Perfume

Product: My 3 favorite (current) fragrances

Initial Thoughts: Christmas is slowly approaching and I feel like it only makes sense to share a few items that might make a great gift for someone or yourself. As I’ve mentioned on my social media, I was in search of new scents and I’ve found some that smell amazing. Let me go ahead and say that if you aren’t willing to spend a few coins you may have to get a rollerball or travel spray because these aren’t the cheapest, but they give what needs to be given for sure! As I’ve stated in my blog from last week, there are only a few things I’m willing to splurge on and perfume happens to be one of those things. These aren’t in order, but here they are:

1. Valentino Voce Viva- Based on information found via Google, top notes are Mandarin Orange, Bergamot and Ginger; middle notes are Orange Blossom and Gardenia; base notes are Vanilla, Tonka Bean, Musk, Sandalwood and Oakmoss. I enjoy wearing this for special occasions as well as when I want to wear something nice without it being overwhelming. I don’t get out as much as others, but I’m not one to waste money so I make sure to make the most when I have the chance to wear it. I randomly received this as a sample at the end of 2020 and fell in love. It took me a while to commit since we were still in the house, but once things slowly started opening up I decided to go ahead and take the plunge.  

2. Kilian Love, Don’t be Shy- By far the most expensive, but I promise it is worth every penny (to me of course!). I first heard of this via Jackie Aina after she met Rhianna, but I never really found it and of course the price made me a little hesitant. Recently during the Sephora sale, I purchased a sampler pack. Out of each scent included, this is the only one that made me go back again. I have purchased a full sized bottle so that should tell you how much I like it. The notes in this include: Marshmallow, vanilla, and orange blossom. I wish I could explain it, but I honestly have never smelled anything similar. I love this and wear it when I’m going out and am a little dressy. While I know several people have purchased this, I’m almost certain that this scent is not something a lot of people around you will have so that makes this even more of a great buy.

3. Michael Kors Gorgeous!- This is another scent I got as a sample and knew I would have to get a bottle. Out of the 3, I feel this one is the one I’d wear the most on a daily basis. Let me say that I’m not normally into floral scents, but this one won me over. Jasmine, tuberose, ylang and orange flower are said to make up the white floral bouquet. This smells light, but strong enough to catch attention. (I’m not sure if that makes sense, but you won’t pass someone and that’s all they smell unless you are heavy handed). 

While I haven’t been to a perfume counter in forever and there are several I want to smell because of the reviews I have read, these are some that I personally have in the stash and I feel I got my money’s worth. What are your go to scents?

Trump's call for a protest crackdown has been a boon for Chinese propaganda
Analysis by CNN's James Griffiths
Protesters running amok. Innocent citizens under siege. Outside actors engaging in terrorist acts. Police struggling to maintain control and in desperate need of reinforcements.

That was how Chinese state media portrayed anti-government protests in Hong Kong last year, dismissing calls for greater democracy and an investigation into police brutality by focusing on individual acts of violence and property damage.

Throughout the protests, the US was consistent in its support of people’s right to take to the streets and have their voice heard. Facing widespread unrest and public anger at home in the wake of the death of George Floyd, the reaction from US President Donald Trump appeared markedly different.

On Monday, Trump called for the military to be deployed to “dominate” protesters, and demanded states do more to stem “acts of domestic terror.”

The irony has not been lost on Beijing, which on Thursday marks (or rather doesn’t, the date is highly censored) its own military crackdown on anti-government protesters on June 4, 1989.

“Washington’s promise of equality and justice for all in the country has remained hollow at best,” state news agency Xinhua said in a commentary titled “The coming suffocation of the American dream.”

“Amid the ongoing anti-racism protests in the country, decision-makers in Washington, instead of trying to sooth the pain and anger of the public, have been fanning the flames, calling protesters ‘THUGS,’ and threatening them with ‘the most vicious dogs, and most ominous weapons,” the commentary said.

China Daily, a state-backed newspaper, noted that “The US, after the killing of Floyd, seems to be on fire, and troops have been mobilized to subdue angry demonstrators.”

“This is certainly not what the world expects to see in a country that is the world’s sole superpower,” it added. “But that sadly is the reality of the US.”

This rhetoric isn’t just embarrassing for Washington, it’s also a sign of how the US may find its influence damaged by a perceived hypocrisy over human rights at home and abroad.

Earlier today, Hong Kong’s leader Carrie Lam pointed to the unrest in the US as evidence of Washington’s “double standards.”

“They attach great importance to the national security of their country, but look at our national security through tinted spectacles, especially the current situation in Hong Kong,” she added.

The ability of Washington to influence Beijing’s position on Hong Kong – which is in part founded on fear of outside influence in the city – was already severely limited. The Trump administration’s reaction to protests at home may have hurt its position even further.

Следствие ведут уголовники. Действия следователей по «делу «Гермес Менеджмент»» шокируют даже судей
[url=https://lyudidela.press/articles/upravlenie/kto-stoit-za-delom-lajf-iz-… Евгений[/url]
«Количество преступлений следственной группы по делу, связываемому следователями с кооперативом «Бест Вей», множится...»

Следственная группа ГСУ ГУ МВД России по г. Санкт-Петербургу и Ленинградской области по уголовному делу, связываемому следователями с компаниями «Лайф-из-Гуд», «Гермес Менеджмент» и кооперативом «Бест Вей», однажды встав на путь совершения преступлений, никак не может остановиться.

Подделка документов

Количество преступлений следственной группы по делу, связываемому следователями с кооперативом «Бест Вей», множится: 1 декабря Приморский районный суд города Санкт-Петербурга вынужден был признать незаконным фактический отказ кооперативу в ознакомлении с материалами уголовного дела. При рассмотрении дела выяснилось, что следственная группа ГСУ питерского главка МВД, формально руководимая замначальника ГСУ полковником юстиции А.Н. Винокуровым, а фактически — подполковником юстиции Е.А. Сапетовой, подделала документы. Жалоба была подана адвокатом кооператива в июле, много раз ее рассмотрение откладывалось и вот наконец состоялось.

Уличенная адвокатами кооператива в нарушении УПК, следственная группа составила письмо об удовлетворении ходатайства задним числом и попыталась представить дело так, что кооператив не получил письмо по своей вине. Очередная грубая работа, выявленная, как ни парадоксально, в том числе и с помощью системы электронного документооборота самого питерского главка МВД.
Незаконное содержание под стражей

Подделка документов была вынужденным преступлением для сокрытия более серьезного: незаконного содержания под стражей. Если бы следствие 4 июля с. г., как оно пишет в поддельных документах, пригласило кооператив для ознакомления с материалами уголовного дела, оно бы не успело за 30 суток до истечения предельного срока содержания четверых обвиняемых под стражей начать ознакомление обвиняемых с материалами дела, а это было единственное основание продления им срока содержания под стражей.

Следственная группа из-за спешки даже толком не смогла завершить следственные действия, незаконно вела параллельное расследование по «резервному» делу, но сейчас, отбросив стыд, из-за отсутствия материала для составления «нужного» обвинительного заключения, незаконно продолжила расследование «основного» дела. Недавно СГ заявила о новой экспертизе — следственном действии, которое на этапе ознакомления с материалами дела обвиняемых противоречит УПК, предусматривающему четкую этапность завершения предварительного расследования.

Следственная группа могла действовать по закону: просто продлить расследование — но тогда пришлось бы отпускать из-под стражи четверых обвиняемых, что, очевидно, противоречит ее плану держать их в заложниках.

Признание судом первой инстанции незаконности невыполнения 216-й статьи УПК уже сейчас открывает возможности оспаривать октябрьские постановления судов о продлении «стражи» четверым обвиняемым: Уголовно-процессуальный кодекс, как уже было сказано, запрещает нарушение этапности и такое нарушение ведет к тому, что все этапы нужно осуществлять заново, а значит четверых обвиняемых нужно выпускать из СИЗО.

Нет сомнений, что и следственная группа, и прокуратура предпримут меры давления на суд второй инстанции, чтобы максимально затянуть рассмотрение апелляции, и по возможности решение суда первой инстанции отменить или скорректировать. Давить на суд будут всей мощью административного веса руководства ГСУ.
