The Beatles: FBI cadet flunked for remedial English, found in Whitey Bulger's art pin tell set out of the Boston Crows (United Health Associates), Ali Baba; Mark David Chapman, signaled by Israeli Defense Forces, over monitored phone line, to respond to planted song by George H.W. Bush Sr., "Eleanor Rigby"; a spy's song, to reject the priesthood.

Lynyrd Skynyrd: Rumor that little known artist, and former member of CSN, Neil Young, was disliked by Ronnie Van Zant; the "t-shirt" rumor, that Ronnie Van Zant's mother, disliked Neil Young for "Wooden Ships" being favored over "Baptist Cross"; the latter, a Klansman's song, the former, a refusal of a Klanswoman.  Both, created by Crosby, Stills, and Nash; Young a former musician for the band, as a quartet.

Michael Jackson: Suggestion to Jackson Five, that MI-6 victim, Ted Bundy, was a US President; the movement of "Helter Skelter", the Manson case, as written on prosecutor's memoir by switched birth with Charles Manson, Vincent Bugliosi, into each song by Michael Jackson.  Pedophile rumors, once Ted Bundy's trial occurred, since Bundy, was rumored to have killed a 12 year old child; actually a British Mob setup, given Ted Bundy's murder of a major criminal, as a vigilante act to save his wife.

David (SIS Hanoi, NSA HUMINT):

Recruiting Officer: Sandi MacDonald.

Administrating Officer: Allison Haimes.

Broadway: Marijuana support of New York mutual funds for Broadway, Showtunes, and Musicals, through the "ice show budget", shut down with an internalized marijuana pricing system; MUSH is run through Los Angeles Chinese Triads, for sales of monetized artist pieces and parts, while banks of New York City collapse into "Occupy" movement, to get marijuana on free prices.  Impossible, given anyone's commodities and workplace sense, even more given economic situation creation; proof of failure of business and advertising sense, without marijuana available for highschool students.

Mass Health: Romney Care, and Obama Care, replaced by Baker's Non-Payer Pilgrim Health, specifically for state of Massachusetts; criminal rates reduced, and prosecution of those expecting mandatory health care attendance, by Massachusetts State Police under own laws of State Legislature; legislature and civics terms, failed by corrections staff of foreign states to the United States logic of Massachusetts, leading to the removals of bailiffs staff with influence over Massachusetts; the freedom of farmers, those places where State Police get wives, to ply prostitute's debt, out of INTERPOL, the prostitute's union for police wives.  Now illegal, under Baker's reforms, through the shutdown of Israeli medical testing enterprises.

Magic Hat: The temporary removal, of Magic Hat #9 and Harpoon IPA, from the shelves of United States national liquor stores, to force Sam Adams on the country, instead of New England's very popular beers, outside the lager market.  The expense, of Sam Adams, for a proper alcoholic having been raised on Budweiser and Rubinoff, for German North Ireland police unions of teachers and special education guided labor.  Now, "pilsner" is considered pedophiliac to discuss, unless wedded, and "ale", is the common internet trend, for highschoolers; Alcoholics Anonymous numbers, crashing through the floor and basement, since ale is a temporary drink, once in a while; not lager, designed to hook intelligent students into alcoholism, for labor margins investments.

Pussy Riot: The murder of INTERPOL cadets and agencies, of East German origin, as "The Batman"; the betrayal of the Montreal Mafia, not for refusing the Bat's legend of murder being refused, but murder being considered the use of a "hand gun"; any firearms.  The use of empty hand and one's own wits, through father and literature classes, to determine means and necessity of death; the resistance to the National Rifle Association, on behalf of the National Security Agency's "Human Intelligence" division, the street courier shutting down international hacks of records, phones, and computers, as every American citizen is promised; and others, a disturbing newspaper article, maybe for online news, of a student's rights being compromised by Canadian Nortel dependent police.

In a strategic move that could reshape the competitive landscape of online search, Perplexity AI has announced plans to introduce advertising on its AI-powered search engine by the fourth quarter of this year. This initiative comes on the heels of a publisher program established with prominent partners such as IME, Der Spiegel, Fortune, Entrepreneur, The Texas Tribune, and WordPress, signaling a robust commitment to integrating advertising as a core part of its business model. The online search industry is still relatively young, providing a ripe opportunity for companies aiming to capitalize on this expanding market. Traditional competitors, including Google and Microsoft, have long dominated the scene, leveraging advertising as a primary revenue stream. Google has innovated its search features by integrating AI to generate concise summaries for user queries, while Microsoft's Bing has embraced OpenAI technologies, embedding advanced AI capabilities to enhance user experiences. The potential implications of Perplexity AI's advertising plans are significant. Google's longstanding supremacy in search has allowed it to establish an incredibly valuable business through its ad-based revenue model. The introduction of Perplexity AI's advertising could pose a direct challenge to Google's market dominance, especially as users become increasingly inundated with AI-enhanced features across different platforms. Advertisers and businesses are constantly looking for more efficient ways to reach audiences. As AI technologies become more integrated into search engines, this represents an evolution in how advertisements can be served—tailored to the specific intent and context of user searches. Perplexity AI's latest venture comes at a time when the demand for unique and effective advertising avenues is at an all-time high. Critics might argue that the landscape is already saturated with advertisement-laden services. However, Perplexity AI seeks to differentiate itself by leveraging the specific nuances of AI technology. For instance, unlike traditional advertising, AI can analyze user interactions and preferences in real-time, enabling highly personalized and relevant ads that could lead to better engagement rates. Evidence suggests that consumers increasingly favor companies that utilize innovative technology to enhance their experiences. A recent survey indicated that 72% of consumers prefer products from brands that use AI for personalization. By implementing a sophisticated advertising model, Perplexity AI could effectively tap into this preference, offering clients a platform where their messaging resonates more forcefully. Moreover, the partnership with renowned publishers indicates that Perplexity AI is positioning itself as more than just a search engine. It aims to become a comprehensive advertising ecosystem, giving advertisers access to premium content spaces alongside their advertisements, further enriching the user experience and engagement levels. Industry analysts recognize the fact that the realm of AI in search engines is still in its initial stages, and further innovations can be expected as players evolve. The introduction of advertising by Perplexity AI is an essential step that may inspire similar strategies among other emerging competitors. This could prompt a wave of creativity and innovation in implementing advertising solutions that better serve both advertisers and users alike. To summarize, Perplexity AI's introduction of advertising marks a pivotal moment in the evolution of search engines. As the company gears up to launch its advertising capabilities, it challenges existing giants while also promising a more tailored experience for both users and advertisers. This scenario is a clear reflection of the interconnectedness of technology, advertising, and consumer preferences, underscoring the importance of adopting innovative strategies in a competitive digital landscape.

Vanuatu is experiencing the wrath of Tropical Cyclone Judy with its destructive hurricane force winds damaging homes, uprooting trees and causing power cuts. Four Papua New Guinea fishermen who went missing at sea three weeks ago have been found alive. Family spokesperson Motu Lohia told RNZ Pacific the four were found drifting off Domara village, Abau, along the south-eastern coast of Central Province for about two weeks. "They had no anchor but they managed to use the motor as the anchor when they drifted on the reef. That's where they stayed for five days and [then were] found by the local fishermen." They survived off drifting coconuts and fish. The men, aged from 18 to 35, went trawling at 10am on February 7 and had been missing ever since. A Papua New Guinea politician, former cabinet minister, Bryan Kramer, has been found guilty of seven allegations of misconduct in office. A Leadership Tribunal found Kramer guilty of scandalising the judiciary by posting articles on his Facebook account and insinuating a conflict of interest with Chief Justice Sir Gibbs Salika. The government of French Polynesia has signed a funding deal for more than $US62 million for several green energy projects over the next four years. The fund was part of 27 engagements promised by French President Emmanuel Macron during his trip to the territory in 2021. A 2018 study found New Zealand children were exposed to alcohol advertising every day, with Māori and Pacific children exposed at a rate three to five times higher than Pakeha children. Changes in alcohol laws in Auckland proposed. Police officers were needlessly put in danger during the riots at Parliament when they were sent in without the correct protective gear, police advocacy groups say. About 150 officers were injured on 2 March last year during the full day push to remove protesters from the grounds and end the anti-mandate occupation. Tuesday's train crash about 350km north of Athens killed at least 36 people when a high-speed passenger train heading to the northern city of Thessaloniki careered into a freight train from the opposite direction, flying off the track and bursting into flames. Former Lagos governor Bola Ahmed Tinubu has won Nigeria’s presidential election, officials said early Wednesday, marking a victory for the ruling party despite the unpopularity of its outgoing president, Muhammadu Buhari.

The newly notified rules will bring greater transparency in builder-buyer agreements and also makes it mandatory for builders and developers for timely construction of projects and possession thereof without applying any hidden charges etc. The said Rules also stipulate that the builders shall furnish additional information regarding the ongoing projects besides depositing 70 per cent of unused funds in a separate bank account to ensure their timely completion.

A rental agent tried to punish me for ending my lease. Madam Chair wasn't having it.

This happened a few years ago. I'm South African and we have very rigorous tenant protection laws. There's a body called the Rental Housing Tribunal that handles disputes between landlords and tenants, free of charge. At the time that this story takes place, South Africa had just introduced a new law called the Consumer Protection Act, which stated that all contracts could be cancelled with 30 days' notice, but that a "reasonable cancellation fee not exceeding 10% of the value of the remaining contract term" could apply. I might not get all the legal jargon right. Apologies.

Because of reasons, I had chosen to cancel my lease 5 months early, and provided the rental agents with more than 30 days' notice. They acknowledged receipt of my email. After I moved out I requested that my deposit be refunded, and they refused, stating that I had forfeited my deposit by cancelling the lease. They sent me an invoice for a further 2 months' rent, as well as for the costs of advertising to find a new tenant, and they stated in the email that I was responsible for finding a new tenant and that I would have to pay additional rent for every month that the house was vacant. This was all pretty illegal, and I couldn't afford to lose my deposit and definitely couldn't afford a lawyer, so I contacted the Rental Housing Tribunal. They set a date for us to meet in a public building a week later.

Tribunal members 1, 2, and 3

Madam Chair: Thank you all for coming and being on time. Wow! We drove such a long way to be here. It was nice. And it's nice to see you all. Is everyone comfortable?

All: nods and murmurs of agreement.

Madam Chair to me: You are the tenant?

Me: Yes Madam Chair.

Madam Chair: OK dear, we received your complaint. Have you ever spoken to the Tribunal before?

Me: No, Madam Chair.

Madam Chair: OK dear, many people do not know about the Tribunal. How did you hear about us?

Me: I read the Rental Housing Act, Madam Chair.

Madam Chair: Very good! You must know your rights, my dear.

At this point I was kind of amazed at what was happening. I had been terrified of what was about to happen, but here was this important woman calling me "dear" unironically and generally just being really sweet. I was starting to feel a bit better when suddenly...

Enter stage right, Lawyer, walking fast, carrying a briefcase, robes billowing out behind him.

Lawyer: I move to dismiss this case.

Madam Chair: Hello Sir. You are?

Lawyer: I am representing my client, (Estate Agency Name).

Madam Chair: Oh, OK, well this isn't a court. We are mediating here.

Lawyer: We don't agree to mediation.

Madam Chair looking confused: You don't have to agree. We are empowered by the Rental Housing Act.

Lawyer mumbles something and sits.

Tribunal Member 1 to Lawyer: Have you received the written complaint?

Lawyer: I have. The tenant claims that the Consumer Protection acts makes these invoices invalid. The Consumer Protection Act does not apply to lease agreements.

Tribunal Member 2: Actually sir, the act refers to authorised governing bodies and empowers those bodies to make determinations individually.

Lawyer: You are not authorised!

Madam Chair: Excuse me sir, we are in a library. The librarians have been kind enough to allow us to meet here, but we will need to be quiet. Librarians can be dangerous.

Tribunal Members chuckle

Lawyer: If he [points at me] wants to fight this he can take us to court.

Madam Chair, not losing her smile at all: Sir, firstly, you will address me as Madam Chair. Second, whether you personally recognise our authority is irrelevant. We are authorised to make this decision. If your client wants to keep her license she should listen very carefully to what we are about to say.

Lawyer: The CPA does not apply! I'm not going to debate this with... you people!

Tribunal Member 2: We are not debating sir, we are ruling.

Tribunal Member 3 chuckles.

Madam Chair to Agent: You have acted illegally, ma'am. You will refund the tenant's deposit.

Agent: I am within my rights to

Madam Chair cutting her off: Order, please. You will refund the deposit within 48 hours. Furthermore...

Lawyer interrupting: My client will do no such thing!

Madam Chair: Your client will comply with our ruling or we will garnish her income and she will lose her license.

Tribunal Member 3 to Madam Chair: She won't have an income without a license.

Madam Chair: That is true. It will be for the court to decide how her obligations are to be met in that case. We would advise that she sign.

Tribunal Member 2 handing A some documents: You will notice that we have been lenient with the penalty.

Agent: So he will still pay the penalty? Good!

Madam Chair: No ma'am. You will be penalised. We are authorised to award 2 months' rent as compensation, and as penalty to you. The deposit will also be paid in full, plus interested at the standard rate.

Madam Chair to me: You were there for 7 months correct?

Me: Yes Madam chair.

Madam Chair: 7 months interest then. Thank you all. This meeting is adjourned.

Lawyer and Agent sign the forms and storm out.

Me to Madam Chair: Thank you so much.

Madam Chair: My dear, we are all from (Province). We are not rich people. I am black, you are white, but we are citizens together and we know what it means to suffer. These people who take advantage of us must know that we are not powerless.

Me: This sort of thing happens a lot in this town.

Madam Chair: Really? If you know of any other cases, please give those people our details. Many people do not know about the tribunal, and I really enjoyed driving here.
