‘Beyond the Gates’ Star Shares Heartfelt Tribute to Her Parents on Their 40th Wedding Anniversary

'Beyond the Gates' Star Shares Heartfelt Tribute to Her Parents on Their 40th Wedding Anniversary

'Beyond the Gates' Star Shares Heartfelt Tribute to Her Parents on Their 40th Wedding Anniversaryoriginally appeared onParade. Beyond the Gates' Ashley Morgan and her on-screen mom, Jan, might not have the best luck in love, but that's not quiet the case for Ashley's portrayer,Jen Jacob,or her real-life parents. Jacob shared a touching tribute to them on social media in honor of their 40th wedding anniversary. Jacob took to Instagram to share a heartwarming video from her wedding where she is seen dancing with her father, only for her mother to join in, all to the beat of The Temptations hit song, My Girl. Jacob then gives fans a brief glimpse at her parents throughout the years, and captions her tribute; "Today my parents celebrate 40 years married. And here's the thing about being the child to a 40 year commitment…you get to watch it grow. 🌱 I've seen my parents marriage from almost every vantage point. I saw it in the backseat, buckled into the car, legs bouncing with the shifts of the road, I saw him hold her hand as they fought about the best way to get to her mother's. I heard it from the top of the staircase when he came home from work late, well after I was put to bed. I looked up to it as they placed me on the ground to fuss with Lindsay's scraped knees. I saw out to it in every audience as I surveyed from the stage, looking for their seats. They never missed a show, not once. I said goodbye to it when they left us with ravioli on date nights, and good morning to it as we jumped in their bed and snuggled in to watch Nickelodeon on special mornings. I sat with it when they got the heaviest news two people in love could possibly get, and I sat between it at her funeral too. I danced along side it at my wedding — having the Father-Daughter dance without my mom just didn't feel right. I sang with it on every birthday and I watched it standing there as I went off on my own for the very first time, waving to me from the driveway. I saw it when it was hurting, I saw it when it was laughing, I saw it when it was almost over and I saw it get put back together again too. I saw it get chosen, over and over and over again. And I saw it on their wedding day, I just didn't know it yet. Mom and Dad, thank you for teaching me how to choose love in this world. Kindness, forgiveness, strength and honoring your words, too. But most of all, love. 💕" A post shared by Jen Jacob (@jen.jacob) CBS officially describesBeyond the Gatesas a soap opera that is "set in a leafy Maryland suburb just outside of Washington, D.C., in one the most affluent African American counties in the United States; a posh gated community with winding tree-lined streets and luxurious mansions to call home. At the center of this community are the Duprees, a powerful and prestigious multi-generational family that is the very definition of Black royalty. But behind these pristine walls and lush, manicured gardens are juicy secrets and scandals waiting to be uncovered. And those who live outside these gates are watching closely. These are the places where our characters live, love, work and play. Those who have "made it" and those who haven't are all trying to navigate life … and some with more grace than others."

Xiaomi's YU7 car buyers face year-long wait for delivery, sparking complaints

Xiaomi's YU7 car buyers face year-long wait for delivery, sparking complaints

SHANGHAI (Reuters) -China's Xiaomi is telling customers of its new YU7 electric sports utility vehicle they will have to wait more than a year to receive their cars, sparking a fresh wave of complaints against the company. The smartphone turned EV maker said it received roughly 240,000 orders for the YU7 in the first 18 hours after the car went on sale on Thursday night, but only a small number of vehicles were available for immediate delivery. By Tuesday, the Xiaomi app showed purchasers were facing a wait of between 38 and 60 weeks, according to Reuters checks. Since Friday, more than 400 buyers have lodged complaints on Sina's Black Cat consumer complaint platform saying they were not made aware of the long wait and demanding a refund, according to a Reuters review of the records on the platform. Buyers had to make a non-refundable deposit of 5,000 yuan ($697.97) to place their order. They said the official app only showed the estimated waiting time for the car after the order had been confirmed. They also raised concerns about whether the longer wait would mean they would have to pay more because a tax exemption for EVs is set to expire at the end of this year. Xiaomi did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Its charismatic CEO Lei Jun said on his Weibo account, where he has 26.8 million followers, that he would answer some questions raised after the YU7 launch in a livestreaming event on Wednesday. Xiaomi made a huge splash in China's EV market with the launch of its first vehicle, the SU7 sedan, in March last year. While early buyers of the SU7 initially faced waits of up to 7 months it has outsold Tesla's Model 3 in China on a monthly basis since December. The company has been grappling with a consumer backlash since a fatal crash involving an SU7 in March. It has also faced complaints over the confusion surrounding vehicle delivery times, as well as optional features. The YU7 is Xiaomi's second model and priced from 253,500 yuan ($35,360), nearly 4% less than Tesla's Model Y, currently China's best-selling SUV. Lei has been open about how Xiaomi wants to challenge Tesla's Model Y for the top spot. Xiaomi has been ramping up output at its Beijing plant and plans new factories on two plots of land nearby. Monthly output has increased to 28,000 units in May from 4,000 units last March. ($1 = 7.1636 Chinese yuan renminbi) (Reporting by Zhang Yan, Brenda Goh; Editing by Kate Mayberry)

The suspension of Thailand's prime minister over a leaked phone call stirs familiar turmoil

The suspension of Thailand's prime minister over a leaked phone call stirs familiar turmoil

BANGKOK (AP) — The Constitutional Court's suspension ofThai Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatrahas raised questions about whether her family's political comeback last year would end with another downfall. Paetongtarnwas the third prime ministerin her family, after her father, Thaksin Shinawatra, a telecom billionaire who has been one of Thailand's top political operators, and her aunt, Yingluck Shinawatra, who was the country's first female prime minister. Thaksin was ousted by a military coup in 2006 and Yingluck by a court ruling in 2014. Thaksin remained beloved after his ouster among voters who saw in him and his allies a government that looked after their interests. While campaigning in 2022, Paetongtarn acknowledged her family ties but insisted she was not her father's proxy. "It's not the shadow of my dad. I am my dad's daughter, always and forever, but I have my own decisions," she said. She also said she hoped her government would be able to "build opportunity and quality of life" and "make the country go forward." Paetongtarn was suspended Tuesday by the court pending an ethics investigation a leaked phone call with senior Cambodian leader Hun Sen that was perceived as damaging to Thailand's interests and image. Eroding trust capped by a diplomatic blunder Her critics have said Paetongtarn's government has achieved little.Marriage equalitybecame law but was initiated under her predecessor.Controls on cannabiswere retightened after public backlash over decriminalization, but the move and its enforcement were called rushed and confusing. Her critics also cited unsatisfactory outcomes in other Pheu Thai party policies, like unequal minimum wage increases, constant changes in acash handout programand the stalled andcontroversial legalization of casinos. They also noted the lack of progress in tariffs talks with the United States. But analysts see the leaked call followingborder tensions with Cambodiato be the most disastrous event by far. The outrage has centeredon Paetongtarn's commentsabout an outspoken Thai army commander and the perception that she was trying to appease Hun Sen. Paetongtarn apologized but also denied that she had damaged the country. She ignored calls for her to resign or dissolve Parliament to take responsibility, which critics saw as an attempt by the Pheu Thai party to cling to power. Napon Jatusripitak, a political science researcher at Singapore's ISEAS-Yusof Ishak Institute, said her response seemed "totally disconnected from political reality" and that the scandal has exposed "her leadership failures and fuels accusations that she prioritizes family interests over national welfare." Adoration for the Shinawatra cools Her father, Thaksin, is believed to be the key decision maker behind Pheu Thai, now led by Paetongtarn. Time and again, Thaksin-backed parties have prevailed in national elections but could not stay in office after legal rulings and destabilizing street protests engineered by Thaksin's die-hard foes. But in 2023, Thaksin alienated many of his old supporters with what looked like aself-serving dealwith his former conservative opponents. It allowed hisreturn from exileand his party to form the new government, while sidelining the progressiveMove Forward Party, which finished first in a national election but was seen by the conservative establishment as a greater threat. Now with the current crisis, things could drastically change for the Shinawatra family. "In light of the recent controversy, the Shinawatra spell has been broken. The only viable Shinawatra scion is now tainted," Napon said. "It would be an understatement to say that the Shinawatra name no longer guarantees electoral success." And not everything has been squared away with her family's enemies. Yingluck remains in exile, andlegal problems— arguably politically inspired — could send her to prison if she returns to Thailand. Thaksin also still facessome legal challenges. Thailand's royalist establishment has long been disturbed that Thaksin's populist policies appeared to threaten their status and that of the monarchy at the heart of Thai identity. Paetongtarn now alsofaces protestsby familiar faces from the same conservative, pro-royalist group that opposed her father. "History seems to be repeating itself in a way. Thailand seems trapped in a depressingly familiar cycle where Shinawatra-led governments come to power, only to face mounting pressure from traditional power centers, street protests, and extraparliamentary interventions that ultimately force them from office," Napon said. Paetongtarn, 38, is the youngest of Thaksin's three children. She was an executive in a hotel business run by her family before making her public entry into politics in 2021 when the Pheu Thai party named her to lead an advisory committee. She has two children with her husband, Pitaka Suksawat, who was a commercial pilot before he began working in one of the Shinawatras' real estate ventures.
