Leader of ‘Orgasmic Meditation’ Wellness Company Sentenced The founder has retained a prison Instagram account. The head of a women’s wellness company known for promoting “orgasmic meditation” has been sentenced to nine years in prison. Nicole Daedone, the founder and former CEO of OneTaste,for her role in a forced labor conspiracy, where students and practitioners worked without pay. Rachel Cherwitz, the company’s former head of sales, was also sentenced to 78 months behind bars. They were accused of conspiring to coerce staff members to conduct tasks ranging from menial labor to sexual services for little to no pay. The two women were convicted by a federal jury in June last year. In Monday’s findings, the court also imposed a $12 million forfeiture money judgment against Daedone, and awarded more than $887,000 in restitution to seven victims of both women. Daedone, who sold her stake in OneTaste in 2017 for $12 million, and Cherwitz have been in a Brooklyn jail since their conviction last year. The women have been legally backed by MAGA figures including former Republican Matt Gaetz, who said last week “nobody was forced or restrained or otherwise threatened to continue participating.” Alan Dershowitz, who has been working as a consultant to Daedone’s legal team, claimed that similar charges could be made against religious organisations who made members work unpaid, then claim they were enslaved after quitting. Daedone’sremains active while she is in jail, run by her team. Her Instagram bio currently reads “Storyteller. Erotic Artist. Lover. Sicilian. Presently Incarcerated.” Her account includes videos on prison meditation, recipes including prison sushi and an AI version of Nicole that claims to be the first artificial intelligence trained in full depth orgasmic meditation.Lola Young arrives at the Vanity Fair Oscars party after the 98th Academy Awards, in Beverly Hills, California, U.S., March 15, 2026. REUTERS/Danny MoloshokGrammy-winning singer Lola Young confirmed she was in drug recovery after she fainted onstage during a performance in September. “I think I would rather, for the sake of my privacy, not say too much,” the “Messy” singer, 25, toldin an interview. “But what I would say is that recovery is an ongoing process. I’m not the finished article, but I’m doing a hell of a lot better.” Young clarified that she indeed meant recovery from drugs, adding, “When you’re in recovery, that doesn’t necessarily need to mean drugs—but me specifically, yes.” Young, who has previously been open about her cocaine addiction and attended rehab twice, collapsed on stage during a performance of “Conceited” at the All Things Good music festival in New York City in September. She was carried off stage by medical staff, and canceled her future tour dates and appearances three days later. The British singer, who won Best Pop Solo Performance at this year’s Grammy awards for “Messy,” added that she now frequently attends Alcoholics Anonymous meetings. She addressed others also in recovery, saying, “This is an ongoing journey. You have to be kind to yourself. You have to always remember that you are not alone. You are not ever, ever alone.”for myself, I was pretty skeptical about its merits—some beauty editors have claimed that the tools give them an instant facelift-like effect in just five minutes.

Amazon MGM Studios told People that Turner suffered a “minor injury” and “as a precaution, production has briefly paused to allow her time to recover.” Filming is reportedly set to resume in two weeks, with the studio hoping to be back on schedule “as soon as possible.” Crew will be paid during the break. The studio did not specify the type of injury or how Turner was injured. The 30-year-old has been public about the intense physicality required in her role,earlier this year that she had been training “eight hours a day, five days a week” since February 2025. The video game adaptation is set to be released by Amazon MGM in 2027, and will feature Turner as the fictional archaeologist Lara Croft alongside Sigourney Weaver, Jason Isaacs, and Celia Imrie. “I’ve been a long-time fan of Tomb Raider and the character of Lara.

The project from Sony Pictures Television will feature famed actress Laura Dern as the dogged Miami Herald reporter Julie K. Brown, whose work helped bring Epstein and his accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell to justice. The limited series will be based on Brown’s book,. Dern will also be an executive producer, along with Brown and Adam McKay. Though there have been multiple documentaries on Jeffrey Epstein, this would be the first scripted TV show focused on the topic. An official description of the show calls it “an explosive account of an investigative reporter exposing the secret plea deal between Epstein and federal prosecutors. Drawing from Brown’s experience as a groundbreaking reporter for the Miami Herald, the book and the limited series follow her relentless years-long investigation that identified 80 victims, persuaded key survivors to go on the record, and led to Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell’s arrests.” Dern comes to the role as already one of the most well-respected actresses of her generation, known for her work in hits likeselects products independently.

An estimated 30.5 percent of car buyers who trade in a vehicle owe more on it than it is worth, according to J.D. Power’s automotive forecast for March—up 4.2 percentage points from a year ago. The average amount owed on those underwater trade-ins hit $7,214 in the fourth quarter of 2025, an all-time high, according to Edmunds. More alarming still, 27 percent of those trade-ins carried $10,000 or more in negative equity, also a record. “It’s the amount underwater that is the real, and troubling, story,” said Joseph Yoon, a consumer insights analyst at Edmunds. When that debt is rolled into a new loan, the average monthly payment rockets to $916—$144 more than the average new-car buyer pays. New cars aren’t getting cheaper, either. The average price hit $49,353 in February, up 30 percent since 2020.A Delta Air Lines jet’s left engine caught fire during takeoff, leaving passengers screaming, before the pilots managed to quickly return to the airport for an emergency landing 10 minutes later. Flight 104 took off from Sao Paulo bound for Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport on Sunday night, but seconds after wheels up suffered engine trouble, according to USA Today. The 19-year-old Airbus A330-300 landed safely, carrying 272 passengers, who were then shuttled back to the terminal by bus. “Delta teams are working to reaccommodate customers to get them safely to their destination,” Delta said in a statement. “The safety of our customers and crew is our highest priority. We apologize to our customers for this delay in their travels.” Footage posted online by the air travel news site Air Live shows a recording from the left-hand side of the plane as it took off. Bright orange flashes can be seen coming from the engine just off-screen seconds later, as passengers cry out.

Five retailers, wholesalers, and restaurateurs toldthat they have been ditching go-to menu options because importing them from Europe is no longer financially viable. The continent has historically been a close ally of the U.S., but that didn’t stop Trump from imposing a 15 percent tariff on many of its goods last year, which was later reduced to 10 percent after the Supreme Court got involved. Kristen Goceljak, wine director of the New York-based Kent Hospitality Group, said that prices of champagne and crémant—sparkling wines which can only ever be made in France—had risen enough to make them unattractive import options because “It’s just too expensive.” It’s bad news for wine drinkers, because “The pressure to pass through costs is mounting,” said Republic National Distributing Company SVP Lance Emerson. He said the hike is likely to be felt more in wine than in spirits, noting that retailers were trimming their product offerings, while restaurants were swapping out old favorites for lower-cost options.A long-unsolved disappearance has been quietly cracked decades later after a banker’s leg washed up on a beach. Partial human remains discovered on a Northern California beach have now been identified as a banker who vanished in 1999, according to authorities and forensic researchers. The case began when a family searching for seashells on Salmon Creek Beach in Sonoma County in June 2022 came across a long bone containing surgical hardware, the DNA Doe Project said. Investigators later determined the remains belonged to Walter Karl Kinney, 59, a former banker from nearby Santa Rosa. “Thank you to the DNA Doe Project for helping us put a name to the human remains found at Salmon Creek Beach,” the Sonoma County Sheriff’s Office said. “We value this partnership as we continue working together to identify remains found in Sonoma County.” Researchers developed a DNA profile and uploaded it to the GEDmatch database in January, leading to a breakthrough linking Kinney to remains previously recovered in 1999. Kinney’s daughter remembered him as “smart, sensitive, almost to a fault,” adding that “this world was just too harsh a place for him,” the DNA Doe Project said.selects products independently.

If you rely on coffee for its focus-boosting powers but could do without the jitters, stomach flips, and inevitable mid-afternoon crash, it might be time to rethink what’s actually in your cup. Enter the new wave of functional blends that promise steady energy without the rollercoaster. My go-to functional coffee?If you’ve tried early iterations, you know the flavor could skew aggressively earthy—more forest floor than flat white. The category has evolved, andis part of a newer class of brands prioritizing taste as much as function. The result is a brew that’s creamy, smooth, and convincingly coffee-forward, not overtly fungal.pairs real coffee with nootropic and adaptogenic mushrooms traditionally associated with cognitive support and stress modulation, plus grass-fed collagen for added protein and skin-supporting benefits. Instead of triggering your nervous system,leans into the ritual aspect. It dissolves easily, has a naturally mellow finish, and doesn’t require masking with syrups or heavy cream to make it palatable. Plus, for those with sensitive stomachs, many people find mushroom-forward blends easier on digestion than high-acid traditional brews., but the added functional ingredients appear to soften the sharper edges of the experience.

The AA narrow body airplane has the registration tail number N321TG and is powered by 2x CFMI LEAP 1B jet engines. American Airlines AAL is a major airline in the United States with headquarters and main hub in Fort Worth, Texas, USA.

Crystal City, Virginia, United States on November 8, 2024 An American Airlines flight was forced to make an emergency landing after a crazed passenger threatened to blow up the plane. The flight from New York was an hour away from its destination in Chicago when travelers Sunday heard screaming coming from the back of the plane. A man was “yelling, ‘No, no, no,’ and he can’t get off the plane, and he didn’t take his meds,” passenger Gerry Sutofsky told. Margaret Weinstock said she heard the “aggressive” passenger threaten to blow up the plane and “kill you all,” adding that it seemed like “he was ready to attack the flight attendants.” The plane’s pilots diverted the flight due to the increasingly dangerous situation and made an emergency landing at 11:08 a.m. at the Detroit Metro Airport. The passenger was removed from the flight, after which authorities conducted a search for potential explosives “out of an abundance of caution.” “There was a guy who came on the plane with a machine gun, and we’re being told, ‘Put your head down and hands up,’” Esther Sutofsky told CBS about the traumatizing experience. The passengers made it to Chicago eight hours after their original arrival time. “American Airlines flight 2819 diverted to Detroit due to a disruptive customer. The aircraft landed safely at DTW where law enforcement and medical personnel met the flight and the customer deplaned. We appreciate our customers for their patience and thank our crew for their professionalism,” the airline told The Daily Beast.. “It feels like an extraordinary gift to make my Broadway debut, the fulfillment of a lifelong dream, with a play that affirms life so emphatically,” the 62-year-old actress said. The 85-minute production follows a character compiling a list of reasons to stay alive, originally written for their mother after a suicide attempt. Written by Duncan Macmillan and Jonny Donahoe, the play also involves audience participation, with attendees sometimes asked to take on roles. “I read Every Brilliant Thing and cried, rejoiced, laughed, cried some more, and loved it so much. I’m always drawn to themes of healing and renewal, especially when the journey is rendered in all its complexity,” Hargitay said. Thestar is set to take on the role once Daniel Radcliffe’s run ends on May 24. She will stay on until the end of the play’s run at the Hudson Theater on June 28.
