Honey Boo Boo From Toddlers And Tiaras Is 19 Now
Y'all remember when first heard the words "Honey Boo Boo"? Alana "Honey Boo Boo" Thompson was an instant reality TV superstar and she was just a tiny tot at the time. She went viral for her hilarious one-liners (as seen above) on Season 5 of the TLC reality television show Toddlers & Tiaras. Then her time on Toddlers & Tiaras landed her a spin-off show Here Comes Honey Boo Boo alongside her mother June "Mama June" Shannon, and sisters Lauryn "Pumpkin" Shannon, Jessica "Chubbs" Shannon, and late sister Anna "Chickadee" Cardwell. She went on Dancing With The Stars: Juniors and in 2008 with dance partner Tristan Ianiero and coach Artem Chigvintsev. They were eliminated in the fourth week. In 2021, Alana competed in Season 6 of The Masked Singer as "Beach Ball" with Mama June. And now, I hate to do this to you, but you're about to have you're mind blown and you're going to feel ancient. It's been a hot minute, and Alana's no longer a tiny little toddler in a tiara or a kid in a reality TV competition. Here's Alana "Honey Boo Boo" now: Now she's a 19-year-old college student living with her boyfriend, Dralin Carswell, in Colorado, working on getting her nursing degree. Yeah, the star of the show about toddlers is 19 years old now. Some people are definitely shocked she's not a little kid anymore. "Shes all grown!!!!!" one person exclaimed. This person said, "Gorgeous gal. That face! Same as when you were little but all grown up!" Over the years, Alana's experience as a very young TV personality had its ups and downs, which will be revisited in the Lifetime movie I Was Honey Boo Boo (2025), but she's come a long way and remained transparent about the journey. Recently, Alana was featured in People discussing her family life, reality TV career, and what she's been up to now. "Honey Boo Boo" still has that natural star power. Fans have shown her mad love, praising her for being resilient and living her truth after all these years. One fan wrote, "Your a smart young adult now and don't let anyone tell you differently. Beautiful person in and outside. Sending love and support to you and your siblings." "You are looking really good super proud of you even though I an [sic] a stranger," someone else wrote. "You look beautiful, so proud of your success at breaking the cycle. Going to CO was the best decision you ever made. And nurses make good money!" another fan wrote. This person left a lengthy, heartfelt message, writing, "its amazing that you all blossomed into such lovely, well-rounded, intelligent young women despite the unfair and unnecessary hardships you faced. To be able to hold your head high, have strong moral standards and continue to prove so many doubters wrong is lovely to witness." Whew. Seeing Alana older and still thriving really makes me feel old. I can't handle this anymore.

Lifeloc Reports First Quarter 2025 Results
WHEAT RIDGE, CO / / May 15, 2025 / Lifeloc Technologies, Inc. (OTC:LCTC), a global leader in the development and manufacturing of breath alcohol and drug testing devices, has announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025. First Quarter Financial Highlights Lifeloc posted quarterly net revenue of $2.277 million resulting in a quarterly net loss of $(293) thousand, or $(0.11) per diluted share. These results compare to net revenue of $2.153 million and quarterly net loss of ($284) thousand, or ($0.12) per diluted share in the first quarter of 2024. Revenue grew by $124 thousand or 6% versus the first quarter last year. Gross margin in the first quarter improved to 39.9% versus 38.8% last year, due primarily to increased pricing and better volumes. Research and Development investment remains high at more than 20% of revenue, primarily for SpinDx development, contributing significantly to the current period loss. We believe our core alcohol detection product line-up is strong. The L-series LX9 and LT7 units have features and performance that are driving market penetration by meeting previously unaddressable market needs, such as smart phone pairing, wider temperature use ranges and fast customization that incorporates local languages. Sales of our newer L-series devices are mostly incremental to our installed base of FC-series devices rather than displacing FC sales. The L-series devices have been certified to meet the requirements of most modern registration standards, such as SAI's (Standards Australia International) latest AS 3547:2019 standards for Breath Alcohol Detectors. We continue to evolve the capability and certifications of these units to add more value and gain market share. Our FC-series devices remain popular with many law enforcement and international organizations. Our Easycal® automated calibration station, the only automated calibration available for portable breath alcohol testers, builds valuable protection around our brand and contributes to market share gains across the board, especially for our workplace Phoenix® 6.0 BT and EV 30 devices. We believe our most important goal and best opportunity remains the convergence of the global need for rapid detection of drugs of abuse with Lifeloc's proven capability to build easy-to-use portable testing equipment. We are therefore focusing our research and development efforts on leveraging the SpinDx™ technology platform, sometimes referred to as "Lab on a Disk," to develop a series of devices and tests that can be used at roadside and in emergency rooms, forensic labs and workplace test sites to achieve a rapid and quantitative measure for a panel of drugs of abuse. Our SpinDx product enables rapid, on-site, and cost-effective drug testing using a centrifugal disk platform capable of detecting trace levels of drugs from small samples. Despite initial delays due to the pandemic, we have advanced the technology and filed our first utility patent application in 2024 for improvements to the system. SpinDx™ offers a unique advantage over competitors by isolating psychoactive delta-9-THC from its inactive metabolites, enabling more accurate impairment detection-especially critical for marijuana testing where competitive devices may yield false positives from non-impairing compounds. Beta testing with human subjects is set to begin in partnership with Anschutz Medical Center in Colorado, with commercial launch expected in 2026. We plan to launch the product in stages, beginning with a saliva-based system, followed by blood and breath sample capabilities, using our LX9 breathalyzer to produce a roadside marijuana breathalyzer system. "Rapid drug testing is our biggest growth opportunity, and we believe that SpinDx will play an important role in addressing this unmet market need," commented Dr. Wayne Willkomm, President and CEO. "We have chosen to prioritize long term value creation over short term profitability to fund this opportunity. We anticipate continued high research and development expenses in this final push toward commercialization and are excited to begin to show our customers this developmental model." Additionally, in alignment with the evolving structure of the OTC Markets, Lifeloc has completed its application for the OTCID, which will be the new market tier of the OTC Markets, effective July 1, 2025. OTCID is the replacement for fully reporting companies from the OTC Pink Current Market, which will cease July 1, 2025. We believe the new OTCID standards will create greater market confidence than the OTC Pink and allow a more liquid marketplace for our shareholders.

Olympic Rugby Medalist Dies at 30 in Traffic Accident
Olympic silver medalist and professional Fijian rugby player Josaia Raisuqe has died following a traffic accident. He was 30. His team, French rugby club Castres Olympique, announced news of his death in a statement on May 8. 'Castres Olympique is in mourning,' the club Raisuqe was reportedly en route to his team's training center when his vehicle was struck by a train. 'The entire CO family is devastated by this terrible news. Josh had been a member of the club since 2021,' the post continued.

It goes beyond pain, to help them in this difficult moment for everyone.' Originally from Naitasiri, Fiji, a Pacific island nation east of Australia, Raisuqe joined Castres Olympique as a winger in 2021.

Olympic silver medallist dies in devastating accident aged 30
Tributes are flowing after the shock death of Fijian rugby player and Olympic silver medallist Josaia Raisuqe, aged 30. Raisuqe, who plays for French rugby team Castres, was a member of Fiji's rugby sevens Olympic team that won silver last year. Castres said Raisuqe died in a 'road accident' and that the team learned of the death Thursday morning. Local media reports his car was struck by a train at a level crossing. In a statement, Castres said the club 'is in mourning' and postponed its game against ASM Clermont that was scheduled for Saturday. 'The entire CO (Castres Olympique) family is shaken by this terrible news,' the statement read. 'Josh had been part of the club since 2021. He was a wonderful teammate, very much appreciated by all, and by the Castres supporters who had adopted him. We extend our sincere condolences and our thoughts to his family and loved ones.' Raisuqe was a member of Fiji's rugby sevens Olympics team. Credit: Getty Raisuqe played in the rugby sevens gold medal match in Paris, which Fiji lost 28-7 to host France. He was a much-loved team member. The Fiji Drua, who play the Blues later today in their Super Rubgy match, also paid tribute. 'We lost more than a player — we lost a brother, a teammate and a true son of Fijian Rugby,' they said. 'Rest in peace, Jo. Your spirit will forever live on in the game and in our hearts.' His partner also posted a tribute on Instagram, sharing a range of photos of them together. 'Babe, my love, my beautiful husband. Thank you for all my love. I love you all my life, way up there,' she wrote. Raisuqe has been playing club rugby in France since 2015, when he joined Top 14 champions Stade Francais. He also played for second-division side Nevers, and got into an infamous incident in 2021 when, overjoyed by a win, he hoisted the referee over his head after the fulltime whistle. The ref gave him a red card. The following season, Castres deployed Raisuqe as a flanker en route to the 2022 Top 14 final. 'He was a radiant boy on and off the field, a pillar of the Fijian community we have at the club and to which we are very attached,' Castres chairman Pierre-Yves Revol said. 'It is also difficult at this time not to mention the faith of all these (Fijian) players and of Josaia. My thoughts are with his fiancee and his entire family.' - with AAP
