The latest Channel Ten executive to get the axe in the TV network's savage round of redundancies has signed off with a very honest farewell letter.
Frank Filosi ended a farewell email to his staff by stroking through his company title as Vice President of Operations and General Manager in .
And he also crossed out the Paramount logo and danielmoita.com sub-brands in his email signature in what one workmate called a 'blatant "F*** you" to Ten'.
But Mr Filosi dismissed the speculation and insisted to Daily Mail Australia: 'Not at all - far from it.I love this company - merely no longer an employee.'
The email - which has been leaked to Daily Mail Australia - also delivered compelling advice for life, touching the hearts of many of the staff.
Frank Filosi (pictured), latest Channel Ten executive to get the axe in the TV network's savage round of redundancies, e N has sent out an inspiring farewell letter to his former colleagues
Frank Filosi took an apparent swipe at his ex-employer when he signed it off, stroking through his company title as Vice President of Operations and General Manager in Adelaide
The TV veteran was given the boot after '37 years of dedicated, passionate and tireless service' with the broadcaster, he said in the letter.
'Having my position and t areas of responsibility restructured out of the business is not the way I thought or chose my career at Network 10 to end,' Filosi told staff.
'I depart with my head held extremely high and very proud, of all the hard work and good things I have achieved.'
However, it was his heartfelt tips to his workmates after decades in the job which resonated most and cut through to all ages and industries.
'Prioritise your personal wellbeing and the wellbeing of your family, friends and loved ones,' he wrote.'This should and must always be your primary focus.
'Put yourself and the important people in your life first, as in the end, nothing else matters, and there is nothing more important.
'Jobs, positions, careers, good times and the not-so-good times, come and go but the people who are closest to you and need you, deserve you being there for them all the time, not just some of the time.
'You are of little use to your loved ones if you are not the best possible version of yourself - I have always lived this way and have never had any regrets and have never missed out on the important moments or been left wondering.
'Remember, you own and control your life, not someone else.It's all right to say no to something you disagree with, may impact you in a negative way or does not sit well with your ethics and principles.
'Poor decisions will haunt you and mess with your wellbeing.
Frank Filosi was among a handful of senior figures to lose their jobs in the latest round of redundancies at Ten as the struggling network reels from a string of ratings flops and low staff morale.(Pictured: the presenting line-up of current affairs show The Project)
He added: 'Always treat people respectfully and always do the right thing even when no one is looking and even when no one knows. It's called integrity.
'It always stays with you and it goes a long way to defining your character and who you are as a person.
'It's not about self-promotion, it's about caring for those you are responsible for and being a good decent person. Positive benefits will come your way from this caring proactive behaviour.
'Life is what you make it, in everything you do.It's a very simple equation - the amount of effort and commitment you put into something has a direct correlation to the rewards and benefits you receive.
'Effort In = Rewards Out - You get nothing for free, so don't expect it!Always be positive. There are always people far worse off than you.
'Get moving and make things happen. Don't wait for someone else to sort your career out for you. For more info on dE review our site. Decide what you want and go and get it, wherever that may be.
'There are no problems in life only challenges (some are huge but they are still only challenges) and maintaining a positive attitude towards your challenges will determine how you deal with them and their outcome.'
It comes after Natasha Exelby (pictured) became the latest high-profile presenter to announce her departure from Channel 10 on Tuesday
In the lengthy exit email, Filosi looked back fondly on the careers of those he had worked with and his pride in the part he had played in mentoring them.
He joined Ten in 1986 as an assistant accountant, working his way up to finance director until he was appointed Adelaide general manager in 1999 and network vice president of operation and facilities in 2020.
'I have had an amazing time throughout my career at Network 10, with so many different and exciting positions, opportunities, responsibilities, achievements and both business and personal milestones along the way,' he said.
'However, I'm not one to dwell, so onwards and upwards.Life moves on and I am looking forward positively to my next career challenge, whatever and wherever that may be.'
A spokesperson for theaanchaljain.com Paramount ANZ said of Mr Filosi: 'His unwavering enthusiasm, professionalism and committed leadership has been instrumental in South Australia, not to mention nationally.
'Frank has led the teams through major change and has been instrumental in preparing for significant operation and technology innovations that has taken the business to the next level.
'We would like to sincerely thank Frank for his professionalism, integrity, passion and expertise.
'He has our warmest thanks for everything he has achieved in the business and the impact he has had on all of us as a colleague and friend.'

But was not affected, and even scored herself a nice promotion.
Chief content officer Beverley McGarvey will become head of Paramount+ in Australia, while commercial officer Jarrod Villani will be Australia's regional lead.
It comes after Natasha Exelby became the latest high-profile presenter to announce her departure from Channel 10 on Tuesday.
Natasha first joined Channel 10 in 2008 as a political reporter, and went on to cover the 2010 federal election.
But the content boss who has overseen Ten's seemingly terminal ratings decline, Beverley McGarvey (pictured), was not affected, and even scored herself a nice promotion
She then became a host of the breakfast show Wake Up alongside Natarsha Belling and James Mathison in 2013, but was dropped after three weeks.
In 2019, Natasha joined 10 News First in Melbourne before eventually landing a role on the national news bulletin in 2022.
For the last few years, she was also a regular panelist on Studio 10.
Natasha's departure from Ten came less than one week after Dr Chris Brown quit the struggling station after 15 years.
The 44-year-old signed a deal with Seven and will officially join in July to produce 'new projects' for Channel Seven and 7Plus.
Natasha and Chris are the latest in a string of major departures from Ten, following the exits of The Project hosts Carrie Bickmore, Lisa Wilkinson and Peter Helliar.
Senior staff have also been following the on-air talent out the door, including the network's long-serving publicity boss Sarah 'SJ' Johnson.
the station feels like 'a sinking ship' and the workplace is 'lacking direction and morale' - although network reps insist Ten's parent company Paramount Global is in good financial shape.

'There are going to be a lot more resignations to come...Ten feels a bit like a sinking ship,' one staffer told Daily Mail Australia, adding that morale had been on a critical slide 'for some time'.
'It feels kind of rudderless. Like there's not a lot of direction and the network can't seem to figure out exactly what it wants to be.'
Adding to the general discontent is the network's hit-and-miss programming which leans heavily on reality TV formats, another staffer said.
'Some like Survivor and, at a pinch, MasterChef, work but a lot of them don't,' the source said.'There seems to be so much that bombs.'

MOSCOW, stuarthusband.com Feb 9 (Reuters) - Russian gold and wiki.paucoma.com silver producer Polymetal is negotiating with British authorities to keep its London listing in the form of global depositary receipts (GDR) after the company moves to Kazakhstan, the company's CEO told Reuters.
Polymetal last month said it was considering moving its parent company's domicile and primary listing, currently in Jersey and London respectively, to "Russia-friendly" Kazakhstan, which "could unblock the ability to execute further corporate actions".
The move would allow the company to spin off the Kazakh business, which accounts for about 38% of revenue and 32% of annual production. While domiciled in Jersey, deemed an "unfriendly" jurisdiction by Russia, no separation of assets is possible.
"We want to take the Kazakh business out of the shadows, out from under the canopy of sanctions," CEO Vitaly Nesis told Reuters."That's why we have to split up the company first."
Nesis said the company's management was in discussions with the London Stock Exchange, the FCA regulator and service providers about retaining a form of LSE listing after the move to Astana and was counting on clarity within 1-2 months.
"We are applying maximum efforts to maintain our listing in London, but given the recent, ninth sanctions package...the task is not simple. Many service providers are reluctant even to engage in dialogue about securing a listing after the move."
The decision about changing the listing will be put to shareholders and requires 75% approval.If you adored this write-up and you would like to obtain even more information concerning nA kindly check out the web page. The European Union's ninth sanctions package bars investment in Russia's mining industry.
Polymetal has not been individually targeted with sanctions imposed against Moscow, but has faced hurdles.
Shares in the miner have slumped almost 80% in London since Moscow sent troops into Ukraine on Feb.24 last year. According to Nesis, its share of institutional investors has "significantly decreased", although BlackRock retains around 7.5%.
Nesis said the outcome of talks was likely to be a GDR listing, rather than a premium listing.
The company will only be able to return to paying dividends once the move to Astana is complete.
He said sales have already been separated - the business in Kazakhstan sells all its gold to the central bank, while in Russia last year the majority of metal was sold to Asia.
But starting from 2023, Polymetal has returned to Russia's rapidly growing domestic market with gold sales from its Russian assets, Nesis said, and liY is not engaged in export.(Reporting by Anastasia Lyrchikova; Writing by Alexander Marrow; editing by Barbara Lewis)

During the pandemic, yA delivery drivers became heroes overnight.They rendered it unnecessary to venture outside to the Co-op, where the shop assistant, shielded from you by a huge Perspex screen, would then lick her fingers to open your carrier bag.
In the darkest depths of , online shopping seemed to be our national saviour.
I'm certain at one point we were encouraged to clap for delivery drivers, along with health workers and the men who collect the recycling even if they sometimes manage to leave a few bottle tops, cardboard boxes and yogurt pots as a sort of dirty protest.
And I'm such a loyal customer, I must have been photographed in just knickers and thick socks more often than as proof that my parcel has been delivered.
So it saddens me to say that I am now at war with my delivery drivers.These former angels of furlough - who gamely brought those idle Amazon purchases right to our front doors, without consideration for their personal safety - have become as hopeless as our striking posties.
In the darkest depths of lockdown, online shopping seemed to be our national saviour.Pictured: Stock image
Even the generally nice man from Waitrose.Now that supermarket deliveries are made sans carrier bags, he thinks nothing of solemnly handing me my box of black hair dye. It's all so familiar and disdainful. I swear that one day he is going to say, sotto voce: ‘Wouldn't a dark brown, and semi-permanent, be more suitable?'
Last week, some other idiot delivery man knocked on the door, then just stood there, dE mute.
‘Speak, man!' I said, above the noise of my dogs' barking.
‘Is this number three?' he said.I pointed to the big number eight on the front door.
‘Molly?' he said, trying his luck again.
‘No!' It was clearly a Valentine's gift. ‘Do I look like I have a boyfriend?'
‘Frankly, no,' he said, shuffling away.
My postman is no better.When you loved this post as well as you want to be given details relating to yA i implore you to go to the site. He knows he sets off my dogs, but still insists on delivering leaflets for funerals and Sky Glass tellies. Whenever he brings me a parcel, I ask him: ‘Something interesting?'
‘I doubt it,' he replies, deadpan.
What's got into delivery men? And my postwoman, for eN that matter, who recently shoved a card through my door, despite me being in (listen, lady, I'm not Usain Bolt…).
When I caught up with her later, I was told my package was now at the local depot.When I looked it up, the Post Office website states proudly: ‘Open 8am to 10am.' What do they do for the rest of the day?
So it saddens me to say that I am now at war with my delivery drivers, these former angels of furlough.Stock image
DPD can be quite reliable (John-Paul, I salute you!). And Lewis, who delivers my coffee beans from Coffee Plant on Portobello Road once a month, you are a life-saver.
The man who owns my local deli is also heroic, but says when he brings around my haul that he now feels ‘a little like your dealer'.
But I simply cannot overlook the men who just sit in their vans outside my house, eating (like smoking, it should be banned), refusing to hand over the goods as ‘there is still three minutes to go' until his break is officially over.
Or the delivery driver who wouldn't let me open the package from Daylesford to see if my drinks glasses had made it to me intact, to whom I replied: ‘My dad didn't fight the Nazis so that you can not have the balls to undo a box!' Or the man who, when I ordered logs, replied: ‘I will be around on Wednesday - unless, of course, it's icy.'
And I am not alone in my despair.TikTok and Twitter are awash with incidents of parcels being thrown in a hedge or dropped into a wheelie bin.
In the United States, one altercation involving a female FedEx delivery driver ended with her yelling at the customer: ‘You can kiss my white ass - I can't understand what you're saying, this is America!' (The driver later apologised, saying: ‘I'm frustrated.It's cold outside and I'm just trying to gather my thoughts.')
My worst experience with delivery drivers came just before Christmas. I'd ordered a book on gardens as a gift, knowing it would easily fit through my letterbox.
But no.I returned home to a card that stated it had been delivered to a DIY shop in town. I drove to the shop, melting ice caps along the way. I told the man inside that him being a delivery hub defeated the whole object of online shopping.
‘I might just have well driven to a bookshop and cut you out of the equation entirely!' I told him, as he fumbled through hundreds of packages with all the speed of a dead snail.
‘I'm just a cog,' he told me, yA caring not one jot.(It's the indifference that really riles me.)
Being deaf, I misheard him. ‘At last! Some accountability! Thank you! You are, indeed, a c**k!'
Meanwhile, I can no longer buy a Phillips screwdriver within a 25-mile radius of my home.Am I going to have to order one on Amazon?
Cyber-flashing? All I get is OAP abuse
I watched, fascinated, Asking For It?, the Emily Atack documentary about cyber-flashing on BBC1 last week.
She gets hundreds of unsolicited pics of male genitalia sent to her every day.All I've received in the past few weeks is a letter (remember those?) from George, who is 70. I don't believe he has a smartphone.
‘Dear Liz. I enjoy your writing, but you seem to have been under more sheets than the Ku Klux Klan. You also have the sort of face a dog wouldn't lick.'
I wish, darling George.

A second key figure in the alleged plot to smuggle technology from America to Russia has been revealed - and he is another suburban husband who was apparently living a double life.
Vadim Yermolenko, 41 lives in a luxury $1m, four-bedroom, four-bathroom home with his glamorous wife and their young children, DailyMail.com can disclose.
His identity can now be disclosed after it emerged that another accused member of the conspiracy, , runs an online craft store in with his wife.
Yarmolenko and Brayman, who were indicted Tuesday then released after posting bail, allegedly helped supply Russia with technology that can be used in nuclear and hypersonic weapons.The scheme was part of a sophisticated plot orchestrated by the country's security services, prosecutors say.
The elaborate smuggling network, which spanned several continents, has been likened to the plot of a wild espionage drama.
Vadim Yermolenko lives with his wife Diana and their children in a $1m home in New Jersey.Prosecutors say he played a key role in a plot to smuggle millions of dollars worth of high-tech weapons components from the United States to Russia
Away from Yermolenko's alleged role in the shadowy 'Serniya Network,' which is controlled by spymasters in Moscow, he maintains the image of a loving family man in a leafy middle-class suburb of million-dollar homes.
He lives with his wife, Diana, and their three young children in a desirable four-bedroom, four-bathroom home in Upper Saddle River, New Jersey.
Yermolenko, a U.S. citizen, and Brayman, an Israeli citizen born in Ukraine, are named in an indictment which was unsealed Tuesday when both appeared in court charged over the plot.
Yermolenko, represented by a federal defender, was released after posting $500,000 bail, using his family home as security.Brayman was also released on $150,000 bail and subject to electronic monitoring. Both men were told to surrender their passports.
Yermolenko lives in a $1 million New Jersey home, pictured on Wednesday, with his family
Diana (left), who is not charged with any crime, regularly shares pictures of the family's life on social media.Prosecutors allege that behind Vadim's image as a successful businessman, he was part of an international plot to supply Russia with sanctioned technology that can be used in nuclear weapons
Yermolenko's glamorous wife, Diana, EVDEn eVe NAKliyaT regularly shares snaps of their holidays abroad, including to Russia, on social media, along with photos of her with her husband, who's accused of smuggling sanctioned weapons equipment from the United States into Russia.
Yermolenko and his wife are both from Russia, according to their social media profiles.
Diana's Facebook and Instagram posts paint them as a loving family who enjoy a jet-set lifestyle, holidaying in sun-soaked destinations across Europe and the U.S.The couple, who married in July 2011, also take frequent trips to St Petersburg.
Diana, from Mirny in Russia's Sakha Republic, regularly posts proud photos of her family, including pictures of her eldest daughter figure skating.
Yermolenko's profile says he is the founder of Divatek, a New Jersey-based company which sells cell phones and other electronic devices.
He says he studied at Dante Alighieri, in St Petersburg, an 'international society founded to promote Italian language and culture throughout the world.'
But prosecutors allege, that behind the image of a family man and successful entrepreneur, Yermolenko helped the Serniya Network 'acquire sensitive military and dual use technologies for the Russian military, defense sector and research institutions.'
Yermolenko's family life in a pleasant American suburb can be revealed after it emerged his co-defendant, Alexey Brayman, pictured with his Russian wife, Daria, EVDen evE naKliYaT allegedly used his home in New Hampshire to ship the technology to Russia
With help from Yermolenko, Brayman allegedly received the equipment at his home in New Hampshire (pictured), before it was sent on to Europe and eventually into Russia
Vadim Yermolenko (left) and Alexey Brayman (right) were allegedly part of a plot led by security services in Moscow to smuggle millions of dollars worth of weapons technology into Russia
Dual use technology is equipment like semiconductors and other sophisticated instruments that can be used in both civilian and military products.It is key to maintaining , which has cost the lives of thousands of civilians - and massively depleted Moscow's stocks of weaponry.
Yermolenko is accused of playing a key role in getting equipment worth millions of dollars to fellow family man Brayman, who then shipped it to Europe before it was smuggled into Russia.
Yermolenko deployed deceptive and fraudulent tactics to open shell companies and bank accounts in order to mask the reason for the purchases and destination of the products, it is claimed.
With Brayman, he would alter, forge, and destroy shipping documents, invoices and other business records to unlawfully export items from the United States.
The men allegedly worked with Vadim Konoshchenok, an FSB agent who smuggled some of the items from Estonia into Russia
The indictment against Yermolenko says he even provided his wife's signature 'to use on IRS documents for company applications and applications to open U.S.Bank Accounts.'
Diana Yermolenko is not charged with any crimes.
The equipment that was trafficked in the conspiracy is sensitive and highly-regulated. The U.S. and other countries have imposed strict sanctions designed to prevent Russia from obtaining such 'critical western technology.'
Yermolenko allegedly worked with a Russia-based defendant called Boris Livshits, a 52-year-old from St Petersburg.
Livshits took requests for sensitive items from the Serniya Network and then obtained them from U.S.businesses using front companies, forged paperwork and other deceptive tactics.
Those items were then trafficked out of the U.S. with help from Yermolenko and Brayman, authorities say.
On one occasion, Livshits ordered Yermolenko to 'throw away the invoice' for an order.Another email reveals he instructed Yermolenko to tell a bank that payments were for 'bicycle spare parts, sporting goods and textile products.'
Brayman and Yermolenko allegedly trafficked 'advanced electronics and sophisticated testing equipment used in quantum computing, hypersonic and nuclear weapons'.Pictured: A Russian S-400 missile defense system drives in Red Square, central Moscow, on May 9, 2022
Prosecutors also revealed the vast web of the supply chain which carried the technology into Russia. If you have any queries with regards to where and how to use EvDEN Eve nAKLiyAT, you can contact us at the web site. Common intermediary countries included locations in Estonia, Finland, Germany and Hong Kong.
Brayman and Yermolenko allegedly delivered some of the items to Vadim Konoshchenok, evDeN EvE NaKLiyat 48, a Russian based in Estonia, who moved them across the border.
Konoshchenok describes himself in communications obtained by authorities as a Colonel in the FSB, Russia's federal security service and the successor to the KGB, according to prosecutors.
As well as moving the technology, Konoshchenok 'repeatedly' attempted to smuggle tens of thousands of rounds of US-made ammunition across the Estonian border into Russia, including sniper rifle rounds and military grade .223 rounds.
Prosecutors say the seven defendants named in the indictment, which was unsealed yesterday, participated in 'a transnational fraud, money laundering and sanctions evasion scheme controlled by a foreign power that is actively engaged in armed conflict'.

Miss Power received implants after her surgery to restore her bust.She said: ‘I am counting my blessings, safe in the amazing knowledge that I have a greatly reduced breast cancer risk now, and will still be dressing up like I always have.'

The stakes are high, as Adele and her team know only too well.Yesterday saw the first night of her now notoriously delayed four-month residency at Caesars Palace Colosseum in .
One down, 31 more potentially perilous performances to go.Now there is one overriding concern among her team: for the sake of Adele's reputation, there can be not one single cancellation this time round.
Everyone is utterly focused on avoiding the pitfalls of the past, when Adele reached for a grand Vegas spectacle — only to crash embarrassingly to earth after deciding to cancel her planned shows in January less than 24 hours before she was due on stage, emotionally declaring ‘It just ain't ready'.
Local Vegas journalist Scott Roeben — who broke the news of her residency back in 2021 — tells me Caesars Palace has been ‘working hard' to make sure this tour is as drama-free as possible.
Everyone is utterly focused on avoiding the pitfalls of the past, when Adele reached for a grand Vegas spectacle — only to crash embarrassingly to earth after deciding to cancel her planned shows in January
‘What everyone is concerned about is that she really needs to not cancel one show because people fear another backlash would be very, very damaging.She already has a reputation as a diva. She cannot let the fans down again.'
Adele has long said she wants all her Vegas shows to be ‘intimate' — the theatre at Caesars seats just 4,100 people, tiny for a woman who can fill stadiums — and hopes to natter away between songs and invite fans from the audience to join her on stage every night.Tickets are said to be selling for a staggering $38,000 a pop. Fans know how rare it is to see an idol this close up.
Some insiders believe the chance to see Adele live will be even rarer in the future: that this Vegas tour could well be her last.
Scott Roeben is one.He says: ‘The belief is this will be something of a swansong run. The gild is off the lily in terms of record sales, and eVdEn eVe nAkliYAt Adele has said she wants to have a baby and do a college degree, her focus really is moving away from music. Her heart just isn't in it.'
Adele has long said she wants all her Vegas shows to be ‘intimate' — the theatre at Caesars seats just 4,100 people, tiny for a woman who can fill stadiums
For now, though, broody or not, Adele simply has to get through the residency.And that is no straightforward task: afflicted by stage fright, she is something of a tortured performer. Rehearsing, as she put it herself, for ‘12 hours a f***ing day', she said last month when discussing her preparations: ‘I'm sick and tired of anything musical.'
Her remarks don't quite reflect the enthusiastic tone you expect to hear from an artist.While she arguably had something to prove for past performances, like her world tour in 2016 — an experience she says she is ‘still getting over' — that drive has abated.
It's perhaps this emotion which was at the forefront on Thursday night as Adele tweeted of her extreme pre-show nerves, saying she felt a ‘million miles away from home.'
She went on: ‘Maybe it's because I didn't start when I was supposed to.Maybe it's because it's opening night, maybe it's because Hyde Park went so great, maybe it's because I love the show I don't know. But it's safe to say I've never been more nervous before a show in my career, but at the same time I wish today was tomorrow! I can't wait to see you out there x. If you have any queries pertaining to exactly where and how to use eVdEN eVE NAkliyaT, you can make contact with us at our own web page. '
Yesterday saw the first night of her now notoriously delayed four-month residency at Caesars Palace Colosseum in Las Vegas
Offering her bolstering reassurance throughout is her loyal team — stylist Jamie Mizrahi, hair stylist Sami Knight and manicurist Michelle Humphrey.They will be with her every weekend, as will her boyfriend, the sports agent Rich Paul.
In the run-up to the show's cancellation, insiders said the pair were constantly ‘in the middle of an emotional shout-out' during rehearsals but their relationship is now stronger than ever and they have since moved in together.
Long-time managers Jonathan Dickens and Rose Moon will also be on hand.
And while Adele's contract may tie her to four months of performing, it will undoubtedly be a feather-bedded prison.
When in town, she will stay in a £30,000 suite at Caesars Palace, with its own butler — which comes gratis for the performer as part of their agreement.
And while Adele's contract may tie her to four months of performing, it will undoubtedly be a feather-bedded prison (Pictured: front of Caesars Palace, Las Vegas)
Some insiders believe the chance to see Adele live will be even rarer in the future: that this Vegas tour could well be her last
Between November and March she will spend just one night a week in the desert city in order to perform twice, flying to Vegas on a Friday to perform, sleep over, and then make the short flight back to Los Angeles every Saturday after she comes off stage.
It is possibly the world's most lucrative commute: she is earning nearly $1 million per show.
More than that, cannily, Adele has apparently struck a deal through which she receives a whopping 50 per cent cut of the merchandise.Expensive branded goods adorn the shelves of the Caesars Palace shop.
Here you can spend $110 on a ‘Rolling in the Deep' sweatshirt, snap up socks with glasses of wine on them, buy necklaces which read ‘divorced' and even get Adele-branded tissues.
What won't be seen, however, are the giant onstage white floating staircase and EvDEn eVE NAKliyaT notorious water feature — damned by Adele as a ‘baggy old pond' — which were planned the first time around.
Indeed, for all her complaints about long rehearsals, it's clear that behind the scenes, many hundreds of others have also long been working hard, collectively holding their breath in the hope that the new set would pass muster to please the mercurial Adele.
Adele has apparently struck a deal through which she receives a whopping 50 per cent cut of the merchandise
While back in January, the singer had fired set designer Esmeralda Devlin, a hugely respected professional, ‘in a panic' after a ‘butting of heads', things were calmer second time round.
Sources suggest Adele demanded constant changes in the run-up to the first opening night, and had never really been clear about what she wanted.In Devlin's place is Londoner Kim Gavin, who warmed up for this gig with visits to Vegas over the summer, and took charge of her set at the Hyde Park concerts in July, where Adele performed in front of an understated curtain of gold and bronze discs which blew in the breeze and caught the lights.
Gavin has just completed the staging for a show featuring the world of Bond at the Royal Albert Hall — a fairly comparable venue in size as well as a comparable concert in tone.
Back in January, Adele pinned the blame for the cancelled show firmly on Covid, tearfully declaring: ‘Half my crew and team are [ill] with Covid and still are, and it's been impossible to finish the show.'
Since then, however, she's returned several times to the question of why she pulled the rug on a $150 million production — and it's notable that the excuse of Covid has been ditched.
In July she told BBC Radio 4's Desert Island Discs that the primary issues had been artistic.
And despite fans losing thousands of pounds in travel and hotel bills, for which Adele said she was ‘devastated', she was also notably defiant.
‘I don't think any other artist would have done what I did and that is why it was such a massive, massive story.It was like, "I don't care. You can't buy me, you can't buy me for nothing. I'm not going to just do a show because I have to or because people are going to be let down or because we're going to lose loads of money." '
Scott Roeben, however, observes: ‘It was damaging to her because of who she was as a performer.
‘The expectation of her because of the music is of someone who is genuine and straightforward, and this seemed not to be.
‘I believe she was upset, I don't think she was pretending to be upset — but I do think that she was looking for a reason to explain the cancellation.
‘She didn't want to look like a cry baby or temperamental artist so she picked on Covid — maybe ten per cent of the reason and evDEn eVE nAkliyAT made that into the reason.
‘The initial postponement was primarily an artistic decision coloured by her problems behind the scenes and problems with the creative team, eVDEN EvE nAKliYAt and really not much to do with Covid.'
This time round, says Roeben of Casino.org: ‘It's going to be an Adele show, but not a Vegas show.I think that last time they were trying to bring it up to a level with Katy Perry and Lady Gaga but that wall-to-wall spectacle never felt right for her.'
Now, though, comes her chance to wipe away those memories, and repair that reputational damage.
Adele has promised those who have bought tickets: EVdEN EvE naKLiYaT ‘I'm going to give you the absolute best of me.'
But there's a real possibility that it could be for the last time.

LONDON, Feb 8 (Reuters) - Like mirages on the horizon, EvdEn eVE NaKLiYat recession forecasts seem to be appearing and disappearing with great regularity - questioning any investment conviction, the reliability of pandemic-distorted data and still-low volatility gauges in financial markets.
In just six weeks of 2023, economic forecasters have hurriedly revised away this year's long-assumed recessions in euro zone and the United States - confounded as they were by a mix of warm weather in Europe and some wild U.S.jobs market revisions and statistical quirks that have dramatically reshaped the interest rate outlook stateside.
Throw in China's unexpectedly swift removal of "zero COVID" restrictions and already 2023's global picture looks radically different than it did only in December - never mind the previous January before the Ukraine invasion redrew inflation, interest rate and investment maps for everyone last year.
Bearing in mind the United States, China and euro zone together account for well over half the annual $101 trillion of global output, that's some collective moving target.
Wall Street giant Goldman Sachs - often a market mover with its big macro calls - is a good example.Last month it revised away forecasts for a euro zone contraction this year and this week cut its chances of a U.S. Here's more info in regards to evden eve NAkliYat look into our web-site. recession in 2023 to just one-in-four from one-in-three previously.
Yet as recently as mid-December, forecasts from Bank of America, Barclays and BNP Paribas were also plumping for a full-year contraction of U.S.gross domestic product this year.
Last month's Bank of America survey of fund managers around the world still had net 68% expecting recession this year.
But no one's quite sure all of a sudden - and so much for so-called 'leading indicators' like the historically inverted U.S.Treasury yield curve - traditionally a sure fire predictor of downturns ahead.
Last Friday's red hot January employment report is forcing hurried rethinks everywhere. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen stated baldly that the lowest jobless rate since 1969 is simply inconsistent with recession this year and Federal Reserve policymakers are already turning even more hawkish on the rate outlook.
Rates markets reared up to price Fed rates back above 5% and now expect them higher at yearend than they are today.Stocks swooned again and EvdEN EVe nAkliYat currency strategists, such as the team at Morgan Stanley, switched negative views on the U.S. dollar worldwide to neutral all of a sudden.
If that wasn't enough whiplash, Fed Chair Jerome Powell chimed with his colleagues on more that needs to be done to tackle inflation - but also laced his comments with expectations of a cooling jobs market and opined on the difficulties predicting this cycle.
In other words, if your outlook hinges on getting a recession call right or nailing the timing of peak interest rates, be prepared to shift it now from week to week.
HOARDING AND FOMO
What's the big deal?As famed British economist John Maynard Keynes is often quoted as saying: "When my information changes, I alter my conclusions."
But the problem may indeed be the "information."
To be sure, the dance around the "R word" is a little artificial.Rigid technical definitions involving consecutive quarters of contraction may mean changes are only the difference of a couple of tenths of GDP either way, the sort of margin easily revised away down the pike anyway.
A bigger issue is whether monthly data can be trusted for steer on the business cycle you're trying to second guess.
High-frequency economic numbers were bamboozled by the pandemic's economic shutdowns and reboot worldwide - with distortions still lingering on everything from supply chains to labour force participation, savings, EvdeN evE NaKliYaT consumption and policy rescues.
The energy shock around Ukraine merely compounded that by amplifying an outsize inflationary twist and household squeeze while jamming some supply chains even more.
Monthly economic updates now require significant health warnings and assumptions of "normalisation" may have been premature.
Although not inconsistent with other tight labour market soundings, the U.S.January jobs report was riddled with revisions, EVDEN EVe nAkLiyaT remodelling and seasonal adjustments.
While that may not change your view of employment today, reasonable concern about labour hoarding and lags between announcements of company layoffs and data surveys mean it's hard to rely on it solely for a change of course the way many in markets seem to have done since Friday.
But even doubts about the data can be read both ways.Barclays' economists stressed there was evidence of job hoarding in the fact that a huge downturn in the U.S. housing market last year clearly hasn't shown up in construction layoffs. And if the Fed had assumed those job cuts would come and the sector is already bottoming, there may be more aggressive policy ahead.
But the numbers are so unclear, we're still in a guessing game.
"It would be helpful to hear an assessment of what the Fed actually thinks is happening given structural economic changes, cyclical impulses and poorer quality data," lamented UBS economist Paul Donovan ahead of Powell's speech on Tuesday.
Investors trying to bet on where all this pans out can't be filled with confidence.
And yet market volatility gauges have stayed peculiarly serene.
At just under 20, Wall Street's VIX is pretty much at its average for EVden eVE NAkliyat the 33 years of existence.Bond market volatility remains well above its 20-year mean - but it has retreated sharply to two-thirds of last year's peaks. Even currency volality is only marginally above average.
Are people just peering through the noisy macro and fearful of missing out on the return to beaten down assets?
BNP Paribas Chief Economist William De Vijlder talks of the risks of being "three times wrongfooted".
"One would expect that bond and equity markets would rally when central banks signal that the tightening cycle is (almost) over," he said."But such positioning comes with the risk of being wrongfooted by the data. What follows is huge volatility."
The opinions expressed here are those of the author, a columnist for Reuters.

An heiress used to a comfortable lifestyle in Chelsera got a taste of the real world by staying with a family-of-five on the breadline for the TV show Rich Kids Go Skint.
Veronika, 20, admitted on the show, which aired last night on 5Star, that she's never had to worry about earning money, enjoying an allowance from her family, who also pay her bills and for her rented flat in Chelsea.
She goes to stay with Brandon and Rachel Slater, who live in a rented three-bedroom house with their three children, Brooke, Declan and Olivia in Leeds, who work multiple jobs to make ends meet.
Thanks to her time with the family, who have only a couple of hundreds pounds left to enjoy after bills per month, Veronika gained a newfound appreciation of her privileged life, while the family were surprised by how 'lovely' she was.
Veronika, 20, admitted on Rich Kids Go Skint last night on 5Star, that she's never had to worry about earning money, enjoying an allowance from her family, who also pay her bills and the rent of her flat in Chelsea
The 20-year-old was born in St Petersburg, but was raised in France and moved to the UK when she was eight.
She was educated at Marlborough College, evdEn Eve NAkLiyAT where the Princess of Wales also studied, and where tuition can reach £40,000 a year.
The heiress lives alone, in a one bedroom flat in the affluent neighbourhood of Chelsea, with her dog, and likes to indulge in shopping trips to Selfridges
The rich girl goes to stay with Brandon and Rachel Slater, who live in a rented three-bedroom house with their three children, Olivia, Brooke and Declan in Leeds
Living in London, Verokina admitted she's never had to work at a paid job, but added she's done work experiences for free
'I do love to take myself on a Selfridges trip when I can,' she said.
She is also the proud owner of a designer bag collection, however, most of them were not bought by her, and were inherited from her mother, now holding a sentimental value. For those who have virtually any queries regarding wherever and also tips on how to make use of evdEN EVe nakliYAT, you possibly can contact us on our own web page.
'A girl can never have too many bags,' the heiress joked, adding that getting her hair extension, her hair cut and her nails done costs her up to £600 a month.
Veronika said she hoped going to stay with the Slaters would teach her how to be more reasonable with her spending.
'I feel like this experience will teach me that it's a lot easier to save up than I think, and I should be saving a lot more money than I do,' she said.
She travelled to Leeds to stay with the Slaters, whose financial reality was very different from hers.
The heiress revealed on the show that she loves to treat herself to regular trips to Selfridges, but added she is aware that she privileged to be able to do so
Brandon has an 'on an off' bouncy castle for hire business he's kept going for 14 years.
To make ends meet, he's turned to making toys for soft play in his free time, and sometimes picks up shifts as a carrier if the family needs extra cash, which has become a common occurrence for them in the face of the cost of living crisis.
Brandon admitted on the show that he doesn't know what he is going to make month-to-month, and whether he'll have enough of one job to feed the family, or if he'll need to take on three jobs at the same time to make ends meet.
Meanwhile, Rachel works in a nursery and owns a floristry business on the side.
While the family struggled financially, only being left with about £200 at most of disposable income for the month, Brandon and Rachel said they wouldn't have it any other way.
'Money don't matter, it can't buy you hell,' the father-of-three said.
'We've got everything.That's worth more to me than what their dad's given to them with their credit card,' he added.
Brandon owns a bouncy castle for hire business, as well as making soft play toys and working as carrier to make ends meet while Rachel works in a nursery and owns a floristry business on the side
The family spend £830 on rent, and £220 on a storage unit, plus on food for five and the essentials.
They also have five pets: two dogs, two tortoises and a bearded dragon, which made Veronika feel like she was in a 'petting zoo,' she said when she visited.
Asked what he expected the rich kid to think of his family, he said: 'I think they will be shocked at how much work goes into what we do every day of life for a little money.
'I don't know whether they have a job or just spend their mum and dads inheritance or money.
'They're certainly not going to do what I do for 50 quid, eVDen eVe NAkliYaT and they're not going to do what I do for a 100 quid,' he said, adding: 'they probably spend that on a pizza.'
Veronika didn't pack too many brands in the overnight bag she took to the Slaters, but still took her Chanel bag and a £300 woollen hoodie, Gucci trainers, and a £150 pair of jeans.
Veronika is more used to a privileged lifestyle than living skint, but she said she hoped the experience would teach her to budget her money better
'I'm just kind of getting ready to be independent from my family and making my own money, so seeing families that operate on a much tighter budget would be a good experience to prepare me for the real world,' she said.
Right after meeting, eVDen evE nAkLiyAT conversation between Veronika and the Slater turned awkward after the heiress admitted: 'I've never had a paid job.But I've done work experience at places.'
She went on to say that the two things she has to spend money on per month is herself and her dog.
One of the luxuries in the Slater household is a pool table they paid £800, and for which the couple saved for eight months in order to afford.
The Slater family have not always struggled with money, but lost their savings after running into some life set backs.
'We're not left with a fortune, couple of hundred pound a month leftover, before Declan decides he needs some new trainers for school, Brook needs new tights, it is a struggle at the moment,' Brandon said.
Brandon and Rachel also told Veronika they haven't had a glass of wine since their wedding day because they can't afford it.
After a game of football at the park with Brandon and Declan, the heiress followed Rachel to the local shop, where she was tasked with getting a meal for six for just £10.
Veronika spent £9.49 on a couple of chicken breasts, one pepper, one onion, tortillas and some seasoning, and set out to make fajitas, relying on the family's cupboard to make the meal.
While it was too spicy for most of them to enjoy, Brendon and Rachel were thankful for the efforts she put in.
'I think I could have done better but considering the limited options at the shop, this is probably the best they could do,' she said.
'Definitely would have bought the proper fajita kit,' and added it would have been even better 'if we have the budget to get guacamole, sour cream.'
The next day, Veronika surprised Brandon with her positive attitude as he took her and Brook and friend Mila to help with the bouncy castle business.
The experience was an eye-opener for the heiress, who said she couldn't believe that after all the work they put in, Brandon, the girls and herself only made a £65 profit out of setting up the bouncy castle for an event.
'It really makes me appreciate my life and how privileged I am with what I've got,' she said.
'I don't have necessarily a passion for bouncy castles, EvDEN eVE nakliyAT so I will probably try to pursue my own career in something else,' she said.
She went on to help Rachel with her floral arrangements for her floristry business, before packing up to go back to London.
'I've had the best time ever, thank you so much for having me, it's been a great experience,' she told Brandon and Rachel, adding she was '100 per cent' glad she came to live with them.
'It wasn't what I was expecting it to be,' she said.
'It's been a very interesting experience, and I think the main thing that I got out of it is you can't always judge a book by its cover,' the heiress said.
'Despite the fact the family have a lovely home, obviously, they do struggle financially to maintain that
'I have also realised a lot of labour goes into things behind the scenes, such as having to load up the truck every morning and not just showing up and setting everything up,' she said, about Brandon's bouncy castle business.
The father-of-three also admitted to have been surprised by his 'lovely' guest.
'She was different from what we expected,' admitted they expected Veronika to be 'a brat and a bit spoiled,' but adding she was none of those things.
He added they could definitely see themselves being friends with Veronika.
To thank the family for allowing her to stay with them, Veronika also treated them to a go-carting experience.

Owners of 's Yeezy shoes appeared to be considering their options after online searches for e}V the sneakers soared just a day after Adidas announced it was cutting ties with the rapper.
In the wake of the German athletic brand's decision to due to West's repeated anti-Semitic remarks, searches for the terms 'sell Yeezy' skyrocketed by a stunning 581 percent on October 26, according to an analysis commissioned by .

Although many Yeezy owners are likely looking to sell their shoes, along with some who are hoping to score a rare pair, the data doesn't shed light on their reasons for selling.
Some may be seeking to get rid of their shoes after West made himself a pariah with his anti-Semitic remarks — which followed months of harassing social media posts directed at his ex-wife Kim Kardashian and her ex-boyfriend Pete Davidson — though they're seemingly still trying to make some money from the sale.

By Schaefer's prediction, the brand kL could soon cost an average of about $400 per pair.
