The bad blood between John Bateman and Wests Tigers has gone a step further with the RLPA forced to intervene and rule on matters.
The Rugby League Players Association (RLPA), chaired by former Hull KR man Clint Newton have been forced to intervene after John Bateman argued against the return date that had been set for him by Wests Tigers, per The Daily Telegraph Down Under.
Despite the reported spat between the England international and Benji Marshall being the trigger that saw him loaned out to Warrington Wolves, John Bateman had recently explained his intention to return to see out the final two years of his contract with the NRL club.
After speaking to Serious About RL and explaining that he would definitely be going back, he clarified to NRL.com that his return date would be after Christmas.
That was not what Wests Tigers wanted to hear with this recent report claiming that Wests had called for John Bateman to return on December 21st, something the player would then dispute leading to this recent RLPA intervention.
More drama in John Bateman saga
Reportedly, upon hearing that Wests wanted him in a week earlier than he had expected, Bateman ‘provided a letter from Warrington supporting his claim that he should be given extra time off’.
When presented to the RLPA, they took the side of Bateman and delayed his return to December 28th instead.
Despite that being resolved, it seems apparent that Wests do not really want John Bateman back and have been trying to field offers for him but his $750,000 salary is a sticking point.
‘Messy’ is how Michael Carayannis of The Daily Telegraph described the situation when speaking on SEN radio last week. He explained that neither party is happy but Manly, one of the NRL clubs leading the chase for John Bateman, may not have the cap space for the Englishman.
Carayannis explained: “The Tigers don’t want John Bateman to return and Bateman doesn’t particularly want to return to the club.
“Bateman has that link with Manly but the Sea Eagles have to move a player to accommodate him and they haven’t been able to do that.
“It’s a delicate situation because neither party wants to be aligned with each other next season.”
This recent forced intervention from the RLPA will have undoubtedly soured relations even further making for an even more tenuous relationship between club and player.

Planning ahead for work injuries
Here’s what you can do to be ready if one of your employees gets hurt at work:
- Identify who will handle work injuries
Choose someone who will make sure injuries are reported to us, and stay in contact with injured employees, our claims staff and employees’ physicians. - Keep visible reminders of how to report around your office
Find posters, stickers and more in the resource catalog. - Establish a procedure for injury reporting and train your supervisors
Have guides to the injury reporting process around the workplace for supervisors’ reference. If your organization operates outside of normal business hours, be sure to mention any change in procedure for injuries during nights and weekends. You can use our one-page claim guide or create your own. - Assemble packets for injured employees to take along to the doctor
In each packet, include a Work ability / Return-to-work form, an insurance ID card with our billing instructions and address, and a letter telling the physician you offer light-duty work. We offer a claim packet that contains all of these items in one place, along with additional information on reporting claims and return-to-work. - Create a list of potential light-duty jobs
Ask your managers, “What would you do if you had extra help?” and use their feedback to create the list. Find a list of common transitional, light-duty jobs broken down by industry in the resource catalog. - Establish a return-to-work program
Make sure your employee handbook includes a policy that communicates your commitment to bringing injured workers back as soon as they’re medically able.
Learn more about why and how to create a return-to-work program - Notify us of your preferred clinic
Give your claims representative the name of your preferred clinic, or call us at (800) 937-1181. That way, if someone from your organization reports by phone, we can mention the name of the clinic when they call.
Learn more about why employers should get to know medical providers
Finding out about work injuries
When you or a supervisor become aware of a work injury, you become responsible for reporting it.
In most states, “employer notice” of an injury can include:
- Being told verbally or in writing
- Seeing an accident occur
- Suspecting that an injury occurred
Once you learn of an injury, the clock starts ticking toward state deadlines to either pay or deny workers’ comp benefits. You can help your employee get the right care and avoid fines by reporting all injuries as soon as you learn of them, even if they seem minor.

Published 10:36 pm Tuesday, October 5, 2010
By DAVIS POTTER / Staff Writer
NORTH SHELBY — The Oak Mountain varsity cross country teams captured the boys and girls’ Shelby County cross country championships at Heardmont Park Oct. 5.
The Eagles, who finished with 23 points, had six of the top 10 runners on the boys’ side in Chris Moore, Bryan Wolfe, Travis Rocha, Caleb Mintz, Tanner Syx and Will Hamaker.
Hamaker posted a time of 17:14.14 to finish first in the individual standings.
Hamaker said his mindset coming into the 5K race was simple.
“It’s a really tough course,” Hamaker said. “I wanted to stay in first. This was one of the few races I felt like I could finish at the top, and I wanted to take full advantage of that.”
Syx placed third overall with a time of 17:59.16. Mintz and Rocha finished fifth and sixth after posting times of 18:20.36 and 18:27.19 respectively.

The Oak Mountain varsity girls’ team captured its championship after five runners finished in the top 15 of the individual standings to give the Eagles 37 points.
Toni Payne led the Eagles with a fourth-place finish after posting a time of 21:12.60.
Emily Beckett’s time of 21:28.60 was good enough for seventh place, while Heather Comensky placed ninth overall with a time of 21:32.84.
Elly Gay and Allie Ingram finished in 11th and 13th place respectively with times of 21:50.90 and 22:10.74.
Shelby County’s Jaqueline Head finished in first place individually with a time of 19:49.77.

Briarwood Christian School finished with 55 points to earn second place in the team standings followed by Pelham, Thompson and Chelsea with 57, 101 and 115 points respectively.
Mary Catherine Ellard led the Lions as she finished third overall with a time of 21:11.12. Erin Landa led Pelham as she finished 14th overall with a time of 22:20.05.

If you've been missing your Chris O'Dowd fix since the third series of Moone Boy finished up on Sky last month, fear not.
One of the show's lead cast members, Deirdre O'Kane, revealed this morning that a Moone Boy movie could be on the way very soon.
"I don’t think we’ll ever see Moone Boy back on the telly but they [writers Chris O’Dowd and Nick Murphy] want to make the movie. So, I can see that happening," the actress told the Sunday World.
The show, which won an International Emmy Award for Comedy in 2013 and a British Comedy Award last year, captured the hearts of viewers when it first hit our screens in 2012.
Set in Chris O'Dowd's native Boyle in Co. Roscommon, the show chronicles the antics of schoolboy Martin Moone (David Rawle) and his imaginary friend, Seán (O'Dowd).
Despite worries that Chris' busy schedule and first-time father duties might spell the end for Moone Boy, Deirdre doesn't think he'll be saying goodbye to the show just yet. "Both Chris and Nick love the project so much. It’s their baby. I really do believe the movie will be made," she said.
Deirdre, who plays Martin's long-suffering mum, says she would "definitely be interested" in working on a big-screen version of the show.
"I never say no to a movie. Working on Moone Boy is so much fun. I loved it all and the fact that the viewers loved it too means so much to us," she added.
Okay, Chris, the ball's in your corner. Make it happen.

How Outsourcing eCommerce Order Fulfillment Benefits Your Business
by Christie McLeod on Oct. 28, 2016
Most eCommerce stores deal with the common problem of deciding whether outsourcing order fulfillment is a good idea for their business.
It can certainly be a difficult call. Do you send your inventory to a third party and not be able to walk into your warehouse and see your stock?
However, outsourcing your eCommerce order fulfillment could actually be the deciding factor in the success of your business.
Benefits of Outsourcing Order Fulfillment Services
One challenge that most eCommerce businesses face is reaching out to their customers in entirely different parts of the world.
Shipping can be quite expensive and there are also problems regarding delivery times. You can navigate your way around these problems when you choose an order fulfillment company that has warehouses in multiple locations.
Once you’ve identified the geographical region where most of your customers are, an order fulfillment company can maintain your inventory at a warehouse nearby. Ultimately, you benefit from lower shipping costs and the ability to provide even responsive services.
Experts Take Care Of The Order Handling Process
Order fulfillment companies have the professional expertise to care for all your order handling needs. Most of them are partners with multiple eCommerce stores and have practically seen all sorts of challenges before.
More than often, order fulfillment companies can anticipate inventory issues and inform you so that you put contingency plans in place.
Another important factor here is that order fulfillment companies utilize customized software that can be easily integrated with your eCommerce shopping cart. Using the software helps you keep track of inventory, orders, deliveries and all other performance indicators.
The eCommerce business environment is constantly evolving. It doesn’t matter whether you are offering discount deals or holiday specials, outsourcing order fulfillment takes the stress off your shoulders.
Simply put, when outsourced, you have the flexibility to grow your business without hiring additional employees or investing in new equipment.
Focus On Aspects That Matter The Most
Identifying what you are really good at is the key to succeeding in eCommerce. Most successful online stores are focused on driving traffic to their website through online initiatives. Acquisition and maintenance of a loyal customer base is what helps them grow. You don’t want to invest in forklifts or spend hours sorting items in your warehouse.
When you outsource eCommerce order fulfillment, you have plenty of time to focus on aspect of your business that matter most.
Shipfusion sets your business on autopilot and combines flexible, reliable fulfillment with powerful, real-time technology. Shipfusion has multiple fulfillment centers across the US and Canada– making it easy to manage your eCommerce business. For more information on how to set your business on autopilot, contact one of our fulfillment specialists today.

How Much Can I Get from a Car Accident Settlement?
If you have recently been in a car accident you may be wondering how much you can get in a settlement. This is a fair question, especially as you start to face mounting medical bills and other unexpected expenses.
At Shook & Stone, we understand that every case is unique, and our seasoned car accident attorneys are here to help you maximize your settlement options. Here is some insight into how we evaluate claims and what factors can influence the amount you may receive in a car accident settlement.
What Factors Determine My Settlement Amount?
Several key elements can impact the value of a car accident claim. Here are the things that our team at Shook & Stone will look at:
Medical costs can make up a large part of a car accident claim, depending on the severity of the accident. This includes both current and future expenses related to the injuries inflicted by the crash.
Lost Wages and Future Earnings
If you have been injured in a car accident, you may have been forced to miss some work, which results in lost wages. In some cases, you are unable to return to the job that you were performing before the accident, resulting in reduced future earnings. Our attorneys will make sure that both are included so that you are fairly compensated for the impact this accident has had on your career.
Pain and Suffering
Nevada law allows you to pursue compensation for physical pain, emotional distress, and reduced quality of life caused by a car accident, and our team can figure out these complex calculations for you.
We will work closely with insurance adjusters and experts to ensure that damage to your vehicle or other personal property is assessed fairly and that you receive adequate compensation to cover all repairs.
Nevada follows a rule that if you are found to be more than 50 percent at fault for the car accident, your ability to recover damages will be barred. Our lawyers will work to reduce any perceived fault on your part and maximize your compensation.
Let Shook & Stone Handle Your Car Accident Settlement Negotiations
The aftermath of a car accident is a challenging and stressful time, but you don’t have to walk that road alone. Contact our dedicated lawyers at Shook & Stone today. Our capable attorneys will evaluate your car accident case, discuss potential settlement options, and guide you on the best path forward.

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — Tottenham forward Son Heung-min finished his three-week military training in South Korea on Friday and was right near the top of the class.
The 27-year-old Son entered the Marine Corps training camp on the southern island of Jeju on April 20 for a basic training period that he undertook while the Premier League was suspended because of the coronavirus pandemic.
Social distancing restrictions still in place in South Korea meant Son’s graduation ceremony was closed to the public. That didn’t stop dozens of fans from waiting outside.
Local media reported that Son was presented with an award given to the top five performing trainees in the group of 157, and achieved a perfect record in shooting.
South Korea’s Yonhap news agency cited a military official as saying Son received a “Pilsung” prize, which is one of five awards for top performers.
“All the courses were judged in a fair and strict manner, and his military training officers have said he went through the training faithfully,” the Marine Corps officer told Yonhap.
Son was fulfilling requirements of the military service exemption he earned by winning the gold medal for South Korea in the soccer tournament at the 2018 Asian Games. Without the exemption, he would have been required by law to serve 21 months.
After basic training, he still has community service obligations to finish by 2023 to complete all military duties.
Tottenham said Son would return to the club next week. The Premier League is trying to find a way to resume in June but group practice sessions have not yet started.
South Korea’s K-League kicked off Friday with defending champion Jeonbuk Motors facing Suwon Bluewings in the southwestern city of Jeonju.
The K-League had been scheduled to start on Feb. 29 but had to be delayed because of the virus outbreak.
No fans will be allowed in stadiums, many of which were built for the 2002 World Cup and have capacities of more than 40,000.

First, he shared the foundation and statistics for potential risks of businesses who skimp on documentation. Then he told real-life stories.
Now, I've seen Joe speak before at a local STC chapter meeting. I always learn something new about how to produce good technical documentation. Usually that moment of enlightenment comes out of the shock of something I've just heard him say with regard to someone else's content. (Something that usually triggered a major catastrophe for the company in question.)
Today was no different.
For example, did you know that the Google Books project that started in 2002, went live in 2004, was halted by a lawsuit by the Authors Guild and the Association of American Publishers in 2005 and that once had a tentative settlement set for $125M remains unsettled? Think of the ongoing costs of legal services in a 10-year lawsuit alone... Heck, even if you win, you lose. Lawsuits aren't cheap.
And, just because you have a disclaimer in your documentation, do you think that makes your company immune from lawsuits? Don't count on it if someone dies because your docs are bad. That's what happened to one RV company.
When a lawsuit is filed, it's not only the engineers who look into product safety, construction, and usage. The forensic linguists get involved too: They look at user manuals. They compare your documentation against that of your competitors. Are you using the standards set for your industry and documentation in general? Are your docs as good as theirs?
Then he talked about the crash of ValuJet Flight 592 and showed some examples of their documentation, specifically those docs cited in the NTSB report. He talked about how the NTSB compared ValuJet's docs to the docs from Alaska Airlines. And he spent a good amount of time showing examples from the ValuJet documentation and pointing out things that contributed to the airline accident.
It was a sobering presentation and an important topic for anyone who is writing product documentation.
So, what do you say to management when they push back about producing quality documentation? People Might Die. Or the company may be subject to a debilitating lawsuit.
If you want to read more about forensic documentation and linguistics, check out Robert Shuy's "Fighting over Words".
And, if you missed Joe's session, I highly recommend watching the video recording.

It’s been revealed by Andrew Garfield that he and Tobey Maguire snuck into a screening of Spider-Man: No Way Home together.
Garfield revealed this during a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight.
Here’s what Garfield had to say about his trip to the cinema with Tobey Maguire to watch Spider-Man: No Way Home in secret:
I still can’t believe it happened. I snuck into a theatre on opening night and just watched with my baseball cap on and my mask. In fact, I was also with Tobey, me and Tobey snuck into a theatre together and no one knew we were there. It was just a really beautiful thing to share together.
Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire snuck into a Spider-Man: No Way Home screening together
That would have been an incredible experience for both Tobey and Andrew and I really wish I was one of the people in that screening.
Imagine finding out you were in a screening of Spider-Man: No Way Home and finding out afterwards that both Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield were in the theatre also.
That would be insane. I bet some people in the theatre would have noticed them in the crowd.
Now, that would have been a huge thrill.
I’ve got chills just thinking about it.

Spritz this scent over you and become instantly and irresistibly desirable — that’s what perfume manufactures would love to be able to say with the backing of science. But they can’t. Despite decades of research, so far no one has found a true human sex pheromone. Yet that hasn’t stopped at least one company from bending the facts a bit, reports Joseph Stromberg for Vox.
Pheromones are simply chemical signals from insects, plants and all manner of animals are capable of eliciting a specific, biological response in another individual. Often they signal sexual availability, but they can also indicate social status and relatedness.
Researchers have found hints that human pheromones exist: The smell of tears, for example, seems to tamp down men’s sexual arousal and testosterone levels. However, isolating the chemical compound in tears that provokes that response hasn’t yet happened.
In 1991, a small paper claimed to have worked with two "putative human pheromones," androstadienone and estratetraenol. The problem was, those pheromones weren’t isolated from human sweat, tears or other substance. They were actually supplied by a company called Erox. They were interested in patenting the two chemicals to use in their perfumes and colognes. Stromberg writes:
Both the university and the paper's lead author, Luis Monti-Bloch, had a stake in Erox (which was founded by former Utah professor David Berliner), and Monti-Bloch would go on to work for the company. But the paper didn't mention these conflicts of interest.
However, once that paper was in the body of scientific literature, other curious scientists started investigating. Some even found that these chemicals could effect the mood of men and women. Perhaps frustrated by this trend, another researcher, Tristram D. Wyatt, recently published a review of all that work and pointed out how it was based on a flawed study. He called the decades spent chasing these two fake pheromones "the lost decades."
Wyatt argues that humans may have pheromones, but in order to find them researchers need to return to the basic, careful methods used to isolate pheromones from other mammals.
Why did research get so off track? Wyatt points out that research on human sexuality is surprisingly underfunded.
Another consideration might be that the perfume industry is great at appealing to emotion — like any industry looking to sell a product. The allure of pheromones, with their promise of excitement and mystery, may have even effected scientists.
Perfumers are very good at playing up that mystery. Even today, recipes for scents are carefully guarded, the materials to craft a perfume are expensive and the knowledge of chemistry keeps it within the realm of experts. “It’s an extremely secretive industry," Saskia Wilson-Brown, who runs a non-profit focused on "making the art of perfumery accessible to the public," told NPR’s Science Friday. "People have their formulas and they keep holding on to those; they don’t share them. I mean, I understand why—it’s a business model; I get it. It’s just a very closed industry.”

Isomaltulose is a glucose-fructose disaccharide, found naturally in honey and sugarcane extract. Isomaltulose is produced by the biotechnological process, and is used as a functional carbohydrate because of its various nutritional and physiological properties.
In Japan, isomaltulose has been industrially used since 1985 in a wide range of products, including yogurt, chewing gum and sugar confectionery. In Europe, it was classified as "innovative food" recently. The main uses of isomaltulose as the sole sweetener are the production of sports and energy drinks, beverages that replace food, nutritional and energy bars, and cereal breakfasts.

Follow your bliss and the Universe will open doors where there were only walls ~ Joseph Campbell
For centuries people have been on an expedition to find out who they are, why they are here, and what it all means. And to share all of that with others to be of service to the world. Your Soul contains the agenda of why you are here and what you have to accomplish. Being in connection with that allows you to create a path of being your sacred purpose. This program is designed so you feel supported, protected and loved on that journey. It is also designed to provide you with all the resources and tools required for that adventure.
How do you know this program is for you? If you are experiencing feelings of:
- Not being seen
- Not enough
- Empty and unfulfilled
- Where’s your community?
- Judgment about your path (been on the path a long time, why am I not getting what I want or why don’t I know all the answers?)
- Can’t let go of past experiences around your purpose or living your purpose
- Afraid to make a move
This program will jump start you in providing a:
- Deep understanding of your purpose
- Understanding the how of your purpose and a structure to take action that you can use again and again
- Ways to release fear on an on-going basis (because fear is going to come up again)
- Deep unwavering of your truth and your connection
You will feel at the end of it and know:
- That you are enough
- Clear on your purpose and on-going clarity of your next steps
- Confident to continue to make transformation in your life
- A knowing that you are enough to be and live your purpose
- Closer to the Divine
- Closer to the community you are here to serve
- Supported by your communities
- A deep sense of relief that it is your “turn” to live and be your purpose
If you are like me, you want to know the elements and the investment, so here it is:
Daily Understanding Your Sacred Mission Tools and Practices
Each day you will receive an email with a 5-10 minute practice to understand your purpose, release a fear or block, and/or take action on your purpose.
These daily practices can be used again and again to support your development and growth in your sacred mission and purpose.
This is a program that is designed to support and hold you accountable to your sacred mission. It is designed to remind you that you are whole and complete and to provide you with structure and support so that you can understand and take action on your sacred mission and purpose. This is the hero’s journey (with all of its bliss and love). I know you have the strength to take this leap. I took the leap without looking, and honestly, without a lot of tools just with a deep knowing that there had to be a better way of being. I would be honored to share my knowledge, the tools I developed, and help you recapture your faith and trust.

Prostate Cancer Affects One in Every Six Men
About 16 percent of men will develop prostate cancer, the most common cancer in men other than skin cancer. The American Cancer Society estimates that there will be about 218,890 new cases of prostate cancer in the United States in 2007. Prostate cancer is the second-leading cause of cancer-related death in men, after lung cancer. The good news is that prostate cancer is also one of the most treatable types of cancer, and the death rates are declining due to early detection and improved treatments.
While 1 in 6 men will get prostate cancer during his lifetime, only 1 in 34 will die of this disease.

Rebecca Turley is a hospice nurse who works a 13-hour shift. She cares for families and their patients. As a hospice nurse, Rebecca witnesses people in their last moments of life. Nurses grow attached to some patients, and their death is devastating.
Rebecca was finishing her shift when she witnessed someone breathing for the last time. She shared a message which she hopes others before they kick the bucket.
Rebecca gracefully explains that life is short. Working with people who are staring at death makes one immune. However, there are a few patients that get you. For instance, she was very close to the man that died before her shift ended.
The last breaths of the deceased were “magical’ as his family surrounded him. However, there are patients who receive the sad news when they set their feet into the hospice. Some have less than a week to live. Even when you are expecting such news, the person still wonders if they have lived their lives to the fullest. Is there anything they wish they would have done differently?
The situation got the nurse thinking about how precious and short life is, and she shares her thoughts with the world.
Check out Rebecca’s inspiring video below.

As she continued her obituary, Todd admitted that she hadn’t done anything worthy of the history books.
She said her greatest accomplishments were the birth of her two sons, James and Jason, her marriage to her loving husband, Brian, and her faith in Jesus Christ. Todd also indicated that she didn’t want to put her friends in a situation where they might have to lie or make something up to make people think she has a more interesting life.
She added that what she most wanted people to know about her was that every day she tried to be her best self and often failed a lot in her goal.
Todd also wrote that she truly loves everyone in her life. When she was finally diagnosed, the young mother realized that the things she saw most clearly were the simple sins and the times when she unintentionally hurt others. She regretted the times when she wasn’t sensitive enough to the people in her life.
Later, Todd joked with his readers that there were, in fact, benefits for dying young people, like not having to pay student loans and not worrying about the ozone layer. She knew some people might describe her as a geek for writing her own obituary, but Todd said she did it to let people in her life know how grateful she was for everything they had. made for her. In a moving moment, she said knowing all her good friends and family members made her life worth living.
In the final part of her obituary, Todd included some of the things she suggested people do in honor of her memory. Among them were:
Volunteer at a school, church or library.
Write a letter to someone and tell them how they had a positive impact on your life.
If you smoke, quit smoking.
If you drink and drive, stop.
Turn off electronics, take a child out for ice cream, and talk to them about their hopes and dreams.
Forgive those who do not deserve it.
Stop by all the kid-run lemonade stands and brag about their product.
Make someone smile today if you can.
Todd’s short but powerful suggestions may seem small, but they make a lot of sense. Ultimately, life is made up of the little things, as his moving obituary proves. If you have the power to make someone’s day a little bit better, take that chance, because you never know how you can make another person’s life better.
Todd also thanked “everyone who has helped her along the way.” She added:
“Those who loved me, helped me, cared for me, laughed with me, and taught me things so I could have a wonderful, happy life. I was blessed to know you all.”
Although it was a bittersweet message she left to the world, Todd’s obituary had a huge impact on people around the world. Even if you only take one thing away from her post, don’t forget to tell the people you care about how much they mean to you.

This morning I was invited to the Press Launch of West Coast Cooler - Belfast Fashion Week. The event itself was hosted by the lovely and incredibly stylish Cathy Martin and Rebecca McKinney and was an invite only event. On the surface the Press Launch is an insight into the trends that will be showcased at this years main show in October. This will be SBB’s third season involved with WCCFW and something tells me it will be the best one yet!
The day itself was incredible - and don’t get me wrong, I didn't think anything less from the BFW team - but this season was extra special. The venue, as it has been for the past few seasons, was Life Church on Bruce Street. The interiors were dreamy, I’m talking fairy lights draped everywhere, furniture hanging from the ceiling, soft lighting and adorable little areas with inspirational quotes and trinkets scattered everywhere.
Upon arrival it was time for a few snaps and to enjoy beautiful tasters from Fratelli. We were then lead into the main area where Cathy & Rebecca were awaiting to discuss the top trends for AW16.
Big on the check list for this season is suede. And if you had the enjoyment of reading my last blog post, you would have seen that SBB are bang on top of suede for this season! We have the most adorable khaki green suede flare dress (pic below) and pencil skirt in the season. (**After my last blog post the skirt has sold out but will be back in store this week!)
We had quite a few looks featured in this seasons press launch. First of all was our super cute mustard dress which Cathy and her team paired with a beautiful blouse from M&S I believe…. (Correct me if I'm wrong, Cathy!)
Next up was the beautiful Ashleigh Coyle wearing one of our sparkly numbers which is totally exclusive to Spoilt Belle Boutique for Northern Ireland.
One of our favorite outfits featured is our sell out Karl Lagerfeld tee paired with our black tulle skirt.
Once the presentation was over we enjoyed a Westcoast Cooler (naughty I know!) and ice-cream and strawberries served by Yogland NI.
I then bumped into the beautiful Katie Larmour where it was time to discuss all things fashion for Belfast Fashion Week TV.
After a HORRIFIC fake tan incident last night I opted for this long sleeve Jumpsuit from our AW collection in store. Its super comfy and hides all the sins - esp the baby belly! I paired it with my new black Louboutins and my Neverfull MM
So Cathy and her team pulled off another amazing show today and has left me mega excited for the main show in October.
Oh and the goodie bags!....
Each bag was filled with the most amazing products. From jewelry to make up and skin care products - I can't wait to try them all! There was also TWO £50 gift vouchers for Galgorm Spa!

Indian all-rounder Hardik Pandya was spotted at India's ICC ODI World Cup 2023 semi-final against New Zealand. Pandya was ruled out of the World Cup with an ankle ligament tear against Bangladesh in Pune. Batting first, the Men in Blue continued their magical form in the World Cup into the knockout stage as they posted 238 runs in 33 overs. India's run-scoring juggernaut was once again kick-started by the captain Rohit Sharma, who smashed 47 in 29 balls.
After Sharma departed, Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli carried forward this onslaught. Though Gill went back retired hurt at 79, Iyer didn't let the scoring rate go down. Amidst this batting carnage, as the camera panned towards the crowd, Hardik Pandya was spotted sitting next to Bollywood actor John Abraham as he cheered on his teammates.
Check out Hardik Pandya in Wankhede Stadium here:
After getting hurt on October 19, Pandya was given six to eight weeks of rest. Further, the Indian medical staff was hopeful that Hardik would recover to play in India's last league match against the Netherlands on November 12. But with Pandya's swelling failing to improve, he couldn't pass the fitness tests and hence he was eventually ruled out of the tournament, with Prasidh Krishna being his replacement.
Addressing his injury, Hardik Pandya shared an emotional tweet where he wished his team well for the remainder of the World Cup. The tweet said, " Tough to digest the fact that I will miss out on the remaining part of the World Cup."
"I'll be with the team, in spirit, cheering them on every ball of every game. Thanks for all the wishes, the love, and the support has been incredible. This team is special and I'm sure we'll make everyone proud. Love, always, HP."

Protein Bar Cappuccino
Why consume protein bars: Sprintade® PROTEIN BAR
Protein bars represent a convenient and practical option to supplement your diet with an extra protein intake. They’re perfect for those looking for a quick and convenient protein replenishment on the go, after a workout or as a snack between meals. These snacks are designed to provide a significant amount of high-quality protein, which is essential for muscle repair and growth. Additionally, protein bars often feature a balanced combination of nutrients, making them a healthy alternative to other, less nutritious snacks.
Protein bars suitable for keto diets
Our bars have a very low sugar content, quantities between 3 and 1.5% and therefore irrelevant. The calorie intake of a bar is proportionate and concentrated on the right macros for those following a high-protein or ketogenic diet.
Protein bars are a mainstay in sports nutrition and fitness, and our “Low Sugar” version with 21 grams of protein stands out as a cost-effective choice. Sprintade® PROTEIN BAR offers a complete protein profile to promote muscle synthesis without compromising sugar intake. With a reduced sugar content, it allows you to satisfy your protein needs without excess carbohydrates. Ideal for targeted protein supplementation, our “very low sugar” bar is a complete nutritional solution for those looking for protein support.
With a fairly low calorie intake, Sprintade® PROTEIN BAR manages to guarantee a high sense of satiety, exactly what we look for from a protein snack of this type.

A crisis is a situation when we are very stressed and feel threatened. However, sometimes it is difficult to determine when we are in crisis. You can tell by a number of signs.
Among them are:
Feeling stressed and tense
Feelings of anxiety or depression
Inability to concentrate or worry
Loss of interest in life
A crisis may be related to a variety of events or situations, such as the death of a loved one, divorce, layoff, illness, or disability. At this moment, we may feel lonely and misunderstood.
If you are in crisis, the first step is to realize that you are not alone. Many people face similar difficulties and experience the same pain. You shouldn't belittle your importance or hide your feelings. We should not be afraid to admit that we need help. To find support is very important.
You need to talk about your feelings and worries and share your pain and concerns. This will help you feel better and find ways out of a difficult situation.
The #SRNT will have information about all the help available in your area for most crisis situations. You will also be able to find support in #SRNT from people who have been through similar situations.Remember that everyone experiences crises at different times in life. This is normal. But it is important to understand that a crisis is a temporary situation.

Social Security Disability. To give context to the unprecedented backlogs and long waiting times for disability decisions at the DDSs, the Board released a report outlining the SSA/DDS relationship’s history, evolution, and management and highlighted areas warranting further review. The Board also commissioned an independent report examining SSA’s return-to-work policies and their effects on beneficiaries, including incurring overpayments.
Supplemental Security Income. The Board released its 2023 SSI Statement urging Social Security to consider the barriers and challenges facing American Indians and Alaska Natives when applying for SSI.
Service to the Public. For the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic, the Board was able to visit SSA field offices to observe operations in person and speak directly to field office managers about the challenges faced by their offices post-reopening.

Medical Bus Available for Seniors
SSSEVA getting the word out to more seniors to take advantage of service
Though its medical bus service is more than a year old, Senior Services of Southeastern Virginia is still trying to get the word out so more seniors will take advantage of it to get to appointments.
The bus route runs every Monday and Thursday from 7 a.m. until 2 p.m. and makes continuous loops starting and ending at Sentara Obici Hospital in Suffolk and traveling through Isle of Wight County and Western Tidewater.
It costs just $1 per ride, per person, and is wheelchair-accessible. On days the bus operates, it runs two routes twice per day, alternating between the two. Both routes start and end at Sentara Obici Hospital.
The first route leaves the hospital at 7 a.m. and goes to Oliver Drive and Benns Church Road, the Park and Ride in Smithfield, Racetrack Road, the Ivor Medical and Dental Clinic, Marlette Street, Hazelwood Mobile Estates, the Western Tidewater Free Clinic and then back to Sentara Obici around 8:33 a.m. The bus also runs this same route later in the morning, leaving Sentara Obici at 10:20 a.m. and returning at 11:53 a.m.
The second route, which leaves the hospital at 8:40 a.m., goes to D&P Quick Stop in Chuckatuck, the Park and Ride in Smithfield, Comet Road, Holy Ground Church, Ivor Medical and Dental Clinic, Windsor Court One Apartments, the Western Tidewater Free Clinic and then back to Sentara Obici by 10:13 a.m. The bus runs this route a second time starting at noon from Sentara Obici, and returns to the hospital around 1:33 p.m.
The medical bus started in February 2018 after Senior Services of Southeastern Virginia received grant money to buy a van, but Western Tidewater Free Clinic Executive Director Chet Hart said the service is still not well-known.
“We’ve seen some improvement, but I think we’re still trying to get the message out that it’s available,” said Hart, who is also part of the Western Tidewater Community Transportation Collaborative. “People just don’t know about it. It’s been a challenge getting people to realize it’s available.”
Hart said he was unsure of its ridership, but said as the word spreads, he believes more people will take advantage of the service.
“I try to look when I see it come up, and sometimes there’s nobody on it, and sometimes there is,” Hart said.
He said fliers have been posted in the Western Tidewater Free Clinic and at the hospital, but he said outreach efforts to target seniors in need of transportation are ongoing.
For more information about the bus route, call 642-0338 or 328-1440.

The future Space Campus will provide specific geographic areas in Luxembourg exclusively dedicated to space-related activities to ensure the competitive position of companies and public research organisations in this field.
Minister of Economy Franz Fayot and Minister of Higher Education and Research Claude Meisch presented the concept of the future Space Campus, whose goal is to create specific geographic areas in Luxembourg exclusively dedicated to space-related activities to ensure the competitive position of companies and public research organizations in this field.
The new infrastructure, for which the groundbreaking ceremony is scheduled for 2024, will be built in accordance with best practices in environmental protection, urban mobility and human well-being.
The first buildings are expected to be operational in 2026. “Ultimately, the campus aims to become the center of gravity of the Luxembourg space ecosystem,” stated Minister Fayot.
Two space campus sites
The campus will be hosted at two sites, one focusing on companies and the other on public space research. The main site (7 hectares) will be located in Kockelscheuer close to Luxembourg City.
It will focus on high-tech activities and will house the headquarters of the Luxembourg Space Agency as well as activities directly linked to companies. This unique infrastructure integrates office space, shared technical infrastructure (including a test centre with a surface area of 3,000m2) for companies and an incubator to host start-ups.
This project will be the tangible expression of the investment of the country in general and of the Ministry of the Economy in particular in this area and will strengthen the visibility as well as the attractiveness of the Grand Duchy on the national, European and international scene.” Franz Fayot, Minister of the Economy
The second site in Belval with an area of 69 ares – with the possibility of eventually occupying 1.9 hectares – will be located next to the University of Luxembourg.
The Belval site will bring together the space research activities and laboratories of the Interdisciplinary Center for Security, Reliability and Trust (SnT) and the European Space Resource Innovation Center (ESRIC). Most of the space research activities will be concentrated in Belval within the Cité des Sciences creating the best possible conditions for the emergence of future synergies.
Today, Luxembourg is home to about 75 companies and research laboratories active in the space sector and employs nearly 1,200 people.

Today we feature day two of Shelby and Mike’s amazing, destination engagement session with traveling photographer, Steven Miller, of Steven Miller Photography Orlando!! Shelby and Mike hired us to travel with them to one of our favorite National Parks, the Grand Canyon, in Arizona!! We spent two days showing them around the park, all while capturing their engagement photos!! Although they are celebrating their wedding day in back home Florida, they wanted to do something VERY different for their e-session!! During the first day, we took them to one of our favorite secret locations in the park, secluded from large parking lots and crowds, and fully surrounded by the grandeur of the canyon!! Of course we ended day one with a very late night-sky portrait session, staying up late into 3:00 AM, which was necessary to capture the massive Milky Way Galaxy high above them!
Of course, day two started off a bit later so we could sleep in and re-energize from the dark-sky session! After a quick lunch, we drove right back into the park, and began capturing again!! This time, we opted for a more traditional excursion, and hiked along a portion of the Bright Angel Trail! This trail is a very populated hiking route, which can take you all the way down into the canyon to the famous Phantom Ranch, which is a challenging 10 mile hike down!! Suffice it to say, we….did not hike that far! We took it easy and slowly made our way down, stopping at various scenic locations for photos! Hilariously, Shelby continually received strange looks and comments from fellow hikers asking if she was planning on hiking the entire trail in her high-heels, which of course she was not! We mentioned she should totally lie and say ‘Of COURSE!’, but she explained that she would switch to her hiking shoes when not posing for photos! :)
After a couple hours of exploring the Bright Angel Trail, we packed it up and hiked it back up to the rim, and drove back to our secret spot for one more sunset session!! We had much more portrait time on day two here, so we took advantage of the beautiful Ponderosa Pine forest-scape before hiking out to the canyon again! After watching another spectacular Arizona sunset, we headed back for dinner again!
Much to the shock of Steven, he managed to convince Shelby and Mike to try another night sky portrait session this night as well!! When you’re planning sessions like this, you have to keep the moon in mind, making sure it’s not in the sky if you wish to truly get dark-sky images filled with stars! However, the moon was to be in the sky throughout the night, so Steven wanted instead to try more portraits with natural moonlight (quite an extreme for natural light!!). They agreed, and crossed our fingers that the wind would take a temporary break…of course…it didn’t…The excessive wind forced us to pack it in pretty early, but we were still able to capture a few great shots!! Sadly enough, the end of this session meant goodbye for us all!! Shelby and Mike continued to enjoy their Grand Canyon vacation, while Steven continued his drive up to, and through, Utah! These states out west are seriously home to some of the most beautiful landscapes AND darkest night skies, and we hope we were able to feature Shelby and Mike beautifully within them all! We hope these two enjoy their engagement session sneak peeks, and keep us in mind for their next adventure!!

Distance: 5.8 miles Total Ascent: 767 metres Time Taken: 4 hours 20 minutes Start Time: 09:20
Weather: Cold with long sunny spells. 4&c;C
Today I had a meeting with Clive Hutchby who has edited Wainwright Book 1, The Eastern Fells (more of that below) so we decided on a walk on the Far Eastern Fells which is the book under revision at the moment. When we arrived at Sadgill the weather was looking very promising and stayed pleasingly wintry pretty much all of the way round apart from a couple of heavy hail showers. The snow ceratinly lit up the scenery today showing this area in its best light. The only downside to that was the deep snow hid the worst of the boggy bits so on the odd occasion we were past boot depth in snow and mud.
On Saturday 4th April the Eastern Fells will be launched in Keswick Love the Lakes with the same happening on Sunday 5th April at Love the Lakes Bowness on Windermere. We would love to see you there – Clive Hutchby will be signing and the furry fiends Fletcher and Dougal will both be in attendance. If you cannot make it, you can pre-order a signed copy complete with the launch weekend stamp (shown above the book in the photo) here

As we commemorate Singularity’s 10th anniversary, we’re reflecting on the impressive work of SU’s 60+ Portfolio Companies. These impact-focused ventures are building moonshot solutions to global challenges using exponential technologies. Here are five SU startups that are already having an impact now—and offering great reasons to be optimistic about the future.
Deep Blocks is poised to revolutionize real estate development by helping to drive down the costs of construction and enable better cities of the future. In the words of Deep Blocks co-founder Olivia Ramos, her company has “built a way for all of the existing industry players to be 1,000 times faster at what they do. We’ve created a tool that allows them to be very efficient, to optimize buildings with far less cost. We’re reducing the cost by 10x and the time by 1,000x. We’re making these industry players exponentially better at what they already do."
ImpactVision is working hard to combat food waste and world hunger. The company’s software platform applies hyperspectral imaging technology and machine learning to food supply chains. The result: faster food quality analysis, greater transparency, less waste, increased yield, and products of a consistent quality delivered to consumers. Co-founders Abi Ramanan and Gustav Nipe started the company while attending Singularity University’s Global Startup Program (GSP) and emerged 10 months later with a minimum viable product to show prospective customers.
Nexleaf Analytics works to preserve human life and protect the planet by designing sensor technologies, generating data analytics, and advocating for data-driven solutions to global challenges. The company creates low-cost technology devices and data analytics tools that address the needs of people living and working on the front lines of global public health issues and climate change.
Sanzfield Technologies recognizes that for our planet’s survival, water must be an abundant resource. Committed to addressing this challenge, the company leveraged an innovative new biotechnology process of electro-oxidation and electro-molecular maceration to invent a system that rapidly sanitizes water for reuse, using minimal energy and no chemicals.
Authentise is helping to reduce global supply chain failures by making distributed manufacturing more cost-effective and reliable. The company, which came into being during SU’s GSP, is the second largest company in the $40M market for automation software of 3D printing and provides additive manufacturing software to Nike, Ricoh, UPS, U.S. Industrial Machinery, and others.

Drone’s crash-landing on Lexington’s tallest building prompts concern
LEXINGTON, Ky. (WKYT) – At-Large Urban County Councilman Richard Moloney said he was surprised to learn that a drone crash-landed on top of the Fifth Third building this weekend. However, Moloney said he was more concerned about the drone’s proximity to the Blue Grass Airport, about 6 miles away from downtown.
Moloney says he plans to form a committee to education people on drones — what is and what isn’t allowed.
“I think it’s an issue,” said Moloney, who has been a pushing education of drone use. “The number of drones have gone way up and being that close to the airport and being on the airport board I have concern.”
Downtown Lexington’s Fifth Third Bank building stands over 400 feet tall, the maximum height for unmanned drones.
The drone crash-landed on top of the building around mid-day Saturday.
Workers say the drone operator went inside the Fifth Third building and asked security if he could go up to the roof to get his drone. He wasn’t allowed to do so.
The building’s security immediately called the Federal Aviation Administration, the national aviation authority, and alerted them to what happened.
A spokeswoman with the FAA confirmed the report that an unmanned aircraft crashed on the roof of a building at 250 West Main Street. The FAA contacted the operator, and provided him with information about requirements for safely operating unmanned aircraft.
Chris Stiles is the President of Unmanned Services, Inc.- a drone flight services company.
“The FAA has so many regulations that affect manned aircrafts, the books are really thick. The aviation regulations, some of them still apply to us. We still have to know and fly according to that and then some things we’re exempt from- some things where there’s stricter mandates put on it. It’s figuring out and knowing all the things. It takes a lot of work. It takes a lot of knowledge,” Stiles said.

Catherine Collins: 6 Useful Tips for Increasing Storage Space in Your Bedroom
Organising bedroom storage is easy when you have an open area, but what can you do if you’re stuck with a small bedroom that doesn’t have a lot of manoeuvring space? In that case, you need to think outside the box and find a couple of creative ideas, so if you too are looking for ways to increase your storage space, the following suggestions might help you find a solution.
This is the oldest trick in the book, but it’s still one of the most effective ones, and the philosophy behind it is simple – if you have fewer things to store, you won’t need that much storage space. So, before you start organising your clothes, declutter your closet and throw away all the things you’re not wearing anymore, and only then start thinking about the other items and create a zen-like atmosphere.
Use the space under the bed
Even if you don’t have a California king bed, your bedroom is probably equipped with quite a huge bed, which means you have a ton of unused storage space underneath it. And unless you want it to go to waste, do something about it because utilising it can make a huge difference in your bedroom storage space organisation. Add some handy containers under your bed and keep your linens, beddings, pillows and blankets there. Alternatively, you can store bigger clothing items such as jackets, sweaters and winter trousers there and free up some space in your wardrobe.
Speaking of wardrobes, the problem most often isn’t their size, but practicality – they take most of your bedroom space! Moreover, they usually don’t fit your walls and rarely utilise all the available space, which is why opting for wall-to-wall and floor-to-ceiling wardrobes is the best solution for those who are in a desperate need for storage space. Moreover, if you have sliding doors, you wardrobe will be much more compact even when it’s opened, which is why more and more people are looking for built in wardrobes, paired with sliding doors thus saving a lot of space – not to mention fitting all their clothes in there easily!
Use the upper space
Bedrooms with high ceilings offer lots of unused space and even though not everyone is a fan of maximising it, this can really make a difference when it comes to storing all those things you don’t use on a regular basis. So, if you install high shelves along the perimeter of your walls and use them for storing boxes, you can save a considerable amount of space in the wardrobe, and that means quite a lot in the long run.
Practical bedside tables and nightstands
For all those avid readers out there, who love nothing more than curling up in their bed with a new volume of Knausgaard’s My Struggle, a small lamp near their pillow is simply a must. But, what if their bedside tables and nightstands surpassed their initial purpose and became a small storage unit instead? Adding a couple of drawers and shelves shouldn’t be too hard and this is something you can even do on your own, so make a plan and turn these bedside tables and nightstands into something that gives you extra storage room for your sheets or blankets.
Repurpose a dresser
We all have at least one antique dresser we don’t use because it’s unpractical and takes more space than it should, so think about repurposing it. Turning it into a storage unit is one of the most creative DIY tasks in the world, and you can come up with a bunch of solutions: from a small bookcase for all your favourites to an adorable little bench that can actually provide you with some extra storage space. Finding new ways to organise storage in your bedroom is also important for keeping things in your home innovative, so search for new solutions every once in a while and your life will become more exciting as well.

Garden Fresh Restaurants LLC, which owns Souplantation and Sweet Tomatoes, has filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy protection and is liquidating all assets. The buffet-style brands, which had 4,400 employees, weren’t able to survive the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and permanently closed all 97 restaurants and three distribution centers in early May. It is the largest restaurant bankruptcy and liquidation as a result of the pandemic, according to a company press release.
RestaurantEquipment.Bid is auctioning all equipment and contents now through June 30.
“Garden Fresh’s bankruptcy is an early sign of the challenges to come for the restaurant industry in the wake of COVID-19. Our aim with online auctions is to ensure that quality items don’t end up in a landfill — but instead allows for sustainable repurposing that not only makes economic sense but will provide a positive outcome for surviving restaurant operators who can benefit from this liquidation,” Neal Sherman, president of TAGeX Brands, which operates RestaurantEquipment.Bid.
Leslie Gladstone, Trustee of the Bankruptcy who also serves as an officer of the National Association of Bankruptcy Trustees, said the goal of the auction is to help the chain’s creditors recover some of their money.
“We also intend to provide a sustainable re-use of the equipment that will make a difference for other restaurants who have been incredibly challenged as a result of the pandemic,” she said in the release.
Garden Fresh was founded in 1978 in San Diego, expanding across the US with over 23 locations in Florida.
The restaurant industry has lost over $225 billion in revenue putting over 8 million people out of work and resulting in the temporary or permanent closing of over 150,000 locations, according to the National Restaurant Association.

Harvey Weinstein and Many More Tried for Sexual Assault
After over two years of numerous allegations of sexual assault coming to light, Harvey Weinstein is finally being judged in a court of law.
With the jury having been selected earlier this month, the trial began on January 22, where Weinstein faced five indictments of alleged nonconsensual encounters including two counts of rape to the first and third degree, one count of a criminal sexual act in the first degree, and two more counts of predatory sexual assault.
However, the focus of the defense’s case is that the sexual nature of the relationships between Weinstein and the other women were consensual. Damon Cheronis, one of the Weinstein’s lead attorneys, reported that he plans to reference various emails sent between the accused and the witnesses to demonstrate how they considered Weinstein as a person they cared about both before and after the supposed assault.
In response, the prosecution led by Assistant District Attorneys Joan Illuzi and Maghan Hast not only employed witness testimonies, including actress Annabella Sciorra, but expert ones as well to counter Cheronis’ team and dispel misconceptions about how common it is for sexual assault victims to interact with their abusers in a friendly manner.
In the opening statements last week, Sciorra testified Weinstein raped her in her Manhattan apartment in the early 1990s, and also showed up uninvited outside her hotel room in his underwear. The only things in his hand were baby oil and a video recorder.
It was also revealed that the prosecution disclosed that Weinstein injected erection medication into his genitals before beginning to sexually assault a woman.
The week ended with testimony from actress Rosie Perez, who testified that Ms. Sciorra told her in 1993 that Mr. Weinstein attacked her.
As the case move forwards, prosecutors will continue to make their case against Weinstein this week.
With the trial having yet to completely unfold, it is key to note how Harvey Weinstein is only one of 263 celebrities, CEOs, and politicians who have been accused of sexual misconduct since April 2017. With big names such as R. Kelly, Michael Douglas, and David Copperfield being thrown in the mix, what exactly goes on behind the scenes in the entertainment industry demonstrates that now, more than ever, there needs to be a brighter light that will expose what has lurked in the shadows for far too long.

Photography challenges such as capturing distorted images on your Nikon D7500 can be easily managed thanks to the camera’s built-in retouching tools. These tools allow you to correct crooked horizons and lens-induced distortions directly from your camera. Here’s how to utilize these features effectively:
How To Straighten Crooked And Distorted Photos With The Nikon D7500
Step 1: Using The Straighten Tool
The Straighten tool is your go-to option on the Nikon D7500 to correct uneven horizons. Activating this tool displays an alignment grid over your image, with a yellow marker indicating the rotation direction and degree.
To adjust the marker, simply use the left or right keys on the multi-selector. This tool allows adjustments up to a maximum of five degrees, ensuring your horizons are perfectly level.
Step 2: Using A Distortion Control Tool
Lens distortions, such as barrel and pincushion effects, can be corrected using the Distortion Control tool. Barrel distortion typically causes the center of the image to bulge outward, while pincushion distortion has the opposite effect, shrinking the center.
The Nikon D7500 offers two solutions: Auto Distortion Control, which corrects distortions as images are saved, and a manual option within the retouch menu for post-capture adjustments.
Step 3: Using The Retouch Menu Of Distortion Control Option
Within the retouch menu, you’ll find two distortion control settings. Auto Distortion Control is accessible from the photo shooting menu and automatically corrects lens distortion based on the camera’s lens profile data.
For manual adjustments, select the Manual option from the retouch menu. A scale will display the necessary correction degree and direction. Use the multi-selector to adjust the distortion until your image looks natural.
Step 4: Using The Perspective Control Tool

According to a recent report, TikTok plans to allow cryptocurrency-related ads on its platform. This is a big move for the social media company, as it could help boost interest in cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology. TikTok is working with several crypto companies to develop ad products.

Tiktok Is Planning to Allow Cryptocurrency-Related Ads On Its Platform
Cryptocurrencies have been gaining popularity in recent years as more and more people look for alternative ways to invest their money. Now, it seems like TikTok is getting in on the action. The social media platform is reportedly planning to allow cryptocurrency-related ads. This could boost the crypto industry, as TikTok has a vast user base of young people who are often early adopters of new technologies. Of course, there are also risks associated with crypto-related investments, and it remains to be seen how TikTok will handle these ads. However, if the platform can strike the right balance, this could be a significant win for TikTok and the crypto world.
- The move could pave the way for greater mainstream adoption of digital currencies, as TikTok has a vast user base of young people who are often early adopters of new technology.
- Cryptocurrency ads would also be a lucrative new source of revenue for TikTok, which Chinese tech conglomerate ByteDance owns. The company has been under pressure to find new sources of income after the U.S. government ordered a ban on its app earlier this year
- This is a big move for the social media company, as it could help boost interest in cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology.
- The move to allow crypto ads is likely to be welcomed by the platform’s users, who are already familiar with digital currency.
Risks Associated with TikTok Working Towards Allowing Crypto Ads
- TikTok has a very young user base, making it more vulnerable to scams and fraud. Additionally, the decentralized nature of cryptocurrency markets makes them susceptible to manipulation by groups with significant resources. Consequently, any ads that TikTok allows on its platform will need to be closely vetted to protect users from scams and other fraudulent activity.
- Another risk is that TikTok could become a hotbed for illegal activity. Because crypto transactions are often anonymous, they can be used to launder money or finance criminal activity. If TikTok starts allowing crypto ads, it will need to be very careful to monitor the activity on its platform to make sure that it’s not being used for illegal purposes.
- Another risk associated with investing in digital assets is that many cryptocurrencies are highly volatile, so their prices can fluctuate rapidly. This can make it difficult for investors to assess their investments’ value accurately.
TikTok’s decision to allow crypto ads is a wise move that will likely pay off in the long run. This is a big move for the social media company, as it could help boost interest in cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology. It remains to be seen how successful TikTok will be in this endeavor.

Take a stand for the future of public education in Texas.
Texans for Strong Public Schools is a campaign of the Texas Association of School Boards (TASB). We are dedicated to protecting the valuable role public schools play not only in educating students, but also in supporting our local communities. We make it a priority to advocate for this with state lawmakers.
If you believe in the following, you are a Texan for Strong Public Schools:
- Strong, well-funded public schools are the best way to ensure each and every student has the opportunity to succeed.
- Our hard-earned property tax dollars must stay in our public schools, ensuring neighborhood schools have sufficient funding to educate students.
- School vouchers and other privatization schemes create a costly entitlement program that gives taxpayer dollars to schools that are not held accountable to the public for their performance.
The Texas Association of School Boards is a nonprofit, statewide association dedicated to promoting educational excellence for Texas students and serving local Texas school boards. We represent every school board in Texas — from districts large and small, rural, suburban, and urban.
Our members are the locally elected school boards serving Texas school districts. Board members are unpaid volunteers who are dedicated to educational excellence for Texas school children. They serve because they care about their communities, schools, and most importantly, children.

My first stop upon entering Gamescom 2016 was checking up on Bethesda and hearing any news about the upcoming Dishonored 2. As a fan of the original Dishonored, I loved the fact they were making a sequel. It follows Emily Kaldwin, princess from the original game, as an adult. Clearly she’s learned a couple tricks from Corvo, as she’s following in his footsteps this time around.
After being overthrown by an ‘otherworldly usurper’, Emily and Corvo must travel to the city of Karnaca. There, they will search for the key to restoring her throne. You may choose to play as either Corvo or Emily during this mission.
During a presentation with Bethesda, we were shown some exclusive gameplay of a level called ‘The Clockwork Mansion’. In this level, you are infiltrating the home of a renowned inventor. However, this is no ordinary home. The mansion has been rigged with traps, sliding panels, and clockwork soldiers making it a giant puzzle.
Within the gameplay trailer we were also shown some of the new mechanics and spells. Personally, I was quite impressed! The assassination’s look both swift and visceral. For example, using a skill called Domino, you can mark guards to have whatever is applied to one, applied to them all. What this means is if you decapitate one guard in a crowd of three, suddenly everyone’s heads are popping off like Pez dispensers.
All in all, I like where Dishonored 2 seems headed. The gameplay seems fun and new despite sticking to its roots. The art style is still quite unique despite a massive graphics boost. And to top it all off, if ‘The Clockwork Mansion’ is any indication, the levels seem quite inspired. If they’re all as thematically strong and diverse as a labyrinth filled with clockwork contraptions, Dishonored 2 is all set to follow it’s predecessor for memorable moments.
After seeing that, we were shown Prey, a new game by Arkane Studios. Truthfully, I had heard nothing about Prey until that point. So I went into this presentation completely blind to what was coming. However, after seeing what it has to offer, I’ll definitely be paying more attention.
Billed as a ‘re-imagining’ of another game called Prey from 2006, this new Prey follows the story of Morgan Yu, a human trapped on a failing space station, overrun with hostile alien life. The player can customise the gender and appearance of Yu. Facing off against shadowy creatures that can change their forms, Yu must find a way to survive the experience or become prey to these creatures.
Honestly, it looks like a mix of Dead Space and Half-Life. While the game is an FPS, it contains other elements to make it unique. For example, one of the games main weapons, the Gloo Gun, can both freeze enemies and build up terrain to help you navigate the ship. On top of this, you also have a progression system not unlike a skill tree, and special abilities. The abilities seem to rely on collecting resources within the environment. For example, you can break down matter in order to turn Yu into different objects. I was shown shown clips of the player becoming a copy of a grenade in order to navigate the level and explode enemies.
The entire concept seems quite interesting. I’d say Prey is definitely one to look out for if you’re a fan of FPS or horror games.

NEF Rejects Tax Reform Bill, Labels It a Threat to National Unity
The Northern Elders Forum (NEF) rejects the Tax Reform Bill, calling it a threat to Nigeria’s unity. Learn why NEF opposes the bill and urges vigilance from Northern leaders and citizens.
The Northern Elders Forum (NEF) has strongly opposed the Tax Reform Bill, describing it as a policy conceived in bad faith that threatens national cohesion.
In a communiqué issued after its Board of Trustees meeting on Saturday, Professor Ango Abdullahi, the group’s Convener, criticized the bill’s implementation process, arguing that it excluded key stakeholders, including the National Economic Council (NEC). NEF warned that such “dubious policies” could undermine the North’s economic potential and praised the Northern States Governors’ Forum and the Northern Nigeria Council of Traditional Rulers for their opposition to the bill.
The forum commended the stance of these Northern institutions as “patriotic” and urged Northern politicians in the National Assembly to speak out. According to NEF, the bill, in its current form, is “poorly packaged” and represents a direct threat to Nigeria’s unity and cohesion.
The communiqué highlighted the exclusion of critical inputs, stating, “The brazen and suspicious manner in which the Tax Reform Bill was imposed, bypassing the National Economic Council, exposes the sinister intentions behind the bill.”
NEF also condemned the perceived silence of many elected Northern politicians on the issue, warning that the era of passive acceptance of policies detrimental to the region’s interests is over. The forum urged Northerners to remain vigilant in protecting their rights, especially during elections, and cautioned against manipulation by leaders with questionable intentions.

Bitcoin outflows have shown a spike amounting to 30k BTC today, leading to a plunge in the all exchanges reserve.
Bitcoin Netflow Shows Deep Negative Spike As 30k BTC Exits Exchanges
As pointed out by an analyst in a CryptoQuant post, the BTC exchange netflow showed a large negative spike earlier today.
The “outflow” is a measure of the total amount of Bitcoin exiting wallets of all exchanges. Similarly, the number of coins being deposited to exchanges is the “inflow.”
The difference between the inflow and the outflow is called the netflow. This indicator tells us the net amount of coins moving into or out of exchanges.
When the value of this indicator is negative, it means outflows are currently overwhelming the inflows and a net amount of Bitcoin is exiting exchanges. Such a trend, when prolonged, can be bullish for the price of the crypto as it may be a sign of accumulation.

On the other hand, a positive netflow shows that a net amount of coins are entering exchange wallets at the moment. Since investors usually deposit to exchanges for selling purposes, this trend can be bearish for the coin.
Now, here is a chart that shows the trend in the Bitcoin netflow over the past couple of weeks:
Looks like the indicator showed a large downward spike recently | Source: CryptoQuant
As you can see in the above graph, the Bitcoin netflow had a huge negative spike earlier today. This amounted to an outflow of more than 30k BTC, or over $1.2 billion.
Such a large amount of coins exiting exchanges has made the exchange reserve (a metric that measures the total number of BTC present on exchanges) plunge down:
The indicator’s value seems to have plummeted today | Source: CryptoQuant
If this outflow belongs to one or more whale entities withdrawing their Bitcoin for hodling in cold wallets, then it can be quite bullish for the price of the crypto as it has significantly reduced its sell supply (that is, the reserve).

However, as the quant notes, it’s yet unclear at the moment what this negative netflow may signify. It’s possible it could be just an internal transfer within the exchange wallets. And if so, it shouldn’t have any positive effect on the price.
At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s price floats around $40k, down 3% in the last seven days. Over the past month, the crypto has lost 6% in value.
The below chart shows the trend in the price of the coin over the last five days.

The Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency, NIMASA, has dismissed speculations that the deal it entered with Global West Vessels Specialists Limited, allegedly belonging to former Niger-Delta war-lord, Government Ekpemupolo alias Tompolo, has been voided.
It also denied that the deal encroached on the constitutional duties of the Nigerian Navy to protect the nation’s maritime coast.
The Director-General of NIMASA, Mr. Haruna Jauro, stated this on Tuesday during a courtesy visit to the Chief of Naval Staff (CNS), Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas, at Naval Headquarters, Abuja.
Jauro, while fielding questions from journalists, insisted that the agreement between the NIMASA and Global West did not overlap the statutory responsibilities of the Nigerian Navy.
He said: “It does not. Yes, it does not because the Navy is one of its kind and no one is willing to go there and take anything from them.
“What Global West is doing is just to help NIMASA to look at the issue of that takes place in the waters, to push them back and I think we have done our best with them. So far the level of piracy has reduced in the Lagos area.
“We don’t have much reports of them again and they have been pushed towards the Delta area and we have been following them. And I think Global West has been instrumental to that so far. It (the contract) is supposed to be for ten years. It has run for three years”.
Speaking further, Jauro said the firm, which was mandated to provide platform to NIMASA to fight the scourge of piracy in the nation’s territorial waters, “have been able to reduce drastically, the scourge of piracy in the Lagos area”.

The government aims to grab as much as US$30
he government aims to grab as much as US$30.07 billion of direct investment commitments from China this year, an increase of over 30 percent from 2015, as it aggressively approaches potential investors from the Asian powerhouse.
Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM) chief Franky Sibarani said on Monday that Chinese direct investment to the country had been on the rise and that his office aimed to net a lot more in years ahead.
'We aim to get $30.07 billion in direct investment commitments from China this year,' he said.
China, the world's second largest economy, has placed Indonesia as its second largest investment destination, after the US.
Chinese outward investments during the 2010-2015 period hit $219.9 billion, with around $23 billion going to Indonesia, according to data from the Financial Times.
The figure excluded investments in financial and oil upstream industries.
Franky said his office aimed to reap $30.07 billion in investment commitments from China this year, 32.5 percent up from $22.7 billion last year.
In a bid to achieve the target, the BKPM visited three major cities in China between January and March this year to directly approach potential investors. The office successfully secured around $10.8 billion worth of investment commitments from Shanghai, Beijing and Huzhou.
Franky said China's 10 largest provinces by gross domestic product, namely Guangdong, Jiangsu, Shandong, Zhejiang, Henan, Hebei, Liaoning, Sichuan, Hubei and Hunan, were listed as the main targets for new investments in the country.
'However, we'll also handle investment commitments from other provinces that are also economically active and approach us,' he said.
Most Chinese investments in Indonesia are poured into the metals, building materials, renewable energy, rubber and electronic components industries.
Franky said that while an exact calculation on the ratio between commitment and realized investments was not available, he was confident that Chinese realized investment would be on the rise this year, particularly with the establishment of a China desk at his office, which is set to launch on April 1.
The desk, which will employ Chinese-speaking staff including two to three Chinese Embassy employees, is expected to help Chinese investors in dealing with issues such as slow responses to land inquiries and language barriers.
In addition, BKPM deregulation director Yusliot said the BKPM had also made progress on improving the country's ranking in the World Bank's Ease of Doing Business (EODB) survey by revising a number of regulations.
'We've so far completed 26 out of 37 regulations needed to improve our ease of doing business,' he said.
Yusliot said his office expected that another 11 regulations would be completed by March or April.
Among the deregulation measures that have been carried out are slashing procedures to start businesses from 13 to three steps and cutting the application period to obtain construction permits from 201 days to 25.
President Joko 'Jokowi' Widodo has set an ambitious target for his administration to move from 109th position in the up the EODB 2016 survey to 40th in 2017.

Even if you perform all the necessary precautions and measures to keep your home clean, pests can still find a way to enter your home and bother you and the entire household. Pests are not just bothersome but they can also create a huge embarrassment especially when visitors and guests are around. What's more, pests can cause myriads of illnesses and diseases.

The Medical Sanctuary Holistic Medical Centre
The dandelion (Taraxacum officinale) is a common garden herb, with easily recognized flowers. It is commonly referred to as the enemy of the suburban lawn. However it is
not well known that it happens to be a very nutritious food and has been used for medicinal purposes since the 10th century. The leaves contain substantial levels of vitamins A, C, D, and B complex as well as iron, magnesium, zinc potassium, manganese, copper, chlorine, calcium, boron, and silicon. The substances eudesmanolide and germacranolide are the active constituents in dandelion and are unique to this plant.
Most people don’t realize that the common dandelion is a very powerful detoxification agent. It has been used for generations to treat liver and kidney ailments of all sorts. Its detoxification power has also been used to treat respiratory problems, cure gastro-intestinal ailments and cleanse the circulatory system.
As a detoxification agent, the root of the dandelion herb is considered to be one of the most effective and beneficial herbal remedies. The waste products accumulated in the liver and the gall bladder are removed by this herbal remedy. The kidneys are also stimulated by the dandelion at the same time and it enables the rapid removal of toxins through the urine produced. The herbal remedies made from the leaves of the dandelion are used as a diuretic; it is also used in the treatment of high blood pressure which it accomplishes by reducing the total volume of fluid present in the body at any time.
The word dandelion literally means “lion’s tooth” because of the jagged shape of the leaves. The French figured out the medicinal and detoxification value of dandelions a long time ago. Their name for dandelion is “pissenlit” which translates in English to, “piss in bed”. The name is said to derive from the fact that dandelions very quickly cleanse and accelerate the urinary system. It is not uncommon to hear reports of children playing in a field of dandelions then wetting the bed later that night…..The dandelions did it!
The root of the dandelion is known to be a remarkably well balanced herbal remedy, the steady and gradual elimination of toxins accumulating in the body due to infection or pollution is accelerated by the root of the dandelion.. The dandelion possesses major and effective therapeutic benefits, in the treatment of a variety of conditions these include the treatment of persistent constipation, the treatment of various types of skin problems, including acne, and eczema, and diseases like psoriasis. The root also treats other types of arthritic conditions, including severe conditions such as osteoarthritis, and disorders like gout.
All parts are eatable but generally only the flower and leaves are consumed. The leaves can be used in a salad and one can eat them that way. Or put a colander full of dandelion leaves in a juicer along with an apple and make apple-dandelion juice. If you are using freshly picked dandelion make sure the dandelions you collect have not been treated with pesticides or weed killer. A fine herbal wine can be produced from the dandelion, as too can a great herbal beer. Most commonly however the dried herb is an excellent substitute for coffee and tea bag can be purchased in most well stocked supermarkets.

For Leah & Ellie, I was hired as their Toastmaster. However due to circumstances it had required them to require a celebrant instead of a registrar.
Sian was our celebrant for our marriage in Aug 2019 and we have no words to explain how wonderful she was.
Our service was perfect and Sian really took the time to understand what we wanted and helped us figure out how best to structure the service in a way that felt personal and authentic for us.
It was so wonderful to have such a personal feel to the occasion, and having met with Sian in person and also video conferences in the build up to the day, it really felt like we were being married by a friend.
I cannot recommend Sian highly enough, Our day was perfect and she played such an important role in making it that way.
Sian was also our Master of ceremonies ( and so so much more) Sian took all of the stress out of arranging the day and gave up so much of her time to help us plan the wedding day from start to finish.
On the day of the wedding, despite crazy winds which required us to have a lot of last minute adjustments, everything went to plan. Sian kept everyone on track and I can honestly say that I did not give a second thought to the timings!
Sian was professional, considerate, kind and genuinely made it so we could relax and enjoy our day exactly the way we’d planned it.
I can’t imagine our day without Sian, and I would recommend her to anyone.
Thank you again so so so much.

WASHINGTON – A once-powerful Mexican drug cartel leader and associate of Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán Loera has been sentenced to life in a U.S. prison.
Alfredo Beltrán Leyva, 46, was sentenced Wednesday after pleading guilty in February to charges his multibillion-dollar operation smuggled tons of cocaine and methamphetamine into the United States. Beltrán Leyva led the organization from the 1990s to his indictment in 2014, as it shipped tons of cocaine from South America to the United States, prosecutors said.
Authorities called him a “Goliath” of drug trafficking. A judge ordered him to forfeit more than $529 million, based on what he described as a conservative estimate of the amount of cocaine Beltrán Leyva brought into the United States.
Beltrán Leyva led a “campaign of violence and fear that gripped communities across North America,” acting Assistant Attorney General Kenneth A. Blanco said.
Mexican drug kingpin Alfredo Beltran Leyva sentenced to life in prison. https://t.co/JaS4rez0rU
— USA TODAY (@USATODAY) April 5, 2017
The organization relied on killings, torture, kidnappings and other violence to sustain its drug trafficking operation, prosecutors said. FBI Assistant Director Stephen Richardson said the life sentence marks an end to the group’s “reign of terror.”
The once-powerful Beltrán Leyva cartel was led by Alfredo and his brothers as it grew to prominence as an arm of Guzmán Loera’s Sinaloa Cartel. The Beltrán Leyva group smuggled drugs and ran human trafficking operations, along with enforcement operations for the larger Sinaloa organization.
That relationship soured, according to federal prosecutors, after Alfredo Beltrán Leyva’s 2008 arrest. His brothers blamed Sinaloa leaders for his arrest, and the split eventually led to a bloody fight among the two groups at the same time as the Sinaloa cartel was waging a war against the Juárez cartel for control of drug and human smuggling routes in northern Mexico.
The Beltrán Leyva gang started to split apart in late 2009, when one brother, Arturo, who took over for Alfredo, was shot dead by Mexican marines and another brother, Carlos, was detained two weeks later. Another brother, Hector, was arrested in San Miguel de Allende.
Guzmán Loera is awaiting prosecution in New York following his extradition from Mexico in January.

I would recommend TED talks to anyone and everyone—those with a love for learning, those who need help in their studies, and those who might be trying to understand why education is important—but I think that students, in particular, have much to learn about the world and themselves through the various teachings of TED. TED, which stands for technology, entertainment, and design, in its own words is "a nonprofit devoted to spreading ideas, usually in the form of short, powerful talks." Most, if not all, of their TED talks are available online, through platforms like Youtube, as well as their own website.
The first thing that TED can teach us is that the brain grows if you allow it to grow. While the basic principle of neuroplasticity has been understood for several decades, many still believe that they "can never understand" concepts like math or science. In Carol Dweck's talk, "The Power of believing that you can improve" she explains the difference between a "growth mindset" and a "fixed mindset" and how they can either excel your studies, or inhibit them, respectively.
While exercise maintains the health of your entire body, it is also one of the best ways you can strengthen your brain. In an eye-opening talk titled, "The brain-changing benefits of exercise," Wendy Suzuki illustrates the extensive benefits of exercise, as well as how it shapes and improves the brain.
3. Becoming a lifelong learner
While our academic strengths and limitations can be influenced by many factors, it's important to examine our material and the ways in which we understand it. Love him or hate him, John Green delivered an interesting TED talk on this topic, detailing the ways in which learning became easier and more enjoyable for him, in his talk, "Paper towns and why learning is awesome."
4. Finding motivation
You can spend your entire life studying, striving to pass each test, earn A's in every class, but the best understandings come from a true motivation to learn. In the talk, "Motivate yourself with visions, goals and willpower," Hugo Kehr explains the (surprisingly simple) model he uses to explain how we can better understand our goals and how to achieve them.
5. Achieving goals
After years of submitting assignment after assignment it can become easy to submit to the belief that you cannot achieve the goals you have set for yourself. Some seemingly counter-intuitive (and yet very helpful) advice is given by Reggie Rivers in his talk, "If you want to achieve your goals, don't focus on them." He explains how important it is to control your behavior on a small scale in order to reach goals on a larger scale.
6. Career choices
I think it's safe to say that we've all experienced stress about our future at some point, but Orla Donoghue argues that life isn't locked into place once you decide your major in her talk, "Career choices: they don't have to be decisions for life." She lists a series of questions that can help you better understand the path you hope to travel.
7. Changing careers
If you're still worried about how your life will progress after college, watch "How to Change Careers when You're Lost," by Felicia Ricci, where she offers some more reassurance about navigating the constantly changing workforce we're about to enter.
Something we often struggle with as students (and people) is happiness. Some of us are trying to find it again, some may be trying to discover it for the first time, and others are searching for ways to maintain it through the ups and downs of life. Even those who feel completely satisfied with their relationship with happiness can gain something by watching the TED talk, "The surprising science of happiness" by Dan Gilbert.
9. Social relationships
With all of the academic pressures of college, it can be easy to neglect other aspects of your life that are just as important (if not more so) in your happiness and health. Susan Pinker explains exactly how important social relationships are to your health and why this is, in her talk, "The secret to living longer may be your social life."
Last but not least, after a long day, week, or semester of studying, it might be difficult to rediscover what it means to relax and give yourself time to breathe. Relaxation is a technique we could all use some practice perfecting, and Bryan Russell explains how we can do just that in his TED talk, "How to Relax."

You're a writer, you're broke, and you're not as young as you used to be. Beauty fades, but failure does not.
Your circle of friends grows smaller by the day as more and more of them move on with their lives, further their careers, get married, or are otherwise preoccupied with their social circle, a circle which no longer involves you.
You hear from your folks once every three months when they call to check up on you. Your mother says she loves you but you suspect she thinks you're a disappointment. It's not what she says, but how she says it. Your father simply has nothing to say.
Depression and anxiety consume your existence. Nothing brings lasting joy anymore. Your diet is poor and you're losing your hair. Your skin's not as taunt, your girth has gotten wide, and no one's noticed you on Tinder for months. But who could blame them? Who could love what you've become? To be a writer was your dream, and you have nothing to show for all your efforts except half-written manuscripts and a dead-end job. You've lost faith in yourself and every birthday that you spend alone serves only to remind you of what little you've actually accomplished.
What horrors does the future hold?
"Please remember to follow me on Twitter."

When you go, I stay gone
I didn’t have the schematics for your leaving.
There was no plan. I searched for diagrams
in every circuit of sky, all the crumbs of stars.
As if your Earth would ever aid me. I slip through
space, with no one to consider my reality.
I want to know how I exist for you. I never understood
people selling their souls on TVs until now.
I don’t want to recover. I’m sorry
for penning you over again. All I know is to write
myself out of eclipsing: a servant to your sound, my oily sirens.
Most nights I cry for your second absence,
all the moments I’ll have to unstring myself from.
I practice speaking in future tense, rehearse
all the days I will be remaking.

Off to the Races Radio: Jerry Crawford featured
Off to the Races Radio presented by The Racing Biz returns April 16 as its 25th season rolls on.
The one-hour program will air each Saturday morning at 10:00 a.m. on ESPN Richmond (106.1 FM) and via livestreaming. It will feature news and conversation about Thoroughbred racing and breeding in Virginia, around the Mid-Atlantic, and across the nation.
- Laurel Park picks and ponderings: December 7, 2024We provide full-card picks and analysis for this afternoon’s races at Laurel Park.
Nick Hahn will host with support from Frank Vespe. Derby Bill Watson will join each week to provide his handicapping insights and special brand of humor.
“We’re thrilled to have Off to the Races back on the air,” said Frank Vespe, owner and publisher of The Racing Biz, which presents the program. “We’re looking forward to another season filled with great guests, good banter, and plenty of laughs.”
Saturday’s show will feature a visit from Jerry Crawford. Crawford’s group, Donegal Racing, owns and campaigns Mo Donegal. That runner is headed to Churchill Downs for the May 7 Kentucky Derby after his sharp score in the G2 Wood Memorial April 9, his second graded win.
Also on the show Saturday is Joanne Shankle. Shankle is the assistant trainer to Rodolfo Sanchez-Salomon. They will send out Shake Em Loose — a Preakness hopeful — in Saturday’s Federico Tesio Stakes at Laurel Park. A win there will put the onetime $16,000 claimer in the Middle Jewel.
Sponsors include the Virginia Thoroughbred Association, Virginia Equine Alliance, Maryland Jockey Club, Charles Town Races, and others.
“We appreciate our sponsors who support Off to the Races,” Vespe said. “And we especially appreciate all of our listeners.”
Each week’s show will be archived on TheRacingBiz.com.

An unofficial patch, but what can you do? If you love the look of Windows 11, with its rounded corners and new icons, then you can already bring it to one of your most used applications.
Steam, the gaming platform that is.
While software developers — Valve included, hopefully — are scrambling to update their UI elements to better align with the design philosophy of the upcoming operating system, the community is one step ahead of them when it comes to this.
Instead of waiting for Steam to match the design of Windows 11, developers have already cooked up an unofficial patch to give the gaming app a new look.
This brings the look that a lot of users are enjoying right now to Steam, illustrated below:
A Reddit user shared an image of the patch in action, which requires you to download the Metro for Steam skin and then swap some files around to achieve the new look. The skin itself has been around for a while now, upgrading the look of the gaming app to match the Metro design scheme.
The maker of the patch has a GitHub page up.
And to get started, you will need to download Metro for Steam 4.4 from the official website, as well as the Inter font from Google Fonts. Then follow the simple instructions and restart the Steam application when done.
There is even a community page up for this patch that you can glean for more details.

Amazon has knocked three big-brand air fryers down to half price - but you need to be quick
and on Freeview 262 or Freely 565
This article contains affiliate links. We may earn a small commission on items purchased through this article, but that does not affect our editorial judgement.
And in recent years more of us than ever are turning to air fryers. They save us time, money, and space in the kitchen. And they're a healthier way to whip up a family meal - so it's no surprise they're incredibly popular.
1. Tower Vortx T17024 Digital Air Fryer
It's also digital, which gives you better controls, presets, and a timer function.
You can have any colour you like as long as it's black, there are no other colour options at the moment, and more than 200 people have snapped up this deal in the last month, so be quick if you want to catch one before stocks run out.
2. Cosori Air Fryer Lite 3.8L
This 3.8-litre model has the smart features, which enable you to manage cooking and access recipes through your smartphone, and you might think this will ramp the price up. But not when there's a 50% off deal.
There's also an "ultra-efficient" two-litre model, but that only costs a penny less, so you might as well go for the bigger version.
3. Breville Halo Rotisserie Air Fryer
Just make sure you have space on your kitchen worktop, because these things are quite bulky.

Chris and Rachel
Life can definitely throw a few curve balls your way. Some you can see, but others you don't see coming at all! I would say this sums up the story of how we met, who we are together, and the future that awaits.
Our story began in 2004. As a Freshman and a Sophomore in high school, we were acquainted through a mutual friend on the school bus heading home one day. In that split moment, who knew that our lives would forever be changed? That was the start of a deep friendship that led into something more. We loved spending time together as often as we could, and both felt we could be our authentic, quirky selves at all times. We became a couple and thought for sure that our future was set to be together forever.
Little did we know that life would hold other plans for us after we graduated. I moved to California and Chris stayed in Texas. Even though we were young, we never wanted to hold each other back from the things we wanted to pursue in life. We stayed in touch over the years, but carried on our own paths. Through the years of personal challenges, loss of loved ones, mental, emotional, spiritual, physical obstacles and more, self-discoveries and breakthroughs were made through some of life's unforgiving ways. While working towards our own personal growth, we found healing in the years that were unkind. Unknowingly, we both were letting go of the control over our lives and surrendering that control to God, placing Him before us. And once again, little did we know we would end up back together, 13 years later.
Our roots and who we are to each other were always deep. However, life changed us in a profound way, bringing with it new trials and findings as we entered into a new season of our lives together. The way God works is truly divine, and as we have come to find, it is always in His perfect timing.
Having come back together, we talked more about our hopes and dreams for a future and what that would all entail. Both of our hearts have always been planted on helping and serving others. The hardships of life are real, but the love for life and all it has to offer is real too. We both envisioned a future where we build a team of healers that will allow us to step into creating a wellness center for people in all walks of life to be cared for.
In our personal journeys that led us back together, creating Steps to Health is a way for us to be able to give back, serve others, instill hope, and to be encouragers. Our roles are to walk alongside you and meet you where are. Our goals are to help you find the internal resources you possess by developing or sharpening the tools you seek, so you can get to where you want to go in life, relationships, health and overall wellness.

So my factoring company just notified me of a broker (SEL) that is going out of business and still has not paid us for the load we pulled (Going on 38 days). I have tried reaching out to the broker but all there numbers are no longer in service. This is the first time I've dealt with a situation like this and my question is, how does one even go about filing a claim against the broker and is it even worth it? The load was for $3800 so it's not a small blow to take as a small company. Also the broker was approved through our factoring company when I did a credit check but we are still getting hit with the recourse if they do not pay in the coming days. Any advice would be appreciated or am I just #### out of luck on this? Thanks!
Broker going out of business
Page 1 of 7
You won't get the full invoice paid because their piddly nearly worthless 75k bond will have to be spread out evenly to every carrier that files a claim.
Go to Safer. Look up the broker by their MC. Click the Insurance link. Get the policy number and call the insurance company listed. Follow their claims protocol.
Then sit back and wait for whatever they give you.
What's the point in factoring if you have to do all this work? -
Are all factoring companies like this? If so, maybe I better start one - sounds like a clear winner for a business model. -
When you do spot market working with tons of random brokers, factoring can help you out a lot by not getting burned.
For example DAT load board shows credit worthiness of a broker, tons of double brokers show good credit score, yet some old legit brokerages do not, so a lot of people avoid booking with them, yet your factoring can approve it and you can book some great paying loads. -

This story about “The Sea Beast” first appeared in the Awards Preview issue of TheWrap awards magazine.
“The Sea Beast,” the latest feature from director Chris Williams (“Big Hero 6,” “Moana”) and his first for Netflix, is a rollicking throwback to the kind of old-school adventure movies that Williams grew up with: 1976’s “King Kong,” “Raiders of the Lost Ark,” “Clash of the Titans,” and of course, “Star Wars.” It is set in a mythical land with deep ties to the ocean — a place where monster-hunting isn’t just encouraged, it’s sponsored by the kingdom. And it’s where one monster hunter named Jacob (voiced by Karl Urban) forms an unlikely friendship with a young girl (Zaris-Angel Hator) and learns that the creatures aren’t just killing machines.
No sequence establishes the world — and the stakes — like the opening high seas monster hunt.
“I’m a big fan of well-executed action and will always be an advocate for it,” Williams said. “When we embarked to make this this big action-adventure story, I knew I wanted to make a splash with the opening scene, and through it, get to know our characters and get to know how the ship works and how sea monster hunting works.”
But more than just a technical understanding of how the world of “The Sea Beast” operates, Williams knew he had to embed the emotional and thematic stakes of the world too. “I knew that people were going to, on some level, have conflicting feelings about what they were witnessing, because you can’t help it. They’re monsters, but at the same time they come across like large sea mammals and we can’t help but equate it to whaling. And I knew that that was going to be an issue. We were going to try, as much as possible, to swing our sympathies towards the hunters — to make the monsters seemingly the aggressor, to celebrate the heroism of the hunters and see them as rescuers.”
That moral nebulousness was something that Williams wanted to lean into rather than shy away from. “I knew our sympathies would be divided at least somewhat,” he said. “But I didn’t mind that. And I think that sometimes in movies these days, there’s a sense that the audience needs to feel one thing and only one thing at any given moment. When I think about movies that I loved, and most were made in the ’70s, those movies invited you to feel conflicted when you’re watching.” Williams cites “The Godfather” as a major influence. “Those conflicted feelings can be a source of energy, and I’m not afraid of that,” he said.
As for the staging of the sequence, Williams and his crew found themselves asking a series of questions: “Can it be more fun? Can it be more thrilling? Can it seem more dangerous? Are there more opportunities for character?” Williams wanted to stay away from too much cutting and to emulate the feeling of the “Mission: Impossible” movies, where you know Tom Cruise is doing those stunts. His guiding principle? “Just always: never settling.”

The recent reform of the Political Constitution of the state of Quintana Roo, would be actually taking territory away from the state of Yucatan.
This situation would revive the famous (or infamous) borderline conflict that has involved the three states of the Yucatan Peninsula for decades. A few days ago, the State Congress announced that the neighboring state approved changes to its Carta Magna, this fact was reported on April 26 to the State Executive so that it could initiate with the corresponding legal actions.
The president of the Board of Directors of Quintana Roo’s State Legislative Branch, Enrique Castillo Ruz, declared that with this reform the territory of the municipalities of Tekax, Peto and Chemax, in the south of the Yucatan state, could be affected. He added that the Legislature will analyze the case from the scope of its attributions, however, it is up to the Executive to exercise its leadership and, based on this, be able to take the decisions it considers.
Meanwhile, the head of the General Secretariat of Government of the State of Yucatan, María Fritz Sierra, stated that this is a technical and legal situation that needs to be attentively analyzed in order to determine what legal scope has this constitutional reform and how it could affect Yucatan.

Former MP for Dungannon
MPs have many roles, but one of the most important is that they make decisions. These decisions shape the laws that govern us, and can affect every aspect of how we live our lives. One of the ways MPs make decisions is by voting.
On TheyWorkForYou, we create voting summaries that group a set of decisions together, show how an MP has generally voted on a set of related votes, and if they differ from their party.
You can see these groups, randomly ordered, below.
These summaries are created by the team at TheyWorkForYou. We are independent of Parliament and receive no public funding for this work.
If you want to support and help us improve these summaries, please consider donating.
This person has not voted on any of the key issues which we keep track of.
All MPs could vote remotely through an online voting tool. Votes cast remotely are shown as normal on the TheyWorkForYou voting record.
The option of online voting was removed, and a number of MPs may have been unable to vote because they were not physically able to attend.
The requirements on proxy voting were relaxed, allowing MPs to designate another MP to cast a vote on their behalf.
If an MP votes by proxy, it is effectively exactly the same as if they cast the vote in person and it shows up on their TheyWorkForYou voting record.
MPs are not required to designate a proxy, and may instead pair with an opposing MP to miss a vote. Parliament does not record when two MPs have come to a pairing arrangement, so on TheyWorkForYou, they will both appear to have been absent for the vote.

The Town of Three Hills has partnered with the Town of Trochu, a Designated Community, on the Rural Renewal Stream Program. This program was released by the Alberta Government in 2022 to support the attraction and retention of newcomers to rural Alberta communities.
The first step of the Rural Renewal Stream program is for Employers in the Town of Three Hills to identify the labour shortage and complete a program eligibility requirement. If an Employer meets the program criteria, they can begin the process.
- Complete the Rural Renewal Employer Application Form.
- Submit the completed form with a letter of support from another established business operating in the Town of Three Hills to firstname.lastname@example.org or in person to the Town Office.
- We will review the submitted Rural Renewal Employer Application and letter of support, and if all requirements are met and we are satisfied that the Employer can support a candidate(s), the Town of Three Hills will issue a letter of support.
- The Rural Renewal Employer Application and letter of support from the Town of Three Hills will then be sent to the Trochu Rural Renewal Committee for further review and consideration.
- A representative from the applying business must attend the committee meeting either in person or via Zoom. The Trochu Committee meets on the last Thursday of every month.
- The Employer will either be approved or denied by the Trochu Committee and if approved, will be eligible to proceed with candidate applications.
- Once the Employer has been approved by the Trochu Committee, complete the Rural Renewal Stream Candidate Application Form and submit to email@example.com or in person to the Town Office.
- The Town of Three Hills will host a Committee meeting to review the Candidate Application and, if satisfied, will provide a letter of support for the Candidate.
- The Rural Renewal Candidate Application and letter of support from the Town of Three Hills will be sent to the Trochu Committee for final review.
- The Trochu Committee will review the Rural Renewal Candidate Application and letter of support and will approve or deny the Candidate.
- If the Candidate is approved, the Trochu Committee will provide the Employer with a Community Support Letter for the Rural Renewal Stream.
How long will the process take?
Employer and Candidate approvals can take one to two months depending on when applications are received and when the Trochu Committee meets (last Thursday of every month). Employers will receive information and updates throughout the process as they are available.
Does an Employer require a Town of Three Hills Business Licence?
Yes, a Town of Three Hills Business Licence is required. All businesses must be established within the community and meet the Government of Alberta requirements.
Is there a maximum number of candidates that an Employer can support?

Does the Town of Three Hills assist Candidates with job applications and job searching?
No, all Candidate applications and hiring must be completed through eligible Employers.

Pennsylvania challenge of Elon Musk’s $1M-a-day voter sweepstakes moves to federal court
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A Pennsylvania prosecutor’s effort to shut down Elon Musk’s $1 million-a-day voter sweepstakes moved to federal court on Thursday after a state judge let both sides debate their grievances in a hearing skipped by the world’s richest man.
Judge Angelo Foglietta agreed that Musk, as a named defendant in the lawsuit filed by District Attorney Larry Krasner, should have attended the hearing in person, but he declined to immediately sanction the tech mogul.
Musk’s lawyer, Matthew Haverstick, said he’s an extremely busy man who could not simply “materialize” in the courtroom hours after the hearing was scheduled. Krasner’s team challenged the notion that the founder of SpaceX could not make it Philadelphia, prompting a quick retort from the judge.
“Counsel, he’s not going to get in a rocket ship and land on the building,” Foglietta replied.
The huge giveaways to registered voters come from Musk’s political organization, which aims to boost Donald Trump’s presidential campaign.
After his lawyers argued that claims of federal election interference are involved, Foglietta put the state case on hold pending a decision in federal court, where the case was assigned to U.S. District Judge Gerald J. Pappert, a Republican former Pennsylvania attorney general appointed to the federal bench by President Barack Obama. No hearings there were immediately scheduled.
Krasner, a Democrat, wants the case decided in state court in Democrat-led Philadelphia, where his lawsuit filed Monday accused Musk and his PAC of running a dubious lottery in the tense run-up to Tuesday’s election.
Krasner’s lawyers noted that four of the first dozen winners appeared to be from Pennsylvania, perhaps the key prize in the tight presidential race between Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris.
“Is it just a coincidence that this is the state that has the largest electoral votes? I don’t think so,” lawyer John Summers argued.
Posts by Musk’s America PAC on X, the social media platform he purchased, indicate he’s given away 13 checks of $1 million since the first one in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, on Oct. 19. Other winners came from the battleground states of Wisconsin, Nevada, Arizona, Georgia, North Carolina and Michigan.
Krasner’s lawyers noted that Musk and the America PAC had “brazenly” continued the lottery every day this week, including Thursday morning, despite Krasner’s legal bid to shut it down. The sweepstakes is set to run through Election Day, open to people in too-close-to-call states who can show that they’re registered to vote and sign a petition supporting the Constitution.
“They’re doing things in the dark,” Summers told the judge. “We don’t know the rules being followed. We don’t know how they’re supposedly picking people at random … It’s an outrage.”
Election law experts have raised questions about whether it violates federal law barring someone from paying others to vote. Musk has cast the money as both a prize as well as earnings for work as a spokesperson for the group.
Krasner has said he could still consider criminal charges, as he’s tasked with protecting both lotteries and the integrity of elections. In the lawsuit, he said the defendants are “indisputably violating” Pennsylvania’s lottery laws.
Both Trump and Kamala Harris have made repeated visits to the state as they fight for Pennsylvania’s 19 electoral votes.
Musk, who also owns Tesla and X, has gone all in on Trump this election, saying he thinks civilization is at stake. He is undertaking much of the get-out-the-vote effort for Trump through his super PAC, which can raise and spend unlimited sums of money.

This week we’re talking about all things moringa in order to spread more awareness about its impressive potential. It has been one of Tipson Tea's favorite herbs for years now and it was the perfect addition to our range of organic herbal infusions.
Did you know that it is actually considered a “superfood?” This powerful green leafy vegetable grows naturally from Asia down through Africa where they use many different parts of these plants including leaves, roots or flowers, and even seeds which are used for flavorings or beverages such as tea. We know that this amazing plant can do wonders, so let us share some interesting information with you.
Moringa is a tree that has many different names and nicknames, such as the drumstick tree or benzolive. What makes it so special? Moringa can be described as an all-around superfood because not only does this miracle plant have anti-inflammatory properties but also neuroprotective benefits for your brain health!
Due to its rich nutrient content, Moringa has been in use for over 3,000 years as a traditional remedy. Moringa was first mentioned by Indian scholars around the 2nd century AD when they called it "the never-fading tree." Since ancient times people have relied on moringa for its ability not only to offer nutritional benefits but also because of its multiple uses: you can eat the leaves raw; make tea out of them; and apply crushed leaves topically. It is also known to strengthen the immune system and fight off many common illnesses like cancer and diabetes. Moringa's versatility allows it to be used both internally or externally, making this an extremely versatile plant that can ease your life on every level from health to beauty care needs - all with natural ingredients!
Health Benefits of Moringa
Antioxidants for free radical damage
We’re all aware of the damage free radicals cause to our bodies. Neglecting the oxidative stress caused by these free radicals can lead to chronic diseases like heart disease, type II diabetes, dementia and arthritis. The Vitamin C and Beta-Carotene content in Moringa help fight against any potential damages caused by these pesky little things called “free radicals."
Stronger bones for a stronger you
When it comes to our bones, they're what makes us strong. Strong muscles without good supporting bone structure just don't cut the mustard! That's why Moringa is such a great source of Calcium and Phosphorus; both are essential for healthy bones. So drink up or take some supplements if you like, but make sure your body has enough calcium so that when life throws its inevitable curveballs like menopause at you, your powerful skeleton can handle anything!
Detoxification for a cleaner system
Moringa is a plant that has many health benefits. One of the reasons it's called "the natural detox" is because studies have shown how effective its leaves are at removing toxins from your body! Living in an environment filled with pollution often means we're consuming unhealthy food and breathing polluted air- both invitations for harmful things to enter our bodies. Moringa can help cleanse us internally by getting rid of those unwanted substances like lead or mercury which accumulate over time, leading to illnesses such as cancer if left untreated.
No more bad hair days
Moringa leaves will leave your hair looking and feeling amazing! The high antioxidant content from the Moringa leaves strengthens follicles which in turn reduces breakage. They also reduce dandruff- another rising problem. You can promise yourself bouncy, silky soft locks with this natural treatment.
The health benefits that come from this plant are astounding. As we discussed before, there really isn't anything that moringa can't do for us in terms of our overall wellness and vitality; it's one-stop shopping at its finest when you're looking for an all-natural supplement without any side effects or nasty additives.
