Многих интересует вопрос: «Что делать, чтобы сбросить лишний вес?». Ответ однозначный – диета и физические нагрузки
Многие мужчины считают, что выступающий и пухлый живот, в сочетании с двойным подбородком, вовсе не недостаток, а признак зрелости и стабильных семейных уз. Но разве, глядя на стройных ровесников, не хотелось бы последовать их примеру? Кроме того, большинство женщин считает большой живот и двойной подбородок непривлекательными.
Если ты, хотя бы в глубине души, тоже так думаешь и хочешь перемен, тогда читай наши полезные советы и будешь выглядеть не хуже, чем Бен Аффлек в свои 44 года.
Хотим заметить, что рациональное и правильное питание целесообразно не только для поддержания хорошей физической формы, но и для профилактики заболеваний сердца и сосудов.
Основные ошибки в питании
1. Есть больше, чем необходимо. Не нужно продолжать кушать, когда уже чувствуется насыщение, но еда на столе еще осталась. Такая особенность заимствована у наших предков, которые наедались досыта, не зная, когда придется обедать следующий раз. Также часто такая привычка произрастает с детства, когда мальчиков поучают: много кушай – будешь сильным и большим.
2. Большое количество «тяжелой» пищи. Многие мужчины считают, что брокколи и рыба на пару – еда для слабаков, отдавая предпочтение пельменям, салу, жирному мясу, белому хлебу с майонезом и всему тому, что калорийное и быстро насыщает. Конечно, калории нужны, но не в таком количестве.
3. Перекусы перед компьютером (телевизором). Часто они превращаются в полноценный прием пищи, в то время как мужчина считает, что такая еда лишь на один зубок. Опасность кроется в том, что перекусывая под ТВ или компьютер, теряется чувство меры.
4. Калории в виде алкоголя. Безвредное на первый взгляд пиво (даже бутылочка после трудового дня) пробуждает аппетит и снижает чувство сытости. Да и калории, которые попали в организм с алкоголем, бесследно не улетучиваются, особенно в сочетании с сахаром, который содержат сладкие напитки (соки, лимонады и т. д.). Из-за этого, как правило, ухудшается метаболизм, а организм обезвоживается.
5. Спорт уберет последствия неправильного питания. Наивно думать, что занятия спортом дадут желаемый результат, если до и после них продолжать неправильно питаться. Этот факт был подтвержден исследованием. Если систематически посещать спортзал, безусловно, улучшится кровообращение, но вот лишний вес не уйдет. Нужна комплексная программа: диета + спорт.
У тебя растет живот, но никто в нем не живет?
А точнее живут и в избытке: холестерин, белки, жиры и углеводы, которые прочно осели и не желают покидать организм просто так.
Есть три основные причины, из-за которых появляется большой живот:
1. Малоподвижный образ жизни. Большую часть времени мужчина мигрирует между офисным креслом, сидением автомобиля и диваном (косые мышцы живота становятся слабее).
2. Изменение гормонального фона. Так может произойти с возрастом или после стрессовых ситуаций (оседают жиры на бедрах и животе).
3. Нерациональное питание. К этому пункту относятся: переедание, вредная еда и калорийные напитки (в целом ухудшается физическая форма).
Оседание жира в организме не только не дает никаких плюсов, но и является признаком предрасположенности к таким заболеваниям, как диабет и гипертония.
Эксперты сделали подсчет: если при росте 170 см объем талии составляет 94 см, то риск появления заболеваний средний. Когда объем талии достигает или превышает 101 см, то риск становится высоким.
Многих интересует вопрос: «Что делать, чтобы сбросить лишний вес?». Ответ однозначный – диета и физические нагрузки. Кроме того, продукты должны быть не просто полезными для заданной цели. В них должен содержаться магний и цинк для продуктивного образования тестостерона и поддержки сердечно-сосудистой системы.
Продукты, содержащие цинк:
— рыба и другие дары моря;
— семечки (подсолнечные и тыквенные);
— кунжут;
— чечевица;
— вареная говядина;
— какао;
— ячмень и овес;
— ягоды в свежем виде, особенно черника и малина.
Продукты, содержащие магний:
— сухофрукты;
— какао;
— гречневая каша;
— хлеб цельнозерновой;
— мука из сои;
— фасоль.
Строгие диеты не для мужчин?
Многие мужчины считают, что строгая диета не для них. Она раздражает однообразием и необходимостью контролировать себя. Однако вовсе нет необходимости каждый раз четко по времени, например, на завтрак есть только гречневую кашу. Разнообразие рациона, состоящего из полезной пищи – приветствуется. Поэтому ты можешь делать по своему желанию разные комбинации из еды. Кроме того, количество приемов пищи такое же, как и в обычном режиме у большинства людей – 3 раза в день.
Варианты полезного завтрака
Большинство диетологов обосновано считает, что завтрак – это единственный вариант приема пищи, когда моно съесть больше обычной порции. Также пойдет на пользу, если мужчина завтракает за семейным столом. Жена сможет контролировать количество и качество еды.
Было замечено, что у мужчин, завтракающих дома, реже наблюдается избыточный вес по сравнению с теми, кто предпочитает завтрак в кафе по дороге на работу или фаст-фуд.
Полезный завтрак – верный путь к улучшению физической формы и здоровья. Предлагаем его варианты:
1) тост из цельнозернового хлеба со спредом (смесь из растительного и сливочного масла) либо творогом с добавлением зелени;
2) овсяная каша с обезжиренным молоком и свежими ягодами или фруктами;
3) воздушный омлет с овощами (жарить нужно на тефлоновой сковородке, добавив не более 1 чайной ложки оливкового масла);
4) тост с помидорами, авокадо и тонко нарезанным беконом;
5) 2 вареных яйца и цельнозерновой хлеб.
Также на завтрак можно употребить овощной смузи, например, из моркови, брокколи и сельдерея.
Дополнить завтрак можно фрешем или чаем, лучше зеленым. Но если есть желание выпить кофе, сделай это после завтрака.
Питание в течение дня
Днем лучше всего поесть суп. Он не только насыщает без перегруза калориями, но и полезный для желудка. После супа можно подкрепиться рагу с овощами и нежирным мясом, а также овощным салатом. Пищу не нужно запивать, чтобы не осложнять пищеварение, так как жидкость снижает консистенцию желудочного сока. Пить рекомендуется спустя 30 минут после еды.
Ужинать следует не позже, чем за 2 – 3 часа до сна. В вечерний прием пищи может входить белковая, но нежирная еда, а также овощной салат. В качестве белков подойдет нежирное мясо, сыр тофу, рыба и другие дары моря.
Что можно, а что нельзя в диетическом рационе
Чтобы обмен веществ был полноценным, нужно ежедневно пить обычную воду. Рекомендуемая норма – 2-2,5 л каждый день. Чтобы продуктивно вырабатывался тестостерон, а сердце и сосуды функционировали без нарушений, нужен белок, кальций, а также витамины: А, В, С, D, E. В связи с этим полностью ограничивать себя в мясе нельзя. Важно, чтобы оно было нежирное.
Следует отказаться от полуфабрикатов, фастфуда и соусов из магазинов, потому что в них повышенное количество натрия и сахара. Не подойдет для диеты и еда, сделанная во фритюре. Зато можно лакомиться пищей, приготовленной на гриле.

Joaquin Phoenix’s wife Rooney Mara blushed as he fixed her dress on the red carpet at Academy Museum Gala in LA on Saturday.
For the star-studded affair located at the Academy Museum of
Motion Pictures, Rooney, 39, joined her dashing husband Joaquin, 49.
The couple — who ‘secretly wed’ recently — looked happier than ever as they posed for sweet snaps on the carpet.
Rooney looked out of this world as she slipped into a floral sheer dress and
flashed her underwear underneath.
The glitzy gala had no shortage of A-list star power as they were also joined by
the likes of supermodel Kendall Jenner as well as fan-favorite actress and
newly minted billionaire Selena Gomez.
Joaquin Phoenix’s, 49, wife Rooney Mara, 39, blushed as he fixed her dress on the
red carpet at Academy Museum Gala in LA on Saturday
Rooney and Joaquin shared a sweet red carpet
moment
Joaquin just confirmed Rooney (born Patricia) was his ‘wife’ during an episode of Sam Fragaso’s podcast Talk Easy, last month.
Mara welcomed their second child in June, and
she dressed her post-baby body gorgeous sheer gown.
Phoenix (born Bottom) and the two-time Oscar nominee are also parents of four-year-old son River Mara Phoenix named after Joaquin’s big brother who died, age 23,
from an overdose of morphine and cocaine on Halloween 1993.
‘I love it. I love it so much. I think it’s the best thing in the world,’ Rooney gushed
of motherhood on the LaunchLeft Podcast last year.
‘It doesn’t feel like a two-actor house because I didn’t
work for the first three and a half years we were together.
Basically since we’ve been together, I only worked one or two times and one was really
small and short. It feels like a creative household, we’re constantly talking about creative things.’
The Phoenixes originally met in 2012 playing lovers Theodore
Twombly and Catherine Klausen on the LA set of Spike Jonze’s AI rom-com Her, but they didn’t
start dating until after her 2016 split from her Discovery director Charlie McDowell.
The acting couple went on to co-star in Garth Davis’ 2018 Biblical
drama Mary Magdalene and Gus Van Sant’s 2018 comedy Don’t Worry, He Won’t Get Far on Foot.

Medicine and Jonah Hill’s 2022 therapy documentary Stutz.
Mara told Deadline in February that she and Phoenix (born Bottom) are still ‘all committed to’ co-starring in Pawel
Pawlikowski’s upcoming film The Island but ‘it doesn’t look like that will happen this year.’
But first, audiences can catch the New York native as waitress Julia in Alonso Ruizpalacios’
Times Square kitchen drama La Cocina, which hits limited US theaters October
25 and UK theaters December 26.
Meanwhile, the Grammy winner scored a $20M paycheck to
reprise his Oscar-winning role as psychopathic comedian Arthur Fleck/Joker
in Todd Phillips’ $190M-budget sequel Joker: Folie à Deux, which hits US/UK theaters this Friday.
Deadline projected the 138-minute demented jukebox musical to earn $140M worldwide opening weekend including $55M-$60M at 4K US theaters.
It also features Lady Gaga, Zazie Beetz, Brendan Gleeson, Catherine Keener, Jacob Lofland, and Harry
Lawtey.
Thus far, Joker: Folie à Deux has a 60% critic
approval rating (out of 58 reviews) on Rotten Tomatoes.
The 1981-set first film Joker made history in 2019 as the highest-grossing R-rated
film of all time, amassing $1.079B at the global box office despite mixed reviews.

dresses in dark colors such as black, charcoal, or
deep burgundy. These pieces provide a foundation for your

finding the perfect balance between professional and gothic elements.
By incorporating gothic details in subtle ways and experimenting with
unique pieces, you can create a look that is both edgy and work-appropriate.
One way to infuse gothic elements into your professional attire is by pairing tailored pieces like blazers or pantsuits

jewelry featuring gothic motifs.
Makeup and Hair for Corporate Goths
Your makeup and hair can also contribute to your overall corporate goth look.
Opt for a more subdued approach to makeup, focusing on **dark eye makeup with a small wing** and a sophisticated lip color like **deep red**.
However, be mindful of your company’s dress code and adjust your makeup accordingly, if necessary.
When it comes to hair, consider maintaining a more traditional color but experiment with unique hairstyles or
accessories that incorporate gothic elements.
For your gothic makeup, start with a flawless base using
a foundation that matches your skin tone. Then, create a smoky eye
effect with black or dark eyeshadow, blending it
well for a seamless look. You can add a small wing to your
eyeliner for a touch of drama. Finish off the look with a dark, vampy lip color like deep red, burgundy, or plum.
Remember to choose long-lasting and smudge-proof products to maintain your gothic
makeup throughout the workday.
When it comes to hair, many corporate goths prefer traditional
hair colors such as black, dark brown, or deep red.
This allows you to maintain a professional appearance while still
embracing gothic aesthetics. However, you can still
experiment with unique hairstyles to add a touch of edginess to your look.
Consider trying **sleek updos**, **voluminous curls**, or **braided styles**.
Additionally, you can accessorize your hair with gothic accessories like **hair clips**, **headbands with spikes
or skulls**, or even **feathers** for a more
whimsical touch.

Lady Gaga is ‘disappointed’ at the immense flood
of negative reactions to Joker: Folie à Deux, with the singer’s team now keen to quickly push out other projects to help distract from the furor over the
film, insiders claim.
Todd Phillips‘ sequel was officially released in theaters on October 4,
but despite expectations, it bombed, raking in just under $40 million at
the domestic box office, and receiving the lowest CinemaScore in comic book movie history.
Gaga, 38, is reportedly confused at the lack of love for her turn as Harleen Lee Quinzel, aka Harley Quinn, alongside Joaquin Phoenix, 49,
as the Joker — a role that won him the best actor Oscar in 2019 — in the
wake of the standing ovation it received at the Venice Film Festival last month.
‘Gaga is surprised by the response to Joker 2 and is shocked
that people don’t love it after the response it
received from critics before it premiered,’ a source exclusively
told DailyMail.com.
‘She put so much heart into the movie and has so much respect for the DC comics fan base.’
Lady Gaga is ‘disappointed’ at the immense flood
of negative reactions to Joker: Folie à Deux
They added: ‘Her team is quietly looking at other projects they can roll out as they want
to move on this from as quickly as possible.’
But despite the lackluster reception from fans, a second source claimed
she is not letting it deter her from returning to the big screen, with the
singer said to be eyeing up a Quentin Tarantino movie.
‘She is disappointed that Joker is pretty much a bomb,’ they said.
‘She thought that this film could get her an Oscar
nomination, especially since the first film was such a success and Joaquin won an Oscar.
‘She would now like to land a role in Quentin Tarantino’s next and final film.
Nobody knows what that is going to be, but she wants to
audition.
‘She’s going to lobby hard to get a meeting with him once
a script is presented, it is a bucket list moment for her to be involved.’
Tarantino was set to create The Movie Critic which would have been his tenth and final film, but on April
17, sources told The Hollywood Reporter that the project
was canceled.
The famed director is now believed to be working up a
new project to mark his final cinematic release.
The singer’s team is now keen to push out other projects
to help distract from the backlash, insiders have told DailyMail.com
Joker: Folie à Deux has flopped at the box office, with the psychological
musical thriller also landing the lowest CinemaScore
for a comic book movie
Gaga, real name is Stefani Germanotta, is hoping the Joker 2 flop
will just be a small blip in her career, after the film received a D rating on CinemaScore —
the lowest score for a comic book movie.
Madame Web — which notably also flopped in theaters earlier this year and also received terrible reviews — holds the higher score of C+.
Joker notably opened with $96.2 million on its theater release in 2019 and eventually
took a little over $1 billion in the global box office.
The first movie — which was also directed by Phillips — had a budget of between $55 and $70 million. However,
the budget more than doubled to around $200 million for Folie À Deux.
The sequel screened during the Venice International Film Festival
last month, where it earned a 12-minute standing
ovation, per Deadline.
It had been projected to bring in around $70 million — but the number drastically dropped amid mixed reviews before release.
Audiences have since shared their opinions on the sequel, which features multiple musical sequences.
‘Joaquin Phoenix don’t deserve this,’ wrote one on X.
‘What happened to the script?’
Another user added: ‘Stop making sequels as musicals if the original wasn’t a musical.’
An insider told DailyMail.com: ‘Gaga is surprised by the response to Joker 2 and
is shocked that people don’t love it after the response it received from critics before it premiered’
‘Joker downfall really needs to be studied,’ shared
a third, along with a monkey staring out a window.
One fan branded it ‘bad,’ adding:’ It was pretentious and dull.
Has the aesthetic of an arthouse film without the substance.
‘It also insults the audience’s intelligence. the songs were also underwhelming too.
They shouldn’t have let this escape to theaters.’
Another said: ‘The audience that loved the first movie is not the same audience running to see
musicals. This was a gigantic mistake from step 1.’
Many social media users have also slammed the movie’s
final scene, which saw Phoenix’s Arthur Fleck
brutally stabbed to death by a fellow inmate who could in fact
by the real Joker.
But others did jump in in defense of the film, with one hailing it ‘amazing.’
‘100% as divisive as people are making it out to be,’ they continued.
‘I love that the film didn’t try to be a traditional sequel, and
fully committed to the storytelling they presented.
It never deviated to be a film full of Easter eggs or any other crowd pleasing aspects.’
Another user said: ‘I kinda loved Joker 2. I loved how it was structured as a meta-exploration of the first
film’s fandom and the musical elements were a lot of fun.’
Another source explained: ‘Gaga thought that this film could get her an Oscar nomination’ (pictured director
Todd Phillips, Gaga and Phoenix in September)
The insider explained: ‘She would now like to
land a role in Quentin Tarantino’s next and final film’
One user claimed the film is ‘getting universal hate despite being more interesting and creative than anything
marvel has done in years is expected.’
‘Joker 2 is genuinely such a clever movie which carries the
character study format of the first movie into the second in a way which, surprisingly, will floor you by the end,’ declared another.
‘I’m astounded reception is this bad because this is SUCH a clever movie.’
A video of Gaga and Phoenix’s awkward reaction to being asked if
Folie à Deux was ‘everything they expected’ went viral amid
the backlash.
For a few seconds, the two stars sat in silence
as they both waited for the other to answer the question.
‘Tell them how you feel, Joaquin,’ Gaga said to her costar as she held out
a fake microphone in front of him.
‘It’s so hard to talk about but I think we feel like we
achieved what we set out to do,’ he replied.
As an educator with expertise in various subjects, I must clarify that there is
no definitive answer or documented information regarding Jim Thorpe’s favorite

An invitation to lunch at Caviar Kaspia was, once upon a time,
an offer you simply didn’t refuse. Providing, of course, that the bill was on someone
else. Because caviar, smeared on blinis or piled high
on baked potatoes, sure didn’t come cheap. There may have been other things
on the menu, but no one paid them much heed.
This was all about lashings of the black stuff.
Caviar Kaspia’s signature baked potato and caviar: ‘there are few better dishes on earth…only
the price, at just under £150, is ridiculous’
Caviar Kaspia popped her final tin about two decades back.
And that site, hidden down a smart Mayfair mews,
was taken over by Gavin Rankin (who used to be the boss), and transformed
into the brilliant Bellamy’s. It prospers to
this day. Kaspia, on the other hand, went quiet. Until last
year, when she reopened as a members’ club in another Mayfair backstreet.
But a £2,000 a year membership fee proved hard to
swallow, meaning the doors were opened to the great unwashed.
Which is how we find ourselves sitting in a rather
handsome — albeit near empty — dining room, lusciously lavish, under the stern gaze of a stern painting of
a very stern man. The soft, crepuscular gloom is broken up by the glare
of table lamps, indecorously bright, while a loud soundtrack of indolent, indeterminate beats throbs in the background.
The whole place is scented with gilded ennui.
Our fellow diners are two young South Korean women of pale, luminescent beauty, clad in diaphanous couture.
They don’t speak, rather communicate entirely via camera
phone. Pose, click, check, filter, post. Immaculate waiters hover in the shadows.
We sip ice-cold vodka, and eat a £77 caviar and smoked-salmon Kaspia croque monsieur that
tastes far better than it ought to. Next door, a large table fills with a glut of the noisily, glossily confident.
We’re looked after by a wonderful French lady of such effervescent charm and charisma that had she burst into an impromptu performance of ‘Willkommen’, we
would have barely blinked. Baked potatoes, skin as crisp as
parchment, insides whipped savagely hard with butter and sour cream, are a study in tuber art.
A cool jet-black splodge of oscietra caviar, gently saline, raises them to the sublime.
Only the price, at just under £150 each, is ridiculous.
But there are few better dishes on earth. I’d eat this every day if I could.
But I can’t. Obviously. That’s the problem with caviar.
One taste is never enough.
About £200 per head. Caviar Kaspia, 1a Chesterfield Street, London W1; caviarkaspialondon.com

Celine Dion had a hilarious reaction to her hit, My
Heart Will Go On, in a new video this week.
The iconic songstress, 56, who is best known for the 1997 Titanic soundtrack song, was seen attempting to
stream her rendition of Edith Piaf’s Hymne à l’amour — but Siri failed
to understand her and instead suggested My Heart Will Go On.
In the clip, Dion says: ‘Hey Siri, play Hymne à l’amour by
Céline Dion?’ with Siri responding: ‘I cannot find that
track by Céline Dion but here is My Heart Will Go On. »
A frustrated Dion said: ‘No! Hello, No, no, no, Hey Siri, can you play Hymne à l’amour by Céline Dion please?’
Again, Siri replied: ‘I cannot find that track by Céline Dion but here is My Heart Will Go On.’

Dion looked shocked before smiling and giving the thumbs up.
In July Dion made a musical comeback with the track at the 2024 Paris Olympic Opening Ceremony amid her battle with incurable condition, stiff-person syndrome.
28 years after making her Olympic debut in 1996 at Atlanta’s stadium, Celine proved she’s still got it following her emotional act in the French city at the Eiffel Tower.
And after bringing fans to tears, Celine reflected on the iconic moment with a heartfelt message on X.
She wrote: ‘I’m honored to have performed tonight, for the Paris 2024 Opening Ceremony, and so full of joy to be back in one of my very favorite cities!
‘Most of all, I’m so happy to be celebrating these amazing athletes, with all their stories of sacrifice and determination, pain and perseverance.

‘You should all be so proud, we know how hard you have worked to

my heart is with you! — Celine xx…’
Celine looked incredible in a shimmering silver gown as she performed in front of the Eiffel
Tower.
She gave a rendition of Hymne à L’amour, which was originally sung by French music icon Edith Piaf.
The song was originally released in 1950 and its title translates into
English as ‘Hymn to Love.’
The My Heart Will Go On songstress looked to be on the verge of tears
as she finished the performance to cheers from
the crowd, whilst viewers at home were also left emotional.

Celine Dion’s showstopping ‘live’ performance at the start of the Paris 2024
Olympics was pre-recorded, it was claimed in France today.
Millions were moved to tears when the 56-year-old Canadian superstar sang Hymne à L’amour (Hymn to Love) in front of the Eiffel Tower.
It was the culmination of a lavish Opening Ceremony mainly
held along the banks of the River Seine — one that President Emmanuel Macron said was the ’emotional highlight’ of the sporting extravaganza.
But on Friday, the highly respected Liberation newspaper quoted multiple music industry experts who
said the July 26th performance was ‘without a shadow of a doubt’ pre-recorded.

In comments that were republished across French media, a sound engineer who asked to remain anonymous said: ‘It was 100% playback,
you can hear it from the first notes.’
Others said it was ‘without a shadow of a doubt’ pre-recorded,
as was a performance by Ms Dion in rehearsals.
A YouTuber musician who uses the name Wings of Pegasus said the rehearsal and actual performance
also sounded exactly the same — something that is
technically impossible, as there will always be variations between any two versions of a live song.
The Olympics performance was meant to be a triumphant comeback for Ms Dion, who has been battling the incurable stiff-person syndrome.
Hymne à L’amour was chosen because it was originally sung by the late French music icon Edith Piaf.
Thousands of fans took to social media to praise Ms Dion, whose greatest hits include
‘My Heart Will Go On’, the theme from the Titanic movie.

is back and she sounds fantastic’.
It was in 2022 that Ms Dion disclosed that she had been diagnosed with the neurological disorder stiff-person syndrome which
causes muscles to stiffen and spasm.

Despite heavy rain, many sat through multiple acts, including a pre-recorded one by Lady Gaga, which was shown on multiple screens along the river, as well as around the world.
But Ms Dion’s performance was meant to be a live one, and
it has just been released as such on various streaming platforms.
Ms Dion announced on Instagram on Thursday that the ‘live’
recording was available on sites such as YouTube and Spotify.

Cerdan, who died in a plane crash in October 1949.

Des électeurs attendent l’ouverture d’un bureau de vote à
Windhoek, le 29 novembre 2024 en Namibie
Namibians returned to vote on Friday in 36 polling stations reopened two days after a
chaotic election, set to test the ruling party’s 34-year grip on power, was
marred by technical problems.
Tensions are mounting in the historically stable and peaceful southern African nation where Wednesday’s election was marked by long delays and labelled a «sham» by the opposition.
Some people waited 12 hours in line to vote in presidential and legislative
polls, billed as the toughest yet for the South West Africa People’s
Organisation (SWAPO) party, in power since Namibia’s 1990 independence from South africa.
Wednesday’s queues were caused by many technical problems, including
issues with tablets used to register voters and shortages of ballot
papers.
In some cases, torches used to show up invisible ink had run out
of batteries and mobile voting teams had left areas with
voters still in the queues, it said.
Facing criticism from both voters and parties, the electoral commission extended
the vote for a second time, giving Namibians until Saturday evening to vote.
In the capital Windhoek, at the only polling station picked to reopen, about 60 people showed up on Friday, including Kluivert Muuondjo who arrived at 4:30 am.
The 21-year-old student said he had waited in line until 11:00 pm on Wednesday but left before
being able to vote as he had exams the next day.
Des électeurs attendent l’ouverture d’un bureau de vote à Windhoek, le 29 novembre 2024 en Namibie
«Everyone will have the chance to vote,» he said. But because Namibians can vote at any given polling station, he was worried «everyone will flock to one place again.»
The disarray led to angry complaints from opposition parties with some calling for a halt in the electoral process.
Opposition parties were scheduled to meet on Friday and issue a joint statement, according to
Christine Aochamus who represents the Independent Patriots
for Change (IPC) party.
Youth unemployment, enduring inequalities and the emergence
of a generation born after independence are challenging support towards SWAPO which has ruled since 1990.
Its candidate, vice-president Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah, who could become the first woman to lead the country if elected,
could face an unprecedented second round in the mineral rich country.
«To open only one place in Khomas (the region of which the capital is part of) is absurd,» said voter Ensley Engermund, who also
said he couldn’t vote on Wednesday because of long queues
despite trying four different polling stations.
«Only 1.5 millions voters are registered and we get this chaos?» asked
the 49-year-old security agent.
«It was to get people frustrated.»

Adam Bandt said people ‘can make their own judgment’ about him enjoying an exclusive and
discretionary perk from Qantas during a tense exchange with a journalist live on radio.
The Greens leader has been outed as a member of
the Qantas Chairman’s Lounge, an invitation-only set of catered
waiting areas and services handed out by the airline in what has been called ‘Australia’s most exclusive club’.
Mr Bandt was challenged on Monday by ABC Radio National stand-in host Steve Cannane that he was ‘enjoying free hospitality from a company that has illegally
sacked hundreds of workers’.
Mr Bandt replied: ‘And I’ll declare that and
people can make their own judgement about what
they think about that.’
Cannane was referring to the Federal Court’s ruling that Qantas illegally sacked
1,700 workers at the start of the Covid pandemic in a case brought by Transport Workers Union.
Commenting on the sacking in June of 2020, Mr Bandt called it a ‘devastating
day for thousands of Qantas workers & their families’ in a Facebook post.
‘We’re thinking of you,’ he wrote.
Cannane challenged Mr Bandt further saying: ‘You don’t think you should be a little
purer on this and just not take their (Qantas’s) hospitality?’
Mr Bandt said he always made declarations about matters such
as this and argued that the party’s policies to tax big corporations heavily show the perks were not impacting
the Greens.

How Greens leader Adam Bandt spent thousands on private jet flights while lecturing YOU about climate
change
Mr Bandt was spotted in September flying business class from Melbourne to Canberra seated next to Senator Jacqui Lambie.
Albanese government ministers Tim Watts and Catherine King
were on the same flight but were with the masses in economy class.
It has been previously reported that Mr Bandt opts to frequently fly
business despite his party’s core policy of cutting C02 emissions.
Flying business class emits about three times as much carbon as economy class because the seats take
up more room and more of them are empty, according to a World Bank study.
Fellow Greens MP Max Chandler-Mather last year said he
had shunned a Chairman’s Lounge membership and refuses to travel business class.
Earlier this year Mr Bandt’s flying habits led to controversy.
Mr Bandt’s flying habits have been a previous source of controversy after it

Mr Bandt used two private jets during the 2022 federal election campaign, landing tax
payers with the $23,000 bill.
One flight was between Queensland regional
centres Townsville and Rockhampton on March 7 but he also boarded a $15,000 private plane along the
well-travelled Brisbane to Canberra route to attend his party’s election campaign launch.
Mr Bandt isn’t the only politician in the hot seat with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese being asked if he has included both his son and partner as ‘plus one’ Chairman’s Club members.
He is also being asked about free flight upgrades including an international one he is alleged to have
received from Qantas in new book The Chairman’s Lounge authored by former
Australian Financial Review columnist Joe Aston.
The Greens are licking their electoral wounds after the Queensland state poll, where they are battling to hold onto their two seats
after stating they aimed to triple their representation in parliament.
With 72 per cent of the vote counted they appear to have retained the Brisbane seat of Maiwar but suffered a 4.6 per cent swing to the ALP.
However, they remain behind South Brisbane, which has
seen a massive 12.4 per cent swing to Labor with 64 per cent of votes counted.

Tim Dillon, who makes a brief appearance in Joker:
Folie à Deux, has described the new sequel as ‘terrible’ and ‘the worst
film ever made’.
The follow-up to the Oscar-winning 2019 film, starring Joaquin Phoenix as Arthur
Fleck (Joker) and Lady Gaga as Lee Quinzel (Harley Quinn), faced
negative reviews from critics before its October 4 release and flopped at the box office.
Tim, 39, who played a guard at Arkham Asylum in the movie, said Todd Philips’s new
film has ‘no plot’ and admitted he knew it was ‘going to bomb’ while filming.
Speaking on The Joe Rogan Experience podcast, Tim said: ‘It’s the worst film ever made.
‘I think what happened, after the first Joker, there was a lot
of talk like, ‘Oh, this was loved by incels. This was loved by the wrong kinds of people.
This sent the wrong kind of message. Male rage!
Nihilism! All these think pieces.

The follow-up to the Oscar-winning 2019 film, starring Joaquin Phoenix as Arthur Fleck (Joker) and Lady Gaga
as Lee Quinzel (Harley Quinn), faced negative reviews from critics before its October 4 release
and flopped at the box office
‘And then I think, ‘What if we went the other way,’ and now they have
Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga tap dancing to a point
where it’s insane.’
He continued: ‘It has no plot. We would sit there, me and these other guys were all dressed
in these security outfits because we’re working at the
Arkham Asylum, and I would turn to one of them and
we’d hear this crap and I’d go, ‘What the f*** is this?’
And they’d go, ‘This is going to bomb, man.’ I go, ‘This is
the worst thing I’ve ever seen.’
‘We were talking about it at lunch, and we’d go, ‘What is the plot?
Is there a plot? I don’t know, I think he falls in love with her in the prison?’
It’s not even hate-watchable. That’s how terrible it is.’
Despite the negative reviews a number of fans of the sequel took to social media after its release last month to defend the sequel to Todd Phillips’ 2019 motion picture.
The film debuted to a paltry $40 million at the domestic box office, good enough for the weekend’s top spot, but
less than projections, and half that of its predecessor.
Amid the early returns, a number of fans took up for the movie and its cinematic depth, in breaking away from
the cookie cutter nature of sequels to introduce a musical element not present in the first
film, with Lady Gaga joining the franchise.
‘Joker 2 was amazing,’ one user said, adding that
it was ‘100% as divisive as people are making it out to be.
I love that the film didn’t try to be a traditional sequel, and fully committed to the
storytelling they presented. It never deviated to
be a film full of Easter eggs or any other crowd pleasing aspects.’
Another user said, ‘I kinda loved Joker 2. I loved how
it was structured as a meta-exploration of the first
film’s fandom and the musical elements were a lot of fun.’

It comes after lead star Lady Gaga was left ‘disappointed’ at the immense flood
of negative reactions to Joker: Folie à Deux, with the singer’s
team now keen to quickly push out other projects to help distract
from the furore over the film, insiders claim.
Todd Phillips‘ sequel has bombed, raking in just under $40
million at the domestic box office, and receiving the
lowest CinemaScore in comic book movie history.
Gaga, 38, is reportedly confused at the lack of love for her turn as Harleen Lee Quinzel, aka Harley Quinn, alongside Joaquin Phoenix, 49, as the Joker —
a role that won him the best actor Oscar in 2019 — in the wake
of the standing ovation it received at the Venice Film Festival last month.
‘Gaga is surprised by the response to Joker 2 and is shocked that
people don’t love it after the response it received from critics before it premiered,’ a source exclusively told DailyMail.com.
‘She put so much heart into the movie and has so much respect for the DC comics fan base.’
They added: ‘Her team is quietly looking at other projects they can roll out as they want to
move on this from as quickly as possible.’

But despite the lacklustre reception from fans, a second source claimed she is not letting
it deter her from returning to the big screen, with the singer
said to be eyeing up a Quentin Tarantino movie.
‘She is disappointed that Joker is pretty much a bomb,’ they said.
‘She thought that this film could get her an Oscar nomination, especially since the first
film was such a success and Joaquin won an Oscar.
‘She would now like to land a role in Quentin Tarantino’s next and final film.
Nobody knows what that is going to be, but she wants
to audition.
‘She’s going to lobby hard to get a meeting with him once a script is presented, it is a
bucket list moment for her to be involved.’

Smile 2 and Terrifier 3 are set for a horror box office showdown this weekend.
Terrifier 3 — made for just $2million — has become a surprise hit, raking in $28.6million so far and knocking Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga film Joker: Folie à Deux off the top of the US box office.

Smile 2 — starring Naomi Scott, Lukas Gage and Ray
Nicholson — will drop October 18 with The Wrap predicting the film could make $22million over its opening weekend.
The synopsis reads: ‘About to embark on a world tour, global pop sensation Skye Riley (Naomi Scott) begins experiencing increasingly terrifying and inexplicable events.

There is something reassuringly robust about The Punch Bowl Inn.
Not just in the old-fashioned bar, where the
Wainwright Gold is well kept and a huge leather sofa sits before a
blazing wood burner; or in the dining room, solid and comfortable, with
its old beams, well-trodden wooden floors and tables unadorned with cloths;
it’s in the menu, too, mainly British with a Gallic burr, that makes full use
of the magnificent local Lake District larder.
Stornoway black pudding with crispy egg and bubble and squeak:
‘pure Cumbrian comfort by way of Lewis’, is Tom’s
verdict
We’re here with Peter Gott, that great Cumbrian hero, and
the man behind Sillfield Farm, who has invited
me up to cook at the Westmorland County Show; also chef Phil Vickery, who certainty knows his alliums; and the force of nature that is
Lorraine Stanton, something of a legend around these parts.
But first dinner, and a sublime twice-baked Mrs Kirkham’s cheese
soufflé, the texture as light as a sigh, the flavour profoundly, lasciviously rich.
Mrs Kirkham’s, now made by her son Graham, is one of the world’s great cheeses, and
this is a soufflé of quiet majesty. A mushroom soup is equally
splendid, managing to be both light and gutsy, while Stornoway black pudding
with bubble and squeak and a deep-fried egg is
pure Cumbrian comfort by way of Lewis.
There’s a fundamental generosity here, matched by assured technical precision. Duck à l’orange sees a plump breast cooked rare,
the skin crisp, the sauce just the right side of bitter.
It comes with a fat potato fondant and cabbage spiked with shards of smoked
bacon. I eat rump of lamb, four vast just-pink slices, drenched in the stickiest, most gloriously intense
of gravies; by its side, a tiny shepherd’s
pie, one bite of pure ovine brilliance.
Puddings are every bit as fine: a lemon tart, beautifully sharp, with damson sorbet (this part of
the Lake District is famed for its damsons); along with a banana
soufflé, this time the classic version but ethereal,
served with vanilla ice cream and a pot of sticky-toffee
sauce to pour deep into its molten centre. This is good old-fashioned food, immaculately done,
in the sort of pub designed for lingering. It’s getting late now, and we’ve an early
start. But first, another bottle of wine. Dinners like this are too rare to be rushed.

Former first lady Melania Trump said she was completely comfortable
with posing nude during her modeling days.
In her memoir Melania, which was released Tuesday, she recounts
how her nude photos were put on the cover of The New York Post during the closing
weeks of the 2016 presidential election.
The tabloid used the ‘disgusting heaadline,’ as Melania described it, ‘Menage à Trump.’
‘My upbringing in Europe had fostered a different perspective on nudity, a more open and accepting attitude,
‘ she wrote. ‘We were accustomed to beaches where nudity was commonplace, a natural and uncontroversial aspect
of life.’
She noted how ‘attitudes toward the female body in the United States
were starkly different.’
Melania Trump at a Vogue event in 2000. She wrote in her memoir Melania about her nude photographs shot for the French
magazine Max in 1996 used against her husband politically
The controversial photos were from a 1996 photoshoot from
a now defunct French fashion magazine called Max.
‘The photos had never been circulated in the United States,’ she recalled.
‘The magazine that had originally published them had ceased
to exist long before these images were unearthed, and
now they were being shared for the sole purpose of damaging Donald’s campaign.’
She wrote that the photos ‘were not a source of shame for me.’
‘The female form was once revered and honored in Western culture.
Historically, artists produced magnificent paintings and sculptures that
exalted the beauty of the feminine figure. Nudity was a
medium through which humanity was elevated and celebrated,’ Melania sid.
‘This sentiment resonated deeply with me when I posed for
Vogue during my pregnancy,’ she wrote.
Throughout the book she mentions her working relationship with
Vogue and its longtime top editor Anna Wintour.
These days Wintour is actively supporting former President Donald Trump’s Democratic rival, Vice President Kamala Harris.
A 1998 photo of Melania Trump depicting her in a white
bikini. The former first lady said she never felt shame about posing
nude but was angered that her nude modeling
photos were used to try to hurt her husband’s first presidential campaign
‘I believed then, as I do now, that women should take pride in their bodies, not feel shame,’ Melania continued.
‘During my modeling days, posing nude was commonplace and hardly scandalous,’ she said.
‘To me, those images were artistic and tasteful, fitting for a publication like Max,
which showcased many renowned super-models.’
But there was another problem with the photographer selling the photos of Melania to the newspaper — he originally said the photoshoot
happened a year before.
‘This misinformation led to unfounded allegations that I
had illegally worked in the United States, a claim propagated by the New York Post,’
she wrote.
‘Although the photographer later admitted the error, the damage was
done — sensationalized lies about me spread worldwide,
driven by a shameful pursuit of scandal and profit,’ the former first
lady added.

Joker: Folie À Deux director Todd Phillips ‘wanted nothing to do with DC’ during making of the
$200million flop film, a new report has claimed.
The hotly-anticipated sequel to the 2019 billion dollar Oscar-winning film — stars Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga and
was considered a surefire hit for Warner Bros Pictures — but was slammed by critics and failed to ignite at
the box office.
The sequel has been roundly criticized for being a musical and ‘ignoring’ the DC fanbase — with an agent
familiar with Phillips’ process telling Variety he ‘wanted
nothing to do with DC’ during the making of the film, with DC bosses James Gunn and
Peter Safran notably absent from the film’s LA premiere
afterparty last month.
A source said: ‘If the first movie was about some down-on-his-luck,
mentally ill guy in a downtrodden city, it makes maybe $150 [million] worldwide.
Not a billion. People showed up because that guy was Joker.’
In an apparent snub by Phillips, the opening sequence of the film does
not include a DC Studios logo.
On Rotten Tomatoes, the movie currently holds an audience score
of 31% and a critic score of 32%
The hotly-anticipated sequel to the 2019 billion dollar Oscar-winning film
— stars Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga — seen with Phillips last
month — and was considered a surefire hit for Warners Bros Pictures — but was slammed by critics and failed
to ignite at the box office
A DC spokesman said Gunn was directing the Max series Peacemaker in Atlanta, which had
lost a day of production due to Hurricane Helene, while
Safran was sick.

Joker: Folie À Deux is branded ‘bleak’ and the ‘most disappointing follow-up’ by critics
A Warner spokesman added that a DC logo appears at the end of the Joker sequel.
while Phillips declined to comment to the publication.
Several frictions are said to have developed between Phillips, DC and Warner- with claims
that Michael DeLuca, Chairperson of Warner Bros.
Entertainment, and CEO Pamela Abdy seemed ‘unwilling’ to say no
to Phillips due to his huge past successes.
It is claimed Phillips would ‘only’ speak with DeLuca and Abdy rather than Gunn and Safran — who took control of DC two months before production began on Joker 2 in December 2022.
Gunn and Safran did attend the first director’s cut screening for the
studio but Phillips fueled rift speculation when he told a
reporter: ‘With all due respect to them, this is kind of
a Warner Bros. movie.’
Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav also met with Phillips shortly after WarnerMedia and Discovery merged in April
2022 and was ‘open to filming in Los Angeles if
the director would make the sequel at a lower
price point.’
The studio wanted to film in London which would have cost around 20 per cent less.
However, Phillips insisted on filming in LA with the budget remaining static.
The sequel has been roundly criticized for being a musical and ‘ignoring’ the DC fanbase — with an agent familiar with Phillips’ process telling Variety he ‘wanted nothing
to do with DC’ during the making of the film, with DC

A Warner spokesman told the publication the studio ‘supported the decision to film in Los Angeles’.
A source directly involved with the film said: ‘No
one could get through to Todd. And the one thing about
genre stuff: If you don’t listen and pay attention to what the fan expectations are, you’re going to fail.
Insiders also claim studio bosses did not want to premiere the
film at the Venice Film Festival, but Phillips pushed back — with a Warner spokesman saying
the studio ‘fully supported the decision to bring the film to Venice.
Joker: Folie À Deux has garnered the lowest CinemaScore in comic book
movie history as the film bombed at the box office on opening
night.
It has only made $114million worldwide against its $200million budget.
The psychological musical thriller — which has been criticized as
‘bleak’ and ‘disappointing’ — officially
released in theaters on Friday, October 4, but it
only raked in $20 million at the domestic box office, per The Hollywood Reporter.
Phoenix reprised his role as the Joker in the sequel, which had earned him an Oscar for his
portrayal in the 2019 film, while Gaga took on the role of
Harleen Lee Quinzel (Harley Quinn).
However, Joker: Folie À Deux has been given a D rating on CinemaScore
— the lowest score for a comic book movie.
Madame Web — which notably also flopped in theaters earlier this year and
also received terrible reviews — holds a higher score with a C+.
On Rotten Tomatoes, the movie currently holds an audience score
of 31% and a critic score of 32%.
The sequel is projected to rake in less that $50 million at the domestic box office during the entirety of opening weekend, per The Hollywood
Reporter.
Weeks ago, the movie had been projected to bring in around
$70 million — but the number has since drastically dropped.
Joker (2019) notably opened with $96.2 million when the
film first released in theaters — and eventually
landed a little over $1 billion in the global box office.
The first movie — which was also directed by Todd
Phillips — had a budget of between $55 and $70 million. However, the budget increased for Folie À Deux to
around $200 million.
The 2019 movie garnered praise and positive reviews from both
critics and audiences — and won the Golden Lion during
the 76th Venice International Film Festival.
Joaquin received an Oscar for Best Actor for his portrayal of the Joker (Arthur Fleck)
— and the film garnered an additional Academy Award for Best Original Score.
The sequel also screened during the Venice International
Film Festival last month in September, where it earned a 12-minute standing ovation, per Deadline.
A source directly involved with the film said: ‘No one could get through to Todd.
And the one thing about genre stuff: If you don’t listen and pay attention to what the fan expectations are, you’re going to fail.
However, audiences have since taken to X after the movie released in theaters on Friday — and shared their opinions on the sequel,
which features musical sequences.
One fan penned, ‘Joaquin Phoenix don’t deserve this. what happened to the script?’ while another added, ‘is it that bad,’ followed by a crying face emoji.
‘Ironically I feel that a musical, if done well, could have been a
good choice. It’d show how much of an unreliable narrator Fleck is,
‘ one typed.
‘But with some original songs, that keep everything vague,
not just covers. Also when I heard of the ending I snorted fr.’
A social media user wrote, ‘Stop making sequels as musicals if the
original wasn’t a musical.’
‘Maybe he [Phillips] only had an hour long movie, and decided
to randomly add musical scenes to fill the runtime,’ one penned.
‘Joker downfall really needs to be studied,’ another shared, along with a monkey staring out a window.
One fan said, ‘the movie sucks. i had to walk out
of the cinema,’ while another penned, ‘After years of disagreement….*Joker 2 releases* Critics [shaking hands] Audience.’

‘It also insults the audience’s intelligence. the songs were also underwhelming too.
they shouldn’t have let this escape to theaters.’
One shared, ‘The audience that loved the first movie is
not the same audience running to see musicals.
This was a gigantic mistake from step 1.’
During an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Phillips discussed whether he would
be interested in making a third Joker film or a movie centered around Gaga’s character.
‘It’s not really where this movie is headed for me. I feel like my time in the DC Universe was
these two films.’
Ahead of the movie’s release, Lady Gaga also dropped an accompanying album titled Harlequin on September 27.

The ‘bleak’ sequel, has also received a tepid reception from fans, with some
claiming Lady Gaga’s career could be at risk.
While the same director Todd Phillips was back in the hot seat, critics have said the sequel is just a ‘repeat’ of the
first hit but with an added musical twist.
Most critics have said Todd failed to use Gaga correctly in the movie and claimed she was only bought in for the musical aspect of it.
While the majority of critics say Joker: Folie À Deux didn’t live up to expectations,
others have dubbed the movie ‘bold’ and ‘brilliant.’
Daily Mail’s Brian Viner commended the move as ‘bold’ and ‘brilliant’ but said it lacked any thrill.
The Independent’s Geoffrey Macnab said: ‘Today Joker
is best remembered as one of the most subversive and original films of
the last decade, while its hugely anticipated sequel
is just as bleak and formally daring as its predecessor’.
Meanwhile, the Irish Times’ Donald Clarke gave the movie just two stars but credited Phillips’
work for making a sequel following the first movie’s $1billion success.
Financial Times critic Danny Leigh said although Gaga worked hard to bump the ratings up in the sequel, Phillips appeared to have no idea what to
do with her.
Giving a three star rating, The Guardian’s Peter Bradshaw claimed the movie
proves ‘claustrophobic’ and ‘repetitive.’
Joker: Folie À Deux has been branded the ‘most disappointing follow-up to the Oscar-winning movie’ by critics,
as they cast doubt on Lady Gaga’s ‘thin’ role in the film following
its release on Friday; seen in September in London
The Times’ Kevin Maher wrote: ‘The director Todd Phillips said there would be no follow-up to the original, but he changed his mind
and the result is a derivative musical’
‘This might be the most disappointing follow-up to an Oscar-winning performance since Anthony Hopkins reworked his silky and terrifying Dr Lecter
from for the campy, kitschy.’
Along with Lady Gaga and Joaquin Phoenix, other stars that had appeared in the sequel include
Brendan Gleeson, Catherine Keener, Zazie Beatz and Steve Coogan.
Joker: Folie à Deux has faced additional backlash from
fans as they have claimed that Gaga is running the risk of losing her acting career.

Anthony Albanese has tried to claim his relationship with Alan Joyce was a strictly
professional one between a Prime Minister and
a corporate titan, as he battles claims the Qantas boss was his ‘personal
travel agent’ for free flights and upgrades.
However that characterization of the relationship was at odds with that made by Mr Joyce, who said he was ‘good
mates’ with Mr Albanese and had been ‘for years’.
In the wake of the explosive claims that the Prime Minister had Mr Joyce arrange free tickets and upgrades, Mr Albanese
distanced himself from the Qantas chief.
When asked about about their relationship on Sunday Mr Albanese implied it
was purely in a professional capacity, having been Transport Minister and shadow transport
spokesperson before becoming Prime Minister.
‘He (Joyce) was the CEO of the national airline …
I had the same relationship with him that I
have with John Borghetti as the CEO of Virgin,’ Mr Albanese said.
That assessment was at odds with the many photos showing
Mr Albanese and Mr Joyce apparently greatly enjoying each other’s company.
Mr Albanese and Mr Joyce were pictured in high spirits
on the red carpet at the Qantas 100th Gala Dinner in March
last year.
In photos from the event, Mr Joyce proudly walks the red carpet with one arm around the prime minister and the other around Mr Albanese’s partner, Jodie Haydon.
Just five months later, in August, a smiling Mr
Albanese attended Qantas’s unveiling of it’s special ‘Yes 23′ emblazoned airplanes for the
Voice referendum.
Former Qantas CEO Alan Joyce jovially walked the red carpet with one arm around the
prime minister and the other around his partner, Jodie Haydon for a special anniversary event last year
Mr Joyce was seen touching Mr Albanese’s arm, with the PM bursting
into laughter.
Even when Scott Morrison was PM, Mr Joyce enjoyed an apparently close relationship with Mr Albanese as the pair stood close together at
the launch of the Qantas’ landmark Perth to London flight in March,
2018.
During a Senate hearing in September 2023,
Mr Joyce said he had been ‘friends for years’ with Mr Albanese.
Asked about why he gifted Mr Albanese’s son Nathan a membership to the prestigious and exclusive Chairman’s Lounge Mr Joyce
refused to confirm or deny but talked up his relationship with the Prime Minister.
‘I’ve been good mates with Albo for some time,’ Mr Joyce said.
However, the then Qantas CEO refused to say whether he
lobbied the Prime Minister on the controversial decision to
lock competitor Qatar Airways out of domestic routes.
It has since emerged in a new book about Qantas,
The Chairman’s Lounge, by former Australian Financial Review
columnist Joe Aston that Ms Haydon is also
a Chairman’s Lounge member.
Mr Albanese and Mr Joyce also appeared to greatly enjoying each other’s company at a Qantas event in August last year

Anthony Albanese fires up and launches a brutal personal attack on book author
Reports have emerged in a new book Mr Albanese received 22 upgrades from economy from Qantas and he would liaise personally with the former airline boss for them.
Aston also alleged Mr Albanese directly contacted
Mr Joyce while in his various parliamentary jobs to ask for special
upgrades for himself or his family.
According to unnamed Qantas ‘insiders’ 11 of the 22 flights Mr Albanese
received upgrades for were ‘privately funded’
and included overseas trips to Rome, London, Los Angeles and Honolulu,
with some being for holidays.
Mr Albanese insisted on Tuesday that the London flights was for work purposes and all were ‘declared in the appropriate way’.
Opposition Leader Peter Dutton has leapt on the accusations describing Mr Albanese as being the ‘best friend’ of Mr Joyce.
Mr Dutton told Sky News on Monday night it was ‘strange’
Mr Albanese had directly contacted Mr Joyce to request upgrades while holding a regulatory position in the transport sector.
‘If you’re the Transport Minister and you’re picking up the phone to one of the most important stakeholders in the portfolio asking for
a free upgrade, then again, I think the Prime Minister would be able to answer
those questions more effectively than anyone else because I’m not aware of anyone
else having done it,’ Mr Dutton said.
It has since emerged that Ms Haydon also has membership of the Qantas Chairman’s Lounge
The Prime Minister denied frequently asking Mr Joyce for upgrades on Tuesday
at press conference in the NSW city of Newcastle.
‘The only discussions that I can recall with Alan Joyce certainly were not discussed through
calls — we discussed the first flight from Australia to Dubai
on the A380,’ he said.
‘I’ve declared everything in accordance with all of the
rules.’
Aston was asked on Monday night by ABC interviewer Sarah Ferguson about how
confident he was that Mr Albanese had made calls personally to Mr Joyce for
upgrades.
‘I am very comfortable with my sourcing,’ Aston said.
Asked whether he thought Mr Albanese had been influenced
by Mr Joyce’s lobbying to block UAE airline Qatar domestically Aston said it was ‘implausible’ to think
that the Prime Minister’s office had nothing to do with the decision.
Mr Albanese’s son Nathan, 24, has reportedly also been granted access to the Qantas Chairman’s Lounge (pictured,
Mr Albanese and son Nathan in May, 2022)
‘It’s very hard to imagine a decision of any political sensitivity in the Albanese government that would not
go through the Prime Minister’s office,’ Aston replied.
He noted the opening up of the Australian domestic market Qatar had seemingly been sailing through with Transport Minister Catherine King speaking warmly about
the proposal until ‘everything changed’ to stop it dead in tracks.
Ms King repeatedly denied in parliament the decision to block Qatar was due to Qantas lobbying her or
any Labor colleagues.
Despite Mr Albanese claiming he declared every upgrade received from Qantas the Australian Financial Review reported on Tuesday
that he failed to do for his former wife Carmel Tebbutt when the two traveled together.
Opposition Leader Peter Dutton has questioned the alleged personal requests Mr
Albanese made to Mr Joyce while in his various parliamentary
jobs
Even when Scott Morrison was prime minister, Mr Joyce appeared to have a close relationship with Mr
Albanese (the pair are pictured at an event in 2019)
Sky New host Sharri Markson on Monday night labeled Mr
Joyce as ‘basically Albanese’s personal travel agent.’
‘This is all a question of integrity. Most Australians struggle to
afford even an economy airfare. They’d never be able to afford the
luxury of business class. It’s out of our reach,’ she said.
‘Can Albanese truly be impartial when it comes to making decisions about Qantas when he’s been getting tens of thousands of dollars worth of
free upgrades to business class? The revelations puts the decision he made as transport
minister and prime minister under a cloud.
‘Aside from the integrity issues, this revelation is
also politically lethal. Albanese took care to curate a self-image of a housing commission boy who made it.
But now the perception is cementing of a long-term pollie enjoying
the perks of public office.’
Another awkward paradox of Mr Albanese’s apparent close relationship with Mr Joyce is
that the Labor leader in a trade unionist advocate while Qantas attempted to break the power of the Transport Workers
Union by sacking 1700 staff during Covid.
The sacking has since been ruled illegal by Federal Court in a
case brought by the union with Qantas facing possible hundreds of thousands in compensation payouts.
The friendship however did find one perhaps unlikely defender in semi-retired 3AW radio star Neil Mitchell.
‘Quick test: upgrade Albo is a bad look,’ Mitchell wrote on X.
‘But does anybody believe he was seriously compromised by having Alan Joyce as a
bestie? Time to rewrite rules governing politicians.’
WHAT IS THE QANTAS CHAIRMAN’S CLUB?
The Qantas Chairman’s Lounge is an invitation-only club approved by the company chairman, with the guest
list a closely-guarded secret.
It has been dubbed ¿the most exclusive club in the country¿ and comes with a distinct black card.
Members include senior-ranking MPs including ministers, state premiers and the Prime Minister, leaders of major unions and sporting groups, Qantas ambassadors, selected A-list celebrities,
major corporate figures and high-profile media personalities.
The clubs can be found in Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide but
are not signed, you have to know where to look.
Inside you will find expensive wood and brass furnishings,
wool carpet and marble flooring all bathed in natural light.
Members enjoy fine à la carte dining with a complimentary premium array of beers,
spirits and Australian wines. Wine bottles are often given as departing gift
Facilities may also include spas, showers and
an assortment of books and magazines.
Members may bring in two guests at a time.
Lounge attendants personally alert you when your flight is to board
and your personal preferences are logged for each flight. Membership also entitles you to first-class facilities at Qantas partner airlines.

LUXEMBOURG, Oct 7 (Reuters) — Germany’s economic model is not
broken but Europe’s biggest economy has lost competitiveness over
the past decade, German Finance Minister Christian Lindner said on Monday.
«We can’t be satisfied with the economic developments in Germany,» he told journalists ahead of a Eurogroup meeting.
The German economy is expected to contract by 0.2% in 2024, an economy ministry spokesperson said on Monday, cutting
the forecast from a previous projection of 0.3% growth this year.
If realised, this would be the second consecutive year of contraction for Germany’s economy, which was the weakest among
its large euro zone peers last year with a 0.3% decline in gross
domestic product.
Lindner said the government was introducing supply-side measures to
try to return the economy to growth.
«After these reforms, Germany will have more competitiveness again,» Lindner said, adding that the growth initiative
was just a first step for an economic turnaround, «but we have to build on it.»
AMBITION NEEDED
Lindner said «ambition» was needed to keep EU public finances in order,
or to put them back in order where necessary.
«I can only encourage everyone to implement structural reforms and to make unpopular decisions,» Lindner said.
«What seems to be unpopular at the moment is the willingness to take responsibility for the next generation and for the stability of the European Union as a whole.»
Lindner said he could not comment on the French budget plans
because he had not had the chance to talk with his French colleagues
yet, but he would do so on Monday evening.
«We should all realise that the credibility of public finances vis-à-vis the capital markets is not to be trifled with,» Lindner
said.
«We must credibly reduce our deficits and our debt so that we can continue to finance ourselves well and in a stable manner.»

local retail store, maybe it is best to ask for some help and describe what type you prefer.
It can be pretty daunting and imitating to choose a
bottle between an army of wine without tasting them.
There are some excellent wines on supermarket shelves; most of the grocery stores are interested in making money instead of pleasing you with
the right plate. Unless you are specifically looking for a special-occasion wine, reading labels will ease
your way when shopping. Merchants now are offering
wine online with very serious and aggressive approach creating a huge
market for wine geeks or simply for people who love to purchase from home.

nose you’ll start to distinguish more flavours and differences in every single plate.
Learning the right way to sniff a wine is to stay focused and dedicated to the moment while ignoring all distraction that may spoil your
scents. Tasting is also important so give it a swallow and simply enjoy your plate
while identifying the main flavours and components.
Because there are lots of bed wines sometimes you will feel
common faults from a wine bottle like musty smell or dump
caused by bad storage conditions or bad corks.

of its colour. But different sorts (white and red) are
served and consumed at different temperatures.
The key is to serve red wine at higher temperatures, which helps
you to better experience its flavours.
Once you’ve become familiar with the basic of Australian wine you can discover great bottles online without spending a fortune on it.

with the wine labels and the differences between red and white wine.
If you are looking for new pointers you can compare different bottles from respected
wine regions all over the world and even better you can buy wine online from most respected
wine regions and producers.
Australian politicians are almost always opting to fly with Qantas on taxpayer-funded trips, despite Virgin offering cheaper tickets.
Federal MPs flew with the national carrier for 80 per cent of
work trips last year despite it not always being the cheapest route, according to
travel data provided to the government.
While politicians and their staffers are required to book the cheapest flight, it also
has to be the most efficient, with Qantas offering the most routes between major cities.
MPs are banned from accruing frequent flyer points on taxpayer-funded trips like ordinary Aussies can, but they can can receive lifetime status credits, which allows access to airport lounges and flight upgrades.
‘How else can one explain the extraordinary dominance of Qantas in securing
bookings by parliamentarians and their staff?’ Myriam Robin wrote in an opinion piece for the Australian Financial Review.
‘There’s nothing like accruing status credits on someone else’s dime.’
Transport Minister Catherine King has since committed to a review of flight bookings
by government officials which will be conducted by the Department of Finance this year, despite there being just two
months left of 2024.
Politicians’ preference for Qantas may also be put down to the airline’s exclusive invite-only ‘Chairman’s Lounge’.

EXCLUSIVE
The Flying Kanga-RORT — why you’re footing the bill as airlines wine and dine pollies in VIP club
Daily Mail Australia in August revealed that nearly
every single federal politician in the country has accepted free membership
of the club.
Qantas and the Albanese government have both denied the airline enjoys any
disproportionate level of influence over the country’s
political classes.
A Daily Mail Australia audit of the members’ interest registers —
in both the House of Representatives and the Senate — revealed almost 93 per cent of the nation’s leaders have
been ‘gifted’ membership to the lavish, all-inclusive lounge.
The high profile ranks of government giftees include Prime Minister Anthony Albanese as well as every member
of his 22-person Cabinet, his seven-person Outer Ministry and all 12 assistant ministers.
While most politicians declared their Qantas’ privileges as a
‘gift’, Labor MP Marion Scrymgour listed her membership as
her ‘Chairman Lounge entitlement’.
Daily Mail Australia in August revealed that nearly every single federal politician in the country has
accepted free membership of Qantas’ exclusive Chairman’s Lounge.
And it’s not just politicians on the take, with more
than 60 MPs — including Marles, Chalmers, King, Bill Shorten, Zali Steggall and Tanya Plibersek — disclosing
their spouses have also been granted unfettered, independent access to
Qantas’ luxurious members only lounge.
Often touted as ‘the most exclusive club in the country’,
membership to the Chairman’s Lounge has long been veiled in secrecy.
Even the entrances to each of the country’s six opulent VIP clubs — in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Canberra and Perth airports — are suitably discreet.
Though, once inside, the designer lounges are immediately more ostentatious, with free à la carte fine dining, table service,
a decadent selection of wines and Champagne and a discreet army of dedicated lounge attendants.
Membership to the club is ‘priceless’ — it cannot
be bought for any amount of money nor obtained via any amount of
frequent flyers points.
Instead, each member is hand-picked and approved by the company’s
chief executive and chairman.

SHANGHAI, Oct 9 (Reuters) — China’s yuan held steady against the U.S.
dollar on Wednesday, as investors awaited more stimulus
from the world’s second-largest economy and the Federal
Reserve’s September meeting minutes due later in the day to gauge
its policy path. The dollar held steady, giving some relief to
the yuan after a sharp rally to a seven-week high last week.
Spot yuan opened at 7.0650 per dollar and
was last trading 12 pips lower than the previous late session close at 7.066.
Prior to the market opening, the People’s Bank of China (PBOC)
set the midpoint rate, around which the yuan is allowed to trade in a 2% band, at 7.0568 per dollar, only 3 pips weaker than a
Reuters’ estimate.
China’s blue-chip CSI300 index dropped for the
first time since Sept. 13, poised to snapping a 10-day winning
streak, after officials on Tuesday failed to offer much new on stimulus plans to revive
the economy. The yuan is down 0.7% against the dollar
so far this month, due to broad dollar strength,
but the currency has 0.5% firmed for the year-to-date.
China equities’ recent rally has raised the bar for an upside
surprise from expected fiscal stimulus news, said UBS strategists led by Rohit
Arora, adding that the offshore yuan’s near-term risk reward is unattractive.
«Historically, fizzling of China equities’ spurts acted as a bigger drag on CNH vis-à-vis the tailwinds from equities’ surge,» the strategists
said.
Nevertheless, market participants are still awaiting additional stimulus measures that could help further lift China asset sentiment.
Citi FX traders think the offshore yuan could trade well if
local equities remain supported, similar to what happened in Nov.
2022 — Jan. 2023, according to the bank’s note to clients.
The offshore yuan traded at 7.0682 yuan per dollar,
up about 0.09% in Asian trade. The dollar’s six-currency

Russell Crowe has argued that the rise of independent politicians
are better representing the views of everyday Australians, unlike
the two-party-dominated system in the United States.
The Oscar-winning actor made the claim in response
to podcast host Joe Rogan complaining that Americans were ‘completely
trapped in the two-party system’.
‘We have the same sort of situation, but we have a very interesting thing that’s happening in Australia at the moment, which
is the rise of independents,’ Crowe countered.
‘The main parties have to deal with the fact those independents have to bring a non-party-line series of points to the argument.
‘And it’s working well. It’s working for us. In that
it’s making both of the main parties re-examine who they are
and what they stand for.
Rogan mused ‘we could use that here, for sure’, highlighting how US politics is completely dominated by the
Democrat and Republican parties.
There are other parties, including the Green, Libertarian, and Reform parties, but these receive vanishingly few
votes in comparison.
Independent candidates can also stand and have
been known to perform well on occasion.
The Oscar-winning actor (pictured ) made the observation in response
to podcast host Joe Rogan who complained that Americans
were ‘completely trapped in the two-party system’
Joe Rogan (pictured) is one of the most powerful media figures in the world
Civil rights opponent George Wallace ran a third-party campaign in the 1968
US election which saw him garner 10 million votes and take five southern states,
while another disaffected Democrat, Strom Thurmond, in 1948 carried four southern states on a
similarly racist platform but with only a million votes.
The nephew of a president, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., was poised to get on the ballot in dozens of states
as an independent candidate before he pulled out and backed
Republican Donald Trump.
He has now been appointed Health secretary in Trump’s incoming cabinet.
Trump himself had previously belonged to the Reform Party.
The former New York property developer had even considered
running for president in the 2000 election under the banner of that movement — formed by former third-party presidential candidate
Ross Perot, who won 19 per cent of the popular vote in 1992 but
gained no electoral college votes.
Perot was the most popular minority party candidate since former Republican president Teddy Roosevelt in 1912 ran as the Bull Moose
Party candidate — carrying six states including California and coming second ahead of Republican William Taft.
Australia has seen a rise in recent years
of nominally independent politicians who have taken votes away from the
two traditional parties of Labor and the Liberal-National coalition
This situation is helped by a strong Green party who now have
12 senators and four members in the House
of Representatives.
Zali Steggall (pictured) became the first ‘teal’ independent to achieve huge success when she ousted former prime minister Tony Abbott in his seat
in Sydney’s northern beaches at the 2019 election
Meanwhile, independent candidates who run on strong climate
platforms but are fiscally conservative have been labelled
‘teal’ candidates.
This is because they have combined their ‘green’ views on climate
with the traditional ‘blue’ approach of the centre-right Liberal Party on economics.
Zali Steggall became the first teal independent to
achieve huge success when she ousted former prime minister Tony
Abbott in his seat in Sydney’s northern beaches at the 2019 election.
In similar fashion, Monique Ryan won the traditionally Liberal seat from former treasurer Josh Frydenberg at the 2022 election.
She was one of seven teals elected, swelling the lower house crossbench to 16, with this
tally including the four Greens, three conservative independents and progressives Andrew Wilkie and Helen Haines.
Crowe’s three-hour conversation with Rogan, which was first
aired in August, has recently resurfaced in teal social media adverts.
They are being pushed by Melbourne philanthropist Simon Holmes à Court, who founded Climate
200, which has given campaign funding to some teal candidates.
Not all the 12 independents elected in 2022 were teals,
however.

And, of course, maverick Bob Katter who has just celebrated
50 years in parliament, spending 20 years as a Queensland state MP before serving the past three decades in federal parliament as the MP for the regional far north Queensland
electorate of Kennedy.
Among his many mad-hat policies over the years include a bid to
teach school kids how to fire rifles and a desire to build a missile shield across northern Australia.
The House of Representatives crossbench grew to 17 in late 2022 when Andrew Gee quit the Nationals in protest at its opposition to the
Indigenous Voice to Parliament.
The Greens and independents make up 11 per cent of the 151-member lower house — the highest proportion of non major party MPs since Federation in 1901.

SHANGHAI, Dec 6 (Reuters) — The yuan was little changed on Friday against the dollar, but is headed for its tenth straight weekly loss amid
concerns that new tariff threatened by President-elect Donald
Trump will heighten strains on the struggling Chinese economy.
Analysts expect the dollar to remain firm as Trump’s policies are
expected to drive up U.S. inflation, but they believe
Beijing will prevent the yuan from falling too much.
«We anticipate some depreciation pressure in an expected strong dollar environment,» Lynn Song,
Greater China chief economist at ING, said in a note.
However, «we don’t expect an intentional large-scale depreciation and think the yuan will remain a low-volatility currency vis-à-vis most other Asian currencies.» The yuan was changing hands at 7.2549 per dollar around midday, little moved
from the previous close.
Although the currency has rebounded from a one-year low of 7.2996 hit on Tuesday, it is poised to register
its longest weekly losing streak since 2018. The dollar
index fell to one-week low overnight and «the USD’s consolidation should unwind the upside pressure building» in the yuan, aided by ongoing attempts by China’s central bank to restrain its decline, said Alvin Tan, strategist at RBC Capital Markets.
Recent data has painted a mixed picture of China’s economic recovery, with manufacturing activities improving, but property sales in many Chinese cities remaining weak.
China’s «economic landscape is unarguably dull, and the absence of excitement is perhaps the most salient feature,» said John Browning, managing director of BANDS Financial.
He doesn’t expect huge stimulus to be announced during next
week’s Central Economic Work Conference, as «Beijing’s largesse will be reserved until after Trump is restored to the White House and the trade war formally begins.» Top policymakers will gather at the conference to agree on major economic goals for next year.
But the target for 2025 growth, one of the most closely-watched indicators globally for clues of Beijing’s near-term policy intentions, likely will not
be officially announced until an annual parliament meeting in March.
During Trump’s first term as president, the yuan weakened about 5% against the
dollar after the initial round of U.S.
tariffs on Chinese goods in 2018, and fell another 1.5% a year later when trade tensions escalated.
Growth worries and expectations of further monetary
easing by Beijing pushed China’s 10-year treasury yields below 2% to record lows this
week, worsening the yield disadvantage against the U.S., and exerting downward pressure on the yuan. ING’s Song expects
the onshore yuan to move within a band between 7.00-7.40 per dollar, but could fall further to
7.50 «if tariffs come in earlier or more aggressive than our forecasts.» LEVELS

Celine Dion had a hilarious reaction to her hit,
My Heart Will Go On, in a new video this week.
The iconic songstress, 56, who is best known for the 1997 Titanic soundtrack song, was seen attempting
to stream her rendition of Edith Piaf’s Hymne à l’amour — but Siri failed to understand her
and instead suggested My Heart Will Go On.
In the clip, Dion says: ‘Hey Siri, play Hymne
à l’amour by Céline Dion?’ with Siri responding:
‘I cannot find that track by Céline Dion but here is My
Heart Will Go On. »
A frustrated Dion said: ‘No! Hello, No, no, no, Hey Siri, can you play Hymne à l’amour by Céline Dion please?’
Again, Siri replied: ‘I cannot find that track by Céline Dion but here is My Heart Will Go On.’

native, 38, is releasing a single titled Disease, set

real name is Stefani Germanotta, sported a black mane as
she ran from it.

Joker: Folie À Deux is branded ‘bleak’ and the ‘most disappointing follow-up’ by critics
The singer, whose hits include Bad Romance, Born This Way, Just Dance and Poker Face, is
headed back to her pop persona following the September
release of her album Harlequin, which was inspired by Joker:
Folie à Deux.
Among the tracks on the album included two new songs,
and standards such as That’s Entertainment, That’s Life and Get Happy.
Like the film, it was not an initial commercial success, marking her lowest ever entry for a full-length record on the
Billboard 200 charts at number 20.
Lady Gaga in the movie played the role of Harley Quinn
opposite Joaquin Phoenix, who earned the Best Actor Oscar for his performance
in the franchise’s 2019 film Joker.
According to the outlet, Joker: Folie à Deux ‘could
potentially lose $150 to $200 million’ despite studio insiders saying it
would break even.
The Warner Bros. film has made $192.2 million worldwide,
with $56.6 million in domestic box office revenue, according to Box Office Mojo.

Some fans have said that despite the film’s initial failure financially and
with critics, it will be looked upon favorably years from
now.
Lady Gaga has had some commercial success in recent months with her pairing with Bruno Mars on Die With a Smile, which was released
in August, landing in the third spot on Billboard’s Hot 100.
In 2020, she put out the studio album Chromatica, which initially landed in the top spot upon its debut and included the hit single Rain on Me, a collaboration with Ariana Grande.

discuss the importance of measuring variability for managerial decision making
Tim Dillon, who makes a brief appearance in Joker: Folie à Deux, has described the new sequel
as ‘terrible’ and ‘the worst film ever made’.
The follow-up to the Oscar-winning 2019 film, starring Joaquin Phoenix as Arthur
Fleck (Joker) and Lady Gaga as Lee Quinzel (Harley Quinn),
faced negative reviews from critics before its October 4 release and flopped at
the box office.
Tim, 39, who played a guard at Arkham Asylum in the
movie, said Todd Philips’s new film has ‘no plot’ and admitted he knew it
was ‘going to bomb’ while filming.
Speaking on The Joe Rogan Experience podcast, Tim said: ‘It’s the worst film ever
made.
‘I think what happened, after the first Joker, there was a lot of talk
like, ‘Oh, this was loved by incels. This was loved by the wrong kinds of people.
This sent the wrong kind of message. Male rage! Nihilism!
All these think pieces.

The follow-up to the Oscar-winning 2019 film, starring Joaquin Phoenix as Arthur Fleck

Quinn), faced negative reviews from critics before
its October 4 release and flopped at the box office
‘And then I think, ‘What if we went the other way,
‘ and now they have Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga tap dancing to a point
where it’s insane.’
He continued: ‘It has no plot. We would sit there, me and these other
guys were all dressed in these security outfits because we’re working at the Arkham Asylum, and I
would turn to one of them and we’d hear this crap
and I’d go, ‘What the f*** is this?’ And they’d go, ‘This is going to bomb, man.’
I go, ‘This is the worst thing I’ve ever seen.’
‘We were talking about it at lunch, and we’d go, ‘What is the plot?
Is there a plot? I don’t know, I think he falls
in love with her in the prison?’ It’s not even hate-watchable.
That’s how terrible it is.’
Despite the negative reviews a number of fans of the sequel
took to social media after its release last month to defend the sequel to Todd Phillips’ 2019 motion picture.
The film debuted to a paltry $40 million at the domestic box office, good enough for the weekend’s top spot, but less than projections, and half
that of its predecessor.
Amid the early returns, a number of fans took up for the
movie and its cinematic depth, in breaking away from the cookie cutter nature of sequels to introduce a musical element not present in the first film, with Lady Gaga
joining the franchise.
‘Joker 2 was amazing,’ one user said, adding that it was ‘100% as
divisive as people are making it out to be. I love that the film didn’t try to be a traditional sequel, and fully
committed to the storytelling they presented. It never deviated to be a film full of Easter eggs or any other crowd pleasing aspects.’
Another user said, ‘I kinda loved Joker 2. I loved how
it was structured as a meta-exploration of the
first film’s fandom and the musical elements were a lot of fun.’

One user marvelled that Joker 2 is ‘getting universal hate despite
being more interesting and creative than anything marvel has done in years is expected.’
It comes after lead star Lady Gaga was left ‘disappointed’ at the
immense flood of negative reactions to Joker: Folie à Deux, with
the singer’s team now keen to quickly push out other projects to
help distract from the furore over the film, insiders claim.
Todd Phillips‘ sequel has bombed, raking in just under $40 million at the
domestic box office, and receiving the lowest CinemaScore in comic book
movie history.
Gaga, 38, is reportedly confused at the lack of love for her
turn as Harleen Lee Quinzel, aka Harley Quinn, alongside Joaquin Phoenix,
49, as the Joker — a role that won him the best actor Oscar in 2019
— in the wake of the standing ovation it received at the
Venice Film Festival last month.
‘Gaga is surprised by the response to Joker 2 and
is shocked that people don’t love it after the response it received from critics before it premiered,’ a source exclusively
told DailyMail.com.
‘She put so much heart into the movie and has so much respect for the DC comics fan base.’
They added: ‘Her team is quietly looking
at other projects they can roll out as they want to move on this from as quickly as possible.’

But despite the lacklustre reception from fans, a second source claimed she is not letting it
deter her from returning to the big screen, with the singer said to be
eyeing up a Quentin Tarantino movie.
‘She is disappointed that Joker is pretty much a bomb,’ they said.
‘She thought that this film could get her an Oscar nomination, especially since the first film was such
a success and Joaquin won an Oscar.
‘She would now like to land a role in Quentin Tarantino’s next and
final film. Nobody knows what that is going to be, but she wants to
audition.
‘She’s going to lobby hard to get a meeting with him once a
script is presented, it is a bucket list moment for her
to be involved.’

LUXEMBOURG, Oct 7 (Reuters) — Germany’s economic model is not broken but Europe’s biggest economy has
lost competitiveness over the past decade, German Finance Minister Christian Lindner said on Monday.
«We can’t be satisfied with the economic developments in Germany,» he told journalists ahead of a Eurogroup meeting.
The German economy is expected to contract by 0.2% in 2024, an economy
ministry spokesperson said on Monday, cutting the forecast from a previous
projection of 0.3% growth this year.
If realised, this would be the second consecutive year of contraction for Germany’s
economy, which was the weakest among its large euro zone peers last year with a 0.3%
decline in gross domestic product.
Lindner said the government was introducing supply-side measures to
try to return the economy to growth.
«After these reforms, Germany will have more competitiveness again,»
Lindner said, adding that the growth initiative was just a first step for an economic turnaround, «but we have to build on it.»
AMBITION NEEDED
Lindner said «ambition» was needed to keep EU public finances in order,
or to put them back in order where necessary.
«I can only encourage everyone to implement structural reforms and to make unpopular decisions,» Lindner said.
«What seems to be unpopular at the moment is the willingness to take responsibility for the next generation and for the stability of the European Union as a whole.»
Lindner said he could not comment on the French budget plans because he had not had the chance to talk with his French colleagues yet, but he would do so on Monday evening.
«We should all realise that the credibility of public finances vis-à-vis the capital markets is not to be trifled with,» Lindner said.
«We must credibly reduce our deficits and our debt so that we can continue to finance ourselves well and in a stable manner.»

Joker: Folie À Deux director Todd Phillips ‘wanted nothing to do
with DC’ during making of the $200million flop film, a new report has claimed.
The hotly-anticipated sequel to the 2019 billion dollar Oscar-winning film — stars Joaquin Phoenix
and Lady Gaga and was considered a surefire
hit for Warner Bros Pictures — but was slammed by critics and failed to ignite at the box office.
The sequel has been roundly criticized for being a musical and ‘ignoring’ the DC fanbase — with an agent familiar with Phillips’ process
telling Variety he ‘wanted nothing to do with DC’ during the making of the film,
with DC bosses James Gunn and Peter Safran notably absent from the film’s LA premiere afterparty last month.
A source said: ‘If the first movie was about some down-on-his-luck, mentally ill guy in a downtrodden city,
it makes maybe $150 [million] worldwide. Not a billion. People showed up because that
guy was Joker.’
In an apparent snub by Phillips, the opening sequence of the film does not include a DC Studios logo.
On Rotten Tomatoes, the movie currently holds an audience score
of 31% and a critic score of 32%
The hotly-anticipated sequel to the 2019 billion dollar Oscar-winning film — stars Joaquin Phoenix
and Lady Gaga — seen with Phillips last month — and was
considered a surefire hit for Warners Bros Pictures — but was slammed
by critics and failed to ignite at the box
office
A DC spokesman said Gunn was directing the Max series Peacemaker in Atlanta, which had lost a day of production due to Hurricane
Helene, while Safran was sick.

Joker: Folie À Deux is branded ‘bleak’ and the ‘most disappointing follow-up’ by critics
A Warner spokesman added that a DC logo appears at the end of the
Joker sequel. while Phillips declined to comment to the publication.
Several frictions are said to have developed between Phillips,
DC and Warner- with claims that Michael DeLuca, Chairperson of Warner Bros.
Entertainment, and CEO Pamela Abdy seemed ‘unwilling’ to say no to Phillips due to his huge past successes.
It is claimed Phillips would ‘only’ speak with
DeLuca and Abdy rather than Gunn and Safran — who took control of
DC two months before production began on Joker 2 in December 2022.
Gunn and Safran did attend the first director’s cut
screening for the studio but Phillips fueled rift speculation when he told a reporter:
‘With all due respect to them, this is kind
of a Warner Bros. movie.’
Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav also met with Phillips shortly after WarnerMedia and
Discovery merged in April 2022 and was ‘open to filming in Los Angeles if the
director would make the sequel at a lower price point.’
The studio wanted to film in London which would have cost around 20 per cent
less.
However, Phillips insisted on filming in LA with the budget remaining static.
The sequel has been roundly criticized for being a musical and ‘ignoring’ the DC fanbase — with an agent familiar with Phillips’ process telling Variety he
‘wanted nothing to do with DC’ during the

LA premiere afterparty last month
A Warner spokesman told the publication the studio ‘supported the decision to film
in Los Angeles’.
A source directly involved with the film said:
‘No one could get through to Todd. And the one thing about genre stuff:
If you don’t listen and pay attention to what the fan expectations are, you’re going to fail.
Insiders also claim studio bosses did not want to premiere the film at
the Venice Film Festival, but Phillips pushed back — with a Warner spokesman saying the studio ‘fully supported
the decision to bring the film to Venice.
Joker: Folie À Deux has garnered the lowest CinemaScore in comic book movie history as the film bombed at the box office on opening night.
It has only made $114million worldwide against its $200million budget.
The psychological musical thriller — which has been criticized as ‘bleak’ and ‘disappointing’ — officially released in theaters on Friday, October 4, but it
only raked in $20 million at the domestic box office, per The Hollywood Reporter.
Phoenix reprised his role as the Joker in the sequel,
which had earned him an Oscar for his portrayal in the 2019
film, while Gaga took on the role of Harleen Lee Quinzel (Harley Quinn).
However, Joker: Folie À Deux has been given a D rating on CinemaScore — the lowest score
for a comic book movie.
Madame Web — which notably also flopped in theaters earlier this year and also received terrible reviews — holds a higher score with
a C+.
On Rotten Tomatoes, the movie currently holds an audience score of 31% and a critic score of 32%.
The sequel is projected to rake in less that $50 million at the domestic box office during the entirety of opening weekend, per The Hollywood Reporter.
Weeks ago, the movie had been projected to bring in around $70 million — but the number has since drastically dropped.
Joker (2019) notably opened with $96.2 million when the film first released in theaters —
and eventually landed a little over $1 billion in the global
box office.
The first movie — which was also directed
by Todd Phillips — had a budget of between $55 and $70 million. However, the
budget increased for Folie À Deux to around $200 million.
The 2019 movie garnered praise and positive reviews from both critics
and audiences — and won the Golden Lion during the 76th Venice International Film Festival.
Joaquin received an Oscar for Best Actor for his portrayal of the
Joker (Arthur Fleck) — and the film garnered an additional Academy Award for Best Original Score.
The sequel also screened during the Venice International
Film Festival last month in September, where it earned a 12-minute standing ovation, per Deadline.
A source directly involved with the film
said: ‘No one could get through to Todd. And the one thing about genre stuff:
If you don’t listen and pay attention to what the fan expectations are, you’re going to fail.
However, audiences have since taken to X after the movie released
in theaters on Friday — and shared their opinions on the sequel, which features musical sequences.
One fan penned, ‘Joaquin Phoenix don’t deserve
this. what happened to the script?’ while another added, ‘is it that bad,’ followed
by a crying face emoji.
‘Ironically I feel that a musical, if done well, could have
been a good choice. It’d show how much of an unreliable
narrator Fleck is,’ one typed.
‘But with some original songs, that keep everything vague, not just covers.
Also when I heard of the ending I snorted fr.’
A social media user wrote, ‘Stop making sequels as musicals if the original wasn’t a musical.’
‘Maybe he [Phillips] only had an hour long movie,
and decided to randomly add musical scenes to fill the runtime,
‘ one penned.
‘Joker downfall really needs to be studied,’ another shared, along with a monkey staring out
a window.
One fan said, ‘the movie sucks. i had to walk out of the
cinema,’ while another penned, ‘After years of disagreement….*Joker 2 releases* Critics [shaking hands]
Audience.’
However, audiences have since taken to X after the movie released in theaters on Friday — and shared their opinions over the
sequel, which was also a musical
‘Ironically I feel that a musical, if done well, could
have been a good choice. It’d show how much of an unreliable narrator Fleck is,’ one typed
‘Joker downfall really needs to be studied,’ another
shared, along with a monkey staring out a window
‘That’s way below what we expected,’ one wrote in regards to the current Rotten Tomatoes scores.
‘People are saying this is the worst sequel ever.’
A fan explained, ‘yea this film was bad. it was pretentious and dull.
has the aesthetic of an arthouse film without
the substance.’
‘It also insults the audience’s intelligence. the songs were also underwhelming too.
they shouldn’t have let this escape to theaters.’
One shared, ‘The audience that loved the first movie is not the same audience running to see musicals.
This was a gigantic mistake from step 1.’
During an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Phillips discussed whether he would be interested in making a third Joker film or a movie
centered around Gaga’s character.
‘It’s not really where this movie is headed for me. I feel like my time in the DC Universe was these
two films.’
Ahead of the movie’s release, Lady Gaga also dropped an accompanying
album titled Harlequin on September 27.
Joker: Folie À Deux has been branded the ‘most
disappointing follow-up to the Oscar-winning movie’ by critics,
as they cast doubt on Lady Gaga’s ‘thin’ role in the film following its
release on Friday.

Rotten Tomatoes scores. ‘People are saying this is the worst sequel ever’
A fan explained, ‘yea this film was bad. it was pretentious and dull.

The ‘bleak’ sequel, has also received a tepid reception from
fans, with some claiming Lady Gaga’s career could be at risk.
While the same director Todd Phillips was back in the hot seat, critics have said the sequel is
just a ‘repeat’ of the first hit but with an added musical twist.
Most critics have said Todd failed to use Gaga correctly
in the movie and claimed she was only bought in for the musical aspect of it.
While the majority of critics say Joker: Folie À Deux didn’t live
up to expectations, others have dubbed the movie ‘bold’ and ‘brilliant.’
Daily Mail’s Brian Viner commended the move as ‘bold’ and ‘brilliant’ but said it lacked any
thrill.
The Independent’s Geoffrey Macnab said: ‘Today Joker
is best remembered as one of the most subversive
and original films of the last decade, while its hugely anticipated sequel is just as bleak and formally daring as its predecessor’.
Meanwhile, the Irish Times’ Donald Clarke gave the movie just two
stars but credited Phillips’ work for making a sequel following the first movie’s $1billion success.
Financial Times critic Danny Leigh said although Gaga worked hard to
bump the ratings up in the sequel, Phillips appeared to have no
idea what to do with her.
Giving a three star rating, The Guardian’s Peter
Bradshaw claimed the movie proves ‘claustrophobic’
and ‘repetitive.’
Joker: Folie À Deux has been branded the ‘most
disappointing follow-up to the Oscar-winning movie’ by critics,
as they cast doubt on Lady Gaga’s ‘thin’ role in the film following its release on Friday; seen in September in London
The Times’ Kevin Maher wrote: ‘The director Todd
Phillips said there would be no follow-up to the original, but he changed his mind and the result is a derivative musical’
‘This might be the most disappointing follow-up to an Oscar-winning performance
since Anthony Hopkins reworked his silky and terrifying Dr Lecter from for the campy, kitschy.’
Along with Lady Gaga and Joaquin Phoenix, other stars
that had appeared in the sequel include Brendan Gleeson, Catherine Keener,
Zazie Beatz and Steve Coogan.
Joker: Folie à Deux has faced additional backlash from fans as they have claimed that Gaga is running
the risk of losing her acting career.

Beyonce went topless as she paid homage to iconic
duo Prince and Apollonia in her latest Halloween costume.
The superstar, 43, took to Instagram on Friday with her second look from
spooky season, after previously dressing up as Betty Davis.
She channeled both the late Purple Rain hitmaker and his protégée turned lover, Mexican model Patricia
‘Apollonia’ Kotero.
While roleplaying Apollonia, the Single Ladies hitmaker sizzled
in a plunging black lace bustier under an open tuxedo jacket, before taking it off and posing in nothing but metallic purple gloves.
Meanwhile her version of Prince consisted of a purple coat with a
white frilly shirt, black lace underwear, and a matching purple guitar.

Beyonce goes braless for Betty Davis Halloween transformation
‘PURPLE NASTY,’ she captioned the post, along with a purple heart emoji.
Another snap saw the star close-up, as she
showed off her sensational figure in the low-cut bodysuit.
The mom-of-three paired the outfit with thigh-high purple boots.
She wore raven curly tresses that cascaded down her
shoulders, and accessorized her Apollonia look with a chunky diamond necklace.
She followed it up with her as Prince sitting
on a vintage red car and holding up her
guitar, while sporting a short curly-hair look.
Her fans went wild for the outfits, with one writing: ‘ROCK ERA LOADING

Khloe Kardashian left a number of purple heart emojis on the post.
‘Beyonrock,’ another fan added.
Apollonia had the lead female role in Prince’s 1984 film
Purple Rain, where she starred as Apollonia 6, which also became the
name of her girl band.
Appollonia and Prince parted ways in 1985 but she managed to stay
in the spotlight with a role on the soap Falcon Crest
and in 1988 the release of an eponymous album.

It is not clear when Apollonia’s relationship with Prince began or ended as he was
dating another one of the stars of Purple Rain during the making of the film,
Susan Moonsie.
Prince and Beyonce famously joined forces onstage at the 2004 Grammy Awards,
performing a medley that included his iconic 1984 single
Purple Rain.
Their duet also included her fan favorite number Crazy In Love,
which saw him accompany her on the electric guitar.
Afterwards, Prince gave an interview in which he shared
his appraisal of Beyonce’s musical abilities when they worked together.
‘I was really curious as to how much she knew musically, and I was really pleased to
find out that she knew a lot about scales — Mixolydian scales and Egyptian styles
and different things like that,’ he said.
‘And I was just trying to show her some chords on the piano and help her to respect
the fact that if she learns piano à la Aretha Franklin and
Ray Charles and things like that, the sky’s the limit as to what she could do,
’cause she’s so very talented.’
Prince died of an accidental overdose in 2016 at the
age of just 57.
Earlier this year Beyonce posted a heartwarming Instagram
montage of herself wearing a t-shirt promoting Prince on what
would have been his 66th birthday.

Tim Dillon, who makes a brief appearance in Joker: Folie à
Deux, has described the new sequel as ‘terrible’ and ‘the worst film ever made’.
The follow-up to the Oscar-winning 2019 film, starring Joaquin Phoenix as Arthur Fleck (Joker)
and Lady Gaga as Lee Quinzel (Harley Quinn), faced negative reviews from critics before its October 4 release and flopped at the box office.
Tim, 39, who played a guard at Arkham Asylum in the movie,
said Todd Philips’s new film has ‘no plot’ and admitted
he knew it was ‘going to bomb’ while filming.
Speaking on The Joe Rogan Experience podcast, Tim said: ‘It’s the worst film ever made.
‘I think what happened, after the first Joker, there was a lot of talk like,
‘Oh, this was loved by incels. This was loved by the wrong kinds of people.
This sent the wrong kind of message. Male rage!
Nihilism! All these think pieces.
Tim Dillon, who makes a brief appearance in Joker: Folie à Deux, has described
the new sequel as ‘terrible’ and ‘the worst film ever made’
The follow-up to the Oscar-winning 2019 film, starring Joaquin Phoenix as Arthur Fleck (Joker) and Lady
Gaga as Lee Quinzel (Harley Quinn), faced negative reviews from
critics before its October 4 release and flopped at the box office
‘And then I think, ‘What if we went the other way,’ and now they have Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga tap
dancing to a point where it’s insane.’
He continued: ‘It has no plot. We would sit there, me and these other guys were all dressed in these security
outfits because we’re working at the Arkham Asylum, and I would
turn to one of them and we’d hear this crap and I’d
go, ‘What the f*** is this?’ And they’d go, ‘This is going
to bomb, man.’ I go, ‘This is the worst thing I’ve ever seen.’
‘We were talking about it at lunch, and we’d go, ‘What is the plot?
Is there a plot? I don’t know, I think he falls in love with her
in the prison?’ It’s not even hate-watchable. That’s how terrible it is.’
Despite the negative reviews a number of fans of the sequel took to
social media after its release last month to defend the sequel
to Todd Phillips’ 2019 motion picture.
The film debuted to a paltry $40 million at the domestic box office, good enough for the weekend’s
top spot, but less than projections, and half that of its predecessor.
Amid the early returns, a number of fans took up for the movie and its
cinematic depth, in breaking away from the cookie cutter nature of sequels to introduce a musical element
not present in the first film, with Lady Gaga joining the franchise.
‘Joker 2 was amazing,’ one user said, adding that it was
‘100% as divisive as people are making it out to be.
I love that the film didn’t try to be a traditional sequel, and fully committed to the storytelling
they presented. It never deviated to be a
film full of Easter eggs or any other crowd pleasing aspects.’
Another user said, ‘I kinda loved Joker 2. I loved how it was structured as a
meta-exploration of the first film’s fandom and the musical elements were a lot
of fun.’

Despite the negative reviews a number of fans of the sequel took to social media after its release last
month to defend the sequel to Todd Phillips’
2019 motion picture
One user marvelled that Joker 2 is ‘getting universal hate despite being more interesting and creative than anything marvel has
done in years is expected.’
It comes after lead star Lady Gaga was left ‘disappointed’ at the immense flood of negative
reactions to Joker: Folie à Deux, with the singer’s team now keen to quickly push out other projects to help distract
from the furore over the film, insiders claim.
Todd Phillips‘ sequel has bombed, raking in just under $40
million at the domestic box office, and receiving the lowest
CinemaScore in comic book movie history.
Gaga, 38, is reportedly confused at the lack of love for her
turn as Harleen Lee Quinzel, aka Harley Quinn, alongside Joaquin Phoenix, 49,
as the Joker — a role that won him the best actor Oscar in 2019 — in the wake
of the standing ovation it received at the Venice Film Festival
last month.
‘Gaga is surprised by the response to Joker 2 and is shocked that people don’t love it after the response
it received from critics before it premiered,’ a source exclusively told DailyMail.com.
‘She put so much heart into the movie and has so much respect for the DC comics fan base.’
They added: ‘Her team is quietly looking at other projects they can roll out as they want to move on this from as quickly as possible.’

But despite the lacklustre reception from fans, a second source claimed
she is not letting it deter her from returning to the big screen,
with the singer said to be eyeing up a Quentin Tarantino movie.
‘She is disappointed that Joker is pretty much a bomb,’ they said.
‘She thought that this film could get her an Oscar nomination, especially since the first film was such a success and Joaquin won an Oscar.
‘She would now like to land a role in Quentin Tarantino’s next and final film.
Nobody knows what that is going to be, but she wants to audition.
‘She’s going to lobby hard to get a meeting with him
once a script is presented, it is a bucket list moment for her to be
involved.’

‘Tis the season of hosiery. Paired with a mini skirt and
a sequin blazer (we’re looking at you, Selena
Gomez), or styled with a little black dress and a pair of killer heels
(à la Alexa Chung at the Fashion Awards), tights and stockings are a great way to add style — and perhaps an extra layer of warmth — to your outfits during the autumn and winter months.
From matte to glossy, opaque to sheer, and black to skin-toned shades, there’s a lot
more to consider than just the denier number when it comes to picking
out a pair of classic tights. And then, of course,
there is also patterned hosiery (think delicate designs like
a back seam, polka dots or lace detailing) to
elevate your winter style.
‘Tis the season of hosiery
In 2024, tights should no longer be an obligation but a
fashion choice. Google searches for ‘tights’ are up by 115% since the temperatures first dropped, and at high-street favourite M&S two pairs
are sold every minute. So what styles are we buying?
The top spot is claimed by the retailer’s 60 Denier Body Sensor Tights
(a handy three-pack that sells for just £8 and is available in a
black, navy and brown). The 40 Denier Body Sensor Tights (£8 for a three-pack) are second
favourite, followed by the 30 Denier Body Sensor Tights
(£8 for a three-pack). The fourth most popular pair is the 60 Denier Magicwear Opaque Tights
(£14 for a two-pack), and the top five is rounded out by the 100 Denier Magicwear Opaque Tights
(£14 for a two-pack).
These are the number one selling tights at Marks & Spencer
M&S believes the decision between opaque and sheer tights should be based
on the formality of our outfit. ‘Opaque black tights will go with basically everything.
Often said to clash with black; blue or brown hues are also an option.’
‘Sheer tights are great for more formal occasions
and warmer temperatures, as they provide a lighter and more
breathable option,’ the high street giant added. ‘You can achieve that elegant, barely-there look with a little
extra coverage.’
Similarly, intricate patterns, logos and glitter are best suited for evening looks,
says M&S. ‘For a daytime or office look, stick with polka
dots or diamond patterned tights, or if you’re looking for
some added cosiness, try cable-knit tights for some subtle texture.’
Abbie Chatfield has shared a very telling throwback image of herself and boyfriend Adam Hyde,
six months before they went Instagram Official.
The veteran presenter, 29, and the Peking Duk frontman went public with
their relationship in June.
However another racy photo, taken before they became a
couple, captured Abbie and Adam waiting patiently together in a fast food line, with the presenter looking absolutely smitten over
the strapping musician.
Abbie had a huge smile on her face in the adorable
picture, as she gazed intensely at Adam as they chatted while waiting to order.
She captioned the picture: ‘One year and
two days since this iconic photo of me being in love with Adam.
‘Before we ever even slept together LMAO. «Nah, I don’t have a crush on him anymore».’

The podcast host was braless in the image, and her low-slung skirt showed plenty of skin.
Shortly after they went public with their relationship, Abbie opened up about her sex
life with her boyfriend in a candid and wide-ranging chat on her It’s A Lot podcast.
She appeared on the bonus Ask Me Anything episode with Adam, in which they
discussed their budding romance.
As the new couple fielded questions about their bond, musician Adam cheekily boasted about the couple’s sizzling chemistry.
It comes after Abbie revealed the sexual act she would never engage in with her boyfriend.
She recently opened up about the launch of her ‘kink kit’ sex toys and admitted
when it comes to bedroom fun, it’s strictly a two-person affair.

While she does fantasise about having a ménage à trois, Abbie admitted it’s something she could never actually go through with.
‘I have a fantasy about seeing my partner f*** someone else,’ she
told News Corp.
‘But I think I know in my heart that I don’t actually want to see it.
I just want to talk about it like, that’s something that I find hot.
But in reality, would I want to see that? Probably not.’
‘Whenever we get to a point where we’re like, «let’s have a threesome!», I’m like, «I don’t actually know if I’m gonna want to see that»,’ she continued.

Red takes center stage as the hottest color of the holiday season.
All red looks have been trending with the fashion set for some time, but after
Rihanna attended the Fenty Hair launch party in a monochromatic look
accessorized with multiple ruby baubles, red-on-red became cooler than ever.
The ‘Stay’ hitmaker donned a custom red leather Khaite jacket and skirt with ruby and diamond jewelry by Sabyasachi,
David Webb and Reza.
Monochromatic outfits, particularly in red, exude confidence and
sophistication.
With the vibrant color being synonymous with the holiday season, it’s a natural choice for
parties and festive gatherings.
By also accessorizing with ruby jewelry (à la Rihanna) you can add a touch
of luxury to even the simplest of separates.
Unlike your grandmother’s precious jewels, today’s ruby designs are
being reimagined by edgy jewelers that aren’t taking the gem so seriously.

Rubies are often referred to as the ‘king of gemstones’ and their vibrant color — caused
by the presence of chromium — is often associated with
passion, love, and power.
The name ‘ruby’ comes from the Latin word ‘ruber’ which means
red.
Rubies are incredibly sought after for their beauty and durability,
they are ranked 9 on the Mohs scale of hardness (qualitative scale that measures the relative hardness of minerals and other materials by their resistance to
scratching), second to diamonds.
Beyond their sparkle and strength, they have held
cultural significance for centuries.
Throughout history, rubies have been associated with nobility and
wealth, often adorning the crowns of kings and queens.
They are also believed to bring good fortune and protection to their wearer.
According to Melee the Show founders Lauren Wolf and Rebecca Overmann, ruby jewelry is on the rise.
The fine jewelry trade show connects buyers and designers, with the next shows
taking place in New York (February 1-3) and Tucson (February 5-7).
‘From bold gemstones to intricate craftsmanship, our designers bring rubies to life
in ways that inspire and captivate,’ said the duo.
Anthony Lent, Fannie Thomas, Heather Guidero, Jake Matluck,
Amali, Karin Jacobson, Marian Maurer and Ciara Bowles are some of the exhibiting designers who work
with rubies.

on solar power rather than paying humongous amounts
of money for electricity each month.
Lots of people today see the need to find alternative sources of electricity.
This method can be one of the best methods especially if you have adequate sunlight in your locality.

own panels without even employing additional help.
You can make your own panels and then install them
in your own home. Even a non-expert on carpentry and furnishing can be able to do so especially if you go by the step-by-step instructions given. You don’t only have
the chance to get free electricity but you also help save the natural resources from complete depletion.

What do pop star Lily Allen, Olympic gold medal-winning diver Jack Laugher, tennis
player Nick Kyrgios and 25-year-old Bonnie Blue from Nottingham,
who has filmed herself having sex with hundreds of 18-year-old students (and sometimes their
dads, too), all have in common?
Yes, you guessed it. They are all ‘creatives’ on OnlyFans, the adults-only online content provider
founded in 2016 by a young Essex businessman called
Tim Stokely, which is now one of the most visited
(and lucrative) websites in the world.
Just last month, Lily Allen caused a stir by revealing that she
makes more money charging $10 (£8) — the site works in dollars — for
pictures of her feet on her OnlyFans account labelled ‘La Dolca Feeta’ than she does from her 7.5million monthly listeners on Spotify.
But Lily’s content is tame in comparison to much of the content on the site, the sort
company execs refer to as ‘spicy’. Everything from cheeky shots of
bottoms peeking out of bubble baths, blondes stirring vats of steaming pasta in G-strings, hot men waxing
cars in their pants, right through the sex spectrum to twosomes, threesomes, sixsomes and hardcore pornographic videos.
But also because, thanks to the allure of OnlyFans and the astonishing
sums that a teeny number of the platform’s 4.1million creatives are raking in, more and more young women (and it is mostly young women) who
would never have considered it before are suddenly happy to join in and sell photos of, well, pretty much
anything, to pay rent, settle credit card bills or splash out on nice holidays.
Basically, a flashier life all round.
‘We feel empowered. We have agency. It’s completely up to me if I take my top off or not,’ says one 21-year-old girl, who joined
a year ago and makes enough in a week to cover
a year’s student rent at Sheffield University
and prefers not to give her name.
‘And I am happy to do it because for once I make the rules, in the safety of my home and they’re paying me to do it.
It’s a mug’s game, but I am not the mug.’
For the benefit of those readers who are not among the site’s 305million users,
OnlyFans offers creators a platform where they can charge their fans a subscription fee ranging from $4.99 to
$49.99 a month to look at their content, contact them (or more often access their ‘chatter’ — more of which
later) and access often more explicit, personalised, ‘à la carte’ content through ‘tips’.
OnlyFans model Bonnie Blue has filmed herself having sex with hundreds of 18-year-olds
Rapper Cardi B is said to make $9million (£7.1million) a month from the site
Actress Bella Thorne, a former Disney child star, made a record-breaking $1million (£800,000) in 24 hours
‘Pay $10 to unlock this video’. ‘Click here for more spicy content’.
‘The more you pay, the more you see’. You get the gist.
In 2023, the site generated a record $6.6billion (£5.2billion), of which the company takes
a straight 20 per cent — much less than YouTube — and the rest goes to the ‘performers’.
It is unlike Instagram or other social media sites in that nothing is suggested — instead, you have to
search for, and then subscribe to, individual accounts
to see much more than profile pictures.
Which is a good thing, because while some of the
content is anodyne, much is highly sexual and many people on the
site can bob freely from one to another. Perhaps a cookery hack one day,
modelling new boots the next, then graduate to a few cheeky cleavage
and bikini shots and more, as the money becomes more tempting.
Every week, it seems, we hear of someone who has made millions.
Last month it was announced that American influencer Corinna Kopf had retired from the
site, aged 28, after making $67million (£53million). In her best month, she reportedly earned more than $2million (£1.6million).
Rapper Cardi B is said to earn more than $9million (£7.1million) a month from the site.
Meanwhile, Darcie Rattles was an out-of-work bricklayer with £6,000 in credit card
bills and debts when she joined OnlyFans
in 2022.
‘I was thinking: how the hell am I going to get to next week?
How am I going to pay my credit cards?’ she says in an online interview.
‘I’m young, I’ve got a good body and I’ve got a lot of followers.
It is what any girl would turn to. It had been in the back of mind for
two years, but then I did it.’
Within two days of launching, she had earned enough to pay off her debts.
Today, Darcie, who comes across as likeable, down-to-earth and
has no qualms about what she shares, claims to earn more than £250,000 a year.
Pop singer Lily Allen has discovered a niche market…
… she sells pictures of her feet for £8 and makes more money from her account
labelled ‘La Dolca Feeta’ than she does from her 7.5million monthly listeners on Spotify
‘It doesn’t matter to me whether I get my feet out, or my other bits out,’ she says.
Though it does tend to be the other bits, because Darcie’s content promises very few clothes and,
for those who pay extra, ‘a naughty side to me you’ve never seen before’.
But even Darcie seems like the girl next door compared to
Lily Phillips, a British model who earned £2,000 in her
first 24 hours on the site and recently went viral for sleeping with 101
men over a 14-hour period. She has since announced she is planning to
set a record of having sex with 1,000 men in 24 hours.
And Bonnie Blue, a beautiful blonde with a golden tan and
astonishingly white teeth, who has worked her way round Derby,
Nottingham, Cancun and Australia, sleeping with university students.
On one night during Nottingham Trent freshers’ week —
after publicising her stunt by wearing a sandwich board that
read: ‘Bonk me for free and let me film it’ — she had boys
queuing up from 6pm until five in the morning.
‘I got through them all,’ she said proudly in one interview in which she reminds us that, thanks to
OnlyFans, she has already banked more than £3 million — for which she was applauded by her followers
for her entrepreneurship.
But all that is chicken feed when you consider the £370 million dividend that company owner paid himself last year.
And these days that’s Leonid Radvinsky, who bought a majority stake from
Tim Stokely in 2018, two years after he started the business with the help of a loan from his father.
It was the Covid-era lockdowns that thrust OnlyFans into the stratosphere.
Everyone shut up at home, nothing to do. In 2020, it generated revenues of $2.23billion (£1.8billion).
By 2021, it was up to $4.8billion (£3.8billion). There was
a brief hiatus in October of that year when they tried banning sexually explicit content but that lasted about ten minutes before they switched back.
There have been plenty of scandals along the way.
A BBC investigation back in 2021 revealed that children were not just
accessing the material online by foxing the age verification process but
were also selling explicit videos on the website.
Leah, 17, had used a fake driving licence
to set up an OnlyFans account where she made £5,000 uploading revealing videos of herself.
There have also been claims of OnlyFans creators using public gyms and spaces to make adult content.
Recently there has been more concerns that the company is not
doing enough to protect minors.
OnlyFans, however, prefers to portray itself as a force
for good, with supporters arguing that it empowers people by allowing them to sell content
— over which they have full control — directly to consumers.
And many of the Gen Z generation seem to agree.
‘It’s fine. It’s empowering. It’s taking control,’ they cry, pointing
out that the site has loads of moderators and a tight security
system to ensure that all users are over 18.
And they say, anyway, that OnlyFans isn’t just about sex.
Of course, they’re right. It has long been awash with pneumatic reality TV stars and the
likes of Lottie Moss, Kerry Katona and Katie Price, who are happy to tease their
followers with a few cheeky peeks in skimpy bikinis.
I spend an afternoon browsing the site and, while it is not all ‘spicy’ content as the company
executives like to call it, everything is dripping with sauce and
promise.
The big lips, the push-up bras, even the way a pretty Spanish chef is holding
her paella pan. Company executives have been pushing hard to make the platform more mainstream — offering contracts and financial incentives to encourage musicians, sports
stars, cooks, anyone really, to come on and share a bit of
exclusive — or niche — content.
Really, anything that people will pay to look at — glimpses backstage at concerts.
Celebrities in the bath.
During the 2024 Olympic Games, a raft of athletes jumped on the
OnlyFans bandwagon to share pictures of their beautifully
toned bodies.
Along with Jack Laugher, Team NZ rower Robbie Manson uses the
site to share ‘exclusive content that tastefully explores the boundaries, including
artistic portrayals of nudity’ for $14.99 a month.
British speedskater
Olympic diver Jack Laugher is among a number of
sports stars using OnlyFans
Reality TV star Kerry Katona has also teased followers with content
Lottie Moss has also taken to the adults-only online content provider that was founded in 2016 and is used
by 4.1 million creatives
Elise Christie turned to the site when she found herself in financial difficulties.
All of which seems to be working well for them,
but it can be rather murkier for others.
Not least because, in less than a decade, OnlyFans has spawned an entire support industry of ‘sugar
daddies’ who support performers financially and ‘chatters’ who work
for them. ‘Sugar daddies’ tend to be older male businessmen who ‘invest’ in promising creatives.
In what are referred to rather murkily as ‘mutually beneficial deals’, they invest in branding and
marketing and videography to boost traffic.
Chatters are different. For the real stars, the traffic is so high and the
interaction with followers so demanding that if they had
to do it all themselves, there’s no way they would ever
have time to put their pyjamas back on.
So ‘chatters’ — a sort of online 21st-century Cyrano de
Bergerac — do that for them. Keeping them engaged, online, needy and most of all, spending, spending, spending for
more and more content.
Which means, of course, that the whole thing is a total scam.
The poor daft subscriber thinks he’s really making a connection with ‘Racy Tracey
from Twickenham’, but is more likely chatting to a middle-aged
father of three from the Philippines.
He will have learnt everything about Tracey — her favourite
colour, favourite animal and favourite position — have
studied a script that reminds him ‘it’s all about selling, selling, selling’, and will be being paid $4 an hour for his
efforts. Or the subscriber could just be talking to an AI bot —
which perhaps is more appealing.

EXCLUSIVE
A year after split, I’ve had a baby and got engaged, writes Mother Pukka ANNA WHITEHOUSE
Chatters can be dangerous. As Alanya, a paralegal
from Scotland, discovered when she learned that one
of her most enthusiastic followers had travelled to her home town to find her, encouraged by her chatter.
‘My chatter told him that I loved him. I would never, ever have said
that,’ she said.
But, sadly, chatters, sugar daddies and stalkers are not a
problem for most creatives. Almost all of whom
are still struggling to make any proper money, however
many clothes they take off.
They will never know the clout of Cardi B, or Lily Allen, or former Disney child star Bella Thorne, who famously
made a record- breaking $1million (£800,000) in 24 hours when she joined in August 2020.
(Though initially there was some confusion as to whether she would be appearing nude or not.
She did not — which caused quite a rumpus.)
Because, unlike celebrities who can redirect their existing social media followers to their OnlyFans accounts, most people find it hard to grab attention without
doing something, well, grabby.
So, despite all the tales of golden riches, the average earnings of
an OnlyFans creative is still just $150 (£118) a month and,
with the market now so flooded, is only
likely to go one way.
And it’s easy to see how, if you’re a young woman who has convinced yourself that you’re in control, empowered and
mistress of your own destiny, you could find yourself moving inevitably and inexorably up (or perhaps down) the scale, revealing more and more.
Until, before you know it, like Bonnie Blue and
Lily Phillips, you’ve kept nothing back for yourself.

Do Greens and crossbenchers who claim that transparency and integrity is at the heart of their reason for entering
Parliament in the first place hear themselves?
In the past few days they have mounted self-serving arguments against proposed electoral reforms that the major parties
look set to come together to support.
The reforms include caps for how much money wealthy individuals
can donate, caps on the amount candidates can spend in individual electorates to prevent the equivalent
of an arms race, and a $90million limit on what any party can spend at an election — actually less than the major parties currently spend.
The proposed new laws also include lower disclosure thresholds for donations, thus increasing the transparency of
who makes political donations in the first place.
So the wealthy wont be able to hide behind anonymity while using their cash to influence
election outcomes — and the extent to which they can use their wealth at all will be limited.
The bill will further improve transparency by also increasing the speed and frequency
that disclosures of donations need to be made.
At present we have the absurd situation in which donations
get made — but you only find out the details of who has given what
to whom many months later, well after elections are won and lost.
In other words, what is broadly being proposed will result in much greater transparency and far less big money being injected into campaigning
by the wealthy.
Teal Kylea Tink claimed the major parties were ‘running scared’ with the policy and warned the reform would
‘not stop the rot’
Greens senate leader Larissa Waters (left) fired a warning shot —
saying if it serves only the major parties ‘it’s a rort, not reform’. Teal independent ACT senator David Pocock (right)
said: ‘What seems to be happening is a major-party stitch-up’
Anyone donating more than $1,000 to a political party, as opposed to $16,000 under the current
rules, will need to disclose having done so. And how much they can donate will
be capped.
Yet the Greens and Teals have quickly condemned the proposed new laws, labeling them a ‘stitch-up’, ‘outrageous’
and ‘a rort, not a reform’.
They have lost their collective minds after finding out that Labor’s proposal just might secure the support of the opposition.
I had to double check who was criticising what exactly before even starting to write this
column.
Because I had assumed — incorrectly — that these important transparency
measures stamping out the influence of the wealthy must have been proposed by the virtue-signalling Greens or
the corruption-fighting Teals, in a united crossbench effort to drag the
major parties closer to accountability.
More fool me.
The bill, designed to clean up a rotten system, is being put forward by Labor and is opposed by a
growing cabal of crossbenchers.
It makes you wonder what they have to hide. Put simply,
the Greens and Teals doth protest too much on this issue.
Labor is thought to be trying to muscle out major political donors such as
Clive Palmer
Another potential target of the laws is businessman and Teal funder Simon Holmes à Court
The Greens have taken massive donations in the past, contrary
to their irregular calls to tighten donations rules (Greens leader Adam Bandt and Senator Mehreen Faruqi are pictured)
The major parties have long complained about the influence the likes of Simon Holmes à Court wields behind the scenes
amongst the Teals.
And we know the Greens have taken massive donations from the wealthy in the past, contrary to their irregular calls to tighten donations rules.
Now that tangible change has been proposed, these bastions of virtue are running a mile from reforms that will curtail dark art of political donations.
The Labor government isn’t even seeking for these transparency rules to take effect immediately, by
the way. It won’t be some sort of quick-paced power play before the
next election designed to catch the crossbench out.
They are aiming for implementation by 2026, giving everyone enough
time to absorb and understand the changes before
preparing for them.
Don’t get me wrong, no deal has yet been done between Labor and the Coalition. I
imagine the opposition want to go over the laws with a fine
tooth comb.
As they should — because it certainly isn’t beyond Labor to include hidden one-party advantages in the proposed design which would create loopholes only the unions are capable of taking advantage of, therefore disadvantaging the Coalition electorally in the years to come.
But short of such baked-in trickiness scuttling a deal to get these proposed laws implemented, the crossbench should offer their support, not cynical opposition, to what
is being advocated for.
They might even be able to offer something worthwhile that
could be incorporated in the package.
To not do so exposes their utter hypocrisy and blowhard false commentary about being in politics to ‘clean things up’.

The success of your logo lies in client contentment.
And do you know when your client is satisfied?
They will like your design only if all the elements have been included as per the design brief.
Therefore, it is imperative that you should discuss the brand logo design brief with your
client. It will help you to avoid any confusion later.
Thus, discussion with the client is important before you create a logo design for him.
Here are some of the things that you should discuss:
1. Educate Clients About Different Designs
Instead of asking clients about different designs, it is more effective if you
educate them about the latest design trends. Give them choices so that it becomes easier for clients to decide on the designs
that suit their requirements.
As a designer, you should discuss the feedback as to which elements are more suited to the client business and products.
Before you start designing, it is important that you inform the client about the various
treatments you are considering for the logo.
Educate your client on textual, iconic and illustrative logos.
Ask him whether combining all of these will suit his business requirements or not.
2. Knowing the Business
This is most significant. Have a word with your client as to the nature or theme of the business.
If your client is in the real estate sector, ask
him which target audience he is aiming at.
It is important that you know about the target audience
of the client. Ask the client about the age, monthly income and gender of his targeted customers.
Knowing the target audience is important as that will help the
logo to communicate the right message to the customers for instant brand recognition.
3. Logo Theme or Wording
Your client might have a particular theme in mind.
He might also like to include some specific
words that best describes his business. Before you start working on the logo, these are the details
you should be discussing with your client.
Educate him on the varied themes, visual enrichment and designs.
Make the client speak, and then let him choose on the theme or words.
4. Asking About Colors
Have a discussion about what colors you would be using for the logo.
It is best to make the client decide on the colors that suits the nature of
his business. Else, if you decide the colors without having a word with your client,
there are chances that your logo will be disapproved by the client.
5. Elements You Avoid
It is not possible for a client to know all about the designing process.
However, he should be aware of the design elements that should not be included in the
logo. Take a note of the components that your client won’t like in the logo.
Else, you will make your client unhappy,
and have to do a complete revision of the designs.
Hope the above tips help you in the logo designing process, and ensures optimal
client satisfaction.
Logo Design India provides top quality business
logo design at affordable prices to companies worldwide. The
company has authored several articles on affordable logo design, their use and business strategy.
Even with the increasing availability of individuals rendering their services in woodworking and furniture, more and more people are
getting the courage and the confidence to go DIY (do it
yourself). People are deciding to become «makers» instead of just
being the owners of stuff around their homes. Some are even so passionate about creating anything from scratch that it has become their profession.
In the furniture industry, specifically, making something of your very own effort is the most rewarding
experience. From there, we get into the make or break principle
as the first step to go DIY is to accept the fact that you will commit mistakes in the process until such time you become the «master maker».
Here are a rundown of the best reasons why you should go DIY on your
furniture masterpiece:
You’ll learn to appreciate what you have. Admit it,
we tend to fill our lives with so many stuff and we go breaking them sometimes or we just
do not like them anymore and so we buy new ones again. The cycle goes on, one day we find
ourselves in a home filled with lots of stuff, and from there enters the need to let go
of some. As DIY lets you experience the tedious job of making
something, you learn to appreciate more of the value of things.
Appreciating the things that we have pushes us to take good care of our
possessions and we then become wiser in buying new things.
You’ll learn to be more patient. If you are looking for a way to do a piece of work very quick, then DIY
is maybe not for you. It takes great time, effort, and a lot of patience to create one great masterpiece.
As mentioned, you would always experience committing
mistakes and you will fail in the process. You learn from the mistakes and then you once
again go back down basement to finish the job.
The drive to finish something plus the whole DIY process makes you become more
persistent.
You’ll hone new skills. As you go on to doing your
new masterpiece, you will be learning new skills and then you would
be able to grind on those skills as you keep on doing more.
You will have to learn how to use DIY tools such as Bostitch gun, drillers, spray painters, and the list goes on. Education experts suggest that firsthand experience, as
we all know it, is the best way to learn new things.
DIY jobs create an opportunity for you to keep
your brain working and make use of your hands.
Ivy Guingab is a copywriter and an online marketing professional who writes
a myridad of topics on DIY and the use of DIY tools like Bostitch gun .

Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are asking voter to choose between an immigration crackdown and reproductive rights
As their race for the US presidency comes down to the wire, each major candidate
has leaned heavily on a favorite theme — abortion rights for Democrat
Kamala Harris and border security for Republican Donald Trump.
In Arizona, their ideological duel has reached a white-hot peak, with both topics the subject of fiercely
debated ballot referendums.
And in this key southwestern state — where the billionaire Trump lost
to President Joe Biden in 2020 by a tiny margin of about 10,500 votes — every ballot truly will count.
In the mid-sized city of Tucson, hundreds of volunteers in orange T-shirts were going door-to-door to
try to persuade voters to back a ballot measure to inscribe abortion rights in the state constitution — and, while they’re at it, to vote for Vice President Harris.
To Grace Ireland, a 26-year-old activist, the abortion restrictions imposed by several Republican-controlled states amount to «a public health crisis that Donald Trump and the Republicans have created.»
She added, «Democrats and Kamala Harris are trying to push us forward and protect women’s health care and protect our democracy and protect all people.»
Une pancarte barrée du slogan «L’indifférence aux élections est dangereuse»,
à Tucson, en Arizona, le 16 octobre 2024
Since 2022, when the US Supreme Court ended the
constitutional protection of federal abortion rights, Ireland, a registered nurse, has worked in several states
where abortion is banned or severely limited.
Those restrictions have had sometimes disastrous consequences
for women having problem pregnancies or carrying nonviable
fetuses when doctors refuse to treat them.
«Women are going septic and dying because they cannot receive the care that they need,» she told AFP.
— ‘Abortion is murder’ —
As Ireland carries her message to potential voters, she noted, particularly to young people
who may be less likely to vote, that it was Donald Trump who appointed
the three justices who tipped the Supreme Court against abortion rights.
Donald Trump lors d’un meeting à Tempe, en Arizona, le 24 octobre 2024
«It’s important to reiterate that Donald Trump and these abortion bans are one and the same,» Ireland said.
But in Tucson there is little unanimity among young voters.
«I do think that abortion is murder,» said Pedro Lopez, a 20-year-old college
student.
«There are cases of incest or rape» that merit
exceptions, he conceded, «but that’s very small.»
He also worries about the flow of undocumented migrants that have entered the country from Mexico
during the Biden-Harris administration.
«People that are entering the United States illegally… should be sent back to where they came from,»
he said.
«My grandparents migrated from Mexico to the United States, and they did it the right way.»
So he plans not only to vote for Trump, but to back the proposal to let local
law enforcement detain, arrest and prosecute anyone suspected of having entered the country
illegally — powers normally reserved to the border police who
work for the federal government.
«I know people that work for the Border Patrol, and they’re really upset because this current administration has really tied their hands up. They’re not really able to do anything,» Lopez said.
— Mixed impact —
The major political parties see the competing referendums as offering an opportunity to mobilize
more people to vote — on ballot questions at the very heart of the two presidential campaigns.

But the referendums may not have the clear impact on the race for the White House that activists hope.
Polls show Trump and Harris running neck-and-neck
in Arizona, with the Republican holding a very narrow lead.
Both ballot questions, meantime, have drawn strong support and both appear likely to
pass.
So the abortion issue may not be «helping Democrats in the way that they would hope,»
said Jenny Brian, a professor of bioethics at Arizona State University.
Many Republican women will vote both to protect
abortion rights and to bring Trump back to the White House, Brian said.
Though abortion is sometimes framed as a Democrat vs. Republican issue, the Republican Party includes «a broad spectrum of views on the topic,»
an issue that also raises conservatives’ concerns about «government interference,»
she added.
The same dynamic applies to immigration, with the tougher
language on the Arizona ballot question finding support not just among Trump Republicans but
also «moderates and even many Democrats,» said John Kavanagh, a Republican and an Arizona state senator.
The 74-year-old Kavanagh is unimpressed by Harris’s recent
toughening on migration, specifically her promise to maintain the partial
closing of the border Biden ordered in recent months.
The vice president, Kavanagh said, is «running away faster from her open-border policy than an illegal immigrant that runs away from the Border Patrol.»
There is something reassuringly robust about The Punch Bowl
Inn. Not just in the old-fashioned bar, where the Wainwright Gold is well kept and a huge leather sofa sits before a blazing wood burner;
or in the dining room, solid and comfortable, with its old beams, well-trodden wooden floors
and tables unadorned with cloths; it’s in the
menu, too, mainly British with a Gallic burr, that makes full use of the magnificent local Lake District larder.
Stornoway black pudding with crispy egg and bubble and squeak:
‘pure Cumbrian comfort by way of Lewis’, is Tom’s verdict
We’re here with Peter Gott, that great Cumbrian hero,
and the man behind Sillfield Farm, who has invited
me up to cook at the Westmorland County Show; also chef Phil Vickery, who certainty knows his alliums; and the force of nature that
is Lorraine Stanton, something of a legend around these
parts. But first dinner, and a sublime twice-baked Mrs Kirkham’s
cheese soufflé, the texture as light as a sigh, the flavour
profoundly, lasciviously rich. Mrs Kirkham’s, now made by her son Graham, is one of the
world’s great cheeses, and this is a soufflé of quiet majesty.
A mushroom soup is equally splendid, managing to be both light and gutsy, while Stornoway black pudding with bubble and squeak and a deep-fried egg is pure Cumbrian comfort by way of
Lewis.
There’s a fundamental generosity here, matched by assured technical precision. Duck à l’orange
sees a plump breast cooked rare, the skin crisp, the sauce just the right side of bitter.
It comes with a fat potato fondant and cabbage spiked with shards of smoked
bacon. I eat rump of lamb, four vast just-pink slices, drenched in the stickiest, most gloriously intense of gravies; by its side, a tiny
shepherd’s pie, one bite of pure ovine brilliance.
Puddings are every bit as fine: a lemon tart, beautifully sharp, with damson sorbet
(this part of the Lake District is famed for its damsons); along with a banana soufflé, this time the classic version but ethereal, served with
vanilla ice cream and a pot of sticky-toffee sauce to pour deep into its molten centre.
This is good old-fashioned food, immaculately done, in the sort of pub designed for lingering.
It’s getting late now, and we’ve an early start.
But first, another bottle of wine. Dinners like
this are too rare to be rushed.

Tim Dillon, who makes a brief appearance in Joker: Folie à Deux,
has described the new sequel as ‘terrible’ and ‘the worst film ever made’.
The follow-up to the Oscar-winning 2019 film, starring Joaquin Phoenix as Arthur Fleck
(Joker) and Lady Gaga as Lee Quinzel (Harley Quinn), faced negative reviews from critics before its October 4
release and flopped at the box office.
Tim, 39, who played a guard at Arkham Asylum in the movie, said Todd Philips’s new film has ‘no plot’ and admitted
he knew it was ‘going to bomb’ while filming.
Speaking on The Joe Rogan Experience podcast, Tim said: ‘It’s the worst film ever made.
‘I think what happened, after the first Joker, there was a lot of talk like, ‘Oh, this was
loved by incels. This was loved by the wrong kinds of people.
This sent the wrong kind of message. Male rage!
Nihilism! All these think pieces.

The follow-up to the Oscar-winning 2019 film, starring Joaquin Phoenix

(Harley Quinn), faced negative reviews from critics before
its October 4 release and flopped at the box office
‘And then I think, ‘What if we went the other
way,’ and now they have Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga tap
dancing to a point where it’s insane.’
He continued: ‘It has no plot. We would sit there, me and these other guys were all dressed
in these security outfits because we’re working at the Arkham
Asylum, and I would turn to one of them and we’d
hear this crap and I’d go, ‘What the f*** is this?’ And they’d
go, ‘This is going to bomb, man.’ I go, ‘This is the worst thing I’ve ever seen.’
‘We were talking about it at lunch, and we’d go, ‘What is the plot?
Is there a plot? I don’t know, I think he falls in love with her in the prison?’ It’s not even hate-watchable.
That’s how terrible it is.’
Despite the negative reviews a number of fans of the sequel took to social
media after its release last month to defend the sequel to
Todd Phillips’ 2019 motion picture.
The film debuted to a paltry $40 million at the domestic box
office, good enough for the weekend’s top spot, but less than projections, and half
that of its predecessor.
Amid the early returns, a number of fans took up for the movie and its cinematic depth, in breaking away
from the cookie cutter nature of sequels to introduce a musical element not present in the first film, with
Lady Gaga joining the franchise.
‘Joker 2 was amazing,’ one user said, adding that it
was ‘100% as divisive as people are making it out to be. I love that the
film didn’t try to be a traditional sequel, and fully committed to
the storytelling they presented. It never deviated to be a film
full of Easter eggs or any other crowd pleasing aspects.’
Another user said, ‘I kinda loved Joker 2. I loved how it was structured as
a meta-exploration of the first film’s fandom and the
musical elements were a lot of fun.’

One user marvelled that Joker 2 is ‘getting universal hate despite being more interesting and
creative than anything marvel has done in years is expected.’
It comes after lead star Lady Gaga was left ‘disappointed’ at the immense flood
of negative reactions to Joker: Folie à Deux, with the singer’s team now keen to
quickly push out other projects to help distract from the furore over the film, insiders
claim.
Todd Phillips‘ sequel has bombed, raking in just under $40 million at the domestic box office, and receiving the lowest CinemaScore in comic
book movie history.
Gaga, 38, is reportedly confused at the lack of love for her turn as Harleen Lee Quinzel, aka Harley Quinn,
alongside Joaquin Phoenix, 49, as the Joker — a role that won him
the best actor Oscar in 2019 — in the wake of the standing ovation it received at the
Venice Film Festival last month.
‘Gaga is surprised by the response to Joker 2 and is shocked
that people don’t love it after the response it received from critics before it premiered,’ a source exclusively told DailyMail.com.
‘She put so much heart into the movie and has so much respect for the DC comics fan base.’
They added: ‘Her team is quietly looking at other projects they can roll out as they
want to move on this from as quickly as possible.’

But despite the lacklustre reception from fans,
a second source claimed she is not letting it deter her from returning to the
big screen, with the singer said to be eyeing up a Quentin Tarantino movie.
‘She is disappointed that Joker is pretty
much a bomb,’ they said.
‘She thought that this film could get her an Oscar nomination, especially since the first film was such
a success and Joaquin won an Oscar.
‘She would now like to land a role in Quentin Tarantino’s next and final film.
Nobody knows what that is going to be, but she wants to audition.
‘She’s going to lobby hard to get a meeting with him once a script is presented,
it is a bucket list moment for her to be involved.’

Abbie Chatfield has revealed the sexual act she would never engage in with her partner, Adam Hyde.
The FBoy Island star, 29, recently opened up about the
launch of her ‘kink kit’ sex toys and admitted that when it comes to bedroom fun, it’s strictly a two-person affair.
While she does fantasise about having a ménage à trois, Abbie admitted that it’s
something she could never actually go through with.
‘I have a fantasy about, like, seeing my partner f*** someone else,’
she told News Corp.
‘But I think I know in my heart that I don’t actually want to see it.
I just want to talk about it like, that’s something that I find
hot.
‘But in reality, would I want to see that? Maybe, probably not.’

‘Like, whenever we get to a point where we’re like, «let’s have a threesome!»,
I’m like, «I don’t actually know if I’m gonna want to see that»,’ she continued.
Elsewhere in the discussion, Abbie revealed that her Peking Duk frontman partner was the perfect ‘product tester’ for
the kit.
‘He had feedback about the length of the flogger,’ she said, referring to the kit’s double-ended paddle.
‘It was a little bit too short after using that on me.’
Abbie’s racy admissions come after she recently urged women to withhold sex
from their Donald Trump-supporting partners.
In a lengthy Instagram post, in the wake of Donald Trump’s
victory over Kamala Harris in the US presidential election, the reality star told women they should refuse to date or have sex which anyone who supports his victory.
Alongside a series of posts from her story, she wrote: ‘IF THEY
WANT TO TAKE AWAY REPRODUCTIVE FREEDOMS THEN DO NOT
LET THEM ENTER YOUR BODY.’
‘I’m done with the idea that men who support Trump (or Andrew Tate) are just ‘lost’ and
we should have empathy for them. They are gleefully posting threats of violence.’

‘They are happy that women’s rights are going to be stripped.
They are laughing at our tears. They already have a SLOGAN

Abbie then told women to not let men with these views ‘near you’ because they are ‘dangerous’.
‘Ask them about their views! They are dangerous and they don’t deserve your presence, emotional
or domestic labour. If your partner was in support of Trump OR EVEN APATHETIC, STOP DOING ANYTHING FOR
THEM THAT PATRIARCHY EXPECTS OF YOU!! They are NOT
entitled to your body or time.
‘If they see you as a human they wouldn’t need this explained
to them. DUMP. THEM.’
She also claimed Trump’s presidency ‘will bring more violence
towards women as men do not care about us’.
‘So stop giving them the perks of a relationship with you.
It isn’t your job. Be with a man who can take care of himself,
who won’t expect sex and who actually sees you
as a human being.’
Abbie’s comments echo sentiments from the 4B movement which sprung up in South
Korea in the mid 2010’s.
The radical feminist movement, calls for proponents to not date, get married, have sex,
or have children with men.
Following the US presidential election some American women declared solidarity with the movement
is a form of protest against Donald Trump, and his role in the overturning of Roe v.
Wade.

‘Tis the season of hosiery. Paired with a mini
skirt and a sequin blazer (we’re looking at you, Selena Gomez), or styled with a little black
dress and a pair of killer heels (à la Alexa Chung
at the Fashion Awards), tights and stockings are a
great way to add style — and perhaps an extra layer of warmth — to your outfits during the autumn and winter months.
From matte to glossy, opaque to sheer, and black to skin-toned shades,
there’s a lot more to consider than just the denier number
when it comes to picking out a pair of classic tights.
And then, of course, there is also patterned hosiery (think delicate designs like a back seam, polka
dots or lace detailing) to elevate your winter style.
‘Tis the season of hosiery
In 2024, tights should no longer be an obligation but a fashion choice.
Google searches for ‘tights’ are up by 115% since the temperatures first dropped, and at high-street
favourite M&S two pairs are sold every minute. So what
styles are we buying?
The top spot is claimed by the retailer’s 60 Denier Body Sensor Tights
(a handy three-pack that sells for just £8 and is available in a black, navy and brown).
The 40 Denier Body Sensor Tights (£8 for a three-pack) are second favourite, followed
by the 30 Denier Body Sensor Tights (£8 for a three-pack).
The fourth most popular pair is the 60 Denier Magicwear Opaque
Tights (£14 for a two-pack), and the top five is rounded out by the 100 Denier Magicwear Opaque Tights (£14 for a
two-pack).
These are the number one selling tights at Marks & Spencer
M&S believes the decision between opaque and sheer tights should be based on the formality of our outfit.
‘Opaque black tights will go with basically everything.
Often said to clash with black; blue or brown hues are also an option.’
‘Sheer tights are great for more formal occasions and warmer temperatures, as they
provide a lighter and more breathable option,’ the high street
giant added. ‘You can achieve that elegant, barely-there look with a little extra coverage.’
Similarly, intricate patterns, logos and glitter
are best suited for evening looks, says M&S. ‘For a daytime or office look, stick with polka dots or diamond patterned
tights, or if you’re looking for some added cosiness, try cable-knit tights for some subtle texture.’

Des électeurs attendent l’ouverture d’un bureau de vote à Windhoek, le 29 novembre
2024 en Namibie
Namibians returned to vote on Friday in 36 polling stations
reopened two days after a chaotic election, set to
test the ruling party’s 34-year grip on power, was marred by technical problems.
Tensions are mounting in the historically stable and peaceful southern African nation where Wednesday’s election was marked by long delays and labelled a «sham» by the opposition.
Some people waited 12 hours in line to vote in presidential and
legislative polls, billed as the toughest yet for the South West Africa
People’s Organisation (SWAPO) party, in power since Namibia’s 1990 independence from South africa.
Wednesday’s queues were caused by many technical problems, including issues with tablets used
to register voters and shortages of ballot papers.
In some cases, torches used to show up invisible ink had run out of batteries and mobile voting teams had
left areas with voters still in the queues, it said.
Facing criticism from both voters and parties, the electoral commission extended the vote for a second time, giving Namibians until Saturday evening to vote.
In the capital Windhoek, at the only polling station picked to reopen, about 60 people showed
up on Friday, including Kluivert Muuondjo who arrived at 4:
30 am.
The 21-year-old student said he had waited in line until 11:
00 pm on Wednesday but left before being able to vote as he had
exams the next day.
Des électeurs attendent l’ouverture d’un bureau de vote à
Windhoek, le 29 novembre 2024 en Namibie
«Everyone will have the chance to vote,» he said.
But because Namibians can vote at any given polling station, he was worried «everyone will flock to one place again.»
The disarray led to angry complaints from opposition parties with
some calling for a halt in the electoral process.
Opposition parties were scheduled to meet on Friday and issue a joint statement, according to
Christine Aochamus who represents the Independent Patriots for Change (IPC) party.
Youth unemployment, enduring inequalities and the emergence of a generation born after independence are challenging
support towards SWAPO which has ruled since 1990.
Its candidate, vice-president Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah, who could become the first woman to
lead the country if elected, could face an unprecedented second round in the mineral rich country.
«To open only one place in Khomas (the region of which the capital is part of) is absurd,» said voter Ensley
Engermund, who also said he couldn’t vote on Wednesday because of long queues despite trying four different polling stations.
«Only 1.5 millions voters are registered and we get this chaos?»
asked the 49-year-old security agent.
«It was to get people frustrated.»

Joaquin Phoenix has revealed that he spoke with filmmaker Christopher Nolan about playing Joker which ultimately went to Heath Ledger.
The 50-year-old actor — whose latest flick Joker: Folie À Deux could be streamed now — got candid about potentially playing
the supervillain before he actually portrayed him.
Joaquin recently appeared on Rick Rubin’s Tetragrammaton podcast as he revealed that he spoke
to the 54-year-old Oscar-winning filmmaker Nolan about portraying
Joker over a decade before.
He said: That didn’t… wasn’t going to happen for a number of reasons.
I wasn’t ready then.
‘That’s one of those things sometimes where you go:
«Why am I not doing this project? What is stopping me from doing this? Well it’s not about me, there’s something else. There’s another person that’s going to do something that’s like, I can’t imagine what it would be if we didn’t have Heath Ledger‘s performance in that film.»‘

Joker: Folie À Deux heading to streaming after box office flop
In 2020, Joaquin earned the Best Lead Actor Oscar
for Todd Phillips directed Joker which was 11 years after Ledger posthumously earned Best Supporting Actor for The Dark Knight in 2009.
Joaquin continued: ‘I don’t know whether Christopher Nolan was
coming to me saying, «You are definitely the person.»
‘I can’t remember the context of how we met. But I know that we met,
and my feeling was, «I shouldn’t do this.» But maybe he also was like, «You’re not the guy.» I
couldn’t say.’
Heath died in a New York City apartment on January 22, 2008,
after accidentally overdosing following months of
physical and mental exhaustion.
The Dark Knight actor died aged 28 after taking a fatal cocktail of drugs,
leaving behind his daughter, who was two years old at the time.
Meanwhile Joker: Folie À Deux can now be streamed, just weeks
after its theatrical release.
The movie, starring Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga,
is now available to rent from home starting October 29, in an effort to recoup some of Warner Bros.
investment into the film, as per Variety.
The musical, which bombed at the box office, is ‘poised to lose at least $150 million to $200 million in its theatrical
run’ according to the publication.

Terrifier 3 dethrones Joker: Folie À Deux as box office champ
The movie studio spent about $200 million to produce the film and about $100 million on marketing and distribution, according to the report.
It would need to gross about $450 million at the box office to break even — when factoring in the cut taken by theaters — though Warner Bros.
sources claim the number is $375 million.
A Warner Bros. spokesperson responded to the report,
saying ‘Any estimates suggested by anonymous «insiders» or «rival executives» are grossly wrong and continues a trend where rumor
is reported as fact.’
‘The film continues to play in theatrical release, included with this week’s
opening in China, and will continue to earn revenue throughout its home viewing and ancillary run.’
So far, the musical about Batman’s nemesis has grossed $51.5 million domestically and $165 million globally after two weeks of release.
In comparison, the first Joker grossed $96.2 million domestically
and $248.4 million globally after three days of release.
The hotly-anticipated sequel to the 2019 billion dollar Oscar-winning film was considered a
surefire hit for Warner Bros Pictures, yet ended up being
slammed by critics and failed to ignite at the box office.

Phoenix reprised his role as the Joker in the sequel,
which had earned him an Oscar for his portrayal in the 2019 film, while Gaga took on the role of
Harleen Lee Quinzel (Harley Quinn).
However, Joker: Folie À Deux has been given a D rating on CinemaScore —
the lowest score for a comic book movie.
Madame Web — which notably also flopped in theaters earlier this year and also received terrible reviews — holds a higher score with a C+.
On Rotten Tomatoes, the movie currently holds an audience score of 31% and
a critic score of 32%.
The sequel has been roundly criticized for being a musical and ‘ignoring’ the
DC fanbase — with an agent familiar with director Todd Phillips’ process telling Variety
he ‘wanted nothing to do with DC’ during the making of the film,
with DC bosses James Gunn and Peter Safran notably
absent from the film’s LA premiere afterparty last month.
A source said: ‘If the first movie was about some down-on-his-luck, mentally ill guy in a downtrodden city, it makes maybe $150 [million]
worldwide. Not a billion. People showed up because that guy was
Joker.’
In an apparent snub by Phillips, the opening sequence
of the film does not include a DC Studios logo.
A Warner spokesman added that a DC logo appears at the end of
the Joker sequel, while Phillips declined to comment to the
publication.
Several frictions are said to have developed between Phillips,
DC and Warner- with claims that Michael DeLuca, Chairperson of Warner Bros.
Entertainment, and CEO Pamela Abdy seemed ‘unwilling’ to say no to Phillips due to his huge past successes.
It is claimed Phillips would ‘only’ speak with DeLuca and Abdy rather than Gunn and Safran —
who took control of DC two months before production began on Joker
2 in December 2022.
Gunn and Safran did attend the first director’s
cut screening for the studio but Phillips fueled rift speculation when he told a reporter:
‘With all due respect to them, this is kind of a
Warner Bros. movie.’
Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav also met with Phillips shortly after WarnerMedia and Discovery merged in April 2022
and was ‘open to filming in Los Angeles if the director would make the sequel at a lower price
point.’
The studio wanted to film in London which would have
cost around 20 per cent less.
A source directly involved with the film recently shared:
‘The one thing about genre stuff: If you don’t listen and pay attention to what the fan expectations
are, you’re going to fail’; director Todd Phillips seen with Gaga and Phoenix at the LA premiere September 30
However, Phillips insisted on filming in LA with the budget
remaining static.
A Warner spokesman told the publication the studio
‘supported the decision to film in Los Angeles’.
A source directly involved with the film said: ‘No one could get through to Todd.
And the one thing about genre stuff: If you don’t listen and pay attention to
what the fan expectations are, you’re going to fail.
Insiders also claim studio bosses did not want to premiere the film at the Venice Film Festival, but Phillips pushed back — with a Warner spokesman saying the studio ‘fully supported the decision to bring the film to Venice.
Along with Gaga and Phoenix, other stars that had appeared in the sequel include Brendan Gleeson, Catherine Keener, Zazie Beatz and Steve Coogan.

LONDON, Sept 28 (Reuters) — Philip Morris International (PMI) on Thursday signalled
a slower than anticipated U.S. roll out of its IQOS heated tobacco device, a choice analysts said was positive for
its competitors in the short term.
The New York-listed Marlboro maker also said it aims for more than two
thirds of its net revenues to come from «smoke-free» products by 2030, up from 50% in 2025, as it tries to transform its image from a cigarette purveyor to a driver of the shift to healthier alternatives.
Investors have been closely watching IQOS’ entry into the U.S.,
the world’s largest market for nicotine products, and
had been expecting it from May 2024 next year. Reuters reported on Wednesday that PMI is hiring lobbyists across
a host of key U.S. states ahead of the launch.
Chief Executive Jacek Olczak said IQOS would launch in four cities in two unnamed U.S.
states from 2024, but a national launch would only
come after PMI receives approval to sell the latest version, known as IQOS ILUMA.
The company was planning to apply for approval in October and expected it
from 2025, he continued.
«We need to warm up the tyres,» he said of the initial launch, which
would help PMI fine tune its approach.
A national roll-out of ILUMA would follow but in phases, he continued, adding launching in 10 states
in the first year would make sense.
Meaningful traction for PMI’s heated tobacco products in the U.S.
«now looks delayed until ILUMA,» Owen Bennett, equity analyst at Jefferies, said in a note, adding this
was a positive for PMI’s rivals.
Olczak also signalled that PMI’s push into non-nicotine
products was no longer a priority. It recently scrapped an ambition for $1 billion in net
revenues to come from sales of such products by 2025.
Instead, PMI will focus its resources on IQOS and nicotine pouch brand ZYN, Olczak said, adding
it had been too optimistic around acceptance of big tobacco
companies operating outside of nicotine.
PMI also announced updated medium-term targets including for revenue and
earnings per share, and ambitious volume targets
for IQOS and ZYN.
ZYN and other oral nicotine products in the U.S.
would help drive an expected $2 billion in revenues
there in 2024, even before IQOS ILUMA, executives said.
PMI shares were up 1.5% on Thursday. (Reporting by Emma Rumney in London and Granth Vanaik in Bengaluru; additional reporting by Ananya Mariam Rajesh in Bengaluru; Writing by Emma Rumney; Editing by Elaine

Sept 28 (Reuters) — Philip Morris International on Thursday said it would be filing a premarket tobacco product application (PMTA) in the United States for its IQOS ILUMA product in October.
The company at its investor day said that while the
PMTA timeline remains «hard to predict», it expects the launch of the ILUMA heated tobacco units towards the second half of its three-year
forecast period of 2024 to 2026.

Dec 2 (Reuters) — Philip Morris will reach its target of 50% sales from smoke-free products by 2025 through organic revenue growth rather than mergers and acquisitions,
its CEO told Reuters.
The maker of Marlboro cigarettes has spent more than $8
billion on reduced risk products since it began developing them a decade ago,
Chief Executive Jacek Olczak said in an interview during the Reuters Next conference.
About 30% of revenue at Philip Morris now comes from «smoke-free» products such
as iQOS tobacco heating devices, Olczak added on Thursday.
Philip Morris has also set a target of generating
$1 billion in sales from non-nicotine products by 2025 as part of its evolution website into a broader «healthcare and wellness» company.
«The way we look at these targets, we achieved the current 30% organically and I believe we can get to 50% by continuing this organic growth,» Olczak
said, adding: «Our $1 billion target of achieving sales from non-nicotine products we can also to a very large extent achieve organically.»
Olczak’s comments come nearly two months after Philip Morris bought British inhaler-maker Vectura,
a deal which faced opposition from public health experts who questioned whether a tobacco group should own a company
that cures the respiratory illnesses which cigarettes cause.
Asked if he was surprised by the backlash, Olczak said there were «a few voices of criticism» and that he expected «negative emotions» to fade as Vectura launches products over the next few
years that will address unmet patient and consumer needs.
Since it was announced in July, critics have put concerted pressure on shareholders and the government
to block the deal.
In August, a group of more than 35 health charities, experts and doctors
across the world wrote website to shareholders over the damaging effect tobacco has
on United Nations sustainable development goals, following up with a letter to the British government to look at conflict of interest issues in September.
«Nothing we are doing should come as a surprise, we are putting in action the visions that we shared openly seven or so years ago about leaving cigarettes behind,» Olczak said.
«This is completely moving the company in another direction.»

Bangkok is the capital of Thailand
July 23 (Reuters) — Philip Morris International raised its annual profit forecast on Tuesday, banking on higher cigarette prices
and its growing nicotine pouch brand ZYN while trimming the
outlook for its core heated tobacco business.
The world’s top tobacco company by market value has put
heated tobacco device IQOS at the centre of its effort to grow revenues
from smoking alternatives, but lower-than-expected shipments disappointed
some investors last year.
ZYN has emerged as a bright spot thanks to booming
growth, while regular hikes to cigarette prices have helped offset consistent volume declines across the industry.
PMI upgraded its forecasts for both annual revenues and
profit, with higher ZYN shipment volumes a key driver.
«We are on track for a strong 2024,» CEO
Jacek Olczak said, flagging strong momentum across PMI’s business.
Shares in PMI were up 2% in premarket trading after it also beat
expectations for second-quarter revenue.
IQOS and other heated tobacco products gained users in the second quarter, with new product launches in places like Japan and Indonesia helping
drive in-market sales volume growth of 10.2%, in line
with expectations.
However, PMI said it expected annual heated tobacco in-market
sales volume growth to be lower than previously forecast, flagging a
greater-than-anticipated impact from a ban on flavoured heated tobacco in the European Union.
Mark Giambrone, a portfolio manager at Barrow
Hanley, a sub-adviser to American Beacon’s
Large Cap Value Fund which invests in PMI, said this did not overshadow its
results and forecasts.
«The quarter was excellent,» he said.
PMI expects full-year adjusted earnings per share of between $6.67 and $6.79, compared with its earlier forecast of $6.55 to $6.67.
Its second-quarter revenue of $9.47 billion beat an $9.18 billion average analyst estimate, LSEG data shows.

A British man was arrested for allegedly arranging for his friends to flood a restaurant in Thailand
with false one-star reviews after a dispute with the owner.
The British national, identified only as Alexander, 21, reportedly wanted to use the
Italian restaurant as a convenient shortcut to his accommodation in Phuket in 2022.
However, the owner barred him from doing so because
he was not a paying customer.
As revenge, Alexander is said to have enlisted his friends’ help in flooding the restaurant with negative reviews, plunging its rating from 4.8 to 3.1 out of 5
stars.
The Central Investigation Bureau arrested Alexander at his new apartment in Bangkok on May 9, after the owner filed a complaint with the
Sakhu Police Station claiming the fake reviews had caused damage
to the restaurant’s finances and reputation.
The British national, identified only as Alexander,
21, (right) reportedly wanted to use the Italian restaurant as a convenient shortcut to his accommodation in Phuket in 2022
The arrest warrant was issued against Alexander on August 2023 for ‘entering false computer data likely
to cause damage to the general public’.
Police Major Jomparit Kaewreung of the Crime Suppression Division said: ‘The suspect was handed over to the inquiry officer of Sakhu Police Station for further legal action.
During the interrogation, he has denied the charges.’
Alexander was taken back to the Sakhu Police Station in Phuket
for prosecution.
In October 2020, an American tourist was arrested over a negative hotel review he posted on TripAdvisor.
He accused the Sea View Resort in Phuket of ‘modern-day slavery’.
He was subsequently detained and charged under Thailand’s strict anti-defamation laws before apologising and being released.
Despite being one of the wealthiest countries in the world, Thailand has resisted attempts at
modernising and continues to enforce archaic laws
banning free speech.

A billionaire couple have won the right to remove a single tree from the driveway of their lavish $20million mansion after being blocked by their local council.
Paul Holmes a Court, the son of Australia’s first billionaire Robert
Holmes a Court, and his wife Zara had been at loggerheads with their local council over a request to remove a single peppermint tree growing in the middle of their driveway.
The couple bought the four-bedroom mansion in the affluent, tree-lined suburb overlooking Perth’s Freshwater Bay for $20.1million in August.
They wanted to remove the tree but the Shire of Peppermint Grove
refused the request on the grounds the tree was not dead or deceased.
‘We are very lucky to live here, but I have to say that the tree placement is unusual,’ Ms Holmes a Court previously told a council meeting.
‘I’m quite a reasonable and rational person, but a tree in the middle of the driveway makes it quite tricky to reverse out.’
The couple enjoyed a breakthrough at a council meeting
last week after an alternative motion was unanimously passed
that allowed the tree to be removed on the condition they
paid a $2,500 bond before any work was done on the driveway.
They will also need to plant two replacement trees on their property.

Paul Holmes à Court and his wife Zara won a council battle to remove a
peppermint tree (pictured) from the driveway of their $20million mansion
Ms Holmes a Court previously claimed the tree’s odd placement also
made it difficult to spot cars turning the corner at a nearby
intersection with Bay View Terrace.
After the motion to remove the tree was passed
at the meeting, councillor Douglas Jackson said it was a ‘good outcome’.
‘I think it meets both the owners’ wants, or expectation, but also matches the council’s needs at the same time by ensuring that
there is tree cover on the verge of that property,
‘ he said.
Peppermint Grove is hoping to implement a policy that would even make
it an offence to damage or remove any mature trees on private property without council approval.
Last month, WA Planning Minister John Carey said he hoped
the Shire of Peppermint Grove would ‘take a common sense approach’ to the issue.
‘This is part of the challenge that we do have with local government.
I’ve always been on the record that we need local governments
to take a common sense approach to issues,’ Mr Carey told the West
Australian.
‘And I understand people are passionate about trees. But
ultimately, we do need local governments to assess the situation and find
pragmatic outcomes.’
According to the online listing for the four-bedroom, four-bathroom mansion — which is built on a corner block
along the banks of the Swan River — the sprawling Federation-style property was built in around 1904.
The Holmes à Court property was built in around 1904 in Federation ‘Arts and Crafts’ style
The home boast an unparalleled view of the Swan River overlooking Fresh Water
Bay
‘Designed in the rare Federation ‘Arts and Crafts’ style,
the home has retained all its elegance and splendour via lofty ceilings, sweeping verandas, charming decorative arches, casement-style sash windows, and walls of French doors that bathe the home in light, reflecting river views beyond,
‘ the listing said.
The property also features ‘Plush Champagne-hued carpets’ and ‘cobble-stoned remote garage to accommodate six cars, abundant storage, gym
area, double vanity rain-shower bathroom and climate-controlled wine cellar.’
Mr Holmes a Court is the chief executive of prize-winning wine label
Vasse Felix and the brother of Peter Holmes à Court, who
once jointly owned of the South Sydney Rabbitohs with Russell Crowe, and climate philanthropist Simon Holmes à
