The duo, who were first rumored to be dating in late 2023, reportedly had an on-again-off-again romance. Rumors about the couple and Carpenter’s music led to fans questioning the actor’s motives. In fact, they believe “Please Please Please,” Carpenter’s smash hit is all about Keoghan. Is there any truth to that, though? Is ‘Please Please Please’ about Barry Keoghan? Sabrina Carpenter’s song, “Please Please Please,” took the world by storm earlier this year. Not only is the tune catchy, but the words appear to resonate strongly with Capenter’s fanbase. While we can enjoy the song for what it is, we are also curious about its origin story. Fans largely assume it’s about Keoghan because the actor appeared in the music video. While that’s a solid clue, the lyrics also align with the couple’s relationship. In the song, Carpenter begs her love interest not to embarrass her in front of her friends, many of whom question his motives. In one verse, Carpenter points out that the man she’s signing to is an actor. She also talks about her man’s culture, which could point to Keoghan’s Irish heritage. Carpenter was born in Pennsylvania. While there is plenty of reason to believe the song is about Keoghan, Carpenter has never confirmed it. At the same time, she’s never denied it, either. In fact, Carpenter herself has fed some of the rumors back before ending her romance with the Irish actor. In June 2024, Carpenter commented on one of Keoghan’s Instagram uploads referencing the song. She simply said, “I heard that you’re an actor.” Why did Barry Keoghan and Sabrina Carpenter break up? Whether “Please Please Please” is about Keoghan or not, the story foretells their eventual downfall. The former flames have officially split, and it doesn’t seem like it happened amicably. While initial reports suggested the couple’s schedules were no longer aligned, leaving them with no time to work on their relationships, rumors are swirling that the breakup was much nastier and far more one-sided. An insider spoke with Entertainment Tonight and suggested the romance didn’t end amicably or mutually. The alleged insider told the publication that Carpenter ended the romance but that she isn’t “sad” about it. They did not speak on Barry Keoghan’s feelings , nor did they reveal why she decided to call it quits. Not everyone is willing to stay quiet about potential reasons behind the split. Influencer Livvy Dunne seems to suggest that Keoghan cheated on Carpenter. Recently, Dunne commented on a TikTok, alleging that someone had “homewrecked” Carpenter’s relationship. While Dunne didn’t name any names, fans think another influencer might be involved. Keoghan has deactivated his social media accounts amid the breakup frenzy. Carpenter is staying surprisingly quiet about the situation.Mocha Mousse: Pantone's Color of the Year 2025 reflects our ‘desire for every day pleasures’Xerox Holdings Corp. stock underperforms Thursday when compared to competitors

Why I think these 2 ASX 300 stocks will beat the market in 2025Uncovering a Centaur’s Tracks: UCF Scientists Examine Unique Asteroid-Comet HybridGreg McLean made his name creating eerily familiar characters: good old-fashioned Aussie blokes whose turn of phrase, anti-authoritarianism and sense of humour remind viewers of the people who populated their childhoods. or signup to continue reading Almost two decades after it was released, he says people still tell him reminds them of their uncle. "Even though he's a crazy serial killer, there's a real affection for the character - people love Mick Taylor. It's really weird," he says. In his latest offering, , the murder is implied but McLean's love for the land and its people remains clear. The setting may be thousands of kilometres away on a remote Northern Territory cattle farm, but the characters and backgrounds come directly from his own childhood growing up on a farm in Emu Creek on the outskirts of Bendigo. As a child, McLean attended Eppalock Primary School with about 25 other students, before starting high school at Catherine McCauley. At the end of the first episode of , when cattle baron Colin Lawson looks down at a picture of his father, it's not an actor in an artificially aged photograph, but a real photo of McLean's father as a young jackaroo in the 1940s. "It's meant to be Colin looking at his dad... but that's kind of my own story of growing up with a dad who was from the land." There's a bit of his uncles and cousins in all the characters in , he says, and a lot of his childhood in everything he does. In spite of any head start he may have had from his upbringing, McLean describes the beginning of filming in the Northern Territory as a comedy of errors. "You can imagine the contrast between a bunch of film crew from Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide rocking up in their floral shirts and loafers to the Northern Territory and going 200 kilometres south to the middle of the desert to a cattle station. There was a lot of amused looks." Filming began at the end of 2023 at Tipperary Station and Hawk Dreaming (most of the interior shots were filmed later in South Australia) when the temperature was starting to edge towards 40 degrees. McLean described production meetings held in sweltering temperatures with the film crew at one end of the table - at the other, a group of hardened cattlemen there to help them shuffle vast herds of animals into frame. "I'm there with the storyboard saying, 'in this scene in the script, 3000 cattle come over this rise and this actor rides behind and then a bull breaks off to the left, and he chases that one and then a chopper comes down'." "They're just looking at us like, 'what the hell are you talking about?'" By the end of filming, however, McLean says production was a well-oiled machine, recalling one cattleman sitting beside him on the video split and giving acting notes. Those same cattlemen would later join McLean and the rest of the crew at the Darwin premiere of the show. "It was so satisfying to see those people see themselves on screen, see their lifestyle represented. "They love seeing the NT shown in such a spectacular way because it's their home." "To be able to capture that with this crew was pretty special." A second season will depend on but with its track record of reaching the top 10 in 74 countries and number two globally for English TV shows, McLean is hopeful. "I don't know if it could go any better than it is," he says. With so much of appeal - to both international and domestic fans - being the harshness of the land it's filmed on, he's also in talks with Netflix about a documentary showcasing the "military-scale exercise" needed to tackle it. "You can't go in there and impose your will on it, because the sun will do what the sun's going to do, the clouds are going to do what the clouds will do, the rains, storms, flooding, animals," he says. "Thinking back on it now, you kind of think, 'oh my god, how the hell did we actually do that?'" "At the time, you kind of get blasé - all you're doing is trying to get your shots done." "You forget how extraordinary the moment is where it's all happening." Journalist at the Bendigo Advertiser. Email me at georgina.sebar@austcommunitymedia.com.au Journalist at the Bendigo Advertiser.

By Kene Obiezu Unemployment in Nigeria which is a direct brainchild of purulent politics and ineffective economics of successive Nigerian governments is having a ripple effect in the country, an effect which cuts across multiple channels. According to multiple reports, the chairman of Igbo-Etiti Local Government Area of Enugu State, Eric Odo, has appointed Senior Special Assistants on yam, garden egg and pepper. The appointments which have come complete with appointment letters and portfolios have gone viral and clearly look ridiculous in the extreme, but the method in the madness is not lost on keen observers of the Nigerian political scene. First, there is a renewed focus on local government areas in Nigeria. The epochal judgment of the Supreme Court which granted financial autonomy to Nigeria’s 774 local government areas means that more than ever, their case to control their funds and have more impact on rural populations is stronger. As a result of this, local governments which have always been battlegrounds for state governors and their opponents have become the centre of renewed attention. The destructive hysteria surrounding local government elections in Rivers, Kano, Plateau and Anambra states is testament to this. Second, Nigeria’s politics is based on an extensive reward system that values sycophancy, nepotism and cronyism above all else. State governors have been known to dole out appointments within their states as if they are doughnuts, rolling out sensitive state agencies to their cronies as rewards for loyalty manifested as previous or ongoing service, many of them shady and seedy. Third, there is the grotesque spectre of unemployment which hangs over Nigeria like a pod of overripe breadfruit. With many people qualified but unemployed in Nigeria, politics and the balkanization of political offices has seemingly become a way out of government’s failure to create jobs. In Nigeria, all manner of political appointments have been floated at different levels of government as if to mock the sensibilities of Nigerians. Mere councillors have been known to appoint dozens of assistants, assign them nebulous portfolios and then deploy them to carry out all manner of nefarious tasks in service of Nigeria’s notoriously fickle political gods. One such local government councillor in Nasarawa State when queried about his appointment of dozens of young people as aides cheekily replied that it was his own way of creating jobs. This kind of shallow thinking is precisely what is so antithetical to development in Nigeria. This duplicity of government functions and proliferation of offices has had disastrous consequences for performance and the public funds. With so many political busybodies translating to more mouths to feed than hands for work, productivity suffers while public funds dry up. This tendency to create political offices to cater for cronies is giving impetus to the fierce jostle for political appointments, which diminishes public office and undermines performance in government. As Nigeria grapples with soaring corruption and steep poverty levels, the question of the outrageous cost of governance has come up again and again. Proliferation of political offices is a chief driver of the cost of governance because each office created means more salaries and running costs. In a country where there is a sea of sticky fingers, there is no prize for guessing that many of such new offices will be conduits for siphoning public funds. This unimaginatively ridiculous move by the LG chairman also highlights the need to sound a reveille of caution to local government chairmen across the country. While it is true that many of them were planted by state governors, rather than elected as local government chairmen, the financial autonomy granted local government areas by the Supreme Court must not be taken as a leeway to bankroll jamborees or debaucheries. For years, local government areas around the country were criminally neglected. The new financial dispensation is a historic opportunity to extend the dividends of democracy to local government areas. The opportunity must not be frittered away. It is time to work and no time to settle political scores or cronies. XXXNone

The playoff was previously held in Atlanta in 2018. “We are honored to be the first city to repeat as host for the CFP national championship and look forward to welcoming college football fans from around the country in January,” said Dan Corso, president of the Atlanta Sports Council and Atlanta Football Host Committee. “This event gives us another opportunity to showcase our incredible city.” The College Football Playoff is the event that crowns the national champion in college football.

The National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) approved $10,161,429.01 in funding through the State Digital Equity Capacity Grant Program (Capacity Grant Program) for the State of Arkansas. The Arkansas State Broadband Office (ARConnect) will utilize this funding to implement programs outlined in the state’s Digital Skills and Opportunity Plan, a comprehensive approach to addressing the digital skills gap that affects every corner of the state. “Growing our broadband infrastructure is a big part of connecting our state, but if Arkansans don’t have the skills to use this new technology, we won’t fully realize its benefit,” said Governor Sanders. “This funding will be critical to closing the digital divide and putting communities on the path to success.” “Having digital skills is a critical element of succeeding in the twenty-first century workforce, and Arkansas is committed to preparing its citizens for success,” said Secretary of Commerce Hugh McDonald. “The Arkansas State Broadband Office will play a vital role in helping ensure that Arkansans have the skills and training they need to take part in the workforce of today and tomorrow.” In addition to digital skills work and digital device initiatives, planned programming outlined in the state’s Digital Skills and Opportunity Plan includes expanding high-speed internet access at community anchor institutions like community centers and veterans’ organizations, as well as piloting expanded high-speed internet access at multiple-dwelling units. “Today is another step forward for the State of Arkansas in ensuring that every Arkansan has the ability and opportunity to self-determine their success in the twenty-first century digital economy,” said State Broadband Director Glen Howie. “If we think about economic development throughout the state, small business growth in our communities, and improved quality of life for every Arkansas family, having proper digital skills is a key component to unlocking that future. We are proud to take on that mission.”
