Lindsay was interviewed briefly about her opinion on Britney’s decision to file for divorce from Kevin Federline, only to callously respond, “I didn’t even know that, actually. That’s bad of me, I’m sorry, but that’s none of my business. I really don’t care, to be honest.
Britney Spears is not, I mean, I’ve met her twice.”

The tenuous friendship reached another low in ’08 when they got into an argument at a pre-Grammy party centered around vying for Timbaland’s producing skills for their nonexistent forthcoming albums.
During the 1992 campaign, Wright coined the term "bimbo eruptions" to describe rumors alleging extramarital affairs by Clinton. Wright worked for George McGovern's unsuccessful 1972 presidential campaign.[7] It was during this campaign when she met Bill Clinton and Hillary
Rodham.[1] Wright became close friends with Rodham, a woman she thought had the potential to become a U.S. senator or America's first female president

On the eve of the 1992 election, Anne Wexler offered Wright a position as executive vice president of The Wexler Group, a
lobbying firm whose parent company is the WPP Group. As a lobbyist, Wright's clients included American Airlines, the American Dietetic Association, the American Forest & Paper Association, and ARCO, among others. Bill and Hillary Clinton, then students at Yale Law School, were
recruited among the campaign's volunteer workers. (Mrs. Clinton, while running for President in 2008, credited Wexler with providing her first political job. Assisted by her efforts, Carter was able to secure passage of the Torrijos-Carter Treaties that would lead to the end of
U.S. control over the Panama Canal, as well as deregulation of the airlines, trucking industry and newly found natural gas. Called the "Rolodex Queen" for the number and scope of her contacts, and lauded by Washingtonian magazine as "easily the most influential female lobbyist"
in the capital, she credited her success to fulfilling the lobbyist's responsibility of guiding legislators through the pros and cons of complex legislation, a process that "government officials are not comfortable making... by themselves."
The company was founded as Wire and Plastic Products plc to manufacture wire shopping baskets in 1971. In 1985 Martin Sorrell, searching for a listed company through which to build a worldwide marketing services company, bought a controlling stake. In 2012, Sorrell almost sold
WPP to Berkshire Hathaway. According to Sorrell, over lunch at the Hyatt Hotel in Washington, Warren Buffett offered 925p per share, or a 20% premium over the then share price. In October 2019, MightyHive announced that it was merging with ConversionWorks, a company which works
with Boots, Diageo and Giffgaff.

The parent company, The Boots Company plc, merged with Alliance UniChem in 2006 to form Alliance Boots. In 2007, Alliance Boots was bought by Kohlberg Kravis Roberts and Stefano Pessina, taking the company private, and moving its headquarters to
Switzerland

It exercised this option in 2014, and as a result Boots became a subsidiary of the new company, Walgreens Boots Alliance, on 31 December 2014

Diageo was formed in 1997 from the merger of Guinness Brewery and Grand Metropolitan. Its creation was driven by the executives Anthony Greener and Philip Yea at Guinness,[10] along with George Bull and John McGrath of Grand Metropolitan.[11] Anthony Greener was the first
executive chairman. Diageo owned Pillsbury until 2000 when it was sold to General Mills. In 2002, Diageo sold the Burger King fast food restaurant chain to a consortium led by US firm Texas Pacific for US$1.5 billion.
In 2001, Diageo acquired the Seagram’s spirits and wine
businesses. In January 2020, Diageo agreed to pay US$5 million to settle charges brought by the US Securities and Exchange Commission that alleged the company had pressured distributors to buy products in excess of demand in order to hit performance goals.
Diageo's head office is in Park Royal, London Borough of Brent,[51] on the site of a former Guinness brewery[52] which had closed in 2004 after producing beer since 1936.[53] Diageo's previous head office facility had been located in Henrietta Place, in the Marylebone district
of the City of Westminster in London, since 1996. In 2009, Diageo announced that it was closing the Henrietta Place facility as part of a cost reduction programme and moved its employees to the Park Royal site.
In July 2009, Diageo announced that, after nearly 200 years of association with the town of Kilmarnock, Scotland, they would be closing the Johnnie Walker blending and bottling plant[
In November 2016, Diageo announced its intention of selling at auction Sir Edwin Landseer's iconic 1851 painting The Monarch of the Glen – which the company owns, but which has been on loan to the National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh since 1999 – as it has "no direct link
to our business or brands"The Monarch of the Glen is an oil-on-canvas painting of a red deer stag completed in 1851 by the English painter Sir Edwin Landseer. It was commissioned as part of a series of three panels to hang in the Palace of Westminster in London. As one of the
most popular paintings throughout the 19th century, it sold widely in reproductions in steel engraving, and was finally bought by companies to use in advertising. The painting had become something of a cliché by the mid-20th century, as "the ultimate biscuit tin image of
Scotland: a bulky stag set against the violet hills and watery skies of an isolated wilderness", according to the Sunday Herald. Landseer was a member of the Royal Academy, a favourite of Queen Victoria, and had become famous for his paintings and drawings of animals. His later
works include the sculptures of the lions at the foot of Nelson's Column in Trafalgar Square. From the 1840s, he produced a series of intricately observed studies of stags based on those he had seen on the trips he had been making to the Scottish Highlands since 1824. In 1850,
Landseer received a national commission to paint three subjects connected with the chase for the Refreshment Rooms of the House of Lords, for which he produced Monarch of the Glen and two other paintings.
It was exhibited in London in 1851, 1874 and 1890.[6] From the collection of William Denison, 1st Earl of Londesborough it passed in 1884 to Henry Eaton, 1st Baron Cheylesmore after whose death in 1891 it realized £7,245 at his sale at Christie's in May 1892, where it was bought
by Agnew's, who resold it to T. Barratt for £8,000. In 1916 he resold it at Christie's for £5,250.[7] The price in 1892 was the highest made by a Landseer before the 1960s, with the exception of a rumoured price of £10,000 in a private sale of The Otter Hunt in 1873, which would
have then represented the highest price ever paid for a British painting.

The painting was purchased in 1916 by Pears soap company and featured in their advertising. It was sold on to John Dewar & Sons distillery and became their trademark before similarly being used
by Glenfiddich. The painting was then acquired as part of the purchase of Dewar's by Diageo. In 1997 Diageo sold Dewar's to Bacardi but this did not include ancillary assets. Diageo then loaned the painting to the National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh.

There’s an old saying: “A true gentleman is a man who can play the bagpipes, but doesn’t.” In March, when Donald Trump called in to “Hannity” to tout Jeff Sessions’s replacement, he crowed, “Our new Attorney General, Bill Barr, is a great gentleman.” But new information has
come to light. This magazine has located five individuals who attest that Barr, who has come under fire for his SparkNotes summary of the Mueller report, plays the bagpipes. And, no, it wasn’t just a onetime thing, in college, where he mistook a set of bagpipes for a bong.
Throughout the eighties, Barr performed in the City of Washington Pipe Band—one of the top bagpipe ensembles in the world—giving new meaning to the cool-dad line “I used to be in a band.”

Louis Bastien (Esperantist) - Wikipedia

In the belief that this fever (now known as malaria) was waterborne, soldiers were ordered to drink only boiled water.

It was not till three years later that Sir Ronald Ross conclusively determined that the en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_Bas…
cause of malaria is a parasite transmitted by the Anopheles mosquito.

In 2016, a CRISPR-Cas9 gene drive system was proposed to eradicate Anopheles gambiae, by deleting the dsx gene, causing female sterility.

Doublesex (dsx) is a gene that is involved in the sex determination
system of many insects including the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster.
