BATTERED….The nation’s great newspapers all agree on one thing today: George Bush’s speech in New Orleans last night was designed as much to rescue his reputation as it was to rescue the battered Gulf Coast. Here are the headlines:
Washington Post: In Bush’s Speech, a Bid to Repair a Presidency
New York Times: Amid the Ruins, a President Tries to Reconstruct His Image, Too
Los Angeles Times: President Seeks to Revive a Region ? and His Image
Will $200 billion do the trick to turn Bush’s poll numbers around? Or will Karl Rove blow it by being a little obvious about who he spreads that money around to? Stay tuned!


Put on the protection gloves provided together with quick tyre repair kit.
– Pull up the handbrake. Loosen tyre inflation valve cap, take out the filler hose A-fig. 16c and screw the ring nut B-fig. 16c on the tyre valve;
– make sure the compressor switch E-fig. 16f is set to 0 (off), start the engine and fit plug D-fig. 16e into the nearest current outlet and then turn on the compressor by setting switch E-fig. 16f to I (on). Inflate the tyre to the pressure specified in paragraph “Inflation pressure” in section “Technical Specifications”. Check tyre pressure on gauge F with compressor off to obtain precise reading;
– if after 5 minutes it is still impossible to reach at least 1.5 bar, disengage compressor from valve and current outlet, then move the vehicle forth for approx. ten meters in order to distribute the sealing fluid inside the tyre evenly, then repeat the inflation operation;
– If after this operation it is still impossible after 5 minutes to reach at least 1.8 bar, do not start driving since the tyre is excessively damaged and the quick tyre repair kit cannot guarantee suitable sealing, contact Fiat Dealership;
– if reaching the tyre pressure specified in paragraph “Inflation pressure” in section “Technical Specifications”, start driving immediately;
Apply the sticker in a visible position for the driver to indicate that the tyre has been treated with the quick tyre repair kit. Drive carefully especially when cornering. Do not exceed 80 km/h. Avoid heavy braking and accelerating.
– after driving for about 10 minutes stop and check again the tyre pressure;

Jeff’s Initial Statement: Moon Knight #1-12 is a series of comic books by Brian Michael Bendis, Alex Maleev, Matt Hollingsworth, and Chris Eilopoulos, published in 2013 by Marvel and currently available on its service, Marvel Unlimited.
Jeff’s Initial Disclosure Regarding Brian Michael Bendis: I was once a fan of Brian Michael Bendis’ work, not so much Fire and Jinx and Torso (although I had all those), but Powers and Ultimate Spider-Man and Daredevil. At a certain point, however, perhaps twenty or so issues into his Avengers run, a certain dissatisfaction with Bendis’s working habits became a more quarrellous form of discontent. And after the publishing schedule on Powers became erratic, after Brian Michael Bendis left Daredevil, and after Ultimate Spider-Man began to feel moribund (post issue #120 or so), I stopped buying Brian Michael Bendis’ work, and would only occasionally check it out on the stands to see if that discontent remained.
(Additional necessary disclosures and review after the cut.)
Jeff’s Disclosure Regarding Alex Maleev: I like his work just fine, albeit with certain exceptions I will likely detail below.
Jeff’s Disclosure Regarding Matt Hollingsworth: I met Matt Hollingsworth once, during the course of an afternoon at Comix Experience. I had some of his home-brewed beer, which was exceptional, and I found him a pleasant, down-to-earth conversationalist. Additionally, I think he is in the very top rank of colorists in the field, someone who frequently improves the work of the artists he colors to a significant degree.
Jeff’s Disclosure Regarding Chris Eilopoulos: I have no strong opinions about Chris Eilopoulos’s lettering, apart from occasionally wondering if my own handwriting might have ended up better if my last name has as many letters in it as his. About his work as a cartoonist and creator, my opinions on this subject should have no influence on the review at hand.
Jeff’s Disclosure Regarding The Character, Moon Knight: My first encounter with Moon Knight was in issues #28 and #29 of Marvel Spotlight, the latter of which featured both a cover by Jack Kirby and an example of the “giant chess board of danger” motif, and therefore was doubly irresistible to me on an unconscious level.
At this point, Moon Knight had appeared in a few issues of Werewolf By Night—which I hadn’t read at the time, but would probably less than a year or so later—and his appearance in these issues are a little more refined than in the originals, despite being by the same creative team of Doug Moench and Don Perlin. (By which, I mean that, if memory serves, Moon Knight was a little more of a thug in his first appearances in Werewolf by
Knight Night, an anti-heroic figure who was a viable villain for Werewolf By Night because he used cestus, those wicked spiked gladiatorial gloves, made from silver?)
As was the case with an appalling amount of my reading at the time, I enjoyed these first two issues of Moon Knight by Moench and Perlin in an unironic way, taking the character completely at face-value. (I was ten.) Only later, in 1980, when the character got his own series by Moench and Bill Sienkewicz did some of the character’s debt to Batman become clear—wealthy playboy with world-traveling past who flaps about in the night with an extremely long cape, a certain dubiousness with regard to the character’s sanity, “Dark Knight” as opposed to “Moon Knight,” etc., etc.. But on first encounter, I dug him because (a) Perlin drew him with Spider-Man’s eyes; (b) a bite from Werewolf By Night gave him super-strength that waxed and waned depending on the phases of the moon; and (c) Moon Knight didn’t just have one alter-ego, he had three, which kind of went with the whole “phases of the moon” thing. In fact, even to my mind now, Moon Knight is a pleasingly cohesive superhero in the classic sense: each bit of business about the character—from his helicopter to his multiple personalities to his changing super-strength—built off the lunar conception of the character in an unexpected way.
Jeff’s Disclosure Regarding Preconceptions of Moon Knight #1-12, Prior to Reading: My preconception of this book was that it was intended to be an ongoing series but wrapped up as a “miniseries” when its sales levels did not justify the ongoing participation of Bendis and/or Maleev. My preconception of the book was that Moon Knight, a superhero with what we used to call Multiple Personality Disorder, now had three new primary personalities: Captain America, Wolverine, and Spider-Man. I thought this idea was an exceedingly dumb one, and typical of the current regime at Marvel, in that it was so obvious in its attempt to pander to their audience that it wished to be seen as a parody of pandering to their audience. (See, for example, the many, many Deadpool spin-off books from around the same time.)
Disclosure of Publicity Material Consulted: I attest I consulted no publicity material—neither interviews, nor previews, nor social media entries from any of the involved creative parties—regarding this book before, during, or after the time of publication.
Final Pre-Review Statement Regarding the Reading of This Material: I admit I read this material expecting to dislike it, to dislike the creators’ take on the material, and with the intention of mocking it at a later date, either in the podcast or here on the website.
—–Review Begins Below—-
MOON KNIGHT #1-12: Ugh, where to begin? I knew I was in trouble when the first few pages are a very badly written recreation of a key moment in Moon Knight’s origin which turns out to be —reverso!—a scene from a TV show, Legend of the Khonsu, of which Marc Spector, Moon Knight alter-ego, is the creator and executive producer.
If nothing else, I think the ol’ “no, this is deliberately bad” trick requires that the creative material coming after the bad material not be equally tone-deaf.
Bendis and Maleev’s follow-up scene has Spector be toasted at a screening party and flirting with an attractive blonde before being summoned outdoors by Cap, Spider-Man, and Wolverine. The pages of the screening party drawn by Maleev clearly show more than a dozen people mingling in groups of two or three. But Bendis has a speech panel coming from the group of minglers on the far right making it seem like the woman in that group isn’t just talking to friends with a glass of wine in hand but is actually toasting Spector: “Ladies and gentlemen, a toast. To the man of the hour, the creator of what will be the most successful syndicated strip action adventure show since Xena, Warrior Princess…”
See what I mean? Even if I try to be generous by saying, “well, the idea is that the speech, even though it starts at mid-point on the page, actually starts being said by the woman when you get to her at the end of the ‘pan’ across the room, so people were mingling *before* she did her toast to Spector.” (And boy what a long breath that requires….) The next two panels have people looking away in the opposite direction of Spector and the woman toasting him. The artist and the writer are at cross-purposes here.
Also, are you familiar with hearing “syndicated strip” in conjunction with a TV show? I admit I wasn’t, but it caught my eye, since the term has a particular meaning for me as a comic fan. So I went to Wikipedia where I got this fun fact:
The most common form is known as strip syndication or daily syndication, when episodes of a television series are shown daily five times a week in the same time slot.
Okay. Real TV term that TV people might use. However:
Typically, this means that enough episodes must exist (88 episodes, or four seasons, is the usual minimum, though many syndicators prefer a fully rounded 100 episodes) to allow for continual strip syndication to take place over the course of several months, without episodes being repeated.
Legend of the Khonsu is probably not a show that has dozens of episodes in the can. (Spector is rich, but not that rich). It’s possible that “strip syndication” is a generic term for all shows in syndication but it’s more likely that, like Xena, Legend of the Khonsu is a “first-run syndicated program,” as those do not require enough episodes in the can for daily showings. They’re shown weekly.
So. We have a deliberately bad scene opening the book, followed by a scene where the writer and artist are at cross-purposes and the writer uses a distracting term incorrectly. Great.
If you read all of the disclaimers above, I think it’s pretty easy to see how all of my biases are in play here. I don’t have faith in Bendis as a writer, and I liked the original Moon Knight which he’s bagging on here (the other scene shown from the show involves a werewolf). I could be mistaken in my assumption that Bendis is mocking previous iterations of the character, if not explicitly the character himself: if nothing else, why would Marvel’s most successful writer either put himself on the book or consent to be put on the book of a character he’s so dismissive of?
Sadly, I am at this point so distrustful of the guy I can see him taking this book on in precisely such a fashion because: (a) he wants to work with Alex Maleev on a book again, and Maleev wanted to draw Moon Knight; (b) earlier that same year, Fraction and Aja’s Hawkeye debuted to considerable acclaim and Bendis wanted to mimic/top his best friend’s accomplishment; (c) Bendis wanted to show he could make people sit up and take notice of any character he wrote, no matter how lame (a.k.a. the “Jack Kirby ‘Give me your poorest selling book'” Theory); and/or (d) Bendis really believed in this hook he had for the character, the conceit that Moon Knight’s MPD would manifest as three of Marvel’s most iconic heroes. (Hopefully, I arranged those items properly along the fraternity-to-hubris axis.)
Over the course of twelve issues, we have:
(a) Moon Knight dressing up as Spider-Man to start a fight in a strip club;
(b) the appearance of Echo, a character created by Bendis and David Mack, who is deaf and reads lips and is therefore perfectly suited to team up with a character whose mouth is completely obscured (which Bendis hangs a lantern on by having her say “take off your mask so I can read your lips!” a lot) and drawn by an artist who likes to position her facing away from a person’s face when she speaks.
(c) Moon Knight dressing up as Bullseye and torturing a potential employee to test their loyalty;
(d) Moon Knight and Echo beating the crap out of the Night Shift and then getting caught by the police because Echo can’t hear the sirens and can’t see Moon Knight passively standing there telling her “we have to go” because his mask is covering his face and of course he’s just going to stand there saying the same thing over and over without approaching her or waving at her or anything because how ya going to get a cliffhanger if people act like actual people;
(e) Moon Knight and Echo escaping from the cops, followed by Moon Knight kissing Echo, followed by Echo violentely punching him four times in the face, followed by Moon Knight asking “will you marry me?” as she runs off, followed by Moon Knight smiling ruefully and saying, “Look at me. Brave guy making jokes to a deaf girl behind her back” (instead of wondering if the reason why Echo treated like the perpetrator of a sexual assault was because she felt sexually assaulted);
(f) and on, and on, and on.
The villain behind everything is Count Nefaria, who we are told repeatedly is a “Thor level” bad guy but doesn’t do much more than fly around and shoot rays out of his eyes. Madame Masque shows up to beat up Moon Knight and Echo. Last issue cliffhangers play off the idea that Moon Knight is the guy driving the bus, narratively speaking, and the guy driving the bus is crazy. There’s an issue filled with flashbacks where Moon Knight gets his ex-SHIELD agent employee to build him webshooters, claws, and a shield, at the end of which the employee figures out who the voices might be in Moon Knight’s head. (This scene is especially obvious in a painful way.) Someone close to Moon Knight dies which inspires him to fight on against impossible odds. You get the idea, although it’s hard to really convey the fascination of watching someone write a comic book about a superhero with MPD when the person clearly doesn’t care about either the superhero or MPD. Although I don’t think Bendis consciously sat down to write a book that paints people with MPD as dangerous, unreliable, and violent, his utter laziness allowed him to construct a narrative that hammers homes those points repeatedly. If pressed, I’d say Bendis is trying to write something that kinda reminds him of Drive, something deliberately unsettling and odd. It’s a little bit like that old Mike Baron book, The Badger, but neutered and fat and unsurprising and easily self-pleased.
Was there anything at all worthwhile in the book? Yes. I gotta say Alex Maleev’s art featuring the character is genuinely lovely. I hadn’t thought of Maleev as a kind of Sienkiewicz clone, but clearly he and Hollingsworth are using Billy The Sink’s interpretation as a guide, mixing thick black inks and primary colors for when MK is being a brutal warrior, and an ethereally thin line and more varied colors for scenes of the character gliding out into the night. It’s a lot less visceral than Sienkiewicz—not only can you not replicate the initial shock of watching that guy’s ambition swell up like The Hulk and break everything in sight, Sienkiewicz was also restless and willing to throw in anything to keep himsefl from getting bored–but it’s more refined. I liked it.
Also, 2015 is the year Jeff gets in touch with his inner romantic as it pertains to his comic reading, and Maleev is pretty good at attractive people being attracted to each other. And despite my frustration with Bendis here, his ear hasn’t entirely turned to tin: every once in a while, he’ll have a bit of business like a policeman under fire hollering “somebody call somebody” that hits that Tarantino/Mamet sweet spot.
And he does craft at least one scene that justifies his conceit: while trying to escape the police, Moon Knight is hammered on all sides by his three personalities, each of whom has a different and inflexible take on how to handle the authorities. If the book had featured more scenes like that, I would’ve been a lot less disappointed in Bendis here than I was. As it is, between this and Age of Ultron (which he wrote next, but which I read prior to this), I’m really okay with never reading anything by the guy ever again. Smug complacency doesn’t sit well on anyone, but it’s especially ill-fitting on a creator with so many bad and lazy habits.
The Verdict in The Case of Jeff vs. Moon Knight #1-12: Bendis not only managed to take the fun out of hate reading this, but he made me hate myself a little for mostly wasting my time. I hereby sentence myself to forty hours of manga.
Not to be that guy but…Bendis’s Moon Knight launched in ’11 with Waid’s first Daredevil series and Rucka’s Punisher. Fraction’s Hawkeye launched the next year.
“obvious in its attempt to pander to their audience that it wished to be seen as a parody of pandering to their audience”
I still can’t decide if Dark Reign showed the degree to which Marvel’s editors and writers a)missed the point of stuff like Ellis’s Thunderbolts and Morrison’s Marvel Boy and/or b)have an ungodly amount of contempt for their audience. Probably a) and b), since I’m a cynic, but that’s still incredibly depressing.
“Smug complacency ”
That really does seem to be the mind set of most high level creators that work at Marvel, doesn’t it? And it seems that the only way to not fall victim to this mind set is to leave the company because that feels like the unofficial official company motto post-Civil War.
I used to be a big Bendis fan but at some point I really did get tired of reading the same thing over and over and over*, none of which would really come to any kind of satisfying conclusion either.
*Partly because he would literally repeat things he said in interviews in the very comics he was promoting, like word-for-word.
Arrghhhh….it launched in 2011? the damn Unlimited app listed it as 2012, I thought. Foo.
(Prefatory remarks written after the fact: Sorry in advance that my comment doesn’t really address your post, which I enjoyed greatly. I kind of get on a Bendis roll here.)
I’ve pointed this out many times before (although possibly not on this website), but it’s almost unreasonable to expect anything from Bendis circa 2009-2013. I say this not just because of his track record, but because of the fact that, at least during that period (and possibly still, I’ve stopped paying attention), he was turning out ten scripts per month in addition to Hollywood work, teaching, appearing at numerous conventions, and fulfilling his roles as Marvel Architect, as husband, and as father to several young children. It’s a simple math problem to see that he could not have devoted much time to any one script.
That being said, I jumped off the Bendis bus long before 2009. When I started picking up Ultimate Spider-Man trades as a teenager (2003 or thereabouts), it had a lot of things going for it. It didn’t read like anything else at the time, but still had this ambience of familiarity and nostalgia for me, having read Mark Bagley’s Amazing Spider-Man as a very young child. Plus, nerdy white teenager issues couldn’t have been more on point for where I was at. Even so, I didn’t make it past volume 7.
What was clear to me then in that title and has since become clear to me of all Bendis work is that there’s only ever the one mode. The gear never changes. If the characters or direction of the storyline don’t conform, their edges are sawn off to make them fit. A lot of writers have that “I’m telling one kind of story over and over” thing, and they can even be excellent writers (imo, with a thousand caveats, Morrison is essentially this kind of writer), but Bendis is special among them in that he will take on anything regardless of how much it disinterests him and/or jars with his aesthetic (e.g. a superhero with MPD), and even out of sheer carelessness bring his own characters and stories to places that disinterest him and/or jar with his aesthetic. Given enough time, Bendis will eventually write the complete works of Shakespeare, but only the scenes of Hamlet’s delay, with its bantering and tete a tetes, will be worth reading.
A limited range doesn’t have to be a bad thing. Look at Brubaker: crime, noir, horror-noir, spy-crime, superhero-noir, superhero-crime. Can you even imagine a Brubaker space opera?
(Gah. Now my brain is trying to insist that Thanos would work as a noir protagonist. Never let my brain write comics.)
Brubaker did space opera with his Uncanny arc. It was far from his best work but I’d put it above Bendis on GotG anyday.
I’d forgotten Brubaker did a X-run. Anything in there better than “far from his best”?
As for Bendis, at some point he’ll settle down to a reasonable workload and I’ll find out if the writer of Jinx, Alias, or early Powers is still in there.
Maybe not space opera, but I’d love to see Brubaker try a war comic.
That’s a great idea, Matthew. Although I think an extended period-piece murder-on-an-army-base story would be what I’d pull for from Brubaker. I think that would have the potential for so amazing work from him…
Great point about Bendis’s workload, Cass. It makes a ton of sense when you put it like that. And comparing him to a room full of monkeys with typewriters was fantastic, too.
Your timeline for giving up Bendis’ writing is pretty well the same as mine (I think I made it to issue 1 of Secret Invasion, though), along with your summation of what is probably his best work. But one thing I wonder is (to mirror Graeme’s entry below this) is the problem us, and not Bendis. Or, more particularly, is Bendis a victim of his own success. In short, by the time I give up Bendis I was Bendis-ed out and over familiar with his writing tics, to the point that I now find it really hard to re-read the Bendis work that I did like back in the day. Interestingly, the other writer this happened to was the equally prolific Chris Claremont. Is Bendis the 2000’s new Claremont, I wonder. But instead of excessive exposition and a repeated use of “I’m the best at what I do,” we have comic’s light Mamet dialogue and “Not like this!”
Having said all this, if they release a paperback omnibus addition of Alias to tie into the tv series, I’ll actually buy it. They probably won’t though. They seem to have released a paperback omnibus of the Pulse instead, which was a pale imitation of Alias.
Carey: First off, I misread your comment so I was quite excited to point you to the rereleased Alias omnibus…but it’s not paperback, and therefore not particularly cheap. It is good, though.
Comparing Claremont to Bendis is a great analogy (and I’ll throw in Smiling Stan as well) when talking about writers whose work can retroactively sour. That said, I do see glimpses of the Bendis I used to like, and still like. For me, I think Bendis’s success has forced him to make some decisions about his work, and I think some of those decisions have been to cut corners.
but I dunno. You could be right….
Have you read his x-men books? They are actually pretty great.
Agreed. Characters I’ve never cared about get their moments, and my favorites remind me why I love them. I can finally see the charm in 60’s-era X-men. Then again, Claremont X-men never did that much for me, so I don’t feel like Bendis is violating my childhood. Instead I get character banter that reminds me how much I love Justice League International.
Totally understand why some would dismiss anything Bendis. He definitely relies on his tropes, and keeps going back to his favorite tools in his fairly static arsenal. I also get that if he changed it up 180 degrees, he’d probably have a lot of fans calling for his head. None of it is high art, but his books are consistently more entertaining than that of most of his mainstream peers.
Miles Morales is still awesome, and tugs at my heart every month. Guardians is wacky and nerdy. I’m sure X-men isn’t going anywhere, but I love the ride. Similar to how I loved Aaron’s Wolvie & the X-Men. Not high art, but I keep coming back every month. And it’s not the EVERYTHING-YOU-KNOW-IS-WRONG or THE-HERO-HAS-NEVER-FACED-A-GREATER-THREAT bullpoop that’s made me weary of most other “successful” comics. Sure, that hyperbole is painted on his work by Marketing, but the books themselves seem completely ignorant of any marketing promises.
That said, never read his Moon Knight. So you might be right on the money regarding that one.
And regarding hearing his interviews, and seeing those quotes spoken by characters — I suspect he wrote the dialogue first, and it’s an easy go-to during interviews.
Even given all his flaws, “smug” “complacent” “bad” and “lazy” seem pretty harsh accusations coming from someone worshiping at the altar of Englehart :P
Wish I could delete that reply. No need to bash anyone else, in an attempt to make a point. Any “post comment” button needs a lag time, with a “read this again and think twice” warning before it shows the “OK, really post this” button.
Oh, shoot. I can’t quite tell what you’re referring to here on the comments dashboard but if you’re serious about wanting a comment deleted Das, drop me a line a pig[DOT]latin[ATT]gmail[D0T]com and I can delete any comment of yours for you that you want, if you want.
Wait, are you talking about that one casual aside about Claremont? Because that is the gentlest bash ever if so (and especially by Internet standards).
Nah, I felt guilty implying that Englehart was also smug, bad, and/or lazy. Should’ve just ended the sentence with “…seem pretty harsh accusations.” period.
You can call a creator’s work smug, lazy, and complacent without calling the creator themselves smug, lazy, and complacent. While many online commentators don’t know or care about the difference, it is important, because we generally don’t actually know these people and have no reason to judge their motivations and character. Whatever I may or may not think about Bendis’ writing, I don’t know him as a person, except for comments in interviews that are no more an accurate representation of his character than any other advertisement. I do know that his stories (for Marvel at least) tend to have monotonous dialogue that doesn’t really vary by different characters, scenes that have no purpose for the story or characters and seem pointless even by Seinfeld standards, disappointing resolutions that just end up as previews for other stories, and plot structure that uses super-power/time-travel as an excuse to use deus ex machina logic for any and all situations. Those are characteristics of a story that I would call lazy, regardless of wether or not the writer behind them was half-heartedly churning them out in a half-hour or laboring extensively over every word.
“By which, I mean that, if memory serves, Moon Knight was a little more of a thug in his first appearances in Werewolf by Knight…”
I’d read ‘Werewolf by Knight’, the ongoing adventures of a knight turned into a werewolf.
Ha, ha, ha! Oh, man. What a simpleton I am. Thanks for the catch, Ben. (Also, I’d probably read that, too.)
I read part of this at one time and thought it somewhat worked as a comedy, but completely ruined the character.
But yes, I tend to look for Bendis on creator-owned work only at this point. The X-Bendis volumes I’ve gotten from the library are uneven. Every other one is good, but not usually 2 in a row.
Marvel Now!!!!!!!!!! was pretty damn good as a bunch of titles, but only Bendis on X-Men made me think, FINALLY, that makes a lot of sense.
First thing in a long time I dig from Bendis. He’s not a very versatile creator, but when he’s on the right project, it just works for me.
Ok, here’s my question; how many times does Bendis use the word “break” (specifically the adjective form “broken”) in this series? Because he’s been using that word a lot in his recent projects, to the point where I not only notice it but become irritated that his vocabulary is as varied as Bane’s….
At this point, the only thing I think of when I think of Bendis is Jesse from Breaking Bad screaming “HE CAN’T KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH IT!”

Cutting of wooden building materials, during processing and inspection of product dimensions

We accept receipt inspection every time we receive it, but we can not use 0 ~ 25% of precision defects. Although I am not planning to be more severe than JIS standards, I will not accept it because it is within the standards. Just as compared with other manufacturers, the defective rate is low, so it is obviously inevitable. If you have a manufacturer that can be used with a sense of security with confidence, even if it is 1 to 20% higher, we would like to change the manufacturer.

The Grammy Award-winning act reportedly racked up well over a million dollars in ticket sales at the sold-out show in New York.
Damini Ogulu, popularly known as Burna Boy, a Nigerian iconic singer, songwriter, and performer, recently sold out at the iconic Madison Square Garden, and news of his ticket sales earnings has surfaced.
The heavyweight singer who made history on April 28, 2022, by becoming the first African and Nigerian to headline and sell-out at the historic venue gave a thrilling, mind-blowing, and highly energetic performance at his “One Night in Space” concert in New York, filling the 20,789-capacity MSG arena to the brim.
According to American financial, software, data, and media company Bloomberg, Burna Boy racked up about a whopping $1.6 million in ticket sales.
The African giant, after selling out iconic venues like the Madison Square Garden, State Farm Arena, and a slew of other venues across the world, has made it known that he would be headlining at least three stadium shows in 2023: the 40,000-capacity Paris La Defense in Paris, France, the 80,000-capacity London Stadium in the United Kingdom, as well as the 34,000-capacity Gelredone Arnhem in Arhem, the Netherlands.

Strictly Come Dancing went off with a bang last night, with two celebs topping the leaderboard while another received one of the lowest scores in the show's history.
Susannah Constantine, sadly was the winner of the third lowest score ever to be scored on the show, when she got a score of 12 for her Samba with Anton Du Beke.
The fashionista wore the craziest outfit yet to be seen on Strictly for the dance which did so badly, which was inspired by Carmen Miranda, and it had a big surprise when Anton was nowhere to be found, until he emerged from under Susannah's skirt.
Also in the show, Seann Walsh garnered some pretty major criticism from the judges for an "illegal chuck" when his partner Katya Jones' feet lifted off the floor for a moment.
Judge Craig Revel Horwood said to him: "Completely over the top. You were manhandling her rather than any style or sophistication.
"I didn’t like the illegal chuck at the end, either."
Bruno Tonioli joked that he was "throwing her with disregard" as he suggested the comedian had "broken" his partner on the first dance, while Head Judge Shirley Ballas focused in on his look, ordering him to "tidy up" for the ballroom.
Joe Sugg was also a focus of the show as he made some cheeky hand gestures to the audience, inviting them to play The Circle Game with him as he made an OK sign with his forefinger and thumb below his waist.
And Aljaz Skorjanec was forced to make a apology to his partner, Kate Silverton's husband, after the pair of them had a steamy snog on the dancefloor.
The camera quickly panned to Kate's husband Mike - and he looked absolutely flabbergasted as his wife shrieked with joy and embraced her dance partner.
"Hi baby," she said sheepisly afterwards, as Alijaz insisted they got her husband's "permission" for the kiss.
"He doesn’t look over the moon," Claudia Winkleman observed, so Alijaz quickly said: "I'm sorry!"
But fans will be wondering why the usual Sunday show is not on as is usually expected.
Claudia and Tess explained last night that no dancers would be going home, and their scores would be carried over to next week as is usual on the first week of the series.
As a result, there is no Sunday send-home, so no Sunday show this week.
But never fear, Strictly is back with business as usual next week!
Strictly Come Dancing continues at 6.30pm on Saturday, followed by a results shows on Sunday at 7.15pm.

I am the girl from Ohio. Ohio to Wofford? You may be wondering how in the world, I, the girl who lives right down the street from THE Ohio State ended up at a small, liberal arts school that is relatively unheard of by most Ohioans. Well here is the scoop:
Coming from a family where it is tradition to go to a small liberal arts school, I knew that just like the rest of my family, I wanted a small school, too. I also knew that the chilling temperatures I have experienced for six months of the year, every year since I was born was not going to continue if I had the option to go anywhere in this country for college. So, I decided early on that I would leave the Midwest for a more desirable climate. So, where else would I look, other than the sunny, sweet-tea drinking, and close to the ocean states of the Carolinas?
I grew up traveling to South Carolina, as both of my parents discovered and fell in love with Hilton Head in their college years. I knew at a very young age that I loved the southern culture; the door-holding gentleman, people with great manners and hospitality, and even better food was hard to resist. This love of the Carolina’s never faded and when it came time to finally start the college search, I was determined to research every single small school in the Carolina’s. It only took a few trips across the Mason-Dixon line to visit and tour other colleges and my mom running in to a Wofford Admissions Counselor in my hometown Blockbuster that I finally found Wofford.
My first visit was on a simmering hot (106 degrees) July day when I took a tour led by someone who would later become a friend at Wofford. There were relatively few students on campus, due to the summer break, but I loved everything I saw. The village, modeled after Seaside, Florida, the newly built Phase V apartments and classrooms, the history behind Old Main and the all-round feeling of campus was so exciting to me. This campus that I now am living on for the four greatest years of my life was so above and beyond anything I had seen at any other college campus.
My second visit only made my love for Wofford and my confidence that I would be a student here one day stronger. It was a picture perfect sunny day on Scholar’s Day. Wofford was playing Georgia Southern, a huge competitor in the SoCon at the time. The stands were filled, tailgating was in full swing, and the alumni children were joined by some Wofford students to “cardboard” sled down the hills by the football stadium. Everyone I saw had a huge smile on their face, and you could just tell that the people who went here years ago and the current students loved this place. It made me feel that the tradition here was stronger than strong, and that this was a place you would fall in love with and stay in love with for the rest of your life. It was then, on that November day that I decided I would be a Wofford Terrier the following August.
This is a decision I will never look back on.

Bulgaria expects to have a fiscal surplus equal to 1.3% of gross domestic product in the first half of the year, compared with a surplus of 2.7% over the same period a year ago, the finance ministry said on Tuesday.
The ministry, said it sees the coronavirus crisis cutting the fiscal surplus by 1.7 billion levs ($977.80 million) on an annual basis through June. It expects to end the year with a fiscal deficit of 3% of GDP.
So far the country has recorded a budget surplus of 1.3 billion levs, or 1.1% of GDP, in the first five months of the year, it said.
Government revenues were 17.6 billion levs at the end of May, down 1.1 billion levs from the same period in 2019. Spending was 16.3 billion levs, up from 15.7 billion a year ago, mainly due to an increase in public pensions and other social spending, the finance ministry said.
Fiscal reserves, held under a currency regime pegging the lev to the euro, stood at 10.2 billion levs at the end of May.
The government expects the coronavirus crisis to shrink the country’s small and open economy by 3% this year. The European Commission is less optimistic and sees Bulgaria’s economic output down by 7.2% in 2020.

The number of Alabama women participating in politics is growing, and one Birmingham-based group is working to make sure that keeps happening.
Leading Edge Institute is trying to equip college women to make a difference in their home state.
Many women, especially Southern ones, are reluctant to speak up and don’t emerge as leaders like their male counterparts, executive director Benga Harrison told The Birmingham News.
“A lot of women are very bright, very motivated and don’t want to stay in Alabama — they feel like they are shut down here,” she said.
Women’s Policy Research, a nonprofit group in Washington that tracks women’s participation in politics, ranked Alabama 41st in 2000. By 2002, the state was up to 37th, and it moved to 24th in 2004.
Alabama ranked first for women in statewide elected executive offices with five females, and it ranked fifth for having 75 percent of females registered to vote.
Leading Edge Institute began leadership training six years ago. It trains up to 36 young women each year, nominated and paid for by their schools.
To help keep young women in Alabama and involve them in state issues, the institute exposes the participants to issues such as Black Belt poverty, education funding and constitutional challenges. They hear from some of the top female leaders and work on community projects.
Christina Bryant, 20, of Wenonah, has realized that her extroverted personality isn’t the problem she thought it was. Institute contacts helped Bryant land an internship in the office of U.S. Rep. Artur Davis, D-Ala.
“I was concerned I was the Black stereotype — too loud or silly,” said Bryant, a communications major at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. “It took me a while to become comfortable with that. For me, it was learning how to regulate it.”
The institute has reshaped some students’ long-term plans.
UAB graduate Lucy Jones was ready to move to Washington before she became part of the 2001 LEI group. Leaders urged her to channel her political aspirations at home instead of leaving.
“I’m absolutely going to come back to Alabama and work on public policy for the rest of my life,” said Jones, now a law student at Georgetown University interested in tax reform and constitutional reform. “Both of those issues were introduced to me through LEI. LEI demonstrated to me that there were people fighting every day to make Alabama a better place.”

Identifying the appropriate dental practice isn’t solely about ease or cost-effectiveness. It also involves discovering where you feel at ease and have faith in the treatment you obtain.
When you’re on the hunt for it, there are four fundamental attributes you should be aware of to guarantee a superior dental encounter. These characteristics encompass a dental office that is proactive in patient education, boasts comprehensive expertise, harnesses advanced technology, and is committed to ongoing learning.
#1 – Educates Patients
Firstly, a preferred dental office, like your ideal dentist in Garland, TX, should prioritize patient education. This means they take the time to explain procedures, discuss oral health issues, provide preventative measures, and answer any questions you might have.
With knowledge comes empowerment, which can greatly improve oral health practices at home.

The worst thing you could say about Eric Lamar Wells, 26, is not that he's a veteran pimp. It's not even that the unsuccessful telemarketer sold his community-college girlfriend, the mother of his infant daughter, in regular prostitution deals for living expenses that included a daily cocaine habit. During nine days in April 2012, the Stockton resident repeatedly sold two girls, ages 13 and 17, for sex in several states, as well as near the Happiest Place On Earth, a.k.a. Disneyland.
Now residing in federal custody inside the Santa Ana Jail, Wells doesn't dispute he has worked as a flesh peddler for at least four years. He doesn't deny he transported minors across Nevada, Arizona and California state lines for prostitution purposes. He admits his business used the Internet, photographs of the scantily clad girls and a lie—both were presented as 18-year-olds—to target anonymous men eager to pay cash for sex with teenagers.
A year ago, an observant Anaheim cop made a pedestrian stop that began the unraveling of Wells' prostitution ring; the pimp entered into a plea deal with Assistant United States Attorney Mark P. Takla in exchange for a reduction in charges. The undisputed crimes called for a maximum punishment of life in prison and, because of the use of underage girls, a mandatory minimum incarceration period of a decade, according to federal sentencing guidelines. By signing the 21-page plea document, both he and Robert Michael Helfend, his Los Angeles-based criminal defense attorney, confirmed the government's solid, factual basis for guilt and their own awareness of the severe sentencing consequences.
But for reasons that are sealed in court, Helfend left the case in January, and Todd W. Burns, a new, taxpayer-funded defense lawyer from San Diego, was appointed to represent Wells. Burns not only brought fresh vigor to the pimp's defense, but he also rattled the foundations of the government's case, his client's guilty plea and the constitutional righteousness of pending punishment.
Burns this month asked U. S. District Court Judge Cormac J. Carney to declare unconstitutional heightened penalties for transporting minors for prostitution because, in his view, the government should prove a pimp knew of the minors' ages before the commission of the crime. To the defense lawyer, Wells admitted in his guilty plea that he “recruited” and used minors in his interstate sex business, but he didn't specifically acknowledge he knowingly used underage girls. It is the pimp's story that the girls told him they were both 18, so he believed them and didn't discover the truth until just before their arrests.
Takla treated the defense posturing as the legal equivalent of hogwash. The prosecutor believes Wells knew he was using minors and that offenders in such cases deserve heightened punishment. Plus, he found no precedent for the defense's sentencing stance.
“The defendant should have raised [his arguments] prior to his guilty plea,” wrote Takla, who pointed out the defendant admitted in the plea deal that he specifically violated the federal statute banning transportation of minors for prostitution.
If Carney—who has a reputation for occasionally making startling decisions—agreed to avoid punishing Wells for using underage girls, the results would be monumental for the pimp. The penalty for transporting an adult across state lines for prostitution carries a mandatory maximum 10-year term. That punishment converts to a mandatory minimum of 10 years in prison if the prostitute was a minor.
As the punishment day approached, Burns also unleashed a flurry of accusations to lessen Wells' culpability and increase responsibility for the crimes on Tonisha Alecia Moore, the pimp's 24-year-old ex-girlfriend, mother of his child and co-defendant. According to Wells, he was trying to focus on San Joaquin Delta Community College studies in 2009 when he met Moore, already a convicted prostitute in Oakland, on campus. The two became obsessed with cocaine, had a baby and launched their sex operation.
Wells additionally claims he didn't devise the Internet ads to sell the minors or confiscate the illicit earnings. He insists Moore played those roles while he was some sort of semi-interested bystander. In kind, the 6-foot-3, 170-pound prostitute has gone from defending Wells in the early stages of the case to casting him as the mastermind with a controlling, violent streak.
Whoever is right, we know that Wells and Moore landed in Las Vegas on April 15, 2012. There, they found the two teenage girls. Far from being innocent angels on a path to sainthood, both were already working as relatively savvy, hardened street hookers, according to the pimp.
Burns underscored to Carney that the 13-year-old girl possessed the physical attributes (5-foot-8, 125 pounds) of an adult, regularly smoked marijuana, could count pregnancy as an experience, collected prior assault charges for attacks on adults, won expulsion from middle school for fighting, stole from Johns and was a full member of a Bloods-affiliated criminal street gang.
The 17-year-old? According to the defense, she and the other minor had been robbing customers together on their own for months. The girl was looking for her third consecutive pimp on the Vegas strip, when, while working on the side of Las Vegas' Boulder Highway, she waved down Wells. He stopped his vehicle, eventually bought food for both girls and made his business pitch without the threat of violence.
At the June 26 sentencing hearing inside the Ronald Reagan Federal Courthouse, Carney “greatly applauded” Burns' constitutional arguments against the mandatory minimum as “very interesting” and said he hopes the Ninth Circuit will eventually address the topic. But the judge rejected the claim, saying Congress “rightfully” placed “heavy penalties” on the sexual exploitation of children. He then asked the defendant if he had any comments.
“What I did was wrong,” said a weeping Wells, who was chained and guarded by two U.S. marshals. “I am ashamed. I have a 3-year-old daughter, and God forbid, if my daughter had to walk in those shoes [of a teenage prostitute] . . . I've changed.”
The judge said he was moved by the statement and noted character reference letters had been “glowing,” but concluded he could not ignore the “sale of girls' bodies and the destruction of their dignity. . . . No rational person would commit this crime.”
Wells' uncle, who attended the hearing, told Carney he'd been a violent robber on cocaine early in his life and had turned his life around after “my father told me I was no good” on his deathbed. Calling for leniency, the relative promised, “[Wells] can change just like I did.”
Burns pleaded for Carney to issue a seven-year punishment as an appropriate deviation from the sentencing-range requirement of a 135-to-168-month prison trip. Both the judge and the prosecutor were willing to waive the guidelines, especially because the pimp acknowledged his guilty early. The next time Wells can see freedom will be 120 months from now.
“It's really a sad day,” observed Carney.

Putin Steps Up Crackdown on Opposition Press
Putin is not satisfied, of course, to ruthlessly suppress just mainstream media; he’s declared war on the blogosphere as well. Russia’s most-read blogger, Rustem Adagamov (who blogs on Live Journal as “Drugoi” or “The Other”), accuses the Kremlin of “unparalleled police brutality” as it escalates its attacks on opposition political demonstrations. He proclaims: “The Internet is the last free territory -- but it won't stay that way for long.”
Last week, there was a horrifying example of just what Adagamov meant: one of Putin’s ranking goons felt confident enough to openly brag that his forces were intercepting and reading e-mail correspondence sent by opposition political leaders, and using the contents to affect preemptive arrests and shut down demonstrations.
That was nothing, however, compared to what Putin himself had to say. Putin openly stated his forces would crack the skulls of any opposition party activists who dared to assemble in public without official police permission, and once again he ordered the arrest of former First Deputy Prime Minister Boris Nemtsov, who was taken into custody for doing nothing more than distributing his scholarly criticism of the Putin government’s performance at the outskirts of a rally.
The response of the Obama administration to all this neo-Soviet horror has been truly nauseating and unsettling.
A press release from the Clinton State Department says that Obama’s people are having a “conversation” about its “concerns” relating to the repeated violations of the Russian constitution, which contains the same right-of-assembly provisions as its U.S. counterpart. No mention of Putin’s remark, no mention of Nemtsov’s name, no direct support for the activists who are risking their lives to defend the American values set forth in the Russian constitution.
I would say we have a coward for a president, but to say so would imply that Mr. Obama believes in American values enough to stand up for them. Increasingly, that seems difficult to believe. Obama is not just silent on Russia, he’s been actively helping to legitimize the Putin regime, most recently by munching cheeseburgers with Putin’s figurehead president Dmitry Medvedev.
It’s heartening, however, to see that -- at long last -- the Republican Party has awoken from its stupor. Representative Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, the top Republican on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, stated bluntly:
Putin’s overt and public threat to beat democracy protestors has taken Russia’s ongoing assault against human rights and democratic rights to a whole new, disturbing level [and Russia] must be held accountable for its crackdown on all forms of dissent -- including the murders of journalists. Responsible nations cannot overlook Russia’s downward spiral towards tyranny and oppression, and must deny Russia membership in the World Trade Organization and all of the other perks which it does not deserve.
Hopefully, the GOP has now realized that standing up for American values is not just the right thing to do, it’s good politics. Americans want their nation to stand behind its creed, and they know that their best future lies in a world of freedom and open competition in which their efforts can be fully recognized and rewarded. If Barack Obama doesn’t share that view, it’s time to teach him the error of his ways.

"Chewink! Chewink!" a sprightly sound
Ringing across the bushy ground,
A worker's challenge bold and free,
The alto call of industry.
Deep in the underbrush is heard
The scratching of the busy bird;
Behold, with energetic heaves,
Both feet at once, he flings the leaves.
But ever, pausing on the brink
Of new descent—Chewink! Chewink!—
He shouts his slogan clear and strong,
And glorifies his work with song.
No dreary drudgery for him,
A very dandy gay and trim,
With black and white and ruddy brown,
The smartest gentleman in town!
Ah, brother toilers, bent and worn
Beneath your burdens all forlorn,
Your work's a martyrdom, you think?
Just hear that bird: "Chewink! Chewink!"

Pediatrics bones and fractures are different than those in adults. A common wrist injury in kids is known as a “buckle fracture”. While adult bones tends to crack like a piece of chalk, the forearm bones (radius and ulna) of kids tend to “buckle”, or collapse and deform like a piece of Play-Doh.
The degree of “displacement” (the shift or angulation of the bone pieces) along with the child’s age determines the ideal treatment. Minimally displaced fractures usually heal uneventfully in a cast or splint. Occasionally, the fracture fragments are shifted or notably angled. In these cases, setting the bone may be required to minimize growth disturbances and optimize function of the hand going forward.
Throughout treatment, it is important to continue to move the fingers to prevent stiffness and minimize swelling. After the fracture heals, therapy may be needed to recover motion of the wrist, strength, and function.


Just more proof that Catholicism is the Whore Religion leading Billions to Hell!
Breitbart – The head of the Jesuit order, (Black Pope and chief Luciferian) Father Arturo Sosa, has denied the existence of the devil as a real being, suggesting rather that humans invented Satan as a “symbolic” figure to represent evil.
In an interview with the Spanish newspaper El Mundo, Father Sosa was asked whether he believes that evil is a process of the human psychology or comes from a superior being.
“We have created symbolic figures such as the devil to express evil,” Father Sosa said. “Social conditioning can also represent this figure, since there are people who act like this because they are in an environment where it is difficult to act to the contrary.”
So why do the Jesuits, who the Black Pope is head, have a device named LUCIFER, on the largest Telescope in America? Who are they looking for? Lucifer, who he says is a figment of peoples imagination?
This is not the only thing this devil questions about the Bible. Also see this: Black Pope indicates Jesus was Wrong about Marriage between a Man a Woman and Divorce.
Continuing with Excerpts:
In an interview in February, the Jesuit priest suggested that different interpretations of the Bible can all be valid since no one really knows what Jesus said anyway.
“It would be necessary to start a nice reflection on what Jesus really said,” Father Arturo Sosa said in his interview with Swiss Vatican journalist Giuseppe Rusconi, since “at that time no one had a tape recorder to record his words.”
“What we do know is that Jesus’ words need to be contextualized. They were expressed with a language, in a specific setting and were directed to someone in particular,” he said.
Asked whether Jesus’ words have an “absolute value,” Father Sosa said that scholars have been struggling “to understand exactly what Jesus meant to say.”
“The word is relative, the Gospel is written by human beings, it is accepted by the Church which is made up of human persons,” he said.
“It is true,” he said, “that no one can change the word of Jesus, but we need to know what it was!” Source: Breitbart.


Over 100 empty homes North Kesteven have been brought back into use thanks to a council scheme that’s filling a growing demand in the district.
North Kesteven District Council is consistently achieving it’s goals with more than 100 abandoned houses transformed into family homes since 2011.
The target of 20 in 2015-16 was exceeded, with 21 achieved.
The council has said the results are testament to the hard work of staff who deal with vacant properties, some of which can be left for several years.
Their jobs can include identifying who owns the building, planning and costing renovations, working with the owners to let the properties out and taking enforcement action when necessary.
The number of empty properties in the district has fallen significantly – from 570 in October 2008 to 372 in October 2015.
This follows a national trend where the number of empty homes is now at its lowest level since records began – dropping from 318,642 in 2004 to 203,595 in 2015.
Council officers noted homes that remain empty can cause a range of issues for the district and the people who live nearby – from social problems in communities to pushing up prices with fewer houses on the market.
Properties become vacant for a number of reasons, including a change in personal circumstances, inheriting a property or the ill health of an owner.
Councillor Stewart Ogden, Executive Board Member with responsibility for housing, said: “I am pleased that we have consistently achieved our target for bringing empty properties back into use.
“While this can be a complex and tricky process because of the number of reasons why a property is left vacant for a long period of time, we are committed to continuing this work and our officers will engage with homeowners to make sure they are aware of the help and options available to them.”
Alongside its work on empty properties, NKDC has a housebuilding programme that aims to bring 500 new homes over the next ten years to the district.
Anyone concerned about an empty property can contact the council by calling 01529 414155.


Re: ups batteries
UPS batteries "don't last long" in UPS service because they are usually stressed by high currents. In the case of the one label in the photos, it is also from using a string of undersized batteries, choosing portability over run time.
I use selected large UPS pulls at low current for a long time. I can power a camper carefully on one 12-volt pull for a couple of days of boondocking without recharging. If you had the ability to test the individual batteries and find good and matched ones off of the pallet, it might be good to pick through the lot, and then sell the rest to a recycler for the materials.
HOWEVER, the photos of this lot show at least some of the batteries with four vents per case. That would mean this particular bunch of batteries that are visible would likely be 8 volts each (2 volts per cell). Great for making 24-volt strings, for 12 volts not so much. The UPS spec shown is 120 volts DC, 7.2 AH. The 120 volts would be fifteen 8-volt batteries in series. 7.2 AH is a pathetically small number. That means that each battery is probably 8 volts, 7.2 AH. You could parallel battery strings to get more AH of storage. But there seem to be several UPS units and a mix of battery sizes on the pallet, so the photos and specs may be a mish-mash.
The pulls I have are 12 volts 140 AH each, removed from a 288-volt system, but 100 AH or 120 AH is more common. You may also find UPS strings made up of 6-volt batteries (3-cell) or 2-volt single cells instead. These can be wired in series to get the desired DC voltages. The capacities of deep-cycle designs are usually specified at the 20C rate (100 AH = 5 amps for 20 hours), but I have seen a few batteries rated at 10C (100AH = 10 amps for 10 hours). If you draw more than standard current, you will get less than rated amp-hours out. If you draw less than standard current, you will get more than the rated AH to full discharge.
Also, sealed batteries cannot take the higher charging voltages that wet cells can. A bus alternator could kill these without some kind of voltage control. The limit is usually 13.5 charging volts on a 6-cell, 12 volt battery string. If you overcharge them to the point that they vent gas, the capacity is permanently lost. You can't just add distilled water to fill it back up like a wet cell.
Done right, UPS pulls can be an inexpensive option for assembling large-capacity battery plants. But using them is not just as simple as hooking up car batteries. And you should have some means of testing the remaining capacity of each battery to weed out failing cells.
Someone said "Making good decisions comes from experience, experience comes from bad decisions." I say there are three kinds of people: those who learn from their mistakes, those who learn from the mistakes of others, and those who never learn.

Families of missing and murdered Indigenous people call for action
[anvplayer video=”5183666″ station=”998122″]
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – Families of missing and murdered Indigenous people’s cases came forward to share their stories, and call for more action.
The call comes days after federal and state agencies went in front of the Not Invisible Act Commission to discuss the handling of missing and murdered Indigenous people’s cases.
The names of victims rang through the courtyard of the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center Saturday morning. Some families came from across the country to call for action.
“There’s a total of 17 of us came from Washington to be here for the events happening, and make awareness known of the missing murdered Indigenous relatives,” said a family from Washington, D.C..
Former survivors like Kimberly Wahpepah expressed the importance of continuously telling these stories.
“If we don’t talk about it, it’s like it will be forgotten, and it’s hard. It’s traumatizing over and over again. But at the same time, it’s healing,” said Kimberly Wahpepah, a human trafficking survivor.
Wahpepah herself is still recovering from her past. But with the support of families from these events, and her new hobby, she says she’s finding new ways to heal through cooking.
“It’s not just salsa, it’s made out of love, it’s made out of my healing. It’s made out of the things I have gone through, it’s a dream for me,” said Wahpepah.
Finding new ways to heal, and keeping awareness alive.
