Hello Dubai, long awaited new episode of The Most Expensive for Christmas is coming December 31st
The Wingham name is synonymous with Christmas, but so far, we still don’t know what traditions they go in for in the Wingham household.
Is everything diamond encrusted?
Apparently not! We were delighted to find out that the slightly dysfunctional Wingham family has a tradition called ‘crap wrap’, a super-secret wrapping technique that Mrs. Wingham usually falls victim to, the main culprit being Damian, her husband.
Crap wrap consists of presents wrapped with tons of cellophane wrap and not a lot of regard for aesthetics.
Judging by her recent Christmas photos on Instagram, this so-called ‘crap wrapping’ must be hidden behind the nice designer gifts, unless her cute Chihuahua Luca is hiding them of course. We will all learn more when we tune into Episode 2 of The Most Expensive.
So far, the private life of the Wingham family has been exactly that, private, but since embarking on her new Gossip Stone TV series she has revealed many secrets about her creations and family life.
This family sure do have a lot of character, from their fur babies Luca and Cavalli, to their sweet daughter Scarlett.
To the surprise of many, however, Debbie Wingham’s husband Damian is rapidly becoming one of the heroes of the show, mostly due to his melancholy approach to Christmas that will have you laughing your festive socks off!
Don’t forget Wingham earned her way on to Santa’s nice list by filling the stockings of every millionaire within reach. Her sleigh is more of a private jet though.
In 2019 she practically broke the internet with the world’s most expensive Christmas tree, which was showcased at Kempinski in Marbella, Spain. It was valued at $15 million USD and was adorned with diamond ornaments created from ‘eco luxury’ goods, otherwise known as repurposed luxury, consisting of Cartier, Louis Vuitton, Van Cleef and Arpels.
In 2020, Wingham also created a toy soldier fashioned from eco luxury goods, it was created for a Russian couple marking their babies’ first Christmas and was valued at a quarter of a million USD.
And in 2021, Wingham created the world’s most expensive advent calendar, a calendar which marked the 12 days of Christmas all based on destinations that a lucky family would visit that coming year, with luxury trinkets in each window referencing that location as a hint, with a value of $10 million USD.
2022 is the first year when Wingham didn’t create a diamond encrusted festive masterpiece, and we asked her why. She said that the best was yet to come, and her latest festive project will take more than 12 months to create and will be revealed in 2023. She also went on to reveal quite mysteriously that she is starting 2023 with some added sparkle. We wonder if that means yet another world’s most expensive masterpiece.
These questions will no doubt be answered in her coming December episode of the World’s Most Expensive aired before the year end. If you haven’t managed to catch the first episode yet, you can find it on the Gossip Stone TV channel which airs on Amazon Fire TV, Roku TV and Apple TV.
As the first U.S. cybersecurity company to provide exclusive cybersecurity, compliance, and risk management services for technology distributors and their partners, CSS is on a mission to help partners bring high-quality and cost-effective cybersecurity solutions to organizations of all sizes.

COLUMBUS, Ohio - December 29, 2022 - (Newswire.com)
The Columbus, Ohio-based cybersecurity company, Cyber Security Services (CSS), is shifting gears in 2023 to provide exclusive services for technology distributors and their partners. The new business model will open doors for value-added resellers (VARs) and technology partners to expand the portfolio of services they can offer their clients. As a distribution-only services firm, partners can be assured that CSS will never compete for the same business. The primary objective of the company will be to drive sales on behalf of their valued partners by providing high-quality services that ultimately reduce risk for the clients they serve.
CSS noted that technology partners are finding it difficult to compete with the billion-dollar cybersecurity companies on consulting engagements. With cybersecurity talent being difficult to retain, and specialists in specific areas being scarce, it is getting increasingly more difficult for small businesses to stay competitive. CSS believes their new business model will bridge that gap. The company wants partners to lean more on the distribution channels like TD Synnex for assistance with all of their clients' cybersecurity challenges. This will create a method where partners can deliver high-quality cybersecurity services at affordable rates so that they can compete with the biggest players in the industry. With top-notch project management from the distribution channel and CSS security experts ready to deliver, it is a value proposition that creates a competitive advantage for technology partners.
Cyber Security Services founder Matt Santill says, "At our core, we are a hands-on cybersecurity company. We want to do what we do best, and let our partners build upon the client relationships they've already established. The change in our business model will open new sales opportunities for partners to provide a catalog of services that they may not have in-house today. This is truly a beneficial partnership all around. It is a win for our distributors, a win for the technology partners they serve, and a win for our company." The portfolio of services include compliance services, such as SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI, GLBA, and CMMC compliance. The services also include hands-on security delivery with penetration testing, incident response, virtual CISO (vCISO), managed detection and response (MDR), risk assessments, and security product implementations.
In 2022, Cyber Security Services has completed projects for more than 15 of the Fortune 500 companies on behalf of their partners. This announcement seeks to expand upon that in 2023 by providing exclusive services for the distribution channels and their technology partners.

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. - December 28, 2022 - (Newswire.com)
Physicians for Informed Consent (PIC) has released an update to its Aluminum - Vaccine Risk Statement (VRS) titled "Aluminum in Vaccines: What Parents Need to Know." The concise, two-page educational document — which serves to answer important questions about the risks of aluminum-containing vaccines — now includes important data about a study's link between aluminum in vaccines and asthma. Asthma is a disease that affects the lungs. It causes repeated episodes of wheezing, breathlessness, chest tightness, and nighttime or early morning coughing.
Developed from data compiled by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR), the PIC document provides reader-friendly Q&As on topics such as:
Why is aluminum in vaccines?
Which vaccines contain aluminum?
How much aluminum is in vaccines?
Is exposure to aluminum from vaccines safe?
The document explains that both the FDA and ATSDR have raised concerns about the negative effects of aluminum exposure in humans. Scientific studies have shown that small amounts of aluminum can interfere with cellular and metabolic processes in the nervous system. Some of the most damaging effects of aluminum range from motor skill impairment to encephalopathy (altered mental state, personality changes, difficulty thinking, loss of memory, seizures, coma, and more).
Studies have also shown that adverse effects of aluminum may not be restricted to neurological conditions.* A study referenced in the PIC document and published in Academic Pediatrics found that asthma occurred in 1 in 183 vaccinated children for every 1 mg (1,000 mcg) increase in aluminum exposure. In the United States, up to 22 doses of aluminum-containing vaccines are administered to children, with 11 doses administered from birth to 6 months of age.
"Overexposure to aluminum may lead to significant harm," said Dr. Shira Miller, founder and president of Physicians for Informed Consent. "In California, where PIC is headquartered, since Senate Bill 277 (SB 277) was enacted in 2015, numerous doses of aluminum-containing vaccines are mandated for public and private K-12 school attendance — with no exceptions for religious or personal belief exemptions. PIC asserts that vaccine mandates are unscientific and unethical and a threat to public health. SB 277, and any other law that coerces vaccination, needs to be repealed."
* In 2008, the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR), a division of HHS, used studies of the neurotoxic effects of aluminum to determine that no more than 1 milligram (mg) (1,000 micrograms [mcg]) of aluminum per kilogram (kg) of body weight should be taken orally per day to avoid aluminum's negative effects.
Physicians for Informed Consent is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit educational organization focused on science and statistics. PIC delivers data on infectious diseases and vaccines, and unites doctors, scientists, healthcare professionals, attorneys, and families who support voluntary vaccination. In addition, the PIC Coalition for Informed Consent consists of over 300 U.S. and international organizations. Click here to make a donation.

iQuanti: Credit is an essential part of our financial livelihood. Everyone deserves access to credit options, as it impacts our ability to get approved for things like a mortgage or personal loan. So, how can you begin rebuilding your credit if you have a low credit score?
It takes time and effort but improving your credit rating and getting back on track with your finances is possible. Here are some steps you can take to repair your credit.
Get a secured credit card
Getting a secured credit card is one of the best ways to rebuild your credit. This type of credit card requires you to put down a deposit, which becomes your credit limit. Since you're borrowing against your own money, lenders see this as less of a risk and are more likely to approve you for one of these cards. Remember to set yourself up for success by only depositing what you can afford to use and making your payments on time.
Become an authorized user on someone else's credit card
If you have a family member or friend with good credit, you may be able to become an authorized user on their credit card. You'll be able to use their credit card, and their payment history will appear on your credit report, which can boost your credit score. However, if you lapse these payments, your family member or friend will have to pay back these debts for you.
Get a personal loan from a lender that reports to the credit bureaus
Personal loans can help you rebuild your credit. By making timely payments on a personal loan, you show lenders that you're a responsible borrower and improve your chances of getting approved for future loans. A lender reporting your account activity to nationwide credit bureaus can help you establish and rebuild your credit history.
Pay off your debts
One of the best ways to improve your credit score is to pay off your debts. If you have outstanding debts on your credit cards or other loans, start working on paying them off as soon as possible. The sooner you can get them paid off, the better it will be for your credit score.
Keep your credit utilization low
Your credit utilization ratio is the amount of credit you use compared to your credit limit. Keeping your credit utilization ratio low is vital to your credit score's well-being. Doing so means not maxing out credit limits, paying off debts on time, and managing different types of credit simultaneously. By doing so, lenders will consider you a responsible lender, which should reflect positively on your credit score in the future.
Northwestern Mutual: Having a second child can be a big decision that affects every family member. From added costs to how to use hand-me-downs, here are a few things for parents considering baby number two to think about:
Impact on their firstborn
Parents considering a second child may wonder how their firstborn will feel about it. This is especially true if their first child is still a toddler. A second child can create feelings of jealousy, making it even harder for older siblings to get used to a new baby.
Talking to an expert like a pediatrician or a child psychologist can ease the transition. It can also help to read a first child books about becoming an older sibling and talk to them about their feelings regarding a new baby.
Financial security and stability
Parents thinking about having a second child will want to take stock of their financial situation. Do they have enough saved in an emergency fund (about six months' worth of expenses is a good general rule for this)? Have they set goals for the future and do they have a plan to save for them? With children, saving for college is a common savings goal.
Another important part of financial planning involves a plan for the risk that a parent might not be able to earn income. Life insurance is a way that many parents plan for this risk. While no one likes to think about what would happen if one spouse were to pass away, having a plan in place can give parents the peace of mind that the family will be okay financially if something were to happen to one or both of them.
Revisit estate planning
Parents who have an estate plan in place should consider updating it. Parents who don't have one may want to consider it. An estate plan may seem like it's only for the rich and famous, but it's a way to plan in case both parents unexpectedly pass away. Without one, a court will decide what happens to the children and who would manage any money — like from a life insurance payout that's left to them.
Establishing a new budget
From buying diapers and formula to clothes and toys, there are a lot of expenses that come along with raising a child. Parents considering baby number two will likely want to revisit their budget.
Parents can start by taking a close look at current expenses and assessing their family's starting point. If needed, parents may need to prioritize spending to make way for some of the costs that come in the early years of raising a child.
Parents may want to consider their childcare situation as well. Will the new baby mean paying a babysitter more? Could it make sense for a parent to stay home full-time now that there are two? Some daycares offer a second sibling discount for families that have more than one child—is this an option?
How to use hand-me-downs
Parents will want to take advantage of hand-me-downs to save money. Onesies, bathtubs, toys, and more are likely still in good condition. Getting them ready might be as simple as taking things out of storage and sterilizing them.
There are other benefits to using hand-me-downs—Reusing items is an environmentally friendly choice. A firstborn child seeing their new sibling using their old toys might feel more connected to the baby.
Getting ready for baby number two
There are several things to do before having a second child. Tackling financial tasks, getting hand-me-downs ready, and explaining everything to the firstborn can all make the process a bit easier the second time around.
