It’s never about competition, it’s always about adding.”“Hearing Cari and Jemele talk about their experience really resonated with me. I was all choked up,” said The Cross Connection host, Tiffany Cross. “I just relish in the space and spirit of Black women and recognizing that when we’re together, we’re a power structure.” The event’s emcee, journalist Gia Peppers believes that people don’t leave jobs, they leave management and horrible teams. “Black women having camaraderie in the workplace is the difference between women knowing they can stay at a hard job and people feeling lonely enough that they have to quit. When we see each other, when we create space for each other, when we show up for each other, we can change the world.”

Waikiki Beach Marriott Resort and Spa, since its 5.2 acres rest on the footprint of Queen Lili‘uokalani’s summer palace, across from famous surf-break Queens beach.We were quick to learn that the Hawaiians are extremely proud and fond of their royal family heritage, particularly the grace and charm of Queen Lili‘uokalani, who was the last of the revered Hawaiian royal family to govern before the monarchy was overthrown and the US stepped in, back in 1898. As part of the $80 million renovation completed last year, her fascinating history and that of the islands is reflected with displays of artefacts and photos in the lobby, as well as a tangibly genuine, welcoming hospitality from the staff. A central part of the renovation is the new Queensbreak pool and deck, with cabanas and giant hot tub overlooking the beach. This is where you’ll find the lively yet laid back Queensbreak open air restaurant, complete with stage for live music, creating the perfect spot for private affairs and weddings. For a smaller entourage, stage a stunning ceremony in the Paoakalani Tower Queens penthouse, which has sweeping views of the beach on one side and the skyline on the other, all of which you can take in from the huge wraparound balcony.  As a bonus, this luxurious apartment can double as your honeymoon suite.Queensbreak’s cuisine, expertly curated by chef Nuno, is deliciously crafted from fresh local seafood and produce — don’t miss the poke, with line caught ahi, kukui nut (from Hawaii’s official state tree), ogo seaweed, Maui onion, shoyu vinaigrette and taro chips.

darts career, Phil Taylor established himself as one of the greatest to ever play the sport, winning a remarkable 16 world championships.Taylor eventually retired from the professional oche in 2018, and after this decided to try his hand on the pool table.As a result ‘The Power’ entered the 2021 Ultimate Pool Masters alongside 64 of the world’s best, and was dealt a tough test as he took on European champion Rob Chilton in his opening match.And it is fair to say his first taste of professional pool did not go to plan, especially when the darts legend was left red faced following a total miscue from one of his break shots.During the televised match, Taylor was being humiliated 7-0 to Chilton, however things were soon to get even worse.As the 61-year-old attempted to break in the eighth frame, he completely missed every ball on the table, as he miss-cued his shot no more than a couple of inches off the starting line.A sheepish Taylor then quickly clawed the ball back towards the top cushion, before embarrassingly returning to his chair in the corner of the arena.Following the remarkable miscue, the TV commentator could be heard saying: “Oh no, oh no!” as Taylor stared at the table in disbelief.What did you make of Taylor's pool skills? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section.It seemed his opponent Chilton clearly saw the funny side of his rival's misfortune, with the TV cameras capturing the European champion giggling in the back shot of Taylor’s miss hit.Chilton then took advantage, as he went on to win the eighth and final frame to cap off an 8-0 whitewash win.Despite the heavy defeat and the red-faced moment, Taylor revealed afterwards that he ‘loved’ taking part in the eight-ball event, but was extremely

Chinese streaming services have been slammed for censoring old episodes of hit television show Friends because of LGBTQ storyline content.Having faced ridicule for changing – and then changing back – the ending to Fight Club last week, a whole host of streaming services in the country are now facing pressure to return newly-streamed episodes of the sitcom to their original glory.According to local reports, the censoring begins from the very first episode when dialogue featuring Ross discussing ex-wife Carol Willick, who left him for a woman, was changed from “women can have multiple orgasms” to say that “women have endless gossips”.It was first broadcast uncensored by streaming services Sohu and iQiyi in 2012, but has now returned to many different services with the new script.The services featuring the show are Bilibili, Tencent, Youku, Sohu and iQiyi.It comes off the back of several changes to the Friends: Reunion episode late last year, which saw surprise guest appearance from Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga and BTS all dropped from the Chinese version, while talk of LGBTQ topics were also edited out.But Chinese viewers took to local social media network Weibo to vent their anger over the change. One user wrote: “Not only does it ignore women’s sexual desire and enjoyment, but also reinforces the gender stereotype of women.” And many users like a post calling it an “insult to our English language ability”.
