As my brother said, you need to read the rules first and then you need to be very active. If you can already do these, it is not difficult to join our team. So;

A group of Tory MPs is calling on Prime Minister Rishi Sunak to drastically cut migration, warning the failure to do so "risks eroding public trust". The New Conservatives have issued a 12-point plan to cut net migration by about 400,000 before the next election. The group of MPs recommend closing visa schemes for care workers, increasing salary thresholds, and capping refugee numbers. But critics say the proposals would have consequences for the UK economy. Mr Sunak's official spokesman said the government believes it is "striking the right balance between keeping migration as low as possible while providing staff for key areas". The UK's overall po[CENSORED]tion grew by more than 600,000 people last year, according to the latest figures from the Office for National Statistics. The ONS said the rise was largely driven by more people from outside the EU arriving on student and work visas, and refugees fleeing conflict and persecution in Ukraine and Hong Kong. The sharp increase represents a huge political challenge for Mr Sunak and the Conservatives, who have repeatedly promised to reduce net migration since taking power in 2010. The party's 2019 manifesto committed to getting the number down, without setting a specific target, while former Conservative Prime Minister David Cameron once pledged to bring net migration below 100,000. Sunak says migration 'too high' as new record set Who is allowed to come to live in the UK? Moving target Tories keep trying to hit In a report launched on Monday, the New Conservatives say the British public "did not vote for mass migration and the social and economic harms it brings". "Without swift action to get migration under control, the Conservative Party will further erode the trust of hundreds of thousands of voters who lent the party their vote in 2019," the report says. The report was written by Tory MP Tom Hunt and backed by a group of like-minded Conservatives, including the party's deputy chairman, Lee Anderson, Miriam Cates and James Daly. At the report's launch, Mr Hunt, Ms Cates and Mr Daly insisted they were loyal to the prime minister, but felt his government could go further on cutting immigration. One of the report's main recommendations is closing temporary schemes that grant eligibility for worker visas to care workers. The report says this policy will reduce visas granted by 117,000, leading to a reduction in long-term inward migration to the UK of 82,000. Part of this proposed policy involves only allowing in skilled workers who earn £38,000 a year or more. A report by the Skills for Care charity said the number of vacancies in social care was at its highest rate on record, with 165,000 unfilled posts in 2021-22. Sam Monaghan, chief executive at Methodist Homes, said not being able to recruit carers from overseas would put more pressure on the sector. "Cutting off a key supply of care workers at a time when 500,000 people nationwide are waiting for care is not the answer," Mr Monaghan said. Mr Sunak's official spokesman said the government was not planning to remove care workers from the shortage occupation list. The government was "using the flexibility we have through our migration system to ensure we have sufficient staff in key areas" and "looking to boost the numbers of domestic care staff that are available", Downing Street said. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-66084962

Swapping the sort of food your dog eats could cut their climate impact dramatically, new research has shown. As the po[CENSORED]tion of domesticated cats and dogs grows across the world, scientists are suggesting that changing habits could lower the carbon footprints of pets. Currently, the USA is estimated to have 76.8 million dogs and 58.4 million cats, while Brazil has 52.2 million dogs and China has 53.1 million cats. In the UK there are almost 13 million households with dogs and just over 12 million with cats. In total, 52 per cent of UK adults own a pet, according to pet charity PDSA. While the toll taken on the environment by pets is tiny, compared to the scale of devastation wrought by non-domesticated farmed animals, all our pets still require food – mostly meat-based – but the full environmental impact of pets on the planet remains opaque. dogs and cats dry food can “significantly reduce” the environmental impact domesticated animals have on the planet. A Brazilian study has found that dry food is more environmentally friendly than a diet consisting of wet food with higher water content. Professor Marcio Brunetto at the University of Sao Paulo and his colleagues evaluated the environmental impacts – including greenhouse gas emissions, land use, and water usage – of 618 diets for dogs and 320 diets for cats in Brazil. The team investigated commercial wet food diets and dry food diets found on the websites of three major Brazilian pet food retailers. These were also compared to homemade diets – either food produced by companies, or food cooked by owners at home using recipes provided by companies. They also examined the nutritional and calorific makeup of the different diets. They said: "For all variables, wet diets for cats and dogs had the greatest environmental impact, particularly compared to dry diets." "Homemade diets tended to have intermediary environmental impacts, although water usage in homemade cat diets was similar to dry diets." The team estimated that a small dog (around 10kg) consuming on average 534 calories per day would be responsible for 828kg of CO2 per year when fed a dry diet compared to 6,541kg of CO2 per year for a wet diet – an almost eight-fold increase (789 per cent). The research also revealed that dry diets provided the highest amount of energy per gram, while wet diets and homemade diets provided higher amounts of protein. In wet diets, almost twice as much energy was provided by animal ingredients compared to dry diets (45 per cent versus 89 per cent), which the authors said “may contribute to their greater environmental impact”. The team said their results “highlight the extensive environmental impact of pet foods, the need to make them more sustainable and an indication of how this may be achieved”. So the results are in: wet pet food is up to eight times as burdensome for the planet as dry alternatives. https://www.independent.co.uk/climate-change/news/pets-environmental-impact-cats-dogs-food-b2227116.html

football at 41 years old this summer due to an injury. Paradoxes of life, the forward who had never had a muscle injury in his more than 20-year career, had to retire after breaking his cruciate on March 12 against Ponferradina. He was four games away from renewing, but fate wanted it that way. His life has changed but he is still linked to football as part of Paco López's coaching staff at Granada. "Now I work from 8 to 8." In this interview in MARCA he reviews his career and sends a message to the fans of Alcoyano, Gandía, Benidorm, Poli Ejido, Elche, Betis, Getafe and Granada who enjoyed his almost 800 games and more than 300 goals since he debuted in his Alcoy born at the age of 17 on May 7, 1999 . Q. And what is your relationship with your former teammates like? For example, is it easier with someone like Bryan who you already met as a player than with someone new like Boyé? A. It's a bit strange because you go from being with them as teammates in the locker room to having another role. From naturalness because I know the majority and they know me, because day to day they get along well. In the end, the new ones who have come also see the relationship I have with the others and perhaps it is a little closer than with other members of the coaching staff because of what I have lived with them. Tips? That goes a little more with the character of the player. For example, Torrente, who is a boy who is very receptive, who always wants to improve, learn, restless, who is always asking questions. You try to help young people especially from experience. https://www.marca.com/futbol/granada/2023/10/15/65290db722601dec118b45b1.html

Moroccan ambassador for electronic music and DJ producer Amine Akesbi, also known by his stage name Amine K, demonstrates the intrinsic link between music and migration. From Rabat to Ibiza, through the four corners of the world, Amine K has turned electronic music into his destiny. Amine K developed a love for music at a young age when his uncle gave him an old mixer. Before converting his passion into a profession, he studied finance in Australia and France. In 2001, while he was in a Beirut night club, he realized that music would define his life. The majority of Amine’s productions are dedicated to his Moroccan roots, but his musical inspirations range from classic, old-school, to progressive and tribal styles. Amine K told Morocco World News (MWN) that “as a musician, I have a voice to raise because people listen to me. I once supported the idea of Federation De La Gauche Democratique but I am not affiliated to any political party. I think that you can be involved in politics without being in a political party.” That being said, Amine K shows a multifaceted engagement, reflected through his songs and on a personal level. “Tiniri,” which means Sahara in Tamazight, was recorded in Marrakech. It combines Arabic vocals, traditional Moroccan instruments, melodic house, and techno. In an interview, Amine K specified that the choice of the title refers to the vibrations of the desert and that it is entirely detached from the political theme of the Sahara dispute. The musician adds that the idea of tackling the theme of Moroccan migration is the idea behind Gnaoua band Comptoir Darna, who he worked with on the release of the track. The lyrics, written entirely in Darija, highlight the disparity between the expectation of a better life in a foreign country and the reality faced by Moroccan migrants. The translated lyrics read: “This is my situation in people’s land. We did not find a job to work and with that we are wasted. Coal tar in my country is better than honey of foreign countries.” Amine K uses his music to communicate that the hardships that migrants encounter in their original countries are better than the mere opportunities presented in foreign host countries. The DJ told MWN: “There is a lot of social pressure in Morocco about the idea of going abroad…When people go abroad and do not find work, they are ashamed to go back to their country just to show to their family that they did not succeed.” Amine K uses Darija so that his message reaches a wider audience. In addition to the language of the lyrics, the choice of instruments is strategic. The Guembri, a plucked string instrument, and Krakeb, a large iron castanet-like instrument, is linked to the Gnaouas while the Darbouka, a percussion instrument, underlines the Arab identity and culture. Amine K emphasizes that “we created this piece not [just] for Moroccans but for everybody. Most people abroad are not familiar with Gnaoua’s music. The idea is to make it more accessible to everybody.” Considering the aspect of inclusivity, the lyrical content and the instruments aim to capture emotions that everyone, migrants and non-migrants alike, can identify with. The track provides a better understanding of the way migrants view their own migratory experience and their host society as well as how they are perceived by their hosts. "Tiniri" is particularly interesting as it not only mirrors the perceptions of Moroccan migrants, but also informs them in a way that does not necessarily appear in academic or creative literature. Such tracks emphasize some of the assets of music as a source of migration analysis over other formats. Music is a universal, democratic and wide-spreading language both in its production and consumption, while literature is more restricted, with a barrier to entry that might be too high for some people. The flow of Moroccan migration has become globalized resulting in new immigration destinations and profiles. Initially, Moroccan migration was mainly to European countries, migrants were predominantly male, temporary, and looking for work. During the past 30 years, migration has undergone profound changes, namely regarding the increase in women and younger migrants and a wider diversity of ethnic groups. Migration of Moroccans has shifted from the traditional immigration countries of western Europe to new destinations such as North America, the Middle East and even other places in Africa, breaking the stereotypes around a Eurocentric and exclusively male Moroccan migration. Unlike what is generally believed, Moroccans' intention to emigrate is moderate. According to a 2018-2019 survey from the High Commission for Planning (HCP), less than a quarter of non-migrants wish to emigrate, with an accentuated tendency among younger, more educated unmarried, and unemployed demographics to emigrate. https://www.moroccoworldnews.com/2022/11/352474/migration-and-music-dj-amine-k-pays-tribute-to-migrants-experience

Russia has carried out a new massive drone attack on Ukraine's capital Kyiv. Kyiv's mayor Vitaliy Klitschko said a man died when drone wreckage fell near a petrol station. A woman was injured. Overall, Russia launched a record 54 so-called kamikaze drones on Ukrainian targets, 52 of which were shot down, Ukraine's Air Force reported. Russia - which launched its full-scale invasion in February 2022 - has stepped up its attacks on Kyiv, seeking to overwhelm the capital's defences. At least two high-rise buildings in different districts of the capital caught fire after being hit by falling drone fragments. Kyiv officials also reported that warehouses in the southern Holosiyivsky district had been set ablaze. More than 40 drones were downed over the capital overnight, Ukrainian officials said. This information has not been independently verified. But President Volodymyr Zelensky praised the air defence and rescue services, saying: "You look up to destroy enemy missiles, aircraft, helicopters, and drones. Every time you shoot down enemy drones and missiles, lives are saved... you are heroes!" Kyiv resident Anastasiia said that she was asleep at home when she was woken up by the sound of a drone flying "very close" to her window. "I then saw a big flash of light inside the flat. At first it was yellow, then bright orange and then blinding white. It was so bright that I could not see anything in the flat," she told the BBC, adding that it all went "very quiet" during the flashes and that the sound of the explosions came "two or three seconds after the flash. It was very loud, like thunder." "Those two or three seconds felt like a very long time," she said. "The bright light was transformed into total darkness. I wanted to check if there was any damage. I could not understand what happened. I was in shock so I did not feel scared. I could not understand if I and my flat were OK." Anastasiia said she only realised she was still alive when she heard the sound of car alarms in the street. "When people read the news about drones being intercepted, this is what it means in reality. Then I went back to sleep until my friend brought me breakfast and I realised that we have to appreciate every moment of life." Some officials accused Russia of targeting Kyiv deliberately as residents prepared to celebrate Kyiv Day - the anniversary of the city's foundation more than 1,500 years ago and a po[CENSORED]r holiday before the war. Earlier on Sunday, air raid alerts were activated in 12 regions of Ukraine, from Volyn in the north-west to Dnipropetrovsk in the south-east. There were also reports of explosions in the city of Zhytomyr, west of Kyiv. In its recent attacks, Russia has been using so-called kamikaze drones as well as a range of cruise and ballistic missiles. The frequency of the Russian attacks on Kyiv and elsewhere has been increasing as Ukraine steps up its preparations for a counter-offensive. On Saturday, one of Ukraine's most senior security officials told the BBC the country was ready to launch such an operation. Oleksiy Danilov, secretary of the powerful National Security and Defence Council of Ukraine, said an assault to retake territory from President Vladimir Putin's occupying forces could begin "tomorrow, the day after tomorrow or in a week". 'We’re ready to begin counter-offensive' - Ukraine Ukraine has been planning a counter-offensive for months. But it has wanted as much time as possible to train troops and to receive military equipment from Western allies. In the meantime, Russian forces have been preparing their defences in the seized regions of south-eastern Ukraine. Drone attacks by both sides have been rising. Russia has been targeting not just Ukraine's critical national infrastructure but also military targets. In particular, Russia seems to be trying not only to deplete Ukraine's stock of air defence missiles but also to damage the launch systems themselves. In turn, Ukraine has been targeting key locations in parts of the country occupied by Russian forces. Those include command and control sites, logistical supply lines including oil storage centres. Ahead of Ukraine's much expected counter-offensive, the tempo of military exchanges between both sides appears to be rising. In recent weeks, Russia has blamed Kyiv for heavy artillery and mortar shelling on the region of Belgorod. On Sunday, Belgorod's governor ordered all schools along the border with Ukraine and in Belgorod city to close for the summer with immediate effect. Speaking to the BBC, Andrei Kelin, Russia's ambassador to the UK, said his country had "enormous resources" and it was yet to "act very seriously". Warning that supplies of weapons to Ukraine risk escalating the war to levels not seen so far, he added: "Sooner or later, of course, this escalation may get a new dimension which we do not need and we do not want." https://www.bbc.com/news/world-65736730

The Line mobile messaging service has decided to roll out a Web3 platform in Japan. Named ‘Game Dosi', this blockchain gaming platform will allow Web3 game firms to launch non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and provide an easy-to-use development kit tool. The aim of Game Dosi is to accelerate the Web3 gaming culture among players, as well as developers. Japan has been investing heavily in Web3 to establish itself as a pioneer in adopting this technology. As part of its service offerings, Game Dosi will provide legal support and risk management solutions via Line's support team. Consultations to optimise game-centric token economics will also be provided via the platform, Line said in a blog post. “With the slogan ‘Gamer First, Web3 Next,' Game Dosi is a Web3, blockchain-based gaming platform that aims to provide fun and engaging games that users can enjoy without worrying about understanding the details of decentralised or crypto technology,” the post noted. “In addition, Game Dosi provides solutions to enable game developers to conveniently create their own blockchain-based Web3 games and build communities.” A teaser site for Game Dosi has been launched that invites users to “Experience the Revolution” in the backdrop of colourful, moving graphics. A recent Chainalysis report highlighted that in the second quarter of 2022, 58 percent of web traffic from Asian nations to crypto services was NFT-related. Another 21 percent traffic was related to play-to-earn blockchain games. As per Statista, Japan's revenue contribution to the global video gaming segment is projected to reach $52.43 billion (roughly Rs. 4,25,700 crore) by 2027. Hence Japan's interest in the Web3 gaming industry does not come across as a surprise, given that its prime minister, Fumio Kashida, has been on a hunt to find ‘new capitalism' solutions to boost the country's economy and Web3 tools have emerged as national favourites. Last week, NTT Docomo that is touted as Japan's largest telecom company teamed-up with IT major Accenture to fund the country's Web3 exploration with $4 billion (roughly Rs. 39,100 crore). “Web3 has the potential to form a new digital economy with a greater social impact than conventional economies, providing clearly defined benefits and secure environments for success,” a press statement from both the companies had claimed at the time. https://www.gadgets360.com/cryptocurrency/news/line-messaging-launches-game-dosi-web3-platform-japan-3518475

After the decision to delay, Dead Island 2 returns with a new gameplay review focusing on one of the main characters. Where we will get to know the professional killer Jacob, who specializes in eliminating cannibals. Dead Island 2 will introduce us to some innovative ways to play the characters and their abilities. For example, Jacob has a sense of humor and sarcastic comments, but he has the ability to perform quick attacks thanks to Feral's skill. He also deals more damage to enemies when his stamina runs out, which he partially recovers whenever he deals fatal blows to his opponents. The trailer you are watching above is very short, so we expect more trailers for other characters to be released. We recently learned that the game will introduce a technology that is the first of its kind in the world of video games, which is support for the Alexa Game Control service for voice interaction with the player, so that the player gives orders, requests weapons, guidance for tasks, etc., for more details on this technology from here. One of the major changes made by the team at Dambuster Studios is an overhaul of the game's blood system. In an interview with Game Informer, Creative Director James Worrall and Art Director Adam Olson talked about F.L.E.S.H. What's new in the game is "Fully Locational Evisceration Simulator for Humanoids". We recall that the launch date of the new game is on April 28 of next year 2023 for the current and previous PC and home platforms. https://www.vga4a.com/archives/168423

It seems that a bug in the Windows update system is causing users with computers that do not support the new Microsoft operating system to see how they are offered an update to Windows 11. However, this seems to be a bug, and even if we accept the update, it will not be installed due to the checks that exist. This does not seem to be intentional, since Microsoft has not modified the Windows 11 system requirements despite the great amount of criticism it received, especially in view of the TPM 2.0 requirement, which very few computers have, and those that do have it are almost by chance, by being part of the platform on which they are. As we read in Windows Central, one of the users affected by this bug has a school computer that can barely run Windows 10, and it is true that with 2GB of DDR3 RAM and an old 1.12GHz processor, it is difficult to imagine that any heavy operating system can work properly. Be that as it may, hopefully Microsoft will fix this problem soon, as it may have been reusing the same tool that caused millions of users to see their computers being forced to upgrade to Windows 10, no matter what happened next. https://www.geeknetic.es/Noticia/27825/Windows-11-se-esta-ofreciendo-en-equipos-que-no-lo-soportan.html

Ever wanted to build a mini-ITX computer with a power-sipping 11th Gen Tiger Lake mobile processor? Now's your chance to do just that. MSI has released a new PRO series mini-ITX motherboard featuring a built-in Core i5-11260H Tiger Lake CPU called the Pro HM570TI-B I526.(opens in new tab) As the name suggests, the board is designed for professionals who want a compact desktop workstation that will be just as power efficient as a laptop. The Core i5 processor inside features six cores and 12 threads with a 4.4 GHz max turbo frequency and a maximum configurable TDP of 45 watts. The board has a decent feature set overall, with support for up to 64GB of dual-channel DDR4 3200MHz memory and two SATA ports for storage devices. Unfortunately there is only one M.2 slot available for wireless cards only. Rear I/O comes in the form of four USB ports, a single serial port, and a HDMI port for display output. There is also an Ethernet port and two dedicated 3.5mm jacks for mic support and audio. But, the strange part of this motherboard is zero information on CPU cooler mounting support. MSI has no information on installing a CPU cooler or what CPU coolers will work with the mobile chip. As a result, you'll need to do this research yourself if you plan on buying this board. But we presume the board is designed for LGA115x or LGA1200/1700 coolers since the spacing between the holes is quite large. Fortunately, or unfortunately, power comes in the form of a DC power brick. Standard ATX or SFX power supplies will not work with this motherboard if you want to build this system inside a standard mini-ITX desktop chassis. As a result, you'll have to look for a case that is designed around DC power bricks to ensure space isn't wasted and the system looks good. MSI's board also lacks support for dedicated PCIe add in board cards, such as graphics cards, with no physical PCIe slots installed on the motherboard. It is somewhat of a bummer, as Intel's Tiger Lake processors aren't slow chips, and already make good gaming chips in mid-range gaming laptops with dedicated mobile GPUs or Thunderbolt graphics card docks. If the board had support for a dedicated GPU, it would be a really cool little gaming machine, that would sip power and generate almost no heat. But, this board wasn't intended for gaming, so we understand why MSI didn't install a PCIe slot. But, if you are courageous enough, you can technically use a dedicated graphics card. All you will need is a M.2 PCIe x4 to PCIe x16 or open x8 or x4 slot that allows x16 cards to be slotted in. Pair this, with a mini-ITX case with vertical GPU mounting support, and you can get a full blown discrete graphics card to work with this motherboard. However, the apparent drawbacks would be no dedicated WiFi/Bluetooth card -- with the slot taken up by the GPU and four PCIe lanes is not fast enough for a lot of desktop GPUs. As a result, you'd need to use a low-end GPU to ensure the PCIe lane bottlenecking doesn't kill most of your GPU performance. We don't know when this motherboard is on sale; MSI hasn't shared a price or estimated availability dates on its website. https://www.tomshardware.com/news/tiger-lake-mini-itx-motherboard-msi

Apple launched the iPhone 14 series a couple of months back and rumours about the next generation iPhone models (iPhone 15 phones which are expected to release after 10 months) are already making rounds on the internet. This year’s Pro and non-Pro variants of the iPhone 14 lineup also had several differences between them. The upcoming iPhone 15 series is now expected to offer more exclusive features with the Pro devices which won’t be available for the base variants. Earlier, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo mentioned that the strong demand for the iPhone 14 Pro may likely encourage Apple to increase the differences between the devices that will be released in the upcoming iPhone 15 series. The iPhone 15 lineup is expected to include the iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max smartphones. However, it is important to note that several hardware changes were likely planned at least a few years ago. Here are some key features that might be exclusive to iPhone 15 Pro models. Five key features that are expected to remain exclusive to iPhone 15 Pro According to a report by MacRumors, the upcoming Apple iPhone 15 Pro smartphone will have five features that will remain exclusive to the Pro variants. Apart from this, Apple might release next year’s iPhone 15 Pro Max with a new name -- the iPhone 15 Ultra. Moreover, Apple will be able to increase the iPhone's average selling price by pushing more customers towards the Pro variants. Here is a list of the expected features: iPhone 15 Pro: A17 Bionic chip The Pro models in the iPhone 15 lineup are expected to come powered by the upcoming A17 Bionic chip which will be based on TSMC’s second-generation 3nm process. This new chipset is likely to improve performance and efficiency compared to this year’s iPhone 14 Pro processor. The report also mentions that 2023 could be the second consecutive year for Apple to include its latest chipset only in the Pro models of the iPhone lineup. iPhone 15 Pro: USB-C port As per the report, the iPhone 15 Pro models are expected to sport a faster USB Type-C port and may either feature USB 3.2 or Thunderbolt 3. This addition will significantly increase the devices’ data transfer speeds which is more than what the Lightning cable for current iPhones support. However, the USB-C port on vanilla iPhone 15 devices are may remain limited to the speeds offered by USB 2.0 and the Lightning cable. iPhone 15 Pro: Increased RAM support The report also suggests that the upcoming iPhone 15 Pro models might come equipped with an increased 8GB of RAM. Meanwhile, the base variant is expected to continue to pack 6GB of RAM like the latest devices. The increased RAM support will help apps like Safari to keep more content active in the background. This will also prevent the app from reloading content whenever it is reopened later. iPhone 15 Pro: Solid-state buttons Next year’s iPhone 15 Pro models are likely to feature solid-state volume and power buttons, the report adds. The upcoming Pro variants are expected to ship with two extra Taptic Engines that will offer haptic feedback. This feedback will simulate the feeling of pressing the buttons without them physically moving. These buttons will be similar to the Home button that is available on the latest iPhone SE or the trackpad included in the latest MacBooks. iPhone 15 Pro Max: Increased optical zoom The 2023 iPhone 15 Pro Max is speculated to feature a periscope telephoto lens. This addition is likely to offer at least 10x optical zoom on the upcoming devices compared to the 3x zoom available on the latest iPhone 14 Pro models https://www.gadgetsnow.com/mobiles/iphone-15-pro-may-include-these-five-exclusive-features-what-to-expect/articleshow/95661337.cms

Former Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad has lost his parliamentary seat in Saturday’s general elections, likely ending the career of one of Asia’s most enduring politicians. Mahathir came in fourth in a five-way fight in his long-held constituency in the holiday resort island of Langkawi, the country’s election commission said on Saturday. “It’s a major surprise that not only has he [Mahathir] lost, but he has lost in a spectacular fashion,” Al Jazeera’s Florence Looi, reporting from outside of Kuala Lumpur, said. “He has not only lost his seat but has lost his deposit because he has not been able to get more than an eighth of votes cast. His party has also not managed to win a single seat.” It was the 97-year-old’s first electoral defeat in more than half a century. He served as Malaysia’s prime minister for 22 years from 1981 to 2003. He returned to politics two years ago in the wake of the multibillion-dollar scandal at state fund 1MDB. Mahathir held the Guinness World Record for being the “world’s oldest current prime minister” when he became prime minister in 2018, just two months shy of his 93rd birthday. ‘Crooks or jailbirds’ Visibly slowed by age but still looking healthy, Mahathir ran this time around under his own Homeland Fighters’ Party and had laughed off suggestions he should retire, telling reporters before the election that he had a “good chance” of winning. “I’m still standing around and talking to you, I think, making reasonable answers,” Mahathir said. He added his party would not form any alliances with parties that are led by “crooks or jailbirds” – an apparent reference to the United Malays National Organisation (UMNO), the party of jailed former Prime Minister Najib Razak. Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob’s ruling Barisan Nasional coalition – which is dominated by his UMNO party – lost ground to rival alliances led by former Malaysian Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin and opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim. The corruption-tainted Barisan Nasional coalition, which ruled Malaysia since its independence from Britain until 2018, could still return to power depending on post-election alliances.

[Malaysian Department of Information/Hafiz Itam/Handout via Reuters] ‘Crooks or jailbirds’ Visibly slowed by age but still looking healthy, Mahathir ran this time around under his own Homeland Fighters’ Party and had laughed off suggestions he should retire, telling reporters before the election that he had a “good chance” of winning. “I’m still standing around and talking to you, I think, making reasonable answers,” Mahathir said. He added his party would not form any alliances with parties that are led by “crooks or jailbirds” – an apparent reference to the United Malays National Organisation (UMNO), the party of jailed former Prime Minister Najib Razak. Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob’s ruling Barisan Nasional coalition – which is dominated by his UMNO party – lost ground to rival alliances led by former Malaysian Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin and opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim. The corruption-tainted Barisan Nasional coalition, which ruled Malaysia since its independence from Britain until 2018, could still return to power depending on post-election alliances. Mahathir has been criticised for ruling the Southeast Asian nation with an iron fist from 1981 to 2003, but he is also hailed for helping transform the country from a sleepy backwater into one of the world’s top exporters of high-tech goods. His long leadership provided political stability, and he gained the title of “Father of Modern Malaysia” as he oversaw the construction of highways and industrial parks in the 1980s and 1990s. The reformist Pakatan Harapan alliance led by Mahathir won a stunning victory over UMNO and Najib, who was later convicted of corruption and is currently serving a 12-year jail sentence. Mahathir became prime minister again, but his government collapsed in less than two years due to infighting. Mahathir Mohamad: Ex-Malaysia PM loses seat in shock defeat The 97-year-old elder statesman of Malaysian politics lost his parliamentary seat – the first electoral defeat in 53 years.

Mahathir held the Guinness World Record for being the "world's oldest current prime minister" when he became prime minister in 2018, just two months shy of his 93rd birthday. [fIle: Hasnoor Hussain/Reuters] Published On 19 Nov 2022 Former Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad has lost his parliamentary seat in Saturday’s general elections, likely ending the career of one of Asia’s most enduring politicians. Mahathir came in fourth in a five-way fight in his long-held constituency in the holiday resort island of Langkawi, the country’s election commission said on Saturday. “It’s a major surprise that not only has he [Mahathir] lost, but he has lost in a spectacular fashion,” Al Jazeera’s Florence Looi, reporting from outside of Kuala Lumpur, said. Malaysia’s Mahathir Mohamad discharged from hospital end of list “He has not only lost his seat but has lost his deposit because he has not been able to get more than an eighth of votes cast. His party has also not managed to win a single seat.” It was the 97-year-old’s first electoral defeat in more than half a century. He served as Malaysia’s prime minister for 22 years from 1981 to 2003. He returned to politics two years ago in the wake of the multibillion-dollar scandal at state fund 1MDB.

He also offered to become prime minister a third time, but observers said he had no chance from the beginning. His titanic clashes with opposition leader Anwar, his erstwhile heir-in-apparent with whom he had a bitter falling out, have dominated and shaped Malaysian politics over the past two decades. In the end, age was his biggest opponent. “Mahathir’s time has passed,” Bridget Welsh of the University of Nottingham Malaysia told AFP earlier this month ahead of the election. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2022/11/19/mahathir-mohamad-ex-malaysia-pm-loses-seat-in-first-poll-defeat

Paleontologists have unearthed an extinct, never-before-seen species of giant sea turtle in Spain. The titanic turtle likely had a body length of around 12.3 feet (3.7 meters) — more than double the size of modern marine turtles — and is the largest turtle species ever uncovered in Europe. The new species, which researchers have named Leviathanochelys aenigmatica, was identified from a complete pelvis fossil and fragments of fossilized shell uncovered between 2016 and 2021 at the Cal Torrades locality in northeastern Spain, researchers said in a statement(opens in new tab). The enormous turtle likely cruised around Europe's ancient oceans between 83.6 and 72.1 million years ago, during the Cretaceous period (145 million to 66 million years ago). L. aenigmatica is just over twice the size of the largest living marine turtles, leatherback turtles (Dermochelys coriacea), which can reach up to 5.9 feet (1.8 m) long. However, the newly found gigantic turtle falls just short of the record set by the world's largest-ever turtle, the extinct Archelon ischyros, which had a maximum body length of 15 feet (4.6 m), according to the statement. Fossils of ancient giant turtles like A. ischyros are predominantly found in North and South America and, until now, no European marine turtles larger than leatherbacks, living or extinct, have ever been discovered. The pelvis of L. aenigmatica not only hints at the ancient turtle's immense size but also provides clues about its evolutionary past. The bone has an unusual protrusion, potentially linked to the respiratory system, that is so unlike anything seen in modern or extinct turtles that the newly described species has been put into a new genus, according to the statement. The discovery of L. aenigmatica, therefore, upends what researchers know about the evolution of gigantism in turtles because it suggests that there was more than one lineage of marine turtles that grew to such extreme sizes. It also hints that there may be other ancient giant turtle species waiting to be discovered. https://www.livescience.com/12-foot-ancient-turtle

, England midfielder Declan Rice says it has been a "tough" decision to leave West Ham but "it has only ever been about my ambition to play at the very highest level of the game". Rice issued an open letter to Hammers fans as he nears a move to Arsenal for £100m plus £5m in add-ons. West Ham also confirmed the 24-year-old was leaving the club. "The last few days and weeks have been an absolute whirlwind of emotion," said Rice. "You have taken me into your hearts as one of your own from day one. Even when it was just a handful of fans at the Under-18 or Under-23 games, I felt that love, and it has just grown stronger as the years have passed. "Playing in front of you has been an honour, we have had such great times together, and you all mean so much to me. "I want you to know how tough a decision it has been for me to leave an environment that I have loved and cherished so much. "Ultimately, though, it has only ever been about my ambition to play at the very highest level of the game." Rice scored 15 goals in 245 games for West Ham, who he joined as a 14-year-old after being released from Chelsea's academy. ADVERTISEMENT He signed his first professional contract with the Hammers in December 2015 and made his first senior appearance on the last day of the 2016-17 Premier League season against Burnley, going on to make his full debut that August against Southampton. He was named the club's captain following Mark Noble's retirement in 2022 and, in what proved to be his final campaign at London Stadium, was named the Europa Conference League's player of the season as West Ham ended a 43-year wait for a major trophy. "Playing on the opposite team to West Ham for the first time will be an unusual experience," added Rice. "I'm not sure yet exactly how I will feel, but I also know you will all understand and respect that my professional loyalties have to now lie with my new club. "I will always give 100% every single time I pull on the shirt - because that is how I have been brought up at West Ham, and I'm sure you wouldn't expect anything else." 'We did not want to sell Declan' Arsenal succeeded with their third bid for Rice, having had two offers rejected after falling short of the £100m West Ham wanted. Premier League champions Manchester City withdrew from trying to bring in the player after they had a £90m offer turned down. The Gunners are set to add Rice, having signed Germany midfielder Kai Havertz from Chelsea in a £65m deal and Netherlands defender Jurrien Timber from Ajax for a fee that could rise to £38.5m. "I would like to make it clear to our supporters that we did not want to sell Declan," said Hammers joint-chairman David Sullivan. "We wanted to build our team around him and made a series of improved, long-term contract offers to secure his future. "However, once Declan made it clear that he wished to move on and seek a new challenge, the club felt it would not be right to stand in his way, acting in the best interests of West Ham United. "He leaves with the sincere thanks, respect and love of everyone here, having earned his place in history alongside the great Bobby Moore and Billy Bonds as the only players to have captained West Ham United to a major trophy. "More than that, he has always given absolutely everything for the football club throughout his time with us. "Declan will forever hold a special place in the hearts of Hammers fans and everyone here at the club." West Ham, in attempting to replace Rice, could try to sign Mexico midfielder Edson Alvarez from Ajax. The Hammers are interested in the 25-year-old, who is set to play for his country in Sunday's Gold Cup final against Panama. Alvarez joined Ajax in 2019 and had been linked with a move to Borussia Dortmund, who backed off because of the Dutch club's demands https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/66209874

Americans decide to move to a new state usually in the summer months, which is the period that witnesses a rise in rental prices and home purchases, with the Christmas celebrations being their stage of stability, and therefore this period witnesses a gradual decline in prices. Last year, only about 8.4% of Americans moved to live in another state, which represents a historic decline, thanks to some of the measures taken by the US administration to improve living and facilitate access to housing, coinciding with the deteriorating economic consequences of the Corona pandemic crisis that lasted more than from two years. Turning to another point of interest to Arab immigrants, especially those who are now planning to travel to the United States after winning the random lottery (Lottery) for the year 2023, where the interviews of the winners are now being held in US embassies in all countries of the world; The immigrant determines the state that may become his place of residence for years to come, hence it was necessary to study the best states for living in America.

New Mexico: 42.51 points. Arkansas: 42.42 points. Louisiana: 41.74 points. Alaska: 40.93 points. Mississippi: 39.77 points. Why is Massachusetts the best? Massachusetts is located in the northeastern region of the United States, and is known for its diverse landscapes that include mountains, forests, and coastal areas, and is home to many large metropolitan areas. The state had a large number of residents with tertiary education qualifications in 2015, and was ranked as the state with the third largest number of university graduates. Massachusetts is home to many highly regarded universities as well, such as Harvard University, MIT, and Boston College, and its higher level of education has helped create a strong economy in the state, with it consistently ranking in the top ten in terms of GDP per capita. The state's highly educated workforce has also attracted many advanced technology and life sciences companies, helping to create jobs and drive economic growth. If you are looking for a state with a strong economy and plenty of opportunities, Massachusetts is definitely worth considering. The state is famous for its unpredictable weather, as it has four distinct seasons, the summers are very hot as well as the winters are very cold, and Massachusetts is prone to hurricanes. However, this state does not include many Arabs compared to other states such as California, New York and Michigan, as the Arab po[CENSORED]tion is estimated to be about 70 thousand people. New Jersey The safety index may summarize a lot of what can be talked about about the advantages of living in the state of New Jersey, as it is ranked as the best US state in terms of the safety factor, and it also includes some advantages for living in it, such as the high average annual family income, the low percentage of the po[CENSORED]tion living in poverty, Their percentage is estimated at less than 10%. The state also ranks highly in terms of food security and the quality of its public school system, with a high school graduation rate in New Jersey of over 90%. The quality of health care in New Jersey is evidenced by the low rate of premature death and the relatively small proportion of adults who are obese. The state is bike-friendly and its residents can enjoy plenty of cycling or walking trails, as well as a good public transportation system. The number of Arabs in the state is estimated at 108 thousand people, which makes it a favorite for many Arab immigrants, at least in their first years of immigration. https://www.aljazeera.net/lifestyle/2022/11/21/أفضل-5-ولايات-أميركية
