Police re-open fire inquiry 20 years on
The review has been ordered after the Stephen Lawrence case raised questions over the willingness of police to solve violent crimes involving black victims.
Scotland Yard is offering its biggest ever reward - £50,000 - for information about the case.
The fire took hold during a party at a two-storey house in New Cross, south-east London, in January 1981. More than 50 of the 200 guests were still at the party.
The blaze was initially blamed on racists. But this claim was discounted by the police.
An inquest returned open verdicts in the summer of 1983. Two years later the Director of Public Prosecutions announced that the file on the deaths was being closed, saying that there was insufficient evidence to prosecute anyone. The incident has haunted the local black community ever since.
Joan Ruddock, MP for Lewisham and Deptford said: 'It was a time when the National Front was marching in south London and community relations were at an all-time low.
'The pain, distress and anger of survivors and the families of the dead were never publicly acknowledged.
'No one was arrested and an ineffective coroner's inquiry recorded an open verdict.'
Detective Chief Supt Mike Parkes of the Racial and Violent Crimes Task Force said: 'There were people at that party who have never come forward to speak to us.
'Their information could prove crucial to our investigation.'

Now scientists create a sheep that's 15% human
By Claudia Joseph | mailonsunday.co.uk
Chimera: sheep have 15 per cent human cells and 85 per cent animal cells
Scientists have created the world's first human-sheep chimera - which has the body of a sheep and half-human organs.
The sheep have 15 per cent human cells and 85 per cent animal cells - and their evolution brings the prospect of animal organs being transplanted into humans one step closer.
Professor Esmail Zanjani, of the University of Nevada, has spent seven years and Ł5million perfecting the technique, which involves injecting adult human cells into a sheep's foetus.
He has already created a sheep liver which has a large proportion of human cells and eventually hopes to precisely match a sheep to a transplant patient, using their own stem cells to create their own flock of sheep.
The process would involve extracting stem cells from the donor's bone marrow and injecting them into the peritoneum of a sheep's foetus. When the lamb is born, two months later, it would have a liver, heart, lungs and brain that are partly human and available for transplant.
"We would take a couple of ounces of bone marrow cells from the patient,' said Prof Zanjani, whose work is highlighted in a Channel 4 programme tomorrow.
"We would isolate the stem cells from them, inject them into the peritoneum of these animals and then these cells would get distributed throughout the metabolic system into the circulatory system of all the organs in the body. The two ounces of stem cell or bone marrow cell we get would provide enough stem cells to do about ten foetuses. So you don't just have one organ for transplant purposes, you have many available in case the first one fails."
At present 7,168 patients are waiting for an organ transplant in Britain alone, and two thirds of them are expected to die before an organ becomes available.
Scientists at King's College, London, and the North East Stem Cell Institute in Newcastle have now applied to the HFEA, the Government's fertility watchdog, for permission to start work on the chimeras.
But the development is likely to revive criticisms about scientists playing God, with the possibility of silent viruses, which are harmless in animals, being introduced into the human race.
Dr Patrick Dixon, an international lecturer on biological trends, warned: "Many silent viruses could create a biological nightmare in humans. Mutant animal viruses are a real threat, as we have seen with HIV."
Animal rights activists fear that if the cells get mixed together, they could end up with cellular fusion, creating a hybrid which would have the features and characteristics of both man and sheep. But Prof Zanjani said: "Transplanting the cells into foetal sheep at this early stage does not result in fusion at all."

Cincinnati City Council recognized CAA’s Blueprint for Success program for its remarkable success winning a national award for the Greater Cincinnati Home Builders Association (HBA).
Council presented a resolution on May 15, 2013 to Ms. Robinson and to HBA Executive Director Dan Dressman. Also on hand for the presentation were three Blueprint students and Mike Hoffmaster of Maronda Homes.
The HBA has been recognized as having the “Best Community Service Project Conducted” for its Blueprint for Success Program with an Award of Excellence from the Executive Officers Council of the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB).
The partnership pairs young adults engaged in construction careers training with HOMERAMA and CiTiRAMA builders as apprentices. Last year, Blueprint students assisted builders in all aspects of the home construction process from foundation to closing. The HBA also provided guest class instructors, as well as job skills and preparation training.
“We are pleased to have been recognized by City Council, proud of Blueprint for its success and thrilled to be in partnership with the Home Builders Association,” said Ms.Robinson. The Blueprint program is now seen as a national model.

In a report published last week, the Council of Europe’s Group of Experts on Action against Trafficking in Human Beings (GRETA) urged the country to “improve access to legal aid and psychological assistance” for human trafficking victims and “to effectively investigate offences of human trafficking for all forms of exploitation and promote reintegration of victims.”
A total of 68 victims were identified between 2017-2021, two thirds of which were women and girls. While human trafficking can subject its victims to a multitude of inhumane treatments, the prevailing ones here were sexual and labour exploitation.
Female human trafficking victims in particular face severe discrimination from gender stereotypes and patriarchal cultural norms, the report notes. This consequently has an adverse effect on their ability “to gain access to justice on an equal basis with men.”
Survivors can also expect to face stigma, prejudice, and gender-based violence, thereby further isolating them from those whom they are in need of the most.
Regrettably, the report highlights that certain groups of women may have an even slimmer chance of receiving justice should they belong to an ethnic minority or live with a disability.
Those from lower-tiered socio-economic strata may also lack the knowledge of how to pursue legal aid—or even an awareness of their legal rights—due to a lack of education and access to information.
Naturally, financial resources also factor into to what extent one may be able to pay for legal representation, judicial taxes, and child care while in court.
Children were also highlighted as an at-risk group in GRETA's report. Part of how GRETA urged Armenian authorities to better protect children from trafficking included paying particular attention to children from rural areas at risk of child labour, using girls from the Yezidi community (an ethnoreligious minority) and children placed in child-care institutions as examples.
Another recommendation aimed at combatting human trafficking was to enact measures that will lower the population’s poverty rates, as it would provide the parents with more time and resources to attentively watch over their children.
One distinct obstacle Armenian authorities are faced with is their ability to identify human trafficking victims and pursue their captors. GRETA argues that, by and large, “authorities largely relied on trafficking victims to self-identify and failed to detect victims through pro-active investigations.”
As with women, however, all victims were noted to express a degree of distrust towards police and feelings of shame for being a victim in the first place, thereby choosing to remain silent.
This distrust towards the authorities’ ability to deliver them justice can be better understood in the criminal investigations against traffickers. Between 2017 and 2021, “a total of 69 criminal investigations were conducted into human trafficking cases but only 13 cases were brought to trial and just six persons were convicted for trafficking,” the report found.
GRETA concludes its report by recommending that Armenia establish a bureau dedicated to monitoring human trafficking activities, as well as urging the country’s authorities to guarantee legal assistance to victims as soon as they have been properly identified as such.

Committee formed to ensure Cape Cod counts in 2020
Hard-to-count populations the focus of September training
With less than a year before the 2020 Federal Census, the Cape Cod Commission has partnered with the Town of Barnstable and Barnstable County to increase awareness about the importance of responding to the 2020 Federal Census.
A Cape-wide training facilitated by Regional Office of the U.S. Census and staff from the Massachusetts Secretary of the Commonwealth will be held at 11:00 AM on September 11, 2019 at Barnstable Town Hall in Hyannis. This training will provide an overview of the Census process, methods for communicating and sharing information, and ways to promote participation. It is intended for municipal leaders and staff, along with non-profits connected to hard-to–count populations.
Hard-to-count populations include young children, seniors, snowbirds, racial and ethnic minorities, non-English speakers, those with low incomes, those experiencing homelessness, and those who do not live in traditional housing.
Barnstable Town Manager Mark Ells, County Administrator Jack Yunits, and Commission Executive Director Kristy Senatori serve as co-chairs of the Cape Cod Complete Count Committee, which kicked off during this year’s OneCape Summit, held in July. This volunteer advisory committee represents a broad cross-section of Cape residents and brings together those best suited to reach traditionally hard-to-count populations.
“The importance of a complete and accurate count can't be overstated,” Senatori said. “The Commission depends on data from the Census to better understand who our residents are, and the challenges and opportunities they experience.”
Data collected through the 2020 Census will set more than just population estimates for the next 10 years. It will serve as the basis for elected representation, federal and state funding formulas and program eligibility.

As with every story written with dust upon the air, I have come to understand why I have experienced the following during the past forty plus years of aimless wandering throughout the Earth: the suffering for the longing of a family that existed in a state of phantasmagoria. The abrupt severance from friends, love interests and anything that infused even the most vaporous form of solace, belonging and extraordinarity to an otherwise ordinary life. Thus, I felt impelled to create worlds of fantasy in order to assuage an imperious thirst for love in the solitary and abstruse corners of my imagination.
I felt protected, validated and understood in there; I felt supported and encouraged to fulfill whatever dreams I could ideate for and by myself, realizing that the realm of abstracta was the only possible world for me, for I was never truly meant for anything particularly memorable in that of concreta, but to simply be content with being a sort of boulevardier in a world where materialism seemed the only thing that mattered. It wasn’t for me to participate, to be a protagonist. It wasn’t for me to be one of them, they who hold the metaphysical answers to any inquietudes formulated in the most baroque departments of the brain. It was not for me to be an instrument, a willing agent for the healing of the world I so predicated and strived to embody. No responsibility was ever bestowed upon me, no banner was entrusted for me to hold as a beacon of hope for others. No ineffable, inexorable answers or secrets confided or imparted. There was no need for me to change the world as I was born to be merely an anecdote, a visual recorder of the comings and goings of the human race, in the temporality of life as a simple passerby.
Then, fiat lux.
The light from a lighthouse, beaming fulgorously from a distance in a night pregnant with mist. That light escorted me back to the beginning, the trans-temporal moment when all that is began to exist, as the Ancient of Days relieved me of my futility and presented me with heavy parchments, ancient scrolls that concealed all the knowledge physicality can contain. A persuasive voice speaks into my heart, it says:
“son of man, ask, truly ask. Get lost, truly lost. It is not for the worthy that these scrolls are opened, but for anyone who seeks to know as they are known”.
I was then entrusted with the words that unlocked the slavery of the entire human race. It was then that my eyes were opened, and so I came to understand that though my wandering had led me far, it was not so far from the reach of the light that I should be lost in perpetuity.
Yea, I see my brothers. Yea, I see my fathers, my sisters and my mothers; I shall go to them and bid them take their place among the living at the supper table of the Lamb, in the kingdom of God, forever.
- Soli Deo Gloria

In the world of penny stocks, you’re sure to find oodles of great, unknown companies to invest in. But there are also penny stock scams designed to bilk hard-earned cash from investors. And usually you’ll know its hit you after you’ve watched your investment evaporate into thin air!
We know what to look for, and tell you who’s out there pumping stocks using paid promoters.
It’s our job to expose penny stock pump and dump scams…
And we take real pleasure in putting the smackdown on the latest penny stock pump and dump scams.
As you read, you’ll see the big red flags we’ve come across on these companies. And with all the great penny stocks out there… there’s no reason to put a single dime into any of these companies!
This week, we’re exposing a pump and dump scams on: Pan Global, PGLO
The pumpers are really trying to real you in on this bad boy…
They’re so desperate, they’re using shoddy technical analysis to get unsuspecting sheep sucked into buying this stock. But I pulled up the 6 month chart on this dog, so take a look-
Boy that certainly looks like a reel “technical” winner of a stock- in their dreams that is!
Obviously, a shoddy stock chart isn’t all we want to make you aware of before you buy this penny stock. Here’s the rest…
Red Flag #1: Paid PUMP!
007 Stockchat was paid more than once to pump PGLO, but in their latest promotion they were paid $10,000 to push this company’s stock… and $13K in previous paid pumps!
Here’s the details from the disclaimer for you to read-
Currently Global Oasis Group, Inc is being compensated ten thousand dollars from AA Capital, LLC (a non-affiliated third party) for PGLO advertising and promotional services.
Red Flag #2: All Talk, No Action
When a paid stock promoter’s best weapon is telling you how “bullish” a stock is, or how it’s “set to explode”- and they can’t back it up with company performance… that’s a telltale sign to run the other way. But for PGLO, I dug into their latest financials and found enough reason to completely ignore this stock and leave it for dead.
Here’s the deal…
- $50K in cash on hand, $111K in current assets- but $1M in liablilities
- $0 revenue over the past two years of reporting
- Fourth quarter loss of $153K in 2013 – as PGLO isn’t making money
If you need more than what I’ve laid out for you so far to avoid buying this stock- then go right ahead… nothing’s stopping you. And best of luck with that- let me know it turns out!
For the rest of my smart readers, you know PGLO is a disaster waiting to happen for your portfolio.
The Wrap Up:
Too many investors get sucked into these nightmare penny stocks scams. They fall for the overly optimistic projections the paid promoters are selling. In the search of easy money, investors lose sight of what a real return should be… and end up holding the bag.
When investing in pumped penny stocks, it’s the ultimate case of “let the buyer beware!”

INTELLIGENCE agencies should get involved in the investigation into the leak of CCTV footage from Matt Hancock’s office, a senior Tory MP has said.
Jeremy Hunt, former health secretary, said it was concerning that the video footage of Mr Hancock in a romantic embrace with an aide was recorded and leaked to the media, without Mr Hancock even knowing there was a camera in his office.
The CCTV camera is clearly visible from the roof of the office in Whitehall, close to the main door, however it is reported that the former health chief was unaware of its presence or that he was being recorded.
Labour has insisted the UK Government must now review Whitehall security entirely, and say it presents a risk to national security.
Mr Hunt has suggested that MI5 should be involved in a probe, which Northern Ireland secretary Brandon Lewis confirmed was now being undertaken by the Department of Health.
Speaking on the Andrew Marr Show this morning, Mr Hunt said it was “completely unacceptable from a security point of view that ministers are being filmed inside their own offices without their knowledge” adding the issue would be something “our intelligence agencies will want to look at very, very carefully”.
He also suggested the person who leaked the material could have broken the Official Secrets Act by doing so, adding: “We have, rightly, in this country as a democracy and as an open society, protection for whistle-blowers who find things out and release them in the public interest, and we don’t want to undermine that.
“It’s a very important part of how we work. But I do think we need to understand how this happened and to make sure that ministers are secure in their offices to be able to have conversations that they know aren’t going to be leaked to hostile powers.”

Background: In India, a parliamentary commission of inquiry has inspected the city Meerut where communal riots resulted in 16 deaths over a 48-hour period starting on October 1. The clashes, between Hindu and Moslem groups, broke out after a quarrel over a building which both sides regarded as sacred. Home-made hand grenades, acid bombs and rifles were used as people were attacked in the streets and shops set on fire. Two thousand extra police were rushed to the city, 75 kilometres (45 miles) north-east of the capital Delhi. Some of the dead were killed during exchanges with the police. The parliamentarians heard eye-witness accounts of the riots and inspected damaged properties. They saw at first hand the evident axiety of the city's inhabitants. Twenty-eight people have died in communal clashes in Meerut since the start of September. Part of the city is still under curfew and several shops remain shuttered up. The heavily-armed extra police units have stayed on in the city to guard against any further outbreak of violence. Meerut is a town of 400,000 people with a troubled history of communal relations in recent years. And it was here that there Indian Mutiny against British rule broke out in 1857.

- Sublimation is a process of transferring prints from the solid to the gaseous state, without going through the liquid state, using sublimatic ink and heat;
- Sublimation is applied in the customization of various products, such as t-shirts, caps and pillows, providing vivid and lasting colors;
- To obtain the expected results, it is necessary to use polyester fabrics or fabrics with a high percentage of polyester, in addition to correctly adjusting the pressure and pressing time in the thermal machine;
- Additional precautions include cleaning and preparing the heat press, protecting unprinted areas, properly storing the sublimation paper, and performing tests and samples before large-scale production.
If you want to work with personalized clothing sales, knowing what sublimation is might be interesting for you. This is because this technique is intended to print shirts and other types of materials using an inkjet printer or a thermal press. As we provide the service of sublimation printing in Dallas, so in the following article you will get the detailed information.
Sublimation is applied using sublimation ink. This ink is deposited on a sublimatic paper through a printer. After drying, the paper is ready to be used in a thermal press together with the fabric or material to be printed, such as shirts, cushions, caps, towels, among others.
This is a tool that is widely used to create and market products, since sublimation allows clothes to have bright and durable prints .
Therefore, if you want to understand more about sublimation in order to expand your company’s market, continue reading this article!
What is sublimation?
Sublimation is a printing method that transfers a design onto a material or fabric using ink and heat. Basically, this is a great process that allows for vibrant, colorful, complete, and durable prints on t-shirts.
Sublimation occurs when sublimation paper, with dry ink, is subjected to a temperature of approximately 185°C. In the heat, the paint particles turn into a gas and penetrate the fabric, adhering to it.
The result is a bright print with vivid colors , giving the impression that the fabric was produced with that color or print.
This method offers a high level of customization, and the investment in equipment is relatively low compared to other methods such as screen printing.
It is possible to customize a single piece and still make a profit from it. For this reason, many people are investing in sublimation as a promising business, allowing the customization of a wide variety of products – mainly T-shirts.
How does sublimation work?
Generally speaking, sublimation is a chemical process in which a solid turns into a gas without going through the liquid stage. In the same way, in the case of sublimation, the ink printed on specific paper turns into gas, which melts into the fabric. As a result, you have a printed T-shirt in a few seconds .
However, it is important to follow the manufacturer’s instructions for the equipment and products used, as specific configurations may vary. Also, remember that sublimation only works on fabrics that contain polyester in their composition, as it is the polyester fiber that allows sublimation ink to adhere.
Briefly, the sublimation process works like this:
- A drawing is created and printed on special paper;
- The design is fused with a special T-shirt by means of the heat machine;
- The shirt is printed without cracks and in bright colors.
Here’s how these steps work in practice:
First, the desired drawing is created. This can be done manually or using graphic design software. The most important thing is that the artwork is original , so that your business does not face copyright issues.
The design is printed on a special sublimation paper using a dedicated sublimation printer. Sublimation paper has a coated layer that allows the ink to transfer onto the fabric during the sublimation process.
In addition, it is important to emphasize that the chosen paints need to be suitable for this purpose, so you will get vibrant and durable colors.
Before sublimation, the T-shirt needs to go through a pre-treatment process . Remember that sublimation works best on polyester fabrics or fabrics with a high percentage of polyester in their composition.
Fabric treatment involves applying a pre-treatment spray over the area where the print will be transferred. This process helps to improve the adhesion of the sublimatic ink on the surface.
The heat press must be set to the proper temperature and time for the sublimation process. Generally, the temperature varies between 180°C and 210°C, depending on the type of ink and fabric used.
T-shirt and paper positioning
The T-shirt is placed in the heat press, and the printed sublimation paper is positioned with the design facing the fabric. It’s important to make sure the paper is aligned well and there is no gap between the paper and the shirt.
The heat press is closed, applying pressure on the T-shirt and sublimation paper for about 30 seconds. The heat from the press causes the ink to evaporate and turn into gas. The gas, in turn, penetrates the fibers of the fabric and solidifies again, permanently fixing itself in it.
Cooling and finishing
After adequate transfer time, the heat press is opened and the T-shirt is cooled so that the ink completely solidifies on the fabric. Then the sublimation paper is carefully removed, revealing the design transferred onto the t-shirt. To ensure full ink transfer, it’s important to remove the paper while it’s still hot .
Finally, the print will already be transferred to the shirt, which can be folded and packaged for sale.

What equipment is needed for sublimation?
To start working with sublimation, you will basically need a computer, a sublimation printer and a thermal press . Of course, a stock of good quality T-shirts is also needed for the service to go as planned and please customers.
What are the advantages of sublimation?
As seen throughout the article, sublimation is a perfect technique for those who want to sell quality printed T-shirts. Although we have mentioned some benefits of the resource in this text, check out, below, other advantages of adhering to the technique:
- Provides vibrant colors;
- Soft touch on the shirts;
- Prints without cracks;
- You can add endless elements on the T-shirt, such as rhinestones , sparkles and others;
- Printed T-shirts never go out of style.
What precautions to take during T-shirt sublimation?
T-shirt sublimation offers a wide range of customization possibilities , allowing you to create unique and vibrant prints. However, it is essential to practice, adjust the temperature and time settings of the heat press, and experiment with different art, fabric, and ink combinations to get the best results.
Check out some additional information about sublimation of t-shirts below :
Sublimation works best on light colored T-shirts as the sublimation dye is transparent and does not completely cover the color of the fabric. Light colors such as white or pastel tones provide a more vibrant result.
However, it is possible to sublimate dark colored T-shirts, but the print will have a softer, more translucent effect.
Decide if you want to print only on the front of the shirt, or if you also want to print on the back, sleeves, or other areas. Be sure to properly position the shirt in the heat press to ensure the print is aligned to your preference.
details and seams
Please note that sublimation is not able to print directly on areas where there are seams, such as collars and sleeves . These areas may be blank or have a partial transfer.
Therefore, it is important to adjust the artwork and placement of the print to avoid problems in areas where there are seams.
Quantity of t-shirts
Sublimation is suitable for both small-scale and large-scale production. You can customize a single shirt or carry out mass productions, depending on your needs and your available equipment.
Before starting sublimation, make sure the heat press is clean and free of ink or paper residue. Clean the press plates and check for dirt or obstructions that could affect print quality.
The pressure applied by the heat press is crucial for proper ink transfer. Make sure the pressure is set correctly according to the type of T-shirt and sublimation paper used.
Insufficient pressure can result in a poor print , while excessive pressure can cause image distortions or fabric damage .
In addition to temperature, pressing time is also important. Follow the sublimation paper and ink manufacturer’s instructions to determine the optimal pressing time.
Too little time can result in incomplete ink transfer, while too much time can lead to ink or fabric burn-in.
Non-stamped area protection
If you are only printing a specific part of the shirt, such as the front, protect the unwanted areas with thermal paper or teflon film . This prevents sublimation ink from accidentally transferring to other parts of the shirt.
Sublimation paper is sensitive to moisture and heat . Keep it stored in a dry and cool place, away from direct sunlight. Avoid bending the paper, as this can cause unwanted marks on the print.
Before carrying out large-scale production, test samples to check print quality and adjust settings if necessary. This avoids problems throughout production and ensures a satisfactory end result.
After sublimation is complete, allow the shirt to cool completely before handling or packaging. This prevents damage to the newly transferred stamp. Also, it is recommended to wash the sublimated shirt separately before wearing or selling it to remove any loose ink residue.
By following all these precautions during the t-shirt sublimation process, you will guarantee high quality prints, durability and customer satisfaction . Remember to read and follow the manufacturer’s specific instructions for the equipment, ink, and sublimation paper you are using.


Dafran lashed out at Hyp after the Frenchman's team had been given a one map advantage for dafran's team missing the game's start time.
The popular Danish VALORANT streamer and ex-Overwatch pro player Daniel "dafran" Francesca has been hit with a lifetime ban from all tournaments organised by Solary, a french organisation with teams and tournaments in multiple games. Dafran has a long history of bad behaviour in other games, and while he has shown signs in the past of being reformed to some degree, and even good sportsmanship during his brief stint in the Overwatch League, this incident seems to have brought out some of his past aggression.
In a tweet the tournament organizer cites “disrespectful remarks” that dafran made towards Damien "HyP" Souville, another ex-pro from Overwatch, and his team in the Solary Tournament. Dafran was streaming his perspective for the tournament at the time, and the remarks that have since been clipped by the community include a whisper directly to Hyp saying “f**k your mom” and him also commenting that “they are p*****s too scared to play”. Dafran also lashed out against the organiser directly, saying that “the Solary Tournament is a d*****t tournament, everyone knows that now”.
The altercation started when dafran’s team, Prodigy, was more than 40 minutes late to a semi-final match against Hyp’s team.
They took action by conferring with Solary to make sure Prodigy started down one map, to which dafran responded with the initial offensive whisper to Hyp in the VALORANT game client. Another Prodigy player, m1xwell, stated on stream that “we were late, we didn't know, because nobody told us. The other team was tweeting out that we were late, and people don’t respect the time, and s**t, and we’re one map down … and dafran just, didn’t wanna play, because if we’re one map down, it’s f*****g absurd, and s**t”. In response to dafran’s lashing out against Hyp, Solary informed the team privately that they could play a rescheduled game with the map disadvantage, but because of dafran’s comment, he could not play with the team, and they would have to find a substitute. Hours later, after waiting in the game lobby appealing this decision, Solary released the above statement on twitter, making their ruling public and official. Dafran responded by doubling down on the vitriol, condemning the organisation, and personally insulting Hyp and his entire team again:
On stream, dafran fired off more strong remarks that indicated his distaste towards Hyp’s team refusing to play against him, saying that they are “too scared”. His remarks then devolved into additional personal insults against Hyp directly, stating that “if Hyp actually does this, he will forever be known as a b***h. If he goes against me, and wins, he will gain respect. He’s too small-brained, he’s an idiot, he’s washed up, he has no IQ, he’s actually just stupid, and he’s a trash dude. He had to retire from Overwatch League because he’s bad, and he comes to VALORANT and he’s bad here too”. Among these remarks it became clear that dafran took the accusation of lateness against his team to be fraudulent and cowardly, made so that Hyp’s team would not have to face him in the tournament. He mentioned that Hyp’s accusation revolved around Prodigy being late “because [he] had to go eat dinner, but actually [he’s] just being a f*****g b***h, and [doesn't] want to play against [us]”.
As of writing this article, neither Hyp nor Solary have responded to requests for comment on the situation. It is unclear how the tournament will conclude, if Prodigy will play without dafran, or if he will face repercussions among other tournament organisers too.
GGRecon will update the story as it develops.

Need to solve inland rail's 'missing link' says Port of Brisbane
No environmental impact study will be carried out into the crucial Beaudesert (Kagaru) to Acacia Ridge leg of the federal government’s $14.5 billion, 1700-kilometre Melbourne to Brisbane Inland Rail project.
Instead, Queensland’s Department of Transport and Main Roads will consult the community over the rail section.
Residents Against Inland Rail – the Queensland group opposing the link from Kagaru, south-east of Brisbane, to Acacia Ridge in Brisbane’s south – say 50,000 “forgotten residents” are being snubbed.
Spokeswoman Suz Corbett said under the project, the number of trains will increase from eight a day (six freight trains and two passenger trains between Sydney and Brisbane) to 45 double-stacked freight trains that could be up to 1.8 kilometres long.
“We demand to know the reasons that our Kagaru to Acacia Ridge and Bromelton section – with over 50,000 forgotten residents – have been refused this environmental impact study,” she said.
Husband Stan Corbett said the impact on residents must be considered.
“They are planning to increase the number of trains to 45 a day. That is a huge material change of use. It is just a huge change,” he said.
Inland Rail is primarily a $15 billion project to make it more efficient to shift domestic freight – white goods, groceries, hardware, agriculture for local markets – between Brisbane and Melbourne.
However, there is still no link to the Port of Brisbane, despite an options study being completed for 16 months. There is also, as yet, no confirmed link to the Port of Melbourne.

The Accra-based club have had an awesome start to the commencement of the 2020/21 Ghana Premier League after they stunned title favourites Medeama with a 1-1 draw at the Akoon park on matcg day one and followed it up with a three-nil resounding victory over Legon Cities.
They were billed to play Kumasi-based heavyweights Asante Kotoko on match week three but due to the latter’s continental assignment their game was postponed.
The Blue and Whites will cross swords with Ebusua Dwarfs on Saturday as they seek to maintain their unbeaten run to the season.

After winning in court Amber Heard, Johnny Depp, will direct a film for the first time in his 25-year career, it will be Modigliani, based on the artist’s story.
The actor will return behind the camera for “Modigliani,” a biographical drama about Italian artist Amedeo Modigliani. Al Pacino is producing the film along with Barry Navidi. IN.2, the European arm of production company Infinitum Nihil, is backing the film.
Based on Dennis McIntyre’s play of the same name and adapted for the screen by Jerzy and Mary Kromolowski, “Modigliani” takes place in 1916 Paris and tells the story of Italian painter and sculptor Amedeo Modigliani. According to the film’s release, Modigliani, “long considered a critical and commercial failure by himself, navigates a turbulent and eventful 48 hours that will become a turning point in his life, ultimately solidifying his reputation as artistic legend.
“The saga of the life of Mr. Modigliani is one that I am incredibly honored, and truly humbled, to bring to the screen,” Depp said in a statement. “It was a life of great hardship but eventual triumph, a universally human story that all viewers can relate to.”


If you’re purchasing from a big-box store, you can expect to pay approximately $120-$1,000 for a window unit. Window units are appealing for their quick setup and relatively low cost, but they can use more energy over time than central air and only cool the room in which they’re installed. The price will vary depending on the type of air conditioner you buy and its cooling capacity. Window units, which require minimal installation, are one of the most affordable options on the market. Portable air conditioners don’t have the cooling power of a window unit, but they do have the perk of being transportable from room to room. Expect to pay between $225 and $800 for a portable air conditioner, on average. The cost of an air conditioning system with coils, condenser and line (not including installation or ductwork) can range from approximately $2,000 to $4,000 or more. If you don’t have (and don’t want to put in) ducts, a ductless mini-split air conditioner is a good option, although pricey up front. Pricing can range from $650 to $4,250 per unit on average; you’ll need one unit for each room in which you want temperature control.
An important component of natural ventilation is air change rate or air changes per hour: the hourly rate of ventilation divided by the volume of the space. For example, six air changes per hour means an amount of new air, equal to the volume of the space, is added every ten minutes. For human comfort, a minimum of four air changes per hour is typical, though warehouses might have only two. Too high of an air change rate may be uncomfortable, akin to a wind tunnel which have thousands of changes per hour. The highest air change rates are for crowded spaces, bars, night clubs, commercial kitchens at around 30 to 50 air changes per hour.
7 To test it, turn the thermostat to OFF, reset the power at the disconnect next to the compressor and the main panel. Set the thermostat to a temperature below the room temperature, and then switch it ON. To avoid straining an air conditioner’s compressor, wait at least five minutes between turning it off at the thermostat and turning it back on. You should hear the outdoor compressor run and see the fan turning inside the top. If the fan isn’t turning, look for an overload button or switch to reset (not all types have this).
Indoor Fan Motor -- Indoor fans circulate the air from your house and through the system. Age and dust buildup are the two biggest contributing factors to their failure. When they are starting to fail they will often make noise. Failure of the fan will result in no heating or cooling, and if it is not repaired soon, it can cause other components to fail.
A little simple math can help determine the size system you need. A rule of thumb is 20 BTUs per square foot. So, a 500 square foot room would need 10,000 BTUs to cool or warm it efficiently. This assumes that you live in a temperate region and have adequate insulation with no energy loss. In the real world, all units have some degree of energy loss. This is reflected in an HVAC system's SEER rating for cooling and AFUE rating for heating.
The cost to replace a central air conditioner is about $5,000. However, this price varies depending on the size of your home and the difficulty of the project. It can cost as much as $12,500 to replace an AC unit. The labor required to remove and dispose of the old system adds to the price. The size of your home, brand of AC unit and ductwork complexity can all raise the cost as well.
Be careful of dishonest HVAC contractors. There’s no magical formula to see if an HVAC contractor is scamming you, unfortunately, but remember that they typically do this in one of two ways: first, they are charging grossly low prices (far below everyone else), or second, they aren’t including what everyone else is. In the first situation, they will charge you change fees, other hidden fees, or they stole the equipment and are passing themselves off as legitimate contractors (very common in California these days). In the second situation, they are charging you a very fair price, but aren’t including what the other contractors are (i.e. charging $10,500 for the installation which is fair, but not including the ductwork which is a scam unless there is some other, complex stuff going on there).
In modern buildings, the design, installation, and control systems of these functions are integrated into one or more HVAC systems. For very small buildings, contractors normally estimate the capacity and type of system needed and then design the system, selecting the appropriate refrigerant and various components needed. For larger buildings, building service designers, mechanical engineers, or building services engineers analyze, design, and specify the HVAC systems. Specialty mechanical contractors then fabricate and commission the systems. Building permits and code-compliance inspections of the installations are normally required for all sizes of building.
PickHVAC Tips: First, see the PickHVAC tip above about sizing a central air conditioner. It applies to heat pumps just as much. Secondly, Even if the line set for the new heat pump is the correct size, we recommend replacing the set or at least the fittings. Old lines and fittings are a major source of leaks. When refrigerant leaks out, the heat pump efficiency suffers. Eventually, the unit stops providing heating and air conditioning, and it might break down.
Air conditioners can create a lot of water because they remove moisture from the air. To get rid of this, they have a [usually plastic] drain pipe that comes out of the side of the air handler. Over time, algae can block this pipe and, when it does, the AC won’t work. In fact, some condensate drains have a float switch that won’t let the AC run if water backs-up. Water can also puddle around the unit or flood the area. To deal with condensate problems, please see Air Conditioner Leaks Water, below.

Manitoba’s coffee scene has never been better. On just about every other corner, you’ll find a coffee spot that’s hip and happening. Some you’ve heard of, others you’ve tried, and still there are a few waiting in the wings for the coffee connoisseurs’ stamp of approval. Luckily, Manitoba is the next best thing to paradise when it comes to good coffee. For the coffee lovers who not only know good coffee when they taste it, but are quite particular about the joe that crosses their lips, here are 8 java joints that we suggest you give a shot.
Flatland may serve some very good coffee, but this coffeehouse is more concerned with the roasting process and that could be the reason why they serve such good coffee. Among their coffee options, the Rogue Wave Espresso is the pride and joy of this establishment with a taste that will appeal to coffee lovers who enjoy a full-bodied sweetness to their cup of joe.
With its country-chic layout and modern flair, that’s what will hit you the moment you walk through the door of Farmhouse 50, next will be the aromas of fragrant coffee and baked goodies. If you’re ever in the vicinity of this Minnedosa delight, be sure to stop by and take a sip of any of their options, hot or cold. If you’re looking for something unique, add some coconut and caramel to your macchiato.
From the excellent service, to the baked goods, to the delicious coffee, customers rave on and on about Whitecap in Winkler. If you’re one of those go-with-the-flow coffee drinkers who isn’t too selective about the kind or flavour of coffee, then just about anything on the menu will appeal to you, but for good measure, we’d suggest the Ethiopian variety.
A Moroccan coffee experience may be on your bucket list, but until then, this hot spot will do the job of getting you cultured. The brightly coloured exterior of Yafa Café is enough to pique one’s curiosity to go in search of what surprises and secrets are held within. And you will be pleasantly surprised by this fairly new spot. The coffee menu is delicious, with options like Honey Cardamom and Turkish Coffee Dallah.
Modern Coffee is another fairly spanking-new coffee spot located in the city’s North End. This shop boasts some of the best bean brands, including Black Pearl and De Luca’s Italian espresso with a focus on local and quality. And the baked goods aren’t too shabby either.
Looking for gourmet cuisine? Promenade Café and Wine will hit the spot. Looking for gourmet coffee? Stick around after your entrée and sip on some of the most mind-numbingly good coffee you will ever have. This café is a bit of a surprise. Sure, it has the word coffee in its name, but tasting is definitely believing and then going back for more.
Little Sister Coffee Maker is in the thick of things in the heart of Osborne and they recently opened a brand new location in South Osborne. Grab your laptop, or a good book and sit back and sip on your gourmet selection at this neighbourhood café. But if you're finding it hard to make a decision, go for the Cascara Spice Latte.
Prairie Ink may be a full-service dining spot, but you’d be missing out if you didn’t at least indulge in a cup of coffee while there. In fact, some people ignore the menu altogether and make the coffee and dessert their go-to when they hit this sweet spot. If you’re into flavoured coffees, you can’t go wrong at Prairie Ink as the restaurant offers several tantalizing options. Live music on weekends adds to the ambience of the space.

Dueling data on gun crimes put new laws in crossfire
Question of the Day
Congress is preparing for its first major debate on federal gun laws in nearly a decade, but first both sides will need to figure out whose facts to use.
In the wake of the deadly school shootings in Newtown, Conn., gun-control advocates point to figures that seem to show a correlation between stricter laws and lower crime and homicide rates. Pro-gun groups, though, say the data show just the opposite — that violence and crime drops where concealed-carry laws are allowed.
The press and the public are caught in the middle, searching for concrete conclusions that are tough to come by.
Sen. Pat Roberts, Kansas Republican, said that while everything should be on the table for discussion in the gun debate, the sheer volume of data presents a challenge for moving legislation forward — beginning with the 1994 assault weapons ban, which either helped or hindered crime-fighting efforts, depending on whose numbers are to be believed.
"There's been an awful lot of studies with regards to what a ban did and what happened after that," Mr. Roberts said. "The use of those kind of weapons actually went up after the ban, so you've got to figure that out."
Some statistics are contradictory.
Gun killings in 2010 were at their lowest rate since 1981, but the gun suicide rate was its highest since 1998 and the nonfatal injury rate from guns hit a three-year high in 2011, according to FactCheck.org. Those numbers were released after U.S. gun manufacturing increased 64 percent between 2007 and 2011.
Government and academic investigations on the matter also differ. A 2000 study by the Justice Department found that juvenile homicide rates increased by 65 percent between 1987 and 1993, but dropped from 1993 to 1997; the drop was attributed in part to tighter gun laws, including the 1994 assault-weapons ban, which ran for 10 years before lapsing in 2004.
But the Gun Owners of America says another Justice Department study from 1999 concluded that ban "has failed to reduce the average number of victims per gun-murder incident or multiple-gunshot wound victims," a key point since the commonest argument for controls on military-style weapons and magazine sizes is that such guns make mass, spree killings too easy.
A 2004 University of Pennsylvania study commissioned by the Justice Department seemed to back up both sides. It found that violence associated with assault weapons declined after the ban took effect but said that didn't mean fewer deaths.
"Indeed, there has been no discernible reduction in the lethality and injuriousness of gun violence, based on indicators like the percentage of gun crimes resulting in death or the share of gunfire incidents resulting in injury," the authors wrote.
David Kopel, research director of the Independence Institute, a free-market think tank, looked at mass shootings like the one at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut this month, and said they have definitely increased since the 1980s. But he said that can't be because of gun laws, which have not become more lax in that period, nor is it because of large-capacity magazines, which have been around for decades.
Instead, he said, the culprit may be a change in mental health treatment.
"In the mid-1960s, many of the killings would have been prevented because the severely mentally ill would have been confined and cared for in a state institution," he wrote in a recent opinion piece in The Wall Street Journal. "But today, while government at most every level has bloated over the past half-century, mental health treatment has been decimated."
Part of the problem is that data have become harder to come by, said Arthur L. Kellermann and Frederick P. Rivara. They said research started to freeze after Congress cut funding for promoting gun control in a 1996 spending bill.
"Precisely what was or was not permitted under the clause was unclear," they wrote in an article published online by the Journal of the American Medical Association.
"But no federal employee was willing to risk his or her career or the agency's funding to find out. Extramural support for firearm-injury prevention research quickly dried up. Even today, 17 years after this legislative action, the [Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's] website lacks specific links to information about preventing firearm-related violence," they wrote.
