The pandemic means many children will have spent the best part of a year interacting much less than normal with teachers, friends and family. One of the big questions is how this will have changed the way they have learned to speak. Have lockdown and other COVID-19 measures affected how children acquire the speech and language skills so vital to their academic and social development? And if children's speech has been held back, what can parents do about it?
A recent survey of schools and parents, conducted by the Education Endowment Foundation, has found that children who started school in autumn 2020 needed more support than in previous years.
The findings suggest that the greatest area of concern was communication and language development, in which 96% (55 out of 57) of schools said they were either "very concerned" or "quite concerned". Close behind were personal, social and emotional development (91%) and literacy (89%), skills which are heavily reliant on the development of strong speech, language and communication abilities.
Impact of lockdowns
Parents have done an amazing job through the pandemic to keep their children safe and healthy. Having few activities available to them and restrictions on seeing extended family has been a challenge for many.
But this has reduced children's exposure to new vocabulary – to words we might use when we visit the farm, say, or go to see grandma. This is important as we know that vocabulary levels at age two predict children's performance at school entry, which itself is predictive of later outcomes.
Impact of mask wearing
Widespread mask wearing during the pandemic has also made us realise how much we rely on lipreading. Not being able to see lips move during speech, combined with the dampening effect that wearing a mask has on the sound produced, has made it difficult for us to understand what other people are saying. This is particularly a problem for the many children who experience glue ear, which can lead to temporary hearing loss, in early and middle childhood.
In school and pre-school, children may struggle to differentiate between similar sounds, such as "p" and "t", when their teacher is wearing a mask. That can impact on a child's speech development or their phonological awareness, which is the ability to break down words into speech sounds to assist with early reading and spelling acquisition.
Masks also obscure facial expression, which contributes to how we understand the meaning behind the words we hear. When this is taken away, not only is the potential for misunderstanding (and mislearning) increased but there can also be an impact on children's development of social and emotional skills.
Access to therapy
While lockdown has affected opportunities to promote speech and language development for all children, those who were already most at risk are likely to have been disproportionately affected. Many of these will be children who require speech and language therapy.
A report by the Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists found that 62% of children who needed speech and language therapy (from a survey of over 400 parents) received none during the first lockdown. Where possible, services were provided remotely. However, the same survey found that 19% of children did not like having speech and language therapy on video, while 12% could not cooperate with it.
Children born with cleft palate are one of several groups at high risk of problems with speech development. To investigate the impact of the first lockdown, researchers at the University of Bristol asked parents of children affected by this condition about how effective remote speech and language therapy provision had been.
Of 212 responses, 26% reported it was very effective while the remainder said it was somewhat effective (67%) or not at all effective (8%). Some parents reported that they felt the video appointments were "better than nothing".
What can be done to help?
There are several key things that parents can do to support their child in learning to speak. From day one, talk to your baby about whatever they show an interest in. Use simple sentences and make your voice sound interesting by using lots of intonation and facial expression. Babies and toddlers like and need lots of repetition so if your child is looking at a bus then say lots about the bus, describing what it looks like, talking about how it moves and saying the word "bus" over and over again.
The same principles apply as children get older. Talk to them about the things which interest them. Respond to what your child says and does, so that they start to link words and sentences with meaning. Now that restrictions are easing, look for opportunities to develop your child's vocabulary by visiting places such as libraries, city farms, parks and gardens and meeting up with friends and family.
For more ideas and support, organisations such as I CAN, the children's communication charity, of which I am a trustee), have developed resources for parents to help pre-schoolers and primary-aged children with their speaking and listening. The Talking Point website is another source of information for both parents and professionals who may be worried about a child's speech and language development.
Most children will respond quickly. But for those who continue to struggle, talking to a health visitor or teacher and a speech and language therapist will help determine whether more support is needed.

From Tiffany & Co. to Fendi, dabbling into the F&B sector has multiple benefits for luxury goods brands. We analyse this strategy which is proving to be a win-win for all people involved.
By: Jyoti Das
Posted on: August 8, 2023
The greatest playwright of all time, George Bernard Shaw, once said, "There is no sincere love than the love for food." Culinary experiences alongside luxury shopping are the emerging multi-sensory need of the millennials and Gen Z customers. Can gourmet food, haute cuisine, upscale fine dining, and expensive and rare spirits housed and served by a luxury brand enhance buying motivation? Luxury brands certainly think so. Such collaborations create multi-sensory customer interactions leading to memorable buying-induced desires for their core categories.
Say yes, please!
The relationship between style and taste could work because the combination of delectable food and luxury goods aims to provide excellent products, memorable experiences, hedonism, and a compelling story. It creates a communication grapevine matrix and a word-of-mouth spread about the brand. However, it's not that new. The initial traces were found in 1998 when Giorgio Armani launched the Emporio Armani Caffé in Paris. He wanted a "new concept to offer clients a break from shopping or a place for lunch or a drink after work," as Mr. Armani told Forbes.
The Emporio Armani Caffe in Dubai.
Luxury fashion brands are either getting into the hospitality and restaurant business as an extension by tying up with celebrity chefs, or at least adding a coffee and cocktail bar in their flagship boutiques. Brands want to deepen their customer engagement while offering hospitality concepts. It's a natural experiential extension for established luxury and fashion brands to influence new purchase motivations.
With Asians proving to be more value-driven, such concepts are being developed more in Asia than in the West. In early 2020, Louis Vuitton was one of the first luxury fashion brands to get off the blocks with their restaurants Le Café V, Ginza, and Sugalabo V in their existing store in Osaka, Japan. In collaboration with Chef Yosuke Suga, customers were served a menu boasting traditional French cuisine with a Japanese heritage weaved around it. Le Café V is a terrace Bar where customers can leisurely spend some extra time while shopping for the brand's accessories and products.
Louis Vuitton's St. Tropez restaurant.
Expanding its repertoire of culinary offerings, in May 2023, Louis Vuitton, in collaboration with three-star Michelin Chef Yannick Alleno, launched its extravagant airport lounge turned restaurant at Hamad International Airport in Doha. The airport also hosts Ralph Lauren's Ralph Coffee and a Harrods Tea Room.
Louis Vuitton also opened its first standalone restaurant in Saint Tropez, helmed by Michelin-starred Chef Mory Sacko, to offer a rare gastronomic experience to its customers. The Louis Vuitton signature style can be seen on exterior and interior designs, furniture, and wall décor of the restaurant. This summer, Michelin-starred chef Arnaud Donckele and pastry chef Maxime Fredric have become associated with the Saint Tropez restaurant.
Jacquemas' Citron Cafe.
Louis Vuitton is not the only one with such vast culinary offerings. Christian Dior launched Monsieur Dior, their iconic restaurant, at the 30 Montaigne store in Paris, in 2022. It embodies the French art of living in collaboration with Chef Jean Imbert and Chef Antony Clemot. The menu is designed basis the history and heritage of the maison, including inspiration from the favorite cuisines of the founding father of Dior.
Gucci has made forays into the culinary space too to enhance its brand desirability. The Gucci Osteria, a restaurant in collaboration with Michelin-starred Chef Massimo Bottura, Chef- Owner of Italy's famed Osteria Francescana, is housed in the iconic Gucci Store located at the historic 14th century Palazzo della Mercanzia in Florence's Piazza Signoria. Gucci Osteria opened its doors in Los Angeles and Tokyo, followed by the fourth in March 2022 in the Gucci Gaok Store in Seoul.
Prada's cafe in London.
Hermes' new flagship store at 706 Madison Avenue, New York City, is an 1880 sq. m. four-floor store with a rooftop garden. The store harbors a Coffee and Champagne Bar. The 4th floor houses the brand's women's handbags, its signature product category, and a full bar alongside a rooftop terrace. The store is Hermes' first to have dedicated butler service. So ordering a cappuccino is easy. There are lounge areas to relax and extend your store visit for a while.
Galeries Lafayette's flagship store in Champs Elysees now includes Jacquemus' Citron Café. Prada launched a lifestyle pop-up café at Harrods in London with the brand's signature mint green hue interiors.
One more, please!
The Tiffany Blue Box Cafe in New York.
From haute couture to hot cuisine, luxury fashion brands blend food, art and fashion to deliver the experience of luxury. Luxury brands are using culinary ventures to enhance their brand decibels. These gastronomic experiences not only serve to provide some refreshing respite to patrons as they shop (or travel), but also extend their universe with a promise of the brand's trademark standards, aesthetics, and values. Its rare spirits, innovative dishes, and interior designs communicate the brand's heritage and character.
Watch and jewellery brands are not immune to this strategy as well. Tiffany & Co., in its flagship store in Huaihai, China, has the Tiffany Blue Box Café, and the Petrossian at Tiffany & Co. in Costa Mesa, California. The redesigned flagship store of Tiffany & Co. on Fifth Avenue in New York now hosts its Blue Box café on the sixth floor, led by celebrity Chef Daniel Boulud.
Luxury brands' entrance into the F&B sector is also one way of exposing young consumers to their brand early on. Because if you can't afford a €1,500 worth handbag yet, you can certainly luxuriate with a €20 Armani Side cocktail.
Bvlgari an early entrant into the hospitality business, with hotels in Milan, London, Beijing, Shanghai, Dubai, Bali, Paris, Tokyo and now Rome, also has its standalone restaurants in Japan.
Diversification is a huge motivation for brands to dabble into the F&B sector. Just like home and interior business, restaurants come as a natural extension to luxury brands. It helps to have a healthier balance sheet when you have multiple categories of businesses.
The Tiffany Blue Box Cafe in New York.
Breguet, Blancpain, and Jaquet Droz boutiques, way back in 2013, adopted the allied gastronomical experiential route. F.P. Journe has a ten-seat spirit bar called Bar Journe in their store in the Kimpton EPIC Miami overlooking the Miami River. The bar serves some rare whiskeys, vodkas and craft cocktails. Existing and potential customers can enter Bar Journe, look at the watches, and enjoy their favorite cocktails overlooking the waterfront. They invariably end up shopping for an F.P. Journe watch as well.
Customers who visit Panerai's boutique at 711 Madison Avenue in New York City can browse their iconic timepieces and learn their technical superiority, history, and passion for the sea while leisurely indulging at their Bar Italiano. Their flagship store in Geneva also sports a Coffee and Cocktail Bar.
Rolex opened a 2,153 sq ft area boutique in Lyon, France, in 2022 with leading local jewelry retailer MAIER. The new concept Rolex store includes an exclusive lounge area as well as a bar with drinks and canape finger food.
FP Journe's Bar Journe in Miami.
Breitling's biggest store in the world, in Seoul, also houses a Breitling Café, and its first ever restaurant – Breitling Kitchen. This is in addition to Breitling's in-store café in Zurich, and a small restaurant & cafe at Jelmoli, a large luxury retail store in Zurich.
British luxury lewellery retailer David M Robinson (DMR) and LVMH will launch a large format joint concept Tag Heuer store in Liverpool in October this year. The DMR flagship store will have a private luxury lounge and bar.
Say cheese, please!
Fashion designer Michael Kors aptly said, "True luxury for me can be caviar or a day with no meetings, no appointments, and no schedule." Luxury brands' entrance into the F&B sector is also one way of exposing young consumers to their brand early on. Because if you can't afford a €1,500 worth handbag yet, you can certainly luxuriate with a €20 Armani Side cocktail.
It's a perfect situation to be in for the brand, as well as the chefs, sommeliers and cocktail experts involved in the process.
And with social media continuing to reign, it helps to have your brand images on the feed in various avatars. After all, who can resist posting an LV monogrammed pastry on Instagram or recording a reel at the Fendi's London café with their signature yellow hue all around?
Chefs, who are celebrities in their own right, get one more laurel on their white coat when they collaborate with a luxury brand. It's a perfect situation to be in for the brand, as well as the chefs, sommeliers and cocktail experts involved in the process.
American chef and author, James Beard, once said, "Food is our common ground, a universal experience." Some luxury brands were quick to appreciate and adapt to this emerging communication strategy. Experiential luxury is the new vehicle to enhance buying value motivations. That's what brands aim to provide to their significant clients when they visit their flagship stores or while traveling and holidaying. The objective is to offer a memorable shopping experience that may transform them into loyal brand followers.
A luxury brand's gastronomic offerings are an emotionally related extension, where experience is everything. It is an extraordinary way to communicate to luxury customers. It is a delightful, immersive, and unique journey, and the perfect opportunity to not only get the customer back into the store in a post-pandemic world, but also rope in newer customers as the global demography shifts to the younger side.

Norton Member of Parliament Temba Mliswa has accused Minister of Local Government July Moyo for plotting to use powers from Prersident Emmerson Mnangagwa.
In an explosive Twitter thread, Mliswa said Moyo wanted to become President and could not afford to wait for Mnangagwa to get second term .
Read the unedited thread below:
Besides corruption, July Moyo is at the centre of a conspiratorial plan to use President Mnangagwa from power. As we get into the second half of the year, it won't be a surprise to see strange events unfolding as he seeks to cement his dreams of power.
As it is, July Moyo is around 73 and if ED were to get a second term, July would be around 79 years old by the time ED finishes his second term.
July is losing sleep over this because this would mean that he won't be President of Zimbabwe and he is having none of it.
July wants to be President of Zimbabwe badly as he says that him being a Moyo, means he is of the Royal bloodline (those that really know July , know that he is actually not a Moyo but a Zhou, he changed his surname way back)
Now, here is the thing, it has already started, you will start to hear and see some rented crowds from within ZANU PF openly criticising ED telling him to step down.
This rented mob will initially act as if they are supporting the VP and as their chorus reaches fever pitch they will show their true colours and support July.
By initially supporting VP they are simply playing the old divide and rule tactics.
As for VP, July has always maintained that he is incapable of ruling this country and lately July dismissed VP's chances citing the way he is treating Mary saying in private 'a thug like that can never be leadership material.'
He wants the December Congress to be an elective Congress and he has been setting up party structures through vote buying in preparation for the big day.
The US$344 million Pomona dumpsite deal was all designed to make ED look bad in the eyes of the people within ZANU PF, on that one July deliberately misled the First Family knowing how bad it will make them look.
ED needs better advisors because July is making them drink the poisoned chalice. Forget about the opposition, a lot of people within ZANU PF itself are livid. They are angry at the Pomona deal so this is playing into July's hands.
I hope ED will realise that he is being led down a trap and move to cancel this dirty deal. If he wants to look at the real enemy, he should look no further than the enemy within.
On Harare there is more to come, over&above the 9,3 million Euro, Kruger has done extra works. He must have netted contracts in excess of US$20 million& PRAZ should look into this. What is the nature of Kruger's contracts and why they are being given special waiver?

Macleans: Doug Ford doesn't care about temp workers
"Implementing Section 83(4) is the only right thing to do. And Premier Ford has the power to act now.
But it's only the first step in better protecting temp agency workers: the government can make this kind of work truly temporary by ensuring that companies directly hire temporary agency workers after three months of employment; it could ensure that no more than 20 per cent of a company's workforce is hired through temp agencies; and it could prevent temporary agencies from charging corporations fees when they want to hire the worker directly. These changes would go a long way to ensure the safety and wellbeing of workers across the province."

EOSC Future has released a new series of use cases to show the value of the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) for research.
The cases are named "EOSC in practice stories" and highlight how EOSC resources (i.e. tools or services) already existing or under development have provided practical support to researchers in their daily work. The stories also demonstrate the benefits of EOSC for a broad range of actors, often across multiple research domains.
EOSC in Practice with Cos4Cloud
The fifth EOSC in practice story targets two main types of users: (1) the citizen and citizen scientists who are interested in identifying and knowing more about plants, and (2) developers of applications and software for plant identification, gardening, biodiversity management, agroecology or other related fields.
Plant identification services on EOSC
The solution here described is provided by a consortium of French research organisms piloted by Inria, the French national research institute for digital science and technology and was developed within the Cos4Cloud project. The proposed solution is called Pl@ntNET, a citizen observatory and AI-based Platform designed to monitor plants biodiversity and help identify plants via pictures. It is organised in different thematic and geographical floras operational via a search engine.
You can Access Pl@ntNet identification service on EOSC Portal Catalogue and Marketplace here

Chelation is the most effective and easy-to-perform mode of treatment the world over. There have been countless patients who have benefited from it. There are certain metals in the body like lead, mercury, and cadmium that are naturally toxic. This therapy is imparted by the intravenous infusion of Ethylene Diamine Tetra acetic Acid (EDTA) that removes these toxic metals from the body and improves calcium and cholesterol metabolism. One of the primary causes of a heart attack is the hardening of the arterial walls. Chelation reverses the hardening of such arteries, thereby removing the blocks.
Chelation Therapy enhances the flow of blood all over the body, thus improving health. Clearing the blocks without surgery through this treatment is the greatest blessing that a patient can receive. Chelation is a boon of the immense advancement of medical science. It is the safest, most inexpensive therapy available today. It not only removes blockages from the arterial blood vessels but also restores blood flow in atherosclerotic regions. Patients who probably would have had to undergo surgical intervention get cured.

It's hard to argue with George Clooney as a movie star. With his dashing good fortunes and obvious appeal, he's a kind of a throwback to the golden age of Hollywood. He got work as a humble struggling actor before playing in blockbuster hits like Ocean's Eleven, Gravity, and Michael Clayton.

You Are Watching: 10 Best George Clooney Movies That You Should Watching Update 02/2024
Both as an actor and as a producer, George Clooney has won several Oscars, including for his work on both big-budget blockbusters and smaller indie films. Also, he's had his fair share of failures, most memorably in his portrayal of Batman in Batman and Robin, which was so awful that it effectively ended its run.
George Clooney has had more hits than misses, so we've compiled a list of his 10 best films, including a few you may have missed. Look around.
10. Confessions Of A Dangerous Mind (2002)
This Chuck Barris biopic directed by George Clooney is a must-see (played by Sam Rockwell). The Gong Show, which Barris produced and hosted, was so absurd that it's hard to believe it was as successful as it was (its influence over TV is still evident today). Millions of people tuned in to watch the crazily untalented fail on the small screen because Barris realized that many individuals were desperate for their 15 minutes of fame, even if they were completely untalented.
Barris would like you to believe that he was more than just a game show presenter, but that's just what he was. based on Barris' "unauthorized biography" of the same name authored by the guy himself, Confessions Of A Dangerous Mind Chuck Barris, played by Sam Rockwell, is shown as an alcoholic jerk with delusions of grandeur in the film. Jim Byrd, a CIA agent who recruits Barris to be an undercover spy, was played by Clooney.
According to Barris' book, he was a CIA assassin who utilized his disguise as game show presenter to go across the world and kill American adversaries. As Chuck Barris, Rockwell depicts Barris' unpredictable and at times crazy conduct. If you haven't seen it yet, do so immediately. Additionally, it is George Clooney's directorial debut, which he performs extremely well in this picture, and he would go on to make another film that made this list.
9. Michael Clayton (2007)
George Clooney's acting career was at its pinnacle when he starred in Michael Clayton. He was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actor in the same year that other critically acclaimed films like Syriana and Good Night, and Good Luck were released.
We get a corporate cover-up over a cancer-causing weed killer and a fellow partner losing his mind (and finally getting murdered) to keep the story out of the press in this fascinating drama of a high-powered New York attorney.
With no one else capable of reviving this legendary tale, George Clooney is the only one who can bring it back to life.
8. Three Kings (1999)
We may easily write off the Three Kings today. Style and narrative are both a little out of date in this novel. Just as an interesting fact, it was released three years before the second Iraqi invasion and is a heist film set during the first Gulf War. As a result, the perspective on history has changed dramatically in the last two decades.
It was pioneering when it was first released, but now that it's had such an impact, the film's approach almost feels manufactured. The film's aesthetic is similar to many others today because of the strong reliance on handheld steady cams and the overly saturated colorization, but at the time, nothing else looked or felt like it.

Three Kings, starring George Clooney, is a triumph. It shows the actor's development into the Hollywood star he was always intended to be. George Clooney's performance, with Ice Cube, Mark Wahlberg, and Spike Jonze, glows with his characteristic charisma, despite his long-running spat with Russell.
7. Up In The Air (2009)
Your life will not be transformed by Up In The Air. It won't cause you to rethink your entire worldview or urge you to take action to change the world. It will make you happy and provide a welcome respite from the stresses of everyday life.
There's nothing heavy or heaving about George Clooney's performance in Up In The Air. To be honest, it's a very excellent thing, not a terrible thing. I can't deny that the picture, like Clooney himself, is delightful.
A downsizer played by George Clooney travels the country as a corporate consultant, specializing in layoffs, to tell his story. Every week, he jets off to a different city, seldom staying more than a couple of nights in any one area. He's on the road all the time, taking full advantage of his American Airlines frequent traveler status. The road is his true home, and he has no intention of ever settling down anywhere.
A bevy of actors from Up In The Air were nominated for awards, including George Clooney for his lead part and Anna Kendrick for her breakout appearance as Clooney's teenage apprentice.
6. Gravity (2013)
George Clooney was in full movie star form in 2013's Gravity. If his cowboy-like astronaut persona is to blame, it's because Clooney is confident in his own talents. Gravity, the new film from director Alfonso Cuarón and staring Sandra Bullock, has all the makings of a big hit.
Gravity, the compelling tale of two astronauts stranded in outer space, was nominated for a record-breaking ten Academy Awards and took home seven of them, including Best Actress for Sandra Bullock, Best Director for Alfonso Cuarón, and the majority of the technical ones.
It's a visually stunning film with a surprising amount of tension. Even though it's not the most taxing role George Clooney has ever taken on, it deserves to be on this list because of the amazing film it is.
5. Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009)
Is it possible to make a hit film with George Clooney as the starring guy but without seeing a single inch of his face? Wes Anderson's animated classic Fantastic Mr. Fox demonstrates that it is possible.
When it's simply his voice, George Clooney's irrepressible charisma shines through. Despite the fact that he's portraying an animated fox, viewers immediately recognize George Clooney as the actor behind the character.
Fantastic This is Wes Anderson's first animated film, but it reads like a live-action Anderson film, with the same precisely calibrated camera angles and a wonderful soundtrack. As engaging and entertaining as any previous Wes Anderson film, this one features George Clooney in top form. Even better than the animated film that won every award in animation in 2014, Up.
4. Good Night, And Good Luck (2005)
George Clooney's career took a major turn in Good Night, and Good Luck. Despite the fact that it wasn't his first feature film, he was nominated for Best Director at the Academy Awards for his work on the film.

Edward R. Murrow, played by David Strathairn, is the star of the film, which depicts the early days of television news during the Red Scare and the anti-communist hearings held by Senator Joseph McCarthy.
This dramatic recounting of a pivotal time in American history is a George Clooney directorial masterwork that took a number of risks, not the least of which was to release the picture in black and white.
3. Syriana (2005)
Syriana is a difficult picture that demands considerable attention from the audience. Additionally, it can lead to some confusion because of this. It's a common topic in many of the (mainly positive) reviews of the game. If you stick with it, you'll be amazed.
As a result of his outstanding performance, George Clooney was awarded the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor, the only one he has received to date.
George Clooney plays a CIA agent trying to stop the flow of illegal weapons into the Middle East in the film, which also has a stellar cast, including Matt Damon, Christopher Plummer and Jeffery Wright.
2. O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000)
Where is my Brother? the first time George Clooney has worked with the Coen brothers and his performance is simply outstanding. As an escaped convict, Clooney portrays a conman who is trying to reach a stash of money that he hid before his imprisonment in an area that would soon be flooded due to the construction of an enormous dam.
With John Turturro and Tim Blake Nelson as his co-conspirators, George Clooney sets off on an epic journey across Depression-era Mississippi, encountering all manner of strange and beautiful personalities along the way.
As the charming con artist with a "talent for gab," this actor excels in his part. It's as if the Coen brothers and George Clooney are speaking to each other, and the audience can't get enough of it. There are many brilliant filmmakers and actresses working at their height in O Brother.
1. Ocean's Eleven (2001)
Among Ocean's Eleven, George Clooney is the star of the show in a cast that includes Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Don Cheadle, Casey Affleck, Julie Roberts, and Andy Garcia, among many others. With such a large throng, it's not simple to stand out, yet Clooney manages it with ease.
Though no one could have been expected to do it, George Clooney's Danny Ocean, the mastermind behind a world-class robbery on the vaults of three casinos, manages it admirably. In the role of a leading man, he exudes confidence and swagger that perfectly matches the film's lighthearted tone.
To see that Clooney had a great time filming this movie and that it was a huge hit helped establish him as one of the greatest actors in the world at the time and for many years to come.
There are a few notable omissions from this list, including Clooney's starring roles in The Perfect Storm and The Descendants; both of which earned him a Golden Globe.
This doesn't mean that any ranking of George Clooney's top films should exclude them; rather, their inclusion is a monument to how many excellent films he has made and performances he has given over the years. A movie star in his own right, George Clooney is a force to be reckoned with. It doesn't matter if he's the worst Batman ever.

In 2013, MedTech and MedCare formally aligned to form MTMC. With a single unified vision, MTMC understands the needs of today's manufacturers, supply chain, and end-users. In partnership, their shared business model provides a solution that responds to and incorporates selling strategies related to clinical, financial, and operational outcomes. Their expansive team of sales executives understands the importance of patient-driven data; specifically, data generated by the Affordable Care Act and related healthcare reform related to patient safety, readmission risks, the impact of complications, and patient satisfaction.
In 2018 MTMC had several full-time employees devoted specifically to commission data collection, normalizing and manually checking the data, processing the data, commission rules calculations, sales report preparation, and accounting related activities. Before partnering with SEAD, MTMC would need analysis conducted for certain vendors and dealers which would take an extensive amount of manual effort. Sales and commission analyses for some of their larger clients would take days or even weeks in certain cases. MTMC found itself falling months or even quarters behind in paying out its sales commissions to its 200+ sales team.
SEAD accomplished the following goals to improve MTMC's performance and address all of their issues:
- Loaded, Cleansed, and Consolidated Data for 60+ Vendors
- Provided Scalable Loading Back-End Structure for New Vendors
- Established Alerting Mechanism on Data Quality for all Vendor Files
- Created 10+ Dashboards that Automatically Update to Live Data
- Provided Backups of all Sales History and Territory Assignments
- Introduced new Division Assignment Logic
- Wrote Algorithms that Calculate over 350+ Sales Representative Commission Structures
- Created PDF and CSV Exports on Demand
- Scheduled Daily Reports and Alerts for its 200+ Users
As a result of the enterprise commission management system implemented by SEAD, MTMC's is now longer falling months and quarters behind in paying its commissions. Instead, MTMC is paying out its 200+ sales representatives on time. It also has improved features such as providing overriding capability for authorized users, instituting audit trails of all its transaction information, and providing analysis of its historical territory assignments and sales contracts. The SEAD Constructer enabled MTMC to improve its bottom-line performance to the tune of $2M+ annually. The amount of data volume and processing has increased by over 200% with no need for additional employees to be hired. SEAD's Low-Code | No-Code Enterprise Application has fulfilled that role.

Andrew Murray wants people to stop and smell the murals.
Not literally, though.
He's referring to the saying "stop and smell the roses," as in taking a moment to appreciate the world around you. In this case, the Town of Antigonish's increasing outdoor artwork.
The town recently put out a call for businesses and other commercial property owners to express interest if they would like a photo mural or art installation on the side of their building.
"It adds interest to our day-to-day life. It can add colour. It can add thoughtfulness. Some murals can have great meaning," Murray says about the mural project.
The Antigonish town councillor, artist and chair of the community enhancement committee is passionate about filling the area with as much art as possible. When Murray is walking around town he says he's often thinking about empty spaces that could hold a mural. He says his motto is "the more art, the better," especially now and after a tough two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
He notes the town has always been very cultural, naming sports, music and art as examples.
"This is just another aspect of our ever-increasing cultural contributions. And it just makes life more pleasant to live around. It's a very good project."
Kate Gorman, marketing and communications officer for the town, says the public art program has been in place for a number of years and was revived again two years ago.
The most recent photo mural was installed in January on the side of the REMAX Park Place building on Main Street. It's titled Guide Me Home and features the Cape George Lighthouse, as painted by artist Kashia Melanson.
"It's very colourful … and when you're coming up Main Street in this dreary weather, it's very cheerful," says Murray.
Gorman adds the town is "very proud to be able to showcase her work."
Murray notes while a traditional mural is painted directly on the interior or exterior of a wall, the town's program allows artists to paint on a smaller canvas that could then be blown up to a larger size. Other town murals include Adele MacFarlane's painting of a bear, installed by the library, and a colourful landscape by Elizabeth Tynan on the side of the library facing College Street.
The town has recently partnered with Antigonish Culture Alive to enhance the application and judging process, Gorman says.
"At this time, we are in the early stages of developing these new materials. We hope to put out a call for artists to submit concept designs in the spring/summer."
The town hopes to have another public art installation added this year.
Antigonish is still seeking interested businesses to host the outdoor art and those who wish to participate can contact the town.

Wise Leaders Know That They Don't Get There By Themselves
By faith Moses' parents hid him for three months after he was born, because they saw he was no ordinary child, and they were not afraid of the king's edict
(Hebrews 11:23)
None of us gets to choose the time or circumstances of our birth.
In his thought-provoking book Turas, which envisages a group of Northern Irish Presbyterians attempting to come to terms with an imagined United Ireland, one of Colin Neill's characters makes this observation:
I never fail to marvel at how much of a person's character and experience often seems the consequence of a random chance of birth. Think of the Kamikaze pilot flying his plane into American aircraft carriers off the coast of his homeland. Think of the civil rights marchers thronged behind their banners in the Deep South. Think of the North Koreans who live and then die within such a narrow tunnel of opportunity that oppression is numbed only by their not knowing how oppressed they are. If God in his providence had set all these people, made in his own image, in another time and place, their lives would have been completely different.
Imagine how different your life might have been if you had been born 100 years earlier, and on the other side of the world. What if you had been born to different parents or born into a different race, with a different skin colour?
The shape of so many aspects of our lives is influenced by things that are totally beyond our control and by decisions made by other people.
So it was with Moses. He was not consulted about any of the circumstances into which he would be born. No one asked him to choose the historical era of his birth; no one asked how he felt about being born into a race of slaves at one of the low points in their history. He wasn't asked to indicate his preferred choice of parents.
The Scottish philosopher Thomas Carlyle famously claimed that 'the history of the world is but the biography of great men': he saw these 'great men' as the initiators of whatever was accomplished in the world. The study of leadership has moved far beyond the so-called great man theory, but we can't dismiss all the implications of Carlyle's statement, for we too expect leaders to shape their times.
The other side of that coin is that leaders are also products of their times. Indeed, how many of history's great names might have been consigned to obscurity had it not been for the particular circumstances that formed them, or that called for their unique gifts of leadership?
The birth of Moses
Moses' ancestors had settled in Egypt many generations previously, a legacy of the remarkable influence of Joseph at a time of national crisis. However, the passage of time had brought with it the fading of memory, and eventually a king (possibly Ramses II) 'to whom Joseph meant nothing' (Exodus 1:8) came to power. To him and his people, this burgeoning group of resident foreigners represented something of a problem: they could not be allowed to become so numerous that they might join with hostile external forces in the event of a war, and so escape, something that would doubtless have reduced Pharaoh's labour force.
The narrative in Exodus 1 traces the Egyptians' attempt to resolve their Israelite problem. First came hard labour. Then came a campaign of racially based infanticide where the Hebrew midwives were told to kill newborn Hebrew boys while letting the girls live. The midwives refused to comply, and were rewarded by God with children of their own.
Sadly, their resistance was not the final piece of the story, as responsibility for eliminating newborn Hebrew boys passed to the Egyptians who were to throw the boys into the Nile.
These were desperate times.
No one ever gets to choose the circumstances of their birth but, were it possible, no one would choose to be born into this.
However, at the same time there was another reality. The Israelites were people of promise. God had promised their ancestor, Abraham, that he would become 'a great nation' (Genesis 12:2). He had also foretold the long years during which they would live as aliens and slaves (Genesis 15:13). But that time would pass and their future would be prosperous.
Pivotal to this transformation in their fortunes would be Moses.
There is something about the way Exodus tells the story of his birth that ought to catch our attention:
Now a man of the tribe of Levi married a Levite woman, and she became pregnant and gave birth to a son.
(Exodus 2:1-2)
To all intents and purposes it looks as though we are reading the story of this couple's firstborn. But Moses was not their first child. It soon becomes clear that Moses' parents already had a daughter, and we eventually discover that they also had an older son, born three years previously.
Why, then, is the story told in this way?
One theory is that Moses' parents, Amram and Jochebed, had separated after the birth of their older children, rather than run the risk of bringing another son into the circumstances described in Exodus 1. Jewish tradition claims that it was the intervention of Miriam that in some way shamed her father into re-establishing his marriage, and Moses was the fruit of that union.
While that's an intriguing interpretation of the apparent strangeness of the narrative, it may simply be that the writer has compressed the details of the story, omitting the births of Miriam and Aaron, in order to get to the birth of Moses which, in a sense, is the starting point for the story of redemption that will shortly unfold.
Either way, Moses was born into the most precarious of circumstances.
In the church I pastored for seventeen years in Switzerland, new parents had the opportunity to participate in a dedication service for their children. I remember one young father, on the occasion of the birth of his first son, admitting with considerable honesty that he wondered what he had done in introducing a new child to the world.
It's a question any parent might ask. The world, after all, is a dangerous and turbulent place. Of course it has its stunning beauty, and life has the potential to be a wonderful adventure of discovery. But it is a world of political uncertainty, of famine, of climate change, of deep division and much brokenness. How many people's experience of the ragged edges of existence leads them, like Job, to wish they had never been born? Yet, as Jewish author Levi Meier puts it, 'most of us still choose to bring new life into the world'.
There is a sense in which bringing a child into the world is an act of faith. Faith, perhaps, that this child will lead a fruitful life: who knows but that they might discover a new treatment for cancer, or that they might emerge as a significant reforming and life-bringing leader in the Church? Faith that they will bring joy, faith that they will be loved.
If bringing any child into the world may be construed as an act of faith and courage, the dark cloud of Pharaoh's decree underlined the faith and courage of Moses' parents: faith and courage that would soon be further tested.
Three women
Strikingly, the early months of Moses' life were dominated by the parts played by three women.
The first was his mother, Jochebed: it's highly unlikely that she would have regarded her son as anything other than a 'fine child' (Exodus 2:2), but such was the power of maternal affection that she chose to protect him from the fate that had been decreed by Pharaoh.
It's worth noting that the word 'fine' (Hebrew tov) is translated 'good' in the telling of the creation story in Genesis. Its first occurrence in Scripture comes in relation to the newly created light – 'God saw that the light was good' (Genesis 1:4). Levi Meier comments that the use of the word points to the birth of Moses as 'the time for another beginning, for new life, for a radiant life force, for positive energy'. Certainly the arrival of this particular baby would prove to be light in the darkness of the Hebrews' experience.
But we need to ask a question: what was it that led this one mother to defy the measures to which others had presumably submitted? Did other mothers not feel the same affection for their sons? Did the instinct to protect Moses involve more than maternal affection?
We should also observe that Hebrews 11 – adding the involvement of Moses' father – tells us that his parents 'saw that the child was beautiful' (v23, ESV) or that 'he was no ordinary child' (NIV), and that Stephen, in his speech to the Jewish Sanhedrin, adds the detail that 'he was beautiful in God's sight' (Acts 7:20, ESV). There was something about this boy that prompted his parents to act in faith, choosing to hide him, refusing to be 'afraid of the king's edict' (Hebrews 11:23).
Whether or not we accept the Jewish explanation of the birth story mentioned earlier, Jochebed and her husband had taken a gamble in conceiving and giving birth to this child. Now that she had given birth to a son, what would she do about the king's edict?
As Hebrews 11 tells it, the answer lies in her (and her husband's) faith. Since their faith was stronger than any fear of the king's edict, they chose to hide their son. In effect they believed that, whatever the king might decree, there was a higher hand. Had Moses' mother not trusted God, but had instead given way to fear, Moses would not have lived and could never have become the leader that Israel needed.
Isn't it humbling to realise that the earliest destiny-shaping decisions in any leader's life may be taken when the leader is totally unaware of them?
But keeping a small child hidden is not easy. All it needed was for one of Pharaoh's loyalists who had believed the anti-Hebrew message emanating from the throne to hear a crying baby in the middle of the night.
After three months of seclusion, it must have become impossible for Jochebed to keep her son hidden. So she sheltered him in a well-prepared papyrus basket and left him among the reeds along the bank of the Nile.
Miriam (Moses' sister is eventually named in Exodus 15) stands nearby to see what will happen, and it is her quick thinking that leads her, in her turn, to contribute to the salvation of her brother. Then, when the third woman appears, the story takes a dramatic twist.
This third woman – in a wonderful touch of delicious irony – is the daughter of Pharaoh, the king who wanted rid of Hebrew boys in the first place. It was when she noticed the basket and discovered the crying Hebrew baby that she was stirred to pity (maybe Moses' mother wasn't the only one to think her son was good-looking). Whatever her personal view of her father's genocidal campaign, a crying baby was to be pitied, not destroyed.
It's here that Miriam proposes a solution. Why not find 'one of the Hebrew women to nurse the baby' (Exodus 2:7)? The result is that, far from being thrown in the Nile, Moses is cared for by his own mother, whose services are recompensed by the daughter of the king who had issued the genocidal decree: rewarded for looking after her own son.
As well as the rich irony of the fact that Pharaoh's own daughter has undermined his scheme – and time will reveal how profoundly undermined it has been, since the man who will be Egypt's nemesis has been allowed to live – we need to notice a further irony in the story.
Pharaoh's solution to his 'Hebrew dilemma' is the elimination of the males: in the providence of God, his plan is subverted by three females. I'm sure there might be some fuel there to kindle the fires of debate on the nature of the ministry of women, but I'll leave that for others, and make these two observations:
- God's plan is advancing while Pharaoh's attention is focused elsewhere (Pharaoh is focused on the obvious – deal with the males);
- God uses people whom the culture finds easy to overlook.
Like the wider culture, the contemporary Church has had its heroes and celebrities. Perhaps we should be careful to distinguish between those terms. Heroes, properly understood, have done something worth admiring; celebrities tend to be famous for being famous (if that's not too cynical). It's probably normal and healthy to have heroes, those whom we respect and aspire to emulate, just as long as we remember their limitations and that they are not deities to be worshipped. Recent years have exposed the flaws in too many of our heroes: a pedestal can be a perilous place. There is truth in the old adage that 'the best of men are but men at the best'.
We fall easily into the trap of assuming that if anything of note is going to happen for the sake of God's kingdom, it will come about as a result of the influence of the big names. It's the speakers with the large platforms and huge gatherings. It's the singers and songwriters with the most recent hit songs. It's the well-known authors or the high-profile leaders that God will use to bring about revival and the transformation of the world. Put like that, it all sounds suspiciously like a Christianised version of Thomas Carlyle's great man theory, mentioned above.
I'm grateful for well-known and gifted writers, singers and speakers who faithfully serve God and bless the Church. And it's not that we should embark on some kind of iconoclastic crusade to chop all such people down to size: we should honour and acknowledge those who serve God well. It's just that we ought to realise that there may be times when our eyes are so intently fixed on the big platforms that we miss the fact that God is working away off stage through the faith and courage of people who may be almost completely unknown beyond their immediate circle of acquaintances. Who can measure what God is doing through the quiet faithfulness of unassuming followers that we have not even noticed?
Arthur Boers puts it like this:
While history focuses on victors and the powerful, people at the top and in charge, the Bible pays an astonishing amount of attention to regular, normal folk who are nevertheless the unexpected means of God's dramatic work.
One of the practical pastoral implications of this is that leaders need to honour and encourage those 'regular, normal folk'. Sometimes these are older men and women who have passed the stage where they'd be regarded as movers and shakers. They may well shun publicity and avoid platforms, but they may be the ones through whom the Lord is advancing the work of His kingdom.
And if you are one of those quiet, understated folk, be encouraged. God knows your name. Not only were the Hebrew midwives who defied Pharaoh blessed with children, but their names are recorded in Scripture: the name of the Pharaoh is not.
Shaped by the influence of others
The reality of this earliest phase of Moses' life is that much of it is shaped by decisions that lie entirely in the hands of other people.
In the summer of 2020, one of the guests on my podcast was Dave Burke. Dave lives in the North of England where he runs training in mental health first aid. Previously he served for several decades in church leadership in various parts of England. I think it's fair to say that Dave would describe himself theologically as a conservative, Free Church guy.
Which means that labyrinths would not normally have tended to be part of his expression of spirituality.
Nonetheless, Dave told me about an experience he had of walking through a labyrinth. He was visiting a retreat centre that was run by a couple of northern Anglican dioceses. The retreat centre had a labyrinth.
He admitted that his initial reaction was to think, 'What on earth is that for?' But he decided to walk the labyrinth, and as he did, he would try to remember everyone who had had an influence on him. It took a while. Every few feet he would recall his list of influencers in chronological order. By the time he got to the end of the labyrinth, he had a list of easily thirty people who had influenced him.
I don't think we necessarily need to walk through a labyrinth to come up with a list of people upon whose shoulders we have climbed, or who have helped to steer us along the way, though if you have a labyrinth nearby, you may want to give it a try.
I can certainly recall the influence of many people on my life.
The first Christians I ever met were my parents. Like Moses, I was born into a family of faith. My parents had been followers of Jesus before I was born, so church and faith were very much part of my upbringing. As my faith grew and my vocational direction crystallised, my parents provided encouragement, as well as the freedom to move in expressions of church that were a bit different from their own.
I had Sunday school teachers and Bible class leaders. I listened to large quantities of preaching, some of it memorable and some of it less so. As a teenager I was invited by an older member of our church fellowship to do some preaching of my own: my first effort, in a little Gospel Hall on the County Down coast, was truly pitiful (though I probably was unaware of how pitiful at the time), and I can only hope that I have improved. There were people whose preaching ministry nourished me and helped me to see the relevance of the Bible to real life. There were those who taught me how to study the Bible, or whose relationship with God inspired me. There were opportunities to get involved in aspects of Christian ministry and help to discern my calling.
Beyond that there have been those who have influenced me from afar, through their writing or through their public ministry (some of them I have since had the opportunity to meet). There have been church members who have helped sharpen my thinking or have encouraged, even goaded, me in my growth and development.
I cannot leave this without mentioning my wife, who has been a wonderful support and partner with me and has helped develop and hone some of my ministry skills: not least in her challenge for me to answer the 'so what?' question in my preaching.
Like Moses, none of us is likely to get far without the involvement of others. In a recent conversation with a friend – on the theme of humility – he told me that if his life was a film, the credit list would be long.
Nor was it simply in his earliest years that Moses benefited from the part others played. At various phases in his leadership, others had contributions to make – something we will explore in Chapter Four when we will reflect on the part played by Jethro. We do well to remember that lesson for ourselves.
Defining moments
But the story of Moses' formative years is not only the story of the influence of others. As significant as that influence was, there comes a time when we all need to take responsibility and begin to make our own life-shaping choices. As Moses faced a significant defining moment in the second half of Exodus 2, so it is that from time to time leaders encounter these defining moments and arrive at major turning points.
The defining moment for Moses came when he saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew. Without really developing the idea, the text observes that the people whom Moses saw struggling with their hard labour were 'his own people' (Exodus 2:11). As if to underline the point, the same verse describes the unfortunate Hebrew who is being beaten by the Egyptian as 'one of [Moses'] own people'.
This is significant. For all the privilege of his royal upbringing, Moses had not forgotten who his own people actually were. He was a Hebrew, and not an Egyptian.
The story of Moses striking down the Egyptian leaves us with some questions. Was Moses right to do what he did? He was certainly motivated by a keen sense of justice: this was not the last time he would stand up for the weak. Had he assumed that his unique background left him ideally placed to be what the Hebrews needed? If so, whatever memo Moses thought he was reading had not been delivered to the Hebrews, or if it had, they had not read it.
Is it possible, as John Calvin believed, that Moses had found his calling? Interestingly, Stephen, in Acts 7:25, claims that Moses thought that the Hebrews would understand that God had sent him. In that case we might wonder if the fault lay with the Hebrews who refused to accept him. Or could it be that Moses was right about his calling but wrong about his timing and method?
Calvin actually suggested that Moses had been divinely inspired with courage to deal with the Egyptian: this, says Calvin, was his vocation, and he knew it. His fault lay in his lack of boldness.
On the other hand, Desmond Alexander notes that even though he may have been well motivated, there is nothing to suggest that Moses' actions are intended to be a model to be followed.
His own desire for secrecy underlines the inappropriateness of what he does. Had he believed that his action was morally defensible, he might have claimed the authority for doing so on the basis of being a member of Pharaoh's household.
Whichever of the arguments persuades you, the fact is that Moses' grand gesture failed to win over the Hebrews and he had to go on the run. It would be forty years before he would see his people again.
It was a mess, and in the next chapter we will explore the phase into which it plunged Moses. But it was a defining moment, and one which the anonymous writer of Hebrews appears to have in mind when writing about Moses' life-changing choice to identify with the Hebrews.
By faith Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be known as the son of Pharaoh's daughter. He chose to be ill-treated along with the people of God rather than to enjoy the fleeting pleasures of sin.
(Hebrews 11:24-25)
Moses' choice involved turning down the opportunity to enjoy 'the treasures of Egypt'; in their place, he would accept disgrace 'for the sake of Christ' (Hebrews 11:26). The author of Hebrews offers no criticism of his action: it was 'by faith' that Moses had made this choice (v24).
While it may well be true that significant elements of our lives are shaped by the decisions of others, leaders can expect that their leadership journey will toss up some defining moments when they need to make their mind up about their identity and the direction of their life.
I'm not particularly into musical theatre in general, but I have watched the musical adaptation of Victor Hugo's Les Misérables on several occasions. It is full of powerful and poignant moments. There is the old priest who forgives Jean Valjean for exploiting his hospitality to steal from him: his redemptive act sets up Valjean's new life. There is the dramatic suicide of Inspector Javert, who has been let off the hook by Valjean but whose world has been so destabilised by this act of mercy that he cannot go on living. There is the moving moment at the end of Valjean's life when he is reunited with Cosette and Marius.
And there is a dramatic scene where Valjean, now a successful factory owner known as Monsieur Madeleine, realises that someone else has been mistaken for him and is on trial. To say nothing would condemn an innocent man, but to reveal his true identity would put the livelihood of his workers at risk.
In one of the show's many memorable moments, he weighs it all up (in a song – remember, it's a musical) before deciding to come clean and announce that he is indeed Jean Valjean. It's a defining moment.
Simply put, although in themselves they may be far from simple, and may involve anguished choices, defining moments are those moments that force us to decide who we are and what we stand for.
Who are you? Why are you here? What really matters? Why should you choose this path and not another? Why turn down some opportunities and accept others? Why should you draw a line here and not there?
These are vital questions for anyone to ask, never mind leaders.
The answers will not always make sense to other people. Why should someone turn down the prospect of a well-paid job to lose themselves as a missionary in some far-flung corner of the world, or because they know that the job may require choices that will conflict with their deepest convictions? Why would you turn your back on a comfortable existence to give your life in the service of people who have nothing of material value to give you in return? At various times we will need to 'nail our colours to the mast', perhaps when our colours are not in fashion. It's part of deciding who we are.
Even though the outcome of Moses' action was far from what he had envisaged, he had nonetheless marked a significant stage in his journey: he was a Hebrew, and these were his people. Moses had made a life-shaping decision about his identity.
It would be another forty years before it all really began to take shape; first, he had to spend time in the wilderness.
Questions for reflection
- Can you identify ways in which your circumstances have contributed to your leadership journey, in terms of both challenges and opportunities?
- Take some time to list the people who have most influenced you in terms of your faith and your leadership.
- Can you recall a defining moment when you had to decide what you and your leadership stood for?

Kardashian Revenge! Khloe & Kylie Party With Sisters Amid Tristan & Jordyn Drama
Feb. 26 2019, Updated 3:39 p.m. ET
Tristan and Jordyn who? Khloe Kardashian looked flawless and empowered as ever when she stepped out to party with her sisters this Monday night — days after her explosive baby daddy drama. On her Snapchat, Kylie Jenner shared a steamy video of her dancing and singing with Khloe, Kourtney Kardashian and Kendall Jenner. While Kim Kardashian was clearly missing from the fete, the four seemed to be having the time of their lives despite their fiery feud with Tristan Thompson and former Kar-Jenner pal Jordyn Woods. As RadarOnline.com readers know, the curvy model — who gained fame solely for her friendship with the lip kit mogul — was allegedly caught hooking up with Tristan at a house party after Valentine's Day. Though the NBA star had allegedly split with Khloe a day prior, the Kardashian family was furious to learn that their supposed best friend, Jordyn, had betrayed them by canoodling with Khloe's cheating ex. After news broke of their racy rendezvous, Tristan took to Twitter to deny the scandal. "Fake news," he wrote, before deleting the tweet moments later. And while neither Kylie nor Jordyn have addressed the rumors, Khloe took to Instagram to share a series of scathing quotes about betrayal and heartbreak. Plus, the entire family unfollowed Jordyn and Tristan on social media! Click through RadarOnline.com's gallery to see photos of the Kar-Jenners' private sister party and learn more.
No one can keep the Kardashians down — especially not an unfaithful basketball star and a fake friend. This Monday evening, Kylie, 21, poste and deleted a Snapchat video of her partying with sisters Kendall, 23, Khloe, 34, and Kourtney, 39. All four looked stunning — Kylie and Kendall in elegant party looks, and Kourtney and Khloe in sheer dazzling silver catsuits. The elder sisters boasted their curves and showed off their bras and panties in the revealing pieces. "Step up in this b***h like," Khloe captioned the series of hot photos. "Smile for the camera," wrote Kourtney.
While Kylie posed in only one of the photos with her sisters, she shared a sexy swimsuit photo of herself just hours before, as well as a series of snaps of her in a sheer polka-dot mini dress. RadarOnline.com readers know that while Kylie hasn't spoken of her ex "Wifey's" betrayal, she quickly kicked Jordyn, 21, out of the home they shared together, and even cut her from her booming cosmetics business.
"This is not going to be abrupt, but Jordyn is being phased out of Kylie Cosmetics," a source told RadarOnline.com, adding that the beauty is slashing prices on their lip kit collaborations. "Kylie is not going to allow someone who isn't a part of her life share her company profits. That would just be insane."
Meanwhile, Khloe is taking the explosive cheating scandal as a blessing in disguise and focusing on taking care of daughter True. Plus, an insider said, she doubts Jordyn and Tristan's PDA session was just a one-time thing.
"As far as Jordyn goes, Khloe and Kylie have already gotten their revenge because Jordyn has been blacklisted by the entire family. No one wants anything to do with her, and if it turns out that she was having an affair with Tristan, there will be serious hell to pay," the insider added.
How do you think Kylie Jenner and Khloe Kardashian are doing without Jordyn Woods and Tristan Thompson? Sound off below!
