Among the nocturnal creatures that Willow the Vampire and her friends might come across as either friend or foe will be undoubtedly moths and their supernatural counterpart, the fairies.
It is easy to see how in ancient times people mistook butterflies and moths for magical creatures. The way moths are attracted to light, even if it burns them and the way butterflies magically appear out of their chrysalis to eventually feed on nectar of flowers seems somehow supernatural and otherworldy.
The beauty of moths and butterflies, their stunning array of colours and patterns, have made them the most sought after, studied and most admired of all insects. Both belong to the order of Lepidoptera, meaning "scale wing" in the Greek language.
They have four broad wings which are coated in miniscule, overlapping scales, which are in fact hollow, flattened hairs creating the iridescence and bright colours. Nearly all moths and butterflies are plant feeders. There are a total of 131 families and some 165,000 species in the world, many of which are threatened with extinction due to loss of habitat and use of insecticide in agriculture.
Willow would naturally be more concerned with moths than butterflies, particularly since moths and bats are natural enemies. Surprisingly, almost 85% of species in the Lepidoptera families are actually moths, most of which are nocturnal. Owlet or noctuid moths have hearing organs on their thorax which can pick the echolocation signals bats use to get about and find their prey (namely moths).
While fairies can have any number of coloured outfits, just like butterflies, moths are generally more restraint in their colouring. Many have cryptic colouration, meaning they have mottled wings that can blend into the woodland habitat more easily.
Among the largest moths – or indeed butterflies – is the Giant Agrippa with a wingspan of 12 inches (30 cm). It also has mottled colouring, while the Red underwing moth sports bright red colours for its pair of smaller underwings.
The beautiful Indian Luna moth on the other hand only lives for one week, during which it doesn't feed at all; therefore, it is less careful in its colouring. It has two long tails emanating from its underwings and is a pale turquoise colour. The Bent-wing ghost moth is brightly coloured in russet and browns, while the Owl moth can blend into any woodland habitat without being spotted, its mottled wings provide perfect camouflage.
Perhaps the star prize for colouring has to go to the Giant atlas moth, which sports red, blue, grey, yellow and orange in its wings – as well has boasting of the largest wind surface area of any moth in the world. The Eyed hawk moth is less colourful but still impressive. It has large eyespots on its hindwings to frighten off predators. Its forewings mimic dead leaves to render their owner invisible in woodland undergrowth.
I'm as yet undecided if Willow meets fairies who are friend or foe. Spirits like fairies are often portrayed as quite mischievous, only interested in pursuing their own ends. Fairies are often accused of stealing babies and leaving changelings in their place and there are numerous methods by which people sought to protect themselves from becoming a victim of fairy magic, such as using charms made from rowan or using herbal concoctions or carrying cold iron, which fairies for some reason are allergic to.
Just like people prefer butterflies over moths, they seem happy liking fairy godmothers but rather prejudiced against other kinds of fairies. Given that we have so far seen how many creatures of the night have simply been maligned because they are nocturnal it seems inevitable that moths and fairies should become Willow the Vampire's allies rather than her enemies.
Ya, it's your local fairy sprite here! Like Magsx2, I like the Indian Moon moth and have never seen it before. I quite adore fairies, whether naughty or not, (I think I am really a Victorian who has time travelled). therefore I shall await Willow's escapades with the fairies with excitement. One note on moths, however, I did like them until recently – one has been in my wardrobe and bitten holes in a few of my favourite jumpers.
Must have been the Hungry Jumper Moth, notorious for that sort of thing. Most widespread in Greater London, where they're attracted by the blonde halo of Boris and the glare of the London Eye:) Mating season conincides with mayoral election time.
Are you saying that Boris is a giant moth who is driving other moths into a sort of frantic craze in the hope of mating with him? I would like to know what Big Dave Cameron thinks of his top star acting in such a manner!
blonde halo = light burns moths that were stupid enough to follow to that point.
I have never heard of the moom moth before, what an unreal looking moth it is, I think it is shaped a bit like a flying craft that I am seen in some movies, I also love the colour as well, very unusual.
Hi magsx2, actually, it's called the Indian Moon Moth, Wiki mistyped the caption:) but I agree, it's a beautiful & unusual moth. In literature, folklore and legends fairies are often shown as being rather wicked creatures, so I'm seeking to redress that a bit in the next Willow book.

Watch as prismatic 3D shapes transform into people in Mikey Dowdle's charming animation
Complete with a retro colour palette and soft synth music, the animation – titled People – started out as sketches of strangers on a train.
Alif Ibrahim
There's always something special about short and charming animations. Unlike longer pieces of work with epic stories and narration that took dozens of rewrites to get just right, smaller animations tend to come from a seedling of an idea, to then be built upon with love and attention. It's more personal and often playful in tone, touching an innocent side of you that you thought was gone. You're compelled to sit and watch and, after all, you've probably got 20 seconds to spare, right? You'll find yourself smiling, ready to share the clip with a friend.
In People, London-based designer and animator Mikey Dowdle has captured the magic that these mini animations can behold. In the short loops, simple geometric shapes bob and bounce, forming silhouettes of people. Soft synths play in the background as these shapes transform, reminiscent of early computer ads and public service announcement inserts of the 80s and 90s. "I spend most of my time on commercial or client motion graphics work but have always tried to work on my own projects when I can as well. Stylistically, People has quite a few similarities to some of my other personal work. I love simplified geometric characters and animation that feels a bit handmade or stop motion-esque," Mikey tells It's Nice That.
"The execution of this project was a little different though. I focussed a lot more on different ways to use light and colour and the scope was a lot bigger than I'd usually aim for. People involved creating more than just a single animation that I'd typically aim for in a usual project but also a logo, identity, posters and even the words of a copywriter to give the project an edge," he says. These words came from copywriter Kathryn Slater, who contributed quotes to the poster that contextualised the characters and unified the tone of the separate loops he made.
Mikey Dowdle: People (Copyright © Mikey Dowdle, 2021)
The project started before the pandemic, when Mikey started doodling people's silhouettes in his sketchbook while riding the train. At first, these started out as black and white silhouettes without dimension, colour or texture, but eventually grew as he explored the project deeper. "The first big progression was figuring out the visual direction to take them. I then picked the project back up, after having a bit of a pause on it, when we went into lockdown and I think this massive shift in situation and perspective helped with the main evolution of the project," he says.
Speaking on his decision to go with prismatic 3D form, Mikey mentioned that the final decision came from exploring a few different options. "I was also looking at old computer adverts from the 80s, like ones from Apple, which quite often would use a rainbow of colours or over-the-top gradients that I really loved. The work of Art Director Nidia Dias is also inspiring to me too, her use of light and colour is fantastic!" he says.
"I really wanted to lean into the retro vibes of the visuals. I started with the music, heavily inspired by Mort Garson's Plantasia, by layering up a few soft synths. The sound design was mostly just an extension of that, using soft digitals noises to accentuate the motion of the characters. Mixed into that were some subtle glassy noises, taps on a wine glass and marbles dropping." The result is a short animation that compels you to watch over and over again, as you enjoy the clever transpositions of these shapes into familiar figures.

EU takes Hungary to ECJ over crackdown aimed at George Soros
The EU is taking Hungary to the European court of justice (ECJ) over Viktor Orbán's crackdown on political freedoms and a leading university, as Brussels steps up its fight to protect democratic values in central Europe.
Via: Jennifer Rankin
The Hungarian government was referred on Thursday to the court in relation to a higher education law that could force the closure of Central European University (CEU), founded by the billionaire George Soros, who has been the subject of a demonisation campaign by Hungary's prime minister.
The European commission said the legislation ran counter to academic freedom and the right to run a business under the EU's charter of fundamental rights.
Hungary is also being referred over a law that requires non-governmental organisations (NGOs) receiving foreign donations to label themselves as "supported from abroad".
Separately, Hungary, Poland and Czech Republic have been referred to the ECJ for refusing to take refugees under a mandatory quota system forced through by the EU at the height of the migration crisis in 2015.
The batch of announcements came as the commission published its monthly file of legal actions against member states breaking EU laws. The long list of violations ranges from Portugal's neglect of EU restrictions on single-use plastic bags to Italy's failure to ensure suppliers are paid on time.
But the cases against Hungary, Poland and Czech Republic are the most politically charged and likely to deepen the standoff between Brussels and some central European governments.
The commission said Hungary had refused to bring its higher education law into line with EU standards after a Brussels investigation launched in April.
CEU in Budapest has long been seen as a hostile bastion of liberalism by Orbán's rightwing government. Earlier this year, Soros accused the government of building a "mafia state" in Hungary.
Turning to the NGO law, the commission said "serious concerns had not been addressed" and the Hungarian government had missed a key deadline to respond to Brussels.
The law, which was passed in June, is reminiscent of Vladimir Putin's "foreign agent" law, which has squeezed civil society groups.
Hungarian NGOs receiving foreign funds greater than 7.2m Hungarian forints (£20,000) are required to register and put labels on their websites and publications declaring that they are organisations supported from abroad.
The commission said the legislation would have a stigmatising effect on recipients and donors, and discourage people from making donations.
Legally, the commission argues that it falls foul of the charter and the free movement of capital – one of the four freedoms that form the bedrock of the EU project.
Hungary's Viktor Orbán has turned on George Soros
The commission's decision to take three central European countries to court over refugee quotas will add to the poisonous mood. Poland and Hungary have refused to shelter anyone, while Czech Republic has taken in 12 people, but refused more since August 2016.
The ECJ has already thrown out a legal complaint by Hungary that contested the decision to disperse 120,000 refugees around the EU, with each country taking a quota, except the UK, which has an opt-out from this part of EU law.
Frans Timmermans, the first vice-president of the commission, said he had no choice but to refer these governments to court because the EU executive had to uphold EU law.
He warned that the three nations could pay an unspecified price in future, saying: "What goes around comes around."
Other member states would be asking "what does [refusal on quotas] mean for the solidarity we show to you in number of other areas", Timmermans added.
The referrals are likely to play into a simmering debate on whether countries backsliding on democratic standards, or flouting EU laws, should lose European funds. The European commissioner for justice, Vĕra Jourová, recently suggested the EU should consider "conditionality" that linked EU funds to upholding the rule of law.
Italy and Greece, the two countries on the frontline of the migration crisis, have called for member states that fail to adhere to the quota to lose the funds, which make up the lion's share of public investment in central Europe.
Jean-Claude Juncker, the commission president, has ruled out the idea, saying it would be "poison for the continent".

The Shi'a Crescent (Iran's Goal)
UI – Part 518 – The Shi'a Crescent
Soon after the Iranian revolution in 1979 the Ayatollah saw an opportunity to create a connection from Iran to Lebanon; picture in your mind the connection as a crescent. The crescent would consist of Shia operatives, militants, government officials, all Islamists, all Shiites. This umbrella would shade the Sunni Saudi Arabia and provide the greatest opportunity for the religious, hateful, zealots of Judaism, to eventually destroy Israel.
Soon After the Revolution
Shia clerics, more founded in the Koran than in military tactics or the operation of government agencies, suddenly assumed control of a country when the Shiite Islamists moved into the offices of power in Iran. What they knew about the functioning of a Country and caring for its people was only what they gathered from their intensive focus on the Scripture of Islam, with a Shia orientation. Providing electricity, clean water, picking up trash, keeping streets clean, overseeing health care providers, feeding the people, even insuring grocery store shelves were filled, and directing a military organization was just a guess. They could rely on government workers previously employed by the shah, but that was a problem; they had a concern for their self-preservation. Any suspicion of loyalty to the Peacock Throne over the Ayatollah was justification for heads to be severed, and thus ties to an understanding of the mechanics of providing for the needs of a population were also smote. Loyalty to Allah, the Messenger and the Ayatollah is what they knew, and punishment for lack of it was also what they knew. Killing dissidents, even if they were Muslim, they were not Muslim enough, or not of the 'true Islam' as defined by the Khomeini cabal, was justified by Allah and Ayatollah.
Military commanders were all suspects, as prior to the ideological Quran loyalists, none of which were military, militant yes, military no, the army's generals in Iran reported up channel to the Shah. They were considered evil first and not-to-be-trusted second, but needed nevertheless. The clerics kept their beheading swords behind their backs on the ready at any indication, even suspicion, of lack of trust. The people themselves were all expendable, life not as important as Allah's domain.
Soon after the Revolution Iran's neighbor seized on a perceived opportunity to attack. Saddam Hussein, another Muslim megalomaniac, a well trained enforcer, felt he could unite the Arab world and skirmishes along the border between Iran and Iraq were on-going by the end of 1979. A plan was in place to invade Iran. The Iraqi's however were not that adept at fully executing their battles, not always establishing proper objectives, lumbering about Northern Iran without a defined end game. Often the Iraq army halted its progress to await further instructions that did not arrive.
Although disorganized, Iraq's delays, some referring to Saddam's tactics as 'timid,' gave the new Iranian revolutionaries time to prepare. The United States was either credited or blamed for events taking place, having nothing to do with events taking place. The Muslims always need someone to blame. America was as surprised as anyone at the attacks. It is interesting to note that while all this was transpiring American hostages were still being held at the US Embassy in Tehran. The Khomeini saw this invasion as a way to gain support from the people of Iran, an opportunity so to speak, while at the same time extirpating his domestic opposition. The Prussian 19th century general, Carl Philipp Gottfried (or Gottlieb) von Clausewitz, a warrior and skilled military man, could have been a guide through his writings to the Iranian clerics, but his books were not the Quran. He is, though, quoted as saying, "War is the continuation of politics by other means." This certainly remains true. After a 300 armored tank division counterattack got bogged down in mud with limited success and a loss of two-thirds of their equipment, the amateurs turned to their new creation, the Revolutionary Guard.
Iran's Revolutionary Guard
The Guard was initially formed to provide security for the new Islamic Republic's insecure overseers. They feared the people and the possibility of an American invasion, a coup, to reinstate the Shah. Enemies, foreign and domestic, had to be kept away. The Iran clerics decided the use of people, masses of people, wave after wave, despite the potential for massive loses, to counter Iraq's offensive. The value of life, the millions of citizens of Iran, was unimportant; these were just useful attack animals. Recruits came from the significant population of poor Shiites, appealing to their religion, but also offering pay and benefits. Minefields were cleared as human remains piled up. Untrained, unknowing, conscripts were sacrificed and the counteroffensive continued, until halted by inadequate logistics resulting in shortages of supplies and mechanized forces. David Crist writes, his book, The Twilight War: The Secret History of America's Thirty-Year Conflict with Iran, "Faith in God (Allah) and a commitment to spread the revolution would overcome Western weapons, tactics, and training. The human cost was immaterial, even encouraged in a society that prized martyrdom" (pg 93/642 ebook). Iraq fired scuds into Iran; Iran responded with hoards of humans charging the Iraqi's.
During the years the Revolutionary Guard was in its formative stages the human onslaught, horrific as to losses as it was, proved effective. Overtime the clerics, and many trained officers of the military and the Guard, began to understand better proper military tactics, the proper use of their weaponry, and succeed with decreased loss of life. However it must be noted that from aircraft, to tanks, to other military equipment, Iran's military force was often handicapped by a lack of replacement parts and properly trained personnel to repair needed equipment.
But the Khomeini was intent on a victory. He was also focused on Jerusalem. He envisioned conquest of the land arch, or bridge, from Iran thru Iraq, Syria and into Lebanon as a worthy objective and a proper plan to satisfy Allah. It would be a divine victory.
Although dedicated to overthrowing the Ba'ath party and Saddam, Khomeini was not successful during his lifetime. The Khomeini died in June, 1989. The Iraq-Iran War (1980-1988)(The Gulf War) lasted from the end of the Jimmy Carter Presidency through the Reagan Presidency. The American hostages were released at the time of Reagan's inauguration. Khomeini never gave up trying to have the Iraqi Shiites revolt against Saddam. Saddam was not successful in taking advantage of a naive leadership and Iran after the Revolution. A mess with Iran receiving little outside support, while Iraq had a few countries on their side. But, the use of chemical weapons by Iraq caused any supporters on their side to question intensions. The UN eventually brokered a ceasefire. Over a million people lost lives during this war. Saddam actively reduced the number of Shia's in Iraq.
Borders were settled and prisoners of war were exchanged, some though not released for 15 years. Iran declared at the end a victory.
Subsequent supreme leaders of Iran were to stay loyal to the ideology of Khomeini. Iran descended into a weaker country as many of the most educated and skilled emigrated elsewhere. Sharia Law was put into effect and enforced; women were required to wear head coverings and men were not allowed to wear shorts. Iran moved backward more than forward, but remained a military might with a plan to unite the Muslim world. Shia would be the preferred interpretation of 'true' Islam.
American Administrations
Moving the clock forward to the Obama Presidential era, relations with Iran (and America) did not improve even though Obama made many attempts at appeasement. He was a dove and the Islamists regard doves as weak. He tried diligently never realizing, as Churchill did when dealing with Hitler, "When will the lesson be learned! You cannot reason with a tiger when your head is in its mouth!"
The nuclear deal, Obama's want for his Legacy, to stop Iran's development of a nuclear weapon, lifted sanctions and provided billions of dollars to Iran and the Ayatollah. The money was used to further Iran's military ambitions, leaving the residents of Iran none better. The nuclear deal only curtailed development for 15 years, at which time Iran could continue its efforts. It did not stop Iran from furthering its missile delivery program. Iran is also today a major source of needed funds to North Korea, which many believe provides Iran with military parts as well as continues to have a nuclear weapons program of its own. Is that program indirectly a cooperative effort with Iran, outside the boundaries of the nuke agreement? Iran has also used money received to purchase large Boeing aircraft that now transports Revolutionary Guards and training staff to Damascus, Syria. Iran continues to aide Hezbollah (Lebanon), supports Shiite Islamists in Iraq as well as Hamas (Palestine). The objective of the Ayatollah Khomeini to create a Shia Crescent thus continues, more progress made now than at the end of the Iraq-Iran Gulf War. With the help of Obama, his Democratic cronies, some deceptive actions to ignore Hezbollah's drug dealing in the USA for needed financing (so as not to upset the Iranian mullahs), Iran's 'patience' was paying off.
Obama's Administration (2009-2016) enabled Iran to vie more capably for hegemony in the middle East, in direct conflict with Sunni Saudi Arabia. The Shi'a Crescent was coming together. Efforts to increase militancy in Yemen by Shiite affiliates, the Houti's, is apparently part of Iran's plan as well, thus surrounding their Sunni adversary.
It was not just Obama, however. During the Reagan Administration (1981-1988) America allowed Iran's navy to grow attacking ships in the Persian Sea using armed aircraft as well as mines. While fighting Iraq, America supporting Iraq, Reagan surreptitiously sold military equipment to Iran, via Israel, at high prices, using the excess over cost to fund arms to the Nicaraguan Contras. Oliver North was the intermediary. The Iran-Contra affair was a distinct error and black mark on the Presidency of Reagan. Reagan also was duped by an arms agent claiming to be close to the Iranian mullahs attempting to sell arms to Iran in exchange for American captives. The habit of Islamists to take hostages for ransom continues. America, since the time of Thomas Jefferson, declared we would not pay ransom for hostages, even by terrorists, but the soft heart of Reagan blinded him to the lies of the agent as well as the lies (takiyya) of the Iranian Ayatollah in an effort to bring our citizens home. Not once, twice, but more than three times Iran wanted more and more, to turn over but one, maybe two hostages. The agent was not completely honest, and we knew it. William Buckley (CIA station chief in Lebanon – 1985), a captive in Lebanon by Iranian surrogates, was thought to be alive, as negotiations and sales continued. But he died months prior, tortured in captivity and lacking proper medical care.
Iran remains intent on establishing Shiite influence across the region. Hegemony in the Middle East by Iran is the obvious objective. Since the 1979 Revolution when the Carter Administration (1977-1980) dropped the ball, never understanding Islam, or properly considering the outcome that resulted, Iran has used the military might that we provided the Shah, to make inroads and establish forces. American Administrations have enabled, facilitated, and made possible continued strengthening of Iran as an aggressor as well as a harbor for terrorists, all Islamic, and all intent on the murder of Jews, Christians, as well as the downfall of Israel and the Great Satan America. How ignorant could we have been, or can we be? There were occasions when we even provided additional military power and replacement parts to keep Iran strong. We have experienced American supplied weaponry attacking our own forces. There were staff members, advisers in Presidential Adminstrations, such as Brzezinski, Alexander Haig, and others that wanted a strong response or overthrow of the wrongly placed Khomeini and a theocracy for Iran. They were met with resistance by doves, like Cyrus Vance, and Iran was never attacked, in fact became stronger as the years went by.
Efforts to improve relations between Iran and America after the Revolution were met with derision, lies, and my guess, laughter, on the part of the inept Mullahs. We made them smarter than they really were. Iran was an easy target to be destroyed and restore a civil society for the residents of Iran, but as time passed they became a stronger theocracy, a militant army for the shiite Allah, and we all too often were facilitators.
The Shi'a Crescent
Understand Islam
As I have often repeated, Understand Islam, whether it is Sunni, Shiite, and in many cases off-shoots of either, mostly Sunni generally; the world, the free world, must beware of the intention of the Islamics and a world All for Allah. They are patient and will continue to press their wants as long as it takes. Human life is not as important as achieving a unified world for Allah. They proselytize by murder. Inherent in such a world is Sharia Law and the restrictions imposed that limit freedoms, regard women as chattel, serve up protections and advantages for Muslim men, have habits that use the young in ways referred to as pedophilia, live by their example Muhammad, and rely upon Allah more than human achievement. The All for Allah world would be a return to the 7th century, people living in tents, in clans and tribes, battling neighbors frequently to better their lives, until they in turn are overcome by another Muslim, a Saladin of the Day.
If the Shi'a Crescent succeeds, it will not stop in Jerusalem. It will spread, as it has already begun, moving each day deeper into the free world. Japan and China today resist, and may be the only survivors to carry on, but not without a world battle at their borders.

It is important to remember the soldiers just as our troops are returning home in July, and Black Watchpaints their emotional landscape with deep empathy. The youthfulness of the new recruits, like the real soldiers the actors are portraying, lends a heart breaking, fresh realism to the show, which, five years after its premiere in Edinburgh, has become a modern classic.
But if Black Watch felt searingly topical when it first came to St. Ann's, it now seems timeless, as fully realized, self-contained works of art must be.
…more likely than ever to break your heart.

🎆 2022 was filled with progress and optimistic news
Don't be fooled by all the misery in the regular news feed. 2022 was filled with positive events. Animals making a comeback, AI breakthroughs, plastic being cleared from the oceans, smarter children, and many climate entrepreneurs.

Do you want fact-based optimistic news in your inbox every Thursday? Subscribe to our free newsletter.
If you ask someone what happened in 2022, most people answer "the war in Ukraine". It's also the first thing that pops into mind for me. But when I scrolled through all the optimistic news we published this past year, a completely different, much brighter picture emerged.
All the positives that happened do not negate the horrors of Ukraine or other miseries around the world, but it does show that we should not only fixate on the negatives. That's only part of the story.
Animals making a comeback
A strong trend is all the different animal species making a comeback. Humpback whales, sea turtles, black bears, alligators, and storks.
🐻 Five species that have recovered from near extinction
These five animal species have been on the brink of extinction but have made a booming comeback.
Warp NewsLinn Winge
Tigers in Nepal are no longer on the verge of extinction and are joined by cheetahs.
50 years ago there were less than 100 Indian rhinos in the wild. At this year's count, there were over 4,000.
Also in Europe, things are looking bright for several species. Many large mammals have increased by hundreds and in some cases thousands of percent in the last 60 years.
🐂 European wildlife sees strong comeback
Many large mammals have increased by hundreds and in some cases thousands of percent in the last 60 years.
Dramatic changes take time
Traditional news media often miss the very biggest stories because they take time. Like that 415 million Indians have left poverty in the last 15 years. That's about the same number of people living in the entire EU.
In India, a lot of rice is eaten, so the fact that a research group succeeded in creating a super rice that managed to increase the yield by 40 percent, is good news.
Or that the number of fatal accidents among Swedish children has halved in the last 30 years.
We learned in April that fewer people died in natural disasters in 2021. In 2021, a total of 10,492 people died due to natural disasters. That is well below the 61,212 deaths per year that was the average from 2001 to 2020.
For the tenth year in a row, the Swedes broke records in recycling.
AI for the benefit of humanity
Artificial intelligence has (again) had a strong year. Recently, OpenAI released its chatbot ChatGPT, which took the world by storm. In five days it reached one million users. Something that took Facebook 10 months and Instagram almost three months. For me, it was like when I searched and played songs on Spotify for the first time. I could hardly believe it was true.
Now I asked it to write a speech about optimism in the same style as Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, and three seconds later it spited this out.
Before ChatGPT, however, it was AI that creates images that got the most attention. It allows millions of people to become artists.
💡 Optimist's Edge: You can also be an artist – with the help of an AI
💡 AI painting upends creative boundaries by empowering anyone to create art that previously required the skill of professional artists.
Warp NewsUlrika Gerth
In 2022, we also saw computer programs that can see what reading difficulties a child has.
DeepMind has been stacking AI breakthroughs on top of each other and 2022 was no exception. Among other things, by helping to read ancient texts, programming, writing scripts for theater plays and films, playing Stratego and Diplomacy, helping mathematicians develop algorithms, and facial recognition for turtles(!)
But heaviest of all is an earlier breakthrough, the mapping of proteins. Last year, a tool was released that makes it possible to understand what a protein looks like. Something that previously needed to be done in a lab at great expense, for a single protein. Now DeepMind has mapped 200 million proteins. These are almost all cataloged proteins known to science.
Cleaning oceans and beaches from plastic
Boyan Slat is the name of the teenager who, on holiday in Greece, saw how the ocean was destroyed by plastic and decided to fix it. Ten years later, his solar-powered barges prevent 50 tons of plastic per day from reaching the sea, by intercepting and capturing it in the rivers. Out at sea, his shisp picks up the plastic that still made it all the way there.
🚢 Solar-powered barges can capture 50 tons of plastic from rivers each day
The Ocean Cleanup has come up with a novel solution to stop plastic entering our oceans via rivers - a solar-powered barge which uses curved barriers to catch waste floating downstream.
In Australia, plastic litter on beaches has decreased by almost a third.
Exciting new vaccines
Researchers from the University of Oxford have tested a malaria vaccine that works so well that there is the hope of completely stopping malaria from spreading. It would then save the lives of 400,000 people, mostly children, every year around the world.
Work is also underway on a vaccine against HIV based on the new mRNA technology.
The kids will be alright
Children who play more computer games than average also increase their IQ scores more than other children.
🎮 Computer games can make children smarter
Children who play more computer games than average also increase their IQ score more than other children.
During the pandemic, there was a lot of concern about young people's mental health, but no deterioration has been noted among young adults, according to the Institute for Future Studies.
Nor do they, or anyone else, risk getting brain tumors from cell phones, according to a large 20-year study.
Tough times for serial killers
Some who do not look optimistically to the future are serial killers. Considering all the podcasts, TV shows, and movies about these horrible people, you'd easily think the number is on the rise. But no.
In fact, serial killers are dying out. In the last 30 years, they have decreased by over 80 percent.
Heavy arguments for optimism
Enough about the world, time for some navel-gazing. The most-read article of the year on Warp News was actually published last year. Wired's founder, Kevin Kelly, wrote The Case for Optimism.
💡 Kevin Kelly: The Case for Optimism
Kevin Kelly is the founder of Wired Magazine and author of several books, among them The Inevitable. For Warp News he presents his case for optimism.
Warp NewsKevin Kelly
For TED, he made a shorter version, which now has over two million views.
"We should be optimistic, not because our problems are smaller than we thought, but because our capacity to solve them is larger than we thought."
- Kevin Kelly
This year he was joined by an intellectual giant, David Deutsch. He is a professor at Oxford and the father of the field of quantum computing. His book The Beginning of Infinity is one of the two best books I have read and contains strong intellectual arguments for optimism and why the future should come sooner.
For Warp News, he wrote about optimism, cynicism, and pessimism.
💡 David Deutsch: Optimism, Pessimism and Cynicism
With so much progress in the world, how can pessimism still be widespread? It is because of cynicism, denying that "so-called-progress" is progress, argues David Deutsch, professor at Oxford University and one of the world's leading intellectuals on optimism.
Warp NewsDavid Deutsch
"Although they may have sometimes inspired others to think outside the conventional box, no wonderful discovery, invention, or idea is named after a cynic."
- David Deutsch
Optimist's Edge galore
During the year, we have published a new Optimist's Edge each week. That's the advantage fact-based optimists have when looking at the world.
Food of the future
There is a lot going on in the food area. Fruit and vegetables that do not need a plastic cover, sugar that is not so harmful, refined with CRISPR, and food from the air are produced. Or how about some milk without cows?
💡 Optimist's Edge: Milk without cows
A factory in Denmark can replace nine percent of Danish cows. Milk and other dairy products can be produced in bioreactors by precision in the fermentation process. Foodtech companies all over the world are now working hard to create a future where cows become redundant.
Warp NewsChristian von Essen
We have started to grow food in new ways too, vertically.
Space is becoming increasingly accessible
Launching things into space is getting cheaper so that it will soon cost a thousandth of what it did just a few years ago.
💡 Optimist's Edge: Launching into space will be 99.9% cheaper
💡 In just a few years, launching rockets into space will become 99.9 percent cheaper than today, opening up space like never before.
Warp NewsMathias Sundin
It makes space available for much more human activity, such as building large space colonies near Earth. Or why not a space parasol to reduce global warming, as our astronaut Christer Fuglesang suggested?
But more space also helps us solve problems on Earth.
Democracy is humanity's best hack
If all countries and all people lived in democracies, humanity's major problems would be solved or dramatically reduced.
💡 Optimist's Edge: The hack to solve all of humanity's major problems
If all countries and all people lived in democracies the major problems of humanity would be solved or be dramatically smaller.
For example, we would avoid famine and war.
Too bad to be true
The media logic is to think "that sounds too good to be true." But scrutiny should also take place from the other point of view: "That sounds too bad to be true."
Warp News has started a series of such articles, and the first two are written by former Dagens Nyheter (Sweden's largest daily newspaper) journalist and editor, Anders Bolling.
🌪 The unknown truth about the non-extreme extreme weather
The summer news drought always means a high season for weather news. We will hear that the weather has become increasingly more extreme. Few will ask the follow-up question: is it true? It's a shame, because the answer is essentially no.
Warp NewsAnders Bolling
🌡 This is how the UN's worst scenario was normalized and distorted our view of global warming
There is some really good news in last year's report from the UN climate panel IPCC: The horror scenario is no longer considered credible. We can forget the worst forecasts. But this bombshell of joy has been passed over with silence, not only in the media but also largely in the scientific world.
Climate and the environment are the most popular things we write about. Maybe because other media rarely write anything positive, while we show that there is hope.
The entire green transition creates enormous opportunities. We will live in a better world where we can travel more and cheaper, eat better and cheaper, and use electricity more and cheaper - and it will be clean and environmentally friendly.
💡 Optimist's Edge: Larger emissions mean greater opportunities
Investing in oil and gas will not pay off as much in the future. Still, people, in general, believe so. As the world shifts to more non-fossil energy sources, it is important to know which companies and areas are best to invest in.
During the year, we met several entrepreneurs involved in creating this green future.
Like Pernilla Westerberg who makes climate-friendly dog food from insects, William Bergh who creates a market for recycled electric car batteries, the renaissance man of nuclear power, John Ahlberg, as well as Fredrik Billing and Tore Stenbock who want to solve the hassle of charging the electric car.
👊 Pernilla Westergren makes dog food from insects: "I want to start a dog food revolution"
Pernilla Westergren changed careers from investment banking to selling dog food made from insects. That reduces the dogs climate paw prints and is also better for their health.
After talking to all these entrepreneurs, I felt that a wave of solutions is underway. "Nothing is happening" for the climate is heard time and time again, but it is not true. An incredible amount is happening.
🌊 A tsunami of climate solutions is on its way
At times it feels like very little progress is made to reduce climate change. Things have to be done faster. However, we will probably be surprised in 2035 how incredibly far we have come in reducing emissions. This is because a tsunami of climate solutions is on its way.
Visiting the future
During the year, our Warp Premium Supporters have visited companies involved in creating this green future several times. Like the electric aircraft company Heart Aerospace and the vertical farmer Ecobloom.
Exciting Premium Supporters
Premium Supporters are our paying members. Among these, there are many exciting people. Like Wall Street legend Jim O'Shaughnessy.
💰 Wall Street legend: "Pessimists sound smart – optimists make money"
Jim O'Shaughnessy is a legendary investor on Wall Street. He shares what he thinks is the biggest opportunity for the future and explains how the world is going through a great reshuffle.
And internet pioneer Jonas Birgersson.
🔌 Jonas Birgersson: "All the electricity you need for a low, fixed fee"
Jonas Birgersson became an internet pioneer by promising and delivering all the internet you need for $20 a month. Now he believes that the same thing can be done with electricity. "For a low, fixed price, you have all the electricity you need."
Energy in abundance with the energy society
Together with Jonas Birgersson, we have started Project Energy Society. We want to reach a society where clean energy is so abundant that it is not even worth measuring consumption.
In energy, we find one of the biggest and most optimistic events of the year: The breakthrough for nuclear fusion.
For the first time, scientists have succeeded in creating a fusion process that produced more energy than was used to power it.
⚡ Nuclear fusion breakthrough: More energy out than in
For the first time in history, scientists have managed to produce more energy from nuclear fusion than what was required for the lasers to drive it.
Warp News in other media
During the year, we have been seen here and there in other media. Here are some examples. A lot of Swedish media, but also some international.
Gerd Leonhard who has started The Good Future Project invited me to a discussion about why optimists create the future.
Tea and freedom.
If you follow the usual news coverage, it can feel pitch black. "We live in troubled times" is repeated like a mantra. The problems are real and serious, but so are the opportunities. While terrible things are happening in Ukraine, the world is improving in many ways.
The world becomes what we make of it, and no group has more influence the future than the optimists.

Posted July 27, 2018 by Dr. Glenn Norton & filed under General Dental Articles, Oral Health, Prevention.
Before your first visit with your dentist in Evansville you'll probably be asked to fill out a medical history form. But why does a doctor who's looking at your oral health need to know all about your overall health? The truth is, there is a strong connection between the two and the more your dental team knows, the more customized your treatment can be.
Our dental office in Evansville may also ask for a list of any prescriptions or over-the-counter medications you're currently taking. Many medications can cause dry mouth, which puts you at greater risk for cavities. While cavities are easily treated when they're caught early, if they're left alone they can lead to bigger problems such as the need for a root canal or even so much as losing the tooth. It's also important for us to know about any medications you take in case we need to prescribe you anything, that way we can be sure it's not going to negatively affect or interact with your existing medicine.
While it's normal and necessary to collect health history at your first visit to any doctor, you may never touch those forms again. But you should. Any time something changes with your health — if you have surgery, get diagnosed with a disease, are pregnant, or start a new medication — you should ask to update your medical history on file.
As with any medical information, your health history is also kept private and can't be shared with anyone without your permission. Rest assured that any information regarding your health is protected by HIPAA (The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act).

US Suspends Pakistan Military Aid as Diplomatic Relations Worsen
By Saeed Shah for The Guardian
The Pakistan military declared it did not need US military aid as the White House confirmed that it would withhold some $800m (£498m) in assistance to the country's armed forces.
The row will worsen the already poisonous relationship between the two "allies", which since the unilateral US raid to kill Osama bin Laden in May has lurched towards breakdown.
Pakistan recently expelled US military trainers from the country, limited the ability of US diplomats and other officials to get visas, and restricted CIA operations on its territory. "The Pakistani relationship is difficult but it must be made to work over time. But until we get through these difficulties we will hold back some of the money that the American taxpayers have committed to give them," William Daley, the White House chief-of-staff, told ABC News on Sunday.
At stake is Pakistani co-operation against al-Qaida, the Taliban and other extremist groups, which the increasingly bitter relationship is putting at risk. Much of al-Qaida's remaining leadership is believed to be hiding in Pakistan, while Pakistani territory is used as a safe haven by Afghan Taliban and the allied Haqqani network, fighting across the border in Afghanistan.
The new US defence secretary, Leon Panetta, said over the weekend that he believed Bin Laden's successor, Ayman al-Zawahiri, was in Pakistan's tribal area and "he's one of those we would like to see the Pakistanis target". Pakistan responded by asking for the US to share the intelligence on Zawahiri's whereabouts.
Nuclear-armed Pakistan is meanwhile fighting its home-grown extremists in the tribal area on the border with Afghanistan, where a new offensive was launched earlier this month. Major General Athar Abbas, the chief spokesman for the Pakistan military, said that the military had received no formal notification of any aid being cut. He also pointed out that the army chief, General Ashfaq Kayani, had already declared that cash reimbursements to the military, known as coalition support funds, should go instead to the civilian government, where there was more need.
"We have conducted our [anti-extremist] military operations without external support or assistance," said Abbas. "Reports coming out of the US are aimed at undermining the authority of our military organisations."
Critical stories about Pakistan are leaked on an almost daily basis to the American press, riling Pakistani public and official opinion against Washington. Many in Pakistan believe there is a concerted American effort to weaken Pakistan and its armed forces, which are some of the largest in the world.
For Washington, Pakistan's refusal to launch an offensive against the Haqqani network and suspicions that Bin Laden benefited from some kind of official support to live in Pakistan has corroded ties.
There are also questions hanging over future civilian aid, which is meant to provide $1.5bn a year in economic help.
Cyril Almeida, a columnist with Pakistan's Dawn newspaper, said the country was in danger of becoming internationally isolated, while US policy towards Pakistan was muddled.
"The US can't decide they if they want to stay in this relationship or cut Pakistan off," he said. "These leaks and pressure tactics just confirm to the army generals the view that America is no friend of Pakistan and it wishes Pakistan harm."
Since 2001, the US has provided $21bn in civilian and military assistance, including $4.5bn in the 2010-2011 financial year, as aid was increased under the Obama administration. Two proposed bills in Congress over the last week, which were voted down, would have cut off aid to Pakistan altogether.
Pakistan's economy is spiralling downwards, with electricity shortages shutting down industry, and rising food and fuel prices causing protests on the streets. Karachi, the country's economic powerhouse, is often shut down by ethnic gang violence, which has claimed more than 100 lives in the current spate of bloodshed.

New U.S. Ambassador to Pakistan Delivers Flood Relief
By Gunnery Sgt Bryce Piper for The Defense Video & Imagery Distribution Sysem
U.S. Ambassador to Pakistan Cameron P. Munter distributed flood relief supplies today at a World Food Program distribution point at Hassan Khan Jamali, Pakistan.
As the newly-appointed ambassador, Munter participated in the operation to see and participate in the Pakistan and U.S. military flood relief efforts conducted in Sindh province.
"It is an honor to have the chance to work with the Pakistani military and the American military together, who are working to help the Pakistani people," said Munter. "This is a place that I think all of us will remember as a symbol and as a reality of our cooperation, what we can do when we work together, when we face problems together. And I'm very, very grateful to the Pakistanis and Americans who've done all this work."
Munter arrived at the Pakistan military's Pano Aqil Cantonment in the afternoon and then flew to the Hassan Khan Jamali relief site where he and a team of Pakistani and U.S. military members unloaded approximately four tons of food aid from two helicopters. Pakistanis waiting at the site collected the humanitarian supplies for distribution in the surrounding area.
This was the ambassador's first trip to flood-affected areas of Sindh since arriving in Pakistan Oct. 27.
In addition to delivering food aid, Munter and his wife Marilyn Wyatt had an opportunity to meet with local flood victims. The couple flew to Hassan Khan Jamali aboard a U.S. CH-53E Super Stallion helicopter of the 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit. 26th and 15th MEUs have been conducting humanitarian relief efforts from Pano Aqil Cantonment since Sept. 3, 2010.
The Marines there have delivered more than 3.7 million pounds (over 1.6 kilograms) of food and other supplies to more than 150 locations throughout Sindh Province, flying more than 450 heavy-lift helicopter sorties.
Since Aug. 5, 2010, U.S. military aircraft and personnel, working shoulder-to-shoulder with the Pakistan military, have provided humanitarian airlift for the delivery of more than 20 million pounds (over 9 million kilograms) of relief supplies and the transport of more than 27,000 displaced persons throughout Pakistan.
In addition to humanitarian airlift, the U.S. Government is providing more than $398 million to assist Pakistan with relief and recovery efforts, while USAID and other U.S. civilian agencies continue to provide assistance to flood victims.
U.S. efforts are part of a multi-national humanitarian assistance and support effort lead by the Pakistani government to bring aid to flood victims.

What is Wikileaks?
By Jonathan Fildes for The BBC News
Whistle-blowing website Wikileaks is once again at the centre of attention as it makes public more than 90,000 secret records of incidents and intelligence reports from the US military about the war in Afghanistan. It is the latest in a long list of "leaks" published by the secretive site, which has established a reputation for publishing sensitive material from governments and other high-profile organizations.
In April 2010, for example, it posted a video on its website that shows a US Apache helicopter killing at least 12 people – including two Reuters journalists – during an attack in Baghdad in 2007. A US military analyst is currently awaiting trial, on charges of leaking the material along with other sensitive military and diplomatic material.
In October 2009, it posted a list of names and addresses of people it claimed belonged to the British National Party (BNP). The BNP said the list was a "malicious forgery".
And during the 2008 US elections, it published screenshots of the e-mail inbox, pictures and address book of vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin.
Other controversial documents hosted on the site include a copy of the Standard Operating Procedures for Camp Delta, a document that detailed restrictions placed on prisoners at Guantanamo Bay. It provoked controversy when it first appeared on the net in December 2006 and still splits opinion. For some it is lauded as the future of investigative journalism. For others it is a risk.
In mid-March 2010 the site's director, Julian Assange, published a document purportedly from the US intelligence services, claiming that Wikileaks represented a "threat to the US Army". The US government later confirmed to the BBC that the documents were genuine. To keep our sources safe, we have had to spread assets, encrypt everything, and move telecommunications and people around the world" "The unauthorised publication of Army and DoD sensitive documents on Wikileaks provides foreign intelligence services access to information that they may use to harm Army and DoD interests," a spokesperson told BBC News.
The site now claims to host more than one million documents. Anyone can submit to Wikileaks anonymously, but a team of reviewers – volunteers from the mainstream press, journalists and Wikileaks staff – decides what is published. "We use advanced cryptographic techniques and legal techniques to protect sources," Mr Assange told the BBC in February.
The site says that it accepts "classified, censored or otherwise restricted material of political, diplomatic or ethical significance" but does not take "rumour, opinion or other kinds of first hand reporting or material that is already publicly available". "We specialise in allowing whistle-blowers and journalists who have been censored to get material out to the public," said Mr Assange.
It is operated by an organisation known as the Sunshine Press and claims to be "funded by human rights campaigners, investigative journalists, technologists and the general public". Since it appeared on the net, it has faced various legal challenges to take it offline.
In 2008, for example, the Swiss Bank Julius Baer won a court ruling to block the site after Wikileaks posted "several hundred" documents about its offshore activities. However, various "mirrors" of the site – hosted on different servers around the world – continued to operate. The order was eventually overturned Wikileaks claims to have fought off more than "100 legal attacks" in its life, in part because of what is described as its "bulletproof hosting" The site is primarily hosted by Swedish ISP PeRiQuito (PRQ), which became famous for hosting file-sharing website The Pirate Bay.
"If it is legal in Sweden, we will host it, and will keep it up regardless of any pressure to take it down," the ISP's site says. The site also hosts documents in other jurisdictions, including Belgium. Its experience of different laws around the world meant that it was drafted to help Icelandic MPs draw up plans for its Icelandic Modern Media Initiative (IMMI). The plan calls on the country's government to adopt laws protecting journalists and their sources.
"To keep our sources safe, we have had to spread assets, encrypt everything, and move telecommunications and people around the world to activate protective laws in different national jurisdictions," Mr Assange said at the time.
"We've become good at it, and never lost a case, or a source, but we can't expect everyone to go through the extraordinary efforts that we do." Despite its notoriety, the site has faced financial problems. In February, it suspended operations as it could not afford its own running costs. Donations from individuals and organisations saved the site.
Mr Assange told the BBC that the site had recently gone through "enormous growth" and had received an "extraordinary amount of material". "It exceeds our ability to get it out to [the] public at the moment," he said in February.
As a result, he said, the site was changing and hoped to set up a number of "independent chapters around the world" as well as to act as a middle-man between sources and newspapers. "We take care of the source and act as a neutral intermediary and then we also take care of the publication of the material whilst the journalist that has been communicated with takes care of the verification."
"It provides a natural… connection between a journalist and a source with us in the middle performing the function that we perform best." The latest documents – released in partnership with the New York Times, the Guardian and the German news magazine Der Spiegel – appear to be the first high-profile example of this new tactic.

Magnetic North Acquisition Corp. Announces Previcare in Receipt of Blanket Purchase Order for Up to $20.4 Million CAD of Compostable Medical Masks

**Not for distribution to United States Newswire Services or release publication, distribution or dissemination, directly or indirectly, in the United States. Any failure to comply with this restriction may constitute a violation of U.S. Securities Laws**
CALGARY, Alberta and TORONTO, Nov. 15, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Magnetic North Acquisition Corp. (TSXV: MNC; MNC.PR.A) ("Magnetic North" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that investee company, Previcare, Inc. ("Previcare"), and its partners have executed supply agreements and have received a blanket purchase order (the "Purchase Order") for ASTM Level-3 compostable medical face masks. This Purchase Order is expected to generate approximately $20.4 million CAD of revenues for Previcare over the next 12 months.
The Purchase Order was received from a major US-based supplier of Personal Protective Equipment ("PPE"). The initial term of the Purchase Order is for twelve months and provides for monthly revenue to Previcare of approximately $1.7 million CAD. The Purchase Order includes the ability to increase monthly orders, subject to certain conditions. Previcare expects first shipments to commence before the end of the 2021 calendar year.
Andrew Osis, Co-CEO of Magnetic North stated, "Environmental, Social and Governance ("ESG") performance is a top priority as Magnetic North continues to invest in technologies and innovations designed to improve performance and reduce negative impact on the environment. This Purchase Order is the first step of many we have been working on to facilitate the continuing development and value growth of Previcare. We are very pleased to work with the Previcare team to structure this deal and surface value for our shareholders."
Kevin Spall, Co-CEO of Magnetic North stated, "As outstretched demand for PPE has increased, we continue to face challenges related to the Covid-19 pandemic. An overwhelming task is how to address the disposal of face masks in an environmentally responsible way. This Purchase Order provides a compostable medical face mask solution with what we believe to be equivalent or better performance and filtration utility to standard synthetic masks, to address this unmet market need."
Recent reports estimate three million face masks each minute, or 129 billion (see link) face masks each month, are discarded or disposed of worldwide. With the vast majority of disposable face masks being made from plastic microfibers, scientists have warned that those masks can take up to 450 years to fully decompose (see link).
Spall added, "The Purchase Order is indicative of what we believe to be the significant demand from Previcare's customers for environmentally responsible medical grade masks that can start to compost in less than 90 days."
In order to meet the demand, Previcare and its partners plan to expand their current production capacity. Previcare advises it is targeting production and delivery capacity in excess of 100 million masks per month within the next twelve to 18 months.
As previously disclosed, Magnetic North owns a 32% equity stake in Previcare, a healthcare company focused on assisting its customers to protect themselves during and beyond the COVID-19 pandemic.

Judge signs plan, resolves Puerto Rico bankruptcy battle
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) — Puerto Rico's nearly five-year bankruptcy battle is ending after a federal judge on Tuesday signed a plan that slashes the U.S. territory's public debt load as part of a restructuring and allows the government to start repaying creditors. The plan marks the largest municipal debt restructuring in U.S. history and was approved following grueling bargaining efforts, heated hearings and multiple delays as the island struggles to recover from deadly hurricanes, earthquak
Australia has ruled out letting teenagers as young as 16 drive forklift trucks to tackle a shortage of workers in coronavirus-hit supply chains, as it scrambles to scoop up millions of home testing kits needed to keep businesses functioning. A sudden surge in coronavirus cases in recent weeks has seen hundreds of thousands of workers benched by illness or the need to isolate, leading states to quickly lower the isolation requirement to seven days. Prime Minister Scott Morrison had floated a proposal to lower the minimum age of forklift drivers from 18 to 16, seeking solutions for a shortage of workers now hobbling the economy.

This breakthrough filmessay explores the strange case of G.W.Pabst, the Austrian Film Director who was considered a giant of early cinema before his reputation went behind a cloud. The film takes us through his work with Garbo and Louise Brooks, and his making of such classics as "Pandora's Box", "The Joyless Street", and "The Threepenny Opera". But this is no ordinary film tribute. For "The Other Eye", Hannah Heer and Werner Schmiedel, have evolved a rich visual language new to the documentary field, using a elaborate color structure that reflects not only various moods but different periods of time. The film's jazzy style and sophisticated narration probes unflinchingly the controversy surrounding Pabst: What possessed this liberal, cosmopolitan filmmaker to return to Austria in 1939 and direct movies for the Third Reich?

Myles Stephenson's grandma 'waited to die until he finished I'm A Celeb so she could hear his voice one last time'
Rak-Su singer paid tribute to his Yaya in an emotional Instagram post, sharing a picture of them with their arms wrapped around each other
Brett Gibbons
Heartbroken I'm A Celebrity star Myles Stephenson has been left reeling by the death of his beloved grandmother.
The 89-year-old woman had waited until he came out of the jungle so she could hear his voice one more time, the tearful star told fans.
Rak-Su singer Myles paid tribute to his Yaya in an emotional Instagram post, sharing a picture of them with their arms wrapped around each other at one of their last meals together.
"89 years of life! Today you left this world but your spirit will NEVER leave our hearts! The life you had on earth was nothing short of phenomenal! 6 children, 10 grand children! Started In Jamaica and gave everyone the tools to conquer the world!" wrote Myles.

"The music I make will keep you dancing up there and my restaurant will be named after YOU down here.
"Ima continue to try make you proud day in day out in everything I do! Thank you for holding out on going to heaven till I got back from the Jungle!"
He added: "I knew you wouldn't leave without hearing my voice one last time! I'm not sure how I will deal with you being gone but I know you wouldn't want me to be alone and to spend it enjoying life! I love you to heaven and back! Rest In Love Yaya."
Dan Osborne issues Instagram statement after Jacqueline wins I'm A Celeb
Myles Stephenson 'nearly kills' I'm A Celebrity star in camp drama
It came after Myles claimed he found messages on ex-girfliend Gabby Allen's phone from Dan Osborne - husband of his I'm A Celeb campmate Jacqueline Jossa - long after they appeared in Celebrity Big Brother together.
He admitted the content of the messages "hurt" him and he confronted Gabby about it.
However, Myles, who had been due to switch on Christmas lights in West Bromwich with his band Rak-Su when he jetted to the jungle, decided to forgive her and move on with their relationship.
He told the Mail Online : "After I'd started seeing Gabby. I found some messages from Dan. I found the messages after Big Brother.
"I confronted Gabby about it, and kind of forgave her for what I saw and what I read, because that's the way I felt at the time. I wanted to forgive. People make mistakes – I've always said that...
"I found some messages that really hurt me."
During his jungle stint with Jac, Myles told her everything he knew about Dan's rumoured fling with Gabby.
His confessional resulted in Jac breaking down in camp and threatening to quit the show, with producers eventually allowing her to record a voice message for Dan demanding to know the truth.
Myles told Metro : "When we got a spare five minutes on the way to a trial we spoke about what I had read [in Gabby's messages] and that was it.
(Image: ITV/REX/Shutterstock)
"I'd found messages when me and Gabby were together.
"She listened to what I'd read and she took it on board and she moved on from it. So I'm glad she took it in and made a decision on what she wanted to do."
He added: "I didn't want to tell Jacqueline, she confronted me about it - but if I was going to tell Jac I didn't want it to be on air.
"And that's what made me disappointed in what Gabby did because I genuinely said this off-air for Jacqueline to deal with behind closed doors, in privacy."
