Highly acclaimed guitarist GUS G. has announced that he is set to release his new album, titled "Fearless", on April 20th. "Fearless" is the successor to 2015's "Brand New Revolution" and marks the FIREWIND mastermind's first release since exiting Ozzy Osbourne's band in 2017.
Pre-order "Fearless" in the AFM webshop now!
https://shop.afm-records.de/gus-g./
Available as CD, Digipak, ltd. colored Vinyls & super limited (100 units only!) exclusive white/blue splatter Vinyl!
On "Fearless" Gus joins forces with vocalist/bassist Dennis Ward (Pink Cream 69/Unisonic) and drummer Will Hunt (Evanescence, Black Label Society).
"Dennis and I have collaborated very closely for a number years, he produced the current Firewind album Immortals, among other things. We're on the same musical wavelength and simply continued our cooperation after the Firewind production," Gus describes his relationship with the multitalented German-American. "I sent him demos of and ideas for my new songs and once we had enough material and started to think about vocalists, Dennis suggested recording the album as a trio. A lot of people don't realise that Dennis is not only a brilliant songwriter, bassist and producer but also an excellent singer. I immediately liked his suggestion because this would be very different from everything else I've done before."
"Will was at the very top of my wish list. Fate smiled on me because we played at the Frankfurt music fair 2017 during my tour with Steve Stevens, and Will stayed at the same hotel. So I approached him, we talked for a while and he agreed. Last August he came to the studio and recorded the drum parts for the whole album within two and a half days. A real pro with a great groove and an awesome punch."
Which applies not only to Hunt and Ward, but of course also to Gus G. himself, who once again proves to be a phenomenal guitarist on "Fearless", presenting technical skills which exclude all possibility of doubt and a compositional talent that allows his fellow musicians to shine. Hard-as-nails metal tracks such as the opener 'Letting Go', 'Mr Manson', which is driven by a dark bass/guitar riff, and the subsequent melodic 'Don´t Tread On Me' immediately propel the new album into the desired direction. At the same time, the three instrumental songs give listeners an idea of the outstanding talent of the 37-year-old who is easily on a par with George Lynch ('Mr. Scary') and Michael Schenker ('Into The Arena'). "A lot of fans have asked me to record more instrumental tracks. Voilà, here they are," grins Gus. Last but not least, the successful cover versions of the Dire Straits classic 'Money For Nothing', which surprises with an unusual change of key after the noteworthy intro, deserves a mention. But it's certainly not the only surprise that this amazing album holds in store!

Hannah Saunders | Jan 23, 2023 | California
With a growing number of childless adults in the United States not expecting to ever have children, Los Angeles's Cedars-Sinai hospital is respecting the bodily choices of people with uteruses by offering surgical permanent contraception, or tubal ligation.
A Pew Research Center study shows that 44% of non-parents aged 18 to 49 years say it is not too likely, or not likely at all, that they will ever have children, which is a 7% increase from those who said the same in a 2018 survey. The study also shows that 74% of adults who are younger than 50 and already parents say they are unlikely to have more children.
According to the Pew study, reasons for not wanting children include financial, medical, and environmental (such as climate change) reasons, age, and not having a partner. But the majority (56%) of non-parents younger than 50 years say they simply do not want to have children.
"We are experiencing a significant increase in requests for consultations about the option of permanent contraception from women who want to remain child-free. They are expressing serious concern about their ability to have control over their reproductive health," said Dr. Natasha Schimmoeller, surgical gynecologist at Cedars-Sinai Family Planning Program.
When the US Supreme Court overturned the landmark Roe v. Wade decision last summer, which guarantees individual rights to abortions, California brought forth legislation to protect in-state providers and out-of-state patients. To continue work towards protecting reproductive rights, the state issued funds on January 5th to increase the number of providers offering reproductive healthcare services.
One of Schimmoeller's areas of expertise is tubal ligation, which is the surgical removal of fallopian tubes to prevent pregnancy, and has long been offered immediately after childbirth to people who don't plan to have more children. The procedure is historically less available for women who intend to never become pregnant.
"Most OB-GYNS don't do these surgeries because they worry about the risk of regret," Schimmoeller said. "This is the only field in all of medicine where regret is so emphasized—it's very gendered."
When tubal ligation is not performed immediately after someone has given birth, it's a 30-minute laparoscopic surgery, where two small incisions (as small as three millimeters) are made on either side of the abdomen near the hips, and one inside of the belly button in order to remove the fallopian tubes.
Removing fallopian tubes eliminates the bridge for the sperm to reach the ovaries. Unlike hysterectomies, which is the removal of the uterus, tubal ligations do not touch the uterus or ovaries. As a result, individuals will still menstruate and their hormones will remain the same. Many who undergo the surgery take over-the-counter pain medication for several days, and return to normal activities and work in a week.
"For our team, offering permanent contraception to anyone who seeks it is [a] principle-based practice of medicine," Schimmoeller said. "I can give objective scientific data in my role as a doctor and surgeon, but the ultimate sign of respect is that I believe that you know your life the best."
Cedars-Sinai is one of the only facilities in the country that prioritizes this procedure for individuals who never want to have children. Appropriate candidates include anyone who is certain they do not want to have children. Medicaid requires individuals to be at least 21 years, while private insurance requires people to be at least 18 years old. About 25% of Schimmoeller's patients identify as transgender or nonbinary.
"If people change their mind, they can still do in vitro fertilization to try to get pregnant. This field—women's reproductive health—is the only one of all medicine in which the possibility of future regret is so heavily emphasized," Schimmoeller said.
The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists suggests physicians should counsel those seeking tubal ligation about the permanence of the procedure, but moreso, should respect the individual's right to make decisions about their bodies when they're confident that it will benefit them.

The Devs started the Arms race with the stupid dice pools they gave hosts. Rating 8 Host has 19 Dice in it's best stat.
Yes a Rating 8 Host is supposed to be rare and tough, but you need to succeed at 3 or 4 opposed rolls in a row.
"I only fail when it's really hard" isn't exactly what most PCs are looking for.
It's a fair point that hackers do tend to need bigger dice pools because of the need to succeed on more tests than the gunbunnies need to succeed on to win a combat.
Still, whether you can't be seen with 16 dice or you can't be seen with 20 dice or you can't be seen with 24 dice, the Host goes on alert at GM's whim/discretion anyway. It only takes one hit on an unopposed (i.e. your dice pool is irrelevant) perception test to know there's a silent running icon in the host. BAM that's potentially all it takes for a GM to say the whole damn facility goes on red alert, if he's got a mind to.
...Vilolet's deck was already modded to include a programme carrier and Vectored Signal Filter the latter which improves noise cancellation by +2 as the CZ also has an ambient rating 2 noise factor. One can only add a second module slot to a deck. Data Anomaly has one small drawback in that sprites can spot you as if you were not running silently at all. Wonderful if it was a fault sprite.
Ditto, but that all depends on the Host. Most Missions seem to have ghost towns for Hosts so hackers stick out.
And a Hacker should be in and out of a Host pretty quick. In, find the thing, hack the thing, leave. If your plan involves hacking several things in a moderate to high rating host, you need a new plan. Even a Rating 5 host is tossing 12ish dice and will potentially run your Overwatch score up fast.
If the GM decides the Spider or IC does the "Check for Silently Running Icons" every few Seconds... yeah, the Host is going on Alert. Absolutely nothing a PC can do about it, which is why GMs shouldn't do that and should be using the Data Trail chart on p. 86 to search specifically for the Hacker with an opposed Matrix Perception roll. And also because the "Check the area for Silently Running Icons" is a hot mess of a rule and should be ignored, and the standard Matrix Perception Action should be used in all cases.
...generally deckers I've seen in my years of missions play don't go directly up against a host (unless it is pretty weak), but instead look for that "back door" through a slaved device to sidestep the firewall and host rating, as yes, one needs to perform multiple tests usually to do what he or she does in the system. Tests and matrix actions are also linked to skills other than hacking (like Computer and Electronic Warfare) and are capped by deck attributes (Limit) so one isn't going to necessarily be using his or her highest pool to perform the task or have use of all hits rolled unless pre-edging. Therefore all the more important to find that back door as a decent rating host can have a higher limit as well as dice pool than the decker.
Instead of Data Anomaly I would think Ninja Vanish would be a more helpful quality as should things get too hot to handle, you are out.
There is no "Back Door" for Edit file. It's all Host baby. Control Device, Direct access is certainly an option. Usually Direct Access is the best way to get into a host, and open Elevators or unlock doors. But for Files, big dice pools is it.
...aiding the team is what I am referring to. As long as there isn't a data steal or insertion as a requirement of the mission, no need to deal directly with the host.
One can also gain access through terminals as well (seen it done on several occasions), which does bypass the firewall.

The University of Genoa, known also with the acronym UniGe (Italian: Università di Genova), is one of the largest universities in Italy. It is located in the city of Genoa and regional Metropolitan City of Genoa, on the Italian Riviera in the Liguria region of northwestern Italy. The original university was founded in 1481.
According to Microsoft Academic Search 2016 rankings, the University of Genoa has high-ranking positions among the European universities in multiple computer science fields:
in machine learning and pattern recognition the University of Genoa is the best scientific institution in Italy and is ranked 36th in Europe;[1]
in computer vision the University of Genoa is the best scientific institution in Italy and is ranked 34th in Europe;[2]
in computer graphics the University of Genoa is ranked 2nd institution in Italy and 35th in Europe.[3]
The University of Genoa has a strong collaboration with the Italian Institute of Technology (IIT), since its foundation in 2005.
The University of Genoa is currently setting up a big project for a new Faculty of Engineering within the Erzelli Great Campus science technology park, in the Western side of Genoa. The contracts were signed in October 2018, the final project should be released in 2019, the construction works should start in 2020, and the new faculty should open in 2023.[4]
The university of Genoa since its foundation has delivered 46 Gold medals to the italian students, and 2 gold medals to the International students, specifically to the Israeli student Khor hoksari in 1993, and to the Albanian student Agasi Bledar in 2021, It has delivered 122 honoris titles to its alumni, and has been part of a continuos public opening in the last 20 years.

Campus[edit]
The University of Genoa is organized in several independent campuses located in different city areas. Notable buildings are the main University premises (Via Balbi, 5) designed by the architect Bartolomeo Bianco and built in 1640, the new complex in Valletta Puggia, built in the 1980s and 1990s and hosting the Departments of Chemistry, Computer Science, Mathematics, and Physics, and the new seat of Facoltà di Economia, realized in 1996 by refurbishing old seaport docks. The University's botanical garden, the Orto Botanico dell'Università di Genova, occupies one hectare in the city center, just above the University's main building.
University of Genoa also has a number of regional campuses in Savona, Imperia, Santa Margherita Ligure, Ventimiglia and La Spezia.
Already in the 13th century in Genoa there were Colleges which conferred degrees in law, theology, medicine and arts.
The College of Theology was established officially in 1471 with a Papal Bull of Sixtus IV (Francesco della Rovere). Some years after dates the promulgation of a Statute of the College of Medicine by the Council of the Elders in 1481.
In 1569, by a decree of the Senate of Republic of Genoa, the Colleges were incorporated into the schools run by the Jesuits. The Jesuits settled near the old Church of San Girolamo Del Rosso, and enlarged their premises by buying some land on which to house their College and schools. The building, which is now the main University premises, was designed by the architect Bartolomeo Bianco, and began to be used in 1640.
After the suppression of the Society of Jesus in 1773, a special Committee reorganized the various courses of study, dividing them in higher education (Canon Law, Philosophy, Civil Law, Theology, Logic and Metaphysics, Physics) and primary education (courses in Rhetoric, Reading and Writing).
After the establishment of the French Empire, which absorbed the Republic of Genoa, higher education was subdivided into different special Schools: Law, Medicine, Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Commerce, Language and Literature, Chemistry. The University of Genoa was affiliated to the Imperial University of Paris. It was reinstated as a separate university in 1812.[1]
After the fall of Napoleon, the provisional Government of the Republic appointed a new Committee in charge of higher education, and at the Congress of Vienna in 1815 it was decided that the University of Genoa be entrusted to the Kingdom of Sardinia, enjoying the same privileges as those granted to the University of Turin. The university was closed owing to political disturbances between 1821 and 1823 and again between 1830 and 1835.
In 1870, two first technical institutes of higher education were established: the Royal Naval School and the Royal School of Economic Studies, that in 1936 were absorbed by the Royal University of Genoa, becoming the Faculties of Engineering and Economics respectively.
In the late 20th century, the university expanded rapidly, with new regional campuses. In 1996 some departments were established in Savona within a remodeled Army Barrack area. That campus hosts the Department of Engineering and also courses in Business. New laboratories have been made in Simulation, Logistics & Industrial Engineering, among others.
In January 2001, an "Institutional Review of University of Genoa" was given by CRE Institutional Evaluation Programme. This evaluation, surveys taken and reports made, explain The University's current promotion of invitations to outside professorships and student body.
Organization[edit]
As of the academic year 2012-2013 the university is headed by a rector and it was divided into 5 schools, comprising a total of 23 departments:
School of Natural Sciences, Mathematics and Physics
Department of Chemistry and Industrial Chemistry (DCCI)
Department of Physics (DIFI)
Department of Mathematics (DIMA)
Department of Earth, Environmental and Life Sciences (DISTAV)

A Look At SMCSU Plans, Initiatives for 2018
February 6, 2018 July 7, 2019 3 min read
February's AGM aims to bring new initiatives and promote existing ones
Emily Barber ASSOCIATE NEWS EDITOR

The St. Michael's College Student Union's (SMCSU) Annual General Meeting (AGM), projected to take place this February, will usher in new and existing initiatives for University of St. Michael's College (USMC) students, and promises to keep students both informed and involved.
"SMCSU has been working hard since October to get things done either internally within the council, as well as with external affairs," SMCSU Vice-President Kate Strazds told The Mike. "As a council, we are collectively excited to continue to communicate with students and hope to continue our efforts to help strengthen the community within USMC."
SMCSU President Samantha Douek has created the new SMCSU website that is set to launch by the end of January. The council has also created new Facebook and Instagram accounts to help strengthen communication between students and the union that represents them.
Numerous events and initiatives have already taken place this year, including the various Winterfest events that took place January 8–12, football viewing events, Pizza and Board Games events, and Kelly's Korner.
Events planned for this semester will be released in a timetable that spans the rest of the 2018 term. They will include, but are not limited to, monthly Kelly's Korner and Pair-A-Dice collaboration events, Super Bowl and Olympic viewing parties, and pancake breakfasts. There is also a formal being planned for the end of the year amongst leaders at USMC.
In terms of logistics, the budget for the 2017–18 term will be made available to students and be open for discussion during the AGM in February.
In terms of job openings for SMCSU, the council has accepted applicants for the positions that were made available, and has made sure to reach out to the individuals who have expressed interest.
Council positions that were not filled in the October election include Vice-President of Religious Affairs, Vice-President of Athletics, and Vice-President of Finance. According to Strazds, "Since it is almost February, the council believes that creating committees in lieu of having another election before March will be a great way for students to get involved with SMCSU initiatives." Committees that SMCSU intends to create include a first-year committee and a formal planning committee.
When asked what students should keep in mind for this semester, SMCSU responded that they encourage students to stay posted for upcoming initiatives and collaborations on the horizon. The more students can communicate with the council to express what they are interested in or if they have any inquiries about the council, the better they can fulfill their job.
"Our job on SMCSU is ultimately to represent the great body of students from USMC," Strazds writes. "We hope to keep you engaged within the community, and plan initiatives that are devoted to improving your community and academic life on campus, while planning these initiatives by keeping equity in mind and finally executing these events with care and in an organizational manner."

Beginning Mathematica and Wolfram for Data Science
Applications in Data Analysis, Machine Learning, and Neural Networks
Enhance your data science programming and analysis with the Wolfram programming language and Mathematica, an applied mathematical tools suite. The book will introduce you to the Wolfram programming language and its syntax, as well as the structure of Mathematica and its advantages and disadvantages.
You'll see how to use the Wolfram language for data science from a theoretical and practical perspective. Learning this language makes your data science code better because it is very intuitive and comes with pre-existing functions that can provide a welcoming experience for those who use other programming languages.
You'll cover how to use Mathematica where data management and mathematical computations are needed. Along the way you'll appreciate how Mathematica provides a complete integrated platform: it has a mixed syntax as a result of its symbolic and numerical calculations allowing it to carry out various processes without superfluous lines of code. You'll learn to use its notebooks as a standard format, which also serves to create detailed reports of the processes carried out.

by CNN - February 24, 2010
London, England Like many people, widow Penny Lally plans to be buried alongside her family. But in her case, that includes a menagerie of family pets.
Her husband, John, who died of cancer three years ago at the age of 64, is already buried with their horse Super Sam, Blot the cat, Muppet the dog, and even Brian the bird.
"I often tell people that John has a canary singing in his ear, a cat purring at his feet, a dog at his side and a horse to ride on when he likes," Lally said. "I know some people might find this strange, but I loved my pets and wanted them all to be close to me and my husband and to each other."
Lally, 66, runs a pet crematorium and woodland burial place in Penwith, Cornwall, in southwestern England. She has buried more than 30 owners alongside their animals and has over 100 more plots reserved for pets and their owners, she said.
The idea of joint burials was first suggested to her by an elderly neighbour who died at the age of 77, a year before John's death, she said.
"Mrs. Winchcombe had seven cats and wanted to be buried with all of them when she died. It was certainly an unusual request," Lally said.
"We had to apply for permission to extend our license to burying humans as well as animals, but it was wonderful that we could carry out her last wishes."
Since then, Lally has seen an increasing number of pet owners in the UK seeking joint burials.
There are currently only half a dozen cemeteries in the UK that allow pets to be buried in the same plot as their owners, but in January, Lincolnshire council became the latest authority to grant planning permission for a joint site.
"I think there has been more interest recently because people are starting to realize it is possible," Lally said.
One of her customers is animal lover Carole Mundy, 54, who has reserved a plot for herself and her husband Robert next to their 17-year-old golden retriever, Dylan, who was buried at Penwith in 2008.
"I know it isn't conventional, but I'm so sick of people saying that 'it was just a dog or a cat,'" Mundy said.
"Animals give us unconditional love and I absolutely adore my pets. If people want to call me kooky I don't care."
The UK regards itself as a nation of animal lovers, so perhaps it is not surprising that there has been an increase in joint burials, but the practice is also on the rise in the United States.
"There has been a lot of interest from the public, who are asking funeral homes if they can have their pets buried with them," said Robert Fells of the International Cemetery, Cremation and Funeral Association in Virginia.
"It's still a relatively new concept, so whether it's a fad or an emerging trend, I'm not sure, but it's definitely on the rise," he said.
"We are seeing an increase in public interest," said Roberta Knauf, director of Hillcrest-Flynn Funeral Home in Pennsylvania. "The joint burial concept started in 2006, when a few people were interested -- but last year we had close to 70 joint burials in our cemetery."
In fact, the practice of people being buried with pets isn't new. It dates far back into British history when Anglo-Saxon nobles were buried with their possessions, which included their horses.
Even further back, the pharaohs of ancient Egypt would be buried with their mummified cats, dogs and monkeys, which they believed shared an afterlife with humans.
But after centuries of affiliation with the pagan gods of Egypt and Rome, pet rituals found little tolerance in the new Christian era.
"The more Christianity became institutionalized, the more animal practices were discouraged as it was accepted that humans were the only beings with souls," said Mary Thurston, a Texas-based anthropologist who specializes in the shared history of people and pets.
The director of the UK's Association of Private Pet Cemeteries and Crematoria said people should be buried as they see fit.
"When you pass away, it's important to have your wishes granted and people deserve to be buried in the manner they choose if they are not hurting anyone," Kevin Spurgeon said.
"My horse was such a good friend and by my side through the ups and downs of life," pet cemetery owner Lally said. "Like me, many others see their pets as part of the family and want to be together with them even in death."

Home Mac China more: why America dropped the Hong Kong
China more: why America dropped the Hong Kong
Apple removed from its App Store an application that allows you to monitor the movements of police in Hong Kong. Blizzard has removed from the tournament gamers, who spoke in support of the protesters. Despite the wave of criticism, the company has decided not to quarrel with China, putting in the forefront their income.
From App store app disappeared HKmap.live, which were actively used by residents of Hong Kong, reports The Verge. With it, the protesters who take to the streets in March of this year, monitored the movement of the police.
While Apple, which deliberately removed the service from your shop, claims that he broke the rules of the App Store.
"We created the App Store, so it was a safe and reliable place to search for apps. We learned that the application HKmap.live is used in such a way that endangers law enforcement and residents of Hong Kong. A large number of concerned clients from Hong Kong contacted us about this app and we immediately launched an investigation. The application displays the location of the police, and, as we have confirmed in Office of cyber security and technology crime Hong Kong, it was used for ambushes on police, have threatened public safety, and the criminals used it to persecute the inhabitants in those districts that were not law enforcement officers. This app violate our policies and local laws, so we removed it from the App Store" — said the press service.
The developer HKmap claims that the allegations by the cyber security Bureau in no way confirmed.
"App HKmap never encouraged criminal activity. HKmap combines information from the user and publicly available sources, such as streams of news, Facebook or Telegram", — said the representative of the service.
It also became known that the App Store app missing news portal Quartz, as it is widely covered the protests in Hong Kong. It is reported that the reason for the removal was a complaint from the Chinese authorities.
In addition, the site Quartz has become available to all residents of mainland China.
It is easy to see, what Apple supports in the conflict between Hong Kong people and Beijing. However, the "Apple" are not the first to go on about the Chinese authorities — for anybody not a secret that most of the production is Apple located in China, so the company has to comply with all requirements of and respond to criticism from the Chinese government. The US President Donald trump has long offered the cupertinos to move all the factories in America, but the company is extremely profitable in economic terms.
Another company that came out openly against the protesters of Hong Kong and supported by Beijing, became the developer and publisher of computer games Blizzard. This week professional player in Hearthstone Chun Ng Wai, who plays under the nickname "Blitzchung" during an interview after the match said the need to "liberate Hong Kong", as he hails from this city.
Shortly thereafter, Blizzard has removed him from games for a year and stripped of all prizes. This decision of the company, which, as expected, also has big plans for the Chinese market, has led to a barrage of criticism from both industry representatives and the American authorities.
"Blizzard has shown that they are willing to stoop, just to satisfy the Chinese Communist party. No American company should not drown out the calls for freedom for the sake of quick money," said the Senator from the Democratic party Ron Wyden in his Twitter.
Blizzard employees also expressed disagreement with the actions of management, gave a little protest at the California office. The company employees took to the streets to Express dissatisfaction with this approach to the freedom fighters. Special sharpness this situation adds the fact that one of the provisions of the policy Blizzard is the phrase "Every vote counts". Including it is embossed on the plate next to one of the offices of the company. After the incident with Chun Ng Vai the phrase stuck.
The confrontation between China and the United States is becoming more extensive as the trade added and others, analyst IK "freedom Finance" Alen Sabitov. This conflict confirms the thesis that the reason for initiation of the trump trade war is not declared, the trade deficit, and the struggle for leadership. In the end, hurts the economy and private business, as points of contact between the PRC and the United States in force on globalization of the world quite a lot.
"Recent examples in addition to cases removal app in the app Store, allows you to monitor the police in Hong Kong, and disqualification Blizzard eSports for their support of the protesters can recall the case with Nike. The recent comments of the representative of the basketball Association on issues of freedom of speech in China caused outrage and blocking the broadcasts of NBA games on Chinese television and platform Tencent. We are talking about a potential audience of 800 million viewers. In the end jeopardized, for example, sales of sports apparel Nike NBA symbolism that provoked the fall of the stock NKE 1.5% yesterday.
Such a sharp negative reaction reflects the dependence of many U.S. companies from the Chinese consumer.
Due to high growth rates above 6% for the past 20 years, China became the second largest economy in the world, is the second largest consumer market. For large us companies the development of the Chinese demand was one of the main drivers of revenue growth. For example, the share of revenues in China in five years, Apple grew from 16% to 20%, Nike 10% to 16%, Blizzard in General in Asia from 8% to 13%. So, it is not surprising that the deterioration of relations China and the United States so sensitive companies because of their dependence on the Chinese market has increased", — concluded the source "Газеты.Ru".

There is a lesson here for all, especially when purchasing expensive gear. Expensive is a relative term with a value that varies per individual and can't be generalized, the stuff being said here applies to all values of items. It comes down to how much value the item has to you and whether you are willing to risk that value versus the warranty programs being offered. Obviously the bigger the expense, the higher the risk.

We showed you Kia's Chinese-spec Sportage badged K5X with a completely redesigned front fascia yesterday. Having a country-specific product, especially in China, is not something new to global automakers and Kia has taken full advantage of it by infusing the latest trend of sleek headlamp package with a prominent grille section.
Kia calls the premium executive sedan, Cerato, being sold in international markets as the K3 in China and South Korea. A new version of the K3 is waiting to be unveiled soon in the Chinese market and thanks to the internet spies, the model has completely been revealed online.
Just as the KX5 ditching the familiar family face with Tiger Nose front grille, the new K3 has opted for a more interesting version. Instead of having a radical design change, the restyled sedan now features an aggressive face with the grille inspired by Maserati's Quattroporte.
It must be said that the redesigned front end does go hand-in-hand with the sleekness of the overall design but it will certainly raise eyebrows among Maserati enthusiasts. The grille can also be considered as a larger version of the Tiger Nose with two different inserts: one having an attractive triangular pattern and other with fifteen vertical slats.
The sweptback sharper headlamps with integrated LED DRLs, newly designed front bumper, reworked tail lamps graphics, faux dual exhaust system, red strip fitted in the middle of the horizontal tail lamps, repositioned turn signals and two sportier alloy wheel designs are other exterior changes in the Kia K3 sedan.
Reports suggest that the Kia K3 will be available in an updated engine range. The 2.0-litre naturally aspirated petrol powertrain and a 1.6-litre T-GDi turbocharged unit in the GT-spec variant are the popular choices. The Chinese market uses a 1.5-litre 115 hp and a 1.4-litre 130 hp producing engines. A 1.6-litre petrol-electric PHEV version will make 105 hp.

Jamaat-e-Islami Hind Women's Wing Secretary welcomes SC verdict in Hijab case
She added that the order of the Karnataka High Court can lead to Muslim women being excluded from education. This goes against the "stated policy of the government of including all communities and social groups in the path of progress and development."
New Delhi: National Secretary of the Women's Wing of Jamaat-e-Islami Hind (JIH) Rahamathunnissa has welcomed Supreme Court Justice Sudhanshu Dhulia's verdict in the Hijab case. She appreciated the top court's position reiterating that wearing a hijab is a matter of choice.
The JIH Secretary said that the organisation concurs with Justice Dhulia's remarks that the "Karnataka High Court took the wrong path" and that Article 15 is "a matter of choice, nothing more and nothing else." She also appealed to the judiciary to expedite the matter and said the ban has already deprived many girls of accessing education.
"It is already affecting many girls and depriving them of their fundamental right to attend college and study in the education stream of their choice," she said in a statement. Rahamathunnissa also appealed to the government of Karnataka to withdraw its controversial order in view of Justice Dhulia's observation and put an end to the unwarranted controversy.
She further said it is not the court's job to make decisions about essential religious practices of any religion and educational institutions should maintain neutrality and respect religious practices when deciding on dress code.
"We (JIH) are not against the practice of uniforms in educational institutions. However, publicly funded schools, while deciding the dress code, should maintain neutrality and respect for the religious and cultural practices of the concerned students. And the dress code should accommodate their religious principles, cultural leanings, and the voices of their conscience," said the secretary.
She added that the order of the Karnataka High Court can lead to Muslim women being excluded from education. This goes against the "stated policy of the government of including all communities and social groups in the path of progress and development." The JIH secretary emphasised that education is a crucial national priority and it demands a conducive atmosphere where all could pursue their education without being forced to make any compromise on their faith or conscience.

Special Biman flight returns with 10 survivors from Yangon
Arifur Rahman Rabbi
Published at 04:09 pm May 10th, 2019
Ten crash survivors return to Dhaka in a Biman special flight on Friday, May 10, 2019 Dhaka Tribune
The flight landed in Dhaka at 10:40pm
A special flight of Biman Bangladesh Airlines returned from Yangon, Myanmar last night with 10 people who were injured when a Yangon-bound Biman flight crashed while landing in the airport on Tuesday.
The special flight took off from Dhaka for Yangon at 4pm on Friday, and returned to Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport at 10:40pm.
Civil Aviation and Tourism State Minister Mahbub Ali, Secretary Md Mohibul Haque, Additional Secretary Md Mokabbir Hossain, and Biman's Acting Managing Director and CEO Captain Farhat Hassan Jamil received the returnees.
The returnees are two pilots, two cabin crew members, two ground engineers, and four passengers.
"The incident probably occurred due to bad weather, but we will not be able to confirm before the probe committee ends its investigation," said State Minister Mahbub, adding that Biman would organize for proper treatment of all victims.
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina is also closely following the matter, the state minister added.
Speaking to Dhaka Tribune, Shakil Meraj, general manager of Public Relations at Biman, said: "Five of the returnees will be admitted to the hospital for treatment, and the others will go home."
He further informed that two of the Bangladeshi passengers did not return because of work in Yangon.
"Biman will bear the treatment expenses of the foreign passengers being treated in Myanmar," Shakil added.
On Tuesday, 19 people were injured when a Biman flight, a Bombardier Dash 8 aircraft, skidded off the runway at the Yangon international airport.
Biman's Dash 8 contract to expire next year
There are currently three Dash 8 aircraft in the Biman fleet, which were leased out from Canada's Bombardier Inc.
Smart Aviation, the leasing company, brought the aircraft under an agreement with the Bangladesh government signed in February 2015. Biman added the aircraft to its fleet on April later that year.

As per the agreement, the lease will expire in April 2020.
Though the plane did not catch fire, it broke into three parts—with one of the wings damaged heavily, according official sources.
When contacted, Biman's Acting Managing Director and CEO Captain Farhat Hassan Jamil said they would know about the reason behind the accident after investigation. "We are currently investigating the incident," he added.
On January 25, the aircraft was sent to Hyderabad, India for maintenance. 15 days later, it again started facing problems on its way back to Bangladesh, according to Biman sources.
However, the pilot still risked flying the aircraft to Bangladesh instead of making an emergency landing at an Indian airport.
Technical glitches surfaced even after the aircraft landed at the Shahjalal International Airport in Dhaka, which were sorted out afterwards.
Biman cancels seven more domestic flights
In light of Tuesday's crash Biman Bangladesh Airlines grounded seven flights on domestic routes from Friday to Monday, Biman General Manager of Public Relations Shakil Meraj confirmed, while on Thursday, Biman had also cancelled three of its flights.
"Seven flights have been cancelled on the Dhaka to Syedpur, Sylhet, Jessore, and Rajshahi routes, till Monday," he said.
The flights were cancelled as a Boeing 737 was grounded for repair, while the Dash-8 aircraft involved in the Myanmar crash became ineffective.
Every year, Biman operates additional flights on domestic routes during Eid, to serve those who are commuting home. According to Shakil, Biman is set to hire two Boeing 737 aircraft to handle the added pressure following the grounding of the planes.
One of the aircraft was set to join the Biman fleet on Friday, while the other plane is expected to join on June 10.
"Once the two new aircraft join the fleet, there should be no problems for passengers," Shakil stated.

Sonile Pharoah Was Too Fat to Chase Jews (published Dec. 8, 1929)
Santa Monica, Cal, Dec. 6 (JTA) – The Jews who fied from ancient Egypt can thank their escape to the corpulence of Pharoah Merneptah, who carried too much avordupois to lead his people after the escaping Israelites. Such was the statement made here yesterday by Dr. Roy L. Moody, specialist in skin diseases, who has just returned from Egypt after making intensive studies of Egyptian mummies.
According to Dr. Moody, the Pharaoh was so senile at the time of the Exodus that he had to send his officers in pursuit of the Jews, and when they returned without the Jews, he was heart-broken.

The left-wing government in Greece -- facing national, municipal and European elections this year -- is planning to boost funding for social programs with the money eventually saved from the cheaper loan repayment, Tzanakopoulos said.
"The IMF loans are expensive, with an interest rate of 5.1% -- so that means we can lower debt servicing costs and we will have an increase in the fiscal space to help vulnerable groups in society," he told private News 24/7 radio.
But Tsipras said this could be avoided provided the country continues to achieve strong budget surpluses -- which have already allowed Athens to avoid new pension cuts initially agreed with creditors.

'Misfits Market' aims to tackle food waste
NEW YORK (FOX 5 NY) - Just because produce looks funny doesn't mean it isn't delicious and nutritious or that it should be thrown out.
That's the message being spread by Abhi Ramesh, the founder of Misfits Market, a subscription service that buys imperfect or excess organic produce from farms around the nation and sells it to customers for a fraction of what they'd pay at the grocery store.
"It's stuff that's too small, too large, maybe a little bit scarred of aesthetically unappealing, there may be too much of it and that produce goes to waste in thousands of farms across the country, so we rescue it, put it in household sized boxes and ship it directly to people's doorsteps," Ramesh said.
Ramesh says that the goal of Misfits Market is to help break the cycle of food waste in the United States. According to the USDA, Americans wasted approximately 133 billion pounds and $161 billion worth of food in 2010.
The smaller, "Mischief" box from Misfits Market costs just $19 a week, while the larger "Madness" box, with enough produce for roughly five people a week, costs $34. It has roughly 10,000 customers in the NY-Metro area already, and aims to ship its "funny-looking" produce nationwide in the near future.

The 11-track album marks a sharp turnaround from the characteristic energetic, uplifting music style the band has pursued since its debut in 2015. The record is led by the main track, "Poison: Fear," an R&B dance number, heavy with booming bass sounds. The song comes with a stronger-than-ever dance performance by the mob of 13 performers clad in black suits with bold jewelry.

"The track brings out Seventeen's darkest side that has not been shown before, describing internal fear as poison," the band's chief producer and member Woozi said in a press showcase for the album at a gym at Korea University in Seoul. He said that it would be "a major change" in Seventeen's music and concept. Woozi jointly composed and wrote the lyrics of the main song. Another notable song on "An Ode" is the first track, "Hit," a powerful EDM number composed by Woozi and K-pop solo artist Bumzu. "As the title indicates, the song carries a message of fighting to break out of the things that shackle us," Wonwoo of the band said. One of the goals the band has set for the latest album is "replaying core messages", according to member DK.

All 13 members were on the same page in staking everything they have on the new album. The band will not stop there but continue to work to expand the spectrum of its music, Woozi noted. Next month, Seventeen will start a world tour, "Ode to You." It kicks off in Osaka on Oct. 8 before moving to three other Japanese cities and then to Jakarta, Bangkok, Manila and finally Kuala Lumpur in February.

He's very well-matched with Sara M. Bruner's Mrs. Lovett, the amorous and, uh, "creative" pie shop owner who takes Todd in. Together, their barber-and-pie-shop plan serves up a well-fed (and ultimately too-closely-shaven) clientele, while giving them both what they want until the tragic climax.
It's hard to not be eclipsed by the role of Sweeney Todd, especially Ford's performance; however, Bruner holds her own incredibly well. Her Mrs. Lovett is racy, wild, and even tender.
Together, they were magnetic. I was on the edge of my seat – either in suspense or laughter – when they shared a scene.
A little bit steampunk, a little bit a lot Expressionist Horror film, the costumes, set and overall vibe of the production are a fun (and seasonally appropriate) take on Sweeney Todd. As director Victoria Bussert commented during the pre-show Director's Talk, there's lots of leather in this show.
Todd's floor-length black leather, strapped jacket in the first act, and then his red leather tails coat in the second are fantastic; while Judge Turpin and Beadle's stunningly lavish costumes establish the characters' excess and corruption immediately.
My love of Stephen Sondheim is well-entrenched. Assassins was the first show I worked on my freshman year at La Salle, where I was introduced to theatre. His scores are haunting and complex. They can also be incredibly challenging, not just for the actors, but for audiences.
Sweeney's songs feature a lot of overlapping lyrics. On the one hand, this speaks to the chaos of London and Todd's breakdown, but it can also prove difficult to understand at times. This was my fourth Sweeney and there are new things I pick up on each time.
Mic problems in the first act made it difficult to hear some of the songs. However, as it was the show's preview performance that we saw, wrinkles are to be expected and worked out before opening night. Most of it was resolved by the second act, which helped performances such as Chris Cowan's Tobias stand out later on. His "Not While I'm Around" surprised – and destroyed – me, in a good way.
Sweeney Todd runs through Nov. 2 in repertory with Shakespeare's Richard III. As with Great Lakes' other rep pairings, many of the actors perform in both. In this case, all but one actor are shared between the productions, which gives an audience member who sees both shows the chance to fully appreciate Great Lakes' impressive talent.
If possible, enhance your experience with a Salon Thursday or Saturday matinee pre-show discussion. The performance we attended included a Director's Night talk with director Victoria Bussert and Producing Artistic Director Charles Fee, which gave a behind-the-scenes glimpse at the production process. Visit greatlakestheater.org/calendar for performance days and times.
Disclosure: I was invited to attend the Social Media Night performance of Sweeney Todd in exchange for sharing my opinion about it on Twitter and other social media. I chose to blog about it and my opinions are 100% my own.

Violence Against Women Act: Safety in the Streets and At Home
"The struggle for women's rights, and the task of creating a new United Nations, able to promote peace and the values which nurture and sustain it, are one and the same. Today - more than ever - the cause of women is the cause of all humanity."
Those were the words of U.N. Secretary-General Boutros Boutros-Ghali before the Declaration on the Elimination of Violence Against Women was passed in 1993. A year later, the United States would pass the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA), joining global efforts to eradicate gender-based violence and inequality.
Violence Against Women Act
The Violence Against Women Act was co-sponsored by Senators Joe Biden and Orrin Hatch in 1994. VAWA addressed an array of crimes that were steadily increasing and keeping women from achieving their full potential, like domestic and dating violence, sexual assault, and femicide. The Act received bipartisan support in Congress.
During 1994, the U.S. Department of Justice estimated that there were 2.1 million intimate partner victimizations, defined as "abuse within the context of an intimate partner relationship" such as dating or marriage. This number had been steadily growing since the early 90s. The lack of resources for domestic violence and sexual assault survivors hurt survivors' mental health and added to medical and economic national concerns. As rates of domestic violence grew, so did medical debt, job instability, and homelessness. Recognizing that they could no longer continue to ignore women's well-being, Congress passed the Violence Against Women Act.
VAWA tackled issues of gender-based violence by providing a clear framework for preventing crime and pursuing justice. It established a complex collaboration between social service agencies, the criminal justice system, researchers, and non-governmental organizations. The U.S. Department of Justice and the Department of Health and Human Services allocate almost 500 million dollars every year to make the work of those different parties possible. Accordingly, the implementation of VAWA ensured the development of Federal programs to prosecute interstate crimes and to enforce interstate protection orders. It also provided legitimacy and monetary support to shelters for victims and rape crisis centers.
Consequently, the passing of VAWA signified a new, cooperative response to the aforementioned patriarchal issues that had previously neglected the safety of women. In order to keep accountability and ensure a successful implementation of the bill, the Office on Violence Against Women (OVW) was established in 1995.
State and local feminist organizations, in collaboration with the National Organization for Women, ensured the reauthorization of VAWA in 2000, 2005, and 2015. In those three instances, the bill was holistically updated to include the protection of immigrant victims of gender-based violence, prevention of eviction for low-income victims, the development of violence-prevention programs in languages other than English, and care for LGBTQ+ individuals. The new focus on marginalized communities, especially with regards to immigrants, would eventually gain VAWA opposition from Republicans in Congress.
However, as of 2020, the National Domestic Violence Hotline estimates that the results of VAWA and its updates have been nothing but positive. More victims are able to report violence, hotlines exist in about 170 languages, and the implementation of over 660 state laws has helped protect the well-being of civilians, especially women.
The presence of violent power structures in society poses a threat to the safety of everyone, and especially women of color. Legislation like VAWA seeks to ensure that justice is brought to the many victims of dating violence, domestic violence, stalkers, sexual assault, and many other crimes.
Additionally, VAWA's budget for research is the first step in understanding and preventing the systemic roots of gender-based violence. Though much has changed since its 1994 enactment, women are still affected by violence and harassment, demonstrating that there is still much to be done before equality is achieved.
Think Further
Do you think that VAWA is enough to protect individuals against gender-based violence? Why?
In which ways do you see gender-based discrimination happening in your day-to-day life? Does VAWA protect individuals from covert violence?
What are the effects of covert discrimination and implicit bias? How are they similar or different from the violence discussed in VAWA?

One of the few things you can spend a lifetime building, and a second destroying.
It should be one of the highest values in modern society. Unfortunately in many cases it has fallen by the wayside. Corporations, governments, and individuals are rarely taken seriously in the public spotlight. Spin seems to always be present and the audience knows it. Even reality tv shows have been known to script and stage their shows to appeal to their audience.
People don't know who to trust. People are searching; hoping to find someone with integrity they can trust.
Will that person be you?
If integrity is something that we value, it will be a challenge to maintain. It is worth it.
Keeping our integrity requires attention to the smallest details of life. Examining our intentions and interactions with everyone and everything around us.
Integrity builds trust. Trust builds relationships. Relationships build people's lives. When integrity is lost in the relationship, trust is diminished and the relationship becomes wounded.
Personal integrity needs constantly examined to be maintained.
It's absence will eventually cause a downfall. From Nixon to Enron, the results can be catastrophic.
Decide today to be a person of integrity. In every sphere of life.

Naoya Inoue: The 'Monster' was unleashed vs. Juan Carlos Payano, but will he win the World Boxing Super Series?
By C Johnson-
On Sunday, October 7, the boxing world witnessed the return of one of its dynamos, as unbeaten WBA bantamweight champion Naoya Inoue faced off with former junior featherweight champion Juan Carlos Payano. The Inoue vs. Payano clash will took place in Yokohama, Kanagawa, Japan, Inoue's hometown, and also served as the first round of the latest installment of the World Boxing Super Series. Any fans in American looking for a replay of the fight can check out the action by downloading the DAZN streaming app.
Inoue has definitely burst onto the scene and last night's performance helped bolster his status, as he crushed the usually durable Payano in under round round. Inoue and Payano reached the center of the ring and began feeling each other out with jabs. It looked to be a cautious scene, and one could be forgiven for thinking that the match might last a while. But, just like that, Inoue unleashed a very lethal one-two punch that absolutely rocked Payano.
Payano crushed to the canvas and couldn't rise despite his efforts. Inoue already had his hands raised in the air before the fight was waived off. He knew it was over.
But if you have tracked the 25-year old's career, you could see the progression. We first saw him on HBO's airwaves in September of 2017, as he absolutely outclassed and dominated contender Antonio Nieves. Inoue was on top of Nieves all night, breaking him down to the body and head before the fight was stopped in the sixth round.
That was definitely an eye-opener, but it was two fights later when Inoue dropped jaws with an electrifying performance against the very capable Jamie McDonnell. In that fight Inoue (16-0, 14 KO's) was sensational and deadly at the same time, as he hammered McDonnell around the ring before scoring a first round TKO victory to claim the WBA bantamweight title. McDonnell was a champion for four years prior to that match, so it was shocking to see.
And now, with this weekend's whitewash, Inoue will march forward to the semi-finals of the World Boxing Super Series. Already you can sense how exited people are for another performance from him.
Keep in mind, Payano was no slouch coming in. Prior to this fight with Inoue this weekend, the only blemish on his ledger had been a a majority decision to former Olympian Rau'shee Warren in 2016. That fight was actually a rematch, as one fight prior we saw Payano overcome Warren in a gritty fight that he won via split-decision.
In watching his fights vs. Nieves, McDonnell, and Payano, I am reminisced of another fighter who broke out on the scene in similar fashion; Manny Pacquiao. If you remember when Pacquiao stopped by Lehlo Ledwaba and later Marco Antonio Barrera, it wasn't just his power that was eye-opening, but the way he delivered it. Inoue too seems to be blessed with such ability and the rest of the WBSS tournament will go a long way to telling us how big of a star he can become.
Inoue will now wait patiently for the winner of Emmanuel Rodriguez (18-0, 12 KOs) vs. Jason Moloney (17-0, 14 KOs), for Rodriguez's IBF title

Man who threw drug-fuelled 'death party' for wife sentenced to 3 years
WATCH: Texas man throws wife a 'death party'
Duane Arden Johnson was sentenced to three years in jail on Monday after throwing his 69-year-old wife a "death party," serving methamphetamine as a party favour that ultimately killed her.
The sentence by the Brown County District Court follows Johnson's guilty plea to neglecting his wife, Debra Lynn Johnson, before her death at their home in January, the Mankato Free Press reports.
The day she was found, Johnson reportedly ran out of his home naked, yelling that his wife was dead.
The police report says he then reentered his home and was found in his bathtub trying to clean little white and black "things" from his skin.

Police also found 47 guns and hundreds of rounds of ammunition during a search of the home.
According to the 59-year-old, his wife had asked him to take her home from her nursing facility and let her die, the local outlet reports.
Johnson removed his wife from the care home against medical advice.
He then held what he called a "death party" at their home, he told police, where the couple used methamphetamine, had sex and listened to their favourite song, Metal Health (Bang Your Head) by Quiet Riot.

Per the outlet, Debra had stopped taking her medication at the time of her death, and an autopsy found that she died of methamphetamine toxicity.
Johnson was given credit for 201 days he'd already served for the original criminal neglect charge.
