Gunmen stole valuables money during Canadians kidnapping Burkina official
Details are emerging about the kidnapping and killing of a Canadian mining company executive in Burkina Faso last week, as authorities continue their investigation.Jean Paul Badoum, an official with the West African country’s Ministry of Security, says the gunmen who kidnapped Kirk Woodman of Halifax also appear to have stolen a number of items, including money, cell phones and computers.He says the theft suggests the kidnapping may have been carried out by a gang of armed bandits.But Badoum says security forces are continuing to investigate and are not ruling anything out — including the possibility extremists or other groups were involved.He says as there were no witnesses and no one has come forward to claim responsibility, it remains unclear what took place or who was involved.Badoum says security forces are putting their maximum effort into identifying those responsible and bringing them to justice.Woodman, who worked for Vancouver-based Progress Minerals Inc., was found dead last Wednesday in Oudalan province, in the northern Sahel region. His body was found riddled with bullets.He had been kidnapped by armed gunmen from a mining camp in Tiabongou, about 20 kilometres from Mansila in Yagha province.Burkina Faso recently declared a state of emergency in the region as attacks by Islamic extremists increase, especially along the border with Niger and Mali.The Canadian Press

Activision’s plans for a subscription-based premium service/content for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 has drawn its fair share of fire. It’s one thing to offer maps and other content as purchasable DLC, but the Call of Duty: Elite (CODE) plan will have players pay a subscription fee for additional features above and beyond what has come before.Activision says that they need to be closer to the launch of the game to discuss what specific features will be included with CODE, but they did mention that there will be a host of services available to members for free. The service will have multiple payment plans based on which features you want to access, and some of those features will be open to all players. It’s widely expected that at least some one of the features will be early access to maps and other DLC.AdChoices广告The idea of paying a subscription to access additional content and services doesn’t sit well with all gamers. It also doesn’t sit well with game developers, like Blacklight: Retribution lead designer Jared Gerritzen of Zombie Games. He labeled Activision’s move an example of “milking” the franchise’s fans for a regular revenue stream.Gerritzen conceded that the games are amazing, but he questioned whether or not Activision has really done anything innovative with their past few Call of Duty titles. He said that it was “sad,” and “really weird,” and expressed that Activision was doing its fans a disservice by raking in the cash without really improving or re-investing the money into making the games better.For their part, Activision says they’re not taking anything away from the Call of Duty experience by making CODE a subscription service, and in fact gamers will get new features they wouldn’t have otherwise enjoyed by paying for them on a regular basis. Core features like solo campaigns and multi-player competitive play will still be included with the game. However, Gerritzen’s sentiment has been echoed by a number of gamers, who feel Activision is essentially charging for a social network and the promise of future game content, instead of charging for map packs and stand-alone DLC when it’s ready.Read more at CVG

The Dundalk players dejected at the full-time whistle. Dundalk 0AZ Alkmaar 1Ben Blake reports from Tallaght StadiumDUNDALK’S HOPES of qualification to the Europa League knockout stages suffered a setback tonight as they went down 1-0 to AZ Alkmaar at Tallaght Stadium.Playing in their first competitive match for two-and-a-half weeks, the home side lacked the spark we’ve seen from them so often in Europe this season and began the game poorly.Dutch striker Wout Weghorst struck the decisive goal nine minutes in after slack defending allowed him to pounce on a loose ball and blast home.A third consecutive defeat in the competition leaves the Lilywhites needing a win from their final group game away to Maccabi Tel-Aviv on 8 December to guarantee second place — although a score draw would be enough if Zenit St Petersburg defeat AZ. Dundalk’s starting XI. Source: Morgan Treacy/INPHOCiaran Kilduff, the super sub in Holland two months ago, was handed a start ahead of regular first choice striker David McMillan, while skipper Stephen O’Donnell was deemed fit to start after struggling with injuries recently.With Ireland manager Martin O’Neill, assistant Roy Keane and President Michael D Higgins all watching on, it was the visiting team who struck first early in the first half, however.After a succession of corners, Mats Seuntjens recycled the ball and crossed from the left flank. Andy Boyle missed the header and Dane Massey took a heavy touch to hand Weghorst the chance and he made no mistake from ten yards.Ipswich Town boss Mick McCarthy was also in attendance to watch the in-demand Daryl Horgan — so effective all season — but the winger had one of his quieter nights.Instead, it was Ronan Finn who led the Dundalk charge as they steadily improved the longer the first half went on.Good footwork from the former Shamrock Rovers man very nearly created an opening on 34 minutes and Kilduff headed wide from the resulting corner.Finn then took a shot on 30 yards out, only to see it sail wide of Sergio Rochet’s goal.Stephen Kenny was forced into a change minutes before the half-time whistle as O’Donnell’s recent fitness troubles continued.The midfielder had pulled up with a hamstring problem and despite attempting to play on, had to be replaced by John Mountney. AZ goalscorer Wout Weghorst (right). Source: Tommy Dickson/INPHODespite a bright start from Dundalk after the interval, it was AZ who had several chances to double their advantage with Gary Rogers regularly coming to the rescue. The experienced goalkeeper was kept busy and pulled off saves from Weghorst, Seuntjens, Jahanbakhsh and Rienstra to keep his side in the game.But Dundalk held in there and threw on David McMillan in place of the largely-ineffective Kilduff for the final 15 minutes.With AZ content to sit on their one-goal advantage as the clock ticked down, the home team pushed numbers forward with Finn coming close and Gannon’s goalbound strike blocked but it wasn’t to be.DUNDALK: Rogers; Gannon, Boyle, Gartland, Massey; O’Donnell (c) (Mountney 41), Benson, McEleney (Shiels 80), Finn, Horgan; Kilduff (McMillan 76).AZ ALKMAAR: Rochet; Johansson, Vlaar (c), Wuytens, Haps; Luckassen, Seuntjens, Rienstra; Jahanbakhsh (Dos Santos 75), Weghorst (Friday 87), Tankovic (Ouwejan 80).The42 is on Instagram!

MMAMania.com has a new article up where they interview former UFC star Chael Sonnen about his career. During the interview, Sonnen brings up that he was once offered a deal with the WWE and did not tell UFC President Dana White about it.“Here’s the nuts and bolts of it: I was offered $5 million by [WWE promoter] Vince McMahon. Now, I was still under contract with the UFC and I never took this to Dana. I handled it on my own. I told [WWE], ‘No’ and that was the end of that. I never told Dana White this story, but here’s why I didn’t tell him. I knew if I called Dana and said, ‘I’ve got a $5 million offer from Vince McMahon,’ Dana would have matched it. Dana would have come close and now all of a sudden I’m not a loyal employee. I’m not loyal to the UFC. I’m shopping them and I’m being loyal to myself. That’s business. That’s how that works and I don’t think anyone would have had hard feelings but I didn’t see myself that way.”MMAMania.com: Chael Sonnen turned down $5 million contract from WWE and never told UFC boss Dana White Facebook Google+ Twitter Madison Rayne parts ways with Ring of Honor and is officially a free agent Impact Wrestling announces they have “terminated” the contract of Eli Drake on Sunday

Pippo Inzaghi thanked Bologna fans after he was axed to make way for Sinisa Mihajlovic suggesting he is now an extra supporter.The Coach was dismissed after managing just two wins, eight draws and 11 Serie A defeats this season.“A very important professional experience for my career has concluded,” wrote Inzaghi on Instagram and cited on Football Italia.“It really saddens me to leave Bologna, where over the last few months my staff and I felt great affection and respect.“Now within me I feel the regret and disappointment at not being able to avoid this situation, but I really wish to thank the Bologna fans for their support throughout a difficult and hard-fought season.
Mihajlovic is coaching Bologna from his hospital bed Manuel R. Medina – August 24, 2019 Manager Sinisa Mihajlovic has been undergoing chemotherapy after his leukemia diagnosis, but assistant coach Emilio De Leo is helping take care of everything.“I wish you with all my heart the best for the future. From now on, Bologna have an extra supporter.”However, the new manager is confident the team can avoid relegation despite their current predicament.“I am convinced Bologna can avoid relegation,” said the Coach in his Press conference.“It’s a difficult task, but I am confident and believe the players are too. If they aren’t, then I’ll find a way to convince them. If I didn’t believe, I wouldn’t have even come here. I spoke to the squad, we’ll have to rush through some stages, so I asked them for concentration.”
Ruling Bangladesh Awami League (AL) activists have locked in clashes with BNP activists escorting BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia to a makeshift court in Bakshibazar of the capital.As the former prime minister reached the Moghbazar crossing, several hundreds of BNP activists joined her motorcade, slowing the pace of Khaleda’s vehicle.But just as the motorcade crossed the Moghbazar crossing, it was met with a stones hurled from one side of the road. BNP activists retaliated and clashes ensued.Details of the clashes were not known immediately.BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia left her Gulshan residence to appear in the make-shift court in Old Dhaka’s Bakshibazar that is set to deliver its verdict in a graft case against her today.Khaleda Zia started around 11:45am from Gulshan as the city witnessed massive presence of law enforcement.The authorities have strengthened security around the court on the Alia Madrasa ground in Bakshibazar area for the announcement of judgement in the Zia Orphanage Trust graft case.The court on 25 January set 8 February to deliver the verdict in the case that implicated Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) chairperson Khaleda Zia, her son and senior BNP vice chairman Tarique Rahman and four others.The ACC filed the graft case, during the quasi-military regime of Fakhruddin Ahmed in July 2008, accusing them of misappropriating Tk 21 million that had come as grants from a foreign bank for orphans.The four other accused are former BNP lawmaker Salimul Haq Kamal and businessman Sharfuddin Ahmed, former principal secretary to the prime minister Kamal Uddin Siddique and nephew of late president Ziaur Rahman, Mominur Rahman.
Living Hope Wheelchair AssociationA member of the Living Hope Wheelchair Association visits immigrants recovering from Harvey.Advocates rolled out an action plan Friday to make disaster response in Houston more inclusive of immigrants.The Houston Immigration Legal Services Collaborative, and other community partners, released the action plan. The plan included 34 recommendations, which were put together after studying the experiences of service providers at 40 immigrant-serving organizations. They found many immigrants faced additional barriers during and after Harvey. X 00:00 /00:49 To embed this piece of audio in your site, please use this code: Share
Listen Recommendations include providing better explanations on how to apply for FEMA assistance and making disaster preparedness information more accessible. “There’s not just the right languages and the right channels but even the right levels of literacy,” said Katy Atkiss, who developed the action plan. She also said some aspects of the action plan apply directly to the emergency response to the ITC tank fire. “Making sure that people know what to do, like what does ‘shelter in place’ mean,” she said. “If they even hear these words, how do they respond, what are their action items?”Atkiss will be meeting with local officials and organizations to see how the plan could be implemented.Elizabeth Trovall/Houston Public MediaKate Vickery of the Houston Immigration Legal Services Collaborative announces the Humanitarian Action Plan for immigrant resilience.In a written statement, County Commissioner Rodney Ellis said the industrial fires this week are a reminder to invest in the resilience of low-income and immigrant communities. “Immigrant resilience is key to the resilience of our country as a whole. For these reasons, I’m proud to support these recommendations,” said Ellis, who represents Precinct One.Episcopal Health Foundation/Kaiser Family FoundationA report by the Episcopal Health Foundation and the Kaiser Family Foundation found undocumented immigrants as more likely to say their lives were disrupted by Harvey than native-born residents.Other recommendations in the action plan include suspending immigration enforcement within 200 miles of disaster zones during a crisis, developing more data to better understand how immigrant communities are impacted by disaster and coordinating with immigrant advocates on getting out information to communities.

Margot already has years of junior USA experience and will be an immediate contributor this fall.” University of Louisville field hockey coach Justine Sowry has announced that Margot Lawn has signed a National Letter-of-Intent to join the Cardinals in the fall of 2019. Lawn is part of a class of seven newcomers who will be announced in the upcoming weeks.Name: Margot LawnPosition: Midfielder/ForwardHometown: Pasadena, MDHigh School: Archbishop SpaldingClub: Nook Field Hockey Story Links Entering her senior season, she was named one of Max Field Hockey’s Top 10 Players in the Nation and was tabbed the NFHCA’s Maryland Offensive Player of the Year following the completion of her final season. Lawn earned Field Hockey Player of the Year honors from the Capital Gazette Communications and the Washington Post and was a Max Field Hockey Second Team All-American. Additionally, she was named to the Max Field Hockey All-Mid-Atlantic first team her junior and senior seasons. During her high school career, the two-time captain scored 89 goals and dished out 35 assists while helping her team to the Interscholastic Athletic Association of Maryland (IAAM) championship (2015) and three semifinal appearances (2016, 2017, 2018). In addition to her high school accomplishments, Lawn was a member of USA Field Hockey’s U17 National Team from 2015-17 and is a 2018 USA Field Hockey U19 Junior National Camp, Stars and Stripes and National Futures Championship selection. While playing for the U17 team, Lawn participated in the Uruguay Tour (2017) and the Ireland Tour (2016) – when she was the leading scorer for Team USA.

Lawn is also successful in the classroom, earning NFHCA All-Academic Team honors in 2018.
For the most part, the Xbox One is not as good of a games console as the PS4. The biggest complaints are that it costs more (for now) due to the inclusion of Kinect, and it’s not as powerful. But this week it has been confirmed that the Xbox One is better than the PS4 at something. The problem is, that something is consuming energy.The Natural Resources Defense Council reviewed the energy consumption of the next-gen games consoles, and has found that while both the Xbox One and PS4 are pretty bad, the Xbox One is the biggest energy user by far. To add salt to the wound, the Kinect sensor is a key reason for that.The NRDC claims that these new consoles will account for $1 billion in annual utility bills across America, but $400 million of that is generated when the consoles are in standby mode and not being used. That’s where the Xbox One’s problem lies, as the always-active voice command feature needs more energy to function.If you own a Wii U then well done! It will consume around 37kWh/year compared to 40kWh/year for the Wii. By comparison the last model of the PS3 consumed 64kWh/year where as the PS4 is rated at 181kWh/year–nearly three-times as high. The Xbox One is worst, though. The last model Xbox 360 consumed 70kWh/year, but the Xbox One ranges anywhere from 210-289kWh/year depending on how the TV mode usage is setup.You have to consider that these are first-gen models of the new consoles and hardware revisions will see the energy usage drop in time. The original fat PS3 used over 400W when powered on, where as the super slim model was closer to 100W. The Xbox One will also see that power use come down when the Kinect-less model ships next month. It’s going to be the more popular model, and therefore the overall energy consumption for the machine will drop.It isn’t all bad news for the Xbox One, though. It uses less power when turned on, when playing games, and when streaming content compared to the PS4. So removing Kinect may even see the PS4 jump to the top of the power consumption charts. For now, here’s how the power use currently stacks up across the three next-gen machines:
Oklahoma school district shuts down after parents threaten trans studentLambda Legal’s Omar Gonzalez Named to LGBT Bar Association’s List of Best LGBT Lawyers Under 40Icons in LGBTI history and today share their pivotal stories in 29 portraitsRead the full article on Gaystarnews: :https://www.gaystarnews.com/article/8-year-old-transgender-girl-sues-california-school-for-discrimination/ GAYSTARNEWS- 8-year-old Nikki Shah-Brar and her parents, Priya Shah and Jaspret Brar, are suing her California private school for discrimination. Shah-Brar came out as transgender to her parents in June 2016, right before her seventh birthday. When her parents informed her school, they faced barriers regarding Shah-Brar expressing her gender identity. The school in question is Heritage Oak Private Education.‘They said that we could grow her hair out,’ Brar told BuzzFeed News in a report. ‘But they said no girls bathroom, no female pronouns, no girls name, and no girls uniform.’The family filed a lawsuit against Heritage Oak and its parent company, Nobel Learning Communities, for illegally discriminating against Shah-Brar based on her gender identity. The family filed the lawsuit on Wednesday in Orange County Superior Court.In February, Shah-Brar withdrew from the school after facing bullying from other students. Her mother commented they would not have done this if her daughter didn’t support it. ‘This was a family decision,’ Shah said. ‘We thought we had to stand up for our child who was standing up for who she was. This is not something we do lightly.’Violating California lawOn Heritage Oak’s website, they describe their philosophy ‘is to develop the whole child’.Their website continues: ‘Heritage Oak students are provided with a warm, nurturing environment which promotes student responsibility, cooperation, high-level thinking, creativity and the respect for individual differences.’According to BuzzFeed’s report, school officials declared in January 2017 Shah-Brar could not transition. Her parents informed the school prior to Shah-Brar beginning second grade and planned for a transition in third grade.‘Heritage Oak and Nobel Learning Communities exhibited reckless disregard for the emotional distress it would cause her, and engaged in the intentional infliction of emotional distress in violation of California common law,’ the suit alleges.
The law in question is California’s Unruh Civil Rights Act, which prohibits businesses from discriminating based on gender identity. Based on the school’s claim of allowing ‘respect of individual differences’ and so forth, the suit alleges the school violated portions of the California Business and Professions Code as well. This code bans fraudulent practices and misleading advertisements.‘We strive to meet the needs and wellbeing of all children’Gay Star News reached out to Heritage Oak and Nobel Learning for comment. They released the following statement:‘We strive to meet the needs and wellbeing of all children in our schools, and have been able to accommodate the needs of other transgender students in older grades at Nobel Learning Community schools without incident.‘We were mindful in this instance of the need to support not just this 7-year-old, but other young children. We believed it was extremely important to respond, not hastily, but with deliberate care, to decide when and how to inform and educate our entire elementary school community of students, staff and parents about the mid-year change of gender identity expression of a young child. Due to the sensitivity of the issue and age of the child, we believed we needed expert guidance regarding timing (such as, preparing children for a change they would see in spring semester of second grade and fall semester of third grade), process and age-appropriate communication.‘We told the family we had decided to retain an outside consultant to assist us, and we were communicating with the family on a consistent basis to discuss potential experts and specific accommodations (in addition to the other accommodations we had already offered, such as use of the single-unit staff bathroom, specific options as to girl’s uniform clothing and girl’s hairstyle, as well as ceasing to use gender groupings in physical education activities). Unfortunately, these accommodations were rejected and the parents withdrew their child.’Precious situation for transgender students in schoolUnder the Obama administration, there was large support for Title IX. This portion of 1972’s Education Amendments Act states no school can discriminate on the basis of sex.The administration supported multiple cases of transgender discrimination in schools.Now, however, there is a reversal of this policy. Donald Trump’s administration is backing away from protecting trans students’ rights. Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos released new guidelines in June, which allows certain complaints, such as bathroom rights, to be dismissed without investigation.Share this:TwitterFacebookLike this:Like Loading… eTN Chatroom for Readers (join us)

Having heard closing arguments, the supreme court on Monday postponed to a later date delivering a judgement on the appeal filed by the state against the prior acquittal of two former senior Bank of Cyprus executives.The state is appealing the acquittal of Andreas Eliades and Yiannis Kypris over the handling of Greek government bonds that eventually caused the lender huge losses.In December last year the criminal court had cleared the two of charges relating to alleged market manipulation by falsifying the lender’s 2010 annual report.Eliades and Kypris were accused of conspiring to reclassify the bank’s holdings in Greek bonds – with an effective date of April 1, 2010 – with intent to defraud investors.The bonds were reclassified in a manner as to indicate the bank had suffered fewer losses than it actually did, conveying a better picture overall of the lender’s financials.In turn, this resulted in the stock value being listed higher than it would otherwise have been – a move which state prosecutors believe is tantamount to market manipulation.Meanwhile the case before the criminal court continues for the other defendants: Christis Hadjimitsis, Nicolas Karidas, Christodoulos Patsalides, Eliza Livadiotou and Despina Kyriakidou.The next hearings in the criminal trial are to take place on April 18 and 19.On June 1, 2017 all the defendants had pleaded not guilty to charges of forgery, market manipulation, keeping false accounts and conspiracy to defraud.
