Johnson, founder of the ‘Blueprint’ project aimed at reversing ageing, will promote his book and his ‘Don’t Die’ community during the visit. Johnson recently shared a series of India-centric posts on X (formerly Twitter), including a playful reference to actor Poonam Pandey. In one tweet, he said, “Hello India. I have been told the only person who believes in ‘Don’t Die’ is Poonam Pandey. We are about to change that. I am in Mumbai from December 1-3 and in Bangalore from December 4-6,” adding the hashtag “MarnaMat” (don’t die). A former Silicon Valley executive, Johnson spends over $2 million annually on anti-ageing treatments. His meticulous routine includes waking at 4:30 am, consuming a 1,950-calorie diet, taking over 100 supplements daily, and undergoing targeted exercises. His quest to reverse ageing has involved unconventional methods like blood transfusions from his teenage son and gene therapy. Despite these efforts, his experiments sometimes backfire. Earlier this month, he shared a bloated image of his face after an attempt to inject donor fat to look younger. While the results were initially alarming, Johnson later reported a full recovery. Johnson rose to prominence after selling his credit card processing company, Braintree, to PayPal for $800 million in 2013. Since then, he has invested in technologies addressing Alzheimer’s and strokes.
MAUI – The No. 2-ranked UConn men’s basketball team dropped an overtime thriller, 99-97, to Memphis to open the Maui Invitational at the historic Lahaina Civic Center on Monday. The Huskies trailed by 12 with three minutes left in regulation, but freshman Liam McNeeley led a comeback effort and Solo Ball nailed a 3-pointer with a fraction of a second left, sending the game to overtime. Coach Dan Hurley, angry with the referees from the very beginning of the game, was called for a costly technical foul with 40 seconds left as he argued an over-the-back foul against McNeeley, and the Tigers went up four. Hassan Diarra scored eight points for the Huskies in overtime, but was forced to heave a shot at the buzzer that was off the mark. UConn is now 4-1 on the season and 9-4 all-time in the Maui Invitational. After their first loss in their last 17 games dating back to last season, the Huskies will meet the loser of Game 2 between Colorado and Michigan State on Tuesday. The tone was set early as Samson Johnson collected his first foul about 20 seconds in. It took only four minutes for the first technical to be called against UConn’s bench. The foul trouble continued as Johnson, McNeeley and Ball picked up two a piece midway through the opening half. UConn finished the game with 29 total fouls, sending Memphis to the free throw line for 40 shots. UConn struggled to operate through the physicality of Memphis’ defense, but Tarris Reed Jr. (22 points, 11 rebounds) held his own to keep UConn in the game as the Tigers started 3-for-5 from beyond the arc. Sophomore Jaylin Stewart, only averaging 2.8 points in 12.8 minutes per game, took advantage of his opportunity as the Huskies’ deficit grew to six. He made a 3-pointer and scored seven consecutive points, dunking to tie the game before Reed slammed another to take the lead. The first half was Adama Sanogo-esque for Reed, who went into the break with 15 points and seven rebounds. He and Stewart combined to score UConn’s final 22 points of the half, enough to keep up with Memphis’ 13-for-23 shooting from the field, 5-for-10 from beyond the arc, and knot the halftime score at 40. But UConn’s offense couldn’t keep up in the second half. Ball started UConn’s scoring with a 3-pointer, but it was more than four scoreless minutes before Karaban made his third triple of the game to quell a 5-0 Memphis run. Stewart reentered and almost immediately slammed a putback dunk off a McNeeley miss with 14 minutes to go, tying the game back up at 48. Stewart didn’t score again, however, and finished the game with 16 points and five boards. The Huskies started the second half just 3-for-10 from the field in the second half before Hunter and Mahaney traded triples and Karaban hit all three from the line after he was fouled on a 3-point attempt, tying the score for the 11th time. But the shots didn’t stop falling for Memphis. Hunter, 7 for his first 10 3-pointers, hit one from the corner while drawing the fourth foul on Mahaney and converted the four-point play. He was good again from beyond the arc 30 seconds later, pushing Memphis’ lead to 10 points with 8:09 left in the game. Memphis’ lead grew to 13 before Karaban’s fourth triple of the game with 3:37 left. Reed dunked twice to keep the game from getting out of hand, but fouled out with about three minutes left. McNeeley, quiet with just two points through the game’s first 37 and a half minutes, nailed back-to-back 3-pointers and cut the Huskies’ deficit to four with 1:38 to go. The Huskies forced a turnover down three with 14 seconds left, and Ball sent the game to overtime with a 3-pointer just before the buzzer. Johnson fouled out with a technical foul in the overtime period and finished with just two points, and Ball fouled out with 13 seconds left in overtime.
Pennsylvania legislators’ base salaries will crack the $110,000 mark for the first time starting next month due to inflation-based cost-of-living adjustments. Rank-and-file members of the state House of Representatives and Senate will receive annual salaries of $110,015.54 starting Dec. 1, according to soon-to-be published pay tables. Lawmakers receive their salaries in monthly payments. Current pay is $106,422.33, with the 3.38% raise coinciding with October’s year-over-year Consumer Price Index increase for the mid-Atlantic metro region that includes Pennsylvania. Under a 1995 amendment to Pennsylvania’s compensation law, pay for judges, legislators and most state-level officials is tied to regional CPI inflation. Lawmakers’ automatic raises are based on the October CPI data that is published in November, with the raises kicking in Dec. 1. Lawmakers who hold leadership positions within the House and Senate receive additional compensation that also rises with the CPI. The president pro tempore of the Senate and the speaker of the House will have salaries of $171,741.28 as of next month. The four floor leaders – both parties in both chambers – will see their pay rise to $159,398.47, with each caucus’ officers receiving slightly smaller premiums over base lawmaker pay. Pennsylvania’s legislature is one of the largest and highest-paid in the nation, with 203 members of the House and 50 state Senators. Only New York and California have higher base pay for lawmakers, according to tracking by the National Conference of State Legislatures. By contrast, many other states have much smaller legislatures that do not meet year-round, as Pennsylvania’s does. Maryland, for instance, pays legislators $54,437 for a session that is limited to 90 days from January to April, according to the NCSL. The commonwealth’s automatic salary-setting has its supporters and detractors. The main argument in favor of the law is that it saves legislators from spending time and political capital debating their own pay every year, and guarantees that lawmakers who aren’t independently wealthy will be able to continue to serve despite rising costs-of-living. Critics have said the raises are often excessive; when the pay amendment passed in 1995, legislative salaries were just $47,000. Several legislators have long told PennLive that they return their raises to the state treasury or give the amount to charity. In 2020, the legislature passed a law to cancel its own pay increases amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. But the freeze was one-year-only and had limited impact given that inflation was low during the COVID recession. Lawmakers then received large raises in December of 2021 and 2022 amidst large CPI increases. The legislature’s automatic cost-of-living adjustments also stand in contrast to some sectors of Pennsylvania’s public workforce, whose raises have been sporadic at best. In 2001, the state overhauled the benefit scales for public school teachers’ pensions – but those teachers who retired prior to 2001 have seen stagnant retirement pay for over two decades, and the legislature has thus far failed to reach a deal to rectify this.CIF urges politicians to prioritise local businesses

Modern Family remains one of the best sitcoms of all time and, thanks to streaming, people can continue to revisit it. It's one of the rare series that ran for over 10 seasons , as it ended with 11 seasons and 250 episodes. The show featured a wonderful ensemble cast that included Aubrey Anderson-Emmons, who played Lily Tucker-Pritchett. Today, the actress is "grateful" for her experience on the Emmy-winning show, but she may not recommend child acting to everyone. Aubrey Anderson-Emmons was just four years old when she took over the role of Lily amid Season 3 of the aforementioned show, and she played it through the remainder of the series. As her character grew up she became a fan-favorite for her sass and sarcasm, even at a young age. Anderson-Emmons herself also received praise for her work. The former child star, along with her mother, recently appeared on Trisha Paytas’ Just Trish podcast , where the host and influencer mentioned that she was thinking about getting her young kids into acting since she was never able to when she was their age. The veteran Modern Family cast member didn't totally try to dissuade the social media maven from moving forward with that plan, but she did give her take on why Paytas should wait until her kids are older: I would say wait 'til they know what they want to do. ... Modern Family has brought me so many blessings into my life, and I'm forever grateful. But I think kids need to have a normal experience, and I don't know if that's the way to do it. And I feel like I definitely was more troubled when I became older because of the show. Those are reasonable thoughts. Show business is said to be tough, but I'd imagine that taking part in it at such a young age before you’re really able to make decisions for yourself is even harder. I can’t imagine having that kind of pressure or no control over things. Still, it’s clear that Aubrey Anderson-Emmons still holds her former show near and dear to her heart, and she still hangs out with her TV family from time to time. Yet the now-17-year-old actress is not shy about admitting what life was like immediately after Modern Family, and it sounds like it wasn’t easy: I was like 12 [when the show ended]... I would just say wait, because I felt I didn’t really know what I wanted to do after the show, and I think figuring out your hobbies and experiences for yourself is important, not having your parents choose for you. And it’s not like [my mom] chose that for me, because I said I wanted to do it. But it’s like, how do you choose what you want to do for eight years when you’re 4 years old? She did indeed spend a good chunk of her childhood on the beloved ABC show and was almost a teenager when the series wrapped. For a while, acting was all she knew, so one can understand why it was tough for her to find another outlet after the show ended. I can’t blame her for recommending that others hold off on the child acting until they're of an age that they're truly cognizant of whether or not they want it. Anderson-Emmons might have not known what she wanted after the series ended, but she is making sure to get as much normal school experience as she can. The young actress went to prom earlier this year, and many fans had sweet comments referencing her show and her TV dads, Cam and Mitch. She also has not acted since the series' conclusion in 2020, aside from the short Tailwinds this year. On that note, though, it seems like she's content with making decisions for herself in regards to what she really wants to do with her life. CINEMABLEND NEWSLETTER Your Daily Blend of Entertainment News I love seeing just how mature and well-adjusted Aubrey Anderson-Emmons is at this point in her life. And, while she's moved on from Modern Family , you can still revisit her work using a Hulu subscription or a Peacock subscription .Stock market today: Wall Street closes higher as the Dow reaches another record

At this point, most teams probably know whether they should make roster changes in 2025. Here are five players on the hottest seats and a prediction for each: Atlanta Falcons QB Kirk Cousins Is it time for rookie QB Michael Penix Jr. to replace Cousins? In Sunday's 17-13 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers, Cousins threw a season-high four interceptions. In his postgame news conference , Falcons head coach Raheem Morris said he's not planning on benching Cousins. If the QB keeps struggling, the coach may change his mind. Atlanta (6-6) has lost three straight games. During this stretch , Cousins has six interceptions and no TD passes, posting a subpar 38.8 QBR. The Falcons probably won't release Cousins — who's in the first year of a four-year, $180M deal — this upcoming offseason. Per Spotrac , cutting him with a post-June 1 designation would incur $40M in dead cap in 2025 and $25M in 2026. Still, don't be surprised if No. 8 overall pick Penix debuts sooner rather than later. Prediction: Falcons bench Cousins and have him battle with Penix for starting job in 2025. New York Jets QB Aaron Rodgers Rodgers, 41, recently told ESPN's Pat McAfee he's unsure whether he'll play in 2025. The QB said the Jets would be his "first option" if he does. New York, however, may divorce him. Rodgers underwent Achilles surgery in 2023. Clearly, the injury could still be affecting him. Through 12 starts, he has a 3-9 record and has the fourth-lowest QBR (48.5) of his career. The four-time MVP also seems to be losing his arm strength. According to Pro Football Focus , he has completed 41.1% of his passes between 10-19 yards, 38th out of 40 eligible QBs (min. 22 attempts). Spotrac estimates cutting or trading Rodgers with a post-June 1 designation would yield $14M in dead cap in 2025 and $35M in 2026. Expect the Jets to move on from him despite the expenses. On a Sunday episode of "NFL GameDay," NFL Media's Ian Rapoport said Rodgers returning to the Jets next season is a "long shot." Prediction: Jets cut Rodgers, and he signs with a QB-needy team, perhaps the Raiders or Titans. Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker Tucker seemed automatic through his first 12 seasons, but he's no longer one of the most accurate kickers in the league. In Sunday's 24-19 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, Tucker missed an extra point and two field goals. Following the loss, Ravens head coach John Harbaugh told the media he's not planning on replacing Tucker. Unless Tucker snaps out of his funk, Harbaugh should reconsider. Tucker's kicking woes could cost Baltimore (8-5) in the playoffs. Through his first 13 games, the five-time first-team All-Pro has made a career-low 70.4% of his field-goal attempts. Prediction: Ravens bench Tucker before regular season ends and move on from him in 2025. Los Angeles Chargers edge-rusher Joey Bosa Bosa — who agreed to a $7M pay cut and $15M guarantee this past offseason— has failed to solidify his future with the franchise. Through his first nine games, he has three sacks and 10 pressures, via Pro Football Reference. The injury-riddled pass-rusher can't seem to stay healthy, either. Bosa, 29, has battled hip and back issues this season. Bosa's contract includes a potential out this offseason. If the Chargers activate it, it will result in $11.1M in dead cap . L.A. should try to trade him before cutting him. Teams that need help at edge-rusher (Cardinals and Bengals?) may be interested in the former Pro Bowler. Prediction: The Chargers trade or release Bosa. New Orleans Saints QB Derek Carr Through his first nine starts, Carr has completed 68.1% of his passes for 14 TDs and four interceptions, but he's 4-5. Carr is in the second year of a four-year, $150M deal, making him a potential cut candidate in 2025. If he's still on the roster on the third day of the league year in March, his 2025 salary ($30M) becomes fully guaranteed. (His contract contains a no-trade clause.) Saints backup QB Spencer Rattler didn't look like the answer when he filled in for an injured Carr earlier this season. The rookie out of South Carolina and Oklahoma went 0-3 in three starts, tossing one TD and two picks. Spotrac projects the Saints will be $77.39M over the cap in 2025. Instead of signing a free agent, they may draft a QB, perhaps Texas' Quinn Ewers or Georgia's Carson Beck. Prediction: Saints release Carr and draft his replacement.phototechno November 2024.
