New evidence shows a Nunes aide in close conversation with Parnas
Lev Parnas following a December court appearance in New York City. | Stephanie Keith/Getty Images Rep. Devin Nunes denies involvement in the Ukrainian scandal. New texts between his top aide and Lev Parnas say otherwise. The House Intelligence Committee released a new trove of evidence on Friday that appears to show extensive contact between the top aide for House Intelligence Committee Ranking Member Devin Nunes (R-CA) and Lev Parnas, a former Rudy Giuliani ally and a key figure in the Ukraine scandal. Following his arrest on campaign finance violation charges, Parnas began providing the committee with a body of notes, photographs, and cellphone data as part of President Donald Trump's impeachment proceedings. These documents have been made public in tranches; earlier releases further defined Giuliani's role in the push for a Ukrainian investigation into Joe Biden, and included messages that seemed to suggest a Republican congressional candidate had former US ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch under surveillance. Parnas has mounted a concerted push to shed light on outstanding questions related to the president's pressure campaign — which sought to trade first a White House meeting, and later critical military aid for an investigation into Biden, his son Hunter, and the Democratic Party — in recent days. Wednesday, he appeared on MSNBC to claim Trump knew "exactly what was going on" with respect to Giuliani's efforts to advance a Biden investigation, and claiming that Vice President Pence and Attorney General William Barr were involved as well. Parnas claimed last November that Nunes was also party to the pressure campaign, and that he'd worked with one of the lawmaker's top aides, former White House official Derek Harvey, to keep the congressman in the loop about the progress of the quid pro quo scheme. The messages released Friday would seem to support these allegations, and to suggest Nunes, who was a vocal defender of Trump throughout last year's impeachment inquiry hearings, may have been more involved in the administration's efforts in Ukraine than he's admitted to — despite his consistent denials about having any real role in the scandal. Messages between Harvey and Nunes show meetings at a Trump hotel, and coordination on witness interviews A string of messages between Parnas and Harvey from April 17 to 19, 2019 show the two men trying to set up interviews with Ukrainian officials such as disgraced former prosecutor Viktor Shokin, a Biden critic who was fired at the request of a number of Western governments, and Yuri Lutsenko, who asked for Yovanovitch to be fired in exchange for dirt on Burisma or Biden, according to recent documents released from the House Intelligence Committee. Harvey and Parnas worked closely together to plan out the logistics of the interviews: after informing Parnas about prepping a Nunes staff lawyer, Harvey asks for "suggested lines of questions" and the "full names of who we will interview." Parnas responds that he will put both together. After two days, however, Harvey puts a halt on the interview process and says they would be "best served by sending the official letter and receiving documentation before any more interviews." A number of letters were eventually sent to Ukrainian officials, including a letter Giuliani sent to then President-elect Volodymyr Zelensky in May in which he requested a meeting. By the time that letter was sent, Giuliani had begun to publicly state he planned to dig up dirt on Joe Biden in Ukraine. In addition to the coordination with the interviews, the messages also appear to show Harvey meeting Parnas at the Trump hotel in Washington, DC, and taking part in private meetings with Giuliani and conservative journalist John Solomon, whose work (some of it based on recanted information) helped convince Trump of the veracity conspiracy theories featuring Ukraine, Democrats, and Joe Biden. Parnas claimed last year that Harvey took part in these meetings, and the messages do seem to place him there. Nunes's aide also passed along the lawmaker's contact information to Parnas on April 10 — two days before House records show that the two talked for eight minutes on the phone, according to NBC News. All of this aligns with what Parnas has said so far: he told MSNBC's Rachel Maddow on Wednesday night that he had met Nunes several times and that the congressman worked with Harvey to dig up dirt on Biden. He had also said he was surprised to see Nunes as a leader in the impeachment inquiry because "he knew very well that he knew what was going on." Nunes, who had denied any knowledge about his phone call with Parnas, appeared on Fox News on Thursday to say that he remembered having and "odd" and "random" phone call with Parnas, according to The Daily Beast. He'd initially claimed he hadn't spoken to Parnas, then that he'd actually talked with the fixer's wife. Now Nunes claims he did speak to Parnas, but that he quickly pushed him off on his staff, "which is normal, standard operating procedure." Overall, however, Nunes still denies working with Parnas for Trump's political gain. This, however, is a position he might not be able to maintain for much longer, especially as Parnas becomes more vocal in the impeachment process. The close associate of Giuliani was essential in connecting US officials with Ukrainian sources, and thus has a lot to tell. It is true that Parnas's credibility is somewhat in question, but he has been able to produce evidence that seems to support his version of events. And given his indictment, he has reason to cooperate with officials in order to demonstrate that regardless of his guilt or innocence in that case, that he is someone who now operates with the truth and public good in mind. These new texts make it harder for Nunes to deny his involvement in the Ukraine scandal — but he's still trying Despite increasing evidence to the contrary, Nunes, still denies having any contact with Ukrainian officials or working to dig up dirt on Trump's political rivals. To make his point clear, he even sued CNN for $435 million for publishing a story that he met with Shokin in search of damaging information on Biden — a report he described as a "demonstrably false hit piece." For his part, Parnas has claimed Nunes met with Shokin in Vienna in December 2018. Last December, Nunes threatened to sue fellow congressman Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA), who alleged last year that Nunes was working with Parnas on Ukrainian matters, stating that he had an "'absolute' right to an unimpaired reputation." Lieu posted the threat from Nunes along with his own response dated Thursday: "It is true that I stated Congressman Nunes worked with Lev Parnas and conspired to undermine our own government." Attached is the first page of a five page letter in which the lawyer for @DevinNunes threatens that Rep Nunes will sue me.Attached is my response. pic.twitter.com/bWAqdRhq97— Ted Lieu (@tedlieu) January 17, 2020 "I welcome any lawsuit from your client and look forward to taking discovery of Congressman Nunes," Liu continued. "Or, you can take your letter and shove it." Lieu pointed to Parnas's interview with Maddow as proof of Giuliani's former associate's relationship with Nunes. Parnas told Maddow Wednesday night that he was shocked to see Nunes deny Trump's efforts to dig up dirt on his political rivals in Ukraine because he was "involved in getting all this stuff on Biden," according to MSNBC. "[I]t's hard to see them lie like that," Parnas said, speaking of Nunes's work in the impeachment inquiry hearings. "It's scary because, you know, he was sitting there and making all statements and all that when he knew very well that he knew what was going on. He knew what's happening. He knows who I am." Nunes has already faced one ethics investigation in recent years, and questions of his involvement in Trump's Ukraine scheme could lead to another. Some of his colleagues, including Democratic Rep. Adam Smith, have called for officials to take a closer look at Parnas's allegations. Whether an investigation is launched remains to be seen, but Parnas has signaled he has no plans to stop talking about his ties to Nunes — and the release of Friday's evidence will only complicate Nunes's efforts to distance himself from the affair. Friday's release further defines Giuliani and Parnas' relationship Beyond the Parnas-Harvey communications, the new documents also contain messages between Giuliani and Parnas that appear to affirm the closeness of their relationship — Parnas tells Giuliani in one exchange, "Just need to talk to you before I go to sleep by brother" — and that show Giuliani helping to connect Parnas to John Dowd, a former lawyer for the president. Too, they contain a number of photos that attempt to link Parnas to both Giuliani and Trump; they include pictures of Giuliani golfing and riding a boat, as well as photos of Parnas with the president and with his son, Donald Trump, Jr. President Trump has claimed in the past that he doesn't know Parnas, and dismissed pictures of the two together as quick photo ops, saying on Thursday he poses with "thousands of people including today that I didn't meet." "I don't know who this man is," Trump said. "Oftentimes I'll be taking a picture with somebody and say, I wonder what newspaper that one will appear in. I don't know him. Perhaps he's a fine man. Perhaps he's not. I know nothing about him." Parnas has argued the sheer number of photos he has with Trump — including of pictures of them sitting together at events — tells a different story. And he told CNN he has many pictures with the president he has yet to share, saying of Trump's denials: "I welcome him to say that even more. Every time he says that I'll show him another picture. He's lying." Finally, the documents have raised new questions about Yovanovitch The first tranche of documents revealed a Republican congressional candidate named Robert Hyde was in contact with Parnas about former US ambassador to the Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch. Hyde told Parnas he'd placed Yovanovitch — who was told she was recalled from Ukraine for her "security" — under surveillance. Screenshots from WhatsApp conversations Hyde had with an individual with a Belgian phone number included in the latest release have shed a bit more light on those claims. NBC has identified that individual as Anthony de Caluwe, based on the digits visible in their phone number, their WhatsApp profile picture, and conversations with Hyde. Hyde has also claimed on Twitter the Belgian number belongs to de Caluwe. De Caluwe told NBC Hyde contacted him, but that he refused to help him. The screenshots show a conversation that mirrors messages released earlier in the week that suggest Hyde had Yovanovitch under surveillance, and that those who were watching her had the capacity to do her bodily harm. It would appear that Hyde copied and pasted some of the messages he received from the Belgian number in his conversation with Parnas, including two that read "It's confirmed we have a person inside" and "Hey broski tell me what we are doing what's the next step." These would seem to suggest that Hyde — or his associate with the Belgian number — had some sort of asset within the US embassy, and that this surveillance was being guided by Parnas or Giuliani. Parnas has said he did not direct any sort of surveillance operation — and the records released so far show that he did not respond to these messages. He has also said he believed Hyde to be bluffing about the surveillance, calling him a "a weird individual" who is constantly drunk. Hyde has pushed back against the messages as well, claiming he was "absolutely not" threatening Yovanovitch. In a Twitter video Friday, Hyde called the messages "just copy and paste bullshit from some intel guy — probably that was fucking with me." Nevertheless, Ukrainian officials have opened an investigation into the matter, and Friday, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said the US would also investigate the matter.

The Fusion of Special and Cyber Forces Makes Sense
Emilio Iasiello 2023-01-17
Emilio Iasiello
There is increasing focus for U.S. Cyber Command (CYBERCOM) to try and replicate the ability of the U.S. Special Operations Command (SOCOM) – the unified combatant command with the mission of overseeing the special operations elements in the U.S. Armed Services – to bring capabilities directly into the battlespace. At a recent meeting, the chief of CYBEROM is quoted as saying that the command is "trying to build our authorities much in the same way Special Operations Command did this." Indeed, per Politico, an unnamed Congressional aide confirmed that CYBERCOM's evolution has been modeled on the same "legislative techniques" used for SOCOM. The concept sounds reasonable, particularly as the conflicts being fought are moving to more agile, and quick operations. And as one author points out, both commands are able to pull from their existing capabilities, along with space, to fuse cooperation best suited to the needs of today's information-enabled environment.
In fact, a mid-2022 U.S. defense article revealed that the Army was in the process of doing something similar, trying to combine the military's cyber, special operations, and space capabilities to create what it termed as a "deterrent triad." In this scenario, personnel are embedded together to correlate intelligence from their respective mission areas in order to amplify capabilities to target or deter an enemy. This seems a natural progression for the U.S. military that first embraced the concept of joint operations in 1993, the doctrine that governs the activities and performance for the U.S. military across the range of operations. Incorporation of cyber, space, and special operations components are fitting complements to today's battlespace, and the U.S. Army has already conducted its first tactical exercise using cyber teams in tactical scenarios that required hacking specific targets. The special operations commander acknowledged that the future of warfare may need more "coders" and less "door breakers."
The fusion of various aspects of resources in the pursuit of strategic national objectives have garnered global attention since Russia started implementing its "hybrid warfare" strategy. Hybrid warfare, a concept that includes the synergistic fusion of conventional, irregular, and non-kinetic activities, to achieve advantage. While Russia has been on the forefront of such integration, the United States looks to be behind its primary adversary, at least according to one prominent think tank. This is a disconcerting turn of events, given that the United States appears to be firmly engaged in non-military confrontation with China and Russia for the foreseeable future where the soft power tenets of hybrid warfare take place in what is often termed "the gray zone."
While the United States has used financial and material resources to bolster Ukraine in its conflict with Russia in its own version of hybrid engagement, the combination of cyber and special operations units is Washington's recognition that this needs to be implemented on the battlefield level as well. Special forces' abilities to work in small, clandestine operations and access hard targets could be a natural fit for cyber ops that require similar covert consideration, careful planning, and specialized skill sets. Additionally, these forces' experience with working with regional communities, host country language skills, and their background in the conducting of influence activities are immediately relevant to non-disruptive cyber actions. The sea, air, land, space, and cyber domains are all touched by information technology making the immersion of special and cyber forces imperative for the conflicts in the future, whether to support more conventional engagements like in Ukraine, or those requiring more surgical surreptitious precision.
And while the United States works on fusing its capabilities across domains, its other significant adversary China is quickly adopting a similar mindset through its "Multi-Domain Precision Warfare (MDPW)," a strategy intended to align all of Chinese resources "from cyber to space" and to counter the United States' Joint All-Domain Command and Control Initiative. China's Strategic Support Force is pivotal in making Chinese military "joint," and its roles and responsibilities are key to harmonizing all of China's information warfare mission areas. One U.S. defense official described MDPW as a way to look across the domains to identify vulnerabilities and exploit them. China's history of replicating U.S. military practices suggests that it too will look to enhance its own special operations forces with an offensive cyber capability, as it monitors Russian and U.S. developments in this area. Given China embracing an all-out engagement across political, military, economic, and cultural as it strives for global influence, it wouldn't be a surprise if Beijing isn't looking to fast track this capability to be used worldwide.
Special forces are often cross trained in specialized disciplines in order to make them streamlined, self-reliant teams. While the integration of cyber operators may be necessary for the present, being able to perform more technical missions is logical in an information space-driven environment that touches all of the warfighting domains. Special operators may soon find themselves learning pentesting techniques in addition to other sophisticated skills. What's more, the very secretive nature of this blended capability lends itself to overtly and covertly supporting other governments, as in the case of Ukraine, in both a military and nonmilitary capacity, and even training them. When looking at another potential hot spot area like China-Taiwan, special operations units could play an even more important cyber role than a kinetic one, especially if hostilities fall short of armed conflict.
Moving forward, the Department of Defense (DoD) may look to combine CYBERCOM and SOCOM together in order to unify special capabilities under one umbrella and one budget, and independent of other DoD entities. As the Ukraine crisis has borne out, militaries will need to be able to address the complex nuances of hybrid warfare, even if conventional military operations are taking place. Not every action will or should require a kinetic response, but may necessitate the speed, adaptability, and stealth of special operations' proficiency. If Ukraine is any indication of what future state-on-state engagement looks like, "joint" synergy may be less important than "blended" to achieve maximum effectiveness in pursuit of national security interests.

Officers in Kersal for latest in series of Salford 'action days'
Search teams surveyed the area close to the River Irwell
Officers from GMP's dedicated operation into tackling serious and organised crime in Salford have been in Kersal this morning in the fourth of a series of action days aimed at disrupting criminal activity in the district.
It has been a month since the inception of the action days and officers have so far trawled through sites on Buile Hill Park, Weaste Cemetry and Stanton Avenue looking to recover any discarded and hidden firearms or weapons to ensure their removal from the streets.
So far, police have recovered approximately four kilograms of Class A drugs and 30 unspent shot gun cartridges, which have been submitted for forensic evidence for ongoing investigations as part of GMP's dedicated Operation Naseby.
Today (Friday 20 November 2020)'s action comes after three firearms incidents in the past week – all incidents that aren't believed to be linked to any previous incident or ongoing disputes.
Extensive enquiries are ongoing for each of the incidents and detectives are encouraging any members of the public with information to get in touch to aid with their investigations.
None of the incidents caused serious or life-threatening injuries but officers are keen to bring to justice each of those responsible for those incidents.
The first of the three was on the evening of Saturday 14 November on Anson Street, Eccles, where a 20-year-old man was shot at by a passing vehicle.
On Tuesday 17 November, a 38-year-old man self-presented at hospital with a gunshot wound to the hand following an altercation with an unknown man in another vehicle on Littleton Road, Kersal – the vehicle was found burnt-out on nearby Whit Lane and recovered in evidence.
Yesterday morning (Thursday 19 November) a 39-year-old man was reported to be at hospital with a gunshot wound to the foot after an incident on Cromwell Road.
No arrests have been made in relation to any of the three incidents at this stage and detectives are investigating all lines of enquiry to establish what the circumstances of each of them.
There has been an increase in high-visibility patrols in response to the incidents and the public are, as ever, encouraged to speak to them with any concerns they may have, with the knowledge information will be treated with the strictest confidence.
Since the inception of the Operation Naseby disruption hub in April, there have been 133 arrests, 120 vehicles seized and 51 house searches.
Detective Superintendent Chris Packer, of GMP's Salford division, said: "Today's action is a really positive continuation of some of the work that has been done, not only as part of the weapon search days, but also our wider disruption activity that has taken place this year which has seen us make some really positive strides in the battle to thwart organised crime.
"There has been a worrying increase in the number of firearms incidents in the past week and I want to assure the public that, despite none of the incidents being treated as linked at this time, we have taken this very seriously and understand the concerns members of the public may have.
"We have a team of detectives who are thoroughly investigating each of the incidents and have been working around the clock to make sure that those responsible are caught, and I urge any members of the public who may have even the slightest bit of information to get in touch with us, or anonymously through Crimestoppers.
"It has been a challenging week but we take great confidence from the reduction in incidents involving serious and organised crime this year, which have previously been a burden on the city for a number of years. However, recent events show why the police remain vigilant and void of complacency as we need to continue our positive work as a district and alongside local authority to tackle the use of firearms and weapons on our streets."
GMP have also been working alongside partners in Salford City Council as part of Project Gulf, an initiative dedicated to tackling organised crime in the city with a view to deter reoffending as well as taking down criminal groups.
Councillor David Lancaster, lead member for environment and community safety, praised the police action and said partnership working and intelligence sharing through Project Gulf, is as strong as ever.
"We are also working hard to keep young people out of crime. The Steer project, run by Salford Foundation was launched in Salford to provide one to one support and proved so successful it was then rolled out across Greater Manchester.
"We've commissioned support for ex-offenders to find work to avoid them drifting back into crime and used everything from drama to direct meetings with ex-gang members. We want to make clear to young people the reality, consequences and dangers of getting involved in crime."
If you have any information about Operation Naseby or recent incidents in Salford, please call police directly on 0161 856 3777. Details can be passed anonymously to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
PD Tia is rewarded for her finds during the morning

Power Rangers Cast Changes (in Detail)
Austin St. John, Thuy Trang, and Walter Jones Replaced by: Johnny Bosch, Karen Ashley, Steven Cardenas
In 1994, Austin St. John (Jason), Thuy Trang (Trini), and Walter Jones (Zack) asked for more money at the height of the Power Ranger popularity and were then fired. This was discussed and confirmed in a number of interviews and articles. They left before the characters were written out, old footage and stand-ins were used in episodes before and during Adam, Aisha and Rocky were introduced. The new trio were introduced as friends, then discover their identities and then joined the team.
Amy Jo Johnson
Replaced by: Catherine Sutherland
Luckily, when Kimberly left it was pleasant and she got a proper farewell. The character left to train as a Gymnast, that being her dream. Amy Jo herself wanted to move on to other projects. After the show, on VH1's "I love the 90's" she said the show was cheesy. But she did admit in some interviews that without the show, she wouldn't had her other acting gigs. Catherine Sutherland originally auditioned for Dulcea in the MMPR movie, as she is from Australia and they were filming the movie in Australia. The producers thought she was too young but when they needed a replacement for Amy, they remembered her and casted her as Kat, who initially was a teenager influenced by Rita. They were the one of two sets of actors who were replacing each other to ever hug on screen or be right next (directly) to each other.
Karen Ashley
Replaced by: Nakia Bruise
And Aisha had a complicated send-off, Karen Ashley wanted a proper farewell, she was promised one but there wasn't enough time to do so. Karen Ashley wanted to move on. She was replaced by Nakia Bruise (Tanya) between when the show stop being Mighty Morphin and became Zeo in the episode "Hogday Afternoon Part 2." Above is Aisha and Tanya played by little girls as their characters had been turned into children. We never saw Nakia and Karen in the same scene.
David Yost was not replaced because he was not a Ranger at the time. He left mid-way through Zeo, for many years it was a mystery to why he left the show. It was rumored he acted badly to the crew and didn't get along with the crew. He recently broke the silence and revealed he is in fact gay and was a victim of anti-gay slurs. He didn't feel like it was a safe environment to live in so he decided to leave. Producers were planning to explain the Turbo powers were made by Billy. I personally believe David put up with a lot and if he didn't feel comfortable, he did the right thing. Billy didn't get a proper farewell, two actors filled in for him--an actor playing the 'older' Billy and another in a 'garbled' message.
Replaced by: Blake Foster
Steve thought of moving on to other non-acting projects and his dojo, so his character Rocky was written out as having a back injury and had to be replaced. Zordon chose Justin, which angered older fans. Steve and Blake were the one of two sets of actors who were replacing each other to be right next (directly) to each other.
Johnny Bosch, Jason Frank, Catherine Sutherland, Nakia Bruise
Replaced by: Roger V., Patricia Lee, Selwyn Ward, Tracy Cruz
But those four actors didn't leave because of money. The producers felt it was time to move on. The two sets of cast members were together in the same scene and were seen together before, but when they transfer their powers, weren't next to each other.
Varlie Vernon
Replaced by Melody Perkins
Varlie Vernon (Kendrix) of Lost Galaxy was diagnosed with Lukiema and had to leave the show. It was planned that Patricia (Cassie) would replace Varlie Vernon (Kendrix). They even shot the last scene for The Power of Pink indicating this, but Patricia had decided not to accept when she found out she wasn't going to be paid as a full-time cast member but a regular guest star (paid less), so she opted not to do it. That is why the last scene has the PRiS rangers in suit. Melody Perkins (Karone) happily accepted the role. Before Vernon left, they shot the last scene of the season where her character returned.

It's Nakia Burrise. You have my favorite Yellow Ranger's name spelled wrong :O lol
You forgot to list tommy's brother from zeo cause rumor was that he would be the gold zeo ranger back in the day
Lavender Ranger said...
No I didn't: http://henshingrid.blogspot.com/2010/05/red-herrings-for-white-ranger-and-gold.html
billy story has lost alot a truth i mean tmz even interview someone from the cast saying hes the problem now i under stand anti gay slurs on sett but people are saying it was him now it may be that saban asked them to say this just to make him look better because of the new season oh and i wonder how david feels about bulk being on the new series this topic need to be revisited hopeful in one of your posts
Steve has said countless times he didn't actually break his back, thats something the writers came up with. He left to focus on his dojo.
And Amy never said she disliked the show, just that she thought it was really cheesy and she didn't fully get its appeal
That is what I meant about Amy.
Does Austin St. John replaced Brad Hawkins as the Gold Ranger in Zeo counts? I know he dubbed the voice of Trey in one episode, but I heard rumors he was supposed to play the Gold Ranger's true identity as well before they decided to use those triplets instead.
I dont think that counts. Technically Brad wasn't replaced, I consider him just a placeholder. He told me in our e-mails that he wasn't ask to actually be the Gold Ranger. Just the voice. They wanted fans to guess, so they made a whole possibilities (including Billy and David), but ultimately I think they wanted Jason.

Pattie Boyd – Bio, Children, Spouse, Siblings, Family, Where Is She Now?
Pattie Boyd is a former English model, photographer, actress and writer. She was one of the top English models in the 1960s and is revered for changing the world of fashion with her sophisticated and daring sense of style which led to a renaissance in the fashion world. Despite starting from humble beginnings the 1.68m tall English beauty was able to work her way to becoming a huge force in the world of modelling and a source of inspiration to a thousand others.
Pattie Boyd's Bio
Patricia Anne Boyd was born on the 17th of Match 1940 in Tonto, Somerset. She is of English nationality and White ethnicity. Growing up, she had her elementary education at Hazeldean School in Putney and enrolled at St Agnes and St Michael's convent boarding school for her high school education but later switched to St Martha's convent In Haley Wood, Hertfordshire where she bagged her GCE O Level certificate in 1961.
After graduating from high school in 1961, she moved to London the following year where she found a job at Elizabeth Arden's Salon as a shampoo girl. In 1962 while attending to clients at the salon, she met a client who took notice of her stunning looks as well as her body features and advised her to go into modelling. She decided to take the advice and quit her job at the salon at the end of 1962 so as to focus all her time on modelling.
Barely two years after venturing into modeling professionally, she hit international stardom as a result of her looks and amazing sense of style, going on to feature on the cover of top style magazines such as Vogue, Honey, Elle and Vanity Fair to name a few. In 1964 she appeared on a Richard Lester directed Ad for Smith's Crisp which made her popularity soar even higher. Due to the success of the ad, she was cast to play the role of high school girl –Jean, in the 1964 Beatles comedy film A Hard Day's Night which was directed by Richard Lester.
As a model, she went on to achieve several feats such as being photographed by top photographers like Brian Duffy, Terence Donovan, and David Bailey. Although she did quit modelling in the late '70s, she made a comeback and featured on the cover of Italian Vogue as well as the British Vogue magazine working alongside star photographers like Patrick Litchfield and Justin De Villeneuve.
Pattie Boyd's Spouse and Children
Pattie Boyd is currently enjoying every bit of her life with her longtime partner Rod Weston. The most beautiful thing about their relationship is the fact that they got married in 2015 at the Kensington and Chelsea register office after being together for over 25 years. However, this wasn't her first marriage as she was once married to Beatles star singer George Harrison who she met on the set of A Hard Day's Night in 1964. They started dating shortly after and eventually tied the knot in January 1966.
According to George, she was his muse and inspired him in writing very popular hit love song – I Need You and Something. The pair eventually divorced in the fall of 1974 as a result of infidelities on the part of George with guitarist Ronnie Wood, but in fact, Pattie too did have an affair with George's former band Mate Eric Clapton.
Two years after getting divorced from George Harrison, she got married to Eric Clapton in 1979 but the pair eventually got divorced in 1989, as a result of Eric's steady substance abuse of heroin and alcohol as well as numerous infidelities. That being said Pattie is currently enjoying every bit of her married life with Developer Rod Weston even though she doesn't have any kids of her own.
Siblings and Family
Until recently, very little was known about the family of Pattie Boyd as well as her siblings. In an interview in 2017, she made some revelations about her family which many fans were delighted to know. According to her, she is the first of four children by her parents – Colin Ian Langdon Boyd and Diana Frances Boyd. The other three siblings are Colin who was born in Scotland in 1946, Jenny who was born in Surrey 1947, and Paula who was born in 1951 in Nakuru, Kenya.
Her father was an army pilot earlier in life but had a fatal crash that made him lose some part of his memory but her mom married him still, out of obligation and pity. As a kid, they moved from place to place to the point of moving to Kenya to stay with her grandparents. She went on to further reveal that her sister Jenny was also a model and they once set up a clothing store together in London Chelsea fashion Market which they named "Jenifer Juniper" in 1968.
Where Is She Now?
Not much is known about the whereabouts of former model Pattie Boyd or what she is up to. Ever since her photo exhibition which she tagged Through the Eye of a Muse in 2005 and the release of her autobiography titled Wonderful Today in August 2007, she has really been very quiet.
However, she came back to the spotlight as a result of her marriage to Rod Weston in 2015 but has been on the low ever since. She currently resides in Sussex alongside her Husband Rod and is known to be a huge contributor to a charity called SHARP (Self Help Addiction Recovery Program) which helps people with substance abuse addiction.

Youth With a Mission (YWAM) is a faith-based, non-profit movement operating around the world to share the good news of Jesus through practical helps, like medical mercy ship ministries.
Earlier this year, we got to hang out with a great group of passionate storytellers at YWAM Ships base in Kona, Hawaii. It was all part of a personal reconnaisance into a standing invitation to sign on as part of the crew.
There we discovered an unique opportunity to help share stories of what God is doing through YWAM's powerful front-line ministry of medical aid and practical helps to isolated people struggling with life on remote islands in the South Pacific.
Together with YWAM Ships' dedicated communications team – Nick, Leinie, Ben, Jaime and a handful of other 'YWAMers' – we worked to produce the following call for those interested in helping to get the work out.
Check this out, give it some careful thought and respond as you are led.

This excellent example of a Cooper S Mark III was purchased from a P Wright from Hartlepool in October/'97 She came with a full history, from new, including the original bill of sale and original receipt. This comprehensive history has been maintained by the present owner, the vendor. I cannot emphasise how comprehensive this history file is. One folder is nearly 4" thick and then there is another one a good 2" thick crammed with articles, bills, receipts, even including the original Leyland special tuning for all S Models, a number of technical drawings etc. you will find in the back of the larger folder. In 1997 the car had the following modifications carried out: the alternator replaced the dynamo and the hydrostatic suspension was replaced with dry suspension, which is a preferred option. You will find a DVD of the restoration of this car carried out by Jim Stokes, trading as J.S.W.L. Ltd of Waterlooville who is a renowned restorer of classic cars at a cost of £7,835.25. The file also shows that she has had 5 previous owners and it appears that all of them kept her records up-to-date. She even comes with the original Leyland key and key fob – this lovely car may be viewed by appointment.
The iconic Mini Cooper 1275 S turned the other rally competitors on their heads in the hands of Paddy Hopkirk and others winning the Monte Carlo Rally no less than 4 times. Coper S's were made between 1964 and 1967 for the Mark I and the Mark II and III were made between '67 and '71. Very few Mark III's were made, approximately 1500 and this car, which we present to you, is one of the last 50 ever made. As stated elsewhere, the vendor has owned this cracking car since '97 and this actual car starred in Quinton Wilson's TV Program ' Car's the Star ' She comes with her own dust cover embossed with 'Cooper'. The only fault, if you call it that' the front seats need recovering, but that is not a great expense. I do not think that we have ever seen a history file as comprehensive as this. I hope the new owner will continue this.

-History of wool
Wool is one of the oldest types of fabric, which has passed a long and interesting historical path.
Woolen fiber is one of the oldest types of fabric material. Simultaneously with the processes of domestication of animals, man learned to make fabrics from the wool of living animals, characterized by their lightness and high heat-shielding properties.
If the history of silk is directly related to China, then the wool originated simultaneously in many geographical areas around the world. The earliest evidence of wearing woolen things refers to the Babylonian kingdom, the very name of which translates as "the land of wool". However, the most ancient archeological finds of woolen products were discovered in Egypt, dating back to 3500 BC, where white cloaks were popular among the people. The highest quality of wool weaving in the Ancient World was spread in China, and even today's modern products cannot boast such a level of production.
There are many animals, of which wool the ancient masters made fabrics. For example, in America they used wool of lamas and buffalo, in Asia - goats and camels. However, the sheep have always been the undisputed leader in the production of wool. They were so highly valued in the Ancient World that the wealth of the owner was calculated according to the number of sheep in the herd, and the most expensive wool in the world - merino wool was even forbidden to be exported from Spain under pain of death until the 18th century.
The international wool trade began with the Portuguese sailors. Traders and producers from different countries adopted each other's experience, improving sheep breeding and wool production in their countries. In Australia Merino sheep were imported in the XIX century, and the climate was so suitable that since then a boom in the production of wool of the highest quality began, and Australia has become a world leader in the manufacture of wool. Countries with a developed wool industry also include New Zealand, Russia, Argentina, South Africa, Uruguay.
From the wool they made not only clothes, but also rugs, blankets, rugs. As if nothing has changed in the modern world, is it? Despite the emergence of synthetic fabrics, cheaper and easier to manufacture, woolen products have not lost their relevance. This is confirmed by the unique properties of the tissue, which no artificial tissue can reproduce.

I don't know if you guys have noticed, but I wear a lot of jeans and boots in my everyday life. A brief encounter with the Style section of the blog shows that this mainly comes at the expense of dresses, skirts and other forms of feminine wear. I don't know why that is — some people have their security-blanket in the form of their hair; I have mine in the form of quasi-masculine, mildly-boring street style casual wear. It's my thing.
Sometimes, though, even this casual lady needs a bit of a style lift. Enter in: the white ruffled blouse.
SORRY FOR ALL THE WRINKLES. I have no excuse except I hate ironing.
In case you've been sleeping under a rock and/or watching 7 series of Gilmore Girls in one sitting (a.k.a me), ruffles are everywhere for AW16. And while some high street takes veer into frou-frou territory, there are a select few tops that are sartorially on point, with just enough ruffle to make you feel elegant, stylish and put-together — with literally no effort. Paired with denim, a white ruffled blouse also adds a bit of drama and flair to an otherwise basic classic outfit.
My version — by Navy London (available at ASOS) — is, to me, the perfect amount of ruffle-to-blouse ratio. It has just enough frill to look dressy, complete with a tie neck harkening to the 60's/70's trend that's been permeating the high street this season.
And okay, while it does have a bit of a 17th-century-puritan-schoolteacher look (am I the only one that sees that in the bib?), it's just quirky enough actually look interesting and purposeful.
I've paired it with navy denim, my favourite long-length coat in a classic grey-and-white and a pair of heeled chelsea boots, which fits the nostalgic look of the blouse.
Firstly, make sure you're following me on Pinterest, where I'm constantly posting street-style fashion.
And finally, fashion-inspo brand Sheerluxe (whom I LOVE) have two posts about just the thing: a roundup of the best white ruffles on the market and the best black ruffles (my top even ends up in the white one). Pick your poison.
What do you think of the outfit? Do you have a white ruffle top? And — most importantly — do you see what I mean about 17th-century puritan schoolteacher vibe of the blouse?
