Reality TV star Matt Wright's trial dates locked in after Chris Wilson's death
Trial dates have finally been set for a Northern Territory reality TV star who is facing charges following the death of his mate. Matt Wright, also known as the Outback Wrangler, faces three counts of attempting to pervert the course of justice following a helicopter crash in February 2022 that killed his friend and co-star Chris 'Willow' Wilson. The trial is set to begin in the Northern Territory with the selection of the jury on July 30. Mr Wright was the host of Outback Wrangler, a reality series that saw him tracking down Australian wildlife in rural Australia. He also hosted the Netflix show Wild Croc Territory in 2022. Mr Wilson is alleged to have been suspended from the chopper on a crocodile egg collecting mission over the King River in Arnhem Land, when the helicopter crashed into the paperbark swamp, killing the 34-year-old father and critically injuring his 28-year-old pilot, Sebastian Robinson. It has been alleged Mr Wright was not properly following the maintenance rules for his helicopters, and attempted to cover this up in the wake of the crash. Mr Wright has strenuously denied all wrongdoing. The trial's start date has faced many delays, most recently in mid-June when Justice Alan Blow accepted Mr Wright's defence barrister Luke Officer's request to push the July 7 start date back to July 28, resulting in the departure of Crown prosecutor James Moore from the case due to a double booking. During a pre-trial hearing in Darwin Supreme Court on Tuesday, it was revealed neither the defence nor the prosecution were prepared for that date. 'Both of us agree that we are simply not ready to start on Monday,' defence barrister David Edwardson KC said. Crown prosecutor Jason Gullaci SC endorsed the delay, leading Justice Blow to set a new start date for Wednesday, July 30. The court was told there would be a pre-trial hearing on Monday, then the jury would be selected on Wednesday, with opening arguments beginning on Thursday. Mr Gullaci indicated one witness would be Mr Robinson, who was also seriously injured in the crash and allegedly involved in the cover-up. 'I think it is likely there will be at least one or two witnesses that will, to use the phrase 'set the scene', before we call upon (Mr Robinson),' he said.

Neuro Balance Therapy Update: Strongest Non-Clinical Reflex Routine for Seniors Concerned About Instability
Chicago, July 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Section 1 – Introduction: Reframing Fall Risk in Aging Populations Across the United States, fall-related injuries continue to be a top health concern among older adults. Data from the CDC reveals that one in four Americans aged 65+ experiences a fall each year, with over 800,000 requiring hospitalization. While often attributed to aging, recent biomechanical research highlights deeper underlying causes, including diminished sensory feedback from the feet—an overlooked but significant contributor to instability. With the search for safe, sustainable interventions intensifying, non-invasive options that align with lifestyle accessibility and neuroscience are drawing increased interest. The emergence of nerve-centric balance theories has led to a shift in how wellness providers approach fall prevention. Rather than relying solely on strength-based rehabilitation, newer approaches focus on restoring proprioceptive communication—how the body senses ground contact and responds reflexively to prevent imbalance. These trends are shaping consumer expectations around what it means to stay mobile, strong, and independent while aging. Neuro Balance Therapy is among the programs aiming to meet this demand with targeted, at-home methods based on new understandings of nerve-muscle coordination. To access the full program details and review the educational material, visit the official platform. Section 2 – Neuro Balance Therapy Program Update: Evolution of a Non-Clinical Stability Protocol In alignment with ongoing demand for at-home balance strategies, Neuro Balance Therapy has released a 2025 update to its protocol, reinforcing its educational foundation in proprioceptive activation and nerve-response science. Developed by Certified Balance Specialist Chris Wilson, the program continues to provide structured instruction centered around the stimulation of the deep peroneal nerve —a sensory-motor pathway shown in academic studies to play a critical role in foot reflexes and muscular coordination. Unlike strength-based fitness plans or conventional physiotherapy sessions, Neuro Balance Therapy centers on a simple, time-efficient daily ritual that requires no gym equipment, medication, or clinical oversight. This protocol uses a proprietary 'nerve wake-up' ball designed to apply patterned pressure across the plantar surface of the foot to help retrain dormant nerve endings that contribute to instability. The 2025 update maintains its original DVD format with guided video sequences segmented by progression level—beginner, intermediate, and advanced—while also offering a digital option for increased accessibility. The program is particularly tailored for adults over 60 who may experience heightened fear of falling, previous fall incidents, or early signs of reduced mobility. Program developer Wilson highlights that this expanded reach reflects an effort to ensure that aging adults have a reliable, educational tool to build confidence in movement. Neuro Balance Therapy remains grounded in a non-diagnostic framework and is presented as a supportive lifestyle enhancement based on emerging research in neuromechanics and gerontology. Section 3 – Trend Analysis: Public Concerns, Fall Anxiety, and Rising Interest in Home-Based Prevention Fall prevention has become one of the most searched-for health concerns among adults over 60, particularly those living independently or recovering from injury. A growing body of online discussions reveals a pattern of fear, hesitation, and uncertainty among older individuals—especially those who have experienced falls in the past or live with limited mobility. This trend is reflected not only in medical safety forums and caregiver blogs but also in keyword search data indicating a spike in interest around terms like 'fall-proof exercises,' 'senior balance support,' and 'home remedies for stability.' As mobility-related anxiety grows, consumers are increasingly looking for evidence-based yet low-barrier solutions that can be adopted from home. Rather than focusing solely on strength or endurance, public attention has turned to neuromuscular control—specifically the role of reflexive foot response in preventing unintentional falls. Individuals researching fall risk reduction now frequently encounter terms like 'proprioception,' 'nerve activation,' and 'sensorimotor training' as part of this broader narrative shift. Within this climate of heightened concern and education-seeking behavior, Neuro Balance Therapy has attracted attention for its practical alignment with these needs. Its core premise—that reawakening a dormant foot nerve can reengage natural reflexes and increase stability—reflects the growing interest in nervous system-focused approaches that move beyond traditional exercise or strength-building routines. While not positioned as a replacement for clinical care, the protocol meets a gap in the market where education, self-reliance, and routine movement rituals converge. Further information, including transparency disclosures and instructional methodology, is available through the authorized distribution channel. Section 4 – Spotlight on Proprioceptive Tools and Neuromuscular Activation At the core of the Neuro Balance Therapy protocol is a targeted tool: a specialized spiked ball engineered to stimulate sensory receptors along the sole of the foot. While deceptively simple in appearance, the design is based on emerging studies around tactile feedback and the role of deep nerves in foot stability. The tool is used in a brief 10-second morning ritual to activate what researchers identify as the deep peroneal nerve , which plays a critical role in reflexively engaging foot and lower leg muscles when movement begins or imbalance occurs. The textured surface of the ball is constructed with hardened crystalline polymers—chosen for their ability to provide a consistent, non-compressive stimulus during rolling motions. This form of physical input has been shown in third-party studies to support the re-engagement of sensory-motor pathways that often degrade with age, shoe use, or injury recovery. Rather than functioning as an exercise device, the tool acts as a proprioceptive primer—a method to help the body regain contact awareness with the ground and reestablish neuromuscular timing. This approach draws on insights from evolutionary biomechanics and comparative anthropology, such as those observed in populations accustomed to barefoot mobility. Researchers from Harvard and other institutions have noted that such individuals tend to exhibit stronger foot-ground sensory feedback and lower fall risk later in life—attributed not to strength but to continuous nerve engagement over time. While Neuro Balance Therapy does not claim to treat or diagnose any condition, the inclusion of this tactile tool is aligned with broader wellness trends that seek to improve functional confidence through non-invasive, neuro-supportive interventions. The emphasis on activating rather than strengthening mirrors a shift in how consumers and wellness educators approach stability challenges—one rooted in nervous system health rather than musculoskeletal strain. Section 5 – User Journey Narrative and Market Reception Ongoing online dialogue reveals a clear and consistent theme among older adults concerned with fall-related limitations: the emotional toll of instability often surpasses the physical impact. Reports across support forums and aging wellness platforms reflect a growing frustration with traditional mobility solutions that feel either inaccessible or incomplete. Many express the desire to feel 'safe in their own homes' or to reclaim confidence performing routine tasks without the looming anxiety of a fall. Within this discourse, Neuro Balance Therapy has emerged as a topic of interest, particularly among individuals seeking alternatives to large-scale physical therapy programs or invasive medical options. While individual testimonials are not cited in public releases for compliance reasons, general sentiment within the community has centered on the appeal of the program's simplicity, home-based accessibility, and the perceived novelty of targeting a sensory nerve often overlooked in standard fall prevention plans. The narrative tone of market discussions is often one of cautious optimism. Some describe past experiences with balance training programs that required gym access, heavy equipment, or high mobility thresholds—barriers that left many behind. In contrast, Neuro Balance Therapy is often mentioned as an entry-point protocol: a minimal-commitment routine that offers a sense of daily empowerment and a framework for understanding how balance and stability can be proactively supported without intensive oversight. This emotional connection—between fear, autonomy, and confidence—continues to shape the public reception of fall-prevention solutions. Neuro Balance Therapy's alignment with those concerns, coupled with its non-intimidating delivery format, has contributed to its sustained visibility among aging communities, wellness bloggers, and caregiving resource hubs. Section 6 – Availability and Transparency Statement The complete Neuro Balance Therapy program is currently accessible through the brand's official platform, where consumers can review educational materials and explore the science-backed methodology behind the protocol. The program is offered in both physical and digital formats to accommodate varying technology preferences and household setups. Each version includes access to guided instructional content and the proprietary nerve activation tool central to the protocol's design. All educational content within the program is intended strictly for informational purposes and is presented as a non-clinical, home-based resource. Neuro Balance Therapy does not diagnose or treat medical conditions, and individuals are advised to consult with their healthcare provider before beginning any new wellness regimen. Program components are designed to complement, not replace, broader wellness or physical rehabilitation efforts and are delivered in alignment with current best practices in consumer safety and instructional clarity. Further product details, background information, and transparency disclosures can be found on the official program website. Information about program structure, availability, and research alignment can be found at the official access site. Section 7 – Final Observations and Industry Context The current landscape of fall-prevention solutions reveals an evolving market shaped by demographic trends and wellness consumer expectations. As the population over 60 continues to expand, so does the need for preventative strategies that prioritize accessibility, non-invasiveness, and autonomy. With falls now recognized by public health institutions as both a clinical and lifestyle issue, there is increased scrutiny on programs that promise safety without sustainable, evidence-informed frameworks. Neuro Balance Therapy enters this environment with a measured approach—framing fall prevention not as a fitness goal, but as a daily practice of neurosensory engagement. Its emphasis on proprioceptive restoration, combined with an at-home format, reflects growing demand for solutions that bridge the gap between clinical rehabilitation and consumer-directed wellness. As the industry moves toward greater personalization in health routines, protocols that integrate functional simplicity with research-inspired insights are likely to gain traction. This update also underscores a wider trend: the reframing of mobility and balance not as age-related inevitabilities, but as skillsets that can be reinforced through nerve and muscle coordination. While more longitudinal research is warranted, early public interest in such targeted tools suggests a shift away from generalized exercise programs toward precision-oriented interventions. As balance science continues to develop, Neuro Balance Therapy positions itself as part of the broader movement redefining how older adults interact with their own mobility—through agency, awareness, and the reawakening of long-dormant neuromechanical responses. Section 8 – Public Commentary Theme Summary: Risk Awareness, Independence, and Program Accessibility Public conversations surrounding fall prevention continue to reveal a wide spectrum of experiences and emotions—ranging from fear and frustration to empowerment and cautious hope. A recurring discussion point in online forums and wellness communities is the fear of losing independence due to instability or past fall incidents. Many express concern over the limitations of traditional mobility programs, which often require clinical oversight, frequent appointments, or physical exertion that can feel overwhelming for individuals with existing discomfort or restricted movement. Some have noted the appeal of Neuro Balance Therapy for its non-strenuous routine and minimal space requirements. The fact that the program can be done while seated—without the need for specialized shoes, physical therapy appointments, or weight-bearing movement—has drawn interest among those recovering from injury or living alone. Skepticism also surfaces in certain segments of the discussion. A common question centers on whether a simple nerve-activation ritual could truly make a difference, particularly when contrasted with more robust physical therapy approaches. Others express concern over the proliferation of at-home solutions that appear promising but offer limited scientific transparency. However, the continued referencing of supporting studies on proprioception and deep nerve reflexes helps validate consumer interest and aligns with a trend toward self-education in aging wellness. Overall, public commentary reflects a desire for straightforward, low-barrier entry points into fall-prevention that emphasize autonomy, emotional reassurance, and ease of use. Neuro Balance Therapy's positioning within that dialogue—especially as it avoids over-promising outcomes—has enabled it to retain credibility while encouraging broader conversations about sensory-motor awareness as a foundation for lifelong mobility. About the Company Neuro Balance Therapy is a wellness education program founded with the goal of supporting older adults in regaining stability, confidence, and ease of movement through non-clinical, home-based strategies. Established by Certified Balance Specialist Chris Wilson, the program draws on over a decade of experience in balance instruction and proprioceptive training.

Derry spools sculpture disappoints some former ‘factory girls'
After decades of debate over how to honour the women who used to work in the city's shirt factories, Derry has produced a sculpture of three giant spools of thread cast in bronze. Ranging in height from 2 to 3.5 metres (6.5-11.5ft), the monuments loom over Harbour Square to recall an era when thousands of girls and women worked in dozens of factories that made the Northern Irish city a world leader in shirt production. However, some former workers are aghast and say the decision to use abstract symbols rather than female figures occludes their role from history. 'This gesture fell way short of what we hoped for – we feel airbrushed out of it,' Clare Moore told the BBC this week. Before the official unveiling last month, several former workers staged a protest and held a banner saying 'these factory girls say no'. There had been no proper consultation and the bronze spools did not accurately resemble the ones they used in the factories, they said. Derry city and Strabane district councils had hoped the £187,000 design would draw a line under a troubled 20-year stop-start quest to represent the city's industrial heritage with public art. The council called the artwork a 'fitting tribute' and said it had fully engaged with the former workers. Chris Wilson, the artist, said at least two years of consultations included a day-long workshop that showed a model of the artwork to dozens of former workers, who at that meeting raised no objections. 'They all seemed onboard with the idea,' Wilson told the Guardian. 'I've never worked on a project that had such an extensive and transparent process.' The sculptures are not figurative but 'almost anthropomorphic' in suggesting a group of people, with textures and shadows to evoke memory, he said. 'The factories are all gone but what came across to me, in talks with the ladies, was their memories and recollections and friendships.' Sign up to Art Weekly Your weekly art world round-up, sketching out all the biggest stories, scandals and exhibitions after newsletter promotion One of the bronze spools emits what appears to be a loose thread around the base but is in fact quotes from some former workers, Wilson said. 'I've been told that public art is like sport. Everybody has opinion and is entitled to have an opinion.'

Factory girls feel 'airbrushed' out of tribute artwork
Some former shirt factory workers in Londonderry have said they feel "airbrushed" out of an artwork created in their honour as it does not depict actual £187,000 design is based on the shape of spools of thread as used in the shirt factories of Derry, which was a world leader in shirt production for much of the last century with the factory girls the driving City and Strabane District Council said it had fully engaged with the women who worked in the factories and described it is a "fitting tribute", but some of them is just the latest controversy over plans for a permanent tribute to the shirt factory girls, which have continued for 20 years. The new artwork is part of a wider public realm scheme at Harbour Square, near the Guildhall, that was funded by the Department for the Communities (DfC). 'Lost Opportunity' Clare Moore was 15-years-old when she started working in the City told BBC Radio Foyle's North West Today programme she felt the artwork was not representative of the level of female involvement in the industry."The factory girls just didn't make quality shirts that went around the world, they kept Derry afloat for generations."This gesture fell way short of what we hoped for – we feel airbrushed out of it."There was no meaningful consultation." Factory girls 'integral' to the process The artist Chris Wilson said he did "all he could" to ensure the factory girls' views were incorporated into his creative process, which took two Wilson said some of them told him they like the sculpture and were very "on board" with it."I think the artwork does acknowledge the skill of the factory workers," he said, adding that the sculpture was "gender neutral". Female Visibility Anya Pearson is the trustee and founder of Visible Women UK and co-ordinated the project which led to a statue of palaeontologist Mary Anning being unveiled in Lyme Regis in 2022."This was such a brilliant opportunity to give the women of Derry an actual statue that represented them," she told BBC News NI."Fifty percent of our population are women, but when you look at civic monuments, 95 per cent of them are to named men."It is a symbolic annihilation of women within our landscapes." In a statement, a spokesperson for Derry City and Strabane District Council said it had fully engaged throughout all stages of the process with local representatives from the factory girls.A council spokesperson said a date for the formal launch had yet to be confirmed, but it was hoped it would be soon. Why has it taken so long to erect the sculpture? A different factory girls sculpture was shelved back in 2018 when councillors were told it would cost more than £330,000 to that time Stormont's Department for Communities, which funded the project, said it no longer represented value for Louise Walsh had started work on the factory girls artwork in sculpture was beset by problems since being commissioned by the then Derry City was to be located at King Street in the was then changed to Harbour Square due to planning problems and the move required a redesign of the original piece that meant costs cost £85,000 of public money before the unfinished work was for this new piece of public art were announced in 2020.
