Billionaire entrepreneur Mark Cuban has opened up about his path to success and his unique spending habits in a recent interview. What Happened : Despite his billionaire status, Cuban confessed that he is not one to splurge. However, he did indulge in a house and a plane when he first tasted success. Since then, his spending habits have been more conservative. Cuban believes that a part of his success can be attributed to luck. Speaking with People, Cuban said, “I was born at the right time so that when the internet technology really took off, we were able to start AudioNet, which turned into Broadcast.com, which turned into the first streaming company, which went public and I could turn around and sell for $5.7 billion in stock.” "When I first made money I did go out and buy things, I bought a house, bought a plane," he told the outlet. "But since then, I literally even had a conversation with my wife not long ago that, ‘Okay, we’re allowed to go out and buy some stuff, so if we want to, let’s go look at things.' But I’m not a big spender," Cuban added.

That has led to a prominent child welfare advocate and First Nations leaders in Manitoba warning about an escalating crisis caused by Canada’s inaction. Jordan’s Principle is a legal rule that stipulates that when a First Nations child needs health, social or educational services they are to receive them from the government first approached, with questions about final jurisdiction worked out afterward. The tribunal ordered Canada to identify the number of backlogged cases under that rule and return to it with a detailed plan to address them by Dec. 10. On that deadline Canada told the tribunal the proposed timeline to address the backlog of some 140,000 cases was “not operationally feasible” and could impact the delivery of services to First Nations children and families. It also identified 25,891 are labelled as urgent. Urgent Jordan’s Principle requests are supposed to be processed within 24 hours. But urgent requests are taking up to one month to be reviewed, according to Independent First Nations, an advocacy body representing a dozen First Nations in Ontario and Quebec. In a January affidavit, the First Nations Child and Family Caring Society said nearly half of requests made by individuals from those First Nations in 2023-24 are still in review, along with 10 per cent of the files submitted in 2022-23. The delays extend to the reimbursement of service providers, the Caring Society argued, with the Indigenous Services department missing its own promise to make those payments within 15 days. In 2022-23, the department processed only 50.7 per cent of payments within 15 business days, compared to 82.9 per cent in 2021-22. In an interview Thursday, Cindy Blackstock, who heads the Caring Society, said Canada is making excuses for its noncompliance in its letter to the tribunal, and that it’s a mess of its own creation. “Canada behaved its way into this backlog crisis by not addressing it at an earlier stage and not implementing the many solutions that were put to it to solve the problem,” she said. “And now it’s saying, ‘Well, we’re in this crisis, and so we can’t possibly comply with the legal orders that are intended to stop the discrimination.’ That cannot be allowed.” In the meantime, children are suffering due to Canada’s actions, she said. The Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs, which represents the 63 First Nations in the province, echoed her concerns, calling it an unsustainable system of paperwork and approval processes. “This bureaucratic red tape is delaying urgent care for children and creating a situation where First Nations are powerless to make the decisions necessary to protect their own children, youth and families,” the organization said in a statement released Wednesday evening. This has resulted in children missing critical medical appointments, essential education supports and cultural programs, said acting Grand Chief Betsy Kennedy. “This ongoing confusion and frustration, created by Canada’s refusal to engage with First Nations on decision and guidelines, are making it even harder for our children to access the services they are legally entitled to,” she added. Manitoba is ranked third highest in estimated backlogs amongst the provinces, data Indigenous Services Canada provided in its report shows. There are more than 25,000 requests outstanding. Saskatchewan is the highest with more than 33,000 claims followed by Ontario with more than 30,000. Indigenous Services Canada did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Jeremy Clarkson's Diddly Squat Farm, is facing challenges in the wake of Storm Darragh. Regrettably for the star of Clarkson's Farm and his crew's various establishments in Oxfordshire, have been unable to endure the harsh conditions of the storm, which recently swept across the UK, bringing gusts of up to 93mph in certain areas. Taking to Diddly Squat's Instagram account it was announced the Grand Tour tent section of the venue was being shut down until further notice after it was battered by high winds and rain, necessitating some urgent repair work. This closure is particularly unfortunate as the tent draws visitors because it is the same tent Jeremy and his former Grand Tour co-stars Richard Hammond and James May used on their global tour. However, it proved no match for Storm Darragh. Due to the extent of the damage, the closure also meant Jeremy had to shut down the farm's butchers, off-licence Hops and Chops, the shop and the garden kitchen, known as The Famer's Puppy. "Sadly, our Grand Tour tent will be closing for some much-needed wind repair today," read a post on their social media account. But there was a silver lining: The Farmer's Dog main pub would remain open to the public as the storm continued to pass through. Jeremy's fans have rallied to bring a dash of humour to an otherwise unfortunate situation after his beloved Diddly Squat farm suffered damage amid the storms. Followers flocked to the comment section with quips like, "What did May do? Or did Hammond crash into it? " and "Reminds me of Hammonds motorhome on top gear where he managed to set fire to metal". However, not all banter was well-received, as one overzealous commenter learnt when suggesting Jeremy should have preemptively dismantled his pub to avoid storm damage. They wrote: “Surprised you didn't take it down before the storm came would of been easier.” Clarkson's curt response was: "It takes 24 people seven days to put that thing up or take it down." As fans are eager to find out the status of the pub, questions such as "Will the tent and farm shop be open again by this coming Thursday 12th?" were asked, to which the establishment assured that the farm shop is "standing strong" and would resume trading by Thursday. The Farmer's Dog launch at the cusp of summer on August 23 was a smash hit, drawing in crowds keen to sample what Clarkson's latest culinary extension of his Diddly Squat brand in Chipping Norton had to offer. Jeremy snapped up the five-acre spot, originally The Windmill pub, bagging the property for "less than £1m" before rebranding it to his taste. Presently, the establishment welcomes patrons Wednesday through Sunday, from midday until 11pm, offering beverages and dishes crafted with locally-sourced ingredients from British farms.

STEPHEN BRADLEY has vowed Shamrock Rovers will give it a go against Chelsea. A point at Stamford Bridge could be enough for Rovers to bypass the play-off round and go straight through the last 16 of the Europa Conference League. That follows a statement 3-0 win over Borac Banja Luka at Tallaght Stadium with two goals from Johnny Kenny either side of one from Neil Farrugia, which the Sligo man assisted. It bagged another €400,000 in prize money for the club – who lie sixth in the standings - with Kenny the competition’s joint top scorer with five goals. Chelsea and Hoops are two of just three – along with SC Vitoria – clubs that remain unbeaten in the competition but Bradley knows his side will have their work cut out to maintain theirs in London. Asked if it was a free hit, Bradley said: “I don’t like that but I get it. “They are one of the best teams in Europe, one of the most in-form teams around, they’re scoring goals for fun, I get all that. “But that’s what you want. We’ll go with a game-plan and we’ll see what happens and see where it takes us. “We’ve put ourselves in a position where we can enjoy the occasion, as fans and players. We’ll focus and do what we know we can do but we know what we’re up against.” Bradley conceded the form of Celtic loanee Kenny – the first Rovers player to score 20 goals in a season since Gary Twigg – could make it difficult to bring him back to Tallaght next season. He said: “Maybe but that’s healthy, it means he’s doing well and he’s helping us. The future with Johnny will be what it will be. We’re having conversations all of the time. “I think there’s a lot more to come from him. “You’ll win some and you’ll lose some. Players will leave, players will come in, we have to keep evolving. We’ve brought Danny Grant in and we’re close to another.” Bradley was delighted with his side’s dominant display against the Bosnian champions. He said: “I thought our play was really good at times considering we are a month out of seasons. “We limited them to just a few quality crosses into the box where we knew they were strong. We had to work extremely hard in wide areas and we did that. “To a man I thought we were excellent. The players deserve credit. "You could see Borac’s quality, what they were trying to do but our players got to grips with it really quickly and took the game away from them.“
