3239162	有图 <p> <p>O presidente Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva anunciou nesta sexta-feira, 8 de agosto, um amplo pacote de investimentos do Governo Federal em áreas estratégicas para o desenvolvimento social, econômico e ambiental de Rondônia. A cerimônia foi realizada no Teatro Estadual Palácio das Artes, em Porto Velho, com a participação de ministros, lideranças locais e representantes de comunidades beneficiadas.</p><p>“Eu queria dizer para vocês a minha imensa alegria de voltar a esse estado. Eu demorei dois anos e meio para vir aqui, porque a gente estava tentando reconstruir o desmantelamento que tinha sido feito nesse país”, ressaltou o presidente.</p>Eu queria dizer para vocês a minha imensa alegria de voltar a esse estado. Eu demorei dois anos e meio para vir aqui, porque a gente estava tentando reconstruir o desmantelamento que tinha sido feito nesse país" </p><p>LUIZ INÁCIO LULA DA SILVA</p><p>Presidente da República<p>Lula reforçou o seu empenho em ouvir e atender às demandas dos governadores e prefeitos do país para melhorar a qualidade de vida da população. “Esses anúncios que nós viemos fazer aqui, de títulos de terra, do programa Luz para Todos, outra vez, essas ações que a gente vai fazer na educação, é o que a gente vai fazer daqui para frente”, afirmou. “Nós vamos voltar aqui, se Deus quiser, para inaugurar o hospital universitário”, completou.</p><p>PONTE BINACIONAL — Um dos destaques da agenda foi a assinatura da ordem de serviço para implantação da ponte binacional sobre o Rio Mamoré, que ligará Guajará-Mirim (RO) a Guayaramerín (Bolívia). A obra, prevista no Novo PAC, terá 1,22 km de extensão, 17,3 metros de largura e custo estimado em R$ 421 milhões. A previsão é que a construção leve 36 meses e beneficie diretamente mais de 180 mil pessoas na região de fronteira, fortalecendo a integração sul-americana.</p><p>O presidente da Bolívia, Luis Arce, afirmou que a cerimônia desta sexta-feira marcou um dia especial para o povo boliviano, devido à concretização do sonho da construção da ponte. “Essa obra, além da infraestrutura, é um símbolo de integração que fortalecerá a nossa relação com o Brasil, uma relação de irmandade entre dois povos”, ressaltou.</p><p>A ministra Simone Tebet (Planejamento e Orçamento) pontuou que o governo quer diminuir as desigualdades sociais e regionais, por meio de iniciativas como a integração sul-americana. “Essa ponte de Guajará-Mirim não é só uma dívida histórica que nós temos com a Bolívia — e foi preciso que o presidente Lula voltasse ao poder para que nós pudéssemos cumprir essa missão. Mas é mais do que isso, junto com ela vem a duplicação de uma estrada fundamental”, disse. Tebet também apontou a importância do projeto da Ferrovia Bioceânica Brasil-Peru, que visa conectar o Atlântico ao Pacífico, passando por Rondônia.</p><p>“Enquanto alguns constroem muros, separam as pessoas, criam dificuldades para o mundo, o presidente Lula volta ao governo para construir ponte e integrar o Brasil e a Bolívia”, declarou o ministro dos Transportes, Renan Filho. Ele também lembrou que o Governo Federal aplicou R$ 460 milhões na malha rodoviária do estado em 2023 e R$ 600 milhões em 2024, contra R$ 145 milhões investidos pelo governo anterior em 2022.</p><p>HOSPITAL UNIVERSITÁRIO – Na área educacional, houve a autorização para a implantação do primeiro hospital universitário de Rondônia. A iniciativa será viabilizada por meio de Acordo de Cooperação Técnica entre a Universidade Federal de Rondônia (Unir), a Empresa Brasileira de Serviços Hospitalares (Ebserh) – ambas vinculadas ao Ministério da Educação (MEC) – e a Prefeitura de Porto Velho. O documento prevê a desocupação, a reforma e a doação do prédio por parte da Prefeitura de Porto Velho à Unir.</p><p>“Só na educação, o presidente Lula está fazendo investimentos na ordem de R$ 276 milhões em obras do Novo PAC, em Rondônia, fora o hospital. O que uma mãe e um pai mais querem na vida é ter um futuro bom para o seu filho. E não há outro caminho de um futuro melhor para as pessoas, para o jovem, do que para a educação. Cuidar das pessoas é investir fortemente na educação”, destacou o ministro da Educação, Camilo Santana.</p><p>Hoje estivemos em Porto Velho, onde anunciamos novos investimentos do Governo Federal para Rondônia.

3239156	有图 <p>It is now more than a month after former governor of Kano State, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, “resigned” as national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), but the dust over the manner by which he left office has not settled with many wondering how he “fell out” with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and other power brokers in the party.</p><p>Also, following his resignation, many thought that he would be offered another position of similar weight or something close to that, but that has not happened.</p> <p>Recall that in January 2025, President Tinubu appointed Ganduje as the chairman of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), but was only inaugurated in July, a few days after he seized to be the national chairman of the ruling party.</p><p>SPONSOR AD</p> <p>There were insinuations in some quarters that after his exit as chairman of the APC, and despite the claim that he wanted to go and attend to his health, Ganduje would swap position with the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), George Akume but that did not materialise.</p> 2027 permutations: No cold war between Tinubu, Ganduje 2027 permutations: APC is miscalculating on Kano – Yakassai<p>Even though some sources close to Ganduje in separate interviews with the Weekend Trust insisted that he left the coveted seat on his own volition, other sources said he was forced out of the equation in order to negotiate with the leaders of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), notably the former governor of Kano State, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso and the governor, Abba Yusuf, to join the APC due to the cult followership the latter enjoys in Kano State and the relationship between him and President Tinubu which started since both were governors between 1999 and 2003.</p><p>Our correspondent was reliably informed that the plan could not pull through as APC stakeholders in Kano are not forthcoming in working with the NNPP leaders due to past experiences.</p><p>Sources said the case of Kano is different from that of other states because once the NNPP stalwarts are allowed into the party, most of the current APC leaders in the state would abandon the party due to the irreconcilable differences between them and the NNPP leaders.</p><p>“Many of them can’t possibly work together and that is the dilemma the party has found itself in because once you give opportunity to Kwankwaso and his group to migrate to the APC, the likes of Ganduje and others would either remain placid or move out of the party because they can’t work together,” one of the source said.</p><p>The situation, another source indicate, has made it difficult to complement the initial plan of wooing the NNPP leaders in a bid to win Kano in the 2027 elections as it can neither move ahead with the plan or go back since a new national chairman from the North Central has been appointed.</p><p>When Ganduje resigned on June 27, he stated that it was on grounds of ill health but few days after that, he was seen at the inauguration of the board of FAAN and shortly after, he visited the late President Muhammadu Buhari’s family in London.</p><p>Observers noted that seeing that he appeared strong enough on the two occasions, it was obvious that health condition did not prevent him from moving about, hence insinuations that his resignation had little or nothing to do with ill health.</p><p>It is believed that Ganduje vacated the position of national chairman of the APC for three reasons;</p><p>The first reason, according to sources, was that he was asked to step aside with a promise for a bigger position in order to pave way for Kwankwaso to join the party.</p><p>Secondly, there are allegations that he had fallen out with the presidency and was asked to go and thirdly, that it was to placate the North Central region which agitation for retention of the seat after the exit of Abdullahi Adamu became a heated issue.</p><p>More than one month after the former chairman left the position, however, Ganduje has neither been compensated with a bigger position nor has Kwankwaso joined the APC.</p><p>Truce with Kwankwaso</p><p>Weekend Trust learnt from a very reliable source close to the former national chairman that his travail began when on assuming office, he was told point-blank to go and reconcile with his former boss and political ally, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso.</p><p>The source said this was a very had pill for Ganduje to swallow as he had not only parted ways with Kwankwaso, but had also drawn the battle line with him.</p><p>He was, however, said to have managed that situation, even though he was not happy about it thinking that he would be able to win the president over in due course.</p><p>“It was a tough moment for him when they said he should go and reconcile with Kwankwaso and thought that the pressure will fizzle out with time.</p><p>“But the call on him to act quickly persisted from the powers that be. Unfortunately, Ganduje was a bit reluctant in his approach to the matter which also sounded somehow to the Kwankwaso camp,” the source said.</p><p>He also cited the manner in which Ganduje spoke during a certain occasion on the rumoured return of Kwankwaso and went ahead to quote what the former chairman said.</p><p>The source said, “Let me take you back to when Dr Ganduje received in audience, the Minister of State, Housing and Urban Development, Yusuf Ata, at the APC national headquarters in Abuja. The then chairman said: ‘The APC is deepening and widening democracy in the country. Kwankwaso is a fish out of water, trying to find its way back into the waters. We cannot say we can’t accommodate him, because a friend in need is a friend indeed. We don’t want to leave him completely abandoned. We can still have him in, if he wants to join us. When you see your son running to where he would get shelter and you are a big brother in a big home, I think it is morally right to accommodate him. So, we cannot say we cannot accommodate him,”’ the source recalled, alleging that the words do not sound reconciliatory.</p><p>Another source said that even though Ganduje did very well as chairman by getting more members including governors into the party, the earlier thinking of the president about having Kwankwaso was not forgotten.</p><p>The last straw, Weekend Trust gathered was his inability to balance the chairmanship tickets of the party in the six area council of the FCT as requested by someone very close to the president on a 50-50 basis between the two major faiths in the country.</p><p>Unfortunately, the source said the choice of a lady for one of the tickets could not pull through, thereby altering the earlier instructions of having three each for the two faiths as against the 4-2 that emerged.</p><p>This was said to have angered the president’s close ally, who made the request and therefore persuaded Tinubu to ease him (Ganduje) off.</p><p>There are also indications that the presidency believes Kwankwaso controls the chunk of the votes in Kano and as such, a better option to work with in 2027, it was gathered.</p><p>There are observations that since the time he left the APC, Ganduje has not strayed close to the party or the presidency.</p><p>This has been interpreted as a confirmation that the former chairman did not voluntarily resign and maybe harbouring some grudges.</p><p>Party members who spoke with our correspondents in Kano on condition of anonymity said on three occasions that the former chairman was supposed to be in Kano to show his solidary to the president, the vice president and the APC, he was nowhere near the state.</p><p>“The excuse is that he travelled out of the country but the question you should ask yourself is whether Ganduje would have missed such opportunities were he to be in the position of national chairman no matter where he was,” the source said.</p><p>Ganduje’s aides and associates, however, do not see the situation in that light and have attributed his absence in the country to his resolve to rest after serving the party.</p><p>Chief of Staff to Ganduje, Malam Mohammed Garba, when contacted, said there is no problem between Ganduje and President Tinubu.</p><p>He said, “They remain bosom friends and have been in constant touch with the president who is the leader of the party. My principal was not removed as national chairman of the APC; he voluntarily resigned in the best interest of the party and to attend to some personal matters. He is currently in sound health and taking a well-deserved rest in London.</p><p>“Again, it is important to reiterate that he was not removed from office. His present stay outside the country is purely for rest, and no political party is in talks with him. Dr. Ganduje remains a committed member and leader of the APC, working tirelessly for the re-election of President Tinubu and to ensure the APC regains full control of Kano State.</p><p>“His associates are solidly working with him towards these goals, and together, they are focused on strengthening the party’s structures and ensuring electoral success at all levels.”</p><p>Another associate of Ganduje, Salihu Tanko Yakassai, explained that while Ganduje has remained loyal to the party, his associates are not happy with the way he was treated.</p><p>He said, “I’m a member of the APC, and I am aggrieved. So, if I feel that way, it’s safe to ask whether others do too.”</p><p>As the presidency keeps the blocs in Kano guessing, most of the leaders have decided to keep their fingers crossed until a concrete step is taken concerning the former national chairman.</p><p>Yakasai said: “The APC in Kano State remains strong and united. Dr. Ganduje, as the leader of the party in the state, will continue to bring his wealth of political experience to bear in ensuring the party’s victory in the 2027 elections.”</p><p>Since his exit, our correspondents learnt that though Ganduje has been trying to keep calm and has travelled outside the country to allow things simmer, it has not been easy for him to regain his composure.</p><p>Sources said that was why he did not rush back as he was wont to when the president and vice president visited Kano on condolence visits.</p><p>He was also not in hand to present the views of the government at the Kaduna summit, being the immediate past chairman of the ruling party.</p><p>The most glaring was during the stakeholders meeting held in Kano, where he was absent though some persons said he monitored the event via Skype.</p><p>But many are of the view that whatever decision is finally taken on the position of Ganduje would redefine the power configurations within the party.</p><p>At one end is the deputy president of the Senate, Jibrin Barau, who is already making efforts to increase his structure by wooing members of the NNPP to the APC. There are also speculations that Murtala Sule Garo, given his control structures at the grassroots, is bound to play a role in how things shape up for the party in Kano.</p><p>Analysts say if Ganduje remains within the party, it is not likely that Kwankwaso would be willing to join the APC given the no love lost relationship between them and if Kwankwaso finally joins the APC, there will be the battle of who should be the leader of the party in the state as the latter is not likely to take instructions from Ganduje given his position as his former boss.</p><p> <small>Sponsored</small><p>News Update: Nigerians have now been approved to get paid in US Dollars, acquire Ultra-premium domains for as low as $1700 and profit $15,000 (₦24Million naira).

Nigerians, particularly Hausas, formed part of military and trading units in Ghana.</p><p>Post-independence, the economic boom in Ghana attracted Nigerian migrants, especially the Yoruba, seeking opportunities in commerce and public service. This era reflected an informal Pan-African ideal: borderless brotherhood.</p><p>However, in 1969, the Ghanaian government under Prime Minister Kofi Abrefa Busia issued the infamous Aliens Compliance Order. It mandated all undocumented foreigners to leave Ghana within two weeks.</p><p>The move resulted in the expulsion of an estimated 140,000 Nigerians, triggering a diplomatic fallout. Ghana justified the action as a necessity to preserve jobs and stabilize its economy, but it sowed seeds of distrust.</p><p>And by 1983, the tables had turned. Nigeria, experiencing an economic downturn and rising unemployment, expelled over two million immigrants, including about one million Ghanaians. Coined as the “Ghana Must Go” episode, the term referred to the patterned travel bags used by deported Ghanaians.</p><p>Though Nigeria claimed it was enforcing immigration laws, many saw it as retaliation for Ghana’s earlier action.</p><p>Fortunately, by the late 1980s, cooler heads prevailed. Presidents Jerry Rawlings of Ghana and Ibrahim Babangida of Nigeria pursued reconciliation. A joint commission for cooperation was established, paving the way for better trade, cultural exchange, and conflict mediation. These efforts helped restore diplomatic balance and signalled a renewed commitment to ECOWAS principles of free movement.</p><p>But immigration issues resurfaced in the 2020s. In Ghana, Nigerian-owned businesses were targeted in enforcement sweeps, prompting outrage in Abuja. Nigeria accused Ghana of xenophobia, while Ghana insisted on legal compliance. As nationalism and economic protectionism gained traction globally, their echo reverberated in West Africa’s immigration policies.</p><p>In 2025, protests emerged in Ghana calling for tighter border controls. Dubbed “Nigeria Must Go”, the movement mirrored past episodes and triggered fresh diplomatic concerns. While not state-sponsored, the rhetoric risked destabilising regional peace.</p><p>‘No threats to our lives yet’</p><p>Speaking about the protest, a young Nigerian trader at Kasoa town in Accra, Mr Ezikpe Ukaku, told Weekend Trust that there was no immediate threat to Nigerians doing legitimate businesses in Ghana.</p><p>“I heard about the protests calling on Nigerians to leave Ghana, but it seemed to be instigated by certain persons to propagate an agenda, especially after a 2013 video of one Eze Ndigbo claiming to buy land to set up an Igbo Village surfaced online,” he said.</p><p>On the allegations of crime against Nigerians, he said there are concerns about some Nigerians who traffic young women to Ghana for prostitution, or to transit them to Europe, which also has local women.</p><p>“Just this month, we had the biggest arrest in Ghana by the American FBI involving eight Ghanaians in cyberfraud against Americans,” he said.</p><p>Regarding why many Nigerians continue to live in Ghana, he pointed to the country’s stable electricity supply and responsive security, despite battling high inflation and hardship.</p><p>Also speaking, Chukwuemeka Nnaji, a former President of the Nigerian Union of Traders Association, Ghana (NUTAG), said there were no threats to their life and property for now.</p><p>“We are really fine. Not much is happening. Yes, the protests that we all witnessed happened on Sunday, and Sundays are not business days here.</p><p>“So, you can just understand that it’s just the social media people trying to create some kind of attention. However, as a people, nobody has attacked us or our businesses, and nobody has attacked us directly.</p><p>Similarly, Eddison Agbenyegah, Ghana’s Deputy Head of Mission in Nigeria, assured Weekend Trust that there was no cause for alarm.</p><p>“Nigerians can continue with their daily activities. the protesters are just some people who gathered to do a social media protest.</p><p>“There is no danger to Nigerians in Ghana, I can assure you of that,” he said.</p><p>Cause for alarm- FG</p><p>Meanwhile, the Federal Government has called for calm over the protests.</p><p>The Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM), in a statement by Hon. Abike Dabiri-Erewa, its Chairman/CEO, urged Nigerians living in Ghana not to be provoked or become violent with anyone, as the issue was being handled at the diplomatic level.</p><p>She said the blanket outrage against Nigerians living in Ghana and branding them as criminals should be condemned by all.</p><p>“Nigerians are not criminals. They are good ambassadors wherever they find themselves, while those bad ones should be fished out to face necessary sanctions.</p><p>“Ghana and Nigeria are like Siamese twins. They are brothers and in the spirit of ECOWAS and regional integration, should continue to live in peace like brothers,” she noted in a statement signed by Abdur-Rahman Balogun, spokesperson of NIDCOM.</p><p>Dabiri-Erewa also advised Nigerians to disregard videos circulating that Nigerians’ shops and property were being destroyed by Ghanaians, saying, “There is no evidence to that, and we must at all costs try to prevent any reprisal attacks”.</p><p>Similarly, the spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Kimiebi Ebienfa, said the government would handle the issue diplomatically.</p><p>He said, “We will engage them diplomatically.”</p><p>No room for xenophobia – Ghana president</p><p>On his part, President John Mahama of Ghana has reaffirmed the country’s commitment to the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) protocols, stating that there’s no place for xenophobia in Ghana.</p><p>Mahama disclosed this while receiving President Bola Tinubu’s special envoy, led by the Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Amb. Bianca Odumegwu-Ojukwu, at the Presidential Palace, Accra, Ghana.</p><p>The Ghanaian president reiterated his commitment to advancing the ECOWAS protocols, especially on the free movement of persons and goods in the region.</p><p>Mahama asked the envoy to convey his message to President Tinubu, urging that he should not lose sleep over recent protests against Nigerian nationals resident in his country.</p><p>According to him, Nigeria and Ghana are brothers with shared history, assuring that his government would not allow anything to come between them.</p><p>He restated that the recirculation of an old video made by a Nigerian residing in Ghana over 10 years ago had generated tension, but announced that the situation had been swiftly managed.</p><p>He said that the protesters were not up to 50, assuring the envoy of the safety and protection of the lives, property and businesses of Nigeria and Nigerians in Ghana.</p><p> <small>Sponsored</small><p>News Update: Nigerians have now been approved to get paid in US Dollars, acquire Ultra-premium domains for as low as $1700 and profit $15,000 (₦24Million naira).

3239150	有图 <p>In Georgia, a wedding is more than just the union of two people. It is an event filled with profound symbolism, respect for ancestors, and a celebration of family ties. A Georgian wedding is a ritual that has been passed down through generations, reflecting the nation’s rich history and cultural heritage.</p><p>One of the key features of a Georgian wedding is its grandeur. Celebrating this day in a small circle is uncommon; instead, a wedding is a festive occasion not only for family but also for friends, neighbors, distant relatives, and even acquaintances of acquaintances. In traditional Georgian culture, the more guests there are, the happier and more prosperous the couple’s life together is believed to be.</p> <p>Georgian weddings are renowned for their emotional depth, sincerity, and joy. They combine ancient customs, lively dances, masterful toasts, and incredible hospitality — elements that make the celebration unforgettable not only for the bride and groom but also for everyone in attendance.</p><p>SPONSOR AD</p> <p>However, despite the deep respect for traditions, Georgian weddings have evolved over time. Today, you can witness how ancient rituals blend with modern trends: young couples adapt the celebration to suit their preferences while preserving the essence of Georgian culture. Just as centuries ago, a wedding remains an event that unites families and leaves an indelible mark on the memories of all who take part.</p>Pre-wedding rituals and preparation<p>A Georgian wedding is a complex, multi-layered process that begins long before the actual celebration. Pre-wedding rituals play a crucial role in shaping the future union, preparing not only the bride and groom but also their families for this significant event.</p>Matchmaking (Makhlaoba)<p>In the past, the groom’s family took the initiative: respected men would negotiate the marriage terms and discuss the dowry. A key figure in this process was the “mediator,” who presented the groom in the best possible light. It was common for the couple not to meet before the matchmaking. Today, young couples decide to marry independently, and matchmaking has evolved into a formal introduction of the parents.</p>Engagement (Nisna)<p>This ritual symbolized the families’ agreement to the marriage. The groom would present the bride with a ring, blessings would be given, and a festive meal would follow. The engagement was considered just as important as the wedding itself, as the bride was officially welcomed into the groom’s family. Nowadays, this tradition has taken on a more romantic nature, with families marking the occasion with a small celebration.</p>Choosing the wedding dateThe wedding date is selected with several factors in mind: Church calendar — Weddings are scheduled outside of fasting periods and typically follow major religious holidays. Folk beliefs — Friday and Sunday are considered particularly auspicious days. Seasonal considerations — Weddings are most often held in summer and autumn when outdoor celebrations are more feasible.<p>Thus, pre-wedding rituals in Georgia are more than just preparation for the big day — they are meaningful traditions that strengthen the bond between two families and lay the foundation for the couple’s future life together.</p>Wedding day: key traditions and rituals<p>On the wedding day, it’s not just two people coming together — their families unite as well, forming a bond that is considered unbreakable in Georgian culture. The day follows a well-defined sequence of events, where every detail holds symbolic significance.</p>Bride’s ransom<p>The festivities begin with the traditional bride’s ransom — a joyful ritual where the groom must “win over” his chosen one. The bride’s relatives demand a symbolic ransom or challenge the groom with playful tasks, such as guessing her favorite color, singing a song, or performing a dance. This tradition emphasizes the groom’s willingness to fight for his love.</p>Procession to the groom’s home<p>After the ransom, the bride travels to the groom’s home, accompanied by family and friends. This journey often turns into a lively procession with music and dancing. By tradition, the groom’s mother greets the couple at the doorstep with honey and walnuts — symbols of a sweet and prosperous life. The bride tastes a piece and then breaks a plate for good luck.</p><p>Church wedding ceremony</p><p>The wedding ceremony in the Georgian Orthodox Church is a significant ritual symbolizing the couple’s spiritual union. The bride and groom enter the church holding candles, and the priest leads them three times around the lectern. Crowns are placed on their heads, signifying the responsibility they bear toward one another. However, not all couples opt for a church ceremony today, especially if they come from different religious backgrounds.</p>Civil registration<p>The official marriage registration takes place at the House of Justice or through an off-site ceremony. The couple signs documents, exchanges rings, and receives a marriage certificate. For many, this step is seen as a formality, as the main focus remains on traditional customs and the wedding feast.</p>Celebration: feast, music, and dancing<p>Following the church ceremony and official registration, the most vibrant and emotional part of the wedding begins — a grand celebration that can last several days. In Georgia, a wedding feast isn’t just an evening event; it’s an extravagant occasion often attended by several hundred guests, sometimes even more.</p>The traditional wedding feast (supra) — the heart of the celebration<p>A Georgian supra is not just a feast; it’s a meaningful ritual that highlights the family’s hospitality and prosperity. The tables are generously laden with traditional dishes such as:</p> Shashlik (Mtsvadi) — symbolizing the strong bond between families. Khachapuri and Pkhali — representing abundance and fertility. Satsivi and Lobio — traditional delicacies that demonstrate respect for the guests.<p>The feast can continue until morning and sometimes stretch across several days, especially in rural areas.</p>Toasts and the role of the tamada — the philosophy of the Georgian feast<p>One of the most essential traditions is the series of heartfelt toasts led by the tamada. This is not just a toastmaster, but a wise speaker who directs the flow and sets the mood of the gathering.</p><p>Each toast carries profound meaning:</p> The first is for God and peace. The second honors parents, whose love and guidance made this day possible. The third is dedicated to the newlyweds, celebrating their love and wishing them a long and happy life together.<p>Toasts are often enriched with historical parables, poetic comparisons, and metaphors, transforming the feast into a philosophical conversation.</p>Music and dance — lezginka, kartuli, and other national dances<p>A Georgian wedding is unimaginable without dancing, which reflects the culture and character of the nation.</p> Lezginka — a fast, energetic dance where the man showcases his strength, while the woman displays grace and modesty. Kartuli — a dance of love, performed as an elegant dialogue between the bride and groom. Khorumi — a dance performed by men, symbolizing bravery and military valor.<p>The wedding music blends traditional instruments such as the duduk, panduri, and changi with modern arrangements, creating a unique and lively atmosphere.</p>Symbolism and superstitions at a Georgian wedding<p>Georgian weddings are rich in symbolic gestures and beliefs designed to ensure good fortune and protect the couple from misfortune.</p>What not to do at a wedding: omens and beliefs<p>Georgians pay close attention to signs that might influence the newlyweds’ future. One of the most significant beliefs is the prohibition of tears — the bride should not cry, as this is thought to foretell sorrow in married life. Brides are often given a handkerchief or ribbon to wipe away tears of joy.</p><p>It’s also believed that the groom should not see the bride before the wedding, as this may bring bad luck to their union.</p><p>Weddings are traditionally held during daylight hours, symbolizing clarity, purity of intentions, and love. Nighttime ceremonies, associated with mystery, are considered less auspicious.</p>Wedding attire for the bride and groom: traditional elements of wedding outfits<p>Wedding attire in Georgia is rich in symbolism. The bride traditionally wears a dress adorned with embroidery or lace, symbolizing her connection to her ancestors. A dress featuring a green element represents fertility and abundance. The groom often wears a traditional Georgian outfit, including a chokha (a traditional coat) and leather gloves to protect against the “evil eye.” Jewelry is typically a family heirloom, passed down from generation to generation.</p>Special rituals for protecting the family and future children<p>Georgia has various rituals designed to protect the family and ensure its well-being. One of the most well-known traditions is throwing a coin into water during the wedding ceremony, symbolizing wishes for wealth and prosperity. The bride and groom may also walk under an arch made of branches, symbolizing their new path in life. The wedding feast traditionally includes the first blessing from the family’s elders, who wish the newlyweds happiness and success.</p>Modern Georgian weddings<p>Modern wedding traditions in Georgia combine elements of ancient customs with Western trends. Georgia has become a popular wedding destination, especially for foreign couples seeking a unique atmosphere and rich history.</p><p>Weddings in Georgia increasingly incorporate Western influences, such as hiring professional planners, creating themed celebrations, and adding international elements. However, even in the most contemporary ceremonies, Georgian traditions remain evident — for example, the bride’s ransom ritual and the Orthodox church wedding ceremony.</p><p>Music is an essential part of Georgian weddings. Live performances of traditional Georgian folk songs are common, creating a distinct and memorable atmosphere. At the same time, modern weddings often feature entertainment programs, fireworks, and elaborate lighting displays, aligning with international standards.</p>Weddings for foreigners in Georgia: why the country is gaining popularity<p>According to experts at the wedding agency Shu Wedding, Georgia’s appeal lies not only in its natural beauty but also in its unique blend of ancient traditions and modern possibilities. Many couples choose Georgia for fast marriage registration since the country’s legislation is highly accommodating. There’s no requirement to be a Georgian citizen or resident, no mandatory waiting period, and no extensive documentation for marriage approval. The primary conditions are that both partners must be unmarried, at least 18 years old, and possess valid passports.</p><p>A wedding in Georgia is more than just a celebration; it’s an important part of the country’s cultural heritage, deeply intertwined with traditions, symbols, and rituals passed down through generations. Every aspect of the ceremony, from the attire to the customs, carries meaningful messages that reflect values of family, love, and well-being.</p><p>A Georgian wedding becomes a memorable celebration not only for the newlyweds but also for their loved ones, uniting guests through shared customs and historical heritage.</p><p>In today’s world, preserving these traditions requires flexibility and respect for cultural roots, while also embracing new trends and approaches. Blending ancient customs with modern elements helps maintain authenticity while making Georgian weddings accessible to a broader audience, including international guests.

3239149	有图 <p>In today’s fast-paced world, financial emergencies can occur without warning, and sometimes, you may find yourself considering a payday loan UK to bridge the gap until your next paycheck. While payday loans can offer quick access to funds, they also come with their own set of challenges and considerations. Before you proceed with this type of borrowing, it’s crucial to understand the implications, the costs involved, and whether it’s the right choice for your financial situation.</p>Understanding Payday Loans<p>A payday loan is a short-term, high-cost credit solution designed to help you manage sudden expenses. Typically, these loans are small amounts meant to be repaid within a few weeks, usually by your next payday. While they can provide immediate relief in a financial emergency, the convenience they offer comes at a price.</p> High Costs and Interest Rates<p>One of the most critical aspects of payday loans is the high-interest rates and fees attached. The Annual Percentage Rate (APR) for these loans can be exorbitant, and if you’re unable to repay the loan on time, these costs can multiply quickly. It’s essential to carefully calculate the total repayment amount before proceeding to ensure it is within your means to repay the loan on the due date.</p><p>SPONSOR AD</p> Regulations and Protections<p>In the UK, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) regulates payday loans. There are certain protections in place for consumers, such as a cap on the total cost of the loan to ensure it does not spiral out of control. Despite these regulations, it’s important to remain vigilant and fully understand your contract before signing it. This includes reviewing all terms and conditions, as well as understanding any penalties for late or missed payments.</p>Alternatives to Consider<p>Before opting for a payday loan, explore other financial avenues that may be less costly in the long run. These might include: borrowing from friends or family, using an overdraft on your bank account, or applying for a short-term loan through a credit union. Each of these options may offer more favourable terms and prevent you from falling into a cycle of debt.</p>The Risk of a Debt Cycle<p>One of the greatest risks associated with payday loans is becoming caught in a debt cycle. If you’re unable to repay the loan on time, you might find yourself needing to take out another loan to cover the initial amount, leading to a revolving door of borrowing. This cycle can lead to severe financial distress, so it’s critical that you consider your ability to repay the loan before accepting the terms.</p>Making an Informed Decision<p>Ultimately, deciding whether to take out a payday loan should be an informed choice, based on a thorough evaluation of your financial situation. Weigh the pros and cons, consider the full costs involved, and explore all available alternatives. Financial literacy plays a crucial role when making such decisions, so ensure you have all the information and resources you need before proceeding.</p>Seeking Professional Advice<p>If you’re in a difficult financial position and are unsure about your options, it may be beneficial to seek advice from a financial advisor or a charitable debt counselling service. They can provide guidance tailored to your specific circumstances and help you chart a path towards stable financial health without the need for high-cost loans.</p><p>Remember, while payday loans can be a quick fix in dire situations, they are far from the only solution. Careful consideration and seeking appropriate advice can help protect your financial well-being in the long run.</p><p> <small>Sponsored</small><p>News Update: Nigerians have now been approved to get paid in US Dollars, acquire Ultra-premium domains for as low as $1700 and profit $15,000 (₦24Million naira).

3239142	无图 <p>De overleden oud-president Lungu van Zambia moet in zijn thuisland worden begraven, tegen de wil van zijn familie in. Een Zuid-Afrikaanse rechtbank maakte een einde aan een juridische strijd met de Zambiaanse overheid over de vraag waar de oud-president begraven moet worden.</p> <p>Edgar Lungu was president van Zambia tussen 2015 en 2021. Hij overleed in juni in een ziekenhuis in Zuid-Afrika op 68-jarige leeftijd aan een niet nader genoemde ziekte. Hij was in het land voor een medische behandeling.</p> <p>Zijn familie wilde hem in Zuid-Afrika begraven. Ook zou de huidige president van Zambia, Hakainde Hichilema, daar volgens zijn laatste wens niet bij mogen zijn. Hichilema en Lungu waren namelijk gezworen politieke vijanden.</p> Politieke aartsvijanden <p>Hun onenigheid leidde er zelfs toe dat Hichilema in 2017 gevangen werd genomen, toen Lungu nog president was. Vorig jaar beschuldigde Lungu Hichilema en zijn regering ervan de politie te hebben gebruikt om hem lastig te vallen en het hem lastig te hebben gemaakt om voor behandeling naar Zuid-Afrika te gaan.</p> <p>Mede daardoor was de wens van de familie om Hichilema ook zelfs maar niet in de buurt van de begrafenis van Lungu te hebben. Maar Hichilema liet het daar niet bij zitten. Zijn regering stapte naar de rechter om te voorkomen dat Lungu überhaupt in Zuid-Afrika begraven zou kunnen worden.</p> <p>Hichilema wilde dat Lungu zijn laatste rustplaats krijgt in de hoofdstad Lusaka, waar in het Embassy Memorial Park alle presidenten die zijn overleden sinds de onafhankelijkheid in 1964 een mausoleum hebben.</p> Staatsbegrafenis <p>Enkele uren voordat in juni de begrafenisceremonie in Zuid-Afrika zou beginnen, bepaalde de rechter dat er een uitspraak over het conflict zou moeten komen. </p> <p>De rechter geeft nu de Zambiaanse regering gelijk. "Zelfs als een president de wens heeft uitgesproken om geen staatsbegrafenis te krijgen, gaat een dergelijke wens niet boven het publieke belang", zei de Zuid-Afrikaanse rechter.</p> <p>Na de uitspraak barstte de zus van Lungu in tranen uit. De familie wil nog in hoger beroep, maar zal dan wel de rechtbank moeten zien te overtuigen dat er zicht is op een andere uitkomst.</p> <p>De procureur-generaal van Zambia zei te hopen dat de zaak met de uitspraak kan worden afgesloten. "Het is gewoon logisch dat de voormalige president van de Republiek Zambia in zijn eigen land begraven wordt, het land waar hij president was", zei hij. Hij wilde niet spreken van een overwinning.

Beide keren moest hij als gewetensvol bestuurder imagoschade herstellen.</p> <p>Webster was jarenlang advocaat geweest en had ervaring als aanklager en rechter toen president Carter hem in 1978 vroeg de FBI te gaan leiden. Zijn reputatie voor integriteit en rechtvaardigheid wogen voor de Democratische president zwaarder dan diens lidmaatschap van de Republikeinse Partij.</p> <p>De federale politie kampte op dat moment met veel negatieve publiciteit doordat J. Edgar Hoover als eerste directeur de organisatie had gebruikt om zelf veel macht te vergaren. Hoewel Hoover toen alweer zes jaar dood was, begon het na Watergate tot het grote publiek door te dringen wat hij allemaal had gedaan om meer invloed in Washington te krijgen.</p> <p>Zo had Hoover politieke tegenstanders als burgerrechtenactivist Martin Luther King laten bespioneren en was er binnen de organisatie sprake van machtsmisbruik en corruptie door Hoover-getrouwen die zich onaantastbaar waanden.</p> Professionaliseringslag <p>Webster overzag een professionaliseringslag in de organisatie waarbij FBI-agenten strenger werden beoordeeld, eerder met pensioen moesten gaan en het vacaturebeleid meer divers werd om meer vrouwen en minderheden aan te nemen. Tegelijkertijd nam hij de leiding in de aanpak van nieuwe vormen van criminaliteit, zoals een toename in vliegtuigkapingen en andere terreuracties.</p> <p>Carters opvolger Reagan vroeg Webster in 1987 om over te stappen naar inlichtingendienst CIA. Ook hier moest de onkreukbare Webster weer werken aan de reputatie van de organisatie. Zo was zijn voorganger William Casey genoemd in het Iran-Contraschandaal.</p> <p>"Elke directeur van de CIA of de FBI moet bereid zijn op te stappen als hem iets gevraagd wordt dat verkeerd is", zei hij zelf eens over het morele kompas dat aanhield in zijn werk.</p> Instorten Sovjet Unie <p>Tijdens Websters ambtstermijn kwam de CIA onder vuur te liggen omdat het het naderende einde van de Sovjet Unie totaal niet had zien aankomen. Ook de felheid van Chinese studentenprotesten in 1989 en het geweld waarmee die werden neergeslagen, had de inlichtingendiensten niet goed voorspeld.</p> <p>Tegelijkertijd kreeg de CIA veel lof voor de uitstekende inlichtingen tijdens de Eerste Golfoorlog, toen een internationale coalitie overmachtig bleek tegen de Iraakse bezetting van Koeweit. "Ik zie hem niet graag gaan", was de reactie van president Bush toen Webster in 1991 zijn pensioen aankondigde.</p> <p>Na zijn vertrek uit overheidsdienst bleef Webster nog actief als jurist. Ook was hij tussen 2005 en 2020 de voorzitter van de adviesraad voor binnenlandse veiligheid, die werd opgericht na de aanslagen van 9/11.</p> <p>"Zijn passie voor de rechtsstaat en de grootsheid van de VS maakten hem de ideale dienaar van ons land", zegt oud-president George W.

3239140	无图 <p>Vandaag, 9 augustus, is het precies 135 jaar geleden dat de eerste Javaanse contractarbeiders voet aan wal zetten in Suriname. Na de afschaffing van de slavernij in 1863 haalde Nederland tussen 1890 en 1939 vervangende arbeidskrachten uit het huidige Indonesië. Tienduizenden Javanen werden tegen een laag loon en onder erbarmelijke omstandigheden te werk gesteld op de Surinaamse plantages.</p> <p>Na de onafhankelijkheid van Suriname in 1975 kwamen ongeveer driehonderd Javaanse Surinamers naar Nederland, naar het voormalige seminarie Beekvliet in Sint-Michielgestel. Op de Javaanse begraafplaats daar hebben velen van hen, onder wie ten minste 75 contractarbeiders, hun laatste rustplaats gevonden.</p> <p>Om het veelal onbekende verhaal van de Javaans-Surinaamse contractarbeiders te erkennen en eren, wordt deze maand een monument onthuld.</p> Niet vrijwillig <p>Samen met Hariëtte Mingoen was Nurman Pasaribu een van de initiatiefnemers van het herdenkingsmonument. "Helaas kan mijn vader de onthulling niet meer meemaken", zegt zijn dochter Listy Groenland-Pasaribu.</p> <p>"Mijn overgrootmoeder werkte als Indonesische contractarbeider in Suriname. Mensen denken dat de contractarbeiders zelf naar Suriname wilden, maar daar gaat een heel ander verhaal aan vooraf. Als jonge vrouw deed zij boodschappen op de markt in Indonesië en voor ze het wist, werd ze wakker op een schip, onderweg naar Suriname. Eenmaal aangekomen werd mijn overgrootmoeder te werk gesteld op plantage Waterland."</p> <p>Over deze pijnlijke geschiedenis wordt binnen de Javaanse gemeenschap weinig gesproken, merkt Groenland-Pasaribu. "Uit schaamte, pijn en verdriet."</p> <p>"Ik heb mijn overgrootmoeder gekend. Ze sprak niet graag over deze periode van haar leven, waardoor deze verhalen verborgen bleven."</p> <p>"Mijn verhaal is net iets anders. Mijn moeder is geboren in Suriname, maar mijn vader in Indonesië. Hij is uit zichzelf naar Suriname vertrokken, waardoor hij wist hoe zijn verleden in elkaar zat. Veel andere Javanen hebben geen idee waar zij vandaan komen."</p> <p>De vader van Groenland-Pasaribu dook in de geschiedenis van haar overgrootmoeder en wist delen van haar geschiedenis te ontrafelen. "In het dorp waar ze is geboren, werd niets genoteerd. We wisten niet eens zeker hoe oud ze was. Voor haar overlijden kreeg ze de kans om nog een keer naar Indonesië te gaan. Dat was zo"n mooie openbaring voor haar."</p> "Meer dan slechts een nummer" <p>Ook haar overgrootmoeder vond op de begraafplaats in Sint-Michielgestel haar laatste rustplaats, waar het monument nu ook haar zal eren. "In Nederland wordt er weinig gesproken over de geschiedenis van de Javaanse contractarbeiders. Op de boot waren zij slechts een nummer, maar door het herdenkingsmonument worden ze meer."</p> <p>Nazaten van de Javaans-Surinaamse contractarbeiders zijn juist wel bezig met hun geschiedenis. Zo ook de 28-jarige Amber Moehamadkasbi, die wetenschappelijk onderzoek doet naar Javaanse contractarbeiders.</p> <p>"Als mensen voornamelijk bezig zijn met overleven, is er geen tijd om na te denken over het verleden. Wij, de nieuwe generatie, zijn bezig met helen. Van mijn moeder hoorde ik over de erbarmelijke omstandigheden waarin de contractarbeiders op de plantages moesten overleven", vertelt Moehamadkasbi.</p> <p>Moehamadkasbi zegt dat contractarbeiders zo goed als vogelvrij waren door de poenale sanctie, het systeem dat slavernij verving in Suriname. Arbeiders hadden nauwelijks rechten maar konden zwaar worden gestraft voor contractbreuk.</p> <p>"Door de poenale sanctie kregen Nederlandse plantagehouders vrij spel. Ze mochten contractarbeiders verkrachten, verminken en misbruiken. Wandaden werden beschermd. Zo heftig was het voor onze voorouders, die heel sterke en veerkrachtige mensen waren. Deze heftige dingen hebben veel leed veroorzaakt, intergenerationeel trauma."</p> Trots en verdriet <p>Met haar onderzoek hoopt Moehamadkasbi meer licht te schijnen op dit deel van de Nederlandse geschiedenis, iets wat volgens haar te weinig gebeurt. "Het is dubbel. Enerzijds kom ik nader tot de contractarbeiders en voel ik veel trots.</p> <p>"Anderzijds maakt het me verdrietig. Hoe heeft het zo ver kunnen komen? In Nederland wordt de geschiedenis van voormalig Nederlands-Indië geromantiseerd. Over de negatieve impact op de gemeenschap wordt gezwegen. Het gaat vooral om het geld dat er werd verdiend."</p> <p>De koloniale doorwerking is nog altijd voelbaar in de huidige samenleving, stelt ze. "Nazaten worden voorzien van foute informatie, dat contractarbeiders vrijwillig naar Suriname gingen. Ook is er nog altijd geen sprake van sociale gelijkheid. Voor nazaten is het belangrijk dat ze historisch bewustzijn krijgen. Onze plek in Nederland is ons niet gegeven, maar is verdiend."</p> <p>"We moeten de Javaanse contractarbeiders herdenken en hen vieren. We zijn belangrijk geweest. Ik gun alle nazaten het gevoel dat ze hier mogen zijn, want op basis van onze geschiedenis hebben we daar recht op."</p> Javaans-Surinaamse contractarbeiders krijgen na 135 jaar een monument	查看 5146	荷兰国家广播电视台	2025-08-09 14:58:23 2025-08-10 01:45:27	word
3239139	无图 <p>De Oekraïense president Zelensky heeft gereageerd op de uitspraak van president Trump dat alle partijen in de oorlog dicht bij een staakt-het-vuren zouden zijn. Volgens Trump zou daarbij sprake zijn van een ruil van grondgebied.</p> <p>Zelensky reageert dat Oekraïne geen grondgebied zal afstaan. Hij heeft dat herhaaldelijk van de hand gewezen.</p> <p>Het afstaan van grondgebied kan volgens Zelensky ook niet volgens de Oekraïense grondwet. "Niemand zal hiervan kunnen afwijken. Oekraïners zullen hun land niet aan de bezetter geven", zegt de Oekraïense president in een videoboodschap.</p> <p>Trump kondigde gisteravond aan dat hij komende vrijdag de Russische president Poetin zal ontmoeten in de Amerikaanse staat Alaska. Trump zei daarbij dat een staakt-het-vuren dichtbij is.</p> Geen doorbraak <p>The Wall Street Journal schrijft dat Poetin bereid is om een einde te maken aan de oorlog als Oekraïne de Donbas, in het oosten, aan Rusland afstaat. Poetin zou dat voorstel hebben overhandigd aan de Amerikaanse topdiplomaat Steve Witkoff, die afgelopen woensdag in Moskou was om de weg vrij te maken voor de ontmoeting met Trump.</p> <p>"Natuurlijk zullen we Rusland niet belonen voor wat het heeft gedaan", reageert Zelensky vanochtend op dat bericht over het voorstel. "We zijn bereid om samen te werken met president Trump, samen met alle partners, voor een echte, en vooral duurzame vrede die niet uit elkaar zal vallen vanwege de wens van Moskou."</p> <p>Trump zou volgens The Wall Street Journal Poetins voorstel niet zien als een doorbraak, maar wel interessant genoeg hebben geacht om volgende week een ontmoeting met Poetin te hebben.</p> Dreigende sancties <p>De Amerikaanse krant schrijft dat Europese landen sceptisch naar Poetins voorstel kijken. Diplomaten denken dat hij met het voorstel om de oorlog te beëindigen onder Amerikaanse sancties probeert uit te komen.</p> <p>Trump heeft sinds hij begin dit jaar weer in het Witte Huis zit gezegd dat hij zo snel mogelijk een einde wilde maken aan de oorlog in Oekraïne, maar eerdere pogingen daartoe hebben nog weinig resultaat opgeleverd. De afgelopen weken voerde hij de druk flink op door te dreigen met sancties voor landen die nog steeds olie van Rusland afnemen.</p> <p>Het afgelopen halfjaar zei Trump steeds meer het geduld met Poetin te verliezen. "Ik wil dat hij stopt met aanvallen en een deal tekent", zei Trump eind april. Trump vroeg zich daarbij openlijk af of hij niet door Poetin aan het lijntje wordt gehouden.</p> Overleg in Verenigd Koninkrijk <p>De Amerikaanse vicepresident Vance overlegt vandaag in het Verenigd Koninkrijk met een aantal Europese veiligheidsadviseurs over de oorlog in Oekraïne. Vance is een aantal dagen met vakantie in het VK, maar combineert die met een aantal overleggen en ontmoetingen.</p> <p>Het overleg is georganiseerd samen met de Britse buitenlandminister Lammy. De Britse premier Starmer heeft ook met president Zelensky gebeld om vooruit te blikken op de top tussen Trump en Poetin.</p> Zelensky herhaalt in aanloop naar top: 'Oekraïne zal geen land aan bezetter geven'	查看 3108	荷兰国家广播电视台	2025-08-09 15:29:10 2025-08-10 01:45:27	word
3239138	无图 <p>De sportwinkelketen Decathlon roept producten terug vanwege de veiligheid. Het gaat om fietswielen van het merk Swiss Side en paardensnoepjes van het merk Fougatreats.</p> <p>Decathlon roept de RCR Pro Ultegra / RCR Dura Ace-racefietsen terug met de fietswielen Hadron² Classic 500 en Hadron² Ultimate 500. Het gaat om fietsen verkocht in de periode vanaf augustus vorig jaar tot afgelopen maandag.</p> <p>De lagen van het materiaal kunnen loslaten waardoor het wiel kan breken tijdens het gebruik, wat een veiligheidsrisico vormt voor de gebruiker, schrijft de sportwinkel. "Dit is een risico op ongevallen, met mogelijk materiële schade, ernstig letsel of zelfs overlijden tot gevolg."</p> <p>Decathlon roept gebruikers op om te stoppen met het gebruik ervan en via de fabrikant te controleren of het betrekking heeft op hun fietswielen. Klanten kunnen contact opnemen met Swiss Side over de terugroepactie.</p> <p>De fabrikant zegt dat er geen slachtoffers bekend zijn, maar dat de gebreken naar voren kwamen in kwaliteitscontroles. De wielen werden los verkocht en als onderdeel van bepaalde fietsen bij meerdere online winkels of speciaalzaken.</p> Paardensnoepjes <p>Ook de paardensnoepjes van het merk Fougatreats worden teruggeroepen. Het gaat om partijen van de 3-kilozakken aardbei/vijg/paardenbloem-luzerne en kilozakken paardenbloem-alfalfa. Het gaat om producten verkocht tussen maart en afgelopen woensdag.</p> <p>Er zitten mogelijk niet-eetbare vreemde voorwerpen in "die lichamelijk letsel aan het paard/pony kunnen veroorzaken", schrijft de sportwinkel. Klanten moeten de batchnummers van de producten controleren voor gebruik om te kijken of hun producten zijn getroffen. De snoepjes kunnen worden teruggebracht naar de winkel.</p> <p>Decathlon was niet bereikbaar voor commentaar. Daarom is ook niet duidelijk of er dieren ziek zijn geworden.</p> Terugroepacties sportwinkels: brekend fietswiel en voorwerpen in paardensnoep	查看 1924	荷兰国家广播电视台	2025-08-09 15:56:59 2025-08-10 01:45:27	word
