One of the most highly anticipated junior tournaments of the summer, the 2024 USTA National Clay Court Championships, took place between July 6 to July 14. With players gathering in Florida, Alabama, North Carolina, and South Carolina across four different age groups, the competition was intense. Each draw consisted of Boys’ and Girls’ Singles and Doubles with 128, or even close to 200 in the 18s, players taking the courts with their eyes set on the prize. With so many athletes in action, USTA Florida was well represented on the national stage as they gave everything they had. Overall, it was a successful weekend for Florida tennis as four individuals left with some hardware for their performances. Starting with the 18s division, there were some great performances all around from USTA Florida athletes. One duo, Max Pettingell (Sarasota) and Jack Satterfield (Tampa) went in as the top seed and played like it throughout the tournament. The pair handled business in their first four matches and in the semifinal, showed great adversity. After splitting the first two sets, they found their groove and took the final set 6-1. Riding that momentum in the championship, they dominated their opponents, winning 6-1, 6-2 to claim the title. Jack adds this title alongside his Bobby Curtis win from 2023. Max Pettingell (Left) and Jack Satterfield (Right). Over in the Girls’ draw, Linda Ziets-Segura (Wesley Chapel) teamed up with Kady Tannenbaum (New York) and entered as the top seed. It was pure domination from the girls as they didn’t back away from anyone on the other side of the court. Linda and Kady didn’t drop a single set as they became Clay Court Champions. The stats looked even more impressive as they won 72 of 98 games across their 12 sets in 6 matches played. Linda Ziets-Segura (Far Left) and Kady Tannenbaum teamed up to win the Girls’ 18s Doubles. In the Boys’ 12s draw, David Bender (Indian Harbour Beach) had a phenomenal week. In the Singles draw, David found his stride early, taking down some tough foes, and even battling backing to win some matches in a tiebreaker. He would fall in the semifinals to eventual champion, Daniel Gardality (California). However, David and Daniel would team up for the Doubles draw and this duo was nearly flawless. They rolled through their first few matches to reach the championship. There, they found themselves down as David and Daniel dropped the opening set. Unphased, the two battled back, winning the following two sets and becoming Clay Court Champions. This win adds to David’s already impressive resume at a young age. He won the Bobby Curtis Green Ball Section Championship in 2022, and at this year’s Bobby Curtis, he finished third. David Bender (Farr Left) and Daniel Gardality won the Boys’ 12s Doubles. Other top performers from the National Clay Court Championships included Anita Tu (Melbourne) in the Girls’ 18s as she took down some of the best junior players at the tournament. She finished second, losing a close match in the finals. Also in that division, Bella Payne (Bradenton) finished in third. Anita Tu was the Girls’ 18s Singles Finalist. Over in the Boys’ 18s, Brennon Chow (Miami) reached the semifinals, before withdrawing due to injury. Lyla Messler (Largo) and Maria Navarro (Palm Beach Gardens) were semifinalists in the Girls’ 16s. While Teaghan Jou An Keys (Boca Raton) and Riko Pang (Boca Raton) both reached the semifinals in the Girls’ 14s.

Florida, the Sunshine State, is primarily known for its great weather all year round, but that’s not all it has to offer.

One cool venue in Florida you must visit is the Seminole Classic Casino Hollywood. Seminole Classic Casino Hollywood The Seminole Classic Casino Hollywood is a pioneer 24-hour gaming and entertainment center that opened in 1979. It was the first large-stakes bingo hall in the country when it opened. The casino has since expanded and developed a reputation as the ultimate gaming location venue in Florida.

Online gambling in Florida The Seminole Classic Casino Hollywood offers great gaming and entertainment. However, its popularity has also been fueled by the fact that running online real-money casinos in Florida is yet to be legal. You can only enjoy the thrill of online gambling in Florida if you play at online social casinos. Social casinos offer the games you will find at real-money online casinos, but instead of betting with your money, you play with virtual money. This virtual currency comes in gold coins or sweepstakes coins, depending on the social casino and game.  With Gold coins, you can only use them for playing and making in-game purchases. However, with Sweepstakes Coins, there is potential to win cash prizes outside the games. To accumulate more coins on social casinos, you can redeem daily promotions, complete tasks, or purchase them. The love for social casinos in Florida is amplified by the community aspect they bring into gaming. Players are ranked on leaderboards, and you can share achievements on social media platforms like Facebook. Furthermore, some of the largest social casinos have communities on social media where players chat and interact. The social casinos in Florida are among the most popular in states that do not permit real-money online casinos. However, Floridians anticipate a change in access to real-money online gambling following the Supreme Court decision on 17 June 2024, which gave the Seminole Tribe the go-ahead to continue offering online sports betting in Florida through its Hard Rock Bet app. 3 things to know before visiting Florida While Florida is a great tourist destination site, being well-informed before visiting will improve the quality of your stay.

Kundalini yoga is a profound and transformative practice that integrates physical postures, breathwork, meditation, and chanting to awaken and elevate spiritual energy. At its core, Kundalini yoga is centered around the concept of "Kundalini," a dormant energy believed to reside at the base of the spine. The aim of the practice is to awaken this latent energy and allow it to rise through the seven chakras, or energy centers, along the spine. This ascent is intended to lead to greater spiritual enlightenment and personal growth. Image by Coka / Adobestock A typical Kundalini yoga session involves a variety of components. Kriyas, which are specific sequences of postures, breathwork, and meditation, are central to the practice. Each kriya is designed to achieve particular outcomes, such as increased vitality or mental clarity. These structured sequences help target different aspects of physical and spiritual well-being. Breathwork, or pranayama, is another essential element. Techniques like "Breath of Fire" involve rapid, rhythmic breathing that energizes and detoxifies the body while enhancing focus and deepening meditation. Meditation in Kundalini yoga often includes focused attention, visualization, and mantra chanting. These practices help quiet the mind, cultivate inner peace, and foster a deeper connection with the self. Mantra chanting, which involves repeating sacred sounds or phrases, is believed to resonate at specific frequencies that transform the practitioner’s energy field, leading to spiritual awakening and emotional healing. The benefits of Kundalini yoga are wide-ranging. Practitioners often report enhanced self-awareness and a clearer understanding of their life’s purpose. Emotional balance is also improved, with the practice promoting resilience and reducing stress. Additionally, regular practice can lead to increased energy and vitality, rejuvenating both the body and mind. On a spiritual level, Kundalini yoga aims to elevate consciousness and foster a sense of profound inner peace and fulfillment. Image by Syda Productions / Adobestock Overall, Kundalini yoga offers a holistic approach to wellness, combining physical, mental, and spiritual practices to unlock one’s full potential and achieve a deeper sense of harmony and enlightenment.

Whether you’re hitting the downtown scene in Wynwood or sprawling out on the sandy white shores of South Beach, you need a look that slays - you know, to keep up with the theme of fashion and beauty that encompasses the Miami scene. Image by Volodymyr Shcerbak / Adobestock And while you may have picked out your collection of Instagram-worthy #vacationoutfits for your upcoming Miami debut, if you’ve chucked your hair to the wayside without a second thought, you’re in for a major disappointment. Don’t think you need to run off to the salon for an entirely new look though, queen. What is your secret weapon for your upcoming vacay? Hair extensions. Hair extensions will immediately transform your hair from “basic” to “glamazon,” ensuring you can create the ultimate Miami look. Which extensions are right for your Miami lifestyle, though? This article breaks down everything you need to know about choosing extensions in Miami, Florida - whether you’re staying for the weekend or have made the bustling and beautiful Miami your permanent destination. Top Four Things to Consider When Choosing Extensions in Miami There are a few different types of hair extensions that will work well in Miami, Florida. However, to help you make the choice that’s right for you, we’re highlighting the top four things you need to consider before purchasing: Weather One of the draws to Miami, Florida, is the sensational weather. But while the humidity and heat may be great for poolside adventures - even in winter - it’s not great for hair. You need to be extra careful when choosing extensions. Some may be more prone to damage and wear from the weather of Miami! Activities Plenty of Miami residents and vacationers take to the beaches and pools to escape the heat, which always equates to a good time! Yet, like the weather, salt water and chlorinated water can impact hair. The same applies to ladies who consider themselves active outside of the water. Sweat can damage specific hair extensions, making them unsuitable for these women. Hair Type Another thing you absolutely must consider when choosing hair extensions? Your hair type, of course! This one’s pretty basic: always purchase extensions that closely match your hair’s natural texture and color. While you can customize the majority of hair extensions to get your “perfect match,” this can be time-consuming and hassling. Wouldn’t you instead buy hair extensions you can wear from the get-go without any customizing necessary? Let’s save our energy, girls! Budget Finally, consider your budget. Now, I will never tell you to go cheap on hair extensions - especially in Miami. But I completely understand if you need to choose a less expensive option to suit your needs. My biggest tip? Don’t break the bank! You can find high-quality hair extensions that fit your budget. You just may need to go for a different type or length. Image by 6okean / Adobestock Top Four Hair Extension Options for a Miami Lifestyle Now, with all these things in mind, it’s time to unveil the top extension choices for a Miami lifestyle. Which one will end up in your shopping cart? 1. Tape-in Hair Extensions You might be surprised to see tape-in hair extensions on this list. After all, one might think tape is still being prepared to handle the humidity, heat, and other factors typical of Miami. But they’re surprisingly durable! Tape-in hair extensions have the significant perk of being very lightweight, so you won’t feel bogged down or heavy when traipsing under the Miami sun. They’re also safe for other activities, like swimming or sunbathing, and can be pulled back into a ponytail for workout sessions and other strenuous activities. These undetectable hair extensions can be installed at home or by a professional. With proper maintenance, they can easily last up to eight weeks. 2. Sew-in Hair Extensions Another excellent option for Miami-goers? Sew-in hair extensions! Because these extensions are directly sewn into your hair, they won’t come loose for quite some time - ensuring you can enjoy the Miami scene without worrying about clips, tapes, or other hassles. The downside to sew-in hair extensions is that they need to be installed by a professional. Improper installation can and will damage your natural tresses, and that’s definitely something you want to avoid! 3. Micro-Link Hair Extensions Micro-link hair extensions are one of the best options for a Miami lifestyle. They’re applied without tape, glue, or other products that could potentially be impacted by humidity, heat, and other factors. Micro-links are installed using small beads that attach to your natural tresses, ensuring they are virtually undetectable. You can wear them anywhere - the beach, the pool, the gym, the nightclub - without a second thought. Like sew-ins, micro-links must also be installed by a professional. They can be pretty expensive, but the good news is that they can be reused several times if properly cared for, cutting down on some of the cost. 4. Clip-in Hair Extensions Clip-in hair extensions are the least expensive option on this list. That’s because they’re not semi-permanent. They are 100% temporary, meaning they’ll need to be installed and taken out daily. Luckily, they’re not difficult to apply and shouldn’t take you longer than 10 to 20 minutes! The other drawback to clip-in hair extensions is that they’re unsuitable for swimming, exercise, or other activities. In a nutshell, clip-ins are geared to make you look like a million bucks - and that’s it. Synthetic VS. Human Hair At this point, you probably know what type of hair extensions you will buy - tape-in, sew-in, micro-link, or clip-ins.  But we need to discuss one very important issue: synthetic vs. human hair. Now, you might reach for synthetic hair extensions because they’re less expensive. Plus, technology has changed a lot in recent years, and synthetic is lookin’ pretty darn real. However, synthetic is not going to stand up to the rigors of the Miami, Florida climate. They’ll get frizzy and tangle very quickly, leaving you with sub-par extensions you won’t want to wear in public. That said, always buy real human hair extensions! They can handle the Miami weather and activities much better, leaving you with flawless tresses from start to end. Image by Pixel - Shot / Adobestock Maintenance: Your Key to Unlocking Beautiful Miami Extensions Regardless of the kind of hair extensions you wear, one thing remains true: proper maintenance is essential to the longevity, well-being, and beauty of your extensions, especially in Miami. Here are a few of my top tips: Use anti-frizz products: This probably goes without saying, but applying a good anti-frizz product to your extensions (and the rest of your hair) is an excellent way to fend off issues caused by the humidity. Moisturize regularly: Extensions are prone to drying out, especially in Miami weather. Deep, leave-in conditioners are your extensions best friend forever! Use heat protectant: You should use this product before using hot tools or spending a day in the Miami sun! Rinse after swimming: Whether you’re taking a dip in the pool or the ocean, a quick rinse to remove all of the residue is essential when you’re done! Wash regularly: Washing your extensions at least once or twice a week is good practice. Ensure you’re using an extension-safe shampoo, and don’t forget your conditioner! Brush daily: Use a wide-tooth comb or an extension brush to remove tangles, knots, and mats. I recommend brushing/combing at least three times a day or whenever your hair needs it. Protect at night: When you're sleeping, opt for a silk/satin bonnet or pillowcase. Protective styles, like braids, are also ideal for warding off tangles and knots. Avoid heavy products: Overly heavy products will not only weigh down your extensions and make them appear greasy and gross, but the extra heaviness will be uncomfortable. What are the best hair extensions for an active lifestyle? Girls in Miami with a very active lifestyle should choose micro-link hair extensions! What are the best hair extensions for thin hair? What are the best hair extensions for thin-haired babes in Miami? Again, it’s micro-link hair extensions to the rescue! What is the most natural looking hair extension method? Several hair extension methods offer natural finishes. However, the two that offer the most natural finish are a toss-up between micro-links and tape-ins. Flawless Hair in Miami Begins with the Right Extensions To have everyone drooling over your hair in Miami, it all starts with the right hair extensions. Tape-ins, sew-ins, micro-links, and clip-ins are the top four contenders. Just make sure you’re purchasing natural human hair matching your texture and color. Properly maintain your extensions to keep them in tip-top shape, even when faced with the Miami climate! By ML Staff. Images courtesy of Adobestock

Throughout its history, Jaeger-LeCoultre has been distinguished by its mastery of complications and, for almost a century, this has included timepieces able to display multiple time zones simultaneously. Calibre 948 is a uniquely artistic expression of universal time, combining a world time display with a flying tourbillon that makes a complete circuit of the dial in 24 hours – an allusion to Earth’s rotation on its axis and its orbit around the Sun. In 2024, La Grande Maison presents a new interpretation of the Master Grande Tradition Calibre 948, with a green enamel dial that celebrates the colours of nature and showcases the skills of the Manufacture’s in-house Métiers Rares™ atelier. Set in an 18-carat (750/1000) pink gold case, it is offered in a limited edition of 20 pieces. The precision of the world’s time zones As with all measurements of time, the origin of our world’s time zones lies in astronomy: the passage of our 24-hour day is determined by the rotation of Earth on its own axis. However, zones are a relatively recent concept, driven by the need to impose order and precision on international timing. Until the 19th Century, every city determined its own time, based on 12 noon being the time that the sun was at the highest point in the sky. As railway travel developed in the 19th century, this made scheduling impossible and it became clear that standardised timing – the synchronisation of clocks within a given geographical region – and global norms were needed. At the International Meridian Conference in 1884, it was decided that Greenwich Observatory in London (longitude 0°) would be the basis for calculating times around the globe and each of the 24 major time zones would be defined by 15 degrees of longitude. The world’s day would start and end at midnight at the Greenwich meridian and times would be counted east and west from there – hence the terms Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), ante meridian (am) and post meridian (pm). The Métiers Rares™ atelier: mastery of ancestral crafts To create the complex and richly coloured dial of the Master Grande Tradition Calibre 948, the master artisans of Jaeger-LeCoultre’s Métiers Rares™ atelier united the skills of enamelling, guillochage and lacquering. To complete a single example of the dial requires a total of more than 70 hours of meticulous work. Champlevé – which translates literally as ‘raised field’ – is a noble and ancient enamelling technique that originated almost 2,500 years ago. With great skill, the artisan must first carve out depressions in the surface of the precious metal, conforming precisely to the outline of the desired image. These hollow areas are then filled with multiple layers of enamel – fired at very high temperatures after each layer – until they are flush with the original surface. Adding refinement and intrigue, the enameller uses a combination of opaque and translucent enamels to create areas of lighter and darker colour that suggest the continents’ different landscapes. The Calibre 948 dial required 10 layers of enamel and represents more than 20 hours of work for the enamelling alone. Lacquering is a lengthy and exacting artisanal process that requires the manual application of multiple layers of coating on the surface to be decorated. It begins with a clear coat of varnish, followed by a layer of colour. This is followed by up to 15 coats of translucent lacquer, to add depth and richness – with each coat requiring a precisely controlled drying process. The lacquering is completed by polishing the disc to a perfect finish that attracts the light and amplifies the richness of the color. A world of time expressed through artistry of rare precision Measuring just 25.5mm in diameter, the multi-layered dial of the Master Grande Tradition Calibre 948 is a remarkable work of art in miniature. In keeping with world-timer tradition, the centre of the dial is dominated by a map of the world as seen from the North Pole. The outline of the continents is cut from a fine plate of 18ct gold and decorated with champlevé enamel. However, unlike the traditional flattened image, this map floats above the main dial plate on a domed skeleton of pink gold formed by the longitudes and latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere. A masterpiece of laser-cutting precision, this complex and delicate domed structure brings lightness and depth to the dial and makes a subtle allusion to the depth and complexity of time measurement. Beneath the dome, representing the oceans, the dial plate is decorated with blue-green translucent lacquer applied over a wavy guilloché pattern that suggests the movement of the sea. As on all classical world timers, each time zone is represented by the name of a city, set on a green opaline ring around the central dial. Set outside the city ring are two concentric fixed rings. The inner ring indicates 24 hours, which are marked with applied rectangular indexes and laser-engraved numerals. The outer ring features the minute track, which is a laser-engraved on a background of dark green lacquer that complements the colour of the map and oceans. In a circular aperture to one side of the map, the flying tourbillon appears to float weightlessly above the oceans, spinning in 60 seconds. As the tourbillon makes a complete 360-degree revolution of the dial in 24 hours, the domed map and the city ring turn in unison, mimicking the rotation of Earth on its axis. Thus the right time in every city is always indicated by the hour marked on the city ring adjacent to the city name. An elegant case for an exceptional calibre When Jaeger-LeCoultre created Calibre 948, it was the first time that a world-time complication had ever been united with a flying tourbillon. Moreover, the Universal Tourbillon – patented by Jaeger-LeCoultre – makes a complete circuit of the dial every 24 hours, corresponding to the length of a mean solar day. Consisting of 388 components, the automatic movement is an eloquent expression of Jaeger-LeCoultre’s technical expertise, having been conceived, developed and entirely produced within the Manufacture. Despite its complexity, Calibre 948 has been designed to ensure that the watch is very simple to operate: the time is set with the crown, which synchronises all of the time zones around the world. On arrival at a new destination, local time is set by the same crown, which moves only the hour hand, in one-hour jumps forwards or backwards, allowing the minutes and seconds to continue running accurately. With its pure lines and refined proportions, the Master Grande Tradition case is a perfect foil for the complexity of the dial. Comprising more than 40 parts, its convex bezel contrasts with broad bevels on the lugs, and the hollowed-out lug sides add dynamic tension. Different surfaces are microblasted, polished and satin-brushed to maximise the play of light. The warmth of the pink gold is complemented by a dark green alligator strap that matches the dial. With its magnificent green dial, the new interpretation of the Master Grande Tradition Calibre 948 is testament to Jaeger-LeCoultre’s commitment to uniting artistic creativity and sophisticated mechanics, always maintaining the fine balance between the spirit of innovation and a profound respect for tradition.

This recommendation comes from Miami Homes For All, Youth Dementration Housing Project and The Homeless Trust, following a comprehensive review process led by a committee appointed by Mayor Daniella Levine Cava. Out of 11 proposals submitted, six projects were selected for funding, with Pridelines being one of them. Recently, the Executive Committee of The Homeless Trust cast their final vote on this recommendation. This funding will significantly bolster our efforts to provide a safe, supportive, and stable living environment for LGBTQIA+ youth facing housing insecurity in Miami. The $2.4 million recommendation is part of a larger grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), aimed at addressing housing needs and homelessness. With this HUD grant, Pridelines plans to develop comprehensive housing solutions that include not only safe living spaces but also essential support services. These services will encompass mental health counseling, educational resources, and job training programs, ensuring that LGBTQIA+ youth have the tools they need to build a brighter future. Pridelines has been on the frontlines of local homelessness support for well over four decades. Founded in 1982, Pridelines and its youth leaders provided informal shelter and housing support to Miami's LGBTQIA+ community, especially young people cast aside by their disapproving families because of their queer identity, expression, and orientation. They were often forcibly removed from their homes due to anti-LGBT local ordinances allowing property owners to evict queer people from their residences in Miami-Dade County. Over the past 14 years, Pridelines has assisted thousands of individuals at risk and in need through the agency's Project SAFE program – Safe Accommodations For Everyone. Since 2010, Pridelines Project SAFE has operated comprehensive drop-in and wrap-around service and resource centers at all agency locations, providing immediate and emergency support to LGBTQIA+ youth and community members navigating housing insecurity or experiencing homelessness. Pridelines has accrued remarkable experience, strengthening our institutional knowledge, skill, and expertise in delivering robust homelessness support and culturally and linguistically competent care. Project SAFE's suite of programming includes holistic mind, body, and spirit evidence-based approaches, individualized case management, systems navigation, comprehensive HIV/STI screening, counseling, treatment and care, mental health counseling and therapy, personal and professional development, and creating safe, inclusive and affirming spaces for Miami and South Florida's LGBTQIA+ youth and community. This historical precedent and reputation for excellence in competent, high-quality service delivery, coupled with Project SAFE's innovative programming, made our proposal particularly appealing to MHFA, MDCHT, and the YHDP Committee. Pridelines is known for our hyper-localized public health interventions, leveraging strong community bonds built through decades of relationship cultivation with community members, stakeholders, influencers, activists, and advocates. We prioritize active listening, transparency, accountability, and trust. Alongside our informed, activated, and passionate local community, Pridelines has aided those who are under-resourced, in need, at risk, and living life at the margins — from efforts focused on ending Miami's longstanding HIV/AIDS epidemic to developing holistic and sustainable solutions to youth housing insecurity and homelessness. HUD and MDCHT's YHDP Initiative and grant will support the establishment of Pridelines' Project SAFE House at Rainbow Road – Miami's first and only LGBTQIA+ specific Transitional and Permanent Rapid Rehousing program and facility for queer youth navigating housing insecurity or experiencing homelessness. Set to open in the Fall of this year, the Rainbow Road facility will house up to 26 young people and provide holistic supportive programs, services, and resources, such as personalized and comprehensive case management, public social welfare system navigation, mental health counseling and therapy, clinical services, personal and professional development, and a suite of special, large group activities and events. These are designed to uplift and cultivate community, reinforce peer support, and strengthen the next generation of LGBTQIA+ local change agents and community development activists and advocates. Significant efforts are currently underway to secure a newly-renovated, 22-unit building in Miami's Wynwood neighborhood. The Program's name – Pridelines' Project SAFE House at Rainbow Road – is inspired by the final level before victory in the popular racing video game, Nintendo's Super Mario Kart, called Rainbow Road. Rainbow Road features a rainbow-colored racing course suspended in space and is one of the most iconic visuals in video gaming history. For years, Super Mario Kart's Rainbow Road has been a favorite of Pridelines' Project SAFE youth seeking escape and reprieve from trauma and challenges. By ML Staff. Image Courtesy of Pridelines
