Toronto, June 12
The film F•E•A•R: Face Everything And Rise features the exceptional courage of Annie Koshy, an Indian born Canadian, as she shares her personal story of being torn between cultural norms and her dreams of being a successful businesswoman and entrepreneur. She is a role model for many women who are seeking to unshackle themselves from cultural expectations and break free from the social stigmas that keep them boxed in. The film, which was produced under the banner of GTA South Asian Media Network Inc and the Rising Star Experience, has been recognized across the world with over thirty awards or selections. The latest awards received are for Best Original Score (Jayadeven Nair et al) and Best VFX and Colour (Serge Velbovets).
Directed by Manny Bains (Rising Star Movie Experience) and Serge Velbovets (Velbix Films), F•E•A•R features expert contributions by Satish Verma, and Rav Bains. Shot in and around Toronto for the most part, the film features original footage from central and southern India. Both Annie and Jayadevan Nair are from the southern state of Kerala. His involvement in segments of the background score helped bridge the east-west components of the film. The film score as a whole is a combination of pieces by Vishal Gupta, the Cocophonic team of Tony Singh, Julia Tynes and Randy James and Jayadevan Nair with contributions from other talented composers from around the world.
Manny is passionate about creating films that bring about social change, that can have a big impact on the world at large. He continues to lend himself to passionate, empowering projects that align with his morals and values and help the world move to a more empowering, and more positive place. “During the shooting process, I felt a stronger connection with this issue, and as I watched the playbacks I became more emotionally involved with this subject matter. It was a bit of an emotional ride, to say the least. I hope F.E.A.R can inspire many people to live their dreams and have the courage just like Annie did, to break through the barriers to live a fuller and joyful life and thus become happier, fulfilled and become a bright shiny light for others to follow as well.”
For Serge Velbovets, this film touches the nerve of the global society we all live in. “This film relates to the systemic society problems that go far beyond the South Asian Community. The topics the film raises are related to many countries and regions. As for a film director with a background in journalism, it was very important for me to make this film as authentic as possible. That’s why all interviews were unscripted and all emotions were raw and real. I saw Annie going through all circles of her pain again during the interviews, but I believe this pain will empower so many women around the world who appeared in the similar situation.”
F•E•A•R has won a Gold Remi at the WorldFest-Houston International Film Festival for Best Documentary. Winning Remi is not just prestigious, this film team is amongst a remarkable number of WorldFest discoveries including The Coen Brothers, John Lee Hancock, Ang Lee, Spike Lee, George Lucas, Steven Spielberg, Oliver Stone, and hundreds more.
WorldFest Artistic and Program Director Kathleen Haney said,“We feel that it is impossible to properly emphasize individual films when the festival screening schedule is too large. We will concentrate on only the very best, selecting new American & Foreign Independent films that truly deserve a premiere at WorldFest. By doing so, we can concentrate on the films and their filmmakers and enable our faithful audience the opportunity to see each and every film!”
WorldFest was founded over 53 years ago as Cinema Arts, an International Film Society in August, 1961. WorldFest became the third competitive international film festival in North America, following San Francisco and New York. WorldFest is the oldest Independent Film & Video Festival in the Whole Wide World. It evolved into a competitive International Film Festival in April, 1968.
Hollywood North Film Awards mission is to promote and award heart-wrenching, world-building, character driven films that push the boundaries of storytelling in Canada, and all over the world. They strive to bring attention to stories that have yet to be told, and to award creative excellence for exemplary filmmaking achievements.

Multilevel marketing is the rave among Kenya’s jobless youths. These pozi schemes promise to transform broke and idle youths into overnight moguls or millionaires if you may. Sad truth is, they are just perpetual cash pits. This is the sad truth that Willis Raburu learnt the hard way.
The Citizen TV reporter lost more than Sh. 300,000 in a one of these con games in Nairobi.
In an interview with local news stations, Raburu confirmed how he had consistently had the spirit of been an entrepreneur. In his school days, he used to sell bread rolls and water.
“I had a secret water tap that none of the students knew about and I sold water to them,” he narrated.
In his mid 20s, he was introduced in to what is now a how to get rich quickly plan,multi level marketing. He borrowed Sh. 300,000 from a friend with the guarantee that he’d take care of it with interest.
“I thought about the amount of money I would make and be left with after paying the balance. I didn’t know what lay in store for me. They convinced me to bring in other investors. This would have me making more money. I also bought their products which they sold to me at a discount in order to increase my profits,” he said.
When he parted with cash he had borrowed, the said company went ghost on him.
“After investing all the money, they stopped picking my calls. When I went to their offices I was told they had moved. That’s when I discovered I had been conned,” Willis Raburu said.
There has been a growing number of multilevel marketing firms in the country that has left youths crying after falling into their con game

Recent legal actions against Massachusetts Growth Capital Corporation and the Fearless Fund in Georgia show that the U.S. Supreme Court’s 2023 decision striking down affirmative action in college admissions has begun to have negative ripple effects across multiple sectors. Even without lawsuits, the Court’s ruling in Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard (600 U.S. 181 (2023)) could be creating a chilling effect not necessarily grounded in the law or reflective of the narrow nature of the ruling itself.
On October 11 the Boston Foundation’s Nonprofit Sector Infrastructure team of the Amplifying Community Leadership pathway welcomed over 200 nonprofit leaders, funders, donors, board members, consultants, and other allies of the nonprofit sector. A forum panel, featuring Malia Lazu (The Lazu Group/ Urban Labs), Iván Espinoza-Madrigal (Lawyers for Civil Rights Boston), Beth Chandler (YW Boston), Carla Reeves (Goulston & Storrs), and moderated by Elaine Ng (TSNE), addressed the potential nonprofit sector-wide consequences of the SCOTUS ruling on inclusive hiring practices, equitable programming, DEI and racial equity work, and more. The discussion panel had three goals.
The first was to determine, as Nonprofit Sector Infrastructure Senior Program Officer Leigh Handschuh put it, “What does this [legal landscape] look like for our sector, and [what would it take] for us, and more specifically philanthropy, not to simply retreat in this moment, but to push further?” This included naming the facts of the Supreme Court’s ruling on affirmative action and outlining its limitations. The second goal was to identify tangible steps nonprofits can take to continue their work in light of the SCOTUS decision. These may involve understanding your organization’s legal risks, continuing, and even doubling down on racial equity efforts, and bringing leaders together to continue to share and shape how the sector responds. The third goal was to identify lingering questions and needs in the nonprofit sector concerning the SCOTUS ruling that philanthropy could help address, such as deploying resources and funds. Offering opening remarks, Dr. Lee Pelton invited the panelists and audience into the conversation, stating that “now is not the time for us to hide our eyes... but rather seize this moment as an opportunity to reclaim and reassert the value of acting affirmatively.”
Iván Espinoza-Madrigal helped set the stage for this discussion, highlighting how “alarmist and sensationalist headlines have kept talking about how affirmative action is dead, affirmative action is overruled,” which he considers a mischaracterization of the SCOTUS decision. He reaffirms that these misinformation campaigns are “intended to create a chilling effect,” and are not supported by the decision itself. The U.S. Supreme Court determined that Harvard University and the University of North Carolina’s programs violated the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. Throughout the discussion, panelists pointed out what the SCOTUS decision does not do, including:
Identifying these nuances of the SCOTUS ruling may help address the nonprofit sector’s confusion as organizations continue to serve their communities. Panelists also discussed the following steps nonprofits could take to be reassured in their work, continue their racial equity efforts, and rally collective power as leaders in the sector.
Understand the legal risks of your programs and initiatives by seeking legal counsel from experts in this field. Carla Reeves recommended conducting internal audits. Strategic modifications to program or initiative descriptions may allow organizations to continue working to address issues in their communities. Espinoza-Madrigal suggested that it is good practice to seek out a second legal opinion, especially one familiar with civil rights or employment law, before compromising one’s mission and values. Elaine Ng urged the audience, “Stay the course and don’t be afraid.”
Continue advancing racial equity work throughout the nonprofit sector. In reflecting on the SCOTUS decision’s potential impact on her organization, Beth Chandler argued that the ruling had no effect on her mission to eliminate racism and empower women, but said it has “forced us “to get better at doing the [racial equity] work and integrating it into everything that we do.” The business imperative to diversify organization staff and board rooms creates the right conditions to double down on racial equity efforts. As Malia Lazu observed, “Businesses are realizing that diversity is profitable.” Espinoza-Madrigal added that scaling back racial equity programs in an organization may foster toxic, or even hostile, work environments. Promoting racial equity programs and initiatives will strengthen the nonprofit sector and its leaders.
Mobilize the collective power of leaders in the nonprofit sector and beyond. Reeves pointed out that years of data show that affirmative action programs and initiatives have benefitted, not just people of color, but also White women both in higher education and the workplace. She goes on to name her concern that overlooking the role of gender in this conversation could leave out people who may not see themselves as directly impacted by this decision, thus omitting powerful advocates and resources from this fight. Lazu, warning of complacency in civil rights struggles, highlighted the need to develop resources to train and mobilize leaders to address threats to the advancement of racial equity movements.
Panelists’ recommendations provided a pathway for nonprofit organizations and their leaders to continue working without fear of legal action against them. Audience survey feedback echoed many of the panel’s points and identified the need for more tailored convenings like these, written resources for nonprofits, and more pro-bono legal supports. We look forward to collaborating sector-wide on developing tools and convenings in the months and years ahead to provide tangible resources to the Greater Boston nonprofit community.
We know that the nonprofit sector’s collective action to counter systemic inequities will support its leaders as they address concerns in their own communities. The positive change they drive reverberates throughout Greater Boston, even in the face of a changing legal landscape.

A Broward County grand jury has charged four women — one of them a child welfare caseworker — with ignoring the suffering of a severely disabled Lauderhill pre-teen who withered away and died while under the protection of the state.
Tamiyah Audain suffered from a devastating disease, as well as autism and an intellectual disability. After her mother died from the same disease, tuberous sclerosis, Tamiyah was sent by the state to live with a young cousin, though a more capable caregiver in Kentucky was eager to take custody. On Sept. 25, 2013, Tamiyah’s emaciated, bedsore-pocked body was found in her caregiver’s home. An autopsy concluded Tamiyah was ravaged by infection, and starved to death.
The 12-year-old’s cousin, Latoya Patterson, was charged in an indictment with felony murder, meaning the child died as a result of another felony, aggravated child abuse, said Ron Ishoy, a spokesman for Broward State Attorney Mike Satz. Patterson was arrested Tuesday, and booked into the Broward jail. The charge is punishable by a maximum of life in prison.
A caseworker who was responsible for ensuring Tamiyah’s welfare, Jabeth Moye, was indicted on charges of child neglect causing great bodily harm, a second-degree felony. Moye worked for a foster care agency under the umbrella of Broward’s privately run child welfare agency, ChildNet, which has a contract with the Department of Children & Families. Her charge carries a maximum sentence of 15 years imprisonment.
Also indicted Friday were two psychologists who were involved in Tamiyah’s care, Juliana Gerena and Helen Richardson, Ishoy said. The two women were charged with failing to report suspected child abuse or neglect to DCF’s abuse hotline, which is required under Florida law. The charge is a third-degree felony, punishable by up to five years’ imprisonment, Ishoy added.
Failing to report child abuse has been a crime in Florida since at least 1999, when the well-publicized death of 6-year-old Kayla McKean of Central Florida prompted lawmakers to crack down on professionals who fail to act when confronted with obvious signs of abuse. But it is exceedingly rare for professionals or lay people to be charged with the offense, both in Florida and elsewhere.
“It is very, very unusual,” said Richard Gelles, the former dean of the University of Pennsylvania’s School of Social Policy and Practice, and a child welfare professor. “The indictment of professionals for failure to report almost never occurs. I may have heard of it once before in 40 years.”
The charges, Gelles said, suggest that grand jurors were particularly moved, or angered, by the circumstances of Tamiyah’s death. “To say they were probably pretty damn fed up would be mild,” Gelles said. “I think they were disgusted.”
Moye’s indictment was handed up Friday, the same day that a Seminole County caseworker, Jonathan, Irizarry, was charged by state police with falsifying records about visits to another child under the state’s care, 2-year-old Tariji Gordon. The Florida Department of Law Enforcement said Irizarry’s failure to monitor Tariji’s health and welfare might have led to her Feb. 6, 2014, death. Police say Tariji’s mother, Rachel Fryer, beat her to death.
Moye was fired by ChildNet on July 11, according to records obtained by the Miami Herald. A termination letter said only that “even with the support and coaching” of her supervisors, Moye’s work had not “improved enough to timely comply with the duties and responsibilities assigned in [her] job description.” Moye, the letter said, had failed to “adhere to our standards of excellence.”
A website operated by Gerena says that her practice, Gerena and Associates, offers mental health counseling and assessments under contract with several state agencies and their providers, including DCF, the Agency for Persons with Disabilities and ChildNet.
The stories of both Tamiyah and Tariji were featured in a Miami Herald series, Innocents Lost, that detailed the stories of 477 children from throughout Florida who died after DCF had made prior contact with the children’s families. The deaths — overwhelmingly involving infants, toddlers and other very young children — spiked around 2008 after DCF administrators embraced a rigid “family preservation” model while simultaneously reducing the supervision of troubled, drug-addicted and sometimes violent parents.
In particular danger, the newspaper reported, were children with complex medical needs and physical or intellectual disabilities. Children with physical impairments, a report said, are 17 times more likely to die from abuse or neglect in Florida than their typically developing peers. Among the Herald’s sample of 477 children, 85, or close to 20 percent, had suffered from some type of medical, physical or cognitive disability. Many, including Tamiyah, endured multiple impairments.
Ishoy said Tamiyah weighed only 56 pounds when Patterson, her caregiver, finally sought help. The girl’s body was marred by “extensive bed sores and bone-deep wounds” at death.
But even as Tamiyah shriveled away, records show, her ChildNet caseworker was recording regular visits to Patterson’s home, and reporting that Tamiyah was safe.
Patterson admitted to investigators that she had locked Tamiyah in her bedroom for hours, allowing the girl to emerge only at mealtime. Tamiyah also was being sedated with three separate tranquilizers to subdue her behavior — medication that left her so drowsy that, Moye wrote, the girl would slumber during the agency’s monthly visits.
During the state’s last visit with Tamiyah, a report said, the 12-year-old was “moaning” as she sat on the lap of her caregiver, and covered head-to-toe in clothing, possibly to cover the bedsores.

Stopping Lawsuit Abuse
By Senator Craig Estes
Texas is facing a crisis in the affordability and availability of health care. The rapidly soaring cost of health care and health insurance premiums is causing more Texans to cancel their insurance, abandon their family doctors and forcing them into emergency rooms for non-emergency cases. To deal with the problem of the uninsured, some have proposed costly government programs and even the government takeover of the health care industry with socialized medical systems similar to those in Europe.
However, before we increase the size and scope of government with bureaucrats instead of doctors making medical decisions, we should first address the cause of rising health care costs. One of the major factors forcing up the cost of health care services and health insurance premiums are medical malpractice lawsuits against health care professionals and facilities.
The State Senate recently passed a major lawsuit reform bill addressing many aspects of the civil justice system including class action lawsuits and product liability. The centerpiece of this legislation though is medical malpractice liability reform including a cap on non-economic damages. This cap on non-economic damage awards only applies to medical malpractice claims and is intended to reign in high jury awards and discourage frivolous lawsuits that are contributing to rising health care costs.
A review of medical malpractice damage awards by Jury Verdict Research found a nationwide increase of 43 percent, with an average of $1 million, in just one year. However, high jury awards are not the only problem, since not all cases brought against doctors are legitimate. In fact, according to the Texas Medical Liability Trust, 85 percent of all medical malpractice suits are closed with no liability judgment, meaning that there was no fault found against the doctor. Even though only 15 percent of all claims result in a financial judgment for the plaintiff, tens of millions of dollars are spent handling all lawsuits. High jury awards in combination with handling no-fault cases drive up the cost of medical malpractice insurance rates paid by doctors. These increased costs are passed on to patients through increased fees and doctors perform more expensive medical tests and procedures to protect themselves from costly lawsuits - a practice known as "defensive medicine." When it comes to doctors, apparently just being human is a cause for civil action.
The costs of lawsuit abuse are not just financial. Doctors in all areas of practice, from hospital emergency rooms to small family practice clinics, are leaving for fear of financial and professional ruin resulting from a continual barrage of lawsuits. A recent study by the Texas Medical Association found up to 62 percent of doctors are beginning to deny or refer high-risk medical cases, which usually more often affects pregnant women and children.
While the reform measure limits non-economic damage awards, which are unpredictable and vary from jury to jury, the measure maintains and strengthens a person's right to recover actual and future economic damages and leaves these amounts unlimited. Juries can award damages to recover medical expenses, lost wages, loss of potential future income and other related expenses. In fact, the legislation now allows juries to consider income tax statements to determine future lost income potential in assessing economic damages. When a patient is harmed due to a medical mistake, the patient deserves to be compensated for their loss and this legislation preserves the right to compensation.
Opponents claim that insurance companies providing medical malpractice coverage will not pass on the savings from tort reform to doctors paying for the coverage. However, the not-for-profit Texas Medical Liability Trust insures 30 percent of Texas doctors. This trust is required to pass savings on to policyholders. While private insurance companies are not required to pass on these savings, it is likely they will to remain competitive and keep their policyholders from switching to the lower rates offered by the Texas Medical Liability Trust or to any other company offering the savings.
Reforming medical malpractice liability is an important step in controlling and eventually lowering the cost of health care and health insurance while keeping doctors working in our emergency rooms and our family practice clinics.

“The Deep And the Dark,” kicks things off with power and might. Showing that Vision can bring their studio wizadry on the road with them, the vocals are absolutely pristine. “New Dawn,” a shimmering epic on the wings of the past, blistering through. “Book Of Nature,” a call to the wild, an ode to the adventures, adding frills to the fire. “Ritual Night,” a definite live favourite and a song that just screams epicness to all those who listen. “Siegfried’s Farewell,” a slower number, with aggression and anger thrown into the well.
“Lost,” blistering, simply blistering. “The Silent Mutiny,” weaves a story in from fledgling winds and overt chaos. “The Last Home,” a song that veers this way and that, never quite letting the listener get comfortable. “Words of War,” the sort of song you’d go marching off to. “The Grand Illusion,” finishes things off with a nice nod to the past, but all the while looking to the future. “Passing Dead End,” weaves a tale, through symphonic mastery. “Return To Lemuria,” closes things off with some nice variations of the studio track.
The album is out on 22nd February via Napalm Records.

World Environment Day 2020
World Environment Day is the most renowned day for environmental action; engaging governments, businesses and citizens to focus their efforts on celebrating nature’s gifts and highlighting its needs.
Today we’re challenging businesses to consider or take action over the effects of your supply chain on the world.
Everything we manufacture comes from our 13-acre site in the UK. For the many British and European businesses we supply, we try to limit the impact product packaging has on the world; both in its carbon footprint and the material it is made from. Paper-based packaging is recyclable, compostable and biodegradable, with a life span of as little as six months.
We do make use of a key gift of nature, though. A vital part of the biosphere, trees provide us with our base material to manufacture products that can biodegrade and re-enter the tree carbon cycle. It is important to us that the use of natural resources is done so without negative impact. We can ensure their protection is in place by only using recycled paper or FSC approved sustainable virgin board suppliers. As noted by the Two Sides initiative, the European forest fibre and paper industry are at the forefront of a climate-friendly bioeconomy in which renewable raw materials replace fossil resources and are “kept in the loop”, improving both the environment and the quality of everyday life.
At Cullen, we use natural resources to create a natural product. Be it recycled corrugate board or recycled surplus newspapers; our packaging is created in a way that minimises the environmental impact of the end product. We do our best to work in alignment with, instead of against, the resources nature provides. We think it’s the best gift that we can give.
Want to know more? Contact our team to discover how working with Cullen can improve the control over your supply chain and your packaging sustainability.

Guwahati, Nov 15 (IANS) Indefinite curfew was imposed in Assam's troubled Kokrajhar district Thursday after suspected militants shot dead a man and stabbed another.
The stray incidents of violence, continuing in Kokrajhar and Baksa districts of the Bodoland Territorial Area Districts (BTAD), had claimed six lives and left six injured since last week, officials said.
The army, which was called in Wednesday night to handle the situation, carried out a flag march in all sensitive areas of Kokrajhar Thursday.
While the first incident took place during curfew, when suspected militants stabbed one Abul Kalam, the second incident took place in Telipara where suspected militants shot dead one Nirisan Basumatary.
Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi asked Director General of Police Jayanta Narayan Choudhury to proceed to BTAD to take stock of the situation and restore normalcy, said a statement by the chief minister's office.
Choudhury was also told to take strong punitive action against those perpetrating the violence.
Gogoi also asked Minister for Industries and Power Pradyut Bordoloi to proceed to BTAD.
"We are concerned about the situation in BTAD. There are some people who do not want peace to return to the BTAD. There are also lots of forces instigating the violence in BTAD," Gogoi told reporters, adding that six people had been killed in BTAD since last week.
Gogoi also indicated the role of anti−talk faction of the Bodo militant outfit National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB) behind the violence.
Besides violence in BTAD, suspected NDFB militants had also killed a tea planter in Sonitpur district on Tuesday.
"The group of ministers constituted for relief and rehabilitation would also visit in BTAD soon," Gogoi said.
He said he had discussed the situation with General officer Commanding, 4 Corps, Gen. C.A. Krishnan.
The officer is likely to visit BTAD Friday.
"The district administration has imposed indefinite curfew in view of the continued violence," said Inspector General of Police (BTAD) G.P. Singh.
He said the army had conducted a flag march in all the sensitive areas of the district.
Singh said the condition of the man injured during an attack at a weekly market in Kokrajhar Thursday was serious.
Kokrajhar and Chirang districts, which form Assam's BTAD along with Udalguri and Baksa, had witnessed one of the worst communal clashes earlier this year which led to the death of over 100 people and displacement of over four lakh people from their homes.

Cape Town’s newly elected executive mayor vowed to tackle the sewage issue at a detention pond in Phoenix during his first site visit of the area last week.
Mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis visited Phoenix and Khayelitsha last week Friday in his first week as the mayor of Cape Town. He promised Cape Town residents he would assemble a team of officials to discuss an urgent turnaround for the failing infrastructure in the City and get more City officials to attend to the sewage problems.
The detention pond at Milky Way Drive has been a source of irritation for Phoenix residents over the past few years. In July, Phoenix residents said that there was a general lack of maintenance at the pond and the grate that was meant to stop litter from going into the pond was broken (“Call for ministers to tackle city water pollution crisis,” Tabletalk, July 14).
Mr Hill-Lewis said that he had been concerned about the number of sewer spills in the city for a long time and this was his chance to get stuck in.
“I’ve seen how one system failure, a blocked stormwater drain, has four or five major and very expensive knock-on effects. I have tasked the relevant officials in the City to come up with a short-term plan to address these issues as soon as possible. This will be in addition to our long-term plan to increase infrastructure investment,” he said.
Mr Hill-Lewis said that City officials would be given more equipment to help them do a better job of making sure these sewage spills don’t get out of hand.
The detention pond gets polluted by litter flowing into the water, but there is also a faulty pump station nearby spilling sewage.
Sindiswa Mhlontlo, of the Phoenix Ratepayers and Community Forum, said that this would ultimately have a negative effect on Lagoon Beach. She also said that a lot of people were misusing the stormwater system.
“The main challenge is the stormwater system, which is used as a sewage system. We have informal settlements, basic service delivery issues and overpopulation in the area. But for the residents, particularly residents in Milky Way and Taurus Road, the challenge is ongoing illegal dumping. The look and feel of Milky Way Park is not up to standard and is a health-and-safety concern,” she said.
Some Phoenix residents say they have heard all these promises before. Claire Pickering, said that every new councillor and every new mayor promised services that would be quicker and better.
“But the areas we live in are not getting better. Instead our community just gets worse every year. Our parks are deteriorating. The sewage bursts every other day. Failing pump stations. When will it end? I want to stay positive, but it’s so hard when your community is getting worse,” she said.
Peter Walsh, of the Milnerton Central Residents’ Association, also said that he was worried about the impact that the sewage at the pond would have on Lagoon Beach.
“In terms of the new mayor, it’s probably too soon to call it. We need to wait and see if the promises will be fulfilled. Xanthia Limberg is gone so I guess Geordin doesn’t think she can do the job. But again, we have to wait and see because the conditions at that pond are very bad. They haven’t done anything there in 14 months, and I feel sorry for the people of Phoenix who have to live near that,” he said.
Former mayoral committee member for area north and current Good party member, Suzette Little, said in a statement that her party welcomed the removal of Ms Limberg from the water and waste portfolio.
“We trust the new leadership will work to resolve the escalating problems of pollution and overflowing sewers in communities as fast as possible,” she said.
Amanda Kemp, of the Phoenix Ratepayers’ Association, said that she was confident that there would be changes in the neighbourhood because there were much-needed changes in the leadership.
“I really believe we will see changes. Our area has been going down for a long time, and I see some positivity. We need to see immediate changes. We have been going through a lot here. Getting sick because of the poor conditions. We needed this change,” she said.

Aussie actor fumes over topless bathing complaint: 'There's children around'
An actor has been given a "warning" at a swimming bath in Sydney for sunbathing topless after a man complained there were "children around".
Actor and content creator Kathleen Ebbs, 24, said they were relaxing by Dawn Fraser Baths on Monday with their sisters when a lifeguard sheepishly came over.
"A lifeguard comes over — don't shoot the messenger, I felt very sorry for them — and was like 'can I pull you over for a chat?' I was like what is this, Love Island UK?" Ebbs said on Instagram. "I was like, is this about my boobs, I don't need to be escorted aside, I'm not in f***ing primary school."
When the lifeguard responded yes, Ebbs pointed out that none of the men were wearing tops, at which point they told that "someone complained because there's children around".
Completely flabbergasted, Ebbs took to social media to share the "hilarious" reasoning, which highlighted a larger issue.
"Children are probably the only f***ing individuals that aren't sexualising my boobs," Ebbs explained to their almost 80,000 Instagram followers. "Because kids don't see gender and sexuality and bodies in that way. It's not until we get taught.
"Your parents will literally let you get dressed in public and then you hit a certain age, like 10, and then all of the sudden there's this emphasis on covering up your boobs. All of the sudden your 'private parts' aren't yours anymore. Why? because the f***ing patriarchy and because of the male gaze and because of the society we live in."
The actor, who was cast as the first ever non-binary character on Neighbours, mentioned how they don't feel the need to wear a top at the beach when "men don't have to".
"Also as a non-binary person I personally feel more sexualised and dysphoric when I have a bikini top on," they said. "But that's besides the point."
Actor slams man's reasoning as excuse
Ebbs found out that the complaint had come from a man and claimed his reasoning was an "excuse" for how he really felt.
"The man that f***ing complained used the kids as bait for his uncomfortability," they said. "My genderless tits are an issue to you and you can't just admit that, instead you have to use kids as ammunition for why I have to cover up."
"I also find it hilarious that it was coming from a f***ing dude that was wearing a speedo, as I could literally see his penis."
No explicit policy for nudity at Dawn Fraser Baths
After the warning from the lifeguard, Ebbs continued spending time with their sisters at the baths until another "poor lifeguard" came over.
"It wasn't their fault because they've been told by their manager to deliver this message — but the thing was that the pool's policy is that you have to be clothed" Ebbs said.
"Firstly, I couldn't find the policy anywhere and until that happens there shouldn't be an issue with me sitting here with my genderless boobs out having a merry old time, as well as probably teaching kids that they shouldn't be ashamed of their body, they shouldn't be ashamed of their chest. And just because you have boobs doesn't meant they're innately sexual."
Yahoo News Australia has reached out to Dawn Fraser Baths for comment about their policy and the incident.
Social media user applaud actor's response
Ebbs' explanation was praised by their Instagram followers, with many commenting on the unequal standards they know all too well.
"I have 2 boys (8 and 11) and this would have been a great conversation starter for me to explain that bodies are just bodies and if that person is comfortable, then it's none of our business," one mother said.
"Children perceive boobs as like life force milk-making nourishment bags for most of their little lives before being eventually conditioned," said another. "In no way were you offending any child there gosh."
Sydney woman fumes after being secretly photographed topless at beach
Woman shamed by neighbour after taking out her bins: 'The audacity'
Woman claims she was shamed at the gym over 'distracting' pants
"This is so frustrating and upsetting," a third person said. "Being in Europe and being on beaches where families were naked and nobody cared about bodies or posing was very freeing for me. I wish Australia would get over this purity culture and misogyny and let bodies be bodies. Love to you."

New book says Obama hoped for bin Laden trial
A new book says President Obama hoped to put Osama bin Laden on trial if he surrendered during a U.S. raid.
In a book on the raid that killed bin Laden, author Mark Bowden quotes Mr. Obama as saying he thought he could make a strong political argument for giving bin Laden the full rights of a criminal defendant, to show U.S. justice applies even to him. In the book, purchased by The Associated Press, Mr. Bowden writes that Mr. Obama said he expected the terrorist leader to go down fighting.
“The Finish” is scheduled for release Oct. 16.
Mr. Obama’s remark is the first time he has revealed his thoughts about putting the terrorist on trial.
U.S. officials have said the raiders were ordered to capture bin Laden if he surrendered, or kill if he threatened them.
Roseanne Barr, Santa Claus on state’s presidential ballot
CHARLESTON | Actress-comedian Roseanne Barr, Santa Claus and former Rep. Virgil Goode of Virginia are among more than two dozen write-in presidential candidates certified for West Virginia’s ballot.
But a Texas inmate who attracted nearly 41 percent of the vote against President Obama in the Democratic primary won’t be on the general election ballot.
The Charleston Gazette reported that Keith Judd requested to be placed on the ballot, but the secretary of state’s office’s response telling Judd what he had to do to be certified was dated Sept. 17, one day before the deadline for write-in candidates to be certified.
Santa Claus is a Nevada man known as Thomas O’Connor until he legally changed his name in 2005. He also was a write-in candidate in 2008.
Mr. Goode is the Constitution Party’s presidential candidate.

Village life forces us to live in community. Stepping out our door, someone sees what we do, asks what we have been doing, shouts a piece of advice on what we should be doing, and passes all this information along to the next house. Communal knowledge of our daily routine also extends to what goes on inside our home. The whole village can hear our boys running on our wooden floors, and, with a house on stilts three meters in the air, the human voice does tend to carry. Recently, a friend warned of our responsibility to go house to house reassuring each neighbor following any evening fights between my husband and I. We now continuously practice the fine art of the whisper as a family.
Conversing with women I am growing to love more and more every day, community becomes both an intrusion upon my individualistic sensibilities and a joy I have yet to fully appreciate.
"I heard your daughter, Kolap, crying so hard today. I was so worried I almost came over to pray with incense again." one grandmother commented.
"I heard your Mallis cry this morning, too. She sounds so cute when she cries." Grandmother's daughter adds.
"Your baby never cries in the night. White babies are so different than Cambodian babies."
Surprised they have managed to discern my children's cries in a matter of days, I quickly explain away my daughters' tears (or lack thereof) citing the bicycle accident, sibling scuffle, and scheduled feedings. Satisfied, the conversation moved to other topics. I, however, remain captivated.
Love and concern for their neighbor drives each person in this community to know even the cries of the littlest child.
The beauty of this realization delights my heart, especially when I consider the littlest child in the village is my own.
With great excitement, I look forward to a conversation the Holy Spirit prompts on the topic of the Lord's village, His precious church who loves and cares for each other through His love and because of His love, a global village that will one day live in community with the Father Himself who will dry every tear from every eye. Songs of praise will replace our cries, and we pray voices from those around us will someday be part of the chorus.

This document is an excerpt from the EUR-Lex website
The EU’s MFF sets out the annual ceilings of expenditure that can be spent on various policy areas. The current framework runs for the period 2021-2027.
EU MFFs are adopted for multiannual periods (usually 7 years, as in the present case). They ensure that EU spending remains both predictable and stays within agreed limits. They allow the EU to plan over the medium term rather than from year to year, resulting in more effective policies and spending. This is as important for the EU as it is for the beneficiaries of its spending.
MFFs also define flexibility mechanisms that allow additional spending in exceptional circumstances, such as natural disasters.
An MFF is both an expression of the EU’s political priorities and a budgetary planning tool. The EU’s annual budgets must respect the ceilings agreed in the MFF.
MFFs are proposed by the European Commission and then negotiated in the Council as well as in the European Parliament. The Parliament’s consent and unanimity in the Council are required for its adoption.
MFFs are accompanied by an agreement between the EU institutions to implement budgetary discipline and to cooperate on budgetary matters.


It is not even a point of discussion as to whether or not wearing a seat belt is important. If you are a racer or a regular street driver, that answer is a no-brainer. Wearing a seat belt is crucial in keeping you safe, and it is even the law. After wearing a seat belt for a while, whether you are racing or not, that life saving seat belt can start to become uncomfortable. You do not want to be tempted to remove your seat belt simply to avoid getting a sore spot. Instead, remain safe and install a Roush seat belt pad. This pad will cushion any spot that starts to become uncomfortable as you drive for short spurts or for long distances. This pad proudly sports the Roush company logo on it. Usually Roush only creates parts for a Ford Mustang, F150, and Focus. Since this accessory merely slips over your shoulder harness, it will fit virtually any make and model that is out there. By using this Roush seat belt pad on anything besides a Ford, you are really creating the statement that you wish you were driving one. We know you certainly deserve quality technical help when purchasing quality automotive parts. To support that need, we've built a round-the-clock customer service desk to help you with your needs. Everyone hates paying for shipping, so we provide 100% free shipping for each order $50 and higher. If you find a better price, let us know - we will beat any advertised price for auto parts.

The European Union will extend asset freezes and travel bans imposed on dozens of Russians and Ukrainians after Moscow’s annexation of Crimea to the end of this year, according to a draft statement seen by Reuters on Wednesday.
A draft statement, prepared for an extraordinary meeting of EU foreign ministers on Thursday and seen by Reuters, said sanctions imposed from March last year on people undermining Ukraine’s sovereignty would be extended until December 2015.
An earlier version of the draft had said the sanctions would be extended until September.
New sanctions could include further capital markets restrictions, making it harder for Russian companies to refinance themselves and possibly affecting Russian sovereign bonds and access to advanced technology for the oil and gas sectors, EU officials said on Wednesday.
EU foreign ministers are set to ask the executive European Commission on Thursday to prepare a new round of sanctions over Moscow’s role in eastern Ukraine, however officials said the measures may not be adopted by EU leaders until late March.
“Measures for financial markets would be the easiest to introduce. Sovereign bonds have been mentioned in the past among the options. They would also be quite effective because they would undermine the economic growth potential of Russia,” one official close to the discussions said.
A second official said the new measures against Moscow for its involvement in the conflict in eastern Ukraine could involve a shortening in the maximum maturity at which Western institutions and investors could lend to Russian companies.
That would make it harder for key corporations in the energy sector to refinance themselves.
The officials said one measure under consideration could make it harder or perhaps impossible for Western institutions and investors to buy Russian sovereign debt on issue in the primary market.
Both officials mentioned the possibility of imposing further restrictions on Russian access to advanced technologies in the oil and gas sector, which would make Russia’s ambitions for Arctic exploration for energy resources more difficult.
The idea of disconnecting Russia from SWIFT, an international bank transaction system, was not considered because it could lead to the creation of an alternative system by Russia and other countries that could be detrimental to the Belgium-based global clearing house.
No decisions on any sanctions have been made yet, because EU leaders first have to ask the Commission at a February 12 summit to research and prepare such measures. This usually takes 5-6 weeks, the first official said.
A final decision on whether new economic sanctions would be imposed on Russia is therefore likely to be taken in March, one official said.
Foreign ministers have called an extraordinary meeting for Thursday after Kiev said 30 civilians were killed in shelling of the government-held port of Mariupol by pro-Russian rebels on Saturday, shattering a five-month ceasefire.

“Court to hear tobacco warning case
The High Court will hear a case today brought by schoolteacher against the Minister for Health and Children for failing to give a commitment that health warnings on tobacco products be shown in Irish and English.” more from ireland.com
(I’m writing this in English because my non-Irish speaking readers need to read about it too.)I get where’s she’s coming from (it’s the principal of the thing) but sometimes this kind of thing just gives the naysayers more ammunition. How is changing the language of a government warning on a packet of cigarettes going to do anything for the language? It could do a number of things (please bear in mind I have no clue when it comes to the legal system and would welcome clarification PLEASE!):
- It might force the court to declare that even though the constitution states that Irish is the official language, English is de facto the lingua franca and printing warnings in Irish could be dangerous. This will create a precedent for all the naysayers who think the Official Languages Act is needlessly wasting resources to lep up on to their trusty bandwagons and contest the publication of anything in Irish
- The court might say that yes Bean Uí Riain is correct and we’ll be seeing warnings in Irish on our cigarettes soon too. Then all the non-Irish speaking naysayers will die from smoking because they won’t be able to understand the warnings but not before they take the government to court claiming they were not given sufficient warning about the dangers of smoking. Then they can leave all their money to anti-Irish Language lobby groups and Kevin Myers. (I’m not going to gratify him with a link!)
I wish Bean Uí Riain well and hope that she is made of money. I wonder who’s paying for the court case?

Moreover, the current outbreak has affected urban areas including the capital, Antananarivo. According to media, passengers at the city’s transport hubs are subject to medical inspections, while, infected areas sterilized to kill fleas. Schools and universities have closed down whereas public gatherings have banned.
The less toxic bubonic plague is more common on the island. Mostly, rodents fleeing forest fires help in its spread. When these infected fleas bite humans then made them ill.

These three-piece Christmas birth announcements consist of three separate cards stacked together and tied with cheerful red and white baker's twine for recipients to open. The top card has the look of an envelope, but your special announcement takes the place of the address. Another clever line goes in place of the return address and two tiny photos fill the stamps. On the back side there's room for all the birth details and a note from you. Choose any color for the background. The second card is filled with small photos interspersed with colorful blocks holding little tidbits of information. This card makes a great keepsake! The back is covered in a glowing gold foil look. The third card holds one, full horizontal photo, with a text area for baby's name and a welcome message. The back of this card is a gray and white chevron pattern, which will become the bottom of the whole birth announcements package when it's tied. Baker's twine is included.

Red State Threatens Liberal PayPal Donors
Yesterday Daily Kos readers decided to make fun of Red State’s "Vast Left Wing Conspiracy" fundraising pitch by calling for PayPal donations of 1 cent. The logic was that PayPal charges a minimum of .30 for a transaction, so Red State would be paying .29 cents per donation.
Which is ridiculous. I don’t approve of screwing with someone’s fundraising like that, but that’s beside the point — PayPal doesn’t charge you more than the amount of the transaction.
So Erick Erickson of Red State should’ve just left it there, but he couldn’t, and instead decided to retaliate by issuing threats regarding the personal information of PayPal donors:
But, we do get their name, credit card billing address, and email address. Those are actually valuable pieces of information.
Coming from someone else, it might sound quite idle. But RedState bloggers have a history of outing the identity of anonymous online folks, and abusing that information would be a violation of PayPal’s terms of service.
RedState’s fundraising drive is anemic. I guess their readers aren’t so dumb they bought the line about "evil liberal Scoop developers," or they think RedState’s owners Eagle Publishing — with $8.3 million in sales in 2006 — ought to be picking up the tab for that kind of basic site maintenance.
Eagle Publishing isn’t a public company and since they own Regnery they probably won’t care, and anyway that kind of rat fuckery is right up their alley. (Swift Boaters, anyone?)
Online integrity, indeed.

Martin Pearce makes sculptures that reference shapes found in the natural world. He talks about the trees and landscape close to the coast where he lives as being important points of reference. His biomorphic shapes are handbuilt using Earthstone white stoneware clay. Pearce’s starting point; a contoured slab of stoneware, is carefully draped over a chosen three-dimensional object. Working intuitively, he coils and manipulates the clay responding directly to the developing form.
In the run-up to his exhibition, Allusive Forms at Contemporary Ceramics in November 2019, we spoke to Martin to discover more about his journey with clay.
Contemporary Ceramics: Why do you do what you do?
Martin Pearce: Being a quiet sort of chap, I was drawn to activities through which I could express myself by creating objects. One of the great things about ceramics is that all of the aspects of design and creation are, at least theoretically, up to you.
Contemporary Ceramics: How did you first get involved in working with clay?
Martin Pearce: My father had an interest in ceramics and, when I was 10, he helped me throw my first pot. Though not often repeated, this had a big effect on me. On the rather flimsy basis of enjoying sketching as a teenager, I was accepted into art college where I studied interior design. For many years, I harboured the idea of making with clay but kept my interest going through collecting ceramics instead. Inevitably, I started experimenting, using a tiny kiln and the corner of a room. When disaster struck and a fire destroyed my interior design archives and information library, I took the hint, and set about teaching myself the dark arts of the ceramicist. That was ten years ago, and I still have a long way to go.
Contemporary Ceramics: How do you work?
Martin Pearce: I am not much of a morning person, so I have to rely on unthinking routine. Once I am in the studio, with the radio playing music that I don’t have to listen to, and I have found pots that really need to be rescued right now, I can start work (or play, as I call it). I begin work with an idea of the finished piece, perhaps even a sketch, but then I work intuitively. I normally have two or three pieces to work on, different in scale or intention, to keep my thinking fresh. When it is time to decorate a batch of pieces, the studio is reorganised to give me plenty of spatter space. Many pieces have slips flicked and dripped onto them, and I tend to disregard the consequences of my actions as I work. My studio walls are a mess.
Contemporary Ceramics: What images keep you company in the space where you work?
Martin Pearce: I never have images that are relevant to my work. I find them too distracting and interfere with my train of thought.
Contemporary Ceramics: In what way has the process of making a new body of work for this exhibition influenced your practice?
Martin Pearce: I have had to introduce a new level of discipline and forward planning, to create a cohesive body of work.
Contemporary Ceramics: How has your practice changed over time?
Martin Pearce: Having established a basic visual language for my work, I have moved from making vessel-based forms to essentially closed sculptural forms. Surface treatments have become quieter to emphasise the importance of form.
Contemporary Ceramics: What was the first piece of art that really mattered to you?
Martin Pearce: It wasn’t a single piece, but rather a movement that opened doors for me. The work of the New York Expressionists taught me that emotion and narrative were possible without figuration. The inner mind could communicate directly.
Contemporary Ceramics: You write that you don’t intend representation in your work. Are there material qualities or aesthetic concerns that drive this approach?
Martin Pearce:Direct representation doesn’t interest me. Abstraction concentrates the idea, and provokes the imagination. When presented with a representational piece, it is obvious what it is. What it means is all too often not considered.
Contemporary Ceramics: How does working with clay influence your life beyond the workshop?
Martin Pearce: I am always half looking for shapes and compositions that could extend the visual language of my work. I don’t sketch what I see, I prefer to remember and interpret the impression.
Contemporary Ceramics: What role does the potter/ceramist have in the 21st Century?
Martin Pearce: Potters/ceramists, and all makers, have the opportunity to enhance people’s lives. Whether it is the creation of pure beauty, enlightenment, or the physical enjoyment of use, makers can provide points of stillness in an otherwise turbulent world.

>> the first week to 10 days will pass quickly. a load of decisions she has to take. to brexit, she will have settle who will be the chief brexit minister. her first day will be wednesday of next week. after that, she gets a pause. friday of next week, parliament goes into recess. basically, august, the second half of july, she will have to ,ut everything together beginning to think about what is britain's negotiating status.
vonnie: the immediate steps will be appointing cabinet members and discussing the physicality's of brexit and so on. what will she do? will it be an austerity budget or a spending budget? >> we expect her to stick to the timeline. calmessage has been one of and stability. she saide first things when she launched her campaign , about 10 days ago, one of the first thing she said what she was going to break with george osborne's pledge by 2020. is saying tohe people is the age of austerity is not over. fiscal side of things, it is likely we will see --
half percent gain for the dow jones. if you look at the nasdaq, gaining by half a percent. a nice pop for the nasdaq. crude oil futures are rebounding. now, 46. mark: bernie sanders is endorsing hillary clinton for president. .hey are holding me joint event there you go. -- in every state in the union who worked so hard on our campaign and the millions

the tuesday session, closing up in a four-day stretch. vonnie: the international airshow in england is underway. some of the biggest aviation companies are there and guide joints and test guy johnson is joining us with tony fernandez. guy: tony fernandez is with me. this guy is airbus' biggest customer. we have to find out where he sees the business going through. i am assuming you did not pay less rice? -- list price? , i would not be standing here if i did. mark: this is a buyers market? tony: it is. foras been a drive period
aircraft manufacturers, timing means everything, and we are very happy with what we have done with airbus. there is plenty of liquidity on top of the fact that we are disposing a lot of our older aircrafts. cash is not the main issue. are the interest rates around the world really going down? tony: that is another reason for buying what we are buying. pressure as itny rises. we do not think that fed will rise anytime soon. guy: this is about the brexit story? and: we capitalized on it we are very happy with what we have got. guy: where are you going to use the airplanes? tony: right now, asia is playing
catch-up. slots but wereat need more capacity, but there are no slots so china, hong kong, parts of indonesia are all places we are looking at. guy: the 321. tony: we have been able to negotiate a good, competitive pricing that gives us a low-cost arian's gauge. -- variance gauge. i would love to have the aircraft now. guy: what is happening in the indian market? it has long been a tricky one. the government has done what it said it is going to do. it is not exactly what we would like but we are very bullish in india, and i think we will get to the requirement of 20 aircraft sooner than most people expect.
is asia on the effect that china can keep the show on the road? tony: we are going to have a record profit year. people want to fly. the market is huge. this is a noisy plane flying over. tony: we have to launch a i think people in the west are fixated with china, but there is a lot more to asia than china. i have worked with china and it is fantastic. listing, where are you, what are you thinking? tony: it is very early stages. i do believe in looking at it.
we think nor asia -- north asia is a big profit. days.very early aboard position, the statement that came out was correct. from our own position as leader of the company we should be looking at it and i will continue to look at it but the board is right in saying that nothing serious has been firmed up. it is very early stages. guy: brexit, localized to the u.k. or a global effect? tony: it is obviously going to have a global effect and it has. in time to come, brexit does not impact asia so much. it impacts confidence. i give credit to david cameron
for all he has done in terms of british exports and we are a large part of that. i wish they would have stayed in europe. itare going to get on with and britain has to get on with it. it has made a decision and it has got to move on. guy: i do not think anyone can hear us anymore. tony, thank you for the conversation. , i will throw it back to you. mark: guy johnson with airasia group chief executive at the international airshow. live from london and new york, you are watching "the european close," mark barton with vonnie quinn. stretch sinceg july 1, highest since june 23. it is jumped by 5.4%.
3%the last four days, still below june 23 levels. ftse volatility has fallen in recent days. it is incredible. the ftse 100 powers to a bull market, yesterday rising 20% from its three-year low in february. we have this incredible move downward for the ftse volatility index. in september we were in a five-year high and we have come down to almost half of those levels, quite incredible moves. that is reflective of the diminishing risk that is perceived. days,versus dollar, three sterling has risen for a third consecutive day and it has gained 2%. this is the longest winning stretch since may 19 in today's game is the biggest since june 30. this is a sort of theresa may
moment when andrea leadsom yesterday dropped out of the race. sterling was lower against the dollar and as you can see, it has been on an awkward trajectory as we await the coronation of theresa may as prime minister. i want to show you how we are witnessing and even version to safety -- and even version to safety. fore is the real appetite risk and the flipside is bond yields are rising, bond prices are falling. this is the u.k. 30 year, tenure, and two-year. year, 10 year, and two-year. appetite foris an risk reflected in equity markets across the globe. vonnie: the nasdaq up higher as you alluded to, hire five days in a row. let's go to abigail doolittle who is live in midtown manhattan. pretty impressive.
abigail: it is the nasdaq's first five-day rally in more than a month and we have the nasdaq again the psychologically important 5000 level. perhaps most important or impressive, for the first time this year we have the nasdaq trading higher on the year. a broad-based rally for the nasdaq. one of the top point movers, american airline shares are up day, having their best since september 2014. up more than 35% since the brexit bottom on june 23. taking american a lines higher today is they expect to see a boost of $1.55 billion from credit car dealers -- deals. their rating has been taken from a by two way hold. this stock is the down and is still despite the strength, down
more than 20% year to date so mike lindenberg must think the risk to reward is more attractive despite the dynamic of falling fares and rising wages. it'll be interesting to see how this plays out. vonnie: you are mentioning much of the strength is coming from tech. abigail: apple and microsoft are among the biggest boost but probably the most impressive, seagate technology shares are up nearly 20% after the company preannounced its fiscal third-quarter to the upside and announce they are cutting 6500 jobs. another beaten-down stock, down more than 50% from its peak in 2014. you might think there is a turnaround in play but bloomberg analysts think there could be long-term issue still it play. if you look at a chart of
seagate, we see a long-term downtrend. we see the big rally up off of the bottom in february, up nearly 60%, but the stock is likely to face the selling pressure soon. phenomenal chart. thank you. on the bloomberg first word news, courtney collins has more. courtney: bernie sanders has endorsed hillary clinton for president. the two appeared in portsmouth, hampshire. he was still officially running for the nomination until today. you can watch the event right now on your bloomberg terminal at live go. meanwhile, a house committee is questioning loretta lynch about the hillary clinton e-mail case. lynch says she is crowd -- proud of the investigation but refused
to talk specifics. >> i received and accepted their that the decision thorough year-long investigation be cleared and no charges be brought against any individual. i understand that this investigation has generated significant public interest, it would be inappropriate for me to comment further on the underlining facts of the investigation were the legal basis for the recommendation. michael: wench -- courtney: lynch also defended her's vision not to recuse herself. two trains italy, collided head-on, killing more than 20 people. reports say rescue workers pulled survivors out of the wreckage. it is hard to believe these numbers. officials had estimated the ireland economy
grew 7%, but it was three times as much, 26%. this is due to the number of u.s. corporations that have relocated to ireland. becomes partincome of ireland's gdp even if they do not create any jobs. global news 24 hours a day, powered by our 2600 journalists and analysts in more than 120 countries. i'm courtney collins, this is bloomberg. get to a bloomberg exclusive, erik schatzker sat el, and theydrea orc talked about the risk of the financial jobs leaving the u.k. because of the brexit vote. andrea: most probably we will need to consider moving a number of our countries. in the still have a base u.k. and we'll deal with them the way that we deal with them today.
we will most likely be booking from other countries. the part of the business that is eu business done from london would need to be done from elsewhere. aboutnow we are talking 5000 people who you employ currently in london, how many of them are we talking about moving? andrea: i think it is very difficult to tell because at the moment people are not segmented into people who deal with booking from other countries, people who deal with the u.k. only, people who deal with the european union. that will take a lot of work to establish exactly what needs to be dependent on the current agreements that we have. i would say it will have a significant impact and that ubs is a swiss organization that has not been part of the eu, has had plans to replace for a long time to follow market development,
but i would not say something that is at our doorstep tomorrow. i think it is something that we have some time although not much -- not as much as i would like. erik: one thing you have shown an ability to do is prepare for and adapt. it is one of the reasons i'm trying to push a little bit because the world needs to know what the implications are for london as a financial center and for all of the banks that operate there. when you say significantly, are we talking about half of your people and where are they going? zurich? frankfurt? paris? the jury? andrea: when i say significant people, it would be a significant percentage. i cannot tell you how many. it would be relevant enough for everybody to be concerned that this will require a complete reassessment of our model going forward.
the second thing is where will they go? it is quite unclear at the moment. i am sure you have followed the french and german governments, a number of governments are making if i may call it, a case for people to move to their jurisdiction. at the end of the day, they would like to import wealthy people who spend, who earn, who create jobs for their economies into their own centers. what is the choice? it will depend on infrastructure, on the nature of the deals one can have in each and every one country, will depend on what the shape of the rest of the eu will have at that point in time. speakingndrea orcel with erik schatzker. a major milestone in the democratic race for president is happening now in towards myth,

Red Dead Redemption Coming to PS4 (and PC Kinda) Through PlayStation Now
Rockstar's western gets the streaming treatment.
Rockstar's 2010 western Red Dead Redemption is finally coming to PlayStation 4 and PC, but maybe not in the way fans might had hoped for. Sony announced today that the game's PlayStation 3 version will be added to the PlayStation Now streaming catalog "soon."
That's all the information that Sony shared in its blog post, so we'll have to wait to find out when the game is coming and what it will cost to rent or buy.
PlayStation Now is a backwards compatibility solution of sorts, allowing you to pay to stream PS3 games on the PS4 and other supported devices, like PC. This is not the PC version of Red Dead Redemption fans have been waiting for, however, as it's the PS3 edition being streamed to your computer.
There are more than 400 games available in the PlayStation Now catalog; for more on how the streaming service works, check out GameSpot's guide.
Red Dead Redemption is already playable on Xbox One through backwards compatibility. On Microsoft's console, if you already bought the game on Xbox 360, you don't have to pay for it again. A performance analysis found that Red Dead Redemption played better on Xbox One than Xbox 360.
The first Red Dead Redemption 2 trailer was released today, showing off the game's gorgeous world but not really revealing any details about the story. The game launches in fall 2017 for PS4 and Xbox One--there will be exclusive content on PS4.

If you go to Iran, are lucky enough to be invited in to somebody's home and you are checking out their books whilst they make you a cup of tea, you will see Hafez's Divan on the shelves for sure.
Much as we have Banjo Patterson and Shakespeare, Iranians love Hafez and his poems. Emmerson loved him, so did Goethe. Will you?
Today we have an Ode, narrated by Benjamin Soames.

When you arrive at your destination, what guy will catch your eye? If bad boys are more your style, perhaps you can find a biker with a rocking Harley to take you for a ride. Will you snuggle up to the sexy bartender or meet the hottest rock star in town?
Your destiny is in your hands. Club, bar, or gallery opening, you must decide how your night will progress. In a world where anything is possible, you are the only one who can choose who will give you your ultimate satisfaction.
This bizarre take on the old fashioned choose your own adventure book makes for a fun evening. Obviously the book offers a plethora of options for multiple readings as you make hypothetical good and bad decisions. There is nothing like living your walk of shame in the pages of a book.
