Elon Musk is already making a name for himself in Path of Exile 2 after dominating Diablo 4’s leaderboards. Despite being the wealthiest man in the world, the founder of Space X and owning social media platform X, Elon Musk has proven himself to be an elite gamer. The multi-billionaire made waves back in November after technically becoming the best Diablo 4 player in the world by clearing a level 150 Pit in under two minutes. Now, he’s bringing his talents to Path of Exile, a game he says belongs in a Hall of Fame – but he’s so good, he’s having trouble being allowed to play. Elon Musk denies using a macro after getting kicked from PoE 2 In a post on X, Elon posted a screenshot of his Path of Exile 2 game where he got a message alerting him that he had been disconnected. “You have been kicked for performing too many actions too fast,” the notice said. Wasn’t even using a macro lol pic.twitter.com/nDb9REalB5 However, Musk claims that he wasn’t using any software to make the game easier, and was instead just performing a high amount of actions per minute because he’s just extremely skilled. “Wasn’t even using a macro lol,” he joked, prompting a viewer to reply, “They give us like 10+ active skills and don’t expect us to hit the buttons?!” “The penalty for too many clicks/sec is you get executed immediately!” Musk added. “I think this will get patched.” While Elon hopes that this will be patched, other users were impressed by the X owner’s ability to take to yet another game with ease. Seriously 😂 And the penalty for too many clicks/sec is you get executed immediately! I think this will get patched. “I really don’t know where you find the hours in the day,” remarked former HotS pro akaface. “Elon gonna dom the PoE leaderboards too?” someone else chimed in . “Get this man on League of Legends.” Related: Amusingly, Musk has stated he refuses to play LoL , because if he did, “it would damage the space program.” “You should buy Path of Exile now my spaceman son,” another commented , referencing Elon suggesting that he might buy Hasbro to acquire D&D . In addition to being good at games, Elon has also announced plans to start his own AI game studio to “make video games great again,” but hasn’t revealed any further progress on the project since.

WT Wealth Management Buys 16,480 Shares of NVIDIA Co. (NASDAQ:NVDA)As Australia’s batting slumps to a new low during the first Test against India , fans will be left wondering how concerned they need to be about the concerning trajectory. Watch every ball of Australia v India LIVE & ad-break free during play in 4K on Kayo | New to Kayo? Get your first month for just $1. Limited time offer. According to former England cricket captain Michael Vaughan, the concern is warranted. The Aussies were rolled by India for an embarrassing 104 early on day two – and that wasn’t the end of their First Test pain. By the end of day three, the home side were staring down a 521-run deficit with just seven wickets left after debutant Nathan McSweeney (0), Pat Cummins (2) and Marnus Labuschagne (3) all went in a savage late spell before stumps. READ MORE TALKING POINTS: ‘Negative, illegal’ moment the Aussie castle crumbled; King’s heir arrives IPL AUCTION WRAP: Hazlewood cashes in on Aussies’ $9.27m payday; stars go unsold ‘HOPEFULLY THINGS TURN AROUND QUICKLY’: Quick defends Marnus, reveals Aus goals after awful day Vaughan fears there are players within the Aussie line up that have become “too comfortable” and has questioned where the next generation was going to come from. “I think the debate over the next week or two going into the second and third Test matches will be: Are Australia short of a gallop and they needed this game to get back into Test match cricket mode? Or are they a team that’s just starting to get over the edge?” he said. “I think obviously the batting unit is a batting unit that has had plenty of success in the past. There’s some great players in it – but consistently now for a number of games it’s just not managed to score the runs that many would have expected, including themselves. “What is underneath this Australian batting line up really pushing the standards in the first team? “The standards generally get driven in a team because you’ve got many players pushing for places in it – I just don’t see too many doing it. “When Australia had a batting line up that had many world class players in it, I reckon you probably had seven or eight world class players not in it – and that was just in the batting department. “Who is pushing? How many players outside of this Australian camp... outside of (Josh Inglis), who are the players getting the numbers to put these players in this team under pressure? I just don’t see it.” Cricket great Ravi Shastri agreed. “I am seriously worried about the depth in Australian cricket,” he told foxsports.com.au. “There were times when players had to play years and years of cricket to make the cut. Mike Hussey, Matthew Hayden - years and years, and you look down the ranks there in Shield cricket and some of the youngsters coming through the ranks, there aren’t many there. “When you look at the batting line up, a couple of guys in the evening of their career, on the other side of 30 – deep into the 30s, you want to have some depth. “Australia will have to find something from somewhere.” It’s been a decade since the Aussies tasted Test series victory over India – and that was at a time Adam Voges and Michael Klinger scored more than 1000 runs in the Sheffield Shield. The likes of Callum Ferguson, Peter Nevill, Peter Handscomb, Matt Wade and Dan Christian all averaged higher than 50 in their nine or more Shield matches. Currently, 18 players (including Marcus Harris, Handscomb, Sam Konstas, Matt Renshaw and Sam Whiteman) have scored a century this Shield season that is only two months old. Labuschagne’s form is a massive worry for the Australians, with the batsman reaching triple figures just once in past two years. Aussie great Michael Hussey said he was prepared to reserve judgement on where this Test team sat. “I’m not willing to jump at shadows just yet,” he said. “You just think about coming into this series, all the talk was about India. They’d lost 3-0 to NZ.“The Australian batting order has had one innings. “Yes, they didn’t perform as well as they would have liked... I’m willing to just wait, be patient and see and make more of a judgement after three Test matches.“The Australian public don’t like the Australian team getting beaten, and beaten badly.”Akap seen as a thorn in ’25 budget bicam talksWithin days of Donald Trump’s election victory, health care entrepreneur Calley Means turned to social media to crowdsource advice. “First 100 days,” said Means, a former consultant to Big Pharma who uses the social platform X to focus attention on chronic disease. “What should be done to reform the FDA?” The question was more than rhetorical. Means is among a cadre of health business leaders and nonmainstream doctors who are influencing President Donald Trump’s focus on health policy. Trump’s return to the White House has given Means and others in this space significant clout in shaping the nascent health policies of the new administration and its federal agencies. It’s also giving newfound momentum to “Make America Healthy Again,” or MAHA, a controversial movement that challenges prevailing thinking on public health and chronic disease. Its followers couch their ideals in phrases like “health freedom” and “true health.” Their stated causes are as diverse as revamping certain agricultural subsidies, firing National Institutes of Health employees, rethinking childhood vaccination schedules, and banning marketing of ultra-processed foods to children on TV. Public health leaders say the emerging Trump administration’s interest in elevating the sometimes unorthodox concepts could be catastrophic, eroding decades of scientific progress while spurring a rise in preventable disease. They worry the administration’s support could weaken trust in public health agencies. Georges Benjamin, executive director of the American Public Health Association, said he welcomes broad intellectual scientific discussion but is concerned that Trump will parrot untested and unproven public health ideas he hears as if they are fact. Experience has shown that people with unproven ideas will have his ear and his “very large bully pulpit,” he said. “Because he’s president, people will believe he won’t say things that aren’t true. This president, he will.” But those in the MAHA camp have a very different take. They say they have been maligned as dangerous for questioning the status quo. The election has given them an enormous opportunity to shape politics and policies, and they say they won’t undermine public health. Instead, they say, they will restore trust in federal health agencies that lost public support during the pandemic. “It may be a brilliant strategy by the right,” said Peter McCullough, a cardiologist who has come under fire for saying COVID-19 vaccines are unsafe. He was describing some of the election-season messaging that mainstreamed their perspectives. “The right was saying we care about medical and environmental issues. The left was pursuing abortion rights and a negative campaign on Trump. But everyone should care about health. Health should be apolitical.” The movement is largely anti-regulatory and anti-big government, whether concerning raw milk or drug approvals, although implementing changes would require more regulation. Many of its concepts cross over to include ideas that have also been championed by some on the far left. Robert F. Kennedy Jr., an anti-vaccine activist Trump has nominated to run the Department of Health and Human Services, has called for firing hundreds of people at the National Institutes of Health, removing fluoride from water, boosting federal support for psychedelic therapy, and loosening restrictions on raw milk, consumption of which can expose consumers to foodborne illness. Its sale has prompted federal raids on farms for not complying with food safety regulations. Means has called for top-down changes at the U.S. Department of Agriculture, which he says has been co-opted by the food industry. Though he himself is not trained in science or medicine, he has said people had almost no chance of dying of COVID-19 if they were “metabolically healthy,” referring to eating, sleeping, exercise and stress management habits, and has said that about 85 percent of deaths and health care costs in the U.S. are tied to preventable foodborne metabolic conditions. A co-founder of Truemed, a company that helps consumers use pretax savings and reimbursement programs on supplements, sleep aids, and exercise equipment, Means says he has had conversations behind closed doors with dozens of members of Congress. He said he also helped bring RFK Jr. and Trump together. RFK Jr. endorsed Trump in August after ending his independent presidential campaign. “I had this vision for a year, actually. It sounds very woo-woo, but I was in a sweat tent with him in Austin at a campaign event six months before, and I just had this strong vision of him standing with Trump,” Means said recently on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast. The former self-described never-Trumper said that, after Trump’s first assassination attempt, he felt it was a powerful moment. Means called RFK Jr. and worked with conservative political commentator Tucker Carlson to connect him to the former president. Trump and RFK Jr. then had weeks of conversations about topics such as child obesity and causes of infertility, Means said. “I really felt, and he felt, like this could be a realignment of American politics,” Means said. He is joined in the effort by his sister, Casey Means, a Stanford University-trained doctor and co-author with her brother of “Good Energy,” a book about improving metabolic health. The duo has blamed Big Pharma and the agriculture industry for increasing rates of obesity, depression and chronic health conditions in the country. They have also raised questions about vaccines. “Yeah, I bet that one vaccine probably isn’t causing autism, but what about the 20 that they are getting before 18 months,” Casey Means said in the Joe Rogan podcast episode with her brother. The movement, which challenges what its adherents call “the cult of science,” gained significant traction during the pandemic, fueled by a backlash against vaccine and mask mandates that flourished during the Biden administration. Many of its supporters say they gained followers who believed they had been misled on the effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines. In July 2022, Deborah Birx, COVID-19 response coordinator in Trump’s first administration, said on Fox News that “we overplayed the vaccines,” although she noted that they do work. Anthony Fauci, who advised Trump during the pandemic, in December 2020 called the vaccines a game changer that could diminish COVID-19 the way the polio vaccine did for that disease. Eventually, though, it became evident that the shots don’t necessarily prevent transmission and the effectiveness of the booster wanes with time, which some conservatives say led to disillusionment that has driven interest in the health freedom movement. Federal health officials say the rollout of the COVID vaccine was a turning point in the pandemic and that the shots lessen the severity of the disease by teaching the immune system to recognize and fight the virus that causes it. Postelection, some Trump allies such as Elon Musk have called for Fauci to be prosecuted. Fauci declined to comment. Joe Grogan, a former director of the White House’s Domestic Policy Council and assistant to Trump, said conservatives have been trying to articulate why government control of health care is troublesome. “Two things have happened. The government went totally overboard and lied about many things during COVID and showed no compassion about people’s needs outside of COVID,” he said. “RFK Jr. came along and articulated very simply that government control of health care can’t be trusted, and we’re spending money, and it isn’t making anyone healthier. In some instances, it may be making people sicker.” The MAHA movement capitalizes on many of the nonconventional health concepts that have been darlings of the left, such as promoting organic foods and food as medicine. But in an environment of polarized politics, the growing prominence of leaders who challenge what they call the cult of science could lead to more public confusion and division, some health analysts say. Jeffrey Singer, a surgeon and senior fellow at the Cato Institute, a libertarian public policy research group, said in a statement that he agrees with RFK Jr.’s focus on reevaluating the public health system. But he said it comes with risks. “I am concerned that many of RFK Jr.’s claims about vaccine safety, environmental toxins and food additives lack evidence, have stoked public fears and contributed to a decline in childhood vaccination rates,” he said. Measles vaccination among kindergartners in the U.S. dropped to 92.7 percent in the 2023-24 school year from 95.2 percent in the 2019-20 school year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The agency said that has left about 280,000 kindergartners at risk.

Dune: Prophecy ( Sky Atlantic / Now ) I’m a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! (ITV1) | itv.com Say Nothing ( Disney+ ) The Listeners (BBC One) | iPlayer If there’s one thing the world doesn’t need right now it’s another addition to the oversaturated fantasy genre, but maybe Sky Atlantic’s new six-parter Dune: Prophecy offers something a little different? That’s not to claim that I was bouncing on the sofa with anticipation. Developed by Diane Ademu-John and Alison Schapker, the show is a prequel to Denis Villeneuve’s 2021 film (a remake of David Lynch’s 1984 original), which I found rather dull: two-and-a half-hours of sand, CGI and boyband brooding from Timothée Chalamet’s Paul Atreides. The new series is set 10,000 years before Atreides shows up on Arrakis, and as per with such ventures, the premise is laboriously set out at the beginning, as if we’ve all failed our fantasy studies GCSE and must now suffer on a sci-fi cramming course. A prologue tells us how thinking machines have been vanquished, technology banned. From there, we meet a sisterhood of Truthsayers – women in billowing black robes who root out liars and whisper advice into powerful ears, like alt-reality spads. The sisters are trained and led by morally dubious Valya (Emily Watson), who works alongside her sister Tula (Olivia Williams), and together... Hey, hang on... At what point was permission granted for two older female actors to lead a TV fantasy franchise? It feels like a minor feminist miracle. Valya and Tula are in control of baby breeding for better leaders (think a non-evil, female-friendly Gilead), but a bearded stranger, Desmond Hart (Travis Femmel), has shown up, able to burn people alive with mind power, and the weak emperor (a dazed-seeming Mark Strong) is in his thrall. Elsewhere, there’s routine fantasy silliness: for instance (spoiler alert), it is breathlessly revealed that Hart acquired his powers by being ingested by a giant sandworm. Still, Dune: Prophecy feels a lot more thoughtful and inventive than most fantasy fare, and with women placed at the centre. Looking ahead, Valya and Tula can still be found quietly but grittily scheming and plotting, alone and together, like a sandier House of Cards . It’s worth a look. Over to the Australian jungle for the opener of the new series of I’m a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! (ITV1), presented by Ant and Dec. This time, thankfully, with no ( Hammer House of Horror tone) “divisive political figures”. No former health secretary Matt Hancock trying to nice-bloke away breaking his own lockdown rules. No Nigel Farage, populist man of the sheeple, gloating about his giant fee, hilariously unaware he’s tanked 2023’s launch viewing figures by 2 million. Instead, it’s back to the classic IAC ragbag of celebs, including record £1.5m signing Coleen Rooney, wife of former England footballer Wayne (“It’ll be nice for Coleen to do a trial that doesn’t involve Rebekah Vardy,” quipped Dec), former Strictly Come Dancing pro Oti Mabuse and McFly’s Danny Jones. At this early stage everyone is being warm and supportive, which is wonderful and uplifting but needs to stop. There’s not nearly enough starvation-induced diva griping and sniping for my black-hearted tastes. Give them time. Disney+ drama Say Nothing , created by Joshua Zetumer, is nine episodes long and still feels as if it needs more space for the huge task it sets itself. Based on the bestselling 2018 book by Patrick Radden Keefe, it spans decades of the Troubles in Northern Ireland, from the 1970s onwards. Set mainly in Belfast, the story focuses on real-life IRA operatives the Price sisters – Dolours (portrayed over the years by Lola Petticrew, then Maxine Peake) and Marian (Hazel Doupe/Helen Behan) – and Brendan Hughes (Anthony Boyle/Tom Vaughan-Lawlor). It also features Gerry Adams (Josh Finan/Michael Colgan), who was Sinn Féin president from 1983 until 2018, though each episode ends with firm legal disclaimers stating Adams’s consistent denial of involvement with the IRA. Elsewhere, Say Nothing deals with the “disappeared”, including the appalling case of widowed mother of 10 Jean McConville (Judith Roddy), abducted and killed by the IRA for allegedly being an informant to the British army, although it was never proven that she was. In many ways this is an astonishing work, with striking performances all round, and the radicalisation of the Prices is skilfully conveyed. One harrowing episode covers their 1973 bombing of the Old Bailey in London, which injured and maimed more than 200 people, and the sisters’ subsequent imprisonment and hunger strike. Ultimately, though, Say Nothing struggles to control myriad threads: eras are linked by Peake’s older Dolours, and, later, Vaughan-Lawlor’s Hughes giving interviews to Boston College, Massachusetts’ oral history Belfast Project . There’s also a highly problematic rock’n’roll-style excitement to early IRA manoeuvres, though this is addressed as the series progresses, and, for some characters, doubt and conscience seep in. What emerges is a disordered, skewed account, but a powerful one. It’s hard to know where you are with new four-part BBC One drama The Listeners – and that’s both its biggest fault and its greatest selling point. Adapted from his own left-field novel by Canadian author and playwright Jordan Tannahill , it follows teacher Claire (a vivid performance from Rebecca Hall) as she struggles to cope with an omnipresent rumbling hum only she can hear – to the increasing alarm and exasperation of her husband and daughter (played by Prasanna Puwanarajah and Mia Tharia respectively). Directed by Janicza Bravo ( Zola ), the story has a chilly, stubbornly conceptual feel as Claire keeps gaining and losing your sympathy. Surely a teacher would know it was inappropriate to meet alone with a teenage pupil (a credibly off-kilter Ollie West) who also hears the hum? They join a group of fellow listeners, led by a risibly creepy, blissed-out couple. As Claire’s life unravels, themes jostle: conspiracy theories; alternative facts; cults; condescension to women (Claire’s hum is initially branded a menopausal symptom); quasi-religious fervour and rapture, but also rising dread. There are times when The Listeners feels akin to a sprawling, uber-woolly episode of Black Mirror . But there’s also the sense that you’re partaking against your will in a televised immersive art installation, and I like that. Here is a drama that aggravates and intrigues in equal measure.

What is Mulehunter.Ai, the AI tool RBI is promoting to detect and flag accounts used for financial fraudMeme coins are where the fun meets the funds. Whether you’re a crypto rookie or a seasoned hodler, these internet-born tokens have proven they’re more than a passing joke—they’re a booming investment frontier. But with new projects popping up faster than a TikTok trend, it’s hard to know which ones are worth your time (and wallet). The spotlight of November’s meme coin frenzy undoubtedly belongs to BTFD Coin, whose presale performance has been nothing short of legendary. Crushing expectations within hours of launch, BTFD Coin has already amassed over $300,000 in presale funding, with early investors snapping up tokens like there’s no tomorrow. Don’t stress! We’ve rounded up the best new meme coins to join in December 2024 to give you a clear path through the chaos. From the hype-fueled antics of BTFD Coin to the adorable charm of Baby Doge Coin, there’s a lot to love—and even more to gain. And speaking of gains, let’s start with a coin that’s breaking presale records like it’s no big deal. 1. BTFD Coin: The Dip-Sniping Powerhouse If meme coins were a sport, BTFD Coin would already be MVP. Standing for "Buy The Dip," this crypto takes its inspiration from the legendary mantra of buying low and selling high, but with a cheeky twist. BTFD Coin’s presale has been on fire, raking in over $150,000 in the first 24 hours and climbing fast. The current presale price is $0.00005, and it’s selling out so quickly you’d think it was a limited-edition drop. Let’s break this down. With an investment of $4,200, you’d bag yourself 84 million BTFD Coins. Now, if this skyrockets to its projected early target of $0.0006, you’d be sitting on a mind-blowing $50,400. Add in its P2E game, staking rewards with a 90% APY, and the ever-growing Bulls Squad community, and it’s clear why this token is already stealing the show. Why this meme coin made it to this list: BTFD Coin is combining utility with meme culture like a pro. Its presale success, ambitious roadmap, and massive earning potential make it a must-have for November. 2. Snek: The Slithering Sensation You know what they say: the early bird gets the worm, but the early investor gets the snake. Enter Snek, a meme coin built on the sly wit of internet humour and a vibrant community that just won’t quit. Launched with a no-nonsense low supply and fair distribution model, Snek has slithered its way into the hearts (and wallets) of thousands of investors. What makes Snek special is its emphasis on memes as a lifestyle. It’s all about creating a vibe, and the team is pulling no punches with influencer partnerships, meme contests, and even a dedicated “snake charmers” reward system for top holders. With a trading volume that’s been climbing steadily, Snek is poised to strike big. Why this meme coin made it to this list: Snek is fresh, fun, and ferocious when it comes to short-term growth. It’s already built a loyal following, and its innovative community engagement keeps the momentum going. 3. Dogs: The Pack Leader of Meme Coins What’s better than one dog meme coin? A whole pack. Dogs has emerged as a leader in the canine-themed meme coin craze, bringing together fans of all the furry favourites under one playful roof. But don’t let the wagging tails fool you—Dogs Coin has serious bite. The team behind Dogs is using a community-first strategy to maximise its reach, including charity partnerships with animal shelters and NFT collections featuring—you guessed it—adorable dogs. Add to that its low transaction fees and increasing utility as a tipping coin across various platforms, and Dogs is looking like a strong contender for November’s meme coin crown. Why this meme coin made it to this list: Dogs stands out by blending meme magic with real-world impact. Its focus on community-driven growth makes it a solid choice for investors who like their gains with a side of good vibes. 4. Baby Doge Coin: The Pup That Won’t Stop The OG meme doge may have paved the way, but Baby Doge Coin has carved out its own legacy. Created as a more playful, community-focused extension of Dogecoin, Baby Doge has become a household name in the meme coin universe. Its auto-burn feature ensures that with every transaction, the supply shrinks, driving up scarcity and, hopefully, value. With a passionate fanbase (affectionately called “pup pack”) and a penchant for viral marketing, Baby Doge Coin continues to win over investors looking for stable short-term gains. Its ongoing initiatives in NFTs and gaming ecosystems also hint at potential longevity, making it a versatile addition to your portfolio. Why this meme coin made it to this list: Baby Doge Coin is a seasoned player in the meme coin game, consistently delivering value for both new and old investors. Its strong branding and innovative burning mechanics keep it relevant and rewarding. 5. Neiro: The Brainy Bet on Memes Closing out the list is Neiro, a meme coin that proves brains and bants can coexist. Neiro takes a meta approach to meme culture, combining sharp wit with smart contract functionality that sets it apart from the pack. Designed for both the crypto-savvy and the meme-loving masses, Neiro’s ecosystem includes staking rewards, trivia-based rewards, and even meme-creation bounties. Launched just weeks ago, Neiro has already shown impressive price movements, with its early investors enjoying gains of 25% within days. Its dev team has hinted at partnerships with meme creators and content platforms, suggesting that this coin could become the go-to for meme culture enthusiasts. Why this meme coin made it to this list: Neiro’s blend of meme mastery and innovative features makes it a smart pick for anyone looking to laugh their way to the bank. Its quick start and clever incentives are paving the way for a strong November showing. Final Thoughts: Don’t Miss Out on November’s Meme Magic Whether you’re into dips, dogs, or snakes, these five coins—BTFD Coin, Snek, Dogs, Baby Doge Coin, and Neiro—are the best new meme coins to join in November 2024. Each offers a unique flavour of meme culture with the potential for impressive short-term gains. Of course, BTFD Coin takes the crown for its record-breaking presale performance and the sheer scope of its community-driven ecosystem. With prices still at an early-stage bargain, now is the perfect time to invest. Ready to ride the meme wave? Get in on BTFD Coin’s presale today and turn those dips into dollars.

Al Ghorrah was sponsored by the Social & Sport Contribution Fund (Daam). Abdulrahman bin Abdullatif al-Mannai, Chief Executive Officer of Daam, said: “Al Ghorrah for Literature and Arts served as an important platform for celebrating Arab-Islamic heritage and fostering cultural understanding among diverse communities. Supporting initiatives like these aligns with Daam’s ongoing commitment to enhancing cultural exchange and preserving cultural identity for future generations in line with Qatar National Vision 2030.” The event highlighted the vital role of culture in providing a sense of grounding amid challenges, with creativity and heritage seen not as relics of the past but as enduring beacons of identity and resilience. Building on this theme, Al Ghorrah offered an array of theatre and musical performances, educational workshops, and activities for everyone to experience and enjoy. The Education City event showcased a vast spectrum of creative talents and richness of Arab-Islamic culture with approximately 8,000 tickets bought by those wanting to immerse themselves in the vibrant offerings and atmosphere of Al Ghorrah. The closing night saw a performance by singer-songwriter Namira, while Qatar Philharmonic Orchestra and QF’s Qatar Music Academy performed Fusha Tunes – a medley of Arabic Fusha songs, daily parade with its combination of traditional music and colourful costumes, and cultural experiences from the Levant, Iraq, and Morocco. “This year, we were thrilled to witness an exceptional turnout, with attendees from diverse backgrounds joining us to explore the richness of Arab-Islamic civilisations alongside other cultures,” Hend M al-Thawadi, engagement and activation lead, QF, said. During Al Ghorrah, highlights for the thousands of people who flocked to Education City’s Oxygen Park included Al Feel Ya Malik Al Zaman, which saw the creative vision of director and producer Maher Salibi, and a cast including renowned actor Jamal Sulieman, bring legendary playwright Saadallah Wannous’ acclaimed play to life. Performances by Mustafa Said and the Asil Ensemble, and Yemeni orchestra Sada Alebda, as well as a Qatari-Moroccan medley featuring Asmaa Mnor were all part of the musical flavour of Al Ghorrah, while visitors also had the opportunity to watch plays performed by schools, listen to poetry readings, and participate in a range of workshops – including enabling them to try their hand at Arabic calligraphy and creating geometric patterns.

Saturday, November 30, 2024 Ancient artifacts, as timeless bearers of a nation’s history and cultural identity, provide invaluable perspectives on the appreciation of heritage. Each year, museums across China attract over a billion visitors. While the nation’s major museums offer expansive collections, specialized institutions further enrich understanding by focusing on the history, society, and diverse peoples of the country. The Global Times cultural desk is proud to present the “Museum Wonders” series, highlighting how these cultural treasures embody the essence of Chinese civilization and celebrate its profound wisdom. In the heart of Beijing, there lies a museum unlike any other, a repository of historical artifacts and ancient manuscripts that encapsulate the nation’s diverse cultural legacy. This is the Cultural Palace of Nationalities, home to one of the most extensive and varied collections of ethnic minority artifacts, rare manuscripts, and artworks. From ancient tools and everyday objects to vibrant clothing, musical instruments, and sacred relics, the museum offers a rich and colorful portrayal of China’s multi-ethnic society. “The Cultural Palace of Nationalities’ extensive collections of artifacts clearly illustrate the long history of interaction, exchange, and integration among China’s ethnic groups,” Cui Dezhi, deputy curator of the museum told the Global Times. “They are powerful evidence of the nation’s unity in diversity and the development of a cohesive Chinese nation,” he added. Cultural Riches and Heritage at the Cultural Palace of Nationalities The Cultural Palace of Nationalities is home to a remarkable collection, with over 50,000 artifacts representing various ethnic minorities. It also holds more than 200,000 ancient texts in minority languages and over 4,600 works of art created by famous painters and artists from ethnic groups. Among the museum’s most exceptional holdings are rare manuscripts and prints written in diverse ethnic scripts. These include ancient palm-leaf and bodhi-leaf manuscripts that are considered treasures, seldom found either within China or internationally. The museum’s collections offer a glimpse into the rich history of China’s ethnic unity, with significant items like seals and certificates once awarded to regional ethnic leaders by the central government. One of the most valuable artifacts is a Yi manuscript that narrates the tale of Lady Shexiang, a tribal leader who played a vital role in fostering national unity. “The collections not only showcase the unique artistic styles and cultural characteristics of China’s ethnic groups but also reflect the inclusive nature of Chinese culture,” noted Cui. For instance, the Cultural Palace of Nationalities houses a remarkable collection of musical instruments that span various ethnic groups. These instruments come in numerous shapes, produce diverse sounds, and embody the cultural exchanges and shared learning among China’s ethnic communities. In a similar vein, the museum’s clothing collection showcases vibrant, intricately embroidered garments with colorful patterns. These designs reflect the influence of different ethnicities on one another’s attire, illustrating a collective cultural progression. Revitalizing Heritage As reported by the National Cultural Heritage Administration, Chinese museums achieved a record-breaking 1.29 billion visits in 2023. A notable trend has emerged on social media, where younger generations are increasingly visiting museums to admire the exhibits, snap photos, and purchase souvenirs, further enriching their cultural experience. “The rise in museum visits nationwide has had a positive impact on our museum’s development. It has encouraged more people to visit cultural exhibitions, significantly increasing public awareness of national heritage, and deepening the understanding of China’s rich history, thereby boosting national cultural confidence,” Cui said. Cui explains that the increasing influx of visitors has raised expectations for the museum to elevate its planning, exhibit design, and visitor services in order to better align with the dynamic cultural demands of the public. In response, the museum has assembled a range of exceptional and unique exhibitions, including one of its most discussed showcases, Forging a Strong Sense of Community for the Chinese Nation. By integrating innovative exhibits and state-of-the-art technologies, the museum is revitalizing its collections. For example, interactive multimedia components are used to deepen visitor engagement. In the Unified Nation hall, the Petal Wall of Ancient Texts blends artistic visuals with cultural knowledge. Each petal holds a small book box containing a reproduction of ancient texts. When visitors activate a petal, a book is revealed, offering an immersive experience into history. “Through simple interactive actions, visitors can gain a deeper understanding of the stories behind the artifacts and ancient texts, enhancing their comprehension and appreciation of the exhibition’s theme,” Cui remarked. The Cultural Palace of Nationalities, founded 65 years ago, has been home to over 1,700 exhibitions both domestically and internationally. These exhibitions have showcased the contributions and accomplishments of various ethnic groups. In addition to its domestic impact, the museum plays a vital role in promoting cultural exchanges. International exhibitions in countries such as Japan, the United States, France, and South Korea have featured the traditional arts of Southwest China’s Xizang Autonomous Region, ethnic attire, and other cultural treasures, providing global audiences with a unique insight into China’s diverse heritage. “By showcasing the unique charm of China’s outstanding traditional heritage, they enhance international cultural exchange and understanding, playing an important role in promoting Chinese culture,” Cui said.
Lynn Nelson-Stevens, director of workforce development at Goodwill Industries of North Louisiana, Inc. Lynn Nelson-Stevens, director of workforce development at Goodwill Industries of North Louisiana, Inc. Facebook Twitter WhatsApp SMS Email Print Copy article link Save On Lynn Nelson-Steven’s Facebook page is a quote from James Dean. "Dream as if you will live forever, live like you will die today." Those who came into contact with her throughout her remarkable life know that she did both. Nelson-Stevens died Friday night, surrounded by family and friends. Plans to celebrate her life will be announced soon. As online tributes pour in, it is apparent that Nelson-Stevens was a force of nature. For the many years that I knew her, Nelson-Stevens needed a wheelchair to get around. She was a fighter, who used the chair as a tool as she worked to improve the lives of those who were dealing with a rough hand. She came to her social services work after studying biology and business at Wisconsin's Northland College. She landed jobs as a regional manager at Pepsi, and as executive director of the Children’s Museum of Eastern Oregon. Nelson-Stevens is known locally as the former director of administration at Shreveport’s Providence House for homeless women and families, as the Chief Operating Officer for the United Way of Northwest Louisiana, and most recently as the director of workforce development at Goodwill Industries of North Louisiana, Inc. These were the jobs that allowed her to combine her knowledge of business with opportunities for those dealing with disabilities and disadvantages. In August, I called Nelson-Stevens to get a comment about a special event Goodwill was hosting, and our ten minute conversation turned into a much longer talk, punctuated with Goodwill numbers and stats, and cheeky, hilarious stories. Who knew that someone had once dropped a casket and a grenade off at a Goodwill drop box? She wove her funny "you won’t believe this" tales into the storied mission of why Goodwill mattered when it was founded 125 years ago and why it still matters to the many locals who are being taught employment skills today. We all have conversations that make us energized, and that one did. It also made me happy that Nelson-Stevens was where she was, fighting the good fight for those who were either unable, did not know how, or that they could. In a photo on her Facebook page Nelson-Stevens is sitting next to a sign that says "Find your cause, Give your best, Transform your community. Lynn Nelson-Stevens did all three, and she would be the first to tell us that we need to do the same.Algert Global LLC acquired a new stake in AST SpaceMobile, Inc.
