>>Local creamery creating ice cream with an old-fashioned twist
COVINGTON, GA – (August 1, 2019) – Rock House Creamery, a family farm, owned and operated by the Kelly family, has put the “cream” back in the word “ice cream” with their old-fashioned spin on a timeless treat. With an array of artisan dairy products including creamline whole milk, chocolate milk, buttermilk, and aged cheeses, ice cream is the newest addition to Rock House Creamery products and its release has not disappointed.
“Ice cream is only as good as the ingredients you use and the most important ingredient is the milk—in our case, Rock House Creamery creamline whole milk. It’s the key to making a great tasting, high quality ice cream,” says Hillary Aaron, executive chef, Farmview Market.
“Creamline milk is one of the most natural forms of milk. It is pasteurized, but not homogenized which means the cream rises to the top, giving our ice cream an old-fashioned, rich flavor,” says Aaron.
After months of exploration and development, the Rock House Creamery team found just the right metrics to breathe new life into homemade ice cream. They’ve created a combination of classic flavors, seasonal flavors, and several unique flavors that showcase the brand’s story.
“We love having our hands on each step of the process from raising our animals to creating unique, fresh dairy products. We have a small but dedicated team in place and are steadily increasing our supply capabilities and expanding our product line. ,” says Keith Kelly, CEO, Kelly Products.
The first flight of flavors includes Vanilla, Chocolate, Coffee, Strawberry, Butter Walnut, Cinnamon Roll and Bird Dog Becky.
Ice cream lovers can look forward to new, seasonal flavors to roll out this fall. Rock House Creamery ice cream can be found at local retailers around the state.

The Eastern State Blues have shifted their focus to game two of the Fiji National Rugby League Vanua State of Origin tomorrow.
The Western State Maroons won game one 10-8 at the ANZ Stadium in Suva.
Blues Head Coach Vulaono Dakuitoga says getting the attack and defense combination right can win them the series.
“We found some of the weaknesses and some of the strengths. And that is what we are working on at the moment. What we have seen is that if we can attack properly and defend properly, winning losing will just take care of itself.”
The match will kick-off tomorrow at 2.30pm at Prince Charles Park in Nadi while the women’s clash starts at 12.10pm.

A Minotaur 1 rocket powered by a surplus Cold War-era missile stage more than 54 years old is poised to blast off from the Eastern Shore of Virginia Tuesday morning, heading to orbit with three top secret spacecraft for the U.S. government’s spy satellite agency.
The solid-fueled launcher, sized to haul small satellites into orbit, is awaiting liftoff from pad 0B at the Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport located at NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia. Liftoff is scheduled for 7 a.m. EDT (1100 GMT).
There is a 60% chance of favorable weather for launch Tuesday morning, according to the official launch forecast. The primary weather concerns are low cloud ceilings and cumulus clouds associated with a cold front moving through the area early Tuesday.
The Minotaur 1, assembled and operated by Northrop Grumman, is set to fly its first mission since 2013. The Minotaur rocket family is primarily geared to launch satellites for the military.
The 69-foot-tall (21-meter) rocket is based on leftover solid-fueled motors from the U.S. Air Force’s Minuteman missile program. Designers added two Orion solid rocket motors on top of the lower two stages of a Minuteman missile to turn the bomb carriers into satellite launchers.
The Minotaur 1 rocket’s M55A1 first stage motor was cast with solid propellant in 1966 by Thiokol, now part of Northrop Grumman. The SR19 second stage motor, produced by Aerojet, was filled with its solid propellant in 1983, according to a Northrop Grumman spokesperson.
The age of the first stage means it is likely the oldest rocket motor ever used on a space launch.
After going on alert with nuclear warheads in silos during the Cold War, the Minuteman missile motors were stored at Hill Air Force Base, Utah, and refurbished there before shipping out for launch preparations.
Military teams test-fired Minuteman motors with similar ages in 2019 and 2020, and engineers verified good performance in both stages.
“We are using these decommissioned assets, taxpayer-funded assets, and we’re taking them and we’re able to launch government-sponsored payloads, which to me is actually one of the coolest things about our Minotaur 1 rocket,” said Kelly Fitzpatrick, a Northrop Grumman senior guidance, navigation and control engineer.
The mission set for launch Tuesday is designated NROL-111. While the satellites on-board the Minotaur 1 rocket are classified, NRO officials held a pre-launch press conference last week to preview the mission.
“We certainly cannot get into any specifics for national security reasons, but I can tell you that there are three spacecraft that will be launched on this mission,” said Col. Chad Davis, director of the NRO’s office of space launch. “NRO payloads and capabilities, in general, are the nation’s eyes and ears in space, being able to deliver that exquisite intelligence information from space that our warfighters and national decision-makers need.”
NRO satellites collect high-resolution optical and radar imagery of sites around the world, eavesdrop on communications from U.S. adversaries, and help track worldwide military activity.
In 2016, the Space Force’s Space and Missile Systems Center, then part of the Air Force, selected a Minotaur 1 rocket for the NROL-111 mission. The launch contract awarded to Orbital ATK, since acquired by Northrop Grumman, was valued at $29.2 million.
Airspace warning notices indicate the Minotaur 1 rocket will head southeast from Wallops Flight Facility, likely targeting an orbit a few hundred miles in altitude at an inclination of around 50 degrees to the equator, according to Marco Langbroek, a Dutch archaeologist and expert tracker of military satellites.
The Minotaur 1’s first stage will ignite as the five-hour countdown strikes zero at Wallops. A thrust vector system will steer the rocket on a trajectory over the Atlantic Ocean as the first stage burns through its pre-packed propellant to generate more than 200,000 pounds of thrust.
After exceeding the speed of sound in less than 30 seconds, the Minotaur will shed its spent first stage motor casing about a minute into the mission. The Minuteman second stage will ignite at the same time and burn for 72 seconds, accelerating the rocket to more than 6,000 mph (nearly 10,000 kilometers per hour).
Two commercially-produced solid rocket motors will finish the job of placing the three NRO payloads into orbit.
An Orion 50XL third stage will ignite nearly two-and-a-half minutes after liftoff. The rocket’s 61-inch-diameter (1.55-meter) titanium payload fairing will jettison during the third stage burn, once the Minotaur 1 flies above the dense, lower layers of the atmosphere.
After burnout of the third stage, the rocket will coast for several minutes until it reaches the proper altitude for ignition of the fourth stage Orion 38 motor, which will place the three NRO satellites into orbit. The payloads will separate from the rocket soon after the fourth stage completes its burn.
The launch Tuesday will mark the 28th flight of a Minotaur rocket since 2000, including suborbital missions. It will be the 18th orbital launch of a Minotaur rocket, and the 12th use of the Minotaur 1 configuration, which is capable of placing a payload of up to 1,278 pounds (580 kilograms) into low Earth orbit.
Northrop Grumman also launches the Minotaur 4 rocket family using more powerful surplus Peacekeeper missile motors.
It will be the eighth Minotaur rocket to launch from the Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport in Virginia. Minotaur missions have also launched from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California, the Pacific Spaceport Complex in Alaska, and Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.
The NROL-111 mission is the second launch in two days for Northrop Grumman’s rocket program.
The company’s air-launched Pegasus XL rocket fired into orbit Sunday off the coast of California with a small Space Force satellite named Odyssey. The spacecraft was developed in less than a year, and the Space Force conceived the mission as a demonstration for a “tactically responsive launch” capability.
Military officials informed Northrop Grumman of the target launch date and the mission’s orbital parameters just 21 days ahead of time. Northrop Grumman configured a Pegasus rocket already in its inventory to launch the Odyssey space surveillance satellite.
“It just shows the depth and breadth of Northrop Grumman’s capabilities that we have fairly independent teams to be able to get these two launches off in two days on opposite coasts,” said Kurt Eberly, head of the company’s launch vehicles division.
“These launches are both for the U.S. Space Force, so when they want to launch, and when the Space Force’s customer — the NRO — wants to launch, we try to be there on the day that they want,” Eberly said.
Northrop Grumman’s orbital-class rockets, which also include the Antares launcher used for space station resupply missions, have a relatively low flight rate. The launch Sunday was the first flight of a Pegasus rocket since 2019, and Antares rockets typically launch about twice per year.
But the company also launches suborbital rockets on tests of the U.S. military’s missile defense system. Eberly said Northrop Grumman plans to launch 28 rockets in 2021, and they all use the same common avionics package, from small target vehicles to the medium-class Antares rocket.
“Most of them you’re not really going to hear about,” he said. “They’re target launches for various parts of the military, but nonetheless each of those is a rocket in and of itself.”

During the buildup to this year’s rendition of the Oswego State Invitational for cross country on Sept. 15, both Lakers cross country squads have proven themselves capable of impressive showings.
At the SUNY Poly Wildcat Invitational and the Hamilton College Invitational, both teams have attained desirable results.
For the early part of the season, Magnussen and his teams have prioritized reaching goals they set for themselves and maintaining their health rather than winning the meets.
McCarthy gathered points in both meets for the Lakers, finishing second at SUNY Poly and sixth in the 5K at Hamilton College.
The Liverpool native is no stranger to success in a Laker uniform, having received Second Team SUNYAC All-Conference honors for the 2016 season and holding the Oswego State school record in the 8K with a time of 25:28.2.
With times of 19:39 and 15:40 so far this season, McCarthy has been the Lakers’ top finisher in both races, but high finishes are not his goal at this point in the season.
“We really have been just trying to use benchmarks to stay in the right range to get where we need to be,” Magnussen said. “Whether you run 5:30 for the first mile or 5:20, that’s good to know when we change our race plan later in the season.”
“Really what we’re just trying to do is build up that pack mentality and keep our top-five all together so we have a strong pack and can have a bit of intimidation going into the postseason,” McCarthy said.
When it comes to McCarthy, the key to maintaining his high level of success can be attributed to something very simple: The team.
“I just try to do the best that I can do every week, and if I happen to be first or second, or even fifth, then as long as we do good as a team it doesn’t really matter to me,” McCarthy said.
In terms of expectations toward winning their lone home meet this season, the team cares more about sticking to their plan than going above and beyond to place at the top of the standings.
“I would expect the men this weekend to stay about the same as where they were in that second or third range,” Magnussen said. “I expect the race this weekend to be more competitive.”
“Whether we’re competing with the top guys or not, there’s always something out there we can compete with,” Magnussen said.
On the women’s side, the Lakers started the season with a third place finish, but faltered last weekend sliding to an eighth place finish at Hamilton College, which still garnered praise from Magnussen.
“SUNY Poly was a much less competitive field than Hamilton so I wasn’t actually disappointed with that finish at all given that our top runner was out due to injury reasons,” Magnussen said. “The face that we were five positions back actually made a lot of sense.”
It is unknown whether the top runner Magnussen was referring to, Kayla Wheeler, will be out again this weekend.
Since there is a strong field this weekend, including perennial powerhouse SUNY Geneseo, SUNY Cortland and Ithaca College, among others, Magnussen preached for more of the same from his women’s team.
Both teams this will look to continue their success in the early part of the season en route to the SUNYAC and regional meets at the end of the season.

I keep going back, less and less often now. Each time I find myself there for shorter periods. I pull up in front of the house, take a deep breath, hold it, open the front door and run in. I grab a few things or don't. I wander around, open cabinets that have a few items left, bedroom doors that reveal rooms with a few stray things inside, and a garage I cannot begin to pack. It holds His Things. Too many of His Things.
You see, while the kids and I have moved to our new home, our old home is still there. It's the home filled with the memories of Us. Of Him. Of our children and our pets and our lives together. It's where we lived and loved. It's where he took his last breath.
I don't think I can pack the rest of it. I don't think I can move the rest of it. Yet, I have to. The landscapers have come and readied the yard. The painters will need to come to prepare the inside for a new family; paint over what made it Our Home, cover Peanut's black walls and Bug's kiwi bird.
My daughter's tree will still grow in the front yard. It will still be our house, but it will no longer be Our House.
And the attic. Fuck. I haven't been up there in so long. Christmas decorations and bins filled with memories from years past. So tempted to lock it and leave it.
So tempted to find a way to stop time or fast-forward time or make it all not be this hard. Do they make a giant broom that sweeps it all under a giant rug? What about a shovel that scoops it all into a moving van in one push?
Do they make anything for these tears that won't stop falling?

How Web3 Will Impact the Game Development Industry
The gaming sector is growing swiftly and has a lot of room for growth. By 2021, the CAGR for online gaming sales is expected to be 40% or over 2.8 billion dollars. The video gaming industry has developed into one of the main proponents of web3. In order to give players worldwide the best gaming experience, Web3 wishes to give game developers the resources they need to create blockchain-based games.
As more people participate in gaming models like play to earn, the gaming industry is expanding at an astounding rate. The development of technology over time has had a tremendous impact on the gaming industry.
According to studies, the gaming industry’s revenue will surely top $174 billion by 2021. The gaming sector reportedly earned $72.2 billion in gross revenue in 2019. In the following years, it is anticipated that revenue levels will rise dramatically. Additionally, gamers will turn their focus from video games to blockchain-based games.
Do you want to learn more about the connection between Web3 and the gaming sector and how Web3 will alter the gaming industry? Let’s continue this article now:
Why Gamers Will Switch to the Web3-
The goal of Web3 is to decentralize, open up, and simplify the Internet. The improved web, which is transforming the industry, has an effect on the gaming sector. Web 3 will fundamentally alter the video game industry. In the modern gaming era, players can earn money while having fun. The following is a summary of the main reasons why gamers utilize the Internet:
1.) To Acquire Asset Ownership:
You can maintain control even after a sale since Web3 technology links assets to players rather than games. It protects investments and ensures fair play in gaming environments where developers can’t easily take advantage of or exploit players’ card information. As a result, all transactions are displayed. All users will be able to access the online market, own in-game items, and experience digital insufficiency thanks to Web3. After the sale, all users will be able to buy asset ownership because each Web 3 asset will only have a limited supply.
2.) How to Make Money Playing:
In the Web 3 age, playing video games will enable people to make money. Players can put their own money into the market during that new game session. Additionally, they can buy a particular item to resell to other players inside or outside the virtual world. In-app purchases for video games account for more than half of the gaming industry’s revenue.
A player’s earned monetary resources and the priceless assets they have stored in their accounts are protected when they buy something in Web 3. The technology will link that asset to that player. After then, players have the option of keeping or selling these virtual items outside of the game.
3.) To Make Digital Assets Interoperable:
Web 3 and NFTs, or non-fungible tokens, which enable interactive connection across numerous games and even other apps, will allow players to easily switch between their digital assets.
4.) To Witness Simple Modifications:
As a result of potential terms of service violations, game developers on Web 2 were reluctant to allow for game updates. For any of these reasons, members were unable to change the rules of the game. The single aspect of Web 3 that allows for game modification is its open-source design, which lets users customize the game to their preferences.
5.) To Leave The Democratic Gaming Industry:
Developers will be able to contest the ultimate dominance of leading studios thanks to Web 3’s decentralized characteristics. This would enable game developers to publish their works online and inspire new concepts for futuristic games.
What is the relationship between Web 3 and the gaming industry?
Web3 technology is one of the main technologies influencing developments in the game industry. With web3 game development tools, designers can produce cutting-edge, futuristic games, changing the gaming industry. Because of this new Internet, disruptive technologies are now being introduced into the game industry. If you want to comprehend the relationship between the gaming industry and Web 3, it is ideal for you to realize how the two firms connect.
Analysts predict that the gaming sector will be worth $125.7 billion by 2025. It is projected that after Web3’s development, its worth will increase even more. Only Web3 makes it possible for all players to interact and engage in games in new ways. It also makes it possible for players to own in-game items.
Web3 in particular makes it possible to create and modify Decentralized Autonomous Organizations for gaming. Web3 games, to put it simply, allow for player interaction, the exchange of virtual commodities, and financial gain. It creates a foundation for play-to-earn and play-to-play for all players. This strategy gives gamers the chance to win cryptocurrency rewards. Players are encouraged by Web3 to make money.
These components all enhance the user experience while enabling full asset and internal training ownership. Through Web3, IoT gaming applications are gathered. Web3 experts attest to its superior security in this way.
You may create and own assets like skins and emblems, as well as own them and win awards, when you use Web3. This is just one of many important benefits that using Web3 provides. Artificial intelligence can be used by gamers to improve their skills, gain credibility, and correct flaws. Web3 can also be used to connect to blockchain technology and the Metaverse. The virtual market for the gaming industry is improved via Web3. Customers can share suggestions for how these games might evolve thanks to the blockchain underpinning of Web3.
In conclusion, Web 3 will revolutionize the gaming business in a matter of years and enable all players to profit. Players will be able to use their own funds to purchase premium assets, which they can then sell to other players both inside and outside of Web 3.
Web3 development company will transform the whole game industry and open up a wealth of new possibilities. It will also inspire a lot of experts to continue making significant investments in or joining the growth of the gaming industry.

Mickey and the Bear is a new drama film written and directed by Annabelle Attanasio. The movie tells the story of a young girl who must decide between her obligations to her drug-addicted father and following her own aspirations to move away from home for college. It made its debut at the 2019 SXSW Film Festival.
Perhaps the most frustrating thing about this film is that the story is just so straightforward. There really isn’t that much complexity in the story itself, with a majority of the depth coming from the performances. The focus of the movie isn’t really on the plot, but on the characters and the way they are affected by the events that occur.
That being said, for a character study like this to be compelling, the characters have to be extremely well-written, and this film just doesn’t have that going for it. The characters adhere far too closely to their archetypes to be particularly interesting. They also don’t experience very much of an arc, as they begin and end the movie in pretty much the same emotional state.
The film is definitely very underdeveloped thematically. There are hints of interesting themes that pop up in the movie every once in a while, but they are never explored fully in any satisfying way. For example, the film could have said something more profound about the veterans’ crisis we are facing in America right now, but much of this material is left implicit.
The pacing of the movie is also quite weak. At a certain point, the film starts to feel quite repetitive and almost redundant. Although the situations do change, the emotional beats are the same thing over and over again until you feel like you are getting beaten over your head with depression. The movie is less than an hour and a half long, but it feels much longer.
That being said, the reason that this film is worthy of note is the performances. Camila Morrone and James Badge Dale both light up the screen. After this and Never Goin’ Back, Morrone has proven that she is a formidable talent. She needs to continue getting lead roles, as her performance almost certainly elevates the movie. Badge Dale is great as the protagonist’s father, brilliantly capturing the character’s dual personality.
On a technical level, the film was mostly forgettable. There wasn’t anything special happening in terms of execution. There is no flair in the cinematography, editing, or score. The focus is placed firmly on the actors and their performances rather than the more cinematic elements of the movie or the script, as everything but the actors was admittedly average.
Overall, Mickey and the Bear was a mediocre film saved by two great performances. Were it not for the work of these two great actors, the movie would have been a huge disappointment.
Mickey and the Bear debuted at the 2019 SXSW Film Festival.

Germany is a place of impressive architecture from many eras and styles, but it has become very competitive in its modern architecture. Many of Germany's Metropolises, including Berlin, have only just begun rebuilding and developing new structures since its era of war and destruction.
The Berliner Dom is the largest church in Berlin. I found it to be one of the most impressive churches in Germany with it's exquisite Baroque style and scale. When you first start to see the turquoise green domes from a distance, you become aware of the immensity, but only while standing square in front of it did I feel in awe of its overwhelming massiveness. The green rusted copper statues and ashy pillars definitely add to the visual experience. It may easily have been the most religious church experiences I have ever had, and I've been to A LOT of churches. Or maybe I was just impressed.
The Marie Elisabeth Lüders Haus is an amazing architectural dedication to the late Elisabeth Lüders, an important political figure to Womens' Rights Movement in Germany. It is located on the Spree River with the Reichstag standing across the river.
Below are images of Potsdamer Platz, where the Grand Hotel Esplanade still stands. The hotel was once frequented by Greta Garbo and Charlie Chaplin. Potsdamer Platz used to be the busiest square in Berlin, but later became an area of destruction and division. The Berlin Wall once intersected right through the platz. Most of this area is very new, and has only recently returned to an area of major growth and attraction.
Below is the famous robot statue from Fritz Lang's film, Metropolis. It can be found at the Filmhaus (Film Musuem) in Potsdamer Platz.

Having successfully worked with a wide range of issues and dynamics common to partner and family relationships, I’ve seen that the host of reasons that typically bring people in to therapy most often boil down to variations on several core themes:
- Equality Issues and Power Dynamics: gender roles; money and finances; division of household chores; parent-child triangulation and alliances; growing adolescent independence; or adult-adult or adult-child power struggles.
- Unhealthy or Ineffective Conflict: blaming and criticizing; controlling or demanding behavior; passive-aggressiveness; avoidance and withdrawal; explosive anger and use of threats; or repeating family-of-origin enactments.
- Intimacy Issues: loneliness; despair; jealousy; lack of closeness or warmth; feeling “smothered;” defensiveness; mistrust; feeling left out or disconnected; inability to have heartfelt conversations; or sexual dissatisfaction or infidelity.
- Parenting Concerns: trouble at school; “acting out” behaviors; depression; social awkwardness or anxiety; differences in parenting values; disagreement about discipline styles; or imbalances in parental involvement.
My work with couples and families goes to the heart of these common issues and concerns through focusing on three key areas: 1) promoting effective communication, 2) strengthening healthy attachment relationships, and 3) examining relevant relationship patterns (eg. family dynamics). An initial emphasis is placed on creating a sense of safety and respect, while each member is supported in “being real” and participating with authenticity. We simultaneously clarify purpose and establish direction for the work that we will do together in coming sessions.
Therapy with couples and families tends to begin rapidly and to proceed with greater intensity than in individual therapy. Consequently, significant progress can often happen in weeks or months, rather than months or years. I typically see couples and families weekly or every two weeks, and with multiple people it is usually desirable for sessions to be 75 or 100 minutes in length. Changes that can often occur after several months are:
- Clearer, More Honest and Heartfelt Communication
- Less “Stuckness” in Family Relationships
- Warmer and More Satisfying Connections
- More Realistic Expectations of One Another
- Healthier Boundaries
- Greater Appreciation for the Challenges of Close Relationships
- More Productive Conflict and Ability to Navigate Differences
- Increased Ability to Work Together Towards Shared Goals
- Improvement in Problematic Behaviors
- Greater Feelings of Trust, Hope, Aliveness, and Gratitude
If you are wondering if couples or family therapy may be right for you, I encourage you to read more about my Approach or call 415-312-0318 for a free initial phone consultation. I would be happy to address concerns you may have or answer any questions about how the process of couples and family therapy “works.”

Ibex was a short-lived Liverpool-based rock band in 1969. It is primarily known for being the first band that Freddie Mercury (then known as Freddie Bulsara), later of Queen fame, performed with. The other members of the band were Mike Bersin on guitar, Mick Smith on drums and John 'Tupp' Taylor (later Jim Capaldi's manager) on bass. In October 1969, the band changed its name to Wreckage but broke up in November 1969.
On September 9, 1969, the band performed a concert at The Sink in Liverpool, which…

Agreement is signed turning over Alma ball field to Village of Alma from Alma Ball Park Association. Pictured sitting left to right are Gary Neilson, Kenny Neilson, Denny Osborne and back row left to right Terry Neilson, Chuck Johnson, Joyce Wilkins, Ivan Wilkins, Judy Wilkins, Joe Wilkins and Mayor Russell Swift.
Committee Appointed to Manage And Develop Alma Ball ParkA special meeting of the Alma Village Board saw the appointment of a seven-person committee tasked with managing and developing the baseball field on the north side of Alma, which was recently donated to the city by the Alma Ballpark association.
Mayor Russell Swift says that there is a lot of work to do on the ball field before it is ready for play, including fixing various electrical problems, clearing out the infield, and putting a new roof on the dilapidated concession stand.
City crews along with a host of volunteers are slated to perform the actual work required to get the ballpark in operational condition.
Swift says that the village hopes to put on a small weekend tournament sometime this fall when the infield is in better condition in order to raise funds. The ballpark association donated $6,700 to assist with the renovations, which the city is storing in a newly-appropriated park fund.
Serving on the board will be Chuck Johnson, Denny Osborn, Joel Gunter, Kenny Smith, Ted Arnold, Steve Lindsey, and Mayor Swift.

Limavady girl Rachael O’Connor has admitted she was “terrified” during her performance on BBC One show The Voice at the weekend.
The 17 year-old made it through to the live shows next week with her rendition of Paloma Faith’s ‘New York’ but said she is now out to prove mentor Kylie Minogue made the right decision in choosing her.
Fellow Ulster girl Jai McConnell was knocked out of the competition at the weekend, but Rachael said she is sure it will not be the last we hear from the Belfast woman.
Rachael said she is determined to be more confident as she progresses through the contest, but admitted it is difficult.
“I have to show everyone else I deserved a spot and Kylie didn’t make a mistake (choosing Rachael),” she told BBC’s Nolan Show.
“I was terrified, and I’m pretty sure the rest of the UK watched how terrified I was.
“I’m still a 17 year-old girl from a tiny village who can’t believe this is happening.”
Meanwhile it was announced yesterday that Kylie Minogue will play Belfast’s Odyssey Arena on November 9 as part of her Kiss Me Once tour.
The ‘I should be so lucky’ singer’s tour is set to be a mixture of her new music as well as popular old hits.

Start of your stay in Vizzavona. Settle into your accommodation. Access by train from Ajaccio, Bastia or Calvi.
Vizzavona to L'Onda
First steps on the GR20 north in a very mineral environment. The climb takes you through the Vizzavona forest to the cascade des Anglais. The GR runs alongside the Agnone stream and passes close to the Tortetto sheepfold. This is followed by a climb over rocky slabs towards the Pointe de Muratellu (2141 m). The panorama of the Monte Rotondu massif is breathtaking. The descent to the refuge and the Onda sheepfolds offers an opportunity to appreciate a pastoral area that is still active.
L'Onda to Petra Piana
A great day in the mountains with a traverse of the alpine variant leading to the Petra Piana refuge (1850 m). Leaving the Onda sheepfolds, you'll climb the ridges of the Serra di Tenda via Capu a Meta. The GR20 then takes you to the Pinzi Corbini peak (2021 m), from where you have a commanding view of part of the island's west coast, including the Bay of Ajaccio. The route is very wild, offering breathtaking panoramas. The route continues through the Serra Bianca before descending to Bocca Manganello (1790 m). At the end of the day, you'll arrive at the Petra Piana refuge.
Petra Piana to Camputile plateau
This is a high mountain stage with a few technical sections equipped with chains. You will soon reach Bocca Muzzella (2206m) and enter the upper Restonica valley. From this point, the GR20 overlooks several glacial lakes: Risono, Melo and Capitello. From Bocca à Soglia to Bocca Alle Porte, the path follows a ridge dotted with large granite boulders. The views along the way are breathtaking. To the east, you'll have a view of the great peaks of the Rotondu massif, and to the west, the sea and the vast Gulf of Sagone. You will then descend through a vast scree to the source of the Filiccioni waterfall. Finally, a gentler route will take you to the Manganu refuge.
Camputile Plateau to Col de Vergio
TThe GR20 descends to the Bocca d'Acqua Ciarnente (1703m) before reaching the Vaccaghja sheepfolds, crossing the vast Camputile plateau where herds of cows graze freely. You'll follow the Tavignano stream through a forest of beech trees shaped by time. The route then takes you past the old Campiglione refuge, and on to the Inzecche sheepfolds. You'll then be amazed by Lake Nino, with its magnificent pozzines and lush green meadows. Here, wild horses, cows and sheep revel in the fresh grass. After crossing the Bocca a Rera pass, follow a path through the Vergio forest, passing the Bocca San Petru.
Col de Vergio to Melarie Valley
The path through the Valdu Niellu forest is long but rolling, allowing you to make rapid progress. You'll pass the sheepfolds of E Radule, the ruins of Tulla and cross a footbridge over the waterfall in the Lonca valley. Continuing through the valley, you'll admire Laricio pines and natural pools, perfect for a swim. Following the Golo river, the longest in Corsica, the Ciottulu di i Mori refuge is revealed at the top of the valley. After climbing to the refuge, a rocky path leads to the Bocca di Fogiale pass. The steep descent offers views of the Paglia Orba, leading on to the Albertacce forest. A final climb takes you to the Vallone sheepfolds.
Melarie Valley to Haut Asco
After half an hour's walk, you'll reach the Tighjettu refuge and then begin an intense 3-hour ascent over 1,000 metres of ascent through scree. At the summit, you'll discover the magnificent Lac du Cintu, often covered in snow. Monte Cintu can be seen a little further on. Following the western curve, you'll reach the Bocca Crucetta at an altitude of 2,456 metres, a popular spot for lunch breaks. The long, technical descent takes you past Lac d'Argentu and the Bocca Borba, with its passages equipped to aid progress. Finally, after crossing a wooded footbridge, you'll reach Ascu Stagnu.
NB: if the snow is too heavy at the start of the season, you may need to change stages to avoid the dangers.
Haut Asco to Carrozzu
Starting from the Asco ski resort, the trail begins with an ascent towards the Bocca di Stagnu (1979m). Although this section is short in terms of distance, it is demanding due to its gradient and the type of terrain. From the pass, the GR20 continues along the ridge, offering impressive views over the Asco valley and the Gulf of Calvi. After passing the Bocca di a Muvrella and its lake, the landscape is mainly composed of majestic rock formations and stretches of scrubland. Descending towards the Refuge de Carrozzu, you cross a series of sloping rocky slabs, followed by the Spasimata footbridge. Some passages are secured by chains, but caution and concentration are essential.
Carrozzu to Ortu di U Piobbu
Second to last stage of the GR20 North. From the refuge, the path runs alongside birch trees and follows the Spasimata stream up to the rocky areas between Punta Innominata and Punta Ghialla. A steep, technical scree slope will then take you to the plateau, the Bocca di l'Innominata, at an altitude of 1,912 metres. The view from here is exceptional, giving you the impression of overlooking all the bays in northern Corsica as far as the eye can see. The Bonifatu cirque is also revealed in all its mineral majesty. After crossing the Col d'Avartoli and rounding Capu Ladroncellu, the path gradually descends towards the refuge.
Ortu di U Piobbu to Calenzana
On the final leg of the GR20 towards Calenzana, the route first passes through coniferous undergrowth leading to Capu Ghiovu. It then heads towards Capu di u Ravalente, passing through the Sambucu state forest. At Bocca u Corsu, you'll cross the Mare e Monti along an old mule track to the Ortiventi fountain. The final descent reveals a magnificent panorama of the Gulf of Calvi and the village of Calenzana.
Programs have been drawn up according to the latest information available at the time of writing: imponderables are always possible and situations beyond our control may alter the course of the program.

Mike Adenuga Towers
Headquarters of Globacom, the emerging Nigerian telecoms giant that is in talks to purchase 50% Telkom shares in South Africa's Vodacom. It is located on the Victoria Island and owned by Mike Adenuga Jr., a publicity shy but very amiable businessman. I once tried to photograph him at a charity dinner in Ghana last December but his aide stopped me. It was the same for everybody that aimed a camera at him.
His favourite animal is the bull which he likes for his own bullishness in business terms. He has another building like this called the Bull Plaza. His company ssponsors the Nigerian football league and the mascot of the league is a raging bull. All personal totems of his.


Carrying the Torch Sam Soloman of Shoe Center
When Sam Soloman first began working for Famous Footwear at 19 years old, he never imagined his journey would lead him here. But as of 2021, he has taken full ownership of The Shoe Center right here in The Villages Town Center at Brunswick Forest. After receiving ownership from Mike Parnell, Sam shared his thoughts with us on his latest achievement.
Originally from Illinois, Sam got his start in the shoe industry at the young age of 19. He worked at an establishment known as Famous Footwear for about a year until moving on to other ventures. After five years of working in restaurants, Sam decided that he would return to selling footwear. These years involved a lot of travel to the greater Wilmington area. “I lived not far outside of Chicago, and when I was young, we used to travel to my Grandmother’s house in Kure Beach, North Carolina. Every spring break I would visit her and loved the area. I thought that I could raise a family here. So, that’s how I ended up in Wilmington,” Sam says.
He would end up managing a shoe store here in Wilmington for 13 years until he was contacted by Mike Parnell with a better opportunity to grow his position in the industry. “He called me up and asked if I wanted to work with him and if I wanted an opportunity to grow. I said ‘yes.’”
Sam first started working for Shoe Center here at The Villages five years ago, and after a great partnership, Mike knew it was time to pass the torch to someone he could trust. That person was Sam, and he is looking forward to his role as the new owner.
“The Shoe Center is a different kind of store than the one I worked for in Illinois. This one focuses more on comfort. It’s amazing to realize how many people don’t understand that their feet don’t have to hurt constantly. There’s footwear that can help.” When asked what brands he would recommend for an active lifestyle, Sam said, “Our number one shoe line is called the ‘On’ brand of footwear. It’s a small running shoe that’s very lightweight, shock-absorbing, and comfortable.” Because of the year-round mild temperatures here, many locals prefer to wear flip-flops. Sam says the Shoe Center has a special brand for that category too. “We tend to offer more comfort-orientated flip-flops from the Olukai brand of footwear.”
For Sam, the greatest joy in working with footwear is watching a customer come in with mobility problems and then leaving pain-free with a new purchase. “I’m most excited about being part of a community like Brunswick Forest. And I’ve realized that now more than ever how important that feeling is.” Sam concludes.
If functional but comfortable footwear is what you’re in the market for, stop by and see Sam at the Shoe Center!

The collection of anonymous German folk poems assembled by Achim von Arnim and Clemens Brentano known as ’Des Knaben Wunderhorn’ (’The Youth’s Magic Horn’) inspired generations of composers - from Carl Maria von Weber to Arnold Schoenberg, but no composer has become as closely identified with these peoms as is Gustav Mahler. It was the emotional range of the Wunderhorn poems, perhaps more than any other single factor, that made them so appealing to Mahler’s temperament. With subjects ranging from love and heartbreak to childhood fantasy to military life and war, Mahler found a literary inspiration that matched his own complicated psychology. Mahler spoke of the Wunderhorn poems as being "essentially different from all kinds of ’literary’ poetry, being more nature and life-that is, the sources of all poetry-than art."
Between 1887 and 1901, he wrote two dozen settings of Wunderhorn texts, several of which were incorporated into his Second, Third and Fourth symphonies. In 1899, he published a collection of a dozen Wunderhorn settings that has since become known, as "Songs from ’Des Knaben Wunderhorn."
On this very special recording made in commemoration of the 100th anniversary of Mahler’s death, Maestro GIelen -one of our generation’s greatest Mahlerians - is joined by singers Christiane Iven and H. Müller-Brachmannin in his first integral recording of the entire cycle!
Now in his 80s, Michael GIelen is showing no signs of slowing down, as these vital, new performances will demonstrate. Mahler fans, REJOICE!
Pizzicato magazine - January 2011
"...Gielen’s disc is a valuable contribution from one of the most eminent living Mahlerians."

Different endophyte options are available. Endophyte type needs to be specified when ordering seed.
Note: The ryegrass cultivar itself determines at least 50% of the plant's growth persistence, so this must also be considered.
NEA2 endophyte is ideally suited to intensive farming systems through all regions of NZ, providing persistent pasture for dairy cows, sheep and beef with excellent animal performance. Ryegrass with NEA2 gives good control of black beetle and pasture mealy bug (provisional rating). NEA2 also provides a good level of control for Argentine stem weevil (ASW) which is higher in the diploid cultivar Trojan than in Bealey. NEA2 is a combination of several endophyte strains. Available in Agriseeds cultivars: Bealey, Trojan and Rohan.
This endophyte is only avaible in the hybrid ryegrass Shogun. It gives good black beetle control. Overall, insect resistance is similar to Bealey with NEA2.
AR1 is a good endophyte for many intensive farming situations throughout NZ, providing excellent animal performance and health. However, AR1 should not be sown in northern North Island on soils affected by black beetle. It provides very good control of ASW and pasture mealybug. AR1 is staggers free with excellent lamb LWG and milksolids production. Available in Agriseeds cultivars: Alto and Arrow.
AR37 provides a wide spectrum of insect resistance, giving very good control of ASW, pasture mealybug and root aphid with good contol of black beetle. It is the only endophyte to provide a level of porina control. Lamb LWG on AR37 is generally good, although it may be reduced in periods of severe staggers. Ryegrass staggers on AR37 is less likely to occur than on SE. AR37 must not be used for horses or deer because of its animal health issues. Available in Agriseeds cultivar:Alto.
Standard endophyte (SE)
SE (also sometimes called High endophyte) is not recommended. SE can cause severe
ryegrass staggers, reduces lamb LWG, increases dags and flystrike and has been shown to reduce milksolids production.
Ryegrass with Low endophyte is an option for areas of very limited insect damage. Many farmers in Southland are having better results from sowing NEA2, AR1 or other endophyte options. Low endophyte has no animal health problems, butnsect resistance is also lost. Available in Agriseeds cultivars: Alto, Arrow, Bealey and Rohan.
See NEA2. Endo5 is similar in performance and use to NEA2.
A meadow fescue endophyte that produces lolines to help provide protection from pests above and below ground. At present no actual data is available on the performance of Grubout U2.

These sites usually offer poor quality tattoo designs and galleries, together with unwanted advertising, and that’s where they create their revenue.

Future-Proofing Industrial Spaces: Top 5 Reasons to Partner with a Racking Manufacturer in Industrial Construction
In the intricate tapestry of industrial construction, collaboration between architects, builders, and developers with a reputable pallet racking manufacturer is paramount. As these professionals envision the blueprint for industrial spaces, aligning with a trusted manufacturer like North American Steel ensures seamless integration of every element, especially pallet racking systems. This collaboration not only optimizes space but also lays the foundation for future-proofing the client’s operations. Here are the top five reasons for architects, industrial builders, and developers to forge robust alliances with leading racking manufacturers.
Tailored Solutions for Optimal Space Utilization
At the core of industrial success lies the ability to optimize space, and a reliable racking manufacturer excels in customization. By working closely with experts, architects can embed tailored storage solutions into their designs, ensuring optimal space utilization that aligns with current and future client needs. This forward-thinking approach not only enhances functionality but also paves the way for adaptable spaces that can evolve in tandem with the client’s business growth.
Compliance and Safety Assurance
Safety is paramount in industrial environments, and a reputable racking manufacturer brings invaluable expertise to the safety conversation. Through collaborative efforts with architects and builders, manufacturers ensure that pallet racking systems not only meet but exceed industry safety standards. This approach mitigates risks and liabilities tied to storage infrastructure, establishing a secure foundation for the client’s operations both now and in the future.
Seamless Integration with Architectural Designs
The synergy between architectural designs and pallet racking is crucial for creating spaces that are both functional and visually appealing. Partnering with a racking manufacturer ensures that storage solutions seamlessly integrate into architectural visions. Whether for a warehouse, distribution centre, or manufacturing facility, the collaboration guarantees that storage systems meet operational needs while enhancing overall architectural aesthetics. This adaptable approach accommodates future adjustments and expansions.
Streamlined Project Management
Efficient project management is pivotal for successful industrial construction, and a collaboration with a racking manufacturer facilitates smooth coordination. From initial design to installation, a trusted collaborator simplifies the process, minimizing delays and ensuring the project stays on schedule and within budget. This streamlined approach fosters a collaborative environment where architects, builders, and manufacturers work cohesively, setting the stage for future-proofed industrial spaces.
Anticipating Future Needs – Avoiding Bottlenecks and Considering Slab Design
Forward-thinking collaboration involves more than just addressing present requirements. Architects, builders, and developers can proactively design spaces that anticipate future needs and avoid bottlenecks. Factors such as column placement, egress design, lighting, and notably, slab design, should be considered in conjunction with racking. Ensuring the slab’s capacity is sufficient to accommodate modern racking storage requirements is critical across various industries. This holistic approach prevents future challenges, positioning the industrial space for sustained growth and adaptability. Learn more about essential design factors in relation to racking here.

MOUNT HOOD: ADVENTURES OF THE WY’EAST CLIMBERS, 1930-1942
$25.00 USD + shipping (ISBN: 978-0-9887339-2-3)
Also at bookstores in Beaverton, Portland, Government Camp, Timberline Lodge, and various stores in the Columbia River Gorge.
In an age before cellphones, GPS satellite tracking technology, and high-tech mountaineering gear, mountaineers still managed to perform daring rescue work on Oregon’s highest peak—Mount Hood.
Members of the Wy’east Climbers helped form the Mt. Hood Ski Patrol in 1938 and were involved in the mountain’s search and rescue operations throughout the 1930s and 1940s. Rescuing injured climbers in violent storms at 10,000-feet, searching for lost alpinists amid sprawling glaciers, and recovering bodies on steep, icy slopes, and from volcanic fumaroles—the Wy’easters did it all.
Members of the Wy’east Climbers also made the first ascents of Mount Hood’s difficult climbing routes: Leuthold Couloir, Sandy Glacier Headwall, and Eliot Glacier Headwall. They also reopened and popularized several routes that hadn’t been used in years: The Wy’east Trail, Cathedral Ridge, and the Newton-Clark Headwall Route.
To capture the historic and extremely humorous experiences of these alpinists before they were lost for good, Ric Conrad began interviewing surviving members of the exclusive climbing club. Hank Lewis, Lu Norene, Russ McJury, and Randall Kester provided insight into the region’s most fascinating peak and the various outlaws who climbed alongside them. The oral history gleaned from these interviews, coupled with the author’s extensive research in the archives of the Portland-based Mazamas, has yielded the most thorough picture of the Golden Age of exploration on Mount Hood.
“Mount Hood: Adventures of the Wy’east Climbers is a beautifully illustrated compilation of stories from the most significant period of climbing on Mount Hood. Ric Conrad records how the Wy’east Climbers not only explored and pioneered new routes on the peak, but also established rescue organizations in the early days of Pacific Northwest mountaineering. An extraordinary glimpse into the period and a ‘must read’ for all mountaineers.”
—Charles Shimanski, Education Director, Mountain Rescue Association
“The Wy’east Climbers were a legendary, elite group of Northwest climbers. This book captures the energy and spirit of these men and their standard of high achievement during the Depression years. Their love of adventure shines through the numerous compelling stories retold here and also their depth of companionship forged by these challenges.”
—Ian Wade, Executive Director, Outward Bound International
“Ric Conrad brings to life the people, personalities and spirit of these Golden Age climbing pioneers who laid such a formidable foundation for today’s mountaineers. Mount Hood: Adventures of the Wy’east Climbers is a must read for anyone with a love of Mount Hood or a fascination with the roots of American climbing.”
—Lloyd Athearn, Executive Director at Colorado Fourteeners Initiative

WITH games as poor as this you have to simply look for the positives.
In Hull FC’s case there was a few, namely that their three-match losing run is over and they now sit third in Super League, a top-four place secure after the regular campaign, any lingering fears of missing out disappeared.
The most pleasing aspect of this error-ridden, dull fixture, though, was the return of the Black and Whites captain Gareth Ellis after a three-month injury absence.
If it was not for him, you sense Huddersfield Giants – who had lost just once in their last seven outings – may just have had enough to nudge a victory that would realistically keep their campaign alive.
As it stands, as Rick Stone’s side failed to make the most of a late chance to snatch this dour contest, they are five points adrift of the top-four heading into the Super 8s, six if Wakefield beat St Helens tomorrow.
It would take a miracle for the Fartowners to prosper from there.
Hull, though, will be heartened by the sight of Ellis, the veteran loose forward, standing so tall during his 50 minutes of action spread out over two spells.
He certainly proved he is more than ready for the defence of their Challenge Cup when they face his former club Leeds Rhinos in the semi-final at Doncaster’s Keepmoat Stadium a week today.
That is something to cling on to for irritated Hull fans who – with the East Yorkshire club 12-10 ahead at the break – watched on as their side failed to capitalise on vast amounts of possession in a frustrating second half.
They badly lacked creative ideas and will be desperate to see Albert Kelly, the Australian half-back who has missed the last two games, return to boost hopes of back-to-back Wembley trips.
Ellis, however, was clearly keen to make his own mark having not played a Super League game since April due to a sternum injury. Just ask Ollie Roberts.
The Huddersfield second-row was clobbered by a thunderous Ellis tackle early in the game, a collision that would have left many on their knees.
Roberts did well to continue and have an impact of his own.
Nevertheless, the Hull captain had set his stall out and, with a number of trademark carries as well – legs pumping through the tackle – he helped them set up a 12-0 lead inside 22 minutes.
Ellis showed real class to set up Josh Bowden’s try, throwing a dummy with his back to the Giants line and then showing some great footwork to create the space for the prop.
Indeed, it was noticeable that Huddersfield worked their way back into the match immediately after Ellis departed on the half hour mark.
Within moments, they had conceded a penalty and their defence splintered far too easily, winger Mahe Fonua making an awful decision to allow Jordan Rankin to pick his pass to the unmarked Darnell McIntosh.
Danny Brough converted from wide out and, when Hull conceded another penalty, Huddersfield raided the opposite flank, this time Jermaine McGillvary picking up Martyn Ridyard’s pass before seeing space open up in front of him for the England international’s 16th try of the season.
Hull, though, were furious as they were adamant there was no infringement when Jake Connor was deemed to have stripped possession from Lee Gaskell to set up the chance.
Brough could not improve that second effort but it was his side who entered the break energised and suddenly emboldened.
In fairness, the visitors had not played too badly previously, despite going 12-0 down. Sebastine Ikahihifo was his usual explosive self and rapid hooker Kruise Leeming benefitted on numerous occasions from the Aucklander’s busts, surging out of dummy-half.
Unfortunately, they simply did not make the most of those gains.
Hull had struck first when Fonua broke clear, only denied by Gaskell who was fortunate not to be then yellow carded for trying to slow the play-the-ball. His penalty only delayed things, though, as Danny Houghton fed Mark Minichiello who muscled over.
Marc Sneyd slotted the first of his three goals and added his second after Bowden’s try.
They should have scored a third try when Fonua picked off Brough’s pass 10m from his own line and raced away but they failed to finish off, Bowden spilling in contact for a second time.
It offered Giants that chance to come back in and they gladly accepted. Nevertheless, they barely looked like scoring in the second period either and it was left to Sneyd to nudge Hull home with a 74th -minute penalty.
Still, that nearly ended in disaster as Huddersfield won a short re-start but Lee Radford’s side desperately hung on.
Hull FC: Shaul; Fonua, Griffin, Tuimavave, Talanoa; Connor, Sneyd; Taylor, Houghton, Watts, Minichiello, Manu, Ellis. Substitutes: Green, Washbrook, Bowden, Fash.
Huddersfield Giants: Rankin; McGillvary, Cudjoe, Gaskell, McIntosh; Brough, Ridyard; Rapira, Leeming, Ikahihifo, Roberts, Ferguson, Hinchcliffe. Substitutes: Wakeman, Ta’ai, Clough, O’Brien.
Referee: C Kendall (Huddersfield).

A master of noir crime fiction, James has up close and personal knowledge of the world of crime. His life has been shadowed by a gruesome event: the unsolved murder of his mother when he was a child. In 1958, Geneva Hilliker Ellroy's body was dumped on a roadway in El Monte, California, a seedy L.A. exurb. Her killer was never apprehended. Her murder unleashed a force that has propelled Ellroy's work. Ellroy channeled his anguish and transformed himself into an outsized public persona: an audacious, uncompromising, and unapologetic chronicler of humanity's dark side.
James Ellroy is masterly at speaking, his own backstory as riveting as any in fiction. Ellroy was born in 1948. He consumed crime novels as a young reader and developed an obsessive fascination with homicide after his father bought him Jack Webb's The Badge. In the book he discovered the story of the ghastly murder and mutilation of Elizabeth Short, known after her death as the Black Dahlia, whose murder and the subsequent investigation captivated the postwar imagination of the entire country.
As a young man haunted by his mother's death, Ellroy became a thief, an alcoholic, a drug abuser, and a peeping Tom. He served time in jail. Much of the first thirty years of his life was consumed by homelessness, alcoholism, drug abuse, petty crime, and a period of insanity. Ellroy eventually found steady work caddying at Los Angeles country clubs and joined AA. As he walked the golf courses while he worked, he harnessed his narrative passion to his fascination with crime and began to daydream a novel. In 1985 he began The Black Dahlia, an explicit attempt to marry his mother's murder to the famous case that had so obsessed him in his youth. The novel appeared in 1987 and was dedicated to his mother.
As a novelist, screenwriter, essayist, and memoirist, James Ellroy is more closely identified with Los Angeles than any writer since Raymond Chandler. Nearly all of his writing is set in Los Angeles, in the rough, racist, pre-Miranda Los Angeles of the decade following the Second World War. Four of his novels --- The Black Dahlia, The Big Nowhere, L.A. Confidential (an Academy Award winning-movie), and White Jazz --- are collectively known as the L.A. Quartet. They comprise a dark and obsessive 1950s anti-history of his hometown. His novels American Tabloid, The Cold Six Thousand, and Blood's A Rover (September 2009) form the Underworld U.S.A. Trilogy, and American Tabloid and his memoir, My Dark Places, were both named as Time magazine's Best Book of the Year, respectively.
Curtis Hanson directed the blockbuster film adaptation of L.A. Confidential (1997) in which (as in the book), everything is suspect, everyone is for sale, and nothing is what it seems. The Black Dahlia, directed by Brian De Palma, was released in 2006. Ellroy himself has been the subject of seven documentary films, including Feast of Death, by Academy Award-winning filmmaker Vikram Jayanti.

Bragga, whose real name is Nadia Nakai Kandava, was born on 18 May 1990. She is a South African rapper and songwriter who has managed to beat the competition in the industry and make a name for herself. She boasts of being the first female rapper to win the Mix Tape 1010 competition on e.TV and is making waves in the Mzansi entertainment scene with her hit songs.
Nadia Nakai was born into a family of mixed ethnicity – her father is South African while her mother is Zimbabwean. Though she is often called Bragga, she was born Nadia Nakai Kandava and was welcomed into her family on 18 May 1990. She went by the name Nadia Dlamini until she was sixteen years old when she adopted her mother’s name, Nadia Nakai.
After completing her high school education at Fourways High School, Nadia continued her academic pursuit at a higher institution. She studied for a double major in Media Studies, Communication, and Marketing at Monash University. She later relocated to Kenya to continue her studies where she connected with Nazizi. Meeting the Kenyan female rapper had a great influence on her music.
Nadia’s music career dates back to when she was under Nazizi’s mentorship in Kenya. This made her come up with the decision of becoming a professional rapper. She holds the record as the first female rapper to win e.tv’s Shiz Niz’ Mixtape 101 Competition. In September 2013, she dropped her debut single “Like Me” and released her first single under Sid Records.
Nakai landed a feature on Amantombazane Remix and collaborated with Ice Prince, a Nigerian artist, on Saka Wena upon performing at the Chanel O music video awards. In 2018, she had the opportunity to rap for Sway Calloway. As a host, she was selected as a red carpet host for MTV Africa awards in Bilbao Spain.
She dropped her first album, Nadia Naked, in 2019 and has been recognized among the best female MCs in South Africa. Though music lovers and her fans anticipated Nadia Naked II, the rapper gave a hint to drop the second album. She fulfilled her promise and gave fans what they wanted – Nadia Naked II. The song made waves in the country and in no time climbed to number one.
The album features household names in the industry including Kwesta, Kuli Chana, Tshego, and Lady Zamar. It also features Vic Mensa, a rapper, singer, and record producer from the United States. Fans and music lovers loved the Nadia Naked II album earning her “the best female rapper in Africa”. This increased her fan base as she records a huge presence on social media. Nadia sure knows how to impress lovers of good music no wonder her name is on many lips in the country.
In an interview session, Nadia revealed how she was able to work with Nigerian artiste Ice Prince. According to her, she bombarded him with emails requesting a collaboration. Fans and followers of Nadia Nakai’s music can get raw updates of her songs on her YouTube channel which has around 36.5K subscribers.
Rumors had it that Nadia Nakai was dating Bandile Mbere. They confirmed that they were in a relationship in 2018 but it seemed their relationship did not last long as they called it quits the following year. Her track “More Drugs” on her first album was a product of heartache over their breakup.
In 2018, Nadia Nakai was estimated to have a net worth of around US$800 000 (R12 133 280). In 2017, she bought an Audi A3 worth around R550 000 which she flaunted on social media.
