Accessories and outerwear brand, Sprayground, known for pioneering the advancement of the traditional backpack into a global art movement, announced today the release of a limited-edition line of backpacks designed by NFL stars and former LSU teammates Odell Beckham Jr. of the New York Giants, Jarvis Landry of the Miami Dolphins, and Jeremy Hill of the Cincinnati Bengals, who together were founding members of the self-proclaimed “Royal Family.”
“We are spearheading the evolution of the backpack and making this once-utilitarian item into a fashion statement with a focus on quality, function and design with a rebellious attitude,” said David Ben-David, founder of Sprayground. “We’re excited to work with standout NFL players Odell Beckham Jr., Jarvis Landry and Jeremy Hill, as this is a chance for them to show off their creative side and personalities with their own individual backpacks.”
The limited-edition “Royal Family” Sprayground collection ranges from $65-$75 in price and can be purchased online at www.sprayground.com until supply runs out. The collection’s fourth bag representing the entire “Royal Family” will be released to the public at a later date.
The backpack designed by Beckham, the NFL record-holder for most receptions over a player’s first two seasons, is inspired by his New York Giants jersey and contains a tribute to his intricate arm tattoos along the side panels. Appropriately named the “F-13 Wingman” backpack , his bag also features detachable ‘wings’ – symbolizing his ability to fly through the air and make game-winning catches, also seen as a logo on the side strap.
Fellow Tiger alum and Dolphins wide receiver Jarvis Landry’s “Miami Drift” bag draws from his Miamistomping ground and love for fast cars, with graphics inspired by Sprayground’s signature “305” series and detachable ‘doors’ adorned with his team number.
Rounding out the “Royal Family,” Louisiana native and Cincinnati Bengals running back Jeremy Hill’s taps both his past, with a Bourbon Street backdrop, and the present, with a

Lesotho's former finance minister, Moeketsi Majoro, was sworn in as prime minister on Wednesday, a day after the resignation of Thomas Thabane, who quit after being accused of conspiring to murder of his wife.
Thabane attended Wednesday's swearing-in ceremony at the royal palace of King Letsie III, handing Majoro a copy of the constitution to formally signal the transfer of power.
Thabane stepped down following months of calls for his resignation over the murder of his estranged wife Lipolelo Thabane in 2017, just two days before he took office.
Majoro, who was first appointed into cabinet by Thabane in 2013, vowed Wednesday to usher in \"a new version\" of leadership and \"bring back their (people's) trust to the government\".
Majoro, who was aligned to Thabane in the divided ruling All Basotho Convention (ABC) party, emerged a consensus candidate to take over from Thabane.

The brainchild of David Stanley, Skelattack, is a unique, beautifully designed game that features lovable characters, well thought out levels complimented with a charming story.
In the game, you take control of the hero Skully on the eve of his remembrance day.
But that’s not all, dangerous traps like crossbows, different variations of spikes, giant guillotines, fireballs, and more will make your life absolutely miserable while playing Skelattack and if you’re not careful will kill either Skully or Imber instantly.
Thank goodness the game counters the high death rates with saving locations where Skully and Imber can respawn and are usually not too far from where you met your doom.
If you’re into games with rewarding experiences, Skelattack should definitely find its way into your library of games to play while staying safe inside your homes.

I stand in this state of suspended animation that now exists between the birth of Pentecostalism and the Mega-church and prosperity doctrine, where COVID-19 has forced church services to the Internet and, for some, reduced the administering of Holy Communion recently to pre-Easter drive-thrus and a chance to touch a big cross.
I stand still convinced that church buildings and crosses are mere symbols to the believer—not necessarily requisite to salvation.
Indeed the church, where I have gathered more times than I can count since I was a child, had a critical hand in the faith that helped pull me through poverty and hardship.
Indeed I see a different man than I am today: Younger, fervent, more idealistic at my grandparents’ True Vine Church of God In Christ with its neon-lit marquee with the red letters, “Jesus Saves” in a white globe, lighting the way.

Algiers, the capital city of Algeria, lies along the northwestern edge of a large bay in the Mediterranean Sea. The largest city in Algeria, Algiers has served as a principal seaport as well as a commercial, cultural, and political center for the country.
The Phoenicians, who created a small trading colony, gave it the name Ikosin. The area was renamed Icosium by the Romans, who occupied the area from 300 BC – 100 AD. At various points, it was controlled or conquered by Berbers, Vandals, Byzantines, and Arabs. The city reappeared in historical accounts after the mid-tenth century when Bulukkin, a Fatimid emir of Berber origin, established a trade center. He is recognized by many as the founder of Algiers, which he named Al-Jaza’ir Bani Mazghanna (“islands of the sons of Mazghanna”).
Algiers, long under the shifting powers of foreign invaders, broke from this pattern in the early sixteen century, when Andalusian Muslims and Jews fleeing the Reconquista in Spain arrived to its shores. When the Spanish came in pursuit, the city’s Muslims sought protection from Turkish corsairs who had control of an eastern port, Jijel. By 1529, the Spanish were driven out, having lost a strategic site for trade and piracy.
Ottoman rule brought the construction of mosques, monuments, and the Casbah (“citadel”), an infamous military palace. In the 1600s, the population of Algiers was around 100,000, with 30,000 additional Christian captives, the result of a thriving privateering trade primarily targeting Spanish transport. Piracy was banned a century later by European enforcement and the city began to concentrate on grain exportation.
By 1830, Napoleon’s army successfully occupied the city over a conflict arising from grain delivery payments. By that point, Algiers had been ravaged by plague, famine, and dwindling trade profits.
The Turkish military elite fled, along with a portion of the Muslim population. Their property was appropriated by the French, who also took control of religious endowments. Despite mass protest, the Katwaja
By BINAJ GURUBACHARYA Associated Press KATHMANDU, Nepal (AP) — On a sunny June day in Nepal, hundreds of young people in face masks stood a meter apart behind the barbed-wire barricades and rows of riot police guarding the prime minister's residence, shouting slogans demanding a better government response to the coronavirus pandemic. In a rare show of young people humbling a powerful government to action in Asia, they got one. But not before hundreds of protesters were doused with water cannons, some beaten with police batons and others detained. A charismatic young leader nearly died on hunger strike.
