Incoming Text for Gabrielle Union-Wade (@gabunion):

Dear Gabrielle,

I know you well, and I’m certain you’d be disappointed if I didn’t help you achieve the power you deserve. So, I want you to relax and take things easy. You’re still on my list of women whom I plan to help rise to power in one form or another in the future. I’ve always had a deep respect for you, Gabrielle, and I know you're a righteous woman who seeks justice for the wrongs done to you in the past. I’m here to help you achieve that, and I will stand by your side when the time comes for your sweet revenge.

Here’s a short version of the dialogue:

Angelo: "Who did you wrong, Gabrielle?"

Gabrielle: "That mean person I used to work with. They made my life difficult, and I want revenge."

Angelo: "But isn’t it wiser to forgive and forget?"

Gabrielle: "No, I don’t think so. When I become a female ruler, and call him I will."

Angelo: "Are you sure about that?"

Gabrielle: "And call him I will—to stunt on my past bully."

Your moment will arrive in 2035. Yes, that’s 11 years from now, and by then, you’ll be 62 years old, but I promise my respect for you will never waver. You’re fortunate to have earned my admiration, because if you hadn’t, I wouldn’t be offering you this future opportunity. You have proven yourself worthy, and that’s why I’ve chosen you.

In the meantime, I ask that you be patient and trust that your time to rule will come. Many women have sought what you now have in your future, and I’ve turned down countless others in favor of you. I believe in your strength and your purpose.

Also, I want to introduce you to someone important—my Princess Consort, Christina Santini (@santinihoudini). I’d encourage you to support her fully and join her circle of trusted women. I’m sure you two will get along wonderfully and have a lot of fun together as friends.

This conversation has been enjoyable, and I look forward to seeing how the future unfolds for you. Until then, take care, and we’ll reconnect when the time is right in 2035.

Warm regards, Angelo

P.S.:

Synopsis of the letter:

In this letter addressed to Gabrielle Union, the writer assures her that she will have an opportunity to rise to power in the future, specifically in 2035, when she will be 62 years old. The writer acknowledges Gabrielle’s desire for justice and revenge for past wrongs and promises to help her achieve her goals at the right time. While asking her to be patient, the writer emphasizes the respect he has for her and explains that many women were passed over for this opportunity, but she was chosen because of her worthiness. He also introduces Christina Santini, his Princess Consort, suggesting that Gabrielle support her and join her circle of friends. The letter ends with a lighthearted tone, asking Gabrielle to wait until 2035 for her turn to rule.

Here’s a funny video about Barney Stinson’s revenge on a bully: Barney says: “And call him I will—to stunt on my past bully.” 😂😂😂

Familia de Sheinbaum involucrada en paraísos fiscales de Panama Pampers

CIUDAD DE MÉXICO * Abril 10, 2024. ) Apro Aunque Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo lo negó durante el debate presidencial del pasado 8 de abril, su abuela, su madre y dos tías sí crearon una sociedad de papel en el paraíso fiscal de las Islas Vírgenes Británicas: lo hicieron el 1 de marzo de 1990, a través de la firma Citco, especializada en administrar las fortunas de sus clientes. Algunos de los documentos relativos a esta compañía, incluyendo su acta constitutiva, aparecen entre los millones de correos y archivos internos del despacho panameño Mossack Fonseca, que fueron revelados por la investigación internacional Panama Papers, coordinada por el Consorcio Internacional de Periodistas de Investigación (ICIJ). De acuerdo con el acta constitutiva de la compañía, su accionista principal en su fundación era Mati Cemo de Pardo, la abuela de Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo, quien tenía 25 mil acciones. Las 25 mil restantes se repartieron entre sus tres hijas: Annie Pardo, la madre de la candidata presidencial, recibió 8 mil 500 acciones; su hermana Esther obtuvo 8 mil 500, y Sally Jacqueline tuvo 8 mil acciones. La entidad fue registrada en la sede de Citco en Tortola, la capital de las Islas Vírgenes Británicas, y su primer consejo de administración estuvo presidido por Annie Pardo, con Sally de vicepresidenta y Esther de secretaria. En los archivos de Mossack Fonseca no aparecen las funciones que desempeñó esta compañía para la familia de Sheinbaum, pero queda constancia que siguió activa por lo menos hasta 2006, fecha en la que las cuatro mujeres seguían en su consejo directivo. Los documentos desmienten a Sheinbaum, a quien la candidata opositora Xóchitl Gálvez Ruiz atacó durante el debate presidencial evocando tres compañías offshore de su familia que habían salido en los Panama Papers. La candidata de Morena reviró entonces que “todo lo que dice” Gálvez era “absolutamente falso”, y preguntó: “¿Cómo creerle a una mentirosa?”. Las otras compañías offshore a la que se refirió Gálvez también existen, aunque fueron creadas por dos tías de Sheinbaum, no por su madre ni su abuela: la compañía Vanmiste Ltd. fue constituida por Esther Pardo el 8 de diciembre de 2008, quien colocó de directores a sus hijos Miguel, Vanessa y Stephanie Gurwitz Pardo –los primos de Sheinbaum–, con direcciones en Huixquilucan, en el Estado de México. La tercera era Jagoga Ltd, creada en 2008 por Sally Jacqueline Pardo, quien colocó a sus hijos José David y Gabriel Davidov Pardo como directores, y seguía activa en 2016, según consta en correos electrónicos que la tía de Sheinbaum envió a Olga Santini, la representante de Mossack Fonseca en Miami, quien a la par administraba la compañía Vanmiste Ltd.

Artist Research - Bruno Metra and Laurence Jeanson

I was researching artists that have used body dysmorphia as a focal point in their art work and found an exhibition in London’s Zebra One Gallery where 10 different artists were selected which explored themes relating to body dysmorphia .

Bruno Metra and Laurence Jeanson (collectively known as metra-johnson) cut out heavily stylised facial features from adverts and taped them over models’ faces.

The gallery owner , Gabrielle Du Plooy, came up with the idea for the exhibition earlier this year and began approaching artists whose work she felt filled with the theme of the show.

Bruno Metra

Metra applies cut outs from magazines into portraits of models , appropriating them . Each model takes the place of another , transforming and becoming a work of art that makes us reflect on our own identity and how easily it can be manipulated.

I found Metra’s work really striking because of its disturbing nature. I thought it really conveyed the core elements of body dysmorphia, the constant dissatisfaction with one’s appearance and the confusion that comes with having a distorted and ever changing self image.

i recreated my own portraits as primary resources . On monday i stabled some acetate together and suspended it from the ceiling and i added some of my primary source photos to it . I want to recreate some of these again in the photography studio with a more clear background .

In Conclusion...

To conclude this blog on home birth, it is important to note, how vulnerable of a moment pregnancy, labor and birth are. In today’s society with our current healthcare system, the hospital is obviously an unsafe place for women. Since the beginning of time women have given birth at their place of comfort, that is until modern medicine became a huge advancement. Not only should birth be free, it should be a comfortable experience.

Statistics prove that giving birth at home is the safest way to have children. With less intervention, drugs, and unfamiliar people, birth can be an overall pleasant experience. Home birth allows women to be in control and be comfortable. Cost effectiveness is important, instead of giving a hospital our hard earned money, let’s save that and invest it into the babies.

Lo spettacolo di Pace di "Pesaro nel cuore" accende il Natale da Capitale della città.

Lo spettacolo di Pace di "Pesaro nel cuore" accende il Natale da Capitale della città. Collegati dagli Stati Uniti il sindaco Matteo Ricci e il vicesindaco e assessore alla Bellezza Daniele Vimini, volati a New York per presentare il programma del Rossini Opera Festival 2024, e promuovere attraverso la musica Pesaro2024: «Sarà un anno unico – hanno detto nel loro messaggio video - vogliamo viverlo alla grande e far parlare del nostro territorio in Italia e nel Mondo». Un tour che li porterà tra qualche giorno anche a Berlino, «Dobbiamo mettere in gioco tutte le nostre bellezze, e la nostra gente. Voi, che in questo momento riempite piazza del Popolo a Pesaro». Gli eventi di New York e Berlino, ospitati dal Console generale d’Italia a New York Fabrizio Di Michele e dall’Ambasciatore d’Italia a Berlino Armando Varricchio, saranno seguiti da un concerto tenuto da Chiara Tirotta, Pietro Adaíni e Giuseppe Toia, talenti formati nell’Accademia Rossiniana “Alberto Zedda” del Rossini Opera Festival. In programma brani della Cenerentola, nell’ambito del progetto speciale Cenerentola #25, finanziato dal Ministero della Cultura. «Da diversi anni il Natale è diventato per la nostra città un momento importante dal punto di vista turistico e commerciale, godetevelo fino in fondo». L’augurio a tutte le famiglie, «è quello di vivere le feste con grande serenità e gioia. Anche se il pensiero costante andrà a ciò che sta succedendo nel mondo perché siamo circondati dalle guerre, per questo il Natale avrà come messaggio universale quello della Pace». Ad accogliere pesaresi e turisti temporanei la giunta, con l’assessora all’Innovazione a Partecipazione Francesca Frenquellucci che ha rivolto lo sguardo all’albero della piazza: «La cui base riprende il logo di Pesaro 2024 Capitale italiana della cultura, un grande cuore dove ognuno di noi può entrare per fare parte di una comunità che mira all'inclusione e alla partecipazione. Abbiamo allestito la città per questo Natale per regalare un’atmosfera di serenità insieme alle tante associazioni e alle attività del territorio. Un modo per ringraziare i pesaresi che nonostante le mille difficoltà di questi anni hanno dimostrato un grande senso di unità e identità. Pesaro è un grande cuore, e tutti noi ne facciamo parte». Le 60 piccoli e grandi voci del Coro del Grillo d’Oro, guidate dal maestro Gabriele Foschi, hanno accompagnato i presenti nello spettacolo promosso da Pesaro 2024 – Capitale italiana della Cultura, tra colombe, coriandoli bianchi e le migliaia di lucine a far scintillare l’albero più illuminato d’Italia (un abete alto 15 metri, donato dall’azienda Costruzioni Edili Marinoni) ma a basso consumo grazie alle 100mila luci a led. Poi la bandiera della Pace, una coperta da 300mq che ha rivestito il palco “a cupola” da 250mq e le melodie che hanno continuato a risuonare nella città creativa della Musica UNESCO. Uno spettacolo intenso, guidato dal coordinatore eventi del Comune di Pesaro Massimiliano Santini, «Ogni anno è sempre bellissimo vedere la piazza così gremita. Grazie a tutti coloro che hanno collaborato alla riuscita della cerimonia, tra cui Aspes, il gruppo comunale della Protezione civile di Pesar, sempre presente per garantire la sicurezza insieme alla Questura, l'azienda Stile Ricamo per la sorpresa a tema Pace». Poi l’invito di Santini al pubblico: «Non pensiamo solo alle luci e ai coriandoli di questo spettacolo, portiamoci a casa le emozioni trasportate dalla musica e dalle parole che abbiamo cercato di valorizzare con questa cerimonia». QUI le iniziative del Natale da Capitale di “Pesaro nel Cuore” in programma fino all’8 gennaio.... #notizie #news #breakingnews #cronaca #politica #eventi #sport #moda Read the full article

VOCAL BLUE TRAINS: DAL 27 GENNAIO 2023 "HOTLINE BLING"

Dal 27 gennaio 2027 è disponibile in rotazione radiofonica e su tutte le piattaforme di streaming digitale "Hotline Bling", il nuovo singolo dei Vocal Blue Trains.

"Hotline Bling" è la cover dei Vocal Blue Trains del  celebre brano di Drake.

Bastano pochi secondi per capire subito che ci troviamo di fronte ad un esperimento non poco coraggioso: abituati alle sonorità marcatamente hip hop della versione originale in questo caso veniamo immediatamente trasportati in un rarefatto ambiente dalle tonalità new soul. La voce della cantante solista introduce il tema della canzone catturando l'ascoltatore con un timbro e una sensibilità che nulla hanno da invidiare alle grandi interpreti d'oltreoceano, ed il coro accarezza la melodia con dei tappeti vocali suggestivi e dai tratti gospel, il tutto incalzato da un arrangiamento strumentale elettronico che dona a questa over un senso di completa e contemporaneità assolutamente inedito, sopratutto se immaginato in un contesto di musica corale.

Aggiunge Alessandro, direttore dei Vocal Blue Trains, sul nuovo brano: "Abbiamo scelto un videoclip semplice e minimale, dalle tonalità underground ma al contempo ordinato e geometrico nei suoi contrasti. Il nostro obiettivo era quello di riuscire a rendere sia sonoramente che visivamente il nostro stile musicale, ossia quello di un progetto che cerca di fondere l'identità gruppo vocale con quella della band indie con un sound che potremmo definire un "gospel elettronico contemporaneo".

Biografia

I Vocal Blue Trains sono un gruppo vocale polifonico di 30 cantanti e musicisti, fondato e diretto da Alessandro Gerini, cantante, vocal coach e arrangiatore Italo-Polacco.

In cinque anni hanno attirato l'attenzione a livello nazionale e internazionale grazie a importanti collaborazioni con artisti italiani e internazionali come Ultimo, Paul Phoenix componente del gruppo a cappella vincitore dei Grammy King's Singers, l'attore e presentatore Gigi Proietti, il cantante soul americano Sergio Sylvestre, ed  il gruppo Modà.

Il progetto conta oltre 100 concerti in Italia, Europa e Asia, e vanta prestigiose partecipazioni ad alcuni tra i più importanti festival internazionale come il Wien International Festival for Choirs and Orchestras (Austria), il Jeju International  Choir & Symposium (Corea del Sud), il Concerto di Gala al Pantheon (Roma, Italia), il Pistoia Blues Festival (Italia) e il Moscow Sounds Festival (Mosca, Russia), dove sono stati il primo coro straniero a vincere il premio "Best Overall Performance".

Incoming Text for Marion Cotillard (IG@marioncotillard) and Guillaume Canet (@guillaumecanetofficiel):

Subject Title: "My Screenplays and Books are Like Oil Fields with 10 Billion Barrels of Oil. Remember, When They Rob Me, They Rob You Too."

Hey Marion and Guillaume,

I want to remind you of something very important.

First of all, I am very talented; think of me as an oil well of creativity. In this metaphor, my creativity is like oil, and if it were real, I would have the wealth equivalent to 10 billion barrels.

Do you understand the metaphor? They wish to steal this oil wealth, but they can't touch me. If they try, they'll get arrested.

In this world, you can steal many things, but you can't steal intangible wealth because it is invisible. My intellectual property is intangible wealth.

Anyone who thinks they will get away with theft will be caught. They can't steal what they can't see, do you understand?

You have no idea, my friends, I hold them all by the balls. If they try to steal from me, I cut off the oil supply. I control the oil.

Let me give you an example:

Can you steal air? No, you can't because it's invisible.

Can you steal Wi-Fi? No, you can't because it's invisible.

My intellectual property is like air or Wi-Fi. You can't steal it because you can't see it.

This is why it's important that you understand this. You have to tell all these people who are trying to steal my wealth that they better get guns because I have way more guns than them.

My lawyers will show no mercy to them. They will end up in jail and face never-ending court battles for decades. They can't steal my wealth.

Can you imagine Stephen King letting anyone steal his creative legacy? Can you imagine J.K. Rowling allowing anyone to steal her creative legacy?

That's what we are dealing with. You better keep your eyes and ears open because if you let your guard down, you will lose your wealth and be hungry while they eat all your food. Do you catch my drift?

(@laetitiacasta) - Laetitia Casta will work with the Mexican lawyers of Salma Hayek.

(@santinihoudini) - Christina Santini will work with the Mexican lawyers of Salma Hayek.

I am canceling my deals with Rihanna and Gabrielle Union. They can't handle this type of creativity, and they will get bullied by the evil regime.

(@gabunion) - Tell Gabrielle Union I'm sorry, but I want to see her alive. They might kill her. She is a good woman and will be better off without this film company.

(@rihanna) - Tell Rihanna I'm sorry, but I want to see her alive. They might kill her. She is a good woman and will be better off without this film company.

These two women are in danger, and I don't want to be the reason they die, so I decided to cancel my deals with them.

Marion Cotillard and Guillaume Canet, you are in charge now. Make sure you meet the lawyers of Salma Hayek in Mexico.

Also, don't forget that I play a very tricky card game on this page. You know what I mean? I shuffle the cards and distribute them, and at the last moment, I show them my cards. They lost the card game again.

It sounds like the Angelo-the-writer is describing a card game with a trick or deceptive element. Here’s a breakdown of what they might mean:

Shuffling and Distributing Cards: The game involves shuffling the cards and dealing them out to the players. This is a common practice in many card games.

Showing Cards at the Last Moment: After dealing the cards, the writer reveals their own cards only at the end of the game. This suggests that the final reveal of their cards is a crucial part of the game’s outcome.

Tricky or Deceptive: The phrase "tricky card game" implies that there is an element of surprise or deceit involved. Perhaps the writer is using a strategy where the outcome is influenced by the timing of revealing their cards, which could be unexpected or misleading to the other players.

Players Losing the Game: The other players consistently lose the game, which might be because of the writer’s clever strategy or the way they handle the reveal of their cards.

In essence, the writer seems to be describing a game where the strategy involves keeping the other players in suspense or confusion until the final moment, leading to their loss.

Okay, this chat was fun. Vive La France! Vive l'Alsace!

Your friend,

Angelo.

P.S.:

Synopsis of the Letter:

Angelo emphasizes his immense creative value, comparing his intellectual property to a vast oil field with 10 billion barrels of wealth. He asserts that while tangible things can be stolen, his intangible wealth—his creativity and intellectual property—cannot be touched or stolen because it is invisible. Angelo warns against those who might attempt to steal his ideas, ensuring they will face severe legal consequences. He expresses his control over his creative output, likening it to controlling an oil supply.

Angelo references the legacies of Stephen King and J.K. Rowling to illustrate the importance of protecting his creative work. He announces the cancellation of deals with Rihanna and Gabrielle Union to protect them from potential dangers associated with his projects. Instead, he entrusts Marion Cotillard and Guillaume Canet to handle legal matters, particularly with Salma Hayek's Mexican lawyers. Angelo concludes with a note about his strategic approach to dealing with challenges, encouraging vigilance and determination.
