ABC’s ‘Golden Bachelor’ gives senior dating a rare moment in the spotlight

Image
[ad_1] Comment on this story Comment The new Bachelor is everything we usually see in the lead of America’s most popular dating show. He’s tall, active, outgoing — and most importantly, single. ABC is diverging from its usual cast of 20- and 30-somethings in “The Bachelor” with its new unscripted spinoff series, “ The Golden Bachelor .” Gerry Turner, a retired restaurateur from Indiana who was widowed in 2017, according to ABC, is “ready to put himself out there and find a love that will stand the test of time in his golden years.” Vying for his final rose? Women over the age of 65. This will go a long way toward showing what it’s like to date later in life, as seniors’ love stories are rarely in the pop culture spotlight, fans and experts say. “Shows like this are so important for breaking the social barriers around senior dating,” said Kate Taylor, a dating coach for “ Ourtime ,” a dating app for those over 50. “There is without a doubt a lack of representation … when it comes

Idaho Satanists plan 'gender affirmation ritual' to protest ban on surgeries for children: 'I praise myself'

Image
[ad_1] Members of The Satanic Temple plan to oppose a proposed Idaho bill that would prohibit sex-change surgery and drugs for minors by holding a "gender affirmation ritual" on the grounds of the state Capitol. A bill titled the " Vulnerable Child Protection Act " was introduced by Republican state Rep. Bruce Skaug last week and would render offering puberty blockers or transgender surgery for minors a felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison. The bill aims to protect "children from harmful pharmaceutical and surgical interventions for the purpose of changing the appearance of a child's sex," but would not apply to those who require treatment because of medically necessary treatments, according to a fact sheet released by the Idaho Family Policy Center.

Sacklers Can Be Shielded From Opioid Liability, Appeals Court Rules

Image
[ad_1] Tuesday’s ruling came more than a year after oral arguments before the Second Circuit panel. As months passed, thousands of litigants expressed growing frustration that the case remained unresolved, with promised payments held in abeyance even as the opioid epidemic itself, now marked by fentanyl use, continued to surge. The ruling was a win for Purdue, which appealed a decision by a federal district judge who had overturned a settlement that had originally been approved by a bankruptcy court judge in 2021 . But most of the parties that had appealed the 2021 plan eventually wound up dropping their objections, after the Sacklers increased their payout offer by roughly $1.73 billion. The only objectors who remain include several Canadian municipalities, a few individuals and the U.S. Trustee, a Justice Department program that is the watchdog of the bankruptcy system. Ms. Jacoby, the North Carolina law professor, said that because the last objecting states had agreed to the P

Prince Harry’s given world ‘Post Traumatic Spare Disorder’

Image
[ad_1] Prince Harry has just come under fire for giving the world “Post Traumatic Spare Disorder” with his memoir. Royal author and biographer Sarah Vine brought this claim to light, against the Duke of Sussex. Her claims have come in a piece for the Daily Mail and reads, “Perhaps it's just me, but after almost a week of wall-to-wall Harryonics, I woke up yesterday morning with what can only be described as PTSD (Post Traumatic Spare Disorder).” “The symptoms are unmistakable. I flinch every time I walk past a pub garden, haunted by visions of the young stallion vigorously servicing a sturdy bottom-slapping lady equestrian. Each time anyone mentions bridesmaids or dresses I get a ringing in the ears.” “That said, I have yet to mistake my kitchen bin for a human head (as Harry did after consuming the fungi-infused confectionery); but I have come to view my Ikea lamps in a less flattering light. Well, the Sussexes were ashamed of theirs.” [ad_2] Source l

Germany to bring in new faces for Euro 2024: Flick | The Express Tribune

[ad_1] BERLIN: A number of newcomers will feature in the Germany squad for the international matches against Peru and Belgium in March, coach Hansi Flick said on Tuesday as the team rebuild with an eye on the Euro 2024 tournament on home soil. The Germans, who suffered their second consecutive group-stage World Cup exit in Qatar in December, will be hoping to lay the foundations this year for a successful tournament in Germany in 2024. "We will make sure to have some new players with us," Flick said. "It will be interesting to see some of the youngsters." "We want to use the team from now until the Euros to test young players," he said. Germany host Peru on March 25 and then Belgium three days later. Several young players have already earned their Germany caps and are almost certain of a spot in the 2024 squad, including Jamal Musiala, Florian Wirtz, Karim Adeyemi and Youssoufa Moukoko among others.

King Charles III's net worth — and where his wealth comes from

Image
[ad_1] When  King Charles III  and his wife, the Queen Consort Camilla, are crowned on May 6, the coronation ceremony will glitter with the Crown Jewels and other historic symbols of the monarchy's vast wealth. King Charles' net worth has soared to about $2.3 billion, according to The Guardian, which said it worked with 12 experts to undertake the first "comprehensive audit" of the king's assets, which range from country estates to race cars and jewels.  Yet among his most valuable assets is something intangible: an exemption for Charles from the U.K.'s inheritance tax, which otherwise would have taken a 40% bite out of his inherited assets. Queen Elizabeth II was worth $500 million when she passed away last year, largely from her ownership of Balmoral Castle in Scotland and Sandringham House in England, as well as art, jewels, investments and real estate, Forbes  estimated last year. Not everyone pegs Charles

Mortgage demand rises despite volatile interest rates

Image
[ad_1] Demand for mortgages increased for the second straight week , despite some volatility in mortgage rates. Total application volume rose 6.5% last week compared with the previous week, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association's seasonally adjusted index. The average contract interest rate for 30-year fixed-rate mortgages with conforming loan balances ($726,200 or less) decreased to 6.71% from 6.79%, with points falling to 0.79 from 0.80 (including the origination fee) for loans with a 20% down payment. That was the average, but mortgage rates were largely higher for most of the week before dropping sharply Friday on news of the Silicon Valley Bank failure. Despite rates being higher, mortgage applications to purchase a home rose 7% for the week but were still 38% lower than the same week a year ago. Homebuying basically stalled in early February, after rates rose about a full percentage point, but buyers seem to be coming back now, perhaps because they are concerned
