A few years later , inspired by Madame de Genlis 's Adèle et Théodore ( 1782 ) , Trimmer commissioned sets of illustrations of the Bible for which she provided the commentary ; she also published print / commentary sets of ancient history and British history . These various sets were very popular and could be purchased together ( commentary and prints ) or individually . The prints were usually hung on walls or bound into books .

Former Spice Girls member Mel B opened up about her 2014 suicide attempt in her new memoir, Brutally Honest.
In an excerpt from the book, published by The Sun, the 43-year-old singer recalled a time she "took nearly 200 aspirin pills" in the hopes of ending her life and, subsequently, her marriage to Stephen Belafonte. At the time, Mel was filming live shows for The X Factor in the United Kingdom.
The night of her suicide attempt, she had come home from dinner with Belafonte and was scheduled to take to the red carpet to do press ahead of the last weekend of that installment of the singing competition series.
"I'll be wearing a beautiful dress, my hair and make-up will be perfect. But if you want the absolute truth, I don't care about any of it. My life is a mess and I want out," she wrote.
In the published excerpt, Mel recounted sitting in the bathroom of a home she rented in London with the bottle of aspirin in-hand. She detailed popping the pills into her mouth one-by-one.
"As each pill goes into my mouth, I ask myself: 'Are you sure?' And I take another one. Ten, 20, 50, 100. 'Are you sure?'," she wrote. "One hundred and 20. 'Are you sure?' 150. 'Are you sure?'"
The '90's icon went on to reveal that although she'd accomplished so much and achieved such fame and glory, she was left feeling "battered" and "ugly".
"Behind the glitter of fam, I felt emotionally battered, estranged from my family. I felt ugly and detested by the very man who once promised to love and protect me, my husband and manager Stephen," Mel continued, alleging that after a decade together her now-estranged husband threatened to destroy her career and family with a series of sex tapes of them he'd filmed.
Mel said she wrote "frantic, disjointed noted" to her older daughter, Phoenix. Shortly after she swallowed her 200th pill, however, she realized suicide wasn't the answer.
"I knew I didn't want to go anywhere...Suicide was not the answer. I had to make my life count. I had to get to a hospital. I had to get those pills out of my stomach before anything happened," she wrote.
She escaped the bathroom by pushing against the jammed door, which left her with bruises later visible on The X Factor UK.
"I can still remember the fear, panic and absolute confusion in my head. Then everything started to go black and I collapsed to my knees. I could feel the life in me starting to drain away," Mel recalled.
She woke up in the hospital and was confronted by Phoenix, who demanded to know why she'd attempted suicide. Mel called this "the saddest moment of my life." After the being released from intensive care, where she was treated for damage to her liver and kidneys, the musician appeared on The X Factor UK with her bruises on display – a conscious choice on her part.
"I would stand proud in this stunning white dress, the marks of my agony all over me. I asked for my hair to be pulled right back from my face. I needed to be seen. I needed all those bruises to be seen," she wrote. "My message to the world and to my husband was going to be VERY CLEAR. I wanted people out there watching to be my witnesses. I took off my vast, square-cut diamond wedding ring. A ring I'd worn on The X Factor a few weeks before to show the world what a solid couple Stephen and I were."
Mel said in the book she felt like "Wonder Woman" after she delivered her statement on the show.
"I've sent my message to Stephen," she said. "There's no going back. I'm going to leave him, get a divorce. I'm going to be free."
The couple separated in December 2016 and Mel filed for divorce in March 2017. Their divorce battle waged on until December of that year. |

The Oluwo of Iwo in Osun State, Oba Dr. Abdulrasheed Adewale Akanbi, has urged traditional rulers to desist from worshiping their heritages but rather turn them to tourism that can generate revenue and also create jobs for the youths.
He added that deities are not meant to be worshiped due to their insignificance in the administration of communities stressing that, “They are just mere symbols and not gods as claimed by some people. ”
The Oluwo stated this while in an exclusive interview with ROYAL NEWS in his palace on Tuesday. He said: “I will never join them to worship deities. Who are even the deities? Let me tell you, if Oshun, Moremi or Oya among others were to be alive today and they come to my Palace, they will prostrate for me. So why will I be worshiping them?.
“It is time for all traditional rulers to go back to God and lead their subjects in the ways of God. Being an Oba or King does not necessarily mean that people should be fearing you. ”
He however advised monarchs to ensure that their cultures are embedded into religions practice in order to promote unity, peace and development in the society.
Speaking on the state of the nation’s economy, Oba Adewale urged the Federal government to dwell more into industrialization rather than clamouring that everybody should go to farm.
According to him, “I believe that if more industries are attracted into the country, more unemployed youths will be gainfully employed while more funds will be generated by the government. How many people can farming employ? Must all of us become farmers in Nigeria?
“Industrialization will consume less land and generate more jobs than farming that will consume large land and generate few jobs. All what farming can provide in menial jobs.”
He however urged President Muhammadu Buhari to look inward and persuade Nigerians in diaspora to encourage their friends as well as foreign investors to come and establish factories in Nigeria.

The construction of the Great Western Railway during the Victorian era allowed for an influx of tourists to Cornwall from across Great Britain . Well into the Edwardian era and interwar period , Cornwall was branded as a rural retreat , a " primitive land of magic and romance " , and as an " earlier incarnation of Englishness , a place more English than an England ravaged by modernity " . Cornwall , the United Kingdom 's only region with a subtropical @-@ like climate , became a centre for English tourism , its coastline dominated by resort towns increasingly composed of bungalows and villas . Tourists visiting Cornwall are called <unk> by locals , a Cornish language word for insects , referring to the creatures that the visitors resemble when swarming Cornwall 's resorts . John Nichols Thom , or Mad Tom , ( 1799 – 31 May 1838 ) was a Cornishman self @-@ declared messiah who , in the 19th century led the last battle to be fought on English soil , known as the Battle of <unk> Wood . While not akin to the Cornish rebellions of the past , he did attract some Cornish support as well as mostly Kentish labourers , although his support was primarily of religious followers .

Hasbro has turned a lot of its most popular toy brands into multimedia franchises in recent years. The list of toys-turned-movies includes Transformers, G.I. Joe, and Power Rangers. And they’ve even turned some board games into movies or shows, like Clue and Ouija, which did well enough to get a sequel. But a TV show based on a toy oven? That’s definitely breaking new ground.
And now it’s happening, over at Netflix. The streaming service will soon launch Easy-Bake Battle: The Home Cooking Competition, which according to its official plot synopsis is “inspired by Hasbro’s iconic Easy-Bake Oven, featuring skilled and ultra clever home cooks, all with a ton of heart and soul, facing off and using their most ingenious kitchen hacks to prove who can make the easiest, fastest, and most delicious food.”
The Easy-Bake Oven is one of the most popular toys of all time. Introduced by Kenner in 1963, it’s still produced to this day. The original models baked various treats from packaged mixes using the heat from a 100-watt light bulb.
More recent versions of the toy, which is now made by Hasbro, updated the inner-workings to contain a more conventional heating element. (The device has tiny slots on its sides to insert and remove the baked goods without sticking a child’s sensitive fingers inside a working oven.)
Here is how Netflix describes the premise of their new Easy-Bake Battle:
In each fast-faced and hack-packed episode, host Antoni Porowski (Queer Eye) invites three imaginative home cooks into the Easy-Bake Kitchen. Over the course of two rounds, they’ll go head-to-head, racing against the clock in both savory and sweet challenges, each based on relatable food-filled life situations that require them to pull off a fast and clever meal within a designated time, and making it as easy as possible! Cooks will compete for $25,000 in each battle, with the winner moving on for the chance to win up to $100,000!
So they don’t specifically say the contestants have to cook things using an Easy-Bake Oven, but if this show actually includes people making $25,000 baked goods in children’s toys, I am totally watching (and possibly buying an Easy-Bake Oven and then auditioning to get on Season 2). And then I want a game show based on Hungry Hungry Hippos where people have to feed as much food as they possibly can to real, live hippos. That’s a can’t-miss concept.
Easy-Bake Battle: The Home Cooking Competition premieres on Netflix on October 12.

Once riders are seated and restrained , the train is tilted backwards into a ' lay @-@ down ' position and dispatched . The train travels backwards out of the station , turns left and travels up the 115 @-@ foot ( 35 m ) lift hill at a 33 degree angle . Once the train reaches the top of the lift hill , it dips down into a twist ( called a " Lie @-@ to @-@ Fly " ) that turns the trains upside down into a flying position where riders face the ground . After the twist , the train travels down the first drop , reaching speeds of 51 mph ( 82 km / h ) . Riders then proceed through an over banked Horseshoe Curve element , passing the queue area . Following the Horseshoe , the train enters a " Fly @-@ to @-@ Lie " element that turns riders back to a lay @-@ down position . After the banked turn , the ride enters the 66 @-@ foot ( 20 m ) tall vertical loop , where riders experience 4 @.@ 3 G 's . The train then goes into another " Lie @-@ to @-@ Fly " element . Following the loop , riders enter another turn and hit two consecutive inline twists . Following the inline twists , the train enters the final helix followed by the final " Fly @-@ to @-@ Lie " element . Afterwards , the train is slowed to a stop on the brake run before returning to the station .

No more than five years ago the only way a person could play slots was to get in a car and drive to a casino. Sure, there might have been a slots machine in a bar down the street but you certainly wouldn’t be able to find the selection that you can find in a casino, and for any real slots player it’s all about selection and variety. But for a lot of people the only way to get to a casino is to drive for hours, not every city has a casino after all, and in some areas slot machines aren’t allowed anywhere else. เว็บบอล
When the internet came along it was obvious to all of us slots players that the ability to use it to provide slots to people at home was definitely going to eventually happen. It just couldn’t happen quickly enough. Luckily, it wasn’t long before the first online casino started showing up, and slots fans were able to spin the reels right in front of their computers.
This online slots revolution changed the slots world in a couple key ways. First, people saved a lot of money. Not having to get in the car and drive to a casino meant that slots players didn’t have to spend money on gas. What’s more players didn’t have to spend money on casino food. The cash that slots goers were able to save from driving and restaurant food spending was now available for reinvestment into the reels. This meant being able to play longer. And playing longer means more chances to win.
The other thing that changed was that players were now able to try many more kinds of slots in a shorter period of time. This gave slots players the opportunity to improve their slots skills over a wider range of machines which also eventually led to more winnings.
The bottom line is that online slots gave slots players the chance to play more and improve their skills, which led to more winnings. Today, online slots players are winning more often and consistently winning bigger pots. Being able to play anytime anywhere, and in the comfort of your own home is also an advantage of online slots that has really changed the slots world. Not all slots players enjoy the atmosphere of a casino, yes it’s exciting but if you like to play a lot of slots, spending all those hours in a casino can be a little stressful. Playing slots online in the comfort of your home means you can focus more on developing your skills. Online slots meant more winnings for more players and that was a good thing. |
