He alleged that prior to the 26-year-old promoting songs such as Same Lingerie on her Instagram 'to over 260,000 people,' she 'intentionally disregarded' the DMCA Violation and Cease and Desist notice he had issued her Moore went on to explain that Same Lingerie was inspired by a relationship with a woman He recorded the original demos for the song which was based on her 'hesitations and emotional struggles following a previous relationship.' He is requesting punitive damages of $5 million per song He is also demanding a jury trial and seeking an award for statutory damages of up to $150,000 per infringement statutory damages of up to $25,000 per DMCA violation and compensatory and punitive damages for willful copyright infringement The California-based artist has also made the allegations against Columbia Records He claims the defendants’ ‘misappropriated his contributions to the Works falsely registered the Works under their names and exploited the Works for commercial gain across multiple revenue-generating commercially viewable platforms without authorization.’ is furious that this spiraled out of control 'Beyoncé is incensed that it has gone this far,’ they said 'This lawsuit is a terrible look for everyone involved.’ They claimed communication between Bailey and Parkwood had been 'breaking down' in the weeks leading up to the filing and they were 'petrified of being drawn into a lawsuit about theft of intellectual property especially after seeing how damaging the Marvin Gaye lawsuit was to Robin Thicke’s career.’ Melvin has written and contributed to hit records for G-Eazy He also worked with Kanye West on Problematic which was featured on his Vultures 1 album in February 2024 Moore posted the album cover of West with his wife Bianca Censori and captioned it: 'HONORED I want to thank one of the hardest working rockstars & living legends of our generation Thanks for always opening your doors when others were closed 'BIG LOVE & THANK YOU @kanyewest @tydollasign @djfai @sevyn.' which began in 2009 after he famously stormed the MTV VMAs stage when Taylor Swift won There have been signs on social media that a lawsuit was brewing an advocate and organizer for the union Songwriters & Composers Guild posting prolifically about Moore's situation In a January 8 post on Instagram, she wrote: 'If @chloebailey wanted to #paysongwriters, her lawyer would say that. He is NOT.  'He is saying it’s ridiculous that @oneinthe4rest (Melvin Moore) charges a fee and master royalty points, and he doesn’t need @oneinthe4rest’s consent to release his composition. This the REALITY.' She has also spoken out against Combsé a former friend of Beyoncé and Jay-Z, who assaulted her friend Cassie Ventura.

Ingrid Burley and Sophie Beem were previously on the roster of talent. In 2016, Parkwood Entertainment released Beyoncé's sixth studio album, Lemonade, which was accompanied by the release of the hour-long Lemonade visual film on HBO.

Brewhouse, Resort Villas, Commercial Buildings, and its podium base have been considered as a three-dimensional form in the urban context of the Parkwood Precinct,” BDA said in their design brief “The simple curved podium base with its horizontal lines and openness allows cascading landscapes to spill over the podium edge softening its appearance whilst allowing for flooding “The curved plan form

from anywhere – and provides wholesome homemade lunches and full breakfasts along with a walking group an exercise group or just somewhere for people to sit have as many hot drinks as they want and a natter People who attend range from a six-month-old baby to people in their late 80s The group also runs kids’ clubs in the holidays and children come from all over Huddersfield to do cooking Parkwood Community Group was set up by Parkwood Methodist Church to try to help ease deprivation in the area with the project contracted to community interest company Youth Matters Kirklees to run it to save having to employ its own staff The group is run by Youth Matters Kirklees directors Cheryl Hey and Lewis Ola helped by volunteers including teenager Zak Fulgoni and Marcus Allen He’s Cheryl’s uncle and now everyone knows him simply as Uncle Marcus The project runs on Wednesdays and Thursdays and is based at the Drop By centre on Sycamore Avenue in Golcar Cheryl said: “We now serve up to 30 meals a day and it’s a very important lifeline for so many people “We know that if this was to close it would have such a devastating impact on our community We are onto a good thing here and our service users will tell you how special the project is “We really hope that by the power of community we can raise some well needed funds to give us more time for some other application bids we are waiting to hear back from.” She added: “At the start of the project we were able to offer the meals for free to get it up and running and the numbers then built up Now we have to charge but it’s only £3 per meal including as many drinks as people want “It’s open all day on Wednesday and Thursday and anyone can drop by and use it We have some who are there all day and it’s become a really important social hub in their lives One person described it as ‘like going to my nan’s house there’s some food and you can speak to people who care.’ Cheryl said the initial 12-months funding is now rapidly coming to an end and despite several applications for more funding they have not been successful so time is quickly running out They have set up a GoFundMe page with a target of £4,000 and people can donate to it

PR (https://ah-pr.com/) specialising in press releases copywriting and ghost-writing autobiographies Have a street party to celebrate the 80th anniversary of VE Day – and there’s no charge for road closures The company, Parkwood Landscape Maintenance, must pay $276,425 for failing to provide employees with access to water, shaded area and proper training on preventing heat-related illness, according to the California Division of Occupational Safety and Health, known as Cal/OSHA. The landscaping company lacked written procedures for how to protect employees in high temperatures that often exceeded 95 degrees, and employees were forced to purchase their own drinking water, in violation of the rules, which require that employers provide fresh drinking water free of charge, the Cal/OSHA citation said. The citation marks the first time the workplace safety agency has issued its most severe charge for a heat safety violation, determining the violations were “serious” and “willful.” A violation is categorized as serious if it could result in injury, illness or death and classified as willful if the employer knew there was a health hazard and took no action to protect against it or had been previously cited for failing to take action, said former Cal/OSHA investigator Garrett Brown, who retired in 2014 after 20 years with the agency. Parkwood Landscape was cited previously, in 2022, for failing to meet heat safety requirements. Despite being provided with information on how to change its procedures, the company did not implement necessary preventative measures, Cal/OSHA said. “Employers have a responsibility to protect their workers from the dangers of extreme heat. It is unacceptable for any business to blatantly ignore safety protocols, putting their employees at serious risk,” Cal/OSHA Chief Debra Lee said in a news release from the agency. Business The indoor heat illness prevention rule regulates indoor workplaces in California that reach or surpass 82 degrees, such as kitchens and warehouses. Parkwood Landscape will have the opportunity to appeal the citation. The company did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Cal/OSHA began its investigation in June after receiving a complaint about Parkwood Landscape employees working outdoors without access to water or heat illness training. The citation represents an effort by Cal/OSHA to better enforce heat standards after fielding criticism that the agency been beset by inadequate staffing and claims of ineffectiveness. The criticisms come as scorching conditions have intensified in recent years due to climate change, endangering farmworkers, construction workers and others who toil in extreme temperatures. Climate & Environment As California regulators struggle with short staffing farmworkers say they are denied shade and water required by law Cal/OSHA is grappling with high vacancy rates and faced condemnation from lawmakers at a February hearing during which farmworkers testified that they’d been exposed to extreme heat and pesticides on the job The agency has begun recruitment efforts to fill those positions but remains understaffed and slow at hiring even as it seeks to enforce a growing list of heat and other safety regulations California became the first state in the nation to implement heat standards for outdoor work requiring employers to provide access to shade and water and cool-down rests when workers need them defined as temperatures of 95 degrees or higher employers are required to remind workers of safe practices and observe them for signs or symptoms of heat illness Earlier this year the agency adopted new heat protections that apply to indoor workers, expanding safety measures for more than a million workers laboring in warehouses, kitchens, laundry rooms and other hot indoor settings.
