Dominican Olympics Committee congratulates MenaRD on Capcom Cup victory
The official Olympic Committee for the Dominican Republic has congratulated professional Street Fighter player MenaRD for their victory at Capcom Cup. As the victor, they’re the final Street Fighter 5 champion as official tournaments prepare for the launch of Street Fighter 6.
“Excellent sunrise for all Dominicans, and Dominican esports. Saul Mena, Capcom Cup Champion.” writes the olympic committee on Twitter (translated via google translate), MenaRD has been a notable player since 2017, when he made a big impact as one of Latin America’s best fighting game players.
MenaRD has also invested a lot of his winnings over the years into building up gaming communities in his region, which traditionally hasn’t got as much financial support as places like the USA, UK, or Japan. It was in 2017 following his first Capcom Cup victory that he donated a large portion of his $250,000 winnings to building up his local scene.

I’m team no bra and grew my boobs naturally from a B to a DD – my secret hack will help you go up a cup size
A WOMAN who claims to be “team no bra” claims to have grown her boobs naturally from a B cup to a DD by following a secret hack.
TikToker @drvalen revealed her hack in a recent video.
“Okay so I’m gonna tell you how I grew my boobs from like a B cup to a double almost – I would say I’m like a double D now,” she began her video.
“But I don’t like wearing bras, so I don’t know.
“So the first thing I did was include dairy back in my life cause I was vegan,” she shared.
“That made my boobs grow a lot.
“I worked out and I eat very clean and adding dairy just made them grow,” she claimed.
“I’m still like leaning out so I’m not like just fat.
“It’s like I’m leaning out and I’m getting boobs from the dairy.”
She continued to share more about her transformation, saying she now has a smaller waist and bigger boobs.
“It’s a cute look, you know,” she said.
“Also not wearing bras at all.
“I will literally never wear a bra and I’ve just noticed that my boobs grow as well,” she claimed.
“It stops like the lymphatic system from like letting them breathe.
“So don’t wear bras, eat dairy.”
But there’s a catch – she said the dairy has to be farm fresh.
“Because if you go to like … Target, Publix, Walmart, anything like that, their dairy is s***.
“It has so many like bad ingredients, so many hormones,” she claimed.
The TikToker’s video has been viewed more than 41,000 times.
People in the comments seemed to appreciate the TikToker’s advice.
“thank you so much for this,” one person wrote.
“Will almond milk work still? (I’m not a fan of plain milk, but I do eat dairy ex. yogurt, ice cream, other dairy products),” another asked.
“No almond isn’t at nutritional,” the TikToker replied.
The TikToker’s claims have not been backed up by a medical professional.
Manchester City’s Laura Coombs ‘ready to get to work’ for England after ‘surprise’ return ahead of Arnold Clark Cup
BEING called back into the Lionesses’ fold after almost three years has come as a shock to Laura Coombs.
The Manchester City star, 32, thought her moment with England had passed before receiving a call from head coach Sarina Wiegman.

The Lionesses are due to compete in the Arnold Clark Cup tournament which starts on Thursday (February 16)[/caption]
This Thursday could see the experienced WSL player, whose performances have earned her a new City contract, make her first senior Lionesses appearance since 2015.
The midfield star is part of Sarina Wiegman’s 26-strong squad for the Arnold Clark Cup with England seeking to win the four-team tournament for the second year in a row.
The Lionesses will face the Korea Republic at Stadium MK at 7:45 pm on that day.
The match will be the first of their three games in the contest followed by duels with Italy and Belgium.
Coombs revealed she was the middle of having an ice bath with her City club team-mate Khadija Shaw when she received the news of her call-up for England duty
And she admits a return to international football was the furthest thought from her mind.
Coombs said: “I was surprised because it’s been so long.
“I haven’t been thinking about the international stage anymore.
“I was thinking I was going to get a break over the international period.
“I am really happy to be here. It was a shock but now I’m here, I’m ready to get to work.
“I was surprised because it’s been so long.”
This season Coombs, who joined Man City in 2019 after a two-year Liverpool spell, has been among the standout performers for Gareth Taylor’s Citizens.
The Kent-born footballer, who began her senior career at Arsenal in 2007, has made 13 top-flight appearances for City so far this term notching up four goals and three assists
And the club are now 14 games unbeaten at home and third in the league.
The midfielder, who made her international debut in October 2015 as a substitute during the Lionesses’ 2-1 loss to China, currently has two senior caps.
Her last involvement with the squad came in November 2020 when she was called up to join an international camp during Phil Neville’s reign as head coach.
Coombs added: “At the time Phil was taking a look at me and I didn’t come back.
“It’s a really weird feeling, getting that call (from Sarina) because I wasn’t expecting it and that was the honest truth.
“Now I’m here, I’m really happy to be here.
“It’s a really positive place coming off the back of the Euros (and the team winning the tournament).
“It’s an amazing group to be a part of and you just feel lucky when you’re training that the level is so high and you’re tested every day.”
Since her first England appearance almost eight years ago at club level, Coombs has helped Man City win an FA Cup and last season’s Continental Tyres trophy
And Taylor’s faith in her abilities have seen her start in 12 of the 13 WSL games City have played so far this term
A stark contrast to the midfielder making six top tier starts for the club last season.
Her most recent appearance saw her play a key role in the Citizens’ battling 2-1 defeat of Arsenal in the WSL on Saturday.
A result that saw City avenge their Conti Cup semis lost to the Gunners last Thursday.
Coombs said: “It feels really comfortable at club. I’m being pushed by the people around me and the manager every day in training.
“I feel really valued by the team and obviously, you can play and train a lot better when you’re in that headspace.
“When I’m on a good roll, I’ve just been trying to keep that going.”
With the World Cup in Australia and New Zealand commencing little over five months from now, Coombs could see in contention for a spot in Wiegman’s 23-strong squad.
Coombs added: “We’ve only had one training session so far.
“But I am excited to see what Sarina will be like in sessions going forward.
“She seems really approachable and in a manager that’s what you (as a player) want, someone you feel comfortable speaking to.
She has told me the type of player she sees me as so I have got a good idea of how she wants me to play.
Coombs’ form has seen her make 13 top-flight appearances this season as well as signing a new two-year contract with the club this month[/caption]
“It’s more of a case of just bedding into how the team is and how the team wants me to play.”
When asked what it would mean to her if she were to be included in England’s World Cup squad, Coombs said: “It would be incredible, knowing that my last cap was eight years ago.
“I just think that’s a really unique journey.
“Not many players have that time between call-ups.
“It’s something I thought had passed, so it’d be even more special.”

Alex Scott breaks silence over decision to wear One Love armband at Qatar World Cup
FOOTBALL Focus host Alex Scott has broken her silence over her decision to wear the One Love armband at the World Cup in Qatar.
Alex, who dates both men and women, wore it to show support for the LGBT community in the country – where same sex relationships are illegal.

She wore the band as she covered England’s first game in Qatar, after the Three Lions were banned from doing so.
Former Arsenal Women’s player Alex, 38, said: “We all woke up to the news of the armband being banned.
“I remember being so sad.
“I was standing with the kit man, Andy, looking out, just full of emotion.
“I said: ‘Andy, no one’s told me I can’t wear an armband’.
He said: ‘Alex, you f***ing genius.’
“No one knew anything.
“I remember saying to Kelly who was going to interview me: ‘Kelly don’t say a word. All I’m doing is going to put this armband on and it’s going to speak for itself.’
“And that’s exactly what I did. This little thing and what it represents.”
Alex said her decision saw her being trolled and sent vile messages by strangers online.
Speaking at the 2023 Attitude 101 lunch at London’s Rosewood Hotel, Alex said: “After that I disappeared. I was in Qatar with all the abuse and I was like, I need to get away because I can’t believe something out of love could create so much hate and such a divide.
“It was Martin Luther King who said; Injustice anywhere is a threat to just everywhere. And by stopping wearing this arm band is exactly what was happening in Qatar.
“So I disappeared. I went to Barbados for a little while. And then I came back to the UK and to say I appreciate and love so much people coming up to me and saying what wearing this armband meant to everyone.”
I’m a size 22 with 44G cup boobs – I tried two black dresses from PrettyLittleThing, people say there was a clear winner
A PLUS-SIZE fashion influencer compared two bargain dresses from PrettyLittleThing.
The TikTok user, who goes by Velvety Cleopatra, modeled the looks for her followers.
Cleopatra, who wears a size 22 and has 44G cup boobs, explained that she was impressed with the clothing brand’s inclusive sizing in the past.
In her video, she tried on a black velvet midi dress with a V-neck detail, $12.
“It’s velvet, it’s black, it’s sexy. Let me show you what it looks like on me,” Cleopatra told viewers.
Modeling the stylish look, she said: “Firstly, it’s too big, I bought a 22 but it’s way too big. Let’s just tuck it under the arms to hold it there.”
The TikToker also pointed out that the length of the PrettyLittleThing dress was “way too long.”
She explained: “It’s cutting me at a point that makes me just look like a weird in of shape.”
However, Cleopatra concluded that the bargain buy would look good after she touched it up.
“I think I’d add straps, it needs something to hold it up. And I would shorten it. Just imagine it with straps and cut off just below the knee, I think that’s far more flattering,” she said.
For her second look, Cleopatra showed her followers the black velvet underwired midi dress with a cross front, $62.
“This is meant to be the more modest of the two. I’m not sure I could go out like this,” she told her followers.
The TikTok user added: “I just feel like maybe I wouldn’t feel very secure in this.”
Cleopatra explained that she had been intending to wear the dress to a first date but was worried it would give the wrong impression.
“If I turned up to a first date in this, they’re going to think I’m totally up for it, aren’t they?” she joked.
The fashion expert concluded: “I do like it, maybe I could fashion some kind of mesh underlay for it.”
TikTok users took to the comments section to vote on their favorite look.
“Both dresses are beautiful! That second has me. I need to get one now!” said one viewer.
Another follower wrote: “I love the second one, I think it supports enough.”
“Ooooooo! That second one is money! Gorgeous!” commented a third person.
