City leaders said once they can find someone qualified for the job, it will help the community run more smoothly.
Mayor Cheryl Walters said there are several projects that need immediate attention, such as the water system.
However, only a city manager has the authority to handle those tasks.
Walters said she needs someone who can start right away.
“I just want to make sure that we get someone that can hit the ground running," said Walters.
There’s a special called meeting Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. where the council will interview an applicant.
Walters said there’s a possibility that the council may hire that person following executive session. | topicality |

Sixty-four percent of participants said that Uncle Sam had “Probably Collected Data” on their phone calls, emails and other online communications.
The report surveyed 671 members of Investigative Reporters and Editors, Inc. (IRE). The pool of respondents included reporters, producers, editors, data specialists, photojournalists and more.
Of those who said that they believed the government was watching them, reporters who covered national security, foreign affairs or the government were the most convinced. A whopping 71 percent said they believed the feds were collecting data from their communications.
Reporters who feel the government breathing down their necks also claimed that their employers are not doing enough to help them. Among those who work for news organizations, only 21 percent felt that their employer was taking steps to protect them and their sources.

Arthur J. LeBlanc presented the Glooscap First Nation with the Lieutenant Governor’s Community Spirit Award.
The ceremony included traditional dancing, drumming and song. Smiles were also easy to find.
Glooscap Chief Sidney Peters said he was really excited for the community after receiving the award.
“It’s all about the community and community involvement,” Peters said. “We’re all moving together as one.”
“You can feel the spirit today, it’s just amazing.”
Peters referenced a lot of the hard work the community has put in and some of the recent developments and projects, including Glooscap Landing and the new community centre, where the ceremony took place.
“We still have lots to work on, and we’ll continue to do that,” he said. “We want to ensure in the future that we can be self-sustaining, and we want to continue to make good business decisions.”
Communities, Culture and Heritage Minister Leo Glavine, whose department selects the recipients, said many communities apply for the award, but only a few are selected each year to receive the honour.
“The idea is to recognize communities that carry out special events and programs that strengthen their community,” Glavine said. “When we look at Glooscap First Nation, there’s no question that over the last four, five years, we’ve really seen strong development here, great leadership, and a community growing.”
Glavine said the community is also supporting cultural and social programs that impact quality of life.
So far, 109 communities have applied for the award and 39 have received it. | topicality |

(AP) — Arkansas finance officials say the state has ended the fiscal year with a $295 million budget surplus, and nearly $74 million of that will go toward highway needs.
The Department of Finance and Administration on Tuesday said the state’s net available revenue collection for the fiscal year totaled $5.9 billion, which was $426.5 million higher than the previous year and $231.2 million above forecast. Arkansas already had a $64 million surplus that was included in the state’s budget.
Arkansas’ fiscal year ended on Sunday.
Twenty-five percent of the surplus will be transferred to the state Department of Transportation, while the rest will go toward reserve funds for other needs.
The department says the state ended the year above forecast because of high growth in individual and corporate income tax collections. | topicality |

Ken Bell, Unison’s spokesman for the north, said: “We are trying to open up the debate about the role of the public sector in getting us through the recession.
"In the north-east, the public sector is a massive part of the region’s economy and we are concerned that the government has failed to grasp the scale of job losses.”

The Executive Director, Envoh Okolo, told newsmen, on Sunday at Dudun-Gwandara, a rural community in Lafia, that the test would afford the people the opportunity to know their status. Okolo attributed the increasing rate of hepatitis to low awareness, low funding for hepatitis programmes and stigmatisation of infected persons.
He expressed his organisation’s commitment to improving the quality of life of those infected with the disease through regular tests, counseling, sensitisation and vaccination.
The executive director said that the NGO had offered free tests and vaccines to more than 6,000 people in the state, saying that the outreaches were its modest contributions toward addressing health challenges among the poor.
“It is our belief that this intervention will assist the people to know their status and take precautionary measures to avert escalating their health conditions,” he added.
Okolo said that the organisation was bringing healthcare closer to the people, especially those at the grassroots, and called on members of the public to go for regular check-ups to know their status early enough.
Cecilia Akawu and Hadiza Ahmed, who spoke on behalf of other beneficiaries, expressed gratitude to the NGO for giving them the opportunity to know their status. | topicality |

Addressing the party senators in the country’s federal capital, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said the International Monetary Fund was not ready to trust the coalition government in wake of the actions of the ousted government.
Taking a hit at Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) for ‘pushing the economy to the verge of bankruptcy’, the premier said the Imran Khan-led government signed an agreement with IMF to increase the levy on fuel prices.
Sharif however mentioned that the agreement with the IMF had been decided, saying that matters would be settled in the coming days.
PM reiterated that Imran Khan, knowing he would lose the no-trust motion, lowered the fuel prices despite the oil prices being record high in the global market.
He continued saying that taking the nation towards prosperity was the responsibility of the government, the cabinet, and state institutions.
PM said genuine taxes were being imposed on the elite class to relieve the poor, adding that he will address the nation in the next few days to take them on board about the economic situation.
He also mentioned that Beijing approved disbursing a $2.3 billion loan to the South Asian nation which was a sigh of relief in the current circumstances. | topicality |

The organisation’s deputy secretary-general, Jessie Duarte, reportedly told News24 on Monday that two party members had been suspended for breaking lockdown regulations while wearing ANC attire. One had reportedly already been arrested, while the other is said to face a similar fate.
The two will also go through the party’s disciplinary processes.
Duarte called on communities to report its councillors if they are found to be in the wrong. This comes after the growing reports of councillors looting food parcels meant for the most vulnerable.
“We believe that it is completely unconscionable for anyone to use food parcels right now for political patronage,” said Duarte.
Duarte also emphasised that the food parcels were not a “want” but a critical supply of food for those vulnerable people, and she questioned how people could deprive the needy of such vital assistance.
News24 last week reported that the South African Social Services Agency (SASSA) was allegedly investigating one of its directors in Mpumalanga after she was accused of authorising food parcels to be delivered to an ANC member of the provincial legislature.

Mchinji District Council says it is set to start construction of Kapiri Market and Bus Deport in its quest to boost its revenue.
In an interview on Thursday, District Commissioner (DC) for Mchinji, Bester Mandere said the construction of the two facilities will cost close to K1 billion.
Presently, Mchinji District Council is not doing well in revenue collection, according to the district commissioner.
“We believe these structures will help us increase the amount of revenue that we normally collect,” he said adding that the two projects will commence soon and will take a year to complete.
Senior Chief Dambe, in a separate interview, hailed the development initiative, saying apart from boosting revenue generation for the district, the two projects will change the face of Mchinji once completed.
He further said the projects will create jobs for the locals in the district.
“For so long, our district council has been failing to collect enough revenue, so with the two projects, we hope the revenue will improve and will create more jobs for the locals,” he said.
Martha Konde, a local businessperson commended the local council for the initiative, saying a good market structure would help boost small scale businesses. | topicality |

Here’s what he had to say about sales of the game on Nintendo 3DS.
“Going by the 3DS market at the time we released the game, it was definitely a success and we’re certainly hoping we can repeat that success with the home console version.
“Given the large development costs we had on the 3DS version, we would have liked to have even a little more sales than we did in the end. But that doesn’t mean we saw it as a failure by any means.” | topicality |

Forests provide habitats for a wide variety of plants and animals, and reforestation can help to restore these habitats and support biodiversity.
Trees help to stabilize soil and prevent erosion, which can help to protect rivers and other water sources from pollution.
Trees absorb water and help to regulate water cycles, which can help to prevent droughts and floods.

A statement on Tuesday quoted the Secretary to the State Government, Mr Tokunbo Talabi, as saying that the reconstruction work will move towards Akute on the border with Lagos in the coming weeks.
He said the state and federal government share a cordial relationship towards finding a lasting solution to the deplorable condition of sections of the road.
Talabi stated this during a press conference at the Olusegun Osoba Press Centre, Governor’s Office, Oke-Mosan, Abeokuta, the state capital, on Tuesday.
The SSG said, “What is happening is that the road is already contracted out and so it makes it difficult to go into a contracted road.
On the source of funding, in recent times, he said that the governor had personally delivered financial options to the Minister of Works, but they said no, that it was not going to work. We made another, they said it was not going to work and we did the third. We have moved around all the agencies that can support those options and they are in line.”
Speaking further, Talabi attributed the poor condition of the road to more than 15 years of neglect, assuring the people that there would be a major improvement in the next two weeks.
The statement added, “Explaining some of the steps taken to address workers and pensioners’ demands, the SSG disclosed that the state government would henceforth pay gross salary to workers beginning from July, while the N500m quarterly release to upset pensioners’ entitlements would also be sustained.
Talabi who disclosed that “a total sum owed pensioners stood between N60b to N70b, also added that the total worker’s deductions amount to about N10b, stating that the state government was working towards settling the outstanding arrears by the end of 2022.”
Speaking earlier, the Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Abdulwaheed Odusile, while briefing on the decisions taken at the State Executive Council meeting held Monday, revealed that the state government has awarded contracts for the construction of some roads across the three Senatorial districts. | topicality |

Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Geng Shuang called the references an attempt to pass the buck and stigmatize China while it has worked to fight the pandemic domestically and internationally.
Geng added that China was completely transparent when it disclosed information about the coronavirus since the epidemic started.
“For more than two months, China has provided timely information to the U.S. and the two sides have also carried out technological cooperation,” Geng said.
“Over the past two months and more, the Chinese people have united as one to fight against the epidemic, gaining valuable time for the rest of the world. But it is a pity, as many U.S. media and specialists have noted, that the U.S. has wasted the precious time China has bought.” | topicality |

Inspector Paul Crick said that, overall, the town had seen a 13 per cent drop in crime – a decline of 413 incidents – in the last 12 months compared to 2011.
He said it was particularly pleasing that there had been a significant fall in the number of anti-social behaviour incidents recorded, with 752 fewer incidents taking place – a reduction of nearly 30 per cent.
“It has been an outstanding year in terms of crime numbers,” said Mr Crick.
“These results follow a great deal of targeted work aimed at the night-time economy and licensing regulations as well as partnership actions taken against offenders.”
The trend in falling crime was followed on New Year’s Eve with police receiving 12 calls from people in the Sudbury area, resulting in three arrests.
“It was a reasonably steady night given that we anticipated increased calls and there was significant improvement from previous years when these numbers were effectively doubled,” said Mr Crick.
Despite the drop in crime, Mr Crick said he was still concerned about the unresolved arson attack which saw three tankers set alight at UKay Fuels’ depot in Hadleigh, while extra resources were currently being put into tackling burglary.
He added that although police were facing budget cuts, the town had not been adversely affected.
“Frontline officer numbers have been maintained and a number of new recruits are filtering through to Sudbury,” said Mr Crick.
“We have also seen an expansion in the number of volunteers linked to the station and now have three community streetwatch schemes.”
He said the police aimed to continue to keep the area a safe place to live and work in the coming year. | topicality |

Odinga, 77, who was making his fifth run at the presidency and secured 48.9% of the vote to Deputy President William Ruto’s 50.5%, said the head of the electoral commission didn’t follow due process, rendering the results declared “null and void.”
Odinga’s statement came a day after four of the nation’s seven electoral commissioners said they didn’t accept the outcome, because the process was handled in an “opaque” way.
On Tuesday, the Election Observer Group, which comprises 5,000 local monitors from civil rights and religious organizations, said the official count from the Independent and Electoral Boundaries Commission was consistent with its parallel tally, and the constitution gave the body’s Chairman Wafula Chebukati the right to declare the results.
Ruto, 55, said the IEBC had “bent over backward to accommodate everybody,” the election results spoke for themselves and their validity was being questioned by those who didn’t want to accept that they had lost. “The people of Kenya have spoken and we need to respect what they have said,” he told reporters in Nairobi after he was declared the president-elect. | topicality |

The community made the appeal in Ilorin on Tuesday through their Secretary, Muritala Yero, who led some community members to PUNCH office in Ilorin.
Speaking on the challenges faced by the community, Yero said that the only road serving the community has become a death trap as a result of the gully erosion caused by flooding whenever it rained.
He explained that the road has become impassable for the people of the community as well as visitors and traders who come to transact business in the area.
“It is always difficult for people to move to the community during each downpour,” Yero lamented.
He recalled that erosion had in the past washed away some houses while children were trapped in the gully anytime there was downpour in the area.
The secretary said, “Erosion has flooded many schools and residential buildings that were close to the road paths. The gully has crippled the socio-economic life in the community as many residents have fled the community to other developed areas of the state.” | topicality |

Despite the challenges posed by the pandemic, many electrical contractors have adapted and continued to grow. In this article, we’ll take a look back at the growth of the electrical contracting industry through COVID and explore the factors that have contributed to its success.
Increased demand for home upgrades
One of the biggest factors that has contributed to the growth of the electrical contracting industry during COVID is an increase in demand for home upgrades. With more people working and studying from home, many have decided to invest in home improvements to make their living spaces more comfortable and functional. This has created new opportunities for QTP Queensland electrical contractors, who have been in high demand to install and upgrade electrical systems in homes.
Remote work technology
Another factor that has contributed to the growth of the electrical contracting industry during COVID is the increased demand for remote work technology. With many people working from home, businesses have had to upgrade their technology systems to support remote work. This has created new opportunities for electrical contractors, who have been in high demand to install and upgrade data and networking systems.
More emphasis on remote work and automation
Many businesses have transitioned to remote work during the pandemic, leading to increased demand for automation and other technological solutions. Electrical contractors have been working to install and maintain electrical systems that support these changes, including data networks and communication systems.
Focus on safety and health measures
The pandemic has led to increased emphasis on safety and health measures, both in the workplace and in public spaces. Electrical contractors have been tasked with installing new systems and equipment that support these measures, such as touchless switches, UV-C disinfection systems, and ventilation upgrades.
Despite the challenges posed by the pandemic, electrical contractors havembeen deemed essential services and have been able to continue operating during lockdowns and other restrictions. This has allowed electrical contractors to continue providing critical services to their clients, including repairs and maintenance, and has helped to ensure that their businesses have remained stable during the pandemic.
The government has provided financial support to businesses affected by the pandemic, including electrical contractors. This support has helped to ensure that electrical contractors have been able to continue operating, even during the most challenging times. Additionally, the government has also provided financial incentives for businesses to invest in new technologies and upgrades, which has helped to drive growth in the electrical contracting industry.
Despite the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, the electrical contracting industry has continued to grow and adapt. Factors such as increased demand for home upgrades, remote work technology, essential services, and government support have all contributed to the industry’s success. As the world continues to navigate the impacts of the pandemic, it’s clear that the electrical contracting industry will continue to play a critical role in supporting the needs of businesses and individuals. | topicality |

The debate today is not whether social media is required for a political party but how effectively can you reach out to online voters. Bharatiya Janata Party has been a torch bearer in the country when it comes to technology and use of social media.
Carrying the same thoughts further to boost its campaign on social media, the BJP has decided to depute people called ‘social media warriors’ with its candidates to help them connect with educated voters. Around 20-25 people have been hired and these are trained people who will be assisting the party’s candidates.
The social media cell at the Delhi BJP office, which has recruited the team, has also confirmed that the hired ‘social media warriors’ are already being given a list of issues and candidates they will be assisting. These trained people will take a break from their work a week before polling which is considered to be the most crucial time to attract floating votes and social media will help candidates tap those votes. While the majority of hiring has been done from the country, there has been a team from London and Sydney who will be coordinating with BJP prior to polling, added Khem Chand Sharma, coordinator, media cell, Delhi BJP.
The recent hiring of BJP comes right before the country is going to witness Delhi elections next month. While the party definitely has a massive support from its fan boys on social media but deploying trained staff with candidates who might have a poor understanding on the technology front will only help the party to better its prospects before the general elections in the country in 2014.
Last we had heard that the BJP’s PM candidate Narendra Modi had assigned Rajesh Jain and BG Mahesh to drive the 2014 general elections social media campaign. There after the duo have been putting together a 100-member content and technology team in Bangalore to drive Modi’s internet campaign. The latest hiring of ‘social media warriors’ strengthens BJP’s growing social media presence. | topicality |

This is the third year the recreation center has invited community members to the drive-thru trick-or-treat event that replaced its annual Spook and Splash Halloween swim event during the COVID-19 pandemic. The event has been so popular the last three years, staff are likely to continue it, said Recreation Center Supervisor Kelly Schudde.
“I think we’re going to run with it,” she said. “It’s such an efficient way that we can actually get more people to participate than if they were just in the (recreation) building.”
According to Schudde, about 450 to 500 vehicles make their way through the recreation parking lot lined with princesses, superheroes and monsters. Two new features this year that many kids were excited about were mermaids and the Grinch.
“This year we just aren’t turning people away,” she said “We are just taking as many as we can.”

Barakat made these remarks at a press conference that the SOC held on Friday to talk about the political process and to clarify the reform measures that the SOC introduced to membership and bylaws.
The conference was also attended by SOC’s President Salem al-Meslet, Head of the Syrian Interim Government Abdurrahman Mustafa, Secretary-General Haitham Rahma, a number of members of the political committee, and coordinators of committees, departments and offices.
Barakat said that the reform process that the SOC has initiated is a comprehensive plan which began with the study of the SOC’s bylaws and then approved by the General Assembly. He also said that this move will be followed by subsequent moves with the aim of expansion, strengthening legitimacy and representation.
Barakat indicated that the alternatives to the components that were removed are local councils and unions, adding that there have been lengthy communications and discussions with political blocs outside the SOC that have an effective and important role in Syria.
He stressed that the reform process came as a result of popular pressures that the SOC felt during its consultation with the various revolutionary and civil gatherings and blocs across the liberated areas. He also said that reforms came in response to popular demands that intertwined with a real desire on the part of the SOC to accomplish this process.

That’s according to the Center for Countering Disinformation at the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine, Ukrinform reports.
The U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation has wrested control of thousands of routers and firewall appliances from Russian military hackers by hijacking the same infrastructure Moscow’s spies were using to communicate with the devices, according to Reuters .

The unusual operation was a pre-emptive move to stop Russian hackers from mobilizing the compromised devices into a“botnet” – a network of hacked computers that can bombard other servers with rogue traffic.
Meanwhile, the BanderaHackers group attacked five state-owned Belarusian procurement and export platforms, gaining access to confidential information and defacing their websites with anti-war appeals.
Anonymous earlier hacked the all-Russian state television and radio broadcaster, which operates Rossiya 1 TV, and attacked the server of a Lipetsk-based producer of components for anti-aircraft missile systems.
As Ukrinform reported, in early April, the Anonymous said it had published personal data of 120,000 Russian military servicemen deployed in Ukraine.

A business woman is reaching to the public for assistance after her business office was broken into three times in the last two weeks. Terri Steffany, who owns several local businesses, said the first time her office was burglarized was two weekends ago, the second time last week, with the latest break- in Monday night.
The business woman said their main office was ransacked and the culprits got away with cash, beer, cigarettes and other items. She said police were contacted when the first incident occurred — and now it’s the third incident and yet no one has been held accountable for what happened.
Steffany said she was told by police officers at the West Substation they have forwarded the case to the Criminal Investigation Division (CID). However, when she arrived at the Central station, the officers there said they had yet to receive any case pertaining to the burglaries at her business office.
Steffany said the culprits entered into the office by breaking down the main door.
Spokesperson for the Department of Public Safety, Deputy Commissioner Leiseau Laumoli said he just got back from a trip and he has yet to be fully briefed on the recent cases that are being investigated.
In the meantime, the local company is offering a reward for any information about the culprits who burglarized their main office. The “REWARD” advertisement can be seen in today’s issue of Samoa News. | topicality |

In its 2014 Quadrennial Defense Review (QDR), the Pentagon noted that the combination of climate events such as warmer temperatures and rising sea levels, together with growing population, urbanisation and economic growth, could have devastating effects.
The future scenario might result in rising food costs and competition for water and energy resources. It would put enormous pressure on land and infrastructure, especially in those countries that are experiencing rapid development such as China, India and Brazil.
The report says, “The pressures caused by climate change will influence resource competition while placing additional burdens on economies, societies, and governance institutions around the world.
“These effects are threat multipliers that will aggravate stressors abroad such as poverty, environmental degradation, political instability, and social tensions – conditions that can enable terrorist activity and other forms of violence.”
It adds, “The impacts of climate change may increase the frequency, scale, and complexity of future missions, including defence support to civil authorities, while at the same time undermining the capacity of our domestic installations to support training activities.”
However, the Pentagon remained vague on potential solutions to the crisis it highlighted and reducing its own emissions. It said that the Defence Department “will employ creative ways to address the impact of climate change, which will continue to affect the operating environment and the roles and missions that US Armed Forces undertake”.
It also said, “Our actions to increase energy and water security, including investments in energy efficiency, new technologies, and renewable energy sources, will increase the resiliency of our installations and help mitigate these effects.” | topicality |

He said that despite making all the signings the team has failed to improve collectively and this is why they are struggling in the Premier League.
Ian Wright said the team needs to learn how to defend collectively and that there is so much space between the midfield and the defence when they lose the ball. He believes that this is the main reason that they have conceded so many goals since the start of the season.
The former England international said that it is the responsibility of every player to help the team defend when they lost possession and not rely solely on the defence. He said that Unai Emery should devise a tactic to help the team has a better balance between attack and offence.
Ian Wright said that there are also some players that are underperforming at the moment. He said that so far Pepe has not justified the record price that Arsenal has paid for him and that he needs to show improvement. He said that they cannot rely on Aubameyang for goals and that they need to cater for the absence of Lacazette.
Ian Wright said that Arsenal has a good nucleus of young players and that the future seems bright. He said that Unai Emery is doing a great job when it comes to developing young players and that this will be beneficial in the long run.
The former Arsenal striker said that the team needs to be more consistent and that they have a good chance of making it into the top four this season. He said that the other big teams are struggling at the moment and that the Gunners should seize the opportunity to make it into the Champions League places. | topicality |

The rest are veterinary nurses who will help protect public health and control animal diseases transferable to human beings.
“The development is crucial because in the next two to five year’s nearly all the present staff of the Veterinary Services Department (VSD) will retire,” the Chief Veterinary Officer, Dr Asiedu Baah, has said.
He spoke in an interview with the Daily Graphic last week Wednesday at a training programme for the new recruits in Accra.
Up until the new recruits were engaged, he said, the VSD had a staff strength of 55 professionals of which 45 were in active service with the rest being staff on retirement who had been re-engaged to manage the department’s 216 district directorates.
“The recruitment exercise is very important as it brings to 113 the number of veterinary professionals we have in the country. Although the number is still small compared to the number of district directorates we operate, it is better than last year,” he said.
Dr Baah said the new recruits had already been posted to the various regions and districts where the Rearing for Food and Jobs (RFJ) programme was being implemented.
He explained that the professionals recruited were among a batch that had graduated since 2016 but had remained unemployed due to the government’s inability to absorb them into the system.
He said improving the staff strength of the VSD was among promises the government made when it took office in 2017.
“The development is very important as it will contribute positively to the Rearing for Food and Jobs programme which was launched in June this year.
Consequently, we have posted the recruits to the areas where their services are needed,” he said. | topicality |

against some members of the security forces.
This comes in the wake of five women who reported through a local non-governmental organisation more than a month after the alleged offence.
The women are alleging to have been raped during the disturbances which occurred in January.
Police chief spokesperson Commissioner Charity Charamba says the police will continue to investigate all cases to ensure finality.
Zimbabwean stakeholders are on record calling for all the alleged victims to come forward and report.
In Zimbabwe, there are many channels of reporting rape and the police victim friendly unit is one of the first ports of call while hospitals and clinics have facilities that offer post exposure prophylaxis to prevent HIV infections.
The situation on the ground indicates that none of the alleged victims approached these centres up until a local NGO brought them to police more than a month after the alleged offence. | topicality |

A statement released by the secretary to the state government, Solo Chukwulobelu, says the military officers were in some schools in Ozubulu in Ekwusigo local government area to carry out free medical outreach.
Some mischief-makers created tension in the area by claiming that the soldiers were there to inject the students with the virus. Some parents rushed to the schools to withdraw their wards.
The state government says it has contacted the military to put on hold the medical outreach until the residents of the state are fully sensitized. It also advised parents to stop withdrawing their children from schools. | topicality |

The Kelantan government should concentrate on rebuilding the state instead of putting its energy into getting the hudud law passed.
Seremban Member of Parliament Anthony Loke said the state government should put the people’s needs first.
He was commenting on the Merdeka Centre survey which found that the people wanted the state government to concentrate on rebuilding the state instead of implementing hudud.
Loke said the real issue for the people was reconstruction.
“I hope the Kelantan state leaders will heed the call of the people to place importance on rebuilding the state after the major destruction caused by the recent floods.”
Also commenting on the issue, Pandan MP Rafizi Ramli said he would wait for a report from the state government before making a statement.
“We had a meeting last Thursday on the issue.”
Kuala Krai MP Dr Mohd Hatta Ramli said the answer in the survey was logical.
“The delay in rebuilding cannot solely be the responsibility of the state government but also the federal government.”
Dr Hatta agreed that the rebuilding was going slowly, adding that hudud and rebuilding were two different issues.
He added that the state and federal governments needed to work together to rebuild the state. | topicality |

The Palestinian resistance groups, including Hamas Movement, have affirmed that the Gaza Strip and its resistance are unbreakable and able to impose their will on the Israeli occupation.
In relevant remarks last year, Hamas Spokesman Hazem Qasem said that “Gaza would extract its right to live with freedom and dignity and would break the siege”, adding, “The resistance exercises its right to defend its own people against Israel’s aggression and will continue to do so every time the occupation attacks the Palestinian people.”

File photo of Jamaica's Chief Medical Officer, Dr Jacquiline Bisasor McKenzie, addressing journalists at a press conference.
The Ministry of Health and Wellness has increased the level of testing being done across the island for the new coronavirus, COVID-19.
Speaking at at press conference at Jamaica House on Monday evening, the island’s Chief Medical Officer, Dr Jacquiline Bisasor McKenzie, said that preparations are also being made for additional bed space, with the community-transmission phase of the virus expected to start shortly.
Community transmission, according to the World Health Organisation (WHO), is the stage in which the transmission of the virus, for a large number of people, is not traceable.
Bisasor McKenzie said, “we have now increased surveillance to broaden the number of persons who we are testing, who we are identifying... we are testing now, all severe acute respiratory illnesses that are presenting to our hospitals. So all of these persons will be tested.
“Initially we were testing only those that came from what we call our sentinel hospital, prescribed hospitals that we would expect to see a volume of these persons,” she said.
According to Bisasor McKenzie, over the last week, 36 individuals who have shown up at hospitals across the island with acute respiratory illnesses, such as pneumonia and severe respiratory infections, have been tested. She said all those results came back negative.
She said that the assumption is that once community spread starts taking place, there will be an increase in the number of persons who will turn up at hospitals showing these symptoms.
Bissasor McKenzie said the testing will be done, whether these individuals were in contact with those who have already confirmed as being positive for the virus and this will also be done at accident and emergency departments of hospitals, as well as at health centres.
She aid, “once we start testing like this, once we have community transmission, we will be able to identify, right across the island, where it is that cases are.”
Meanwhile, she said the Ministry of Health and Wellness have already identified 316 beds in hospitals in designated COVID-19 wards.
She said the ministry has started the process of procuring additional critical high-dependency unit beds, ventilators, suction machines, infusion pumps and the necessary paraphernalia for the expected increase in hospitalisations.
She said, “we have started that process and some of these equipment have already come in place." | topicality |

“The Senate will pass the 2016 budget on schedule, for the unimpeded and timely delivery of government services next year,” Drilon said in a press statement.
He said the Senate will start soon its plenary deliberations on the proposed national budget, noting it has already received the 2016 General Appropriations Act version of the House of Representatives which was passed on third reading last October 9.
On Sunday, Presidential spokesperson Edwin Lacierda expressed hope the budget will be passed before the yearend “so that we can immediately implement the budget for the next year.”
Drilon added that aside from the 2016 budget, the proposed Bangsamoro Basic Law will be on the top of the Senate’s agenda as it resumes its sessions Tuesday after a month-long legislative break.
He said that they will resume working on the Bangsamoro Basic Law, which is currently pending on second reading at the Senate floor.
“We will continue to work hard on it so hopefully, it will hurdle the Senate before the year ends,” he said.
Drilon said the Senate has also made a priority and will strive to pass the proposed act increasing the monthly pension under the Social Security System (SSS), a measure which he is personally supporting.
The Senate leader later said that they will also continue to push the passage of other priority measures when sessions resume, such as the Customs and Tariff Modernization Act, the Public-Private Partnership Act, and the amendments to the charter of the Philippine Deposit Insurance Corporation (PDIC).

The police said the plane landed safely at around 8:55 a.m. and that passengers had been escorted off the flight.
Stansted Airport said in a statement that the flight, which originated in Kaunas, Lithuania, had landed safely, where it was met by police officers. Flight operations had been briefly halted, the airport said, but flights were subsequently “arriving and departing as normal.”
As photographs and videos of the fighter jet circulated on social media, passengers said on Twitter that flights at the airport had been grounded and were idling on the runways.
It was not immediately clear why the plane had been escorted to the airport. Loud noises were reported by people in the area, but the police said that the sounds had been produced by a military aircraft.
“We can now confirm that the loud bangs heard across Suffolk this morning was a sonic boom produced by military aircraft,” the police wrote on Twitter. The police said that several people had called to ask what was causing the loud noise.
Since the 1970s, Stansted Airport has been the designated facility for receiving flights after security alerts, according to a police press officer. | topicality |

Prime Minister Imran Khan on Wednesday said it is the government’s top priority to protect the environment.
Addressing the 7th Asian Regional Conservative Forum of International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), the premier said the drastic population growth and lack of interest by previous governments have devastated wildlife and forests in Pakistan.
The premier also said that the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government was the first to deal with climate change by launching the Billion Tree Tsunami project, noting that the reason for its success was because locals – including women and children – were involved in the initiative.
“This year we will launch a massive tree plantation drive across the country as the necessary planning and infrastructure – including nurseries – have been developed in the first year,” said the premier.
He also said that the pollution situation in New Delhi is frightening.
“I remember going to India in the ’70s. It used to be one of the cleanest cities. A similar thing is happening in Lahore. It’s one of the most polluted cities now.
“In 10 years, they have cut off 70 percent of the trees. That’s one of the main reasons why pollution has increased” he said.
PM Imran also mentioned that the youth will take the movement to protect the environment forward, adding that environmental protection will also be included in the school syllabus.
“People who worry about the environment are great human beings, I consider them spiritual because all religions talk about being selfless and thinking about others,” he concluded. | topicality |

During the six months, the agro-forestry-fisheries sector recorded a growth rate of 1.19 percent and contributed 11.89 percent to the overall economic growth. The respective figures for industry – construction are 2.98 percent and 73.14 percent, and the services sector 0.57 percent and 14.97 percent.
GSO Deputy General Director Nguyen Thi Huong said facing complex developments of COVID-19 that have negatively affected all socio-economic aspects, the whole political system, the Government and the Prime Minister have given the top priority to the pandemic fight and showed the determination to protect people’s health and lives, even at the expense of economic benefits.
This is the solid foundation for the Vietnamese economy to sustain growth and avoid contraction, she said, adding that the data show all-level authorities, enterprises and people’s success in concurrently combating the coronavirus, maintaining production and business activities, and gradually bringing the economy to the pre-pandemic status./. | topicality |

"Pakistan strongly condemns the killing of a Pakistani soldier by the Indian army yesterday in Khoi Ratta sector along the LoC," the foreign ministry said.
"The killing of our soldier who had lost his way and inadvertently crossed the LoC, goes against the understanding reached between Pakistan and India on speedy return of inadvertent line crossers and has the potential to further vitiate the atmosphere," a statement said.
The foreign ministry said that Pakistan has called upon the government of India to carry out a thorough investigation into this unfortunate incident and to ensure that such incidents do not recur.
Earlier the army termed the killing of its soldier as "inhuman and brutal" and said that the soldier was killed after he had identified himself. | topicality |

Bancel said the efficacy of the current booster shot will decline over the next several months and people will need a fourth jab before winter 2022.
People with underlying health conditions will need annual Covid boosters indefinitely, according to Bancel.
Bancel’s comments come just one day after the CDC said the term ‘fully vaccinated’ is being replaced with ‘up-to-date’ shots.
Moderna CEO Stephane Bancel on Thursday said the efficacy of boosters against Covid-19 will likely decline over time, and people may need a fourth shot in the fall of 2022 to increase their protection.
Bancel said people who received their boosters in the fall of 2021 will likely have enough protection to get them through the winter, when new infections surge as people gather indoors to escape the cold.
However, Bancel said the efficacy of boosters will probably decline over the course of several months, similar to what happened with the first two doses. The Moderna chief was interviewed by Goldman Sachs during the investment bank’s health-care CEO conference.
“I still believe we’re going to need boosters in the fall of ’22 and forward,” Bancel said, adding that people who are older or have underlying health conditions might need annual boosters for years to come.
“We have been saying that we believe first this virus is not going away,” Bancel said. “We’re gonna have to live with it.” | topicality |

New Delhi: Calling India as one of its most precious partners, Israeli Ambassador to India Dr Ron Malka has said that it is important for Israel that India emerges as a very strong economy.
Malka, who was interacting with the press on the eve of Israel’s 71st Independence Day, said that the two countries were working together in many fields. “India is one of our most precious partners and we share the same vision. We are cooperating at a very great level in the field of economy and technology and it is important for us that India emerges as a strong economy,” Malka said.
Malka, who was appointed in the said position last year by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, is a political appointee rather than a career diplomat. He has worked as a senior lecturer at the College of Law and Business and Dean of the graduate programme in financial markets and banking. He has also served as a director and acting chairman of the Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange.
Responding to a question, Malka said that irrespective of who comes to power in India on 23 May, the ties between India and Israel will continue to grow. “The relations between India and Israel are not between individuals, but two countries. It does not matter who is in power. The chemistry between individuals or parties helps, but it doesn’t matter who is in power. Regardless of which party comes to power, the relations between the two countries will grow and flourish.” He added that India was on the right track with regards to economy. “Sound and brave decisions need to be taken when it comes to economy—steps which are painful in the short term, but pay off in the long term,” he said. Malka said that the scheduled visit of Netanyahu to India was postponed due to issues related to schedule. “He will come, there were issues related to schedule because of elections taking place in both the countries,” he said. | topicality |

“The ministry submitted a request to the Public Services Commission and the Finance Ministry to appoint a total of 1,899 medical officers on contract for the purpose of supporting the healthcare services during the Covid-19 pandemic period," he said in a statement on Monday (Oct 12).
Dr Adham also said that the ministry had earlier beefed up efforts to manage the increasing numbers of Covid-19 cases.
He said the ministry had taken several measures, such as mobilising medical personnel from certain states and health facilities to states and facilities low in resources.
He also said that the additional support staff the ministry had requested included research officers, nurses and laboratory technicians.
He said the request was submitted on Oct 9, in line with government approval under the Prihatin Economic Stimulus Package for the Health Ministry to increase the number of medical officers on a contract basis.
He also said that in addition to health facilities such as hospitals and clinics, additional medical officers will also be sent to quarantine centres across the country.
“They will also be deployed at the country's entry points such as Kuala Lumpur International Airport to ensure access can be managed more smoothly and efficiently," he said.

He said the vaccines used for the animals against the disease and those used to cure persons bitten by infected animals were all out of stock.
Mr. Fuseini in an interview with the Ghana News Agency (GNA) at Bawku recently said vaccination against the disease was an annual exercise, but nothing of this sort had taken place this year due to an acute shortage of the vaccines.
He explained that animals such as dogs, cats and monkeys that carried the disease were human pets and could easily transmit the dangerous disease to people.
Mr. Fuseini called on government and other stakeholders to stock the office with the vaccines and related drugs to prevent the disease from spreading.
He also said that the new castle (bird disease) and anthrax (animal disease) were predominant in the area and that about 56,826 birds and 16,000 cattle were vaccinated against the diseases.
Mr. Fuseini said that the Bawku Municipal Veterinary Office had recorded 16 cases of new castle and two cases of anthrax two years ago, and added that the diseases took two human lives in the area.
He called on government and other development partners to help strengthen the Veterinary Services Department in the country to enable it discharge its duties effectively. | topicality |

The Oyo State Commissioner of Police, Shina Olukolu, has revealed that the state police command is already recruiting volunteers into the IGP, Mohammed Adamu’s community policing initiative.
Olukolu stated this on Friday during the commissioning of an administrative building donated to the Egbeda divisional police headquarters by the CEO of Crime Alert Security Network, Mr Amos Gbenga Olaniyan, through the facilitation of the Egbeda Police Community Relations Committee (PCRC).
Speaking further, the police boss said those being recruited are between the ages of 21 and 40, and they must be respected members of the communities who are also gainfully employed.
The police commissioner said the recruitment, which is being done at the local government level, with the support of the traditional rulers, would help boost the synergy between the police and members of the public, especially in the area of intelligence sharing, which will then lead to crime-free communities.
Olukolu, thereafter, commended the gesture of Mr Olaniyan, saying the project would go a long way in making the work of policemen at Egbeda division easier.
He said the IGP’s initiative, which is community policing, would help foster a common goal between the police and members of the public in the area of security.
Olukolu then commended members of the Egbeda PCRC for their support to the police in their community, adding that it would make the policemen go the extra mile in the discharge of their duties.
Earlier, the CEO of Crime Alert, Mr Olaniyan, said it is high time the police and other security agencies partnered with the private sector to improve security in the country.
He said the government could not do everything alone “and that is why it is important the private sector is brought on board in order to tackle the security challenges facing the country.”
Olaniyan also called on the Federal Government to embrace technology in order to overcome the country’s security problems.
“The government must realise that technology will make everything we do easier, and we should not be suffering in silence when there are technologies that can make the work of our security agencies easier in busting crime. | topicality |

During the interaction, she said that in five years, respect for India has increased in the world.
She also said, “People rely on Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the countrymen feel safe with the Modi Government in power at the centre.”
The Defence Minister said that in 2014 the people of India gave a clear majority to the Bharatiya Janata Party on which Prime Minister Narendra Modi built a strong foundation.
Raksha Mantri Sitharaman said that Rajiv Gandhi was the Prime Minister of the country and later became martyred. She said we respect him, but this does not mean that we cannot talk about the mismanagement, corruption and policies of his government.
She said whenever the escape of Warren Anderson, the accused of Bhopal gas tragedy, will be discussed, the misdeed of Rajiv Gandhi government will come to fore.
Minister Sitharaman further said that some of Modi's recent statements were a reaction to repeated attacks on him by the Congress and other opposition parties. "The way the opposition parties and their leaders were hurling abuses at the prime minister, he, after collecting (relevant information), was paying them back," she said. | topicality |

As they grow and learn, it’s important to continue providing them with opportunities to engage in physical activities that will further promote their development. In this article, we will discuss why preschoolers need physical education and the benefits of physical activities for preschoolers.
Physical education is an essential aspect of a preschooler’s development. Physical activities for preschoolers help to develop their motor skills, coordination, and balance. It also helps them to build strength and endurance, which is vital for their overall physical development. Preschoolers who participate in physical education tend to have better motor skills, coordination, and balance, which can help them in their daily lives.
Physical activities for preschoolers can also aid in cognitive development. Studies have shown that physical education can improve a child’s cognitive function, including memory, attention, and problem-solving skills. It can also promote creativity and imagination, which is essential for their overall cognitive development.
Physical education also plays a significant role in a preschooler’s social development. Physical activities for preschoolers encourage teamwork, cooperation, and communication skills. It can also help them develop their self-esteem and confidence, which is crucial for their social development.
Physical activities for preschoolers also have many health benefits. Regular physical activity can reduce the risk of obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and other chronic illnesses. It can also improve their overall physical health and well-being, including their sleep patterns and mood.
Physical activities for preschoolers are essential for their overall development. Physical education can help develop their physical, cognitive, and social skills while also providing many health benefits. As parents and educators, we should encourage our preschoolers to participate in physical activities and provide them with opportunities to do so. | topicality |

He said therefore there is need to build resilience and respond to the negative impacts of climate change.

It’s the latest setback for a team that has had its games postponed at least through Monday. The team has four players on the COVID-19 list, including star winger Taylor Hall.
Two other teams — the Devils and Wild — have also paused their season due to COVID-19 issues. New Jersey has a whopping 17 players on the COVID-19 list.
The last time the Sabres played was back-to-back games against the Devils on Jan. 30 and 31.
Krueger, 61, is in his second season behind the Sabres bench. Buffalo has posted a 4-4-2 mark and is currently sixth in the East Division.
Since the season began Jan. 13, 22 games have been postponed and around 90 players have appeared on the league’s COVID-19 protocol-related absence list.
On Thursday, the league announced stricter arena protocols to battle the spread of the virus — including removing the glass behind the benches to increase air flow. | topicality |

He also said for those currently ineligible for the CERB, like students or people working 10 hours or less per week, help would be coming to help them as well.
Trudeau also addressed the recent tensions with the U.S. over medical equipment shipments, saying there have been “very productive” discussions with the U.S. He said they have seen “a number of situations” in which shipments from various countries have been delayed, and said it continues to be an ongoing problem. Trudeau was responding to a report that a shipment of three million masks were stopped at the U.S.-Canada border.
Canada’s chief public health officer Dr. Theresa Tam said on Monday that transmission has been happening more often than previously thought right before development of symptoms, as well as evidence of asymptomatic transmission. As a result, she said the special advisory committee for COVID-19 has determined wearing a non-medical mask can help people prevent transmission to others and protect others.

The bench sought a response from the Centre on the report filed by the Supreme Court Committee on Road Safety, headed by former apex court judge Justice K S Radhakrishnan. Further hearing will be in January. The top court had on July 20 expressed its concern over the deaths and observed that the number fatalities due to such accidents was more than those in terror attacks. Observing that the situation is is frightening, the top court had asked the Supreme Court Committee on Road Safety to look into the matter. The bench had also said that people who have lost their lives as a result of accidents due to potholes should be entitled to compensation. It was a matter of common knowledge that a large number of people have died in such accidents and authorities, who were supposed to maintain the roads, were not doing their duty properly, the bench had said. Referring to media reports, the top court had said, “So many people are dying in the country due to accidents caused by potholes on roads. Reports say that more people have died due to accident caused by potholes than the deaths in terrorists attacks”. | topicality |

As the COVID-19 pandemic swelled across the nation, restaurants and food production plants were among the places thought to be causing the spread of the virus more rapidly. North Carolina State University Extension specialists turned out a team effort to help these food providers stay viable during a time when food shortages were prevalent.
NC State Extension provided food safety information for the food industry in multiple ways. Conducting more than 50 webinars, creating 130 information resources and participating in 300 media interviews, Extension specialists supplied the state and region’s food industry with vital information on how to protect the food supply, customers and employees.
Among the offerings, the “Count on Me” program that reached 250,000 food handlers with information on how to safely reopen retail food establishments. Other information resources covered grocery shopping, bulk meat sales, gardening, food banks, farmers markets and many other food industry related concerns. This information was vital to maintaining food security during a time of upheaval in the food supply chain.
It’s estimated these efforts and many more helped North Carolina’s $21.4 billion restaurant industry reopen safely, keeping some 500,000 people employed in the state. | topicality |
