The “price of freedom is worth paying”, Boris Johnson insisted today as he compared Russia with Nazi Germany. Speaking at the G7 Summit in Bavaria, the Prime Minister vowed to continue supporting Kyiv and President Volodymyr Zelensky , adding: “Strategic endurance is very important.” Hitting out at the “absolutely unbridled aggression” from the Kremlin, he told the BBC : “I think that sometimes the price of freedom is worth paying and, just remember, it took the democracies in the middle of the last century a long time to recognise that they have to resist tyranny and aggression. “It was very expensive but what it bought in the end with the defeat of the dictators, particularly of Nazi Germany, it bought decades and decades of stability, a world order that relied on a rules based national system, and that is worth protecting, that is worth defending - that delivers long term prosperity.” Boris Johnson and President Zelensky in Kyiv ( Image: Anadolu Agency via … [Read more...] about Boris Johnson compares Russia to Nazi Germany and says rising costs ‘price worth paying’ to help Ukraine

Two years on, national security law proves its worth in safer, more stable Hong Kong
After nearly two years of Hong Kong’s national security law, critics condemning it seem more anxious to have their worst fears vindicated than disproved. The city was said to be plunging headlong into a cauldron of tyranny. That has not happened, though. Instead, the status quo spanning business activity and civil institutions is better protected from disruptive strife than before. Protesters who rejected such legislation might be taking a vital civil order for granted. Democratic societies champion such laws for themselves to help preserve their democracy. In Washington, one morning’s mob violence at the Capitol Building has seen criminal prosecutions more than a year later. Legislators in the US Congress who expressed support for Hong Kong’s months-long protests are busily investigating their protesters while strengthening security on their own turf. What is the reality in Hong Kong since the promulgation of the security law? Peace and order have returned to the streets and … [Read more...] about Two years on, national security law proves its worth in safer, more stable Hong Kong
Apple App Store Was Able To Detect Fraud Transaction Worth Billions To Protect Customers
Apple protected customers from more than $1.5 billion in potentially fraudulent transactions on the App Store in 2021, the company has informed. This prevented attempted theft of the App Store users’ money, information, and time, and kept nearly a million problematic new apps out of their hands. Apple said in a statement late on Wednesday that it stopped over 1.6 million risky and vulnerable apps and app updates from defrauding users. “Bad actors continue to evolve their methods of online fraud, often making their schemes harder to recognise. That is why Apple has continued to refine its processes, create new ones, and engineer solutions to take on these threats,” it added.

Nolte: 11 Ways Democrats Helped Overturn Roe v. Wade
No one did more to ensure that the moral and legal atrocity called Roe v. Wade was overturned than Democrats. Let’s count the ways, shall we… Harry Reid How do we even begin to thank the late Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) for ending the filibuster? Harry ended the filibuster in 2013 so Barry Obama could fill the courts with fascist radicals. This act ensured then-President Trump could get his trifecta of perfect Supreme Court justices over the finish line. If Reid had not killed the filibuster, at least two of those three (Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett) would have been non-starters, and Roe v. Wade would still be the law of the land. Thank you, Harry! Lena Dunham From where I sit, rape-hoaxer Lena Dunham led the pro-abortion crowd into a corner they could not escape from. Back in 2016, when Dunham said , “Now I can say that I still haven’t had an abortion, but I wish I had,” she shifted the left’s public attitude. For decades, the … [Read more...] about Nolte: 11 Ways Democrats Helped Overturn Roe v. Wade

Please stop asking for antibiotics every time you see a doctor with a cold
The bacteria responsible for the plague spreading in Madagascar can be treated with antibiotics—for now. But that could change. Some are concerned the infection could become resistant to those antibiotics, as NPR reported , especially if people use the drugs when they aren't necessary. Overuse of antibiotics is one of the issues the World Health Organization would like to make more people think about this week. The agency has declared the week of November 13 to be " World Antibiotic Awareness Week ." This is WHO's third antibiotic awareness week. Drug-resistant bacteria have been a concern for years. "Without urgent action now, more patients will be thrust back to a time before we had effective drugs," Tom Frieden, then-director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said in 2013. "If we're not careful, we will soon be in a post-antibiotic era. And, in fact, for some patients and some microbes, we are already there." ( Newsweek , for what it's worth, has … [Read more...] about Please stop asking for antibiotics every time you see a doctor with a cold
Dyslexia And The New Science Of Reading
The first thing Kathryn Nicholas will tell you about her 11-year-old son Jason is that he's a bright, curious kid who can build elaborate machines out of Legos and remember the code names and payloads of bombers. "He has a phenomenal desire to see how things work," she says proudly. But reading, for Jason, was a train wreck. In first grade he was assigned to special-education classes with three mildly retarded children. Two years later, despite extra help, he still couldn't decipher a sentence, and his mother was worried that he would soon become so discouraged that he would give up trying. Then she heard about Virginia Wise Berninger, an educational psychologist at the University of Washington who studies dyslexia, a disorder that makes learning to read extremely difficult. As part of her ongoing research, Berninger tested Jason and then invited him to a summer program for dyslexic boys. The kids didn't just play letter games. They did science experiments, studied biodiversity, met … [Read more...] about Dyslexia And The New Science Of Reading
Spooked by the Crypto Winter? Take Heart from Madhya Pradesh’s First Ranji Title
On Sunday, Madhya Pradesh clinched a historic maiden win against 41-time Ranji champions Mumbai. It was a dream come true for MP coach and domestic cricket veteran Chandrakant Pandit, who had fallen short of winning the trophy himself 23 years ago when he last batted for MP as captain in 1999. With this win, Pandit now has six Ranji wins as a coach to his name. Turns out that his legendary wins in the premier domestic Test cricket league might have some lessons for potential and anxious investors in the presently bleak crypto market . At $953 billion, the current global crypto market cap is weathering a “crypto winter”. Globally, crypto exchanges are furiously cutting their workforce, authorities are getting hawkish on seriously regulating crypto and there is huge wariness and distrust amidst crypto investors after the Terra-LUNA stablecoin crash last month, which wiped off $60 billion. India, too, continues its hostile stance on cryptos. From July 1, the 1% TDS on all VDA … [Read more...] about Spooked by the Crypto Winter? Take Heart from Madhya Pradesh’s First Ranji Title

From rock gigs to family-friendly festival: noisewhore’s live music returns with new face
Radhiyya Indra (The Jakarta Post) Jakarta ● Tue, June 28, 2022 2022-06-28 10:40 0 53ea05b5fe2e13733519dbf4e3322a5e 1 Entertainment noisewhore,rock,music-festival,live-music,music Free With its diverse and multigenre lineup, noisewhore claims new frontiers as it pivots from the usual rock gigs in Jakarta. Few generate excitement within Indonesia’s music scenes like the collective noisewhore whenever they prepare a concert. They have brought the best local rock, punk and indie acts to the stage, they have brought foreign indie rock beloveds from Snail Mail to Mitski to the country. When the going got tough, they even set up an independent platform where artists could benefit far more than they could from streaming services (thanks, The Store Front). So it was with great satisfaction that people saw the return of noisewhore’s live music festival from June 25 to 26. But its cofounder Argia Adhidhanendra had done a lot of reflecting during the pandemic. … [Read more...] about From rock gigs to family-friendly festival: noisewhore’s live music returns with new face
