Septoplasty Market Trends and Growth Scenario |Medtronic, Olympus, StrykerA secret millionaire in the I'm a Celebrity camp has been unveiled, earning nearly as much as Coleen Rooney . The WAG is said to have received a whopping £1.5million for her appearance on the popular ITV programme. It's even been suggested that she could easily surpass her footballer husband Wayne's estimated lifetime earnings of £80million. Coleen, 38, has made significant investments in a company now listed on the Stock Exchange for £350million. However, she isn't the only celebrity in camp with impressive earnings outside the show. The camp was recently shaken up with the arrival of Love Island beauty Maura Higgins and author Reverend Richard Coles. But Richard has already reaped the rewards of being the nation's favourite TV vicar. Rev Coles was part of the 80s band The Communards as well as Bronski Beat. He ranks among the highest paid stars due to his successful TV career on shows like Strictly Come Dancing , Celebrity MasterChef, Songs Of Praise and Newsnight Review. Richard has also appeared on Have I Got News For You? and QI. He has worked in radio and has written a series of successful crime novels as well as his autobiography. According to the Sun, Richard's company Mistramark Ltd paid £179,047 in corporation tax over 2022 and 2023. At the time, the rate was 19%, indicating the company made around £940k profit. In the run-up to his adventure Down Under, Richard revealed to the Mirror his unconventional jungle prep, involving a 5000-calorie daily intake on a cruise and shunning 'triggering' nature documentaries about Australia's deadly creatures. The celebrity quipped: "I would like to say that I've been lowering my calorie intake to prepare for that, but that's not worked out so far. I've been trying not to look at nature programs about the horrors of Australia." He confessed his concerns about becoming public enemy number one in camp due to his snoring habits, saying, "everybody wanting to kill me because I keep them awake at night." Highlighting another apprehension, he added: "I am also worried about finding a fear I didn't know I had yet and going to pieces on television in front of a koala or wombat or something." Yet despite his fears, Richard is eager to make history as the first vicar to brave the jungle, noting the historical context with a touch of humour: "I don't think there are many precedents for this, although, vicars have been going into jungles for years and years and years as missionaries." When it comes to potential irritants, he shared with us: "Sniffing. I'm also not naturally a patient person. Also I lived in the monastery for two years." Drawing on past experiences of communal living, he continued: "So I know what it's like to be locked in with people you didn't choose to be with. So I've got some resilience. Except there wasn't food deprivation, instead there was a lot of cake in the monastery. So I don't know what it will be like."Experts have said that training some drivers in growth of the nation’s livestock sector is key to improved productivity of livestock for food security in Nigeria. The co-task team leader of Livestock Productivity and Resilience Support Project (LPRES)/World Bank, Dr. Chidozie Anyiro, made the assertion at the closing ceremony of a weeklong capacity building programme by the Kwara state government and packaged by the Synergy Impact Consultant Limited for an additional 100 extension agents/farmers on small ruminant production and crop residue processing for improved utilisation by ruminants in Ilorin, Kwara. The LPRES team lead also said that consistent training of farmers is key to addressing broader objective of the food security agenda of the federal government. “You cannot improve productivity without addressing some key drivers in the growth of our livestock. For instance, you have to address pasture needs, water needs, among other issues. “So the training of these drivers such as the farmers, extension agents, etc is very key to addressing those constraints that have hindered productivity of our livestock”, he said. Dr. Anyiro, who said that objective of the LPRES project is to improve livestock productivity, resilience, and commercialisation of selected livestock chains, added that the capacity building of the selected farmers/extension agents, who he described as frontliners, is part of the efforts to achieve the broader objective of LPRES. Talking about the need to have adequate number of such people to achieve desired objective, the agricultural expert said that there is a need for consistent training. “Livestock productivity is a gradual process. It’s about consistency. Where we have missed it in the past is in doing a one-off activity and you think it would make significant impact. So, consistency means a lot, making sure that you are connected with people that you have trained and you keep training them because there are a lot of technologies that have come up on a daily basis and you have to keep updating the farmers on the new trend. “It has a lot to do with food security programme of the present government in the country. Yes of course. One focuses on availability, affordability, nutritious food. Before you can achieve the broader food security agenda of the country, there are other sub components that you need to address. So, this training is key to addressing the broader objective of the food security agenda of Mr. President”, he said. Also speaking, the Kwara State Commissioner for Agriculture and Rural Development, Mrs. Toyosi Thomas, who represented Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq, said that the state government decided to invest in the participants to ensure critical growth and development of agricultural production in the state. The governor charged the participants to take the training seriously and put it into practice, saying that they should not see it as one such ordinary training. He encouraged them to scale down the training among members of their various communities, adding that their performance would allow government to continue the training programme for more beneficiaries to enjoy. He expressed happiness that past participants had been training others to improve livelihood among the populace. “Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq is prioritizing human capital development. Especially, the extension agents. We are determined to strengthen the number to over a thousand frontliners from the present number of 500 beneficiaries. “Our target is to have one extension agent in each ward of the state and to ensure mobility, by providing one motorcycle in each ward for effectiveness”.

A Hudson man was sentenced Monday to 21 months in federal prison after being convicted of stealing $342,650 in COVID-19 relief funds and attempting to steal $150,000 more, officials said. Matthew Dispensa, 58, was sentenced in U.S. District Court. In addition to the 21 months, he faces two years of supervised release and he was ordered to pay back the money he took plus an additional $150,000. Dispensa pleaded guilty in February to three counts of bank fraud and one count of attempted wire fraud. “The defendant lied to get hundreds of thousands of dollars in pandemic relief funds designed to mitigate the worst economic and public health crisis in decades,” U.S. Attorney Jane E. Young said. Dispensa fraudulently applied for multiple loans under the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) and Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) programs. In May 2020, he applied for a $90,400 PPP loan from Primary Bank for an entity called Gateway Hills LLC. Gateway Hills LLC had no apparent operations separate from Dispensa’s gym in Nashua, which operated under the name Gateway Hills Club, officials said. In the application, Dispensa provided the bank false supporting documents, such as fraudulent annual and quarterly tax documents and a “management report” for the period ending Dec. 31, 2020, seven months into the future. Dispensa also provided a “payroll summary,” showing he was paid $8,700 per month through Gateway Hills LLC. The defendant’s true tax returns showed no income from that entity. In another application, Dispensa obtained a $146,650 PPP loan for the Gateway Hills Club entity. He claimed that annual payroll was more than $542,000 in 2020, but his real tax filings showed that payroll was only approximately $118,000 that year. Dispensa used the money for gambling on DraftKings, buying Tesla stock worth over $83,000, and purchasing 10,000 shares in a real estate investment trust. He falsely represented to the Small Business Administration that he used the funds for payroll and other approved expenses, officials said.

A woman has been called “ungrateful” for ditching her birthday party after her friend ignored her wishes and threw a “full-blown house party.” In a recent post shared to the popular “ Am I The A**hole?” Reddit forum, a woman shared how her roommate, who she referred to as Sara, recently planned the party in their shared condo. She said that when her friend initially offered to throw the event, it was just going to be “a small birthday party,” since the Reddit user wasn’t a fan of big parties. “I was on board with it because I don’t like huge gatherings and prefer intimate celebrations with close friends. I have slight social anxiety as well,” she explained. The woman shared that leading up to the event, Sara said that the plan was to only have a few mutual friends over, before having cake and maybe watching a movie. While this idea was “perfect” for the birthday girl, things took a turn the day off, when she discovered the party was not small at all. “Sara had invited a ton of people—at least 50. Some were mutual friends, but a lot were people I barely knew or hadn’t even met before,” she continued. “She had also set up a bunch of party decorations, hired a DJ, and there was even a huge table of food and drinks. It felt like a full-blown house party, not the chill gathering I was expecting.” Right when she got to the party, she “felt overwhelmed,” since there was more attention on her than she initially expected. So, she asked Sara why the party was so big. “I pulled Sara aside and asked her why she invited so many people when we had agreed on something small,” she added. “She shrugged it off and said, “Oh, come on, it’s your birthday! I wanted to make it special!” She emphasized that while she “appreciated the effort” her friend made, this wasn’t the kind of party she wanted, so she didn’t stay too long. “I felt completely uncomfortable and anxious. After trying to stick it out for a bit, I just couldn’t handle it and decided to leave. I ended up going to a nearby coffee shop to calm down and clear my head,” she explained. When Sara texted her asking where she was, she told her she “wasn’t comfortable with the party” and “needed some space.” However, both Sara and the Reddit user’s friends aren’t happy about the birthday girl leaving the event. “She was upset and said I was being ungrateful for everything she did for me. Now some of our friends are saying I overreacted and that Sara was just trying to be nice by throwing me a big party,” the woman concluded. The Reddit post has quickly gone viral, with more than 1,600 upvotes. In the comments, multiple people defended that woman’s decision to leave her own party, since it wasn’t the kind of event she wanted. Some also gave her advice on how to handle the situation with her roommate. “The party was more than expected and made you uncomfortable, you shouldn’t have to stay in a situation that makes you uncomfortable even if it is your birthday party,” one wrote. “I would suggest talking to Sara about how you get overwhelmed in big crowds, especially with people you don’t know too well but that you loved the effort of her wanting to make it a special birthday.” “It’s not ‘nice’ to throw someone who is very vocal about not liking large, loud parties... in your (shared) home. I wish some of your other friends would have left with you, knowing how much you don’t enjoy this kind of setting,” another wrote. “You set a boundary, Sara crossed that boundary, you removed yourself from the situation. Believe it or not, that is the adult thing to do. Sara did nothing for you to be grateful for. Sara threw herself a party and invited you,” a third responded.Hympulsion Orders 4 New HRS Stations As Part Of The Hydrogen Mobility Program ‘zero Emission Valley’ In The Auvergne-rhone-alpes Region (France)

"It is with a heavy heart that I inform you of the passing of Arthur Cashin, Jr., a true giant in our industry, highly regarded market pundit," Bill Carroll, head of sales and development at UBS Wealth Management USA, said in a memo to employees which was seen by Reuters on Monday. Cashin, dubbed 'Wall Street's version of Walter Cronkite' by The Washington Post, was a regular on CNBC, delivering stock market commentary and analysis to the business news channel's viewers for more than 25 years. He began his business career at Thomson McKinnon in 1959. In 1964, at age 23, he became a member of the NYSE and a partner of P.R. Herzig & Co. In 1980, Cashin joined investment bank PaineWebber and managed their floor operation. PaineWebber was acquired by UBS in 2000. At that time, the NYSE floor was the hub for the vast majority of all trading activity in the United States. Cashin was one of three senior executive floor governors and also served as a member of the Bond Club of New York. He was also part of the high-IQ society Mensa. In addition to his role at UBS, he is renowned for his daily newsletter, Cashin's Comments, which has been published for over 25 years and reaches more than 100,000 readers daily. He has also been a regular on CNBC's Art Cashin on the Markets, a segment airing several times a week, for more than two decades. "It's fair to say that over this time, Art Cashin became a household name for investors across the country, who benefited from his savvy insight on the markets, good humor and wit, while being one of UBS's strongest brand ambassadors," the memo said. Cashin was born in Jersey City, New Jersey, in 1941, according to CNBC, which first reported on his death. CNBC did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment. Cashin's family could not be reached for comment.
