CAGUA, Venezuela, Sept 1(Reuters) — Gamer Gabriel Parra was ecstatic to see himself hailed as the «Venezuelan star» after scoring the fastest time in an international Formula 1 eSports racing competition in May.
The dream of earning a living as a professional gamer is particularly resonant for many young people in Venezuela given the sparse opportunities otherwise available in a country with a minimum monthly salary equivalent to about $22 a month.
The Brazilian model said: ‘I’ve done my part, which is [to] be there for [Tom]. I moved to Boston, and I focused on creating a cocoon and a loving environment for my children to grow up in and to be there supporting him and his dreams.’
The scheme is focused on making it ultra-convenient for Australian consumers to recycle batteries and drastically reduce the estimated 90 per cent of batteries that wound up in landfill before the scheme began.
Now in his 10th season, Green has four NBA titles coming off last June’s Finals victory over Boston. The problem is he has occasionally bumped heads with teammates, such as an infamous on-court spat with Kevin Durant in 2017, and even Kerr has been caught complaining about the former Defensive Player of the Year.
He is one of some 3,000 young Venezuelans competing in the multi-million dollar «eSports» industry, a lucrative business with international signings, prizes and millions of viewers which has started to boom in the Andean nation, despite economic chaos, poor internet connection, power failures and local restrictions on war games.
There’s still a long way to go, but it aims to end the disposal of toxic batteries at landfill sites and recover valuable elements that are in limited supply: copper, cobalt, nickel, manganese and the so-called metal of the decade, lithium.
But while most parents recognize brands like Monster and Red Bull as energy drinks, experts warn gaming supplements could be mistaken for a protein shake because they are diluted in a gym shaker bottle.
Bündchen was also recently spotted in the parking lot of her gym, along with her children Benjamin, 12, and Vivian, 9, on Tuesday with her luxurious diamond ring missing from her left hand as she locked the car door.

Before Brady’s big game on Sunday, a video was posted by posted by the Buccaneers showed him hugging his three children — his son Jack, 15, who he shares with Blue Bloods star Bridget Moynahan, and his two kids with Gisele: Benjamin, 12, and Vivian, 9.
«This growth is also leading to concerns about the impact of new energy systems on the long-term availability of resources and the economic and environmental impacts of the extraction and use of critical metals and other elements.
Dr Cecilia Melendres, a pediatric sleep expert at Johns Hopkins University, told DailyMail.com that the rise in video game supplements was ‘definitely is a major factor’ in the current sleep crisis facing among US children and teens.
«We recognise this has presented issues for the recycling industry as it scales up and adjusts to a role in product stewardship with its increased focus on transparency and accountability,» he wrote in a report on the scheme’s first six months of operation.
«The truth is that when I saw the result… it was something magical, surprising, a dream I always had as a child that came true,» said 23-year-old Parra, who lives in central-Venezuela’s Aragua state, and started playing video pkv Games at the age of four.
Professional gamers who aspire to become international superstars train an average of 40 hours a week. It’s a dream job for many teenagers, offering such advantages of recurring income, the ability to work from home and combining hobby with career.
Gisele was also conspicuously missing from the sidelines — and the stands — of Brady’s first home game with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in September. But insiders say she was never set to attend the game.

Many believed that Brady re-entering the NFL became a bone of contention for Bündchen. However, their rift is completely unrelated to the former Patriots’ star’s football career, DailyMail.com can confirm.
‘And it’s nice when I walk down the hallway and I hear, ‘Waddup Beast?» For whatever reason, he calls me ‘Beast’ all the time. I don’t think I give off the beast vibe, but and we’ll just take it day by day.’
The Brazilian supermodel, 42, and her seven-time Super Bowl winning husband, 45, have been at the center of speculation after it was revealed they are currently living in separate houses and are allegedly gearing up high-powered lawyers to initiate their divorce.
