The California Court of Appeal for the Fourth Appellate District recently held that a policy’s “law or ordinance” exclusion precluded coverage for a partially remodeled home that violated flood plain regulations and was demolished pursuant to an order of the city of Huntington Beach. In Reichert v. State Farm General Insurance Co., the appellate court affirmed the trial court’s order, which granted summary judgment in favor of the defendant insurer.
In September 2007, Eric and Liz Reichert purchased a two-story home in Huntington Beach, which was located in a flood zone. The Reicherts hired an architect and contractor to remodel the home and submitted several plans to the city. In the first set of plans, the overall value of the home was to increase more than 50 percent and more than 50 percent of its existing walls were to be modified. This plan triggered a city “in fill” requirement so neighbors would have to sign-off on the placement of windows and a federal FEMA requirement so the ground floor would have to be raised because the property was located in a flood plain.
As a result, the Reicherts submitted a second set of plans that left several existing walls in place to avoid the city’s “in-fill” requirement, which meant the property value would have increased by just under 50 percent and the FEMA requirement would have been avoided. The city approved the plans and the Reicherts began the remodel. During construction, however, the project manager discovered that the existing 8-foot walls, which were supposed to be left in place, could not support the permitted 10-foot ceilings. The project manager reported the oversight to the architect and contractor, and was instructed to tear down all the walls, including the walls designated to remain as part of the approved plans.
During the next city inspection, it was discovered that the Reicherts exceeded the scope of the permit and that the addition of all new walls and the corresponding increase in the overall value of the home would trigger the city and FEMA requirements. A “stop work” order was immediately issued. The Reicherts sued the contractor and architect and made a claim for insurance benefits under their homeowners policy to State Farm General Insurance Co. The home was later completely demolished by order of the city.
The trial court granted summary judgment in favor of State Farm finding that the demolition could not be an accidental loss under the insurance contract, and the exclusion of losses for enforcement of any ordinance or law was “fairly obvious.” The Reicherts appealed.
In its Dec. 28, 2012, opinion, the Court of Appeal did not address whether there was an “accidental direct physical loss” as required by the policy, but instead focused entirely on whether the law or ordinance exclusion applied. The “law or ordinance” exclusion provided, “We do not insure under any coverage for any loss which is caused by one or more of the items below, regardless of whether the event occurs suddenly or gradually, involves isolated or widespread damage, arises from natural or external forces, or occurs as a result of any combination of these [¶] a. Ordinance or Law, meaning enforcement of any ordinance or law regulating the construction, repair or demolition of a building or other structure.”
The Court of Appeal first discussed the fact that there was a split among California courts as to whether, after a loss from a covered peril, a first-party property insurer is required to pay for code upgrades to replace the lost or damaged property, even if the insured ultimately receives something better than they had. The two camps are divided into “anti-windfall” and “pro-compliant”. The appellate court stated the split was not directly relevant because the Reicherts’ loss was not caused by a covered peril. However, the court found the cases instructive because they establish that “the clear intent of the law or ordinance exclusion is to exclude loss when it is the law or ordinance itself – as distinct from, say a fire – that is the cause of the loss.” As a result, the court found that the “law or ordinance” exclusion clearly applied because the undisputed facts showed the property was demolished pursuant to the city’s proper enforcement of FEMA floodplain regulations.
The appellate court rejected the Reicherts’ contention that Option OL of their policy provided coverage for their loss. Instead, the court found that Option OL provides an insured with additional amounts under the policy to cover replacement costs for required code upgrades, only where there already is a loss from a covered peril. Since the Reicherts’ loss was not from a covered peril, Option OL did not apply. The court found its conclusion was consistent with the limited case law discussing Option OL.
The court also rejected the Reicherts’ contention that the cause of their loss was not the governmental enforcement action, but the third-party negligence of their architect or contractor. The court relied on the language of the policy, which stated the insurer does not insure for loss in its listed exclusions regardless of whether there was “defect, weakness, inadequacy, fault or unsoundness in (1) [¶] planning . . . [¶] (2) design, specification . . . [¶] of any property” that directly or indirectly caused, contributed to or aggravated the loss or occurred before, or at the same time or after the loss of any other cause of the cause. Therefore, the court concluded that even if third-party negligence was a cause of the loss, the policy still excluded the loss.
Accordingly, the Court of Appeal affirmed the judgment of the trial court.

Yesterday was the Solemnity of Mother Mary Feast day which brings our attention to the motherhood and blessings from our Blessed Virgin.
We can not forget the constant presence of the Blessed Mother in our lives as she prays for us in all of our challenges, fears and shortcomings. She is also always there to celebrate all of our victories.
I feel one of Mary’s main missions, as our heavenly mother, is to love us and to teach us to love ourselves. To bring peace through love. To pray for us in good times and hard times. To keep us safe, nurtured and cared for. Just as all of us mothers want for our children, our Blessed Mother wants the same. Turn to her in times of familial strife or disharmony. She wants God’s peace and the peace surpassing all understanding that her son offers, to bless us unconditionally.
In our humanness of the good, bad and in between, let us hold honor for ourselves and those around us for our journeys. May we embrace our lives with gratitude for whatever shows up to further reveal to us our human and divine nature that is for us not against us. Difficult, uncomfortable or heavenly and amazing, it is all forming who we came here to be. It is a wild ride and with much prayer and surrender, is all here for our highest development and good.
Honoring both our human and divine nature allows us to appreciate our own compassion and our power that comes from the one big love that resides in all living things.
With life as our classroom we can take the pressure off of getting all things right. We can agree to see ourselves evolve with a light hearted perspective and pat on the back. All of us navigating and moving through life, one story at a time, one choice at a time and trying our very best. My Mom who past last February always used to tell me that same thing. She would say “ Terese, all you can do is do the best you possibly can and the Saints can do no more”.
So for the New Year, let’s all agree to love our humanness, our divinity and everyone else’s while we are at it. It is in loving others in their humanness that we are actually loving ourselves as well because we are all one.
Why do they call surrender sweet?
The answer to that question lies in the polarity of surrender.
When we are in resistance, we are in ego or small self. It feels contracted and tight.
We all get an idea that things need to be a certain way in order for us to be happy. We all want what we want or ........ the ego wants what it wants.
If life gives us the opposite of what we want, we immediately go into resistance. It can show up in many forms. Complaining, grumpy and negative attitude, blame, anxiety, depression, rocky relationships, bad habits, distractions, fighting to be right, addictions, busyness, excessive exercise, overeating...... the list goes on.
We short circuit into these forms of resistance until we are either tired of them or we become sick from them.
What we resist will persist!
We cling to these things outside of ourselves because our egos think that is the only way to survive. Ego is looking to these things outside our selves to identify itself. When we turn to surrendering those things, the ego is threatened and will fight back. This is the dark night of the soul.
What would happen if we surrendered our ego's and yielded to spirit? This is a counterintuitive idea but it works. When we are in surrender we are in spirit, presence, consciousness . It feels free and light and easy. There is no inner critic or judge. There is awareness , acceptance and allowing.
In letting go of what we think we need, we find the relief in actually letting it go. In letting go through acceptance of what is, we find peace. We make friends with our true self which is presence and consciousness. Light and love.
In surrender we allow the infinite intelligence to take over. We find true life as we allow that infinite intelligence to guide us. It feels spacious and free.
The resistance is there to bring us into expansion. Just like in childbirth, we contract to expand! This is growth. Growth is any alignment with Love and God in yourself.
Surrender becomes sweet in the relief of letting go and in the final expansion after the contraction
How sweet it is:)
Definition of void: verb:discharge or drain away
noun: ( bridge and whist) a suit in which a player is dealt no cards
Why does God allow the void?
It is in the void where God allows us to struggle with the ego so that we can find the light. We need to be face to face with our misalignment with spirit and truth in the ego in order to receive awareness by grace from our own light within.
You name the multitude of things we think we need so desperately to be ok!
There are many!
One day, if we are blessed and ready, God will bring us to a place whereby we will be faced without that thing we are clinging to for our wholeness so that we can discover our real wholeness. Our wholeness that is our divinity, our true self, our light.
Who are we without that thing?
Do we feel empty, not useful or whole there?
Do we feel restless and uncomfortable?
This is the exact place where we are faced with who we are in God!
We need to become aware of who we truly are as a being not a doer. We need to be detached from all the labels of who our ego defines us to be and to be the pure essence of who we are in Source/God/Christ.
Can we drop the titles, roles and identities for a moment to see that we are whole just as we are right now.? We are light and love in a human body doing the very best that we can.
When we surrender and accept the present moment, void of all except our true, big Self, we can finally see and appreciate ourselves for who we are.
Dropping ego from the void can feel like a death in your soul.If you wait around and watch the stillness, a rebirth will occur.
Do we need to decide finally to step into the authenticity of who we are? Do we need clarity of our essence? Maybe we can just let go of the fear and judgment. Maybe we own our worthiness.
We are worthy because we are here.
Judgment is fear and can not exist in the eyes of the Divine.
Surrender to the greatness of who you already are beloved.

‘Harry & Meghan’: Netflix Reveals Premiere Date & Official Trailer for Docuseries (VIDEO)
The in-depth documentary series about the lives of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex is set to land on Netflix in two volumes, with the first three episodes premiering on Thursday, December 8, followed by the remaining three episodes on Thursday, December 15.
Directed by Emmy-winner Liz Garbus (The Handmaid’s Tale), Harry & Meghan aims to share the other side of the royal couple’s high-profile love story. It will explore the clandestine days of their early courtship and the challenges that led to them stepping back from their full-time roles in the royal family.
“There’s a hierarchy of the family, you know, there’s leaking, but there’s also planting of stories… it’s a dirty game,” Prince Harry says in the newly released trailer (watch below). “The pain and suffering of women marrying into this institution… [it’s] this feeding frenzy.”
Harry’s comments are made alongside footage of his wife, Meghan, and his late mother, Princess Diana, and the relentless media scrutiny both women have faced. “I was terrified; I didn’t want history to repeat itself,” Harry continues as we see several clips of paparazzi chasing down Meghan and Diana.
The six-episode series features commentary from friends and family, most of whom have never spoken publicly before about what they witnessed, and historians who discuss the state of the British Commonwealth today and the royal family’s relationship with the press.
Garbus serves as executive producer alongside Erica Sashin, Mark Monroe, Dan Cogan, Ben Browning, Chanel Pysnik, Jon Bardin, Mala Chapple, and Angus Wall.
The series comes from Harry and Meghan’s Archewell Foundation, which signed a multi-year agreement with Netflix in 2020. On Sunday, December 4, it was revealed that the royal couple is to assume full leadership of Archewell following the departure of the organization’s president, Mandana Dayani.
“Dayani’s transition was mutually planned, with intent for The Duke and Duchess to now take full lead of their company,” Archewell said in a statement (via Deadline). “There will be no replacement for this position, and Ms. Dayani is fully supportive of The Duke and Duchess in their new leadership roles, and they remain friends.”

An investigation that has spanned more than twenty years has resulted in the arrest of a Boise man in connection with the murder of a woman in Washington. Police say he is now also a suspect in the 1994 unsolved killing of a Boise woman.
Over the last year, detectives with the Boise Police Violent Crimes Unit have been working with detectives from the Bremerton Police Department in Bremerton, Washington, in the investigation of two homicides. One homicide happened in 1992 in Bremerton and one happened in 1994 in Boise.
The years-long investigation resulted in the arrest of 54-year-old Lee R. Miller Wednesday night. Authorities say Miller was arrested in Boise on a warrant out of Kitsap County, Washington, and charged with murder in the second degree for the death of Bremerton resident Marilyn Hickey, who died in 1992.
Authorities say Miller is also a suspect in the death of 49-year-old Boise resident Cheryle Barratt. In April, 1994, Barratt’s body was found in an apartment on North 6th Street. Her throat was slit, according to reports.
Miller is currently being held in the Ada County Jail and will be extradited to Washington. A BPD news release says, “The timing of the extradition will be handled by the appropriate courts.”
“This is a significant achievement for both the Boise Police Department and the Bremerton Police Department -- as we were able to use advancements in technology and coordinated investigative efforts to make strides in two decades-long investigations,” said Boise Police Sgt. Justin Kendall. “Our detectives have worked for years to make progress on these investigations -- to help find answers for our community and justice for the victims.”
On Wednesday, detectives from the Bremerton Police Department came to Boise and arrested Miller. The case was re-opened late in 2017 and has been worked as a cold case since then.
On September 10, 1992, the Bremerton Police Department received a call asking officers to conduct a welfare check at an apartment in the 400 block of Chester Avenue. Officers found Marilyn Hickey dead in her apartment. “The investigation showed Marilyn met her death by homicidal means. Evidentiary items were collected at the scene however after many active months, there were no arrests, and the case went cold,” according to a news release from the Bremerton Police Department.
In 2006, the case was opened and several pieces of evidence were sent to the state crime lab. The WSP Crime Laboratory was able to obtain a complete DNA profile and entered the profile into CODIS (Combined DNA Index System). A check of CODIS did not return any person matches, however, the DNA did match the DNA in the other unsolved homicide case in Boise.
Detectives from the Bremerton Police Department worked with detectives from the Boise Police Department to identify Miller as the suspect with the matching DNA. Boise detectives were able to obtain a DNA sample from Miller and submitted it to the Idaho State Crime Lab. Further analysis confirmed the DNA from Miller matched the profiles from both unsolved homicides.

Debt to creditors soared by $1.5 trillion over the last year alone, according to the Peter G.
Peterson Foundation , a nonpartisan organization focused on addressing the country’s fiscal challenges.“It does not make sense as a society to simply spend more than we take in on a permanent and growing basis,” said Michael A.Peterson, the group’s chief executive officer.“What that essentially does is place the burden onto our future and onto the next generation.” Start the day smarter.Get all the news you need in your inbox each morning.The mounting debt can impact the health and economic security of Americans in numerous ways – hitting their pocketbooks through higher interest rates, for example, or syphoning off government funding needed for other programs.More: The national debt and the federal deficit are skyrocketing.
How it affects you A $30 trillion debt amounts to about $90,000 per American.Net interest costs on the debt average $1 billion per day or roughly $2,600 per household this year.And it’s going to get worse.Over the next three decades, net interest payments on the debt are projected to hit new records – totaling more than $60 trillion and, by 2051, taking up nearly half of all federal revenues and measuring nearly 9% of the gross domestic product, economists warn.
For comparison, interest on the debt has never exceeded 19% of federal revenues or much more than 3% of the GDP.A $30 trillion debt “should sound the alarm to lawmakers who think we can borrow endlessly without consequence,” said Maya MacGuineas, president of the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget , a nonpartisan group that promotes fiscal responsibility.
“With inflation at a 40-year high and large deficits projected into the future, it is time to start worrying about how to get our fiscal house in order,” MacGuineas said.
More: 4 coronavirus stimulus packages.$2.4 trillion in funding.See what that means to the national debt.Economists attribute much of the spiraling debt to interest payments, growing health care costs and an aging population.
The federal government also has spent $6 trillion over the past two years to help Americans recover from the financial fallout of COVID-19.Tax cuts that Republicans pushed through Congress in 2017, with the promise they would pay for themselves, are projected to add $1 trillion to $2 trillion to the federal debt over a decade, according to government estimates .The COVID spending under both the Biden and Trump administrations accelerated the nation’s financial problems, “but those trends were existing well before the pandemic,” Peterson said.
Borrowing for the pandemic made sense, MacGuineas said, “but now is the time to change course and gradually return to a fiscally responsible trajectory.” Rising interest costs are becoming the fastest-growing part of the federal budget.That means more of the taxes taken out of Americans’ paychecks will go “to our past rather than our future,” Peterson said.
A large national debt can make the country less prepared for other disasters, such as the next recession or pandemic, and make it hard to devote money for social programs for the most vulnerable Americans, such as the poor and the elderly.Over time, the growing debt can push up interest rates for consumers and businesses.The higher rates can ripple through the economy, nudging up rates for mortgages, corporate bonds and other types of consumer and business loans.“We’re very fortunate that interest rates have been so low in recent years because it lowers the burden of all this debt,” Peterson said.“That gives us additional breathing room.But the scary part is it could be quite temporary.
As interest costs rise, that debt burden becomes more and more painful.” “No one can tell you what interest rates are going to be three, five, 10 or 20 years from now,” he said.“Yet we just keep piling on this debt without regard to the risks.” The nation’s fiscal problems can be fixed, Peterson and MacGuineas said, but that would require tradeoffs on prioritizing spending and taxes.Those tough decisions aren’t likely to happen anytime soon given many lawmakers’ aversion to raising taxes and cutting popular spending programs.”These programs that are supporting Americans, that are supporting our national defense, that are investing in our future, that are protecting the most vulnerable, that are educating our kids – if we feel those are important, they should be paid for,” Peterson said.
“It’s immoral for us to continue on this path with such disregard for our kids.” Michael Collins covers the White House.Follow him on Twitter @mcollinsNEWS.

Oklahoma’s first nonbinary and Muslim lawmaker has been censured by state Republicans after allegedly protecting a trans protester from law enforcement during a demonstration against anti-trans legislation.
The Oklahoma House of Representatives voted 81-19 on Tuesday to censure Rep. Mauree Turner and remove them from all committee assignments unless they offer a formal apology, according to local outlet KFOR. This followed a protest at the Oklahoma Capitol last week after the House passed HB 2177, which would block trans people of any age from insurance coverage for transition-related healthcare and force trans minors to detransition.
During the demonstration, a protestor draped in a rainbow flag allegedly threw water at Rep. Bob Ed Culver and an Oklahoma state trooper. The trooper then proceeded to follow the protester; KFOR reports that the protester “swung and open-handedly hit the trooper on the shoulder,” while video embedded within the article itself shows the officer grabbing them, throwing them to the ground, and pinning them. The protester was accompanied by someone else, similarly draped in a trans flag, who repeatedly cried out for help. Turner then hid the protester that authorities wanted to question in their office, according to the Associated Press.
On Tuesday, the Oklahoma House released a statement regarding the censure vote, with House Speaker Charles McCall writing that “one individual was apprehended by law enforcement while another involved in the incident fled the scene.”
“It came to the attention of law enforcement that the individual who fled was hiding in the official office of a member of the House,” the statement reads. “This member knowingly, and willfully, impeded a law enforcement investigation, harboring a fugitive and repeatedly lying to officers, and used their official office and position to thwart attempts by law enforcement to make contact with a suspect of the investigation.”
Although Turner was not identified in the statement itself, they responded to the Associated Press, stating, “I think an apology for loving the people of Oklahoma is something that I cannot do. It’s something that I actively refuse to do.”
They added that they “provide [their] office as a space of grace and love for all the folks in all communities that seek refuge from the hate in this building.”

On January 30th, 2011 the Screen Actors Guild, the largest performer’s union in the United States, hosted its 17th annual awards ceremony at the Shrine Exposition Center in Los Angeles, California. The union was developed in 1933 to help up and coming actors and actresses earn higher pay and better hours; but the first awards ceremony was not held until 1995.
The SAG awards are similar to the Oscars, and generally the same films receive recognition and awards in both. However, the SAG awards differ slightly in that they honor actors and actresses selected by their fellow Guild members, and cover categories in both television and film.
After moving to New York City in 1983 to continue his acting career, Mr. Reese became a member of the Screen Actors Guild. In years since then, individual production companies have sent films on DVD’s for screening purposes to him, along with the other 120,000 members. After receiving the DVD’s, members have a limited amount of time to view the films, develop their opinions, and cast their votes. When asked what he looks for when considering a film, Mr. Reese said, “I go to enjoy rather than to critique a film. Elements such as an arresting story, a well-written script, talented actors, appropriate costumes and scenery and a good score all contribute to a film worthy of consideration for an academy award.”
This year, however, the Guild switched to a different system. They now offer members iTunes redeeming codes and movie theater vouchers for screening purpose in addition to the DVD’s. These changes were implemented in order to cut down high costs of mailing DVD’s and reduce the number of pirated copies.
Mr. Reese received The King’s Speech and The Social Network on DVD’s, and movie vouchers to go see all of the other nominees. “I usually watch them [the movies] once, but I was so impressed with The King’s Speech that I have seen it twice. A great movie.” The Deerfield student body seems to agree, “I’ve heard from everyone who has seen it that it is extraordinary,” said Caitlin Cook ’12.
Apparently they are not the only ones who think so, because it won both “Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture” and “Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Lead Role”, the highest number of SAG awards to one film this year. “That was actually pretty unusual. Usually there is one clear movie in the lead, but this year the awards were far more spread out, there were just so many fantastic films,” explained Mr. Reese.
With so many excellent films out in the past few months, it is surely interesting to see who will win the awards. So, if you missed the SAG awards, be sure to check out www.sagawards.org, or tune into the 83rd annual Academy Awards on this upcoming February 27th.


A Smart, High-Temperature Pressure Sensor
Small Business Information

VP of Business Development
AbstractABSTRACT: There is a growing demand for high-temperature pressure sensors for use in extreme temperature environments such as aircraft gas turbine combustion control. What is needed are reliable"smart"pressure sensors capable of measuring combustor/exhaust pressures (0 to 700 psi), a engine operating temperatures, with steady-state accuracy +/- .75% of point or +/- 0.5 psi, (whichever is greater), and a dynamic range of 100 Hz. As important, the sensor hardware should include signal conditioning and communications electronics such as to be able to communicate over a data bus to the full authority digital engine control. Sporian Microsystems, Inc. has established a solid track record of successful research and development of high temperature (up to 1350oC) sensors and packaging architectures for high temperature turbine engines. The proposed approach is leverage previously developed and demonstrated high temperature pressure sensor technology and advance the sensor electronics into a"smart"form suitable for engine control applications/use. For the proposed effort, Sporian will work with engine OEM Roll-Royce LibertyWorks and commercial high temperature electronics developers to guide both the sensor and electronics development toward realizing a useful component with appropriate performance and interface characteristics. BENEFIT: In order for future engine systems to reduce cost and while increasing safety and performance, a new generation of control systems and associated sensors are necessary. Fixed wing and rotorcraft engines would benefit significantly by having a smart sensors to enable distributed engine control. The conditions in this application are harsh, and sensors must be able to withstand high temperatures, high pressures, fuel and exhaust. The technology and sensor product described in this proposal would allow exactly that, while existing sensors fall well short of the application"s demand. The technology described in this proposal would allow smart sensing directly from the point of interest within the engine. Commercial applications abound for the successful results of this proposal in commercial and military jet and helicopter aircraft engine industries, which are made up of companies such as Pratt & Whitney, GE, Honeywell and Rolls-Royce. Additional potential market areas include: marine propulsion, rail transport, rocketry, land based power generation turbines, downstream crude oil refining, oil shale conversion, and government and academic laboratories.

Beethoven's piano sonatas by
Professor Greenberg combines perceptive analysis of extensive musical excerpts with historical anecdotes, metaphors, and humor to show what goes on inside a musical composition: how it came to be written, how it works, and how--as is often the case with Beethoven--it may break all former rules to achieve a completely new and powerful effect. This course is somewhat technical and although musical knowledge is helpful, it is not a necessity.

(The Polish death/doom band Death Has Spoken released their excellent second album three months ago, and it prompted Comrade Aleks to reach out for an interview, which we now present.)
I don’t remember how I discovered the Polish death-doom band Death Has Spoken, but I decided to interview them as soon as I found titles of H.P. Lovecraft’s stories in their second album Call of the Abyss (2021). Lovecraft and death-doom metal – that’s enough for me to reach out and get in contact with the band.
Thus the interview with Death Has Spoken‘s collective mind was an absolutely spontaneous thing, so heed the ‘Call of the Abyss’ and feel ‘Lurking Fear’ in our discussion with vocalist and guitarist Karol Pogorzelski!


Beijing, China -- Widespread availability of the dangerous RU-486 abortion pill has led to a huge increase in abortion among unmarried women in China, a recent report by the United States Embassy in Beijing has found.
The report claims that the use of the drug accounts for the wide discrepancy in official abortion statistics. Figures from the State Statistical Bureau indicate there are around seven million abortions a year, but the State Family Planning Commission says that the figure is closer to three million. The difference can also be explained by the number of single women having abortions, according to the report.
While all forms of contraception are freely available in China, RU-486 is a prescription drug. However, it is available on the black market in many Chinese cities for about $A30.
Chinese health officials are now concerned that the non-prescribed use of RU-486 could lead to infertility or other complications as the abortion drug is a lethal combination that requires extensive medical monitoring.
The pill was approved for use in China eight years ago and is now being manufactured in a number of Chinese cities. The US Food and Drug Administration only approved its use in September and the abortion drug will be made at a Chinese plant
Just how many Chinese women are having abortions is unclear. In 1992, the Ministry of Health and the State Family Planning Commission put the figure at 10 million. But the figures have since diverged sharply. The commission's figures do not include unmarried women and are based only on registered activity. By 1998, the health ministry said there were 7.4 million abortions to the commission's 2.6 million.
Statistical anomalies on such a scale are not unknown in China. Six million Bureau of Statistics officers this month headed into the field to attempt the mammoth task of gathering data for China's fifth national census. They were met with resistance from many families who did not wish to provide details of how many children they have, fearful of consequences under China's strict one-child policy.
The US Embassy report also found that abortions were being used to reinforce "some traditional biases in Chinese society [that] seem alive and well".
"Several Chinese population studies have shown that the male-to-female sex ratio increases sharply for second and subsequent births," the report found. "Ultrasound machines are widely (and illegally) used to facilitate sex-selective abortions in China."


As post-Grammy gigs go, it’s a very good one.

West Coast rapper Game recently opened up about featuring Beanie Sigel and Rick Ross on a R.E.D. Album track and said he former Roc-A-Fella star made them step up their rhymes.
Game said Beanie’s verse on “Heavy Artillery” forced them to re-write their verses.
“Me, Rick Ross and Beanie Sigel on a track called ‘Heavy Artillery,’ ” Compton’s lyrical barbarian revealed. “I’m definitely a fan of Beans. I did my verse first, sent it to them. Ross came back, and I was still comfortable with my verse. Beans came back — rewrite! [I had to] rewrite [my verse]. Sent [the track] back to Ross. Ross heard Beans: rewrite. Now we got what we need. Now everybody is on the same playing field. Beans, he sounds like he’s hungry, like he ain’t have his hair braided in six years and he ain’t ate in 10.” (MTV)
Def Jam VP of A&R Sha Money XL recently said Beanie Sigel was looking to make a rap comeback.
“Redman‘s getting ready to deliver. Method Man‘s getting ready to get started. Beanie Sigel, I had a conversation with him,” Sha revealed in an interview. “Hopefully he’ll get back over here. He’s here, but, just really getting in the mind frame like he’s getting ready to put an album out, getting right because he’s the sh*t.” (XXL Mag)
In addition to Beanie and Ross, Game has recruited Drake for his new album.
Cool & Dre were busy in the studio with The Game Wednesday, June 23rd recording a hot new track titled “Good Girl, Bad GirL” at Encore Studios in Burbank, California last week. Cool & Dre have 3 songs on the album titled “THE R.E.D. Album.” The single will feature a verse by hip-hop recording star Drake. Queen Latifah stopped by to hang with the superstars while they were recorded. (Press Release)
Despite initial plans to drop R.E.D. on August 24th, a lawsuit against Interscope Records is trying to keep the project off shelves.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the suit, which was filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, alleges that Universal Music Group broke a previous agreement with Desperado Entertainment and has been collecting publishing and royalties from the West Coast rapper’s sales, when they were only entitled to advances from record sales. The company claims that it had a large hand in turning the Compton-native into the platinum selling artist that he is today, and wants to be properly compensated. Desperado Entertainment states that it is owed royalties from the sales of previous Game albums. He has sold over five million records in his career. In addition, the law suit seeks to prevent the release of Game’s upcoming The R.E.D. Album. (XXL Mag)

Ray Nagin, Former New Orleans Mayor, Found Guilty Of Corruption
Former New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin was found guilty of 20 counts of conspiracy, bribery, wire fraud and tax fraud on Wednesday, Feb. 12.
Nagin first took office in 2002 and kept his position as New Orleans mayor until 2010. He was indicted on corruption charges in January of 2013. Accused of accepting hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes from various businesses who desired tax breaks or city contracts, Nagin maintained his innocence throughout the investigation and trial and his lawyer announced that he would be appealing the court’s guilty verdict.
“Obviously, I’m surprised. Now we’re moving on to the appeal process,” defense attorney Robert Jenkins told the press following the verdict.
Nagin Found Guilty Of Bribery, Conspiracy, Fraud
Nagin was found guilty on one count of conspiracy, five counts of bribery, nine counts of honest services wire fraud, one count of money laundering conspiracy and four counts of filing false tax returns. Those 20 counts include one charge of accepting a $60,000 bribe from engineering firlm, Three Fold Consulting, and dolling out “favorable treatment” during his tenure as Mayor to multiple companies, most often receiving at least $12,000 as payment. Nagin was found not guilty of only one of the 21 counts brought against him in court and could be sentenced to up to 20 years in prison.
Nagin insists he is innocent, and his defense tried to paint him as a scapegoat during the trial, as many of the witnesses brought against him by the prosecution were businessmen who had already pleaded guilty to bribing the former mayor.
Things were not going well for Nagin after the witnesses took the stand, and he tried to redeem his case by taking the stand himself, but it did little to help in him the end as the jurors delivered a unanimous verdict.
A week of entertainment news in your in-box.
We find the news you need to know, so you don't have to.
Nagin will return to his home in Frisco, Tex., while he awaits sentencing and is expected to be held under house arrest.

Migrant children burden local education systems
Regarding "Schools brace for up to 50,000 migrants" (USA TODAY-Arizona Republic, Aug. 7):
"Under federal law, all children are entitled to a free public education, regardless of their immigration status," according to the article.
Federal law trumps local decisions on education again.
Wow, that means more than 50,000 illegal immigrant children from the recent border crash and those already here in the border states, major cities and communities across the nation will receive free education, which includes books and supplies, food, computers and electronic devices and assistance from bilingual instructors. All this at the expense of taxpayers.
At the same time, parents of Arizona public school students receive their annual list of materials and suppliers they must purchase for their children while the local teachers spend their own money on materials and supplies for their classrooms.
Some policies just don't seem right!

This paper describes a novel streamline-based rate allocation approach to maximize oil recovery from polymerfloods and its application to an ongoing polymerflood in the Mangala field, India which is one of the largest polymerfloods in the world. With over 130 injectors and producers, the field-scale optimization is challenging because of the long simulation times, operational constraints at the well, group and field level and changing field conditions.
The FM-1 unit which is the main producing zone of the Mangala field comprises of multi-layered single storied fluvial channel sands of thickness ranging 3-10m with excellent flow characteristics. The gross thickness of FM-1 is about 90m. The sand is under a five-spot pattern polymerflood with a well spacing of aproximately 200m. A finite difference simulator is used for modeling the polymerflood performance with all relevant physics (mobility control, adsorption, residual resistance factor, polymer rheology/shear thinning, inaccessible pore volume and time-dependent degradation). Streamlines are generated from the flux field extracted from the finite difference simulation and are used to calculate pair-wise efficiency for each injector-producer streamline bundle. The pair-wise efficiency quantifies how much oil is recovered given a barrel of water injection. The streamline-based optimizer iteratively reallocates the fluids to injectors and producers by diverting the injected fluid to high efficiency pairs located in unswept oil regions. After optimization, injection efficiency plots as well as streamline/time of flight plots are used to examine and visualize the flow pattern changes leading to the improved flood performance.
The reservoir model is first calibrated with 10 years of waterflood history. The polymer injection concentration and tapering schemes are determined based on extensive laboratory experiments. The optimization focuses on reallocating the well rates while maintaining the well, group and field level constraints. Two optimization scenarios were studied to examine the potential benefits of rate allocation: (1) optimization of rate allocation for both injectors and producers, (2) optimization of rate allocation for injectors only. Both the scenarios yield improved oil recovery (~5 MMSTB), accelerated production and reduced polymer usage (utility factor). The streamline and injection efficiency plots clearly reveal regions of improved sweep efficiencies, providing an intuitive explanation of the enhanced performance.

Construction output has soared, despite the wider UK economy beginning to slow, according to the latest figures from the Office of National Statistics (ONS).
A combination of storm repair works and projects restarting after COVID has helped to boost the sector.
The ONS figures reveal that construction output rose by 3.8 per cent, or £539m, during the first three months of 2022, compared with the previous year, and now stand at 1.9 per cent above pre-pandemic levels.
Increases were recorded in both new work, which rose by 2.8 per cent, and repairs, which increased by 5.5 per cent year on year. Seven of the nine ONS-monitored construction sectors saw a rise in work, with only infrastructure and public new work seeing falls.
Non-housing repair and maintenance soared by 7.4 per cent. Overall, construction output saw its strongest monthly growth since the first quarter of 2017.
The ONS stated that construction’s monthly output had risen for the fifth-consecutive month to £14.9bn in March. Total new work was £9.3bn, while repairs and maintenance stood at £5.7bn.
Alongside the rise in output, the ONS construction price index soared, reflecting an increase in the price of raw materials such as steel, concrete, timber and glass, “contributing to an overall rise in material costs across the quarter”.
Commenting on the figures, Tony Shaw, managing director of Henry Boot Construction, said: “The biggest challenge is ensuring that projects are able to be delivered in line with cost proposals and contracts, with the price of materials rising rapidly, highlighted in today’s data […]
“Early and collaborative engagement between customers, main contractors and subcontractors will be essential for leveraging market knowledge and delivering projects in this environment.”
The ONS stated that “anecdotal evidence from returns received for our Monthly Business Survey for construction and allied trades suggested storms between 16 and 21 February 2022 resulted in businesses seeing a higher workload in March 2022. This is because of the repair work derived from the storms.”
Beard Construction also noted that the storms across the UK, which damaged buildings such as the O2 arena in London, had potentially helped to temporarily boost the output figures.
The contractor’s finance director, Fraser Johns, said: “The monthly growth figures are potentially skewed by repair and maintenance work done after the two winter storms. Meanwhile, all-important new work in March sits at 1.6 per cent below February 2020 levels.
“Perhaps most concerning is the continuing rise in the price of raw materials, such as steel, concrete, timber and glass. This has pushed price growth in the construction industry to its highest level since records began and remains a challenge to competitive tendering.”

When workers sustain an injury on the job, they may need to receive workers’ compensation benefits. According to the Department of Labor and Workforce Development, workers should speak to their supervisors when they sustain an injury. Many workers may need medical care and they should discuss treatment with their employer.
Once employers learn about the injury, they have to speak to their insurance company. The insurance company determines whether workers are eligible for workers’ compensation and provides the benefits people need as they recover. However, if an employer does not want to provide benefits, people need to know what to do.
How to manage disputes
Sometimes employers may decide that an injured worker does not qualify for workers’ compensation. The Department of Labor and Workforce Development says that in this situation, people may need to file a claim. People can file either an informal or a formal claim. The key difference is that an informal claim does not involve litigation. If workers choose this option, they and their employers may have a meeting with the judge to discuss the situation. A judge may give advice but people can disregard it if they do not feel it is a good solution.
If people file a formal claim, it may take longer for them to resolve the situation. They may not have their first hearing for six months after they file the claim. However, this step may be necessary if workers and their employers cannot come to an agreement.
When to file a claim
If an employer does not agree to provide workers’ compensation, people should not wait to file a claim. They usually need to file a claim within two years after sustaining their injury.

Alabama Political Reporter
On Tuesday, January 13, the President of the United States, Barack H. Obama, gave his final State of The Union Address. Jonathan McConnell (R candidate for US Senate) and Becky Gerritson (R candidate for US House 2nd District) both released statements critical of the President’s vision for America
Gerritson said, “Leading up to last night’s State of the Union address, all we were told to expect was a focus on “the big things that will guarantee an even stronger, better, more prosperous America for our kids—the America we believe in.”
McConnell said, “I, like most Americans, am glad tonight was the last time President Obama will be given the House floor to lay out his disastrous vision for America. Over the last seven years he has reigned unchecked from the White House, unduly wielding power ceded by a Congress eager to pass the buck.”
Gerritson said, “He spoke of creating a “new economy that works for us all” through ideas that would cripple the weakened economy we already have by broadening—not reforming—universal health care, Social Security and Medicare. He admitted that Islamic terrorists pose severe threats to our nation’s people while in almost the same breath defending the intake of thousands of un-vetted refugees from ISIS-infested lands and scoffing at our military’s rapidly declining budget. And he insisted America join him in playing Don Quixote—abandoning our natural energy industries to fight the mythical windmills of climate change.”
McConnell attacked his Primary opponent, incumbent Senator Richard Shelby, “”Far from being a thorn in Obama’s side, establishment Republicans like Richard Shelby have done little but rubber stamp his foreign and domestic policy, confirming Hillary Clinton and John Kerry and failing to defund Obamacare and Planned Parenthood. Just a few weeks ago the debt ceiling was raised once again—something Shelby has done 20 times during his 37-year career in DC—saddling generations with trillions of dollars of national debt.”
Gerritson continued, “Yet, it was perhaps his overall insistence that he was proposing a better country for our kids that struck me as the most outlandish. Last night, we watched a man stand in front of the country demanding a brighter future for children while sending government money to a corporation that murders them for profit. Before we can talk about how to build more prosperous lives for our kids, we have to first build a country that allows them a life at all.”
McConnell said, “On March 1st Alabamians will cast their ballots for new leadership across the state and to represent them in Washington, DC, but the man or woman selected for the Oval Office is only one facet of how we must work to right the ship.”
Gerritson said, “The First Lady sat next to an empty chair meant to represent the children killed by gun violence. If the President had wanted to represent our country’s children killed by legal abortion, there would have been no one left in the chamber to applaud.”
McConnell stated, “I’m running for US Senate because we can’t fix 2016’s problems by reelecting the same career politicians who caused them; because our nation’s credit card bill will soon come due and we must actually make the cuts and reforms necessary to preserve the American dream; and because I fought too hard in Iraq for our nation to continue down this path toward an ever more intrusive big government.”
Gerritson said, “I do agree with our President on one thing, that we absolutely must do something to create a better world for our future generations. And that begins by ensuring we have future generations with the defunding of Planned Parenthood and the restoration of a nation that defines life the way God defines it—beginning at conception.”
Gerritson is well known for her conservative activism and presidency of the Wetumpka Tea Party. Gerritson and her group were among the conservatives allegedly targeted by Lois Lerner and a rogue unit of IRS investigators. Despite the destruction of subpoenaed evidence, to date no one has been imprisoned for any actions associated with the IRS scandal.
Gerritson is seeking the seat in Congress currently held by Congresswoman Martha Roby (R-Montgomery).
McConnell is a former Marine Corps Captain who served in Iraq.
While Republican challengers and incumbents alike have attacked President Obama, if elected the next Congress will have to deal with a new President to be named by the American people in the rapidly approaching primaries and November election.

Demo version. Official track to be released at a later date.
A foggy day in my mountain home and I was dreaming of getting out.
Tattered dreams with a broke estate and plenty of wasted space
to fill my mind with possibilities of things I could never say
A blue light burns a hole inside; my soul is ready to break
Growing comfortable with stranger friends, reminiscing of a better life
Loosing grip on reality and what it never meant to me
These people live, but they never think -- at least believe they're free
Concerns of love and happy endings seem too deep to be conceived
And I said, "hey, maybe time would be enough, it would be all we need to grow away from this lack of sympathy, this discontent we breed. The window of our potential has been shattered through by the likes of you." And I'm ready to build it again.
I just want to share with you the little things that make me smile, the happiness that's always there in the colder places of life.
Stepping back from myself, I find there's so much to be learned. There's bridges to be burned and scars to be healed
The happiness that we both enjoyed, the sunshine that we shared, are only kept alive with a melody of a memory impaired.
I'm ready to build it again.

BUSINESS TEAM DEVELOPMENT: BUILD A THRIVING TEAM
In the Business Team Development program, we focus on connecting with our mental well-being by understanding how our minds work, from the inside out. This journey kicks off with an exciting 3-day Intensive and is followed by interactive sessions filled with presentations and discussions to help your team experience 'a-ha' moments and apply what they've learned to create positive change for your business.
The BIGGEST issue that most teams and companies overlook that has the most impact on team performance is a lack of mental wellbeing within the team.
It's tricky because it's an invisible problem that you only experience when symptoms start occurring.
Symptoms of a lack of mental wellbeing often manifest in a company's team in the form of higher levels of stress, lack of motivation, burnout, problems with communication and an overall drop in performance.
Because Leaders will experience the symptoms first, they will rush to try and heal the symptoms with quick fixes (that never last) because the real cause is over-looked; a lack of mental wellbeing within the team
The solution is to tap into your company's greatest untapped resource, which is the innate wisdom, innate health and capacity for insight in your people.
When your teams get a sense of the inside-out nature of their experience, they are less insecure and tap into a greater level of resilience, clarity, and well-being.
When the bar of mental well-being is raised, teams are much more able to follow and be impacted by effective leadership, which leads to better performance with less stress, less pressure and more joy.
"Any company's greatest untapped resource is the innate wisdom, health and capacity for insight in it's people"
— Invisible Power by Ken Manning, Robin Charbit, & Sandra Krot
how does it work?
We'll schedule time to explore what's really at stake for you and your company. We'll look at what you hope to achieve by working with me.
And from our conversation and reflection I'll share what I see as being possible for you and your company. Then I'll share how I work and what you can expect moving forward.
By the end of the call, we'll create an agreement on objectives and outcomes for working together.
To get a better sense of your business and organization, I'll do short 30 min intake interviews with people from your organization. I want to understand their challenges, objectives, processes, and the issues involved.
I want to get a good sense of your organization's culture as well. This will help make the content shared in the main program relevant to you and your team.
The main theme for each program is focused on exploring how the mind works; seeing who we truly are from the inside out, and understanding where our experience is coming from moment to moment.
The program usually starts with a 3x Day Intensive followed by follow up sessions. The sessions include presentations and discussions around the main topics.
The sessions are highly engaging, allows participants the space for their own insights and inspires application of what they are learning.
Follow ups help me to check in with you as an individual and an organization to see where you are with your learning and the results that are being created.
It's a chance to support you in areas that you and your organization are stuck on. Follow ups also act as on-going learning, mentoring and support for participants as well.
What's on offer?

I’ve never been a fan of the horror genre. I spook way too easily, and I dislike
replaying enhancing scenes from horror/suspense books and movies while I’m alone. My earliest memory of movie-related fear was going up to our shared bathroom during dinner to pee, and all alone in the darkened second-floor of our house, I suddenly visualized the elephants from Jumanji stampeding towards me while I sat on the toilet seat. One of the biggest scares I’ve ever had in my life.
(And yes, I know, Jumanji isn’t even horror.)
I’ve heard of Feed, by Mira Grant, multiple times before. It wasn’t high on my to-read list, mostly because, well, horror. I’m a wuss, okay? But I had exhausted October Daye and Incryptid and I was impatient for my next Seanan McGuire fix (she writes horror under the name Mira Grant). Lady does fantastic urban fantasy worlds. I needed something to tide me over. So, well, what the heck. Time to expand to other worlds.
All I knew before putting the audiobook on was that it had zombies and that it was the first book in the Newsflesh trilogy. I went in knowing next to nothing about the book. (That’s kind of normal for me–if I’m reading something that comes from an author I know and love, I tend to just get down to reading, instead of finding out what the story is all about from behind the book.) Of course, in case you’re not as easily swayed as I am, here’s the back cover:
“Alive or dead, the truth won’t rest. My name is Georgia Mason, and I am begging you. Rise up while you can.”
The year was 2014. We had cured cancer. We had beaten the common cold. But in doing so we had created something new, something terrible that no one could stop. The infection spread, virus blocks taking over bodies and minds with one, unstoppable command: FEED.
Now, twenty years after the Rising, Georgia and Shaun Mason are on the trail of the biggest story of their lives—the dark conspiracy behind the infected. The truth will out, even if it kills them.
It’s a blend of dystopian zombie fiction, medical thriller, and political novel rife with conspiracies all wrapped up in one. I’m not so much for zombie thrillers (my only zombie book is Pride and Prejudice and Zombies) but the latter two are a win for me.
Why did no one tell me this earlier?
The premise was irresistible. When I was a child, I wanted to be an investigative journalist. I wanted to be Lois Lane, Superman optional. I wanted to get into the thick of things and find out the truth and tell the world about it. I don’t think I’ve grown out of it, truth be told–just ended up in a vastly different industry than initially planned. The fact that Georgia is an investigative blogger–a “Newsie” in the book’s world–is just too inviting.
That said, it did take a while before I could relate to her, from whose perspective we follow most of the book, with occasional cuts into Shaun’s point of view. I’m not entirely sure why, but I am attributing it to (1) being completely in the blind about the premise of the book, and (2) the fact that she is a Newsie–not exactly someone brimming with emotion. What she does have is a clear narrative voice that I had come to miss whenever it cut to someone else’s point of view. I think, ultimately, it is this clarity that solidifies my emotional connection to her by the latter half of the book, over the other characters: it became easier to “fill in the blanks” with such a clear canvas.
The world they operate in is well done. It’s believable, with just enough distance from today to give you that sense of escaping into a world that is different, yet hauntingly the same. I loved the references to tech that is present today, and I’m glad Apple survived the Rising (I have way too many iOS apps). I laughed at Urban Survival Barbie. I loved the references to using the Marburg virus to cure cancer (The Hot Zone by Richard Preston, admittedly, started a brief fling with a “I want to study virology” phase). The detail with how the virus affects life and has transformed the world was admirable in its thoroughness. I loved how it doesn’t shy away from acknowledging that almost everyone in the world would have had a passable level of media exposure to zombie essentials, and life after such a Rising would be heavily influenced by what came before, when it was all just speculative fiction.
“Kellis-Amberlee is a fact of existence. You live, you die, and then you come back to life, get up, and shamble around trying to eat your former friends and loved ones. That’s the way it is for everyone.”
I have to say though, their fingertips have got to be mush with all the damn blood checks they go through. I hope I never have to go through that kind of testing. (Shudder.)
The plot itself is solid. It had enough twists that kept me guessing, and enough clues that it was satisfying when I finally received confirmation of who the bad guy is. Not missing, of course, were the loose ends after the ending: enough to make my fingers itch to get the next book in the trilogy, Deadline, immediately. (Thankfully, all books have been released now, so my need for immediate gratification will not be long suppressed.) Pacing was quick, lending itself well to Georgia’s clear POV. The ending was both shocking and comforting, handled well and with just the right mix of drama and restraint. It’s an ending that feels right all the way through.
I am certainly no expert on zombie fiction. I have read and watched little of zombie-related media (comprising of I Am Legend and Zombieland), so I’m not the best person to judge how original the worldbuilding was and how it matches up against other zombie fiction. But I will say this: it’s a very down-to-earth, realistic zombie novel that thrills you with the plot, rather than the horror. If you’re like me (but I hope you’re braver), give this a whirl and you won’t be sorry.

Swedish women have launched a campaign called Just Breasts which fights for their right to go topless on beaches and in swimming pools.
These want to be free. But only if they are Swedish.
Scandinavian feminists were outraged when two women were asked to cover up their breasts by a lifeguard at a public pool near Stockholm.
One of the pair (sorry), 22-year-old Ragnhild Karlsson, said: ‘If women are forced to wear a top, shouldn’t men also have to?’
As a result, women in southern Sweden set up the Bara Bradiost network, which translates as ‘Just Breasts’.
A spokeswoman for the group said: ‘We want our breasts to be as normal and desexualised as men’s, so that we too can pull off our shirts at football matches.’
So far, the campaign’s strategy has been devastatingly effective. Members of Just Breasts have been jumping into swimming pools across the country wearing nothing more than bikini bottoms.
This tactical masterstroke has caused an upheaval in Swedish law – the country’s equal opportunities ombudsman will decide whether or not to take up the case later this month.


But her new track does refer Eminem by name and goes on to say, “Once he go black, he’ll be back once more…” In the post, Minaj promotes her new track from her upcoming album, Queen, which she simply introduced has been pushed again to Aug. 10 from its original June 15 release. It would appear so, after a remark she left on an Instagram post on Thursday unveiling her new song, “Big Bank.” And Eminem has weighed in as properly in the affirmative.
Even his most zealous supporters marvel why Marshall Mathers is so secretive about his romantic side. Surely, it exists, so why has he been so resistant about disclosing any info to the basic public, especially if it could subvert expectations and painting him in a more sympathetic light? There has been longstanding speculation about his sexuality or lack thereof, whereas others assume he’s nonetheless pining for Kim. Since divorcing from ex-wife Kimberly Scott for a second time in 2006, he admitted the whole dating game had obtained the better of him. Meanwhile, Eminem – real name Marshall Mathers – had been having a garbage time of it too.

Nicki Minaj has lastly confirmed that she is indeed relationship rapper Eminem in response to a fan’s query on an Instagram publish on Friday. Well, it’s crystal clear that Nicki and Eminem usually are not dating each other, it was just a rumor that unfold two years back. Currently, both Nicki and Eminem are busy with their life. Moreover, Nicki is already married to her Prince charming Kenneth Petty. Marshall Bruce Mathers III, born on 17 October 1972, is a very known face of the world.

Fans wondered if they had been courting as a result of they had known one another for a protracted time. Eminem is doubtless one of the most well-known rappers in the world, but he has at all times saved his private life quiet. Fans are questioning if the rapper might be celebrating his induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with someone particular.
Eminem girlfriend & dating historical past explained
When Eminem Kamikaze’d himself against so-called mumble rappers and media critics in 2018, Bizarre hopped in Shady’s plane. Shortly after Eminem released his MGK diss track, Killshot, Biz’ launched his lyrical insult, Love Tap, aiming towards rapper-turn-pundit Joe Budden and Jay Electronica. After releasing Music to be Murdered By, Eminem grew to become the primary artist to have ten consecutive albums peaking atop of the US Billboard 200, and the victories did not cease there. Its second, Juice WRLD-assisted single, Godzilla, sees Eminem reminiscing his outdated Shady days and breaking his own world record for fastest rap. Its music video, directed by Cole Bennett from Lyrical Lemonade, was launched on March 10, 2020. To this date, it has more than 70 million views, and the quantity’s still rising.
Eminem once admitted that he has ‘belief issues’ & it’s ‘exhausting to meet new people’
Since then, D12 has by no means been the same, leaving us questioning what have the guys been up to right now. Back in 2019, a beforehand unreleased verse by Eminem was leaked, in which he was heard saying, “Of course I facet with Chris Brown / I’d beat a bitch down too,” Entertainment Weekly reported. There’s one thing to be said a few man who is able to preserve such a excessive commonplace of privateness this present day.
He talked about being seated subsequent to her in his famous song The Real Slim Shady and then again in Marshall Mathers where he known as her “garbage”. They obtained again together and remarried in 2006 only to separate again after a few months. The couple shares joint custody of their daughter Hailie and Eminem’s niece, Alaina Mathers.
Minaj had been mulling over asking Eminem to collaborate for a very lengthy time, and finally “went out on a whim” and requested again in 2010. Said Minaj to MTV News, “I despatched him one record, and he didn’t like it. He didn’t say, ‘I don’t love it’; he simply stated, ‘Can you send me something that’s slightly extra me? ’ I despatched him an e-mail and thanked him for that, simply having sufficient respect. He had the respect, at least, to deal with me like a peer.” The fiery results shot up to No. fifty six on the Billboard Hot a hundred. As the rumor mill heats up around the two superstar rappers, here is a crash course on their private relationship to date.
