Wol Maiwen has come a long way since he was the big man at Edward Little High School, leading his team to a Class AA state title in 2018 and being a Maine Mr. Basketball finalist in 2019.
Maiwen went on to play a post-graduate year of basketball at North Hampton Prep before deciding to play at the University of Maine at Orono last season. After playing in just seven games and 67 total minutes, Maiwen entered into the transfer portal. He recently accepted a scholarship offer from Franklin Pierce University.

(Natural News) In the Truman Show film starring Jim Carrey, the lead character “Truman” realizes something is wrong with the world that has been presented to him as “reality.” He begins to see that
it’s all theater, and that he’s being lied to by everyone, including family, friends and the evening news. Each time he tries to mount an escape to go beyond the borders of his contrived prison, the producers of the show concoct a new scare story to keep him controlled in a state of fear.
In one instance, they fake a radiation leak to close a highway and block his travel. In another, they fake the death of his father to make him afraid of water so he won’t sail across the fake ocean and reach the horizon. When he faces his fear and tries to sail across the water anyway, they whip up storms, winds and lightning and nearly kill Truman to keep him afraid and controlled.

Asatar Bair, an assistant professor of economics at Riverside City College, is under fire this week for his praise of one of the most blood-soaked, tyrannical figures in history: Joseph Stalin. Bair is a self-described Marxist but most communists draw a line well clear of Stalin who was responsible for killing millions. As will come as little surprise to many on this blog, I strongly support Bair’s right to espouse his Stalinist views even though I find them utterly absurd and offensive.
In tweets, Bair expressed his support for Stalin as “a very successful revolutionary, a great contributor to Marxist theory” and “one of the great leaders of the 20th [Century].” He added Stalin was also a “great listener and collaborator during discussions.”
Later this year the company will host a free virtual summit called ‘Improving the experiences of disabled people in the housing sector’. Up to 500 people will meet in a bid to open the conversation up to the whole UK housing sector. Mike Adams, Chief Executive at Purple, said: “We need to change the disability conversation from one about vulnerable people, charity and welfare to one focused on choice, contribution and opportunity on all things disability. Purple is absolutely delighted to be working with Eastlight as housing is one of those central pillars for transforming permanent change for disabled people.” Purple’s vision is to be the catalyst for change in creating opportunities that transform futures by bringing together disabled people and business for a single purpose.
