Barbara Corcoran is not always on the hunt for intimate time with husband Bill Higgins . The Shark Tank star recently discussed why she and her husband—who tied the knot on Valentine’s Day in 1988—have separate bedrooms and how rarely the pair have sex. "I think there's something to be said about your own private space,” Barbara said during the Dec. 2 episode of The Jamie Kern Lima Show . “I lead a very busy life. I have a huge family that I'm always entertaining. I have very sincere, active friends and so what I need more than anything else is a respite, and my husband is not relaxing." In fact, the real estate mogul—who shares kids Tom , 30, and Kate , 19, with the retired Navy captain—shared that Bill is full of excitement. “He has more ideas in his head that make no sense,” Barbara continued. “For me to come up with the energy at the end of a day to listen to them and to nod and contribute to the conversation, I run a little short." “Better I go to my room, and have an hour to myself,” she added. “If I go to the living room, my husband follows me. I go to my bedroom, he doesn't dare come in.” And when it comes to having intimate moments together, the millionaire investor laughed and explained they only happen on her terms. “I have to invite him into my bedroom,” Barbara shared, “and I like it that way. He's never invited me back 'cause he knows I'll never come into his bedroom. I have to invite him into my bedroom." Explaining that Bill also thinks their arrangement “makes sex better,” she noted, “I like it ‘cause it’s a short thing.” Despite the space Barbara imposes on her marriage, though, she is quick to share how much she loves spending time with Bill. "My idea of a special night with my husband is a good game of Scrabble,” she said. “He'll often say to me S or S, and I'll say, 'Scrabble,' 'cause the first S means sex, and I say, 'No, Scrabble.' I love beating him at Scrabble, and he loves beating me at Scrabble.” “That's a great night,” she added. “That and a glass of wine for me makes a great night. Because I go to my bedroom." Read on to see other shocking confessions stars have made about their sex lives. Katy Perry The "California Gurls" singer revealed how she thanks partner Orlando Bloom for doing the dishes—and it's not what you'd expect. "If I come downstairs and the kitchen is clean, and you've done it all," Katy told Alex Cooper on a September 2024 episode of Call Her Daddy , "and you've done all the dishes, and you've closed all the pantry doors, you better be ready to get your d--k sucked." Chelsea Handler Chelsea is not shy when it comes to sharing her NSFW confessions with the world. In fact, the comedian made headlines when she said a threesome with their masseuse led to her 2010 breakup with Ted Harbert . But after she received a disappointed text from her ex-boyfriend, she had to set the record straight. "I really want to clarify," Chelsea said on an episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon in October 2023. "I want to go on the record that that is not why our relationship ended." "We did have a lot of threesomes‚ and that, while that's private it's already out there," she continued, "so I'm gonna double down on that and just say that we didn't break up because I left him for the masseuse. That didn't happen." Heidi Klum The America's Got Talent judge has something NSFW behind her closet doors—and she calls it her "sex closet." "It's a big closet. But, there's outfits in here and things, you know," she said on The Skinny Confidential Him & Her Show podcast in September 2024. "You can have a lot of things. You can have wigs, you can have outfits, shoes, boots." She even revealed that her daughter Leni Klum accidentally encountered the space. "She found my sex closet," Heidi said on an episode of the Call Her Daddy podcast in January 2024. "She fully knew what it was. But, also she was with a friend and she filmed it and they were giggling, and I was like, 'Oh my God.'" John Cena John shared a behind-the-scenes look into what filming a sex scene is really like. "There is nothing intimate about it," he said on an episode of Club Shay Shay in August 2024. "Nothing. So, like, it's really embarrassing." And looking back to his role in 2015's Trainwreck , he was not prepared for the kind of scenes he would be filming with costar Amy Schumer . "Amy is an angel," he continued. "She made the environment so comfortable, and then when I got the part, eventually they were like, 'Yeah, it's a sex scene and we want you to do elaborate and crazy stunt sex, and all those lines you had? We're probably not going to use them, we're just going to do this stunt sex scene.'" Shailene Woodley Despite describing herself as a "very sexual person," Shailene has shared she has some serious "beef" with porn , naming it the "junk food" of pleasure. "The way that sex is presented on the surface in this country is so fabricated," she said on the She MD podcast in September 2024, "and it’s such a performance instead of true intimacy, vulnerability and connection." "Pleasure is so important, and we just rip each other off of it because I think we don't necessarily even know what’s possible," she continued. "And that’s my big beef with porn is I'm like, 'You’re selling everybody McDonald’s when you could have like, whoa.'" Goldie Hawn After spending four years with partner Kurt Russell , Goldie revealed her biggest secret for a successful, long term relationship —Good sex. “You have to have good sex,” she told E! News in September 2024. “Because sex is something that connects you and creates more belonging. People who have healthy sexual relationships usually last a lot longer. But it's not just because of the act, it's because of the warmth and the intimacy that it creates.” Ice-T Ice-T revealed the secret to his and Coco Austin 's decades-long marriage—and yes, it involves the bedroom. "Jungle sex," he told E! News in January 2024. "That flame has to stay lit." "When that flame goes out and you're not really attracted to each other anymore," he continued, "you have to address that very quickly because it's something that's necessary." Demi Lovato For Demi, the bedroom is where she is most confident . "I feel the most confident when I'm having sex," she told the LadyGang podcast in September 2023. "'Cause you're so present that you're not thinking about what is actually like...what clouds your judgement throughout the rest of the day, or at least that's how it is for me. It's not that way for everybody." Lisa Rinna After spending decades with husband Harry Hamlin , Lisa got candid about how aging has affected their sex lives. "I do think that desire levels change for a man," the actress told Cosmopolitan in January 2024. "That's just the natural evolution of life. So it's figuring out how to coexist without taking that personally as a woman. I think that it's almost more about companionship and about creating space for the ebb and flow of sexuality." "We really have great sex together, and we always have," she continued. "It's just that maybe it doesn't happen quite as often as it did when you're in your 30s and in your 20s, I would say. And I think that's normal." Zoe Saldaña & Marco Perego-Saldaña Zoe and her husband Marco have created a code word to talk about sex around their kids. "We 'play Legos naked,'" Marco revealed on The Drew Barrymore Show in April 2024, Zoe chiming in to clarify that the term means "sexy time." But the couple worried that their older twin boys were catching onto the lingo. "They were like, 'Are you guys kissing? Are you guys gonna go play naked with your Legos?'" Zoe recounted. "And we're like, 'No, we're not going to do that.'"Credit Acceptance Announces Increase and Extension of Revolving Secured Warehouse Facility

A chorus of support is growing behind actress Blake Lively after she filed a complaint alleging sexual harassment and a smear campaign against "It Ends With Us" co-star Justin Baldoni. Actress Amber Heard on Monday became the latest celebrity to speak out on behalf of the "Gossip Girl" alum over what she says was a coordinated social media effort to tarnish her name. Over the weekend, Lively filed a complaint claiming that Baldoni and a lead producer had behaved unacceptably during the filming of box office hit "It Ends With Us." The allegations included that Baldoni -- who also directed the film -- had spoken inappropriately about his sex life, and had sought to alter the film to include sex scenes that were not in the script and had not been agreed to. They also detailed how lead producer Jamey Heath had watched Lively while she was topless, despite having been asked to turn away. But the complaint goes into great detail -- including with texts and emails -- on a PR campaign to wreck her reputation and to divert attention from any public comments she might make about the men's alleged misbehavior. This was "a carefully crafted, coordinated, and resourced retaliatory scheme to silence her, and others from speaking out about the hostile environment that Mr Baldoni and Mr Heath created," the complaint says. It includes allegations that the two men hired a crisis PR team that amplified or planted negative stories about Lively on social media platforms. "You know we can bury anyone," Melissa Nathan, a member of the team, is alleged to have said, according to messages contained in the complaint. Heard's ex-husband Johnny Depp hired the same PR team during the high-profile defamation trial between the couple in 2022, in which a jury unanimously found that Heard defamed Depp over allegations he abused her. "Social media is the absolute personification of the classic saying 'A lie travels halfway around the world before truth can get its boots on,'" Heard said in a statement carried by NBC News. "I saw this firsthand and up close. It's as horrifying as it is destructive." Heard's support came on the heels of a joint statement by America Ferrera, Amber Tamblyn and Alexis Bledel, who starred with Lively in "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants." "As Blake's friends and sisters for over 20 years, we stand with her in solidarity as she fights back against the reported campaign waged to destroy her reputation," they wrote on Instagram. "Throughout the filming of 'It Ends with Us', we saw her summon the courage to ask for a safe workplace for herself and colleagues on set, and we are appalled to read the evidence of a premeditated and vindictive effort that ensued to discredit her voice." A lawyer for Wayfarer, the studio behind the film, said in a statement released to the New York Times that neither the studio, its executives, nor its PR team did anything to retaliate against Lively. "These claims are completely false, outrageous and intentionally salacious with an intent to publicly hurt and rehash a narrative in the media," lawyer Bryan Freedman wrote. The complaint was lodged with the California Civil Rights Department, and is a precursor to a lawsuit. Major Hollywood talent agency WME -- which represents Lively -- has reportedly dropped Baldoni as a client. hg/aha

IVD Contract Manufacturing Market to grow by USD 10.71 Billion (2024-2028), driven by demand for one-stop solutions, with AI shaping market trends - TechnavioGREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Defending the run has been one of the Green Bay Packers’ weaknesses over the last several years. Not so much lately, though. Green Bay limited San Francisco to 16 carries for 44 yards in a 38-10 rout of the 49ers on Nov. 24, with two-time All-Pro Christian McCaffrey gaining 31 yards on 11 attempts. Four nights later, the Packers beat Miami 30-17 by holding the Dolphins to 39 yards on 14 carries. It was the first time since 1995 — and only the second time since 1950 — that the Packers had allowed fewer than 45 yards rushing in back-to-back games within the same season. “I think we’re playing harder and harder each week,” first-year defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley said. “And that’s how you play good defense.” That defense needs to be at its best Thursday as the Packers (9-3) close a stretch of three games in 12 days by visiting the NFC North-leading Detroit Lions (12-1), who have the NFL’s highest-scoring offense thanks in part to a rushing attack featuring the speedy Jahmyr Gibbs and the physical David Montgomery. “Gibbs is a great running back,” defensive lineman Kenny Clark said. “I really think the offense really starts with him, honestly. He can do everything — receive, in-and-out runner, can do stretch, duo plays. We’ve got to have all hands on deck with Gibbs. And then Montgomery, he’s a great complement to him. He can do everything, also.” The Lions were the first team since the 1975 Miami Dolphins to rush for at least 100 yards and a touchdown in each of their first 11 games. The streak ended on Thanksgiving when the Lions rushed for 194 yards but didn’t have a touchdown on the ground in a 23-20 victory over the Chicago Bears. Green Bay outrushed Detroit 138-124 in the Packers’ 24-14 loss to the Lions on Nov. 3 at Lambeau Field. Montgomery rushed for 73 yards while Gibbs ran for 65 yards and a touchdown. Gibbs has 973 yards this season, which ranks fourth in the NFL. Montgomery ran for a combined 192 yards and four touchdowns in the Lions’ two games against the Packers last season. Green Bay’s run defense has come a long way since. The Packers have allowed 106.6 yards rushing per game this season, which ranks eighth in the league. The Packers haven’t closed a season in the top 10 in run defense since 2016 and have finished outside the top 20 in four of the last six years, including 26th in 2022 and 28th in 2023. “I think Haf’s doing a good job of mixing up the fronts and some of the coverages, but really it’s ultimately about tackling, swarming, getting many hats to the football,” Packers coach Matt LaFleur said. “And our guys have really embraced that style of play.” The Packers are yielding 4.2 yards per carry to rank seventh in the league after finishing 22nd or worst in that category each of the last three seasons. They haven’t closed a season ranked in the top 10 in yards allowed per carry since 2017. Hafley says the improvement starts up front. “The interior part of our D-line has done such a good job these last few games,” Hafley said. “They really have. They’re hard to block. They’re staying in their gaps. They’re tearing off of blocks, and it’s the same thing with those defensive ends. They’re setting edges, they’re forcing the ball back inside, they’re getting off blocks and then we’re tackling and we’re running to the ball and there’s multiple people to the ball. “And when you turn on our tape right now and when you freeze it, you see that. You see a lot of guys around the football. And then you’re not afraid, right? Like if I have an open-field tackle and I know eight other guys are coming, I’m going to take my shot because I know if I miss, it’s going to be, ‘Bang, bang, bang,’ we’ve got three or four other guys there, and we’re starting to play faster.” Green Bay's defense has the Lions’ attention. “They’ve been playing well,” Detroit coach Dan Campbell said. “I mean, they have, really, all season, and nothing has changed.” AP Sports Writer Larry Lage contributed to this report.

Rokmaster Resources (CVE:RKR) Trading Down 25% – What’s Next?Share Tweet Share Share Email Blockchain has emerged as a transformative force across various industries. One of its most promising applications is property deed verification, which plays a crucial role in securing ownership records. Property ownership verification ensures transparency, reduces fraud, and streamlines real estate transactions. Traditionally, people have verified property deeds using manual, paper-based systems. These systems are often time-consuming, prone to errors, and vulnerable to fraud. However, blockchain technology provides a secure, immutable, and efficient alternative, transforming the way people record and validate property ownership. Understanding Blockchain Technology Blockchain operates as a decentralized, distributed ledger technology that enables secure and transparent record-keeping. It stores information across a network of computers, ensuring that no single entity controls the data. Each piece of information, or “block,” links to the previous one, forming a continuous chain. Once someone records data on a blockchain , it cannot be altered or tampered with without the consensus of the network participants, making blockchain highly secure and resistant to fraud. The key features of blockchain technology include: Decentralization: No central authority controls the blockchain, reducing the risk of manipulation and fraud. Immutability: Once data is recorded, it cannot be changed or deleted, ensuring the integrity of property records. Transparency: All participants in the blockchain network can access and verify the data, fostering trust and accountability. These characteristics make blockchain an ideal solution for property deed verification, offering a new way to secure ownership records while minimizing the risks associated with traditional methods. The Challenges of Traditional Property Deed Verification Before diving into how blockchain can revolutionize property deed verification, it’s essential to understand the challenges of traditional systems. Real estate transactions have long been plagued by issues such as: Fraud and Forgery: Property deed fraud is a significant concern. Fraudulent activities, such as forging signatures or falsifying property titles, can result in legal disputes and financial losses. Inefficiency: Manual, paper-based systems are slow and prone to errors. Property records are often stored in multiple locations, leading to delays in verifying ownership and transferring properties. Lack of Transparency: Traditional systems can be opaque, making it difficult for buyers, sellers, and other stakeholders to verify the authenticity of property deeds and ownership records. Data Security Risks: Physical property records are vulnerable to theft, natural disasters, and other unforeseen events that can result in the loss or destruction of vital ownership documents. Blockchain addresses these challenges by providing a digital, secure, and transparent method for verifying property deeds. How Blockchain Revolutionizes Property Deed Verification Blockchain technology has the potential to completely overhaul the property deed verification process. By digitizing and decentralizing ownership records, blockchain ensures that property deeds are secure, tamper-proof, and easily accessible. Here’s how it works: Digitization of Property Deeds In a blockchain-based property deed verification system, property deeds are digitized and stored as electronic records on the blockchain. These digital records contain essential details such as the property’s legal description, the owner’s information, and the transaction history. Each deed is associated with a unique identifier, making it easy to track and verify. Immutable Records Once a property deed is recorded on the blockchain, it becomes immutable. This means that no one can alter or delete the information without the consensus of the network participants. This feature eliminates the possibility of forgery or tampering, ensuring that ownership records are accurate and reliable. Decentralized Ownership Verification Blockchain’s decentralized nature ensures that property ownership is verified by a distributed network of participants, rather than relying on a central authority. This reduces the risk of fraud and manipulation by providing an additional layer of security. Each participant in the network has access to the same data, which enhances transparency and trust. Smart Contracts for Property Transactions Smart contracts are self-executing agreements with the terms written directly into code. They can streamline the property transaction process by automating various aspects, such as transferring ownership and releasing payments. In a blockchain-based system, smart contracts remove the need for intermediaries and ensure that transactions complete securely and on time . Real-Time Access to Ownership Records One of the biggest advantages of blockchain for property deed verification is its ability to provide real-time access to ownership records. In a blockchain-based system, everyone involved in the transaction—whether a buyer, seller, or legal professional—can access the most up-to-date and accurate information about the property. This feature eliminates delays caused by waiting for physical records or manual verification. Benefits of Blockchain for Property Deed Verification Enhanced Security Blockchain’s encryption and decentralization make it highly secure. Storing property deeds on a blockchain significantly reduces the risk of data breaches, unauthorized access, or alterations. The immutability of blockchain records guarantees that once someone records a property deed, no one can tamper with it, providing an added layer of protection against fraud. Increased Transparency With blockchain, all participants in the network can access the same information, ensuring that property ownership records are transparent and easily verifiable. Buyers can check the history of a property, confirming its ownership and any past transactions, without relying on third parties or intermediaries. This fosters trust and confidence in the real estate market. Faster Transactions Traditional property transactions can take weeks or even months to complete, primarily due to the time it takes to verify ownership records and transfer documents. Blockchain speeds up this process by automating many aspects of the transaction, including deed verification and transfer of ownership. This significantly reduces the time and cost involved in property deals. Cost Savings By eliminating the need for paper-based records, manual verification, and intermediaries, blockchain can reduce transaction costs. Property buyers and sellers no longer need to pay for title searches, notary fees, or other administrative costs associated with traditional deed verification processes. Smart contracts further reduce the need for middlemen, such as lawyers and real estate agents, allowing parties to conduct transactions directly with one another. Reduced Risk of Fraud Property fraud is a significant issue in real estate, with fraudulent deeds and forged signatures causing major problems for buyers and sellers alike. Blockchain’s immutability and decentralized nature make it nearly impossible for anyone to alter property records or create false deeds. The Future of Blockchain in Property Deed Verification While blockchain is still in the early stages of adoption in the real estate sector, its potential to transform property deed verification is undeniable. Governments and private companies around the world are exploring ways to implement blockchain solutions for land registries and property transactions. Several countries, including Sweden, Georgia, and the United Arab Emirates, have already begun testing blockchain-based property registries, paving the way for broader adoption. As blockchain technology continues to mature, it is likely that more jurisdictions will embrace it as a means of securing property deeds and streamlining real estate transactions. In the future, blockchain could become the standard for property deed verification, offering a faster, more secure, and more efficient alternative to traditional systems. Conclusion Blockchain technology is revolutionizing the way property deeds are verified, offering a secure, transparent, and efficient solution to the challenges of traditional real estate systems. By digitizing ownership records, providing immutable verification, and automating transactions through smart contracts, blockchain has the potential to significantly reduce fraud, enhance security, and speed up property transactions. As the technology continues to gain traction, it could transform the real estate industry , making property ownership verification more accessible and trustworthy than ever before.
