Alicia Keys, 50 Cent, Akon, Ciara, T-Pain, Fat Joe and Earth Wind and Fire are just some of the American artists who are in Nigeria (Africa) for the THISDAY Music Festival Peace concert.
The concert will be held in six Nigerian cities between Friday, December 18 and Sunday, December 20. The performing artists will be expected to motivate the crowd on the peace theme of the concert by reminding them that peace is a precondition for development and progress in any society.
The bold statement made by the American hip hop and RnB artists attending the music festival in support of peace and development of Africa is commendable and will bring much needed attention to the ills of the Nigerian Delta region.
Nigerian music fans will enjoy an experience of a lifetime whilst being motivated to stand up for peace and change.

L.A. Guns Announce a New Album Black Diamonds and Release Its First Single, “You Betray”
L.A. Guns — no, not Riley’s L.A. Guns — are putting out some new jams in the coming months and today we got our first taste with the release of their newest single and accompanying lyric video, “You Betray.” Along with the new song, which you can check out below, the band also revealed that their 14th studio effort, titled Black Diamonds, will be released on April 14.
According to the band, the album was written and recorded all last year, with founding member and guitarist Tracii Guns handling production. They also describe the new record as a continuation of “the same successful and inspiring sonic journey that they’ve been taking on their most recent albums, Checkered Past, The Devil You Know, and The Missing Peace.”
As you may or may not know, recent releases from L.A. Guns have taken on a more hard rock approach, which they say they’re not shying away from with Black Diamonds, though they intend to include “more introspective acoustic tracks reflective of their classic rock influences from the ’70s” with this release.
So check out the new track and let us know in the comments what you think. If it’s your jam, you can preorder Black Diamonds today to ensure you get it on or near release day, April 14.
‘Black Diamonds‘ Track List:
1. You Betray
2. Wrong About You
6. Shattered Glass
7. Gonna Lose
8. Got It Wrong
11. Like A Drug

Dublin, Feb. 22, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Wholesale Global Market Report 2021: COVID-19 Impact and Recovery to 2030" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
This report provides strategists, marketers and senior management with the critical information they need to assess the global wholesale market as it emerges from the COVID-19 shut down.
The global wholesale market is expected to grow from $45025.1 billion in 2020 to $49371.76 billion in 2021 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.7%. The growth is mainly due to the companies rearranging their operations and recovering from the COVID-19 impact, which had earlier led to restrictive containment measures involving social distancing, remote working, and the closure of commercial activities that resulted in operational challenges. The market is expected to reach $64334.41 billion in 2025 at a CAGR of 7%.
Reasons to Purchase

Where is the largest and fastest growing market for the wholesale? How does the market relate to the overall economy, demography and other similar markets? What forces will shape the market going forward? The Wholesale market global report answers all these questions and many more.
The report covers market characteristics, size and growth, segmentation, regional and country breakdowns, competitive landscape, market shares, trends and strategies for this market. It traces the market's historic and forecast market growth by geography. It places the market within the context of the wider wholesale market, and compares it with other markets.
The market characteristics section of the report defines and explains the market.
The market size section gives the market size ($b) covering both the historic growth of the market, the impact of the COVID-19 virus and forecasting its recovery.
Market segmentations break down market into sub markets.
The regional and country breakdowns section gives an analysis of the market in each geography and the size of the market by geography and compares their historic and forecast growth. It covers the impact and recovery trajectory of COVID-19 for all regions, key developed countries and major emerging markets.
Competitive landscape gives a description of the competitive nature of the market, market shares, and a description of the leading companies. Key financial deals which have shaped the market in recent years are identified.
The trends and strategies section analyses the shape of the market as it emerges from the crisis and suggests how companies can grow as the market recovers.
The wholesale market section of the report gives context. It compares the wholesale market with other segments of the retail and wholesale market by size and growth, historic and forecast. It analyses GDP proportion, expenditure per capita, wholesale indicators comparison.
Asia Pacific was the largest region in the global wholesale market, accounting for 51% of the market in 2020. North America was the second largest region accounting for 16% of the global wholesale market. Middle East was the smallest region in the global wholesale market.
The use of analytics in the wholesale trade market is enhancing supply chain efficiencies by anticipating future demand of the customer. Predictive analytics uses historic data to predict future events. Some of the applications where wholesale trade companies use predictive analytics are to project profitability, model business scenarios and improve marketing campaigns. For instance, HD Smith, a pharmaceutical wholesale distributor, implemented analytics to streamline their operations, manage their inventory and perform profitability analysis.
The outbreak of Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has acted as a massive restraint on the wholesale market in 2020 as supply chains were disrupted due to trade restrictions and consumption declined due to lockdowns imposed by governments globally. COVID 19 is an infectious disease with flu-like symptoms including fever, cough, and difficulty in breathing. The virus was first identified in 2019 in Wuhan, Hubei province of the People's Republic of China and spread globally including Western Europe, North America and Asia. Steps by national governments to contain the transmission have resulted in decline in manufacture and trade of non-essential goods and an overall decline in economic activity with countries entering a state of 'lock down' and the outbreak is expected to continue to have a negative impact on businesses throughout 2020 and into 2021. However, it is expected that the wholesale market will recover from the shock across the forecast period as it is a 'black swan' event and not related to ongoing or fundamental weaknesses in the market or the global economy.
The wholesale market is expected to benefit from steady economic growth forecasted for many developed and developing countries. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) predicts that the global GDP growth will be 3.3% in 2020 and 3.4% in 2021. Recovering commodity prices, after a decline in the historic period is further expected to be a significant factor driving economic growth. The US economy is expected to register stable growth during the forecast period. Additionally, emerging markets are expected to continue to grow slightly faster than the developed markets in the forecast period. Greater economic growth is likely to drive public and private investments, joint ventures, foreign direct investments in the end-user markets, thereby driving the market during forecast period.

A few of my favorite Smart indoor home security cameras below I highlighted in order to guide your decision.

The $20 Wyze Cam v3 offers a killer value in an ocean of expensive security cameras. Couple that up with its simple application, easy installation, and strong performance — and our favorite indoor camera with this excellent home safety camera (and weatherproof, so you can use it outside as well).
Moreover, it’s a free two-week cloud storage and built-in MicroSD card slot for local storage that separates this safe camera. You got to buy one microSD card yourself, but the whole standard one works with local storage on many machines.

Netatmo Smart indoor camera is one of a number of indoor security cameras that use HomeKit Safe Video, formerly known as the Netatmo welcome. HomeKit Secure Video is an iOS-only-Home app service. It offers a free video history, 10 days, which is stored in iCloud.
Few security cameras are more providing free cloud storage — and fewer are offering 10 full days of free cloud storage. Wyze is an exception for two weeks of free storage of this indoor security camera, which is one reason why this is my favorite indoor camera today.
Netatmo’s Smart Indoor Camera has 1080p HD live streaming, 130degree viewing, night vision, and local microSD storage. This security camera can also be facially recognized if you create a family and friends database.

‘I Relied Upon My Faith,’ George W. Bush Tells Jay Leno
Mark Memmott on November 20th, 2013
Making a relatively rare appearance on national TV, former President George W. Bush told Tonight Show host Jay Leno on Tuesday’s show that “I relied upon my faith, my family helped a lot and I had a good team around me” while in the White House.
Bush also repeated some things he’s said before — that he doesn’t miss being president and that he’ll leave it up to history to judge his performance.
The nation’s 43rd president also had some funny moments: “You look much more relaxed” now, Leno told him. “No kidding … duh!” Bush said with a laugh and a comical look on his face.
The show has posted several clips on its YouTube page. We’ll embed one that includes some of the serious and not-so-serious parts of the discussion.
Since leaving office, Bush has taken up painting. He gave Leno a portrait he’s done of the Tonight Show host.

Imagine you’re a Grinnell student entering the Humanities and Social Studies Center, searching for a study area to prepare for final exams. An abundance of natural light greets you without an overwhelmingly intense glare. And, despite the groups of students collaborating in study rooms and lounge areas, the environment is surprisingly quiet thanks to sound-absorbing materials. The wide corridors and clear sight lines create a sense of openness, allowing you to effortlessly find your way while offering adequate space for busy students to navigate the active common spaces. The first floor is full, so you take a conveniently located elevator to continue your search for an available study space on another level.
Partnering with the Institute for Human Centered Design, at Grinnell, Page challenged ourselves to go beyond responding to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements and move toward designing for the broadest possible spectrum of users.
In 1990 the US Congress passed ADA to end discrimination and guarantee equal opportunities for people with disabilities. Think about ramps, elevators, wide hallways, and easy-to-read signs – all of these are part of ADA guidelines, and all are focused on making the world more inclusive, one building at a time.
Although ADA regulations have transformed building design, these guidelines are just a starting point in designing for the broadest spectrum of society. With 56 million Americans with disabilities – one of the largest minority groups – architects and designers need to recognize their role in shaping a more equitable landscape.
A Long History
What would the world look like if every facility prioritized inclusivity and equity? A Page team, unofficially dubbed the Inclusive Design Think Tank, joined forces to consider this question. Devoted to making inclusive design a priority, the group is educating project teams on approaches for designing the built environment to make all lives better.
And we’ve been thinking this way for a long time! In 1994, Gallaudet University – an institution devoted exclusively to educating the deaf and hard of hearing – and Page designed the world’s first conference center for the hearing-impaired, the Kellogg Conference Center.
True to our client-first culture, two Page architects lived on campus for two weeks to better understand the community, developing an appreciation for the importance of lighting, color, and motion for the deaf. This perspective influenced design decisions, leading to brighter illumination so sign language could be easily observed, muted colors to encourage interpersonal communication, and a fountain in the lobby to offer visually engaging motion.
Fast forward to present day, Page designed the Austin Independent School District to serve 100 learners from across the school district with diverse, overlapping, and significant special needs.
A More Inclusive Future
The thoughtful integration of landscape and architectural elements, such as distance between stairs and elevators, plays a significant role in inclusive design. By providing accessible routes and minimizing physical barriers, these spaces ensure that individuals with mobility challenges or those using assistive devices can navigate seamlessly. Wider pathways, gently sloping walkways in lieu of ramps, and strategically placed elevators all contribute to a more inclusive design. While these considerations are common to many facilities, intentional and innovative approaches to lighting, acoustics, and all-gender spaces are more modern paths towards creating accessible spaces.
Glare from sunlight or artificial lighting can be visually disruptive and uncomfortable for many individuals, particularly those with sensitive eyes, permanent vision impairments, or a neurological disorder. Proper lighting placement and window treatments minimize glare and offer relief and comfort for users. Additionally, dimmable lighting allows users to adjust the intensity according to their needs, creating a customizable environment for diverse users. For example, in healthcare facilities adjustable lighting can provide patients with a soothing and calm atmosphere.
Sensitive approaches to acoustics can also play a pivotal role in equitable designs. By incorporating sound-absorbing materials, strategic room layouts, and controlling noise sources, designers can provide environments where conversations, presentations, and other activities are enjoyed without excessive reverberation. Additionally, technology that automates real-time captions can be employed in large lecture halls or conference rooms for people who are hard of hearing or deaf, so they don’t miss a word.
Inclusive restroom designs go beyond just functional considerations; it aims to create spaces that embrace diversity, promote comfort, and respect the needs of all individuals. ADA regulations require grab bars, handicap-accessible stalls, and infant changing stations, but reimagining restrooms to create all-gender spaces fosters a more equitable environment. For example, designing single-stall all-gender restrooms or expanding multi-stall partitions can increase privacy and create inclusive options.
Inclusive design is an ongoing conversation; we continuously reevaluate a building’ s usability based on evolving standards. Page’s Inclusive Design Think Tank has a lofty goal of considering a broad spectrum of users to help encourage designs to be constructed to cater to each person.

Food can be both irresistible and satisfying. The new horror-comedy “The Menu,” uses that allure to trap privileged diners at a high-end banquet, the actor John Leguizamo said in an interview with NBC News.
“I loved the clever writing, the beautiful poetry about food, and then obviously the beautiful execution of the food,” he said. “But that’s just a bait and a lure to sucker the audience in. And then it becomes this terrifying horror thriller about who’s going to perish and who’s not going to perish.”
Leguizamo plays an actor who has fallen out of the spotlight. And together with 10 other guests, he will put his palate, and ultimately his life, in the hands of world-class chef Julian Slowik, played by Ralph Fiennes.
These guests are invited to an exclusive destination restaurant on a remote island. But their high-dining experience will come at a deadly price. And as the film raises the stakes for these fine diners, viewers may be prompted to ask: How much are you willing to pay for a good meal?
While “The Menu” stresses how food can connect and disconnect people, Leguizamo says it also mocks class tensions between the haves (the guests) and the have-nots (the restaurant staff), pitting them against each other in a dining room.
“The movie is satirizing what’s going on in the world and in America right now,” Leguizamo said, “where the rich, the billionaires, corporations are ruling and taking over our politics, our social media, controlling everything, and we have to fight against it. We have to come out as truth to power.”
In the movie, the guests were handpicked by Slowik and are parodies of a ruling class: three tech bros, an out-of-touch wealthy couple, an elitist food critic and her editor, a self-centered food aficionado and his last-minute date, and a fading actor (Leguizamo) with his assistant.
Beyond these ruling class stereotypes, however, Leguizamo said he’s proud that “The Menu” puts the spotlight on Latino actors in a different way.
“What I liked about the film is that the Latin people weren’t in the kitchen as per usual. We were being served,” he said.
“The Menu” features four actors with connections to Hispanic culture and heritage in starring roles that are outside of the kitchen.
Leguizamo was born in Colombia and raised in Jackson Heights, New York. Aimee Carrero, who was born in the Dominican Republic and raised in Miami, plays his assistant. Arturo Castro, who was born in Guatemala and later moved to New York, plays one of the tech bros. And Anya Taylor-Joy, who plays the last-minute date for the food aficionado (played by Nicholas Hoult), is the daughter of an Argentine of English and Scottish descent, and her maternal grandmother is from Barcelona.
When asked about horror movies, Leguizamo said that the genre can open doors to tell powerful stories about Latino identity. He pointed out that one of the master filmmakers in the genre was Cuban — George Romero made the 1968 black-and-white zombie classic, “Night of the Living Dead.”
Leguizamo also compared “The Menu” with “The Exterminating Angel,” a 1962 Mexican surrealist film directed by award-winning Spanish filmmaker Luis Buñuel, in which a group of affluent guests are unable to leave an extravagant dinner party.
Outside of the film, food is nurturing and empowering, Leguizamo said.
“Food is everything in a Latin family. And the more people, the better the food tastes,” he said. “My mom’s always over-serving and then she has the homemade Latin Tupperware, which is just whatever plastic receptacle your food came in. She’s always sending people with bags full of extra food.”
Over the last four decades, Leguizamo remembers family Christmas menus packed with Latino flavor: arroz con gandules (rice with pigeon beans); pernil (slow-cooked roast pork); pollo al horno (baked chicken); plátanos maduros (ripe plantains); ensalada de aguacate (avocado salad); habichuelas (beans); and tostones (green plantains).
Lately Leguizamo has been busy traveling across the country and doing a deep dive into the culture — including the iconic foods and restaurants — of several U.S. cities as part of his upcoming documentary series, “Leguizamo Does America.” The series takes viewers on a tour of the places and people that make several American cities — like Miami, Chicago and L.A. — distinctly Latino.
The six-part series, produced by NBC News studios, is scheduled for April 2023 on MSNBC. (NBC News Studios and MSNBC along with NBCNews.com are part of Comcast’s NBCUniversal.)

Landover, Maryland-based Giant Food has launched Giant Delivers. Formerly known as Peapod by Giant, the new Giant Delivers brand refresh is part of Giant Food’s “The Little Things Are Giant” platform which focuses on helping customers save time. Whether filling their virtual cart via web or mobile app, next-day home delivery from Giant Delivers is now available to more than 6 million shoppers living in more than 300 zip codes across the Delaware-Maryland-Virginia area.
Giant Delivers has recently begun same-day delivery within the downtown D.C. area. The grocer also announced Giant Pickup earlier this year which allows customers to place their grocery orders online and pick them up in as little as four hours at their local Giant without ever leaving their cars. Pickup is available at more than 65 locations today, with a total 100 locations to open in Washington, D.C., Maryland, Virginia and Delaware by the end of the year.
“Giant has been the trusted neighborhood grocery store for over 80 years, and we are continually looking for new ways to serve our community’s evolving needs and shopping preferences,” said Ira Kress, interim president of Giant Food. “Building out our e-commerce services, including Giant Delivers and Giant Pickup, lets us truly put the ‘solution’ in meal solutions. We handle the picking and packing, delivering straight to car or doorstep, giving our shoppers that extra helping hand they need.”
Existing Peapod by Giant customers will not experience any interruption of service, with the digital shopping transitioning to an integrated experience later this year. Giant Delivers is available without commitment or subscription and offers customers the option to sign up anytime for unlimited deliveries for a one-time annual fee of $99, making weekly grocery delivery orders more convenient and affordable than ever.
New convenient features from Giant Food that will be offered through the Giant Delivers and Giant Pickup services include an expanded assortment with hundreds of new items, such as plant-based foods as well as unique global offerings.
Giant Delivers offers more than 20 meal kit solutions, an increasingly popular option for families with pre-measured, pre-cut and pre-washed fresh ingredients for a home-cooked meal without all the prep time. The meal kits can be added to customers’ shopping carts along with all other items with no subscription or commitment plan. Many of the meal kits cost less than $5 per serving.

Both domestic and foreign investors are focused on long-term growth in India than just the market, says Sanjay Shah, Co-Country Head & Co-Head of Indian Equity Business. Morgan Stanley.
Sanjay Shah, Co-Country Head & Co-Head of Indian Equity Business, Morgan Stanley speaking to CNBC-TV18 from the sideline of the conference said although the market may witness volatility in the near-term, the long-term India story still remains very strong.
The focus of the conference, he says has been more on the long-term growth than just the market per se. With the government trying to put the building blocks for long-term sustainable growth, it makes for an exciting story and that is what both the domestic and international investors are focused on.
The volatility likely to be witnessed in the near-term could be because of an unusual and synchronized rise in global equities, bonds, gold and even bitcoins.
The risk or challenge if any for the Indian market could be from a global perspective because currently volatility is low everywhere. Second could be implementation of GST which could cause short-term disruption, says Shah. Also the valuations are not cheap but against the background of broader market revenue growth starting to accelerate, people are willing to take that in their stride, says Shah.
However, he says FIIs are willing to put more money into India but the supply of paper is less. “The amount of money that we can absorb in the country depends on our ability to increase the market cap and float in the market – that requires more paper into the market, more IPOs, more sponsor selling to happen.”
Talking about yesterday’s RBI monetary policy and the rate hike trajectory for India, he says with the US Federal Reserve likely to raise rates two times this year and another four rate hikes in 2018 -- against that backdrop it is unlikely that RBI will cut rates. In fact, it is more likely that they would raise rates in the second half of 2018. This is also driven by the fact that the economy is stabilising and growth is likely to gather more momentum.
However, he does not think rate hikes by RBI will be deterrent to growth because the economy is entering into a sweet spot where the corporate performance and growth is seen improving.
Below is the verbatim transcript of the interview.
Q: What did you make of the RBI policy?
A: In terms of the inflation outlook, it is more or less in-line with our expectation because we did not expect and we don’t expect the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to cut. I think the core inflation does remain a little bit sticky and that obviously to the RBI is not a concern.
More importantly I think we have to read between the lines. The focus on trying to reduce SLR on a consistent basis and selective relaxation for example risk weights in mortgage finance and the loan to finance ratio does indicate that there are areas and pockets in which the RBI and the government need to focus and want to focus and that is something that we need to take away.
Q: At the house level do you expect any rate cuts by the end of this year?
A: I think just to take a step back, our view is that we will have two more rate hikes in the US this year and another four rates hikes.
Q: In 2018?
A: In 2018. Against that backdrop, we don’t expect the RBI to cut rates. If anything, at some point in the second half of 2018 we would expect an increase in rates partly also driven by the fact that economy is stabilising and we should see the economic growth gather more momentum.
We don’t think that is going to be deterrent growth though because I think we are entering into a more or less a sweet spot in the economy where even corporate performance is improving, the growth is improving. So, we believe that it will be more of a rate increase next year than anything else.
Q: Coming to the conference now, I spoke to your colleagues as well over the last two days, whether it is Ridham Desai, Jonathan Garner, Chetan Ahya, and everybody seems to be bullish on India. You talk to a lot of your foreign institutional investor (FII) clients, is that a view shared by your clients as well?
A: Strangely we have not really spoken too much about the market this time. I think the entire focus of the conference this year was to take the narrative away from near term views and focus on the markets to the longer term story. I think that is what we have been trying to do over the last two or three years because what the Modi government is trying to do is put in place the building blocks for a more longer term sustainable growth and against the face of that I think we are going to continue to see some cycles in the market, ups and downs, but when you really think about what they are trying to do, it makes for a very exciting story.
I think that is what the investors are focusing on and that has really been the content of the conference, actually been the focus of the conference. Near term there could be volatility because I think we are seeing a very unusual and a very synchronous rise in global bonds, global equities, and even gold and last but not the least even bitcoins. So, I think this is a little bit unusual when you have such a global synchronous rally in number of other asset classes with volatility remaining low and that does cause you to be a little bit concerned. However, the leave the near term consensus aside, the longer term story continues to remain very strong.
Q: I believe which is why Ridham Desai believes in next five years India can have 3x return in terms of Nifty. That has probably been said a lot in the last couple of days. From an India point of view, market is at all-time highs, lows have been pretty strong, India has outperformed emerging market (EM) as well since the beginning of the year. Is that a sense that you get from your clients as well because I believe this year even the FII participation has gone up as far as your conference is concerned. So, generally what has been the mood within the FIIs and how much they are looking to put more money into India at work?
A: People would love to put more money into India, it is just that we don’t supply of paper. India is in this unique situation and we have spoken about it a few times in the last two years that the amount of paper or rather the amount of money we can absorb in the country depends upon our ability to increase the market cap and the float in the market and that requires more paper to be put into the market, more IPOs to come, more sponsored selling to happen.
So, I think we are in a very unique situation. Also, the boardroom discussions on India, amongst the FIIs, have moved away from country fund or just country dedicated money to larger emerging market and global fund exposure. So it is in some ways in the big boys club say to speak and if you are able to get the paper into the market and increase the float, I think you can keep on getting more and more money.
Q: That has been a bit of a trend, right? You have seen since the beginning of the year, large blocks, large QIPs happening, even as we speak, today we are going to hear a big block in Petronet of 10 percent getting sold. I am told even there, there is a lot of FII appetite to buy into that block. So, in that sense, some bit of paper is coming for sure. Do you think that paper supply is only going to increase from here?
A: In terms of more sponsor selling, it is happening, in terms of follow on, it is happening, in terms of consolidation in the market through M&A, that is all happening. I think what we need to see is a lot of this unlisted companies in the private sector, small, big, mid-sized and we are seeing some trend of that more and more of that to come to the market get listed because equity market can offer enormous opportunity and currency, an instrument for these companies to grow. It is happening at a slow pace and hopefully that will pick up.
Q: Since you talk to a lot of your FII clients as well as domestic clients, what are the key risks that they have in mind at this point in time? I know valuations are rich, I know people are talking about geopolitical risk as well, to your mind, in your interactions what are the few things that they have discussed with you seems to be the key risk for India?
A: A large part of the risk comes from the global developments to be honest. As you said, geopolitics and the fact that per se geopolitics would not have been such big risk, had it not been for the fact that the volatility all around the world is so low. So, it seems that it is not being priced in, and that can cause some upheaval in the market, not just in India, but everywhere else at some point in time. So I think that is one challenge, if not a risk.The other near term challenge is the execution of goods and services tax (GST) and that can cause some short term disruption in the inventory cycle and the management, but I think almost everyone in the conference seems to be aware of it and if everyone is aware of it especially after the demonetisation period, this might prove to be a lesser risk than what we think of at this point in time. Lastly, a little bit on the valuations, they are not cheap, but against the background of broader market revenue growth starting to accelerate, I think people are willing to take that in the stride.

The head of the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will appear on a CNN town-hall broadcast Thursday evening, ending a short stand-off between the White House and the cable-news outlet over its recent coverage of the Trump administration’s daily coronavirus briefings.
CNN said Thursday afternoon that CDC Director Dr. Robert Redfield had been booked for the town hall and that Dr. Robert Fauci, the nation’s top infectious-diseases expert, was slated to appear Friday on “New Day.”
CNN had been told earlier Thursday by a spokesman for Vice President Michael Pence that it could not have access to top government health officials grappling with the nation’s coronavirus pandemic unless it televised specific portions of the Trump Administration’s daily briefings on the spread of the disease.
“When you guys cover the briefings with the health officials then you can expect them back on your air,” a Pence spokesperson told CNN, according to a report posted Thursday.
The administration briefings have become a hot topic among news critics, because President Trump often uses the forum to spread misinformation or brag about accomplishments. Several pundits have called for the news networks to stop televising the events, and several of them have taken to cutting away from the briefings depending upon the person talking and the details being discussed.
CNN and the Trump White House have squabbled almost continuously since the 2016 election, with Trump often calling out its reporters during briefings and rallies.

Human interactions within the ecosystem may have a positive impact on biodiversity such as conservation or a negative affect such as eutrophication. Negative effects include reduced populations, reduced biodiversity or extinction.
As the human population increases, we need more food and increased use of fertilisers has impacted on the biodiversity of aquatic environments through eutrophication. Nitrates in the fertilisers run off from fields into rivers and lakes causing the overgrowth of algae. The light is blocked so plants cannot photosynthesise so they die. This causes bacteria to decompose the plants and use up most of the oxygen in the water. Without oxygen, animals such as fish will die. This is a negative impact as the biodiversity of the river or lake will decrease.
Fish are farmed in large nets or tanks within lakes or in the sea.
Farm waste, chemicals, pathogens and parasites are released into the surrounding water, harming other marine life.
Carnivorous species of farmed fish, such as salmon, need high amounts of protein in their diet. They are often fed on wild fish, reducing their populations.
Sometimes fish can escape and compete with indigenous wild species and compete for resources, resulting in reduced biodiversity. Predators of the fish such as sea lions can become trapped in the nets and die.
A non-indigenous species does not live in an area and may be introduced by humans for a particular purpose such as removal of pest species or for hunting. However, the new species may out-compete or kill indigenous or naturally occurring species. These may be reduced in number, resulting in reduced biodiversity or maybe extinction.
One example is the introduction of cane toads to Australia.
Cane toads are native to South and Middle America but were introduced into Australia in the 1930s to control pests that ate sugar cane, an important crop.
Since their release, the toad population has grown to over 200 million and spread across the country. They have several impacts on biodiversity:

Girls basketball: NM's Francis lights up Cowboys for 31
The Sun Staff
Leah Francis, a 5-foot-7 junior forward, equalled her career high of 31 points Tuesday night to lead North Mason to a 66-40 rout of visiting Chimacum.
Francis scored 31 points earlier this season in a non-league win over Yelm.
"She was pretty on target," said NM coach Shelly Kealy. "I don't know her exact shooting stats, but I'm sure she was over 50 percent."
>b At North Mason 66, Chimacum 40 -- Francis made 15 field goals, and also pulled nine rebounds and had nine steals to just miss a triple-double. Once Kealy goes back over the video, Francis may have her $riple-double.
"There's always a couple things you miss," Kealy noted.
Francis has started three years for the Bulldogs. In her freshman season she averaged 8.3 points and last year scored 319 points while averaging 17.7. She missed four games last season because of an injury.
This season, Francis has 288 points for the 9-5 Bulldogs (5-2 in the Nisqually League) for a 20.6 average -- tops among West Sound girls.
For her career, she has scored 772 points and is closing in on the West Sound all-time career top-10 scoring list.
In Tuesday night's game, Francis had 19 points by halftime and 27 through three quarters. She didn't play much the final quarter as NM reserves saw most of the action.
Terra Holmgren, who added nine points for the Bulldogs, had seven assists and played an excellent allaround game, according to Kealy.
The Bulldogs play at Port Townsend Friday.
>b Sequim 57, at Olympic 45 -- The Wolves' half-court defensive pressure paid dividends during a decisive third quarter.
"We turned the ball over six or seven times in a row," said Olympic assistant coach Mike McCorkle. "That was pretty much the difference in the ballgame."
The game had been rescheduled from Saturday night because of snow. It left the Trojans 2-1 in Olympic League play and 6-7 on the season going into Thursday night's league home game against Central Kitsap.
Danetta Laguna led Olympic with 14 points while Meaghan Jowdy added 11.
Sequim's Allyson Keith led all scorers with 15 while Mickie Knapp added 13.
At Foster 77, Port Townsend 30 -- As if playing the powerful Bulldogs on their home court wasn't challenge enough, @T had to go without leading scorer Kristin Carter, who was home with the flu.
"In fact, seven of our 10 varsity kids are sick," said Redskins coach Marci Grimsley. "They probably would have beaten us anyway, but it really hurt us inside to not have Kristin. We had no one who could stop Julie Orth (Foster's leading scorer, with 22 points)."
Carrie Beebe led PT with 11 points. Now 3-3 in league play and 7-7 on the season, the Redskins host North Mason Friday night.
"Their coach plays pressure defense from opening tip to final buzzer and it doesn't matter what the score is. And he has only eight girls so the starters play just as much as anybody. At least the kids played real hard," Grimsley said. "They went down swinging.

Responsive web design provides an optimal viewing experience for each user regardless of which device they are using. The designer will ensure that your website has the proper navigation elements, screen layouts, text, images, audio/video players and more that will automatically adjust themselves depending on the device.
With responsive design, you don’t need to spend extra time or money creating a second website for mobile users. Nor do you need to put in the time to manage two separate sites and their respective campaigns. For these reasons, and many more, responsive web design is the gold standard by which today’s websites adhere to.
Let’s take a look at the top five benefits to responsive web design.
- Ultra Flexible
Responsive web design is undeniably fluid, meaning that the content moves freely across the screen to fit the device. Whether you’re viewing a website on a tiny smartphone or a massive desktop, the website images and grids will fill out the screen appropriately, appearing as if it was designed for that specific device.
- Superior User Experience
Users deserve a seamless experience regardless of the device they are using. Responsive web design caters to all audiences and provides them with the optimized user experience they are craving. No scrolling or resizing is needed, and everything loads quickly for easy browsing and site navigation. Leaving your site happy creates positive vibes toward your brand.
Responsive web design does not have to be expensive. There is only one site to maintain, so that saves money right off the bat. One website costs less than two; it’s simple math. Not to mention, having one website is good for SEO, so you’ll get more traffic and leads from your website. This increases sales and ROI.
Google recommends having a responsive website. It’s the industry standard, and it’s much easier for Google to crawl and index one site so that it can be ranked accordingly. Therefore, Google rewards websites that are responsive. Just by setting up a responsive design, you can boost your rankings in the SERPs and make Google happy.
- Easy to Manage
Having a separate site for mobile users and desktop users means you have to create two separate SEO campaigns. Who wants that? With a responsive website, you only have to run one SEO campaign, and you can still launch a separate mobile SEO strategy by incorporating mobile-specific keywords.
WSI Net Advantage can help you build a responsive web design that will convert users. Call us today to learn more at 510-687-9737 or fill out our contact form and we’ll get back to you!

Soon to loose her heart to the touching and often hilarious lives of a tough Yorkshire working class community. This is Bronte country during the second world war. "Two Rings Around the Moon" is an anthology of short stories of ordinary folk united against the evil dictators both national like Hitler and local like corrupt mill owners, self important senior coppers and petty officials. The loyal, tender (and tough) love they have for each other is evident in each of their individual stories and positively monumental in the final dramatic denouement when they join forces to right a terrible injustice.

The Plumbing Info Playlist #24
I’ve felt compelled to do another playlist for my loyal followers. I don’t know what it is, maybe it’s because it’s been raining like Seattle in Chicago but I’ve been listening to new hard rock lately. You don’t really hear much about plain ole hard rock. The genre is so broad now it’s hard to label. After listening to the new Breaking Benjamin album (please don’t wait another 6 years to make another. Can we also take up a petition to get Tool to finally release a new one?) It’s been a mission of mine to find the best hard rock songs on Spotify. I’m pretty confident I’ve put together the “hardrockingest” (You can use that word if you want. Permission granted) playlist on the planet. So enjoy and I hope it rocks your f**king socks off.
P.S. There is no death metal, screamo or speed metal on the list so move along if that floats your boat.
I’ll Rock You F**king Socks Off #24
1.) Next To Nothing – Superheaven – Being a big 90’s grunge fan helps. This sounds like it should have been played in 1993. They call it Alt Rock or post-hardcore but it’s just hard rock. Enjoy.
2.) Heavy Is The Head – Zac Brown, Chris Cornell – Chris Cornell is one of most recognizable voices in rock history and you hear him early. It’s not until the first verse is sung that you realize it’s Zac Brown. It’s an unlikely pairing that makes for a great song.
3.) Failure – Breaking Benjamin – One of the first singles off of their newly released album “Dark Before Dawn” . It’s awesome and let me be one of the many who are saying “we’re glad you’re back”.
5.) Dead Inside – Muse – If you don’t know who Muse is you probably suck. It’s their new single.
6.) Francafrique – Refused – This is such a jam. Don’t forget to let people know who told you about this song. ME BABY. This is one of those bands that have been around forever and I feel a little stupid that I’ve never heard them before. Just to give you a bit of info they formed in 1991.
7.) Footsteps – Pop Evil – One hard working hard rock bands from the Midwest that have been at it for awhile. Great song for sure.
8.) What Went Down – Foals – Another UK band. This song is firmly in the Alt Rock genre.
9.) The Great Beyond – Puppy – Puppy is literally hot off the presses. They don’t even have an LP yet. If this is an early indication, they have a pretty bright future.
10.) Amen – Halestorm – This song makes me want to drink a bunch of Rumplemintz and get into a bar fight. A great hard rock band from Pennsylvania that tours extensively. Check them out if you’ve never heard them.
11.) Fly – Sleeping With Sirens – This band reminds me quite a bit of Paramore before Paramore went completely pop.
12.) The Vengeful One – Disturbed – YES Disturbed is back and they sound great as usual.
13.) Angles Fall – Breaking Benjamin – With a brand new album released in the last two weeks I couldn’t stop with just one.
14.) Human Race – Three Days Grace – Another great veteran rock band with a new lead singer and a new album.
15.) Defector – Muse
16.) Wicked Ones – Dorothy – A brand new song, brand new traditional hard rock band.
18.) I killed Robert Johnson – The Stone Foxes – Just crank it up, great guitar riffs and cool lyrics.
19.) Get Right Church – Ben Miller Band
20.) I Hate Everything About You – Three Days Grace – Nothing says I like you like sending over this song to a dear friend.
I hope this playlist wakes you up and gets you pumped up for whatever the day brings. Work, workout or drive, make it a great day. Thanks again for reading and listening.

"Dear friend, the dedication is justified, you are giving me great pleasure with the work," Wagner to Bruckner. Symphony No.3, a monumental symphonic piece that Bruckner worked on for nearly 20 years pays tribute to Richard Wagner. This live recording of the Jan. 30, 1970 concert in the Herkules-Saal of the Munich residence with Rafael Kubelik & Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra is available again, now in CD format.
"Enjoys a terrific sonic resonance, the opening D Minor carpet of sound that opens the symphony rife with allusions to Beethoven’s Ninth... A real testament to Kubelik’s powerful sway over large forces." -Audiophile AuditionNotes & Reviews:

Next to the Academy Awards and the Venice Film Festival, The Emmy Awards is the longest-anticipated event for myself and my family every year. I tend to ignore the “health and wellness” critics who claim that mind-numbing television is an immediate accelerant to disease, weight gain and a dramatic loss of brain cells. In my home, television promotes family bonding, creates a space to experience an hour of a drastically different life and general excitement for the release date of new seasons and series. I always welcome peoples’ TV show recommendations and am never not delighted to offer opinions of my own; who doesn’t love escapism?
On Sept. 12 of this year, the Seventy-Fourth Primetime Emmy Awards aired on NBC and highlighted the most popular series of the year such as “Succession,” “Ted Lasso” and “The White Lotus.” The event was filled with many memorable moments: John Legend’s heartfelt performance of his new song “Pieces” for the memoriam ceremony, Lizzo’s first Emmy win for “Lizzo’s Watch Out for the Big Grrrls,” Jennifer Coolidge’s hilarious acceptance speech for her “White Lotus” performance and Jimmy Kimmel’s controversial announcement tactic. Although there were some questionable choices made, the beautiful moments definitely came out on top.
I wanted to first turn our attention to the red carpet; I’d be lying if I said that red carpet fashion isn’t my main motivation for turning on every award show. Zendaya’s custom black Valentino ball gown won the night, and it looked even better onstage when she accepted her Emmy for Euphoria (Lead Actress in a Drama Series). Angela Bassett also stunned audiences with her perfectly tailored yellow sequined Dolce and Gabbana dress, as did Lily James in her metallic Versace number. James’s performance in “Pam and Tommy” is what has made me recommend the show dozens of times over.
The first onstage moment I need to highlight is Jennifer Coolidge’s acceptance speech. Her award for Best Supporting Actress in “The White Lotus” was Coolidge’s first Emmy win, and I could not have been more thrilled to witness this history being made. Her performances never fail to put a smile on my face, and although her speech was cut short, she received the utmost support of every fellow actor in the room.
“I just want to say I took a lavender bath tonight, right before the show, and it made me swell up inside my dress and I’m having a hard time speaking,” Coolidge joked at the beginning of her speech, before dancing along to her send off music.
The equally chaotic and comedic energy of this acceptance speech will live on as one of the most iconic in The Emmy Awards’ history.
In continued “girl power” fashion, Lizzo picked up her first Emmy for Outstanding Competition Program for her show “Lizzo’s Watch Out For The Big Grrrls.”
“When I was a little girl, all I wanted to see was me in the media. Someone fat like me. Black like me. Beautiful like me. If I could go back and tell little Lizzo something, I would be like, ‘You’re going to see that person, but bitch, it’s going to have to be you,’” Lizzo revealed as she accepted her award in tears and spoke to the importance of representation in the media.
Her speech was beyond powerful, giving young girls (especially young girls of marginalized communities) the confidence to fulfill their goals, as well as the hope that they too can one day earn a highly sought-after accolade for their achievements.
It would be criminal to recap the night without including perhaps the most iconic moment (maybe in Emmy history): Sheryl Lee Ralph’s Emmy win for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series — “Abbott Elementary.” At 65 years old, this was Sheryl Lee Ralph’s first nomination and win. After her years of contribution to the industry, it was incredibly inspiring to finally see Ralph recognized the way she has always deserved to be. The power of her speech was evident from the start, as she asserted that she had a “…speech prepared since I was five years old.”
Her acceptance speech was paired with an emotional performance from Ralph herself, when she sang a verse from jazz singer Diane Reeves’ 1993 song “Endangered Species.” Poignant, powerful, and history-making, as Ralph is only the second Black woman to win the Outstanding Supporting Actress Emmy. If you haven’t seen her acceptance speech and performance, you must watch it today.
Lastly, it’s time to honor the king of Hollywood himself, Michael Keaton. Keaton has been involved in some seriously iconic projects (“The Trial of the Chicago 7,” “Frasier,” and “30 Rock” to name a few), but for this year’s Emmy Awards he was honored as Lead Actor in Limited Anthology series for his performance in the Hulu drama “Dopesick.” His acceptance speech was censored, as he told his “true believers” “I f****** love you.” The actor recalled the days of his childhood when he would recreate television scenes for his family, and how TV had the power to bring his family closer. He closed by thanking, “…all those people in my family for never making me feel foolish because I went on to do that several times myself.”
