But the Writers Guild of America West issued an advisory Wednesday forbidding its members from working on the film. The guild cited Emmett’s failure to pay writers for work on past projects. Since 2020, Emmett has been on the guild’s “strike list.” Hollywood Inc. The ex-fiance of reality star Lala Kent faces the collapse of his company amid a trail of lawsuits civil fraud charges and allegations of abusive behavior “Emmett has a long history of refusing to honor obligations to writers and the Guild has filed numerous arbitration claims against companies owned by Emmett over the last decade,” the WGA said in the email adding that guild rules “prohibit members from working for or selling literary material to companies or individuals who are on the Strike/Unfair List.” Scorsese and his representatives were not immediately available for comment and we have every intention to settle this dispute in the coming weeks,” Emmett told The Times “Our representatives will be reaching out to the Writers Guild so we can put this matter from six years ago behind us.” told The Times: “Emmett has stated multiple times in the past that he would pay and never has.” Emmett was the subject of a 2022 Times investigation and subsequent Hulu documentary that surfaced allegations of abuse against women and assistants as well as mistreatment of assistants and business partners The “Wall of White” project draws on a 2010 book as well as a 2021 documentary “Buried: The 1982 Alpine Meadows Avalanche.” After a heavy spring storm in Northern California in 1982 tons of snow roared down a mountain and into a village and rescuers pulled one woman from the wreckage Book author Jennifer Woodlief also is listed as a screenwriter Emmett has been working on the project for about a year and introduced the Netflix documentary to Scorsese, according to a March article in the Tahoe Guide, which touted how the local tragedy was being adapted into a feature film by Convergence and Scorsese. The article cited a news release from Realization Films, a Northern California firm that includes the “Buried” documentary producers, Jared Drake and Steven Siig, as well as executive producer Mark Gogolewski. All have signed on to the Emmett project, according to their website. The news reports said the movie was expected to go into production this year. No director has been attached. Whether he’s going by Emmett or Ives, the controversial producer and former ‘Vanderpump Rules’ star continues to confront allegations of not paying his bills on time and presiding over chaotic film sets. Emmett formed Convergence Entertainment Group in early 2022 with Miami financier Joel Cohen, according to Nevada business records. By that time, Emmett’s longtime shingle Emmett/Furla Oasis had collapsed under the weight of millions of dollars of debt to former financiers and co-producers. The Writers Guild of America West won a $541,464 judgment against the now-defunct Emmett/Furla Oasis company in 2021 after it filed a claim on behalf of writers who alleged they were shortchanged for their work in 2019 on a television series that was supposed to feature former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger. But the actor backed out and the show was never made. With interest, the debt now tops $700,000, the guild says. Last summer, the union added another firm that was created to buy source material for Emmett projects, 50 Feet Movies, to its strike list. “We want to make sure that every WGA member knows about this project, and knows that they cannot work for Convergence Entertainment Group ... in connection with this project or any other project,” Azari said in an interview. “They cannot work for Randall Emmett.” the controversial producer and former ‘Vanderpump Rules’ star continues to confront allegations of not paying his bills on time and presiding over chaotic film sets Despite the demise of his former production company Emmett continues to to line up producing partners and big-name stars to make his small-budget films His association with Scorsese dates back more than a decade. In 2013, Emmett became an unlikely savior for Scorsese, who had tried for 15 years to secure financing for a project about Portuguese Jesuit priests in the 17th century investigating Catholic persecution None of the major studios would touch “Silence,” but after a call from Scorsese’s agent Emmett and his then-partner George Furla reportedly raised half of the $46.5-million budget for the film featuring Adam Driver and Andrew Garfield. In exchange for backing “Silence,” Emmett earned a producing credit — and eventually an Oscar nomination — on Scorsese’s next film, the 2019 mob epic “The Irishman” for Netflix.

Valentin before Ode’ Osbourne snapped a three-fight skid with a second-round stoppage win over newcomer Luis Gurule Brad Tavares followed by out-hustling Gerald Meerschaert tying Michael Bisping for the most wins in UFC middleweight division history with Road to UFC bantamweight winner ChangHo Lee turning in an emphatic second-round stoppage win over Cortavious Romious in the next fight mauling Joanderson Brito on the canvas to register his second straight win before Lerone Murphy racked up his eighth straight UFC win out-hustling Josh Emmett in the main event It was an entertaining night of fights in Las Vegas and we have the details on what transpired for your review below Prelim Results | Official Scorecards | Watch Replay on ESPN+ Lerone Murphy ran his winning streak to eight delivering a patient and varied offensive effort to out-work Top 10 mainstay Josh Emmett in the finale of this weekend’s fight card at the UFC APEX The Manchester Top Team leader mixed things up well throughout, changing stances, targeting all levels, and attacking with a multitude of strikes to keep the Sacramento powerhouse from getting into a rhythm and having opportunities to unleash his right hand too often including a high amplitude slam in the second Murphy’s movement and output allowed him to dictate the terms of engagement more often than naught Pat Sabatini turned in a dominant effort in the co-main event needing a single takedown in each round to register more than 13 minutes of ground control time while collecting his second straight win The Philadelphia native put Joanderson Brito on the canvas early and without much resistance in every round, quickly working to dominant positions before spending the remainder of the frame roughing up the Brazilian and trying to find openings for submissions this was one-way traffic the whole way through and a stellar effort for Sabatini That’s now consecutive victories for the soft-spoken Marquez MMA representative, who said he wants to “climb the mountain, because the top of the mountain has the greatest views,” leaving Michael Bisping speechless. | Prelim Results | Official Scorecards ChangHo Lee has said he wants to be “The South Korean Khabib,” and while he’s still green there were some moments reminiscent of the former lightweight champion in his dominant win over Cortavious Romious on Saturday The Road to UFC Season 2 bantamweight tournament winner took advantage of Romious being overly aggressive in both the first and second rounds using shifts in position to land on top and punish the Dana White’s Contender Series grad Lee unleashed a barrage of elbows that brought about the stoppage Despite having a combined 47 prior UFC appearances Brad Tavares and Gerald Meerschaert had never crossed paths until midway through Saturday’s main card In space, it was all Tavares, with the Xtreme Couture mainstay flashing the snappy boxing that has been his signature through his 15-year career inside the Octagon.  He largely kept Meerschaert off him the Hawaiian did well to keep himself upright and stay out of dangerous positions on the ground with the most prolific submission finisher in middleweight history Ode’ Osbourne won the battle of flyweight DWCS alums between him and UFC freshman Luis Gurule kicking off the finishing sequence with a left-handed snipe The Class of ’19 grad was the quicker and sharper of the two in the striking department from the outset but was put on the canvas and held there for the back half of the opening round.  Back on the feet to open the second, Osbourne countered a naked low kick with a laser-sighted left hand that found Gurule’s chin and sent the recent grad crashing to the canvas in a heap opening the door for the Las Vegas resident to pound out the finish Torrez Finney used his superior wrestling to grind out a victory over Robert Valentin in his promotional debut to kick off Saturday’s main card A three-time winner on Dana White’s Contender Series Finney went back to the approach that drew the ire of the UFC CEO using lifts and top control to control Valentin on the ground and along the fence rarely offering much in the way of meaningful damage.  The compact and heavily muscled middleweight tired as the fight progressed, giving Valentin an opening to score with elbows and punches while being shoved into the fence in the third Check

finishes you'll ever see in his last Octagon appearance, beating Bryce Mitchell by first-round knockout Murphy has yet to suffer a loss in his professional career and enters the fight having won seven consecutive fights He has won each of his past three fights by unanimous decision On Thursday, the PFL will host its first event of 2025, as the welterweights and featherweights debut the new format for the promotion's divisional tournaments Andreas Hale spoke to veteran MMA coach and ESPN analyst Din Thomas to get his perspective on the UFC main event ESPN betting expert Ian Parker adds insight and analysis on the main event and other intriguing bets he likes on the card plus his best bets for Thursday's PFL fight card Editor's note: Responses have been edited for brevity and clarity How Emmett wins: Emmett has fight-altering power. That was evident in his fights against Mitchell, Ricardo Lamas and Michael Johnson He's had some time off for recovery from injury but his people told me that he is feeling better than ever Emmett's team said he will be competing with more physicality than he has in a long time How Murphy wins: Murphy sold me with his performance against Edson Barboza He has great tools at his disposal and he knows when to use them switches stances and understands how to get out of tough situations His speed and versatility should allow him to run laps around Emmett He will fight smart but can be aggressive when necessary Murphy can put on a clinic against Emmett if he puts all of his tools to use The smaller Octagon at the UFC Apex favors Emmett because it will limit Murphy's movement He may be able to corner Murphy and force him to trade punches Odds accurate as of publication. For the most up-to-date odds, visit ESPN BET This should be a fun fight for as long as it lasts this fight ends only one of two ways: either Sabatini gets the submission or Brito gets the knockout And it's more likely that Brito gets it done here We have seen Brito's opponents shoot for a lazy takedown attempt after getting rocked Barbosa to win inside the distance. Although she lost a decision to Miranda Maverick in her second fight in the UFC Barbosa still performed well and showed she belongs in the promotion She is currently the biggest favorite on the card but only slightly favored to win inside the distance Two out of Belbita's five losses have come via submission and considering Barbosa has earned three of her seven wins by submission This should be a showcase fight for Barbosa goes head-to-head with Andrey Koreshkov in the main event at PFL First Round: Welterweights & Featherweights on Thursday night. Photo by Cooper Neill/Getty ImagesWelterweight: Jason Jackson vs Koreshkov has proved to be a devastating striker with fight-ending kicks he needs to keep this fight standing and strike from distance but the biggest disparity is the grappling and wrestling Look for Jackson to use his striking to close the distance on Koreshkov and eventually take the fight to the ground I expect Jackson to outwrestle Koreshkov for the better part of the fight and get the win Khaybulaev to win by submission or decision Khaybulaev returns to the PFL hoping to become a two-time champion because Khaybulaev is undefeated and has shown no weaknesses in his game Unless Kennedy catches him with a flash knockout this will be a dominant performance from Khaybulaev Look for Khaybulaev to close the distance and smother Kennedy for the better part of three rounds After his 11-fight winning streak came to a halt in his last fight Kelly could bounce back with a win over Kim Although Kelly is a slight underdog and is coming off a loss Saturday brought the action inside the Octagon back home to Las Vegas as the UFC APEX played host to a quality Fight Night event headlined by featherweight standouts Josh Emmett and Lerone Murphy Before the 145-pound hopefuls hit the cage to close out the main card a half-dozen preliminary card pairs made the walk setting the table for the next six sets of competitors that followed Following a string of competitive decisions to open the card Ireland’s Rhys McKee collected the first finish — and his first UFC triumph — with a stoppage win over newcomer Daniel Frunza before Dione Barbosa wrapped up the early slate with a first-round submission win over Diana Belbita If you missed any of the action or simply want a refresher on what transpired check out the recaps below and be sure to join us for the main card as well Main Card Results | Official Scorecards | Watch Replay on ESPN+ Dione Barbosa took a minute to get settled in on Saturday night “The Witch” made quick work of Diana Belbita on the ground sinking in a deep arm triangle choke to secure the first-round submission finish scoring with a couple quality overhand rights that caught Barbosa flush as the Brazilian was initially happy to engage on the feet Ontario native felt like the two were going to continue to throw down as Barbosa worked to lock up the submission Rhys McKee finally collected his first UFC victory battering Dana White’s Contender Series grad Daniel Frunza to the point where the newcomer was unable to continue following the opening five minutes “Skeletor” was sharp from the jump dropping him multiple times in the first half of the round.  While the Romanian was able to steady himself and make it to the horn including a slashed lip reminiscent of Robbie Lawler’s upper lip in his epic clash with Rory MacDonald at UFC 189 was deemed too much to allow him to continue fighting Fighting for the first time in over a year Loma Lookboonmee returned and extended her winning streak to four grinding out a hard-fought win over the perpetually game Istela Nunes This was a competitive fight where neither strawweight was truly able to dominate the action, with each having their moments, and the Thai fighter simply doing a little more.  Deadlocked heading into the third, Lookboonmee was the more effective, putting Nunes on the canvas a couple times with trips working from top position while her Brazilian counterpart was unable to work back to her feet Victor Henry and Pedro Falcao got into a fun, scrambly scrap in the middle of Saturday’s prelims, with the former coming away on the happy side of the results The Josh Barnett protege was just a little sharper and a little ahead the whole way through, dropping Falcao in the opening round with a clean right hand hurting him again in the waning moments of the fight when the Contender Series graduate’s gas tank was running on empty.  Each time Falcao had a positive moment like taking Henry to the ground the veteran showed his class by reversing into top position and swiftly reclaiming control of the contest Martin Buday picked up his sixth UFC victory in seven starts on Saturday as short-notice newcomer Uran Satybaldiev gave him all he could handle The burly Slovakian leaned on his experience to get the better of things for much of the contest forcing the undersized Satybaldiev to carry his considerable weight and generally roughing him up in tight To his credit, the newcomer from Kyrgyzstan had his moments wobbling Buday in the third and showing spirit through to the final horn in what feels like a performance to remember for when he makes his sophomore appearance later in the year Talita Alencar opened the action at the UFC APEX by showcasing her world-class top game grinding out a unanimous decision win over Vanessa Demopoulos In all three rounds, the world champion Brazilian jiu jitsu black belt put Demopoulos on the canvas spending prolonged periods working from top position landing sporadic blows and shutting down any attempts her opponent made to chase a submission from underneath.  While there was never a point where Demopoulos was in serious danger of getting finished Alencar was clearly the superior grappler of the two and cooked her on the ground for 15 minutes See How The Judges Scored Every Round Of UFC Fight Night: Emmett vs Murphy Watch Post-Fight Interviews With The Main Card

breaks down the Nebraska's spring game at Memorial Stadium in Lincoln on Saturday Emmett Johnson enters a season as the indisputable go-to option in Nebraska’s backfield He staked his claim to be the primary running back by averaging 86 yards per game over the last three contests of 2024 he changed his mind about entering the transfer portal and suddenly a running back room that was once crowded and veteran-heavy had been whittled down to one player with significant college experience It’s something of a reset for a group that went through a trying NU didn’t always have a complementary ground game for quarterback Dylan Raiola new options under a new offensive coordinator will try to become more of a collective asset “We have a lot of running backs that can do a lot of different things,” Johnson said A lot of younger guys that are coming out of high school but can do both … a lot of speed in the room so that’s what you’re gonna see out there is a great group of guys that are versatile and is willing to do whatever for the team to win.” The question for Johnson is now whether he can be the dynamic runner he was in November and December over an entire season no longer in a timeshare with Dowdell and Rahmir Johnson the past three years have been a gradual build His redshirt junior season could the continuation of a once-overlooked high school recruit's rise Kwinten Ives was buried

Bishop Neumann Jamarion Parker is the other true freshman Mekhi Nelson appeared in one game while redshirting in 2024 he could be a candidate to emerge after development behind the scenes Matt Rhule has sung the praises of Ives for the past two years The redshirt sophomore has spent most of that time on special teams sporadically getting snaps with the offense But with the logjam of veterans in front of him gone Ives has a chance to be a contributor in his third season in scarlet and cream especially without another obvious candidate to spell Johnson Can Nebraska consistently generate explosive plays on the ground The Huskers’ running game was more of a pickup truck than a Ferrari last year and contributed to some of the team’s midseason offensive stagnation and a ground attack that can more frequently relieve the pressure would be a boon to his development north-south runner who could lower his shoulder and power over tacklers on third down His departure left the Huskers looking for a replacement Barthel said after an early-April practice that Ives had impressed in that role could also line up in the backfield when a yard or two is needed » Johnson focused on improving as a receiver and route runner over the offseason trying to get better at playing through contact running through defenders and stiff-arming “I’m still trying to be the best running back in

Kessler Halfway through our first meal at Emmett—in this case, by the third dish–we had to stop and take a beat. Not because Middle Eastern food is novel in this town. And definitely not because Mediterranean is new to us But because we’ve never had the combination done as deliciously as this At Emmett, having an array of confident, complex dishes isn’t the issue. Getting to try most of them is. You can order a la carte, but the four-course, $105 tasting menu is a steal—portions are huge and cover nearly all of the bases. UnmuteAs sophisticated as its food is, Emmett doesn’t take itself so seriously. It’s as buzzy and exciting for a big deal date night as it is for a seven-year-old celebrating her birthday over Shirley Temples and sujuk cappelletti (true story). And it’s as common for the servers to go into detail on Middle Eastern spices as it is for them to joke with boozy guests over a playlist of early-aughts hip hop. During the week, do as the neighbors do and pop in to the bar for cocktails and snacks. But know that come Saturday night, the lights are low, the PA wine is flowing, and canoodling over lamb merguez is the name of the game. The seats fill up, quickly. So plan ahead. Make the reservation. Not because Middle Eastern-meets-Mediterranean food is so original. But in the world of Philly restaurants, Emmett is.  There are a lot of restaurants in Fishtown Alison worked on food and lifestyle brands before joining The Infatuation She’s adamant about ranch dressing with her pizza Emmett lived a fulfilled life that began in Granville Otto was killed in an accident eight days after his son’s birth Barb and her new son had to leave their home and move in with her father Life at the time was difficult as the depression loomed over the world fate would change things for Emmett when his mother met James Jacobs Emmett entered Iowa State University to become a veterinarian and graduated in 1946 he started his practice in a one-room apartment in downtown Mount Airy.  Fate struck again when Emmett went on a blind date with Audrey Morris They were married within a year and had two children who were raised on Back Acre Farm that Emmett This property became a successful animal hospital but Doc also raised Angus cattle and farmed Cattlemen’s & Angus Associations Throughout the years he worked tirelessly to help grow the parish and spread the Word of God Doc retired in 1989 but never really retired He always was interested in development and finally his final project about 30 years ago was born Today the Twin Arch Business Park is a testament to his tenacity.  Doc and Audrey had a long and successful marriage After 67 years together Audrey passed in 2016 During that time they travelled and made many friends His favorite foods besides beef were oysters and crabs He always greeted everyone with a smile and never gave up on anything ever.  Michael's Catholic Church at Poplar Springs Bitte aktiviere Javascript in deinem Browser und lade die Seite dann erneut SEITE NEU LADEN  There are no statistics available for this player Thanks for visiting The use of software that blocks ads hinders our ability to serve you the content you came here to enjoy We ask that you consider turning off your ad blocker so we can deliver you the best experience possible while you are here to Ferdinand and Anna Ice Cornpeach Manning He attended Sundances and Pow Wows in his younger days “Sparrow Hawk,” because when he was younger he saved and raised a sparrow hawk after they had fallen out of a nest Salt Lake City;

tuna with Calabrian chili and za’atar; rockfish in Moroccan curry; and agnolotti with black walnut mugummara all have space on the eclectic board having been worked out during all those months of pop-ups was inspirational for Snyder because there’s not a single dish on the opening menu that isn’t operating from a couple of different places at once The winter squash toast comes on focaccia with a butternut ‘nduja and Spanish goat cheese And I can’t even remember the last time I saw anyone doing confit mussels From left: Melanzana made with barrel rested gin turmeric; Night Moose made with bitter aperitivo saline at Emmett / Photographs by Mike Prince Snyder and van der Tak picked up Marissa Chirico from River Twice to run front-of-house and the wine program Petra Manchina has the bar — which is a good local fit since she’s spent the last seven years on the floor with Manatawny and Philadelphia Distilling The cocktail menu will be an ever-changing thing hoping to match the kitchen in its variety and influence and that alone gives the place a leg up over Cadence (which was solidly BYO start to finish) and will change the flow and vibe of the space even if we’re looking at a 38-seat will be essentially unchanged — at least until the spring Opening night is two weeks from today, but reservations are available right now So keep Emmett in mind when you’re making your plans Chinatown lion dance parade / Photograph by Laura Swartz The news broke on Sunday: The Sixers and Comcast Spectacor (who own the Wells Fargo Center the Sixers’ current home) had cut a deal that would keep the team in South Philly rather than moving forward with the ill-considered and generally super shitty plan to build a brand new stadium right in the middle of Center City But now that it has all been settled, here’s what we know: Comcast Spectacor and Harris Blitzer Sports & Entertainment (which owns the Sixers) are going halfsies on a brand-new arena in South Philly that should open sometime around 2031 Said arena (which Comcast will have the naming rights to) will be the new home for both the 76ers and the Flyers Comcast and the Phillies have an additional deal to continue building out the South Philly sports complex with additional entertainment options And there’s still some room to maneuver now when it comes to actually discussing a reasonable plan to revitalize Market East and help out Chinatown — without the tectonic reshaping of the area that would be caused by the construction and operation of an 18,000-seat sports arena dropped into the middle of the city So was it a doomed plan from the start? Was it all nothing but a bunch of high-stakes posturing and fiduciary infighting that sucked in the mayor and all of us as unwitting pawns in a game played out between billionaires Chinatown dodged what may or may not have been a purely hypothetical bullet AND will (maybe) come out of this with a redeveloped Market East (at some nebulous and ill-defined point in the future) and a commitment from the mayor’s office to offer additional support to Chinatown residents and businesses If you’re looking for some more detail (and a little historical perspective from someone who has been watching this process unfold for a long time), Laura Swartz had an excellent explainer yesterday — which you can read right here South Philly will get a new arena and “the country’s top sports and entertainment district” (according to a statement from Dan Hilferty You guys have plans for Chinese New Year yet At Kampar Ange Branca and her crew have put together a four-course Chinese-Malaysian New Year menu that’ll be available from January 29th to February 1st YEE SANG: PROSPERITY SALADBranca learned this one from her mom built for excess and made from 18 ingredients “each one carefully selected to symbolize good fortune and all the wonderful things one could hope for in the new year!” according to Branca POON CHOY: A BASIN FEASTPoon choy is a Hakka dish that’s essentially an entire party feast It’s nine layers of prime meats and seafoods meant to “signify abundance and affluence.” You eat it one layer at a time from top to bottom — and then suddenly remember that you still have two courses to go before dinner is done SALTED FISH FRIED RICECantonese-style fried rice made with house-cured fish and served with a traditional hot Chinese tea TONG SUIAnd then one more Cantonese specialty to round out the night in this case made with longan fruit and snow fungus Tong sui restaurants are popping up all over the place these days (particularly on the West Coast) Tickets for the Chinese New Year dinner will run you $138 (not including drinks, tax, or tip), and reservations are very much required. Get yours here A couple of days before Kampar kicks off their Chinese New Year menu, Com.Unity is doing its second annual Tet dinner to celebrate Vietnamese New Year This one will be on Monday, January 27th, at Le Viet and will be a six-course collaboration dinner featuring Andrew Dinh Vo from Cafe Nhan I have no doubt it’s going to be a helluva dinner Add to that a lion dance from Chinatown’s own Philadelphia Suns Tickets for this one are $108. First seating is at 5 p.m., and they’ll likely be adding a second, 7:30 p.m. seating as well, but I would definitely keep an eye on the reservations because this one is going to sell out fast.

This one kinda snuck up on me, too. But I just got word that Curtain Call (which is the actual name) is opening to the public tonight and will operate as an all-day cafe with service Tuesday through Saturday it will run as a “welcoming cafe where patrons can enjoy their favorite hot beverages and elevated sandwiches in a relaxed atmosphere,” and at night they’ll turn down the lights and become a cocktail bar serving drinks and small plates The menu is short and sweet (mortadella toast crudités) and feels more like a catered reception than an actual restaurant Maybe that’s exactly what this space needs — something simple and straightforward may be the best way to start over they’ll have happy hour on weekdays from 4 p.m and will stay open late on performance nights Sweetgreen will donate a meal to the local community organization do you remember when you had your first Nugget Nectar And then remember to sign up for your AARP membership because the flagship dry-hopped and legitimately famous seasonal beer from Tröegs is turning 21 years old this year the Tröegs team is throwing a four-day-long birthday celebration at their Hershey “Nugget Weekend” will run from Thursday, January 16th, to Sunday the 19th and feature, among other things, a draft-only release of a 9.5% ABV “Double Nugget Nectar,” early samples of “Nitro Nugget” (a smooth and creamy version, carbonated with nitrogen), a chef’s dinner with an open bar and multi-course Nugget-inspired tasting menu (tickets available here) and food specials at the Brewery’s Snack Bar If you’re down, you can find more details on Nugget Nectar’s birthday weekend here and here.

He graduated in 2023, and he needed a certain number of volunteer hours to apply to PA school. “I did research with the Brody School of Medicine and worked in home health with children with autism,” he said Then a friend of his suggested he look into volunteering at the ECU Health Medical Center “I worked in patient transport and some in outpatient rehabilitation,” he said including Emmett (Floyd) – he’s an awesome guy and he showed me a lot of things During his time helping with rehabilitation Bryant said he got to work alongside Shane Whitley “I learned about breaking up scar tissue and stress tests It was one of my favorite areas to work.” He also worked in the Cancer Center where he saw many patients ring the bell to signify their last cancer treatment and the nurses there are elite in their skills.” His experience as a volunteer has set the stage for success in his pursuit of being a PA “It has helped me get comfortable with patients Everyone is different and all come from different backgrounds,” he said “Exposure to these differences is the best way to combat discrimination and it helps us know we’re all human.” The work also helped Bryant better understand how hospitals work and how to collaborate with different professionals and personalities Bryant said he felt blessed give back to a community that has given him “I felt like it was my duty to give back,” he said Emmett Floyd moved to North Carolina to attend Atlantic Christian College (now Barton College) in Wilson he was a teacher and a coach until he was drafted into the army in 1967 he returned to work as an educator and coach until he decided to pursue his master’s degree in educational leadership at East Carolina University (ECU) after which I joined the faculty at ECU in the College of Education,” he said he still worked for the College until 2010 when he became the executive director of the ECU Pirate Club I finally retired for good at age 69,” he said That volunteer work included serving as vice chairman of the local Chamber of Commerce A chat with a fellow ECU colleague – and a previous NC Governor’s Volunteer Service Award winner – Frank Crawley inspired him to look into volunteer work at the ECU Health Medical Center “There’s a few of us who all know each other from ECU and they were all working the Tuesday morning shift helping patients get to where they need to go “I pick them up and take them to endoscopy or GI or up to their hospital rooms And there’s not a day I don’t get a thank you from them Floyd also likes the camaraderie of working with his fellow volunteers “We have a lot of students who come in during the summers and they sit and listen to old men talk about things and then we get them to share about themselves While he was surprised to learn he won the volunteer award “I’m just one who represents the 300 or more members of our team.” He also said he is happy to be able to give back to the community and we’ve benefitted from our time here,” he said and volunteer work is one way to do that.” Those who volunteer for ECU Health find their own way to use their skill sets to help others “I met a woman who rocks babies in the NICU,” he

artfully layering multiple components into a dish that eats like a journey — one that may take sparks of inspiration from here or there but ultimately follows the landscape of the chef’s own imagination the cluster of Middle Eastern countries that stretch from the sea’s eastern edge into Eurasia There is soft butter infused with the fragrant smoked cinnamon of a house ras el hanout to accompany warm madeleines encrusted with toasted sesame seeds and a rhubarb jam dip The Yemenite spice blend of hawaij infuses a creamy sauce for cold-smoked cobia layered with surf clams beneath a cover of torn herbs all over zesty muhammara made with puréed chiles and roasted peanuts instead of the usual walnuts Za’atar-dusted crackers topped with smoked Jonah crab salad are reminiscent of a smoked whitefish among Snyder’s many references to his love for Jewish deli classics Another example not to be missed are the crispy rye tartlets filled with American Wagyu tartare and smoked grain mustard dusted with a nose-tingling garnish of grated horseradish or a satisfying first bite in the four-course tasting option for $105 were often overly ambitious for a Queen Village corner better suited to being a more accessible which initially started elsewhere as a fried chicken restaurant indeed began to lower prices before Snyder left in 2023 and has continued to evolve in that direction.) and the two quickly bonded “theologically” over food and realized they wanted to collaborate The reinstallation of a live-edged bar to this space — recreating Cadence’s chef counter but this time with alcohol — could prove crucial to the financial sustainability of this project (Although 16 more are expected outside in warm weather.) There’s a smart drink program built exclusively around Pennsylvania products by bar manager Petra Manchina who has deftly synced her cocktails to savory ingredients from the kitchen from her take on a dirty martini made with feta brine-washed vodka and leek-infused vermouth to the smoke of clarified eggplant essence for a sparkling lime mocktail and the unusual Mary’s Lamb which uses a lamb fat-washed rye with absinthe and nocino (It’s a cocktail that’s so much better than it sounds — barnyard boozy in a good way.) The Mary’s Lamb is even better when you sip it before diving into the platter of meltingly tender lamb belly and smoked harissa loin over rice and lentil mujadara Snyder is making the most of the great seasonal produce available to him The earthy sweetness of salt-roasted badger flame beets sits between the aromatic crackle of a toasted pistachio dukkah spice and a tangy matbucha puree that’s flavored with coriander-scented tomatoes on the bottom of the plate An appetizer of grilled halloumi cheese is contrasted by the bittersweet crunch of Castelfranco leaves dressed in a yogurt-based green goddess spiked with green chile heat Turkey has been a point of departure for some of Snyder’s most compelling plates such as the carrots cooked mangal-style directly over the coals glazed with vinegar-tanged carrot juice over burnt eggplant puree and harissa yogurt I’m also obsessed with his cappelletti dumplings filled with sujuk sausage a cuminy ground Wagyu beef filling whipped with tangy sumac and fermented ramp miso then arrayed over a romesco sauce made with crushed red chiles and smoked walnuts — one of the most exciting pastas in the city this year But I’d lean on the lighter side (Yes to Galen Glen’s grüner from the Lehigh Valley!) for some of the seafood dishes where Snyder shows his lighter touch as with the buttermilk-dredged chicken-fried oysters with “ranch tzatziki” to start or an arctic char entree with a ras el hanout broth that’s lightly creamed with coconut milk — an admittedly non-Mediterranean ingredient but a versatile way to add nondairy richness (That char has since been replaced by a halibut with harissa butter yet another sign of this chef’s restless curiosity to keep evolving his dishes.) One experiment I’m glad he’s already moved on from is the Wagyu strip loin Although I hope he finds a way to repurpose the bonus prizes on that rambling sharing platter — a broccoli rabe chermoula tribute to South Philly and a wonderful terrine of smoked oxtail and sweetbreads that could be a small plate on its own it doesn’t have to be complicated to be memorable Snyder’s all-time favorite dessert is a classic sticky toffee pudding then drenches it in a wading pool of dark caramel buzzing with Turkish coffee Topped with a fistful of crushed pistachios to finish For this talented young chef bursting with ideas — admittedly sometimes still too many for a single dish — it’s a fortunate situation that he now has a place of his own to continue crystalizing his vision and that we all get to savor the results 161 W.

what landing one of them might do to his foe Emmett needed less than two minutes to answer that question delivering one of the most terrifying knockouts of the decade so far.  That finish not only halted his two-fight skid and earned him a performance bonus but it solidified Emmett’s place on the precipice of the featherweight title picture Instead of parlaying that result into another run toward a title shot he elected to take some time off and heal his body and he returns to action more than 15 months later against the unbeaten and surging Lerone Murphy on April 5.  Order UFC 314: Volkanovski vs Lopes  Emmett said he believed he owed it to himself his coaches and his family to be 100 percent which he believes he is heading into his next headliner and a reflection of how much

gold.  who is unbeaten through eight trips to the Octagon and dispatched Edson Barboza and Dan Ige in 2024 The bout represents Murphy’s second five-round assignment and an opportunity against a former title challenger is exactly the kind of fight he needs to push him into the elite conversation Emmett is completely aware of the situation and although there is less in the fight for him other than stacking a couple of wins together he knows it’s his job to take the risk against the up-and-coming guy ‘Be careful what you ask for,’ and he's never fought anybody like me.  “He's going to be in for a rude awakening on Saturday night.” RELATED: Main Event Spotlight the expectations for fireworks are immense He has landed the most knockdowns in featherweight history (12) and his 1.32 knockdowns

his age He feels like he has everything fine-tuned along with his coaches at Team Alpha Male April 5 provides another window to display those improvements and talents and the ultimate goal remains the same: UFC gold “I've been doing everything to get back into title contention and that the vacant featherweight title is next weekend I just have to go out there and perform the way that I know I'm

asked if he thinks there is "more of a demand" for the band now than ever He responded (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): "Well but I do think that there's a very lovely awareness that exists on a level that 45 "There's this thing called the Coalition for Music Education in Canada," he continued they pick a song to be sort of their national song for the year And they picked [TRIUMPH's] 'Hold On' from the 'Just A Game' album of 1979 I re-recorded a new version of it and they're doing overdubs on it as we speak They get people to write string arrangements for school orchestras and bands and choir arrangements and stuff Ontario of kids in grade two and three and four And it just blows my mind that such a beautiful thing can happen while I'm still around to enjoy it When interviewer Jimmy Kay noted that it's "a reboot for TRIUMPH" in a way Rik said: "I think that there are things about what TRIUMPH was that makes it so that it can still have validity now for people like me and especially given the crap that we're having to go through now in terms of politics and the COVID things we've gone through and isolation and mental health and stuff music is something that has always had a therapeutic value I would say metal might be a type of music that has more of that value than maybe other stuff 'How do we reach those people in the seats And how can I talk straight at them?' I don't wanna be lecturing at them or hectoring them,' and I don't think I must try to find a way to reach the commercial market.' It was I'm a musician and I'm gonna do what I do to satisfy myself.' I was in a band with a couple of guys that strong-willed — they knew what they wanted to do and how they were gonna try to do it But I do think that we picked this name TRIUMPH that was supposed to be about the spirit of reaching those people and giving them something that mattered there had to be songs that tried to do that." Emmett added: "I don't like to come off like I'm bragging or that I'm full of myself 'cause I do think that as an artist because what you're chasing is an infinite thing So you can't get so full of yourself that you go but when else are you gonna have it?' When you're 71 in 1988 — over music and business disputes while TRIUMPH carried on with future BON JOVI guitarist Phil X for one more album before calling it a day the following year from the two other members of the legendary Canadian classic rock power trio for 18 years before they repaired their relationship "Lay It On The Line - A Backstage Pass To Rock Star Adventure Gil Moore (drums),Mike Levine (bass) and Emmett formed TRIUMPH in 1975 and their blend of heavy riff-rockers with progressive odysseys inspiring lyrics and virtuosic guitar playing quickly made them a household name in Canada "Magic Power" and "Fight The Good Fight" broke them in the USA and they amassed a legion of fiercely passionate fans as a band that suddenly split at the zenith of their popularity TRIUMPH missed out on an opportunity to say thank you to those loyal and devoted fans Levine and Moore played at the 2008 editions of the Sweden Rock Festival and Rocklahoma A DVD of the historic Sweden performance was made available four years later Why CCS?

Everyone loves a good trip, a nice getaway, but there is also something comforting, satisfying about returning home to familiar surroundings and settling back in, which is precisely what the UFC does this weekend. Following international adventures in London and Mexico City, the action inside the Octagon this weekend once again takes place at the UFC APEX, with a slate featuring a number of intriguing matchups and capped by a crucial featherweight main event between Josh Emmett and Lerone Murphy. It’s a home cooking weekend, and here’s a look at what’s on the menu. View this post on Instagram A post shared by UFC (@ufc) Top 10 featherweights look to make their case for a spot in the title conversation as Josh Emmett and Lerone Murphy face off in Saturday night’s main event FREE FIGHTS: Emmett vs Mitchell | Murphy vs Barboza  A fixture in the rankings for the last several years this marks Emmett’s first appearance since his thunderous knockout win over Bryce Mitchell at UFC 296 at the end of 2023 He opened that year challenging for the interim title and then pushing now former champ Ilia Topuria to the scorecards and remains one of the most dangerous power hitters in the division More than five years after making his first walk to the Octagon Murphy makes the trek on Saturday still brandishing an unbeaten record having gone 7-0-1 in his first eight UFC appearances to advance his record to 15-0-1 “The Miracle” posted back-to-back decision wins over Edson Barboza and Dan Ige further establishing himself as an ascending name to watch in the 145-pound weight class The landscape of the featherweight division is shifting with a new champion set to be crowned next weekend While the winner of this one may not move straight into a championship opportunity a strong performance from either man should definitely put them in the conversation and set up a key fight in the second half of the year Featherweights occupy the co-main event slot this weekend with Pat Sabatini taking on Joanderson Brito After opening his UFC career with four straight wins Sabatini has alternated results over his last four outings entering Saturday’s contest off a first-round submission win over Jonathan Pearce last October The Philadelphia native is a standout grappler and dogged wrestler who will need to keep his chin tucked and his head down in order to collect a second consecutive victory Brito lost his promotional debut before rattling off five straight finishes following his contract-winning effort on Season 5 of Dana White’s Contender Series (DWCS) the aggressive Brazilian landed on the wrong side of the scorecards in a competitive bout with France’s William Gomis UFC MEXICO RECAP: Bonus Coverage | Results | Scorecards Can Sabatini build off his dominant showing last time out or will Brito get things moving in the right direction again to begin his 2025 campaign Action shifts to the bantamweight division in this one as DWCS grad Cortavious Romious faces off with Road to UFC tournament winner ChangHo Lee Fighting out of Pura Vida BJJ/MMA in Milwaukee Romious competed on back-to-back seasons of the annual talent-search series losing his first appearance to Ramon Taveras before out-hustling Canadian Michael Imperato last year to claim a contract the 31-year-old dropped a unanimous decision to Gaston Bolanos starting well before fading in the back half of the contest Lee earned dominant stoppage wins over Rana Singh and Daermisi Zhawupasi to advance to the bantamweight tournament finals on the second season of Road to UFC then had to wait 10 months before finally facing off with Xiao Long The South Korean won the bout by unanimous decision These are the type of early-career fights that are critical to determining whether an athlete is capable of maintaining a place on the UFC roster long term While not a massive fight in terms of divisional significance how it plays out will tell us a great deal about both Romious and Lee once the smoke clears It’s a clash of Contender Series graduates in the heavyweight division here as Season 2 alum Kennedy Nzechukwu makes his third start in the big boy ranks opposite Season 5 grad Martin Buday READ: March's Monthly Report Nzechukwu has been a fascinating addition to the heavyweight division through his first two appearances having registered first-round stoppage wins over Chris Barnett and Lukasz Brzeski The towering Nigerian always flashed upside during his light heavyweight days and seems to have finally found how to make his considerable weapons work best for him consistently inside the Octagon Buday also started his UFC heavyweight tenure with wins over Barnett and Brzeski adding victories over Jake Collier and Josh Parisian before being handed his first loss by Shamil Gaziev at the end of 2023 He rebounded last year with a split decision win over Andrei Arlovski and will now look to stem the advances of his fellow DWCS alum this weekend Heavyweight is one of those weight classes where three or four wins can put you in the thick of the chase so this main card clash carries plenty of significance Middleweights with a combined 85 professional bouts under their belts share the Octagon here as Brad Tavares faces off with Gerald Meerschaert UFC 314 SIT-DOWN INTERVIEWS: Volkanovski | Lopes | Rodriguez | Pimblett  The longest tenured fighter in the division Tavares begins his 16th year on the UFC roster looking to snap a two-fight skid the longtime litmus test in the 185-pound ranks is just 3-6 over his last nine fights and has gone just 1-4 since registering consecutive wins over Antonio Carlos Junior and Omari Akhmedov in 2021 Meerschaert is an action-oriented fighter that uses durability and a great submission game to serve as a tricky assignment for everyone he’s matched up against despite being 55 fights deep into his career He had a two-fight winning streak snapped by Reinier de Ridder last time out and will surely be looking to add to his record for the most finishes in middleweight division history this weekend The main card opener also comes in the middleweight division as three-time DWCS competitor Torrez Finney makes his promotional debut opposite recent TUF finalist Robert Valentin but no contract in Season 7 before registering a unanimous decision victory over Cam Rowston in his first appearance of Season 8 and finally secured his spot on the UFC roster advancing his record to 10-0 in the process Valentin was the breakout performer on Season 32 of The Ultimate Fighter advancing to the finals on the strength of stoppage wins over Giannis Bachar and Paddy McCorry while also taking on a coaching role with Team Grasso He was submitted by Ryan Loder in the finals last August and looks to rebound and collect his first UFC victory here Order UFC 314: Volkanovski vs Lopes  This is an excellent initial matchup for Finney who is undersized for the division at five-foot-eight but has yet to encounter any real roadblocks to success in the 185-pound ranks Valentin is a dangerous live wire with a considerable size advantage so it’s going to be interesting to see how this one plays out Saturday’s prelims close in the flyweight division as DWCS Season 3 graduate Ode’ Osbourne welcomes Class of ’24 alum Luis Gurule to the Octagon for the first time Osbourne
