Dans une ambiance électrique, le Lycée Tokoin 1 a confirmé sa suprématie en remportant une nouvelle victoire éclatante sur le score de 600 contre 250. Porté par son champion du jour, Roland Doh-Keteawu, élu « homme du match », l’établissement consolide sa position de favori dans cette compétition d’excellence. Les encadreurs et les élèves, visiblement émus, ont salué cette performance tout en félicitant leurs adversaires du CPL NEEA, qui, malgré la défaite, ont démontré une belle combativité. Le vainqueur repart avec une cagnotte de 150.000 francs CFA et remettra son titre en jeu le samedi 11 octobre 2025 à 10h00, en direct sur SOS Docteur TV (rediffusions dimanche et mercredi à 15h00 GMT). Le CPL NEEA, pour sa part, empoche une enveloppe de 25.000 francs CFA. Outre la compétition, une kermesse a animé la journée, offrant de nombreux lots aux participants. Ce projet d’excellence et d’émulation scolaire bénéficie du soutien du Ministère de l’Enseignement Primaire et Secondaire et de l’UNFPA. À travers ses sept axes stratégiques, le projet « Clubs Santé SOS Docteur TV » vise à promouvoir la culture générale en santé, la santé sexuelle et reproductive, le mentorat, le leadership et le bien-être des jeunes. Véritable école de vie, Génie Imhotep se positionne comme un creuset d’éveil, de savoir et d’engagement citoyen pour la jeunesse togolaise.

Star unrecognisable with slimmed-down look

The 41-year-old actor looked unrecognisable while shooting scenes for his forthcoming movie, Cut Off. Hill, who was photographed alongside co-star Kristen Wiig, showed off his strikingly slimmed-down frame as he stepped out of and into his trailer in character. The Superbad star wore a tight leopard-print turtleneck tucked into low-rise skinny jeans adorned with long black fringe. His black belt accentuated his tiny waist. Hill, who also wrote and is directing the comedy, completed his ’70s-inspired look with a shaggy blond wig and thick-rimmed glasses. He carried various beverages and reviewed his script in between takes. While Hill’s weight has fluctuated in the past, he has seemingly been able to maintain a svelte body for about a decade. The 21 Jump Street star first slimmed down dramatically in 2011, losing 40 pounds (18kg) with the help of a nutritionist and a Japanese diet. By the fall of 2014, he had regained quite a bit of weight, which Page Six reported was the result of binge eating. “He’s in a bad place, which is just making the cycle worse,” sources told us at the time. The actor continued to put on pounds through the following spring but began slimming down again two years later. He lost even more weight and showed off his thin frame the following summer; he was even thinner by the winter. Hill addressed his weight fluctuation in a 2018 interview with Ellen DeGeneres, saying he had “spent most of [his] young adult life listening to people say that [he] was fat and gross and unattractive.” He added, “I really believe everyone has a snapshot of themselves from a time when they were young that they’re ashamed of. For me, it’s that 14-year-old overweight and unattractive kid who felt ugly to the world, who listened to hip-hop and who wanted so badly to be accepted by this community of skaters.” While he was still “under construction” at the time, Hill confessed that he was starting to understand the concept of self-love. The Wolf of Wall Street star appears to have lost even more weight since then and currently looks to be the skinniest he has ever been This article originally appeared in Page Six and was reproduced with permission

Taylor Swift shuts down “shockingly offensive” theory about her career

“That’s a shockingly offensive thing to say,” Swift told BBC Radio 2 host Scott Mills, who brought up fans worrying she’s going to stop making music after she ties the knot. “It’s not why people get married, so they can quit their job,” she added in the Monday interview. Never miss the latest entertainment news from Australia and around the world — download the news.com.au app direct to your phone. MORE: Inside Taylor Swift’s $230m property empire “I think the fans were just panicking,” Mills told the Grammy Award winner, who acknowledged that the Swifties “love to panic sometimes.” Swift added, “It’s like, I love the person that I am with because he loves what I do, and he loves how much I am fulfilled by making art and making music.” The Opalite singer, who put out her latest album on Friday, also explained how Kelce, 36, supports her career. “That’s the coolest thing about Travis; he’s so passionate about what he does that me being passionate about what I do, it connects,” she said. “There’s no point in time where he’s gonna be like, ‘I’m really upset that you’re still making music.’ Imagine him saying, ‘The music that I signed up for, that I knew you love, I thought you were going to stop doing that.’” “It just is the most fun thing in the world to support each other, and the polarity of how different our jobs are,” she continued about her relationship with the Kansas City Chiefs tight end. “But there’s a lot of similarities, too.” “We both as a living, as a job, as a passion, perform for three and a half hours in NFL stadiums. We both do three and a half hour shows to entertain people,” Swift noted. “For him, it’s practice; for me, it’s rehearsal. For him, it’s a game; for me, it’s a show. We just call them different things. We both have teams. It’s a very similar thing.” Swift announced her engagement to the football star on Aug. 26. The lovebirds shared photos of Kelce down on one knee and Swift with a large, shiny engagement ring in a colourful garden. The billionaire songwriter teased the pair’s wedding plans when she appeared on The Graham Norton Show on Friday to promote her album. “You’ll know,” Swift said. “I want to do the album stuff first, and the wedding is what happens after in terms of planning.” “I think it will be fun to plan,” she added. Some of Swift’s songs on her new 12-track album appear to reference Kelce, including The Fate of Ophelia, Opalite, Eldest Daughter, Wi$h Li$t and Wood.

Noiseworks frontman Jon Stevens returns with first new album in eight years

His fascination with what are now called UAPs (unidentified aerial phenomena) is shared in the collage art cover of Shimmer, his first new studio album in eight years. The 64-year-old rocker, who grew up on the 60s and 70s sci-fi television classics featuring silvery flying saucers that transported aliens to earth and humans into space, said he saw an unexplained object pulsating across the sky while on holidays in Hawaii several years ago. “I’ve always been intrigued by what’s up there, the stars, UFOs. I could say I’ve seen one, well I’ve see something I couldn’t explain,” Stevens said. “A number of years ago in Hawaii something flew across my vision going in an upwards trajectory, and it wasn’t an aircraft. It was pulsating, it was a very strong light. “I’ve always sort of thought there’s got to be something else. We as humans, we are too arrogant to think we’re the only ones; it’s a big old galaxy up there.” The lead singer of Noiseworks, and INXS for three years after Michael Hutchence’s death, is a rock warrior who prefers life on the road to the recording studio. It was while touring with Rod Stewart a couple of years ago and hanging out with the British rocker’s longtime keyboardist Kevin Savigar and guitarist Emerson Swinford that a plan was hatched to regroup in Los Angeles to write together. Stevens found himself inspired by love, loss and redemption as he worked with his new writing team on crafting songs that could fit with his extensive catalogue of hits. The love songs, including the gorgeous Your Bubble, are no doubt inspired by his partner of almost a decade, billionaire businesswoman Heloise Pratt. Stevens said he didn’t find it tough to put a new spin on pop music’s oldest muse. “Not when you’re in love. When you’re negative and you fall out of love, that seeps out you too. And I’ve been through all of those emotions,” he said. “I’m a pretty porous person so I guess instead of going to a shrink or whatever, my guitar and my songwriting is my own shrink, it helps me deal with whatever problems I’m going through. Or capture the things that are going great. “So songs like Your Bubble are just a way of putting more positive, beautiful songs into the world. This album has got a couple of dark songs on there but otherwise it’s a really happy album because I’m happy.” Stevens fears he is among the last of a dying breed, the rock troubadour who will play anywhere that people will come to see him. He is a staple on mini-festivals alongside his mates Jimmy Barnes and Kate Ceberano and seems to be on a perpetual loop of Australia with his own tours or opening for international acts. “The live musician, we are a bit of a dying breed in a way, coming from the era when live music was so prevalent. I’m out there doing it because I can, because I’m fit enough and I love to perform, I love singing,” he said. “And I love the joy that it brings to people. And when you’re older, you’re not sort of brought down by all that other extraneous stuff. It’s just for the sheer love of performing and playing.” To celebrate his return with Shimmer, and his love of gigging, Stevens called up a couple of mates to join him on his own mini-festival tour called the Summer of Love Rockfest. As well as Wolfmother and Screaming Jets, he will pick an emerging band to open the shows. “We’re all got the same billing, the same (font) size on the poster; I hate all that crap that goes on, on those big festivals, where some act’s name has got to be bigger and everyone else is smaller – it’s a big wank,” Stevens said. “People want to come and see the bands, so put their names up, all even, no one’s bigger than anyone else. I’m very grateful that they want to come out and tour.” Shimmer is out now. For all Summer of Love Rockfest dates and to buy tickets from October 10, go to jonstevens.com

Manitoba legislature approves $18,000 fine for former premier Stefanson

Schnoor said Stefanson tried to get a mining project approved after her Progressive Conservatives lost the 2023 election and before the NDP government could be sworn in. Schnoor said the attempt amounted to improperly furthering the interests of other people and went against a long-standing parliamentary principle that forbids outgoing governments from making major decisions. Stefanson has said she was acting in the public interest, had no personal stake in the project, and no licence was issued in the end. The Progressive Conservatives, now in Opposition, voted in favour of the report alongside the NDP and have said they’re not helping Stefanson pay the fine.

EXCLUSIVE: Princess Diana 30th Death Anniversary War Erupts Between Princes William and Harry as Future King is 'Refusing to Involve Meghan Markle in Any Official Commemorations'

A new rift is said to have erupted between Prince William and Prince Harry ahead of the 30th anniversary of Princess Diana's death – with sources telling RadarOnline.com the future king has ruled out any involvement from Meghan Markle in official plans to honor their late mother. Harry, 41, is developing a documentary project to celebrate Diana's humanitarian legacy, timed to coincide with three decades since her passing in 2027.William Reportedly Bans Meghan From Tribute PlansBut insiders say his hopes of collaboration with his brother have hit a wall, with William, 43, described as "deeply uncomfortable" about Markle's potential participation – especially after she provoked outrage in recent days by posting a tasteless video of herself with her feet up in her limo during Paris Fashion Week as she was driven close to Diana's tunnel crash scene. A royal source said: "Harry's been talking about marking the anniversary in a meaningful way – not just as a family moment, but as a public tribute to Diana's work. He's been hoping William might join him, but the tension over Meghan makes that almost impossible. William has made it clear that anything official connected to their mother can't involve her." The Diana 30th anniversary year is expected to be a significant one for both brothers. It will coincide with the return of the Invictus Games to the UK, a cornerstone of Harry's charitable work. According to those close to him, the Duke of Sussex has been seeking to use the moment as an opportunity to mend fences and "come home without drama."Harry's Push for Reconciliation Meets ResistanceOne source said: "Harry really believes it's what his and William's mother would have wanted – for them to come together, at least for something as important as this. He's open to reconciliation, but it's a delicate balance. He knows how raw things still are." The brothers' estrangement dates back to Harry and Markle's decision to step down from royal duties in 2020 and move to California. Since then, their relationship has deteriorated further following the release of Harry & Meghan – the 2022 Netflix documentary in which the couple accused palace officials of leaking and manipulating press coverage.William and Kate Stand Firm on Diana’s LegacyWilliam, who has rarely commented publicly on the fallout, is said to have been particularly angered by what he sees as attempts to link Meghan's public image to Diana's legacy. "He thinks the comparisons are completely out of line," said one palace insider. "He's incredibly proud of his mother's legacy and very protective of how it's honored, which is why he doesn't want Meghan tied to any official tributes." The sentiment is reportedly shared by William's wife Catherine, Princess of Wales, 43, who has supported her husband's stance. "Kate's always hoped the brothers could find their way back to each other," said a family source. "But when it comes to Meghan, the wounds haven't healed. She'll only be around her if duty absolutely requires it."Harry Moves Forward Alone With Diana DocumentaryDespite the family's resistance, Harry is pressing ahead with his plans. The upcoming project is expected to highlight Diana's humanitarian achievements, including her groundbreaking advocacy for HIV and AIDS awareness – a cause echoing in one of the Sussexes' forthcoming Netflix short films, focusing on health initiatives in Uganda's Masaka region. A production source said: "Harry would like the Palace's support, but he's prepared to move forward on his own if he has to. Everything he's planning is about honoring Diana's legacy, and he still hopes his family will join him one day. For now, though, it seems he'll be standing alone."

Seasons change and so do we | A Piece of Mae’s Mind

I spend all year waiting for fall — it’s such a beautiful time of year. And in a city like Boston, fall is not just a season but an experience, greeting locals like a familiar face and enthralling new students and visitors with its beauty. Oliver explores this feeling of completeness in “Song for Autumn,” even though it consists of leaves dying, birds migrating and ponds freezing over. In autumn, the world enters a state of calm and completion.

You define your own ‘college experience’

There is too much expectation to get the “college experience.” In reality, your college experience is what you want it to be. We are in an awkward transition between children and adults — a time when we’re supposed to find ourselves. But we can not grow if we try to fit in a box that everyone else thinks of as the ideal college life. Society’s idea of the “college experience” presents a microcosm of a bigger issue. Humans associate chaos with excitement and simplicity with failure. However, living a peaceful routine does not mean your life isn’t fulfilling.
