A secondary school in central China is facing criticism after a video emerged of employees forcing students to eat while standing next to a table, separating them by gender. The school canteen in Henan province was equipped with rows of tables without chairs that required the students to stand and hunch over as they ate, according to a viral video on Douyin, China s TikTok. The video was uploaded by a parttime employee, surnamed Li, who attends Donghua University in Shanghai, and was visiting the secondary school to help students with their university applications. The school defended its decision to remove chairs from the canteen, saying that although they initially had seats, they decided that removing them was more beneficial than harmful . Administrators said the chairs had previously tripped students several times, so standing while eating was safer . The school also added that students needed to stretch their legs and move around after sitting too long in classrooms. Li explained that separating the male and female students was meant to prevent early romantic relationships. It is common for parents in China to dissuade teen relationships so their children can focus on their studies. In the video caption, Li compared the school to a famous militarystyle secondary school in China, which is extremely controversial in the country. I would call this school a slightly better version of Hengshui, Li wrote. At Hengshui Secondary School, students follow strict rules and regulations, with the primary goal of achieving high scores on thegaokao, China s national college entrance exam. Despite criticisms, Hengshui s rigorous discipline has led to positive results, with a relatively high number of students earning admission to top universities in mainland China, prompting other schools to emulate its model. Other online observers remained sceptical about the Henan school s decision to remove the chairs. The school said its decision was in the interest of the students, but they don t care about the actual feelings of the children, one person commented. Is this a school or a prison? another person said. Yet, others pointed out that this is a common practice. My secondary school also removed the chairs in the canteen, said one online observer from Henan. Teachers told us it would make us eat faster so we could return to studying sooner. If there were chairs, everyone would sit and chat, slowing the eating process. . Last November, another secondary school in Hebei in north China was reported by angry parents for forcing students to eat while standing. However, both the school and the local education department claimed these students were willing to eat while standing because they loved to study , reported Dawan News. According to data released by provincial education departments, Henan had around 1.3 million students taking thegaokaoin 2024, 20 times the number of students taking the exam in Beijing. The province has consistently had the highest number of participants nationwide in recent years. Meanwhile, its college admission rate remains among the lowest in the country.

A secondary school in central China is under fire for making students eat standing up and separated by gender. The school argued that removing chairs was safer and prevented distractions. Critics compared the school to a militarystyle institution known for its strict rules. Despite backlash, such practices are not uncommon in China to prioritize academic focus. In another incident, a school in northern China faced criticism for similar policies.

Top judge asks students to return to classes as SC issues status quo on HC order. Quota Reform Demo: Protesters set to resume blockade today. Question racket runs deep. History of the quota system in Bangladesh. At least 41 people were killed in incidents of political violence in the first six months of 2024, which is three times higher than first six months of 2023, according to Rights Body Ain o Salish Kendra ASK. Fourteen people were killed and 2,422 were injured between January and June last year. The number of deaths rose to 45 by December last year. ASK prepared the report on information based on news reports published in national dailies, alongside its own findings. The rights body said the killings in political violence increased this year centring the general election on January 7, city corporation elections, and upazila polls held in four phases across the country. Many opposition parties, including BNP and JamaateIslami,boycotted the polls. So, the killings mostly took place among supporters of Awami League candidates and independent AL candidates during national polls, while during local elections, they took place among supporters of candidates affiliated with AL. Besides, the deaths in custody of police and Rab have doubled between January and June this year, compared to the same period in 2023, it also said. At least eight individuals, including two women, died in custody. One of the victims, Afroza Begum, 40, died in police custody of Jashore's Abhaynagar police, hours after she was picked up from her residence on June 1. Family members alleged that police first implicated Afroza in a false drug case and tortured her to death for money. Police, however, denied the allegations. Thirteen people were killed and 11 others were injured in shooting by Indian Border Security Forces in the last six months, while the number was 11 from January to June last year. A total of 250 women were raped across the country from January to July this year, among whom 14 were killed after rape and three died by suicide. The number was 294 in the same period last year, according to ASK. The ASK report also revealed that 631 children have become victims of killings, torture, and repression so far this year. Among those, 239 were killed, and 50 died by suicide. In the first six months of 2023, at least 806 children became victims of killings, torture, and repression, and 109 of them were killed. The cases of attacks on minorities, including the Hindu community, so far this year have included the attack and vandalism of 21 Hindu idols, temples, and puja mandaps, alongside the arson and vandalism of 25 houses. The last six months also saw 32 people killed in mob lynching, the report said.

Top judge urges students to return to classes as Supreme Court maintains status quo on High Court order about quota reform protests. At least 41 people killed in political violence in the first half of 2024, a significant rise from last year. Deaths during elections and custody, shootings by Indian border forces, and crimes against women and children have also surged this year. Minority attacks, including vandalism of Hindu idols and temples, have been reported.

SO PETER Dutton wants us to embrace nuclear power at enormous expense and way down the track! I suggest that he google how many countries who already have it are phasing it out. Loginor signup to continue reading. Before he leads us down that track he should do some research and not put out a rather silly thought bubble!. Glennis Sleurink, Launceston. AT LAST, we are seeing some interest regarding the most important part of our business lives, ports, shipping and logistics in general. Whilst the phrase "We are an Island" is repeated ad nauseam, the actual management of our most important assets seems to be in the hands of people that are simply not capable of managing the overall operation. We can't really blame the politicians, as understandably they have limited knowledge of such issues, however they are responsible in appointing the right people, to ensure that taxpayer's money is spent correctly and benefits most of the population. The current saga between TasPorts and the Antarctic division is simply unbelievable, but an incredibly expensive debacle that nobody wants to take responsibility for. The TT Line is not far behind, and only recently we spent an extra 90 million on a fixed price contract, to hopefully finish the project, sometime in the future. We need to review both Boards of Directors ASAP, to address the glaring problems and try to make the best out of a poor situation. We also need to embrace the old belief that ports and shipping exist to support local economies, as without them we will keep taking one step forward and two steps back. After all, we are an island.

LET'S be clear. Nuclear is a distraction. Keeping coal and gas is the aim. The Federal Liberal National talk about future nuclear The Examiner,June 21, is all about extending the life and profits of the coal and gas industries on the mainland. This will hurt us all, and the people and places we love. As our insurance premiums and council rates skyrocket, we are all paying for the ongoing pollution from coal and gas. In particular, talk of nuclear power provides cover for Mr Dutton's plan to sabotage the cheapest form of energy, renewable electricity with his "renewable caps". Tasmania can thrive in a decarbonising world with our clean electricity. Extending the polluting lives of coal and gas threatens that. We call on all candidates in the next federal election to stand for sciencebased energy and climate policies. The stakes are high and our Tasmanian way of life depends on it. Clare Smith, Tasmanian Climate Collective. MR ADLER The Examiner,June 26 assumes that because 23,000 Tasmanians publicly support the Macquarie Point Stadium, the rest of Tasmania is against it.

Matthias Zomervia PexelsMatthias Zomervia Pexels. By ALISON KUZNITZState House News Service. State House News Service. BOSTON The House chair of the Elder Affairs Committee lambasted the Senate s monthslong delay in taking up a longterm care reform bill this week, but his Senate cochair later expressed optimism about the legislation reaching Gov. Maura Healey s desk this session. We are working very hard with the Ways and Means staff and the Senate president s staff, and I am confident that we will pass a strong bill, Sen. Pat Jehlen told the News Service. Asked about the Senate s timeline to tackle the reform package with less than a month remaining for formal sessions, Jehlen said, In time to get it before the governor. . The bill has been stalled in the Senate Ways and Means Committee since Nov. 20. It s very discouraging, Elder Affairs Committee cochair Rep. Thomas Stanley told the News Service. There really hasn t been much action at all from the Senate. In fact, the House passed four health carerelated major bills, and we ve heard nothing from the Senate. And time is ticking there s less than four weeks to go and not a lot of time to negotiate differences. . Beyond longterm care, the House has passed bills dealing with maternal health, hospital oversight and reform, and the opioid crisis. The Senate in the fall passed a bill to rein in prescription drug costs; it s also been stuck in the House Ways and Means Committee since Nov. 20. A spokesperson for Senate President Karen Spilka declined to respond to Stanley s comments, and to News Service questions about whether and when the branch would tackle the longterm care bill. Flipart. Typeshift. SpellTower. Really Bad Chess. Addressing the persistent challenges within the longterm care sector will not only improve the quality of care that residents receive, but it will also increase capacity and help acute care hospitals more efficiently discharge patients to the appropriate postacute care settings, Mariano told the News Service. If the bill does not pass, I worry that we ll have missed an opportunity to really improve patient care and safety, address our workforce issues, and ensure that we have greater accountability and transparency in the sector, which I think is what everybody wants, Gregorio said. We ve certainly weighed in and encouraged the Senate to pass the bill as is, and maybe there will be a couple of other sections, but together that package of reforms, and workforce development and quality improvements, make a bestinthenation type of legislation. . Jennifer Benson, state director of AARP Massachusetts, called on lawmakers to reform the longterm care sector in the aftermath of the COVID19 pandemic and to prepare for the commonwealth s aging population. We re in constant contact with legislators and we re optimistic that the bill will be taken up soon, Benson said. We re encouraged the Legislature has made this a priority and remain hopeful that it will pass. . Stanley pointed out other priority bills for the Elder Affairs Committee are also lodged before legislative panels. Jehlen, asked about the assisted living bill, said, We hope to pass that, as well. . . . . . . . 07112024 1:05 PM. 07112024 11:08 AM. 07112024 11:03 AM. 07112024 10:49 AM.

ByReuters. India's Emcure Pharmaceuticals drew strong interest for its 234 million initial public offering IPO as investors bet on its slate of women's healthcare and HIV treatments to drive growth in a highmargin market. The Bain Capitalbacked company's IPO was fully subscribed on the first day of bidding and over the threeday process, it got bids worth up to 937.11 billion rupees 11.23 billion, nearly 68 times the amount on offer, exchange data showed. Bain sold nearly a third of its 13.07 stake in Emcure, with existing investors overall selling shares worth 11.52 billion rupees. Emcure raised 8 billion rupees by issuing new shares in the IPO, which valued the company at up to 190.60 billion rupees, per Reuters calculations. Emcure is going public in India's redhot IPO market where more than 100 companies have raised around 4.6 billion through IPOs so far this year, more than double the same period last year, as per LSEG data. Analysts are betting on its focus on areas such as gynaecology, where it has a marketleading 14 share, and HIV treatments. The generics market is dominated by firms such as Sun Pharma, Mankind Pharma, Torrent Pharma and Abbott India. Institutional buyers, including foreign investors, banks and mutual funds, bid for 196 times the shares on offer, while retail investors bid for seven times their reserved shares. Anchor investors, including Goldman Sachs and Abu Dhabi Investment Authority ADIA, had earlier bought shares worth a total of 5.83 billion rupees. Emcure's expansionrelated spending has hit earnings over the last two years but the rampup of facilities will boost sales in the near term, said Sneha Poddar, vice president of research at Motilal Oswal Financial Services. The stock's pricetoearnings ratio of 36.6 is also attractive compared to the industry average of 40.4, and can help it "pop" in its trading debut, analysts said.

COLUMBIA, S.C. WIS Changes are coming to the way most judges are selected in South Carolina, one of two states where the legislature picks the judiciary. Gov. Henry McMaster signedthe new lawthis week, following more than a year of calls for judicial reform. But the governor also made clear to lawmakers: He does not believe their work on this issue is done. The status quo is unacceptable, and this bill does change a few things, but I view it only as the first few steps, McMaster said at a State House news conference. That s the message he sent to legislatorsin a letter,telling them he would sign their judicial reform bill into law but that it is incomplete. They made some progress, but not nearly enough, McMaster said. The lawfocuses significantly on the Judicial Merit Selection Commission, or JMSC, the committee that screens judicial candidates and advances the names of those qualified for seats to the full General Assembly, which elects them. It will expand the panel s membership from 10 members to 12, four of whom will be appointed by the governor, who currently has no role in the judicial selection process. But McMaster believes he should make at least half of the appointments, with the executive branch coequal with the legislature, which chooses the rest. The new law will impose term limits on screening panel members for the first time and prohibit most current JMSC members from serving on this revamped version. But it will still permit lawyers who are also legislators to serve on the committee, a ban some wanted to see. The governor told lawmakers he believes lawyerlegislators should make up less than half the panel s membership if allowed to serve on it at all. Chief among the areas where McMaster believes these changes fall short is the exclusion of any reforms to the current magistrate judge system. That is vitally important. Those magistrates the magistrates court is where most of the legal business in the state is done, McMaster said. Most people don t ever see the inside of a circuit court or sometimes family court. . Senators entirely control magistrate selection, and the upper chamber s majority leader said reform of some fashion isn t off the table in the future. There are a number of people who are willing to talk about those things. There are some senators who are very protective of that suits me to give it up completely. They re a pain in my butt, Senate Majority Leader Shane Massey, R Edgefield, said. But I think that is something that is likely going to be talked about into the future, especially if we continue to have problems in that area, there s going to be more conversation. . The changes this new law makes won t go into effect until July of next year. So McMaster wants to see lawmakers come back to the table when they return to Columbia in January and pass additional measures before that July 2025 implementation. Ultimately, he favors a selection system akin to the federal model, in which the governor would appoint judges, with senators approval. But that would require a change to the state constitution to implement, and there is significant reluctance among lawmakers to do that. You can read the governor s full signing statement, including the further reforms he wishes to see the legislature enact, below:. 20240703 Gov. McMaster to Pres. Alexander Re S. 1046 Signing StatementbyMayra Parrillaon Scribd. Copyright 2024 WIS. All rights reserved.

South Carolina Governor McMaster signed a new law for judicial reform, suggesting it's just the beginning, as more changes are needed. The law expands the Judicial Merit Selection Commission and imposes term limits on members, but fails to address reforms in the magistrate judge system. McMaster wants additional measures before the law's implementation in July 2025, aiming for a selection process similar to the federal model.

Florida environmental regulators on Monday settled a federal lawsuit with advocacy groups over the 2021 Piney Point wastewater disaster that dumped 215 million gallons of polluted water into Tampa Bay, likely sparking a red tide outbreak that caused widespread fish kills. Five environmental advocacy groups agreed to dismiss their lawsuit against the state once regulators issue a permit aimed to prevent future pollution disasters and lay the groundwork for enforceable oversight atthe troubled Manatee County phosphate plant. Piney Point operated for more than two decades without the Clean Water Act permit meant to curb pollution from emptying into nearby waterways. The Florida Department of Environmental Protection also agreed to pay 75,000 for water quality monitoring around the area where Piney Point wastewater dumps into Tampa Bay. The money will go toward the Tampa Bay Estuary Program s efforts to track oxygen levels, nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations and other metrics to determine the bay s health. This failing facility has loomed over Tampa Bay for decades without any accountability, and this permit changes that, said Ragan Whitlock, a staff attorney at the Center for Biological Diversity, which was part of the lawsuit. In many ways, this is too little too late, he added. Florida failed to properly regulate this facility, and the harm from the 2021 discharge can never be undone. It is unacceptable that it took citizensuit enforcement and a massive pollution event to compel our state regulators to do their job. . The groups that sued the state, including the nonprofit Our Children s Earth Foundation and Tampa Bay Waterkeeper, say the settlement will improve transparency about water quality dumping from the plant and restricts pollutants known to cause ecological harm in Florida s largest openwater estuary. In their 2021 lawsuit, the groups alleged a decade of bad decisions by Florida regulators that directly led to the crisis. . The state agreed to post future reports online of pollution leaving the Piney Point facility within 10 days of receiving them, according to the settlement. A spokesperson for the Florida Department of Environmental Protection did not respond to requests for comment. The phosphate plant skirted environmental laws for over 20 years, and it took organizations coming together to push the state into compliance, according to Dan Snyder, director of Public Justice s Environmental Enforcement Project. The settlement is a win for Floridians and shows just how important citizen suits are in an age where regulators are too cozy with polluting industries, he said. Subscribe to our free DayStarter newsletter. A 2023 research paper suggested the plume of dirty water leaving the troubled phosphate plant in 2021 had spread farther than previously thought,flowing outside of Tampa Bay and more than 30 miles awayto waters near Tarpon Springs. The study added more scientific weight to the theory that red tide and otheralgal bloomsthat flared during summer 2021 were linked to the nutrientladen discharges from Piney Point. Last year, Manatee County utility crews drilled a well to a saltwater aquifer 3,300 feet below the earth s surface to begin pumping Piney Point s water underground. As of Friday, more than 209 million gallons had been transferred for disposal underground, according to Florida environmental regulators. That s enough water to fill more than 315 Olympic swimming pools. The Tampa Bay Timestoured the phosphate plantlast last year to document progress on the site s eventual closure. Herb Donica, a lawyer and the courtappointed overseer of the plant, told the Times that shutting the plant down is an angry animal. It s time consuming and expensive, he said. While a stateapproved plan had estimated Piney Point would close by December, site managers said earlier this year it will likely be mid2025. After the disaster, the site owners HRK Holdings entered bankruptcy. The groups who sued the state are still seeking accountability for the company from a U.S. district judge. The Piney Point disaster shook the Tampa Bay community to its core. It wasn t too long ago that shorelines once teeming with life were littered with all kinds of dead fish for months. If you had previously found it swimming in Tampa Bay, it was likely dead after Piney Point, said Justin Tramble, executive director of Tampa Bay Waterkeeper. This brings some closure to the past and shifts the focus to making sure mechanisms are in place to prevent even more tragedy in the future. .

Montana House and Senate Democrats officially announced their proposal for longterm property tax relief. In a press conference at the state capitol, they addressed three areas that will help cut property taxes for low and middleincome Montanans, protect working Montanans, and ensure millionaires and major corporations pay their fair share of taxes. "House and Senate democrats are unified behind brining solutions for meaningful, immediate, and longlasting property tax relief," said Representative Jonathan Karlen. It would also create a new tiered residential property tax rate that would cut taxes for low and middleincome Montanans while making sure the owners of high value mansions pay their fair share. An example of their longterm property tax relief plan: A family earning 80,000year with a 4,500 tax bill will get a 875 credit. A senior with a 50,000 income and 3,500 tax bill will get 1,575 in the credit. If their taxes go up, the credit will adjust accordingly. However, when it comes to this issue, Montana Democrats aren't along in trying to address it. "Less than 90,000 Montanans would have been eligible for Democrats proposed tax credit HB 280. More than three times as many Montanans 290,000 were eligible for the property tax rebates that Republicans passed," saidKyle Schmauch, a spokesperson for Senate Republicans. They are discussing the proposal again on Monday, July 8. "The Democrats aren t offering any new or better ideas, but it s encouraging to see them endorsing a version of Republicans plans," said Schmauch. When it comes to where the money will come from, Democrats say there are a number of loopholes and exemptions that Republicans have given to large corporations over the years that we would close to pay for the plan.

The program for the exhibition will include artist walkthroughs and workshops.The artist s latest body of work, titled Dystopia features gestural paintings and two installation works that confront the complex relationship between an individual and the sociopolitical systems within which they exist stirring a conversation on the inherent struggles of the human condition and its psychosis. Hashan Cooray s interdisciplinary practice that blends drawing, painting, digital art, installation, and mixed media breaks away from traditional portraiture to uncover the human psyche. Repurposing propaganda posters and commercial advertisements, Cooray attempts to confront the way in which society is caught up in the web of nationalism, capitalism, and consumerism.His work has been featured in both group and solo exhibitions at Saskia Fernando Gallery, Lionel Wendt Art Centre and JDA Gallery. The artist has also been featured in the Imago Mundi Book Project published by the Benetton Foundation and is featured in multiple private collections in Sri Lanka. Cooray s work in the advertising sector deeply influences his art practice, delving into Freudian psychology as he explores the way in which the unconscious mind is negatively impacted by capitalist and consumerist forces. Cooray chooses to externalise these concepts through the morphing and distortion of the human form that rejects traditional conventions of art, reflecting the artist s affinity with the antiart movement. Dystopia will feature two installations, one of which comprises sixty metres of newspaper headlines from the 2022 Aragalaya protest movement and the aftermath. Cooray s foray into installations in the exhibition furthers his conversation on the entanglement of individual lives with political systems and provides an interactive space for the audience to actively engage with these themes.Elements from popular culture and advertisements appear within his compositions creating a disruption in Cooray s portraits. These elements not only highlight the pervasive influence of media and advertising on society but also challenges viewers to reconsider their own participation in and attitudes toward a consumercentric world. Hashan continues to question the concept of the public gaze, explored in his previous exhibitions. . . . . . . . . Editorial :. 94 0112 479 356 , 94 0112 479 780. 94 0112 447 848.

Boxing News 24. Ryan Garcia s dad says Devin Haney might not take the rematch with his son. At this point, he s not sure Haney wants it because of how badly Ryan beat him on April 20th in his twelveround majority decision defeat at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. Henry feels that if Haney 310, 15 KOs does choose to fight Ryan again, it s for the money because this stock has dropped from the loss. He thinks Haney would then take the fight against Ryan and retire. Haney s talk about wanting to take a year off indicates that he doesn t feel he can make similar money fighting anyone else during Ryan s remaining nine months of suspension and doesn t want to risk getting beaten by someone. Garcia s Golden Opportunities. According to Henry, Ryan could face one of these three fighters when he returns from his suspension:. If Ryan 241, 20 KOs has those three options, he really doesn t need a rematch with Haney because his stock has dropped too far for him to be helpful as a Bside opponent. Haney would be a drag on the promotion, hurting interest in the fight because fans would view him as having a chance in the rematch with Ryan. The best way for Haney to prevent a further drop in his popularity would be to get a couple of solid wins during the next nine months. That would be the best way for Haney to improve his chances of being given the rematch with Ryan and not hurt the promotion. Unfortunately, Haney probably won t do that because he won t want to take chances of getting beaten once or twice and being sent into retirement. Money Talks, Stock Drops. There ain t going to be a rematch because they don t really want it. They don t know which way to go. First, they Bill Devin Haney said, No, I ve been hurt. Now, they re like, Wait a minute. We can make more money. So, maybe we should say, let s do the rematch,' said Henry Garcia toCampas On The Beatwhen asked if a rematch between Devin Haney and Ryan Garcia will happen. Haney doesn t have anyone else he can fight that will make him the kind of money that he can get fighting Ryan. Devin s options:. They don t really know, but deep down inside, they don t want it. It would be really bad for Team Haney, said Henry. And maybe that s why he wants the rematch because he Haney wants more money because his popularity went down. His stock went down. You know that. CashOut Potential. So, it s like, What else is there? Let s make as much money as we can, and let s get out,' said Henry Garcia about Haney. Henry has Haney figured out, and he could be right. If Haney faces Ryan again, it would likely be a cashout in the traditional sense, in which he gets a final payday and retires afterward. The money won t be enough for Haney to live on billionaires row in the Hamptons in New York, but he ll be able to buy a beautiful house in the flats section inBeverly Hills. That s the more affordable section of Beverly Hills. Of course, if even the flats is out of Haney s price range, he can move to nearby West Hollywood, where the houses are more inexpensive. I would something like that rematch with Gervonta Davis, Teofimo or Isaac Cruz definitely in 10 months, and they all want it. So, we re here to fight, said Henry about the fights he wants for his son, Ryan Garcia, once the remaining nine months of his suspension ends. There s an excellent chance that Ryan will get his pick of the big three Tank, Pitbull, and Teofimo when he returns from his suspension. Again, Haney needs to get a couple of solid wins to enter into Ryan s orbit for the lucrative rematch to get the lifechanging dough to move to Beverly Hills or wherever he wants. Garcia s Confidence in Facing Top Talent. Yes, of course, said Henry when asked if Ryan can beat WBC WBO junior middleweight champion Sebastian Fundora. I ve seen Ryan fight guys that tall and that weight, and he s dropped them really bad. . Ryan s powerful left hook would more than makeup for his lack of height against the 6 5 Sebastian Fundora at 154 if he chose to go in that direction. That fight won t pay nearly as much as a rematch with Tank Davis. I m telling you, that left hook is dangerous, and he s got a good right, too. I ve seen it. If he said it, I believe him, said Henry. Ryan s left hook is so powerful that if he connects with it on any junior middleweight, it ll have the same effect on them as Haney. .

It cannot be stressed enough that the corporation as a taxpaying entity is a fiction. And the previous assertion should in no way be construed as a suggestion that corporations pay no taxes. Quite the opposite. At the same time, this writeup s opening line is just a comment that shareholders pay all corporate taxes, which means the actual corporations have already paid taxes in large amounts. Evidence supporting the previous claim can be found in routine statistical analyses from theNew York Timesthat the top 10 percent of American earners own roughly 85 of the shares in U.S. public companies. From there, never forget that the top 1 of U.S. earners account for roughly 40 percent of federal tax receipts, while the top 110thof 1 percent account for roughly 20 percent of federal intake on their own. If you then expand it out to the top 10 percent of earners, it s easy to see that the individuals who own the vast majority of public U.S. shares already pay well over half of all the federal taxes collected. Yet Democrats in particular, but Republicans in Congress too, desire a corporate tax. They re just fighting over numbers. Democrats want to bring the headline rate back to 28 percent, while Republicans want the existing 21 percent rate to be retained after the Trump Tax Cuts expire in 2025. In fairness to the GOP, some want to bring the number down to 15 percent. Ok, but why is the GOP so longfingered? How about zero?. Think about it. Shareholders own companies and those shareholders already account for the vast majority of tax receipts through taxes on their income. In which case a corporate tax isn t a tax on corporations per se, as much as it s a double tax on individuals who have already been fleeced. Let s call the corporate tax Congress s way arrogating to itself an even bigger slice of individual wealth. No thanks. Going a bit more granular, policy types including Brad Setser at the Council on Foreign Relations are yet again making noise that corporations pay no taxes, and that pharmaceutical corporations in particular don t pay. See above to understand the fatuity of such a view. There are quite simply so no corporations without capital, and by extension the shareholders who provide the capital, so the mere insinuation about corporations yes, they are shareholders not paying taxes is a bit troublesome. Yet there s more. What Setser suggests isn t even true about corporations, pharmaceutical corporations in particular. Take some of the biggest of the big including AbbVie, Johnson Johnson, Lilly, Merck, and Pfizer. Last year, they combined for 9.3 billion in tax intake for the U.S. Treasury. Which means the rich and very rich who already pay the most in taxes by far actually paid more than advertised given the odd propensity among policy types to presume that corporations are others on the tax front. No, corporations are individuals who pay taxes, plus they re owned by heavily taxed individuals. Yet there s still more. The rich, precisely because they re rich, can t spend it all as quickly as those who aren t. And since they can t, the wealth they haven t consumed happily finds its way to savings that morph into crucial investment directed toward finding the future. Looked at alone, Pfizer, Merck and Johnson Johnson directed 57 billion in 2023 to RD expenses meant to create the drugs of tomorrow that will vastly improve our health and wellness, including turning killer diseases into afterthoughts. Which is a small reminder that when corporations are taxed, wealth is taxed, and the loser in the bargain isprogress. Which means we all lose when Congress decides that having not fleeced the rich enough, it will go after even more of their wealth through a corporate tax. More realistically, and in a comment on how much wallet share Congress already enjoys, the only reasonable corporate tax iszero.

Corporations are seen as taxpaying entities, but shareholders bear most of the burden. The top earners own the majority of shares and pay a significant percentage of federal taxes. Despite this, there is ongoing debate in Congress about corporate tax rates. Stifling corporate taxes could hinder investment in research and healthcare. Advocates suggest taxing corporations further is detrimental to progress and wealth creation, and the best tax rate for corporations may be zero.

ByJonah McKeown for CNA. July 10, 2024Catholic News AgencyNews Briefs0Print. . CNA Staff, Jul 10, 2024 13:57 pm CNA. Bishop A. Elias Zaidan, chairman of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops Committee on International Justice and Peace, offered support Wednesday for a Catholic school in Gaza after an alleged Israeli raid over the weekend and reported civilian casualties. The Holy Family School has been a place of refuge for hundreds of civilians, and I join the Latin Patriarchate in condemning any targeting of civilians in the Holy Family School in Gaza, Zaidan saidin a July 10 statement. I urge in strongest terms that civilians remain outside the sphere of combat, while also praying for peace and an immediate end to hostilities. . Zaidan leads the Maronite Eparchy of Our Lady of Lebanon, encompassing a large portion of the western United States from California to Ohio. On Sunday the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalemsharply condemnedreports of the Israeli raid. Imagescirculated on social mediaon Sunday and Monday showing the destruction wrought at the facility. The school, attached to theonly Catholic church in Gaza,is located in the Remal neighborhood of Gaza City, an area that sustained heavy damage at the outset of the IsraelHamas war in October 2023. The patriarchate said ina Sunday press releasethat it was monitoring, with grave concern, the news of the raids, apparently launched by the Israeli army against the Holy Family School. Gazan authoritieslater saidfour civilians were killed in the attack; Israel s militarysaidthe school complex was used as a militant hideout and housed a Hamas weapons manufacturing facility. . Hamas said that Ehab alGhussein, Gaza s deputy minister of labor, was among the four people killed in the airstrike, CNNreported. While not commenting on whether Hamas militants were present at the school, the Latin Patriarchate said Holy Family School has, since the beginning of the war, been a place of refuge for hundreds of civilians. . We continue to pray for the Lord s mercy and hope that the parties will reach an agreement that would put an immediate end to the horrifying bloodbath and humanitarian catastrophe in the region. . Holy Family Parish in Gaza was the site of a similar reported conflict late last year when in December it was alleged that an Israel Defense Forces IDF sniper shot and killed two women within the parish compound. IDFdenied the allegations several times, while Pope Francis sharply criticized the reports after they became known, arguing that at the Catholic parish, there were no terrorists, but families, children, sick and disabled people, nuns. .

These are the rates or costs you pay an insurance company in return for coverage. Your lender then pays the premium annually to your property insurer.

The quote typically details what coverage your potential policy would provide and at what coverage limits. The quote should also show how much you would be expected to pay to keep the policy active. This is your premium. Keep in mind that premiums can vary between insurance companies, so it s usually a good idea to shop around for insurance before purchasing a policy. Additionally, your quoted premium could change as the insurance provider finalizes your policy and verifies information.

A warning from the Seprona branch of the Guardia Civil's headquarters in Malaga prompted Spain's Ministry of Health to withdraw from sale the following products: Miel d'Afrique, Royal Honey VIP, Jaguar Power and Royal Honey Plus. According to analyses carried out by the Spanish Agency for Medicines and Health Products AEMPS, these four stimulants contain the active substance sildenafil in sufficient quantity to restore, correct or modify a physiological function by exerting a pharmacological action, which gives them the legal status of being medicinal products. This substance is not mentioned on the labelling, but is presented as a natural product, concealing its true composition from the consumer. Sildenafil is a medicine, or drug, used to restore impaired erectile function by increasing penile blood flow by means of selective inhibition of the enzyme phosphodiesterase 5 PDE5. As explained by AEMPS, PDE5 inhibitors are a contraindication for patients with any of the most common heart problems such as all types of angina, acute myocardial infarction, heart failure, arrhythmia, anyone with hypotension blood pressure below 9050 mmHg or hypertension, those with a history of strokes, severe hepatic impairment liver not working and in people with a history of several, hereditary, retinal disorders. Furthermore, these inhibitors should not be taken with quite a few other medications as they could cause adverse reactions of varying severity. Taking cardiovascular as an example, their use has been associated with acute myocardial infarction, unstable angina, ventricular arrhythmia, palpitations, tachycardia, stroke, and even sudden cardiac death. These adverse reactions have occurred to a greater extent in patients with a history of cardiovascular risk factors, so that is why they should have been labelled correctly with contraindications mentioned. Considering the risks mentioned above, as well as the fact that these products have not been subject to evaluation and authorisation prior to marketing by AEMPS, the agency has taken the precautionary measure of prohibiting their marketing and has requested their withdrawal from sale and all product units to be removed from shelves.

Forget about those nasty bitinggreenhead flies, thefrigid ocean waterand rude people who plant their beach chairs and umbrellas right next to you.

In some towns, the fog was so thick at the waters edge today, lifeguards urged swimmers to stay close to shore because it was difficult to see.njnjwxnewjerseyhumidsummerjerseyshoretomsriverbelmar. The fog just rolled into Point Pleasant Beach west of the tracks, News 12 New Jersey reporterJim Murdoch said in a post on Xshortly after 6 p.m. on Monday. Reminds me of the smoke last summer, but without the smell and breathing issues. . Murdoch posted a photo showing the fog eclipsing the sun. It looked eerily similar to scenes ofdense smoke from massive Canadian wildfireshovering over streets and blocking the sun as far south as New Jersey last summer. So what s been causing the recent fog at the Jersey Shore?. The really warm temperatures and high dew points are condensing into fog when the air moves over the ocean, which has remained cool despite searing temperatures, said Michael Gorse, a meteorologist at theNational Weather Service s main forecast office in New Jersey. Gorse said fog along the Shore tends to be more common earlier in the summer, mainly in the morning, but it has been developing the past few days because of the intense heat and very high humidity clashing with cold sea surface temperatures out in the Atlantic Ocean. During recent weeks, persistent winds have been blowing from the south and southwest, pushing warm water on the ocean surface to the bottom and causing cold water from the ocean floor to be churned to the surface. The process, known as upwelling, has led to clear greenishblue water along many parts of the Jersey Shore and also has causedcolder air to blow from the ocean onto beaches. Gorse said winds shifted slightly Monday afternoon, blowing from the southeast. That caused new batches of fog to form over the Atlantic and pushed some of the fog from the ocean onto the land. Thick fog formed again late Monday night and Tuesday morning, prompting the weather service to issuedense fog advisoriesin many counties, including those along the Jersey Shore. .

Thick fog made its presence known at the Jersey Shore, affecting visibility for beachgoers. The fog is caused by warm temperatures and high humidity meeting cold sea surface temperatures, creating dense fog rolling in from the ocean. Upwelling from persistent winds mixing warm surface water with cooler water from the ocean floor is another contributing factor. The National Weather Service issued dense fog advisories along the Jersey Shore.

Menu. ROMULUS, Mich. WXYZ Delta flight 136 took off from the Detroit metro airport heading to Amsterdam late Tuesday night. A few hours into the flight, the plane had to be diverted to New York s John F. Kennedy airport due to some of the passengers being served spoiled food. I just feel like a company like Delta should know better with food safety, especially in regards to chicken, Jason Mijat of Dearborn Heights said. Mijat was one of the 277 passengers on flight 136. He was traveling to Croatia by way of Amsterdam and had some of the chicken that caused the situation. I did hear a lot of comments about when it was given, when people ate it that it was gross. Personally, I felt very similar about it. I only took a bite and I was done, Mijat said. It didn t taste right. It didn t taste good. It s not like a bad seasoning it almost taste kind of sour, said Shahrzad Javid, a passenger from Louisville. Shortly after the chicken was served, passengers got a message from the pilot. About 3 a.m. and all of a sudden, the lights snap on, pilot s talking saying that we re going to turn around due to the possibility of contaminated food, Mijat said. Once the plane landed in New York, some passengers and crew members were checked out by medical personnel. Thankfully, no one had to be taken to the hospital. General consensus across the board is the worst was just a little stomach pain, Mijat said. All passengers did get rebooked on different flights to their destination. Mijat says his travel plans were thrown off by all of this. I m a whole day behind, got to book my own transportation and figure everything out once I get to Europe, Mijat added. Delta Airlines sent 7 News Detroit a statement about the spoiled food saying:.

Spoiled food served on Delta flight 136 from Detroit to Amsterdam caused a diversion to JFK airport in New York. Passengers complained of the chicken tasting off and sour, prompting the pilot to warn of possible contamination. Medical checks revealed only minor issues, and all passengers were rebooked on other flights.

News release. Assemblyman Tom Lackey, RPalmdale, issued a statement Tuesday denouncing the governor s weaker initiative on retail theft, which passed the Assembly Public Safety Committee on partisan lines. This lastminute proposal is a scam designed to manipulate and undermine the people s initiative. It is an abuse of power to further the governor s agenda, Lackey, a member of the Public Safety Committee and a retired California Highway Patrol officer, said in a news release after the committee passed Senate Bill 1381. Retailers, momandpop shops, and jewelry stores throughout California are being robbed at unprecedented rates due to Proposition 47 s lack of consequences for criminal activities, said the statement from Lackey, whose district includes some eastern portions of the Santa Clarita Valley. Nearly a million citizens, along with law enforcement officials, have endorsed an initiative that will curb rampant theft and address the deaths caused by fentanyl, he added. Let the people vote up or down on the qualified initiative to restore accountability for thieves and ensure punishment for fentanyl dealers. . Related story:tinyurl.com3zrn4cf7.

Color Scheme. Subscriber Actions. Staff Options. Washington Post. LONDON The United Kingdom s centerleft Labour Party appears to have defeated the centerright Conservative Party in a historic landslide, according to exit polls. Former lefty lawyer turned ruthless centrist Keir Starmer of the Labour Party is expected to become the nation s next prime minister, relegating incumbent Rishi Sunak s Conservatives to officialopposition status. In an election that was more about mood than policy, voters appear to have conveyed their frustration with the Conservative Party and a willingness to give a chance to a renewed Labour Party, purged of its hardleft elements and socialist rhetoric. Sunak s campaign had been dogged by gaffes and microscandals. Voters appear impatient with Tory promises of a sunlit tomorrow. They are ready for Labour. The results are expected to shift into the formalities of a government transition Friday, with the blessing of King Charles III. Voters in this election say the issues they care most about are the economy and health care. Labour is seen as stronger on both counts. Keir Starmer wants to shore up the British economy and address people s sense that everyday costs have become unmanageable. He wants to cut soaring electricity costs with a new staterun green utility company. He wants to cut wait times for medical and dental appointments. Britain s foreign policy hardly ever changes under a new government. Tony Travers, a politics expert at the London School of Economics, said foreign policy would remain amazingly unaltered by a shift from Conservative to Labour rule. Starmer has said Britain will remain a strong member of NATO; will back Ukraine in its war against Russia; and will support Israel s right to defend itself against Hamas, while calling for a ceasefire. Although Brexit is seen as a flop, and there is no enthusiasm for another referendum, Britain under Starmer will probably seek a closer relationship with the European Union. YouGov predicted in its final poll, conducted between June 19 and July 2, that Keir Starmer s Labour Party will win 431 seats, Rishi Sunak s Conservatives 102 seats and Ed Davey s Liberal Democrats 72 seats. Nigel Farage s rightwing Reform UK party is predicted to win three seats. If these numbers are accurate, the election would give Labour its largest majority in modern history bigger even than Tony Blair s 1997 landslide victory of 418 seats. While all the polls suggest Labour is set to trounce the Conservatives, there is variation in the polls. Different pollsters use different methodologies and there are also a sizable number of people who tell pollsters they don t know how they are going to vote. Conservatives have tried to rev up their voters by warning of a Labour supermajority, but that isn t a term that has real meaning in Britain s parliamentary system. Legislation passes as long as just over 50 of lawmakers vote for it. And as long as Labour wins a simple majority of seats, it can form a government and expect to pass much of its program. Governing parties seek to maintain strict discipline in the House of Commons by sending written instructions to lawmakers indicating how they should vote. On important bills, lawmakers who rebel can be kicked out of the party as punishment, or lose the whip. . . Video Embed Code.

SEATTLE AHeat Advisoryissued for much of western Washington took effect on Friday at noon as temperatures are expected to approach and even exceed 90 degrees over the weekend. The National Weather Service NWS said the heat advisory will run through 10 p.m. Monday. The advisory area extends north to the CanadaU.S. border, east to North Bend, south to Chehalis and Randle and west to the Olympic Peninsula. KING 5 has activated First Alert for this weather event, which could affect lives, property or travel in the Pacific Northwest region. During this event, the First Alert Weather Team will bring you the latest information to keep you and your family safe. The NWS said the higherthanaverage temperatures mean people face a moderate to major risk of heatrelated illness, especially those who are heat sensitive and people without effective cooling or adequate hydration. According to the NWS, temperatures will continue to be well above average beyond the advisory timeline into next week. People are advised to drink plenty of fluids, stay in airconditioned spaces, stay out of the sun, and check in on neighbors and relatives who may be more sensitive to heatrelated illnesses. High pressure will settle along the coast on Friday into Saturday, pushing high temperatures into the mid 80s with a few warmer spots in the 90s. Saturday through Monday will be unusually hot for Puget Sound with Sunday looking to be the hottest day by a few degrees over Saturday and Monday. Sunday highs may be in the mid80s to the mid90s with some of the hottest places approaching the upper 90s. Saturday through Monday are First Alert weather days due to the hot temperatures occurring over a series of hot days allowing heat to build up, especially in urban areas and in communities with vulnerable populations. As the ridge of high pressure moves east of the Cascades Monday we should see a little cooling, dropping highs into the 80s to low 90s in most places in the interior of western Washington with some minor relief. However, the high pressure will take up residence near Idaho and western Montana for the remainder of the week. This should put Puget Sound in a sunny and slowly cooling pattern with highs mostly in the upper 70s and 80s through at least midweek. Notifications can be turned off anytime in the browser settings.

A Heat Advisory has been issued for western Washington, with temperatures expected to reach or exceed 90 degrees over the weekend. People are warned of the risks of heat-related illnesses and advised to stay hydrated, seek cool areas, and check on vulnerable individuals. High temperatures will persist beyond the advisory, peaking on Sunday before gradually cooling down by midweek.

Jul 03, 2024NewsdeskLatest News,Singapore,Top of the deck. Singapore s parliament gave a first reading on Tuesday to a bill that will among other things amend the citystate s Casino Control Act to tighten requirements for casino operators to conduct due diligence on the source of player funds. The proposed enabling measure is the AntiMoney Laundering and Other Matters Bill. Singapore has a casino duopoly shared between Resorts World Sentosa, operated by Genting Singapore Ltd, and Marina Bay Sands, promoted by Las Vegas Sands Corp. In relation to casino due diligence, the amendent will cover not only the topics of antimoney laundering AML and combatting the financing of terrorism CFT, but now also proliferation financing . The Parisbased watchdog the Financial Action Task Force FATF defines the latter as funds or financial services used for nuclear, chemical or biological weapons in contravention of national laws or international obligations. . The statement added, referring to the local gaming regulator: The Gambling Regulatory Authority of Singapore will be empowered to issue regulations requiring casino operators to detect or prevent proliferation financing. . The ministry noted that currently the country s casino operators are required to perform customer due diligence on patrons when the casino operator either enters a single cash transaction involving SGD10,000 US7,371 or more, or receives SGD5,000 or more in a single transaction to be deposited into a customer deposit account. The quantum for when customer due diligence checks is required will be lowered to cover cash transactions or depositsinvolving SGD4,000 or more, confirmed the ministry. Casinos not directly complicit . The Money Laundering Risk Assessment Report Singapore 2024, publicised recently by the Singapore authorities, stated that while the city s casinos faced moderately high riskin relation to being exposed to such crime, the relevant enforcement agencies have not encountered any instance where the casinos were found to be directly complicit in money laundering activities in Singapore . That report added the authorities had only observed a low number of cases where criminal proceeds were converted to casino chips for selflaundering purposes . Though it noted: Nonetheless, our law enforcement agencies have investigated a handful of cases concerning thirdparty money laundering facilitated by a casino. . A case study quoted by the report mentioned an alleged conspiracy to cheat vessel owners of fuel not actually delivered. One of the accused perpetrators was found to have used most of his alleged proceeds of crime, amounting to about SGD1.9 million, to purchase casino chips at one of the casinos in Singapore, stated the report, without naming the property. It added that court proceedings are ongoing . The AntiMoney Laundering and Other Matters Bill will also ease the burden of proof placed on the authorities in relation to money laundering. The bill will amend the Corruption, Drug Trafficking and Other Serious Crimes Confiscation of Benefits Act so that the prosecution need not show a direct link between the criminal conduct and the monies allegedly laundered in Singapore. It added: This will facilitate the prosecution of money mules in cases where the monies laundered had passed through bank accounts and intermediaries in foreign jurisdictions, before entering Singapore. . Lawrence Wong Shyun Tsai, Singapore s prime minister, said at a June 26 session of the FATF plenary meeting held in Singapore, that experience and lessons gleaned by the Singapore authorities from their handling of a recent SGD3billion money laundering case would be used to strengthen the citystate s regulations and enforcement efforts. In June, the last of 10 foreign nationals involved in that matter people who had been accused of laundering proceeds from Southeast Asian gambling operations by using them for luxury goods and properties in Singapore was sentenced by a Singapore court.

A report shows casinos face moderate laundering risks but have not been directly complicit.

Today,July 11, 2024. 27c clear sky. ByAFP Jul 07,2024 Last updated at Jul 07,2024. Palestinian children pose for a picture in Khan Yunis, on the southern Gaza Strip on Saturday, amid the ongoing Israeli military offensive against the Palestinian territory AFP photo. OCCUPIED JERUSALEM Israel said on Friday that "gaps" remained with Hamas on how to secure a Gaza ceasefire and hostage release but that it will send a delegation for fresh talks with Qatari mediators next week. The statement from prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu's spokesman came after a delegation led by the head of Israel's Mossad intelligence agency, David Barnea, held a first round of talks with mediators in Doha on Friday. "It was agreed that next week Israeli negotiators will travel to Doha to continue the talks. There are still gaps between the parties," the spokesman said in a statement. There has been no truce in the ninemonthold war in Gaza since a oneweek pause in November saw 80 Israeli hostages freed in return for 240 Palestinians held in Israeli prisons. The United States, which has worked alongside Qatar and Egypt in trying to broker a deal, had talked up the significance of Netanyahu's decision to send a delegation to Qatar. The United States believes Israel and Hamas have a "pretty significant opening" to reach an agreement, a senior official said. Israel's military offensive killed at least 38,011 people in Gaza, mostly civilians, according to the health ministry in the territory. US President Joe Biden announced a pathway to a truce deal in May that he said had been proposed by Israel. It included an initial sixweek truce, Israeli withdrawal from Gaza population centres and the freeing of hostages by Palestinian fighters. Talks subsequently stalled but the US official said on Thursday that the new proposal from Hamas moves the process forward and may provide the basis for closing the deal , though significant work remained. Senior Hamas official Osama Hamdan told AFP that new ideas from the group had been conveyed by the mediators to the American side, which welcomed them and passed them on to the Israeli side. Now the ball is in the Israeli court . Hamdan blamed Israel for the deadlock since Biden s announcement and said the Doha talks will be a test for the US administration to see if it is willing to pressure the Zionist entity to accept these proposed ideas . The war has uprooted 90 percent of Gaza s population, destroyed much of the territory s housing and other infrastructure, and left almost 500,000 people enduring catastrophic hunger, UN agencies say. The main stumbling block to a truce deal has been Hamas s demand for a permanent end to the fighting, which Netanyahu and his farright coalition partners strongly reject. The Israeli premier will probably meet with Biden during a scheduled visit to Washington to address Congress on July 24, the White House said. Netanyhu has faced a wellorganised protest movement in Israel demanding a deal to free the hostages, which took to the streets again on Thursday evening. The veteran hawk demands the release of the hostages but also insists the war will not end until Israel has destroyed Hamas s ability to make war or govern. The head of the World Health Organisation WHO warned that further disruption to health services is imminent in Gaza due to a severe lack of fuel . Only 90,000 litres of fuel entered Gaza on Wednesday, but the health sector alone needs 80,000 litres each day. The WHO and its partners in Gaza were having to make impossible choices as a result, said Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus. .

Israel and Hamas continue to negotiate ceasefire and hostage release through Qatari mediation. Israel agreed to further talks after initial meetings in Doha. US involvement in brokering a deal has led to hope for a resolution, despite ongoing violence in Gaza. The truce deal faces challenges due to Hamas's demand for permanent peace, which Israel's far-right government opposes. The conflict has taken a heavy toll on Gaza's population and infrastructure, with calls for urgent action to prevent further humanitarian crisis.

We have more newsletters. The desolate ravine where Jay Slater disappeared is both barren and intimidating, yet 'eerie signs of life' have been observed by reporters at the scene. Jay, a 19 year old apprentice bricklayer, vanished on June 17 while holidaying in the remote Rural de Teno area of Tenerife for a threeday music festival with friends. The teenager left his companions to stay at a secluded Airbnb with two other festivalgoers in the early hours of Monday morning and attempted to walk back to his accommodation later that day. Embarking on a perilous 11hour journey on foot, Jay phoned a friend to inform her that his phone battery was down to one percent, he was parched and had injured his leg on a cactus. His mobile last sent a signal from somewhere in the mountainous region near the village of Masca, which became the focus of the Spanish police's search before it was officially called off last Sunday. Despite this, Jay's family and friends have persisted in their search, aided by a former British detective, while journalists have recounted their experiences of the "unforgiving" landscape. In a harrowing discovery, remnants of past human activity were unearthed. ", reportsthe Manchester Evening News. Amateur mountaineer and TikTok influencer Paul Arnott, who has joined the quest for Jay in Tenerife, introduced a possibly significant discovery on Monday, reports the Mirror. The 29 year old, who is in regular contact with the heartbroken family and backed by Jay's mother Debbie, suggested that a pair of broken sunglasses, similar to those Jay used, could be valuable clue. On his TikTok channel, Mr Arnott said: "Moving forward a lot of new things have come out due to interviews. There are quite a few things I'm gonna chase up today as well. One is a threeword GPS. The other, apart from that, is a pair of sunglasses that were found by a man called Chris, who I'll be meeting up with later today.". Jay's father Warren had earlier voiced concerns about the family conducting their own search in the perilous ravine, mentioning "how dangerous it is". He commented: "These are big mountains, the terrain is dangerous", and added: "It's tough, it's hard.". Even so, following the Civil Guard's decision to halt their active search, the family continues their efforts to find him. On Wednesday, Warren noted: "We've been all the way down. We've walked as far as you can until it's too dangerous.". He further added: "This is where his phone last pinged. This was the valley and I've come to the point of no return. We followed the path all the way down the valley. If I had mountain boots on and some ropes I would go for it, but I can't do it in Adidas sandals. ".

Jay Slater, 19, disappeared in Tenerife after leaving friends to stay at a remote Airbnb. He embarked on an 11-hour walk back to his accommodation, encountering difficulties on the way. Despite the search being called off, his family and friends, aided by a former detective and mountaineer, are continuing the search.

Social media space is getting flooded with posts designed to distract us from what really matters in the life of a society. Project 2025 is the latest example. We should exercise caution before promoting this conservative governing agenda to have the right people, policies, and playbook in place and ready to go during the next conservative administration. Promoting it through our complaints and drama serves only to strengthen the Heritage Foundation initiative. The conservative initiative to implement their agenda is well underway. It started as a reaction to the administration of Franklin Delano Roosevelt and picked up steam after the election of Ronald Reagan as president. They accomplished much under the Trump administration yet it was such a clown show they missed more than they gained. In 2024, conservatives are gaining the skills, resources, and traction needed to accomplish their goals. Project 2025 is an example of something that in the past went unspoken, yet is emboldened by the growth of conservative populism. Look no further than the U.S. Supreme Court which under John Roberts is already dismantling what they consider to be infringement upon personal freedom. There are many examples, the most recent is overturning Chevron vs. Natural Resources Defense Council about whichI posted last week. My Congresswoman Mariannette MillerMeeks succinctly stated what to a lot of us is obvious about the conservative approach regarding checking the power of the federal government. The Supreme Court recently overturned the 1984 ruling in Chevron v. Natural Resources Defense Council, which had allowed federal agencies to interpret laws not explicitly addressed by Congress. The decision is one of the most crucial checks on the power of the executive branch and unelected bureaucrats that the U.S. has seen in decades and marks a significant victory for the country and the little guy . MillerMeeks Constituent Newsletter, July 7, 2024. Decision after decision of the Roberts Court is chipping away at gains in making American society a more fair and equitable place. They came after voting rights, Roe vs. Wade, race conscious university admissions policies, affirmative action,and more. Already there are court cases in the works to overturn Obergefell vs. Hodges in which the court held that the Fourteenth Amendment requires states to license and recognize samesex marriage. The Roberts court seems likely to overturn the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution should they find a fulcrum strong enough. My point is that putting a name on Project 2025 distracts us from the broader conservative initiative that has been in place with vigor since the Reagan Administration. Wellknown Iowa political activist Amber Gustafson posted the following on Threads, How many people can you tell about Project 2025 this week? Your hairstylist. Your dog walker. Your neighbor. A coworker. A college friend. Someone under 30. Your Uber driver. Anyone. Everyone. WE MUST TELL THEM. Sure. Spread the word about Project 2025 if it will motivate people to activate in Democratic political campaigns. My issue is people are simply not tuned in the way political activists are, and threats of a potential conservative dismantling of society belie the fact it has been going on at least since 1981. The knowledge Democrats are fighting for what is right for everyone is a more powerful motivator than scare tactics about anything. They overturned Roe vs. Wade two years ago. If that isn t a motivator, I don t know what is. Going forward I won t be mentioning Project 2025. There are already too many takes about it. Instead I will be working to elect Democrats from president to township trustee. That s where the real work of the 2024 political campaign lies and where we can best protect what freedoms we have left.. . .

Social media is flooded with distractions like Project 2025, a conservative initiative gaining traction for the next administration. The Heritage Foundation's agenda is advancing, backed by the Supreme Court's recent decisions chipping away at societal progress. Democrats need to focus on activating voters rather than spreading fear about conservative plans.

Rajya Sabha: Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar recalls the 1985 Air India Kanishka bombing as "one of the darkest days in the fight against terrorism"https:t.coSDOnghQaR6. The Air India Kanishka bombing on June 23, 1985 is counted among the deadliest acts of terrorism in aviation history. All 329 people on board the flight were killed and the aircraft crashed near the west coast of Ireland. The aircraft had left from Montreal for London en route New Delhi. Most passengers were foreign nationals of Indian origin. The bombing was said to have been executed by Sikh militants in retaliation for Operation Bluestar undertaken by the Indian Army in 1984 to flush out militants from the Golden Temple. In July 2022, Ripudaman Singh Malik, a suspect who was later acquitted of all charges in the 1985 Air India Kanishka bombing case, was shot dead in Canada. He died on the spot. Malik was acquitted by a Canadian court in 2005. Earlier in June, theCanadian police said that investigations into the bombingof the Air India flight remains active and ongoing .

The Air India investigation is the longest and certainly one of the most complex domestic terrorism investigations that the RCMP has undertaken in our history, Mr. Teboul said. Our investigative efforts remain active and ongoing, he said. Noting that this year marks the 39th anniversary memorial of the bombing, he said: At the memorials, previous and current employees from the investigation and our greater organisation, past and present, will ensure we remember those lost and those left to deal with the unthinkable. .

Sign In. Register. WASHINGTON AP The United States is going to pay for flights and offer other help to Panama to remove migrants under an agreement signed Monday, as the Central American country'snew president has vowedto shut down the treacherous Darien Gap used by people traveling north to the United States. The deal is designed to jointly reduce the number of migrants being cruelly smuggled through the Darien, usually en route to the United States," National Security Council spokesperson Adrienne Watson said in a statement Monday. "Specifically, the United States will support Panama s efforts to begin the swift, safe and humane repatriation of migrants who do not have a legal basis to remain in Panama. . Under the terms of the agreement, U.S. They spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity to give details of the agreement that had not yet been made public. The officials didn't specify how much money the U.S. would contribute overall to those flights. The officials said the U.S. would be giving assistance and expertise on how to conduct removals, including helping Panama officials screen migrants who might qualify for protections. But the U.S. is not deciding whom to deport, the officials said. The program would be entirely under Panama's control, aligning with the country's immigration laws, and the decisions would be made by that government, the U.S. officials said. They added that Panama already has a repatriation program but that it's limited. The agreement comes as Panama's Darien Gap has become a superhighway of sorts for migrants from across the Southern Hemisphere and beyond who are trying to make it to the United States. The Darien Gap connects Panama and Colombia to the south. More than half a million peopletraversed the corridor last yearand more than 190,000 people have crossed so far in 2024, with most of the migrants hailing from Venezuela, Ecuador, Colombia and China. Mulino, the country s 65yearold former security minister and new president, has promised to shut down migration through the jungleclad and largely lawless border. The agreement comes as the Biden administration has been struggling to show voters during an election year that it has a handle on immigration and border security. Former President Donald Trump, who's made immigration a key election year issue, has starkly criticized Biden, saying he's responsible for the problems at the border. In early JunePresident Joe Biden announced a new measureto cut off access to asylum when the number of people arriving at the southern border reaches a certain number. The administration has also moved to allowcertain U.S. citizens spouseswithout legal status to apply for permanent residency and eventually citizenship without having to first depart the country. The action by Biden, a Democrat, could affect upwards of half a million immigrants. Rebecca Santana, The Associated Press. 2024 Prince George Citizen

Vice President Kamala Harris has been one of President Joe Biden's staunchest defenders following his shaky performance in last week's debate, but she's also emerged as a potential option to lead the party herself if Biden opted not to continue his campaign. One big question is what would happen to the current campaign's 91 million cash on hand, according to itsmost recent filings. Combined with allied Democratic organizations, the reelection effort has access to 240 million cash on hand, the campaign said this week. Advertisement. Yes, although there are some caveats. Since their campaign account was registered with the Federal Election Commission in the name of both candidates, Harris could use those funds for her own presidential effort if Biden were to drop out, according to Kenneth Gross, senior political law counsel at Akin Gump and former associate general counsel for the Federal Election Commission. Advertisement. Only if the campaign said yes. Legal scholars agree that if donors were to ask for their money back after a candidate switch, the campaign would need to agree to that transfer. That means donors don't have an automatic right to get refunded. Once a donor makes a contribution, he or she relinquishes the rights to those funds, Gross said. Advertisement. Displeased donors thinking about suing likely wouldn t succeed, according to Bradley A. Smith, professor at Capital University Law School in Ohio. When you give money to a campaign committee, it is pretty much theirs to do with what they please, within the boundaries of the law," he said. According to Gross, their campaign would have to give all the money back sort of. Advertisement. Any donations designated for the primary which Biden won would stay with the campaign, Gross said, something that technically could apply to any money taken in by BidenHarris up until the Democratic National Convention in August. All contributions made prior to the August convention are deemed to be for the primary unless the donor designates in writing that the contribution is for general election, Gross said. According to Smith, if Biden left the race and Harris didn t replace him as nominee, their former campaign could only transfer 2,000 of the money that had been collected to a new candidate. Advertisement. Maybe, but it might not be worthwhile. According to Gross, if both Biden and Harris either drop out of the contest or don't become their party's nominee, they could opt to designate the campaign funds for a super PAC or the party itself. But if those transfers did happen, Smith said, the vast bulk of it would have to be in independent expenditures, which tend to be less effective. Plus, he added, guaranteed broadcast advertising rates are higher for parties than for candidates, so that has a cost, too. . If Harris is left in the race, she could also do that with the funds, too or keep them for her own effort. Advertisement. And if the account, in general, were converted to a political action committee, that new entity would have limits on what it could send to the new candidate, said Saurav Ghosh, director of federal campaign finance reform for the Campaign Legal Center. Even if Biden s campaign committee immediately converted to a political action committee, which is allowed, that PAC could only transfer up to 3,300 per election to the new presidential candidate s campaign," Ghosh said. There s no legal way for Biden to transfer to a new candidate the 90 million that his campaign currently has on hand. . The presidential race options aside, Smith suggested that the BidenHarris funds could be transferred to Democratic committees backing House and Senate candidates, or punted even further down the electoral timeline, to support Democrats in future years. . Advertisement. Other options, he suggested, could include a group created to promote causes and issues in line with the candidates' views or they could give it to charity, including, for example, a really boffo Joe Biden Center at University of Delaware. . .

Vice President Kamala Harris emerges as a potential candidate to lead the Democratic Party if President Biden decides not to continue his campaign. The current campaign has access to 240 million cash on hand, posing questions about its use if Biden drops out. Legal scholars believe donors wouldn't automatically get refunds if Harris takes over. The campaign funds could be used for a super PAC or the Democratic Party if neither Biden nor Harris continue as nominees. Alternatively, funds could also be transferred to Democratic committees or used for charitable causes.

Loan sharks earn tens of millions of dollars a year by providing underground money exchange services and cash smuggling networks for Chinese gamblers in Macau, China's Public Security Ministry said Friday. Macau, known as the Las Vegas of the East, is the only city in China where gambling is legal, but the mainland Chinese visitors who fuel the city's multibilliondollar economic pillar are bound by the country's strict foreign exchange controls. Under those restrictions, a Chinese citizen is allowed to change no more than 50,000 worth of yuan into foreign currency in a given year, and to carry no more than 5,000 in cash in or out of the country on any one trip. But Chen Shiqu, the deputy crime bureau chief of Beijing's Public Security Ministry, said Friday there had been a surge in recent years of illegal "money changing parties", state media reported. "Each year, the money masters behind the scenes make profits of more than 1.5 billion Hong Kong dollars 192 million, and the profiteering drive has led to the rapid expansion of the groups," he added. In one case, a syndicate of more than 30 people recruited more than 100 cash smugglers on the Chinese video platform Douyin by posing as a hiring agency. AFP. Today's Standard.

Maxine hitches a ride on Elizabeth s golf cart and she drives her to the set wherePsychowas filmed we even see a sign that reads Bates Motel . The iconic 1960 movie, directed by Alfred Hitchcock, stars Janet Leigh as Marion Crane, a secretary who gets caught in a heavy rainstorm and decides to stay the night at the shady Bates Motel. There, she meets the hotel s very creepy proprietor Norman Bates. ThePsychoset also returns later on in the film, when Maxine hides inside its fake interior after being chased by a seedy private investigator Kevin Bacon.

Indeed, Curtis followed in her mom Janet Leigh s footsteps when she made her feature film debut in the 1978 filmHalloween, which has spawned over 10 sequels to date. The movie takes place on you guessed it Halloween night in a quaint, suburban town in Illinois when the coldblooded killer Michael Myers seeks out his next victims.

Shields plays Karen Spages, a young girl who gets brutally murdered on the day of her first Communion.

The division between host farmers of renewable energy projects and their neighbours is an issue that needs to be amended, according to producers at a national renewables conference held in Queensland for the first time. Loginor signup to continue reading. A sold out crowd gathered in Toowoomba on Thursday for the fifth National Renewables in Agriculture Conference and Expo, focused on highlighting opportunities and barriers primary producers need to know about in the adoption of renewables. WhenQueensland Country Lifeasked attendees what their biggest concern was about a future focused on renewable energy, many spoke of a need for cohesion and full disclosure. Robert Leather, Barfield Station, Banana, said renewables had to be in conjunction with agriculture. "Communities need to live together and we need to know what will be the overall benefit to the community," he said. Victorian producer Angus Shaw from the Wimmera region said social license was important. "Neighbours and community are divided and there needs to be more education to bring everyone together," he said. North Burnett cattle producer Stuart Leahy said developers needed to engage with the wider community. "If there was to be a big project involving your property make sure you double check Installation and decommissioned clause," he said. "We need more positives than negatives from a farmer's perspective.". But Brendan Taylor, Broadlea, Warra struggled with the concept that renewable power would be a 247 power option. "We certainly need to gave other options such as the current nuclear debate," he said. Decommissioning was another concern. "The whole life cycle has not been looked into very well," Nikki Thompson, Echo Hills, Wallumbilla said. "If you are not consciously looking at it you could have unintended consequences. "The community needs to embrace and learn to play together.". Sarah Fea, Bear Biologics, Toowoomba said a clear understanding of the impacts on the landscape function was needed in the future. "You need to know the complete cycle and know how it is assembled and dismantled," she said. "When it is being built, will it affect the water flow of the catchment and your neighbour's farm?".

Partly cloudy. A stray shower or thunderstorm is possible. High 84F. Winds WNW at 5 to 10 mph.. Some clouds. A stray shower or thunderstorm is possible. Low around 65F. Winds light and variable. Updated: July 11, 2024 12:35 pm. . . . SPRINGFIELD, Ill. WAND Illinoisans could soon have the ability to ask for adigital driver's license or state ID. A proposal onGov. JB Pritzker's desk would allow the Secretary of State's office to launch the process of finding vendors for digital ID production. People spend a significant amount of time on their cell phones thanks to countless apps for everyday life. But have you ever thought of using an app to show your driver's license?. Digital IDs in Illinoiswould include a barcode so people would not have to have to give their phone to officers during traffic stops. "This is not taking away the ability to have a physical driver's license," said Rep. Kam Buckner DChicago. "I personally choose to have certain credit cards physically and other ones I have on my mobile device. So this would just give us the ability to do that.". Rep. Kam Buckner discussed his digital ID legislation on May 20, 2024. Democrats said digital IDs can make it easier to provide proof that you're qualified to drive and identify yourself at stores, banks or medical offices. However, some Republicans worry there won't be enough safeguards in place for private information. "Law enforcement has devices obviously that could clone my phone once they got their hand on it," said Rep. Dan Caulkins RDecatur. "I know your bill says this, but is there a penalty for that? What is my protection from someone, a rogue police officer, wanting to download my photos, accessing my phone?". Buckner said police would not be able to look through your phone unless they had a search warrant. The bill language states that showing a mobile ID does not serve as consent for law enforcement or any other person to search, view or access any other data or application on the phone. "There may be issues around requiring internet connection to access the mobile ID, which disadvantages people who don't have WiFi," said Rep. Kelly Cassidy DChicago. "It could perhaps permit commercial entities to discriminate or charge higher fees. We see this in places that are refusing to take cash. So, there's some concerns there.". Sponsors said they will address those concerns when the Secretary of State's office issues rules to implement the plan. 18 other states are currently working toward implementing digital ID systems. 12 states already offer digital forms of identification. Local representatives Brad Halbrook, Chris Miller, Adam Niemerg and Blaine Wilhour did not vote on the proposal when it passed out of the House on May 20. The legislation gained unanimous support in the Senate. "By allowing residents to carry a digital version of their driver's license or ID card on their phone, we are streamlining daily activities that require identification, such as traffic stops and age verification," said Sen. Michael Hastings DFrankfort. 2024 marked the first time an Illinois Secretary of State supported legislation for digital identification. Alexi Giannoulias worked with Buckner and Hastings to get the proposal across the finish line and to the governor's desk. "Smartphones have become convenient places to store everything from movie tickets, boarding passes and credit cards," Giannoulias said. "With technological advancements and additional safeguards to make it the most secure and stateoftheart system in the nation, we're confident Illinoisans will soon have the option to carry a digital version of their driver's license or state ID.".

Illinois residents might soon be able to use a digital driver's license or state ID on their smartphones. This proposal aims to streamline tasks requiring identification, like traffic stops. Supporters say it would offer convenience and efficiency, but some concerns remain over privacy and access issues. The legislation is part of a wider trend across states to introduce digital ID systems.

The President of Breast Care International, Dr Beatrice WiafeAddai, is alarmed by the government's slow pace in including breast cancer patients and those with noncommunicable diseases in the Livelihood Empowerment Against Poverty LEAP programme, which aims to support vulnerable individuals. She urges prompt action to address this critical issue and ensure patients receive necessary assistance. Dr WiafeAddai says, breast cancer patients continue to be excluded from the LEAP programme, despite persistent advocacy efforts, leaving them to face significant financial burdens and struggle to access essential needs like medication, transportation, and basic necessities. She urges the government to enroll breast cancer patients in the LEAP programme, which would provide crucial support and relief from financial struggles. Dr WiafeAddai expresses frustration that her previous discussions with the then Deputy Gender Minister, Franscica Oteng Mensah, have not yet led to action, but remains committed to advocating for this important cause. "I am worried because despite my discussions with the then Deputy Gender Minister, Francisca Oteng Mensah, to include breast cancer patients in the LEAP programme, no action has been taken yet. We will continue to advocate for this important inclusion," she stated. Dr WiafeAddai suggests a practical solution: enroll breast cancer patients currently undergoing treatment in the LEAP programme, and automatically discharge them once treatment is complete, making room for new patients in need to be enrolled, ensuring continuous support for those who require it most. Experts say breast cancer is a major global health concern, with a staggering 2 million new cases diagnosed annually. Alarmingly, it is predicted that breast cancer will become the top cause of death in women worldwide in the next ten years, emphasizing the critical need for swift action and effective strategies to combat this growing health threat. At an event in Kumasi, Dr WiafeAddai highlights the plight of breast cancer survivors in Ghana, noting that many vulnerable patients face significant financial difficulties, struggling to cover medical bills, transportation costs, and nutritious food, which adversely affects their health outcomes and chances of survival. Leader of the Breast Cancer Survivors Association at Peace and Love Hospital, Vivian Gyasi Sarfo, shares similar concerns, revealing that the exorbitant costs of treatment and related expenses are forcing many members to abandon their care, highlighting the urgent need for financial support and access to affordable healthcare for breast cancer patients. Vivian appeals for enhanced support for breast cancer patients, emphasising the need for financial assistance to enable them to complete their treatment without interruptions, thereby increasing survival chances and saving more lives.

Journalist Carole Malone went on a huge rant about the Labour Leader after a viewer called the show to explain why they'd vote for Starmer over Conservative Leader and current Prime Minister Rishi Sunak. Malone interrupted the caller, named Tina, from Buckinghamshire, to say: "Let's not pretend Starmer grew up in a workingclass environment where there was no money because there was.". Her costar Jacquie Smith slyly quipped: "You may not have noticed Carole, but his dad was a toolmaker," in reference to the many times the Labour Leader has told reporters of his late father's profession. However, Malone fumed: "His father owned the toolmaking factory I keep hearing this, that his dad was a toolmaker..". . Host Alexis Conran had to cut in by telling Malone: "Hang on, he didn't own a toolmaking factory, he had a business but that's not a factory.". Still irate, Malone added: "Well, he owned the toolmaking business it is a bit different to being on the production line.". Continuing to lambast Starmer, Malone claimed he was on 365,000 a year when he was the Director of Public Prosecutions. .

Husband pleads guilty six days after reporting her missing. July 7, 2024 at 4:18 a.m. by RIO YAMAT and FELICIA FONSECA The Associated Press. . FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. Less than a week after an Arizona man reported his wife missing, launching an expansive search that quickly turned into a criminal investigation, he admitted to killing her and pleaded guilty to murder, authorities announced Friday. As part of a deal with prosecutors in Coconino County, Daniel Paduchowski pleaded guilty Friday to seconddegree murder in the death of his 45yearold wife, Kelly. He also pleaded guilty to tampering with physical evidence, concealment of a dead body and possession of dangerous drugs, according to a copy of the plea agreement. The agreement, reached earlier Friday before the Flagstaff Police Department held an afternoon news conference, marks a stunning and swift resolution to a homicide case that was opened just days earlier and that could have otherwise stretched for years as it made its way through the legal system. At the news conference, Flagstaff Police Chief Sean Connolly emphasized that it had been just six days since authorities were alerted to Kelly Paduchowski's disappearance. "I was at the barber. I've been at the dry cleaners. I've been to restaurants and businesses, and this has been on everybody's mind," he said. "When communities are not indifferent, and they are engaged at this level, these are the outcomes that you have.". Michael Tunink, a senior attorney at the Coconino County attorney's office, said Daniel Paduchowski, 58, is expected to be sentenced to 16 years without the possibility of parole for the murder charge. His sentencing is scheduled for Sept. 10. Authorities said Paduchowski called Flagstaff police Sunday night, saying his wife never returned after leaving to go for a run and a swim at Lake Mary, southeast of Flagstaff. Police said they quickly began to suspect Daniel Paduchowski had been involved in his wife's disappearance, after the woman's relatives found her car on the other side of town. By Monday morning, police said, the missing persons case had turned into a homicide investigation. The Flagstaff Police Department announced Daniel Paduchowski's arrest the next day. As part of his deal with prosecutors, Daniel Paduchowski provided authorities with information about his wife's remains and other evidence, including her cellphone, car keys and a weapon used to kill her, Tunink said. Flagstaff police said they found Kelly Paduchowski's remains Friday morning but did not release the location, citing active "recovery efforts.". Authorities said the search for Kelly Paduchowski was expansive, including local and federal agencies; nearly 50 search and rescue members who searched by foot, helicopter and on mountain bikes; and search dogs and drones. About 60 people from the community also volunteered for the search effort, police said. Connolly, the Flagstaff police chief, said Friday that authorities have been in constant contact with the victim's relatives, including her children. "Since the moment I sat in the living room with Kelly's family, I cannot tell you how impressed I have been with their strength and their resolve in handling this incredibly tragic situation," he said. .

As state assembly elections near, the state government has assured legislators from Pune of action against developers who fail to provide drinking water to property owners of their buildings. The state government will give clear cut instructions to the municipal corporations to get in writing from developers the alternative source of water for property owners till the civic body is able to supply water to residents, said Deputy chief minister Devendra Fadanavis in response to the query raised by legislators from the city on water issues. BJPlegislators Bhimrao Tapkir and Mahesh Landge said, The PMC and PCMC gives permission for building construction to developers after getting assurance in affidavit that they will manage the water needs of the property owners till the civic body is able to provide water for it. However, the developers in the sale deed of property sold to its customers mention that they will have to bear the expense for the water supply.

Skip to content. The Asahi Shimbun. Opinion. Editorial. . July 10, 2024 at 14:39 JST. Demonstrators rally over alleged sex crimes involving U.S. service members outside the U.S. Kadena Air Base in Okinawa Prefecture on June 28. Jin Hirakawa. Given the frequency of sex crimes committed by U.S. military personnel in Okinawa Prefecture, the central government has pledged to promptly share information if more cases arise in the future. Tokyo came under sharp criticism over its policy of keeping Okinawa out of the loop, typically on the pretext of protecting the privacy of victims. But now that this new system is in place, Tokyo must ensure it operates with precision and with the proviso, of course, that crimefighting must always come first. We also hope Washington will spell out its viable crimeprevention measures. U.S. soldiers and U.S. militaryrelated personnel in Okinawa have been involved in five sex crime cases since last year, including nonconsensual sex. It also emerged recently that none of these cases was disclosed to the public or reported to the Okinawa prefectural government. The new informationsharing system applies only to yettobe disclosed sexual offenses by U.S military personnel stationed in Japan. With the exception of those that have been dropped by prosecutors for lack of sufficient evidence, investigative authorities will refer all cases to the Foreign Ministry, which will relay the information to the Defense Ministry, which in turn will notify the local administrative authorities concerned. From the standpoint of privacy protection, however, the content of the information is to be within possible limits. The system also prohibits the disclosure of information handled in an inappropriate manner. . Will that guarantee the effectiveness of this setup and help local governments get the attention of residents?. We ask these questions because we seriously doubt the central government is committed to reducing Okinawa s burden and building a solid relationship of mutual trust with the southern island prefecture. For instance, the controversial relocation of the U.S. Marine Corps Air Station Futenma within Okinawa Prefecture is proceeding because Tokyo ignored Okinawa s rights by literally bulldozing ahead with the reclamation work by proxy. And as for a new Ground SelfDefense Force training ground planned in the city of Uruma without prior consultation with local residents, the government was eventually forced into scrapping the project due to bitter local protests. Around 70 percent of all U.S. military facilities in Japan are concentrated in Okinawa Prefecture, and now the latter is being saddled with a new burden under the SDF s southwestern shift strategy that is directed against China. Tokyo will never win the trust of Okinawans unless it proves its goodwill beyond doubt by squarely facing the people s fears and doubts. And that applies to Washington, too. Vice Foreign Minister Masataka Okano met U.S. Ambassador to Japan Rahm Emanuel on July 5 to renew his call to strengthen discipline at U.S. military facilities. Emanuel expressed deep regret for the crimes that brought fear to the local community. Back in 1995, thenU.S. Ambassador Walter Mondale apologized in person to Governor Masahide Ota for the rape of a 12yearold Okinawan girl by three U.S. servicemenan incident that so enraged the people of Okinawa that it led to the TokyoWashington agreement on the return to Japan of the land currently occupied by the Futenma facility. Emanuel told Okano that, as a former mayor of Chicago, he was fully cognizant of the importance of communication with local citizens. If so, the ambassador should hasten to indicate to Okinawans a set of viable measures, including his priority plans to review education and training programs for U.S. military personnel.

Report. Kabir Kala Manch activist Sagar Gorkhe has written to the police and the state human rights panel seeking action. Bhima Koregaon violence case accused and Kabir Kala Manch activist Sagar Gorkhe has written to the Navi Mumbai police commissioner alleging that officials at the Taloja prison have directed other prisoners to silence them for trying to raise the issue of alleged corruption within the jail. The letter was sent to Navi Mumbai Police Commissioner Milind Bharambe on June 24. A copy of the same has also been sent to the state human rights commission. Senior jailor Sunil Patil is taking money from influential VIP criminals and giving them the rations meant for ordinary prisoners the quality of food served to ordinary prisoners has deteriorated. My coaccused and I in the KoregaonBhima case have raised our concerns about this corruption, which is why the prison authorities are trying to silence us .after we protested against the corruption inside the jail, Mahesh Raut and I another accused in the KoregaonBhima case were summoned by jailor Patil on June 18 to the jail superintendent s office. He warned us not to interfere with the corruption related to the canteen. However, when we raised our concerns about the corruption with him, he threatened us with dire consequences, wrote Gorkhe. To get us out of his way, the jailor started instigating hardcore and influential criminals against us. He told them that their VIP facilities would be stopped because of the Elgar Parishad prisoners, and that if they wanted to keep those facilities, they needed to silence us. Because of this my fellow coaccused and I fear being attacked by these influential criminals and gangsters inside the jail at any time. . Newslaundryreached out to Sunil Patil, Navi Mumbai police commissioner Milind Bharambe as well as Maharashtra prisons additional DGP Amitabh Gupta for comment. We also sent questions to the state human rights commission. Bharambe said that he was not aware of the complaint. Who has he written to? There is a separate ADG prisons for this who sits in Pune. . Additional DGP prisons Amitabh Gupta, said, I am not aware of this issue at all. I am in the assembly. . This report will be updated if a response is received from the others. Should be dealt with urgently . Among the accused lodged in Taloja prison in the case are Gorkhe, human rights lawyer Surendra Gadling, activist Sudhir Dhawale, Kabir Kala Manch member Ramesh Gaichor, tribal rights activist Mahesh Raut, Delhi university professor Hany Babu and activist Rona Wilson. Mumbaibased activist Harshal Potdar said that this is not the first time Gorkhe has complained about jail authorities. During Covid, prisoners had a hard time because they lacked basic facilities. Father Stan Swamy was not given basic medical care despite his poor health. His death was an institutional murder. Now, jail authorities are instigating hardened criminals to target KoregaonBhima case prisoners. This is very worrisome because it involves physical threats. If anything happens, jail authorities should be held responsible. As a social activist, I believe this should be dealt with urgently as it is dangerous. . An NIA court had in 2022 rejected a plea filed by Gorkhe and one more accused to use mosquito nets in prison. They had approached the court after their mosquito nets were taken away by prison officials; Gorkhe had gone on a hunger strike after the prison officials seized the mosquito nets. The jail authorities later told the court that the mosquito nets had been taken away as the prisoners could use them to strangulate themselves. The court rejected the plea for mosquito nets but allowed them to use mosquito repellents, ointments and incense sticks. Small teams can do great things.

Nine in 10 people suffer from tangry behaviour being angry due to tiredness. A poll, of 2,000 adults, revealed the signs of being tired include having a slow reaction speed, getting words muddled and putting an item of clothing on inside out. Getting easily annoyed at others, forgetting why you walked into a room and getting the day of the week or date mixed up also featured in the Top 30 list. It emerged that when people are fatigued, they also feel angry a fifth of the time 22. . Don't miss..Top 20 sleepiest UK cities Oxford and Cardiff top the listLATEST'Jet lag' effect of partying all weekend how to catch up on sleepLATEST. The research was commissioned by Bensons for Beds, which has worked with sleep expert Dr Sophie Bostock, to develop a Sleep Calm and Carry On programme and help improve the nation s sleep wellness. Dr Sophie Bostock said: Our sleep, wellbeing and behaviour are intimately linked. A lack of sleep can alter the emotional control centres of the brain, making us more sensitive to stress, and reducing selfcontrol. Some people become more impulsive and aggressive. This survey is also a valuable reminder that many of us can feel like a different person when we are sleep deprived and can lash out in ways we later regret.". The research also found three quarters of people have apologised for their tangry behaviour with the city with the tangriest folk living in, or nearby, Brighton Hove followed by Belfast and Cardiff. Signs of being both tired and angry include overreacting about small issues, complaining more often than usual, and being impatient. Further symptoms of someone having a tangry episode are crying at the slightest thing 30 and swearing under their breath about everything 30. More than half 51 feel grumpy and irritable due to exhaustion and 42 admitted they have no patience. And tiredness has been to blame for rowing with a partner 30, cancelling social plans 26 and snapping at colleagues 14. A further 18 feel their whole personality changes when fatigued. As well as their mood 57, tiredness can have an impact on concentration 50, appetite 27 and relationships 27. . . . Tired is the top way people feel when they wake up each morning 43, followed by only 18 feeling refreshed and 15 happy. And more than a fifth 22 of those polled via OnePoll have even been told they look exhausted. The typical adult only manages six and a half hours sleep each night, waking up twice, with the temperature 51 and pain or discomfort 50 being the cause for disruptions. Containing six short videos, the Bensons sleep plan will help to educate people on the importance of sleep and how it impacts their mental and physical health, as well as providing tools to help Brits unwind and sleep better. Those taking part will be able to track their sleep patterns via a sleep diary to see if a lack of sleep is making them tired or angry.

New Delhi, July 6 :More large foreign manufacturers of heavy machinery used in the infrastructure sector figure in the list of more than 15,000 companies that have registered to set up units in the country during June, according to data compiled by the ministry of corporate affairs. Senior officials see this as the outcome of the increasing demand for such machinery as the government is making massive investments in highways, ports, airports and railway projects. It also reflects the success of the Government s MakeinIndia and Aatmanirbhar policy that encourages foreign companies to start operations in the country, an official said. UK s Auger Torque Europe Ltd, one of the foreign companies which has registered for starting operations in India, manufactures earth drills and attachments and is part of Germany s Kinshofer Group which makes attachments for truck cranes and excavators. Japan s Tomoe Engineering Co Ltd, which is on the new list, manufactures machinery, equipment and chemicals. Another Japanese company, Kawada Industries, Inc. is part of the KTI Kawada Group, which is the business of building, maintaining and preserving infrastructure. Besides, a Russian heavy machinery manufacturer and a UAEbased energy company have also registered to set up operations in India. Institut fuer Oekologie, Technik and Innovation Gmbh, also in the new list of foreign companies keen to set up base in India, provides testing and certification services for different industries. These foreign companies are expected to bring in new technology and will complement the efforts of Indian companies that are operating in the infrastructure sector, a senior official pointed out. Bigticket infrastructure projects in the highways, railways and ports sector will continue to drive growth in the Indian economy as the Government has stepped up the outlay for these investments in the interim budget for 202425. Government investments in large infrastructure projects create jobs and incomes that have a multiplier effect on the economy as demand for products such as steel and cement also goes up which leads to more private investments and employment. With the creation of additional jobs, the demand for consumer goods also increases leading to a further acceleration in the country s economic growth rate. To ramp up the virtuous cycle of investment and job creation, the budget for 202324 had ramped up the capital expenditure outlay on infrastructure projects by 37.4 per cent to a whopping Rs 10 lakh crore from Rs 7.28 lakh crore in 202223. The interim budget presented by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has further enhanced by 11.1 per cent the allocation for infrastructure projects to a whopping Rs 11.11 lakh crore to spur growth. The increase that comes on top of a large base of the previous year will result in massive investments to spur growth. The finance minister pointed out that this will also attract big investments from the private sector which will accelerate the growth momentum. The interim budget provides for a Rs 2.52 lakh crore capital expenditure for Railways in 202425. The finance minister has announced the implementation of three major economic railway corridor programmes namely energy, mineral and cement corridors; port connectivity corridors; and high traffic density corridors.

Foreign heavy machinery manufacturers are setting up operations in India due to increasing demand from government investments in infrastructure projects. These companies bring new technology and complement Indian firms. The government's focus on infrastructure projects drives economic growth by creating jobs and boosting private investments. Massive investments in highways, railways, and ports are expected to accelerate growth, with a significant increase in capital expenditure allocated for these projects in the interim budget for 2024-25.

MANILA, Philippines Manila may take the cue from Vietnam in terms of foreign direct investments, Speaker Martin Romualdez said, apparently taking a slightly different path on Charter change. After being silent on the issue for a few months, Romualdez yesterday said he is in favor of allowing foreign investors to lease Philippine lands on a longterm basis. I ll join Senate President Francis Escudero on his initiative here on the Foreign Investors Longterm Lease Law, the leader of the 310member House of Representatives told Teleradyo. The Speaker s stand is a deviation from the Houseapproved Resolution of Both Houses 7 RBH 7, where prohibitive economic provisions in the 1987 Constitution are eased in order to entice more foreign direct investments. This longterm lease is one step where we can hopefully attract foreign investors, where they no longer need to buy lands because we will be giving them a longterm lease contract on the lands they want to utilize, Romualdez, fully aware of the delicate issue of foreign land ownership, explained. So, we will not sell the lands to foreigners. The foreign investors can have the longterm lease contract that may take as long as 50 years, plus another 40 years, and which may reach 99 years, the administration stalwart said. A lawyer by profession, Romualdez is president of the Philippine Constitution Association and heads the country s most dominant political party LakasCMD. During the Speaker s June 13 first official meeting with Escudero following the change in Senate leadership after the ouster of Sen. Migz Zubiri, the two heads of both houses of Congress were silent on the issue of Charter change RBH7 in the House and RBH6 in the Senate. Among the issues they discussed in their closeddoor meeting were pieces of legislation aimed at lowering the prices of rice. In a statement, Romualdez congressman of the first district of Leyte province noted that a key focus of the meeting was the amendments to the Rice Tariffication Law, identified as a top priority. . Amending the Rice Tariffication Law is a crucial step towards ensuring food security and economic stability for our farmers. We are committed to making quality rice affordable for all Filipinos while boosting the livelihoods of our local farmers, the Speaker said. The House leader, a first cousin of President Marcos, expressed confidence that with their meeting, all of the priority measures the administration wanted and have already been passed by the House will eventually be passed and signed into law. This meeting symbolizes a renewed and reinvigorated partnership between the House and the Senate under the leadership of SP Escudero, the Speaker said. Together, we are committed to working handinhand to pass key legislation that will significantly benefit the Filipino people. . According to Romualdez, their collaboration is crucial for the early approval of these priority measures, ensuring swift and effective implementation. . Our joint efforts with the Senate reflect our collective resolve to push forward the President s priority measures, the Speaker said as they initially discussed the legislative calendar for the 3rd Regular Session of the 19th Congress 20222025.

Collaboration with Senate aims to pass priority measures for the benefit of Filipinos.

EN. EN. But Seoul's military said Pyongyang's claims of a successful test were likely a "lie", pointing to the fact that one of the missiles appeared to have failed in the early stages of flight. North Korea successfully tested a new tactical ballistic missile capable of carrying a superlarge warhead, state media said Tuesday, with analysts suggesting the weapon could be nuclearcapable. Pyongyang's state media claimed it had successfully launched the Hwasongpho11Da4.5 missile, which it said was capable of carrying a 4.5 tonclass superlarge warhead. Follow our coverage of the war on theKyivpostofficial. "The testfire was conducted with a missile tipped with a simulated heavy warhead to verify flight stability and hit accuracy at the maximum range of 500 kilometres 310 miles and the minimum range of 90 kilometres," the North's Korean Central News Agency KCNA said. It added that it would test fire the missile again this month "to verify flight characteristics, hit accuracy and explosion power of superlarge warhead at the medium range of 250 kilometres". But Seoul's military said Pyongyang's claims of a successful test were likely a "lie", pointing to the fact that one of the missiles appeared to have failed in the early stages of flight. That missile's trajectory suggested a possible midair explosion over North Korea, the military has said, which could have led to debris falling on the country. "It is extremely rare for test launches to be conducted inland, and the claim that they succeeded in such a launch is likely to be false," Joint Chiefs of Staff spokesperson Lee Sungjun told reporters Tuesday. A superlarge warhead, along with a spy military satellite and solidfuel intercontinental ballistic missiles, was among the advanced weapons that North Korean leader Kim Jong Un vowed to develop at a party congress in 2021. In the KCNA report, the weapon was "described as a 'superlarge warhead', deliberately omitting the word 'nuclear'", Hong Min, a senior analyst at the Korea Institute for National Unification in Seoul. "But since it is capable of carrying a nuclear warhead, it can be considered a nuclear weapon," he told AFP. 'Fatal consequences' . The Monday test launches took place after Kim's regime denounced the latest joint military exercises by Seoul, Tokyo and Washington as an "Asian version of NATO" and warned of "fatal consequences". Relations between the two Koreas are at one of their lowest points in years, with the North ramping up weapons testing while bombarding the South with balloons full of trash. Pyongyang says those missiles are in retaliation for balloons loaded with antiregime propaganda leaflets sent northwards by activists in the South. In response to the North's repeated launches, South Korea has fully suspended a tensionreducing military treaty. It also briefly resumed propaganda loudspeaker broadcasts. On Tuesday, South Korea's military said it had resumed livefire exercises at artillery ranges near the border with the North.

ByKate Qui ones. CNA Staff, Jul 10, 2024 06:00 am. A Catholic school has taken legal action after a Wisconsin school district refused to sell it an elementary school building that has sat empty for two years. The former Garfield Elementary School building in the Marinette School District in northeastern Wisconsin has not been in use since it closed in 2022. The district listed it for sale at about 300,000 but later rejected a fullprice offer from St. Thomas Aquinas Academy STAA, saying that it could create competition for the public school district and citing declining enrollment. If the building was owned by another entity that provides these similar services, more dollars could go to that entity, which then has an adverse impact on our taxpayers, Marinette School District Superintendent Corry Lambiesaidin February. Cheryl Sporie, the STAA chair of the board of trustees who made the offer, filed on June 25 a claim against the district with the nonprofit conservative law firm Wisconsin Institute for Law Liberty WILL, urging the district to sell the property. WILL Associate Counsel Lauren Greuel called the school s decision a slap in the face to the community, citing cases of crime at the empty school building. The school district ought to prioritize the safety and concerns of the public before their own, Greuel stated in a June 25press release. By not selling this vacant building, residents, taxpayers, and property owners are on the hook for lower land values and rising crime rates. . The elementary school building is in the ideal location for STAA, several blocks away from its current middle and high school building in Marinette. The school s current elementary building is in a different city, Peshtigo, which is about a 15minute drive. STAA has a long history in the area, according to itswebsite. The academy was officially founded almost 20 years ago when it merged together local Catholic schools that had been in the area in some form for more than 100 years. We are not trying to take business away from them, we are simply trying to provide a better service for the students in this community already enrolled in our school, she explained. While the district has discretion in determining to whom it would like to sell the Garfield property, it cannot continue to use taxpayer dollars to maintain the building it is not using, WILL Counsel Cory Brewer and Greuel noted in their June 25claim noticeto the school district. Given that the Garfield property has not been used as a school for the last two school years and has declined to sell it, the district has no authority to continue to hold the building or to spend taxpayer money to maintain it, they wrote. Brewer and Greuel also noted that the empty building has had 25 separate incidents where the police were called in the past two years, including cases of trespass and vandalism. By refusing to sell the property and continuing to leave it vacant, the district is creating a public nuisance and exposing taxpayers to additional harm and expense due to the potential for serious property damage caused by one or more of these past incidents and future similar incidents, the counsels said.

Published. on. By. A group, the Movement for Sustainable Development of the Niger Delta, MSDND, has written a protest letter to President Bola Tinubu over claims by the Group Managing Director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation Limited, NNPCL, Mele Kyari, on oil the Niger Delta region. According to the group, Kyari s claims are not consistent with what is on ground in the Niger Delta region and is a false battle cry meant to deceive and distract President Bola Tinubu and Nigerians. Kyari had in a press statement claimed that the NNPCL uncovered 38 illegal pipeline connections and 108 illegal refineries in the Niger Delta between June 22 and June 28. But the group, in a statement on Thursday, accused the Kyari of lying. MSDND Publicity Secretary, Kelvin Orughoe, said, They used the same fraudulent scheme to deceive former President Muhammadu Buhari into agreeing to the nonremittance of billions of dollars from crude oil sales into Federal Government coffers for over seven 7 months. We are writing to President Bola Tinubu not to be deceived by the false battle cry by the NNPCL using nonexistence numbers of illegal refineries and the socalled massive oil theft activities in the creeks of the Niger Delta. These NNPCL acclaimed sites of 38 illegal pipeline connections and 108 illegal refineries do not exist in the creeks of the Niger Delta region. President Tinubu should take a second look at the numbers presented by the NNPCL and Mr. Mele Kyari, because these are falsified numbers that don t exist. If these numbers of illegal bunkering and illegal refining sites exist, how then do the people in the Niger Delta region breath? Instead of presenting false figures, Mele Kyari and his cohorts in the NNPCL should tell Nigerians the truth about where the real leakages of Nigeria s crude oil exist. .

During Nigeria s Oil and Gas Week in Abuja, NUPRC CEO Gbenga Komolefe confirmed the completion of the NAOCOando divestment deal, with the signing ceremony scheduled imminently.

21 C9 C. 5 dayforecast. Sir Keir Starmer will present Joe Biden with a personalised Arsenal shirt when the pair meet at the White House. The shirt, with Mr Biden s surname and the number 46 a reference to his presidential number will be handed over by UK officials to White House aides. The Labour leader is an Arsenal season ticket holder and he hopes the personalised present will help strengthen what he called the the very special relationship between the UK and US on Wednesday. A senior Downing Street official said: It s his team and he thought it would make a personal gift. . The Prime Minister will also give the US leader a copy of the Atlantic Charter which paved the way for the formation of Nato, complete with then Labour leader Clement Attlee s amendments. The new Prime Minister met the US President for the first time at the Nato summit in Washington before their talks in the White House later. The president, 81, is seeking reelection in November despite discontent within the Democrat ranks about his suitability due to his age and concerns about his health. Sir Keir, who has proposed forcing peers to retire from the House of Lords at 80, sidestepped a suggestion that meant Mr Biden was too old, instead insisting he was motivated by reducing the size of the Upper Chamber. Sir Keir told reporters accompanying him on his first international trip as Prime Minister: I ve already had a phone call with President Biden. I want to follow up on that, this is obviously a very special relationship we have between the UK and the US. We have, within that, a special aspect when it comes to defence and security for obvious reasons including our commitment to Nato. We make a unique contribution in Europe to Nato and therefore it s a very good opportunity for me to talk to the President about how we take forward the important work at this summit. . Asked whether he believed his plan for peers to retire at 80 should apply across the board, Sir Keir said: In terms of the age in the House of Lords, the simple fact is that our House of Lords is massive. It s the second biggest political chamber in the world. I think it s only the Chinese who have a bigger political chamber than our House of Lords, we have to reduce it. That is the primary driver of the retirement at 80. You can see why that needs to be done. We ve got 800plus members of the House of Lords, it s simply too big. We need to reduce it. So it doesn t reflect on how other elected representatives are chosen in other countries, it s to do with the size of the House of Lords. . Foreign Secretary David Lammy, who accompanied Sir Keir on the trip to Washington, met his US counterpart Antony Blinken. The State Department said the pair reaffirmed the importance of ensuring Ukraine has the economic, security, and humanitarian assistance it needs to defend its sovereignty and territorial integrity . They also discussed the need to reach a ceasefire in Gaza that secures the release of hostages and lays the groundwork for durable peace . John Healey, the new Defence Secretary, also met his counterpart Lloyd Austin. In a post on X, formerly Twitter, Mr Austin shared a photograph of the two men together, but misspelled the UK Cabinet minister s name as Secretary Healy . Our shared ideals are at the heart of the USUK special relationship. I look forward to working closely with my new UK counterpart to tackle today s security challenges, the US defence secretary added. What's for dinner?

UK's Labour leader, Sir Keir Starmer, plans to gift US President Joe Biden a personalized Arsenal shirt and the Atlantic Charter during their meeting at the White House to strengthen the UK-US relationship.

No products in the cart. Former Director General of the Directorate on Corruption and Economic CrimeDCEC, Tymon Katlholo prevailed over the rogue Directorate of Intelligence and Security Services DIS over their excessive use of force when they raided and barricaded his office, and detained some DCEC officers for interrogation in 2022. The DIS purported it was looking for files regarding national security investigations. The judgement was delivered on Friday morning by a Court of Appeal CoA bench made of Justice Isaac Lesetedi and Justices Bess Nkabinde and Edwin Cameron. Delivering the judgement, Justice Lesetedi said this was a rare matter where two state agencies came in conflict to the extent the matter escalated to the apex court. The Judge said it was the first of its kind in Botswana. The dispute had escalated without intervention from the powers that be despite the erstwhile DCEC Director General having made attempts to seek intervention. Consequently, the CoA ruled that: this case concerns an egregious excess of authority and cried out for rectification and rebuke. Only the courts disposed over the power to administer these correctives. The High Court acted with propriety in granting the orders it did. The apex court dismissed the DIS and Ministry of Justice appeal with costs. The Attorney General had appealed the case after the Lobatse High Court, Reuben Lekorwe ruled in favour of Katlholo who initiated the suit in his personal capacity. The High Court had found that the DIS had no mandate to seal the offices of the DCEC head honcho. Lekorwe ordered that the files in his office be placed in custody for safe keeping. Giving background to the matter, Justice Lesetedi said the case was first brought to the High Court by the then DCEC director general, Katlholo who moved an urgent application against DIS agents. Lesetedi said the case was precipitated by events that transpired when the DIS raided the DCEC offices when Katlholo was away on official duty in Rwanda on 3rd May 2022. Katlholo and another officer s offices were sealed and labelled crimescene when the DIS agents came searching for certain files it claimed were necessary for investigations concerning national security of Botswana reads the judgement. Despite, the repeated attempts by the DCEC boss to reach out to the Attorney General, his efforts were thwarted, as per the judgement. The DCEC wanted AG to initiate legal proceedings against the DIS, but it fidgeted. DCEC felt the AG failed to engage the DIS Director General Peter Magosi over the matter. Although the High Court ruled in favour of Katlholo, the AG were opposed to it citing that he had no mandate to institute legal proceedings on behalf of a state agency as they are represented by state lawyers. Meanwhile, Katlholo maintained that he was acting to safeguard the independence and integrity of the DCEC. But the AG believed the DIS acted legally and within its statutory mandate. Subsequently, Katlholo was suspended pending disciplinary proceedings. The fallout between DIS and DCEC come from way back. The two institutions have in recent memory differed over issues of national interest like the alleged P100 billion theft at Bank of Botswana. Whilst the DCEC always maintained that the prosecution was a wild goosechase, the DIS on the other hand felt there was something to be salvaged. Both agencies are by statute empowered to help investigate. The DIS was primarily set to advise on national security while the DCEC investigates corruption and economic crimes and forwards the evidence to the Directorate of Public Prosecutions DPP for prosecutions. Meanwhile, the DIS continues to lose a number of court cases. The institution labelled rogue for its excessive use of power, arbitrary arrests of journalists, politicians have been accused of abusing its mandate and some within the civil society, academia and opposition have called for its reforms. 2024Copyright The Patriot On Sunday Inspired bySearch Mart.

PresidentJoe Bidensays he would beOK with losingto former PresidentDonald Trumpin their electoral rematch this November, and Jon Stewart thinks that's a huge problem. In aninterviewwith ABC News's George Stephanopoulos that aired Friday, Biden said he could accept defeat if he tried his best. "I'll feel as long as I gave it my all, and I did as good a job as I know I can do, that's what this is about," Biden said. "That's not what this is about!" Stewart said of Biden's remarks in the latestepisodeof "The Daily Show" that aired Monday. "There are no participation trophies in endgame democracy.". Stewart's remarks were part of a wider segment where he criticized Biden'sdisastrous performanceduring his June 27 presidential debate with Trump. During the segment, Stewart highlighted what he thought were "obvious weaknesses" with Biden's campaign particularly, the president's multiple verbal snafus and emphasized that the November race has become an "existential fight for freedom and democracy" in the US.

But the comedian said the current uncertainty over Biden's candidacy could yield an unprecedented opportunity for America. "I am in no way saying Biden's got to drop out, but can't we stresstest this candidacy?" Stewart said on Monday. "Do you have any idea how thirsty Americans are for any hint of inspiration or leadership and a release from this choice of a megalomaniac and a suffocating gerontocracy?". Stewart suggested that the Democratic Party could instead host an open convention so that candidates could challenge Biden for the party's nomination. "I'm just workshopping here," Stewart said.

Brian Sime of Revillo was presented with the South Dakota Rural Letter Carrier of the Year award in Watertown in April by Brandon Delzer, president of the S.D. Rural Letter Carriers Association. Brian Sime of Revillo spent his birthday Monday doing what he loves: Driving around the countryside delivering the mail to his friends and neighbors. Sime is the reigning South Dakota's Rural Letter Carrier of the Year. He has driven his mail route around Revillo for more than 35 years. Before that, it was his father who drove the route, making it more than 70 years that the route has been in the family. Sime s route includes about 165 families and covers about 145 miles, most on gravel roads. After spending about 1 hours at the Revillo post office, he takes about five hours to do the route. Sime told KXLG News it doesn t feel like a job. But being a rural mail carrier can involve much more than delivering mail. Over the years, he s helped people who ve been injured on their farms and helped people who ve gotten stuck in the snow or had a flat time. It s all part of being a good friend and neighbor, he said. A lot has changed over the 70 years he and his father have manned the mail route, mostly concerning what he delivers. First Class letters used to be the majority, but that s not the case anymore. Rural Letter Carrier of the Year isn t the first honor that Sime has received. After 30 years of accidentfree mail delivery, he was recognized with a Million Mile Award. And he s been accident free since then, which is remarkable given the unpredictable weather and number of deervehicle collisions that occur in South Dakota. He said he s had some close calls over the years. Sime is also heavily involved in his community and church, and serves as a volunteer firefighter and firstresponder. He also operates a small farm. . . Success!An email has been sent towith a link to confirm list signup. Error!There was an error processing your request.
