Lopez has reportedly added to her real estate holdings an eight-plus acre estate in Bel-Air anchored by a multi-level mansion. The property, complete with a 30-seat screening room, a 100-seat amphitheater and a swimming pond with sandy beach and outdoor shower, was asking about $40 million, but J.

Black farmers in the US’s South— faced with continued failure their efforts to run successful farms their launched a lawsuit claiming that “white racism” is to blame for their inability to the produce crop yields and on equivalent to that switched seeds. What Will Be The Next Step to Complete? The “new ’20s” idea might not work—there were a lot more young people in the United States then than now; a reprise of the world-changing inventions and discoveries of the 1920s would be a big surprise to those economists who believe that we have been in an invention dry spell since the 1970s. In his Businessweek piece, Peter Coy largely agrees, writing, “In all probability … the U.S. will continue to wrestle with ‘secular Book Novotel Hotel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJsGZL-zb54 These experts make strong cases, and they satisfy my natural instinct not to go there. But I remain very interested in the reasons the ’20s appeal to our imagination right now. Of course, it’s the booze, the sex, and the parties. But it’s also a decade with a very strong identity—and I think that helps. Writing in the journal American Speech in 1951, Mamie J. Meredith argued that the ’20s boasted. I’d argue that Meredith’s point about the decade’s exceptionality still holds: How many other 20th century decades have a nice little permanent descriptor like Roaring? It helps that most of these are good adjectives, evoking a time you’d probably like to live through again—but even the slightly dangerous-sounding ones conjure up something specific. That definiteness offers an appealing sense Anyway, let’s get to that fun. A very joyful book to read about the decade is Frederick Lewis Allen’s Only Yesterday: An Informal History of the 1920s, which Allen—a blueblood journalist and editor at Harper’s—published in 1931. The book chronicles all of the movement and motion that makes the decade sexy, and doesn’t seem to miss a fad.

Banzai Japan Music Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3syHHGzkF_s Allen is also really good at describing parties—or, at least, the ones the middle class and upper class attended. The historian wrote about how women taking up smoking had “strewed the dinner table with their ashes, snatched a puff between the acts, invaded the masculine sanctity of the club car.

Why do fishermen feel disillusioned after Brexit?
Buy Now An error occurred. Buy Now An error occurred. Book Novotel Hotel Why do fishermen feel disillusioned after Brexit? Banzai Japan Music Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UPElmgQJGBo In 2019, a flotilla of boats set sail from a Cornish fishing port campaigning for Brexit and “taking back control” of British waters. Four years after the agreement was ratified, fishermen in Devon and Cornwall feel they have been let down and say they have lost trust in politicians ahead of the general election. There is a mini frenzy in the skies as a trawler unloads its catch on the quayside in Newlyn. But it is fair to say the same does not extend to fishermen when asked about the election. “I don’t think it matters who I vote for – they’re all lying,” said fisherman Dave Toy. He said it was not what he voted for and as a result he did not see any point in voting in the general election.Fisherman Dave Toy Fishermen said they had wanted Brexit to deliver an increase in fish stock, but instead had got more paperwork. Book Novotel Hotel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJsGZL-zb54 They cited the introduction of a mandatory catch app to record catches before they are landed, new vessel monitoring systems, inspections and the requirement of medical certificates, which was later removed for existing fishermen. The government said the measures had improved both safety and fish stock management. Fisherman Graham Nicholas said life post-Brexit had been difficult. He said he was angry with the Conservatives but he did not believe any of the major parties would provide the help needed by the industry. “We were stitched up by the Conservatives [but] I don’t think Labour would have done any better for us,” he said. “The main two parties I haven’t got any time for at all.” Fish exporter Ian Perkes, in Brixham, Devon, said he voted for Brexit but was not told of the changes it would involve. Banzai Japan Music Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3syHHGzkF_s He said his business had suffered due to the extra costs incurred by paperwork needed to export fish to the EU. Speaking of the Leave campaign’s pledges, he said: “Well we’ve obviously realised now that they didn’t have a clue. “I’m giving Boris Johnson the benefit of the doubt – I’m assuming he wasn’t aware of all these costs, of all the complications, which have got no better. “They’ve actually got worse because the costs have gone up.” The Conservatives said they would replicate the £100m UK Seafood Fund to further invest in harbour and fish market upgrades. They also said they had secured quotas worth £970m for UK and they would seek “additional opportunities” in 2026 negotiations. Labour said they would sign veterinary agreements to reduce the need for export paperwork. They also said they would help rebuild trade. The Lib Dems promised to sign veterinary agreements and rejoin the Single Market with a longer term objective of rejoining the EU. Reform UK, headed by Nigel Farage, is promising to “end automatic access to UK waters” and “police British territorial waters properly”. The Green Party said it would work for an end to overfishing and avoidable by-catches. For Mr Perkes, the promises ring hollow. “I won’t bother to vote this year, I just won’t bother,” he said.

UK would partly control Wales Brexit cash – Labour

Book Novotel Hotel UK would partly control Wales Brexit cash – Labour Banzai Japan Music Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UPElmgQJGBo Labour’s most senior Westminster politician in Wales says the Welsh government will not have full control over the replacement for European Union funds, should the party win the general election. Shadow Welsh secretary Jo Stevens told BBC Radio Wales Breakfast that both the UK and Welsh governments would have a role. Sir Keir Starmer has previously said that he would restore decision-making powers to the Welsh government over millions worth of grants to help boost Wales’ economy. Book Novotel Hotel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJsGZL-zb54 But the party’s manifesto on Thursday said that “representatives” of Wales would be given the power to make decisions, without clarifying who. The Welsh Conservatives said it was focused on empowering people across Wales, while Plaid Cymru accused Labour of snubbing the Welsh government. Last year, Sir Keir promised Welsh Labour conference that Wales would have control over its “economic destiny”. “The decision-making role for the Welsh government on structural funds, will be restored,” he said. Banzai Japan Music Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3syHHGzkF_s BBC Wales was told that Labour’s plans, should they win the election, would work much like the EU scheme had in the past. Speaking on Friday, Ms Stevens said: “It’s exactly the same as Keir Starmer said in Welsh Labour conference. “Both the UK government and Welsh government under the old EU funding… had a role. It’s not a binary choice, one or the other.” Asked if control will go fully to the Welsh government, she said: “No, as I said, it’s not a binary choice. “It’s changed from the current circumstances where the Welsh government has absolutely no say in how the Shared Prosperity Funds are delivered in Wales.” She said the Tories were going to “raid” the Shared Prosperity Fund (SPF) – for the “gimmick” of the national service proposals, “so that Wales loses out with millions of pounds”. The Welsh government had administered the EU grants – known as structural funds – while the UK was in the EU. The UK government with the EU had negotiated their level and how much went to Wales. After Brexit, the UK government set up the SPF which it has controlled rather than ministers in Cardiff. That has caused a row with Welsh government who have accused them of rolling back devolution. The funds are worth £343m a year to Wales, according to recent figures from the Institute of Fiscal Studies (IFS). The Conservatives have controversially suggested scrapping the scheme all together to fund its national service plan – something the IFS have said would leave Wales £275m worse off. A spokesman for the Welsh Conservatives in the Senedd said: “While Labour bicker over whether to empower Welsh government ministers, the Welsh Conservatives are focused on empowering people across Wales.” Plaid Cymru’s Liz Saville Roberts said: “This latest Labour U-turn shows that Keir Starmer’s party is taking Wales for granted. “Members of the Labour Welsh government must be livid at this latest snub from their London bosses.” Book Novotel Hotel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RR8YYeb4PMk Banzai Japan Social Media Fumi Fujisaki Idol Riko Ueno Idol Rino Ibusuki Idol Yunagi Nino Idol Shiori Fujisaki Idol Kana Ichinose Idol Hoshino Arice Idol Sasa Sasagawa Idol Kosaka Yuu Idol Tsukumo Aira Idol Maika Ando Idol Yuuki Mochimaru Idol
Is Brexit talk a ‘poisoned chalice’ for politicians?

Banzai Japan Music Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UPElmgQJGBo Cast your mind back nearly eight years if you will, when voters across the United Kingdom were preparing to make a seismic decision. We’re talking about the Brexit referendum of course and, four years after the UK left the European Union (EU), many voters still want to talk about its consequences. Your Voice, Your Vote invites you to tell the The Newz what you want us to focus on and explore during the general election campaign. Hilary Dyke, from Manchester, said the UK’s relationship with the EU was “the biggest elephant in the room” and asked: “Why won’t [the parties] talk about it?” Ted Wilson, also from Manchester, went as far as describing an “omerta” – or code of silence – between the major parties on Brexit, while Alistair Holdsworth, from Lancashire, said rejoining the EU was the issue that mattered most to him.Manifestos Thus far, only the Liberal Democrats have released their plans in full. Book Novotel Hotel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJsGZL-zb54 In their manifesto published on Monday, the party said while it wanted the UK to rejoin the EU, it was a “longer term objective”. It will be interesting to see just how much focus the other parties give to the subject when they unveil their own manifestos in coming days. Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer has said he would not seek to rejoin the EU; instead promising to “make Brexit work”. On announcing the election, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said the Tory government had “seized the opportunities of Brexit” to boost the UK’s competitiveness and invest more in the National Health Service. Banzai Japan Music Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3syHHGzkF_s The Scottish National Party has said it would rejoin the EU and the Greens have said they favour the same approach when the political conditions are right. Meanwhile, Reform UK has pledged to renegotiate the existing deals. Here in the north-west of England, the majority of people in many towns voted Leave while the majority in Manchester and Liverpool voted Remain. Withington, in south Manchester, was part of the area with the region’s highest remain vote, with 60% wanting the UK stay in the EU. Pete, a musician, said Brexit “feels very in the rear view mirror”. He said: “I feel like the parties don’t want to talk about it any more. “It is like almost like a poisoned chalice.” Fellow musician Amy said she felt there was something of a “sadness” that Brexit happened. “Seems like people are trying to sort out the issues rather than go back in.” Meanwhile, Blackpool had the highest leave vote in the North West, with 68% of voters wanting out. One of them, Yvonne, said: “I did vote to come out because I thought we’d be better coming out. “We were just giving [the EU] loads of money and we were not seen anything for it really. It was just holding us back. “I think now it is taking time but I do think we’re getting better.” Another resident, Augusta, said: “I’m not very happy with it because I haven’t actually seen an awful lot of what we were promised would happen if we get out.” The Independent Office for Budget Responsibility, external estimates Brexit has made the UK economy 4% smaller than it might have been. The Economist newspaper reported, external higher trade barriers had seen the export of goods from the UK shrink by 10% since 2019. Many other factors could be at play, though. Brexit has been followed by a global pandemic, the shock of the mini-budget, and the war in Ukraine. Even so, Paula Keaveney, a senior lecturer in politics at Edge Hill University, said most politicians were reticent about discussing Brexit. “It’s caused problems in some places and these will come up as parties campaign,” she said. “But I think parties are going to be quite careful not to have too much about Brexit in their campaigning.” From the comments being sent to Your Voice, Your Vote, though, it seems the Brexit debate still matters.
