PSA: Frank Green just released glow-in-the-dark water bottles
Frank Green has just made it easier to hydrate once the sun goes down, releasing a glowed-up version of your favourite bottles. You would think our massive water bottles would be impossible to lose. They're basically attached to us whether we're at work, on a walk, shopping, working out or watching TV. But for those few seconds when you wake up at 2 am feeling like you've never had a sip of water in your life, it's not a rare experience to knock everything off your bedside table trying to find your water bottle. Now Frank Green is saving us the late-night panic by lighting up our favourite drink bottles. The brand has launched a glow-in-the-dark collection for a limited time. The range looks pastel orange, yellow or green by day, and gains a soft glow once it gets dark out. Frank Green Glow Ceramic Reusable 1L Bottle in Solar Glow Shop here Each bottle is solar-charged, constantly giving off a different glow pattern, so your bottle is unique to you. You just need to leave your Frank Green in the sunlight for at least 30 minutes to give it the strongest glow, but indoor lighting can keep the glow subtle if that's more your vibe. The luminescence will be brightest for the first 30 minutes in the dark and gradually soften over the next few hours. Both bottles are triple-wall vacuum insulated to keep your drinks as hot or cold as possible, BPA-free and made of durable recycled stainless steel.

Former VB businessman sentenced in sexual assault case
VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (WAVY) – A former Virginia Beach businessman, who was convicted of sexual assault, was sentenced to 15 years in prison today. According to a release from the Virginia Beach Commonwealth's Attorney's Office, Benjamin Young, 45, was sentenced on charges of Forcible Sodomy and Object Sexual Penetration. Young was convicted of these charges after a jury trial which concluded on June 13, 2024. Previous Coverage: VB jury convicts former businessowner of sexual assault against former employee According to the Commonwealth's Attorney's Office, evidence proved that in August 2022, Young hired the 19-year-old victim to work for his HVAC company, Hybrid Air. Young knew the victim from her previous job at a golf and yacht club, where Young frequently played golf. Young's company began having financial trouble and Young fired the victim within days of her time at Hybrid Air. He told her to come pick up her check a few days later, and she did so on Aug. 16, 2022. Prior to her arrival, Young retrieved her paycheck from the receptionist window in the lobby and took it to his office. When the victim arrived, Young brought her into his office to talk. After some small talk about the gym and body building, Young asked her if he could massage her leg. After massaging her leg and thigh, he sexually assaulted her. When the victim attempted to leave, she found the door was locked with a key code. Young told her, 'We should keep this between us,' before opening the door to the lobby and following her out to her car. Immediately after leaving the lobby, the victim called a friend and reported the assault before reporting it to her stepfather, who is a police officer, and her mother. She went to the Virginia Beach Detective Bureau to make a report and then underwent a Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE) exam. Samples were taken from her body and submitted to the Department of Forensic Science for analysis, and Young's DNA was a match to the samples taken from the victim's body. Young was sentenced to 60 years in prison with 45 years suspended, leaving 15 years to serve. He must also register as a sex offender, undergo sex offender treatment, and remain on good behavior for 45 years. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
