After a nearly seven year span of helping lead the reinvigoration of the Walnut Hills Redevelopment Foundation (WHRF), Kevin Wright will step down from his role as Executive Director on April 6th. We're incredibly thankful for Kevin's leadership, and we're excited to continue the important work of revitalizing Walnut Hills in a community-based and equitable manner. The WHRF Board has begun deliberations on the search process for Kevin's replacement that will incorporate the Walnut Hills area community, the WHRF staff and the WHRF Board.
Walnut Hills has long been a neighborhood in the spotlight for its diversity and history. Over the last seven years, the neighborhood has experienced a great deal of new development and growth in stark contrast with the recent history of disinvestment. This growth has been made possible through the collaboration, commitment, and hard work of community members and institutions, including the Walnut Hills Redevelopment Foundation. After nearly failing, the Walnut Hills Redevelopment Foundation brought on Executive Director Kevin Wright in 2011, who in turn has curated a team of extremely passionate individuals and has been instrumental in pushing the needle on the change we see today. This includes:
- a variety of new housing, both owner- and renter-occupied units such as Trevarren Flats;
- a strong new business base with graduates from entrepreneurial organizations like MORTAR and nationally recognized bars like Video Archive;
- the creation and adoption of the Walnut Hills Reinvestment Plan;
- resource grant opportunities like THRIVE and Façade Improvement for businesses and residents;
- and the revitalization and new construction on the historic Paramount building, whose first tenant will house Cincinnati's first black-owned brewery.
We are thrilled that the success of the Walnut Hills Redevelopment Foundation has translated into a new opportunity for Kevin to help the greater regional community, and while we're sad to see him go, our staff and board are dedicated in our work towards a vibrant, safe, and inclusive Walnut Hills. Our work here at the WHRF will take even more community collaboration in this joint effort towards progressive change, especially in our continued commitment towards equitable development. Our staff will be working twice as hard during this shift to ensure that our work is unhindered in the coming weeks. While Kevin's last day will be April 6th, he will be around and assisting our team with the transition to a new, permanent Executive Director.
In the coming weeks, we will be releasing more details regarding an Interim Director and our search process for a permanent Executive Director. Please direct all questions to firstname.lastname@example.org or our office at (513) 593-9473, refer to Board Vice President Jay Shifman.

Grammy Award winner and gold aficionado, Bruno Mars, will bring his 24K Magic World Tour to Sacramento’s Golden 1 Center on July 18 for a night of legendary soul, funk, pop and R&B. The singer-songwriter, producer and choreographer will be making his first appearance in Sacramento, bringing to life his latest album, 24K Magic.
With hits like, “Uptown Funk,” “Just The Way You Are,” “Locked Out Of Heaven,” and his latest, “That’s What I Like,” fans will surely find themselves singing along in Mars’ world of hits.
In light of those quick to discredit him as a pop artist, Mars’ 9 million albums sold worldwide could silence critics, but his stage presence would surely give even the biggest critic a chance to give credit where it is due. Mars performs with a desire to win over fans at every show – most famously during the Super Bowl Halftime show in 2016, where he sang, danced and punctuated an already memorable show with a drum solo. His show in Sacramento should not disappoint.
While Anderson .Paak was originally scheduled to appear, the world famous Jabbawockeez dance crew will take on the opening slot for the night.
It will be the second night of his North American tour, coming fresh off the European leg of his tour.

Mom Warns to Not Put Kids in Blue Bathing Suits This Summer
She has a valid point here.
A mom, who is a swim instructor, has gone viral on social media after she posted a warning to parents who have kids who like to swim.
Nikki Scarnati posted a video on TikTok that showed her daughter swimming while wearing blue swimwear and she pointed out how difficult it is to see your child while they are underwater.
Rather, as some suggested under her viral video, you should put your kids in bright colors like red, yellow, orange, or even neon.
Many of us will soon be diving into pools and hitting the beaches and this is an excellent reminder for all.
Make sure that your kids are visible while they are in the water, and them are having a blue bathing suit on makes it rather difficult.
One mother commented on the video below and admitted that her child nearly drowned when he dove into the murky water.
Luckily the child who went into the water had a bright orange swimsuit on and she was able to locate her child and pull him to safety.

In Korean "kuwol" means "September", and this name indicates beauty of autumn mapple trees in mountain. An official nature reserve since the 1970th, Mt.Kuwol is visited by half a million local tourists each year. Being listed as one of the five celebrated mountains of the DPRK, along with Paektu, Kumgang, Myohyang, and Chilbo, Kuwol has been out of radar for most Western tourists.
In 2003 however it was listed as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve to protect “typical forest ecosystem of Korea which survived the damages of the Korean War”. In the biosphere reserve is also one of Korea’s most important rice producing areas, and the base rich in medicinal herbs such as ginseng.Mt. Kuwol has remains associated with Tangun - legendary founder of Korean nation, dolmens of the Bronze Age, old tombs, Buddhist temples. The mountain is a major summer resort in North Korea, attracting many domestic tourists.
The highest peak of the mountain - the highest point in the short Kuwol range - is the 954 m Sahwang peak. Sahwang is looped by the remains of the 5.2 km Kuwol Mountain fort, built during the Koguryo dynasty (277 BC – AD 668). Also around Sahwang is the Samsong Pleasure Ground. The site is sprinkled with relics such as fortresses, temples, historics houses and tombs, related to the early development of Korea as well as to the origins of Buddhism. 9th-century Woljong Temple, rebuilt in the 15th century, hides in the southern Jol Valley, east of Asa peak. The restored Samsong Temple was originally dedicated to Korea’s spiritual founder Tangun.
The mountain of Sokdamgugok (“nine valleys of pools and rocks”) sits on the River Sokdam, 12 km north of Haeju. In the Unbyong Valley (namely, the finest among nine valleys) sits the 15th-century Sohyon Academy.
There are several scenic routes through the mountain area. Natural attractions include rock formations, waterfalls and natural pools. Much of the mountain is covered by mixed broadleaf and coniferous forest and protected in an 18,000 ha. Some 1100 ha has been identified by BirdLife International as an Important Bird Area
Three seasons in Mt. Kuwol
There are 2 major ways to get to Mt.Kuwol from Pyongyang:
It is one of the 5 celebrated mountains of Korea magnificently soaring on the border of Unryul, Anak, Samchon and Unchon counties of South Hwanghae Province. Such famous Tanphung, Phaldam, Jiwonphokpho and Jonggok Valleys have been developed, and there are revolutionary sites and places of historical interest including the Kuwolsansong Revolutionary Site and the Woljong Temple
Mt. Jangsu: It is called “Hwanghae Kumgang” and “queen of valley beauty” because of its beauty. The name “Jangsu” means “longevity” because in the past the inhabitants in the mountain lived long drinking clear water and breathing fresh air. The mountain is 745 m above sea level, 61 kilometers from east to west and 10 km from north to south. The Jangsusan Pleasure Ground has 12 valleys with unique scenic spots and natural objects preserved with public interest as well as interesting legends.
Jonggok Valley: It is a scenic spot in the southeast of Mt. Kuwol. The valley is impressive because its dense forest, gigantic rocks, waterfalls and ponds boast of their own beauties. Unique Ryongyon Falls are found 2 km up from the entrance. Around Mt. Kuwol are the Sinchon Museum, Anak Tomb No.3 and a vast Chongchun Orchard of Kwail county.
It is historic Budhist temple which was built against the Asa Peak during the Koguryo dynasty. The temple consists of Manse Pavilion, Myongbu Hall, Suwol Hall and other auxiliary buildings around Kuknakbo Temple. Kuknakbo Temple was built in 846 and the Manse Pavilion in 881
In Korean it means "three spirits shrine": Tangun - legendary founder of Korean nation; his father - Hwanung; and grandfather - Hwanin. The temple was built at the end of Koryo dynasty to hold memorial services for Tangun. There are Samsong, Yanghyon and Yongbin Halls in Samsong.
Tanphung Valley (Autumn Tints Valley): It is a scenic spot on the western slope of Mt. Kuwol. It is the deepest and most beautiful valleys of Mt. Kuwol. There are Madang, Samhyongje, Toebak, Kama and Paemjango Ponds, Chadae Falls and places of historical interest like the Woljong Temple section
Jiwonphokpho Valley: The valley is located 3 km away from Tanphung Valley on the way to the Susamthae Ridge. The valley is not very long but the scenery is excellent for its thick woods resembling virgin forest and majestic waterfalls. The Jiwon Falls is the most spectacular in the valley.
King Kongukwon's Mausoleum (also known as Anak Tomb No. 3) is a part of The Complex of Koguryeo Tombs. In July 2004, The Complex of Koguryeo Tombs became the first UNESCO World Heritage site in the DPRK. The site consists of 30 individual tombs from the later Koguryeo kingdom, one of Three Kingdoms of Korea. King Kongukwon's Mausoleum was discovered in 1949 with valuable treasures having been stolen, but murals were kept in good condition.
King Kongukwon's Mausoleum has wall paintings. There are over 10,000 Koguryeo tombs overall, but only about 90 of those unearthed in China and Korea have wall paintings. The Complex of Koguryeo Tombs inscribed on the World Heritage List contains the majority of these tombs with wall paintings. It is thought that the complex was used as a burial site for kings, queens and other members of the royal family. The paintings found on the tombs offer a unique insight into the everyday life of the Koguryeo period.

In home, I often help my mother in the kitchen, sometimes I peels the onions, or sometime i wash the dirty plate, or sometime I cook the dish such like fried rice, omelet, noodles, fried tempeh just a simple dish.
In the future I want to be a doctor. Because it's a holy job for me, helping people sick, and bring back their smile, it's just so beautiful.
My hobby its playing badminton. in my school there's a badminton extracurricular, I joined every once per week. Badminton it's a very fun sports, the feels when you hit the shuttlecocks was very satisfying. And I also like to reading novel, because novel story's are much depend to the writer. I mostly read the 'Tere Liye' books, because this writer has a great composition on his story. The book that touch my heart it's 'Rembulan Tenggelam di Wajahmu' it means The Moon Sink on Your Face, not the real moon, its a connotation, this book tells about a man who lost everything and got a second chance to fix all of it again.

India: 53 arrested for attacks on Karnataka churches; Orissa Church life paralyzed
Catholic World News - September 17, 2008
While authorities in the state of Karnataka have reacted to anti-Christian violence-- tardily, in the view of Church leaders-- the mob attacks continue in Orissa. Now the campaign of violence has spread to another Indian state: Madya Pradesh.
AsiaNews, citing figures provided by All India Catholic Union, reported that so far the violence in the state of Orissa alone has killed 45 and wounded 18,000; 5 are missing; 56 churches, 11 schools, and 4 NGO offices have been destroyed; 300 villages have been attacked; more than 4,000 homes have been burned or destroyed, forcing more than 50,000 people to flee. Of these, 40,000 are still hiding in the forest; 12,000 are sheltered in the refugee camps provided by the government.
Hindu antipathy toward the Church is illustrated by the complaints that a television ad depicting a priest as an educator is an offense against the Hindu faith-- despite the fact that Church-run schools have educated millions of India's children, including Hindus.
An appeal from our founder, Dr. Jeffrey Mirus:

Introducing Blobfish Throws a Party, a wild and hilarious story from award-winning author Miranda Paul!
Blobfish lives at the bottom of the ocean with no lights, no friends, and no delicious treats. The only two ways he can think to change this would be to 1) throw a party, or 2) save the world in true hero style. He decides to do the first one. However, when he announces, "Deep sea party! Bring a treat to share!", the mermaids hear "Cheap, free party! Sling on a sheet to wear!", and the shorebirds hear "Cheep-peep party! Sing a tweet with flair!", and so on. Soon the whole world is partying in strange ways based on what they think they heard, and Blobfish is still sad and alone at the bottom of the sea. Will Blobfish ever get his lights, friends, and delicious treats?
From Kirkus Review, " The whole package feels nicely wrapped, the wrapping doesn't try to get fancy, and the package isn't too big or small. Pleasingly proportional. Nicely crafted comedy—and the Blobfish gets his wish. (Picture book. 4-8)"

Florida nursing student passing exam rate nearly 20% lower than national average, report shows
The passing rate for the registered nurse exam in is nearly 20% lower than the average rate nationally.
The test is called the Florida National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX) and that data comes from the Florida Center for Nursing.
Officials said the passing rate in Florida last year for the registered nurse exam was nearly 65%, with the national rate more than 82%.
"I spent eight to 10 hours every day for about four months studying for my NCLEX," Kirstie Bradent, a new ICU nurse, told WPBF 25 News.
Your neighborhood: Local coverage from WPBF 25 News
"You hope that you put in the work and that it pays off and that you can pass it on the first try," Nathan Slager, who recently graduated his nursing school program, said.
Some students said they believe the COVID-19 pandemic had a major impact on the recent passing average in Florida.
"We weren’t taking classes online for a while that we just didn’t have the clinical experience because of COVID. And there’s a lot of questions on the exam that are a lot easier to answer when you have that clinical knowledge to back up your book knowledge," Bradent said.
"That challenge is through the COVID years. And I’ve seen it in some of my cohorts that we wiped and deducted by about 50% of our class, certain semesters," Slager told WPBF 25 News.
"Going through some classes, some of my classmates would be like ‘I’m not sure I’m prepared for the real world' because they’re kind of making it easier than it really is," Yesenia Ascencio, who is a junior in her nursing program, said.
"As being a new grad nurse, working in that hospital environment is a little bit challenging ... just getting nurses to be able to find support and have people who can help you learn things. It’s a little bit harder than I expected but it’s not terrible," Bradent said.
Nursing students said they are excited about the future, despite the challenges that they may face.
"Current goal right now is to work in the pediatric ICU hopefully at St. Mary’s Medical Center, start there and then build up some experience," Slager said.
He is preparing to hopefully take his NCLEX in the next month.
"Find a trustworthy resource, don’t overwhelm yourself with too many resources, find one that’s good, commit to it and put the time and effort in," Slager said.
This next wave of nurses says despite the challenges, they strive for their dreams.
"We kind of push each other and encourage each other as we’re going through it together," Ascencio said.
"Having the mindset of 'it’s bigger than me' is what keeps me putting on the uniform to go to work," Bradent said.

's source for these passages on the Stuarts' assertions that the American colonies
were “without the realm” was apparently the 4th edition of Thomas Pownall, The Administration of the Colonies . . .
, London, 1768, p. 48–49. It would seem, however, that JA
took certain liberties with his source. As described by Pownall, the incidents occurred
thus: “So that when the House of Commons, in those reiterated attempts which they
made by passing a bill to get a law enacted for establishing a free right of fishery
on the coasts of Virginia, New-England, and Newfoundland, put in the claim of the
state to this property, and of the parliament to jurisdiction over it; they were told
in the House by the servants of the crown, 'That it was not fit to make laws here
for those countries which are not yet annexed to the crown. That this bill was not
proper for this house, as it concerneth America.'” Pownall's footnotes state clearly
that this view of Parliament's authority referred only to the disputes between Parliament
and James I in 1621.
Pownall mentions no dissent by Charles I to a bill passed by both Houses on the fisheries
question. Indeed, none was ever made, for all bills to end the fishing monopoly in
the New England charters failed to pass in Parliament during the reigns of both James
I and Charles I (Charles B. Judah, The North American Fisheries and British Policy to 1713, Urbana, 1933 [Ill. Studies in the Social Sciences, 18, nos. 3–4], p. 50–60;
George L. Beer, The Origins of the British Colonial System, 1578–1660, N. Y., 1908, p. 272–275).

10 Greatest Celebrity Cheating Scandals
The ultimate betrayals! Check out the biggest celebrity cheating through the years:
10- Khloe Kardashian and Tristan Thompson
In April 2018 The Cleveland Cavaliers player was caught cheating on the ‘Keeping Up With the Kardashians’ star just days before she gave birth to their first child True. Khloe is known to have a good heart and that is why the reality star decided to give the professional athlete a second chance for the sake of their daughter. In February 2019 they split up, after he was caught “making out” with Kylie Jenner’s BFF, Jordyn Woods, at a party in Los Angeles.
9- Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner
Not to put all the eggs in one basket, but it’s always the nanny! Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner announced a day after their 10 year wedding anniversary that they were divorcing. Almost a month later, Us Weekly exclusively revealed that Ben had been romancing Christine Ouzounian, nanny to their three kids. But a source close to the couple revealed that Ben and Jen had called it quits months before the accusations came to light. Yeah Right!
8- Kevin Hart and Eniko Parrish
In July the comic was accused of cheating on his model wife, Erin, who was pregnant at the time. The actor initially denied the accusations but later posted a video on Instagram apologizing to his family. He said “Sending so many apologies to my wife and kids. I have to do better and I will. I’m not perfect and have never claimed to be. I love you”- these were his words.
7- Tiger Woods and Elin Nordegren
In October 2009 it was exposed that the golfer had cheated on his wife, Elin. In a televised statement, Tiger admitted to having had affairs with a number of women. “I was unfaithful. I had affairs. I cheated,” he said. Tiger and the Swedish model got divorced in 2010.
6- Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston
In 2005 the world was covered with rumors that the actor was cheating on his wife with his Mr. & Mrs. Smith co-star, Angelina Jolie. The same year the Allied actor and Aniston decided to get a divorce after five years of marriage and a few months later Brad and Angelina were seen together in a romantic getaway.
5- Jay-Z and Beyoncé
In 2016 Beyoncé released an album, Lemonade, which detailed the long standing rumors of her husband’s infidelity. The rapper opened up about his cheating saying “I did something I had no business doing. I have a beautiful wife who is very understanding and knew that I’m not the worst of what I’ve done. We did the hard work of going to therapy, and we love each other. So we really put in the work.”
They have three children, and have remained together and are stronger than ever before.
4- Laura Dern and Billy Bob Thornton
That Angelina… Laura Dern and Billy Bob Thornton were still engaged in 1999 when he suddenly married Angelina Jolie without notifying his then-fiancée that he’d fallen for someone else. “I left our home to work on a movie, and while I was away, my boyfriend got married, and I’ve never heard from him again,” she recalled.
3- Princess Diana and Prince Charles
No cheating scandal was more heartbreaking than this one. While married to Princess Diana, Prince Charles engaged in a long term affair with former girlfriend Camilla Parker Bowles. He even reportedly gave Camilla a personalized bracelet only two weeks before he married Diana in 1981. Diana admitted her husband’s infidelity in a 1995 interview “There were three of us in this marriage, so it was bit crowded.”
2- Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver
Everyone was blown away when Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver announced their separation after 25 years in 2011. And it became even more shocking when it was revealed Schwarzenegger fathered a son back in 1997 with Mildred Patricia Baena. She was their housekeeper at the time.
1- Woody Allen and Mia Farrow
No cheating scandal was ever greater than this one. The story of Woody Allen and Soon Yi Previn is known by many. While still in a relationship with Mia Farrow (who had adopted Soon Yi with her ex-husband Andre Previn) Allen began a relationship with Soon Yi. When asked about his affair, Allen responded by saying, “The heart wants what it wants. There’s no logic to those things. You meet someone and you fall in love and that’s that.”

Choirs from Pleasant Grove elementary and middle schools serenaded the crowd of at least 300 people at City Hall Thursday night, as did state Sen. Greg Reed, R-Jasper, whose district includes much of western Jefferson County. Reed sang the Christmas songs "Mary, Did You Know?" and "Beautiful Star of Bethlehem." The Pleasant Grove High School marching band also performed.
A clear but cold night helped set the scene. The Legacy Health Care Center staff provided refreshments, and Santa Claus made an appearance.
Some of the Christmas lights went out temporarily during the ceremony after a breaker blew.
Laura Higgenbotham, a member of the city's Christmas Parade Committee, said an effort was made to make this year's tree lighting a special event after the cancellation of the parade because of damage from the April 27 tornado that tore through the community. Some members of the Christmas Parade Committee were directly affected by the storm, while others were battling health issues, officials said.
Mayor Jerry Brasseale said the parade will return next year. The mayor said he looked forward to the tree lighting, especially after storms last week caused the cancellation of the citywide Thanksgiving dinner.
"We always look forward to this," Brasseale said. "It's Christmas, and everybody gets presents. It's a good time of the year, and we get the opportunity to showcase City Hall with the lighting of the tree and decorations.
The Christmas Parade Committee worked with the city's Beautification Board and Parks and Recreation Department to make the tree lighting happen.
Michele Hyde, a resident of Highland Forest and an elementary school teacher, said the tree lighting served a special purpose in the aftermath of the tornado. Some of her students and family members lost everything in the tornado, she said.
The crowd at the tree lighting was as large as any she could remember, she said.
"This year, because of the situation and circumstances, it just shows that hope and that everyone will come together and the city will bounce back," she said.

A newly released study finds that sea levels over the last three decades have increased in some places within the UK at more than double the rate recorded at the start of the 1900s.
Government's five-yearly environmental report card "tells a story of crisis and decline in Australia's environment and a decade of government inaction and willful ignorance," says Environment Minister Tanya Plibersek.
A satellite-based survey found that the global volume of all glaciers combined was around 10 percent smaller than previous calculations.
Scientists have estimated that the ice sheet melt in Greenland will increase global sea levels by three to 23 centimetres by the next century.
Part of Abu Dhabi’s clean energy push, the $32 billion nuclear power station risks destabilising a volatile region with detrimental consequences for the environment.
According to research, emissions between 2015 and 2030 would be enough to raise sea levels by eight centimetres by 2100.

Recently, colleges have been floating three-year bachelor’s degrees to undergraduates. Many students enter with AP credits and a need to reduce tuition costs, so why not concentrate their studies and head into the real world a year sooner? The university, too, would benefit. As a story in the Los Angeles Times last year put it:
“A proposal unveiled last month involved greater use of summer school and possibly streamlining requirements for some majors. Proponents estimate that if 5% to 10% of UC undergraduates finished their degrees one term earlier than they do now, the university could educate 2,000 to 4,000.”
Buildings wouldn’t sit empty all summer long, students wouldn’t waste time and blow off in courses outside their career interests, and more individuals could be served (and charged tuition). Everybody wins.
According to this story in the Washington Post from last week, however, the three-year option hasn’t worked. Or rather, hardly any students are interested. Only a “tiny percentage” of the undergraduates at various campuses have signed up for the programs. The student profiled in the Post piece cite the desire to study abroad and to have a little more college fun before joining the working world.
The Post doesn’t expand on her motives, but they sound typical to me. It isn’t just because of the tough job market, either. When we see that average homework time for students adds up to only 12 or 13 hours per week, college amounts to a part-time job for most students. Most campuses have decent facilities, too, and 20-year-olds get to spend their time in the midst of hundreds and thousands of other 20-year-olds at sporting events and parties. Why leave?
This is, in fact, the outcome of the front-end strategy of colleges. They do all they can to lure high school seniors to their campuses, highlighting the wonderful and unique “college experience” they offer. Not many adolescents say to themselves after receiving their admittance letter, “Okay, now let’s see about some programs to reduce the time I’m going to spend there.”

Home improvement website Porch surveyed 750 people, divided into Generation X, Baby Boomers, and millennials; and reported on their kitchen competency. Nearly half of millienals said they cannot cook a ribeye steak to medium temperature. Furthermore, only half of millennials said they could competently roast a chicken.
The disappointment continues...
A few choice stats: 56 percent of millennials could identify a garlic press; only 47 percent could braise a piece of meat; and 30 percent wouldn’t know how to mince garlic. Boomers and Gen Xers are more adept at all those tasks, according to the report. Tom Brokaw may have been a bit over-the-top in his praise of “The Greatest Generation,” but Baby Boomers were fighting overseas at what, 19 years old?, suturing wounds and shaping the course of world history. Fast forward, and 59 percent of millennials couldn’t make salad dressing.

The asking price for the foreclosed downtown shopping center will be $43.7 million, according to a list released Monday by the Lackawanna County sheriff’s office.
The sale begins at 10 a.m. in the first-floor jury lounge at the Lackawanna County Courthouse, said Robert Moore, a deputy sheriff. Although the mall is the first item on the list, the auction will follow bidding for other properties held over from earlier sales, the deputy said.
Mall principal Al Boscov continues to put together financing to try to make the acquisition, said Scott Esterbrook, a Philadelphia lawyer who represents the department store magnate in the foreclosure.
“Albert is still working on a lot of details relating to the foreclosure sale,” Mr. Esterbrook said. “He is trying to raise the capital to pull it off.

Charles Manson, the notorious cult killer whose name itself became associated with evil, has died after nearly 46 years in prison. He was convicted after directing his followers to brutally murder the pregnant actress Sharon Tate, along with six others, in the summer of 1969.
The murders stunned the world, but were all the more shocking because of the motivations behind them - among them, Manson’s desire to kickstart an apocalyptic race war he called “Helter Skelter.”
What was Helter Skelter?
Manson believed the tensions between blacks and whites in the counter-cultural boiling pot of the 1960s would erupt into a cataclysmic race war that would end in the slaughter of nearly all white people. He called this doomsday scenario “Helter Skelter.”
In the scenario, the tensions between the races would lead to violent murders of whites by blacks, which would be met in return with murders of blacks by whites, and so on, until a full scale war erupted. At the same time, in Manson’s theory, white people would turn against their neighbors, leading the white race to fight both itself and the blacks at the same time until it was annihilated and blacks emerged victorious, according to the University of Virginia.
Meanwhile, Manson and his followers would crawl down a secret hole in Death Valley and wait out the bloody war in a secret underground city. Upon the war’s end, the group would rise from the desert and rule the victorious blacks, whom Manson thought would be incapable of governing themselves, according to the Huffington Post.
The role of The Beatles and The Bible
Manson became obsessed with the Beatles’ White Album, which included a song called “Helter Skelter.” Manson believed the Beatles had sent subtle, coded messages about the race war through the songs on the album that predicted both the war and the Manson Family’s eventual rule over the survivors. Manson took the name of his doomsday scenario from the song “Helter Skelter,” but interpreted lyrics from songs across the album, according to the Huffington Post.
He compared the lyrics to verses he found in the Book of Revelations, which he interpreted as having predicted the Beatles as harbingers of the apocalypse. This is also where he confirmed his theory of a bottomless pit where the family would wait out the war, according to the UKMC School of Law.
Manson became impatient after his race war failed to materialize. He told his followers that they needed to give the war a kick - to “do what blackie didn't have the energy or the smarts to do - ignite Helter Skelter and bring in Charlie's kingdom,” according to Tex Watson, one of Manson’s followers.
Manson directed his “family” members to kill everyone at the home on 10050 Cielo Home. Four of them broke into the home and murdered pregnant actress Sharon Tate, as well as four other people.
Manson and the others connected to the killing were arrested several months later, and the trial began less than a year later in the summer of 1970. Manson was convicted and was imprisoned for the rest of his life.

Liverpool moved back to within a point of Premier League leaders Manchester City after battling past Burnley at Anfield.
Liverpool fought back from a goal down to claim a 4-2 win over Burnley and move back to within a point of Premier League leaders Manchester City.
Pep Guardiola’s side eased to a 3-1 victory over Watford on Saturday to turn up the heat on Liverpool, who had drawn four of their previous six league matches.
The pressure was increased when Ashley Westwood scored straight from a corner on Sunday, but Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane each netted twice to secure the comeback, despite a late Johann Gudmundsson goal amid difficult conditions on Merseyside.
Anfield was stunned after only six minutes when Westwood’s corner from the left curled all the way into the net, although Alisson was furious it was allowed to stand after claiming he had been blocked by three Burnley players on the line.
Liverpool levelled within 13 minutes, though, Firmino tapping in after Tom Heaton made a mess of trying to block Mohamed Salah’s low cross from the right.
And it was 2-1 before the half-hour mark, Mane side-footing into the right-hand corner after Adam Lallana did well to block a clearance.
Burnley improved after the break, with Dwight McNeil causing problems down the Liverpool right, but the result was put beyond them 67 minutes in when Firmino buried his second into an unguarded net after Salah had failed to capitalise on Heaton’s poor goal kick.
Mane should have scored a late fourth when he somehow turned Trent Alexander-Arnold’s cross onto the crossbar with the goal at his mercy, but he made amends by rounding Heaton and burying a left-foot finish after Gudmundsson’s close-range finish had threatened to make the final few moments anxious.

Engineer questions government wind turbine sound testing methods
By Barb McKay
An acoustics engineer is questioning the Ontario government’s methods for setting baseline sound limits for wind turbines after field testing was recently conducted in Kincardine.
Todd Busch, project manager for Swallow Acoustic Consultants Ltd., was in front of the Municipality of Kincardine council during its meeting last Wednesday to go over data from a study conducted within the boundaries of the Armow Wind Project last fall. Swallow was contracted by the municipality to study baseline acoustic and infrasound levels prior to the 92-turbine, 180-megawatt project becoming operational.
Engineers conducted interior and exterior sound testing at five homes within the project area between Oct. 30 and Nov. 14, 2015, using special microphones designed specifically to record infrasound (sound not picked up by the human ear). The sound measurements account for sound levels from wind in exterior testing.
Busch said when a noise impact study was conducted with audible sound testing for Armow Wind in 2013, engineers who did the study declared that the project would comply with Ontario Ministry of the Environment noise limits for industrial wind turbines. He said the study was done using an average wind speed at a particularly quiet site and a measurement of seven decibels was added to factor in sound levels at a higher wind speed. In the noise impact assessment summary, Busch said sound levels were calculated at between 37 and 39.8 decibels. The noise level limit set by the province is 40 decibels. Infrasound levels were not tested.

This study investigates the challenges and opportunities surrounding warehouse operations in Bangladesh, encompassing both the manufacturing and service sectors. This paper demonstrates above mentioned scenario in the context of supply chain management (SCM). Despite enduring a series of disruptions, including the pandemic and geopolitical tensions, notably the situation between Ukraine and Russia, the Bangladeshi economy has displayed remarkable resilience. In the fiscal year 2019-20, there was a significant decline in GDP growth, dropping from 7.88 percent in the pre-pandemic year to 3.45 percent. However, there was a notable resurgence in GDP growth, surging to 6.94 percent in FY 2020-21 and further rising to 7.10 percent in FY 2021-22. Unfortunately, the economic growth for FY 2022-23 has been impeded by the Russia-Ukraine crisis. The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of an economy is a composite of contributions from three key sectors: agriculture, industry, and services. As the economic landscape evolves, the significance of the agriculture sector diminishes, while the industrial sector gains prominence. This research is developed based on primary and secondary data sources, encompassing online databases, journals, review papers, and more. The primary data collection includes a comprehensive survey questionnaire completed by 207 respondents from 24 industrial sectors in Bangladesh. The study addresses multiple challenges faced by warehouse operations and offers recommendations for best practices and a strategic way forward in the global arena for Bangladesh, where priorities such as achieving net-zero emissions, sustainability, and the adoption of lean warehouse operations are paramount. Furthermore, the study advocates for the implementation of the Integrated Supply Chain Performance Measurement (ISCPM) model, along with its ten attributes, as an integral component of adopting global best practices for practitioners, which would unlock further research to develop this sector.
