WILLIAMSON CO. , Tenn. (WSMV) - A Williamson County same-sex couple said a Facebook post helped them find the kind of community they had been searching for in Middle Tennessee. Jason and Greg Warren, educators who run the online teaching platform “The Kindergarten Smorgasbord,” are raising two daughters, 7-year-old Adelynn and 6-month-old Violet. They said they feel welcomed where they live but do not often see other families like theirs nearby. “None of our friends have families like ours. They’re couples, but they don’t have any kids,” Jason Warren said. He said most families in their neighborhood are heterosexual, though the couple said neighbors have been supportive. “There’s not other same-sex families that live near us,” he said. “Our community is 100% all straight families, but they all welcome us here.” Wanting their children to see other families like theirs, Jason Warren posted in a local Facebook group asking people to reach out if they knew of other same-sex families. The response, he said, was unexpectedly positive.  » Read More

NewsLiverpool's Greatest - No.71: Emile Heskey Published 1 day ago By Chris Shaw Years: 2000-2004 Appearances: 223 Goals: 60 Trophies: League Cup (2001, 2003), FA Cup (2001), UEFA Cup (2001), UEFA Super Cup (2001) Emile Heskey was one of the attacking spearheads of a trophy-laden period for Liverpool under Gerard Houllier. Signed from Leicester City at the outset of the new millennium, the England international could be an unplayable presence at his best. Quick, strong, deft in link-up play and a finisher with head or foot, Heskey scored 22 times in 56 appearances during an impressive first full season at Anfield, 2000-01. Predominantly in partnership with Michael Owen up front, but Robbie Fowler too, he helped the Reds achieve a remarkable treble triumph. There was League Cup, FA Cup – in which he scored in four different rounds – and UEFA Cup success that term,  » Read More

Bitcoin drifts lower Tuesday (Getty images) Bitcoin re-takes $62,000 as stocks close off worst levelsThe Nasdaq tumbled more than 3% at one point on Tuesday, helping to drag bitcoin (BTC) nearly all the way back to $60,000.

If you have spent more than five minutes on Facebook recently, you will have been bombarded by whisky cask investment adverts. Whisky beats the banks. Whisky is tax-free. Whisky always goes up in value. These claims are everywhere, and they are, frankly, laughable. The problem is that people believe them and people follow them. So I thought it was time to run through the most common myths these companies peddle and explain why the reality is far less glamorous than the glossy adverts suggest. Let’s start with the “cash loses value” myth. Yes, cash does lose value. My research suggests that cash has lost roughly 19% of its purchasing power since 2022. But here is what these adverts conveniently omit: the average whisky cask investment over that same period has likely lost closer to 30%. And unlike cash sitting on your kitchen counter with zero associated fees, casks come with storage costs, insurance, regauging, sampling, and whatever other charges get tacked on along the way. Cash is also liquid. If you need it,  » Read More
