Blac Chyna Loses Stroller Deal After Fight Video Surfaces
Blac Chyna is no longer the face of the stroller company Momiie after she was caught getting in a fight at Six Flags on Easter. The stroller fight appears to have been the last straw for company executives who said they could no longer move forward with their business relationship with the 29-year-old reality television star, according to TMZ Wednesday. WATCH: “[We] cannot excuse that sort of reaction and behavior particularly in a family resort around children,” a spokesperson for Momiie shared in a statement to the outlet. Sources claim that the partnership with Chyna was already on shaky ground over what head people at the company saw as “behavioral issue” by the former “Rob and Chyna” star and after a leaked sex tape in February surfaced. But the stroller brawl shut down the deal. The reality star was reportedly not only going to be the face of the company, but was working on a collaboration with Momiie to launch her own line down the road.

Even on Easter Sunday, former stripper-turned reality TV star Blac Chyna doesn’t stop. Chyna, 29, caused a scene at Six Flags Magic Mountain in the Los Angeles area on Sunday, and judging by the videos, it’s one of her best exhibitions yet. It’s not immediately clear what set Chyna off on Sunday evening and it probably doesn’t matter. This isn’t her first brawl and it definitely won’t be her last. She yells a few unintelligible threats across the park before ripping her jacket off and lunging for her pink baby stroller. Luckily, her security guard stepped in and prevented her from doing any real damage but the footage is incredible.

Silicon Valley Bank deal offers beleaguered banking investors relief
Regional U.S. lender First Citizens BancShares scooped up the assets of failed peer Silicon Valley Bank on Monday, in a vote of confidence for the battered banking sector that prompted a rally in bank shares. SVB’s collapse this month was the trigger for the worst banking shock since the 2008 global financial crisis, sending bank stocks globally on a wild ride and raising fears of systemic stress that could lead to more bank failures. But news of the SVB deal – after previous attempts to sell the bank failed – and a weekend free of fresh troubles helped boost confidence, especially among fragile U.S. regional banks, whose stocks rose sharply on Wall Street on Monday. SVB deal helps to steady banks amid credit crunch concerns Broader indicators of financial market stress were also calmer, with government bond yields rising and the euro higher against the dollar. “The banking sector had been holding its breath over the weekend, wondering whether Monday morning would deliver … [Read more...] about Silicon Valley Bank deal offers beleaguered banking investors relief

Meet The Three Berkeley Dropouts Empowering Biotechs With Low-Code Cloud-Based Biocomputing
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Most industries today are experiencing an unprecedented data deluge – and synthetic biology is no exception. Twenty years ago, a typical biological experiment generated 3-5 megabytes of information. Today, a routine synthetic biology workflow produces anywhere from 1,000 to 40,000 terabytes. That is a billion times more data! Such a large number of data points is simply impossible to interpret by human eye. This is why almost every bio lab today has to set up custom bioinformatics pipelines, invest in cloud computing, and master advanced data visualization software – all that just to see the results of their experiments. A San Francisco startup, LatchBio , hopes to make data analysis much easier for biologists with its full-stack biocomputing infrastructure. LatchBio emerged from stealth mode in 2021 with a $5 million seed funding round led by Lux Capital. Since then, they have been scaling quickly: in June 2022, they … [Read more...] about Meet The Three Berkeley Dropouts Empowering Biotechs With Low-Code Cloud-Based Biocomputing

Know The Red Flag In Your Portfolio
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Travis Forman, Portfolio Manager at Strategic Private Wealth Counsel - Harbourfront Wealth Management . Not to alarm you, but there may be a red flag in your portfolio. You might have a sound investment plan and be adequately diversified, but how are you protecting your purchasing power? Do you have inflation-fighting assets in your portfolio? Whether we acknowledge it or not, we are in an era of higher inflation. Just a couple of years ago, inflation was low, and interest rates were at rock bottom. As we know, this has changed significantly since then. While peak inflation of 9.1% in the United States and 8.1% in Canada may no longer be a reality, a swift return to the days of 2% inflation is also unlikely.
