Lebanon: Harfouch meets President of European Parliament and Mikati wants to leave the country

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:15:10 GMT

The founder of the "Third Republic of Lebanon" party, Omar Harfouch, arrived in Brussels yesterday, Tuesday, May 2, with the goal of several meetings related to dossiers on Lebanese affairs. The Lebanese politician met with the President of the European Parliament, Roberta Metsola, European Commissioner Oliver Varhelyi, a number of MEPs, and representatives of human rights organizations and non-governmental organizations.This came a day after the U.S. Congressional Foreign Relations Committee sent an urgent letter urging U.S. President Joe Biden to urgently address the situation in Lebanon and not to support any president of the Republic of Lebanon supported by the pro-Shiite duo, Suleiman-Franjieh, who said they wanted to "fight corruption and punish the corrupt," unusually just a week after Harfouch met with the sender of the letter to President Biden, Senator Risch. Indeed, it is far-fetched and laughable that those who have always been part of the power system in Lebanon can car...

Writers strike enters 2nd day with no sign of ending soon

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:15:10 GMT

The Writers Guild of America strike entered its second day on Wednesday, and as production begins to be affected, there are no signs of progress toward an agreement.Thousands of writers and their supporters are picketing Sony, CBS and other film and television companies. The writers are striking for better pay and job protections. "We're fighting for writers to make a living wage," picketer Liz Flahive said. "For a middle-class writer to be able to eke out a real living as a writer has become harder and harder."The Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, which negotiates on behalf of the studios, said in a statement to KTLA that they offered “generous increases in compensation for writers as well as improvements in streaming residuals.”The WGA disagreed, calling the proposal "wholly insufficient."In the meantime, late-night shows have shut down production, including "Saturday Night Live," which abandoned plans for a new episode this weekend. Its two remaining episodes f...

Fresh salads from a vending machine? Yep.

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:15:10 GMT

When I first saw Farmer's Fridge at the airport, I'll admit I was skeptical.The idea of a fresh salad from a vending machine didn’t seem right. But after I tried it, I was sold on the idea of healthy options in more places, 24/7."Really the idea is it’s the world's smallest restaurant," explained Farmer's Fridge founder and CEO Luke Saunders.We recently met up at Crypto.com Arena (formerly Staples Center), where there are three of his refrigerated vending machines.I asked him how he feels when he sees his idea at one of the most iconic arenas in America."It feels amazing… the idea from the beginning has been how do you get fresh food everywhere," said Saunders.Very impressed with @FarmersFridge … picked one up on my way out of LAX this weekend and then on my way back in. It’s a vending machine filled with healthy foods like salads and wraps. My only complaint: the containers need more extra space in side to shake up the salad and… pic.twitter.com/FDrqLSJKKK— Rich DeMuro (@rich...

Then when I was 17 I went to my first festival, Coachella 2006, and took my first ecstasy while witnessing the debut of the historic Daft Punk pyramid. That moment changed my life and I said goodbye to hip-hop and became a house DJ that night.”After graduating from college in 2010, Lion returned to his hometown of San Diego and started throwing parties with his Desert Hearts partner, Marbs. “I quit my job and we threw our first Desert Hearts Festival in 2012 and my career snowballed from there,” he says. “I started my record label Desert Hearts Records in 2014 and slowly started touring more and more ...
