Katy Nichole - "Hold On" (Official Music Video)

Lyrics:

Smoke clouds

All around

Couldn’t see your face

Darkness consumed me

Stuck in the bitterness

But I know there’s a light

That’s waiting up ahead

So, I’ll stay in the fight

And look to the one who said

Hold on just a little bit longer

I know it’s gonna be okay

These days are gonna make you stronger

You’ll find purpose in the pain

Hold on just a little bit longer

Deep down there’s a well of faith

Let hope arise as you’re lifting up my name

And just hold on, hold on, hold on

Your promise

It still stands

It’s chasing after me

The rainbow

Through storm clouds

Is how I’m gonna see

That there is a light

That’s waiting up ahead

So I’ll stay in the fight

And look to the one who said

Just wait til you see what’s at the end of the road

A new life is ready to unfold

Hold on just a little bit longer

I know it’s gonna be okay

These days are gonna make you stronger

You’ll find purpose in the pain

Hold on just a little bit longer

Deep down there’s a well of faith

Let hope arise as you’re lifting up my name

And just hold on, hold on, hold on

"When Harry took the stage at the Clinton Global Initiative on Tuesday morning, it was clear just how far he had come as a speaker and a public figure. He paced the stage, TED Talk–style, and used his personal cell phone as a visual aid. He began by discussing the Space Race, using it as an extended metaphor for the unforeseen effects that technology can have on our politics. Compared to the uplifting yet somewhat hesitant speeches he used to give five years ago, the prince was brimming with purpose when talking about Big Tech.

"'Our laws and regulations are different state-to-state, country-to-country—we may have different backgrounds, viewpoints, beliefs, and even access to the internet itself. But the one thing we can universally agree on is the safety of our children,' he said. 'So why, why do the leaders of these insanely powerful social media companies still refuse to change? Why are we holding them to the lowest ethical standards? In any other circumstance, a business would commit all resources to fixing the bug.'

"Unlike the trip to Nigeria or their August trip to Colombia—where Harry and Meghan spent a few days with the country’s vice president and got in a few cultural experiences—the duke’s multiday trip to Manhattan was all business. In under 72 hours, he packed in at least seven events with a handful of his charities, some of which have counted him as a patron for more than a decade. He gave prepared remarks at most of the events, which meant he was switching gears from subjects ranging from youth empowerment to minefields and conflict to the climate impacts of travel to the ongoing HIV/AIDS crisis in Southern Africa at the drop of the hat.

"Rather than focusing on the climate specifically, the trip was an opportunity for Harry to shine a spotlight on the teams that have helped him carry out his grand charitable plans. He was the headliner on Tuesday when the sustainable travel coalition Travalyst, which he founded in 2019, celebrated its fifth anniversary with a panel discussion and cocktail reception.

"On Monday, he celebrated the successes that the HALO Trust has had in demining Angola following the country’s devastating 26-year civil war, work that began with the support of Princess Diana in the final years of her life. He spoke about his 2019 visit to the same former minefield as his mother, in front of an audience that included three of the nonprofit’s current Angolan frontline workers.

...

"In a UN event with King Letsie III and Queen Masenate Mohato Seeiso of Lesotho on Tuesday, Harry explained why he is interested in talking about a range of issues in partnership with a variety of organizations across the world. 'Today we have gathered here in New York, a city known for its diversity and progress and whose example teaches us the importance of inclusion,' he said. 'Diverse perspectives, experiences and voices are crucial if we are going to forge a more equitable world. Partnerships are therefore fundamental to delivering change. Whether we’re addressing the changing climate and its effects on food security, advocating for children’s rights, or tackling the HIV epidemic, we cannot do it alone.'

...

"Harry and Meghan have always been more project-driven than his Windsor family relatives, a quality which was previously met with skepticism and some disdain from the palace staff. 'You can say what you want about Meghan, but she works incredibly hard,' an insider told Vanity Fair’s Katie Nicholl in 2020, months after their royal exit. 'The problem is she and Harry have a tendency to hatch big projects over dinner and expect them to be actioned within days.' It’s now been four years since they started their Archewell Foundation, and in his whirlwind trip, Harry’s charity appearances made the implicit argument that he has a lot to show for his years outside of the palace."

I don’t geek out over many things, but the WINTERJAM lineup? Nah I’m CONSPIRING that

They’re holding a challenge, and the winner gets two free jam nation passes, they just have to guess the lineup…

SO

Enjoy my ramble:

So WINTERJAM has created a formula for their shows: they need to check all the boxes for genres of artists

They need:

A huge artist to be the headliner

A rapper

A rock band

A worship artist

An EDM/Dance/hype music artist

And a more country/gospely kinda artist

So considering all of those things, here’s my lineup predictions based on THIS IMAGE they gave us:

So knowing this formula, and seeing very faint but still photos of the artist, here’s my predictions:

HEADLINER:

That’s obviously Crowder. Which kinda sucks, since everyone requested Skillet, but I love Crowder, though I wish they’d change it up once and a while

RAPPER:

The big hair? Obviously Lecrae. Plus, he’s on the rise with not only winning a Dove Award recently, but also staring in the upcoming movie “Journey To Bethlehem”

EDM/DANCE/HYPE ARTIST:

From the looks of the third image, I’m able to tell that it’s more than one or two people, it’s a group. So this is a band. Two of the biggest hype band groups are Elevation and Hillsong Young and Free, but after looking at two of their cover photos back to back and comparing it to the blurred out image, I believe it’s Hillsong Young and Free. They’re a great pick for this type of festival.

WORSHIP ARTIST:

This is the fourth image, and from what I can make out, it looks like one artist, and a girl one. So who’s a popular worship artist who’s a girl and would do super well at an event like this? Katy Nichole. Just won a dove award, just performed on the dove awards, has several radio hits on Christian Radio, she’s on the radar.

ROCK BAND:

Now, even though I hoped they would change it up, this looks like it’s gonna be Red. They just released a new album last month, and their popularity is growing a lot. Plus, Red is always WJs go to rock band when Skillet can’t attend or Disciple is off the radar (which, they should NEVER be off the radar because they are INCREDIBLE, but whatever)

COUNTRY/GOSPEL ARTIST

Ok, even though they don’t necessarily fall into this catagory, but they kinda do, here’s my prediction.

The blurred out image looks like 3 people, and this band was requested quite a bit…

It’s Cain!

PRE JAM:

Ok, now this is where things get hard. The pre jam usually brings under the radar, obscure, new artists to get their names out there. Here’s my predictions solely based on the images:

First image is Social Club Misfits, since it looks like a duo.

Second image, I have no idea, but I know it’s one dude.

Third image looks like a band, and I know an awesome band (that I really hope comes) that not only is still pretty little known but is ever so slightly becoming known, follows ALL of Winterjams socials, and even commented on the EXACT LINEUP GUESS POST with a fire emoji: that band is called Ignescent!

Don’t believe me? Here’s my proof:

Anyway rant over wooooo

[jamie333777]

I really appreciate the opportunity to share with you some of my testimony! I'm grateful for the social media outlets who allow different viewpoints! With that being said!

First of all I want to give all of The Glory to God! Ok here is how my life started!

When I was in my mother's womb and she was pregnant with me well my biological father wanted her to get an abortion! She said ok and lied to him so he gave her some money! Well she took the money and bought baby clothes and items for me with it! Praise God! You see friends, the enemy tried to take me out before I had ever been conceived! But thank God that God has the final say and all Authority in Jesus's Name! I grew up believing that my step father was my biological father until I was 11 years old! My oldest brother who lived with my grandmother told me one day that Anthony was not my father! He said that I needed to go talk to Oma (German for grandmother) and she would fill me in with all the details! So, she told me that Patrick Haney or Hanes was my biological father! I immediately called mom and asked her about it and that is when she told me the truth! I was upset with her but at the same time I was staying doped up and drunk to cover the pain! More of that in my next message! Anyway, I did officially meet Patrick and he denied everything and when I asked him to get a DNA test he said he didn't have the money so I offered to pay for it. But that was when I was about somewhere in my twenties and I just accepted the fact that my step father was my earthly father and that even though I was not living right I still Prayed for forgiveness was saved (but not Baptized in The Holy Spirit), would have made it to heaven and I understood that God loves me and He is and will always be my Abba Daddy!

You see I have a lot more to tell you about! However, I am going to obey the prompting of The Holy Spirit and stop for right now! If God has done with me what He has done then He can do it for anyone! Amen! 💯

7 People You’d Like to Know Better

Thank you @skyrim-forever ! I pass the torch to: @john-liberal @theauthor27 @dynamite124 @kynarreth @rock-pikmin-is-funny @serbiadisturbia @gemsweater72

Last song listened to: Be my Everything (English Version). It’s a solo song from one of the members of a K-pop group named Purple Kiss, and it’s fantastic! Great vocals, even though I do prefer the other song from the single more.

Currently Watching: Nashville (2013) and the new season of The Dragon Prince. I only have one episode of Nashville left and it’s the finale, so that’s pretty sad. I’m three episodes into season 5 of Dragon Prince and really liking it! I’m glad the animation has improved since the beginning.

Currently Reading: Nothing now. I just finished Dear Mothman by Robin Gow and loved it though! It is written for young teens, but it’s a really great queer narrative and is written through some very nice free verse poetry.

Current Obession: It’s mainly Skyrim (liked it so much I made a Tumblr blog for it, after all), but since I talk a lot about that, I’ll also mention Hollow Knight. I’m playing it right now and it’s very hard, but very good! I like how little handholding it does.

Buckingham Palace

Now that the Queen has passed away and King Charles has taken the throne, he’ll be moving out of his residence at Clarence House in London, which he’s shared with Camilla since 2005, into Buckingham Palace, where he plans to live in a ‘flat above the shop’.

This will be a more efficient way of working, because most of the royal business is conducted at Buckingham Palace too. He also reportedly has plans to open up more of Buckingham Palace to the public.

At the moment, the state rooms are open for public tours between July and October. But there’s speculation that he’ll open up more of the Palace, and that it will be open all year round.

“I think [King Charles] will base himself at Buckingham Palace, but he’s not going to take over the whole palace, more of it is going to be opened up,” Katie Nicholl, Royal correspondent for Vanity Fair, told the Royal Beat.

The reason for the changes is that the King is aware of the increasing demands from the public to justify the existence of the monarchy, and the public funding they receive. Opening up more of the property is one way of responding to those concerns.

The reason the royal palaces were opened to the public in the first place was because Windsor Castle has a massive fire in 1992, and there was public outrage at the suggestion that the public should fund rebuilding and repairs to the historic — uninsured — building.

So, the royal family set about opening their houses, so they could fund the repairs themselves. And I think they gained some respect for that.

Katie Nicholl, Royal correspondent for Vanity Fair, continued on the subject of the new King and changes at the Palace…

“Questions are going to be asked, people are going to want to know what’s next, and I think he’s going to be pretty open and pretty transparent.” (source)

It’ll be interesting to see what the future holds for Britain’s monarchy — I suspect many changes are afoot. Not least, King Charles is keen to address the anti-royalists, and those who’d rather have a republican state.

He wants to have that conversation and talk to people about the future of the monarchy. He’s even reportedly proposed a ‘slimmed down’ royal family — which could include as few as seven key people, with the rest of the royals stripped of their royal titles and public roles.

[yemme]

This no good motherfuckin’ colonizer has the audacity to sit pretty now as King and questions the word TRUST in his son.  A word he does not even understand.  As he sits gleefully with his whore mistress Camilla who now has a title of QUEEN CONSORT that he begged his mummy to get for her before she died.  The whore that had a hand in murdering your child’s mother has a TITTLE because she couldn’t stop riding your dick.  Royal bloodline you attempt to deny but not for your whore.  The Royal Family.  Yes... Royal shit indeed.

Adam's 14 votes couldn't hold up to Aaron's 121.

Adam arrived in the village in 2009 with his family of five. He had at that point two siblings Holly and Matty who was pre-transition and still went by his deadname. He quickly befriends Aaron, the local troublemaker teen who makes a surprising pass at Adam after a car accident. He is initially shocked but Aaron was adamant on being straight. He saw Aaron kiss Jackson and told Aaron that his sexuality had no bearing on their relationship. He dated Scarlett Nicholls for a while but took an interest in Mia Macey whom he began dating following a New Year's kiss. Adam cheats on Mia with her mother Ella Hart. Adam loses the man who he thought was his father in a car accident. John had tried to get things on track with Moira after she had an affair with local mechanic Cain. Adam in the midst of grieving tries to burn Cain alive in his garage but ends up saving him. Aaron can't see Adam go to prison and he takes the blame for the fire and flees the country with his new boyfriend Ed. He gets mixed up in some dodgy dealings and drunkenly runs local Kerry Wyatt over. Cain comes to his rescue. After the suspicious death of one Alex Moss Adam flees the country. The real killer Cameron Murray gets arrested making Adam able to come home. During his 22nd birthday late John's brother James began wondering if it would be possible Adam is his son after all. He does a DNA test and confronts Moira. Adam starts to have problems as he has endless seeming shenanigans with women, including Katie and Leyla, and his dabbling with drugs. He does more dodgy dealings with his brother Ross but Aaron intervenes. The whole ordeal ends in Donna, Ross' girlfriend and police, killing herself. Adam confesses the old arson to be his doing thus clearing Aaron's name and allowing him to stay in Emmerdale. He goes to prison. After release he vows to win his ex-girlfriend Victoria back. He is successful and they marry. Vanessa gives birth to Johnny whose paternity is murky. Adam thinks Johnny is his but turns out he is Kirin's child. Adam and Victoria try for a baby of their own but it turns out Adam is infertile and it is very unlikely he would ever father a child. With Aaron in his life he helps his best friend deal with the court case against Aaron's sexually abusive father. He confesses the murder of Emma Barton to spare his mother from prison. She is struggling with a new baby he had with Cain and Adam doesn't want to see his mother in prison. Aaron and Cain break him out of a prison van and he flees the country again, this time for good. Adam has plenty of half-siblings. Pete, Ross and Finn from James' side and Holly, Matty and Isaac from Moira's side. He lost Finn to murder and Holly to heroin. He was a kind friend and brother.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's adorable birthday party plans for son Archie revealed

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's adorable birthday party plans for son Archie revealed

Lockdown won’t stop the Duke and Duchess of Sussex from celebrating their son’s first birthday in Malibu, California.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have an organic homemade birthday cake, meaningful gifts and fun on the cards for their son Archie's first birthday.

Royal expert Katie Nicholl exclusively tells OK! “Meghan’s an amazing cook and loves being creative in the kitchen so I think she’ll have been busy baking so Archie can enjoy his first taste of birthday cake this week. It will be organic and possibly sugar-free. Something suitably healthy for a one year old.

“If the weather’s good, I think they’ll be splashing around in the pool too.” 

With the Sussexes self-isolating, Meghan’s mum Doria Ragland, who lives a 40-minute drive away in Los Angeles, will have to wish her grandson a happy birthday from a safe distance on 6 May. But Archie won’t be lonely thanks to the presence of his best pals, Guy the Beagle and Oz the Labrador.

“Those two dogs are the family’s saving grace,” says Katie. “They’re extremely good with Archie and he’s very used to them. With no playdates in the diary, I think they’re his best friends at the moment.”

When it comes to gifts, Archie certainly won’t go without on his big day, but that doesn’t mean he’ll be spoilt rotten.

“Archie has everything he needs but his parents don’t spend silly money on toys and clothes,” says Katie. “Gifts for his new nursery will be welcome but they’ll also appreciate presents that hold meaning rather than material value, such as a donation to a children’s charity or sponsoring an animal in the wild.”

There were reports that HM the Queen was buying him a wooden rocking horse, but Katie says, “that’s not really her style, she tends to give understated gifts.” She adds, “The Queen will wish him happy birthday this week via Zoom as will the Cambridge children. They haven’t seen their little cousin in months so they’ve been looking forward to seeing how much he’s grown.”

Something Archie would no doubt love is a sibling. “A little brother of sister for Archie is very much on the agenda,” reports Katie. “Harry says they’d stop at two so that’s a good indication that two is the magic number for them. They do have a lot going on at the moment, looking for a permanent residence, preparing the launch of their charity and finding their feet in a new town, but they seem to relish being busy and it really wouldn’t surprise me if we get a pregnancy announcement.”

It’s believed that Harry and Meghan currently have their nanny, housekeeper and a private security team staying on the premises. “They’re a hands-on couple so they don’t require a chef or butler,” says Katie. “They’ve never wanted a big entourage at home, partly because they don’t like the fuss but also because they’re quite private.”

Archie is already the most well-travelled royal for his age, visiting southern Africa on his first royal tour last autumn, nipping over to France to see ‘uncle Elton’ and, according to Meghan’s friend Serena Williams, a trip to New York. He has also called Canada and Windsor his home.

“Now the Sussexes are based in the States, Archie’s life will be very different from that of his cousins with far less formality and tradition,” says Katie. “He’ll speak with an American accent and experience a completely different culture. He’ll also be mingling with the children of Hollywood stars, although it’s fair to say that it’s Archie who’ll be the most popular playdate for some time to come.”

Someone who knows all about sunny California-living is local resident and famed showbiz reporter Sam Rubin.

“Thanks to the good climate, Archie will enjoy a great outdoors lifestyle growing up,” he tells OK! “Harry plays polo, so when Archie’s older he might want to take him riding at one of the exclusive equestrian centres. Hiking and surfing will also be on offer.”

Describing the school system as “very competitive”, Sam suggests that Archie’s name will already be on the waiting list of “one of the elite private nursery schools”. He thinks The Center for Early Education in West Hollywood, where Beyonce and Jay-Z’s eight-year-old daughter Blue Ivy goes, is a potential.

Another contender is The Nest School in Brentwood, which takes children from two years and nine months. With its Montessori-based teaching, it boasts that “the individual spirit of the child is our first priority”. Classes include yoga, art appreciation and language skills. With Malibu a hotspot for earthquakes, Archie will also learn the ‘Duck and Cover’ earthquake drill too.

Sam says it’s no surprise that the couple picked Malibu as their US base, especially with close friends Ellen DeGeneres, Priyanka Chopra and James Corden living nearby. He’s even picked out the private, gated-community in Sierra Canyon as the perfect permanent base for the family in the future.

“Malibu has become a very sought-after location during lockdown. Places are being snapped up and Harry and Meghan were lucky to get in when they did.”
