The highly acclaimed Far Cry 5 is arriving on Game Pass on Friday, July 1, Microsoft has revealed. In its latest "Coming to Game Pass" update, Xbox gave a rundown of the new Game Pass titles arriving in the rest of June as well as at the start of next month. The Shadowrun Trilogy (cloud and console) and Total War: Three Kingdoms (PC) launched on the subscription service today, with FIFA 22 (console and PC) and martial arts battle royale Naraka: Bladepoint arriving on Thursday, June 23. The big headliner is Far Cry 5, which will be the most recent game in Ubisoft's prolific series to be available on Game Pass. And the good news is that it isn't exclusive to any one platform - all Game Pass subscribers will be able to play Far Cry 5 on the cloud, console, and PC when it gets added on July 1. In case you haven't played it, our 4/5-star review from 2018 might be of some encouragement. We heaped praise on the more focused gunplay, highly explorable locales, and dynamic side missions. "Far Cry 5 is a continuation of everything you remember about the series, but an instalment that’s taken a good look at itself, and what it does, to work out the best possible way of doing it," reads the review. "The compact, more streamlined design never feels small and instead comes across as more achievable and event filled." https://www.msn.com/en-us/entertainment/gaming/far-cry-5-is-coming-to-game-pass-in-july/ar-AAYIIvZ?ocid=BingNewsSearch

One of Amazon's latest daily deals knocks half off a powerful Shark robot vacuum. The Shark AV1010AE robot vacuum with clean base is down to $300 today only, which is 50 percent less than its usual rate and the best price we've seen it. It shares many features with the Shark machine that made it onto our list of best robot vacuums, including home mapping, Alexa and Google voice control and the convenience of a clean base. We've been generally impressed with Shark's robot vacuums, with both high-end and affordable models earning spots in our guides. The AV1010AE is a mid-tier machine featuring improved carpet cleaning with multi-surface brush rolls, suction that's powerful enough to capture pet hair along with dirt and debris and row-by-row cleaning. It'll also map out your home as it cleans so you can then send the machine to specific rooms for more targeted cleaning. Shark's robot vacuum connects to WiFi so you can control it via its companion mobile app. Not only can you start and stop cleaning jobs from there, but you can also set schedules so the machine cleans routinely on certain days and times. If the robo-vac starts to run out of juice before it's done cleaning, its Recharge and Resume feature will force the machine back to its base to power up, and once it has a sufficient amount of battery power, it'll automatically pick up where it left off. And you won't have to tend to the vacuum every job thanks to the included clean base it'll empty its dustbin into the clean base after its done cleaning, so you'll only have to empty the base once every 45 days or so. We also appreciate that Shark's base is bagless, so you're not forced to buy proprietary garbage bags for it. The clean base is a big perk of this sale as it's pretty rare to find a robot vacuum that comes with one for only $300. As a mid-tier device, the AV1010AE doesn't have all of the features we tested out on the model that made it into our best robot vacuums guide (RV2502AE). The AV1010AE doesn't have AI laser vision, so it won't be as good at avoiding obstacles as other models, and lacks self-cleaning brush rolls as well as PowerFin Technology. The latter refers to flexible silicon fins found on some Shark machines that help get deeper into carpets and pick up more hair. If you're willing to skip those advanced features, you'll still get a solid robot vacuum in the Shark AV1010AE without spending too much money. https://www.engadget.com/sharks-wifi-robot-vacuum-with-clean-base-is-half-off-today-only-130300519.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuYmluZy5jb20v&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAL0PE9BD5LwZDFZzsBdMOLxTsXWMiM6nZ91c6jgFFF3mvvnVSk3crc-clAKOX13mSQZ7bp_MwXEqAxwatwR7G9pzdVDRVWgPAZhHFmaTnM9oHSXkWsztlQjvvfjr9lZGTlBS0oIUHZYByoKVq0Kc7FAKz2gM54lR19g08lTQjn1t

A Leamington Spa-based reseller of 3D design software has been acquired by a US group as part of a deal which provides an exit for mid-market private equity firm LDC. Solid Solutions, an independent provider of SOLIDWORKS, a 3D computer-aided design (CAD) package, has been snapped up by US-based technology and business services partner for designers, engineers and manufacturers, TriMech. Founded in 1998, Solid Solutions supports a community of more than 16,000 customers across the UK and Ireland, which includes product designers, mechanical engineers, manufacturers, and educational institutions. LDC backed the company's management team, led by chief executive and founder Alan Sampson, CTO Simon Turner and CSO Kathy Sampson in 2020. Since then, the private equity firm helped Solid Solutions to acquire Design Rule and Desktop Engineering in 2021. Over the past two years, Solid Solutions has grown revenues by more than 35 per cent, up to £73m in its latest financial year. Today, the business employs more than 250 people. Rob Schofield, partner at LDC, said: "Our partnership with Solid Solutions is a fantastic example of how private equity investment can support a founder-owned family business to realise its growth plans. Its success is down to the hard work of the management team and its employees. "This transaction finds a good home for the business and represents an excellent outcome for everyone at Solid Solutions. We wish them all the best for the future." The transaction was led by LDC's West Midlands team. TriMech is a portfolio company of Sentinel Capital Partners, a US private equity firm that invests in companies with EBITDA of up to $80m. As part of the transaction, Sampson will be appointed president of TriMech's UK and European business and the wider management team will remain in place. Sampson added: "Rob and the rest of the team at LDC fully supported our strategy to grow our business. They encouraged us to be bold with our plans, and to act quickly and efficiently for the benefit of our customers. We could not have asked for a more supportive and engaging partner." LDC and Solid Solutions were advised by Alantra (corporate finance) and Gowling WLG (legal). https://www.insidermedia.com/news/midlands/ldc-exits-leamington-software-reseller

Although this year's Google developer conference was well over a month ago, today marks the tenth anniversary of I/O 2012, a landmark event for the company in both good and bad. While we've lamented the loss of joy and whimsy from recent Google events, this particular occasion was anything but. Not only did the company announce some of its most and least loved products on stage within the span of a couple of hours, but it also took to the skies in one of the most daring and infamous stunts in I/O history. Call this event "The Good, the Bad, and the Daring," because of everything that happened on stage ten years ago, the three biggest moments fall into those categories. Let's start with the daring, because it's one of the most insane things to ever occur on stage during I/O. Ninety minutes into the event, while Vic Gundotra then-Senior Vice President of Engineering was on stage, Sergey Brin came running out, interrupting a fairly dull presentation on Google+ events with some news. Brin is wearing Google Glass, a gadget announced only two months prior and still shrouded in mystery. As Brin calls his demo "time-sensitive," it becomes obvious something special is about to happen, a feeling that only multiplies as he warns, "this can go wrong in about five hundred different ways." The video screen behind the stage cuts to a live feed of San Francisco, shot from above and showing off a blimp hovering over the city skyline. As Brin tells the audience, he's there to show off Glass, and the specific model he wants to demo has been lent to a friend who happens to be a mile above the show floor. As the camera cuts to inside the aircraft, it becomes obvious we're watching history. Google is about to show a live recording over Hangouts of several Glass-equipped skydivers jumping into the air. Ten years later, it's hard to call the picture quality glorious, and some of the technical issues with broadcasting between the two locations are glaring. Still, it's a wonderful moment to watch in fact, I won't even describe what happens next in any further detail. Instead, just check out the video below. Sergey walks onto stage at about 1:27:45, though I've embedded the actual jump. In case our embed fails, the jump happens at 1:32:27. The skydivers make their way to Moscone Convention Center, the crowd cheering as their chutes fly open. After just a couple of minutes, the group lands on top of the building, the video feed cutting to a sharper image of everyone celebrating. It was, truly, an absolutely insane feat accomplished by Google, something no one ever would've expected from a developer conference, and it made Glass into a gadget nearly everyone wanted. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/technology/google-i-o-2012-set-a-high-water-mark-for-innovative-hardware-that-has-yet-to-be-approached-again/ar-AAYVS17?ocid=BingNewsSearch

Cash-strapped Sri Lanka announced a two-week halt to all fuel sales except for essential services starting Monday and called for a partial shutdown as its unprecedented economic crisis deepened. The South Asian nation is facing its worst economic meltdown since gaining independence from Britain in 1948, and has been unable to finance even the imports of essentials since late last year. As fuel reserves hit rock bottom with supplies barely enough for just one more day, government spokesman Bandula Gunawardana said the sales ban was to save petrol and diesel for emergencies. He urged the private sector to let employees work from home as public transport ground to a halt. "From midnight today, no fuel will be sold except for essential services like the health sector, because we want to conserve the little reserves we have," Gunawardana said in a pre-recorded statement. He apologised to consumers for the shortages: "We regret the inconvenience caused to the people." -Electricity shock- The sudden fuel ban came as the loss-making state-run electricity monopoly asked for a massive price increase for its poorest customers. The Ceylon Electricity Board (CEB) lost 65 billion rupees ($185 million) in the first quarter and sought a nearly tenfold price hike for the heavily-subsided smallest power consumers, the Public Utilities Commission of Sri Lanka (PUCSL) said. Currently, anyone using less than 30 kilowatts a month pays a flat 54.27 rupees ($0.15), which the CEB sought to raise to 507.65 rupees ($1.44). "A majority of the domestic consumers will not be able to afford this type of steep increase," PUCSL chairman Janaka Ratnayake told reporters in Colombo. "Hence we proposed a direct subsidy from the Treasury to keep the increase to less than half of what they have asked." As part of measures to ease the forex crisis that led to the energy crunch, the CEB will be allowed to charge users who earn foreign currency, such as exporters, in dollars. The move is aimed at helping the electricity utility collect dollars to finance imports of oil and spare parts it desperately needs, but is unable to secure because of the country's forex crisis. The country is also facing record high inflation and lengthy power blackouts, all of which have contributed to months of protests -- sometimes violent -- calling on President Gotabaya Rajapaksa to step down. Last week, all government schools were shut down and state institutions operated with skeleton staff to reduce commuting and preserve oil. The state sector shutdown was meant to end this week, but it is now being extended till July 10, when Gunawardana promised to restore fuel supplies. - Broken promise - On Sunday, the government promised it will implement a token system to ration distribution of limited fuel stocks, but it failed to take off. There have been long queues outside the few pumping stations which still had supplies. Sri Lanka is seeking cheap oil from Russia and Qatar. Earlier this month, the United Nations launched an emergency response to the island's unprecedented economic crisis, feeding thousands of pregnant women who were facing food shortages. Four out of five people in Sri Lanka have started skipping meals as they cannot afford to eat, the UN has said, warning of a looming "dire humanitarian crisis" with millions in need of aid. Sri Lanka defaulted on its $51 billion foreign debt in April, and is in talks with the International Monetary Fund for a bailout. https://www.daily-sun.com/post/629063/Sri-Lanka-suspends-fuel-sales-as-economic-crisis-worsens

ECB president gives speech at annual retreat in Portugal Meeting takes place amid fears over euro-zone debt, recession European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde affirmed plans for an initial quarter-point increase in interest rates in July but said policy makers are ready to step up action to tackle record inflation if warranted. Speaking at the ECB’s annual retreat in Sintra, Portugal, Lagarde offered reassurances that a new anti-crisis instrument yet to be announced won’t stand in the way of tackling the fastest surge in consumer prices since the euro was introduced. Her remarks underline the ECB’s base case for normalizing monetary policy as some officials float the idea of moving more aggressively. Governing Council member Martins Kazaks said earlier Tuesday that “front-loading” hikes, including a possible larger move next month, could be reasonable. Traders brought forward bets on rate increases, but only see a 25% chance of a half-point hike in July. “There are clearly conditions in which gradualism would not be appropriate,” Lagarde said. “If, for example, we were to see higher inflation threatening to de-anchor inflation expectations, or signs of a more permanent loss of economic potential that limits resource availability, we would need to withdraw accommodation more promptly.” ECB policy makers are gathering at a tumultuous time. As they gear up to raise rates for the first time in a decade, concerns are swirling about their ability to simultaneously keep debt-market jitters under control. Meanwhile, there are growing fears that a possible cutoff in Russian energy supplies would trigger a recession. Officials held an emergency meeting this month after Italian bond yields jumped, deciding to accelerate work on a new tool to address such turmoil. It’s set to be presented in the coming weeks and will probably consist of more targeted bond-buying, though purchases may be offset to avoid undermining efforts to fight inflation. Pushing back against fears that it could amount to direct financing of governments, Lagarde said the new instrument will have to contain safeguards to preserve sound fiscal policy among member states. She said it will allow rates to rise “as far as necessary,” complementing efforts to stabilize inflation at the 2% target. “We will ensure that the orderly transmission of our policy stance throughout the euro area is preserved,” Lagarde said. “We will address every obstacle that may pose a threat to our price-stability mandate.” Consumer-price growth is running at more than 8%, driven to large extent by energy and food as a result of Russia’s attack on Ukraine. Economists expect data Friday to show another acceleration in June, to 8.5%. At their last meeting, policy makers conceded that elevated inflation poses a “major challenge,” and laid out a plan to hike rates by 25 basis points next month. They also signaled a move of double that magnitude may follow in September, unless the outlook for prices eases. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-06-28/lagarde-vows-nimble-ecb-policy-as-july-rate-hike-plan-proceeds

OnePlus, according to insider reports, has scheduled the announcement of a large number of new products for the third quarter of this year, including smartphones and various wearable gadgets. In particular, already in July, according to available information, the presentation of the OnePlus 10T smartphone, will take place. This device has the flagship Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor, a 6.7-inch FHD + AMOLED display; with a refresh rate of 120 Hz and a 4800 mAh battery with support for 150 W charging. A 32-megapixel selfie camera will supposedly be located in front, and a triple rear camera will combine 50, 16 and 2 MP sensors. The operating system mentioned is OxygenOS 12 based on Android 12. ONEPLUS IS PREPARING SMARTWATCHES, HEADPHONES AND A FITNESS TRACKER Two models of fully wireless submersible headphones (TWS) are also rumored to be released. One of them will be branded Nord, while the more premium version will be branded OnePlus. Finally, we are talking about the preparation of the OnePlus Watch 2 smartwatch and the OnePlus Band 2 physical activity tracker. Unfortunately, there is no information about the technical characteristics of these gadgets yet. The source has recently shared new details about the upcoming OnePlus 10T smartphone. On the one hand, it seems to be a slightly more affordable version of the flagship OnePlus 10 Pro; and on the other hand, the 10T will surpass the current flagship in a number of parameters. So, for example, the hardware basis of OnePlus 10T will be the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 SoC. Although it is slightly, it is still faster than Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. The second point is related to the increased charging speed of OnePlus 10T; by supporting 150 W power versus 80W for the 10 Pro. The OnePlus 10T will launch in India at the end of July, with an estimated cost of $640. The amount of RAM will be 12 GB and 256 GB of flash memory. https://www.gizchina.com/2022/06/25/oneplus-is-preparing-new-wearable-devices-for-launch/

As mentioned on the official support page, Microsoft will end support for Windows 8.1 in January 2023. Find more details about the announcement here. After bidding a farewell to Internet Explorer, Microsoft is planning to end support for Windows 8.1. A couple of days ago, the Redmond-based tech giant published a support page, announcing the end of support for Windows 8.1. Additionally, the company also mentioned ways in which users should upgrade their Microsoft 365 apps to enjoy continued services. Keep reading to know more about Windows 8.1 end of support date. Windows 8.1 support ends in January 2023 As mentioned on the official support page, Microsoft will end support for Windows 8.1 on January 10, 2023, which is about six months from now. Additionally, Microsoft 365 Apps will no longer be supported on Windows 8.1 after the operating system reaches its end of support dates. The company is preparing to send notifications to users about the end of support and users on Windows 8.1 should see such reminders soon. To avoid performance and reliability issues, users are recommended to move to a newer version of Windows. Microsoft mentions that "to main the reliability and stability of Microsoft 365, we strongly recommend you take advantage of the latest hardware capabilities by moving to a new PC with Windows 11." Adding to it, Microsoft says that "Today's computers are faster, more powerful, and sleeker - plus they come with Windows 11 already installed." However, there must be a significant number of users who simply cannot upgrade to a new PC at the given time. Microsoft suggests that such users can upgrade to Windows 10 by purchasing and installing a full version of the software. Although, users should also keep in mind that Windows 10 will reach the end of support on October 14, 2025, which is about three years and four months from now. Hence, if someone's PC does not support the hardware requirements of Windows 11, upgrading to Windows 10 is still a viable option. Microsoft introduces Defenders for individuals In related news, Microsoft has launched Defender for individual subscribers of Microsoft 365, and hence, users from all the platforms including Windows, iOS, Android, and macOS will be able to use the service to protect their devices. Launching Defender, Microsoft said, "We must evolve our security solutions to meet unique customer needs at home and work by bringing together existing technologies in a new way. That is why we are introducing Microsoft Defender for individuals. It was built on our Microsoft Defender for Endpoint technology, leveraging the same trusted security that enterprises rely on." https://www.republicworld.com/technology-news/other-tech-news/microsoft-announces-end-of-support-for-windows-8-dot-1-advises-users-to-upgrade-to-windows-10-articleshow.html

This article talks about a recent interesting cloud maturity report from Seagate and the Enterprise Storage and discussion of the Open19 Linux Foundation effort to create hardware that supports sustainable data centers. Seagate sponsored a survey and report by Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG) called the Multicloud Maturity Report. 500 survey respondents from around the world participated. The participants were senior IT leaders (71%) and leaders in software development and data analytics (29%). Many organizations are spreading their workload over many data centers, trying to balance the costs for various services versus these service capabilities. The report recognizes that most clouds are not built for interoperability, but try to lock-in customers so their services are used. Where data lives it tends to attract applications, a concept often referred to as data gravity. The report refers to the difficulties in moving content between clouds as friction. In the survey, about 30% of the participants used four or more clouds. The report says that this will rise to 63% of these companies in two years. 76% of survey takers say monitoring, measuring, and ensuring service-level agreement (SLA) adherence for applications that rely on intercloud integrations is challenging. The figures below show some interesting results from the survey. As shown in the figure below, 73% of the survey participants report that their organization is hampered by data retention costs, which limits their ability to maximize data value. With the majority of survey participants indicating difficulties in deriving value from their data the economics of retaining data is reduced. The figure below shows that 57% of the surveyed business leaders said that they deleted data that they knew could be valuable because they saw the costs of storing that data to be prohibitive. The Seagate/ESG report shows the challenges and opportunities for organizations pursuing a multi-cloud strategy. The report projects that companies who achieve multicloud maturity with data driven strategies will achieve the greatest advantages form their cloud efforts. The report creates a multicloud maturity index from a cumulative metric from the survey. The report says that companies that are most adept at navigating the multicloud in terms of costs and innovation are 5.3× more likely than their peers to beat revenue goals by 10%. Organizations scoring high on multicloud maturity are 6.3× more likely to go to market months or quarters ahead of their competition. As a consequence, the report says that multicloud maturity leaders will achieve better bottom line results. Leaders in multicloud maturity were 3.2× more likely to forecast their valuation 3 years from now will be 5× or greater than it is today. Open19 is part of the Linux Foundation to promote open hardware in standard 19-inch racks for data centers and providing cable-free installation and maintenance. It was founded in May 2017 and has members from major data center and equipment companies. Open19 is intended to be deployed in edge environments as well as custom cloud data center deployments. Among the initiatives they are working on is moving from 12 to 48V DC power and providing a consistent environment for all cooling technologies (e.g. liquid cooling) in a box (or brick). Key to the organizations initiatives is removing waste and complications from rack data center deployments. Examples include removing power supplies from the boxes (bricks) and in general standardizing these bricks. By removing power from bricks, the bricks can be replaced or removed without replacing the power supplies, or vice versa. The goal is to extend the life of peripheral components and move from a 4 year to a 15-year life for many peripheral components. There is a move towards greater use of sustainable energy such as fuel cells using hydrogen. Their plans for 2030 include providing more efficient power and cooling (such as liquid cooling). Open19 also has plans to limit Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions. There are many factors in controlling this that must include shipping and manufacturing as well as operation of data center components. One possible item to tackle is packaging used to ship hardware to data centers, today this is thrown out to reduce fire hazards, are there other options? Seagate and the Enterprise Storage Group released a multi-cloud maturity report showing that organizations who do the best job of integrating their multi-cloud strategies will have faster time to market, control their costs better and have a better bottom line. Open19 is a Linux Foundation effort to create hardware that supports sustainable data centers. https://www.forbes.com/sites/tomcoughlin/2022/06/25/seagateesg-multi-cloud-maturity-and-linux-foundation-sustainable-data-center-hardware/?sh=734f364a673c

MP Arvind Sawant says, 'Political turbulence is going on in Maharashtra, many MLAs defected and have gone to Assam. We have initiated legal action against them and notice has been served to 16 MLAs till now' Devdutta Kamath and Arvind Sawant briefing media about legal action to be taken against rebel MLAs in Mumbai. Pic/Atul Kamble Amid the political crisis in Maharashtra, Shiv Sena MP Arvind Sawant informed that the party has initiated legal action and served notices to concerned MLAs. Sawant said, "Political turbulence is going on in Maharashtra, many MLAs defected and have gone to Assam. We have initiated legal action against them and notice has been served to 16 MLAs till now." Advocate Devdutta Kamat, Shiv Sena's Senior Counsel said, "Proceedings have been initiated by Shiv Sena against 16 MLAs, under the provision in the Constitution which says that if a person gives up the membership of a party then he's eligible for disqualification." "There were several meetings that were called by Shiv Sena at different times, none of which were attended by them. Visiting BJP-ruled states, meeting BJP leaders, and attempting to topple government amounts to a violation by rebels," Advocate Devdutta Kamat said. Kamat said the concept of 2-3rd (to surpass anti-defection law) applies only if there is a merger. "Until the MLAs, don't merge with another party, disqualification applies. Till today there's no merger, they have voluntarily given up membership," Adv Devdutta Kamat said. Notably, the national executive meeting of the Shiv Sena on June 25 passed six resolutions giving absolute rights to Maharashtra Chief Minister and party president Uddhav Thackeray to take action against the rebels to bring the revolt within party under control. The advocate said that under the constitution, the deputy speaker has the power of the speaker in the latter's absence and can adjudicate on such matters. "No confidence motion was sent through an unauthorized email address by rebels," he said. In a jolt to the Maha Vikas Aghadi government in Maharashtra, senior Shiv Sena Minister Eknath Shinde and other rebel MLAs revolted against the party on Monday night and camped in Surat. The rebel MLAs have shifted base to a hotel in Guwahati. Meanwhile, party MP Sanjay Raut on Thursday said the Sena is ready to quit the MVA government if the group of rebel legislators camping in Assam returns to Mumbai in 24 hours and discusses the issue with Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray. "You say you are real Shiv Sainiks and will not quit the party. We are ready to consider your demand provided you come back to Mumbai in 24 hours and discuss the issue with CM Uddhav Thackeray. Your demand will be considered positively. Don't write letters on Twitter and WhatsApp," said Raut. https://www.mid-day.com/mumbai/mumbai-news/article/maharashtra-political-crisis-shiv-sena-initiates-legal-action-against-rebels-serves-notices-to-16-mlas-23233179

Meet sweet Ava, an 8-year-old American pit bull. She has been in and out of the shelters and has been abandoned a total of three times now. Two out of those three times, Ava was left in other states but is on her way back to Fresno. The center received a call on Monday that a dog named Ava had been found as a stray in Las Vegas by a local animal control agency. They were able to track down Valley Animal Center in Fresno from Ava's microchip. The center's supervisor Ruben Cantu and his wife took it among themselves to hit the road on Saturday at 5 a.m. to pick her up. Cantu tells FOX26, that Ava is very special to him and the shelter. He says it hurts to see that this has happened to her for the third time since 2016. The first time she was deserted in a field near Orange Cove where the shelter took her in was in 2016. The second time after being adopted, she was found abandoned in Pima, Arizona in 2019. During that time, the shelter raised funds to bring Ava back home using the hashtag #BringAvaHome. The goal for the no-kill non-profit animal shelter was $800 to cover the cost of the trip by car but ended up raising more than $1,300. She was adopted once again in September of 2020. "Since her adoption in 2020, the staff at Valley Animal Center moved on believing Ava had finally found her furever home. Today, Valley Animal Center is devastated," Valley Animal Center said. Again, this week, Ava was found in Las Vegas. Her previous owners told The Animal Foundation in Las Vegas they were moving again and had left Ava in good hands with family. According to the foundation, those family members, "cut Ava loose." She should be arriving in Fresno by 7 p.m. today and will be spending the night with her best bud Cantu and his fur animals. Caption: FULL STORY:{{ }}Ava abandoned for the third time and found in Las Vegas, she's on the way back to Fresno.{p}{/p} The staff at the center says at this time, they don't know what's next for Ava but should have a clear answer by next week. They say it's a hard decision to put Ava through something like this again since she's been in and out of the shelter. Cantu says he hopes someone in the team will adopt her so they know she is in safe hands. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/fresno-dog-abandoned-for-the-3x-time-found-in-las-vegas-shes-on-the-way-back-to-fresno/ar-AAYRZeY?ocid=BingNewsSearch

Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews' yearly pay package will inch closer to half a million dollars as part of a wage rise for all state MPs. The annual base and additional salaries of Victorian parliament members, as well as their expense allowance, will lift 2.75 per cent from July 1 after a decision by the Victorian Independent Remuneration Tribunal. That is marginally higher than the 2.5 per cent raise MPs were awarded for this financial year. With the same increase across parliamentary office holder roles, the premier's annual pay package will rise to $464,918 including up to $58,435 in expense allowances. The latest ruling took into account recent pay increases of two to 2.75 per cent for Commonwealth, NSW and Queensland MPs, as well as other factors including Victoria's fiscal position and economic trends, projected national inflation of seven per cent and the 5.2 per cent minimum wage rise. 'On balance ... the tribunal has determined to increase the values of the basic salary for Victorian MPs, and the additional salaries and expense allowance for specified parliamentary office holders, by 2.75 per cent for 2022/23,' VIRT said. The 2.75 per cent rise will take the basic salary for a Victorian MP to $192,115, up about $5200 from 2021/22. Mr Andrews pointed out his government established VIRT under legislation passed in 2019 to independently manage MPs' pay. 'We don't set our own pay,' he told reporters on Sunday. He vowed to donate his pay rise, and more, to charity last year but said he would not pressure fellow Labor parliamentarians to follow suit, as they did in 2020. 'Cath and I donate to lots of different causes and we normally do that without any fanfare or any show ... as for everybody else they can make their own judgments,' Mr Andrews said. 'It was appropriate for us to make some sort of special arrangements these last couple of years because the state was doing it so tough.' His newly appointed deputy premier, Jacinta Allan, can claim as much as $395,757 in salary and expenses, if she remains in the post beyond the November state election. On the other side of the aisle, Opposition Leader Matthew Guy would be able to recoup up to $370,782 over the next 12 months - the same amount as a government minister. As well as a 2.75 per cent pay rise and general expense allowance, the tribunal has raised the amount MPs can claim for electorate and motor vehicle costs but not their maximum budget for international travel, commercial transport and parliamentary accommodation. The tribunal will further review MP allowances as part of a comprehensive assessment next year. https://www.msn.com/en-au/news/australia/melbourne-news-dan-andrews-salary-closes-in-on-dollar500000-a-year-as-politicians-given-pay-increases/ar-AAYSuhq?ocid=BingNewsSearch

Like Vinicius said, it's too early to make a request to add you to this project. I also saw that in this post you made a blind copy paste: Next time, avoid this mistake in your posts or they will be hidden.
