June Haver: A Talented Hollywood Icon

June Haver was a renowned Hollywood actress, dancer, and singer who graced the silver screen during the Golden Age of Hollywood. She was born in Rock Island, Illinois, in 1926 and started her career in the entertainment industry as a teen model. June later landed her debut film role in 1943 in the musical comedy, "The Dolly Sisters."

June's grace, beauty, and charm quickly won over audiences, and she quickly rose to fame. She starred in numerous musicals, comedies, and dramas throughout the 1940s and 1950s, including "I Wonder Who's Kissing Her Now," "Look for the Silver Lining," and "Love Nest." Her performances captivated audiences, and she became one of the most popular actresses of her time.

Height: June stood at 5 feet 4 inches tall.
Figure: June had a petite frame and was known for her beautiful hourglass figure.
Net Worth: Her net worth was estimated to be around $2 million at the time of her passing in 2005.
Awards: June was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress in 1951 for her role in "The Daughter of Rosie O'Grady."
June was not only an incredibly talented actress but also a devoted wife and mother. She married actor Fred MacMurray in 1954, and the couple had two children together. June retired from acting in the 1950s to focus on her family, but she returned briefly in the 1970s to star in a few television shows and films. She passed away in 2005 at the age of 79 in Encino, California, leaving behind a legacy as one of Hollywood's brightest stars.

Africa Subsaharan
Russian instructors in the CAR negotiate the surrender of 3R militants
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[AFRINZ] General of the 3R rebel group
…for reasons that no doubt makes sense to the members, 3R in this case stands for Return, Reclamation, Rehabilitation. It was formed in late 2015 in the Ouham Pende region in Western CAR, claiming to protect the Muslim Puehl (aka Fulani) herders. 3R has a reputation for rape and looting in area village, but the little I found on the internet suggests they’re just Moslem lads enjoying the raiding life rather than the local branch of Boko Haram…
Gorgo Deborozie contacted Russian instructors in Central Africa and said he would like to surrender along with his subordinates under the guarantee of the Russians. This was reported on the Telegram channel of the Commonwealth of Officers for International Security (COIS).

Deborozie is ready to bring with him a large contingent of fighters who are resisting the army in the forests around Bokaranga. The general is the chief of staff of the 3R group and leads about 250 armed men. He lives with his family in Chad.
Chad is much safer than CAR. I’d have my family there, too, were I so stupidly vicious as to be an African jihadi.
"General Deborozie said that he would be very happy to negotiate the disarmament of his group with Russian specialists. He emphasized that he really wants peace and is interested in the 3R fighters being able to successfully integrate into peaceful life in the CAR," the CMAB post reads.

Earlier, the CAR national army, together with Russian instructors, captured two camps of the CPC rebel group.

Bangladesh
Inu remanded for seven days
[DHAKATRIBUNE] Jatiya Samajtantrik Dal (JaSoD) President and former minister Hasanul Haq Inu has been remanded for seven days in connection with the murder of businessman Abdul Wadud during the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement in the capital's New Market area.

Deputy Inspector Morad Khan of New Market cop shoppe brought Inu to court and requested a 10-day remand for a thorough investigation on Tuesday afternoon.

After the hearing, Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Ali Haider granted a seven-day remand.

Inu was arrested by the Detective Branch of Dhaka Metropolitan Police from a house in Uttara on Monday afternoon.

Businessman Abdul Wadud was rubbed out in front of Gate No. 1 of New Market at 5pm on July 19. A murder case was later filed on August 21 against 130 individuals, including former prime minister the loathesome Sheikh Hasina
...Bangla dynastic politician and now exiled former Prime Minister of Bangladesh. She was President of the Bangla Awami League since the Lower Paleolithic. She is the eldest of five children of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the founding father of Bangla. Her party defeated the BNP-led Four-Party Alliance in the 2008 parliamentary elections. She once before held the office, from 1996 to 2001, when she was defeated in a landslide. She and the head of the BNP, Khaleda Zia showed such blind animosity toward each other that they are known as the Battling Begums. That is probably because Khaleda's late husband was the Pak tool who had Mujib assassinated...
and former bridge minister Obaidul Quader.

The case was filed by Abdur Rahman, the nephew of the dear departed businessman, at New Market cop shoppe.

India-Pakistan
Local commander among 25 terrorists killed so far in Tirah IBOs since August 20: ISPR
[GEOTV] At least 25 terrorists, including a ring leader, were bumped off by security forces in multiple ongoing intelligence-based operations (IBOs) in Tirah valley of Khyber district since August 20, the military's media wing said on Tuesday.

According to Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the security forces are conducting ''extensive IBOs'' in Tirah valley against the Tehrik-e-Taliban
...the Pashtun equivalent of men...
Pakistain (TTP) labelled as Fitna-Al-Khwarij and bad boy outfits ''Laskar-e-Islam and Jamat-ul-Ahrar''.

These operations, it said, were based on robust intelligence and resulted into major setbacks to Fitna-Al-Khwarij and its affiliates.

During the intelligence-based operations being conducted since August 20, the security forces so far killed 25 terrorists, including a ring leader named Abuzar aka Saddam.

''However,
women are made to be loved, not understood...
four soldiers, having fought gallantly, paid the ultimate sacrifice and embraced martyrdom'', the ISPR added.

''The heavy losses inflicted upon Fitna-Al-Khwarij in these operations is testament to the valor and commitment of security forces to eliminate the menace of terrorism from the country,'' it concluded.

Iraq
Iraqi resistance launches drone attack on vital target in Haifa
What, again? I auppose it’s just as well they announce it — otherwise no one would notice.
[IRNA] According to al-Ahd news site, the Islamic resistance of Iraq announced that it attacked a vital target in Haifa.

In the statement of the Islamic Resistance® of Iraq, it is stated: In continuation of our approach to resist the occupying regime and support the people of Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
, as well as in response to the crimes committed by the usurping regime against Paleostinian civilians, including children, women and the elderly, the fighters of the Islamic Resistance® targeted a vital target with a drone in the occupied territories.
Targetting and hitting are two different things, guys. It really doesn't count if it will only hit with Allah’s help.

City in the wee hours of Tuesday, the Paleostinian Civil Defence said.
Did they actually say "wee hours"?
The organization said five bodies were recovered from the al-Taj building on Yarmouk Street that was destroyed by Israeli attack, Al Jazeera reported. Scores of people got injured in the attack on the residential building belonging to the al-Naasan family.
Big Hamas hotshots, are they?

Israel's evacuation orders leave more Palestinians homeless
[GEOTV] The Israeli army has issued 13 evacuation orders in August alone for different areas in the Gazoo

Strip, greatly reducing the size of the humanitarian zone it declared from the onset of the conflicts.
Lay down your weapons and turn in the jihadis — and the hostages taken on 10/7, both living and dead — and your problems will evaporate. Keep fighting and they’ll get worse. Your choice.
The threat of violence has compelled displaced Paleostinians into ever-tighter confines within the besieged enclave.

Thousands of Paleostinian civilians have been forced to abandon their homes following the latest evacuation order issued Sunday for Deir al-Balah in central Gaza Strip.

Syria-Lebanon-Iran
Rocket launched from Leb came from near UNIFIL position
[GEOTV] One of the rockets launched from Lebanon in the heavy exchange between armed group Hezbollah and the Israeli military on Sunday was fired from near a position operated by international peacekeepers, the United Nations force told Reuters on Tuesday.

The UN peacekeeping force for Lebanon, known as UNIFIL, said it had detected a "high number of air strikes and rocket launches in its area of operations" starting on Sunday morning.

"One such launch was detected from near one of our positions in Hanniyeh," UNIFIL spokesperson Kandice Ardiel said, referring to a town in southern Lebanon approximately 10 km (6 miles) north of the border with Israel.
Courtesy of Frank G, the Jerusalem Post adds:
The spokesperson said another explosion occurred later in the day near a UNIFIL position in Mays al-Jabal, along the border, but said there was no damage and no casualties.

"We continually stress to everyone that using areas near our positions to launch attacks across the Blue Line or targeting that puts peacekeepers in danger is unacceptable and a violation of Resolution 1701," the spokesperson said.

Israel conducts drone strike on northeastern Lebanon
[IRNA] In a marked escalation of the tit-for-tat engagement, Leb
...an Iranian satrapy currently ruled by Hassan Nasrallah situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else? It is the home of the original Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers...
's Hezbollah and Israel keep exchanging fire. News sources report about a new drone attack by the Zionist regime on the northeast of Lebanon.

Al-Mayadeen reported on the early Wednesday morning that an Israeli drone targeted a pickup truck with three missiles in Bakaa, located in the northeast of Lebanon.

More details have not been reported so far.

Earlier, the Lebanese resistance movement announced a drone attack on Zionist military positions in the northern occupied Paleostinian territory.

The group said it targeted the command headquarters of the Sahel Battalion and the Beit Hillel barracks of the Zionist soldiers with explosive drones in response to Israeli attacks on al-Majadal town in southern Lebanon.

Since the onset of Israel's genocidal war on Gazoo

, Hezbollah and the Zionist regime are engaged in exchange of fire almost on a daily basis.

Hezbollah largely targets military bases and equipment such as tanks, personnel carriers and armored vehicles as well as espionage installation of the Zionists. A large number of Zionist soldiers have been killed or injured in such operations over the past 10 months.
