Trump says he can't guarantee tariffs won't raise US prices and won't rule out revenge prosecutionsOne must also consider the impact of travel and recovery time when Real Madrid is involved in midweek and weekend fixtures. Traveling for away matches or international competitions adds additional strain on the players, as they must adapt to different time zones, climates, and playing conditions. The lack of proper rest and recovery time between matches only exacerbates the challenges faced by the players, further raising concerns about their well-being and performance.
The phrase "cold, colder, coldest" takes on a whole new meaning as we brace ourselves for the bone-chilling embrace of winter. Layering up in our warmest clothes, wrapping scarves tightly around our necks, and donning thick gloves becomes a daily ritual as we prepare to face the onslaught of freezing temperatures. The transition from the crisp autumn air to the biting cold of winter can be a shock to the system, leaving us shivering and longing for the warmth of summer days gone by.Advertisement Connor Franta is suing his Heard Well business partners. He says they used the company as a "piggy bank." Franta accuses them of embezzlement to the tune of more than $1 million. Lawyers for all three defendants denied the allegations to Business Insider. YouTube star Connor Franta is suing his business partners, alleging in a lawsuit that they embezzled more than $1 million from the company they cofounded in 2015. In the suit, filed in California Superior Court this week, Franta — a 32-year-old YouTuber with 4.8 million subscribers — is suing his cofounders in Heard Well, a music label that works with influencers. He also names the company's business manager — who is the father of one of the cofounders — as a defendant, accusing him of turning a blind eye to the alleged theft. Advertisement The business partners and manager all denied the allegations in statements to Business Insider. The suit alleges Heard Well cofounder Jeremy Wineberg used an American Express Black Card obtained in the company's name for personal expenses, including international travel, concert tickets, tattoos, groceries, and plastic surgery. The suit says Wineberg "systematically looted the company of essentially every penny," using Heard Well funds to pay the Amex balances. Another cofounder, Franta's former CAA agent Andrew Graham, also "converted thousands of Heard Well dollars" for personal use, the suit alleges. The suit says Graham was not "the principal bad actor." Advertisement CAA is a leading Hollywood talent agency with a digital arm that represents influencers on YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok. The agency works with creators to monetize their followings through brand partnerships, consumer products, and other business ventures. CAA is not named as a defendant in the suit. Wineberg, and to a lesser extent Graham, used the company's earnings as "a de facto personal piggy bank," the suit alleges. Meanwhile, Franta, in the lawsuit, said Lindsay Wineberg & Associates — Heard Well's business manager and accountant, led by Jeremy Wineberg's father — acted negligently by turning the other cheek, "and in doing so negligently facilitated the draining of over $1 million of company monies into the personal pockets of Wineberg (and Graham)." Advertisement Bryan Sullivan, a lawyer for Jeremy Wineberg and Lindsay Wineberg & Associates, said the allegations aren't true. "The lawsuit filed by Connor Franta is without merit," Sullivan told Business Insider in a statement. Sullivan said his clients never "engaged in any misconduct." "We intend to pursue all of our rights and expect to be vindicated in Court," Sullivan said. Advertisement John Shenk, a lawyer for Graham, told BI in a statement that his client "denies the allegations of the complaint and looks forward to defending this case in court." Graham told BI that he no longer represents Franta, nor does CAA. Franta has been on YouTube for more than a decade and is also the author of the memoir "A Work in Progress." He cofounded Heard Well in 2015, with each of the cofounders contributing $2,000 to capitalize the startup, according to an operating agreement that was filed as part of the lawsuit. Advertisement Heard Well published dozens of albums, but Franta "hardly saw a dime of profit directed his way throughout the company's nearly 10-year lifespan," the suit says. This spring, the suit says, Franta learned Heard Well had fallen behind on royalty payments after a YouTube video accused the company of scamming. Heard Well's Instagram account was active as of Thursday , though Franta said in the suit that he's been blocked from the company's social media accounts. Advertisement "Acting with integrity and respect in all my professional endeavors — especially with fellow creators — has always been a top priority for me," Franta told BI in a statement. He said that while the matter had only recently come to his attention, he'd taken action this week "to protect the company and to facilitate its pursuit of all necessary and appropriate legal remedies."In retrospect, there were perhaps warning signs that all was not well. Rumors of suspicious behavior and questionable decisions had circulated within footballing circles, but the true extent of the referee's transgressions was not fully known until it was too late. The adage "hindsight is 20/20" rings true in this case, as many are left lamenting that they did not see the red flags sooner.
As the reigning champions of La Liga, Real Madrid had set their sights on conquering Europe once again. Their journey in the UEFA Champions League was not going as smoothly as expected, with a string of disappointing performances leaving them on the brink of elimination in the group stage. With their European dreams hanging in the balance, the club knew that drastic measures needed to be taken.The Champions League group stage has been nothing short of mesmerizing this season, with powerhouse teams demonstrating their dominance in thrilling matches week after week. However, one team has truly stood head and shoulders above the rest - the reigning 6-time Champions League winner. Their recent performance has been nothing short of spectacular, with a remarkable run of 5 consecutive victories that have left football fans in awe.
Quite what this victory means for Julen Lopetegui will become clear in the coming days. If the West Ham board had already made their decision and Monday night’s 2-1 win over Wolves was always going to be his final outing as Hammers boss, his side produced a fine send-off for the Spaniard. But if it was not yet a case of decision made, then Jarrod Bowen ’s powerful curling effort into the far corner will come to be known as the goal that kept Lopetegui in his job. This visit of his former team had been dubbed ‘El Sackico’ — a win-or-you’re-fired affair for Lopetegui and Wolves manager Gary O’Neil, similarly on the brink. Under this context, it was always going to be a nervy, fraught affair. It became not about performance (and just as well), but about getting the result. Cutting inside Goncalo Guedes and then bending the winner into the corner, Bowen took the match by the scruff of the neck. His celebration felt as important as the goal. The England player held aloft a West Ham shirt that read ‘Antonio 9’ — a tribute to his team-mate Michail Antonio , the club's all-time Premier League top scorer, who may not play again after needing surgery on a lower limb fracture following a car accident on Saturday afternoon. Every West Ham player’s shirt from the game will be signed by the whole squad, including Antonio, and auctioned off to raise money for the NHS and the Air Ambulance UK charity. The club will match the proceeds raised. Antonio was watching on from his hospital bed as his side played out a goalless first half which they just about edged, but the Hammers were much improved after the interval. In truth, the whole game was. Was it because of half-time words delivered by an under-pressure Lopetegui? Whatever the reason, West Ham looked roused. Tomas Soucek netted a looping header from Bowen’s corner to give them the lead, and only VAR and the ever-so-slightly premature run from Mohammed Kudus before tapping home stopped them going 2-0 up. The excellent equaliser powered home soon after by Matt Doherty demonstrated the wafer-thin margins of a match of this magnitude. O’Neil was punching the air in delight. The final say would be West Ham’s, though, as Bowen curled the winner past Sam Johnstone just seconds after Wolves rightly had a penalty appeal checked and cleared by VAR. Fine margins in this game, and in the league table too. West Ham, in 14th place, are just seven points off the top five.

Guide Dogs NSW/ACT hosted its annual graduation ceremony on Wednesday, ahead of International Day of People with Disability on December 3. Guide dog mobility instructor Claire Northrop with Beau. Picture by Karleen Minney After completing 20 weeks of intensive training, Eton, Fae, Gloria, and Flick were rewarded with their first harnesses. These four-legged graduates will soon be matched with their handlers, following in Sadie's footsteps to provide a life of independence to vision-impaired handlers across NSW and the ACT. Puppy trainer Carla Zakersewski outlined confidence, initiative, and obedience, as key traits for future guide dogs. "At the end of the day they are dogs, so trying to teach them not to pick up that hamburger off the ground or avoid those chips that have fallen on the footpath can be quite challenging, especially for a labrador - they love their food", said Ms Zakersewski. The graduating dogs. Picture by Karleen Minney Ms Zakersewski said that just like people, each pooch had a unique personality. "They're all so different - Flick's a bit of a firecracker and quite energetic, compared to Gloria who is cool, calm and collected, so complete opposites those two," she said. Guide Dog mobility instructor Claire Northtrop said the dogs' diverse personalities meant there was not a one-size-fits-all approach; instead, the pathway was catered to each labrador's individual qualities. "During the training process the dogs themselves choose the pathway that they will take. Not all dogs have the skills for guiding, so then it's determined that the dog may be more suited to a different career pathway," she said. Whether guiding their handlers through the bustling streets, or giving a comforting cuddle at home, these labradors sure do make a loyal and loving companion.
