This was his ninth season in the NHL after the LA Kings selected him with the 29th overall pick in the 2014 NHL Draft and he looks to be just starting to hit the peak of his career The Los Angeles Kings had a record-setting regular season as a franchise and it was due in large part to the performance of Adrian Kempe Kempe would finish with over 70 points and would lead the team this season in points with 73 He was tied with Kevin Fiala for the team lead in goals with 35 while adding 38 assists One of the things that was most impressive about Kempe's season and why he received the grade he did was just how consistent he was He would finish the season with at least one point in over half the games he played and had a goal in 32 games While it wasn't with the Kings, Adrian Kempe did participate in the 4-Nations Faceoff during the season and it seems like it was a chance for the rest of hockey to catch up with what Kings' fans know He showed off his shot and made a big impact for Team Sweden Kempe would continue his strong regular season into the playoffs and while the Kings didn't get the result they wanted their star forward definitely made his presence known He would have nine points in the first three games with four goals and five assists It will be interesting to see what the Los Angeles Kings do in free agency and the offseason but expectations for Adrian Kempe will remain very high going into next season He is the team's best forward at this point and must handle a majority of the scoring for this team The good news is that Kempe has shown he can handle that based on the past few seasons The biggest question in regards to their star forward is whether or not the team can reach a new contract as he is entering the final year of his current contract It should be a priority for the team this offseason because of what he brings to this offense © 2025 Minute Media -

Just one antisocial fellow traveller can ruin a journey Is it a giant two-fingered gesture to the rest of the world Some time in the early years of the last decade a friend and I travelled by train from London to Barcelona where we would be covering a football match for work playing Scrabble and drinking train wine as we sped south was watching a cartoon or playing a game on an iPad without the benefit of headphones The sound wasn’t so much loud as persistent Slowly but surely it drilled its way into our skulls and started to eat into our souls I shot the family a couple of glances but got a look back which managed to communicate two things Secondly that if they took the iPad off the kid And an otherwise perfectly pleasurable journey started to drag After a bit of faff they were connected to the iPad the wretched noise ceased and I got a round of applause from men I relate this story even though I never think it’s a good look to be the hero of your own anecdotes My excuse is that the incident reminds me of how rare such behaviour was back then people were known to yak away too loudly on their phones but whoever they were talking at remained a stranger to us And if anyone was watching or listening to something a bit of tinny noise would occasionally leak out Why do so many people on public transport or in public places now have the sound on their phones coming through the speakers instead of headphones Do they think it’s acceptable or do they know it’s unacceptable and do it anyway It was an afternoon as gentle and warm as you’re ever going to get in west London all of it generated by just one young woman with some very angry sounding music fighting its way out of her phone We all looked down at our phones or the floor I thought about trying my French train trick and offering her my headphones but concluded that neither my headphones nor I would survive this If any of us had dared to say anything we would have had to shout to make ourselves heard before – I sense – having to run for our lives Some bloke rang her and we all listened to a conversation This went on for so long that I found myself yearning for the return of the dreadful music I was fascinated more than angered by this absurd performance Try as I might to find a charitable explanation the only one I could come up with is that it was a giant two-fingered gesture to the whole world wordlessly posing the question: “I know this is out of order I spent a couple of stops trying to work out how But before I came up with anything she alighted And for the time being I remain none the wiser Senior District ReporterPublished: Invalid Date EUROMILLIONS jackpot winner Adrian Bayford is moving in with his mum Adrian, 54, who won a £148million fortune with then-wife Gillian in 2012 is quitting the seven-bed country pile he shares with fiancée Tracey Biles at a nearby four-bed cottage he bought for his parents A pal said: “He thinks he can just downsize and have a simple life and go back to how things used to be before he was mega rich "The house he is leaving is one he bought with his ex Gillian and where he split from his other fiancées so it’s full of bad memories for him He loves his mum so it makes sense for them to all move in together.” He planted a vineyard, opened an Airbnb and staged rock festivals there.

It has to be; Neue Klasse’s importance is evidenced by BMW’s marketing and messaging strategies at present; Never before has a new model line generated such a waterfall of digital Bavarian ink You'll find Neue Klasse teasers everywhere from BMW's social media to this very site let's say this also adds some pressure," Van Hooydonk said "We saw at the very early stages of this project that we were basically going to change everything about cars as we know them inside BMW So from every bit of technology to every bit of design but Van Hooydonk is no stranger to the pressurizes of BMW design The Dutchman started his journey with BMW back in 1992 following graduation from Delft Polytechnic University with a master's in industrial design. In the interim you could say Van Hooydonk’s seen a roundel or two roll off the line.  He currently sits as the BMW Group’s Design Director earning the mantle after Chris Bangle’s departure from the position in 2009 Many key Bimmers were breathed to life on van Hooydonk’s drafting board but Neue Klasse offered a design challenge unlike any other. By borrowing the “Neue Klasse” moniker from its own locker evoking the brand’s infamous sedans like the 1500 and 2002 and pits these "new" Neue Klasse cars against a hallowed critical chapter in its own history.  The "old" Neue Klasse cars debuted in 1962 and ran for roughly a decade Sales of these groundbreaking and—at the time—sophisticated sedans arguably saved BMW itself allowing the firm to turn a profit and to pay back its shareholders for the first time in a decade Neue Klasse's success laid groundwork for BMW as we understand it today.  It was a technology and design-driven revolution for the Bavarians Neue Klasse debuted more than a few cornerstones of 20th-century BMW How do you balance all that history and the expectation it demands with an eye to the future or let's say the exercise that we went through was 'How can we bring out the very essence of the BMW brand while using fewer elements fewer details?' And I think we will manage that," van Hooydonk said laying lines that are simple and low and angular van Hooydonk praised Bertone’s Lancia Stratos Zero concept (one of the many great wedge designs) He called the wedge-like Zero a piece of timeless and argued it’s perhaps the most-beautiful car ever built (Though BMW's own E9 coupe and M1 supercar were in the hunt Upcoming Neue Klasse cars won’t borrow from the Zero's design explicitly but will perhaps benefit from a modern take on Bertone's reductionist philosophy hewing both more angular and much simpler than recent BMWs Van Hooydonk noted that seven generations of BMW 3 Series have already passed since their birth While some 3 Series designs offered small visual tweaks when a new generation debuted other generations leapt ahead a great deal and it'll be such a big step that it almost looks like we jumped one generation That's how big the change is going to be," he said.  While it’s fairly standard to hear designers talk about taking chances are the exceptions to an industry that defaults to malaise compartmentalizing its risk in low-volume or low-visibility models That's not Van Hooydonk's BMW; Whatever you think of the 4 Series’s gaping grille to be brave in the face of online echo chambers and scathing critic fanboys like myself who have never warmed to the look of the newest M4. Van Hooydonk sees it more like opportunity deflecting the idea that past scorn would temper any leap forward for BMW design if one is confronted with something very new the first reaction is rarely positive," he said meeting my comments about the M4’s grille head-on we had a lot of [complaints about its grille].. That feedback and the sales of these cars have done really well." Van Hooydonk was quick to note it wasn’t arrogance speaking Each big visual change for the brand faces market research with BMW customers BMW has a magic 8-ball's insight into whether designs will last The process allows van Hooydonk some slack to experiment if we talk about the front end of a BMW in a wider sense the Neue Klasse will show some interesting new solutions where we are going to replace chrome (accents) with light," Van Hooydonk said "I think people will see things that they will undeniably recognize as BMW even though it's not like any BMW that they've seen before." New BMW iX3 Prototype With Neue Klasse Sedan Though Van Hooydonk’s team is around 700-strong van Hooydonk will face the brunt as a figurehead for BMW design but past criticisms haven’t tempered his ambition for Neue Klasse but that's no guarantee that people will buy our product," van Hooydonk said "The only guarantee is that if you want to be a part of the future 2026 Jeep Compass Unveiled: Hybrid or EV With Up to 375 HP Lotus Emira With Yellow Exhaust Tips Pays Tribute to an F1 GOAT BMW Keeps Hinting at an Electric 3 Series Wagon The Cadillac Celestiq Will Be as Rare as a Bugatti In a new interview with Andrew McKaysmith of the Scars And Guitars podcast IRON MAIDEN guitarist Adrian Smith spoke about the benefits and drawbacks of social media saying that far too many people find themselves engulfed in their smartphones thereby creating a surge of depression and anxiety He said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): "Well you've only gotta drive down the street and you've gotta stop your car 'cause people are walking out in front of you 'cause they're on their phones You get bombarded with all the things you like you're looking at it with your neck bent over like that You are bombarded with news 24-7 about all these terrible things that are happening in the world It's not natural to have to be so concerned with absolutely everything "I think people are moving way beyond their personal spheres trying to change things that they have no power on because they're aware of them and then they feel that they have to do something about it," he continued "And they've stopped getting on with the basic And it's just — I don't think it makes people happy Smith also weighed in on a debate about people using artificial intelligence (A.I.) to create music What was it someone was telling me the other day as a birthday present or as a present to his friends "I can't see it having any effect," he continued even digital recording and Pro Tools now has enabled anyone to make up something that — you can present something that sounds respectable At least I grew up old school where you had to actually play in the studio;

And he used to say ten or twenty minutes,' and then we used to have a coffee and chat a bit He would give me a hug and we would pray a little bit together." Adrians recalls the meetings "used to be quick said 'no,'" because as Bergoglio used to say Tell me how you are and how's the family..."

For Current Students For Faculty and Staff University Directory Rogers also claims another place as home.   “I consider my second home to be San Salvador where my mom and her family are from,” he said Rogers is majoring in film/studio production with a minor in studio art at UA Little Rock Though initially drawn to engineering and robotics  “After realizing a passion in film and post production I really wanted to dive deep into media and film,” he said.  His first entry into the field came while filming weddings and events for a Latin photography company in Little Rock.  I was on my feet 12 hours filming this competition in the thick of July,” he recalled.  Rogers said it was an enriching experience that deepened his connection to the broader Latin community his resilience has carried him through numerous other opportunities “Adrian has operated a camera for ESPN+’s coverage of Trojan games, he’s shot videos for a real estate company, and worked as a wedding videographer,” said Dr. Simon Hawkins, director of UA Little Rock’s Donaghey Scholars Honors Program “He’s been an intern for KATV News and for the NPR Art & Letters Podcast but it doesn’t show the background work he had to put in to get each of these positions.” Hawkins said Rogers heard about a major film shooting in Little Rock and saw it as a chance to gain experience He reached out to his professors and found that none had connections to the production He kept asking around and eventually connected with someone on the set through a friend He was able to wrangle an unpaid internship as a production assistant.  Adrian showed the kind of tenacity and relentlessness that is necessary to be successful in such a competitive field,” Hawkins said.  Rogers ended up interning on the set of the western film “The Isolate Thief.” The cast included big names like Sean Bean from “The Lord of the Rings,” Odeya Rush from “Lady Bird,” Mackenzie Foy from “Interstellar,” and Joe Pantoliano from “Dexter.” being on a feature film set had been a childhood dream “Terminologies were thrown around precariously and learning the hierarchy of the film set was daunting,” he said I would be responsible for setting up tents The hardest part was balancing my finals during the day and working on the film at night.” Rogers said being a production assistant was a humbling experience that made him feel responsible for the overall environment on set One memory stands out: being tasked with cleaning up after horses “The reactions from the crew were hilarious as they were in awe that I was able to catch everything in my shovel effortlessly,” he said His educational journey also took him to Brisbane where he studied at the Griffith Film School through the University Studies Abroad Consortium Without knowing anyone and without guidance on class selection He ended up accidentally enrolling in both first- and second-year courses but the experience helped him form friendships and exposed him to cutting-edge film techniques and equipment Rogers worked on “Canary,” a documentary about an immigrant mother’s journey from Spain to Australia “It reminded me of my own mother and her adjustment from El Salvador to the United States,” he said “The editing portion was pretty difficult as I had to organize interview footage “Canary” was later picked up by Australia’s SBS On Demand and screened at the El Dorado Film Festival in Arkansas secretary of the League of United Latin American Citizens and helping organize events like movie nights and student film showcases “Mothball: Lost but Found,” explores hidden spots around the UA Little Rock campus like the observatory and planetarium Rogers credits much of his success to the university’s Donaghey Scholars Program  “They have been able to fund my education and support my passion for film,” he said Rogers said the biggest inspiration has been his mom  “She has constantly pushed me to find the best opportunity and to fight for what I want,’ he said “Being raised in a Spanish-speaking household has opened a lot of doors around campus and I am grateful that I have the ability to share stories both in English and Spanish.”  who invited him to attend the Turner Classic Movies Festival in Los Angeles an Instagram account where he’s shared highlights of his college life since 2021.  “From skits with friends to interviews at Arkansas Comic Con to highlighting my experiences in Australia Goo News has been with me to serve as a creative avenue to share my film passion with others,” Rogers said adding that Goo News is a “testimony of the various communities I am a part of and I find myself humbled by each and everyone’s story.” Rogers plans to take a year off to explore Arkansas’s film scene before potentially heading to graduate school “I

attack Formula 1's 2026 regulations Newey was presented last year as Aston Martin's new managing technical partner but Aston waited until early March for the former Red Bull design guru to start at his new employer his firm focus is now on kicking off the 2026 regulations cycle on the front foot But Aston is struggling for performance in 2025 against its midfield rivals and suggestions that Newey might be pulled into its current car's development process have already been dismissed by team principal Andy Cowell felt this was the right call and suggested Newey's March start was already later than the legendary designer would have liked to get the best start on the 2026 rules "I think he would probably have preferred even joining the team one year ago and start on '26 I'm sure that he thinks it's late," said Alonso I understand completely that he needs to focus only on next year's car so I don't think it's up to him to fix the car." The two-time world champion said he had lunch at Aston Martin's new Silverstone factory with Newey before Miami and said he left convinced that the team's 2025 struggles won't have any sort of lingering effect on how it bounces back when the new era begins He added that Newey and other key hires joining the team will be able to bring invaluable championship winning expertise to the ambitious Lawrence Stroll-owned outfit Asked if chatting to Newey had given him renewed faith in the team's ability to turn things around I think this year is just a continuation of some of the problems that we found in the last two seasons and we were not able to overcome some of the obstacles that we found with the new regulations and Adrian on board I think nothing of this year's car is going to be into next year's project "There is a better understanding of where we are lacking capabilities and where we are behind some of the top teams some of these new people that joined the team have a good reference because they come from world championship contenders From Formula 1 to MotoGP we report straight from the paddock because we love our sport In order to keep delivering our expert journalism we want to give you the opportunity to enjoy an ad-free and tracker-free website and to continue using your adblocker CORAL GABLES – Coral Gables police arrested a man Wednesday after they said he burglarized a law firm in the city while armed and issued threats over an ongoing case Leer en español burglarized the Legon Fodiman & Sudduth firm seen in surveillance video carrying a rifle case “videotaped himself in front of the business” and then entered the firm and took a video inside of its file room He then sent an email to the firm threatening it with harm “if they did not settle a case in his favor” and “also included a photo of a black rifle with a SIG Sauer scope,” it states Police said he also left a threatening voicemail The firm had “represented a client in a civil matter” against Reed Authorities said they were able to track him down using license plate reader data and found his car parked near 14th Street and Washington Avenue on South Beach on Wednesday “In plain view on the passenger seat was a rifle bag matching the one previously seen on the incident location’s video surveillance,” the report states was a black rifle with a scope matching the description of the one photographed in the email received by the victim The rifle was readily accessible for (Reed) and had a round chambered in the rifle.” The rifle bag “also appeared to be a match” for the one seen in the video Police arrested Reed on charges of armed burglary threats or extortion and written threats to kill or do bodily injury where a Miami-Dade judge ordered that he be held without bond He was jailed in the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center as of Thursday morning Copyright 2025 by WPLG Local10.com - All rights reserved Chris Gothner joined the Local 10 News team in 2022 as a Digital Journalist TV Listings Email Newsletters RSS Feeds Closed Captioning / Audio Description Contact Us Careers at WPLG Terms of Use Privacy Policy Public File FCC Applications EEO Report Do Not Sell My Info 1.0 Host Exhibit Copyright © 2025 Local10.com is published by WPLG INC.

Gaither Junior Fellowship by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace colleges and universities across the country put forward more than 200 nominees to the national fellowship program and approximately 15 one-year fellowships are awarded Gaither fellows provide research assistance to Carnegie senior scholars and have opportunities to work on a range of projects and books; contributing to congressional testimony; and organizing briefings for scholars More information about the Gaither Junior Fellowship can be found on the Undergraduate Research website. Applications are due in November. Tan, a senior majoring in international relations with a minor in music composition, is pursuing a coterminal master’s degree in public policy. He was inspired to apply for the fellowship after hearing Herb Lin, senior research scholar for cyber policy and security at the Center for International Security and Cooperation, speak on the final day of his Technology and National Security class. In his talk, Lin highlighted the critical role young people play in international security and encouraged students to dedicate a part of their lives to serving the nation in that capacity. “That can take many forms, such as soldier, civil servant, or diplomat,” said Tan, who is pursuing honors in international security through CISAC. “I think my way to contribute before I head off to law school is by working as a scholar and thinking about our world’s most unsolvable, intractable issues. Working as a Junior Fellow at Carnegie will give me insight into the various facets of international relations, as well as the opportunity to be mentored by leading scholars at the organization.” After the fellowship, Tan plans to attend Harvard Law School through its Junior Deferral Program and hopes to pursue a career as an international lawyer. Feinberg, an international relations major pursuing honors in democracy, development, and the rule of law, with minors in history and film & media, became interested in the fellowship after visiting the Carnegie Endowment during a trip to Washington, D.C., last September. During the visit, he serendipitously spoke at length with his future boss Tom Carothers, director of Carnegie's Democracy, Conflict, and Governance Program. “I am very excited to be working with leading scholars of democratic recessions in such a critical time for our country and the world at large,” he said. “Though I didn't know it when I applied, this work is more urgent than ever, and I’m looking forward to contributing to research that reaches audiences beyond the academy – whether that’s journalists, readers of Emissary, or members of Congress.” Following the fellowship, Feinberg intends to apply for JD-PhD programs in history.

He’s had two off-screen cheating scandals So when he was offered the chance to meet someone the experts nearly matched him with Adrian gushed over how good looking Maxine is and Maxine and Adrian seemed to really get on One of the main struggles Adrian and his match Awhina have had is that their relationship would be long distance but he noted that wouldn’t be the case with Maxine It was all looking a bit of a mess where his marriage was concerned Maxine and Adrian have shared all about where they stand following their MAFS Australia date Adrian and Maxine followed each other on Instagram after their date They were spotted liking each other’s posts and people then questioned if they had become a couple after the show Maxine spoke to Yahoo Lifestyle about the rumours sharing if there was any truth behind them but I haven’t seen him [since filming],” she said it was pretty scary and unnatural for me to have a camera filming me but Adrian seemed comfortable with it which helped I think they matched us because I said I liked dark features I don’t know anything else [about Adrian] because I haven’t watched the show but living with a stranger for three months Adrian added they exchanged messages after the show I think both our dates watching that back made more sense to have been paired considering the circumstances.” For all the latest MAFS news, scandals, gossip and updates – like The Holy Church of MAFS on Facebook Win £20 to spend at some of the UK's biggest retailers The theme hopes to thrust black dandyism back into the international spotlight Jotting down the rules for next year when I inevitably get invited ‘I made it very known I hated it’ Raegan and Iain call Montana’s daughter their niece She set up the page for people to send her money Students have just over two weeks to make their nominations Click here for Greater Long Island newsletters.

While girls usually get a bad rep for this kind of thing, this year among the Married at First Sight Australia cast we're looking at travelling the world together." Now Billy has spoken out and thanked Eliot and Adrian for the "advertisement" but has said he "couldn't care less" On the MAFS Funny podcast hosted by MAFS Australia's Lauren Dunn Billy was asked what he thought of Eliot and Adrian "trolling" him and Dave on TikTok He responded: "I couldn't care less I think Eliot's like 35 or something.. Like if you want to go to 'TikTok war' I'm sorry but I can't be assed with that." I'm doing these PAs [public appearances] and they're at home in their bedrooms still making TikToks." "It's funny 'cause I actually saw Eliot in the airport Little Miss Zip Mouth then weren't you?" He added the comments under the podcast clip are all saying Eliot's TikToks are "hilarious" One said: "Omg I am cringing for this! Another wrote: "Eliot is so funny" And a third said: "They won’t go to TikTok war cause Eliot would wipe the floor and walk away smiling." Eliot has responded to Billy's comments via TikToks The first he posted was of all the positive comments towards him and the second was a skit he made with Jamie He and Jamie are at an airport with someone - supposed to be Billy - behind the camera hiding and secretly smash talking Eliot before running off when they spotted him Dave recently shared his response to Jamie and Eliot's new relationship Dave was asked what he thought of the new couple He said: "Honestly I don't have any thoughts on it I highly doubt she's going to sleep with three cast members from this year's season "I think it's just an Instagram/TikTok thing or whatever they're doing Love Island Events See more More from Married At First Sight
