Yahoo reports that the sexual assault scandal surrounding Bill Cosby heated up again yesterday as two more women, including an actress on the Cosby Show, came forward with new accusations against him.
In a press conference with their attorney, Lili Bernard and Sammie Mays told their stories. Lili appeared in an episode in the final season of “The Cosby Show,” were she claimed she was drugged, raped and threatened by Cosby while being mentored by him.
According to Bernard, Cosby was initially comforting and welcoming to her, complimenting her on her various skills. After winning her complete trust he drugged me and raped me.
Bernard claimed that she last saw Bill in 1992, where he told her, “As far as I’m concerned, Bernard, you’re dead. Do you hear me? You’re dead, Bernard. You don’t exist, I never wanna see your face again. Now get the hell out of here!”
“I took that as a death threat and was scared for my life,” Bernard said.
Since then Bernard claims to have become suicidal in the months following that encounter, and said she suffers from panic attacks and night terrors.
The other woman, Sammie Mays, said that she encountered Cosby in the mid-’80s, as a writer in New Orleans. According to Mays, when she asked Cosby for a brief interview, she invited him to walk with her from the convention center across the street to his hotel.
Once inside, Cosby mixed a drink for her with his back to her. After taking two big swigs, Mays said, “The next thing I remember when I awoke, I seemed to have been drooling, and was sloppily slouched in the chair with barely the edge of my bottom in it.”
She says her shirt was unbuttoned and her bra was slid to the side, exposing her breasts, and her belt had been “unhooked and re-hooked.”
Last week, three new accusers came forward to claim that they had been assaulted by Cosby, including a former model who claimed that she was “targeted and drugged by Cosby in 1975 at the Playboy Mansion in Chicago.
Cosby’s attorney has denied accusations made against the comedian in the past. Bill Cosby is scheduled to perform tonight in Atlanta.

For anyone going through addiction or who knows someone who is, the whole process can appear as one big blur. In reality, there is a gradual process leading to addiction, made up of seven distinct stages. Each step gets progressively more dangerous to a person’s well-being, and it becomes more complicated for the addict to quit. Understanding each stage and its associated behaviors is a valuable way to identify the challenges an addict might face and how easy it can be to get addicted.
The addiction process can be broken down into these seven stages:
- Regular usage
- Risky Usage
The starting point of addiction is the initial stage when the individual tries a substance for the first time. While this stage can happen at any point in one’s life, the National Insititute on Drug Abuse explains that “adolescents are particularly vulnerable because of the strong influence of peer pressure.” Adolescence is typically a time of experimentation and trying new things. As a result, young people are more likely to engage in “thrilling” or “daring” behavior and are less likely to consider the long-term consequences of their actions. In 2021, the percentage of people aged 12 or older with a substance use disorder was highest among young adults aged 18 to 25 .
A range of factors can affect how likely a person is to become addicted.
- Some of these factors are biological, such as one’s mental health. Conditions like depression and anxiety create a vulnerable emotional makeup that can make individuals more susceptible to developing an addiction.
- Other factors are environmental, which refers to the surrounding social environment the drug user inhabits. One’s family environment is a component – things such as an unstable family unit and a lack of parental supervision can put an individual more at risk.
- Drug availability and peer usage also come into play – those surrounded by others taking drugs will be more likely to do them themselves. As the National Institute on Drug Abuse explains, “the more risk factors an individual has, the greater the chance that taking drugs will lead to abuse and addiction.”
The fact that someone has tried a drug does not mean they are guaranteed to develop an addiction. Their drug usage could just be a phase of curiosity and experimentation that does not develop into a long-term habit. That being said, the earlier a person begins to use drugs, the more likely they are to progress into serious use.
Even though peer pressure can be a factor at play, the initial decision to take drugs is mostly voluntary, and there are no feelings of compulsion at this point.
At the experimentation stage, the user begins to move from seeing the drug in isolation to making the connection that it will create some sort of desired effect in their life. They will start to take it in different settings to see what positive impacts it can bring. Those suffering from a mental health problem, such as anxiety or depression, for example, may take the drug to see how it can alleviate their pain. Jawad Fatayer, in the Journal of Applied Social Science , explains that other common motivations for taking drugs are “thrill, peace, comfort, concentration, sexual performance, escape, confidence, coping mechanism, power, sense of belonging, the desire to be like everybody else, and many other positive cognitive and emotional energies.”
Carlo C. DiClemente  explains, “if the addictive behavior supplies a significant amount of positive reinforcement (excitement, social ease, and pleasure) and/or a significant amount of negative reinforcement (relief from boredom, frustration, and negative feelings), individuals tend to seek out and increase their engagement in the behavior.”
At this stage, the individual does not yet have a craving for the drug and is still able to make a decision as to whether to engage with it or not.
3. Regular Usage
In the third stage, the addictive behavior becomes more central to the user as their life narrows around it. As a result, they become progressively more dependent on the drug.
Their usage grows from sporadic to regular use. This does not mean that they use it daily, but rather their usage of drugs or alcohol becomes more predictable. They might, for example, take the drug every time they become triggered by a particular stimulus.
Here, the behavior becomes less self-contained and begins to spill into other areas. For example, relatives might start to notice alcohol breath smell on the individual, and they may start to show up to work hungover. They can still function somewhat normally as before, but tell-tale signs appear that their behavior is becoming problematic.
The individual in the third stage has not yet reached the level of addiction, but they are likely to think of their chosen substance more often and may have begun developing a mental reliance on it. The addict may also develop an element of cognitive dissonance where they know to some degree that their behavior is wrong and not what they want to do, but they feel the need to do it anyway.
4. Risky Usage
When people reach risky usage, the occasional adverse effects of stage 3, regular usage, become more frequent and severe. Whereas before, one might have had a periodic hangover at work or an event, this now happens on a frequent basis.
As the individual’s regular use has continued to grow, it frequently harms various areas of their life. Risky usage of drugs or alcohol refers to continual use despite negative health and social consequences.
One example of a negative social consequence concerns the cost of maintaining one’s addiction. As the addiction becomes increasingly more expensive, if a person doesn’t have the money to finance it, they may have to resort to borrowing or stealing money or other risky behaviors such as gambling. Such behavior makes the prospect of arrest more likely.
Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol is another risky behavior that can occur at this stage. The National Institute on Drug Abuse explains that drugs can slow reaction time, impair the judgment of time and distance, decrease coordination, cause one to be aggressive and reckless when driving, cause drowsiness and dizziness, and impair cognitive functioning.
As the user becomes more and more focused on their addiction, It can also have an adverse effect on one’s family, job, and friendships. Friends, acquaintances, and relatives might notice that they become less of the person they once were. Other observable effects are losing interest in old hobbies and changing friendship groups, shifting their friendships to be friends with others who exhibit addictive behavior. The user can neglect responsibilities at home and work as well as have less of an ability to fulfill them adequately.
The dependence stage is when drugs become necessary for abusers to simply feel “normal.” Individuals at this stage feel that drugs or alcohol are essential to their everyday functioning and cannot imagine their life without them. Because the drug’s effect has impacted the user’s life gradually and over time, it can be hard for them to see from an objective perspective how far they have deteriorated and how different they are from the person they used to be.
Physical or psychological withdrawal symptoms will occur if drug or alcohol use is discontinued, including trembling, sweating, insomnia, depression, and many others. The individual may have already attempted and been unsuccessful at quitting due to experiencing these negative side effects.
The addiction stage is when the usage of the substance is not only not a choice for the user, but they now use the substance so routinely that they are not even conscious of it. The behavioral changes that occurred at stage 4 now become even more extreme, with the user displaying more erratic behavior. They may also become highly agitated and aggressive when questioned or if they feel that their lifestyle is being threatened in any way. The National Insititute on Drug Abuse explains, “Brain imaging studies from drug-addicted individuals show physical changes in areas of the brain that are critical to judgment, decision making, learning, and memory and behavior control.” At this stage, it becomes apparent to the outsider, if it wasn’t before, that addiction is a brain disorder. Roxanne Greitz Miller  writes that addictive behavior at this stage “becomes compulsive and truly uncontrollable, much like other behavioral expressions of brain disease. For example, Parkinson’s patients cannot control their trembling, nor can schizophrenics control their hallucinations.”
The individual’s addiction has grown far out of their control and now presents a serious danger to their well–being. Stage 7 is the make-it-or-break-it point. When one does not seek treatment and outside help for their addiction, the data shows that, sadly, they could have a fatal end. At this point, the addict is at the highest risk of suffering a fatal overdose.

SEOUL, June 30 (UPI) — Kim Jong Un is taking symbolic steps to consolidate his power and confer more authority to non-military branches of government but he has yet to undertake major reforms.
The North Korean leader convened the fourth meeting of Pyongyang’s 13th Supreme People’s Assembly – less than two months after the gathering of its Seventh Party Congress on May 6.
The most significant development of the rubber-stamp assembly was the replacement of the North Korean National Defense Commission with a new State Affairs Commission, The Wall Street Journal reported.
The NDC was dominant under former leader Kim Jong Il and his “military-first” policy but his son has been emphasizing the dual importance of economic and nuclear weapons development.
But the name change and restructuring are minor developments, according to a Seoul unification ministry who spoke to local news service News 1.
Kim reshaped the Korean Workers’ Party at the party congress in May, and is doing the same for the other branches of government, the official said.
The name of the commission may have changed, but the central focus of power has not significantly shifted, the official added.
Some analysts in the South had suggested major changes would take place ahead of the parliamentary meeting, but generational changes were kept to a minimum, according to the unification ministry.
The Journal reported the majority of State Affairs Commission members are established political figures. North Korean Premier Pak Pong Ju, in charge of economic policy, was named one of three vice chairmen.
The unification ministry also said Thursday Pak’s appointment shows Pyongyang’s commitment to a five-year economic plan, but the meeting did not highlight any specific production goals.
The lack of detailed planning shows North Korea is struggling in the absence of major foreign investment and has yet to find a solution under heavy international sanctions, according to the ministry.

First of all I introduce you myself. My name is Zain ul abidin. I live in Haripur, KPK Pakistan. So I am the citizen of Pakistan. I love my country very much. This is natural thing for anyone to love his country. But there are many reasons for me to love my beautiful country Pakistan.
This is the land where I born, grew and will die. Everyone loves his place of birth very much, because birth place gives him identity. It gives the feeling of love just like mother. Here I smell the sweet fragrance of warmness, love, affection,kindness and sympathetic attitude from its land.
I love Pakistan because:
- It is a beautiful country and it is blessed with natural beauty. It has very beautiful valleys like Swat, Murree, Chitral, Kaghan, Naran, Gilgit, Skurdu, and Muzffarabad etc.
- I feel at home in my country, where I feel secure myself.
- It is the land of warm water, means its water flows and due to which water transport is more easily possible.
Why I should not love my country? It gave me an origin and it will give me a piece of land, when I will die. In Pakistan many tourists come to see its beauty. I pride of my country. Not only God has gifted natural beauty to it but its citizen also made it more beautiful. It’s cities like Karachi Lahore Peshawar and Islamabad etc are among beautiful cities of the world.
Many people have wrong opinion about Pakistan that it is the land of terrorists. No, it is the land innocent people, who are being killed on the behalf of conspiracy of its enemies. As it is matter of common sense, who is there that can be killed by his self. There are other people, the conspirators the enemies of our country who wants to make this land out of joint, harmful and want to show its picture gruesome to the world.
I may say that I love Pakistan because of its inhabitants, its cities, its ways of living, its customs, its language and its very air and water. The average Pakistani is extremely generous and inhospitable. Pakistan is one of the most important Muslim country of the world. Its people are full of talent. Its people welcome their guests with open hearts and entertain them with great love.
Pakistani people are very loving, caring, polite and kind. They love and give respect to each other. In any time of difficulty they support each other. I am the part of Pakistan, so I love it.
Many people think that there is terrorism, target killing, corruption, poverty and load shedding etc. What is there in it? Why don’t they think, that it is the land who has given them the shelter, feeling of warmness and feeling of security. If they go outside the country the will feel the difference of warmness and coldness, where no one will be to welcome, to hug them.
I love my country because it is the land of four seasons. In some countries there places remain covered for whole year and in some countries summer occupies there in, for a whole year. But in Pakistan all the four seasons come one by one. Pakistani people enjoy summer, autumn, winter and spring.

NoBrow Week: Robert Hunter, Jose Domingo
Robert Hunter's Map of Days is yet another exquisitely designed, vividly colored comic from NoBrow. The coloring process they use for the books gives every one a startlingly dense and rich palette, allowing cartoonists to use that color saturation as a narrative tool. NoBrow devoted an entire anthology to questions of cosmogony, and Hunter's book is very much about the ramifications of the origins of the world. In particular, what happens to old, heartbroken gods? Hunter's use of color is different than the way Luke Pearson or Jon McNaught (the two breakout stars from the NoBrow stable) tend to use it. It's softer, fuzzier and warmer, even on pages where there are bright yellows and oranges. It's more akin to a children's book, though the Chris Ware influence is still evident. The story itself is intricate and surprising, as the book turns from an initial account of the god-like creature at the center of the earth who falls in love with the sun to a teen staying with his grandfather by the sea during the summer. As the story progresses, what seems to be a quotidian series of anecdotes slowly converges with the first narrative, creating a jarring series of images that pop off the page. Hunter's dynamic use of color really pays off when the two narratives finally collide in an unexpected manner, but he then ups the stakes of the story to create an intense sense of drama by the story's end. The story is also remarkably touching, as it's ultimately about betrayals of trust on multiple and disastrous levels, and how one man tries to make up for his errors. The book is at once one of NoBrow's most stunning and most approachable releases.
Jose Domingo's Adventures of a Japanese Businessman is not unlike a Sergio Aragonnes cartoon on PCP. This entirely silent story begins with the titular businessman walking home after work, on an oversized page with a fairly regular 2x2 panel grid. By the third panel of the first page, Domingo has set this guy up to be at the inadvertent center of a great deal of trouble. In the first four pages alone, the businessman dodges a mobster gun battle, avoids a giant sushi roll sign from crushing him, accidentally inhales a chemical that turns him into a hulking monster and leaps away into a forest filled with magical creatures. That's enough action and mayhem for a single story, but Domingo has more than a hundred more pages of abuse to heap on this poor guy. He comes across a family of cannibals, gets seduced by a trucker who almost accidentally ran him over, gets turned into a leaf by a witch, gets revived by a guru, meets a family of benevolent yeti, dodges yeti hunters, and walks under the surface of the earth. There's an intensely rubbery quality to Domingo's line that actually reminds of another Mad artist--Don Martin. Those yeti have that same trembling, vibratory line that Martin uses. There's also a bit of a video game influence here, as the businessman's big square head and small body make him look like an 8-bit video game character. Just when you think the book can't get any crazier, Domingo leads the reader into my favorite bit, one that caused him to laugh pretty hard. The businessman happens upon a group of people entering what seemed to be a combination of demonic temple and workplace. They got dressed up in robes and their high priest went over a chart of some kind and then sacrificed an infant. Then they all went upstairs to their job: the Postal Service. It was an incredible punchline to a fantastic, unnerving set-up. The last third of the book somehow manages to become even crazier, with trips to hell and monster fights that looked like something out of a Fort Thunder comic dominating the action. The book ends appropriately, with a scatological joke that makes everything right again and an especially amusing double-take in the final panel. This is a work of relentlessly demented genius told with the tight, kinetic precision of a Carl Barks story and packed to the gills with eye pops and carefully-arranged gags. That four-panel grid and the seemingly never-ending journey of the businessman gives the book an almost spiraling feel that becomes vertiginous at times, held in place for the reader thanks to its tiny but indefatigable protagonist. Fans of visceral humor that backs up its gross-outs with gags that were clearly well thought-out for maximum impact must seek out this book.

In July 1994, Bill Clinton became the first American president to visit an independent Latvia. As he spoke near the Freedom Monument, thousands of Latvians thronged to hear his words. Many more listened on radio or watched on television. Among them was Kevin, then a young midwestern American who had come to Latvia to visit his penpal. Jeff Keenan tells the story of that first visit in his book, The Main.
The following month we traveled to Latvia for the first time. The trip was hectic, requiring visit after visit to new and old relatives, excursions around Rīga and throughout Latvia to places we had only read about, and occasional jaunts to various institutions for business and research purposes. In short, we were busy.
His first trip was made specifically to visit his penpal Māra and her family. The Main describes his two weeks with the family and his growing need to “find himself.”
Kevin comes across naive—and I’m trying to use that word objectively, without attaching to it the negativity that we often do. Here he is, a young man of 25 from northeast Iowa who is making his first voyage beyond the Midwest. Even before he’s out of the country, he is apprehensive and amazed by New York, where he has to change planes and airports.
I went to Latvia for the first time with baggage. Besides the overstuffed suitcase, there were three decades of accumulated history, family lore and black-and-white photographs etched in memory. I don’t think I went with a romanticized vision of what Latvia might be like, but I’m sure that what I saw was quite different from what Kevin did.
Kevin, without that baggage, also doesn’t find a romanticized—or even a romantic—Latvia. What he does find is simplicity, so much so that at times it begins to grate the reader: The home in Rīga where he stays is simple. The meals are simple. The people are simple.
But sprinkled through the book are hints that things are not so simple in Latvia:
Amazed by the simplicity he was experiencing, he questioned Mara about her everyday life.
“Everything seems very peaceful here in Latvia,” he said. “Is life always this simple?”
Māra explains about the lack of heat in her family’s apartment, about the loneliness and depression that some people experience. Still, Kevin continues to see Latvia as a peaceful and simple place. Perhaps it is, but The Main begs for Kevin to dig a bit deeper, to seek what the country and the people are really like. He has several opportunities to do so, but is reluctant to ask questions when they may reveal much to him.
At one point in this short book of 110 pages, Kevin puts aside a travel guide, realizing that it provided inadequate preparation for the Latvia he finds. It’s a telling moment, one that shows the effect of being placed in a different culture, even if for a while. Nothing you read is like the real thing.
Keenan’s book about a journey of self-discovery allows us to see Latvia through fresh eyes. I only wish he had looked a bit harder.

Metal surfaces can be made more interesting, aesthetically pleasing, and even functional by adding custom etching and engraving. Whether you are looking to add a personal touch or enhance the look of your products, engraving, and etching can be excellent ways to do so. Let’s explore some creative ways to use these techniques for finishing metal surfaces.
Engraving Techniques for Personalization
Engraving is the process of cutting into a surface with a tool such as a chisel. It is used to give metal surfaces a unique and personalized look. Engravings can range from simple text or monograms to intricate designs, logos, and images. Engraved items make great gifts, as they are one-of-a-kind pieces that cannot be replicated. Engraved items also have the added benefit of being more durable than printed images due to their superior resistance to fading over time.
Etching for Artistic Design
Etching is the process of using acid or corrosive material on metal surfaces in order to create patterns or designs. It is often used in conjunction with other engraving techniques in order to create intricate designs that are difficult to achieve with other methods. Etched metal surfaces can be used to create decorative items such as trinkets, jewelry, home décor pieces, and much more. Etching allows for a wide range of artistic possibilities due to its versatility; it can be used on many different types of metals, including brass, copper, steel, aluminum, and more.
Combining Both Techniques for Maximum Effect
The combination of both etching and engraving techniques enables you to create intricate designs that would otherwise be impossible with either technique alone. By combining these two methods, you will be able to create unique finishes that will stand out from traditional offerings in terms of both design quality and longevity over time. This combination makes it possible for metal surfaces not only to look stunning but also to last longer since the engravings will not fade easily like printed images usually do over time.
Custom etching and engraving techniques offer versatile options for enhancing metal surfaces far beyond what traditional finishing options offer. They enable us to add personal touches as well as intricate artistic designs onto our products which make them stand out from others while at the same time increasing their durability over time thanks to the superior resistance that these techniques provide against fading compared to printed images or standard finishes like paint or lacquer coats. With endless possibilities when it comes to creating unique pieces with custom etchings and engravings, anyone should definitely consider incorporating them into their projects!

Elves are described as radiant and beautiful, whereas dwarfs often act as earthen smiths. These beings may either aid, deter, or take their place among the gods. While their functions and roles may overlap and differ, all are collective female beings associated with fate.
Dollman The cosmology of the worlds which all beings inhabit—nine in total—centers on a cosmological tree, Yggdrasil.
The gods inhabit the heavenly realm of Asgard whereas humanity inhabits Midgarda region in the center of the cosmos. Travel between the worlds is frequently recounted in the myths, where the gods and other beings may interact directly with humanity.
The tree itself has three major roots, and at the base of one of these roots live a trio of Norns. From this two humankind are foretold to repopulate the new, green earth. The Prose Edda also describes the afterlife for humans, with honorable warriors feasting and battling endlessly in Valhalla, while those who died dishonorably or out of battle were sent to Niffelheim. Influence on the popular culture[ edit ] See also: Germanic mythology and Germanic neopaganism With the widespread publication of Norse myths and legends at this time, references to the Norse gods and heroes spread into European literary culture, especially in Scandinavia, Germany, and Britain.
Bard of the Aesir. Ullr - God of Glory, Hunting, and Skiing. Skadi - Goddess of bowhunting, skiing, winter, mountains and the wife of Njord. Nanna - Goddess of Joy and Peace. Frey, Magnus' father and the original owner of Jack. Husband of Skadi, father of Freyja and Freyr. Gullveig - The Thrice-Reborn.
Goddess of Alchemy and Witchcraft. Odur - God of summer sun. Ran - Goddess of Sea. Nott - Goddess of Night. Dagr - God of Day. Son of Nott and Delling.
Delling - God of Dawn. Sol - Goddess of Sun. Sister of Mani and daughter-in-law of Surt. Mani - God of Moon.
Kvasir - God of Wisdom deceased Abilities, limitations, and weaknesses The Norse gods have eternal youth granted by regular consumption of the Golden Apples of Idunn, with superhuman physical abilities and a variety of magical powers. Because the Norse gods are physical beings like the Greco-Roman gods and unlike the Egyptian godsthey are able to sire demigod children with mortals and walk the earth without a host. The Norse gods unlike the Greek Gods or Egyptian Gods will rapidly grow old and weaken when they're unable to eat Idunn 's apples of eternal youth on a regular basis.
This is shown when she was kidnapped by Utgard-Loki on one occasion. The Norse gods are extremely difficult to kill Mimir survived being decapitated, for instance but they, unlike the Greco-Roman gods, are not completely immortal, as most of them are destined to die during Ragnarok, the Twilight of the Norse gods.
Beings or weapons with the power to kill Norse gods include the following:

“Aaron, when you’re done in there can you bring out my hand bag? I’m sure I left it in there.” Moments after Emilie’s request, Aaron appeared from the bathroom, black clutch in hand.
She smiled and thanked him as she took it.
Aaron smiled and kissed her cheek as he slipped his shoes on, and only then did she notice he was wearing a white tee shirt and faded cut off jeans. She stopped putting her earrings in, and placed them down on the vanity in front of her.
She figured Aaron felt her hard stare on his back, because he sighed and stood up straight, facing her, “Don’t be mad, babe but-”
“You’re going to that party.” She accused. He sighed again and ran his hand through his tussled brown hair, and nodded slightly.
“Aaron, this is our boss’ retirement party, you’re really going to miss this one time opportunity for some stupid party your buddy is throwing?” She scoffed, reaching up to put her earring in.
“Em, this is a once in a lifetime thing. It’s on a boat!” Emilie stood up and grabbed her clutch, “I can’t believe you. They throw a party every weekend, which you’re at, every single weekend. How hard is it for you for miss one?”
“You wouldn’t understand.” He concluded, walking out of their bedroom and into the living room, where he donned his jacket and picked up his scarf.
“You’re unbelievable, you know that? I cancelled plans to be with my mother, after not seeing her since her birthday in August, here it is January, and you’re going to a party, on a boat!” She shrieked.
“Please can we not talk about this right now?” Aaron rolled his eyes as he finished buttoning his jacket and wrapped his red scarf around his neck, it hung loosely against his body.
She didn’t say another word, just turned her head to the floor and waited for him to leave, and when she looked up again, she was watching his back as he walked out of the door.
Three hours later, Emilie was three cocktails, and two shots later, and wanting nothing more than to be home with a pint of ice cream and a binge watch of Gilmore Girls.
“Why are you sulking over here by yourself, darling?” She heard the familiar British accent before she saw him, and she looked up and immediately wanted another shot.
He looked absolutely dashing in his tux and tie, the black looking amazing against his russet skin tone and perfect white teeth, shining out even more with the dark colours.
She smiled slightly, “I had a fight with my boyfriend.” She admitted. She didn’t know if it was the alcohol or the heartbreak, all she knew is that she needed a shoulder to cry on.
Axel sighed and raised his hand to the bartender, who nodded and walked away to make him a drink, “Sorry to hear that, darling. What happened?”
“He’s a dick, that’s what happened. I needed him here with me, but he wanted to go party with his buddies.”
This is why she didn’t drink much.
She sighed and put her head in her hands, “I’m sorry, Axel. This is your party, I shouldn’t be dampening your mood, you’re happy tonight. I should be, too.”
Axel smiled down at her, instead of smirking for once, “Believe it or not, Emilie, my only happiness tonight is having my father off my damn back.”
Emilie gasped, but it was low enough that Axel didn’t hear it. Was she gasping over the fact that he was confiding in her, or was it the fact that he called her Emilie, and not darling?
She turned slightly and saw his father, a greying man of 76, chatting merrily with Stephen and Ian. She turned back to Axel to see him watching her as he sipped the bourbon she hadn’t seen been brought to him.
“Does he expect too much of you?” She asked in a low voice. Axel shrugged, “Not really. More like he expects too little of me.”
Emilie was confused, and clearly it showed on her face, because the heartwarming smile and chuckle he delivered was enough to make the breath escape her chest in a whoosh.
“He wants me to take over his shoes and be this big time CEO, and I have no problem with that, but he also wants me to settle down with a wife and two children and white picket fence, and I don’t see myself like that.
“He doesn’t want the CEO life for me, like he had. All business and no play. He had one kid and four wives, my mother was his first wife, he still smiles when he speaks about her.”
Emilie didn’t know where all of this was coming from, but she wasn’t complaining, she liked this soft side of Axel. The rough exterior he put on wasn’t really who he was.
“I like what I do now. I want to take over and have this business, but with him constantly telling me it’s a horrible idea, and that I’m going to have many wives and gold diggers crawling at my back... Well it only makes me question marriage and woman, not the job.”
He finished speaking and downed the rest of his drink, the ice dropping back into the glass with a clank.
“Axel, I don’t know much about business, or your father, but I know he means best for you. And maybe he is taking his own experiences into accord and the wrong way. But I say this, do what you want to do, and prove him wrong. Prove you can do both, white picket fence and two kids, and run a powerful enterprise.” Emilie smiled, and looked down at her empty glass and ordered another.
When she looked up, Axel was still watching her, “You’re an interesting woman, Emilie.”
She chuckled, “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
Without another word, Axel turned and walked away from the bar, but paused before he could get too far and looked over his shoulder at her, “Thanks.”
She was so shell shocked at the soft and hidden side to Axel that she couldn’t respond, and then he was gone. Back into the crowd of people.
With a sigh, Emilie hopped off the bar stool, downed her last drink, and padded across the office in her bare feet, her black six inches in her hand.
She felt the eyes watching her, but she didn’t care. She was through with the party, and it was time to go home.
Before she could push through the glass doors, she heard a throat loudly clearing, and she turned to see Chase Blake trying to gather attention.
“I’d like to thank everyone for coming out tonight, this party is exactly what I needed to end a wonderful lifetime of Riley & Co. I’d like to thank my son, for absolutely showing me that family can change your life.” Everyone clinked glasses together and gave a small applause for Axel.
She couldn’t see him, and wondered where he was, she took a step forward into the crowd and finally his tall figure poked out from behind his father, and he placed a hand on his back, “Turning this business over to him has been the easiest decision I’ve ever had to make in this company,” There were a few chuckles, “I can’t wait for the many years to come, and see him transform this business the way I couldn’t.”
With more cheering and clapping, Chase Blake raised his glass and Emilie could faintly hear him call out, “To Axel!” And the cheers got louder, she smiled and took this moment to escape out of the doors.
Swinging her shoes in her arm, she realized she might be too intoxicated to drive, and decided to call a cab instead. Taking her phone from her clutch, she dialled the number for the taxi company, and was just about to hit call when a large hand grabbed the phone from her hand and ended the call.
“What the..” She looked up and saw a smirking Axel. The smirk was back, it seemed.
“Why did you do that? I’m trying to call someone.” She said, putting her hand on her hip, his smirk grew, “You’re not taking a taxi home, Emilie. I’ll drive you.”
“Why can’t I take a taxi home?” She defended. He just chuckled, “Because they’re overpriced, and they rip pretty drunk girls off.”
She huffed, “Good thing that’s not me.” He just rolled his eyes as the elevator finally dinged open, “You know, when a man calls you pretty, the good thing would be to say thank you.” His hot breath was at her ear, her hair being pushed back off her shoulder.
She looked at her shoeless feet, “Thank you.”
She could almost see his smirk widening, and when she looked up, her guess had been right, “I am not drunk.”
“Really? You’re walking around in your bare feet, and you spilled your entire troubles to me just moments ago.” He said, staring straight again.
“So then are you drunk?” His eyes finally came down to meet hers, and he reached over very quickly to push the stop button on the elevator, it shook and rattled as it came to a sudden halt.
She gasped and held onto the banister - her biggest fear was being caught in an elevator. She could feel the anxiety now, her breath quickened and her eyes widened, but it was soon forgotten when Axel’s lips were mere inches from her own.
“Maybe I am..” He whispered, his hand reaching up to entangle in her hair, the other grabbing her waist and pulling her against his body. She knew this was wrong, she knew she couldn’t do this. But she couldn’t stop.
“Axel, what are you..?” But before she could finish, his bottom lip gently caressed her jaw, and then her neck, her breath was caught in her throat.
As soon as he had grabbed her, he had let her go, and the elevator was moving again. She let out a large breath of air, and shortly after, the doors dinged open and he was pulling her out into the open front foyer.
“Come now, darling. Let’s get you home..”


Bubba Jenkins, an American mixed martial artist and former collegiate wrestler who is currently the MMA world champion, is in Ghana.
He arrived in Ghana on Tuesday, November 26 at about 4:00 pm.
Bubba, who traced his roots back to Ghana, is back home as part of the ‘2019 Year Return’ programme by the government.
Ahead of his trip to Ghana, he had said in a video which was circulated on social media that he was super excited to come to Ghana.
He also revealed that his dad died in Ghana.
“My father died in Ghana so I am coming to see some of the things that he did, some of the places he was at. I am also coming to get some of the famous Ghana Jollof and hangout with my boy Shatta Wale. It is going to be an exciting homecoming,” he indicated.
According to him, he became a Shatta Wale fan after his collaboration with Beyoncé on ‘The Lion King’ album. He also showered praises on Ghana music in general and how is it making waves in America.
READ ALSO: Sarkodie named Ambassador for Year of Return
Bubba Jenkins is expected to be hosting a charity event in town.
He would also interact and inspire the youth of Ghana on any platform he is put on.
The ‘Year of Return Ghana 2019’ initiative by the government is to mark 400 years since the slave trade started.
President Nana Akufo-Addo launched the programme in September 2018 in Washington, D.C. for Africans in the diaspora, giving fresh impetus to the quest to unite Africans on the continent with their brothers and sisters in the diaspora.
A number of African-Americans have already visited Ghana as part of the programme. Among them were Boris Kodjoe, Michael Jai White, Anthony Anderson, Idris Elba, Jidena, Samuel L Jackson and Deborah Cox.
This December, thousands more are visiting Ghana as part of the programme, and Bubba is one of them.

“You can’t win anything with kids”, Alan Hansen, BBC football pundit, famously announced before Manchester United’s “kids” went on to win the Premier League and FA Cup double. Thirteen years on, an employment tribunal in Newcastle-upon-Tyne has shown that it, too, believes Hansen to be wrong.
Last month it ruled in favour of Leanne Wilkinson, an 18-year-old who was dismissed from her job as an administrative assistant because she was too young and inexperienced. She complained that she had been discriminated on grounds of her age under the Employment Equality (Age) Regulations 2006.
What does the case tell us? It reminds us that the age regulations are not just there to protect older people – they make it unlawful to discriminate against anyone, young or old, on grounds of age.
But the real interest lies in the implications for employers in assessing the aptitude of employees (or candidates) for a job. At the heart of the tribunal’s decision was its finding that the company had based its decision on a “stereotypical assumption that capability equals experience and experience equals older age”.
Two different, but interrelated, forms of discrimination were in play here. To dismiss Wilkinson because she is too young is direct discrimination. To dismiss her because she lacks experience is potentially indirect discrimination: the requirement that she has a certain level of experience is harder for her to fulfil than an older person. Either form of discrimination can be justified, on the grounds that the discriminatory treatment is a proportionate means of achieving a legitimate aim.
It is a fair point, in principle, that we should not treat people less favourably than others because of stereotypical assumptions about them. However, there is a danger that, to avoid claims, an unrealistic burden will be placed on employers to collect and evaluate objective evidence before making any decision.
Is the correlation between experience and capability really an unjustified stereotype? In many cases experience does count for a lot. We all learn as we go along: from our successes and our failures. In my job experience has always been regarded as a key indicator of a certain level of expertise: the legal profession has always attached weight to post-qualification experience. In asking for a barrister of, say, 1992 qualification, the client is unlikely to be doing so because that was a good year, or because he has a penchant for 40-somethings. He uses post-qualification experience as shorthand for capability.
Of course, there may be people who do a job for years, and never get the hang of it. There may be jobs (and administrative assistant may be one) where little experience is needed to learn the ropes. Often, however, experience is a reliable shorthand for a certain level of capability. Why shouldn’t an advertisement require a certain number of years’ experience, if it is a safe bet that without those years experience, a candidate would be unlikely to be able to do the job?
If the use of “shorthand” such as an experience requirement is not permissible, employers may have to carry out a laborious process of individual assessment of every single candidate’s aptitude for the job to avoid the risk of a claim. That process will be not only expensive, but also time-consuming. They may come to exactly the same decision as if they had applied an experience “threshold”.
Fine in an ideal world – in the real world we may all grow old while we are waiting.
- Age discrimination laws protect both the young and old from discrimination
- Discrimination can be justified if it is a proportionate means of achieving a legitimate aim
- The test of justification is vague, and difficult to predict
- Employers should avoid stereotypical assumptions as to the impact of age and experience on ability
- Employers may be driven to laborious assessment processes to avoid the risk of being found to have acted on unjustified assumptions

I'm a big fan of the comic strip "Pearls Before Swine." The strips are sometimes edgy, often relevant, and funny. PEARLS FALLS FAST is a treasury of "Pearls Before Swine" comic strips. The strips in this treasury first appeared in the book collections UNSPORTSMANLIKE CONDUCT and RAT’S WARS. These strips first ran in newspapers from February 28, 2011 to September 3, 2012.
Unlike some other comic strip treasuries, a "Pearls Before Swine" treasury includes notes from Pastis on many of the comics in the book. Even if you own all UNSPORTSMANLIKE CONDUCT and RAT'S WARS, PEARLS FALLS FAST is a book worth owning just for the notes by Pastis. Some provide some insight to the life of a cartoonist while others are just plain funny. This treasury has some great storylines. Some of these found in the book include: where Larry the Croc becomes the Vice President of a neighborhood Kids Club treehouse, Rat returning to work at Joe's Roastery, a story where aliens who are just anthromorphic beer cans visit the neighborhood, the imprisonment of Stephan Pastis for Rat's anti-government tirades, and Zebra's decision to build a huge wall to protect him from the Crocs; the Crocs continued attempt at getting over Zebra’s wall; Rat joining the Occupy Movement by Occupying Sesame Street; Rat getting sent to Siberia with the rest of Stephan’s missing luggage and Rat’s revenge afterwards; Larry the Croc getting caught in a compromising photo with his Zebra neighbor; Rat being hired to revise Mr. Roger’s Neighborhood; the break-out of the East Coast-West Coast Cartoonist War; Larry’s son becomes friends with Freddy the Frog; and Guard Duck’s “adoption” of Dinky Duckling. Characters from the comics "Dennis the Menace", "Pluggers", "Peanuts", "Blondie", "Mutts", "Beatle Bailey", "Cathy", and "Family Circus" all make appearances. Pastis' pleasure in using Sunday strips for elaborate puns continues in many strips, particularly the Sunday strips. There's also a great regular weekday strip where Pig gets a little bit of "revenge" on Rat on Opposite Day. I also like the Sunday Thanksgiving strip in this collection which features a tribute Charlie Brown and Charles Schultz. The last section is a section entitled "Wading into the Kiddie Pool" and features a selection of drawings (with commentary) by Pastis from his childhood. I always enjoy these treasuries because they feature neat little extras like "Wading into the Kiddie Pool." Overall, PEARLS FALLS FAST is a great treasury of " Pearls Before Swine” strips and an item that any fan of the strip is sure to enjoy.

The video, which was posted online on Thursday by Mekameleen, an opposition TV channel based in Turkey, appears to show two blindfolded men being shot in the head by uniformed soldiers.
In the video, one young blindfolded man is aggressively questioned by the officers who ask him if he is a member of the Abu Sanana family.
When he responds "No" and says he is from al-Awabadah, they ask him where his grandfather lives before forcing him to the ground and removing his blindfold.
One of the soldiers then shoots him in the head.
A person off-screen can be heard repeatedly shouting "Not just the head" as a second soldier then fires at the body on the ground.
Al Jazeera could not independently verify the video's authenticity. The Egyptian government has barred journalists from reporting on events in the Sinai Peninsula, where the army is battling a local affiliate of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant ( ISIL) group
Possible war crimesThe leaked video appears to depict part of a raid that the Egyptian army posted on social media on December 6.
That post included photos of three men in a field with guns next to them, who had been "killed in a raid" on an explosives storehouse.
Ahmed Mefreh, a lawyer and human-rights researcher, told Al Jazeera the killings amounted to war crimes.
"In the video, we see executions of unarmed people by forces wearing military uniform," he said.
"They are being shot in a direct way. International law considers this a war crime that clearly has to be investigated."

One Direction: We challenged Cowell
One Direction have revealed they took on Simon Cowell over song choices - and won.
The X Factor stars were less than keen about some of the tracks chosen for them to record - and weren't afraid to tell the music mogul what they thought.
"Some of the lyrics were about 40-year-old men pouring their hearts out," Harry Styles told the Daily Mirror.
His bandmate Louis Tomlinson added: "We said 'no' to Simon over at least one song. But he'd much prefer us to be honest.
"Despite what people think, he doesn't want to be surrounded by lots of 'yes' men."
The boyband are releasing their debut single, What Makes You Beautiful, and insisted Simon was "just one of the lads".
Zayn Malik revealed: "Simon is hilarious. At X Factor, behind the curtains just before we came on, he'd talk non-stop about football and girls."

Zenco the Magnificent is a card game champion, and master of Dueling Decks. He's more than happy to take on new challengers to his title, but few beat him.
Hmm... which card would beat that one... oh, right! I'm supposed to match each card. Pff! That's so much easier. I don't know why anyone finds this game difficult; it's much simpler than my game.
Card flipping is my speciality, and so when a few of my opponents challenged me to take the record in this little matching game, how could I refuse? Poor fellows, they actually bet against me.
Care to play? I promise not to cheat. Eh. Then again, I don't need to cheat.
Care to play a game of cards? It's quite simple, and the rules are easy to grasp. I'm sure you'll do very well. For a while, anyway... I am the master at this game, after all.
re you really foolish enough to challenge Zenco the Magnificent? Clearly no one has told you that I am a master of Dueling Decks!

Michelle Keegan must be very organised, it's not even December yet and the soap star has made a start to her Christmas shopping.

The 2020/21 campaign continues to go from strength to strength for West Ham United midfielder Tomas Soucek.
Last night he scored his first international hat-trick for the Czech Republic during their game against Estonia.
Soucek’s goals came during a blistering 15-minute spell and left supporters amazed on Twitter.
The 26-year-old has been a revelation for the Hammers since signing from Slavia Prague.
During the current season, he has found the net nine teams, with West Ham sat fifth in the Premier League table.
Soucek cost the club just £15 million and that, in today’s market, looks like an absolute steal.
The £67,000-a-week star is now getting in on the scoring act on the international stage and his stock continues to rise.
Following his perfect hat-trick, West Ham fans took to Twitter to rave about their midfield general and congratulate him.
Here is what the Hammers faithful had to say about Soucek’s showing.
This man is so massive https://t.co/b23gM4mWXU

We all go through times where we feel more depressed. The good news is that happiness is at our fingertips. It is quite possible to raise your mood with a food fair; you just have to know what to put in your shopping cart.
We all heard the call, “eat your vegetables”!. Well, when it comes to mood, there’s nothing better. Green leafy vegetables, such as cabbage and spinach, are rich in vitamin C and magnesium.
Both are important for the conversion of the amino acids tyrosine and tryptophan into serotonin and dopamine, neurotransmitters responsible for our mood and well being. A daily serving of vegetables should be so ubiquitous!
Nuts and Seeds
The power of nuts and seeds is invaluable. Flax seeds/chia/hemp/pumpkin and walnuts are essential sources of omega-3, and cashew nuts have proven effective in maintaining a good mood, equivalent to the therapeutic effect of a dose of Prozac.
One of the richest natural sources of tryptophan, a few servings of cashews a day can move away from depression. And let’s not forget the queen of nuts-almonds, containing zinc (an essential nutrient for maintaining balanced provisions), iron (which ward off brain fatigue), and healthy fats (which reduce anxiety).
Considered superfoods, blueberries, these small and sweet delights are perfect for repelling stress. Rich in vitamins, phytonutrients (plant nutrients), and a variety of antioxidants lower stress. Blueberries are the ideal snack to turn happy signals into the brain.
It is not any secret that dark chocolate makes us feel good.
This is due to the benefits of cocoa-raw ingredient that gives a good chocolate taste and color. Cocoa contains Phenethylamine (the same chemical released by the brain when we fall in love), leading to the release of endorphins. A perfect excuse for a great treat!
Foods Rich in Vitamin B
A low level of the vitamin B complex (B1, B3, B6, B9, B12) may influence your mood. A constant source of vitamin B is, therefore, essential for maintaining happiness.
Such vitamin B rich foods include legumes, nuts, seeds, brown rice, oats, green vegetables (such as spinach and broccoli), and inactive yeast.
The intestines are among the 1st indicators of our health. The gut, not the brain, produces most serotonin in the body (responsible for our state of happiness). Therefore, the intestines and the brain (and the way we feel) are inextricably linked to each other.
That’s why it’s essential to feed the intestines, giving them a variety of ‘ good ‘ bacteria, which help them to function at maximum capacity. Fermented foods like sauerkraut, kimchi, cruel tempeh, miso, and kefir, kephir drinks such as milk and kombucha, are excellent sources of such bacteria, they provide the best food for bacteria in the digestive system.
A concentrated source of essential fatty acids omega-3 (maintaining a healthy brain for Favorites) is a prerequisite for a good mood. Rich in Omega 3 and facilitating fluidity for the membrane in the brain for optimal operation of the neurotransmitters, flax seeds have an essential contribution to the state of happiness and pleasure.
Thanks to the omega-3 fatty acids that reduce inflammation in the body (one of the major causes of diseases, mood), essential fatty acids from flax seeds are such to improve mood and cognitive function. Ideally, two tablespoons of flax seeds should be consumed every day to take advantage of all its benefits. There are also alternative supplements, such as krill oil. Other vegetable sources of healthy fats include coconut oil and seeds cold-pressed, unrefined.
The perfect snack, bananas give you precisely what you need. Full of energy, vitamin B6, iron, magnesium, tryptophan, and potassium, plus a natural probiotic fiber-rich, regulates blood sugar, are right bombs! A banana eat between breakfast and lunch provides enough magnesium for the body (which reduces stress) for the whole day!
Vitamin D Rich Foods
A higher amount of vitamin D can improve the mood by increasing the production of serotonin. Synthesized by the body in the presence of sunlight, vitamin D is present in foods such as coconut milk, almond milk, and mushrooms. You can get quality supplements with vitamin D3 in the winter.
Complex carbohydrates such as chickpeas, lentils, nuts, oats, brown rice, potatoes, corn, grains, starchy vegetables, and bananas proved to intensify the production of serotonin and promote a good mood.
Maca root purchased in the form of powder has been used since ancient times as a remedy for stress relief by the noble classes of Peruvian Incas. Rich in calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, sodium, and potassium is also a good source of trace minerals such as magnesium and iron (two essential nutrients that control anxiety), zinc, iodine, and vitamins B1, B2, C, and E.
Spirulina is one of the most nutritionally dense food on the planet! The equivalent of a super green multivitamin complex, spirulina is 60-70% and is rich in iron, B vitamins (B12, which is very rare in vegetable sources), tryptophan and omega-3 fatty acids and omega-6. And as if there would have been enough, spirulina also contains calcium, magnesium, folic acid, vitamins A, B, C, D, E, K, and antioxidants. At the biochemical level, spirulina is a hothouse of happiness!

Peggy Solomon (Mrs. Charles J.) (1909-1995) daughter of movie magnate Jules E. Mastbaum, a Philadelphia philanthropist who donated the Rodin Museum, which opened in 1927, and holds his Rodin collection, grew up in a bridge environment – both her parents played. Peggy wanted to join the women’s bridge team at her country club shortly before World War II, but was disappointed that she could only make the third flight. She decided to take lessons. Her first teacher was a Mrs. Evans, who was also teaching Nelson Eddy( http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0248904/bio ). Her next teacher was a rising young star named Charles Goren – at the time he only charged $5 a lesson.
She married her first husband, Philadelphia Congressman and 1946 ACBL President Benjamin M. Golder, in 1930. Golder died on his last day as ACBL President.
One day as Peggy was walking by the Cavendish Club, she met Charles Solomon, who stopped and introduced himself. After a few minutes of casual conversation, he asked her to play sometime. She was thrilled – after all, she was a novice and he was an established star. The first time they played together they placed 36th out of 36 pairs. Charles Solomon then became her mentor in bridge and married her in 1948. After a few years of practice and tutoring, she was one of the nation’s top-ranked female bridge players. She was the third female to earn the rank of Life Master (after Helen Sobel and Sally Young). She won nine and placed second in 11 North American Championships. In 1960, the Solomons were featured in a newspaper article headlined “The Solomons: Top Married Bridge Team.”

By: Reuben Egbah,
A member of the Plateau State House of Assembly representing Qua’anpan South Constituency, Honorable Abubakar Nababa Mohammed AKA “Balo” on Friday, 26th of March, 2021 empowered members of his Constituency.
The event, which was part of his Constituency project, took place at Government Secondary School Kurgwi, with a large number of people from the constituency in attendance.
Addressing beneficiaries at the event, Hon. Abubakar, advised them not to sell off the items they have received as they are to serve as a constant source of income to them.
He reiterated his effort to meet up with his campaign promises, stressing that the people’s mandate gave him the seat and in return, he came down for this phase of the empowerment program as a promise kept.
“Don’t sell these items, those with sewing machine, learn how to sew clothes, tailors are now making big money today, they are not just tailors but fashion designers, they sew for us at very expensive rates in the urban areas.
“To the beneficiaries, we want to thank God the Almighty for giving us this privilege to fulfill our campaign promises. We had promised that, if elected we shall concentrate on social development intervention programs that will touch the lives of the common man in the constituency.
“It is our believe that, government cannot do everything or provide jobs for everyone, but certainly we are to show the way as the saying goes, don’t give me fish but teach me how to fish.
“That is why this empowerment program is in partnership with a Special Intervention Program of the Plateau State Microfinance Development (PLASMIDA), they are experts and will train the beneficiaries on how to use the rare opportunity”, Hon, Abubakar stated.
Hon. Balo expressed appreciation to the Executive Governor of Plateau State, Barr. Simon Bako Lalong and his colleagues, members of the Plateau State House Assembly for the effort put together towards the approval of his constituency project.
He thanked members of his constituency for the trust given him and that his political ambitions and aspirations are tied to his people.
“This is my third time in the House I am not better than others but my people felt it right that I represent them, so, for any future representation or position it will still be determined by my people.
“My political ambitious is to ensure that my people benefit from the system, meaning that I don’t make decisions for myself.” He stated.
He enumerated projects completed and ongoing, like the E library, hall, generating plant, in Government Secondary School Kurgwi, also youth council hall, primary health care, blocks of class rooms, and many other projects in Kurgwi town.
One of the beneficiaries, Mr Yunusa Abdulmalik Abubakar a farmer, expressed gratitude to the Honorable saying, “I don’t have much to say about what Hon. Balo has done, I am not surprised because he is a principled man with integrity, this is just the beginning and it will not be the last, he has good intentions to assist his people as he has always done, he loves his people, so, we thank him and pray that God will guide and protect him to do more”.


I was just wondering why this spring is a rear only? It seems like it would be nice to be able to use it in the front also with a new shock rather than new coilovers which are much more expensive.
Also, stock shocks compression and rebound is set to use with stock spring rate. Most of the time when going with longer spring, most manufactures increases the spring rate. Even if you were able to fit the spring on a stock shock, the spring rate would over power the stock shock and deteriorate the shock very quickly.You run into problems with the amount of travel on the struts/shocks. Taller/heavier springs change the range that they work within. You run in to problems with topping out the struts and blowing them out. You get a better end product when you change the struts/shocks with the springs.


Model for new Ford Kuga Vignale revealed
The production-ready Ford Kuga Vignale has been revealed and this news will see the Vignale model expand into the SUV sector.
The new upscale SUV will be available to buy in Ford van and SUV dealers in Andover and across the rest of Britain and Europe later this year.
This latest news means that in total there will be three new Ford Vignale models released this year with the Ford S-MAX Vignale and the Ford Edge Vignale SUV also set to be hitting Europe’s roads this year.
The Ford S-MAX Vignale is already available to order and follows in the footsteps of the Ford Mondeo Vignale, which was released in 2015.
Ford Kuga Vignale to offer pure luxury
The Ford Kuga Vignale is set to offer drivers across Europe pure luxury, with Cashmere-coloured leather being used for the interior trim of the car, Ford EcoBoost petrol and TDCi diesel engines available in the model and the stunning pearlescent-metallic Vignale Milano Grigio exterior colour also available for the new SUV.
Speaking to the Ford Motor Company Media Center, Jim Farley, Chairman and CEO of Ford of Europe, said, “Our customers have high aspirations, and they want more from Ford. On some vehicles, our top-of-the-line Titanium specifications make up 70 per cent of all sales.
“With Ford Vignale, we can offer them the absolute best of Ford in terms of luxury and personal service. That’s why we are expanding from Ford Mondeo Vignale to our flagship products Edge and S-MAX, with Kuga to come soon after.”
The new Ford Kuga Vignale model is based on the Kuga mid-size SUV, but will be hand-finished by master craftspeople at the Vignale Centre in Valencia.
This type of luxury has been in high demand, with over 80 per cent of the 33,000 Kugas sold in 2015 in the UK being high-specification Titanium models.
