Yllana Marie Aduana wore a nude-toned gown with peek-a-boo cutouts on her waist when she was crowned 2023 Miss Philippines Earth. But there was more to it than the sexy silhouette that emphasized her curves–around 5,000 safety pins were attached to it. The safety pins, however, were not attached to secure the gown in place or cinch some fitting flaws. They were strategically pinned all over the dress to create design patterns usually created with beads or crystals. This was another one of Aduana's sustainable clothing choices throughout her Miss Philippines Earth journey this year.

[Photo/Xinhua] Outlook: External oppression will only 'motivate China' Faced with the threats of "decoupling" and "breaking chains", China is expected to intensify efforts to deepen its high-level opening-up policy while cementing self-reliance in key areas, an eminent member of the country's academia said. Such an approach is expected to help China make breakthroughs in resolving bottlenecks in major technologies and move up the global value chains, which in turn will help keep global industrial and supply chains stable and boost world economic recovery, said Zhao Zhongxiu, president of the University of International Business and Economics in Beijing, in an exclusive interview with China Daily.

Spencer Platt/Getty Images (NEW YORK) -- As former President Donald Trump was being arraigned in Florida Tuesday on charges related to his handling of classified documents after leaving office, a federal judge in New York dealt him another legal blow. Judge Lewis Kaplan allowed writer E. Jean Carroll to amend a pending defamation lawsuit against Trump to include allegedly disparaging comments he made about her last month after he was found liable for sexually assaulting her. A jury last month found Trump liable for battery and defamation after Carroll alleged that Trump defamed her in a 2022 Truth Social post by calling her allegations "a Hoax and a lie" and saying "This woman is not my type!" when he denied her claim that he raped her in a Bergdorf Goodman dressing room in the 1990s.

JOCKEY Harry Coffey may be on the verge of a very important career first. Maybe. Or it might just not happen for another 12 months, or more. Maybe. It's an occasion which has been only a few weeks in the making but Coffey and wife Tayla reckon the first appearance of their son Thomas, aged six weeks, at his first Swan Hill Cup, watched by trainer and grandfather Austy, will be a big moment for the local racing dynasty. But, as the little guy's dad concedes, he will be busy with his big book of rides, and the grandfather will be training, so it will be a decision for Tayla.
