Suge Knight Kills Man On Set Of 'Straight Outta Compton'
Trending News: Suge Knight Just Murdered Someone On The Set Of 'Straight Outta Compton'
Because this is yet another crazy to story to add to the legend of Suge Knight.
Co-founder and former CEO of Death Row records, Suge Knight was arrested on suspicion of murder this morning after allegedly running over a man with his car on the set of the N.W.A. biopic, Straight Outta Compton.
Gawker reports that co-founder and former CEO Suge Knight was arrested this morning on suspicion of murder after allegedly running over a 55-year-old man with his car on the set of the N.W.A. biopic Straight Outta Compton.
The LA Times reported that Knight began arguing with two film crew members around 3 p.m. on Thursday. After 20 minutes, the two crew members left to go to a local fast food restaurant.
"Knight is believed to have followed the men in his truck before running them over the parking lot. Witnesses said the truck hit the men, then backed over them before leaving the scene," said Capt. John Corina of the
Los Angeles Sheriff's Department's detectives unit.
One of the victims, a 55-year-old man, is dead — and the other, a 51-year-old, is injured.
Knight arrived at Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department West Hollywood with his attorney James E. Blatt around 12:30 a.m. on Friday and concluded his interview with homicide detectives around 3:30 a.m. He was arrested on suspicion of murder, with bail set at $2 million.
Blatt claims that Knight was being attacked by the men, got in his car to try to escape, and accidentally ran over the victims.
This is yet another shocking story in Knight's history of trouble with the law. The LA Times ran down a few of his former run-ins with the law:
He is most famously known for being next to Tupac Shakur at the wheel of the car in 1996 when the popular rapper was shot by gunmen in another vehicle. Shakur died a week later and the case remains unsolved.
In 1997 he was sentenced to nine years in prison for violating the terms of his probation from a previous assault case. He was released in 2001, but was sent back two years later after hitting a parking lot attendant.
In 2008, he was arrested in Las Vegas on the suspicion of drug possession and aggravated assault and ending up pleading guilty to misdeamenor battery.
This past August, Knight was shot six times at a pre-awards party hosted by Chris Brown. Gawker reports that he's currently also facing up to seven years in prison for another charge — stealing a papparazzo's camera with Katt Williams.
Ask The Big Question: With this much on his rap sheet, can we realistically believe this was an accident?
Disrupt Your Feed: If you run a company called Death Row Records, no one is going to side with you when you're suspected of killing someone.
Drop This Fact: Knight is also infamous for allegedly dangling rapper Vanilla Ice off a balcony by the ankles.

The Marlian Gang: Lifestyles of youths who claim to be lawless, lack manners and home training
FeaturesSpecial Report
By KOLA MUHAMMED On Aug 9, 2020
Since the outbreak of popular genre of hip-hop music widely called 'Street-hop', the entertainment scene has witnessed quite some developments as the kind of songs which fit into the genre could be said to have redefined youthful lifestyles with dance moves and particularly slang. KOLA MUHAMMED in this piece examines how social and cultural values are fast giving way to a 'woke' culture among youths.
MUSIC and musicians through the ages have demonstrated the tendency to influence not only the present generation but also the future generation. No wonder, decades after they might have gone, generations later are still inspired by them.
The late Bob Marley said in one of his tracks entitled 'Trenchtown Rock': "One good thing about music, when it hits, you feel no pain," underscoring the soft effect of music on people. But there is no doubt that music influences people into action-positive or negative.
The late Afrobeat music exponent, Fela Anikulapo—Kuti, is regarded by many artistes and followers alike as the most influential music figure in the industry to date who works and impact still resonate long after his death. Not only does Fela have sons which continue his music and activism legacies, the Afrika. Shrine also serves as a long-lasting monument to a musician whose music still enjoy patronage till today.
However, today, Fela sounds like 'old school' to members the younger generation who have been raised with a different set of values where anything goes.
The new generation espouses the Marlian philosophy, calling themselves 'NBG' which stands for No Belt Gang, preferring to "sag" their trousers instead. In fact, a shout of 'Marlians' would be met with a response of 'no manners' by the adherents of the movement.
Interacting with youths who associate themselves with Naira Marley and his lifestyle, investigaions by Sunday Tribune revealed that among other things, Marlians claim that they don't graduate from schools, they have no manners, don't obey the law, lack home training, don't look for work, take drugs and engage in internet fraud as a legitimate hustle for them.
Though they are jobless, they love to spend money without care and try to enjoy life to the fullest. Their definition of enjoyment ranges from smoking, sex and indulgence in unrestrained acts.
To Oreoluwa Makinwa, "a Marlian is a free thinker or a fearless person who doesn't care. Such a person is dedicated to the course of Naira Marley and his style. They don't wear belts, they don't graduate and a whole lot of other things."
A Twitter user who sought anonymity, relayed how Marley's song saved the day during his encounter with some thugs in Lagos.
"I was in my car that day and as I was driving out of my street, some thugs stopped me like thugs would and ask for tips.
"Fortunately for me, I was playing a Naira Marley song. As I wound down and the music became audible to them, they felt because I was a Marlian like them, I shaould go They even hailed me as I drove off."
However, Anthony Ademiluyi believes that the Marlian movement is one which glorifies vices and as such deserves urgent attention.
"It is alarming that Marley's music passes no strong positive message and it's being accepted by all and sundry in the country.
"The movement which is akin to a cult is made up of renegades and outlaws who abhor social convention in their bid to stand out from the pack.
"The glorification of vices like internet fraud, dating scams, money-making rituals and other numerous vices which many Nigerians gladly embrace now is heavily reflecting on the music that is being produced and sadly exported outside the shores of the country.
What drives Marley and Marlians?
Speaking to Sunday Tribune, psychology expert, Chinelo Olayimika, explained that the deviant lifestyle of the self-proclaimed president of 'No Belt Gang, Naira Marley, could be traced to the kind of upbringing he had.
"One factor which drives a deviant lifestyle is parental upbringing. When parents are either too permissive or too strict, children end up trying to find a space for expression by going against norms. Peer group is another factor which can encourage being a deviant, trying to conform and feel among.
"From there, what started like delinquency becomes a normal lifestyle and as such would not be surprising that such people exhibit disruptive tendencies.
"Their lifestyle is then reinforced when much adulation comes their way for being the way they are. People start emulating them and turn them into models.
"People who are obedient and do normal things do not get any attention. Rather, the society seems to pay attention to people who do abnormal things, who go against the norm, who are unruly."
On why youths who proclaim themselves to be Marlians who idolise Naira Marley despite his apparent disregard for law and order and embrace of vices, Olayimika lends her professional opinion that the need to conform, social media and space for expression are some of the things which drive them to identify with such a figure.
"At one point in time, youths and humans generally look for conformity and strive for a sense of belonging. If a lifestyle is on the rise or in vogue, and is what is being celebrated on social media, young people will definitely jump on the bandwagon.
"At the same time, it is also an avenue to express themselves. There are vices that many do in secret and would not be proud of because of the sense of morality in the society. When someone is now bold enough to publicly showcase what they do in secret without being made to pay for it, then youths would definitely follow the person because it is their way of expressing what the society would have frowned."
Who is Naira Marley?
Born Azeez Fashola, the popular singer, according to music analysts, broke into limelight late 2017 with an Olamide and Lil Kesh assisted single, 'Issa goal' which eventually became the official theme for the Super Eagles at the 2018 World Cup tournament which was held in Russia.
The artiste then got involved in a case with anti-graft agency, Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and after leaving their custody, his fame grew as a deviant, and subsequently making a mockery of his arrest by law agents in one of his songs, 'Am I a yahoo boy', saying "emi o mo SARS oh, Sars temi mo is Sars on the beat, Olopa ko le mu wa…" (loosely translated to mean "I don't know of any SARS, the only SARS I know is a music producer, not the Special Anti-Robbery Squad, the police can't arrest us).
The manner in which he seemed to defy the law and make music out of the apparently messy encounter gave him an upsurge in popularity and started what would later crystalise into the Marlian movement.
Before the music attention, the Lagos-born singer relocated to the United Kingdom at a tender age before returning to the country in a bid to advance his passion for music.
The singer is reported to have attended Peckham Institute in the United Kingdom and graduated with distinction in business administration.
Attempts were made by Sunday Tribune to reach the institute via electronic mail in order to verify the claims but no response was got as of the time of writing this report.
Naira Marley and Fela comparison
There had been efforts by some music lovers to compare the movement pioneered by the late Afrobeat king, Fela Anikulapo Kuti with that of Naira Marley. However, for veteran musician and producer, Dede Mabiaku, such comparison between the two singers was inappropriate. Speaking Sunday Tribune on his views about the Fela movement and his music influence, Dede slammed those who described Marley as a 'rising Fela', insisting that such comparison trivialises the struggles Fela stood for during his lifetime.
He punctured the argument that Marley was fast assuming the role of Fela, saying "I have heard a lot of people comparing that young man to Abami Eda, Fela Anikulapo Kuti. Why are you trivialising the essence of your martyrs? I think these people are just talking from the place of ignorance and gullibility."
According to him, "Why are people bringing down Fela? Why are you rubbishing the essence of him in this corridor of nothingness? The boy, was he right in doing what he did? Ask yourself. Everything Fela did was based on enlightening the people, wake up the minds of the people for the development of the society the right way with respect and regard for our cultures and traditions."
In his submission, veteran singer, African China said those who call themselves 'woke' generation believe that everything starts and ends on social media platforms, adding that their penchant and blatant disregard for the moral values should give any right thinking person a reason to be worried.
"During our time, we had songs that kept the government on its toes. We respect the elders and we don't cut corners or look for what some of them now call 'quick fix'. I am worried for this generation and what the future holds for the music industry. I have a song that was released 15 years ago and is still being reckoned with today. How many of today's hip hop stars can boast of a song that would remain relevant 15 years from now?" he asked.
Asked what he thinks about the Marlian generation, the singer said he was not aware of such movement, adding that those who go about with such mentality will soon realise that there is no other way to success than to respect elders, respect your culture and work hard.
"It is really sad that things have turned out this way but we can't look at the bad sides alone because the industry has truly been doing good and I am proud of its success stories but we should not keep quiet when we see things falling apart," he said.
Also speaking on the Marlian generation, famous music producer and songwriter, Smoothkiss, cautioned the people propagating the idea to borrow a leaf from the books of music greats that have shaped the music industry for years.
"When you listen to Fela, Obey, KSA, among others, the music legends you will observe that they did well with their music and are still being referenced till today. For me, I don't think we are getting it right. Whatever they call Marlian generation died on arrival because nobody is even talking about it again. We are battling with coronavirus today, who knows what we will be facing tomorrow?" he asked.
Bob Marley Influence
The Tesumole crooner admitted to the influence of the late Jamaican music legend, Bob Marley and probably sees himself as the Nigerian version of the late Marley, hence the moniker, (Naira) Marley. Just like the Jamaican Marley in appearance, Naira Marley keeps his hair in dreads as a form of tribute to the late legend, albeit in smaller size.
However, critics are of the opinion that the Nigerian singer is a shoddy imitation of the 'purpose-driven' Jamaican singer born Robert Nesta Marley.
A social critic, Kareem Azeez, in an online post, remarked that the only similarity between the two Marleys is the "smokes of weeds".
"Naira Marley who is calling himself a Marlian should exhibit the true traits of Bob Marley, as well as his followers and youths who are just pushed without any purpose.
"But having faltered badly by this assessment, it shows he is only a nuisance to the morality of the environment we found ourselves in. In proper perspective, the only thing he represents is the pointless smokes of weeds freely at his shows and concerts. A true Marlian wouldn't do that.
"Bob's belief was in one world and one love, inspired by his Rastafari philosophy. He embraced the look of long dreadlocks and beards, the weed, the (reggae) movement and all of the powerful aspects of Rasta.
"Everything about the first, true and only Marlian was with a purpose and drive for positivism."
The 'woke' music generation
Popular artistes and up-and-coming counterparts have found a new way of reaching for the hearts of the consumers of their songs with lyrics that are usually laced with lewd contents and slangs.
Investigations revealed that new artistes desperate for stardom will sing anything or do whatever it takes to draw attention – and buzz – for their next projects. The belief is that if the last project was successful, they could leverage on it for a bigger one.
As the trend escalates, the listeners at the receiving end are daily fed with toxic-like music and are emboldened to shun moral teachings and embrace a life that glorifies crime.
It may not be out of place to say that many hip hop artistes usually pay more attention to dance moves and slang than they do to the lyrics of their songs. To some of them, even if the songs sound bad, as long as the slang is 'dope' as they say in common parlance, and the dance steps get the people grooving, the job is done.
This may explain why some entertainment stakeholders expressed their discomfort at what they described as a disturbing dimension that the music industry has assumed in the last 10 years.
While some of them believe that the industry has grown in leaps and bounds in the last few years and has rewarded many music artistes turning them into mega-rich stars conquering the African continent and bringing them global attention with their new Afro pop music wave, the downward side of what many now celebrate as success seems to have turned out to be a menace for Nigerian youths.
The flashy cars, exorbitant lifestyles artistes exhibits in their music videos and display on social media platforms keep fuelling the burning desire of the young generation to always find a quick way to success.
Falz the Bad Guy, a lawyer-turned-musician in one of his songs had said only those who understand how to scheme their ways to success in school are regarded as the bookworm. Falz at other times had used his music to criticise the government about some of its policies, which he said were anti-people.
At the last edition of the Nigerian Entertainment Conference (NEClive) held in Lagos State, experts posited that relatable and conscious music may have given way for what has now become the new normal in the music industry with a growing number of youths embracing what should be condemned by all.
Speaking to Sunday Tribune about the expansion of the music industry and the danger it portends for the Nigerian youths, popular disc jockey, Jimmy Jatt expressed his worries about what he described as a disturbing dimension the music industry was assuming, saying that while the industry has grown and enriched many, it is putting the music culture in a bad shape due to the way practitioners are ignoring the importance of using their craft to build the society and the people.
"It is true that things are fast-changing in the industry, especially with the boom it is currently experiencing but some of us need to caution the young generation about fame management and music business. When you fail to use your music as a tool for social consciousness and engagement, it begins to lose its value. We have a lot of work to do and I am sure we will get there," he said.
Stakeholders have also argued that Nigerian teenagers, especially those who follow the hip hop music culture are beset by dangerous myths about success.
Mr Bayo Bamako, founder of World Music Entertainment Platform said, "while music can make you rich as an artiste, it can also make others lose their respect for social values and culture because of what you preach and how you go about passing your music message."
Critics who have been angered by the trends being set by music artistes whose lifestyles are said to be misleading the youths have called on the Nigerian Broadcasting Corporation (NBC) to be alive to its responsibilities in checkmating songs being played on the airwaves.
The regulatory body had in recent times placed a ban on works by three of Nigeria's top level music artistes for an alleged violation of its rules and regulations.
It named Olamide's Wo and Wavi Level; a remix of Davido's If and 9ice's Living Things as the culprits in a current list of banned songs and music videos that it released to the public.
From expressions such as who you epp, first of all-introduction, pepper dem gang, shoro niyen, o po and enu gbe, slangs have constantly emanated from mainstream music and faded away with the passage of time.
However, a trend, which many moralists have described as a threat to the boundaries of what obtains as norms and morals, has amassed a lot of followers and continues to grow in acceptability is the Marlian gang.
What started as a slang and was expected to vanish like the others has instead become a movement.
Among the youths especially, phrases such as I'm a Marlian, Marlians no manners are popular and the Marlian cult following could be said to have been born out of the affinity for and wide acceptability of songs and attendant slangs of popular singer Naira Marley.

Could your Business use a Business Credit Card? – YOU CANT STOP THE SHOW!!
Could your Business use a Business Credit Card?
Disclaimer: In no way, shape, or form is this credit advice or loan advice as this information may not apply to all of your businesses. This is a suggestive tactic to increase future possibilities for your growing business. Please do your own research before applying for and considering taking on new debt even if it is for your business.
Small businesses need all of the flexibility that they can get. Some of you may already be beyond this stage. Some businesses have gotten small loans or advancements from family or wherever, but there are some of you that cant scale because of limitations. There is risk, as it is with any kind of debt. There is also interest like any kind of debt, but, you can increase flexibility with a business credit card if used correctly. Fund are readily available and payments aren't too drastic unlike loans where if some conditions are not met, it can become real bad, real fast. Most of us will argue with the fact that it is hard to get a business loan anyway, so what other options do you have besides family or the lottery? (Hey, I still play the lottery sometimes) If you have a business that is truly growing then the pros will outweigh the cons at a significant rate and will continue to get better over time.
First, if you are able to avoid using credit or obtaining new debt in any way you should do so. If you do have to use it, use it to your advantage. A business credit card could help you optimize savings and boost your credit score. In the long run, if you need a serious influx of cash, a bank loan could then become very available to you. (At least your chances of approval might increase).
Even though we are ending this year's tax season already, making most or all of your purchases using your business card would have saved you tons of time. There would have been no rummaging for receipts or different statements trying to find a write-off. That information would have been available to you in one or two places. You would be able to track most of your purchases in a single login. You could do that with a debit card of course but you also would not get the benefits that the card company offers.
Most business cards offer generous rewards. If you travel frequently for your business, you could rack up tons of free miles. If you spend a keep a rotating balance, you could save on huge cash back rewards. If you are able to pay back the balance every month – you would benefit substantially. Before applying for a business credit card, take the time to view your options and they can offer you. Decide which cards will benefit you short and long term. Another unforeseen reward could be something as simple as taking on a new employee and having a card available for them. This could do wonders for your time and your business.
So now that you make most of your purchases with your card, they will more than likely provide analytics for you to see what you are spending money on. This information can be useful to you showing trends, places you can get rid of baggage, and places you could spend a little more or a little less. Also, imagine being able to pay off your own vendor(s) while waiting on a payment to clear from a customer. This is an example of flexibility.
It's still a credit card at the end of the day which means interest WILL apply. Pay attention to that cause interest at a high amount could leave you swimming in debt. A credit card in any aspect is a tool or a buffer to get you to the next objective. It's never to be viewed as free money because you have to pay it back. Debt could hold serious risks for you and your business so DO NOT take it on lightly. Many business credit cards have higher credit limits than personal credit cards, so you could theoretically wind up falling behind on your payments quicker than with a personal credit card. Don't overextend your business in credit card debt or any kind of un-planned debt. This debt will also affect you directly. Your score could take a serious hit and any plans you had towards growing your business could be postponed or worse. Done right, you could build a significant amount of buffering room within your business and your credit rating. Running a business usually means you will want to have available funds AND available credit. The only rule that we say for you to directly apply is, pay the bills on time and always pay well over the minimum. A good rule of thumb is to keep utilization at about 30% monthly and pay the balance off as soon as possible and you will never go wrong.

Feedback with Lizi von Teig: A Movie Review of Miss Americana
Oddball Magazine2020-03-15T21:39:39-04:00March 12th, 2020|Columnists, Feedback, Film Review|1 Comment
Taylor Swift is an immensely private artist. Everything she does is a calculated move to maintain or alter her public image. She has to be. She's a woman superstar with a background in country music, an industry so brutal against women artists and anything resembling leftism that the Dixie Chicks had to take fourteen years away from the studio after their comments against a President who lost the popular vote. She has been under the magnifying glass since sixteen years old. Unlike most child stars, she has learned how to maintain an image despite that. Miss Americana is probably the most personal image of her we're going to get until her inevitable autobiography when she reaches her sixties or seventies.
To be clear, Miss Americana is no less calculated than everything else she does. But it displays a vulnerability of her that we haven't seen before. The emotional crux of the film is Taylor learning how to stop being a "good girl" and be Taylor Swift. Drawing both on extremely humanizing archival footage (I absolutely adore baby Tay's poor singing) and extensive filming done in the past two (three?) years, the film is an exceptional illustration of a young woman who had to grow up late, who had to fight for her beliefs when people were telling her not to and just be a "good girl." Her realization that she needed to speak up began with her sexual assault trial in 2017, but blossomed into an attempt to unseat TN Senator Marsha Blackburn and advocacy for the Equality Act.
The film documents some great emotional growth by Taylor. Starting from a place of great insecurity and fear of other people's opinions and thoughts on her, you see her become confident in the notion that people whose hate stems from reactionary bigotry shouldn't get her down. The journey's clearly not done yet, she still has a lot of emotional growth to do, but the leap she's done already is commendable. It's a realization that seems to have started with the Kanye feud. There's a lot of egotism and entitlement in Kanye's actions towards Taylor that seems to have sparked an awakening for her. The problem with the diss in his song "Famous" was not that he called her a bitch, it was the blatant sexualization of her and the idea that he was the reason that she was successful (a key reminder here that her first album garnered seven number one hits on the Billboard Hot 100). It's a level of self-centeredness that perhaps primed Taylor for the Trump era.
The elephant in the room in the whole film is the absence of any commentary on Katy Perry. The two were harsh rivals for years, climaxing with Taylor timing her return to Spotify to drown out Perry's album Prism. The two publicly made amends in the "You Need To Calm Down" music video that premiered in June 2019, just two months before Perry was accused of sexual misconduct by three people. Taylor's hard stand for sexual assault victims — both with her high profile court case and with her opposition to Marsha Blackburn for voting against the reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act — winds up falling a little bit flat when this connection is not discussed.
Nevertheless, Miss Americana is a beautiful documentary about coming of age politically and learning how to speak out against injustice, and anyone with interest in the power politics of the music industry should watch it.
Miss Americana is available on Netflix now.

Although Miles Davis first appeared on bebop recordings of Charlie Parker, his first important session as a leader was called The Birth Of The Cool. An album containing all the recordings of this group is available. The cool jazz style has been described as a reaction against the fast tempos and the complex melodic, harmonic, and rhythmic ideas of bebop. These ideas were picked up by many west coast musicians, and this style is thus also called West Coast jazz. This music is generally more relaxed than bebop. Other musicians in the cool style include saxophonists Stan Getz and Gerry Mulligan, and trumpet player Chet Baker. Stan Getz is also credited with the popularization of Brazilian styles such as the bossa nova and samba. These and a few other Latin American styles are sometimes collectively known as Latin jazz.
Many groups in the cool style do not use a piano, and instead rely on counterpoint and harmonization among the horns, usually saxophone and trumpet, to outline chord progressions. Pianist-led groups that developed from this school include those of Dave Brubeck (with Paul Desmond on saxophone), Lennie Tristano (with Lee Konitz and Warne Marsh on saxophones), and the Modern Jazz Quartet or MJQ (featuring John Lewis on piano and Milt Jackson on vibraphone), which also infuses elements of classical music. The incorporation of classical music into jazz is often called the third stream.

Kelowna, BC: An Inside Look at This Amazing City Tucked in the Okanagan Valley
Mhie Lee 7:30 PM 3 comments
The city of Kelowna was first settled in 1859, when Father Charles M. Pandosy moved to the area, which was then referred to as the Bay of Sand due to its shoreline. The city was fully incorporated on May 4th, 1905 and in May 2005 the city enjoyed its centennial anniversary. Since then, Kelowna has grown into a major Canadian centre with over 100 000 residents.
The Arts In Kelowna
Although it may not be evident at first, Kelowna has a thriving arts scene. The Rotary Centre for the Arts is a vital establishment for Kelowna's arts community. Visual arts and performance arts shows take place in this venue, which also offers a variety of courses and instructional workshops that help artists realize their dreams. Festivals take place around the year, including music, theatre, dance and visual art events. The Kelowna Art Gallery was created in 1976, establishing another important space where shows and exhibitions take place. More than 700 pieces populate the permanent collection of the Kelowna Art Gallery, which began with the procurement of After the Rain by Irvine Adams, an artist who commands international praise. Some of the largest theatre venues in the area are the Kelowna Community Theatre, which boasts a seating capacity of 869, and the Black Box Theatre, a rehearsal hall that measures 1 200 square feet.
Demographics of the City of Kelowna
The city of Kelowna is the 22nd-largest city in the country, with a population of 179 839 as of 2011. The population increase between 2006 and 2011 measured 9.9 percent, with a total increase in permanent residents of 10 605 people. The median income of individuals in Kelowna is $36 813 per year, slightly higher than the average for British Columbia as a whole. The unemployment rate is 7.9 percent, four percentage points above the average unemployment rate of British Columbia. The average price for a resale house in the Kelowna real estate area has risen for the past two years straight, rising 0.9 percent in 2012 and 2.0 percent during 2013. Currently, the average resale price of a Kelowna home is $522 000. For brand new homes, the average cost is $740 000 for a single-detached property, after a 1.4 percent increase in value in 2013. The most expensive properties found in Kelowna real estate listings such as AllKelownaHomes.com tend to be gorgeous waterfront properties that are valued in the millions.
Major Kelowna Transportations Routes
One of the newest ways to get around the Kelowna area is the William R. Bennett Bridge that connects Kelowna with West Kelowna. This bridge has five lanes and was made accessible to the public on May 25th, 2008. The main highway that serves Kelowna is Highway 97, which was once the only major highway into town. The Coquihalla Highway, the Okanagan Connector and Highway 33 are other significant connecting routes in and around Kelowna.
Kelowna Weather and Climate
Kelowna experiences a variety of different weather. The coldest month tends to be January, with an average high of 1.4 degrees while the hottest month is usually July, which averages a high of 29.2 degrees. A wilderness playground nestled in the British Columbia interior, Kelowna is a world-class city that is famous for its delicious wines, thriving technology sector and vibrant arts community. With a great variety of local activities like skiing, surfing and winery tours, this growing city is great for those who love to play as hard as they work.

The 38th Infantry Division () was a German Army infantry division in World War II. Formed in July 1942, it existed for a little over 15 months before being effectively destroyed in fighting on the Eastern Front in November 1943.

History

The 38th Infantry Division was formed in July 1942 under the command of Generalleutnant Friedrich-Georg Eberhardt. After serving garrison duty in The Hague shortly after its formation, the division was transferred to Occupied France. It was based at Saint-Nazaire on the west coast, as part of the 7th Army.

Transferred to the Eastern Front in early 1943, the division was engaged in various actions against the Russian Army. By September, the division had been reduced to little more than regiment size and it came under the operational control of the 62nd Infantry Division. Losses incurred during the Battle of the Dnieper meant that the 38th Infantry Division officially ceased to exist on 14 November 1943. The surviving members of the division were transferred to the 276th Infantry Division.

Commanders
Generalleutnant Friedrich-Georg Eberhardt (July 1942–August 1943);
Oberst Knut Eberding (August–November 1943).

The day of Alice's funeral September 4, 2013, we had a beautiful butterfly just waiting outside the front door when I took our dog out.
I have never seen a butterfly like this – no one here in Virginia has seen anything like this either and I never saw it again. It just sat there on the flower pot and "posed" for this picture. I like to think it was Alice saying goodbye to me.
So here it is, 4 years later. Another anniversary of Alice's funeral.
I took my mom to Walmart. When I got back, I was counting the items to put in the freezer. I counted 5 but knew I bought 6. I counted again. Still 5.
I went back out to the car to see if it had fallen under the seat. Nope.
When I was coming back in, there was Alice's butterfly again. It was flitting about and I couldn't get an image this time but the message was clear to me.
When I got in, I checked the receipt – I did buy 6. Back to the freezer and there were 6 frozen dinners.
Thank you again for the butterfly message. It made me sad but also hopeful for the future.
Thanks for sharing such an amazing experience.
I do believe that our loved ones can send us messages in different forms. We only need to look around and be aware.

Here's How You Change The Often 'Brutally Sexist' Business Of Politics
l was involved in politics for 25 years and saw plenty of frat boy behaviour.
Christy Clark Mom. MLA for Westside-Kelowna. Premier of British Columbia.
Darryl Dyck/Canadian Press
Former B.C. Premier Christy Clark emerges from Government House after meeting with Lt-Gov. Judith Guichon after her Liberal minority government was defeated on a confidence vote in Victoria, B.C. on June 29, 2017.
First, to women who have come forward to report: thank you. All of us who have experienced a sexual assault, harassment, or aggressive and unwelcome advances know it's a damn hard thing to talk about. Every one of you has set a powerful example and every day more women are finding their voices as a result.
l was involved in politics for 25 years and saw plenty of frat boy behaviour. It made me promise myself that I would do things differently, should I ever get the chance to lead.
These women were not tokens
I am the first woman ever to be elected premier of British Columbia. I am the longest-serving female premier in Canadian history. And, I am the only woman ever to be re-elected to the post of premier in Canadian history.
My first cabinet had a greater percentage of women in it than any in the previous decade. I appointed B.C.'s first female attorney general, first female solicitor general, and the first woman to lead BC Hydro — one of B.C.'s biggest companies.
Our 125,000+ civil service was run by a woman, the next most important ministry (finance) was also headed by a woman — the first time that's happened in B.C. history. Over a third of our government board appointments were women and half of our civil service.
Chad Hipolito/Canadian Press
B.C. Premier Christy Clark, centre, and her Liberal cabinet after being sworn in in Victoria, B.C. on June 12, 2017.
Our Speaker was a woman, our caucus chair was a woman, our lieutenant-governor was a woman and, of course, while I served, our premier was a woman. It was a special time. (Unfortunately, all of those jobs — except the LG — are now held by men.)
I didn't trumpet these stats, because I didn't want a single one of my female colleagues to be treated as though they were there for any other reason than that they were qualified for the job.
These women were not tokens, not statistics added together to make a good press release. Every one of them was qualified. Every one of them made a difference for women in the workplace. It's an awful lot harder for sexist behaviour to go unnoticed or be deliberately ignored when there's a woman in the room. Moreover, that behaviour is never going to be rewarded when there's a woman in charge.
This doesn't mean women should always be in charge. Men have a vital role in this. The vast majority of men would never behave the way that Patrick Brown and Kent Hehr are alleged to have behaved. But the fact is that in a workplace with few women, as politics very much still is, sexist and inappropriate behaviour happens a lot.
Yes, I get it, most of you are men, but culture change starts at the top ...
What can every citizen do to change it? Elect more women. Yes, make sure they're qualified — not every woman is better just because she's female — but if she's smart and capable, give her the chance.
And for political parties? Work harder to find great women to run for office. Parties that are in opposition have the best chance to make this happen — they have more "open" seats in which there is no incumbent. But all parties can have an impact by ensuring that women don't just get nominations, but that they also get to run in the sure-bet ridings.
First ministers? Don't load up your offices and your senior civil service with men. Having a gender-balanced cabinet won't have an impact if the bureaucrats who do the heavy lifting are almost all men. And, make sure your own office has women in senior roles. Yes, I get it, most of you are men, but culture change starts at the top and if your "real" cabinet is mostly male, you won't change a thing despite the window dressing.
We are watching history being made right now. Politics is a brutal and very often brutally sexist business — one that has historically reduced women like me to a footnote in history.
But, thanks to lots of brave women who are making their voices heard, change is FINALLY afoot. I am delighted.

My question is this…why isn't the Australian Electoral Commission charged with ensuring those who require postal votes get the required application paperwork? Why is Mr Laming…the supposedly innocent Mr Laming who the AFP couldn't mount a case against for lack of sufficient evidence…wasting my taxpayer dollars on clear and present partisan advertising in the guise of a community service?
Of course, Mr Laming is academically astute, according to some, and apparently has a nice resumé. I sincerely disdain any references to his so-called 'humanitarian work'. Especially when he's deliberately wasting MY money advertising HIS political career in the guise of doing good things.


Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that causes damage to the small intestine when gluten is consumed. Celiac disease occurs in people who are genetically predisposed to the illness and is hereditary.
Research has yet to discern the cause of the disease, though it is noted that it can trigger after events like surgery, pregnancy, viral infections, and severe stress. Patients with celiac disease can be diagnosed as a child or an adult.
When gluten is consumed, the body's immune system over-responds and attacks the patient's small intestine, damaging the villi. These are small hair-like projections that line the intestine and are essential in helping the body absorb nutrients. As a result, the body cannot properly absorb the nutrients it needs, which can lead to complications.
What Happens If It Goes Undiagnosed?
In children, complications can take the form of poor tooth enamel, delayed puberty, or intussusception (when the intestines fold in on themselves).
Of course, there are many good gluten-free versions of the above products available. Educate patients on how to read nutrition labels as well as what they can do to avoid gluten while still eating healthy.
As a gastroenterologist, you know patients who suffer from irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) have their quality of life affected due to its unpredictability. And to make matters worse, IBS can be the cause of additional health problems, including hemorrhoids.

SONIC Drive-Ins 2018 Tot Calendar Available - Proceeds Fund Free Car Seats for Needy Families
The 2018 edition of SONIC Drive-In's Tot calendar is now available at all Louisiana SONIC locations. The Tot calendars are available for $5 each, and all proceeds benefit the Louisiana Passenger Safety Task Force, an organization that buys and installs free child safety seats for needy families throughout the state.
The Tot calendar is on sale today through February 18, 2018. In addition to free car seat safety tips, the calendar offers more than $45 worth of coupons redeemable towards SONIC Drive-In purchases.
SONIC has partnered with University Medical Center New Orleans and the Louisiana Passenger Safety Task Force for this project. All proceeds from calendar sales are being directed to the Louisiana Passenger Safety Task Force to purchase and distribute child safety seats based on family needs in the region. Click to watch video.
"When used correctly, child restraints are the number one factor in reducing serious injuries and death in motor vehicle crashes," said Bridget Gardner, RN, Community Injury Prevention Program Coordinator at University Medical Center New Orleans. "This partnership provides an avenue to reach the unrestrained population to prevent the injuries that we far too often witness as a Level 1 Trauma Center."
Over the past two years, employees of Louisiana's 147 SONIC locations have raised a total of $103 thousand in calendar sales, which paid for a total of 1,848 car seats. SONIC also supports Seat Check Saturday, an annual statewide event hosted by the Louisiana Passenger Safety Task Force that provides free car seat inspections for all families.
"In just two years, the Tot calendar has paid for nearly 2,000 child safety seats," said Ted Kergan, owner of Kergan Bros. Sonic Group, the state's largest SONIC franchisee. "The program has made a real difference in protecting kids from car injuries and preventing one of the leading causes of childhood deaths."

Ecosystem Deep Dives #9: Portugal - Start-up Eldorado
Having been badly hit by the 2008 crisis and a painful EU bail-out in 2011, Portugal has completely rebranded itself as a digital nomad paradise.
Lisboa, Portugal (source)
Portugal's recent history has been in strong contrast with its idyllic location, picturesque landscape, and colorful culture. Following decades of military dictatorship that ended in 1974 following the so-called Carnation Revolution, Portugal's young democracy was hit hard by the global 2008 financial crisis. Severe austerity measures put in place following the 2011 EU financial bailout led most of its talent and young population to leave the country in search of better opportunities abroad. However, in recent years, Portugal's image on the international scene has changed drastically, as a result of strong improvements on the economic and social front. Today, Portugal is often revered as a "digital nomad" paradise, an enviable title in the era of remote work.
With a population of 10 million, a GDP per capita of around $35,000 and arguably one of the countries with the best weather in the world, Portugal also differentiates itself through its strong standards of living. Portugal is recognized as the 3rd most peaceful country in the world, behind Iceland and New Zealand. It has excellent connectivity, with 96% of the country enjoying 4G coverage. The country is seen as a great mix between EU stability, relatively cheap cost of living, high national English proficiency, and a great entry point into the EU's massive 500 million+ consumer market.
Ancient buildings that used to house daring seafarers now host ambitious and outward looking entrepreneurs, giving birth to an eclectic mix of traditional architecture and new technology, united by the same desire to build something bigger than oneself. Slowly but surely, Lisbon is turning into a sunnier, cheaper and dare I say "Europeaner" version of London. All of these preconditions, combined with public and private initiatives to boost Portugal's start-up scene, have led Portugal's start-up ecosystem to enjoy exciting, steady and extremely promising growth throughout the past decade.
The taste of success
Although the Portuguese start-up ecosystem is still not on par with the likes of Paris or Berlin, the country already boasts 7 unicorns, impressive fundraising rounds, and a large diversification of the sectors its startups innovate in. This is likely due to the small size of the Portuguese local market, which leads Portuguese founders to design globally scaleable products from the get-go. In fact, 75% of Portuguese start-ups opt for a B2B model, specializing in creating enterprise products. This trend can be clearly seen in the list of the country's list of unicorns so far:
Farftech: An online luxury fashion retail platform.
Outsystems: Low-code platform that enables businesses to develop, deploy, and manage enterprise-grade apps.
Talkdesk: An enterprise contact center platform that allows companies to make the customer experience a competitive advantage.
Feedzai: Risk management tools to prevent fraud and money laundering in transactions.
Remote: Offers international payroll, benefits, and compliance services for employees and contractors.
Sworth Health: A digital musculoskeletal therapy provider that pairs its members with a licensed physical therapist.
Anchorage: A digital asset platform offering custody, trading, and financing services, as well as staking and governance.
The Portuguese incubator/co-working scene is also very active with more than 150 incubators spread out throughout the country. Between 2016 and 2020, the number of incubators grew 40%. A couple of the top incubators in Portugal include Beta-i, Fintech House and Fabrica de Startups. Special mention for Bright Pixels, which identifies as a "start-up studio", which means they specialize in building ventures from the ground up, leaning on a solid network of corporate and institutional partners as long as strong, in-house technical teams. This new type of incubator is poised to gain traction in recent years, as the corporate world is quickly realizing the need for innovation due to drastic change in consumer habits amongst Gen-Z. In parallel, the country is quickly growing its international tech appeal through the organizations of successful events such as the WebSummit and Get in the Ring.
Portugal also has the specificity of having a fairly geographically distributed ecosystem, compared to other countries where the capital and/or the biggest city concentrate almost all start-up activity. The country's main "start-up cities" include Lisbon, Porto, Braga and Coimbra. Actually, it is argued some of the country's best incubators (IPN, UPTEC, Start-up Braga) are located outside of Lisbon. From my discussion with local actors, I found out most talent is located in the north, explaining why many great start-ups emerge from Porto.

Main sectors
As explained previously, the small size of the Portuguese market forces founders to think global from the get-go. As seen in the list of its unicorns, Portuguese founders tend to focus on B2B models, which differs from most ecosystems we've covered so-far. Indeed, while Indonesia and Colombia have either ride-hailing or food delivery apps as their first unicorns, Portugal's first unicorns differentiate themselves by directly tapping into highly technical markets.
While the sectors Portuguese start-ups innovate is highly diversified, fintech (financial technology) still takes the lion's share of the market. The Portuguese fintech sector is consolidated under the umbrella of Portugal Fintech, an organization carrying out lobbying, incubation and research efforts to promote the advancement of financial technology in the country. The country's first fintech unicorn, Feedzai, will likely only accelerate that trend. Being a country with a "leftist" governmental tradition, Portuguese entrepreneurs are also exploring the interesting intersection between social/environmental impact and deeptech such as AI (artificial intelligence) and ML (machine learning).

In terms of the funding landscape Portugal's local VC scene is starting to heat up, with prominent Portuguese VC's such as Indico Capital, Faber Ventures and Shilling VC setting their sights on Portuguese as well as global start-ups. Having local VC funds connected globally can only be a boost for the ecosystem. Local angel syndicates such as Olisipo Way and Core Angels are also providing well-needed funding for the often dry "pre-seed" sector. For more in-depth resources on the local investor scene and deal-flow in Portugal, I recommend you check out this fantastic article by Felipe Ávila da Costa, who delves into it with depth and precision.
In 2020, Portuguese start-ups raised 365 million euros across 146 different rounds. In comparison to other EU countries, Portugal is ahead of Denmark and just behind Italy. Interesting to note is the fact that large rounds raised by Portuguese start-ups are generally done through a foreign entity (Delaware C-Corp most of the time) in order to facilitate the process for foreign investors. While I used to think this type of procedure might be bad for small ecosystems, I'm starting to realize that having a single, standard framework to raise money (the Delaware C-Corp) might unlock more global capital into emerging markets rather than trying to get each country to develop its own, unique fundraising legal instruments. In Portugal, this process enabled world-renown Sequoia Capital to make its first investment into a Portuguese start-up, Remote.
Another interesting element of the Portuguese start-up scene to catch my eye is the concept of "public VC's", in other words, governments acting as VC's to fill the funding gaps left by traditional investors. In Portugal, two main initiatives fall within that range: the $200M co-investment fund supported by the EU and the Portuguese government, as well as Portugal Ventures, a VC operated by state-owned bank Banco Português de Fomento.
The organization Start-up Portugal is what holds all of this ecosystem together, as it acts as the coordinator of the country's incubators, events and lobbying efforts. It is responsible for implementing the National Strategy for Entrepreneurship, the government's roadmap to boost the ecosystem.

Government role
Through the two public VC's mentioned above as well as other initiatives, the Portuguese government is definitely on the side of start-ups, even though many founders still criticize high taxes and inefficient bureaucratic procedures.
Two encouraging recent developments can be found in the election of Carlos Moedas, a former EU Innovation Officer, as mayor of Lisbon. Moedas openly stated his desire to turn Lisbon into a "unicorn factory", setting the tone for his term. Furthermore, it was recently announced that Portugal will be spearheading the newly formed Europe Start-up Nations Alliance (ESNA), which aims to spur collaboration between EU governments to harmonize start-up legislation across the continent. The role and purpose of ESNA can be compared to the work i4Policy carries out in Africa. Government efforts to attract foreign talent/capital such as the Golden Visa and the Start-up visa are also laudable, although 98% of founders are still Portuguese. On the contrary, Estonia's similar policies led to 20% of Estonian-based start-ups being founded by foreigners.

Corporate & Academia
More and more emerging markets are realizing the importance of involving the corporate and the academic sector in the development of their national start-up ecosystem. Corporates bring operational capabilities, ties to the government, and are in dire need of innovation themselves. On the other hand, the role of academia is important not only on the R&D side, but also by preparing students for the updated version of the job market.
In Portugal, the involvement of corporates and academic institutions is taking form nicely. On the corporate side, the Santander Bank (although the bank is originally Spanish) has been encouraging and financing innovative ideas through initiatives such as Santander X Tomorrow Challenge. Galp, a major oil/gas Portuguese conglomerate has been encouraging the green energy transition through the launch of its Upcoming Incubator. While all of these initiatives are good on the surface, one always has to look into the total impact of the company as a whole before immediately "clearing its name" because it launched a "social impact accelerator". In other words, a lot of oil and gas companies launch "green" incubators while continuing to extract more and more fossil fuels from our planet. What should be measured is the social/environmental impact of a corporation as a whole, not only a shiny initiative it launches (although that might be the start to more).
On the academic front, MIT Portugal Program and the Center for Technological Innovation and Entrepreneurship at the Catolica Lisbon University are both two great examples of bridges between the academic and the start-up world. The need for technical talent in Portugal, although not as acute as in other countries, is still one of the painpoints founders often cite as a barrier to success. Tech-centered education initiatives such as 42Lisboa, Upskill and Academia de Codigo are working to fill that gap.
The Portuguese ecosystem is undoubtedly poised for more growth, especially as the EU seeks to harmonize and "de-fractionalize" its internal market, which with its 500 million users, strong middle class, and high internet connectivity, has the potential to be an extremely attractive market for the next Portuguese unicorns.
On the local side, more efforts have to be undertaken to simplify and reduce the tax regime on start-ups, a complaint nearly 70% of Portuguese start-ups share. The government has also been implementing measures to digitalize its bureaucracy, through initiatives such as Simplex and Empresa na Hora (business in an hour), but founders seem to demand more.
All in all, Portugal will very likely continue to reap the fruits from its dynamic ecosystem, beautiful landscape and internationally-minded culture. One of the big open-ended questions is whether Portugal will benefit from the rise of remote work, with international talent moving to Portugal, or suffer from it, with local Portuguese talent deciding to work (from Portugal) for higher-paying jobs from the US/Canada/Europe.

But why am I compelling you to double the cost of your food shop, just so you can purchase a slightly smaller broccoli? Well (without sounding too much like my grandmother), until the 50s, 'organic food' was just 'food', but then agrochemicals were invented and dispensed in their tonnes to kill disease and pests.
While killing disease is good, killing off all surrounding wildlife is not. Non-organic food is routinely sprayed with things like Carbendazim (a chemical linked to developmental damage in mammals) and Glyphosate (classified by the International Agency for Research on Cancer as "probably carcinogenic to humans"). Ingesting substances designed to kill things, no matter how small the quantity, isn't particularly good for us.
While supermarkets offer fare from far flung lands, they rack up vast air miles and wreaking havoc with the world in the process. City farmers markets and green grocers tend to stock produce sourced slightly closer to home. While this is by no means a guarantee, food is organic (always check!), it's usually a good indicator. Use Big Barn to find out where you can source organic food close to you.
Get your five a day with minimum fuss, through signing up to a veg box scheme. Every week, fresh produce will be delivered directly to your door – saving you from the daily struggle of frantically checking supermarket labels, attempting to work out what's organic and what's not. Again, not all vegetable boxes are organic, so ensure you subscribe with the likes of Riverford or Abel & Cole.
If food is in season, it's more likely to have been grown closer to home, meaning less food mileage and fewer emissions. Eating food with the seasons also helps to reconnect us with nature's cycle and to really celebrate and appreciate the time of year we're in. It also has a number of health benefits. Enjoy strawberries in high summer when they're red, ripe and sweet – rather than when they're watery and tasteless in winter.
Vote with your wallet and spend money in incredible eateries whose green credentials match the quality of their food. Ethical and sustainable restaurants aren't quite 10-a-penny (yet), but there are plenty more than there were five years ago. Try visiting The Duke of Cambridge, the UK's first Soil Association certified pub, or Trawler Trash – where sustainably sourced lesser known fish are championed instead of the overfished usuals.
And when you DO eat meat – yep you guessed it – make it organic. Industrial agriculture, particularly the meat industry is one of THE most polluting in the world – using vast amounts of water, emitting vast emissions, and destroying huge swathes of land. Opt for grass fed, organic, sustainably produced meat and not only will it taste better, it's more nutritious too. Try Field & Flower for monthly meat boxes.
So there you have it – five easy ways to make the switch to organic. What's that I hear? The sound of you grabbing the nearest canvas bag and darting to the greengrocers? The world will thank you for it, and so do I.

Comparative phylogenetic methods, often based on stochastic evolutionary models, are fundamental to our understanding of phenotypic evolution and diversification. Abiotic changes and biotic interactions are thought to play a major role in these evolutionary processes, yet they haven't explicitly been accounted for in comparative phylogenetic models. I will present recent developments aimed at bridging this gap. In particular, I will present models that allow testing the role of abiotic variables on rates of speciation, extinction and phenotypic evolution, as well as models that allow testing the role of species interactions -- such as competitive, mutualistic, and antagonistic interactions – on phenotypic evolution. I will then present applications of these new phylogenetic comparative methods to empirical datasets. Our results suggest that climate played a major role in driving evolutionary rates, with faster phenotypic evolution in cool climates, and faster diversification in warm climates. They also point to the crucial role of competitive character displacement and biogeographic history in explaining the patterns of variation in phenotypic diversity that we observe today. I will end by discussing future directions in the development of phylogenetic comparative methods.
