Aussie super influencer and ‘s have officially surrounded by friends, family and fellow influencers. After months upon months of rumours of a , Tammy and Matthew have hushed the haters by officially putting rings on it, if ya catch my drift. According to the Daily Mail, the highly-anticipated wedding took place over the weekend in NSW’s Byron Bay at the oh-so-fancy Chateau Du Solei. In cheeky paparazzi photos obtained by the publication, Tammy can be seen sporting a divine blush pink gown, that gave major vibes. IYKYK. As for the host, Matt was sporting the regular tux, but regardless, the ‘fit absolutely matched the romantic set-up the pair had prepared for their big day. Peep the lush wedding photos right . What was really interesting about the set-up was that the guests seemed to be seated around a pool with the seats slightly angled towards the couple during the ceremony. Maybe this is a rich people thing, but this is definitely a unique seating plan to what I usually see at the weddings I go to. But hey, we’re in totally different tax brackets, so who knows? The publication also reported that an insider source shared that Tammy’s father, , missed the ceremony due to a “last-minute injury”. Some notable guests included fellow influencer , and Matthew’s podcast co-host . Prior to the nuptials, Matt received a shit tonne of criticism from Tammy’s fans after on the beloved influencer. However, the former reality TV star clapped back at the rumours after an influencer sleuth page accused him of cheating after he was spotted at an event speaking to other women without a ring. “I don’t normally comment on this stuff, but thought I’d jump in here. They are my mates and we have the same management so we have met at many events before,” Zukowski wrote in response to the scathing post. “I was invited to this event weeks ago and would have gone whether my fiancée was in Australia or not.” The podcaster went on to slam the anonymous internet sleuth, telling them to “get a life”. “You guys need to get a life. Seriously it’s so strange how obsessed you are with people you have never met and know only from on social media,” he wrote. “Also you know the man gets a wedding band after the marriage? Some of us don’t wear engagement rings.” Tammy never addressed the cheating rumours. However, fans noticed that the pair would unfollow each other on Instagram every now and then, which fuelled rumours of a breakup. Now that they’ve officially tied the knot, I guess those rumours can be officially put to bed. And honestly, I love this for her. She truly deserves her fairytale ending!
Somerset House has been a key part of London's landscape for hundreds of years, with its grand architecture and prominent position close to the River Thames and the Covent Garden area. > Watch NBC Bay Area News 📺 Streaming free 24/7 But its leaders say its current role as a center for arts and culture is not fully understood, with one even describing it as "London and the U.K.'s best-kept secret." While its courtyard is well known as a striking venue for a winter ice rink and summer movie screenings, people are less aware that hundreds of artists and creatives work within its walls. And as it approaches 25 years in its most recent guise, the organization wants to raise its profile — in 2025, there will be a raft of exhibitions and events aiming to show off its artistic endeavors. "There wasn't a ... moment when Somerset House was revealed in its full glory. And, in a way, next year is a kind of belated moment to do that," said Jonathan Reekie, director of the Somerset House Trust, the organization that preserves the building and its activities for the public. Somerset House has had many transformations. Queen Elizabeth I lived there in the 16th century, and since then it has been a Navy headquarters, a home for the Royal Academy of Arts and a newspaper tax office, before being completely rebuilt in 1801. "In the ... 1770s, 1780s, [King] George III needed to build an 'office block' for his newly formed civil service. So, this is what he built," Reekie said as he took CNBC on a tour. With four large wings surrounding the large, cobbled courtyard (plus a "new" wing added in the 19 th century), the striking Renaissance property housed the multiple offices of the U.K. government's tax and excise authority for more than 150 years — and in more recent times, the courtyard was even covered with asphalt and used as a parking lot. In 1997, the house gained charitable status after a long campaign led by author and newspaper editor Simon Jenkins and philanthropist Lord Rothschild. "When Somerset House ... opened to the public in May 2000, this building was still mostly full of civil servants," Reekie said. "My predecessors basically had to negotiate with each government department to get rid of them," he said. The tax authority — now known as His Majesty's Revenue and Customs — finally closed its Somerset House office in 2011. Its current role is that of a "self-sustaining home to cultural innovators," according to Somerset House Trust chair Gail Rebuck, speaking at an event in September. But its varied facets are not always well understood, she said. When a fire broke out in August, there was an "outpouring of concern," Rebuck said, but "people struggled to describe Somerset House," she said of news reports at the time. "That's our fault, in a way, and something we want to correct ... We're a very special creative cluster," Rebuck said. "It's also London and the U.K.'s best-kept secret ... it's really important that the 3 million visitors who come through our doors actually know what goes on underneath," she said — Somerset House was the U.K.'s 10th most-visited attraction in 2023, with 2.7 million visits according to the Association of Leading Visitor Attractions . Rebuck referred to the network of rooms and areas that are home to multiple artists and creatives who work from the building, in offices, co-working places and studios. When Reekie joined the organization in 2014, he was asked what Somerset House should "be." "Part of the question in terms of how would it work as a cultural space is: what can you do with lots of rooms?" he said. One of Reekie's first jobs was to transform what was essentially a long corridor of government offices into rooms that would be desirable to artists — which now make up Somerset House Studios — raising money to do so from scratch. The artists' rent is subsidized by Somerset House's activities: It makes most of its income — £21.2 million ($27.5 million) for the financial year ending March 31, 2023 — from its own events like the ice rink and arts exhibitions curated in-house, as well as from hiring spaces to other organizations such as the 1-54 Contemporary African Art Fair. There are now around 60-70 artists, teams or collectives working in Somerset House Studios, overseen by director Marie McPartlin. The studios' first resident in 2016 was British fashion designer Gareth Pugh, and composer Anna Meredith was its second, with many others working in the visual arts. "Most of them are doing socially-engaged work ... or engaging with emergent, evolving and advanced technologies," McPartlin said. Artists are encouraged to collaborate — one high-profile name was turned down a studio place because of concerns that they would not have been on site enough of the time. "The community is the most important thing," McPartlin said. "The majority of artists don't have gallery representation — it's such a precarious existence ... really quickly, we realized that long-term support is something Somerset House was able to offer." Artists are resident for between one and seven years, with some on site for up to 10 years. In 2025, McPartlin will curate sculpture "The Spell or The Dream" by Turner Prize-winning artist Tai Shani, a resident of the studios, which will sit at the courtyard's center in August and September. Inspired by a sleeping beauty-type figure, it will reflect "on the urgent contemporary issues of our time," according to a release. McPartlin will also curate an artwork by resident artists Lydia Ourahmane and Sophia Al Maria, which will explore the idea of the "right to remain," according to a release, while BAFTA-nominated filmmaker and resident Akinola Davies Jr will screen a new movie in the courtyard that will look at the "everyday rituals" of black life in the U.K. Other highlights for 2025 will include "Salt Cosmologies," an installation that will map out India's Inland Customs Line, the extraordinary story of a 2,500 mile-long hedge put in place by the British East India Company to enforce its Salt Tax in the late 19th century. And an immersive exhibition by choreographer Wayne McGregor, named "Infinite Bodies," will be the culmination of Somerset House's 25-year celebration. Near the studios is Makerversity, a community of about 300 designers and makers, who share a wood workshop, photography studio and other "maker" spaces tucked close to the underside of Waterloo Bridge, at the far west border of Somerset House. And there is also The Exchange, a co-working space for creatives, and the Black Business Residency, a program for black entrepreneurs. "Having great artists in the center of London seems quite essential ... the thinking was to make it completely interdisciplinary," Reekie said.Suspect charged with murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO in NYC after arrest in Pennsylvania

What we know about Luigi Mangione, the former Ivy League grad arrested and linked to UnitedHealthcare CEO's killingMomentum Stock AppLovin Tumbles After Getting Rejected - Investor's Business DailyLifestyle Don't miss out on the headlines from Lifestyle. Followed categories will be added to My News. The trend has taken the internet by storm , as social media users discuss the savvy trick . "Check-in chicken" involves flyers waiting until check-in is almost closed until reserving a seat, in the hope of nabbing one with extra legroom or by an emergency exit. The hack was highlighted by travel influencer and cheap holiday expert Chelsea Dickenson on her TikTok channel (below). She claims airlines, which charge to pre-book seats, separate parties travelling together by putting them "in the bad seats" leaving the coveted spots up for grabs. In a video she said: "Essentially, what they do is they palm off the middle seats or the back of the plane in the hope that you will then pay to change your seat. "And if you sit tight and wait, you will see that the only ones left are extra legroom seats and the ones at the front of the plane.” @cheapholidayexpert Was this too last minute?! 😰 🛫 Send this to someone who loves to leave checking in a little too late... 🙈 🐔 WHAT IS CHECK IN CHICKEN? 🐔 Check in Chicken is when you leave your online check in for Wizz Air and Ryanair late in the hope that you get allocated a better seat. 💺 WHY DO YOU GET A BETTER SEAT IF YOU L EAVE CHECK IN LATE? 💺 Wizz Air and Ryanair both do three things: 1. They charge for seats 2. They actively split up people travelling together 3. They often place people in ‘bad seats’ - i.e. middle seats and those away from the exits All of this means that as time ticks on, often the seats that are left available are the ‘good seats’ - i.e. upfront and extra legroom 🤔 DOES IT ACTUALLY WORK? 🤔 Yep! I actually can’t remember the last time I didn’t get an extra legroom seat because of doing this!! ⚠️ BUT WHAT’S THE RISK? ⚠️ The small risk - as you have seen in this video - is that you leave check in too late and there’s no seats left. This is because airlines can overbook planes due to the chance that a small percentage of passengers won’t show up for the flight. Now, technically the airline shouldn’t automatically boot off those that were last to check in - they’re supposed to ask if anyone is willing to give up their seat first (they get another flight plus compensation so some may well go for it) but often they just stick it on those who have left check in chicken a little too late... 😭 HOW BIG IS THE RISK?! 😭 Wizz Air and Ryanair both have a fairly high average load factor - around 94% - and so planes are often close to full. However, it is true that some passengers don’t show up and there are still plenty of flights that aren’t completely full. Overall, they wouldn’t overbook if they were losing money on the situation - which they would be if it happened often since they’d need to rebook your flight, put you up in accommodation if needed and give you compensation. 💁♀️ MY TOP TIP 💁♀️ Don’t leave Check in Chicken until the last moment - you need to be checking the seating plan throughout the day and check in when only good seats are left! 📣 LET ME KNOW... Would you do this?! And has anyone ever been on an overbooked plane?! #wizzair #checkin #overbookedflight ♬ original sound - Cheap Holiday Expert But the "chicken" tactic could leave you without a seat if the flight is overbooked, Chelsea warned. It's therefore best not to leave it until the very last minute and keep a close eye on the seats throughout the day, she added. Play your cards right and you might score an exit row, for free. Picture: iStock Leaving check-in until the last minute will also "add stress to your day," travel expert Adam Duckworth told Fox News. It's also difficult to nail the technique and to do it properly requires "regularly monitoring seat maps", which can be very time consuming. Adam said: "For many of us, the time is better spent packing and getting everything in order around the house before our travels, "This trend will suck up a lot of your time, and you should ask yourself, ‘What is my time worth?’ And be very careful, because if you do this wrong and wait too long, you could lose your seat all together." The hack we love at Escape that's a little like check-in chicken? It may seem counter intuitive, but book these seats for you and your travel companion. Myself and some fellow colleagues are fans of the strategy where you book an aisle and window seat for yourself and your travel companion in a row of three seats. The thinking is that nobody will want to select that dreaded middle seat, and you might end up with an entire row to yourself. If somebody does end up booking that middle seat, you can just politely ask them if they would prefer the window or aisle seat if you want to sit next to your partner. This has worked for me three out of the past four times I've tried it, and we've ended up with the row all to ourselves. Give it a whirl. It's not just 'check-in chicken'. This year was also the year 'gate licing' cropped up as a travel term ... Group of people standing in queue at boarding gate. Focus on female hand holding suitcase handle. This follows the rise of "gate licing" another travel hack which grew in popularity at the end of last year. The term is one used by air travel workers to describe passengers who crowd around boarding gates before their designated boarding time. The objective is to be among the first to board the plane and secure bag space in the overhead lockers. It's believed the phenomenon became more popular after the pandemic when passengers had heightened travel anxiety. Similarly, when people see others lining up, they tend to follow suit. Shira Gabriel, a psychology professor at the University of Buffalo, told told The Washington Post : “People will do any weird thing if they think that’s the way to behave. “When you see people lining up, getting ready, it makes you feel there’s a benefit for that”. And let's not be forgetting, raw-dogging ... Raw dogging was the most viral travel trend of 2024. Pictures via TikTok The term 'raw-dogging' has long been slang for unprotected sex, popular with young men. But in 2024, unpredictably, it made its way into the travel space. @manlikeadem new pb unlocked #rawdogging #travel #flight #viral #xyzbca #fyp ♬ original sound - strongsack Around June/July 2024, people on TikTok started joking around, saying they were "raw dogging" flights by sitting in their seat without any kind of aid to get them through their flight, embracing the "raw" experience of the flight without watching any movies, listening to any music or looking at their phone. You had to stay awake too. In more extreme versions, you were not allowed to take bathroom breaks or eat food either, or wear a sleep mask. The basic idea was to watch the flight map and endure the flight in all its spectacular boredom with no protection in the form of audio or visual stimulation, as part of a mental toughness challenge. Nope. We don't get it either.

Please enable JavaScript to read this content. Kenya has now walked the data protection journey for five years, a period that has been marked with very unique experiences and that has taught us immense lessons as we charted unknown waters. While we may not have started the journey long ago, those five years have taught us that enacting the Data Protection Act in 2019 was a bold step for the country, towards protecting the privacy of citizens. The Office of the Data Protection Commissioner (ODPC) has been in place for an even shorter period (since 2020), but the milestones we have achieved as a nation have started us off on a journey that we will never step back, protecting the dignity of every citizen through protection of their personal information. Data protection in Kenya, like anywhere else, is a critical component towards strengthening the right to privacy, digital security, and ensuring regulatory compliance in the digital age. Moreover, in the backdrop of the global advancements in digital technologies and the surge in emerging technologies, strong data protection frameworks become vital in leveraging opportunities for economic growth. Today, many Kenyans have become conscious of giving out their personal information since everyone wants the assurance that it will not be mishandled or used for the wrong purposes. This is a reflection of continued growth in our society, a proof that personal information is no longer a product to be treated just casually. And with Kenya’s digital revolution matching alongside global trends, immense networking and even economic opportunities that have come with this new sector have also brought forth the challenge of protecting users’ personal data, since we all leave our personal information when we register at different websites and other internet platforms. In a world that is rapidly digitising, new threats regarding data protection emerge on a daily basis, but we always have to be prepared. Over the four years, the ODPC has issued eight guidance notes, documents that have been key in enforcing compliance with personal data protection by thousands of data controllers and processors across diverse sectors of the economy. Through the support of National Assembly, we have also developed several regulations to entrench data privacy in Kenya, including Data Protection (General) Regulations, 2021, Data Protection (Complaints Handling and Enforcement Procedures) Regulations, 2021 and Data Protection (Registration of Data Controllers & Data Processors) Regulations, 2021, helping us regulate different aspects of personal data protection. Engaging the public on data protection matters while also educating data controllers and processors on the importance of protecting people’s personal information is very impactful and is setting us ahead to lead regional and global conversations on data protection and data governance These have been some of the areas the ODPC has focused on over the past four years since creation of the office, ensuring that Kenyans personal information when they register at a building, are served at hospitals or different companies where they provide their personal information in order to get services, is treated with care. In recognition that some challenges with regards to data protection affect just small sections of the economy, we have also developed guidance notes on data protection, four of which are sector-specific. What is clear is that more Kenyans are becoming aware of their privacy rights and we are receiving an increasing number of informed complaints, a trend that has also had an impact on the ODPC which has enhanced its capacity to serve Kenyans more efficiently. As a result, we have resolved 88 per cent of the complaints we have received from members of the public to date. Stay informed. Subscribe to our newsletter However, even as we forge ahead, major challenges remain. Key among them is the rapid advancement in technologies. Also, while we continue to enlighten the public on its rights with regards to the protection of personal data, there still remains some work to be done to bring everyone into the fold.

AUBURN, Alabama -- No. 15 Texas A&M hopes to stay in the College Football Playoff conversation as the Aggies travel to Jordan-Hare Stadium today to face an Auburn team looking to salvage a disappointing season. The primetime SEC matchup will air on ESPN starting at 7:30 p.m. Eastern. Several streaming services will broadcast the SEC game live and you can watch on Fubo (free trial and $30 off your first month), DirecTV Stream (free trial) or Sling (promotional offers). Dave Flemming and Louis Riddick will have the call. Texas A&M (8-2, 5-1 SEC) is coming off a 38-3 victory over New Mexico State after South Carolina derailed the Aggies’ path to the 12-team playoff with a blowout win two weeks earlier. Freshman dual-threat quarterback Marcel Reed had his best game so far, accounting for 309 yards of total offense and three touchdowns. The Aggies will also need another big effort from Amari Daniels, who rushed for a 71-yard touchdown scamper in his first game as RB1 after starter Le’Veon Moss suffered a season-ending knee injury against the Gamecocks. But Auburn’s defense, which gives up less than three yards per rush and under 19 points per game, could be a problem. Auburn (4-6, 1-5 SEC) enters the game determined to avoid its worst season since 2012. Wins against Texas A&M today and Alabama next week will do that and keep the Tigers eligible for a bowl. But the Tigers must get more consistent play from Payton Thorne. The senior quarterback is coming off a five-touchdown performance (including three to freshman wide receiver Cam Coleman) against ULM. But he’s been plagued by turnover problems and has been sacked 23 times this season. For the Tigers to win, they’ll have to control the line of scrimmage. Luckily, they have one of the best running backs in the FBS in Jarquez Hunter. The senior has rushed for 1,015 yards this season (7.0 YPC) and five touchdowns. They’ll face an Aggies defense that, while talented, has been exploited several times this season. Texas A&M is a slight 2.5-point favorite to win.

The sun, the moon and the truth,” said Skyers, a dancer. Dancing is his truth. “As early as I can remember, dancing has always been my first love and my heart and my safe space,” said Skyers. Dancing is his safe space because where he grew up in Jamaica, he did not feel safe. Skyers and his family moved to the United States when he was a child. “Human rights is still not human rights, especially for people of LGBT,” said Skyers. “There were live actual beheadings of people who are comfortable in their skin, in that aspect.” That is what makes his most recent performance special. Skyers dances with the Herrera Dance Project. They performed at the celebration of the 76th Anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights at Dallas City Hall. “The city has had an onslaught of hate crimes, crimes against people because of who they are or who they allegedly are from gay people, women, people of color,” said Rick Halperin, Human Rights Dallas co-founder and SMU professor. Human Rights Dallas is a new organization protecting civil, political, social, cultural and economic rights. They said this was the first human rights celebration of its kind at Dallas City Hall. “Our goal is to help educate people so they can demand their rights, to be proud of their rights and to work in support of others who are less fortunate than themselves,” said Halperin. That support is what Skyers gets from his teacher, Favian Herrera. “Having that experience creates a unique moment in time that transcends that moment,” said the Herrera Dance Project co-founder. “He just doesn't dance.

Unlike scores of people who for the blockbuster drugs Ozempic and Wegovy to lose weight in recent years, Danielle Griffin had no trouble getting them. The 38-year-old information technology worker from New Mexico had a prescription. Her pharmacy had the drugs in stock. And her covered all but $25 to $50 of the monthly cost. For Griffin, the hardest part of using the new drugs wasn’t access. It was finding out that the didn’t really work for her. “I have been on Wegovy for a year and a half and have only lost 13 pounds,” said Griffin, who watches her diet, drinks plenty of water and exercises regularly. “I’ve done everything right with no success. It’s discouraging.” In clinical trials, most participants taking Wegovy or Mounjaro to treat obesity lost an average of 15% to 22% of their body weight — up to 50 pounds or more in many cases. But roughly 10% to 15% of patients in those trials were “nonresponders” who lost less than 5% of their body weight. Now that millions of people have used the drugs, several obesity experts told The Associated Press that perhaps 20% of patients — as many as 1 in 5 — may not respond well to the medications. It’s a little-known consequence of the obesity drug boom, according to doctors who caution eager patients not to expect one-size-fits-all results. “It’s all about explaining that different people have different responses,” said Dr. Fatima Cody Stanford, an obesity expert at Massachusetts General Hospital The drugs are known as GLP-1 receptor agonists because they mimic a hormone in the body known as glucagon-like peptide 1. Genetics, hormones and variability in how the brain regulates energy can all influence weight — and a person’s response to the drugs, Stanford said. Medical conditions such as sleep apnea can prevent weight loss, as can certain common medications, such as antidepressants, steroids and contraceptives. “This is a disease that stems from the brain,” said Stanford. “The dysfunction may not be the same” from patient to patient. Despite such cautions, patients are often upset when they start getting the weekly injections but the numbers on the scale barely budge. “It can be devastating,” said Dr. Katherine Saunders, an obesity expert at Weill Cornell Medicine and co-founder of the obesity treatment company FlyteHealth. “With such high expectations, there’s so much room for disappointment.” That was the case for Griffin, who has battled obesity since childhood and hoped to shed 70 pounds using Wegovy. The drug helped reduce her appetite and lowered her risk of diabetes, but she saw little change in weight. “It’s an emotional roller coaster,” she said. “You want it to work like it does for everybody else.” The medications are along with eating behavior and lifestyle changes. It’s usually clear within weeks whether someone will respond to the drugs, said Dr. Jody Dushay, an endocrine specialist at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. Weight loss typically begins right away and continues as the dosage increases. For some patients, that just doesn’t happen. For others, side effects such as nausea, vomiting and diarrhea force them to halt the medications, Dushay said. In such situations, patients who were counting on the new drugs to pare pounds may think they’re out of options. “I tell them: It’s not game over,” Dushay said. Trying a different version of the new class of drugs may help. Griffin, who didn’t respond well to Wegovy, has started using Zepbound, which targets an additional hormone pathway in the body. After three months of using the drug, she has lost 7 pounds. “I’m hoping it’s slow and steady,” she said. Other people respond well to older drugs, the experts said. Changing diet, exercise, sleep and stress habits can also have profound effects. Figuring out what works typically requires a doctor trained to treat obesity, Saunders noted. “Obesity is such a complex disease that really needs to be treated very comprehensively,” she said. “If what we’re prescribing doesn’t work, we always have a backup plan.” ___ The Associated Press Health and Science Department receives support from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute’s Science and Educational Media Group.
