  62. <p> <strong>Bill Skarsgård</strong> is rapidly proving his talents for starring in horror projects with a growing number of iconic horror roles. Skarsgård hails from a family of incredibly talented individuals who have become incredibly popular and well known in Hollywood. While his father, Stellan Skarsgård, currently stands as potentially the most recognizable actor within the family for his roles in <em>Thor</em>, <em>Dune</em>, <em>Mamma Mia</em>, and more, Bill has rapidly outpaced his siblings, Alexander and Gustaf. However, Bill is also establishing his career within a niche that the rest of his family have yet to break into; horror.</p>
  63. <p> From the age of 10, Bill has been appearing in TV and films in European productions, before breaking into American and English-speaking roles. However, his big break came when he landed the lead role of the terrifying Pennywise the Clown in 2017s <em>It</em>. From that moment, Skarsgård’s path into becoming a horror legend has been ongoing. Now, he is set to star in several more iconic horror remakes, with <em>The Crow</em> and <em>Nosferatu</em>, both of which he plays the titular lead in. However, Skarsgård has already amassed several other horror credits to his name, which are all worthy entries within the genre.</p>
  64. <h2 id="assassination-nation-2018"><span class="item-num">7 </span><span> Assassination Nation (2018) </span></h2>
  65. <p> In 2018, Skarsgård landed a small supporting role in <em>Assassination Nation</em>, following on from his major success in <em>It</em>. The film generally received positive reviews, although it didn’t gain widespread popularity. As an independent production, the release was pretty small, but it stands up as a solid satirical comedy horror film. The story follows a group of people from the town of Salem, who become targets in a series of cyberattacks that expose their secrets to the world.</p>
  66. <p> While some major figures in the town are initially attacked, and it leads to their tragic and shocking demise, the hacker soon turns on students like Lily, exposing their cheating and lewd behavior. Skarsgård plays Mark, Lily’s unwitting boyfriend who turns on her once the secrets of her disloyalty are revealed, and he further spreads the information, leading to her being disgraced and viciously attacked. Skarsgård does a great job despite his minor role, but this is also one of his smallest roles in a horror pic to date.</p>

  87. <p> <em>Villains</em> is a black comedy horror movie which stars Skarsgård as the leading man, Mickey. The film was first released at the 2019 South by Southwest festival before receiving a wider public release later in the same year. The film follows two young people who rob a gas station and set off to make a new life for themselves in another state. However, on the way, they run into car trouble, and approach an isolated home in order to seek help.</p>
  88. <p> Where the movie breaks off and becomes incredibly unique and exciting is the idea of pitting a group of criminals against another set of criminals, and playing into the silly and funny nature of the film. Mickey and his girlfriend rob a gas station at gunpoint, but when they uncover a couple’s dark secret, they are horrified and attempt to make things right. As a black comedy, the film then leans heavily into the ridiculous and comical moments of these characters fighting it out. Skarsgård does an incredible job playing a nuanced and layered character that proves he is more than just another villain.</p>

  95. <p> Also in 2019, Skarsgård returned to his breakout role, playing Pennywise on his second outing in <em>It: Chapter Two</em>. The films, which are based on the incredible novel by horror legend Stephen King, was broken up into two movies in order to capture the full scale of the story which plays out across multiple decades. Where the first film mostly explored the kids fighting the evil entity in Derry, the sequel jumped forward in time to see the children fully grown, returning to their childhood homes in order to confront the evil that they believed they had overcome as kids.</p>
  96. <p> The film is notably less powerful than the original, as it has the difficult job of tying up the loose ends and jumping between times to provide a satisfying and meaningful resolution to the story. While the first movie could focus on one aspect and refine the quality overall. However, Skarsgård stands out for his impeccable performance in both. His ability to transform and fully become a monster that could only exist in the imagination is incredible and brings justice to a character that felt impossible to adequately adapt to. From his voice to his facial expressions, Skarsgård excels as Pennywise.</p>

  117. <p> Earlier in his career, before fully breaking into Hollywood, Skarsgård had a leading role in the popular Netflix horror series, <em>Hemlock Grove</em>. The series explores the events which occur in a small community in Pennsylvania which appears to be shrouded in mystery and misfortune. Hemlock Grove is plagued with murders, monsters, and massive disparity. The town is also largely run by the wealthy Godfrey family, who appear to be involved in everything that happens there. Skarsgård plays the heir to the Godfrey empire and fortune, Roman, and he befriends a newcomer to the town by the name of Peter Rumancek.</p>
  118. <p> Together, Roman and Peter set out to uncover what is really going on in the town, whilst also trying to maintain their own dark secrets. While these characters are the heroic protagonists of the story, they each have a dark side, with Roman being an Upir, which is closely related to the more commonly known vampires, and Peter is a werewolf. Once again, Skarsgård proves his talents and his range in a role that required a lot of him, and he did a great job leading the series throughout it’s limited three-season run.</p>

  125. <p> <em>Barbarian</em> is a wild and intense horror thriller by writer and director Zach Cregger that initially played at the 2022 San Diego Comic Con before being released in theaters later that year. The film stars Skarsgård alongside Georgina Campbell and veteran horror star, Justin Long. The film is dark and intense, with a compelling story that engages viewers and keeps them guessing at what happens next until the very end.</p>
  126. <p> Skarsgård plays Keith, a man who books into a rental home, but soon finds himself joined by a woman who appears to have been sold the booking as well. The pair become comfortable with each other quickly and agree to share the accommodation, with Keith staying on the couch, but then things take a turn. This is one of the few roles where Skarsgård plays a genuinely good and innocent character, as opposed to the films where he is often a villain or anti-hero. However, Skarsgård’s versatility sees him play the role to perfection.</p>

  147. <p> Another horror television series that Skarsgård had a leading role in was <em>Castle Rock</em>, which aired between 2018 and 2019 on Hulu. Fittingly, the story is based on a combination of elements from the imagination of Stephen King, and it aired between Skarsgård appearing in the first and second <em>It</em> films. <em>Castle Rock</em> is an anthology style series, with the first and second seasons being mostly independent of one another, despite having some small crossovers and connections. The show is largely a psychological horror with mystery and thriller elements incorporated throughout.</p>
  148. <p> Skarsgård was actually present in both seasons, with a major role in season 1, and a minor return in the second and final seasons. He plays a mysterious and tragic character known as The Kid, who appears to wreak havoc and chaos wherever he goes. He spent decades trapped in a prison alone, with his previous security guard believing him to be the devil. The Kid is a pivotal figure in the show around which many of the mysteries revolve and Skarsgård does a fantastic job playing a conflicted and dangerous figure shrouded in mystery.</p>

  155. <p> Finally, Skarsgård’s best and most remarkable performance in a horror project to date remains the one that established him as a notable figure within that space. Playing Pennywise in the 2017 <em>It</em> movie, Skarsgård became an immediate sensation for his exceptional talent and the ability to become a monster, with the aid of some practical costuming and computer-generated horrors. Pennywise is one of the most terrifying creatures in modern horror, and Skarsgård embodies the role in a way that feels impossible to replicate. From the contortions of his facial expressions, to the creepy movements he utilizes in his performance, it’s equally terrifying and admirable.</p>
  156. <p> The first movie introduces and establishes the supernatural horror that plagues the city of Derry. An air of anger, hatred and violence that permeates the city and appears to poison the citizens towards horrific and cruel acts. And at the center of it all, there is one unknowable creature that embodies fear, shapeshifts to torment the community, and reveals a dark and monstrous side to the citizens. Pennywise is truly <strong>Bill Skarsgård’s</strong> most incredible performance to date, but with so many great titles on the horizon, he is sure to create more brilliant and terrifying characters in the near future.</p>

  384. <div>
  385. <div>A criminal ring involved in ripping off <a href="https://www.phonearena.com/apple" class="internal" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Apple</a> for $12.3 million has been busted leading to the arrests of five men who now face serious prison time. The men brought 16,000 counterfeit iPhone and iPad units to various Apple Store locations and the fake devices were so realistic looking that the Apple Store employees would exchange them for real iPhone and iPad units. </div>
  386. <p>The fake iPhone and iPad devices were non-functional and after they were exchanged by Apple Store employees for real iPhones and iPads, the genuine Apple products were shipped out of the country. United States Attorney Martin Estrada said, &#8220;The defendants are accused of taking advantage of Apple&#8217;s customer-service policies to steal more than $12 million in merchandise. Companies should not be victimized and defrauded for being responsive to customer needs, and these federal charges send a message that our office will take decisive action to uncover and prosecute those who perpetrate fraud.&#8221;</p>
  387. <p>The five men, all Chinese nationals, were taken into custody this past Thursday. Yang Song, Junwei Jiang, Zhengxuan Hu, Yushan Lin, and Shuyi Xing will face charges of aggravated identity theft, conspiracy to traffic in counterfeit goods, and conspiracy to commit wire fraud and mail fraud. The accused face 20 years in prison for each of the conspiracy to commit fraud charges, and up to two years in prison for identity theft. If found guilty of conspiracy to traffic counterfeit goods, the five could each end up facing 10 years in prison.</p>

  393. <p>The counterfeit iPhone and iPad units were exchanged at various southern California Apple Stores for genuine Apple products</p>
  394. </div>
  395. </div>
  396. <p>To make this plan work, the five conspired with other members of the ring located in China to have the non-working counterfeit iPhone and iPad units shipped to various locations in southern California. You&#8217;re probably wondering how this scam wasn&#8217;t caught by Apple Store employees. The fake devices had identification numbers matching real Apple products owned by U.S. consumers that are still under warranty.</p>
  397. <p>The defendants returned the fake devices to more than 10 Apple Stores in southern California including those in areas such as Beverly Hills, Northridge, and Rancho Cucamonga. On some days, the ring would visit more than 10 southern California Apple Stores in order to swap out the fake models for real ones.</p>

  427. <p></p>
  428. <p>In today’s fast-paced business environment, managing the ever-growing volume of emails can be a daunting task. As your business expands, so does the number of emails you receive, leading to potential inefficiencies and decreased productivity. To tackle this challenge, you can create a custom AI email assistant powered by ChatGPT and the no-code automation tool Make. This assistant is designed to efficiently manage and respond to emails, particularly for businesses dealing with repetitive inquiries. The video below from Better Creating shows us how we can create this AI-powered email assistant.</p>
  429. <div class="lyte-wrapper" style="width:640px;max-width:100%;margin:5px auto;">
  430. <div class="lyMe hidef" id="WYL_Rgarr2dyzAM"><noscript><img decoding="async" src="https://www.geeky-gadgets.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-youtube-lyte/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FRgarr2dyzAM%2F0.jpg" alt="" width="640" height="340"/></noscript></div>

  432. <h2>Understanding Email Overwhelm</h2>
  433. <ul>
  434. <li>Email overload is a common problem faced by businesses of all sizes</li>
  435. <li>As the volume of emails increases, it becomes difficult to manage them effectively</li>
  436. <li>Inefficient email management can lead to decreased productivity and missed opportunities</li>
  437. </ul>
  438. <h2>Building Your Custom AI Email Assistant</h2>
  439. <p>To address the issue of email overwhelm, you can develop a custom AI email assistant. This assistant, powered by ChatGPT, can classify and respond to emails automatically, streamlining your email management process. Here’s how you can build your own custom email assistant:</p>
  440. <h3>Step 1: Identify and Categorize Emails</h3>
  441. <p>The first step in creating your email assistant is to identify the types of emails you receive regularly. Categorize these emails based on their content and urgency. This step is essential for training the AI to understand and respond appropriately to different types of inquiries.</p>
  442. <h3>Step 2: Train ChatGPT</h3>
  443. <p>Once you have categorized your emails, it’s time to train ChatGPT. Feed the AI with various email samples from each category and teach it how to classify and respond to different types of inquiries. This training process is crucial for ensuring that your assistant can handle emails accurately and efficiently.</p>
  444. <h3>Step 3: Automate with Make</h3>
  445. <p>Make is a powerful no-code automation tool that simplifies the process of creating workflows. Use Make to automate the email management process by integrating it with ChatGPT and your email provider, such as Gmail. Make offers pre-built templates and workflows, making it easy to set up and use, even without any coding knowledge.</p>
  446. <h2>Planning Your Workflow</h2>
  447. <p>Before diving into the automation process, it’s essential to plan your workflow. Use a tool like FigJam to visualize the entire process, from email categorization to automated responses. This visualization helps ensure that every step is clear and well-organized, making the implementation process smoother.</p>
  448. <h2>Implementing the Automation in Make</h2>
  449. <p>Now that you have planned your workflow, it’s time to build the automation in Make. Follow these steps to set up your custom email assistant:</p>
  450. <h3>Step 1: Integrate Gmail with ChatGPT</h3>
  451. <p>Start by integrating your Gmail account with ChatGPT through Make. This integration allows the AI to access your emails and respond accordingly. Make provides a seamless way to connect these tools, making the integration process straightforward.</p>
  452. <h3>Step 2: Set Up Filters and Labels</h3>
  453. <p>In Gmail, set up filters and labels to categorize incoming emails automatically. These filters help the AI identify the type of email and respond appropriately. By organizing your emails into specific categories, you can ensure that your assistant handles each inquiry efficiently.</p>
  454. <h3>Step 3: Create and Link Modules</h3>
  455. <p>In Make, create modules that link Gmail with ChatGPT. These modules automate the process of reading, classifying, and responding to emails. By linking these tools, you can create a seamless workflow that handles your email management tasks automatically.</p>
  456. <h2>Designing Your Custom GPT Assistant</h2>

  635. <p> Benedict Cumberbatch’s new TV show, <em><strong>Eric</strong></em>, is officially streaming on Netflix — and<strong> the series flips his <em>Sherlock </em>role in an intriguing way</strong>. <em>Eric </em>is set in 1980s New York, and the Netflix series chronicles the disappearance of nine-year-old Edgar Anderson. Cumberbatch plays Eric’s father, Vincent Anderson, who has a tense relationship with his son when the series opens. Vincent is a puppet maker, and he’s haunted by one of Edgar’s designs after he disappears. Ultimately, <em>Eric</em>‘s titular puppet does help bring Edgar home. But much more happens before Edgar and his father reunite.</p>
  636. <p> Also headlining <em>Eric</em>‘s<em> </em>cast is McKinley Belcher III, who plays Detective Michael Ledroit, the man assigned to Edgar’s case. In terms of personality, Ledroit is far different from Vincent, and he also plays a major role in getting Edgar back to his family. With Ledroit working the cast, Netflix puts the perfect spin on Cumberbatch’s Sherlock Holmes role.</p>

  646. <p> Although Cumberbatch’s character searches for his son in <em>Eric, </em><strong>he’s no longer playing the clever detective role he takes on in Netflix’s </strong><em><strong>Sherlock</strong>. </em>In fact, Vincent’s efforts to find his son are sloppy by <em>Sherlock </em>standards. While he’s right about Edgar’s map and where it leads, it takes a long time for him to get there. He’s too busy trying to get his son’s puppet on TV, and he also spends much of the series inebriated. Even when he follows Eric’s map, he misses him. His character may have cockiness in common with Sherlock Holmes, but that’s where the similarities end.</p>

  654. <p> <strong>Ledroit is more like Sherlock in Netflix’s </strong><em><strong>Eric</strong>, </em>as he’s the one tasked with solving the mystery of Edgar’s disappearance. Believing it could be connected to a previous case, Ledroit becomes obsessed with determining what happened to Edgar and Marlon Rochelle. Despite interference, he eventually pieces both cases together, proving he’s an impressive detective. His sleuthing is far more on par with Sherlock’s than Vincent’s.</p>

  662. <p> <em>Eric </em>has a very different tone from Netflix’s <em>Sherlock, </em>but those who enjoy the mystery elements of the series — and Cumberbatch’s acting — will likely appreciate the other show. <strong><em>Sherlock </em>offers the opportunity to follow more intriguing cases </strong>and see the actor play a completely different type of character. It may not be up every <em>Eric </em>fan’s alley, but it’s worth giving it a shot. And the timing couldn’t be better. <em>Sherlock </em>has a new streaming home, with the series dropping on Hulu this March, years after its departure from Netflix. It’s the perfect chance to pick it up after watching <em><strong>Eric</strong></em>.</p>

  737. <p>When she was just 13 years old, Zukiswa Qezo was shot five times. </p>
  738. <p>‘They left me for dead,’ Zukiswa, now 51, tells Metro.co.uk. </p>
  739. <p><em>They</em>, she says, were soldiers and police. Their battlefield was a 1985 classroom and their enemy were unarmed and helpless children.</p>
  740. <p>The reason for the violent clash, was because Zukiswa, then a teen, and her fellow students had been protesting about the standard of education in her tiny <a data-track="inline-tag-auto-link_article" href="https://metro.co.uk/tag/school/?ico=auto_link_news_P4_LNK1" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">school</a> in Indwe, <a data-track="inline-tag-auto-link_article" href="https://metro.co.uk/tag/south-africa/?ico=auto_link_news_P4_LNK2" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">South Africa</a>, which had been segregated specifically for Black Africans during apartheid. </p>
  741. <p>‘They had sjamboks (a heavy leather whip), they shot us with bullets – not rubber bullets,’ she remembers. </p>
  742. <p>Pointing to the back of her head, Zukiswa has a scar from the first bullet that hit her. ‘Another was fired into my shoulder, one went to my stomach, one to my thigh and the fifth went to my leg.’ </p>
  743. <p>Zukiswa had to crawl for her life, before being treated at a faraway hospital the next day. </p>

  749. <p>637 miles away, teenager Phelisa Dlangamandla was living in similar circumstances. She was born in Gugulethu, a segregated black township in Cape Town, in 1971. </p>
  750. <p>‘We were very scared of white people,’ Phelisa, now 52, tells Metro.co.uk. ‘You didn’t know what they wanted to do to you.’ </p>
  751. <p>Although South Africans had been living with white domination since the start of Dutch colonialism in 1652, it was until 1948 that apartheid officially began and South Africans were split into four groups: Black, White, Coloured and Indian. A flood of legislation prevented the four groups from interacting with each other. </p>

  773. <p>There were areas designated for each group, which saw the Blacks, Coloureds and Indians forced to move to townships often made up of plastic shacks, while their children often attended missionary schools which didn’t provide a high standard of learning. </p>
  774. <p>Growing up as a non-white child under its shadow wasn’t easy, <a href="https://nadiakamieswriter.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">writer</a> Dr Nadia Kamies tells Metro.co.uk.</p>
  775. <p>‘Apartheid was very sophisticated. The whole idea was to divide people,’ she explains. </p>
  776. <p>Born in 1962, Nadia’s family was confined to a ‘coloured-only’ area in Cape Town. </p>

  782. <p>‘If you were white, you went to the best school. If you were coloured, then you had a lot less access and rights but you had a little bit more than if you were Indian or Black,’ she remembers.</p>
  783. <p>However, it was in 1990 that the tide slowly began to change. </p>
  784. <p>That year, Nelson Mandela was finally released from prison having served a 27-year sentence for sabotage after oposing the apartheid system, while 25 countries, including the UK, had placed extreme sanctions on South Africa. </p>
  785. <p>In 1991, apartheid legislation was finally repealed and a democratic election was held on April 21 1994. </p>
  786. <p>86.87% of the country went to the voting booths, for many, it was their first time and the African National Congress (ANC) was voted in, with Nelson Mandela inaugurated on May 10 1994 as South Africa’s first black president. </p>
  787. <p>Now, after 30 years of power, the ANC’s stronghold has crumbled. The party received just 40% of votes in this week’s general election and their reign has come to an end. Now, there are talks of coalitions and what comes next.</p>
  788. <p>Zukiswa remembers the excitement of helping bring the party to power in 1994. Then 22, she remembers: ‘We didn’t sleep because we were waiting to go and vote for the first time. I was so excited I woke up at midnight. There was already a long queue at 2am.’ </p>
  789. <p>Meanwhile, Nadia went with a white Afrikaaner friend. ‘It was extra special going to cast a vote with them. There was a lot of hope that day,’ she remembers. ‘We both had babies and thought they would grow up in a free country at last,’ she recalls. </p>

  795. <p>However, Mandela had inherited a country riddled with crime, unemployment, poor sanitation, dire education, and unequal water and electricity access. Some people lived in shacks and many communities were displaced.</p>
  796. <p>‘Our country is in a mess,’ the ANC’s 1994 manifesto declared at the time, and a lengthy reconstruction and development programme was created, declaring water, housing, sanitation and electricity a human right. </p>

  802. <p>And, three decades on there was no doubt a lot had changed.</p>
  803. <p>‘We can eat in restaurants, use flushing toilets and have electricity,’ Zukiswa explains, while Phelisa adds; ‘You can take your child to any school and they can go to any university.’  </p>
  804. <p>The death penalty has also been abolished and interracial relationships are no longer illegal.</p>
  805. <p>Yet, despite these progressions, Phelisa and Zukiswa were still forced to campaign for equality.</p>
  806. <p>Both are activists for <a href="https://unitebehind.org.za/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#UniteBehind</a>, a group formed in 2017 calling for a just and equal South Africa where everyone shares the country’s wealth. They would rather be spending their time with their grandkids, they say, but they refuse to sit idly by when true equality is yet to be achieved.</p>

  812. <p>Dr Kamies adds that one of the big issues is that it’s clear segregation very much still exists – just not legally. ‘Apartheid is definitely economic,’ she explains. ‘If you’re educated you are more likely to see that your child is educated.’</p>
  813. <p>In 2018, a report by the South African Human Rights Commission found that South Africa’s poor was comprised of 64% blacks, 41% coloureds, 6% Indians and 1% of whites. The discovery was later backed up in 2022, when South Africa was deemed the most unequal country in the world, according to <a href="https://www.worldbank.org/en/region/afr/publication/in-southern-africa-leveling-the-playing-field-at-birth-critical-to-reducing-inequality-intergenerational-poverty#:~:text=There%20is%2C%20however%2C%20heterogeneity%20across,countries%20except%20Lesotho%2C%20exceeded%2050." rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">The World Bank</a>. </p>
  814. <p>It highlighted a cruel Catch 22 scenario. To get out of poverty, the poor need to have money – which requires an education and training. However, due to the low standard of apartheid schooling and job limitations, most oppressed groups haven’t been highly educated, meaning that inequality in the quality of life of different groups still exists. </p>
  815. <p>‘We’re looked upon as people who belong to a certain area unless we have money,’ explains Phelisa.  ‘Even if you stay in an area with them, you’ll sometimes find that you’re not being accepted yet. If something wrong happens, you’re the first suspect because you’re black.’ </p>
  816. <p>28-year-old Adam Thomas-James is part of the first generation of South Africans not to know some sort of white domination in centuries. Even so, when he introduces himself, he calls himself coloured, despite apartheid ending two years before he was born.</p>
  817. <p>‘I know coloured is quite a negative term in the States but in South Africa, it’s more of identity,’ he tells Metro.co.uk. </p>

  823. <p>Adam went to a ‘posh’ private school and noticed how the schools tried to ‘correct’ people’s non-English accents.  </p>
  824. <p>‘You needed to pronounce things a certain way,’ he remembers. ‘I think a lot of people who did go to white institutions growing up are resentful that a part of their culture was taken away from them.’</p>
  825. <p>He has never known a government that legally restricts people from living in a certain area. Yet as an esports consultant working with schools, Adam still sees segregated communities and notes that just like apartheid, some are worse off than others. </p>

  831. <p>‘A coloured poor area has gangsterism. It has some poor service delivery (distribution of basic supplies such as water). A black poor community could at this point still be shacks. At least in the coloured community, there would be physical housing,’ he explains.</p>
  832. <p>‘If you lived in a black poor community in the 1980s or 60s and you still live there now, there hasn’t been a lot done to get out of there.’</p>
  833. <p>This is despite Mandela’s manifesto promising ‘a programme of affirmative action’. Also included in their pledge was access to clean water resources – another promise yet to be fulfilled.</p>

  848. <p>In 2017 Cape Town experienced the worst drought in more than a century. Residents were limited to <a href="https://time.com/cape-town-south-africa-water-crisis/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">13 gallons</a> (3.7 litres) a day and people across the country feared of Day Zero, a day when the taps would run dry.  </p>
  849. <p>Zukiswa visibly shudders when she remembers that time. Living in Khayelitsha, a slum designated for Blacks during apartheid, it still has a <a href="https://census2011.adrianfrith.com/place/199038" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">99.49% Black population</a>. She raised her children there alongside her husband in a shack.</p>

  855. <p>‘In the informal settlement, they don’t have any type of taps. They don’t have water trucks. We were struggling,’ she explains. </p>
  856. <p>‘If the water comes early in the morning, you must collect it in buckets. You put it in your house and use that water for five days. You must wash, cook – do everything with it. After you bathe, you put the water aside to flush the toilet.’ </p>

  862. <p>Meanwhile, loadshedding, where electricity is turned off across the country for two to four hours due to a lack of resources, is another issue yet to be addressed. </p>
  863. <p>‘People have lost their businesses. Children can’t study at night. Loadshedding comes with crime,’ Phelisa says. ‘It’s so dark outside and criminals know there won’t be any electricity for two hours. They can come inside your house and do whatever.’</p>
  864. <p>Many higher-income areas are reportedly not receiving the same harsh rolling blackouts as other lower-income areas, according to data firm <a href="https://www.intelligencefusion.co.uk/insights/resources/article/what-is-the-impact-of-load-shedding-in-south-africa/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Intelligence Fusion</a>.</p>

  876. <p>‘People were promised housing, education, sanitation and water, but it hasn’t been delivered’ Adam explains. ‘There’s a lot of upset. After 30 years, people’s patience has run out. Realistically, it isn’t a short amount of time, but we’re also looking at almost 400 years of racial, spatial and social issues.’ </p>
  877. <p>It’s a sentiment that Dr Kamies can relate to. ‘We seem to be no nearer to recognising each other as simply human,’ she says. </p>

  1239. <p> <span class="article-alert">Warning: Potential SPOILERS for Bridgerton season 3 part 2!</span></p>
  1240. <p> <strong><em>Bridgerton</em></strong> season 3 part 1 came and went almost too quickly, but not before dropping hints about what may occur once part 2 hits Netflix. The streaming service dropped the first four episodes of <em>Bridgerton </em>season 3 last month, providing a taste of another Bridgerton family member’s romantic pursuit in the ton of Regency London. After its first two seasons, following the love stories of Daphne and Anthony Bridgerton, <strong>the series finally touched on the family’s third-eldest sibling, Colin, and his highly anticipated romance with fan-favorite franchise character and Featherington bachelorette, Penelope</strong>.</p>
  1241. <p> <em>Bridgerton</em> season 3 part 1 proved their romance wouldn’t be a cakewalk, though, and the two grappled with societal pressures and potential suitors, among other things, before choosing each other. While self-proclaimed Polin fans luckily saw Colin and Penelope seal the deal by the end of <em>Bridgerton</em> season 3 part 1, <strong>the couple still have much to endure before their happily ever after</strong>, including the bitter agenda of a future adversary. Fortunately, in the wait for part 2, Julia Quinn’s<em> </em>novel series and a small clue from season 3 part 1 can provide great insight into what will happen next.</p>

  1251. <p> In the novel and TV series, Cressida Cowper (Jessica Madsen) is a seemingly cruel debutante, often taking her bitterness out on Penelope. Between snide remarks and instances of underhandedness, however, <em>Bridgerton </em>season 3 part 1 appeared to redeem Cressida’s worse qualities, with some characters and even viewers going so far as to come to Cressida’s defense. Yet, as Quinn’s novel series and a short season 3 part 1 foreshadowing indicates, <strong>Cressida may be beyond redemption, as she is in the works to blackmail Penelope in one of <em>Bridgerton’s </em>biggest villain stories to date</strong>.</p>
  1252. <p> According to Quinn’s novel <em>Romancing Mr. Bridgerton,</em> for which season 3 is adapted, Cressida will learn of Penelope’s secret identity as Lady Whistledown and use it as fuel for blackmail. <em>Bridgerton </em>season 3 subtly teases this big villain twist in episode 4 when Lord Debling calls on Penelope, and her sisters insist that she must have blackmailed him for his affection. It appears to be an insignificant dig, but the wisecrack could also foreshadow the considerable shift in Penelope’s season 3 part 2 story when <strong>Cressida’s blackmail plan endangers Penelope’s relationship with Colin and status in the ton</strong>.</p>

  1268. <p> Because <em>Bridgerton</em> season 3 follows <em>Romancing Mr. Bridgerton </em>quite closely, <strong>Cressida’s blackmail storyline should theoretically take place at some point in part 2</strong> if the series doesn’t divert from Quinn’s canon. Per <em>Romancing Mr. Bridgerton</em>, Cressida demands a large sum of money from Penelope in exchange for keeping quiet about Lady Whistledown’s identity. The vile plan then pushes Colin and Penelope’s relationship to the limit as they attempt to balance their feelings for one another with how to deal with Cressida’s threat.</p>
  1269. <p> Seeing as Cressida’s blackmail plan gives rise to a string of consequences, such as Colin discovering Lady Whistledown’s true identity, <strong>it’s likely that this storyline will occur rather early in <em>Bridgerton</em> season 3 part 2 and unravel throughout the course of it</strong>. <em>Bridgerton </em>has been setting up Cressida’s villain arc for a while now, particularly in that she’s never been the most agreeable character in the series. Come <strong><em>Bridgerton</em></strong> season 3 past 2, Cressida’s true colors could finally be revealed as Penelope and Colin’s last true hurdle before their happily ever after.</p>
