Abstract-Due to increase the terrorist activities throughout the world, it is very important to control and monitor their activities and quickly execute the required plan accordingly. This paper presents a smart Global Positioning System (GPS) based surveillance robotic system using Raspberry Pi for security application and remote sensing. This robotic system is fully controlled wirelessly via internet web browser and android apps. A camera is attached with a gripper, so that it can view the surrounding environment and disposed the object under consideration. An ultrasonic sensor and GPS module is attached with it which helps in measuring the distance and tracking the location continuously. The whole system is implemented on raspberry pi 3 which has Linux OS and the python language is used to write a program of the various peripherals of this robotic system. Video surveillance is the process of monitoring a situation, an area or a person. This generally occurs in a military scenario where surveillance of borderlines and enemy territory is essential to a country’s safety. Human surveillance is achieved by deploying personnel near sensitive areas in order to constantly monitor for changes. But humans do have their limitations, and deployment in inaccessible places is not always possible. There are also added risks of losing personnel in the event of getting caught by the enemy. With
advances in technology over the years, it is possible to remotely monitor areas of importance by using robots in place of humans.
Now a days, Artificial Intelligence analysis targets principally on the style and development of autonomous and compliant movable robots for unstructured and natural environments like planet surfaces instead of structured industrial environments. These robots will accomplish the tasks like security, police work in unstructured and natural environments. This category of robots will be used for tasks within the venture of some environments where human isn't capable of monitoring .

surveillance, by the introduction of types of Closed Circuit Cameras. These have assisted in solving crime scenes and yet, the crime rate has not reduced because of the immobility of the surveillance equipments. In any given hostage situations security cameras are the first to be targeted by the felons to protect their identity. So the need for the development of mobile surveillance equipments is at stake. This paper deals in the development of a mobile robot capable of capturing real-time images and videos for surveillance. As by its name, Snitch is capable of going beyond enemy lines to know their secrets and identities for added tactical advantage for its user. Mobility is a major factor of Snitch, and it has to surpass the current hurdles in the field of mobile robotics. There was a boom in development of mobile robots and their capabilities in doing house-hold works like vacuum cleaning to military applications like disarming explosives. BigDog robot  , RoboSapien  are some of the mobile robots developed in the last decade that are capable of doing a specific task, but most of these robots are capable of functioning only in a controlled environment and are confined only to the horizontal surface. But few robots are capable of climbing on to the vertical surface like Caterpillar Robot . They use Bernoulli Effect, Tracked Wheel Mechanism, Electrically Controllable Adhesion technology, Electrostatic Adhesion Force, Aerodynamic Attraction and Vacuum suction  to achieve desired adhesive force to climb on vertical surfaces. But most of them lack the ability to transit from one dimension to the other without any human effort. The robot described in this paper is capable of moving on both horizontal and
vertical surface with ease and transit between two surfaces automatically without the need of human help to achieve hassle free mobility while performing the tasks at hand . As the growth rate of crime has been increased in past years, as a result, everyone is concerned about their safety and security. Due to this reason, people started to consider the significance of surveillance systems . The majority of the people are doing Internet Protocol (IP) based installations rather than analog because of IP-based installations are from anywhere . In order to make the IP-based systems affordable for the people having a low budget, we need to develop a system which is cost effective and portable. This paper describes the system which acts as a robot .This robot uses raspberry pi model B for making this real-time surveillance possible by providing the installing and processing high resource software's which makes it possible to live streaming & controlling the robot.
II. PROPOSED SYSTEM
This project aims to develop a robot which can be used for video surveillance & monitoring which can be controlled through a GUI interface. The control mechanism is provided with a video transmission facility. The video transmission is practically achieved through high-speed image transmission. Initially, the robot will be equipped with a camera which will capture the scenes and transfer the images to the server on which the user will be controlling and watching the live feed.

A 900MHz quad-core ARM Cortex-A7 CPU with 1GB RAM. It is also equipped with two IR obstacle sensors which allow it to see the obstacles that you can’t, because well, you’re not there. It will detect an object and if the object detected, it will change its direction. As stated before, the robot has quite a few sensors on board. It also has a camera which can be used for video surveillance of human beings. This system has also used a motion sensor to detect human movement. If a human is detected, the system will enable a camera module. It also has an L293 motor driver to allow sufficient current to power the motors via the Raspberry pi GPIO. We have established IoT server which enables to controlled robot from a remote place.
Figure 1: Block diagram of the proposed model
A. DC Motor Driver
L293D is a dual H-bridge motor driver integrated circuit (IC). Motor drivers act as current amplifiers as they take a low-current control signal and provide a high current signal. This high current signal is used to drive the motors. L293D contains two inbuilt H-bridge driver circuits used to drive the motors. The DC motors can be driven simultaneously i.e. Both Forward or backward direction in its common mode of operation.
B. USB CAMERA
The camera board is a small PCB that connects to the CSI-2 camera port on the Raspberry Pi using a short ribbon cable. It provides connectivity for a camera capable of capturing still images or video recordings. The camera connects to the Image System Pipeline (ISP) in the Raspberry Pi‟s System On Chip (SoC), where the incoming camera data is processed and eventually converted to an image or video on the SD CARD.
C. SD Card
The Raspberry Pi 2 Model B (second generation) require the smallest one, the MicroSD.SD cards come in a range of storage sizes. Generally, micro SD card we require is more than 2GB.
III. WORKING PRINCIPLE
Available online: https://edupediapublications.org/journals/index.php/IJR/ P a g e | 4839
(Graphical User Interface) forward, backward, right, left, stop and camera. When the user gives a particular input from the webpage, it will be stored in a text file on the server, at the robot end python script is running continuously which will read that text file and make movement decision according to user input. Raspberry pi will give output to L293D which will be used for controlling direction of motor according to received input from Raspberry pi.
Hence when the user clicks on the forward button, the robot will move in the forward direction and website will redirect to the index.html page so that user can give another command. Let’s say if the user hits the right button, in this case, only one motor (back-left motor) will be enabled and the robot will move in the right direction.
In order to turn on camera user will have to click on Turn On button provided in GUI. Once camera gets turned on, user able to see the front view from robot by pressing the camera button. The user can see the front view of the camera from anywhere just user need to have connected to the internet. We have implemented a python script which turned on camera automatically when the object is detected by IR sensor.
The system has been implemented and the following results have been observed.
Figure 2: Experimental implementation
We have flash Raspbian OS in micro SD card. Raspbian is a free operating system based on Debian optimized for the Raspberry Pi hardware. An operating system is the set of basic programs and utilities that make your Raspberry Pi run. We have to control robot from webpage so we need to install necessary package related to server.
For installation of the apache server do following steps
sudo apt-get install apache2 –y
To allow your Apache server to process
PHP files you’ll need to install PHP5 and the PHP5 module for Apache. Type the following command to install these:
Sudo apt-get install php5
After installing apache2 server on
raspberry pi we can test it by running
following link from browser.
Available online: https://edupediapublications.org/journals/index.php/IJR/ P a g e | 4840 Browse to the default web page either on the Pi
or from another computer on the network and you should see the following:
Figure 3: Web page in Raspberry Pi
For live streaming the user should select the live streaming option, the live streaming is monitored through the HTML page designed.
Figure 4: Live streaming through web page
At the time of war where it can be used to collect information from the enemy
terrain and monitor that information at a far secure area, and safely devise a plan for the counter attack.
Tracking locations of terrorist organizations and then plan an attack at a suitable time.
Making video surveillance of any disaster affected area where human beings can’t go.
In this paper a variety of surveillance technique are discussed which consist of development of different robots using the raspberry-pi technology. For each of the robot detailed discussion consists of the working of the approaches which are used to fulfill requirements of the surveillance. This also includes the advantages and shortcomings of all developed robots. Some of the techniques work only for small areas or for some specific environmental conditions which overcome by the other robots. The surveillance robot serves as a security monitoring device which replaces the human security at less critical areas where humans are really not necessary without compromising security. The outcome of this project deals with the recorded evidences of images when an unusual activity occurs and alerts to the remote host immediately.

JV Ejercito hates government’s motorcycle barrier requirement
As a fellow rider, he knows this is just bad and unsafe.
Former Senator JV Ejercito could not understand government’s rule requiring motorcycle owners to set up their backride barriers just so they can ferry a passenger around Metro Manila. For him, it’s bad policy.
“While the effort of Angkas to come up with a barrier made of good materials to make it “safer”, this barrier has become a SYMBOL OF UNNECESSARY OVER REGULATION. Hindi na po talaga kailangan ito!,” the politiko said.
“‘Wag na tayo gumawa ng regulasyong dagdag pahirap. Mahirap na po ang buhay.”

(CBS News) Sylvester Stallone is opening up about his son, Sage, whoat age 36.
During an interview, which aired Tuesday on "Good Morning America," the 66-year-old actor said, "It's tough. It's very very tough. It's a horrible situation but, time, hopefully will heal and you try to get through it. It's something that's a reality in life."
Stallone appeared on ABC's morning show to promote the upcoming movie, "The Expendables 2," which hits theaters Friday. He sat alongside fellow cast members, including Arnold Schwarzenegger, during the segment.
He said that spending some time on work has helped, explaining, "It's important to get back and try to start re-living your life. Otherwise you can go into a spiral."
On Monday, Stallone, his wife and their daughters attended the U.K. premiere of "The Expendables 2" in London. He previously bowed out of promotion for the movie in the U.S.
Stallone's son, who appeared in "Rocky V," died at his Los Angeles-area home. The cause of death is not yet known.

WICHITA FALLS (KFDX/KJTL) — The Sheppard Spouses Club will host its two-day shopping event November 13 and 14.
Hangar Holiday was started in 1984 at Sheppard Air Force Base, but as the years passed, the event became so popular it was moved from the hangar to the MPEC.
Over 225 vendors will be available with things like baskets, quilts, food items, coins and collectibles.
It all starts Saturday, November 13, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and continues Sunday, November 14, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Admission is free with a non-perishable donation for local and base food banks.
Profits will benefit military spouses and dependent children with the Sheppard Spouses Club annual scholarship and grants.


There are a few items to be aware of that might not come to mind while
visiting other areas of the country. Besides the hazards of driving amongst
so many senior citizens, there are other dangers you should be award of:
Police cars have flashing blue AND red lights. If you question whether you are being pulled over by a legitimate officer, then keep driving and get to a well-lit populated area, and call 911.
If you are bumped from behind, don't get out to exchange information. Just write down the license number and go to a populated area. Call the police if you are suspicious.
International tourists: Be aware if you go to the exchange center that there may be people looking to take your money if you make it easy. Don't count it or flash it in public.
Florida is generally a safer area than most other big cities but, as you would anywhere, be aware of your surrounding, and use common sense.
Back to Hurricanes. When Hurricane Andrew roared across the park in August 1992 with 164 mph winds, Everglades National Park was severely damaged and was temporarily closed. The park's trees were the most dramatically affected. More than 70,000 acres of mangrove forest was flattened, along with a number of mature hardwood hammocks and between 25 and 40 percent of the pines.
Also hit hard were park employees, over half of whom lost their homes. The original landmark visitor center was also destroyed, along with many of the man-made structures such as boardwalks and visitor information displays.
The effect of the storm on the park's wildlife population varied from species to species. All of the 32 radio-collared deer that were part of an ongoing study survived. Also, resident populations of white ibis and egrets seemed unaffected, as were the few remaining Florida panthers that still use the park.
On the other hand, alligators, which were nesting in August, were less fortunate. About 25 percent of that year's newly hatched young were in nests destroyed by the storm. In addition, about 10 percent of the known wading bird rookeries were in the direct path of the storm and some were destroyed.
Big storms are not new to a habitat adapted to a hurricane-prone climate. Interpretive signs near Flamingo have for many years pointed out remnants of great trees blown down by Hurricane Donna in 1960. Though most species recover after storms, the process can sometimes take a decade or longer.

Rodger Erker, president of the Greater Tulsa Association of Realtors, said he and his colleagues have experienced an uptick in sales over the last month, and he's hopeful that will continue.
"People are starting to regain their confidence," he said. "I think people are getting tired of putting off buying a house."
Rather than experience any sudden upswings, he expects the recovery to be slow but steady.
Additionally, he feels that the rock-bottom interest rates should stick around for a while longer.
"Unless something drastic happens, I'm not sure much could happen to cause them to go up," he said. "During election years, rates tend to stay where they are."
Erker believes that home sales in all price ranges will improve, particularly the $200,000 to $500,000 range, which was especially hard-hit during the recession.
Bill Butts, president of the Home Builders Association of Greater Tulsa, said he feels home construction is also headed for a more positive year based on early indications from builders.
"Several builders are already looking for a prosperous 2012," he said.
Butts said that higher consumer confidence, low interest rates and a relatively strong local economy should help lift home construction over last year, which was down 17 percent from 2010 through November.
Additionally, a few more builders are taking a risk and building speculative homes in hope they'll find buyers later, though that number is still far lower than custom jobs, he said.
"There's some builders starting to put some spec homes out there, and they are selling," Butts said.
Like home sales, Butts expects the rate of home construction growth will be moderate.

Top 10 Worst Canadian Prime Ministers
Describing this imbecile has been very well articulated by many comments posted here, well done. Their is just so many very valid and important reasons that this narcissistic fully grown people kind idiot child should not be governing Canada. His endless unethical corruption scandals along with his inept unqualified incompetence in managing or accomplishing anything of substantial value are more then enough reason to oust this fool from government. But frankly it's the staggering debt accumulation he has completely unnecessarily inflicted upon Canadian citizens which has indebted this country for decades that is the most damaging. He is a shameful disgrace.
Truly a disgrace. How could anyone so unqualified and incompetent conduct themselves with such arrogance. The inquiry into weather invoking the emergency act was justified is an example. Sad there seems to be no real consequences for his continuous corruption. The division he has created among Canadian citizens is unforgivable. The massive ongoing spending of this government just keeps going despite 40 year high inflation. The federal debt a he has accumulated is more the all prior governments in history. Canada's reputation and credibility in the world has been so damaged by this narcissistic fool. Yes truly a disgrace.
Worst by far in my life time. Hard to believe Canadians continue to vote for such an incompetent and completely unqualified wannabe. He truly has divided Canadians and been a major contributor in destroying credibility in his paid media. People must stop watching mainstream media and learn alternative ways to become accurately informed. I think at least 80% of media sources are varying degrees of left wing and a large % of people buy the narrative. Trudeau knows this and exploits it at every opportunity. He attempts to go after alternative media sources with his censorship bills. Name calls with every opportunity but virtually never accomplishes anything meaningful or beneficial to the citizens. He is a arrogant socialist tyrant and his actions clearly show this constantly. Must vote this creep out before he racks up more and more debt. The damage in already done. The guys gotta go.
Most corrupt incompetent debt creating government in Canadian history. Spends lavishly on himself and his government entourage as they on continuously fly around the world spending nights in $6000 a night hotels, while he carbon taxes the taxpayers of which 50% are forced to cut back on life necessities due 40 year high inflation he has contributed to producing. He is a narcissistic inept unqualified douche that was should never have been elected. As has be stated here in several posts, the apathetic need to wake up and VOTE this CREEP OUT.
He hated alberta and tried to nationalize the energy sector like a socialist dictator does. He created so much east/west division in Canada. He implemented the war measures act to quell the flq crisis. He ran huge deficits year after year which had massive negative consequences on subsequent governments ability to provide services and infrastructure spending due to decades of restricted government spending. Sounds a bit familiar but he was not nearly as corrupt and unqualified as today's Trudeau government.
He was an arrogant man who thought he was an elite. He admired the socialist governments of China and Cuba, a Labour Party Socialist. By the time he retired in 1984 he had grown the national debt by 700% and this severely damaged Canada's debt rating. He too hated western Canada and tried to nationalize the energy sector which obviously created east west division. He invoked the emergencies act to quell the flq crisis. A disaster that took decades to try and heal.
Pierre Trudeau created division within Canada. He racked up massive taxpayer debt. He admired socialist dictators and implemented the war measures act to deal with the flq crisis in Quebec. He was a failure but not even remotely close to the disaster of his son. He also at least had qualifications unlike his son.
He was a divisive, debt accumulating, war measures act implementing quebecer who did a sloppy job of creating and bringing our constitution back home. He loved socialist dictators. He at least had credentials and qualifications but was a disaster as well.
His worst crimes were muzzling the free speech of Canadian scientists, and eroding hard fought for environmental protections .
Liar, thief, racist/sexist, divisive, incompetent, openly corrupt, zero regard for the People, wanted a dictatorship - he even was so arrogant and bold to claim he left a $13 billion surplus, when, in fact, he left the largest deficit in Canadian history to that date (and, with no pandemic)...
The most useless PM ever in the history of Prime Ministers. A right winged religious nutter who muzzled scientists and was a pathological serial liar to boot. Should have been locked up for treason and lots of other stuff too many to mention here. his total disregard for the S.C.O.C. was sickening.
Use to think Brian Mulroney was the worse, thanks to Stephen Harper Mulroney is phenomenal.
Stephen Harper, "Arrogant and Self-serving." This is why we (Canada) should copy the United States 2 term limit for the Leader.
Corruption comes to mind, spent millions and millions of tax dollars on his home riding. Completely ignored the west. Was a China lover and profited. Sidewinder report is worth a little research.
He enriched himself and his riding. Was in bed with the Chinese and is still corrupt. Encourages Canada to accept spent nuclear waist from foreign countries.
Another very corrupt Quebec pm that enriched himself, his home riding and many of his corporate and government friends. He was deeply imbedded with China.
Another Quebec pm. As pm he spent more federal tax payer dollars during his time as pm on his home riding of Shawinigan then was spent in the entire province of Alberta. Canada was fortunate that Chretien had Paul Martin as his finance minister who along with Mulroney and Harper (30 years) where finally able the get Canada's debt under control from the spending disaster of Pierre Trudeau. Another Quebec parasite. Let's not forget the sidewinder report.
The great Free Trade! How's that going?
Total American Arse-Kisser. Gave us the 'beloved' GST and today we are still paying HST in Ontario.
Creep and criminal.
Did not do anything for this country lost her seat in a landslide in q993 so shame on champbell we do not think she would be first women pm she disgraced me.
Easily, Not really her fault though she only ran for a few months.
Served less than one year between 1979-1980.
The worst. Was not a bad guy or ruthless or tyrannical just not a good politician and made everything worse during the great depression.
An anti-semite who's government did not allow jews fleeing Hitler into the country, in his Canada the magna carta was trampled on, communists were outlawed, Quebecs padlock laws, trusted Hitler, did not do anything about Danny Draper, led the nation with "visions" and crystal balls, ignored the Depression, and more.
He should be first but surprisingly he is not in the top ten list I mean at leased put him in third
I had never even heard of this guy!

The 2013-14 school year is wrapping up, and we’re sure that you (and your students) are anxiously counting down the minutes. However, whereas your students will get to leave all thoughts of class behind for the summer, we know you’ll be working to set up new classes or trying to incorporate new experiments into your existing curriculum. Below are some common questions and helpful hints to get you started for next fall:
I’d like to try to “flip” the classroom for a few lessons this year. Where do I get started?
So, let’s step back for a moment – for those of us that aren’t familiar with this, “flipping the classroom” is a teaching strategy that takes advantage of our ever more connected students. In the flipped classroom, teaching takes place at home online in the form of recorded mini-lectures or class chat rooms. In-class time can be spent learning through inquiry, in the form of collaborative projects like laboratory experiments. Biotechnology lends itself to the flipped classroom because so many of the experiments are inquiry-based, putting your students in the driver’s seat.
Agarose gel electrophoresis would be a great lesson for you to test-drive the flipped classroom. Electrophoresis is a simple, straightforward technique used to separate molecules by size, shape or charge. To aid with your preparation, we have some great educational resources available at our webpage. After reading a short description of electrophoresis, your students can watch the technique being performed by an expert. Many teachers have found that the flipped classroom doesn’t just help their students learn biology — their students also developed better study skills.
I’d like to cover transformation with my students next year, but I’ve never done any of these experiments before. What do I need to get started?
Transformation is the process through which some species of bacteria can acquire exogenous DNA from the surrounding environment. The newly acquired genetic information is both stable and heritable. In the laboratory, scientists can take advantage of this ability using small, circular pieces of DNA called plasmids. In nature, these plasmids allow bacteria to exchange useful genes. In the laboratory, these plasmids are engineered to contain genes from different sources. Once transformed into bacteria, the plasmids turn the bacteria into living factories to create useful products. Many biological medications are created in this fashion.
If you’re going to perform this experiment with your students, you’ll need two waterbaths (37°C and 42°C), thermometers, a bacterial incubator (37°C), pipet pumps or bulbs, and ice buckets. We recommend preparing the media in a microwave, but a Bunsen burner and a beaker of water will suffice. Some reagents need to be frozen, so you will need to have freezer storage in your classroom as well.
More importantly, if you’re just starting with transformation, I highly recommend transforming the bacteria with a plasmid that contains the Green Fluorescent Protein gene(GFP). After performing the experiment, the transformed bacteria will glow bright green using a long-wave UV light. Your students will be dazzled!
I’m teaching genetics and I want to bring more technology into my classroom. What is a good way to do this?
If you’re teaching genetics, one topic that I’m sure you’re covering extensively is the relationship between gene sequence and function. DNA sequence differences occur at specific locations throughout an organism’s genome. These mutations include single base pair changes, transposon insertions, and repetitive DNA elements. Although many of these mutations have no obvious phenotype, those that disrupt a gene or its regulatory sequences can cause changes in the way an organism appears, develops, or interacts with its environment.
In the early 1900’s, Thomas Hunt Morgan used eye color mutants to discover the relationship between genes and chromosomes. While sorting through his flies, he identified a single white-eyed male among the red-eyed flies. This mutation, called white-1, was the first genetic mutant identified in Drosophila. Morgan would use this white-eyed fly
in several test crosses to determine that the master gene for eye color was located on the X-chromosome, providing the first evidence of a gene being linked to a specific chromosome.
Today, we can put a modern spin on Morgan’s Nobel Prize-winning work using the polymerase chain reaction, or PCR. After extracting DNA from both wild-type and white-1 flies, your students will use PCR to amplify the region of the fly’s genome that is responsible for the difference in eye color. This experiment reinforces the relationship between genotype and phenotype in a fun, hands-on way.

The "vanguard" of Cadillac's shift toward all-electric vehicles will be a global crossover that will arrive after the brand's current three-year product onslaught.
Cadillac is filling a yawning product gap between the midsize XT5 and the truck-based Escalade SUV with the all-new XT6. The crossover was designed to have "the stance and presence" of an Escalade but "scaled for everyday life," Cadillac design chief Andrew Smith says.
GM says this year's tallies for earnings per share and free cash flow will top 2018's. The automaker also confirmed Cadillac will be its flagship brand for EVs.

In what is being hailed as a victory for pro-life and free speech advocates, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled on Tuesday that a California law requiring pro-life advocates to inform women of the availability of abortion services was most likely a violation of constitutional rights to free speech..
In the 5-4 ruling, the Supreme Court reversed a lower court decision that upheld a California law requiring crisis pregnancy centers to tell patients about the availability of state-funded family planning services, including abortion-related services.
In National Institute of Family and Life Advocates v. Xavier Becerra, opponents of the 2015 law had maintained that the law violated their First Amendment rights by compelling citizens to speak on behalf of a government program that violated their personal beliefs.
Justice Clarence Thomas, writing for the majority, said that the law “targets speakers, not speech, and imposes an unduly burdensome disclosure requirement that will chill their protected speech.”
Penny Nance, CEO and President of Concerned Women hailed the decision as a protection of free speech.
“We applaud the US Supreme Court for sending a clear statement today that pro-life Americans cannot be discriminated against and targeted by government,” said Nance, according to an NPR report.
“To be clear, this case was not about abortion. Malicious abortion politics definitely were the motivation behind it, but the case centered on the inappropriate mandate of the state compelling pro-life clinics to promote abortion in violation of their consciences. The case was about forced speech,” she said.
The Supreme Court, in another 5-4 ruling, also upheld President Trump’s executive order, known as a “travel ban” which restricted entry from seven countries: Iran, North Korea, Syria, Libya, Yemen, Somalia and Venezuela.
Writing for the majority, Chief Justice Roberts said that the president had the authority to restrict travel which was not affected by incendiary comments Trump made during the presidential campaign.
“Plaintiffs argue that this President’s words strike at fundamental standards of respect and tolerance, in violation of our constitutional tradition,” Roberts wrote. “But the issue before us is not whether to denounce the statements. It is instead the significance of those statements in reviewing a Presidential directive, neutral on its face, addressing a matter within the core of executive responsibility. In doing so, we must consider not only the statements of a particular President, but also the authority of the Presidency itself,” wrote Roberts.

The Partnership Fund (PF) will try to alienate hotel "Borjomi Likani" for the third time, - according to Davit Saganelidze, the head of the fund.
"Obviously, this type of enterprise should not be managed by the fund. We think we will put the Borjomi Likani hotel for auction and sell it this way. As you know, it was brought at the auction for two times. The price was quite high and then the property could not be sold. In the end, we will sell it," Davit Saganelidze told bm.ge.
The auction announced for the sale of the hotel "Borjomi Likani" by the "Partnership Fund" failed twice.
The Partnership Fund offered potential investors hotel asset under a 10-year lease. In addition, the winning company would receive the right to purchase hotel assets. The minimum purchase price of the hotel "Borjomi Likani" was USD 30,052,326.
The hotel owns 156,600 sq / m of land and hotel buildings.
Since 2018, the "Partnership Fund" owns 100% of the Borjomi Likani Hotel. The five-star hotel has 151 rooms.
The Foundation held the first public auction for the sale / lease of the facility on December 6, 2019. The minimum starting price for the hotel was USD 37,565,408, but the auction could not be held due to lack of participants.

We’ve all read about ghost guns. But what about ghost subs? It turns out the newer classes of Russian submarines such as the diesel-electric Krasnodar are extremely quiet and are like noiseless spots in the ocean. The Wall Street Journal examines them as well as a deep-diving compatriot (Yasen class) in the video below. I wonder how much of the stealthiness of the Krasnodar was stolen technology courtesy of spys and/or traitors like the Walkers.
The Australian goes into much more detail in this story about the US Navy’s search for the Krasnodar in the Mediterranean Sea.

In full transparency, the following press release was submitted to SOURCE media for publication.
BOSTON – As abortion rights are under attack in states across the country, Reproductive Equity Now today endorsed Maura Healey for Massachusetts Governor.
Healey is a reproductive equity champion, who has advocated for abortion access in the Commonwealth and stood up to restrictive and hostile abortion laws in states throughout the country.
“When I think reproductive freedom champion, I think Maura Healey,” said Reproductive Equity Now Executive Director Rebecca Hart Holder. “At this moment of crisis, strong state leadership on reproductive equity issues is critical to expanding access to abortion and other reproductive health care. Maura has been a fierce defender of reproductive rights throughout her storied career, from her work investigating dangerous crisis pregnancy centers to her stalwart advocacy for the ROE Act in Massachusetts. While state legislatures across the country continue their hostile rollback of abortion rights, our Commonwealth will remain a beacon for reproductive freedom with Governor Healey at the helm.”
“With the Supreme Court poised to overturn Roe v. Wade this summer, our next Governor needs to be fearless about protecting and expanding access to abortion care,” said Maura Healey. “I’m honored to have the support of Reproductive Equity Now, and I’m committed to partnering with them to make sure Massachusetts remains a leader on reproductive freedom and a beacon of hope for anyone who is seeking care.”
Amid the looming erosion of reproductive rights at the federal level, Massachusetts is lucky to have two pro-reproductive equity candidates in the race. Maura Healey’s decades-long prioritization of and stalwart advocacy for advancing reproductive equity, however, set her apart as a demonstrated leader on this issue.
Healey was the first statewide official to endorse the ROE Act in Massachusetts, legislation that codified abortion protections into state law and ensured that abortion will remain legal in Massachusetts, no matter what the Supreme Court decides in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization this summer. In June 2019, Healey testified before the Massachusetts Joint Committee on the Judiciary in support of the legislation.
Healey’s work to defend abortion access has extended far beyond Massachusetts’ borders. Last year, as attorney general, Healey joined a coalition of 24 attorneys general in filing an amicus brief opposing Mississippi’s 15-week abortion ban, which is now before the U.S. Supreme Court and poses an existential threat to federal abortion protections. In response to the unconstitutional six-week abortion ban that went into effect in Texas, Healey led a coalition of 24 attorneys general in filing an amicus brief in support of the U.S. Department of Justice’s (DOJ) challenge to the restrictive abortion law.
Healey has led on reproductive freedom issues throughout her career. Before serving as attorney general, she led investigations into dangerous and deceptive crisis pregnancy centers and worked to ensure the safety of abortion providers throughout the Commonwealth.

Janet Street-Porter received a surprising message from a Loose Women super fan last week, revealing he had painted a nude portrait of the star.
On today’s show, the 73-year-old was even more surprised to hear how much the painting had sold for – a whopping £5,500.
However, Janet became irked today as her fellow Loose Women cast mates began criticising the snap.
Depicting Janet in the buff, the canvas showed the ITV star from the chest upwards, smiling with a pair of specs perched on her nose.
Janet revealed the artist contacted her over Twitter, before adding that she never asked him to paint the naked masterpiece.
Letting viewers know how much the painting had sold for, anchor Andrea McLean said: "The bidding war continued well after Wednesday’s show until the portrait finally sold."
Turning to Janet, she said: "I can reveal the portrait sold for £5,500. Are you happy with that amount?"
Janet cradled her head in her hands, making it clear she was a little embarrassed the world had seen a nude illustration of her.
She replied: "I'm more than happy. I never asked the man that did it to do it.
"He sent me a message on twitter after thanking me. I think he’s a plasterer or a builder or something and he just did it. I don’t want any more portraits with or without clothes, thank you very much."
Suddenly, Coleen Nolan interjected, pointing out a flaw in the depiction of Janet’s breasts in the creative artwork.
She said: "Can I just say, the only thing that confused me about it is where are your boobs going?
"Where are they hanging? They’re kind of hanging face forward."
Nodding, Janet conceded: "My boobs seem to be more or less under my armpits or something."
When Andrea started wondering whether the portrait showed more than her bare breasts, Janet suddenly shut the conversation down, keen to discuss something else.
She exclaimed: "Can we move on?"
Loose Women airs on weekdays at 12.30pm on ITV.

Fioricet is a drug that is commonly prescribed for the treatment of mild to severe forms of migraines. Although this medication cannot be used for managing migraine attacks alone, it can still be rather effective in certain cases. It is advisable to follow dosage guidelines when taking Fioricet against migraine attacks.
It is vital for patients to understand that they need to follow the dosage instructions coupled with their doctor’s directions with utmost precision, for the drug to be effective and not to provoke any undesirable health outcomes.
Precise Dose Directions
In case you suffer from migraine attacks, it is inadvisable to use more than 6 capsules a day, and it is better to avoid using this medication on a regular basis in order to prevent the development of an addiction. This medication contains butalbital, and it is not advisable to use more than 300 mg of this substance a day.
Acetaminophen should be administered in a dosage of 4 grams a day at a maximum and not more than one gram for a period of four hours. The long-term usage of Fioricet is highly inadvisable because this medication can cause addictive behavior especially if mixed with alcohol. This can cause unwanted interactions between the substances.
Risk of Overdose
Due to the fact that Fioricet is a barbiturate drug that contains such ingredients as acetaminophen, it is not advisable to use it in greater doses than prescribed by your doctor. The use of acetaminophen in increased doses can lead to the death of a patient. A fatal dose would be 4,000 mg or more a day.
It is also inadvisable to increase the desirable dose of this medication if you have liver problems or consume alcohol while taking this drug. This may lead to the aggravation of your condition and may provoke unwanted complications that will be hard to manage once you acquire them.
Threat of Addiction
Due to the fact that Fioricet contains butalbital components, it may have a habit-forming tendency. This is a barbiturate medication that also serves as a depressant producing a sedative effect on the central nervous system.
In this case, taking too much of this drug and exceeding the prescribed doses may result in the symptoms of overdose as well as respiratory problems which may cause breathing difficulty and other conditions. As such, it is not advisable to use more than one or two capsules every four hours or whenever necessary to avoid possible complications.
Long-term use of Fioricet can be dangerous and regarded as abuse leading to increased toxicity of acetaminophen and other components of this medication. Even caffeine contained in this drug can be habit-forming and, therefore, should not be used in increased amounts.
Symptoms of Overdose
If you have exceeded the dose or used more than 6 tablets a day, you might experience confusion and intense drowsiness as well as a feeling of dizziness, which requires immediate medical attention to avoid possible harm to your health. Doubling the dose can even lead to fatal outcomes.

Foraging Autumn’s Hedgerows
Autumn is the season of abundance, so we have compiled some tips to help you get the most out of nature's larder as you scour the hedgerows for edible treasure.
No special equipment is needed – just a keen eye. Sturdy footwear and a basket, trug or bag to collect your findings is recommended.
Try to forage away from busy roads and avoid anything growing too low to the ground. A good rule of thumb is to forage above the height at which a dog might cock its leg…
While it is tempting to graze on the fruit as you gather, it is best to give everything a good wash when you get home before eating.
Make sure you know what you are foraging as some things can be harmful despite looking tempting. Deadly nightshade, with its red berries and pretty flowers, is a good example. It’s best to check a field guide and never eat anything from the wild unless you are absolutely sure you have identified it correctly first.
Blackberries are often the first to make an appearance at the middle or end of summer. They are lovely in their natural form – not all hedgerow finds can be eaten raw – and can be used in all manner of recipes, from classic crumbles and pies to our blackberry and kefir smoothie for something a little different.
Jars of homemade hedgerow jam or jelly make a thoughtful gift and a great souvenir of your foraging quests – try combining blackberries with apples (or foraged crabapples) which are naturally high in pectin to ensure a good set.
You can use hawthorn berries to make “caveman sweets”. Place a couple of handfuls of berries into a bowl, squish them with your hands to help separate the stones from the flesh and push through a sieve with the back of a spoon.
Spread the thick orange goo onto some greaseproof paper and let it dry and set into a jelly-like consistency – you can put it into a low oven to speed this up.
Hawthorn berries are high in pectin, giving the flesh a pleasing chewy, gummy texture, but there is not much in the way of taste, so have fun experimenting with flavours by adding honey, herbs or spices to the goo before it dries.
Rosehips cannot be eaten raw but are delicious cooked in many ways. The classic use for these oval-shaped red berries is rosehip jelly, perfect with roast meat and game or spread on toast. You can also make rosehip syrup for drizzling on porridge, pancakes, ice cream etc. Or dry the hips and make rosehip tea.
Rosehip seeds are an irritant, mischievous youths have been known to use them as itching powder in pranks!
The elder bush offers much for foragers, not just in early summer in the form of fragrant flowers, but also in autumn when their richly toned berries are fruiting.
Pick to make delicious jams and jellies to serve alongside game, or soak in alcohol before heating with sugar to form a thick, dark liqueur akin to a delicious tawny port.
It's best not to eat elderberries raw – cook them first to remove the lectin and cyanide.
Sloes aren’t just for sloe gin – you can make jams, jellies, even sorbet with this versatile berry. As a variation to gin, try steeping the fruit to flavour whisky or cider.

Health Information Updates
Kidney Sundays spread kidney health and diabetes prevention message
The National Kidney Disease Education Program (NKDEP) has teamed up with the American Diabetes Association, National Coalition of Pastors’ Spouses, and Chi Eta Phi Sorority to raise awareness of kidney health and diabetes prevention during National Kidney Month in March.
At the center of the awareness effort is an inaugural Kidney Sundays event March 25, when faith leaders of over 50 mostly African American congregations will hold kidney education sessions, offer health screenings, and distribute educational materials. Kidney health and diabetes prevention messages from NKDEP and its partners will follow throughout the week. Messages in these communities will emphasize the connection between diabetes and kidney disease and the importance of testing, as African Americans are disproportionately affected by these diseases.
The Kidney Sundays initiative will use traditional and social media to share health and prevention messages, including a national radio media tour with NIDDK Director Dr. Griffin P. Rodgers on March 21, Healthy Moments radio features (@HealthyMoments on Twitter), Facebook posts and online information, including a Kidney Sundays toolkit.
“By partnering with these national grassroots organizations on the Kidney Sundays program, NKDEP is able to directly connect to the faith community with actionable, science-based health messages for those most at risk for kidney disease,” said NKDEP Director Dr. Andrew Narva.
To lean the “Top 10 things you can do to prepare for National Kidney Month,” visit the NKDEP website.
NDEP welcomes new leadership
The National Diabetes Education Program (NDEP) is honored to welcome Dr. John Buse as the program’s new chair and Wanda Montalvo as NDEP’s new Operations Committee chair. They will serve in these roles for two-year terms.
Buse’s leadership role with the NDEP builds on notable accomplishments spanning more than 25 years. Buse, who has an M.D. and Ph.D., is currently a medical professor at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill, where he serves as director of the Diabetes Care Center, chief of the Division of Endocrinology and executive associate dean for clinical research. He also works within the leadership of the North Carolina Translational and Clinical Sciences Institute, home of the UNC NIH Clinical and Translational Science Awards.
Buse has played key roles in many multicenter clinical trials, including two major NIH-sponsored trials: Action to Control Cardiovascular Risk in Diabetes, for which he serves as study vice-chair, and Studies to Treat or Prevent Pediatric Type 2 Diabetes. He served as 2008 president, medicine and science, of the American Diabetes Association, for which he has also chaired many committees and task forces.
Montalvo, an R.N., M.S.N., and A.N.P., is an executive nurse leader and a longtime, active partner in NDEP activities. Montalvo was the clinical director for the New York State Diabetes Campaign, sponsored by NYSHealth Foundation, where she expanded clinical and community partnerships and supported statewide diabetes training using NDEP’s Road to Health Toolkit.
Prior to joining NYSHealth, she was the chief clinical program officer at the Community Health Care Association of New York State. She is a recipient of the Healthy Youth for a Health Future Champion Award from the U.S. Surgeon General, the Quality Center of the Bureau of Primary Health Care Outstanding Achievement Award, and a Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Executive Nurse Fellow 2004–2007, as well as a National Advisory Committee member for Partners Investing in Nursing.

The Cowichan Valley gathered in an exuberant crowd Thursday, July 18 to celebrate the sod turning for the Cowichan Valley Hospice House.
Everyone was there: from spokespeople and politicians to those who had worked in the background at many, many groups and agencies who could see “their” project moving forward.
The theme of the speakers and presenters, who were led by Health Minister Adrian Dix, was community. The community needed a hospice house, and the community got together and put their backs into finding the funds needed to build it.
“High quality, compassionate end-of-life care for British Columbians is a vital service and we are committed to supporting our community partners in bringing important projects like this one to completion,” said Dix, pointing to the amazing way those partners had stepped up locally.

After our far too short visit, I completely understand both rankings. Â Helsinki seems to have a great positive energy to it, unlike the negative, even aggressive energy of many cities I’ve visited.
People, even those dressed for business, were very friendly and never seemed to be in any particular hurry. Â On this sunny day, one our mid-Atlantic US-tuned bodies found a little chilly, people were out in parks and on the water enjoying a nice summer day.
The shore excursion we selected was a little more bus ride than I would have liked but it give us a good overview of the city and the guide offered some wonderful insights to the history and culture of the area.
On the down side, I didn’t take nearly as many pictures as in the other places we visited.
Finland is very much tied to Sweden having been ruled by that country for 600 years until the Russians took over in 1809. Even today, both Swedish and Finnish are official languages with both being used for street signs and government documents.
They are very wary of the Russians, however, both as a result of fighting the Soviet Union during World War II and tensions during the Cold War.
Anyway, beyond seeing a part of the world new to us, one of the main reasons for taking this trip and for this particular itinerary is my wife’s love of Scandinavian music and design.
So, one of the stops on the tour paid homage to the Finnish national composer Jean Sebelius, a composer whose compositions she has performed many times. The picture above is the monument to him set in a very peaceful park.
Me? In my head I’m hearing Eric Idle singing “Finland, Finland, Finland. The place where I quite want to be.” :-)
After getting off the bus, we spent the rest of our afternoon in Helsinki wandering around an open air market at the harbor and through some of the downtown stores getting a small glimpse into daily living.ï»¿
I’m probably repeating myself but, as with our previous two stops on the cruise, one day was not enough and this is definitely one more city I’d like to return to someday.
But for this trip, we were off to our next stop, St. Petersburg, Russia.

The service we offer uses the latest technology , to clean the engine from the build-up of carbon and other deposits , restoring vehicle efficiency, improving MPG and reducing harmful emissions. Don't go spending hundreds of pounds replacing your injectors , which may just need a clean
Is this better than the pour-in cleaners ? YES Fortron system cleans the injectors through the combustion process and cleans post combustion too.
Is this suitable for my vehicle? If it has injectors then its for you.!! Cars , bikes, boats , trucks minibuses, lorries and more.
How much does this service cost? This will vary slightly on make and model of your vehicle but prices are around £90 depending on the size of the engine.
How often does it need to be done? It is recommended every 15000 miles and less if you do mainly town driving.
Is it harmful to my engine ? It removes the harmful deposits and returns the engine back to original clean state, with no known side effects.
My car is a hybrid , does it need cleaning Yes this would also benefit from this service.
Can I not just remove my DPF if it becomes clogged? No not any more! - It has been a popular practice to remove the DPF when it has become blocked as this seemed an easier option, however in 2014 it was made illegal to operate a car that has had the manufacturer fitted DPF removed. MOT's also now include an emissions test that will catch out cars with missing DPF's. Our patented DPF cleaning system supplied by Terraclean allows us to clean the DPF without the need of removal from the vehicle, saving pounds on labour costs and keeping your vehicle legal.
Engine decarbonisaton - what is it
Petrol and diesel engines build up carbon deposits inside the cylinders over a period of time. This carbon build up happens for various reasons – from improper burning of fuel, to substandard fuel quality and general build up with age. It deposits itself as soot around exhaust valves, in the exhaust, on the cylinder head, on the piston and on the intake and exhaust manifold. Over a period of time, especially in older cars, this carbon build up can lead to valves not closing properly, spark plugs fouling, exhaust sensors failing and other issues. Some of the first symptoms of carbon build up will include a lack of power and low mileage from the car. Severe cases will also show up as black soot deposits spilling out of the exhaust.

Medical terminology evolves alongside our understanding of medicine. As time goes by, new terms are adopted while others are abandoned. In midwifery, there should always be a strong emphasis on the language we use, particularly in pregnancy.
In 2020, the Royal College of Midwives launched an initiative to discover the impact language has on women. The aim of the Re:Birth project was to find language around pregnancy that could be understood both by people delivering maternity care and those receiving it.
It was the first project of its kind to consult the maternity community (including new mothers and healthcare professionals) directly on their preferred language to describe labour and birth. The findings of the project supported the fact that many women were less concerned about the way their baby was born but with whether they had a positive experience and felt safe and listened to.
Last year, the Royal College of Midwives published a report outlining their findings and a new pocket guide is being issued to midwives this year.
This article is part of Women’s Health Matters, a series about the health and wellbeing of women and girls around the world. From menopause to miscarriage, pleasure to pain the articles in this series will delve into the full spectrum of women’s health issues to provide valuable information, insights and resources for women of all ages.

Here are six maternity terms you are now unlikely to hear:
Table of Contents
The term “birth” has now been accepted, rather than the term “delivery”, which has commonly been used in the past. Women and health professionals also wanted accurate, specific descriptions as far as possible to describe what had happened in the labour and birth. For example, “birth with forceps” or “birth with ventouse”. This also includes “caesarean birth”.
2. Low risk / high risk
“Universal care needs” is being used rather than “low risk”. While “additional care needs” is now the preferred term for “high risk”. The word “risk” is associated with uncertainty and it is vital that women feel comfortable and confident during their pregnancy.
“Normal birth” is a term that has long been used by midwives and other healthcare professionals to describe a spontaneous, physiological vaginal delivery. But what counts as “normal”? Does this label someone as “abnormal” if they did not experience what we classify as “normal” birth?
The new preferred term, “spontaneous vaginal birth”, covers spontaneous labour without significant medical interventions such as induction and oxytocin. It also covers spontaneous vaginal birth without the need for instruments, such as forceps.
4. Emergency caesarean
The new overarching term for an operative caesarean section is “caesarean birth”. This replaces the word “emergency”, which is a term that may cause alarm. The term “unplanned caesarean birth” is now preferred over “emergency caesarean”.
5. Incompetent cervix
“Incompetent cervix” has connotations of personal failure. So, the preferred term is now “cervical insufficiency”.
6. Failure / failed
During the Re:Birth project, women were keen to share how terms such as “failure to progress” can contribute to feelings of failure and trauma. “Delayed progress in labour” or “slow labour” are now preferred terms.
We can apply the same logic to terms such as “failed induction” or “failed homebirth”. “Induction of labour, with delay and followed by operative birth” and “transfer in during planned homebirth” are favoured, respectively.
Language which infantalises pregnant women, such as “good girl” or “you are allowed/not allowed to” should also be avoided, as should language which has connotations of blame. Examples of this include “poor maternal effort” and “refused”.
During pregnancy and birth, which is a vulnerable time for many, the role of the midwife is to empower women and to value their autonomy over their care decisions.
The Nursing and Midwifery Council’s standards of proficiency for midwives document states that midwives provide universal care for all women and new-born infants. Midwives support physical, psychological, social, cultural and spiritual safety. The emphasis on psychological care is clear, therefore, with language having a profound impact on wellbeing.
Healthcare professionals must acknowledge that the language we use is an important part of the care we provide. Improved psychological safety and wellbeing is closely linked to improved safety, positive outcomes and future experiences. Language matters.

Gift for my 15 year old daughter. It fits her well, is comfortable, great quality and the embroidered calico cat is just so sweet. Functional and adorable!
I love the hat design, the cat embroidery is really cute. However, it is a little too big for me and although the material being 100% cotton, it is quite thin. I wish it came in different sizes and the material was a little thicker.
Purchased recently and loved the color/design. I still wear it despite it not fitting my head more tightly than I'd like but thats ok!
This is such a lovely hat, so cute that I've received multiple compliments on it! My name is Cal, so I also like to make the pun that it's a cal-ico hat, haha. Anyway, wonderful quality - thank you kindly! (I don't know how to attach photos to this review, but if I did know, I would do so!)
Shipped quickly! I love my hat; it's very comfortable and doesn't feel tight on my head at all.

Jennifer Lopez knows how to dress for date night.
Yesterday, the pop star-slash-business mogul was photographed with her fiancé, Alex Rodriguez, dining out at Bellini restaurant in South Florida. For the outing, Lopez dressed cozy but chic, wearing an oversized jacquard tartan cardigan by Brunello Cuccinelli, layered over a tan-hued ribbed turtleneck sweater, distressed-hemmed light-wash denim, and brown suede ankle boots by Ralph Lauren. Lopez accessorized her look with a buttery black leather purse by BOYY, a neutral-toned face mask, gradient-style sunglasses, and her signature Jennifer Fisher hoop earrings. Rodriguez looked sharp as well, dressed in a collared navy sweater, jeans, and white sneakers.
Rodriguez shared a sneak peek into the pair's excursion on Instagram yesterday. The former Yankees star posted a clip of the two getting in their car on the way to lunch blasting the Foo Fighters' hit song "Best of You" on the stereo. Rodriguez caught his fiancée hilariously singing along to the track, playfully head-banging and pretending to drum.
Earlier this week, Rodriguez took to social media to express how proud he was of Lopez following the singer's ultra-successful last year. He shouted-out her performing at not only the recent presidential inauguration but also the 2020 Super Bowl and headlining Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve televised special.
"In baseball, the ultimate offensive achievement in one year is called the Triple Crown. For entertainers, I think what @jlo has accomplished in the past 12 months is right up there. Super Bowl. NYE. Inauguration," wrote Rodriguez. "Amazing. Truly amazing.#Macha ❤"

TRANSMISSION & CLUTCH REPAIRS
Manual transmissions change gears with the application of the clutch pedal and the shifting of gears using a stick shift. This action disengages the transmission from the flywheel temporarily in order to be realigned with another set of gears. Automatic transmission repair differs from manual transmission repair because of the clutch assembly.
A clutch needs to be replaced, in most cases, at between 80,000 and 160,000 km's. Although some clutches may last longer. Additionally, if a clutch is misused, it may fail sooner. A clutch is the bridge between the transmission and the gearbox. Depressing or engaging the clutch allows one to shift the transmission's gears. Over time, the clutch needs adjustment. The cable may stretch or the hydraulic system may need to be bled. When depressing the clutch pedal, the pressure plates and transmission gear collar will not fully disengage. This will cause a grinding sound as you change gears or make the shifting difficult. Also, over time the coating on the pressure plates will wear off and the throw-out bearing can wear out.

Usher recently found himself at the center of a viral video controversy that suggested he nearly thanked the devil for his NAACP Image Award at the ceremony earlier this month. However, the iconic singer took to Instagram to set the record straight, explaining that his stumble was due to nerves, not any allegiance to the devil.
In a passionate response on Instagram, Usher vehemently denied the accusations, asserting his faith in God and dismissing any association with the devil. “GOD is my lord and savior … the DEVIL is a lie!!” he wrote emphatically. “You got me fked up!! Not today sir…I never have time for this type st but today, you gon hear this.”
Explaining the mishap further, Usher attributed the stumble to nervousness and discomfort with teleprompters, particularly as he was being rushed during his speech. He clarified that he was expressing heartfelt gratitude to the NAACP and his family, not invoking any sinister forces. “So I was a bit nervous and jumbled my words when speaking from my heart…I hate teleprompters,” he explained. “The devil is always at work…don’t let him use my boy. You terrible for even tryna to share this.”
During the NAACP Image Awards, Usher was honored with the prestigious President’s Award. In his speech, he expressed gratitude to his family for their unwavering support throughout his career, particularly acknowledging the pivotal role of his mother and wife, Jennifer, in his life. He also expressed love for his children, aiming to set an example for them every day.
Usher’s swift and passionate response on social media underscores his commitment to his faith and his firm stance against misinformation. As the video controversy subsides, the focus returns to celebrating Usher’s achievements and the positive impact of his music and influence.
