Olivia Newton-John puts tour on hold after breast cancer diagnosis | Music | The Guardian

The singer recovered from breast cancer 25 years ago and has devoted herself to helping others with the disease ever since.Last week, she cancelled planned meet-and-greet events for the upcoming concerts because of “severe back pain”.A statement posted on Facebook said: “Olivia Newton-John is reluctantly postponing her June US and Canadian concert tour dates.“The back pain that initially caused her to postpone the first half of her concert tour has turned out to be breast cancer that has metastasised to the sacrum.“In addition to natural wellness therapies, Olivia will complete a short course of photon radiation therapy and is confident she will be back later in the year, better than ever, to celebrate her shows.”Newton-John said: “I decided on my direction of therapies after consultation with my doctors and natural therapists and the medical team at my Olivia Newton-John Cancer Wellness and Research Centre in Melbourne.”

Senator calls for investigation into Chinese company that’s helping Kushner family attract investors: Shanghaiist

Republican senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa has demanded that an investigation be carried out into the Chinese company Qiaowai, which has been working on behalf of Kushner Companies to entice wealthy Chinese to invest in the well-connected real estate company’s latest project with promises of US visas.In January, Jared Kushner, Ivanka Trump’s husband, sold his shares of Kushner Co. to take on a new — and controversial — position as senior White House advisor to his father-in-law, though that has done little to prevent the family company from getting wrapped up in charges of government corruption and profiteering.

Broken and Brave, Still We Ride the Waves. | Rebelle Society

I feel you, Pain. You are hard. You are brutal. You make my knees buckle and my lungs heave. You slice me open and make me bleed. You are heavy. And cold. And dark. You offer not even a sliver of light. But, know this, Pain: I will survive you because I am filled up with light. The light of love given and received. Love is the golden thread that holds me together and warms me from the inside. It makes me solid. It makes me durable.It makes me believe in God and Goodness and Hope and Healing. You will not destroy me, Pain. You will devastate me. You will leave me ravaged and starving, but you will not destroy me. I will ache and break and simmer and rage and seethe and weep and grieve and then, in time,I will let you go.Because even you, Pain, are not meant to be forever.It all comes and it all goes. All of it.Life exists in waves. It undulates.

Ramadan in Virtue: Fast and Furious

So sorry you had to fall out with your father or anyone else to stand for your beliefs. My hope is that upon “reflection,” he and others will love you for just being you and not who they might wish you be for them.

نادية حرحش


As every year, Ramadan comes with all the festivities that surrounds us in and out. It comes with all them memories of childhood and family unions. Lights, and long nights and above all, you see Jerusalem dressing in a festive mode.
As every year as well, and maybe as with every such occasion, it is important to take a pause and think, Contemplate, and reflect.
Ramadan is supposed to be the month of contemplation.
However, as every year, and as the situation in every similar occasion, we lose track of the meaning behind things and follow rigid rituals that end up in showing the worse in us.
I am someone who stopped fasting since years, partly in my way of protesting rules, and partly because I just cannot drink water. However, mostly because my relationship with the creator has taken a different shape, and above all, I learned that we…

Hindu locality: Haridwar girl says attacked with acid because of her faith | Dehradun News – Times of India

A 20-year-old postgraduate student of a city college sustained severe burn injuries after two motorcycle-borne men threw acid at her at Lal Pul near Jawalapur in Haridwar on Monday morning. The girl, who belongs to the Muslim community, alleged that she was attacked because the men wanted her family to leave the locality they were staying in — a predominantly Hindu area of about 200 houses in which the girl’s family are the only Muslims.The girl, who is currently admitted in a government hospital, told TOI that one of her attackers, who has been identified as Sudhir Singh Tomar, a 45-year-old retired Army jawan, had also entered her house on May 25 at about 11pm when her parents were not at home. She alleged that he had threatened her with a pistol and sexually assaulted her, saying that her family should leave the colony as they were Muslims. She repeated the allegations in front of the local cops and the next day she, along with her mother, filed a police complaint.

Texas Republican Called ICE on SB 4 Protesters, Threatened to Shoot Colleague

Rinaldi later said on Facebook that he called immigration agents “on several illegal immigrants who held signs in the gallery which said ‘I am illegal and here to stay.’” Rinaldi accused Nevárez of repeatedly threatening him on the House floor during the scuffle.“I made it clear that if he attempted to, in his words, ‘get me,’ I would shoot him in self defense,” Rinaldi said. “I would shoot him in self defense. I am currently under DPS protection.”Nevárez responded on Twitter: “He’s a liar and hateful man. Got no use for him. God bless him.”

Did Trump Give The Middle Finger To The Italian Prime Minister?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zx7uwEEwHCY

 

While the idea of the President of the United States giving the middle finger to a NATO ally would be wholly inappropriate, it would not be uncharacteristic for Trump, whose first overseas visit was riddled with gaffes.

Joe Semaan: The Fraud Faking Being Lebanese Police To Abuse Foreign Maids

A Separate State of Mind | A Blog by Elie Fares

Meet Joe Semaan, another entity for us to add to the growing list of filth associated with Lebanon and whose mere existence is a waste of space, and an abomination to every single inch of advancement we’re trying to make in the many transgressions against human rights in this country.

I was told about Joe yesterday by a couple of activists who are trying to advance migrant worker rights in Lebanon, and highlighting the many transgressions against them as well as the immense repercussions that the abuse our law permits has on their well-being. It’s only yesterday that an Ethiopian maid committed suicide by jumping off the balcony of the 7th floor apartment where she was working. In fact, the rates of suicide and deaths of migrant workers in the country are worse than that and will be talking about them in a future post.

Returning to Joe, it seems that…
