Jet valves spilling water are seen from the top of the Hungry Horse Dam in this file photo. Daily Inter Lake. One of the most efficient ways to store energy is to pump water from one reservoir to another higher reservoir. The energy used in the pumping can then be recovered at a later time by releasing the water into turbines generating electricity. This technology, pumped storage hydropower, has been used for decades in Europe and America with efficiencies of 80. Why is this technology of particular interest to Montana? This state has a great potential for wind power. Already there are many wind machines at Judith Gap and another cluster near the Canadian border. A problem of wind energy is variability. Winds are never steady for long periods of time. A fluctuating source of electricity has very little market value. Solar power has the same disadvantage.

Pumped storage hydropower is an efficient energy storage method by pumping water to higher reservoirs for later electricity generation. Montana's interest in this technology is due to its wind power potential, as wind energy can be unpredictable leading to fluctuating electricity supply with little market value.

Master Builders Australia welcomes the opportunity to respond to the draft National Urban Policy. Our members are critical to the implementation of government urban policy objectives and priorities and are at the heart of building the urban environment that supports the aspiration of more inclusive, safe, sustainable, healthy and prosperous communities. As part of the development of the national urban policy seeking to better integrate an urban lens across Australian policy making, it is imperative that this policy not only prioritises planning and design aspirations but also has an objective view on what s needed to implement urban policy objectives and priorities. This includes supporting the growth of sustainable and profitable businesses that are needed to build Australia s cities, towns and suburbs. This requires the sensible balancing of policy aspiration whilst enabling more viable pathways for building and construction activity. This has happened together with productivity in the industry falling by 18 per cent over the last decade. With cost of living and doing business pressures being felt across the country, this is not sustainable for consumers or the building and construction industry. Master Builders has therefore responded to the six objectives and principles and their corresponding actions in the draft National Urban Plan with further views on building sector implementation considerations.

JAY OTIS Federal Credit Union has donated 5,000 to the Western Maine Labor Council, the organization that has purchased the Local 14 Union Hall at 6 Intervale Road in Jay. This donation will go toward building renovations and the preservation of the building s historical artwork. The Western Maine Labor Council WMLC, formerly headquartered in Lewiston, is comprised of labor unions whose members work or reside within Androscoggin, Franklin, and Oxford counties. Knowing OTIS Federal Credit Union s ties to the paper industry, Building Committee member Barbara Arsenault reached out in pursuit of a partnership to renovate the Local 14 Hall, as it will be WMLC s new, more centralized headquarters. Before the Intervale Road building can be fully utilized, Arsenault relayed that the rugs would need to be removed, the chimney repaired, interior and exterior painting completed, and bathrooms updated to be ADA compliant. She added that the WMLC wants to preserve the Jay Strike Mural located on the outside of the building, and that they also plan to add solar panels down the road. According to Arsenault, the end goal is for the building to not only be the new WMLC headquarters but also a center for labor history and community learning that will bring new activity to the Jay area. . After receiving the Labor Council s donation request, the OTIS Federal Credit Union Board of Directors voted to donate 5,000 toward this project. Regarding this decision, OTIS FCU s Vice Chair of the Board Gary Desjardins commented, The Otis Mill, after which OTIS Federal Credit Union is named, was built in 1906. The Coating Prep department at the Otis Mill was the driving force behind the establishment of the Credit Union in 1954. This check is a tribute to the hundreds of paper workers who worked at the Andro and Otis Mills over many decades. . The Western Maine Labor Council recently held a press conference, thanking OTIS FCU for their donation as well as others who have been involved with this project. This contribution is not merely a financial gift; it is a powerful endorsement of the Western Maine Labor Council, Local 14 Solidarity Center, and our mission to preserve the rich history of paper making in this area, stated Linda Deane, Executive Director of the Labor Council. She also said, With the Otis Mill being demolished and the Androscoggin Mill closing, leaving no active paper mills in the area, it is imperative that we preserve this heritage. The history of paper making is not just about industry; it is about the lives, struggles, and triumphs of countless workers who have contributed to this community. Your support helps us honor their legacy and ensures that their stories will not be forgotten. . The Labor Council welcomes additional donations, as they need further financial support to complete the building upgrades and mural preservation. Deane expressed, We hope that others will be inspired by the OTIS Federal Credit Union s generosity and join us in our mission to preserve and promote our local labor history. .

Britain has voted in a general election which an exit poll has predicted will hand the opposition Labour party a landslide win and end nearly a decadeandahalf of Conservative rule. The first national ballot since Boris Johnson won the Tories a decisive victory in 2019 follows Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's surprise call to hold an election six months earlier than required. His gamble looks set to backfire spectacularly, with polls throughout the sixweek campaign and for the last two years pointing to a heavy defeat for his rightwing party. That would almost certainly put Labour leader Keir Starmer, 61, in Downing Street, as leader of the largest party in parliament. Centreleft Labour is projected to win its first general election since 2005 by historic proportions, with a flurry of electioneve polls all forecasting its biggestever victory. "Britain's future is on the ballot," he said. "But change will only happen if you vote for it.". 'People are not satisfied'. Voting began at 7am in more than 40,000 polling stations across the country, from church halls, community centres and schools to more unusual venues such as pubs and even a ship. Mr Sunak was among the early birds, casting his ballot at his Richmond and Northallerton constituency in Yorkshire, northern England. Mr Starmer voted around two hours later in his north London seat, shortly before Liberal Democrat leader Ed Davey. Many voters said they were disillusioned but still planned to exercise their democratic right to vote. "I have no confidence in any party. They are not good enough to run the country," said Robin Moore, a 60yearold architect in Rotherhithe in east London. A 20yearold university student, who asked to be identified just by her first name Barakot, was more optimistic, however. "Lots of things are going on, the costofliving crisis, being able to buy a house is so hard. It's the right moment to vote, hopefully to get the right people in" government. "It's good for everyone if we see some changes," she said. Voting closed at 10pm. Broadcasters announced an exit poll, which typically provides an accurate picture of how the main parties have performed. Results from the UK's 650 constituencies trickle in overnight, with the winning party expected to hit 326 seats the threshold for a parliamentary majority as dawn breaks tomorrow. Polls suggest voters will punish the Tories after 14 years of often chaotic rule and could oust a string of government ministers, with talk that even Sunak's seat might not be safe. That would make him the first sitting prime minister not to retain his seat in a general election. "I appreciate people have frustrations with our party," he conceded on Wednesday. "But tomorrow's vote.. is a vote about the future.". Endorsements. Mr Sunak, 44, is widely seen as having run a dismal campaign, with anger over his decision to leave DDay commemorations in France early the standout moment. In new blows on Wednesday, The Sun newspaper switched allegiance to Labour a key endorsement given the tabloid has backed the winner at every election for several decades. It follows The Financial Times, The Economist and The Sunday Times as well as traditionally leftleaning papers The Guardian and The Daily Mirror, also endorsing the party. Meanwhile, three largescale surveys indicated Labour was on the brink of a record victory, with the Tories set for their worstever result and the centrist Liberal Democrats resurgent in third. YouGov, Focaldata and More in Common all projected Labour would secure at least 430 seats, topping the 418 under Tony Blair in 1997. The Conservatives could plunge to a record low of less than 127, the trio predicted. The Lib Dems were tipped to scoop dozens of seats up from their current tally of 15 while Nigel Farage's antiimmigrant Reform UK party was set to win a handful. YouGov and More in Common both forecast the Brexit figurehead would finally become an MP at the eighth time of asking. 'Decade of national renewal'. If the predictions are accurate, Mr Sunak will tomorrow visit head of state King Charles III to tender his resignation as prime minister. Mr Starmer would meet the monarch shortly after to take up his invitation to head the next government and become prime minister. The Labour leader would then travel to Downing Street where he would be expected to deliver a speech before making ministerial appointments. It would cap a remarkable political rise for the former human rights lawyerr, first elected an MP in 2015. He has promised a "decade of national renewal" but faces a daunting task revitalising creaking public services and a flatlining economy. Accreditation:AFP. RT 2024.

Ikea's parent company grow its New Zealand forestry portfolio.Photo:Unsplash. While shoppers eagerly await IKEA opening it's first New Zealand store, it's parent company continues to grow its forestry portfolio here. The Swedish furniture giant hasbegun construction of its Auckland storewhich is due to open in late 2025. Since August 2021, it's parent company Ingka Investments has been buyingfarmland, to convert to forestry, and existing forestry blocks around New Zealand as part of IKEA's sustainability strategy. Data from the Overseas Investment Office shows Ingka Investmentshas been given approvalfor 25 sales in New Zealand which cover 23,495 hectares, while one application is awaiting a decision. Existing forestry blocks cover 4290 hectares while 19,205 hectares of farmland had been bought to turn into rotational pine forests. On its website it said it's buying land in New Zealand, the US, Romania and Baltic states was part of its longterm commitment to responsible forest management. "Wood is an essential part of the IKEA identity. We invest in forestland because we believe we can play an important role in supplying wood from more sustainable sources for our everyday lives.". Some of the more prominent sales include Huiarua Station and Matanui Station in the Gisborne region with a combined area of just over 6000 hectares. Ingka Investments paid 88 million for the two farms which were being planted into rotational forestry through until 2026. An Ingka Investments spokesperson said while the company did not have a specific land acquisition target, it did intend to make further investments. "We are committed to being in Aotearoa New Zealand for many years and are taking a longterm approach to our planning. "Our goal is to protect and support forest resources for generations to come, we want to create longterm employment opportunities, support local biodiversity through the protected parts of our forests, and help to sequester GHGs through the growth of our trees and through the soil of the protected parts of our forests.". The company said it had a small management team based in Tauranga that oversees all Ingka Investments properties, and it also worked with forest management companies Forest 360, Logic Forest Solutions, IFS Growth, and Southern Forests. "Our general approach is to invest in areas of resilience and sustainability that also offer returns. These are longterm investments spanning across decades in a material that is a significant part of the IKEA identity. In Aotearoa New Zealand, we have invested in both afforestation projects and existing forestland. "However, we do not participate in any type of carbon farming. We do not intend to sell carbon credits as part of our routine business practices and we are not currently engaged in carbon offsetting. We are proud that our forests can be part of the solution to climate change, but using them as a source for other companies to offset their carbon emissions is not why we have forests, Ingka Investments said. Copyright 2024,Radio New Zealand. Companies based in Europe and the USA have bought the farms, which cover more than 2,000 hectares. The sale of four sheep and beef farms to overseas investors, who will turn about 7100 hectares into rotational forests, has been approved. But its opening date has been pushed back from December 2024 to late 2025. for adfree news and current affairs. Country RSS. Follow RNZ News

The American Revolution was led by many men with names we know by heart Adams, Revere, Hancock, and Washington to name a few. But there s a lesser known name who s received little to no time in the limelight in the history books: Dr. Joseph Warren of Massachusetts. It s very interesting, Mark Levinsays. In New England, early on when the war broke out, before 1776, Dr. Joseph Warren was known better than George Washington. . During the Battle of Bunker Hill, there was a problem that Warren, a leader of the Revolutionary movement in Boston, helped solve. The colonists were short on gunpowder, so Warren and a few others put together and signed a letter addressed to the Congress of New York asking for help. You read that, and you look at that, and you really think about the men who wrote it and signed it, who put everything on the line, everything they had, including their lives, Levin says, admiring their sacrifice. . . When the Patriots ended up running out of gunpowder during this battle, some of them stood firm at the front line while others were ordered to retreat for another day. Dr. Warren insisted on staying on the front line. He was a wanted man, they knew who he was, Levin explains. The Americans are overwhelmed, they fight hand to hand combat, and one of the higher ranking British officers, as they were charging up the last time, saw Joseph Warren, aimed his pistol at him in nearly point blank range, shot him between the eyes. . . . And so as not to make a martyr out of Dr. Joseph Warren, they would cut him up into pieces, they would burn what was left of him, he adds, noting that the British forces also urinated on his remains. The American forces were able to determine that Warren was one of the dead as in his teeth he had some easily identifiable iron, which was made by Paul Revere, who was a metalsmith. I tell you that as a personal example, not personal to me, but a specific example, of what took place, Levin says. .

Dr. Joseph Warren, a lesser-known figure of the American Revolution, played a vital role in the patriot movement. He helped solve gunpowder shortages during the Battle of Bunker Hill and bravely stood on the front lines, ultimately meeting a tragic end. Despite his sacrifice, Warren's story remains less recognized in history compared to other prominent leaders of the revolution.

President Joe Biden had a recent verbal check-in with his physician, Dr. Kevin O'Connor, concerning a cold. The White House press secretary stated Biden did not undergo a medical exam beforehand and emphasized the routine nature of such interactions. Despite Biden's admission of sleep issues to Democratic governors, his team reiterates his humanity and balanced approach. With a crucial interview airing soon, experts believe Biden aims to address health concerns and connect with voters.

Earlier this year, in order to encourage enforcement of panhandling and anticamping ordinances, Utah lawmakers gave cities with shelters access to state funds if they followed through. But now, the Supreme Court has made it legally clear that cities can impose citations, and even arrest, those who sleep outdoors or camp in public spaces. The court s63 decisionalong ideological lines ruled thatanticamping ordinancesare not considered cruel and unusual punishment under the8th Amendment. An earlier lower court ruling against the city of Grants Pass, Oregon, had paralyzed attempts at camping enforcement across the West. Now that s been undone. Jason Groth, an attorney and former public defender, said he felt a lot of disappointment when the ruling came down. Before the decision, arresting or citing people for camping outside when no shelter beds were available was blocked by the Ninth Circuit Court. Even though the injunction didn t cover Utah, which is in the 10th Circuit, Groth said many policymakers, advocates, and legislators used that as a guidepost to understand how they should be approaching this issue. . But now the gloves are off and the door is open to prosecute people for sleeping outside when they don't have a choice. As a result, he predicts a handful of consequences like harsher enforcement methods and more people being pumped into the criminal legal system, which already has a backlog of a lot of other cases. . Prosecutor offices might be filing more charges against these populations. Public defenders are going to be getting more cases. And also a lot more people in the court because they don't have a place to go because they don't have a place to sleep. . He also believes that cities will approach public camping differently. In some areas, he anticipates harsher and more consistent enforcement done unapologetically, including the possibility of more abatements. In turn, the unhoused population will likely respond by moving out of the public view and to areas where there's not a lot of resources to avoid arrest and prosecution. While they are escaping potential arrest, Groth said the unhoused will also have less access to things that they need to survive, such as medical care, food and shelter services. . You're going to see a lot of money being pumped into a criminal legal system when it could be much better spent putting that towards unsheltered services, he said. . As a public defender, he said there are a lot of reasons why someone would not want to utilize a shelter and would prefer to sleep outside. Sometimes shelters don t allow married couples to stay together, other times they re scared for their safety or their possessions. While he doesn t foresee much change in terms of how the state and various cities handle unsheltered people, he said the ruling will make it harder to support them overall. Now there are less protections you can invoke as a defense lawyer, for example, in court, regarding the status of individuals that don't have a place to go. . We won't have meaningful defenses to camping on virtue of someone's status, Miller said. And so, inherently, what happens is that your status of not having any wealth becomes a de facto crime. . Some states, like Rhode Island and California, have already enacted something similar. Miller said it s a really productive groundwork for how to better serve unsheltered individuals. . It informs the unsheltered community of their inherent rights as they deal with the legal system and as they deal with their circumstance. . I m not claiming it will solve everything, Miller said. But I think it s a good place to start. . . They are our family, friends and neighbors and deserving of human dignity. No one should have to live in a place not meant for human habitation, and it is essential to enforce local laws for the safety of all in our communities, the statement continued. In the meantime, Groth believes Utah has a chance to chart its own course and not just apply the strictest enforcement it can. We need to figure out a better way forward if we want to have any chance of addressing this in a meaningful way that also protects the liberty and dignity of unsheltered communities.

Utah lawmakers granted cities access to state funds for enforcing panhandling and camping ordinances. The Supreme Court ruling allows cities to cite and arrest individuals sleeping outdoors or camping in public spaces. This decision may lead to harsher enforcement, increased involvement in the criminal legal system, and potential displacement of unhoused populations. The ruling limits legal protections for unsheltered individuals and could result in their status as being homeless becoming a de facto crime. The focus should shift towards providing unsheltered services rather than funneling resources into the criminal legal system.

As malnutrition grips Gaza and the death toll nears 40,000 including nearly 15,000 children Israel s brutal attack on Gaza drags on. A school near Khan Younis was the latest target in a major airstrike. AnIsraeli airstrikehas killed dozens, mostly women and children, in a makeshift shelter for displaced families at a school entrance in Gaza. The strike hit the tents of displaced families in the town of Abassan, east ofKhan Younis, killing 29 people according to the health officials in the Gaza strip. An Associated Press reporter who counted the bodies at Nasser Hospital confirmed that the strike killed at least 25 people. Israelimilitary claim they struck aHamasfighter with precise munition and is reviewing reports that civilians were harmed. In a major development today, they have now issued an evacuation order for the entirety of Gaza City, telling Palestinians to leave southwards to the centre of the Gaza strip via designated safe routes . Tanks continue to advance inGaza City,forcing thousands to flee for safe refuge. But areas where Palestinians can take real refuge appear to be nonexistent in the Gaza strip. The officialdeath tollin Gaza is now approaching 38,000 including around 15,000 children with more believed to be buried under the rubble. Reputable medical journal The Lancet recently claimed that the death toll from the Gaza war could exceed 186,000, if factors such as famine, disease, destruction of health facilities and those buried under rubble are taken into account. UNRWA chief Philippe Lazzarini says it was the fourth school to be hit in the past four days in Gaza, writing on X: Since the war began, twothirds ofUNRWAschools in Gaza have been hit, some were bombed out, many severely damaged. The blatant disregard of international humanitarian law cannot become the new normal. . Large sections of Gaza s main city have been destroyed in the nine months of fighting sinceIsraellaunched its huge military offensive onOctober 7, in the wake of the deadly Hamas attacks in southern Israel in which 1,139 people were massacred and 251 hostages taken. Several hundred thousand Palestinians are believed to remain camped in the north of Gaza, which has been under siege since June 2007. Thehealth ministryin Gaza, run by Hamas, says Israel s current campaign has killed or wounded over 5 percent of Gaza s 2.3 million population. Almost the entire population has been displaced with hundreds of thousands seeking refuge in tent camps. An exodus of people in Gaza who do not know which direction would be the safest is creating a dangerously chaotic situation according to theUN humanitarian office. Palestinians were even told to flee through neighbourhoods where fighting was underway, the office reported. Children have died frommalnutritionrecently in Gaza as famine grips the enclave, a group of human rights experts employed by the UN confirmed. "We declare that Israel's intentional and targeted starvation campaign against the Palestinian people is a form of genocidal violence and has resulted in famine across all of Gaza," they said. "We call upon the international community to prioritise the delivery ofhumanitarian aidby land by any means necessary, end Israel's siege, and establish a ceasefire, it added. Israel claims it is working to allow more aid in. It comes soon after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahusnubbed a US proposal for peace in Gaza. US PresidentJoe Bidenoutlined a threephase peace plan last month, with phase one including a sixweek ceasefire and the release of the Palestinian prisoners Israel holds. Inphase two, Hamas was set to release all remaining hostages as Israel completed its withdrawal from the Gaza strip. Phase three was the reconstruction of Gaza. AlthoughNetanyahuwas thought to back it, he has now said he is only prepared to make a partial deal hinting at a short ceasefire in return for some, but not all of the hostages. That will return to us some of the people. But we are committed to continuing the war after a pause, in order to complete the goal of eliminating Hamas, the farright prime minister said. Dozens of the hostages were freed in late November but of the 120 remaining, Israeli authorities say around a third are dead. Get email updates with the day's biggest stories

Malnutrition is worsening in Gaza as the death toll approaches 40,000. Israel's attacks continue, with a recent airstrike on a school killing dozens, mainly women and children. Palestinians are ordered to evacuate Gaza City as tanks advance. The total death toll could surpass 186,000 according to The Lancet. Reputable medical sources and the UN criticize Israel's actions and urge for humanitarian aid access. Israeli Prime Minister rejects US peace proposals for Gaza, insisting on continuing the war to eliminate Hamas.

Keir Starmer addressed the potential of a Border poll while in Northern Ireland on Monday, July 8 as part of a tour of the UK after beingelected as the new British Prime Minister last Thursday. This is provided for by the Good Friday Agreement, Starmer told reporters at Government Buildings in Belfast on Monday when asked about a potential Border poll. The framework is set out and I m absolutely committed to the Good Friday Agreement. Today is a recommitment to that and to the approach and the role of the UK government and that is the honest broker. I am Prime Minister for the whole of the UK, elected into office just a few days ago. But to reaffirm the importance of the principles of the Good Friday Agreement is part and parcel of why I am here today. . Sign up to IrishCentral's newsletter to stay uptodate with everything Irish!. Starmer was elected the new British Prime Minister followingThursday's General Election across the United Kingdom. His Labour party clinched what is being described as a "landslide" victory over Conservatives, who had been in power for more than a decade. In October last year,Starmer said an Irish border poll is "absolutely hypothetical" and "not even on the horizon. "He had previously said that he would campaign for Northern Ireland to remain part of the UK if a referendum is held during his lifetime, stating that he would "make the case for the United Kingdom.". Starmer's comments in October drew some criticism from academics and prounity groups in Northern Ireland, but he appeared to offer a more diplomatic response on Monday in Belfast. As per the Good Friday Agreement,Northern Ireland's Secretary of Statehas the power to call a border poll "if at any time it appears likely to him that a majority of those voting would express a wish that Northern Ireland should cease to be part of the United Kingdom and form part of a united Ireland.". On Saturday, Northern Ireland's new Secretary of State Hillary Benn, also a member of the UK Labour Party, told reporters in Belfast that believes "there is no evidence that that condition has been met" to call a border poll, adding that he is "not going to set out further criteria because there is the one criteria.". Meanwhile, Sinn F in, Ireland's allisland nationalist party that campaigns on Irish unity, emerged as the biggest Northern Ireland party after last week's UK General Election. Of the 18 Westminster seats that were up for grabs in Northern Ireland, Sinn F in won the most, seven. The Democratic Unionist Party won five, the SDLP won two, and the Alliance Party, Ulster Unionist Party, Traditional Unionist Voice, and an Independent each won one seat. Sinn F in, however, maintains a longstanding policy of not taking their seats in British Parliament, in part because it would require them to swear allegiance to the monarchy. In its manifesto for the UK General Election, Sinn F in said in part: "The Irish and British governments must set a date for a referendum on Irish unity.". On Monday in Belfast, Starmer met with a Sinn F in delegation that includedMichelle O'Neill, the First Minister of Northern Ireland and the vice president of the party, andMary Lou McDonald, the party's president. O'Neill described Sinn F in's engagements with Starmer on Monday as "productive.". Our Sinn F in delegation held a productive meeting with the new British Prime Minister, Keir Starmer. There are opportunities ahead for us to usher in a change in BritishIrish relations to better the lives of all our people and communities. We made a strong case for fair pic.twitter.comLZa1gnR9rw. . McDonald similarly said Monday's meeting was "constructive" and "very friendly.". She went on to tell reporters: "What we can say without fear of contradiction is that the issue of reunification and referendums has never been more alive in Irish political discourse, right across the island. "The Westminster election again reflected that all has changed here, and changing. The need for all of us to work together constructively and to plan for that future.". She added: "There is a lot of work to be done, and I think the context is good.". Today's meeting with new British Prime Minister Keir Starmer marks a historic change, offering a new opportunity to foster positive relations between Britain and Ireland. We discussed many issues including the need for investment in health and public services, the issue of a pic.twitter.comAFla5Q8a6n. .

Automakers are locked in a heated battle for EV supremacy in the United States, but one dealer group is alleging that Hyundai s numbers might not be entirely accurate.Napleton Automotive Groupin Illinois recently filed a lawsuit, saying the automaker pressured them to recode unsold inventory as part of their loaner fleet. That move would make sales figures look better without dealers moving any additional EV inventory. Hyundai also allegedly dangled allocations of indemand models to dealers who complied and threatened to withhold vehicles from those who didn t. Uncooperative dealers also reportedly lost access to Hyundai s Flex Cash program, which gave them room to discount highvolume models. . Lawsuit documentation includes a phone call transcript, during which a Hyundai district manager told a dealer that the company is up against the wall. A Hyundai spokesperson stated that the company does not condone the falsification of sales numbers and said that it had opened an internal investigation. We intend to take any and all corrective and remedial actions required based on that investigation, they said. Napleton alleges that Hyundai s recent statement that it would face headwinds in the second half of the year was due to the coding scheme. It s worth noting that the dealer group is locked in another legal battle with Hyundai in Florida, where the automaker terminated its franchise agreement due to the Napleton owner s son being charged with sexual battery of an employee. .

Hyundai faces allegations of pressuring dealers to manipulate EV sales figures in the US, by recoding unsold inventory as loaner fleet vehicles. Lawsuit claims Hyundai offered incentives for compliance and penalties for refusal. Hyundai denies wrongdoing, citing an internal investigation. Dealer group also accuses Hyundai of referencing coding scheme when acknowledging future challenges. This controversy follows another legal battle in Florida over a terminated franchise agreement due to unrelated misconduct allegations.

Chances are you probably haven't heard of this beach before. TheSuffolkcoast has many stunning beaches, from the golden sands at Southwold to the shingle at Aldeburgh. But there is one lesserknown beach between Bawdsey and Orford which is a haven for wildlife. Roughly a two hour drive fromCambridge, Shingle Street is a remote stretch of coastline which is known for its shingle and pebbles. Its prime location makes it a great spot for wildlife, and Terns can be spotted here laying their eggs in the single. You may even spot the odd seal basking in the area too. The beach is at the mouth of the River Alde, and faces a 10milelong shingle spit, known asOrford Ness. This means that the beach is a cove with lagoons but whilst they make look appealing, they are hotspots for quicksand so swimming is not advised. Shingle Street used to be a fishing village, but in more recent times, it was used as a filming location. According toVisitSuffolk, Shingle Street was used to film part of Danny Boyle's movie Yesterday 2019. The film follows the story of a struggling musician who realises he is the only person who can remember The Beatles after waking up in an alternate reality where they never existed. In the film, Shingle Street is used as the location where John Lennon has retired in a small cottage overlooking the sea. We couldn't imagine a more idyllic and beautiful place for the great John Lennon to have retired if only it were true!. Please be aware when visiting that all the land atShingle Streetis privately owned, so no camping is allowed. There are two car parks at the site that are also privately owned which visitors can park at for free. It's also worth being aware that there are no toilets at the beach and no lifeguard. Dogs are allowed on the beach but should be kept close by and away from nesting birds.

Shingle Street is a lesser-known beach between Bawdsey and Orford, known for its wildlife and filming location for "Yesterday". The beach is a remote stretch of coastline with shingle and pebbles, attracting Terns and occasionally seals. While picturesque, it's advised not to swim due to quicksand. Shingle Street was a fishing village and is now used as a filming location, featuring in Danny Boyle's movie. Visiting tips include no camping, privately owned land, free parking, no lifeguards, and keeping dogs away from nesting birds.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. KCTV As Missouri voters are likelyon track to vote on a constitutional amendmentto enshrine the right to abortion, the state s leading antiabortion organization, Missouri Right to Life, has made claims about the resolution s impact which legal experts refute as untrue. . The referendum would reestablish an individual s right to receive abortion care up to a certain point. It also requires the government not to discriminate, in government programs, funding, and other activities, against persons providing or obtaining reproductive health care. . This part of the amendment, Missouri Right to Life President Susan Klein said, would effectively block any lawsuit against an abortion provider for malpractice or negligence. It basically takes away the right to sue an abortionist, the right to sue a human trafficker, the right to sue the perpetrator of incest, Klein said. Former Missouri Supreme Court chief judge Mike Wolff said these claims are all based on extremely loose, and wildly exaggerated legal opinions with no basis in actual law. It would have no effect whatsoever, Wolff said. We would essentially be back to where we were with Roe versus Wade. If there was a malpractice committed in the course of giving medical care of any kind, Roe versus Wade did not protect the doctor or the hospital or anybody else from liability in a malpractice action. . As for Klein s claims about human trafficking and incest, Wolff said there s absolutely nothing in the amendment that would affect how those crimes are prosecuted in the state of Missouri. There s nothing in here that makes what is criminal behavior, rape, incest, that kind of thing, to be protected in any way, Wolff said. There s nothing in here about that. . A key section of the referendum says that any restrictions on abortion will be presumed invalid unless a court can prove they are medically necessary for safety. This is like turning the presumption of innocence in criminal cases into a presumption of guilt until proven innocent, Missouri Right to Life attorney James Coles said in a legal analysis. It represents another new barrier to defending the validity of abortion statutes in the courts. . On this one, Wolff agrees, given that s precisely the point of the initiative: to establish that abortion is not a crime and that it should be the state s burden to prove the necessity of a restriction. So, if the legislature tries to impose additional restraints on this, it would have to show that they re necessary to protect a person s safety and some of the examples that you can come up with would just be absurdly unrelated to patient safety. . The Missouri Secretary of State s office has until Aug. 13 to determine whether enough valid signatures were collected to put this, and other questions, on the Nov. 5 ballot. Copyright 2024 KCTV. All rights reserved.

Missouri voters may vote on a constitutional amendment to protect abortion rights despite claims from anti-abortion group Missouri Right to Life being refuted by legal experts. The amendment would ensure the right to abortion care, prohibit discrimination in reproductive healthcare, and challenge restrictions on abortion unless proven medically necessary. Critics argue the claims made have no legal basis and would not impact prosecuting crimes like human trafficking or incest.

There are still more than 60 Angus Council houses unoccupied in the area of Brechin most badly affected during the destruction of October 2023. Angus Council s strategy to deal with the area of Brechin worst hit by Storm Babet will be delivered just weeks ahead of the disaster s first anniversary. But it may not signal a shortterm return for tenants of 65 council houses which are still unoccupied. Some have previously raised fears the most badly affected properties may never be rebuilt. The majority of the damaged houses are in the area around River Street. It was the scene of the major operation on the night of October 19 2023 as emergency teams rescued hundreds of people by boat. While some have returned to their houses, many remain in alternative or temporary accommodation. A council spokesperson confirmed 65 groundfloor properties are still empty after Storm Babet. The recovery strategy is part of the council shousing improvement plan for 202425. It was recently approved by communities committee councillors. The plan reveals an options appraisal for floodhit Brechin housing stock is due to be completed by September 30. A communities committee is scheduled for October 1. That is just weeks before the first anniversary of the destruction caused by the River South Esk. Arbroath councillor Brenda Durno raised the prefab question during discussion of the plan. She said: Five years ago we talked about prefab housing to alleviate the housing crisis at that time. Obviously we have the problems in Brechin now. I wonder if there s been any more looking into prefab houses until we can get the houses fixed. Other councils in Scotland have used them when they have been getting works done. . Officials replied: It s certainly something we re considering as part of the options appraisal we re undertaking in Brechin. The consultants we have in are looking at all types of housing that could help with that situation. . In May, council finance director Ian Lorimer confirmed a 6.9million Bellwin scheme payoutto help meet the cost of storm damage. Meanwhile, it has emerged the Scottish Government s Storm Babet taskforce has met just twice this year. It was set up in the wake of the disaster and sat three times before the end of 2023.

And former Angus chief executive Margo Williamsonrevealed her frustrationsin an email to the Scottish Government weeks after the disaster. During the meeting on March 13, members agreed the response to Storm Babet had now moved into the mediumterm recovery phase. . She said discussions would now focus on community recovery and the longterm future of the flooded site in Brechin.

The Albanese and Lawler Labor Governments are continuing to deliver cleaner and reliable drinking water to remote Northern Territory communities. Water is vital for the future economic development of the Territory but, first and foremost, it needs to be used in a manner that does not compromise environmental and cultural values. A joint investment of 8 million will is being made to the Community Infrastructure Assessment project which will allow for water services in 55 remote communities to be assessed. The project will provide an engineering analysis of essential water services and viable solutions to secure water supplies and how to unlock community growth and identify development opportunities. The Federal Government will is also investing 2.3 million to develop a detailed business case for the expansion of the Ord Irrigation Expansion project. The project will assess the potential for the Ord River Irrigation Scheme to cross the Western Australia border and into the NT for agricultural development at the Weber plains precinct, and it will also assess the economic returns of expanding the scheme along with agricultural and regional development opportunities. Both projects are an important part of the Albanese Government's commitment supporting economic growth in regional, remote and First Nations communities. Quotes attributable to the Federal Minister for the Environment Tanya Plibersek:. "Most Australians would be shocked to learn that tens of thousands of people in remote communities still don't have access to healthy drinking water. "Our government is working with the NT Government and remote communities to identify, plan and deliver water security projects.". "This announcement builds on the more than 50 million we're investing in water projects in NT communities like Milingimbi, Yuendemu, Maningrida and Yirrkala.". Quotes attributable to the Minister for the Environment, Climate Change and Water Security Kate Worden:. "Water is such an important resource for the NT. Having reliable and clean drinking water is important for health and has the potential to unlock development in remote areas. "The 55 remote communities that will benefit from this investment and the project will allow for the identification of further improvement in water supply. "The Lawler Labor Government invests in the bush and projects like these continue our work to Close the Gap for indigenous communities.". Northern Territory Government

Albanese and Lawler Labor Governments invest 8 million in Northern Territory for clean water in remote communities.

By. Tyler Bartlam. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in a landmark decision that presidents have absolute immunity for their core constitutional powers.Mandel NganAFPGetty Imageshide caption. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in a landmark decision that presidents have absolute immunity for their core constitutional powers. In a landmark decision,the Supreme Court foundpresidents have absolute immunity for exercising their core constitutional powers and are entitled to a presumption of immunity for other official acts. The court also ruled that presidents do not have immunity for unofficial acts. Former Deputy Assistant Attorney General Harry Litman said he was horrified by the opinion and added It seems to me to restructure and reconfigure the whole relationship between the executive branch and the other branches. . The team atNPR's Trump's Trials podcastbroke down what this decision means and how it may affect Trump s legal cases. Former President Donald Trump, with attorneys Todd Blanche and Emil Bove, attends his criminal trial at Manhattan Criminal Court on May 29, 2024, in New York.Jabin BotsfordPoolGetty Imageshide caption. The Supreme Court found that presidents have absolute immunity for core constitutional powers. This means that even if the president does something that is considered illegal while exercising those core powers, he or she cannot be prosecuted for that action. The court also ruled that Trump is entitled to at least presumptive immunity from prosecution for all his official acts. . What is an official act? Then there s the presumption of immunity. The court is basically saying the president deserves the benefit of the doubt when it comes to immunity for official acts and, therefore, the bar is really high to prove otherwise. Litman said the path to overcome the presumption of immunity is unknown because the court gave such sketchy guidance. . What is known is that if an action is deemed official, DOJ special counsel Jack Smith, who is leading the cases against Trump over federal election interference and classified documents, will have to prove that prosecuting said conduct does not infringe on the authority and functions of the executive branch. . The court did say there are actions that can be prosecuted, they just have to be unrelated to the president s official duties. This likely won t be a cutanddried situation when it comes to parsing out which of Trump s actions were official or unofficial. To make matters more complicated, Litman explained:. One big problem here is the court has said when you re deciding even if it s an unofficial act you cannot take into account any evidence of conduct that would be an official act. . Meaning that even if the act is deemed unofficial and therefore open for prosecution, Smith will not be allowed to use certain evidence if that evidence is of an official nature. The court also ruled, courts may not inquire into the President s motives, so the reasoning behind any potential criminal act conducted by a president doesn t matter and cannot be presented in a trial. Even things that seem very clearly unofficial could be hard to prove that they are and could always give rise to an argument that they are official, Litman said. The court s decision is a legal win for Trump. It further delays his federal election interference case, ensuring it will not go to trial this year. It also complicates the work of prosecutors in D.C., Florida and Georgia who are working on the other pending criminal cases he is facing. They will have to go through their cases and determine whether Trump does or does not have immunity related to 54 criminal counts he faces in the three remaining cases. For Jack Smith s two cases federal election interference and classified documents case, they re hurting, but not certainly dead, said Litman. This decision is also impacting Trump s conviction in the New York hush money case. Trump was scheduled to be sentenced on July 11 after being found guilty on 34 criminal charges. But that sentencing is now delayed until Sept. 18 at the earliest. The bulk of the criminal actions in the hush money case did take place before Trump was president, but Litman, who attended parts of the trial, said some of the evidence against Trump is from actions after he became president. Trump s defense team can now potentially argue that evidence should be thrown out because of the court s ruling. I don t think Judge Juan Merchan will credit those arguments enough to say there should be a new trial, Litman said, speaking of the judge in that case. Sponsor Message. Become an NPR sponsor

U.S. Supreme Court rules presidents have absolute immunity for core constitutional powers. Presumption of immunity extended to official acts. Decision complicates pending criminal cases against Trump. Prosecutors must assess immunity for 54 criminal counts. Trump's federal election interference trial delayed, impact on hush money case sentencing. Smith's cases are impacted. Court rules motives irrelevant for prosecution. Trump defense may argue evidence exclusion based on ruling.

Ina statementissued on Independence Day, MEChA, now known as Mecha deTeejop after the Native American HoChunk tribe, said its members would never write nor condone the explicitly antiJewish sentiments of which the group was accused.

The Nigerian ehailing union cannot own ehailing app companies under the law. This was disclosed by Comrade Ibrahim Ayoade, the factional general secretary of Nigeria s ehailing union, the Amalgamated Union of Appbased Transporters of Nigeria AUATON. This is coming in the wake of demands by ehailing drivers that they want to own their apps. Indeed, the Adedamola Adeniranled leadership of the union had said that launching its app is a direction they could explore if app companies like Uber, Bolt and InDrive continue to come up with what they described as unfriendly policies. Aside from the law, Comrade Ayoade also pointed out that the union s constitution also prohibits its leadership from owning app companies. It is important to note that, constitutionally, unions cannot own app companies as we are designated as regulators under the law. Therefore, any claim that a union seeks to own app companies is misleading and not in line with our legal framework and responsibilities as regulators. Unions can t own app companies, as we re legally mandated to act as regulators, not industry players, he said. In a recent chat with Technext, The National Exofficio of the Adedamolaled faction of the union, Joseph Olawale said the cabhailing companies designed the industry to their benefit and dictated the terms of the industry even when they did not own the cars or the financial muscle to provide the volume of vehicles required to power the industry. This, he said, could force the union to level the playing field by launching an app of their own. For AUATON, this might be an option soon if the ridehailing app companies continue to operate unfriendly policies against our members. The app will be a tool for the union members and it s in order if the union decide to have its app, he said. Read the story here:Nigerian drivers union may launch taxihailing app to rival Uber, Bolt and others. Olawale also referred to other countries where drivers developed their apps and competed with the big players: like Uber, Bold, Lyft and others. In December 2020 for instance, a group of New York drivers launched the Drivers Cooperative, an ehailing app company which aimed to give drivers a greater portion of their earnings, have profits redistributed back to them with an annual dividend, and assist them with auto loan refinancing. Called the CoOp Ride app, the ehailing appattracted 40,000 downloadswithin a few months. Its drivers reportedly earn approximately 8 to 10 per cent more than those working for Uber or Lyft, and with 6,000 members it is the largest workerowned cooperative in the US. It is important to note that this group of drivers who created the CoOp Ride app are not unionists. They were a group of drivers who formed a cooperative and developed an app that could give them more control over their earnings and other benefits. But the group calling for creating an app in Nigeria is a union. Indeed, Section 5, subsection C of the union AUATON s constitution says that no elected or paid trade union official or employee or either a trade union shall own or have a substantial interest in any business enterprise with which hisher union bargains collectively or has interests and dealings with or in any other concern which is in competition with such enterprise or has any considerable dealings with. While this effectively prohibits AUATON from owning an ehailing app company, it, however, does not prohibit individual drivers from forming a cooperative or partnering with an existing business to launch an ehailing app. Going by the outcome of New York s Drivers CoOp app, Nigerian drivers might still get what they wanted: more control in deciding fares and reduced commissions.

Nigerian drivers union is prohibited by law and its constitution from owning ehailing app companies. There are discussions within the union about potentially launching their own app to compete with Uber and Bolt. Reference is made to the Drivers Cooperative in New York, where drivers developed their app for better earnings and benefits. While the union in Nigeria is restricted from owning an app, individual drivers could still form cooperatives or partner with existing businesses to launch an ehailing app.

Archaeologists have made a groundbreaking discovery on the island of Cyprus, unearthing a 4,000yearold temple with a mysterious central monolith. This ancient site, found in the BronzeAge settlement of Erimi, is believed to be the oldest sacred space ever discovered on the island. Led by Professor Luca Bombardieri from the University of Siena, the excavation also revealed the skeletal remains of a young woman, suggesting a tale of ancient femicide. This discovery sheds light on the complex and rich lives of the craftsmen who lived four millennia ago. The temple, discovered within a craftsman s workshop complex, is a testament to the ingenuity and spiritual practices of the ancient inhabitants of Cyprus. At the heart of the temple stands a 7.5foottall monolith, which would have been illuminated by a massive brazier day and night. This monolith, central to the temple s design, highlights the significance of the site as a place of worship and ritual. The discovery of the temple within a working environment underscores the integration of daily life and spiritual practices. The craftsmen who built and used this temple lived just a few centuries before the first cities on the island emerged. Their lives were marked by a blend of work and worship, reflecting a complex society with rich cultural traditions. . The temple s construction and the presence of the monolith suggest that it served as a focal point for the community. The brazier s continuous illumination of the monolith would have created a powerful visual and spiritual experience for those who visited the temple. During the excavation, archaeologists uncovered the skeleton of a young woman, estimated to be around 20 years old. Evidence suggests that she was murdered, her skull smashed with a lance or rock, and her body sealed within the temple. This act of sealing her remains, possibly to prevent her spirit from disturbing the living, points to a ritualistic aspect of the crime. The lack of grave goods and the manner of her burial indicate that this was not a typical burial. Instead, it suggests a case of ancient femicide, where the young woman was killed and hidden away. This discovery adds a dark and intriguing layer to the history of the site, revealing the potential for violence and ritualistic practices in ancient Cyprus. The young woman s remains provide valuable insights into the social dynamics and cultural practices of the time. Her death, and the manner in which her body was treated, reflect the complexities of life and death in the Bronze Age. This finding opens up new avenues for understanding the role of women and the nature of violence in ancient societies. The discovery of the temple and the young woman s remains offers a unique glimpse into the lives of the people who lived in Cyprus during the Bronze Age. The temple, with its central monolith and continuous brazier, highlights the importance of religious and spiritual practices in their daily lives. The craftsmen who built and used the temple were part of a sophisticated society with advanced skills and cultural traditions. The presence of the young woman s remains adds a human element to the archaeological findings, reminding us of the individuals who lived and died in this ancient society. Her story, though tragic, provides a deeper understanding of the social and cultural context of the time. This discovery also underscores the importance of ongoing archaeological research in uncovering the secrets of the past. Each new finding adds to our knowledge of ancient civilizations and helps us piece together the complex puzzle of human history. The temple and the young woman s remains are just the latest in a series of discoveries that continue to shed light on the rich and diverse history of Cyprus.

Print. U.S. troops have completed a withdrawal from their base in Niger's capital of Niamey and will fully depart from Agadez in the north before a Sept. 15 deadline set by the country's military rulers, both countries said Sunday. Niger's military leaders scrapped a military cooperation deal with Washington in March, after seizing power in a July 2023 coup. The United States had around 650 soldiers in Niger as part of antijihadist missions in several Sahel nations of West Africa, including a major drone base near Agadez. "The defense ministry of Niger and the U.S. Defense Department announce that the withdrawal of American forces and equipment from the Niamey base 101 is now completed," the two countries said in a statement. A final flight carrying U.S. troops was due to leave Niamey late Sunday. The U.S. presence had stood at around 950 troops, and 766 soldiers have left Niger since the military ordered their departure, AFP learned at a ceremony at the base attended by Niger's army chief of staff Maman Sani Kiaou and US General Kenneth Ekman. "American forces are now going to focus on quitting airbase 201 in Agadez," the statement said, insisting that the withdrawal would be completed by September 15 as planned. Niger had already ordered the withdrawal of troops from France, the former colonial power and traditional security ally, and has strengthened ties with Russia which has provided instructors and equipment. On Saturday, Germany's defense ministry also said it would end operations at its airbase in Niger by August 31 following the breakdown of talks with military leaders. A similar shift has taken place in neighboring Mali and Burkina Faso, which are also ruled by military leaders and faced with violence from jihadist groups.

President Salva Kiir expressed concerns about the country s current health situation and vowed assistance in addressing the issues facing the health sector for better provision of services to the people, according to his office. A statement from the Office of the President said Kiir learned about the status quo after receiving a report from Minister of Health Yolanda Awel Deng on the country s overall health situation. The report emphasizes the importance of proactive measures to prevent the spread of diseases such as cholera, measles, and yellow fever to ensure the wellbeing of all citizens. . Health Minister Awel is said to have stressed the necessity of raising public awareness and educating people about the value of good hygiene and immunization. South Sudan remains prone to disease outbreaks, however, due to the country s weak health and immunization systems, according to the US international development agency USAID. The organization said that poor access to health services due to an acutehealth workforceshortage, inadequate health infrastructure and poor health service utilization, are some of the country s poor health indicators. The 20232024 national budget allocates only 2.1 of the total budget to health, which is far below the recommended level of 15 by the World Health Organization WHO and Abuja Declaration by the African Union Heads of State in order to achieve Universal Health Coverage. Minister Yolanda also informed the President about the impending groundbreaking ceremony for the second phase of the Juba Teaching Hospital building. Furthermore, President Kiir reassured the citizens that his government is committed to tackling the country s health issues and urged everyone to work together to create a healthier and safer nation. .

The Budapest Times. Peter Szijjarto said on Facebook that the situation was getting increasingly severe in the UkraineRussia war, with recent heartbreaking events involving children, and this can be expected to deteriorate further . There are more and more weapons and the war propaganda is getting stronger, with a severe looming danger of escalation, he said. We have been warning of this for weeks. . There s only one solution; there s only one way to stop the senseless destruction and massacre; there s only one way to save people s lives and prevent more severe developments: a ceasefire and peace talks , Szijjarto said. He added that this was the reason why the Hungarian leadership was setting off on a peace mission and paying a visit to Washington, DC. We will represent this stance at the NATO summit: there is no solution on the battlefield, he said. It is impossible to comprehend why they cannot accept this. . Yet, the draft resolutions for the next three days demonstrate a total lack of understanding, with NATO set to launch a mission in support of Ukraine, he said. We will stay out of this; we won t supply weapons, we won t provide troops, and we will not take part in financing, he added. You must belogged into post a comment. . ARCHIV 2007201520152020.

On World Population Day 2024, the top 10 most populated countries will be:The global population has experienced remarkable growth in recent centuries. It was expected to take hundreds of thousands of years to reach 1 billion people; however, within just 200 years, thepopulationgrew to seven times that size. In 2011, theworld s populationreached 7 billion, and projections by the UN suggest that the global population will grow to approximately 8.5 billion by 2030, 9.7 billion by 2050, and 10.9 billion by 2100. Primarily driven by increased life expectancy, changes in fertility rates, urbanisation, and migration, these factors are likely to have widespread implications for generations to come, impacting economic development, employment, income distribution, poverty, and social welfare. Notably, with its population estimated to touch 142.86 crores, marginally ahead of China, India overtook China as theworld s most populous country, according to theUNFPA s State of the World Population Reportin 2023. This was a result of11.1 million deaths and 9 million births in China, marking the second year in which China s total population has been reduced. The UNFPA report indicates that if India s population continues to grow at the current rate of just under one per cent annually, it will double from its current value in the next 75 years. Experts say thatIndia s large population is a result of the population momentum from earlier decades and that the country s population is likely to start its decline closer to 2050. This trend would also apply to the global population, which is currently slightly above 8 billion. However, it is expected that both India s and the world s populations will stabilise long before that. Recognising the growth trends in population, the United Nations Development Programme UNDP emphasised the urgency of global population issues by establishing the Day of the Five Billion in 1987, which they have been observing asWorld Population DayonJuly 11thannually since 1990. World Population Day serves as a platform to raise awareness and address crucial populationrelated challenges, in addition to highlighting the significance of family planning, gender equality, maternal health, and human rights. This year, in 2024, it will fall on aThursdayand will emphasise the theme Investingin data collection is important to understanding problems, tailoring solutions, and driving progress. . On World Population Day, we aim to raise awareness and understanding of global population issues, including demographic trends, growth projections, and their impact on sustainable development.

The global human population surpassed 8.0 billion in midNovember 2022, marking a significant increase from an estimated 2.5 billion people in 1950. This growth includes an additional 1 billion people since 2010 and 2 billion since 1998, according to the UN. Notably, China and India are the most populated countries, each with over 1 billion people, constituting nearly 18 of the world s population. Hence, the UN predicts that the world s population will continue to rise, reaching 9.7 billion in 2050 and potentially peaking at nearly 10.4 billion in the mid2080s, representing an increase of almost 2 billion individuals within the next 30 years.

Former Neuroblastoma UK chair Antonya Cooper is living with incurable cancer herself, and said she expected she "would have to face the consequences" of her admission. Policehave said they are "making enquiries" after a mother told how she gave her cancerstricken son a dose of morphine she believes "did quietly end his life" more than 40 years ago. Hamish Cooper was five years old when he was diagnosed with stage 4 neuroblastoma, a rare childhoodcancer, and seven when he died on December 1, 1981. His mother, Antonya, has told how she "gave him a large dose of morphine" she believes "did quietly end his life". Ms Cooper, a former chair of Neuroblastoma UK, who lives in Abingdon in Oxfordshire, said her young son had been "in a lot of pain" by the end of his life. She toldBBCRadio Oxford: I gave him a large dose of morphine that did quietly end his life.". Thames Valley Policehas confirmed it is "aware of reports relating to an apparent case of assisted dying of a sevenyearold boy in 1981", and has started making enquiries. The service added: "At this early stage, the force is making enquiries into these reports and is not in a position to comment further while these investigations continue.". Speaking about her final moments with her son, Ms Cooper told PA Real Life in May: In the middle of the night, we were by his bedside. He was expressing that he had pain and I said, Would you like me to take the pain away? He said, Yes please, Mama , and so I gave him a dose of morphine sulphate through his Hickman catheter. "We had watched him brave through all that beastly treatment, we had had him for longer than the original prognosis, so the time was right." Euthanasia deliberately ending a person s life to relieve suffering is illegal in England and could be prosecuted as murder or manslaughter. As with all criminal offences, the Crown Prosecution Service CPS must follow the principles set out in the Code for Crown Prosecutors when deciding whether to start or continue a prosecution. Ms Cooper is now living with her own incurable cancer, and has joined the assisted dying clinic Dignitas. She was asked by the BBC whether she understood that she was potentially admitting to manslaughter or murder during the broadcast, to which she replied: Yes. . She told the radio programme: "If they come 43 years after I have allowed Hamish to die peacefully, then I would have to face the consequences. But they would have to be quick, because I m dying too.". Get email updates with the day's biggest stories

Former Neuroblastoma UK chair Antonya Cooper admits to giving morphine to her cancer-stricken son to ease his pain before his death at age seven in 1981. Police are investigating this assisted dying case. Euthanasia is illegal in England, but Cooper, now facing her own incurable cancer, is unapologetic and ready to accept the consequences.

To enjoy additional benefits. Published July 10, 2024 01:14 am IST. Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy felicitates Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu in Hyderabad. Photo Credit: ANI. Themeeting between the Chief Ministers of Telangana and Andhra Pradeshon Saturday was the first step towards improving ties between the two States. Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy and Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu discussed several issues that have strained relations between the two States for more than a decade. The two hourlong meeting comes at a time when opinions on the bifurcation of erstwhile united Andhra Pradesh continue to play a role in the politics of both States. Editorial Renewed hope: On the meeting between the Chief Ministers of Telangana, Andhra Pradesh. The Chief Ministers decided to put in place a threelevel mechanism to resolve the bifurcation issues that arose after the enactment of the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act, 2014, carving out a separate State of Telangana. At the first level is a committee of three officials, each of the rank of Chief Secretary from the two States, who will come up with solutions to pending issues. If some disputes remain unresolved by the bureaucrats, they will be referred to a committee of ministers of the two States. Finally, the most vexatious issues will be referred to the two Chief Ministers. Mr. Reddy and Mr. Naidu also expressed keenness to meet every now and then to ensure that ties between their States grow stronger. They agreed to constitute a committee of senior Indian Police Service officers to check the movement of drugs and narcotics between the two States. They also tentatively reached an agreement on information and intelligencesharing to tackle this problem. Similar meetings have taken place in the past. E.S.L. Narasimhan, as Governor, convened a meeting of former Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao and his Andhra Pradesh counterpart, Mr. Naidu, in 2015 with the objective of thrashing out a solution to bifurcation problems between the two newly formed States. In 2019, too, Mr. Rao met the then Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister, Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy. Following their meeting, the Andhra Pradesh government handed over the buildings in the State Secretariat in its possession to Telangana, paving the way for the construction of the new Secretariat building in Hyderabad. Mr. Rao and Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy met the next year at the same venue in January 2020. They discussed again issues of bifurcation and the modalities to resolve them. But the meeting drew flak from the Opposition Congress later, with the party charging Mr. Rao of allowing Andhra Pradesh to draw more water from the Krishna river than the share allocated to it, at the expense of Telangana s interests. Seen against this background, the meeting of the two Chief Ministers on Saturday assumes greater significance. They are intent on assuaging the hurt feelings of the two sides because of the decisions taken in the past. They have resolved to take concrete steps that will help improve the bond between the two States, said a senior official who participated in the meeting. At a meeting of the Telugu Desam Party TDP s Telangana leaders and cadres on Sunday. Mr. Naidu said that his government would adopt a give and take approach. He said that the TDP government would take decisions factoring in the aspirations of the people of both States. Mr. Naidu told party workers that the persistence of problems between the two States will not accrue any benefits. The two States will suffer if these problems continue . This is why it is imperative for Andhra Pradesh and Telangana to resolve them amicably, he said. We the two Chief Ministers have taken the responsibility, and we will ensure that this happens, he stressed. The meeting and the subsequent statements are welcome. But whether the two Chief Ministers will stick to their resolve is the question. Some issues are particularly sticky for instance, the division of institutions under Schedule IX and X of the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act, watersharing, and the stalemate over power dues payable by one another. The two States have been at loggerheads over these for a long time. While it is a relief to see efforts being made towards establishing cordial ties, intent alone will not suffice. Only patience and persistence can help the two States resolve festering issues and work in the interests of the people. Andhra PradeshTelangana. BACK TO TOP. Terms conditionsInstitutional Subscriber.

Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy and Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu met in Hyderabad to improve ties between their states. They established a three-level mechanism to resolve issues stemming from the bifurcation in 2014. Both leaders expressed eagerness to meet regularly, addressing drug trafficking and improving information sharing. While past efforts have been made, the meeting signifies a commitment to repairing relations and addressing long-standing disputes like water-sharing and power dues.

Democratic President Joe Biden's family has urged him to ignore calls to step aside following his disastrous debate against Republican Donald Trump. He spent Sunday with relatives at a presidential retreat where they encouraged him to keep fighting, according to the BBC's US partner CBS News. Anxiety has gripped sections of his party following a rambling and at times incoherent performance in Atlanta. Polls since then suggest concerns about his age he is 81 have increased. A CBS NewsYouGov poll released on Sunday indicated that 72 of registered voters believe the president does not have the mental and cognitive health to serve as president. Nearly half of Democratic voters said he should step aside. But the message from his campaign team and his family is that he remains the party's best hope to defeat Trump. The family gathering at Camp David in Maryland had been previously scheduled as a photoshoot by celebrity photographer Annie Leibovitz. Mr Biden's wife Jill, his children and grandchildren were among those present. Jill Bidentold Vogue magazinein a phone call from Camp David that they will not let those 90 minutes define the four years he s been president". They would continue fighting, she said, adding that her husband will always do what s best for the country . The encouragement of the family to stay the course was first reported by the New York Times and later confirmed by CBS News. . . Some relatives have reportedly blamed his poor performance on overpreparation by his aides. A person close to Jill Biden told CBS she was not among those criticising his team. Concerns about the age of both candidates Mr Biden is only three years older than Trump who is 78 were present before Thursday's debate. But Mr Biden's weak voice and muddled answers renewed concerns about his candidacy and left some calling for him to step aside. The New York Times editorial boardsaid in an opinion piecethat the "greatest public service Biden can now perform is to announce that he will not continue to run for reelection". Trump was also criticised for his performance he made a number of false assertions including his longheld grievance that the 2020 election was stolen from him. . On Sunday, top Democrats appeared on the morning shows to defend the president. "When you get knocked down, you get back up and you fight harder," said Senator Chris Coons. Maryland congressman Jamie Raskin did entertain the notion that Mr Biden might not be the candidate come the Democratic convention in August when the presidential nominee will be crowned. "Whether he's the candidate or someone else is the candidate, he's going to be the keynote speaker at our convention. He will be the figure that we rally around to move forward," said Mr Raskin. Republicans said the debate showed why Trump was the right choice. "Joe Biden had a disastrous performance, which is why they're talking about replacing him," Republican Senator JD Vance said on Fox News on Sunday. If Mr Biden did step aside, it is possible that the Democratic Party could launch a search for a new candidate in time for the convention but it is not a straightforward process. The missiles will be deployed periodically from 2026 for the first time since the Cold War. The wait could be over by Monday when the Republican convention begins, hints Donald Trump. A growing chorus from the US president's party means he is unlikely to steady his campaign this week and perhaps ever. Several rising stars in the party could enter the 2024 fray if Joe Biden steps aside. A jury will soon retire to deliberate on the charges against the New Jersey Democrat. Copyright 2024 BBC.

Speculation arises about potential new Democratic candidates if Biden steps aside, with the possibility of a search for a replacement before the convention.

For those looking at the unfamiliar byline, you might have realized that I am the newest reporter to join The Squamish Chief team. While change can be a bit intimidating as is trusting your stories with someone new I hope to reassure you that you are in safe hands with me. I ve worked as a journalist in Western Australia since 2021 and have had the privilege to cover a variety of different stories during this time. From heartbreaking tragedies, breaking news, courts and crime to governmental elections, every story has been a learning experience that has moulded me into the reporter I am today; one who is willing to listen to anyone with a story to share. Despite being an Aussie and growing up across the seas, I am actually a dual citizen of Canada, with my mother's side of the family all hailing from Quebec. This might lead to the assumption that I can speak French, to which I would say I can communicate at a basic level but mostly look like a deer in headlights trying to find the words buried in the back of my English mind. I arrived in Canada in August of last year and spent seven months in Quebec amongst family and friends, but the plan was always to find our way to the West Coast. During our winter season in MontTremblant where I found a new love of snowboarding my partner and I bought and renovated a van that has, for the past nine weeks, taken us across the U.S. to Squamish. This was where I got my first taste of mountains the kind where you start to realize just how small you really are when looking up at them from inside a valley. From Yellowstone National Park to the Grand Tetons to Glacier National Park in Montana, I ve found myself falling more and more in love with mountains and all the wildlife North America has to offer. Upon driving into Squamish, I was immediately taken by its beauty and, of course, the Stawamus Chief, which I have already added to the top of my list of hikes to do. Moving forward, I hope you will all feel comfortable reaching out to me with any stories you think the community should know about and, in lieu of that, any recommendations on mustsee things around Squamish that I should check out on my days off.

MOBILE, Ala. WALA Even with lingering doubts about the City Council s willingness to subsidize Amtrak, City Attorney Ricardo Woods said Tuesday that a funding agreement and ground lease allowing for a platform downtown are pretty close. . City Councilman Ben Reynolds, who has been a vocal opponent of using local tax funds to pay for the service between Mobile and New Orleans, asked for an update. Speaking at the agendasetting session before the weekly public council meeting, Reynolds said he and Amtrak lawyers have traded drafts in recent days. Those documents are pretty close to coming to the council, probably closer than they ve been in weeks, he said. And I have had conversations with Amtrak as late as yesterday afternoon at 4 o clock, talking about the changes that we need and what particular clauses the city is going to need and what particular clause the city was going to need and what the funding would look like. So we re pretty close to putting a draft in front of you. . Woods did not detail the specific changes that the city had requested. But Mayor Sandy Stimpson in the past has sought to prohibit Amtrak from operating north of the Arthur R. Outlaw Mobile Convention Center. The current plan is for a train platform to be constructed on the south of the convention center on cityowned land where a parking lot now sits. Amtrak documentsindicate plansfor trains to leave the station each day at 6:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. stopping in four Mississippi cities along the Gulf Coast before arriving in New Orleans. Trains leaving New Orleans would arrive at 11:18 a.m. and 9:14 p.m. Negotiations over the ground lease have dragged on for months. In February, the pacedrew a sharp rebukefrom members of the Surface Transportation Board, which regulates train travel. The funding agreement is more straightforward, although more controversial. Alabama s share of thesubsidy comes to 3.048 millionover three years. Until recently, all of that was to fall on the city of Mobile. Last month, the Alabama Port Authority agreed to pick up 1 million of that cost. Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey also has expressed a willingness to explore options for state funding. Still, three council members haveexpressed skepticismand have voiced particular concern about the financial impact after the first three years, when the port s commitment would end and a federal operating subsidy would begin to diminish. Under the city s government charter, approval is necessary from at least five of the council s seven members. Copyright 2024 WALA. All rights reserved.

A funding agreement and ground lease for an Amtrak platform in Mobile are close, despite doubts. City Council and Amtrak are finalizing details, with plans for daily train departures to New Orleans. Alabama will subsidize $3.048 million over three years, with the city previously shouldering the entire cost. Negotiations continue amidst concern over long-term financial impact and federal subsidies.

The turnout for the presidential election was around 55. Mauritanian President Mohamed Ould Ghazouani has been reelected as head of state following Saturday's national vote, winning comfortably in the first round without the need for a runoff. The electoral commission website shows,externalhe took over 56 of the vote, beating six opposition candidates. In second position was antislavery activist Biram Dah Abeid with 22, while Hamadi Sidi elMokhtar of the Islamist Tewassoul party came third with 13.

President Ghazouani, a former army chief, is credited with establishing stability since his first election five years ago, after decades of political unrest and frequent coups. He has been allies with Western partners such as France and the US, but has also kept ties with juntaled neighbours including Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger, which have pivoted towards Russia in recent years. Mauritania has largely avoided the Islamist insurgencies affecting neighbouring Sahel state. Slavery is still a scourge in the country despite being outlawed, and antislavery activists have faced torture and detention. Thousands of black Mauritanians are enslaved.

He ran for president this year for a third time and alleged there was rigging, saying on Sunday, "we'll not accept these results from the socalled independent electoral commission. We'll use our own electoral commission to proclaim the results". Mr Abeid emerged second in the 2019 elections also won by Mr Ghazouani.

AUSTIN, Texas KEYE As people wait to see whereTropical Storm Berylwill make landfall on the Texas coast, agencies are preparing to assist in the event of a disaster. . "There's gonna be a time where we need help ourselves, and we live by a mantra, if you scratch our back, we scratch yours," Pflugerville Fire Battalion Chief Heath Doyle said. "We know those agencies are gonna become overwhelmed. We'd rather be there to help them, not only them but really the entire state of Texas.". Beryl is expected torestrengthen into a hurricaneon Sunday as it moves to the northwest. There is still forecast uncertainty as to where it will ultimately make landfall along the western Gulf coast. Doyle said Travis County Emergency Services District 2 will be sending a crew south in the event that Beryl makes landfall, in response to a request from the Texas Interstate Mutual Aid System. He said they're sending a fully equipped fire engine, but they're still waiting to see what exactly the mission will be. "If it's a lot of flooding, that's, you know, that's one type of mission that we can perform. Or if it's a lot of structural damage, that's a different type that we can assist with," Doyle said. . Volunteers are preparing too. Out of its hub in San Antonio, the Red Cross is getting ready to send more than 300 volunteers.

People need help at the end of the day," Garza said. "And just being able to just be able to prepare for something like that goes a long way.". The Red Cross said it's in need of volunteers and donations. You can call 1800REDCROSS or text RED CROSS to 90999.

The 19yearold s father Warren Slater, 58, and brother Zak Slater, 23, were seen scanning the small, mountain village of Santiago del Teide on Monday, as the hunt on the Spanish island entered its fourth week. The official search has now been called off, with Warren Slater criticising local police and residents alike for not doing more to help his son, an apprentice bricklayer fromLancashire. On Saturday, Warren, Zak and Jay s mother, Debbie Duncan, took part in an eighthour search in a remote valley in the north of Tenerife, where Jay s phonelast pingedon 17 June. The teenagerwas at the NRG festivalin Plata de las Americas on 16 June before going to an AirBnB in the village of Masca with two men. He left the following morning and appeared to start an 11hour walk back to his apartment in the tourist area of Los Cristianos. Thelast official sighting of himwas by a cafe owner whose brother owns the cottage where his two new acquaintances were staying. She said Jay asked her about bus times before he decided not to wait for two hours for a service. She last saw him walking out of the village while she was in her car. The teenager s final recorded location on his phone was at 8.50am in the Rural de Teno National Park. Manchester Evening Newsreported Warren and Zak were pictured on Monday combing through Santiago del Teide, which is on the outskirts of the park, as the pair widened the boundaries of their search. A grainy CCTV image of someone who was thought to have potentially been Jay was captured in this town earlier in the search. However, the town s mayor, Emilio Navaro, previously said he did not believe the CCTV image was from Santiago del Tiede. Speaking toMailOnlineafter Saturday s search, Warren also spoke of his frustration with the local police, who called off the search operation after emergency workers found nothing in the last search near Masca on Saturday, 29 June. However, Tenerife s Guardia Civil said it was following several lines of investigation last week. The police have also said it will allow search and rescue teams to operate on the island. Jay s family along with volunteers have continued the search and there s also been support from TV investigator Mark WilliamsThomas. More than 50,000 has also been raised through a GoFundMe to support the family in its efforts. Speaking toMailOnline, Warren said: We re going round and round in circles. The Spanish police, you can t go screaming and shouting at them because they don t do anything. If you start screaming and shouting they won t do anything even more. . Jay s uncle, Glen Duncan, has also criticised the police. Speaking toThe Sun, he said: I don t know if they re following up every single lead.

A Deputy General Secretary of the governing New Patriotic Party NPP, Haruna Mohammed, has stated that the flagbearer of the opposition party, John Mahama, did not present any new idea in his media engagement. On July 7, the National Democratic CongressNDC flagbearer held the maiden edition of Mahama Conversations. The event brought together media practitioners from various media houses to listen and interact with him. Mr Mahama, among other things, pledged to ban mining in forest reserves, ensurefiscal disciplineto address exchange rate issues, and support any bill thatimproves Free SHS. The fourhour engagement saw the former President answer key questions from all sectors. However, commenting on the engagement on Joy News Election Brief, Mr Mohammed said these points are not new and merely a repetition of things Mahama has already said. I did not even know that Mr Mahama would be speaking until I was called and informed about this particular discussion. "Lo and behold I went unto the media to search and see whether there is something new that was presented by former president Mahama, and I haven t seen any new thing that was said by him, he said. He argued that Mr Mahama's speech cannot be compared to that of the NPP flagbearer, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia. He stressed that Dr Bawumia has all the solutions to the country's woes. Meanwhile, a political scientist has lauded John Mahama for the initiative. DrKwame AsahAsante has described the initiative as innovative, adding that innovation is essential in the political competition arena, and has the potential to determine who captures political power.

Anything that happens beyond 2 a.m. can seem like a fever dream after a late night of drinking at the bar. Most of my Uber rides have been pretty boring, as they should be. Pick me up, drop me off with little to no chit chat in between. But then the Shrek Uber vehicle comes along and I'm wondering what other odd vehicles are out there that could pick me up someday. TikTok user420blazemeluprecently shared a video of an Uber driving arriving in a vehicle that went allin on a Shrek theme. Here are just a few of the features in this oneofakind ride:. The license plate even says "Shrek 1" on it. It's a Louisiana plate in case you were wondering where to hitch a ride in the Shrek car. The Shrekthemed ride is the creation of Milton Ladner. He is a bit of a Shrek enthusiast who shuttles people around New Orleans. Ladner not only operates what he calls the NOLA Shrek Mobile, but he also cosplays as Shrek, attending various events and conventions. Ladner has continued to add to his Shrek collection in the vehicle over the years. He's also started his own social media accounts dedicated to the effort where he also shares videos of riders belting out Shrekthemed karaoke. "Just trying to bring some happiness into this world a little at a time," Ladner says on his TikTok account. Gallery Credit: Danielle Kootman. Gallery Credit: Jacklyn Krol

ADVERTISEMENT. ADVERTISEMENT. ADVERTISEMENT. DETROIT LAKES After three weeks missing, a longhaired mini dachshund was found in a gravel pit alive and recently groomed. The dachshund named Auggie enjoys country living in rural Frazee, not far from the Silver Lake public access. The 2yearold was known for visits to the neighbors and checking in with the mailman, who often brought him bones. So, when she hadn t been seen for an hour or so, she texted her neighbor. She hadn t seen him either. That was three Sundays ago, Bellefeuille Simon said. But, there was no sign of the purebred's little paw prints. ADVERTISEMENT. Bellefeuille Simon also made several social media posts that included recent pictures of the pup. I had thought, for a minute, that maybe an eagle swooped down, Bellefeuille Simon said. He is little. But, I felt like I would ve found his collar or some indication that something happened. . Through the fear and doubts that followed as the days stretched on, the family continued to search. After about two weeks, Charlette, my 7yearold daughter, asked if she d ever see him again, Bellefeuille Simon recalled. Auggie is her little buddy she dresses him up and gives him rides in her wagon. . Bellefeuille Simon told her daughter to hold onto hope that years sometimes pass before a lost dog is reunited with its family. However, she refused to sit back and simply hope. I was looking at Craigslist and pet sites all the way to Nebraska, she said, noting it was her sister who made her aware that some people may try rehoming a stolen pet to collect a fee. Regardless of the avenue she searched, time continued to tick away and there was no sign of Auggie. ADVERTISEMENT. As hope waned, she reached out to the breeder where she purchased Auggie. I asked if she happened to have any of Auggie s siblings, she said. It turned out the breeder had his sister, and after hearing the story, agreed to part with her. I took my daughter to see the dog, who is named Daisy, and they instantly fell in love, she said, adding when her daughter told Daisy how excited she was for Auggie to be reunited with his sister, it broke her heart. It turned out her daughter's hope was not misplaced. While shopping in Detroit Lakes, Bellefeuille Simon received a screenshot of a post. Someone had found a dog that looked like Auggie. Bellefeuille Simon sent a message to the Detroit Lakes resident who made the post. The person was contacted, but out of town and unavailable for comment. She explained that her husband was at a gravel pit loading up a sidebyside, when a car pulled up, opened a door and left a dog, Bellefeuille Simon said. The gravel pit is about a mile from where Bellefeuille Simon lives. ADVERTISEMENT. The car that dropped Auggie off was described to Bellefeuille Simon as an older model white sedan with a rounded body. The couple in the vehicle were believed to be in their mid20s to early 30s. Bellefeuille Simon was told the man who happened to be at the gravel pit saw the dog and turned off his diesel sidebyside, so as not to scare the pup with the loud noise. The couple posted a picture of the dog on social media. Within a halfhour of the post being made, Bellefeuille Simon was on her way to see if the dog that looked like Auggie was actually him. As she pulled into the good Samaritan's driveway she saw him jumping with excitement, as if he knew he was about to be reunited with his family. His collar and tags were removed, he smelled like he had a bath, his nails had been trimmed and he didn t have any cockleburs, Bellefeuille Simon said, noting those indicators suggest he wasn t wandering in the wild for three weeks. Bellefeuille Simon isn t sure if the people who took Auggie dropped him off because they saw the consistent lost dog posts that she made, or figured out that he had a microchip that would be found when taken to the vet. ADVERTISEMENT. When I suggested to Charlette that maybe we don t need two dogs, she insisted, saying, Mom, they are family! Bellefeuille Simon said. Both Auggie and his sister will likely be provided with tracking devices, Bellefeuille Simon said. We re also looking into an inground fence for the backyard, she said. Losing him was a rough couple of weeks and we don t want to go through that again. . Bellefeuille Simon continues to seek the people who took Auggie and hopes to identify them so they can be held accountable. She asked anyone with leads or video footage to reach out to her on Facebook. She also suggested those purchasing a dog on Facebook ask for vet records, to ensure they aren t purchasing a stolen pet.

A longhaired mini dachshund named Auggie, missing for three weeks, was found alive and recently groomed in a gravel pit near Detroit Lakes. The owner, Bellefeuille Simon, searched tirelessly and found Auggie's sister, Daisy. A good Samaritan posted on social media about finding a dog resembling Auggie, leading to a heartwarming reunion. Auggie was well-cared for during his absence, indicating he may have been dropped off due to consistent lost dog posts or a microchip. Joyfully reunited, Auggie and Daisy will likely be equipped with tracking devices and an inground fence. Simon seeks accountability for those who took Auggie, advising caution when buying pets to prevent acquiring stolen animals.

Even though theCMF Phone 1isn't available in the US through the traditional retail channels, you can pick it up through Nothing's US beta program for just 200. One of the most compelling things about the Phone 1 is its modularity. The back panel is easily removed and replaced, and there's even a place to mount accessories. But now, Nothing is breaking new ground in the smartphone world by opening up the CMF platform to outside designers, and giving them a helping hand. These small phones are bucking the trend. A post from a Nothingcommunity manager on the official CMF forum has released the official physical specifications for its back cover to the community. The idea is to capitalize on the CMF Phone 1's customizability by letting everyone have the numbers to make their own unofficial back panel. And to kickstart things, Nothing has evenreleased an official STL filethat it says is printready. Even though this is more than just about any other smartphone maker is doing, it's not really enough to kickstart a creative revolution. The problem is the STL file. An STL file is basically a collection of 3D Cartesian points that define a bunch of triangles that make up a 3D object. When you download a 3D model from Printables.com or Thingiverse.com, you're downloading an STL file. The issue is that STL files aren't meant to be manipulated, so the model released by Nothing won't help anyone create a modified back panel. For that you'd need a STEP or IGES file, which is essentially a 3D SVG file, and is an industry standard for CAD. We know nothing much about the Nothing Phone 3 right now, but we have some educated guesses. We're not the first to notice this issue, and some replies on the original post are already asking for STEP files, and Nothing's community manager has said he's looking into getting the files. Still, that hasn't stopped people from posting their Blender files and giving them to the community. Forum member3DPrintedCat has already shared six designsand invited others to riff on their work. Other users are sharing their prints in both FDM and resin prints. . Personally, I want to see more of this from smartphone makers. There's already a thriving community of makers creating phone cases with 3D printers, but having official support from the OEM is on another level. If Nothing is serious about supporting this kind of community involvement, I suspect we'll see a proper CAD file soon. But I have a feeling we'll see some new Etsy stores popping up sooner.

Nothing is offering its CMF Phone 1 in the US for $200 through the beta program with its standout feature being modularity. The company has opened up the CMF platform to outside designers and provided an STL file for custom back panels, though it lacks the necessary STEP or IGES file for easier modification. Users are already sharing designs on forums. This move is praised for encouraging community involvement in phone customization.

Published 12:48 pm Sunday, July 7, 2024. ByDoris Maricle. Officials here are considering a proposed rate stabilization program that could save the town money on buying electricity during high peak usage. The goal of the program is to limit the high electricity costs to participating municipalities by relieving spikes on the wholesale side during peak consumptions like extreme cold or heat, according to Louisiana Energy and Power Authority LEPA General Manager Kevin Bihm. Bihm and Assistant General Manager David Bergeron recently presented the program to Welsh officials as a way to help balance the cost of buying electricity through LEPA. The nonprofit agency supplies wholesale power to 19 LEPA member municipalities operating their own independent power systems throughout the state. Mayor Karl Arceneaux said the program is worth considering, but said more discussions are needed before taking any action. Bihm said the rate stabilization program would allow LEPA members to put funds into a bucket during months when wholesale areas are low and to take those funds out of the bucket during high volatility months. The program is currently being piloted in Winnfield but could soon be extended to other LEPA members. Rayne, New Rhodes and St. Martinville are considering similar programs, he said. What was happening is when we had these winter storms, the City of Winnfield s winter peak would be higher than their summer peak, Bihn said. In Louisiana, you know how hot it gets. Everyone peaks in the summer except Winnfield. When they would have these storms, the bills to their constituents would be extremely high. . As a result of the discussions and engagement of a consultant, a rate stabilization program was created to meet the needs of Winnfield based on the previous year s budget, Bihm said. With our budget that is approved, we looked at Winnfield s rates for the following year and that is our baseline, Bihm said. What we do is a plus 5 percent and a negative 5 percent, so we have a 10 percent bandwidth. As long as our rate to them is in the bandwidth, nothing happens. We just bill them inside that bandwidth. . Bihm noted the municipality will be charged the lowest rate in the bandwidth if the charge goes below the 10 percent bandwidth. Any funds charged in addition to what the municipality has to pay is deposited into a separate bucket fund to help offset future spikes in rates, he said. If you put money in the bucket, it stays there anticipating at some point, you will get a higher rate, Bergeron said. It gets applied to the rate then. . In Winnfield s case, Bergeron said the city paid over every month and ended the year with a surplus which it was able to use to bring the wholesale retail rate down when the rates skyrocketed during severe winter weather earlier this year. The surplus helped bring the rate down from 6.8 cents per kilowatt hour to 5.4 cents, he said. As an example, a bill for 2,000 kWh in 2000 would have been 194. 76. With stabiliz.

Officials in Louisiana are considering a rate stabilization program to help municipalities save money on electricity purchases during peak usage. The program aims to prevent spikes in wholesale electricity costs during extreme weather conditions. The initiative, currently piloted in Winnfield, allows city funds to be set aside during low-cost months and used during high-cost periods. Other cities like Rayne, New Rhodes, and St. Martinville are also contemplating similar programs.

The Conservative Party have been mocked by Russian commentators reflecting on the party's crushing defeat to the Labour Party, with several exMPs openly mocked. Russian media has rejoiced at theTories crushing defeat at the polls, as they mocked severalof the outgoing MPswhere were consigned to the dustbin of history". Keir Starmerwill later today enter Number 10 as the UK's new Prime Minister after sweeping to power in a landslide win. In the early hours of this morning he said the country is waking to a sunlight of hope as Labour swept to victory. However, the party s win was seen by Russian media as a victory for the Kremlin as they enjoyed several Tory big hitters being ousted. Among those picked out for ridicule was outgoing defence secretaryGrant Shapps, who lost his seat. Vladimir Kornilov, analyst at state news outletRussiaToday, said: This unbridled antiRussia campaigner nearly burst into tears during the announcement of the election results. It turns out Russophobia is not the decisive factor determining the choice of the British voter. . Follow today's live blog for the latest on the 2024 General Electionhere. A commentator added: Well, now he will have more time for his belovedUkraine. It turns out that the unrestrained fight against Russia does not help in the elections. Good riddance . Kornilov also noted Reform UK leader and Brexitideologue Nigel Farage s arrival as an MP. He added: Let me remind you during the campaign they tried to present him as a Kremlin agent , Putin s poodle , Russian provocateur , enemy of Ukraine ,. . As you can see, this does not interfere with victory. The British Tories have been consigned to the dustbin of history. . If you can't see the poll, clickhere. The Russians believe Sir Keir Starmer s government will probably continue its predecessors' course of Russophobia and escalation of the conflict in Ukraine. Prowar fanatic Alexander Talipov, who runs Telegram channel Crimean Smersh, claimed the election defeat for the Tories came in part because ofRishi Sunak s support for Ukrainian leaderVolodymyr Zelensky. He said in a post: The British are not satisfied with salaries, medicine, prices, the quality of government services and support for Ukraine. . State news agency TASS warned the new Keir Starmer government would not be warmer towards Moscow. They said: No major changes should be expected in the country s foreign policy. All parties presented their electoral programs in midJune and they featured no major differences in positions on, for example, the Ukrainian crisis or relations with Russia. . Liza Gerson British correspondent for Kremlinloyal NTV, owned by GazpromMedia said: It s not that the British adore the left with their relaxed migration policy, high taxes and a wide range of genders and sexualities. It's just that the desire to punish Sunak, his ministers and predecessors is stronger than all other arguments and feelings.Boris Johnsonalone, with his shirt sticking out of his trousers, gives Britons an irresistible urge to vote Green or Purple. . Nikolai Topornin, associate professor of the European Law Department at the Moscow State Institute of International Relations of the Russian Foreign Ministry, said Sunak lacked the charisma and experience to lead Britain on the right path with a firm hand, as Margaret Thatcher did in her time. He is more of a financier than a politician. He added: He made absurd decisions, for example to send refugees to Rwanda. .

An Aboriginal man found guilty of illegally clearing land on a scenic island has appealed the decision saying it his right to do so under native title. Quandamooka elder Darren Burns, who cleared land on south eastQueensland's North Stradbroke Island to build his daughter a house, claims it was a traditional cultural activity as allowed under native title, exempting him from planning laws. He is appealing in District Court a fine of 20,000 imposed byBrisbaneMagistrates Court in February for clearing 2,900sqm of protected vegetation at Point Lookout on North Stradbroke. Redland City Council, who prosecuted Mr Burns for prohibited development, said in a statement it acknowledged and respected the site was under native title but the clearing had still been prohibited. 'Council takes the unlawful clearing of vegetation seriously and will continue to hold all persons accountable for the illegal clearing of vegetation,' a council statement said. Lawyers for Mr Burns argue in his appeal that he was exercising his inherent rights under native title totake natural resources. The appeal claims Magistrate Ross Mack erred in finding it was an illegal development and that Mr Burns was in fact conducting traditional Aboriginal land management practices by burning bushland for revegetation. Quandamooka elder and ranger Darren Burns is appealing a decision he illegally cleared part of Queensland's North Stradbroke Island. Lawyers for Mr Burns have argued that he was conducting traditional Indigenous land management practices. They claim the subsequent regrowth on the area was not challenged in the earlier court hearing. 'The appellant Mr Burns at no time contended that the ultimate construction of the proposed residence and later use of the land was either a traditional Aboriginal cultural activity or in exercise of any native title right which he had,' the appeal documents said. 'He conceded always that he would, after, require approval for any necessary construction but that he had, up until then, engaged in a traditional cultural activity.'. Mr Burns' lawyers have asked for their client to be acquitted or for the court to order a new trial. Mr Burns was fined 20,000 in February for clearing 2900sq m of protected vegetation at Point Lookout pictured. Redland City Council declined to comment to theCourier Mailon the appeal as they said it was before the court. The appeal is set to be heard next month. Published by Associated Newspapers Ltd.

The Sundance Film Festival announced in April it was looking for a new host location for 2027 and beyond. Cities nationwide answered a call for proposals June 21, detailing their plans for hosting the event. Utah is one of a handful of locations that submitted plans. The state proposal is a joint effort involving Park City, the Park City Chamber and Visitors Bureau, Summit County, Salt Lake City, Salt Lake County, Visit Salt Lake and the Utah Film Commission. The team has been fairly secretive about its proposal and the bid process. However, Lindsey Nikola, deputy chief of staff for the Salt Lake City Mayor s Office shared a few more details during the July 2 Salt Lake City Council meeting. She said Sundance is now moving into the third phase of its search. No official timing on feedback for the RFP phase, so we were not sure when we'll hear back from Sundance on this submission, but we anticipate that phase three of this process will include site visits and work groups, Nikola said. The Utah team proposed hosting the festival in both Park City and Salt Lake City, Nikola said, though it s unclear how events would be split up. While Park City has been the primary host of the festival since 1981, the festival wasoriginally held in Salt Lake Cityand the city has continued to host various Sundance screenings since Park City took over. Sundance is expected to choose a festival location for 2027 and beyond by the end of this year or early 2025. Park City will host the 2025 and 2026 Sundance Film Festivals. Atlanta and Boulder, Colorado are among theother communities hoping to host the festival.

Jul 2, 2024. To the editor:. A disgruntled former Saranac Lake village trustee is asking village Mayor Jimmy Williams to resign because Williams does not live in the village. I was going to give that former trustee a pass on this one as my friend Jim Frenette used to say but decided against it. That former trustee is taking a knife to a gunfight. There are others who have served as mayor who did not live in the village but used a political address, as Mayor Williams is doing. Precedent seems to rule in some legal decisions. This is one case that I remember well. Phil Wolff had a big business in the town of North Elba Wolff s Nursery and Floral Company in Ray Brook and a flower shop at 11 Academy Street in Saranac Lake, plus a thriving landscape business. He served respected and reelected as a North Elba Town Magistrate for a long time. Everyone knew he did not live in North Elba. He lived at 1066 Kiwassa Lake Road, Saranac Lake. Maybe Phil slept one night a month in one of his huge greenhouses on his Ray Brook property. So Phil paid a lot of taxes to the town of North Elba. Mayor Williams probably pays more taxes to the village of Saranac Lake than all the other four village trustees combined. In addition, another one of his village activities, with his family, is to sponsor the Turkey Trot every year, which has contributed tens of thousands of dollars for charities in Saranac Lake. Look it up. I can t help but tell about this neat political gambit. In Saranac Lake into the 1960s, one had to be a taxpayerproperty owner to be qualified to run for a seat on the village board. There was a vacant lot in the village that changed hands so many times there must have been a hundred names hanging off the bottom of that property deed. I have to be careful now, my mother must have told me 10,000 times not to exaggerate. I hope the residents of Saranac Lake will support Mayor Williams to continue his good service to Saranac Lake based on the above information. Howard Riley. Harrietstown.

Former Saranac Lake village trustee asks Mayor Williams to resign for not living in the village. However, historical precedents show past officials lived outside the village while still serving.

Pakistan. Imran Khan set to meet 'dissidents' to paper over cracks in embattled party. Former PM downplays fissures within PTI. ISLAMABAD Dunya News Days after differences between multiple factions of the former ruling party Pakistan TehreekeInsaf became stark with open criticism of one and other, party founder Imran Khan, in an apparent attempt to clear the air, denied claims of any cracks in his party. "There are neither major differences among the party leaders nor is there any forward bloc," the former prime minister said. The PTI founder, however, conceded the division within the ranks of the PTI by stating that he would talk to both groups of the party in the upcoming meeting on July 4. Speaking to reporters in a makeshift court inside Adiala Jail, where he and his wife were presented for proceedings in the 190 million corruption reference in which former first lady got bail, he said questions were being asked on transparency of Feb 8 elections in both local and international media, adding that the recent US resolution was a case in point. Asked if he considered the US resolution an 'interference' in internal matters of Pakistan like cipher, he said there was a difference in raising questions on electoral transparency and 'threatening' a regime change. He also lambasted the government for rebuffing the resolution, insisting that it was high time to look inwards instead of pointing fingers at someone. He also took potshots at the government for making people's lives miserable by burdening them with endless taxes. He stressed that only a fresh and transparent election with a trustworthy government backed by public mandate could help turn the corner of the economy, insisting that economy would flounder otherwise.Khan also whined about the treatment meted out to him by saying that former prime minister Nawaz Sharif was allowed to meet party leaders regularly in jail whereas he was not even given a blank paper.

And since we are the commercial, economic, and financial nerve centre of our country, there will always be a need for the Lagos State Government to be pulled here and there by different stakeholders. We have a special space for First Bank because we have identified relationships that have been mutually beneficial. We have had banking relationships over the years, and both the state government and your institution have seen value created. We have seen extreme economic movement. We are building deep, mutually beneficial, transformative relationships. We will continue to nurture the relationship. We will continue to give it its rightful place, and we will continue to ensure that, as fair as we can be, First Bank truly receives a decent amount of our business.

Speaking earlier, Alebiosu said First Bank of Nigeria Limited is ready to partner with the Lagos State Government on infrastructural development. He said: Power infrastructure is important, and we know what happens in Lagos is what everybody in Nigeria copies. So, we look forward to the framework that the Lagos State Government will set up. We are sure that there are so many people in Lagos who want to provide power. Even if Lagos is not setting up any one on its own, we are sure that there are many private investors that will set up massive power projects that will fit into Lagos, and the cost of production will drop. We believe with that, there would be more employment, tax revenue, and many other things. We believe that not only Lagos State but the entire Nigeria will benefit from those projects. There are many special projects the Lagos State Government is doing, and First Bank will continue to support the Lagos State Government to develop the projects. . .

House of Reps PHOTO CREDIT: HouseNGR. A bill to create Etiti State has been introduced on the floor of the House of Representatives and passed for first reading. The bill, sponsored by Amobi Ogah LP, Abia, Miriam Onuoha APC, Imo, Kama Nkemkama LP, Ebonyi, Chinwe Nnabuife YPP, Anambra, and Anayo Onwuegbu LP, Enugu, was introduced on Tuesday during plenary. The constitution alteration bill seeks to carve out a new state from the five Southeast states of Abia, Enugu, Anambra, Ebonyi, and Imo. According to the synopsis of the bill, it seeks to alter three sections of the 1999 constitution. First, to delete the word 36 and replace it with the word 37. Secondly, to insert the word Etiti immediately after Enugu in the list of states contained in the Constitution. It also seeks to alter the listing of local governments according to states and transfer the 11 localgovernmentareas from their current states to the new state. The local governments to be affected are Isuikwuato and UmuNneochi Abia, Orumba North and Orumba South Anambra, Ivo and Ohaozara Ebonyi, Aninri, Agwu and Oji River Enugu, as well as Okigwe and Onuimo Imo. This is not the first time this bill has been introduced on the floor of the House. It was one of the bills introduced in the 8th Assembly but failed to scale the constitutional hurdle.

Meanwhile, there is another bill seeking to create a new state in the Southeast. The bill, sponsored by Ikenga Ugochinyere, aims to create Orlu State from Abia, Imo, and Anambra State. Mr Ugochinyere s bill has polarised the Southeast caucus in the House, with some members openly opposed to the proposed Orlu State. Peter Uzokwe, who represents Nnewi NorthNnewi SouthEkwusigo federal constituency of Anambra State, recently told journalists that Mr Ugochinyere did not consult the caucus before introducing the bill. What my colleague did was to take the Imo map and the Anambra map and start carving out places as he pleases. He did it just to embarrass me because this is my local government. Could he have done that to Nnewi? He dare not. I would have loved him to carve out Nnewi. State creation is a permanent thing that can bring war, that can bring border issues.

DERRY New Hampshire dog owners are being given one last chance by their municipal clerks to register their canines or go to court and pay a fine of up to 50. Since 1891, the state has required the annual licensing of dogs to help protect livestock and game animals, reunite lost dogs with their owners and identify dogs that may carry the rabies virus. By April 30 of each year, dog owners must pay the licensing fee generally less than 10 and provide proof of rabies vaccination. If the fee isn t paid by June 1, there s a late charge of 1, followed by a notice of forfeiture requiring the dog owner to pay the municipal clerk 25 within 15 days. After that, the law states, the case may be disposed of in a district court as a violation with a fine not to exceed 50. . Communities typically send out several reminders after April 30 that the fee is due. As of June 20, with approval from the local executive body, the clerk is required to send out a forfeiture letter. Derry Town Clerk Tina Guilford said that as of the end of May, she had issued 5,927 dog tags, and an estimated 766 dogs remained unlicensed. In an email at the end of June, she said the number of unlicensed dogs had dropped to 628 and that forfeiture letters would be mailed to the owners of those dogs on July 1. In Plymouth, Town Clerk Aimee Lee said she sent out 90plus forfeiture letters on June 26 and 27. Recipients have until Aug. 31 to settle up before being served a summons to appear in court. On June 19, the Berlin City Council unanimously authorized City Clerk Shelli Fortin to send out 168 forfeiture letters. On July 2, Orford Police Chief Jason Bachus, who is also the town s animalcontrol officer, said he knew of no forfeiture letters going out in his community. Whenever he learns of an unlicensed dog, Bachus said, he visits its owner and explains the benefits of licensing. That usually solves the problem, he said. A municipality may seize an unlicensed dog, but Guilford, who is in her third year as town clerk, said that has never happened on her watch and she hopes never will. Municipal clerks are dutybound to obey the doglicensing law, she said. A lot of people will come in after receiving the forfeiture letter and we ll get a couple of phone calls from people whose dog has died but who have ignored all the other notifications from the town. . Guilford said the town does what it can to accommodate dog licensing by opening the process in January and providing online invoicing. The town also operates a reducedcost rabies clinic. Not all Derry dog owners support annual dog licensing, she said. Some call it a tax and others try to circumvent the licensing by claiming their dog has died, only to be undone when their veterinarian files a proof of rabies vaccination with the town. The dog didn t die, they the owner lied and when we reactivate the dog, we also reactivate the fine, too, Guilford said. northcountrynewsunionleader.com. . . Share your opinion with New Hampshire.

That been the secret to success for the Independence Day Parade of Sunday Schools and Churches for generations. It s all about people. People watching people. The 2024 edition relied on the same formula that brings folks out each year even when temperatures soar into the 90 s. The parade was originally founder by a Sunday School teacher, Samuel Lawson, whose descendants still honor their ancestor by taking part in this iconic procession. Lawson organized a picnic and procession of Sunday School students marching through our fair hamlet 193 years ago. .

Of course, the parade has expanded over the years to not only include a representation of churches, but also includes a wide breadth of community organizations, youth performers, bag pipers, musical combos, and veteran s groups. Like all wellorganized events, the 4th of July Parade doesn t purr along each year without a dedicated cast of volunteers pulling strings to create a seamless operation. It s starts with the Parade Officers, the Parade Marshals, and countless volunteers working behind the scenes to make a monumental undertaking seem so effortless. Having a superb and experienced Grand Marshal such as Rev. Michael Talley holding the reins year after year goes a long way in keeping the parade s welloiled machine humming along. The everhumble Rev. Talley would likely disagree as to his importance and cast the spotlight on his Assistant Marshals who do most of the grunt work in bringing the plan to fruition. That dedicated troupe would include Joe D Amore, Chris Hart, Carol Spanenburg, Dr. Ellen Casey Hart, Claire and Ralph Morgan, Susan Weisman, Rebecca Rosenthal, Theresa Remolde and Dan Ferris, Donna Smyth, and Nadine Talley. The illustrious Parade Officers, which include President Linda Marie Bell, VP Kathy Hack, Secretary Claire Morgan, and Treasurer Susan Hart, get another congratulatory pat on the back for working tirelessly behind the scenes, mapping out the logistics and meticulously making sure that all the metaphorical ducks were lined up in a row.

PUNA, Hawaii Island News A 38yearold Pahoa man is facing a slew of charges, including assault, after investigators say he poured gasoline on a teen boy and threatened to set him on fire. On Hawaii Island, an assault suspect is free after posting bail for a violent attack on a teen. The incident happened around 4 p.m. on June 2. The suspect, 38yearold George David Foote Jr., told police there were intruders on his property. The teen told police that after he knocked on the door, Foot came out, threatened him and told him to leave. The teen said Foote then grabbed a small bucket containing what was believed to be gasoline and a torch lighter from his pickup. The teen said he told Foote he just wanted to speak with his mother, but said Foote threatened to douse him with the gasoline and set him on fire. Investigators say Foote called for the victim s mother but she did not come out. That s when he allegedly tossed the liquid on the teen, causing his eyes to burn. The teen said he ran to the road but said he heard Foote behind him trying to light the torch lighter. Police arrested Foote at the scene without incident. The teen was treated at the scene by first responders with the Hawaii Fire Department. On July 4, the Hawai i County Prosecutor s Office charged Foote with firstdegree terroristic threatening, firstdegree attempted assault, seconddegree assault, thirddegree assault, and seconddegree reckless endangering. Foote s bail was set at 24,000 and officials say he has since bonded out of jail. He is scheduled to make his initial court appearance on Aug. 1 in Puna District Court. Do you have a story idea?

oPt. HIGHLIGHTS. SITUATION OVERVIEW AND HUMANITARIAN NEEDS. As of 13 June, at least 37,232 Palestinians were reported killed in the Gaza Strip since the start of hostilities. Up to 70 per cent are reported to be women and children. More than 85,000 Palestinians are reported injured, including at least 12,320 children. As of 12 June, 273 aid workers have been killed. Nearly 3,000 malnourished children who depend on treatment for moderate and severe acute malnutrition have been cut off from access to healthcare facilities in the southern Gaza Strip as the Rafah offensive disconnects them from treatment, putting them at risk of death as hostilities as well as displacement continue. This figure corresponds to around threequarters of the 3,800 children expected to be receiving lifesaving treatment for acute malnutrition in the south ahead of the escalating conflict in Rafah. There is also a concern that more vulnerable children may suffer from malnutrition. Only two stabilization centres to treat severely malnourished children with medical complications are functional across the Gaza Strip as catastrophic hunger grips a significant portion of Gaza s population. As of 30 May, 464 attacks on health were recorded in the Gaza Strip, with only 42 per cent of hospitals partially functional. More than 540,000 girls and women are of reproductive age and need access to appropriate items to support hygiene, health, dignity, and wellbeing. Ongoing fuel shortages and long delays in received supplies impede programme delivery on the ground. The absence of banking services and cash shortages pose significant additional challenges. Frequent interruptions to power supply due to shortage of fuel and to telecommunications disrupt essential services. Since 29 May, operations particularly in Jenin, Tulkarem, Tubas and Jericho governorates in the West Bank resulted in five children killed, and several more injured. Since 7 October, at least 521 Palestinians have been killed in the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem. In the same period, 137 Palestinian children and two Israeli children were killed in conflict related violence. More than 800 children are reported injured. 480 attacks on health care affecting at least 54 health facilities, 20 mobile clinics, and 319 ambulances. Israeli authorities report that approximately 1,200 Israelis and foreign nationals were killed in the attacks of 7 October 2023 and more than 7,500 people reported injured. At least 37 children have been reported killed in Israel. Some 255 people including 36 children were abducted from Israel into the Gaza Strip, of whom 131 were released including 34 children, with very limited information available on the children remaining in captivity. Due to extreme insecurity, as well as limited access to fuel, supplies and cash, the programme implementation is hampered in the Gaza Strip. In addition, increasing breakdown of law and order further complicates the supply and logistics operation. Multiple displacements of the population also significantly impact the effectiveness of humanitarian assistance, especially in the area of Water, Sanitation and Hygiene WASH, for example latrine construction efforts. However, UNICEF continues to deliver to the fullest extent possible and when conditions allow expand programming. oPt. oPt 1 more. oPt 1 more. oPt 1 more. Related Platforms. Other OCHA Services. . .

Thousands of Palestinians have been killed and injured in the Gaza Strip, with a high percentage being women and children. Aid workers have also lost their lives. Malnourished children are cut off from medical facilities, facing imminent risk. Attacks on healthcare and fuel shortages worsen the humanitarian crisis. In the West Bank, conflict-related violence has resulted in numerous deaths and injuries. The situation is dire, with challenges in accessing essential services and providing humanitarian assistance.

The Government s antigang laws are being narrowed so sporting logos aren t banned from public spaces and police can t tell gang members to leave a park for playing music. But the Gang Legislation Amendment Bill is still likely to breach the Bill of Rights Act, including the right to freedom of expression, association and peaceful assembly. That doesn t mean it can t be passed into law, though it would leave it open to legal challenge that, if successful, would require a formal response from Parliament. The bill returned from Parliament s Justice Committee this week, which recommended a number of changes to the main proposals:. The bill would enable a court to issue a nonconsorting order following a serious offence, initially defined as any offence punishable by at least two years in prison. But the committee said this captured lowlevel offences such as drinkdriving, including those not particularly gangrelated . The bill would make it illegal to knowingly display a gang patch in public. It recommended defining a serious offence as one punishable by at least seven years in prison. This would exclude a number of worthy offences so the committee added them, including arson, injuring with intent, assault with a weapon and discharging a firearm to intimidate. On dispersal notices, the committee said the threshold was too low because it could be applied to people playing music in a park. But the recommended threshold a constable s belief that a dispersal notice is necessary to avoid disrupting the activities of other members of the public has been slammed by Labour and Green MPs as so subjective that it could be misused. This is vague and provides little or no guidance to police or the courts as to when a dispersal notice may actually be issued, Labour MPs said in their differing view part of the report. The current list of gangs was also unreliable, they said, meaning that the entire regulatory edifice is built on a shaky foundation . The Greens also opposed the bill, saying the ban on gang patches in public would put police in a dangerous position, while increasing police powers also increased the ways such powers could be misused. There is welldocumented evidence that racial bias continues to influence a wide range of policing decisions in Aotearoa, including in relation to charging discretion. We are deeply concerned with introducing new powers that risk these biases becoming further entrenched in police attitudes and practices, the Greens said in the report. AttorneyGeneral Judith Collins said the antigang legislation was inconsistent with the Bill of Rights Act. Photo Mark Mitchell. AttorneyGeneral Judith Collins said the gang patch ban was inconsistent with the Bill of Rights Act Bora, specifically the freedom of expression, association and peaceful assembly. The proposal for dispersal notices was also inconsistent with the right to peaceful assembly. In her Bora vetting of the bill, she suggested softening those powers, including a more targeted ban when public intimidation was more likely, such as at beaches or playgrounds. An officer could direct the removal of a gang patch in other places if fear and intimidation is likely to occur . There would need to be a convincing reason why less intrusive measures would not achieve the social purpose before a complete ban could be justified, Collins said. Dispersal notices were too great a restriction on one s right to protest peacefully, she added, though this could be mitigated by adding political protests to the list of exempt activities. The committee did not go ahead with Collins suggestions, meaning the Bora issues remain. This doesn t mean the bill cannot progress though following a new law last year, a court might be asked to consider the bill s consistency with the Bora after it becomes law. If a court declared it inconsistent, the Government of the day would be required to refer the matter to a select committee and then provide a formal response after the committee s report. The committee s report follows a scathing report from Ministry of Justice officials, who said there was no evidence the provisions in the bill would work and they could made the gang problem worse. The Government has said it disagreed with this assessment and is going ahead with the policies, which were campaigned on. The bill will now return to the House for its second reading and, with the support of the governing parties, it is expected to become law later this year.

Government is narrowing antigang laws to avoid banning sporting logos in public and restricting police from dispersing gang members playing music in parks. The Gang Legislation Amendment Bill still raises concerns of breaching the Bill of Rights Act despite recommended changes. The bill proposes nonconsorting orders and banning gang patches in public, but the definition of serious offences and dispersal notices' thresholds are contested. AttorneyGeneral Judith Collins has highlighted inconsistencies with the Bill of Rights Act, particularly regarding freedom of expression and peaceful assembly. Despite criticism and doubts about effectiveness from Ministry of Justice officials, the bill is expected to become law later this year.

Anambra State Local Government Service Commission has denied diverting Governor Chukwuma Soludo s N20,000 transport larges intended for 40 workers in each of the 21 local government areas of the State last Tuesday during the opening ceremony of the maiden edition of the Commission s week, held at the Women s Development Centre Awka. The Commission debunked the information in a statement signed and made available to Journalists in Awka, on Monday by its Public Relations Officer, Comrade Agu Chidi. According to Chidi, the allegation was a plot by some enemies of progress to rubbish the monumental achievements in local government reforms, and Zero tolerance to corruption initiated by the Awardwinning; Barrister Vin Ifeanyi Ezeaka, the Chairman of the Commission. He appealed to the public to disregard the social media circulation. The statement read in part; attention of the Anambra State Local Government Service Commission have been drawn to the Spurious and odious misinformation circulating in various electronic and print media to the purported mismanagement of monies given by Mr Governor Prof Charles Chukwuma Soludo as transport fares to LG workers when he attended the opening ceremony of the Anambra State Local Government Service Week; Dora Akunyili Women Development Center, Awka on 25th June 2024.

The Anambra State Local Government Service Commission wishes to set the record straight and to convey to Ndi Anambra and the general public that those allegations are false, devoid of any iota of truth, but simply the handiwork of mischief makers and enemies of Anambra State Government; bent on creating unnecessary tension in the State and whose intent is aimed at rubbishing the monumental achievements in local government reforms, and Zero tolerance to corruption initiated by the Awardwinning; Barrister Vin Ifeanyi Ezeaka. For the sake of clarity, Barrister Vin Ifeanyi Ezeaka never disbursed any money but ordered that the attendees transport fares be shared to all the local Government workers at the Dora Akunyili Women Development Center, as directed by Mr Governor Prof Charles Chukwuma Soludo, and which was carried out with official dispatch in the presence of the Labour Leaders, including the State president of NULGE and all the attendees present at the Hall collected their 20,000 largesse together with their lunch package. Therefore, the Anambra State Local Government Service Commission found it absurd and surprising that some uninformed disgruntled elements and agents of distabilization shall concoct such baseless allegation and lies against the person of Barrister Vin Ifeanyi Ezeaka Esq whose pedigree as an incorruptible personality and his impeccable record of zero tolerance for corruption and other related vices shines as beacon for everyone to behold, the statement concluded. Nigerian Tribune gathered that the reaction was as a result of an allegation level against the Chairman of the State Local Government Service Commission, Barrister Ezeaka, that he diverted the abovementioned fund announced by the governor during the event as some of the workers who also attended the ceremony did not receive the promised fund.

Anambra State Local Government Service Commission denies diverting N20,000 transport allowances for workers during an event. The Commission refutes the allegations as misinformation and clarifies that the funds were distributed per Governor Chukwuma Soludo's directive in the presence of labor leaders. The statement dismisses the claims as baseless and aims to tarnish the reform efforts and anti-corruption stance of Chairman Vin Ifeanyi Ezeaka.

NewsWorld. Police have found the remains of a 12yearold girl who was snatched by a crocodile while swimming in a creek in remote northern Australia. The remains were found in the river system nearwhere the girl vanished at remote town of Palumpa, southwest of the Northern Territory capital Darwin, Police Senior Sergeant Erica Gibson said. Injuries confirmed a crocodile attack, Sgt Gibson said. The recovery has been made. It was particularly gruesome and a sad, devastating outcome," she told reporters. Efforts were continuing to trap the killer crocodile, she said. Saltwater crocodiles are territorial and the killer is likely to remain in nearby waterways. The girl's disappearance had triggered an intense 36hour land, water and air search, with locals in the small indigenous community also volunteering to help with the search. There are more than 100,000 crocodiles which can grow up to 6 metres 20 ft long in the vast Northern Territory, though fatal attacks are relatively rare. The saltwater crocodiles numbers were depleted by hunting, but have since bounced back since the practice was banned in the 1970s. It is the first fatal crocodile attack in the Northern Territory since at least 2018, local media report. Because saltwater crocodiles can live up to 70 years and grow throughout their lives, the proportion of large crocodiles is also rising. A farmer survived a saltwater crocodile attack in November near the state s Finniss River by biting it back in the eyelid to repel the attack.

It is the first fatal crocodile attack in the Northern Territory since 2018.

Share. The New Jersey Democratic power broker charged with racketeering by the state attorney general has pleaded not guilty. FOX 29's Jeff Cole has the full scoop. TRENTON, N.J.The New Jersey Democratic power broker charged with racketeering by the state attorney general pleaded not guilty Tuesdayto chargeshe threatened people whose properties he sought to take over and orchestrated tax incentive legislation to benefit organizations he controlled. George E. Norcross III and four other codefendantsappeared in state Superior Court in Mercer County to enter their pleas in response to Attorney General Matt Platkin's criminal charges unsealed last month. They all pleaded not guilty. George Norcross in a recent interview with FOX 29s Steve Keeley. "My client emphatically states that he is not guilty," Norcoss' attorney Michael Critchley told Judge Peter Warshaw. A sixth codefendant sent a letter to the judge saying his lawyer is currently involved in another trial and hasn t entered a plea yet, Warshaw said. The charges, brought by a Democratic attorney general, against a longtime influential Democrat put the state's dominant political partyunder scrutiny in an election yearand as the state's senior U.S. Sen. Bob Menendezis on trial in New York on unrelated federal bribery charges. In a sign of how contentious the trial could be, the prosecutors and defense attorneys went back and forth Tuesday over nearly 14,000 pages of documents the state has yet to turn over to the defendants as required under the rules. The attorney general's office sought to subject those documents to an order barring their distribution to third parties, like the news media, while the defense argued there shouldn't be any such order. The judge pushed the parties to agree to a temporary order barring the release of those records through Sept. 9 while the parties sort out what should be kept from third parties and what could be passed along. "You can only imagine my enthusiasm for having to serve as a referee for what if any of this discovery should be subjected to a protective order," Warshaw said. Among the items prosecutors have already mentioned in the indictment are recordings, including a profanityladen call of Norcross in which he tells a developer he'll face "enormous consequences." The person asks if Norcross is threatening him, and Norcross responds, "Absolutely," according to the indictment. Defense attorneys said Tuesday they planned to challenge the apparent wiretaps that led to those recordings. Norcross is charged with operating a criminal enterprise over more than a decade, starting in 2012, in which he threatened property owners whose land he sought to acquire, used Camden, New Jersey, city government to acquire land and tailored legislation for tax incentives that benefited companies he controlled. Those allegations have been the subject of investigations for years, with Norcross denying any wrongdoing and praising the good his investments did for the economically hardup city of Camden, across the Delaware River from Philadelphia. He's said the prosecution was politically motivated and without merit. He angrily denounced the charges the day they were unsealed and sat in the front row at the attorney general's news conference. Norcross is a wealthy executive of an insurance firm and, until 2021, a Democratic National Committee member who also contributed financially to state and national Democrats. He s since moved to Palm Beach, Florida, where he had been listed before as a member of Donald Trump s MaraLago club. He s long been a boogeyman of many progressive New Jersey Democrats, who saw him as enriching himself while poorer residents languished. A longtime kingmaker in southern New Jersey, Norcross often wielded influence through back channels. An old friend of the former Senate president and current gubernatorial candidate Steve Sweeney, Norcross played a key role in getting economic tax incentive legislation passed in 2013. His brothers are lobbyist and codefendant Philip Norcross who pleaded not guilty on Tuesday as well and U.S. Rep. Donald Norcross, a former state legislator who is not charged. In addition to the Norcross brothers pleading not guilty, attorney William M. Tambussi; Camden Community Partnership chief executive and former Camden Mayor Dana L. Redd; and development company executive John J. O Donnell have pleaded not guilty. Sidney R. Brown, chief executive of trucking and logistics company NFI, was not in court as his attorney is representing a codefendant in the Menendez trial in New York, according to the judge.

Sunday, July 7, 2024 byCharlotte Gomez. Dr. Yaneidys Barea Gregori, a Cuban physician, tragically passed away frommalariajust days after returning from a medical mission inAngola. This incident has sparked a wave of criticism and raised questions about the efficiency and current state of thehealthcare systemin Cuba. At the age of only 40, after spending 18 months in Africa, Dr. Barea died on July 4th in the province ofLas Tunas. Friends and family are calling for justice, arguing that the protocols failed and the disease could have been treated early and effectively. In a detailed post onFacebook, Juli Elena Jareno shared the specifics of the case, emphasizing that the supposed free healthcare championed by thecommunist regimeis meaningless when it costs innocent lives. Jareno highlighted the lack of medical equipment, inadequate materials, poor facility conditions, and, most importantly, the disinterest and lack of professionalism as evidence that free healthcare in Cuba comes at a very high price. Despite receiving medical attention, the diagnosis and treatment were delayed due to the slow delivery and analysis of critical blood tests. The protocols for treating malaria stress the importance of urgent blood tests to identify the type ofplasmodiumand administer the appropriate treatment. Without these timely tests, the disease progressed and ultimately claimed her life, all while the official press remained silent. This tragic event has left a mother inconsolable, a sister heartbroken, and a family incomplete. No specific blame has been assigned, with justifications ranging from theblockadeto "imperialist schemes.". In a concluding statement, Jareno remarked that the Cuban public healthcare system has shown severe deficiencies in management and professionalism. Among the comments on the post, Somal Gregori, the deceased's aunt, also criticized the handling of the case: "I no longer believe in this Revolution, there are no doctors left, they've all gone," reads one of her remarks. The death of Yaneidys Barea Gregori serves as a new urgent call to improve the management and functioning of the healthcare system in Cuba, as the communist government remains deaf to these pleas and continues to send doctors on missions to various countries around the world. In February, thePedro Kour Institute of Tropical Medicine IPKin Havana confirmed a diagnosis of imported malaria in a Cuban who arrived from an African country at the end of December. However, it wasn't until January 26th that health authorities confirmed the case. The patient, who was not a healthcare worker, arrived on December 24th in Jatibonico, Sancti Sp ritus, also from Angola, according to Dr. Carlos Ruiz Santos, director of the Provincial Center for Hygiene, Epidemiology, and Microbiology in that province, as reported by the official media outlet Escambray. Just over a month after that initial diagnosis, health authorities confirmed a new case inGuant namo, breaking decades of this disease's absence on the island. Epidemiologist and Deputy Director of Epidemiology at the Provincial Center for Hygiene, Epidemiology, and Microbiology in the easternmost province,Leonel Heredia Carpintr , clarified that it was an imported case and that local transmission was not present in the territory, as cited by the official newspaper Venceremos. The recent death of Dr. Yaneidys Barea Gregori has raised significant concerns about the Cuban healthcare system and the handling of malaria cases. Here are some frequently asked questions and their answers to provide more insight into the issue. Dr. Barea Gregori died from malaria shortly after returning from a medical mission in Angola. Delays in diagnosis and treatment, due to slow blood test analysis, contributed to her death. Criticisms include a lack of medical equipment, inadequate materials, poor facility conditions, and a general disinterest and lack of professionalism. These issues highlight severe deficiencies in the healthcare system. The Cuban government has largely ignored these issues, continuing to send doctors on international missions while failing to address the systemic problems within the country's healthcare system. Yes, there have been recent cases of imported malaria in Cuba, including one confirmed in Guant namo, which broke decades of absence of the disease on the island. CubaHeadlines 2024.

The semiconductor industry is recruiting workers in a tight labor market as the competition for talent ramps up and funding from the CHIPS and Science Act designed to spur domestic production continues to be dispersed. 247 New York news stream: Watch NBC 4 free wherever you are. It is also staring down a projected shortfall of as much as one million workers in the broader U.S. economy by 2030 as generative artificial intelligence adds fuel to the indemand sector. The U.S. chips industry is expected face a shortage of 67,000 technicians, computer scientists and engineers by 2030, while the broader U.S. economy is set to have a gap of 1.4 million such workers, according toa 2023 studyfrom the Semiconductor Industry Association. A separate study from Deloitte found the talent crunch in the semiconductor space could get even worse due to the global economic environment and ongoing supply chain issues. GlobalFoundries, thethirdlargest chipmaker globally, is casting a wide net to recruit talent. The company has sought out veteran candidates, along with candidates from its own workforce reentry program and an initiative for women in construction. . The company creates chips for everyday products from electronics and phones to autos, in addition to components for space and defense. Major clients includeGeneral MotorsandLockheed Martin. In 2021, the company launched the sector's first registered apprenticeship program, which is full time and paid with benefits, with training at no cost to the apprentice. It is completed in two years or less, and requires only a high school diploma or equivalent and interest in the mechanical field. Some 50 apprentices have gone through the program so far, the company said. It has recruited graduates with technical associate degrees from regional community colleges and veterans transitioning out of the military for the program. GlobalFoundriesis working to fill hundreds of roles at a time worldwide, and hires thousands annually, a pace it expects to continue, Chief People Officer Pradheepa Raman told CNBC in an interview. Raman said keeping the same size workforce is "not an option" for the industry as demand soars. The needs range from technicians to product managers and corporate roles. "It's why we are very, very aggressive when it comes to our workforce development efforts," Raman said. "And if you're not getting traditional talent, the solution is crosstraining talent, identifying alternate talent pools, people who are doing things in different fields, showing them that this is a very welcoming set of opportunities that exists within the semiconductor industry, is our approach.". Workers also have room for advancement, and training and retaining existing workers is key in this competitive environment. Morgan Woods, 28, started out in Malta, New York, at GlobalFoundries' fab facility as a technician in 2021. Woods has now moved into a training and development analyst role with the company, overseeing training for technicians, engineers and management, plus ensuring compliance. Woods said compliance is crucial as the company expands into the automotive space, working with GM. "As the demand for the microchips increases, we definitely need more manpower to help support the constant rollout of microchips and meeting our daily targets," Woods said. Woods has taken advantage of a benefit from GlobalFoundries launched in May, allowing eligible U.S.based employees and new hires to receive a taxfree lifetime total of 28,500 toward student debt. It includes qualified loans for all degree types and creditbased certificate programs offered by U.S. universities and colleges. So far, the number of applicants has topped 200, exceeding expectations, the company said. Beyond helping to create roles in engineering and computer science, funding from the CHIPS and Science Act will also bolster growth for GlobalFoundries' manufacturing fabs in New York and Vermont. In February, the companyannounced 1.5 billion in plannedCHIPS funding to expand manufacturing capacity. It projects that funding, along with local and state money, will help create some 1,500 manufacturing jobs and 9,000 construction jobs over the lifetime of planned projects. Manufacturing and constructionhave faced worker shortages of their own recently, and aim to lure new and younger hires to the field. "We believe the challenges that we face in recruiting can be solved through an ecosystem approach of workforce development and making our organization one of the best places to work through the benefits offerings that we have been providing," Raman said. . .

The semiconductor industry faces a tight labor market, with a shortage of workers projected to worsen by 2030. GlobalFoundries is actively recruiting talent, including veterans and women, offering apprenticeship programs. The company expects to continue hiring thousands annually to meet increasing demands from clients like GM and Lockheed Martin. The need for technicians, engineers, and corporate roles is driving the industry to focus on workforce development and cross-training talent. Funding from the CHIPS and Science Act will support GlobalFoundries' expansion in New York and Vermont, creating thousands of manufacturing and construction jobs.

Kiwis can look forward to a promising weather outlook for the first week of the school holidays, with a mix of sunny days and chilly nights on the way for most of the country. After a chilly week that saw the coldest morning of the year for parts of the country on Friday, MetService meteorologist Ngaire Wotherspoon said a shift in weather patterns will bring a highpressure ridge across the country from today. A southwesterly flow is bringing showers to southern regions, including Dunedin, and cloud and rain to Auckland and Northland. This flow is expected to ease over the next couple of days and a large highpressure ridge that is expected to stick around for a while moves in, promising more stable conditions. Auckland and Northland are on the edge of it, so they probably will still see a little bit more unsettled weather than everywhere else, but it s still going to be one or two showers or a bit of cloud. . What that means going forward is much lighter winds, opportunities for things to get quite cold overnight, that still situation that you get under a ridge of high pressure is a really good setup for frost and also for fog and low cloud, especially some of those more central areas in the South Island, Wotherspoon said. Despite the potential for fog and frosts, the highpressure system will act as a stabilising force, bringing clear skies and reducing wind speeds, making for pleasant daytime conditions. The lower South Island, which is experiencing clouds, showers, and strong winds today, should see an improvement. A strong wind watch for coastal areas is expected to lift by early afternoon, paving the way for the highpressure ridge to bring finer weather as the week progresses. We re looking at that cloudy, showery stuff easing over the next couple of days, as well as that ridge movement over most of the country, the lower south will probably also be in the fine weather areas eventually. We re just waiting for that current weather to clear out, Wotherspoon said. As the school holidays commence, families planning outdoor activities can look forward to extended periods of sunshine. However, the colder overnight temperatures will bring frost, particularly in central South Island regions, so caution is advised for frosty roads in the mornings.

A former Bibb County Schools administratorEdward Judieavoided jail time after pleading guilty Wednesday to concealing the death of his wife Joyce Judie back in 2019. I wish there was a magic word I could say to make everybody feel better, but I can t, Judge Howard Simms said. Judie who was facing murder charges did not speak during the hearing, but his attorney Gregory Bushway spoke and called Joyce's death a tragedy. . Mr. Judie lost his wife of 24 years, he said. Mr. Judie still prays for Ms. Judie. . Because of his plea, Judie avoided serving any prison time and instead received only 10 years probation, senior Bibb Superior Judge Howard Simms decided. As the state recommended Judie avoid jail time, members of Joyce's family cried in the gallery. In the front row on the state's side was Macon District Attorney Anita Howard, and Joyce's family was behind her. After the decision, Joyce s family read a statement before the judge. Murderers and criminals are supposed to be brought to justice What does that mean for Joyce Judie, they said. Where s the justice for my mother's slaying? . Judie, who served as deputy superintendent of student affairs at Bibb County Schools from 2011 to 2015, was originally indicted on murder charges. Prosecutors argued Judie injected a lethal dose of cocaine into his wife s system. Judie s attorney said there was no proof of that. However, prosecutors filed the lesser charge of concealing his wife s death last Wednesday a week to the day of Judie s guilty plea. In exchange for his guilty plea, prosecutors dropped the other charges against Judie, which included murder and distribution of cocaine. He originally said that he had been drinking with his wife on the night that Joyce died. When his wife stopped responding, he told investigators he went to bed, assuming she was just asleep. The Macon District Attorney's Office said that evidence used to indict Judie had changed, including witness testimony throwing into question who was there at the time of Judie's death. In short, it meant that the evidence was no longer there to prevail had the case gone to trial, prosecutor Michael Parrish said. "We understand that emotions are understandably running high. They the family disagree with our legal analysis of the case," Parrish said. "The evidence we have does not support the charges.". Another person also faces murder charges in Joyce Judie's death. Aliyah Walker was also indicted on felony murder and possession of cocaine with intent to distribute, which Judie was also charged with. She pleaded not guilty in 2022, and according to court records, it is unclear where the case stands at this time. Notifications can be turned off anytime in the browser settings.
