Love Island is sure to guarantee two things; romance for some and fallouts for others. And it appears former Islanders Tanyel Revan and Zara Deniz Lackenby-Brown have found themselves embroiled in a bitter feud with Olivia Hawkins. Tanyel, 26, and Zara, 25, both fell out with ring girl Olivia, 27, after meeting her in the villa. Despite the pair seeming to patch things up with Olivia, the feud has well and truly reignited with Tanyel and Zara making a cryptic TikTok video appearing to take aim and Olivia and the actress quickly responding with one back last night. The video posted on Tanyel's TikTok sees herself and Zara stood close to one another with another blonde pal as they all mime along to a viral soundtrack, which says: "Bombastic side eye, criminal offensive side eye." Love Islander Tanyel posted the clip on her TikTok and captioned it with an eye roll emoji. And Olivia was quick to respond as she shared a clip of herself dressed in the glittering gold … [Read more...] about Love Island’s Tanyel and Zara take aim at Olivia as bitter feud heats up after reunion

For free real time breaking news alerts sent straight to your inbox sign up to our breaking news emails Sign up to our free breaking news emails Elon Musk allegedly threatened to fire Twitter ’s engineers after his tweets during the Super Bowl attracted less engagement than president Joe Biden ’s.

‘Priceless’ Treasure Buried in 1934 Found During Home Renovation
A man in New Jersey has spoken about his joy at discovering buried treasure on his property as he renovated his home, according to reports. Richard Gilson found buried treasure from the 1930s after he began digging a hole as part of his renovations on Friday at his home in Wildwood, according to a 3CBS Philly report. Speaking to 3CBS Philly, Gilson said he had been renovating his home for the last two years when he stumbled across the buried treasure in the form of rolled up $10 and $20 bills all with the same date on them, 1934. "Somebody went under there with a little shovel and buried that thing under there," Gilson said. "They were hiding that money from somebody for something. You'd be surprised. You think your digging someplace nobody's been and you find something that was there a long time ago." Gilson said he initially thought he was digging up roots before he realized what he had stumbled upon. The bills add up to $1,000, which Gilson estimates in 1934 was worth … [Read more...] about ‘Priceless’ Treasure Buried in 1934 Found During Home Renovation
Another Solar Company Goes Bankrupt
The major California-based solar company Sungevity declared Chapter 11 bankruptcy Monday. Sungevity is laying off workers, auctioning off some assets, and agreeing to hand over control investors in exchange for $20 million in financing to keep the company’s operations going. Sungevity was one of seven residential solar power companies, which Congress announced in September it would formally investigate for wrongfully receiving billions in tax credits from the government. The federal government likely handed out roughly $25 billion in cash grants and tax credits to these companies. “The actions we have announced today will allow Sungevity to emerge as a stronger and more competitive company,” William Nettles, the company’s newly appointed Chief Administration Officer, said in a press statement . “With its market-leading software platform and its high quality employees who provide unwavering commitment to customers and exceptional service, Sungevity intends to be at the … [Read more...] about Another Solar Company Goes Bankrupt
Solar Company Goes Bust After Getting Millions In Taxpayer Cash
Another solar company went out of business after receiving millions of dollars in taxpayer cash, according to a Monday GreenTech Media article. Beamreach, called Solexel until 2016, received $3 million in Department of Energy (DOE) funding in 2008 . The company spent more than $250 million, mostly raised from private investors in Saudi Arabia, before going under. Beamreach tried to produce highly efficient solar cells that only cost $0.42 per watt by 2014, but failed, according to GreenTech Media . The failure prompted Solexel to change its name to Beamreach last year, and try to enter the lucrative rooftop solar market. Beamreach was unable to handle its substantial load of debt in the rooftop solar market and couldn’t attract new investors. This caused the company to enter what appears to be a liquidation bankruptcy. Roughly five major solar companies closed up shop in 2015, which follows the historic tendency that solar power companies tend to go bankrupt as soon … [Read more...] about Solar Company Goes Bust After Getting Millions In Taxpayer Cash
A Colonoscopy Alternative Comes Home
Most Americans who are due for a colon cancer screening will receive a postcard or a call — or prompting during a doctor’s visit — to remind them that it’s time to schedule a colonoscopy. But at big health care systems like Kaiser Permanente or the federal Veterans Health Administration, the process has changed. Patients who should be screened regularly (age 50 to 75) and who are of average risk, get a letter telling them about a home test kit arriving by mail. It’s a FIT, which stands for fecal immunochemical test. The small cardboard mailer contains equipment and instructions for taking a stool sample and returning the test to a lab, to detect microscopic amounts of blood. A week or so later, the results show up on an online patient portal. Five to 6 percent of patients will have a positive test and need to schedule a follow-up colonoscopy. But the great majority are finished with colon cancer screening for the year — no uncomfortable prep, no need to skip work or find … [Read more...] about A Colonoscopy Alternative Comes Home

George W. Bush said tonight that he was arrested for driving while intoxicated 24 years ago while visiting his family's vacation home in Kennebunkport, Me. After a boisterous rally here, Mr. Bush hastily arranged his first news conference in about a month to confirm reports by WCSH-TV and WPXT-TV in Portland, Me., about his arrest. ''I'm not proud of that,'' Mr. Bush said, clutching the hand of his wife, Laura, as he faced reporters in a driveway. ''I've oftentimes said that years ago I made some mistakes. I drank too much, and I did on that night.'' He said that he had been driving, that he had admitted to a police officer who pulled him over that he had been drinking and that he had paid a fine. ''I regret that it happened,'' he said. ''But it did. I've … [Read more...] about THE 2000 CAMPAIGN: A DRIVING OFFENSE; Bush Acknowledges an Arrest for Drunken Driving in 1976
Can Cannabis Class Help the Industry Legalize? Growers Are Doubtful.
ROCHESTER, N.Y. — Standing in a warehouse outside downtown Rochester, Jeffrey Medford watered his cannabis crop under industrial lights. He’s among the many growers who’ve transformed the city’s network of defunct factories into sophisticated indoor farms. Mr. Medford, 58, who has grown cannabis for nearly a decade after a career as a carpenter, would typically be hypervigilant for any slip up that would alert the police to his presence. An outsized electricity bill, for example, could give him away. But since January, Mr. Medford has spoken openly about his operation to a packed online classroom as part of a business mentorship program. In January, New York State regulators launched the Cannabis Compliance Training & Mentorship Program. The goal is to give legacy operators — loosely defined as players in the illicit market before legalization took place in 2021 — the information and skills necessary to stay current with emerging rules. For the first time, growers in the legal … [Read more...] about Can Cannabis Class Help the Industry Legalize? Growers Are Doubtful.
Friend of President Admits to Violating Fund-Raising Laws
See the article in its original context from May 22, 1999 Section Page Buy Reprints View on timesmachine TimesMachine is an exclusive benefit for home delivery and digital subscribers. A Democratic fund-raiser and longtime Arkansas friend of President Clinton pleaded guilty today in a Federal court in Little Rock, Ark., to two charges related to his political fund-raising, and agreed to cooperate with the Justice Department's long-running campaign finance inquiry. The fund-raiser, Yah Lin Trie, was one of the first major Democratic figures from Mr. Clinton's 1996 re-election campaign to be charged in an indictment in January 1998. Mr. Trie was important because he was one of small group of Clinton associates who used contacts in Asia to help seek money for the Democrats, ultimately raising more than $1 million for the Democratic National Committee and Mr. Clinton's legal defense fund. In the plea agreement, the Government said it would dismiss all charges … [Read more...] about Friend of President Admits to Violating Fund-Raising Laws
