Adele became emotional as she told her fans she will miss them “terribly” during her final Las Vegas residency show. The British singer-songwriter, 36, launched Weekends With Adele at Caesars Palace in November 2022 and performed her 100th show on Saturday. Her run of sell-out shows at the venue, which seats around 4,000 people, has been a success but has also taken its toll. In July, she announced she would be taking a “big break” from music after her current run of shows. A post shared by Adele (@adele) Videos posted online from her concert on Saturday show the singer getting tearful as she bid farewell to Vegas. “It’s been wonderful and I will miss it terribly and I will miss you terribly”, she said. “I don’t know when I next want to perform again.” She also said she got “closure” when Canadian singer Celine Dion came to watch her perform, admitting that she cried for a “whole week” afterwards. “It was just such a full circle moment for me because that’s the only reason I ever even wanted to be in here”, she added. Adele shared an emotional embrace with Dion after she spotted the singer in the audience during her Las Vegas show last month. A post shared by Adele (@adele) In footage shared online, the British star can be seen breaking down in tears as they hug in The Colosseum at Caesars Palace, which was built for Dion’s residency. The Rolling In The Deep singer has been vocal about her love for Dion over the years, hailing her as “Queen Celine” after attending one of her performances in an Instagram post in 2018. Dion reciprocated the love at the time, sharing a photo to social media of her posing alongside Adele, who was wearing the singer’s merchandise. She wrote: “Wasn’t able to do all my shows, but was thrilled that @Adele came to one of them.... I love her so much!! – Celine xx”. After their encounter at the venue, Adele said in an Instagram post: “Words will never sum up what you mean to me, or what you coming to my show means, let alone how it felt seeing you back in your palace with your beautiful family.” We do not moderate comments, but we expect readers to adhere to certain rules in the interests of open and accountable debate.CHICAGO (AP) — Cairo Santos had a field goal blocked — again. DeAndre Carter muffed a punt in the second half. And those were just the special teams mistakes for the struggling Chicago Bears. Santos' blocked field goal and Carter's turnover were part of another sloppy performance for Chicago in its fifth consecutive loss. The pair of miscues helped set up two of Minnesota's three touchdowns in a 30-27 overtime victory . The Bears (4-7) closed out a miserable three-game homestand after they won their first three games of the season at Soldier Field. They were in position to beat Green Bay last weekend before Santos' 46-yard field goal attempt was blocked on the final play of the Packers' 20-19 win . “It’s tough. ... When things just aren’t going your way, you gotta put your head down and just keep going to work,” tight end Cole Kmet said. “It’s not easy to do but that’s kind of where we’re at.” Chicago and Minnesota were tied at 7 when Caleb Williams threw incomplete on third-and-4 at the Vikings 30 early in the second quarter. Bears coach Matt Eberflus sent Santos out for a 48-yard attempt, but it was knocked down by defensive lineman Jerry Tillery. “I think it was the penetration with the trajectory of the ball,” Santos said. “Had the ball started 3 or 4 inches to the right of both those guys' hands, I think it still goes in through the uprights.” Brian Asamoah returned the blocked kick 22 yards to set the Vikings up with good field position. Sam Darnold then capped a six-play, 53-yard drive with a 5-yard TD pass to Jalen Nailor for a 14-7 lead with 6:29 left in the first half. It was the third blocked field goal for Santos this year, the most for Chicago in a single season since it also had three blocked in 2012. Santos also had a 43-yard try blocked in the fourth quarter of a 35-16 victory over Jacksonville on Oct. 13. The Bears became the first NFL team to allow three blocked field goals in a season since the Browns and Ravens each had three blocked in 2022. “Whenever that happens two games in a row we’ve got to make sure we take a hard look in terms of the protection, the technique and who we have in there,” Eberflus said. “So it's going to be a big thing to look at.” Chicago trailed 17-10 when it forced a Minnesota punt midway through the third quarter. Carter warned his teammates to get out of the way, but it hit the ground and bounced off the inside of his right leg before it was recovered by Bo Richter at the Bears 15. The Vikings turned the mental error into Aaron Jones' 2-yard touchdown run and a 24-10 lead. “Gotta get out of the way of the ball. That’s on me,” Carter said. “I let the team down today. Game shouldn’t have been in the situation it was in. I felt bad for the guys.” Santos and Carter both played a role in a late rally for Chicago. Carter had a 55-yard kickoff return, and Santos got an onside kick to work before making a tying 48-yarder on the final play of regulation. But the Bears stalled on the first possession of overtime, and Darnold drove the Vikings downfield to set up Parker Romo's winning 29-yard field goal. “We're losing in the most unreal situations,” Bears receiver DJ Moore said. “Now it's like the luck's got to go in our favor at some point.” AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/NFLYoung women are being trafficked and exploited by local drug lords, says Minister for Women Lynda Tabuya. Speaking to this newspaper, Ms Tabuya provided the example of the two OnlyFans pornography creators who were booted out of Fiji because of their plans to shoot porn with Australian schoolies. “Now, this was done very visibly, because she (Bonnie Blue) went online visibly,” Ms Tabuya said. “But we have the local porn industry that is working quietly and doing porn videos and posting it up and preying on young people. “I mean, look at the trafficking of our young people, it’s almost every week we’re seeing a missing person, and they are usually young girls. So where do they go missing? “So, I’ve done some investigation from the ministry to ask these young girls where they go and they tell us it’s actually part of the drug trade. So for example, a drug lord will want a young girl for his entertainment. He will send one of his drug peddlers to go and get a young girl, lure her to come. So she’s missing for a few days. She goes and she’s with this drug lord and entertaining him, including sex and bribing her with all sorts of gadgets and things and giving her money, then returns her home. “Young girls are getting involved in this, and they’re getting paid for it. It is exploitation, it is sex trafficking, and it’s happening in our country because of the drug trade.” Ms Tabuya said she understood there was institutional corruption that needed to be addressed fast, but it was not an issue that a single agency or ministry could deal with. “Honourable Pio Tikoduadua should not be fighting this alone. It’s got to be all of us together to come together and say, how do we deal with this institutional corruption? “How do we remove it and there are ways to do it. So as a result, we formed a sub-committee to Cabinet on drugs, and it’s actually chaired by the Prime Minister.” Ms Tabuya said the committee also had the Ministries of Women, Health and Education, Home Affairs, iTaukei Affairs, and Youth and Sports. “This is how important this issue is, about drugs. So when we sit together, we said, OK, we are now on this highest level to make decisions about the issues on drugs. So it’s coming together. “We are guided by and looking at what the National Counter Narcotics Strategy and see the work that they’re doing, but it has to come to that highest level, and it takes political will to make these decisions. “It’s work in progress, but we’re doing our best.”

It's a damn fine chair. According to Jacob in his review , this is Secretlab "firing on all cylinders", and the feature set bears that out: it has the nowadays-mandatory 4D adjustable armrests, the ability to recline the chair to 165 degrees (in case you want to sleep in your gaming chair, for some reason) and a multi-tilt mechanism that accommodates any posture you can throw at it. These things usually go for AU$799, but for Black Friday you can pick one up for a more palatable AU$764 . It's about as low as premium Secretlab chairs get: they're basically the Nintendo of the gaming chair world, in the sense that while they do discount occasionally, the prices never dip past a certain threshold. The features listed above sound impressive on paper, but it's kinda difficult to convey the premium vibe the Titan Evo exudes, which is one of the things our review touches on. Part of it is its use of "Neo Hybrid" leatherette, which not only contributes to the aforementioned elegance, but also keeps the seat from getting uncomfortably warm and sweaty during long sessions. Save AU$35 The Titan Evo has been our favourite gaming chair for the longest time (and before that, our favourite gaming chair was a different Secretlab affair). Nowadays the Titan Evo is the benchmark for a brilliant gaming chair—it's comfortable, supportive, and easy to assemble. This discount carves a decent AU$35 from a premium product that basically never goes cheaper than that. Shipping is included. If you're not in the market for a gaming chair or just enjoy sitting on the ground, perhaps you'd like a desk instead? Secretlab's Black Friday sale also extends to its gaming desks, which means our favourite gaming desk—the Secretlab Magnus Pro —is also discounted from AU$1,218 to AU$1,099 (shipping included). What warrants spending that much on a table? This is both a standing and sitting desk, for one. The standing desk feature set is very flexible: you can adjust the bench electronically to the millimetre, and there's space to save three presets. Cable management is all onboard, and the thing is made out of steel . None of your whimsical wood, thank you very much: I like to use a desk that could crush a small hatchback. Jacob's review of this desk is probably more persuasive, though he does note that it's a pricey piece of kit. This discount hardly drops it into impulse buy territory, but if you're in the market for a desk it's a good time to consider this. Save AU$220 A nice saving on this sturdy, digitally modular gaming desk, which has the distinction of being PC Gamer's best gaming desk . Perfect for sitting or standing, this thing packs in brilliant cable management solutions and is made of steel, so it isn't going to break under the weight of your well-endowed rig. While Black Friday doesn't technically start until late next week, most Australian retailers are already offering big sales.
