A father’s love on Father’s Day…

A father’s love is so precious to his children.

One way I know this apart from having a late and dear friend of a loving father in my life, which I daily count my blessings for, we have the ultimate father God in heaven. Ultimate in as much as he always speaks to us in very many different ways when we pray to him. He gives us too the most precious thing that he possesses, and that is Jesus Christ, his son and our saviour.

Let’s Share the Restoration Gospel Message of Jesus, God loves Us…

God loves you and he wishes to talk to you through the spirit. We are privileged to bathe in the light of our Gospel’s restoration, which the young Joseph Smith encountered some 200 years ago, and it’s true, we receive new revelations daily as we pray to our heavenly father like Joseph did, and for that small mercy we are truly grateful….
When we pray to our heavenly father with sincerity, our rewards are tremendous, the restoration light that fills our souls is all the proof we need that our heavenly father does infact love us, and everything definitely becomes ‘alright’ walking along that straight and restored covenant pathway, and to make Jesus smile we just need to share the good news of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ to God’s children which we are so eager to do.
One way to prepare ourselves to do the great commission is to read Joseph Smith’s First Vision and receive that fantastic light also.

The Pearl of Great Price 1:17
upon me.
17 It no sooner appeared than I found myself delivered from the enemy which held me bound. When the light rested upon me I saw two Personages, whose brightness and glory defy all description, standing above me in the air. One of them spake unto me, calling me by name and said, pointing to the other—This is My Beloved Son. Hear Him!

we all have an important role to play in sharing the message of the Restoration of Jesus Christ, so let’s prepare ourselves to do do brethren and sisters, each and everyone of us is vitaly important in sharing God’s message and saving his children, blessings.

Let’s take a look at Jesus’ Easter Proclamation in June to know him better….

What actually did Jesus Christ go through during his crucifixion ?

Judas betrays Jesus with a kiss…..

He was betrayed by Judas Iscariot for thirty pieces of silver (Matt 26:14-16 KJV), and an interesting thing here is what 1 Timothy wrote…For the love of money is the root of all evil…..Grasping that great moral teaching about the evils of money and how it can corrupt the best of us, sowing that seed of greed in believers. It wasn’t long after this betrayal when the Sanhedrin came for him. Betrayed by the man who Jesus kissed on the cheek at the last supper, and another moral here is how people so close to Jesus can be a traitor deep down inside. This umbrellas into all believers in God , when weaknesses creep into our souls, sometimes knowingly, a lot of the time unknowingly.

Denied Jesus wasn’t just denied by most, he was denied by his most closest of friends.

Peter looks away as he denies Christ….

Peter denied Jesus when the woman accused him of being with Jesus, and Peter showed his denial by saying…woman I know him not…Wow! denying an innocent man in the hour of need really does make me feel like a traitor, and because of my denials I realise I need repentance more than ever now, to rid me of my shame, to rid believers of their shame. But to continually deny someone innocent and pure and good like Christ is, it’s no wonder that Peter cried bitterly when Jesus looked upon Peter, and yet Peter still denied him. What can I and my fellow believers learn form Peter’s behaviour, only that without repentance and that chance to say we’re sorry to the lord, no amount of tears that we shed could ever repair our damaged souls.

Accused So Jesus during his trial before crucifixion was accused of very many things by the chief priests of the Jews, and every time Jesus held his peace and said nothing.

Jesus falsely accused by his own people.

To be accused and ridiculed in front of the Roman authority, and yet Jesus didn’t say a word to defend himself. Every accusation was a lie, every charge was fabricated through evil, and still Jesus took every last word that they threw at him during his prosecution, and yet no reply back in defence. The truth was, no matter what Jesus would have said he knew that nothing was going to save him from crucifixion, and still those lies fell upon the ears of Pilate. Jesus Christ without doubt at this point where Mark 15:3 reads …and the chief priests accused him of many things: but he answered nothing….was certainly preparing himself as the sacrificial lamb, getting ready for the slaughter, where he was about to save mankind, even his accusers if they later would have the gall to repent and say sorry to heavenly father, and how absolutely ironic that scenario is, to be saved, to have the chance of entering into heaven, even the prosecution would have to repent, how many prosecutors did only god knows, the rest wont make it though as Jesus Christ is the only way to heaven from the Christian believers perspective…

Rejected (Luke 9:22) All believers know that Jesus Christ is the son of God, however, Peter was told to keep this fact to himself, for a while anyway. Why? well Jesus knew that between the time he was in the Garden of Gethsemane to the time of his crucifixion, he must….suffer many things….and be rejected….by his own people, knowing that shortly after his death he would be resurrected to be with our father God in heaven.

Jesus was also rejected earlier on in his ministry by his own people…….

If Peter told anybody between that time period just mentioned, somebody might have killed Jesus there and then and that definitely would have destroyed God’s plan of his son being the perfect once and for all sacrificial lamb, the final offering to God for the sins of the world. Peter, however, when he denied Christ was more to do with his fear of being killed himself, and not following Jesus’ command to ‘be quiet’ until his glory had come! To me as a disciple of Christ, I love the fact that Jesus now rests in peace, and is so very alive in my heart, like when he ministered on this planet in the Holy Land some two thousand years ago. We are in his peace as well, and what joy that brings too us.

Bound (Mark 15:1) When the high priests , elders and scribes decided to take Jesus to the governor, who was the Roman Pontius Pilate, to be tried, they didn’t just take Jesus along with them so he could move freely, but bound him then took him like he was a convicted villain. They paraded him to Pilate for all to see, like Jesus was some kind of dangerous being, capable of hurting people, like Barabbas, who was as we know a convicted thief and murderer and was set free by the people in place of Jesus Christ who hung on the cross instead. When believers in Christ see this treatment that he underwent, and knowing that he was totally innocent of any charges his accusers threw at him, I think that they may as well have bound an infant and taken a small child too be judged because at the end of the day Jesus Christ was as innocent as a little baby. This was the injustice and humiliation that the king of kings and lord of lords had to endure as his time for crucifixion and his resurrection drew ever nearer.

Scourged (John 19:1) The leaders of the Jews wanted Jesus crucified, and Pilate could not find any fault in him. He had Jesus scourged and dressed up in mocking attire in a bid to satisfy the blood thirsty mob, however, the Jewish leaders wanted Jesus crucified all the more. As Pilate sat looking at the crowd and looking at Jesus, he gave the order to lead him away to be crucified. It was nearly all over for Jesus, or in other words, very close to his entry into his father’s glory. As Jesus began to carry that rugged cross up Calvary, the pain that he suffered in order to save us believers was immense ,  where the nails would be soon driven into his already whipped and beaten body. Finally finishing with a spear through his side to speed up his death because of  the Jews Passover getting close to starting on that day, and Jesus’ blood dripped on the wood of the cross and floor, as the final sacrificial lamb hung there dying and bleeding for the sins of the world. My personal tears can only sooth Jesus’ wounds just a little , and this is why he let’s me now stand in his shadow, because of those tears. Learning about Jesus Christ, and why not start at his crucifixation……

Mocked (Matt 27:29) ….Hail the King of the Jews….rang from the mouths of the Roman soldiers, under the orders of their governor, Pontius Pilate. The blood at this point was pouring down his face from the crown of thorns which they pressed on his head.  After further humiliation and spitting at him, striking him on his head with the makeshift sceptre made of reed, they re-clothed him in his own clothes then lead him off to be crucified. This was certainly no dignified execution if there does exist such a thing, this was an act of total human degradation and inhumanity conceivable. The physical as well as mental anguish which our lord and saviour was undertaking too me was unimaginable. This was an act of murder at its most vilest, and yet at this point Jesus as he always had compassion upon his taunters and mockers and murderers.  His body whipped and battered and bleeding, and yet not overdone where he couldn’t carry his own cross, so the mocking could continue even upon his final breath hanging on a cross…..

Reviled (Matt 27:39) where Jesus was terribly criticised in a very abusive and angrily insulting manner.  So, as people walked past Jesus as he hung on the cross they reviled him in such a cruel way. Some of them laughing at him and telling him to come down from the cross if he was the son of god. Even the two thieves who hung on crosses either side of Jesus reviled him, heaping insults at him, as he was getting closer to meeting his maker and father in heaven. Contempt and anger spewing from their mouths, all directed out our innocent lamb Jesus Christ, and gall mixed with some pain deadener offered to Jesus , which he refused when he finally asked for water , very very close to the point of death and the start of glory. The sky became darker and darker the closer Jesus was nearing the end, and the only thing Christ felt towards the world was compassion and forgiveness.

The love God gives when believers repent…..

Repentance for Love…

you are invited …….

The world would be a dark place without peace ,happiness or safety without being able to repent. It’s the way I erase my past mistakes, in a personal way, and without that ‘repentance’ get out clause in my life, I know I would be very unhappy. I hope that you have a good ‘repentance’ system in your life as well. It surprises me when people can’t repent for some reason, and yet feel they are OK with God!

Jesus’ atonement pardons believers from wrongdoings and repentance is the key in freeing oneself, and the most beautiful thing is you actually free ‘yourself’, where you don’t need anyone else to release you like in prison and unlocking that cell, and outer door where you walk to your freedom.  Believers have their own key of freedom when they know and do repent of their sins. That preciousness of freedom and god’s children have the agency and personal choice too use their key of freedom any time they want too, anytime they repent.

As Satan tempts believers and if we consent to this , which happens alot, imprisons us, then through sincere repentance, we can get away from him and live a free and beautiful life….

‘DADDY, IS THIS GOLD?’ 

Skint dad finds solid-gold nugget worth £20k while walking with his daughters

Experts say the 20-ounce lump is genuineBy Nicola Stow14th May 2019, 11:52 amUpdated: 14th May 2019, 7:17 pm

A SKINT dad found a lump of gold worth £20,000 while walking with his family and their dog called Lucky.

He was walking on the outskirts of Bendigo, Australia, when his daughter stumbled across the nugget and asked: “Dad, is this gold?”

The dad-of-two, who wants to remain anonymous, told the Bendigo Advertiser: “I actually walked right past it but my daughter pretty much kicked it as she was walking.

“She then goes, ‘Dad, is this gold?’. I said, ‘I think it might be’.’’

He headed to the supermarket to weigh the gold and it came in at 20 ounces.

He said: “We couldn’t find anywhere to properly weigh it.

HARD TIMES

“We ended up taking it to the IGA and weighing it up there at the supermarket. They weren’t too happy that we were weighing it at the deli there.”

And the gold couldn’t have come at a better time for the cash-strapped family.

The dad added: “We’ve come on some tough times so it’s really good because we’ve been struggling financially. It couldn’t be better timing really.”

  • ‘Every vote will be counted’: New York Gov. Kathy Hochul addresses technical issues
    by Yahoo News Staff on 3 November 2026 at 16:50

    Election Day is here. Today, voters across the United States are heading to the polls to cast their ballots in the 2026 midterms. And with control of Congress up for grabs, the stakes are high for both parties as President Trump heads into his final two years in office.Democrats are seeking to regain control of both the House and Senate, while Republicans, who have held narrow majorities in both chambers since January 2025, are seeking to retain control.In the House, there are 435 seats. And while all of them are technically up for grabs, roughly 80% (or about 350 seats) are not considered competitive. The GOP currently holds 218 seats, compared with 214 held by Democrats. One seat is occupied by an independent (Rep. Kevin Kiley of California), and there are two vacancies (seats formerly held by GOP Rep. Tony Gonzales of Texas and Democratic Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick of Florida, who each resigned). To retake control of the House, Democrats would need a net gain of four seats. In the Senate, there are 100 seats, with 35 up for grabs and 12-or-so considered competitive. Republicans currently hold 53 seats compared with 45 held by Democrats. There are two independents — Sens. Bernie Sanders of Vermont and Angus King of Maine — who caucus with the Democrats. To wrest back control of the Senate, Democrats would need a net gain of four seats. To maintain Senate control, Republicans could still lose a net of three seats, since a 50-50 split would give Vice President JD Vance the tiebreaking vote.There are also 36 gubernatorial races and numerous ballot measures to keep an eye on.Trump, whose approval ratings are at or near all-time lows, has spent the last month campaigning in battleground states, urging voters to “pretend” he’s on the ballot to encourage higher turnout in hopes that it’ll help Republicans avert a so-called blue wave. Some members of the GOP, however, appear to be bracing for one.”It could be quite a brutal evening,” one senior GOP official told Politico. “Once the dominoes start falling, it becomes hard to stop them.”This article originally appeared on Yahoo News at https://www.yahoo.com/news/politics/live/midterms-2026-live-updates-election-day-voters-head-to-the-polls-as-democrats-look-to-flip-gop-control-of-the-house-and-senate-110000715.html

  • U.S. intelligence sharing has fractured under Trump, officials say
    by By Erin Banco and Jonathan Landay on 3 November 2026 at 16:40

    By Erin Banco and Jonathan Landay WASHINGTON, Nov 3 (Reuters) – US intelligence sharing on Iran and other global threats with Congress and across the federal government has slowed and, in some cases, temporarily stopped during President Donald Trump’s second term, according to eight current and former officials and people briefed on the matter. Former officials and outside experts said the disruptions risk leaving policymakers with an incomplete picture of threats facing ‌the country, echoing intelligence failures exposed after the Sept. 11, 2001, al Qaeda attacks. The slowdown comes as the administration weighs whether to resume strikes on Iran after the midterm elections on Tuesday. The problems emerged during ‌Tulsi Gabbard’s tenure as director of national intelligence, amid deep tensions between her office and the CIA. While those tensions have subsided since her resignation in June, problems stemming from the clash persist, according to two US officials familiar with the matter. The CIA has stopped co-authoring assessments with the National Intelligence Council (NIC), ​an analytical group within the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), the officials said, reducing the number of reports that pull together the intelligence community’s views for decision-makers on subjects including Iran. Lawmakers and their staffs also briefly stopped receiving intelligence reports from Gabbard’s office in the days after the US military intervention in Iran in June 2025 and again after the capture of former Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro in January 2026, according to two people familiar with the matter. Gabbard’s team had accused lawmakers of leaking to the press. The disruption in intelligence sharing has not been previously reported. CIA spokesperson Liz Lyons said the CIA “participates fully” in the process of providing intelligence assessments through the Presidential Daily Brief, which is led by ODNI, and through the NIC. Now, some former officials are working on a ‌bipartisan basis at Stanford University’s Hoover Institution to draw up plans to rebuild the intelligence ⁠community in the next administration, four former US officials said. “All of these things are adding up in a really complex world where policymakers need to have a more sophisticated, nuanced, and integrated view of the world, and they are getting less,” said Beth Sanner, a former deputy director of national intelligence during Trump’s first term. TURF WARS AND REDUCED COOPERATION The problems inside the intelligence community ⁠started last year amid significant cuts to national security agencies, including the ODNI and the CIA, as Trump moved to remove or sideline officials he viewed as disloyal. Some analysts who remain at the intelligence agencies are now careful to not write assessments at odds with White House’s views for fear of political retaliation, two former officials and a current US official said. The officials did not say which topics the analysts were avoiding. “Analysts still do the work, but this White House has made them irrelevant because the president treats unwelcome information as disloyalty,” said Julia Curlee, ​a ​former CIA analyst who said she was fired from the Trump National Security Council last year for being transgender. The White House did not ​respond to a request for comment. The situation was worsened by what officials described as one of ‌the biggest turf wars in three decades between two of the most important agencies: the CIA and the ODNI, which was formed in the aftermath of the Sept. 11 attacks. Reuters earlier detailed the dispute between the agencies. The infighting between the agencies  — triggered when Gabbard’s office revoked the security clearances of current and former intelligence officials a year ago — reached the point where White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles had to intervene several times to defuse tensions, three former officials said. The National Intelligence Council, which for decades has been a key resource for officials and lawmakers making foreign policy decisions, lost its main author when the CIA stopped writing into the assessments last year. The assessments are meant to consolidate the views of the nation’s 18 intelligence agencies, and the council relied heavily on the CIA for analysis on topics like Iran and Russia. While the CIA continued sharing intelligence with the NIC and working with it on some reports,  its analysts focused on their own assessments. Since the move, the intelligence council, which was also ‌hit by staff cuts, has slowed production of its assessments, two people familiar with the matter said. None have focused on the war in ​Iran, five current and former officials said. In response to a request for comment, an ODNI official said the group has maintained assessment levels close to “historic ​trendlines.” “While Tulsi did not utilize the NIC, DNI Clayton has proven to be a good steward of the ​IC and recognizes the value of the NIC,” said a US official, referring to Director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton. NEW BARRIERS Some former intelligence officials worry that new barriers are appearing between agencies. “The problem ‌is that by taking actions which have the effect of hollowing out institutions where there’s ​actual intelligence community coordination on things, you’re creating little lily pads, ​and then everybody can pick their own lily pad to listen to,” said Morgan Muir, the former deputy director of national intelligence in the Biden administration who also briefed President George W. Bush. Gabbard’s office also stopped briefing Congress on election threats in 2025, according to two people familiar with the matter and a former US official. Clayton, who became director of national intelligence in August, has resumed congressional briefings on election threats, officials said. “Director Clayton remains committed ​to ensuring that ODNI and the intelligence community have the resources they need to continue ‌informing key U.S. government decision-makers and keeping Americans safe,” ODNI said in a statement to Reuters. In another clash between agencies, the FBI late last year stopped sharing some intelligence with the National Counterterrorism Center for several ​weeks after the center’s then-head, Joe Kent, and his staff tried to investigate the shooting of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, two former officials said. FBI leaders told Kent they believed NCTC was overstepping ​its authority. The FBI did not respond to a request for comment.

  • Passengers in Florida crash identified as family of 4, their caretaker and another couple
    by Jasmine Andersson, Kate Murphy, Alison Coldridge, Suzy Byrne, Erin Donnelly on 3 November 2026 at 16:26

    The pilot of the Bahamas-bound Learjet that crashed in Palm Beach County, Fla., on Nov. 1 has been identified. According to FAA records and his former employer, Jeff Gregory, 55, of Gilbertsville, Penn., was piloting the plane that crashed, killing all nine people aboard, including his copilot, Nathalia Filgueiras, and seven passengers, Fox 29 reports.The families of Filgueiras and the passengers had previously confirmed their deaths.Camila Corteleti identified her 20-year-old daughter as one of the pilots of the private jet, the New York Times reported. A joint statement from the families was released on social media.”With broken hearts, our families share that Adam Robinson and Helen Sharp, their children Emma and Charlie, Rachael Reed and Charmi Fehr and Anita Maria Cetina were among those lost aboard the flight that went down near Greenacres, Florida, on November 1,” the statement said. A tribute to Sharp and her family was posted on her Instagram page, saying, “On behalf of friends and family, it is with a heavy heart that we share that our dearest Helen was taken from us too soon. If you knew Helen, you knew how full of life she was. She simply radiated.”Authorities had still not publicly confirmed the identities of those on board the plane at a news conference on Nov. 2, during which they said weather conditions were a major factor in the federal investigation into the fatal crash. The National Transportation Safety Board told reporters on Nov. 2 that ice was forming on the jet as it experienced moderate turbulence. Miami air traffic control granted the pilot permission to climb from 35,000 feet to 37,000 feet to avoid precipitation, but shortly afterward, an emergency was declared with a mayday call.Air traffic control audio posted on LiveATC captured the crew’s comments leading up to the crash. Someone in the cockpit can be heard saying “Mayday, mayday,” reporting the plane was descending at 10,000 feet per minute, Reuters reported. “We’re going to crash into the ground,” the person said. The Learjet 60, which had taken off from Austin-Bergstrom International Airport in Texas, went down at about 12:50 p.m. ET near Cresthaven, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said. The NTSB said all nine people on board were killed, including two crew members and seven passengers. The NTSB said it’s unclear if Filgueiras was at the controls at the time of the crash.A man who was leaving the area of the crash sustained a leg injury, officials said.Dashcam footage posted to social media by an eyewitness showed the aircraft falling toward the ground beside a road and exploding into a fireball, narrowly missing cars and homes. The impact left a “massive crater” near the entrance to a mobile home park, Palm Beach County Commissioner Joel Flores said at a news conference. About 600 residents were evacuated to two shelters, he said.People stand near a crater formed after the Learjet 60 crashed.Vanessa Lara/via REUTERS”We have a lot of work to do on scene — this will be a several-day process,” NTSB senior investigator Timothy Monville said during Nov. 2’s news conference. “The biggest obstacle we’re going to have is recovering the major wreckage from the impacted crater on the roadway.” Investigations are also hampered because the crash-site crater is partially filled with water.The NTSB said it will interview witnesses to the accident as part of its investigation and encouraged anyone with relevant information, videos or audio to contact the NTSB by email at witness@ntsb.gov.Some evidence indicates that parts of the plane broke off before the private jet crashed, according to NTSB member Tom Chapman. “I want to note that if any members of the community find debris, please do not move it,” he said. “Contact us or local authorities, and we will respond appropriately.”He also told reporters that, according to records, a cockpit voice recorder was installed, but the NTSB doesn’t know whether it was still on board. “Sometimes these things change over time,” Chapman said. “Of course we’re very hopeful that we can recover it. Too early to know, but that will be very important data.”What we know about the victimsAmong the victims was the private jet’s pilot, Gregory. His former employer, East Coast Jets, a private jet company in Allentown where he worked in 2016 and 2017, said he was an aviator with years of experience, according to the New York Times.”We are deeply saddened to learn that Captain Jeff Gregory was among those who lost their lives in yesterday’s tragic aviation accident in Palm Beach,” a spokesperson for East Coast Jets said in a statement on Nov. 2. His copilot Filgueiras’s mother said she earned her pilot’s license at age 17. The 20-year-old had logged more than 1,300 hours of flight time and was working for a private charter firm based in Fort Lauderdale, according to her mother.Nathalia Gadelha Filgueirasitsnatfilg/ThreadsNFL running back Joe Mixon was among those paying tribute to Gregory and Filgueiras. In an X post on Nov. 3, the former Pro Bowler said he had recently flown with the pilots on the very same aircraft. ”They were incredible professionals and genuinely wonderful people,” Mixon, who most recently played for the Houston Texans, wrote. He added, “My heart, thoughts, and prayers go out to the grieving families and loved ones of everyone on board. A tragic reminder of how fragile life is. Love on your loved ones while you can, because you never know what tomorrow may bring.”Absolutely devastated by yesterday’s tragic plane crash in Florida and the loss of all nine lives. I flew on that exact aircraft last month with those same two pilots. They were incredible professionals and genuinely wonderful people. Hearing the young woman’s story and learning…— ⚡️Primetime!!!⚡️ (@Joe_MainMixon) November 2, 2026 According to the Palm Beach Post, the crash also killed Helen Sharp, 40, her husband, Adam Robinson, 45, and their two young children. Sharp’s father, 70-year-old Dudley Sharp, confirmed the deaths to the outlet.”It’s quite a blow,” he told the Palm Beach Post. “We had a daughter, her husband and two grandchildren on the plane.”Family members of the seven passengers killed in the Nov. 1 crash released a joint statement on Facebook that also identifies the other three passengers: Anita Maria Cetina, Rachael Reed and Charmi Fehr. “With broken hearts, our families share that Adam Robinson and Helen Sharp, their children Emma and Charlie, Rachael Reed and Charmi Fehr, and Anita Maria Cetina were among those lost aboard the flight that went down near Greenacres, Florida, on November 1,” the statement said. “Adam and Helen were devoted parents, and Emma, 4, and Charlie, 2, were the light of their lives. Helen and Adam were the love affair that will last forever. Their warmth, generosity and gift for making people feel welcome touched so many lives. Their loss will be felt deeply by all those who loved them and who they loved in return.” “Charmi and Rachel were full of joy and adventure,” the statement continued. “They loved their people fiercely, fully and without hesitation. From the moment they met, they were all in on each other and the life they were building. They are deeply loved, and we will miss them endlessly. Anita Maria cared for Emma and Charlie with tenderness and devotion, and she was truly part of the family. She showed us a legacy of unconditional love and devotion.”The families also thanked first responders, investigators and the Palm Beach community for “their care,” as well as “everyone who reached out with love.” They added: “Our hearts are also with the families of the pilots, who are grieving alongside us.” Robinson was a tech entrepreneur from Austin, according to his LinkedIn page. He described himself as the founder and CEO for RB2B and Retention.com. He also once hosted the podcast Ten Years in the Making, in which he shared conversations with e-commerce founders. In one 2023 episode with former aviation entrepreneur Lolita Petrossov, Robinson spoke about how flying private “became part of my identity.” A fellow tech entrepreneur, Jesse Ouellette, shared a tribute on LinkedIn, saying Robinson had helped him when he was building his company. “He became a friend and someone I saw eye to eye with on how to build software companies,” said Ouellette. “He could disagree with you about almost anything, and somehow you’d walk away liking him even more.”Robinson last posted on LinkedIn on the day of his death, promoting a debate he and Ouellette had scheduled for Nov. 3. Sharp was a sculptural ceramic artist, according to her Instagram account. A tribute posted on her page said she founded a PR company, Influential PR. The pair, according to the same post, met while Sharp was living abroad in Buenos Aires, Argentina. What we knowThe aircraft crashed in a residential area in Greenacres.Anadolu via Getty ImagesThe Learjet 60 took off from Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, bound for North Eleuthera Airport in the Bahamas, according to the Federal Aviation Administration. FAA records list the owner as a Delaware corporation.The National Weather Service had a flood watch in effect for the crash area, Palm Beach County, through Nov. 2, with rain expected on and off across South Florida.In air traffic control audio posted on LiveATC, someone in the cockpit said they were “managing the ice” but faced “moderate” turbulence and were seeking “better rides.” The Associated Press reported the crew also asked to climb.Less than a minute later, the person said “Mayday, mayday,” reporting the plane was suddenly descending at 10,000 feet per minute. Seconds later, the person declared an emergency, with the descent rate reaching 20,000 feet per minute.Less than 20 seconds later, the person said: “We’re going to crash into the ground,” before reporting the descent rate had reached 22,000 feet per minute as the plane began to bank. Flightradar24 data showed the vertical descent rate at one point exceeded 32,000 feet per minute. The last words heard from the cockpit were “we’re out of time.”Driver Aki Kuusisto’s dashcam footage captured the moment the jet hit the ground. “I heard a whistling noise, a big bang, and I saw a fireball,” he told CBS News. “It felt like it was right next to us… you could feel it in the car.”The jet is reported to have descended at a peak of 32,000 feet per minute.Anadolu via Getty ImagesAccuweather reported that thunderstorms in the area produced heavy rainfall and lightning. AP reports that the pilots were warned by controllers about the looming storms as they crossed into Florida and the FAA published an official warning about the weather prior to the plane’s departure on Nov. 1.According to AccuWeather, the tops of some of the storm clouds reached up to 45,000 feet, making it difficult for planes to fly over. The plane may not have been able to detect the updrafts that can intensify precipitation, as AccuWeather’s Dan DePodwin said that the weather radars on planes have limitations.Chapman said that the investigators are yet to determine what the weather conditions were at 35,000 feet, the altitude the plane was flying at when problems were first reported by the copilot. He added that the investigators hope to recover the cockpit voice recorder. ‘A cataclysmic plane crash’Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis told reporters during a Nov. 1 briefing that there was “a lot of debris” that was strewn over a “pretty significant distance.” “It was a cataclysmic plane crash,” DeSantis said. “It looked like a missile going down and left a big crater on the side of the road.” Transportation Secretary Duffy called the crash a “horrific tragedy” and said the FAA and Department of Transportation would be investigating the incident.Anthony Blackmon, who lives around 500 feet from the site of the crash, told NBC Miami that debris from the crash struck his home. “Debris was everywhere,” he said. “Debris hit my house. Everything was on fire. The road was on fire. I’ve always seen it on the news, never thought it would happen so close to somebody like how it happened today.” Adam Itayem told WPTV, “It sounded like a loud boom. I thought it was thunder,” adding, “I saw a big crater in the ground and water coming out of the crater and a big fire too.””I heard and felt the boom,” Andrew Mannino told CNN, saying he saw a “large black cloud immerse in the air,” adding, “The power immediately went out and is still out.”Around 600 people were evacuated by Palm Beach County authorities while federal officials investigate the crash.”We’re waiting for someone to give us answers about what we’re going to do, because they’re not even letting us into the community to get our clothes,” local resident Jesus Solorzano told WPTV.This article originally appeared on Yahoo News at https://www.yahoo.com/news/us/article/learjet-plane-crash-in-florida-kills-all-9-on-board-what-we-know-111242550.html

  • Trump says U.S. will halt $4 billion in annual aid to Israel and shift to selling arms
    by BEN FINLEY, MATTHEW LEE and DARLENE SUPERVILLE on 3 November 2026 at 14:02

    WASHINGTON (AP) — The United States will stop providing $4 billion in aid each year to Israel in 2027 but will sell arms to its closest ally in the Middle East, President Donald Trump said on Tuesday.The Republican president told Fox News Channel during a phone call on Election Day for the midterms that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had approached him about the idea and that they have been talking about it for a couple of years.Trump said Israel doesn’t need the aid and it’s a lot of money for the U.S. to spend. But Trump also said that U.S. aid to Israel has become a Democratic talking point for candidates such as Michigan U.S. Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, a vocal critic of Israel.Even far-right conservatives, who have supported Trump in the past, have taken issue with U.S. support for Israel, with prominent commentators like Tucker Carlson openly questioning the value of the relationship.”You can consider it barter. You can consider military aid or cash,” Trump said. “Look, we give them $4 billion of things and money, and they don’t need it. And I was approached by Bibi Netanyahu, and we’ve been talking about it for a couple of years because it’s a lot of money.”There was no immediate comment from Netanyahu’s office. But at least some of his political opponents were cautious.Yair Golan, a leader in Israel’s opposition bloc, said an end to U.S. military aid would deal a “severe blow to Israel’s security” at a time when the country is fighting wars on multiple fronts. “The burden of funding defense needs at such a critical juncture will fall entirely upon the Israeli public,” Golan, a former deputy military chief, said in a statement.Tens of billions of dollars have gone to IsraelThe United States has sent tens of billions of dollars in military aid to Israel over the last few years.In 2016, President Barack Obama, a Democrat, signed an unprecedented security agreement with Israel to give its military $38 billion over 10 years, amounting to $3.8 billion a year. Under the agreement, Israel’s ability to spend part of the funds on Israeli military products was to be phased out and eventually all of the money would be spent on American military industries.Netanyahu has talked about the need to wean Israel off the aid in the past and has said that the American aid would end at some point.He told The Economist in January that he wanted to “taper off” U.S. military aid in the next 10 years and that such a change was “in the works.”Trump says critics can easily target the $4 billion paymentBut the optics of the aid had also become an issue, according to Trump, who singled out El-Sayed for using it as a talking point.”The left uses the $4 billion payment — that everybody knows about, it’s no secret — as a signal of unfairness,” Trump said Tuesday on Fox. “And we can’t allow that to happen. I don’t like that, because it’s too easy. It’s almost too easy a target. And Bibi and I have been talking, and we’ve agreed. He was very understanding of it.”Phasing out direct military and economic aid to Israel has long been a subject of debate in both countries and has gained traction in the last several years.There are several issues that complicate it, though, not least of which are obligations the U.S. has to Israel under the terms of the Camp David peace accords with Egypt, which require the United States to support Israel and Egypt with security assistance.In addition, much of the assistance the U.S. provides Israel comes in the form of foreign military financing, or FMF, that gives Israel the money but requires it to spend the money on American-produced weaponry, meaning the funds are plowed back into the U.S. economy.Unless Israel plans to spend the same amount on purchasing American materiel, U.S. defense contractors may see an impact.There was more aid after the Gaza war startedAn academic study published last year showed the U.S. under the administrations of President Joe Biden, a Democrat, and Trump provided at least $21.7 billion in military assistance to Israel after the start of the Gaza war in 2023. The study was published on the second anniversary of the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas attacks in Israel that provoked the conflict.Another study, also published last year by the Costs of War project at Brown University’s Watson School of International and Public Affairs, said the U.S. had spent roughly $10 billion more on security aid and operations in the broader Middle East in the previous two years.While the reports relied on open source material for most of their findings, they offered some of the most comprehensive accountings of U.S. military aid to close ally Israel and estimated costs of direct American military involvement in the Middle East.This article originally appeared on Associated Press at https://www.yahoo.com/news/politics/articles/trump-says-us-halt-4-140212112.html

  • NASA administrator defends 20-year-old Learjet co-pilot after Florida crash
    by Brooke Edwards, Florida Today on 3 November 2026 at 13:54

    NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman took to his personal social media account Nov. 2 to defend the female co-pilot of the Learjet that crashed near Palm Beach, Florida. The private jet, bound from Austin, Texas, to the Bahamas, plummeted into the ground Nov. 1 near Greenacres and exploded into a fireball. All nine people onboard were killed. The cause of the crash was not immediately known, but heavy rainfall and thunderstorms were occurring in the area at the time the jet went down, forecaster AccuWeather said in a statement. Moments before the crash, a person in the cockpit said the crew was “managing the ice,” encountering “moderate” turbulence and seeking “better rides,” according to audio posted by LiveATC, a website that broadcasts air traffic control communications. That dramatic audio led to significant online criticism of the 20-year-old co-pilot, Nathalia Filgueiras, from Boca Raton. The pilot has not been identified. “Let people investigate, learn, and share the facts,” Isaacman wrote on X. “Be respectful to those who perished and the families who carry their memories. God bless them and their loved ones.” Writing this in my personal capacity, but I have been flying these types of aircraft for more than 20 years, with over 8,000 hours, and have reasonable familiarity with how the charter world operates.

I feel compelled to post after seeing commentary about the Lear 60 crash, from missile strikes to DEI to critiquing this poor woman’s final radio calls,” Isaacman wrote. Isaacman is an experienced jet pilot and commercial astronaut. He bankrolled and organized two orbital spaceflights with SpaceX. Both included women onboard, and his first, Inspiration4, featured a female pilot, Sian Proctor. The NASA administrator went on to state that Filgueiras remained professional throughout the situation, knowing her life was about to end. She communicated with air traffic control right up until the crash. “She likely knew before many of those calls that she was going to die,” he wrote. “I understand the public interest given the footage and audio. But you do not know the aircraft’s maintenance history, whether there was a structural failure, if any failure was induced by turbulence, overspeed, or overcontrol, or everything happening in that cockpit,” Isaacman wrote. The leaked cockpit communication with air traffic control revealed that the crew saw ice and experienced turbulence before the crash occurred. Isaacman said that it is common for charter companies, which fly these small jets, to hire fairly new commercial pilots and enable them to gain experience before many become commercial pilots. Filgueiras would have likely had all the applicable training, requirements, and checkouts required from the Federal Aviation Administration, he wrote. Evidence suggests the aircraft began breaking apart before impact, National Transportation Safety Board member Thomas Chapman said at a Monday news conference.

What do people think about solar energy?

BBC News BBC News – World

solar energy saving the planet, by Stephen Allerton blogger.
solar energy saving the planet, by Stephen Allerton blogger.

Stephen Says,

Hello friends, what attracts me to solar energy is the fact that you can have your ideal home anywhere in the world, as long as there is sunshine, ie absolutely everywhere! I’ve been recently reading people’s opinions regarding solar energy, and it’s pros and cons. Some tips were to get a consultant in to help you choose the best solar options, worth their weight in gold. There is what is known as a ‘smart solar box’ which can even charge up on cloudy days and provide you with 20 hours of electricity to power small appliances in your home.

Fortum Say,

Solar power – unlimited source of energy

Solar power is the key to a clean energy future. Every day, the sun gives off far more energy than we need to power everything on earth. That’s why we’re investing heavily in solar plants and why we are now offering solar kits to our customers in Finland, Norway and Sweden.

Renewable

Solar panels produce electricity by transforming the continuous flow of energy from the sun to electricity.

CO₂-free

No harmful emissions are released into the air when electricity is produced by solar panels.

Low operating costs

The photovoltaic process that transforms sunlight into electricity doesn’t require any fuel and has no variable costs.

Solar panels in India that gives solar power and energy

Limitless solar energy

The sun provides more than enough energy to meet the whole world’s energy needs, and unlike fossil fuels, it won’t run out anytime soon. As a renewable energy source, the only limitation of solar power is our ability to turn it into electricity in an efficient and cost-effective way.

Solar energy – a clean source

No greenhouse gas emissions are released into the atmosphere when you use solar panels to create electricity. And because the sun provides more energy than we’ll ever need, electricity from solar power is a very important energy source in the move to clean energy production.

No fuel to burn

After solar panels have been installed, operational costs are quite low compared to other forms of power generation. Fuel isn’t required, and this means that solar power can create large amounts of electricity without the uncertainty and expense of securing a fuel supply.

Solar power and the environment

As a renewable CO2-free power source, the environmental impact of solar power is significantly smaller than other power generation methods. The impact is mainly related to the production and supply of the special materials and metals that are required to produce solar panels. The location and the water used to clean the solar panels also affect the environment. We are working hard to find alternative ways to clean our solar panels.

Stephen’s Solar Energy Conclusion.

So, in conclusion to Solar Energy, it will probably be a life saver. After all when there’s no energy left on this planet, the sun will always be shining for at least a few more billions of years, and that energy may one day have to be utilized, even helping to rebuild the damage that has been done by us (humans) to carry on our existence!!!

There is a way out! Domestic abuse and the NSPCC.

Introduction by blogger Stephen Allerton.

There is a way out for Children in Need, safety and comfort is out there, NSPCC by Stephen Allerton blogger.
There is a way out for Children in Need, safety and comfort is out there, NSPCC by Stephen Allerton blogger.

https://www.nspcc.org.uk/what-we-do/childrens-stories-about-abuse/margarets-story/

I’ve been recently reading stories that ultimately have affected children in an ‘abusive’ way, where I’ve obtained this information from the NSPCC. The domestic violence issues or even crisis has gone on for years behind ‘closed doors’, and it’s a fact that the woman and her children are the victims in a lot of cases. The NSPCC can provide ‘safe houses’ but when the ‘bread winner’ in the relationship is the male, being a brave woman and taking those first tentative steps of reporting a ‘domestic violence’ incident to the police, and then leaving a nice home to live in basic relief conditions like a ‘safe house’ can in a lot of situations be almost impossible, and so the abuse continues, whether emotional, spiritual, physical or mental or a combination of these really begin to take their toll worryingly on the children over the years, after all, the children are the innocent victims here right!

Fighting for childhood in England How we’re standing up for children


We stand up for children in England by finding the best ways to prevent abuse and neglect and influencing the Westminster government to take action.

We’re committed to finding out what’s working and – more importantly – what isn’t, and what we can do about it. We do this by evaluating the services we provide for children and families and conducting research.

Our findings show that the range of support available to children in England who have been affected by abuse or neglect needs to be improved and we’ll be working with the government and partner agencies to achieve this.

Lee’s story Recovering from grooming at a Church youth group

Boy looking down

“I was 16 when a friend introduced me to her church youth group. The first time I went, I met the youth leader, Adam. As I got more involved in the group, transport started to become an issue for me and Adam offered to give me lifts.

“Quite early on, Adam and I began texting. When he suggested we hang out outside of the group I didn’t think anything of it. I thought it was probably common for youth workers to want to spend time with young people.

“I didn’t have a lot of friends so I felt like I’d made a close friend in Adam. He was paying me attention and I enjoyed his company, it felt like he was really looking out for me.

“Then, Adam started to encourage me to hang out with him at his house. He started telling me that we had a special friendship.

“I felt helpless to tell anybody about what was happening.” 
Lee

“It was gradual and quite innocent to start with, but I began to feel increasingly uncomfortable. Adam started sitting closer to me on the sofa, trailing his finger over mine – things I thought were strange but not big enough to react to at the time.

“Over time, Adam started to give me extended hugs and kiss my face. He’d tell me I was his best mate and what we had was special. He said it was normal to do these things, even biblical; reading me passages from the Bible.

“As things continued I told him I wasn’t comfortable with what he was doing. He didn’t listen and instead ramped things up by kissing me on the lips. The kissing on the lips then became more regular and I felt helpless to tell anybody about what was happening.

“I was so confused but knew what he was doing was wrong. I wanted it to stop but part of me was afraid to speak out because I didn’t want to get him into trouble.” 
Lee

“When I told Adam I wasn’t gay – that I liked girls and wanted him to stop – he’d turn things around by telling me I must want this, because I’d instigated it. He’d threaten to take me off the preaching rota or stop giving me lifts. He made me feel as if I’d be ostracised from the group if I put a stop to things and told me constantly that I wasn’t to tell anyone. 

“Things escalated when he made us masturbate in the same room as each other. When we weren’t together, he’d text me telling me he thought about me while he was masturbating. He continued to pressure me, saying we were going to spend our lives together and that he wanted us to have sex.

“The way the law stands currently, Adam can’t be legally prosecuted for what happened. This is because I was 16 at the time and he wasn’t viewed to be in a position of trust.” 
Lee

“I was so confused but knew what he was doing was wrong. I wanted it to stop but part of me was afraid to speak out because I didn’t want to get him into trouble. Being unable to talk to anybody about what was happening was making me feel really depressed.

“A year and a half later, I moved away from the area to practice youth work in London. Because I was no longer in the situation I felt able to share what had happened with my new manager. Adam was removed from his post and isn’t involved in the youth group any more and I was fortunate enough to receive counselling, which has really helped me move on from what happened.

“The way the law stands currently, Adam can’t be legally prosecuted for what happened. This is because I was 16 at the time and he wasn’t viewed to be in a position of trust.

“I’d encourage other victims of grooming and sexual abuse to talk to someone, however bad it seems or however trapped you feel. Someone will be able to help you.”

Kimberley’s story How the Family Environment: Drug Using Parents (FEDUP) service helped her to speak out

Young girl crying

“My life when I was younger wasn’t very happy. I knew from a young age that my dad was taking drugs because I’d learnt about them at school. I remember one day, when I was about 8 or 9 years old my dad’s mate came round and I saw the drugs laid out in the kitchen and I realised what they were and what they were doing.

“Living with dad wasn’t very nice. He used to get angry if he didn’t have any drugs and would shout at me. He would shout at me in the mornings because he’d overslept and we’d be late for school. I’d have to get my uniform washed and clean for school because if I left it for him to do, he’d put it in the washing machine and then forget to take it out so I wouldn’t have anything clean to wear. I was doing my own washing and ironing at primary school. Then I’d walk to school by myself. I often had to make my own dinner, because Dad would be asleep on the sofa or couldn’t do it. I’d have ravioli from a can.

“His mates would be at our flat all the time and they would make a noise at night when I was trying to sleep. If they came in the daytime they’d bring sweets for me to try and keep me out of the way. I’d be sent to my room or made to sit in the living room by myself. They used to be in the kitchen doing the drugs.

“When I lived with my dad I felt like nothing. I felt like he didn’t care about me all he cared about was the drugs.” 
Kimberley*

“I had met Gemma* when I was 4 years old. She was our landlady and also worked in the shop next door. I started going into the shop to talk to Gemma instead of going home because I didn’t like to be at home with my dad.

“I would visit Gemma every day after school. I wouldn’t tell her too much about what was going on at home, but I’d tell her little things. If things were really bad with my dad I’d tell her about it and I’d sometimes stay overnight at her house. She always made time for me, it was normally when I was going to bed and she’d sit at the end of my bed and we’d talk through whatever I was worried about.

“I remember one night, my dad was asleep on the sofa and I couldn’t wake him up. The flat was dark and I was scared so I rang Gemma who came and picked me up and left a note for my dad to tell him where I’d gone.

“With Gemma’s support and help I told my school about what life was like living with my dad and I was given a social worker. The social worker helped a bit, but the biggest help was NSPCC. Anna* and Ray* from the NSPCC Blackpool Service Centre came to visit my house to speak to me and Dad and told me about a local group called Family Environment: Drug Using Parents (FEDUP). They said that I could go and speak to other young people who were going through something similar to me and could have 1-2-1 chats with Anna at school. Ray said he’d come to my dad’s house and talk to him about how his drug use was affecting me. 

“I enjoyed the FEDUP group. We did fun things like making towers out of marshmallows and dried spaghetti. I could talk to Anna about how I was feeling and I trusted her. I was in a session with Anna when I told her I didn’t want to go home and live with my dad anymore.

“After that day, I never went back to my dad’s flat again. I saw him once after I’d left him to go and live with Gemma. We went on a day out which was nice, but he got angry when I told him I couldn’t see him again a few days later because I was busy. He swore at me and stormed off. He still wasn’t nice to be around. Now that I’m at high school, I sometimes see him in the street. He tries to say hello but I don’t like it.  

“I really like living with Gemma. I’ve been to Spain with Gemma and her family. I’ve lived with her for over 2 years now.

“I have a proper family who take me out and take me on holiday. ” 
Kimberley*

“Being in the FEDUP group really helped me to speak out. They helped me to understand that if something doesn’t feel right then I should speak out and tell someone. To anyone living with a mum or dad who’s using drugs and making them unhappy, I’d say tell someone who you can trust and get help. It doesn’t have to be this way.”

Conclusion by Stephen Allerton

In this hi tech day and age, where computers rule the world, and as quickly as children can click a button on a computer and enter into ‘online grooming’ at the hands of ‘dodgy adults’, that click can turn into one of a cry for help with the NSPCC. This is a ‘get out’ clause for abused children, and abuse comes in so many ways. The point is safeguard officials can view each case on its individual merits, and the most sensitive of cases can be approached in a likewise manner. Can the child fight back in our modern world and get NSPCC support, or do they just keel over and continue getting abuse in so many different ways and forms! It’s not so obvious as battered and bruised kiddies, or sexually abused children, it’s psychological manipulation, emotional blackmail, spiritual threatening, to name but a few from adult perpetrators. The time has come for pressure to be put back on these people TOO STOP It! Below are some easy ways to get in touch with the NSPCC. All the best. Stephen.

Marisa Peer can reach the mind that other therapists cannot reach!

As I watch and read more about Marisa Peer’s expertise and skills and talents, the more certain I am that she can get people results and ‘fast’. I came to this conclusion because I’ve been feeling her presence within my soul. I’ve been expressing myself in a way that’s been getting more positive feedback from people in a way I’ve never got before. I mean my vocabulary hasn’t changed a great deal over the last couple of months but my volume and quality of output communication has. It’s like Marisa has reached parts of my mind that no other person has reached and I’ve found myself expressing myself in such a way, where I’m sure my mind in the past has said or instructed me to ‘not say this or that because it’s insignificant and to trivial a matter to say’! How wrong could I be, some insignificent memories that I’ve told no one like the time I went camping and mentioning no names saw a world champion darts player throwing darts for exhibition, and having taken a photo of this talented bloke, saw on the photo that he appeared to have a hole (or the very least) a very worn out soul as his rear foot lifted up as he threw, brought me to the conclusion that ‘it’s not all tinsel and glamour’ for stars in any niche, and got the people I was speaking to to ‘I’m sure’ open up in a way they wouldn’t have before. It’s like Marisa spirit just spreads from one person to the other! Anyway, I’ve posted some profile info about Marisa so I hope this helps any fellow bloggers come viewers who may read this short post. Take it from me friends, you can’t go far wrong if you listen to a few of her great videos, see you soon, Stephen.
