East Oakland homeless encampment on MacArthur Boulevard raises health, safety concerns
People in East Oakland say a growing homeless encampment on MacArthur Boulevard near 106th Avenue is becoming more unsanitary and unsafe. And now, it's starting to spill into the street. "We shouldn't have to live like this," said Staci, a woman who lives in East Oakland and frequents Sports Page, a bar just feet away from the encampment. She said in the last few years, it's continued to get worse. "The smell is horrific," said Staci. "It's the smell, then there's rats and rodents and the rats are coming across the street." She worries about the health and safety hazards. She said you can't use the sidewalk and some cars and buses have to swerve out of the way of the trash. "It's been close calls," Staci explained. "I've seen it. You can see it. You have to go out into the street, it's encroaching on the incoming traffic." And those living in the encampment know the residents aren't happy. "We're all looking for places to go instead of here," said Teela Hardy, a woman who has lived in her RV in this area for a number of years. Hardy said she's tried to get housing, but they won't let her take her dogs, who have become like family and protect her while she's lived on the street. She said she tries to be a good neighbor and keeps her space clean, but not everyone does the same. "It's so hard, it's so hard," said Hardy. "The garbage man always says if you put your trash here, we'll come pick it up every week, but they don't do it. They never do it. So we're left trying to figure out where to put trash. I see some people putting trash on the street. I hate that." Newly elected city councilmember for District 7, Ken Houston, said he won't stand for the mess anymore. "What's been happening in our streets, for the last 5-6 years, is ridiculous," Houston stated. "Our kids, our seniors, have to walk in the streets, cars have to go around trash and around these encampments. They're blocking the sidewalks. I'm changing all that. Enough is enough." Houston plans to introduce an Encampment Abatement Plan at a council committee meeting on Sept. 10, but before that, he's taking action on MacArthur Blvd. "I'm going to start cleaning up certain areas with public works next week and then I'm going to start having those RVs tagged," said Houston. "Next six to seven weeks, watch how it looks. Watch how it looks." He said Measure W, which was passed by voters in Alameda County to address homelessness, will help fund some of the changes. But for Staci and others in the area, it can't come fast enough. "Us taxpayers, we shouldn't have to see this," said Staci. "Something needs to be done."

Bpost reaffirms 2025 outlook; first-quarter income meets estimates
(Reuters) -Belgian postal operator Bpost reported 1.12 billion euros ($1.26 billion) in operating income for the first quarter on Friday, meeting market expectations, driven by the integration of logistics firm Staci. France-based supplier Staci, acquired by the Belgian group in August 2024, contributed 199 million euros to the company's operating profit in the first quarter ended March 31. The group reiterated its full-year outlook for 2025. WHY IT'S IMPORTANT Investors were disappointed by the company's annual outlook, announced in February, particularly due to the cancelled dividend payment and for missing the consensus estimate by a significant margin. The stock hit its all-time lowest in late February and has lost more than 30% of its value year-to-date. BY THE NUMBERS The group's adjusted earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) for the reported quarter was 41.6 million euros, down more than 40% year-on-year, but still ahead of the 34.2 million estimated in the company-provided consensus. The group confirmed annual guidance for 2025's adjusted EBIT between 150 million and 180 million euros. KEY QUOTE "Despite the challenges faced in the first quarter of this year, our results are in line with expectations. We... confirm our outlook... although we remain cautious," Chief Executive Officer Chris Peeters said. CONTEXT Bpost's mail and parcel business has been struggling since November 2023 due to declining profitability from lost press distribution contracts in Belgium and falling mail volumes. A two-week strike in February further impacted the company's operational stability.

Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A SKINCARE expert has revealed her favourite 'Botox in a bottle' treatment, and it costs just £1.73 a day.

For those looking to feel rejuvenated, without turning to injectibles, skincare expert Staci Christie has shared her secrets. Staci described SkinCeuticals P-Tiox Neuro-Peptide Serum as "Botox in a bottle." "P-Tiox is a powerful punch," she told Lauryn Evarts Bosstick on the Skinny Confidential Him & Her podcast. "It's literally Botox in a bottle." "It works", Lauryn revealed. Botox is not reccomend for use during pregnancy, due to concerns surrounding its safety. However, P-Tiox is completely fine to use when you're expecting. The SkinCeuticals product is defined as "a potent serum powered by an Advanced Peptide Complex to help minimise the look of fine lines." It is recommended to use the product twice a day, after applying an antioxidant serum. 'Love these' shoppers cry as Primark launches new skincare range with £3.50 masks & SPF & it'll save you hundreds on the viral brand To apply the product, simply dispense 4-6 drops into clean hands, and then gently press evenly into the skin. The skincare product is priced at £130 for a 30ml bottle. This means that if you use eight drops a day, it will cost you just £1.73 per day. Shoppers have been raving about the product in online reviews. Biggest skincare trends for 2025 Face The Future's Head of Clinic, Kimberley Medd, shared the five skincare trends predicted to take off in 2025. 1. Exosomes Exosomes are the buzzword for 2025, taking advanced skin regeneration to new heights. These micro-messengers signal skin cells to repair damage, boost collagen, and accelerate recovery, and they're a gamechanger for targeting ageing. 2. Streamlined Skincare The age of 12-step routines is fading as consumers shift to more intentional, multi-functional products. Streamlining skincare not only saves time but also reduces the risk of overloading your skin. In 2025, we'll see a rise in hybrid products that combine active ingredients for simplified, effective results. 3. Vegan Collagen Plant-based collagen will dominate the skincare world this year, providing a sustainable, ethical alternative to traditional animal-derived collagen. Expect vegan collagen in everything from moisturisers to serums. 4. The Rise Of AI AI is revolutionising the beauty landscape, making it possible for consumers to get truly personalised skincare solutions. In 2025, we predict a dramatic shift towards AI-powered tools that help people understand their skin on a deeper level. 5. Hair Loss Solutions - Hair loss is an issue that affects more men than we often realise, and it's no longer just something we're talking about behind closed doors. This year, expect to see a continued rise in demand for treatments that not only tackle hair loss but also nurture overall scalp health. One person, who bought the skincare product from Look Fantastic said: "My skin has improved so much since I started using this serum a few weeks ago. "I can see the difference in the texture of my skin, it leaves it smooth, clear and soft." A second person said: "I've been using this for 3 months now and can see a visible difference in the size for my pores. "The texture of my skin is flawless, and I have received so many compliments!" A third person said: "I've been using it consistently for the past three weeks now, as a follow-up to my Botox treatment. "I've never seen my skin look this lifted and smooth before."
