For the majority of artists, making music is financially unsustainable. According to a census conducted by the Musicians’ Union, nearly half of working musicians in the UK earn less than £14,000 a year from their craft, while a further half have to sustain their careers with other forms of income. It’s easy to imagine that these are the aspiring performers making tunes in their bedrooms and moonlighting as bartenders, but even household names are turning to alternative income streams. British singer Kate Nash announced on Thursday that she would start posting pictures of her bottom on adult website OnlyFans to raise money for her tour. The Foundations singer has nearly a million monthly listeners on Spotify, and is playing all across the UK, including a sold out gig in London, but says that touring is a loss making exercise. She started her “Butts 4 Tour Buses” page in order to ensure “good wages and safe means of travel for my band and crew”. Nash would rather you gawk at her gluteus maximus than listen to Foundations on Spotify. "No need to stream my music, I’m good for the 0.003 of a penny per stream thanks," she told her followers on Instagram. For an independent solo artist to make the UK living wage they would need 9 million streams a year. But most artists need far more as revenue is split between bands, with record labels often taking a hefty cut. While Spotify can provide a reliable if paltry source of income, touring is only profitable for musicians playing big venues to sold out crowds. A survey conducted by rehearsal space network Pirate Studios found that only 29% of artists make a profit from tours. Rising costs and a flailing economy have exacerbated this, and a government report earlier this year found that artists are facing a “cost-of-touring” crisis, with travel, accommodation and food prices all higher than ever. Even artists who are ostensibly at the top of their game suffer. English singer-songwriter Rachel Chinouriri released a critically acclaimed album this year, played the Other Stage at Glastonbury and will open for Sabrina Carpenter on the UK and European leg of her tour in 2025. Yet in August Chinouriri had to cancel a series of shows and festivals in the US, saying that "the financial strain of touring has become too much". With her backside hustle, Nash follows in the footsteps of Lily Allen , who started selling pictures of her feet on OnlyFans over summer. She had the idea after seeing that her feet had a perfect five star rating on WikiFeet, a photo-sharing foot fetish website. Subscribers pay £8 a month to access her posts. In October, Allen claimed that shots of her well-pedicured trotters were earning her more money than Spotify streams – and that’s saying something, considering Allen has over 7 million monthly listeners and more than a billion streams on her top three songs. It’s not just a way to bring home the bacon, though: Allen appears to enjoy it. “I’m finding this actually quite empowering,” she said on her podcast, Miss Me, in July. “Having been very sexualized from a very early age, and literally everybody else in the process profiting from that sexualization, it’s actually really fun to be like, in power and in control of something that I find so silly,” Similarly, Kate Nash is not looking for pity. “Don’t be ‘sad’ that I started an onlyfans to fund my tours,” she wrote on Instagram today. “It’s very empowering and selling pics of my arse is fun and funny”. Nash says her “arse is shining a light on the problem” that “music has little to no value”. While Nash and Allen can use their large social media presences to promote their OnlyFans content, most musicians don’t have a following who would be willing to pay for pictures of them. Nash thinks that there needs to be “drastic change” in the music industry . “We need HR departments, we need fair wages. I have had lots of experience of being exploited,” she told LBC. Perhaps this will be the start of industry reform, from the bottom up.

Kevin Stefanski’s Cleveland Browns Job Is Safe for One More Year

Pat Ferschweiler is probably sporting a smile of satisfaction and a knowing nod of appreciation. The Western Michigan Broncos hockey coach had a willing NCAA pupil in Max Sasson, who like anybody else, had a dream of playing in the NHL one day. And despite being passed over in the NHL draft — and also being cut by a USHL junior team — the undaunted 24-year-old Vancouver Canucks forward finally punched his ticket to “The Show” on Saturday night in Ottawa. It was beyond memorable in a 4-3 victory over the Senators to open a six-game road trip. Sasson also collected his first NHL point by making a superb play off the rush in the second period — spinning off a defenceman to and finding a driving Teddy Blueger in the slot — to give the Canucks a 2-1 lead. The effort was wildly celebrated by his family at the Canadian Tire Centre and saluted by Rick Tocchet . “I really liked his game,” said the Canucks head coach, who had Sasson aligned on the fourth line with Aatu Raty and Arshdeep Bains . “To just get called up out of the blue, he seized the moment and it was nice to see him contribute.” Sasson got the call with Brock Boeser (concussion) and J.T. Miller (leave of absence) unavailable against the Senators. The Canucks needed another reliable forward to fill out their lineup and moved Pius Suter from wing back to centre between Dakota Joshua and Conor Garland . “A really special night for my family and friends and people I’ve been with through hockey and life,” Sasson said after logging 7:49, throwing two hits and having a takeaway and the assist. “These guys (Canucks) made it easy. They were excited for me to play my first game and I just felt super comfortable. “I think my last year in junior (Waterloo, USHL) I kind of starting believing (NHL) but I always had an inner belief in myself. And then getting to school (Western Michigan) and skating with better players, I felt I can really do this.” And then came the play Saturday. “I just heard Teddy screaming and that’s the bread and butter in my game, bring the defence at me and pull up and look for the late guy,” said Sasson before breaking out in laughter while seeing a video clip of his family celebrating. Sasson earned the trust of Ferschweiler to be put out in any situation and responded in the 2022-23 season with 42 points (15-27) in 38 games. He finished 13th in NCAA scoring and averaged 1.11 points per outing and that caught the Canucks’ attention. Sasson signed a two-year, entry-level deal with an US$870,000 cap hit that expires this season. He also has 51 points (22-29) in 72 games with Abbotsford of the AHL. Ferschweiler has the look of a drill sergeant and was a Detroit Red Wings assistant for four years under former Western Michigan bench boss Jeff Blashill. Ferschweiler has also guided successful U.S. under-17 and under-18 teams, and Sasson was impressed. “He does things in a very professional manner,” Sasson told Postmedia. “The meetings are super quick and detailed and you get what you need out of everything. “We played a pro style with a smart game and not taking too many chances. The stories he has had about (Henrik) Zetterberg and (Pavel) Datsyuk in Detroit, I’ve taken them in and I can’t say enough about the coaching staff.” You have to love Kiefer Sherwood’s zest for the game . The obvious is the feisty Winger’s NHL-leading hit total of 125 — he had his fourth 10-banger effort Saturday to equal a league record — and the benefit of his heavy forechecking game and the roster reality is top-six minutes. It led to his sixth goal of the season Saturday to tie for the team lead. Sherwood, 29, went hard to the net in the second period and his second whack at a loose puck found the net. It’s how the undrafted Columbus, Ohio native opened eyes to play for four NHL teams. It’s also how he got on the Canucks’ radar last spring as an irritant for the Nashville Predators to land a two-year, $3 million free-agent contract that is paying off. bkuzma@postmedia.comGovernment announces $5.9m funding boost to enable SBS' expansion into Western Sydney

Harry Kane becomes the fastest player to score 50 goals in the BundesligaSeibert misses an extra point late as the Commanders lose their 3rd in a row, 34-26 to the Cowboys LANDOVER, Md. (AP) — Austin Seibert missed his second extra point of the game with 21 seconds left after Washington’s Jayden Daniels and Terry McLaurin connected on an 86-yard touchdown, Dallas’ Juanyeh Thomas returned the ensuing onside kick attempt for a touchdown, and the Cowboys pulled out a 34-26 victory Sunday that extended the Commanders’ skid to three games. Seibert was wide left on the point-after attempt following a bad snap. On the ensuing onside kick attempt, Juanyeh Thomas returned it 43 yards for a touchdown as the Cowboys ended their losing streak at five in improbable fashion. Earlier in the fourth quarter, KaVonte Turpin returned a kickoff 99 yards for a TD. Sam Darnold leads game-winning drive in OT and Vikings beat Bears 30-27 after blowing late lead CHICAGO (AP) — Sam Darnold threw for 90 of his 330 yards in overtime to set up Parker Romo’s game-ending 29-yard field goal, and the Minnesota Vikings outlasted the Chicago Bears 30-27 after giving up 11 points in the final 22 seconds of regulation. Darnold threw two touchdown passes, Jordan Addison caught eight passes for a career-high 162 yards and a touchdown, and T.J. Hockenson had 114 yards receiving for the Vikings, who remained one game behind Detroit in the rugged NFC North. Caleb Williams threw for 340 yards and two touchdowns for the Bears, who lost their fifth straight. Patrick Mahomes and Chiefs win at the buzzer again, topping Panthers 30-27 on Shrader's field goal CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Patrick Mahomes threw for 269 yards and three touchdowns, Spencer Shrader kicked a 31-yard field goal as time expired and the Kansas City Chiefs beat the Carolina Panthers 30-27 to reach double-digit wins for the 10th straight season. The Chiefs bounced back from last week’s 30-21 loss at Buffalo and won at the buzzer yet again in a season of narrow escapes. Noah Brown caught two TD passes and DeAndre Hopkins also had a touchdown catch. Bryce Young finished 21 of 35 for 262 yards and a touchdown for the Panthers, who had their two-game winning streak snapped. No. 1 South Carolina women stunned by fifth-ranked UCLA 77-62, ending Gamecocks' 43-game win streak LOS ANGELES (AP) — Londynn Jones scored 15 points and fifth-ranked UCLA stunned No. 1 South Carolina 77-62. The Gamecocks' overall 43-game winning streak and their run of 33 consecutive road victories were snapped. The Gamecocks, who fell to 5-1, lost for the first time since April 2023. Te-Hina Paopao scored 18 points for South Carolina. The Bruins knocked off a No. 1 team for the first time in school history. The Bruins dominated from start to finish and their defense prevented the Gamecocks from making any sustained scoring runs. AP Top 25: Alabama, Mississippi out of top 10 and Miami, SMU are in; Oregon remains unanimous No. 1 Alabama and Mississippi tumbled out of the top 10 of The Associated Press college football poll and Miami and SMU moved in following a chaotic weekend in the SEC. Oregon is No. 1 for the sixth straight week and Ohio State, Texas and Penn State held their places behind the Ducks. The shuffling begins at No. 5, where Notre Dame returned for the first time since Week 2 after beating Army for its ninth straight win. No. 6 Georgia moved up two spots, No. 7 Tennessee and No. 8 Miami rose three and No. 9 SMU jumped four places. Indiana dropped from No. 5 to No. 10 following its first loss. Thitikul finishes eagle-birdie to win CME Group Tour Championship and claim record $4M prize NAPLES, Fla. (AP) — Down by two shots with two holes to play, Jeeno Thitikul knew exactly what was needed to capture the biggest prize in women’s golf history. And a eagle-birdie finish for the second straight day made it happen. Thitikul claimed the record-setting $4 million first-place check by winning the CME Group Tour Championship on Sunday. It was the biggest money prize in women’s golf history. Thitikul shot a 7-under 65 on Sunday and finished the week at 22 under, one shot ahead of Angel Yin (66). Yin had a two-shot lead walking to the 17th tee, only to wind up settling for the $1 million runner-up check. From Maui to the Caribbean, college hoops' Thanksgiving tournaments a beloved part of the sport College basketball is ready for its Thanksgiving Week closeup.

Jannik Sinner leads Italy past the Netherlands for its second consecutive Davis Cup title MALAGA, Spain (AP) — Jannik Sinner clinched Italy's second consecutive Davis Cup title and capped his breakthrough season at the top of tennis by beating Tallon Griekspoor 7-6 (2), 6-2 for a 2-0 win over the Netherlands in the final of the team competition in Malaga, Spain. Matteo Berrettini won Sunday's opening singles match 6-4, 6-2 against Botic van de Zandschulp. The Italians are the first country to win the Davis Cup twice in a row since the Czech Republic in 2012 and 2013. The No. 1-ranked Sinner stretched his unbeaten streak in singles to 14 matches and 26 sets. Netherlands reached the Davis Cup final for the first time. Verstappen still manages to win 4th straight F1 title in one of worst seasons of his Red Bull career LAS VEGAS (AP) — Max Verstappen won an unbelievable 19 races last season that included an incredible streak of 10 in a row in what would arguably go down as one of the greatest years in Formula 1 history. And yet it is this year’s eight-win season — his lowest victory total since 2020 — that Verstappen considers a career-defining campaign. Those eight wins were enough to win him a fourth consecutive F1 championship on Saturday night with his easy drive at the Las Vegas Grand Prix. The championship made Verstappen only the sixth driver in F1 history to win four or more titles. Maverick McNealy birdies the last hole at Sea Island to finally become PGA Tour winner ST. SIMONS ISLAND, Ga. (AP) — Maverick McNealy is finally a winner on the PGA Tour, and it took a shot he won't soon forget. McNealy was part of a four-way tie for the lead when he drilled a 6-iron to 5 feet on the final hole at Sea Island for birdie and a 68. That gave him a one-shot victory over Daniel Berger, Nico Echavarria and Florida State sophomore Luke Clanton. Berger and Henrik Norlander moved into the top 125 to keep full PGA Tour cards for next year. Clanton continued to show his promise. It was his second runner-up finish and fourth top 10 this year.PHILADELPHIA — Former Eagles running back Wendell Smallwood Jr. is facing federal charges over allegedly defrauding COVID-19 relief programs and the Internal Revenue Service in a series of schemes that resulted in hundreds of thousands of dollars in falsely obtained payments. Federal prosecutors in Delaware charged Smallwood late last month with felony counts of wire fraud, conspiracy to commit wire fraud, and conspiracy to defraud the IRS. Smallwood, prosecutors allege, received more than $46,000 in fraudulent loan proceeds from the Economic Injury Disaster Loan program, which was designed to provide low-interest financing to small businesses amid the pandemic. Between May 2020 and June 2021, Smallwood applied several times to that program using what prosecutors called “defunct or recently registered businesses,” and provided false information about their operations. As a result, the Small Business Administration, which ran the program, approved loans of $15,500 and $30,900 for Smallwood-owned businesses. The loans were allegedly not used for business expenses, and Smallwood instead used them to fund checks, and transferred them to personal checking accounts, court documents indicate. Prosecutors similarly accused Smallwood of conspiring with another person, who was not named in court documents, to fraudulently apply to the Paycheck Protection Program using the names of 13 different people between March and May 2021. Known as the PPP, that program helped small businesses through forgivable loans that were to be used to pay for business expenses including payroll and utilities. Smallwood and his unnamed conspirator, prosecutors allege, submitted fraudulent applications that resulted in more than $269,000 in payouts, court documents indicate. Prosecutors claimed that Smallwood received kickback payments of $4,000 to $12,000 from the people named in the applications. Prosecutors also alleged that Smallwood “recruited individual tax filers” for the tax years 2021 and 2022 as part of a conspiracy that resulted in fraudulent tax refunds from the IRS totaling more than $110,000, according to court documents. As part of that scheme, prosecutors claim, Smallwood allegedly prepared at least 10 tax forms on behalf of others, providing false information about their income and employers. Smallwood has not yet entered a plea, though court documents indicate that he has informed the court that he intends to plead guilty at a hearing scheduled for Dec. 20. An attorney representing Smallwood declined to comment. The charges carry a maximum sentence of 50 years in prison and up to $750,000 in fines, according to court documents. A Delaware native, Smallwood joined the Eagles as a fifth-round pick in 2016, spending three seasons with the team before departing for the team now known as the Washington Commanders following the Birds’ 2018 season. While he was on the Eagles roster for Super Bowl LII, in which the Birds beat the New England Patriots, 41-33, for their first Big Game win, he did not play in the matchup. ©2024 The Philadelphia Inquirer, LLC.

THERE is no festive cheer for Britain this Christmas thanks to Keir Starmer and the decisions taken by his cruel and incompetent Labour Government. Record tax rises are about to hit businesses and charities hard, pensioners have been left in the cold to freeze , and our food production is being put at risk with their attack on our family farms . Since Starmer walked through the doors of 10 Downing Street, we’ve seen Labour mired in scandal and sleaze, ministers failing to stand up for British interests on the world stage by cosying up to China and giving away the Chagos Islands, and manifesto promises discarded like unwelcome Christmas gifts. The sheer duplicity of Labour, who said one thing at the election and gave the British people false hope that Brexit would be safe on their watch, is heinous. Sun readers will be alarmed by Starmer’s plans to betray Brexit and drag Britain back into the EU through the back door. Starmer, his Foreign Secretary David Lammy and most of the Labour Party have never accepted the referendum result. read more on keir starmer Remember, they spent years trying to block Brexit, campaigned for a second referendum and refused to trust the judgment of the British people. Now they are in Government they are working hard to reverse our Brexit freedoms. In recent days we’ve learned that a dedicated unit has been set up in the Cabinet Office to “reset” the relationship with Brussel s. This “surrender squad” consists of more than 100 civil servants and no doubt thousands more will be working across Government departments, allowing the bureaucratic tentacles of the EU’s unaccountable institutions to once again infiltrate our laws and undermine our democracy. Most read in The Sun When we should be cutting the size of the state to ease the burden on taxpayers, Starmer is insulting hard-working families and businesses, forcing them to bankroll his ideological dream of putting Britain back under EU control. Labour will deny that they want to put Britain back into the EU , but they cannot be trusted. The facts speak for themselves. As well as mobilising the machinery of government and civil service to orientate towards the EU, Labour is trying to ram through new laws to empower ministers to align our laws and rules with those set by Brussels . With a failed domestic agenda and growing public anger in him, Starmer is seeking comfort in the platitudes, friendships and company of European leaders. They sense his desperation to secure some form of “reset” and are eager to extract a high price from him. Talk of youth mobility schemes (immigration rights and subsidised tuition fees for the EU’s young people) are high on the EU’s agenda, as will be our fishing stocks and our money. Sun readers should be left in no doubt that these sinister plans to take Britain back under the EU’s control will harm our national interests by chaining our country to Europe’s slow-growth, high-regulation, high-tax model, rather than addressing issues at home and developing opportunities with faster-growing parts of the world. Not only are the actions of Starmer undemocratic, they are unnecessary. Four years ago, on Christmas Eve 2020, Boris Johnson secured a comprehensive trade deal with the EU as part of our post-Brexit vision for Britain. It was a deal many thought could not be secured, but gave us trading opportunities on good terms that meant no tariffs or quotas. It supported our exporters and our world-leading financial services sector. It ensured that we could continue to co-operate and work closely with our European friends and allies when it was in our interest to do so, but no longer be controlled by them. Alongside this new trade deal, worth £660billion at the time, we put in place a security deal to enable us to work jointly to tackle cross-border crime while the end to free movement meant we could put tougher controls on criminals trying to enter the UK. Unleashed from the EU, we have been able to pursue new trade deals including joining the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership. It was Boris Johnson’s Conservative government which respected the referendum result and delivered Brexit. A firm government which ended the years of political deadlock and acrimony that the country hated and which held us back. That Conservative government battled the institutions, the naysayers, the doomsters and the Brexit saboteurs, including Starmer, and gave our country the firm leadership needed to establish our vision of Global Britain. Kemi Badenoch went on to pass the law that ended the supremacy of EU law in this country and led the way to the repeal and reform of 2,000 EU laws. So fast forward to 2025 and it’s clear that Starmer and his Labour Party are desperate to reopen those wounds for ideological reasons. Their mission is to take Britain backwards, on to a path of endless negotiations with Brussels, to take us back into the largest bureaucratic club, where he can hand over decision making and continue to blame someone else for his political failures: Handing our sovereignty over to the EU’s unaccountable penpushers and bureaucrats. READ MORE SUN STORIES Starmer’s combination of his ideological obsession with the EU, his naivety and his incompetence will undermine our national interests, send Britain backwards and betray Brexit. For those of us who care about the democratic freedom of our country and the freedoms the people voted for in 2016, I can tell you now that the Conservative Party will never lay down for this great Labour betrayal of our people and our country — and we will be on the front lines to halt Starmer’s foolish betrayal.KUWAIT: Zain Group, a leading provider of innovative technologies and digital lifestyle communications operating in eight markets across the Middle East and Africa, has launched “The Masters” initiative, empowering 30 individuals with disabilities to create and shape their own experiences and giving them a stage to become leaders through a focus on four core impact areas: Co-creating Zain’s Disability Inclusion strategy; embedding accessibility into all products and services; the Learn and Lead program; and fostering voice and visibility. This never-before-seen opportunity for people with disabilities soon follows Zain’s establishment in September 2024 of the first Corporate Employee Resource Group (ERG) in the region, specifically for individuals with disabilities. Working with PurpleSpace — the networking and professional hub for disabled employees - this partnership signifies a commitment by Zain to create an ERG experience that goes beyond traditional practices, supported by the company’s top management. Bader Al-Kharafi, Zain Vice-Chairman and Group CEO commented: “As a leading regional purpose driven entity, the introduction of The Masters is another one-of-its-kind initiative from Zain that underscores that disability is not merely a term, but an opportunity for people with disabilities to advocate, lead and act. Our mission is to go beyond merely offering telecommunication services, as we focus on addressing deficits and challenges across our footprint and provide meaningful connectivity that leads to equitable systemic change. Throughout all the communities we serve, we intend to leave no one behind in terms of their ability to be as active and engaged in society as possible.” Zain just completed a Learn and Lead program, holding a three-day training program for 15 Masters from across its eight markets of operation, in addition to participants from Omantel. This program, conducted by The Butterfly, a UAE-based organization renowned for disability training, took place between November 12-14 and focused on advocacy, disability awareness self-empowerment, leadership, public speaking, and presentation skills. Following the training, the 15 Masters are set to return to their respective operations and deliver the same training to employees in the lead up to, and post the International Day of Persons with Disabilities, which falls on December 3, 2024. This first-of-its-kind program places disability at the forefront of Zain’s organizational and inclusion outlook, empowering individuals with disabilities to lead sessions, have their voices heard, and see their contributions recognized. The Masters program envisages that employees who are blind, deaf, or with physical disabilities will be given the opportunity to train others at Zain and Omantel, on advocacy, disability awareness self-empowerment, leadership, public speaking, and presentation skills, giving them a stage and opportunity to lead and shape their own experiences. Overall, the expected attendance for The Masters’ ‘Learn and Lead’ sessions is expected to reach approximately 1,000. Through this initiative, all the future Zain and Omantel Masters have the opportunity to advocate for themselves and others, sharing their experiences and becoming leaders wherever they are.
