Brazilian Taste, a Lexington, S.C. establishment, is recalling approximately 4,120 pounds of chicken and beef croquettes due to misbranding and an undeclared allergen, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced today. The product contains sesame, a known allergen, which is not declared on the product label.
During former Vice President Kamala Harris’ 2024 presidential campaign, you chastised “the brothers” for what you perceived as their reluctance to vote for a black female. You said: “We have not yet seen the same kinds of energy and turnout in all corners of our neighborhoods and communities as we saw when I was running. Now, I also want to say that that seems to be more pronounced with the brothers.”
Did you tell “the brothers” who, for the sake of racial solidarity, you tried to shame into voting for Harris that you only believe in left-wing racial solidarity?

Delaware offers many opportunities for overnight stays in the great outdoors — including sleeping under the stars in tents or yurts, traveling with a recreational vehicle, discovering a cozy cabin in the woods or even visiting the beach in the off-season in a cottage or waterfront house.
Camping is available year-round in Delaware State Parks, and fall is a popular time to visit its five campground parks — Cape Henlopen, Delaware Seashore, Killens Pond, Lums Pond and Trap Pond — and the unique and diverse programs, events or activities offered at each site. The parks system also has cottages and houses for rent along the coast for special occasions. All told, the state park system offers more than 900 sites from which to choose.
“Camping in our state parks is a great way to create lasting memories and new traditions,” said Matthew Ritter, Director of DNREC’s Division of Parks and Recreation. “There is something about a campfire that seems to quiet the world around us and allow people to reconnect with each other.”

Get back to the basics with a tent or yurt in the woods or at the beach and immerse yourself in nature. The five campground parks as well as Brandywine Creek, Holts Landing and White Clay Creek State Parks, have areas that can be reserved for groups, including Girl or Boy Scouts or other other organizations.
Campsites are available at many parks for people with mobility challenges, designed with accessible pathways, restrooms and parking, to ensure a comfortable outdoor experience for all.
Recreational Vehicles
Delaware State Parks offers RV camping at five locations, including Killens Pond, Lums Pond, Trap Pond, Cape Henlopen and the Delaware Seashore State Parks. The sites have all the comforts of home in picture-perfect surroundings.
Cabins
Three of the campgrounds feature cabins, including Cape Henlopen, Killens Pond and Trap Pond, and can sleep 4-6 people depending on the location. Lums Pond will add a new 14-cabin complex, with two and three bedrooms, with two cabins expected to open in 2026 and the remaining 12 in 2027, adding even more options for people looking to spend the night in the great outdoors in the First State.
Cottages and Rental Houses
The Delaware parks system also has three waterfront locations for lodging along the coast, including 12 cottages at the Indian River Inlet that sleep six; Assawoman Canal house in Ocean View that sleeps 7 and the Oceanfront House off Coastal Highway at the northern boundary of Delaware Seashore State Park that sleeps six.
Leashed pets are welcome at campgrounds but must be attended at all times, and there are designated cabins and cottages for animals so check reservation details at the time of booking.

A closer look at user-submitted crime data on platforms like Nextdoor shows that this information can often be misleading and should not be trusted to accurately reflect the crime rate in neighborhoods like Westville. Studies have shown that neighborhood social apps tend to boost users’ fears, leading to an exaggerated sense of danger and the belief that crime is more common than it really is. For a better understanding of crime statistics, it is important to consult credible, official sources for accurate data. Such as the chief of police. (Source AI)

Outdoor Delaware is the award-winning online magazine of the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control. Articles and multimedia content are produced by the DNREC Office of Communications.
Since the state began tracking the number of hunting licenses sold in 1972, the total number of hunters in Delaware reached a peak in 1975, at around 30,000. That number began to steadily decline a decade later and has remained static at approximately 20,000 annually for the past two decades before dropping to 15,399 in 2024.
The decline in hunting isn’t unique to Delaware but is part of a national trend that can be attributed to older hunters becoming unable to take part and younger generations being less likely to take up the activity.
Fewer people grow up hunting these days, and absent that formative childhood experience, they’re less likely to hunt as adults. People moving to Delaware from nearby states often come from urban areas and as a result don’t have a background in hunting. That all contributes to fewer people hunting today.
Fifty years ago, roughly 5% of the state’s population hunted, according to license data maintained by the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control. Today, that figure is more like 2%.
But that doesn’t mean hunting’s importance has diminished for those who do take part. Hunting is a major way of connecting with nature, spending time with friends and family and managing wildlife and promoting conservation. Whether you prefer to hunt alone or with others, it represents a chance to immerse yourself in nature and get away from the hustle and bustle of modern life.
For those of us that are practitioners of the art of hunting, there are few things better than being in a deer stand or duck blind, anticipating the opportunity of a deer coming within range or ducks with wings set coming into your decoys.
For many, this is deeply relaxing and represents a chance to function as our ancestors did. Humans have hunted animals for millennia; it’s one of the oldest activities that survives today. Even though much of the technology has changed, many of the same basic principles apply today as they did thousands of years ago.
Hunting gives people the opportunity to appreciate the great taste of wild game and fowl, and many find it extremely rewarding to bring home a deer or other game they have taken themselves. In an age where locally sourced, organic foods are in vogue, is there anything better than the bounty Mother Nature has to offer?
Hunting is a way of testing oneself, improving your own skill through hours of patience and repetition. It also plays a major role in controlling wildlife populations like deer and snow geese in Delaware. Without hunting, these species would adversely impact both farming and our environment.
Hunters pay for the privilege, with Delaware bringing in money from federal excise taxes on guns and ammunition as well as state fees for hunting licenses. That’s millions of dollars that funds research, management and habitat improvements for wildlife management — and not only for game species. Money from hunting fees allows the state to acquire habitat and conduct research on raptors, shorebirds and other species, as well as educate new hunters.
In short, hunting is part of our heritage, and despite declining numbers, it remains an important way of life for many in our state. The emotional connection hunters develop with nature cannot be overstated and is one of the key factors keeping people coming back to hunting year after year.
If you haven’t hunted before or want to rekindle that passion again, contact a family member or friend that hunts or a local gun club to get you started. Delaware, through the DNREC Division of Fish and Wildlife, provides numerous opportunities for you to hunt or just enjoy the outdoors on more than 68,000 acres of public lands throughout the state. Take the time to experience nature at its best and enjoy the beauty and hunting traditions that Delaware has to offer.
The fourth Saturday in September marks National Hunting and Fishing Day, an annual event that serves to engage Americans in the great outdoors. In 2025, that is Sept. 27. What are you waiting for?

Camilla Araujo was among the high-profile names spotted outside the Vetements runway show in Paris, where the fashion house staged one of the most closely watched events of Fashion Week.
The model and social media personality arrived in a striking slate-toned structured gown with dramatic shoulders and a floor-length hem. Styled with oversized black sunglasses and silver statement earrings, Araujo’s look drew attention from photographers and fans gathered outside despite the rainy weather.Still, it was Heidi Klum who dominated headlines with an ensemble that instantly went viral.
The 52-year-old model, accompanied by her daughter Leni, first posed for photos in an oversized overcoat and dark glasses.
Moments later, she revealed a floor-length gown of sheer gray lace with built-in gloves, leaving little to the imagination. Beneath the lace, Klum wore only a nude-toned thong.
The look, which debuted as part of Vetements’ Spring/Summer 2025 collection, shocked even seasoned Fashion Week attendees.
Klum also revealed metallic grills when she parted her lips on the carpet, further adding to the buzz.
“She looked fearless,” Araujo said. “Heidi’s been in this business for decades and still knows how to create a viral moment. I think that’s inspiring. Fashion should make people talk.”
The German supermodel previously walked in the same Vetements collection in a more covered-up look, pairing leather pants with a graphic T-shirt and long coat. But the lace gown worn Thursday may stand as one of her most daring public outfits to date.
For Araujo, the experience was about more than celebrity spectacle. “I come here for the art,” she said. “What Vetements does is unexpected. It’s not safe, and that’s the point. You see the clothes, but you also feel the culture shift happening in front of you.”

Avelo Airlines, Landline Company Power Commercial Growth at ILG
NEW CASTLE, Del. Today Delaware River and Bay Authority (DRBA) officials announced significant passenger traffic milestones at Wilmington Airport – ILG, solidifying its status as Delaware’s most convenient air travel provider. Since beginning operations at ILG in February 2023, Avelo Airlines has carried over 660,000 total passengers (enplaned and deplaned) as of June 30, 2025. A little more than two years ago, Delaware was the only state in the U.S. without commercial air service. During the first six months of 2025, the airline served 155,881 passengers at ILG, marking the highest commercial passenger numbers for a six-month period in the airport’s recent history.
“These record-setting passenger numbers emphasize the current demand for easy, affordable, and stress-free air travel that Wilmington Airport, Avelo Airlines and the Landline Company consistently provide,” said Thomas J. Cook, Executive Director of DRBA, which operates ILG. “Surpassing 660,000 total customers in just over two years and achieving a 20% increase in the first half of this year, is a testament to the trust and loyalty travelers place in ILG. We are immensely proud to be the preferred airport for so many in the Delaware Valley who seek that friendly neighborhood airport experience.”
Avelo Airlines Founder and CEO Andrew Levy added, “It’s a great milestone for Avelo flying over 650,000 Customers at the Philadelphia / Delaware Valley’s Wilmington Airport (ILG). Since the start of service at ILG in February 2023, our goal was to provide travelers with affordable, convenient and reliable air service and we’ve done just that. Here’s to even more Avelo Customers at ILG as we continue grow and expand in the Delaware Valley.”
An integral part of ILG’s ongoing success is Avelo Airlines’ growing network, which provides nonstop flights to popular locations. Top destinations for ILG passengers include Orlando (MCO), Tampa (TPA), Fort Lauderdale (FLL), Fort Myers (RSW), and San Juan, Puerto Rico (SJU). Customers continue to choose ILG due to its unparalleled convenience: short security lines, inexpensive parking close to the terminal, and a smooth travel experience that reduces congestion seen at larger airports.

Landline Company’s partnership with American Airlines has also contributed considerably to the increase in passenger traffic at ILG. Travelers using the Landline service enjoy a seamless connection: after checking their luggage and passing security at ILG, travelers using the Landline service board a luxurious motorcoach that transports them straight to the gates at Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) for their American Airlines flights.
“Our luxury motorcoach connection service makes travel easier and more convenient,” said Hannah Tamura, Landline spokesperson. “Passengers can park for less at ILG, ride in comfort with fast, free Wi-Fi, and connect through PHL to over 100 destinations on American Airlines – all while earning AAdvantage® miles along the way.”
ILG’s reputation as the best-kept secret for air travel in the region is further reinforced by its convenient location and ongoing commitment to offering a superior passenger experience. In an effort to further elevate the traveler experience, the airport is currently working on a multi-million-dollar terminal expansion, which is expected to be finalized in late 2025. This expansion will include further upgrades that include expanded passenger areas and restrooms, space for an additional TSA screening lane and additional concession choices.

Managed by the Delaware River and Bay Authority (DRBA), the Wilmington Airport (ILG) offers a convenient, hassle-free, and traveler-friendly experience unlike any other airport.

Before diving deeper into the features of Guarda Wallet Ultimate, it’s important to understand what makes a non-custodial wallet so crucial in today’s crypto landscape.

One of the wallet’s core advantages is its real-time tracking of cryptocurrency prices. Market volatility is both the beauty and the beast of crypto. Prices can surge 10% in an hour—or crash just as fast. Being connected to live data helps you stay ahead of the game.
Guarda integrates live pricing data directly into its interface. No more bouncing between apps or websites to check prices. With Guarda, you can create watchlists, view historical price charts, and receive alerts on market movements. Whether you’re a casual holder or an active trader, this level of insight ensures you never miss a beat.
The price tracking feature isn’t just informational—it’s actionable. Imagine seeing Bitcoin rise sharply and instantly deciding to swap some of your USDT for BTC, all within the same interface. Guarda makes that a seamless, one-click experience.
Accessibility is key. Guarda Wallet Ultimate is available on desktop, mobile (iOS & Android), web. This means you can manage your portfolio at home, on the go, or even while browsing DeFi platforms or interacting with NFTs.
All versions of the wallet sync smoothly, giving you a consistent experience no matter the device. Got a notification that cryptocurrency prices are surging while you’re in line at the store? Open the mobile app, execute a trade, and move on with your day.
Crypto isn’t just about holding anymore. It’s about making your assets work for you. Guarda Wallet Ultimate integrates both token swapping and staking, giving you the tools to grow your holdings with ease.
Swapping tokens within the wallet is quick, intuitive, and doesn’t require account verification or third-party custodians. Want to trade some BNB for MATIC? Just choose the pair and hit swap.
On the staking side, Guarda supports a growing number of proof-of-stake networks. Stake your Tezos, Cosmos, or Polkadot and start earning passive rewards directly from your wallet. The dashboard even shows expected APY and live market value, so you always understand the opportunity cost of staking vs. holding.
Despite the switch from free-to-air to pay-TV reducing global audience numbers in 2019, says GlobalData’s Sportcal
According to the 2019 F1 Audience report, Formula One has seen a 3.9% decline in unique viewers globally, with audiences falling to 471 million following the move from free to air to pay TV. Yet, this iconic racing series is growing audiences in the US, Middle East and Asia and still remains highly attractive to sponsors worldwide, with companies spending an estimate of $1.2bn annually on partnerships, according to Sportcal, a GlobalData company.

Sportcal’s latest report,
‘The Business of Formula One 2020’
, reveals that technology companies make up the majority of team sponsors across the grid, accounting for almost 20% of all team partners – given their ability to aid and enhance performance. Moreover, automotive brands are unsurprisingly heavily involved, making up 17.6% of all deals while clothing and accessories brands are the third most common sector sponsoring the sport, accounting for 13.5% of all deals.
Conrad Wiacek, Head of Analysis & Consulting at Sportcal, a GlobalData company, says: \”While the sport of F1 cannot claim to have the audience it did back in the mid-90s, thanks to the sport going for the money provided by pay-TV as opposed to free-to-air, brands are still as keen as ever to partner with the premier motor racing series as they see value in associating with the top tier of motorsport.”
Despite the decrease in viewers, the motorsport series still has a sizeable global audience, and this continues to grow across the Middle East and Asia.
Wiacek adds: “In 2019, both the US and China had a respective 7% and 5% increase of viewers according to F1’s annual viewership report. Highlighting the appeal to brands that through this partnership, there may be opportunities to reach strategic target markets.”
The return to prominence of some iconic teams such as McLaren, who with 41 individual partners are the most sponsored team in the paddock – ahead of Renault and Ferrari, who respectively have 32 and 28 individual team deals. McLaren still have no title sponsor, they have made a conscious decision to focus on developing multiple partnerships with brands who can either provide financial or technical support to aid their progress back to the front of the grid.
Wiacek continues: “While McLaren do not generate the same amount of revenue from their sponsors – $86.35m according to GlobalData’s Sportcal Intelligence Center, compared to Ferrari who lead the way with $254.1m thanks to their title sponsorship with Phillip Morris – they are well placed to lean on their partners to help them get back to winning ways.”
