Thank God It's Toby Highlights

After 25 years in the entertainment industry writing, directing, and producing videogame, animation, interactive narrative and audio projects, this award-winning Canadian creator kills two bucket-list birds with one stone: 1) make epic cross-genre music + video project and (far more importantly)…become a Dad.

While others baked quarantine sourdough or caught virtual fish in Animal Crossing, Burgess (Electronic Arts, Broken Saints, The Cat’s Maw, Buddha and the S**t) wrote, produced, shot, edited, recorded, and mixed the lion’s share of DADBOD while stuck in Southeast Asia during ‘peak pandemic’. And now? Nearly two decades on from a win at the Sundance Film Festival that launched a storied interactive narrative career, these 20 songs and videos are more than just a mid-life singer/songwriter flex — they’re the legend of an incredible boy, the man transformed by his love, and the kind of bond that comes around one in a thousand lifetimes. Oh…and dinosaurs.

When Brooke isn’t getting spiritually schooled by his toddler super-Buddha or pushing back the date of his next novel, he’s the Narrative Director for a groundbreaking ‘wellness technology’ firm in the Netherlands.

After working with his late partner, AJ Meyer for 12 years in the early 2000s, 73-year-old Sean Sheeter, who graduated from the University of California San Diego, with a degree in psychology, has solved the #1 question posed at the STRING 2000 Physics Conference :

“Are all the (measurable) dimensionless parameters that characterize the physical universe calculable in principle or are some merely determined by historical or quantum mechanical accident and incalculable?”

Exactly 21 years ago, on October 11th, that question was fully Answered by the “Monolith Number”

NU = 203 + 1/241.

The difference between Theoretical Speculation and Reality is the very DEFINITION OF GOD as the NONLOCAL TOTALITY of an ANTI DE SITTER SPACE-TIME whose CYCLE ENDS after 88.088 Billion Light Years, thus FULFILLING Revelation 21:6: "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end.”

If space-time has been determined and the beginning and the end of time can be calculated to be approximately 88.088 billion light-years then that coincides directly with Revelations 21:6.

What Revelations refers to as: “The beginning and the end.”

Simply put, Sheeter aims to use mathematical equations, deciphered over many years of painstaking research, to prove that 88.088 billion light-years is the beginning and the end of time. It was God that in fact created this cycle and that God must exist somewhere outside of this cycle.

Sheeter is currently working exclusively with Denver based media company, Brand Brain Media, to showcase his many years of research findings into a feature documentary “Definition of God” slated to premiere in early 2022 on Amazon Prime.

My name is Abigail Damoah, I was born, raised and educated in the United Kingdom. In 2014, I was sentenced to 12 years in Florida state prison for a crime that I didn’t commit. I served 5 years of that sentence before my case was dismissed by the 4th district court of appeals.

After graduating from Manchester Metropolitan University, I moved to the United States to further my education. I was involved in a road traffic accident, I was the driver, my passenger was killed, and I was seriously injured. I returned to the United Kingdom to recover, and several years later, the state of Florida issued an extradition warrant for my arrest, I had been charged with vehicular homicide.

While I was waiting to be extradited, I studied the law surrounding my case and found that I should never have been charged with a crime according to the Florida Statues definition of vehicular homicide, but due to the biased nature of the extradition treaty between the United Kingdom and America, I lost my extradition battle. I was remanded in Holloway prison for 6 months, before being extradited to America.

I took my case to trial and lost, and got sentenced to 12 years in Florida state prison. The 4th District Court of Appeals dismissed my case based on the fact that no crime was committed when the accident took place, I wasn’t breaking any rules of the road, and long before charges were even filed, it was discovered that there were no road signs on the exit ramp due to it being under reconstruction at the time, making it very confusing for someone unfamiliar with the road.

After my release from prison, I received no compensation because the state of Florida has certain laws protecting itself against being sued for wrongful convictions. I received no help from the United Kingdom either, I was told to go on benefits.

I had to build my life back from nothing, but today I am a successful personal development copywriter, speaker and author. My book She is Risen will be re-released on 28th January 2022.

More than a million students will be travelling across the country to go back to university after spending the Christmas holidays back home and while it is great that we have been able to spend time with friends and family this year, everyone still needs to be cautious as they head back to their studies.

To ensure that students do not bring Covid-19 back to university, they are being reminded to take a free rapid Covid-19 lateral flow test ahead of going back to university, so they can have peace of mind and ensure they are not spreading the virus to friends, fellow students and teaching staff.

As well as testing before travelling home, students are encouraged to carry out additional actions to help stop the spread of Covid-19, including:

* Arranging a free PCR test if you have symptoms

* Opening windows regularly, to stop covid hanging around.

* Wear a face covering when on public transport

* Get your Covid-19 vaccine and booster jab when invited

Even though the vaccines are our best defence against the virus and reduce our chances of hospitalisation, we do still have the ability to catch the virus and pass it on to others.

Dr Emeka Okorocha understands that around 1 in 3 people with Covid-19 have no symptoms which is why he is encouraging students to help reduce the spread of Covid-19 and to take a free rapid Covid-19 test before they head back to uni.

A traditional Christmas dinner is pretty much a pimped-up roast, however with all the trimmings and many of us having different takes, twists and dietary requirements it can seem like a huge challenge.

It turns out 47% of UK adults can't cook a full Christmas dinner from scratch.

The reasons behind this, include 33% saying they've never been taught how and the same amount stating they don't have the space or equipment, according to research by Co-op.

Cranberry sauce tops the list of items Brits claim to be the least likely they can cook from scratch, followed by:

1. Cranberry sauce (81%)

2. Bread Sauce (73%)

3. Christmas Pudding (73%)

4. Mince Pies (64%)

5. Pigs in Blankets (50%)

6. Parsnips (49%)

7. Gravy (44%)

8. Brussel Sprouts (43%)

9. Roast Turkey (40%)

10. Roast potatoes (33%)

As a result, 34% don't plan to cook a Christmas dinner this year.

Instead of slicing and dicing, 55% confess they'll rely on others to cook for them instead, 15% will forego the dinner entirely and 8% plan to eat at a pub or restaurant.

However, all is not lost as 41% say next year they want to learn how to cook a full Xmas dinner from scratch!

So, what is the best way to learn? Being taught by an expert or someone who has lots of experience and learning close to where you live are the preferred methods to gain these cooking skills.

20% would want face to face sessions as opposed to virtual learning and 18% want to learn from someone like themselves.

Perhaps due to a lack of culinary skills, 35% of Brits say they expect to waste food this Christmas.

Brussel Sprouts, turkey and Christmas cake are the most likely items to go to waste followed by bread sauce, potatoes and Christmas Pudding.

Brits want for reducing food waste is increasing as now 67% say they would find advice on how to reduce what they throw away helpful.

Co-op is committing to doubling its network of community fridges in partnership with environmental charity Hubbub, funding a further 250 fridges, which will save a total of 34 million meals from going to waste annually across the network of 500 fridges.

To encourage Brits to get in the kitchen and rustle up a Christmas Dinner next year, TV Chef Lesley Waters is on hand to give her tips and tricks for cooking from scratch.

Alongside Lesley is Liam Sweeney, Hubbub's Creative Partner who can tell us more about the charity's partnership with Co-op and the community fridges.

Both Liam and Lesley are also on hand to help guide us through reducing food wastage this festive season.
