Question: AMLC was the Yellow Regime’s deadly political weapon

The holiday season may have given it a respite, but I don’t think President Duterte will just forget his tirade on December 22 against the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC): “You are all, you are all corrupt and serving [a]master. You are not supposed to engage in politics, God damn it,” the President said.
Duterte was angry over the AMLC’s foot-dragging in helping the Justice Department track down the moneys of the illegal drug lords. I have been angry that the AMLC had been one of the deadly weapons of the past Yellow Regime, yet its members and staff had not even been investigated for debasing this institution, and using it to get at the Liberal Party’s enemies when it was in power. How can we have a government under the rule of law when we allow those who violated the laws on the AMLC to go unpunished, not even investigated?
Indeed, the AMLC should heed Duterte’s call for them to resign, as the body can’t boast of stellar successes in tracking down and confiscating the ill-gotten wealth of global and local drug lords, terrorists, and jueteng lords. Rather it’s become infamous for three and only three things:
(1) Its collaboration with President Aquino’s forces in 2012 to remove former Chief Justice Renato Corona from his post by leaking his alleged peso and dollar bank accounts to that Yellow regime’s agents, who used it as a deadly black propaganda against the CJ.
(2) Its collaboration again with Aquino in the demolition job against presidential candidate Jejomar Binay during the campaign for the May 2016 elections, with a reporter of the Philippine Daily Inquirer having in her possession and publishing in that newspaper a confidential — but grossly inaccurate — AMLC report.
(3) Its failure to detect and stop the transfer of $81 million in stolen money from the Bangladesh central bank in New York to a Philippine bank, and to the hackers’ accomplices here.
First, when all of the impeachment charges against Chief Justice Corona were being debunked, proven more and more baseless each day, AMLC entered the fray and helped Aquino. The amounts in the bank accounts of Corona and his wife were leaked to a newspaper columnist and in a blog, and to Liberal Party stalwart Jorge Banal, who hilariously claimed he found it inserted at his residence’s gate. An Aquino fanatic, the Ateneo School of Government’s Harvey Keh tried to make Corona’s bank accounts part of the trial’s records by delivering data on these – to Enrile’s office. The former Martial Law Administrator proved to have a better moral compass than Keh by refusing to even open the envelope containing it.
Would lowly bank managers in Corona’s account have dared to risk their careers to leak such information, whose secrecy is protected by law? Certainly not. Only somebody in the AMLC could have done that, upon orders of the Yellow Regime.
Morales asks Aquino
When those “leak” tactics didn’t work, Ombudsman Conchita Carpio-Morales asked the AMLC Executive Director Vicente Aquino to provide her with data on Corona’s dollar accounts. Aquino obeyed her without question, even if there is a specific law categorically banning these from being disclosed for any purpose, except upon written approval by the holder of the bank account and upon a court order.
We don’t even know if Aquino asked, as he is required to, the three members of the AMLC for authority to do so. When I tried to get in touch at that time with the AMLC’s chairman, Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas Governor Amando Tetangco — a friend since college —to ask why he had allowed such wanton violation of the law, I was told that he was out of town, and that a deputy BSP governor represented him in the AMLC.
Worse, as I have written several times, Morales distorted the AMLC’s data in such a way that she added up all transactions – i.e., a $100 deposit and a $100 withdrawal was counted as Corona’s having a $200 balance. She then screamed to the world that the Chief Justice was hiding $10 million in his secret dollar accounts (the reality was that it was less than $1 million.)
It was a black-propaganda stunt performed before national-television cameras, intended to raise such a furor that a lynch mob was unstoppable, and consequently the Senate – except for three with integrity and wisdom – voted to kick the Chief Justice out of the Court, the first time ever this occurred in our history. Why did Aquino want Corona out? Because he thought he could bludgeon the Supreme Court to reverse its decision, made when Corona was chief justice, that required the Aquino clan’s Hacienda Luisita to comply with the agrarian reform law, instead of skirting it.
Did the AMLC undertake an investigation into such serious breach of bank confidentially? Did the AMLC bother to correct Morales’ distortion of the report given her? It didn’t, which bolsters my view that from the start, the AMLC was part of the conspiracy to attack the Supreme Court.
Second, the Philippine Daily Inquirer last year used as banner stories the articles by a Nancy Carvajal, who based her reportage on a single document she referred to as the “AMLC report” to allege that vice presidential candidate Binay had “billions” of pesos in his bank accounts and used several people as dummies. That it was a hatchet job was obvious in that Carvajal merely repeated the same article she wrote the previous year, she herself admitting that she was citing the same document. However, the AMLC reported later to the Court that after its investigations, it found only P1.7 million in Binay’s account, indicating that Carvajal’s “AMLC report” was a raw, initial report.
That was so outrageous. The AMLC’s reports on individual bank holdings are probably the most secret kind of documents in the country since these are the only such documents that a law (the Anti-Money Laundering Law of 2001, as amended) severely penalizes a person for disclosing such information. In fact, the law even specifically lists who would be made responsible for “malicious reporting… relative to money laundering:”
Breach of confidentiality
“In the case of a breach of confidentiality that is published or reported by media, the responsible reporter, writer, president, publisher, manager and editor-in-chief shall be liable under this Act. (Sec. 9d).” Prescribed penalties include imprisonment from six months to four years. In fact, not even those who are the subject of AMLC investigations are given copies of its reports.
And what does the AMLC do with such blatant use of AMLC data, which really could have been tampered with as nobody else except the Inquirer reporter (apart from the Court) had access to?
It didn’t even warn the Inquirer that its article citing an AMLC report is illegal. It didn’t even investigate why a very raw AMLC report, probably drafted by a clerk, was in the possession of that reporter.
Worse, the AMLC revealed its political partisanship when it issued a press statement that didn’t say it was going to investigate the breach in confidentiality but instead taunted Binay, by saying “The AMLC will continue to discharge its legal mandate without fear or favor.”
And third, the AMLC has been embarrassingly caught napping as $81 million in stolen money from the Bangladesh central bank entered the country, put in dormant accounts, and withdrawn to equally dubious accounts.
Do you know, dear reader, that the AMLC’s is authorized to investigate a transaction amounting to just P500,000, with its computer systems designed to alert its staff to such amount of transactions? Yet $81 million entered a single bank—in a single branch, in a single day—equivalent to P4 billion, deposited to dormant accounts, and then withdrawn, yet the AMLC didn’t notice it. I don’t think even P1 billion had ever entered a bank’s branch. Yes, ever.
It had to take a person-to-person call from the Bangladesh Bank governor to BSP Gov. Tetangco, the AMLC chairman, to alert him that such a huge stolen amount was entering the Philippine banking system.
Yet the AMLC started to work on the Bangladesh Bank governor’s alert on Feb. 3, according to its executive director, Julia Abad in her testimony in the Senate. It issued the freeze order a week later on Feb. 11. The criminals obviously had the time to withdraw the proceeds, and these have vanished into thin air.
Tetangco made an astounding excuse why the AMLC had been inept in stopping the $81 million from vanishing.
Tetangco says that our bank secrecy laws are too strict. “Once money enters a deposit account, you can’t see it anymore,” he said in a TV interview. Too strict? Then how could a columnist, a congressman, the Ombudsman get the bank balances and even details of the transactions of the Chief Justice? How could one reporter have an AMLC confidential report making allegations about the Vice President’s bank accounts?
Tetangco may have been an excellent central bank governor, but he thinks it is beyond him since he is the Philippine version of Alan Greenspan, to run what is really an anti-crime unit which the AMLC is, so that he has delegated almost all the work there to subordinates who may not have the moral fiber that he has. If he can’t supervise the AMLC, and the law requires him to chair it, he should accept the reality and resign as BSP governor, and let somebody who can really supervise that crucial anti-crime agency, one who would insulate it from politics.
Or maybe the law should be amended so that the council is led full-time by somebody who would be on the same rank as the three incumbent members of the AMLC, the heads of the BSP, the SEC and the Insurance Commission. How could such sensitive post as the AMLC chairman be a part-time job? The likelihood is for him to delegate all of his work eventually to unqualified people, or worse, unscrupulous or partisan officials.

Question: Cabinet division as Davis attacks rivals’ Brexit stance

Brexit Secretary David Davis has voiced frustration at the changing position of Cabinet colleagues on Britain’s exit from the European Union – and revealed that a newspaper article written jointly by the Chancellor and the Trade Secretary was not “cleared” with him.
The article by Philip Hammond and Liam Fox, published in the Sunday Telegraph, pledged that the post-Brexit transition period would be “time-limited”. But Mr Davis said the transition could vary between sectors and would be “driven by practicalities” rather than ideology or timing.
The Brexit Secretary was speaking in Edinburgh when he appeared as the first guest at Alex Salmond’s Edinburgh Festival Fringe show yesterday.
The ex-SNP leader alluded to the article in yesterday’s Sunday Telegraph in which Mr Hammond and Mr Fox sought to draw a line under months of Cabinet feuding over Brexit.
“They’re venting this united front about what to do about the transition period – is that the sort of thing they clear with you as Brexit Secretary?” Mr Salmond asked.
Mr Davis replied: “Not as I remember, no.” The Brexit Secretary said that he had cautioned against using phrases like “transition” period following the formal departure from the EU because “that means something different to absolutely everyone” involved in the process.
“Including members of the Cabinet?” Mr Salmond interjected. Mr Davis replied: “Sometimes on different days.”
Asked if the Cabinet was “fully united” on Brexit, Mr Davis gave a long pause, prompting laughter from the Edinburgh crowd.
“Well, we’re all captives – the answer is yes,” he responded to more laughter.
EU chief negotiator Michel Barnier had initially hinted that the post-Brexit transition period could last up to a decade, Mr Davis also revealed, after the formal “divorce” is finalised in March 2019.
Mr Davis insisted this was “never going to fly” but made it clear the timing of the implementation would be driven by practicalities.
“It will differ with different things,” he insisted.
“Much of this will be driven not by ideology, but by practicalities – when you get the customs system in place, what you do about financial services and so on. That’s why the implementation period comes into play with different people in different ways.”
Ministers are prioritising the customs union because this will need reciprocal work in other European countries, but other areas like financial services will need a lengthier period “to make any adjustments”.

Getty Theresa May has vowed to listen to other parties during the Brexit negotiations
The Prime Minister’s MPs have said that passing the European Union exit laws will be “our Passchendaele”, in reference the First World War battle in which thousands of soldiers lost their lives. Theresa May, whose Brexit stance became weakened after she failed to gain a majority government in the General Election, has been asked by Labour to soften her Brexit plans. One of the Tory ministers told the Financial Times: “Make no mistake, this will be our Passchendaele.
GETTY William Hague has called for cross-party discussions
Make no mistake, this will be our Passchendaele Conservative minister
“Labour and all the others will fight us line by line, in committees, on the floor and in the Lords, for months and months on end. It will be utterly bitter, trench warfare. “We have to get real about this and I am worried that Theresa is seriously deluded if she thinks otherwise.” Certain Tory bigwigs have asked Mrs May to have cross-party talks during the negotiations.
GETTY EU chief Juncker could be met by Theresa May and a cross-party committee for Brexit talks
One senior pro-EU Tory lawmaker and former minister said: “The Prime Minister talked about wanting to build a consensus, she recognised the different views in the party on Brexit and she also recognised the need to not just reflect the party but indeed the parliament and the country.” Former prime minister Sir John Major called on Mrs May to negotiate with MPs from different parties while David Cameron has said that Parliament “deserves a say” on Brexit. Following the election results, the Conservatives have been left scrambling to form a minority government with the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP). Sir John said: “The views of the 48 per cent cannot be brushed aside as some of the more rigorous hardline Brexiteers wish… I don’t think we should rule out the concept of a really good deal on the single market.”
May meets Juncker and Barnier at Number 10 Wed, April 26, 2017 Theresa May hosted European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker and chief negotiator Michel Barnier at Downing Street for the first face-to-face talks since she triggered the two-year process of withdrawing from the EU Play slideshow PA 1 of 7 Prime Minister Theresa May greets European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker ahead of a working dinner at 10 Downing Street, London
The Labour Party have said that they will not agree to a Brexit consensus with the Tories until the Prime Minister ditch her “no deal is better than a bad deal” rhetoric. Former foreign secretary Sir William Hague called for a cross-party commission to come to a Brexit consensus, while Scottish Tory leader Ruth Davidson has also said other parties should be involved.

Question: Charles makes splash at unveiling of refurbished community pool

Represent this text to find a news title for it

The Prince of Wales was joined by a supermodel and an Olympic swimmer as he opened a "decidedly splendid" refurbished open-air pool which was saved from demolition.
Rio 2016 double silver-medallist Duncan Scott dived in as local schoolchildren jumped into the water to celebrate the re-opening of the pool in New Cumnock, East Ayrshire.
Supermodel Eva Herzigova was among the onlookers as a guest of the lead donors Bob and Tamar Manoukian while Viscount Linley and Sir Tom Hunter were also there.
Built in 1966, the swimming pool was saved from demolition by the community-run group Afton Water Leisure and has undergone significant improvement work following funding from the Dumfries House Outreach Programme.
Charles, known as the Duke of Rothesay in Scotland, said: "I could not be more thrilled to be here today to open the swimming pool.
"I was only too keen to try and do what I could to try and help secure its long-term future, and I would like to express our gratitude to Afton Water Leisure for keeping the original pool open against the odds. It's certainly looking decidedly splendid now.
"We pondered how best we could officially open the pool.
"Tartan swimming trunks and the unveiling of an underwater plaque on the bottom of the pool was one suggestion, but we disregarded the idea of me jumping in and thought it seemed more important to recognise the local people."
He was joined in unveiling the plaque by Georgette Fulton, who worked at the pool when it opened, starting as a cleaner and ending up as head lifeguard.
Her name is also on the plaque alongside that of the prince.
She said: "It is looking fabulous, beyond any of our expectations.
"In the old days it looked like a prison camp with grey walls and barbed wire on top to keep out the midnight bathers, and it was very, very cold.
"I could not believe it when the prince asked me up onto the stage and to see my name up there on the plaque.
"I just hope that everybody has the same enjoyment out of the pool as we did."
The new-look pool, designed in a "lido" style, has been made more energy-efficient and given a significant facelift through a construction project which started in September 2016 and finished this month.
Mr Scott, who lives in Stirling but grew up in the Kilmarnock area, hopes the pool will encourage people into the sport.
The swimmer, who is preparing for the World Championships in Budapest in around eight weeks' time, said: "Without a pool you cannot swim, so for participation with youngsters, the more pools there are the higher participation is going to be, so this getting a massive refurbishment is only going to be a good thing."
Since Dumfries House in East Ayrshire was saved for the nation in 2007 by a consortium led by the prince, it has provided "heritage-led regeneration" for the local community.
Through the Dumfries House Outreach Programme, the charity has led and been involved in a number of projects including the rejuvenation of New Cumnock Town Hall.
Entrepreneur Sir Tom, from Ayrshire, a supporter of the outreach programme, is pleased with the transformation of the pool and hopes it will help the community.
He said: "I think it's amazing.
"The last time I was here I was probably ten-years-old and I've spent many a happy time in New Cumnock pool.
"Communities used to be built around work, and the work was the pits, and now there's no more work as such, you have to build it round a football team, a swimming pool, a town hall, it has to be built around the people.
"So, hats off to Prince Charles and his leadership, and to Bob and Tamar Manoukian for supporting it."

Chris Randle loses his voice but not his passion to give back to the community with a free youth football camp in Merced on Saturday at Veterans Stadium. (

Question: Hate the IRS this Tax Day? Blame Abe Lincoln (and maybe the New York Times).

This news article should be represented to find a fitting news title

Abraham Lincoln is remembered for leading during the Civil War, freeing the nation's slaves, founding land grant colleges and becoming the first commander in chief assassinated in office.
Given all that, perhaps there just isn't room in the country's collective memory to recall his seminal role in creating the country's most despised and vilified government agency: The Internal Revenue Service.
It was 1861. Lincoln was in a financial bind. Also, he was in a war. To raise money to fight the Confederacy, Lincoln pushed for and won passage of an income tax and, a year or so later, established the Internal Revenue Bureau to collect what was owed.
Though Lincoln's tax was struck down by the Supreme Court in 1895 – the 16th Amendment, passed in 1913, created the income tax we endure today – historians and legal scholars credit the 16th president, a moderate Republican, with laying the foundation for progressive taxation enforced by the tax man.
These days, the people who know that wield it as political artillery.
What almost nobody remembers is how the New York Times' editorial page, derided by President Donald Trump and other modern-day Republicans, supported Lincoln and the income tax, particularly because the rich owed more.
People with incomes of less than $600 paid nothing. People who made more than $600 but less than $10,000 paid a 3 percent tax. Those with incomes above $10,000 paid a 5 percent tax. Luxury taxes were also imposed on tobacco, whiskey, cattle stock and other material and consumption desires of the wealthy. (Proposed taxes on watches, pianos and dogs were eliminated before passage of the income tax law.)
Editorial writers at the Times seemed pleased.
"The income taxes are so framed as to place the heaviest burthen upon that portion of the people who have the largest material stake in the country and the nearest interest in the integrity, public faith and lasting stability of the Government; the men of money and of productive stocks and other income paying securities," the Times wrote on March 4, 1862, using grammar and spelling that no longer make sense.

The Times also noted that an income tax would encourage citizens (at least the male ones) to be less tolerant of government corruption, perhaps laying the foundation for the investigative reporting that sprang up in newspapers after the Civil War.
"When every man in the community – every man in the United States – finds he must put his hands into his pocket and draw out a portion of his hard-earned gold and silver to deliver to a Government agent, he will not be indifferent any longer to how that money goes," the Times wrote. "If it is stolen by the Collector, or squandered by Congress through lobby legislation, or sequestered by Cabinet officers through nepotism in contracts, the people who have paid will know it, and they will know how to punish."
The Times was not totally in the tank for taxes, though. For one thing, the editorial page opposed taxes on newspapers. "It is certainly remarkable that republican American should impose a tax upon newspapers, the great educators in modern times," the paper said. That seems fairly self-centered until reading what else the newspaper opposed, such as taxes on locomotion.
"Social intercourse between people composing a nation is essential to domestic harmony," an editorial said. "To Southern soldiers captured on the battle field, the Northerners are simply monsters. The moment the two mingle, they cannot possibly see what they are fighting for. People living at a distance are always, in imagination, enemies of each other."
Wishful thinking. Thanks, Abe.

Question: UN envoy: Gaza escalation shows we are on the 'brink of war'

Represent the article to find a fitting news title

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — The U.N. Mideast envoy says the latest escalation in Gaza between its Hamas rulers and Israel is a warning of "how close to the brink of war we are every day."
Nikolay Mladenov told an emergency Security Council meeting on Wednesday that the international community should "unequivocally condemn" Hamas' rocket and mortar attack against Israel.
But he said "the dangerous escalation" can't be divorced from two months of protests at the Gaza fence in which some 110 Palestinians were killed and large numbers injured by Israeli fire.
The Security Council remained paralyzed, unable to agree on any action.
U.S. Ambassador Nikki Haley, who called the meeting, said a proposed statement to condemn the Hamas attacks was blocked. The U.S. previously blocked three statements to condemn Israeli killings during the protests.

Germany condemns Hamas and Islamic Jihad following barrage of more than 80 rockets and mortars on southern Israel.
Germany on Wednesday condemned the Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorist groups after they fired a barrage of more than 80 rockets and mortars from Gaza toward southern Israel.
“Germany unequivocally condemns the escalation of violence. There is no justification, under any circumstances, for the continuation of the massive mortar attack on Israel from Gaza,” said a statement from the German embassy in Israel.
“Especially malicious was the firing of a large portion of the rockets at Israeli cities and communities exactly during the hours of heavy traffic when people go to work. As a result of that barrage, a kindergarten was hit, among others. We wish the wounded a speedy recovery. It is Israel’s right to (preserve) its security, defend its borders and respond proportionately to attacks,” it added.
The IDF delivered struck dozens of Hamas and Islamic Jihad terror targets on Tuesday night in retaliation for the rocket fire. One of the targets destroyed was a terror tunnel stretching 900 meters into Israeli territory.
The rocket attacks have been widely condemned by world leaders. English Minister of State for the Middle East and North Africa Alistair Burt wrote on Twitter, Indiscriminate attacks against civilians, especially those that risk killing or injuring children, are completely unacceptable under any circumstances.”
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau issued a similar condemnation.
"Israel has every right to defend itself against these deplorable attacks by the terrorist groups Hamas and Islamic Jihad. Our thoughts are with everyone affected today," he tweeted.
The European Union also condemned the continuing rocket and mortar fire from Gaza.
“The rocket and mortar fire by Palestinian militants from Gaza towards Israel must stop immediately. Indiscriminate attacks against civilians are completely unacceptable under any circumstances,” said an EU statement.
“A de-escalation of this dangerous situation is urgently needed to ensure that civilians' lives are protected. Israelis and Palestinians both have the right to live in peace, security and dignity: the cycle of violence and despair has to be broken with a genuine political process,” the statement continued.
A similar condemnation came from Austria, whose government spokesman tweeted, “Mortar attacks against kindergartens and the civilian population of Israel is certainly not the way to solve any of Gaza's problems and must stop immediately.”
He stressed that “Austria is fully committed to Israel's security.”


Question: Pakistani military: Roadside bombing kills 2 soldiers

PESHAWAR, Pakistan — Pakistan's military says a roadside bombing has killed at least two soldiers and wounded three in the country's northwestern tribal region that borders Afghanistan.
A military statement says that Wednesday's bombing took place in the Datta Khel area of North Waziristan.
It says the bomb exploded as a vehicle ferrying soldiers drove near it. The casualties were transported to a military hospital in Peshawar, the capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.
The tribal region was a sanctuary for militants until several massive military operations claimed to have pushed them out of the safe havens. The army claims to have cleared the area but militants in North Waziristan sporadically strike back, targeting security forces.

Question: N.L. village wants to get rid of dead whale, fast

This news article should be represented to find a fitting news title!

ST. JOHN'S, N.L. — A tiny Newfoundland village is hoping to quickly remove the massive body of a humpback whale that has been stuck there since last fall, fearing the impending odour and mess as warmer weather approaches.
The whale's body was frozen and covered with snow for the winter months in Nameless Cove, but has become an urgent issue for the village.
Hank Diamond, a member of the local service district committee, says Nameless Cove is waiting on a price quote from contractors, and is hoping for provincial assistance.

Question: Sylvester Stallone making biopic about boxer Jack Johnson

NEW YORK — Days after the presidential pardon of Jack Johnson, Sylvester Stallone has announced plans for a biopic on the first African-American heavyweight champion.
Stallone said Wednesday that his newly launched Balboa Productions will start with a film about Johnson. On Thursday, Stallone stood next to President Donald Trump in the Oval Office as he signed a rare posthumous pardon to Johnson, who served 10 months in prison in what Trump called "a racially-motivated injustice."
Trump has said Stallone was instrumental in bringing Johnson's story to his attention.
Stallone's production company said the film will be fast-tracked with Metro Goldwyn Mayer Pictures.

Question: Santana sorry for saying Beyonce is 'not a singer'

Carlos Santana has angered the Beyhive.
The legendary guitarist seemingly dissed Beyonce in an interview with Australian media following the Grammys Sunday night when he said Beyonce was "very beautiful to look at" but "not a singer, singer."
Santana says he was only trying to congratulate Adele on her big win for Album of the Year when he made the statement.
In the interview, Santana told the Australian Associated Press, "I think that Adele won because she can sing sing...With all respect to our sister Beyonce, Beyonce is very beautiful to look at and it's more like modelling kind of music – music to model a dress – she's not a singer, singer, with all respect to her."
He added: Adele “doesn’t bring all the dancers and props, she can just stand there and she just stood there and sang the song and that’s it, and this is why she wins.”
That statement did not go over well with the Beyhive.
"The fact that Carlos Santana said those comments after he's performed on stage with Beyonce at halftime and witnessed her talent is baffling," said one Twitter user.
"Carlos Santana is TRASH about those @Beyonce comments! Especially since he's one (won) all his Grammys for someone else's vocals!" said another.
Carlos Santana is TRASH about those @Beyonce comments! Especially since he's won all his Grammys for someone else's vocals!🚮 — Dominick Deveraux (@Sir_Deveraux) February 15, 2017
Santana clarified his stance on Facebook Tuesday , writing that his “intent was to congratulate Adele” and that his comment about Beyonce “was regretfully taken out of context.” He adds that he has “the utmost respect” for Beyonce.
"She deserves all the accolades that come her way."
-With files for the Associated Press

Solange Knowles has vented her anger at Beyonce being overlooked for the Album of the Year gong at this year's Grammys.
In a series of now-deleted tweets, the 30-year-old sister of Beyonce criticised the Record Academy for giving the night's most prestigious award to only two black artists since 1997.
Solange wrote: "There have only been two black winners in the last 20 years for album of the year. There have been over 200 black artist[s] who have performed."
Solange's statement was factually inaccurate as Lauryn Hill, OutKast, the late Ray Charles, and Herbie Hancock have all won the gong over the last 20 years.
However, the singer-songwriter continued with her rant after Beyonce's Lemonade album was overlooked in favour of 25 by Adele.
She said: "Create your own committees, build your own institutions, give your friends awards, award yourself, and be the gold you wanna hold my g's. (sic)"
Solange's criticism of the annual awards bash came after she came out in support of a Tumblr post from Grammy boycotter Frank Ocean, who took aim at the event's producer Ken Ehrlich and writer David Wild.
Solange wrote "Wuddup frank (sic)" next to a post which read: "I'm one of the best alive and if you're up for a discussion about the cultural bias and general nerve damage the show you produce suffers from then I'm all for it."

And Solange's obvious frustration was given further credence by Adele during her acceptance speech for the Album of the Year gong, when she admitted she thought Beyonce deserved the title.
The London-born star said: "I can't possibly accept this award, and I'm very humbled, and I'm very grateful and gracious."
"But my artist of my life is Beyoncé and this album, for me, the Lemonade album, was just so monumental."

Question: EU leaders urge Erdogan to ‘act with responsibility’

German chancellor Angela Merkel said Turkish leaders should open talks with opponents and the European Union after a narrow referendum victory, while the French government urged president Recep Tayyip Erdogan not to use the result to bring back capital punishment.
Merkel said both Germany and the EU will be seeking guidance from Erdogan on the consequences of the vote while calling on the Turkish leader to act with “responsibility”.
There needs to be talks about these issues as soon as possible with Turkey
Emmanuel Macron, the frontrunner to become France’s next president next month, said he sees no prospect of Turkey’s EU membership bid advancing in the near future.
Checks and balances
Erdogan on Sunday won support from 51.4 per cent of Turks for a package of constitutional changes that increase the powers of his office, and his supporters are demanding he use the result to bring back the death penalty. The Council of Europe, which Turkey belongs to, raised concerns that the changes may weaken checks and balances on the president.
“There needs to be talks about these issues as soon as possible with Turkey on a bilateral basis, as well as between Turkey and European institutions,” Ms Merkel and German foreign minister Sigmar Gabriel said on Monday in a joint statement. The tight outcome “means the Turkish government and president Erdogan personally need to take on a great responsibility”, they said.
Police pressure
Tana de Zulueta, the head of mission of the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE), said on Monday that some of Erdogan’s opponents were subjected to police pressure during the campaign and that freedom of expression was restricted, leading to an “unlevel playing-field”.
The French foreign ministry called on Turkey to respect the European Convention on Human Rights, which prohibits capital punishment, and said it would be assessing the OSCE’s conclusions. The ministry also echoed Germany’s call for Erdogan to open up dialogue with opposition groups within Turkey.
There will be no advance in Turkey’s EU membership in coming years
Belgian foreign minister Didier Reynders said bringing back the death penalty would end Turkey’s chances of joining the EU, in comments reported by the Belga news agency. Macron, battling to hang on to his advantage before the first round of France’s presidential election on Sunday, said he sees little chance of Turkey’s candidacy succeeding in any case.
“There will be no advance in Turkey’s EU membership in coming years,” Macron said in an interview with RMC radio.
Accession
EU rapporteur on Turkey Kati Piri, the lawmaker tracking developments in Turkey for the EU parliament, said before the result that the constitutional changes proposed would lead to the 28-nation bloc breaking off talks on Turkey’s accession if they were implemented without revisions, and suggested the vote hadn’t given a fair chance to Erdogan’s opponents.
EU Commission president Jean-Claude Juncker, also commenting before the result, said he would also analyse the independent observers’ assessment of the referendum and that the result will shape the EU’s approach to Turkish membership talks.
“The tight outcome of the referendum shows how deeply split Turkish society is,” Ms Merkel and Mr Gabriel said. “The German federal government expects the Turkish government to seek respectful dialogue with all political and societal powers in the nation after a tough referendum campaign.”
– (Bloomberg)

(CNN) US President Donald Trump has become the first Western leader to congratulate Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan for winning a controversial referendum that grants him far-reaching, largely unchecked powers.
Trump called the Turkish leader on Monday shortly after international monitors delivered a harsh verdict on the referendum on constitutional changes. They found that the opposition campaign had been restricted and the media coverage was imbalanced, and that the electoral authority had unfairly changed the rules after polls had opened.
Trump joins a short list of leaders who have openly congratulated Erdogan, including Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev and Saudi King Salman.
His congratulations stands in stark contrast to the more cautious tone adopted by European leaders and a statement issued by the US State Department, which acknowledged the results but warned against further repression by the Turkish government of the political opposition.
"We look to the government of Turkey to protect the fundamental rights and freedoms of all its citizens -- regardless of their vote on April 16 -- as guaranteed by the Turkish constitution and in accordance with Turkey's international commitments," the State Department said in a statement.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, left, and US President Donald Trump.
"Democracies gain strength through respect for diverse points of view, especially on difficult issues."
The Turkish government has been widely condemned by Western nations for its repression of opposition figures following a failed military coup last year.
Europe sends warnings
European governments struck a more cautious note.
"The tight referendum result shows how deeply divided Turkish society is and that means a big responsibility for the Turkish leadership and for President Erdogan personally," Germany's Chancellor Angela Merkel and Foreign Minister Sigmar Gabriel said in a joint statement, calling for a "respectful dialogue" in Ankara with the opposition and all parts of Turkish society.
Erdogan's margin of victory in the referendum was razor-thin. Despite a state of emergency and a widespread crackdown on dissent, he succeeded in persuading only 51.4% of voters to back his constitutional upheaval.
The French government said it would "follow with great care" the international monitors' final report in coming weeks, particularly in relation to a reported last-minute change of rules by the electoral boards to allow ballots that had not been officially stamped. The change has raise concerns of "ballot-stuffing" -- where extra votes are cast illegally to manipulate results.
"Only the Turks can decide their political organization. But figures already published show that Turkish society is divided on this planned important reforms," it said, calling for "a free and sincere dialogue" in Turkey among all components of political and social life.
Erdogan has lashed back at the OSCE international monitors' initial findings, telling them to "know their place," Reuters reports.
He said that Turkey did not "see, hear or acknowledge" the observer mission's reports and accused some European countries of showing more opposition to the constitutional changes than Turkey's own opposition parties.
Relations between Turkey and Europe's powerhouse nations have come under strain over Erdogan's comments that he would seek the restoration of the death penalty -- a move that would sink Turkey's long-stalled bid to join the European Union.
"We have said this over and over in my speeches. As I said this will come before the parliament and if it is passed from the parliament, I would approve this. I would confirm. Why? Because we do not have the authority to forgive the murders of our martyrs," Erdogan said at a rally Monday.

Question: Russia probes wouldn't expand if the Democrats win, Warner says

San Francisco: The top Democrat working on the Senate Intelligence Committee's Russia probe doesn't see his party ramping up investigations into Moscow's efforts to meddle in the 2016 election should they win control of Congress in November elections.
Americans "will be tired of it if this is not wound down in this calendar year," Senator Mark Warner of Virginia at the Recode Code Conference in California.
US Senator Mark Warner Photo: Bloomberg
Warner said members on the panel are being pushed in different directions: Republicans to end the probe and Democrats to conclude there was collusion between Russia and President Donald Trump's campaign.
"There's enormous pressure on some of the Republicans to say, 'Hey, you know, it's time to get this thing over, let's shut it down,'" Warner said. "On the other hand, on the Democratic side there's a lot of pressure to say 'Hey, you know, of course there is collusion, call this guy out as guilty tomorrow, don't wait for the process to finish."'
While the House Intelligence Committee has fractured along partisan lines, ending its investigation by issuing conflicting reports, Warner and Senator Richard Burr, the Senate committee's Republican chairman, have maintained a bipartisan effort.

Question: Report: Frustrated Cousins called Warriors to get deal done

DeMarcus Cousins was an emotional wreck and stunned no teams reached out to him as free agency wore on, so he took matters into his own hands, according to Marc Spears of the Undefeated.
I was shocked, Cousins told Spears. I didnt believe it. It was a rough, pretty emotional night.
Sensing he was in a desperate situation, Cousins told Spears he felt he had no choice but to call his agent, Jarinn Akana, at 5 a.m. Monday with a crazy plan: See if the Warriors were interested in signing him.
(Akana) was shocked, Cousins told the Undefeated. It was very insulting not to receive an offer. But I understand. I prepared myself for this.

The four-time All-Star center knew his stock was down as he recovers from a torn Achilles tendon, but he was nearing a $200 million deal before the injury and to not even get a sniff of an offer was a jolt.
It demanded some bold action.
Three hours later, Cousins he phoned Warriors general manager Bob Myers to see if Golden State wanted to use their taxpayers mid-level exception of $5.3 million on him.
This was my ace of spades, Cousins said. This was my chess move.
Much like Kevin Durant wanted to get a sense how Stephen Curry, Draymond Green, Klay Thompson and Andre Iguodala felt about him coming to the Warriors two years ago, Cousins called some Warriors stars after speaking with Myers.
Cousins told Spears he spoke with Durant, Curry and Green and they all were excited and ready to have the often-maligned center as their teammate.
Steph was so freaking excited, Cousins said. Every one of those guys was excited.
Although Cousins likely wont get to join the Warriors star-studded lineup until at least late December, hes also thrilled to find such a comforting NBA home.
I feel amazing, he told Spears. The crazy thing is it has been tough for me. But Im just happy to be with the champs.

Question: Japan approves contentious bill against planning crimes

TOKYO (AP) - Japan's ruling coalition pushed a contentious bill through parliament Thursday that makes it a crime to plan a crime.
The government of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said the new law, which criminalizes the planning of 277 serious crimes, is needed to prevent terrorism, especially with the Olympics coming to Tokyo in 2020.
Opponents warned that authorities could use the legislation to limit free speech and public protests.

Abe told reporters after the vote that the government wants to use the law in a proper and effective way to protect people's lives and property.
A sizeable crowd protested outside parliament as upper house lawmakers hotly debated the bill Wednesday. Opposition parties used delaying tactics, with the jockeying continuing into the early morning hours.
In the end, the upper house approved the bill after the ruling Liberal Democratic Party and its coalition partner Komeito took the unusual step of bypassing committee approval, which normally precedes a vote by the full house.
The more powerful lower house passed the bill last month. At the time, opposition lawmakers in a lower house committee tried to rip documents from the hands of the chairman to prevent a committee vote.
The U.N. special rapporteur on the right to privacy, Joseph Cannataci, sent an open letter to Abe in May raising concerns over the bill. The letter expressed "serious concern" that the bill could affect the right to privacy and other freedoms if broadly applied.
Yoshihide Suga, the chief cabinet secretary of Abe's government, called the concerns "utterly incorrect."

TOKYO (Reuters) - Japan plans to ease restrictions on unskilled foreign workers in five sectors hit hard by labor shortfalls, the Nikkei business daily said on Wednesday, as the country confronts the challenges of a shrinking and aging population.
The government hopes to attract more than 500,000 foreign laborers to nursing, shipbuilding, lodging as well as construction and agricultural industries by around 2025, the newspaper said.
Prospective foreign workers in those sectors can acquire work permits for up to five years by passing occupational and Japanese language tests starting next April, in which they will be required to demonstrate they are capable of understanding slow conversations and conducting basic tasks, the paper said.
A strengthening economy since Prime Minister Shinzo Abe took office in 2012, rebuilding after the 2011 tsunami, a construction boom ahead of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and a shrinking and aging population have aggravated Japan's labor shortage.
A ban on unskilled foreign workers has raised concerns the labor crunch would cap economic growth in the world's third-largest economy.

The government also plans to allow those in the country's "trainee" program, designed to share technology with developing countries, to remain in Japan after the completion of the program and work for a maximum of five years, the Nikkei said.
Asked about the report, Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga told a regular news conference the government was looking at new ways to attract foreign workers, but that they would not be targeted at unskilled workers.
"We are making consideration so that basic policy direction on a new framework to allow in foreigners with a certain level of specialty and skills will be reflected in the economic policy guidelines," Suga said.
"But this is not a step to allow in so-called unskilled workers."
The economic policy guidelines are scheduled to be compiled in June.

Question: Zero tolerance for pot use with drivers: report

represent this text to find a news title for it

There should be zero tolerance for pot use by drivers or their passengers, a new report by the Canadian Mental Health Association Ontario branch recommends.
The report, Cannabis Legalization and Regulation, also says that all marijuana revenue should go to fund mental health and addiction services, and that the minimum age to purchase the product should be 19 years old.
“The risk is that legalization of cannabis may lead to an increase in use among Ontarians,” Camille Quenneville, CEO of CMHA Ontario, said in a statement Monday. “When taken together, our recommendations can minimize the harms associated with cannabis use and support a public health approach to this issue.”
As the Justin Trudeau government gets set to legalize pot by July 2018, CMHA Ontario prepared a report for the provincial government with recommendations on how to go forward.
The report says marijuana legalization should be viewed through a public health lens.
CMHA Ontario anticipates an increased need for mental health and addiction support services with legal pot, especially for youth and heavy consumers “ranging from brief interventions for at-risk users to more intensive interventions,” as well as extensive public education campaigns.
The “most concerning” issue is driving high, with data already showing that an estimated 10.4 million vehicle trips a year involve a motorist that had used marijuana, the report says.
Testing for drug-impaired driving may not accurately reflect the level of impairment, it says.
“Because the technology to detect an individual’s level of impairment due to cannabis is still in development at this time, CMHA Ontario recommends a zero-tolerance policy for cannabis consumption in any motorized vehicle in order to ensure road safety during this time of transition,” the report says. “A zero-tolerance policy would include both the driver of the motorized vehicle, as well as any passengers in the car. It is important that a clear message be sent to the public as soon as possible regarding zero tolerance for impaired driving due to cannabis use.”
While the Canadian Medical Association, which represents the nation’s doctors, called for a minimum legal pot-buying age of 21, CMHA Ontario suggested the lower age of 19.
“Frequent cannabis use can harm a developing brain and there is no evidence that supports a specific age when cannabis use is safe for young people,” the report says. “However, there are concerns that a higher minimum age may contribute to young people accessing cannabis from illegal sources. Establishing a higher minimum age standard will be less effective in undermining the black market, and may leave youth both criminalized and reliant on it.”

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) – The U.S. News & World Report has awarded a five-star rating to the Mary Free Bed’s Sub-Acute Rehabilitation program, earning the facility a spot on the list of 2017-2018 “Best Nursing Homes.”
“The rating is a reflection of patient rehabilitation outcomes and the way we deliver care,” said Leslie Shanlian, administrator of the Mary Free Bed Sub-Acute Rehabilitation program. “Only 28 percent of Michigan’s 444 skilled nursing facilities attained a five-star rating. The average in Michigan is 3.4. We’re delighted with this news.”
Of the more than 15,000 nursing homes analyzed by U.S. News, only a percentage qualified as “best nursing home.” The report uses the rankings to help people make informed decisions concerning health care.
This is not the first national rating for the Mary Free Bed Sub-Acute Rehabilitation program. Earlier this year, it was also awarded a five-star rating from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), based on on health inspections, staffing and quality of medical care.
West Michigan had a total of five nursing homes named as top-performers.
Partnering with Trinity Health Senior Communities, the Mary Free Bed Sub-Acute Rehabilitation program provides short-term inpatient rehabilitation to patients recovering from an injury, surgery or illnesses including:
Multiple injuries, including complex fractures
Stroke
Amputation
Cancer
Heart attacks and cardiac surgery
General weakness or deconditioning after illness or surgery

Taylor Swift has kept a relatively low profile while her sixth studio album Reputation tops the charts and her fans gobble up a holiday helping of confessional new music. Over the weekend, however, Swift made an exception by performing at the Jingle Bell Ball in London.

Her headlining set included a combination of hits from 1989 and Reputation including “Blank Space” and “Shake It Off” from the former. From the latter, Taylor performed “Gorgeous,” “Look What You Made Me Do” and “…Ready For It?” For good measure, Swift threw in a solo rendition of her duet with Zayn Malik: “I Don’t Wanna Live Forever.”
The performance followed almost a month after her November 11 appearance on Saturday Night Live. Other acts at the Jingle Bell Ball included Ed Sheeran and Liam Payne.
Watch Taylor perform “Ready For It,” “Gorgeous” and “Look What You Made Me Do” below:

Question: This 8-bit retro video game mix will have you sweatin' to the oldies

Chris Lawhorn, a DJ and fitness blogger for Style and The Huffington Post recently dropped two sets of 8-bit goodness featuring 35 minutes of MIDI magic.
After receiving a CD of 8-bi video game music, Lawhorn says he was instantly transported.
I gave the CD a listen in the car, which was surreal, as it made me feel like I was in a driving game. For ages afterward, I would put it on for friends while running errands because it made you feel as if you were racing around the city — even if you were just cruising to the grocery store.
This left Lawhorn wondering if it could work as a workout mix. It makes sense, classic video game characters were often running, jumping, and generally racing against time while collecting power-ups in seemingly never-ending levels. What struck him, though, was how much pleasure the characters seemed to take in moving.
And he’s right, Mario, for example, doesn’t seem the least bit perturbed his controller-wielding overlords aren’t willing to give him a five minute breather.
The first mix is a traditional MIDI set featuring the kind of tunes you probably grew up hearing on Super Mario Bros. or Sonic the Hedgehog.
The second adds the retro feel of a classic video game while mixing it with some modern EDM beats.
Whether this improves your workout or not is questionable, but for $10 you can grab both the modern and classic version of Lawhorn’s mixes, and even better, all proceeds go to charity.
You can grab them here. And if you don’t like them, there’s even a money back guarantee.

South Dakota gamer and musical artist NakeyJakey (a.k.a. “snakeboy229“), who loves “creating videos about games for hot boys and gamer girls,” did just that by releasing an amusing video where he gives us a history lesson on the art of video game loading screens.
Loading screens suck, but they don’t always have to. Let’s hear it for video games everybody.
