The Telegraph: Sophie, Countess of Wessex becomes first Royal to visit the Democratic Republic of the Congo
Tumblr media
She will use the trip to address the impact of sexual and gender-based violence in conflict and meet survivors

The Countess of Wessex has become the first member of the Royal family to travel to the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Buckingham Palace has said.
She will use the visit to the African country to address the impact of sexual and gender-based violence in conflict, meeting survivors and helping them to tackle the stigma they face.
Security is tight for the visit, which was planned several months before the death of the Queen at the request of the Foreign Office.
The Countess is accompanied by Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon, the Prime Minister's special representative on preventing sexual violence in conflict.
It is a subject on which the mother-of-two has campaigned for many years, travelling to countries including Kosovo, Lebanon, South Sudan and Sierre Leone to meet women peacebuilders and survivors of sexual violence.
Last January, the Countess revealed she had gone to “some very dark places” whilst working with sexual violence victims, describing the “tears dripping off your chin” when you hear their stories.
In 2020, she wrote about her work in an article for the Telegraph in which she accepted that it might be hard to see it as a priority when it seemed such a far cry from life in the UK.
But she said that supporting women peacebuilders was one of the most uplifting things she did.
“There are no magic wands when it comes to negotiating peace,” she wrote. “Any and every negotiation will be fraught and difficult, requiring enormous patience and effort from all sides, open minds, a willingness to concede, but above all the desire to find peace,” she wrote.
“Including women in the process is essential and means a greater chance of sustained peace. Who wouldn't want that?”
In its recent history, the DRC has endured years of civil conflict in what has been called Africa's world war, with the loss of up to six million lives through fighting or disease and malnutrition.
A peace agreement was signed in 2002 but violence continued in some areas, requiring a large United Nations military force to try to maintain order.
In August, Africa’s second-largest country faced rising regional tensions in the east, with weeks of deadly protests against UN peacekeepers.
The Countess’s visit is taking place in the run-up to the International Preventing Sexual Violence in Conflict Initiative Conference in London next month, which is being hosted by the UK Government and which the Countess will attend.

How entangled am I in your thoughts, will I ever know? But if I were to assess my own situation, there seems to be regular intervals, a well defined pattern, just like the waves arriving at the shore and then departing only to arrive again. So are your visits. You appear at the threshold of my thoughts, stay for a while, turn everything colorful, and then bid farewell. But it doesn't make me sad, for I know that no sooner have you left, but even sooner would be your return. That's how constant you come and go. My mind has become your most visited place, I suppose...

A very sweet trainer came in this afternoon worried about an acquaintance’s Klefki. Acquaintance put a couple of keychains on it. We’re grateful people are worried about others pokémon. But giving your Klefki keychains doesn’t hurt them at all, they quite enjoy keychains as gifts.
What you absolutely shouldn’t do is take off their keys, that’s abuse.
PSA:
Giving Klefkis keychains does not harm them but putting too many keychains on will weigh them down

★ Salman Khan visits Mumbai Police HQ for weapons license; actor wants to protect his family from Bishnoi and gang!
July 22, 2022
After the Sidhu Moosewala assassination earlier this year, Salman Khan was dragged into the controversy with the superstar reportedly receiving death threats. Accused was a certain gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, who has earlier threatened the actor and his security, post the blackbuck case. Now, yet again, his name has resurfaced with the actor and his father Salim Khan once again receiving threats from the gangster and his men. In order to protect himself, latest reports claim that the superstar visited the Mumbai Police headquarters for a weapons license.
As per recent reports, Salman Khan has applied for a gun license after his father Salim Khan received a threatening letter when the latter was jogging near their residence in Bandra, Mumbai. If these reports are to be believed, Salman Khan met the top cop Vivek Phansalkar as a part of the process for applying license.
Sources were quoted confirming in these reports adding that the visit was a mandatory one where physical verification before the authority is a required part of the license application procedure. These reports also suggest that Khan has reasoned in his statement that he requires the license for a gun as a means of protecting his family from Bishnoi and his threats.

Relationships, visits were key to Manning's Texas commitment
Relationships, visits were key to Manning’s Texas commitment
Around 8 a.m. Thursday morning, coach Nelson Stewart walked outside from a film session to see how the youth camp was going at New Orleans (La.) Isidore Newman. He returned to four missed calls from Arch Manning. That was peculiar. “Arch hasn’t called me once, he’s not a phone person,” Stewart said. “So I called Cooper (Manning) and Arch was unbelievably eloquent and gracious. He wanted to tell…

Someone left a very young Happiny in the center this morning. They let her eat an everstone or weren’t paying enough attention. It got stuck in a gastral sac and the surgery to remove it has a very bad survival rate, so the poor girl has to live with it for a while.
This is why you keep a close eye on your baby pokémon. They’re just like human babies, they’ll do stupid things and put things in their mouths.
Her trainer didn’t want a “damaged” pokémon, so she’ll be living in the recovery center for the foreseeable future.
