"The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" is a 1957 folk song written by British political singer/songwriter Ewan MacColl for Peggy Seeger, who later became his wife. At the time, the couple were lovers, although MacColl was still married to Joan Littlewood. Seeger sang the song when the duo performed in folk clubs around Britain. During the 1960s, it was recorded by various folk singers and became a major international hit for Roberta Flack in 1972, winning Grammy Awards for Record of the Year and Song of the Year. Billboard ranked it as the no. 1 Hot 100 single of the year for 1972.

Lyrics:
The first time, ever I saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
And the moon and the stars
Were the gifts you gave
To the dark, and the endless skies
My Love

And the first time, ever I kissed your mouth
I felt the earth move in my hands
Like the trembling heart
Of a captive bird
That was there, at my command
My Love

And the first time, ever I lay with you
I felt your heart so close to mine
And I knew our joy
Would fill the earth
And last, til the end of time
My Love
And last, 'til the end of time
My love

The first time, ever I saw
Your face
Your face
Your fa-ace
Your face

In this video, Ashley Jenae breaks down the motivations behind “swirlers” and “divesters,” sparking a deeper conversation about dating preferences, identity, and cultural dynamics in the Black community.

We examine the social, psychological, and historical factors that influence these perspectives—moving beyond surface-level takes to understand what’s really driving the discourse. Is it personal preference, social conditioning, protest, or something more complex?

This discussion explores themes of self-perception, media influence, gender dynamics, and community debates, offering a nuanced analysis rather than simple outrage.

Whether you agree or disagree, this is a conversation that reflects larger shifts in culture, relationships, and identity in the modern era.

Aquaponics combines two growing methods, aquaculture and hydroponics, to create a self-contained, well-balanced ecosystem. Fish are fed and raised in a tank and as gravity pulls the wastewater through a hydroponic garden, bacteria feed on the waste, breaking it down into essential nutrients for the plants to grow. The system then returns the cleaned water back to the fish reservoir so the process can begin again.

In this episode, Charles Collins shares his backyard aquaponic and hydroponic gardens where he's able to grow tilapia, leafy greens, peppers, herbs and so much more, all in the suburban desert. Together we grow!

For more than 80 years, CBC News has been the source Canadians turn to, to keep them informed about their communities, their country and their world. Through regional and national programming on multiple platforms, including CBC Television, CBC News Network, CBC Radio, CBCNews.ca, mobile and on-demand, CBC News and its internationally recognized team of award-winning journalists deliver the breaking stories, the issues, the analyses and the personalities that matter to Canadians.

It began with a livestream no one saw coming, and a voice no one could forget. A man in uniform, staring straight into the camera, said calmly, “Your government is stealing from you. If we don’t stop them now, this nation will collapse.” Within minutes, the video spread across Tanzania like wildfire. The man was Captain John Charles Tesha, a weapons instructor from the Air Force, and he had just called for the military to overthrow the government. In a country that hadn’t seen a soldier defy power in sixty years, it was like lightning in daylight. Within two days, Tesha vanished, discharged, silenced, erased. But his voice lingered. Because deep down, Tanzanians knew he wasn’t crazy. He was right. Their democracy had been replaced by a dynasty, and their hope, by fear. What happened next would expose not just one leader, but an entire system. As the African Diaspora saying goes, "I am because we are, and we are because I am."

Worldwide adoption of China's currency, the renminbi (RMB), is gaining steam as the de-dollarization push takes hold across the non-G7 countries.

Two macro factors are accelerating the growth of the RMB in place of the US dollar as the preferred currency for trading and settlements. The economic sanctions against Russia, which froze and then seized billions of dollars of Russian USD reserves held in custody in Western banks, are forcing countries and companies to de-risk by moving their reserves from SWIFT-associated financial institutions. Another crucial factor is the high US interest rates, which are sucking in hundreds of billions of dollars from global accounts to feed huge and growing fiscal deficits.

High US government borrowing causes USD to be drained from the global system. Ironically, this causes USD to gain in value outside the US, while feeding inflation and reducing the dollar's strength inside the country.

Simply by moving its USD and Euro reserves from US and European banks to Chinese-based institutions, Chinese banks enjoy the best of all worlds: they receive billions of USD and Euro every day through trading surpluses, and can then lend those foreign currencies and create assets and economic activity on their own balance sheets. Analysis of Chinese banking and lending data confirm explosive growth in Chinese lending abroad, in both RMB and USD.
