CALIFORNIA FIRE: 62,000 People Have Fled Blaze

Bachelor Winter Games Fan Favorite Couples Courtney Dover & Lily McManus breakup


     Lily McManus and Courtney Dober have called it quits.The Bachelor Winter Games couple, who was loved by many fans, announced their split on Instagram Monday.

"Wish I didn't have to do this... Unfortunately it's the world we live in, so here it is," Dober, 31, captioned a video of one of he and McManus' first encounters on Winter Games.

"There's probably not many of you who'll understand this or even be able to relate, but Lily and i have chosen not to end our relationship but to continue it as mates," he wrote. "We're best friends and its become clear to both of us that the emotional side of our relationship just doesn't allow us to be the best versions of ourselves."

Dober added, "Perhaps in a world where there are no distractions, no life obstacles, nothing else mattered and looking into the future wasn't even a thought, things might be different... but that's not reality and we've decided that this is for the best."


Dober then went on to explain he chose to use the deleted Winter Games scene with McManus, 21, because it "captures us."

"In my eyes this was the moment our relationship began, 8 months, 2 weeks and 2 days ago," he said. "Man time flies... I love ya kid. At 21 I've never met someone who's lived so many lives, achieved so much and who's still so ambitious and ready to take over the world."

Dober concluded, "I've always lived under the motto -- 'Everything happens for a reason' and I have no doubt we were meant to meet."

McManus also addressed their breakup with a sweet message.

"Court is a bloody good man, every fiber of his being," wrote McManus, who appeared on Season 3 of The Bachelor New Zealand.

"He's good with his hands, he gets worried if I'm cold, puts together a solid peppermint tea, average joke teller, lives pretty well with a full force of caffeine addiction, doesn't mind being the little spoon, froths a peanut M&M, will talk s--- with me," McManus continued.

"It makes my eyes leak a little bit but myself and Court have decided to split on mutual terms. I love Court with every ounce of my being, that long limbed f--- will be a part of my life for a very long time," she said.

"You guys watched us fall in love and it was honestly just as magical as it looked in real life. I never thought I'd be the type of woman to fall in love on TV but now I am that bitch. I can already feel the 'love is dead' comments brewing but I can promise you guys it is 100% alive and well," McManus added."

In June, McManus and Dober celebrated their 6-month anniversary in Australia.

CALIFORNIA FIRE: 62,000 People Have Fled Blaze

  The evacuations have come amid a grueling heat wave, the coronavirus pandemic and air thick with smoke. The wildfires have burned through more than 350,000 acres. The wildfires that continued to rip across Northern California on Thursday have forced 62,000 people from their homes and threaten evacuations for 100,000 more. Firefighters have struggled to contain the blazes, and massive smoke clouds have harmed the air quality. A large group of fires burning in wine country west of Sacramento had grown to cover 131,000 acres, according to Cal Fire, the state’s fire authority. The agency said that, in all, nearly 350,000 acres have burned in Northern and Central California, with many fires sparked by lightning strikes in the high heat and then fanned by winds. Those conditions helped new fires sprout across the state on Wednesday and Thursday, and caused other fires to merge, complicating efforts to contain the combined blazes. Almost two dozen major fires were reported on Wednesday,...

Every Delayed 2020 Movie Without A New Release Date

Several 2020 movies have seen their release dates delayed as a result of the coronavirus pandemic; here's every film that still needs a new one. With theaters closed down and film and TV production shut-down until further notice, Hollywood's 2020 release calendar has been all but  wiped clean on through to the middle of July  (with a few exceptions which will eventually have to move, as we'll discuss later). There's no guarantee theaters will be reopen for business by that point either, in spite of chains like Cinemark saying  they hope to resume showing new movies  that month. The New Mutants ANTLERS RUN THE WOMAN IN THE WINDOW LAST NIGHT IN SOHO SPIRAL: FROM THE BOOK OF SAW GREYHOUND ANTEBELLUM Other Movies On top of all the bigger 2020 movies in need of a new release date after being delayed, there are also smaller indie titles like  Promising Young Woman  and  Saint Maud  (both of which premiered to strong reviews on the film festival cir...

#Skills That Will Be In High Demand In The Future - By Richard Bradson

I’ve always relied on instinct when it comes to calculating risks, putting trust in people and making important business decisions. There are some things that can’t be summed up in a statistic, and this is when you need to use a bit of intuition. Image from Adam Slama On the  Strive Challenge  this year, I had an interesting conversation on the topic with the team, who have all followed incredible careers across many different sectors – from business and science to aerospace engineering and medicine. We were discussing how decisions are becoming more and more data-driven, as technology and artificial intelligence advances. However, as we rely more and more on analytics to make our decisions, we’re losing touch of our human instinct and we’re taking human reasoning out of the equation. We all agreed on the danger this presents and the importance of looking at every decision with a human lens. Creativity, problem solving, reasoning and...
