So I was rewatching the iconic, the ever-magnificent The Sound of Music the other day, and something dawned on me. Fräulein Maria looked just like J-hope.
It's all there: the thin, tall nose, the prominent cheekbones, even down to their lips and smile.
Photographic evidence here and here, please let me know if you can see it too because this was an epiphany for me.
D'oh!
Soh, are you well? Are you in a Christmas mood yet?
I’ve represented New South Wales in the Federal Parliament since 2019. I am currently the Chair of the Committee on Australia as a Finance and Technology Centre. I am passionate about innovation, fintech, start-ups, and economic reform. In October the Committee will release its final report detailing recommendations for a regulatory framework surrounding cryptocurrency and digital assets.
The inquiry has held three public hearings. While we can’t pre-empt the final report - three key points have come into focus:
-
It’s clear we need to take action to address de-banking. This requires higher level policy change than we previously thought.
-
Canberra needs to get up to speed on digital assets and blockchain. With the Afterpay-Square merger imminent (an announcement since we last met), the question is how, not if, we will address these issues.
-
Australia will likely reopen soon. We have a lot of catching up to do with the rest of the world, so we are going to have to act swiftly to attract foreign investment, talent and businesses.
I’ve spent a great deal of time engaging with regulators and industry leaders as well as leaders in these emerging sectors. Now I want to hear from you. What policy proposals would you like to see? What obstacles are in your way? What reforms would provide the biggest benefit to this sector?

Just wondering if the whole show was ever recorded. I've only been able to find little clips of a song or two. Not sure if this is the right place to post so let me know if there's somewhere better. Thanks!
The super color fragile lipstick gives me halitosis.
I can't remember the name of the course, but it has a woman who sounds like julie andrews narrating it. The best example I can come up with is This clip from the movie "walkabout".
It has been driving me crazy! I know I listened to this tape when I was a kid (80's).
Season 3 Check-in, Dr.Drew really sat up on stage talking about "all the crazy stuff from when you two were teenagers".... Andrew was born in March of 1986. Jenelle, December 1991. She was 14 when they met. The man was 20 if they met in 2006, 21 if they met in 2007. He has been over the age of 20 the entire times he's known Jenelle who was middle school aged at the time. There is no way in hell Dr.Drew was not aware of that and literally lied on stage to excuse Andrew's behavior and a grown ass man as "crazy teenage stuff". What a scum.
