Dove Cameron drops new spiky banger, ‘Lethal Woman,’ ahead of debut album ‘Alchemical: Volume 1’

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 09:30:28 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — Dove Cameron’s latest single starts with the sound of maniacal laughter and then a piano riff that could have been swiped from “The Phantom of the Opera.” She’s just getting started.“Lethal Woman” is a club banger about a woman “sharp as a knife under the table” that includes sounds of banging on a door, a gun being cocked and heavy production elements. The lyrics include the playful rhyme: “Game recognizes game/By the way, what’s your name?”“We threw everything including the kitchen sink into that song,” Cameron tells The Associated Press ahead of its release, the latest track from her debut album due Dec. 1, “Alchemical: Volume 1.”“I think my favorite thing about the song actually is that we switch keys like six times and you hardly really notice,” she says, laughing. “It just adds this kind of unhinged quality that to me just really takes us over the top.”“Alchemical: Volume 1” contains six new songs and two previous hits, “Boyfriend” and “Breakfast.” ...

US state official resigns over Biden's arms transfer to Israel

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 09:30:28 GMT

CHICAGO -- A US state department official in the bureau that oversees arms transfers resigned Thursday in protest of the Biden administration's decision in sending weapons to Israel amid the war that has claimed over 4,000 Palestinian lives and leaving over 13,000 wounded in consistent bombings and airstrikes. More than 1,400 people in Israel are reported dead from the initial attack and that families of 203 people are believed to have been captured by Hamas. Josh Paul, who had served with the Bureau of Political-Miliary Affairs for over 11 years was fascinated with the complexity of the job, but said in a LinkedIn post, he is unable to work in support of rushing major policy decisions and sending more arms to one side of a conflict. "I believe to the core of my soul that the response Israel is taking, and with it the American support both for that response, and for the status quo of the occupation, will only lead to more deeper suffering for both the Israel and the Palestinian peop...

Kenneth Wan and Doris Yuen stood in the doorway of their new restaurant this week, catching oranges from a lion dancer while cymbals and drums banged away in the background.In Chinese culture, the lion dance is a way to consecrate temples and new businesses. The lion, a costume with two people handling the head and tail, “eats” an orange and spits it back out. It’s good luck for whoever can catch it. Luckily, Yuen and Wan had good grips that evening.“Blessing a restaurant is very traditional for Chinese culture, and we thought it’d be a cool way to make an announcement to the neighborhood that we’re here,” Wan said.Yuen and Wan are opening MAKfam, their first full-service restaurant at 39 W. 1st Ave., next door to Snooze’s new South Broadway location, on Nov. 1.

The trials and triumphs of Tina Turner, vividly, violently onstage | Theater review

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 09:30:28 GMT

There comes a moment late in the first act of “TINA: The Tina Turner Musical” when the brutalized star of the title has swallowed valium in a failed suicide attempt and lies in a hospital bed. Her mother, Zelma, is at her bedside, telling her that Ike has sent a limo to the hospital; she’s got a show to do.“Go on out there and give them people what they been waiting on,” says Zelma.Cue the languorous guitar intro to “Proud Mary.” Tina Turner’s version of the song to this day — and likely forever — elicits a Pavlovian joy as Turner and backup dancers (first the Ikettes and later her own troupe) begin that slow slide from “nice and easy” to “nice and rough.”Nominated for 12 Tonys in 2020, the glitzy biographical musical’s tour brings the trials and triumphs of the rock ‘n’ roll icon to Denver’s Buell Theatre through Oct. 29.Kristopher Stanley Ward as Richard Bullock and Symphony King as young Anna Mae in “TINA: The Tina Turner Musical.” (Matthew Mur...

Airstrikes hit Gaza as Israel says it doesn't plan to control life there after destroying Hamas

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 09:30:28 GMT

Israel bombarded the Gaza Strip early Friday, hitting areas where Palestinians had been told to seek safety, and it began evacuating a sizable Israeli town near the border with Lebanon, the latest sign of a potential ground invasion of Gaza that could trigger regional turmoil.Amid the fighting, Israel’s defense minister said the country did not have plans to maintain control over civilians in Gaza after its war against the Hamas militant group.Defense Minister Yoav Gallant’s comments to lawmakers were the first time a top Israeli official discussed its long-term plans for Gaza. Gallant said Israel expected a three-phase war, starting with airstrikes and ground maneuvers. It anticipates then defeating pockets of resistance, and finally, ceasing Israel's “responsibility for life in the Gaza Strip.”Palestinians in Gaza reported heavy airstrikes in Khan Youni, a town in the territory's south, and ambulances carrying men, women and children streamed into the local Nasser Hospital.

Why Buy CBD Capsules Over Other Hemp Extracts? — The Pros & Cons Of CBD Pills

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 09:30:28 GMT

CBD capsules may not get as much press as CBD oils, but they are one of the largest product categories in the hemp industry. Chances are, if a hemp brand offers CBD edibles and tinctures, it will make one line of CBD softgels. While CBD capsules may not have the best absorption rates, they still have many attractive traits worth mentioning.Why Buy CBD Capsules Over CBD Oil?The biggest disadvantage of using CBD capsules over CBD oils is that you’ll absorb less CBD. Like edibles, CBD capsules have to go through your liver before they enter your bloodstream. This means you’ll always absorb less CBD than the posted milligram count on your product’s lab test results.By contrast, if you take a CBD oil sublingually (i.e., under the tongue), you should feel CBD’s effects in a few minutes. The tongue’s sublingual glands can absorb compounds directly into our bloodstream, which means you’ll enjoy the highest possible CBD absorption using this method.Since you’re getting “less” CBD with capsul...
