Bumble’s 2024 Dating Trends

YourUpdateTV

Bumble, the women-first dating and social networking app, recently released its annual dating trends for 2024. The popular dating app garnered insights from more than 25,000 singles on Bumble around the world to identify trends that will define dating and relationships in the year to come. Recently, Bumble’s Sex and Relationships Expert, Shan Boodram, participated in a nationwide satellite media tour to discuss the trends and share tips on dating in 2024. A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/tA1Q2D6PV6A Heading into 2024, there is an air of optimism and clarity for the ‘year of self’ as Bumble’s research shows that more than half (57%) of women surveyed are going into the new year with a clear view of what they want from their romantic lives. According to Bumble, this year will bring about: 1. Betterment Burnout: In recent years, we’ve seen a rise in ‘self-optimization’ which has led the majority of singles (55%) to feel pressure to constantly look for ways to better themselves, leaving 1 in 4 (24%) feeling unworthy of a partner. Looking ahead to 2024, singles are rebelling against the constant self-improvement with more than 2 in 3 women surveyed (68%) taking active steps to be happier with who they are here and now. 2. Timeline Decline: People, especially women, continue to feel a constant pressure to follow traditional relationship timelines. But in 2024, women are choosing to actively build their own path, with 1 in 3 (31%) women saying they are no longer focused on adhering to traditional timelines and milestones such as dating>marriage>kids. 3. Gen(erational)-Blend Romance: This year, people are doubling down on casting a wider net, age included. For 2 in 3 (63%) people, age is not a defining factor when dating with more than half (59%) of women saying they are now more open to dating someone younger than them. Below are some tips for those looking to kickstart their dating journey in 2024: ● Create a “to feel” list rather than a “to be/to have” list. Focusing on things you want a partner “to be” or “to have” like a specific height or a specific career can lead to a match that isn’t necessarily the kind, lasting connection you’re looking for. Instead, think about what you would put on your “To feel” list: ‘I want to feel safe, I want to feel respected, I want to feel protected.’ Creating this list can help you find and understand what is most important to you beyond physical attributes. ● Date smarter, not harder. In a recent Bumble survey, 1 in 4 U.S. daters shared that they feel short on time and want to make dating as efficient as possible. If you’re finding it hard to prioritize dating with your busy schedule - you’re not alone! Bumble’s data also shows that Monday between 7:00-8:00 pm is the most popular day and time on Bumble in the US. Capitalize on Bumble’s peak Monday time by using features that help you find more relevant potential partners, faster, like Bumble’s Advanced Filters feature, which allows you to filter for various values and lifestyle choices. ● Choose quality over quantity. Dating doesn’t have to be a numbers game. In fact, more than half (52%) of women recently surveyed about dating in 2024 said they are focusing on quality of dates over quantity. For more information, download the Bumble app via the App Store or Google Play. About Shan Boodram Shan Boodram is a certified sex educator, dating coach and intimacy expert. Boodram is host of the top podcast, "Lovers and Friends," the best-selling author of “The Game of Desire,” resident expert on Netflix's “Too Hot to Handle,” and host of The Marriage Pact on the Roku Channel. She is an ambassador for AIDS Healthcare Foundation and WomensHealth.gov, and a member of the American Sexual Health Association. She holds a Master’s degree in Psychology from Arizona State University, and currently resides in Los Angeles, California.

STORM Partners

Geneva, Switzerland, February 9, 2024 – SingularityNET (SNET), a global innovator within the decentralized artificial intelligence (AI) space, has established its Foundation in Switzerland through Geneva to the Crypto Valley in Zug.

SingularityNET works with partners like Cisco, Cardano, and Hanson Robotics, famous for the human Sophia the Robot.

California Couple Loses Home Due to Blatant Bookkeeping Error by Specialized Loan Servicing, LLC

Law Office of Lorden and Reed

In a distressing incident highlighting the critical impact of administrative errors in mortgage servicing, a now-separated couple from Palmdale, California, has filed a multi-count lawsuit against Specialized Loan Servicing, LLC (SLS). The lawsuit, filed in California State Court, alleges breach of contract, theft, and several other counts, accusing SLS of negligence as the mortgage servicer added a quarter of a million dollars to the couple’s mortgage – leading to their financial and personal ruin. The couple is represented by the Law Office of Lorden and Reed. Michael L. Russell and Renita Y. Russell, the plaintiffs in this case, claim that SLS's incompetence and negligent bookkeeping forced them into bankruptcy and later to a short sale of their home. This resulted in a significant loss of equity, estimated to be in the hundreds of thousands of dollars, and severe emotional distress, which contributed to the dissolution of their over 20-year marriage. The Russells' story began in 2004 when they purchased a four-bedroom home in Palmdale. SLS took over the servicing of their loan in 2014. Following a loan modification in 2015, SLS erroneously added over a quarter of a million dollars to the loan balance. By 2018, SLS claimed the Russells were in default by $69,332, and by early 2019, the indebtedness purportedly reached a staggering $946,239. Despite their efforts, including filing for Chapter 13 bankruptcy and making consistent payments towards their mortgage, the couple's attempts to resolve the issue through legal counsel and requests for an accurate accounting from SLS were fruitless. The inflated loan balance led to a forced short sale in April 2022 to avoid foreclosure. A year later, SLS admitted they were wrong but refused to accept responsibility for their egregious actions. The consequences of SLS's actions have been devastating for the Russells. They lost approximately $300,000 in home equity and faced excessive housing costs, moving and storage expenses, attorney fees, and litigation costs. Moreover, they have endured severe mental and emotional distress, resulting in the breakdown of their marriage, significant damage to their credit, and the loss of their home. SLS, in their capacity as the mortgage servicer, was acting on behalf of Deutsche Bank National Trust Company. Last year, Rithm Capital Corp. announced it would acquire Computershare Mortgage Services Inc. and certain affiliated companies including Specialized Loan Servicing LLC. The lawsuit includes counts of breach of contract, negligence, negligent misrepresentation, intentional misrepresentation, unfair business practices, unfair debt collection, theft, and other counts. The Russells seeks restitution of all monies paid to SLS in excess of the actual amount owed, compensatory damages, and punitive damages. The Russells wish to hold SLS accountable for the irreparable harm caused by their alleged negligence and to warn others of the potential risks involved in mortgage servicing errors.

West Red Lake Gold (WRLG.V) Focused on Further Definition of Near-Term Mining Inventory

West Red Lake Gold Mines Ltd.

February 9, 2024 – TheNewswire – Global Stocks News – In a press release dated February 7, 2024, West Red Lake Gold Mines (TSXV:WRLG) (OTC:WRLGF) reported drill results from the North Austin Zone, which represents a new area of high-grade mineralization extending the current Madsen resource to the northeast. The company’s flagship asset - The Madsen Gold Mine – is debt free, fully permitted, with a brand-new 800+ tonne per day mill, a tailings and water treatment facility. [ 1 ] The Madsen Mine deposit presently hosts an NI 43-101 Indicated resource of 1.65 million ounces of gold grading 7.4 g/t Au and an Inferred resource of 0.37 Moz of gold grading 6.3 g/t Au. [2.] [3.] The current underground drilling program at the Madsen Mine is focused on definition of near-term mining inventory, as well as growth of the current mineral resource. Hole MM24X-03-5195-006 intercepted 8.12 g/t Au over 2 meters, suggesting vertical continuity of almost two full mine levels, or approximately 50 meters, below any workings at the East Portal. Additionally, holes MM24X-03-5195-001, -003 and -004 all intercepted high-grade mineralization beneath current workings effectively extending a known ore shoot approximately 25 meters down plunge.

[1] *Geologic domains and 2021 block model have not yet been updated to incorporate drill results in this press release. Plan section view is cut on a 60m-thick slice which may distort apparent thickness of the mineralized domains – refer to cross-section figures for more accurate representation of thickness. The WRLG team believes these intercepts are indicative of the resource growth potential that still exists at the Madsen Mine asset. The North Austin Zone sits adjacent to existing underground development marking it as a high caliber target that could potentially be developed early during future mine restart and production. The North Austin Zone remains open down-dip and along strike to the northeast and will continue to be a priority expansion target as underground drilling continues. HIGHLIGHTS: Hole MM24X-03-5195-003 Intersected 3.3m @ 9.15 g/t Au, from 148.7m to 152m, Including 1m @ 15.91 g/t Au, from 148.7m to 149.7m, also Including 0.7m @ 18.62 g/t Au, from 150.7m to 151.4m.   Hole MM24X-03-5195-001 Intersected 2.6m @ 10.66 g/t Au, from 154.4m to 157m, Including 0.9m @ 18.35 g/t Au, from 155.4m to 156.3m.   Hole MM24X-03-5195-006 Intersected 2.4m @ 8.12 g/t Au, from 85.3m to 87.7m.   Hole MM24X-03-5195-004 Intersected 1.4m @ 10.55 g/t Au, from 141m to 142.4m.   “This latest round of North Austin results are very encouraging and demonstrate the untapped growth potential that still exists in this part of the Madsen deposit,” stated Shane Williams, President & CEO of WRLG. Click Image To View Full Size   “There are two types of drilling we are currently doing underground at Madsen,” VP of Exploration Will Robinson confirmed to Guy Bennett, CEO of Global Stocks News. “We have expansion drilling - which is what we just completed at North Austin. It’s growth oriented, drilled at a wider spacing, to define a larger area. We process that data, get the assays back. If the results are favorable, we then follow-up with definition drilling, using tighter spacing, to bring that gold into the mineable inventory category.” “That's the plan at North Austin,” Robinson continued. “Go back in and drill with tighter spacing to increase confidence in this area.” Click Image To View Full Size   North Austin cross-section showing assay highlights for Hole MM24X-03-5195-006. [1] *Geologic domains and 2021 block model have not yet been updated to incorporate drill results in this press release. “The original geologic model that was used for mining by the previous operator did not capture the complexity of the Madsen deposit,” stated Robinson. “This resulted in excessive dilution during mining. The West Red Lake team now has a much more realistic geologic model and a proven workflow for accurately defining additional ounces.  The current Madsen drill program, including the February 7, 2024 North Austin drill results, is feeding into that model and workflow.” “We are now approaching Madsen as an advanced stage exploration project with near term development potential,” Robinson continued. “Our objective for the 2024 drill program at Madsen is to build a +1 year runway of high confidence ounces for the mill restart, while also taking full advantage of near-mine, high-grade resource expansion opportunities.” “As we continue to advance the East Portal decline, we will be establishing additional drilling platforms to continue extending this zone at depth,” added WRLG CEO Shane Williams.
