The 25-year-old grinned at the camera saying: “The whole of this hotel is just steeped in history and character.” Taking a spanning shot of marble busts, warm coloured sofas and walls full of oil painting, she says: ‘’I'm in the drawing room and its so beautifully decorated.” Early morning mist and low cloud creates patches of light, as the sun begins to shine through, over the Royal Crescent in the city of Bath(Image: PA)Ruby also visited Royal Victoria park. Bordered by blossom trees Ruby tells her vlog: “Spring is the season of Jane Austen. Like Spring is the season, the regency period of the Georgians. She added: “Spring was definitely the best season to visit Bath. There were just so many green spaces so many gardens, so many flower beds- that Bath seemed to come alive.” For Ruby, the UNESCO World Heritage Site and preserved golden-coloured Bath stone was one of her biggest takeaways. She said: “I felt like every corner you turned round there was something new - there was a wonderful Georgian building just waiting there for you.” The Youtuber also took a day trip to Lacock - home to many famous filming locations. She said the village was full of “such beautiful cottages”. Showing a grand, domineering home she said: “This house ahead is the house where Professor Slughorn stayed …like the muggle house when he was hiding.” The historic and well preserved village of Lacock, in Wiltshire, is popular tourist stop.Lacock was also used to shoot scenes in the 2005 Pride and Prejudice’s “Merseyside”. She also took a trip to Lacock Abbey, saying: “Wow we can’t even see the abbey yet and I’m impressed”, adding that the flocks of sheep and rolling fields made the locale feel “very atmospheric.” Explaining that some Harry Potter scenes were filmed in the cloisters, she said the Abbey has “such a rich history”. She also visited the museum of astronomy and expressed her excitement at spotting an orrery, which she said she loves because they use clockwork. Orreries are typically driven by a clockwork mechanism with a globe representing the Sun at the centre, and with a planet at the end of each of a series of arms.

A tip that launched a drug investigation for Millcreek Township police led various law enforcement agencies to a west Erie warehouse on March 10 where investigators said they found evidence of an extensive clandestine lab suspected of manufacturing an illicit drug known as bath salts About 20 pounds of the suspected drug were in various stages of production and if all those suspected drugs hit the street their estimated value would be close to $2 million Millcreek police have now charged four people in the investigation believed to involve the largest suspected clandestine drug making laboratory found in the Erie region since a number of large-scale methamphetamine-making labs were taken down by law enforcement in the late 1990s and early 2000s Adam D. Hilyer, 38 the same day authorities from several agencies served a search warrant on a warehouse at 1951 Grove Drive and found the suspected lab Hilyer remained jailed May 5 on charges including felony counts of manufacture delivery or possession with intent to manufacture or deliver as well as causing a catastrophe theft and possession of a firearm prohibited Hilyer is scheduled to appear in court for his preliminary hearing on May 15 Three other people were charged in the investigation on May 1 and were arraigned May 2 was arraigned on one felony count each of manufacture delivery or possession with intent to manufacture or deliver conspiracy and criminal use of a communication facility were arraigned on charges including a felony count of criminal use of a communication facility and two felony counts each of manufacture delivery or possession with intent to manufacture or deliver and conspiracy Quiggle and Vining were not listed on their criminal docket sheets May 5 Millcreek police told the Erie Times-News in March that the investigation was launched in September when township police received a tip through a federal agency Investigators learned that suspected drug manufacturing was taking place and the probe led them to the warehouse on Grove Drive Investigators noted in the criminal complaint against Hilyer that the area where the warehouse sits is considered a drug-free zone because of its close proximity to Harding Elementary School on Lincoln Avenue More: Titusville man charged after state agents, local police say they seize suspected meth Millcreek police said they served a search warrant on the warehouse March 10 along with members of the Erie County District Attorney's Drug Task Force; Pennsylvania State Police vice detectives and members of the agency's Special Emergency Response Team and Clandestine Laboratory Response Team; and agents with the Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General's Bureau of Narcotics Investigation and Drug Control according to information in Hilyer's criminal complaint were a large amount of suspected bath salts along with containers containing suspected precursors and products in the process of manufacturing bath salts suspected drug paraphernalia and three guns one of which was found to have been stolen Detectives wrote in the affidavit filed with Vining's criminal complaint that as they were awaiting others to arrive for the March 10 search they encountered Vining and stopped her vehicle as she attempted to leave the area of the warehouse They said Vining eventually admitted she was at the warehouse to meet with Hilyer to purchase bath salts and she was found with a small amount of the drug Bath salts, the drug the suspects are accused of conspiring to make, are stimulants from the synthetic cathinone class of drugs.

The aftermath of the release of Deafheaven’s Sunbather was truly an interesting time and it certainly heralded the coming of many bands that would explore that particular sound: atmospheric black metal mixed with post-rock shoegaze and anything else bands would pick and choose there was a deluge of trend hoppers and wave riders This project has been going for almost as long as the aforementioned Deafheaven They started as an anonymous project that claimed to be from China for whatever reason and by the release of their sophomore and most well known record Moonlover the jig was up aka Nameless revealed the project was indeed from the US (Minot North Dakota to be precise) and expanded Ghost Bath into an actual performing band I wanted to quickly get over the band’s weird history because this is actually the first time I’ve actually sat down to listen to their music I knew of the whole “pretending to be Chinese” bit the frequent comparisons to Deafheaven and being one of those love or hate bands The band has come back with a new album titled Rose Thorn Necklace Despite being familiar with the lore and going in expecting post-black metal or blackgaze this record actually surprised me in a lot of ways this record is way more metallic and fast than even the last Deafheaven record was; it’s also way more depressive and dejected in tone too this band sounds nothing like Deafheaven on this new album and since I’ve still been listening to Lonely People With Power the differences and deviations are way more obvious to me The album opens with “Grotesque Display,” a somber instrumental piece composed of blaring synths followed by a solitary melancholic piano so from the get-go the band lulls you into a sense of utter despair What follows is the title track and this is where I felt as if the rug had been pulled from under my feet given my own preconceptions about this band The opening of the track has a more gothic vibe than the usual shoegaze and post-rock influence of this style which then violently morphs into pure depressive black metal while maintaining the initial goth-tinged melodies follows this format of quiet and loud dynamics: either a strong all the while maintaining a very stark sense of melody and a perpetually dour and dejected mood While I do think Ghost Bath’s style falls into the nebulous “post-black metal” label and there are parts that do have a shoegaze influence the various melodic tendencies and influences on the record have more in common with gothic rock and post-punk particularly in how the synths are used for both textures and as melodic leads They go beyond even the realms of black metal altogether; the song “Vodka Butterfly” in particular has what I can only describe as an electro breakdown complete with a synthesized electronica beat and stabbing synths given how the project leans heavily into very depressive subject matter it makes sense that the music has gothic overtones and that significantly enhances the more metallic leanings When the band locks in and delves into pure aggression the focus is on the riffs being as hard-hitting as possible while maintaining a very apparent melodicism that keeps the record in the realm of black metal this album and Ghost Bath as a whole surprised me; I genuinely didn’t expect a post-black metal record to completely break away from shoegaze and take a wild detour into gothic and electronic directions while simultaneously experimenting with those aforementioned genre detours and a relentlessly depressive mood On those grounds this record gets a recommendation for me I also felt a bit overwhelmed and tired by the end and not because of the album’s themes and atmosphere The music is genuinely impressive but at some points I felt that so much was happening all at once especially during the middle section of the album considering the compact song lengths and how the songwriting and arrangements are done in a way where the music doesn’t overstay its welcome that feeling of being overwhelmed is kinda intensified but one that I may need to acclimate to in the near future Rose Thorn Necklace released May 9 through Nuclear Blast Records A guy that takes things simultaneously way too seriously and not seriously enough.

short in the 90s colossal alligators… there are plenty of ways to meet a grizzly end Such mortal perils made it the perfect spawning ground for a nihilistic scuzzy new strain of metal in the early 90s But while Eyehategod, Crowbar and Soilent Green helped turn New Orleans into the world’s sludge metal capital arguably the most groundbreaking band to emerge from that scene came from the backwaters of the Bayou State “When you’ve got the barrel of a gun pointed at you by God with hurricanes being thrown at you every year people don’t worry anymore,” Acid Bath singer Dax Riggs says today their lyrics painting vivid narratives of mania madness and death with psychedelic imagery and they left chaos and controversy in their wake They released just two albums during their six-year existence before tragedy cut their career short in 1997 For the next 27 years, they remained the great lost Louisiana band, beloved by underground metal connoisseurs – including Slipknot’s Corey Taylor – but little known by the wider world the line-up for the third edition of millennial metal megafest Sick New World was announced Among the many bands on the bill were Acid Bath Even amid a line-up that included Metallica and Linkin Park it was their presence that generated the most vocal excitement online we’d only really do well in Louisiana and the South We’d go to New York City… there’d be 10 people there.” Sign up below to get the latest from Metal Hammer “You’d think it would have taken a rest when we put the band to sleep,” Dax marvels I still get people telling me we recorded their favourite albums [Adult actress] Stormy Daniels even has our lyrics tattooed on her It’s a common misconception that Acid Bath took their band name from John Haigh nicknamed ‘The Acid Bath Murderer’ after killing six people and dissolving their bodies in sulphuric acid in 1940s Britain The truth is more mundane: they nicked it from a local band who had just split up “Plus we took a lot of acid,” admits Sammy They formed in 1991 from a pair of local groups: Dark Karnival (Sammy and bassist Audie Pitre) and Golgotha (Dax guitarist Mike Sanchez and drummer Jimmy Kyle) They’d all grown up in various small towns an hour or two’s drive away from New Orleans itself – Houma “It felt like we were the only people making any kind of extreme music where we were from,” Dax says “We were outside it all in our creation We had room to grow the way we were supposed to.” Acid Bath knew they had to break into the New Orleans scene They would drive out to the city on a Friday and stay there all weekend playing late-night showcases where they might not go onstage until 3am Soon they were packing out the places they played and befriending members of Crowbar and Eyehategod Word eventually reached Roadrunner Records in New York who sent a representative to Louisiana to see Acid Bath play “Word got out and the fans all went berserk,” Dax recalls “They completely destroyed the bar we were playing and broke a waitress’s leg but Acid Bath found a home with underground label Rotten Records they headed to Side One studio in Metairie it plumbed the darkness under the surface of the Louisiana swamps Bad-trip songs such as Jezebel and The Bones Of Baby Dolls were filled with images of death “There’s a very dark vibe here,” Sammy says “The first settlers used it as a penal colony Southern Louisiana is where they’d stick their murderers When The Kite String Pops would subsequently become a cult classic but at the time it caused ripples rather than waves Much of the attention it did get centred on the artwork – a painting by infamous serial killer John Wayne Gacy It tied in perfectly with the band’s overall vibe “I get that we had serial killer references and it made sense on the surface but to associate it with a particular killer or incident wasn’t a good thing for us.” The minor controversy surrounding the cover didn’t do them any harm and the chaos of their New Orleans gig continued on the road They were denied entry to Canada at the border after turning up without documentation or visas (“Then they found something they weren’t happy with on our bus,” says Sammy “Let’s leave it at that.”) “I didn’t get brain damage… I think,” he jokes where they were supported by a local band wearing weird masks “It was still very early days for them,” says Sammy “At the time they’d got a different singer – Corey hadn’t joined yet Clown was actually the promoter of that show they still had a lot of that theatricality and Clown was there beating these beer kegs it’s these fucking guys!’” It was a more straightahead record than the debut as did the provocative cover art - this time a painting by controversial euthanasia proponent Jack Kevorkian An increased melodic focus hinted at bigger commercial ambitions though not everyone saw it that way - sales of the debut album in the UK had been so poor that Roadrunner who licensed the album on this side of the Atlantic just two months after Paegan Terrorism Tactics was released bassist Audie Pitre was killed in a car accident He had been out with his parents and younger brother when their car was hit by a drunk driver Audie and his parents died from their injuries The rest of the band found out when they met to go and see Cannibal Corpse play a local show our manager took us aside and told us we needed to talk,” says Sammy “Audie’s girlfriend called us and she just said He’s dead.’ I hung up and told the rest of the guys I’d been friends with him since we were teenagers.” while Dax sags as he talks about Audie’s loss “Audie’s the guy who made it all possible,” says the singer “He was a very kind person and so creative too – ideas poured out of him all the time He was like a brother to me and it felt like a hopeless situation without him.” The members of Acid Bath served as pallbearers at his funeral and they briefly tried to keep the band going was recruited to play bass and the band booked some shows But the grief at his passing proved too much and the rest of Acid Bath found it difficult to play the songs without their friend A disastrous gig with Crowbar at Shreveport Municipal Auditorium on April 25 the outcome was the same – Acid Bath were done After Acid Bath’s split, the surviving bandmembers stayed in touch but went in different directions musically. Sammy joined Crowbar for a four-year stint before devoting his attention to his black metal side-project Dax and guitarist Mike Sanchez initially played together in Agents Of Oblivion Dax subsequently formed the bluesy Deadboy & The Elephantmen before going solo with 2007’s We Sing Of Only Blood Or Love only to drop off the map entirely after the release of 2010’s Say Goodnight To The World while rumours circulated that Corey had been approached to front an Acid Bath reunion in Dax’s absence it was another death that partly inspired their reunion who had played drums in Sammy and Audie’s earlier band and joined Acid Bath as keyboard player for the last few months of their existence Sammy was asked by the people behind Sick New World if he’d consider reuniting Acid Bath for the 2025 edition of the festival “It just put everything in perspective,” Sammy admits we should do it now while everyone is still around.’” The Acid Bath reunion was announced in October 2024 plus Goatwhore’s Zack Simmons replacing original drummer Jimmy Kyle and Dax’s former Agents Of Oblivion bandmate Alex Bergeron on bass Although Sick New World was later cancelled Acid Bath’s second coming couldn’t be stopped More reunion dates were announced at US festivals Sonic Temple as well as a pair of hometown headline shows at the Fillmore in New Orleans in April Two subsequent shows were announced at the 4,000-capacity Hollywood Palladium in LA in August - the biggest gigs of their career Acid Bath held their first practice in almost 30 years “We didn’t have any of the ‘Oh We just started playing [Paegan Terrorism Tactics’ opener] Paegan Love Song and burned through it None of us had said about playing that song “I kinda just went berserk and decided to go for it,” Dax says with a grin It’s not as painful as every moment was [after Audie passed].” Having sold out every show they’ve announced so far Acid Bath are already bigger now than they were first time around But they’re non-committal when it comes to recording a new album “I’m not opposed to creating music with Mike and Dax again – I’d love that But I’d be very hesitant to call it Acid Bath,” says Sammy “But when you’re jamming together eventually you get bored of just doing the same songs over and over That’s when you end up writing new music.” but I do think it’d need to be done as something else,” Dax agrees “My dream of the third Acid Bath record was a very doomy trip It’s like a giant psychedelic weapon.” The second coming of Acid Bath officially begins on April 25 with the first of those two hometown shows (the second follows on April 30) Whether this reunion is a belated victory lap or the start of something bigger remains to be seen this band from the wilds of Louisiana are finally and deservedly getting their time in the sun Welcome To Rockville and Louder Than Life this year Rich has never met a feature he didn't fancy which is just as well when it comes to covering everything rock be it legendary events like Rock In Rio or Clash Of The Titans or seeking out exciting new bands like Nine Treasures "The universe is not fair like that."

quantum systems that describe many dissipative processes in physical Trapped ions present an ideal platform for simulating the quantum dynamics of such models by accessing both the high-quality internal qubit states and the motional modes of the ions for spins and bosons We demonstrate a fully programmable method to simulate dissipative dynamics of spin-boson models using a chain of trapped ions where the initial temperature and the spectral densities of the boson bath are engineered by controlling the state of the motional modes and their coupling with qubit states Our method provides a versatile and precise experimental tool for studying open quantum systems which can lead to new quantum simulation approaches that reach beyond classically tractable limit The spin-boson model describes a spin coupled to a continuous bath of quantum harmonic oscillators where J(ω) is the spectral density of the bath $\hat{a}(\omega )$ is the annihilation operator of the bath oscillator at frequency ω and ${\hat{H}}_{S}=\frac{\epsilon }{2}{\hat{\sigma }}_{Z}+\frac{\Delta }{2}{\hat{\sigma }}_{X}$ and ${\hat{H}}_{B}=\int_{0}^{\infty }d\omega \omega {\hat{a}}^{{{\dagger}} }(\omega )\hat{a}(\omega )$ are the Hamiltonian of the spin and the bath ϵ and Δ are the detuning and coupling strength between the spin states We assume that the spin is initially in the $| 0\rangle$ state (or the “donor” state in the energy transfer model) and the time evolution of the Hamiltonian induces population transfer to the $| 1 \rangle$ state (or the “acceptor” state) Each bath oscillator of frequency ω is in the thermal state of average phonon number $\bar{n}(\omega )=1/({e}^{\beta \omega }-1)$ where β is the inverse of the temperature (kB = 1 for simplicity) we consider a spin coupled to several oscillators subject to constant dephasing ("dephased” spin-oscillator model) This discrete oscillator model is described by the Hamiltonian this bath of dephased oscillators is assigned a spectral density composed of Lorentzian peaks where we assume that each oscillator is initially in the thermal state with average phonon number $\bar{n}({\nu }_{l})$ For the case of biased spin-boson models in the stronger coupling regime (ϵ ≠ 0 the dynamics of the dephased spin-oscillator model we simulate can deviate significantly from the traditional spin-boson model The dephased oscillator model developed in this work expands the ability to simulate a broader set of bath models not experimentally accessible before The ions are confined in a micro-fabricated surface trap The spin states are encoded as the hyperfine clock states (qubit states) and the bosonic bath modes are encoded as the collective radial motional modes of the ion chain We strategically use the center ion and the three symmetric modes (except for the center-of-mass mode as shown in the upper left corner) in the experiment to minimize cross-mode couplings (see Methods) The laser frequencies for the SDK operations are determined by the frequency difference between the two Raman beams and are depicted by the red and blue lines on the frequency axis detuned by δm from the mode frequency ωm with the color gradients indicating the random frequencies used to implement the decoherence simulation Details of the procedure is described in Methods a Dynamics of the coherent spin-single oscillator model

the value when the populations are averaged over 20 and 200 random trials f Lorentzian spectral densities for various target (solid) and fitted (dashed) values of Γ The shaded region represents the expected uncertainty of Γ when averaged over 20 random trials This shows that well-characterized experimental noise can serve as the baseline values for the thermal excitation and dephasing rate in the open quantum system model and thus is not always a bottleneck for the accuracy of our simulations Figure 2 b illustrates the dynamics for various values of Γ between 0 and 0.4Δ which exhibit a crossover from underdamped to overdamped dynamics as Γ is increased (critical damping condition at Γ ≈ 0.18Δ) As the damping is increased beyond the critical point the beat-note that signifies the excitation transfer from the spin to boson back to spin is suppressed and there is a monotonic decrease in the oscillation of the donor population in the overdamped regime We notice a π phase flip in the oscillation of the donor population in the beat-note in the underdamped case signified by the phase difference between the underdamped and overdamped cases at t ≈ 2π/Δ × 10 We further simulate the spin-boson models inspired by Leggett et al.1 The spectral density of the bath is given by a Spectral densities of the Leggett’s model. Dot-dashed curves are the sub-Ohmic (s = 0.5), Ohmic (s = 1.0), and super-Ohmic (s = 2.0) spectral densities described by Eq. (4) (A = 0.1 Solid curves are the spectral densities simulated in our experiments using two motional modes These spectral densities are designed to match the dot-dashed curves near ω = Δ Insets compare the solid and dot-dashed curves within the interval ω ∈ [0.85Δ (b)(c)(d) Dynamics of the spin-boson model for s = 0.5 The solid curves represent the theoretical predictions of the spin-boson models with spectral densities given by the solid curves in (a) The red dashed curves are expected results derived from numerical simulations of the density matrix of the qubit and motional modes subject to control operations and hardware noise Circles denote experimental data and error bars indicate the standard deviation over 60 respectively (More trials were needed to overcome the shot noise in (b) when the donor population is near 0.5) Finally, we simulate the VAET model24 with nonzero energy detuning ϵ between the spin states Here we set the spin parameters as Δ = 30cm−1 and ϵ = 100cm−1 In the absence of coupling to a vibrational mode (κ = 0cm−1) energy transfer between the detuned spin states is suppressed; however the energy transfer can be activated if the mode frequency ν meets the resonance condition (single mode’s index l = 1 omitted) b Time evolution of the donor-state population for coherent VAET models with κ = 30 cm−1 Solid and dashed curves depict theoretical predictions of the ideal target and the noise-aware model Circles represent experimental data and error bars are the standard deviation over 100 repetitions bath temperature is fixed at 0 K ($\bar{n}=0$) and ν is varied ν is fixed to the resonant value 104 cm−1 and two temperatures 0 K and 300 K c Time evolution of the donor-state population for dissipative VAET models with ν = 104 cm−1 and Γ = 10cm−1 at 0 K Solid and dot-dashed curves depict theoretical predictions of the dephased spin-oscillator model and the damped spin-oscillator model error bars indicate the standard deviation over 100 repetitions error bars indicate the standard deviation over 20 trials each trial performed with a randomly drawn set of parameters and repeated 100 times the dephased and damped models’ dynamics deviate the dephased model does not extract energy from the spin-oscillator system so the donor population will not decay towards zero even after a long time evolution when coupled to a single-oscillator bath This example demonstrates that our method provides the ability to simulate a wider range of dissipative channels in the study of open system dynamics Developing various control methods over these quantum systems to study important physical biological and material systems of critical interest will open up a new computational framework in science the long-chain trapped-ion systems can provide a versatile platform for simulating dynamics of complex open quantum systems Novel and efficient methods to characterize the boson modes or spin-boson correlations are highly desired The experiments are performed using a linear chain of 171Yb+ ions. We use the hyperfine energy levels $| 0 \rangle \equiv | F=1;{m}_{F}=0 \rangle$ and $| 1 \rangle \equiv | F=0;{m}_{F}=0 \rangle$ in the 2S1/2 manifold as the qubit states (spin states). The collective radial motional modes of the ion chain are used to represent the bosonic bath modes (see Fig. 6a). a Simplified energy levels of the 171Yb+ ion and the laser pulses used for implementing the on-resonance spin-dependent kick (SDK) operation The global beam consists of two tones driving the blue sideband (BSB) and red sideband (RSB) transitions accompanied by the individual beam (green arrow) b Visualization of the motional-state evolution in phase space when a SDK operation of duration τ is applied where the qubit is in the eigenstate of the operator ${\hat{\sigma }}_{{\phi }_{s}}\equiv {\hat{\sigma }}_{+}{e}^{i{\phi }_{s}}+{\hat{\sigma }}_{-}{e}^{-i{\phi }_{s}}$ ${\hat{\sigma }}_{+}$ (${\hat{\sigma }}_{-}$) is the raising (lowering) operator of the qubit ϕs (ϕm) is the spin (motion) phase of the laser beams $\tilde{\Omega }$ is the Rabi frequency of the sideband transition c Normalized eigenvector components of each motional mode which represent the relative ion-mode coupling strengths Motional-mode frequencies are shown in the lower right corner of each panel the qubit-state population is accessed via the state-dependent detection technique The Lamb-Dicke parameters of the 7 motional modes range from 0.073 to 0.079 due to their different frequencies. The relative ion-mode coupling strengths (normalized eigenvector components) are shown in Fig. 6c We strategically use the center ion of a 7-ion chain as it exhibits negligible coupling to the 2nd This arrangement maximizes the effective spacing between the motional-mode frequencies and therefore suppresses cross-mode coupling (driving modes that are not targeted by the SDK operation) The evolution of ${\hat{H}}_{D}$ in Eq. (2) is mapped to a sequence of single-qubit rotations and SDK operations via Trotterization After conjugating ${\hat{H}}_{D}$ with a Hadamard gate on the qubit the Hamiltonian can be described in the interaction picture as Heating and dephasing are used to tune the initial temperature and spectral linewidth of the bath ‘H’ represents the Hadamard gate on the qubit. ‘Kick (heat)’ represents the SDK operations with random ϕm that prepare the thermal state on average. ‘SQ’ and ‘Kick (coh/dep)’ represent the single-qubit rotations and SDK operations that simulate the first and second terms in Eq.

She added that after her daughter was injured the district did not immediately notify her or her husband or inform them of the full extent of their daughter’s injuries The girl’s mom said she was contacted at 10:30 a.m and told her daughter had a bloody nose and school officials could not stop the bleeding The mom asked the principal to call back in 10 minutes and was told that school staff “pretty much had (the bleeding) under control but it hadn't stopped yet,” and the principal offered to give the girl a ride home The girl's mom claims school officials were reluctant to allow her to speak with her daughter and that she had to ask twice before her daughter was put on the phone she said she realized her daughter had more than a bloody nose because her nose was swollen did not provide any information on what happened to cause the injuries Her daughter complained of pain in her head on the ride home and her mom was able to piece together details of what happened when other parents called to check on her daughter The next day the girl’s mom and dad met with Hodges was aware of an incident but did not know the specifics The girl was later treated for a concussion and problems with her inner ear The complaint was initially filed in the Eastern District of Michigan and transferred to the Western District where the school district and the students' families live Jessica Williams is no stranger to a good scent memory Like many of us who grew up rushing to Bath & Body Works with allowance money in hand she still vividly remembers her cucumber melon era “You couldn’t tell me nothing,” she tells ESSENCE Glitter all over my lids and that anti-bac gel with the little beads Now, the actress, comedian, and self-care advocate is partnering with Bath & Body Works in a full-circle moment—this time as the face of the brand’s Aromatherapy line and campaign.

letting her 4-year-old drown after a crash According to the Stanislaus County District Attorney 26-year-old Juliette Marie Acosta was allegedly driving a car with a blood alcohol content nearly three times the legal limit of .08% when she crashed into an irrigation pond the night of March 8 Authorities said her 4-year-old daughter, Reagan Herrin Acosta was in the car with her at the time of the crash The district attorney said the charging document states Acosta left her partially submerged car while her daughter remained trapped inside and didn’t try to help her child Acosta was found taking a bath while her daughter “remained in peril at the crash scene and causing the death of a vulnerable victim.” The Independent reports that Acosta’s attorney is disputing his client was taking a bath claiming the timeline doesn’t add up He told the media outlet prosecutors are trying to “inflame the public’s anger.” Acosta faces felony charges including murder driving under the influence causing injury permitting a child to suffer under circumstances likely to cause great bodily injury or death Acosta faces a maximum sentence of life in prison GateDrop.com Kay de Wolf extended his MX2 championship lead with a gritty second overall at Águeda as Liam Everts endured a weekend to forget in brutal mud-soaked conditions Nestaan Husqvarna Factory Racing weathered the storm – quite literally – at Round 7 of the 2025 FIM Motocross World Championship in Águeda Celebrating 40 years since hosting its first ever MXGP event the iconic Crossódromo Internacional de Águeda was hit by torrential rain on Sunday morning flooding the 1630-metre hard-pack track and forcing a delayed start every outing turned into a gruelling battle of attrition against deep ruts and axle-deep mud that tested both riders and machines to the absolute limit Following a solid fourth in Saturday’s qualifying Kay de Wolf headed into Sunday with confidence – and proved once again why he’s wearing the Red Plate the Dutchman was quickly into podium contention before a mid-race crash and goggle issues slowed his charge muscling into second with just two laps remaining only to be edged out by Simon Längenfelder in the closing moments De Wolf crossed the line in third after a punishing Race Two saw a more measured ride from the Husqvarna star he posted the fastest lap of the race and kept the pressure on at the front A small crash late on threatened to derail his charge again but he regrouped swiftly and held off late advances from Längenfelder to secure another third-place finish – and with it de Wolf maintains his grip on the MX2 championship lead It was a far more difficult weekend for Liam Everts who arrived in Portugal looking to replicate his winning form at the Portuguese venue from 2024 After grabbing the Holeshot and the early lead in Race One disaster struck with a first-lap crash that jammed his front brake with further mistakes leaving him 11th at the flag an early fall saw him stuck on the side of the track in the deep mud forcing an early retirement and capping off a frustrating weekend for the Belgian racer Nestaan Husqvarna Factory Racing leaves Portugal with the MX2 championship lead intact and momentum building behind de Wolf The team now looks ahead to Round 8 in Lugo “That was one of the toughest GPs we’ve had so far this season The conditions were just brutal – deep mud I did my best to stay consistent and ride smart In the first moto I had a crash and some goggle problems but I kept pushing and managed to get back to third The second moto was similar – I had to dig deep after a small crash but I stayed focused and held onto another podium I’m happy to come away with second overall and keep the red plate I felt really good coming to Portugal – I’ve had great memories here – and grabbing the Holeshot in the first moto was a good start The second moto was short-lived with a crash I’ll regroup with the team and come back stronger in Spain.” Check out how to watch Edinburgh v Bath in the Challenge Cup semi-finals Bath are aiming to bring their Premiership form to the continental table as the Challenge Cup semi-finals

living in a shoebox real estate is precious in every single little space even the bathroom and shower (which are often also quite small) who became alarmed not only by the bath and body products piling up and cluttering her space but also by the amount of plastic they represented overlooked problem in beauty,” Raffiuddin tells YourCityWithIN.com “The waste we don’t see.” She wanted to find a way to combat the billions of single-use plastics and millions of wasted litres of water that come from creating beauty products and even fight food waste by incorporating discarded materials into products “Everything we create either saves water or upcycles food waste and still works just as well than the top global brands,” says Raffiuddin She’s actually been working in beauty for over 10 years but has also worked across many industries doing everything from working at startups to leading global campaigns nothing truly prepares you for entrepreneurship and forces you to grow in ways no job ever could The only thing that keeps you grounded is the why it’s our mission and the people we serve every customer who tells us they feel proud to make the switch even on the hardest days,” says Raffiuddin from product innovation to marketer to chief executive officer But I wouldn’t trade it for anything Building something that genuinely helps people feel good and do good at the same time it’s a dream that’s been nearly three years in the making Over 120 formulas were tested just to make Glow Green’s first products a reality or upcycles food waste,” says Raffiuddin Raffiuddin basically set out to do just that creating products with the water removed that could be rehydrated at home “The machines and systems needed to develop powder-based formulas that lather and feel amazing on the skin just don’t exist in most beauty labs and most manufacturers didn’t know how to do it or flat-out didn’t believe in our idea,” says Raffiuddin Water wasn’t the only thing she wanted to remove from Glow Green Co committing to avoiding over 1,700 ingredients presenting significant formulation challenges And what about all that wasteful packaging that inspired her in the first place “Most body wash bottles are narrow and nearly impossible to reuse or refill So we custom-designed our own mold,” she says “We were turned away by supplier after supplier.” All those challenges were worth it in
