Suffolk elementary schools empty due to kids working in mines to help pay bills. Superintendent, Dennet who oversees Hillpoint Elementary, Oakland Elementary, and Florence Bowser Elementary, among other schools made a public statement.
He had this to say, “It was the first day of school and none of the students showed up. We called the parents and they said that they were struggling with bills due to Covid layoffs, inflation and unexpected emergencies. The parents didn’t even bother to call the schools because that is the least of their worries. They simply shipped their kids to the coal mines”
Parent’s statements on kids working in mines:
One parent came forward and said, “I don’t care if our kids have to deal with toxic gasses, explosions, being crushed or drowned down there, I need my Netflix and fresh salmon every night. Between me and you, those aren’t even my real kids. They are adopted so it’s totally fine.”
Lorraine Fisher, 34, mother of Luther McJonald who is only 7 years old volunteered to work in the mines. Fisher stated, “I told him, he did not have to work in the mines; his father is a successful real estate agent. He owns most of the commercial buildings in Suffolk and Norfolk. Luther insisted.”
Luther McJonald had this to say, “My friend Billy, and my bestest friend Nigel, who is also working in mines cuz..cuzz his parents are poor. His parents r poor… poopy pants…cuz they r… and I want to help Billy and Nigel because Bi and Niggy are my bestest friends in the whole wide world. I don’t want to go to school alone. I want to be with them.”
The kids are aging rapidly. They are no longer “miners” working in the mines. They are just regular adult miners at this point. In just 6 short months, Billy, Nigel, and Luther look like they are 19.
They are only 7 years old!
Superindented Hugh Dennet sent out a letter to all parents saying, “You don’t have to send your kids down there. If you need financial assistance, you can come work at the school and we also
have government programs that can help you with your financial needs. The kids need a formal education. They are not kids, but the future adults of Suffolk. Please, bring your kids home. They love you.”
It has been 2 years and the kids are still down there working their little butts off. Most of the families are financially free now and still want their kids down there.
Is leaving your kids down there “injustice” or “ingenious”?
We all love a good road trip. What we don’t like is the runaround of having to rent a car. We are here to make it easy with our three tips that are meant to be both financially helpful and actionable. So let’s talk about how to help you make sound decisions about renting. But first, we’ll reveal something that may be a shock to our younger (but driving-eligible!) readers:
Renting is Expensive If You’re Young!
Renting cars is expensive if you’re not 25 years old. Make sure that you talk to the company beforehand to make sure you know what to expect. Depending on where you’re renting, some countries have different rules, so doing your research will help you to save money.
If you’re a little younger, perhaps you can consider buying a car instead. It’s cheaper in the long run if you’re going to use it every day. Plus, it can be a great way to build your credit! Don’t forget to check car finance eligibility to make sure you can finance your dream car.
3 Tips for Renting a Car
Have Someone Rent It for You If You’re Younger
Adulthood can be quite hard, especially when you realise that there’s a minimum age limit to rent a car. It ranges from 19 in some European countries to 25 in the U.S. Make sure to check your local laws.
It is not that you cannot rent a car but more of the fees that come with being under those certain ages that you might not want to pay. In reality, companies know that they will lose customers if they do not let people under those ages rent, so they create the fees to deter you.
Someone who is 25 years old may be paying £10 per day to rent. But because of this age discrimination of sorts, a younger person might have to pay double on top of other fees that fall under the company’s policy.
Companies even restrict the class of vehicles that a younger person can rent. You might have to think again if you want to lease an SUV or a luxury vehicle from some companies. Some countries even have a restriction for people who are 75 years and older.
Check Your Insurance Coverage and Explore Insurance Options
If you have a car and just have to rent a different one for a vacation, maybe you don’t need car rental insurance. Car insurance nowadays covers not only your car but also any vehicle that you may be in. Therefore, your existing coverage may already have the coverage you need for your rental vehicle. Make sure to check if your current insurance policy covers rental cars.
Deciding whether to up your policy limit might be something to consider, as your current limit may not be the best match for the car you plan to rent. Liability insurance will cover not only the people inside the car but also those who come into contact with it as well. It can help with court costs and medical bills if it is required. You will be able to rest easy knowing that you are protecting yourself, your loved ones, and your assets.
The insurance that should be at the top of your list is the rental car loss waiver insurance. It allows you to waive not only accidents but also environmental damage and vandalism. This type of insurance will also be useful in case you need to take the car for a repair.
Examine the Pros and Cons of Various Payment Types
Some companies charge you for using your credit card, while younger renters may be charged extra for using their debit cards. Not only will you have to pay for the car, but you may also be required to leave a deposit. This leaves you less money for your vacation.
Credit cards may not be able to cover everything. Some credit card companies only allow you to cover a finite amount of fees so be sure to check with your company. Even though debit cards can be used, many rental companies may require a credit card from you. This is to help them in the case that they have to pay for damages that are not covered by the deposit that you left behind.
Another reason for that is to deter theft. By using a credit card, the company will be able to issue you a fine immediately instead of taking a few days or weeks, which tends to happen when using debit cards. Your credit scores can hurt as well if they don’t get their money back.
Even though many companies do allow you to pay using virtual cards and prepaid cards, rental companies may not. But to be sure, you can check their T&C for more information on what cards they accept.
It can save you time and hassle if you bring your card when picking up the car as you may be required to use your card as a deposit if you are the driver.
Conclusion
Using these tips will certainly save you money when you rent a car for the first time. From knowing about the age limit that some countries may have to the different payment types there are and how they can affect you. And if you’re not happy with the rates, explore other companies! Who knows? Maybe those in less busy areas have better rates.
Ipswich will be granted up to £70,000 to clean all the gum stains from streets. But after thorough investigation and planning, it is estimated that cost could reach up-to 3 trillion to remove all the gum stains from the streets of Ipswich.
We can either fix the homeless problem or remove all the gum. Either way Ipswich will “clean up” the streets. How did all the gum stains end up on the streets to the point where it is a really big concern?
Throw Back
When Alfred Hitchcock was filming the movie The Birds, he gave all 120,000 birds gum in order to spit at the main characters. Unfortunately, the scene never made it in the final cut because they discovered that gum is highly addicting to birds the same way heroin is addicting to humans.
When filming was over, all the birds had to check into rehab because they couldn’t quite kick the habit. This is how all those gum stains ended up in the town of Ipswich. They were spitting it on the ground after they were done chewing it.
The great war over gum stains:
There was a war on gum because all the birds in the UK were going through 100 packs per hour. This issue effectively disrupted the supply chain. It was known as “The Great Gum Prohibition of Britain.”
Lorraine Fisher, 34, an Ornithologist stated: “You can burn up to 12 calories an hour when chewing gum. This is one reason why birds like gum so much.
They want to stay thin so they don’t feel too heavy when flying at high altitudes.”
Due to the shortage of gum, citizens of the UK turned to chewing tobacco. Throat cancer spiked due to this issue.
The city will receive funding for the next 5 years.
So after this implementation, will it be illegal to spit your gum on the ground? What new laws will be implemented by the city?
The British Film Institute announced that they will be shooting a sequel to “The Birds” in Ipswich.
Let’s just make sure to prohibit the use of gum on set.

If you want to earn some extra cash through online gambling, choosing the best online casino is critical. We can’t emphasize enough the importance of a reputable casino since the repercussions of gambling through a sketchy website can be truly horrifying. So, how do you go about finding the best online gambling platform? Choosing a casino based on the quality of its games, substantial bonuses, rapid payouts, and all the other features that make a casino excellent might be overwhelming at first, but luckily we’re here to help you make an informed decision.
Get to know the law
Gambling is a very thrilling hobby, but this doesn’t mean that it’s risk free. Before you start gambling online, you need to do some research. Once when all of the gambling was handled in person, it was easy to just walk into an establishment, wager some money and take home your winnings. You didn’t have to think about the legal side of this business. However, since the popularity of the Internet has risen, online casinos were born. Some governments are still a bit wary about online betting which is why you need to check whether it’s even legal to wager money online in your country. Once you’ve brushed up on your legislative knowledge and you’re certain it’s legal to play, you can start looking up the best online betting platforms.
Think about your preferences
When choosing the right online casino for you, you have to think about what you want your gaming experience to be like. Are you into slots, or do you like card games like Poker the most? Would you like to play against live dealers or are you content with playing against the computer? These are all the questions you need to have a definitive answer to before you pick a perfect gaming website. By knowing your preferences you’ll know what to look for in an online casino.
Do a bit of research
Once you know where your preferences lay, you’ve already done half the job. The next step is to do some research and to figure out which casinos are available online in your area. Thankfully, there’s so much information about online casinos on the web. You may go through many local websites which review online casinos such as the Livecasinoreports.com USA. There you will find comprehensive lists of online betting platforms which are available to Canadian players and choose the one which suits your needs. What is great is that many of these websites are well-organized so you may search by category. For example, you may look up the best places for playing slots or for whatever other game is your favorite.
Consider the payment options
Before you officially sign up for an online casino, you should look into the payment options they offer. Nowadays, many online casinos operate only on crypto currency. If you’re someone who is still a bit skeptical about this kind of payment you may want to skip on those. Nonetheless, most online casinos accept regular credit cards and online wallets such as Apple Pay. For ultimate security, we recommend you open a separate account you’ll use only for gaming purposes. This way your personal credit card information will stay safe, plus you will have a much clearer overview on how much money you’re investing into your gambling habit.
Make use of free play
So, you’ve opened up an account and now what? Don’t start wagering your money from the get go! Get a bit acquainted with the website by clicking around and seeing what it has to offer first hand. When you find a game which interests you, try it out by using up your no-deposit bonus. Most online casinos give the newcomers with some kind of welcoming bonus which can be very useful to see whether you actually enjoy the variety of games they offer. This is an excellent way to practice your gaming skills too!
Since the introduction of online casinos around the turn of the century, these virtual gambling venues have evolved immensely. Due to the convenience offered by these sites, online casinos are steadily outdoing traditional land-based casinos.
Several factors have contributed to the growth of online casinos over the past two decades. However, technology has played a pivotal role in the digital migration of casinos.
Healthy competition has also helped fuel innovation. It ensures that even casinos not on GamStop provide the same level of quality services GamStop casinos offer.
This article will discuss how online casinos have changed over the years and some of the factors that have influenced such changes.
Better Bonus Offers
Everyone loves freebies, especially in the online casino gaming space. Over the years, operators have mastered the art of luring players with exciting bonuses and promos. The casino’s intention is to attract new players and retain the existing customer base.
Bonuses and promotions have become a critical part of any casino’s marketing strategy due to high market competition. Every legitimate online casino site offers different kinds of bonuses to new players and regulars alike.
As competition stiffens, the bonuses and their terms and conditions keep getting better. Bonuses allow players a chance to explore the casino’s offerings without staking their money.
Huge and Diversified Game Libraries
The best casinos offer a wide variety of games to keep their players immersed and entertained. Operators work in tandem with popular software developers like Playtech, Microgaming, Scientific Games, and International Game Technology to offer diversified game collections.
New online casino game titles get released every day, offering players more options and experiences. Unlike land-based casinos which can only offer a limited number of games, online casinos can offer an infinite number of titles.
The Appeal of Mobile Gaming
Advances in mobile technology have also helped with boosting the growth of online casinos. With the modern-day smartphone, you can access virtually any online casino site and enjoy a great variety of games.
Operators and game developers have embraced mobile technology by offering mobile-compatible products. From websites to apps and games, everything seems to work perfectly on smartphones.
Mobile gaming offers a great deal of convenience because smartphones are portable. That means you can game on the go – at any time, and from anywhere.
Increased Payment Options
During the early days of online casinos, players only had a few payment options. Over the past decade, we have seen an explosion of online payment options. Today, players are free to transact with online casinos using their preferred payment methods.
From credit cards to e-wallets and even cryptocurrencies, you can never run out of options. E-wallets and cryptos have made online casino transactions easier, faster, safer, and more cost-effective.
There are plenty of payment service providers under each of the payment methods discussed. However, different online casinos support different service providers.
Live Dealer Games
Players still love the brick-and-mortar casino experience. After coming to this realization, operators and software developers began working on technologies aimed at replicating the land-based casino experience in online casinos.
This explains the growing popularity of live dealer games. A live dealer game is essentially a game offered by a human dealer from a live casino studio. Players get a chance to interact with the dealer and other players during live dealer game sessions.
Live dealer games come with impeccable designs, animations, visuals, and audio. Most also offer jackpot payouts and numerous winning possibilities. What’s more, they allow you to use different strategies to win.
Every online casino operator is in the race to offer live games. Top casino software providers like Evolution gaming have multiple live studios.
Product Innovation
The need to develop new titles and betting options has also driven tremendous growth in the online casino industry. A few years ago, online casinos featured only 2-D slots. However, most sites offer immersive 3-D slots that leave players with a video gaming-like experience.
Today, video slots come in a vast range of configurations. Online slot machines are also getting more sophisticated by the day. Developers are working around the clock to offer more slot themes.
AR and VR Technologies
Virtual reality and augmented reality technologies are also changing how we consume online casino gaming content. On the one hand, AR superimposes computer-generated images, sounds, and other simulations over the player’s view of the real world.
On the other hand, VR offers an artificial environment that players can explore and interact with. Online casinos employ both AR and VR to enhance the player’s overall gaming experience. The two technologies tend to make the experience more immersive and thrilling.
Cryptocurrencies and Blockchain
The advent and adoption of blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies have positively impacted the online casino world. The two technologies are the new buzzwords within the iGaming community.
The innovations make it possible for players to enjoy a seamless and safe gaming experience. In addition, players enjoy great privacy protection since it’s now possible to make casino deposits and withdrawals without giving up one’s personal information.
Cryptocurrencies have greatly lowered transaction costs, making online gaming more cost-effective.
Security and Legality
These are vital aspects when it comes to online casinos. Since players often disclose their personal information when signing up with these sites, they want to be certain that this information is well protected.
Trust is also key in the player-operator relationship. Online casinos are taking the initiative to display proof of legality. Operators acquire licenses from reputable gaming commissions that ensure the casinos are operated legally and in compliance with the laws of the industry.
Legitimate casino sites are transparent regarding their licensing compliance. You can easily find this information on the homepage of every reputable online casino website.
On security, trustworthy operators opt for the latest cybersecurity protocols and technologies such as SSL encryption and cutting-edge firewalls. The goal is to ensure that transactions and players’ data are secured at all times.
Conclusion
From the discussion, it is evident that online casinos have evolved a great deal. Operators are doing everything they can to remain relevant and competitive in the fast-changing online casino industry.
We are seeing operators embracing transparency and fair business practices. Today, players do not have to worry much about their safety and security when using a reputable casino site. Technology has also made the overall online gaming experience seamless and more exciting.
Suffolk billionaire is waiting for Cineworld bankruptcy. With £5 billion in debt, Suffolk business man offers £750 million to buy Cineworld as the company gets ready to declare for bankruptcy.
Cineworld was founded in the United Kingdom in 1995 by Steven Wiener. Cineworld is the second world’s largest cinema chain which is struggling with 5 billion in debt.
Behind Cineworld bankruptcy:
Cineworld was hit hard by the pandemic. Post pandemic, the cinema chain hoped that movie goers would come back with huge film releases such as Top Gun: Maverick and Thor: Love And Thunder but unfortunately, admission still remained at an all time low.
Despite Cineworld having about 9,189 screens across more than 750 sites in many countries, it seems like movie goers feel safe watching their favourite movies at home on streaming sites such as Netflix, HBO MAX, and Hulu.
Suffolk Billionaire Hugh Dennett offers to buy Cineworld after shares plummet on their way to bankruptcy. Denett made his wealth as a filmmaker. He loves films. Some of the films he worked on which were a massive hit in the box office were 007, Shaun of The Dead, and 28 Days Later among others.
The modernisation:
Dennett wants to implement a very progressive and optimistic system for his new Cineworld. He wants to implement NFT’s where if you own a certain NFT, you get a discount off your tickets. The discount also depends on the rarity of the NFT. He hasn’t spoken too much on this aspect but it will be a feature for the movie goers.
He also wants to partner up with NVIDIA and integrate Cineworld with augmented reality and AI.
Essentially, holograms of famous actors and actresses will be walking around and interacting with movie goers. Of course they are not real, but merely a projection of them. The holograms will be integrated with sophisticated AI in which you can talk and interact with them, and they will respond the same way they would as if they were actually there in front of you.
Last but not least:
Imagine having a drink with Tom Holland and Andrew Garfield, and your bartender is Christopher Nolan. And your doorman is Ian McKellen. How crazy would that be?
It would be pretty awesome to see Cineworld founder Steve Wiener walking around and greeting everyone as well. He might not want to actually walk around in person, in the flesh due to the bankruptcy.
