Sports / Again, Controversy As Mohamed Salah Celebrates Christmas With His Family by ogbiwa: 10:56am On Dec 27, 2022 |
Mohamed Salah has yet again found himself being criticised by Muslim fans on social media after posting a picture of him and his family next to a Christmas tree. The Liverpool star, who is Muslim, posted on Twitter and Instagram with a caption that read: "#MerryChristmas". In an adorable snap with his wife and two daughters, Makka and Kayan, the young family all posed in matching pyjamas. However, the 30-year-old has come under fire from some fans who took aim at his participation of the festivities that surround Christmas. Muslims do not traditionally celebrate the Christian holiday. To his tweet, one fan replied: "You should acknowledge that many kids look up to you as a Muslim figure, this is not setting a good example brother." Another wrote: "I shall be unfollowing you and stop supporting Liverpool because you are celebrating Christmas with the Christians." And a third said: "Mo Salah, I loved you as a madrid fan. I viewed you as an excellent player and you always inspired me. However, after this tweet, I can no longer view you as my role model." However, some praised the Egyptian with one writing back: "To us you are Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Kylian Mbappe combined. Enjoy." Another said: "The most anticipated Christmas post annually. Merry Christmas Mo." https://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/mohamed-salah-christmas-post-liverpool-28815476 Lalasticlala Mynd44 Nlfpmod Lalasticlala Mynd44 Nlfpmod Lalasticlala Mynd44 Nlfpmod Lalasticlala Mynd44 Nlfpmod Lalasticlala Mynd44 Nlfpmod

Foreign Affairs / Judge Suspended After She Appears Half Naked During Zoom Court Hearing by ogbiwa: 9:23am On Dec 27, 2022 |
A Colombian judge has been suspended for three months after she conducted a court hearing half-naked from bed while smoking a cigarette. Judge Vivian Polania violated several administrative regulations, the Judicial Disciplinary Commission in Norte de Santander ruled this week following the incident, news outlet Infobae reported. The scantily-clad judge, 34, appeared on a Zoom call in what seemed to be her underwear while overseeing a hearing about a car bombing aimed at an army brigade, and the raunchy clip quickly went viral, prompting the investigation into her behaviour. The disciplinary panel's lengthy 16-page ruling read: "Such a situation is not consistent with the care, respect and circumspection with which a judge of the republic must administer justice, denoting a clear lack of respect from the official." The ruling revealed that Polania kept her camera off for nearly an hour during the hearing. When she turned it on, however, showed her lying in bed in what was described as a "deplorable" state and appearning "dishevelled with sleepy eyes" while smoking a cigarette. The document also claimed she slurred her speech. A lawyer at the hearing then informed Polania that her camera was on, prompting her to hastily turn it off again. Polania has now been placed on unpaid leave from now until February after the disciplinary panel deemed her unfit to perform her duties, claiming she didn't respect the parties at the hearing and did not comply with the judicial dress code. Polania, who was known for her racey snaps long before the scandal, spoke out about the now-notorious hearing to deny that she was half-naked. She added she had had to lie down during the hearing because she had had an anxiety attack and suffered low blood pressure. Speaking to Blu Radio, Polania claimed she was overworked which had caused a decline in her mental health. She also accused the other judges in Cúcuta of bullying her after they threatened her with disciplinary action based on the way she dressed. However, this is not the first time Polania has faced repercussions for her raunchy outfit choices. She had been called the "versatile judge" in the past after she posted sexy snaps to Instagram and claimed her good looks earned her promotional offers and discounts from designer clothing companies, prompting a previous investigation into her behaviour. Polania said of her online success: “A person does not take pictures for the sake of taking them or to have people hit the ‘like’ button. "When you have a large number of followers, companies and designers start looking for you to give you discounts or promotions.” However, news of the racy content saw the Judgeship Superior Council Section Disciplinary Board investigate Polania's behaviour. An act of the hearing stated: “According to the content of the news, the room considers that at first instance the judicial worker could face prohibitions as pointed out in the article 154-6.” https://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/world-news/raunchy-judges-far-fetched-excuse-28580998?

Crime / Naked Rapist Dies After Smashing Victim's Door Open With Head by ogbiwa: 8:42am On Dec 27, 2022 |
A woman has been left traumatised and in shock after a naked burglar intent on raping her smashed through a glass pane and died. The attack took place just before Christmas, on Thursday, December 22, at the woman's luxury condominium in Salvador, Brazil. What appears to be footage recorded on a phone captured the attacker as he smashed his way through a metal barrier outside the woman's apartment with his head. It is believed he was possibly high on drugs when he became determined to break in. Once at the woman's home, the man, identified as a civil servant named Jacques Freitas, head-butted a glass pane, busting his way into the building, where the British woman had been living for a year. Freitas then walked past a Christmas tree and approached the horrified woman in order to force her to have sex with him. In a second piece of footage, Freitas can be seen bleeding heavily after smashing through the glass pane, and leaving a trail of blood along the floor of the property. The woman was standing by a Christmas tree as Freitas approached her, and she tried to run away. Despite his serious injury and extensive loss of blood, Freitas removed his shorts in an effort to rape her, but she fought him off, screaming for help. The terrified woman then managed to run out of her apartment and towards the condo's outdoor swimming pool with her attacker in pursuit, as seen in the final piece of footage. But as Freitas chased her, he collapsed at the edge of the pool, apparently from loss of blood. Local media reported that he died at the scene with police are now investigating the case. They have since reported that they found cannabis, magic mushrooms, and other pills inside his flat. Coroners will now determine if he was high on drugs when he committed his failed attack. The building manager, Rita Pires, told local media: "It was a night of terror. I've never seen anything like it." She said of Freitas: "Even injured, he still managed to run. His hand was broken, he was limp, shaking, and he managed to run after the girl into the pool area." And she said of the victim: "She's been living here for a year, she's in shock. Her house is full of blood, it looks like she's killed an ox. "She's so in shock, she didn't sleep last night [Thursday], she spent the whole night awake." https://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/world-news/brit-womans-horror-naked-burglar-28819547# 2 Likes 2 Shares

Sports / Ronaldo Says He Does Not Respect Ten Hag, & Man Utd Betrayed Him by ogbiwa: 7:59am On Nov 14, 2022 |
Cristiano Ronaldo says he feels "betrayed" by Manchester United and is being forced out of the club. Ronaldo, 37, promised in August he would give his version of life at Old Trafford after failing to secure a move away from United to a club playing in the Champions League, as he had hoped. The Portugal forward has now spoken out in a wide-ranging interview with Piers Morgan for TalkTV. United have been asked for a response to Ronaldo's claims. The Red Devils, who beat Fulham 2-1 on Sunday, are fifth in the Premier League in Erik ten Hag's first season as manager. When asked if United's hierarchy were trying to force him out, Ronaldo said: "Yes, not only the coach, but another two or three guys around the club. I felt betrayed." Pushed as to whether senior club executives were trying to oust him, he added: "People should listen to the truth. "Yes, I felt betrayed and I felt like some people don't want me here, not only this year but last year too." Ronaldo says he has no 'respect' for Ten Hag Ronaldo has not played because of an unspecified illness since he captained United in their 3-1 defeat at Aston Villa on 6 November. He was dropped for the Premier League game at Chelsea last month by Ten Hag after refusing to come on as a substitute against Tottenham three days earlier. "I don't have respect for him because he doesn't show respect for me," Ronaldo said. "If you don't have respect for me, I'm never gonna have respect for you." The interview will be shown over two nights on Wednesday and Thursday. Ronaldo also spoke to Morgan about the loss of his baby son in April and how touched he was by a tribute paid to him by Liverpool fans at a game against United at Anfield in the days afterwards. The whole interview is 90 minutes long but Morgan has written a version for the Sun newspaper in which it is clear the contempt Ronaldo has for how he has found United since he returned to the club amid huge fanfare in August 2021. "I think the fans should know the truth," he said. "I want the best for the club. This is why I come to Manchester United." Ronaldo said he had seen "no evolution" at Manchester United since former manager Sir Alex Ferguson retired in 2013. "Nothing had changed," he said. "I love Manchester United. I love the fans, they're always on my side. But if they want to do it different… they have to change many, many things." Ronaldo said his view of the club was shared by Ferguson, who was pivotal in his return to Old Trafford from Juventus when it appeared he might join Manchester City. "He knows better than anybody that the club is not on the path they deserve to be," added Ronaldo. "He knows. Everyone knows. The people who don't see that… it's because they don't want to see; they are blind." Ronaldo says he has not 'heard' of Rangnick Ronaldo's former team-mate Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was United manager when the Portuguese returned to the club before he was succeeded by Ralf Rangnick and then Ten Hag. Rangnick left his role as head of sports and development at Lokomotiv Moscow to take up the job. He had previously built his reputation during his time in Germany, with Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp and former Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel speaking highly about their compatriot. On Rangnick, Ronaldo said: "If you're not even a coach, how are you going to be the boss of Manchester United? I'd never even heard of him." Ronaldo also responded to criticism from former United team-mate Wayne Rooney about his behaviour this season. "I don't know why he criticises me so badly... probably because he finished his career and I'm still playing at a high level," said Ronaldo. "I'm not going to say that I'm looking better than him. Which is true…" https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/63619074 Lalasticlala Mynd44 Lalasticlala Mynd44 Lalasticlala Mynd44 Lalasticlala Mynd44 Lalasticlala Mynd44

Fashion / See A Simple Method For Removing A Ring Stuck On Your Finger by ogbiwa: 5:48pm On Nov 12, 2022 |
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HBRDMJdNOPc Ever been through the dilemma of trying to remove a ring that had become stuck on your finger? Here's a simple but effective method to do it stress free! All you need is a thread and small cellotape. Cut a short thread and pass one end of the thread under the ring, then wrap the remaining parts of the thread tightly around your finger towards the finger nail and use the cellotape to hold the end of the thread. Then grab the other end of the thread and start moving it in an unwinding motion towards your fingernail, and watch in amazement as the ring is easily moving with the thread until it is loose enough to remove! This video below explains it plainly. You must watch the video to understand it well. Cheers! 62 Likes 16 Shares

Sports / Cristiano Ronaldo Named Most Powerful And Influential Footballer On Instagram by ogbiwa: 11:49am On Sep 20, 2022 |
Cristiano Ronaldo leads Lionel Messi, Neymar and Kylian Mbappe as the most influential footballer on Instagram due to play at the 2022 World Cup. Portugal forward Ronaldo had a 48% increase in followers in the past year. He averages more than $3.5m in media value per post, according to analysts Nielsen Gracenote. Manchester United team-mate Jadon Sancho is the most influential English player, while Gavi is the breakthrough star with a 5,165% growth in followers. Rankings are based on Nielsen's influencer measurement tool, which evaluates total followers, follower growth, engagement rate and average brand value per post on Instagram to give a media value total. It ranked the players who are expected to feature at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. Ronaldo has 480 million followers on Instagram, while Argentina's Messi is followed by 360 million people - a 38% growth in the past 12 months - and produces $2.6m of media value per post. The Paris St-Germain attacking trio of Messi, Neymar and Mbappe rank second, third and fourth respectively behind Ronaldo, each averaging more than $1m per post. Of the top 10, Brazil's Vinicius Junior had the biggest growth in following of any player with a 90% increase, having scored the winner in the Champions League final for Real Madrid against Liverpool. France's N'Golo Kante ranks eighth in the list and has the highest engagement rate of any player in the top 10 with his posts, at 11%. The next big social media star looks to be Spain's Gavi, whose following has shot up by more than 5000% to 6.2 million. His posts have an engagement rate of nearly 30%. Brazil's Raphinha and Antony are second and third in the breakthrough footballer standings with huge growth in their follower numbers after summer moves to Barcelona and Manchester United respectively. Meanwhile, France are likely to be the most influential team on social media at the 2022 World Cup, with 11.7 million followers on their official page. This edges out Brazil and Portugal, who have 11.3 million and 10.3 million respectively. Notably, 86% of Portugal's followers live outside the European country. England are fourth with 8.5m followers. Of their players, winger Sancho is the most influential - he has 8.9 million followers, an increase in 21% over the past year, while he has a healthy 8% engagement rate on posts. Several young English players have had notable breakthroughs on social media, including Jack Grealish who now has more than five million followers, and Aaron Ramsdale, whose following has exploded by a remarkable 920% over the past 12 months after joining Arsenal.

Art, Graphics & Video / Adobe Set To Acquire It's Rival, Figma, For $20 Billion by ogbiwa: 7:41pm On Sep 15, 2022 |
Big news in the world of digital creative technology: Adobe today announced that it would acquire Figma for $20 billion, taking out one of its biggest rivals in the realm of digital design. Both the WSJ and Bloomberg reported earlier this morning that Adobe was close to announcing the deal to acquire Figma. In the end, Adobe confirmed the news to coincide with its quarterly earnings. The acquisition is coming in the form of a deal that is half cash and half stock, Adobe said, and it will also include 6 million additional restricted stock units granted to Figma’s CEO and employees that will vest over four years subsequent to closing. It is expected to close in 2023, “subject to the receipt of required regulatory clearances and approvals and the satisfaction of other closing conditions, including the approval of Figma’s stockholders.” Design and prototyping, for individuals and teams, executed in a very streamlined and modern, cloud-based environment, are Figma’s product strengths, and it’s amassed some 4 million users to date. Adobe meanwhile has been building and acquiring a number of businesses in the wider world of digital creation, and that has taken it not just into the larger and more general reaches of design but also marketing and other areas adjacent to design in the longer creation chain. Adobe’s DNA is in design, though, and it has built out iconic products in areas like imaging (such as Photoshop), fonts, illustration, video and 3D and more. The idea now will be to create a seamless connection between these and Figma, essentially building it out as the native platform to bring them all together. Adobe, of course, already had something like this, in the form of AdobeXD. It’s not clear what happens with that when this deal closes. Indeed, whether all this will raise the attention of antitrust authorities will be worth watching: Adobe is already dominant in so many of the tools that are used, and now it will be the dominant player as well in the platform to bring in and provision all of these tools. “Adobe’s greatness has been rooted in our ability to create new categories and deliver cutting-edge technologies through organic innovation and inorganic acquisitions,” said Shantanu Narayen, chairman and CEO, Adobe, in a statement. “The combination of Adobe and Figma is transformational and will accelerate our vision for collaborative creativity.” “With Adobe’s amazing innovation and expertise, especially in 3D, video, vector, imaging and fonts, we can further reimagine end-to-end product design in the browser, while building new tools and spaces to empower customers to design products faster and more easily,” added Dylan Field, co-founder and CEO, Figma. Field will stay on and continue to lead the Figma business, said Adobe. A $20 billion price tag is a sizable jump for Figma, which was last valued at $10 billion in June 2021, when it raised $200 million. But Adobe is doing more than just taking out a big competitor. It’s picking up a fast-scaling business. It notes that Figma’s total addressable market is $16.5 billion by 2025, and that “the company is expected to add approximately $200 million in net new ARR this year, surpassing $400 million in total ARR exiting 2022, with best-in-class net dollar retention of greater than 150 percent. With gross margins of approximately 90 percent and positive operating cash flows, Figma has built an efficient, high-growth business,” it said. The deal definitely lays down the gauntlet for other big names in the world of digital design. Specifically it will be interesting to see what comes next for companies like Canva and Sketch. https://www.google.com/amp/s/techcrunch.com/2022/09/15/adobe-is-buying-figma-for-20b-taking-out-one-of-its-biggest-rivals-in-digital-design/amp/ Lalasticlala Mynd44 Lalasticlala Mynd44 Lalasticlala Mynd44 Lalasticlala Mynd44

Foreign Affairs / Man Who Accurately Predicted The Queen's Death Issues Warning About Charles III by ogbiwa: 8:49am On Sep 13, 2022 |
A man has gone viral on Twitter after he correctly predicted the date of the Queen's death, as he also gave a warning about King Charles III. Logan Smith, who posts on social media as @logan_smith526, initially tweeted back that the Queen would die on September 8, 2022, back in July which tragically became a reality on Thursday. Now, the tweet is going viral as people are concerned that the man's prediction for King Charles III's death will come true too as he claims the new monarch will die on March 28, 2026. Smith has since made his Twitter account private after the post started to gain popularity. Screenshots of the post have been shared all over social media platforms including a TikTok by @zukosburnteye which shows her looking shocked about the post. The user, who is named Hailey, wrote in the caption: "RIP to logan I know the British are coming for him."
