Olivia, who married San Francisco 49ers running backChristian McCaffreyin 2024, commented on her big sister's engagement news. Aurora and Olivia's younger sister, 28-year-old Sophia Culpo, commented, "🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹." The 33-year-oldNext Gen Chefhost also reposted one of the couple's images to her Instagram Story, adding, "Our family is growing!" Other pictures shared by Aurora and Zac featured the newly engaged couple kissing as they posed with a pair of champagne flutes filled with the bubbly beverage — while also showing off Aurora's dazzling diamond during a sunset boat ride. During their romantic outing, the two made sure to stop at Paris's most iconic landmark, the Eiffel Tower. The Eiffel Tower sparkled in their background as day turned into night. Just two days before Zac popped the question to his bride-to-be, he and Aurora celebrated another couple's love by attending a wedding together in Italy. "Here for the amore," she captioned anInstagram carousel, adding a red heart and Italian flag emoji. "Celebrating love in Tuscany," she wrote ona second postof the pair overseas. Last October, PEOPLE spoke exclusively to the podcaster about her life as a single woman, where she remained hopeful for love in her future. "I'm excited to meet someone eventually. Right now, I'm kind of dating myself and seeing what's going to happen,"Aurora told PEOPLE. "I feel like I've gone through a lot in the dating world. I've seen my sisters go through things," she added. I've gone through breakups, divorces, public stuff, not public stuff. There's really nowhere to go but up."

Aurora also spoke highly of therapy, saying it offers "a wide perspective." "There's so many people in the world, and there's so many options, you don't need to choose another version of the same relationship every time," she said. Towards the end of the interview, she discussed the importance of having a positive outlook on finding love. "I think if you think that love doesn't exist, and you're never going to meet somebody, and you're too old, or you're this or that, then that's exactly what's going to happen for you," Aurora said. "And then, you see the ladies at the nursing homes with three boyfriends that are living their best life." Read the original article onPeople

87 Times People Accidentally Discovered Loopholes And Used ThemNew Foto - 87 Times People Accidentally Discovered Loopholes And Used Them

Life isn't always black and white. There existgray areasthat are often ambiguous and can be exploited, for better or worse. However, if you can circumvent the rules to your benefit without harming anyone, you win. Takethese people, for example. They are proudly patting themselves on the back after stumbling uponflaws in the systemand taking advantage of them. Some received a free plate of fries for their efforts, while others were more fortunate and saved a significant amount of money in the process. If you havesimilar experiences, feel free to share them in the comments below. It turns out that you don't have to take an AP course in order to take the AP test. And if you pass the test, it's worth college credit.So I signed up for the AP Psychology one, read the book and took the test earlier today. I think I just bypassed an entire year of class.I'm pretty happy right now. Image credits:Ephemeral_Being If you buy a day's worth of travel insurance through Compare the Market for ~£2, you get the year's 2for1 movies and meals which has saved me wayyy more than the £2! Image credits:IndividualisticPie When you use your gmail address to sign up an account, you can place a full stop anywhere in the part before the "@" and gmail will ignore it, so you can set up multiple accounts for things without having to create a new email, whilst still receiving any emails to the same address (useful if you need to validate the sign up). This works really well for stuff like fast food apps where you get a sign up bonus or a freebie.So, as an example, if my gmail address is janebloggs@googlemail.com I could get away with making new accounts under "Jane.bloggs", "J.anebloggs" or "Janeb.loggs".Etc etc. Gmail will ignore those full stops!I've used this method to set up multiple Costa accounts as you get a little something for setting up, and also I copy and paste the friend codes on to new accounts for another reward haha.EDIT: a couple of redditers have blown my mind and also said you can use a "+" in a similar way - it will also get ignored, so you could haveJanebloggs+costa@googlemail.comJanebloggs+kfc@googlemail.comGreat for keeping track of what you're using for each app! Image credits:machinehead332 I used to buy rolls of Subway Stamps on eBay for like $100. I think you could get 125 footlongs with a roll. Really wish they didn't get rid of that program! Image credits:lemayo I wanted out of my mobile phone contract without paying so after researching areas where my mobile phone provider didn't have coverage, I called them and let them know that I was moving to that exact area. I refused to pay for a service they couldn't provide me with and BAM, I was out. Image credits:premiumtrim One time in like, fifth grade, my English teacher gave us an online test that we were supposed to do by ourselves for homework. At the end of the test, you're supposed to enter your teacher's email so that they get the results. Long story short, I rushed through the test and put in my own email. I then got an email that told me all the correct answers. Then I used that email to retake the test and get 100%. Image credits:Xurban I got this nonsense job, something to do with running a country, anyhow the job comes with lots of perks, I get loads of free stuff like holidays, my house decorated, takeaways etc. All I have to do is tell my underlings to give contracts to my pals without any normal competitive checks and balances. Image credits:madboater1 The original sin; using winRAR for free. Image credits:anon My prepay electric meter freaked out after the pavement outside my house was dug up for some reason (nothing to do with me...was by open reach). Anyway, screen went blank and wouldn't load my credit. I called the provider and told them. They said we will send someone out to replace it. I said well it won't accept my credit, are you going to bill me? The guy said "we have no way of knowing what we are using so we can't bill you! We will get it fixed asap". Well a guy came out to replace it but they gave him the wrong meter so he couldn't replace it. He said he will have to get a new one and they would call and book a new appointment. I said "no rush as long as I still get free electricity!" And I haven't heard from them in nearly a year.That's how I'm getting free electricity. Not my fault, I did what I had to and notified the company. Company is actually about to go bust too. Image credits:RudeRub2176 For years 10 McNuggests cost $3 and change but the 4 piece was a buck. Image credits:Gameroomvids In the Marines, I went in when I was 25, so I already had college and was familiar with computers and the unit I was in was just getting their first personal computers. I got into the duty schedule for firewatch, and took myself and all my friends off for a whole year. If I didn't like someone, they got Friday and Saturday night duties. Nobody ever figured it out, and I changed it often.Later in my career, I used my skills for good. I wrote a series of macros that compiled several databases into one spreadsheet that my Staff Sergeant stole my work for and received his third NAM. They tried to give me office hours when I walked out of formation during his awards presentation. I did all that work during my lunch and my off hours. A program that is still in use today was based off of my spreadsheet. Image credits:whittler I got fries at our local ski hill for nearly a quarter of the price by ordering a "paper plate with a side of fries" instead of just a regular plate of fries. Image credits:TW80000 I bought a tv, with staff discount, for £325,but it had a built in Dvd player that didn't work. I only needed it for 11 months, so after the 11 months I took it back, and was given the full price back, around £360. Basically got given £35 to enjoy a 37" flat screen for a year! Image credits:Onlysilverworks I wanted to get a Mass state driver's license while still in college. Normally, you can't use a college address to establish residency since you're still considered a resident of your home state. Despite not being residents, Massachusetts will call out-of-state students for jury duty. In addition to the normal documents like a utility bill, the RMV accepts a jury duty summons as proof of residency. If you're unlucky enough to get called for jury duty in college, it worked like a charm! Image credits:dbath My grade three teacher told me to fill up a page of text from "here" to "here" and she drew two dots on each corner of the page, so i wrote it diagonally across the page in big letters. she was having a hard time keeping a straight face when telling me off. Image credits:Quilton The vending machine at my work has these unreal bakewell flapjacks, priced at £1.20. However if you use the option to pay by card for some reason some of the prices change, and the flapjacks change to 70p.I've not told anyone else and it's a secret I will keep to my grave.Just to edit this, I'm don't think they're the ones in HomeBargains/B&M, they're in a clear and pink packet with pink on the front, I *think* they might be Marywell brand or something similar.Edit 2: Did some Googling and they're 100% 'Marybake' brand flapjacks. But no results on where to buy the Bakewell ones in bulk! Image credits:WinstonwanlegIngram I was heading to a Forrest for bike rides and parking was £9 all day. For some reason I thought it was a good idea to click the "I have a voucher" option, put in a random 7 digit code and it worked, had free parking about 10 times before they clicked on. Image credits:BuildingInfinite This is really stupid but...I ordered Captain underpants dvd from Amazon for £2.95. then I went to tesco and bought that same dvd and another, 2 for £8 (they were £5 each). I tried to cancel Amazon dvd, but it came anyway. It was unopened so I returned it to tesco with my receipt. They gave me £5 back. Profit I guess?? Image credits:WesleyRiot I ordered a vegetarian pizza from big John's, for some reason it had tuna as an option. They never actually had any in so they would call and ask what I wanted instead so I would ask for chicken, pepperoni etcGot a meat topping for £5 less than I should every time. Image credits:JudasBC Iceland has a savings card: for every £20 you put on the card they give you a £1 extra (which for all intents and purposes is better interest than a bank).So a few days before a shop buy a pack of sweets or something and slap £60-100 on the card (whatever your weekly shop amount is) then when you do your shop, you get some free money. Image credits:greywind721 Went to cancel now TV and they offered me another month for £1. Went to cancel again and they offered me two months for £2.99. it's not much but it's something? Image credits:WesleyRiot Not a loophole as such, but a broken meter.I was a student down in Newquay in 2003.I lived in a flat that had a electric meter that took pound coins. It was an old meter with a little clock looking thing on it, you put the pound, turned a dial, and the hand on the clock moved a bit, put in another pound, turn the dial, hand moved a bit and so on. You could do this until the little hand went all the way round to full. A full meter lasted about a week, and cost about 20quid to fill. One day my flatmate discovered that if we put a pound in and just carried on turning the dial, it would fill up all the way.My mates kept complaining how cold their student houses and flats were, when me and my flatmate had a three bar fire on and were spending about 5 quid a week on leccy. We told the landlord, but he never came to fix it. Image credits:brithefry I had a kobo e-reader bought from WHSmith. It packed up after a little over 12 months. I took it back and after a little to and for (sale of goods act, etc.) the manager agreed to swap it for a new one. Thing is they had reduced by £20, and the only thing the system would let the assistant do was refund and re-sell."Is cash OK?" he said. I agreed that it was, and he handed me a bag with a brand new kobo, and £20 cash.I thanked him, and walked smartly out. Image credits:sihasihasi Nothing new or ground breaking but Spotify is £10 a month, family is £17, (was £15 😐). But you can have up to 6 people on the family.So we have 6 people on it sharing it, (£2.80 a month). And they pay me their years share every january. Image credits:MystiikMoments For me it was abusing the coke machines that had the weird elevator/treadmill inside of it, if you bought a coke and forced the door closed you could get the machine to refund your money then walk away with whatever you dispensed for free. Over the course of two semesters I probably did this about 4-5 times a day for 8 months. Image credits:Hiddenshadows57 Unfortunately, I never got to take advantage of this, but I used to work as a supermarket cashier, and noticed that the way certain offers worked on the computer could mean people got free stuff in certain situations.Once, there was a deal on melons, buy one get one free. They were £2 each, so they till would register 2x £2 melons, then take off £2 for the deal. One evening, there was a massive surplus of melons, so they were reduced to 50p to get rid of them. This meant, if you bought 2, it would cost you 2 x 50p - £2 = -£1 One guy had realised this, and came up to the till with 2 trolleys full of shopping. One was his normal weekly shop, and the other, just a shitload of melons. Ended up getting £300 worth of stuff plus an excessive amount of melons for about £1. I called the supervisor to point out that this was obviously a mistake, but he was too stupid to work it out, and told me that the computer was displaying the correct amount, and let the guy basically walk out with free stuff. At a local golfing range I found a way to get unlimited balls. You buy fifty balls, then, you type the code into the ball dispenser computer multiple times, and the amount of balls available would increase exponentially. I got it up to ten k, and used that same one ticket for the whole summer season. Image credits:anon So before all the kids were playing Call of Duty, there was Quake, Doom, etc. Id software made a lot of good games.For some reason, they put all of their games on a single CD, including a demo of Quake 2 (I think). Then they gave the CD away for free as a demo for Quake 2 -- and hey, you could unlock all of our other games! You'd just call in, pay money, get a cd key, and unlock your game. But there was no limit on the usages of the CD Keys. So several got loose, and you basically had every Id game for free. When I was 11 I played Neopets and there was a wheel of fortune type game you could play for a random prize every half hour.Turns out by refreshing multiple times and not allowing the request to complete you'd receive multiple prizes before the half hour timer would kick in.I made millions and everyone was in awe of both my bank account and my lavish spending. Our ski hill offers season passes for around 350 bucks but only 150 if it was your first year buying one, the best part was they never asked for an ID they just looked up your name to see if it was used before. I have had 8 different names now. Image credits:Ewest39 My uni never cancelled my old university email account. I've been using unidays and discounts you can get tied to a university email only for years.Saved me a good amount. YouTube premium. The Indian version apparently costs £2 but I couldn't get that to work, so mine is UAE version for £5. Yes it's worth it to have no adverts on my TV. If you need a pair of wired headphones, look for a pair on Amazon with a year or two guarantee. They never ever last that long and always break. Simply ask for a replacement (sometimes you have to send the headphones back to be 'checked') and they'll send a replacement or a similar pair if they're out of stock. I own 4 or 5 sets of headphones per year but only ever pay for the first. Ipsos Mori give me £10 a month in vouchers to fill out my weekly radio listening diary. I don't listen to radio. I get paid £10 for 2 minutes of clicking "didn't listen to the radio this week". In my last job, my fork truck key worked in the coffee machine. Saved 20p a cup! Buying a toaster/kettle set from Costco. They offer an effective lifetime warranty on them - for any reason. When the kettle dies you take both back because they 'were a set'.You get an expensive kettle/toaster set that never costs you anything after you initial outlay. Not free but I discovered TooGood2Go long before it became trendy and the only local restaurant that was on it was Yo Sushi. I regularly got £100+ of sushi at the end of the night which I distributed to friends and family (and ate myself). This lasted for around a year and I think I was the only person using the app.Now loads of people know about it and there are far more restaurants on board. Still value as the likes of Greggs, you will get around a tenner's worth of goods for £2.59 (sandwiches, sausage rolls ect.) but the days where getting £100+ are over.For those that don't know 2G2G is an app where restaurants sell the stuff they normally throw out at the end of the night. Netflix. Cancelled and restarted it again via a Turkish VPN. Costs me like £4.50 per month for the premium tier.Did also use that loophole of loading Xbox Live Gold memberships onto my account then converting the lot to Game Pass for £2 but they've plugged that one now and I'm paying full price monthly. I work at a university and can use my staff .ac.uk email address to sign up for student deals. I've not been a student for 7years. If you don't have Prime, Amazon sometimes charges you shipping if your order is under a certain amount.Just pre-order something that isn't due for several months, then cancel the order once your stuff is dispatched. Not a loop hole as such, the guy who lived in my house before me has a nat geo subscription, it's been months and he still hasn't changed it to his new address. We've told him multiple times, just got the new one a couple days ago. I've not opened any of them but pretty tempted! With audible you don't even need to change emails, I've got about 20 free books now out of them just for signing up for a trial, cancelling, then re trialling again the next year. Many moons ago, we had some vending machines installed (we didn't want them) in our 6th form area. The prices were astronomical considering there was a convenience store nearby. We did however find a loophole whereby for the cost of a single it.you could indeed have anything / everything in the vending machine for nout."50p for a chomp?! You're mad!"No my friend, 0p for the entire vending machine!Basically put money in and select your item e.g. H5, then just as the item is about to drop off, turn the vendor off at the plug. Item drops out. Switch vendor back on, presto, still have your full credit. Rinse and repeat. Then when finished, press reject coins.The machine only got emptied once, not by an individual but by everyone once the hack had been discovered.Fair to say said vending machine company weren't happy, and took it away, meaning we actually got 2x extra computers installed which is what we wanted anyways. I once got 6 months free Spotify bc I didn't update my payment method. It just kept a red banner at the top but let me enjoy premium for ages. There's this one cocktail bar in Cardiff, that for some reason in the happy hour due to a glitch in the app made instead of 2 for 1 cocktails, for Long Island Iced Teas 2 for 0. I've never been so I'll the next morning. When I book a train via Trainline for an all day ticket, I choose the latest departure time on the app. It's an al day ticket, so it still valid for any travel.Then, if the ticket didn't get checked (they scan a QR code), I requested a refund and instead of paying the train fare, I've just paid the admin fee.Best was when I did this for a £95 ticket for a work trip. I downloaded the receipt before requesting the refund and my work paid me £95 to pay Trainline £5. Tiles. Every couple of months I would order large floor or wall tiles via the free sample or £1 sample offer. I use them to cover my coffee table (needed 2 large floor tiles) and table surfaces. Husband hates coasters and just puts his tea cup anywhere. I have also added rubber feet and made trivets (hexagonal tile) for gifts for people. When we were poor students we set up this over a weekend.You know how betting companies offer incentives to sign up, normally it's pay £10 and they give you £30 worth of free bets. Well there were like over 15 companies offering this so we hatched a plan. We would take that £30 and bet on football games - £10 on each team to win and £10 on draw. This way you couldn't loose and made on average £10 per game (sometimes more). Some of the companies also give You free horse racing and casino money.By the end of the weekend we'd had a great time and made £250 each. G suite (Google's business offering for gmail etc.) Used to exist as a free service (Google Apps), which I signed up for in 2010 and never let the account go inactive. So now I have access to most of Google's business tools for absolutely £0 a month. I am on a dual rate electricity meter (only electricity in the flat, no gas) and on an Economy 10 plan. The meter records my energy usage the wrong way round, so my company think I'm nocturnal which makes my bills cheaper. My average energy cost over the summer was around £7.Yes, I have reported it to them, twice in fact, and they've done bugger all about it. I'm not doing it a third time, they've got it on record and aren't interested at all. On grocery cash back apps such as Shopmium, you can claim cash back on eligible items via a picture of your receipt.Once the cash back money has been received in your bank, you can return the items to the store if you haven't opened it. The Tesco £3 meal deal hack.Once you have all three items the till recognises the presence of a meal deal and will apply the requisite discount to every item that should be part of the meal deal.So I get a drink, crisps, sandwich and cocktail sausages for £3.75 even though cocktail sausages are £1.25.It's definitely theft but I don't care. When I was a student about 10 years ago, I signed up for Amazon's Student Prime which has nearly identical benefits to regular Prime but is half the price. They caught on a couple of years ago that I couldn't still be a student and put me onto the regular Prime, but it was good whilst it lasted. Not a loophole but the Libby app has free audiobooks and ebooks if you have a library card. Flavia drink vending machines at work have been left on their default operator passwords. With a quick Google, one could set them to 'free vend' in a few button presses and obtain free drinks before re- setting them to charge for the drinks once again. If one wanted to, of course. When West Ham play in the evening, they leave the barriers up at Stratford station. I just go through without tapping and hope the barriers the other end are open. If they aren't I'll tap out then go on the TFL website to say I got on at the previous stop. Makes a £12ish trip either free or £2 (depending on if I have to tap out or not).Also, if a ticket inspector comes, you can just tap your card and it works just like you tapped in at the nearest station; it doesn't say you haven't tapped or anything like that. Go to Starbucks and ask for a filter coffee, they never have it on and offer you an Americano for the same price. Long time ago now, but I once got a trip to Dublin that was £23, including the ferry, by booking by train. Flights were £99. I thought it was mental at the time. We got our house kitted out from IKEA.The delivery man told me that the mattresses have a 10 year guarantee but they tend to wear out after about 4 or 5, so he said around that time I should pick at the stitching around the bottom of the mattress (don't cut because that's obvious if someone does bother to check) and then tell IKEA. They'll deliver a brand new one within 2 days, with a further 10 year guarantee. I like the audible one. Most of my 40+ title library was acquired that way. Won a years free membership in one of the popular chain 24hr gyms in a fb competition when a new one opened near me. 3+ years later the code they gave me still works … :). The first month of Pret membership is free, and it gives you 5 free barista-made drinks a day. Share your membership with a group of friends, and stack your free trials one after the other to extend your free trial by a couple of months, depending on how many friends are in your group.(P.S. one membership for one phone number, so if you have multiple phone numbers it's even better). I once went out on the beer in Dublin, I took 180€ from the ATM. It never came out of my account. A few months later I went back to Dublin again on a stag night. Same thing happened again, this time with 400€. Not been back since. Order a ham and pineapple pizza at pizza hut minus the ham and minus the pineapple and plus pepperoni and you've saved yourself a pretty penny! Everytime I try play a song on my Alexa she tells me "to play specific songs I need an Amazon music subscription" then offers a free trial, end of the month rolls around, I had cancelled the sub days prior and she offers me another free trial, been like a year of free Amazon music now. Endless £1.99 Big Macs. Just do the survey thing on your receipt, it takes 30 seconds and then use the code to get £1.99 Big Mac and chips. Used to work for the NHS and just before I left, I renewed my Blue Light discount card. Got myself another two years worth of savings as a result. A friend of mine once signed up to some online distance learning course. The course was legit, and all the resources were provided, but the administrators never set any deadlines nor did they expect any evidence of completed work. However, the provider was affiliated with the NUS, so he was able to get student discount for the duration of the course, which could be as long as he wanted it to be. I use a website that is full of discount codes for teachers (Basically all the same student discount ones) but you don't actually have to prove you're a teacher. Worked on the student magazine in the 90s. Magazine was sponsored by the local Spoons, with a voucher for a free meal and a pint. Had access to the stock of magazines. Didn't buy any food that term. I don't know how it works but my friend did something to my phone and now I have Spotify premium for free. Took him less than 5 mins. Not a loophole I took advantage of but I used to work for Lidl about 8 years ago and quite often had people coming in to return power tools or anything expensive from their middle aisle items.The power tools always had a 2 year guarantee, these people were returning them just before that ran out and getting a full refund - no questions asked.I was on the til and when presented with a "faulty" drill I was in no position to test it to check if it was actually faulty so a full refund was always given.You could see this being a decent loophole back then, not sure if they caught on yet or not.. I once ordered some craft stuff from Amazon to the total of around £100, but a little bit of the glue had leaked out, I complained and asked for a partial refund as it had got on one of the other items slightly, they refunded me the entire £100… even though everything else was fine haha. My electicity meter was broken for nearly a year.I informed my supplier about it but they didn't seem too interested. So I kept jest sending in the meter readings (the same number every month), as asked... and getting tiny electricity bills.Even after I moved house I queried the final bill reminding them that the meter was still broken. I gave them every chance but they assured me the bill was correct.They're one of the small ones that went out of business recently. (Not my fault, honestly!). Disclaimer: I drink a **lot** of coffee.Went into John Lewis and bought their cheapest Coffee Maker (£11.99). Came with a years Warranty, as per.About 10 months later, it died (hot plate failed) so I return it, and they exchange it rather than give the money back.This one lasts 8 months before it just stops heating water entirely, go back, exchange it again.Third one made it to 11 months. Fourth one only managed 6. Fifth one finally gets over the one year mark.The really funny thing is that the cheeky buggers tried to sell me a 3 year warranty upgrade each time... at 3 times the price of the coffee maker. I wrote a script and shared it on a White Sox fan site to repeatedly vote for Frank Thomas in the 2003 MLB All Star Game Final Vote. MLB had to change the logic mid-way through the vote (the captcha was in the source code on the page). In my first project for my Principles of Engineering 3 class in high school, we had to create from a pool of common household items (paper, paper clips, rubber bands, balloons, straws, etc.) a semi-self-propelled toy boat kit and instructions for assembly, the premise being that it would be something to sell in a small vending machine or whatever. The scoring was based on the effectiveness of the boat times the ease of construction and coolness (as judged by the freshman engineering class) divided by the time it took to go 1 meter over water and the price (each item had some cost).Most of the people built elaborate floating straw monstrosities with rubber-band powered propellers. I examined the scoring and decided that if I could reduce the cost enough, the other stuff wouldn't matter that much, so I convinced my group to submit a design that consisted of:1 balloon1 paper clip1 straw1 piece of tape (to keep it somewhat together)The straw dragged in the water to keep it going relatively forward and to keep it from flying away. The freshmen gave us 5/5 for ease of construction, but we lost 50% of the score because our teacher said it didn't work; instead of going straight across the tub to the finish line, it veered off to the right, got caught on the wall, launched into the air, did a flip, landed in the water, and crossed the finish line.We ended up taking 1st place on the project by a huge margin.

On challenge was to build a bridge between two tables using nothing but tape and construction paper (unlimited). Each text book it could support = $20 gift certificate. I could tell they were thinking that I would make elongated "beams" out of the paper/tape. I asked if the bridge could dip below the surface of the table tops, and the shrugged and said yes. I took lots of strips of tape and spanned the gap, throwing some paper in so I didn't waste so much time. The bridge supported every text book they had, and some of mine.

Debbe Dunning asked Tim Allen to bring her onto "Shifting Gears "for "Home Improvement" reunion: 'I think it's my turn'

ABC Photo Archives/Disney General Entertainment Content via Getty Debbe Dunning says that she asked herHome Improvementcostar Tim Allen to find a part for her on his new showShifting Gears. The actress reunited with Allen and their former costars Richard Karn and Patricia Richardson on the show's season 2 premiere. Dunning also recalls working withHome Improvement's child stars, Jonathan Taylor Thomas and Zachery Ty Bryan. Debbe Dunning is reuniting with herHome Improvementcostars. On Wednesday, the actress — who played Heidi theTool Timegirl on the hit sitcom — guest-starred on the season 2 premiere ofShifting Gears, the ABC comedy starring her former costarTim Allen. Twenty-six years afterHome Improvementwrapped, the actress joined her former cast mates Richard Karn and Patricia Richardson in a scene in which Allen's grumpy protagonist Matt Parker begrudgingly attends a grief support group frequented by Charlotte (Nancy Travis). Dunning revealed how the reunion materialized and reflected on herHome Improvementfamily during a conversation withEntertainment Weekly. ABC Photo Archives/Disney General Entertainment Content via Getty ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: How did your appearance onShifting Gearscome about? DEBBE DUNNING:I had dinner with Tim, his wife Jane, and their daughter Elizabeth in June before Tim's golf tournament. I sat down at the table and I said to him, "There's been a lot of us that have done little guest spots on his previous showLast Man Standing— except for me!" And he's like, "Yeah, I know. I keep trying to have them write something in." You can't put somebody in a position like that, but I was kind of being funny, and I said, "Well, I think it's my turn." I had just said, "I would love to do something. I'm a pretty avid golfer. I could be your golf instructor. That would be funny." So then I get a text message and he says, "Are you available? PossibleShifting GearsAugust 13-19," and I just said, "I will clear my schedule. I will do anything to clear my schedule and then be back." Then I got a call and he wrote the word "fore" — like [golfing], and the ball's coming at you. I thought we were doing a golf thing on the show. And then I got the script, and it became real, and it was all about a completely different situation, and it was great. And then Tim said, "Richard is also going to be there, and possibly Patricia," and I was like, "Oh, this is going to be huge. This is what our viewers have wanted for almost 30 years." What was the dynamic like being back with all of those people? It was exciting. The whole time I was like, "This doesn't even seem real. It seems like we're back. And I know when I leave after taping, that's it. I'm not going to be able to come back here." You come back to Burbank — I mean, I was born across the street from ABC. I came into the same studio that I was in with my family for years and years. The studios have changed a little bit. Their dynamics are really beautiful, but it was good and it was bad. You come in, and you get the feel. All of a sudden your adrenaline is going like, 'This is amazing. I'm so excited to be back.' Momodu Mansaray/Getty And then you go through it, and then it's done. Just go home and you start to drive home and go, 'Wow, I want to do that again. I really want to do that again.' I thought it was really well written. I was a little nervous because I hadn't been there for so many years. I looked around the room in the first table reading and there were so many familiar faces fromHome Improvement. There was Don Morgan from the lighting, and Valerie Laven-Cooper from wardrobe, and Wendy Weiss in makeup. I was like, "Oh my gosh. Tim's taken his family and continued, continued throughLast Man Standingand nowShifting Gears." I mean, it says a lot about him. He loves family, and he hates it when someone tries to leave, which I love. Is there any chance that you or any of the others would be back for more? There's always a chance. I don't think any of us would say no. I can tell you right now, I would be there in a heartbeat. Who knows? Given the nature of the theme, they always say, 'Well, there's a possibility." But I think they've written most of the shows and they tweak 'em, obviously, every single night. So our script changes every single night. ABC What is your relationship like with Tim and your other co-stars fromHome Improvement? Is there a group chat? Richard and Tim and I have a group chat. I'll always send them something and they'll send me something back. And Richard and I do a lot of Comic-Cons together. What do you remember about working with the child stars onHome Improvement, Jonathan Taylor Thomas, Zachery Ty Bryan, and Taran Noah Smith? I used to tease 'em. I think it was like three years after the show, I go, "Oh, come on. I used to change your diaper." They're like, "No, you didn't!" I know I didn't, but we had a good time. Jonathan was so funny and quick-witted for such a young kid. He had such good calm with timing. He really handled the death of a teenage heartthrob very well. He was never a cocky kid. His mom was solely responsible for keeping him grounded, and I was a new mom at that time when I would watch her since my baby was born during the show. Have you ever crossed paths with those former child actors again since the show ended? I did run into Zach somewhere. I can't remember where we were. Maybe it was when Tim got his star on the Walk of Fame. It wasn't recently, but he was trying to do new businesses and he had a whole bunch of different ideas and he was really all over the board. I was like, "Oh, okay. Well gosh, good luck to you. What are you doing? Any acting or anything?" I think he was just trying to be an entrepreneur. He has seven children now. ABC Photo Archives/Disney General Entertainment Content via Getty How did you feel thatHome Improvementaffected your career? What were the kinds of roles that you were receiving before versus during and afterward? Home Improvementgave me a name. I did a lot of things. I was the Taco Bell commercial girl. I did 20 commercials for them, and I was that girl. But that wasn't anything. That was like, "Oh, she was in Taco Bell commercials. Who was that girl that nobody really knew?" They just knew she was Louise from Taco Bell. It gave me a name. I have gone to the most beautiful places in the world just because of my one part on a show that I did almost 30 years ago. It has changed and helped my life. I have three kids, and being a mom who's very involved, it has helped me physically, financially support them. It has changed my life and enhanced my life so much. ABC/Disney via Getty I do go to bed at night and think about, "Wow, how lucky did I get?" I really and truly am so blessed to have done this particular part. Yes, I still want to do more.I want to possibly doDancing With the Starsor maybe one of these other things, and maybe this tiny little thing onShifting Gearswill put me back out there. Who knows? You never know. It's a different world now. It's really hard. You talk to an agent and they're like, "How many followers do you have? Let us know when you're in the millions."

Book censorship in US schools has become 'rampant and common', free speech advocates warnNew Foto - Book censorship in US schools has become 'rampant and common', free speech advocates warn

A free speech advocacy group warned on Oct. 1 that book censorship in public schools across the United States has become "rampant and common," with book bans increasing significantly over the last few years. Though book censorship is not a new issue, the United States has seen a sharp rise in book bans and attempted bans since 2021. PEN America's"Banned in the USA" report, released on Oct. 1, recorded about 6,800 instances of books being removed from schools during the 2024-2025 academic year. While the new number is down from the more than 10,000 bans reported in the 2023-2024 school year, PEN America noted that it was still an uptick from previous years when the advocacy group did not release an annual report or index of book bans. Since July 2021, PEN America has documented more than 22,800 cases of book bans across 45 states and 451 public school districts. According to the report, the systematic removal of books from schools and school libraries in many parts of the country has resulted in the "normalization and routinization of censorship" in public education. PEN America cited "alarming censorship pressures" on school districts, including recent federal efforts to restrict education, continued attacks on LGBTQ+ identities, and state-mandated book bans. Just days after PresidentDonald Trumptook office in January, theU.S. Department of Educationcalled book bans a "hoax" and rescinded all department guidance that had suggested school districts' "removal of age-inappropriate books from its libraries may violate civil rights laws." "Censorship pressures have expanded and escalated, taking on different forms – laws, directives, guidance that sow confusion, lists of books mislabeled as 'explicit' materials, and 'do not buy' lists," Kasey Meehan, director of PEN America's Freedom to Read program, said in a statement. "A disturbing 'everyday banning' and normalization of censorship has worsened and spread over the last four years. The result is unprecedented." Between July 2024 and June 2025, PEN America tracked 6,870 instances of book bans across 23 states and 87 public school districts, according to the report. The report states that Florida led the nation for the third straight year, with over 2,300 instances of book bans for the 2024-2025 school year. Florida was followed by Texaswith more than 1,780 bans, andTennessee with over 1,600. The advocacy group noted in its report that school districts often remove titles that are attacked by extremist groups with anti-LGBTQ+ stances and are against diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts. "Educators and school boards comply out of fear of losing funding, being fired or harassed, even being subjected to police involvement," PEN America said in a news release. The report found that some of Florida's book bans were the result of direct pressure from local groups and elected officials rather than formal objections filed by parents with their local school boards. The report added that the increase in bans in the state was also due to the passage of multiple "vague laws" and threats to educators' professional licenses if they failed to comply. "No book shelf will be left untouched if local and state book bans continue wreaking havoc on the freedom to read in public schools," Sabrina Baêta, senior manager of PEN America's Freedom to Read program, said in a statement. "Book bans stand in the way of a more just, informed and equitable world. They chill the freedom to read and restrict the rights of students to access information and read freely." It'sespecially important when book bans happen in Florida, according to Meehan. She said the organization watches Florida's actions in particular since they see that the pressures placed on Florida's school districts often happen in other states or at the federal government level, through the Trump administration's orders. "We have always called Florida a blueprint state, because what happens in Florida in terms of book bans then kind of trickles out to other states," Meehan said. Book bans:Librarians, teachers and others plan day of action to fight book bans and preserve history PEN America has previously reported that the majority of targeted books were written by or about a person of color, a member of the LGBTQ+ community, or a woman. "The books that continue to be most frequently targeted typically contain themes related to race and racism, gender identity and sexuality, or depict sexual violence," the organization said. According to the report, the top five banned books for the 2024-2025 school year were: "A Clockwork Orange" by Anthony Burgess with 23 bans "Sold" by Patricia McCormick with 20 bans "Breathless" by Jennifer Niven with 20 bans "Last Night at the Telegraph Club" by Malinda Lo with 19 bans "A Court of Mist and Fury" by Sarah J. Maas with 18 bans Graphics explain the data:Most banned books feature people of color and LGBTQ+ characters The report noted that book bans continue to impact a "wide group of creative professionals" in the literary sector. During the 2024-2025 school year, book bans affected the works of almost 2,600 people, including over 2,300 authors, more than 240 illustrators, and nearly 40 translators, according to the report. The report states that the top five banned authors in the 2024-2025 school year were: Stephen King: Eighty-seven titles banned, totaling 206 times. Ellen Hopkins: Eighteen titles banned, totaling 167 times. Sarah J. Maas: Twenty-one titles banned, totaling 162 times Jodi Picoult: Twenty-three titles banned, totaling 62 times. Yūsei Matsui: Twenty-two manga books in the Assassination Classroom series were banned, totaling 54 times. Bestselling author Stephen King, shown in a 1970 file photo.

Taiwan considers high-tech strategic partnership with United StatesNew Foto - Taiwan considers high-tech strategic partnership with United States

TAIPEI (Reuters) -Taiwan is considering forming a high-tech strategic partnership with the U.S., which wants increased Taiwanese investment, the island's toptariffnegotiator said on Thursday, giving an update on talks with Washington. Taiwan, home to the world's biggest contract chipmaker TSMC, runs a large trade surplus with the United States. The island's exports to the U.S. are currently subject to a 20% tariff, a figure Taipei's government is seeking to cut. Taiwan Vice Premier Cheng Li-chiun, who is leading the tariff talks with Washington, told reporters in Taipei she was hopeful both sides could reach a consensus on expanding investment in the United States through a "Taiwan model". This would not involve relocating supply chains but rather extending and expanding U.S. production capacity, said Cheng, who returned this week from the latest round of talks. The government views the model for investing in the country as "industrial investment planning" coupled with government support measures such as export credit guarantees and joint Taiwan-U.S. development of industrial clusters, she added. "The current negotiation focus is that the United States expects us to expand investments and engage in supply chain cooperation," Cheng said. Neither the U.S. Commerce Department nor the Office of the United States Trade Representative has responded to requests for comment on the talks. The U.S. government went into shutdown on Wednesday. TSMC, whose business is surging on strong demand forartificial intelligenceapplications, is investing $165 billion to build chip factories in the U.S. state of Arizona, though the bulk of its production will remain in Taiwan. Cheng, who said TSMC did not take part in the latest talks, repeated that a proposal floated in U.S. media by Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick for a 50-50 split in making chips is not something Taiwan would agree to and was not brought up. "We can clearly say that we understand that the U.S. side's hope is to increase domestic production capability to satisfy U.S. domestic demand," she added. The aim of Taiwan's industry is to "remain rooted in Taiwan and deploy around the world, and then have bilateral strategic cooperation," Cheng said.

Babies' deaths in Cameroon show how US aid cuts curtail malaria fightNew Foto - Babies' deaths in Cameroon show how US aid cuts curtail malaria fight

By Amindeh Blaise Atabong, Robbie Corey-Boulet and Jennifer Rigby BOGO, Cameroon (Reuters) -Nine-month-old baby Mohamat burned with fever for three days before his family took him to the closest health centre in northern Cameroon, but it was too late. He died of malaria that day. Mohamat's death was part of a spike this year in malaria fatalities that local health officials attribute to foreign aid cuts by the United States. Before the cuts, Mohamat might have been diagnosed earlier by one of more than 2,000 U.S.-funded community health workers who would travel over rough dirt roads to reach the region's remotest villages. And at the health centre, he might have been treated with injectable artesunate, a life-saving drug for severe malaria paid for by U.S. funds that is now in short supply. But the centre had none to give out. Reuters travelled to northern Cameroon - where the U.S. had played a leading role in the malaria response for nearly a decade - to document how the sudden cuts are contributing to delayed malaria diagnoses, inadequate treatment and a growing number of deaths. This story is based on interviews with more than 20 doctors, nurses, community health workers, residents and former U.S. officials involved in malaria programming. Mohamat's father, sorghum and banana farmer Alhadji Madou Goni, is mourning a son he had hoped would one day escape poverty. "I feel so sad about my loss. I hope no one suffers from this (malaria) again," Goni, 30, told Reuters as he sat outside his home, his wife next to him holding prayer beads. "Since there is hardship here, and people don't have the means, we hope aid comes." U.S. MALARIA PROGRAMME DISRUPTED BY CUTS, END OF USAID Upon taking office in January, U.S.President Donald Trumppaused all foreign aid, including the President's Malaria Initiative (PMI), launched in 2005 by George W. Bush. The PMI is credited with helping to save 11.7 million lives and prevent 2.1 billion malaria cases. A limited waiver issued in February allowed life-saving work on malaria to continue, but PMI's 30 partner countries - most of them in Africa - have reported major disruptions linked to the dissolution of the U.S. Agency for International Development, the main implementer of PMI-funded programmes. In Cameroon's Far North region, where Goni lives, the cuts stripped support for PMI-funded community health workers who distributed prevention tools like bed nets and identified serious cases. PMI funded half - 1,492 out of 2,824 - of all community health workers in the region, said Dr Jean-Pierre Kidwang, coordinator of the regional technical group for malaria control. The support included a monthly stipend of 15,000 CFA francs ($26), a transport allowance, bicycles and clothing. Nearly all of the U.S.-funded community health workers are now out of service. Prosper Laurent Messe Fouda, head of planning, monitoring and evaluation at the National Malaria Control Programme, confirmed that 2,105 out of the 2,354 U.S.-funded workers in Cameroon's Far North and North regions were no longer working. AFTER FALLING FOR YEARS, MALARIA DEATHS NOW RISING PMI made Cameroon a focus country in 2017, and recorded malaria deaths in Far North dropped from 1,519 in 2020 to 653 in 2024 - but now appear to be rising, Kidwang said. "With PMI funding, we moved from a mortality rate of 17% to bring the situation down to 8%," Kidwang said. "Now, with the September–October peak underway, available trends indicate that fatalities are rising sharply, even though official data has yet to be released," he said, citing a figure of 15% for the first half of 2025. "We may get to a point where all the gains against malaria are reversed." The Trump administration says it is reforming foreign aid that did not align with its "America First" agenda and Secretary of State Marco Rubio has said repeatedly that no-one has died as a result of the cuts. Trump has said the U.S. pays disproportionately for foreign aid and wants others to pay more. Between 2010 and 2023, the U.S. contributed an average of 37% of funding for malaria programmes, the World Health Organization says. This year, the U.S. has cancelled more than 80% of aid contracts, but said life-saving work, including for malaria, would continue. Yet organizations on the ground and the WHO in April said "critical gaps" remained in the malaria response after the cancellations. Going forward, Trump's initial budget request for fiscal year 2026 included a 47% cut to PMI's budget from the just below $800 million it had hit in recent years, though Congress will have the final say later this year. The "America First Global Health Strategy" Rubio announced in September stated some commitments to reducing malaria mortality and incidence, but made no mention of PMI or budgets. A State Department spokesperson confirmed to Reuters that the programme would continue. Anne Linn, former senior community health advisor for PMI, told Reuters that before the January cuts the programme supported 115,000 community health workers across 30 countries. That all disappeared, she said, although it is unclear how much funding has since resumed and where governments and non-profits have stepped in to fill urgent gaps. The State Department spokesperson said in the future it would provide support to fight malaria through bilateral agreements with partner countries, and committed to maintaining 100% of current U.S. funding for commodities such as nets and drugs and frontline health workers in fiscal year 2026, before asking governments to co-invest. They gave no details of their current annual budget. CUTS BEING FELT IN SEVERAL AFRICAN COUNTRIES The effects of the cuts have been felt in a number of African countries, including Liberia, where some community health workers are volunteering without pay. In Cameroon's Far North, a region prone to droughts and flooding as well as violence linked to the Islamist Boko Haram insurgency in neighbouring Nigeria, the cuts came as officials were training community health workers to deploy during the rainy season, which runs from May to October, Kidwang said. Oumarou Gassi, one of the health workers, said he was devastated to lose the job. "I am struggling to survive. The little I used to get from the PMI project was helpful in supporting my family," he said. With health workers no longer in the field, more malaria cases are becoming severe, and the U.S. cuts have also hit the supply of injectable artesunate, Kidwang said. Far North was out of stock for much of this year, he said. Some 200,000 vials arrived in Maroua, the regional capital, on September 2, but that is not enough to meet the region's needs for even three months, he said. Authorities are trying to fill the gap but face resource constraints, said Olivia Ngou, executive director of Impact Sante Afrique, a nonprofit. PICTURE UNCLEAR AS U.S. CUTS ALSO AFFECT DATA COLLECTION Just how bad the situation gets may be difficult to gauge given that PMI also played a major role in data collection. That data is no longer online. PMI's website says it is "currently undergoing maintenance as we expeditiously and thoroughly review all of the content" to comply with Trump's executive orders. As a result, "we won't know the extent to which this bounce back is going to occur," said Louisa Messenger, a public health expert at the University of Nevada-Las Vegas who has worked with PMI and other malaria programmes in Africa. The big-picture data matters little to Djidja and Daouda Amadou, who lost their five-month-old girl to malaria in July. Like Goni, they waited in hopes the child's fever would subside before taking her to a health clinic, where staffers referred them to Maroua. By the time they arrived, it was too late, and now their baby is buried under a mound of earth in their yard. "I am devastated," Amadou said quietly. "The child's memory keeps coming back to me."
