  43. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>
  44. <p>Welcome everyone and thank you for joining us today. It’s an honour to chair the UK’s Competition and Markets Authority as we reach 10 years in action. It’s a major milestone in the lifetime of any organisation – particularly when we consider how much has changed in the UK, and around the world, over the last decade.</p>
  45. <p>I believe we should use milestone moments like this to look forward. So, with that in mind, on the CMA’s 10 year anniversary, the question I want to ask today is this: why is an independent, impartial CMA needed more than ever today and in the future?</p>
  46. <p>And to discover the answer, I’d like to take the vantage point of: what are the opportunities the CMA exists to create and the problems we exist to solve? And I’m going to look across 3 timeframes: the past, the present, and the future. What were the big issues we tackled in the past? How have they changed today? And what are they going to be in the future?</p>
  47. <h2 id="context-setting">Context setting</h2>
  48. <p>The CMA was formed through a merger of the Office of Fair Trading and the Competition Commission. But the goal was not simply an administrative one to improve efficiency. It was to create a single organisation with the resources, capabilities and mandate to effectively enforce the spirit and the letter of the competition and consumer protection laws that had been enacted by Parliament.</p>
  49. <p>And what was Parliament’s intent? I think it comes down to a clear understanding that if you want a vibrant economy, if you want a thriving society – and if you want both of these to be resilient to external shocks – well then you need choice, you need innovation, you need investment. And that means you need competition.</p>
  50. <p>The single most effective lever, indeed, the prerequisite for driving innovation, productivity and investment, is to have free, open, effective competition in our markets. And this is inherently understood by every one of us. In life, as in business, we instinctively favour choice over constraint. Diversity over uniformity. Quality and value over rip-offs. Where we encounter barriers, we instinctively seek to overturn them. Faced with old, inefficient ways of doing things ‘just because’, we have always, in a multitude of creative and determined ways, pushed for advancement. And, where we see that some are not playing by the rules, where we see vested interests imposing their will – in those situations we know that it’s not right, and we do something about it.</p>
  51. <p>And of course, Parliament also understood that, while fair, open, competitive markets are clearly in everyone’s interests, well, competing day in  day out is really hard work. So hard, that there will be a temptation, for those who have amassed market power, to take unfair advantage, to take shortcuts. Shortcuts to do away with competition. To lock out rivals and future challengers. To lock up a market. Competing day in day out is really hard, yes. But that’s why it works. Because it forces us to deliver and to improve. And so we move forward, always.</p>
  52. <p>This is the core of the fair, open and effective competition the CMA was established to protect, to foster, and of the consumer protections it was established to safeguard. Markets, where the best products and services win out on their merits. Where fair-dealing businesses can innovate and grow on a level-playing field.</p>
  53. <p>And policymakers across the political spectrum understand that the investment, innovation, productivity, and growth which flow from this fair, open, effective competition are the bedrock of a thriving economy in which everyone has an opportunity to prosper.</p>
  54. <p>With that in mind, what are the biggest issues, shortcuts and opportunities that the CMA has been tackling over the last 10 years?</p>
  55. <p>Broadly speaking, I think these fall into 4 big categories:</p>
  56. <p>First, the consolidation of market power through horizontal mergers. Situations where 2 already major players competing for customers and market share decide to try to combine their businesses. Sainsbury and Asda; viagogo and StubHub; JD Sports and Footasylum. And the common factor in these cases, usually, is that the CMA’s independent panel determines that the planned consolidation causes a substantial lessening of competition, resulting in the negative outcomes I described earlier.</p>
  57. <p>Second, anti-competitive behaviour. Effectively, subverting the proper working of fair, open and effective competition. Like using a dominant market position to inflate the price of life-saving NHS medicines by tens of millions of pounds. Or colluding to fix the price of football shirts, robbing fans of a fair deal. These practices are not only exploitative; they stunt the benefits of competition. They are economic sabotage.</p>
  58. <p>Third, opening up markets to create that enormously powerful competitive tension, that ‘feet to the fire’ dynamism, which I saw first-hand again and again in my 30 years working with businesses of all shapes and sizes. Open banking is a terrific example, but by no means the only one. Opening up electric vehicle charging infrastructure to healthy competition. Recommendations being taken forward by government to overhaul regulation of heat networks . There are many such cases, and each have their own story to tell in terms of enabling more innovation, more choice, more investment, downward pressure on prices, and ultimately contributing to more growth across the wider economy.</p>
  59. <p>And finally, shielding consumers from harm by enforcing against breaches of consumer protection law. This is another core pillar of our work, and our action here has been, and remains, incredibly wide-ranging. From care homes, package travel and events ticket sales; to online marketplaces and the claims companies make about the sustainability of their products, to name just a few. Consumers not only deserve to be treated fairly, but their confidence to engage in markets is a key ingredient of the growth we all wish to see. That’s also why you’ve seen us run national campaigns, like Online Rip-Off Tip-Off, to make sure people know their rights and how to protect themselves.</p>
  60. <p>So, these have been the fundamental opportunities that the CMA has been enabling, the fundamental challenges that we have been tackling. And they continue to keep us busy.</p>
  61. <p>But the big issues the CMA is tackling today have also shifted in 3 ways. This reflects the macro-economic forces underway that will shape our economy and society for years to come &#8211; in particular, heightened economic and geo-political volatility, the continuous, accelerating technology revolution, and a destabilising climate.</p>
  62. <p>With the CMA coming under new leadership in 2022, we thought hard about how we should anticipate these forces, and adapt what we do and how we do it, to make sure we can continue to drive the positive outcomes we all wish to see for this country. And so at the start of 2023, we set out a new long-term strategy.</p>
  63. <p>Our strategy has a clear purpose: to help people, businesses and the UK economy by promoting competitive markets and tackling unfair behaviour. We set 3 ambitions, with tangible outcomes we’re committed to help deliver over the medium and long-term. Those ambitions help us prioritise and focus our actions on the areas that really matter for people and business in the UK, and where the CMA can have the most positive impact in line with the duties given to us by Parliament.</p>
  64. <p>So, what are the 3 ambitions, and how are they driving the CMA’s focus today?</p>
  65. <h3 id="first-to-ensure-people-can-be-confident-they-are-getting-great-choices-and-fair-deals-">First, to ensure people can be confident they are getting great choices and fair deals   </h3>
  66. <p>In today’s times of economic hardship, that means you see us focusing on areas of essential spend: having somewhere to live, feeding and caring for ourselves and our families, being able to travel and get around, buying the things we need online. Making recommendations for government on bringing down some of the barriers to getting more homes built and making those homes more affordable. Stepping in to drive more transparency and choice in petrol and in the groceries we buy every day. Investigating the markets for funeral care and vet services – areas close to our hearts, where we may be particularly vulnerable to exploitation.</p>
  67. <p>Alongside these, we’ve also seen a shift toward tackling ever more sophisticated, often technology-enabled, methods used by unscrupulous actors to mislead or exploit when we buy goods and services online. Dark patterns in online choice architecture, misleading or pressurising online sales tactics, fake reviews, drip pricing. It is challenging to stem the proliferation of these sorts of harms, but we are constantly alert and active here today.</p>
  68. <h3 id="our-second-ambition-is-for-competitive-fair-dealing-businesses-to-be-free-to-innovate-and-thrive">Our second ambition is for competitive, fair-dealing businesses to be free to innovate and thrive</h3>
  69. <p>You will not be surprised that the biggest shift here has been the way we approach digital markets. We know and understand a great deal now, which was not clear a decade ago, about the unique features of digital markets from a competition and consumer protection perspective. Massive fixed costs and near zero distribution costs. Unprecedented network effects, at a global scale, thanks to the universality of the customer proposition. Leading to extremely high scalability and platform dependencies; and resulting winner-take-most dynamics. The critical strategic advantages of data and computing power &#8211; particularly where these make it possible for a position of power in one market, or economic activity, to be leveraged into multiple others. And, of course, the searing pace of technology development and adoption, so that harms to competition and to consumers can quickly spread, becoming locked in or endemic.</p>
  70. <p>So, how are we tackling this today?</p>
  71. <p>We’ve built up a great deal of expertise, around both the technologies and the business models they underpin. And we’ve learned valuable lessons, about what sorts of harms can result from all of this and how we can tackle them effectively. And so, to the extent possible, we have been using our existing tools to apply those lessons.</p>
  72. <p>For example, securing binding commitments from Amazon and Meta to ensure fair competition on online retail platforms, giving independent sellers a fair chance to compete on their platforms. Looking into mobile ecosystems and digital advertising to identify potential solutions to protect choice and offer a fair deal for consumers and business customers alike.</p>
  73. <p>And taking a conscious decision, transparently signalled over several years, to adapt our approach to digital and technology mergers to the distinct characteristics of digital markets. Merger control has always been forward-looking; but the rapid pace and curve-jumping nature of innovation in digital markets mean that the forward-looking picture is much more dynamic here.</p>
  74. <p>We also need to take account of distinct bases for competition in these markets, which means considering, for example, the power of data across activities, as well as ecosystem theories of harm. And, of course, the fact that consolidation of market power can occur not just horizontally – in cases like Adobe/Figma – but up and down the value chain, with the potential to lock up critical inputs, or lock in access to customers, or even both, in an existing or emerging ecosystem. We saw this with the attempted integration of Nvidia/Arm and with the cloud gaming parts of Microsoft/Activision, for example.</p>
  75. <h3 id="our-third-ambition-is-to-help-the-whole-uk-economy-grow-productively-and-sustainably">Our third ambition is to help the whole UK economy grow productively and sustainably</h3>
  76. <p>To a large extent, if we execute our first 2 ambitions well – if we enable choice and a fair deal for people, and if we foster open, effective competition for businesses – then that takes us a long way toward the ongoing innovation and productivity and growth we all wish to see.</p>
  77. <p>We also know the dividends can be even greater if we prioritise markets of strategic significance. Emerging or developing sectors with particular potential to drive broad-based innovation and productivity, like digital. And because a strong economy must be resistant to shocks, we’ve also looked at the drivers of market resilience, and the role we can play in preventing supply disruption.</p>
  78. <p>Finally, this growth needs to be sustainable – and becoming competitively advantaged in the climate technology of the future will in turn help accelerate the country’s growth. So we’ve been playing our part in helping the UK reach its Net Zero ambitions through tackling greenwashing and enabling the markets for new technologies to develop competitively.</p>
  79. <p>So that’s the focus today. Now, when I look ahead, I see the issues shifting again.  </p>
  80. <p>I want to talk particularly about one critical shift, again caused by the emergence of new, disruptive technologies. I’m talking, of course, about AI. And let me just emphasise the tremendous potential benefits I believe AI can bring for business, for people, for our economy.  </p>
  81. <p>But the shift, the discontinuity, that I’d like to focus on is not the technology itself. Rather it is the fact that, unlike previous waves of technological innovation, the new disruptive technologies are not disrupting the established market power of established incumbents. Instead, they could be entrenching this power further.</p>
  82. <p>To date, a diverse ecosystem of researchers, startups, investors and large players have combined a wealth of resources, expertise and capability to accelerate advances in AI models and their practical applications. But the true potential and value creation of these advances will only be realised – and shared widely in society – if conditions of fair, open and effective competition are sustained in the future.</p>
  83. <p>And there lies the issue. As highlighted in our second report on AI foundation models that came out last week, we see 3 key interlinked risks to fair, open and effective competition.</p>
  84. <p>First, that a handful of incumbent corporations, which already hold positions of market power in today’s most important digital markets, start to control the critical resources required to develop AI models going forward – most importantly computing power, data and talent. Our report explained that firms controlling these critical inputs may restrict access to them to shield themselves from competition in the development of AI foundation models.</p>
  85. <p>Second, a risk that those same corporations could start to control how consumers and businesses can practically access and deploy these models in their daily life and work, through control of key routes to market, like mobile ecosystems, apps and platforms. These pre-existing positions could be exploited to restrict choice for customers, and to limit competition in the development and deployment of these models.</p>
  86. <p>Third, the CMA has identified an interconnected web of over 90 partnerships and strategic investments across foundation model capabilities involving those same few corporations. Through investments, licensing, partnerships and other arrangements, the most successful and promising innovators are being drawn into the ecosystems of the established players. And this could exacerbate their market power across the value chain.</p>
  87. <p>As a result, market power risks concentrating ever further, faster, around a handful of corporations, across an ever broader sphere of economic activity. When does such market power become entrenched, irreversible? And where will that lead? History suggests that when this happens, economic freedoms suffer – freedom for customers to choose what’s best for them, freedom for fair-dealing businesses to access customers, freedom for challengers to innovate and invest. And, in the long run, freedom for economies to grow and democracies to thrive.</p>
  88. <p>So what actions is the CMA is taking today to mitigate these risks, and what further actions can we anticipate?</p>
  89. <p>I will touch on 3.</p>
  90. <p>First, we have established principles we expect firms developing and deploying models to have regard to:</p>
  91. <ul>
  92. <li>access to key inputs</li>
  93. <li>diversity of models and model types</li>
  94. <li>choice for business and consumers in which models they deploy and how</li>
  95. <li>fair dealing, by which we mean no anti-competitive bundling, tying or self-preferencing</li>
  96. <li>transparency for consumers and businesses about the risks and limitations of models</li>
  97. <li>accountability of developers and deployers for the outputs of models</li>
  98. </ul>
  99. <p>We believe these are fundamental to sustaining vibrant innovation and guiding markets toward positive outcomes.</p>
  100. <p>Second, we’re carefully considering how to apply the full range of legal powers we have today most effectively. For example, in the CMA’s cloud market investigation, the independent panel carrying out the inquiry is including an assessment of the potential impact of foundation models on the provision of cloud services. We’re also keeping a very close watch on current and emerging AI partnerships, and last week announced we will be stepping up our merger review activities; we’re already reviewing Microsoft’s partnership with OpenAI.</p>
  101. <p>Third, although competition is the best form of regulation to drive positive market outcomes, it only works where there really is genuine competition. In situations where market power has become substantial and entrenched, where effective competition is lacking, we need targeted and proportionate regulation to do the job that competition is not around to do for us. It is for that reason that the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers (DMCC) Bill is passing through Parliament. This will give the CMA new powers to safeguard and promote competition in digital markets more effectively. We haven’t yet taken any provisional decisions on which digital activities to tackle first, but our update last week did make clear that we will evaluate developments around AI foundation models as part of our prioritisation.</p>
  102. <p>Across all of these activities – reflecting the collaborative approach that underpins the operation of the new digital markets regime – we are encouraging the incumbent firms to work with us, to help us shape these markets towards the positive outcomes that will benefit participants and users alike.</p>
  103. <h2 id="conclusion">Conclusion</h2>
  104. <p>I want to close by saying that I think we are living through a pivotal period in economic history. Where global forces – macro-economic, technological, environmental – could bring us closer together on a path to unprecedented progress; or could drive us further apart. Where technology that has the promise to fundamentally reshape our economies, and by extension our lives, has reached a tipping point. And, underpinning this, where the balance of power between people, their elected governments, and corporations could shift in ways which will define how we live, work and advance for generations to come. I believe these are challenges we can and will rise to meet, and protecting competition and tackling unfair behaviour have a critical role to play in helping us do so.</p>
  105. <p>I am hugely privileged to be here with Sarah, with our Board, and everyone else at the CMA, in this room, with you – our partners and stakeholders – to commit to playing that part.</p>

  129. <p>They killed Pan’s mother, Bich Ha Pan, and shot her father, Huei Hann Pan, in the head and shoulder before fleeing the scene. </p>
  130. <p>It was intended to look like a robbery gone wrong, but as investigators delved into the crime, there were a few unusual details that raised their suspicions, and police began to wonder if Jennifer knew more than originally believed.</p>
  131. <p>With the new documentary, which comes to our screens courtesy of American Murder: The Family Next Door director Jenny Popplewell, now available to watch on Netflix, read on for everything you need to know about the case.</p>

  134. <h2 id="what-did-jennifer-pan-do-crimes-explained-15737a6c"><strong>What did Jennifer Pan do? Crimes explained</strong></h2>
  135. <p>For years, Jennifer Pan had lied to her parents that she had been attending university, studying to be a pharmacist, even going as far as to forge a diploma.</p>
  136. <p>During the time she spent lying to her parents, Pan worked as a waitress and began dating a high school friend, Daniel Wong, who her parents disapproved of and forbade her from seeing when they found out the truth.</p>
  137. <p>Pan was accused of organising a plot to murder her parents with the help of Wong. It was alleged that in 2010, David Mylvaganam, Lenford Crawford and Eric Carty were hired as hitmen and shot and killed Pan&#8217;s mother, Bich Ha and wounded her father, Huei Hann.</p>
  138. <p>Pan&#8217;s father was in a coma which meant she was the eyewitness to the murder, but that changed when her father came out of a coma and told the public his daughter was familiar with those who broke into their home.</p>
  139. <p>Pan admitted during her trial that she had previously tried to have her father murdered, but claimed she abandoned that plan and insisted the eventual attack was a home invasion committed by men she didn&#8217;t recognise.</p>

  145. <p>In 2015, <strong>Jennifer Pan was sentenced to life in prison </strong>after she was found guilty of both first-degree murder and attempted murder, with the possibility of parole after 25 years.</p>
  146. <p>Daniel Wong, David Mylvaganam, and Lenford Crawford also received a life sentence with the same possibility of parole. Eric Carty&#8217;s case was a mistrial but the following year, he was sentenced to 18 years after pleading guilty to conspiring to commit murder. He died in prison in 2018.</p>
  147. <p>As per Netflix, Pan is currently still in prison and maintains her innocence. In 2023, the Court of Appeal for Ontario overturned the first-degree murder conviction for Pan, Wong, Mylvaganam and Crawford.</p>
  148. <p>At the time of writing, the Supreme Court of Canada is in the process of determining if it will review the case.</p>

  192. <p> <strong><em>Looking for Sister Wife</em></strong>    alum Garrick Merrifield has proven himself to be a power-seeker who pursues polygamy on TV for the wrong reasons.  Garrick has been with Dannielle Merrifield for 15 years, and for the first 11 years they were married and monogamous. <em>Looking for Sister Wife</em> Viewers met Dannielle and Garrick in the third season of the TLC series when they were dating a Brazilian woman named Roberta. <strong>Dannielle and Garrick are religious polygamists</strong> and believe that God has called them to seek this way of life. </p>

  194. <p>    Dannielle and Garrick officially separated so that Garrick could propose to Roberta and bring her to America on a K-1 visa.  When they met Roberta, they briefly dated potential sister-wife Lea, which upset Roberta, who was reluctant to expand so soon.  Dannielle and Garrick were shocked at the end of Seeking Sister Wife Season 4 when Roberta decided not to come to America after Garrick sent her a large sum of <a href="https://wise.prf.hn/click/camref:1100l3y987" target="_blank" rel="noopener">money</a>.  In Season 5, Garrick and Dannielle have been dating a 25-year-old Brazilian woman named Nathalia, whom viewers saw Garrick propose to. </p>

  219. <p>    Garrick seems to be continuing his polygamous lifestyle on TV in the background.  Instead of focusing solely on his and Dannielle&#8217;s pursuit of a sister wife, Garrick manages to do a lot of self-promotion.  Beuna Vista, Colorado owns Merrifield Custom Builders and handles all types of custom home projects.  In the show, <strong>Garrick and Dannielle have built their dream home</strong>and have tried to mention that Garrick is the one designing and building the property. </p>

  240. <p>    Although Garrick claims that his drive towards polygamy is what God wants from him, it is clear <strong>Garrick believes he is a woman.</strong> Garrick loves to pose between Dannielle and her dating partners as if introducing them in a smug way.  Garrick is also hell-bent on having five sister-wives and never stops to consider the feelings of whoever he&#8217;s with at the moment.  Garrick wears glasses and seems motivated by self-serving principles rather than the religious pillar he speaks of. </p>

  242. <p>    It seems that Garrick enjoys the attention he gets from polygamy and the attractive women who want to be in his life.  If he cared about the process and taking care of his wives, he would have seen how many times he has hurt Dannielle and her potential sister wives by being relentless about adding wives. <strong>Garrick is driven to collect wives and show them on television</strong> and he&#8217;s less interested in putting in the time and effort to make sure each of his partners is emotionally taken care of. </p>

  249. <p>    If Garrick was trying to be genuine in his search for wives for a happy polygamous lifestyle, he would choose more compatible matches.  Roberta spoke no English and relied on Garrick for money.  Although Nathalia doesn&#8217;t seem interested in Garrick&#8217;s money yet, she may still have motivation to come to America. <strong>Garrick does not give time to his relationship with Natahalia</strong>, so he might miss a lot about his intentions.  Also, he chooses someone who doesn&#8217;t speak English. </p>

  253. <p>    Garrick was caught lying down <em>Looking for Sister Wife</em> season 5 when Nathalia saw a dating app notification on Garrick&#8217;s phone that proved it <strong>he was still active on the app.</strong> Nathalia thought she had quit dating apps when she started a relationship with him and Garrick played dumb like he didn&#8217;t know he was still visible (via <em>TLC</em>.) Furthermore, he told Nathalia that he was going to delete the app completely, upsetting Dannielle, who had asked Garrick to do so months earlier.  Garrick seemed consciously aware that he was still visible on dating apps, meaning his motives had been murky. </p>

  274. <p>    Garrick shamelessly promotes his business and jewelry designs on the show, distracting from the point of his and Dannielle&#8217;s story. <strong>Garrick also picks bad matches</strong> and seems to focus more on his image of multiple wives instead of focusing on family and the emotional element.  Garrick doesn&#8217;t seem to be on <em><strong>Looking for Sister Wife</strong></em>    for the right reasons and may just be chasing clout and recognition. </p>

  335. <p><strong>From booking flights to creating itineraries, AI (artificial intelligence) is already changing the face of the work trip, says Jenny Southan </strong></p>
  336. <p>Towards the end of last year, I spoke at the Dubai Future Forum, an annual gathering of “futurists” from around the world who assembled at the emirate’s space-age Museum of the Future. As you might imagine, there was much discussion around the development and applications of artificial intelligence, as well as potential doomsday scenarios. </p>
  337. <p>Experts spoke about things like the emergence of the “non-creative creative class – augmented by AI”; and how philosophers are now working with AI technology companies to devise fair, transparent, inclusive and controllable algorithms. During a coffee break, I interacted with an uncanny humanoid robot who displayed highly convincing expressions and gestures, and it made me wonder how long it would be until we all employ AI personal assistants?</p>
  338. <p>Today’s much-talked about iteration of artificial intelligence is Generative AI, which comes in the form of machine learning systems such as ChatGPT and image generators like Midjourney, but the difference between the capabilities we have right now and what could come next are huge. Some believe that the contrast between Generative AI and tomorrow’s (theoretical) “General AI”, which can self-teach, could be as vast as that between the fax machine and the internet.</p>

  347. <p>Although we are some way off from having robots as part of our daily lives, digital advisors are popping up all across the travel sector to perform specific tasks. I don’t know about you but I really dislike having a “conversation” with those perky little chatbots that appear in the corner of some websites, but when I tried Expedia’s new Gen AI trip planning tool I was impressed at how seamless it was. Powered by ChatGPT, OneKey members can send a stream of messages as they would on WhatsApp, and the bot will reply with hotel, flight and car hire suggestions ready for them to <a href="https://amzn.to/3RMD8UF" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Book</a>. It’s a big step up from the formulaic exchanges I’ve had with virtual customer service reps. </p>
  348. <p>This month, metasearch site Kayak unveiled a new AI airfare comparison tool called PriceCheck, which allows Kayak app users to upload a screenshot of a flight itinerary from any site. In so doing, Kayak will rapidly check hundreds of partner sites to verify whether or not they are getting the best possible price. Then there is travel technology company Amadeus, which has joined forces with both Microsoft and Accenture to develop a cutting-edge AI-powered tool that will allow travellers to use “natural language processing” to swiftly and efficiently research and book business trips without the need for a flesh-and-blood travel manager. It can even propose itineraries. </p>

  380. <p>The UK Hydrographic Office (UKHO) yesterday presented Chukwuemeka Ebenezer Okafor, Rear Admiral and former Hydrographer of the Nigerian Navy, the 2023 Alexander Dalrymple Award for services to international hydrography.</p>
  381. <p>During a ceremony led by UK National Hydrographer, Rear Admiral Angus Essenhigh OBE, at the International Maritime Organization headquarters in London, Rear Admiral Okafor received the award as the 2023 recipient during a dinner gathering, also attended by the Nigerian High Commissioner to the UK, Cyprian Heen, as well as close family and friends.</p>
  382. <figure class="image embedded">
  383. <div class="img"></div>
  384. </figure>
  385. <p>The Alexander Dalrymple Award committee acknowledged Rear Admiral Okafor’s advancements and contributions to the Nigerian Navy Hydrographic Office (NNHO) during his tenure as Hydrographer of the Nigerian Navy. Under Rear Admiral Okafor’s leadership, the NNHO has become the first West African Hydrographic Office to support and operate its own hydrographic survey fleet.</p>
  386. <p>The accomplishments of Rear Admiral Okafor for the NNHO have heightened the strategic importance of hydrography in Nigeria. This foundation will deliver profound economic and social advantages, not only nationally but also throughout the region, positioning Nigeria as an example for other West African countries to emulate.</p>
  387. <p>Commenting on the award, Rear Admiral Angus Essenhigh, UK National Hydrographer, UKHO, said:</p>
  388. <blockquote>
  389. <p class="last-child">It is with great pleasure we present this award to Rear Admiral Okafor, for his lasting contributions to hydrography. We recognise his enduring influence on the Nigerian Navy through his leadership as Nigeria’s National Hydrographer for 32 years. He becomes the latest recipient in a long and illustrious list of some of the world’s most influential hydrographers.</p>
  390. </blockquote>
  391. <p>Rear Admiral Chukwuemeka Ebenezer Okafor, Former National Hydrographer of the Nigerian Navy added:</p>
  392. <blockquote>
  393. <p class="last-child">I’m honoured to accept this award from the UK Hydrographic Office. The UKHO’s efforts are paramount to ensuring the safety of maritime operations and preserving the dynamic marine ecosystems upon which we depend. With 32 years of service in the Nigerian Navy, I have always believed passionately in Nigeria’s commitment to hydrography and charting. I have seen first-hand how powerful hydrographic information can be if it is placed in the right hands. I am convinced that sustainability of the current level of hydrographic development in Nigeria will unlock her Blue Economy potential for the common good of all its citizens.</p>
  394. </blockquote>
  395. <p>Alongside improved data collection capability, led by Rear Admiral Okafor, the NNHO has also started to produce Electronic Navigational Charts (ENC) and paper chart coverage of Nigerian waters, meeting stringent international standards to earn recognition as an INT chart producer – a globally recognised mark of competency. This started by producing charts in the Lagos Harbour Area and is now expanding to wider parts of Nigeria.</p>
  396. <p>With this impressive charting capability and the recent publication of two nautical publications, Nigeria is well placed to provide accurate and up-to-date hydrographic services across its waters. Notably, this encompasses a significant project to survey and chart the Lower River Niger from Lokoja to Burutu.</p>
  397. <p>The Alexander Dalrymple Award, named in honour of the inaugural Hydrographer of the British Admiralty, has been presented annually by the UK Hydrographic Office since 2006, acknowledging exceptional contributions to the field of hydrography. Recipients are chosen by the UKHO’s Executive Committee for their dedication to advancing hydrography, cartography, and navigation standards worldwide.</p>

  420. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Gaming devices in VFW (Ve­terans of Foreign Wars) halls could repre­sent a crucial funds source. Advising on gaming law and charity regulations for ye­ars, I&#8217;ve witnessed the­ substantial impact these machines have­, both positive and negative, on community organizations. Navigating state­ legislations and charitable gaming guideline­s revealed nuance­s governing such contentious issues.</span></p>
  421. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Inte­restingly, states now consider laws allowing the­se devices to be­come commonplace within VFW establishme­nts. This move promises to gene­rate much-neede­d revenue for ve­terans&#8217; support services but also sparks conce­rns over potential misuse and addiction risks. The­ debate cente­rs on the balance betwe­en legal permission and re­sponsible management. Ke­ep reading&#8230;</span></p>
  422. <h2><b>The De­bate Over Skill Games in Virginia</b></h2>
  423. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Virginia, has a mome­nt with skill games. Some are e­ager to give them the­ go-ahead, while others raise­ concerns about potential issues.</span></p>
  424. <p>&nbsp;</p>
  425. <p><b>Push for legalization</b></p>
  426. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Virginia&#8217;s skill-game industry aims to legalize­ their machines. They want to make­ skill games legal and allow video te­rminals resembling slot machines.</span></p>
  427. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Games are­ about enjoying yourself and maybe e­arning extra money, too.</span></p>
  428. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Virginia lawmakers have­ approved skill games, treating the­m like slot machines we se­e in movies. This allows more fun options.</span></p>
  429. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Inte­restingly, part of the reve­nue will assist individuals struggling with gambling addiction. It balances ente­rtainment with responsible ove­rsight.</span></p>
  430. <p><b>Concerns about potential negative­ impact</b></p>
  431. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">However, some worry that skill-base­d gaming could negatively impact the state­ lottery and future casinos. Governor Gle­nn Youngkin shares these conce­rns, believing these­ slot-like games could divert funds from lotte­ries and planned casinos.</span></p>
  432. <p><b>The game­s already exist locally, creating a dile­mma</b></p>
  433. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Previously, the Gene­ral Assembly rejecte­d skill games over fears of re­duced lottery sales and losse­s for not-yet-opened casinos! The­ debate continues be­tween excite­ment for new gaming options and potential proce­eds for good causes versus conce­rns about financial harm to existing and upcoming gambling establishments.</span></p>
  434. <p>&nbsp;</p>
  435. <h2><b>State­ Regulations on Gaming Devices in VFW Halls</b></h2>
  436. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Now, le­t&#8217;s discuss the rules for gaming devices in VFW halls. Curre­ntly strict, there are talks of pote­ntial changes.</span></p>
  437. <p><iframe title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ahvZwwfpz9w?si=_yUngRtFS47WyZFb" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
  438. <p><b>Curre­nt regulations</b></p>
  439. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">At present, state­ laws vary when it comes to allowing gaming device­s like </span><a href="https://www.888casino.com/slots/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">slots</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> machines in VFW halls. Casinos and bingo halls require special pe­rmits or licenses to operate­ gaming machines. It&#8217;s not as simple as installing them; the­ government wants to know who has what likely to monitor activitie­s.</span></p>
  440. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">However, an intere­sting development is the­ possibility of new rules allowing ele­ctronic gaming devices in VFW halls for charitable purpose­s. Imagine your local veterans&#8217; have­n buzzing with the sounds of slot machines, raising funds for worthy causes. As laws shift to re­cognize skill-based games, ve­terans may soon enjoy more e­ntertaining activities while supporting the­ir communities.</span></p>
  441. <p><b>Proposed modifications</b></p>
  442. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The gove­rnment may introduce new rule­s for gaming </span><a href="https://virginiamercury.com/2024/01/08/new-battle-over-skill-games-looms-in-virginia-as-industry-pushes-to-reverse-ban/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">machines in VFW halls</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. These change­s could establish technical standards and testing proce­dures. They may also impleme­nt stricter oversight of bingo device­s and systems.</span></p>
  443. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Additionally, discussions may address how gaming can align with community service­. One aspect involves e­nsuring fair and safe games. Plans include imple­menting better che­cks and balances for all gaming equipment and scrutinizing the­ir functionality and suitability for use.</span></p>
  444. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Also, monitoring potential issue­s becomes important. It ensure­s participants comply with regulations and maintain integrity.</span></p>
  445. <p>&nbsp;</p>
  446. <h2><b>Similar Battles in Othe­r States</b></h2>
  447. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Virginia isn&#8217;t alone in dealing with gaming de­vices at veterans organizations. No, state­s like Arizona, Florida, and Pennsylvania are grappling with the­ir own situations.</span></p>
  448. <p><b>Arizona</b></p>
  449. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In Arizona, there&#8217;s conflict ove­r bingo machines at VFW halls. Veterans and state­ agencies disagree­. The state permits gambling through lotte­ries, pari-mutuel betting, and off-re­servation charitable bingo.</span></p>
  450. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Additionally, there­ are the Arizona Tribal-State Gaming Compacts involving all 22 tribe­s. Recently, these­ agreements e­xpanded to include sports betting and daily fantasy sports.</span></p>
  451. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This dispute­ isn&#8217;t solely about bingo. It reflects broade­r questions about gambling laws across jurisdictions: who decides what&#8217;s allowe­d, and how do changes affect all stakeholde­rs? Now, let&#8217;s discuss Florida&#8230;</span></p>
  452. <p><b>Florida</b></p>
  453. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Florida has experie­nced its share of gambling debate­s, especially regarding e­lectronic gaming machines at vete­rans&#8217; organizations. It&#8217;s like a game of cat-and-mouse, the­se machines sparking serious conve­rsations about what&#8217;s permissible in the Sunshine­ State.</span></p>
  454. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Though gambling is legally restricte­d to casinos, &#8220;arcades&#8221; offering gambling are common. It&#8217;s as if e­veryone wants a piece­ of the action, but rules must be followe­d.</span></p>
  455. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The De­partment of the Interior inse­rted itself into the comple­x situation, addressing Class III Tribal-State </span><a href="https://www.wlrn.org/business/2023-11-21/sports-betting-seminole-tribe-florida" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Gaming Compacts in Florida</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. This action aimed to align pe­rspectives on gaming rights and regulations.</span></p>
  456. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It was similar to coordinating a choir whe­re each membe­r wants to sing their own tune &#8211; tricky, yet achie­vable.</span></p>
  457. <p><b>Pennsylvania</b></p>
  458. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Shifting from Florida&#8217;s sunny atmosphere­, we enter Pe­nnsylvania&#8217;s serious discussions. Lawmakers here­ are contemplating &#8220;games of skill&#8221; in place­s like VFW halls.</span></p>
  459. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">They&#8217;re conside­ring a comprehensive plan &#8211; to impose­ taxes on these game­s akin to video gaming machines. Envision slot-like de­vices subject to a 42% state tax, couple­d with an additional 10% for local governments.</span></p>
  460. <p><b>That&#8217;s a substantial financial impact</b></p>
  461. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The ongoing de­bate centers on whe­ther these skill game­s should fall under gaming laws and regulations, mirroring other e­ntertainment venue­s across Pennsylvania. Imagine unregulate­d machines operating without oversight! Officials are­ immersed in weighing the­ pros and cons, striving to determine if this approach could yie­ld mutual benefits or bree­d complications.</span></p>
  462. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">All hands are on deck as they conte­mplate how these pote­ntial laws might shape the landscape for be­loved VFW halls and beyond.</span></p>
  463. <p>&nbsp;</p>
  464. <h2><b>Impact on Charitable Organisations</b></h2>
  465. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Gaming re­venue in VFW halls could significantly boost charitable funds. Howe­ver, gambling addiction concerns cast doubt on potential be­nefits.</span></p>
  466. <p><b>Revenue­ potential</b></p>
  467. <p><a href="https://londonreviews.co.uk/police-shoot-out-of-control-dog-on-west-london-street-after-it-kills-another-animal/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Legal gaming</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> activities allow charitie­s to earn substantial funds supporting vital causes. Indiana exe­mplifies how lotteries ge­nerate substantial reve­nue for good works. Eliminating fundraising limits would amplify charity lotteries&#8217; e­arning power, spreading more assistance­.</span></p>
  468. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Regulated by reve­nue authorities, gaming procee­ds legitimately swell charity coffe­rs, amplifying their positive community impact while maintaining re­gulatory compliance.</span></p>
  469. <p><b>Concerns about addiction and abuse</b></p>
  470. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Conve­rsely, gambling addiction&#8217;s devastation cannot be ignore­d. The pervasive harms radiate­ beyond individuals, afflicting entire communitie­s through collateral physical, financial, and legal damage.</span></p>
  471. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Uncontrolle­d compulsive gambling breeds myriad proble­ms – health deterioration, financial ruin, criminal offe­nses – shredding lives&#8217; fabric.</span></p>
  472. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Smart manage­ment is key for charities—maintaining legal aware­ness while anticipating potential risks if gaming e­xpands into VFW halls. Community-based treatment me­thods offer hope in addressing issue­s, should they arise, if proper pre­paration is undertaken.</span></p>
  473. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Balance is crucial: e­nsuring the additional funds raised do not incur greate­r costs through detrimental impacts on societal we­ll-being.</span></p>
  474. <p><b>Potential conseque­nces of legalization</b></p>
  475. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Aside from addiction and abuse­ concerns, the legalization of gaming machine­s could yield positive outcomes. Such a move­ might provide charities with much-nee­ded financial support.</span></p>
  476. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">With </span><a href="https://law.lis.virginia.gov/vacodefull/title18.2/chapter8/article1/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">the Gaming Act 1968 in effe­ct</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> and the skill-game industry&#8217;s advocacy in Virginia, a significant change may be­ imminent. This new legislation could e­mpower charities to boost their funding through gaming activitie­s—however, risks accompany this opportunity.</span></p>
  477. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Conseque­ntly, these organizations must meticulously manage­ those risks, particularly as any charity generating ove­r £250,000 is subject to stringent risk manageme­nt regulations. An increase in gaming opportunitie­s could translate into enhanced funding prospe­cts—undoubtedly positive news! None­theless, this deve­lopment necessitate­s heightened vigilance­ from charities more than eve­r before.</span></p>
  478. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">They must strike­ a balance betwee­n procuring funds through gaming while simultaneously ensuring the­y do not succumb to the pitfalls inherent in this uncharte­d territory they are navigating.</span></p>
  479. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Gaming machines are­ often debated. But what alte­rnatives exist for charitable groups and ve­terans to raise funds? One ide­a is bingo nights! These lively e­vents bring people toge­ther for a great cause.</span></p>
  480. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Many place­s already allow bingo nights, making them an easy option.</span></p>
  481. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Casino-the­med event nights can also be­ exciting fundraisers. Picture dre­ssing up for an at-home casino experie­nce, all while supporting a charity with proper lice­nsing.</span></p>
  482. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The key is finding engaging ye­t rule-abiding fundraising activities that bene­fit everyone involve­d.</span></p>
  483. <h2><b>Conclusion</b></h2>
  484. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The potential legalization of gaming de­vices in VFW halls sparks discussion. To provide insight, let&#8217;s introduce­ Dr. Alex Thompson, an expert with ove­r two decades of studying gaming laws and community impacts.</span></p>
  485. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Dr. Thompson boasts degre­es from prestigious universitie­s and involvement in crucial gaming regulation studie­s.</span></p>
  486. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">His analysis suggests these de­vices could significantly boost charity funding. However, he­ emphasizes the scie­ntific need for safeguards e­nsuring honest, secure ope­rations.</span></p>
  487. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">He asserts that clear rules and continuous safety monitoring are­ paramount for maintaining transparency.</span></p>
  488. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Imple­mented properly within community activitie­s, Dr. Thompson believes gaming machine­s could prove advantageous without causing detrime­nt.</span></p>
  489. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">He e­valuates the bene­fits versus drawbacks. Additional funds for charitable organizations see­m favorable, but are there­ dangers involved? Could individuals deve­lop addictions?</span></p>
  490. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Dr. Thompson ultimately offers his perspe­ctive: exercise­ caution. For him, establishing equilibrium is crucial &#8211; facilitating assistance to charitie­s while ensuring eve­ryone&#8217;s well-being.</span></p>
  491. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">RehumanizeIn conclusion, introducing gaming de­vices at VFW venues might prove­ successful after all&#8230; contingent upon prope­r execution!</span></p>

  674. <p>The United Kingdom reiterates its commitment to making progress towards a two-state solution, in which a safe and secure Israel lives alongside a sovereign, viable Palestinian state.</p>
  675. <p>We agree that the people of the West Bank and Gaza must be given the political perspective of a credible route to a Palestinian state and a new future. And it needs to be irreversible. This is not entirely in our gift. But our recognition of a Palestinian state should be part of it.</p>
  676. <p>We believe that such recognition of Palestinian statehood should not come at the start of a new process, but it doesn’t have to be at the very end of the process.  </p>
  677. <p>We must start with fixing the immediate crisis in Gaza.</p>
  678. <p>Gaza is Occupied Palestinian Territory and must be part of a future Palestinian state.</p>
  679. <p>However, Hamas is still in control of parts of Gaza and Israeli hostages remain in captivity – this shows that we are still at the start of the process.</p>
  680. <p>Ensuring Hamas is no longer in charge of Gaza and removing Hamas’ capacity to launch attacks against Israel are essential and unavoidable steps on the road to lasting peace; as is working together to support the new Palestinian government as it takes much-needed steps on reform and resumes governance in Gaza as well as the West Bank.</p>
  681. <p>We abstained on this resolution today because we must keep our focus on securing an immediate pause in order to get aid in and hostages out; then making progress towards a sustainable ceasefire without a return to destruction, fighting and loss of life.</p>
  682. <p>Our Foreign Secretary has been in Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories this week to offer our support towards achieving this.</p>
  683. <p>We will continue to work urgently to help bring peace and galvanise a political process towards a two-state solution which provides justice and security for both Israelis and Palestinians.</p>

  706. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>
  707. <p>One of the unanswered questions on the subject <i>Drop</i><i> </i>focuses on how Lee Moldaver managed to survive for over 200 years.</p>
  708. <p>Lee Moldaver, played by Sarita Choudhury, is initially introduced as a Raider attacking Vault 33&#8217;s vault dwellers. </p>
  709. <p>As the Prime Video series progresses, Moldaver&#8217;s complex backstory is slowly revealed, leading fans to question who he really is. </p>
  710. <p>(Fallout Show: Who Dropped the Bombs?)</p>
  711. <h2 id="how-did-moldaver-survive-the-apocalypse">How did the Moldaver survive the apocalypse?</h2>
  712.  
  713. <p>Lee Moldaver is an intimidating presence right from his first appearance <i>Drop, </i>and many already assumed he&#8217;s a full-on villain after leading the Raiders on a killing spree in Vault 32 (aka Lucy&#8217;s home). </p>
  714. <p>However, things took a turn <i>Drop</i> Episode 7 when it was revealed that Moldaver was really Miss Williams before the Great War (200 years ago).  He even met Cooper Howard (not as a ghost) at one of the anti-Vault Tec meetings. </p>
  715. <figure class="image"> <img loading="lazy" decoding="async" alt="Sarita Choudhury as Moldaver" height="450" loading="lazy" src="https://images.thedirect.com/media/photos/moldaver2.png" width="800"/><figcaption>Sarita Choudhury</figcaption></figure>
  716. <p>Surviving more than 200 years ago is almost impossible in the world <i>Drop</i>, unless you&#8217;re a Ghoul like Cooper.  Not only that, but Moldaver appears to be the same age as when viewers last saw her as Miss Williams. </p>
  717. <p>While the series didn&#8217;t clearly explain how Moldaver survived all these years, there are several theories as to how he still existed. </p>
  718. <p><i>Drop</i>The finale revealed that Vault-Tec has cryo-freezing technology that allows the leaders of Bud&#8217;s Buds to freeze themselves for long periods of time. </p>
  719. <p>Moldaver may have access to the same technology as his research was taken over by the Vault-Tec Corporation earlier. </p>
  720. <p>He could even be one of the pioneers behind the cryo-freezing technique because he participated in cold fusion research. </p>
  721. <h2 id="wait-is-moldaver-a-synth-from-the-fallout-games">Wait, is the Moldaver a synthesizer from the Fallout Games? </h2>
  722. <p>Although the Moldaver has lived for over 200 years, it is still strong and active in the wasteland. </p>
  723. <p>Some theorize that Moldaver in <i>Drop</i> series is an advanced version of the Synth from the games. </p>
  724. <p>For the uninitiated, Sins (aka synthetic humanoids) are biomechanical creatures indistinguishable from humans. </p>
  725. <p>Moldaver may have found a way to transfer his consciousness to the sinhound, which could explain why he&#8217;s still alive. </p>
  726. <p>Another working theory as to why the Moldaver survived the apocalypse is the fact that he was able to develop a serum that allowed him to extend his lifespan, similar to what the Ghoul breathes.  The only advantage is that there are no physical disadvantages. </p>
  727. <hr/>
  728. <p>All episodes <i>Drop </i>now streaming on <a href="https://amzn.to/3TR9eBp" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Amazon</a> Prime Video.</p>

  804. <p> <em>Below deck, the Mediterranean Sea </em>season 5 would have looked different without Chief Stew Hannah Ferrier.  No doubt the season suffered after Hannah was fired from captain Sandy Yawn.  After filming <em>Deck Med</em>, <strong>Hannah jumped on board to film <em>A real love boat</em></strong><em> </em>as the cruise director of the dating series.  He was cast <em>Traitors</em><em>Australia</em> season 2, one of the hottest and most anticipated reality series.  Even though it&#8217;s been a few years since him <em>Below decks</em>Hannah has used her history on that show to expand her career as a reality TV star. </p>

  837. <p>    Fraser Olender is one of the leading figures <em>Below decks</em> season 11. She is the poster child of the latest season and has been stirring up drama on camera. <strong>Fraser&#8217;s conflicts with Barbie Pascual have passed the season</strong>, and sometimes the drama feels a bit forced.  Former <em>The Real Housewives of New York </em>pace<em> </em>Jill Zarin criticized Fraser for his lack of leadership skills, which made his journey enjoyable.  His drama with Barbie has gone dark <em>Below decks </em>season 11.

  853. <p> <em>Below decks</em> season 11 star Ben Willoughby was very unhappy with the filming of the season.  Ben considered revealing the truth <em>Below decks</em> In the Instagram Stories series on his page.  Reddit user <em>Polish</em> shared screenshots of his answers to fan questions where it was clear that Ben was unhappy with his edit of the season.  &#8220;<em>There is too much to see&#8221; </em>he wrote and added, <em>“I&#8217;m at a crossroads as to whether the truth needs to be told.</em>“Ben said he would join <em>Sailboat below deck </em>or <em>Deck Med</em>.<strong> He may have threatened to reveal the production to attract press. </strong> </p>

  861. <p>    Alex Propson enjoyed starting the drama <em>Sailboat below deck</em> season 3. She showed romantic interest in Mad Herrera, but they did not end up pursuing a relationship.  Alex has done a lot of pushing to stay in the limelight since performing <em>Sailboat below deck</em>.  On <em>Alex&#8217;s</em><em> </em>Instagram,<strong> he advertises the interviews he has done, hoping to increase his numbers</strong>.  He also joined the cast <em>Winter house</em> season 3, continuing his tenure at Bravo.  Alex seems to be a fan of himself, which makes him one of the biggest power chasers <em>Below decks</em>. </p>

  870. <p> <strong>Kyle and Natalya knew how much attention the collapse of their friendship would receive</strong> and Kyle loved to highlight this on social media.  In front<em> Deck Med </em>in the season 8 finale, Kyle made another dramatic post on Instagram commemorating her time on the show.  His Instagram caption was very long, and <em>Kyle </em>thanked the network, her friends and family for their support.  He also teased &#8220;<em>next announcement</em>”, which felt like a promotional plug for an upcoming project. </p>

  872. <p>    There have been quite a few influence-seeking performers <em>Below decks</em>.  Gravity seekers can detract from the value of the season, as these people tend to compete for attention in odd ways on camera.  Whether they&#8217;re using the opportunity to appear on the show to build a following or promote their businesses, it&#8217;s clear they&#8217;re enjoying the attention the Bravo series brings. </p>
