World’s Oldest Man’ Celebrates His ‘123rd Birthday’ In Brazil

A Brazilian pensioner who claims to be the world’s oldest man has celebrated his 123rd birthday, with his family declaring he is still in good health.

Andrelino Vieira da Silva, who lives in the city of Aparecida de Goiania in the Brazilian state of Goias, was born on February 3, 1901, according to his ID card.

The pensioner, who was married and had seven children, five of whom are alive, celebrated his landmark birthday on Saturday, February 3.

One granddaughter, Janaina Lemes de Souza, told local media: ‘He’s fine, everything’s great.

‘It’s a great satisfaction for him to be with us for another year like this, everyone together.’

She added that people often recognise him in the street and ask him for a selfie, saying: ‘Some ask to take a photo and he does.’

Mr de Silva has not tried to verify his age with the Guinness World Records.

The official record is currently held by San Francisco-born Maria Branyas Morera, 115, who was handed the title following the death of French nun Sister André, 118, earlier this year.

Mr da Silva’s granddaughter anaina Lemes de Souza told local media in February last year: ‘He is still going strong’.

‘This year we are not going to do anything because some other people in the family are having some problems, so we are not in the mood for the party.’

Ms de Souza said the family own three houses on the same plot of land.

She lives in one with her husband and daughter; her mother, father, and brother live in another; and her grandfather lives alone in the third.

In 2022, Ms de Souza marked the occasion during an intimate gathering with family as they all recovered from Covid-19.

He also marked his ‘121st’ with a cake topped with a sign saying: ‘O terror do INSS’ (The terror of the INSS).

The message was a joke about his decades-long claim on his old age pension from the INSS, or National Institute of Social Security.

In response, the pension service sent Andrelino a special plaque saying: ‘You are not the terror of the INSS. You are a blessing to the INSS.’

And they signed it off: ‘We wish Mr Andrelino many more years of life.’

The body, which was set up in 1978 to replace the former National Institute of Social Insurance (INP), is also responsible for collecting contributions for the country’s social security system.

Mr de Silva saw two world wars, communist revolutions and then their collapse in China and Russia, the Beatles, Princess Diana, and the assassination of JFK.

The oldest certified living person in the world is María Branyas Morera, from California, who celebrated her 115th birthday in March 2022.

Ms Branyas Morera was born on March 4, 1907, and currently resides in a nursing home in Catalonia.

She was recognised as the world’s oldest living person by the Guinness World Records on January 07, 2023.

She attributed her longevity to ‘an orderly life that is socially very pleasant… a good life, without excesses’.

Stalker Stabs Lady To Death In Bed After She Posted Her New Boyfriend Online

Celeste Manno went Instagram official with her boyfriend. Hours later, her obsessed work stalker Luay Sako murdered her. Now his ‘red flag’ texts can be revealed – and the kind way she tried to stop him

An obsessed stalker stabbed a girl to death in her own bed hours after she went “Instagram official” with her new boyfriend.

Deranged stalker Luay Sako, 37, broke into Celeste Manno’s bedroom and stabbed her to death after he became enraged by seeing her hand-in-hand with her new boyfriend on social media, reports say.

Sako had bombarded Celeste, 23, with endless messages professing his love for her over the year before he ended her life. He sent her creepy, lewd and menacing messages via Instagram through various accounts.

When his terrified victim told Sako to stop messaging her, Sako became enraged. He wrote to her: “I really just wanted to speak with you and I honestly thought you were ignoring me. My impression of you has changed. You’re no different to the majority of women.”

Just hours after the young woman posted this picture with her new boyfriend on Instagram, Sako smashed his way into her bedroom with a hammer and stabbed Celeste 23 times with a kitchen knife.

The cause of death was a stab wound to the heart after Sako plunged the blade into Celeste’s chest. The girl also suffered defensive wounds on her forearms and arms as she tried to protect herself.

Police found a phone registered to Sako that shows he was actively monitoring Celeste via Instagram, and had a screenshot of the photo of Celeste and her boyfriend.

After Sako stabbed Celeste to death in a wild frenzy, he drove to the police station and told cops where they could find the girl’s body.

Pictured: Celeste Manno posed for these social media photos in her bedroom, where Luay Sako broke in and stabbed her to death in her own bed. Sako appeared in court today.

I Will Leave Liverpool At The End Of This Season – Klopp

I Will Leave Liverpool At The End Of This Season – Klopp

Jürgen Klopp has announced his decision to step down as Liverpool manager at the end of the current season, having informed the club’s ownership of his wish to leave his position when the 2023-24 campaign comes to a close.After guiding the Reds to another Wembley final on Wednesday night, the 56-year-old will continue to oversee the team’s remaining fixtures of 2023-24 before bringing the curtain down on a glorious eight-and-a-half-year managerial reign at Anfield, which has seen the club win six major trophies under his guidance to date.Assistant managers Pepijn Lijnders and Peter Krawietz, as well as elite development coach Vitor Matos, will also vacate their positions at the end of the season, with Lijnders keen to pursue his own career in management.

Confirming his decision to Liverpoolfc.com, Klopp outlined the reasons behind it and the timing of today’s announcement, placing particular emphasis on the need for clarity at the earliest opportunity in order to create the conditions for an orderly transition to take place in due course.He said: “I can understand that it’s a shock for a lot of people in this moment, when you hear it for the first time, but obviously I can explain it – or at least try to explain it.“I love absolutely everything about this club, I love everything about the city, I love everything about our supporters, I love the team, I love the staff. I love everything. But that I still take this decision shows you that I am convinced it is the one I have to take.“It is that I am, how can I say it, running out of energy. I have no problem now, obviously, I knew it already for longer that I will have to announce it at one point, but I am absolutely fine now. I know that I cannot do the job again and again and again and again.“After the years we had together and after all the time we spent together and after all the things we went through together, the respect grew for you, the love grew for you and the least I owe you is the truth – and that is the truth.”Klopp was appointed as Liverpool manager on October 8, 2015. It was a decision that would revolutionise the club and establish it as a force at home and abroad once more.Under his stewardship, Liverpool have lifted the UEFA Champions League, Premier League, FIFA Club World Cup, FA Cup, League Cup and UEFA Super Cup, as well as the FA Community Shield.Klopp added: “I told the club already in November. I have to explain a little bit that maybe the job I do people see from the outside, I’m on the touchline and in training sessions and stuff like this, but the majority of all the things happen around these kind of things. That means a season starts and you plan pretty much the next season already.“When we sat there together talking about potential signings, the next summer camp and can we go wherever, the thought came up, ‘I am not sure I am here then anymore’ and I was surprised myself by that.

I obviously start thinking about it.“It didn’t start [then], but of course last season was kind of a super-difficult season and there were moments when at other clubs probably the decision would have been, ‘Come on, thank you very much for everything but probably we should split here, or end it here.’ That didn’t happen here, obviously.“For me it was super, super, super-important that I can help to bring this team back onto the rails. It was all I was thinking about. When I realised pretty early that happened, it’s a really good team with massive potential and a super age group, super characters and all that, then I could start thinking about myself again and that was the outcome. It is not what I want to [do], it is just what I think is 100 per cent right.”With five months still left to play of the current campaign, the Reds remain involved in four competitions – and while there are still trophies left to chase, Klopp will ensure any goodbyes are put firmly on hold until his final game in charge of Liverpool Football Club in May.He said: “We will have a moment, maybe the last matchday here or somewhere else – I mean in other countries or other competitions. There’s enough time to do these kinds of things. Let’s now really go for it. The outside world want to use this decision, laugh about it, want to disturb us.“We are Liverpool, we went through harder things together. And you went through harder things before me. Let’s make a strength of it. That would be really cool. Let’s squeeze everything out of this season and have another thing to smile about when we look back in the future.”Responding to the news, Fenway Sports Group president Mike Gordon underlined the collective determination for a “business as usual” approach until the conclusion of Klopp’s tenure while also highlighting the scale of his ongoing impact upon Liverpool.

Chelsea Reportedly Contact Napoli For Victor Osimhen

Premier League side, Chelsea, have reportedly contacted Napoli over a potential summer move for Super Eagles striker, Victor Osimhen.

The Nigeria international has been linked with several clubs in Europe following his impressive performance that saw him guide Napoli to their first Serie A league title in 33 years.

The 25-year-old scored 31 goals and assisted five in 39 games across all competitions with 26 of them scored in the league.

According to UK publication, GIVEMESPORT, the Blues have now opened talks for the Nigerian as they desperately need to strengthen their attack.

GIVEMESPORT stated, “Chelsea ‘conversations have happened’ over tempting Napoli star Victor Osimhen to Stamford Bridge, but transfer insider Dean Jones has told GIVEMESPORT that boss Mauricio Pochettino has also initiated contact involving another striker as he aims to improve his attacking options.

“Pochettino, who parted with more than £400million as he aimed to bolster his squad ahead of the previous window slamming shut, is running out of time to draft in reinforcements as the February 1 deadline is fast approaching.

“Chelsea have raced ahead of Arsenal in the hunt for Osimhen’s signature, according to TEAMtalk, but they are still facing stiff competition from reigning Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain as they aim to wrap up an eye-catching deal.”

Kanye West Shares More Revealing Photos Of His Wife Bianca Censori

Kanye West Shares More Revealing Photos Of His Wife Bianca Censori

Kanye West has gone on Instagram to share more revealing photos of his wife Bianca Censori.

The rapper showed his wife in a string lingerie that left little to the imagination.

In the caption of one photo, he wrote: “Cream of wheat.”

Before marrying Kanye, Bianca used to wear clothes that were not revealing. However, since marrying Kanye, she has been exposing her body in revealing clothes while stepping out with her husband.

This comes as a surprise to many of Kanye’s fans because, towards the end of his marriage to Kim Kardashian, Kanye began complaining about Kim’s revealing clothes and nude snaps.

At the time, Kanye said Kim’s revealing clothes were “affecting my soul and spirit,” and he’s no longer comfortable with it.

Back in 2019, Kanye was filmed complaining about Kim’s iconic wet-look Mugler dress which she wore to the Met Gala that year.

Though the dress was not so revealing, Kanye, who seemed to be reformed and had started a weekly religious performance tagged Sunday Service, told Kim he no longer felt comfortable with her wearing the dress to the Met Gala.

He told her this on the night before the Met Gala.

He also said that encouraging her to “show off her body” throughout their marriage was now affecting his “spirit.”

“The corset, underwear, all of that vibe, I just feel like I went through this transition from being a rapper, looking at all these girls, and then looking at my wife like, ‘Oh, my girl needs to be just like these other girls, showing her body off, showing this, showing that,’” he told Kim, just hours before she was set to wear the dress on the red carpet.

He continued: “I didn’t realize that that was affecting my soul and my spirit as someone that’s married and loved, the father of what’s about to be four kids. A corset is a form of underwear. It’s hot. It’s like, it’s hot for who though?”
Kim hit back at her then-husband, reminding him that he was the one who had encouraged her to publicly embrace her sexuality in the first place.

“You built me up to be this sexy person and have confidence and all this stuff, and just because you’re on your journey and you’re on a transformation, doesn’t mean that I’m in the same spot with you,” Kim said.

“You are my wife, and it affects me when pictures are too sexy,” Kanye hit back at Kim and stormed out of the room.

Kim still ended up wearing the dress.

Years after, Kanye is sharing revealing photos of his current wife.

Uk Declares ‘National Incident’ Over Measles Outbreak

0

The U.K. Health Security Agency (UKHSA) has declared a national incident over a surge in measles cases across the country.

In a statement, its chief executive Jenny Harries said that “immediate action” is needed to boost the uptake of the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine in areas where the numbers of people getting the vaccine is low.

“We need a long-term concerted effort to protect individuals and to prevent large measles outbreaks,” she said.

Measles is a highly contagious disease. In mild cases, symptoms include a rash, high fever and ear infections. But it can also be “a very unpleasant illness,” the UKHSA said, leading to hospitalization and death in rare cases. Babies, young children, pregnant women, and those with a weakened immune system are most at risk.

As of 18 January, there have been 216 confirmed cases and 103 probable cases in the West Midlands since 1 October 2023. Around 80% of cases have been seen in Birmingham, with about 10% in Coventry, the majority being in children aged under 10 years.

With vaccine uptake in some communities so low, there is now a “very real risk” of seeing the virus spread in other towns and cities, Harries said.

Latest figures from the UKHSA show that the uptake of the MMR vaccine is at its lowest level in more than a decade, with 84.5 percent of children having had two doses by the time they were five years old in 2022-23.

Betting and Sports Integrity: Fighting Match Fixing

0

Sports have always been a source of excitement, passion, and entertainment for millions of fans worldwide. Whether it’s a high-stakes championship match or a friendly game between friends, the thrill of competition and the unpredictability of the outcome are what make sports so captivating. However, with the rise of sports betting, there has been a growing concern about match-fixing and its impact on the integrity of sports. In this article, we will delve into the issue of match-fixing and explore the measures taken to combat this threat to sports integrity. Additionally, we will take a closer look at the process of 1xBet login and registration, ensuring that enthusiasts engage in responsible betting while supporting the integrity of the sports they love.

The Rise of Sports Betting

Sports betting is a global industry worth billions of dollars. With the proliferation of online betting platforms, it has become easier than ever for fans to wager on their favorite teams and athletes. While sports betting can add excitement to the viewing experience, it also presents certain risks, one of which is the temptation for individuals or groups to manipulate the outcome of games for personal gain.

Understanding Match Fixing

Match fixing is the deliberate manipulation of the outcome of a sporting event to secure a predetermined result. This can involve players, coaches, referees, or other stakeholders conspiring to influence the game in favor of one side. Match fixing can take various forms, including:

  • Spot Fixing: Involves manipulating specific aspects of the game, such as the timing of a particular event (e.g., when a specific bowler will deliver a no-ball in cricket) to facilitate betting.
  • Result Fixing: Aims to control the overall outcome of the game, ensuring that one team wins or loses as desired.
  • Point Shaving: Common in team sports like basketball, it involves players intentionally reducing their team’s winning margin to ensure that bets on the underdog are successful.

The Threat to Sports Integrity

Match fixing poses a severe threat to the integrity of sports. When fans start doubting the authenticity of the games they love, it can erode trust and enthusiasm. The consequences are far-reaching and can include:

  • Damage to Reputation: Sports leagues, teams, and athletes can suffer reputational damage when match-fixing scandals emerge.
  • Financial Impact: Sponsors and advertisers may distance themselves from tainted sports, leading to financial losses for the sport’s stakeholders.
  • Erosion of Fan Confidence: Fans may lose faith in the fairness of sports, leading to declining attendance and viewership.
  • Legal Consequences: Match fixing is illegal in many jurisdictions, leading to legal repercussions for those involved.

Combating Match Fixing

Efforts to combat match fixing and protect sports integrity are ongoing and involve a combination of strategies:

  • Regulation and Oversight: Sports governing bodies and regulatory authorities implement strict rules and regulations to detect and prevent match fixing. This includes monitoring betting patterns for suspicious activity.
  • Education: Athletes, coaches, and officials are educated about the dangers of match fixing and the importance of reporting any suspicious activity.
  • Whistleblower Programs: Many organizations offer confidential reporting mechanisms for individuals to come forward with information about match fixing.
  • Technological Solutions: Advanced technology, including data analytics and machine learning, is employed to identify unusual betting patterns and potential match-fixing incidents.
  • Collaboration: International cooperation between sports organizations, law enforcement agencies, and betting operators is essential to combat match fixing effectively.

Coleen Rooney Becomes ‘family Breadwinner’ As Husband Wayne Rooney Is Sacked As Birmingham Manager

Coleen Rooney Becomes ‘family Breadwinner’ As Husband Wayne Rooney Is Sacked As Birmingham Manager

Coleen Rooney is set to become the main ‘family breadwinner’ after her husband Wayne was sacked as Birmingham manager, Daily Mail reports.

The mother-of-four, 37, was sued by Rebekah Vardy for libel but went on to win the case, with a judge ruling in her favour.

She then banked £800,000 from rival Rebekah in November 2022 and is now expected to start exploring new opportunities following the success of her Wagatha Christie TV documentary.

A source told The Sun: ‘Coleen and Wayne were in no rush for the Wagatha Christie money but now Wayne has lost his job it will come in handy.

‘Coleen received the payment from Becky after she gave her an extension to give her more time to get the cash together. Coleen is the breadwinner at the moment and the Wagatha cash will certainly tide them over for a while.’

Coleen, who is the author of several books, also explained in a recent interview: ‘The kids have always been my priority, they always will be, but I’d like to see what’s out there for me.

‘First, we’ll get through Christmas, that’s a big family affair – everything I do is a family affair. Then I’ll sit down with my management and map out what’s next. But I’m going to wait. I like to take my time; I like to organize and be prepared.’

Wayne was sacked as Birmingham manager, the club confirmed on Tuesday morning.

Birmingham had the worst record in the Championship after Rooney replaced John Eustace in October. They took 10 points from a possible 45, losing nine and winning just two.

The former England captain is thought to have been on much less than the £1.5million per year salary that was initially suggested and departed the club along with coach Carl Robinson.

Coleen is expected to start exploring new opportunities following the success of her Wagatha Christie TV documentary.

Coleen Rooney: The Real Wagatha Story dropped on Disney+ in October, offering an inside tale into what exactly happened between warring WAGs Coleen and Rebekah Vardy.

One source said there was ‘no visible sign of a criminal death on the [politician’s] body’. Pathologists are to examine the cause of death.

His corpse was found in the yard of his house, according to reports.

According to the 72 news outlet, Egorov may have suffered from heart problems.

‘One of the most likely reasons is heart problems,’ a source told the publication.

Heart issues are frequently given as the explanation for multiple untimely or suspicious deaths among prominent people in Russia since the start of the war against Ukraine.

The report said: ‘In the near future pathologists will conduct an autopsy to establish the true cause of Egorov’s death.’

News outlet Baza reported: ‘Police are now investigating what exactly caused his fall.’

A trained lawyer with business interests, he had earlier been forced to leave the city administration in 2016 after a corruption scandal for which he was ultimately not convicted.

He returned to politics and was the wealthiest local deputy in his town, Tobolsk.

He leaves behind a wife and two children.

He is not the only high-ranking figure in Russia whose death from falling out of a window has aroused suspicions since the start of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

In June, the glamorous vice-president of a Russian bank reportedly plunged to her death after falling from the window of her Moscow apartment.

Kristina Baikova, 28, an executive at Loko-Bank, allegedly fell from her 11th-floor apartment on Khodynsky Boulevard in the early hours. She died instantly at the scene.

In February, a top Russian defence official was found dead after plunging 160ft from a tower block window.

Marina Yankina, 58, was discovered by a passerby at the entrance of a house on Zamshina Street in St Petersburg.

She is believed to have fallen from the 16th floor to her death.

In the dynamic world of entertainment betting, where the thrill of prediction meets the glitz and glamour of the entertainment industry, the 22Bet App has emerged as a go-to platform for enthusiasts looking to add an extra layer of excitement to their favorite shows and awards ceremonies.. Betting on entertainment events such as awards shows and TV series outcomes has become increasingly popular, giving fans a chance to not only enjoy their favorite shows but also potentially profit from their predictions. In this article, we’ll explore the fascinating world of entertainment betting, examining how odds are calculated, and sharing some insights into popular events like awards ceremonies and TV show outcomes.

The Rise of Entertainment Betting

Entertainment betting has seen a remarkable rise in recent years, thanks in part to the growing accessibility of online sportsbooks and betting platforms. While traditional sports events have long been the primary focus of sportsbooks, the entertainment industry has carved out a niche for itself, offering a variety of betting opportunities for enthusiasts.

One of the most significant drivers of this trend is the increasing popularity of awards shows like the Oscars, Emmys, and Grammys. These events, which honor excellence in the film, television, and music industries, have become not only celebrations of talent but also platforms for fans and bettors to make predictions on who will take home the coveted trophies.

How Odds Are Calculated

Betting odds for entertainment events are calculated by bookmakers and betting platforms, just like they are for sports events. The process involves analyzing various factors, including historical data, industry trends, expert opinions, and public sentiment. Here’s a closer look at how odds are typically calculated for entertainment events:

1. Historical Data: Bookmakers consider past award winners, previous nominees, and the performance of actors, directors, and artists to determine who might have an edge in the upcoming event.

2. Expert Opinions: Industry experts and entertainment analysts play a crucial role in providing insights and predictions. Their views influence the odds offered by bookmakers.

3. Public Sentiment: Social media and public opinion can have a significant impact on odds. Popular favorites among the public are often favored by bookmakers, as they anticipate higher betting activity on these choices.

4. Industry Trends: Changes in the entertainment industry, such as emerging talent or new trends, are taken into account when setting odds.

5. Market Forces: Betting platforms adjust odds based on the volume and direction of bets placed by the public. This helps balance their books and manage potential losses.

Awards Show Betting

Awards shows, like the Oscars and the Golden Globes, are prime opportunities for entertainment betting. These events feature numerous categories, including Best Actor, Best Director, and Best Picture, among others. Betting enthusiasts can place wagers on their favorite nominees or try to predict the outcomes based on the factors mentioned earlier.

Popular Categories for Betting

  • Best Picture: This category is often the highlight of awards shows. Bettors try to predict the winning film based on its critical acclaim, box office performance, and other relevant factors.
  • Best Actor/Actress: These categories are closely watched, with odds shifting based on performance in the lead-up to the event.
  • Best Director: Predicting the Best Director winner can be influenced by the success of the film and the director’s track record.
  • Best Original Song: Music enthusiasts often wager on the song that they believe will take home the award for Best Original Song.

Betting on TV Shows

In addition to awards shows, TV series outcomes have also become a popular betting option. Viewers can bet on events like reality TV show winners or plot developments in scripted series. The availability of streaming platforms has expanded the range of shows available for betting, making it an exciting option for fans.

Reality TV Betting

Reality TV shows like “Survivor,” “The Bachelor,” and “Dancing with the Stars” have dedicated fan bases that eagerly place bets on the outcomes of these competitions. Viewers predict which contestant will emerge victorious or who will be the next to be eliminated.

Scripted Series Betting

Scripted TV series betting often involves predicting plot twists, character developments, or major events in popular shows like “Game of Thrones,” “Breaking Bad,” or “The Walking Dead.” Fans can speculate on the fate of their favorite characters or whether long-standing mysteries will be resolved.

Responsible Betting

While entertainment betting can add excitement to watching your favorite shows and awards ceremonies, it’s essential to approach it responsibly. Betting should be seen as a form of entertainment in itself, and it’s important to set limits, manage your bankroll, and avoid chasing losses.

In conclusion, betting on entertainment events has emerged as a thrilling extension of the entertainment industry. Awards shows and TV series outcomes offer fans a chance to engage with their favorite shows and artists in a unique way. By understanding how odds are calculated and practicing responsible betting, enthusiasts can enjoy this exciting aspect of entertainment to the fullest. So, the next time you’re watching your favorite show or eagerly awaiting an awards ceremony, consider placing a bet and adding an extra layer of excitement to the experience.

 

Tesla Robot Attacks An Engineer At The Company’s Texas Factory During Violent Malfunction

Tesla Robot Attacks An Engineer At The Company’s Texas Factory During Violent Malfunction

A Tesla engineer was attacked by a robot during a malfunction at the Giga Texas factory near Austin.

Two other employees reportedly witnessed the horror attack as their fellow worker was attacked by the machine designed to grab and move freshly cast aluminum car parts.

According to Mail Online, the robot had pinned the man, who was programming software for two disabled Tesla robots nearby, before sinking its metal claws into the worker’s back and arm, leaving a ‘trail of blood’ along the factory surface.

The incident – which left the victim with an ‘open wound’ on his left hand – was revealed in a 2021 injury report filed to Travis County and federal regulators, which has been reviewed by DailyMail.

The incident comes amid years of heightened concerns over the risks of automated robots in the workplace.

Reports of increased injuries due to robotic coworkers at Amazon shipment centers, killer droid-surgeons, self-driving cars, and even violence from robotic chess instructors, have led some to question the integration of the new tech.

The injury report, which Tesla must submit to authorities by law to maintain its lucrative tax breaks in Texas, claimed the engineer did not require time off of work.

But one attorney who represents Tesla’s Giga Texas contract workers has told DailyMail.com she believes, based on her conversations with workers there, that the number of injuries suffered at the factory is going underreported.

This underreporting, the attorney said, even included the September 28, 2021 death of a construction worker, who had been contracted to help build the factory itself.

‘My advice would be to read that report with a grain of salt,’ the attorney, Hannah Alexander of the nonprofit Workers Defense Project, told DailyMail.

‘We’ve had multiple workers who were injured,’ Alexander said, ‘and one worker who died, whose injuries or death are not in these reports that Tesla is supposed to be accurately completing and submitting to the county in order to get tax incentives.’

That construction worker, a contractor named Antelmo Ramírez, died of heat stroke while helping build Tesla’s over 2,000-acre long Giga Texas factory, according to a report from the Travis County medical examiner.

Last year, the Workers Defense Project filed a complaint on behalf of workers at Giga Texas with the US Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), alleging Tesla’s contractors and subcontractors gave some hires false safety certificates.

‘Workers report that when they needed training, they were simply sent PDF files or images of certificates through text or WhatsApp in a matter of days,’ Alexander told local NBC affiliate KXAN. ‘There’s no conceivable way workers could have even taken the training required.’

The game has visuals inspired by Joel Thomas Zimmerman’s on-stage persona, Deadmau5, and he also composed the background music. The game is great to play with your headphones on – if you are a fan of Deadmau5’s style.

All three games feature not just the music of the bands – several of their most successful tracks – but the visuals are also inspired by some of the artists’ most successful live performances. 

The “Jimi Hendrix” slot machine is an exception: it is built with visuals inspired not by the artist himself but by what he represents, the hippie movement of his time, with psychedelic motifs and “Peace” signs. 

All three slots have amazing atmospheres, putting you in the mood to listen to more of the artists’ work. 

Music slots by Play’n GO

The studio has released a few random music-inspired games, covering everything from Showgirls to N’Sync, but their best work is the games inspired by rock bands. We guess these games were built by a dev team with a very specific taste in music. 

The list of rock music slots released by Play’n GO over the years shows impeccable taste in classic rock:
