Giving Blood = Giving Life


Giving blood is an amazing thing a person can do. Why? Because people who have anaemia, cancer, blood disorders, sickle cell, and other illnesses need blood transfusion. Some people even need regular blood transfusion to live.

Think about it: giving blood as part ............ everyone’s life; something they done .............. a regular basis, like eating ........... a favourite restaurant. What kind of difference does that make? Well, a donation might make the difference between life and death for nearly five million people who receive blood transfusions every year.

Giving blood is simple and convenient. It only takes about an hour and you can make the donation at a donor center. Afterwards, you will feel good about yourself.

Most people don’t think they’ll never need a blood transfusion, but many do. Blood is something money can’t buy. One may give a newborn, a child, a mother or a father, a brother, or a sister another chance at life. In fact, this simple action may help to save lives.

The blood donation process is much quicker and easier than you think. Giving blood will not decrease your strength and it’s certainly the right thing to do.

Prince Andrew hires 'formidable' lawyer amid FBI probe

into Jeffrey Epstein links

By Lee Brown

New York Post - March 8, 2020 | 1:13pm

-

Prince Andrew has hired Britain's “most formidable”

extradition lawyer to protect him against an FBI inquiry into his

late pedophile pal Jeffrey Epstein, according to reports.

The Duke of York was publicly slammed by US

authorities in January for repeatedly failing to cooperate with

the ongoing investigation into Epstein's alleged sex trafficking

ring.

He is still so worried about being forced to talk, he is

now hiring an “eminent team of lawyers” to “fend off” the FBI,

according to the Daily Telegraph.

The 60-year-old royal's legal team is led by Clare

Montgomery, one of the UK's leading extradition lawyers who

has represented world leaders, including former dictator

Augusto Pinochet, the Telegraph says.

Montgomery charges $1,300-an-hour and has been

described as “the most formidable member of the bar,” the

Telegraph said, referring to a chamber of the British legal

system.

Andrew also directly hired Gary Bloxsome, a criminal

defense solicitor who works international cases — and is a

crisis-management specialist, the Telegraph says. “He's as

sharp as a blade, he's absolutely brilliant,” one acquaintance

told the paper.

Assembling the team shows just how “hugely

seriously” the duke is taking the threat of legal moves to make

him talk, says the Telegraph, which believes it is the first time

the royal family has needed to use such a powerful team of

criminal lawyers.

Andrew was forced to step down from royal duties last

November over his disastrous attempts to justify his ongoing

friendship with Epstein even after he was convicted of sex

crimes.

The royal has however always vehemently denied

knowing about Epstein's depraved behavior. He also denies

knowing Virginia Roberts Giuffre, who says she was made to

have sex with the prince three times, starting when she was just

17.

Epstein, 66, hanged himself in a Lower Manhattan

lockup Aug. 10 while awaiting trial on federal! sex trafficking

charges.

Buckingham Palace told The Sun it does not represent

Andrew as he is no longer a working royal.

MEG PECKED

Harry WON'T make up with William despite Diana statue unveiling as he 'can't afford to upset Meghan', biographer claims


1§ Despite the brother's united front at the unveiling of the statue honouring their late mother Princess Diana, Harry made a sharp exit after the ceremony.

2§ The pair seemed in sync as they tugged the green curtain draped over the touching artwork but he left just 20 minutes later after raising a glass of bubbly to Di.

3§ He dashed back to the US to be with his wife Meghan Markle, Archie, and newborn daughter Lilibet - which royal commentator Angela Levin suggested is because "he does what he's told."

4§ But the author isn't holding her breath for a reconciliation, as she told The Andrew Pierce Show, "I think whatever Harry decides Meghan will change it."

5§ "She will make it a negative thing to happen, and I don't see that there will be a long-term progress there.

6§ "I think there will be some nasty comments about it, perhaps William pulled the green cloth harder than Harry," Ms Levin joked.

7§ "Seriously, it is a very big thing, what Harry has done, said about William, the Royal Family, and his father, and the Queen."

8§ Prince Harry and Wills have not seen each other since Prince Philip's funeral in April and have been embroiled in a bitter feud about Harry's bombshell comments about the Royal's in interviews with chat show host Oprah.

9§ "You can't just brush over that. You can put a plaster on it for half __ hour but you can't really get rid of that unless there's a huge amount of conversations over a long period of time."

10§ "And Harry does what he's told," Ms Levin continued.

11§ "If Meghan tells him how __ make a statement, he'll make it, and that's it.

12§ "He can't afford now to upset Meghan because he would feel such a failure and a misery and she'd give him what for, really. I think there's no chance __ that."

13§ Diana's sons were seen laughing and joking on Thursday afternoon surrounded by their late mother's family in the Sunken Garden for the unveiling.

14§ The pair even mirrored each other's body language as they strolled in, before being welcomed by Jamie Lowther-Pinkerton, their former private secretary, who is godfather to Prince George.

15§ Sculptor Ian Rank-Broadley, the mastermind behind the bronze memorial said Diana "was an icon who touched the lives of people right around the world so it has been a privilege to work alongside Prince William and Prince Harry."

16§ Harry and William chose some of Diana's favourite flowers to be planted by the statue, including 100 forget-me-nots, 200 roses, 300 tulips and 500 lavender plants.

(2º§) The older version contained six salt and vinegar packs, six cheese and onion, six ready salted and six prawn cocktail.

(3º§) Missing from the 22-size bags are one salt and vinegar and one prawn cocktail.

(4º§) However, other snack makers are also being skimpy, a Sun investigation has found.

(5º§) Multipacks of Smiths' Frazzles and Chipsticks have shrunk from eight to six but remain about £1. And packs of KP's Space Raiders have also gone from eight to six while keeping their £1 price.

(6º§) KP has made each bag 1.2g heavier, but the total multipack is more than 16g down. And £1 Roysters T-bone steak-flavoured bubble chips now come in packs of five rather than six.

(7º§) Experts warned families to watch out for the sneaky and widespread shrinkflation.

(8º§) MoneySavingExpert's Oli Townsend said: "When products get smaller but prices stay the same, shoppers rightly feel short-changed.

(9º§) "If your favourite brand has got smaller but the price hasn't, consider 'downshifting' by dropping one brand level from your usual choice - if you can't tell the difference, stick with the cheaper one."

(10º§) Walkers, Smiths and KP Snacks did not comment.

(1º§) Children are turning their backs on sugary drinks, with the numbers drinking them falling by a third over the past nine years, a survey suggests.


(2º§) About half of children do not drink them - and those that do are drinking fewer than children in 2008-09 did. The shift has contributed to an overall reduction in sugar consumption.


(3º§) However, all age groups still consumed above the recommended levels, according to the nine-year analysis of the UK National Diet and Nutrition Survey.


(4º§) But on other measures, diet has not improved, the report, from the Food Standards Agency and Public Health England, said.


(5º§) Fruit and vegetable consumption remains largely unchanged and is still under the recommended five-a-day level. Fibre intake has fallen slightly, while vitamin and mineral consumption is down. And there has been little change in oily fish intake.


(6º§) Emer Delaney, of the British Dietetic Association, said she was pleased with the progress that has been made.


(7º§) She said the reduction in sugary drinks consumption was "important", adding: "It shows change can be made - and it is happening slowly, but surely."


(8º§) But she conceded more needed to be done to get people to increase fruit and vegetable consumption.


(9º§) "Frozen and tinned fruit and vegetables are just as good - we need to encourage people to use them as well as fresh products."


What about fruit and vegetables?


(10º§) The five-a-day message has been around for a long-time - the government campaign was launched in 2003. But it seems to be having little impact.


(11º§) Over the nine years there has been hardly any change in the amount people consume. Adults under 65 are eating around four portions a day on average. Older adults and children even less.


(12º§) The five-a-day campaign is based on advice from the World Health Organization, which recommends eating a minimum of 400g of fruit and vegetables a day to lower the risk of serious health problems, such as heart disease, stroke and some types of cancer.


(13º§) Five-a-day was chosen because it was viewed as realistic. Research has suggested that to get maximum benefit people should be eating twice that amount. Apples and pears, citrus fruits, salads and green leafy vegetables and vegetables, such as broccoli, cabbage and cauliflower were found to be best.

(1º§) Flamenco's trifecta of guitar music, vocals and dance ranks among Spain's most famous art forms. But in the country of its birth, this centuries-old craft that unites elegant physicality and raw human emotion is in danger of extinction.


(2º§) Spain's tablaos - traditional flamenco venues named after the wooden platforms upon which performers spin, sing and strum - were particularly hard-hit by pandemic lockdown restrictions. In tablaos , spectators rub shoulders at tightly spaced tables and performers remain close enough to maintain an electric connection to their audience, one that encourages improvisation and turns flamenco into a nearly collaborative act.


(3º§) The unique environment that fosters flamenco, though, presents serious challenges in the time of Covid-19. Shuttered for extended periods, the majority of Spain's tablaos remain empty.


(4º§) According to Juan Manuel del Rey, president of the Spanish Tablao Association, tablaos employ 95% of the flamenco dancers in Spain. Before the pandemic, the country's 50,000 yearly shows accounted for all but 5% of the world's flamenco performances. Without tablaos, flamenco is losing its stage to the world.


(5º§) Because tablaos don't have a specific license that recognise them as cultural providers, they're unable to receive needed support from the Spanish government, leaving both venues and performers scrambling for survival. A few venues have opened with limited capacity one or two nights a week, but many remain closed or have already closed permanently.


(6º§) It's not just the financial implications jeopardising the future of the form. Tablaos were designed to bring audiences and performers together, and without that connection, many flamenco artists struggle to maintain the fire that fuels flamenco's signature passion.


(7º§) To see deep emotions embodied in music and dance is, for many, the power of flamenco. In an age of global uncertainty, the art form remains as relevant as ever. If it can find a way to survive.
