TEN UNKNOWN FACTS ABOUT ROLLSROYCE

1. Founding and History: Rolls-Royce was founded in 1904 by Charles Rolls and Henry Royce in the United Kingdom. The company began with a handshake agreement between Rolls, a car dealer, and Royce, an engineer, to create "the best car in the world," leading to the formation of one of the most prestigious luxury automobile brands in history.

2. Spirit of Ecstasy: The iconic "Spirit of Ecstasy" hood ornament, which graces every Rolls-Royce vehicle, was introduced in 1911. The figure is modeled after Eleanor Thornton, a secretary and rumored lover of a prominent automotive journalist, and has become a symbol of elegance and luxury worldwide.

3. The Silent Ride: Rolls-Royce is renowned for the silence of its vehicles. The company is so committed to creating a quiet cabin that in the latest models, engineers added a special compound to the tyress to reduce road noise, and the cars feature over 300 pounds of sound insulation material.

4. Handcrafted Perfection: Each Rolls-Royce vehicle is meticulously handcrafted, with every car taking up to six months to complete. The wood veneers, leather upholstery, and even the stitching are done by skilled artisans, ensuring that each vehicle is unique and of the highest quality.

5. Bespoke Customization: Rolls-Royce offers an unparalleled level of customization through its Bespoke program. Customers can personalize virtually every aspect of their car, from the paint colour to the interior materials, and even unique features like personalized monograms or custom-built picnic sets.

6. The Starlight Headliner: One of Rolls-Royce’s most luxurious and unique features is the Starlight Headliner, which replicates a night sky with thousands of fibre-optic lights embedded in the car's roof. Customers can even specify the exact constellations they want, making each headliner a personal celestial map.

7. Luxury Beyond the Car: Rolls-Royce has expanded its luxury offerings beyond automobiles. The brand has introduced limited-edition accessories like luggage sets, champagne coolers, and even a luxury yacht design, all maintaining the same level of craftsmanship and exclusivity as their cars.

8. Royal Warrants: Rolls-Royce holds several Royal Warrants, which are marks of recognition for companies that have supplied goods or services to the British royal family for at least five years. This endorsement further cements Rolls-Royce's reputation for excellence and luxury.

9. Engineered for Perfection: Rolls-Royce engines are not only used in their cars but also aviation. The company’s aerospace division is a major supplier of jet engines for commercial and military aircraft, known for their reliability and advanced engineering, just like their automobile engines.

10. Cultural Status Symbol: Rolls-Royce vehicles are synonymous with wealth, power, and prestige. The brand's cars have been favoured by royalty, celebrities, and world leaders for over a century, appearing in countless films, music videos, and cultural references as the ultimate symbol of luxury.

S*X AND FEELINGS....THE HARD TRUTH.....

"A Real Man Doesn't Allow His Er****on To Determine The Direction Of His Life"

A man can have s*x with a lady and still don't have any feelings for her.

Men only need space to have s*x, but a woman cannot have s*x without feelings.

A man can travel for eight hours just to have s*x with a female friend and yet, not love her.

S*x makes men act as if they are in love while they are not!

The eight-hour travel sacrifice, a gift bought, hotel paid for and other expenses may seem to be true love BUT they were all for S*X and nothing more.

The foolish thing in this, the majority of women would jamb up inside them and conclude that is the art of true love.

Please remember, S*X is not an act of COMMITMENT!

Men still leave the woman they sleep with in bed and start thinking of the next woman to sleep with.

👉 The satisfaction that comes from s*x dies in a minute!

It's the nature of Lions to go miles to hunt. The same with men.

Listen to me, dear single ladies!

A man who truly loves you will not ask you for s*x during the time of your relationship But ask you what is your plan for your future!

All his concerns are your welfare, how he will build you spiritually, and mentally, in your career and business, and how you will become a better person tomorrow.

He will not just be a fiancé But act like a father, Mentor, Priest, a shepherd, a helper of destiny, and a friend that is ready to help you no matter what in any situation without expecting any instant reward.

Real MAN doesn't allow his Er****on to determine his Direction 😆

That is how to know a MAN who truly and genuinely loves you.

I am not posting this to make anyone guilty or stand as a judge.

Thank you. 🤝

EXCLUSIVE: ARMED ROBBERS INVADE A*O ROCK, EMPTY BUHARI’S CHIEF OF STAFF GAMBARI, ADMIN OFFICER MAIKANO’S RESIDENCES.

Armed men suspected to be robbers invaded the residences of two senior aides to President Muhammadu Buhari inside the precinct of the Presidential Villa, administration officials and security sources have told Peoples Gazette, raising fears that the rising insecurity across the country was drawing closer to the elite than previously estimated.

The incident on May 9 (yesterday) prompted Ibrahim Gambari and Abubakar Maikano, the chief of staff and admin officer, respectively, to abandon their residences, sources said.

“Their houses were robbed and the robbers packed money and other valuable assets from both houses,” an aide to the informed about the robbery told The Gazette.

It was not immediately clear whether or not valuable documents of state interest were carted away by the intruders, but The Gazette heard that the residences were thoroughly ransacked.

“The robbers took away as much as possible from both places,” a security officer that confirmed the incident said. “What is more unfortunate is that no one has been arrested.”

Officials also said Mr. Gambari was given an official residence at the Defense House, but has not been living there, preferring instead to live inside A*o Rock and be close to the president.

Nigeria’s presidential palace just east of the city center has long been seen as highly fortified and far beyond the reach of burglars, bandits and other criminals currently holding the vast swathes of the country to ransom.

But as criminal activities overshadow other matters of national consequences, Mr. Buhari has faced calls to act urgently before it would be too late.


Armed bandits have abducted thousands of citizens since January alone, claiming billions in ransom payments at an alarming rate.

No explanation was immediately rendered for the invasion and why it was not prevented by the ubiquitous contingent of security officers, especially those of the State Security Service, guarding the fortress.

Mr. Gambari did not immediately return a request seeking comments.
A spokesman for the SSS said he would not comment on the matter and a spokeswoman for the police in Abuja abruptly disconnected the call upon hearing The Gazette’s enquiry was about a security breach at the Presidential Villa.

SCOTTISH MUSIC SCHOOL ACCEPTS CRYPTOCURRENCY AS PAYMENT FOR LESSONS.

An Edinburgh music school will begin to accept tuition payments in the form of cryptocurrency.

A Scottish music school will begin accepting cryptocurrency for tuition payments following demand from students, it was announced this week. The Morningside School of Music in Edinburgh said it was responding to suggestions from adult pupils in the school, many of whom now work in the city’s burgeoning fintech sector.

Morningside’s director, Linda Boyd, said the school had previously used cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (BTC) to make business purchases and could see the utility in accepting it as a form of payment.

She said, “We sometimes use things like Bitcoin to pay for goods for the school, so we know how fast and easy it is and want our music students to be able to do the same.”

Boyd said the school’s decision to accept cryptocurrency was an example of a small business following the recent example set by large businesses, adding that it simply represented a viable alternative payment method.

“Some larger companies across the world are already doing this, so it’s just a matter of time before smaller businesses like ours start doing the same. It’s just about giving our customers another way of paying and making life easier for them.”

Boyd referenced the capital city’s growing fintech industry, noting that many requests for the school to accept cryptocurrency came from people working in that industry.

“Edinburgh’s got a big fintech industry and many of our pupils work or study in that sector, so for them this is a perfectly natural way to pay,” Boyd said.

The financial technology industry has been on an upward trajectory in Edinburgh since 2019. FinTech Scotland, which operates in conjunction with Edinburgh University, was recently awarded a 22.5 million euro ($30.9 million) grant to establish a Global Open Finance Centre of Excellence in the city, in recognition of its status as a prominent national fintech cluster.

Boyd said cryptocurrency payments for a range of goods and services would become commonplace in the near future.

“Cryptocurrency is here to stay and will eventually become a routine way for people to pay for services of all descriptions,” she said. Kwasi Owusu-Ansah Cointelegraph

JAPAN PLANS TO TRACK VISITOR MOVEMENTS USING GPS.

Japan closed its border for most non-citizen arrivals in March and only allowed foreign residents who were outside of the country when this took place to return this fall.

The 2020 Olympics were rescheduled to take place a year later. The country is now trying to develop a solution that would allow international spectators and the athletes and support crew to enter the country during the games.

The country (Japan) is developing a system aimed at keeping track of travelers from overseas as part of efforts to prevent the further spread of the novel coronavirus within its borders, a senior government official said Sunday.

Takuya Hirai, digital transformation minister, said on a TV program that he’d like to make it mandatory for people entering the country.

Hirai said the government wants to complete the development of the monitoring system in time for the rescheduled Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics, due to be held next summer.
Without providing details, he said it will function by using GPS.

Conclusion

It is unclear if Mr. Takuya refers to an ankle bracelet type device that many under house arrest are required to wear, or if this “GPS” tracking is done using a mobile phone (you can always fake your location)?

The country has spent so much money with the 2020 games that they will do whatever is necessary to hold them in less than eight months.

Japan has been mostly spared from the Covid-19 infections and deaths so far. The numbers still are good, although the country is facings the third wave right now.
