BAGPIPES and fiddles will merge with tribal belly dancers and a Bollywood band to celebrate the Capital’s 20th Dussehra Festival tomorrow.
Around 5000 people are expected to gather for the annual Hindu festival on Calton Hill, which celebrates good conquering evil.
Symbolic 25ft effigies of the demons Ravana, his brother Kumbhakarna and son Meghnad will be set alight on top of the hill to commemorate the victory, which took place thousands of years ago.
The burning is the climax of a day full of activities celebrating Dussehra, along with a fireworks display which takes place against the spectacular backdrop of the Edinburgh cityscape.
It is one of the largest free independent festivals in Scotland – something its organisers are proud they are able to provide to the residents of Edinburgh and further afield.
Karthik Subramanya, president of the Scottish Indian Arts Forum, which organises the festival, says: “It’s our 20th year so we are so excited that we have come this far.
“The buzz across Edinburgh and the community is great. With social media, you get a lot of advance feedback, and the feedback has been really good.
“This is the biggest event for the Indian community across Scotland. People are really engaged.”
The event has grown from more humble roots. Twenty years ago it started out as a simple parade through the city streets.
This year it features a fantastic cultural programme integrating Scottish and Indian music and dance.
The pipes and fiddle performers of the Scott Wood Band will be headlining the festival at 5.30pm.
Indian classical dancers from the Bhartiya Ashram centre in Dundee will give a traditional feel to the festival at 6pm. Other performers include Twisted Tails, a tribal belly dancing group, flamenco performances by Alba Flamenca and the Bollywood band Swaryatra.
This year there will also be a dedicated children’s marquee with arts and crafts workshops by Edinburgh Sculpture Workshop from 3pm to 5pm, designed to help children understand different cultures and diversity by engaging in activities together.
“It’s almost a 50/50 split between the Scottish and Indian performers, and we have young pipers and fiddle bands.
“We have increased the number of kids’ activities this year and we’ve got lots of schools involved.
“They have been learning about it in school, and I think it’s an important part of the curriculum.
“Last year we were surprised by the amount of people we had there.
“People come and go throughout the day because we’re on all day, but we expect to see about 5000 people.
“We will have a huge number of new people coming, as well as our existing audience.”
As well as music, dancing and arts and crafts, spectators will be able to enjoy a host of fantastic food stalls, including those provided by the award-winning Banana Leaf restaurant in Glasgow and the Drumbrae-based Spice Lounge.
The burning of the effigies is the climax of the event as it marks the end of the ten-day war between the gods and demons thousands of years ago.
This year, the festival is taking place earlier in the month than it did previously due to the lunar calendar, so the fireworks will start a bit later, at 7.30pm.
The towering effigies have once again been made by the inmates of Saughton Prison, who are taught skills in carpentry and design.
“This is the sixth or seventh year they have made them for us,” explains Karthik. “They try to make the effigies different each year and they really get into the spirit of it.”
To enable the festival to remain free to spectators, organisers have secured sponsorship from SSE Scottish Hydro and TCS Tata Consultancy Services.
Jim McPhillimy, managing director of SSE Plc, owners of the Scottish Hydro, says: “SSE is committed to working actively in all the communities we serve and we are delighted to support the Scottish Indian Arts Forum’s annual Dussehra celebrations in Edinburgh for the third year running.”
Karthik adds: “The whole community looks forward to this event and we hope we can continue to present this event for the next 20 years.”

The world’s most valuable beer and spirits brands
Johnnie Walker is the world’s most valuable whisk(e)y brand, while Bud Light tops the charts in beer. But 2017 is the year of China's baijiu brands, says Brand Finance, with the drink now accounting for a greater share of brand value than any other spirit type.
Valuation and strategy consultancy Brand Finance has recently released its lists of the 50 most valuable spirits brands and 25 top beer brands.
In 2016, whiskey accounted for 37% of total brand value in Brand Finance Drinks 50, with baijiu trailing behind at 23%. This year the tables have turned: whiskey takes a share of 28% with Baijiu leading on 37.5%.
The world’s biggest baijiu brands have a combined value of more than $22bn, and premiumisation is a trend to watch out for in the category.
Boost for baijiu
Moutai, a household name in China for the grain-based alcohol baijiu (pictured), maintains its position as the world’s most valuable spirits brand, thanks to a 60% increase in brand value.
The Chinese brand has enjoyed a 19% year-on-year increase in revenue, and 7% increase in net profit, driving up its share price.
Baijiu, pronounced ‘bye-joe’, the fiery liquor is mainly consumed in China.
Made from raw materials such as sorghum, wheat, rice, sticky rice and corn, the spirit dates back some thousand years.
Over the last five years, producers have started to set their sights on international markets, particularly highlighting its use as a cocktail ingredient.
The price of a bottle recently rose to 1,200 yuan; and the brand is now expanding outside of China with a presence in San Francisco and Germany.
Gujing Gong Jiu is the fastest growing baijiu brand in this year’s charts, nearly doubling its brand value. Wuliangye, Luzhou Laojiao and Yanghe have also shown impressive growth, with 86%, 73% and 50% increases respectively.
Baijiu is enjoying a strong following and consumers are also looking to trade up to more premium brands. But David Haigh, CEO, Brand Finance, warns that brands cannot rest on their laurels.
“The baijiu market is resurgent but some have suggested this may only be temporary and that Chinese consumers’ tastes will diversify without corresponding growth internationally to compensate,” he said.
“In such a situation, strong brands will be essential to maintain market share.”
Meanwhile, other most valuable brands this year are:
- Johnnie Walker: Diageo’s Scotch whisky brand maintains its place as the most valuable whisky ‘by a considerable margin’, even though the brand value dropped 2% this year. It comes in at second place behind Moutai as the world’s most valuable spirits brand, with a brand value of $4.5bn.
- Bud Light is the world’s most valuable beer brand (up 34% to $6.6bn), with fellow Anheuser-Busch brand Budweiser ($5.9bn) coming in at second place.
Earlier this year Budweiser’s Superbowl ad drew the ire of Trump supporters – who called for a boycott of the brand for what they considered to be pro-immigrant propaganda – but Brand Finance says “This does not appear to have had any lasting damage, with brand value up 30%.”
- In beer Heineken takes third place, with a brand value growth of 22% to $5.2bn. Brand Finance notes its sports sponsorships: seeing a shift away from football to F1 and rugby.
More about baijiu:
It's not a uniform product; it's a class of spirits with many categories. Think whiskey with its range from smoky Scotch to mellow bourbon.
But unlike whiskey, which is fermented in a liquid state, baijiu is more or less dry fermented inside in-ground pits. It then is steam distilled several times in goose-neck stills, aged in massive terra cotta vessels, then finally blended (itself a complex and labour-intensive process).
It generally is bottled at around 100 or 120 proof (well above the typical 80 proof for vodka, gin, etc.) and is classed by aroma, such as "light," ''rice," ''strong" and "sauce" — labels which aren't all that helpful to Westerners.
Typical reactions from first-timers are that it smells and tastes like blue cheese, mushroom or soy sauce — not the most alluring descriptors.
"This is not a spirit you can just pour into a martini glass and enjoy," says New York bartender Orson Salicetti....


Google on Firm Constitutional Ground in Secrecy Fight With FISA Court
NEWS ANALYSIS: Google, a target of demands for info through secret warrants from U.S. security agencies, wants to say what it's being asked for, within limits.Google has filed a motion in the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court requesting a declaratory judgment that would release it from the requirements in secret court orders that bar it from making any public mention of government demands for user information. In the motion, Google asserts that it has a First Amendment right to publish unclassified numbers, in this case the total number of Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) requests it receives and the total number of users that these requests cover. These numbers are not classified information, but Google is nevertheless prohibited from publishing them by the FISA Court. In Google's filing with the court, the company said that it would include these aggregate numbers in the Google Transparency Report, which is publishes every six months. Google said in its motion that the company does not plan to reveal which FISA authorities asked for the data. The company also said that it does not intend to release any details on what the data requests were for. This is not the first time that Google has raised this issue with federal authorities. In fact, Google's chief legal officer, David Drummond, wrote to Attorney General Eric Holder and FBI Director Robert Mueller asking for greater transparency in releasing numbers for data requests and pointing out that keeping the numbers secret fueled speculation that Google was giving the government access to its servers.
In his letter, Drummond noted that the FBI has authorized the release of general numbers by Google in March 2013, long before the National Security Agency revelations made headlines. In fact, Google CEO Larry Page went out of his way to say that the claims of the company's complicity in the data gathering were false.

One week after ZBot detection was added to Microsoft's Malicious Software Removal Tool (MSRT), the company reports that the threat was found on one in five infected computers.
ZeuS is a crimeware kit sold on the underground market. Its modular architecture makes it very flexible and many third-party plug-ins extending its capabilities can be bought separately.
The kit is used to generate customized versions of an information stealing trojan called ZBot (ZeuS Bot) and the associated command and control (C&C) Web application.
There are multiple variants of ZBot in the wild at any given time, generated with different versions of the toolkit, with or without additional plug-ins and possible customized packing.
This wide variety of samples makes it very hard to antivirus vendors to keep up with the threat. According to the ZeuS Tracker project, the average signature-based detection for ZBot binaries is somewhere around 40 percent.
Of course, full-fledged antivirus programs are multi-layered and if the threat escapes signature-based detection it can be caught by behavioral sensors, for example.
However, since MSRT is a signature-only tool, to detect and remove ZeuS reliably Microsoft had to make significant changes to it.
"This is a complex threat with techniques employed to make removal by AV challenging and which necessitated advances in the technology we use," said Jeff Williams, director of Microsoft's Malware Protection Center (MMPC).
During the past week, the new MSRT version removed 281,491 ZBot infections from 274,873 unique computers, suggesting that a relatively low number of systems were affected by multiple variants.
During the same period, Microsoft's tool cleaned malware from a total number of 1,344,669 computers, which means that one in five compromised machines was infected with ZBot.
ZeuS is commonly used by fraudsters to steal sensitive financial information from victims, such as online banking credentials or credit card details.
Last month, authorities dismantled an international network of criminals, who used the trojan to steal over $70 millions from US companies and organizations. However, this was just one of the many ZeuS gangs out there.

The North Carolina Tar Heels weren’t ranked in the top five this time, but that won’t make Florida State’s trip home to Tallahassee any less sweet.
For the second consecutive year, the Seminoles were huge underdogs against the Tar Heels on Saturday afternoon. And for the second consecutive year, Jordan Travis led the Seminoles to a monumental upset.
Travis, making his second consecutive start, was spectacular running the football and also hit a number of big plays through the air to lift the 18-point underdog Seminoles to a 35-25 victory in Chapel Hill, N.C.
It was Florida State’s second straight win after starting the season with four consecutive losses. And it was the Seminoles’ first road win since interim coach Odell Haggins led the team to a victory at Boston College in 2019.
Travis finished Saturday’s game with 121 rushing yards on 14 carries, and he also completed 11 of 13 passes for 145 yards and three touchdowns with no interceptions.
The game couldn’t have started much worse for FSU, which was playing without several key defensive players and fell behind 10-0 late in the first quarter.
But just when things looked bleak, the Seminoles erupted for three straight touchdowns to take a 21-10 lead into halftime.
First, Travis connected with receiver Malik McClain on a 5-yard touchdown in which the freshman wideout did a great job of getting a knee down inbounds and completing the catch.
Then after the Seminoles’ defense forced a three-and-out, Travis broke off a 53-yard touchdown scamper to give the ‘Noles the lead at 14-10. Then just when it looked like the Tar Heels might answer with a score of their own, FSU cornerback Jarrian Jones picked off a Sam Howell pass in the end zone.
FSU’s offense came through again, capping off an 8-play, 80-yard drive with a 32-yard touchdown pass from Travis to Ontaria “Pokey” Wilson, which gave the ‘Noles an 11-point advantage at halftime.
Carolina came out strong in the third quarter with a touchdown pass from Sam Howell to tight end Kamari Morales to cut FSU’s lead to 21-17.
But FSU responded with a 5-play, 75-yard drive to push the advantage back to 28-17. The big play was a 44-yard pass from Travis to Keyshawn Helton (with a roughing-the-passer penalty tacked on), then Travis plunged in from 1 yard out with a QB sneak.
Florida State extended its advantage to 35-17 with another touchdown pass from Travis to Wilson — this time from six yards out to cap off a nine-play, 83-yard drive.
Nearly one year ago, Travis and the Seminoles pulled off a 31-28 upset of North Carolina when the Tar Heels were undefeated and ranked No. 5 in the country.

Line an 8x8-inch loaf pan with parchment paper and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, add rice crispy cereal and set aside.
Over medium heat, melt milk chocolate hazelnut spread with brown rice syrup, vanilla and salt until very smooth and drippy. Remove from heat and pour the mixture into the rice crispy cereal and mix well.
Pour rice crispy mixture into the lined pan and, using slightly damp hands, press firmly into place.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set.
Treats should be stored in an airtight container in the fridge and will stay fresh for about 2 weeks.
*Nutella will totally work too, if that's all you have on-hand. **Honey or maple syrup can be used, however these are less sticky and I've found brown rice syrup works best.

The U.S. Air Force recently introduced a breakthrough in air combat training. The P5 Combat Training System is a data recording and communications pod that aircraft carry while doing combat training with other aircraft or against ground targets. Previously, aircrews had to do their training at a training area equipped with electronic equipment on the ground (an "instrumented range") to record who was where and did what. The pilots also had to communicate with a ground tower to coordinate this combat training. The P5 pods communicate with each other and record training activities which can be viewed and evaluated from ground systems, just like they could when using the "instrumented range". In other words, like the "flight recorder" capability in combat flight simulator games, pilots can play back their training exercises on a PC. The J5 pod means that pilots can now train anywhere and get the same quality of feedback they received on an instrumented range. The U.S. Navy worked with the air force on developing the J5 and will buy pods as well for aircraft deployed on carriers.


TurboAnt X7 Pro: A Scooter That’s as Light and also as Powerful as It’s Name
The TurboAnt X7 Pro electric scooter is a solid contender in the budget commuter classification, with a strong stem, very smooth velocity, and also light-weight speed. With a tested top speed of 25.4 kmh, the X7 Pro isn’t the fastest entry-level scooter yet it trips smooth and secure.
Pretty mobile and also easy to use
It’s a wonderful version for newbie motorcyclists as it packs together many of the transportability and user-friendly features that we value most, consisting of a little folded up impact, lightweight develop, quick folding that locks right into position for simple transportation, an ergonomic thumb throttle, as well as a high-mounted front lights.
It isn’t ultraportable due to the fact that the handlebars don’t fold, however the stem securing system really feels especially strong as well as the securing hold is extremely easy to clip to the fender when folded.
The TurboAnt X7 Pro has folded up dimensions of 109 cm long by 43 centimeters wide by 46 cm tall. The handlebars are 42 cm large as well as the deck to handlebar elevation is 99.1 cm high, which is a comfortable configuration for a lot of riders.
What I Really Like
Entering into this with an essential mind, there are honestly a lot of points to like regarding the Turboant X7 Pro electrical scooter. I had rather large assumptions as I was very amazed with the very first version and also I can currently claim with confidence that I had not been let down.
My preferred functions of this electrical scooter is:
The detachable battery – It makes billing the scooter a lot less of a headache as I do not have to bring a dirty scooter up numerous flights of stairways simply to charge it. I leave the electric scooter body in the cellar as well as bring the battery pack up for a fee rather.
The improved range – The array is a gamechanger. A lot of entry-level scooters experience poor variety and unstable battery performance however the X7 Pro is a big step in the appropriate direction with its 360Wh battery. 15.2 miles per charge in a real-life riding test is exceptional for an electrical scooter this cost effective.
The larger 10-inch air tires – The trip quality and smoothness quickly improved with the tire size upgrade. They soak up a lot more road vibrations as well as handle aesthetics and also craters much better thanks to the boosted ground clearance. You also really feel a lot much safer when transforming or leaning thanks to the bigger small surface with the ground.
The unbelievable value – I find it absolutely incredible that Turboant has the ability to bring so much value to the consumer at such a budget friendly expense. Considering the cost, the Turboant X7 Pro is definitely one of the best electrical scooters today.
For a budget electrical scooter, the X7 Pro stands out among its peers. Couple of various other scooters in the same group can match its performance. Maxing out at 20 miles per hour, the Turboant X7 Pro is quick and also benefits from the high torque provided by the 350 W power electric motor. The scooter can deal with hill qualities of as much as 20%. Motorcyclists will be thrilled by the smooth acceleration controlled by the rubber throttle.
To help the motorcyclist preserve control of the scooter– even at high speeds– Turboant mounted a triple stopping system, making up an Electronic Braking System (EBS), back disk brake, and rear foot brake. This system can bring the scooter to a stop in seconds, with a braking distance as brief as 16.4 ft.
Superb worth for money
Comfy to ride
Large, luxurious tires
It’s worth discussing service warranty due to the fact that when you’re investing this much cash, you expect that any concerns will certainly be dealt with by the business you’re purchasing from.
Turboant deals a six-month warranty, and also includes an added 6 months on for scooters purchased using its website. You can request the guarantee extension if you purchase from Amazon.com, however at the time of testimonial the X7 Pro wasn’t available from Amazon UK or United States.
If you required to make a guarantee insurance claim, the procedure relies on when the issue has actually occurred. In the first week you have the alternative of a repair, substitute or a refund. Afterwards and up until thirty day you can pick a repair service or replacement and also after that, the scooter would have to be sent out to your local repair centre (they’re in the UK as well as Germany for European purchasers) at Turboant’s expenditure.
If you’re competent with a screwdriver and Allen secret, parts for repair can be sent to you so you can fit them on your own.
Should You Purchase the TurboAnt X7 Pro Electric Scooter?
Why the hell not? If you’re in the market for one, then the TurboAnt X7 Pro makes an outstanding beginning point. Easy operation incorporated with performance makes this an excellent deal, as well as absolutely something to think about as an alternative to taking the bus or car.
It could be a little light on features, however so what? You don’t always wish to mess around with applications, or multiple procedures, simply to actually begin relocating the scooter and also, consequently, yourself. It is the simpleness of the X7 Pro that makes it a prime competitor for your cash money if you’re looking for to buy a PEV like this.

After decades of denial, Chicago is officially coming to terms with its notorious history of police torture by creating an unprecedented reparations package for survivors. Passed unanimously by the City Council on Wednesday amid sobs and a standing ovation, the hard-fought, sweeping deal includes a formal apology, a $5.5 million fund for torture survivors, and other assistance ranging from counseling services to free city-college tuition for survivors and their families. As part of the new package, the city will also create a memorial and build or designate a counseling center on the city's South Side.
"We can never bring total closure," said Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel to the largest gathering of the city's torture survivors—15 men, representing scores of other known victims—and their families. "We will be there for as many tomorrows as you need as we try to heal as one city."
But for Darrell Cannon, a torture survivor who spent two decades behind bars after falsely confessing to murder charges in 1983, the opportunity for compensation is not the most important victory. Instead, topping his list is the requirement that Chicago Public Schools teach eighth and tenth graders about the city's history of torture.
"Finally, this ugly, dark chapter in the history of Chicago will now be analyzed by a lot of potentially brilliant minds," Cannon told VICE. "This is the kind of conversation that needs to be in school."
Cannon is among the more than 100 people, mostly African American men, who were violently detained and interrogated by a gang of rogue officers serving under former Chicago Police Commander Jon Burge. Detectives tried to suffocate Cannon, performed mock executions by stuffing a shotgun in his mouth, hit him with a rubber hose, and shocked his testicles with a cattle prod. These sanctioned tactics and the trauma they brought to survivors, their families, and their communities are among the most egregious cases of police misconduct in American history.
"It's a disgusting history in Chicago, but it's important that we don't forget about it," said Chicago alderman Joe Moreno, co-sponsor of the reparations ordinance. "This happened in our city—not in Iraq. In Chicago."
Making history, as the defamed Burge has done, is one matter, but writing history—especially one about torture, to be learned by Chicago teenagers—is another. An implementation team with Chicago Torture Justice Memorials will work with the city to ensure all aspects of the reparations package are met, according to Mariame Kaba, a CTJM advisory board member who also works with Chicago Public Schools on school-to-prison pipeline issues.
"History has always been a potentially radicalizing force that allows you to look back in order to look forward," said Kaba, who helped develop the 2013 pamphlet Historical Moments of Police Violence: Jon Burge and Chicago Police Torture.
A Chicago Public Schools spokesperson said in an emailed statement to VICE that the curriculum will teach eighth- and tenth-graders to make a connection between the facts surrounding the Burge torture era and the protection of civil liberties as defined in the Bill of Rights. The high school students will also "delve deeper into the Burge case, examining the implications of police accountability."
In practice, however, teaching these lessons alongside the realities many students face is fraught with systemic challenges.
"The big obstacle here is teachers aren't trained to confront these kinds of issues, and they're uncomfortable doing so," said Maureen Costello, director of Teaching Tolerance at the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC). On top of this, when it comes to civil rights education, Costello said, "There is no uniformity whatsoever and virtually no accountability. Nationally, standards vary from state to state."
According to the 2014 SPLC "Teaching the Movement" report, fewer than half of US states today include in their main curriculum any information on Jim Crow laws and only 11 states included mentions of the resurgence of the Ku Klux Klan (Illinois was not one of them). In some states, curriculum is left entirely to local districts. Other states have minimal to zero content standards for social studies curriculum.
"Marginalized students need to understand why they're marginalized, and if you pretend that they're not, and you think we haven't engineered a society in which they're marginalized, then you have no credibility," said Costello, who taught high school history for 18 years.
In Chicago, some high school kids have direct experience with law enforcement as part of their daily lives, whereas in other neighborhoods, teens are largely unexposed to police. For the latter group, the Burge torture is just a history lesson, but for many of the city's kids, the legacy of brutality isn't exactly abstract, as evidenced by the city's latest payout of $5 million to the family of 17-year-old Laquan McDonald, who police shot 16 times last October.
"There are certain dangers of teaching about egregious human rights violations by the police in the past tense," said Jamie Kalven, director of the Invisible Institute, which recently pioneered the Youth/Police Conference at the University of Chicago. "This history of this horrible saga of police torture in Chicago—it has to be paired with contemporary realities."
The rift between Chicago Police and communities of color—in part caused by the Burge torture and the city's repeated disavowal of it—will only deepen by teaching kids about what police did to their neighborhoods, according to Art Lurigio, a psychologist and criminal justice professor at Loyola University in Chicago.
"That's the last thing we need in the African American community," Lurigio said. "Your identity and views are in formation as a teen. It's going to add to anger and resentment."
But if teaching about this history causes mistrust among youth, it's well-deserved, says former investigative journalist John Conroy, who first wrote about the Burge torture cases in a Chicago Reader piece titled "House of Screams."
"The city has done nothing to stop police officers who abuse suspects from continuing to abuse suspects, not over weeks, but over years and decades," Conroy told me.
VICE talked to three Chicago high school juniors who are in the middle of their US history courses. All three testified to the lack of depth in some of their civil rights lessons. They also saw the merits of learning about the city's history of torture, but with caution.
"I feel students will respond terribly and be horrified," said Nancy Ngo, 16, of Lane Technical College Preparatory High School. "I already know how harsh police officers can be."
Gabriela Perez, 16, who has four uncles and two family friends who are Chicago Police officers, said, "They should have a high school for [the police] instead of us. We are the people that are facing the problem, and the cops are the ones that are doing that. It's not the people, but it's the cops that should learn about it."
At the only all-girls public high school in Chicago, which has a predominately African American student body, 17-year-old Gloria Purnell said, "If you're forced to learn about it, it would definitely open your eyes. I don't think the girls from our school would act differently toward the police, but they definitely have an animosity toward the police."
Illinois earned a "D" in the Southern Poverty Law Center's "Teaching the Movement" report for how it teaches the civil rights movement. Racism and resistance to the civil rights movement is not included in major curriculum documents. Failure to confront these difficult lessons is a problem, as is casting them as tales of oppression without a sense of civic engagement, according to the SPLC's Maureen Costello.
Still, as Cannon sees it, this is a major shift toward greater law enforcement accountability.
"Anytime you on the right side of the law, it feels good," Cannon added. "Now it's a new day and we will say 'Never again.'"

CHICAGO (CBS) — Two Chicago aldermen have a proposal to end the dispute over the closing of the city’s public libraries on Mondays.
As WBBM Newsradio’s Bob Conway reports, City Council Finance Committee Chairman Edward Burke (14th) and Budget Committee Vice Chairman Brendan Reilly (42nd) are calling on Chicago Public Library employees to forgo a 3.5 percent salary increase they are scheduled to receive this year, according to a Chicago Tribune report.READ MORE: 1 Dead, 2 Injured In I-57 Expressway Shooting Near 119th Street
LISTEN: WBBM Newsradio’s Bob Conway reports
The aldermen say the raise will cost the city some $1.6 million – money that could instead be used to rehire most of the 176 employees who were recently laid off and keep the libraries open all day six days a week, the Tribune reported.
Burke and Reilly suggested the move in a letter to the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees Council 31, which represents library workers, the Tribune reported. The union quickly said no.
Instead, AFSCME suggests canceling the plan to roll back the city’s head tax on jobs at larger companies, the newspaper reported.READ MORE: 101st Airborne 'Screaming Eagles' Soldiers To Help Staff United Center Mass Vaccination Site
Meanwhile, city officials continue to try to persuade the union to accept a 40-hour per week schedule that would keep the libraries open six days a week, but only for four hours on Mondays and Fridays.
The plan to close the libraries on Monday and Friday mornings when kids are in school was Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s stated plan during negotiations for his 2012 budget proposal.
Anders Lindall, a spokesman for AFSCME Council, acknowledged that the union is negotiating with the city. Buthe categorically denied that the union had forced the city’s hand.MORE NEWS: Brent Seabrook Ending Playing Career After 15 Years With Chicago Blackhawks
“Whether a reduction in hours comes for four hours on two days a week or eight hours on one day is not acceptable to people of the city who want and deserve access to their libraries at all times. They shouldn’t be forced to accept reduced access,” Lindall said last week.

GULFPORT, Miss. (AP) - A 31-year-old Gulfport woman has been charged with felony child abuse after police say she struck her 9-year-old son in the head with a bat.
The Sun Herald reports Kizzie Margaret Williams is in the Harrison County jail on a $50,000 bond pending a hearing by Judge Diane Ladner.
Police said that over the weekend deputies responded to the Gulfport home on a welfare concern and found the boy bleeding from a cut on his head. He was taken to Garden Park Hospital, where he was treated and released to the Department of Human Services.
Sheriff Melvin Brisolara said the investigation indicated the mother had struck the boy in the head with a bat.
It was unclear whether Williams had an attorney.

Idaho’s Forest Legacy Program recognizes that in order to protect all forest values and the benefits that society derives from forested lands it is first necessary to maintain those lands as forests. Idaho’s privately owned forestlands are becoming increasingly valuable and sought after for purposes other than their traditional uses.
Unfortunately, the inevitable development of this land threatens all that makes it attractive, including sustained wildlife, scenic and timber values. Idaho’s Forest Legacy Program is a tool that can be used to reconcile the desire of private landowners to capture the value of their lands without destroying the underlying values that those forests provide.

Can you bet on sports anywhere?
California: Not legal, but legislation proposed. There’s currently a proposed constitutional amendment and a pending voter referendum that could make sports gambling legal in the near future.
Where can you make online sports bets?
FanDuel Sportsbook first made its debut in New Jersey in 2018. It has since grown to become the most popular option for sports bettors in a number of legal states. The FanDuel app is among the smoothest and most user-friendly options in the industry with top highlights including its innovative same-game parlay feature.
Can I play DraftKings out of state?
First off, yes, playing daily fantasy sports online on sites like DraftKings is legal in all but ten of the 50 states (more on that below). There is no federal law that prohibits American citizens from playing on DraftKings, or FanDuel, or one of the many other daily fantasy sports sites.
Can you sports bet on FanDuel?
Available FanDuel Sports
As you can see, you can find all the most popular online sports betting markets among FanDuel sports. You can also see some sections prominently featured on the FanDuel sportsbook home page. These are Live, XFL, CBB, NBA, tennis, and NHL.
How safe is bet365?
For these reasons and more, you can be sure that this is a safe site to play at. What’s more, bet365 makes use of 128-bit SSL encryption technology to protect player data from hackers and makes use of random number generators to produce the outcomes of all virtual games.
Is BetOnline legal?
Is It Legal For BetOnline To Operate In The USA? BetOnline is one of the bigger mobile sportsbooks in the US and is indeed legal to operate in most states. BetOnline can legally operate in multiple markets because they are headquartered overseas, allowing them to offer odds regardless of a state’s regulations.
Is BetUS legal?
BetUS mainly targets American sports fans, as the name suggests, and it is perfectly legal for all Americans to sign up for an account and enjoy this sports betting site.
Is DraftKings or FanDuel better?
FanDuel has slightly larger maximum winnings than DraftKings. They will both pay out up to $1 million on NFL, NBA, MLB, college football and college basketball wagers. However, DraftKings only goes up to $250,000 for NHL and $500,000 for soccer, whereas FanDuel will offer a maximum payout of $1 million on both.
Is FanDuel legal?
First the basics: FanDuel is 100%, completely legal under federal law. Unlike playing slots online, or internet poker, fantasy sports, including daily fantasy football, baseball and basketball, is considered (by the United States government), to be a game of skill.
Can I play DraftKings in Texas?
DraftKings is challenging the opinion issued by the Texas attorney general that DFS is illegal gambling under state law. It still accepts Texas residents for real-money contests, as of the start of NFL season. While a court case is pending, DraftKings has continued to take customers in the state.
What states is FanDuel illegal in?
The states where FanDuel blocks players are: Arizona, Alabama, Hawaii, Idaho, Iowa, Louisiana, Montana, Nevada and Washington state. Again, this is a reflection of company policy regarding banned states and not a legal determination by any arm of government.

FanDuel Sportsbook Legal States
In order of launch, these are New Jersey, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Indiana, Colorado, Illinois, Iowa, Tennessee, Virginia, Michigan, Arizona, and Connecticut.

President Donald Trump signed a short-term spending bill into law Monday evening, ending a three-day shutdown and restoring funding for the federal government through Feb. 8.
As of Monday, federal agencies are open, according to a notice on the Office of Personnel Management website. Employees are expected to return for work on their next regularly scheduled work day, absent other instructions from their agencies.
“Agencies are strongly encouraged to use all available workplace flexibilities to ensure a smooth transition back to work for employees (e.g. telework, work schedule flexibilities, and excused absence for hardship situations),” OPM said.
A provision in the CR, added by unanimous consent as an enrollment correction, provides retroactive backpay for federal employees. The specific language states “employees furloughed as a result of any lapse in appropriations which begins on or about January 20, 2018, shall be compensated at their standard rate of compensation, for the period of such lapse in appropriations, as soon as practicable after such lapse in appropriations ends.”
Although the shutdown is over, this will not be the last time feds have to endure the threat or possibly the reality of a shutdown.
Here’s why: Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y), along with a number of other Democrats, agreed to support the continuing resolution with the expectation that there will be a vote on the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. The program, among other things, protects some immigrants brought to the U.S. illegally as children from being deported and makes them eligible for a renewable work permit.
Even if Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, (R-Ky.) makes good on his promise to hold a vote on the future of the DACA program, the House has agreed to no such deal. Also, in a statement prior to signing the CR, Trump said, “once the government is funded, my administration will work toward solving the problem of very unfair illegal immigration.” He added that there will be a long-term deal on immigration only if it is good for the country.” Nowhere in his statement did he mention DACA or his thoughts on the program’s future.
With that in mind, feds should at least mentally prepare for the possibility they could be caught in the political crosshairs again in three weeks. Although this time the shutdown ended far earlier than the 16-day fiasco in 2013, it’s already put another damper on morale for some employees.
Dylan McDonald with the National Park Service summed up his feelings in one word: frustrating. “I’ve dedicated my professional career towards bettering the lives of my fellow Americans, as well as visitors to our National Parks from all over the world,” McDonald said prior to Congress passing the CR. “When politicians put party ideology and partisan brinkmanship over the public welfare, they undermine the very foundations of our democracy. The divisive rhetoric erodes the faith and trust of the American public in our democratic institutions. The frustration is palpable, as the most recent elections exemplified. We need to get back to the principles of collaborative government, give and take, and compromise; not my way or the highway authoritarianism.”
Nicole Napuunoa with TSA in Honolulu said, “it is endlessly frustrating that elected officials that we trust to make decisions reflective of their constituents cannot do a basic job function, a foundational task.” She was hopeful that the shutdown would be short-lived and added that despite her frustrations she wouldn’t let them get her down.
GovLoop wants to hear from you. How did the recent shutdown impact you, and what are your thoughts on the current cycle of short-term appropriations to fund government? Share your thoughts in the comment section below.


text: I'm a huge fan of talapia and wow, this was soo good!!! I must admit, I didn't use the Ritz cracker breading, I thought it might be too sweet, so I used pita bread crackers and put them thru the coffee grinder. I didn't have a can of black beans but had some dry black beans, so I cooked them and since I didn't quite understand all of the recipe, I combined the beans with the mayo, the tomatoes, the green onions and jelapano peppers. This combo took the beans to another level! In fact, I combined all the beans with this mixture and will have it as a side with my eggs tomorrow morning!!! I had some left over potato salad that I used also as a side. What a great meal!!!

By Thomas Tang
“Children need more fun.” This is the headline that came out of the South China Morning Post seminar, The Face of HK’s Future Workforce. The audience of businesspeople, education specialists, academics and human-resources experts was overwhelmingly in support of that idea. But some in the community would take an opposing view.
It is no accident that reformists have tried to reconfigure Hong Kong’s education system to nurture creativity and originality in our children. Their attempt to veer away from the much-criticised rote-learning methods is commendable but they will face resistence to change from teachers, parents and others who have been brought up, trained in and are practising these same methods.
It is time to break away from the strictures of education models. The proper, rounded development of our children comes not just from reading books and studying hard. Outlets like sport and culture -- and the development of interests other than school, television and computer games -- are vital in instilling and reinforcing the merits of discipline, self-confidence, courage and respect for others. Our younger generation generations must realise that these social skills are part of a full life.
Who decides what is best for our children? There are many who claim to know, each with something to contribute: child psychologists, paediatricians, education specialists, family workers, teachers and parents. The Government has three separate bureaus that split among them the health and welfare, education and protection of Hong Kong’s children.
Candidates for the job of principal at an English Schools Foundation school were recently interviewed by the very students they would administer. By all accounts, the children asked probing, intelligent and wholly relevant questions. This exercise sends an unequivocal message: children can think, articulate, and make key decisions if given the opportunity.
As a signatory to the United Nations Convention of the Rights of the Child, Hong Kong is committed to promoting, advancing and ensuring children's rights. Last year, delegates reported to a UN conference on Hong Kong’s progress. A school-style report on our performance would have read: “Johnny tries hard, but could do better”.
Johnny could and should do better. The alarming results of a recent survey on children carried out by the New Century Forum, an NGO, reveal an underlying and deep-rooted malaise in our young -- highlighted by bullying, shoplifting, and taking drugs. This month, children from poor families asked the chief executive to institute 15 years of free education and better child welfare. Some 289,000 local children under the age of 15 are living in poverty.
Many countries have set up child commissions. Hong Kong has long toyed with this notion but the current wisdom is to divide this important task among various organisations. In truth we could do better by learning from the lessons of Norway, Sweden, Northern Ireland, Australia, New Zealand and the United States, where children’s commissions are responsible for after youngsters' needs -- be they education, health care or abuse and family issues.
Such a body for Hong Kong’s children would bring the many complex issues concerning children under one roof. It might not have all the answers, but it would bring together all those who care and who have the credentials to make a difference. Sure, let the children play. But don’t forget to ask them what they really think.
Dr Thomas Tang is the managing director of the Global Institute For Tomorrow.

With Parliament's proceedings being stalled by the opposition's protests over the Pegasus issue, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday slammed it for its conduct, including tearing papers and making "derogatory" remarks on the way bills have been passed, as he accused them of insulting the legislature and the Constitution.
Briefing reporters on PM Modi's speech at the BJP parliamentary party meeting, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pralhad Joshi said the prime minister expressed anger at the conduct of some opposition members and noted that those who tore papers and threw it around have remained unrepentant.
This shows their arrogance, PM Modi said and asked his party members to maintain restraint.
Meanwhile, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi led a meeting of opposition leaders this morning - the second in a week - amid disruptions and protests in parliament over the Pegasus snooping row, the handling of the pandemic, and farmers' agitation, among other issues. Today's breakfast meeting was called to discuss the option of holding a "mock parliament" outside.
Here are the LIVE updates of Parliament Monsoon Session 2021:
Rajya Sabha Chairman M Venkaiah Naidu has urged both Govt & oppn to collectively resolve present stalemate in Parliament. He held a meeting with Defence Min Rajnath Singh, HM Amit Shah, Parliamentary Affairs Min Pralhad Joshi, Leader of House Piyush Goyal last evening: Sources- ANI (@ANI) August 3, 2021
As per data available, no such trend is observed during a certain period of a particular year: MHA in Lok Sabha on whether the Govt has witnessed an increase in the number of ceasefire violations by Pakistan during a certain period of time of a year- ANI (@ANI) August 3, 2021
The opposition protest over the Pegasus snooping controversy and the contentious farm laws disrupted Lok Sabha proceedings leading to two subsequent adjournments on Tuesday.
As soon as the House assembled at 11 am, the opposition members came to the well and started sloganeering over the alleged snooping through the Pegasus software and demanding scrapping of the three farm laws enacted last year, PTI reported.
We were not called by anyone. The entire opposition is united on the issues like farm laws. Why is Centre running away from discussions? This is a govt of dictatorship: SAD leader Harsimrat Kaur Badal on party not attending Rahul Gandhi's opposition meet earlier today pic.twitter.com/f5MpMEufOW- ANI (@ANI) August 3, 2021
After a sumptuous breakfast, leaders of eleven Opposition parties spoke briefly about the importance of unity in Parliament and on the ground in the struggle against the anti-people policies & undemocratic actions of the BJP government. We are witnessing something special here. pic.twitter.com/MNtOcocMmF- Shashi Tharoor (@ShashiTharoor) August 3, 2021
The Opposition has alleged that names of several Indian politicians, journalists, lawyers, and activists have appeared on the leaked list of potential targets for surveillance by an unidentified agency using Pegasus spyware.

Paragard® is a copper intrauterine device (IUD) used by thousands of American women to provide long-term birth control. It is one of five available IUDs on the United States’ birth control market and the only one that is completely hormone-free. Given the lack of hormones, the device is quite popular.
Despite its popularity, a number of recent lawsuits allege a concerning manufacturing flaw in this small piece of plastic and copper. Dozens of women are claiming that their Paragard IUD broke before or during its removal, leaving behind chunks of copper or plastic lodged in the uterus or another organ.
To state the obvious, this is a problem. Leftover materials, whether plastic or copper, can lead to long-term health complications, such as pain and infertility. In some cases, women have required surgery to remove the broken pieces of the Paragard IUD.
Prior to 2019, the Makers of Paragard Offered No Warning
In legal filings, plaintiffs say they were not adequately warned of these risks and are seeking compensation to cover the damages.
These allegations follow a 2019 ruling by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which ordered Teva Pharmaceuticals, the makers of Paragard, to update the device’s label to include a warning that the device can get lodged inside of the body and break.
While Paragard now includes instructions for healthcare providers on how to remove the IUD, and mentions “device breakage” as a possible adverse event, it does not state how often such breakages may occur.
Specifically, Teva warns that the IUD’s copper-lined plastic threads may “retract into the uterus or break,” or it can “break, perforate the uterus, or be expelled.”
While vague, the update may prove helpful to women who are currently considering the IUD as a birth control option. The problem is that, for many women who have been using Paragard for years, the information comes much too late.
The device has been in use since the 1980s and is designed to remain inserted for up to 12 years.
How Dangerous Is Paragard?
Much of Paragard’s popularity is owed to its lack of hormonal side-effects, especially when compared to common estrogen- and progestin-based birth control alternatives.
According to adverse reports and Paragard lawsuits, the most dangerous side-effect has to do with the way the device is built, and the elevated risk of its removal. What’s tragic is that this risk was hidden from patients for years, barring them from making truly informed decisions with an accurate understanding of the device’s risks.
That Paragard may break before or during its removal is a significant enough risk to have deterred some women from ever using it. But those women were denied critical information and, through no fault of their own, may suffer injury as a result. They should not have to pay for any such injuries.
Worse yet, if a doctor is not able to retrieve the remains of a broken IUD, the patient may endure long-term pain and suffering, infertility, or organ problems, requiring surgery that may or may not be covered by their health insurance.
Such circumstances could have and should have been avoided. It should come as no surprise, then, that more than 80 Paragard lawsuits are currently pending, and lawyers expect many more to be filed in the coming months.
If a Paragard IUD device broke inside your body before or during removal in the last 3 years, contact Sokolove Law for a free consultation. Our law firm has won over $1.7 Billion for victims of defective medical devices, and we may be able to help you take legal action.

§ Yvette Cooper
[holding answer 25 October 1999]: We have funded, through our food and nutrition contract with the Health Education Authority, a variety of projects aimed at providing healthy eating choices in the workplace. The Heartbeat Award for example, encourages workplace caterers to work with local health professionals to help reduce the incidence of coronary heart disease by providing people with access to healthier food choices. Furthermore, in July this year, a video resource called "Tipping the Balance" was launched to show workplace caterers how they can make small but significant changes to their customers' favourite dishes without affecting their popularity. We are also funding a workplace catering pack, which is currently being redeveloped and will become available after pre testing in spring next year. The aim of these measures is to improve the balance of the ingredients used in dishes, and to encourage people to eat less fat and more cereals, fruit and vegetables.

Off the back of these campaign key visuals and TV commerical, we were tasked with building the associated activation.
Designing how the campaign would come to life on-trade, off-trade and in 3rd spaces, each item had to bring to life Smirnoff's new brand positioning. Touchpoints ranged from designing bartender's uniforms, coasters, bottle glorifiers, signs, retail point of sale, through to external spaces.
“We’ve been smuggled. Stolen. Dubiously traded. Concealed. Counterfeited. Widowed. Divorced. Imprisoned. Exiled. Killed off by the Russian government.
Resurrected in Constantinople. Shut down.
Resurrected in France. Bankrupted.
Resurrected in Poland. Prohibited.
Resurrected in America. Disguised, and sued.
Ours is the vodka chosen by the rascals and provocateurs. Theirs, and ours, is a timeless world of intrigue, of story, of delicious mischief. Of sharp, witty retorts, raised brows, red-lipped smirks, secret nods, and mysterious packages.”
Our on trade assets had to provide a visual disruption to stand out at the back of bar and win 1st drink. We designed a range of visibility assets to keep Smirnoff top of mind and drive purchase in-bar.
Smirnoff has had many homes over its long and checkered history. But it’s America, and more specifically Hollywood, where they found their fame. From the invention of the Smirnoff Mule in a LA Bar to the Hollywood stars that adorned their advertising, this is their spiritual home.
And so, the design of these environments had to follow a contemporary re-interpretation of the timeless glamor of a mid-century Hollywood hotel.
Once we the activation was complete, I was responsible for putting together the toolkit [guidelines] which were designed as a guide to showcase 'best in class' visibility, while growing the brand and communicating their story of becoming the most infamous spirit.
The final toolkit went out to local markets around the world, who would use this as their 'bible' to implement the Smirnoff Essentials campaign and activation in their area.

Creon’s once adamant decision to cruelly punish Antigone turns to a realization too late to stop the wheels of tragedy rolling because of his stubborn authoritarian rule. Antigone’s determination to bury her brother is discovered by Creon who banishes her in a tomb. A prophet soon later tells Creon “You plunged a child of light into the dark; entombed the living with the dead; the dead…Do not be surprised that heaven—yes, and hell—have set the Furies loose to lie in wait for you, Ready with the punishments you engineered for others” (Sophocles 239). The reason this terrifying foresight is brought upon Creon is because of his own determination for control. His desire to solidify his sense of justice by m...

- One of the greatest Greek plays is Antigone. Antigone is a tragic Sophoclean play, which portray two great examples for a tragic hero. I believe Creon and Antigone, the main characters of the play to be tragic heroes. A tragic hero is a character who is known for being dignified and has a flaw that assists to his or her downfall. Both Creon and Antigone are dignified and flawed in their own ways, having a similar tragic flaw. Antigone is very proud, liker her father Oedipus, who also happens to be a tragic hero; I guess it runs in the family.... [tags: Antigone, ]

- Antigone is a great Greek tragedy by Sophocles. The story is about a young woman who has buried her brother by breaking king’s decree, and now she is punished for obeying God’s law. There are many arguments about who is the tragic hero in Sophocles’ Antigone. Some believe that it is Creon because he also has the characteristics of a tragic hero. Others believe that it is Antigone because the play bears her name. Antigone is the perfect hero, to exemplify the meaning of a tragic hero. In order to determine whether Antigone is the tragic hero, one will have to answer the question, what is a tragic hero.... [tags: Antigone]

- The hubris resonating throughout the play, ‘Antigone’ is seen in the characters of Creon and Antigone. Their pride causes them to act impulsively, resulting in their individual downfalls. In his opening speech, Creon makes his motives clear, that “no man who is his country’s enemy shall call himself my friend.” This part of his declaration was kept to the letter, as he refused burial for his nephew, Polynices. However, when the situation arises where it is crucial that Creon takes advice, he neglects the part of the speech where he says “a king...... [tags: antigone]

- Creon’s Perspective in Oedipus Rex and Antigone The role of the king in the time of Greek tragedies was simultaneously desired and dreaded because of the king's responsibility to the people and because of the effects of the position on the king's character.

- Creon as the Hero of Antigone The dilemma of identifying the true hero, or heroine, of Sophocles’ Antigone has tortured students for years. It is indeed a difficult decision to make. The basis for this decision is what the reader perceives to be Sophocles’ dramatic issue in this play. The dramatic issue of the play is twofold: Antigone is a fanatic who is driven by her religious fever to bury the body of her criminal brother, Polyneices, against the edict of Creon. In the second part, Sophocles shows how the new King Creon’s refusal to change his decision in the face of adversity is admirable, but at the same time his political morals end up destroying his family....

- The Tragic Hero of Antigone In Sophocles' Antigone, the question of who the tragic hero actually is has been the subject of a debate for years. It is unlikely for there to be two tragic characters in a Greek tragedy, and there can be only one in the play Antigone. The king Creon possesses some of the qualities that constitute a tragic character, but does not have all of the necessary traits. Antigone, however, contains all of the aspects that are required for her to be the main character. According to Aristotle's Poetics, there are four major traits, which are required of the tragic character. The character must be a good and upstanding person. The character must focus on becoming a... [tags: Antigone essays]

The story of Antigone written by Sophocles has two characters who have a tragic flaw of pride. I will show how Creon’s pride of power leads to his destruction, and how Antigone’s pride makes her an honorable character who should be treated as a hero.

- In ancient Greece, men who died in war fulfilled the civic ideal to the utmost. The women, destined to live out a degrading life, died in bed. Certainly, not all men died in battle, but every epitaph shows in one way or another, the city would always remember the men who died in war. Additionally, not all Athenian women died in bed; nonetheless, it was left to her family to preserve the memory of her not the city.

On Saturday, a large gathering of Ugandans assembled at the Mayor\’s Gardens in Mityana District, where Hajjat Hadijah Uzeiye Namyalo Uzeiye, the Senior Coordinator in the Office of the National Chairman (ONC), launched the #JajjaOmalako #TovaKuMain2026 campaign. The ruling NRM party supporters were there to back President Museveni\’s bid for the 2026 elections.
Arriving Saturday afternoon, Hajjat Namyalo, who also serves as the Senior Presidential Advisor on Political Affairs (SPA), was accompanied by several other ONC coordinators from across the country. Her arrival was met with enthusiastic cheers from the thousands of supporters and other Mityana political leaders present.
Hajjat Namyalo, during her speech, emphasized that she had primarily come to understand the challenges faced by the people and to address these issues through her office. She encouraged the locals to utilize government programs like Emyooga and the Parish Development Model to enhance their household incomes and alleviate poverty.
While acknowledging the presence of the PDM and Emyooga programs, Hajjat Namyalo highlighted that many individuals are left out. This new campaign, she explained, aims to bridge this gap. She reassured the Mityana community of President Museveni\’s and the government\’s commitment to bettering their lives through various development initiatives.
Hajjat Namyalo also urged the attendees to continue exploring all options to generate income and assured them that President Museveni\’s \”Ekibaalo\” approach is a proven method for wealth creation among Ugandans. She encouraged the crowd to avoid opportunistic politicians and heed President Museveni\’s advice on overcoming the prevalent issue of low or no household income in the Buganda Subregion.
In addition to her commitment to the president\’s promises, Ms. Namyalo donated an array of items to the Bazzukulu, including sewing machines and hair dryers, to help women start income-generating businesses. She also promised to return to launch poultry and hybrid goat farming projects.
The event concluded with the endorsement of President Museveni\’s 2026 candidacy, signed and affirmed by various leaders.
The #TovaKuMain2026 campaign, which began in October 2022, has been steadily gaining traction as it advocates for President Museveni\’s continued leadership beyond the 2026 elections. Under Hajjat Namyalo\’s leadership, the ONC has initiated the TovaKuMain2026 campaign in several districts, including Mbale, Masaka, Bukomansimbi, Kalangala, Namutumba, and Jinja, among others. Mityana is now added to this list, with many more districts yet to join as Hajjat Namyalo continues her efforts to rally support for President Museveni\’s upcoming term.
