Lajovic lost his eighth consecutive match that stretched to five sets.
5:10 p.m.
Serena and Venus Williams have won their first Grand Slam doubles match in nearly two years.
The sisters moved into the second round of the French Open by coming back for a 4-6, 6-4, 6-1 victory over the 14th-seeded J apanese
pairing of Shuko Aoyama and Miyu Kato in front of a Court 3 crowd that raucously supported the Americans.
The Williams-Williams duo last competed at a major tournament together at Wimbledon in 2016. They won their 14th Grand Slam title in
women's doubles at the All England Club.
This return to doubles came a day after Serena Williams participated in Grand Slam singles for the first time in 16 months, winning her
first-round match at Roland Garros. Venus Williams lost in the first round of singles on Sunday.
3:50 p.m.
Jeremy Chardy first wasted a two-set lead and then bounced back to beat 17th-seeded Tomas Berdych to reach the second round of the
French Open.
Chardy led by two sets when their match was stopped by darkness on Tuesday, but Berdych mounted a comeback when they returned.
Chardy played well in the decider and broke Berdych twice to advance with a 7-6 (5), 7-6 (8), 1-6, 5-7, 6-2 win.
“At two sets all, it was difficult in my head, and physically, too," said Chardy, who had never beaten Berdych in five previous matches. "I
fought hard, all my body was shaking."
3:25 p.m.
Former French Open champion Novak Djokovic posted another straight-set win to reach the third round of the clay-court tournament.
Facing Spanish qualifier Jaume Munar, the Serb delivered a solid display to prevail 7-6 (1), 6-4, 6-4 and move into the third round for the
13th time.
Djokovic, who underwent right elbow surgery earlier this year, is the 20th-seeded player in Paris, his lowest Grand Slam seeding since the
2006 U.S. Open.
3:10 p.m.
The Williams sisters are back in Grand Slam doubles action for the first time in nearly two years.
A day after Serena Williams made her return to singles play at a major following a 16-month absence, winning her first-round match at the
French Open, she is out on Court 3 at Roland Garros alongside her older sister, Venus.
They are facing the 14th-seeded pairing of Shuko Aoyama and Miyu Kato of J apan.
The American siblings, owners of 14 Grand Slam doubles titles, received a wild-card entry. They haven't played doubles together at a major
since winning Wimbledon in 2016.
Serena Williams hadn't competed at any Grand Slam tournament since the Australian Open in J anuary 2017. She gave birth to a daughter
last September.
1:20 p.m.
Marco Trungelliti's long, strange trip as a French Open "lucky loser" has come to an end with a second-round exit.
Trungelliti is the 190th-ranked Argentine who headed home to Barcelona after losing in qualifying at Roland Garros, then drew headlines for
making the 10-hour, 650-mile (1,000-kilometre) drive back to Paris in a rental car with his 88-year-old grandmother, mother and brother once
he found out he could get into the main draw.
He then won his first-round match.
But Trungelliti was beaten Wednesday by 72nd-ranked Marco Cecchinato of Italy 6-1, 7-6 (1), 6-1 in a match that lasted just under 2 hours.
Still, Trungelliti leaves with 79,000 euros (about $90,000) in prize money a€” and a great story to tell.
12:50 p.m.
Top-ranked Simona Halep put aside a terrible start and came back to claim 12 of the last 14 games, beating 83rd-ranked Alison Riske of the
United States 2-6, 6-1, 6-1 to reach the second round of the French Open.
It was the last match of the tournament's opening round.
Halep, the runner-up at Roland Garros in 2014 and a year ago, played poorly in the first set, with only four winners and 16 unforced errors.
But she had 16 winners and 12 unforced errors the rest of the way, while Riske made more and more mistakes.
8:25 p.m.
Reigning U.S. Open champion Sloane Stephens did not waste any time reaching the third round of the French Open, and her clinical display
impressed former U.S. Davis Cup captain Patrick McEnroe.
Stephens, who did not play in Paris last year because of a foot injury, advanced at the clay-court Grand Slam with a 6-2, 6-2 win over
qualifier Magdalena Frech.
"J ust FYI. Sloane Stephens is winning this tournament," McEnroe tweeted after Stephens wrapped up her match in a litte bit more than one
hour.
Stephens had 17 winners to 13 unforced errors and did not face a break point.
7:55 p.m.
Caroline Wozniacki dropped just 25 points in her lopsided 6-1, 6-0 win over qualifier and Roland Garros debutant Georgina Garcia Perez of
Spain, as the second-ranked Dane easily advanced to the third round of the French Open.
Wozniacki delivered a ruthless performance on Court Philippe Chatrier, limiting her mistakes to eight unforced errors. She did not face a
break point and completed the win in 51 minutes. She put on a similar display in her opening match, hitting only 13 unforced errors in a
straight-set victory.
Wozniacki won her first Grand Slam trophy at the Australian Open this year and can return to the No. 1 ranking held by Simona Halep by
winning the title in Paris.
7:30 p.m.
The French Open is Sam Querrey's least successful Grand Slam tournament and the American bowed out early again as this year's No. 12
seed.
He was beaten 1-6, 7-6 (3), 6-4, 6-1 by Gilles Simon of France in the second round.
Querrey hadn't even won a single match at Roland Garros since 2014 until beating Frances Tiafoe in the first round.
Querrey has been as far as the third round in Paris just once in 12 appearances.
6:50 p.m.
A young American man trying an underhanded serve while cramping during a five-setter at the French Open. Hmmmm. Seen that before,
haven't we? Except, unlike for 1989 champion Michael Chang, the unusual strategy didn't help result in a victory for J ared Donaldson
against Grigor Dimitrov.
The fourth-seeded Dimitrov came back to beat the 21-year-old Donaldson 6-7 (2), 6-4, 4-6, 6-4, 10-8 in a second-round marathon that lasted 4
hours, 19 minutes on Court 18 at Roland Garros.
When it ended, Dimitrov leaned forward while raising each knee to give it a kiss 4€” perhaps thanking his legs for carrying him to the win
while Donaldson's gave way.
Donaldson, who is ranked 57th, was actually two points from winning when he led 6-5 in the fifth and got to love-30 on Dimitrov's serve. But
Dimitrov took the next four points to hold for 6-all.
Dimitrov broke to lead 8-7 and served for the victory, but Donaldson broke right back.
In the next game, though, Donaldson could barely stand, let alone move well.
He double-faulted. Then he tried an underhand serve a€” not his first of the match, either 4€” and lost the point.
Dimitrov hit a winner to break for a 9-8 edge, Donaldson slowly limped to the sideline for the changeover, and soon enough, it was over.
Chang famously used an underhand service motion while cramping during a fourth-round win against Ivan Lendl on the way to the French
Open title 29 years ago.
6:30 p.m.
Kei Nishikori has rallied past local favourite Benoit Paire to reach the third round of the French Open for the fourth consecutive year.
The 19th-seeded J apanese player needed nearly three hours on Court Philippe Chatrier to win 6-3, 2-6, 4-6, 6-2, 6-3 against the Frenchman.
“He was attacking every shot," Nishikori said. "He has one of the best touches on the Tour, it was fun to play him and also a difficult match
today."
6:15 p.m.
Second-seeded Alexander Zverev trailed by a set and a break a€” and was down a broken racket, too 4€” before eventually collecting
himself and coming back to beat 60th-ranked Dusan Lajovic of Serbia 2-6, 7-5, 4-6, 6-1, 6-2 in the French Open's second round.
Zverev equaled his best showing at Roland Garros; he also reached the third round two years ago.
If the 21-year-old German is going to get to the round of 16 he'll need to do something he never has at a Grand Slam tournament: defeat a
12:30 p.m.
Two-time Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova is through to the third round of the French Open, making light work of 91st-ranked Lara
Arruabarrena of Spain in a 6-0, 6-4 win on Court 1.
The eighth-seeded Kvitova lost in the second round last year when she was coming back to the tour after a knife attack in her home in 2016
that left her needing surgery on her left hand, her playing hand.
The Czech player made the semifinals at Roland Garros in 2012.
12:20 p.m.
Simona Halep has turned things around in her first-round match at the French Open and is headed to a third set against 83rd-ranked Alison
Riske of the United States.
After dropping the first set 6-2 at Court Philippe Chatrier, Halep grabbed 19 of the first 22 points en route to a 5-0 lead in the second, which
she eventually took 6-1.
Halep, the runner-up at Roland Garros in 2014 and a year ago, cleaned up her game in the second set, with only five unforced errors after
making 16 in the opener. Riske, meanwhile, had only two winners and 12 unforced errors in the second set.
12 p.m.
Top-seeded Simona Halep is in trouble in her weather-delayed first-round match at the French Open, losing the first set 6-2 to 83rd-ranked
Alison Riske of the United States.
Riske raced to a 5-0 lead and then broke Halep again in the eighth game to take the set.
In their only previous meeting on clay, in Rome in 2015, Halep dropped only three games in a 6-3, 6-0 victory. But Riske is giving the
Romanian a far tougher test this time.
11:20 a.m.
Play is underway on Day 4 of the French Open, with top-seeded Simona Halep facing 83rd-ranked Alison Riske of the United States in the
last remaining match of the women's first round.
The encounter on Court Philippe-C hatrier was postponed from Tuesday amid gathering evening storms.
Halep, a two-time finalist at Roland Garros, needs to reach the semifinals or better this year to have a chance of holding onto her No. 1
ranking. She won both of her previous matches against Riske.
On the men's side, 2016 champion Novak Djokovic will face qualifier ] aume Munar of Spain in the second round.
The second-seeded players in both the men's and women's draws, Alexander Zverev and Caroline Wozniacki, will also be in action.

Reigning U.S. Open champion Sloane Stephens did not waste any time reaching the third round of the French Open, and her clinical display
impressed former U.S. Davis Cup captain Patrick McEnroe.
Stephens, who did not play in Paris last year because of a foot injury, advanced at the clay-court Grand Slam with a 6-2, 6-2 win over
qualifier Magdalena Frech.

The French Open is Sam Querrey's least successful Grand Slam tournament and the American bowed out early again as this year's No. 12
seed.
He was beaten 1-6, 7-6 (3), 6-4, 6-1 by Gilles Simon of France in the second round.
Querrey hadn't even won a single match at Roland Garros since 2014 until beating Frances Tiafoe in the first round.

A young American man trying an underhanded serve while cramping during a five-setter at the French Open. Hmmmm. Seen that before,
haven't we? Except, unlike for 1989 champion Michael Chang, the unusual strategy didn't help result in a victory for J ared Donaldson
against Grigor Dimitrov.
The fourth-seeded Dimitrov came back to beat the 21-year-old Donaldson 6-7 (2), 6-4, 4-6, 6-4, 10-8 in a second-round marathon that lasted 4
hours, 19 minutes on Court 18 at Roland Garros.
When it ended, Dimitrov leaned forward while raising each knee to give it a kiss 4€” perhaps thanking his legs for carrying him to the win
while Donaldson's gave way.
Donaldson, who is ranked 57th, was actually two points from winning when he led 6-5 in the fifth and got to love-30 on Dimitrov's serve. But
Dimitrov took the next four points to hold for 6-all.
Dimitrov broke to lead 8-7 and served for the victory, but Donaldson broke right back.
In the next game, though, Donaldson could barely stand, let alone move well.
He double-faulted. Then he tried an underhand serve a€” not his first of the match, either 4€” and lost the point.
Dimitrov hit a winner to break for a 9-8 edge, Donaldson slowly limped to the sideline for the changeover, and soon enough, it was over.
Chang famously used an underhand service motion while cramping during a fourth-round win against Ivan Lendl on the way to the French
Open title 29 years ago.
6:30 p.m.
Kei Nishikori has rallied past local favourite Benoit Paire to reach the third round of the French Open for the fourth consecutive year.
The 19th-seeded J apanese player needed nearly three hours on Court Philippe Chatrier to win 6-3, 2-6, 4-6, 6-2, 6-3 against the Frenchman.
“He was attacking every shot," Nishikori said. "He has one of the best touches on the Tour, it was fun to play him and also a difficult match
today."
6:15 p.m.
Second-seeded Alexander Zverev trailed by a set and a break a€” and was down a broken racket, too 4€” before eventually collecting
himself and coming back to beat 60th-ranked Dusan Lajovic of Serbia 2-6, 7-5, 4-6, 6-1, 6-2 in the French Open's second round.
Zverev equaled his best showing at Roland Garros; he also reached the third round two years ago.

Reigning U.S. Open champion Sloane Stephens did not waste any time reaching the third round of the French Open, and her clinical display impressed former U.S. Davis Cup captain Patrick McEnroe.
Stephens, who did not play in Paris last year because of a foot injury, advanced at the clay-court Grand Slam with a 6-2, 6-2 win over qualifier Magdalena Frech.
"Just FYI. Sloane Stephens is winning this tournament," McEnroe tweeted after Stephens wrapped up her match in a little bit more than one hour.
Stephens had 17 winners to 13 unforced errors and did not face a break point.

7:55 p.m.
Caroline Wozniacki dropped just 25 points in her lopsided 6-1, 6-0 win over qualifier and Roland Garros debutant Georgina Garcia Perez of Spain, as the second-ranked Dane easily advanced to the third round of the French Open.
Wozniacki delivered a ruthless performance on Court Philippe Chatrier, limiting her mistakes to eight unforced errors. She did not face a break point and completed the win in 51 minutes. She put on a similar display in her opening match, hitting only 13 unforced errors in a straight-set victory.
Wozniacki won her first Grand Slam trophy at the Australian Open this year and can return to the No. 1 ranking held by Simona Halep by winning the title in Paris.

7:30 p.m.
The French Open is Sam Querrey's least successful Grand Slam tournament and the American bowed out early again as this year's No. 12 seed.
He was beaten 1-6, 7-6 (3), 6-4, 6-1 by Gilles Simon of France in the second round.
Querrey hadn't even won a single match at Roland Garros since 2014 until beating Frances Tiafoe in the first round.
Querrey has been as far as the third round in Paris just once in 12 appearances.

A young American man trying an underhanded serve while cramping during a five-setter at the French Open. Hmmmm. Seen that before, haven't we? Except, unlike for 1989 champion Michael Chang, the unusual strategy didn't help result in a victory for Jared Donaldson against Grigor Dimitrov.
The fourth-seeded Dimitrov came back to beat the 21-year-old Donaldson 6-7 (2), 6-4, 4-6, 6-4, 10-8 in a second-round marathon that lasted 4 hours, 19 minutes on Court 18 at Roland Garros.

Zverev equaled his best showing at Roland Garros; he also reached the third round two years ago.
If the 21-year-old German is going to get to the round of 16 he'll need to do something he never has at a Grand Slam tournament: defeat a player ranked in the top 50. Zverev's next match comes against 26th-seeded Damir Dzumhur.
Lajovic lost his eighth consecutive match that stretched to five sets.

Serena and Venus Williams have won their first Grand Slam doubles match in nearly two years.
The sisters moved into the second round of the French Open by coming back for a 4-6, 6-4, 6-1 victory over the 14th-seeded Japanese pairing of Shuko Aoyama and Miyu Kato in front of a Court 3 crowd that raucously supported the Americans.
The Williams-Williams duo last competed at a major tournament together at Wimbledon in 2016. They won their 14th Grand Slam title in women's doubles at the All England Club.
This return to doubles came a day after Serena Williams participated in Grand Slam singles for the first time in 16 months, winning her first-round match at Roland Garros. Venus Williams lost in the first round of singles on Sunday.

3:50 p.m.
Jeremy Chardy first wasted a two-set lead and then bounced back to beat 17th-seeded Tomas Berdych to reach the second round of the French Open.
Chardy led by two sets when their match was stopped by darkness on Tuesday, but Berdych mounted a comeback when they returned. Chardy played well in the decider and broke Berdych twice to advance with a 7-6 (5), 7-6 (8), 1-6, 5-7, 6-2 win.
"At two sets all, it was difficult in my head, and physically, too," said Chardy, who had never beaten Berdych in five previous matches. "I fought hard, all my body was shaking."

3:25 p.m.
Former French Open champion Novak Djokovic posted another straight-set win to reach the third round of the clay-court tournament.
Facing Spanish qualifier Jaume Munar, the Serb delivered a solid display to prevail 7-6 (1), 6-4, 6-4 and move into the third round for the 13th time.
Djokovic, who underwent right elbow surgery earlier this year, is the 20th-seeded player in Paris, his lowest Grand Slam seeding since the 2006 U.S. Open.

3:10 p.m.
The Williams sisters are back in Grand Slam doubles action for the first time in nearly two years.
A day after Serena Williams made her return to singles play at a major following a 16-month absence, winning her first-round match at the French Open, she is out on Court 3 at Roland Garros alongside her older sister, Venus.
They are facing the 14th-seeded pairing of Shuko Aoyama and Miyu Kato of Japan.
The American siblings, owners of 14 Grand Slam doubles titles, received a wild-card entry. They haven't played doubles together at a major since winning Wimbledon in 2016.
Serena Williams hadn't competed at any Grand Slam tournament since the Australian Open in January 2017. She gave birth to a daughter last September.

Marco Trungelliti's long, strange trip as a French Open "lucky loser" has come to an end with a second-round exit.
Trungelliti is the 190th-ranked Argentine who headed home to Barcelona after losing in qualifying at Roland Garros, then drew headlines for making the 10-hour, 650-mile (1,000-kilometre) drive back to Paris in a rental car with his 88-year-old grandmother, mother and brother once he found out he could get into the main draw.
He then won his first-round match.
But Trungelliti was beaten Wednesday by 72nd-ranked Marco Cecchinato of Italy 6-1, 7-6 (1), 6-1 in a match that lasted just under 2 hours.
Still, Trungelliti leaves with 79,000 euros (about $90,000) in prize money — and a great story to tell.

12:50 p.m.
Top-ranked Simona Halep put aside a terrible start and came back to claim 12 of the last 14 games, beating 83rd-ranked Alison Riske of the United States 2-6, 6-1, 6-1 to reach the second round of the French Open.
It was the last match of the tournament's opening round.
Halep, the runner-up at Roland Garros in 2014 and a year ago, played poorly in the first set, with only four winners and 16 unforced errors. But she had 16 winners and 12 unforced errors the rest of the way, while Riske made more and more mistakes.

12:30 p.m.
Two-time Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova is through to the third round of the French Open, making light work of 91st-ranked Lara Arruabarrena of Spain in a 6-0, 6-4 win on Court 1.
The eighth-seeded Kvitova lost in the second round last year when she was coming back to the tour after a knife attack in her home in 2016 that left her needing surgery on her left hand, her playing hand.
The Czech player made the semifinals at Roland Garros in 2012.
___
12:20 p.m.
Simona Halep has turned things around in her first-round match at the French Open and is headed to a third set against 83rd-ranked Alison Riske of the United States.
After dropping the first set 6-2 at Court Philippe Chatrier, Halep grabbed 19 of the first 22 points en route to a 5-0 lead in the second, which she eventually took 6-1.
Halep, the runner-up at Roland Garros in 2014 and a year ago, cleaned up her game in the second set, with only five unforced errors after making 16 in the opener. Riske, meanwhile, had only two winners and 12 unforced errors in the second set.
___
12 p.m.
Top-seeded Simona Halep is in trouble in her weather-delayed first-round match at the French Open, losing the first set 6-2 to 83rd-ranked Alison Riske of the United States.
Riske raced to a 5-0 lead and then broke Halep again in the eighth game to take the set.
In their only previous meeting on clay, in Rome in 2015, Halep dropped only three games in a 6-3, 6-0 victory. But Riske is giving the Romanian a far tougher test this time.
___
11:20 a.m.
Play is underway on Day 4 of the French Open, with top-seeded Simona Halep facing 83rd-ranked Alison Riske of the United States in the last remaining match of the women's first round.
The encounter on Court Philippe-Chatrier was postponed from Tuesday amid gathering evening storms.
Halep, a two-time finalist at Roland Garros, needs to reach the semifinals or better this year to have a chance of holding onto her No. 1 ranking. She won both of her previous matches against Riske.
On the men's side, 2016 champion Novak Djokovic will face qualifier Jaume Munar of Spain in the second round.
The second-seeded players in both the men's and women's draws, Alexander Zverev and Caroline Wozniacki, will also be in action.

A NEW group, Muslims for Marriage E quality, has been established this week to build support for the a€ yesa€™ campaign in the upcoming
postal survey on marriage equality.
The group will bring together a diverse cross-section of Muslims to advocate for equal rights within the Muslim community and provide
support to sex, gender and sexually diverse Muslims throughout the course of the campaign.
The founding of Muslims for Marriage Equality follows the endorsement of the a€°yesa€™ campaign by Melbourne-based Imam Nur
Warsame and the national advocacy group Muslims for Progressive Values.
Group founder Fahad Ali is a community activist and former peer educator with the AIDS Council of New South Wales.
&€ceThere is a diversity in belief and opinion on equal marriage within the Muslim community,a€¢ said Ali.
&€ceThe notion that all Muslims are opposed to equal rights for same-sex couples is absolutely incorrect. There is a strong thread of
egalitarianism and social justice within the Qura€™ an and we think that it is very applicable to the question of same-sex marriage.a€*
In addition to advocacy work, Muslims for Marriage E quality is offering temporary postal addresses to anyone who cannot have their ballot

Police found a 9mm pistol, a pocket knife and explosives on Araujo’s body. The other victims, who were all adults, included Isamara’s 33-year-old brother Rafael.
Liliane Ferreira, who was hosting the party, was killed along with five of her relatives.
Her husband was wounded and remains in hospital.
Araujo left an audio message on his mobile phone apologising and blaming his ex-wife.
He was a government scientist at the National Center for Research in Energy and Materials and had studied at prestigious universities.
Friends have been left shocked by his actions.
One wrote online: “He’s always been wonderful. We grew up together.
“You can not believe he did such outrage. He was an example of a person.”

NEW DELHI: The government plans to revise the regulatory framework for airports as well as look at having multiple aerodromes in metros
as part of long-term efforts to boost capacity amid rising passenger numbers.
Minister of State for Civil Aviation J ayant Sinha today said the main challenges are airport and airspace capacities. An appropriate
framework for the next 15 to 20 years would be worked out under NABH (NextGen Airports for Bharat) Nirman, Sinha said, adding that
capacity needs to be built ahead of demand. Revising regulatory framework for airports, strengthening of Airports Authority of India (AAI),
forging partnerships with states, having multiple airports in metros and boosting air navigation system to manage crowded airspace would
be the key aspects under the initiative, he said.
A Request for Proposal (RFP) has been issued for a detailed study to understand the demand and capital requirements for NABH Nirman.
"We have done a lot of preliminary work. We want to have a detailed study city by city... that will give us demand forecast, traffic forecast
city by city for major airports, financing requirements," Sinha told reporters here.
According to him, there is a need to have very high quality digital airspace management to accommodate the diversity of flying equipment
as well. "We are going to see a situation where we continue to grow 12 to 15 per cent in volume terms," he added. India is one of the fastest
growing aviation markets in the world. The minister noted that there are commercially viable airports as well as non-viable ones.
Financing options would be looked at for viable and non-viable airports under the initiative, he added. In his budget speech, Finance
Minister Arun J aitley had said, "We propose to expand our airport capacity more than five times to handle a billion trips a year under a new
initiative - NABH (NextGen Airports for Bharat) Nirman.
Balance sheet of AAI shall be leveraged to raise more resources for funding this expansion". About funding sources, AAI Chairman
Guruprasad Mohapatra said various options, including bank financing, masala bonds and external commercial borrowing would be looked
at. In the next financial year, he said terminal buildings projects worth over Rs 20,000 crore would be started. To a query, Sinha said various
aspects related to seaplanes are being studied.

Video calls for medical purposes can save people a trip to the hospital, but setting up such a system can be fraught with technical issues.
Regular video call platforms lack the high security needed to safeguard sensitive patient information. Often, they also suffer from a lag or
poor picture quality.
Higher-end systems, on the other hand, tend to require some investment in infrastructure and for both parties to be at fixed locations -
meaning that patients may still have to travel a short distance for their consultations.
This is why the national video consultation system announced last week by the Integrated Health Information Systems could prove to be a
game changer.
It allows people to log on with their computers in the comfort of their own homes, or even on the go using a smartphone application.
Related Story Video consultations rolled out to cut hospital trips
The system also makes use of two-factor authentication and end-to-end encryption - both of which are considered part of the recipe for
secure communication online.
Six public healthcare institutions have agreed to join the project. More, including private ones, could come on board later.
With pilot projects beginning as far back as 2005, Singapore's telemedicine journey has come a long way - yet there is the sense that this is
just the start of the journey.
Video call consultations are hardly mainstream now, but if the problem of Singapore's overcrowded hospitals and specialist outpatient
Clinics is to be solved, they will have to be.
That is not to say that the human touch is being forsaken. Video consultations will never replace a first visit to a doctor.
Rather, having a reliable virtual system in place to deal with less serious cases will hopefully mean more face time for the patients in the
clinics, who often need it more.

SINGAPORE: The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) issued a consultation paper with proposals to simplify the authorisation process
and regulatory framework for venture capital (VC) managers on Wednesday (Feb 15).
Currently, VC managers are subject to the same regulatory framework as other fund managers. However, MAS said at a briefing that
differences between VC managers and fund managers make some rules less relevant.
Announcing the review of regulations for VC managers last year, Deputy Prime Minister and MAS chairman Tharman Shanmugaratnam had
noted that VC funds and fund managers were typically smaller in size and headcount than traditional asset managers, and contribute to the
economy in a different way by supporting entrepreneurship in Singapore and the region.
MAS capital markets assistant managing director Lee Boon Ngiap said the proposed simplified regime a€cerecognises the lower risk they
pose, given their business model and sophisticated investor basea€*.
Under the simplified authorisation process, MAS will no longer require VC managers to have directors and representatives with at least five
years of relevant experience in fund management. Instead, the regulator said it would focus primarily on ensuring the VC managers are fit
and proper.
MAS also proposed to simplify the regulatory framework so new and existing VC managers will no longer need to be subject to the same
capital requirements and business conduct rules as other fund managers.
Mr Lee said the proposed changes a€cewill allow new VC managers a faster time-to-market and reduce their ongoing compliance burden.
We hope this will attract more VC managers to spur them to play a greater role in supporting entrepreneurship and innovation".
Still, the central bank said it was important that the VC industry remained sound, had good governance and adequate controls against
financial crime, and upheld high standards of integrity.
MAS will continue to require VC managers to comply with anti-money laundering obligations and retain regulatory powers to deal with
errant VC managers.
There are currently 30 VC fund managers in Singapore that provide capital and expertise to businesses that are in the start-up or early
growth phases.
While the industry has been growing at a healthy rate, MAS said there was still room to further expand the size and scope of VC funding
available for startups. The simplification of the authorisation process and regulatory framework for VC managers is also part of the
regulator's support for the Committee on the Future Economy's (CFE) recommendations announced last week.
The public consultation will last until Mar 15, and MAS said it hoped to roll out the changes by J uly this year.

WASHINGTON (The Washington Post) -
Monday, March 19, 2018 at 6:43 pm |
President Donald Trump returns to the White House via Marine One in Washington, Monday. (Reuters/Leah Millis)
President Donald Trumpa€™s attorneys have provided the special counsela€™s office with written descriptions that chronicle key
moments under investigation in hopes of curtailing the scope of a presidential interview, according to two people familiar with the situation.
Mr. Trumpa€™s legal team recently shared the documents in an effort to limit any session between the president and special counsel
Robert Mueller to a few select topics, the people said. The lawyers are worried that Mr. Trump, who has a penchant for making erroneous
claims, would be vulnerable in an hours-long interview.
The decision to share materials with Muellera€™ s team is part of an effort by Mr. Trumpa€™s lawyers to minimize his exposure to the
special counsel, whom the president recently attacked in a series of tweets.
Mr. Trump has told aides he is 4€cechamping at the bita€* to sit for an interview, according to one person. But his lawyers, who are carefully
negotiating the terms of a sit-down, recognize the extraordinarily high stakes.
As part of his investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election, Mueller is probing whether Mr. Trumpa€™s campaign
coordinated with Russia and whether the president obstructed justice by trying to block the investigation. In particular, his team is focused
on Mr. Trumpa€™ s firing of his national security adviser and the FBI director, according to people familiar with the inquiry.
The president has denied any wrongdoing, calling the investigation a 4€cewitch hunt.a€*
Behind the scenes, his lawyers are moving into what one adviser called a€cecrunchtime,a€* reviewing the likely questions Muellera€™ s
team will have for the president.
In preparation, Mr. Trump on Monday brought on another lawyer, hiring former U.S. attorney J oseph diGenova to join his personal legal
team.
J ohn Dowd, an attorney for the president, declined to comment on any records provided to the special counsel.
&€oeWe have very constructive, productive communications with the special counsel and his colleagues,a€¢ he said in an interview Friday.
a€ceWea€™ re blessed to have them,a€* Dowd said of the conversations with Muellera€™ s team. a€cel think ita€™ s helpful to them and of
course I think ita€™ s very helpful to us.a€*
Peter Carr, spokesman for the special counsela€™ s office, declined to comment.
The written materials provided to Muellera€™s office include summaries of internal White House memos and contemporaneous
correspondence about events Mueller is investigating, including the ousters of national security adviser Michael Flynn and FBI Director
James Comey. The documents describe the White House players involved and the presidenta€™ s actions.
Special counsel investigators have told Mr. Trumpa€™s lawyers that their main questions about the president fall into two simple
categories: 4€ceWhat did he do? 4€* and a€ceWhat was he thinking when he did it? a€*
Mr. Trumpa€™s lawyers expect Muellera€™s team to ask whether Mr. Trump knew about Flynna這s communications with Russian
Ambassador Sergey Kislyak during the presidential transition, for example, and what instructions, if any, the president gave Flynn about
the contact, according to two advisers.
Mr. Trump said in February that he fired Flynn because he had misled Vice President Mike Pence about his contact with Kislyak. He said he
fired Comey because he had mishandled an investigation of Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.
The records do not include Mr. Trumpa€™ s personal version of events but provide a narrative of the White House view, the people said. Mr.
Trumpa€™ s lawyers hope the evidence eliminates the need to ask the president about some episodes.
DiGenova, whose addition to Mr. Trumpa€™ s legal team was first reported by the New York Times, declined to comment on the role he will
play.
Now the head of a law firm with his wife, Victoria Toensing, diGenova served as an independent counsel who investigated whether former
president George H.W. Busha€™ s staff looked at former president Bill Clintona€™ s passport files during the 1992 presidential campaign.
His hiring, pushed by Trump attorney J ay Sekulow, was delayed briefly to ensure that diGenovaa€™s work for the president would not
conflict with his firma€™ s other clients. Toensing represents Mark Corallo, a former spokesman for Mr. Trumpa€™ s legal team.
a€ceFormer U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia J oe diGenova will be joining our legal team later this week,a€* Sekulow said in a
statement.a€* | have worked with J oe for many years and have full confidence that he will be a great asset in our representation of the
President.a€*
DiGenova and Mr.Trump share the view that a faction inside the FBI sought to frame Mr. Trump. In February, diGenova criticized FBI
Director Christopher Wray and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein for trying to withhold the names of FBI officials from a
controversial GOP House committee memo that called out their roles in seeking a surveillance warrant of a former Trump campaign aide.
In 1997, DiGenova wrote a column in the Wall Street J ournal arguing that the Constitution allows for the indictment of a sitting president.
The legal question has never been tested in court. Many scholars have argued the Constitution prohibits criminally charging a president,
leaving impeachment as the only avenue to hold a president accountable for legal violations until he or she leaves office. Mr. Trumpa€™ s
own legal team has made that argument. Many experts believe a controlling J ustice Department opinion prohibits Mueller, technically a

The president has denied any wrongdoing, calling the investigation a 4€cewitch hunt.a€*
Behind the scenes, his lawyers are moving into what one adviser called a€cecrunchtime,a€* reviewing the likely questions Muellera€™ s
team will have for the president.
In preparation, Mr. Trump on Monday brought on another lawyer, hiring former U.S. attorney J oseph diGenova to join his personal legal
team.
J ohn Dowd, an attorney for the president, declined to comment on any records provided to the special counsel.
&€oeWe have very constructive, productive communications with the special counsel and his colleagues,a€¢ he said in an interview Friday.
a€ceWea€™ re blessed to have them,a€* Dowd said of the conversations with Muellera€™ s team. a€cel think ita€™ s helpful to them and of
course I think ita€™ s very helpful to us.a€*
Peter Carr, spokesman for the special counsela€™ s office, declined to comment.
The written materials provided to Muellera€™s office include summaries of internal White House memos and contemporaneous
correspondence about events Mueller is investigating, including the ousters of national security adviser Michael Flynn and FBI Director
James Comey. The documents describe the White House players involved and the presidenta€™ s actions.
Special counsel investigators have told Mr. Trumpa€™s lawyers that their main questions about the president fall into two simple
categories: 4€ceWhat did he do? 4€* and a€ceWhat was he thinking when he did it? a€*
Mr. Trumpa€™s lawyers expect Muellera€™s team to ask whether Mr. Trump knew about Flynna這s communications with Russian
Ambassador Sergey Kislyak during the presidential transition, for example, and what instructions, if any, the president gave Flynn about
the contact, according to two advisers.
Mr. Trump said in February that he fired Flynn because he had misled Vice President Mike Pence about his contact with Kislyak. He said he
fired Comey because he had mishandled an investigation of Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.
The records do not include Mr. Trumpa€™ s personal version of events but provide a narrative of the White House view, the people said. Mr.
Trumpa€™ s lawyers hope the evidence eliminates the need to ask the president about some episodes.
DiGenova, whose addition to Mr. Trumpa€™ s legal team was first reported by the New York Times, declined to comment on the role he will
play.
Now the head of a law firm with his wife, Victoria Toensing, diGenova served as an independent counsel who investigated whether former
president George H.W. Busha€™ s staff looked at former president Bill Clintona€™ s passport files during the 1992 presidential campaign.
His hiring, pushed by Trump attorney J ay Sekulow, was delayed briefly to ensure that diGenovaa€™s work for the president would not
conflict with his firma€™ s other clients. Toensing represents Mark Corallo, a former spokesman for Mr. Trumpa€™ s legal team.

DiGenova and Mr.Trump share the view that a faction inside the FBI sought to frame Mr. Trump. In February, diGenova criticized FBI
Director Christopher Wray and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein for trying to withhold the names of FBI officials from a
controversial GOP House committee memo that called out their roles in seeking a surveillance warrant of a former Trump campaign aide.
In 1997, DiGenova wrote a column in the Wall Street J ournal arguing that the Constitution allows for the indictment of a sitting president.

WASHINGTON (The Washington Post) -

President Donald Trump’s attorneys have provided the special counsel’s office with written descriptions that chronicle key moments under investigation in hopes of curtailing the scope of a presidential interview, according to two people familiar with the situation.
Mr. Trump’s legal team recently shared the documents in an effort to limit any session between the president and special counsel Robert Mueller to a few select topics, the people said. The lawyers are worried that Mr. Trump, who has a penchant for making erroneous claims, would be vulnerable in an hours-long interview.
The decision to share materials with Mueller’s team is part of an effort by Mr. Trump’s lawyers to minimize his exposure to the special counsel, whom the president recently attacked in a series of tweets.
Mr. Trump has told aides he is “champing at the bit” to sit for an interview, according to one person. But his lawyers, who are carefully negotiating the terms of a sit-down, recognize the extraordinarily high stakes.
As part of his investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election, Mueller is probing whether Mr. Trump’s campaign coordinated with Russia and whether the president obstructed justice by trying to block the investigation. In particular, his team is focused on Mr. Trump’s firing of his national security adviser and the FBI director, according to people familiar with the inquiry.
The president has denied any wrongdoing, calling the investigation a “witch hunt.”
Behind the scenes, his lawyers are moving into what one adviser called “crunchtime,” reviewing the likely questions Mueller’s team will have for the president.
In preparation, Mr. Trump on Monday brought on another lawyer, hiring former U.S. attorney Joseph diGenova to join his personal legal team.
John Dowd, an attorney for the president, declined to comment on any records provided to the special counsel.
“We have very constructive, productive communications with the special counsel and his colleagues,” he said in an interview Friday.
“We’re blessed to have them,” Dowd said of the conversations with Mueller’s team. “I think it’s helpful to them and of course I think it’s very helpful to us.”

Is Brexit the maddest thing England has ever done? Not quite. In its very long history 4€“ much longer than most political entities can claim
a€“ there is just one episode that is more thoroughly unhinged. It is interesting because it is remembered in England as glorious even
though it was morally, politically and economically disastrous. And in this it prefigures the only chapter in English history that comes close
to matching its tragic folly a€“ Brexit itself.
At the Tory party conference last October, J acob Rees-Mogg issued a rallying cry that linked Brexit to the great triumphs of English arms
on continental Europe: 4€ceWe need to be reiterating the benefits of Brexit!a€* he cried. 4€ceOh, this is so important in the history of our
countrya€! Ita€™ s Waterloo! Ita€™ s CrA @cy! Ita€™ s Agincourt! We win all these things !a€*
Waterloo might best be left aside, since it was won by an alliance of European armies. But CrA@cy and Agincourt, two of the great English
victories over the French in the 14th century, were indeed remarkable feats of arms a€“ on both occasions the French military aristocracy
was virtually wiped out.
The evocation of CrA@cy and Agincourt as forerunners of Brexit is, however, problematic in two ways. One is that they were English
victories but Scottish defeats a€“ the Scots were firmly allied with the French.
The other is that they were part of one of the great criminal follies of European history, the so-called Hundred Years War, the repeated
English invasions of France that unleashed on innocent civilians mass murder, mass rape, theft on a staggering scale and an orgy of
destruction. It brought nothing but horror and misery. And all in the failed pursuit of a mad idea.
Claiming to be kings
On J anuary 26th, 1340, the English king Edward Ill stood on a platform in the marketplace of Ghent in Flanders. It was bedecked with new
banners commissioned from the workshops of Antwerp, showing the arms of England quartered with those of France. And from that
platform Edward declared himself King of France. A Florentine merchant who was there asked some of the locals what they thought. The
better sort, he reported, thought the whole thing 4€cepuerilea€». But for almost half a millennium, until 1802, the English monarchs would go
on claiming to be kings of France.
This reminds us of one of the great problems of Brexit: saving face
Edward was not mad. He knew the claim wasna€™ t real. He made it because he was in dispute with the actual French monarchy about the
feudal status of his own vast holdings in the southwest of the country, the duchy of Aquitaine. He needed the support of the Flemings, but
they were also feudal subjects of the French monarchy. They couldna€™t support him unless he declared that he was in fact king of
France. So he did.
This reminds us, though, of one of the great problems of Brexit: saving face. People a€“ and states a€“ dona€™t act merely out of
self-interest. There are times when they make claims they know to be daft. But they cana€™ t find a way to back down.
The claim that the English monarch was king of France started out as a way of dealing with an immediate political problem, just as Brexit
has its origins in David Camerona€™s strategy for dealing with internal dissent in the Tory party. It, too, was thought of as a kind of
deliberate overreach: Edward, like the less extreme of the Brexiters, thought he was making an exaggerated gesture that could be easily
bargained away in later negotiations.
But neither Edward nor his successors could find the right means to step down from the platform that he constructed in Ghent in 1340.
Appalling consequences
The consequences were appalling. The invasions of France cost English lives and sucked up English resources. They disrupted and at
times destroyed the trade with Flanders and France that had been so important to the English economy.
The insatiable demand for taxation to pay for them very nearly destroyed the English state in the Peasanta€™ s Revolt of 1381. But for the
ordinary people of France, the Low Countries, Spain and Italy (all of which were drawn into the conflict) the suffering was immense and
seemingly interminable.
The fabulous English military victories at CrA @cy and Agincourt, at Sluys and Poitiers, did not end the war. As J onathan Sumption puts it in
his magnificent (and still ongoing) multivolume history of the Hundred Years War, they simply a€ceunderlined the essential unimportance of
battles as a means of achieving anything of long-term significancea€s,
The English state could not hold conquered territory for long or sustain a large standing army. Its solution was one that would appeal to
most of the free market ultras behind Brexit: the war was privatised and outsourced to gangsters.
They stormed towns, raping and killing at will
Sumption (interestingly, now a member of the UKa€™s supreme court) calls the English strategy a€ceterrorism on a great scalea€*.
Warlords were unleashed on the general population. Edward himself described these men as a€ceoutiaws, criminals, murderers, thievesa€e.
The English knight Sir Thomas Gray called them a€cea horde of yobsa€e.
They stormed towns, raping and killing at will. They enslaved men and women. They held anyone they thought had money for ransom and
tortured them until their families paid up. They stole everything that could be moved and destroyed most of what could not. When they had

But even the official English armies were savage. The great Italian poet Petrarch, travelling through the area south of Reims a few months

Suffering
This was as all as glorious as the exploits of J oseph Kony in Uganda or Charles Taylor in Sierra Leone in our time. And for what? At the end
of all the suffering, English power in France had all but disappeared, the possessions that Edward Ill had started out with permanently lost
to his successors.
The saving grace of Brexit is that it is, so far, a largely bloodless affair. (J 0 Cox being its one direct victim.) Even the worst Brexit will be
nothing like the catastrophe of the Hundred Years War. But there are perhaps two meaningful parallels. One is the power of the big gesture.
The English claim to the throne of France and the grand rhetoric of Brexita€™ s revival of the glorious Englishness of Agincourt are bold
and thrilling as well as being bonkers 4€“ they stir the blood even while they numb the brain. The other is that these grand gestures are far
easier to make than to unmake.
It is astonishing how much pain people will suffer and inflict rather than admit they made a mistake. Brexit is not the Hundred Years War,
but unless someone finds a way out it now, the consequences will be felt for a century.
Is Brexit the maddest thing England has ever done? Not quite. In its very long history 4€“ much longer than most political entities can claim
a€“ there is just one episode that is more thoroughly unhinged. It is interesting because it is remembered in England as glorious even

Is Brexit the maddest thing England has ever done? Not quite. In its very long history – much longer than most political entities can claim – there is just one episode that is more thoroughly unhinged. It is interesting because it is remembered in England as glorious even though it was morally, politically and economically disastrous. And in this it prefigures the only chapter in English history that comes close to matching its tragic folly – Brexit itself.
At the Tory party conference last October, Jacob Rees-Mogg issued a rallying cry that linked Brexit to the great triumphs of English arms on continental Europe: “We need to be reiterating the benefits of Brexit!” he cried. “Oh, this is so important in the history of our country… It’s Waterloo! It’s Crécy! It’s Agincourt! We win all these things!”
Waterloo might best be left aside, since it was won by an alliance of European armies. But Crécy and Agincourt, two of the great English victories over the French in the 14th century, were indeed remarkable feats of arms – on both occasions the French military aristocracy was virtually wiped out.
The evocation of Crécy and Agincourt as forerunners of Brexit is, however, problematic in two ways. One is that they were English victories but Scottish defeats – the Scots were firmly allied with the French.
The other is that they were part of one of the great criminal follies of European history, the so-called Hundred Years War, the repeated English invasions of France that unleashed on innocent civilians mass murder, mass rape, theft on a staggering scale and an orgy of destruction. It brought nothing but horror and misery. And all in the failed pursuit of a mad idea.
Claiming to be kings
On January 26th, 1340, the English king Edward III stood on a platform in the marketplace of Ghent in Flanders. It was bedecked with new banners commissioned from the workshops of Antwerp, showing the arms of England quartered with those of France. And from that platform Edward declared himself King of France. A Florentine merchant who was there asked some of the locals what they thought. The better sort, he reported, thought the whole thing “puerile”. But for almost half a millennium, until 1802, the English monarchs would go on claiming to be kings of France.
This reminds us of one of the great problems of Brexit: saving face
Edward was not mad. He knew the claim wasn’t real. He made it because he was in dispute with the actual French monarchy about the feudal status of his own vast holdings in the southwest of the country, the duchy of Aquitaine. He needed the support of the Flemings, but they were also feudal subjects of the French monarchy. They couldn’t support him unless he declared that he was in fact king of France. So he did.
This reminds us, though, of one of the great problems of Brexit: saving face. People – and states – don’t act merely out of self-interest. There are times when they make claims they know to be daft. But they can’t find a way to back down.
The claim that the English monarch was king of France started out as a way of dealing with an immediate political problem, just as Brexit has its origins in David Cameron’s strategy for dealing with internal dissent in the Tory party. It, too, was thought of as a kind of deliberate overreach: Edward, like the less extreme of the Brexiters, thought he was making an exaggerated gesture that could be easily bargained away in later negotiations.
But neither Edward nor his successors could find the right means to step down from the platform that he constructed in Ghent in 1340.
Appalling consequences
The consequences were appalling. The invasions of France cost English lives and sucked up English resources. They disrupted and at times destroyed the trade with Flanders and France that had been so important to the English economy.
The insatiable demand for taxation to pay for them very nearly destroyed the English state in the Peasant’s Revolt of 1381. But for the ordinary people of France, the Low Countries, Spain and Italy (all of which were drawn into the conflict) the suffering was immense and seemingly interminable.
The fabulous English military victories at Crécy and Agincourt, at Sluys and Poitiers, did not end the war. As Jonathan Sumption puts it in his magnificent (and still ongoing) multivolume history of the Hundred Years War, they simply “underlined the essential unimportance of battles as a means of achieving anything of long-term significance”.
The English state could not hold conquered territory for long or sustain a large standing army. Its solution was one that would appeal to most of the free market ultras behind Brexit: the war was privatised and outsourced to gangsters.
They stormed towns, raping and killing at will
Sumption (interestingly, now a member of the UK’s supreme court) calls the English strategy “terrorism on a great scale”. Warlords were unleashed on the general population. Edward himself described these men as “outlaws, criminals, murderers, thieves”. The English knight Sir Thomas Gray called them “a horde of yobs”.
They stormed towns, raping and killing at will. They enslaved men and women. They held anyone they thought had money for ransom and tortured them until their families paid up. They stole everything that could be moved and destroyed most of what could not. When they had stripped an area of everything, they moved on to the next set of victims – all in the name of the English “king of France”.
But even the official English armies were savage. The great Italian poet Petrarch, travelling through the area south of Reims a few months after the passage of the English army through it, wrote: “Everywhere was grief, destruction, desolation, uncultivated fields filled with weeds, ruined and abandoned houses…” Shakespeare, in Henry V, dramatises the greatest of the English warrior kings, but slips in an accurate description of the fate of civilians at the hands of his country’s armies.
Henry warns the people of Harfleur what will happen if they do not surrender: “look to see/ The blind and bloody soldier with foul hand/ Defile the locks of your shrill-shrieking daughters;/ Your fathers taken by the silver beards,/ And their most reverend heads dash’d to the walls,/ Your naked infants spitted upon pikes”.
Suffering
This was as all as glorious as the exploits of Joseph Kony in Uganda or Charles Taylor in Sierra Leone in our time. And for what? At the end of all the suffering, English power in France had all but disappeared, the possessions that Edward III had started out with permanently lost to his successors.
The saving grace of Brexit is that it is, so far, a largely bloodless affair. (Jo Cox being its one direct victim.) Even the worst Brexit will be nothing like the catastrophe of the Hundred Years War. But there are perhaps two meaningful parallels. One is the power of the big gesture.
The English claim to the throne of France and the grand rhetoric of Brexit’s revival of the glorious Englishness of Agincourt are bold and thrilling as well as being bonkers – they stir the blood even while they numb the brain. The other is that these grand gestures are far easier to make than to unmake.
It is astonishing how much pain people will suffer and inflict rather than admit they made a mistake. Brexit is not the Hundred Years War, but unless someone finds a way out it now, the consequences will be felt for a century.

APR FC coach J immy Mulisa has said he will be aiming to keep the winning impetus that his team has built since he took over in November
last year. The league champions finished 2016 in a second place on the league table, two points behind arch-rivals Rayon Sports.
The former Rwanda international took charge of his former club on November 30 last year, replacing Yves Rwasamanzi, who had been
appointed interim coach following the sacking of Gilbert 'YaoundA ©' Kanyankore less than a month into the job.
Despite a modest start under Rwasamanzi during which the military side managed eight points from four games (two wins and two draws),
Mulisa remains unbeaten after registering six wins and a draw.
On Friday, the army side, chasing a record-extending 16th league title, ended the year in style when they ended Espoir FC's unbeaten run in
a 2-0 win away in Rusizi, courtesy of goals from Djihad Bizimana and Patrick Sibomana.
The win kept Mulisa's team within touching distance on the leaders Rayon Sports, who also remain unbeaten after eleven rounds of
matches (nine wins and two draws).
“It was not a good start for the team as the defending champions but we have managed to get back on track," said Mulisa after Friday's win
at a ground where visiting teams rarely pick a win.
The ex-professional added that, "I think since | have been here, we have built a winning momentum while at the same time playing good
football for our fans to enjoy. | can't remember the last time we didn't play well, but we have to stay focused and keep the momentum
going."
Apart from the league, Mulisa and APR will also have the CAF Champions League, which starts in February as well as the Peace Cup.
The Rwanda side has been drawn against Zambia's Zanaco FC in the preliminary round and will play the first leg away on the weekend of
February 10-12 at Sunset stadium in Lusaka before hosting the return leg in Kigali a week later.
“My ambition is clear, | want to reach the group stages of this competition (CAF Champions League), | believe in my team and | am very
happy that the players are responding well to the philosophy | am trying to build here," he said recently.
Since they made their debut in Africa's biggest club competition in 1997, APR have never reached the group stages whereas their
opponents Zanaco reached the last 16 in 2010, their best record so far.

BOISE, Idaho a€” Thank goodness it didna€™ t stay in Vegas.
An Idaho man says his new 8-week-old puppy appears happy and healthy despite being flown across the country to the wrong airport a€”
landing in Las Vegas and Salt Lake City before finally arriving in his arms Sunday.
Owner Josh Schlaich had vented his frustration with Delta Air Lines on Facebook when the white and brindle puppy failed to arrive
Saturday as scheduled and he was unable to get any answers by phone.
According to Delta, the dog left Richmond, Virginia, and was due to fly into Boise on Saturday evening, connecting in Detroit and
Minneapolis. But Delta said the dog wasna€™ t going to make its connecting flight, so it was sent to a kennel in Detroit for the night.
Sunday morning, the puppy was flown to Minneapolis a€” but then Delta said it a€cemisrouteda€ the puppy and it ended up in Las Vegas.
The puppy was then put on a plane to Salt Lake City, finally making it to Boise on Sunday night.
Delta said the puppy was given food and water and let out of its crate periodically throughout the journey.
In his Facebook post, Schlaich said he received a call from someone at the Delta terminal in Detroit about his doga€™ s whereabouts, but
then he got the runaround.

A— Delta flies 8-week-old puppy to Vegas, Salt Lake City before he finally made it home to Boise
BOISE, Idaho a€” Thank goodness it didna€™ t stay in Vegas.
An Idaho man says his new 8-week-old puppy appears happy and healthy despite being flown across the country to the wrong airport a€”
landing in Las Vegas and Salt Lake City before finally arriving in his arms Sunday.
Owner Josh Schlaich had vented his frustration with Delta Air Lines on Facebook when the white and brindle puppy failed to arrive
Saturday as scheduled and he was unable to get any answers by phone.
According to Delta, the dog left Richmond, Virginia, and was due to fly into Boise on Saturday evening, connecting in Detroit and
Minneapolis. But Delta said the dog wasna€™ t going to make its connecting flight, so it was sent to a kennel in Detroit for the night.
Sunday morning, the puppy was flown to Minneapolis a€” but then Delta said it a€cemisrouteda€ the puppy and it ended up in Las Vegas.
The puppy was then put on a plane to Salt Lake City, finally making it to Boise on Sunday night.
Delta said the puppy was given food and water and let out of its crate periodically throughout the journey.
In his Facebook post, Schlaich said he received a call from someone at the Delta terminal in Detroit about his doga€™ s whereabouts, but
then he got the runaround.
&€oeWas then given the number of the boarding facility 4€” a disconnected line. Was not given a call back number by Detroit person, and
the customer service would not give me their direct line. Tried calling Delta Cargo customer service, only to be yelled at by the rep and
hung up on. No idea where my dog is, or what conditions hea€™ Il be placed under for the next 24 or more hours. Dona€™ t know when he
will come into Boise tomorrow. No idea who to call. Absolutely ridiculous customer service.a€*
After Delta responded, Schlaich posted two updates to say the dog was delivered and safe.

BAE Systems to Deliver Vehicle Mounted Mortar Systems to Swedish Army
(Source: BAE Systems; issued Dec 23, 2016)
BAE Systems has received a 575 million SEK ($68 million) contract for the installation of vehicle mounted mortar systems on Swedish Army
CV90 Infantry Fighting Vehicles.
The installation of the companya€™ s mortar system, known as MjA{lIner, on 40 CV90s will considerably increase the indirect fire capability
of the vehicles to support mechanized battalions.
&€ceThe delivery of the MjA{Iner solution to the Swedish Army allows it to field a capability well adapted for the CV90 while enhancing the
fleeta€™ s firepower,4€* said Tommy Gustafsson-Rask, managing director of BAE Systems HAxgglunds.
MjA{lner is the hammer of Thor in Norse mythology. The contract was issued by the Swedish Defence Materiel Administration (FMV), with
first deliveries scheduled to take place in the first quarter of 2019.
CV90 is a family of Swedish tracked combat vehicles designed for FMV by BAE Systems HAxgglunds and BAE Systems Bofors, which
provides the vehiclea€™ s turrets. More than 4.5 million engineering hours has contributed to the development of this advanced vehicle.
The Swedish version is outfitted with a turret equipped with a 40mm autocannon.
The Swedish Army has more than 500 CV90s. Earlier this year, BAE Systems was awarded a contract to refurbish 262 of the vehicles,
including survivability, turret, and combat system performance upgrades. Adding the mounted mortar systems addresses another priority
that helps increase the vehiclesa€™ lifespan in support of Army capabilities.
Denmark, Estonia, Finland, the Netherlands, Norway, and Switzerland also operate CV90s.

Milwaukee Balleta€™ s Genesis @ Pabst Theatre, Feb. 16-19
The contestants chosen from 54 international submissions for Genesis , the prestigious choreographic competition held by Milwaukee
Ballet every other winter, have already won. Enrico Morelli, Mariana Oliveira and George Williamson have each been invited to make a new
work with the companya€™s excellent dancers and production team, and to see it performed four times before an excited Milwaukee
audience and a distinguished national panel of experts. Each will receive a cash award, including one determined by audience vote, and
one will receive a commission to create a second world premiere here next year. Morelli (Italian), Williamson (British) and Oliveira (Brazilian
American), all young but with impressive track records, talked about the dances theya€™ re making.
Morelli: a€celta€™ s a piece about people living at this time in history when ita€™ s really hard to speak with other people. The first part is
more violent and shouted; the second more intimate and whispered in terms of the movement and the music. The first music is from Adrien
Casalis, a really young French composer. The second is Frederic Chopin. la€™ m trying to work from the tenderness of that music.a€*
Oliveira: a€celta€™ s based on Leoncavalloa€™ s opera Pagliacci , the story of a clown artist descending into madness. The music is by
Charlie Chaplin for his movie The Circus , which has the same idea as Pagliacci, the love triangle. Ita€™ s very playful and funny in the
beginning but by the end ita€™ s very dark and emotional. Ita€™ s such an amazing story!a€*
Williamson: a€cela€™ m sort of facilitating the dancersa€™ creativity. The idea is a journey people take over years and yearsa€”multiple
journeys being seen at the same time that go from a supernatural place to a more human one. The music is electronic at the beginning,
classical at the end. Classical sounds are more human, | think.a€* (J ohn Schneider)

&€oes pyinga€s on friends, classmates and just your ordinary people on the streets of her New York City Upper East Side neighborhood. The
Lincoln Center for the Artsa€™ Ivory Hall is where up-and-coming actors will be presenting a live take on this storya€” adapted for the stage

Milwaukee Balleta€™ s Genesis @ Pabst Theatre, Feb. 16-19
The contestants chosen from 54 international submissions for Genesis , the prestigious choreographic competition held by Milwaukee
Ballet every other winter, have already won. Enrico Morelli, Mariana Oliveira and George Williamson have each been invited to make a new
work with the companya€™s excellent dancers and production team, and to see it performed four times before an excited Milwaukee
audience and a distinguished national panel of experts. Each will receive a cash award, including one determined by audience vote, and
one will receive a commission to create a second world premiere here next year. Morelli (Italian), Williamson (British) and Oliveira (Brazilian
American), all young but with impressive track records, talked about the dances theya€™ re making.
Morelli: a€celta€™ s a piece about people living at this time in history when ita€™ s really hard to speak with other people. The first part is
more violent and shouted; the second more intimate and whispered in terms of the movement and the music. The first music is from Adrien
Casalis, a really young French composer. The second is Frederic Chopin. la€™ m trying to work from the tenderness of that music.a€*
Oliveira: a€celta€™ s based on Leoncavalloa€™ s opera Pagliacci , the story of a clown artist descending into madness. The music is by
Charlie Chaplin for his movie The Circus , which has the same idea as Pagliacci, the love triangle. Ita€™ s very playful and funny in the
beginning but by the end ita€™ s very dark and emotional. Ita€™ s such an amazing story!a€*
Williamson: a€cela€™ m sort of facilitating the dancersa€™ creativity. The idea is a journey people take over years and yearsa€”multiple
journeys being seen at the same time that go from a supernatural place to a more human one. The music is electronic at the beginning,
classical at the end. Classical sounds are more human, | think.a€* (J ohn Schneider)

As soil warms up, it leaks carbon, and a new study suggests higher temperatures could release more carbon than we thought, potentially
creating a dangerous feedback loop that would cause the planet to get hotter and hotter.
That's based on experiments stretching back 26 years in a hardwood forest in Massachusetts, where researchers have been artificially
heating certain sections of soil to see the effects.
The team from the Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) in Massachusetts, the University of Massachusetts, and the University of New
Hampshire, says rising temperatures cause a two-stage cycle where carbon output increases for several years then levels off 4€“ probably
due to soil microbes adjusting to the warmer conditions.
After that readjustment, carbon release levels start rising again. The worry is that warmer soil would cause a warmer atmosphere, in turn
heating up the ground and perpetuating temperature rise we have no control over.

"This self-reinforcing feedback is potentially a global phenomenon with soils, and once it starts it may be very difficult to turn off," one of
the team, J erry Melillo from the MBL, told Meghan Bartels at Newsweek.
“It's that part of the problem that I think is sobering."
Scientists admit they've still got plenty more to learn about soil microbes and how they release carbon, and so long-term detailed studies
like this are vital in understanding the processes going on.
Way back in 1991, heating coils similar to those used to keep sports pitches from freezing were buried about 10 centimetres (3.9 inches)
underground in the Harvard Forest, keeping certain parts of the forest soil surface 5A°C (9A°F) warmer than control plots.
Since then, the heated patches have lost 17 percent of the carbon stored in the top 60 centimetres (23.6 inches) of soil, where most organic
matter is held. Carbon loss in warmer soil outpaced the rate in the control plots in two bursts, 1991-2000 and 2008-2013.
In between those periods, carbon release was at similar levels in both the heated and unheated areas: the scientists think this cycle is
caused as the number of microbes increase, feasting on hard-to-digest organic matter like the lignin in plants, and pushing out more
carbon as a result.

When the food runs out, the microbes adapt and reorganise, leading to lulls in the carbon release, suggest the researchers. Since 2014,
carbon emissions from the heated plots have again dropped, and the monitoring continues today.
“If a significant amount of that soil carbon is added to the atmosphere, due to microbial activity in warmer soils, that will accelerate the
global warming process," says Melillo. "And once this self-reinforcing feedback begins, there is no easy way to turn it off. There is no
switch to flip."
As the team points out, every year we pump about 10 billion tonnes of carbon into the atmosphere, mostly through burning fossil fuels.
About 3,500 billion tonnes are thought to be stored in the world's soil.
A significant part of that is stored in big pools of frozen soil in the Arctic a€“ the carbon there is easily decomposed, and we know
temperatures at the poles are on the rise.
Not only does having carbon locked away in soil mean it's kept out of the atmosphere, it also helps soil stay healthy by holding water and
helping plants to grow.
“If these findings hold more widely across major terrestrial ecosystems, then a much greater portion of the global soil carbon store could
be vulnerable to decomposition and release of carbon dioxide under global warming than previously thought," Daniel Metcalfe, from Lund
University in Sweden, told Fiona Harvey at The Guardian.
Just last week a separate study warned that forests are released more carbon than they're storing, thanks to widespread deforestation. We
can now add warming soil to the ways that these wooded areas could push carbon levels higher.
The only encouragement we can take from this lengthy study is that we're learning more all the time about how carbon cycles and various
natural tipping points could influence overall temperature rise on the planet.
With a better understanding of how the microbial processes work, there is some evidence that we can manage the soil under our feet to
trap carbon dioxide and slow the pace of global warming a€“ but much more research is needed, and we're running out of time.
"The future is a warmer future," says Melillo. "How much warmer is the issue."
The research has been published in Science.

The team from the Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) in Massachusetts, the University of Massachusetts, and the University of New Hampshire, says rising temperatures cause a two-stage cycle where carbon output increases for several years then levels off – probably due to soil microbes adjusting to the warmer conditions.
After that readjustment, carbon release levels start rising again. The worry is that warmer soil would cause a warmer atmosphere, in turn heating up the ground and perpetuating temperature rise we have no control over.

"This self-reinforcing feedback is potentially a global phenomenon with soils, and once it starts it may be very difficult to turn off," one of the team, Jerry Melillo from the MBL, told Meghan Bartels at Newsweek.
"It's that part of the problem that I think is sobering."
Scientists admit they've still got plenty more to learn about soil microbes and how they release carbon, and so long-term detailed studies like this are vital in understanding the processes going on.
Way back in 1991, heating coils similar to those used to keep sports pitches from freezing were buried about 10 centimetres (3.9 inches) underground in the Harvard Forest, keeping certain parts of the forest soil surface 5°C (9°F) warmer than control plots.
Since then, the heated patches have lost 17 percent of the carbon stored in the top 60 centimetres (23.6 inches) of soil, where most organic matter is held. Carbon loss in warmer soil outpaced the rate in the control plots in two bursts, 1991-2000 and 2008-2013.
In between those periods, carbon release was at similar levels in both the heated and unheated areas: the scientists think this cycle is caused as the number of microbes increase, feasting on hard-to-digest organic matter like the lignin in plants, and pushing out more carbon as a result.

When the food runs out, the microbes adapt and reorganise, leading to lulls in the carbon release, suggest the researchers. Since 2014, carbon emissions from the heated plots have again dropped, and the monitoring continues today.
"If a significant amount of that soil carbon is added to the atmosphere, due to microbial activity in warmer soils, that will accelerate the global warming process," says Melillo. "And once this self-reinforcing feedback begins, there is no easy way to turn it off. There is no switch to flip."
As the team points out, every year we pump about 10 billion tonnes of carbon into the atmosphere, mostly through burning fossil fuels. About 3,500 billion tonnes are thought to be stored in the world's soil.
A significant part of that is stored in big pools of frozen soil in the Arctic – the carbon there is easily decomposed, and we know temperatures at the poles are on the rise.
Not only does having carbon locked away in soil mean it's kept out of the atmosphere, it also helps soil stay healthy by holding water and helping plants to grow.
"If these findings hold more widely across major terrestrial ecosystems, then a much greater portion of the global soil carbon store could be vulnerable to decomposition and release of carbon dioxide under global warming than previously thought," Daniel Metcalfe, from Lund University in Sweden, told Fiona Harvey at The Guardian.
Just last week a separate study warned that forests are released more carbon than they're storing, thanks to widespread deforestation. We can now add warming soil to the ways that these wooded areas could push carbon levels higher.
The only encouragement we can take from this lengthy study is that we're learning more all the time about how carbon cycles and various natural tipping points could influence overall temperature rise on the planet.
With a better understanding of how the microbial processes work, there is some evidence that we can manage the soil under our feet to trap carbon dioxide and slow the pace of global warming – but much more research is needed, and we're running out of time.
"The future is a warmer future," says Melillo. "How much warmer is the issue."
The research has been published in Science.

Future Market Insights (FMI) has published a new report on the varicella zoster infection treatment market titled a€ceVaricella Zoster
Infection Treatment Market: Global Industry Analysis 2012 4€“ 2016 and Opportunity Assessment 2017 a€“ 2027.a€* Varicella zoster
infection comprises two main types namely varicella chickenpox and herpes zoster. Varicella is a highly contagious infection with an
incubation period of 104€“21 days, most commonly 144€“16 days, after which characteristic rashes appear. Acute varicella may be
complicated by secondary bacterial skin infections, cerebellitis, encephalitis, haemorrhagic complications, and viral and bacterial
pneumonia. The climate is a core factor that seems to have an impact on the epidemiology of varicella. In most of the temperate climatic
regions, 90% of the people are infected before adolescence. In tropical climates, VZV infection occurs later in life and adults are more
susceptible to it than children.
On the other hand, herpes zoster or shingles is a sporadic disease that is caused by the reactivation of latent VZV in the sensory nerve
ganglia. It is usually self-limiting and is categorised by severe pain with dermatomal distribution and at times followed by post-herpetic
neuralgia that can be chronic and debilitating among the geriatric population. Though herpes zoster can occur at any age, most of the
cases are reported after the age of 50 along with increasing risks of complications. In order to cater to the needs of the patients and provide
a potential treatment for this infection, companies are entering into strategic partnerships in order to make use of the technology of the
other leading companies and are also focussing on research and development.

For instance, in December 2016, Slayback and Sandoz signed an agreement with Novartis AG for the sale and marketing rights of Slayback
Generic Zovirax Ointment (Acyclovir Ointment). Per the agreement Novartis obtained the sales and marketing rights, which increased their
position in the market. Other leading companies operating in the market are Valeant Pharmaceuticals International Inc., Teva
Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd, Pfizer Inc., Mylan N.V., Abbott Laboratories, GlaxoSmithKline Plc., and Dr. Reddya€™ s Laboratories Ltd.,
among others.
According to the report, the global varicella zoster infection treatment market is expected to register a 4.2% CAGR from 2017 to 2027. In
2016, the market was worth US$ 1,257.1 Mn and is expected to reach a valuation of US$ 1,969.1 Mn by the end of 2027.
Risk of Varicella in Pregnancy and the Need to Adhere to the Guidelines of Chickenpox Treatment to Bode Well for the Market
Primary infection with varicella zoster in pregnancy may cause maternal mortality or serious morbidity issues. A particular guideline issued
in 2015 assesses the evidence regarding maternal and foetal risks of varicella zoster virus infection in pregnancy. The U.K. Advisory Group
and Swiss and Canadian national guidelines prescribe procedures for the use of antiviral drugs in pregnancy. The U.K. Advisory Group
provides guidelines for chickenpox as well. These guidelines recommend oral acyclovir, which should be prescribed for pregnant women
within 24 hours once they present the onset of the rash and if they have 20+0 weeks of gestation or beyond. Guidelines are unanimous
nevertheless, in recommending that intravenous acyclovir be administered in cases of severe maternal infection. This factor along with the
fact that the rate of exposure and transmission is extremely high in this infection and is a threat for pregnant women and kids, is expected
to boost the growth of the varicella zoster infection treatment market.

Hrithik Roshan has broken his silence after almost two years and the reason behind it are his sons, Hrehaan and Hridhaan, shares a
member of the Roshan family.
It was in the best interest of his kids that the father of two chose to present his side of the story in response to the public mudslinging at
the hands of Kangana Ranaut over the past few months. In a statement where he questioned the alleged affair between him and Ranaut as it
had a€ceno trail left behinda€* by way of 4€oepaparazzi pictures or mementoa€s, Hrithik went on to add how he felt compelled to put forth
his viewpoint so that he could 4€cedefend the truth because when truth suffers, the collective consciousness of society suffersa€|Closer to
home, families suffer. Children suffer.a€* His revelation surprised many since the actor had maintained a dignified silence on the subject so
far.
Member of Roshan family reveals how the Kangana controversy affected the actora€™ s children, leading Hrithik to speak up on the subject.
He revealed that the children had a role to play in the actora€™ s decision to speak up. His kids, Hrehaan and Hridhaan, are his priority and
it broke his heart to see how the controversy, from allegations of an affair to a rumoured engagement in Paris to e-mails being leaked, had
taken a toll on them.

The family member revealed, a€ceHrithika€™ s family told him that enough was enough and now wasna€™ t the time to keep silent. They all
sat down and decided that Hrithik needed to take charge of the situation. If you read the last line of his statement, it mentions how children
suffer if justice is denied. That is a very telling line. Does anybody have any idea what his children have gone through because of this
circus? a€*
When Ranaut demanded a 4€cepublic apologya€ from the actor on national television, the family convinced him to share his ordeal, lest his
silence be misconstrued as his admission of guilt. After having a heart-to-heart with father Rakesh Roshan, the anguished star understood
that he had no choice but to react. a€ceHrithik was insulted on Aap Ki Adalat. That affected him deeply. His family told him that if he
doesna€™ t speak up now, it will mean two things 4€” either he is guilty or he is too weak to respond. Neither was the case, so why
shouldna€™ t he speak up? 4€* Despite Ranauta€™ s accusations during Simran promotions, he practiced restraint as he did not want to
engage in a public spat. a4€oeHe spoke only after weeks. The intent is not to malign anyone but to save onea€™ s dignity
The Hrithik Roshan-Kangana Ranaut controversy that broke out in March 2016 witnessed a new chapter yesterday as the actor took to his
social media handle and offered his narrative.

b'The Real Housewives of New York endure feuds on a regular basis, but one conflict in particular has come to a head over the course of the\npast two seasons. It all started when Dorinda didn\'t invite Sonja to the Berkshires, citing her already heavy drinking as the reason she\nwasn\'t invited to the alcohol-soaked festivities. But things have only gotten worse since then, which has left fans wondering: are Sonja\nMorgan and Dorinda Medley still friends after RHONY? They\'ve both been pretty diplomatic in the press over the last few months, despite\nreally going through it this season.\n\nEarly on in Season 10, we saw a brunch implode quickly after Sonja drew a parallel between losing a husband through divorce and\nbecoming widowed. Dorinda got extremely agitated about it and the afternoon ended in a screaming match during which Dorinda accused\nSonja of cheating on her ex-husband, thereby triggering the divorce herself. It was super tense and we already know both of these women\nfeel sensitive about their marriages. In a later episode, Dorinda got set off when Sonja talked about how she wears "her family\'s" crest\nevery day.

past two seasons. It all started when Dorinda didn't invite Sonja to the Berkshires, citing her already heavy drinking as the reason she

becoming widowed. Dorinda got extremely agitated about it and the afternoon ended in a screaming match during which Dorinda accused
Sonja of cheating on her ex-husband, thereby triggering the divorce herself. It was super tense and we already know both of these women
feel sensitive about their marriages. In a later episode, Dorinda got set off when Sonja talked about how she wears "her family's" crest

TORONTO -- Polarizing politician Doug Ford officially launched his bid to lead Ontario's Progressive Conservative Party with a rally in
Toronto Saturday night, where he outlined his platform in the race's first campaign rally.
Ford promised to keep taxes low, attract more business to the province, and reject a federally imposed carbon tax if elected as the next
premier of Ontario.
"| will not support policies and taxes that make life more expensive," Ford told a crowd of cheering supporters.
“And if the Prime Minister tries to make us -- well, in the words of his father -- 'J ust watch me."'
The former Toronto city councillor also attacked current Liberal Premier Kathleen Wynne, criticizing what he called a disastrous energy
policy, vanishing manufacturing jobs and rising taxes and costs in the province.
"The stakes have never been higher," said Ford. "People across Ontario are suffocating under the weight of high taxes and big
government."
A last-minute race to elect a new leader of the PC party was triggered last month, after the abrupt resignation of previous leader Patrick
Brown amid allegations of sexual misconduct.
Brown vehemently denied the allegations, which were reported by CTV News and have not been independently verified by The Canadian
Press.
Ford, who was the first to announce his candidacy, says it's time to wrest control of the party from "elites" and speak up for people he feels
have been shortchanged by Wynne's government.
Political observers say the combination of name recognition, a well-defined message and open disdain for an unpopular government mean
Ford could mount a credible challenge for the leadership.
“Doug Ford can't be underestimated in this race," said Rob Leone, a former Progressive Conservative member of the Ontario legislature
and current political science professor at Western University.
Leone said Ford has a leg up thanks to an established ground game and support organization, which could be key assets as leadership
hopefuls scramble to meet a tight, five-week timeline. Voting to choose the new leader begins March 2, with results to be unveiled March 10.
Ford's anti-elitist message resonated with the crowd at Saturday night's rally, who booed emphatically at every mention of Wynne and the
Liberals.
“Doug Ford may be rich, but at least he hangs out with the rest of us," said Kim King, a Ford supporter at the rally, who referenced
community events that the Ford family hosts in Toronto every year.
"The elitists, you only see them once every four years."
Ford's stronghold of supporters in suburban Toronto meant attendance was high at his first event in the city, but Ford said he'll focus on
drumming up support across the province in the coming weeks.
“From the 519 (area code) to the 613 -- from the 905 to the 705 and the 416 -- you will have a voice in our party," said Ford.
“Our policies will empower you, the people of this province."
Ford will be contending against Christine Elliott, a PC politician who has run for the leadership twice already. Caroline Mulroney, the
daughter of former Prime Minister Brian Mulroney, is expected to announce her candidacy in the near future.

Pub baron J ustin Hemmes is offering half price drinks at his venues across Sydney in a bid to bring some vibrancy back to the city.
The 45-year-old father-of-two will be slashing drink prices across 37 of his hospitality bars across Sydney including trendy hotspot The Ivy
and the famed Coogee Pavilion.
Each day in J une at 5pm sharp, specially selected tracks will play at the bars marking the start of an extended happy hour and significant
drink savings across all cocktails, spirits, beer, wine and champagne.
Fancy a $3.50 beer? Pub baron J ustin Hemmes is offering half price drinks at his 37 bars across Sydney all of J une including Coogee
Pavilion
Selected tracks will play marking the start of an extended happy hour at 5pm both weekends and weekdays
For two hours drinks will be 49 per cent off - the maximum discount allowed
Dolly Parton's ‘Nine to Five' will ring out across establishments on weekdays and J ames Brown's ‘I Feel Good' will play to patrons on
weekends.
For two hours drinks will be 49 per cent off - the maximum discount allowed by regulators for alcohol.
The Merivale website says the initiative is aimed at ‘bringing some vibrancy back to the city' with the hotel group asserting the percentage
is as generous as they are legally allowed to be.
In late 2016 Hemmes spoke out against the lockout laws, the Herald reported,
Sydney pub baron J ustin Hemmes (pictured with partner Kate Fowler) publicly slammed lock out laws in 2016
Top deals The Newport Bottle of NV Laurent-Perrier Rose, Tours-sur-Marne, France Was: $198 Now: $100.98 Angel Hotel Bottle of 07
Trimbach ‘Cuveise Freiedelsric Emile, Alsace, France (riesling) Was: $180 Now: $91.80 Hemmesphere Bottle of NV Ruinart Blanc de Blancs,
Reims, France Was: $200 Now: $102 Coogee Pavilion Bottle of Gerin CA te Rotie, RhA ‘ne Valley, France Was: $125 Now: $63.75
‘There's too many restrictions on what we can and can't do,' Hemmes says. ‘Something needed to be done but I think what's occurred is an
overreaction, a serious overreaction.
‘Obviously there were two deaths that triggered this, terrible things to happen and the guys who did it should rot in hell 4€“ however neither
of them were in venues a€“ they were walking around the streets looking for trouble.’
The lock-out laws were introduced by then Premier Barry O'Farrell's government following a number of incidents.
His offer will include $7.65 margaritas at Il Loco, cheap craft beers at the Queens Hotel and The Paddington and cheap wines by the glass at
The Newport and Fred's.
A bottle of $198 Laurent-Perrier Rose champagne be slashed to $100.98 at The Newport and will include a bottle of $200 NV Ruinart Blanc
de Blancs cut down to $102 at Hemmesphere.
The 45-year-old father-of-two will be slashing prices of wines, beers and cocktails across 37 of his bars including Establishment
The Merivale website says the initiative is aimed at 'bringing some vibrancy back to the city’ (pictured is El Loco)
The offer will apply to items priced at $200 or less with those upwards of $201 selling at RRP.
Hemmes has amassed a $951 million fortune via his 70 venues across Sydney, earning himself a spot on the 2018 Rich List.
He will debut in 78th position in the Australian Financial Review's list of the wealthiest people in the country, to be published on Friday.
The business magnate just missed out on joining a record 76 billionaires on this year's list.

The civil society organisations (CSOs) that have planned April 27 demonstrations against the K4 billion budget allocation to legislators and
other social issues such as state of governance and persistent electricity blackouts are defiant that they are prepared to hold vigils until
President Peter Mutharika or Vice-President Saulos Chilima should
receive a petition in person a€“ setting the stage for a brutal fight with government.
The Presidency has rebuffed a request from CSOs and said the Office of President and Cabinet (OPC) would designate someone to receive
the petition.
But in a letter to Chief Secretary to government, Lloyd Muhara, the CSOs led by Centre for Human Rights and Rehabilitation (CHRR)
executive director Timothy Mtambo, said The nature of the issues contained in the a€ce10 demands petitiona€* which require the a€cechief
political executiveda€ of the political arm of the public service and also in line with the Human Rights Based Approach to Developmenta€™ s
Duty bearer-Rights Holder relations, and the principle of social contract, they shall submit the petition addressed to the Head of State and
Government a€“ The Presidency- through either the President or Vice President in person at the Office of the President and Cabinet at the
Capital Hill in Lilongwe between 9:00am and 11:00am.
&€ceMindful of the executive attempts to frustrate these peaceful demonstrations despite the cooperation of the organisers with relevant
authorities to ensure a peaceful demonstration, we will not at any cost accept anyone besides the Presidency (The President or Vice
President) to receive our petition even if it means conducting vigils for days at your office until either of the two receives our petition in
person,a€¢ reads the letter as seen by Nyasa Times.
&€ceWe would like to put it clear that the issues being raised by citizens are meant and addressed to the Central Government. The only
reason we will present the petition to the local governments authorities in the other districts and cities is that those are the only highest
offices representing the central government at that level,a€¢ it continued.
The CSOs are defiant that theywill not accept any form of a€cemiddle mana€e in Lilongwe which has the presence of the highest office of
the central government.
&€oeWe say no to any form of middle men to Central government and the leadership,a€* the organisers of the protests said.
Mtambo said they have previously delivered many petitions through other channels to Mutharika, but they have not seen any change;
hence, the decision to deliver the petition direct to the President.
He insisted that there was nothing wrong with the CSOs and the citizens demanding that President Mutharika or his deputy Chilima should
receive the petition. Said Mtambo: a€ceWe are very determined to conduct the peaceful demonstrations and present the petition to the
presidency. a€*
The CSOs are demanding cancellation of disbursement of the K4 billion and the resignation of Finance Minister Goodall Gondwe and
Kondwani Nankhumwa (Minister for Local Government and Rural Development) over their roles in the scam.
They argue that the K4 billion allocation is illegal and not in the best interest of Malawians; hence, the need to immediately cancel it.
The demonstrations, which the Public Affairs Committee (PAC) and opposition political parties are supporting, will be held under the theme
For How Long Shall Malawians Continue To Be Taken for Granted? Loss of Public Trust in the Current Administration: Time to Reclaim Our
Destiny .
The demonstrations are also being supported, among others, by the quasi-religious Public Affairs Committee (PAC), the main opposition
Malawi Congress Party (MCP) and 10 opposition political parties that include the countrya€™ s former vice-president Cassim Chilumpha as
president for Assembly for Democracy and Development (ADD), presidents for Peoplea€™ s Progressive Movement (PPM)Mark Katsonga
Phiri, Malawi Forum for Unity and Development (Mafunde) George Nnensa, United Transformation Party (UTP) Newton Kambala and
Peoplea€™ s Transformation Party (Petra) Kamuzu Chibambo.
The political parties, which also include Republican Party, United Independent Party, New Labour Party, National Unity Party and Malawi
Democratic Party, say the culture of impunity that has dominated the Malawi political space for many decades, must be stopped now
In Lilongwe, where they expected the Presidency to receive their petition, the CSOs plan to march from Chisomo Private Secondary School
in Mchesi, via Kamuzu Central Hospital (KCH) Roundabout, through Lingadzi Roundabout via Parliament Building to Capital Hill.
In Blantyre, CSOs will protest from the Upper Stadium via Chipembere Highway to the civic offices, while in Mzuzu, they expect to march
from Katoto via Mzuzu Clock Tower via High Court Round-about to civic offices.

“Mindful of the executive attempts to frustrate these peaceful demonstrations despite the cooperation of the organisers with relevant authorities to ensure a peaceful demonstration, we will not at any cost accept anyone besides the Presidency (The President or Vice President) to receive our petition even if it means conducting vigils for days at your office until either of the two receives our petition in person,” reads the letter as seen by Nyasa Times.
“We would like to put it clear that the issues being raised by citizens are meant and addressed to the Central Government. The only reason we will present the petition to the local governments authorities in the other districts and cities is that those are the only highest offices representing the central government at that level,” it continued.
The CSOs are defiant that theywill not accept any form of “middle man” in Lilongwe which has the presence of the highest office of the central government.
“We say no to any form of middle men to Central government and the leadership,” the organisers of the protests said.
Mtambo said they have previously delivered many petitions through other channels to Mutharika, but they have not seen any change; hence, the decision to deliver the petition direct to the President.
He insisted that there was nothing wrong with the CSOs and the citizens demanding that President Mutharika or his deputy Chilima should receive the petition. Said Mtambo: “We are very determined to conduct the peaceful demonstrations and present the petition to the presidency. ”
The CSOs are demanding cancellation of disbursement of the K4 billion and the resignation of Finance Minister Goodall Gondwe and Kondwani Nankhumwa (Minister for Local Government and Rural Development) over their roles in the scam.
They argue that the K4 billion allocation is illegal and not in the best interest of Malawians; hence, the need to immediately cancel it.
The demonstrations, which the Public Affairs Committee (PAC) and opposition political parties are supporting, will be held under the theme For How Long Shall Malawians Continue To Be Taken for Granted? Loss of Public Trust in the Current Administration: Time to Reclaim Our Destiny .
The demonstrations are also being supported, among others, by the quasi-religious Public Affairs Committee (PAC), the main opposition Malawi Congress Party (MCP) and 10 opposition political parties that include the country’s former vice-president Cassim Chilumpha as president for Assembly for Democracy and Development (ADD), presidents for People’s Progressive Movement (PPM)Mark Katsonga Phiri, Malawi Forum for Unity and Development (Mafunde) George Nnensa, United Transformation Party (UTP) Newton Kambala and People’s Transformation Party (Petra) Kamuzu Chibambo.
The political parties, which also include Republican Party, United Independent Party, New Labour Party, National Unity Party and Malawi Democratic Party, say the culture of impunity that has dominated the Malawi political space for many decades, must be stopped now
In Lilongwe, where they expected the Presidency to receive their petition, the CSOs plan to march from Chisomo Private Secondary School in Mchesi, via Kamuzu Central Hospital (KCH) Roundabout, through Lingadzi Roundabout via Parliament Building to Capital Hill.
In Blantyre, CSOs will protest from the Upper Stadium via Chipembere Highway to the civic offices, while in Mzuzu, they expect to march from Katoto via Mzuzu Clock Tower via High Court Round-about to civic offices.

As Gordon Elliott closes in on the Irish Trainer's Championship title and Willie Mullins guns to hunt him down, the stars of Irish National
Hunt racing gather this week for the 2018 Punchestown Festival. Aintree's three-day festival earlier this month attracted fewer Irish raiders
than usual as both Mullins and Elliott held all their aces for the Irish showpiece. Our man has run his eye over the card for Day 1, Tuesday,
April 24, and here are his selections:
15:40 - Kildare Hunt Club Fr Sean Breen Memorial Chase For The Ladies Perpetual Cup
Last year's winner of this, Enniskillen, returns, but the nod goes to BLUE TEMPLAR (5/2), who was third here last season. He'll have the
company of top amateur rider Derek O'Connor in the saddle and has had a couple of good prep runs for this. He was a good third behind
Auvergnat at this track and on April 1, ran well to be third in a point-to-point. The re-opposing Tippinawaynow was 12 lengths ahead of him
that day but Enda Bolger's charge carried ten pounds more on that occasion. Blue Templar was also tanking his way into the Cross Country
race here last year looking like a challenger when he slipped up on the final bend. He will be primed for this and could get punters off to a
flyer this time around.
16:20 - Herald Champion Novice Hurdle (Grade 1)
Given the form Gordon Elliott is in, itis not beyond the realms of possibility that MENGLI KHAN (4/1) can topple odds-on favourite Getabird
here. Getabird bombed out in the Supreme Novices Hurdle at Cheltenham but appeared to have excuses as the horse prefers going right
handed. He proved a cut above the field at Fairyhouse over Easter, and many of those chasing him home that day return to re-oppose here.
However, Mengli Khan was a good third behind Summerville Boy in that Supreme Novices Hurdle at Cheltenham last month, form that
worked out very well at Aintree. When Getabird beat him by nine lengths on this track in J anuary, Mengli Khan was tasked with carrying six
pound more. He also made a mistake at the last which saw him land flat-footed for the run-in. It is fair to say that he was well held by Willie
Mullins' charge that day but that rival showed enough frailties at Cheltenham to suggest he's far from unbeatable. Paloma Blue can also get
involved back on ground he'll enjoy having been fourth in the Supreme.
16:55 - Killashee Handicap Hurdle (Grade B)
Jessica Harrington always enjoys Punchestown and she saddles LIGHT THAT (20/1) in this once more. He carried far more weight and still
managed to finish second to Western Boy in this race last year, and can go well again now after a quiet couple of months. He hasn't been
seen since finishing third behind Saturnas at Fairyhouse in J anuary, but a break could prove to be a positive. He goes well fresh and once
again proved he likes this track when finishing second behind Bon Papa last November. He won't mind the ground and is consistent
enough to run into the frame.
17:30 - Boylesports Champion Chase (Grade 1)
The undoubted highlight of Day 1 is the Champion Chase which sees three of Willie Mullins' stable stars meet for the first time. Min, Douvan
and Un De Sceaux will more than likely have the market and the race between them as the rest scrap for minor honours and moral victories.
Min seems the easiest to discount after coming up just short at both Cheltenham and Aintree. Douvan was travelling well when he fell four
out in the Queen Mother Champion Chase won by Altior, and although there was a long way to go, it looked like he was shaping towards a
big run. While Un De Sceaux won easily at Fairyhouse last time out, he found very little when challenged and beaten by Balko Des Flos at
Cheltenham. After all that, the risk is taken on DOUVAN (6/4) to recapture his form to continue his record of never being beaten at
Punchestown.
18:05 - Goffs Land Rover Bumper
This is a race of mostly newcomers and relative unknowns, so the vote goes with top connections and COMMANDER OF FLEET (4/1), who
could be just a bit special for Gordon Elliott and Gigginstown. He has a run under his belt and is well bred by Fame And Glory. It's a puzzle
to work out, but both Elliott and Mullins have strong hands in the race and could well have it between them. Think Positive, That's A Given
and Column of Fire are others to take very seriously.
18:40 - Growise Champion Novice Chase (Grade 1)
This will be a cracker but it could be worth sticking with the current favourite MONALEE (7/4). With Gold Cup talk surrounding Presenting
Percy, this horse's form with Pat Kelly's star at Cheltenham is reading very well. That looked a solid running of the RSA with third and fifth
placed Elegant Escape and Black Corton going well at Aintree and the fourth-placed Ballyoptic going within a nostril of winning the
Scottish Grand National since. Monalee also beat plenty of these rivals at Leopardstown in February, and could have too much class for
them again. I'd count Invitation Only and Shattered love as perhaps the greatest dangers, while Finiian's Oscar is an intriguing British raider
fresh from a win at Aintree.
19:15 - Dooley Insurances Flat Race
Another near impossible race to decifer with a host of debutants but a tentative nod goes to GRAND MOGUL (12/1) for Gordon Elliott. The
Meath handler has a number of entrants in this race, and perhaps some are more well fancied, but the fact that he's had the presence of
mind to put a five-pound claimer on this fella, and the horse is well bred by Presenting, are good enough reasons to pick him out. He may
not be good enough to win first time out but it is favourable ground conditions and he could run into a place. Adulterated and Final List are
also worthy newcomers for Elliott but won't be as well priced for casual punters.

9:50 a.m.
The European Union's top diplomat is criticizing Turkey over its military offensive in a northern Syrian town and is calling on Ankara to
ensure that fighting eases in the conflict-torn country.
EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini says: "I am worried about this."
Mogherini told reporters in Brussels on Monday that international efforts in Syria are supposed to be “aiming at de-escalating the military
activities and not escalating them."
She urged Turkey, Russia and Iran to guarantee that conflict "de-escalation zones" are established as promised, to "guarantee that that is
what happens on the ground."
Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan announced on Sunday the capture of the town of Afrin, previously controlled by the Kurdish
militia known as the People's Defense Units, or YPG.
9:40 a.m.
Turkey's state-run news agency says a booby trap bomb reportedly left by Syrian Kurdish fighters in the northern Syrian town of Afrin has
killed 11 people a€” seven civilians and four Turkish-backed fighters.
Anadolu Agency says the explosion occurred late on Sunday in a four-story building that Turkish-backed Syrian opposition forces were
clearing for explosives.
Turkish troops and Syrian opposition fighters allied with Ankara marched into Afrin on Sunday, nearly two months after Turkey began its
offensive on the enclave to drive out a Syrian Kurdish militia. Ankara considers the militia an extension of its own insurgency.
Kurdish officials and a war monitor say some pockets of resistance remain in the town of Afrin but the Kurdish militia, known as YPG, has
largely withdrawn.
9:20 a.m.
A Syria war monitoring group says Turkish-allied militiamen are looting the northern Syrian town of Afrin after the Turkish military and
allied Syrian fighters seized control of it.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said Monday the looting began on Sunday, after the Turkish and allied Syrian
forces marched into the town center and raised their flags there 4€” nearly two months after the offensive on the Kurdish enclave started.
The troops faced little resistance from the Kurdish militia, which withdrew, vowing a "new phase" of guerrilla tactics against Turkish troops
and their allied fighters.
The Observatory, which monitors Syria's war through a network of activists on the ground, described extensive looting of shops, homes
and cars in Afrin.
It's unclear what Turkey plans after the capture of Afrin.
4:15 p.m.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan says that after victory in Syria's Afrin region, his country will expand its military operations into
other Kurdish-held areas in Syria as well as to Iraq's Sinjar region.
Speaking at a ceremony for judicial appointments in Ankara, Erdogan said troops would target the Syrian city of Manbij, as well as Ayn
al-Arab, also known as Kobani, and other towns along the border to the east of the Euphrates River. Those areas are controlled by
U.S.-backed Syrian Kurdish forces and U.S. troops are stationed there.
Erdogan said Turkish troops could also cross into Iraq to drive out Kurdish militants from the region of Sinjar, if the Iraqi government is
reluctant to oust militants from the area. Turkey says the region is becoming a headquarters for outlawed Kurdish rebels who have been
fighting an insurgency in Turkey's southeast since 1984.
Erdogan said "one night, we could suddenly enter Sinjar."
He insisted Turkey had no intention of "invading" Syria, saying it was merely clearing the border area of terrorists.
2:05 p.m.
Syria's Kurdish militia says a British woman who had joined their ranks to fight in the northern town of Afrin has been killed in a Turkish
airstrike.
Nisrin Abdullah, spokeswoman of the Kurdish female militia known as YPJ , said on Monday that Anna Campbell was killed last Thursday.
She is the first foreign national to die in the battle for Afrin. She is also the first British female fighter and the eighth Briton to die fighting
alongside the Kurdish militia in Syria. The Press Association says Campbell was 26 years old from Lewes, East Sussex.
Macer Gifford, a Briton who travelled with Campbell, said they arrived last May to eastern Syria, where they joined the U.S-backed Kurdish
militia to fight against Islamic State militants. Gifford returned home after the fall of the city of Raqqa last summer.
Gifford told The Associated Press via Twitter that Campbell, an animal rights activist, "was a lovely girl. Very opinionated and determined."
He also says: "She loved the YPJ and the last I saw of her was her leaving to join them."
1:50 p.m.
Turkish Deputy Prime Minister Bekir Bozdag says Turkey does not aim to invade the Syrian town of Afrin and will hand it over to "its real
owners."
Bozdag made the comments on Monday, a day after Turkish troops and Ankara-allied Syrian opposition forces captured Afrin.
The town was taken nearly two month after Turkey launched its offensive to clear Afrin and surrounding districts of a Syrian Kurdish militia
that Ankara considers to be a "terrorist" group, allied with Turkey's outlawed Kurdish rebels.
Bozdag says" "We are not invaders. The aim of our offensive is to clear the region of terror."
He says the Syrian Kurdish forces retreated from Afrin because "they were afraid ... you see this very clearly when you look at ammunition
and weapons that they left behind."
He says the Kurdish fighters had left booby traps and other explosives inside Afrin.
1:35 p.m.
The European Union has slapped sanctions on a senior Syrian military officer and three scientists accused of links to the development and
use of chemical weapons against civilians.
EU headquarters said on Monday that the four work at the Scientific Studies and Research Center, a Syrian government agency the EU says
produces chemical weapons and missiles to deliver them.
The center has been under EU sanctions since Dec. 2011.
The move brings to 261 the number of people targeted by an EU travel ban and asset freeze over the crackdown on Syrian civilians and
support for the government of President Bashar Assad or associating with certain government officials.
A further 67 entities 4€” often companies, agencies and organizations a€” have had their assets frozen.
12:40 p.m.
A senior Syrian Kurdish official says Turkey's offensive on the Syrian town of Afrin is an "occupation" that endangers the rest of northern
Syria.
Aldar Khalil, a leading Kurdish official, on Monday condemned Turkey for the assault and for raising the Turkey's flag in a Syrian town.
He says Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is seeking to spread his influence in Syria as a way of restoring the Ottoman empire's
former influence.
He says: "The whole of northern Syria is in danger."
Turkish troops and Syrian opposition fighters allied with Ankara captured Afrin on Sunday, nearly two months after Turkey began its
offensive on the enclave.

border and has vowed to push eastward in Syria after Afrin, to prevent the Kurdish militia from linking up territories it controls in eastern
and western Syria.
9:50 a.m.
The European Union's top diplomat is criticizing Turkey over its military offensive in a northern Syrian town and is calling on Ankara to
ensure that fighting eases in the conflict-torn country.
EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini says: "I am worried about this."
Mogherini told reporters in Brussels on Monday that international efforts in Syria are supposed to be “aiming at de-escalating the military
activities and not escalating them."
She urged Turkey, Russia and Iran to guarantee that conflict "de-escalation zones" are established as promised, to "guarantee that that is
what happens on the ground."
Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan announced on Sunday the capture of the town of Afrin, previously controlled by the Kurdish
militia known as the People's Defense Units, or YPG.
9:40 a.m.
Turkey's state-run news agency says a booby trap bomb reportedly left by Syrian Kurdish fighters in the northern Syrian town of Afrin has
killed 11 people a€” seven civilians and four Turkish-backed fighters.
Anadolu Agency says the explosion occurred late on Sunday in a four-story building that Turkish-backed Syrian opposition forces were
clearing for explosives.
Turkish troops and Syrian opposition fighters allied with Ankara marched into Afrin on Sunday, nearly two months after Turkey began its
offensive on the enclave to drive out a Syrian Kurdish militia. Ankara considers the militia an extension of its own insurgency.
Kurdish officials and a war monitor say some pockets of resistance remain in the town of Afrin but the Kurdish militia, known as YPG, has
largely withdrawn.
9:20 a.m.
A Syria war monitoring group says Turkish-allied militiamen are looting the northern Syrian town of Afrin after the Turkish military and
allied Syrian fighters seized control of it.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said Monday the looting began on Sunday, after the Turkish and allied Syrian
forces marched into the town center and raised their flags there 4€” nearly two months after the offensive on the Kurdish enclave started.
The troops faced little resistance from the Kurdish militia, which withdrew, vowing a "new phase" of guerrilla tactics against Turkish troops
and their allied fighters.
The Observatory, which monitors Syria's war through a network of activists on the ground, described extensive looting of shops, homes
and cars in Afrin.
It's unclear what Turkey plans after the capture of Afrin.

Eight Security Council nations say it's "imperative" that the U.N. body Council "immediately pursue decisive action" to achieve a cease-fire
in Syria if U.N. member states, especially Russia and its ally Syria, don't implement a resolution demanding a cessation of hostilities.
A letter sent to all 15 council members on Monday expresses "profound concern" about the lack of implementation of the Feb. 24 resolution
demanding a cease-fire throughout Syria without delay to deliver humanitarian aid and evacuate the critically ill and wounded.
It singles out Russia and Syria as key to implementation.
The letter was signed by France, Kuwait, Peru, Poland, Sweden, the United Kingdom, the United States and the Netherlands.
It says that implementing the resolution "could immediately save hundreds, if not thousands, of children, women and men who have
suffered acutely during the past eight years of the brutal conflict in Syria."
12:10 a.m.
The U.N. human rights chief says the Syrian government's five-year siege of the Damascus suburbs of eastern Ghouta has involved
“pervasive war crimes," use of chemical weapons and starvation as a weapon of war.
High Commissioner for Human Rights Zeid Ra‘ad al-Hussein told an informal meeting of the U.N. Security Council late Monday that never
before have military offensives against terrorism been used more often "to justify the unconscionable use of force against civilians than in
the last few months in Syria."
Russia earlier blocked his planned address to a formal meeting of the council.
Zeid said “unlawful methods of warfare have been used by all parties" in Syria. But he singled out the Syrian government's claim that it
makes every effort to protect civilians and dismissed it.
In his words, "When you are capable of torturing and indiscriminately killing your own people, you have long forfeited your own credibility."
11 p.m.
Western nations on the U.N. Security Council and their supporters have quickly organized an informal briefing by the U.N. human rights
chief on Syria after a Russian-led protest blocked him from addressing a formal council meeting.
France's U.N. Ambassador Francois Delattre told reporters after a procedural vote that Russia called for prevented High Commissioner for
Human Rights Zeid Ra‘ad al-Hussein from addressing an open meeting in the council that he would deliver the same address at the informal
meeting late Monday afternoon.
Delattre criticized Russia for refusing any discussion of human rights in the Security Council when rights violations in Syria "are at their
very peak."
Russian deputy ambassador Gennady Kuzmin had argued that human rights have nothing to do with the council's mandate of ensuring
international peace and security.
But Sweden's U.N. Ambassador Olof Skoog insisted that "human rights and peace and security are intimately linked."
And Britain's deputy U.N. ambassador J onathan Allen said Russia "doesn't want the truth of ... the appalling human rights abuses taking
place." But he said: "We mustn't let them silence us.
10:10 p.m.
The U.N. human rights chief has been blocked from speaking to the Security Council about the situation in Syria after Russia, backed by
China and others, protested that the U.N. body charged with ensuring international peace and security should not be discussing human
rights.
At the start of Monday afternoon's council meeting that was to be addressed by High Commissioner for Human Rights Zeid Ra'ad
al-Hussein, Russia demanded a procedural vote on whether the meeting should be held.
Under council rules, nine "yes" votes are required.
After the issue was put to a vote, the result was 8 countries in favor, 4 against and 3 abstentions. So the meeting was canceled.
It was a very rare defeat on a procedural issue at an open council meeting.
But it reflected deep divisions at the Security Council over seven years of Syrian conflict that has involved President Bashar Assad's key
ally Russia and Western nations including the U.S. and other supporters of the Syrian opposition.
10 p.m.
Turkey's president has vowed to expand military operations across northern Syria and even into neighboring Iraq after his forces drove
Kurdish fighters from the northern Syrian town of Afrin.
4:15 p.m.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan says that after victory in Syria's Afrin region, his country will expand its military operations into
other Kurdish-held areas in Syria as well as to Iraq's Sinjar region.
Speaking at a ceremony for judicial appointments in Ankara, Erdogan said troops would target the Syrian city of Manbij, as well as Ayn
al-Arab, also known as Kobani, and other towns along the border to the east of the Euphrates River. Those areas are controlled by
U.S.-backed Syrian Kurdish forces and U.S. troops are stationed there.
Erdogan said Turkish troops could also cross into Iraq to drive out Kurdish militants from the region of Sinjar, if the Iraqi government is
reluctant to oust militants from the area. Turkey says the region is becoming a headquarters for outlawed Kurdish rebels who have been
fighting an insurgency in Turkey's southeast since 1984.
Erdogan said "one night, we could suddenly enter Sinjar."
He insisted Turkey had no intention of "invading" Syria, saying it was merely clearing the border area of terrorists.
2:05 p.m.
Syria's Kurdish militia says a British woman who had joined their ranks to fight in the northern town of Afrin has been killed in a Turkish
airstrike.
Nisrin Abdullah, spokeswoman of the Kurdish female militia known as YPJ , said on Monday that Anna Campbell was killed last Thursday.
She is the first foreign national to die in the battle for Afrin. She is also the first British female fighter and the eighth Briton to die fighting
alongside the Kurdish militia in Syria. The Press Association says Campbell was 26 years old from Lewes, East Sussex.
Macer Gifford, a Briton who travelled with Campbell, said they arrived last May to eastern Syria, where they joined the U.S-backed Kurdish
militia to fight against Islamic State militants. Gifford returned home after the fall of the city of Raqqa last summer.
Gifford told The Associated Press via Twitter that Campbell, an animal rights activist, "was a lovely girl. Very opinionated and determined."
He also says: "She loved the YPJ and the last I saw of her was her leaving to join them."
1:50 p.m.
Turkish Deputy Prime Minister Bekir Bozdag says Turkey does not aim to invade the Syrian town of Afrin and will hand it over to "its real
owners."
Bozdag made the comments on Monday, a day after Turkish troops and Ankara-allied Syrian opposition forces captured Afrin.
The town was taken nearly two month after Turkey launched its offensive to clear Afrin and surrounding districts of a Syrian Kurdish militia
that Ankara considers to be a "terrorist" group, allied with Turkey's outlawed Kurdish rebels.
Bozdag says" "We are not invaders. The aim of our offensive is to clear the region of terror."
He says the Syrian Kurdish forces retreated from Afrin because "they were afraid ... you see this very clearly when you look at ammunition
and weapons that they left behind."
He says the Kurdish fighters had left booby traps and other explosives inside Afrin.
1:35 p.m.
The European Union has slapped sanctions on a senior Syrian military officer and three scientists accused of links to the development and
use of chemical weapons against civilians.
EU headquarters said on Monday that the four work at the Scientific Studies and Research Center, a Syrian government agency the EU says
produces chemical weapons and missiles to deliver them.
The center has been under EU sanctions since Dec. 2011.
The move brings to 261 the number of people targeted by an EU travel ban and asset freeze over the crackdown on Syrian civilians and
support for the government of President Bashar Assad or associating with certain government officials.
A further 67 entities 4€” often companies, agencies and organizations a€” have had their assets frozen.
12:40 p.m.
A senior Syrian Kurdish official says Turkey's offensive on the Syrian town of Afrin is an "occupation" that endangers the rest of northern
Syria.
Aldar Khalil, a leading Kurdish official, on Monday condemned Turkey for the assault and for raising the Turkey's flag in a Syrian town.
He says Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is seeking to spread his influence in Syria as a way of restoring the Ottoman empire's
former influence.
He says: "The whole of northern Syria is in danger."
Turkish troops and Syrian opposition fighters allied with Ankara captured Afrin on Sunday, nearly two months after Turkey began its
offensive on the enclave.

Turkey's president has vowed to expand military operations across northern Syria and even into neighboring Iraq after his forces drove Kurdish fighters from the northern Syrian town of Afrin.
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Monday that the two-month-long Afrin campaign was the "most important phase" of the military operation launched on Jan. 20, which is aimed at driving Syrian Kurdish forces out of areas along the border.
Turkey views the Syrian Kurdish militiamen as terrorists because of their links to Kurdish insurgents fighting inside Turkey.
Erdogan said Turkish troops and allied Syrian forces would now press eastward, toward the town of Manbij and areas east of the Euphrates River, including Ayn al-Arab, the Arabic name for the Kurdish town of Kobani. Those areas are controlled by U.S.-backed Syrian Kurdish forces, and U.S. troops are stationed there.

8:30 p.m.
The U.N.'s humanitarian coordinator in Syria is appealing for help to provide aid to tens of thousands of civilians affected by the fighting outside the Syrian capital and in the northern town of Afrin.
Ali al-Za'tari says the civilians are in "desperate need," and are "tired, hungry, traumatized and afraid."
Government forces are close to capturing the eastern Ghouta region outside Damascus, where they have waged a fierce monthlong air and ground campaign. Turkish troops and allied Syrian forces seized Afrin from Kurdish fighters on Sunday after a two-month offensive. The fighting in both places has killed hundreds of civilians and displaced tens of thousands.
Al-Za'tari says the U.N., the Syrian Arab Red Crescent and other partners are "fully mobilized to deliver aid on the spot," but require permissions and security guarantees.
The Syrian government has regularly blocked the delivery of aid to opposition-held areas.
___
8 p.m.
Syria has condemned Turkey's capture of the northern Syrian town of Afrin from Kurdish forces.
The Syrian Foreign Ministry, in messages sent to the U.N. Security Council and secretary general on Monday, called on Turkey to withdraw its forces immediately from Syrian territories.
Turkish troops and allied Syrian opposition forces seized Afrin from a Kurdish militia on Sunday after a nearly two-month military campaign.
The Syrian Foreign Ministry said the move was "illegal" and called it an invasion.
Turkey views the Kurdish forces as terrorists because of their links to Kurdish insurgents inside Turkey. Ankara denies it is invading or occupying Syrian land, saying it is only removing militants from areas along the border.
___
6:30 p.m.
Syrian President Bashar Assad's office has released videos showing the president driving himself to visit his forces at the battle for eastern Ghouta, just outside the capital, Damascus.
The videos, released late Sunday and early Monday, show the president calm and assured. Other drivers on the road give no indication of knowing who is behind the wheel of the Honda sedan.
Assad's forces in eastern Ghouta appear close to clinching one of their most significant victories against rebels in seven years of civil war.
As he drove, he narrated his route to the camera and gave his thoughts on the battle. He said the images of civilians crossing over by the thousands to government authorities in eastern Ghouta showed that his government was still popular with his people and still possessed the "legitimacy" to rule.
Eastern Ghouta has been under a crippling siege and heavy bombardment for weeks, with civilians packing into underground shelters. Some 1,500 civilians have been killed in the last month.
___
6:15 p.m.
The U.S. State Department says it is "deeply concerned" over the humanitarian situation following Turkey's capture of the town of Afrin in northern Syria from Kurdish forces.
Spokeswoman Heather Nauert said in a statement Monday that the offensive forced the majority of the predominantly Kurdish population of Afrin to evacuate from the town.
She said the U.S. calls on all parties to the conflict to allow humanitarian groups to access the displaced and develop a program for their safe and voluntary return.
Nauert said the fighting in Afrin has distracted from the fight against Islamic State militants, allowing the extremists to begin to reconstitute in some areas.
She said the U.S. is committed to its NATO ally Turkey and its security concerns, and is also committed to the fight against IS with its partners, the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces.
Nauert said U.S. officials have expressed their concern to Turkish officials about the situation in Afrin.

The next Galaxy smartphone from Samsung Electronics Ltd. will be making a clean break from its predecessors, according to Wall Street
J ournal insiders.
Citing a€cepeople familiar with the matter,a4€* writers Eun-Young Jeong and Jonathan Cheng have revealed the next iteration of
Samsunga€™ s flagship device will, like Apple Inc.a€™ s iPhone 7, no longer include a home button, while the fingerprint scanner used to
unlock the device will be moved to a new location in the back.
Other likely changes include a curved screen, a button on the side that will activate the companya€™ s new Siri-like virtual assistant, Bixby,
and two available sizes for consumers to choose from.
And unlike the iPhone 7, it will feature a headphone jack.
The device is scheduled to be revealed at a New York City-based event late next month, the Wall Street J ournala€™ s sources say, noting
that certain features could change in the interim.
Samsung itself declined to comment on the story.
Ita€™ s likely that Samsung is hoping the Galaxy S84€™s streamlined design and virtual assistant, whom sources said is designed to
answer voiced questions from users, will help consumers forget the embarrassing debacle of last yeara€™ s Galaxy Note 7 recall, which
began in September after reports that the devicea€™ s 3,500 mAh battery was prone to heating up and exploding surfaced in late August.
Though Samsung officials initially believed that only batteries manufactured by one of its two suppliers, Samsung affiliate Samsung SDI
Co., were overheating, an internal investigation ultimately discovered the fires were caused both by irregularly sized batteries and
manufacturing issues.
According to the Wall Street J ournal, Samsung SDI has spent 150 billion Korean won (approximately $170 million Canadian) since the
Galaxy Note 7 recall on improving product safety, in addition to launching an X-ray inspection process for all batteries. The division is
expected to manufacture batteries for the Galaxy S8 too.

White Oak Music Hall finally reached a settlement in the long standing lawsuit with their north side neighbors over a noise complaint." This
is a historic moment in the city of Houston. A community came together to enforce their legal rights to control sound in its neighborhood,"
Houston Attorney Cris Feldman said.The attorney who filed the lawsuit for three neighbors with noise complaints said the settlement
agreement limits when shows can be held and monitors sound levels.Feldman stated that White Oaks Music Hall now has a limitation on
the number of shows they can have, limitations on how late shows can last on school nights - shows can be no later than 9:30 p.m. - and no
shows during student STAAR testing nights.The neighbors and White Oak Music Hall also agreed that a real sound monitoring system
would be set up on the music hall's patio to show real-time sound levels.Feldman said that the neighbors will be able to monitor the sound
system at all times. There will also be a camera set up above the sound system to avoid tampering of any kind.The attorney said if White
Oak Music Hall violates the court's order they could be taken to court again and fined up to $15,000 for violations." This is a major first step
for neighbors in the near north-side to control sound coming from White Oak. To be sure, residents are cautiously optimistic but will remain
vigilant, and are prepared to hold White Oak fully accountable if this opportunity is blown," says Feldman. "The settlement between the
neighbors and White Oak is a ground breaking and novel solution, that will also hopefully assist city elected officials with finding solutions,
rather than creating and ignoring problems."

DID you know that there really is such a thing as a hurdy gurdy?
Most people use the term when pointing to an object the name of which has escaped them.
But those attending the Lost Trades Fair at the Cobb+Co Museum at the weekend not only got to see a genuine hurdy gurdy but hear it too.
The instrument was born in the 11th century but perfected throughout the middle ages.
Woodwork specialist Pam McDiarmid of Gisborne in Victoria not only made her own hurdy gurdy but she taught herself to play it.
She demonstrated the music of the medieval instrument at the fair.
“It was quite a common instrument by the 15th century but it fell out of favour a little later on," she said.
“In the 18th century, ladies of the night used to play the hurdy gurdy to drum up business."
Mrs McDiarmid and husband Graeme, who provided music via an old mechanical organ, travelled from Victoria for the fair in Toowoomba.
Crowds in their thousands filed through the grounds of Cobb+Co Museum to see about 50 artisans demonstrating an array of lost and
traditional trades from wooden spoon making to blacksmithing to wood carving and leather work.
Olivia O'Connor travelled from Berrys Creek in South Gippsland to demonstrate her wooden rocking horses which she hand carves with
precision.
Each horse takes about a month to complete, though she works on three at a time.
"It takes a week just to paint them," she said.
"| do all the leather work myself and the manes and tails are real horse hair."
Meanwhile, emerging from a large crowd watching George Smithwick hand carving a wooden bucket, was Rodney Smith of Plainland who
had a hand carved wooden beer keg under his arm.
“I'm going to put soft-drink in it," he chuckled.

[Hezekiah] broke in pieces the bronze serpent that Moses had made, for until those days the people of Israel had made offerings to it (it was
called Nehushtan). a€“ 2 Kings 18:4
At Mathnasium a couple of years ago, we had a sweet little girl enroll who had just immigrated from India. We let all of our new students
design their own binder spines to help them find their binders, and she proceeded to draw a swastika on hers. Shocked and confused, |
quickly went online and found out that the swastika in Eastern cultures has meant 4€cegood fortunea€* for many centuries, and indeed, it
basically had the same meaning in Europe, which is why the Nazis chose it as their symbol. Unfortunately for that little girl, the symbol that
she drew as good luck symbol will not be interpreted that way by Americans who naturally see it as a symbol of hatred and evil.
Symbols dona€™ t have an intrinsic meaning. The meaning comes from a cultural understanding, and those understandings change over
time, as the culture changes.
When the Israelites were wandering in the desert, some of them spoke against God, so he sent venomous snakes among them, and they bit
people who died, but God told Moses to make a bronze serpent and put it on a pole, and anyone who looked at it was healed.
In J ohn 3:14, J esus said that the serpent was a symbol of him. It was a symbol of his death on the Cross. We will all die, but those of us
who can gaze upon his sacrifice on the Cross will live. What a wonderful symbol the bronze serpent was a€” a promise of eternal life!
Unfortunately, by the time of king Hezekiah a thousand years later, the serpent had become a false idol. Instead of a symbol of Goda€™ s
salvation, the serpent itself was being worshipped as a god, which they called Nehushtan. As such, it was better for it to be destroyed,
rather than be an occasion for the people of God to fall into idolatry.
The Confederate battle flag, and monuments to Confederate generals, were not constructed as symbols of racial hatred. For many
Southerners, the Civil War was not about slavery, and many Confederate generals were honorable men fighting for what they believed to be
a good cause.
But, unfortunately, the litte Indian girl doesna€™ t get to choose what a swastika means in America, and those of you who think that a
Confederate flag honors Southern heritage, or who think that Confederate monuments honor valiant men and are an important part of our
history a€” you dona€™ t get to decide what those symbols mean to our culture.
And whata€™ s happened is that the Confederate flag and Confederate monuments have become a Nehushtan. They have become gods to a
group of people bent on hate and violence. As such, wea€™ re better off without them.

Symbols don’t have an intrinsic meaning. The meaning comes from a cultural understanding, and those understandings change over time, as the culture changes.

Instead of a symbol of God’s salvation, the serpent itself was being worshipped as a god, which they called Nehushtan. As such, it was better for it to be destroyed, rather than be an occasion for the people of God to fall into idolatry.
The Confederate battle flag, and monuments to Confederate generals, were not constructed as symbols of racial hatred. For many Southerners, the Civil War was not about slavery, and many Confederate generals were honorable men fighting for what they believed to be a good cause.
But, unfortunately, the little Indian girl doesn’t get to choose what a swastika means in America, and those of you who think that a Confederate flag honors Southern heritage, or who think that Confederate monuments honor valiant men and are an important part of our history — you don’t get to decide what those symbols mean to our culture.
And what’s happened is that the Confederate flag and Confederate monuments have become a Nehushtan. They have become gods to a group of people bent on hate and violence. As such, we’re better off without them.

The Supreme Court verdict on the power tussle between the Delhi government and the centre has done away with all the possibilities of a
“blame game" between the BJ P and the AAP and the two parties should now ensure that the development of the national capital, which was
"stalled" for years, should start again, the Congress said today.
In a landmark verdict, the Supreme Court today held that Lieutenant Governor (LG) Anil Baijal did not have independent decision-making
powers and that he was bound to act on the aid and advice of the council of ministers.
"Since the apex court has clarified about the powers in Delhi, we hope that the development, which has been stalled ever since the
Congress was voted out of power over four years ago, will start again," Delhi Congress chief Ajay Maken told PTI.
He said the Lt Governor and chief minister Arvind Kejriwal should stop the "blame game" now and develop Delhi as the Congress did
during its 15-year rule (1998-2013).
The Supreme Court decision is a major victory for the Arvind Kejriwal-led Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government, which has been in a
constant tug of war with the LG over the power wielded by the two branches of the executive.

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) a€” A 21-year-old man has pleaded guilty to rape and other crimes following an attack on a Portland bus passenger.
Prosecutors say Gary Streeter-Hillerich was on a bus the 26-year-old woman boarded last October in downtown Portland. When the woman
got off the bus in southeast Portland, the suspect followed.
He grabbed her by the mouth and throat and moved her off the sidewalk. After the sexual assault, the man stole the woman's phone and
ordered to her to wait in the bushes for five minutes.
Detectives arrested Streeter-Hillerich after reviewing surveillance video from the TriMet bus.
In addition to rape, Streeter-Hillerich pleaded guilty Tuesday to sexual abuse, kidnapping and robbery.
Sentencing is scheduled for Aug. 2.

Swansea Universitya€™ s Health and Wellbeing Academy offers services to complement those provided by the NHS
Winner: Swansea University
Project: We wona€™ t keep you hanging on - how the Health and Wellbeing Academy has reduced NHS waiting lists
The Health and Wellbeing Academy (HWA) in Swansea Universitya€™ s College of Human and Health Sciences offers affordable and flexible
health services to the local community.
Established in 2016, it aims to offer support, advice and information to help people improve their own health and wellbeing through early
identification and diagnosis of conditions.
The academy offers a wide range of services including osteopathy, audiology, bereavement care, cardiology and pregnancy related
services including, breastfeeding support, hypnobirthing, postnatal support and positive parenting. There is also a private GP service and
regular health events are held in collaboration with charities including the British Heart Foundation.
The project leaders liaise closely with partners in the NHS, allowing the academy to help reduce waiting times for treatment and plug gaps
in provision. Many of the services offered are not available through the NHS, or in the region.
The academy also runs a further education programme designed to strengthen the local health and life science sector by bringing health
sciences to life for the students.
So far, the academy has treated 2,659 new patients and delivered 15 different health and wellbeing services. All profit from services is
reinvested back into research and education.
Runner up: De Montfort University Leicester (DMU)
Project: De Montfort University and HMP Leicester partnership, learning together
The partnership between De Montfort University Leicester (DMU) and the citya€™s prison has helped transform the fortunes of the
once-troubled jail.
The university ran Learning Together teaching workshops where prisoners and criminology students studied side-by-side, while students
constructed a memorial garden for prison staff, and revamped the prison visitorsa€™ room. DMU also helped to organise one of the
first-ever classical concerts in a prison, through a performance by a 32-piece orchestra, in addition to a two-week arts festival, called Talent
Unlocked. A prison research conference was also held inside the prison and at DMU.
The latest annual prison rankings has seen HMP Leicester rise from 104th position a€“ just five spots off bottom place a€“ to 47th in the
space of one year. The partnership with DMU is one of the reasons why the prison has improved so rapidly. The prison has also
experienced a 21% reduction in violence, bucking trends seen elsewhere in the country.
DMU funded the majority of the programme, which has involved more than 20 staff and 200 students across 15 projects since 2016-17. For
students, the project was an opportunity to gain a unique experience of working in a challenging environment with people from different
walks of life. Academics also benefited from the opportunity to adapt their teaching methods to a new environment.
Runner up: University of Manchester and University of Sheffield
Project: The industrial strategy commission
The industrial strategy commission aimed to provide independent, research-based insight to inform national policymaking. Among its
recommendations, it urged the government to tackle regional imbalances by committing to universal basic infrastructure, providing every
citizen with decent transport, schools, hospitals and digital access.
The commission was a joint initiative by Policy@ Manchester at the University of Manchester and the Sheffield Political Economy Research
Institute (SPERI) at the University of Sheffield.
It was established with a nine months deadline, so that its final report would be released at a critical time, ahead of the governmenta€™ s
planned industrial strategy white paper in the autumn.
The final report launch was attended by over 100 senior figures from policy and industry, including influential political figures Lord
Heseltine and Lord Willetts and advisors from the department for business, energy and industrial strategy, the treasury, and the cabinet
office.
The commissiona€™ s work achieved national news coverage and greatly influenced the governmenta€™ s vision for a new UK industrial
strategy in its white paper, which reflects the commissions emphasis on regional inequality.
The commission involved a wide range of academics, and held evidence sessions across the country, taking submissions from businesses
and think tanks.

Commenting on the event, the Vice Chancellor of the University, Professor Z. Debo Adeyewa, said that, a€ceas a state of the art world class

in preparing the youths for leadership positions. As one of the foremost private universities in the country, Redeemera€™ s University
firmly believes that leadership selection and grooming is a planned enterprise, and that serious nations embark on it to ensure continuity of
socio-economic and political progress that serves the common gooda€».
&€ceThis is why all our graduates are equipped with the required leadership skills-set that prepare them to face the unique challenges of the
21st century. We are a serious research based institution that is globally renowned for research and academic exploits. The Universitya€™ s
modules are deliberately and strategically designed to produce knowledgeable and confident graduates who can stand the pressures of life
and adapt to the ever changing situations in our dynamic society.
In particular, the University nurtures in the students the spirit of entrepreneurship, so that, its graduates would be in a position to create
jobs rather than rely on government employment, which is now indeed scarce,a€* Prof. Adeyewa added.
Furthermore, the co-Convener and Publisher of BrandiQ, Mr. Desmond Ekeh, explained that the goal of this special event is to ignite in the
Nigerian youths, at an early stage, the consciousness for purposeful leadership. Quoting Socrates, Ekeh said, a€ceThe secret of change is
to focus all of our energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the newa€* He added that, a€ceWe want to follow this path because, we
know that, development is fundamentally mental. So if we nurture the mind while it is fertile, we will in future reap a basketful of disciplined,
God-fearing, virtuous, committed, visionary and honest leaders to sustain Nigeriaa€™ s future developmenta€s.
According to him, a€ceNigeria is going through a rout of leadership deficit, and we cannot continue to stand aloof and do nothing about it,
hence the Redeemera€™ s University and BrandiQ a€“ having had a long standing relationship a€“ decided to organize this programme as
one way of finding solution to the leadership challenge in Nigeriaa€*.

b'LONDON A panel of global regulators could police a new system that allowed Britain and the European Union to use each other\'s financial\nrules after Brexit without disrupting markets, an advisory group said on Monday.\n\nBank of England Governor Mark Carney called last week for such a "mutual recognition" system, and on Monday the International\nRegulatory Strategy Group (IRSG) fleshed out how it could work in practice.\n\nThe IRSG, backed by TheCityUK, which promotes Britain as a financial centre, and the City of London Corporation, home to the "Square\nMile" financial district, said a dispute resolution model would be needed as the EU and UK regulatory systems diverge over time.\n\nThe IRSG set out several options, some currently used in free trade agreements, and some that would have to be started from scratch.\n"These disputes could be referred to a new independent panel, made up of global standards setters, such as the Financial Stability Board or\nInternational Organisation of Securities Commissions, or a new panel of experts predominantly from outside the UK and EU," the report\nsaid.\n\nBritain has triggered formal divorce talks with the EU, and it is unclear what the trading terms for cross-border financial services will be\nfrom 2019.\n\nReuters has already reported that the IRSG was proposing a mutual recognition model to avoid major disruption of cross-border customer\nlinks.\n\nBut it is unclear if the EU would accept such a regime, with some of its policymakers wanting an existing, more cumbersome system of EU\nmarket access - which banks in Britain want to avoid using - toughened up.\n\nFrankfurt, Paris, Luxembourg and Madrid also hope that financial business will relocate to them after Brexit.\n\nThe IRSG said the "criteria for access" to markets should be based on global rules agreed by the FSB, IOSCO or the Basel Committee,\nwhich sets bank capital requirements.\n\n\xe2\x80\x9cA joint UK-EU committee or forum could be established to make sure that regulation and principles of supervision are monitored as they\nevolve over time," the IRSG said.\n\nMutual recognition has never been tried on the scale being looked at by Britain and could take years to agree.\n\n"There are no easy solutions, here but if the goal is to avoid fragmentation and maintain deep and liquid financial markets which benefit\ncustomers, then the UK and the EU will need to work together constructively to strike the right deal," IRSG Chairman Mark Hoban said.\n(Reporting by Huw J ones; editing by Susan Thomas)\n\x0c' LONDON A panel of global regulators could police a new system that allowed Britain and the European Union to use each other's financial

Bank of England Governor Mark Carney called last week for such a "mutual recognition" system, and on Monday the International
Regulatory Strategy Group (IRSG) fleshed out how it could work in practice.
The IRSG, backed by TheCityUK, which promotes Britain as a financial centre, and the City of London Corporation, home to the "Square
Mile" financial district, said a dispute resolution model would be needed as the EU and UK regulatory systems diverge over time.
The IRSG set out several options, some currently used in free trade agreements, and some that would have to be started from scratch.
"These disputes could be referred to a new independent panel, made up of global standards setters, such as the Financial Stability Board or
International Organisation of Securities Commissions, or a new panel of experts predominantly from outside the UK and EU," the report
said.
Britain has triggered formal divorce talks with the EU, and it is unclear what the trading terms for cross-border financial services will be
from 2019.
Reuters has already reported that the IRSG was proposing a mutual recognition model to avoid major disruption of cross-border customer
links.
But it is unclear if the EU would accept such a regime, with some of its policymakers wanting an existing, more cumbersome system of EU
market access - which banks in Britain want to avoid using - toughened up.
Frankfurt, Paris, Luxembourg and Madrid also hope that financial business will relocate to them after Brexit.
The IRSG said the "criteria for access" to markets should be based on global rules agreed by the FSB, IOSCO or the Basel Committee,
which sets bank capital requirements.
“A joint UK-EU committee or forum could be established to make sure that regulation and principles of supervision are monitored as they
evolve over time," the IRSG said.
Mutual recognition has never been tried on the scale being looked at by Britain and could take years to agree.
"There are no easy solutions, here but if the goal is to avoid fragmentation and maintain deep and liquid financial markets which benefit
customers, then the UK and the EU will need to work together constructively to strike the right deal," IRSG Chairman Mark Hoban said.

Belgian soldiers and a police officer patrol in central Brussels November 21, 2015. Belgium has issued a European arrest warrant for a man
of Iranian origin that is being held in France suspected of being involved in an alleged plot to bomb an Iranian opposition rally on the
outskirts of Paris. 4€” Reuters pic
PARIS, J uly 4 4€” Belgium has issued a European arrest warrant for a man of Iranian origin that is being held in France suspected of being
involved in an alleged plot to bomb an Iranian opposition rally on the outskirts of Paris, a French judicial source said.
Belgium authorities are already investigating two Belgians of Iranian origin whom they arrested on Saturday, on the day of the National
Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) meeting, with 500 grammes of the homemade explosive TATP and a detonation device found in their
car.
The exiled Iranian opposition groupa€™ s meeting was attended by Donald Trumpa€™ s lawyer Rudy Giuliani.
&€oeA European arrest warrant has been issued (for the suspect held in Paris) by the Belgian authorities ,a€* the French judicial source said
today.
An Austria-based Iranian diplomat is also being questioned in Germany over the incident.
Iran has said it had nothing to do with the plot and was willing to help with the investigation. It has accused the Peoplea€™ s Mujahideen,
the main component of the NCRI, of being responsible.
French officials have declined to comment on the case saying the nature of the incident is unclear and very sensitive.
After the withdrawal of the United States from the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, its European signatories Britain, France and Germany have vowed
to save the agreement despite US pushing them to pull out.
Any sign Iranian authorities were behind the plot in France could make it politically complicated for leaders, especially President Emmanuel
Macron, to continue to back the deal.
The Austrian Foreign Ministry said on Tuesday it was stripping the diplomatic status of 46-year-old Iranian diplomat, Assadollah A, who
was arrested in Germany, suspected of having been in contact with the two arrested in Belgium.
Irana€™ s foreign ministry has rejected as baseless the allegations against the diplomat. a€” Reuters

The Threepenny Opera Barbara Windsor: a€ This is the most fantastic theatrical part la€™ ve ever had.a€™ Photograph: Neil Libbert for the
Observer
How politically committed is Barbara Windsor, the Cockney actress who stars in all those a€ceCarry Ona€s films? Having opened in the film
a€ceThe Boy Frienda€s last week, Miss Windsor opens in London on Thursday in a new production of Brechta€™s highly political play
a€ceThe Threepenny Operaa€s, his satirical attack on corruption in the Weimar Republic. Vanessa Redgrave is in it too, which doesna€™ t
surprise us.
a€ceWell, dear,a€* said Miss Windsor, 4€cela€™ ve always voted Conservative, if thata€™ s what you mean. Most actors do.a€* She said that

How politically committed is Barbara Windsor, the Cockney actress who stars in all those “Carry On” films? Having opened in the film “The Boy Friend” last week, Miss Windsor opens in London on Thursday in a new production of Brecht’s highly political play “The Threepenny Opera”, his satirical attack on corruption in the Weimar Republic. Vanessa Redgrave is in it too, which doesn’t surprise us.
“Well, dear,” said Miss Windsor, “I’ve always voted Conservative, if that’s what you mean. Most actors do.” She said that apart from Jennie Lee, Labour Governments were bad for the profession: they stuck the prices up. “Of course we all know Vanessa’s a raving socialist, but she’s a lovely girl, so you just don’t mention E Heath in her company.” Brecht? “No, dear, I don’t know him. We used to call Joan Littlewood ‘Mother Courage’. ‘Barb,’ she’d say, ‘you must do me a bit of Brecht one day. It would be nice for you.’”
Miss Windsor applied false eyelashes. “This is the most fantastic theatrical part I’ve ever had. I don’t come on till the second half. It’s what I call a doddle. Of course, the whole thing has lost a lot in translation. I once heard a record of Lotte Lenya singing those Kurt Weill songs – marvellous. No, I don’t speak German.”
Miss Windsor put on a wig and added that to tell the truth she hadn’t really seen much of this production because she’d been commuting to rehearsals from Liverpool, where she played an Ugly Sister in pantomime.

Obstacles to creativity litter Chinaa€™ s social and education landscape. China Photos/Getty Images American Lenora Chu enrolled her
young son, Rainey, in the Chinese public school system in Shanghai. The following is an excerpt from her book about the experience,
“Little Soldiers."
I'm a product of American culture.
When it comes to creativity, | romanticize the concept of a lone, eccentric genius in the image of Steve J obs. Who wouldn't dream of
retreating into a garage with a couple of circuit boards, and emerging with the foundations of a product that would revolutionize the way we
live or work?
The Chinese are little different; they also fantasize about unleashing a J obs-like visionary onto the world.
Yet, obstacles to creativity litter China's social and education landscape: Chinese students are lorded over in the classroom by
domineering teachers and exam metrics, then come home to parents who expect obeisance. "A chamber of stagnation," as my Chinese
student friend Amanda described her childhood. Once the Chinese enter the workplace, they run up against bosses who expect fealty, and
don't easily welcome ideas contrary to their own.
It's the vise grip of Confucian culture, with a fist of iron two-and-a-half-millennia strong.
But is the Chinese system all bleakness? Or is it simply that creativity comes from a different engine?
The creative life of the Chinesea€”while it may not always be evident inside the classrooma€”is humming inside China's marketplace. After
years of oppression and decades of restrictive economic policies, the Chinese have been raring for opportunities to build a better life for
themselves and their families. Even the tiniest bit of encouragement can unleash the floodgates of creative activity.
The proof is a spirit that thrives in public chat rooms and inside start-ups, spurred by government policy that boosts venture capital funds
and provides incentives to entrepreneurs. Out of the buzzing swamps of the Chinese tech world has emerged Tencenta€”which owns the
WeChat messaging platforma€” and Alibaba, one of the most watched companies in the world. The Chinese are also running circles around
Western companies in a handful of industries, including drone manufacturing, mobile payments and artificial intelligence.
Indeed, it's a fallacy to say the Chinese aren't creative, say those with decades of experience working on the ground in China. J ust because
someone's not skilled at communicating new ideasa€”doesn't mean those ideas don't exist in the first place.
In other words, dig a little deeper. "Coaching and training are my top priorities," says a Chinese chief technology officer who has worked
with thousand of young Chinese programmers and engineers. "It's my job to unwrap the chains. Some of them are extremely quick studies,
and they become the cream of the crop."
In fact, a few cultural qualities might actually prompt entrepreneurship and innovation.
One is authoritarianism. As much as Westerners 4€” and many Chinese themselves a€” denigrate the authoritarianism in China's social,
political, and education systems, it might actually prompt risk taking (though, it also clearly promotes breaking the law).
Harper "The Chinese are used to navigating brick wallsa€”you build a wall, and they will have figured out how to get around it even before
the cementis dry," says one for-profit education executive.
The Chinese tendency to shun planning might also give rise to experimentation; even cement is considered less permanent than it is in the
West. Crews in China pour roads, only to have the cement chopped up two weeks later to install pipes. In this anecdote is a sense that
anything is possible and the usual norms don't apply: Break then pour again, and again, and again.
And, any Chinese alive today is accustomed to change, the type so rapid it makes city dwellers of a family whose ancestors spent a
millennia working the land, and a prosperous Communist Party official of a boy whose grandparents starved to death during the Cultural
Revolution. China's pace of change is blinding, and its people have learned to take risks and be creative as a matter of survival.
Lastly, a strength of the Chinese marketplace is that change happens quickly, at a pace and fashion astounding to most Westerners who
work here. In this environment, perhaps individual creativity, so valued in the West, is trumped by determination and opportunity.
“If it's doggedness, the Chinese have that in spades, and willingness to try- fail-try-fail," said an American investor friend who's worked in
China for fifteen years. Does this all mean that China can't produce a Steve J obs . . . or does it simply mean the type of revolutionary
change will just look a little different?"

Harper "The Chinese are used to navigating brick wallsa€”you build a wall, and they will have figured out how to get around it even before
the cementis dry," says one for-profit education executive.
The Chinese tendency to shun planning might also give rise to experimentation; even cement is considered less permanent than it is in the
West. Crews in China pour roads, only to have the cement chopped up two weeks later to install pipes. In this anecdote is a sense that
anything is possible and the usual norms don't apply: Break then pour again, and again, and again.
And, any Chinese alive today is accustomed to change, the type so rapid it makes city dwellers of a family whose ancestors spent a

Revolution. China's pace of change is blinding, and its people have learned to take risks and be creative as a matter of survival.
Lastly, a strength of the Chinese marketplace is that change happens quickly, at a pace and fashion astounding to most Westerners who
work here. In this environment, perhaps individual creativity, so valued in the West, is trumped by determination and opportunity.
“If it's doggedness, the Chinese have that in spades, and willingness to try- fail-try-fail," said an American investor friend who's worked in
China for fifteen years. Does this all mean that China can't produce a Steve J obs . . . or does it simply mean the type of revolutionary
change will just look a little different?"

Obstacles to creativity litter China’s social and education landscape. China Photos/Getty Images American Lenora Chu enrolled her young son, Rainey, in the Chinese public school system in Shanghai. The following is an excerpt from her book about the experience, "Little Soldiers."
I'm a product of American culture.
When it comes to creativity, I romanticize the concept of a lone, eccentric genius in the image of Steve Jobs. Who wouldn't dream of retreating into a garage with a couple of circuit boards, and emerging with the foundations of a product that would revolutionize the way we live or work?
The Chinese are little different; they also fantasize about unleashing a Jobs-like visionary onto the world.
Yet, obstacles to creativity litter China's social and education landscape: Chinese students are lorded over in the classroom by domineering teachers and exam metrics, then come home to parents who expect obeisance. "A chamber of stagnation," as my Chinese student friend Amanda described her childhood. Once the Chinese enter the workplace, they run up against bosses who expect fealty, and don't easily welcome ideas contrary to their own.
It's the vise grip of Confucian culture, with a fist of iron two-and-a-half-millennia strong.
But is the Chinese system all bleakness? Or is it simply that creativity comes from a different engine?
The creative life of the Chinese—while it may not always be evident inside the classroom—is humming inside China's marketplace. After years of oppression and decades of restrictive economic policies, the Chinese have been raring for opportunities to build a better life for themselves and their families. Even the tiniest bit of encouragement can unleash the floodgates of creative activity.
The proof is a spirit that thrives in public chat rooms and inside start-ups, spurred by government policy that boosts venture capital funds and provides incentives to entrepreneurs. Out of the buzzing swamps of the Chinese tech world has emerged Tencent—which owns the WeChat messaging platform— and Alibaba, one of the most watched companies in the world. The Chinese are also running circles around Western companies in a handful of industries, including drone manufacturing, mobile payments and artificial intelligence.
Indeed, it's a fallacy to say the Chinese aren't creative, say those with decades of experience working on the ground in China. Just because someone's not skilled at communicating new ideas—doesn't mean those ideas don't exist in the first place.
In other words, dig a little deeper. "Coaching and training are my top priorities," says a Chinese chief technology officer who has worked with thousand of young Chinese programmers and engineers. "It's my job to unwrap the chains. Some of them are extremely quick studies, and they become the cream of the crop."
In fact, a few cultural qualities might actually prompt entrepreneurship and innovation.
One is authoritarianism. As much as Westerners — and many Chinese themselves — denigrate the authoritarianism in China's social, political, and education systems, it might actually prompt risk taking (though, it also clearly promotes breaking the law).
Harper "The Chinese are used to navigating brick walls—you build a wall, and they will have figured out how to get around it even before the cement is dry," says one for-profit education executive.

(Reuters Health) - Loud noise exceeding levels that can damage hearing is regularly encountered by commuters using buses, subways and
even biking, a Canadian study suggests.
&€ceThe effects of noise on our hearing health and overall health has been garnering a lot of recent attention and our team recently
commented that commuting in the city, in general, seems to be quite noisy, so we decided to take our noise dosimeters on common
commuting routes to see exactly how loud things got,a€* senior study author Dr. Vincent Lin told Reuters Health by email.
&€ceThose short bursts of sudden noise, if exposed to repeatedly and over a long period of time, may lead to permanent hearing loss,a€*
said Lin, a researcher with the University of Toronto and Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre.
Although average noise levels measured on commutes around Toronto were within the recommended levels of safe exposure most of the
time, bursts of loud noise on both public and private modes of transportation could still place individuals at risk of noise-induced hearing
loss, Lina€™ s team writes in the J ournal of Otolaryngology - Head & Neck Surgery.
The World Health Organization estimates that more than 360 million people live with disabling hearing loss and about 16 percent of that
damage is the result of noise-induced hearing loss, the authors note.
Many standards for safe noise exposure have been established, Lin said. The WHO/EPA recommends no more than 15 minutes if the sound
is louder than 90 decibels (dB). For sounds around 75 dB, then up to eight hours of exposure is acceptable.
To measure noise exposure for users of the Toronto transit system, the researchers used small devices called noise dosimeters attached to
their shirt collars, about 2 inches (5.08 cm) away from their ears. The devices measure sound levels in so-called A-weighted decibels (dBA),
reflecting the actual sound level 4€ceweighteda€ to account for the human eara€™ s sensitivity to different frequencies.
The study team collected measurements between April and August 2016, inside vehicles and outside or on boarding platforms, for several
forms of private and public transportation - subways, buses, streetcars, private automobiles and biking or walking.
They found that average noise level was greater inside subway cars, at about 77 dBA and buses, at about 80 dBA, than inside the streetcar,
where it was about 72 dBA. Average noise levels in waiting and boarding areas were higher still, at about 81 dBA for the subway platform
and 80 dBA for buses and streetcars.
When the researchers examined how the loudest, or a€cepeak,a€* noises compared to the EPA thresholds for safe exposure, they found
that about 20 percent of the peak noises measured on the subway were greater than the EPA limit of 114 dBA for 4 seconds, and 20 percent
of the loudest noises inside streetcars were greater than the EPA limit of 120 dBA for 1 second.
About 85 percent of peak noise measurements taken from bus platforms were greater than 114 dBA, and over half were greater than 120
dBA. All peak noise exposures while riding a bike exceeded 117 dBA, the EPA limit for 2 seconds of exposure, and 85 percent were greater
than 120 dBA.
When the authors estimated exposure for an average Toronto commuter who uses public transportation for about 47 minutes, they
calculated that 9 percent of the subway noise exposure, 12 percent of bus exposure and 14 percent of biking exposure exceed
recommended thresholds.
&€cel like the study because it points out that we are living in a noisy environment and that constant exposure to high sound levels occurs
and has the potential to accumulate and finally lead to damage of the ear and subsequent hearing loss,a€* said Dr. Claus-Peter Richter, an
otolaryngologist at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago who wasna€™ t involved in the study.
Richter suggests having earplugs handy. a€ceBetter earplugs run on the order of 12 dollars and should be always either in your ears if it is
loud or in your pocket in a case,a€* he said by email.
&€oePersonally, | wear hearing protection in the movies because of loud peak sound levels. Earplugs reduce your sound levels by about 20
dB and put you in a safe position,a€* he said.

An early-morning house fire destroyed a home that once belonged to a key player in Kansas City's baseball history.
Scroll for more content...
J ust before 3 a.m. Tuesday, fire crews were called to a home on 28th Street in Kansas City, Missouri.
When they arrived, the home was fully engulfed in flames. At one point firefighters evacuated the home due to concerns with the roof.
The home was abandoned but was once owned by Hall of Fame pitcher and former KC Monarch Satchel Paige.
Paige was the first African-American pitcher to play in a World Series and played a game with the KC A's at age 59.
"Me and my little sister, we used to make mud pies...play jump rope and have my brother pull us in the wagon," Lula Paige, Satchel's
daughter, said of her childhood at the house.
“It's kind of sad for my family, because this is a history house for them," Andrea Paige, Satchel's granddaughter, added.
Carter Foster and his wife moved onto the block while Paige still lived in the home, and said Tuesday morning that he hated to see the
home go the way it did.
"This was a kind of landmark, and we are really going to miss that," Foster said.
The house looks much different than it did when the Paige family called it home. It's boarded up and has been the subject of 47 property
violations with the city since 2010. Current owner Brian Cushon inherited the house from his mother in 2016 and said they've struggled to
keep squatters and their litter away from the property. Cushon added that just two weeks ago, a neighbor saw someone entering the house.
News of Tuesday morning's fire was devastating to J an J ohnson, a member of the Santa Fe Area Council. The neighborhood association
just discussed finding the funding to restore the house at a meeting last weekend.
“When you have a house like this, you just don't bulldoze it," J ohnson said.
Bob Kendrick, president of the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum, said the museum also had hopes of one day making the home into
something more.
"In the back of our minds, we had hoped to do something to help people understand the greatness of Satchel Paige - who was a part of this
community for so many years," Kendrick said.
Cushon confirmed to 41 Action News both the neighborhood association and the NLBM have asked him not to bulldoze the house until
someone can take a closer look at the structure.
“We prefer to think that it hasn't been destroyed, that there's a hiccup in our process and we have to deal with it," J ohnson said.
The Paige family just wishes something would have been done sooner.
"| feel like they should've kept it and kept it up, and it could have been a family house. Maybe if it was more of a family house like it used to
be, then it wouldn't be like this right now," Andrea Paige said.
Crews are still working to determine the cause of the fire.

News of Tuesday morning's fire was devastating to J an J ohnson, a member of the Santa Fe Area Council. The neighborhood association
just discussed finding the funding to restore the house at a meeting last weekend.
“When you have a house like this, you just don't bulldoze it," J ohnson said.
Bob Kendrick, president of the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum, said the museum also had hopes of one day making the home into
something more.
"In the back of our minds, we had hoped to do something to help people understand the greatness of Satchel Paige - who was a part of this
community for so many years," Kendrick said.
Cushon confirmed to 41 Action News both the neighborhood association and the NLBM have asked him not to bulldoze the house until
someone can take a closer look at the structure.
“We prefer to think that it hasn't been destroyed, that there's a hiccup in our process and we have to deal with it," J ohnson said.
The Paige family just wishes something would have been done sooner.
"| feel like they should've kept it and kept it up, and it could have been a family house. Maybe if it was more of a family house like it used to
be, then it wouldn't be like this right now," Andrea Paige said.
Crews are still working to determine the cause of the fire.

An early-morning house fire destroyed a home that once belonged to a key player in Kansas City's baseball history.
Scroll for more content...
Just before 3 a.m. Tuesday, fire crews were called to a home on 28th Street in Kansas City, Missouri.
When they arrived, the home was fully engulfed in flames. At one point firefighters evacuated the home due to concerns with the roof.
The home was abandoned but was once owned by Hall of Fame pitcher and former KC Monarch Satchel Paige.
Paige was the first African-American pitcher to play in a World Series and played a game with the KC A's at age 59.
"Me and my little sister, we used to make mud pies...play jump rope and have my brother pull us in the wagon," Lula Paige, Satchel's daughter, said of her childhood at the house.
"It's kind of sad for my family, because this is a history house for them," Andrea Paige, Satchel's granddaughter, added.
Carter Foster and his wife moved onto the block while Paige still lived in the home, and said Tuesday morning that he hated to see the home go the way it did.
"This was a kind of landmark, and we are really going to miss that," Foster said.
The house looks much different than it did when the Paige family called it home. It's boarded up and has been the subject of 47 property violations with the city since 2010. Current owner Brian Cushon inherited the house from his mother in 2016 and said they've struggled to keep squatters and their litter away from the property. Cushon added that just two weeks ago, a neighbor saw someone entering the house.

Last night saw Made in Chelsea star Toff crowned queen of the jungle in the finale of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!
Toff, whose real name is Georgia Toffolo, had won fans over with her cheerful nature and fearlessness during gruesome jungle tasks on the
show, an approach that helped her beat J amie Lomas and lain Lee to the crown.
But some viewers are convinced that Toff, 23, had already been earmarked to win the ITV series from the start, and have claimed she was
given more air-time than her fellow contestants in a subtle bid to influence voting.
One disgruntled fan describes the 2017 result as a ‘f**ing farce’, and called on ITV to release the voting figures.
Georgia 'Toff' Toffolo, 23, was crowned the winner of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! 2017 on Sunday night
Toff has already been predicted to make a whopping A£5million off the back of her win, with ITV reportedly fighting against E4 - home of the
show that made her famous, Made in Chelsea - to hire her as a presenter, as well as plotting a spin-off show of her own.
She won the hearts of viewers thanks to her fearlessness while taking on trials, which included being locked underground while bugs were
poured on top of her.
But despite her unexpectedly game attitude to being plucked from her cosseted world and deposited in the bush with little more than a
toothbrush, many fans of the show remain convinced her victory was assured from the outset.
One tweeted: 'Heavily editing Toff tonight so she gets all the airtime. Producers must have had a tenner on her!'
Viewers called the result a fix, arguing that Toff won because she got the most airtime out of all the contestants
‘Toff was really lovely and had a great can-do spirit, but she was so clearly positioned by ITV with a premium of airtime to win,’ another
posted.
A third wrote: 'OMG it's Toff, not like we've all known that since they started giving her the most air time on day 1.’
‘So from the very 1st show I said Toff would win because of her airtime - next year I'm defo gonna place a bet and be rich,' a fourth agreed.
MailOnline has contacted ITV and is awaiting comment.
Toff is reported to have been offered more television work on ITV, as well as her home channel of E4
ITV could benefit from Georgia's win, as it's reported that they're keen to sign her up for more shows on the channel.
According to the Mirror, ITV2 is keen to give the reality star her own series, and even envisage the 23-year-old as a presenter for their
channel next year.
A source said: 'Georgia is in a enviable position now. She will be in the next series of Made In Chelsea, but beyond that there are lots of
options and lots of interest.
‘Channel 4 will be keen to keep Toff as one of their stars on E4 as she also recently appeared on their Celebs Go Dating series. So she will
have some tough decisions to make in terms of TV, but the future looks very bright’.
She beat J amie Lomas and lain Lee to the crown, who came in second and third place respectively
She also appeared on Good Morning Britain on the channel this morning, and was offered a job by Piers Morgan.
Asked what her plans were after taking the reality show crown, she told Piers Morgan and Susanna Reid: ‘I want to do what you guys do a€“
I want to try it! But | mean, who knows! I'm just completely and utterly overwhelmed.’
Teasing his co-host, Piers replied: 'You know Toff, we could have a vacancy on this desk, absolutely no problem at alla€}'.

The links among extreme environments, genetics, and the human ability to adapt
By KAREN COATES
Monday, August 14, 2017
High-altitude landscapes are some of the most inhospitable places on Earth. They are cold, dry, and oxygen-poor. They were the last places
humans settleda€”yet people did it and they survived. But how? For archaeologist Mark Aldenderfer of the University of California, Merced,
a fundamental trait of humanity is our ability to adapt, especially to extreme environments. From the Himalayas to the Andes to the
Ethiopian Plateau, people have evolved in ways that allow them to live at high altitude. 4€ceTheya€™ ve all converged on a solution,a€* he
says. 4€ceTheya€™ ve all found a way to live at high elevation.a€* Aldenderfer has assembled a team of experts in disciplines ranging from
bioarchaeology to ethnography, paleoclimatology, geochronology, genetics, evolutionary medicine, and even mountaineering to augment
archaeological research in order to understand what has clearly come about by way of evolution. He says, a€ceYou need the story of the
people who lived at that time to tell you how these things actually worked. Ita€™s about the whole process by which people adapt
culturally, biologically, and genetically.a€* Aldenderfer began his research in the 1970s as a graduate student on the Ethiopian Plateau, one
of the highest in the world, where he studied the remains of the Iron Age trading empire of Aksum. Political turmoil cut his research short,
and it became impossible to go back. A short while later, he took a research position high in the Peruvian Andes, studying early
hunter-gatherers. Aldenderfer realized he had stumbled into a niche of untapped archaeological research on early human adaptation to
high-elevation environments. Working at such heights can be excruciating. A throbbing head, aching lungs, sleeplessness, fatigue,
wheezing, coughing, confusion, and rapid pulse are all associated with hypoxia, a condition where tissues cana€™ t get enough oxygen. It
occurs when people accustomed to living at lower altitudes climb above 8,000 feet, and it can be dangerous and lead to pulmonary edema,
stroke, and even death. Women who arena€™ t adapted to high elevations can have a much harder time bearing children and risk having
low-birth-weight babies. Nevertheless, people have successfully settled at these altitudes for millenniaa€”perhaps 7,000 years or more. The
question is, how does such an adaptation come about? Jacqueline Eng, Western Michigan University biological anthropologist and
osteology expert on Aldenderfera€™ s team, explains, 4€ceWhen wea€™ re challenged by the environment, if some individuals have genetic
traits that enable them to survive and reproduce more successfully than others who lack that trait, then those with the beneficial traits live
and pass those traits along until it becomes more common in populations owing to the advantage it confers.a€* It can be observed that,
compared with people who live at sea level, Tibetans breathe more frequently and take in more oxygen, and they have expanded blood
vessels that enhance the delivery of oxygen throughout the body. Andeans have higher levels of hemoglobin, the protein responsible for
transporting oxygen in the bloodstream, so their blood cells carry more oxygen than those of lowlanders. Studies of highland Ethiopians,
too, indicate genetic adaptations to low-oxygen environments. Something must confer these adaptations. Eng says there are several telltale
alleles found in high-altitude populations where hypoxia is a major challenge. An allele is one of multiple versions of the same gene that
determine various physiological traitsa€”blood type in humans, for example, or the distinct color of a rose. Alleles can be thought of as
recipes for the same genea€”think of the difference between spaghetti with meatballs and spaghetti with ground beef. In evolutionary
terms, random mutations create new recipes for alleles that may eventually come to exist throughout a population. Video: High Altitude
Genetics
In the case of Himalayans, ancient and modern, two particular alleles have promoted adaptation to high elevation and the avoidance of
hypoxia. One of those alleles is known as EGLN1, which, Aldenderfer says, is estimated to have appeared around 8,800 years ago. Another
allele, EPAS1, has a fascinating origin story. It dates back to the Denisovans, an extinct hominin species that lived in the Altai Mountains of
Siberia some 45,000 to 50,000 years ago. Scientists do not yet understand where or how, but it seems that, at some point, the Denisovans
encountered early modern humans and, somewhere along the way, their EPAS1 gene ended up on the Tibetan Plateau. Recovering the
ancient DNA that allows for these conclusions is meticulous work, and is hampered by the fact that many of the worlda€™s highland
environments, such as those in Ethiopia and Tibet, are politically unstable or otherwise off-limits. Nevertheless, Aldenderfera€™ s team has
been able to conduct what appears to be the first investigation of the ancient DNA of the people of the Himalayan arc. They have sequenced
the genomes of eight individuals who lived during three distinct cultural periods between 1,250 and 3,150 years ago, in what is now Upper
Mustang, Nepal, at altitudes between about 9,000 and 14,000 feet. The teama€™s primary questions are: Where did these people come
from? Did they have the adaptive alleles for high altitude? If so, which ones? And how do the genetic findings relate to any artifacts found
nearby? There have been many hypotheses about the identities and origins of early people living in these high valleys, with some
researchers suspecting that they came from elsewhere in Asia. But according to Christina Warinner of the Max Planck Institute for the
Science of Human History in J ena, Germany, who is responsible for DNA extraction from the human remains from Upper Mustang, the
genome sequencing has revealed that a€cegenetically, these people are almost certainly coming from the Tibetan Plateaua€”they look very
similar to present-day Tibetan populations.a€* Warinner works with Anna Di Rienzo of the University of Chicagoa€™ s Department of Human
Genetics, who directs the teama€™s genomics research. By identifying the alleles that promote adaptation to high elevation and then
comparing those of the closest modern population to those in the ancient samples, the team has found that while cultures, religions, and

Studies of highland Ethiopians,\ntoo, indicate genetic adaptations to low-oxygen environments. Something must confer these adaptations. Eng says there are several telltale\nalleles found in high-altitude populations where hypoxia is a major challenge.

One of those alleles is known as EGLN1, which, Aldenderfer says, is estimated to have appeared around 8,800 years ago. Another\nallele, EPAS1, has a fascinating origin story. It dates back to the Denisovans, an extinct hominin species that lived in the Altai Mountains of\nSiberia some 45,000 to 50,000 years ago. Scientists do not yet understand where or how, but it seems that, at some point, the Denisovans\nencountered early modern humans and, somewhere along the way, their EPAS1 gene ended up on the Tibetan Plateau. Recovering the\nancient DNA that allows for these conclusions is meticulous work, and is hampered by the fact that many of the worlda\xe2\x82\xac\xe2\x84\xa2s highland\nenvironments, such as those in Ethiopia and Tibet, are politically unstable or otherwise off-limits.

TORONTO - With its blend of music, comedy and a fast-talking perfectionist character, "The Mayor" offered Lea Michele "a litte bit of
everything" she was looking for as a followup to "Glee."
She just needed help from some political pros to play the driven chief of staff to Brandon Micheal Hall's lead character, a young rapper who
runs for mayor of his Northern California town in an effort to build buzz for his mixtape.
"Jeremy Bronson, who is the brains, writer, creator, genius behind 'The Mayor,' put me in touch with some incredible women who worked
with Obama, actually, and helped me prepare for this role," said Michele, who received two Golden Globe nominations for playing Type A
teen Rachel Berry on "Glee."
Debuting Saturday at 8:30 p.m. on CTV after its premiere on ABC this past Tuesday, the comedy series sees Hall's character surprisingly
win his bid for mayor, leading to an entertainer-turned-unlikely leader scenario reminiscent of what's unfolding in the U.S.
Although the show was created before U.S. President Donald Trump was elected, it is timely. In the first episode, for instance, there's a
reference to White House senior advisor Kellyanne Conway.
"This show talks about some important political issues but it does it in a really lighthearted (way), and (that) we're delivering this message
through music and through comedy is so great," Michele, 31, said in a recent interview in Toronto.
“It's the best time to do it because a lot of kids will be able to relate to the show," added Hall, 24, who was doing the interview with Michele
via speakerphone because he couldn't make it to Toronto for the press day.
"They're finally going to see people that look like them or people that act the way that they act, and they're going to see them in these really
powerful and strong but also witty and comical positions during a time where things are a little bit grey and a little bit not so comical
anymore."

Jill Ellis received $90,000 in bonus and incentive compensation for coaching the U.S. women's national soccer team to the 2015 World Cup
title, less than a fifth of what) urgen Klinsmann collected for guiding the men to the tournament's second round a year earlier.
Ellis's bonus was among the figures revealed in the U.S. Soccer Federation's tax return for 2015-16, which was posted on the nonprofit
organization's website Tuesday night.
Coaches agree to terms of potential bonuses when they sign contracts; Ellis was hired in May 2014. After winning the 2015 championship,
she signed a new deal with the federation, running through the 2019 World Cup in France. Salary and bonus details were not disclosed.
Ellis's previous salary, according to the tax records, was $216,407. So the $90,000 bonus was 42 percent of her base earnings and, with
other income, raised her total package between April 1, 2015, and March 31, 2016, to $327,332.
Klinsmann's base salary in 2015-16 grew to $3,050,000, a 12.7 percent increase from the previous fiscal year. Over his 5 1/2-year tenure, the
former German superstar had, by far, the highest coaching salary in U.S. soccer history. He was also the technical director for men's
soccer.
Klinsmann received $500,000 in bonuses for the period covering the 2014 World Cup in Brazil - which constitutes 18 percent of his base
earnings. The Americans finished second in the so-called Group of Death (featuring Germany and Portugal) before losing to Belgium in the
round of 16.
Klinsmann did not receive any bonuses in 2015-16, according to the tax records.
Last November, after two defeats to start the final round of 2018 World Cup qualifying, Klinsmann was fired with two years left on his
second contract. It's unclear whether the USSF continues paying him or cut ties through a severance package.
His successor, Bruce Arena, was hired in December. Contract figures were not disclosed.
Even with the bonus, Ellis earned less than Klinsmann's top assistant, Andi Herzog, who made $393,000 in base salary and $426,000 overall
in 2015-16. Herzog left the program when Klinsmann was dismissed.
Members of the U.S. women's team made $126,000 in base salary (which encompasses service to the national team as well as to the
National Women's Soccer League) and received $99,450 in World Cup bonuses for a total of $225,450.
The previous year, the U.S. men's World Cup players collected much larger bonuses - Clint Dempsey, for instance, claimed $382,000 - but
the men's tournament generates substantially more revenue than the women's competition. That money is subsequently passed along to
participating federations by FIFA, soccer's global governing body.
The 2015 women's champion (United States) received $2 million, while the 2014 men's winner (Germany) got $35 million. For advancing to
the knockout stage, the U.S. men earned $9 million. Much of that money is distributed among the players. The USSF has been pushing FIFA
to increase women's earnings in future World Cups.
In general, the U.S. men and women have different salary structures: The men have contracts with individual pro teams and are
compensated by the USSF for national team work only, while most of the women are paid by the federation to play in the NWSL and for the
national team. (An exception is Crystal Dunn, who left the NWSL for English club Chelsea this winter and receives a prorated salary for
national team duty.)
This spring, the USSF and women's players' association agreed to a new collective bargaining agreement running through 2021. In it, the
women will receive base pay increases and additional benefits, including the ability to control group likeness rights for licensing.
Dan Flynn, the USSF's chief executive, had a base salary of $585,000 and received a $110,000 bonus in 2015-16. J ay Berhalter, the chief
commercial officer, earned $432,000, plus a $100,000 bonus. USSF President Sunil Gulati and the federation's board of directors are not
compensated.

William “Bill” Marshall, co-founder and chair emeritus of the Toronto International Film Festival, died on Sunday after suffering from cardiac arrest, his family confirmed in a press release. He was 77. Marshall immigrated to Canada from Scotland in 1955. He was “a proud Canadian and Member of the Order of Canada, an honour he received for his many contributions to the arts,” his family wrote. Marshall co-founded TIFF ― originally called the Festival of Festivals ― in 1976 along with Henk Van der Kolk and Dusty Cohl. In the festival’s first three years, Marshall also served as the organization’s director. “He was a pioneer in the Canadian film industry and his vision of creating a public Festival that would bring the world to Toronto through the transformative power of cinema stands today as one of his most significant legacies,” TIFF director and CEO Piers Handling said in a statement. “Without his tenacity and dedication, the Toronto International Film Festival would not be among the most influential public cultural festivals today.” Throughout his career in the Canadian film industry, Marshall produced 13 feature films, and numerous documentaries and live theater productions. His family’s statement notes that Marshall played an important role in helping establish various film organizations in Canada, including the Academy of Canadian Cinema & Television and The Toronto Film & Television Office. Aside from his work in film, Marshall was heavily involved in Toronto’s political scene, serving as campaign manager and chief of staff for three Toronto mayors, his family said. Former Toronto Mayor David Crombie sang Marshall’s praises to the London Free Press. “He carried the charm of life with him wherever he went and never allowed mere means to limit grand ends ― particularly if a good time was to be had in the process,” Crombie said. “He lived the life he dreamed of as a boy in the hard part of Glasgow and the one he wanted to enjoy in the celebrated salons of Toronto.” Crombie added, “He paid his way in the rare coin of talent, creativity and wit and those who knew him will always be cheerfully in his debt and will never forget him.” In their statement, Marshall’s family said he was a man “in the business of making dreams become reality,” noting that he still had several projects in development at the time of his death. “Now, as the house lights dim, friends and family will remember and honor Bill as a first-rate raconteur, famous for his honesty, keen mind, and wry humor,” the family said.

Narcotic Wasteland, the full-time project of former Nile frontman Dallas Toler-Wade, is set to release a brand new, full-length album, entitled
Delirium Tremens, on October 13th via Megaforce Records/MRI. Delirium Tremens is now available for pre-order here, with more options
coming soon.
A few weeks ago, the band surprised fans with a brand new track, "Faces Of Meth", to great acclaim. Today, you can watch a guitar
playthrough of the track.
Dallas says, "When writing this song, | was tapping into some of the musical ideas | had in the early 90s. | have always loved the toxic
tri-tone sound. So, years ago | figured out a way to play them using my index and middle, then kind of hammering on the next strings over
with my middle and pinky. This is all over the two albums in one form or another, and it is something | have quite enjoyed experimenting
with over the years."
Check out an official Gear Gods "Rigged" video detailing the guitar gear used on Delirium Tremens:
Delirium Tremens shines a spotlight on negative human behavior, again inspired by - but not entirely based on - our country's addiction
epidemic. Loosely inspired by the unstable drug culture present in the band's stomping grounds of Fayetteville, North Carolina, Delirium
Tremens traverses an atmosphere of instability and toxicity that audibly manifests as a gritty, unrelenting, pulverizing extreme metal storm.
On Delirium Tremens, Narcotic Wasteland manages to create challenging music without losing a sense of meaning and vital emotional
connection with the listener.
"The topic of drug use and death is still present, but we are also branching off a bit to talk about venomous human behavior, self-reflection,
and big pharmaceutical companies ruining lives for big profits," continues Dallas."I'm very excited for our fans, and fans of metal to hear
this album. | feel in many ways it's our best work, yet | feel we are only skimming the surface of what is possible with this band."
Delirium Tremens was produced and mixed by Narcotic Wasteland at Vegas View Recording and Dallas' home studio. For recording and
mixing, the band tapped Grammy award winning producer Neil Kernon at Auslander, with mastering by metal producer-elite Alan Douches
at West West Side Music.
Dallas adds: "I have worked with Neil Kernon on many albums at this point. He has always inspired me and pushed me to be better than |
thought I could be. He is a great producer and a great friend. He is brutally honest. That's one of the things I love about him the most."

GUINDA, Calif. (AP) 4€” The Latest on wildfires in the Western United States (all times local):
11:05 a.m.
Officials have ordered more Utah residents to evacuate their homes as crews struggled to gain control over a wildfire burning near a
popular fishing reservoir.
The fire burning near Strawberry Reservoir has grown to 62 square miles (160 square kilometers) over three days amid high wind gusts,
steep terrain and extremely dry conditions.

It has destroyed about 30 structures and led officials to evacuate several hundred homes and cabins in the area about two hours southeast
of Salt Lake City.
Officials on Wednesday didn't have an updated count of buildings evacuated or destroyed. But they extended evacuations to an area dotted
with trees and cabins stretching about 20 miles (32 kilometers).
The blaze started Sunday. Officials believe it was human-caused but they're still investigating how it started.
10:35 a.m.
Crews battling a Northern California wildfire that's threatening nearly 1,400 buildings are hoping to take advantage of cooler weather to
tackle the flames.
Fire spokesman Israel Pinzon says Wednesday is expected to be the coolest day of the week, with temperatures 10 to 15 degrees lower
than the triple digits that firefighters have faced.
Roughly 2,500 people had been forced from their homes. Pinzon says officials lifted some mandatory evacuations Tuesday night, though he
didn't know how many people were allowed to return home.
The fire has burned through about 129 square miles (334 square kilometers) in rural counties northwest of Sacramento. It is 25 percent
contained.
No structures have been damaged or destroyed.
10:20 a.m.
A southern Colorado wildfire that has destroyed more than 100 homes is still growing.
Officials said Wednesday that the fire has burned 147 square miles (381 square kilometers) since it began J une 27.
Officials estimated that the fire about 205 miles (330 kilometers) southwest of Denver is still just 5 percent contained.
They say preventing the fire from spreading further south toward the small mountain town of Cuchara is a priority Wednesday.
Crews are watching for small fires inside neighborhoods as unpredictable winds persist. Nearly 1,000 firefighters are in the area.
8:45 a.m.
Crews are making progress against a Northern California wildfire that threatens hundreds of buildings but say wind and dry vegetation
could still fuel the blaze.
California officials said the fire in rural counties northwest of Sacramento was 25 percent contained as of Wednesday morning. That's up
from 15 percent the previous day.
It has burned through 129 square miles (334 square kilometers) after igniting Saturday. Some areas have been under evacuation orders for
days.
It's among the massive wildfires burning in the Western United States and putting some Fourth of J uly plans on hold.

Officials have ordered more Utah residents to evacuate their homes as crews struggled to gain control over a wildfire burning near a
popular fishing reservoir.
The fire burning near Strawberry Reservoir has grown to 62 square miles (160 square kilometers) over three days amid high wind gusts,
steep terrain and extremely dry conditions.

Egyptian police have arrested 12 people at a protest against the transfer of two Red Sea islands to Saudi Arabia.
Security officials say the Monday arrests were made around the J ournalistsa€™ Union building in central Cairo, where dozens of people,
mostly lawyers and journalists, had gathered to demonstrate. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they werena€™ t
authorized to brief reporters.
Last Thursday, state media reported that President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissia€™ s government approved the maritime border agreement and
sent it to parliament for ratification despite a court ruling the deal unconstitutional.
The transfer was announced alongside a Saudi aid package last year, leading critics to condemn it as a land sell-off. The April signing of
the agreement set off the largest demonstrations of el-Sissia€™ s two-year rule.

Long before DACA, blacks were being shut out and replaced in the workforce by other American citizens not of color, including Polish, Germans and others, particularly in the construction industry.
Many times in the American workforce, Hispanic and Latino employees are misled by some whites to buy into the age-old stereotype that blacks are lazy. Resulting in many blacks being mistreated when Hispanics are placed in lead positions or supervisors over them, particularly under temp services, which are not held accountable by local governments and agencies.
Many Hispanics are despised and rejected by many blacks, who are misled to believe that Hispanics are coming over and taking all our jobs.
Often I find myself reminding many of us that no one can take from us what was never ours to begin with. When living behind enemy lines of brutality and racism in America, the only jobs that are really ours are the ones we make and create for ourselves through the spirit of entrepreneurship and economic development.
In other bases of employment, we have to fight to get it and fight like hell or even harder to keep it regardless of what ethnicity of people we are pitted against. And much too often, we find ourselves even pitted against one another as blacks.
One of the worst forms of misuse and abuse imaginable is when we rise through the ranks of the workforce — whether through the corporate ranks of America, construction sites of our communities or the labor workforce of state and county employment — and forget from where we came. Feeling as though we have suddenly arrived, many will walk by our entry-level sisters or brothers on the job without so much as speaking or acknowledging their existence.
Equally, I find myself telling many Hispanics and Latinos that laziness is not a color thing — it's a people thing, found in all races and places. Such thoughts of ignorance among us all have no boundaries or preferences. And they as well should not forget from where they came as a people of struggle, as we struggle together under this presidential administration and nation of divisiveness and racism.
Every generation has an obligation to kneel or stand in protest against the chaos, ignorance or hate its nation produces or creates.

Sunday marked the ten year anniversary of the Virginia Tech massacre, in which 32 students and faculty members were murdered. The
killer that day paused in between shootings to mail to NBC News a manifesto in which he attempted to rationalize the attack. It arrived two
days later.
Ten years later, murderers can just get on Facebook Live and attempt to rationalize their actions to their Facebook friends in real time.
That's what happened on Sunday afternoon. The shooting of an elderly man in Cleveland -- by a suspect who held his phone in one hand
and a gun in the other -- caused a manhunt that was still underway a day later.
The suspect recorded the shooting and uploaded it to Facebook. Then he logged onto Facebook Live, the social network's relatively new
live-streaming tool, and described the attack.
The suspect also posted status updates and tagged various friends in them. He claimed that he killed 15 other people, but police have not
found evidence of any additional victims. His Facebook page was removed -- but not for "several hours" after the attack, according to The
Verge.
Related: Opinion: Make it a crime to show killing on Facebook
The shooting has renewed a set of questions about Facebook's multiple roles and responsibilities in both the virtual world and the real
world,
Among them: Should the company be doing more to identify and remove violent videos more quickly? Do live-streaming capabilities cause
more harm than good?
Other Silicon Valley giants, like Google's YouTube, have also come under scrutiny as users have publicized and shared crimes on social
networks.
But Facebook's sheer ubiquity has put the company front and center.
"Since its launch, Live has provided an unedited look at police shootings, rape, torture, and enough suicides that Facebook will be
integrating real-time suicide prevention tools into the platform," Wired's Emily Dreyfuss wrote Sunday. "And though murders have been
captured by witnesses on Facebook Livea€”and people have even been killed as they were streaming to the servicea€”this appears to be
the first time a killer has streamed themselves preparing to commit a homicide, and then uploading the act itself, as happened" in
Cleveland.
Copies of the shooting video have circulated on Facebook, Twitter and other sites. The tech companies have algorithms and teams of
human editors who are constantly removing graphic and disturbing material.
On Sunday afternoon, Facebook said in a statement, "This is a horrific crime and we do not allow this kind of content on Facebook. We
work hard to keep a safe environment on Facebook, and are in touch with law enforcement in emergencies when there are direct threats to
physical safety."
The company said it had no further updates on Monday.

Expectations were high for President Donald Trump and his visit to Puerto Rico this week, with hopes that the 71-year-old would show
come kind of sympathy for the victims of Hurricane Irma and Maria. Unfortunately, things proved to be worse than what was seen on TV.
READ Trump Throws Paper Towels At Hurricane Maria Victims In Puerto Rico
Several first-hand accounts from the ground tell a different perspective than the administration, which claimed Trumpa€™ s Tuesday trip
(Oct. 4) was a success. Reporters from CNN and The Washington Post shared how the infamous paper towel moment very well coulda€™ ve
been canned goods instead.
Speaking from the Cavalry Chapel, a church in the lavish area of San J uan, Trump was intrigued by canned chicken and was interested in
tossing them into the crowd of Hurricane victims. a4€ceWhoa! la€™ ve never seen that before. That looks kind of good,a€* he said.
a€ceLeta€™ s start handing it out. Do you feel like this? a€¢
Trump was already on a ego trip after the victims were thankful for the paper towels and batteries. When he expressed interested in tossing
the cans, a member from his camp a€cegently told him no.a€*
There's video of Trump shooting paper towels into the crowd and it does not disappoint pic.twitter.com/KPf] lAeAqk a€” Caleb Ecarma
(@calebecarma) October 3, 2017
That wasna€™ t the only troubling aspect of his 4-hour trip. Residents were disappointed that Trump visited the area of Guaynabo since it
didna€™ t face nearly as much damage as its surrounding neighborhoods. They were also puzzled as to why he didna€™ t visit the shelters
where victims were greatly suffering from starvation and effects of drinking dirty water.
Meanwhile, celebrities are proving to be a saving grace for Puerto Ricans. Former reality star Bethany Frankel sent four jets filled with
goods to the island, while Puerto Rican entertainers like J ennifer Lopez, Fat J oe and Daddy Yankee have raised millions for relief efforts.

Expectations were high for President Donald Trump and his visit to Puerto Rico this week, with hopes that the 71-year-old would show come kind of sympathy for the victims of Hurricane Irma and Maria. Unfortunately, things proved to be worse than what was seen on TV.
READ Trump Throws Paper Towels At Hurricane Maria Victims In Puerto Rico
Several first-hand accounts from the ground tell a different perspective than the administration, which claimed Trump’s Tuesday trip (Oct. 4) was a success. Reporters from CNN and The Washington Post shared how the infamous paper towel moment very well could’ve been canned goods instead.
Speaking from the Cavalry Chapel, a church in the lavish area of San Juan, Trump was intrigued by canned chicken and was interested in tossing them into the crowd of Hurricane victims. “Whoa! I’ve never seen that before. That looks kind of good,” he said. “Let’s start handing it out. Do you feel like this?”
Trump was already on a ego trip after the victims were thankful for the paper towels and batteries. When he expressed interested in tossing the cans, a member from his camp “gently told him no.”

That wasn’t the only troubling aspect of his 4-hour trip. Residents were disappointed that Trump visited the area of Guaynabo since it didn’t face nearly as much damage as its surrounding neighborhoods. They were also puzzled as to why he didn’t visit the shelters where victims were greatly suffering from starvation and effects of drinking dirty water.
Meanwhile, celebrities are proving to be a saving grace for Puerto Ricans. Former reality star Bethany Frankel sent four jets filled with goods to the island, while Puerto Rican entertainers like Jennifer Lopez, Fat Joe and Daddy Yankee have raised millions for relief efforts.
