5 Features to Look for in Chauffeured Ground Transportation

When it is corporate events, weddings, or sightseeing tours with friends, there is much room for excellence in making everything worthwhile, especially by choosing luxury chauffeured ground transportation. Such a prime vehicle will certainly provide not just comfort but also that taste of opulence with accessibility. Below are the top five necessary features in seeking the ideal chauffeured ground transportation:

Comfortable and spacious seating

The hallmark of chauffeured ground transportation is its superior seating. Seek ground transportation with comfortable, soft, and cushioned seats. Ensure the ground transportation offers legroom so that everyone in it can sit comfortably during travel. Adjustable armrests and reclining seats also increase comfort, especially on long-distance trips. Air conditioning, adjustable lighting, and tinted windows enhance comfort.

Comfortable seating is key for corporate teams or wedding guests arriving at their destination looking rested and refreshed. In order to enjoy a luxurious chauffeured ground transportation experience, these details are non-negotiable when booking the service.

State-of-the-art entertainment systems

Many of the present luxury chauffeured ground transportation contain entertainment systems; therefore, no one gets bored during the trip. For example, there is a large-screen LED or a surround sound system, Wi-Fi connection as well as USB charging outlets. These features can make a difference in organizing a group trip: everybody can stay connected, watch movies, or even conduct meetings on the go. Ask your provider if their executive town car service in Sydney includes customizable entertainment options to cater to your group’s specific needs. For more info click on this link.

On 29th February 1904 the Pavilion Theatre, Glasgow, opened.

Designed by Bertie Crewe for Thomas Barrasford, the Pavilion Theatre opened at the corner of Renfield Street and Renfrew Street, Glasgow on the 29 February, 1904. It was regarded as luxurious for its time with its decor being described by the owners as “pure Louis XV”. An electrically operated sliding roof ensured good ventilation.

Performances in the early days were mainly variety, melodrama and pantomime. Many of the leading music hall artistes of the period appeared at the Pavilion, including Marie Lloyd, Little Tich, Harry Lauder, Florrie Forde, Will Fyffe, Sarah Bernhardt and a then unknown Charlie Chaplin.

Since the 1930s, the Pavilion began to host pantomimes with top name stars of the Scottish variety scene, such as Harry Gordon and Dave Willis. In more recent times it has produced plays, such as ‘The Sash’ and ‘The Steamie’.

The Pavilion Theatre is now the only privately run theatre in Scotland and one of a few unsubsidised independent theatres left in Britain.

“Defying all the odds, Glasgow’s Pavilion regularly purveys variety to this day. All the more remarkable as it is completely unsubsidised and receives no funding from the Scottish Arts Council and kindred bodies whose thoughts and cash are directed at higher cultural activities. It remains the last stronghold of a long music hall tradition in Europe’s City of Culture owing everything to a dedicated staff and patrons and nothing to the public purse.

With its imposing terra cotta facade, the Pavilion Theatre of Varieties was designed by Bertie Crewe in the grand manner for Thomas Barrasford. The domed ceiling was surmounted by an electrically controlled sliding roof for ventilation. Fine Rococo plasterwork on the circle, balcony and box fronts; decoration executed in pure Louis XV; handsome mahogany woodwork and the marble mosaic floor all lent the 1800 seat theatre an aura of splendour.

No less amusing than the dentist advertising in the Pavilion programme “painless extractions with nitrous oxide for 4/- (20p) or cocaine for 1/- (5p)”, were the press observations on the “fashionable company” which attended the Pavilion’s first house on 29th February,1904. We learn that “among the elite there was quite a preponderance of ladies and gentlemen of quality in evening dress”. Alas, class consciousness and respectability were all in Edwardian Britain!

The ‘forties and ‘fifties saw pantomime runs of sixteen weeks, the happy and hilarious summer seasons were emulated during the 1960s and early 1970s by Lex McLean. Another regular crowd puller to Renfield Street was Jack Milroy.

Lulu from Dennistoun (real name Marie Lawrie) broke box office records in 1975, Billy Connolly, Hector Nicol Andy Cameron portrayed their own distinctive brands of humour while Scottish songstresses Lena Zavaroni, , Sheena Easton, Lena Martell and Barbara Dickson also scored heavily with Pavilion audiences.

It was anything but plain sailing for the Pavilion and there was gloomy speculation of closure after incurring heavy financial losses in 1981. Spared the fate which befell the Queens, Metropole, Empire, Alhambra and Empress Theatres, the 80 years old Pavilion was rescued by James Glasgow and transformed into a modest profit maker. Smash-hit shows with Sydney Devine; spells from hypnotist Robert Halpern; pantomime with Denny Willis, and one night gigs from the foremost modern television entertainers have kept the cash tills registering.

The Pavilion also played a major role in the annual Mayfest – Glasgow’s International Festival of popular theatre, music, the arts and community programmes.

Little altered and virtually unspoilt since its inception, the seating capacity of 1449 is made up of 677 stalls, 341 circle, 413 balcony and 18 box seats. While the stiff shirts in chauffeur-driven cabs have given way to coach parties from the rural areas of Strathclyde and beyond, a policy of providing the best in live entertainment has been pursued consistently. The portents look good for the vibrant Pavilion Theatre of Varieties.”

The Pavillion is, in my view a survivor, even over the past few years tragedy has struck the area with a series of fires.

FAMILY CONNECTIONS 3/4: the fuimano-monet’s.

JACK FUIMAONO: former a-list actor turned acting coach and executive film producer. faked an american accent and used a fake english last name to better blend into the industry. born and raised on the outskirts of sydney, nearby australian wilderness. moved to los angeles with a group of friends at around eighteen for career ambitions. the only one who managed to get call backs after a while and he started paying majority of the bills for everyone, which lead to clashing egos and resentment. his partnership with claire, a highly desirable supermodel, solidified his status and made it clear that he was forever changed as a man. they had been friends for a while due to overlapping social groups, and she agreed to go on dates because her suitors were often twice her age and terribly boring. did not intend to start a family; but one thing lead to another and they agreed to a partnership through marriage to avoid a scandal, and to have each other to fall back on. retired from acting in his early 30s as the spotlight fatigued him, using his close relationship with the benito castillo and elijah irvine to kickstart his foray into film production. ☼ capricorn ☾ sagittarius ↑ libra

CLAIRE MONET: former supermodel turned beauty mogul. born and raised in normandy, france, on her family’s dairy farm. desired a life of success and abundance and did not see herself being a fourth generation cattle hand whatsoever. begged her parents to send her to an uppity school in the wealthier suburb for better opportunities. did her work with the animals in the morning, changed into more fashion forward clothes at school and transformed into the regal, popular it-girl who was notoriously secretive about her life outside of academics. snuck out of the house her senior year to party at a nightclub nestled in the streets of Paris, immediately scouted by a photographer who fed her a fantasy of high fashion modeling. claire kept it to herself and abandoned the farm post graduation, immediately immersing herself into modeling and becoming the face of several different brands, and the muse of a notoriously cutthroat fashion designer. retired from modeling when she grew tired of it, but used her name and her wealth to secure a hair care, makeup and beauty brand that’s still on shelves to this day. ☼ leo ☾ aries ↑ scorpio

JASON DAKOTA FUIMAONO-MONET: destined for greatness the second he popped out of the womb, with media outlets desperate to get a picture of his newborn face. parents moved to a more secluded area to avoid the constant camera flashes and made it a point to keep him out of tabloids, as they considered child fame abusive and unhealthy. but claire allowed him to do child modeling if she was with him on sets. jack entertained his fleeting acting ambitions just for the hell if it, but discouraged him from seriously pursuing it until he was an adult. they put him in sports to ground him and keep him away from hollywood’s chaos, but knew that he wouldn’t stay in the background for forever. dakota loved being the center of attention, often putting on performances to make people laugh. like sliding to the front during a group picture and posing dramatically. both his parents are endlessly proud of his accomplishments, yet anxious about losing him to fame. ☼ scorpio ☾ aries ↑ leo

KAILEE CLEMENCÈ FUIMAONO-MONET: born five years after her brother, kailee experienced an entirely different version of her family unit. didn’t really know what the big deal was when it came to their jobs, but understood that her parents were very important people. did her best to connect to dakota, but their age gap and very different personalities made it hard. anxious about living up to his reputation, so she decided to coast through life on her charisma and beauty to avoid being looked at under a microscope. it worked because she was always treated like a special princess who could do no wrong, often manipulating her family into babying her for attention. went viral on tiktok around 2019 and built a YouTube channel off of that success; but kept her famous lineage out of it until she felt comfortable to do so. genuinely did not expect to blow up and heavily leaned on her parents, who had no clue how to manage social media fame. currently a mainstream influencer and model with a sizable fanbase. ☼ libra ☾ gemini ↑ gemini

A opinion piece about P's potential role at Bayern :)

https://www.90min.de/posts/pernille-harder-die-neue-spielmacherin-des-fc-bayern

Pernille Harder: Bayern Munich's new playmaker

With Pernille Harder, one of the best offensive players in the world will play in the FC Bayern Frauen jersey from the coming season . The already strong offensive of the reigning German champions will be raised to a higher level with the top transfer. But what is the best way to use Harder at Bayern and who has to leave the starting XI for them

The Dane is considered a "complete attacking player" because she can play almost any position in attack: up front, as a shadow striker, false nine, ten or eight. Like hardly any other player, Harder knows how to position herself instinctively and, as a strong-willed team player, also put her teammates in the limelight. In order for her to be able to fully develop her world class and creativity in the third attack, however, the tactical setting has to be right.

Under head coach Alexander Straus, who has been on the sidelines since 2022, Bayern developed a much more flexible style of play than under predecessor Jens Scheuer, which is also more oriented towards possession and is defined by dynamic, short passes in tight spaces. It's a style that suits Harder better than her former club Chelsea. The Blues are more direct in their attacks. In fast forward play, the goal is to get the ball from the defensive line to the front of the attack and from there into the goal in as few moves as possible.

On the Isar, more value is placed on a clean build-up and passing game from behind. The routes in the direction of the opponent's box are less predictable, as it sometimes goes to the left, sometimes to the right and sometimes through the center. Harder brings the perfect qualities and skills for this: an enormous spatial awareness, the perfect instinct for runs and cleverly executed passes as well as an almost effortless proactivity on and against the ball.

As of June 2023, FC Bayern has the following offensive players in its own ranks in addition to Pernille Harder: Lina Magull, Karólína Lea Vilhjálmsdóttir, Sydney Lohmann, Franziska Kett, Linda Dallmann, Klara Bühl, Weronika Zawistowska, Jovana Damnjanovic and Lea Schüller. There will not be room for everyone in the starting XI, although rotation will be one of the imperatives for next season. The competition will be fierce, also because the working papers from Magull and Lohmann will expire next year.

What this strong offensive lacks, however, is a playmaker in the last third. This was already evident last season when cleverly implemented attacks didn't end in a goal, the game was characterized by a lack of efficiency or there were difficulties against opponents who were standing deep. In general, it is the playmaker's job to act as the switchboard between attacking midfield and striker, to get the ball into dangerous positions through accurate passing, but also to complete an attack herself.

If the Dane took over this role from next season, it would look a little different, because the Munich team is not a team that is tactically built around a single player. In all probability, Harder will orientate himself in the attack line behind Lea Schüller. The Bayern striker, who always moved away from the fixed point on the nine in the game last season and sometimes worked more in the direction of the attacking chain in midfield, could now move back into the attack as a classic nine with Harder's commitment.

Harder would either act as a shadow striker or ten behind Schüller, depending on how Alexander Straus sets up his team. The Dane would be flanked by Klara Bühl, who is a permanent fixture on the right wing. The left flank raises the bigger question mark: with Carolin Simon and the Austrian new signing Katharina Naschenweng, there are two flexible, attacking full-backs on this side.

In the past season, it was often observed how the Munich team started the games with a back four, which then quickly proved to be a hybrid, as at least one of the full-backs slipped into the role of the rail player when the ball was in possession. So what does this defensive orientation have to do with Pernille Harder?

A high-playing left-back would allow the offensive power (Lohmann or Magull) next to the Dane to orient themselves more centrally in the attacking midfield. Harder could then, in keeping with her new team's hybrid-flexible playstyle, switch between being behind Schüller and playing as ten, while giving her the freedom to thrive on the field. It's also important to note that she can act as a playmaker in both situations without having to field the team around her.

Even if the offensive department of the FC Bayern women seems to be overloaded with top players, the transfer of Pernille Harder makes a lot of sense. As a longtime captain of the Danish national team, she brings a special leadership mentality to Munich, which can bring the whole team a big step forward. Cross-competitive experience and the qualities at world class level described above make the player the new key figure in FC Bayern's attack.

Chelsea striker and Australia captain Sam Kerr is set to face trial after being charged with racially aggravated harassment of a London police officer.

The 30-year-old pleaded not guilty to the offence at a court hearing on Monday, the Crown Prosecution Service said.

Kerr is scheduled to appear at Wimbledon Magistrates Court on 1 February 2025.

It follows an alleged incident in January 2023.

"The charge relates to an incident involving a police officer who was responding to a complaint involving a taxi fare on 30 January 2023 in Twickenham," a Metropolitan Police spokesperson said.

Kerr was charged on 21 January this year "with a racially aggravated offence under Section 4A [of the] Public Order Act 1986", they added.

However, she denied the charge at a plea and trial preparation hearing at Kingston upon Thames Crown Court on Monday.

The striker is currently sidelined after sustaining an anterior cruciate ligament injury at the club's warm weather training camp in Morocco in January.

She has scored 99 goals in 128 matches since joining Chelsea in 2019, and is her country's all-time record goalscorer with 64 goals in 125 games.

Speaking to media in Adelaide on Tuesday, Football Australia chief executive James Johnson said the federation had learned of the "very serious allegations" in the news that morning.

"There is no place for racism in our sport," he said. "At the same time Sam has rights, natural justice rights, procedural rights that she has to work through and we will respect that."

Asked if Kerr - arguably Australia's biggest sports star - should be stood down as the national team's captain until the court case has played out, Mr Johnson said the governing body needed to "establish the facts" before deciding its "next step".

"We are trying to get to the bottom of it at the moment... we've got to find out what actually happened," he added.

"I haven't spoken to Sam other than a text message to check in on her wellbeing."

Matildas coach Tony Gustavsson told reporters in Sydney he was "surprised" by the allegations but could not say anything further.

During her time at Chelsea, Kerr has won four Women's Super League titles, three FA Cups, two Women's League Cups and the Women's Community Shield.

She has also been nominated for the Ballon d'Or Féminin - the top prize in women's football - every year since its inception in 2018, placing second last year.

Chelsea have declined to comment.

Car Rental Sydney Airport: Tips for Driving in Sydney

Sydney is one of the most visited cities in Australia, famous for its picturesque harbor, vibrant culture, and beautiful coastlines. Driving around Sydney offers the flexibility and convenience to make the most of your visit. However, there are some essential tips you should be aware of to ensure a safe, smooth, and enjoyable experience. Here’s your complete guide for driving in Sydney after picking up your car rental at Sydney Airport.

Get Familiar with Australian Road Rules

Australia has specific road rules that you need to understand before you hit the streets of Sydney. Here are some key points:

Drive on the Left Side: In Australia, drivers stay on the left side of the road. It can be a challenge if you’re used to driving on the right, so take your time and pay extra attention, especially at intersections and roundabouts.

Seatbelt Requirement: Wearing seatbelts is mandatory for all passengers in the car, and children must be secured in age-appropriate child seats.

Mobile Phone Use: It’s illegal to use your mobile phone while driving unless you have a hands-free or voice-activated setup. Heavy fines apply if you’re caught.

Speed Limits: Sydney enforces strict speed limits, and they vary depending on the area. Residential zones generally have a limit of 50 km/h, while major roads and highways can range from 80 to 110 km/h. Be alert for speed signs and speed cameras, which are widespread in the city.

Plan Your Route from Sydney Airport

Sydney Airport is a bustling hub, and the roads around it can be tricky, especially during peak times. Ensure these:

Use a GPS or Navigation App: Most car rental companies provide vehicles with built-in GPS, but you can also use your smartphone for navigation. Having a clear idea of your route can reduce stress significantly.

Prepare for Toll Roads: Sydney has several toll roads, including the M5 Motorway, Cross City Tunnel, and Eastern Distributor. These tolls can add up, so plan ahead and consider using an electronic toll tag, which makes payments easy and hassle-free. You can either bring your own tag or opt for a rental car company’s toll pass. For more info click on this link.

Trust the Process: A Game Plan for Spinal Health in 2025

When it comes to achieving optimal health, many of us focus on the results: reduced pain, improved posture, or more energy. But, as legendary football coach Nick Saban teaches, real success comes not from obsessing over outcomes but from perfecting the process.

Saban’s famous philosophy—focus on the process, not the scoreboard—provides a powerful mental framework for spinal health. Much like a winning team executes each play with precision and consistency, your health thrives when you commit to small, deliberate actions every day.

Here’s how you can apply the “Process” mindset to your spinal health and wellness in 2025:

Step 1: Focus on the Present Moment

Nick Saban’s philosophy begins with a razor-sharp focus on the present. Instead of worrying about winning championships, his players perfect the play at hand. Similarly, your spinal health journey starts with paying attention to your body today.

Ask yourself:

Am I sitting for hours without moving?

Do I notice tension in my neck, shoulders, or back?

Am I ignoring subtle aches or signs of discomfort?

Addressing these small signals now prevents larger problems later. Start by stretching, adjusting your posture, or standing up every 20 minutes. These micro-decisions may seem minor, but like a perfectly executed play, they add up to game-changing results.

Step 2: Break It Down into Manageable Steps

Saban’s process is all about breaking goals into actionable steps. For spinal health, this means shifting away from one-time fixes and instead adopting a structured game plan.

Here’s a simple framework:

Awareness: Notice where your body feels stressed or misaligned.

Action: Add small changes, like ergonomic seating or daily stretches.

Support: Commit to regular chiropractic adjustments to align and strengthen your spine.

Every stretch, adjustment, and mindful habit prepares your spine to handle the pressures of daily life, much like drills prepare athletes for game day.

Step 3: Eliminate Distractions

In football, distractions like the scoreboard or the crowd can derail focus. In life, our distractions often include stress, poor posture, or ignoring early warning signs.

By choosing to prioritise your spinal health, you cut through the noise. Whether it’s making time for movement during a busy day or scheduling consistent chiropractic care, the key is to stay focused on what truly matters—your well-being.

Step 4: Build Habits for the Long Haul

Saban teaches his players to commit to the process, even when it’s challenging. The same applies to spinal health. While the occasional adjustment provides temporary relief, real results come from a long-term commitment.

Regular chiropractic care builds resilience in your spine.

Daily posture checks prevent bad habits from taking root.

Simple mobility routines ensure your body stays flexible and strong.

By focusing on consistent, proactive care, you can prevent discomfort before it begins and create a foundation for lifelong wellness.

Step 5: Take Ownership of the Process

In Saban’s system, each player is responsible for their role in the team’s success. Similarly, in your health journey, you are the most important player. Taking ownership means showing up for yourself, committing to small, consistent actions, and seeking expert guidance when needed.

Remember: no one else can do the work for you. But with the right support and a clear plan, you can achieve results that go far beyond short-term relief.

Trust the Process—The Results Will Follow

Saban’s mantra is simple: trust the process, and the results will take care of themselves. The same is true for spinal health. By focusing on small, deliberate actions each day, you’ll create a foundation for a stronger, more resilient body in 2025 and beyond.

At BRAIN TO BODY®, we’re here to guide you through this process with expert chiropractic care and personalised wellness strategies. Located at Retail 5/6 Central Park Ave, Chippendale NSW 2008, we specialise in proactive spinal health and nervous system balance.

[ad_1] Rishabh Pant and Yashasvi Jaiswal at the SCG (PC: Debasis Sen) Gargi Raut in Sydney The iconic Sydney Cricket Ground showcased an out-of-the-ordinary pitch as India’s batting lineup faltered in the series decider of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. After a collective decision from the management, Rohit Sharma, the skipper, opted out of the match, yet India’s batters struggled on a tacky surface, losing three wickets in the morning session and Virat Kohli shortly after the second one began. While Rishabh Pant and Ravindra Jadeja tried to put up a fight, Scott Boland dismantled the Indian innings with his relentless consistency. By the end of the day, it was Pant who had the top score of 40, while Jadeja contributed 26 and late boundaries from Jasprit Bumrah, captaining the side, pushed the total past 180. Boland’s brilliant four-wicket haul, supported by Mitchell Starc and Pat Cummins, left India with more questions than answers. As the bowlers prepare to defend a modest total, the focus after the opening day is on India’s recurring batting woes. Is the problem rooted in strategy, execution, or an unclear approach? Ahead of the Melbourne Test, Rohit Sharma had highlighted the challenges of batting abroad, stating: “It’s difficult to set in, and batters have been unable to convert their starts.” He expressed his confidence in the young batters – Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal – suggesting that they “know what they need to do.” Yet, these assurances seem disconnected from the repeated failures on the field. Gautam Gambhir, India’s head coach, echoed the same sentiment ahead of this game, saying: “All individuals know what they need to do.” A recurring theme from India’s press conferences was that “we know what we need to do”, yet the execution on the field told a different story. Does it highlight a disconnect between individual awareness and overarching strategy? Or does it raise doubts about the Indian batting line-up’s approach? Or does the contrast between planning and implementation show the lack of ability in the batters? For the Latest Sports News: Click Here Virat Kohli ducking a ball at the SCG (PC: Debasis Sen) Wickets gifted Throughout the series, India’s batters have followed a pattern of dismissals, starting with Kohli, who has flirted with deliveries outside off stump, consistently leading to his downfall. Kohli has fallen to balls outside the off stump in the past seven innings, and his struggles against disciplined bowling have been made worse by the tendency to play expansive shots at the wrong time. Boland, who dismissed Kohli for the fourth time in the series, spoke of a clear strategy. “We’ve got pretty set plans on how we want to bowl to him,” Boland said to Fox Cricket. “He sort of feels like he leaves a lot and then he wants to play the ball once he gets in. So, once he gets in, we just want to switch our lines a little bit to the fifth stump and it’s working at the moment.” Rishabh Pant Pant has shown both glimpses of brilliance and recklessness. In Melbourne, he fell attempting an outrageous lap-scoop in both innings, while in Sydney he holed out in the deep after battling through body blows. Looking back on his partnership with Yashasvi Jaiswal in the 4th Test, the duo stitched together a crucial 88-run stand that gave India a chance to push for a draw and stabilised the innings after early losses. However, Pant marked the end of the partnership and his 104-ball innings with a reckless shot. Following his dismissal, India’s batting crumbled, with no subsequent partnership exceeding 10 runs. On Friday, Pant managed to get in once again, showing control and determination, yet he threw his wicket away with another rash shot as a golden opportunity to anchor the innings slipped away. Shubman Gill wastes another start On the other hand, 25 year-old Gill returned to the squad for the decider but squandered a chance to solidify his position. His dismissal before lunch, an ill-timed prod against Nathan Lyon, reflected a lack of game awareness and poor shot selection.

He had no reason to attempt such a shot, especially in the final over before lunch. His wicket left India in dire straits and highlighted the team’s broader struggle with composure under pressure. India’s inability to capitalise on key moments remain a glaring concern. The series is poised at 1-1 and the SCG Test is India’s last chance to assert dominance in the BGT. A loss here in Sydney could signal the end of India’s recent reign in Australia, adding immense pressure on the team and management.
