Here's an interesting stocking stuffer to consider ... and it's a blast from the past, literally. A radioactive atomic energy lab kit complete with real uranium is hitting the auction block ... and it's considered the world's most dangerous toy. Officially known as the Gilbert U-238 Atomic Energy Laboratory, the toy is from the early 1950s -- back when atomic bombs were relatively new -- and it was marketed as an educational toy for budding scientists. The toy lab kit was created by Alfred Carlton Gilbert ... the same guy who came up with the iconic Erector Set. RR Auction says fewer than 5,000 of these puppies were ever made ... making this a super rare find. The toy was discontinued in 1951, with Gilbert's company blaming "government restrictions" and the "difficulty of obtaining materials." The toy has real uranium, after all. Here's what's included in the lab kit ... a cloud chamber for viewing alpha particles, a spinthariscope to observe radioactive disintegration and an electroscope to measure radiation levels in the four included substances ... carnotite, autunite, torbernite, and uraninite. The kit also has some extras ... including a U.S. government guide to uranium prospecting. Make no mistake, the uranium samples are radioactive ... but a 2020 analysis by IEEE Spectrum, the world's leading engineering magazine, says the radiation is equivalent to UV exposure from the sun ... at least as long as the samples remain in the sealed containers. Bidding ends Dec. 11 ... just in time for the holidays.I'M A Celebrity's 'forgotten' campmates have been revealed after Tulisa made an embarrassing mistake in her trial.

Luckily, social media users have discovered an uncanny dupe of this €150 YSL scent. High-end perfumes are a fabulous luxury to have, however the price-tags can be hefty! TikTok users have discovered a high street dupe for a well-known and popular high-end perfume for a fraction of the cost. Read more: Beauty lovers say €24 body spray is a dupe for €245 viral luxury perfume Read more: Skincare fans rave about Charlotte Tilbury dupe for only €11.10 that brought 'skin back to life' If you’re on the hunt for a new scent that won’t break the bank, then look no further than Zara! Zara offers an extensive range of perfumes and body sprays, but their scent named “Golden Decade” is going viral on social media for being an undeniable dupe for Yves Saint Laurent’s perfume “Libre”. YSL’s scent is described as a grand floral Eau de Parfum with orange blossom flowers from Morocco and the aroma of lavender from France. Zara’s “Golden Decade” captures similar notes of orange blossom and lavender and is described on the Zara website as being: “enveloping, warm and elegant eau de parfum for the woman who wants to transmit a sense of freedom and express her emotions to the extreme. A modern white floral bouquet (jasmine, orange blossom) sublimated by the juicy facets of mandarin reveals the seductive side of every woman. A sweet and addictive lavender adds a final touch with its original and unparalleled facets.” The most notable difference between the two scents is without a doubt the price tags, with a 90 ml bottle of YSL’s famous eau de parfum priced at a whopping €150, and 80 ml of Zara’s duplicate for the high-end scent retailing for €22.95! An absolute no brainer if you ask us! When TikTok users caught wind of this dupe , they went absolutely crazy for it, with one user saying: “smells incredibly beautiful and identical to Libre Intense. My most complimented perfume and everybody wants to know what I was wearing! Easily Zara’s best perfume release.”. Another confirmed the similarities between the two saying: “I wear Libre and my daughter came to visit wearing this and I knew it smelled familiar lol love it”. A third user commented: “my most complimented as well! It lasts up to one day for me.” Zara is known for recreating the smell of high-end perfumes for a much more reasonable price tag and “Golden Decade” is not the only example of them doing this. Zara has also created a dupe for Maison Francis Kurkdjan Baccarat Rouge 540, which will set you back €245, with “Red Temptation” for only €29.95.

Pittsburg County District Court records show Jean Sipes, 60, were charged Oct. 31 with acts resulting in gross injury/outraging public decency and John Sipes, 64, with outraging public decency. Investigators believed the two were involved with public auditions held by Jimmy Plummer for a mobile adult entertainment business held at a public bandstand in downtown McAlester on Oct. 25. Plummer, 48, was also charged Oct. 31 with one count of acts resulting in gross injury/outraging public decency and is scheduled to be in court on Dec. 4. Court minutes filed show the charges against the Sipes were dismissed Nov. 21 “on motion of the state without costs.” An affidavit filed in the case states Cody Vaughn, an investigator with the District 18 District Attorney’s Office reviewed a private message sent from Plummer to a person on Facebook that said “Jean and John Sipes were not at fault.” Vaught then wrote he then conducted an open records search and believed he positively identified a female dancer as Jean Sipes. No video reviewed shows the Sipes’ on stage “erotically dancing” that evening. The woman seen dancing in the videos has not been charged as of Monday. In social media posts that have since been deleted, Plummer promoted hosting open tryouts for a mobile adult entertainment business on Oct. 25 at the downtown bandstand. The criteria, according to one post made by Plummer, were “for freestyle dancing plus lap dance dress, tight cut tops, and short bottoms. Color: Neon colors are always popular, and black or red can be very dramatic. You should of course take into consideration which colors look best with your skin tone and hair color. If you really plan on stripping avoid white.” Plummer said several times in posts the people who participate would have to stay covered due to the event’s public nature.

Gurgaon: By 2026, the city's water supply network will be brought under centralised control as part of Centralised Integrated Water Management System (CIWMS). The project, approved in 2018, uses advanced technology to monitor underground pipelines and ensure an efficient supply. The metropolitan authority will integrate three major water lines as part of phase 3 of the project — from Chandu Budhera Water Treatment Plant (WTP) to Sector 5, from the Chandu Budhera WTP to Sector 51 boosting station, and from the Sector 51 boosting station to Sector 42. Together, this phase will cover 405 underground water tanks across the city to streamline the water supply. The project, with an estimated cost of Rs 26.8 crore, is expected to be completed within 12 months once the work is allotted to an agency. GMDA has started the tendering process for it. Maharashtra Jharkhand Maharashtra Alliance View i Party View Seats: 288 Results Majority: 145 BJP+ 229 MVA 47 OTH 12 Results : 288 / 288 BJP+ WON Jharkhand Alliance View i Party View Seats: 81 Results Majority: 41 INDIA 56 NDA 24 OTH 1 Results : 81 / 81 INDIA WON Source: PValue "We are working towards modernizing our water infrastructure by using CIWMS, which provides real-time monitoring and centralised control technologies. This will help in minimising wastage of potable water and ensure water reaches every household. While the work on phase-2 will start soon, we have invited bids for phase-3. Once completed, the entire water network of the city will have a centralised control," said PK Agarwal, head of GMDA's Smart City division. CIWMS uses technologies such as electromagnetic flow meters, water control valves, pressure transmitters, and sensors. This equipment is installed in underground pipelines and tanks to measure water flow, pressure, and tank levels. All data is transmitted in real-time to GMDA's Integrated Command and Control Center, allowing the officials to monitor and manage the water supply effectively. The system is designed to ensure equitable distribution, minimise wastage, and address water shortages in even the farthest sectors along the network. According to the GMDA, a pilot project conducted in 2021 on the 1200-mm Basai-Dundahera pipeline showed the effectiveness of this technology by bringing down the non-revenue water from 70% to 20%, while ensuring adequate water supply to end sectors. Phase 2 of CIWMS, set to start shortly, got financial clearance from the govt earlier this month. Under this, the 1300mm master water supply pipeline from WTP Basai to Boosting Station Sector 16 and further to Sectors 17, 18, 19, 24, 25, 25A, 26, 26A, 27, 28, 29, 30, 32, 39, 43, and 45 will be covered. It will also have a provision to monitor the working of the pumping machinery at WTP Basai and Chandu Budhera. Moreover, water quality sensors will also be installed at WTPs. The project will cost Rs 16.4 crore with a timeline of one year.NoneFor the first time ever in their 10 season history, the Colorado Springs Switchbacks competed in the USL Championship title match, winning the cup 3-0. The team hosted Rhode Island FC at Weidner Field in front of a sold-out crowd and a national broadcast on CBS after a season of milestones. After winning the Western Conference Final at home for the first time in team history, the team had an opportunity that fans have only dreamed about for the past 10 seasons. The excitement that built up over the last week hit its peak Saturday morning as downtown Colorado Springs saw a sea of cyan and black hit the streets. Fans were lining up outside Weidner Field as early as 7:45 a.m. to celebrate and anticipate the 10 a.m. game kickoff, with the tailgate lot across the street beginning to fill up even earlier. Tim Owen, a board member for the Trailheads, the official supporters group for the Switchbacks, compared Saturday's game to the Colorado Springs equivalent of a Super Bowl. "I woke up happy, and getting up earlier on a weekend was totally worth it," Owen, who got up at 4:45 a.m. for the game, said. "It is definitely a different feel, it's like the Super Bowl of the USL here in the Springs." The Trailheads organized the tailgating lot, which was filled with excited fans decked out in face paint, glitter and even some hair dye. Brian Mcgary, who has been growing out his beard since the first game of the season, decided to dye it blue for Saturday's special game. "People make comments on it all the time, it makes people smile," Mcgary said with a laugh. "We make as much noise as possible inside, and it's a great release of the frustrations of a week to be able to just get out there, scream, and not have anybody looking at you like you're weird." Tailgaters were excited ahead of Saturday’s Switchbacks game! A major event for the team as they compete in the finals for the first time in their 10 seasons! @csgazette pic.twitter.com/LHzlCLeeIG It was a brisk morning ahead of the 10 a.m. start time for the soccer game, and merchandise tables surrounding Weidner Field were selling exclusion 10th season scarfs and shirts. According to the communications director Ashley Purslow, after winning the Western Conference Final, merch for the team was selling out quickly all week. Inside, it was a sold-out game, with standing room only tickets available in the days before the game. Purslow said the 8,000 tickets sold for the game originally sold out within 48 hours. An additional few hundred tickets were released just before Saturday, allowing even more of the community the chance to cheer on their home team. One long-time fan, Kristen Clingerman, got a little emotional when talking about the journey from the very first game the team ever played to Saturday's championship opportunity. "This is what we've been working for forever," Clingerman said. "Last game, I was just crying. We've been through thick and thin and this is so surreal." At nearly every Switchbacks game, one fan in particular stands out with his bright red hair and extravagant face paint both in tailgate lots and inside the stadium. Ben Currie, a member of the Kilted Hooligans, credits the team for many of the friends he has made over the years. "Every meaningful relationship I've built since I've moved out here comes from the stadium one way or the other," Currie said. "(The team) having massive success like this, when I'm kind of making some strides in my own life, it's a very cathartic feeling." Another fan in attendance also had a special story that started with him and his dad buying season tickets for the very first season of the Switchbacks. Jason Smith, who caught many other fans' attention with his costume for the game, cried all the way home after the team won the Western Conference Final. The team has a special place in his heart for helping him open up socially. Jason Smith, a longtime fan of the Switchbacks, drew lots of attention from other fans with his outfit for Saturday’s game! Had to snag a photo! @csgazette pic.twitter.com/8LxLWDBa3i "Everyone was so welcoming at the start, and we build and build over the years," Smith said. "It is just a family, we watch out for each other." In the last hour leading up to kick-off, excitement only continued to grow as DJs blasted music through the streets while a large group of supporters marched into Weidner Field. Supporters of the Switchbacks march into Weidner Field! @csgazette pic.twitter.com/I11P6JVnny At halftime, the Switchbacks were in the lead 2-0, holding complete control of the match in stoppage time. From outside the stadium, the cheers from fans echoed down the street as fireworks were shot off throughout the game. By the end of the game, the Switchbacks reached even more milestones by securing the cup and making Colorado Springs history. This season was previously tied with the 2022 season for the most home wins with 10 victories. That number officially jumped to 11 on Saturday afternoon. Energy from the fans was even higher following the conclusion of the match with the stadium erupting into cheers as the clock ran down. The ending score was 3-0. Even more fireworks launched into the sky with a cyan powder dusting the field. "The energy was palpable; I could feel it as soon as I walked in there," said Peter Burlingane, season ticket holder. "It's been amazing to watch this team. They started (shaky), and they went nine straight games unbeaten, and then they brought us to the championship and they brought home a cup."

NoneSara Weller is Britain's bravest businesswoman By RUTH SUNDERLAND Updated: 21:51, 23 November 2024 e-mail View comments Silence: Sara Weller wants senior people to talk about their disabilities Sara Weller was a golden girl with a golden life. Her brilliant career as a retail executive was complemented by a picture-perfect family, with a supportive husband and two children. And then it all unravelled. Weller, now 63, was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. Having jetted around the world for her job – at one point she took day trips to India – she is now in a wheelchair. Even more devastating than the collapse in her health was the end of her marriage in a painful divorce. Far from being crushed, however, Weller has emerged stronger. She is using her unique platform as one of the UK's leading business people and a woman with MS to help end disability discrimination in the workplace. Before she discovered she had MS in 2009, she had enjoyed an almost seamless ascent to the top, coupled with what looked like an idyllic domestic life. At her peak, she was managing director of Argos, and arguably the most powerful woman in UK retail. In a previous job at Sainsbury's, she narrowly missed out on becoming the chief executive. MS did not derail her working life for long. She may no longer be the golden girl, but she has earned a far greater accolade: the bravest woman in corporate Britain. Weller is now an independent director at telecoms giant BT and Virgin Money. She is also determined to use her clout to speak out for people with disabilities. 'There are probably around 1,000 directors on FTSE 100 boards and I am the only one sharing the fact I have a disability,' she says. 'If that was the number for gender or race, there would be riots. But the fact there is only one person with a declared disability? Nobody bats an eyelid.' Should there be a target for disabled directors as there is for women? 'It is very complex. Many disabilities are not visible and senior people don't want to talk about it, which creates a conspiracy of silence. People are afraid it will be perceived as a weakness. But if senior people do not talk about their disabilities, then it is a conspiracy of silence.' Her next project is an inaugural day of action in February to help end disability exclusion. This will help businesses do better at including disabled people. 'Some of the most hard-nosed business people have been the most incredibly supportive of me,' she says. RELATED ARTICLES Previous 1 Next The 'last unspoken bias' in business: Former Argos boss... Spread the message there is no shame in claiming pension... Share this article Share HOW THIS IS MONEY CAN HELP How to choose the best (and cheapest) stocks and shares Isa and the right DIY investing account 'I would like senior people to share their experience of disabilities. I would like to see transparent reporting. The focus should be on line managers. They are the difference between people feeling included and feeling excluded.' Unsparingly honest about her emotions, she says she feels her disability is 'a failure and a flaw. Even though logically I know it is not the case, I still feel a lesser person.' No-one else would remotely agree. Her latest achievement is to have completed the London Marathon in her wheelchair, raising a quarter of a million pounds for the MS Society. Most people would be exhausted just navigating her daily life – there are issues entering buildings, crossing roads and going to the loo – let alone being a director of a blue-chip company as well. She is understandably ambivalent about her condition. At the same time as perceiving it as a flaw, she also acknowledges it as a superpower, that has enabled her to make a far bigger impact. 'Without it, I would have just been a director like lots of others. But because of the combination of my career and my MS, I can do things nobody else can,' she says. Even before her diagnosis, as a woman from a modest family background, Weller had defied the odds to reach the top in corporate Britain, which at the start of her career was still dominated by privately-schooled men. Brought up in Weymouth, Dorset, she went to the local grammar school and won a place at New College Oxford to read chemistry. 'I struggled a lot socially and a bit academically too,' she says. She excelled despite her self-doubt, gaining a first-class degree and a research prize as well as playing badminton for the university. Weller learned to be resilient at an early age. Her father died when she was just 14. She and her elder sister, Fiona, had to be self-reliant because their mother, now 96, was busy caring for their dad. 'Overwhelmingly, that was a good thing. The marginal downside is I am reluctant to ask for help.' 'My mum was not a rabid feminist, but she definitely believed that women could do things. She has always been behind me, and that is the most powerful thing. I try to do that with my children.' Her first job was at Mars, which at the time was an incubator for future chief executives. Her contemporaries included Allan Leighton, who became boss of Asda, and Richard Baker, a former chief at Boots. Having worked on filled chocolate bars, including Bounty, Twix and Snickers, she left when it became too hard to juggle the job with her two children, Sophie and Adam, now both adults. Her later roles included a senior position at Sainsbury's, where she was pipped for the top job by Justin King in 2004. 'Justin started the same day as me at Mars, so you can imagine how that felt,' she says. Does she regret never having been a FTSE 100 chief executive? She doesn't answer directly, but says she was approached by grocer Morrisons in 2008 and 'concluded I didn't want to do it.' It was around that time, in her late forties, that she discovered she had MS. 'I was always somebody who planned for tomorrow, because my parents were always preparing for the day my dad died. With my diagnosis, my mindset changed to live for today, because I don't know what I will be able to do tomorrow.' More was to come as her marriage unravelled. Her divorce in 2014 was 'painful on a level way beyond anything else. It was much worse than my diagnosis.' 'I learned I had MS in a world where I had a supportive family and a career. Suddenly, the support system fell away. 'It took away the whole underpinning of my story. My narrative had to be rewritten. I have never wanted another partner, for two reasons: one is that I failed the first time, even though I thought I made a good choice, so why would I think I wouldn't fail again? 'And I think, why would anybody want to link up with someone who has a terminal condition? To protect myself from a sense of rejection, it is easier to say I don't want a partner. No-one that I would want would want me.' Her life is busy and fulfilled with her children, wider family, her friends and her work. 'A partner would have to fit into a little corner of my world, which is not fair. There are odd occasions when I feel a bit bereft, if I'm at an event and everyone else has a partner, but I have chosen this way.' Inevitably, she says, there have been 'days when I would just want to sit in a corner and dissolve into tears'. 'But work has always been my safety blanket and a reason to keep going. It has become my raison d'etre. I can contribute more now.'

KIM Kardashian makes her fans cross by wearing rosary beads while posing in her underwear. The star’s shoot for her SKIMS collaboration with Dolce & Gabbana saw her website crash as so many rushed to place orders. The limited-edition A Duo A La Dolce Vita collection was almost sold out yesterday.
