JUST IMAGINE! Bundesliga Fans’ Move To Foil ‘Empty Stadiums’ Plan With Human Dummies

Fans of Bundesliga side Borussia Mönchengladbach have invented a concept that will make their beloved team feel their ‘presence’ in ’empty stadiums’ when the German top flight’s games restart behind closed doors later in May as planned.

According to a report in Time.com, the innovation is already getting popular among the Mönchengladbach supporters who are now paying €19 or $20.6 per head via an online portal to have their real images printed on cardboard which will occupy the Borussia Park Stadium seats in form of human dummies – to mimic fans presence even if in lifeless fashion, rather than ’empty stadium’.

Monchengladbach are currently fourth in the Bundesliga table and will first play away at Eintracht Frankfurt when the season returns, before hosting Bayer Leverkusen at the Burussia Park Stadium where their passionate home fans’ dummy images are expected to fill the stands and cheer them up |||READ MORE ….

MUST READ: ANDRÉ LEON TALLEY'S MEMOIR GETS EARLIER RELEASE DATE, PREVIEW THE DELAYED 'ABOUT TIME' MET EXHIBITION

André Leon Talley's memoir gets earlier release date

After a particularly controversial excerpt from former Vogue editor André Leon Talley's memoir was leaked, his publisher Ballantine is moving the release date.

RADIO CORONA DEBUTS IN ALGERIA TO COMBAT LIMIT ON FREE SPEECH

In Algeria, select rights groups have called out some authoritarian government for capitalizing on the shocking outbreak of the pandemic disease to limit free expression. The rights groups accused the authoritarian government of arresting activists and journalists.

However, in the North African part of Algeria, it doesn’t seem like the situation with the birth of Radio Corona. Radio Corona Internationale (RCI) kicked off last month, airing on both Facebook and Soundcloud. It airs a mix of music, news and runs commentary in two languages (French and Arabic).

Abdallah Benadouda the owner of RCI made known that the idea was conceived in an online conversation with his friends. While they laughed loudly, shared music, and talked about music, the idea came to him. He told his other friends that they could start a radio program instead of just streaming music |||READ MORE …

There are several definitions of happiness according to Merriam Webster, and the one that most Americans hold is "a pleasurable or satisfying experience."

AN ODE TO KRISTEN STEWART'S FLAT FOOTWEAR — AND UTTER LACK THEREOF — ON THE RED CARPET

Kristen Stewart, like many of us, has a complicated relationship with high heels. The shoes may look good, but they're also often tragically uncomfortable — and for Stewart, discomfort is rarely worth it.

For proof, one need not look any further than the Cannes Film Festival in 2018, when Stewart memorably took off her Christian Louboutins in the middle of the red carpet at a photocall before the "Blackkklansman" premiere. Though press around the initial event focused on the statements Stewart had made about the event's "sexist" shoe policy requiring women to wear heels, the truth is that she's long had a habit of opting to stay flat on her feet when those around her are tip-toeing around in stilettos. (And that year at Cannes wasn't even the first time she's gone totally barefoot at a fancy event, either — she, like many sane women would, chose to kick off her heels under her seat at the Venice Film Festival once all the walking-around and posing was done.) |||READ MORE …

Can You Die Before Your "Time"?

Some Christians are claiming that Psalm 91:3 promises them protection from “deadly pestilence” like the Covid-19.(1) 

If Christians never died from disease and the only passage in Scripture was Psalm 91, we could legitimately hold such a view. But they do, and it's not.(2)

Without supplying evidence, Trump says China has more coronavirus deaths than the U.S.

WASHINGTON — President Trump claimed on Friday that China was minimizing the number of deaths it has suffered from the coronavirus, disputing figures that showed the United States had suffered more fatalities from the disease.

According to a reputable coronavirus tracking tool compiled by the Johns Hopkins University, there have been more than 36,000 deaths in the United States from COVID-19, the respiratory disease caused by the coronavirus. The number of reported deaths in China, where the pandemic originated in December 2019, currently stands at 4,632.

Is It Safe To Order Takeout During The Coronavirus Outbreak?

As the coronavirus continues to spread, restaurants across the country are shutting their doors to dine-in customers (and sometimes being forced to do so). Every place from P.F. Chang’s to Chipotle is sending out emails to patrons offering free delivery and ensuring guests that they are taking proper precautions to adhere to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention coronavirus containment guidelines. Postmates and DoorDash are offering contactless drop-off options and lower delivery fees. And grocery stores are continuously restocking their shelves.

But in this moment of social distancing and other anti-transmission precautions, what types of food precautions should we be following? Is takeout safe to order?

Thus far, experts have said there isn’t any reason to believe the coronavirus can be spread through food. But what about the containers and bags that takeout enters our homes in? |||READ MORE …

KNOW YOUR WALK TYPE

Some school of thought submits “dress the way you would want to be addressed”. Good one. But let me shock you with this, if I may; it’s now a research fact that the way you walk also has a lot to do with your health and personality.

“Momentary Characterizations” about your walk pattern is associated with persons of poor health, sudden or organized intent to either keep to a given rule, satisfy self or a group of persons. Persons that fall within this category are often on a mission of some sort. E.g.  Drunkards and the sick belong here. Perhaps, we should kick it off from here as we highlight walk types considered mostly as health induced:

1. THE WRAPPED UP IN THOUGHT.  Persons in this category can’t walk around without simultaneously buried in thought. They’re always prone to all kind of risks while walking. To them, as long as their movement is unhindered nothing else in the world matters |||READ MORE …

Surviving in these COVID-19 times

It is 2020 and this year has been brutal so far for so many. As I sit here writing, we are going through a pandemic that has people dying and people holding on to their lives. I won't try to explain COVID-19 because I assume we have all heard enough and understand the risks and the current impact of the virus. It has kept most of us in our homes with little or no social interaction, and has yielded the term "social distancing". I will however share the tips below on social distancing from the CDC.

As a fitness enthusiast and world traveller, this impacts me in the same way it impacts everyone else, but it also means the things that I spent a lot of my time doing or planning (the gym and planes) are no-go areas. If you are anything like me, you have had to come up with new ways to still enjoy at least some of those interests in a safe manner.

On Instagram, I have been sharing daily routines that you can do at home or anywhere really.

How to Use Digital Tools to Remember and Celebrate Your Long-Term Relationship

As humans, we thrive on relationships, and that is why we always want to remember the good times as these connections continue to grow. Luckily, in this increasingly digital age, you’re connected more now than ever. With apps and tools, we can celebrate our love for the world to see — or not — whichever way you prefer. Let’s look at some neat apps and fun ideas for celebrating your long-term love.

Digital Scrapbooks

Some people say that we are too obsessed with our phones and taking pictures, but there are so many sweet memories in life, and in our relationships, that they must absolutely be captured so we can remember the good times and even the adverse ones. The photos that we share on social media perfectly capture the love that you and your partner have created, so celebrate them!

Even if you take most of your pictures with your cell phone, you can still print them out and decorate your living space with your memories by taping them up, framing them, or even using them to resurface a table or desk. You can also display your photos in a digital picture frame that allows you to connect your phone or a memory card so you can see an endless stream of photos |||READ MORE …

ONE DAY AT A TIME

Last week was rather rough. I suffer from seasonal allergies so you can just imagine that every symptom started to bring out the paranoia in me. And although I’ve limited the amount of news I consume, I still had the tightest chest and at times felt like I could not breathe. I was finding myself feeling extremely worried for Sean. Sean works for Amazon and is not a person that stresses or worries easily and well, if he says he’s a bit stressed that’s a major thing to hear. I’m proud of him for being the person who spoke up and for being the person who is now in charge of all the social distancing efforts at his job. He is stressed because with everything going on, he still has to do his job which is already demanding. But if there is anyone who can assist in the safety of his employees it is him because he does not play politics. He is honest and good luck trying to change his mind about something once it has been made up. We came up with a system that we both agreed to when he gets home from work so that has helped.

I’ve had to talk myself down more than I can count but I find that this scripture “For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind” said multiple times then taking a deep breath has helped to calm the anxiety.

Instead of us, I say me.

Hearing daily about friends being exposed and having to quarantine and knowing that a lot of them can’t quarantine properly doesn’t help. Hearing of health professionals who have lost their lives trying to save others breaks my heart. I’m praying hard and find myself with tears running down my face as I pray for everyone. For people I know, for people I don’t know; I just want us all to conquer COVID-19 |||READ MORE ….

IMG IS NOW SCOUTING MODELS ON TIKTOK

In 2014, IMG Models introduced We Love Your Genes. It's an Instagram account, a hashtag, a scouting program and a broader strategy the agency created to discover fresh faces that it can develop and eventually add to its roster, all rolled into one. And it's had success stories — from Diana Silvers (a break-out in 2019's "Booksmart") to runway regulars like Lameka Fox and Gizele Oliveira.

A lot about social media has changed since then, from the way it looks to how we use it to what the big platforms are. Jeni Rose, SVP at IMG Models, tells Fashionista that the agency had built out a team that works on finding talent on Instagram over the past few years. (By its estimate, a fourth of its recruitment has been done through social media over the last five years.) And it was one of them that brought up TikTok as an opportunity.

"[They] said 'You know, I really think we should start looking at TikTok, because that truly is the demographic and Instagram has gotten so curated that it doesn't look the way it [did] give years ago, when we began scouting there,'" she remembers. "All of us thought, 'We're too old for TikTok. How does that work?'" |||READ MORE …

41 Transit Workers Dead: Crisis Takes Staggering Toll on Subways

The M.T.A. has been criticized for its response to the outbreak. Now a staffing shortage has made it difficult to keep even a diminished system running.

At least 41 transit workers have died, and more than 6,000 more have fallen sick or self-quarantined. Crew shortages have caused over 800 subway delays and forced 40 percent of train trips to be canceled in a single day. The average wait for some trains, usually four minutes, has ballooned to 40 minutes.

Covid 19: Popular Billionaire Prophet, Jeremiah Fufeyin, Facilitates N300M Charity

 In a recent interview with StrokesAfrica.com, Prophet Jeremiah Fufeyin is quoted to have given back tithe and offering to Nigerians by way of charity, through his Jeremiah Omoto Fufeyin (JOF) Foundation. The Man of God said that there is no better time for Men Of God to give back to members, followers and society as a whole, than this COVID-19 Isolation period. He stressed that it is very insensitive for Pastors to suggest the collection of tithe and offering from members through an online services and banking as everyone is obviously going through a tough times.

In light of this, Prophet Fufeyin has been seen giving back to Nigerians since the lockdown kicked off, through the JOF Foundation.
