Big influencer fight between Sophie Cachia and Mia Plecic when they cut off business

Image
Two of Australia’s most controversial influencers have reportedly cut off business ties following a series of public relations blunders. Mummy blogger Sophie Cachia and hair care entrepreneur Mia Plecic announced last year they were launching a ‘gender-neutral’ cosmetics brand together called Aisuru. Cachia, a former footy WAG who famously left her husband and got engaged to a woman in 2020, previously found success with her eponymous pajama brand and multimedia company Shaw Media. Controversial influencers Sophie Cachia (left) and Mia Plecic (right) have reportedly cut business ties after a series of PR disasters Mia is best known for her multi-million dollar hair products company, Slick Hair Co. But this week, Cachia announced that Aisuru is now a ‘one woman show’, seemingly confirming that Plecic has left the business. Outspoken the Podcast, which documents the social media star’s misadventures, speculated this week that the couple’s friendship has also been damaged.

A fight is going on between the Adelaide Oval and police over the reintroduction of canned alcohol

Adelaide Oval wants to bring back canned drinks for football fans, quietly moving to change its liquor license to allow it to sell beer in aluminum cans. Key points: Police union fears canned drinks could be used as missiles The Oval says moving to cans will reduce waste The state government will carefully consider the proposal But the move was opposed by the South Australian Police Association, which today raised concerns that the decision puts the officers on patrol at the risk at risk. Association president Mark Carroll said the sale of canned beer was previously banned after it was used as a projectile against police. The Adelaide Oval Stadium Management Authority said selling the cans would reduce the amount of waste that has to be processed and be more environmentally friendly. But Mr Carroll argued it was a policy that would end up hurting someone. “It’s a romantic notion isn’t it, but there’s a reason aluminum cans are banned from stadiums across Australia and that’s because th

'I had to fight so many battles to get this thing done': Don McLean looks back on his masterpiece, American Pie

Image
Don McLean has been listening for decades as people sing his classic American Pie on the last call or at karaoke — and praise his efforts. “I’ve heard whole bars blast this song when I was across the room,” McLean told The Associated Press from a tour bus bound for Des Moines, Iowa. “And they had so much fun singing it that I realized, ‘You don’t have to worry about how well you sing this song anymore. Even if it’s sung badly, people are very happy with it.'” Happiness may be an understatement. American Pie is considered a masterpiece, selected among the top five songs of the century compiled by the Recording Industry Association of America and the National Endowment for the Arts. Load McLean — and his single about “the day the music died” — is now the subject of a full-featured documentary, The Day the Music Died: The Story of Don McLean’s American Pie, streaming on Paramount+. This is an essential spectacle for McLean fans or anyone who admires his sonic treasures. It also repr

A Set small text size A Set default text size A Set large text size The Queensland Reds’ second-line stake has been restored with key acquisition of Luke Jones’s Tes until 2025. The 31-year-old, who played the last of his six Tests in 2019, will return to Australian rugby from a second stint in France to effectively replace England-bound Lukhan Salakaia-Loto. Jones played 89 Super Rugby matches between 2010-20 for the Western Force and Melbourne Rebels and has just started a stint with Kurtley Beale at Racing 92 in the French Top 14. Offering experience playing against current Reds coach and former All Blacks key Brad Thorn, Jones’ pedigree is welcome given the defeats of Salakaia-Loto and prostitute Alex Mafi (Melbourne Rebels) in the off-season. “It’s great to bring home another Wallaby at the Reds,” said Reds football boss Sam Cordingley of the Sydney product. “Luke is a great addition to our squad. He is a very experienced key with a high work rate, the

Bacterial-based biohybrid microrobots on a mission to fight cancer someday

Stuttgart – A team of scientists in the Department of Physical Intelligence at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems has combined robotics with biology by equipping E. coli bacteria with artificial components to build a biohybrid microrobot. First, as can be seen in Figure 1, the team attached several nanoliposomes to each bacterium. In its outer ring, this spherical carrier encloses a material (ICG, green particle) that melts when illuminated by near infrared light. Further to the center, within the aqueous core, liposomes encapsulate water-soluble chemotherapeutic drug (DOX) molecules. The second component the researchers attached to the bacteria were magnetic nanoparticles. When exposed to a magnetic field, the iron oxide particles serve as a boost over these already highly motile microorganisms. In this way, it is easier to control the bacterial pool – a design refined towards in vivo applications. Meanwhile, the binding strap of liposomes and magnetic particles in
