Yank Barry, the philanthropist and member of the legendary band The Kingsmen of "Louie, Louie" fame, has again been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.

This time, the part-time Bradenton resident received the honor from boxer and Filipino politician Manny Pacquiáo and Luis Crisologo Singson, governor of the province of Ilocos Sur, Philippines.

Barry recently returned from Philippines, where he spent a week working with victims from a typhoon that hit the nation in late 2012 and killed more than 1,000.

This is the third nomination for the 65-year-old in as many years.

"It's an absolute honor," Barry said in a statement on Monday. "It's a bit overwhelming to think about it. I never set out to be recognized like this."

 

Barry's work has already earned him more than 20 international humanitarian and peace awards, including a 1999 Liberian Humanitarian award and the 2010 Gusi Peace Prize. In 2005, he was named as a Red Cross Humanitarian.

In the wake of his 30-year music career, Barry co-founded a nonprofit group - Global Village Champions Foundation - with Muhammad Ali that has donated 900 million meals to relief agencies and has spearheaded relief missions to disaster and war-torn countries.

DyverCity by Fabtabulous22

⚠️ Warning!!⚠️ ⚠️ Contains mature content such as smut, violence, language and drug use⚠️ "Life is a cruel lottery-misfortune rains on all, while fleeting blessings tease only a few. For people like me, the darkness clings like damp rot, and any flicker of light snuffs out before it can warm the soul." "You might be different," he said, voice soft. "There's goodness in you." I laughed, a bitter edge cutting through. "After the wreckage I've left behind? No, I'm no exception. And neither are you." In a world crawling with criminals, where mobsters pull the strings and masks hide every face, beauty is just a lure for the unwary. The most breathtaking places? They're the deadliest traps. Kaleb Amato, Ridgewood High's golden quarterback, reigns with swagger and a mind sharp as a blade. A bright future gleams ahead-arrogant, untouchable. A hero? Hardly. Mia Langley, a firecracker with a tongue like a whip and a mind in splinters, storms back after two years in a brutal boot camp. Sweet? Innocent? The idea's a punchline. She's home now, but DyverCity's first rule has slipped her mind: don't let its seductive shimmer fool you. This city's a Venus flytrap-get caught in its jaws, and you're not getting out alive.

Soul Fly by Booksof6lues

"But I know God give his toughest battles to his toughest soldiers. Don't cry for me when the war is over. Just know I finally found that peace that I was looking for. Look, look, living life on the run, too many problems at once. Too stressed, can't get no rest, I'm up before the sun. I knew this day would come. Even though it's hard times, it's too late to give up now, my nigga. Keep it moving on." - Rod Wave

La Mémoire de Lune by sailaway_

Memories of the Moon. Perhaps it was the inexplicable exhilaration momentarily caused her to zone out or, quite possibly, the hunger she felt that made her solely focus on the shawarma kiosk. Completely unaware of her surroundings, Hope failed to notice a man heading straight her way and he showed no sign of slowing down in his fast pace. A man sprinted off when he saw the time, the event was about to start and he promised his bandmates they'd meet up a few minutes before it did. He only wanted to grab a bite, was that so wrong? As he rushed through the crowd, he mentally prepared himself to perform later on and so he failed to notice a particularly enchanting, albeit preoccupied, young woman that was in his way. The two acknowledged each other's presence too late, they had no time to stop and evade one another. The result? A collision. --- Meet Hope Wintour. She's someone who's very caring, compassionate, sweet, selfless, and full of life. She's someone who's always up to the challenge, even if it might end up breaking her. She's genuinely beautiful, inside and out. There always seems to be a smile on her face, no matter what. Although, the hundred million dollar question stands: is her smile the truth? --- Most Impressive Ranking: #1 on Contemporary #34 on Wanderer

Fearless by Reffster

What if you threw your life away and the world threw it back? If you found yourself in credit to the value of one life? Would you spend that credit on a worthy cause, if fate offered up the chance? **** Alone and a long way from home, Nick's big city adventure is not going at all to plan.

Finding Christmas by ellemoira

(Completed) Earlier this year, a pandemic crippled the world... December 1 The earthquake hit. December 3 The waters came and the flood overpowered us. My younger brother and sister cry for our parents on the other side of the world. The only consolation I have is "Christmas is coming." My younger sister asked me how we could celebrate Christmas with nothing. I had no answer except, "We'll find a way." *** 2020 brought many unexpected things. The unexpected bad and the unexpected good. With the year coming to a close, I want to dedicate this story to the front-liners, to those living away from family, to the Filipinos affected by the recent typhoons and flood, and to my grandparents who have survived through so much and thrived through it all. Christmas time is the time to be reminded of HOPE, the hope that comes in Jesus' promised birth and life to live, PEACE, the peace that comes from the Prince of Peace alone, JOY, the joy that comes from a fresh start, a new beginning and the birth of a baby (Luke 2:5-7) and LOVE, the love that sent a King down on earth to be a baby so that He could experience life before He'd give His life for us so that we could live with Him (John 3:16) (Not edited. Thanks for reading:)
