The song was co-produced by Madison and Leroy Clampitt, and written by Madison, Clampitt, Tim Sommers and Jeremy “Kinetics” Dussolliet.

Alongside the single arrives the cinematic visual directed by Madison & Aerin Moreno, in which Madison finds herself in a dream-like sequence as she discovers the world around her is frozen in time – watch HERE.

Speaking about the release, Madison said “This song is a reflection of a time when everything seemed to stand still. I felt like every day was a cycle and I was stuck in such an anxious place, yet I could finally explore the thoughts and emotions in my head. I dreamed of a video that was cinematic and visually striking that brought those emotions to life, and I’m so proud of what we created.”

Madison first teased “Spinnin’” during her performance for Good Morning America’s Summer Concert Series. The song comes from Madison’s highly anticipated sophomore album Silence Between Songs, arriving September 15, 2023 via EPIC Records.

Speaking on the album, Madison said“I’ve learned so much about myself and my artistry on the journey of the last two years since my last record. This album tells the story of so many different pieces of me that I discovered in the moments of pause where I settled down from the noise and learned the most about myself. I hope my fans are as inspired listening to it as I was when creating it.”

“Spinnin’” is available to stream on all platforms HERE.

Pan Armenian Council Calls Upon the Biden Administration

The Pan Armenian Council of Western United States, the largest coalition of Armenian American community organizations in the United States, calls upon the Biden administration to take all measures necessary to end Azerbaijan’s illegal blockade of Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) which has endangered the lives of 120,000 men, women, and children for over eight (8) months. Time is running out.

Azerbaijan has cut off 120,000 Armenians from desperately needed food, medicine, energy resources and other urgently needed supplies since December 12, 2022, willfully creating a humanitarian crisis against innocent civilians who simply want a life of peace, freedom and security on their ancestral lands.

International human rights observers agree that the people of Artsakh have weeks to live. Since June 15, 2023, the dictatorial regime of Illham Aliyev has even restricted the delivery of humanitarian assistance by the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC).

Despite countless public condemnations of Azerbaijan’s genocidal policy against Artsakh by the international community, and a February 22, 2023 preliminary measure by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) ordering Azerbaijan to “take all measures at its disposal to ensure the unimpeded movement of persons, vehicles and cargo along the Lachin corridor in both directions” (which was reaffirmed by ICJ on July 7, 2023), Azerbaijan continued to escalate the crisis by installing an illegal check-point on the Lachin Corridor on April 23, 2023. This is in direct violation of the November 9, 2020 tri-lateral ceasefire statement signed following the 44 days of a war of aggression waged against the Armenians of Artsakh in the Fall of 2020.

Azerbaijan’s crimes against humanity and premeditated intent to commit genocide and ethnic cleansing were further demonstrated in late July and early August 2023, when Aliyev’s forces who have been illegally blockading the Lachin Corridor kidnapped 68-year-old Vagif Khachatryan and 61-year-old Artsakh resident Rashid Beglaryan, as they were being transported to Armenia by the ICRC for emergency medical care.

With the lives of 30,000 Armenian Children, 20,000 elderly, and 9,000 persons with disabilities hanging in the balance, we demand affirmative action by President Biden and the U.S. Department of State, to prevent a new Armenian Genocide at the hands of the Aliyev regime by:

1. Ensuring the immediate re-opening of the Lachin Corridor by introducing and facilitating the passage of a UN Security Council Resolution requiring Azerbaijan to adhere to the February 22, 2023, preliminary measure of the ICJ ordering Azerbaijan to open the Lachin Corridor;

2. Immediately halting all U.S. military assistance to Azerbaijan in light of the illegal humanitarian blockade imposed on the Armenians of Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh), consistent with Section 907 of the FREEDOM Support Act;

3. Sanctioning members of the Aliyev regime under the Global Magnitsky Human Rights Accountability Act for ongoing war crimes and crimes against humanity perpetrated by individual members of the Aliyev regime;

4. Delivering $100 million in USAID humanitarian assistance to Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) through the Lachin Corridor to ensure the survival of the 120,000 civilians who have been completely blockaded since June 15, 2023;

5. Introducing a UN Security Council resolution to establish a United Nations Mission in Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) [UNMINK] consisting of 5,000 international military personnel to ensure the physical security of the population.

Failure to immediately respond to this humanitarian crisis will result in Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) joining the ranks of Halabja, Rwanda, Darfur, and Srebrenica —events in world history that define modern evil and stain our collective conscience.

Mr. President and Mr. Secretary of State:

Resolute action is needed now to prevent a second Armenian Genocide. We ask that you lead the international community in fulfilling its global obligation to protect the 120,000 Armenians of Artsakh, and ensure the unquestionable and inalienable right of Artsakh Armenians for self-determination based on the principle of remedial secession.

PAN ARMENIAN COUNCIL OF WESTERN UNITED STATES

The Pan-Armenian Council of the Western United States of America was founded in Burbank, California in 2019 and is comprised of 25 of the largest religious, political, cultural and professional organizations leading the Armenian community. Through the Council, these entities strive to fulfill the organization’s mission statement, which is to implement and realize projects of a pan-community nature; to encourage and assist projects which advance the collective interests and the rights of Armenian communities across the Western United States; to undertake steps to resist actions and efforts which are contrary to the collective interests and rights of Armenians; to gather and apply the Armenian community’s resources for the benefit of the community’s interests as well as the welfare of the Republics of Armenia and Artsakh; to always be mindful of the collective health and protection of the Armenian community.

CARNAGE #1 GETS FOIL COVER

Many of Marvel’s hottest issues are shining on comic stands with FOIL VARIANT COVERS! This classic and iconic cover treatment is all the rage and this November, CARNAGE #1 will get one of its own by acclaimed artist Gabriele Dell’Otto. The piece captures the bloody fury the Carnage symbiote will unleash when it reunites with its favorite host—Cletus Kasady! Spinning out the current Death of the Venomverse limited series, CARNAGE is written by Torunn Grønbekk and drawn by artist Pere Pérez. The series will reveal new levels of depravity and savagery from Marvel’s most terrifying villain as he continues his dark ascent to power!

Describing the new series, Grønbekk said, “What are powers without purpose? Having hunted down and triumphed over his greatest weaknesses, Carnage’s powers are unrivaled. However, a piece is still missing – the symbiote needs a host with the ambition to match its own. And for Carnage, there was only ever one. (And you know who!) I knew writing Carnage would be an opportunity to explore some pretty dark themes, but I am surprised and delighted to find that the darkness is coming from some unexpected places. It is my kind of horror – overwhelmingly gruesome but still rooted firmly in humanity. Expect big symbiote action, mysteries, myth, and murder. This is gospel, according to Cletus Kasady, and he is the end of the world as we know it.”

See it below and witness Carnage’s latest slaughter when CARNAGE #1 hits stands in November! For more information, visit Marvel.com.

Things to Consider Before Disembarking into Financial Investments

Before you embark on any financial investment, you must evaluate your financial situation. It would be best to determine how much you make every month and how much spare cash you have available. Also, consider your financial goals and risk appetite. Once you know your present financial condition, you can set aside a certain amount for investment. You may want to consider trusted Perth SMSF accountants for additional information or assistance.

Evaluating your current financial condition

Before embarking on any financial investments, evaluating your current financial situation is crucial. Looking at your future goals and determining which investment options fit best is also essential. For example, you may want to save for retirement or pay for your child’s education. You may also want to purchase a vacation home or a new car. A rule of thumb is to have savings that cover three to six months of expenses.

Evaluating your investment objectives

When deciding to invest your money, it is essential to identify your investment objective. This helps you determine which types of assets you should buy. It would be best if you considered how your investment objective would affect the returns you get, your risk tolerance, and your time horizon. This information will help you make the best decisions for your money. All financial investments and OKX exchange carry some risk, and the outcome is always uncertain. It is, therefore, essential to determine your investment objectives to ensure that you receive the best recommendations. Financial professionals will ask you questions to learn more about your financial situation and your investment objectives. These questions will also help them better understand your risk tolerance and the urgency of your financial needs. Once you’ve identified your investment objectives, the next step is determining how much risk you can bear. Identifying your risk tolerance will allow you to avoid emotional investing mistakes. If you have a high-risk tolerance, you should be able to afford more risk. Then, you can build a portfolio around your investment objectives.

Evaluating your risk tolerance

When it comes to financial investments, evaluating your risk tolerance is a crucial first step. Although it sounds straightforward, knowing your level of patience can take time and effort. For example, you may think you can withstand losing money but then feel differently once you experience a loss. This is when you should consider taking a test. Many free tools will help you assess your level of risk tolerance. Several of these tools will offer questionnaires that you can complete online. Depending on your answers, these questionnaires can generate estimates of your asset allocation. While these results may be helpful as a starting point, they may also be biased toward certain financial products and services. Risk tolerance questionnaires usually ask about your age, liquidity needs, and risk capacity. While this information is helpful, it is essential to note that objective and subjective elements of risk tolerance should never be averaged. This would lead to overestimating personal factors and reduce the usefulness of objective measures. Before embarking on a financial investment plan, it is essential to determine your goals and risk tolerance. This step can be done alone or with the help of a financial professional. Once you know your objectives and risk tolerance, you can begin managing your money in ways that will increase your financial security over time.
