The video, captured by one of the attendees, was captioned, 'While I was DJ'ing Johnny Gill's Birthday/Memorial Day party, the legend himself Jeffrey Osborne showed us that his mic was ON!!! At 77, still sounding as strong as ever!!! What an amazing day!!'
Fans were quick to praise Osborne's timeless voice and youthful energy. One wrote, 'Jeffrey sounds as clean as the recording,' while another gushed, 'I REFUSE to believe he is 77.'Same, girl. Same.Osborne is best known for his classic ballads, but he has recently been mourning the loss of his beloved wife, Sheri Osborne, who passed away in March at the age of 69.

2024 Lexus GX 550 Road Trip Review: 1,000 Miles of Comfort and Annoying Driver Tech
The rest of it Fuel economy was disappointing considering the amount of time spent on the highway. On this trip, we achieved the best average to date: 19.7 mpg. Remember, the GX is rated at 17 mpg combined (15 city/21 highway). The turning radius was amazing. I could flip a U-turn on most residential streets in my area. This must help a lot with maneuvering off-road, but I kept on pavement this time. That said, our team will be sure to bring the Overtail off-road over the course of our yearlong test. The pop-out cargo area window was a feature I didn't realize I needed until I had it. Three one-gallon jugs of water got pinned against the cargo hatch door when I wasn't looking. Had I not opened the window first for a peek, it could've been trouble when I opened the hatch door. I should add that at 6 feet tall, the window is a perfect height for me. I could see it being less useful for shorter humans. Finally, two oddities. First, I was in a drive-thru and the front proximity sensor chimed an alert, then stopped, then repeated five or six times. The distance shouldn't have triggered the sensor to begin with, and considering that the car was stationary during the freakout left me scratching my head. Second, there was a water drainage quirk. The GX roof drainage rail lines up in such a way that, when I opened the rear door and reached inside, a stream of cold morning dew dripped down the back of my neck. When I wasn't blocking its path, the water flowed right onto the carpet. That shouldn't happen.

Worcester street renamed to honor teen who died after "One Chip Challenge"
A street in Worcester has been renamed in honor of a 14-year-old boy who died in 2023 after eating a spicy chip as part of a social media challenge. The "One Chip Challenge" In 2023, Paqui's "One Chip Challenge" hit social media, encouraging fans to try their super spicy chip. The single wrapped chip came in a box labeled "Carolina Reaper" and "Naga Viper Pepper." Harris Wolobah was a sophomore at Doherty High School when a friend gave him the chip in September 2023. Harris fainted after eating the chip, and the school nurse called his parents. His parents said Harris fainted again that night, and they rushed him to the hospital, where he died. Paqui pulled the chips from the shelves after Harris's death. An autopsy revealed Harris died of cardiopulmonary arrest "in the setting of recent ingestion of a food substance with high capsaicin concentration." The medical examiner also found Harris had an enlarged heart and a congenital heart defect. In 2024, Harris's family sued Paqui, also naming Hershey and Walgreens in the lawsuit. Honoring "a young man's spirit" "Today is not just about a name; it is about a young man's spirit. It is about the light he brought to those around him. To the children of Worcester who walk these streets, let Harris's name be a reminder that you matter, your life matters," said Harris's mother, Lois Wolobah. Shore Drive will also be known as Harris Thompson Wolobah Way. The sign was unveiled at the corner of Shore Drive and South Frontage Road, in front of the YMCA, where Harris spent a lot of his time playing basketball.

Great tablet deals from Apple and Amazon!
Are you thinking of getting a tablet that is good but won't break the bank? My two favorite picks in the budget tier category are the Apple iPad A16 and the Amazon Fire Max 11. Both are on sale today, making them even more affordable! Get the Apple iPad A16 for $299 ($50 off) Get the Amazon Fire Max 11 for $174.99 ($55 off) These offers both come from Amazon. The Apple iPad A16 is available in four colors: Blue, Pink, Silver, and Yellow. All color versions are discounted equally. Apple iPad A16 If you want something more capable and much more mainstream, the Apple iPad A16 strikes the perfect balance. It's more than good enough for most users, but the price stays very reasonable. I can confidently say it offers the best value in the world of tablets. While this is technically Apple's 'lower-end tablet,' you wouldn't assume this if you didn't know its price. It looks, feels, and performs pretty much like a higher-end pad, offering an outstanding experience. I would recommend this one at full price, so the $50 discount is a really tasty cherry on top. As the name implies, this iPad has an upgraded Apple A16 chipset. It also features 4GB of RAM. While that may not sound too exciting, I can tell you it will be more than good enough for most apps and games. I use the 10th-generation iPad and have yet to see it slow down, so this one should do even better! The only downside here is that this iPad won't get Apple Intelligence. That requires an Apple A17 Pro chipset. The design is nearly identical to that of the previous generation iPad. It even has the same 9.79 x 7.07 x 0.28in dimensions, as well as an identical 1.05lbs weight! Honestly, you'll have a hard time telling them apart side to side. Another nice benefit is that the Apple iPad A16 gets twice the base storage at 128GB, as opposed to 64GB on the previous version. That means you'll be able to store twice as many apps, files, photos, and more. This is great news because we know many of you believe 64GB is too little for today's standards. The display is nearly the same, but there is technically an ever-so-slight upgrade here. This iPad display measures in at 11 inches, instead of the 10.9-inch screen in the Apple iPad 10th Generation. That said, the 0.1-inch difference is really negligible. Regardless, the definition is 2,360 x 1,640, so it's pretty sharp. If you're into hand-written notes or drawing, the Apple iPad A16 also supports both the Apple Pencil USB-C and the Apple Pencil First Generation. Battery life is pretty nice, too, at about 10 hours per charge. Amazon Fire Max 11 Amazon Fire Max 11 Amazon Fire Max 11 Competing with the big dogs in the tablet market Amazon has been in the tablet game for years, but the Fire Max 11 might be their first tablet to truly compete in the 11-inch tablet segment. A high-resolution display is backed by big battery life and enough storage for all of your apps and games. See price at Amazon Save $55.00 Limited Time Deal! The Apple iPad A16 is excellent, but it isn't for everyone. Maybe you want to spend even less, if the tablet is for a kid, or a very casual user. If I were to recommend a cheaper tablet, I would say go for the Amazon Fire Max 11. It's the best tablet Amazon has to offer, and you can currently get it for just $174.99. The Amazon Fire Max 11 is great if you want something to watch movies, do some general browsing, or even play some games! IT has a large 11-inch screen, and the resolution is actually quite nice at 2,000 x 1,200. The stereo speakers are also pretty decent. Amazon That said, most of the tablet is more modest. It has a MediaTek MT8188J octa-core processor and 4GB of RAM. Nothing impressive, but it can handle casual tasks just fine. Despite its much lower price, it still has some cool features, like a fingerprint reader and a 14-hour battery life. If you want to improve the experience, you can even get an optional keyboard case and a stylus. This turns it into a bit of a powerhouse for anyone who wants to work on documents, browse the web, draft emails, take notes, or even draw. Are you getting one of these? Make sure to act quickly! We don't know how long these offers will stick around. And if you need some alternatives, here is our list of the best Android tablets.
