Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet sell homegrown fruit and vegetables at a farmers’ market to understand the “value of things,” Meghan Markle has said.

The Duchess of Sussex, 43, believes the practice helps teach her kids the value of money because they are “very lucky” to live in a “privileged” home. She and Prince Harry encourage the children to do gardening regularly, and take pride in the crops in order to sell them at a market in Montecito, California.

There is a cost and a price for things, Meghan said, and I believe that’s important for kids to understand that, in addition to being kind to others and taking care of the things that are around you, there is a value on things. “

The duchess, who is the co-founder of Kim Kardashian’s Skims line, told a friend and fellow podcaster, British-born Good American CEO Emma Grede, that gardening is “really really great for kids because it teaches them patience and how to value and appreciate their food.” “

Meghan recently shared a sweet photo of Mia, a Sussexes’ beagle, sniffing a basket of fresh produce that appeared to be growing in her Montecito mansion. The mother claimed at the time that she uses garden-grown vegetables to make Archie and Lilibet’s packed lunches.

At the conclusion of a long day, I adore it. At around 7 or 8 am, the kids are going to bed. I’m having a glass of wine while they are having a quick lunch downstairs. Whatever causes me to enjoy it, it can be therapeutic. Meghan continued on the podcast, “That is one of my simple pleasures.”

This is a crucial time. I love that I can do drop-off and pick-up at school, meet with my kids, and then travel to Disneyland for two days, as we recently did. And you know, you can volunteer to take the lead on the kindergarten field trip or to provide hot lunch at school. “

Real Madrid’s Mbappe a doubt for Al Hilal clash at Club World Cup

By in News, World News

Kylian Mbappe, who missed training on Tuesday due to illness, is doubt for Real Madrid’s opening Club World Cup game against Saudi Arabia’s Al Hilal.

With newly-appointed manager Xabi Alonso making his debut in the dugout for Wednesday’s game, the club announced that Mbappe had been having a fever and that a decision on his participation would be made in the morning.

We felt it would be best for Kylian to skip training because he was a little better this morning, but he wasn’t fully fit. On the eve of the clash at Hard Rock Stadium, Alonso stated in a press conference that “let’s see how it evolves,” and that we will make a last-minute decision.

Alonso may have to choose between Mbappe because he is currently the only recognized center-forward in the squad due to his potential absence.

Endrick, a teenager from Brazil, was substituted after suffering a leg muscle injury last month during Real’s La Liga game against Sevilla. He could have offered an alternative.

Since joining Real Madrid in a high-profile summer move from Paris St Germain, Mbappe has scored 31 La Liga goals this season.

Alonso insisted that his team would need to press “like a unit” despite Mbappe’s potential absence.

“Defensive work is crucial. The Spaniard said that it is one of the things we need to do in the short and long term, which will be crucial to our success.

Real Madrid, who has won five of the last ten Champions League titles, is considered to be one of the favorites to win the tournament. They have dominated European football for the past ten years.

Al Hilal will exploit any weaknesses in Madrid’s lineup to strengthen their position in the AFC Champions League in 2021.

US Senate passes stablecoin bill in milestone victory for crypto sector

By in News, World News

In a turning point for the digital asset sector, the US Senate approved a bill to establish a regulatory framework for the US-dollar-pegged cryptocurrency tokens known as stablecoins.

The GENIUS Act, which was nicknamed after Democrats and Republicans, was supported by a number of Democrats on Tuesday. It passed 68-30. Before it is submitted to President Donald Trump’s desk for approval, the House of Representatives, which is led by Republicans, must pass its version of the legislation.

Stablecoins, a type of cryptocurrency that maintains a constant value, typically a 1: 1 dollar peg, are frequently used by crypto traders to transfer funds between tokens. They are increasingly popular, and supporters claim they could be used to send payments right away.

The stablecoin bill would require issuers to publicly disclose the composition of their reserves each month and require tokens to be backed by liquid assets like US dollars and short-term Treasury bills.

Andrew Olmem, a managing partner at Mayer Brown and former National Economic Council deputy director, referred to it as “a major milestone” during Trump’s first term.

For the first time, it establishes a regulatory framework for stablecoins, a rapidly expanding financial sector, and industry.

A clear framework, according to the crypto industry, could make stablecoins more widely used, as it has long been a stance of the crypto industry for lawmakers to pass legislation establishing regulations for digital assets. The sector tried to portray the issue as bipartisan after spending more than $ 119 million supporting pro-crypto candidates in the previous year’s elections.

A stablecoin bill was passed last year in the House, but it was abandoned by the Senate, where Democrats had a majority at the time.

Inter-relationships are at stake

After being drawn in by the sector during his presidential campaign, Trump has attempted to radically alter US cryptocurrency laws.

The White House wants a stablecoin bill to be passed before August, according to Bo Hines, who is in charge of Trump’s Council of Advisers on Digital Assets.

As Democrats become more and more angry with Trump and his family members promoting their personal crypto projects, tensions on Capitol Hill have escalated to threaten to derail the digital asset sector’s hope of legislation this year.

According to Bartlett Naylor, a consumer rights advocate for Public Citizen, “Selectors forfeited their opportunity to confront Trump’s crypto grift, which is the largest, most flagrant corruption in presidential history,” in advance of these bills.

Trump’s crypto ventures include World Liberty Financial, a meme coin he coined in January, and a crypto company he partly owns.

Trump’s assets are in a trust that his children run, according to the White House, and there are no conflicts of interest.

Other Democrats argued that the bill needed stronger anti-money laundering laws and prohibitions on foreign stablecoin issuers, and that it would not stop Big Tech companies from issuing their own private stablecoins.

In remarks made on the Senate floor in May, Senator Elizabeth Warren, a Democrat, said that “a bill that turbocharges the stablecoin market is worse than no bill at all while facilitating the president’s corruption and undermining national security, financial stability, and consumer protection.”

In the House, the bill might need to be changed.

The Conference of State Bank Supervisors called for “critical changes” to be made to lessen risks of financial stability in a statement.

‘The abuse never stops’ – Lionesses to avoid social media

Alessia Russo, an England international, says she prefers to avoid social media because of how “damaging” it can be when playing in major tournaments.

As her Lionesses team prepare for their European Championship defense in Switzerland next month, the 26-year-old was discussing the situation with her Lionesses teammates.

Katie Boulter, the British women’s tennis player, spoke to BBC Sport about the abuse and death threats she had received online.

Chelsea’s Lauren James said “the abuse never really stops,” while Manchester United’s Grace Clinton 22, says she will try to stay away from social media to avoid a “toxic environment.”

Russo, a 26-year-old Arsenal forward, said, “I think every player might have a different story about that side of the game, but it can definitely be really damaging.”

“I’ve faced it before, and I believe most players here have.” I was probably sucked into it more when I was younger.

I listened to it more than I should have, and I read it more than I should have. My family, my coaches, and my team-mates are the only ones who have any influence.

“In my first Euros, I would look at and scroll and sometimes get sucked into a trap.

I completely abandoned everything and had people control my Instagram before the World Cup. I kept my attention on the competition.

“It’s personal preference and whatever suits the team,” the coach said. What works for me is to stay focused as a team and not give up on it.

James spoke about the abuse she received while speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live Breakfast, saying that sometimes, even when someone loses at an EA Sports FC video game, my card is being used against them and that I get treated unfairly.

I’m going to just brush it off my shoulder because I’m used to it, even though it might be your first time.

Chelsea midfielder Kiera Walsh admitted to 5 Live that she no longer uses social media, while teammate Lucy Bronze said: “People write horrible things, and obviously our families read it as well, and it can be upsetting if you see something that’s not very nice.

“Social media is amazing in some ways and absolutely awful in others. Most of us, in my opinion, have been off at some point.

Ella Toone, a midfielder for Manchester United, stated that while she won’t use Instagram while playing the game, she will respect any team-mates who decide to avoid using social media while in Switzerland.

“I am aware that some people turn off their phones. We have that conversation, she said, and we are all aware of how each other wants to play the tournament.

“I won’t tell anyone or tell the team because they don’t want to see something I see on Instagram,” I said. It’s a personal preference, in my opinion.

Both her and Russo want to assist younger players in the squad in dealing with online abuse because both of them have done so as players.

According to Toone, “I believe from the experiences I and Alessia have had in the past, we have always been the people who want to make sure the younger or less experienced players join the squad feel safe and relaxed,” he continued.

I wouldn’t have left home for Trump’s America – Navratilova

By in News, Sports News

Martina Navratilova left everything she knew about communist Czechoslovakia to begin a new life in the US fifty years ago.

She would later become one of tennis’s most famous players and was one of the most prominent defectors of the Cold War at the age of 18.

She claims to have been worried that the US “wouldn’t let me in” when she spoke to Amol Rajan on the BBC.

In some parts of the country, President Trump’s administration has carried out extensive immigration raids that have sparked protests since taking office in January. Additionally, he has placed a travel ban on citizens of 12 nations, and there have been reports of border border detentions for tourists.

It would not be America because it is currently not a democracy, she says, if I were to stay in that same position [as in 1975] and had to relocate somewhere.

Navratilova clearly feels frustrated when she discusses US politics. She thinks that the situation is getting worse as people ignore it.

She adds that there is “undoubtedly a turning point” between the US and immigrants.

“People are getting chucked out by Homeland Security because they don’t fully understand Donald Trump’s agenda,” she says.

She claims that it wasn’t easy to make the decision to leave the US in 1975. She describes growing up in Revnice, modern-day Czechia, with a loving family she was leaving behind, as an “idyllic” childhood. “I never knew if I would see my parents again,” he said.

However, doing so altered Navratilova’s life forever. She claimed at the time that she wanted to leave Czechoslovakia because she “couldn’t do it under those circumstances at home” and that she wanted to become the world’s number one tennis player.

She's sitting next to Amol Rajan, who is wearing a black collared shirt. Both are smiling at the camera. The background is out of focus but there are windows and beige curtains visible.

Navratilova still lives in the US with her wife Julia Lemigova, a model, and is a dual citizen of the US and the Czech Republic. Does she worry that she might lose her citizenship in the current political environment?

“The whole point is up in the air right now,” the statement continues. Everyone walks on eggshells without knowing what will happen.

However, she has previously stated that she agrees with President Trump regarding the participation of transgender women in sports.

She claims she disagrees with the current World Tennis Association (WTA) regulations that allow transgender women to play in women’s sports if they provide a written and signed declaration that they are female or non-binary, that their testosterone levels have been below a certain threshold for two years, and that they continue to maintain those levels.

She claims that trans women have biological advantages in women’s sports, a theory that is rife with controversy.

Male bodies must participate in male sports, she says, “but there should be no bullying and ostracism.” They are still able to compete. Transwomen’s participation in sports is not prohibited. They just need to compete in the male category, which is the proper category. That is the nature of it.

She continues, “A woman is not getting into the tournament because a male has taken her place by including male bodies in the women’s tournament.”

The British Lawn Tennis Association changed its rules in December of last year, making transgender women no longer eligible to compete in some domestic tennis tournaments.

The UK Supreme Court ruled in April that biological sex is what constitutes a woman’s legal definition. When questioned if she thinks tennis should follow the UK court’s example, she responds, “100%.”

I’m going to die, my God, I promise.

Navratilova has been candid about her recent 15-year battle with cancer.

At the age of 52, she was first identified with breast cancer. Then, 13 years later, it came back along with a second, unrelated throat cancer.

Navratilova says, “The way I found out, I went like this,” rubbing her hands against her face as if shocked by something. And I’m like, “Oh, this lymph node is a little bigger.” And it’s still bigger a few weeks later.

Doctors discovered the second cancer in her breast after a scan.

“We got the results, and it’s cancer,” she says. “And I’m like, I’m going to die, my God, I promise..”

She claims the treatment was “hell,” but she now feels “all right.”

She laughs, “Knock on wood, all clear, and no side effects,” noting that other than red wine, which still doesn’t taste good, I’ve turned my attention to tequila and vodka. “I’m lucky. The treatment was “hell,” but the results were fantastic.

Has Navratilova’s life completely changed as a result of cancer?

Martina Navratilova is interviewed by Amol Rajan on BBC 2 at 19:00 on June 18 and on BBC iPlayer.

Pamela Anderson is relishing her second chance at acting after making peace with her past. Now 57, Pammy – who rose to fame in the early 1990s as Baywatch lifeguard CJ Parker – is living life on her own terms.

And after five marriages, that includes a brief moment of single bliss. She says, “I’m just trying to live this area of my life as authentically as possible.” I believe that I get to do it my way because I was given a second chance. I have to put my faith in someone if they enter my life.

It’s a new era for former Playboy model Pamela, who is loving her acting renaissance after retreating from the spotlight following her sex tape scandal. It saw the private movie she made with then husband, rocker Tommy Lee Jones, stolen and leaked to the in 1995.

The actress described the devastating saga as “I knew I had more to give, but I thought, Oh well, not in this lifetime, I guess” because of what had transpired in both my personal and professional lives. I pondered, “I’ll just do what I have to do to keep the lights on and be with my kids.”

She described how difficult it was to protect her sons Brandon, 29, and Dylan, 27, from the aftermath. When I picked them up from surf camp, Pamella recalled, “I would ask them, Are you Pamela Anderson?” That’s what? Mom, the kids are saying so much about you.

You want to tell your kids appropriate stories, but they always found out before. What could possibly be worse than what happened to their father and I, really?

Moving away from the showbiz world, Pamela now enjoys a quieter life on Vancouver Island. “I wanted to remember who I was, so I went back to where the trees have known me since birth,” explained Pamela.

I literally replanted my garden to see what would grow, and I rewrote my life. I pondered, “I’m going to make pickles and jams here, and I’m totally happy.” It’s actually the beginning of something when you think it’s the end. For me, that is what it was.

A Broadway role as Roxie Hart in musical Chicago brought Pamela back into the spotlight. “That just opened me up again,” she said. Recently starring in acclaimed movie The Last Showgirl, she features in upcoming comedy The Naked Gun alongside Liam Neeson, 73.

She teased me, “it’s going to show a different side of me.” Every movie I watch recently seems to be rehabilitating various aspects of me. And if you want to make these kinds of things interesting, you need a big, messy life to draw from.

Pammy hasn’t had makeup since she returned. She claims that because of her resistance to beauty conventions, she has always been a “rebel.” The actress claims that she is “concerned to ageing” as she poses for red carpets without makeup.

“I think that with AI technology and filters, people are becoming kind of boring-looking,” she explained. “I want to challenge beauty norms. I’ve always been a rebel. I never see somebody and think, ‘I want to look like that.’

“I’m just interested in seeing who I am,” I reply. You have to say, “This is all I have,” at some point. Give in to it. And it’s truly joyful. It’s libertarian to wear no makeup on as you walk on a red carpet. Why can’t I, really? Men consistently do it.
