The Worst Fashion Combinations

We have all had a look through the photo albums and often wondered what on earth we were thinking when we decided that floral jumper looked great with the leopard print leggings. Interestingly money doesn't buy you style and it's often celebrities that end up putting together some of the worst fashion combinations. Here are a few pointers to help you know what to avoid. Just because it's hot on the catwalk doesn't mean it's going to look good on you, remember many fashion designers about push boundaries and concept design. Don't mix denim with denim, it didn't look good in the 80's and it won't look good now, look to combine denim skirts, jeans and jackets with other solid colors and if you have to wear darker denim washes, you don't want to look like you are wearing a denim suit.

The New Bills Stadium Is One Of The Worst Deals For Taxpayers I’ve Ever Seen – I’ve Studied Stadium Financing For Over Two Decades

After New York lawmakers blew past the deadline to approve the state budget, they finally came to an agreement on April 9, 2022, that included a US$850 million subsidy for a new stadium in Buffalo for the NFL’s Bills.

COVID-19 New Treatments May Stave Off The Worst Effects Of The Virus

Patrick Jackson, University of Virginia Even with three highly effective vaccines available in abundance throughout the country, the delta variant of SARS-CoV-2 continues to cause a large number of new infections, particularly in states where vaccination rates remain low. What’s more, as schools and businesses reopen and the holiday season approaches, another rise in infections may be on the way. There is, however, some good news. Numerous medications, including fledgling and repurposed drugs, are accessible. For hospitalized COVID-19 patients, these new treatments, along with supportive care advances – such as placing some patients on their stomachs in a “prone position” – were helping bring down mortality rates before the Delta variant hit and are continuing to improve patient outcomes...

Silicon Valley’s worst enemy gains even more power in Brussels

Margrethe Vestager has been accused of deliberately targeting tech firms in antitrust probes. The regulator who's made a name for herself by cracking down on tech giants is about to get even more power. Margrethe Vestager was picked Tuesday by EU Commission President-elect Ursula von der Leyen to be her executive vice president in charge of the bloc's digital affairs - a post that will hand the Dane broad oversight of issues relating to artificial intelligence, big data, innovation and cybersecurity. Even more concerning for those hoping to avoid a billion-dollar fine, Vestager will also keep her job as one of the most feared antitrust regulators. She squeezed huge penalties out of Apple Inc. and Google, rousing wrathful tweets from U.S. President Donald Trump...
