What indie beauty brand do Sharon Stone, Katie Couric, Naomi Watts and Gwyneth Paltrow all love?

Biography

Sharon Stone says it’s like “caviar for the skin.” Naomi Watts posted an Instagram “shelfie” featuring her favorite, Gwyneth Paltrow chose it for her Goop gift guide and Katie Couric continues to rave about it on her social media. So, what’s the buzz all about? Linda Thompson founded her beauty brand, Biography in 2020. The line is made up of high-quality, carefully blended “active” oils for face; and now NEW oil-infused formulas for the body, all designed to protect the skin and leave it clarified, rejuvenated, hydrated and renewed. Thanks to celebrity makeup artists who constantly request Biography for their clients, in just two short years, the brand has developed a cult-like following, and has been picked up by top retailers including Bergdorf Goodman and Neiman Marcus. Here’s why. Actives are ingredients that actively work toward an intended purpose or specific skincare concern. These ingredients have been proven scientifically to change the structure of the skin at a cellular level. They work to repair, rejuvenate, hydrate, protect and nourish cells. Biography uses these potent “active” ingredients at carefully blended concentrations to address specific concerns. “For people with sensitive, oily, or acne-prone skin, we recommend Long June calm face oil. It contains lightweight, soothing chamomile and apricot seed oil, so it absorbs quickly and leaves the skin feeling moisturized and soothed,” explains Thompson. One of the star ingredients in Biography’s Petty Grudges repair blend is rosehip seed oil, vitamin C phenols, and trans-retinoic acid that help repair UV damage, lighten dark spots, and soften fine lines. Biography’s Golden Ray glow face oil contains a few different actives, one of which is French marine algae. “At the concentration in Golden Ray, that algae is clinically proven to stimulate collagen production, which improves elasticity and softens wrinkles,” Thompson says. “Carrot seed oil — another active that’s packed with vitamins A, C, and E — works in tandem to help repair sun damage and scars, boost collagen, and moisturize your skin. It’s a really powerful, but gentle, product great for people with aging or damaged skin,” Thompson says. Thompson recommends applying face oil on damp skin so it locks in hydration for a longer-lasting, dewy look. Regardless of post-cleansing products, face oils should be the final step in a skincare routine. This is because oils create an occlusive layer on the skin, which not only seals in moisture but creates a smooth canvas under sunscreen and makeup. In addition to the newness of the mini size oils, created due to popular demand, the brand has just launched an oil-infused Hand and Body Wash and a Hand and Body Cream. The wash is a gel-like cleanser that gently purifies skin, while finely-ground Quartz and Pumice work to exfoliate leaving skin softened and buffed. Other actives include Butterfly Bush and White Peony. The Hand and Body Cream is instantly absorbed and offers up to 12 hours of hydration with skin-softening effects thanks to ingredients like Babassu seed oil, Butterfly Bush, Camellia seed oil, and a Watermelon/Quinoa blend. Both the Wash and Cream are available in two unique scents. First Edition is reminiscent of a private library in an old-world cathedral, with scents of leather-bound folios, pencil shavings, musty floorboards with a whiff of freshly picked early blooms. O pen Garden suggests a bursting, humid greenhouse with fresh, yet tender blossoms. Think if Monet’s ‘Water Lilies’ were a clean fragrance.

Columbus, Ohio-area School Wins Grand Prize in National Creativity Competition presented by Jersey Mike’s Subs – Earns Visit from the Harlem Globetrotters on Tuesday, May 23

Campus Multimedia

Glacier Ridge Elementary School in Dublin, OH, has been named the national grand prize winner of the Court of Creativity contest presented by Jersey Mike’s Subs. As the grand prize winner, the school will receive a visit from the world-famous Harlem Globetrotters on Tuesday, May 23, plus a $1,000 prize that was awarded when they became a finalist. Judges from the Harlem Globetrotters and Jersey Mike’s Subs were impressed by the students’ ability to blend science, music, and basketball in a creative and original way. The school’s participation included multiple grade levels as their 5th graders performed and analyzed 10 different science experiments, and 3rd graders created a basketball movement music routine. "Congratulations to Glacier Ridge Elementary for winning the Court of Creativity challenge," said Rich Hope, Chief Marketing Officer of Jersey Mike’s Franchise Systems, Inc. "We were impressed by the creativity and energy from all the submissions we received, and we're thrilled to name Glacier Ridge Elementary as the grand prize winner." Known as the “Court of Creativity presented by Jersey Mike’s Subs,” the six-week contest was open to public, private, and vocational schools with grades Kindergarten through 5th across the United States. It was part of Jersey Mike’s and the Harlem Globetrotters’ ongoing efforts to promote healthy lifestyles, teamwork, and creativity among young people. The contest encouraged students to showcase their creativity related to the Harlem Globetrotters or the sport of basketball. “On behalf of the staff and students of Glacier Ridge Elementary School, we are extremely honored and grateful to be the recipient of the Court of Creativity contest sponsored by Jersey Mike’s and the Harlem Globetrotters,” said Pete Kurty, Principal at Glacier Ridge Elementary School. “We are excited to celebrate as a whole school as the Globetrotters perform and then we are treated to a delicious Jersey Mike’s lunch. We would be remiss if we didn’t also celebrate the creativity of the teachers of the winning lesson submissions. Incorporating creativity into instruction is what great educators do every day. However, without the creativity, innovation, and collaboration of the 5th-grade teaching team and the music and physical education teacher, this experience would not be possible. Thank you to Jersey Mike’s and the Harlem Globetrotters for encouraging and promoting creativity and quality instruction in order to provide an amazing educational experience for students.” ABOUT JERSEY MIKE’S SUBS Jersey Mike’s Subs, with more than 2,500 locations nationwide, serves authentic fresh sliced/fresh grilled subs on in-store freshly baked bread — the same recipe it started with in 1956.

Comcast New Mexico

Comcast announced today internet speeds up to 1.2 Gbps (1,200 Mbps) are now available via the Xfinity 10G Network to nearly 20,000 homes and businesses in Deming, Portales, and Taos, New Mexico. These new speeds are available to new and existing customers. With the launch of new, faster speeds, Comcast, the nation’s largest provider of Gigabit internet, will provide internet options ranging from 50 Mbps to 1.2 Gbps, together with video, mobile, voice, home security and management products, and other products and services geared to local businesses. In addition, Xfinity Internet customers who lease a gateway will have access to Comcast’s next-generation cyber protection, xFi Advanced Security, that automatically detects and blocks of cyber threats like malware, providing peace of mind to consumers and businesses. “Comcast is committed to connecting more people to what matters most to them,” said Chris Dunkeson, Area Vice President, Comcast. “We’re excited to bring additional internet options to consumers and businesses on our fast, reliable, secure network. Whether it’s for work, school, or entertainment, our fiber-rich, gigabit network is built to meet the needs of tomorrow - today.” Comcast also is addressing digital equity in the communities we serve through Project UP, the company’s $1 billion dollar commitment to help tens of millions of people connect to the internet and build futures of unlimited possibilities. In the last three years, Comcast has invested more than $13.5 million in more than 75 nonprofit and community organizations across New Mexico. Additionally, Comcast will continue to bring affordable, high-speed internet to low-income households through Internet Essentials. In over 10 years, the program has connected more than 10 million Americans, including 412,000 New Mexicans. Comcast also proudly participates in the federal Affordable Connectivity Program, which provides a subsidy of up to $30 per month –up to $75 per month in tribal areas—to pay for Internet service, covering the full cost of both Internet Essentials (50/10 Mbps) and Internet Essentials Plus (100/20 Mbps) for eligible households. Interested customers can visit Xfinity.com/ACP or call 1-800-Xfinity to learn more about this program and find out if they qualify. -More- Powered by the Xfinity 10G Network Comcast’s network and Internet experience are powering homes today and into the future: Ultimate Capacity: Xfinity customers connect nearly 1 billion devices across the company’s network annually.

Fastest Internet: Comcast is the largest provider of Gigabit internet and about one third of Xfinity Internet customers subscribe to gigabit speed products. Unprecedented Coverage: The latest Xfinity Gateway provides a more reliable connection throughout the home. Customers can get wall-to-wall WiFi coverage with a powerful Xfinity WiFi Boost Pod that extends coverage to hard-to-reach areas, with plans for an offering of increased support for in-home WiFi through a “boost guarantee” later this year. Most Reliable Connection: Comcast is scaling the nation’s largest and most reliable network – the Xfinity 10G Network – that passes 60 million homes and business and counting. The company plans to launch a new device that is “storm-ready” with cellular and battery backup to help keep customers connected even when the power goes out. Ultra-Low Latency: The Xfinity 10G Network and the latest Xfinity Gateway are a powerful combination that deliver ultra-low latency for those moments when response times matter most like video games, a fast-growing category with Xfinity households averaging more than one gaming console per home. For local businesses, Comcast Business offers a suite of connectivity, communications, networking, cybersecurity, wireless, and managed solutions to help organizations of different sizes prepare for what’s next.

BettingLadies.com

BettingLadies.com, the first sports betting affiliate and content site for all sports written by women, for women, today announced it has officially launched its public-facing site. All content on the site is written, created and produced by women content creators to explicitly provide sports betting news, information, odds and statistics for women bettors of all skill levels. While most sites which target the women-bettor demographic segment their offering by exclusively discussing women’s sports, BettingLadies.com differentiates itself through the discussion of both women’s and men’s sports. This mixed approach to female-targeted content enables bettors to participate in and enjoy wagering opportunities around dominant leagues such as the NBA, NHL and MLB, while also embracing the emerging market of women’s sports betting. “The genesis of BettingLadies.com is about making sports betting more accessible for women. I looked for content to help educate myself as a bettor, but found the majority of resources were clearly created to be consumed by a male audience,” said Val C. Martinez, CEO and founder of BettingLadies.com. “Multiple studies have found that nearly a third of the betting market is women, however the opportunities for female-centric content have been limited. While there are women content creators in the market, I strategically saw whitespace and wanted to create a new space where bettors could consume content from like-minded female sports fans, as well as build a platform where female creators can find a voice in the emerging sports betting market.” Martinez brings more than 20-years experience as a banker and financial executive, leading large business groups in major financial institutions, to her role as founder of BettingLandies.com. In addition to daily news from the sports world and daily betting lines, BettingLadies.com currently hosts the following signature elements: BettingLadies.com Community - Sign up and meet, interact and discuss betting with like-minded women. Lady Locks - Daily videos provide insights and betting information on the day’s biggest sporting events. Betting Guides - Educational videos, tutorials and how-to’s for all betting skills from beginners to the advanced. Tarot Reading - A fun free-to-play game for users to get their fortune on different sports betting experiences. The site’s most noted content creator is a professional wrestler and sports broadcast talent Danielle Kamela. In addition to writing for BettingLadies.com, Kamela creates the site’s signature digital asset, the daily “Lady Locks” series, which posts to Instagram, Facebook and Twitter. “What drew me to working with BettingLadies.com was Val’s vision to create an approachable, judgement free and inclusive community, built on educating and supporting the growth of women bettors across the country,” Kamela said. “As a fan and bettor of all sports, Lady Locks provides me the opportunity to be flexible in the content I create, moving seamlessly from NBA to MLB games and NFL games in the fall. I’m excited about the future of this site and giving a voice to women bettors.” In addition to Kamela, BettingLadies.com has plans to expand to more than a dozen featured personalities in the coming months. “Beyond the launch, our goal is to evolve BettingLadies.com to be synonymous with the betting experience for women. We’ll soon begin creating in-person regional betting events based on the growth of our community,” said Martinez. “We’re continually looking for new affiliate partners, as well as voices and creators, to scale and expand our content to new mediums, social platforms and sports. As a true first mover in this category, we see nothing but potential for the future of women sports bettors.” To learn more about the site and to sign up for the BettingLadies.com betting community, please visit BettingLadies.com.

Ripken Baseball

Ripken Baseball®, the leader in youth sports events and facilities, has acquired Sports Force Parks at Cedar Point Sports Center in Sandusky, Ohio, located between Cleveland and Toledo.

The acquisition raises Ripken Baseball’s total number of youth sports complexes to six nationwide. The announcement confirms Ripken Baseball has expanded into sports beyond baseball and softball for the first time. Sports Force Parks at Cedar Point Sports Center includes multi-purpose fields with the capacity of 11 baseball/softball synthetic turf diamonds or eight full-size soccer fields that are convertible to create up to 21 youth soccer fields, in addition to one ADA-accessible field for adaptive sports.

Named after the size of home plate, 17 Tournaments brings youth baseball tournaments to Georgia, Mississippi, Tennessee, Alabama, and Ohio. Oakwood Lodging Group creates a seamless experience for youth teams traveling outside their home market to book hotels, flights, and other travel needs efficiently. “When my late friend, co-founder, and the vision behind Sports Force Parks, Brian Storm, first dreamed of entering the youth sports business, he endeavored to build parks where sports, family, and fun could bring people together,” said Mark Stalnaker, President of Sports Fields, Inc. “The model was built on the strong foundation that Ripken had already established for baseball but also added a variety of other sports such as soccer, softball, and lacrosse. Brian would be thrilled to see the growth opportunities that the industry leader Ripken Baseball can offer to Sports Force Parks employees as they are the backbone of the brand and have made the companies so successful.” Sports Fields, Inc. designed, built, and managed Sports Force Parks at Cedar Point Sports Center, and also created Oakwood Lodging, and 17 Tournaments.

In January 2023, Ripken Baseball announced Josh Harris and David Blitzer, via their respective family offices, completed a strategic investment in Ripken Baseball and Cooperstown All Star Village. Blitzer is a part-owner of the Cleveland Guardians, who are committed to supporting community initiatives with Ripken Baseball and Cooperstown All Star Village. “We welcome Ripken Baseball to the Northeast Ohio region,” said Cleveland Guardians VP of Communications and Community Impact Curtis Danburg. “We look forward to partnering with the Ripken Baseball family to create unique Major League level experiences for their athletes visiting their complex in Sandusky and Progressive Field.” About Ripken Baseball Ripken Baseball brings teammates, coaches, and families together through its Big League Experiences while teaching children how to play sports the right way – the Ripken Way.
