Neil Finn – “Find Your Way Back Home” (Feat. Stevie Nicks & Christine McVie)

New Zealand rock great Neil Finn, former frontman of both Split Enz and Crowded House, has lately been spending his quarantine by playing charming acoustic covers: David Bowie's "Heroes," Prince's "When Doves Cry." But today, he's released a new song to benefit the Auckland City Mission, which serves the homeless population of Auckland. And in releasing the song, he's teamed up with a couple of his more recent bandmates. In 2018, Fleetwood Mac unceremoniously fired their longtime co-leader Lindsey Buckingham — the sort of acrimonious split that you don't often see in classic rock institutions these days. To replace Buckingham, Fleetwood Mac brought in two ringers: Neil Finn and the former Tom Petty And The Hearbreakers guitarist Mike Campbell. There was plenty of talk about how this new Fleetwood Mac wasn't really Fleetwood Mac, but the band did plenty to showcase both Finn and Campbell, presenting them as full members of the band. They even played Crowded House and Split Enz songs

LGUs in action against COVID-19

Last March 16, the entire Luzon was placed on lockdown due to the growing number of cases of novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in the Philippines under the declaration of President Rodrigo Duterte. The enhanced community quarantine had barred millions of people staying in Luzon to travel outside the island—supposedly for just a month—for almost three months since it has been continuing to be extended due to the rising pandemic of the disease. Moreover, the lockdown has caused the temporary suspension of work and closure of non-essential businesses in the entire Luzon. These developments resulted in for most of the Filipinos to stop working and suffer from various disruptions—financial, livelihood, psychosocial, and even mental. But these have pushed and inspired some of the local government units to conduct their own initiatives to extend their help to its constituents in whatever they can.  In our generation, the coronavirus had brought as a lot of unexpected and tragic situations happening simultaneously…

Ethiopia’s Unconventional COVID-19 Response

By Arkebe Oqubay ADDIS ABABA – To the surprise of many, African governments have responded swiftly and boldly to the COVID-19 crisis. Ethiopia’s unconventional approach, for example, reflects the country’s limited financial and human resources, as well as the low level of available international support. Despite these severe constraints, the results so far have been better than anyone expected. From the start, Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed’s government understood that Ethiopia’s success in combating COVID-19 would depend not on the number of respirators it had, but on the public-health measures taken to contain the virus’s spread. His government also wanted to prevent serious damage to one of Africa’s fastest-growing economies, which expanded at a 10.5% average annual rate in 2004-18 but remains vulnerable. Safeguarding these gains, preventing job losses, and ensuring firms’ survival was critical. So, instead of implementing a national lockdown like most other governments, including in Africa, Ethiopia initiated…

Review Of Pyar Ke Sadqay Episode 19

What Happened In Episode 19 Of Pyar Ke Sadqay As we discussed a twist in the story from the 19 episode in drama serial Pyar Ke Sadqay, this episode had something in progress to that of what we watched in episode 18. Sarwar is on the go to succeed in his plan by installing Shanzay once again in Abdullah’s life and make him distract from Mahjabeen. Shanzay has finally got the support from his father when he himself witnessed Shanzay’s husband’s rude behavior and violence against his daughter. He not only bashes his son-in-law for torturing Shanzay but also directs him to get out of the house. Shanzay is finally seeking a divorce from her recent marriage. On the other hand, Shanzay is getting inclined to Abdullah now while even knowing that he is married to Mahjabeen now. She visits Abdullah’s office again in an extremely depressed mood and the conversation between them ends up on Shanzay’s question from Abdullah if he will get married to her or not as she gets divorced to which he responds positively. Coming to…

Sony says after July 13th, new PS4 games must be PS5 compatible

According to a report from Eurogamer, Sony has begun telling PlayStation 4 developers to prepare for the launch of the PlayStation 5 in a big new way. Starting on July 13th, games submitted for certification on PlayStation 4 must be compatible with PlayStation 5. This news comes by way of developer documentation apparently posted on PlayStation's internal partner website, that Eurogamer got its hands on. Apparently developers are able to use their PS4 devkits to perform this check, thanks to an update released in April. The documentation also apparently states that "compatibility" means that the submission code runs without issues on the PlayStation 5, and provides the same features on PS5 as PS4. Developers who submit for certification before July 13th are apparently "strongly recommended" to prepare PS5 compatibility as well.
