For most actors, joining a massive comic book franchise comes with the obligation of taking on a grueling fitness regimen to get into superhero shape. ButEmma Corrin supcoming villainous turn in Deadpool Wolverine came with slightly different instructions. In a newvideo interview with British GQ, the nonbinary actor explained that they were excited about the challenge of working out for thefilm, but were told by Marvel executives that it wasn t necessary. This is funny because I did ask if I could have a personal trainer and they said no, Corrin said. They said I don t have to undergo any physical training. I was so ready to undergo a huge transformation but they were like, That s absolutely not required of you. Please stand down. I tried.

They cited Christoph Waltz s performance as Hans Landa in Quentin Tarantino s Inglorious Basterds as a key inspiration for the role. He s so disarmingly polite and nice and unaffected, and it s really creepy, Corrin said. It s all the more sinister because he doesn t need to do anything. . Corrin added that theircostar Ryan Reynoldsand director Shawn Levy constantly encouraged them to envision the character as a departure from previous comic book villains, which likely softened the blow of not getting a personal trainer. Ryan and Shawn pitched this idea, which I was totally on board with: We want this villain to not be a villain in the sense that you expect them to be. We want you to be so endeared by her, so charmed by her, and just when you think that maybe she s totally seen into your soul and you are going to be best friends for life, you re dead. .

Emma Corrin's upcoming role in Deadpool Wolverine will not require intense physical training, as Marvel executives want their character to be subtly unsettling, taking inspiration from Christoph Waltz's performance in Inglorious Basterds. Corrin's costar Ryan Reynolds and director Shawn Levy aim for a different approach to the villain character, focusing on charm and unpredictability rather than traditional malevolence.

President Yoon Sukyeol on Tuesday vetoed an act to appoint an independent special counsel to investigate alleged obstruction of an investigation into and the coverup of the death of a Marine in the line of duty. This was the 15th bill vetoed by Yoon and, as the first bill passed by the 22nd National Assembly, signaled a renewed veto standoff. Yoon exercised his veto that afternoon from Honolulu, Hawaii, by electronically authorizing a motion requesting parliamentary reconsideration that had been approved at a morning Cabinet meeting chaired by Prime Minister Han Ducksoo. It is rare for a veto to be exercised while abroad. Given the substantial truth and accountability identified by the police investigation, the results of which were announced yesterday, the act to appoint a special counsel to investigate the death of the marine in the line of duty, which the opposition party unilaterally pushed forward, should be withdrawn, the presidential office said regarding Yoon s veto. The act to appoint a special counsel was passed during a plenary session of the 22nd National Assembly, a move led by opposition parties, just 37 days after it was initially vetoed by Yoon during the 21st National Assembly. Yoon exercised his veto five days after the bill passed the National Assembly and four days after it was transferred to the government. As the veto deadline was July 20, the presidential office had considered exercising the veto after Yoon s return from the United States. However, it appears that the timing was moved up after the Gyeongbuk Provincial Police Agency decided the previous day not to seek charges against Lim Seonggeun, the former commander of the 1st Marine Division to which the deceased Marine belonged at the time of his death. Opposition parties strongly opposed the veto. Yoon Jongkun, a spokesperson for the Democratic Party of Korea, stated, President Yoon has squandered his last chance to regain the people s trust. This will mark the beginning of his administration s downfall. . The Rebuilding Korea Party, during a press conference held by all 12 of its members, declared, The Republic of Korea will not stand by as the president directly challenges public sentiment. We will make every effort to repass the bill. . By Jang Narye, staff reporter; Kang Jaegu, staff reporter. Please direct questions or comments to englishhani.co.kr

President Yoon Sukyeol vetoed a bill to appoint an independent special counsel to investigate the death of a Marine. This move, Yoon's 15th veto, sparked a conflict as it was the first bill of the 22nd National Assembly. Yoon exercised his veto from Honolulu, citing police findings as reason to withdraw the bill. Opposition parties strongly opposed the veto, signaling potential political turmoil ahead.

New York State dominated a list of the "worst tourist traps" in the United States. Do you agree?. 247 Wall Street recently named the "18 Worst Tourist Traps in America.". To craft its list, the website searched ten different travel blogs and websites. Four landmarks across New York State made the list. For all the news that the Hudson Valley is sharing make sure to followHudson Valley Post on Facebook,download theHudson Valley Post Mobile. Do you agree these landmarks are really "tourist traps?". Despite all four being labeled a tourist trap it doesn't mean you should "steer clear," 247 Wall Street states. "A lot of travelers can tell some pretty great stories of their experiences at a tourist trap. These places can, indeed, be memorymakers," 247 Wall Street states about "18 Worst Tourist Traps in America.". Another publication agrees with Times Square being a "tourist trap." The online language learning platformPreply, recently put out a survey of over 80 iconic locations around the globe to determine "The World's Most Stressful Tourist Traps.". Times Square is thebiggest tourist trap on the globe, according to research from Preply. "Its legendary status attracts approximately 330,000 people daily which some say makes it a stressful and overcrowded experience," Preply states. If you do travel to these landmarks, just know they appear to becrawling with bed bugs. Gallery Credit:Scott Clow. Keep Reading:. When it comes to bed bugs, New Yorkers are very concerned!

A daily update by email. Science news, great photos, sky alerts. When studying distantexoplanets or worlds orbiting other stars astronomers examine what they look like, how big and massive they are, what kind of atmosphere they have and more. But what about how theysmell? We now know that at one exoplanet, at least, really stinks at least according to our human sense of smell. On July 8, 2024, astronomers at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland,saidthat the Jupitersized exoplanet HD 189733 b smells like rotten eggs, thanks tohydrogen sulfidein its atmosphere. They used NASA sJames Webb Space Telescopeto make the observations. The researcherspublishedtheirpeerreviewedfindings inNatureon July 8, 2024. Discovered in 2005, HD 189733 b is a gas giant exoplanet about the same size as Jupiter. Only64 lightyearsfrom Earth, it is the closest knownhot Jupitertype exoplanet that transits in front of its star as seen from Earth. This makes it ideal for atmospheric study by astronomers. Hot Jupiters are gas giants that orbit very close to their stars, unlike Jupiter and Saturn in our solar system. The planet orbits 13 times closer to its star than Mercury does to our own sun. It orbits its star in only two days. The stinky exoplanet s atmosphere contains carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, oxygen and water. Since it is so close to its star, it is scorching hot, with deadly weather. Temperatures reach 1,700 degrees Fahrenheit 930 C and winds howl at 5,000 mph 8,000 kph. The extreme winds blow the glass sideways as it falls. But there s something else on HD 189733 b, which in fact makes up most of its atmosphere: hydrogen sulfide. This is why the planet smells so bad. Hydrogen sulfide is known for being a smelly gas. On Earth, it is one of many gases released byvolcanic eruptions. Scientists didn t know that they would find it on HD 189733 b, even though they predicted it should be there.Guangwei Fu, an astrophysicist at Johns Hopkins, was the lead author of the new study. He said:. Hydrogen sulfide is a major molecule that we didn t know was there. We predicted it would be, and we know it s in Jupiter, but we hadn t really detected it outside the solar system. We re not looking for life on this planet because it s way too hot, but finding hydrogen sulfide is a stepping stone for finding this molecule on other planets and gaining more understanding of how different types of planets form. Hydrogen sulfide is a central part of thesulfur cycle, thebiogeochemical cycleof sulfur on Earth. Sulfur is an essential part of that process, as Fu explained:. Sulfur is a vital element for building more complex molecules, and like carbon, nitrogen, oxygen and phosphate scientists need to study it more to fully understand how planets are made and what they re made of. Webb will help scientists detect and study suffer and hydrogen sulfide in other gas giant exoplanets, too. Fu said:. Say we study another 100 hot Jupiters and they re all sulfur enhanced. What does that mean about how they were born and how they form differently compared to our own Jupiter?. While Webb confirmed hydrogen sulfide on HD 189733 b, it also established a lack of methane. Astronomers had suspected that the planet likely wouldn t have much, if any, methane, due to its hot temperatures. Fu said:. We had been thinking this planet was too hot to have high concentrations of methane, and now we know that it doesn t. Webb also foundheavy metalsin similar amounts to those on Jupiter. In general, heavy metals are generally defined as metallic elements with relatively high densities,atomic weightsoratomic numbers. Fu said:. This Jupitermass planet is very close to Earth and has been very well studied. Now we have this new measurement to show that indeed the metal concentrations it has provide a very important anchor point to this study of how a planet s composition varies with its mass and radius. The finding is interesting, since, in our solar system, the ice giants Uranus and Neptune contain more heavy metals than the gas giants Jupiter and Saturn. Scientists say this means that Uranus and Neptune accumulated more ice, rock and other heavy elements relative to gases like hydrogen and helium when they were first forming. Since the amount of heavy metals on HD 189733 b is similar to Jupiter, this is consistent with what we know so far about how planets form. Fu added:. The findings support our understanding of how planets form through creating more solid material after initial core formation and then are naturally enhanced with heavy metals. The researchers now plan to study additional exoplanets and see how they compare to the stinky exoplanet HD 189773 b. Bottom line: Astronomers say that the giant stinky exoplanet HD 189733 b smells so bad like rotten eggs thanks to hydrogen sulfide in its atmosphere.

Astronomers discover that exoplanet HD 189733 b, the size of Jupiter, smells like rotten eggs due to hydrogen sulfide in its atmosphere. The planet, only 64 light years away, has scorching temperatures, extreme winds, and lacks methane but contains heavy metals, similar to Jupiter. This finding sheds light on planet formation and will aid in studying other exoplanets.

The Ghana Used Clothing Dealers Association GUCDA is urging Ghanaians to acknowledge the significant economic and social contributions of the nation's thriving secondhand clothing industry, locally known as "obroni wawu. "This call was made during a live LinkedIn session hosted by Channel One's Umaru Sanda Amadu and Brands and Communication Marketing Professional, Jannice Tagoe.The discussion focused on the social and environmental benefits of the secondhand clothing industry. GUCDA representatives emphasized that millions of Ghanaians rely on the affordable clothing provided by this market, which fulfills a basic need and drives significant economic activity.Additionally, women play a vital role in this sector, making up a substantial portion of the workforce.Addressing misconceptions that the secondhand trade is solely waste disposal, GUCDA's General Secretary, Edward Atobrah Binkley, clarified that less than 5 of imported clothing is waste. "GUCDA actively collaborates with stakeholders, including the Accra Metropolitan Assembly AMA and the Environmental Protection Agency EPA, to ensure the safety of Ghanaians and the environment. "GUCDA's industry report, authored by Stephen Odonkor of Metropolitan Research Education Bureau and Evolution International, and independent reports by GIZ confirm that waste levels are minimal, around just 2, in contrast to the misleading images circulated. Such narratives could lead to harmful regulations threatening millions of livelihoods," he stated.Binkley emphasized GUCDA's commitment to quality, stating "Importers adhere to strict standards, and collaboration with the Ghana Customs Service ensures compliance. Beyond affordability, we foster a circular economy. By reusing existing garments, we reduce the demand for resourceintensive new clothing, benefiting the environment," he added.Marlvin Owusu, an Executive Member of GUCDA, emphasized that the industry is dedicated to protecting the economy, preserving the environment, and promoting sustainability for the benefit of future generations.Established over four decades ago, GUCDA has been a steadfast advocate for the positive impacts of the secondhand clothing industry, which fuels economic growth, empowers countless individuals, and employs approximately 2.5 million Ghanaians.The Ghana Used Clothing Dealers Association calls for continued support of this vital industry.

There is no requirement to notify the office of Maine's longterm care ombudsmen when residents wander from residential care something that happened at least 115 times from 2020 to 2022. It looks like you do not have any active subscriptions. To get one,go to the subscriptions page. Brenda Gallant, Maine s longterm care ombudsman, said while there is no requirement that her office be alerted about these incidents called elopements she sometimes hears of them from an assisted housing facility, family member or another concerned person, or when the Department of Health and Human Services cites a facility. But The Monitor s recent reporting surprised her. We were not aware of the number of elopements from assisted housing, Gallant told The Monitor. The numbers are indicative of a need for providers to take steps to develop a plan to assure the safety of residents as required by regulation. . Arecent investigationby The Maine Monitor and ProPublica found that residents of Maine s Level IV residential care facilities generally known as assisted living facilities unsafely wandered away at least 115 times from 2020 to 2022. In the vast majority of those cases, the state never inspected the facilities, conducting only a desk review or no investigation at all. Only two cases one resulting in a death led to sanctions.Advertisement. Lindsay Hammes, a DHHS spokesperson, said investigators decide not to take action for a variety of reasons, including because a facility has moved to correct the underlying issue. The department takes seriously and investigates instances of elopement. A desk review is one type of investigation, Hammes said. Hammes also noted that the 115 cases of elopement found by The Monitor likely varied in severity, adding in a response this week that some may have been situations where residents may not have returned at the expected time. . In recent months, Gallant said DHHS s division of licensing and certification, which provides regulatory oversight of the state s medical and longterm care facilities, has been in touch with her office and medical providers to seek input on assisted housing regulations. She pointed to the upcoming rulemaking process as a chance to address questions of safety at assisted living facilities. In the months ahead, assisted housing regulations will go out to rulemaking with an opportunity for public comment and a required review by the Legislature. This will be critically important in strengthening protections for resident care, Gallant said. The needs of residents in assisted housing facilities have increased significantly over the years, making regulatory change a necessity. . Hammes said DHHS expects the updated regulations will be ready for legislative review in January, and may include updated provisions related to elopement incidents and reporting requirements.Advertisement. Rule revisions are based on input from DHHS, residents, providers, partners and the public, and seek to address areas within the system in need of oversight to ensure the health and safety of residents in these settings, Hammes said. Gallant noted that regulations are only a minimum standard, and ultimately it is up to facilities to ensure the safety of their residents. If a resident living in assisted housing is in danger of elopement, the facility must identify this risk in the service plan and take steps to protect the wellbeing and safety of the resident, Gallant said. This may involve increased staffing, frequent checks and staff training to engage and redirect residents who wander. Residents who are at risk of elopement should be cared for in a secure environment. . Rep. Dan Shagoury, a Democrat representing Hallowell, Manchester and West Gardiner who serves on the health and human services committee, told The Monitor he too was very surprised by the number of elopements at Level IV facilities. He said he would consider introducing legislation next session, if he is reelected in November, around the department s limited investigation of these incidents, but first he wants more information from DHHS about why it doesn t investigate every elopement it hears about. I like it when the department selfpolices, and they do that fairly often and pretty well but not always. .

Maine's long-term care ombudsman is alarmed by the 115 cases of residents wandering away from assisted living facilities between 2020 and 2022 with little oversight. The Department of Health and Human Services faces criticism for insufficient investigations, prompting discussions on strengthening regulations to ensure resident safety. Legislators and officials are considering introducing new legislation and rules to address these concerning lapses in care.

Chinese President Xi Jinping met with Hungary s Prime Minister Viktor Orban in Beijing yesterday, and the two sides exchanged indepth views on the Ukraine crisis. Orban briefed Xi on his recent visits to Ukraine and Russia. Xi expressed appreciation for Orban s efforts in promoting the political settlement of the Ukraine crisis and elaborated on China s relevant views and propositions. Xi stressed that an early ceasefire and a political settlement are in the interests of all sides, adding that the priority is to cool down the situation by observing the three principles of no expansion of the battlefield, no escalation of fighting, and no fanning by any party over the flames. Xi called on the international community to create conditions and provide support for the resumption of direct dialogue and negotiation between the two sides, saying that only if all major countries inject positive rather than negative energy, can a ceasefire in this conflict emerge as soon as possible. China has been actively promoting peace talks in its own way and encouraging and supporting all efforts conducive to a peaceful settlement of the crisis, he said, adding that the basic propositions of China and Hungary and the direction of their efforts are the same and that China is willing to stay in communication with Hungary and all relevant parties. Xi noted that during his successful state visit to Hungary two months ago, the bilateral relations were elevated to an allweather comprehensive strategic partnership for a new era, which gave new historical significance to the 75th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic ties this year and injected strong impetus into the highlevel development of ChinaHungary relations. Noting that the third plenary session of the 20th Communist Party of China Central Committee will be held next week, Xi said China will further deepen overall reform and promote highquality development and highlevel opening up, which will provide new opportunities and create new momentum for ChinaHungary cooperation. Xi said that the two countries should maintain highlevel exchanges, deepen political mutual trust, strengthen strategic communication and coordination, continue to firmly support each other, strengthen practical cooperation in various fields, advance highquality Belt and Road cooperation, and continue to enrich the bilateral allweather comprehensive strategic partnership for a new era to better benefit the people. He congratulated Hungary on assuming the rotating presidency of the European Union EU and said there is no geopolitical contradiction or fundamental conflict of interests between China and the EU. ChinaEU relations are of strategic significance and global influence and should maintain steady and sound development, Xi said, calling on the two sides to jointly respond to global challenges. Next year marks the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic ties between China and the EU, Xi said, adding that the two sides should stay committed to the correct path of bilateral partnership with cooperation as the defining trend, continue to promote twoway opening up, strengthen international coordination, and contribute to world peace, stability, development and prosperity. It is hoped that Hungary, as the holder of the rotating EU presidency, will play a positive role in promoting the sound and stable development of ChinaEU relations and facilitating constructive interactions, Xi added. Orban said that over the past two months, the two sides have earnestly implemented the important outcomes of President Xi s visit to Hungary, strengthened friendship and mutual trust, and laid a solid foundation for the future development of bilateral relations. In the face of the current turbulent international situation, China not only loves peace but has also put forward a series of constructive and important initiatives, proving with its own concrete actions that China is an important stabilizing force for world peace, Orban said. He added that Hungary highly appreciates and values China s role and influence and is willing to maintain close strategic communication and coordination with China. Hungary advocates strengthening cooperation with China and opposes forming exclusionary cliques and bloc confrontation, Orban said.Hungary is willing to take the rotating EU presidency as an opportunity to actively promote the sound development of EUChina relations, he said.

Friends Read Free. The Northern Territory NT Police have announced another curfew in the central Australian town of Alice Springs in the wake of a series of violent assaults in the remote community. The threeday public order will last from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. and apply to both adults and children. Declaring the curfew on Monday afternoon July 8, NT Commissioner Michael Murphy said the move aims to disrupt the behaviours associated with the harm we re seeing in the outback town. A litany of serious incidents unfolded over the weekend, including a largescale fight involving 80 people in which police were assaulted. Four offduty police officers were also set upon by 20 assailants who assaulted and robbed them. There was also the unlawful discharge of fireworks into a business premises, a knife incident, the aggravated robbery of a service station by three youths, and stolen motor vehicle pursuits which led to the arrest of 12 people, police noted. Areas subjected to the curfew include the town centre between Anzac Hill, the Alice Springs Hospital, the Stuart Highway and Leichhardt Terrace, which runs along the Todd River. During the curfew, police have powers to control the movement of people to prevent, stop or reduce public disorder in the declared area. For example, police can direct a person to leave a declared area, direct a group to disperse, and order a person to remain in a location for no longer than two hours. At the same time, police must ensure that directions are given in a manner that is likely to be heard by all persons. She criticised the violence over last few days as unacceptable. . I love Alice Springs, but the offending and behaviour that we have seen over the last 96 hours will not be tolerated, she told reporters. Territory police are doing an incredible job in very difficult circumstances and I want to personally thank the police commissioner, Michael Murphy. . Ms. Lawler added that past experience showed curfews can be an effective circuit breaker in the remote town. The curfew will provide police extra powers to get on top of the situation on the ground in Alice Springs, she noted. This is exactly why my government passed curfew legislation in May. We want police to use the curfew powers when it s needed, and that time is right now. . Meanwhile, the minister referred to comments by Police Minister Brent Potter vast majority of people in Alice Springs do the right thing every single day, such as small businesses trying to make a living and tourism services trying to operate in the town. And then we have a small number of people that bring that town down by doing some, you know, disgraceful acts that we ve seen, she said. This is the second curfew in Alice Springs this year. The first public disorder declaration took place in April. It was extended by six days after being originally implemented in late March in response to a string of violent incidents and unrest in the city. Young people under the age of 18 were unable to enter the town centre between the hours of 6 p.m. and 6 a.m. without a valid reason.

NT Police have imposed a three-day curfew in Alice Springs following violent incidents, including assaults on police officers and public unrest. The curfew aims to curb harmful behaviors in the community and grants police additional powers to restore order. This is the second curfew in Alice Springs this year, with the previous one in April being extended due to ongoing violent incidents.

The Sundance Indigenous film tourkicked off on June 8 and traveled to New Mexico, Oklahoma, Michigan, and California for an 83minute screening of various short films created by Indigenous filmmakers. Topics in the films include personal stories about the repatriation of ancestors, truths about waiting for treatment at a local Indian hospital and recalling an endangered language. Director of the Sundance Institute Indigenous Program Adam Piron said through community partnerships, this tour was free to all audiences. Now that the tour has concluded, the program is available to rent until March 2025. So this year was predominantly a mix of films from this past year's festival, as well as the year before. And then after that, it's available to be booked from different art houses or museums, or, you know, anybody that wants to screen it and stuff like that, Piron said. A big intention behind this tour was for audiences to see how the relationship between the culture of Indigenous people and cinematic language can work together. Piron attended a screening in Los Angeles where he witnessed firsthand the connection between audiences and Indigenous artists. It's mostly connecting with a lot of these audiences because these films are Indigenousmade films that do center an Indigenous audience. And so like, for me, that's sort of like the measure of the success is just us being able to connect Indigenous audiences with these artists, and just kind of help fulfill that part of why they were made in the first place, Piron said. In August, the Sundance Indigenous Program will have an artist intensive in Honolulu, Hawaii, where they will focus on supporting Native Hawaiian filmmakers working in short films. And I think that the biggest privilege to combine two things that I'm really passionate about, which is film, and combining that also to my own sort of passion for advocating for Indigenous people, and whatever that might look like. I don't know, where else I'd be able to do what I'm doing here on the scale that I'm able to do that, Piron said.

The Sundance Indigenous film tour showcased short films by Indigenous filmmakers in various locations across the US, touching on topics like repatriation, healthcare, and endangered languages. The program, free through community partnerships, is now available for rent until March 2025. The tour aimed to highlight the connection between Indigenous culture and cinematic language, fostering audience engagement with the artists. An upcoming artist intensive in Hawaii will support Native Hawaiian filmmakers.

While the Portuguese tipple may not be to his liking, he has shared one red that makes the grade. A wine connoisseur who's taken TikTok by storm has given his verdict on a wellliked red wine, calling it "absolutely revolting". Tom Gilbey, the wine aficionado known for his candid reviews on TikTok, didn't hold back when he sampled a Portuguese red that's supposed to boast "dark fruit flavours and a hint of spice.". In one of his latest viral TikTok clips, the man dubbed "the wine guy" braved a sip of the 8 Porto 6 from Lisbon, crafted with 50 Tinta Roriz grapes Spain's Tempranillo under a different name. For those unaware of the complexities of red wine, the array of grape varieties can be daunting, but Tom is there to demystify, explaining that Tempranillo is behind those "soft, juicy, givemeahug wines from Rioja." Confronted with the Portuguese offering adorned with a tram image, he questioned: "But have we got a give me a hug wine from Portugal? For 8 it is quite cheap.". As he swirled the wine to unleash its bouquet, he characterised the aroma as a mix of "a bit of black fruit, some dark cherry, some plum and liquor chocolates like the kind left over from Christmas.". The expert takes a sip and immediately spits it back out. His verdict is straightforward and leaves no room for doubt, as he firmly states: "That's absolutely revolting. It's like jammy, juicy nothingness that gets you, Porta 6, a massive, hairy no". With the Portuguese red now off the table, our wine connoisseur shared a tasty alternative from across the globe that will only set you back a few more pounds. In another recent review, the wine guru reviewed a bottle of Jacobs Creek Double Barrelled Mature Shiraz that he picked up inAsdato pair with a succulent steak. Describing the supermarket topseller, he said: "It's dark and deep exactly what I want a Shiraz to look like, almost black inside. It's ripe, it's blackberry, and it's got that little bit of mint that I get from a really good Australian Shiraz.". Taking a generous gulp he exclaims: "It's got lovely creaminess to it, it's quite rich, it's got a bit of residual sugar I think and the tannins are really soft.". Concluding that the 10.50 Jacobs Creek is indeed a "red wine with massive nuts" the wine enthusiast would definitely recommend shelling out a few extra pounds for a superior bottle and leaving the Porto 6 on the shelf.

Wine TikTok sensation critiques Portuguese red wine as "absolutely revolting". Tom Gilbey, known for his honest reviews, found Porto 6 from Lisbon unpleasant, preferring a pricier Jacobs Creek Shiraz for its rich flavors. Describing Porto 6 as jammy and lacking depth, he advises splurging on a better alternative.

Time flies with great content! Renew into keep enjoying all our premium content. Prime. A front view of an Airtel shop. ByVictor Juma. Business Editor. Nation Media Group. . Airtel Uganda s majority shareholder Airtel Africa is set to sell additional shares amounting to a 9.11 percent stake in a secondary offer to comply with a requirement to offload a minimum ownership of 20 percent to minority investors trading on the Uganda Securities Exchange USE. The multinational in November 2023 managed to sell 4.35 billion shares equivalent to a 10.89 percent stake in Airtel Uganda s initial public offering IPO that was open to domestic and foreign investors including Kenyans, failing to meet the ownership rule. Airtel Africa says in its latest annual report that it received a regulatory extension to sell the balance of 3.64 billion shares by November 2026, a move that will see it replicate the moves by MTN Group, which successfully offloaded a 20 percent stake in MTN Uganda in two transactions including a secondary offer concluded last month. On November 7, 2023, Airtel Uganda listed 10.89 percent of its shares on the Uganda Securities Exchange USE in compliance with Uganda Communications Fees and Fines Amendment Regulations 2020, which created an obligation for all national telecom operator licensees to list 20 percent of their shares on the USE, Airtel Africa says in the report. Read:Airtel Uganda pays 41 million dividend postIPO. The USE granted Airtel Uganda an extension until 6 November 2026 to offer the shortfall to achieve the 20 percent listing. . Airtel Africa sold its shares at a price of UGX100 Sh3.47 each in the IPO that also offered incentive shares on a band of subscription volumes to attract investors. Retail investors who applied for more than 2,500 shares, for instance, received 10 free shares for each 100 shares allocated. Institutional investors who applied for at least 1.85 billion shares were offered 112 free shares for each 100 shares allocated. Despite the incentive shares, which amounted to a discount on the offer price, the IPO only managed a subscription rate of 54.45 percent in a transaction that saw Uganda s National Social Security Fund NSSF take up about 97 percent of the allocated shares. The below par performance of the telco s IPO was partly attributed to exclusion of Airtel Money which is owned separately by Airtel Africa and a group of other institutional investors. MTN Uganda offered both its mobile money and telecommunications businesses to the investing public. Airtel Uganda s share price has declined postIPO to trade at Ush70 Sh2.45, indicating that its parent firm could offer deeper discounts to meet local ownership requirement in the impending secondary offer. Airtel Uganda, which offers data, SMS and voice services, has a policy of distributing at least 95 percent of net income as dividends. MTN Group sold an extra 7.03 percent stake in MTN Uganda s oversubscribed secondary offer last month, cutting its ownership in the subsidiary to 80 percent. It sold 1.57 billion shares at a price of Ush170 Sh5.9 each in the transaction that featured incentive shares. Read:MTN Uganda s parent offers major discount in sale of Sh7.7bn shares. This was a larger discount compared to MTN Uganda s November 2021 IPO in which the multinational sold a 12.97 percent stake at a price of Ush200 Sh6.95 per share while also offering incentive shares. Pricing of the secondary offer took into account a drop in the share price of MTN Uganda, which currently stands at Ush170 Sh5.9. The sale of MTN Uganda shares was open to Ugandan and foreign investors. MTN Uganda s successful secondary offer was also helped by extension of the book closure date for its final dividend of Ush6.4 Sh0.22 per share from June 4 to June 12. This enabled investors who participated in the offer to qualify for the payout. The offer closed on June 10. MTN Uganda, which aims to pay out at least 60 percent of profits as dividends, has attracted notable Kenyan investors including billionaire Baloobhai Patel, Central Bank of Kenya and the National Social Security Fund. While Uganda is keen to enforce local ownership rule, Kenya last year changed tune and abolished such requirements, which saw Airtel Kenya freed from seeking investors to take up a 30 percent stake in the firm. email protected.

SFist called it last week whenthe story came outabout a highend omakase popup at the quirky Flintstone House down in Hillsborough: Sounds like owner Florence Fang, or the team working on the popup, did not seek any permits for this. A couple of influencers got to enjoy a fancy, promotional omakase meal from Michelinanointed sushi chef Masa Sasaki last month. But they may be the only ones who get to enjoy Stoneage Omakase, as the Hillsborough Town Council has shut the party down before it began. Stoneage Omakaseposted to InstagramMonday that they have "temporarily paused" operations at the Flintstone House due to "concerns raised by the city of Hillsborough." And all those who have made prepaid reservations will be refunded. They are careful to say, "As a catering business, not a restaurant, we are diligently working to address these issues with Hillsborough," and they hint that there may be some other popups happening at "new venues." Though the name "Stoneage Omakase" seems like it was tailormade for this venue in particular. The popup sushi experience not a restaurant! was scheduled to start service this weekend, on July 12, with a 15course, 230 omakase menu served by Sasaki. Sadly, for Sasaki, whose work at Maruya and his eponymous restaurant Sasaki received much acclaim and a Michelin star, it looks like this latest project is on ice for a while. Sasaki was previously attached to thatspuriously planned NFTbacked private club and sushi barthat was proposed for Salesforce Park a couple years back. Reservations were made publicly available last week, but I had to wonder whether this was all on the up and up, given that the Flintstone House's owner, Florence Fang, has a history of doing things at the house without permits and asking for forgiveness later. Fang, who lives elsewhere in Hillsborough and said she bought the house as an entertaining space and her "happy place," wassued by the wealthy Town of Hillsboroughboth over the "eyesore" of the lawn ornaments, and for the installation of some railings and other work that was apparently done on the property without permits. Fang, who is a former owner of the SF Examiner and has been a general power broker in San Francisco for years, was not going to back down quietly. She hired former SF Supervisor Angela Alioto as her lawyer, and the battle with the town went on for two years. In theeventual settlement, Fang agreed to get permits for the work that was done, and the town ponied up 125,000 to cover Fang's legal expenses. In the meantime, Alioto had attacked the town for its "intolerance and elitist behavior," and also suggested that it was unconstitutional and racist. Three years on, and it seems that a sushi popup and "Stoneage"themed catering operation will be the next thing that Fang does battle over. Besides Fang and Sasaki, the other person we know is involved with this project is Sean Fang, who was listed on the popup's website as CEO and cofounder of Steonage Omakase. Neither he nor Florence Fang herself has given any public comment about this project. Update:TheChronicle obtained a copyof the letter from the Town of Hillsborough that was delivered by town police on Friday to the Flintstone House. It states, "Restaurants and other commercial uses are not permitted in a residential zone, even on a temporary basis. You and the restaurateurs may not have been aware that this use would be illegal. Since you are now on notice about this restriction, please inform the operators that they may not open for business.". Stoneage Omakase has responded saying that they have been "incorrectly classified as a restaurant, which has led to this misunderstanding," and they "look forward to working with the city to resolve this issue.". .

MOSCOW AP Russia's parliament on Wednesday approved a bill that would raise income taxes for the rich, in a move to help fill government coffers during the fighting in Ukraine. . Already have an account?Log in here . MOSCOW AP Russia s parliament on Wednesday approved a bill that would raise income taxes for the rich, in a move to help fill government coffers during the fighting in Ukraine. The bill was endorsed in the final third reading by the lower house, the State Duma, and hours later by the upper house, the Federation Council. It must be signed by President Vladimir Putin to become law. The legislation, which envisages a progressive tax on personal income, is a major change from the flatrate tax that was widely credited with improving revenue collections after it was introduced in 2001. The bill would impose a 13 tax for incomes of up to 2.4 million rubles 27,500 a year. For incomes over that amount, a steadily higher tax rate would apply, with the maximum rate of 22 for incomes exceeding 50 million rubles 573,000. Chris Weafer, CEO of MacroAdvisory consultancy, described the raise in taxes as part of government efforts to reduce a heavy reliance on oil revenues as Western nations tighten sanctions against Russian oil exports. The government is looking to broaden out the tax base to make it less dependent on external factors and to therefore make it more secure by shifting the orientation as best they can towards domestic sourcing, he said. Putin has said that the tax increase would affect no more than 3.2 of Russia s taxpayers. The bill also calls for an increase in the company income tax rate from 20 to 25. The government is looking to increase tax revenues where they can without damaging either the operations of companies or increasing the tax burden on the majority of Russians, Weafer said. The tax reform is estimated to bring 2.6 trillion rubles 29 billion in additional federal revenues in 2025. A 13 flat tax was put into effect quickly after Putin s first election in 2000 in an attempt to fight widespread tax evasion and boost state revenue. In 2021, Russia modified the system so that people earning more than 5 million rubles a year would pay 15 on the amount above the threshold. AdvertisementAdvertise With Us. Advertisement. LOAD MORE

Russia's parliament approved a bill to raise income taxes for the rich to bolster government funds during the Ukraine conflict. The bill establishes a progressive tax on personal income, with rates up to 22 for incomes exceeding 50 million rubles annually. The government aims to reduce reliance on oil revenues amid Western sanctions, expecting 29 billion rubles in additional federal revenues by 2025.

Euractiv.com with Reuters. 09072024. News ServiceProduced externally by an organization we trust to adhere to journalistic standards. The former prosecutor general of Moldova Alexandr Stoianoglo L delivers his speech at pressbriefing with head of Socialists Party of Moldova PSRM, former President of Moldova Igor Dodon R, in the party's headquarter in Chisinau, Moldova, 8 July 2024. Dodon announced Stoianoglo as candidate for presidential elections that will take place in October 2024. EPAEFEDUMITRU DORU. Languages:BulgarianPrintEmailFacebookXLinkedInWhatsAppTelegram. PrintEmailFacebookXLinkedInWhatsAppTelegram. Moldova s Socialists, the exSoviet state s largest opposition party, put forward a dismissed prosecutor general as a unified opposition candidate on Monday 8 July to challenge proEuropean incumbent Maia Sandu in an October presidential election. Sandu, who has made securing European Union membership the cornerstone of her policies, is seeking a second mandate in a poll held alongside a referendum on joining the 27nation bloc. The proRussia Socialists say they do not oppose the campaign for European integration, but accuse Sandu of using the referendum as a vehicle to win the election. Other Moscowfriendly groups are openly campaigning against the plebiscite in Moldova, one of Europe s poorest countries lying between Ukraine and Romania. Former prosecutor Alexandr Stoianoglo, the standardbearer endorsed by the Socialists, told a news conference he was running to end injustices under Sandu s administration. The constitutional order is being violated every day by the authorities and various political scoundrels, he said. Stoianoglo said he favoured EU membership, but I find it insulting that European integration is used as a truncheon and not as a means to modernise the country and unite its people. A European Moldova must be neutral to leave room for cooperation with other countries and peoples . Sandu sacked Stoianoglo last year, citing violations of the criminal code on exceeding his authority and a failure to tackle entrenched corruption. He denies wrongdoing and has yet to be convicted in a court. The European Court for Human Rights has ruled that his dismissal violated principles of due process. Socialist Party leader Igor Dodon, a former president defeated by Sandu in 2020, said the party was backing Stoianoglo as a test of political maturity. . Society expects clarity and a common strategy from its politicians, Dodon said. There was no indication whether Moldova s other major opposition grouping, led by fugitive business magnate Ilan Shor, would back Stoianoglo. Shor, sentenced in absentia to 15 years in prison last year for mass fraud, lives in Russia and heads the Victory electoral bloc made up of several proMoscow groups. Moldova s Constitutional Court declared a proRussian party behind a wave of antigovernment protests unconstitutional on Monday 19 June, a ruling that means the party is immediately banned. Dodon trails the president in opinion polls, which also suggest 56 of voters will say yes to joining the EU. The bloc last month opened membership talks with both Moldova and Ukraine. The United States, Britain and Canada last month accused Russia of plotting to sway the outcome of the presidential vote and incite protests if a proMoscow candidate should lose. Moldova is officially a candidate to join the EU. Languages:BulgarianPrintEmailFacebookXLinkedInWhatsAppTelegram. PrintEmailFacebookXLinkedInWhatsAppTelegram

Moldova's largest opposition party, the Socialists, have nominated former prosecutor general Alexandr Stoianoglo as their candidate for the upcoming presidential election. Stoianoglo, endorsed by the party, aims to challenge the incumbent pro-European president Maia Sandu. The election will also include a referendum on joining the EU, with pro-Russia groups opposing it. Stoianoglo supports EU membership but criticizes its current usage in Moldova. The Socialists see backing Stoianoglo as a test of political maturity, while another major opposition group led by Ilan Shor remains undecided. Russia's involvement in the election has raised concerns, with accusations of influencing the outcome.

As part of the austerity measures, the Azimio Chief called on the national government, state officers, and leaders to have an allinclusive robust engagement and discussion to listen to the plight of Kenyans who are experiencing tough economic times.

While attending the burial of the former Member of Parliament, Maina Wanjigi father to businessman Jimi Wanjigi, Raila echoed the protesters' push for new reforms while explaining why he distanced himself from the protests.

A scientist dubbed Britain's worst stalker is making a new bid for freedom after spending two decades behind bars. The biochemist also slashed tyres and made thousands of roundtheclock crank calls during a sevenyear campaign of terror. Detectives branded him 'undoubtedly Britain's worst stalker' and he spent 13 years in prison on top of his sevenyear minimum sentence. But Jan, of Streatham, southLondon, could be released later this year after the parole board agreed to assess him. A hearing will be scheduled in Autumn, potentially paving the way for the convicted stalker to be freed into the community. A source said: 'Jan makes Martha from Baby Reindeer look like a soft touch. He's a manipulative bully who ruined dozens of people's lives. 'It's a frightening prospect for his many victims that he could soon walk free.'. He vowed 'World War Three' against 200 victims he claimed were part of a 'fascist horde' plotting to section him. Police said 4,500 threatening calls linked to Jan were the 'tip of the iceberg'. Another, a social worker, was twice taken to hospital after latenight attacks outside her front door in Hanwell, Middlesex. Jan, of Streatham, south London , could be released later this year after the parole board agreed to assess him. Yet psychiatrists could find no evidence of mental illness with Jan, who has a geniuslevel IQ of 150. He was found guilty of two counts of arson with intent to endanger life and one of causing a public nuisance between November 13, 1996, and February 7, 2003 a charge police felt was best able to embrace the many other aspects of his campaign of hatred. Judge Henry Blacksell branded the stalker 'devious, manipulative and a bully' and told him: 'You cunningly set out to unnerve and ruin people you thought had crossed you. 'Her Majesty's subjects need protection from you.'. Detective chief inspector David Poole said upon his sentencing: 'There has never been a case like this before. 'He is undoubtedly Britain's worst stalker, a very dangerous individual who .. ruined lives. 'This man was remorseless and relentless in the way he inflicted terror on people.'. Jan was denied parole in 2021 after officials heard he had threatened staff behind bars. The Parole Board confirmed a new hearing would be held later this year.

Listed in June for 950,000 by Jeff Vander Molen with Terrie O'Connor Realtors, the Van Winkle House at 868 Goffle Road was Passaic County's first known murder scene. Exposed beams and stone feature throughout the interior, as do whitewashed wainscoting, chair rails and dark hardwood floors. The primary suite nonetheless comes with motorized window treatments and a sleek modern bathroom. The office is a large contemporary space with a vaulted ceiling. Born in 1784, Van Winkle ran a farm and a gristmill on the then 212.5acre property after inheriting it from his father, Simeon Van Winkle, aka Simeon of the Bogt, who lived in Paterson's Riverside section, according to federal historical records. Seeking to expand his operations, Van Winkle and a neighbor in 1828 successfully lobbied the state to build a damn on the Passaic River and establish what became a profitable canal route, records show. A prominent resident and businessman, Van Winkle was named judge of the Court of Common Pleas for Passaic County when the county was founded in 1837, according to county records. Local records show the date of construction is uncertain but thought to be 1761. More recently the subject of a book by Don Everett Smith Jr., "Passaic County's First Murder and Execution: The Van Winkles and the Goffle Road Murders," the story remained a topic of conversation for decades, according to municipal records. 170 years ago, Passaic County was rattled by its first murders and a public hanging of the killer. The convicted killer, a 34yearold Liverpudlian named John Jonston, shared Christmas dinner with the Van Winkles just two weeks before the murders, according to Smith. He climbed through a secondstory window using Van Winkle's gristmill ladder before killing 61yearold Jannetje Van Winkle in her bedroom with two blows of a hatchet, he said. After a scuffle with 65yearold Van Winkle, Jonston lost the hatchet, but he pulled a knife, the Paterson Intelligencer reported a week after the murders. Jonston was caught soon after at a rail station in Ridgewood, then known as Godwinville, the Paterson Intelligencer reported. He was tracked through footprints in the snow and found with a bloody bag. Van Winkle died 16 hours later, giving him enough time to plan his own funeral, Smith said. Jonston spent two months in confinement before being indicted. He was found guilty, sentenced to death and hanged at the end of April 1850. It was the first of five executions in Passaic County's history, county records show. The end of the house where the slaying took place was sealed for decades after the judge died, according to a New York Times report from August 1882.

Advertisement. . . Reporter. Albuquerque's downtown Martineztown neighborhood was flooded Saturday night by rain. The city said it received 1.48 inches in just 90 minutes. If it feels like this year s monsoon season arrived a little early, that s because it did. Throughout the evening Saturday, the National Weather Service s Albuquerque office issued severe thunderstorm and flash flood warnings which indicate weather events are in progress or highly likely for much of Northern and Central New Mexico. The predictions were realized: Rain drenched parts of the Albuquerque metropolitan area and East Mountains on Saturday night at rates as high as 4 to 5 inches per hour, Michael Anand, an Albuquerquebased National Weather Service meteorologist, said Sunday. The Santa Fe area got soaked as well the weather service said the airport received 1.12 inches between 7 p.m. Saturday and about 3 a.m. Sunday and the Cerrillos and Madrid areas were under a flash flood warning Sunday morning. But the biggest hit came in Albuquerque, where a news release issued Sunday said the state s biggest city got 1.48 inches in just 90 minutes. Hardest hit were Martineztown and Barelas in the city s downtown area. The additional rainfall comes as many Northern New Mexico towns includingLas Vegasandcommunitiesalong the Rio Chama are still reeling from flooding last week. More rain is expected in the northwestern corner of the state but may offer a muchneeded break for rainsoaked Eastern New Mexico. Though forecasts predict clearer skies for Fourth of July fireworks, Anand said residents can expect more moisture this week, particularly Wednesday. This monsoon season definitely got off to an earlier start, he said. The reason behind this year s early start: There s record moisture in the air. Meteorologists measure what s called precipitable water, or the amount of moisture within a small vertical column of the atmosphere. It s essentially the amount of moisture in the air that any given storm has to work with, Anand explained. Around 6 p.m. Saturday, the National Weather Service s Albuquerque office measured precipitable water of 1.18 inches, much higher than June 30 averages of slightly over a halfinch. We re talking almost double, Anand said. The additional atmospheric moisture may lead to even more flooding in areas near preexisting burn scars. It doesn t really take much more rainfall out there; the soil is already saturated, Anand said of communities near the Hermits PeakCalf Canyon burn scar. And so basically, if they get any sort of rainfall, flash flooding is imminent and very likely. . A flash flood watch which indicates hydrologic conditions are favorable to flash flooding but without flooding being certain or imminent will remain in effect for residents near the Hermits PeakCalf Canyon burn scar as well as the Blue 2, South Fork and Salt burn scarsnear Ruidoso, according to a weather service forecast Sunday. In the coming days, Anand recommended Northern New Mexico residents particularly those living near floodprone burn scars remain aware of the forecast and adhere to official road closures and barricades. If you see high water, we always say, Turn around, don t drown, he said. Just play it smart. . San Miguel County and the city of Las Vegas put out a call Saturday searching for volunteers to fill sandbags amid thunderstorms and flash flooding. Volunteers are needed through Friday, the city and county announced in a news release. The work will be completed between from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the San Miguel County Public Road Works Yard.

Published. on. By. Kashim Imam, the Chief Imam of Nasara Cinema Juma at Mosque in Lokoja, has urged President Ahmed Bola Tinubu to prioritize the welfare of Nigerians amidst the current economic challenges. The Islamic cleric made this appeal during a Juma at sermon in Lokoja on Friday. He advised President Tinubu to swiftly address the suffering of Nigerians grappling with harsh economic conditions.

Imam stressed the imperative for lawmakers to attend to the needs of their constituents, particularly in times of economic distress, and urged state governors to prioritize the welfare of their citizens through peoplecentric policies. I urge the president to consider implementing a living wage for civil servants, pensioners, and unemployed individuals across our nation. Leaders must uphold justice and be accountable to the people, Imam added.

It s no surprise that Arlington Flag Banner, a tiny flag retailer that s been operating on Mass. Ave. for decades, hasannual July 4 patriotismto thank for a healthy chunk of its business. But in recent years, in particular, it has also owed spates of bustling sales to another factor: divisiveness. AfterRussia invaded Ukraine in 2022, the store and its supplier sold out of Ukrainian flags for several months, said owner Anthony Nguyen. A similar rush happened in the aftermath ofthe Hamas attack on Israel last October. The Palestinian flags all of a sudden just took off after the war started, said Nguyen, with many customers telling him they were toting the banners to protests. Only now is the shop starting to get those flags back in stock. Advertisement. Sales of Israel flags, meanwhile, are more here and there, he said. Back in 2016, flags emblazoned with Donald Trump s name were also a hot commodity. I couldn t stock them enough, Nguyen said; buyers often bundled this purchase with a Don t Tread On Me banner. Nobody has ever requested a Joe Biden flag, he said, or any other politician, for that matter. Only Trump, he said. It was during one of these transactions that he saw just how vexing the business of vexillology the study of flags can be. A customer came into the store to buy a Trump flag, and it prompted a heated argument with an antiTrump client, Nguyen recalled. It was like a shouting match, he said. He had to usher them outside. Sales of flags Old Glory in particular have historically risen and fallen with geopolitical tides. Through the decades, local retailers have reported increases corresponding withWorld War II,the Vietnam War, and911. Nguyen, for his part, tries to stay above the fray. There s a lot of people who try not to be one side or the other. They want to be neutral, and they re afraid of flying one flag versus the other, he said. I m only here to support whoever needs what. Not to pick sides. . Advertisement. This time of year, what customers need are all things red, white, and blue. Nguyen estimates he has sold a couple thousand American flags in the leadup to the holiday, ranging from fourbysixinch handheld flags 3.50 to the mammoth 30by50foot banners, which clock in at over 3,000. It s every other year that people replace the flags. That s when it would kind of wear out the flag rips or the color fades, said Nguyen. 2024, he said, has proven to be one of the on years. Nguyen s mother, Linda, started the business in 1983, several years after theflag fervor of the bicentennial. She had immigrated with Anthony to the US from Vietnam, amongthe throngs of boat people who fled the country following the war. A seamstress by trade, the elder Nguyen found work at the nowclosed Flag Center in Cambridge before opening her own shop. Though she now lives in Georgia, she still helps her son with some of the handstitched work the more intricate alternative to printed vinyl flags. This embroidered style is favored by clients such as Harvard University, Nguyen said. Other big buyers of custom flags include city and town governments in the region, as well as the occasional movie productions that come to town. The shop made dragonbedecked flags for the upcoming The Walking Dead: Dead City seasonfilming in Massachusetts, Nguyen said. In addition to these madetoorder banners, Nguyen carries a stock of flags for every country in the world. He s sold buntings for nations as far away as Nepal theonly country with a nonrectangular flag, if you care to know. I think they just want to remember their heritage, he said of immigrants who buy the flags of their native countries. Advertisement. But, at least last week, the stars and stripes were the bestsellers, with a rush of clients picking up their orders. If you forgot to stock up on your Old Glories, though, you ll have to wait until next July 4 to get it from Nguyen; like many Americans, he s on vacation this week.

The case against Maguire had been dropped since his death in a horrific crash on the N7 in July 2021 alongside two other men Graham Taylor and Carl Freeman. Dean Maguire, Carl Freeman and Graham Taylor all died in a horror crash on the N7 in 2021. A serial burglar who died in a horror crash on the N7, was named in court as one of those arrested over a string of breakins in the west of Ireland. Dean Maguire, who died in a headon collision with a lorry as he evaded gardai in Dublin in 2021, was one of four men originally arrested over the breakins in 2019. They had been described as "a highly sophisticated, organised crime gang" at Castlebar Circuit Criminal Court. At the time of their arrest in September 2019, a court heard Maguire was refused bail after it was heard he had 24 convictions, six of which were committed while previously on bail. He was charged along with Shane Byrne from Jobstown, Tallaght, Daniel Lawlor, Kiltalown Road, Jobstown, and Gerry Wall from Fortunestown Crescent, Dublin 24. A garda superintendent objected on the grounds of the seriousness of the offences and the fact that the accused may commit further offences. He said that 30,000 in cash stolen from a house at Bohola, Co Mayo, had not been recovered and there was a fear that if the men were released, the stolen cash may be disposed of. A list of other potential burglary targets had been found in a vehicle seized by gardai, which they believe had been used by the men. Two other garda witnesses gave evidence that a house was entered and 1,000 cash, 500 in coins, a 500 cheque and a 243 Revenue cheque were stolen. In a garda search of a house the Revenue cheque that was stolen was found and a car at the scene matched the description of the vehicle used in two other burglaries. Byrne it emerged had 33 previous convictions, Lawlor had 45 convictions while at the time 19yearold Gerry Wall had no previous record. The case against the four men was recently finalised at Castlebar Circuit Court where it was heard the men pleaded guilty to possession of stolen property. Evidence in the case was heard last year and it was adjourned for probation reports with the men appearing before the court again last week, as first reported by the Mayo News. It was heard that Lawlor now works as a roofer while Byrne works with a tile shop and all three had made a charitable donation of 3,000. Judge Eoin Garavan jailed Wall, who now has six convictions, for 20 months, adding that a message needs to be sent out.". Noting Lawlor and Byrne s employment and clean drug tests, the judge handed down suspended sentences of 20 months each, the Mayo News reported. The case against Maguire had been dropped since his death in a horrific crash on the N7 in July 2021 alongside two other men Graham Taylor and Carl Freeman. The dead men had 200 criminal conviction between them and were known as members of a burglary gang.

Jay, 19, from Lancashire, disappeared in Tenerife on the morning of June 17 sparking a major search which failed to find him and it was called off after less than two weeks. His family have continued the search. Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time.More info. Jay Slater's father and brother have expanded their search to a new area following potential sightings of the missing teenager, as reported by the local mayor. Jay, hailing from Lancashire, vanished in Tenerife on the morning of 17 June,prompting a largescale search operation in the northwestern part of the island by Spanish authorities. However, the official search was called off after less than two weeks without any trace of the 19 year old. Despite this, Jay's family, aided by volunteers, have continued their efforts to locate him. Photos depict Jay's brother Zak and father Warren in Santiago del Teide, a mountain village located on the fringes of the Teno Rural Park. This development comes as the family broadens their search parameters on the threeweek anniversary of Jay's disappearance. The mayor of Santiago del Teide previously suggested that locals may have seen the missing teen watching Euros matches. Mayor Emilio Jose Navarro confirmed that individuals who reported sightings of Jay had already been interviewed by the police, reportsthe Mirror. Mayor Navarro stated: "We know the police are investigating the CCTV images. They have asked for the town hall's security cameras and they are also working with the company that handles those cameras.". Prior to this, the family had conducted searches higher up in the mountains within the Los Carrizales valley. Jay's last known whereabouts were in the Rural de Teno Park, and his final contact was on the morning of Monday, 17 June, when he informed friends Lucy Law and Brad Hargreaves via phone that he intended to walk back to the southern part of the island. In a poignant conversation with the Mirror, distressed father Warren declared that the search for his teenage son is 'like a riddle' without an answer. With no leads to hold onto, he joined a group of 10 volunteers on Saturday in the inhospital environment where Jay disappeared. He expressed his frustration saying, "Tell me where I look, I can only go off the last sighting, the woman in that restaurant saw him going the wrong way. Which human being lets a young boy go the wrong way? Everything stinks. It's just a riddle and I don't know the answer.". Apprehensively navigating through this unsolved mystery, dad Warren also challenged the stance of the Spanish police, who quickly dismissed any suspicion from the two men who accompanied Jay back to the Airbnb on the night he vanished. He questioned, "My starting position, I've said this from day one, ask the two men who've taken him. And then start from there. If you and me in England had taken a young girl to the Lake District, do you think they would have let us go back to Spain? ". This distraught dad is caught in a vicious cycle of uncertainty, unable to take drastic actions against the Spanish authorities through fear of reprisal. "We're going round and round in circles. The Spanish police, you can't go screaming and shouting at them because they don't do anything. If you start screaming and shouting they won't do anything even more. If they want to go and search a house they have to go to court first. ".

Jay Slater, 19, disappeared in Tenerife prompting a search that was called off. His family continues to search, broadening efforts after potential sightings. Jay's brother and father look in new areas like Santiago del Teide. The mayor reported possible sightings during Euro matches. Despite frustrations with the Spanish police, they persist in the search for Jay, last seen in Teno Rural Park. Warren, Jay's father, expressed his anguish calling the search a "riddle" without answers.

The Radio and Television Supreme Council RT K has revoked the license of the independent radio stationA k Radyo. The decision comes after the station was penalized for a broadcast that mentioned the Armenian genocide on April 24, marked as the remembrance day for the genocide. The cancellation of the license was based on the station's failure to comply with previous sanctions imposed by RT K, which included administrative fines and a fiveday suspension of broadcasts. Despite paying the fines, A k Radyo continued its broadcasts, which RT K deemed a violation of the conditions set forth in the sanctions. Sources fromA k Radyotold bianet that they have filed a lawsuit to halt the execution of the first penalty, indicating that RT K imposed the fine without awaiting the court's decision. RT K member lhan Ta publicly criticized the decision, stating, "The reason given is the station's noncompliance with a previous fiveday suspension order for inciting hatred and hostility. However, the broadcaster had paid the fine but did not cease broadcasting. This situation should have been interpreted in favor of the broadcaster.". Commenting for bianet, former RT K member Faruk Bildirici criticized the council's decision, calling it the "government's tool" and an "enemy of freedom of thought and media." He said, "They have become increasingly reckless and ruthless towards those who do not think like them. A k Radyo is one of the few stations where enlightened individuals of this country can express their thoughts and reach the public. "Canceling its license for a fixable technical reason is like issuing a death warrant. The program suspension penalty given to A k Radyo is also unjust, baseless, and aimed at preventing the expression of diverse opinions.". The incident that led to the revocation occurred duringA k Radyo's program "A k Gazete" on April 24, where a guest mentioned the "109th anniversary of the massacres and deportations, referred to as genocide, that took place on Ottoman lands." RT K initially responded with an administrative fine and a fiveday broadcast suspension, citing the broadcast as incitement to hatred and hostility. Following the penalty,A k Radyoissued a statement, arguing that the program could not be construed as inciting hatred or hostility: "The evaluations in the decision are not acceptable in line with universal law and journalistic principles. There is no expression in the program in question that exceeds the limits of freedom of expression and thought. When evaluating both the expressions subject to the decision and the entire program, there is no aspect contrary to universal journalistic principles. Moreover, the program cannot possibly incite hatred and hostility or create feelings of hatred in society." HAVK.

At a reception marking the 50th anniversary of Niue's selfgovernance, the premier of the tiny Pacific country offered an offhand and offscript confession. Loginor signup to continue reading. "I think it's the first time I've ever been busy as premier of Niue," Dalton Tagelagi said. A procession of leaders from New Zealand and beyond have arrived on the postcardperfect coral island through 2024. This week, it was Deputy Prime Minister Winston Peters' turn to celebrate the milestone, bringing a delegation of MPs. But as they tucked into dinner at the stunning Matavai Resort, with balconies perched on a coastal cliff that make spotting migratory whales possible each winter, others on the island shivered through cold showers. The power was off. Transmission to the morepopulated north of the island was shut off to manage a peak, while resort guests were protected from the blackout. The inconvenience was not the first. Niue has been without its renewable energy since November, when lightning strikes during a storm took the source offline. At that point, the solar panels had been powering up to 38 per cent of the country's needs. Since then Niue, already reliant on aging infrastructure, has been running purely off diesel, much to Finance Minister Crossley Tatui's frustration. "The sun is free and abundant in Niue. Diesel, which takes thousands of miles to reach us, most certainly is not," he said. The ailing power supply has given rise to New Zealand's anniversary present: NZ20.5 million A18.5 million worth of solar panels and batteries. When completed, the sixhectare development will boost both overall generation and the share of renewables to 80 per cent. For Niue, looking to promote its ecocredentials in a crowded field of Pacific tourism options, the project cannot come soon enough. "I got word the electricity might have been turned off last night to make the point," Mr Peters quipped. Just 1600 people live in Niue meaning New Zealand's solar investment costs around 13,000 per Niuean and the country does feel ripe to expand tourism. The purity of seawater rivals anywhere in the Pacific, allowing for worldclass snorkelling or diving, and crystalclear swimming. Cheery locals are amenable to visitors sharing their forested island, the first place to nominate its entire country as a dark sky sanctuary. However, capacity constraints inhibit growth. Niue is without any direct air links to Australia, where 6000 Niueans live. It is serviced by just one to two weekly services from Auckland, a fourhour flight to the southwest, bringing tourists and Niueans from the 30,000strong community in New Zealand. Roads are being improved by a Chinafunded project to lay bitumen around its network, including the 64km ring road. The Matavai is also the only largescale accommodation in Niue, which gives the island a secluded charm. "We can host more tourists. Our challenge is the infrastructure and accommodation," Mr Tagelagi said. "We're encouraging families with unoccupied houses to open up and we are looking for another hotel or resort to complement the one that we have now.". New Zealand is also eager for tourism growth, given it effectively underwrites Niue, which is recognised as a country governing "in free association" with New Zealand. At a celebratory function, Mr Peters praised the New Zealand governments of the early 20th century who argued they "were the best people to handle" Niue. "I don't want to sound arrogant but we were the best people to handle it," he said. Australian Associated Press. Advertisement. Sign up for our newsletter to stay up to date.

Niue suffers power outages after lightning strikes. New solar panel project worth NZ$20.5 million to boost renewables to 80%.

New Zealand supports Niue's development and hopes to increase tourism for the secluded island.

A NURSE from Endmoor cleaned Glastonbury's toilets as part of a campaign lobbying for clean water to be part of the UK's international development budget. Nurse Jude Coleby said she was 'really excited' to join the WaterAid team for its 30th year at the UK's biggest festival in Worthy Farm, Somerset. She said: "It was a challenge but also one of the best experiences of my life. I met friends for life which I will cherish forever.". While more than 200,000 revellers enjoyed headline sets from Dua Lipa and Coldplay, Jude was sporting rubber gloves and armed with a mop. Jude and other WaterAid volunteers with a theatre company in GlastonburyImage: Submitted. She invited festivalgoers to add their name to WaterAid's Vote Water petition, calling for the government to prioritise clean water internationally. "Everyone everywhere should have clean water, decent toilets and good hygiene and Glastonbury is a great opportunity to help raise awareness of a cause I care deeply about.". The toilets were long drop, which can be over 10 feet deep and are typically used in rural areas with no electricity or running water. She said that they 'weren't at all' disgusting. They were manned from 6am until midnight by a team of volunteers. According to the Glastonbury website, there are over 2,000 long drop seats across the site. She said: "Whether it's locating a water kiosk to get a drink or waiting to use a toilet, it's the ideal setting for people to start to understand what it might be like for the millions of people who don't have access to clean water or decent toilets.". WaterAid has been a charity partner of Glastonbury since 1994, supporting water and sanitation services on site while also highlighting its work to help bring clean water and decent toilets to people living in poverty around the world. This year there were more than 700 WaterAid volunteers working the Water Bars and Kiosks, running the women's urinals, cleaning the toilets and handwashing stations and supporting the postfestival cleanup.

ByLynn C. AllisonFriday, 05 July 2024 04:20 PM EDT. Loneliness in America is a growing problem. One out of 3 people report feeling lonely at least once a week, according to a 2024 America Psychiatric Association Poll. But a recent study found that a good night s sleep can help reduce feelings of loneliness, saysHuffPost Life. Participants filled out a questionnaire that rated levels of emotional and social loneliness, as well as their quality of sleep. The results showed that there was a strong link between better quality sleep and less loneliness, particularly among young adults. Emotional loneliness was defined by the researchers as missing intimacy with a partner, while social loneliness referred to missing a wider social network. Experts don t know why there is a stronger association between loneliness and young people who don t sleep well but suspect it may be because they prefer not to interact with others when they aren t well rested. In addition, lack of sleep can lead to increased anxiety and mood problems. We may feel more helpless, have lower sense of selfworth or selfesteem, then we may start to perceive ourselves as feeling alone and isolated, said Nicole Moshfegh, a clinical sleep psychologist from Los Angeles who was not affiliated with the study. Moshfegh pointed out that other studies showed that loneliness leads to poor sleep, indicating a bidirectional effect. Another possible reason for this relationship is that during the rapid eye movement REM stage of sleep, the brain processes thoughts and memories of the day. If your brain experiences constant interruptions because of disrupted sleep patterns, it will not be able to fully process the days events, leading to more mood problems upon awakening. To ensure that your body s time clock, or circadian rhythm, is in sync with your regular sleep patterns, establish a consistent wakeup time each day instead of worrying about a consistent bedtime, say experts. Regular meals, daily routines and getting at least 15 minutes of sunlight every morning can help regulate circadian rhythms. According toUSA TODAY, one study found that adults who took 500 milligrams of magnesium before bed had better sleep quality than the participants who took a placebo. The magnesium group also had higher levels of melatonin, the hormone that governs sleep. Since stress is often a sleep disruptor, Moshfegh suggests looking at ways of lowering stress levels such as practicing mindfulness techniques or engaging in regular, but relaxing exercise. Journaling is another way to keep stress at bay. By putting your thoughts down on paper, you can evaluate and identify stressors. Avoid taking naps, says the expert, as these can deplete your sleep drive levels. If these tips don t alleviate painful feelings of loneliness, consider seeking help from a professional mental health counselor. Lynn C.

IDW shared their solicitations withLeague of Comic Geeks,includingStar Trek: Defiant18. IDW s solicitation for the issue reads as follows:. With Spock rotting in a Romulan cell aboard Sela's ship, the rest of the Defiant crew readies the farmers of Antara for an invasion by General Revo and his relentless Romulan army. This leaves Worf, B'Elanna, and Ro with two crewmates down, and despite how hopeful the planet's population is, what are three failed Starfleet officers and lowly resistance fighters to a heavily armed and technologically advanced Romulan strike team?. This story builds off the events of previous issues, which have seen the Romulan commander Sela s father make a bid for power in the Empire. . Sela s father feels this will beher chance to restore her glory and standing in the Romulan Empire. The solicitation mentions that Worf and the crew of theDefiantmust rally a group of simple farmers to fight back a Romulan invasion, and Unzueta s cover for the issue seems to reinforce this plot point. The story also bears a strong resemblance to Akira Kurosawa s immortal classicSeven Samurai. In that film, a group of peasants convinces seven masterless samurai to help them defend their village from bandits. Considered a high mark of Japanese cinema, as well as an acknowledged worldwide classic,Seven Samuraihas been remade several times over, most notably 1960 sThe Magnificent Seven. Star Trekitself was pitched as a space western, soSeven Samuraitranslating well into it should not come as a surprise. Several episodes ofStar Trekhave featured riffs onSeven Samurai, most notably in the sixth seasonDeep Space Nineepisode The Magnificent Ferengi, in which Quark and Romassemble a team of Ferengi torescue their mother. A second seasonEnterpriseepisode, titled Marauders, also touched on similar themes. The plot ofSeven Samuraitranslates well into the Western genre.Star Trekitself was pitched as a space western, soSeven Samuraitranslating well into it should not come as a surprise.Seven Samurai, much likeStar Trek,also features larger than life heroes who do the right thing. NowStar Trekis coming in with its most overt,Seven Samuraistyle plot yet. Angel Unzueta s cover shows Worf standing heroically, pointing at an unknown threat in the distance. Under Worf, the farmers stand ready to fight a fullscale Romulan invasion with pitchforks. The farmers look scared, but also appear to place their absolute faith in Worf. The sight of a heroic and defiant Worf, rallying the troops for a fight in which they are outgunned and outmanned, is the stuff ofStar Treklegend, and the franchise s riff onSeven Samurai.

Wyoming s ban on genderaffirming care went into effect July 1, restricting medical treatment like puberty blockers and hormone therapy for transgender youth. The Equality State is one of25 statesto pass such a law part of aflurry of antiLGBTQ legislationintroduced in recent years. Supporters of the Wyoming ban, likebillsponsor state Sen. Anthony Bouchard RCheyenne, say minors are making choices they may later regret. I think children just weren t ready to make those kinds of decisions, Bouchard said. Those are lifelong decisions, lifelong healthcare. . However,major medical associationssay that this kind of care can reduce feelings of depression among trans youth. Julie Burkhart runs Wellspring Health Access in Casper, which provides this type of treatment to a handful of minors. She said this population will seek care despite the new law, but there will be more obstacles in their way. It's going to potentially displace families where they feel like they have to move to a state where their child can get this adequate health care, Burkhart said. The U.S. Supreme Courtrecently announcedit will consider the constitutionality of these kinds of state laws in its next term, with arguments kicking off in the fall. That decision could impact bans in Wyoming, Idaho, Utah and Montana. Earlier this year, the U.S. Supreme CourtallowedIdaho s law to go into effect, except in the case of two anonymous plaintiffs. In Montana, a state judge temporarily blocked the genderaffirming care ban afteradvocates sued. Burkhart said she and others are looking at options to sue in Wyoming to block the ban, but they haven t filed anything yet.
