just now (1755+ words) It really did take two Olsen twins to film Full House. Mary-Kate Olsen and Ashley Olsen famously split the role of Michelle Tanner on the long-running sitcom from the ages of nine months to nine years old, but it turns out that they didn't equally enjoy filming. Jodie Sweetin and Andrea Barber'who played Stephanie Tanner and Kimmy Gibbler on the show, respectively'explained the dynamic during a recent episode of their How Rude, Tanneritos podcast. "Was there ever a point when the directors would favor working with one twin over the other and give them more time on set?" a fan asked, as read by Andrea during the November episode.

1+ min ago (587+ words) The Consumer Duty, introduced in 2023 by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), sets a higher standard of care that firms must deliver to retail customers. The FCA has recently published a series of high-level considerations aimed at streamlining regulatory requirements and improving efficiency for firms. Following feedback from its regulatory summit in July 2025 calling for clearer guidance and greater consistency on the scope of the Duty, the FCA has adopted a four-point action plan. This is designed to remove disproportionate burdens from wholesale firms and give firms confidence to act proportionately. These amendments intend to ensure that opted-up investors are not superficially satisfying the elective professional investor criteria in COBS 3.5. Opted-up investors will be obliged to inform firms of changes affecting their categorisation in order to protect the investor's interests, while firms will be required to keep adequate supporting records their…...

1+ min ago (539+ words) A Carmel Mountain Ranch elementary school that was threatened with mass shootings and violence was at the center of a new bill recently signed into law that criminalizes targeted threats to institutions, buildings and campuses. Signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom on Oct. 11, Senate Bill 19 closes a legal loophole and allows violent threats made against schools, workplaces, houses of worship and other public gathering spaces to be more fully prosecuted. Assemblymember Darshana Patel, D-San Diego, who co-authored the bill, said the previous law was ambiguous as to whether someone could be criminally prosecuted if the threat was made against an institution rather than a specific person. The issue gained attention after a man in her district, Lee Lor, 40, sent an email saying he was going to commit mass shootings at Shoal Creek Elementary School. Prosecutors said it was one of 400 emails…...
