(September,2020. Chicago, Illinois) -After listening to Big Dawg079’s new drill debut, “Body” was a legit experience. The music itself has a dope rhythm... and then the lyrics! Explicit? YES. Aggressive? Yes. Artistic? Definitely. The anguish and voice spoken in “Body” will speak to so many in this crazy a$$ year we’re calling 2020. First, though, a bit about explicit lyrics.
All artists reach unique audiences, and each audience deserves to have the best in their preferred art form. This includes drill music with explicit lyrics. While explicit content has long been debated as ‘art,’ there is no denying the popularity and success of a long list of rap and drill artists including Drake, Tupac, Lil Kim, and Chief Keef. These artists combined are worth more than $300 million.
That list also includes Cardi B, released one of the hottest songs this year is “WAP.” Not only explicit, but the song also celebrates a woman’s sexuality. Loudly and proudly, without hesitation or apology. The week ending on August 13th was the most successful debut of any track ever with over 93 million U.S. streams and hit #1 on the Top 100 Hits billboard.
So, what’s the attraction to explicit lyrics? Emotions from anger, sorrow, frustration, and hate that seethes from within that are held by fans can be expressed, dealt, and healed by listening to these lyrics. Those words can also help people process ideas and issues. For many, these lyrics acknowledge the reality of life faced every day. A perfect example of this comes from rising artist and drill rapper Big Dawg079.
Growing up in Chicago, Emmanuel Moulten didn’t have all the things needed to be what society deems ‘successful.’ At a street-smart age of 14, Big Dawg079 began a 24-year stint in prison. After all those years, he grew and learned to be an adult on the inside. Upon release, he knew it was time to take his second chance at a better life. Finding his voice and ability to weave words and music together, the record “Deep Cover 2020” came into focus and is finally a reality.
The newest single, “Body,” is being released September 30th, 2020. The independent record label 079Cartel is proud to produce this new record. Big Dawg079 is its headline artist and CEO.

An app that allows its users to locate and reach out to the people in their lives easily has launched a crowdfunding campaign. While announcing the launch of the app on crowdfunding platforms, namely Indiegogo; Peter Pham, the founder of InSircle, said that they are addressing the “where” question in contact and communication app.
Narrating how the idea of inSircle came about, Peter, who is a software engineer and an entrepreneur, says that the app was born out of an idea to communicate with his wife and coordinate things at home. “At times, my wife was driving, and she couldn’t answer my calls. With kids having to be picked up from school among many other activities, I was left wondering what to do. So, I thought of an app that allows people to locate and contact each other without the need for a lot of interactions with the phone.” Peter also added that he came to realize that such a feature would help to remove many inconveniences in those situations that cause people unnecessary stress and anxiety.
With the smart contact app, users will be relieved of the stress and anxiety of not knowing the whereabouts of their loved one, or the agony of spending time wandering around looking for someone at work or in a meet up place. “You may be travelling together with a friend or a loved one, and when you part ways you may find it challenging to reconnect. The app solves all this! There will be no need to spend time looking for one another. This smart contact app can do all that and more by saving on time, driving-in-circles gas, and even unnecessary worry. “said Peter adding that the app will also help small business owners improve their business efficiency, as employees can use it to deliver and collect anything while they are on the move.
The app also includes messaging and video call features seamlessly integrated for smooth user’s experience. Making it a complete contact tool, from locating to making contact in a few simple steps. Video conference call is also supported with up to 5 users on the same call.
While explaining how the app works, Peter confirmed that several language option are available on the app, including English, Spanish, German, French, Portuguese, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Hindi, and Vietnamese; promising that more languages will be available in the near future as inSircle grows.
With the crowdfunding, Peter intends to reach the masses, deploying their services across North and South America as well as other continents.
The app is currently available on the App Store and Google Play.
With the need to curb the spread of COVID-19 at the top of the agenda, masks have been recommended for their effectiveness in preventing infections in places where social and physical distancing are not possible. Health experts and scientists have said that wearing a mask reduces the chances of infection significantly with authorities all over the world encouraging people to mask up. In this spirit, Whatanimaltoday.com came up with an idea of encouraging every member of the family, including the youngest ones, to wear a mask. “With a sudden need to wear masks in public places, we thought of a way to make wearing masks enjoyable for families and kids,” said the company representative while announcing the availability of their animal masks.
Iryna Shkira, the co-founder of Whatanimaltoday.com explains that they have launched a new brand of fun animal face masks that are machine washable and 100% cotton with feature filter pockets. “Kids love wearing our masks, and parents are relieved now that they don\'t have to struggle with ‘making’ their kids wear them anymore,” said Iryna.
Iryna further explained that, “We are not only providing playful animal masks that will make it fun for the kids but we are also contributing to helping those that have lost a part of their income,” acknowledging that there are indeed people who have lost a significant amount of income due to this pandemic.
For this reason, all their masks are hand sewn by local Portuguese seamstresses as opposed to turning to one big manufacturer. With their model of production, the funny face mask makers are providing work to a number of people. “Through buying our masks, customers will not only be reducing the spread of COVID-19 but also the economic effects it has meted out on people. Our mask makers will get remuneration that will help to compensate for their loss of earnings,” observed Iryna, who also added that part of the proceeds they get from sales will be donated to the World Health Organization.
“We wondered how else we could contribute to fight COVID-19 and decided to donate part of our income to the COVID Response Fund – with each purchase from our website one Euro or one Pound (depending on the currency of sale) goes to the fund,” said Iryna.
Because the face masks are made of 100% cotton, they can be washed and recycled. This, according to the company representative, makes them safer for the environment. To make the face masks more effective against infection, the reusable face covers come with a pocket for changeable filters or surgical masks. While acknowledging that the face masks may not offer full protection against the virus, the company spokesperson cited WHO advisories that recommend adding more layers on a cloth mask.
Parents that have bought the funny kids face masks say that the children love wearing them, confirming that they used to have a hard time convincing them to wear a mask. “My son cannot get enough of his mask – I had to buy a couple of extras, so he can choose a different animal every day!” exclaimed one of the parents.
It’s not just the kids who are having fun wearing the face masks either. Adults are also getting compliments on the street. “A beautifully made mask with lots of stunning details. I\'ve gotten compliments wherever I have worn it, and my 4-year old son likes his mask too. There is plenty of elastic and you can tie a loop to adjust the size of your mask,” said one of the customers, who also described them as adorable and comfortable to wear.
Whatanimaltoday.com is a Portuguese, Lisbon based brand; a mother-daughter company born out of a sudden need to wear face masks. Its mission is to take this necessity (and the grim attitude towards it) of wearing masks and turn it into a fun experience – be it wearing twinning masks with your kids, or significant other; walking the dog wearing a puppy face mask, or going grocery shopping with panda face masks on.

Battle of Bands, Paul Milnes’s debut novel, reflects a positive creative outlet and a shining light during the darkest period in Paul’s life. It has been described as nostalgic, chilling, and thought provoking.
Published in August 2020, the novel is an emotionally powerful story that is based in the early to mid-1980s. It follows the life of two characters, Archie and Lucy Saunders, who leave the familiar comfort of their home farm in Victoria, Australia to begin a new life in the hustle and bustle of Melbourne at a private Catholic school. With memories of her mother’s heart wrenching death in a tragic accident that haunt Lucy, she spirals out of control in the dark and twisted underground of Melbourne. On the other hand, Archie reaches to the stars to win the Battle of the Bands competition in order to fulfil his dreams of following in his father’s footsteps in becoming a band singer. The only thing stopping them is an arch-rival band that has the same agenda. The story touches on various topics for adolescents including bullying, sex education, petty crime, and the difference between right and wrong.
“This book has been in the making for literally three decades. First putting pencil to paper back in 1991, I wrote the first chapter or so while spending two nights in a hospital bed at Moss man, North Queensland. This was followed by many countless late nights writing bits and pieces over the years. The past two to three years have been more intense, bordering on obsession, with the completion of writing, hiring, and collaborating with professional editors,” said Paul Milnes, the author while explaining how he came to finally finish the book.
“Battle of Bands was born around a handful of songs that had been written and performed. The Song ‘Carefully Sold’ was written on a farm when I was 19,with various other songs over the years,” said Paul,whose singing and performing dreams were cut short after he was hospitalized suffering whooping cough, a disease that damaged his vocal cords, destroyed his confidence, and trashed his self-esteem, in early 2010. But writing the story became a positive creative outlet for him that shone a much-needed light on those dark times for him.
Those who have read the book describe the author as a great storyteller and a writer who has achieved a great mix of fact and fiction easily. Lovers of the late 70s and 80s music have also been urged to read the book, as it not only brings back memories but also ignites the nostalgic events that shaped that period.
Published by Australian Self Publishing Group, Pty. Ltd / Inspiring Publishers, the book is available at www.battleofbands.com.au and on Amazon as in Kindle format. The book trailer can be viewed and the first chapter can be read for free on the website.

This is when he started to focus on finishing a story that he had started to write over 30 years ago in a hospital bed.
Writing this story became a positive creative outlet, shining a much-needed light during the darkest of times and helped him cope with his loss.

A brand new SAAS technology platform, GapNurse, is helping address one of the biggest challenges facing the healthcare industry. The platform is connecting nursing professionals with local healthcare facilities. While introducing the platform, one of the GapNurse founders said that they are coming in to provide solutions at a time when there is a dire emergency shortage and a gap between the healthcare professional’s availability and their demand. While emphasizing that they are not a staffing agency, the founder stressed that they are providing a revolutionary approach for facilities and nurses to discover their compatibility.
GapNurse, which seeks to empower nurses through offering flexibility and higher pay while at the same time helping to lower the cost of care, is currently seeking RNs, LPNs, CNAs, Medical Technicians and QMAPs.
The shortage of healthcare professionals, and specialist nurses in particular, has been crippling the healthcare industry for a long time. Never in the recent history has this challenge been so clear than the first half of 2020, when the world was grappling with a serious public health crisis. The shortage of nurses, increases in medical complexities, caregiver fatigue, and now COVID-19; the new reality is pushing talented caregivers to new levels of exhaustion. This is what promoted a group of health administrators, nurses, and technologists to put their differences aside and create a real-world solution that can put these problems to an end.
“We seek to connect empowered healthcare workers with organizations who value their skills and knowledge and to promote a safe, affordable, and trustworthy community of care,” said the platform spokesperson, also confirming that licensed clinicians (RNs, LPNs, CNAs, Med-Techs, QMAPs) are joining at no cost. The platform spokesperson also added that safety and security of their information is guaranteed, as it will be stored in the nurse\'s "Personal Vault".
Signing up
Nurses sign up by being prompted on an app that is downloaded in iPhone\'s App Store OR in Google Play on Android devices. The registration process is prompted and videos are available to guide users through the registration process. Nurses provide details such as their healthcare license number and their records of vaccinations. During the application, one should provide a personal photo and copies of auto insurance as some of the assignments may require travel as well as giving consent for a background check. Other details include payment options where one can choose same day pay or weekly direct deposits as well as infection control records. “All the information provided during the registration process is treated with the utmost confidentiality, and its security and safety is guaranteed,” added the platform spokesperson.
What the users are saying
Nurses who have signed up with the platform talk of the great benefits they have gotten in the short period it has been in operation. Debora , a director of nursing, had this to say: "So I decided to try GapNurse. Turns out, I was able to try out nurses before making them full time offers, and I wasn\'t disappointed." The same experience was expressed by Mary, an RN in Florida, "GapNurse allowed me to pick up a few extra shifts here and there, and I earned higher rates than at my full-time job. It’s a great way to make more money to pay off debt". Flexibility is also proven by Brian, a CNA from Colorado who likened it with Uber: “It’s just like Uber for nurses. All I had to do was log onto the app, picked up 4-hour shift 2 miles from my house, and I was paid on the same day. It was awesome.”
Similar flexibility sentiments were expressed by Morgan, an LPN, from Florida: "Everyone says nurses are in demand, but I was laid off because I didn\'t want to work on a COVID Floor. GapNurse allows me to pick up shifts whenever I want, so it lets me live the lifestyle I want while making enough money to pay my bills."
To re-assure facility managers, GapNurse carefully and thoroughly checks the background of the nurses who participate in the program; this, according to the platform spokesperson, ensures that caregivers are receiving the high-quality care they deserve. Upon vetting, a nurse is required to choose jobs that they are fit to do based on their qualifications, experience, availability, flexibility, and comfort. Among the benefits that a caregiver gets from this program is affordable and quality healthcare while the professional nurses are guaranteed of higher and same day payment as well as access to online learning tools and education while their details are kept secure and safe.
“We are helping nursing professionals to seamlessly connect with local facilities that value their skills and experience.In doing that, we are contributing to the development of healthcare through promoting safety, affordability, and a trustworthy community of care,” said the GapNurse spokesperson.
About GapNurse
GapNurse is a platform founded by healthcare professionals whose aim is to allow nurses and nursing assistants to enjoy their professions with flexibility. It seamlessly connects independent nursing professionals with healthcare facilities that are looking to fill short-term and permanent assignments.
Bollywood film producer and director Prakash Bhardwaj has launched an infotainment news portal named "DHANSU.” The CEO, who also produces films and series, among which are the very successful seasons of “Sare Jahan Se Achha,” said that Dhansu will be a web infotainment portal that is accessible to everyone. Dhansu will have articles and series including infamous and famous controversies, conspiracies, trivia, political events, Bollywood, art, literature, and a whole lot more. “The audience will get to know real information with actual facts and sources,” said Prakash Bhardwaj when announcing the creation of the news portal.
Bhardwaj came up with the idea for the news portal after the tremendous success of the series "Sare Jahan Se Achha" Seasons 1 and 2. “Sare Jahan Se Achha” is a web reality show which focuses on good work done by ordinary people who want to improve society. Known for his socially aware and political films, the Bollywood director and producer says with DHANSU, people will learn important information and events without bias.
“When you want to get a reference, you can rely on non-biased and researched sources here in Dhansu. People can watch quality information and news which one should know. We are not in any race of doing the fastest news countdown, but we will give people a quality news platform where they can spend quality time to know interesting facts,” said Prakash while explaining the rationale behind the infotainment news portal.
The Dhansu news and views platform gives its audience objective content. Prakash says that they want to explore important events, both from the past and present, reporting them objectively. “With Dhansu, you can expect unbiased views. We are neutral and do not favor any wing, caste, or race. Our aim is to present viewers with information and entertainment that meet their needs as well as maintaining professionalism and standards.” According to Bhardwaj, the platform will be like reading a chapter in a book, where people can get references. “We are not in any race of getting the fastest news and happenings publicized. We are also not very keen to give aggressive news but to talk about things that inform and entertain you,” added the Dhansu CEO.
In a world that is riddled with fake news and biased reporting, Dhansu aims to give people an alternative—a platform they can actually rely on that provides independent and objective reporting, and where biases based on race, politics, or caste do not influence the content. With the media having lost its trustworthiness among much of its audience, the new portal aims to restore public trust by providing content based on facts. The platform comes at a time when reliance on the internet to provide answers has increased tremendously, with the probability of coming across content that is misleading being higher than ever. Dhansu fills an information gap for people who are looking for true and unbiased content. Prakash says that Dhansu is up to this task, even adding that his previous work in the film industry is proof that they can deliver the expectations of their audience. “We are building a platform that you can rely on—a place where quality is the guiding principle. With us, you are assured of information and news that is objective. We are not after fame but just want to fulfill our duty to the audience by giving them content that means something in their lives,” said Prakash while urging the audience to support the new portal.
