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 ….

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."

People usually base their happiness on things that are important to them: marriage, children, wealth, prestige, health, power, sex, pleasure, leisure, revenge, or a variety of other things |||READ MORE ….

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) 

Psalm 91 assures us that God can protect us from anything. But it doesn't promise invincibility, nor does it free us from personal responsibility |||READ MORE ….
