2017-07-09 00:00:00 | Mosul, Iraq, the largest city ever to fall to ISIS, has now been fully liberated after three years, Iraq's prime minister declared on Sunday. "The commander in chief of the armed forces Haider al-Abadi arrived in the liberated city of Mosul and congratulated the heroic fighters and the Iraqi people on the achievement of the major victory," he said in a statement. The Telegraph's Josie Ensor reports, "the nine month-offensive to recapture Iraq's second city cost the lives of thousands of civilians and countless more Iraqi forces. In the end, cornered and facing an inevitable conclusion, the last fighters detonated suicide bombs with a few trying to escape across the Tigris river.... Backed by a ferocious aerial bombing campaign by a US-led international coalition, the offensive has turned much of the city to rubble and forced nearly a million people to flee." | 7,777 | [

2019-10-28 00:00:00 | (For a live blog on the U.S. stock market, click or type LIVE/ in a news window.) * S&P 500 at all-time high; Nasdaq inches closer to record * Microsoft rises on Pentagon contract win * Tiffany surges on LVMH's $120 pershare offer * Dow up 0.52%, S&P 500 up 0.61%, Nasdaq up 1.04% (Updates to midafternoon, changes byline) Oct 28 (Reuters) - The S&P 500 hit a record high on Monday, while the Nasdaq hovered just below its lifetime high touched in late July, as a more conciliatory tone between the United States and China buoyed hopes for a possible trade deal and investors anticipated a rate cut by the Federal Reserve later this week. Microsoft Corp shares climbed 2.54%, making the stock among the biggest boosts to each of three major indexes after the technology giant won the Pentagon's $10 billion cloud computing contract, beating out Amazon.com Inc. The S&P 500 rose as much as 0.7% to 3,044.08, breaching the record intraday high hit on July 26, while the Nasdaq was less than 0.2% below its intraday high. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was less than 1% away from its record intraday level. President Donald Trump said on Monday he expected to sign a significant part of the trade deal with China ahead of schedule but did not elaborate on the timing, building on optimism from Friday when Washington said it was "close to finalizing" some parts of a trade deal. Economic data shows that the trade war between the two largest economies has begun take a toll on both countries, leading to worries about a global slowdown. Global central banks have responded by easing monetary policy. The Federal Reserve is expected to be the latest to follow that trend at its two-day policy meeting beginning on Tuesday, with wide expectations that it will cut interest rates for a third time this year. "It just seems like the things that would disrupt the rally tightening monetary policy - off the table. Some kind of big battle with the Chinese seems to be off the table, some kind of political upheaval seems be off the table," said Stephen Massocca, senior vice president at Wedbush Securities in San Francisco. "All of that means the line of least resistance is higher." The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 140.72 points, or 0.52%, to 27,098.78, the S&P 500 gained 18.44 points, or 0.61%, to 3,040.99 and the Nasdaq Composite added 86.04 points, or 1.04%, to 8,329.16. The odds for a quarter percentage point cut in U.S. borrowing costs have jumped to 94.1% from 49.2% last month, according to CME Group's FedWatch tool. The third-quarter earnings season has managed to ease some concerns related to the impact of the trade tensions on corporate profits, with over 78% of the 204 S&P 500 companies that have reported so far surpassing profit expectations, according to Refinitiv data. Still, third-quarter earnings are expected to show a decline of 2%. Investors are waiting for earnings from heavyweights this week such as Apple Inc, Google-parent Alphabet Inc and Merck & Co Inc. Chipmakers, which have acted as a proxy for trade tensions with China, gained 1.67%. The technology, healthcare and communication services sectors gained more than 1% each. Among other stocks, AT&T Inc rose 4.27% after the U.S. wireless carrier said it would add two new board members and consider selling off up to $10 billion worth of non-core businesses next year. Tiffany & Co surged 30.88% after Louis Vuitton owner LVMH made a $120 per share offer to buy the U.S. luxury jeweler. Advancing issues outnumbered declining ones on the NYSE by a 1.42-to-1 ratio; on Nasdaq, a 2.14-to-1 ratio favored advancers. The S&P 500 posted 39 new 52-week highs and no new lows; the Nasdaq Composite recorded 111 new highs and 37 new lows. (Reporting by Chuck Mikolajczak Editing by Leslie Adler) | 56,350 | [

2017-04-19 | Defense Secretary James Mattis on Wednesday said overcoming Iran's destabilizing influence in the Middle East is critical for ending the civil war in Yemen. "We will have to overcome Iran's efforts to destabilize yet another country and create another militia in their image of Lebanese Hezbollah, but the bottom line is we are on the right path for it," Mattis told reporters in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, after meeting senior Saudi officials. The comments come as the Trump administration considers increasing support to the Saudi-led coalition fighting in Yemen. The United Nations estimates that more than 10,000 people have been killed in Yemen’s civil war, which began in March 2015 and involves government troops backed by the Saudi-led coalition and Houthi rebels supported by Iran. Millions of Yemenis face potential famine. The United States has supported the campaign by selling the Saudis billions of dollars of weapons, providing intelligence and helping with logistics such as air refueling. Mattis said that U.N.-brokered negotiations to resolve the conflict in Yemen are needed. U.S. officials speaking on condition of anonymity told Reuters the topic came up in their meetings with Saudi King Salman and Deputy Crown Prince and Minister of Defense Mohammed bin Salman, among other officials. In the meetings, officials discussed what additional assistance the United States could provide to the Saudi-led coalition, including potential intelligence support, but not U.S. troops. Officials also told Reuters that it did not appear that the Houthis would come to the negotiating table and that there would need to be more military pressure on the group. Despite the Trump administration's tougher stance, the State Department on Tuesday informed Congress that Iran is in compliance with the nuclear deal reached by President Obama and that the United States will continue to ease sanctions under the agreement.

2017-12-22 | MADRID, Dec 22 (Reuters) - Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy plans to speak at 2 p.m. local time (1300 GMT) on Friday, the PM’s office said, after Catalan separatists wanting to break away from Spain won a regional election on Thursday. Catalonia’s separatists look set to regain power in the wealthy region after the election, deepening the nation’s political crisis in a sharp rebuke to Rajoy and European Union leaders who backed him.

2018-08-02 | Exact details for the proposed ban have yet to be determined.
(iStock) Angelenos eager to fill their fall wardrobes with fur may want to stock up now, as city council members have introduced a proposal banning its sale. If the measure passes, the City of Angels would be the largest American metropolis to bar the sale and production of the controversial product. On August 1, over a dozen animal welfare activists met with Councilman Paul Koretz at City Hall to discuss the issue, the L.A. Times reports. If the proposal, written by Koertz and fellow council member Bob Blumenfield, were to pass, L.A. would join West Hollywood, Berkeley and San Francisco in instating such policies. San Francisco’s legislation is set to take effect Jan. 1 2019, following the Board of Supervisors&apos unanimous decision to ban the sale of fur in March. Video &aposKMART ADDICT&apos GETS TATTOO OF STORE&aposS LOGO: &aposI WON&aposT REGRET IT&apos “The bottom line is that humans do not need to wear the fur of another animal. Not in Los Angeles, not in any other city… To continue to allow the sale of fur is to condone violence,” Brian Ruppenkamp a member of an activist group called Los Angeles Animal Save, said at the Wednesday meeting. As of now, the proposal would ban the manufacturing of new fur products and the sale of fur apparel, handbags and accessories, with the exception of “used goods.” Meanwhile, one L.A. Fashion District shop owner lamented the proposal, arguing that such legislation would be wrong to mandate. “First it’s what you wear, then it’s what you can eat. It’s not what democracy is supposed to be,” Paul Naim told the Times. Similarly, West Hollywood’s fur ban has not been embraced by all, as some feel that it is ineffective. “What has the ban in West Hollywood really achieved? Nothing,” Keith Kaplan, spokesman for the Fur Information Council of America, told the Times. “If they can’t find it in West Hollywood, they go right outside West Hollywood to buy it.” Moving forward, Koretz requested that staffers research and report back possible conflicts that the new rules could pose, such as the legal ramifications regarding the fur hats often worn by Hasidic Jewish men.

2018-01-23 08:45:51 | California Today Good morning. (Want to get California Today by email? Here’s the sign-up.) If history is any guide, the State of the State speech Gov. Jerry Brown will deliver in Sacramento on Thursday — his last one — won’t be very long. It probably won’t be overly sentimental. And it will probably include a tribute to his home state. But here are a few things we will be listening for: 1. How much will he talk about perhaps his biggest bit of unfinished business — the bullet train, plagued by cost overruns and delays? Mr. Brown’s strategy is to keep building, hoping to buy time until a (presumably) sympathetic Democratic administration takes office. His real audience on Thursday, should he use the moment, will be the next governor, whose support will be crucial. 2. This will be one of the final opportunities for the famously frugal governor to return to a favorite topic: warning lawmakers and his successor against excessive spending, particularly if a recession is coming. 3. Will Mr. Brown use his platform to push for reforms in California’s notoriously dysfunctional tax system, hamstrung by Proposition 13 and a heavy reliance on volatile capital gains tax revenues? (Don’t bet on it). 4. Count how much time Mr. Brown spends talking about Republicans in Washington versus talking about problems facing California: the affordable housing crisis, the sexual misconduct scandal in the Legislature and the exploding costs of pensions. (Here’s a smart essay by Bill Whalen of the Hoover Institution on things the governor might want to address.) When Mr. Brown delivered his first inaugural address in 2011, the state’s economy was reeling from an economic downturn. Still, he was notably optimistic. “Well I was the one who was coming in so I had a lot to be optimistic about,” Mr. Brown said in an interview.

If you want to drill, do it off Mar-a-Lago,” he said in a tweet. [Los Angeles Times] Does Los Angeles need two Hollywood signs? That is one solution being floated to deal with the flood of tourists exploring the windy roads of Hollywood, searching for the best point to snap a selfie with the sign. Navigation systems are guiding out-of-towners to vistas that once were known only to a select few, resulting in chaos on once quiet and secluded streets — in neighborhoods that people tend to move to get away from it all — and pressure on public officials. A report by a consulting firm, Dixon Resources Unlimited, ordered by David Ryu, the City Council member who represents the neighborhood, looked at some ideas that have been floating out there, including a tramway to take people to the site. But the more novel idea is to build a replica Hollywood sign that would face north toward Burbank, almost back-to-back with the one that now looks over the Los Angeles basin. “This would give the city the opportunity to promote the replica sign viewpoints as more accessible locations for photos than in the residential neighborhoods south of the park,” the report said. The idea has its drawbacks. “One downside of this strategy is that it would take away from the history of the original Hollywood sign,” it says.

2019-04-09 00:00:00 | Unlike their earlier books illustrating philosophical ideas, this book lacks clarity. Advertise on Hyperallergic with Nectar Ads In one episode of the series Younger, an aspiring writer blackmails the protagonist, who is lying about her age, into publishing her advice book as told from the perspective of her golden-doodle. The idea is both extremely mundane and extremely absurd, and the book becomes an (un)expected huge success. Of course, the situation portrayed in this show — a witty satire of the publishing industry — has parallels in reality, and one of them is a new book titled: I Think Therefore I Draw: Understanding Philosophy Through Cartoon. Thomas Cathcart and Daniel Klein pair up witty, New-Yorker-style cartoons and brief explanation of philosophical concepts, in the hopes that “you’ll breeze through these weighty topics as you guffaw and slap your knee.” Throughout its 28 chapters, it touches on the pillars of philosophy: the meaning of life, pragmatism, hedonism, naturalism, metaphysics, determinism, and moral relativity. The book works best when the philosophical concept allegedly embodied by a cartoon is, for lack of a better definition “cool”: a vignette depicting Pinocchio saying “my nose grows now” is actually an illustration from 1901 by Carlo Chiostri and leads into an explanation of Zeno’s paradox, the one denying the existence of motion, which became famous with the anecdote of Achilles and the Tortoise. A cartoon of the three kings saying “do you realize this means 2000 years of Christmas records,” becomes the perfect setup for explaining determinism through a paraphrasis of Laplace’s demon, or an elaboration of the concept of the butterfly effect, only to point out how quantum physics proved that principle wrong. This formula is less effective when concepts become more complex. Pessimism is played for the lolz in a text block relating to a cartoon featuring two fish in a glass filled to the halfway point — one of them has its face in the water, the other up in the air, and they’re debating whether the glass is half full or half empty. Simone De Beauvoir’s belief that “existence precedes essence” is briefly dealt with as an explainer of cartoons of a bunch of attractive female construction workers catcalling a male white-collar worker. All it made me think of was the shouts-and-murmurs-style story Hillary Clinton’s Locker-Room Talk. This book is certainly useful, if you approach it in a particular way, as filling the gaps of basic notions of philosophy: I took it for three full years in high school, but my teacher was one of those fundamentalist, right-wing Catholics who purposely neglected some thinkers and did not have time to explore the 20th-century ones, and I appreciate the fact that, thanks to I Think, Therefore I draw, I will remember that, for existentialists, “existence precedes essence.” However, while the duo’s previous books tackle more specific topics — Heidegger and a Hippo Walk Through Those Pearly Gates is about philosophical wisdom surrounding death; The Trolley Problem explores the ethical conundrum of the same name under the lens of ethics and logic — I can’t help but think that its digital equivalent would either be a listicle or a slideshow tentatively titled “Whoa! These cartoons can teach us philosophy!” and, as such, that it’s destined to become a stocking stuffer, because it’s cute, it can be consumed in tidbits, and is too much of a crowd pleaser to be truly remarkable. I Think Therefore I Draw: Understanding Philosophy Through Cartoon by Thomas Cathcart and Daniel Klein (2018) is published by Penguin Books and is available from Amazon and other online retailers. | 32,366 | [

2020-02-04 00:00:00 | TOKYO (Reuters) - Takeda Pharmaceutical Co Ltd (4502.T) said it now expects an operating profit for the full year, as opposed to its earlier projection for a loss, due to stronger sales and cost savings from its integration with Shire Plc. The company forecast an operating profit of 10 billion yen ($91.91 million) for the year ending in March, versus its previous forecast for a loss of 110 billion yen. That compares with an average loss forecast of 75.6 billion yen from 13 analysts polled by Refinitiv. Takeda surprised markets in May last year when it reversed its full-year profit forecast to a loss, citing costs linked to its $59 billion Shire deal. It later revised the forecast to a smaller loss on strong sales of its core drugs. The Shire acquisition, which was completed in January 2019, expanded Takeda’s pipeline and diversified its global sales, with half now coming from the United States. The drugmaker, now the 15th largest in the world by revenue, told investors in November it expects to launch 14 new products through fiscal 2024 that will deliver about $10 billion in peak yearly sales. But while the Shire buy gave Takeda global heft, it left it with net debt of about $40 billion as of September 2019. To pare down debt, Takeda has pledged to dispose of $10 billion worth of non-core assets. It completed $7 billion in divestitures in calendar 2019, including assets in the Middle East and Africa and a dry-eye drug sold for $5.3 billion to Novartis, Refinitiv data shows. Takeda is focusing on five key business areas: oncology, gastroenterology, neuroscience, rare diseases, and plasma-derived therapies. In the third quarter ending in December, Takeda had operating profit of 112.2 billion yen, based on Reuters calculations, about the same as the previous year.

2019-07-05 00:00:00 | Fool-proof prediction: The victor in the next Democratic presidential debate, set for the end of this month in Detroit, will be the same as the winner of last week’s event in Miami — television. The losers will be many, led by the Democratic National Committee (DNC), which created the format and established the rules. A close second: analysts and commentators from all forms of news media who, like the DNC, slavishly adhered to the maxims of televised entertainment when judging the best and worst in South Florida. Corralling ten candidates on a stage guarantees the focus won’t be on facts but on what TV delivers best: emotion, sensationalism and conflict. The current formula turns the debates into just another form of reality-show diversion. The candidates understand this. Variations on the emotion-packed words “this is personal to me” were used about a dozen times over the pair of debates, signaling that feelings and fervor were the currency of each night. Heat instead of light. Political pundits declared former HUD secretary Julian CastroJulian CastroCastro qualifies for next Democratic primary debates Castro releases animal welfare plan as part of presidential campaign Biden, Buttigieg bypassing Democratic delegate meeting: report MORE the winner of the first evening, simply because he started the fireworks. Castro pushed fellow Texan and former congressman Beto O’Rourke to support decriminalizing illegal immigration. This showdown sparked raucous cheers from the live audience. Castro, who is polling at around one percent, apparently got every one of his supporters to show up that night. But does the Democratic Party really stand for decriminalization of illegal border crossings? That’s a worthwhile debate to have but it wasn’t going to happen in this format. Moderators did not press the issue, and the seductive rhythms of television compelled everyone to move on before the audience got bored. Predictably enough, when Castro was finally questioned about immigration days later, he admitted he was not advocating unlimited border entry. But by then, his “winner” status was set in stone. Sen. Kamala HarrisKamala Devi HarrisHarry Reid: 'Decriminalizing border crossings is not something that should be at the top of the list' Warren offers plan to repeal 1994 crime law authored by Biden Sanders leads Democratic field in Colorado poll MORE (D-Calif.) did something similar the next night, with her now-famous face-off against former Vice President Joe BidenJoe BidenHarry Reid: 'Decriminalizing border crossings is not something that should be at the top of the list' Warren offers plan to repeal 1994 crime law authored by Biden Panel: Jill Biden's campaign message MORE over forced busing. It clearly was planned in advance and well-delivered — a strong performance because it no doubt came from an honest, sincere place. Yet, again, it was the performance that won the day, not the politics. Do Democrats, eager to bring white working-class Obama voters back into the fold, really want to revisit forced busing? Is it worth re-examining an issue that exacerbated race relations, shattered the Democratic coalition, undermined public education and damaged big cities? Maybe. But that was not even remotely addressed in a short-attention-span debate that hopped from topic-to-topic. As with Castro, the passage of a little time has enabled some to reconsider the Harris moment and its policy implications. But this is TV we’re talking about — emotions and passions win out here, just as in a soap opera. So Harris has risen sharply in the polls. In a different way, the senator — and all the candidates — also are among the losers in these debates, type-cast based on slim first impressions. At a 90-minute town hall this past weekend in Los Angeles, attended by more than 500 voters, Sen. Michael BennetMichael Farrand BennetThe Hill's Morning Report - Trump searches for backstops amid recession worries Biden, Buttigieg bypassing Democratic delegate meeting: report The Hill's Campaign Report: Battle for Senate begins to take shape MORE (D-Colo.) was asked several times to push for a better way to conduct these debates. The Democratic challengers should all band together and just refuse to show up at the debates. That’s not going to happen — but a couple of things can be done to make the Detroit debates marginally better than what came before. First, kick out the audience. Cheers and interruptions make the whole affair feel like a gladiator battle, skewing perceptions of who’s up and who’s down. Obviously, an otherwise empty room occupied only by candidates isn’t great TV — but that’s the point. Second, pare down the moderators. In a new poll taken after Miami, nearly half the respondents said debate questioners should be “politically moderate,” and a vast majority gave highest marks to NBC Nightly News anchor Lester Holt. Working alone or with one other person, Holt might better control the dynamics on stage. After Detroit, the party has scheduled another four of these events before we even get out of 2019. The candidate pool should shrink pretty soon, and those left will have more time for actual debating. But only if the DNC stops playing by television’s rules — and puts the voters first.

2016-02-24 00:00:00 | (CNN)The morning after Donald Trump won a commanding victory in the Nevada Republican caucuses, Marco Rubio insisted that "a majority of Republican voters in this country do not want Donald Trump to be the nominee." Rubio, who finished more than 20 points behind Trump, attributed Trump's continued dominance of the GOP field to the fractured crowd of alternatives. Who's in? Who's out? 2016 presidential candidates "I think that's been pretty clear now, The problem is that they're divided up among four people ... in South Carolina it was five people. Before that it was seven people," Rubio said on Fox News' "Fox and Friends." "Until there's some consolidation here, you're not going to have a clear alternative to Donald Trump," he said. "If we don't come together, we're never going to be able to provide a clear alternative to the direction that Donald Trump wants to take the Republican Party and the country." And Rubio criticized Trump for substituting anger for vision. "While anger and frustration can motivate you to do something, you've got to know what you're going to do, and voters deserve to know how you're going to do it," the Florida senator said. "He tells you what the result is going to be, but he refuses to outline how we're going to achieve these things, and voters deserve to know that." Rubio, who has been making the case he is the only viable alternative to Trump left in the GOP field, has yet to win a primary or caucus state. But he predicted a win in his home state of Florida, during an appearance on CBS' "This Morning." "We will win in Florida," he said, noting that his prospects were boosted there since former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush dropped out of the presidential race. CNN's Chloe Scretchings contributed to this report. | 77,558 | [

2018-11-16 00:00:00 | BRUSSELS (Reuters) - While some of Prime Minister Theresa May’s critics have denounced her draft Brexit deal with the European Union as betrayal of Britain’s interests, the European Union has also given ground in the unprecedented negotiations. Several of the 27 member states that will remain in the EU after Brexit are uneasy that some concessions offered to Britain may be going too far. Here are examples: ALL-UK CUSTOMS UNION UNDER IRISH BACKSTOP The EU has long objected to allowing the whole of the United Kingdom to remain in a customs union with the bloc under the withdrawal agreement, saying it risked prejudging the two sides’ future trade relations in what is formally just a divorce deal. Britain sought the all-UK option to prevent a return to extensive border checks on the island of Ireland. The EU had proposed to keep the British province of Northern Ireland - but not the rest of the UK - in the EU’s orbit. This was unacceptable to London, sinking a tentative deal in mid-October. Brussels has now agreed to an all-UK customs arrangement. But it would also impose more EU rules on Britain, much to the annoyance of Brexiteers. This arrangement will be the fall-back option pending the outcome of negotiations on an EU-British trade deal which have yet to begin. States such as France and Germany say the additional level-playing field conditions do not go far enough in preventing Britain from offering products on the EU market at a lower price by undercutting standards that apply to member states. The EU initially wanted its top court, the Luxembourg-based European Court of Justice (ECJ), to be the chief policeman of the divorce deal. For Britain, however, escaping the court’s jurisdiction was a chief objective. In the end, the draft withdrawal agreement creates a complex matrix of mechanisms for arbitration and dispute settlement in which the ECJ has a big say but is not omnipotent. “The ECJ’s role will be restricted to the interpretation of EU law and will not be a forum for resolving disputes. The arbitration panel will decide the case based on all the facts before it,” a spokesperson for the UK government said. The EU wanted to roll over the current system of mutual access to fishing waters after Brexit. But that often means EU boats fishing in the rich UK waters and London has sought exclusive control of them. The draft agreement leaves the matter open for more talks. France has led criticism among EU states that this arrangement does not protect the bloc’s interests enough. To ensure the rights of more than four million Britons living in the EU and Europeans living in the UK, the bloc’s starting point was to keep all their privileges unchanged. But ending the automatic right of EU citizens to live in Britain - which many people in the UK felt put too much strain on the labor market and public services like schools and hospitals - has been another top priority for London. The European Parliament, which must sign off on the Brexit deal, is dismayed that EU citizens may now have to pay to confirm their residence in Britain. EU citizens would also risk losing their status if they left Britain for more than five years, among other examples of how their current rights will be restricted. The EU had wanted a specific sum to be agreed for Britain to pay the bloc to cover its outstanding obligations, but in the end the sides agreed on a joint methodology to calculate that later. Despite the EU seeking to phase out various member states’ rebates, the UK would keep its “mother of all rebates” during the post-Brexit transition period. The EU has yielded little on this, refusing to extend “passporting” rights that currently allow Britain’s huge financial sector to sell services to clients anywhere in the bloc. The EU sees agreeing future access to its financial markets as its chief leverage in the negotiations on the broad new relationship with Britain. “At the moment, the Brits get absolutely nothing,” one national diplomat said. Britain will move to the EU’s equivalence system after Brexit under which the bloc allows foreign financial firms access case by case. The EU is, however, committing to try to conclude its equivalence assessments before July 2020, or before Britain leaves a transition after Brexit day in March 2019, a gesture towards London’s vast financial services industry.

2016-12-20 18:26:15 | #SpeakingInDance #SpeakingInDance: a new weekly visual exploration of dance. Follow us on Instagram: @nytimes. Dancers fall. Sometimes, it’s intentional. One of the most breathtaking dance falls dates to 1933 and involves 36 women who, in a nail-biting descent, collapse onto the floor like dominoes. This classic of precision choreography by Russell Markert, “The Parade of the Wooden Soldiers,” is part of the “Christmas Spectacular Starring the Radio City Rockettes.” But instead of bare legs and gleaming smiles, the dancers wear Vincente Minnelli’s pristine soldier uniforms and stiffly curve around the stage like machinery. “The first time I tried on my soldier costume, I actually cried,” the Rockette Alina Duncan said. “It’s history.” The fall is the grand finale, a physical act that demands abs of steel, steadfast teamwork and infinite patience. “We’re thinking of staying completely flat all the way down,” she said. “If you’re even just a centimeter off, then the fall can go wonky.” Speed is critical. From her center-of-the-line position, Tiffany Griffith must slow the fall down even though, as she put it, “there are seven or eight women whose weight is on top of me.” Ms. Duncan, in the front, must maintain a completely straight plank position. “When it’s one of those four-show days,” she said, “you’re like, ‘Are we going to fall now?’” | 110,337 | [

2017-03-12 03:50:36 | Israel 4, Cuba 1 TOKYO — Israel had not played from behind during its magical run at the World Baseball Classic until Sunday, when it overcame an early one-run deficit to beat Cuba, 4-1, in the first game of the second round of the tournament. The victory kept Israel undefeated in its first W.B.C. appearance and pushed the team one step closer to a berth in the semifinal round in Los Angeles. As in its first-round games in Seoul, South Korea, Israel relied on scrappy at-bats and excellent starting pitching from its ace, Jason Marquis, the 15-year major leaguer who last played in 2015, with the Cincinnati Reds. Marquis pitched five and two-third innings, gave up four hits and struck out four batters. His only mistake came in the second inning when Alfredo Despaigne, Cuba’s cleanup hitter, hit a first-pitch home run to left center field. Former and current New York Mets played a big role in the game for Israel. Cuba pitched around Israel’s cleanup hitter, former Mets first baseman Ike Davis, walking him twice. The strategy backfired in the fourth inning, when Davis walked and scored from first base after catcher Ryan Lavarnway hit a double down the third-base line, tying the game, 1-1. Israel took the lead when third baseman Ty Kelly, who played for the Mets last season, led off the sixth inning with a single. First baseman Nate Freiman walked two batters later, then Kelly scored on a single by right fielder Zach Borenstein. Left fielder Blake Gailen followed with a double to right, sending Freiman home with Israel’s third run. Zack Thornton, who pitched for the Mets’ Triple-A affiliate in Las Vegas last year, threw one and one-third innings of scoreless relief. Josh Zeid, another pitcher in the Mets’ farm system, entered in the top of the eighth inning with two runners on. He walked Despaigne on four pitches to load the bases, but got Willian Saavedra to ground into a force play to end the threat. Israel added a run in the bottom of the eighth on a walk by Borenstein, a single by Lavarnway and a safety squeeze bunt by Gailen that allowed Borenstein to score. Zeid then pitched a perfect ninth inning for a save. Now that Israel — ranked 41st in the world before the tournament and a 200-to-1 long-shot to win it, according to bookmakers — has gone 4-0, Cuba appears to be the weakest of the four teams in the Tokyo group. The pool, one of three in the second round, also includes the Netherlands and Japan. Players who defected are not allowed to represent a country, so Cuba’s roster is primarily athletes who compete in their homeland, with none of the Cubans who play in M.L.B. — like Jose Abreu, Yoenis Cespedes and Aroldis Chapman. Israel on Monday will face the Netherlands, which it beat in Seoul last week. The Netherlands has half a dozen top major leaguers, including Los Angeles Angels shortstop Andrelton Simmons and Jurickson Profar, an outfielder for the Texas Rangers. Israel will then play host Japan, which includes some of the elite players from the country’s top league, Nippon Professional Baseball. If Israel wins one of those games, it stands a good chance of making it to the semifinals. | 24,342 | [

2017-04-26 07:00:58 | Offering a more complete home insurance package for less money than traditional insurance sellers, startup insurance broker Hippo Insurance launched its first service this week in California. According to chief executive Assaf Wand, the company intends to be available to 60% of all U.S. homeowners by the end of the year. To that end, the company had previously raised $14.5 million last October to finance its nationwide expansion. Venture capitalists and entrepreneurs alike are drawn to the insurance industry for its trillion-dollar size, entrenched incumbents operating with business practices that haven’t changed in decades, and terrible customer reputation. Indeed, companies like Lemonade, Jetty and Quilt have all launched (and raised tens of millions of dollars) to “fix” the insurance industry. Hippo, the latest of these, is going after a slightly different market. Most of the new insurance companies have pitched services to renters and city dwellers made up of the mostly millennial demographic, while Hippo is aiming its services squarely at homeowners for whom the industry is no less broken, but whose demographics are more likely to be Gen X and Gen Y than their millennial progeny. Hippo not only uses its technology to optimize pricing for potential policyholders, but offers tech-enabled devices like leak detectors and other IOT tools to monitor homes and ensure their upkeep, so policy payouts don’t get out of hand. “When you look at home insurance you see that 60% of US homeowners are underinsured, many believe they have coverage that isn’t actually in their policies, and the majority spend too much time and money purchasing the product, due to outdated commissioned agents and various hidden fees,” says Wand in a statement. | 112,844 | [

2016-12-07 06:57:40 | Pandora’s Spotify competitor is on its way. Announced this week at press event in New York, Pandora Premium, as the service is called, offers on-demand listening of millions of songs, streamed ad-free, and supports offline access to music. But the company is aiming to make personalization its biggest differentiator from rivals including Apple Music, Spotify and others. The new service will leverage users’ listening history and likes to make suggestions of new artists, albums and songs you may like to hear, and it will even use this understanding of your interests when you’re searching for music or browsing through the service’s library, to order its results. Pandora may have an advantage when it comes to its ability to personalize the service to its users, compared with its newer competitors. While features like Spotify’s “Discover Weekly” playlist and Apple Music’s “For You” suggestions, have gained their own followings, many of Pandora some 78 million monthly users have used the service for years. That gives the service a lot more data to work with when it comes to making suggestions and customizing its service to the individual users. Pandora Premium is also introducing a smart playlists feature that will automatically suggest similar songs to those you’ve added to your playlist. And as you give a “thumbs up” to songs on the service, these will be added to a playlist of their own. Some of the features arriving in the new service have been borrowed from Rdio, the now-shuttered streaming service Pandora bought over a year ago. One example is “AutoPlay,” which will create a radio station based on the album or playlist you were listening to, so the music continues even when you’ve reached the end of either the playlist or album. The new service was previously announced by Pandora, when the company unveiled its mid-tier, ad-free Pandora Plus service this fall. At the time, however, Pandora said its premium service would arrive later in the year. But now the company says Pandora Premium should arrive in the first quarter of next year. Pandora hasn’t confirmed the pricing yet, but most expect it to be in the range of $10 per month, like all others on the market today. | 106,616 | [

2016-02-09 | There's a common saying – "you're only as good as your data." In the ongoing shift from volume to value in health care, this adage couldn't be more relevant. Payers, physician groups, engaged patients, biopharmaceutical companies are all focused on value and related frameworks. But as these frameworks are evaluated and put into place, we need appropriate guardrails that preserve evidence-based decision-making by patients and physicians. Judgments about the value of a treatment are highly individualized, and they change over time as new research and treatment options emerge. We must use all our available tools to reach such judgments – including real-world evidence. Understanding how treatments work in the real world is vital for providers, health plans and biopharmaceutical companies. Doctors want to make the best possible treatment decisions for their patients, guided by timely and tested information. Pharmaceutical innovators strive to continually enhance the medicines they develop, seeking out new ways to improve patient outcomes. Payers want to know more about real-world patient experiences, and they seek health care economic data. However, lingering ambiguities in related regulations serve as a deterrent not only for sharing such information, but for collecting it in the first place. The 21st Century Cures legislation passed last year by the House of Representatives took steps toward clarifying FDA's current regulations which, due to their vague and somewhat ambiguous nature, prevent companies from sharing certain accurate, data-driven information with payers and formulary committees to inform coverage and patient care. That's encouraging – and we hope the Senate continues to focus on improving health outcomes through more informed clinical practice. In the meantime, at Astellas, we're looking at new ways to bring better value to our customers and patients – and real-world evidence is a key component. For example, we are working with Medivation on a prospective patient registry to better understand the unique needs of patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). The registry – called TRUMPET – is enrolling and evaluating 2,000 patients diagnosed with CRPC from urology and oncology sites across the country. We will follow patients and participating caregivers for up to six years to gather information about the management of CRPC, including patterns of care and treatment decisions and settings. The registry does not evaluate any specific medicine, but focuses on quality-of-life patterns. The insights gleaned from TRUMPET can impact our research approach and increase our understanding of important treatment considerations – reflecting our commitment to provide effective, evidence-based care for cancer patients and their caregivers. Of course, real-world evidence also has significant applications in the development of new medicines. Randomized, controlled clinical trials have long been the primary source of data and the gold standard for establishing the safety and efficacy of investigational medicines. Such trials are designed to target specific patient populations and to address the important questions of safety and efficacy in that controlled setting. However, once a medicine is approved by FDA and prescribed by physicians, many additional patients receive the drug outside of a controlled environment. These "real-world" patients offer hugely valuable safety and efficacy information that goes beyond the information generated in a controlled clinical trial. Real-world evidence allows us to examine broader information on the use of medicines. We can learn new details about how a patient responds that can be incredibly meaningful over time. Such information has been used by FDA to inform safety-related decisions, but has typically not been used to evaluate the benefits of a medicine. In comments on 21st Century Cures, the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA) supported an expansion of FDA's ability to make decisions on the therapeutic benefits of a medicine based on real-world evidence. They suggested and we agree that such a policy shift is overdue, and could have a profound impact on the efficiency of drug development. It would appropriately reflect our technological capabilities, and, most importantly, it would benefit patients seeking new options to battle disease. The digitization of health care information is changing the way we do business. It's enabling us to better identify what works, for whom – and what doesn't and why. Tapping into real-world data not only can help establish the value of an individual medicine, it also provides us with much more. It helps inform our R&D. It provides better insights into disease states. It demonstrates how well standards of care work. Now is the time to create a modernized regulatory framework that encourages the development and dissemination of accurate, data-driven information – including real world evidence – to achieve high-quality, high-value patient care.

2017-02-10 | Some U.S. financial institutions could be locked out of the European market if Donald Trump's administration repeals global rules imposed in the wake of the financial crisis, a top EU official said on Friday. Valdis Dombrovskis, vice president of the European Commission and the EU's financial services chief, said international rules agreed during the 2007-09 crisis must be upheld to avoid undermining financial stability. "International finance needs international regulatory cooperation. Without it, we run the risk of regulatory arbitrage and renewed instability," Dombrovskis said in a speech in London. U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order last week to review Dodd-Frank, a U.S. law that implements a welter of international rules agreed by the United States, the EU and other major economies during the global banking meltdown. "We are sensitive to talk of unpicking financial legislation which applies carefully negotiated international standards and rules," Dombrovskis said. "Lax regulation in one country can create conditions for inadequate regulation and contagion throughout the world." Dombrovskis said the EU will uphold the reforms it introduced to toughen bank capital rules - based on the globally agreed norms - and will be "ready to take the necessary measures to protect and strengthen these achievements". The EU has allowed clearing houses, insurers and other financial firms from the United States and other non-EU countries to operate in the bloc because it deemed their home rules to be "equivalent" or as strict as those in the EU. But granting equivalence depends very much on the specific conditions of individual sectors and countries when the decision was made, he said. "If these conditions change, we will have to reassess the situation," Dombrovskis said. The European Commission can unilaterally scrap an equivalence decision by giving a month's notice. Dombrovskis' warning could equally apply to Britain, whose financial firms may need to rely on "equivalence" rulings after the country leaves the bloc in 2019. Some pro-Brexit campaigners say departure would allow Britain to ditch some EU rules. London will only continue to thrive as an international financial centre on the basis of a strong, international regulatory system, he said. Trump's regulatory review has also raised questions about future international rulemaking at bodies like the Basel Committee on banking standards, and the Financial Stability Board (FSB), which coordinates regulation across the Group of 20 economies (G20). G20 finance ministers and central bankers meet in Germany in March and their communique will be scrutinised for signs of discord between the United States and other members over regulation. Dombrovskis said there were strong arguments for continued international cooperation at Basel and the FSB, but for this to happen there was a need for "partners to cooperate with". He singled out a letter from a U.S. lawmaker telling U.S. Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen not to negotiate new international banking rules. Dombrovskis said there was a need to preserve European values like free rational thought, tolerance, solidarity and openness when threatened by "alternative facts" in financial and other sectors.

2017-12-14 00:00:00 | The Force and the force -- LAPD, that is -- will be extra strong in Hollywood for Thursday night's premiere screenings of "Star Wars: The Last Jedi." We're told more than 20 extra uniformed officers and frequent neighborhood patrols will be deployed around the biggest movie theaters in the heart of Hollywood. Undercover cops will be on the beat as well. A source at Grauman's Chinese Theatre tells us it's also bringing in private security from an outside firm. There's no specific threat -- we're told the extra muscle's necessary to smoothly move the massive number of moviegoers coming to get a piece of 'Jedi.' We're told they're nearly sold out ... for the whole weekend! Get there early. | 31,208 | [

2019-12-04 00:00:00 | SINGAPORE (Reuters) - Google has stopped accepting political advertisements in Singapore months before a widely expected election, according to documents shared by a small political party which said it was angered by the decision that denies it voter reach. In email correspondence between the Singapore Democratic Party and a senior Google public policy official, the tech firm said it “will not accept advertising regulated by the Code of Practice for Transparency of Online Political Advertisements”. A spokeswoman for Alphabet Inc’s Google told Reuters the email exchange was authentic but declined to comment further. The new code of practice, part of a controversial ‘fake news’ law introduced in October, requires advertising intermediaries to maintain detailed records of political adverts and their sponsors and make those records available to authorities. The code applies to “all advertisement or paid content that can reasonably be regarded as being directed towards a political end”. In the correspondence shared with media in a statement by SDP, Google’s Vice President, Government Affairs and Public Policy, APAC, Ted Osius, said: “This was not an easy decision to make as Google is committed to delivering useful and relevant election-related information to users around the world.” Singapore, which has been ruled by the People’s Action Party since independence in 1965, has repeatedly said it is vulnerable to foreign interference in its domestic affairs. The city-state is gearing up for an election expected to take place within months. SDP said the “shocking policy” would deprive voters of information ahead of that ballot. “In an election with the media totally dominated by the state, alternative parties would have no ability to educate and inform the voters of Singapore in the run up to the elections if we are not able to use Google’s advertising platforms in the first place,” Paul Tambyah, chairman of SDP, said in the correspondence. The office administrating Singapore’s new fake news law, called the Protection from Online Falsehoods and Manipulation Act (POFMA), did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Unlike Google, social media giant Facebook is still accepting political advertisements in Singapore after implementing new rules under the ‘fake news’ laws in September. Facebook on Saturday attached a correction notice to a user’s post in the first such instance under the new law. Rights groups have raised concerns the fake news law could be used to stifle free speech and chill dissent in Singapore, charges government officials have denied. Google banned political advertising on its platform before Canada’s federal election earlier this year, after the country introduced stringent transparency rules. Google also said last month it would stop giving advertisers data such as public voter records and general political affiliations to target their ads. The move coincides with pressure on social media platforms over their handling of political ads ahead of the U.S. presidential election in 2020.

2017-09-15 | TALLINN (Reuters) - Nearly one third of European Union states backed a plan to tax digital multinationals on their turnover, France said on Friday, as the EU weighs a range of other measures to increase the tax bill of companies like Google and Amazon. The moves are part of a growing campaign in the EU to claim tax revenues that online giants are accused of skirting by routing most of their profits to low tax rate states, like Ireland and Luxembourg. “The digital economy should be taxed as the rest of the economy,” the EU commissioner for taxation, Pierre Moscovici, told reporters upon his arrival on Friday to a meeting of euro zone and EU finance ministers in Tallinn, the Estonian capital. A report published on Thursday by influential EU lawmaker Paul Tang estimated that Google, which has its EU tax residence in Ireland, paid taxes not higher than 0.8 percent of its EU revenues between 2013 and 2015. Facebook, also based in Ireland, had a ratio as little as 0.1 percent in the same period, while Luxembourg-based Amazon paid almost nothing as it reported nearly no profits. Facebook and Google were not immediately available to comment on the proposals when contacted by Reuters. Most of the 28 EU states agree in principle with more effective taxation of digital companies, but differences remain on how to move forward. A plan proposed by France to tax large digital corporations on their turnover, rather than on their profits, is gaining supporters, although still needs technical work. France’s Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire told a news conference on Friday that a total of nine countries “formally joined the initiative”. In addition to France, they are Germany, Italy, Spain, Austria, Bulgaria, Greece, Slovenia and Latvia. A tax on turnover would raise revenues also from companies, like Amazon, that do not report profits, and would be likely applied quickly, a European official said. However, it would need to be made compliant with EU internal market rules. States could also apply it unilaterally, but that would expose them to a higher chance of legal challenges, the official said. Opposition from smaller states would need to be overcome, as countries like Ireland and Luxembourg may lose tax revenues from the new framework. Tax reforms in the EU need unanimity among EU states, a factor that has blocked many overhauls in the past. Estonia, who holds the EU rotating presidency, is pushing for a more structural approach. It wants the EU to agree that a company could be taxed when it is “virtually” present in a country, through a digital platform for instance. At the moment, businesses are taxed only in countries where they have a concrete presence, such as a plant. This change could be introduced in a review of EU rules on the tax base that are under discussion in the Parliament and among EU states. Tang plans to submit an amendment going in that direction. The European Commission, the EU’s executive, said it will present in the coming days a document listing several options for moving forward. A Commission official said the document could propose five or six possible measures, including the French and the Estonian plans. He warned against risks of diverging taxation in EU states and insisted a compromise on a common set of rules should be the objective. The document will be ready for a summit of EU leaders dedicated to digital issues that will be held in Tallinn on Sept. 29, Moscovici said.

2017-09-14 | LONDON (Reuters) - The Bank of England said it was likely to raise interest rates in the coming months if the economy and price pressures keep growing, giving its clearest signal to date that Britain’s first rate hike in a decade is approaching. The BoE said its tolerance for above-target inflation was lessening even if Britain’s departure from the European Union remained a risk. Data this week showed prices rising faster and unemployment falling to a four-decade low. Policymakers voted 7-2 on Thursday to keep rates on hold at a record-low 0.25 percent, as expected. But the new guidance from the BoE pushed sterling to a one-year high against the U.S. dollar. Investors priced in a more than 50 percent chance of a rate hike before the year’s end. The BoE said the economy now looked closer to running at full capacity as employment rose and wages picked up, boosting inflation pressures. If this continued, most of its policymakers felt “some withdrawal of monetary stimulus was likely to be appropriate over the coming months,” it said. Governor Mark Carney said he was among the BoE rate-setters who felt the balance of risks for the economy was shifting away from a Brexit slowdown and toward rising inflation, meaning the chance of a rate hike had “definitely increased”. “I would describe (a rate hike in) November as being live,” Nomura economist George Buckley said. Other economists said they still thought the BoE was in no hurry, given the slowdown in Britain’s economy this year and the doubts about what leaving the EU in 2019 will mean. “We see this as an attempt to shake markets out of their complacency after the failure of previous, subtler, attempts,” Andrew Goodwin, an economist at Oxford Economics, said. The Brexit vote has put the BoE in a dilemma. On the one hand, it wants to support the economy through its EU divorce, leaving it behind other central banks raising interest rates such as the U.S. Federal Reserve. But at the same time, it needs to keep a grip on inflation which rose sharply after the Brexit vote weakened the pound. The BoE has previously suggested a rate hike was nearing only to be caught out by surprises in the economy, earning Carney the epithet of “unreliable boyfriend” from a politician. Indeed, the BoE said on Thursday there were “considerable risks” to the outlook, including Brexit. Next week Prime Minister Theresa May is due to give a speech on Brexit and her Conservative Party holds a conference in October. May will also attend an EU summit next month. Economists at Citi said there still hurdles in the way of a rate hike. “If these events pass without significant effect on economic confidence, if inflation exceeds 3 percent in October and if the labor market continues to tighten, a 25 basis-point Bank Rate hike could become a reality for November,” they said. Most economists had been expecting a first rate hike by the BoE only in 2019, according to a Reuters poll last month. The BoE said on Thursday that the economy had done a bit better than expected since its policymakers met in August, but it was unclear how sustained any increase in growth might be. Inflation was likely to rise further above its 2 percent target and exceed 3 percent in October, slightly more than previous forecasts, after reaching 2.9 percent last month. Most economists judge that wage growth is still weak at 2.1 percent year-on-year in July. But the BoE surprised many of them, saying pay was rising at an annualized rate of 3 percent when measured over a shorter period. Furthermore, statistical effects might be making pay look too low, it added. The BoE also said there were signs consumer demand might now be picking up after inflation hurt spending earlier this year. And it repeated its warning that Britain could no longer grow as fast as it had in the past without causing excessive inflation. Two policymakers, Ian McCafferty and Michael Saunders, voted once again to raise rates to 0.5 percent to reverse the emergency cut made in August 2016 shortly after the Brexit vote. Some analysts had expected BoE Chief Economist Andy Haldane to join the dissenters. Gertjan Vlieghe, who was the first MPC member to vote for a rate cut after the Brexit vote, is due to speak on Friday while Carney will make a speech on Monday.

The Wildcats, winners of 11 of their last 12 games, including five in a row, shot 21-for-23 on free throws and dominated on the glass with 43 rebounds. The Wildcats (15-3, 5-1) shot 9-for-25 on 3-pointers. Butler, which won 15 of its first 16 games this season, has now dropped three consecutive conference games after shooting 25 percent (5-for-20) on 3-pointers against Villanova. The Bulldogs (15-4, 3-3) were led by Kamar Baldwin, who finished with 21 points. The Wildcats raised their lead to 43-26 on consecutive 3-pointers and a free throw by Bey in the opening minute of the second half. The Bulldogs used a 9-2 run to slice the deficit to 45-35 following a Bryce Golden 3-pointer. Trailing 49-37, the Bulldogs fought back with an 8-0 run, highlighted by six straight points by Baldwin at the 11:20 mark. Just like in the first half, the Wildcats answered with a run of their own, seizing a 56-45 lead after a Justin Moore 3-pointer with 9:03 remaining. Samuels scored six points in a span of 1:15 to extend the lead to 62-49 with 4:18 left, while Moore hit four late free throws to seal the win. The battle of highly ranked conference rivals started off with a number of first-half runs. The Bulldogs broke out to an 8-2 lead, but the Wildcats answered with a 10-0 run to take a 12-8 edge on a jumper by Samuels. The Bulldogs clawed back from a nine-point hole when Golden scored on a layup to lower the gap to 27-24 with 4:33 left. The Wildcats scored five straight points to regain control of the game, then held the Bulldogs scoreless in the final 2:01 to build a 36-26 lead at halftime. The Wildcats shot 6-for-17 on 3-pointers and dominated the boards with a 24-16 advantage in the opening half. —Field Level Media | 36,754 | [

2016-11-25 | Angela Merkel has confirmed she is running for a fourth term as German chancellor, but a reshuffle in the rival socialist party could prove to be a major hurdle in her path to regaining power. Martin Schulz, currently president of the European Parliament and member of the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD), has announced this week that he is returning to domestic politics. Though he is expected to take on the foreign minister role first, media reports suggest that his ultimate goal is vying for power with Merkel. "Schulz, if supported by his party, could stand for a clear pro-European platform in the elections and would force Merkel to put her cards on the table," Carsten Brzeski, chief economist at ING Germany, told CNBC via email. He added that "Schulz's rhetorics are clearly better than Merkel's. So, at first glance, this would be bad news for Merkel but good news for Germany." Schulz's experience in European politics could force Merkel to be more specific about her strategy to deal with the euro zone economy, more integration within the EU, the refugee crisis and the exit negotiations with Britain. Ralf Stegner, deputy leader of the SPD, told CNBC on Friday that his colleague was a "really good European politician." Stegner confirmed the SPD had not yet decided who will be its candidate for the upcoming 2017 federal election, but that it will do so "soon." Schulz is expected to replace the current German foreign minister, also from the SPD, Frank Walter Steinmeier, as the latter eyes the German presidency. With a strong position in the German cabinet and without a clear rival within his party, Schulz could fill the SPD's spot on the paper ballot. However, some speculation suggests that Schulz would have to go up against SPD Chairman Sigmar Gabriel, who is also economy minister and vice chancellor. Stegner told CNBC that Schulz is "one of the best" people that the party has to attract young voters and speak out against populism. Follow CNBC International on and Facebook. | 1,935 | [

2019-08-23 00:00:00 | TORREON, Mexico (Reuters) - Fifteen years after her daughter’s disappearance, 55-year-old Silvia Ortiz spends day after day raking through arid scrubland in northern Mexico hoping to find her remains. Ortiz belongs to a group of families working to uncover graves of some of the 40,000 people who have gone missing in mounting lawlessness since the government sent in the armed forces to tackle Mexico’s drug cartels at the end of 2006. More than 200,000 people have been killed in the violence since then, and shedding light on the fate of the disappeared is one of the toughest challenges facing the administration of President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador. Criminal gangs often bury the bodies of victims in clandestine graves. Some have been known to try to minimize evidence by dismembering or dousing them in acid. Meanwhile, Mexican criminal investigators and forensic teams have struggled to keep up with the increased workload during the surge in killings. Fear of reprisals at the hands of perpetrators can also impede efforts to identify victims. Decked out in surgical masks and sun hats, Ortiz’s collective - Grupo Vida or “Life Group” - keeps up a near-constant digging operation around the city of Torreon in the state of Coahuila. The volunteer association made up of relatives of local missing people set out six years ago to uncover clandestine graves, saying government officials were not trying hard enough to find or identify human remains. “This is why we say we’re facing a forensic emergency,” said Ortiz, sitting at home with her husband, Oscar Sanchez, surrounded by framed photos of their daughter Silvia Stephanie Sanchez before she disappeared in 2004, aged 16. She has not been heard from since. Jose Angel Herrera, Coahuila’s special prosecutor for disappeared people, said authorities are cooperating with Grupo Vida in the area around Torreon and conducting their own missions in other parts of the state. In Coahuila, 2,144 people reported missing have never been found, Herrera said. Many disappeared while the territory was ravaged by the Zetas, a notoriously brutal drug cartel. The state has identified the remains of 235 missing people through digs, including those led by Grupo Vida. The group works for a week at a time, and many members struggle to keep their jobs during digs, Ortiz said. Two weeks ago, Grupo Vida opened a tortilleria, launched with a grant from the American Jewish World Service, a non-profit group. They hope money from the enterprise can cover the operating costs of their community-led forensic digs. Grupo Vida said since 2013 it has uncovered 27 sites with human remains, 10 full skeletons and hundreds of thousands of bone fragments, enabling over 100 disappeared to be identified. Lopez Obrador has vowed to identify thousands of human remains in morgues and mass graves around the country, which he has called the “worst legacy” of past governments. Members of Grupo Vida have yet to feel the benefits of his pledge, according to Ortiz, who said the result has been “working groups and photos, no real action on the searches.” Still, prosecutor Herrera said the new administration helped fund construction of a center that will work to establish the identities of the state’s backlog of human remains. Regardless of the adversity, Ortiz said she would continue the search “until the last person is found.” Reporting by Daniel Becerril and Luis Ochoa; additional reporting and writing by Rebekah F Ward in Mexico City; Editing by Dave Graham and Cynthia Osterman | 8,167 | [

2018-09-05 | (CNN)The mayor of a town on the popular holiday destination of Cebu was killed Wednesday, two months after two other town mayors were shot in other parts of the Philippines. Ronda Mayor Mariano Blanco was shot by unidentified gunman in his office building in the early hours of Wednesday morning, according to CNN Philippines. Provincial police said the investigation is ongoing and they have yet to identify any possible suspects or motive. Blanco's death comes five months after the town's vice-mayor, Jonah John Ungab, was also killed by unidentified gunmen and two months after the mayors of Tanauan and General Tinio were shot dead. Police said it is unclear if any of the incidents are linked. Tanauan City Mayor Antonio Halili was shot by a sniper in July during a flag-raising ceremony outside of the City Hall. The killing was captured on a video that showed scenes of panic seconds after the shot was fired. In the video, Halili is seen standing in a line with government employees as the flag is raised and those in attendance sing the national anthem. As the camera strays to film another group, a single shot rings out, followed by screams and a woman's voice, saying "Oh my God" in English. Days later, Mayor Ferdinand Bote of the town of General Tinio in Nueva Ecija province was gunned down by a motorcycle-riding suspect in nearby Cabanatuan City. In total, more than 15 mayors and vice-mayors have been killed since President Rodrigo Duterte took office in mid-2016, according to CNN Philippines. Some of those killed have been linked to the drugs trade or crackdowns upon it. Duterte's administration has conducted an intensive war on drugs and anti-corruption campaign which has seen thousands of extralegal killings and allegations of widespread human rights abuses. | 96,635 | [

2017-10-17 10:45:00 | Ed Sheeran's manager Stuart Camp tweeted Monday that Sheeran's accident over the weekend was merely a fall. He wasn't hit by a car, as many intuited. "Calm down dears..just a bike fall. more news as we can share it," Camp wrote, reassuring fans. Sheeran has yet to announced how his accident will affect his upcoming tour dates. This story was originally published on October 16, 2017, at 10:45 a.m. While riding his bike this weekend, a car hit Ed Sheeran. Don't worry, the redheaded crooner is okay. Marie Claire reports that Sheeran shared news of the accident on his Instagram Monday morning, reassuring fans that he's okay, although his injuries might affect further shows. "I've had a bit of a bicycle accident and I’m currently waiting on some medical advice, which may affect some of my upcoming shows," he wrote. "Please stay tuned for further news." In the accompanying photo, Sheeran sports a cast on one wrist, and a sling around the other. Sheeran just concluded the North American leg of his Shape of You tour. His last date was October 7 in Nashville, Tennessee. In late October, he is scheduled to begin the Asian leg of his tour. (His next date is October 22 in Taipei, Taiwan.) Radio host Kent Small, a.k.a. Smallzy, tweeted a couple of hours before Sheeran shared the news that sources were telling him Sheeran endured a bike accident. "Hope what I'm hearing isn't true," he wrote. "Sources in LDN @edsheeran telling me he's been hit by a car while riding a bike.. Sending healing vibes." Sheeran spent the first part of his tour with singer James Blunt, who announced in August that he would depart Sheeran's tour for his own. "I think my ambition has always been to be Ed Sheeran’s bitch and it’s a job I really love," Blunt told The Guardian. "I can’t tell you how awesome this gig is. I play for 40 minutes before him, that means I’m off stage two hours before him, that means I’ve two hours extra drinking time ahead of him and he’s playing catch-up." The "You're Beautiful" singer will be headlining a tour of New Zealand and Australia. When Sheeran concluded his U.S. tour just last week, he reminisced about the adventure on Instagram. "This USA leg of the tour ends today, been a very fun 4 months, will be back here next year the stadium tour which I'm super excited about," he wrote. "Off to shoot a music video tomorrow for 'Perfect' and then we go to Asia for 6 weeks for shows, which I'm excited about too. Thanks to everyone who's come to the shows so far, and thank you to @jamesblunt for being a fantastic opening act." The accident occurred in London, where Sheeran was presumably shooting the music video for "Perfect."

(iStock) Frankenstein is born again – this time, on Halloween. Florida parents Kyle and Jessica Frankenstein welcomed their baby, Oskar Gray Frankenstein, into the world early Tuesday at the Winter Park Memorial Hospital outside of Orlando, WKMG Orlando reported . "He was due four days ago and he decided to wait until Halloween,” her grandmother Jennifer Frankenstein told the station. The baby weighed in at six pounds and 9 ounces, and is 20 inches long, The Associated Press reported. MOM FINDS HEROIN IN DAUGHTER&aposS HALLOWEEN CANDY Jennifer Frankenstein also said she has a 13-year-old daughter who shares a birthday with "Frankenstein" author Mary Shelley. “Everybody’s safe and sound and we’re super excited,” she told the station. | 59,197 | [

2016-09-09 00:00:00 | TORONTO, Sept 9 (Reuters) - Canada’s main stock index fell at the open on Friday, with energy stocks off 1.7 percent on lower crude prices, as the broader market echoed a global retreat influenced by weak German trade data. The Toronto Stock Exchange’s S&P/TSX composite index was down 97.32 points, or 0.66 percent, at 14,705.94 shortly after the open. That was its lowest level this week.

2016-07-18 18:30:00 | Here’s at least one piece of good news for Taylor Swift. TMZ reports that the singer is now listed as a co-writer along with Calvin Harris for the Rihanna hit “This Is What You Came For.” Swift, whose credit in the BMI licensing's registry was previously listed as her pseudonym, Nils Sjoberg, originally wanted to downplay her relationship with (now ex) Harris and keep the focus on the song. It appears that post-breakup, however, she’s changing her tune.When reports surfaced last week that Nils Sjoberg didn’t really exist, Calvin Harris took to Twitter to come clean about what happened behind the scenes — but not without throwing some shade on his former paramour. He also attempted to reignite her feud with Katy Perry, claiming that this sudden reveal is all because she needs to find "someone new to try and bury like Katy ETC.” Swift’s own Twitter has remained eerily silent on the matter. This change could come down to the simple fact that there’s no need for a pseudonym if the cat’s out of the bag, but the “Blank Space” singer has never been one to take things lying down. TMZ hints that this could be the beginning of a legal battle between the former lovers. Of course, she’ll have to finish dealing with Kim and Kanye first. | 27,526 | [

2019-04-08 12:25:33 | Lyft is going after Morgan Stanley, following reports that the firm was selling a product to help investors short sell the ride-sharing company’s stock. Last week, the New York Post reported that Morgan Stanley — the lead underwriter for Lyft’s main rival Uber — was helping investors bet on a drop in Lyft’s stock prices. In response, Lyft sent a letter to Morgan Stanley demanding answers and threatening litigation, according to CNBC. Morgan Stanley has denied the claims, telling CNBC that “[A]ny suggestion that Morgan Stanley has engaged in an effort to apply ‘short pressure’ to Lyft is false.” The situation could turn out to be a big battle around one of several major tech IPOs this year.[Deirdre Bosa and Leslie Picker / CNBC] [Want to get the Recode Daily in your inbox?

The duo behind the mega popular HBO series Westworld will work for Amazon on a reported five-year deal to create new shows for the streaming service. “We can’t wait to dive in to make some batshit crazy television together.” said Lisa Joy and Jonah Nolan in a joint statement. The pair will continue to develop the popular Westworld series for Warner Bros. TV, which is in production for its third season and is expected to be renewed for another. As the Hollywood Reporter writes, “Joy and Nolan become the latest showrunners to move their overall deals at a time when streamers like Netflix have created a war for top talent.”[Lesley Goldberg / The Hollywood Reporter] Almost 70 percent of Americans use social media once a day, and 82 percent believe it’s a waste of time, according to a new poll released by the Wall Street Journal and NBC. A clear majority of people — 57 percent — polled also thought that social media is harming society, saying that it “divides” people. However, about the same number of people also thought that “technology has more benefits than drawbacks,” because it of its efficiency and economic contributions. People were close to evenly split about whether they think the major tech companies like Apple, Google, and Facebook should be split up, with 47 percent agreeing and 50 percent disagreeing.[Mark Murray / NBC News] Google’s external ethics board ended in controversy, but its relatively unknown internal one “with actual power” still exists. Last week, Google disbanded its external ethics board amid controversy over its membership. However, an internal privacy board made up of its own executives, which was created last year, still exists. A new Bloomberg report provides some details about this board, including its members, such as Google’s chief legal officer Kent Walker and its head of AI Jeff Dean. The board’s goal is to “represent diverse, international, cross-functional points of view that can look beyond immediate commercial concerns,” according to internal Google documents cited in the Bloomberg article. Whether or not the board is providing sufficient ethical oversight is up for debate — and hard to know without understanding more details about how it works.[Joshua Brustein and Mark Bergen / Bloomberg] Apple has sold lots of music subscriptions — so it thinks it will sell lots of other stuff, too.

2017-04-09 20:15:00 | 3 Generations has seen controversy follow it since it was shot three years ago. The movie, which may well be the first mainstream film to depict a person transitioning, stars Elle Fanning as a transgender boy as he grows up in a multigenerational Brooklyn household. Why the movie was shot in 2014 and only now getting a trailer, we don't know, but we do know that Susan Sarandon, Elle Fanning, and Naomi Watts are all excellent actresses at the top of their game. The film has been slapped with an R rating, something producer Harvey Weinstein is fighting furiously, but the trailer doesn't look at all R-rated to us. The film on display is one that takes the struggles of a family to accept and comprehend their transgender son's true identity while dealing with their own past mistakes. Sarandon stars as Ray's lesbian grandmother, who initially doesn't understand why Ray doesn't just identify as a lesbian. Watts is Ray's doting mother with an apparently spotty sexual history. Fanning's casting initially caused a stir because casting a cisgender woman in a role as a trans boy seemed like appropriation, especially alongside the then-current choice of Eddie Redmayne as the star of The Danish Girl. In this brief look at Fanning, she seems up to filling the role. But we can't be sure that there isn't some indelible nuance lost by not choosing an actor more familiar with the particular challenge that transitioning presents. Watch the trailer below. | 5,365 | [

2016-12-07 13:54:24 | MUMBAI, India — Cricket plans to introduce red cards to curb aggression and police bad behavior in matches, a watershed moment for a sport that has traditionally considered its spirit and camaraderie sufficient to prevent such problems, and one that until now has avoided any form of in-game punishment. Starting in October, however, cricket will give umpires the power to send off players for aggressive or threatening actions on the field of play. The significant change to the laws, advocated by the Marylebone Cricket Club World Cricket committee — an independent body affiliated with the M.C.C., which controls the laws of cricket — is a belated recognition that the sport is not immune to bad on-field behavior. The amateur game is of particular concern, with numerous nations worrying about a rise in aggression toward opponents and umpires in recent years. “It has got completely out of hand down there,” Ricky Ponting, a former Australia captain who sits on the cricket club committee, said at the announcement on Wednesday. “We have got to the stage that something had to be done to prevent these things happening.” The rise in aggressive behavior on the field has led to particular concerns about a potential dearth of umpires in club matches. A recent study, conducted by Portsmouth University, found that 40 percent of British umpires were considering giving up refereeing because of verbal abuse. As the club noted, cricket is the rare sport that has no immediate in-game punishments. Even for the worst behavior on the field, the only penalties that can currently be issued are fines or suspensions from future matches. “Taking an extreme example,” the Marylebone Cricket Club said, “a batsman could willfully hit a member of the fielding side with their bat before carrying on to score a century to win the match for their team.” In a famous incident in 1981, the Australian fast bowler Dennis Lillee confronted the Pakistani batsman Javed Miandad, who subsequently lifted his bat as if to strike Lillee, before the umpire intervened and separated the men. Both players subsequently remained on the field. There have been other notorious episodes that did not lead to immediate punishment. In 1980, the West Indies fast bowler Michael Holding kicked down the stumps, the vertical posts that support the bails and form the wicket, to protest an umpire’s decision. In 1997, Inzamam-ul-Haq, a Pakistani batsman, jumped into the crowd to confront an Indian spectator who was heckling him, and he had to be held back when he raised a bat above his head. So while cricket has always considered itself a sport with a unique code of conduct — the preamble to the laws of the game refers to the “spirit of cricket” — this has often been a myth when it comes to player behavior and other areas. There are records of gambling on cricket from the 17th century, as well as accusations of match fixing. The introduction of the red card in cricket is expected to be ratified by the main M.C.C. committee in February. Unless the sport’s governing body, the International Cricket Council, exempts its matches from the change — which is highly unlikely because it was consulted before the M.C.C. announced its changes this week — red cards would then be incorporated into laws for all international matches. National leagues also might be allowed to introduce smaller penalties, like yellow cards, for lesser incidents of bad behavior. | 3,347 | [

2016-03-15 00:00:00 | (CNN)Donald Trump seemed to walk back his promise to pay the legal fees of supporters who are charged for violence at his rallies when pressed on the subject by ABC's "Good Morning America" on Tuesday. "By paying those (legal) fees, wouldn't you be rewarding and encouraging violence?" asked host George Stephanopoulos. "No, no I didn't say that. I haven't looked at it yet, and nobody's asked me to pay for fees, and somebody asked me a question and I haven't even seen it, so I never said I was going to pay for fees," the Republican front-runner said, at first denying what he has said both during a campaign rally and on Sunday during an interview. Donald Trump rallies are turning violent At a rally in February, Trump told his supporters about protesters: "Knock the crap out of them, would you? Seriously. OK? Just knock the hell -- I promise you, I will pay for the legal fees. I promise, I promise." And in an interview on NBC's "Meet the Press" this Sunday, Trump said he had directed his staff to "look into" paying the legal fees of a supporter who sucker punched a protester at a rally last Wednesday in North Carolina. "I've actually instructed my people to look into it, yes," Trump replied when asked about paying the fees. On Tuesday, questioned again if he was "open to that," and if paying the fees meant rewarding violence, Trump said, "Well maybe so, and maybe that's why I wouldn't do it. I don't condone violence at all, and you know I looked and I watched and I'm going to make a decision." Opinion: The cause of violence at Trump rallies "I certainly don't condone violence and maybe you're right and maybe that's why I wouldn't do it," he said. | 72,881 | [

2019-05-28 14:55:00 | An amateur wildlife photographer is enjoying an A-list moment of fame thanks to a brush with Bruce the bald eagle. According to BBC, Steve Biro was visiting the Canadian Raptor Conservancy in Ontario, when he caught the eye of one of the sanctuary’s most famous residents. “He was actually trying to brush me away from where I was perched,” the photographer said of Bruce’s reaction to his photo shoot. The eagle flew low over a small pond, right at Biro, once he locked eyes with the man with the camera. This dive allowed Biro to capture some stunning shots of the bird staring directly at the camera as the animal swooped over the reflective surface of the water. Out of the many fantastic shots Biro got from this moment, one photo stood out to him from the rest. “So lucky to capture a symmetrical reflection of this beautiful Bald Eagle coming straight at me!” Biro captioned the shot on Instagram. “He’s squared up perfectly, both wings are touching the water,” the photographer told BBC about the same photo. “That was the one that struck me as as little more special than the others. But I still didn’t even know how it would resonate with people.” Turns out others saw the photo the same way. After Biro posted the symmetrical shot on his Instagram and to Facebook photography groups, it began to go viral, ending up on the front page of Reddit. It is a special moment for the man who started taking photos 10 years ago, and continues to enjoy the hobby because it makes him feel like a child seeing the world anew again. Along with getting a well-deserved 15 minutes of fame from the Internet, Biro also received a real-life encounter he will never forget. “The Eagle was literally flying inches over my head where I was sitting, it was an amazing experience!” Biro posted on Facebook along with a video of the jaw-dropping encounter. | 5,806 | [

2018-01-21 19:45:00 | There’s a baby on board for Yael Stone! The Orange Is the New Black star — known for her role as Lorna Morello on the Netflix hit — walked the red carpet ahead of Sunday evening’s Screen Actors Guild Awards, dressed in a long yellow and white gown with a plunging neckline that showed off her growing baby bump. Alongside her cast mates, Stone, 32, is nominated for outstanding performance by an ensemble in a comedy series. Uzo Aduba is also up for outstanding performance by a female actor in a comedy series. To donate to the Time’s Up Legal Defense Fund, which will provide subsidized legal support to women and men in all industries who have experienced sexual harassment, assault, or abuse in the workplace, visit its GoFundMe page. Learn more about Time’s Up, an organization of women in entertainment combating sexual harassment and inequality, on its website. The Australian actress’ real-life situation imitates her art: on the latest season of OITNB, her character Morello became pregnant after taking what turns into a drawer full of positive pregnancy tests. During the season, friend-with-benefits Nicky (played by Natasha Lyonne) comforted Morello as she panicked over being behind bars during her future child’s biggest milestones.

On New Year’s Day, Stone shared a Polaroid from the previous evening, in which she’s cradling her growing baby bump with her hand on her hip. “Hello 2018,” she captioned the moment. “Last night Gloria Gaynor sang from her soul and reminded us We Will Survive.

Image 2 of 2 LIMA, Peru – For five decades, Ana Carrion has donned a purple robe and joined hundreds of thousands of people who pour into Lima&aposs streets in late October to venerate a 17th century rendering of Jesus Christ. It&aposs called the Lord of Miracles and is credited with everything from curing illness to protecting this coastal city from earthquakes. "I feel an energy that relieves me of all my pain," said Carrion, a 59-year-old architect who believes her faith in the religious icon is what has seen her through four heart surgeries. The image&aposs trek through the city over five days is one of the largest processions in the Roman Catholic world, attracting more than 100,000 people and culminating every Nov. 1 when a giant replica is carried to Las Nazarenas monastery in downtown Lima where the original mural is. Celebrations are also held in every corner of this Andean country as well as far away as Italy and Japan as part of the fast-growing Peruvian diaspora&aposs ways to reconnect with its roots. The image of a darker-skinned Jesus on the cross is believed to have been painted by an Angolan-born slave. After a devastating earthquake in 1655, the wall with the mural was one of the few parts of the church still intact. Deeming this a miracle, people gave the image an additional name — "The Christ of Earthquakes" — and almost ever since have paid homage to it in citywide processions. "The fact that it&aposs a non-white image makes it easier for Peruvians to identify with," said Karsten Paerregaard, an anthropology professor from the University of Gothenburg in Sweden who has studied the phenomenon. "Everyone knows that white people are a minority, and Peruvians are a mestizo people, and it&aposs been like that since the days of the Spanish conquest." The procession of the replica, which is hoisted on a 1-ton wooden platform carried by a constantly recycling group of 30 male worshippers, draws huge, traffic-snarling crowds the likes of which Peru rarely sees. In this staunchly Catholic nation, it&aposs also an obligatory touchstone for self-respecting politicians and celebrities who pose for photos with devotees. But beyond the very public street festival there are also more intimate moments, like when the painting stops at several public hospitals and is greeted by dozens of sick patients and women about to give birth. "It cures all of your illnesses, all of your suffering, and takes away all of the sins that fester inside you," said Carrion. ___ Associated Press writer Franklin Briceno contributed to this report. | 100,826 | [

2016-11-29 | THE TOPLINE: The final version of an annual defense policy bill jettisons a number of controversial provisions and would authorize $3.2 billion more than President Obama requested. Senior staffers from the House and Senate Armed Services committees in a Tuesday background briefing detailed the end result of months of negotiations to reconcile the two chambers' versions of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). The bill would authorize a total of $618.7 billion. Of that, $59.5 would be used for a war fund known as the Overseas Contingency Operations (OCO) account. Another $8.3 billion from the OCO account would be used for base budget requirements such as a pay raise for troops and troop increases. President Obama requested $5.1 billion from OCO for base requirements. The troop pay raise would be 2.1 percent, above the president's request for 1.6 percent pay raise. End strength would also be increased across the services. The Hill's Rebecca Kheel breaks it all down here. SEC DEF WATCH: Retired Marine Gen. James Mattis recently backed out of a speaking engagement at a conference in Washington, D.C., amid speculation he could be appointed Defense secretary by President-elect Donald TrumpDonald John TrumpTrump pushes back on recent polling data, says internal numbers are 'strongest we've had so far' Illinois state lawmaker apologizes for photos depicting mock assassination of Trump Scaramucci assembling team of former Cabinet members to speak out against Trump MORE. Mattis was listed as a confirmed speaker, according to an original agenda posted to the website for the Jamestown Foundation, the host of its Tenth Annual Terrorism Conference taking place on Dec. 14. However, Mattis informed the Foundation last week he could no longer speak at the conference, according to a source. A Foundation employee confirmed on Monday that there had been changes over the Thanksgiving break and Mattis is no longer on the agenda. Mattis has also discussed his potential selection with senior leadership of the Center for a New American Security (CNAS), where he sits on the board, according to a source. CNAS President Richard Fontaine praised Mattis in a phone interview with The Hill on Monday and said he sees a role for the group to influence policy in the Trump administration. "Yea, absolutely. Well Gen. Mattis is on the CNAS board, so that's for starters," said Fontaine, who said he did not know who Trump's final choice would be. "And it's not just about Gen. Mattis. We've been in touch with folks on the transition team, dating to before the election." The Hill's Kristina Wong has more here. SEC STATE WATCH: On the Secretary of State front, Tennessee Sen. Bob Corker (R) emerged from a Tuesday meeting at Trump Tower praising President-elect Donald Trump's foreign policy chops. Corker is under consideration to be Trump's secretary of State. "It's been an honor to have the kind of meeting that I had today," Corker told the press pool assembled in the lobby of Trump's Manhattan skyscraper. "We had a very wide ranging meeting, actually a couple meetings and his instincts on foreign policy are obviously very, very good." Corker confirmed that he's "in the running for a cabinet position" but that while the decision is narrowed down to a "very small group," he's unsure of the timeline. Trump met with Gen. David Petraeus on Monday and is slated to meet with Mitt Romney later Tuesday, two leading candidates. And Reuters reported that Trump will also meet on Tuesday with Rudy Giuliani, a Trump loyalist who is pushing for the job. The Hill's Ben Kamisar has more on the meetings here.

US MILITARY WRAPS UP AIRSTRIKE PROBE: A U.S. military general on Tuesday said "unintentional human errors" led to the deadly coalition bombing of Syrian-aligned forces near Deir Ezzor on Sept. 17. U.S. Air Force Brig. Gen. Richard Coe, the investigating officer, called the bombing, which occurred during a U.S.-Russia brokered ceasefire, "regrettable." Coe said the coalition forces who participated in the bombing -- which included U.S., Australian and Danish forces -- believed they were striking Islamic State in Iraq and Syria forces.

2019-04-19 05:00:05 | Past Tense You’re still here. Samuel E. Ward and Catherine Ferrer, center, on Seventh Avenue and 131st Street. April 14, 1968.CreditCreditDon Hogan Charles/The New York Times In the Northern Hemisphere, spring can be defined as the moment the sun glides across the celestial equator in late March. As we tilt toward that wondrous starlight, its rays become more concentrated on our side of the earth, giving us our warmer half of the year. There is no bigger deal in astrology. It is a powerful season, one defined by cosmic regeneration, “the beginning of rebirth,” as the astrologer Chani Nicholas reminded me by text the other day. It embodies more of a new year than the ending of the calendar year, a celestial orientation that manifests in many communities and cultures that observe solar and lunar calendars. The rituals of spring take on many earthly forms, each revolving around similar themes of liberation and renewal. Passover celebrates the liberation of the Israelites from Egyptian slavery. Easter commemorates the resurrection of Jesus from the dead after his crucifixion by the Romans. Nowruz, the Persian New Year, which translates to English as “new day,” marks a time of spiritual prosperity, shedding the past and welcoming a fresh future. In Chinese communities, the festival of Qingming signifies a time for seasonal clearings, including flying kites, outdoor outings and visit to tombs to clean them and leave offerings for ancestors. The ancient Greeks rationalized the warmer seasons as the emotional outgrowth of Demeter, the goddess of fertility and harvest, overjoyed at the return of her daughter Persephone to Olympus from the Underworld. The Aztecs and Toltecs made sacrifices in honor of Xipe Totec, the patron god of seeds, their bloody appeal for a healthy crop for the coming year. The rites that correspond with this time of year are universal. They transcend era, religion and culture. Above all, the return of the sun means the return of life. It’s more than the unsheathing of one season as a means to get to another. Spring is an alchemic time that animates and invigorates all those who honor it with a sense of vitality and growth. Behavioral scientists have observed the importance of rituals on our ability to help us function and experience positive emotions. Work by Nicholas Hobson and others suggests that even the word “ritual” has more cognitive significance than near-synonyms like “habit” or “routine.” Ceremony is integral to our well-being; feeling a part of something bigger than ourselves can alleviate anxiety and help us retain a sense of control amid the chaos of the world. The familiarity is as palliative as the rituals, which echo the cyclical nature of the seasons, of life, of ups and downs. New Yorkers have a springtime ritual unto themselves. It’s called stepping out, and it happens once the city shakes off its barrenness and thaws out. Most humans are heliotropic, or inclined toward the sun, but New Yorkers are especially adept at tracking its movements. The burdens of living in a city that cedes basic human needs like comfort to productivity and efficiency are made exponentially worse by frigid treks to the subway, deceptively deep icy puddles and the indignity of overheated apartments that dry out skin and sinuses. Spring is more than a ritual — it’s a necessary reminder that these hardships we endure are only temporary. And what better way to celebrate a time of year marked by life and vitality than elaborate rituals of beauty, bodily adornment and anointment? New York is a city of display and voyeurism, and the celebrations that coincide with Easter Sunday make for an ideal moment to observe this phenomenon in full bloom. As the photographers of The New York Times have long documented, our city has made this day into one of collective worship. The traditions remain the same: Those who are religious head to services and a meal. Those of us who aren’t head to brunch, or maybe the park, sporting a freshly pressed suit, an elaborate hat, a big bow, a bright lip, a colorful jumpsuit or one of those delicate beaded Loeffler Randall bags that have suddenly and mysteriously become as ubiquitous as the cherry blossom trees in Brooklyn. Tina Campt, the author of “Listening to Images,” theorizes that photographs are haptic artifacts, capable of transmitting frequencies that can be felt, or heard by the body. “The notion of intimacy is precisely what I’m trying to get at when I’m talking about the haptics of images,” she said recently on the podcast “Imagine Otherwise.” “Sometimes we feel an active response to an image, but more often there is a passive response of connection.” The faces in these images speak of that connection. They breathe the audible sigh of relief — and pride — at surviving another New York City winter. They plan to celebrate by turning out in clothing that reminds them of their aliveness. They have survived and triumphed over another winter in the city, with a beautiful day as their hard-earned trophy. | 11,647 | [

2019-10-29 00:00:00 | Julian Castro is the Castro twin running for President, but that doesn't mean his brother -- Rep. Joaquin Castro -- isn't thinking about protecting his own neck, IF Julian goes the distance. We ran into the Castro twins Monday at Reagan National Airport in D.C., but instead of talking to the Democratic candidate -- we've talked to Julian plenty before -- we got the Congressman's take on something pretty fascinating. Seeing as how they're identical twins ... would Joaquin be eligible for his own Secret Service detail, if his bro were commander in chief? Joaquin certainly hopes so! As he tells us ... people still mistake him for Julian a lot, even though Joaquin's switched some things up about his look. Apparently, it hasn't been enough ... 'cause he says plenty of folks can't believe they're seeing Julian in the flesh, even though they're not. The distinguished gentleman from Texas cops to going along with it sometimes.

2019-06-26 00:00:00 | LONDON (Reuters) - Britain’s Prince William said on Wednesday it would be absolutely fine if one of his children was gay but admitted he was worried about the persecution and hatred they might face because of their royal status. The prince, 37, second-in-line to the British throne and destined to be the future monarch and as such nominal head of the Church of England, has three children with his wife Kate: George, 5, Charlotte, 4, and Louis, 2. “It is something I’m nervous about, not because I’m worried about them being gay or anything. It’s more about the fact that I’m worried about the pressures they’re going to face and how much harder their life could be,” William said on a visit to a charity which supports LGBTQ+ young homeless people. Asked how he would feel if one of them were to be gay, he said it would be “absolutely fine”. He said that the issue was something he had only started thinking about since becoming a parent. “Particularly for my family and the position we are in, that’s the bit I’m nervous about,” he said. “I fully support whatever decision they make but it does worry me from a parent point how many barriers, hateful words, persecution, all that discrimination that might come. “That’s the bit that really troubles me a little bit.” William made the comments on a visit to the Albert Kennedy Trust (akt) in London to open its new services center, a trip organized ahead of London’s annual Pride in London parade and to recognize the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall uprising. The anniversary commemorates the moment when patrons of a gay bar in New York City’s Greenwich Village called the Stonewall Inn rose up in defiance of police harassment, which led to a worldwide movement for equal rights for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and other queer people. Tim Sigsworth, akt’s chief executive, said William’s support would make a big difference. “I was first impressed by his level of knowledge already but his empathy and appreciation of the struggles and challenges faced by LGBT people was incredible to me,” he said. “And just his willingness to learn from the young people, his willingness to challenge his own perceptions and his willingness to come out in support of LGBT people in such a personal way as to refer to his children - that will make a massive difference.” Reporting by Michael Holden; Editing by Gareth Jones | 90,039 | [

2017-02-03 10:20:00 | Lock him up! Ansel Elgort released the music video for his new single “Thief” on Friday, and it’s a doozy. In the steamy clip, the crossover star is seen in various states of undress, flaunting his impressive six-pack and biceps as he does push-ups in his living room and romps around in bed with longtime girlfriend Violetta Komyshan before the two hit the shower for a sensual soak. The music video — directed by Elgort’s brother, Warren Elgort — complements the synthy banger’s sexy lyrics: “Skin on my skin / What a wonderful sin / Take your breath, but you’re asking for more / The tip of my finger is tracing your figure / I say goodnight and walk out the door.” “Thief” is Elgort’s second official single since he signed to Island Records in 2015. While this summer’s “Home Alone” was the first track he dropped that he sings on, Elgort, 22, previously released music — and played EDM festivals — under the pseudonym “Ansolo.” “I really respect the dance music industry. I didn’t want to come in and abuse the fact I was an actor and use my name to book gigs,” the Fault in Our Stars heartthrob previously told PEOPLE. “I’m not getting into music because I need to — I have a bunch of movies coming out. I just do this because I love it.” As for Elgort’s latest costar? He and high school sweetheart Komyshan, a professional ballerina, have dated for years. The pair — who occasionally put their love on display on Instagram — enjoyed a PDA-filled date night at the Global Citizen Festival in New York City last fall, where they enjoyed sets by Ellie Goulding and Kendrick Lamar. | 111,404 | [

2017-05-15 00:00:00 | PARIS/TOKYO (Reuters) - Renault-Nissan (RENA.PA) (7201.T) said on Monday that output had returned to normal at nearly all its plants, after a global cyber attack caused widespread disruption including stoppages at several of the auto alliance’s sites. Renault and its Japanese partner are the only major car manufacturers so far to have reported production problems resulting from Friday’s WannaCry ransomware worm attack that spread to more than 150 countries. Nissan said its huge factory in Sunderland, northeast England was operating normally, after Friday’s initial outbreak disrupted the final production shift before the weekend. However, manufacturing remained suspended at the Douai plant in northern France, where Renault builds pricier models including its Talisman sedan and Espace crossover, the company said. The cyber attack halted or reduced the output of at least five Renault sites over the weekend. Besides Douai, they included a van plant in Sandouville, France; a small-car plant in Slovenia; the no-frills Dacia plant in Pitesti, Romania; and a factory shared with Nissan in Chennai, India. “All Renault Group sites are operational with the exception of Douai, which reopens tomorrow,” a spokesman said. Lost production will be made up, he added, and the financial impact has yet to be calculated. Renault-Nissan’s main rivals appeared to escape any disruption. PSA Group (PEUP.PA), Fiat Chrysler (FCHA.MI), Volkswagen (VOWG_p.DE), Daimler (DAIGn.DE), Toyota (7203.T) and Honda (7267.T) all said their plants were unaffected. They declined to comment on their cybersecurity policies. “If we give any information on our systems we would be sending a message to potential hackers,” a PSA spokesman said. The attack damaged some high-profile targets, including Britain’s health service. But experts say the concentration of infections in emerging markets, with relatively low numbers in Europe and the United States, reflects the way they mainly affected older Windows computer systems. Paul Pratley of London-based MWR Infosecurity said WannaCry had in many cases hit budget-strapped organizations or older business units where it no longer made economic sense to upgrade hardware or software aggressively. “This primarily affected organizations using versions of Windows which are no longer supported, or which had not put mitigating controls like firewalls in place,” he said. Renault declined to say whether it saw any pattern of outages linked to geography, software generations or other factors. “There is a diversity of operating systems in use” at group facilities, the spokesman said. The stoppages were deliberate and preventive, Renault said, as sites reporting infections were unplugged from the network to prevent their spread. A Renault parts plant in Le Mans, France, which continued operating over the weekend without incident, has recently undergone refurbishment.

2017-02-24 00:00:00 | WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump criticized the FBI on Friday for failing to stop leaks of national security information to the media and directed the agency to find those who pass on classified information. Trump’s comments come amid media reports saying the FBI refused a White House request to knock down news stories saying members of Trump’s team were in frequent contact with Russian intelligence agents during the presidential campaign. The Federal Bureau of Investigation, the nation’s top law enforcement agency, did not answer a request for comment on Trump’s remarks on Twitter. “The FBI is totally unable to stop the national security ‘leakers’ that have permeated our government for a long time. They can’t even find the leakers within the FBI itself. Classified information is being given to media that could have a devastating effect on U.S. FIND NOW,” Trump wrote. News reports by CNN and The Associated Press said White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus asked Andrew McCabe, the FBI deputy director, to deny a Feb. 14 New York Times report that said Trump’s presidential campaign advisers had been in frequent contact with Russian intelligence officers. The request came after McCabe told him privately the report was wrong. A senior administration official said on Friday that FBI Director James Comey also told Priebus later the story was not accurate. Priebus asked if the FBI could set the record straight, but Comey said the bureau could not comment. Priebus asked if he could say intelligence officials assured him the story was inaccurate, and Comey said he could, the official told reporters. The FBI is investigating Russian interference in the Nov. 8 U.S. election. FBI counterintelligence agents are also examining financial transactions by Russian individuals and companies who are believed to have links to Trump associates. “There are investigations that are going on and those investigations must find out exactly what Russia was doing in the United States,” Senator Ben Cardin, the top Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, told CNN on Friday. “We need a complete investigation and we certainly don’t want the White House at all trying to influence that investigation.” U.S. Representative John Conyers said any White House attempt to influence the FBI was “deeply troubling.” “The White House is simply not permitted to pressure the FBI to make public statements about a pending investigation of the President and his advisors,” Conyers, the top Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, said in late on Thursday.

2019-09-24 00:00:00 | WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Chamber of Commerce said on Tuesday it was forming a climate change task force to better understand how businesses are responding to the issue, backing away from the skepticism on global warming that prompted several companies to quit the group a decade ago. “This is really driven by how much we’re learning from our members about the various things they’re doing in the climate space,” said Neil Bradley, the chamber’s chief policy officer. “Virtually any industry sector that you talk to, they’re taking action on climate and ... thinking about how climate change impacts their business model.” Bradley and other officials at the chamber announced the task force at a conference in New York. The move is a sign of how the chamber’s policy on climate has changed from a decade ago when Apple Inc (AAPL.O) and three big power utilities, Exelon Corp EXC.N, PG&E Corp (PCG.N) and PMN Resources Inc, left the organization because they disagreed with its climate change policy. The chamber had pushed then for public hearings to challenge scientific evidence that humans contribute to climate change. Last April, Royal Dutch Shell (RDSa.L) criticized the chamber’s climate policy, but remained in the group even though it quit other industry groups. Two weeks later, the chamber revised its website to acknowledge that humans contribute to climate change and that “inaction is simply not an option.” Bradley said that to support the business push for action on climate the chamber was supporting several bills that focus on energy innovation. These include areas such as advanced nuclear energy, capturing carbon emissions and storing them underground, and research and development for batteries to store electricity generated by wind and solar farms. The chamber said it does not have a position on a carbon tax, in which a fee would be placed on fossil fuels, some of which would be returned to consumers and workers to deal with costs associated with transition to low-carbon energy. Versions of a carbon tax are supported by several big energy companies such as Exxon Mobil Corp (XOM.N), BP PLC (BP.L) and Shell. A group of senior Republicans, including former secretaries of state James Baker and George Shultz, also support a carbon tax of some sort.

2018-04-04 | A federal judge on Wednesday appeared to reject the majority of the arguments made by former Trump campaign chairman Paul ManafortPaul John ManafortTrial of ex-Obama White House counsel suddenly postponed Top Mueller probe prosecutor to join Georgetown Law as lecturer DOJ releases notes from official Bruce Ohr's Russia probe interviews MORE in his lawsuit seeking to limit the scope of Robert MuellerRobert (Bob) Swan MuellerTrump calls for probe of Obama book deal Democrats express private disappointment with Mueller testimony Kellyanne Conway: 'I'd like to know' if Mueller read his own report MORE's special counsel investigation, Reuters reports. U.S. District Judge Amy Berman questioned Manafort's attorney on the legal reasoning behind the former Trump aide's argument that Mueller's investigation has overstepped and should be shut down. “I don’t really understand what is left of your case,” Berman reportedly told Manafort's attorney, Kevin Downing. Manafort's civil lawsuit relies in part on a law called the Administrative Procedure Act, which dictates how federal agencies write regulations. Manafort claims that Deputy Attorney General Rod RosensteinRod RosensteinWhy the presumption of innocence doesn't apply to Trump McCabe sues FBI, DOJ, blames Trump for his firing Rosenstein: Trump should focus on preventing people from 'becoming violent white supremacists' MORE's order last year appointing Mueller violated Justice Department policies. He also claims that Mueller does not have the authority to investigate allegations that predate his time on Trump's campaign. Mueller's team in a filing on Monday rebutted Manafort and asked the court to dismiss his lawsuit, saying it "lacks merit." "None of the authorities Manafort cites justifies dismissing an indictment signed by a duly appointed Department of Justice prosecutor based on an asserted regulatory violation, and none calls into question the jurisdiction of this court," the special counsel's office wrote. In a heavily redacted memo also filed Monday, the special counsel's office revealed that Rosenstein explicitly gave Mueller the authority to investigate Manafort's Ukraine work, along with whether he "committed a crime or crimes by colluding with Russian government officials" during the 2016 presidential race. Manafort is charged with money laundering and tax fraud related to his lobbying work for a pro-Russia political party in Ukraine. Mueller's team alleges that Manafort and his business associate, Richard Gates, attempted to conceal the money they made from that lobbying work from U.S. officials. Gates pleaded guilty to two charges earlier this year and is now cooperating with the special counsel's investigation. Manafort has pleaded not guilty and steadfastly denies both the charges and broader allegations of collusion with Russia during the 2016 race. "I had hoped and expected my business colleague would have had the strength to continue the battle to prove our innocence. For reasons yet to surface he chose to do otherwise. This does not alter my commitment to defend myself against the untrue piled up charges contained in the indictments against me,” Manafort said in February. View the discussion thread.

2016-12-01 19:00:00 | Even the most charitable watcher of Jurassic World would have noticed a major issue with Bryce Dallas Howard's footwear. Namely: She was wearing stiletto heels while tearing ass through the jungle, hoping to avoid being eaten by dinosaurs. Reactions to her character's shoe choice have been all over the map, with Howard herself seeming to take the entire controversy or "controversy" in relatively good fun. Here's a gif, because we have to, of all the characters in high heels. Howard told Cosmopolitan last year that she believed her shoe choice was true to her character.“And you know what? She's in high heels because she's a woman who has been in high heels her whole life, and she can fucking sprint in them,” Howard said. “She can. That's kind of how I perceived it. She doesn't have to be in menswear and flats in order to outrun a T. rex. That's what women can do.”Wise words. But they'll be for naught, as Jurassic World 2 executive producer Colin Trevorrow made this cheeky acknowledgment of Howard's character's shoe choice on his Twitter today. Look, speaking anecdotally, I've seen women achieve unbelievable speeds across New York cobblestones in heels taller than certain dog breeds. So I have zero doubt that, if Howard's character wanted to, she could perform a full floor routine in the Olympics while wearing stilettos. But as someone that values verisimilitude in my movies that are about giant dinosaurs achieving sentience and slaughtering amusement park guests, I'm happy she'll be fleeing in a pair of boots this time. | 76,166 | [

2016-10-03 02:10:00 | Kim Kardashian West has attended Paris Fashion Week several times in the past, but she’s never experienced one quite like this. The 35-year-old reality star was held at gunpoint Sunday evening in her Paris hotel room by masked men dressed as police. “She is badly shaken but physically unharmed,” her rep told PEOPLE. Kardashian West’s mother Kris Jenner and sisters Kourtney Kardashian and Kendall Jenner are also in Paris. Her children, North, 3, and Saint, 9 months, were not involved in the incident, PEOPLE confirms. Her husband Kanye West abruptly ended his set at the Meadows Music & Arts Festival in New York City due to a “family emergency.” Here’s a full timeline of events that led up to Kardashian West’s terrifying situation inside her Paris hotel room: Kim Arrives in the City of Light After Flying in from New York City
Kardashian West chatted with Andy Cohen at the Girls’ Lounge conference during Advertising Week 2016 at Pier 60 on Sept. 27. Following her speaking engagement, she Snapchatted herself boarding a private plane. Kim Narrowly Escapes Vitalii Sediuk’s Attempted Ambush
The Keeping Up with the Kardashians star stepped out for lunch at L’Avenue restaurant on Sept. 28. She thwarted an attack from Vitalii Sediuk, the same assailant who grabbed Gigi Hadid from behind during Milan Fashion Week. Kardashian West’s bodyguard Pascal Duvier and executive assistant Stephanie Sheppard slammed Sediuk to the ground. The reality star reportedly filed a complaint against the celebrity prankster. After the incident, she shared a topless “Parisian Vibes” photo on social media. The Paris Fashion Week Shows Begin
Kim, Kanye, Kourtney, Kris and her boyfriend Corey Gamble support their friend Virgil Abloh at his Off-White show on Sept. 29. Soon after, the group (minus Kanye) sat front row wearing next to nothing at the Balmain Spring/Summer 2017 show. Later that night, Kanye joined the Kardashian trio at the star-studded Balmain afterparty at Loulou’s restaurant. Casual (But Still Stylish) Night Out
Kim and her entourage donned head-to-toe monochromatic ensembles for dinner at the Ritz Hotel on Sept. 30 with model Jasmine Sanders. A Little Naomi and Alaïa
On Oct. 1, Kim and Naomi Campbell whipped their long manes while shopping at the Hermés and Fendi stores. Later in the evening, the Kimoji entrepreneur celebrated Kendall’s arrival with dinner at Kinu restaurant. Au Naturel at PFW
A makeup-free Kim was a front row fixture once again, this time at the Balenciaga show on Sunday, Oct. 2. Hours later, she and Kourtney watched as Kendall walked in the Givenchy show. The Incident
Just hours before being held at gunpoint, Kim attended an Alaïa dinner. According to BFM TV, Kardashian West was staying at the No Address Hotel when five men entered her room around 2:30 a.m. Monday morning. One of her last Snapchats before the incident was a FaceTime call with future sister-in-law Blac Chyna, who was celebrating her baby shower in Los Angeles. | 44,158 | [

2019-07-23 | After raising its revenue forecast Tuesday, Coca-Cola is feeling positive heading into the second half of 2019 as concerns about economic uncertainty wane. "We saw some clouds on the horizon, too," CEO James Quincey said on CNBC's "Squawk on the Street. " "But the storm never arrived, so by sticking to our plan, by executing against our strategy, we've been able to deliver stronger momentum than even we were expecting." Shares of the beverage giant were up 5% in morning trading after the company raised its revenue forecast following its second-quarter earnings topping estimates. Coke now expects organic revenue growth of 5% rather than 4%. Last quarter, Coke also beat Wall Street's expectations, but the Atlanta-based company did not raise its full-year forecast amid uncertainty about trade and other macroeconomic conditions. Quincey said "the clouds" are still present even though the company is feeling more optimistic about the second half of the year. After Coke reported its second-quarter earnings, the International Monetary Fund once again lowered its forecast for global economic growth. The company did not raise its outlook for its fiscal 2019 earnings; instead it reiterated its forecast that earnings per share could fall or rise by 1%. When Coke first shared its full-year outlook, executives said currency fluctuations, Fed rate hikes and changing tax rates were all weighing on its projections. CFO John Murphy said Tuesday on the conference call that the company foresees a more "benign" currency environment in 2020. | 36,891 | [

2017-07-02 10:05:48 | SEOUL, South Korea — Phillip Clay was adopted at 8 into an American family in Philadelphia. Twenty-nine years later, in 2012, after numerous arrests and a struggle with drug addiction, he was deported back to his birth country, South Korea. He could not speak the local language, did not know a single person and did not receive appropriate care for mental health problems, which included bipolar disorder and alcohol and substance abuse. On May 21, Mr. Clay ended his life, jumping from the 14th floor of an apartment building north of Seoul. He was 42. To advocates of the rights of international adoptees, the suicide was a wrenching reminder of a problem the United States urgently needed to address: adoptees from abroad who never obtained American citizenship. The Adoptee Rights Campaign, an advocacy group, estimates that 35,000 adult adoptees in the United States may lack citizenship, which was not granted automatically in the adoption process before 2000. Mr. Clay is believed to be just one of dozens of people, legally adopted as children into American families, who either have been deported to the birth countries they left decades ago or face deportation after being convicted of crimes as adults. Some did not even know they were not American citizens until they were ordered to leave. Adoptees from other countries, like Vietnam, Thailand and Brazil, have faced deportation. But the sheer number of children adopted from South Korea, once a leading source of children put up for adoption abroad, has made it the most visible example of the issue, and of the enormous challenges returnees face as they try to once again navigate a foreign culture, this time with little or no assistance. Many have nowhere to go, often living on the streets. In South Korea, one deportee served a prison term for robbing a bank with a toy gun. Another, who like Mr. Clay had mental health problems, has been indicted twice on assault charges. “Deportation is like the death sentence to them,” said Hellen Ko, a chief counselor at the government-run Korea Adoption Services, who monitored Mr. Clay as a caseworker. “They had a hard time adjusting to life in America. It gets even harder for them when they return here.” The government here does not know how many of the 110,000 South Korean children adopted into American families since the 1950s have been deported. When the United States deports Koreans, it does not tell Seoul if they are adoptees. At least six cases have been documented, though, and officials here say that they have been unable to determine the citizenship status of 18,000 Korean adoptees in the United States. Once back in their birth country, they are on their own and often go undocumented. “All I had was $20 on me; I didn’t know where I was,” Monte Haines said, recalling the day he landed at Seoul’s gateway airport after being deported in 2009, more than 30 years after an American family adopted him. “There was nobody there to talk to.” Americans have adopted more than 350,000 children from abroad since the 1940s, according to the Adoptee Rights Campaign, and the United States left it to the parents to secure citizenship for the children. But some did not understand that their children did not automatically become citizens when they completed the adoption. Other adoptees have said that their parents were put off by the cost and paperwork of the citizenship process, or that they essentially abandoned them. In 2000, Congress passed the Child Citizenship Act, which granted automatic citizenship to children adopted by United States citizens. But the law did not retroactively benefit adoptees who were already legal adults. This omission left adult adoptees with criminal records but not citizenship, like Mr. Clay and Mr. Haines, vulnerable to deportation as America has become increasingly aggressive in pursuing illegal immigrants in recent years. Immigration law allows the federal government to deport noncitizen immigrants found guilty of a wide range of “aggravated felonies,” which include battery, forged checks and selling drugs. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, was unable to say how many adoptees without citizenship had been deported. The New York Times Magazine reported in 2015 that at least three dozen international adoptees had faced deportation charges or had been deported. With President Trump pledging to increase deportations, adoption advocates fear that the number will climb, with devastating consequences for those deported. “As a child, I didn’t ask to be sent to the United States. I didn’t ask to learn the English language. I didn’t ask to be a culturalized American,” said Adam Crapser, who was deported to South Korea last year, at age 41, after 38 years in the United States. “And now I was forced back to Korea, and I lost my American family.” Mr. Crapser, who left behind a wife and three daughters in the United States, was abandoned by his first adoptive parents and abused by his second. He accumulated a criminal record over the years, including a conviction on burglary charges. But in recent years, he had begun turning his life around and applied for a green card in 2012. That triggered a background check, leading to the deportation proceedings that flipped his life upside down. “They waited until I had a family, and they waited until I had children,” he said. “They waited until I had something to lose.” Mr. Crapser, who had never traveled abroad while living in the United States, said he “could not read a sign” when he landed at Incheon Airport outside Seoul. Korean faces and the language swirling around him came as “a complete shock,” he said. His deportation put a strain on his relationship with his wife in the United States, and he has not seen his daughters in 15 months. Living out of suitcases in a tiny studio in Seoul, Mr. Crapser said that he struggled to keep himself busy to fight depression and that his job opportunities were extremely limited. “The language is the biggest barrier because of how late I came back here to Korea,” he said. Mr. Haines, another South Korea-born deportee, said he could barely pay his rent and buy food with the $5 an hour he earned as a bartender in Seoul. “I have been here for eight and a half years, and I am still having a hard time to survive,” he said. South Korea has begun devising post-adoption services in recent years, as more adoptees have returned. But returnees like Mr. Clay suffered an added obstacle in their birth country, where a cultural stigma against mental illness made it difficult for them to get proper care. Mr. Clay, also known by his Korean name, Kim Sang-pil, was found abandoned in Seoul in 1981, according to Holt Children’s Services, the adoption agency that sent him to the United States. His first adoption into an American family in 1983 did not work out. He was placed with another family in Philadelphia a year later. Reached by email, his American father, Joseph Clay, declined to answer questions for this article. ICE said Mr. Clay had been deported after “accumulating a lengthy criminal history dating back nearly two decades — the most serious of which included criminal convictions for robbery and multiple theft and drug-related offenses.” Holt also said it had learned from Mr. Clay’s American family that he had been in and out of mental hospitals. Back in South Korea, Mr. Clay also lived his life going in and out of mental clinics and being shunted back and forth among social agencies like Holt and the Korea Adoption Services. None of them, critics said, provided him with the assistance he needed. A 2014 medical record from a South Korean hospital showed that he had been given a diagnosis of bipolar affective disorder. In January, Mr. Clay drank paint thinner and was hospitalized. But mental clinics often did not want him because they did not have an English-speaking staff. “He said he wanted to die,” said Ms. Ko, his caseworker. “He said there was nothing he could do in South Korea.” South Korea sent a delegation to the United States Congress this spring to appeal for support for the Adoptee Citizenship Act, a proposed law that would give citizenship to anyone adopted before turning 18, regardless of how long ago the adoption took place. The bill stalled in Congress during the election last year, but advocates are campaigning to reintroduce it. After Mr. Clay’s death, South Korean government officials said they were discussing better protection for deportees. But Mr. Crapser, who believes he should have automatically become a naturalized American citizen, said South Korea should “stand up to the United States and say ‘no’ ” when it deports adoptees sent over decades ago with an understanding that they would become American citizens. Instead, South Korea expected the returnees to “be able to act, behave, work, speak, everything like a native Korean,” he said. “It’s impossible.” | 78,908 | [

2016-08-01 | COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — The pitch to donors was optimistic: a discussion about “a brighter future for the country,” hosted by Charles and David Koch’s expansive political network, at a scenic mountain resort. But, like everything else, part of the weekend ended up being about Donald Trump. In his remarks to donors, Charles Koch repeatedly said this weekend that the network will back neither the Republican nominee, nor Hillary Clinton, disappointing a small but vocal minority of the 400 donors who hoped Koch — and the brothers’ political network — would ultimately back Trump. In response, network officials and Charles Koch gave a presentation to donors Saturday morning in a private meeting on why the group wasn't backing Trump, according to several donors. They also made the case for their decision to focus on Senate races instead of playing in the presidential — a dramatic change from the 2012 presidential election when the network spent millions on behalf of Mitt Romney. "They made a very good presentation about why it would not make sense for them to get involved," said Stan Hubbard, a major donor who is involved with a pro-Trump super PAC, in an interview with BuzzFeed News. "They don't want to take away from (the Senate) effort. That was reasonable. They did a lot of careful analysis. They sold me." Hubbard said despite the divisions within the network, the donors who are supporting Trump are satisfied with group's approach and won't leave the network based on the decision to stay out of the presidential — a concern that some have expressed. "Everybody was satisfied," he said. "I don't see anybody complaining about anything." Doug Deason, another pro-Trump donor from Texas, said he's not upset about the network's decision to sit out but still wants Charles Koch to meet with Trump to share his policy positions. "We just want Charles and Trump to meet," he said. "If (Koch) can just introduce a little bit of his policy, that would be great." Koch’s aides have previously met with the Trump team, but there has not been a follow up. Fred Klipsh, an Indiana donor who is close to the GOP vice presidential nominee Mike Pence, said he didn't make any personal pitches to donors to get on board with the ticket, but he thinks some could change their minds in the coming weeks. "(Pence) is loved by this organization and is highly respected… Between now and the election, the more they talk about policy and a positive campaign, there's every opportunity for (donors) to change their minds,” he said in an interview. Many donors also made the point that those who wanted to get more involved on the presidential level could give to other groups instead of pushing the Koch network. "I compare it to a shoe store — you don't try to buy a dress there," said Frayda Levin, another donor who is active in some of the network groups. BuzzFeed News was one of 11 news organizations to accept an invitation to cover the event after agreeing to a set of ground rules proposed by the Kochs’ political network, including not identifying the donors attending unless they agreed to an interview. In their explanation, network officials told donors they were making the best use of the group's resources by shifting the focus down to the Senate level because it was the logical choice, looking at the policy positions of the candidates and Trump's chances of winning. "They talked to us today about their reasoning and it was impeccable," said Jim Von Ehr, a Texas donor and founder and chairman of Zyvex Technologies. "They made the point that we have to agree on some principles and candidates who support those principles, and if they lose their principles, they lose our support." Donors met at the Broadmoor on the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, as Trump continued to make controversial statements about the parents of a Muslim-American soldier who died in the Iraq War. "It absolutely makes it harder" to back Trump, said Chart Wescott, a Texas donor, referring to those comments. Wescott said he will make a "gametime decision" on who he decides to vote for, but didn’t think the comments were a nonstarter for others. "On the contrary, many donors are willing to look past that." Barry Farah, a Colorado donor who said he will vote for Trump but not support him financially — a position many network donors have taken — also brought up those comments. But he said at the end of the day, Hillary Clinton “would be a worse candidate than somebody who tweets in the way that isn't always dignified." Some donors also brought up Libertarian Party nominee Gary Johnson as a candidate they were considering supporting. One of those donors Chris Wright of Colorado, who is CEO of an energy company, called Johnson the most freedom-oriented presidential candidate running this election. Although his son has contributed to Johnson, he's not fully sold yet. "I'm not sure. At the end of the day in politics, it's a very practical game." "But we want to help grow the cause of freedom." | 80,750 | [

2016-04-26 00:00:00 | All mobile phones sold in India will be required to have a panic button as of next year, the country's telecommunications ministry announced this week, as part of an effort to enhance safety for women. As Bloomberg reports, the order requires handset makers to implement an emergency feature that could be activated by holding down the numbers 5 or 9 on a keypad. The function will be mandatory on all phones by January 1st, 2017, while GPS navigation systems will be mandatory on all devices by 2018. Women's safety in India has drawn worldwide attention following reports of gang rapes and other forms of violence. There were more than 330,000 reported cases of violence against women in 2014, according to government statistics, up 9 percent from the previous year. The issue has spurred some companies to develop apps and services that make it easier for women to contact emergency services. India's minister for women and child development, Maneka Gandhi, pushed for mandated panic buttons last year. "Technology is solely meant to make human life better and what better than using it for the security of women," Communications Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad said in a statement. It's not yet clear which emergency services would be contacted through the new panic button feature. India has no national, 911-type system, but instead has four different numbers for various services. Last month, officials said that a centralized emergency number, 112, would be introduced this year. | 113,004 | [

2019-06-13 13:48:27 | HONG KONG — Hong Kong’s security forces faced widespread criticism on Thursday over the tear gas and rubber bullets that local police used a day earlier to suppress tens of thousands of people demonstrating against an unpopular bill that would allow extraditions to mainland China. Criticism of the security force’s measures came swiftly, and raised the political cost for Carrie Lam, chief executive of Hong Kong, who firmly supports the bill. Debate on the legislation, which had been postponed from Wednesday to Thursday, was again postponed for at least two more days. Videos of the protests in which officers appear to be using excessive force circulated widely across social media, and the police action was condemned by pro-democracy activists, human rights groups and opposition lawmakers. Footage of unarmed protesters fleeing like ants from clouds of tear gas or facing off with riot police officers pointing batons at them was broadcast around the world, an unfamiliar sight in the wealthy Asian financial hub famed for its glitzy skyscrapers. Even a number of former senior officials joined in criticizing the police actions, as well as the bill. Joseph Wong, a former civil service secretary, told a local broadcaster that Mrs. Lam’s decision to push ahead with the measure despite such strong opposition was “nothing short of a dictator’s act,” and called for an independent review of the police’s use of force. The Hong Kong police chief defended his officers, saying they were mostly restrained but had to respond with force when some protesters tried to storm the Legislative Council. Instead of pushing back the small group of demonstrators, however, officers appeared determined to use tear gas and rubber bullets over the vast majority of protesters in order to clear the roads around the building that they had occupied. On Thursday, tensions had eased, though the police physically prevented a group of pro-democracy lawmakers from completing a symbolic protest march toward Mrs. Lam’s residence. Some of the lawmakers lamented that their hometown, normally a peaceful haven for bankers, lawyers and traders, had begun to feel like a police state. “Hong Kong is fast becoming just like any Chinese city,” said Claudia Mo, one of the pro-democracy lawmakers, during an interview at the Legislative Council before the walk began. “The police attitude is rather like what happened on Tiananmen Square 30 years ago.” Further protests are planned for Sunday. Tempers are running high across Hong Kong in part because some see the fight against the bill as a last stand of sorts against a significant erosion of the civil liberties that set this territory apart from the rest of China. “The survival of the city is at stake,” Lee Cheuk-yan, a veteran activist and former lawmaker who helped to organize the march last weekend, said on Thursday. He also called on schools, shops and workers to go on strike on Monday, after Sunday’s protests, in another effort to stop the bill from passing. On Wednesday, the founder of a smartphone messaging app, Telegram, said his service had been attacked during the protests, likely by China’s government. The report of the hack came a day after the Hong Kong police arrested a 22-year-old protest organizer who was the administrator for a group being used to coordinate thousands of demonstrators. The extradition bill would allow Hong Kong to detain and transfer people wanted in countries and territories with which it has no formal extradition agreements, including the Chinese mainland. The bill is widely expected to eventually pass because a pro-Beijing political faction controls the Legislative Council. Lawyers’ associations, rights organizations, opposition lawmakers and even foreign governments have said they worry that the bill would break down a firewall between Hong Kong’s legal system and the courts in mainland China, which are answerable to the ruling Communist Party. They say it would also further diminish the “high degree of autonomy” that was promised under the “one country, two systems” arrangement that was established when the British handed over Hong Kong to China in 1997. In pushing the extradition bill, Mrs. Lam has tried to distance herself from Beijing, saying the law would address a legal loophole urgently needed to ensure that a Hong Kong man accused of killing his girlfriend in Taiwan last year does not go free. Anger over the extradition bill has been brewing for months. In May, pandemonium broke out in the Legislative Council when opposition and pro-Beijing lawmakers clashed over it. Discussions became so heated that one lawmaker was carried out of the chamber on a stretcher. The outpouring of opposition by ordinary Hong Kongers began in earnest last weekend, when as many as one million people marched against the bill and China’s growing influence in the territory. On Wednesday, tens of thousands of demonstrators opposed to the bill surrounded the Legislative Council building and prevented lawmakers from meeting as scheduled to move the bill toward a vote next week. When some protesters charged the police as they tried to enter the building, riot control officers opened fire with rubber bullets and tear gas, casting a smoky pall over downtown. The government later said 81 people had been injured. Mrs. Lam, who was selected by China’s leaders to govern Hong Kong two years ago, stood firm on Wednesday against what she called an “organized riot.” But her comments only further inflamed her critics. One of them, the pro-democracy lawmaker Charles Mok, said on Thursday that by having police officers clear the protesters with such force, Mrs. Lam had effectively used them to solve a political problem. “The only riot problem is the riot police,” Mr. Mok said. As Mr. Mok spoke, signs of open dissent against Mrs. Lam were emerging in some corners of the city’s political establishment. The night before, for example, 200 members of the nearly-1,200-member Election Committee, the body that anoints the territory’s chief executive, had published an open letter calling on Mrs. Lam to resign. “We believe that Carrie Lam has lost political legitimacy and must step down,” the letter said. “A new chief executive should be elected instead.” Many legal analysts say the legislation was a rushed job. When the Hong Kong government proposes an amendment to existing laws it must go through three readings, the first of which is simply a formality. The extradition bill had its first reading in April and under normal circumstances, a committee would have been set up to discuss the spirit of the bill and other legal concerns. But the Hong Kong government chose to skip that step and head straight to a second reading, initially planned for Wednesday. The president of the Legislative Council has the power to dictate when and how long lawmakers can debate a proposed law before its third and final reading. Andrew Leung, the current president, allocated only 61 hours of debate for the law, which based on the original Wednesday schedule, would have meant that a vote on the law would have been held next Thursday. This is an unusually short period of time for debating a bill that has caused much consternation, said Kenneth Chan, an associate professor and director of the Comparative Governance and Policy Research Center at Hong Kong Baptist University. “Procedurally it was wrong given the controversy involved,” Mr. Chan said. “The government should actually re-engage the people.” The government set aside 20 days for a public consultation before moving the extradition bill to the legislature. Other bills routinely get more time. In April, for example, the government began a consultation on proposals for enhancing animal welfare. It allocated three months. | 41,757 | [

Giuliani maintained in an interview Saturday night with CNN that he had not spoken with investigators representing federal prosecutors, and questioned why the existence of such a probe had been leaked to The New York Times. "Nothing but leaks, which has to tell you whether they are or are not investigating, it's a political attack. Otherwise, why leak it?" Giuliani asked. "If it's an appropriate law enforcement investigation, you try to keep it secret so the subjects aren't alerted." Giuliani's comments come as President Trump confirmed Saturday evening that Giuliani remains a member of his legal team following the Times report this week revealing that Manhattan-based federal prosecutors are investigating his run-around of a State Department official to persuade Ukraine's president to open an investigation into former Vice President Joe BidenJoe BidenTrump says he doesn't want NYT in the White House Warren to protest with striking Chicago teachers Schiff punches back after GOP censure resolution fails MORE (D). Giuliani and Trump's efforts to spur such an investigation into Biden are now central to an impeachment inquiry opened by House Democrats, with which Giuliani and other White House officials have refused to cooperate. Two associates of the former New York City mayor involved in his Ukraine efforts were also arrested this week and accused of running a scheme to funnel hundreds of thousands of dollars in illegal campaign contributions to Republican candidates and Trump-aligned groups.

2018-06-12 | (CNN)On Tuesday afternoon, en route back from a summit in Singapore with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, President Donald Trump took to Twitter to offer some endorsements. "Mark Sanford has been very unhelpful to me in my campaign to MAGA," Trump tweeted about the race in South Carolina's 1st District. "He is MIA and nothing but trouble. He is better off in Argentina. I fully endorse Katie Arrington for Congress in SC, a state I love. She is tough on crime and will continue our fight to lower taxes. VOTE Katie!" And another: "I strongly endorse Adam Laxalt for Governor of Nevada. Adam is smart, works hard, and knows how to win. He will be a great Governor. Also, will fight hard to lower your taxes and is tough on crime!" What's odd about these endorsements? The primaries in South Carolina and Nevada are today! Polls close in South Carolina at 7 p.m. Eastern! (And at 10 p.m. Eastern in Nevada.) In short, Trump is giving people hours -- at most -- to be influenced by his endorsement. (And that doesn't count voters in South Carolina who voted absentee and the 178,000 who voted early in Nevada.) So why do it? When it comes to Trump, it's hard to know. But here are my potential explanations: He just wants to be on the record for/against people. And particularly in the case of Sanford, Trump wants to get back at someone who has said bad things about him. (If/when Laxalt and/or Arrington win.)This was the only time he could do it. Trump has been in Quebec and then Singapore steadily since last Friday. This may be the first time he sat down and thought about it. (I doubt this explanation because, well, Twitter is 24/7.)He's playing the long-ish game -- particularly as it relates to South Carolina. Sanford has two challengers, meaning that it's possible he could finish first today but with less than 50% -- meaning a runoff likely against Arrington. If that came to pass, a Trump endorsement could actually make a difference. Which is it? Some part of more than one of these options? None? The Point: Trump's political instincts are quite good. His political know-how is often less, um, good. He's also a creature of instinct -- which sometimes works for him and sometimes works against him.

2017-03-20 | DIYARBAKIR, Turkey (Reuters) - Thronged with shoppers and men sipping tea on a warm day in early spring, the main streets of Turkey’s Diyarbakir show few signs of the devastation wrought by months of fighting last year between Kurdish militants and security forces. But nearby in Sur, the historic district that saw some of the worst violence, the narrow back alleys simmer with anger. Many residents blame both the state and Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) militants. How voters in Sur and across the largely Kurdish southeast view the 33-year-old conflict could shape the outcome of an April referendum intended to give President Tayyip Erdogan sweeping new powers. In a close race, pollsters say Kurdish voters, about a fifth of the electorate, could tip the balance. One resident, Serkan, gestures toward bombed-out buildings and fields of rubble. “Our homes, our memories and our past have been erased, and both sides are to blame for that,” he says. A 2-1/2-year ceasefire between the government and the PKK broke down in July 2015, pitching the southeast into the worst violence in decades. During the months of security operations that followed, about 2,000 people were killed and up to a half a million displaced, the United Nations has estimated. Diyarbakir is seen by many of Turkey’s 15 million Kurds as their cultural capital, and Sur is the warren of streets in its ancient heart, encircled by towering Roman-era basalt walls. When tanks bulldozed their way in to root out PKK militants who had excavated trenches and laid explosives, tens of thousands of residents had to leave. “They should not have dug trenches and set up barricades and rebelled against the state like that. But then the state responded excessively and burned and destroyed,” said Serkan, declining to give his surname for fear of retribution. The Islamist Kurdish party he supports, Huda Par, backs “Yes” in the referendum, but Serkan says he’s not sure he can. Turkey’s main Kurdish-rooted party, the Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP), says a “Yes” vote will increase the grip on power of an authoritarian leader bent on stifling dissent. Thousands of HDP members, including its leaders, have been jailed on terrorism charges, dealing a major blow to its campaigning abilities. Erdogan accuses the HDP itself of supporting terrorism. The party denies direct links to the PKK, seen as a terrorist organization by Europe, the United States and Turkey. Pollsters say about a fifth of Kurds, or 4 percent of the electorate, are undecided about how to vote. Recent national opinion polls are mixed - some putting either camp as high as 57 percent. Most indicate a high level of undecided voters. “Whoever can convince the undecided Kurds will come out on top,” said Faruk Acar, president of the polling firm Andy-Ar. Erdogan and his millions of supporters say Turkey needs a strong presidency to avoid the fragile coalition governments of the past. His critics cite the arrest, dismissal or suspension of more than 100,000 teachers, civil servants, soldiers, judges and journalists in the wake of a failed coup last year as evidence of his authoritarian instincts. While the HDP has strong backing in Kurdish areas - taking more than 6 million votes, or 13 percent of the nationwide total, in the June 2015 parliamentary election, and nearly 80 percent of votes in Diyarbakir - Erdogan remains popular among some right-leaning Kurds. “Kurdish voters are not monolithic and their political loyalties span the ideological spectrum,” said Aaron Stein, a senior fellow at the Atlantic Council think-tank. In the village of Gecitli, 80 km (50 miles) west of Diyarbakir, Mustafa Celik, 43, has named his newborn girl “Evet” (“Yes”) to show his gratitude to Erdogan for easing or scrapping long-standing cultural restrictions. “We can now speak Kurdish. There are TV stations in Kurdish,” said the 43-year-old, sitting beside a pink cradle where his daughter lay asleep. “That’s all his doing.” Erdogan later launched peace talks with the PKK, a first for a Turkish leader. But since the ceasefire collapsed, he has ruled out a return to the negotiating table, saying security forces will “annihilate” militants. That has boosted his support among nationalists, but also some Kurds. “As long as we have the Turkish flag above us, we need no other flag or state,” said Mehfahir Ogulcum, a Kurdish volunteer village guard drinking tea outside a military post in rural Kulp, 140 km northeast of Diyarbakir. After the PKK took up arms against the state in 1984, Turkey started hiring villagers in the southeast to fight alongside the army and help it navigate the local terrain, a move that sowed division among Kurds. The government for its part has promised to put money into redeveloping the southeast, where the scars of conflict are all too visible. In most parts of Sur, the curfews have now been lifted, but many homes remain unusable. In Cizre, a largely Kurdish town bordering Syria, buildings are riddled with bullet holes, their windows shattered. In the crackdown that followed last year’s failed coup, dozens of Kurdish journalists were detained and numerous Kurdish media outlets shut. HDP lawmaker Osman Baydemir said this was enough reason to vote “No” in the referendum. “We trust the conscience of the people,” he said. “The fact that the TV channels are off-limits to us, that our party officials are arrested and our leaders are in jail resonates with our people.” Some in Diyarbakir accuse the HDP of failing to stand up to the PKK when fighting escalated. Others say it should take a harder line against the government. But frustration with the HDP is unlikely to translate into support for Erdogan. “Those who leave the HDP do not automatically come to the AK Party,” said Acar, the pollster. For many Kurds, like Huseyin Calis, whose home of 53 years was destroyed by fighting in Sur, the choice is clear. “It is mostly the state’s fault,” said the 76-year-old, sitting in the living room of a relative’s flat. “We are heartbroken with the HDP too. But our people still can’t bring themselves to vote ‘Yes’ ... I say ‘No’, until the end.” Additional reporting by Gulsen Solaker in Ankara; Editing by David Dolan and Kevin Liffey | 80,878 | [

2018-01-10 00:00:00 | Almost 4,000 planets have been discovered outside of our solar system — some of which might be habitable. A series of upcoming missions could add tens of thousands more planets to that list, starting “a whole new era of exoplanet opportunities,” according to MIT astronomer Sara Seagar, who spoke on the topic at the winter meeting of the American Astronomical Society. The mission: The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite, or TESS, is set to launch into orbit around Earth in March. Its wide-angle cameras will, over the course of two years, photograph almost 85% of the sky in order to detect the brief dips of light caused by a planet passing in front of a star. The database it creates will guide missions for decades to come. NASA's Kepler missions found most of the planets discovered so far. Kepler was designed to figure out how many planets were in one small part of the sky so researchers could estimate how many there may be in total. It looked at 0.25% of the sky, but peered as far at 3000 light years away. What's new: TESS will look at almost all of the sky, but it will focus on stars that neighbor our solar system and could be studied with future telescopes. Coincidentally, most of the stars close to us are small, cold so-called M dwarf stars. It’s easier to look for habitable planets around M dwarfs because any planets capable of supporting life will need to be closer to the stars. That means that when the planet passes in front of the star, it’ll block out a larger, more detectable region of light. Additionally, those planets will take less time to orbit their stars, meaning we’ll have more opportunities to catch them passing by. What’s next: More than 140 non-NASA proposals to use TESS's capabilities were also submitted, and roughly 1 in 4 will be selected in a few months. They’ll look at planets in the solar system, planets outside of it, and even galaxies. Additionally, researchers will select 50 targets out of the massive catalogue of stars and planets TESS will create. These planets will likely be close in size to Earth, and considered the best candidates for possibly supporting life. The James Webb Space Telescope, which is scheduled to launch about a year after TESS starts gathering data, will take a closer look at those planets to learn more about their composition and atmosphere. | 82,409 | [

2017-08-09 11:42:38 | WASHINGTON — President Trump’s aides knew he planned to deliver a tough message to North Korea on Tuesday, but they did not expect a threat that rivaled the apocalyptic taunts often used by his target, Kim Jong-un. The president’s language, which aides say he had used in private, escalated the long-running dispute with North Korea to a new level and left members of the Trump administration scrambling on Wednesday to explain what he meant. But the process, or lack of one, that led to the ad-libbed comments embodied Mr. Trump’s overall approach to foreign policy, an improvisational style that often leaves his national security team in the dark about what he is going to say or do, according to several people with direct knowledge of how the episode unfolded. The president was in a confrontational mood on Tuesday afternoon after The Washington Post reported that Pyongyang had developed nuclear warheads small enough to be placed on ballistic missiles. His team assumed that he would be asked about North Korea during a scheduled media appearance tied to a meeting the president was planning to hold at his golf club in Bedminster, N.J., about the opioid epidemic. But during a conference call beforehand that focused on North Korea, Mr. Trump did not offer a preview of what he planned to say — and aides did not press the president, who resists being told what to say, even on a tinderbox issue that has induced his predecessors to seek the safety of a script. He told his aides only that he wanted to signal to Mr. Kim, the North Korean leader, that he was not backing down — while turning up the pressure he has tried to place on China to tame its troublesome neighbor and on-and-off ally. Mr. Trump’s aides braced as he began to speak at the opioid event — his arms folded, jaw set and eyes flitting on what appeared to be a single page of talking points set before him on the conference table where he was sitting. The piece of paper, as it turned out, was a fact sheet on the opioid crisis. “North Korea best not make any more threats to the United States,” Mr. Trump told reporters in remarks aired on television and broadcast around the globe. “They will be met with fire and fury like the world has never seen.” Sarah Huckabee Sanders, the White House press secretary, said Mr. Trump’s national security team was “well aware of the tone of the statement of the president prior to delivery.” “The tone and strength of the message were discussed beforehand,” she said. The words he used, she added, “were his own.” And they revealed what some longtime associates of Mr. Trump say is a simmering frustration with the velvet handcuffs slapped on him by John F. Kelly, his new White House chief of staff, who has cracked down on walk-in visitors to the Oval Office and keeps tabs on some of the president’s after-hours phone calls to ensure that he is not being fed bad information or reckless advice. Mr. Trump has embraced the new, more disciplined approach of the former Marine general, but he has made it clear that he will not cede control of what he says or tweets to anybody. If nothing else, Tuesday’s statement proved that he cannot be muzzled by his staff or decorous diplomatic protocol. The president, people close to him say, believes he has a better feel for Mr. Kim than his advisers do. He thinks of Mr. Kim as someone used to pushing people around, and Mr. Trump thinks he needs to show that he cannot be pushed. The episode also reflects an evolving and unsettled approach to one of the world’s most dangerous hot spots as Mr. Trump and his team debate diplomatic, economic and military options, none of them particularly attractive. The president’s aides are divided on North Korea, as on other issues, with national security veterans like Defense Secretary Jim Mattis and Lt. Gen. H. R. McMaster, the national security adviser, on one side and Stephen K. Bannon, the president’s chief strategist, and his allies on the other. While General McMaster and Mr. Mattis consider North Korea a pre-eminent threat that requires a tough response, Mr. Bannon and others in the nationalist wing argue that it is really just a subset of the administration’s conflict with China and that Mr. Trump should not give more prominence to an unstable rogue operator like Mr. Kim. In the North Korea debate, like a similar one over Afghanistan, Mr. Bannon has been arguing against what his side considers the overly aggressive approach of the “war party” of General McMaster. While Mr. Bannon has his own channel to the president, he has been shut out of most formal discussions of North Korea by the national security team. But neither camp, the hawks or doves, advocated language like “fire and fury,” according to the people involved. Among those taken by surprise, they said, was Mr. Kelly, who has accompanied the president on his working vacation. The “fire and fury,” line, which echoed biblical passages and President Harry S. Truman’s statement after the United States dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima, Japan, in 1945, was Mr. Trump’s idea — despite similarities to the end-of-days style of his chief speechwriter, Stephen Miller, people with knowledge of the situation said. Mr. Trump has used the phrase repeatedly in private to express his anger at North Korea’s pursuit of nuclear weapons — one of the few public policy problems he has been focused on since his prepolitical days in the 1990s. After his comments on Tuesday, Mr. Trump headed into an hourlong meeting on opioids, but his national security team huddled to figure out how to proceed. Secretary of State Rex W. Tillerson, who has been trying to induce Pyongyang to negotiate, became the obvious choice to calm the waters, which he did during a refueling stop in Guam, the same island threatened by North Korea. Mr. Tillerson told reporters that “Americans should sleep well at night,” and that nothing indicated that relations with North Korea had “dramatically changed in the last 24 hours.” For his part, Mr. Trump seemed pleased with the uproar caused by his remarks, and was in good spirits on Wednesday. And some of his aides did not back off from the sharp language. “He’s saying don’t test America and don’t test Donald J. Trump,” Sebastian Gorka, a hard-line adviser and one of the president’s favorite surrogates, told Fox News on Wednesday. “We are not just the superpower. We were a superpower, we are now a hyperpower. Nobody in the world, especially not North Korea, comes close to challenging our military capabilities.” OpinionThe Editorial Board OpinionSusan E.

2020-03-13 00:00:00 | * SSEC -3.2%, CSI300 -3.5%, HSI -6.1% * Hong Kong shares set for worst day since 2008 * Yuan softer after surprisingly weak central bank fixing SHANGHAI, March 13 (Reuters) - Chinese shares and the yuan weakened on Friday amid a global market meltdown triggered by intensifying fears over the global spread of the coronavirus. The benchmark Shanghai Composite Index opened down 4.1% at its lowest level since Feb. 5 before trimming some losses. It was last down 3.2%, off nearly 10% from mid-January highs. Chinese blue-chip shares opened 4.6% lower, at their weakest point since Feb. 4, and were last down 3.5%. Shares in Hong Kong suffered steeper falls, with the Hang Seng Index down 6.1%, on track for its worst day since 2008 The yuan weakened after the People's Bank of China lowered its daily fixing for the yuan's trading band to the weaker side of the key 7 per dollar level for the first time in two weeks, at 7.0033 per dollar. That was 392 pips or 0.56% weaker than the previous fix of 6.9641, the biggest one-day weakening in percentage terms since Feb. 4, and much weaker than market expectations. Traders and analysts said the weak fixing could be a sign that the central bank might allow some yuan weakness for now. In the spot market, the onshore yuan opened at 7.0300 per dollar and was changing hands at 7.0261 as of 0150 GMT. Chinese 10-year government bond futures were stable amid the market ructions, with the most-traded contract, for June delivery easing 0.05% to 101.425.

2016-06-21 12:45:00 | The most striking aspect of the multiplayer first-person combat video game Overwatch isn’t how it plays or how this competitive shooter has quickly gained a 10-million-player-strong fanbase: it’s the look of the game. The landscapes, character designs, and color palette of Overwatch drip with personality. Set 60 years into the future, Overwatch tasks players with taking on the role of one of 21 heroes, each with their own incredible abilities. From a talking scientist-gorilla, to a Russian soldier with a beam cannon, to a jetpack-clad member of the Egyptian army, the cast of characters players can choose is wonderfully diverse. Produced by Blizzard Entertainment, the game also strives for diversity in gender, sexual orientation, and body type—an admittedly progressive notion for a big-budget video game. Bill Petras, art director of Overwatch, and Overwatch character-concept artist Arnold Tsang are two of the principle players behind the game's unique visual appeal. Speaking to The Creators Project, Petras describes the role of an art director as taking leadership in deciding the 'feel' of a game. “One of the main jobs that we do as art directors is have a vision for what the game looks like, of what the heroes look like, the feeling of the animation, the color palette, and the architecture of the buildings of the world.” And often that means putting ink to paper: “A lot of times the art directors themselves will do a painting of a concept to show a vision to the team. That’s step one.” Tsang adds that they’re also supposed to be a sort of cheerleader for the team. “Early on, our first job is to inspire and rally the team behind our vision. The development of the style guide is a huge first step in getting our feet on the ground for Overwatch.” Setting down the core of the game’s look is an incredibly important part of the early process. “After we had the core tenets in place,” says Tsang, “we worked with the engineers and some of the animators to start to realize that content and make visual targets that start to realize what we set out to do in the style guide. And we saw how things worked in the game engine, and how these characters moved and acted.” As for inspiration, both Petras and Tsang are inspired by comics, movies, early work in the Warcraft game series, and toys. But Petras adds, “I very much enjoy lighting and atmosphere. There are some early romantic paintings by Albert Bierstadt, from the Hudson River School: the painters from that era really inspire me.” Petras adds that there was a lot of pressure to balance a feeling of newness with the core values of the company. Values which included, “big, bold silhouettes on characters. Just having very dynamic proportions and shapes. Some of the other games we do, like World of Warcraft, they all have big silhouettes with bombastic characters. We wanted it to be bold, and beautiful, and colorful. We wanted it to be a world worth fighting for. And we wanted to have humor in there, to have fun.” Overwatch is out now for PC, Playstation 4, and XBOX One.

2017-05-05 18:25:00 | It feels like a new nail trend pops up every day. Some fads, like the furry manicure, are somewhat unrealistic for everyday wear. Others, like the geode look, are absolutely beautiful in theory but nearly impossible to DIY unless you have the time, patience, and correct tools. Well, there's a new craze in town — and this one is a keeper: rose quartz nails. They're oddly reminiscent of the days we'd fill up grab-bags of sparkly gemstones at museum gift shops (or was that just us?). Those shiny rocks were a status symbol, and the more you had, the cooler you were. We're calling this the manicure equivalent. Click through to see our favorite rose quartz manis, and let us know how you feel about the trend in the comments below. | 34,674 | [

2018-05-31 00:00:00 | Apple’s 2018 Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) is fast approaching, and, as usual, software will be the star of the show. iOS, macOS, watchOS, and tVOS will all get some upgrades and new features. Among those platforms, iOS 12 is the biggest, and the new features will have the most impact. Last year iOS 11 finally brought some much-needed improvements to the iPad for power users, like real multitasking and the Files app. Also, the iPhone's Control Center got a customizable design, and Apple went after Venmo. For iOS 12, Apple is rumored to be focusing more on stability, with feature releases staggered throughout the year. Still, there are plenty of feature upgrades we'd like to see. A concept of what notifications could look like in iOS 12. Notifications on iOS have fallen a bit behind the times, especially when you consider it's basically still just a list. It leads to a cluttered look when you swipe down to call up the Notification Center, but I believe Apple can fix this, and iOS 12 will hopefully give us the customization the feature needs. Imagine being able to group notifications by application, or the iPhone's AI serving up notifications that are most important to you first. Apple could even take a page out of Slack's book and allow users to set keywords for notifications. For instance if your name is mentioned in an app, it would take priority. At the very least, a fresh and more intuitive look for notifications would be a welcome feature in iOS 12. Dark Mode on iOS would be a simple way to make a plethora of users happy, myself included. With iOS 11, some users found that they could get a similar effect with Smart Invert, but it just isn't the same as a real Dark Mode. A Dark Mode would likely help with battery life (especially on the iPhone X since the pixels can be completely "off" in black areas) and offer a sleeker experience in many apps. It would mean a lot of apps getting manually redesigned for the new mode, but it would be worth it. Using FaceTime for group calls may soon be a reality. It’s been a while since FaceTime has gotten a substantial update, and it's been rumored to be arriving for a while. This year’s iOS update could finally bring Group Calls, a feature many have wanted for a long while. Considering other apps like Instagram and HouseParty have been able to deliver, it's time for Apple to step up. Another wish for FaceTime would be AR integration. For those who remember the old-school Photo Booth effects on the Mac, think of these getting a 2018 update that could work dynamically. Don't count on a taste of MacOS on your iPad. Last year, Apple introduced real multitasking with a dock on the iPad, along with a few gestures. Files was also born, which is the first true file-management system for iOS. Since then, power users are craving for more. It would be great if the iPad integrated some of the gestures from the iPhone X, such as the carousel swipe for apps. Integration with Workflow, an automation app that Apple has acquired, would be nice to see and open up new possibilities for completing tasks on the tablets. It would propel some new life into Files, too, and if the API is updated, developers would be able to really expand what there apps can do with the file system. Chances are iOS and macOS won't "merge" in the traditional sense, so improving and stepping up pro features is always a want. When it comes to smart assistants, Siri is clearly behind Amazon’s Alexa and the Google Assistant. Improvements are rumored and are needed, but a key one would be expanding Hey Siri to recognize different voices. This would be a big win for the HomePod, as well as furthering multi-user support on iOS. Siri currently does an okay job, but improved voice recognition and understanding as a whole is needed. Proper transcription and translation would also be great upgrades. Notes got a big update in iOS 11, with upgrades that let users share notes, create lists, use the Apple Pencil or your finger natively, and scan in documents as PDFs. The ideal next move would be OCR (optical character recognition). This is a feature that separates smart notes apps from the not-so-smart ones. Having this built into iOS would eliminate the need to download a separate app for the feature, streamlining some workflows. From a student standpoint, being able to scan in a handout and have it be searchable would be a big win. iOS 11 revamped the iPad with a dock and new ways to multitask. Last year we got real multitasking on the iPad with split-screen, but we're still waiting for it on the iPhone. Many Android phones have offered the feature for some time, and while it doesn’t make sense for every app, it does work well for some. Imagine you have photos on the top and email on the bottom, letting you easily drag and drop your favorite images from into new emails. Animoji was a standout feature of the iPhone X and is still exclusive (more or less) to the device. Rather than just sending fun messages with them (nothing like impersonating a poop emoji to get a point across), users began creating “Animoji Karaoke” videos and sharing them on social. The tech giant even joined the party with a Grammys ad featuring the art. It might be a long shot, but Apple building in an easy way to create "Animoji Karaoke" in iOS 12 would be an epic feature. | 109,910 | [

2018-10-19 05:00:11 | Fendi attempts to address the Italian national youth unemployment crisis by luring a new generation into becoming traditional artisans. ROME — One unseasonably warm recent October morning, a steady stream of Roman high school students clad in the uniform of teenagers around the world — T-shirts over leggings or jeans — moseyed through the ground floor of the grand Palazzo della Civiltà Italiana, the onetime monument to Mussolini’s dreams and now the Fendi headquarters. They were there for an accelerated lesson in the newfangled employment potential of old-fashioned craftsmanship. Moving from workstation to workstation, the teenagers watched as Fendi artisans painstakingly made leather bags, shoes, couture gowns, furs, furniture and watches. In one hall they saw the step-by-step minutiae that goes into fashioning of one of Fendi’s signature Peekaboo handbags, a multiweek production from pelt selection to final assembly and quality control, which helps to account for price tags that can easily reach 20,000 euros (about $23,000) per bag, depending on the materials used. “If I made just one of those bags I’d be set for the year,” one teenage boy with short-cropped hair and trendy plucked eyebrows said. A youth crisis has been brewing in Italy for a while now. The unemployment rate for youth in Italy between 15 and 24 years old was just over 30 percent in August, according to the national statistics agency, Istat. Also in August, Eurostat, its European equivalent, noted that the portion of young people between 20 and 34 neither in education nor training (the so-called NEETs) in 2017 was 29.5 percent in Italy (compared to 7.8 percent in Sweden). But it’s not as though jobs don’t exist. A report by Altagamma, the Italian luxury goods association, estimated that some 50,000 people working in the luxury goods industry in Italy are close to retirement and that it will be a struggle to find qualified personnel to fill those jobs. The problem is, recent generations of Italian youth have increasingly shied away from traditional handwork, opting instead for seemingly more contemporary sectors like engineering, and cooking. “Someone said to me, ‘Everybody now in Italy, they all want to be a chef,’” because of the popularity of television programs like “MasterChef,” said Serge Brunschwig, the chief executive of Fendi. That was frustrating until he realized: “O.K. We’re not far from that.” So while the rest of the visitors in the room might have seen the boy as a skate kid, Mr. Brunschwig looked at him and saw a potential future employee. Hence the initiative for Italian high schools hosted by Fendi as part of its Journées Particulières, the event organized by LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton (its parent company) to showcase the inner workings of its many brands, which took place last weekend in 76 sites on four continents. For Fendi, it wasn’t just about letting people in, however: It was about convincing young people that they should think about job applications. And it’s not entirely selfless. If Italy’s luxury goods sector continues to prosper, there won’t be enough highly skilled craftspeople to satisfy demand for their products. “It’s a gap that is our responsibility to fill, and I feel it very strongly,” Mr. Brunschwig said. “Sustainability of work is a first priority we all have.” Craftspeople have become such a valued commodity that Mr. Brunschwig asked that none of the last names of those who were part of the Open Days program be used for fear that they would be poached by his competitors. “Voilà: These are expert people, and I would prefer that they work for Fendi,” said Mr. Brunschwig, who is French and came to Fendi in February from Dior Men’s. Gaetana Gianotti, a teacher at the Livia Bottardi Technical Institute for Tourism, said her class was visiting Fendi as part of an alternate training program mandatory to all Italian high schools that aims to give students a taste of the workplace under many guises. The problem is that while the alternative training program has value as an educational tool, it can vary wildly in quality from Italian region to region, and doesn’t come close to an apprenticeship. Things aren’t much better after students graduate from high school. Italy doesn’t have a network of community colleges, so professional vocational training is available through regional initiatives, or through private schools, where tuition can be steep. A 2013 law introduced eight postsecondary schools in Italy that offer fashion-related diplomas. Several fashion houses have bridged the growing gap with in-house training programs or more formal academies, including Tod’s, Brunello Cucinelli, Prada and Fendi. During the Open Days, one such graduate, Caterina, a 21-year-tailor in Fendi’s ready-to-wear atelier, sewed microscopic bits of fur onto delicate tulle. She is also a recent graduate of the Accademia Massoli, a joint dressmaking project of Fendi and the couture workshop Sartoria Massoli. “I wanted to learn this craft because it’s disappearing, unfortunately, and needs a generational turnover,” said Caterina, who is looking forward to the day when she would be experienced enough to travel to fashion shows to see her creations on the runway. “Nothing is made by just one person. It’s a team effort, passing through many hands.” Next to her, another young artisan showed students how fur could be sewn together to create a multicolored intarsia effect. For the event, Fendi’s fur atelier used discarded material from garments to create panels designed by eight Roman street artists in order to make the work seem more relevant to the young audience. Mr. Brunschwig said that if the work displayed captures the imagination of even a tiny percentage of the hundreds of student visitors to the Journées Particulières, which lasts until Nov. 4 in Rome, then it will have been successful. “Maybe it will open for some a door that was not existing before,” he said. Like Elisa Frascadore, 18, a tall, lanky, student from one of Rome’s technical high schools. “I think I’d like to continue in this very beautiful dream,” she said. | 101,853 | [

2019-09-25 00:00:00 | Roger Stone’s November trial was already shaping up to be a true Washington spectacle, with President Donald Trump's longtime ally defending himself in federal court against charges he lied to Congress and obstructed the House Intelligence Committee’s Russia probe. On Wednesday, it got even more interesting. During a pre-trial conference held exactly eight months to the day after special counsel Robert Mueller unsealed Stone’s indictment and FBI agents arrested him in Fort Lauderdale, a defense lawyer for the Republican political consultant signaled there could be a big showdown on the witness stand with former Trump campaign manager Steve Bannon. Bruce Rogow, the Stone lawyer, didn’t provide details about why exactly Bannon would be called in the trial, which is scheduled to start Nov. 5 in Washington. But he dropped Bannon’s name, along with three others who were already known as potential witnesses — former Trump campaign deputy Rick Gates, radio host Randy Credico and conservative author Jerome Corsi — during an argument with Justice Department prosecutors over what can be said in front of the jury. U.S. District Court Judge Amy Berman Jackson, an appointee of President Barack Obama, ultimately sided against Stone on the issue of whether his attorneys would have the right during the trial to take issue when talking to the potential witnesses about the conduct of Mueller’s team, the FBI, intelligence officials and members of Congress. “We’re not going to try the investigators or the investigation,” she said. Even so, Jackson said she would give Stone’s defense team some leeway when witnesses are on the stand to pose questions about whether the government had made any promises in exchange for their testimony. On Corsi, for example, Rogow said he was interested in asking about a plea agreement the government dangled in front of the conservative commentator but then pulled back. Corsi, identified in the Mueller indictment as “Person 1,” exchanged multiple emails with Stone in 2016 about WikiLeaks, the online platform responsible for publishing stolen Democratic emails during the 2016 presidential campaign. Stone’s trial is expected to last at least two weeks and now appears on track to coincide with formal House impeachment investigations against Trump, the businessman-turned-president whose career he’s been a central part of promoting dating back to the early 1980s. Wednesday’s pre-trial hearing won’t be the last before the trial. Jackson set another session for Nov. 4, the day before jury selection begins, to deal with a range of still unresolved issues over what evidence can be presented at the trial. For now, Jackson has decided to hold off on making a decision about whether prosecutors can show jurors a clip from “The Godfather, Part II” during the trial. DOJ prosecutors who inherited the case from Mueller earlier this summer had asked to show the four-minute scene from the 1974 film because it adds “important context” to the witness tampering allegations against Stone. The clip involves a character named Frank Pentangeli — in a moment of levity during Wednesday’s hearing Jackson struggled to pronounce the name — backtracks from giving Congress damning testimony about the Corleone crime family. Stone had mentioned the scene in text messages to Credico, a key Mueller probe witness questioned in the investigation about his contacts with both Stone and WikiLeaks. In the Stone indictment, Mueller accuses Stone of threatening Credico and his pet dog and urges the witness to “do a Frank Pentangeli.” “To see that film clip is the best evidence, and in some sense the only evidence, of what that image is,” Adam Jed, a former Mueller lawyer who remains at DOJ and is part of the Stone prosecution team, said in court on Wednesday. Stone’s attorneys countered the film clip would prejudice the jury into making connections between their client and the Mafia. Jackson acknowledged that point in urging both sides to try to find a way to resolve the matter short of showing the actual movie scene. She suggested, for example, showing the jury a transcript of the scene. “I get you’re point that a picture is worth a thousand words but that also gives this evidence more weight than other evidence,” she told Jed. “All of it could tend to give it undue importance in the trial when really the point was clearly made in a perfectly vanilla paragraph in the indictment.” Jackson did take DOJ’s side in blocking discussion at the trial about the underlying Russian interference in the 2016 campaign. Stone’s lawyers said they’d been planning to bring up expert witnesses on the topic but Jackson cut that line of argument off by noting that the charges against him center around whether he misled the House panel’s investigation. Mueller directly charged Russian hackers in a separate case in the same D.C. federal courthouse, Jackson noted. But those defendants are the ones who have the right to question the special counsel’s allegations. “That forum is not this courtroom,” the judge said. The judge also rejected Stone's motion to see a report conducted by Crowdstrike, the private cybersecurity firm deployed by the Democratic National Committee to look into what happened in Russia's 2016 hack attack on its servers. Stone had asked to get the document from the government but that was moot, Jackson ruled, since DOJ said it didn't have a copy. The DNC did deliver the report to the court under seal, and Jackson said after reviewing it that it should remain under wraps because it wasn't relevant to the false statement allegations Stone faces. In addition, it also contained materials related to the DNC's ongoing efforts to secure its servers. "For obvious reasons, that should not be made public," she said. Jackson's decision on the Crowdstrike report came just minutes after the White House released a summary of a July phone call where Trump asked the president of the Ukraine for a "favor" to investigate the cybersecurity firm over its role in the 2016 hacking. The call, which is now at the center of the Democrats' impeachment effort, reflects Trump's erroneous claim that the company is based in Ukraine when it actually was founded by a Russian-American and headquartered in California's Silicon Valley. Separately, Jackson also held off in ruling on Stone’s bid to block DOJ from talking about other alleged false statements he made before the House committee during the September 2017 testimony that led Mueller to press charges. During Wednesday’s hearing she fretted that raising Stone’s statements could prolong the trial and confuse jurors over allegations that the government didn’t choose to prosecute. DOJ attorney Michael Marando argued that the government’s allegations needs to be heard in the context of Stone’s overall motivations. “He went in with a calculated plan to lie, to separate himself from the campaign in order to shield the lie about his connections to WikiLeaks. He had to create that space,” Marando said. The DOJ prosecutor added that Stone misled the House panel about his contacts with “literally the highest levels of the campaign other than the candidate himself.” The government could make its case about Stone’s alleged lies with two witnesses “at most.” One of them likely would be an FBI agent who could walk jurors through all the evidence. He didn’t name the other witness but offered to share it privately with Jackson. Stone’s attorneys countered that the jurors would be swayed by unnecessary exhibits. “If they indicted him,” Rogow argued, “it’d be relevant.” | 83,904 | [

2016-07-06 00:00:00 | A Louisiana Democrat is calling for a Justice Department investigation into a police shooting in Baton Rouge on Tuesday. In a statement, Rep. Cedric RichmondCedric Levon RichmondHouse Democrat calls for gun control: Cities can ban plastic straws but 'we can't ban assault weapons?' Embattled Juul seeks allies in Washington Democratic lawmakers support Bustos after DCCC resignations MORE called footage of the shooting of 37-year-old Alton Sterling “deeply troubling” and expressed sympathy for protesters who gathered after the killing. “There are a number of unanswered questions surrounding Mr. Sterling's death,” Richmond said in the statement. “Including questions about the initial calls for police presence, the level of force used by officers, the verbal and physical altercation, and the response of the officers after he was shot. I call on the U.S. Department of Justice to conduct a full and transparent investigation into this incident. “The cause of justice requires state and local law enforcement to join in this request as soon as possible.” Cellphone video appears to show two police officers shooting Sterling multiple times after pinning him to the ground. One witness said that Sterling had a gun in his possession, though police officials have not confirmed it. About 100 protestors gathered near the convenience store where Sterling was killed, carrying signs and chanting “black lives matter.” “I ask the leaders and citizens of Baton Rouge to join me in demonstrating our anger with dignity and demanding proper focus on our cause with perseverance,” Richmond said in the statement. “His family and the citizens of Baton Rouge--especially the citizens of North Baton Rouge--deserve answers and that is what we will seek in a fair, thorough, and transparent way."

2016-11-07 | Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte on Monday canceled a purchase of police rifles from the U.S. after Senate aides said Washington was halting the sale over human rights concerns. "We will not insist on buying expensive arms from the United States. We can always get them somewhere else. I am ordering the police to cancel it. We don't need them," Duterte said in a televised speech at an event attended by Muslim rebel leaders, according to Reuters. "We will just have to look for another source that is cheaper and maybe as durable and as good as those made in the place we are ordering them," he added. Last month, Senate aides told Reuters that the U.S. State Department halted the planned sale of some 26,000 assault rifles to the Philippines's national police, after Sen.

Cardin is the ranking member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. The relationship between the U.S. and its longtime Asian ally has hit a rocky path under Duterte, who assumed office in June. His violent efforts to crack down on drugs have left thousands dead. The 71-year-old president has lashed out against the U.S. and President Obama and recently announced his country's "separation" from the U.S. in favor of a pivot toward China, the regional superpower. Duterte has said in the past that Russia and China had shown willingness to sell arms to the Philippines. View the discussion thread.

2018-07-30 | While rejecting the government’s request to stop the discovery process of obtaining evidence and depositions, the High Court nonetheless lodged criticisms of the case, which is known in lower courts as Juliana v. United States. “The breadth of respondents’ claims is striking, however, and the justiciability of those claims presents substantial grounds for difference of opinion,” the justices wrote in the Monday notice, asking the District Court for the District of Oregon, where the case is pending, to consider those facts. The Justice Department turned to the Supreme Court earlier this month to halt discovery after both the Oregon court and the San Francisco-based U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit turned down their pleas to stop the case’s progression. Administration attorneys sent their Supreme Court petition last month to retiring Justice Anthony Kennedy. He referred it to the full nine-justice court for a vote. Monday’s order did not say how the justices voted, but a five-justice majority is necessary for the kind of stay the administration wanted. The case was filed in 2015 by 21 child and young adult plaintiffs, represented by climate activist and scientist James Hansen. They argue that the federal government, led at the time by President Obama, needs to take stronger action against global warming. Federal officials have tried at numerous steps to stop the case or the discovery process. “This suit is an attempt to redirect federal environmental and energy policies through the courts rather than through the political process, by asserting a new and unsupported fundamental due process right to certain climate conditions,” the Justice Department wrote last month to the Supreme Court. “Absent relief from the Ninth Circuit or this Court, the government will be forced to participate in a highly compacted period of discovery and trial preparation followed by a 50-day trial, all of which will itself violate bedrock limitations on agency decisionmaking and the judicial process.” The denial by the 9th Circuit earlier this month was the second time the administration has sought an extraordinary order from that court to block discovery. “We denied the government’s first mandamus petition, concluding that it had not met the high bar for relief at that stage of the litigation,” that court's judges wrote. “No new circumstances justify this second petition, and we again decline to grant mandamus relief.” Updated at 4:30 p.m. View the discussion thread.

2018-09-06 | BEIJING (Reuters) - Gambian President Adama Barrow told Chinese President Xi Jinping on Thursday that his country’s previous ties with self-ruled Taiwan had been a “huge mistake”, and he thanked China for all the help it had given subsequently, China said. China resumed ties with Gambia in 2016, after it ended formal relations with Taiwan, claimed by China as a wayward province with no right to diplomatic relations. Two other African countries have since followed suit, São Tomé and Príncipe and Burkina Faso. China has stepped up pressure on Taiwan’s remaining allies - now down to just 17, most of them poor countries in the Pacific and Central America - as it seeks to limit the democratic island’s international footprint. Meeting Xi in Beijing following this week’s China-Africa summit, Barrow told Xi that his country had been wrong to maintain relations with Taiwan. “The facts prove that Gambia previously maintaining so-called diplomatic relations with Taiwan was a huge mistake,” China’s foreign ministry cited Barrow as saying. “China has helped us improve communications, roads and transport conditions, things that in all the years gone past we wanted to do but were unable,” he added. Barrow said he “believed that with China’s cooperation, Gambia will achieve speeded-up development”, the ministry said. For years, China and Taiwan have tried to poach each other’s allies, often dangling generous aid packages in front of leaders of developing nations. The kingdom of eSwatini, formerly known as Swaziland, is Taiwan’s only remaining African ally. It has shown no desire to ditch Taipei even as China steps up efforts to woo it. China’s renewed diplomatic tussle with Taiwan has also dragged in the United States. While Washington only recognizes China, it has strong unofficial relations with Taiwan and is its main arms supplier. Last month, the United States attacked El Salvador’s decision to abandon Taiwan in favor of China, saying the change was of grave concern and warning that China was offering economic inducements to seek domination.

2020-03-11 00:00:00 | (CNN)Just hours after he was sentenced to 23 years in prison, disgraced movie mogul Harvey Weinstein was transferred to Bellevue Hospital in New York due to chest pains. Weinstein, 67, was transferred to the Manhattan hospital Wednesday evening, following chest pains he experienced while at Rikers Island jail, according to his spokesman Juda Engelmayer. The determination to move Weinstein was made by staff at Rikers Island for his safety. He will be evaluated and likely will stay overnight, Engelmayer said. Weinstein, whose case helped ignite the global #MeToo movement, had faced between five and 29 years in prison after being convicted of first-degree criminal sexual act and third-degree rape. The jury, made up of seven men and five women, deliberated for five days. The charges were based on Miriam Haley's testimony that Weinstein forced oral sex on her in 2006 and Jessica Mann's testimony that he raped her in 2013. Four other women also testified. Weinstein was previously treated at Bellevue Hospital in February, after experiencing heart palpitations and high blood pressure, his attorney Donna Rotunno said at the time. Doctors at Bellevue performed a heart procedure, inserting a stent before transferring him to the infirmary unit at Rikers Island. The ex-producer, who used a walker throughout the trial, has "significant medical issues," Rotunno said in February. Weinstein's attorneys had previously asked that he be sentenced to five years in prison. They argued that with his frail health, anything longer would constitute a de facto life sentence. The Rikers Island jail has its own issues, known for its violence and poor conditions. Last October, the New York City Council voted to close the jail and open four new borough-based facilities instead. | 35,180 | [

2019-09-17 00:00:00 | NEW DELHI/MOSCOW (Reuters) - India is looking at raising oil imports from Russia, its oil minister said on Tuesday, at a time of surging oil prices after an attack on Saudi Arabian facilities halved the kingdom’s production. Russia is jostling to capture market share in fast-growing India against rivals Saudi Arabia, Qatar and United Arab Emirates. Dharmendra Pradhan said he had met the chief executive of oil producer Rosneft and that four Indian companies planned to increase their investment in Russian oilfields. “Today I met excellency Igor Sechin, CEO of Rosneft. We elaborately discussed the possibility of oil imports,” Pradhan told reporters. In the wake of weekend attacks that have hampered Saudi Arabia’s oil output, the oil minister also attempted to calm nerves on supply, saying he was confident that India, the world’s third-largest oil consumer, had a diverse crude basket. Rosneft, the world’s largest listed oil producer by output, confirmed that a possible increase of oil supplies to Indian refineries had been discussed. Rosneft and the government also discussed the development of Nayara Еnergy, a company in which Rosneft holds a majority stake. The consortium is reviewing an option of a two-fold increase in refining throughput at the Vadinar Refinery, Rosneft said. In the first stage, the consortium has committed to invest $850 million toward the building of a petrochemical unit within two years. “The consortium is also planning to expand Nayara Energy’s retail presence, which is currently the fastest growing pan-India fuel retail network with over 5,300 retail outlets,” Rosneft said in a statement. It also said joint projects - specifically Sakhalin-1 (oil and gas project), Taas-Yuryakh and Vankor (oilfields in Russia) - were being reviewed, but did not elaborate. Saudi Arabia is the world’s biggest oil exporter, and the second-largest supplier of crude to India after Iraq. India reduced the Middle East’s share in its total oil imports to about 56% in July from around 60% a year ago, while increasing its share of imports from Africa and the United States. Two sources briefed on state oil company Saudi Aramco’s operations told Reuters it might take months for oil production to return to normal. Earlier estimates had suggested it could take weeks. “This incident is huge,” India’s Pradhan said in his first news conference following the attacks. “But yesterday we lifted oil, and today also we lifted oil,” he said.

2019-03-05 | BEIJING, March 5 (Reuters) - China's ratio of outstanding liabilities to gross domestic product fell in 2018 after rising in previous years, a sign of initial success in the government's deleveraging drive, a vice central bank governor said on Tuesday. China's macro leverage ratio dropped 1.5 percentage points last year, Chen Yulu, vice governor at the People's Bank of China (PBOC), told reporters at a briefing on the sidelines of the country's annual meeting of parliament. The central bank said previously that China's overall leverage ratio would continue to stabilize due to the government's supply-side reforms, tighter regulations, and a prudent and neutral monetary policy. The macro leverage ratio hit 250.3 percent in 2017. China's liabilities had soared during previous years, with the macro leverage ratio up 13.5 percentage points each year from 2012 to 2016.

2017-09-13 | Launch Complex 39 surrounding areas are seen during an aerial survey of NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida on September 12, 2017.
(NASA/Bill White) NASA’s Kennedy Space Center sustained “a variety of damage” as a result of Hurricane Irma, officials have confirmed. In a blog post Tuesday, NASA said that the Space Center is without water service following the hurricane. “Center Director Bob Cabana joined the center’s Damage Assessment and Recovery Team for a survey of the spaceport Tuesday,” the government agency explained in the post. “A damage assessment report will be compiled over the next several weeks after a full inspection of the center has been conducted.” HURRICANE IRMA: FLORIDA RESIDENTS WARNED TO BEWARE ALLIGATORS, SNAKES
The Multi-Payload Processing Facility (MPPF) is seen during an aerial survey of NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida on September 12, 2017.
(NASA/Bill White) NASA closed Kennedy Space Center on Sept. 8 before Hurricane Irma hit Florida and only a small team of specialists known as the Rideout Team was at the site during the storm. Last week, NASA said that the facility would be closed until at least Sept. 11, but on Tuesday said the site will remain closed on Wednesday Sept. 13 as the Damage Assessment and Recovery Team continues to assess the Space Center and deal with any issues it finds before full operations resume. The storm, which had left a trail of destruction across the Caribbean, made landfall as a Category 4 Storm in the Florida Keys on Sunday morning, before carving a path up Florida’s West Coast. HURRICANE IRMA: THE SCIENCE OF THE DEADLY STORM
A tank stroage unit near Launch Complex 39 is seen during an aerial survey of NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida on September 12, 2017.
(NASA/Bill White) Kennedy Space Center, which is on Florida’s Merritt Island, adjacent to Cape Canaveral, was impacted by the epic storm as it churned past. Images released by NASA appear to show damage to some roofs at the famous site and the exterior of the Center’s Multi-Payload Processing Facility (MPPF). NASA has not yet responded to a request for comment on the extent of the damage from Fox News. Last year, Hurricane Matthew caused millions of dollars of damage to Kennedy Space Center.

2020-01-03 06:00:09 | Listen and subscribe to our podcast from your mobile device: Via Apple Podcasts | Via RadioPublic | Via Stitcher This week, “The Daily” is revisiting some of our favorite episodes of 2019 and checking in on what has happened since they first appeared. Today, we return to our conversation with the whistle-blower John Barnett, known as Swampy, about what he said were systemic safety problems at Boeing. After two 737 Max jet crashes killed 346 people and a federal investigation left the company in crisis, we ask: Is something deeper going wrong at the once-revered manufacturer? On today’s episode: Natalie Kitroeff, a business reporter for The New York Times, spoke with John Barnett, a former quality manager at Boeing. transcript Before we start today, I’d like to speak directly to the families of the victims who are here with us. On behalf of myself and the Boeing company we are sorry, deeply and truly sorry. As a husband and father myself, I’m heartbroken by your losses. I think about you and your loved ones every day. And I know our entire Boeing team does, as well. I know that probably doesn’t offer much comfort and healing at this point. But I want you to know that we carry those memories with us every day. Background reading: Boeing successfully lobbied to reduce government oversight of airplane designs, allowing it to regulate faulty engineering internally. A congressional investigation last fall asked what Boeing knew before the two crashes. Tune in, and tell us what you think. Email us at [email protected].

2016-07-01 14:30:00 | In a series of commemorative events to remember those lost in the Battle of the Somme 100 years ago, Princess Kate gave a subtle nod to the past with her style choices. Wearing a grey and black zig-zag patterned coat from Missoni over a black dress and wearing a new pillbox hat by one of her favorite London milliners, Lock & Co, Kate evoked comparisons to another fashion icon – Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. Kate even wore a hair net over her low chignon during Thursday’s night’s vigil at Thiepval Memorial, adding another vintage element to the look. The pillbox style hat gained popularity in the 1960s after the former first lady chose to wear one to her husband’s presidential inauguration in 1961. Since then, many royal women have favored the look, including the late Princess Diana. • Want to keep up with the latest royals coverage? Click here to subscribe to the Royals Newsletter. Kate memorably chose a similar hat stepping off the plane in New Zealand for the royal tour in 2014, when she wore a red pillbox hat by Gina Foster. On Friday, while visiting a war memorial, the royal shopped from her own closet when it came to her millinery, opting for black perching hat with ostrich feather detailing, also from Lock & Co. The newlywed wore it back in 2011 for her first Trooping of the Colour, just two months after her wedding to Prince William. She also wore it to a wedding that same year. | 60,365 | [

2019-07-20 00:00:00 | CAIRO (Reuters) - British Airways and Lufthansa abruptly suspended flights to Cairo from Saturday over security concerns, but giving no details about what may have prompted the move. “We constantly review our security arrangements at all our airports around the world, and have suspended flights to Cairo for seven days as a precaution to allow for further assessment,” British Airways said in a statement. Lufthansa (LHAG.DE) later said it had canceled its flights to Cairo on Saturday from Munich and Frankfurt and will resume its flights on Sunday British Airways, a unit of IAG (ICAG.L), also said that it would never operate an aircraft unless it was safe to do so. When asked for more details about why flights had been suspended and what security arrangements the airline was reviewing, a spokeswoman responded: “We never discuss matters of security.” Three Egyptian airport security sources told Reuters that British staff had been checking security at Cairo airport on Wednesday and Thursday. They gave no further details. The British Foreign Office updated its travel advisory on Saturday to add a reference to the British Airways’ suspension, advising travelers affected to contact the airline. Egypt’s Ministry of Civil Aviation said in a statement late on Saturday that it had contacted the British Embassy in Cairo which had confirmed that the decision to suspend the flights was not issued by Britain’s transport or foreign ministries. The Egyptian ministry added that it will add more flights from Cairo to London starting on Sunday “to facilitate transporting passengers during this period.” The British government has long advised against all but essential travel by air to and from the Egyptian resort of Sharm el-Sheikh, where a Russian passenger jet was bombed in 2015, but has not issued similar warnings against air travel to and from Cairo. “There’s a heightened risk of terrorism against aviation. Additional security measures are in place for flights departing from Egypt to the UK,” the British advisory says. Tourism, a key source of foreign revenue for Egypt, has been recovering after tourist numbers dropped in the wake of a 2011 uprising and the 2015 bombing of the Russian jet, which killed all 224 people on board shortly after takeoff. That attack, which was claimed by Islamic State, prompted Russia to halt all flights to Egypt for several years and a number of countries including Britain to cease flights to Sharm el Sheikh, which have yet to resume.

2017-05-17 | When Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos meets with President Trump at the White House on Thursday, May 18, there will be much to discuss — from the financing of the impunity deal with the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) to the recent skyrocketing of the cocaine influx into the United States. Yet, Santos will undoubtedly dodge addressing his complicity in the persecution of his own and other political oppositions in our region. In Latin America, the persecution of political dissenters is not just a Venezuelan anomaly, where there are some 180 political prisoners. For instance, in Ecuador, media owners and journalists have had to flee into exile after criticizing President Rafael Correa. In Bolivia, Evo Morales’ predecessor and many of his cabinet members are also in exile, seeking protection from a political vendetta. Santos has been silent about all these situations. This is, in a large part, because he doesn't want anyone focused on his own domestic record. Santos, in alliance with a politicized faction of the judiciary, has undertaken a systematic persecution of political leaders critical of his deal with FARC, the largest cocaine cartel in the world, whose war over a half century claimed more than 250,000 lives and displaced more than five million. The agreement exonerates from jail and prohibits extradition of FARC members responsible for atrocious crimes — massacres, kidnappings, and narcotrafficking — and also grants them the right to run for political office. The most egregious case of political persecution is directed at my former Minister of Agriculture Andrés Felipe Arias, who currently seeking asylum in the U.S. As Minister, Arias spearheaded the reduction in coca crops to historic lows by 2010, was a leading negotiator of the U.S.–Colombia FTA, and was always one of the most vocal critics of the FARC. The moment he decided to run for president in 2010 in defense of my administration’s policy against narcoterrorism, he became the target of politicized judicial persecution that continues to this day. JUST IN: Trump urges Venezuela to release political prisoner "immediately" https://t.co/b9HgGgWZHx pic.twitter.com/4zduBMlsPc Arias was unfairly accused of a fraud scheme in an irrigation subsidy program that was operated with technical cooperation from the Organization of American States. He was imprisoned for two years while on trial. Those individuals who benefited from the alleged fraud testified that they never met Arias, that he was never involved in their wrongdoing, and that they never gave him anything, nor contributed to his presidential campaign. The independent inspector general of Colombia requested his acquittal on all counts and cleared Arias of any wrongdoing in his personal and campaign finances. Despite all this, Arias was found guilty and sentenced to more than 17 years in prison. To make matters worse — and in defiance of Colombia's obligations under international law — Arias has been systematically denied the right of any appeal of his conviction. To secure Arias’ extradition to Colombia, Santos has tried to resurrect a defunct extradition treaty between our countries. Colombia extradites people to the U.S. based exclusively on Colombian domestic law, not based on a treaty. Indeed, Santos himself previously refused to extradite notorious narcotrafficker Walid Makled to the U.S. and instead sent him to Venezuela justifying his decision by saying the extradition treaty with the U.S. was not in force. But since the U.S. can only extradite under a treaty, now Santos has now claimed the treaty is valid so he can get ahold of Arias and impede his application for asylum in the U.S. We’ll see what Santos has to say about the treaty when President Trump requests the extradition of a FARC kingpin. Unfortunately, Arias is not the only victim of political persecution in Colombia. Over a dozen leaders of the opposition have fallen prey to the same tactics of the Santos administration. Several members of my cabinet have also been persecuted and convicted by former Supreme Court justices that explicitly decided their cases politically and not in accordance with the law, as revealed by audio recordings of their sessions made public by Colombian media. Political persecution in Colombia endangers the prospect of long-term peace in our country. The Colombian people can’t understand why opposition leaders are silenced and persecuted while FARC kingpins are granted full amnesty and a privileged political platform allowing them to run for office. I hope that the political persecution in Colombia doesn’t go unnoticed for too much longer. If anything, this is the most important lesson to be learned from the global community’s neglect of the early signs of Venezuela’s return to authoritarian rule. Álvaro Uribe served as President of Colombia from 2002-2010. He is a Senator in the Colombian Senate and leader of the Democratic Center Party.

2017-01-27 | .@POTUS after tough question from BBC reporter picked by May pic.twitter.com/aEp5hAO4uK In a light-hearted moment during a joint press conference with British Prime Minister Theresa May Friday, President Trump joked that a reporter’s pointed question about his past rhetoric would cost the two countries their relationship. BBC News reporter Laura Kuenssberg asked Trump about his past rhetoric regarding torture, Russia and banning Muslims from entering the United States, noting that these comments are alarming for many in Britain. “You’ve said before that torture works, you’ve praised Russia, you’ve said you’d want to ban some Muslims from coming to America, you’ve suggested there should be some punishment for abortions,” Kuenssberg said. “For many people in Britain, those sound like alarming beliefs. What do you say to our viewers at home who are worried about some of your views and are worried about you becoming the leader of the free world?” Trump signaled to May to answer Kuenssberg’s question first, quipping: “There goes that relationship." Prior to the press conference, Trump met with May in his first sit-down with a world leader since his inauguration last week. Following their meeting, Trump and May addressed reporters and White House staff, vowing to continue to build on the “special relationship” between the United States and United Kingdom.

2017-04-05 00:00:00 | The disastrous release and swift withdrawal of Pepsi's Kendall Jenner-led protest spot has advertising insiders questioning the limits of the industry's core belief that there's no such thing as bad publicity. The ad diminishes decades of African-American protests for civil rights and "lives that have been lost in that struggle over the years," said JeWayne Thomas, a vice president at Burrell Communications, an agency that has specialized in ads targeting the black community. Pepsi was so focused on centering its own product that it missed a much more lucrative opportunity to create something inspiring, he said. "The story just doesn’t resonate," he said. "There are some complex issues that we have to deal with as a country, race being one of them. And for sure Pepsi is not going to help solve issues." Thomas said these types of mistakes can be avoided by having someone in the room who is familiar with the issues. "That is typically the best way to avoid falling into this negative situation," he said. "Having that person be empowered should be a part of the process." Pepsi knows how badly this one landed. The ad, it said in a statement Wednesday, "was trying to project a global message of unity, peace and understanding. Clearly we missed the mark, and we apologize. We did not intend to make light of any serious issue." The company also apologized to Kendall Jenner. But while Kendall got an apology, Pepsi's casting of her seemed mistaken for an ad playing on a rising national wave of street activism. "To add her into the mix made a controversial situation more controversial," said Allen Adamson, founder of BrandSimple Consulting. "There’s so much pressure on brands and companies to try to be relevant," said Adamson. "They missed the mark on connecting to the hearts of people protesting and dramatically underestimated the sensitivity of the problem with protesters and BLM with soda pop. In a market where social media is looking, they got the attention they wanted for the wrong reasons." Jenner may be a tempting force in youth advertising thanks to her 77.8 million dewy, millennial-and-younger followers on Instagram. How much blame should she take for this disaster? The almost 500 respondents to our highly unscientific poll were inclined to give her a pass: The protest alluded to "emotional events and very significant issues that affect the core of American society," brand consultant Dean Crutchfield told BuzzFeed News. "They piggybacked on a crusade and didn’t have permission to do so. People found it tasteless and crass. It was trivializing grief." For Pepsi, the debacle adds to a much bigger and more existential problem: Its core product is getting less popular by the day. Soda has become one of the main targets of public health advocates, and cities are starting to pass taxes on sugary drinks. Even diet sodas are in decline. "This is the last thing they need. Their business is pretty fragile now," said Crutchfield. "This is very embarrassing for the brand." | 34,278 | [

2016-07-21 17:57:02 | On Baseball When the Baseball Hall of Fame inducts Mike Piazza on Sunday, its membership among Mets will double. Sort of. Until now, Tom Seaver has been the only player with a Mets cap on his Hall of Fame plaque. Piazza will make it two. But the golden type on the plaques lists all of an inductee’s teams in equal size. Christy Mathewson pitched 635 games for the New York Giants and just one for the Reds, but both teams share equal prominence, just below his name, for all time. So if you’re a Mets fan strolling through the gallery in Cooperstown, N.Y., this weekend, try a scavenger hunt for the 15 other plaques that acknowledge your team. When you’re done, you could check the gift shop for the T-shirt that lists them all. Here’s a primer on the Hall of Fame Mets better known for their work elsewhere: Roberto Alomar Shea Stadium was part of Alomar’s past; he visited often as a boy when his father, Sandy Alomar Sr., played home games there for the Yankees in the 1970s. But Roberto’s arrival there in 2002, after 12 consecutive All-Star seasons, signaled his end as an elite player. After hitting .323 with a .405 on-base percentage and a .515 slugging percentage in three years with Cleveland, Alomar hit just .265 with a .333 on-base percentage and a .370 slugging percentage in a listless season and a half for the Mets. Richie Ashburn Probably the most beloved man in Philadelphia sports history, Ashburn starred for a dozen seasons as the Phillies’ center fielder. Just before starting a broadcast career that would last the rest of his life, he hit .306 for the hapless expansion Mets of 1962. Ashburn was awarded a 24-foot boat as the team’s most valuable player. After the season, he docked it in Ocean City, N.J. — and it sank. Yogi Berra Fired as the Yankees’ manager after losing a seven-game World Series to St. Louis in 1964, Berra joined the Mets as a player-coach for Casey Stengel. After playing 2,116 games for the Yankees, Berra, then 39, appeared in four games for the Mets and went 2 for 9. He later managed the Mets to their 1973 National League pennant. The Mets should retire the No. 8 for him and Gary Carter. Gary Carter In 1992, when Carter was back with the Expos for his final season, I asked what he had been thinking in Game 6 of the 1986 World Series as he walked to the plate with two outs, the bases empty and the Mets trailing Boston by two runs. This is what he said: “The biggest thing that was going through my mind is that I reflected back upon my days in the alleyway dreaming about this. You always think World Series, bottom of the ninth, two outs, that kind of stuff. And then, I felt an extreme presence and I knew that our good Lord was with us. I felt like when I went up to the plate, I was not going to make the last out. I prayed from the time I left the on-deck circle to the time I got in the box.” Carter singled to start the most famous rally in World Series history, then caught the final strikeout in Game 7. Tom Glavine After using the title “None but the Braves” for his 1996 memoir, Glavine added a second team to his career record when the Mets signed him for four years and $42.5 million in December 2002. He stayed five seasons in Flushing, losing his last start as a division title slipped away. Generally, though, Glavine was solid for the Mets, winning 63 games, including two in the playoffs, and earning his 300th career victory in 2007. Rickey Henderson Already 40 when he joined the Mets in 1999, Henderson had a .416 on-base percentage for the team — incredibly, even better than his career .401 mark. But his brief stay ended in such acrimony that Henderson was the only player for the 2000 N.L. champions who was not given a ring by the team; he was cut that May and got $1.8 million in termination pay. Pedro Martinez Two years after snagging Glavine in free agency, the Mets signed another star away from the team he would represent in Cooperstown. Lured from Boston by a four-year, $53 million contract, Martinez gave instant credibility to a sagging franchise. Let’s remember him joyously prancing amid the wayward sprinklers that interrupted a game in his scintillating 2005 season — and not for the three injury-marred years that followed. Willie Mays People use the image of Mays falling down in the outfield in the 1973 World Series against Oakland as an example of a once-great athlete hanging on too long. Less remembered is his final career hit: a go-ahead single off Rollie Fingers in the 12th inning of the Mets’ victory in Game 2. Eddie Murray The Mets signed Murray, a switch-hitting, slugging first baseman, for two years and $7.5 million before the 1992 season. In a productive but forgettable interlude in a marvelous career, Murray drove in 193 runs — and the Mets lost 193 games. Nolan Ryan The majors’ strikeout king was on the mound when the Mets earned a trip to the 1969 World Series, working the final seven innings of the National League Championship Series clincher against Atlanta. Then he saved Game 3 of the World Series against Baltimore, the first of three consecutive victories at Shea Stadium as the Mets took their first title. In December 1971, the Mets traded Ryan to the Angels for Jim Fregosi — and you know the rest. Duke Snider The Duke of Flatbush returned to New York in 1963 after the Los Angeles Dodgers sold the former Brooklyn star to the Mets. Snider got his 2,000th hit and 400th home run as a Met; at the time, only six others had reached both figures. He hit .243 with 14 homers and 45 R.B.I. as a Met, then retired after a final season with the San Francisco Giants. Warren Spahn No left-hander had more victories than Spahn, with 363, but just four of them were for the Mets. After spending 20 seasons with the Braves, Spahn began his final year, 1965, by going 4-12 for the Mets. His manager was the same man he had played for as a rookie in 1942, prompting Spahn to say, “I’m the only guy to play for Casey Stengel before and after he was a genius.” Casey Stengel The only number you will never see on the back of a New York major leaguer: 37, which the Yankees and the Mets both retired for Stengel. (All players wear No. 42 for one day in April to honor Jackie Robinson.) After winning 10 pennants and seven championships for the Yankees, Stengel guided the Mets from 1962 to 1965, with a record of 175-404. Joe Torre He finished his playing career and started his managing career with the 1977 Mets, and those tenures briefly overlapped. Torre twice inserted himself as a pinch-hitter, drawing an intentional walk the first time and then, in his final at-bat, flying out to right field off Houston’s Floyd Bannister. George Weiss The general manager for seven Yankees championship teams, Weiss was the first president of the Mets. “No other man, not even Babe Ruth or Ty Cobb, had more profound and lasting influence on the game,” Red Smith wrote in The Times after Weiss’s death. “None ever built as George Weiss built.” Weiss retired in 1966, and three years later, the Mets he had started to build won their first World Series. The On Baseball column on Friday, about 15 former Mets players in the Baseball Hall of Fame who are better known for their work elsewhere, misstated, in some copies, the number of runs batted in that Duke Snider had as a Met. He had 45, not 43. | 56,118 | [

2017-02-06 06:01:55 | New York Today Updated, 9:30 a.m. Good morning on this chilly-cheery Monday. Amid the bustle at Kennedy International Airport on Sunday, a group of recently acquainted New Yorkers packed up boxes of office supplies, snapped a group photograph and said their goodbyes. With that, the makeshift legal aid office set up to help detained passengers in the aftermath of President Trump’s targeted travel ban was dismantled. Over the past week, hundreds of lawyers had rotated though the group’s base camp: the Central Diner restaurant in Terminal 4. On a recent afternoon, Camille Mackler, the director of legal initiatives at the New York Immigration Coalition, stood among the bleary-eyed volunteers in “the pen,” an improvised office of folding tables, snaking power cords, sugary snacks and handmade signs offering legal help in English, Arabic and Farsi. “At first it was like the inmates running the asylum,” Ms. Mackler said of the initial chaos. She had been one of the first lawyers on the scene and later began organizing the crush of volunteer attorneys. Within days, the group had set up servers, Google spreadsheets and a steering committee. Sprawled across crowded tables and the terminal’s polished floors, they used their laptops and cellphones to write manuals on how to help travelers. And things moved quickly at Terminal 4. Chris Hennessy, 24, a volunteer from Harlem, stumbled upon the group and began picking up trash and getting coffee for the lawyers. A few days later, he was the project coordinator. Others who couldn’t make it to the airport showed their support. A stack of pizzas was delivered. A sorority from Kean University sent bags of ramen. A box of toothbrushes arrived. “They must think we’re not showering,” Ms. Mackler said. (While it was a round-the-clock operation, most volunteers didn’t spend more than eight hours at a stretch there, she added.) A few days after a federal judge in Brooklyn blocked the order on Jan. 28, the demand for lawyers began to fade. Travelers were being detained for shorter periods, or not at all, according to members of the group. But the lawyers stayed to assist families and write habeas corpus petitions for those detained for more than six hours. While most of the lawyers have now left the airport (a skeleton crew will still mill about the terminals), they are vowing to remain active offsite. “Now we know how to do rapid response, if we need to,” Ms. Mackler said. “We’ll be ready for the next fight.” Here’s what else is happening: And I know it’s gonna be a lovely day. A cool one, but a lovely one. We’re looking at a high of 42 — with the wind, that could feel as shivery as 25 — but at least the sun will be smiling in the sky. Soak it up while it lasts; rain and flurries are on their way for much of the rest of the week. • New York’s growth can be measured in trash bags.

The Department of Cultural Affairs’ Percent for Art program recently selected a public art installation for the Elizabeth H. Berger Plaza, which will soon be made into park. The commissioned artist, Sara Ouhaddou, will use stylized calligraphy inspired by the Arabic alphabet and pay tribute to famous local authors of Arab descent, like Khalil Gibran. The new park will inhabit what used to be known as Little Syria, which was once home to immigrants from Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, the Palestinian Territories and Syria. The neighborhood was decimated when Arab arrivals were stemmed by the Immigration Act of 1924, and it was mostly destroyed during the construction of the Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel, said Todd Fine, president of the Washington Street Historical Society. There remain, however, a few sites from Little Syria that can be visited on Washington Street today, Mr. Fine said. Like St. George’s Syrian Catholic Church, and the Downtown Community House, which provided social services to the neighborhood.

2017-12-11 | Russia’s military chief warned Monday that a missile-tracking exercise involving the United States, Japan and South Korea will only serve to raise tensions in the region following a North Korean missile launch, Reuters reported. “Carrying out military training in regions surrounding North Korea will only heighten hysteria and make the situation unstable,” said Valery Gerasimov, chief of the general staff of Russia's armed forces. China has also called on the United States and South Korea to stop the drills, saying continuing the military exercises would not be in anyone’s best interests, Reuters reported. The joint exercises, which will begin Monday, will be the sixth time the three nations have shared missile-tracking information. North Korea launched a new intercontinental ballistic missile late last month, ending a two-month hiatus for missile launches from the country. The missile landed in the Sea of Japan. The missile is said to have traveled nearly 2,800 miles high and for a distance of more than 600 miles. North Korea claimed the missile, called a Hwasong-15, is capable of reaching the entire U.S. mainland. The U.S. and South Korea last week conducted a joint aerial drill involving roughly 12,000 U.S. personnel from the Air Force, Marine Corps and Navy, along with 230 aircraft. North Korea responded to that initiative, saying it is a sign the U.S. is “begging” for war. View the discussion thread.

2017-06-26 09:00:00 | Kris Jenner has been dating Corey Gamble for almost three years, but it doesn’t seem likely that there will be wedding bells in their future. “Kris is still seeing Corey. Sometimes they seem fine and sometimes not great,” a source tells PEOPLE about the KarJenner family matriarch and Gamble’s relationship. Though Jenner, 61, and Gamble, 36, have been dating since November 2014, the source says that the couple’s “relationship is more business than romantic.” “Kris is basically his sugar mama,” says the source. “They will never get married,” the source adds. Earlier this year, Jenner told Ellen DeGeneres on The Ellen DeGeneres Show that although their age difference doesn’t bother her (“age is just a number,” she said), she’s not looking looking to walk down the aisle again. “You know, I’ve done that twice and it didn’t work out so well,” the Keeping Up with the Kardashians star told DeGeneres in February. “So I don’t know — you never know. I’m going to take a page out of Goldie and Kurt’s book. Or Kourtney’s book. I think as long as things are going so well, why ruffle it up?” FROM PEN: Lamar Odom’s Relationship with His Kids Suffered Because of ‘Toxic’ Relationship with Khloe Kardashian, Daughter Says While she won’t be embracing the title of bride anytime soon, she will be able to add another feather to her grandma cap! Last week, PEOPLE confirmed that Kim Kardashian West and Kanye West have hired a surrogate to carry their third child. “Kris never wanted Kim to get pregnant again,” the source says. “Kim had a very difficult time during both pregnancies and it was hard on Kris too.” Kardashian West, 36, suffered from placenta accreta during her pregnancies with 4-year-old daughter North and 18-month-old son Saint. (Placenta accreta is a condition in which the placenta grows into the wall of the womb and prevents it from easily detaching at the time of birth.) But now that the couple has partnered with a surrogate to carry the third West sibling, grandma Jenner is breathing a sigh of relief. “She was very worried,” the source explains of the health concerns Jenner had for her daughter about carrying another child. “Kris will be very excited about another baby and thinks using a surrogate is a great idea.” | 16,851 | [

2017-01-23 10:55:00 | One of the world’s most beautiful and glamorous women turns a quiet 60 today. Princess Caroline is “quite a remarkable woman,” her brother, Prince Albert, tells PEOPLE on Monday. “What’s she’s done over the years, helping Monaco in various ways, on the cultural and charitable sides — she’s always there. She’s often the first person on board.” In many ways, it was Caroline’s destiny. The first born child of Prince Rainier and Hollywood actress Grace Kelly, the young princess was once the world’s most photographed child and only 25 when forced to become Monaco’s surrogate first lady upon her mother’s tragic death in a 1982 car crash. “She’s very bright and gives extremely good advice,” says Prince Albert, 58. “Every time I’ve asked her about this or that situation or about this person I’m not sure of, she’s demonstrated very good judgment. I confide in her a lot. I confide in my wife [Princess Charlene] as well. But Caroline’s my sister, and I’ve known her a little bit longer,” he says with a laugh, “so usually I’ll try and bounce things around her when I’m not sure about a situation.” As for the birthday celebration, “I’m going to have lunch with Caroline and her children,” says Albert of the low-key festivities, to be held with Caroline’s four children, her daughters-in-law and three grandchildren. (A fourth, the first for Caroline’s son Pierre Casiraghi and his wife Beatrice Borromeo, is expected in March.) “For a few years, she hasn’t liked having a special celebration for her birthday, so I really don’t know how she’ll feel about reaching this sort of milestone. She really isn’t the type to dwell on it too much.” Caroline has twice faced tragedy: her mother’s death and then eight years later, the death of her second husband, Stefano Casiraghi, in a boating accident. She raised their three children together as a single mother before marrying Prince Ernst August of Hanover in 1999, with whom she had her fourth child. “She’s a very good mother, and probably an even better grandmother now if that’s possible,” says Albert. “She really raised her kids well. Without a father for many years, that’s important. I’m incredibly proud of her children and to have them turn out as they have — that’s a tribute to her.” And what does the prince — an admitted last-minute shopper — plan to give his sister for her milestone birthday? “It’s something for her home,” he says. “Something symbolic. It’s more decorative. She’s a challenge for anyone who might want to give her a gift. My advice is to just try and be original, but it’s difficult. She has great taste and you have to look hard to find the right gift.” | 5,360 | [

2019-04-10 | California researchers say they hope to develop and release the first unisex hormone-free birth control within the next six years. YourChoice Therapeutics, a startup founded by researchers from the University of California, Berkeley, is working to develop the contraceptive. UC-Berkeley’s student-run newspaper, The Daily Californian, reported Tuesday that the product, which the startup plans to release in 2025, would inhibit male sperm from reaching and fertilizing an egg, in what’s known as the “molecular condom concept.” The contraceptives are “highly effective” and “reversible,” according to the Daily Californian. Researchers said that they have been developing the concept over a decade of research. Hormonal contraceptives that are currently available are associated with a number of side effects, including increased risk of cervical cancer, blood clots and other health concerns. Hormonal male contraception has been studied, but no products are yet commercially available, and some have been found to cause erectile dysfunction and reduced sex drive. View the discussion thread.
