The Millionaire has announced on its social media the additions of Juan Carlos Portillo and Matías Galarza Fonda, both players coming from Talleres de Córdoba. River Plate, which has had a very active transfer market, has officially announced the signing of two new reinforcements: Juan Carlos Portillo and Matías Galarza Fonda passed their respective medical exams and joined the Millionaire from Talleres de Córdoba. Juan Portillo, 25 years old, is a footballer known for his versatility, as he can play as a central defender, lateral defender, or even midfielder, offering many options to Marcelo Gallardo. Meanwhile, Matías Galarza Fonda is 23 years old and arrives to strengthen the midfield. He is left-footed, with good offensive qualities and has international experience, having played for Olimpia, Vasco da Gama, and Coritiba, as well as being part of the Paraguayan national team. According to the press, River has spent 8.5 million dollars net for both players: acquiring 90% of Portillo and 70% of Galarza Fonda. In the current market, River Plate had already added Maximiliano Salas (Racing), Juan Fernando Quintero (América de Cali), and Alex Woiski (Mallorca); along with the returns of Lautaro Rivero and Sebastián Boselli. River started the 2025 Clausura Tournament of the Professional League with two victories: against the reigning champion Platense and against Instituto. Their next match will be this Sunday against San Lorenzo at the Estadio Mâs Monumental for the third round of the championship. This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.

I'm a twin raising 2 sets of twins. I know I need to encourage their individuality.
Kim Perell has a fraternal twin sister with whom she always felt competitive. Now, Perell has boy/girl twins who are 11, and identical boys who are 6. She encourages each to find their own interests, and says a schedule is critical. This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Kim Perell, author of "Mistakes That Made Me A Millionaire." It has been edited for length and clarity. My family is knee-deep in twins. My twin sister and I look just alike, but we're not identical. I'm raising two sets of twins: boy/girl fraternal twins who are 11, and identical boys who are 6. My sister also has identical twin girls, who are 18. It's not just this generation: my grandpa was a twin, and my husband has twins in his family too. When we're together, it's a bit chaotic since everyone looks and sounds alike, but I love it. People often say, "I can't believe you have to deal with that," but I don't see twin life as a chore. I see it as a blessing, even though there are some downsides. Growing up as a twin was tough My sister was always smarter, faster, and stronger than me. When you have someone who shares your exact experiences and most of your DNA, you're going to compare. For me, comparing with her was a losing battle. She was so smart that she was bused to a gifted and talented program, while I went to regular school. When I was young, my mom shared the saying, "Comparison is the thief of joy." She encouraged me to find my own areas to shine rather than competing with my sister. I started doing individual sports like tennis or swimming, while my sister stood out in team sports. It taught me early on that it's okay to be different. I encourage individuality in my kids My 11-year-old son is very into sports, while my daughter loves the arts and reading. I like that they have different interests, even though it makes my life more hectic. We have four kids in four different activities, which is a logistical nightmare. At the same time, I accept that there's always going to be some competition between siblings, especially twins. Whether it's on the soccer field or in the classroom, they'll compare each other. We're realistic about that, but try to balance it out with activities that everyone loves and excels at, like surfing and wakeboarding. A schedule is critical My home runs like a well-oiled machine. Each night, we sit down for family dinner at 6 p.m.. By 7 p.m., we're usually doing family activities outside. Then, by 8 p.m., everyone is in bed and there's not a sound to be heard. Scheduling is just as important now as it was when the kids were babies. It keeps them focused and helps everyone know what to expect. I chose to have twins, but also got a surprise My husband and I went through a long IVF journey. During that time, I wanted to have twins, so we implanted two embryos when I got pregnant with my older kids. I was thrilled when an ultrasound confirmed there were two. But no one is crazy enough to opt for twins twice. It took me a while to convince my husband to have any more children, and when he agreed, we transferred only one embryo. By some miracle, it split, giving us our double twins. If we had looked at that as overwhelming, it would have been. Instead, we chose to see it as an efficient way to build our family. We couldn't even attempt to do it alone, so we relied on our village of family, friends, and hired help. Even though the kids are all in school today, our after-school nanny is critical. The bond that twins have is amazing. I have it with my sister, and I'm so glad that my nieces and my children get to experience it too.

ITV confirm Who Wants to be a Millionaire future with Jeremy Clarkson announcement
Jeremy Clarkson is poised to return for more episodes of ITV's Who Wants to be a Millionaire, as well as a brand new spin-off show. The star of Clarkson's Farm has been confirmed by bosses to host the UK premiere of Millionaire Hot Seat, in addition to an extended run of Who Wants to be a Millionaire and Celebrity Who Wants to be a Millionaire. Millionaire Hot Seat is a high-speed version of the global Millionaire format, demanding players to think strategically and respond under pressure as they race against the clock and each other. The show has enjoyed long-standing ratings success in Australia, with over 2,500 episodes broadcasted. A variation on the classic Millionaire format, it features six contestants competing for a chance to win big, but there's no room for hesitation. The rules are straightforward, but the gameplay is relentless. Contestants sit in a queue around the eponymous Hot Seat, but only the person in the Hot Seat can face Jeremy and answer questions on the Million Pound Money Ladder. The contestant must answer correctly to ascend the ladder, but if they answer incorrectly, they're out and the top prize decreases. If they pass, they remain in the game, but move to the back of the line and may not get another turn. If a passed question goes to the next player, the contestant must answer, Get it right, they stay. Get it wrong, they're out, reports Gloucestershire Live. Only the top prize remaining on the ladder can be won, and the player tackling that question must answer it correctly to take home the cash. Filming for the UK version is set to kick off this November, with a UK launch planned for 2026. ITV has also commissioned 19 new episodes of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, including seven celebrity specials. Katie Rawcliffe, ITV's Director of Entertainment and Daytime Commissioning, said: "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire has reached 18 million viewers on ITV so far this year alone." She added that commissioning a new spin-off format to capitalise further on the brand's success was an obvious decision, especially given the success of Millionaire Hot Seat in other territories. Matthew Worthy, Co-CEO of Stellify Media, said: "It is an honour to produce Millionaire for ITV." He described Millionaire Hot Seat as the main show's cheeky younger sibling, promising more Jeremy, more money-ladder moments, but with a whole new tone, pace, and feel.
