1893
Virginia grew into an Independent, Angelic toddler.
Mrs. Samuels wasn't happy that Mrs. Fitzgerald spent time with her only granddaughter before she did. So on Love Day, they left Virginia with her grandparents and spent some time alone together.
In July, Virginia played outside, until she was called in to meet her new brother, Andrew. She's not too happy, but she'll get over it.
Late night chatting while the little ones sleep.
Laurence knows he's a lucky man to wake up to this.
Two small children and a man who works with the earth make for so much laundry.
Andrew turned out to be a Dreamy infant. Another redhead with freckles, but with big blue eyes (darker than his dad's though).
This is the first year that Labour Day was officially celebrated nationally in Canada, so that gets added to the calendar (for next year, it's currently spring).
Virginia's cc and milestones for the next year until she graduates into proper dresses instead of baby gowns below the cut, and Andrew's cc until/unless he learns to scoot/crawl.
It took three real weeks to get through one sims week, including the one week that was mostly lost to a patch.

(At this point, infants get a gown, a sleeping gown, and a cold weather gown that's fuller to look like there are more layers; a bonnet, and a headwrap for sleep; socks. There's not a lot for them to wear.
I really try not to edit the genetics except for hairstyle, especially for anyone younger than teen, because things can get weird later if you do. I also try to keep the same hair texture when I change hairsyle, unless something's tagged wrong. These children are who the game made them at this point.)

"Former Philippine Scout Ranger from Davao Oriental. Specializing in jungle and unconventional warfare, and highly skilled in close quarters combat."
IN-GAME BIOGRAPHY
Jason "Askal" Timog was born and raised in the rural mountains of Davao Oriental, Philippines. At 18 years old he enlisted in the army, motivated by the rampant terrorist attacks on his country. He would later join the Philippine Scout Rangers, where he was nicknamed "askal" meaning "feral dog", from a habit of baring teeth during vigorous trainings.
One of his deployments was a joint operation between MARSOC and the Scout Rangers, tasked to take down a chain of Al-Qatala strongholds in Southern Philippines. Among the MARSOC operators was Phillip Graves.
In 2019, Askal and several other Rangers were involved in a mutiny. Although it was a failure, the rebels took multiple innocent lives before fleeing the area. Askal barely escaped trial with the help of his sister. She took him to Canada to hide, but it was a matter of time before he's recognized.
Commander Graves approached Askal at a perfect time, offering security in exchange for his expertise. In 2021, Graves formed "Whiskey Company", a group of operators specializing in reconnaissance, amphibious and jungle warfare. Askal is among the most capable of the operators.
Early 2023, Whiskey was dispatched to track down Konni strongholds across Europe and gather intel of Makarov’s inner circle. The intel would later aid TF-141 and Shadow Company on their relentless search for Commander Makarov.

In 2021 I was having a bit of a mental breakdown (weren't we all) and became inexplicably obsessed with Strictly Come Dancing (I'm in the UK) - I'd never watched it before, but for some reason I was like 'I need minor celebrities learning to dance and then embarrassing themselves in my life'. There was a TV presenter called AJ Odudu who was paired with a dancer called Kai & they basically looked as together as Nic and Luke did on the press tour. They meet each others family, she starts to call him 'baby'. Like the nation was CONVINCED - and they got to the final on that chemistry as well as some good dancing. The week of the final, AJ injures her ankle and has to pull out. They do an interview where Kai BREAKS DOWN in tears - she's comforting him, everyone is like 'that's a shame, but at least they found each other'. A few days later, Kai is photographed kissing another professional dancer Nadiya in a hotel lobby...everyone is like noppppeee this is fake. It wasn't fake. They now live together. And to this day nobody knows what happened with AJ and Kai.
Obviously Nic and Luke are still interacting & seem to be fast friends, but I wanted to share this cautionary tale of weird celebrity love.
I'm not familiar with the show is it talent/reality based?
Thanks for the info. I guess one could never really know.
I mean, look at Tony and Kerry. They stress me tf out

US releases F-16 upgrade technology for Turkey after Finland joins NATO
Fernando Valduga By Fernando Valduga 04/18/2023 - 08:18 in Military
The U.S. State Department approved the potential sale of technology equipment to Turkey for the upgrade of its current fleet of F-16 aircraft.
Included in the sales approval are the software updates of the Operational Flight Program (OFP) avionics with the capability of the Automatic Ground Collision Prevention System (AGCAS), while the hardware modifications would allow the integration of the Multifunctional Information Distribution System Block Upgrade II (MIDS BU II), which would be purchased separately.
The potential agreement could cost up to $259 million and was approved by the U.S. after Turkey slowed down its position on NATO, leaving aside its objections to Finland's entry into the alliance.
Turkey continues to oppose Sweden's accession to the alliance, effectively vetoing Sweden's accession, as unanimous approval is necessary for a country to participate.
“This sale proposal will support the foreign policy and national security objectives of the United States, helping to improve Turkey’s interoperability with NATO and ensuring flight safety for existing F-16 aircraft in Turkey,” said the U.S. Defense Security Cooperation Agency.
The main contractor will be Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Company of Fort Worth, TX.
A larger deal, the request from NATO member Turkey to buy $20 billion in new Lockheed Martin F-16 fighters and nearly 80 modernization kits that was requested in October 2021 remains in limbo amid continued opposition in the U.S. Congress, as U.S. lawmakers are seeking assurances from Turkey on issues that go beyond NATO's Nordic expansion.
These issues include easing tensions with Greece forever, refraining from an invasion of northern Syria and enforcing sanctions against Russia.
If approved by Congress during the formal approval process, the package will be the first major military sale to Turkey approved by Congress in years.
“Turkey is a long-standing and valuable NATO allied nation,” a State Department spokesman said in a statement. “The Biden administration supports Turkey’s efforts to raise the avionics of its F-16 fleet to the standard.”
Turkey is looking to upgrade its F-16 fleet while continuing to work on its locally developed next-generation fighter program. The country was forced to launch the TF-X fighter program after the U.S. expelled it from the F-35 program because of the purchase of Russian S-400 anti-missile defense systems.

Syd has missed a lot of time due to pregnancy (which I don’t think is going to happen again anytime soon) but hasn’t been injured that much. She played 23/24 games in 2021 and was one of the top scorers in the league. And she’s only 32 and hasn’t been beating herself up playing on the national team the last few years. I don’t know where tf people are getting this narrative that she’s particularly injury prone.

AGAIN??
👀 ummmmmmmmmm
So a few years ago me and my friends went to one of the museums in the city and for context this is a really fancy museum with a lot of European art and furniture going back to the 1400s (probably lol).
Just to let y’all know how fancy, this place has Rodin sculptures and a lot of rococo paintings (which is personally one of my favorite art styles) and next to a golf course
So we were taking pictures with some paintings and I wanted a pic with a rococo painting of this lady with her boobies out 👀 so I took my picture and the security guard came over and was like “if you do it again we’re gonna escort you out” and pointed out my mini backpack being too close
and we were like tf??? Because I wasn’t close at all and meanwhile there were a lot of older people (mostly white) who had huge backpacks and 14 kids running around and nobody said a word to them
Now this museum has a sister museum (which is the one I went to tonight) and literally the same thing happened over there too! Think this was mid pandemic so around late 2020/mid 2021. And we were followed from room to room and I had my mini backpack under my coat and I still got stopped while no one else did. I saw them on their walkies too it was really weird
And what’s crazy is both times (and times we’ve been since these incidents) there’s been people who’ve gotten extremely close to the art like full on leaning over the rope to breath on a 400 year old painting and not 1 peep outta security
It felt really racist ngl 😭 maybe i should’ve played national treasure and stole something idk

By • Olalekan Fagbade We have identified Terrorist financiers – FG makes revelations The Federal Government has disclosed that it has seized over N45 billion that was illegally looted from the national treasury. It further disclosed that a number of individuals and entities linked to terrorist activities have been identified and designated, with funds traced to them also confiscated. The Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Mr. Lateef Fagbemi, SAN, made the disclosure in his opening address at the 40th Technical Commission/Plenary Meeting of the Inter-Governmental Action Group Against Money Laundering in West Africa, GIABA, held at the State House, Abuja. GIABA is a specialised institution of the Economic Community of West African States, ECOWAS, responsible for facilitating the adoption and implementation of Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Counter Financing of Terrorism (CFT) strategies in West Africa. In his presentation, the AGF, who spoke on behalf of Nigeria, said the President Bola Tinubu-led government was determined to build on successes that were recorded by past administrations in the country, especially in areas of investigation and prosecution of corruption cases. He said: “In 2022, we increased the budgets for the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Independent Corrupt Practices Commission and National Drug Law Enforcement Agency by almost 95%. “We now have over 1,500 officers dedicated to investigating and prosecuting money laundering across these three agencies alone. “These sustained investment has seen increased numbers of investigations, prosecutions and convictions consistently since 2021 with 5,118 investigations, 1,509 prosecutions and almost 500 convictions secured resulting in over 45 billion naira of illicit proceeds seized. “We have also made progress in tackling the financing of terrorism and in particular, I am pleased that we have identified and designated a number of individuals and entities linked to terrorist activity and seized funds linked to them. “The Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit (NFIU), has become a global model and achieved the outcomes envisaged by the passage of its enabling legislation in 2018 which established it as an independent, autonomous unit. “The Unit has significantly expanded the scope of financial intelligence it has access to and provides to other competent authorities. “The Unit has also put in place a number of innovative technologies including the Crime Records Information Management System (CRIMS) which has transformed our approach to intelligence sharing. “The measures I have outlined and our future ambitions are underpinned by a rigorous analysis of the money laundering, terrorist financing and proliferation financing risks we face as a country,” the AGF stated. Stressing that there are myriad of challenges facing the West African sub-region, ranging from the threats of illicit financial flow to the existential dangers posed by terrorist groups, the AGF, said there was greater need for enhanced international collaborations. “As global risks become more complex, and technology more embedded as well as borders increasingly fragile, we must move towards a more tailored approach to responding to this new ML/TF/PF environment. “I believe that without a truly equitable and effective system for international cooperation, we are fighting the enemy with one hand tied behind our backs. “I therefore urge GIABA to effectively pursue this mandate on behalf of our member states,” he added. Meanwhile, in his opening remarks, the Director General of GIABA, Mr. Edwin Harris Jr., said the organisation would continue to offer technical support to Nigeria. However, the GIABA boss said there was need to restrict the physical movement of criminals and terrorist associates within the sub region. “In this regard, it becomes a more pressing need that the Secretariat works with member States in enhancing effectiveness compliance that will lead to more actions that create deterrence.
“Over the coming years going into the third round, the Secretariat will work with member States on Assets Recovery that includes all phases that is freezing, seizure, confiscation, management, and disposal with the ultimate goal of denying the criminal the use of the proceed of crimes. “I urge member States to create a mechanism that takes away profits from criminal activities. This mechanism should now form core part of our fight against Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing and other transnational crimes. “It becomes more imperative that the mandate of GIABA restricted to fighting Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing in keeping the economies of West Africa safe be visited to include other major component in keeping with emerging trends and current day realities. “I sincerely think that incorporating Asset Recovery as one of the valuable tools of deterrence in our mandate will add value to our work and serve as major deterrence to criminals whose primary aims are to contaminate our financial system for personal gains. “It is in this direction GIABA will start a critical conversation with member States and stakeholders in creating a regional sanction regime for the community that will seek to denied, block the movement of the proceed of crimes in the community and also restrict the physical movement of criminals and terrorist associates within the region. “GIABA member States implement other secondary sanctions within our financial system such as the OFAC and the EU, hence, it is now imperative that we have an ECOWAS sanction that helps curtail the movement and assist in recovery of the proceed of crimes. “GIABA will continue to work with both financial, development and technical partners to support its members,” he added. Among dignitaries at the event included the Vice-President of the Financial Action Task Force, FATF, Mr. Jeremy Weil, representative of the President of the ECOWAS Commission, Mr. Mambury Njie, as well as the Director of the Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit, NFIU, Mr. Tukur Modibbo.

Media on Sexualising Women
With social media, we all have the access and freedom to say our own pieces on digital platforms. Given the liberty to do so, users are abusing it to say things to hurt people or rather to bring them down by leaving unsolicited and rude opinions. Especially on one’s appearance, the online community one has much to talk about when it comes to this.
Let’s discuss the recent controversy that sparked on Malaysian influencer Kasih Iris Leona who was slammed on social media for the way she dresses and how people are leaving comments and making what she wears along with the fact that she shows too much skin. With this, the influencer is clearly being sexualised and objectified to a certain extent. Netizens are making nasty and inappropriate comments about Leona’s body and the way she dresses in her recent Instagram post where she is seen in a purple dress where her breasts are exposed which brought the attention of social media users.
This brings attention to how there is a surge in sexualization in the media. Sexualization defines as a term where an individual is perceived as a sexual object for their alluring physics. In the case of sexualization, women seem to be more prone to being sexualised (Blake et.al, 2018). The comments section of Leona’s post is a great exhibition of how women are being sexualised by leaving inappropriate comments on her body telling her to “wear a better bra” and more comments from men leaving sex comments. Recent research confirms that sexualisation does not only occur in the form of an image but in comments that stress physical appearance as well (Guizzo et.al, 2021). Within the comment section, we can acknowledge that men will gape at women who they find attractive disregarding them (Davis, 2018).
With that, there should be more action and initiative taken to combat this issue to protect women on social media from such disrespect to create a safe digital environment for female users.

Hey tfcon annon from before, youtube Team TFNation, saturday stream, 7:44:28 - 8:44:06 - 9:50:47
AYOO thank you very much!! And seriously thank you so much for the time stamps of all three parts
(anon is referencing THIS ask)
oh the reading was so GOOD 😭😭 rip a full season 4 I cry, ohh what we could have had. it went full circle. PLEASE 💀
spoilers under the cut!
I rly like all the references that the writers built into the episode! The eternal flame for sure (poor Op, just let him do his job the publicity and souped up looks,,leave him alone ajdjsk) and especially the little nod to mnemosurgery. morbid. but hey Megs survived and then some AHHH
I will admit. knowing far too much fanon vocabulary being used in canon—granted for ENTIRELY different functions and intentions— still had me chalking. I still need a moment cuz was very alarmed oh my fuck
Sentinel was about a stupid and awful as I expected him to be, yes I’m still in love with him. no I can’t explain myself when I don’t even know why, he looked v sexy in his suit. added beef is always appreciated in both tastes and looks and TASTES. AYOOO okay I’m done stop THROWING things at me I’m just so sad he roped poor Bee into all the publicity shit :’) Oppy was so good to him after all of that, I love how it took a reassuring little invite for Bee to perk up again AW. Genuinely disappointed Sentinel didn’t try to run w Rattletrap’s janky photoshop Megop pic. AHHH. I would have killed to have Op confirmed SPUTTERING over that nonsense my heart is throbbing pls let me imagine a senario where instead he goes ‘WAIT. HOW DID THEY FIND THAT’ Megs would have wined and dined his plucky nemesis STOP BOOING ME
ngl when Megs started tossing his goons into the power cell I wanted to DIE knowing who would come next, unless my brain literally shut off for those lines and chose not to listen to it—I don’t think Blitzwing was executed??? I have hope for my boy??? If I’m wrong pls don’t tell me lemme ride this HIGH. Rip lugnut you stupid himbo king, I worry for Strika though oh no how would she take it yikes
Jazz was such a pure soul my heart goes out to him idk how he’s such a LIGHT in the whole damn squad when he’s put up w so much. Him speaking in Prowl’s memorial service was sweet, but tone it down on the goovies and jives good god son. Jettwins? Flawless. Outstanding. All 3 lines of them. Could not have asked for better boys were they. sharing a milkshake at maccadams?? literally my heart is dying and crying that is the cutest I love those bros sm it physically hurts me
#JusticeForBeachcomber all he wanted to do was smoke weed and deliver his damn energon. No he does not get paid enough to get maimed on the job. The VA had me wheezing, my mans was so nonchalant absolutely literally getting manhandled then MURDERED 10/10 line deliveries alsjdlaskdj
Bulkhead getting a whole lot of time to shine I was so happyyyyy and ooo getting to see him reunite on the farm granted it ended piss poorly was so cool!! My boy is so valid and I’m so proud, he deserves some stickers over his battle scars
Ratchet,,hbhhhbbb snffnf :’) and Acree :’DDDD AHHHHH theyre too damn cute I need me a sweet little fic with that much needed quiet night
Absolutely fucking THRILLED to find out that Sari is likely gonna live forever seeing that she doesn’t need to sustain herself like, at all. Her upset about Burger Bot oml ajsnksw girlie can you still taste?? do you chew and spit now I’m sobbing real tears for her
Optimus has got to be my fav little journey out of the whole entire reading. He is SO tired and doesn’t like the attention or swanky vanity upgrades, please get him a vacation after Mags was like ‘you. you are my successor. why are you crying and sobbing and shaking your head no I know I literally crushed your spirit saying youre not a hero to your face but aha—‘ and then fucking dies. VACATION. STAT. Technically he gets one being stranded on Earth again. Now I need to draw an Op where it finally dawns on him that yes, YOU are the Magnus by rite of passage—and has a sleep-deprived conniption CRYING fit in his big scary clunky suit. the absolute epitome of Looks Like They Could Kill You, Is a Cinnamon Roll
Overall 12/10 the whole cast and guests absolutely crushed it. Literally couldn’t have imagined the s3 aftermath kicking off any better this was a TREAT!!!!
#SO GOOOOOOOOOD#no I do not regret staying up late to listen my heart is SOARING#transformers#asks#tf nation 2021 spoilers#tf nation 2021#transformers animated

Dassault resumes deliveries of Rafales to the French Air Force

On December 29, 2022, the Mérignac factory of Dassault Aviation delivered the Rafale B359 (F3R standard) to the Direction Générale de l'Armement (French Defense Purchasing Organization).
This event marked the resumption of Rafale's deliveries in France after a four-year hiatus.
Rafale B359 is for the French Air and Space Force. The aircraft is part of the "lock 4" request for 60 aircraft granted in 2009. According to several military programming laws, deliveries to France were interrupted for budgetary reasons. Rafale's production line was then dedicated to export orders.
Another 27 Rafales have not yet been delivered within the "tranche 4" order, plus twelve Rafales ordered by France in 2021 to compensate for the twelve aircraft sold to Greece.
