Les houthis (), du nom de leurs dirigeants, Hussein Badreddine al-Houthi et ses frères, sont les membres d'une organisation armée, politique et théologique zaïdite, active initialement dans le gouvernorat de Sa'dah et le nord-ouest du Yémen, puis à partir de 2014, dans tout le pays. Ainsi, le nom houthi est à l'origine le nom d'une tribu dont sont issus les membres de l'organisation.

Le groupe est issu du Forum des jeunes croyants, organisation religieuse et culturelle cofondée en 1992 par Hussein Badreddine al-Houthi et Mohamad Azzane. Pacifique, le mouvement se scinda en deux factions, l'une modérée et pacifiste et l'autre prônant la lutte armée, qui deviendra par la suite les Houthis.

En conflit avec le gouvernement de la République du Yémen, dans le cadre de l'Insurrection houthiste au Yémen, à cause de manifestations vues comme un défi adressé au pouvoir central, ils se sont emparés depuis leurs bastions montagnards du nord-ouest d'une grande partie de l'ouest du pays, notamment de l'ancien Yémen du Nord.

Le nombre de ses membres armés durant l'insurrection houthiste au Yémen est estimé à  et son principal foyer de tension se trouve dans le Saada. Le mouvement serait soutenu par l'Iran dans le cadre de la guerre civile yéménite, mais d'autres sources mentionnent que l'Iran aurait au contraire essayé de les freiner. Certains analystes affirment que le soutien Iranien aux Houthis serait d'ordre limité et fondé principalement sur l'antiaméricanisme et la lutte contre les alliés des américains au Moyen-Orient, mentionnant que considérer les Houthis comme un mouvement politiquement aligné sur les intérêts iraniens serait en ce sens exagérer les liens existants entre les rebelles zaydites et l'Iran.

Les houthistes estiment avoir été marginalisés par le gouvernement sur le plan politique, économique et religieux dans le cadre de la réunification du Yémen en 1990, et demandent le rétablissement du statut d'autonomie dont ils bénéficiaient avant le coup d'État républicain de 1962 dans le cadre du royaume mutawakkilite du Yémen et à terme rétablir l'imamat zaïdite.

Leur branche politique est Ansar Allah (, « les partisans de Dieu »).

Drapeaux et logos

Contexte

Contexte historico-religieux
Le Yémen est peuplé d'une majorité sunnite mais aussi d'une forte minorité chiite essentiellement présente dans les montagnes du nord-ouest du pays, le fief des Houthis. Cette branche du chiisme, très proche du sunnisme, implantée là depuis le , est le zaïdisme, qui ne reconnaît que cinq Imams chiites dans la succession d'Ali, contrairement aux ismaëliens ou duodécimains (les courants majoritaires du chiisme). Un imamat zaïdite a contrôlé ces territoires depuis le Moyen Âge et a fondé le royaume mutawakkilite du Yémen en 1918 lors de l'indépendance acquise de l'Empire ottoman à la suite de la Première Guerre mondiale. En 1990, le parti Hizb al-Haqq, dont seront issus les Houthis, est fondé pour défendre les aspirations culturelles des zaïdites. À la différence de certains partis religieux zaïdites, le Hizb al-Haqq rejette l'imamat et défend le régime républicain.

Contexte historico-politique
La monarchie zaïdite yéménite a été abolie à la suite d'un coup d'état républicain en 1962 (soutenu par l'Égypte de Nasser), conduisant à la mise en place du Yémen du Nord. À la suite de l'unification du Yémen en 1990, les zaïdites sont alors minoritaires dans un Yémen majoritairement sunnite entre le Nord et le Sud. Les zaïdites ont obtenu des garanties du président Ali Abdallah Saleh dans le cadre de la guerre civile yéménite de 1994 (avec la tentative avortée de sécession du Yémen du Sud). S'estimant insatisfaits, ils ont pris les armes en 2004 contre le gouvernement, après la décision du gouvernement d'arrêter Hussein Badreddine al-Houthi.

Revendications
Né dans les provinces à majorité zaïdite du nord du Yémen, le mouvement houthis entend initialement porter les revendications culturelles de populations lentement marginalisées par l'influence du wahabisme saoudien. Le mouvement développe également une rhétorique de dénigrement de  - principalement après l'invasion de l'Irak en 2003 - et du sionisme, ce dernier étant amalgamé à une ramification du premier.

Au cours de la période de crise politique qui succède au renversement du président Ali Abdallah Saleh, les Houthis tentent de contrebalancer l'influence ascendante du parti islamiste Al-Islah, qui détient alors de nombreux portefeuilles gouvernementaux.

Histoire

En 2004 éclate la guerre du Saada menée par le gouvernement yéménite après des manifestations qu'il estime remettant en cause son pouvoir, déjà aux prises avec l'insurrection d'islamistes affiliés à Al-Qaïda dans le cadre de la guerre contre le terrorisme depuis l'incident de l' en 2000.
L'Arabie saoudite intervient aux côtés du gouvernement yéménite et combat les Houthis. Des centaines de civils y perdent la vie ainsi que le chef de file du mouvement Hussein Badreddine al-Houthi, tué le  ; sa dépouille est enterrée en prison, de peur que son mausolée ne devienne un lieu de recueillement.
Son frère Abdul-Malik al-Houthi lui succède alors.

Le gouvernement d'Ali Abdallah Saleh a utilisé du phosphore blanc pendant cette première guerre, arme interdite internationalement.

En 2009, lors de l'opération Terre brûlée, l'armée yéménite, plus tard aidée par l'armée saoudienne, échoue à réprimer la rébellion zaïdite.

En 2013, en geste de bonne volonté, le président du gouvernement de transition Abdrabbo Mansour Hadi restitue aux Houthis la dépouille de leur chef Hussein Baddredine al-Houthi pour favoriser le Dialogue national. La même année, il est rapporté que les Houthis combattraient aux côtés du régime de Bachar el-Assad dans le cadre de la guerre civile syrienne.

Les Houthis s'estiment de plus en plus marginalisés après le meurtre de deux de leurs représentants dans le conseil de transition national et contestent aussi la fin des subventions sur le pétrole et les carburants, cela les incitant à manifester mais ses manifestations sont réprimées violemment.

En 2014, avec l'aide des forces restées fidèles à l'ancien président Ali Abdallah Saleh, les rebelles houthistes prennent le contrôle de la ville d'Amran puis annoncent vouloir la rendre au gouvernement après des accords ; en septembre, ils prennent le contrôle total de la capitale Sanaa, font démissionner le Premier ministre et forcent le pouvoir en place à créer un nouveau gouvernement qui leur est plus favorable. Le discours du dirigeant Abdul-Malik al-Houthi est diffusé dans des écrans géants dans la capitale.
Le , ils s'emparent du palais présidentiel à Sanaa, ce qui conduit à la démission du président Abdrabbo Mansour Hadi.

En septembre 2016, le gouverneur de Marib déclare que des armes destinés aux Houthis seraient envoyées par l'Iran en transitant par Oman et la province du Hadramaout, en direction de Sanaa.

Le , l'ancien président Saleh, qui était allié avec eux depuis 2014, rompt son alliance avec eux et commence à tendre la main à la coalition dirigée par l'Arabie saoudite. Les Houthis le tuent lors de la bataille de Sanaa deux jours plus tard, le 4 décembre. « Le ministère de l'Intérieur (contrôlé par les Houthis) annonce la fin de la milice de la trahison et la mort de son chef (Ali Abdallah Saleh) et d'un certain nombre de ses éléments criminels », a affirmé la chaîne de télévision des houthis, Al-Massirah, en citant un communiqué.

Le , les Houthis annoncent la mort le 19 avril, dans une attaque aérienne, de Saleh Ali al-Sammad.
Mehdi Hussein al-Machat lui succède.

Le 30 août 2020, la coalition dirigée par l'Arabie saoudite a intercepté et détruit un drone chargé d'explosifs à l'aéroport international d'Abha et un bateau chargé d'explosifs télécommandé lancé par des Houthis alignés sur l'Iran. Selon l'agence de presse de l'État saoudien (SPA), des éclats sont tombés sur l'aéroport au sud de la mer Rouge sans aucune blessure car le drone a été intercepté.

Le gouvernement de Donald Trump envisage en 2020 de déclarer officiellement les Houthis organisation terroriste. Les Nations unies soulignent qu'une telle décision pourraient entraver les interactions avec des responsables Houthis, la gestion des impôts, l'utilisation du système bancaire, la rémunération du personnel médical, l'achat de nourriture et de pétrole ou encore l'accès à internet. En février 2021, Joe Biden dans une de ses premières allocutions sur la politique étrangère annonce le déclassement des houthis de la liste des organisations terroristes, décidée le mois précédent par le président sortant Trump.

Idéologie
Pour Julie Kebbi, journaliste à L'Orient-Le Jour, le mouvement houthiste ressemble sur plusieurs points au Hezbollah. D'abord, au vu de la présentation visuelle des allocutions. Bien qu'appuyé par l'Iran, les Houthis ne sont cependant influencés que par la doctrine de Velayat-e faqih, qu'ils n'adoptent que partiellement. Le pouvoir est lié à l'appartenance des Houthis au clan des Hachémites.

Puissance
Le mouvement était composé de  en 2005 et entre  en 2009. Cependant le Yemen Post affirme que le mouvement avait  et loyalistes en 2009. Le mouvement dispose de chars et de plusieurs camions pris à l'armée yéménite durant la guerre de 2004.
Il dispose également de plusieurs mines anti-char et de missiles anti-char ainsi que diverses pièces d'artillerie lourde et légère.

Selon l'Organisation des Nations unies, l'Iran armerait le groupe depuis 2009, cependant l'information principale sur laquelle se base ce rapport, à savoir un bateau iranien intercepté chargé d'armes, serait, selon Wikileaks, erronée.

En 2020, le mouvement est considéré comme . Il possède désormais des missiles balistiques ainsi que des roquettes et des drones. De plus en plus de drones sont utilisés comme drones piégés ou drones suicides. L'attaque de début 2022 sur Abou Dhabi, capitale des Emirats arabes unis, a été menée à l'aide de Samad-2 et 3.

En mars 2022 à l'occasion du Grand Prix de Formule 1 d'Arabie Saoudite, deuxième organisé dans le pays en quelques mois, une attaque revendiquée par les Houthis avec 7 drones provoquent un énorme incendie sur un dépôt pétrolier d'Aramco, principal sponsor du Grand Prix d'Arabie Saoudite et de la Formule 1 en 2022.

Territoires contrôlés

Après leur révolte contre le gouvernement, les rebelles houthistes contrôlent l'ensemble du gouvernorat de Saada, le gouvernorat d'Al Jawf, celui d'Amran et le gouvernorat de Hajjah. Ils contrôlent également une partie de la capitale Sanaa, une partie du gouvernorat d'Al Mahwit et le village de Jabira en Arabie saoudite.

En 2015, les houthistes ont développé vers le sud leur contrôle de ces territoires et ont accès à la mer Rouge.

Selon Bachir al-Mohallal, chef de l'ONG Pulse for social justice, .

Les Houthis collectent la zakat au niveau étatique et lancent des collectes pour fêter Mawlid et l'Achoura chiite. Des superviseurs dirigent en parallèle les ministères et les gouvernorats. Certains s'occupent du domaine sécuritaire, d'autres de la zakat, d'autres sont financiers et d'autres dirigeants les prisons.

Abdelkhalek al-Houthi, frère cadet d'Abdelmalek, est chef des Forces de réserve stratégiques à partir de 2014 puis dirige la région militaire de la capitale à partir de 2018. Abdelkarim, oncle d'Abdelmalek est chef exécutif du groupe et ministre de l'Intérieur. Enfin, Yahia Badreddine al-Houthi est ministre de l'Éducation.

Les Houthis ont également interdit la commémoration de la révolution républicaine du 26 septembre et l'ont remplacée par le 21 septembre, date de leur prise de Sanaa en 2014.

Relations avec Al-Qaïda
Bien que les deux groupes veuillent renverser le gouvernement actuel, ils ne partagent pas les mêmes objectifs et ne s'entendent pas.

Al-Qaïda, organisation d'obédience sunnite, veut appliquer sa version stricte de l'Islam fondamentaliste et à terme mener le Jihad contre les pays alentour.

C'est pourquoi des heurts entre rebelles houthistes et les partisans d'Al-Qaïda dans la péninsule arabique se produisent régulièrement.

Violations des droits de l'homme
Comme de nombreux belligérants du conflit, les rebelles houthis utilisent des enfants soldats depuis au moins 2009. Cependant, les Houthis sont le groupe usant le plus d'eux, avec 140 sur 156 en 2014. Âgés de 9 à 17 ans, les recrues, parfois enrôlées de force, reçoivent un enseignement religieux zaïdite, puis sont entraînés militairement. Ces enfants-soldats prennent aussi une drogue, le khat, « plante à mâcher qui est très consommée au Yémen comme stimulant », d'après Human Rights Watch, et subissent un lavage de cerveau. Ainsi, lors de la bataille d'Aden, les chefs des Houthis ont fait croire aux enfants-soldats qu'ils combattaient des djihadistes d'AQPA, alors qu'il s'agissait en réalité de loyalistes.

En mars 2015, le journal américain The New York Times rapporte des cas de persécutions de juifs du Yémen par les Houthis.

En août 2016, Amnesty International appelle les Houthis et leurs alliés à cesser de persécuter les membres de la minorité bahaïe, dont 65 membres au moins sont ont été arrêtés arbitrairement, lors de différentes rafles dont la dernière date du 16 août. Les persécutions, débutées sous Ali Abdallah Saleh, se poursuivaient en avril 2017. En septembre 2018, 24 d'entre eux, dont un mineur, risquent la peine de mort de la part des rebelles.

Par ailleurs, contrairement à ce qu'ils affirment, les Houthis empêchent les femmes de conduire dans les territoires qu'ils contrôlent.

Le , ils arrêtent le journaliste Yahya al-Joubaïhi et le condamnent à mort le  pour . Ceci est condamné par l'Union des journalistes yéménites, Reporters sans frontières et Amnesty International.

En , les Houthis exécutent en public par balles après avoir fouetté cent fois, un homme, accusé de meurtre, de viol et de pédophilie envers une fillette de trois ans. Le , un homme ayant commis des faits similaires envers une fille de quatre ans est exécuté de la même façon, puis son corps a été suspendu à une grue. Les activistes anti-Houthis disent craindre que les opposants subissent le même sort.

Le , un tribunal houthiste condamne à mort Asma el-Omeïsi, une jeune mère de famille de vingt-deux ans, ainsi que Saïd al-Rouwaiched et Ahmed Bawazir, pour , après avoir été torturés et privés de leurs droits, selon Amnesty, qui accuse les rebelles . Le père de la jeune femme a été condamné à quinze ans de prison pour avoir laissé sa fille monter à bord du véhicule avec les deux hommes, ce qui s'apparente pour les rebelles à de l'.

En , Human Rights Watch les accuse de tortures, disparitions forcées et de prises d'otages.

Le , Amnesty les accuse d'investir des hôpitaux en les militarisant durant la bataille d'al-Hodeïda.

Le , le Programme alimentaire mondial accuse les houthis d'avoir détourné l'aide humanitaire en la revendant.

Le 6 novembre 2020, Human Rights Watch a révélé que 4 journalistes détenus arbitrairement par les autorités houthies au Yémen depuis 2015 avaient été inculpés de la peine de mort et recevaient des soins médicaux inadéquats pendant leur incarcération. Les 4 détenus ont été arrêtés et condamnés à mort sans procès équitable le 11 avril 2020, par un tribunal contrôlé par les Houthis à Sanaa. Le tribunal a inculpé les journalistes de trahison et d'espionnage pour des États étrangers compte tenu de leur travail journalistique.

One of my Dad's prized possessions is his "new" 1986 F-150 Ford Truck, with a 300-6 Cylinder engine. Many say it was the best engine Ford ever built. He bought it new from Turnpike Ford on December 6, 1985, so it is now over 30 years old.
Dad's truck now has over 101,000 miles on it. That may seem like a lot of miles, but considering its age, that's not bad. When he bought the truck, he was working at the Cannelton Coal Company Tipple at Drawdy, West Virginia, and he drove 5 miles round trip to and from work each day. Now he drives his truck for short errands like hauling firewood.
His truck is in great shape. Dad makes sure of that. Dad always says, "It's not the miles, it's how they're put on!" So who does the up-keep on his truck? Why, Dad, of course! He calls himself a "Shade-Tree Mechanic". He is a self-taught mechanic with a genius ability to work on vehicles. When I was a kid, it seemed like Dad was always "tinkering" on an engine, either his or someone else's.
Why not get a new truck?
I've asked Dad many times why he doesn't just buy a new truck. At present, the radio/cassette player won't work, and neither will the air conditioner. His answer is, "Well, nobody will know me if I get a new truck! Everybody knows this truck". He is right. In the small rural community where he lives, he always gets lots of waves and attention from friends when he drives by. "It runs good and drives good." He added that it doesn't get that hot there in the mountains anyway. He reminded me that when they went on the big trip out West many years ago, they didn't have an air conditioner, and they did okay.
Dad's first truck was a 1948 Ford pick-up. After I was born, he said that truck cab was just too crowded. So next he bought a used 1951 Pontiac from a car salesman in Whitesville, West Virginia. Then there was the 1951 Chevy Pick-up. Over the years, Dad always had a work truck and a car for the family.
Then came the camper days. When Dad and Mom bought the first Mountaineer Truck Camper, built in Clay County West Virginia, Dad's 1962 Ford F-150 truck was just too small to haul it.
He bought a blue and white Camper Special Ford to haul this first truck camper. After about 2 years, he realized he could haul a bigger camper, so he sold that truck and camper and bought a bigger Mountaineer Truck Camper. Of course he also bought a brown 3/4 ton Ford. That truck was the perfect companion for his larger camper, and my family enjoyed it for about 10 years.
Then came the motor home days. 4 motor homes to be exact. That's when Dad decided to go back to a smaller truck, and the 1986 F-150 Ford Truck joined the family.
The Front Plate on Dad's truck is rather self-explanatory.
Dad has a unique set of air horns on his truck. The air horns are Old Time Mack Air Horns, and they are at least 50 years old. They are very loud!! Every time he trades trucks, he keeps the air horns and mounts them on the new truck.
Dad has a CB Radio in his truck and his car. His "handle" is still "Wagon Train", just like it was when he used to haul "riders" to their job in Paint Creek. He said that it used to be everyone had CB Radios, but now it's mainly the big trucks.
The hood ornament on Dad's truck is a chrome horse. He ordered the original hood ornament from Warshawsky Catalog many years ago. It's been replaced several times over the years, and it has ridden on 3 different trucks, but the design is always the same.
So why does Dad say he has a "new" Ford Truck? It's the new paint job. After much deliberation, he finally had it painted red, like the original color. It looks great. It is a new truck! It mainly stays in the garage to keep it looking good!
Dad is very happy with his -
"new" Ford Truck!

In the sixth episode of FX's explosive Fosse/Verdon, Bob Fosse's vices continue to catch up with him, culminating in a threatening cardiac event on the first day of rehearsal for Chicago.
It is mortality, not a show, that reunites Bob and Gwen in "All I Care About is Love".
"The show must go on," or so the theatre people say. This adage is tested in the sixth episode of Fosse/Verdon. Despite being institutionalized, sleep deprived, and deep in the hopeless edit for a quickly collapsing film, Bob Fosse is pressured by his ex-wife Gwen Verdon to begin rehearsal for Chicago.
Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow…
On Broadway, actors perform a grueling eight-shows-a-week schedule, with one day off before the cycle begins again. And in "All I Care about is Love," Fosse is trapped in his own version of this showbiz loop — just like with Cabaret, he's locked in an edit suite, miserably making cuts and screwing the assistant editor. And just like with Cabaret, his drug use and chain-smoking make the days begin to blend together into a seemingly endless purgatory. An escalating, rhythmic montage of lighting cigarettes, shaking pill bottles, having sex and heavily sighing over disappointing footage highlights this emotional overload.
Fosse's ex-wife Gwen can see that he is not a healthy man, but her own aspirations for glory and obsession with the Chicago project overshadow her empathy. She might not have much left for the man who serially cheated on her on film after film, and consistently belittle her work or took credit for it. But nevertheless, despite Fosse clearly being at the end of his room, Gwen pushes him to begin rehearsals. Her own career has stalled out, and Chicago represents for her the opportunity to play a leading role again, and relive the fame she once enjoyed.
A Special Relationship
It's not surprising then when Bob Fosse is admitted to the hospital with a heart attack barely halfway through the first rehearsal day. Having not slept the night before and loaded up on amphetamines, constantly coughing and then immediately lighting up thereafter, Fosse's health is in grave condition. Seeing her husband in active cardiac arrest jolts Gwen out of her reverie — once again her own career ambitions are halted by her ex-husband.
The complicated relationship between the divorced couple is on full display in the hospital, where Fosse's girlfriend Annie is dismissed by Gwen. When offered a sandwich by a stranger, Annie lies and says that she is married to Fosse, the truth of her depressing status lingers long after the stranger departs. As Gwen explains to their daughter, Fosse and Verdon have something indescribable, a familial need for each other that transcends sex.
Sex, for Fosse, is enormously tied to identity and self-worth. In "All I Care About is Love," audiences learn that Fosse was molested as a child after performing at late night clubs, and then belittled by his father for not bringing in more money dancing to support the household. Fosse, in imagined standup comedy sequences where he plays Lenny Bruce, muses on the irony. A thirteen year old boy who didn't even know the word for it was having sex. What do you call that? Sex, money, success, and adoration all became muddied in Fosse's mind from a very young age. It somehow makes sense then, how Fosse is unable to maintain the traditional, monogamous relationship. Sex for him is about a lot of things, but not love.

Here's the backstory on how these favorite tips came to be.
This all started as a challenge from my family. I have an Instagram account, (follow along HERE). I love sharing daily pictures of our home there and connecting with other home decor enthusiasts.
One thing I wasn't doing on Instagram was Instastories. This feature let's you post a video which disappears in 24 hrs. My family was encouraging me to connect more with my Insta friends and thought Instastories would do just that, as well as get me on the other side of the camera.
They challenged me to post in Instastories once a day for the month of October. I thought about it and wanted to do it….knowing it would definitely push me out of my comfort zone. But if I was going to do it I wanted to provide my Insta friends with something useful.
So I decided everyday in October I'd post a "tip of the day." These were essentially "life hacks" mostly based around household related chores…things we all need to do but hate doing. My plan was to share an easier way to do them, that you may not have thought of.
The response was so overwhelming and positive. I got so many encouraging messages and many people thanking me for these tips! I was thrilled they were helping my friends out, and my family was right-I got to know my Insta friends better and they got to know me better.
So based on your feedback on Instagram I put together a list of the TOP THREE "TIP OF THE DAY" videos. If you aren't following me on Instagram, that's okay I have no doubt you'll love these tips too!
Here are the top three favorites!!! Drum roll please……….
This is a fool proof way to remove pesky price tag stickers off the bottom of anything glass. Click HERE or the picture below to see the how-to video.
This was a fun tip, because it was something I'd been putting off and what better way to do a dreaded chores but to do it with several hundred friends!
I got so many messages that you needed to clean your machines out too, so I put up videos on how to clean your top loading washer and your front loading washer.
Based on the responses this was hands down THE FAVORITE!
I know most of you that follow my blog also follow along on Instagram. Thank you for being so kind and supportive here and on Insta.
I appreciate each and every one of you and your kind and encouraging comments, they make my day! I'm honored when you find Meaningful Spaces a useful resource!

Do Any of the Justice League Make Cameos in 'Shazam'?
Movies By TooFab Staff | 4/5/2019 9:22 AM PT
17 Hot AF Photos of 'Justice League' Stud View Photos
There is a secret cameo... and it is not listed in the film's pre-released credits.
Shazam! is set squarely in the DC Extended Universe — which means the Justice League are very much a part of it.
So do any of the Big Red Cheese's comicbook stablemates make an appearance in the film?
Spoiler alert: Yes. Three of the Justice League are strongly referenced, and one even shows up in person.
Billy Batson's new best friend and adoptive brother Freddy — played by "It" actor Jack Dylan Grazer — is a huge superhero buff, and has tons of merchandise, most of it looking like Warner Bros. film swag.
Joaquin Phoenix Transforms Into the 'Joker' In Dark, Intense First Trailer
He wears a Superman backpack to school, rocks an Aquaman T-shirt, and has a replica Batman baterang, just like the ones Ben Affleck uses.
He even has a real bullet, certified and authenticated, that was recovered after bouncing harmlessly off the Man of Steel's chest.
In another nod to their shared universe, during a climactic battle between Shazam (Zachary Levi) and super-villain Dr. Thaddeus Sivana (Mark Strong), an awestruck child catches sight of them while re-enacting a battle between Superman and Batman action figures.
But in one super sweet scene towards the end of the film, Shazam himself shows up at school to prove to the packed cafeteria he is indeed BFFs with Freddy — and he brings along a Super Friend.
Superman walks into the cafeteria, carrying a tray of lunch, and joins them at their table. Although we never see his face, it is the same suit Henry Cavill rocked in "Man of Steel", "Batman Vs Superman" and "Justice League".
But is it Henry Cavill himself? The jury is still out, as the secret cameo is not listed in the film's pre-released credits.

The writers also take a good-natured poke at another one of their own, buried right at the end of the credits in the film's second post-credit scene.
The scene actually appears to be a deleted one, and one which also already showed up in the Chinese trailer for the film.
As Shazam continues to try to figure out which super powers he has, he attempts to talk to a goldfish in a bowl.
"Don't beat yourself up buddy, you're going to find someone. Yeah, I'm sure because there's plenty of fish in the sea," he tells the fish to no response — an obvious swipe at one of Aquaman's much-derided super powers.
"What could we do with that that's cool?" he demands of Freddy who, pointing to his Aquaman-branded shirt sarcastically fires back: "Uh, maybe command an army of billions in the ocean?"
The genuinely hilarious Shazam hits theatres on Friday April 5.

Inspectors have said the quality of social work practice in an 'inadequate' council is improving, despite management oversight and supervision not being consistently good.
A monitoring inspection in Slough children's services trust said social workers made "stringent efforts to build trusting relationships with children" and found most assessments were "informed by history", were comprehensive, and effectively explored risk and protective factors.
"Skilled workers in the multidisciplinary innovation hub deliver intensive intervention, including support outside of office hours. This helps children to remain in the care of their families when appropriate," inspectors found.
The inspection report added that social workers and support workers spoke positively about the benefit of co-working with each other to support children.
Despite the improvements noted in social work practice, the overall pace of improvement in Slough had been "slow", and management oversight "lacked rigour".
"As a result, there is sometimes drift and delay in action when risks to children increase, or progress is limited or not sustained," the report said.
The trust had taken steps to remedy this by introducing refreshed supervision standards and performance monitoring, but it was too early to measure impact.
"There is a developing performance management culture within the service. Performance information is in place and used by managers. Recently introduced performance surgeries ensure frontline managers are held to account for their hub's performance," inspectors said.
Workforce stability had improved over 2017, inspectors said, with 81% of staff now permanent and speaking positively about working in the trust.
Most of the workforce's caseloads were deemed "manageable" but inspectors found a minority of social workers holding caseloads of more than 30 children.
Slough children's trust chief executive Nicola Clemo, said the report showed the trust was "getting there".

A Checkers Drive-In "Mistakenly" Stored Hundreds of Burger Buns in Its Bathroom
Customers aren't buying the restaurant's excuse.

Checkers customers in Cleveland, Tennessee are having seconds thoughts about the popular fast-food chain after a man found racks of burger buns sitting in a public bathroom stall.
Stephen Staley, who works as a manager at a nearby McDonald's (the competition!), was visiting the Cleveland Checkers location when he stumbled upon the bread display next to the restaurant's toilet. Naturally, he had to capture the evidence on his phone, snapping a selfie while pointing incredulously at the hundreds of tainted buns behind him.
"My first thought was 'Are they going to serve them?,'" Staley told Cleveland's WRCB on Tuesday. "[I was] speechless other than that."
Staley, who says he's currently enrolled in ServSafe's food safety training program, confronted the manager of the Checkers location about the issue. "They said they were trying to get them out of there and inside of the restaurant," Staley explains. "Food safety is definitely a big priority in a restaurant."
An inspector was brought on the scene Sunday morning and found the buns untainted and inside the garbage.
Checkers quickly fired back after the outcry, releasing a statement regarding the incident:
"The health and safety of our guests is our top priority, and a bread delivery mistakenly left in the bathroom is completely unacceptable. The buns were misplaced during a delivery at the franchise-operated Checkers location in Cleveland, Tennessee, on Saturday, April 23, 2016, and when discovered, they were immediately disposed of by the restaurant team. The buns were never served, and the employees involved in the delivery have been disciplined."
It's hard to believe someone would "mistakenly" leave a tower of burger buns inside a restroom, and Checkers customers aren't buying the excuse. "It's nasty. [Y]ou know the management had to know about this," one patron told WRCB. "I'm not going to eat there any more."
Probably a good decision on his part.

Between the snow-capped Sierra Nevada mountains and the Mediterranean Sea , lies the area known as La Alpujarra. It is a place of virtually unspoilt natural beauty with panoramic views of rolling hills, intense red cliffs, and steep ravines.
In 1492, having been expelled from Granada by their Christian conquerors, the Moors took refuge in these mountains where they maintained their customs and way of life for a further century. Their legacy remains in the architecture of the village houses, the network of irrigation channels (acequias) and the local cuisine.
"In late January the terraces take on a pink and white hue as almond blossoms burst into life"
The white villages of La Alpujarra cling precariously to the mountainsides. Like sugar cubes, piled haphazardly on one another, they shine white in the bright Andalucian sun and at night twinkle like clusters of little stars. The architecture is unique in Europe but identical to that of the villages in the Atlas mountains of Morocco . Walls, a metre thick, keep the houses cool in Summer and warm in Winter. Roofs are made of heavy stone slabs covered with a thick layer of launa (a sort of clay formed from the decomposition of grey magnesium slate.) A tall round chimney protrudes from every rooftop.
Each village has its own particular charm but three of the prettiest in the region are Pampaniera, Bubion and Capileira. At an altitude of 1476m, Trevelez, the highest village in Spain , is internationally famous for its cured hams, dried in the mountain wind. The little village of Yégen was immortalised by the writer Gerald Brennan in his classic "South from Granada ." A member of the Bloomsbury group, he spent several years in Yégen in the late 1920's where he was visited by many literary friends, including Virginia and Leonard Woolf and Lytton Strachey. Six kilometres south of Yégen stands the village of Válor , birthplace of Aben Humeya, leader of the last Morisco uprising against the Christians in 1569. Each year on 14th and 15th September the rebellion is re-enacted in the village square as part of the fiesta, and is a spectacle well worth seeing.
Farming in La Alpujarra is carried out on terraces, carved high into the mountainsides. The Moors in the tenth and eleventh centuries developed an intricate system of irrigation channels, called acequias, which still carry water from the high Sierra to the terraces below. Chestnuts and cherries are grown on the upper slopes while olives, almonds, oranges, figs and vines flourish lower down. Stooped men in flat caps work the terraces with mules and the sound of jangling bells can be heard as goats graze the hillsides.
In contrast to this traditional lifestyle, towns such as Orgiva, Lanjaron and Ugíjar offer modern hotel accommodation, shops, restaurants, night-clubs and Internet cafés.
In late January the terraces take on a pink and white hue as almond blossoms burst into life. Carpets of wild flowers delight the eye in Spring. In Summer each village celebrates its own fiesta with colourful processions, fireworks and all night dancing in the village square. Wine-making in Autumn often takes place outdoors on the narrow streets and little plazas. In Winter the nights are cold but by day people sit outside cafés, sipping coffee or enjoying a beer and tapa.
Although still largely unspoilt by tourism, in recent years La Alpujarra has become increasingly popular with walkers and nature lovers. The area is famous for its variety of wildlife, including wild boar, mountain goats, foxes, dear, eagle and partridge.
The traditional craft of rug making continues to thrive as well as the age old practice of weaving baskets and panniers from Esparto grass. Hand-painted ceramic tiles and pottery are also typical of the region. In recent years many artists, artisans and writers have been attracted to La Alpujarra. Cortijos (farmhouses) which had fallen into ruin have been given a new lease of life by foreigners seeking a life of peace and tranquillity.
La Alpujarra is reputed to have the cleanest air in Europe . Its people are friendly, the food and wine excellent and the views breathtaking. One of the few unspoilt regions of Spain it is a wonderful place to visit or settle.

Chevy's Legacy at Le Mans: Performance with a French Accent
Corvette's 45-Year Heritage at the 24 Hours of Le Mans
LE MANS, France - This year's edition of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, to be contested on June 18-19, marks Corvette's 45th anniversary at the Circuit of the Sarthe. In 1960, the thunder of a GM small-block V-8 engine first rocked Tertre Rouge, resonated on the Mulsanne Straight, and rumbled through Arnage. While Chevrolet is widely recognized as an iconic American brand and the most successful manufacturer in American motorsports history, Chevrolet also has been well represented in the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Over there, Chevrolet performance has a French accent at the world's most famous endurance race.
Corvette Racing's recent success at Le Mans was presaged by generations of Chevrolet-powered drivers who raced production Corvettes, handbuilt prototypes and homebuilt specials in the legendary road race. Chevrolet's rich racing heritage in Europe spans the motorsports spectrum form Briggs Cunningham's trio of solid-axle Corvettes and John Greenwood's wide-bodied winged warriors to Jim Hall's innovative Chaparral coupes and Billy Hagan's NASCAR-inspired Camaros. The following are highlights from two memorable years for Corvette at Le Mans.
1960: Cunningham Corvettes
It was Briggs Cunningham, a wealthy sportsman racer, aspiring automobile manufacturer and defender of America's Cup, who first fulfilled Zora Arkus-Duntov's dream of seeing Corvettes competing at Le Mans. Cunningham fielded a trio of Corvettes at the French classic in 1960. Wearing the blue and white colors that traditionally identified American entries in international racing, the Team Cunningham Corvettes were driven by three pairs of racers: Cunningham and Bill Kimberly, Dick Thompson and Fred Windridge, and John Fitch and Bob Grossman. Duntov was listed as a reserve driver (he had previously posted class victories at Le Mans in a Porsche), but Zora did not drive a Corvette in his beloved race. A fourth Corvette entered by airline pilot Lucky Casner under the Camoradi USA banner rounded out the Corvette quartet. Team Camoradi's sponsors were chiefly race fans who yearned to see an American entry in the French classic.
When the 55 entries were lined up for the traditional Le Mans start according to engine size, the three Cunningham Corvettes occupied the first three spots with their 283-cubic-inch fuel-injected small-block V8s. The cars were in near-stock trim, with larger gas tanks, quick-fill gas caps, magnesium wheels, oil coolers, driving lights, racing seats and heavy-duty suspension components among their limited modifications - an expression of Duntov's philosophy of using racing to develop high-performance components for future production vehicles.
Corvette No. 1 crashed during a heavy rainstorm at the three-hour mark; the car was destroyed, but the driver escaped injury. Corvette No. 2 lost time when Thompson had to dig it out of one of the numerous sandpits that lined the circuit, and then the overtaxed engine expired in the 20th hour. Meanwhile, Fitch and Grossman continued to circle the immense course, running as high as seventh during a cold and rainy night of racing
In the waning hours of the race, the engine overheated and lost coolant, but regulations prohibited the team from refilling the radiator. Yankee ingenuity triumphed when team manager Alfred Momo ordered the crew to pack the engine with ice from the team's catering tent. Driving at reduced speed, the ice-cooled small-block V-8 powered the Cunningham team to an eighth-place finish overall and first in the big-bore GT class - the best finish by a Corvette until the arrival of Corvette Racing's C5-Rs.
1967: Seven Liters at Le Mans
Chevy's second-generation Corvette made its Le Mans debut in 1967 with Corvette legends Dick Guldstrand and Bob Bondurant sharing the driving duties. Entered by Dana Chevrolet, a Southern California dealership with an ambitious performance program, the big-block Stingray blitzed the Mulsanne Straight at more than 170 mph.
Thirty-eight years later, driver Dick Guldstrand returns to Le Mans this year with Corvette Racing. No one can appreciate the changes that have swept through the sport more than this legendary Corvette racer.
"I was the manager of the Dana Chevrolet high-performance center at the time," Guldstrand recalled. "It all started when L-88 Corvettes won their class at Daytona and Sebring. Can you imagine the publicity if Corvette had won Le Mans, too?
"We were really on a high, and of course Duntov was beside himself. He'd call me every day and say, 'Deek, we got to do this, and this, and be careful of the aerodynamics.' There really weren't any aerodynamics; we screwed a piece of aluminum underneath the front end to try to keep the nose down!
"That car was blindingly fast on the Mulsanne Straight," Guldstrand remembered. "I'd done quite a bit of high-speed driving at Daytona and Sebring, but nothing like that long straightaway. We were flat-out for two or three minutes, and it was mind-boggling. You'd get down to the kink at the end of the straight, and then go over a bump. You had to be perfect to go through there wide open. The first time I drove it, I used up all of the road and some of the dirt getting through there."
Today GM Racing's Le Mans effort involves dozens of team personnel who support the twin C6.R Corvettes. A complete 18-wheeler and 60,000 pounds of equipment accompanied the race team to Le Mans - a far cry from the way it was in 1967.
"We flew the car to the Orly airport near Paris," Guldstrand remembered, "and when we unloaded the car off the plane, all we had for support was a diesel truck and a four-door Opel - not even a trailer. So Bobby Bondurant and I filled up the gas tank, jumped into the race car, and drove it the whole distance to Le Mans!
"The car had open sidepipe headers, and red, white and blue paint, so people certainly knew we were coming. The exhausts were blowing straw and dirt 30 feet in the air, and the crowds were getting bigger at every village we drove through. We got to Chartres, and damn near broke the stained glass windows out of the cathedral. A gendarme was standing on his little box in the middle of the square directing traffic, and he gave us a military salute as we went by, just as the exhaust about blew him off the stand.
"By the time we got to Le Mans, we had a following that was staggering," Guldstrand said. "The French loved that crazy red, white and blue American car. Unfortunately, the car was much too light for its class because we'd stripped it, so we had to fly the bumpers, the grille and all of the stuff we'd taken off over to France and bolt them back on the car before we could qualify."
The Stingray's near-stock 7-liter (427-cubic-inch) L-88 big-block engine was not up to the task for the entire 24 hours, and the Corvette's day ended shortly before the halfway point. Ironically, the Corvette C6.Rs that will race for Corvette Racing's fourth Le Mans victory on June 18-19 are also powered by 7-liter V-8 engines - although these powerplants are based on the GM small-block V-8 engine family that includes the 7-liter, 505-horsepower production LS7 that powers the 2006 Corvette Z06 supercar.
"We were leading our class by miles when the engine broke a wrist pin," Guldstrand explained. "We knew that was a weak point and we were trying to take it easy, but it didn't survive. Despite how our Le Mans adventure turned out, those were wonderful times with really great people. That's really what kept Corvette's racing spirit alive."

Pine Bros. is a US manufacturer of throat drops.

John Herman Pine and George William Pine were Philadelphia confectioner brothers. They emigrated from Germany in the 1860s with their parents, Frederick Pine and Margaretta Knopple Pine. In 1870 they formed Pine Brothers and opened a confectionery shop, selling Pine Brothers Glycerine Tablets.

The Pine family continued to run the Pine Bros. Soft Throat Drops business until the 1930s. The business has been sold several times since then. It was recently revived in 2012 by Victoria Knight-McDowell, creator of dietary supplement Airborne. The company continues to make softish cough drops.

He grew up relativly normal untill one day while returning to the orphanage he was attacked. When the mugger discovered he had no money he fired his gun and Zelenal threw up his arms. The man fired again but nothing happened. He opened his eyes and saw a golden field protcting him. The crook ran when he heard sirens wailing.
Later on when he was 15 he was on a walk when he saw a friend from the orphanage being attacked. When the man went to shoot his friend Zelenal stuck out his right hand screaming, "No!" He became weaker as a ball of light left his hand and struck the man, nearly killing him.
As the years went by Zelenal sharpened his sword skills and practiced with his powers. Eventually he learned that he could fly, teleport, and slightly control time. All the while he kept studying mytholagy. His favorite was the legend of the Celestial Gaurdians. Heavenly beings that protected all life and wielded great power. The strongest of them all, the Celestial of Light, was said to wield a powerful blade known as the Reversion Blade. Said blade was said to exist as two different blades now and somehow Zelenal knew the weapon he had was one.

History: Born to an Avatar mother, and a Na'vi father, Txep had many physical traits of an Avatar, [five digits, smaller eyes, etc.] he lived a relatively normal life but, due to his five fingered hands, found it difficult to grasp the octo-numeric system. Years later, On his second hunt, the group encountered the deadly Palulukan, in a desperate attempt to save a close friend, Txep killed the beast, -almost singlehanded- and was awarded with rights to its hide, he designed a set of "armor" from the black leather of the Palulukan. After bonding with an Ikran, the now adult Txep has yet to choose a mate.
Note: Palulukan Armor: Txep's unique Palulukan leather armor consists of a sleeve extending from a fingerless glove on the left hand to the base of his left deltoid, where a large chitinous plate is held in place by a strap connecting to a bandolier recovered from the Avatar armory in Hell's Gate, which holds a knife of the same origin, and provided a quiver for his arrows and a sheath for his bow [Also wrapped in Palulukan leather]. The bandolier is worn over a tank-top like shirt; his right hand is covered with a fingerless glove and shorter sleeve, which reaches only as far as his elbow.

Medical payments coverage or MedPay for short is a key coverage which Virginia motorists can have on their automobile insurance policies. However, MedPay is a voluntary coverage and so you do not automatically have it.
Medical payments coverage says that if you or anyone else gets hurt in your vehicle, your insurance company will pay medical bills up to a certain dollar figure, typically $1,000.00 or $5,000.00 automatically without regards to who is at fault. Medical payments coverage is a really good deal for VA policy holders because it means that your medical bills are going to get paid in the short run whether or not you have health insurance.
Often having medical payments coverage can make the difference between having a personal injury case that results in a happy ending and one that does not.
Medical payments coverage is such a good deal that the insurance industry doesn't try too hard to sell it to you. The question is whether you had it on the date of the accident. Most of my clients over the past 23 years have no idea whether they do or don't have medical payments coverage and if so how much. One of the first things we do when we sit down with a new automobile accident client in Virginia Beach or Norfolk is to explain to them what medical payments coverage is and confirm if they do or don't have it on their own insurance. By making sure that the personal injury client gets every last penny that they are entitled to, including medical payments coverage, after an accident which is somebody else's fault we do everything we can to make sure that the final outcome is as good as it can be for somebody who has been in the unfortunate situation of being hurt on the road by somebody else's error.

«Мир наизнанку» () — украинская познавательная телепрограмма о путешествиях в различные страны мира. Авторский проект журналиста и путешественника Дмитрия Комарова. Первый премьерный выпуск состоялся на телеканале «1+1» 11 декабря 2010 года. Повторные показы программы выходят на Украине, в Белоруссии, Израиле, Германии,  Литве, Таиланде, Молдавии, а также выходили в России.

О программе
«Мир наизнанку» показывает нетуристические и малоизученные регионы планеты. Автор проекта Дмитрий Комаров в своих репортажах фокусируется прежде всего на обратной стороне жизни страны, которую обычно не видят туристы. Если же репортаж делается в известной туристической точке, то её раскрывают для зрителя с необычного ракурса, с «изнанки».

Каждый сезон телепроекта «Мир наизнанку» посвящён одной стране или географическому региону.

Съёмочная группа
Съёмочная группа состоит всего из двух человек — ведущего Дмитрия Комарова и оператора Александра Дмитриева. Уже по прилёте на место съемок к Дмитрию и Александру присоединяется местный гид-переводчик, и дальше команда путешествует втроём.

Подготовка
Перед вылетом Дмитрий с коллегами в Киеве изучает всю доступную информацию о стране, а по прилёте проводит ещё дополнительную подготовку. Совместно с местными гидами, экспертами по стране, этнографами и дипломатами, которые долго там работают, в первые дни Дмитрий составляет приблизительный маршрут.

Отсутствие сценариев
Чёткого сценария, как принято при создании телепрограмм, в «Мире наизнанку» не существует. Отсутствие заранее прописанных сценариев — главная особенность проекта. Многие темы появляются экспромтом, уже в процессе съёмок. Это делает программу максимально живой и реалистичной. По сути зритель просто следит за приключениями съёмочной группы и видит то, что обычно остается за кадром: подготовку к сложным съёмкам, непредвиденные ситуации, диалоги. Камера просто фиксирует всё, что происходит.

Экспедиции
Каждая экспедиция «Мира наизнанку» длится несколько месяцев. Обычно в стране Дмитрий и Александр проводят от 90 до 120 дней, однако экспедиция в Бразилию стала рекордной — она длилась 203 дня. Очень часто съёмки проходят в походных условиях, вдали от цивилизации и комфорта. В поисках интересных репортажей Дмитрий и Александр месяцами живут в джунглях вместе с племенами, проводят экспедиции в горах и пустынях, совершают восхождения на горные вершины. Часто проводят собственные журналистские расследования. Они никогда заранее не покупают билеты и не бронируют гостиницы, потому что неизвестно, как пойдут съёмки и сколько придется пробыть в том или ином месте. Часто планы резко меняются, когда встречается интересная тема. Практически в каждой экспедиции приходится несколько раз менять дату обратного вылета, так как появляются новые съёмки.

Ещё одна важная особенность программы — всё, что Дмитрий показывает, он испытывает на себе лично. Это даёт возможность зрителю лучше почувствовать страну и события, представив себя на месте ведущего. Дмитрий осваивает новые профессии, участвует в карнавалах, праздниках, обрядах и церемониях. Рассказывая о кулинарной традиции, Дмитрий обязательно пробует все блюда, даже самые страшные для европейца. Например, вместе с местными жителями Камбоджи он ловил пауков-тарантулов, жарил их и ел, пробовал ядовитую рыбу фугу в Японии и ел личинки насекомых в джунглях. Если в стране происходят важные события, Дмитрий непременно отправляется туда, чтобы увидеть изнутри или же стать участником ликвидации последствий природных катастроф

Оператор
Первый экспериментальный сезон «Мира наизнанку» в 2010 году в Камбодже Дмитрий Комаров снимал с оператором Андреем Поливаным. Со второго сезона, который снимался в 2011 году в Индии, работу над проектом начал оператор Александр Дмитриев. Он работает до сегодняшнего дня и по сути является вторым героем программы. Зрители хорошо знают Александра, ведь события происходят при его непосредственном участии. За всю историю проекта Александра Дмитриева только один раз подменял украинский оператор-постановщик Александр Шилов. Это произошло, когда во время непальской экспедиции Комаров и Дмитриев участвовали в спасательных работах на месте авиакатастрофы в горах. Во время поисково-спасательных работ Дмитриев получил серьёзную травму, разрыв коленной связки. Его на вертолёте эвакуировали в госпиталь, а на помощь из Киева срочно прилетел Александр Шилов.

История создания
Идея создать собственную программу появилась у Дмитрия Комарова во время самостоятельного путешествия по северной части Таиланда в 2008 году. На тот момент он был уже достаточно опытным путешественником, который объездил более 20 экзотических стран. Его самостоятельное путешествие по Индии даже было внесено в Национальный реестр рекордов Украины — своим ходом он преодолел 20 000 км за 90 дней. Но опыта работы на телевидении у Комарова тогда не было. С 17 лет он работал журналистом и фотографом в печатных изданиях (газеты «Теленеделя», «Комсомольская Правда», «Известия в Украине», мужские журналы Playboy и EGO, и другие). В газеты и журналы Комаров готовил в частности репортажи о своих путешествиях. За свои деньги он ехал в незнакомую страну, сам, с фотоаппаратом и ноутбуком, и проводил там по несколько месяцев.

По итогам экспедиций он писал репортажи в СМИ и проводил масштабные фотовыставки.

В 2008 году Дмитрий поехал изучать Юго-Восточную Азию. После поездки в Камбоджу он перебрался на север Таиланда и месяц изучал нетуристические поселения на границе с Мьянмой.

От этой мысли до первого выпуска программы прошло меньше 2 лет. На тот момент у Комарова не было никаких связей на телевидении и опыта производства программ. Он начал с названия проекта, которое придумал на украинском курорте минеральных вод Схидница, возле Трускавца.

Потом Комаров с бизнес-планом стал обращаться на украинские телеканалы, искать финансирование, но везде получал отказ. До тех пор, пока случайно не познакомился с генеральным директором телеканала «Сити» и одним из продюсеров «1+1». Тот сразу понял, что проект имеет огромный потенциал, и сказал, что хотел бы посмотреть на эту программу, как она будет выглядеть. Но вкладывать средства в эксперимент с участием журналиста без телевизионного опыта никто рисковать не хотел. Дмитрий нашел средства, рискнул и поехал в Камбоджу, чтобы снять пилотный проект самостоятельно.

Комаров был уверен, что делает проект для киевского телеканала «Сити». Но, увидев программу, продюсер сразу предложил разместить его на телеканале «1+1», одном из самых рейтинговых в Украине.

Первый сезон программы был посвящён Камбодже и состоял из 7 выпусков. Оператором выступил Андрей Поливаный, а Дмитрий Комаров совмещал в себе роль ведущего, сценариста, редактора, режиссёра. Абсолютно вся работа по подготовке выпусков была сделана Дмитрием вдвоём с режиссёром монтажа Виталием Нарышкиным. Премьера состоялась на украинском телеканале «1+1» 11 декабря 2010 года.

С 2010 по 2022 год передача транслировалась на разных телеканалах в семи странах мира. В связи с вторжением России на Украину программа прекратила свою трансляцию на российском телевидении. С 15 августа 2022 года программа транслируется на канале «ТЕТ», по будням, в 17:00, с украинским закадровым озвучиванием.

Кроме того, программа «Мир наизнанку» инициировала регистрацию рекордов для уникальных героев своих программ:
 2017 — Непал — 24—летнему Кахендре Тапа Магара, которого называют «Маленьким Буддой», вернули звание «самого маленького мобильного человека» в «Книге рекордов Гиннесса». Его рост 67 см. В 2010 году Кахендра потерял этот титул, поскольку был найден более низкий мужчина. Пересмотр данных, инициированный программой «Мир наизнанку», показал, что Кахендра всё же являлся самым низким человеком в мире. Впоследствии он был повторно внесён в «Книгу рекордов Гиннесса».
 2018 — Бразилия — Витор Мартинс был внесён в Национальный реестр рекордов Бразилии как «Самый татуированный взрослый человек Бразилии».
 2019 — Бразилия — Валдир Сегато установил рекорд «Самый большой ненатуральный бицепс Бразилии».
 2020 — Пакистан — Ахмед Хан установил рекорд «По выпучиванию глаз в Пакистане».
