Election Day (Fact And Story Mix) Lyrics by Arcadia

Truth is not to be found in facts Because facts took place in the past. And for each fact there's a counter-fact. Truth can only lie in the future. The only truth is a cri, or belief A belief in a better future. Eliminating crime and anti-social behavior And aiming at the improvement of the human race And by voting for those political candidates Who do have these goals.

Gen Z Is Saving Money by Living With Parents; It's Going to Cost Them

Gen Z Is Saving Money by Living With Parents; It's Going to Cost Them : Clark is not alone. There are 620,000 more adults living with their parents in the UK than a decade ago. In the US, the percentage of young adults living at home has climbed 87% over the past two decades, according to the US Census Bureau. Now more than half of 18- to 24-year-olds in America are living with their parents. And in a recent survey by RentCafe, 41% of adult Gen Z respondents who lived with family said they thought they'd be living with other family members for at least another two years.

Uncovering The Dark Underworld Of Illegal Sports Streaming And PiracyByOmar

https://sportsjournal.io/uncovering-dark-underworld-illegal-sports-streaming-piracy/ According to Sports AI company Sponsorlytix, there were 622.4 million visits to sports piracy websites and mobile app downloads / activity in 2023. And close to a billion in 2022 due to the FIFA Qatar World Cup 2022. Advertising on illegal streaming sites, mobile apps and fire-sticks subscriptions is estimated to be worth $350 million globally. The illegal streaming of sports tournaments, leagues and events can cost the industry between $500 million to $1 billion annually in lost sponsorship, advertising and tv broadcast subscription revenues. In 2023, the English Premier League began a crackdown against illegal streams after police raided 1,000 homes, jailed a gang (that sold fire-stick subscriptions), who had earned more than $9 million from subscribers. But as per our research, those numbers do not add up. Top 5 Illegally Streamed Sports Tournaments 2023 Illegal Streams (m) 0 100 200 300 400 FI

Last year they withdrew from the Coastal Plain League, and now operate as a kind of full-time touring act, taking on local invitational sides as well as a hired pantomime nemesis called the Party Animals. Breaking out of the structures of organised baseball and leaning into the world of stunts and scripted entertainment has allowed them to unlock revenue streams unimaginable to most local sporting teams: an ESPN documentary, a global merchandising business, commercial and brand partnerships.

Heat denial: influencers question validity of high temperatures | Climate crisis | The Guardian : In a tweet seen millions of times, the influencer Robin Monotti said in July that media outlets were repeating a report from the European Space Agency (ESA) that confused air temperature with ground temperature, which is generally higher.

He said the higher figures were ground temperatures which could not be compared with the standard measurement temperature.
