Most Expensive Thing On Me Is My Skin – Toke MakinwaPepperoni is a highly popular pizza topping, and for good reason. Whether it's the wide, flat circles of , the fermented log of beef, pork, and spices is a perfect topping for . The virtue of pepperoni as a pizza topping is not in question. But the classic combination of cheese, sauce, and bread is highly versatile. There is much more to the world of delicious pizzas than either cheese, pepperoni, sausage, veggie, or supreme. A good way to start exploring the near limitless depths of good pizza combinations is to change up a familiar protein. As a protein option, pork has a rich depth of textures and flavors possible, varieties which often work well as pizza toppings. Keeping in mind the culinary rule of thumb that good flavor takes time, an easy and delicious pepperoni replacement on your next pizza is leftover pulled pork.

Clancy spoke out on the subject during a December 4 Patch Notes broadcast in response to a viewer who reported seeing lower ad revenue for channels they moderate during the holidays. In November, Twitch introduced new labels specifically for political content and streams with “sensitive social issues,” which Clancy touched on in his answer. “There’s been a lot of confusion around this recently... a big thing that we need to do with advertisements is make sure we’re running ads against content that the advertisers want their content run against,” Clancy said. “For a period of time, there were a number [of advertisers] that were expressing concerns around being shown up near sensitive subjects in politics, and so we had reduced the ads there. Some people that were doing stuff around politics and sensitive social issues may have seen a reduction, because some advertisers weren’t running ads there.” 🚨Twitch CEO Dan Clancy and MerryKish speak on Twitch streamers seeing a reduction in their Twitch Ad Revenue after Dan claimed streamers would make more money off Ads During Q4❗️🤦🏾‍♂️ pic.twitter.com/Z7YcQLja16 This isn’t necessarily a new revelation; in November 2024, streamers like PirateSoftware explained that broadcasters who’d labeled their content as sexual or political were likely seeing a drop in ad revenue , which several spoke out about during that time. Dan Clancy opens up on Twitch ad revenue “confusion” Clancy even referenced PirateSoftware in his answer during the Patch Notes stream, going on to explain that some streamers might not realize their ad revenue is delayed by two days — something PirateSoftware also mentioned in his discussion of the topic last month. Related: “I think there’s a lot of confusion. It’s absolutely the case that certain content does affect your ads. Our advertisers, at times, adjust their controls in terms of the content that they want to see. But in general, we have not seen this big shift,” he continued, likely referencing fears of an impending ‘adpocalypse’ on the platform. Co-host and Direct of Community Marketing, ‘merrykish,’ went on to decry “misinformation” being spread on platforms like X, saying there’s “nothing really guaranteed” and that “we’ve seen a lot of creators not experience anything.” Clancy’s comments come on the heels of numerous complaints from streamers who reported a decrease in ad revenue due to certain content labels on their streams. For instance, FaZe Kaysan, an Iranian streamer, claimed that he’d been ‘demonetized’ due to labeling his stream ‘Iran,’ while another said the same due to labeling their stream ‘Venezuela.’ Meanwhile, on December 4, Bloomberg reported that three major companies had pulled their ads from the platform amid a series of allegations against the streaming site.

Newcestown into last four after narrow one point win over Valley RoversYPSILANTI, Mich. (AP) — On a damp Wednesday night with temperatures dipping into the 30s, fans in sparsely filled stands bundled up to watch Buffalo beat Eastern Michigan 37-30 on gray turf. The lopsided game was not particularly notable, but it was played on one of the nights the Mid-American Conference has made its own: A weeknight. “A lot of the general public thinks we play all of our games on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, not just some of them in November,” MAC Commissioner Jon Steinbrecher said in a telephone interview this week. “What it has done is help take what was a pretty darned good regional conference and has given it a national brand and made it a national conference.” When the conference has played football games on ESPN or ESPN2 over the last two seasons, the linear television audience has been 10 times larger than when conference schools meet on Saturdays and get lost in the shuffle when viewers have many more choices. The most-watched MAC game over the last two years was earlier this month on a Wednesday night when Northern Illinois won at Western Michigan and there were 441,600 viewers, a total that doesn’t include streaming that isn’t captured by Nielsen company. During the same span, the linear TV audience has been no larger than 46,100 to watch two MAC teams play on Saturdays. “Having the whole nation watching on Tuesday and Wednesday night is a huge deal for the MAC,” Eastern Michigan tight end Jere Getzinger said. “Everybody wants to watch football so if you put it on TV on a Tuesday or Wednesday, people are going to watch.” ESPN has carried midweek MAC football games since the start of the century. ESPN and the conference signed a 13-year extension a decade ago that extends their relationship through at least the 2026-27 season. The conference has made the most of the opportunities, using MACtion as a tag on social media for more than a decade and it has become a catchy marketing term for the Group of Five football programs that usually operate under the radar in Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and New York. Attendance does tend to go down with weeknight games, keeping some students out of stadiums because they have class or homework and leading to adults staying away home because they have to work the next morning. “The tradeoff is the national exposure,” Buffalo coach Pete Lembo said. “You know November nights midweek the average fan is going to park on the couch, have a bowl of chips and salsa out in front, and watch the game from there." When the Bulls beat Ball State 51-48 in an overtime thriller on a Tuesday night earlier this month, the announced attendance was 12,708 and that appeared to be generous. There were many empty seats after halftime. “You watch the games on TV, the stadiums all look like this,” Buffalo fan Jeff Wojcicki said. “They are not packed, but it’s the only game on, and you know where to find it.” Sleep and practice schedules take a hit as well, creating another wave of challenges for students to attend class and coaches to prepare without the usual rhythm of preparing all week to play on Saturday. “Last week when we played at Ohio in Athens, we had a 4-four bus ride home and got home at about 3:30 a.m.,” Eastern Michigan center Broderick Roman said. “We still had to go to class and that was tough, but it's part of what you commit to as an athlete.” That happens a lot in November when the MAC shifts its unique schedule. During the first two weeks of the month, the conference had 10 games on Tuesdays and Wednesdays exclusively. This week, there were five games on Tuesday and Wednesday while only one was left in the traditional Saturday slot with Ball State hosting Bowling Green. Next week, Toledo plays at Akron and Kent State visits Buffalo on Tuesday night before the MAC schedule wraps up with games next Friday and Saturday to determine which teams will meet in the conference title game on Dec. 7 in Detroit. In all, MAC teams will end up playing about 75% of their games on a Saturday and the rest on November weeknights. When the Eagles wrapped up practice earlier this week, two days before they played the Bulls, tight end Jere Getzinger provided some insight into the effects of the scheduling quirk. “It's Monday, but for us it's like a Thursday,” he said. Bowling Green coach Scot Loeffler said he frankly has a hard time remembering what day it is when the schedule shift hits in November. “The entire week gets turned upside down,” Loeffler said. “It’s wild, but it’s great for the league because there’s two days a week this time of year that people around the country will watch MAC games.” AP freelance writer Jonah Bronstein contributed to this report.

By Abby Patkin Jury selection in the murder trial of Brian Walshe — the Cohasset man accused of killing and dismembering his wife last year — is tentatively slated to begin in October 2025. Walshe, 49, was back in Norfolk Superior Court Monday for a hearing before Judge Diane Freniere, who was recently assigned to oversee his case. The lawyers told Freniere they’re eyeing the week of Oct. 20 for jury impanelment. Prosecutor Gregory Connor said the attorneys are expecting a four-week trial, about three weeks of which will be dedicated to testimony. Walshe’s sensational case has grabbed headlines since his wife, Ana Walshe, was last seen alive on New Year’s Day in 2023. Prosecutors allege he made a series of disturbing Google searches about dead bodies and purchased a hacksaw , hatchet, and various cleaning products shortly after his wife’s disappearance. Ana Walshe’s body has still not been found. Brian Walshe has pleaded not guilty to charges of first-degree murder, misleading police, and improper conveyance of a human body. Defense attorney Larry Tipton noted Monday that forensic testing in the high-profile case “is extremely complicated, and it’s still ongoing.” Connor explained prosecutors are still awaiting testing on one key piece of evidence, tissue allegedly found on a saw discovered in a dumpster near Walshe’s mother’s Swampscott apartment complex. He noted the tissue samples have been sent to Bode Technology, an external lab. Walshe’s lawyers have also raised questions about the investigation’s integrity, given the lead investigator — Massachusetts State Police Trooper Michael Proctor — was suspended without pay following his testimony in the Karen Read murder trial last summer. During the trial, Proctor admitted to sending vulgar texts about Read to his family, friends, and coworkers while working on the case. Walshe’s lawyers have requested information from a federal probe of Read’s case . They’re also seeking data from Proctor’s work cell phone and cloud account, as well as certain phone records from investigators assigned to Walshe’s case. Tipton specifically noted an interest in any “text messages and emails and cell phone records that indicate a bias, a prejudice, and a lack of professional integrity when it comes to investigating Mr. Walshe.” Prosecutors have said they don’t plan to call Proctor to the stand when Walshe’s case goes to trial.

Justin Ebert returns to lead the Lady Cougars in his 4th year as head girls basketball coach, and 17th year with Salina South. familiar faces will dot the Salina South starting five as senior Tamia Cheeks is joined by four juniors in Paityn Fritz, Brooklyn Jordan, Elle Barth and Brylee Moss. The Cougars will look to four sophomores in Isabelle Maxton, Lauren Crow, Sophie Daily and Promynce McNeal, and a freshman in Lennon Haas. Q: How do you feel about the state of the program at South and the progress you’ve made over these last few years? A: It’s nice that we’ve made steps and can see the progress we’ve made in things like a winning record last season. We ended the year frustrated with how things went after a really good start and one of our first rankings in a long time but things fizzled out, and we never got going again after the Christmas break. Our girls have taken positive steps forward and are hungry for more.” Q: What feels like the biggest strength of this year’s team ahead of the season? A: We have another year of varsity experience, and that’s the biggest thing. We’re not going to put anyone on the floor that hasn’t seen significant minutes which is big after a season where we had a lot of inexperience. We’re way ahead of where we were last year at this time, and our girls understand what we’re trying to do on offense and defense.” Q: On the other side of that, what are the biggest lingering question marks you still have before this first game? A: We’re still trying to figure out our rotations and depth. We feel good about our starting five, but we’re still finding those pieces that can come off the bench and contribute to scoring, defending and rebounding. We have a lot of girls fighting for time on the varsity court, and we feel like we can go 11 deep if we need to, but we want to trim that down to 8 or 9. It’s an open competitio,n and we’ll see who steps up in the next few weeks. Q: What are the goals and expectations that this team has laid out for themselves this season? A: The first goal we always talk about as a team is where we’re at in our league standings. The AVCTL is tough, and last year we were able to compete with the Hutchinsons and Maizes of the world, but now we want to see if we can go get a Maize South or a Derby. We also talk about playing in the SIT championship game and trying to make a sub-state championship game to give ourselves an opportunity to go play an extra week in March. The Lady Cougars open their regular season this Friday when they travel to Great Bend to battle the Panthers.'I Played 244 Games With Salah at Liverpool - He Frustrated Everyone With His Selfishness'
