Amy Winehouse Ghost Visits Her Family, Father Says

Over six years after the death of British singer Amy Winehouse, her father claims that the artist's ghost often returns in the form of a ghost or as a bird like the one Winehouse had tattooed on her arm. Mitch Winehouse said in an interview with The Sun that his daughter's spirit visits her family's home in Kent.
"Her spirit comes and sits on the end of my bed. She just sits there and it looks just like her with her beautiful face and she looks at me. I say to her, 'Are you all right?' because I get ­nervous with her being there," Mitch Winehouse said during The Sun interview. "But it is comforting in a way to know she is here and around me." The soulful singer died in July, 2011 from alcohol poisoning. Her father, a London cab driver, began the Amy Winehouse Foundation on September 14, 2011 to support those struggling with drug and alcohol abuse in his daughter's memory.
Winehouse said that his daughter's spirit visits most often around her birthday, September 14, and that soon after she died, the singer began to visit her parents in the form of a blackbird.
"The week after she died I was at my ­sister’s house and we heard this thud and a blackbird that looked identical to Amy’s tattoo flew into the glass...We went and picked it up and put it up on a perch. It happened at night, when birds don’t fly, but it came back and sat on my foot," her father said during the interview, adding that he was sure that the bird was indeed Amy Winehouse. The singer had a tattoo of a bird on her right arm with music notes that read "Never Clip My Wings."
During her life, Amy Winehouse shared her addiction with the public in songs like Rehab and Back to Black. After her death, sales of the singer's music surged.
"Amy," a documentary about Amy Winehouse's life, won the 2016 Oscar for Best Documentary for filmmaker Asif Kapadia. Mitch Winehouse criticized the film's victory as he said it painted the singer in a negative light.

The U.S. Has Issued New Visa Criteria For Six Muslim Nations

Image
(WASHINGTON) — The Trump administration on Wednesday set new criteria for visa applicants from six mainly Muslim nations and all refugees that require a “close” family or business tie to the United States. The move came after the Supreme Court partially restored President Donald Trump’s executive order that was widely criticized as a ban on Muslims. Visas that have already been approved will not be revoked, but instructions issued by the State Department say that new applicants from Syria, Sudan, Somalia, Libya, Iran and Yemen must prove a relationship with a parent, spouse, child, adult son or daughter, son-in-law, daughter-in-law or sibling already in the United States to be eligible. The same requirement, with some exceptions, holds for would-be refugees from all nations that are still awaiting approval for admission to the U.S. Grandparents, grandchildren, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, brothers-laws and sisters-in-law, fiancees or other extended family members are no

G-20 minus 1: How Trump changed U.S. leadership

Image
HAMBURG — President Trump attended the G-20 summit in Hamburg, but he wasn't really a part of it. Instead, Trump used the conference space generously provided by his host, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, to conduct a series of his own mini-summits — separate on-on-one "meetings on the sidelines" with other world leaders where Trump pursued his own agenda. He met with Russian President Vladimir Putin about his interference in western elections. He met with leaders in Asia about North Korea. And he met with trading partners throughout the world in a two-day binge of talks.  This focus on one-on-one meetings, which ended with Trump declaring newly created great friendships with world leaders, meant that he often stepped away from the bigger meetings. On Saturday, he left his daughter Ivanka to represent the United States on the floor of the G-20 while he met with the president of Indonesia. And when the rest of the summit agreed  that the Paris climate agreem
