LEGO creates She Built That campaign to empower a new generation of girl builders
It's always been said that girls grow up with Barbie dolls and boys grow up with LEGO but over the years, this stereotype has changed and LEGO is looking to redefine and reclaim what it means to be a builder, and celebrate the female creativity. Image courtesy of LEGO. In a recent global research commissioned by The LEGO Group, it found that 80% of adults polled believed that society still viewed boys as naturally better builders than girls; which often led to girls and mothers undervaluing their own building skills compared to boys and their fathers. The study also uncovered a confidence gap in children, with girls rating themselves lower in building abilities than boys, and finding it hard to think of themselves as someone who is good at building things. Through the She Built That campaign, The LEGO Group aims to challenge societal stereotypes that stifle any girl's potential and inspire the next generation of female builders. Image courtesy of LEGO. With creative play, LEGO hopes to unlock every girl's creative confidence and inspire them to see themselves as creators and pioneers through their bigger portfolio of LEGO that caters to diverse interests and passions so that girls can create endless worlds across various themes such as LEGO Friends, Disney, Botanicals, Creator, and Gabby's Dollhouse. 42671 LEGO Friends Plant Café & Flower Shop.

Nugget ice makers are trending for a reason
There's nothing quite like the crunch of Sonic nugget ice. After all, those slushies and drinks are a big reason why the iconic fast-food chain has remained popular for decades. Now that summer has arrived, the thought of having some of the cult-favorite ice at home is pretty appealing. Luckily, there is a variety of nugget ice makers you can buy for your home that range from top-of-the-line to super affordable, so there's one for everyone. We've rounded up our favorites, so the only thing left to do is decide which cool drink you'll be enjoying on those warm sunny ice, also known as pellet ice, has a rough side and a smooth side because it's made of ice flakes rather than a single cube. This is why it's much lighter than regular ice, has an airier texture and doesn't melt as fast in your drink, which eliminates the hassle of a watered-down beverage. This makes it perfect for cocktails and mixed drinks, but for most, the chewable, soft texture is what is so appealing. EUHOMY Nugget Ice Maker This ice maker can make up to 34 pounds in one day. It features a clear bin that lets you see how much ice is available and a removable basket. The ice is ready in six minutes. Frigidaire Countertop Crunchy Chewable Nugget Ice Maker This chic nugget ice maker is slim enough to fit on a countertop and yet makes up to 44 pounds of ice a day. The bin holds three pounds at a time, and the ice is ready within 15 minutes. Silonn Countertop Ice Maker This affordable nugget ice maker makes two types of cubes and has a handle for easy transport and a self-cleaning basket. Joy Pebble Nugget Ice Machine This ice maker operates quietly, has a light to indicate when the bin is full and features a self-cleaning mode that starts at the touch of a button. GE Profile Opal Countertop Nugget Ice Maker with Side Tank This nugget ice maker might cost more, but it's worth the splurge. It recirculates melted ice, which means clumping isn't an issue. It takes less than 15 minutes to produce the first batch of ice, it makes up to 24 pounds daily and it has an indicator light that'll let you know you're running low.

Sharks surface top after see-saw
It was a game where you lost count of the lead changes. But the Southland Sharks led when it mattered most to record a 91-80 win against the Otago Nuggets in Invercargill last night. Keylan Boone drained consecutive deep triples and Caleb Asberry finished things off the glass, and then swung from the hoop to extend the lead 85-77 in the fourth. The Nuggets struggled at the end of the fourth for the scoreline to flatter the Sharks. Boone finished with 31 points, Asberry notched 26 points and Josiah Allick had a big double of 12 points and 19 rebounds, 14 of those on offence. The Nuggets, in their first game since parting ways with Jose Perez, looked like they had more flow offensively and grew throughout the game. Don Carey jun, who finished with 26 points, got things started. The Sharks found themselves on the back foot, conceding several fouls to let the Nuggets in. It was a messy start from both sides and a low-scoring affair for much of the quarter, but the Nuggets clogged the paint to make it tough for the home side. Allick was the big target for the Sharks and Asberry banged a triple to level. The Nuggets moved the ball about the arc, had some nice touches, and their balance caught the Sharks on the hop. But the accuracy was slightly awry from both sides. Sam Timmins, in his first game for the Sharks after returning from Japan, swung the ball to the corner, finding Boone alone for another triple. Carey jun drove hard to the paint with two seconds left on the clock and tied the game 16-16. The Nuggets muscled up on defence and made the passage to the paint hard for the Sharks. But neither team helped themselves, leaving shots short in what became a frustrating period. Darcy Knox finally banged down the Nuggets first triple — after they had been 0 for 13 from deep — and opened the second quarter scoring nearly three minutes in. Caleb Smiler came up with a big play, stealing the ball off the Sharks restart. He dished it off to Bardsley and the centurion made no mistake to lead 21-16. The Sharks knuckled down on defence with Allick picking up offensive crumbs. Boone added a couple from the stripe to regain the lead and Jonathan Janssen, who finished with a double of 26 points and 10 rebounds for the Nuggets, banked a tough finish in the paint for another lead change. Carey jun drained a corner three, Christian Martin came up with a steal and Patrick Freeman finished with the dunk. Nothing could separate the two heading into the break 37-37. Asberry found Timmins in the paint for the former Nugget to find his first of the night to drop. Burton found a mid-range jumper to jump out to a seven-point lead, the largest for the Sharks of the game. Freeman banked a triple and Carey jun dropped it off to Janssen in the paint to close things up. The Nuggets broke the deadlock at the break for the first time and led 62-59 at the third-quarter break. NBL The scores Southland Sharks 91 Keylan Boone 31, Caleb Asberry 26 Otago Nuggets 80 Don Carey jun 26, Jonathan Jassen 21 Quarter scores: Otago Nuggets 16-16, 37-37, 62-59
