While lighting the tiny brass oil lamp with cloth wicks every morning in the crematorium and waiting for the dead to arrive, Subeena Rahman never thinks of her religion.
With a shawl draped over her head, the Muslim woman in her late twenties knows better than anyone now that death has no religion and everyone is alone and empty-handed on her last trip.
Working as a crematorium keeper at a Hindu crematorium in Irinjalakuda in this central Kerala district for three years, this young undergraduate student said she cremated hundreds of corpses, including those of more than 250 people living with HIV until here.
Even dripping sweat in a PPE kit for hours on end while cremating the bodies of COVID victims back to back during the second wave of the pandemic, she never forgot to pray for deceased souls in her own way without the barrier of religion or belief.
Rahman, who broke gender stereotypes by becoming a creamer, which is generally considered a small job even by men, is considered the first woman from the Muslim community to practice the profession in the southern state.
However, the 28-year-old housewife has the audacity to admit that it is not to break a shield of glass but to earn the daily bread of her family, provide for her husband and take care of her. sick father, who was a lumberjack. .
She also doesn’t hesitate to ask those who oppose her to give her a job and make fun of her for being a crematorium keeper.
The sight of still bodies, eyes closed and cotton stuffed in nostrils, was a nightmare to me like any other child. But corpses don’t scare me anymore, ”Rahman told PTI.
She said she never imagined she would become a crematorium guard because her childhood dream was to become a police officer.
It is fate that I assume this responsibility and I do this work with the greatest sincerity and dedication. I have never felt the slightest regret for choosing this profession because I firmly believe that every job has its own dignity … and I am proud of what I do, ” she said.
Subeena Rahman was desperate for a job when she learned of a vacancy in the SNBS Samajam Mukthisthan crematorium, run by the Ezhavas, a powerful backward Hindu community.
Besides Hindus, the bodies of members of the Christian community are also cremated in the gas crematorium.
Initially, her parents had concerns about the workplace, but she was adamant about taking the job because she knew she had to support her loved ones.
Although there was no visible opposition from anyone, including members of her community, many expressed doubts about whether the Hindu community would accept a Muslim woman as a creamer.
According to Hindu traditions, women are not allowed to visit the cremation site.
Many people have discouraged me by saying that members of the Hindu community would not accept a woman, especially from another religion for work. But no one has raised any objections so far and I have been able to prove to myself that sex and religion are not a barrier to doing any job, ” Rahman said confidently.
The full support given by her husband, a day laborer, and her family and her son Mohammed Irfan, has been a great source of strength.
After completing daily chores at home in the morning, Rahman would rush to the crematorium at 9:30 a.m.
Along with her two male colleagues, she cleaned the premises, removed the remains of the day before cremation and lit the oil lamp, marking the start of the duty in the morning.
There were days when she had to work continuously for 14 hours, especially during the peak of the COVID period.
” We get Rs 500 each per body, which is divided among the three equally. Normally we get 6-7 bodies every day. But, there were days when we had to cremate 12 COVID patients consecutively in one day, ”Rahman recalls.
When asked if she remembered the first cremation she had performed, the young woman reportedly replied without waiting for a second that it was a 65-year-old man named Siddharthan, who died of an insufficiency. cardiac.
The most painful occasion was the cremation of a five-year-old girl who accidentally slipped into a village pond and died.
His father was abroad. He came to see his daughter for the last time in the crematorium wearing a PPE kit. He collapsed when he handed me the body of the little girl to take her to the furnace. I couldn’t control myself then, ” the woman said.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t wear any memories or faces, which she encounters at the crematorium on her way home and engaging in her evening chores at home.
“I am fully aware now that we cannot stop death. It will come to all of us. If we are born, death will surely follow us. There is no escaping it, ” Rahman concluded on a philosophical note.

Social networkers lack loyalty: report
Many court other sites on the side
Social networking users tend to get around, as they say, and not stay faithful to one network, according to a new study.
The report, Web 2.0 & the New Net, by research group Parks Associates, found that MySpace users are chronically unfaithful. The survey found that nearly 40 per cent of MySpace users keep profiles on other social networking sites, such as Friendster and Facebook.
Meanwhile, loyalty among the smaller social networking sites is even lower, with more than 50 per cent of all users actively maintaining multiple profiles.
A straw poll in the offices of ElectricNews.net matched this pattern, with roughly half staying loyal to one social network while the remainder had multiple accounts.
According to Parks these trends highlight a peculiar aspect of the market for social networking services. The report found that nearly half of all social networkers regularly use more than one site, while one in six use three or more.
Parks said the result of its findings is that users are operating in an increasingly interlinked online environment, which is tied together by links, widgets, and the users themselves.
"MySpace is a growing ecosystem and one that, ironically, now extends beyond MySpace itself," said John Barrett, the lead author of the report.
In Barrett's view, this environment creates fertile ground for new social networking sites and application providers.
"A handful of users are all it takes to connect new services to the MySpace-centred environment. From there it can begin to spread virally, assuming of course that it offers something people want," he said.

Our Triune Being
There is a reason we focus on these three key aspects in healing. At Healing With Oneness our approach is fundamental to how we move forward and grow as a human being, and also as to how we heal.
We have three aspects to our beingness; body, mind and spirit.
Looking at these three aspects we have many therapies we can introduce to create a therapeutic approach to becoming whole.
Because we can become whole, we may want to look at our brokenness, and determine what will help the most to heal ourselves most effectively. We must also look at healing itself. We do not want healing to be traumatic in and of itself; we will want healing to be that which soothes the trauma, and completes the process of what the wound was causing us to experience. The law of attraction will work on our wounds; it is by the wound that we create our life situations so that we may heal, these life situations are brought to us to heal, and it is through these life experiences that we come to heal.
Though because we are conscious beings, we can consciously heal our wounds through therapies, and there are many therapies that we can look at. Determining what aspect of ourselves we want to heal, we will want to find the therapy that brings the most soothing, and has the greatest effect of helping us to become whole.
We have a great and varied approach to healing the physical. There are many therapies we can use, and in most cases we can make full recovery considering the approach and therapy we use, and the therapist we are seeing.

A number of seedless grape varieties have been introduced into Australia by CSIRO. Fruit from 24 of these varieties was dried and evaluated either as replacements for traditional seeded raisins, or for their potential to extend the range of dried fruit products.
Thomuscat, Sultana Moscata, Emerald Seedless, Fresno 58-93, CG1481, Russian Seedless and CSIRO selection MS23-7 produced high quality dried fruit and their potential as drying varieties would warrant further investigation.

What would summer be without a trip to the local berry patch?
In my neck of the woods and fields, it wouldn’t be summer at all.
Some of nature’s tastiest fruits — black raspberries, red raspberries, blueberries, and blackberries — ripen during the warmest days of the year. A perfectly timed visit to a prime location can yield a berry bonanza.
One such prime location includes sunny openings within rich woods. It is here where a particular kind of raspberry grows. Known as wineberry (Rubus phoenicolasius), this semi-recent newcomer to the North American continent produces delicious edible fruits that taste like tangy red raspberries.
During my latest visit to a local wineberry patch, I filmed a video in which I discuss the factors that contribute to the success of wineberry in North America, as well as tips for locating wild populations.
If you are interested in harvesting wineberries this year, check out the video!

(Redirected from Star Citizen Alpha 3.7.0)
Star Citizen Alpha 3.6.2

Star Citizen Alpha 3.7.1
Alpha Patch 3.7.0 has been released and is now available! The launcher version number should read: VERSION 3.7.0- LIVE.3180042.
- Added a voice activation option for VOIP transmission available in the FOIP/VOIP options menu.
- Added ship rental kiosks.
- Ship rental kiosks can be found at Teasa Spaceport in Lorville (Vantage Rentals) and Riker Memorial Spaceport in Area18 (Traveller Rentals). When renting, players can specify the duration (1, 3, or 30 days real time) with longer time being a better overall value. Rented ships are insured and customizable. The time remaining on the rental is shown on the mobiGlas and the ASOP terminal.
- Players can now mine small rocks for valuable commodities while on foot.
- To mine minerals and crystals while on foot players will need the multi-tool plus a mining attachment, both can be found at Area18, Lorville, and Levski. Once equipped players will be shown a UI interface for mining laser strength and fracture window similar to the mining mechanic on the Prospector. Once the rock is fractured, valuable minerals will be broken off and can be hand collected and stowed in the player's personal inventory.
- Harvestable objects can now be found and collected on various planetary bodies.
- Added a visor message that should notify the player if they are intentionally not respawned in a ship bed they had previously logged out of to help track down issues with bed logout.
- Added: Player Personal Inventory
- Player personal inventory can be accessed using interaction mode and selecting an activation dot in the player's view or by using the "i" key. From there a radial menu will appear showing the overall storage available, the percentage fill, and what items are stored. The amount a player can carry is based on the type of armor they are wearing, with storage capacities shown on kiosks and shop displays. Players can also highlight and drop items as well as "store all" items in a carriable box, provided they are standing within the cargo grid of a vehicle. Both the cargo grid stored box and the inventory itself can be sold at commodity kiosks.
- Added caves to Daymar, Hurston, and Aberdeen.
- Caves can now be found on the above rocky moons and planet, each contain harvestables and FPS mineable resources.
- ATC will now restrict landing privileges based on crimestat.
- Most major landing areas will now not grant landing privileges to anyone with a crimestat of one or more. GrimHex will allow anyone to land, including those in stolen ships. Rest stops, Port Olisar, and Levski will allow anyone up to crimestat level three to land but will not allow stolen ships.
- New missing person "investigation" mission for caves.
- Players can now share missions.
- Accepted missions now have the "share" option, which shares the mission with all members of the player's current party. Upon mission completion, the total payout is divided up among the party members.
- New Star Marine Elimination Map: The Good Doctor
- Radical Outsiders cult has taken over an old terraforming facility on Leir II. Join the Marine task force and attempt to take it back, or join the loyal cultists and defend the honor of the good doctor himself, Dr. Marcus Fayel.
Ships and Vehicles
- Added: Aegis Vanguard Harbinger
- Added: Aegis Vanguard Sentinel
- Added: RSI Mantis and player interdiction gameplay
- From the pilot seat of the Mantis, players can activate a dampening field via interaction, labeled "QED", which will prevent ships from quantum traveling if they are within a short range. You can also begin charging the quantum snare via interaction "Q Snare Charge". Once charged, activate the snare with "Q Snare Initiate". Once activated, an enforcement bubble of 20 km will be put in place that will pull ships passing through out of quantum. When a ship is "snared", the location of the snare will be shown to the pilot and all players within their party. The snared ship will have its quantum drive dampened within the bubble. Note, this is the location of the snare not the ship itself which can move from that position. Charging and maintaining the snare costs significant power and cooling resources
- An exclusion zone around major stations where the snare can be be activated has been put in place and activating the snare within monitored space is an imperial offense and will raise the player's crimestat.
- Added: Banu Defender
- The Banu Defender has a special shield that is best operated by two people via advanced hardening mechanics. The best way to utilize this feature is with a co-pilot adjusting hardening on their MFD while the pilot focuses on flying and engaging enemies.
- Added a keybind "J" to manually toggle compatible ships into VTOL mode, shifting the ships thrust orientation when desired.
- Some small ships can now mount size 2 gimbals into size 1 hardpoints, allowing them to gimbal size 1 weapons. Those ships include the Auroras, Mustangs, Merlin, Archimedes, 85x, Nox, Dragonfly, and Prospector.
- Added new IFCS system: Proximity Assist
- Proximity assist, which will now replace hover mode for near surface control, dampens ship acceleration when near surfaces to give the pilot better fine control and is enabled by default. Proximity assist can be disabled in the options menu.
Weapons and Items
- New Ship Weapon: Kroneg FL-Series Laser Cannons.
- With a steady hand and a sharp eye, there are few similarly classed laser cannons that can out perform Kroneg's FL-Series. This versatile, high-yield weapon was constructed with newly designed compensators to deliver damage at long ranges.
- New FPS Weapon: Hedeby Salvo Frag Pistol.
- While the Salvo can be used as a normal pistol, Hedeby didn't stop there. With a longer trigger pull, a freezing primer is injected into the chamber and when released, the heavy firing pin hits with enough force to pulverize the supercooled casing. Accidentally developed as an attempt to mitigate overheating, this charged fire option discharges a deadly spray of high-velocity fragments followed by an ear-shattering boom. The Salva Frag Pistol can be purchased at Livefire at Port Olisar, HUR-L2, CRU-L1, Skutters, and Tammany and Sons.
- Added additional weapon sight attachments and updated some of the current ones.
- Additional Attachments: NV-TAC 1x Gamma Projection Optic, NV-TAC 2x Gamma Duo Projection Optic. Reworked: NV-TAC 3x Gamma Plus Projection Optic, NV-TAC 4x Telescopic Optic, NV-TAC 1x Delta Reflex Optic.
- FPS combat [[ will now prioritize targets based on distance, visibility, and incoming damage and should engage the player more aggressively.
- Added new chat group and party interaction functionality.
- Chat groups can now be created in the commlink app and will persist between sessions. Chat groups are cross server, so anyone in game will see text from that group regardless which server they are on. Additionally, players can invite their entire current party into a group or invite an entire group into an existing party.
- Added new barrel and under-barrel weapon attachments.
- New under-barrel attachments from ARMA including a flashlight, laser sight, suppressor, flash hider (hides muzzle flash), compensator (recoil reduction), and energy stabilizer (recoil reduction). Like other attachments, these can be found at shops that sell compatible firearms. Activate attachments with the "U" key. Note: Weapon descriptions give the compatible sizes for all available attachment slots.
- Flares can now be purchased at Conscientious Objects on Levski, Cubby Blast at Area18, Tammany & Son's at Lorville, and Live Fire at Port Olisar.
- Flares can be equipped to utility slots, manually activated with the "use" interaction, thrown, and held.
- Added high inventory armor, the MacFlex "Rucksack" Core, is now available at Conscientious Objects on Levski, Cubby Blast at Area18, and Tammany & Son's at Lorville.
- Arena Commander and the Persistent Universe now use separate ship databases.
- Arena Commander and the Persistent Universe now maintain separate ship and item databases. The status of your ship in the persistent universe, including fuel state, damage state, and whether it is destroyed or not will have no impact on your ship setup in Arena Commander. Loadout customization is also specific to each game mode and is no longer transferable. Rented items and ships in the Arena Commander customization menu will only be available in that mode and vice versa for purchased or rented items and ships in the persistent universe.
- Updated character customizer.
- The updated customer has been streamlined to create better flow. Players now start by selecting a gender and a base head.

Let me start by thanking High Representative Nakamitsu for her briefing.
Despite the regrettable lack of progress on this dossier overall, let me start by highlighting the few positives during Norway's soon 2-year tenure on the Security Council:
We applaud the important work undertaken by the OPCW’s Investigation and Identification Team and the Fact-Finding Mission amid the challenges posed by the global pandemic. In the past two years, we have seen them release several reports.
Norway will continue to support the OPCW’s important investigative efforts, which are crucial to ensuring accountability. It is positive that the IIT and FFM have continued to fulfil their engagement with the Syrian authorities, including the FFM’s most recent deployment of last month.
Norway also commends the Secretariat for continuing its bi-annual inspections of the Barzah and Jamrayah facilities, as mandated by this Council.
We further highlight the Tripartite Agreement between the OPCW, UNOPS, and Syria as another vital component of the Secretariat’s activities. We welcome the recent agreement on an extension.
However, it is with great disappointment that we have witnessed the breakdown in engagement between the Syrian authorities and the Declaration Assessment Team, due to persistent delays in the issuing of visas. This undermines the priority of ensuring consistent cooperation, exchanges of information, and technical assistance to Syria.
Norway again urges Syria to fully cooperate with the OPCW and provide sufficient technical information or explanations to close the 20 outstanding issues, which have remained outstanding for far too long. The Syrian Arab Republic must fulfil its obligations in accordance with the Chemical Weapons Convention and Security Council Resolution 2118.
This resolution explicitly mentions Syria’s obligation to: accept personnel designated by the OPCW; to provide these personnel with immediate and unfettered access; and the right to inspect any and all sites.
Norway also reiterates its call on Syria to complete the necessary measures to lift the suspension of its rights and privileges as a State Party to the Chemical Weapons Convention.
Let me close by underlining that accountability for those responsible for the use of chemical weapons must be ensured. Norway supports the work of Director-General Arias, the Technical Secretariat of the OPCW, and their commitment to ensuring that the international prohibition against the use of chemical weapons is upheld.
Norway strongly condemns any use of chemical weapons, under any circumstances, by anyone. It is an abhorrent crime, a violation of the Chemical Weapons Convention. One which should be addressed seriously by this Council. We will remain steadfast in our support to ensure accountability and prevent future use.

Thanks to all your responses over the past few days. A couple of people have asked me to write about the Kings Of Leon and Modest Mouse albums, both of which I have here. But to be honest, I’m not hugely keen on either (save the first track of the Kings album, “Knocked Up”, which is the best thing they’ve done by far). The point of Wild Mercury Sound, I guess, is simply to write about things I care for.
We get something like 800 new CDs a month sent to the Uncut office, so it seems a bit churlish to fixate on stuff I don’t like when I can easily find 20 or 30 gems to blog about each month. In the next few days, I’m planning to write about new albums by Wilco, Bright Eyes and Bill Callahan, plus some great reissues by Trees and the mighty Boredoms. Kings Of Leon fans, in the meantime, should have a look at the new issue of Uncut, which features an interview with the band by Bud Scoppa.
I’m advised that it’s bad blogging etiquette to turn a post into a trailer for the mag, so I won’t dwell too long on the new issue. But I do want to flag up the free CD. It’s called “Wake Up!”, it’s compiled by Stephen Trousse and Allan Jones, and I think it’s the best primer to New North American Indie that I’ve come across.
Amongst the big names like The Shins, TV On The Radio, The Decemberists and Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, I keep coming back to a song called “The Galaxist” by Deerhoof.
I first came across this San Francisco band a few years ago at All Tomorrow’s Parties when they were promoting “Milk Man”, a concept album about a malign milkman monster thing, and, if memory serves, the singer, Satomi Matsuzaki, was wearing a pair of shoes that looked like bananas. They’ve become one of those band’s bands over the last few years, obsessed over by Radiohead, Wilco, Flaming Lips – big bands on the vaguely leftfield edges of the mainstream, basically.
The album that “The Galaxist” comes from, “Friend Opportunity”, is out in a couple of weeks, and I reckon it may be their best yet. If I called it cutie-prog, that’d probably be offputting, but it combines fiendishly complex, endlessly mutating art-skronk with really childish and charming pop songs. Sometimes the two contrasting impulses clash and jar, probably on purpose. At other times, they come together beautifully: Kim Gordon’s friendlier moments fronting Sonic Youth – “Bull In The Heather”, maybe – come to mind. Give “Wake Up!” a listen, anyway, and let me know what you think.

Friends made its debut in September of 1994 on NBC and went on to become one of the most popular and beloved sitcoms on the network.
Throughout the 10 seasons of the show, fans watched Monica, Rachel, Ross, Phoebe, Chandler, and Joey navigate their careers, relationships, and, of course, friendships in New York City.
The show hasn’t aired for a very long time, and many people are curious as to what the cast of the iconic show is doing today. That’s what we’re going to find out in this article. Read on to find out what the Friends cast is doing now.
On the show, Jennifer Aniston played Rachel Green, and in season one, we knew her as the runaway bride that was obsessed with shopping, but as the season went on, we got to know her as so much more than that.
Not only did Rachel land a dream job at Ralph Lauren, but she also finally ended up with Ross, much to every viewer’s delight, in the series finale of the show.
It was a fantastic way to end off an incredible show, and we’re certain that the writers and directors were holding off on this relationship to give the show the closure it needed.
Rachel was undoubtedly one of the most loveable characters on the show, though they are all loved equally by their fans.
Now, Golden Globe winner Jennifer Aniston earned laughs in memorable films such as Horrible Bosses and has pursued more dramatic gigs, such as her performance in Cake.
You may be excited to know, if you didn’t already, that Aniston made her comeback to television with The Morning Show, a series exclusive to Apple TV+ that explores morning programming and the larger media scene of New York that they occupy.
If you have access to Apple TV+, then we highly recommend checking this show out.
At one point, the celebrated actress was also married to Justin Theroux and Brad Pitt (not at the same time, of course) – two very high-profile marriages indeed.
Other popular films that Aniston has starred in include We’re the Millers, Just Go With It, and Storks.
Monica Geller, who is portrayed by Courteney Cox in the show, is by far the most organized friend of the group. She won over viewers with her super-romantic proposal to Chandler, as well as her ceaseless neurotic antics.
While Monica’s cleanliness was always a source of frustration for her friends, they were always at her apartment when they weren’t at Central Perk. After she married Chandler, they adopted twins from a woman named Erica, who was played by Anna Faris.
In the finale of the series, Monica and Chandler moved out of their purple apartment to live in Westchester, outside of the city, so that they could raise their kids. We were definitely sad to see them go, but happy for their new life and family!
We couldn’t be less surprised that this Friends start went on to find even more success in her acting career. Not only was she a star in Cougar Town, which aired from 2009 to 2015, but she was also the director of a number of the show’s episodes, and she even directed her first feature film in 2014, called Just Before I Go.
You may have also seen the actress appear on popular TV shows like Modern Family, Shameless, and Drunk History. In 2014, she was engaged to Johnny McDaid, the guitarist for Snow Patrol, and who she met through Ed Sheeran of all people.
She and David Arquette have since divorced, but they’re still on good terms with one another, and they co-parent Coco, their daughter.
Ah, Ross Geller. We were always rooting for the paleontologist-turned-professor, who is played by David Schwimmer, even though we didn’t always agree with his decisions throughout the show’s 10-year runtime.
Ross was the father of a boy named Ben, whose mother was a woman by the name of Carol. He divorced her after he learned that she was a lesbian. He then went on to pursue another failed relationship with Emily, who he married in England after their hurricane of a relationship.
After Emily demanded that Ross cease all contact with Rachel, the two broke up because Ross refused to do so. The rest of the Friends cast wanted nothing but the best for Ross and always let him know when he was behaving… questionably.
After a matter of seconds in the film The People vs. O.J Simpson: American Crime Story, audiences all but forgot about David Schwimmer’s goofy character in Friends, thanks to his dramatic and enchanting portrayal of Robert Kardashian, the late defense attorney.
While off the screen, he married his current wife, British-born Zoe Buckman, and the two are raising a daughter together. You probably also recognize the actor’s voice as Melman, the hypochondriac giraffe from Madagascar.
In late 2018, the actor was in the headlines for his uncanny resemblance to a suspected criminal from Blackpool, and made a humorous parody video in response, in which he pretended to steal a crate of alcohol and pleading innocent.
Lisa Kudrow assumed the role of the ever-aloof Phoebe Buffay, and as such, was tasked with the burden of comic relief during some of the particularly dramatic moments in the show and, in the same breath, introduced us to one of the most beloved songs of the 90s, Smelly Cat.
On the show, Phoebe worked as a masseuse and, in her spare time, pursued her love for the guitar by playing at Central Perk. She also had a twin sister called Ursula, who was briefly in a relationship with Joey.
Fans of the show also fell in love with Phoebe for her fashion sense, bright, colorful outfits, and carefree attitude. We think Lisa did a fantastic job accurately portraying Phoebe’s character.
When she isn’t alongside Taylor Swift performing on stage, Lisa Kudrow spends her time refining her resume, which is already chock-full, including acting roles in Web Therapy, The Comeback, and The Girl on the Train.
Additionally, she voiced characters on The Boss Baby and BoJack Horseman and appeared on Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt as Lori-Anne Schmidt. More recently, she appeared alongside Steve Carell in Space Force, which is available for viewing on Netflix.
You may have also seen the actress on a number of episodes of Scandal, an ABC show in which she played Congresswoman Josephine Marcus.
In real life, she is married to Michael Stern, an advertising executive, and the two of them are raising a son together.
While Joey Tribbiani, Matt LeBlanc’s character in Friends, may have been something of a ladies’ man, his charm and iconic opening line, “How you doin’?”, made the aspiring actor much more lovable. He also had quite an obsession with food, specifically meatball sandwiches and pizza.
Joey managed to get himself into a number of sticky situations when it came to women, and especially when it came to his acting career, which he struggled to get off the ground.
The rest of the gang were constantly saving him from said situations, but that’s part of what made him such a great and likable character. We have to say that Matt LeBlanc was the perfect person to portray Joey in Friends.
Since Friends came to its end, Matt LeBlanc has enjoyed quite a successful career, earning a Golden Globe in 2013 for his role in Episodes, a comedy show on Showtime. After Friends, the actor also landed a spin-off show called Joey.
Unfortunately, the show did not experience the success of its predecessor and was ended after just two seasons. Still, those two seasons are very enjoyable to watch, and we recommend that Friends fans check them out. Since then, he has appeared on Lisa Kudrow’s Web Therapy.
From 2016 to 2019, the actor was also a presenter and co-host on the British car show Top Gear.
He is also now a father of one and is divorced from his ex-wife, Melissa.
Last, but most certainly not least, we arrive at Matthew Perry, who portrayed Chandler Bing in the show. Leave it to Chandler to deliver the punchline or a sarcastic remark, which never failed in making audiences laugh hysterically.
Not only did the character have us laughing non-stop, but he also made us coo whenever he shared a tender moment with Monica, with who he entered into a relationship during season 5. Chandler was initially afraid of commitment, but that all changed when he and Monica got together.
While all of the characters are lovable, he definitely has a special place in our hearts. While he wasn’t as much of a ladies’ man as Joey, he was still very charming and won over the ladies with ease.
During Friends, Perry became addicted to pain medicines, lost a shocking amount of weight, and checked into rehab in 1997. Since then, he has made efforts to focus on sobriety.
On the acting scene, Perry played in The Kennedys After Camelot as Ted Kennedy and also starred in Go On, The Odd Couple, and Mr. Sunshine. In February of 2020, he became the last cast member to join Instagram, much to the delight of his fans and co-stars.
As of November 2020, Perry is engaged to literary manager, Molly Hurwitz. The two started dating in December 2019.
There you have it! The cast of Friends, and what they’re doing today. We hope that you enjoyed reading this article, and that you learned something new about these iconic actors and actresses.

A legal hackathon is to be held north of the border as part of a push to stimulate lawtech innovation among Scottish law firms and promote the use of technology in improving access to justice.
The Law Society of Scotland (LSS) will back the 48-hour weekend event on 17-19 June. Unlike recent hackathons held in London at the Ministry of Justice  and for the benefit of Hackney Law Centre , the organisers will post general challenges to the ‘hackers’ – computer coders – and seek to engage lawyers and law firms rather than solve particular organisational problems.
Two broad challenges will be presented in the hope that technological solutions emerge, such as mobile phone or computer apps. They are: improve access to legal information for young people, and provide technology to “help people navigate legal processes and documents, such as small claims actions”.
LSS access to justice committee member Arlene McDaid, who recently founded the Scottish chapter of the global Legal Hackers movement, said that while the two London hackathons were seeking “quite specific” solutions, the event would be “more of an open one to find solutions that will benefit everyone not just a certain organisation”.
Ms McDaid said that unlike England and Wales – which has the interim report by Lord Justice Briggs  on an online court, Scotland lacked “the same drive to put the law online”. The hackathon was aimed at encouraging the Scottish legal profession to “engage in how we can harness technology to improve access to justice and also to highlight the fact that all those entrepreneurs sitting in firms can really make a contribution here”.
She hoped lawyers and technology specialists within law firms would join in. “All the hacks I’ve been to in the legal scene have been quite low in lawyer participation… More and more firms are innovating in terms of their own services in the UK, and we have a little bit of that going on in Scotland, but not as much as… elsewhere.”
She added: “The hackathon provides a unique opportunity for lawyers to collaborate with a diverse group of individuals and crowdsource innovative solutions to pressing access to justice issues.”
In a statement, the LSS described the hackathon as “a pop-up innovation lab for lawyers, designers, technologists and others to collaborate and design sustainable and scalable solutions that alleviate pressing access to justice issues”.
The winners will receive £2,000 and there are runners-up prizes of £1,000 and tickets for HackTrain 3.0 – a mobile conference aimed at innovation in travel, to be held on board a train.

Sam's Club chicken salad kits recalled for possible listeria
Updated 5:17 pm, Friday, August 22, 2014
A California food manufacturer has recalled chicken Caesar salad kits sold at Sam's Club stores for possible listeria contamination, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Food Safety and Inspection Service.
The salad kits, which contain fully cooked chicken, were shipped nationwide to the warehouse store for sale in its in-store cafes, the USDA said. They were manufactured by APPA Fine Foods of Corona (Riverside County).
The company recalled 11-ounce, clear plastic containers and 6.5-pound boxes labeled, "APPA Fine Foods/Sam's Club Daily Chef Chicken Caesar Salad Kit" with case codes 141851, 141922, 141951, 141991, 142021, 142201 or 142131 with use by dates of Aug. 21, Aug 27, Sept. 1, Sept. 3 or Sept. 17, 2014.

Michigan health officials confirmed two instances of listeria contamination in products purchased at the chain warehouse's locations, the USDA said. Tests found contamination in only the chicken.
Food safety officials have received no reports of anyone getting sick from eating the salads. Eating food contaminated with the listeria bacterium can cause listeriosis, a serious infection that mainly affects older adults, people with weakened immune systems and pregnant women and newborns.
Symptoms include fever, muscle aches, headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance and convulsions sometimes preceded by diarrhea or other gastrointestinal symptoms. A serious infection can spread beyond the gastrointestinal tract.
Anyone with questions about the recall can call Thom Rindt of APPA Fine Foods at (951) 547-8111.

Here at Great Western Studios we have rearranged and planted our little courtyard garden as part of Chelsea Fringe. Using basic materials – cattle troughs, 8ft canes, water and lead work – we have created a vertical garden – or Jenga garden because it reminds us of the childrens’ game. We were lucky to have some Emily Young sculptures ‘just lying around’ which we have incorporated. Designed and made by myself and Danny Wootton of Wootton & Dawe the overall effect is oddly charming and peaceful. It’s open to the public this weekend and over the next month or so by appointment, do come and see it!

Picayune Man Arrested on Child Exploitation, Molestation Charges
A 20-year-old man is behind bars for allegedly creating, distributing, and downloading child pornography, among other charges, announced Attorney General Jim Hood.
Shyheam Griffin was arrested at his Picayune home Thursday by investigators with the AG’s Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force and booked in the Picayune Police Department. He was charged with three counts of child exploitation—one for possession of child pornography, one for distribution of child pornography, and one for production of child pornography. He was also charged with two counts of child molestation, and three counts of child neglect.
If convicted on the exploitation and molestation charges, Griffin faces up to 180 years in prison. The misdemeanor child neglect charges will be prosecuted by the district attorney. A charge is merely an accusation, and a defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
Assisting agencies include the Pearl River County Sheriff’s Office and Picayune Police Department, which are both affiliate agencies of the Mississippi ICAC Task Force, Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), Mississippi Department of Human Services, Picayune Housing Authority, McKinney, TX Police Department and Collin County, TX District Attorney’s Office.
This case was investigated by Eric Rather and will be prosecuted by Special Assistant Attorney General Brandon Ogburn, both with the AG’s Cybercrime Division.
A total of 163 people have been convicted of child exploitation crimes to date by General Hood’s ICAC Task Force.

Written for The Middletown Press by Jason Siedzik: Thursday, February 17, 2011
MIDDLETOWN – One factor in Malloves Jewelers’ sense of community involvement is giving back to those in need. The company gave some of their inventory to help feed Middletown families as a silent auction of several pieces of jewelry raised just over $5,000 for Amazing Grace Food Pantry.
Malloves president Marc Levin presented St. Vincent DePaul director Ron Krom Wednesday morning with the oversized check. “We’re very community-oriented,” Levin said, “and we try to do a lot of things locally.”
Most of Amazing Grace’s funds come from private donations, be they from individuals, businesses or religious groups. Only $30,000 of the pantry’s $180,000 annual budget is covered by city or federal funds. Although the bulk of the pantry’s food comes from the food bank system, Krom said they also accept donations from businesses, churches or synagogues, and “all types of people.”
“We’re really a community food pantry,” Krom said.
The monetary donation comes in handy in light of Amazing Grace’s recent move to a larger facility at 16 Stack Street. While the new building stores about the same amount of food as their old headquarters, stock is much more organized in the new building than in the past.
Amazing Grace, according to Krom, operates on local donations and only serves Middletown residents. Although they do receive donations from outside of the city, the food pantry will direct anyone in need of their services to a more appropriate location.
Amazing Grace’s usage has increased in recent years, thanks to the decision to open on Saturdays. Krom estimates that demand has increased approximately 25 percent since opening Saturdays – the pantry is open Monday, Wednesday and Friday afternoons – but said that their services are limited by supply.
“There’s times of plenty,” said Krom, “but also times of scarcity.”
Malloves’s donation only continues what has been a positive relationship between the Main Street fixture and the food pantry. Levin said that the store held a silent auction two years ago as a fundraiser, repeating it to benefit what they saw as a good cause; as Malloves’s president said, “that’s a lot of food they give to people.”
“Ron needs this the most, economically,” Levin said. “If it’s $5 or $50, he appreciates whatever people can give.”
