An Italian restaurant chain has abruptly shut 13 underperforming
locations across the US. 

Buca di Beppo, known for its family-style dishes and vintage décor,
permanently closed restaurants in California and Florida and its last
remaining locations in Michigan and Pennsylvania in the last week.

Former employees at some eateries, many of which have been open for
over two decades, said the closure came as a shock. 

'It's very disheartening to have everything come to an end,' Rozalyn
Marc-Aurele, who worked at a restaurant in Sacramento, California,
for four years, told FOX40.

It comes amid a slew of restaurant closures across the US, as soaring
food inflation and inflated running costs continue to hit
small and mid-size chains.

A 2020 report confirms the often-repeated statistic that 50% of
all marriages in the United States now end in divorce. However, some communities are
harder-hit by this epidemic than others, and the entertainment community
bears more than its fair share of shattered nuptials. But this is not simply because there
is a high number of divorced entertainers. Rather, there are entertainers
who have divorced a high number of times, with some racking up as many as four,
five or even six divorces or more.

The couple's divorce documents 'are finalized, but not yet turned in', multiple
sources have claimed. The news follows Affleck buying a new $20.5 million 'bachelor
pad' mansion in the Pacific Palisades on Wednesday, July 24,
the day Lopez turned 55. Friends of Lopez's claimed Affleck's sudden bachelor
pad purchase on her birthday had been a 'stab to the heart'.

The obesity crisis in the U.S. has been laid bare by new analysis of official figures
that reveals which states have the most overweight residents. Obesity
rates in the U.S. continue to concern clinicians, although the nation sits outside the global
top ten, which is dominated by island nations in the South Pacific.
According to the Centers for Disease Control, obesity costs the U.S. healthcare system
nearly $173 billion annually, and the figure is only rising as Americans get heftier.

From the Costco food court to the streets of New York to the ball game, hot dogs are
an American food staple. They can be made of many different types of meat, and
cooked in ways that change the texture or taste. When it's not possible
to get the actual fair or street version, you can cook them at home in the microwave,
on the grill or the stovetop. Fortunately, most states also have a
must-try hot dog spot to help you curve that craving.

Suni Lee poured gasoline on the fire after Simone Biles fired a shot across the bow of a
former American Olympic teammate following the team’s gold medal win at the
Paris Olympics. Biles posted a collage of photos on Instagram showing her
and her teammates carrying the American flag across the floor to celebrate their gold
medal victory in the team final. In her post on Instagram, Biles did not
mince words. "Lack of talent, lazy, Olympic champions," she wrote.

“Water is essential for your body’s survival,” says Crystal Scott, registered dietitian
-nutritionist with Top Nutrition Coaching. “It helps regulate your
temperature, transports nutrients, removes waste, lubricates your joints and
tissues, and it also plays a crucial role in maintaining the delicate balance of
electrolytes and fluids in your body.”

“I got a bead on her. Like a sniper rifle. A sniper rifle. And I’m gonna kill her next week.
I’m gonna murder her,” he said on one call. On another, he told the staffer answering
the call that he would kill them as well. Cirillo now faces up to five years in prison.
“Threatening to kill a public official is reprehensible,” said US Attorney Ryan
Buchanan. “Our office will not tolerate any form of violence, threats or intimidation
against public officials.

Some domestic cats regard parked convertibles as feline hammocks,
a great place to nap while depositing furry evidence. Pro detailing tip: Stash one of
those sticky lint rollers in the glove box alongside the sunblock,
bandana, and hairbrush. Especially if the convertible has a nice fabric top like
that on the BMW 228i tested here. Pet hair clings
to this quality woven fabric more than it does to cheaper vinyl tops.


The Mazda CX-90 replaced the CX-9 last year, and with the changeover the brand moved
its mid-size three-row SUV significantly upscale. The CX-90's premium-
brand ambitions may be an extension of a theme begun with the compact CX-50,
but the SUV's new architecture and inline-six-cylinder
powertrains represent a break from previous Mazdas. The new platform emulates
the layout of BMWs and Land Rovers and affords the CX-90 its handsome
profile, with a long hood and set-back passenger cabin. The engine is offered in
standard turbocharged 3.3-liter form, making either 280 or 340 horsepower, or as
a plug-in hybrid (reviewed separately).

Employing a United States sample of 5,810 Yahoo heterosexual internet dating
profiles, this study finds race–ethnicity and gender influence body type
preferences for dates, with men and whites significantly more likely
than women and non-whites to have such preferences. White males are more likely
than non-white men to prefer to date thin and toned women, while African-
American and Latino men are significantly more likely than white men to
prefer female dates with thick or large bodiesd.

The main benefits of Thai massage are: Improved flexibility and range of muscle
movement through assisted stretching Blood flow is increased, and circulation
assisted Release of physical tension to relieve aches and pains
Release of emotional tension held within the body, combating stress and providing a
feeling of relaxation.

The technique that Thai massage practitioners use is very different from what people
in the West may be accustomed to. Unlike Swedish or shiatsu massage techniques,
in which a person passively lies on a bed, the client lies on the floor and
participates more actively in the massage. This article will look at the benefits of
Thai massage, how it can help athletes, and some of the side effects that
people may experience.

Women’s shaving practices are evolving, with trends and preferences varying widely
based on individual needs and lifestyle factors. Multi-blade razors
are a popular choice among women, most likely for their ability to provide a closer shave.
Innovative ergonomic designs make them great for shaving areas like
the legs, underarms and bikini line. Furthermore, shaving creams and gels that are
formulated with moisturizing ingredients are becoming increasingly popular.

The world of beauty and cosmetics is often a place where the lines between
myths and facts become blurred. We know that this can be really
confusing, and some may have adopted certain hacks or myths into their routines
that actually don’t hold any truth. With the explosion of beauty
influencers across our favorite social media platforms, and the emergence of
beauty “experts”, it becomes increasingly difficult to
distinguish between what’s fact and fiction.

At this point, it’s no secret that for many people with vaginas, penetration alone is
not enough to have an orgasm or even pleasurable sexual experience.
While, fortunately, we’re moving in the right direction in terms of acknowledging
that all parties involve should enjoy themselves, what we consider “sex” (penis-in-
vagina intercourse) is still very penis-centric. There’s still the idea that if there happens
to be clitoral stimulation, great! But that’s a bonus more than an expected outcome.

“Intercourse” refers to a penis thrusting into a vagina, whereas “sex” has a
much wider definition, incorporating oral and manual stimulation,
play involving toys or other aids, erotic touch, mutual masturbation — a whole range
of intimacy. So, when we’re talking about these “best sex position for female
orgasm” articles, by and large, we’re dealing with intercourse specifically.
Masturbation Comes With Some Serious Health Benefits. Dr. Laurie Mintz’s
revolutionary book "Becoming Cliterate", also calls for us to pay closer attention to
the word “foreplay,” which typically is seen — and defined — as the “erotic stimulation
preceding intercourse,” or more generally, something that happens before an event.

She goes on to cite a study in which people age 18 through 29 were asked what
counted as sex or not, which found that approximately two-thirds
of the men didn’t consider cunnilingus “actual sex.” This doesn’t bode well for their
sexual partners for a number of reasons, only one of which
is that the way a significant number of people with vulvas and clitorises consistently
reach orgasm was dismissed by them as just “foreplay.” Getting back
to those “best sex position” articles, not only are they discounting anything
beyond intercourse as actual sex.

Why the Pleasure Gap Is a Gender-Equality Issue. Women reported feeling
sexiest when they wore lingerie followed by when they engage in dirty talk with their
partner, practice BDSM, do role-playing and incorporate spanking.
So what does all of this mean? Pleasurable sex can mean a lot of different things to
different people, but it’s definitely time we look beyond just
trying to squeeze out an orgasm from traditional penis-in-vagina, man-on-top
missionary sex.

For starters, you can do a few things to your room and for your body for optimal summer
sex success: Keep a fan by your bed, crack open a window,
or have your AC set to a temperature that feels right to both you and your partner. You
need extra hydration in the summer, so make sure to
hydrate with plenty of water before, after, and even during sex if you’re
feeling parched. And if you start to get fatigued or things
get too sticky with your bodies pressed up against each other, have a favorite
toy or two at the ready to swap in.
