Mahathir's rule goes `on and on and on'
Raymond Whitaker writes from Kuala Lumpur on Malaysia's PM and his vision for the next century
Tuesday 25 April 1995
Even a general election cannot raise Malaysia's profile very much. Yesterday voters in the mountains and jungles of Sabah and Sarawak, separated by hundreds of miles of sea from the rest of Malaysia, began two days of polling. But everyone knows that by tonight, when the peninsula has had its say, the United Malays National Organisation (UMNO) and its coalition partners, who have won every election since independence in 1957, will be preparing for another five years in office. It will be an unprecedented upset if the Barisan Nasional (National Front) loses its two-thirds majority in the National Assembly.
The files of Malaysian press clippings might remain virtually empty were it not for Mahathir Mohamed, the pathologically outspoken Prime Minister. When the election was announced just over two weeks ago, Newsweek magazine shouldered the task of explaining Malaysia to its readers, devoting several pages to the transformation Dr Mahathir has brought about in what was a poor, racially divided country when he took office 14 years ago.
One symbol of that change is the huge Kuala Lumpur City Centre (KLCC) complex, the twin towers of which, Newsweek said in a caption, would be the tallest in Asia on completion. Dr Mahathir told an election meeting that the magazine refused to acknowledge that the KLCC towers would be the tallest in the world. "They are not happy that [they have] been certified taller than the World Trade Center in New York or the Sears Tower in Chicago. We do not claim to have the tallest building in the world, but the recognition was certified by an international body," he said.
This body, it turns out, is the US-based Council of Tall Buildings. His complaint encapsulates perfectly a contradiction common in developing countries, but personified in Dr Mahathir: while constantly maintaining a sense of grievance against the West, which, he said in the same speech, "does not want us to progress and live in peace and harmony," he seeks to measure his achievements by reference to it.
Ignoring the fact that Malaysia is dependent for its breakneck pace of growth on Western markets, as well as billions of dollars of Western investment, the Prime Minister is willing to risk considerable economic damage if he feels himself slighted abroad. No country is more aware of this than Britain, whose businessmen found themselves frozen out of Malaysian government contracts for several months last year in the wake of the row over aid for the Pergau dam project.
Such a thing would be impossible in Malaysia, where Dr Mahathir has used his political dominance to crush anyone seeking to thwart him. The press and television's role is to publish his endless finger-wagging attacks on the official opposition, the judiciary has been tamed and the country's traditional Malay rulers brought into line. The Internal Security Act, an unrepealed relic of colonial days that permits indefinite detention, is available for anyone who persists in opposing him.
Dr Mahathir, who is 70 or 71 this year - there is an unresolved question over his exact age - was born in Alor Setar, the centre of Malaysia's rice lands. His resentment of British colonial rule is said to date from being turned down when he applied to study law in Britain. Instead he qualified as a medical practitioner in Singapore.
But if the colonialists aroused his ire, so did his fellow Malays. Not only had they allowed the British to dominate them, he once wrote, they had yielded control of the economy to the Chinese and Indians, roughly a third and a tenth of the population respectively. His views once led to expulsion from UMNO, but by 1981 he was in a position to put them into practice.
Without Dr Mahathir, it is possible that Malaysia would have followed a similar course to India's, suffering chronic slow growth punctuated by bursts of ethnic violence such as the Malay-Chinese riots which took 200 lives in 1979.
Under his constant goading, a country which had little to recommend it 20 years ago beyond a few commodities - such as rubber, tin and palm-oil - is now the world's 19th largest trading nation. Malaysia produces its own car, the Proton, which is sold in Britain, and is the leading exporter of electronics - such as semiconductors and disk drives.
Nor is the Prime Minister finished yet: his "Vision 2020" will make Malaysia a fully developed country by that year. Dr Mahathir is unlikely to be alive then. Although he appears to have recovered fully from heart surgery in 1989, in all probability this is his last election.
But he is not expected to step down soon - speculation in Kuala Lumpur is that 1998, when several major projects will have been finished and Malaysia is due to host the Commonwealth Games, might be deemed a suitable date.
Like Margaret Thatcher, the only British Prime Minister with whom Dr Mahathir can be said to have had anything in common, he would probably like to go "on and on and on". Unlike her, he has the power to do so if he chooses.

|Big tornado in Illinois yesterday.|
I was surprised to see such a monster, but there was no good scientific reason why I was surprised
Large tornadoes are most common in the spring and early summer, and less common once you get into July. But you can still get biggies anytime of year, so this isn't so shocking.
There was a severe thunderstorm watch, but not a tornado watch in effect before the tornado formed. Just proves that severe thunderstorms can spin off tornadoes, even when forecasters think the risk of twisters is relatively low
Of course, once meteorologists detected rotation on radar, they issued a tornado warning for the area. Sometimes tornado warnings turn out to be false alarms. Not this time. So take heed whenever your area goes under a tornado warning.
The Chicago Tribune is reporting damage around the town of Cameron, Illinois, but early reports are there are no major injuries.
The tornado, as you'll see in the video below, was multi-vortex. That means there were small but intense tornadoes spinning inside the larger one.
Frequently in this video, you'll see the funnel cloud not actually touching the ground. But the tornado is there, believe me.
And while the main funnel doesn't always touch the ground, you'll see the suction vortices spinning around. (Suction vortices are the official name of those smaller tornadoes within the main one.)
Here's the video from storm chaser Kholby Martin.

Californians will now be paying almost 60 cents per gallon in taxes for their gasoline purchases—an increase of 12 cents. The increase comes after the rise of hybrid and electric vehicles has caused a decline in gas-tax revenue and left the highway trust fund short on cash. This new revenue should go towards maintaining roads and bridges, but more often then not, the money goes towards projects that are apparently more politically rewarding.

The cast of “Ang Dalawang Mrs Reyes” reunited to celebrate the success of their film with a thanksgiving party at the 9501 café in ABS-CBN today, February 23.
They were joined by ABS-CBN President and CEO Carlo L. Katigbak and Star Cinema Managing Director Olive Lamasan, who both expressed their heartfelt congratulations and gratitude for the actors and the brilliant team behind the film for putting out a fun and quality one.
Director Jun Robles Lana, producers Perci Intalan and Atty. Joji Alonso were also present at the small gathering, where everybody got to say their thoughts on their success.
Of course, lead actresses Judy Ann Santos and Angelica Panganiban were there as well and got emotional on their turn to speak.
Judy Ann thanked Star Cinema, Quantum Films, and Idea First for trusting her this sensitive film, then said that she hopes for more films like it in the future.
“Thank you for the trust, for the wonderful material. Sana may mga susunod pang ganito na makabuluhang pelikula,” said the Prime Superstar.
Angelica echoed her sentiments, but gave her speech a little twist being the Hugot Queen herself. “Thank you po kasi gusto niyo pa rin ako kahit lahat sila inayawan ako. Thank you sa inyo at pinipili niyo ko. Salamat talaga. Sana ‘wag kayo magsawa. Gagalingan ko para ‘wag niyo ipagpalit.”
But the two Kapamilya stars weren’t just talking about the film’s box office success, they also shared how much they appreciated all the love and positive feedback it’s been getting until today.
"More than sa kinita, mas more on sa reaction ng mga tao. Mas nagma-matter 'yung maganda 'yung review ng movie, madaming nakatanggap nung plot ng story. Mas nakakabigla actually 'yung walang masamang nasabi dun sa pelikula. 'Di ba sa panahon ngayon na napakaraming opinyon ng bawat isang tao. But then, mas nakita 'yung pagiging positive nung movie. 'Yung pag-tackle sa LGBT community and at the same time naging masaya 'yung reaksyon ng mga tao so mas 'yun 'yung pinaka nag-matter talaga,” said Judy Ann.
Angelica added, "Kung paano nila in-embrace, kung paano nila na-appreciate 'yung film. Actually kasama ko 'yung mga friends ko nung inulit nila, parang nakakagulat na natatawa pa din sila. 'Yung humor niya hindi nakakasawa so nakakatuwa na maraming nag-enjoy hindi lang sa isang pagpapanood, paulit-ulit nilang pinanood."
Also starring JC de Vera, Joross Gamboa, Andrea Brillantes, Carmi Martin, Nico Antonio, and Gladys Reyes, “Ang Dalawang Mrs Reyes” premiered last January 17.

Getting much closer. The finally assembly takes shape. It is a Krenov type cabinet. Maybe a disservice to the Master trying to build one out of a 2×4, but I wanted the largest piece of furniture that I could build, and this is what appeared. It has been fun.
I am trying to figure out how to complete it. The door is not attached. It is about an eighth of an inch thick. The plan was to glue a block to the inside top and bottom of the door and use finishing nails as hinge pins. The door was also supposed to have long iris type leaves jig sawn into it, but that is not going to happen. In fact, the door may just turn into a shelf do to time. In fact, it looks pretty good with out the door, and a shelf would be cool. Any suggestions?
So off to a final sanding, figure out the door/shelf dilemma, and then a few coats of oil.
Good to be back in the shop,

Do an online seek of the a lot of accepted capacity for blog posts and you’ll acquisition beatitude to be a part of the top ten. But that isn’t the way to accept of happiness. We charge to change our way of cerebration about beatitude by advancing at it through the aback aperture and allocution about unhappiness. By abutting it directly, we advance it added away. Therein lies the key. We should ask this catechism instead, “Why do we adjudge to be unhappy?”
By default, I am an able on the accountable of unhappiness. There were two women in my activity who accomplished me that getting black is a decision: My mother and earlier sister. Each of these women beheld their black lives through a lens of ‘yes, but’s.” Ever talked with anyone who you anticipate you ability be able to advice out of their accepted crisis? After the nth accomplished advancement you accept offered to boldness whatever the bind is, the being replies with a “Yes… but… ” you learn. And you stop authoritative suggestions.
The added day, aboriginal in the morning, my day banker bedmate and I were chatting. I like alert to John allocution about his canicule because they are so altered from mine. His apperception lives in the bosom of finance, the vicissitudes of the SPY, options and big business. While abundance is in my latest book I aim to complete by the fall. If John batten of Jack Ma, the name anon bent my attention. Cool name for writers consistently on the anchor for absorbing characters.
“Jack Ma?” I repeated.
“Yes, he is CEO of Alibaba [the Chinese alternation to Amazon]… alluring man. He was the abandoned being out of 24 who was denied active at KFC if the new authorization opened in his hometown in China… ” Grinning, John added, “His activity was a alternation of failures… told he wasn’t acceptable abundant to be a cop and bags of added jobs he activated for and never got.”
By now I was fascinated. This new book will cover a few glimpses of rural China… conceivably I can braid in a appearance based on this man. Consequently, I began to apprehend about Ma.
When I begin an commodity with this title, I laughed. “If you’re poor at thirty-five, you deserve it.” He sounds just like an American businessman, one from the canicule if business was respected, even lauded, like Andrew Carnegie. Or maybe Henry Ford? But no longer. It has been replaced abundantly by politicians and media pundits acceptable Americans that the government knows better: About health, morality, rights and beliefs, of late, even gender and animal ones. Consequently, account about the life of Ma, so evocative of endure aeon American capitalists was jarring.
You are poor says Ma because “you abridgement ambition.” And he defines appetite as “living a activity of abundant ideals, a arresting ambition in activity that have to be realized.”
One can accept abjection and be happy- happier than a lot of souls on the planet. John and I apperceive several men who are a part of the happiest we know. The absolute point is a simple one. Whether it’s black and poor or black and abandoned or black and angry, it’s our fault.

- Bitcoin whale transferred over $104 million for as low as $8.
- Large transactions constitute less transactional fees with crypto than with traditional methods.
Bitcoin and many other digital currencies keep winning against the traditional systems of payment, amid their ease of use in moving large amounts of money across borders. More so, the transactions with cryptocurrencies are way lesser compared to other traditional methods. Among other things, this is one of the benefits enjoyed by Bitcoin whales: cheaper transactions.
Bitcoin whale alert
On Tuesday, cryptocurrency transaction tracker Whale Alert informed the transfer of 7,748.7056 Bitcoin at 9:30:53 UTC. During the time of the transaction, the total cryptocurrencies moved were worth over about $104 million. A further glance at Blockchain.com, the Bitcoin network explorer, showed that the Bitcoin whale transaction was included in block number 655208.
The interesting part of the transaction is the menial fee of 0.00064578 BTC (approx. $8), which the Bitcoin whale had to pay to complete the transaction. So, $104 million transactions were processed at a fee lower than $10. Unarguably, a transaction of such amount would have required more than $8 to be processed with a traditional system of payments.
Cryptos constitute less transactional fee
It’s safe to say that the Bitcoin whale transaction may have required a lower fee, if not for the recent congestion of the Bitcoin network. Recently, the Bitcoin network hashrate has been declining amid the seasonal migration of miners in China. As a result, there was less computing power on the network to confirm and map transactions on the block.
Consequently, the number of unconfirmed Bitcoin transactions on Mempool surged. So, most Bitcoin users had to pay more fees to accelerate the confirmation of their transactions. Today, Bitcoin mining difficulty posted the second-largest negative adjustment ever recorded since Bitcoin history. The adjustment came in accordance with the dropping hashrate in Bitcoin’s hashrate.

The touring cricket team of Portsmouth University started raising funds months before their trip to South Africa and donated them to the Gary Kirsten Foundation.
The Portsmouth University Cricket Club (PUCC) were on tour in South Africa at the end of April 2017. While they were here they donated R 50,000.00 that they had raised months before their tour.
As part of their experience in the Mother City the group linked up with the Gary Kirsten Foundation (GKF) to assist needy communities along their travels. The enthusiastic group of students donated to help build much needed facilities.
The group raised funds by running marathons, cycling, swimming long distances and other events. They genuinely cared about giving back to the communities they visited. Anyone that was on the touring trip but was not actively playing spent time at local schools.
“The students ran clinics, helped with painting and cleaning up. It was good to see them get involved,” – Ryan Van Niekerk, GKC Coaching Director
Gary Kirsten was also impressed by the dedication and generosity of the touring cricket team. He started the foundation to improve the game of cricket in townships and build the proper facilities.
“We’ve been so encouraged by the support from PUCC and the GKF are humbled by their efforts to raise funds and awareness. Its heart warming to see what can be achieved when we work together to serve and make positive impacts in the life of others. The students of Portsmouth University who have committed to this cause are all champions in my eyes.” – Gary Kirsten

Sanctuary Policies Soundly Rejected In Two Local Ballot Initiatives
By David Jaroslav | FAIR Take | November 2019
Americans went to the polls recently in state and local elections throughout the country. In both a big liberal city in Arizona, and a small-town conservative county in New Jersey, local ballot initiatives asked voters to weigh in on sanctuary policies. And in both, sanctuary policies were defeated by wide margins.
Tucson, Arizona’s second-largest city, is also regarded as the bastion of Arizona liberalism. But that didn’t stop its voters from defeating a ballot initiative to declare it a sanctuary city by more than 71percent . On Election Day, 58,820 (71.4 percent) of Tucson’s voters opposed Prop. 205, while 23,562 (28.6 percent) voted for it.
The open-borders group, the People’s Defense Initiative (PDI), proposed the so-called “Keeping Tucson Families Free and Together” initiative, Proposition (Prop.) 205. It was filed last December and in July was approved for the ballot. Prop 205 would have prohibited the city’s agencies from participating or cooperating with immigration enforcement in any way. Specifically it barred honoring immigration detainers and immigration status inquiries, unless there were at “least two distinct factors leading to a reasonable suspicion.” Finally, the initiative included a provision that if Tucson officials did not comply with the sanctuary policy, illegal aliens could sue the city.
If passed, Prop 205 clearly would have violated the state’s anti-sanctuary law, SB 1070. As Tucson City Attorney Mike Rankin delineated in a memo to Mayor Jonathan Rothschild (D) and the city council, Prop 205 would likely lead to the state cutting off funds to the city. Moreover, its passage could present Tucson with additional financial penalties: State Representatives John Kavanagh (R-Fountain Hills), Bret Roberts (R-Maricopa), and Jay Lawrence (R-Scottsdale) announced they planned to propose new legislation which would allow victims of crimes committed by illegal aliens to sue the sanctuary jurisdiction for monetary damages.
Faced with these prospects, the mayor and all eight members of the all-Democratic city council publicly opposed the initiative. This so outraged the PDI that they sued the mayor and council claiming “electioneering.” The court determined PDI lacked standing and the suit was quickly dismissed.
FAIR’s Matthew Tragesser said “[i]t’s refreshing to see Tucson voters and council members work collectively to reject policies that undermine federal law and harbor criminal illegal aliens … Tucson’s rejected sanctuary proposition should serve as a model for other jurisdictions wishing to fight back against policies that minimize public safety and encourage more illegal immigration into communities.”
Nonetheless, state legislators haven’t taken their eyes off Tucson for any informal sanctuary policies, and have said they’re still moving forward on the civil damages bill for sanctuary victims next year.
Sussex County, New Jersey
In Sussex, the voters by a 2 to 1 margin supported an initiative that says the county freeholders should cooperate and make county resources available to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). This initiative disregards state Attorney General (AG) Gurbir Grewal’s sanctuary directive.
AG Grewal’s sanctuary directive, issued last November and effective in March, bans almost all cooperation by state and local law enforcement with federal immigration authorities. Many believe Governor Phil Murphy (D), an outspoken advocate for sanctuary policies, was the impetus for the directive and not AG Grewal.
After several heated exchanges with Grewal over the language of a proposed ballot question that would disregardthe sanctuary directive, the all-Republican Sussex County Board of Chosen Freeholders adopted its final version in August.
Sussex County Sheriff Michael Strada (R), a vigorous supporter of the county ballot question, said “I can’t let somebody walk out the front door of that jail that has a warrant for them to be detained by immigration, because anything could happen, and I don’t want that on me.” The county’s voters took his advice to heart, approving the anti-sanctuary ballot question 22,081 (66.78 percent) to 10,982 (33.22 percent).
AG Grewal immediately dismissed the result as merely expressing the county’s “views” and threatened that “[t]o the extent that any law enforcement agencies misunderstand today’s resolution and refuse to comply with the Immigrant Trust Directive, we will take appropriate action.”
But Sheriff Strada has repeatedly said he will honor ICE detainers and otherwise cooperate with federal immigration enforcement. It is possible he may now also join one of the two lawsuits filed against Grewal over the sanctuary directive, by Ocean County and by Cape May County and its sheriff, or he may file his own.

Police ranks in Regional Division Three netted a 408-gram find of cannabis sativa following an intelligence-led operation at Samaroo Dam, Pouderoyen, West Bank Demerara (WBD) yesterday.
Police say that two women,18 and 34, are the prime suspects who were arrested and detained.
When police turned up at the property, the women were present and a search of the first bedroom of the house revealed a black bulky plastic bag under the bed which contained several ziploc bags of cannabis seeds, leaves and stems. Both women were told of the suspicion, cautioned, arrested and taken to Leonora Police Station, where the narcotic was tested and weighed in their presence. Charges are expected to be laid shortly.

You can take the guy out of Chicago, but you can’t take Chicago out of the guy.
As is routine in Chicago-style machine politics, President Obama has crafted his health insurance plan in a way that rewards his supporters and punishes his political foes.
Take senior citizens, for example. They didn’t buy Obama’s act in 2008. Official exit polls showed that they were the only age group that backed Republican John McCain over Obama. McCain’s margin over Obama was actually 3 points greater than George W. Bush’s senior margin over John Kerry. Those geezers were asking for it, and Obama is giving them what they deserve (in Chicago payback terms).
Obama’s new health plan, like both the Senate and House plans that the American people have overwhelmingly rejected in national polls, is funded in large part by cutting half a trillion dollars from Medicare, which is health care for the elderly. The reduced reimbursements to medical providers will cause many of them to stop serving Medicare patients, creating a shortage of medical services to Medicare patients. Obama’s plan doesn’t provide new health care; it just takes health care away from seniors in order to give it to some of the currently uninsured. Most of the currently uninsured voted for Obama; most seniors didn’t.
Seniors are being punished in a potentially deadly way. Medicare cuts will kill them off quicker, so they can’t continue to vote against Obama.
Part of the Medicare cuts is the elimination of the Medicare Advantage program. Eliminating that program is a payoff to AARP for its endorsement of Obamacare. AARP, you see, makes most of its money from selling insurance to seniors, totally dwarfing its revenue from members’ dues. It turns out that Medicare Advantage is effectively a competitor of AARP’s own endorsed “Medigap” insurance plans. Rubbing out this competitor will result in much higher profits for AARP. Again, it’s the Chicago way.
Then there’s the voters who earn over $200,000 a year, who gave Obama a 6-point margin over McCain. Now these wealthy Americans are being spared from earlier proposals to pay for the plan by limiting their itemized tax deductions. Sending seniors to an early grave is much better in the Chicago way.
And then there’s single people vs. married people. In the 2008 election, 65% of unmarried voters backed Obama, compared to only 47% of married voters. That’s an 18-point gap. The result: Obama’s proposed return of the “marriage penalty,” by which married couples are taxed more than similarly situated singles. Under Obama’s newest health care plan, an unmarried couple who each earns up to $200,000 a year from all sources will pay no Medicare tax on their investment income. But an otherwise identical married couple will pay up to $5,700 in additional Medicare tax. Married people must be made to pay for their ill-conceived support of McCain.
It’s the Obama/Emanuel/Axelrod Chicago way.

There’s no well-stocked warehouse in the sky
Why timely contraceptive orders are critical, especially in these troubled times.
Last month, the RHSC’s Latin America and Caribbean Forum (ForoLAC) received a desperate call. A country in the region was nearly stocked out of two-rod contraceptive implants and needed 100,000 units urgently. The scramble that followed raised the curtain on an ominous reality: lead production times for many contraceptive products are at an all-time high.
The numbers are sobering. In a webinar ForoLAC hosted recently, UNFPA Procurement Specialist Mónica Lay levelled with those who had tuned in. Production time for a new generic implant is currently 32–36 weeks. Male condoms are taking four months to produce. Emergency contraception 12 months. And, this is before figuring in the time needed for administration, printing, packaging and transport, which could all add months to these already lengthy times.
The threat of extended waiting times should spur governments to get their orders in early, but that doesn’t seem to be the case. The business intelligence platform SEPREMI has recorded no government procurement of contraceptive products in any of the 15 Latin American and the Caribbean countries that contribute data to it. It is not uncommon, experts say, for countries to drag their feet till the last moment, placing urgent orders when the need becomes too large to ignore, after months of toying with the idea of completing an order. What many countries may not realize is that when they do place their orders, they may be in for a major shock.
As COVID-19 sneaked into 2020 and began to compromise supply chains everywhere, this situation continued to become increasingly tenuous. As public spending got rerouted into COVID-19 medications and personal protective equipment, new RH commodity procurement dwindled in many countries. Yes, with COVID-imposed curbs on movement and services, consumption has dwindled temporarily. But when demand grows again, unsuspecting countries stand to be rudely shocked by stockouts and growing unmet need.
Strictly speaking, this is not really breaking news. Supply constraints have been with us for more than a year and a half. Back in April 2019, the Coordinated Supply Planning group, now part of the Global FP VAN, issued a global statement, advising the RH community of critical production delays for Depo Provera-IM and the likely consequences for lead times and supply shortages. And for some time now, partners like UNFPA-PSB have published regular reminders urging countries to apply foresight and to purchase contraceptives strategically.
What can countries do?
- Avoid nasty surprises: familiarize yourself with current lead times and be in the full picture.
- Don’t wait until you see the flames before you act. Yes, COVID mitigation is a priority, but when you decide the time is right to turn your attention and resources to contraceptive security, it might well be too late.
- Don’t expect anyone to come to the rescue. Don’t plan to borrow from a neighboring country or play off one supplier against another. We’re all in this boat together.
The country in dire need mentioned at the start of this story went from pillar to post in a bid to secure supplies, and finally approached a commercial manufacturer who, fortunately, was able to provide emergency stock. They were lucky. But in times like these, luck can be thin on the ground.

Mykhailo was an excellent guide. I had only a short time (24 hours) to visit Lviv and I also wanted to hike to the highest point in Ukraine - Mt Hoverla. Mykhailo coordinated a very efficient itinerary. He collected me promptly at the airport, and with a driver we continued to the Carpathian Mountains and overnighted. Early morning I hiked to the summit. We enjoyed an excellent local lunch, then back to Lviv for a city tour. On time, he deposited me for my flight. Successful trip ! thank Mykhailo !
TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Thanks for such a good feedback! I am very happy to meet you and make tour for you. We had a great and very interesting conversation. Hope see you again in Lviv!

Today, some sources once again showed the latest high-resolution renderings of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip. Let’s take a look and recall its key features we have heard previously.
The source states that the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip is code-named ‘Galaxy Bloom’. It uses a vertical flip form factor with a punch-hole screen. The front camera is located at the top center of the screen. It supports HDR10+. With the hinge, the device can freely open the ‘cover’ at an angle between 70 and 110 degrees. The surface of the screen is covered with a special customized glass protective film. The screen size is a 6.7-inch and it adopts the Infinity Flex display. As for the resolution, it’s 2636 × 1080 pixels, and the screen aspect ratio is 22:9.
Gizchina News of the week
It is worth noting that the Galaxy Z Flip also added a sixth-generation Corning Gorilla secondary display with a size of 1.06 inches and a resolution of 300 × 116. It is located on the right side of the camera. As you guess, it will display common information as well as notify about calls or messages. In addition, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip is equipped with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 Plus flagship platform. In its turn, this chip is paired with an 8GB memory and 256GB storage. On the back, there is a 12MP main lens (f/1.8 aperture), which is accompanied by a 12MP ultra wide-angle sensor. The front-facing camera has a resolution of 10MP. The battery capacity is 3300mAh. And it does not support 5G networks.
In terms of price, some sources predict that the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip may cost 1,500 euros.

Tim Ezell, currently working as a features reporter at Fox 2 Now, has been enjoying his marital bliss with his wife, Kim Ezell, for quite some time now. The lovebirds have been together for over two decades.
Kim has been a constant beam of support in Ezell’s life, and he often acknowledges that, be it in interviews or social media posts. Did you know the couple met more than 3 decades ago?
Met More Than 30 Years Ago
The Ezell couple’s marital life has been going stronger than ever. Even after all these years, they never fail to be there for one another.
Tim and his wife met while they were working at a Walmart store around 1988. It is not known when they started dating, but the couple tied the knot in June 1998.
Ever since the duo has been enjoying their marital bliss. Furthermore, in over two decades of togetherness, the couple has welcomed three adorable children.
Their daughter, Halle Ezell, graduated from Oakville High School in July 2020. She currently plays soccer for Maryville University and has been doing well.
Their other daughter, Lexi Ezell, also went to the same high school as Halle. She graduated in June 2023. She currently studies pre-nursing at the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville, Arkansas.
Moreover, their son, Andrew Ezell, is the youngest. However, his current grades and study level remain a mystery.
Interesting Read: Chris Bassett [Chef] Facts
Kim Has Been a Constant Support to Her Husband
In August 2023, Kim’s hubby announced on the air about his diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease. He received the diagnosis two years ago, and he has shown symptoms like a lack of balance, slow-motion movement, stiffness, and fatigue.
During the show, he stated that it was a progressive disease, meaning it would get worse over time. He further said, “First and foremost, I know that God’s got this, God’s got me and he will be glorified through it.”
Throughout all this, Ezell’s wife has been a number one support. She has been by his side through all these.
Nevertheless, the Ezell couple is living their best life. Tim stated in the show,
“Today is my best day, which means each day from here on in is my best day. So I’m going to celebrate each and every one of them. Because today is all we’re promised. I’m going to walk it out and celebrate each and every one.”
So, the pair have been enjoying every phase of their lives. The kids have been doing well, and the couple must be equally proud of them.
Kim’s Husband Has Been in the Journalism Field for a Long Time
Kim’s spouse is originally from Fort Worth, Texas. He attended Louisiana State University and then graduated with his Master of Divinity in 2017 from Covenant Seminary.
Tim has been involved with FOX 2 Now’s morning beat, where he delivers his unique brand of storytelling, and this role started it all: feature reporter.
Prior to that, he left in 2014 to be a full-time pastor and then made a return to St. Louis TV with a show called The Thread. This show celebrates the amazing people of St.Louis and also highlights the great things that they have been doing in the city.
Ezell has been doing well in his job, and his wife has also been a great support to him.


High-heeled kitten killer apologizes

The high-heeled woman who shocked China's pet

The woman, a

The video was later posted on the Internet and could be downloaded for free.
It was used to attract viewers to a Website that featured videos of small

Immediately after the video was posted several weeks ago, enraged animal

Tiny Trend #9: Framing Around the Entire Site
UX Power Tools – Medium | Jon Moore
If you love it, put it in a frame
Site framing is lovely. Sometimes the frame scrolls…sometimes it doesn’t. It’s unexpected. It’s bold. It’s chunky. It’s different, and that’s okay.
Artistic license aside, it’s a great way to…well…frame the content. Go figure.
Get yourself in the right frame of mind and buckle up. Leggo.
When I’m not framing my work, I’m working on Sketch design tools at UX Power Tools to make you a better, more efficient designer.

BLEED FOR ME: ART OF THE DEATHMATCH, 28min., USA, Documentary
Directed by Matthew L. Lenz
What Does it cost to make great art? A lot of Blood apparently. This documentary follows various deathmatch wrestlers as they put their bodies on the line to make compelling art.
Interview with Filmmaker:
1. What motivated you to make this film?
It started in 2017 when my friend Christian had the idea to start holding these deathmatches in bars as a way to stand apart from other wrestling promotions. I suggested that as a means to cover our asses legally, I bring a camera and say we are shooting a documentary and that this is performance art. That way, it got around the gaming commission so the event was cheaper to produce since we didnt need to have medical personal on staff and if anyone was injured it would be covered under my production company. Loopholes are a wonderful thing. After filming the first couple shows I said, "Holy Shit, I should make a documentary"
2. From the idea to the finished product, how long did it take for you to make this film?
I starting shooting it and most of the filming was done from 2017-2020, when the pandemic hit I took the year off and fled Brooklyn after getting my Trump Bucks from the PPP loan, relocated to Florida and spent the year and all the money on drugs, Dewars, and debauchery. I sobered up after waking up in the back of a pickup truck bruised and pantless, I dont remember passing out in. I realized i needed to get my life together. After things started coming back in 2021 I remembered I had a film to finish and came back to reality and returned to New York.
3. How would you describe your film in two words!?
Brutal and Bloodthirsty.
4. What was the biggest obstacle you faced in completing this film?
The biggest obstacle was dealing with the face of the film, Casanova Valentine. He is a friend but a very destitute and destructive individual. At the time of filming he was living in a closet, in squalor, a drunk and a drug addict. We both were, but he would oversleep and miss scheduled shoots and events. Or show up hungover and unable to perform. He was dependent on me to buy him food and drugs. I dont remember filming most of the matches and events cause I was high as a kite for most of the filming. Shaky camera work isnt noticed when you are dodging light tubes, blood, and barbwire filming a fight only 5 feet from the action.
5. What were your initial reactions when watching the audience talking about your film in the feedback video?
I wanted to make this film to illustrate to people this art form they have no experience with and show the masses what crazy shit and innovative art is going down in Brooklyn. Watching the audience's reactions to the film was cute, to say the least.
6. When did you realize that you wanted to make films?
Well my name was always Lenz, so that directed my entire career path. Clients remember it. If my name was Matt Wrench, I would have been a plumber.
7. What other elements of the festival experience can we and other festivals implement to satisfy you and help you further your filmmaking career?
Pie eating contest
8. You submitted to the festival via FilmFreeway. How has your experiences been working on the festival platform site?
Easy and efficient. Streamlined the process which i appreciate
9. What is your favorite meal?
I'm not picky but i would have to go with a Beetroot & Blackberry Cured Salmon and Watercress & Celeriac Soup With Goat's Cheese Crouton. Next coarse could be a Chilled-Marinated Pork with Vietnamese Brussels Sprouts.And for dessert A Coconut Custard Tart With Roasted Pineapple would be divine.
10. What is next for you? A new film?
Find my keys, i think they are under the couch

NAIROBI, Kenya, May 5 – Deputy president William Ruto has once again told off his political critics including ODM leader Raila Odinga opposed to his church donations and claiming his contributions are ‘dirty money.’
Speaking in Wajir where he attended a harambee for the construction of a Madrassa, Ruto said that they should instead focus on their parties which they need to bring to order.
He says instead of attacking him, they should talk more on development issues which will bring needed changes to Kenyans and help them in their 2022 bid.
“I want to advise these people that they should leave Ruto alone. They should go and look for ideas and programs they can sell to Kenyans so that everyone can listen then compare with what the Jubilee Party is offering,” he stated.
He cautioned that he would continue supporting churches as his faith allowed him and stated that he will not relent in the face of any accusations.
“if they continue with this issue of Ruto, what befell then in 2017 will occur again twice over. They are talking about individual people. They do not want to talk about development issues. This is because they have no plan at all. They are focused only on rumours and I want to give the free advice. They should leave Ruto alone and organize themselves,” he stated.
Ruto’s donations to the church have been the subject of heated debate with a number of leaders questioning the source of his money.
National Assembly Majority Leader Aden Duale reiterated his sentiments saying that faith comes before any political titles.
“I am very surprised with many who call themselves Christians who say that we should not build churches and even donate money to build Mosques or even Madrassas. God tells us to build his home be it churches, Mosques or even Madrassas,” he stated.
During the meeting, other Jubilee leaders reiterated their support to the party saying they were determined to ensure that the politics of Kenya is oriented to transforming the country.
The more than 15 leaders who accompanied Deputy President William Ruto in Wajir County for the launch of various development projects said they were in Jubilee to stay.
They said the party was founded on the premise of uniting all communities and developing Kenya, and anyone seeking to bring it down “is an enemy of the people”.
The leaders included Governors Mohamed Abdi Mohamud (Wajir), Mohammed Kuti (Isiolo), MPs Aden Duale (Garissa Township), Rashid Kassim (Wajir East), Ahmed Kolosh (Wajir West), Mohammed Sheikh Omar (Wajir South), Anab Subow Gure (Woman Rep, Garissa) and Ahmed Bashane (Tarbaj).
Others were Rehema Jaldesa (Woman Rep, Isiolo), Sophia Noor (Ijara), Adan Keynan (Eldas), Christopher Nakuleu (Turkana North), Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu) and Mandera Senator Mahamud Maalim.
The leaders said it was unfortunate that some politicians had congregated to fight Ruto rather than sell their agenda to Kenyans.
“Of what value are these anti-Ruto campaigns to citizens? Common-sense dictates that you criticise your competition through issues and development programmes, not petty attacks. Even with these fights, we assure Dr Ruto of our support,” said the Wajir South MP.
The Isiolo and Wajir Governors said Northern Kenya would continue rallying behind the Deputy President “because you are there when we need you.”
They added that leaders from the region would intensify their support for Jubilee Party ahead of 2022 election and ensure Ruto succeeds President Uhuru Kenyatta.

Symbols of Love ~~ Pink is the One
Here is the second in my new Symbols of Love series. This time I used a bail that has Celtic design to it. This little heart is so delicate and has a bit of marbling (pink and white) from the fusing process. I love the delicate colors, along with the added touch of a piece of dichroic glass. I called this one, "Pink is the One". I sometimes struggle what to call things, but that jumped in my head as I was looking at it.
And here's another amulet, I called this one, "Guardian of my Heart". I saw this erethreal creature guarding the dichroic heart. Healthy imagination here. :)


the noise only happen when the engine is hot it quiet when the engine is cold

Scheduling and resource allocation for mobile broadband networks
Unlike traditional cellular networks, where voice calls dominate the network traffic, modern mobile traffic is created by of a mixture of both voice and broadband data services. The heterogeneous mixture of voice and data services in mobile broadband networks includes voice calls, web browsing, file transfers, video streaming, and social media applications. Consequently, network planning and radio resource management strategies must be aware of the quality of experience perceived by the users using various types of applications. In this report, we explore the traffic characteristics, scheduling and resource allocation strategies, and user experience models in mobile broadband networks.

Metabolism distruction caused by mind drugs and Statin drugs are known. Excessive weight in which child and adults are being punished for medication that has side effects has to stop.
The Mental Health Industry ( without medical science and based on hearsay ) is much to blame in pushing mental disorders of normal behavior and forcing mind drugs. Children including infants are being drugged.
The pharmacutical companies'and the continuous pushing of drugs like Reglan and Nexium are probmatic too.

Healthy nutrition is vital for the bodyÃÂs wellbeing. Nutrition is the process of getting the right type of food for good health and growth. It is important for the growing process, to rebuild damaged cells, and for every act from blinking an eye to running a race. To keep the body functioning properly it is necessary to have, in addition to the basic foods, a sufficient intake of other substances such as vitamins and minerals. For Example, calcium is essential for strong bones and healthy teeth, whereas iron is a necessary part of hemoglobin in the blood. Furthermore, sodium and potassium are important to maintain the fluid balance of the nervous system. In addition, magnesium is needed for the normal performance of nerves and muscles. The significance of good nutrition should not be underestimated. The most leading causes of death in the world are directly related to eating habits. For instance, in Australia, 45% of all deaths are due to poor eating habits and nutritional deficiencies.
That means they are mostly avoidable. Even the famous Hippocrates stated, "Let food be your medicine and medicine be your food."REFERENCE:http://www.healthynutritionguide.info/

HAMPSHIRE County Council’s programme of weather-proofing the areas roads is coming to Fareham.
As part of Operation Resilience – which seeks to maintain and strengthen roads – resurfacing work will be taking place in Broadcut, Fareham, next week.
Weather permitting work is set to start on Wednesday, May 16 and is expected to last for three nights.
To carry out the work safely the council said the road will be closed to traffic overnight – after and before the evening and morning rush hours.
A spokeswoman said the council apologises for any inconvenience caused while the work is undertaken.
Councillor Mel Kendal, cabinet member for environment and transport, said: ‘Good roads are a vital component of Hampshire’s infrastructure, essential for economic progress and the county’s prosperity and this is the biggest project of its kind.’

Motorsport Australia is saddened to hear of the passing of long-time Queensland official and motorsport identity Errol Bailey.
A life member of the Brisbane Sporting Car Club (BSCC), Errol made a name for himself as the Clerk of Course for rallying events across the state.
Born in 1942, Errol first piqued an interest in motorsport as a teenager where he spent years watching many rally events as a spectator, before dabbling in the sport himself.
Errol’s career as a competitor became serious in the late 1970s when he took on co-driver responsibilities for his brother in a Hillman Hunter. The duo contested the Queensland Rally Championship for a number of years, as well as rounds of the Australian Rally Championship (ARC).
It wasn’t until the 1980s when Errol took on more senior official duties, securing his first major role as the 1984 Armstrong Nissan Rally Clerk of Course – just one year after signing up as a BSCC member.
From then on, Errol was a regular on the Queensland rally scene, including working on the renowned ‘Cooloola Classic’ event as part of the Queensland Rally Championship in 1987, and directing many other rally events.
In 1990, he was appointed the Clerk of the Course for Rally Queensland – a role he held for more than two decades.
Outside of his work with Rally Queensland, Errol volunteered at a number of state and national events around the country, including the Round Australia rallies, the Australian Safari, Targa Tasmania and multiple rounds of the ARC.
Errol’s involvement in motorsport extended beyond volunteering as an official too. He was a member and eventual Chair of the Queensland Rally Advisory Panel and a delegate to the Queensland State Council of Motorsport Australia.
His contributions were recognised on numerous occasions throughout his life, having been awarded BSCC life membership in 2003 and a CAMS Service Star in 2008.
Motorsport Australia offers its condolences to the family, friends and colleagues of Errol, who is survived by wife Margaret, children Michael, Paul, Amanda and Matthew, brother Rodney and many grandchildren.


Editorial: Online delays signal strong demand
Of course, the slant on most of the news shows was that problems with computer websites and phone lines regarding signing up for “ObamaCare” meant that the program was in trouble.
Far from it.
That logjam simply meant that millions of Americans want to be included in the revised health insurance programs ... contrary to what Tea Party Republicans have been saying for months.
There is a great demand for it, and the overloaded websites and jammed phone lines that frustrated consumers were proof.
In time, of course, the sign-up problems will be sorted out ... provided that recalcitrant states get their act together and abide by the law.
Meanwhile, the ideological battle in Congress goes on, with a small minority of House Republicans able to bring the legislative process to a halt.
In Hawaii and in Oregon, computer problems stymied residents’ attempts to sign up for a second day.
The situation demonstrated what appeared to be exceptionally high interest in the new system.
The sweeping changes under the Affordable Care Act include federal subsidies to make insurance more affordable for low-income consumers and preventing health insurance companies from denying coverage to people with pre-existing conditions. That will open the door for coverage to many people who have been locked out of the insurance market.
In California, home to 15 percent of the nation’s uninsured, officials took down the enrollment portion of the Covered California website for emergency upgrades.
It was restored at mid-morning Wednesday, and 7,770 people had started applications by then.
The Obama administration hopes to sign up 7 million people in the first year, and eventually cover at least half of the nearly 50 million uninsured Americans through government-subsidized plans and a Medicaid expansion.

Looking for a challenge? Well it's certainly not here.
But I wish I hadn't.
You play as a lone predator removing any evidence of the Alien species that has crash landed on Earth. Hordes of Xenomorph warriors and human soldiers do battle with each other and you if they get the chance. While you deal with these foes you must also (or so the tutorial says) use a solvent to dissolve any dead facehuggers you may find, however this is just a big waste of time, just like the whole combat system. To blunt: you won't be challenged for a second. Exp is always readily available and it is spent on upgrades whether you like it or not and you are massively overpowered against virtually everything that moves anyway.
If you get stuck in the game a big shiny triangle appears on a wall telling you to break it, removing any remote chance of puzzle solving and creativity.
The graphics in Requiem are ok but could be a whole lot better considering the psp's engine, and the music is repetitive and gets on your nerves after a while and the scenery is dull and also repetitive.
The enemies you face come in 3 flavours: soldiers, aliens and spikey aliens. That's it (civilians don't count). And no, other than a choppa there are zero boss fights.
All that being said you do get to be a Predator with cool technology (but you won't use it) and you get to choose what path you take, like through the forest or sewers (but it all leads to the same ending (and it's disappointing)).
In the end Aliens vs Predator: Requiem is a rather mediocre game and you may as well spend your time doing something useful (like spelling swear words on a calculator) than playing this.

Big plays on both sides of the ball paved the way for Hillsboro’s 20-0 win over Smoky Valley Friday at Joel H. Wiens Stadium.
The win moves the Trojans to 5-0 overall and 3-0 in the North Division of the Central Kansas League while the Vikings fell, 3-2 and 2-1.
“We knew this was the stretch where we needed to get better,” coach Lance Sawyer said. “The kids fought hard the whole game and we played pretty well.”
It appeared in the first half that neither team would find a way to score. Smoky Valley came close on its first possession, driving from its 37-yard line all the way to the Trojan 5 before Hillsboro shut the Vikings down.
But lightning—personified by Shaq Thiessen—struck twice with less than three minutes left in the half.
On first down at the Trojan 26, Hillsboro quarterback Tyler Proffitt unleashed a bomb down the Smoky Valley sideline that Thiessen snagged over the head of his defender, then ran the final yards for the 74-yard touchdown. Jesse Brown’s kick made it 7-0 with 2:29 showing.
Six plays into Smoky’s next possession, Viking quarterback Ethan Loder fired a pass downfield, but Thiessen picked it off near midfield and ran it back all the way to the Viking 1-yard line.
Proffitt scored the touchdown one play later and Brown followed with another PAT kick to make it 14-0 with 1:06 left in the half. A stunned Viking squad could only run out the clock with the hope of regrouping for the second half.
“That changed the momentum of the entire game,” Sawyer said of Thiessen’s two plays. “I thought it took Smoky Valley and put them down.”
Proffitt gave the Vikings a lift when he threw a pass into the hands Smoky’s Holden Hendricks five plays into the third quarter to give the Vikings the ball at the Trojan 13.
But Hillsboro returned the favor moments later when Brown stepped in front of a Viking receiver at the goal line and snagged Loder’s pass over the middle.
After the Trojans went three-and-out, Smoky Valley set up camp at their own 24. Loder then fumbled on the first play of the possession. Hillsboro defensive end Josh Wiebe picked up the football and ran 19 yards for the score with 7:43 left in the third quarter. Brown missed the kick but Hillsboro led 20-0.
The remainder of the game turned out to be a series of missed opportunities by both teams. Brown intercepted Loder two more times, while Proffitt lost a fumble with the Trojans threatening in the red zone.
Late in the game, it appeared the Vikings might break the shutout when they drove from their own 20 to the Trojan 6 in 14 plays. But Evan Ollenburger intercepted Loder —this time in the end zone with 3:45 to play—to snuff out the Vikings’ hopes.
The final score was about the only stat where Hillsboro held a clear advantage on offense. The two teams played to a stalemate with 216 yards of total offense for Hillsboro and 215 for Smoky Valley. Both teams managed 11 first downs.
“We had a lot of mistakes,” Sawyer said about his offense. “We have a lot of things to clean up this week before we play Remington.”
Hillsboro’s six defensive takeaways were the difference in the game.
“We knew they were physical,” Sawyer said. “We played well to stop their offense. It’s big to get that goose egg. It’s great for those kids and their confidence is going to be high.”
Coming—Hillsboro will host Remington (0-5) for Friday’s homecoming game at Joel H. Wiens Stadium. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m.
