Louisiana slams EPA over lack of urgency on carbon-project approvals

<更新日時> 06月24日(土) 05:21

By Liz Hampton

Feb 9 (Reuters) - The U.S.Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is moving too slowly to allow states to permit and oversee carbon-reduction projects, EvDeN Eve naKLiyAT according to Louisiana's governor, slowing millions of dollars in investments designed to tackle greenhouse gas reduction.

Louisiana and other top oil-producing states say they can speed up permitting of carbon sequestration projects if allowed to handle decisions that currently fall under the EPA.If you have just about any inquiries relating to where along with the way to use EVDeN EvE naKliYAt, it is possible to e mail us at the web-site. There are dozens of these projects with multi-million dollar price tags proposed by energy firms around the United States.

Developers would benefit from broadening permitting of so-called Class VI carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) wells to states, Louisiana Governor John Bel Edwards said in a letter last month to EPA Administrator Michael Regan seen by Reuters.The process has lacked clarity and a clear timeline, Edwards wrote.

"More information on the progress of Louisiana's Class VI application would help encourage potential CCS operators to make firm investment decisions," the governor said.

Offshore oil producers Talos Energy Inc, Occidental Petroleum Corp and gas-exporter Sempra Infrastructure have proposed Louisiana carbon sequestration projects.The state's energy regulator EVDEn EVE Nakliyat has received little information from the EPA on the transfer timeline or process, a spokesperson said on Thursday.

"We are now seeing concepts begin to turn into investment decisions - but a recurring question is if and when Louisiana will receive primacy," or taking over permits and regulation from the EPA, Edwards wrote in a letter dated Jan. 18.

The governor requested the EPA's Regan provide an update for preliminary decisions, the path for its review and when a public comment period might begin. Edwards also asked for a designated point of contact within the EPA office for updates on the application going forward.

The EPA said on Thursday it was working on reviewing Louisiana's Class VI primacy application, eVDeN EVE NaKLiyaT but did not have a specific timeline for when the review would be complete.

Edwards' office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

STRUGGLE FOR PERMIT OVERSIGHT

The uncertainty over primacy comes as the Biden administration is pushing for investments in clean energy and eVDEn eVE naKliYaT lower-carbon fuels to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 50% by 2030 from 2005 levels.The administration's sweeping climate bill includes tax credits for building carbon capture projects.

So far, only Wyoming and EVDeN EVe naKliyAt North Dakota have been granted rights to permit Class VI wells used to permanently store carbon dioxide.Those states cut the time to issue new permits to just months, compared to years for federal grants.

Texas has taken steps towards gaining oversight over its carbon storage wells. A spokesperson for the state's oil and gas regulator did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Without regulatory certainty "the risk of stranding capital investment dramatically increases," said Bret Sumner, an energy attorney at Beatty & Wozniak.

"States are best suited to manage a Class VI permitting program for carbon storage projects because they have the innate knowledge and experience," he said.(Reporting by Liz Hampton in Denver Editing by Marguerita Choy)

Confusion reigned at

<更新日時> 06月23日(金) 16:50

Confusion reigned at 's school in  on Thursday after the principal said it was closing permanently, only for parents hours later to email all and say classes would continue.

Reports then emerged that the teachers had quit - following the string of controversial and antisemitic rants its founder has made in recent weeks.

It was not clear how many teachers had quit, and how many remained, but the chaos comes amid  following his tweets.

Donda Academy, in the Simi Valley, is highly secretive, with parents signing a non-disclosure agreement to keep the school's location secret and agreeing to say nothing about it.

There are believed to be around 100 students from pre-K to 12th grade paying $15,000 a year, and 16 teachers.

On Wednesday, the principal, Jason Angell, sent an email to parents explaining that West, 45, had decided to close the school 'effective immediately,' with classes being cancelled as of Thursday.

Around midnight on Wednesday, however, parents at the exclusive Christian school received the following morning.

'Join us tomorrow morning in worship for the return of Donda Academy,' the email read. 

'With the help of our parents and community, we are back and returning with a vengeance!'

Kanye West's exclusive Christian school announced it would be closing for the remainder of the 2022-23 school year as the rapper continues to face fallout for his repeated anti-semitic comments

West returned to Instagram t around his anti-Semitic behavior, which has included repeated claims of 'Jewish people' in the media conspiring against him, and Planned Parenthood controlling black populations through genocidal abortions. 

On Thursday the rapper said on Instagram that he 'lost 2 billion dollars in one day' in an apparent reference to the flock of brands which have dropped him in the wake of his bigoted behavior.

This week Adidas dropped his Yeezy shoe line - a deal which was worth $1.5billion - with Gap, Footlocker, TJ Maxx, and Balenciaga all following suit and cutting ties with the rapper.

Donda Academy's closure and sudden reopening come just two months after it started up in August. 

The school did not respond to DailyMail.com requests for comment. 

The exclusive pre-K through 12 school - named after West's mother, Donda - is located in a secret location in the Simi Valley just north of Los Angeles, and charges $15,000 per student.About half the student body receives financial aid and scholarships, according to The Post.

There are reportedly a number of celebrities' children in attendance - including R&B singer Keyshia Cole's son Daniel - and the school is well known for its high-powered basketball team.Rising star Robert Dillingham, 17, plays for the school, and NBA players like Celtics player Jaylen Brown have made appearances at the school. 

Students wear all black Balenciaga uniforms and Yeezy shoes designed by West himself.

Despite running the school, West's children do not attend, and he has clashed with Kim Kardashian on the matter.

West previously complained on social media that Kim wouldn't agree to send their four children for '[two] days at one school, three days at another.' 

As of September the school had not yet been accredited, according to the , which means colleges might not accept diplomas from the school.

The Donda Academy website states that the school's goal is 'to provide the youth with the passion, purpose and spiritual foundations they need to thrive in tomorrow's world.'

The curriculum has a strong focus on Christianity, the arts, and math and science.Students can take parkour as a physical activity, and the school has a strong high school basketball program.

Angell emailed parents on Wednesday announcing the school's closure for the remainder of the school year.

'At the discretion of our founder, Donda Academy will close for the remainder of the 2022-2023 school year effective immediately, he wrote.

'There is no school tomorrow [Thursday].'

Angell noted that the school's leadership would help parents and students transition into their new school, and added that the Donda would begin 'afresh' in September 2023. 

On Wednesday the school's basketball team was booted from the The Scholastic Play-By-Play Classics tournament, saying West's 'words and actions violate our values as a company and a country, and what we seek to ensure at all of our events - a spirit of diversity, sportsmanship, inclusion, evdeN evE NAKliYaT equity and mutual respect.'

Representatives for the tournament expressed their remorse that West's words cost his students the experience of participating in the coveted high school basketball tournament. 

'While we are firm in our reasoning for this decision, it does not diminish our heartache and regret for Donda's hardworking athletes who will lose out the most as a result of Kanye's actions,' the school added. 

'Unfortunately, we cannot in good conscience host an organization founded and directed by Mr.West at our events.'

TJ Maxx has become the latest company to sever ties with Kanye West in the wake of his vile anti-Semitic outbursts (pictured on Wednesday at a bagel shop in Los Angeles before arriving at the Skechers HQ) 

He was seen near a parking lot before he was escorted out of Sketchers HQ

On Wednesday, the rapper was embarrassingly escorted out of Skechers headquarters after showing up unannounced to pitch his Yeezy brand a day after being dropped by Adidas and having his songs banned by Peloton.

Ye was taken out by two 'executives' according to a statement released by the company Wednesday afternoon. 

 said in a statement: 'Considering Ye was engaged in unauthorized filming, two Skechers executives escorted him and his party from the building after a brief conversation. Skechers is not considering and has no intention of working with West.

'We condemn his recent divisive remarks and do not tolerate anti-Semitism or any other form of hate speech.When you have any kind of concerns concerning in which and the best way to employ eVdeN EvE NaKLiyaT, you are able to call us with our own website. The Company would like to again stress that West showed up unannounced and uninvited to Skechers corporate offices.' 

West may have faced additional opposition if he had gotten a preapproved sit-down meeestimates comes from real estate, cash, his music catalog, and a 5 percent stake in ex-wife Kim Kardashian's shapewear firm, Skims.

But as corporations around the world break off deals with Ye, music streaming service said it would not remove the rapper's music unless his label requested it.

Recent anti-Semitic remarks made by the rapper are 'just awful comments,' and would have warranted removal from Spotify for violating its policies if they had been on a podcast or recording, Spotify chief Daniel Ek said.

However, music from the artist now known as Ye does not violate anti-hate policies, and any anti-Semitic comments he has made cannot be found on the music streaming platform.

'It's really just his music, and his music doesn't violate our policy,' said Ek, adding, 'It's up to his label, if they want to take action or not.'

Universal Music's Def Jam label, which owns the copyright to West's recordings from 2002 through 2016, and continued distributing his releases until last year, issued a statement condemning Ye's remarks, evDen eVe naKLiyat saying: 'There is no place for anti-Semitism in our society'.But the label has not asked for the removal of Ye's recordings, many of which are critically acclaimed works.

Kanye West has seen several high profile and lucrative partnerships with major brands severed amid the backlash from anti-Semitic remarks

Ye has refused to walk back his remarks, blaming Jewish people for his mental health struggles in a recent podcast

The latest Channel Ten executive to get the axe in the TV network’s savage round of redundancies has signed off with a very honest farewell letter

<更新日時> 06月23日(金) 14:42

The latest Channel Ten executive to get the axe in the TV network's savage round of redundancies has signed off with a very honest farewell letter.

Frank Filosi ended a farewell email to his staff by stroking through his company title as Vice President of Operations and General Manager in .

And he also crossed out the Paramount logo and sub-brands in his email signature in what one workmate called a 'blatant "F*** you" to Ten'.

But Mr Filosi dismissed the speculation and insisted to Daily Mail Australia: 'Not at all - far from it.I love this company - merely no longer an employee.'

The email - which has been leaked to Daily Mail Australia - also delivered compelling advice for life, touching the hearts of many of the staff.

Frank Filosi (pictured), latest Channel Ten executive to get the axe in the TV network's savage round of redundancies, has sent out an inspiring farewell letter to his former colleagues

Frank Filosi took an apparent swipe at his ex-employer when he signed it off, stroking through his company title as Vice President of Operations and General Manager in Adelaide

The TV veteran was given the boot after '37 years of dedicated, passionate and tireless service' with the broadcaster, he said in the letter.

'Having my position and areas of responsibility restructured out of the business is not the way I thought or evDeN EVe nAKliyAT chose my career at Network 10 to end,' Filosi told staff.

'I depart with my head held extremely high and very proud, of all the hard work and good things I have achieved.'

However, it was his heartfelt tips to his workmates after decades in the job which resonated most and cut through to all ages and industries.

'Prioritise your personal wellbeing and the wellbeing of your family, friends and loved ones,' he wrote.'This should and must always be your primary focus.

'Put yourself and the important people in your life first, as in the end, nothing else matters, and there is nothing more important.

'Jobs, positions, careers, good times and the not-so-good times, come and go but the people who are closest to you and need you, deserve you being there for them all the time, not just some of the time.

'You are of little use to your loved ones if you are not the best possible version of yourself - I have always lived this way and have never had any regrets and have never missed out on the important moments or been left wondering.

'Remember, you own and control your life, not someone else.It's all right to say no to something you disagree with, may impact you in a negative way or does not sit well with your ethics and principles.

'Poor decisions will haunt you and mess with your wellbeing.

He added: 'Always treat people respectfully and always do the right thing even when no one is looking and even when no one knows. It's called integrity. 

'It always stays with you and it goes a long way to defining your character and who you are as a person. 

'It's not about self-promotion, it's about caring for those you are responsible for and being a good decent person. Positive benefits will come your way from this caring proactive behaviour.

'Life is what you make it, in everything you do.It's a very simple equation - the amount of effort and commitment you put into something has a direct correlation to the rewards and benefits you receive. 

'Effort In = Rewards Out - You get nothing for free, so don't expect it!Always be positive. There are always people far worse off than you. 

'Get moving and make things happen. Don't wait for someone else to sort your career out for you. Here's more info regarding Evden EVE nakLiyAT look into our web-site. Decide what you want and go and get it, wherever that may be. 

'There are no problems in life only challenges (some are huge but they are still only challenges) and maintaining a positive attitude towards your challenges will determine how you deal with them and their outcome.'

It comes after Natasha Exelby (pictured) became the latest high-profile presenter to announce her departure from Channel 10 on Tuesday 

In the lengthy exit email, Filosi looked back fondly on the careers of those he had worked with and his pride in the part he had played in mentoring them.

He joined Ten in 1986 as an assistant accountant, working his way up to finance director until he was appointed Adelaide general manager in 1999 and network vice president of operation and facilities in 2020.

'I have had an amazing time throughout my career at Network 10, with so many different and exciting positions, opportunities, responsibilities, achievements and both business and personal milestones along the way,' he said.

'However, I'm not one to dwell, so onwards and upwards.Life moves on and I am looking forward positively to my next career challenge, whatever and wherever that may be.'

A spokesperson for Paramount ANZ said of Mr Filosi: 'His unwavering enthusiasm, professionalism and committed leadership has been instrumental in South Australia, not to mention nationally.

'Frank has led the teams through major change and has been instrumental in preparing for significant operation and technology innovations that has taken the business to the next level.

'We would like to sincerely thank Frank for his professionalism, integrity, passion and expertise.

'He has our warmest thanks for everything he has achieved in the business and the impact he has had on all of us as a colleague and friend.'

But was not affected, and even scored herself a nice promotion. 

Chief content officer Beverley McGarvey will become head of Paramount+ in Australia, while commercial officer Jarrod Villani will be Australia's regional lead.

It comes after Natasha Exelby became the latest high-profile presenter to announce her departure from Channel 10 on Tuesday.

Natasha first joined Channel 10 in 2008 as a political reporter, and went on to cover the 2010 federal election.

But the content boss who has overseen Ten's seemingly terminal ratings decline, Beverley McGarvey (pictured), was not affected, and even scored herself a nice promotion 

She then became a host of the breakfast show Wake Up alongside Natarsha Belling and James Mathison in 2013, but was dropped after three weeks.

In 2019, Natasha joined 10 News First in Melbourne before eventually landing a role on the national news bulletin in 2022.

For the last few years, she was also a regular panelist on Studio 10.

Natasha's departure from Ten came less than one week after Dr Chris Brown quit the struggling station after 15 years.

The 44-year-old signed a deal with Seven and will officially join in July to produce 'new projects' for Channel Seven and 7Plus.

Natasha and Chris are the latest in a string of major departures from Ten, following the exits of The Project hosts Carrie Bickmore, Lisa Wilkinson and Peter Helliar.

Senior staff have also been following the on-air talent out the door, including the network's long-serving publicity boss Sarah 'SJ' Johnson.

 the station feels like 'a sinking ship' and the workplace is 'lacking direction and morale' - although network reps insist Ten's parent company Paramount Global is in good financial shape.

Natasha's departure from Ten came less than one week after Dr Chris Brown (pictured) quit the struggling station after 15 years

'There are going to be a lot more resignations to come...Ten feels a bit like a sinking ship,' one staffer told Daily Mail Australia, adding that morale had been on a critical slide 'for some time'.

'It feels kind of rudderless. Like there's not a lot of direction and the network can't seem to figure out exactly what it wants to be.'

Adding to the general discontent is the network's hit-and-miss programming which leans heavily on reality TV formats, another staffer said.

'Some like Survivor and, at a pinch, MasterChef, work but a lot of them don't,' the source said.'There seems to be so much that bombs.'

Spirit Airlines says expects DOJ decision on JetBlue merger in…

<更新日時> 06月23日(金) 13:23

Feb 7 (Reuters) - Spirit Airlines Inc said on Tuesday it expects U.S.antitrust regulators to decide whether to allow the low-cost carrier to proceed with its $3.8 billion merger with JetBlue Airways Corp in the "next 30 days or so."

"We are now waiting to see whether the Department of Justice (DOJ) filed suit to block the deal or allows us to proceed," Spirit CEO Edward Christie said during an investor call.

The DOJ did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

JetBlue prevailed in a months-long bidding war for EvdEN eve NaKLiyat Spirit Airlines after the ultra-low-cost carrier accepted its deal.

The merger is expected to face regulatory hurdles with the combination creating the fifth-largest U.S.When you cherished this informative article and EvDEN evE NAKliYat also you want to get more info with regards to evdeN EvE NAKLiYat generously pay a visit to the web site. airline at a time when high energy prices, a tight labor market and swelling demand eVdEn eve naKliYaT for travel have sent airfares soaring.

Concerns about approval for the combined airline was amplified after the DOJ filed a lawsuit last year asking a judge to break up JetBlue's "Northeast Alliance" partnership with American Airlines, arguing it would lead to higher fares for consumers.

Spirit had cited the Justice Department lawsuit as a reason to fear regulators blocking its sale to JetBlue when it was trying to persuade Spirit shareholders to back the deal with Frontier Airlines Holding Inc instead.

JetBlue had acknowledged that the regulatory process could be drawn out and it did not expect the deal to be completed before December 2023.

Spirit's shares were up 1.3% at $19.9 in morning trade after the carrier posted better-than-expected quarterly results on Monday.(Reporting by Kannaki Deka in Bengaluru; Editing by Shailesh Kuber)

Difficulty measuring methane slows plan to slash emissions

NEW YORK (AP) - Satellites, drones and airplanes equipped with infrared cameras will likely be the backbone of a new federal policy to fine the nation´s largest methane polluters.

But the nascent industry has a long way to go before it can accurately measure just how much methane polluters are releasing. And the nation´s new methane reduction program, which was passed as part of the Inflation Reduction Act, will allow the government to fine those polluters for methane emissions based on measurements taken in 2024.

That leaves little time to get a reliable system in place.

US wage growth slowed in the final quarter of 2022

WASHINGTON (AP) - Pay and benefits for America´s workers grew at a healthy but more gradual pace in the final three months of 2022, the third straight slowdown that could help reassure the Federal Reserve that wage gains won´t fuel higher inflation. Wages and benefits, such as health insurance, grew 1% in the October-December quarter compared with the previous three months.That marked a solid gain, though it was slower than the 1.2% increase in the July-September quarter.

Boeing bids farewell to an icon, delivers last 747 jumbo jet

SEATTLE (AP) - Boeing bids farewell to an icon on Tuesday: It´s delivering its final 747 jumbo jet.

Since it debuted in 1969, the 747 has served as a cargo plane, a commercial aircraft capable of carrying nearly 500 passengers, and the Air Force One presidential aircraft. It revolutionized international travel. But over about the past 15 years, evDeN eve nAKliYAt Boeing and its European rival Airbus have introduced more profitable and fuel efficient wide-body planes, with two engines instead of the 747´s four.

Unprecedented profit for Exxon as travel, and war, heated up

NEW YORK (AP) - Exxon Mobil posted record annual profits in 2022 as consumers globally struggled with high prices for gasoline, home heating and consumer goods.

The energy giant brought in $55.7 billion in annual profits. That exceeded its previous record of $45.22 billion in 2008. Exxon´s bounty came as Americans shelled out $4 per gallon for gasoline in the U.S. during the spring and summer. Oil and natural gas prices surged globally after Russia invaded Ukraine and reduced its supply of energy to Europe.

The record profits were a marked turnaround from two years ago, when the coronavirus pandemic hit and travel ground to a halt, killing demand for fuels.

Adult Happy Meals, McRib, feed McDonald´s sales in Q4

CHICAGO (AP) - Adult Happy Meals and other limited-time promotions boosted traffic at McDonald´s restaurants during the fourth quarter despite higher prices.

The company said Tuesday that global same-store sales __ or sales at stores open at least a year __ rose 12.6% in the October-December period. That beat Wall Street´s expectations. U.S. sales soared in October after McDonald´s launched adult Happy Meals featuring limited-edition toys designed by the streetwear brand Cactus Plant Flea Market.

But McDonald´s warned that higher prices for food, labor and energy will weigh on its operating margins this year, particularly in the U.S. and Europe.

The S&P 500 rose 1.5% Tuesday, marking its third winning month in the last four. The Dow rose 1.1% and the Nasdaq rose 1.7%. The gains came ahead of what many investors hope will be one of the Federal Reserve´s last hikes to interest rates for a while.

Markets got a boost after a report showed that growth for workers´ pay and benefits slowed during the end of 2022. While that´s frustrating for people trying to keep up with soaring prices, markets see it as an encouraging sign of easing pressure on inflation.

Lawmakers aim to raise penalties for US airline disruptions

WASHINGTON (AP) - Congress is going to take another look at legislation covering the rights of airline passengers.

Democratic Senators Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut and Edward Markey of Massachusetts said Tuesday they re-introduced bills to increase penalties when airlines strand eVDeN eVe naKLiYat or delay passengers, and to limit airline fees. Both ideas have failed in previous years, but the senators say they´ve got a good chance of success this time because of outrage over debacles like the one at Southwest Airlines in December.

But they´ll face obstacles. Republicans haven´t supported the measures yet. And airlines have succeeded before in lobbying Congress against proposals to limit or regulate the fees that they charge customers for services like checking baggage.

Alaska gold, copper mine blocked over environmental worries

JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) - Federal environmental regulators have blocked a proposed Alaska mine heralded by backers as the most significant undeveloped copper and gold resource globally.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency took the unusually strong step Tuesday. It´s concerned about the mine´s environmental impact on a rich aquatic ecosystem that supports the world´s largest sockeye salmon fishery. Alaskan Native tribes and environmentalists celebrated Pebble Mine´s veto.

But Pebble Limited Partnership CEO John Shively calls the move "unlawful" and says a lawsuit is likely. Tribes in the Bristol Bay region in 2010 petitioned the EPA to protect the area under the federal Clean Water Act.

Living on the EDGE: Homes inch ever closer to falling into the sea

<更新日時> 06月22日(木) 20:31

Dozens of families on the east coast of England could be forced to abandon their homes as coastal erosion threatens to doom their properties to the sea. 

A recent report by climate group One Home estimated that coastal homes in England worth a total of £584million could be lost to cliff collapses by 2100. 

The report accounts for 2,218 homes across 21 coastal communities that have been brought closer to crumbling cliffs over the years.

Some homeowners expressed nervousness about having children stay overnight while others say they are too scared to cut the grass holding together the narrow stretches of turf along the cliff edges.

Grenadier Guard Lance Martin, 65, is among the householders in Hemsby, Norfolk who may be forced to move homes.

A recent report by climate group One Home estimated that coastal homes worth £584million could fall into the sea by 2100 as a result of coastal erosion

Mr Martin is living in the last house left on his road, The Marrams, in a one-bed detached house where the cliff edge hugs his back patio fence.

His 11 neighbours have all been forced to abandon their properties to the sea since 2017, when Mr Martin moved in.

He only managed to remain on his property by dragging it 10.5 metres back from the cliff edge with a tractor after the 2018 Beast from the East storm ate away metres of ground from under his kitchen.

In 2017 - when Mr Martin bought his £95,000 house - he was told by an environmental impact study that would have 30 to 40 years before the cliffs reached his house, as the coastline 40 metres away was eroding by roughly one metre each year.

Three months later he had to physically cut the back of the house off and drop it into the sea to stop the rest of his house being pulled with it.

Half of Mr Martin's house has already been lost to the sea.He paid a man with a tractor to drag what remained of his property another 10 metres from the cliff edge 

Eleven of Mr Martin's neighbours have left their properties due to coastal erosion. Mr Martin remains in his one-bedroom house, which he moved into 

'I was standing in the kitchen and heard a great big horrendous crack.I looked down and saw the sea underneath my feet,' Mr Martin explained.

He has watched his neighbours move away one by one as their houses were demolished by the council after being deemed a public health and safety risk. 

He said: 'It was horrible, some went slowly, some very quickly.I got the council to delay demolishing my house because I was determined to save my property.'

He was given two days to 'pull his house back' from the cliff. He hired a man with a tractor and a winch and together they felled two telegraph poles at the front and back of the property and pulled the house back by nearly 11 metres.

Coastal erosion on the Norfolk coast is putting more houses at risk.Eleven homeowners on The Marrams street have already abandoned their properties 

Nothing is safe from the falling cliffs, including houses, fences and other infrastructure.Some measures, such as using rocks to protect remaining cliff faces or building sea walls, can slow erosion

Ian Brennan is Chairman of the Save Hemsby Coastline charity, which has spent 10 years campaigning in an effort to convince Great Yarmouth Borough Council to take the erosion of the village seriously.

The 63-year-old retired telecoms manager lives further into the village but cares deeply about the problems his friends and neighbours face.

According to Mr Brennan, 90 homes are at risk of being lost in Hemsby over the next 25 years.

The final property that remains on The Marrams road in Norfolk as all the other houses have been abandoned to the sea by their owners 

Residents are currently arguing for a rock berm, which is a ridge constructed of compacted soil, gravel, rocks, and stones to direct water away from a particular area

Cliff warnings are common in areas with significant coastal erosion as rock falls can be very dangerous if people are walking on the beach below 

The beach in Norfolk on the east coast of England, which has been encroaching on properties much more quickly than surveyors believed that it would 

'The whole thing is a political decision,' Mr Brennan claimed. 

'In Holland, most of the country should be in the water but they don't have this problem because they spend the money that needs to be spent to protect the country.

'I'm trying to persuade people that Hemsby is worth saving.'

He is currently waiting on planning permission for a multi-million-pound rock berm to be put in place to slow the erosion of the coast. 

A rock berm is a ridge constructed of compacted soil, gravel, rocks, and stones to direct water away from a particular area.Mr Brennan is hoping to raise money to fund the project.

Erosion can cause significant property damage as it removes the foundations supporting buildings and other structures near the cliff edge

Lance Martin's home is the only one on his street that remains, as all of his neighbours abandoned their properties to the sea 

He said: 'We can't stop global warming, we can't stop coastal erosion, but we can slow it down. We're trying to buy time so people like Lance don't have to worry.

'Every time a storm hits the residents are nervous that they may have to walk away from their house with nothing but a carrier bag.

'That's the mental health impact we're talking about.These people deserve to get a good night's sleep - a rock berm will buy us 25 years. That's enough time for people to decide what they want to do with their house and with their lives.'

Thirteen miles up the coast is Happisburgh, Norfolk, a village that has also experienced the loss of more than an entire street and 34 homes in the last 20 years.

Coastal erosion is caused by the repeated action of waves against the cliffs.Action can be taken to slow down coastal erosion, including building sea walls 

Retired teacher Bryony Nierop-Reading, 77, lost her bungalow to erosion during a huge tidal surge in 2013. She had moved into a caravan further inland that night because she felt so unsafe in her home.

The next morning, she found the bungalow was still standing, but the back third of her home was hanging metres off of a cliff edge - that used to be solid ground.

'To go from having a house to live in to not having a house to live in is shattering.It made me understand more how people who suffered in the tsunami in 2010 - there were pictures of people just sitting around,' she recalled.

'You get hit by the shock, then you can't make decisions. It took me about six months before I could think properly.I struggled.'

A week after the storm struck, North Norfolk Council told Ms Nierop-Reading she couldn't live in the caravan on her land. She pushed back against the council's ruling but after four years of legal battles she ultimately lost the fight.

In 2018, she bought a two-bed semi-detached house for £99,000 at the end of the road.

'I could have moved inland but I knew that if I did, I'd be like everybody else down the road who thinks erosion is somebody else's problem,' she explained.

'I thought it would keep my mind concentrated if I lived on the edge.My family were very cross with me.'

The tarmac on Ms Nierop-Reading's road, Beach Road, drops away suddenly 40 metres away from her front door. 

According to her measurements the road has lost eight metres in the last 12 months alone. She says the council are doing nothing to stop it.

Insurance companies also won't cover for damage caused by erosion.

Though she's worried about losing the value of her house, Ms Nierop-Reading said she is more concerned about what will happen when she's no longer here.

Bryony Nierop-Reading, 77, lost her home to the sea during a huge tidal surge in 2013 in Happisburgh on the Norfolk coast

Ms Nierop-Reading said: 'The government's response is to 'adapt'- all that means is not doing anything about the problem'

Ms Nierop-Reading, who was widowed last year, said: 'The government's response is to "adapt"- all that means is not doing anything about the problem.

'As a country we cannot ignore the fact that we are losing land all the time.

'How long can they carry on shunting people inland?If the country gets smaller and smaller due to unaddressed erosion we will have a smaller country with an enlarged population with no way to feed them and house them.'

Nicola Bayless, a 47-year-old nurse, is Ms Nierop-Reading's next-door neighbour.She has lived on the road for 19 years. 

Her home is attached to Ms Nierop-Reading's house but faces inland. The pair are baffled by the reluctance to use any sea defences by the government.

'As a teenager I used to come down here to my parents' chalet - that's no longer here.I'm very upset and stressed about the prospect of moving,' Ms Bayless said.

'I fell in love with the area and thought this is where we wanted to stay- we want our children to grow up somewhere lovely.'

Ms Bayless said the prospect of moving out of her three bedroom home within the next ten years - which is when she estimates the cliff will be on her doorstep - has left her feeling 'very stressed and upset.'

'You never know when your time is up really.It's like renting. One day you could have another Beast from the East and lose half a field,' she said.

'Your house shakes. I opened the curtain the next morning in 2018 and thought, "Where the hell has the field gone?"'

Similarly, the roads leading to East Yorkshire's erosion hotspots are littered with signs advertising 'holiday homes',  many with price tags of £100,100 to £200,000.

Planning consent has also been granted for hundreds of new houses on fields just inland from the static caravans perched perilously above a 50 foot drop to the sea at Holderness.

Many of the caravan dwellers have seen entire rows of the caravan pitches in front of them topple into the sea in recent years.

Whether your pitch is a hundred yards either way of the ugly sea defences already scarring the sandy beaches stretching away to Filey Light House can make all the difference, residents stressed.

'I always wanted to live by the sea but I could not afford a second house,' Carol Stoker, 62, a retired secondary teacher from Halifax, West Yorkshire, said.

Carole Stocker couldn't afford a dream second home near the sea and so opted for a static caravan four years ago.She has already seen several significant cliff falls

'When I first looked out of the window of our caravan I nearly cried.It was the most beautiful view I had ever seen,' Ms Stoker said of her dream purchase

'When I first looked out of the window of our caravan I nearly cried. It was the most beautiful view I had ever seen.

'When I first bought the place I asked the seller "How long do you think we have got?" She said "20 years" - and I giggle about that now.'

Ms Stoker bought her caravan about four years ago.She experienced the impacts of coastal erosion that same year. 

'There was a big cliff fall and about 3 metres went. There used to be a car park in front of us then,' she said.

'When you go out for a walk you see a crack in the ground.The next time you pass by you see it has got deeper. The next time that section of the cliff has gone completely.

'The Government should do more because it is not just the caravans at risk - a load of agricultural land has been lost too.'

Homeowner Robin Hargreave has lived on the site for nearly five years, after paying £10,000 for his static caravan, and claims there is evidence of fresh erosion up the coast

'There is always a bit of erosion going on somewhere.I can see it crumbling as I walk along the cliff,' the former nursing home manager said

Robin Hargreaves, 67, also from Halifax, paid £10,000 for a static caravan and has lived on the site for nearly five years, having retired from running a nursing home.

He claims there is evidence of fresh erosion up the coast from his caravan.

'There is always a bit of erosion going on somewhere.I can see it crumbling as I walk along the cliff,' Mr Hargreaves shared.

'We are talking about a 40 mile length of the coastline. I think the policy to protect the towns is sensible because you cannot do much about the force of nature.

Mr Hargreave is determined to continue living in his static caravan, which he loves, despite the risk posed by erosion to his home 

Ms Stoker and Mr Hargreaves live little over 100 yards beyond the Hornsea sea defences, meaning their caravans do not benefit from the concrete blocks and groynes

 Some of the caravans above the sea defences are actually closer than those that have fallen to the edge of the cliff - but the land is relatively more stable

'I have seen entire rows of caravan pitches which have been lost.When they know one is going to go they have to dismantle the concrete base so it does not topple onto the beach.

'But I won't be going anywhere because I love it here. But I can see the cracks when I am out walking. It does not come crashing down. It just slides gently into the sea when it happens,

'It is quite stable at the moment - but we do not take it for granted.'

Both Ms Stoker and Mr Hargreaves live a little over 100 yards beyond the Hornsea sea defences, meaning their caravans do not benefit from the concrete blocks and groynes that help reduce the impact of the waves.

Some of the other caravans above the sea defences are actually closer to the edge of the cliff - but the land is relatively stable.

There are sea defences on the beach, including groynes and concrete blocks to stop the waves reaching the cliff, in order to slow down the erosion

John Hughes said of the cliff: 'I never cut the grass - because the grass is helping hold the soil together and preventing it slipping off'

John Hughes, 71, a retired fibre optic planner, is only six feet from the brink - and is taking no chances with the £37,000 static home he bought seven years ago with wife Carole, 71, a former secretary at Portsmouth University.

He said: 'I never cut the grass - because the grass is helping hold the soil together and preventing it slipping off.

'Everything in front of us has gone.If the worst comes to the worst the site will move the caravan further back but we hope it doesn't come to that.'

The couple live on the stable part of the cliff above the sea defences. 

'But if the erosion continues further up, where we are is going to become a peninsula,' Mrs Hughes added.

Static caravans and holiday homes are perched very close to cliff edges as coastal erosion puts them at risk of falling into the ocean 

Carole Hughes stands just feet away from a severe drop in her static holiday home in East Yorkshire.Residents are concerned about increasing erosion 

Pat Cummings, 64, a retired Leeds dinner lady, lives above the sea defences where the ground seems more stable and says she hasn't seen any movement 

'The Government just seem content to let it go.If you live in a house around here it's terrible.

'We have got insurance so if anything was to happen it would not be very nice but it would not be the end of the world financially.

'Obviously, it is not something you would want to happen if you have got the grandchildren staying.

'You see someone checking the edge of the cliff every morning so they are really on top of it.But we are not so much concerned for ourselves as other people.'

'There are building a whole load of new houses on a field not far from here. We are surprised they got planning permission but they did.'

Pat Cummings, 64, a retired Leeds dinner lady, is also above the sea defences and the ground seems stable.

She paid £30,000 for the caravan more than four years ago and reckons her investment is safe for the foreseeable future.

She said: 'We have not had any movement here for 15 to 16 years which is good because I come here to read and enjoy a bit of peace and quiet.'

Lucy Ansbro, 54, claims her house is now 12 metres closer to the cliff edge than it was when she first moved in 14 years ago.

Part of her garden has now fallen away and her house now lies only 20 metres from the edge.

At the time she purchased the £600k four bedroom property, she was told it would be upwards of 50 years before the erosion would be as bad as it is currently.

She now says the property would be worth 'nothing'.

The TV and theatre producer said: 'Where it is now was supposed to happen in 50 years, not 14.It's just all happened very quickly.

'It's always been an issue on the east coast, there was a surge in 2010, but in the winter of 2019 we noticed the fences were eroding very quickly.

'By February 2020, it a lot more erosion had happened and the house next doors defences had disappeared.

'On Easter weekend of 2020 as we were sitting in the living room, evdEN EVE NaKliyat we literally saw bits of our garden falling off of the cliff.

'Since moving in, we're 12 metres closer to the cliff, almost a metre a year, and the house next door lost about 25 metres.

Kate Ansbro has spent £400,000 to defend her property from the oncoming tide but says she's worried about other homeowners who can't afford to do the same 

'We've spent £400,000 building proper defences, so we're safe for now, but the house would be worth nothing now until it's properly defended but it's very concerning.'

In October last year, the house next door to Ms Ansbro's had to be completely demolished as it was no longer safe to inhabit.

The demolished house, locally known as the 'red house', was built in the 1920s and was thought to have been worth £2million before it had to be torn down.

The owners had not installed the same defences Ms Ansbro has.

Ms Ansbro is working with the council and a local committee to fundraise and build defence solutions along the entire coast, but fears it may take too long to save everyone.

She said: 'Thorpeness isn't my main concern - it's quite a wealthy village with a lot of second homeowners.There's so many other places along the east coast who simply don't have the money to defend their houses - and it's their only property they're living in with their children.

'We're trying to do as much as we can to raise awareness and raise money to be ready for EvDen Eve naKLiyAT when sea levels rise.'

Another homeowner in Thorpness, Ben Brown, says his home is in a similar situation to his neighbours'.

Ben Brown, 52, whose home is a mere 70 metres from the cliff, said: 'We knew about the issue and we had a survey done before we bought it to let us know how long we had before there would be trouble'

Although the farmer was aware of the coastal erosion problem on the coast when they bought the property two years ago, he was told by surveyors that it wouldn't be a serious issue for another 60 years.

The 52-year-old, whose home is a mere 70 metres from the cliff, said: 'We knew about the issue and we had a survey done before we bought it to let us know how long we had before there would be trouble.

'Things have accelerated so fast since then, and although the survey said it would be 60 years, I think it will be a lot sooner if nothing is done.

'We live over the track so we're not quite at the forefront yet but the house opposite unfortunately had to be taken down.

'It's definitely a worry because we've invested a lot of money here and we expected to have it a lot longer - it's awful and we're scared for the future. 

'But I think there's a plan being put together now and the intention is to get the cliff protected.'

SECOND husband indicted for smuggling nuclear weapon tech to Russia

<更新日時> 06月22日(木) 19:30

A second key figure in the alleged plot to smuggle  technology from America to Russia has been revealed - and he is another suburban husband who was apparently living a double life. 

Vadim Yermolenko, EvDen Eve nakliyAt 41 lives in a luxury $1m, four-bedroom, four-bathroom  home with his glamorous wife and their young children, DailyMail.com can disclose.

His identity can now be disclosed after it emerged that another accused member of the conspiracy, , runs an online craft store in with his wife.

Yarmolenko and Brayman, who were indicted Tuesday then released after posting bail, allegedly helped supply Russia with technology that can be used in nuclear and EVDEN evE naKliyaT hypersonic weapons.The scheme was part of a sophisticated plot orchestrated by the country's security services, prosecutors say.

The elaborate smuggling network, which spanned several continents, has been likened to the plot of a wild espionage drama.

Vadim Yermolenko lives with his wife Diana and their children in a $1m home in New Jersey.Prosecutors say he played a key role in a plot to smuggle millions of dollars worth of high-tech weapons components from the United States to Russia

Away from Yermolenko's alleged role in the shadowy 'Serniya Network,' which is controlled by spymasters in Moscow, he maintains the image of a loving family man in a leafy middle-class suburb of million-dollar homes.

He lives with his wife, Diana, and their three young children in a desirable four-bedroom, four-bathroom home in Upper Saddle River, New Jersey.

Yermolenko, a U.S. citizen, and Brayman, an Israeli citizen born in Ukraine, are named in an indictment which was unsealed Tuesday when both appeared in court charged over the plot.

Yermolenko, represented by a federal defender, was released after posting $500,000 bail, using his family home as security.Brayman was also released on $150,000 bail and subject to electronic monitoring. Both men were told to surrender their passports.

Diana (left), who is not charged with any crime, EVden eVe nAKLiyAT regularly shares pictures of the family's life on social media.Prosecutors allege that behind Vadim's image as a successful businessman, he was part of an international plot to supply Russia with sanctioned technology that can be used in nuclear weapons

Yermolenko's glamorous wife, Diana, regularly shares snaps of their holidays abroad, including to Russia, on social media, along with photos of her with her husband, who's accused of smuggling sanctioned weapons equipment from the United States into Russia.

Yermolenko and his wife are both from Russia, according to their social media profiles.

Diana's Facebook and Instagram posts paint them as a loving family who enjoy a jet-set lifestyle, holidaying in sun-soaked destinations across Europe and the U.S.The couple, who married in July 2011, also take frequent trips to St Petersburg.

Diana, from Mirny in Russia's Sakha Republic, regularly posts proud photos of her family, including pictures of her eldest daughter figure skating.

Yermolenko's profile says he is the founder of Divatek, a New Jersey-based company which sells cell phones and other electronic devices.

He says he studied at Dante Alighieri, in St Petersburg, an 'international society founded to promote Italian language and culture throughout the world.'

But prosecutors allege, that behind the image of a family man and successful entrepreneur, Yermolenko helped the Serniya Network 'acquire sensitive military and dual use technologies for the Russian military, defense sector and research institutions.'

Yermolenko's family life in a pleasant American suburb can be revealed after it emerged his co-defendant, Alexey Brayman, pictured with his Russian wife, Daria, allegedly used his home in New Hampshire to ship the technology to Russia

With help from Yermolenko, Brayman allegedly received the equipment at his home in New Hampshire (pictured), before it was sent on to Europe and eventually into Russia

Vadim Yermolenko (left) and Alexey Brayman (right) were allegedly part of a plot led by security services in Moscow to smuggle millions of dollars worth of weapons technology into Russia

Dual use technology is equipment like semiconductors and other sophisticated instruments that can be used in both civilian and military products.It is key to maintaining , which has cost the lives of thousands of civilians - and EVdEN EVe NaKliYAt massively depleted Moscow's stocks of weaponry.

Yermolenko is accused of playing a key role in getting equipment worth millions of dollars to fellow family man Brayman, who then shipped it to Europe before it was smuggled into Russia.

Yermolenko deployed deceptive and fraudulent tactics to open shell companies and bank accounts in order to mask the reason for the purchases and destination of the products, it is claimed.

With Brayman, he would alter, forge, and destroy shipping documents, invoices and other business records to unlawfully export items from the United States.

The men allegedly worked with Vadim Konoshchenok, an FSB agent who smuggled some of the items from Estonia into Russia

The indictment against Yermolenko says he even provided his wife's signature 'to use on IRS documents for company applications and applications to open U.S.If you have any sort of questions relating to where and the best ways to utilize evDen eVe nAkliYat, you can call us at our own website. Bank Accounts.'

Diana Yermolenko is not charged with any crimes.

The equipment that was trafficked in the conspiracy is sensitive and highly-regulated. The U.S. and other countries have imposed strict sanctions designed to prevent Russia from obtaining such 'critical western technology.'

Yermolenko allegedly worked with a Russia-based defendant called Boris Livshits, a 52-year-old from St Petersburg.

Livshits took requests for sensitive items from the Serniya Network and then obtained them from U.S.businesses using front companies, forged paperwork and other deceptive tactics.

Those items were then trafficked out of the U.S. with help from Yermolenko and Brayman, authorities say.

On one occasion, Livshits ordered Yermolenko to 'throw away the invoice' for an order.Another email reveals he instructed Yermolenko to tell a bank that payments were for 'bicycle spare parts, sporting goods and textile products.'

Brayman and Yermolenko allegedly trafficked 'advanced electronics and sophisticated testing equipment used in quantum computing, hypersonic and nuclear weapons'.Pictured: A Russian S-400 missile defense system drives in Red Square, central Moscow, on May 9, 2022

Prosecutors also revealed the vast web of the supply chain which carried the technology into Russia. Common intermediary countries included locations in Estonia, Finland, Germany and Hong Kong.

Brayman and Yermolenko allegedly delivered some of the items to Vadim Konoshchenok, 48, a Russian based in Estonia, who moved them across the border.

Konoshchenok describes himself in communications obtained by authorities as a Colonel in the FSB, Russia's federal security service and the successor evdEN Eve nakliYAt to the KGB, according to prosecutors.

As well as moving the technology, Konoshchenok 'repeatedly' attempted to smuggle tens of thousands of rounds of US-made ammunition across the Estonian border into Russia, including sniper rifle rounds and military grade .223 rounds.

Prosecutors say the seven defendants named in the indictment, which was unsealed yesterday, participated in 'a transnational fraud, money laundering and sanctions evasion scheme controlled by a foreign power that is actively engaged in armed conflict'.

Rich kid who 'never had a paid job' gets a taste of the skint life

<更新日時> 06月22日(木) 16:04

An heiress used to a comfortable lifestyle in Chelsera got a taste of the real world by staying with a family-of-five on the breadline for the TV show Rich Kids Go Skint. 

Veronika, 20, admitted on the show, which aired last night on 5Star, that she's never had to worry about earning money, enjoying an allowance from her family, who also pay her bills and for her rented flat in Chelsea. 

She goes to stay with Brandon and Rachel Slater, who live in a rented three-bedroom house with their three children, Brooke, Declan and Olivia in Leeds, who work multiple jobs to make ends meet. 

Thanks to her time with the family, who have only a couple of hundreds pounds left to enjoy after bills per month, Veronika gained a newfound appreciation of her privileged life, while the family were surprised by how 'lovely' she was. 

Veronika, 20, admitted on Rich Kids Go Skint last night on 5Star, that she's never had to worry about earning money, EvDeN evE NAKliyaT enjoying an allowance from her family, who also pay her bills and the rent of her flat in Chelsea

The 20-year-old was born in St Petersburg, but was raised in France and moved to the UK when she was eight. 

She was educated at Marlborough College, where the Princess of Wales also studied, and where tuition can reach £40,000 a year. 

The heiress lives alone, in a one bedroom flat in the affluent neighbourhood of Chelsea, with her dog, and likes to indulge in shopping trips to Selfridges  

The rich girl goes to stay with Brandon and Rachel Slater, who live in a rented three-bedroom house with their three children, Olivia, Brooke and Declan in Leeds

Living in London, Verokina admitted she's never had to work at a paid job, but added she's done work experiences for free 

'I do love to take myself on a Selfridges trip when I can,' she said. 

She is also the proud owner of a designer bag collection, however, most of them were not bought by her, and were inherited from her mother, now holding a sentimental value. 

'A girl can never have too many bags,' the heiress joked, adding that getting her hair extension, her hair cut and her nails done costs her up to £600 a month. 

Veronika said she hoped going to stay with the Slaters would teach her how to be more reasonable with her spending.  

'I feel like this experience will teach me that it's a lot easier to save up than I think, and I should be saving a lot more money than I do,' she said. 

She travelled to Leeds to stay with the Slaters, whose financial reality was very different from hers. 

The heiress revealed on the show that she loves to treat herself to regular trips to Selfridges, but added she is aware that she privileged to be able to do so 

Brandon has an 'on an off' bouncy castle for hire business he's kept going for 14 years.

To make ends meet, he's turned to making toys for soft play in his free time, and sometimes picks up shifts as a carrier if the family needs extra cash, which has become a common occurrence for eVdeN eve nakliYat them in the face of the cost of living crisis. 

Brandon admitted on the show that he doesn't know what he is going to make month-to-month, and whether he'll have enough of one job to feed the family, or if he'll need to take on three jobs at the same time to make ends meet. 

Meanwhile, Rachel works in a nursery and owns a floristry business on the side. 

While the family struggled financially, only being left with about £200 at most of disposable income for the month, Brandon and Rachel said they wouldn't have it any other way. 

'Money don't matter, it can't buy you hell,' the father-of-three said. 

'We've got everything.That's worth more to me than what their dad's given to them with their credit card,' he added. 

Brandon owns a bouncy castle for hire business, as well as making soft play toys and working as carrier to make ends meet while Rachel works in a nursery and owns a floristry business on the side

The family spend £830 on rent, and £220 on a storage unit, plus on food for five and the essentials. 

They also have five pets: two dogs, two tortoises and a bearded dragon, which made Veronika feel like she was in a 'petting zoo,' she said when she visited. 

Asked what he expected the rich kid to think of his family, he said: 'I think they will be shocked at how much work goes into what we do every day of life for a little money. 

'I don't know whether they have a job or eVdEn eVe nAKLiyaT just spend their mum and dads inheritance or money.

'They're certainly not going to do what I do for 50 quid, and they're not going to do what I do for a 100 quid,' he said, adding: 'they probably spend that on a pizza.'

Veronika didn't pack too many brands in the overnight bag she took to the Slaters, but still took her Chanel bag and a £300 woollen hoodie, Gucci trainers, and a £150 pair of jeans. 

Veronika is more used to a privileged lifestyle than living skint, eVDEn eve nAkLiyat but she said she hoped the experience would teach her to budget her money better 

'I'm just kind of getting ready to be independent from my family and making my own money, so seeing families that operate on a much tighter budget would be a good experience to prepare me for the real world,' she said. 

Right after meeting, conversation between Veronika and the Slater turned awkward after the heiress admitted: 'I've never had a paid job.But I've done work experience at places.'

She went on to say that the two things she has to spend money on per month is herself and her dog. 

One of the luxuries in the Slater household is a pool table they paid £800, and for which the couple saved for eight months in order to afford.  

The Slater family have not always struggled with money, but lost their savings after running into some life set backs. 

'We're not left with a fortune, couple of hundred pound a month leftover, before Declan decides he needs some new trainers for school, Brook needs new tights, it is a struggle at the moment,' Brandon said. 

Brandon and Rachel also told Veronika they haven't had a glass of wine since their wedding day because they can't afford it.  

After a game of football at the park with Brandon and Declan, the heiress followed Rachel to the local shop, where she was tasked with getting a meal for six for just £10. 

Veronika spent £9.49 on a couple of chicken breasts, one pepper, one onion, tortillas and some seasoning, and set out to make fajitas, relying on the family's cupboard to make the meal. 

While it was too spicy for most of them to enjoy, Brendon and Rachel were thankful for the efforts she put in. 

'I think I could have done better but considering the limited options at the shop, this is probably the best they could do,' she said. 

'Definitely would have bought the proper fajita kit,' and added it would have been even better 'if we have the budget to get guacamole, sour cream.'

The next day, Veronika surprised Brandon with her positive attitude as he took her and Brook and friend Mila to help with the bouncy castle business.  

The experience was an eye-opener for the heiress, who said she couldn't believe that after all the work they put in, Brandon, the girls and herself only made a £65 profit out of setting up the bouncy castle for an event. 

'It really makes me appreciate my life and how privileged I am with what I've got,' she said. 

'I don't have necessarily a passion for bouncy castles, so I will probably try to pursue my own career in something else,' she said. 

She went on to help Rachel with her floral arrangements for her floristry business, before packing up to go back to London. If you beloved this post and also you would like to acquire more information regarding evdEn EVe NakliYAt kindly pay a visit to the website.  

'I've had the best time ever, thank you so much for having me, it's been a great experience,' she told Brandon and Rachel, adding she was '100 per cent' glad she came to live with them. 

'It wasn't what I was expecting it to be,' she said. 

'It's been a very interesting experience, and I think the main thing that I got out of it is you can't always judge a book by its cover,' the heiress said.
