Linex Sunday, Youngkiller Team Up for New Jam ‘Leo Leo’
19 May 2020
By Branice Nafula
Renowned Tanzanian musician Linex Sunday has teamed up with rapper Youngkiller for a new song dubbed ‘Leo leo’.
‘Leo Leo’ is a song about a certain girl that broke a man’s heart by wanting more than she had.He describes how she started off by loving her despite her short comings.
“Alianza uqueen kwenye video, akasahau maisha ni kama kioo ukicheka anakuchekea,ukinuna anakununia, jinsi nilivyompenda nikalenga yee akaenda, nenda mwana kwenda…..” the song’s lyrics read in part.
On his part, Yongkiller comes through with some amazing chants, describing her beauty to perfection, and how he is ready to be with her today (Leo Leo).
Linex has been on the low musically till recently when he released his track called ‘Msanii Njaa’; a song that revolves around the plight of many musicians.
A part from ‘Msanii Njaa’, Linex Sunday is widely known for his song dubbed ‘Salim’ featuring Diamond Platnumz.
The collaboration with Diamond introduced him to the Tanzanian music industry, and created a name for him in the Bongo music industry.
So far, only the audio is out, with the video expected later, probably after the corona pandemic is dealt with.

Liverpool legend Sir Kenny Dalglish was confirmed positive for coronavirus after he was admitted to hospital this week. The 69-year-old, possibly the most iconic figure in Reds ‘history, went to the hospital on Wednesday to seek treatment for an infection that, according to the club, required intravenous antibiotics. In compliance with existing protocols, Dalglish was eventually screened for COVID-19, despite having previously shown no signs of illness. The test result was positive, but it remains asymptomatic.
Liverpool’s statement states that, prior to his hospital admission, Sir Kenny had decided to voluntarily isolate himself for longer than the prescribed time, along with his family, and that “he will advise everyone to obey the appropriate government and expert advice in the days and weeks ahead.”
He added: “He would like to take this opportunity to thank the brilliant workers of the GSP,
whose devotion, courage and sacrifice should be the object of the nation’s attention at this extraordinary time.
“He will also suggest that they are given the space to do their work during what
is an incredibly difficult period for them and that the privacy of their own families is respected.
He’s looking forward to getting home soon. Arguably the greatest player in Liverpool’s history, Dalglish made 515 appearances for the club after signing from Celtic in 1977, scoring 172 goals.
He won five league titles, three European Cups and four League Cups as a player, and was twice named FWA Footballer of the Year. He took over as a manager in 1985 and led his side to
their first and only League and FA Cup doubles in his first season in charge. He would add two more league titles and another FA Cup to his list, but it was his role in the wake of the 1989 Hillsborough tragedy that cemented his reputation at Anfield. Dalglish resigned as manager in February 1991 and went on to lead Blackburn Rovers to the Premier League title in 1995.
Having returned to Liverpool as a club ambassador, he made a spectacular return to the manager’s seat in January 2011, initially on an interim basis. He was assigned to the 2011-12 campaign on a permanent basis and led the club to the League Cup crown. Liverpool was also beaten in the FA Cup final, but Dalglish was sacked that summer after a disappointing league season. In October 2013, he returned to the Reds as a non-executive director, and in October 2017 Anfield’s Centenary Stand has renamed The Sir Kenny Dalglish Stand in recognition of the club’s excellent service.

Liverpool Opinion: Why the Reds should revive their interest in Ciro Immobile
Back in January, Italian news outlet Il Messaggero claimed Liverpool were interested in Lazio hitman Ciro Immobile. However, a deal didn’t materialise and the striker stayed put at Lazio.
The Italy international, 29, has been one of the most potent strikers in Serie A in recent years. Since moving to Lazio in 2016, Ciro Immobile has scored goals for fun in the Serie A. He has enjoyed another solid season with Lazio, bagging 18 goals across all competitions in 2018/19.
Now operating at the peak of his career, Ciro Immobile, certainly deserves one last big transfer. Considering his goalscoring exploits in Italy in the last few years, Liverpool must reignite their interest in the 29-year-old and sign him this summer.
The Reds concluded their top-flight campaign with a 2-0 victory over Wolves to end the season on 97 points but, agonisingly, one point behind champions Manchester City despite just one defeat all season.
But they still have the opportunity to end the season with some long-craved silverware, as Jurgen Klopp’s men take on Tottenham in the Champions League final in Madrid.
Once again the onus of scoring goals have fallen on Liverpool’s famed trio of Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah.
They were excellent this campaign and their consistent form are one of the reasons why the Reds came so closer to winning the Premier League. Even with the trio having fired, Klopp is short of competent replacement attackers should one of them get injured next season.
Divock Origi proved his worth in gold by chipping in with crucial goals this past season but he cannot be relied upon to lead the attack in Firmino’s absence. Daniel Sturridge is very likely to leave Anfield this summer, while Xherdan Shaqiri hasn’t quite made much of a difference.
That’s when the signing of Immobile would make sense for Liverpool. He is a proper no.9 who can lead the line, run into the channels and finish off chances inside the box. The 29-year-old is superb at linking up with his teammates, which would see the likes of Mane, Salah and Firmino thrive playing alongside the Italian striker.

The Italy international loves to make penetrating runs in behind the opposition backline and can also release his teammates through on goal with incisive passes. Plus, Immobile is strong in the air and his off the ball work-rate would make him a perfect fit for Klopp’s style of play at Anfield.
Liverpool do require a clinical no.9, who can either play with the other three forwards or make an impact from the bench. That being said, Klopp’s chances of challenging for the Premier League title again might get enhanced by bringing Immobile to Anfield.

The dangers of mould in your home and how an air purifier can help
So, what exactly is mould? How can it affect your health, what can you do about mould in your home and does using an air purifier for mould help?
What is mould?
Mould is a microscopic fungus that breaks down dead organic matter and usually grows in damp and humid places. It’s common to find mould growing on walls, ceilings and around windows, as the fungus feeds on materials like wood, wallpaper and carpet.There are several types of mould, some more dangerous to human health than others, such as Pathogenic Mould and Toxigenic Mould. As mould grows, it releases reproductive spores, cells, fragments and “volatile organic compounds” into the air – and it is these that can pose a danger to respiratory health.
What causes mould?
Excess moisture causes mould to grow in indoor spaces. This moisture can be caused by leaking pipes, rising damp in basements or ground floors, condensation (where warm air collides with cold, hard surfaces), humidity (which is why you may have mould in your bathroom or kitchen), and poor ventilation due to the build up of condensation as a result of everyday activities (such as drying damp clothes indoors).Unfortunately, mould is often more dangerous in the winter when temperatures drop and will continue to grow until it's cleaned or removed.
How can mould affect your health?
People living with mould are more likely to suffer from respiratory illnesses, infections, and worsening allergies or asthma. Some people are more affected than others: babies and children, for instance, as well as older people and those with existing respiratory problems.Common symptoms of an allergic reaction to mould include sneezing, a runny nose, red eyes and skin rash. Mould can also trigger asthma attacks and cause coughing, wheezing and breathlessness.
What can you do about mould in your home?
If you have mould in your home or office, it’s worth finding out what’s causing the excessive moisture, so you can take steps to limit it. You may need get leaking pipes or gutters fixed or get a professional to remove mould for you if the problem is severe.In less severe cases, you can usually treat mould yourself. Making small behavioural changes can help, such as taking shorter showers, wiping down condensation in your bathroom or kitchen, using mould surface treatments and ensuring better ventilation in humid spaces.
Do air purifiers help with mould?
The short answer is ‘yes’. Air purifiers, like the MedicAir Pro Mini, can help prevent mould developing in your home or office in the first place and help combat an existing mould issue. The MedicAir Pro Mini captures mould spores in the air (along with other airborne pollutants) and stops them reproducing and spreading throughout your home.When choosing an air purifier, look for one that has a minimum HEPA 13 filter. HEPA 13 and above (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) filters are able to trap tiny particles, including mould spores, and keep them from recirculating in the air. You should also look for an air purifier with a high CADR (Clean Air Delivery Rate) rating, as this shows how well the purifier can remove pollutants from the air.
The MedicAir Pro Mini, for example, has a CADR of 400 and an anti-bacterial coated HEPA H14 filter, which is medical grade technology, so it filters out up to 99.997% of viruses and bacteria as small as 0.3 microns, including hay fever and Covid 19.

PARK CITY, Utah, July 3, 2024 (Newswire.com) - In his detailed blog titled "Heavy Metals Cause Brain Fog - Think Clearly Again By Removing Heavy Metals From The Brain", Dr. Daniel Pompa, founder of the Pompa Program, the world leader in cellular detox and cellular healing, references studies on how heavy metals cause brain fog.
Heavy metals, a group of toxic substances including lead, arsenic, cadmium, mercury, and aluminum, pose serious threats to the health of the central nervous system. These hazardous elements have a strong tendency to bind with proteins in the brain, causing disruption to their normal functioning. Numerous studies have linked exposure to heavy metals with a wide range of neurological symptoms. This includes fatigue, irritability, depression, anxiety, and difficulties with concentration and focus commonly known as brain fog.
Studies have indicated that mercury is one of the most harmful neurotoxins. One of the reasons why mercury has such a detrimental impact on our bodies is because of its ability to bind with important molecules in our cells. This disruption in cellular functions has a cascading effect on the body, leading to a range of neurological symptoms such as brain fog.
Aluminum, long considered safe, is commonly used in many consumer goods and personal care products. Disturbing new research indicates there is a link between high levels of aluminum in the body and cognitive impairment.
One study found that glyphosate increases the permeability of the blood-brain barrier (BBB), which is responsible for protecting our brain from harmful substances. Glyphosate allows even more toxic heavy metals to enter the brain, leading to further neurodegeneration.
Dr. Pompa developed his 5Rs technique for removing toxic heavy metals from the brain. Removing these neurotoxins is the key to reversing brain fog and other neurodegenerative conditions.

Modernios E technologijos recently participated in the enriching two-day workshop in Berlin as part of the innovative “NEST InGrained ecosystem for Zero Emission buildings (GreeNest)” project. This event marked a significant stride towards sustainable and zero-emission building practices, gathering a consortium of 20 partners from eight European countries, including notable industry leaders and academics.
The workshop’s focus was squarely on the future of building—embracing EU #Taxonomy, Building Information Modeling (#BIM), and comprehensive life cycle analysis. Our discussions were particularly spirited following our visit to the Chapel of Reconciliation, a beacon of eco-design being the first publicly built clay structure in Germany in over a century. This inspired an exchange of both scientific insights and practical experiences regarding the use of circular materials in construction.
GreeNest ambitiously aims to revolutionize construction with CO₂-neutral materials that incorporate reused, recycled, and locally sourced biogenic components, along with renewable #EnergySources. Our project is designed to cover all phases of a building’s life cycle, from its initial design through construction to end-of-life disposal, developing cutting-edge solutions for the construction of new buildings.
The project is set to demonstrate its innovations through four tangible and two virtual construction projects across five countries, leveraging local and regional value chains. This strategic approach facilitates scalable replication throughout Europe. In collaboration with partners like ZRS Architekten Ingenieure, the Natural Building Lab of TU Berlin, and the timber construction company Terhalle, we are excited to showcase a prefabricated exterior wall system crafted from recyclable materials.
We are eager to continue our four-year journey within this project, contributing actively to reducing building emissions and enhancing sustainable construction practices.
*Project duration: January 1, 2024 – December 31, 2027, funded by the European Union. For more details on this and other projects, please visit our project page: GreeNest LinkedIn Page

The proposal is accepted and the proposed actions should be taken.
A Language Committee member provided the following comment:
I have proposed closure to the Board after Langcom considered this proposal. >>Inactivity in itself is not a valid reason for closure. But regarding the content: Contrary to the comment [it] has enough content to be kept open for editing; and the language of the content on which I fell when clicking on the random page link is essentially in Min nan., looking at the 40 pages of zh-min-nan:b:Special:AllPages, this does not seem to be the case; the pages are not really extensive or elaborate, rather of the small quality and quantity where we closed wikis before. I'd therefore propose to close this wiki.<< --MF-W 18:05, 20 September 2012 (UTC) --- as there were no objections, bugzilla:40614 has been filed. --MF-W11:26, 29 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose To me this project -- even if it has almost no activity -- has enough content to be kept open for editing; and the language of the content on which I fell when clicking on the random page link is essentially in Min nan. Secondly, putting this on Incubator won't help it gain content in any way, as it would literally be drowned among the countless test wikis. --Jagwar交談homewiki04:10, 22 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The Entertainment Software Association (ESA) has announced the cancellation of E3 (Electronic Entertainment Expo) 2023, almost a year after it announced the return of the event. IGN has received confirmation from two sources that the ESA notified its members of the cancellation by email.
The email said that while E3 “remains a beloved event and brand” that the 2023 version “simply did not garner the sustained interest necessary to execute it in a way that would showcase the size, strength, and impact of our industry.”
At the end of the email, the ESA emphasized its commitment to the public representation of the gaming industry but made no mention of future events. ReedPop’s global vice president of gaming, Kyle Marsden-Kish, released a statement expressing regret for the cancellation and explaining that the decision was made in the best interest of the industry and E3. Marsden-Kish also apologized to companies planning to attend the event, admitting that resource issues and the lack of playable demos made attending E3 an insurmountable obstacle for many.
The statement noted that ESA and ReedPop plan to continue working together on future E3 events. E3 2023 was set to take place from June 13 to 16 at the Los Angeles Convention Center and would be the first in-person E3 event since 2019. The 2020 event was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the 2021 event was held digitally.
The return of E3 was announced in June 2022, while also confirming that E3 2022 has been canceled. Several of the industry’s biggest players, including Xbox, Nintendo, PlayStation, and Ubisoft, previously announced that they will not be participating in E3 in any capacity, but instead will be holding their own digital showcases.

Morpeth Museum explores the rich heritage of the region in the former Courthouse.
Morpeth was the major river port of the Hunter Valley and surrounding districts between 1832 and 1920. An important trade, cultural, commercial and religious centre, it was a bustling town filled with sailors, bullockies and hotels; bond stores and salesmen; free settlers and convict workers; dairy farmers and railway men as well as the multitude of stories of growth and misadventure that comes with a river port.
The fascinating history of the area is represented in the courthouse with exciting displays currently telling the Morpeth story of “Debauchery and Divinity” together with the gallery of “The Morpeth River Boats” photographs and models. Do you remember “OAK” milkshakes, and Arnott’s biscuits? See how they started in Morpeth along with other industries.
Thanks to Maitland City Council the building has undergone extensive restoration in the last three years and is once again the focal point of Morpeth.
Open Thursday to Sunday, 11am to 2pm or by appointment.

The Microcosm of London. Horse Armoury
Thomas Rowlandson and Augustus Pugin The Microcosm of London. Horse Armoury London, R. Ackermann 1808-10 Aquatints Original hand-colouring Average size:- 230x280mm
The publisher and drawing master Rudolf Ackermann (1764-1834), had come to London from Germany in his early twenties. A philanthropist and businessman, the money he raised to help Leipzig after its devastation by Napoleon in 1813 made him a public figure in both England and Germany. The Microcosm of London, which combined the comic genius (although kept on a tight leash by Ackermann) of Thomas Rowlandson who executed the figures and the precise architectural draughtsmanship of Augustus Pugin, was intended to provide an intimate look at the major buildings and landmarks of Georgian London.

2SC828 is an NPN type silicon epitaxial planar transistor. It is used for switching and signal amplification in audio AF based applications. This transistor is designed for low power applications. Because peak and normal collector dc current is 100mA and 50mA respectively.
Like other NPN transistors, this silicon epitaxial planar also consists of three pins. By looking at the front end of 2SC828, the leftmost pin is an emitter pin, middle terminal is a base and rightmost terminal is collector pin. The following figure shows the pinout diagram:
This table list the pin configuration details:
Number | Pin Name | Function |
1 | Emitter | 2SC828 emitter pin |
2 | Base | Base pin |
3 | Collector | Collector pin |
2SC828 Transistor Features and Specifications
- VCBO (Collector Base Voltage) : 30 Volts
- VCEO (Collector Emitter Voltage) : 25 Volts
- Peak Collector Current : 100mA
- Rated collector current: 50mA
- Power Dissipation: 400mW
- Three different variants according to DC current gain rating (Q, R and S)
- Low side switching for low power application due to NPN type
For more information on dc current gain, breakdown voltage of collector, emitter and base, check the datasheet of 2SC828. The link to the datasheet is given at the end of the article.
2SC828 Example Circuits
Sine wave generator circuit for flyback transformer testing
In this example circuit, we design a sine wave oscillator circuit from the flyback transformer of a television using one 2SC828 NPN transistor. This circuit consists of three capacitors, two resistors and one variable resistor. It produces a sine wave at the emitter terminal of the transistor. This circuit is a part of a flyback transformer testing circuit.
Low Side Switching Circuit
There are two main configurations of transistors when used in switching applications such as low side and high side configuration. In low side switching, the emitter terminal is connected with the ground and the load is connected between the positive terminal of the power supply and collector terminal of the ground. On the contrary, in high side configuration, the load is connected between the collector terminal of the transistor and ground. Usually PNP transistors are used for high side switching and NPN transistors are used for low side switching.
This example circuit shows the use of 2SC828 transistor in low side switching. The 2SC828 NPN transistor acts as a switch to turn on/off load. The control on/off signal is provided to this switching circuit through the base terminal of the transistor. When an active low signal is provided to the base terminal, the transistor does not operate and the connected load will remain off. Similarly, when we apply an active high control signal to the base pin of 2SC828 NPN transistor, it turns on and the switching path of the transistor completes from V+ to ground which turns on the load.
- Audio frequency amplifier circuits
- Low side and low power switching applications
- Oscillator circuits to produce square wave and sine wave signals
- Amplitude transmitter circuits
The following figure shows the two dimensional diagram of 2SC898 NPN transistor. The physical dimension diagram electronics components are required while designing a PCB card.

Jose Aldo is down to fight Aljamain Sterling, and wants contracts drawn up pronto.
Sterling recently became the undisputed bantamweight champion following a split decision victory over Petr Yan in the UFC 273 co-headliner this past weekend.
Following the victory, Sterling not only talked up a potential fight with TJ Dillashaw next, but also mentioned names like Aldo and Dominick Cruz.
That certainly got Aldo’s attention as he took to Twitter to call on UFC president Dana White to draw up the contracts before Sterling changed his mind.
“@funkmasterMMA u said I would be next on merit and I’m here accepting your challenge, @danawhite send me the contract soon before he changes his mind!!”
— Jose Aldo Junior (@josealdojunior) April 14, 2022
Sterling would reply soon after by quote tweeting Aldo.
He also advised White to rewatch the first round as the latter felt the judges scored the fight wrong and that Yan should have won.
“.@danawhite Hey man, when are we having a sit down? We clearly have a lot to discuss… PS: Go watch the first round again. You are WRONG!”
.@danawhite Hey man, when are we having a sit down? We clearly have a lot to discuss…
— Aljamain Sterling (@funkmasterMMA) April 14, 2022
Jose Aldo Has Path To Bantamweight Title
Of course, if Yan came out on top, it would have been hard for Aldo to get a title shot. After all, he was TKO’d by Yan in their vacant bantamweight title fight in July 2020.
However, Aldo has won three in a row since, and with Sterling now reigning as the champion, the Brazilian has a real chance of challenging for bantamweight gold again and becoming a two-weight champion.
That is, if Dillashaw doesn’t end up getting the nod.

12ft Round Above Ground Solar Pool Covers
Solar Blankets for Above Ground Swimming Pools
Solar blankets offer benefits across various climates and regions throughout the country, but they prove especially effective in sunny weather. The more heat these blankets trap, the longer your pool water will stay warm. This extended warmth can enable you to keep your swimming pool operational and open for a more extended period than your typical swim season. Solar pool covers have the potential to elevate water temperature by a significant 10-15 degrees.
It’s essential to note that while any cover reduces debris entry into a pool, solar pool covers are not specifically designed for cleanliness. Additionally, they do not function as safety or winter covers. Before swimmers enter the water, it is crucial to completely remove solar pool covers to minimize the risk of accidents.

Past studies indicate that mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) promote mental health for adolescents. However, most adolescents with mental health vulnerabilities do not have access to an MBI. The goal of the current study was to explore the feasibility, acceptability, and potential efficacy of scaling out an MBI through a mentoring program targeted at adolescents experiencing multiple adversities.
We conducted a randomized feasibility trial comparing mentoring alone to mentoring plus MBI. Assessments occurred at baseline and post-intervention, including reports gathered from adolescents and their parents.
The addition of an MBI to the mentoring program did not affect attendance, but was associated with small increases in overall program acceptability. Additionally, adolescents who received mentoring plus MBI showed larger improvements in two aspects of emotion regulation (emotional clarity and managing impulsive behaviors during distress), attention problems, externalizing behaviors, and posttraumatic stress disorder symptoms. In contrast, adolescents who received mentoring alone demonstrated more favorable change in another dimension of emotion regulation (accessing effective emotion regulation strategies) and internalizing symptoms. Many but not all of these effects were more pronounced when focusing specifically on older, high school–aged adolescents, compared to the effects observed in the entire sample of 10–18-year-olds.
Results suggest that it is feasible, acceptable, and potentially effective to expand MBI via mentoring programs for adolescents at high risk for mental health symptoms.
This study was not preregistered.

The United States implemented the No Child Left Behind Act to help counteract a decline in education among today’s students. States are required to test and analyze elementary, middle and high school students on their academic achievement in every subject
The legislation calls for
- stronger accountability for results
- more freedom for states and communities
- proven education methods and more choices for parents.
I argue that creating national standards of learning is taking the local control out of education. If local school districts want to receive funding for proven education tools and the recruiting of a quality teaching staff, the schools must first meet goals set by the federal government.
“The goal of the law was the right one, but unfulfilled funding promises, inadequate implementation by the Education Department and shortcomings in the design of the law itself have limited its effectiveness and undercut its support. As a result, the law has failed to provide high-quality teachers in every classroom and failed to adequately support and pay those teachers.”-Barack Obama

Food quality guaranteed
We expect our supermarkets to stock fresh, undamaged food with long use-by dates. In the traditional corner shop each apple came from local suppliers and was inspected several times a day. Nowadays, though, the freshness of fruit, meat and vegetables in the retail sector and in further processing is automated. Industrial cameras ensure that only fresh goods make it into the shops or are processed – spoilt or damaged goods are automatically rejected. Spoilt meat or bruised fruit can be identified quickly and reliably. And empties are checked for any contamination.
Due to the large throughput volume, checks need to be performed at high speed. Food legislation requires machinery to be cleaned as well. Protected IP67-standard cameras permit use in areas where open technology is taboo.
Uninterrupted automated checking of expiry dates is also important.
That's what matters
- Industrial protection class up to IP67
In the food industry, cleanliness is paramount and frequent cleaning is the standard procedure. Cameras complying with defined standards of protection are resistant to dust, detergents and water jets. - High speeds
Whether you require long or short cables, our cameras will meet your speed requirements. This is made possible thanks to various interfaces.

As the lodging industry continues to head down the road to recovery and many major lenders return to the market, JLL’s Hotel Investment Banking team recently released its Hospitality Debt Market Commentary to provide insights on the state of the market and identify positive trends.
JLL’s Hotel Investment Banking team is actively engaged in over $2 billion in financing assignments, as the hospitality debt market is showing a strong resurgence.
“With positive hotel room night demand trends gaining momentum, particularly in the leisure segment for drive-to hotels and resorts, investor confidence is increasing,” said Scott Hall, a senior managing director with JLL Hotels. “As a result, the hotel transactional market for the Rocky Mountain region will benefit significantly from heightened investor appetite.”
According to the report…
- Debt funds are the most active lenders, followed by banks, insurance companies and CMBS, which still remain selective for high-quality assets. There are also significant spread comparisons with the debt funds, with bank spreads remaining steady since Fall 2020. Additionally, the banks continue to provide the lowest cost of capital, however, its pricing advantage has narrowed as debt fund spreads have compressed.
- There is greater liquidity for acquisitions or cash-in refinancing. And while debt funds prefer to quote acquisitions, most are also actively quoting refinancing.
- Leverage levels have increased as banks and insurance companies are willing to push leverages to 55-60 percent, which is up from 50 percent in Fall 2020. The debt funds are also willing to push leverage to 75-80 percent for the best, high-quality assets.
- “In favor” drive-to-leisure resorts and trophy/luxury asset types are in demand. Financings for these asset types are generating the most attention, followed by high-quality assets in good, long-term markets at a modest loan basis.
- In select states, retroactive CPACE financing represents a creative source of capital for recently developed or renovated hotels.
“We are encouraged by the amount of liquidity that has returned to the hotel debt space as operating fundamentals continue to improve,” continues Tyler Dumon, vice president with JLL’s Hotels team, based in Denver. “Our team is excited to continue to advise our clients on the best capitalization solutions in what will continue to be a very dynamic market through 2021.”
JLL’s Hotels & Hospitality Group has completed more transactions than any other hotels and hospitality real estate advisor over the last five years, totaling $83 billion worldwide. The group’s 350-strong global team in over 20 countries also closed more than 7,350 advisory, valuation and asset management assignments.

DETROIT — Armenian intellectual and political leader Edmond Y. Azadian was buried on Saturday, April 21, in Detroit’s Woodlawn Cemetery, after a weekend of solemn visitation and funeral services allowed family, friends and Armenian church and community leaders from the United States and abroad to pay their last respects.
Azadian, 87, had passed away in Florida on March 25, but had wanted his funeral to take place in his hometown, at his beloved St. John Armenian Church of Southfield.
Fr. Mesrop Parsamyan, Primate of the Eastern Diocese of the Armenian Church of America, came from New York to preside over the services conducted, while Bishop Abgar Hovakimyan, Primate of the Armenian Diocese of Canada, traveled from Montreal to also participate.
During the Friday evening wake, Fr. Aren Jebejian, pastor of St. John Armenian Church, introduced all the clergymen, including the married priests present, Fr. Garabed Kochakian and Assistant Pastor Fr. Armash Bagdasarian, before speaking about the role that Azadian had played in his own education and life, and praising him as a singular personality of the diaspora — as an Armenian patriot and intellectual. He then invited Bishop Hovakimyan to read the letter of condolences in the Armenian language sent by Catholicos of All Armenians Karekin II.
The wake was an opportunity to see Azadian one last time in his open casket adorned with the flags of the Armenian Democratic Liberal Party (ADL) and the Tekeyan Cultural Association (TCA) of the United States and Canada, two organizations which Azadian had served for decades as a leader and ideologue.
The next day, a large crowd was present at the church for the noon service, including family and many members of the Detroit Armenian community, as well as visitors who came specially for the funeral from Armenia, Europe and Canada. The Komitas Choir, led by Deacon Rubik Mailian and organist Arshaluys Gharibian, participated soulfully in the service. Fr. Kochakian read in English a translation of the letter of Catholicos Karekin II, while Diocesan Primate Fr. Parsamyan delivered a heartfelt eulogy both in Armenian and English.

PRELUDIUM | EARLY MUSIC DAY: POLISH RADIO CHOIR
Easter is a central event for the Christian world. It is full of solemn mystery and sublime spiritual joy, to which we are brought by the Mystery of the Passion and Death of Christ on Mount Calvary.
This mystery is experienced in various ways and forms, being often surrounded by surprising customs and rituals. For centuries, musical works composed on the occasion of the Paschal Triduum have been an inherent part of its celebration. Corresponding to this mystic atmosphere, the programme of the concert of the Polish Radio Choir will describe three scenes from the last moments of Jesus’s life by means of works of the most outstanding composers from the 16th till the 18th century. Orlando di Lasso’s Tristis est anima mea and William Byrd’s eight-part motet Ad Dominum cum tribularer will refer to Jesus’s prayer in the Garden of Olives. The act of carrying the cross will be described musically by Crux fidelis by the King of Portugal John IV (a patron, a composer, a collector of musical works and the founder of a large library) and Adoramus te Domine by Italian composer Claudio Merulo connected with the Venetian musical centre. The central point of the programme will be two eight-part works: Crucifixus by Antonio Lotti and Stabat Mater by Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina, preceded by a fragment of the choral antiphon Christus factus est pro nobis. The programme will be complemented by two five-part hymns of English composers from the Tudor era: Robert White’s Christe, qui lux es et dies and Thomas Tallis’s Jesu Salvator saeculi.
Aleksandra Pirogowicz – soprano

Andrzej Zawisza – conductor

St. Lucia is the sort of island that travellers to the Caribbean dream about–a small, lush tropical gem that is still relatively unknown. One of the Windward Islands of the Lesser Antilles, it is located midway down the Eastern Caribbean chain, between Martinique and St. Vincent, and north of Barbados. St. Lucia is only 27 miles long and 14 miles wide, with a shape that is said to resemble either a mango or an avocado (depending on your taste). The Atlantic Ocean kisses its eastern shore, while the beaches of the west coast owe their beauty to the calm Caribbean Sea.
In natural beauty, St. Lucia seems like an island plucked from the South Pacific and set down in the Caribbean. Its dramatic twin coastal peaks, the Pitons, soar 2,000 feet up from the sea, sheltering magnificent rain forests where wild orchids, giant ferns, and birds of paradise flourish. Brilliantly-plumed tropical birds abound, including endangered species like the indigenous St. Lucia parrot. The rainforest is broken only by verdant fields and orchards of banana, coconut, mango, and papaya trees.
St. Lucia has been inhabited since long before colonial times, and its cultural treasures are a fascinating melange of its rich past and its many different traditions. The island’s people have earned a well-deserved reputation for their warmth and charm, and the island itself is dotted with aged fortresses, small villages, and open-air markets.
There is a broad array of exciting and exotic activities available on St. Lucia. The island’s steep coastlines and lovely reefs offer excellent snorkeling and scuba diving. The rainforest preserves of St. Lucia’s mountainous interior are one of the Caribbean’s finest locales for hiking and birdwatching. Of course, the island also possesses excellent facilities for golf, tennis, sailing, and a host of other leisure pursuits. Not to be missed is St. Lucia’s Soufriere volcano, the world’s only drive-in volcanic crater.

“We recently selected Modu-Loc as our fence enclosure provider for our Conroe KidzFest. They did a great job in advance of the event providing guidance regarding the appropriate fence to use to not only keep our kids safe but provide an attractive alternative to traditional fence. We would recommend their services to anyone that wants to execute a top notch event.”
“Working with Modu-Loc was a great decision for Katy Rice Harvest Festival 2016. Our point of contact was extremely professional and proactive, beating all of the deadlines we gave him. He cleared 3750’ of fence in 4 hours – well before we needed it done. Not only did the fence look great while keeping the entire event secure, but the service was outstanding! We will definitely be using them again next year.”
“Reaching out to let you know how well everything went this weekend. Skippy was on his A game, as usual! I also wanted to highlight how great the entire team was – respectful, attentive to detail, easy to work with and efficient.”
“It was great working with Modu-Loc on The PARKLIFE Festival this year. Not only did they come in at competitive pricing, they really worked with us to make the festival secure and attractive under a tight deadline. Thanks for your commitment to getting this done right! We will definitely be using Modu-Loc for future PARKLIFE events.”
“It was a great experience working with Modu-Loc on Wurstfest this year. Not only did the fence look great while keeping the entire site secure, but the service was outstanding! We will definitely be using them again next year.”
“Many of our events at MLSE, and especially the Hub City Hockey Event in Toronto would not have been possible without the hard work and support from our trusted partners at Modu-Loc. As always, they provide the infrastructure to keep our events safe, and always work in a timely fashion to get things done. MLSE has had the opportunity to work with Modu-Loc countless times on various events over the past few years and therefore we were confident that despite a ton of hurdles, they would help make Hub City a success. The crew was amazing to work with and together we were able to provide a safe and secure set up for everyone involved. Thank you again for all that you do, we truly appreciate working with great vendors like Modu-Loc.”
“During the delivery and installation of the fence perimeter for the 2020 Brier Patch tent in Kingston, the guys installing the fence did a great job despite the harsh winter conditions. They were professional and very accommodating.”
“We’re so happy we chose Modu-Loc as our fence supplier for the InTouch Credit Union Plano Balloon Festival this year. Not only is the product superior to others we’ve used in the past but even the attendees commented on how terrific everything looked. Our contact on the ground was a true professional. It was an awesome experience. We highly recommend using them for your next event.”
“Modu-Loc provided crowd control for the Operation Care event at the Dallas Convention Center this year and we will definitely partner with them again next year. With 500,000 square feet of space, 4,000 volunteers and 20,000 guests at this event, the quality of the fence and the professionalism of the staff was very important and Modu-Loc was top-notch. Our contact was an enormous help in the planning and logistics of the fence throughout the entire event, which was critical to the flow and the security – and the success! Thanks Modu-Loc. Looking forward to next year!”
“We used Modu-Loc temporary fencing in all of our six locations this summer to expand our patios. Their crews have been so professional and amazing to work with. Justin Ford who processed our orders answered all of our questions and expedited the six installations. Their Toronto crews were also quick to call back to book install dates and times. I met up with six different installation crews and they were all excellent to work with. I highly recommend this company.”
We’re here to answer any questions you may have.

Have you heard of Pandora.com? OK, this is one of those things where you just have to tell someone to try it knowing that they’re going to love it. Trust me on this . . .
I have compiled all of my music into iTunes by now. I enjoy listening to all my music on random just so I can change things up. However, now that I’ve listened over, and over, and OVER again, I’m getting somewhat bored. I like the idea of Napster’s new subscription service, but don’t want to fork over money for music I can’t own. I also tried emusic.com (great service), but found that the music I wanted just wasn’t there.
So, I heard about Pandora (www.pandora.com). What they’ve done is brilliant. They compiled a database of music, but didn’t stop there. They review music and assign each artist to a predefined style. So, if I type in James Taylor as my radio playlist, I get a decent quality music stream of not just JT, but other artists that share the same style. AND, they play with no commercial interruption (for now anyway).
If you want to purchase a song, you just click the album and iTunes, Amazon, and other purchase links appear. It’s really a great way to discover new music. Give it a try even if it’s just to listen to great new music while working. Send me some comments – I know you’ll like it!

No worries, this Valentine’s Day S’mores snack mix can be whipped up in a flash. Top with this super cute DIY Cricut treat bag topper and you’re sure to put a smile on your valentine’s face!
What you need to make Valentine’s Day S’mores snack mix
- Snack bags
- Red & White M&M’s
- S’mores cereal or the following ingredients:
- Chocolate Goldfish Crackers
- Golden Grahams Cereal
- Mini Marshmallows
What you need to make a DIY Cricut treat bag topper
Making your treat bag topper
Within Cricut Design Space, you can use a stock template, or design your own treat bag topper from scratch. Or, feel free to grab mine from Design Space.
As with my other fun Cricut projects, picking a good font is the key to success in making this treat bag topper.
My mistakes: The fonts I chose were a touch on the narrow side, so I’d recommend choosing a larger block font. I also learned that standard construction paper is really difficult to cut. This template cuts the word S’more out of a separate colour with the intention of gluing the word to the top of the card. Not sure if my cutting blade is getting a little dull, or if I used too strong a cutting mat, but I epically failed here. Regardless of how I cut, I ended up with 30, partially-torn “S’mores” stuck to various cutting mats. Definitely use thicker card stock, a thicker font, or opt to draw the word on. In the end, I hand drew the word on with a Sharpie, but next time I would switch from cut to draw and have the Cricut do that for me.

The European Court of Justice confirmed our client’s right to claim damages from AirBaltic and RIX in Lithuania (C-27/17). The bankrupt national air carriage company flyLAL claims for damages (over 57.4 million EUR) caused by “Air Baltic Corporation” and Riga International Airport.
The Court of Appeals has issued a procedural decision to refer the case to the Court of Justice of the European Union in order to answer the question of whether Lithuanian Courts have jurisdiction (under Brussels I Regulation) in the case at hand.
After an oral hearing in 2017 and Advocate General’s opinion in the beginning of 2018, the ECJ issued its preliminary ruling, where the ECJ noted the especially complex factual basis of the claim, i. e. “Air Baltic Corporation” had entered into anticompetitive agreements with Riga International Airport and both engaged in predatory pricing and anticompetitive strategies against flyLAL. Despite the factual and legal complexity, ECJ provided clear guidance to the Court of Appeals, inter alia, confirmed that the “damage” under Brussels I occurred in Vilnius, Lithuania. Consequently, Court of Appeals has the right to uphold the jurisdiction of Lithuanian court to hear the dispute.
In 2016, Vilnius regional court upheld flyLAL’s claim and ordered the respondent “Air Baltic Corporation” to pay flyLAL 16,121,094 EUR in damages and procedural interest. The court issued a decision of more than 90 pages, underlining the complexity of the case, specifically the first of its kind violation of TFEU articles 101 and 102 and the Lithuania’s competition law by the respondents. The case has the potential of setting precedents in the jurisprudence related to various perspectives of private competition enforcement.

It is no secret that in recent years awareness of CBD oil has expanded and its medicinal qualities have spread all over the world, making it a popular product among many patients. With the increase in demand for CBD oil, questions are also raised about the health benefits of the oil and its legality.
Recently, numerous studies have been published about CBD oil and the non-intoxicating component called cannabidiol, from which it may have raised awareness of the properties of the oil in the general public that began to take an interest in it for personal consumption.
CBD, medically known as cannabidiol, is a molecule found in particularly high concentrations in the cannabis hemp plant. There are 167 different compounds called phyto-cannabinoids. CBD is one of two main cannabinoids along with THC. CBD oil is extracted from the cannabis hemp plant and does not contain large amounts of THC that decomposes its users. That is, it has no consciousness-altering and intonocable effect on the user.
How do you consume CBD oil?
THE CBD oil can be consumed as a swallow of the oil in drops that are dripping into the mouth, or consumed together with food or drink, in order to have a maximum effect it is advisable to leave the oil under the tongue for a minute or two, so that the oil will be absorbed more strongly in the blood vessels under the tongue and its action will be felt almost immediately.

Bobby & Liberty Show Visit School Principals
Janet Dellaria of Trout Creek, Michigan founded School Principals’ Day to recognize all the dedicated leaders in schools from elementary through high school. It is celebrated May 1st. We decided to celebrate it by recognizing the Principals at our children's schools.
Our first stop was Helfrich Park Stem Academy, where Bobby's son, Oliver, is a 6th grader. Principal Dr. Cory Herrin was very excited to see us, because we surprised him with concert tickets, to see Amy Grant. Bobby, by the way, is quite the rock star here!
Our next stop was Bobby's daughter's school, Reitz. Mrs. Elizabeth Carnahan was in a meeting when we arrived, but we made sure her prizes were safe with her assistant.
Next, we drove across town to Oak Hill Elementary, where my son, Chase, is in the 5th grade. Marissa Zimmer is the Principal, and a little bird told her that it was her special day, but she had no idea we were coming to surprise her!

FG inaugurates planing c’tte for 30th Nigeria Economic Summit
By Vivian Emoni
Sen. Atiku Bagudu, Minister of Budget and Economic Planning, has inaugurated a Joint Planning Committee for the 30th Nigerian Economic Summit (NES), to shape national development.
Inaugurating the committee on Tuesday in Abuja, Bagudu said the previous summit played vital roles in shaping policies of government across the country.
The minister was represented by Mr Nebeolisa Anako, Permanent Secretary of the ministry.
He said the annual summit provides a veritable platform for dialogue among policy makers, corporate leaders, organised private sectors among others.
According to him, the summit provides the opportunity to strengthen the existing mutual and symbiotic relationship between the public and private sectors in the overall interest of Nigeria.
“The partnership between the sectors has helped in the development of the National Development Plan (NDP) 2021 to 2025 and the Nigeria agenda 2050.
“The key outcomes of the summit have always played important roles in shaping the policies of the government.
“In particular, the summit had in the past contributed to entrenching the culture of development planning in the country.
“The summit has as well provided invaluable policy recommendations for the government,’’ he said.
The committee, he said, was expected to articulate the budgetary requirements and sources of funds for hosting the summit.
Bagudu also said it would also propose the optimal strategy for funding the activities of the committee and the summit.
The minister said that efforts had been concluded to forward the 29th summit recommendations and outcomes to the Federal Executive Council (FEC).
He commended the public and private sector co-chairs and members of the committee for successfully organising the summit, and for working round the clock to produce the Green Book for the summit.
Earlier, Chairman of the NES, Mr Niyi Yusuf, said the summit was not just about changing policies, but redefining philosophy and approach to development.
“The NES remains a crucial catalyst for addressing current challenges and steering Nigeria towards a future of inclusive growth and economic resilience.
“Celebrating the milestone of the summit is an opportunity to reflect on a legacy that has played a critical role in promoting Nigeria’s transition to a private sector-led economy.
“This journey of strategic innovation and steadfast collaboration is vital for our continued economic development,’’ he said.
Yusuf said that one of Nigeria’s pressing concerns was to translate economic growth into improved living standards for the citizens.
“In spite of experiencing growth, the country grapples with rising unemployment, income disparity and multidimensional poverty”.
He said that these challenges are worsened by an uneven allocation of resources, macroeconomic instability and institutional deficiencies.
The chairman said that Nigeria`s weak economic performance was a pressing issue that demands immediate attention.
He added that the performance was reflected in poor socioeconomic outcomes and declining living standards.
According to him, in light of these severe realities, we hope the summit will be a significant conversation for action among public and private sector stakeholders and all Nigerians.
“It is a time to reflect on our economy, rethink our economic fundamentals and deliberate on the short, medium and long-term priorities to tackle our challenges.
“Together, we will explore emerging trends enabling Nigeria to capitalise on new opportunities and chart a path to rapid recovery.
“I am confident that this partnership will yield outcomes that will set Nigeria on the path of economic recovery and sustainable development.
“The NES will be a pivotal moment, highlighting the summit’s role in shaping our economic trajectory.
“It will underscore Nigeria’s significance in transforming the continent through institutions, investment, integration, industry growth and innovation,’’ he said.
Yusuf urged the minister to present the outcomes of the 29th summit to FEC for consideration and integration into government plans and programmes.
The chairman was represented by Omoboyede Olusanya, Vice Chairman of the 30th NES. (NAN) (www.nannews.ng)

The other day, Ted Koppel appeared on Sam Donaldson’s radio show on the local ABC Radio affiliate to give his reasons for doing the television broadcast tonight.
Just now, Koppel concluded the broadcast by explaining the same thing. He seemed thoughtful. it seemed reasonable.
In fact, it seemed so good, I can’t imagine why he didn’t use that reasoning on the radio show the other day.

The kids who do have their grandparents alive are considered to be very lucky and blessed because having love and care from grandparents is simply a feeling beyond the imagination and cannot be compared or replaced by any other form of love. Christmas is one of the best opportunities for the kids to return the favor of love and care to their grandparents, although for this cause they should not look for any occasion or event, but still to be specific as far as Christmas is concerned they should really surprise them by a very pleasing gift.
Homemade Christmas Gift Ideas 2024 for Grandparents From Kids
There are so many things that can be given to the grandparents on the event of Christmas by purchasing from the market and stores, but a few gifts that surely transform the love and care are the homemade gifts that the kids make for their grandparents and with no doubt they are appreciated the most by the grandparents as well.
The best thing for the grandparents can be a surprise room decoration. The room in which the grandparents live can be decorated as a Christmas gift. In such decoration, the room can be decorated with flowers and balloons spread all over the floor, a new bed cover with some bouquets on the dressing can give your grandparents one of the most pleasing and enjoyable gifts on Christmas. The wall of the room can be decorated with chart papers and notes on which thanksgiving lines and statements or the phrases which can be emotional for the grandparents can be written, but this all should be done without informing them so that once they open the door they should get one of the most pleasant surprises of the Christmas.
Grandparents always have a very emotional attachment to their kids and they highly appreciate pictures and snaps that have captured the memories of the past. So for this Christmas do prepare a photo diary for your Grandparents which should have all the photos of memories of the past and should be wrapped up in wrapping paper and decorated. The pictures should also have captions with them so that they can further recall what actually happened.
Glass or Tea and Coffee Cups can be pained for Grandparents, on which their name can be written or now their pictures can also be engraved on it, which can be a very much attractive and eye-pleasing surprise for the Grandparents on Christmas as they can keep that with them all their life and can recall and memorize all the pleasures of the love and care which is being given to them by the grandchildren on the Christmas.
There are so many other ideas as well, but one thing should be taken under consideration, don’t look for the natural gift but look for the great feeling and true care and love which is being given the highest priority and preference by the Grandparents on every occasion, no matter its Christmas or something else.

Express Pardons Should Do The Right Thing
Express Pardons – Out of Business
Considering Express Pardons is out of business I found the youtube ad below very misleading. Express Pardons should honour its money back guarantee and refund all of the money that was taken from people. Unfortunately the reality is that all those people are unlikely to ever see a dime.
For the record, I believe the first person in the video is Jared Church, founder of Express Pardons. It may not be of any help to you but I think it’s important for people to know who they are dealing with.
There is little doubt that Express Pardons exaggerated claims about its services. Considering the final outcome of the company, their claims went well beyond dishonesty.
Below is the Express Pardons advertisement promising a money back guarantee. See for yourself.
Express Pardons – What Now?
I realize that anyone who dealt with Express Pardons is probably feeling jaded by the pardon and waiver services industry. But I promise you we are not all bad. Many of the pardon services are run by well intentioned people who are just dealing with a government program that is difficult to navigate.
If you have dealt with Express Pardons and have lost hope in ever getting a pardon or a waiver I ask you to give me a call.
I cannot promise you a pardon or waiver overnight. I can’t even guarantee I will get you one. But that’s only because the government agencies involved in granting a pardon or a waiver provide no guaranteed criteria.
What I can promise is that I will deal with you honestly. I will not sell you things you don’t need. I will not make silly claims about pardons being eliminated. I will not mislead you.
What I, and the people working at the National Pardon Centre will do is treat you as you expect to be treated. And we we will do everything possible to get the outcome you deserve.

Photos showing battlefields littered with corpses shocked the nation in ways that it had not experienced before, as only those who actually did the fighting knew of war's horrors, for they had seen them with their own eyes. The harsh scenarios and the brutality of conflict were only surpassed by the smell of battle and the stench of its aftermath.
As war coverage progressed over the next century-and-a-half, reporters and photographers found better ways to bring the truth of what was taking place to the masses who hungered for details. And while those early war correspondent pioneers should be praised and honored for their work, which often cost them their lives, we now find ourselves in a situation where the news media intends not to inform us about what's truly taking place, but rather present 'information' that is manipulated in a way that supports or advances a pre-determined narrative by the global elite who control them.
The ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine is a case in point.
Earlier this week, for instance, Reuters was widely mocked for publishing a photo that purportedly showed 'brave Ukrainian soldiers' in battle pushing back Russian forces, but in fact, the group of 'soldiers' depicted in the picture were 'armed' with paintball guns.
"Ukraine says it has repelled Russian incursion in Sumy region," Reuters tweeted along with the photo and a link to the report.
— Reuters (@Reuters) May 16, 2022
"Did America just spend $40 billion to buy Ukraine paintball gear???" comedian Tim Young tweeted in response.
Did America just spend $40 billion to buy Ukraine paintball gear???
— Tim Young (@TimRunsHisMouth) May 16, 2022
The photo and the tweet, as well as the accompanying story, provided absolutely no context at all as to why the men pictured were armed with paintball weapons. It could be a bad decision by whomever the editor for the story was, or it could simply be a blatant attempt at misinformation since using an actual photo of actual Ukrainian troops in battle was obviously the better choice.
"Maybe Ukrainians really do need the $40 billion if they’re fighting the Russian army with paintball guns?" one Twitter user asked. "And Reuters wonders why nobody trusts legacy media anymore."
Meanwhile, a retired U.S. Army Gen. Barry McCaffrey, who served as a drug czar in then-President Bill Clinton's cabinet and is currently a military analyst for MSNBC, posted a clip of a video game on Twitter this week claiming it was Ukraine war footage, per The Post Millennial:
The clip in question came from YouTube's "shorts" section, and is titled "Russian MiG-29's Get Shot Down By Air Defense System | Arma 3 #Shorts #Airdefense #Arma3."
ARMA 3 is an open world military tactical shooter game for PC published in September 2013.
What's captured on video is two in-game jets being shot down by an air defense system set up on the ground. McCaffrey's tweet was deleted at some point after Benny Johnson pointed out the glaring mistake.
Also, as Johnson pointed out, Twitter and other social media platforms appear to be in on the false narratives, as usual.
"MSNBC’s 'military analyst' is posting fake war videos from a video game. Why is Left-Wing corporate media allowed to spread 'misinformation' about a war, while they advocate for Censorship of Conservatives and Fact Checking of Memes?" Johnson wrote.
MSNBC’s “military analyst” is posting fake war videos from a video game.
Why is Left-Wing corporate media allowed to spread “misinformation” about a war, while they advocate for Censorship of Conservatives and Fact Checking of Memes? https://t.co/YDKGSkkvGV
— Benny Johnson (@bennyjohnson) May 16, 2022
These are major mistakes that should not ever have happened, but they did, and it simply leads us to believe that these fake reports are being published on purpose to provide a narrative different from the reality on the ground.
It has gotten to the point where Americans simply cannot trust much of what they're being told by the corporate media. That makes media sources (like ours) who point that out the only ones they can trust.

Vril Dox, also known as Brainiac, is a major antagonist in LEGO Batman video game series, notably serving as the main antagonist of LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham. He is an alien android obsessed with collecting cities from various planets. He eventually targeted planet Earth, forcing the Justice League and the Legion of Doom to team up to stop him.
He was voiced by Troy Baker (who also voiced Loki in Lego Marvel Super Heroes and Thomas Wayne in Batman: The Telltale Series) in LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes, Dee Bradley Baker (who also voiced the Lighthouse Keeper in What's New, Scooby-Doo?, Admiral Trench in Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Ra's al Ghul in the Batman: Arkham franchise, Carnage in Ultimate Spider-Man and Evil Julian in Randy Cunningham: 9th Grade Ninja) in LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham and LEGO Dimensions through archive audio, and by Corey Burton (who also voiced Lythos and Stratos in Hercules, Shockwave in Transformers: Animated, Cad Bane in the Star Wars franchise, Malware in Ben 10: Omniverse and Nitros Oxide in the Crash Team Racing: Nitro-Fueled remake.
- He mentions having overthrown the rulers of his home planet in the past.
- He miniaturised multiple cities from various planets and kept them on board his spaceship due to his obsession with collecting knowledge and civilizations. The residents of those cities, if they were still alive, were likely forced to spend the rest of their lives trapped inside them.
- He brainwashed Star Sapphire, Sinestro, Atrocitus, Larfleeze, Saint Walker and Indigo-1 to use their powers for his master plan.
- When Batman was observing his ship, he brainwashed the Dark Knight and made him go on a rampage in the Batcave, even attacking Robin and Alfred.
- He brainwashed Green Lantern and, having all Power Rings he needed, activated his shrink ray with the goal of miniaturising Earth and adding it to his collection.
- When Superman broke his device, leaving the Earth too big for him to contain, he decided to steal some of the Earth's cities instead, managing to shrink Paris, London and Pisa.
- When escaping the Earth, he took two cities, Gotham and Metropolis, with millions of people in them, and reminded Justice League that if they chose to fight him instead of surrendering, they could risk destroying them.
- He brainwashed Superman in the final attempt to kill the Justice League.
- He has a few comedic moments that detract from his villainy, such as accidentally revealing his pyjamas instead of his robotic structure, distracting Superman with a fake ice cream cone, and being shrunk, put inside a bottle and mocked by Lex Luthor and Joker. However, he is still taken mostly seriously.
- He is the only version of Brainiac so far to be Near Pure Evil.

We started out with heavy fog. David made the decision to keep moving as we had the tide and 3 navigation systems. He had picked our next anchorage at Haverstraw-a designated anchorage according to Waterway Guide. It was slow, hugging the shore. We were hailed on 16, the emergency channel by a large freighter who saw us on his radar. He asked if we could give him room. I responded that we were hugging the shore. He thanked us as he passed. I told him he looked amazing in the fog. I’m sure he smiled. 16 is only meant for serious emergency chatter. He looked like a ghost ship passing by. We kept well out of the channel super close to shore with Davids superb navigating abilities. The bridges were scary as we had to try and spot the pillars early enough to avoid them. Visibility at times was no more than 100m. However, the beauty of the fog on the Hudson was startling. The sunrise over the fog was like hope on the horizon.
Later, we passed Westpoint. The famous training facility for army officers of the US. The cream of the crop. The buildings were striking, and they seemed carved into the cliff faces. A huge facility, Westpoint has old sections and newer buildings even houses an observatory. I prayed that the officers training would be wise and love peace.
Then we hit the Catskill mountains. Now I know why they are famous. The mountains were almost at peak colours. The river winded through them with small towns interpersed throughout. Some lighthouses were beatufiul stone buildings in the middle of the river. We even passed Kairos’ twin- a 28 ‘ freedom!
When we arrived at Peekskill and passed it to head to our designated anchorage, we realized the entrance to the anchorage was too shallow to enter. Now we had to choose to move forward against tide and wind to our next planned achorage, 14 kms away or find something else. I was able to spot a small one directly across at Stoney Point park. We crossed the big body of water as the is the Hudson as it widens towards the big apple. We found the anchorage, perfect for our needs, protected from south and south east winds, exact wind direction we were facing plus mud bottom. We anchored with no issues. When we descended to make supper, I noticed the bilge running. David opened it up and saw water pouring in that the bilge was pumping out! Our propeller shaft had broken free, a bolt had split and left a hole where water was pouring in. David had to dive under the boat (thank God I had brought wet suit, flippers, mask and snorkel). David , sick with with a flu, dove under and pushed the shaft back in, effectively stopping the water leak. As he was tired, and ill, and only less than 2 hrs of daylight, we decided to stay put tomorrow and fix it permanently with the new screw after had rested, supper and slept as we had been up since 5. While we were looking at the damage, police boat came by asking for documents. They said they had the power to ask for documents of foreign vessels. They were not coast guard but super friendly. They started asking about the boat, and how they admired it. They were shocked when David told them, he had built it over 20 yrs. I passed them our passports, registration papers and emailed them the custom email accepting our crossing into US over the CBP Roam app. They thanked us and waved us away. Police officers are just amazing.
I made David a quick chicken meal, I had pate and rice cakes due to lateness and we sat in the cockpit and watched the sunset. After dark, I jumped when I heard loud explosions to ascertain that no, they weren’t shooting on the island, we were right in front of a spectacular fireworks show. We got up and walked on deck and took photos and video of an amazing fireworks display. I think God knew we needed a pick up after a stressful, long, day.

Gonzalo Soltero's book Conspiracy Narratives South of the Border: Bad Hombres Do the Twist (Routledge, 2022) examines four conspiracy narratives from Mexico that push the boundaries of conspiracy research in a new direction. They include narratives about Lee Harvey Oswald's visit to Mexico City, shortly before he apparently assassinated JFK, and street gangs across borders and how some of our worst fears are projected into them. ‘Lights Out’ and ‘Burundanga’ are popular narratives across the border, but Soltero provides us with their contextualization in Mexico and tells us how they transformed from urban legends into conspiracy theories.
Mexico is a fertile terrain for conspiracy theories due to its complex social environment and its proximity to the United States, which not only made it a strategic platform during the Cold War but also today’s land of bad hombres that according to Donald Trump should be fended off with a wall. Conspiracy theories are always narrative in nature, telling us about the state of the world and the actors behind such states of affairs. This narrativity tends to be so enthralling that they have increasingly become the substance of entertainment and even politics. This volume analyses Mexican conspiracy narratives, explaining how they produce meaning in a variety of different social and political contexts.

The Newcastle Eagles WBBL side continued their recent excellent form and significant improvement this weekend with a fabulous road trip that brought them two superb wins,
After Saturday’s nail-biting 68 – 67 win over Essex Rebels that saw them through to the WBBL Trophy Semi-Final they stopped off in Nottingham on the way home and saw off the Wildcats 67 – 47 in their WBBL Championship clash.
A result that lifts the Eagles league record to a level 6 wins 6 loss performance consolidating their 6th place in the table and continuing their fine run which has lifted them into the play-off positions.
Head Coach Noelia Cacheiro’s charges have now won their last four games. Three in the WBBL Championship and a 90 – 82 first-round WBBL Trophy win over Sunday’s opponents after finally getting a settled roster and players back from injury.
That said Abby Lowe who only managed a shade over six minutes in Saturday’s Trophy win did sit last night’s game out as a precaution and the hero of the Trophy win Katie Nolan only played limited minutes. It made the road win all the sweeter.
Nolan indeed was not in the starting five nor was Maggie Justinak. Chloe Gaynor and Zoe Willis stepping up from the bench to show the versatility and depth of Cacheiro’s bench at the moment.
Not that the starters made the best of the early going. Nette Lewis actually made the first bucket of the game but Nottingham scored the next six points to lead by four with 7:45 left to play in the first. That’s when Newcastle took over.
A powerhouse defensive performance saw them hold their hosts scoreless for the rest of the first period as they responded with a 13 – 0 run to lead by nine after the first ten minutes.
Then they scored the first five points of the second period before Wildcats netted to end Eagles’ powerful 18-point unanswered run. It was a fleeting reprieve for the home side as Newcastle shut them down very effectively.
A 20 – 5 quarter completed by Lewis’s triple meant that the Eagles had all but confirmed the destiny of the game as they headed to the half-time locker room 35 – 11 to the good. An astonishing defensive effort that showcased the potential of their squad.
Lewis scored the first basket of the second half to give Newcastle their biggest lead of the but Wildcats responded with an 8 – 0 run that showed spirit and character.
Nottingham actually took the period by three points closing the gap to 47 – 26 going into the final ten minutes where all Newcastle had to do was see the game through.
A Molly Arnold lay-up actually restored the Eagles lead back to 26 points at 60 – 34 before a determined Nottingham side managed a 13 – 0 run to temporarily halt the Newcastle juggernaut with 2:44 to go. But it was too little too late.
The Eagles steadied and scored the last seven points of the contest to see out the game and take an excellent road win and complete a magnificent weekend for them and their coaching staff.
Cacheiro had talked before the game about ‘owning’ the Wildcats and after a third victory over their opponents this season it was a justified claim. This Eagles side is in fine form and really rolling at the moment.
Almost inevitably they were once again led by power forward Nette Lewis whilst teammate Chloe Gaynor pulled down12 rebounds. The guard play of Maggie Justinak and Marina Fernandez creating the opportunities for all to prosper.
Katie Nolan was in restricted minutes mode but the contributions of Zoe Willis, Racheal Bland and Courtney Claesen were also key as a very solid looking Eagles team continues to grow and progress.

If you have ever glanced at the airspace surrounding a large airport on Flightradar24, you will very likely have spotted aircraft circling close in patterns that mimic racetracks. If you have never done so, you will almost certainly not have noticed these patterns. A holding pattern is the term for this situation.
Pilots who are waiting for additional approval to continue to the next stage of their trip or to land at an airport may perform a maneuver known as a holding pattern. In essence, they serve the purpose of organizing and managing the movement of aircraft in a safe manner while they are waiting to land. During a holding pattern, an aircraft will typically fly an oval or ‘racetrack’ shaped route at a certain altitude in order to wait for clearance from air traffic control to continue. Although this is most usually linked with the regions close to large airports, a hold may also be flown around the waypoints that are scattered throughout a route. A ‘holding fix’ refers to the point that the aircraft maintains its position around. If you take a look at the approach chart for London Gatwick Airport (LGW), you will see that there is a VOR/DME holding fix labeled Mayfield ‘MAY’ in the bottom right corner.
What is the purpose of airplanes flying in holding patterns?
There are many different reasons why airplanes fly in holding patterns. Holding helps to maintain a safe spacing between the aircraft in question and any other planes that may be nearby. It gives pilots the opportunity to solve any onboard problems or crises and enables air traffic controllers to appropriately organize the flow of aircraft entering and exiting an airport. When confronted with a critical circumstance, aircraft will squawk 7700. By creating a general emergency alert on Flightradar24, you will have a much simpler time locating these types of aircraft. When holding a hold, pilots and controllers alike need to keep in mind a number essential criteria, including…
Speed: maintaining airplanes at a speed that minimizes the amount of fuel that is burned while still allowing for an orderly flow of traffic
When there is a lot of traffic in a hold, the planes are frequently stacked at varying heights. In general, turboprop aircraft are able to hold at lower altitudes than jet aircraft, and as a result, turboprop aircraft are needed by law to have an additional 45 minutes of fuel for holding (whereas jet aircraft only need 30 minutes of fuel because they can hold at higher altitudes).
Time: Pilots and controllers collaborate to ensure that the time passengers spend in the hold is adequately managed, that any delays are appropriately communicated to passengers, and that the hold is kept in a safe environment.
How to locate airplanes that are currently parked on Flightradar24?
Holding patterns are utilized by the majority of airports throughout the globe in order to securely regulate the flow of traffic. The following are three helpful hints that may be used on Flightradar24 to locate airplanes flying in holding patterns.
Check out airports with a large passenger volume, such London Heathrow (LHR) and Frankfurt (FRA), both of which are examples of high density airports.
Take a look at our index of airport disruptions; the more severe the disruption, the greater the likelihood that flights will be delayed or canceled.
You may add Navaids to your map on Flightradar24; these Navaids contain the beacons that are utilized as holding fixes. Visit this page to learn how to do it.

The battle for ticketing supremacy in Europe is looking more like a game of chess between
The purchase of the £3.5 million turnover company, which specialises in selling tickets for German soccer clubs including Hertha Berlin, HSV Hamburg, BoRussia Dortmund and FC Cologne, comes a month after Ticketmaster occupied another square of the board by acquiring the same city’s Kartenhaus.
The battle lines as they’re drawn at the moment show Ticketmaster with a U.K. stronghold.
It also has a Scandinavian market dominance that was tied up when European business development VP Paul Lafontaine added the purchase of local ticketing giants Lippupalvelu (Finland) and BiljettDirekt Ticnet (Sweden) to the businesses it already had in Denmark and Norway. It also has Holland’s Ticket Service Nederland.
CTS currently dominates the German market, with its 2004 online business showing a 146 percent increase in earnings from euro 3.7 million to euro 9.2 million. It also has something of a stranglehold on the territory between Austria and the Adriatic, with satellite companies dotted around what was once Yugoslavia.
The acquisition of Sportfive Tixx, which is selling 8 million tickets year, is a neat fit with CTS’ flagship project as exclusive supplier for next year’s World Cup soccer tournament. That’s expected to bring in more than 3 million ticket sales and a box office gross of around euro 250 million.
Other ticket agencies rumoured to be acquisition targets include the Swiss-based Ticket Corner, Sherpa and TTS in Belgium and the Czech Republic’s Ticketpro.

An African architect has built a children’s library for Ghana’s poorest using 45,000 recycled plastic bottles.
The library was built in the town of Kokrobite, a fishing community on the outskirts of the capital Accra in southern Ghana.
The building will be used as a library and storage facility after its completion.
The project was the brainchild of architect Martial Zohoungbogbo, who has Ghanaian and Beninese citizenship, who explained that the area does not have enough classrooms and some teachers have to hold classes under the shade of trees.
The architect carried out the project thanks to fundraisers and the help of the local community.
Zohoungbogbo told local media: “The children will have access to the Internet, read books, take classes together, and finally have a place to have fun.”
Kokrobite is considered one of the least developed towns in the region and most families are dependent on a local fishing industry and cannot afford better education for the youngsters.
Zohoungbogbo, who came to the town 30 years ago, learned the construction technique with plastic bottles from a German architect.
He explained that the building is mostly made up of larger bottles filled with soil and tied tightly with rope.
He said these filled bottles act as ‘bricks’ for the walls while smaller bottles were arranged in layers as columns.
The architect added that he carried out a similar construction for a classroom at a local school that took four months to complete.
He also plans to expand the library in the near future. For now, the library boasts a children’s biology exhibition as well as seminars for parents in the community.

Viral Video Exposes ‘Slow Poison’ Reality Behind Mango Juice Packaging
By News 24 Media, Food Correspondent
Published on August 31, 2024
The Shocking Revelation- Viral Video
Mango juice has long been a beloved beverage in Indian households. From scorching summers to lazy afternoons, a chilled glass of mango juice often provides sweet relief. But what if I told you that the process behind your favourite tetra pack mango juice might not be as wholesome as it seems?
A recent viral video shared by a content creator on Instagram has sent shockwaves through social media. The viral video, titled “Tetra Pack Mango Juice,” exposes the behind-the-scenes reality of how mango juice is manufactured and packaged. And let me tell you, it’s not a pretty sight.
The Unsettling Process
In the viral video, we witness an assembly line at a juice processing plant. Here’s what unfolds:
- The Yellow Liquid: A yellow-coloured liquid substance flows into a large vat. This is supposedly the base for mango juice.
- Colouring and Sweetening: Red and orange food colouring is added, along with copious amounts of sugar syrup. These ingredients transform the pale yellow liquid into the vibrant orange hue we associate with mango juice.
- Chemicals and Mixing: Other undisclosed chemicals are thrown into the mix. The churning machine blends everything, creating a uniform concoction.
- Packaging: The processed liquid is then pumped into plastic bottles or paper packets. These containers are sealed and labelled as mango juice.
- Carton Assembly: The bottles are packed into large cartons, ready for distribution to retailers.
As soon as the viral video hit the internet, consumers expressed their shock and disappointment. Here are some of the reactions:
- “I thank God for social media. I’ve stopped craving or drinking a lot of things that taste delicious. All these delicious 200 percent fruit juices—I don’t drink them anymore.” – A concerned viewer.
- “Where is the mango pulp?” – An incredulous comment.
- “Other than mango, everything is there.” – A disappointed observer.
- “Slow poison…and the government is behind them.” – An angry response.
- “I am not buying juice in the store anymore because of this video.” – A determined consumer.
The Call for Transparency and Accountability
This eye-opening viral video has ignited discussions about the need for stricter regulations in the food and beverage industry. Consumers rightfully demand transparency. After all, when we buy mango juice, we expect real mango pulp—not a chemical cocktail masquerading as nature’s nectar.
As the video continues to circulate, health-conscious individuals are rethinking their beverage choices. Perhaps it’s time to explore homemade juices that boost immunity and steer clear of unhealthy packaged options.
So, the next time you reach for that tetra pack of mango juice, remember the journey it took to get there. And maybe, just maybe, we’ll collectively push for better practices and genuine fruit goodness in our favourite beverages.

Fears in Australia and New Zealand have emerged in concerns with food safety. This is after a sewing needle was discovered in a strawberry.
The two countries have launched investigations and so far six different strawberry producers products has been recalled. The scare started last week in the state of Queensland and later spread. Reports emerged of needles found in strawberries in 6 different Australian states.
Associated Press reports that the Australian Federal Health Minister Greg Hunt ordered the national food safety watchdog to investigate Queensland’s handling of the needle scare.
He called for Food Standards to investigate whether there supply malfunctions on their part that need to be resolved.
“The job is very, very clear. Protect the public and keep them safe,” Hunt told Australian Broadcasting Corp.
— Nine News Australia (@9NewsAUS) September 14, 2018
There have been unverified reports of an Australian man alerting police, after he found in a needle in his sin while washing strawberries and a 7-year-old girl who this weekend found a needle in “a Western Australian-grown strawberry. it is not yet known whether these reports are true or merely a social media hoax.
Strawberry producers have now invested in metal detectors in order to scan their produce before packaging and delivering to supermarkets.

Travis Kelce has joked about his current physique after photos of the Chiefs star rocking a ‘Dad bod’ on holiday with Taylor Swift surfaced last week.
Kelce and Swift, who have been dating publicly for the past six months, jetted to the Bahamas for a romantic getaway this month after the pop megastar wrapped up her latest round of Eras Tour concerts in Singapore.
Photographers caught the pair lapping up the sunshine at the beach on Thursday, with the Kansas City Chiefs star’s relaxed physique in the NFL offseason drawing attention on social media.
And on the latest episode of his and brother Jason’s New Heights podcast, which featured a special guest in new Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley, Kelce joked that he is currently in the same weight class as his 283-pound sibling.
When Barkley asked the brothers who would win a drinking contest between them, Jason first said: ‘I can definitely drink more volume, I don’t even think that’s a question.’
Travis then said: ‘Whaaaaaat? You’re already down to 260.’
After Jason told him he actually weighs 283 pounds, the Chiefs tight end laughed: ‘We’re in the same weight class now. It’s March! We’re in the same weight class right now.’
Kelce enjoyed a holiday with Swift in the Bahamas while unwinding in the NFL offseason, having helped Kansas City become the first back-to-back Super Bowl champions for almost 20 years last term.
His girlfriend racked up thousands of air miles travelling to watch him play for the Chiefs last season, while he also headed out to Australia to support the singer and songwriter on her Eras Tour last month.
At the end of their latest podcast, Travis’ brother Jason made a not-so-subtle hint to romance with Taylor.
During a portion of their interview with new Barkley, the Eagles’ new signing talked about wanting to be the next Apollo Creed, one of the main characters from the ‘Rocky’ film franchise.
Jason then told Barkley to ‘throw it out there’ because ‘stuff happens when it goes out on New Heights’.
Those comments referenced Travis gushing over Swift on an episode over the summer after he attended her Eras Tour in Kansas City. The younger Kelce wanted to meet Swift at the show, going as far to make her a friendship bracelet, common among Swift’s fans, with his number on it.
Although the meeting did not originally happen at one of her concerts, Swift later said his shout out to her on ‘New Heights’ got her attention and kickstarted their romance.

Labor Day is now seen as the official end of summer and a day off (at least for those who actually get paid holiday leave) to grill or go to the beach one last time. But when it was originally conceived as a federal holiday, it was as a concession to the labor movement after bloody union unrest that left 30 striking workers dead. It was meant as a day to celebrate the efforts and sacrifices of unionized workers.
A shrinking share of Americans are union members today. But the benefits brought about by the union movement are still just as strong, particularly when it comes to workers’ pay.
Being in a union is particularly helpful for marginalized groups that tend to be paid less than white men. A new report from the Center for Economic and Policy Research found that black union workers earn wages that are, on average, 16.4 percent higher than black workers who aren’t in a union. The same is true for women: a report from the Institute for Women’s Policy Research found that women in a union earn 30.9 percent more than women who aren’t unionized.
Unionization also yields salary benefits for white men, who get a 20.1 percent boost for being in a union. But the wage-boosting power of unions has been hampered as the share of workers who belong to one has declined. In 1983, the earliest year the Bureau of Labor Statistics has data for, 20.1 percent of the workforce belonged to a union. Today that share has been cut nearly in half, down to 11.1 percent.
That’s hurt everyone’s wages, not just unionized workers. The wage-boosting power of unions usually spills out into other workplaces because they set standards that everyone ends up adopting. A new report from the Economic Policy Institute found that for men working in the private sector who aren’t in a union, their weekly wages would be about 5 percent higher if union membership had stayed at the same rate as it was in 1979. That would mean an extra $2,704 per year on average. Non-union women would also benefit, but the impact would be smaller- a 2 to 3 percent increase in wages- because women have historically been a much smaller share of union workers.
The drop in union membership, and the subsequent erosion of the wage benefits for all workers, has played a role in widening wage inequality, holding down pay at the bottom of the scale but less so at the top. In fact, other researchers have found a strong correlation between the fall of union power and the rise of income inequality.

Close to 80,000 bottles of Atlanta-brewed beer were gone in seconds.
The hops heist happened early Tuesday morning at the SweetWater Brewing Company in Atlanta. Company officials said more than 3,000 cases had been loaded into two 53-foot trailers ready to roll out in the morning. That’s when thieves pulled up, hooked up the trailers and swiped the trailers full the suds.

Several hours later the trailers were found at separate locations. Both were empty. A few hours after that, about one-fourth of the beer was discovered in Conley, just south of Atlanta.
“There were ten pallets of SweetWater sitting on the top of some docks with a blue tarp on top of it,” said Steve Farace with SweetWater Brewing Company.
The search is on for the rest of the brew and the thieves who took it. A spokesperson from the company says Tuesday afternoon Atlanta Police recovered more beer after a man told them a guy driving a tractor trailer cab sold him some beer. Another woman reached out to the brewery. “One consumer who learned of the theft from local news stories reached out to the brewery after a man driving a yellow truck’s cab offered to sell her beer.” says Tucker Berta Sarkisian with SweetWater.
“Hopefully there are some folks out there that will keep a lookout for SweetWater beer that’s in a place that it shouldn’t be,” said Farace.
With the company’s reputation on the line, when and if that beer is found, the company will destroy it because it has been handled or stored improperly.
“We’re going to destroy it because we’re not comfortable with it being sold under the name SweetWater name,” said Farace.
Employees at the brewery will have to work overtime, to ensure there isn’t a shortage as we head into the Fourth of July holiday weekend.
“It’s not like we have plenty more just sitting in the tank, we have to make more beer and that’s a two week process for us to replenish all that,” said Farace.

Moses Sumney and Halsey have been chosen to appear in Ti West’s horror film named MaXXXine, which is the third movie from his X series. It will be distributed by A24, with Mia Goth as the lead star. Other celebrities who are part of this cast include Kevin Bacon, Lily Collins, Bobby Cannavale, Elizabeth Debicki, Michelle Monaghan and Giancarlo Esposito. If you’re curious about all these celebs, check out A24’s announcement post and watch the trailer for MaXXXine below!
Sumney and Halsey have both done acting in movies and TV shows. Sumney was in Creed, Random Acts of Flyness, and The Idol which is coming to HBO. Halsey has been in American Dad, Teen Titans Go! To the Movies, Roadies, A Star Is Born and more.
Director West’s newest movie takes place in the 1980s, right after X happened. The story is about Maxine, an aspiring actress trying to make it big in Los Angeles. A sneak peek of the movie was shown at the end of Pearl, which came out last September.
Last year, a movie called X came out that showed some people who wanted to make a porn film on a creepy farm. It featured Goth, Kid Cudi, Jenna Ortega and Brittany Snow in it. During the credits, another movie called Pearl was advertised as a prequel to X.
MaXXXine is a new movie written and directed by West which will start filming this month.

Rape is among the worst ravages of war, and right now it is an epidemic in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Victims range from baby girls to grandmothers and in many cases, they are ostracized from their communities. Though their bodies are broken, their spirits are not, and they want their perpetrators to be brought to justice.
Sarah Anderson, PhD, forensic nurse in the Department of Emergency Medicine at the University of Virginia Health System, is part of a UVA team that will travel to the DRC to educate clinicians on collecting evidence and providing care for the overwhelming number of rape victims they see daily. They will depart July 7 and return July 23.
“Here in America, we believe we should be able to wear what we want to wear and go where we want to go without becoming victims of rape,” says Anderson. “There, women live with rape as a daily reality, even expecting it to happen to them at some time.”
In fact, one worldwide relief organization in the DRC treats nearly 250 new rape victims in their clinics each month, and there is a growing concern that rape has crossed over from war-related violence to a societal problem. The Great Lakes Restoration Organization, an American-based group that aids eastern African countries affected by war and disease, sponsors peace-building projects in the DRC. Anderson’s trip is a part of their effort.
“We will conduct interviews with the local health providers to find out what their needs are, what works and what needs to be fixed,” says Anderson. “We will also listen to their narratives describing what they manage on a daily basis.”
Anderson’s goal is to provide clinicians in the DRC with the tools they need to properly examine and care for their patients. Ultimately, she hopes that her work will result in justice for the women and girls of the Congo.
Other members of the UVA team include Barbara Parker, PhD, professor in the UVA School of Nursing (SON) and UVA SON doctoral student Jamela Martin. They also will be joined by a team from Johns Hopkins University.

Non-profit organization, The Raining Season is grateful to No More Poverty and co-founders, Michael Omidi and Julian Omidi for their support of the charity’s humanitarian work in Sierra Leone.
The Raining Season appreciates the support of No More Poverty and co-founders Michael Omidi, MD and Julian Omidi. The charity operates a children’s orphanage in Sierra Leone that provides safe harbor, regular meals, high quality health care, and education programs for more than 90 local children. Additionally, the Raining Season facilitates a high-touch and personal sponsorship program between American donors and the children as well as multiple humanitarian trips to West Africa everyyear.
“We found the orphans of Sierra Leone to be voiceless, vulnerable, trafficked, neglected and in desperate need of hope and help. Rescuing exploited children is messy. It is hard work and the journey is dark,” says Tina Schmidt, Executive Director, of the Raining Season. “We however are richly blessed to have been given more than 125 acres in the capital city of Freetown to care for and love these forgotten little ones. Thank you, No More Poverty for your help which enables us to continue this life-savingwork.”
About No More Poverty
No More Poverty (nmp.org) is a not-for-profit charity organization with a pending 501(c)(3) application founded by brothers Michael Omidi, M.D. and Julian Omidi. The organization seeks to end poverty at home and abroad by supporting the efforts of like-minded charities and agencies. Current efforts are focused on increasing awareness of and donations to charities already doing great work to address poverty and its staggering effects throughout the world. The plan is to expand our activities to include fostering business development and job creation in disenfranchisedareas.

No More Poverty does not accept monetary support, but instead encourages direct donations to the charities featured on nmp.org. For more information, please visit Facebook/nmp.org or nmp.org.
About The Raining Season
The Raining Season (therainingseason.org) provides a unique sponsorship opportunity centered on facilitating a personal relationship between sponsor and child. The goal is to promote a relationship that builds life-long bonds of trust so that both participants experience the joy that comes from truly changing the life of another. The organization was founded in 2008 by Jason Rust and his wife Erica Stone following their successful adoption of their daughter Jayda from Sierra Leone. This experience opened their eyes to the devastating conditions suffered by the people of this West African country following a brutal civilwar.
The Raining Season operates a fully-staffed care center in Freetown, Sierra Leone called the Covering. More than 90 orphans live there 24/7 and receive loving care, safety and protection — all in a family atmosphere. Donors receive regular communication from their sponsored child, including letters, photos, school updates, artwork, and a monthly Skype visit for real, personal interaction. The organization also coordinates several humanitarian trips to Sierra Leone every year. Look to their website for dates, scheduled activities and an opportunity to sign-up.

What exactly constitutes a great, balanced lunchbox for kids?
We?d all like our kids to eat a good mix of things, but sometimes even enticing them to eat one thing is hard enough!
One of Australia?s most celebrated and best-loved family cooks, Julie Goodwin, says she too has faced her own share of lunchbox dilemmas.
?My sons are now 21, 20 and 18 and believe me there have been plenty of times I?ve run out ideas,? she laughs. ?I know what it?s like to pack lunch boxes day in and day out, and how tricky it can be to come up with food to keep them interested that?s still healthy and no-fuss. Whilst I don?t think there?s any such thing as a ?perfect? lunchbox, you can offer a variety of things that make up a tasty, balanced lunch. The more interesting you can make each component the more likely they are to eat all of it.?
The former MasterChef winner and Star 104.5 radio host recently teamed up with Weet-Bix to devise a unique eCookbook of lunch box snacks – Julie Goodwin?s Weet-Bix Lunchbox Snacks Cookbook.?It features quick and easy tasty treats made with crushed Weet-Bix, including apple crumble muffins, hommus dip, mini banana and strawberry loaf, spinach parcels, zucchini and corn slice, sultana pikelets, samosa patties and more.
Here are Julie;s top ideas for a balanced lunch box that kids will love:
Pack some protein
Cold chicken is often a favourite addition in kids? lunchboxes, however you could make it a bit more interesting by grilling some chicken strips with some sweet chilli sauce. Or baking chicken drumsticks with a honey and soy glaze. Cold chicken wings that have been baked in teriyaki sauce are also delicious.
2. Carb it up
So sandwiches, which are easy to prepare ahead and freeze, are always a bit of a lifesaver. Good quality ham, rocket and aioli sandwiches freeze well. As does corned beef, mango chutney and Jarlsberg cheese. Just pop them frozen into a lunchbox in the morning and they will thaw out by lunchtime. Or else a muffin or flatbread with a dip like hommus (there?s a great recipe for this in the Weet-Bix eCookbook) is also a good choice for a carb hit.
3. Add some fun fruit
Rather than just popping an apple or banana into a lunchbox which gets a bit boring, do fruit skewers such as pieces of rockmelon, watermelon and honeydew melon. Or else frozen seedless grapes are really refreshing and crunchy in summer time.
4. Crank up the crunch
Kids adore crunchy stuff, so a small whole wheat cracker or low-salt pretzels are good choices. Or else add some pizazz to some popcorn by making a savoury version. Toss the popped corn with a little mild paprika, lemon pepper, onion powder and garlic powder for something more-ish and different.
5. Don?t forget a treat
So rather than popping a piece of chocolate or a packet of potato chips in for a treat, there are a number of additions you can make which kids will love just as much and are far more healthy! Bliss Balls are a perfect as they is no actual cooking involved and can be frozen or stored in a sealed container for later.

Food to learn, grow, and thrive
California is home to one of the world’s largest economies—and the nation’s highest rate of child poverty. Millions of children across our state rely on publicly funded nutrition programs operated by schools, community organizations, and childcare providers. These programs are a lifeline for the more than 2 million California kids living in households that struggle with food insecurity.
In 2022, California became the first state in the nation to provide universal school meals to all school-aged children. The program offers breakfast and lunch free of cost to any child who wants to participate. The sustainability of this program depends largely on optimizing federal and state funding. In addition, we must make sure that every child has access to meals during the summer months. Nourish California is working to bridge the gaps so kids have year-round access to nutritious foods.
Every kids deserves access to food every day. This campaign pursues this by advocating for school meals, Summer and Pandemic EBT, and more.

The Red Wings hosted the Philadelphia Flyers for a matinee game and celebrated a 4-2 victory. Here are eight observations from the sweep of the mini-series:
1. Troy Stecher is back: Coming off of IR from an injury very early on in the season, Stecher is back in action alongside his teammates. Leading up to the game, Stecher had recently removed the non-contact jersey at practices which indicated he was getting ready to return to the lineup. The Red Wings are still waiting on Jakub Vrana to make a full recovery from his shoulder injury he retained shortly into training camp in September. It appears that he is making consistent progress and has been practicing in a non-contact jersey for a few weeks now and the team is looking forward to his return.
2. Thomas Greiss gets his first start in 13 games: Greiss has not seen game action since the Wings’ December 31st loss to the Washington Capitals. With such a lengthy break, one would expect a goaltender to come out struggling a bit, but that was not the case for Greiss today. In yesterday’s matchup, Greiss made some of his biggest saves of the season, especially those with his left pad or toe. He made a huge save in the back half of the 3rd period off of a turnover from Fabbri.
3. Tyler Bertuzzi nets an early goal to get the Red Wings on the board: The Guelph line is still on fire as Robby Fabbri tosses a pass to Bertuzzi, allowing him to take advantage of spotty Flyers’ defense and meet the back of the net. The trio of Tyler Bertuzzi, Robby Fabbri, and Pius Suter has proven to be one of the biggest strengths for the Red Wings’ offense as of late.
4. Penalty kill is staying strong. Greiss aided the Wings in killing off a penalty early in the second period by making two huge back-to-back saves from point-blank range shots. Defense and offense were largely working in tandem to clear the zone and obliterate scoring chances, even while being a man down. The Flyers’ power play is ranked 30th in the league, only slightly behind the Red Wings, while both teams are right next to each other in terms of penalty kill percentages (78.2% DET, 77.4% PHI).
5. Filip Zadina scores off of a drive from Dylan Larkin: Larkin caught a loose puck in the Red Wings zone and took it down the length of the ice, creating a lane to pass to Zadina for a shot on goal. Being on the same line as Dylan Larkin and Lucas Raymond creates more chances for Zadina to take shots as Larkin and Raymond are both players who take good looks and make smart passes that will likely result in a goal.
Having a spot on the first line has proved to make a difference in Zadina’s game and will hopefully help him get more goals under his belt throughout the remainder of the season.
6. Detroit shut down Philadelphia for two periods until allowing a goal with seven seconds remaining in the 2nd. The Philadelphia Flyers had been taking consistent shots on goal but were continuously getting denied by the defense or by Greiss himself. The Red Wings were running the show for stretches and were able to capitalize on the mistakes being made by the Flyers while eliminating their chances. The Flyers still found ways to score, though–both time quick strikes after seemingly looking like they were on the outside looking in.
7. Moritz Seider nets a power play goal, his fifth of the season. Bertuzzi set up a perfect screen in front of Carter Hart that made way for Seider to send a rocket into the back of the net. Larkin tallied his second assist of the afternoon, showing off his hockey sense and passing abilities that have made this his most successful season yet. Seider now has five goals, boosting him into a tie for third in the rookie points race.
8. Another game in which the Red Wings were outshot for the entire 60 minutes. The finally tally of show were 34-24 in favor of the Philadelphia Flyers but the Red Wings emerged victorious. This not only shows that Detroit’s offense was productive against the Flyers defense, but also that Detroit’s defense proved to be an obstacle for them. Greiss had an outstanding game with a .941 save percentage and some of his best saves so far this season.
This game was a must-win in order to get closer to overtaking the Bruins in the standings to secure a playoff spot. Walking away from a mini-series sweep against the Flyers gives this young Red Wings team a much needed confidence boost and momentum towards Monday’s matchup against a very good Minnesota team.

Tiger’s supporting the G.O.A.T!
The 18-time World Golf Champion and his girlfriend, Erica Herma, were spotted sitting alongside Serena’s sister, tennis star Venus Williams, at Arthur Ashe Stadium on Wednesday, August 31, where the younger Williams sibling defeated Estonian tennis player Anett Kontaveit, ranked number two in the world, in just three sets.
“He’s one of the reasons I’m here,” Serena told reporters of Tiger’s presence after securing the win, dubbing the golf icon “one of the main reasons I’m still playing.”
The tennis star, who is set to step back from the sport following the conclusion of the states-based tournament later this month, revealed Tiger offered her some valuable words of wisdom as she contemplated her retirement, encouraging her to give tennis one final go.
"I said, 'I don't know what to do: I think I'm over it, but maybe I'm not over [tennis],'" Serena recalled of her discussion with the golf icon in an essay for Vogue. "He's Tiger, and he was adamant that I be a beast the same way he is!”
As such, the 23-time Grand Slam title holder said Tiger, who has faced several moments of athletic adversity, including a roll-over car crash in February 2021, encouraged her to work out her conflicting emotions on the tennis court.
Want OK! each day? Sign up here!
“He said, 'Serena, what if you just gave it two weeks?'” the athlete remembered. “'You don't have to commit to anything. You just go out on the court every day for two weeks and give it your all and see what happens.' I said, 'All right, I think I can do that.'"
And it seems Tiger was onto something.
"I was good. I was really good," Serena wrote of heeding this advice, adding that it "felt magical to pick up a racket again." She would later go on to compete at Wimbledon in June before vying for the title of the 2022 U.S. Open champion.
People previously reported on Tiger's appearance at the match.

Effective Fruit Fly Control For Your Home and Business
Fruit flies are an incredibly resilient pest considering how small they are. Once they appear, all of their potential breeding points must be removed in order to begin controlling the population. They are attracted to all food products, but are particularly fond of fermented foods and decaying fruit or vegetable matter.
A common infestation point in the home might surprise you: the garbage disposal. Small bits of food can get stuck in this appliance and if left alone for long enough, invite the fruit fly to stop over for a visit. With a life cycle that lasts for 25-30 days, it only takes a few weeks for a household to be dealing with multiple generations of this pest.
Removal of Fruit Flies Requires Mutual Assistance
Our Professional Fruit Fly Control services can help to treat the adult fruit flies that may be buzzing around the home, but this is one pest where we need your help to keep the home pest free.
• Fruit flies will breed on any open food containers, trash bins, or organic material.
• One forgetful moment of leaving food products out overnight can create the foundation for an infestation.
• Proactive treatments can only treat issues that are present during our visit.
Any new organic materials that are introduced into the environment after a treatment for fruit flies has been performed may create additional pests.
Although this pest can be difficult to remove at times, that doesn’t mean it is impossible. It just takes the two of us working together to meet one common goal: eradication. If you’re struggling with a fruit fly issue, then please feel free to give us a call today. There’s no obligation to our conversation and we’ll help to make sure this pest won’t keep bothering you.

Years ago it was decided that St. Paul's could no longer afford to maintain the organ and that the area taken up by the piping should be turned into useable space.
Armed with that the then property committee were considering the next steps to take. The Wardens at that time hired outside local contractors. The ACW members agreed to fund a portion of the project which included removing the organ “guts” housed in a small room next to the chancel. Prior to COVID-19 the contractors completed the construction of two partial stud walls along with the electrical wiring for four outlets and four light fixtures.
Fast forward to 2023 and services were getting back to normal at St. Paul’s. There was some discussion around the organ room situation and what was to be done since there were little funds available. Peter Galvin took on the project with enthusiasm. He had a vision of what the finished project should be which required the removal of one of the stud walls. With the help of Don Bridges, Rod Slack, Marty McCaw, Father Haynes, and the Wardens Julie Daxon and Ian Coombe, Peter was able to complete the room for considerably less than estimated earlier.
Some additional wiring had to be done and a timer had to be removed. Peggy Bell lent her decorative skills to finish the inside of the door with red ribbon and repaired a portion of molding. Rod Slack cleaned and stained the woodwork. The most exhilarating part of the project was scrubbing down the ceiling, the dirtiest and most delicate was washing the stained glass window three times. Roy Clarke's lighting fixtures set off the room perfectly. Marty and Peter had donated the carpet earlier and Brockville Floor and Wall installed it.
Julie Daxon undertook the job of furnishing the room with the congregation donating the furniture. We now have a warm inviting beautiful space for anything we want it to be, of course for prayer and quiet time. A big thank-you goes out to Peter for completing the project. Finally, the room was blessed by Father Haynes Hubbard and opened officially for use on May 7, 2023.

A tale of two contact-tracing apps – comparing Australia’s CovidSafe and New Zealand’s NZ Covid Tracer
posted on 2022-04-10, 23:14 authored by Bronwyn HowellBronwyn Howell, PH PotgieterPurpose: The Australian and New Zealand governments have released smartphone-based apps to complement contact tracing in the event that they face a resurgence of COVID-19 infections. The apps form part of both countries’ policies to support a return to social and economic engagement following extended lockdowns. This paper aims to investigate the extent to which the two approaches are fit for purpose and compare their functional characteristics. Design/methodology/approach: Using process mapping and analysis, this paper evaluates the potential of the two apps to improve the performance of existing contact tracing systems across a range of efficiency and effectiveness criteria with an emphasis on the framework proposed by Verrall (2020). Findings: The Bluetooth-based Australian app appears likely to assist that country’s contact tracing system to perform more efficiently and effectively in the event of a resurgence of the virus and should increase confidence in re-engagement. The New Zealand QR code-based app, however, is not well-aligned with these objectives. Its interaction with a range of other regulations and obligations, combined with the inconvenience it imposes on its users, is likely to militate against its use. Bluetooth-based apps based on interactions between individuals likely better support these population-based objectives than QR code-based location-specific apps. Originality/value: This paper provides an original and extensive analysis of the functionality and effectiveness of Australia and New Zealand’s official contact-tracing apps.

Rethinking Intergenerational Transmission(s): Does a Wellbeing Lens Help? The Case of Nutrition
posted on 2024-09-05, 23:36 authored by Andy Sumner, Lawrence Haddad, Laura Gomez ClimentThe intergenerational transmission (IGT) of poverty is a well?established conceptualisation of how poverty is reproduced over time. IGT has been a popular approach but as currently constructed it tends to be overly deterministic, and to overly emphasise material assets. In contrast, ‘wellbeing’ is emerging as a complement to the more traditional ways of conceptualising and measuring poverty and deprivation around material consumption. Wellbeing extends attention from what people can do and be and adds how people feel about what they can do and be. Wellbeing is thus explicitly rather than inferentially about agency and also goes beyond the material to consider the relational and the subjective domains of life. So, can a wellbeing lens help us to rethink IGT? We use an application to an IGT mechanism: the transmission of undernutrition from one generation to the next.

In preparation for next years main Blog Challenge I have signed up for this.
Project 333 is the brainchild of Courtney Carver, you can read all about it HERE on her brilliant Blog. It seems very similar to something Gok Wan did a year or so ago on TV when he went through ladies wardrobes virtually jettisoning all their clothes and then built them a basic wardrobe of about 30 items.
The basics for Project 333 are very simple.
*** *** ***
■When: Every three months (It’s never too late to start so join in anytime!)
■What: 33 items including clothing, accessories, jewelry, outerwear and shoes.
■What not: these items are not counted as part of the 33 items – wedding ring or another sentimental piece of jewelry that you never take off, underwear, sleep wear, in-home lounge wear, and workout clothing (you can only wear your workout clothing to workout)
■How: Choose your 33 items, box up the remainder of your fashion statement, seal it with tape and put it out of site.
■What else: consider that you are creating a wardrobe that you can live, work and play in for three months. Remember that this is not a project in suffering. If your clothes don’t fit or are in poor condition, replace them.
*** *** ***
The first step is to assess ALL your clothes and go through them picking out the ones you love, the ones that are 'maybes' and the ones that you simply know can go straight away.
It sounds very do-able, and of course I'll let you know. I honestly didn't think I had as much as I do have, how did all this stuff creep back into my life, I only sorted out at the start of last year and already it would seem I am almost back to square one.
At the moment ALL my clothes , shoes and accessories are out on my bed, so I have to keep this brief and get back to sorting otherwise we'll have nowhere to sleep tonight!!

Thousands of elderly volunteers help ease health care crisis
Increased pressure on health and social care expected throughout 2017, has led thousands of older people in Scotland to step in and help ease the burden by gifting their time.
The Scotsman reports that new research from older people’s charity, Royal Voluntary Service, reveals over 432,000 people in Scotland aged 55 and over plan to volunteer in 2017, according to a survey. Royal Voluntary Service is one of the largest volunteer organisations in Britain. It has 35,000 volunteers, a large number of which support older people in hospital – from providing practical help and companionship on wards and making a patient’s stay in hospital more comfortable to assisting older people on their return home to settle back into their usual routine.
Given demand on services is set to grow, Royal Voluntary Service says more can be done to promote the benefits of volunteering, particular to older people.
Research shows nearly one in four (23 per cent) over-55s in the UK who currently, or plan to volunteer said retirement was the catalyst for this, Royal Voluntary Service wants it to become an integral part of many more retirees’ plans when they hang up their boots. This is echoed by one in ten of the over-55s polled, who say all retirees should volunteer.
Josephine Mill, head of support and Development for Royal Voluntary Service in Scotland said: “Volunteers are playing an increasingly essential role in this country, bringing help, smiles and conversation into the lives of a growing number of older people. The contribution they make in keeping our public services, particularly in the health and social care arena, functioning cannot be underestimated. It is inspiring to hear so many older adults are planning to share their time in 2017 and provide a much needed boost to the country’s volunteer workforce.”
The study reveals the top three reasons older people want to volunteer as: to give something back to the community (56 per cent), to stay mentally and physically active (38 per cent) and to meet more people (31 per cent). Research for Royal Voluntary Service by Professor James Nazroo found volunteering is not just a one-way street and by gifting their time, older people can also enjoy getting something back. It identified older people who volunteer are happier than their counterparts who don’t.
