When Young Elvis Presley Met the Legendary B.B. King in Memphis, Tennessee in 1957 ~ Vintage Everyday

 

…Fast forward to 1972, when B.B. King found himself in need of a career boost. Elvis, then a major draw at the Hilton Hotel in Las Vegas, stepped in to help his friend. “Elvis helped me get a good gig at the Hilton Hotel while he was playing in the big theater. He put in a call for me and I worked in the lounge to a standing room only crowd,” King remembered fondly. This favor spoke volumes about Elvis’s character. While his fame could have made him insular, he chose instead to lift others, especially those he admired.

After his firing, Gallant tells hostage families Netanyahu needlessly keeping IDF in Gaza | The Times of Israel

Former defense minister Yoav Gallant reportedly told families of hostages held in Gaza that Israel’s military has no reason to remain in the Strip, and that Prime Minster Benjamin Netanyahu is keeping soldiers in Gaza “out of a desire to stay there.”

The conversation came hours before his firing went into effect Thursday evening and the Knesset voted to approve the appointment of Israel Katz as the new defense chief.

According to a report on Channel 12, Gallant, who was abruptly fired from his post by Netanyahu on Tuesday night, told the families that the prime minister is the only one who can decide whether or not to agree on a hostage deal, and that he “tried and failed” to influence the premier on the matter.

Hot pepper seeds, hot pepper plants: FAO provides regional training to improve quality – Petchary’s Blog

On October 16, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) celebrated World Food Day. Around 733 million people face hunger every day; over 2.8 billion are malnourished and cannot afford a healthy diet. Food is a human right, isn’t it – one of the most basic and elementary needs for our survival, after air and water. According to the FAO, the world’s farmers can, and do produce enough to feed the world; but the world is an unsettled place, fraught with crises such as conflicts, climate change, inequality and economic troubles. We must produce the right foods for those who need it most.
