GDP Script/ Top Stories for August 7th Publish Date: August 7th From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Thursday, August 7th and Happy birthday to Wayne Knight I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by KIA Mall of Georgia. Gwinnett commissioners narrowly OK grant funds for maternal health clinic A former Gwinnett student got into McConnell Middle School while carrying a knife Gwinnett Technical College police department achieves full state certification Plus, Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on peaches All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: 07.14.22 KIA MOG STORY 1: Gwinnett commissioners narrowly OK grant funds for maternal health clinic Gwinnett County commissioners were split this week, narrowly approving a $450,000 grant for Georgia Wellness Group, a Lawrenceville maternal health clinic that’s sparked heated debate. Critics, mostly Democrats, have accused the clinic of being “anti-abortion” and linked it to Obria, a controversial organization. The 3-2 vote came after hours of back-and-forth. Commissioners Ben Ku and Kirkland Carden wanted the clinic removed from the funding plan, but others, like Jasper Watkins, pushed back hard. “This is not a fake clinic,” Watkins said. “They’re licensed, accredited, and provide critical care to hundreds of women.” Georgia Wellness insists it’s no longer tied to Obria and focuses on affordable prenatal care, STI testing, and maternal mental health. Still, tensions ran high, with local Democrats calling the clinic manipulative and unregulated. STORY 2: A former Gwinnett student got into McConnell Middle School while carrying a knife Two days into the school year, and Gwinnett County Public Schools is already dealing with a scary situation—a former student sneaking into McConnell Middle School with a knife. Principal Derico White told parents in a letter that the individual slipped in through a side door early Tuesday morning, before classes started. Thankfully, no students were inside yet. “Our staff acted quickly,” White wrote. “The person was escorted to the front office and taken into custody by police, who found a knife during a search. No threats were made, and no one was harmed.” This incident comes as GCPS is rolling out $19.3 million worth of weapons detection systems across its schools—a process that’s still underway. It’s unclear if McConnell had any devices installed yet. STORY 3: Gwinnett Technical College police department achieves full state certification Gwinnett Technical College’s police department just hit a major milestone: full state certification from the Georgia Law Enforcement Certification Program. It’s a big deal—kind of like the gold medal of public safety in Georgia. Getting there wasn’t easy. The department had to prove it meets over 100 professional standards, from ethical conduct to community engagement. “This is a testament to our police force’s dedication,” said Gwinnett Tech President Dr. Glen Cannon. “They’ve set the bar high for campus safety.” The certification process dug deep into policies, procedures, and day-to-day operations, ensuring the department is ready to handle the unique challenges of a college campus. This recognition isn’t just about a badge of honor—it’s about creating a safe, supportive space for students, staff, and faculty. Gwinnett Tech’s commitment to safety and integrity shines through, and now they’re part of an elite group of law enforcement agencies across Georgia.

We’ll be right back Break 2: Ingles Markets 3 STORY 4: Another Gwinnett family is mourning loved one whose body was found on Bell Mountain Months after 19-year-old twins Qaadir and Naazir Lewis were found dead on Bell Mountain, another tragedy has struck the same spot. On July 19, Towns County deputies discovered the body of 38-year-old Norcross resident Phat Tan Bui inside his car in the mountain’s parking lot. His family had reported him missing just a day earlier, according to the GBI. Bui’s obituary describes him as someone with a “bright smile, adventurous spirit, and generous heart.” He loved skating and videography. His funeral was held over the weekend. The GBI says no foul play is suspected in either case, though Bui’s death is still under investigation. The Lewis twins’ deaths were ruled suicides, but their family and the NAACP have strongly disputed that, alleging foul play and even a cover-up. Bui’s family, however, is urging patience. “We’re still processing and waiting for answers,” his sister, wrote on Facebook. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Towns County Sheriff’s Office or the GBI. Tips can also be submitted anonymously online or through the “See Something, Send Something” app. STORY 5: Cirque du Soleil’s 'OVO' coming to Gas South Arena this weekend Lydia Harper’s journey to becoming artistic director for Cirque du Soleil wasn’t exactly slow—more like a whirlwind. “It was fast,” she laughed. “Big learning curve, but hey, I’m an acrobat. Climbing’s kind of my thing.” Now based in London, Harper will be in Duluth with Cirque’s “OVO” from Aug. 7–10 at Gas South Arena. The show, a vibrant, bug-themed spectacle, has dazzled 7 million people worldwide since its 2009 debut. Harper’s path started onstage—Chinese Pole, Double Cloud, Rope—you name it. She joined Cirque in 2015 as an acrobat for “TORUK,” then climbed the ranks: captain, coach, assistant director, and finally, artistic director two years ago. Her job? Everything on stage. Casting, choreography, rehearsals, even approving new elements. “We’ve got 53 artists from all over the world—it’s like running a tiny, chaotic ecosystem,” she said. Performing was her first love, but these days, she’s all about helping others shine. Touring isn’t easy—living out of a suitcase, missing family—but Harper finds magic in the chaos. Catch “OVO” in Duluth for five shows. Details at cirquedusoleil.com/ovo.

I didn't think I liked the circus.But one night under a Cirque du Soleil tent changed that. In this episode, I reflect on why — and what it taught me about beauty, teamwork, and the fine line between entertainment and art.https://www.youtube.com/@IHeartThisPodcast
Salut c'est Ibby,Dans cet épisode, on parle d'un moment clé : celui où tu t'es enfin choisie. Celui où tu as arrêté de plaire à tout le monde, de t'adapter en permanence, de t'oublier pour cocher les cases. Tu as dit non. Tu as pris ta place. Et ça, c'est énorme.Je partage avec toi des réflexions et des rappels pour t'aider à assumer ce choix, à ne plus culpabiliser d'avoir mis tes besoins en premier. Ce n'est pas de l'égoïsme, c'est de l'amour de soi. Tu mérites d'être fière de cette décision.Alors prends un moment pour toi et rejoins-moi dans cette conversation douce mais puissante. Rappelle-toi : tu es ta maison, ton point de départ, ton socle. Et tu as eu raison de te choisir.N'hésite pas à lâcher un 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ et un petit commentaire

Salut c'est Ibby,Dans cet épisode, on parle de limites. De celles qu'on oublie trop souvent de poser, par peur de perdre l'autre, de passer pour quelqu'un de “trop sensible” ou “trop exigeant”. Mais à force de tout tolérer, tu t'oublies. Tu t'effaces.Je veux te rappeler que dire non, c'est aussi se dire oui à soi-même. Que tu as le droit d'arrêter de justifier ce qui te fait du mal. Que tu peux choisir de ne plus tout encaisser sous prétexte que tu es forte.Je partage avec toi des réflexions pour te reconnecter à ta valeur, et pour t'encourager à ne plus minimiser ce que tu ressens.

En juillet 2023, des scientifiques américains ont réalisé une avancée majeure dans la lutte contre la dépendance aux énergies fossiles. Ils ont réussi une fusion nucléaire, en ayant produit le plus d'énergie jamais enregistré auparavant. Cette énergie serait suffisamment puissante pour s'émanciper de celles dégageant des gaz à effet de serre. Très basiquement, la fusion nucléaire est une réaction au cours de laquelle deux noyaux atomiques s'assemblent pour en former un plus gros, en libérant une énorme quantité d'énergie. Les réacteurs nucléaires sont capables de reproduire les réactions physiques et chimiques qui ont lieu au cœur des étoiles, d'où leur surnom de “soleils artificiels.” D'où vient la fusion nucléaire ? Pourquoi est-ce une grande avancée technologique ? Quel est le futur de la fusion nucléaire ? Écoutez la suite de cet épisode de "Maintenant vous savez".

Salut c'est Ibby,Dans cet épisode, on parle argent. Gérer ses sous, c'est pas toujours évident – surtout quand on a jamais appris à le faire.

C dans l'air l'invité du 2 août avec Faïza Bossy, médecin généraliste nutritionniste à Paris.L'été rime avec soleil et détente, mais aussi imprudences. La mode du moment, le "sun tattoo" ou tatouage solaire, consiste à dessiner un motif éphémère en protégeant certaines zones de la peau avec de la crème solaire ou des objets pendant l'exposition. Cette pratique se répand sur les plages, mais ces brûlures volontaires exposent à un danger réel. En France, 85 % des cancers de la peau sont liés à une surexposition aux UV. Certains produits, comme la graisse à traire encore utilisée pour bronzer, accélèrent le vieillissement cutané. Les grains de beauté exposés au soleil peuvent, eux, évoluer en mélanome.Autre menace estivale : les noyades. Entre le 1er juin et le 2 juillet 2025, 429 cas ont été recensés en France, dont 109 mortels. Sur la côte atlantique, notamment au Pays basque ou en Gironde, les baïnes, ces cuvettes d'eau entre plage et bancs de sable, représentent un danger fréquent et spécifique.L'été est aussi une opportunité pour une détox numérique. En moyenne, un Français consulte son téléphone 150 fois par jour. Se déconnecter favorise le sommeil, l'attention et la santé mentale. Aujourd'hui, les Français dorment en moyenne 6h42, soit 1h30 de moins qu'il y a 50 ans. Pour mieux dormir, privilégier la lecture en soirée, désactiver les notifications et éviter les grasses matinées sont essentiels. La sieste idéale, quant à elle, ne doit pas dépasser 20 minutes.Enfin, l'été invite à adopter une alimentation plus équilibrée : salades fraîches plutôt que produits ultra-transformés, accompagnées d'une activité physique régulière.Faïza Bossy, médecin et nutritionniste à Paris, livre ses conseils pour un été en bonne santé : protection solaire, prévention des noyades, détox numérique. est médecin généraliste à Paris, nutritionniste.

Le monde ne plongera pas dans l'obscurité ce 2 août 2025, contrairement à ce que prétendent certaines publications sur les réseaux sociaux. En réalité, l'éclipse solaire exceptionnelle annoncée se produira le 2 août 2027, et elle s'annonce comme l'une des plus longues du siècle. Pendant 6 minutes et 23 secondes, le Soleil sera totalement masqué par la Lune dans certaines régions d'Europe, d'Afrique du Nord et du Moyen-Orient. Il s'agira d'un alignement céleste rare, qui ne se reproduira pas avant un siècle. Pour mieux comprendre les raisons de cette durée inhabituelle, nous avons recueilli les explications de Bhasker Desai, de l'Astronomy Society Mauritius.
Salut c'est Ibby,Dans cet épisode, on parle de regard sur soi et de cette impression qu'on a parfois d'avoir « raté sa vie ». Si tu te sens en retard, si tu compares ton parcours à celui des autres, si tu doutes de ta valeur… cet épisode est pour toi.Je te partage des mots pour apaiser, mais aussi pour réaligner. Ta vie n'est pas finie, elle est en mouvement. Et non, tu n'as rien raté. Tu apprends. Tu avances. Tu construis. Même si tu ne coches pas toutes les cases, tu as déjà accompli bien plus que tu ne crois.Alors prends un moment pour toi, respire un peu, et laisse-moi te rappeler que le timing parfait, c'est le tien. Tu n'as rien à prouver. Et tu n'as pas à courir. Tu es déjà en train de réussir.N'hésite pas à lâcher un 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ et un petit commentaire
« L'Afrique entre pragmatisme et malaise démocratique » : c'est le titre choisi par Afrik.com. « Deux jours après l'annonce de la candidature d'Alassane Ouattara à un quatrième mandat présidentiel, nous dit le site d'information, l'Afrique peine à masquer son embarras. Entre soutiens de façade des institutions continentales et critiques feutrées des chancelleries, la décision du président ivoirien révèle les contradictions d'un continent tiraillé entre ambitions démocratiques et réflexes autoritaires ». Afrik.com évoque ainsi le « silence gêné des capitales », alors que « dans les couloirs de l'Union africaine à Addis-Abeba », « les diplomates africains expriment en privé leurs réserves ». « Le continent, qui s'efforce de promouvoir la bonne gouvernance et l'alternance démocratique, se retrouve une nouvelle fois confronté à ses propres contradictions », remarque encore Afrik.com, qui pointe également les mots d'ordre lancés sur les réseaux sociaux, comme « #OuattaraDégage » ou « #ConstitutionRespectée ». Ces mots-clé, nous dit-on, « témoignent d'une jeunesse africaine de plus en plus allergique aux dérives autoritaires, qu'elles viennent de militaires ou de civils ».

Le journal de Kinshasa a suivi l'audience de jeudi devant la Haute Cour militaire, une audience qu'il qualifie de « décisive », dans le procès intenté à l'ancien président pour « participation à un mouvement insurrectionnel et crimes contre la paix », entre autres. Cela alors que « trois parties civiles du Nord Kivu, du Sud Kivu et de l'Ituri, se sont constituées ». « Des preuves vidéo ont été dévoilées à l'audience », poursuit le Journal de Kinshasa, dont l'une montre Kibaya Bin Karubi, ex-conseiller de Joseph Kabila, déclarant que « les objectifs de la rébellion sont les mêmes que ceux du président Kabila ». Une autre vidéo montre Joseph Kabila lui-même affirmant « chacun doit jouer sa partition, je m'engage à faire la guerre ». « Le procès Joseph Kabila ne fait que commencer, souligne le Journal de Kinshasa. Mais les éléments versés au dossier pourraient peser lourd (…) Les Congolais suivent de près cette affaire, qui pourrait redéfinir les rapports entre justice, pouvoir, et responsabilité. » À lire aussiRDC: projection par la Haute Cour militaire des éléments à charge contre l'ex-président Joseph Kabila Au Mali, l'ancien premier ministre Moussa Mara de nouveau auditionné C'est à la Une de Malijet qui précise que l'ancien chef du gouvernement a été auditionné « par le Pôle national de lutte contre la cybercriminalité ». « Un long interrogatoire », au sujet « d'un message publié sur un réseau social, le 4 juillet dernier », dans lequel il déclarait notamment « vouloir se battre par tous les moyens ». Selon son avocat, « Moussa Mara a maintenu une ligne de défense invariable, répondant avec rigueur et calme aux diverses interrogations soulevées ». « Les enquêteurs auraient démontré civilité et compétence, ajoute Malijet. L'ancien chef du gouvernement a pu rentrer à son domicile en fin d'après-midi, sans qu'aucune accusation ne soit formulée à son égard ».

Text us your wine questions, craziest wine experiences, or if you just have a comment for us. . Clos du Soleil invited me to their annual vertical tasting in the fall of 2012 and I gladly attended this exclusive outdoor event. Listening back to it now, things seemed a little more innocent. Few people knew that any wines from BC could actually age and many wineries were on the hook to prove it. Clos du Soleil was one of the first wineries to really stick their neck out to prove that it could be done and this is the result. Disclaimer: I used to work for Clos du Soleil but a few years after this recording was made. Part of my job was organizing these vertical tastings, which I did in 2016 and 2017, when the vertical featured 10 full years of the Capella and Signature. That event, brilliantly catered by the late Natasha Schooten, is easily on the top of my top 5 list of the most amazing tasting experiences I have ever had and will never, ever forget.

We had so much to talk about with Sweet Megg, including her latest album “Never Been Home” and how it got its name. From starting as an opener on a ukelele to moving to France to study jazz music, to doing a Cirque de Soleil country music project, Sweet Megg has been a road warrior and storyteller! We had a great chat with her and learned so much about what makes Sweet Megg, well, Sweet Megg! Sweet Megg is a dynamic vocalist and songwriter originally from New York City, now based in Nashville. She began her career at just 16 as a songwriter and has worn many hats since: whitewater raft guide, DIY anti-folk artist, Parisian and New York jazz singer, honky-tonk angel, and circus ringleader.

Dans ce nouvel épisode, je tends mon micro à un homme qui, lui, tend son objectif. Amir Belkhir est un photographe marseillais qui documente les marges, capte l'essentiel et rend visible les invisibles. Son travail est un cri doux : “Regardez-nous comme on est ! » Amir je l'ai découvert par hasard sur Instagram et j'ai été saisie par la beauté de ses clichés ! J'y vois la jeunesse marseillaise, la fierté, la lumière crue et belle de cette ville. J'y vois un oeil précis, sensible et militant même. Marseille a besoin d'artistes comme lui, qui montrent sans trahir. Et nous, on a besoin d'écouter ceux qui voient mieux que nous parfois. Bonne écoute ! Hébergé par Ausha.

2028—The Year Democrats Finally Eat ThemselvesImagine watching a Cirque du Soleil act choreographed by drunk toddlers on roller skates—that's the Democrat Party prepping for 2028.With zero bench, sagging polls, and candidates with the charisma of DMV clerks, they're already melting down two elections early.It's not strategy. It's surrender in slow motion. And if you think they're flailing now, wait until you see what happens when Kamala Harris starts polling behind AOC in a state where cows outnumber liberals. It won't be pretty—but it'll be hilarious.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Episode Notes Zabato Bebe is the skating choreographer for the ice shows at Phantasialand in Germany, where he also contributes to casting and finding new talent for their shows. He previously skated with Cirque du Soleil and has developed a unique style that blends elements of hip hop, African dance, and breaking on the ice. I first encountered Zabato after he had a video go viral last year featuring pair tricks with Alejandro Soler Castro, forming one of the few male/male adagio pairs currently performing professionally. Zabato is also interested in technology and is researching the integration of AI into skating and the creative process at large, drawing on his degree from Johannes Kepler Universität Linz (JKU) in Austria. We had a wide-ranging conversation about creativity, entertainment, and pushing the boundaries of what figure skating can be.

Camille Lavabre est née à Marseille, et depuis, le monde est un peu plus drôle ! Elle est comédienne, stand-upeuse, passée par Canal + dans le rôle de Miss Météo décalée dans l'Info du vrai, elle est chroniqueuse sur France Inter chaque semaine dans la Bande Originale, et c'est comme ça que j'ai connue ! Inter présente cette séquence ainsi : « une chronique ancrée dans l'époque, saupoudrée d'humour absurde et de notes marseillaises » et je trouve ça très juste ! Perso j'ai eu un coup de coeur pour «moi j'oublie pas tout» sa reprise du titre de JUL, un morceau dédié aux parisiens qui ont longtemps snobé la marseillaise qu'elle était, quand Marseille n'était pas encore hype et j'avoue que parfois ce sont ses paroles qui me viennent sur ce son que j'adore ! Belle perf' ! Dans cet épisode Camille nous confie son attachement à cette ville dont elle est une merveilleuse ambassadrice, son parcours, son envie folle de brûler les planches dès l'adolescence, sa passion pour le jeu et pour sa ville !

In this candid conversation, digital artist Rik Oostenbroek pulls back the curtain on his remarkable 19-year creative journey.Rik's story begins in a small Dutch town where his teacher parents emphasized education and sports over artistic pursuits. His creative awakening came during his rebellious teenage years when a friend introduced him to DeviantArt, sparking a self-taught design education that would eventually lead to designing flyers for local events in exchange for free drinks. By age 17, he had landed his first major client—Volkswagen—after his portfolio unexpectedly gained over 100,000 views in a single day.The conversation takes fascinating turns as Rik shares his evolution from freelancer to art director for Cirque du Soleil in Montreal, ultimately returning to independence when he discovered corporate environments stifled his creativity. His philosophy of "always remember why you started" has guided him through the volatile Web3 landscape, where he found both supportive collectors and new possibilities for digital art. Rik's refreshing honesty about the challenges of maintaining artistic integrity while building commercial success offers valuable insights for creators at any stage.Looking ahead, Rik reveals details about his six-month collaboration on a generative art project, demonstrating his commitment to continuous learning and artistic growth. Whether discussing his dream of living in Japan or LA, his experience getting scammed in the early crypto days, or his obsession with risotto, Rik's authentic passion for creativity shines throughout this conversation.Ready to be inspired?

Sometimes a song deserves a simple, straightforward superlative: “gorgeous.” “Le Grand Soleil De Dieu (Psychemagik Remix),” is one of those songs. It's the work of Cameroonian pioneer Francis Bebey, taken from his posthumous album, Trésor Magnétique, and sprinkled with fairy dust… err, remixed by UK-based electronic duo Psychemagik. Dig it, man.
