World Tuberculosis Day 2013
On World Tuberculosis Day, Muslim Aid reaffirmed its unwavering commitment to providing treatment for Tuberculosis, and facilitating preventative measures to ensure that the disease does not spread in the developing world.
TB is considered to be a public health problem in many countries. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimated that 8.8 million new cases and 1.4 million deaths occurred in 198 countries as a direct result of the disease in 2010 alone.
A Spokesman for Muslim Aid said: "TB is a particularly dangerous disease which causes suffering, takes lives, and places a heavy burden on healthcare systems. It is also a hindrance to international development. When there are ways to treat and prevent the spread of the disease it becomes the responsibility of the international community to share the knowledge of best practice with poor countries. Vulnerable people must also equally benefit from prevention programmes, particularly where Tuberculosis is common."
Muslim Aid has established and supported healthcare centres and hospitals to provide medical care for some of the most impoverished communities around the world since its inception. On this day last year, Muslim Aid established new Tuberculosis clinics in parts of Somalia where the disease is particularly prevalent, such as in Eyl. Muslim Aid also runs public awareness programmes in other countries on preventative measures, including early detection and treatment of the disease.

Books about Detroit
So, You Want to Know More About the Motor City?
July 26, 2015 October 19, 2015 Rudy OwensLeave a comment
(Ed. Note: Dozens of links are provided below, after the introduction.)
Miichigan Central Station
Detroit's unwanted celebrity status nationally and internationally continues to fascinate me. Detroit is now known as a failed American urban experiment. For the more cynical or the painful realists, it represents the dark end to America's middle-class dream, and the embodiment of the decline of American power and even its civilization.
Detroit rose like a phoenix at the beginning of the 20th century and then experienced the near death of the American automobile industry at the start of the next one, culminating in the taxpayer-funded bailouts of General Motors and Chrysler during the Great Recession. Once the nation's fourth largest city, the population has fallen from 1.8 million to less than 800,000 in 50 painful years.
Since the violent Detroit riots of 1967 that killed 43 and burned more than 1,000 buildings, the community has transformed into a nearly all-African-American city. Sadly, it now ranks as the country's murder and arson capital. Multiple factors, well beyond Detroit's control, spurred these changes. These include white flight and suburbanization, along with national racial politics and globalization.
From a public health perspective, there are not many major cities doing worse. Entire neighborhoods have been vacated. Burnt out shells of homes and businesses dot the urban landscape that now is turning to seed. Nearly half of the city's children live in poverty. Once glorious buildings that were testament to the confidence in industrial capitalism, notably the ghostly Michigan Central Station, stand vacant as monuments to a past glory. They are our America's modern-day Roman Colosseum, symbol of a dying or dead empire.
Detroit is also my home town, where some of my family have long roots as Michiganders. It is the place where my life story began, at the intersection of two stories of my adoptive and biological families, who all eventually fled or simply moved away.
To help others understand Detroit Motor City and why it matters, now more than ever, I have compiled some of my favorite links to resources, films, books, and online content that I have uncovered recently. Take a moment to learn more about this famous place that once was the world's greatest industrial city.

Hedwig On Broadway: Meet the Creative Team
John Allendale | December 9, 2013
It's been 15 years since John Cameron Mitchell and Stephen Trask's raucous rock musical Hedwig and the Angry Inch opened at the Jane Street Theatre, and the years don't seem to have aged it a bit.
Among the creative team preparg Hedwig for its Broadway debut are some people who have been involved with it from the very beginning, as well as some newcomers. All of them are thrilled to get the title character back on her feet and ready to present her story to a whole new crowd. It begins previews March 29 at the Belasco Theatre, starring Neil Patrick Harris as the "internationally ignored song stylist."
Two veterans are Kevin Adams and Mike Potter, who are responsible for aspects that are crucial to any self-respecting chanteuse — lighting and wigs/makeup, respectively. Both of them worked on the 1999 off-Broadway production, and Potter's involvement with the piece goes even farther back.
Familiarity hardly means complacency, though. "We're not going to mess around with her essence, but I have a million ideas about how to make her bigger and better than ever," Potter says. "I mean, this is Broadway. It has to be spectacular."
Potter and costume designer Arianne Phillips had ample opportunities to be spectacular when they worked on the 2001 film of Hedwig. That movie had dozens of costume changes, which is a bit harder to pull off on stage – especially when the title character virtually never leaves that stage.
"Having designed five tours for Madonna, who's the queen of costume changes, it's definitely a challenge," says Phillips, who's currently "working fast and furious on the designs now." Expect plenty of quick changes and layering, plus a few new wigs.
As a recent initiate into the world of Hedwig, set designer Julian Crouch had some catching up to do. He quickly learned, however, that getting any kind of straight answer about the original form of Hedwig was all but impossible, even with so many of the original participants in the room.
"It's like family dinner," says Crouch, best known for his work on the Broadway musical The Addams Family. "Nobody can ever quite remember what it was anyway."
Crouch is hardly the only new addition. There's also Neil Patrick Harris himself, who in addition to appearing in three Broadway shows has become a beloved host of the Tony Awards® broadcast. And while Mitchell (the original Hedwig) remains on board as the author of the book, Phillips and the rest of the creative team are excited to see what Harris has to offer.
"Neil will bring all sorts of new ideas and new energy to the piece," Phillips says.
And if the team is looking for additional suggestions, a whole batch of ideas emerge one night a year. It wasn't entirely accurate to say that Hedwig hasn't been seen in New York for 15 years, according to Potter: "I get a lot of pictures of people in Hedwig costumes each Halloween."

Anne was lovingly surrounded by family during her last days. The family would like to express its deep gratitude for the Doctors and staff at the Altona Memorial Health Centre for their compassionate care of Anne and unconditional support of her family during this time.

A city in transit.
From the time ancient tribes were sharing stories through rhythm, music has been our most elemental form of communication, and the one true universal language.
Musician Sean Blackman grew up surrounded by that language and has devoted his life to mastering it.
"My mother was really into the arts and culture and music and everything that comes with it. In the 50s, she worked for Westbound Records — they released all the Funkadelic albums — so she had an incredible record collection of all the greats…Etta, Ella, Billie, Otis, Coltrane, Miles, Charlie… And she's an Armenian girl, so my youth was filled with those albums, and going to the Armenian Church and parties and dancing to live Armenian bands."
He fell hopelessly in love with music and immersed himself withthe eclectic sounds that inspired him.
"I got a guitar for my 12th birthday. I was heavy into Sabbath, Iron Maiden and early AC/DC. I had my skull earring and shaggy hair — I was rocking out. Then, when I was 19 or 20, I started listening to a Flamenco album my mother had given me, and noticed it had all the same qualities I loved about rock music. So, I started spending all my time and money at local record stores, exploring all these different world-genres… Music from India… France… The Middle East…Africa… South America, and so on."
Those sounds soon moved him to begin crafting some of his own.
"In American music, you mostly hear guitar, bass, keys, strings, horns, drums — maybe a pair of congas... But I started hearing all these other instruments. I didn't even know what they're called, but those sounds got in my head. So, I started composing songs, and your next step after composing is orchestration. Most people write songs on the piano or guitar, conceptualize parts for other instruments in their head, then seek out musicians who play those instruments to record or perform."
Things weren't quite so straightforward for Blackman, though.
"In my head, I was hearing these more non-native instruments: Indian harmonium with a West African harp… Brazilian berimbau… Somebody singing in French… Some Armenian percussion… All in one song. So, I had to find musicians who played those instruments."
To his surprise, he didn't have to look far.
"I started finding them right here in Metro Detroit. And they weren't just OK — they were virtuosos. Even today, I'm still finding these folks and it's always the same… I'm standing somewhere with my jaw gaping open, blown away by their talent, and I ask the same question: 'How long have you been here?'"
Still, despite the city's trove of talent, most Detroiters would be hard-pressed to see these artists performing publicly.
"They play private parties, jam in someone's basement, or maybe perform if someone gets married, but typically, the public isn't invited. It's not listed in the Metro Times or the Free Press… It's not listed anywhere! You might see a poster in the vestibule of your favorite Indian restaurant, but it's written in their language, so the only thing you can read is the date… You're not going to that, and I bet even if you could read it you're still not going to that."
But bringing his ambitious musical ideas to life meant finding a way into those circles and recruiting musicians to join forces with him.
"So, I started gathering all these musicians, but when we got together, it wasn't just, "Hi, my name is Sean, I need you here at this time and I need you to play this… OK, thanks, bye." No, they became my friends. We built these deep bonds. I'm meeting their family, I'm eating with them, I'm learning about their culture, how they were raised, and it's all so different… Like, in West Africa, it's rude for two guys to look each other in the eye when they first meet — here in Detroit, it's rude if you don't."
As his network grew, so did his passion for bringing these different cultures together through music — and that's precisely what inspired In Transit Detroit.
"In Transit Detroit is a world music concert series I started in 2016 at the Garden Theater. Each month, we choose one country to highlight, and I mix that country's music with a Detroit rhythm section to create 'China-Detroit fusion,' 'Argentina-Detroit fusion,' 'Spain-Detroit fusion,' and so on. It's incredible… I want it to become part of the Detroit community, because we have all these musicians from around the world living in Detroit, but they don't have a public platform to perform."
Blackman says the performances are incredibly powerful in breaking down barriers between seemingly disparate cultures.
"When I'm first introducing these folks at rehearsal, they're just head nodding each other from across the room; they're not even shaking hands, they're just kind of like, 'what is happening here?' But the end of the show they're hugging, and I see them backstage with their phones out, exchanging phone numbers. Then a week later I see them making friends on Facebook, and then weeks after that I see them interacting independently from me and starting to work together. It gives me chills."
That impact extends beyond the musicians on stage, though.
"I grew up here and always heard that Metro Detroit is a melting pot, and it is to an extent. We have many different cultures living here, but they tend to stick to their own conversation, so I don't see that melting part. That's why In Transit Detroit builds bridges between cultures through the Performing Arts. It's a super cool thing to see — I look out in the crowd and I see all these different cultures hanging out, dancing together, I think, 'wow this is so much bigger than me now…' It's about building community."
Today, he also shares his passion for this work with Metro Detroit youth, exposing them to music they are unlikely to find on their own, and offering a powerful lesson on how art and music can transcend the differences that sometimes divide us.
"I have a collection of instruments from over 15 countries that I bring to schools, and I take students through the music of 10 to 12 countries in forty-five minutes. They love it. I'll pick up an African instrument, for example, and there will be an African-American kid in the audience. Then, when I open up for Q&A, he says, 'my uncle plays that instrument.' And when I hear that, it just melts my heart because when that kid goes back to class, he can say, 'remember that funny guy on stage with all those instruments? That one… That was from my country.' It gives him a chance to talk about his culture without feeling weird… And that's pretty cool. I love doing it, because I believe that if I can get kids to open their eyes to something new, maybe it will trigger something special for them like it did for me."

Wow what a great weekend and start to another week. But as I start to see more and more folks around it takes me back to some of the early days on the Cape. I remember Dad would always get one of my bikes either on the roof on or on the back of the station wagon. I used to love to ride my bike all over the place. When I was younger I would ride all over Campers Haven on Old Wharf Rd in DennisPort. The cottage we stayed in was located right up front and I would ride the loop all the way to the back, past the playground loop around that back sections, head back up front. Take a right into the grove and pass friends of ours that had a permanent camper set up back there. Then out the front of the grove past the bathhouse take a right again go up the back side all the way to the Captains quarters (yup in those days the Captain owned Haven) then take a left right before you went onto the street and cut across the front by the fence line and then back to the yellow cottage known as Sand & Stars. When I got older I started to include Chases Ocean Grove, both sides and I would go and make the rounds to friends we had, not just from on Cape both off Cape friends as well. I could be gone all morning and on occasion my Dad would have to come look for me to eat lunch then head to the beach. When I was in my mid to later teens I would ride all over the place, from the cottage to DenniPort or all the down bass river and at times even into South Yarmouth. You could not keep me done and I would just go, go, go. Since I have moved here I have not been able to ride that much. When I first came I got the bike ready and was able to ride several time using the Cape Cod Rail Trail, riding from South Dennis to Orleans and back and to Chatham and back. Also did many shorter adventures. But with a tire that keeps going down, work, family coming, and over the past 2 years dealing with back issues, that part of my life has been put on hold. But I am so looking forward to betting back on my bike and checking out all the rail trails around the Cape. I would suggest if you have small kids get them started young and enjoying the great outdoors and going. The older ones give them some challenges and see what they can do and enjoy and go do it with them. Riding bikes can be a great individual even or a great family outing, especially if you can do it right here on Cape Cod.
Small Business report: If you are looking for art, well if you have not heard or you are not familiar, Cape Cod is a virtual mecca for Artists not only in New England but a good part of the the east coast of the USA. From one end to another, from canal to P'town, up one side and down another. Rt 6A has a special place for many artist. I have had the pleasure to know many of the artists that have gone before us and helped establish it as still one of the premier areas for the art community. Many of these artists can be located on ArtsCapeCod.org, check out this site and find out a lot more about.
One that I would like to help you get to know is the Timothy Struna Gallery. His primary gallery is located right on 6A in Brewster almost to the Orleans lines. I will say he says it better in the notation about him so I just lifted it for you here: Timothy Jon Struna is an established painter and printmaker with a professional career approaching five decades. After graduating from Bowling Green State University in 1969, his time was divided between teaching and studio painting. Although he enjoyed teaching, his goal was to produce art on a full time basis. In 1977 he opened his own studio/gallery in Northeast Ohio and resigned from teaching to devote his energy to painting and printmaking. In 1987 the gallery was relocated to Cape Cod. With this said he also has the Struna Gallery in Chatham right on Main Street or online at www.strunagalleries.com. If you want real Cape Cod art, with a Cape Cod theme, this is someone you need to check out. Go the website then go to one of his galleries, he has something for everyone and will even do custom work if you desire that. Timothy Struna is one of the primer artists here on Cape Cod and I can not say enough about him. Go, get to know, then take something home with you. You won't be disappointed.
Next is a local crafter Eva Marecoux who operates Lighthouse Lane Crafts out of South Yarmouth, Mass. She does a lot of craft shows through the summer plus and she specialized in kids hooded towels. Now I normally don't get into a lot of kids stuff just because my kids are grown and out of the house, and neither have had any children yet. But these hooded towels are so unique I just had to tell you about them. These towel are great for the beach, for the pool, for bath time at home or something special when they go visit grandma & grandpa. They are so cute you just want to buy them all, and they would like that too. But that's not all, she has freezer pop kozies, yup you read that right freezer pop kozies, keep you little tike from freezing their fingers off while trying to down one of them things. And there is more: oh what the heck just go to www.lighthouselanecrafts.com and check it out or find her at an upcoming Arts and Crafts show. Next one is July 1 & 2 in Chatham. Her stuff is really really cute and has a lot of practicality to it.
Greetings folks, well what can I say this past weekend and into the beginning of this weeks has just been spectacular. And with it the number of folks coming to visit us has risen sharply. But that is good, the more we can educate about the old gal the better we have to keeping her up and running and giving her the maintenance she needs and deserves. Also the history, to be able to see both young and old get interested in, well just makes being a keeper worth it all. The men and women who have gone before, helping to rescue and save countless lives needs to be known. Fortunately, over the past several years we have not had to deal with a really large catastrophic issue and I hope and pray on my watch we don't have too. But we are here if you need us in our district. We will be available for beach needs to sea needs, we are part of the life guard system and we are an aid to the coast guard, (and actually they run the station here, its the volunteers that just keep the history part of it going.) We will be sure that the beacon stays strong and bright and the fog horn functional and loud. And we will be ready to help in anyway we can. If you have not made it yet, we look forward to seeing you, if you have already been here, we thank you for stopping by. Now as much as I would like to stay and chat, I see we have another bus rolling up and I need to get back to work. Have a great day, especially if you can do it right here on old Cape Cod.
I've said it before and I will say it again, I love a good old fashion church collection cookbook. If you ever can get to a church bazaar or an old community garage or yard sale, go and look for these old spiral bound or note book loose leaf collection books, you can't go wrong with these these in getting some of the best recipes out there. This is were I got this recipe from and one of the seasoned parishioners to the church I now attend. Just another wonderful pound cake recipe, hope you all enjoy.
Beat eggs until thick and lemon colored. Add remaining ingredients and beat at medium speed for 8 to 10 minutes. Pour into an un-greased two-piece 10 inch tube pan and bake at 350 degrees for 50 minutes.
Remove hot cake on pan bottom. Prick holes in top of cake and drizzle glaze over top and spread on sides.
Glaze: Combine confectioners sugar and lemon juice and heat to boiling. Cool slightly.
NOTE: Also delicious made with dark chocolate cake mix and dark instant chocolate pudding mix. Instead of the glaze, frost with whipped cream or icing.

Q: Text highlighting for ES6 template literals (backticks) in IntelliJ IDEA Where should I look in the settings to remove the green background highlighting for text within the backticks?

Question: Suppose, your friend Riba lives in America. She has a plan to come to Bangladesh soon. Now, write an e-mail to inquire about her coming to Bangladesh.
How are you? I am very excited to know that you are coming to Bangladesh to spend the winter vacation. We haven't met for so long! Have you already fixed your schedule? We must spend a good time visiting different places of tourist attractions here. 1 has a plan to visit St. Martin's Island. If you wish we will go to Paharpur of Naogaon, Mahasthangar at Bogra, Mainamati at Comilla and Kuakata of Patuakhali. I am sure you will enjoy the tours very much. Please don't forget to let me know about your arrival date and time in advance.


So, I googled leadership attributes and kept seeing recurring themes; integrity, honesty, optimistic, inspirational, supportive & communicative.
Having interacted with our current city manager on many levels, I have had a chance to see him on the job, in the community and at his Church. It is a rare thing in life when you cross paths with someone who seemingly has it all. I am not referring to material possessions when I say that. I am referring to someone having each and every character asset you might attribute to a "textbook" leader.
Many leaders have most of the attributes mentioned above, but rarely does an individual have them all. Deric Feacher is that rare person. He is embedded in this community. He connects with and relates to people from all backgrounds. He is an articulate speaker and communicator who always imparts an inspirational, positive message. He is one of the biggest cheerleaders Winter Haven could ever hope for. He grows and learns from his mistakes and is always looking to improve and better himself.
Integrity and honesty are Deric's hallmark; the two most important attributes of leadership. He walks his truth and is not afraid to live out his faith. We have a special individual leading our city. Occasionally, when someone in your midst is this special, you don't always recognize that they are truly a special talent. This reminds me of the Atlanta Falcons back in 1991 when they drafted a young Brett Favre. Not realizing the talent they had right under their noses, the Falcons traded Farve to the Green Bay Packers the following year…the rest is history. Deric Feacher will only get better and better over time. With integrity and honesty as the base and then blending in all his other leadership attributes it would be impossible for Deric to not get better. We have some smart and insightful city commissioners who I am sure will not make the same mistake the Atlanta Falcons made back in 1992.


Are you hoping to use Instagram Stories to attract higher engagement with your followers? Do you want to up your game when it comes to uploading entertaining snapshots of your brand? Here we let you in on a few secrets that will help you share your business with the world of Instagram; from visual text to making magic happen.
So, get your Instagram account ready and dive into some of these not-so-secret hacks for your business.
Ditch the default colour tray currently available on Instagram Stories and instead, find the exact shade to tell your story in the most visual way, whether it's your brand colours or something completely unique to your followers. To achieve this, use the eyedropper tool to match a colour that is already in your video or picture, and then use it to type to your heart's content.
You might think turning your Instagram Stories' text into a rainbow takes a lot of effort, using different colours to change each letter; luckily for you, this isn't the case. To impress your followers with a visually appealing gradient rainbow text, first select all the text. Then, use one finger to tap and hold down any colour on the palette, then another finger to tap and hold the blue text selector line.
Thankfully it's not making each letter a different colour!
Are you looking for a block colour for the background of your story, but don't want to use the brush to fill it in manually? You don't have to!
To access a full-screen colour effect, choose a colour then hold you finger down on the screen; after a couple of seconds, it should make the whole screen your chosen colour. For an extra tip; the marker brush will give you an opaque colour, while the chisel tip marker will provide a semi-transparent effect, depending on what you're hoping to achieve.
You can use this trick if you just want a Instagram Story of text, or combine it with the eraser tool to reveal a hidden message over a series of frames.
You can now use your Live Photos on your Instagram Story, so if you've not had much use for them so far, now is your chance. Turn your Live Photos into a Boomerang simply by uploading the photo to your story, and hold it down. This will bring your picture to life, and they usually turn out better than the Boomerangs you try to plan down to the last movement.
So, next time you're stuck for creative ways to use your Instagram Story, remember these handy tips to make your account stand out a little more from the rest!

EXCLUSIVE: National Assembly Members Fail To Provide Documents Of How N2.5billion Running Costs In Six Months Were Spent
The Office of the Auditor-General of the Federation in its 2019 audit report, released in September 2021 and obtained by SaharaReporters, queried the Clerk of the house for failing to provide the documents and ordered it to refund the N2.5billion as there were risks of "diversion of public funds" by the lawmakers.
by saharareporters, new york Dec 29, 2021
The House of Representatives, the lower chamber of the National Assembly, has failed to produce documents to prove how its members spent N2.5billion running costs paid to them for six months in 2019.
The audit report is titled, "Auditor-General for the Federation's Annual Report on Non-Compliance/Internal Control Weaknesses Issues in Ministries, Departments and Agencies of the Federal Government of Nigeria for the Year Ended 31st December, 2019."
The OAUGF report stipulated that there should be sanctions for the Clerk of the House if the money unaccounted for was not remitted to the treasury of the Nigerian government.
The report partly read, "At the Federal House of Representatives of the National Assembly, the following observations were made: UNRETIRED RUNNING COST BY THE HONOURABLE MEMBERS (N2,550,000,000.00) Paragraph 1011(i) of the Financial Regulations states "All standing imprests must be retired on or before the 31st December of the financial year in which they are issued while Special Imprests shall be retired immediately the reasons for which they were granted cease to exist. Retirement will be effected by the production of vouchers and/or
cash for the full amount of the imprest."
"Audit observed that: i. The sum of N2,550,000,000.00 was granted to Honorable members as running costs between July and December 2019 as shown below; North East, N187,000,000.00; South South, N272,000,000.00; South East, N442,000,000.00; North Central, N391,000,000.00; South West 629,000,000.00, and North West, N629,000,000.00.
"There was no evidence to show what the funds were used for, and iii. There were no retirement documents despite requests. The above anomalies could be attributed to weaknesses in the internal control system at the Federal House of Representatives of the National Assembly. Risks; i. Loss of Government funds. ii. Diversion of public funds.
"The management gave no response. Recommendations; The Clerk to the National Assembly is requested to furnish reasons why running costs granted to Honourable members were not
retired, recover unretired running costs of N2.5billion and remit to the Treasury; iii. Forward evidence of remittance to the Public Accounts Committees of the National Assembly, iv. Otherwise, apply sanctions relating to non-retirement of advances and imprest
specified in paragraph 3124 of the Financial Regulations."

Includes completion of the online application and a series of interviews with UK staff and partner agencies. Click here for the application. Applications due 11:59pm on 03/08/19.
The KSI program application is available to exceptional student leaders at the University of Kentucky. KSIs come from all academic disciplines. Preference will be given to students with a GPA of 3.4 or higher, however, students will be considered on a case by case basis and all are encouraged to apply.
KSIs intern for 3-4 months (either a semester or summer program) with one of the participating organizations featured below or with an organization of the student's choosing in the target region.
What does KSI offer students?
Each internship allows a student to earn academic credits through a combination of service learning, distance learning, research credit, or capstone projects. Additional requirements may be necessary for academic credit depending on the policies of participating UK departments.
Is there a subsistence allowance?
A subsistence allowance of up to $1,000/month will be provided to students. The allowance is intended to help cover housing, utilities, food, transportation, and some incidentals. However, the subsistence allowance may not cover all living and travel expenses. Where food and lodging is provided by the partner agency, the allowance may be reduced but not below $500/month.
The KSI program will help identify and facilitate housing options, but KSIs will be responsible for their own housing (i.e. signing a lease, paying rent and utilities, etc.). The housing options may be different from location to location and could include home stays or other group housing to reduce an individual's overall costs. Where possible, KSIs may be housed together to reduce an individual's overall costs.
UK's Kentucky Scholar Intern (KSI) program is designed to match exceptional undergraduate student leaders to the needs of the most under-resourced communities in eastern Kentucky by providing unique, 3-4 month, experiential internship opportunities in nonprofit agencies and local / state governments.

Whether you spell it Chihuahua or Chiwawa, he doesn't care. He answers to the name Julio and plays the guitar in one badass Mariachi band! In his spare time he saves Mexican orphans from burning house fires. His guacamole changed foreign policy. He can hear a burrito hitting the floor from six blocks away. He is the most interesting dog in the world and now you can wear him on this men's t-shirt.
This was a gift for a friend who is a professional guitarist and frequently incorporates Spanish and mariachi riffs into contemporary songs he plays, so the graphic was spot of for him. Soft and light T-shirt material. My friend loved it.

The Challenge Star Tony Raines Is Engaged: 'Real World' Alum Proposes To His 'Skeleton' Alyssa
Alyssa Giacone went from 'skeleton' to fiancé! 'The Challenge' star Tony Raines announced his engagement to his baby mama on Oct. 13, and here's how they feel about it.
"I've been thinking about this [proposal] since Dirty 30," Tony revealed to MTV News, referring to Season 30 of The Challenge. "I had a conversation with CT [Tamburello] while filming Dirty 30 about him marrying Lili [Solares] and me marrying Alyssa." Tony's referring to his castmate, CT, who just got married on Sept. 9! "When we won Champs vs. Stars together, he gave me the trip as an engagement or honeymoon gift. Alyssa and I were invited to his wedding and had a blast there. You've all seen me grow so much over the seasons. Now, proposing here to Alyssa and getting engaged feels like the perfect ending to the Trilogy." Blogger4zero even had an EXCLUSIVE chat with Tony after he won the show with CT!
Tony and Alyssa were going eight year strong before she became one of Tony's "skeletons" on The Real World: Skeletons, which aired from 2014 to 2015. They had another hiccup when Tony was caught cheating with The Challenge co-star Camila Nakagawa on the Dirty 30, aired for all to see. Yes, awkward, considering that's when he started to consider marriage with Alyssa! He tweeted an apology letter in September of 2017. "I'm beyond upset at myself and regardless of how it comes across on air I blame no one but myself," part of the statement read. "Maybe I've apologized too many times or not enough about all the mistakes I've made but I am very aware of my issues and everyday I'm growing and maturing.

After surviving a rigorous Big Ten slate, the fourth-seeded Purdue Boilermakers enter the South Region with a potential defensive slugfest on their hands when meeting the 13-seed Conference USA champion North Texas Mean Green at 7:25 p.m. ET.
The game will be broadcasted on TNT with the home-state Boilermakers entering as a 7.5-point favorite.
No. 4 Purdue: 18-9 (13-6 Big Ten): At-large
KenPom rating: Overall: 13, Offense 23, Defense 23
NET ranking: 22nd, 6-7 vs. Quad 1
Leading scorer: Trevion Williams (15.6 ppg)
Key stat: Limited Big Ten opponents to just 65.4 points on 23.3 shots per game.
Purdue held their own in a tough Big Ten gauntlet throughout the regular season, finishing with a respectable 13-6 mark in conference play before getting bounced by Ohio State in the conference tournament. That came after the Trevion Williams-led Boilermakers swept the Buckeyes in the regular season, supplementing that with a late victory over Wisconsin on March 2nd.
Purdue has posed as one of the stingier defensive units in the league, limiting shot attempts at the charity stripe.
No. 13 North Texas: 17-9 (9-5 C-USA): Automatic Bid
KenPom rating: Overall 71, Offense 119, Defense 42
NET ranking: 59, 0-3 vs. Quad 1
Leading scorer: Javion Hamlet (14.9 ppg)
Key stat: 20th nationally in defensive effective FG percentage (45.7%).
North Texas was able to shake off a three-game losing streak to the regular season by rattling off a quartet of victories in the Conference USA Tournament to punch their ticket to Indianapolis. Grant McCasland's Mean Green did hold their own in conference play but fell short in all three of their respective Quad 1 games against Arkansas, Mississippi State and West Virginia by an average of 11 points.
North Texas tends to limit opposing offenses, giving up only 61.2 points per game, good for 10th in the nation.
March Madness Odds from DraftKings Sportsbook
Point Spread: Purdue -7.5
Total: 126.5
Moneyline: Purdue -360, North Texas +280
The Pick
Against The Spread Pick: Purdue -7.5
Point total pick: Over 126.5
Pick to Win: Purdue
Expect defense to be the story of this game and the factor that will have the Boilermakers late. Both teams should do enough to trigger the over, but Purdue eventually pulls away just enough to cover here.
