Joe McElderry unrecognisable on beach holiday as one photo leaves fans surprised
Joe McElderry caused excitement among his fanbase when they questioned if his latest topless holiday snap included less clothing than expected and if the star was posing nude Joe McElderry has been lapping up the sun - and splashing along the beach - while on an early summer holiday. The 33-year-old former X Factor winner is sunning himself on the Caribbean island of Barbados. However, he sparked a frenzy of speculation about exactly how much of his body he would be tanning while enjoying his time in the sun. Since arriving on the Island, Joe has been sharing photos and video clips via Instagram. And one image that he shared drew the attention of fans, as there was at least an illusion that he was sitting on a sun chair while completely naked. The singer shared a couple of snaps from a beachside balcony wit his arms and legs positioned in a way so as to cover any clothes that he was sporting. Clearly topless, some fans questioned if he was also bare from the waste down too. He uploaded the snaps to his main feed with a simple caption stating: "Here" along with a sun emoji. One curious fan reacted to the post and asked: "Have you got shorts on?" Another fan also wondered if the singer was nude, writing in response: "I had to look twice" along with eyes emojis. Another post from the star showed him smiling while sitting at a beach-side table - and he also shared videos of the ocean, and a walk along the sandy beach. Fans were also excited to see Joe showing off his muscular physique as he enjoyed himself in the sunshine. The star has been working out to prepare for a role. The Climb singer previously explained he had been working out with former Miss Universe finalist Caroline Dixon and following a strict diet. He told Fabulous magazine: "Most of the stuff we do is killer, but in a weird way I really enjoy it." He added: "I'm a really active person and I've done lots of charity bike rides." Joe, from South Shields, beat runner-up Olly to win the ITV show's sixth series and competed against Rage Against the Machine for that year's UK Christmas number one. Ultimately, the rap metal group's 1992 song Killing In The Name Of made it to the top spot after music fans downloaded it en masse in protest against the show. However, this did not stop Joe from going on to have an illustrious career. His cover of Biffy Clyro's hit song did eventually make it to number one, and he went on to be the first X Factor contestant to release a fourth album. He has seen five of his albums break the UK top 20, and two reached the top three. It was after his success as a recording artist that Joe turned to theatre. As well as starring in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, he has appeared in productions like Cinderella and, in 2023 and 2024, a pantomime version of Pinocchio. In this production at the Royal Theatre Newcastle, he took on the role of Jiminy Cricket. The X Factor last aired on TV in 2018, before going on a hiatus. X Factor producer Simon Cowell is currently working on the sixteenth series of BGT. Tt's been claimed that he is contracted to be head judge on the show until 2025. It has also been reported that he could move to rival broadcaster Channel 5 for other projects. It's teased he could develop new shows or even revive the likes of the X Factor. Discussing the possibility, a source told the Sun that it would be a "huge move" for Simon, who has carved out a career in TV through the likes of the X Factor and BGT on ITV. The source further commented: "It would effectively see him turn his back on ITV after two decades which has seen him deliver them two of their biggest hits. There's a strong sense that one chapter is ending and another beginning and Channel 5 are keen to be a part of that. But they'd need to nail down a seven-figure contract to seal the deal to bring him across."

onezone's CEO on harnessing tech to create a curated lifestyle app
Natasha Zone, founder and CEO of onezone app, on harnessing the power of tech to create the ultimate curated lifestyle discovery app. Natasha Zone, founder and CEO of onezone What was the idea and catalyst behind building onezone? The idea and catalyst behind onezone is rooted in the observation of existing luxury concierge services and recommendation/discovery platforms, which either target ultra-wealthy clients or are social media platforms lacking quality control and trust. This highlights a significant gap in the market for a digital hospitality marketplace that offers curated discovery for affluent individuals with high disposable income seeking out the best of hospitality in their city, who have no trusted brand or service available to them to do so. onezone fulfills the need of a trusted brand and reputable platform for this audience, as well as a new generation of digital-first consumers desiring to discover and book the best experiences. Additionally, onezone brings this valuable community, and new customers, to restaurants and hospitality brands who seek quality clientele that prioritise exceptional experiences. View this post on Instagram A post shared by onezone (@onezoneapp) What pillars of DNA define onezone as a brand? The pillars of DNA that define onezone as a brand include: 1. Curation, our USP: onezone prioritises curation on both sides of its digital hospitality marketplace, establishing a trusted brand and consistent standards that provide value to both users/ consumers and hospitality brands/businesses. 2. Community and Brand Value: The curated element of the brand fosters a valuable community on one side, and quality experiences on the other. This specialist curation is highlighted in our bespoke imagery, intentional organ- ic growth, real-time content and intuitive app/platform. 3. Diversity and Sustainability: onezone is committed to supporting female-founded, Black-owned and sus- tainable businesses, alongside community heroes and minorities; editorially on the app, consistently on social media and through our team in real life. 4. Industry Support: onezone actively contributes to the hospitality industry, as recognised by industry leaders, operators and owners. The development of new features – including private dining/events to drive more incremental revenue to our partners – demonstrates one- zone's dedication to supporting the industry as a whole. These pillars collectively reinforce onezone's commitment to quality, trust, community and diversity in the digital hospitality space. View this post on Instagram A post shared by onezone (@onezoneapp) What sets onezone apart from other city guide apps in the market? onezone distinguishes itself from other apps in several significant ways: 1. Curated Discovery: Unlike many social discovery apps that rely on influencers and friends for content, leading to unreliable and outdated information, onezone focuses on curated content. This approach ensures that users receive valuable, trustworthy and real-time recommendations as soon as they open the app. 2. Content Quality and Relevance: onezone offers bespoke content that is relevant to our specific audience/community and vetted for quality. This level of curation enhances user trust and satisfac- tion, setting us apart from com- petitors that may not prioritise these aspects. 3. Comprehensive Aggregation: onezone integrates discovery, booking and social features into a single platform. By curating across all verticals and price points, and integrating seamlessly with all traditional reservation softwares, onezone provides a unique holistic experience that allows users to discover, plan, book and trust the outcome, all in one. 4. Trustworthy Brand Alignment: onezone builds a brand that resonates with users, positioning itself as a trusted service in the crowded app/discovery market. This alignment fosters a loyal user base that seeks a reliable and comprehensive solution for city discovery/exploration. 5. Addressing Distrust in Existing Platforms: Traditional discovery platforms often rely heavily on user reviews, which can lead to distrust due to the potential for negative bias. New-age discovery platforms often deliver hype and viral moments rather than authentic recommendations and trustworthy reviews. onezone's curated approach mitigates these issues, offering a more enjoyable and reliable user experience. Overall, onezone's emphasis on curated, high-quality content, along with its comprehensive features, makes it a unique and valuable tool for discovering and booking. View this post on Instagram A post shared by onezone (@onezoneapp) How do you continuously refine the user journey experience and manage user retention? We're obsessed with feedback. We see how users move through the app, where they drop off, what they save, and where they click out. Then we iterate and refine. We use hot tip hacks, curated content drops, industry insights and smart notifications to keep people coming back. We also run surveys, ask questions and trial quickly/adapt swiftly, until we get it right. Ultimately, people return because they trust us, and we work hard to earn that trust. onezone has the finger on the pulse on the coolest city hot spots. View this post on Instagram A post shared by onezone (@onezoneapp) What does it take to curate each city? Curating the world requires a curated team with a unique set of skills: 1. Deep Hospitality Knowledge/Expertise: Our team possesses extensive knowledge of the hospitality industry, enabling us to identify and evaluate the best places that align with our vision for onezone. 2. Understanding of Audience Needs: We have a keen understanding of what our audience, community and users desire – be it the latest brands, culinary trends, ambiance or service standards. This insight helps us curate experiences and a platform that truly resonates with our users. 3. Unmatched Work Ethic: Our team is committed to excellence; willing to rise at any time to capture the best content for the app; spending hours with our partners/industry operators to listen and understand their challenges; and constantly revising, adapting and improving to create the best product and service for our users. This dedication reflects our desire to curate the best platform for both users and partner brands, always striving to do our utmost and whatever it takes. How many people are in your team now and did you start out alone? I began this journey as a solo founder, with past experience making me aware that co-founders can sometimes introduce strife and turmoil in a business. Over the past three years, I have carefully built a lean team of five experts. Each team member has ownership of their respective department, allowing us to fill each other's blind spots, and be accountable to one another, for our combined success. We passionately support each other, operate at a high level and continuously challenge each other to improve and aspire to be better. This collaborative spirit is instrumental to our growth and success. View this post on Instagram A post shared by onezone (@onezoneapp) As a tech entrepreneur, what would you advise for those looking to follow the same path and those who are starting out? ∙ Be grateful and stay humble – not everyone has the opportunity to do something extraordinary. ∙ Prepare yourself to sacrifice the 'normal' – if you see this as your life, you'll do good. If it's a job, if it's 'work', you probably won't. ∙ Be obsessed with your industry. I live and breathe hospitality. Be outrageously persistent, knock down every door, and always find another way forwards. ∙ Stay scrappy, pivot quickly and make decisions; there is no right or wrong. Be careful who you take advice from and be extra careful who you take money from. ∙ Find your team – they will make every day better. ∙ Ultimately surrender. Do everything you can and then believe it will be. What were the challenges you overcame and how did you tackle this? Being a female founder in the tech industry can be particularly challenging. Female founders often face disparities in securing funding and high valuations as males tend to favour male-led startups, leading to a significant gender gap in investment opportunities, from both angels and venture capitalists. Gender biases can also lead to stereotypes that undermine the credibility of female founders. This can affect how our ideas are received, how seriously we are taken in male-dominated environments, and it can be harder for us to establish connections, mentors and networks. Our company ethos does not allow bias and stereotypes to prevent progress. We have strengthened our business with an advisory board and strategic investors who share their expertise and experience to advance onezone's mission. This is The Discovery Issue – what has been a recent game changing discovery? We see a unique opportunity to develop an AI product based on our curated dataset. In an industry where artificial intelligence has struggled to deliver expert recommendations due to a reliance on broad data scraping, onezone can leverage its specific, high-quality, curated content to provide meaningful insights and recommendations that truly resonate with our users. This discovery enhances our value proposition and positions us for future growth and innovation in the hospitality sector. Another exciting discovery has been the recent realisation that our platform is actively driving consumer trends. More users are exploring new places thanks to our app, which highlights incredible spots in their vicinity. We've received feedback from self-proclaimed foodies who initially downloaded the app skeptically, only to find themselves pleasantly surprised by the number of exciting restaurants they had never known existed nearby. Additionally, we've discovered that the next generation of consumers lacks a centralised, curated source for private dining rooms and event spaces. By building a trusted brand, onezone has the opportunity to fill this gap in the market, meeting the needs of both our users and partners. This emphasises the value of building a two-sided curated hospitality marketplace.

Families of victims killed in Chaparral crash receive $190M
EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) — Survivors and families affected by a hit-and-run fatal crash that occurred in 2023 in Chaparral, New Mexico, were awarded a $190 million verdict by a Santa Fe jury on Tuesday, April 22, Glasheen, Valles & Inderman Injury Lawyers announced in a news release. As we previously reported, in January 2023, Jose Marrero, 20, and Desiree Seanez, 20, were both killed in a three-vehicle crash on Highway 213 in Chaparral. El Paso man accused of killing 2 in Chaparral crash The crash occurred when James Patrick Woods was driving north on Highway 213 at a high rate of speed when he crossed into oncoming traffic and hit a vehicle, which Marrero was driving, and Seanez was a passenger in. Woods' vehicle then went airborne and struck the third vehicle head-on, according to an affidavit. According to the affidavit, Woods then fled the scene on foot and was later located. Deputies said they located an open bottle of Fireball, an alcoholic beverage, on the floor where Woods' vehicle rolled over. Woods was then charged with two counts of homicide by vehicle, failure to render aid, resisting and evading arrest, immediate notice of an accident, and open container. According to the law firm, the jury determined that Woods was acting within the course and scope of his employment at the time of the crash. 'The jury also concluded that the parent company of the defendant home builder was the employer of the drunk driver, despite attempts to shift liability to a smaller subsidiary,' read the news release by the law firm. 'This verdict sends a strong message that companies cannot avoid accountability by hidingbehind corporate structures,' said Noe Valles of Glasheen, Valles & Inderman Injury Lawyers,one of the attorneys for the plaintiffs. 'Our clients have endured unimaginable loss, and thisdecision reflects the severity of the wrongdoing and the need for corporate responsibility.' According to the law firm, 'the jury's decision provides justice to the families and highlights the dangers of impaired driving, particularly when it intersects with corporate negligence.'

57 clear UPSC exam from Tamil Nadu, 50 backed by ‘Naan Mudhalvan'
CHENNAI: Candidates from Tamil Nadu appearing for the Civil Service Examination have done notably better this year as demonstrated by the 2024 results released by the Union Public Service Commission on Tuesday, with at least 57 from the state clearing the exam, compared to the 45 last year. Significantly, 50 out of the 57 availed of the state government's scholarship under the Naan Mudhalvan scheme. Of the 50, 18—including the state topper— prepared through the government's free residential coaching facility under the scheme. The All India Rank one (AIR 1) was secured by Shakti Dubey from Uttar Pradesh, one among the three women in the top five. Haryana's Harshita Goyal and Maharashtra's Dongre Archit Parag placed second and third respectively. This time, five candidates from TN placed in the top 50, with B Sivachandran securing 23rd AIR. Gee Gee A S secured 25th rank in the country and came second in Tamil Nadu, while Subash Karthik, R Monika and Pavitra P from the state secured 29th, 39th and 42nd AIR respectively. 'TN should aspire to repeat its 2014 performance in future UPSC exams' Last year, the state topper had secured 41st AIR and only five from TN placed in the top 100. Although accurate state-wise numbers are still awaited, data compiled by retired IAS officers and coaching centres show that, of the 1,009 successful candidates, at least 57 are from Tamil Nadu. They said the numbers could rise further as some TN candidates have opted to appear for the exam from centres outside the state too. Many who cleared the examination and those from coaching centres attributed the assistance provided by the government's Naan Mudhalvan scheme as a key contributor to the improved results. 'We have the best results in terms of quality and quantity this year, compared to the past three years,' said S Chandru, academic head of the Shankar IAS Academy. Under the scheme, eligible candidates appearing for preliminary Civil Services Examination can avail a scholarship of `7,500 per month for a period of 10 months, and those preparing for the main examination, a scholarship of Rs 25,000. In this year's budget, the government announced an additional incentive of Rs 50,000 to those advancing to the interview stage. Naan Mudhalvan officials said the state's initiative has started yielding desired results in just one year's time. 'It is a proud moment for us that out of the 200 students who underwent coaching at our (residential) facility in Chennai, 18 have qualified,' said Indian Railway Personnel Service (IRPS) officer C Sudhagaran, who is presently the Mission Director of Competitive Exams under the scheme. He said the 200 candidates were selected through an examination. Thereafter, a team worked dedicatedly to help the students to prepare strategically. 'Besides retired bureaucrats, officers currently in service also provided insights to the students, which played a crucial role in their success,' said Sudhagaran. R Monika, who attended the state-provided coaching classes, seconded the opinion. 'We got guidance from the present batch of IAS, IPS officials with whom we could connect and relate with. Their guidance is the USP of the coaching facility,' she said. Chandru noted that many students, after one or two failed attempts in the main exam, were forced to quit due to financial constraints. However, the scholarship and residential facility provided under Naan Mudhalvan has helped many from downtrodden sections of society to continue with their preparation. He recalled that in 2014, 119 of the 1,126 selected candidates were from TN and said the state should aspire to repeat such a performance.
