PSG to compete with Juventus for Man Utd outcast Paul Pogbaby Paul Vegas10 months agoSend to a friendShare the lovePSG are expected to compete for Manchester United outcast Paul Pogba in January.The Daily Star says United’s £89million Frenchman has become such a divisive figure in the dressing room that club chiefs are ready to flog him less than three years after making him the most expensive player in the world.Jose Mourinho has run out of patience with the midfielder, 25, and it is understood United are planning to cash in on him next month regardless of whether Mourinho continues as boss.The feeling is it is best to part ways now – to help Mourinho turn the season around and ensure any prospective new boss does not inherit the problem.Juventus are in contact, though Paris St-Germain are also sure to join the bidding.

Texas Tech won the game 34-21.(Photo by John Weast/Getty Images)USC’s new offensive coordinator, Kliff Kingsbury, revealed this morning that he was “close” to taking another major job before joining the Trojans.The former Texas Tech head coach said on The Dan Patrick Show that he nearly accepted an offer from Sean McVay and the Los Angeles Rams.“I really have a ton of respect for Coach McVay and what he’s done. Great dude who treats people the right way, innovative on offense, high energy. I would’ve loved to see, on a daily basis, how he does things and would’ve tried to contribute anyway I can. But just felt like this was the right spot for me at the right time,” he said.Kingsbury has been linked to other NFL jobs, too.FOX NFL insider Jay Glazer reported on Sunday that NFL teams might try to pluck Kingsbury from USC before he coaches in a game.Kingsbury, though, says the USC opportunity was too good to pass on.“I played in [the NFL.] I’ve been fascinated by that League… But this opportunity was too great to pass up with the talent we have [at USC.] It’s a great city to work and live in,” he said.”I played in [the NFL.] I’ve been fascinated by that League… But this opportunity was too great to pass up with the talent we have [at USC.] It’s a great city to work and live in.” – @KliffKingsbury on @dpshow— Andrew Perloff (@andrewperloff) December 17, 2018We’ll see if that ends up being the case.If NFL teams are actually really interested in Kingsbury, it’ll be tough for him to stay put.
Almost 100 Nova Scotia paramedics were presented with long service awards by Health Minister Maureen MacDonald, today, May 20, at a ceremony in Halifax. The Paramedic Long Service Award is based on years of service to Nova Scotia by paramedics and others who provide emergency health services. The award is based on five-year increments of service of 20 years and more. “EHS paramedics are highly qualified people with life-saving skills,” said Ms. MacDonald. “They play a critical role in providing better health care to families in every region. It is important we take the time to recognize and thank these men and women for their hard work and dedication, and for the contribution they make to our health and public safety.” Paramedics with 20 years of service receive a medal for their dress uniform. For each additional five-year increment, paramedics receive a service bar pinned on the medal. Over the past 20 years, the paramedic profession has gone through a significant evolution, from simply transporting patients, to providing basic and advanced life support using state-of-the-art equipment. Paramedics can now diagnose heart attacks, administer clot-busting drugs for faster treatment, and use e-PCR systems for patient record management. Paramedics are increasingly providing primary care in many communities, in partnership with health-care professionals such as family physicians and nurse practitioners. This care includes immunizations, assessment and care of patients after discharge and wellness checks. Emergency Health Services is a division of the Department of Health. It is responsible for the development, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of pre-hospital emergency health services in the province. In November 2004, the province’s ground ambulance system became the first Canadian ambulance service accredited through the Commission on Accreditation of Ambulance Services. It recognizes Nova Scotia’s ground ambulance system as one of the best in North America.
OTTAWA – Canada’s transport minister says travellers aboard domestic flights will be allowed to carry a small quantity of cannabis with them after Oct. 17.But Marc Garneau warns against packing it into luggage that’s destined outside the country. And the country’s airport screening authority says it has yet to finalize procedures for dealing with passengers taking pot through security lines.Garneau says as long as they are on domestic flights, Canadians can bring up to 30 grams of marijuana with them once possession for personal use becomes legal.The minister warns, however, that international passengers should not carry cannabis.Transport Canada says taking cannabis, or products that contain pot, across the U.S. border remains illegal.While several American states have legalized marijuana, possession of the drug is still illegal under U.S. federal law.In addition, export and import of cannabis remains illegal no matter which country you travel to. For example, if a traveller leaves from the Montreal airport for Amsterdam, they will not be allowed to bring cannabis with them on the plane or in checked luggage.“As long as the flight is domestic, then people are allowed to bring up to a certain quantity for their personal use,” Garneau told reporters in Ottawa on Tuesday.Under Bill C-45, Canadian adults will be allowed to carry up to 30 grams of dried cannabis in public.The Canadian Air Transport Safety Authority said Tuesday it is still working to ensure its rules conform with the law.“We have been working with Transport Canada since the government passed the cannabis legislation to ensure our protocols are consistent with government policy,” said CATSA spokeswoman Christine Langlois.“We expect to finalize our procedures in the coming days.”

HP et Oracle : la guerre aurait pu être évitéeAutrefois partenaires, Oracle et HP sont aujourd’hui adversaires devant les tribunaux. En procès suite à l’arrêt par le premier du support des processeurs Itanium, les deux groupes auraient pourtant songé à étendre leur alliance en acquérant de façon commune la firme Sun Microsystems.4 milliards de dollars : c’est la somme que HP entend réclamer à Oracle en guise de dédommagement suite à la décision de ce dernier, en mars 2011, de mettre fin au support des processeurs pour serveurs Intel Itanium. Quelques semaines après cette annonce, HP a décidé d’attaquer son ancien partenaire en justice, l’accusant de rupture abusive de contrat.À lire aussiMaladie de Charcot : symptômes, causes, traitement, où en est on ?Oracle se défend en affirmant que ces puces étaient en fin de vie. La firme assure qu’Intel était sur le point d’abandonner cette architecture tandis que HP envisageait de ne plus utiliser ce type de serveurs dans ces produits, choses vivement démenties par les principaux intéressés. La guerre est donc clairement déclarée entre deux firmes qui, un peu plus tôt, étaient pourtant prêtes à s’allier autour d’un nouveau projet.L’ancien PDG d’HP et depuis septembre 2010 coprésident d’Oracle Corporation, Mark Hurd, a été appelé à témoigner devant la Cour Supérieure du Tribunal de Santa Clara à San Jose, en Californie, dans le cadre du procès qui vient de commencer. Et comme le rapporte le site Wired, il a évoqué l’idée d’une acquisition commune de la firme Sun Microsystems. Lary Ellison, le fondateur d’Oracle, aurait en effet soumis une proposition en ce sens à HP. Mais le comité de direction du constructeur se serait opposé à ce projet, et c’est finalement seul, le 27 janvier 2010, qu’Oracle a acquis Sun pour quelque 7,4 milliards. Aujourd’hui, en plus d’attaquer Oracle pour rupture abusive de contrat, HP poursuit la firme pour calomnie et diffamation. Le constructeur reproche en effet à son ancien partenaire d’avoir menti en évoquant la fin proche des processeurs Itanium. Pour lui, ces déclarations avaient pour seul but d’engendrer une confusion auprès des clients et les encourager à se tourner vers les serveurs SPARC nés de son rachat de Sun Microsystems.Le 14 juin 2012 à 11:00 • Maxime Lambert
Facebook Twitter Google+LinkedInPinterestWhatsAppProvidenciales, 16 Nov 2015 – Owners of the Tuscany and Venetian resort condos on Grace Bay filed a complaint about the proposed 12-storey development planned for next door to their properties, and today a judgment was handed down giving them victory in the case. Chief Justice Margaret Ramsay Hale agreed with the argument put forth by Tuscany and Venetian and ruled for their legal costs to be covered by respondents in the case and stated in the ruling that there was a breach. Those respondents are: The Governor, the Minister of Housing, Infrastructure and Planning and the Director of Planning. From the judgment the case was won by the Venetian and the Tuscany owners because there was insufficient public consultation and the applicants challenged the authority of Cabinet or Planning Department to alter the planning ordinance in the way that they did. In her grounds for the ruling, the CJ says while the Director of Planning and the Minister, who is in this case Hon Amanda Misick are given certain authorities, those need to be thoroughly executed by ensuring among other things that people who will be impacted by the proposed zoning changes are informed and given opportunity to make representation before any plan is submitted and approved by the Governor. This proper process, according to Ramsay-Hale, did not happen. When it comes to the consultation on this zoning change to go with taller buildings in Provo, the Chief Justice outlines that the consultation must come at a point when there is an opportunity to influence the proposal and not when the decision has already been made. The town hall meeting held by the PNP Administration was described as a ‘sham’ by attendees as it appeared the plan was already approved before having public input. The case today determined that a notice by the Department of Planning to amend the Development Manual to make the 12 story or 150-ft height legal was rescinded and called ‘void’ and of ‘no effect’ by the Chief Justice in her ruling. Magnetic Media has sought to get reaction to the decision handed down just hours ago; there was no reply up to news production time.

The victim was standing in the front of his home when he was shot by two men, who drove up to him in a white Honda vehicle and sped off.Police also yesterday released wanted posters. The shooting on Ida Street takes the country’s murder count to 113. It is a horrifying statistic which has the PM of The Bahamas, Dr. Hubert Minnis begging Bahamians to turn the criminals in to authorities.

WASHINGTON — The top leaders in the Democratic party called on embattled Rep. Anthony Weiner, D-N.Y., to resign Saturday even as the scandal-tarred congressman announced he would seek a leave of absence from the House to seek treatment.Weiner spokeswoman Risa Heller said Saturday afternoon that the congressman “departed this morning to seek professional treatment to focus on becoming a better husband and healthier person.” She added that he would request “a short leave of absence from the House” after which he would make a decision on his political future. Heller did not return an email regarding what sort of treatment Weiner was seeking.Weiner’s decision came just as the Democratic party leadership issued a coordinated call for him to resign.“Congressman Weiner has the love of his family, the confidence of his constituents, and the recognition that he needs help,” said House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (Calif.). “I urge Congressman Weiner to seek that help without the pressures of being a Member of Congress.”Of Weiner, Democratic National Committee Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz of Florida said “the behavior he has exhibited is indefensible and Representative Weiner’s continued service in Congress is untenable.”Assistant House Minority Leader Jim Clyburn of South Carolina offered a discordant note in the nearly-unanimous calls for Weiner’s resignation; “I stand by my comments from last week that the full Caucus should address this issue when we meet next week,” he said in a statement.

This combination photo shows president Donald Trump and attorney Michael Cohen. The audio recording of Trump and his then-lawyer, Cohen, captures the two men discussing hush money payments to a former Playboy model alleging an affair. Photo : APThe sudden public airing of Donald Trump talking about paying for a Playboy model’s silence marks a turning point in the legal game of cat-and-mouse between the president and the lawyer who once promised to take a bullet for Trump but now seems out to save himself.The feud between Trump and his onetime legal “fixer,” Michael Cohen, escalated when an audio recording of their 2016 pre-election conversation was released Tuesday by Cohen, prompting Trump to tweet Wednesday: “What kind of a lawyer would tape a client? So sad!”As the two sides battled over the exact meaning of the sometimes-garbled words on the recording, it was clear that the tape could be just an opening volley. At least a dozen more recordings were seized from Cohen’s office as well as hundreds of thousands of documents.The tape, made just weeks before the 2016 election, appears to undermine Trump’s contention that he was not aware of a payment to former Playboy Playmate Karen McDougal, who has alleged she had an affair with the married future president.That raises questions about possible campaign finance violations. It shows Cohen advising Trump on campaign matters, and that could be of interest to investigators looking into whether the lawyer violated election laws by orchestrating hush money payouts.Cohen says on the tape he’s already spoken with the Trump Organization’s finance chief, Allen Weisselberg, on “how to set the whole thing up.” Weisselberg’s involvement has led to speculation about whether Trump’s private business tried to protect his campaign.Trump’s lawyers say the payments were never made.The tape’s revelations also mark a new chapter for Cohen, who, as he mulls cooperating with federal prosecutors and perhaps special counsel Robert Mueller, is viewed by many in Trump’s orbit as the greatest threat to the former businessman’s presidency.Cohen rose through the ranks of the Trump Organization by mimicking his boss’ style in handling his personal and political problems. Now he and his own attorney, former Clinton lawyer Lanny Davis, are taking another page from the Trump playbook – fighting a legal battle in the court of public opinion.With his apartment under construction after a pipe burst, Cohen has been holed up in a Midtown Manhattan hotel. From that luxurious bunker, Cohen has grown increasingly concerned that his relationship with the president has fractured beyond repair, according to two people familiar with his views but not authorized to discuss them publicly.Cohen, who would make bad stories disappear and travel the globe to make deals for the Trump Organization, now feels increasingly isolated and burned by the attacks against him by Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani and by the president’s efforts to play down his former fixer’s role.And when the president’s legal team waived attorney-client privilege, prompting Giuliani to declare that the tape was “exculpatory” for Trump, Cohen’s team moved to release it, believing it backed up his own version of events, the people said. The attorney told confidants that he was tired of being a punching bag and wanted to try to seize control of the story.The meaning of the tape is up for debate.Days before the recording, American Media Inc, which owns the National Enquirer, paid $150,000 to McDougal for the rights to her story about the alleged 2006 affair. She later sued, claiming that AMI paid for the story with the intention of burying it to protect Trump. AMI president David Pecker is a close friend of the president.Cohen is heard on the tape discussing AMI’s payment, and says of “David” that “I’ll have to pay him something.”The audio is muffled but Trump can be heard saying something about “cash,” and then something about paying by check. Giuliani insists Trump says, “Don’t pay with cash.”But Davis, Cohen’s attorney, maintains that Trump’s reference to “cash” is damaging. “The only people who use cash are drug dealers and mobsters,” he told CNN. In another twist in a tale full of them, Davis himself had previously worked with AMI and moved to squash unflattering stories about the company. He did not return calls for comment Wednesday.Whichever account is accurate, the tape appears to bring limited additional legal exposure to the president himself. But the revelation of the audio on prime-time television, complete with exaggerated appeals by Davis to Trump’s supporters to listen to the president’s comments, was designed to impeach the credibility of the president and his leading lawyer.The recorded conversation took place in early September 2016. But a campaign spokesperson told The Wall Street Journal in November of that year concerning the McDougal agreement, “We have no knowledge of any of this.”Trump, for his part, weighed in on Twitter on Wednesday, suggesting the sudden conclusion to the recording should be viewed suspiciously.”Why was the tape so abruptly terminated (cut) while I was presumably saying positive things?” he tweeted. “I hear there are other clients and many reporters that are taped – can this be so? Too bad!”Trump’s searing tweets marked a new low point in his relationship with Cohen, who worked for the president for a decade and grew close to his family. Though Cohen was Trump’s right-hand man at the business, he was not given a major role in the campaign. He did run the president’s outreach to faith groups and became a fierce defender on television, including a notable CNN clip in which he demands, “Says who?” after being shown poor poll numbers.Though he hoped for a key White House position, Cohen was left behind in New York, where he capitalized on his access to the president in business dealings with a number of corporate clients. Famously brusque with most reporters, he vehemently challenged the references to him in a dossier of uncorroborated information about Trump even as he was called in to testify before special counsel Mueller.After the raid by federal prosecutors, Cohen’s relationship with Trump shattered. The men have not spoken for months and Giuliani has routinely lobbed grenades at the attorney.Though Cohen’s move to record Trump was unorthodox, it likely was not illegal. In New York, only one party has to give consent to a conversation being recorded. Steven Lubet, a Northwestern University expert on legal ethics, said he was unaware of any rule in New York that explicitly bars a lawyer from recording a client without consent.But other rules, such as ones requiring lawyers and clients to have full and open communication, and barring them from engaging in fraud, dishonesty or misrepresentation, could possibly be construed as requiring an attorney to obtain consent. Rule or not, it’s certainly an unorthodox practice and could leave lawyers subject to a bar complaint. Trump has a “legitimate complaint” and it’s fair for him to ask what kind of lawyer would secretly record a client, Lubet said.”The nature of the attorney/client relationship itself would dictate that a client’s consent would be needed for taping,” Lubet said.
In this file photo taken on 22 February 2015 Renu Begum, eldest sister of missing British girl Shamima Begum, holds a picture of her sister while being interviewed by the media in central London. Photo: AFPShamima Begum, a British teenager of Bangladeshi descent who ran away in 2015 to become an Islamic State (IS) jihadi bride, has been moved from a Syrian refugee camp after threats were made against them, according to her family’s lawyer.The 19-year-old and her son were moved from the Al-Hol camp due to “safety concerns around her and her baby,” the Guardian reported on Friday citing lawyer Tasnime Akunjee.Last week Begum, who left the UK in 2015 with two school friends, said she wanted to return home for the health of her then-unborn child.Home secretary Sajid Javid has ordered stripping off of her UK citizenship, a move Begum called “unjust” and “hard to swallow”.On Friday, British tabloid Sun reported that Begum had received death threats since speaking out about her plight.British officials have ruled out any effort inside Syria to extract Begum and her child.Her family have pleaded for the mother and child to be allowed to come back to Britain. They say the teenager should face justice if she is found to have broken the law by travelling to Syria.Earlier this week, a shooting range in Wirral in north-west England defended its use of Begum’s image as a target, saying it had received a large number of requests from customers.

1. Destiny teased in Halo 3: ODST1/50Destiny was originally teased in 2009 in Halo 3: ODST via a poster plastered on a wall. The Easter egg was later removed in the remastered version of the game. <><> Out of all the new IPs that have come out this generation, the biggest has to be Destiny. The game’s title is fitting as it was almost predestined to be a hit right out of the gate. With Bungie as its developer and Activision as publisher, Destiny became this generation’s go-to game. Even after nearly two years, this monster franchise continues to draw in hordes of gamers who are addicted to this MMO/FPS hybrid.With so much coverage of the game since launch, it feels as if Destiny has no more secrets left to uncover. However, there are still a few things that folks may not know about the game. From hidden messages buried in the game’s UI and clever pop culture references, to a strange working title, and even a few nods to the Dark Souls series, Destiny’s secrets run deep.Below, we’ve compiled a list of 50 Destiny facts you may or may not know about. Some are weirder than others, but they are all equally as interesting.
Trade In Your Nintendo Switch For a Better Battery (With a Catch)Controller Patent Teases SNES Games on Switch Stay on target After nearly a month of being on the market, the Nintendo Switch is still hard to obtain. Even when retailers get new stock (as happened yesterday with Best Buy), the console sells out quickly. What do you do in this situation? If you’re like one clever and imaginative kid, you make one yourself — out of cardboard.A Twitter user by the name of Ama-chan posted a video of her younger brother putting together a Switch made entirely out of cardboard. According to Ama-chan (as translated by Kotaku), her brother did this because their mother wouldn’t buy him a Nintendo Switch. She also says that her brother dreams of one-day making video games. Given what we see in the video, he is certainly getting a great head start on that.お母さんに買ってもらえなくて自分でニンテンドースイッチつくった弟(小5)(将来の夢はゲームクリエイター)#NintendoSwtich pic.twitter.com/MTiHBOOkvD— あまちゃん（在宅） (@fraise_ama) March 28, 2017AdChoices广告Cardboard not withstanding, this is a decent replica of the Switch. Just like with the real system, Joy-con controllers can be slid in and out of the sides of the system. Not only did the boy make the system and controllers, but also the Joy-con grips, the Switch docking station, and even cute little memory cards. He didn’t go so far as to make the Joy-con straps, but given how much trouble they have caused people, we can forgive him that.You have to give it up for this boy and his boundless ingenuity. Hopefully, his mother will see the error of her ways and get the little tike a Nintendo Switch. If she can find one, that is. Even in Japan, where the Switch is selling faster than the PS4, it is still not easy for people to buy the console/handheld hybrid. Nintendo’s goal is to release 16 million Switch units by the end of 2017. If that happens, everyone who wants a Switch can have one. Perhaps even the boy who made a Switch out of cardboard.
