Mr.Hacker

There are the photos. A white lion lying quietly in the sun, an African tiger sleeping in the shade of his cage, and a white fox prowling the grounds. The search carried out by the authorities in a piece of land in the State of Mexico has revealed 47 live animals, seven stuffed exotic animals and several clandestine taps for the huachicoleo, the illegal extraction of fuel for sale. The police have arrested eight people and the property has been secured until they determine what they are going to do with the animals. Upon entering the property, the agents found 25 exotic animals. In addition to the lion and the tiger, there were two pumas, a Bengal tiger, a deer, a gray fox, a coyote, an owl, and several eagles, "among others," adds the Prosecutor's Office in its report. Inside the house there were 7 stuffed animals. One of the photos shows a deer in an awkward position, with its hind legs in the air, as if it is in full flight from the stuffed fox behind it. The first clues suggest that, to finance this kind of private zoo, the detainees were selling stolen fuel. The property had everything necessary to carry out this activity: a container with 14,000 liters of diesel, buses, machinery, pipes, motorcycles, and an installation connected to the subsoil that could possibly lead to a clandestine intake of hydrocarbons. A possible clandestine tap for water extraction was also found, reports the Prosecutor's Office. The regulation on exotic animals in Mexico varies depending on the animal in question. The Secretary of Environment and Natural Resources (Semarnat) considers that tigers cannot be taken for a walk or be considered pets, because they are predators and are regulated by the General Law of Wildlife. Even so, Mexican laws allow you to have an exotic animal as long as they are not considered endangered, such as the scarlet macaw or howler monkey. In addition, the papers must be in order and the animal must receive dignified and respectful treatment. The authorities have not reported on the status of the animals found on the property. The images that the Prosecutor's Office has released show the lions and tigers, apparently, in good condition. Although they have not left the enclosure in which they have been confined for a long time. The laws allow having these animals but not walking them, because they are considered too dangerous for the general po[CENSORED]tion. Although getting them is becoming easier thanks to social networks. In addition to the most remote areas of some street markets where prohibited animals have always been found, Facebook has a large market for exotic species. Just a few clicks away on the computer, you can find Facebook groups with the name “Sale of wild animals”, “Animales exóticos CDMX [Mexico City]”, as this newspaper found in a recent report. There you can get everything from jaguars, an endangered species, to hawks, Russian tortoises and chameleons. If the user wishes, in a matter of days he can have one of the strangest owls at the door of his house. And all without signing a single piece of paper. https://elpais.com/mexico/2023-04-06/dos-pumas-un-tigre-de-bengala-y-un-leon-blanco-la-policia-encuentra-47-animales-en-un-predio-del-estado-de-mexico.html

Without a doubt, electric cars will be an important part of the future of the automotive industry. But the door must not be closed to other technologies and advances... especially if they can make it easier for already built cars to continue to circulate. That is what Stellantis intends, which is finalizing the tests of synthetic fuels (e-fuels) in 28 types of combustion engines to try to reduce carbon emissions in 28 million cars that use these propellants that the group has manufactured since 2014 in Europe and will do so until 2029. The engines belong to brands such as Citroën, Peugeot, Fiat, Opel, Jeep and DS since 2014, so they comply with the Euro 6 standard. This would make it easier for existing vehicles to be able to move without generating new emissions (they would do so while driving) but avoiding the manufacture of new vehicles in which it is contaminated. The bet is interesting, of course, but the automotive group does not give up selling only electric cars in Europe from 2029. For the user, it would mean being able to extend the life of their vehicle, affordably, without having to update the fuel system of the engine or wait until the charging infrastructure is more developed The head honcho of the group indicated that “by working to ensure that our Stellantis engines are suitable for running on e-fuel, we are trying to offer another tool in the fight against global warming, one that can have an almost immediate impact. It is well aligned with our commitment to be carbon neutral by 2038.” The 28 families of engines include gasoline and diesel blocks. The validation protocol includes tests on tailpipe emissions, starting ability, engine power, reliability strength, oil dilution, fuel tank, lines or fuel filter. HERE

The draw has also affected Villarreal's chances of qualifying for the Champions League Samuel Lino celebrates equalising for Valencia. AFP Valencia has secured a 1-1 draw against Villarreal in their La Liga match on Wednesday. Although this result may have saved Valencia from another defeat, they remain in the 17th spot and are just one point ahead of the relegation zone. Samuel Lino scored a crucial goal to cancel out Nicolas Jackson's opener, which allowed the hosts to avoid a fourth loss in six games. Meanwhile, Espanyol and Getafe are still struggling at the bottom of the table. Both teams are three points behind Valencia, but have played one game less. This means that Valencia is still at risk of being relegated if they don't improve their performance in their upcoming matches. The draw has also affected Villarreal's chances of qualifying for the Champions League. They are currently in fifth place and are seven points behind Real Sociedad in fourth place. Real Sociedad beat champions Real Madrid in a thrilling match on Tuesday, which means Villarreal missed out on a chance to close the gap on the top four teams. Espanyol will visit Sevilla on Thursday, while Getafe will face Celta Vigo later on Wednesday. Both teams will be hoping to secure crucial wins that can keep them in the race for survival. In other matches, Atletico Madrid will host Cadiz, who are currently in the 15th spot. Atletico Madrid needs a win to move above their rivals, Real Madrid, and take the second spot. With just a few games left in the season, every point counts, and Atletico Madrid will be hoping to take full advantage of this opportunity. https://www.thenews.com.pk/latest/1066734-villarreals-champions-league-hopes-suffer-after-draw-with-valencia

More than a year into this terrible war, formally triggered by Russia invading Ukraine and sustained with active support from the Western consortium, the now distant attempts at negotiations aborted in Turkey would suggest that reopening a peace process is unfeasible in the short term. Especially considering neither side is willing to budge on its initial positions. China and Brazil’s ceasefire initiatives have therefore become a near-moral obligation. On 10 February, Lula da Silva was received at the White House by President Joe Biden with the pomp that an important regional leader deserves. At the dawn of the multipolar world, which primarily affects the United States, the president of the world’s largest military power and his visitor agreed to join forces in the fight against the climate crisis and the global far right, and for the development of human rights. Nevertheless, the friendly meeting was marred by obvious differences of opinion when it came to the thorniest issue: the war in Ukraine. Lula da Silva’s speech moved from initial criticism of Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s government’s unwillingness to seek a peaceful solution to the conflict, to condemning Russia’s invasion of Ukrainian territory. Officially, Brazil remains neutral in the conflict and advocates forming a working group with countries wanting a ceasefire in the region. The Brazilian president had already announced that during his trip to China on 28 March, he would discuss the 12-point ceasefire plan put forward by Chinese diplomacy with Xi Jinping. Perhaps this not total alignment with US positions is behind the Brazilian delegation’s disappointment in Washington. Another reason is the promise of a mere $50 million contribution to the international fund to protect and preserve the Amazon. Brazilian diplomats had expected the US government to commit to a much larger sum towards the environmental cause, championed with great fanfare in international forums by figures such as the Democratic administration’s Special Representative for Climate Change, John Kerry, and former Vice-President Al Gore. US disdain for Brazil’s flagship proposal is even more evident considering the fund has received financial backing from countries such as Norway ($482 million) and Germany ($200 million). The Biden administration sent a clear message to the Brazilian government with its meagre contribution: it either aligns itself first with US geopolitical interests or there will be no agreement on other important issues, even if, such as the climate emergency, they are of vital interest to humanity. A week before visiting Biden, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz had already been in Brazil lobbying the Brazilian president to send ammunition for his Leopard 2 tanks in Ukraine. The request was firmly rejected. The demand to send ammunition from the battered Brazilian army to Ukraine would appear to be a Western trap to directly involve the South American country in the war effort. No one in their right mind believes that a few crates of ammunition from Brazil’s obsolete army would change the course of the conflict in the slightest. Lula da Silva emerged more or less unscathed from the German chancellor’s visit, but at the joint press conference after the meeting he had to deal with a visibly irritated German journalist who questioned him about Brazil’s refusal. The president patiently explained to the German reporter that, since 1870 (the end of the shameful war that pitted Brazil, Uruguay and Argentina against Paraguay for the interests of the British crown), his country has had no direct military confrontations with another foreign nation. He also made it clear that Brazil was not going to take part, directly or indirectly, in the conflict, and that the only battle he is currently interested in is the fight against hunger. Despite the Brazilian government’s pedagogical efforts, the storm did not subside. The week after his return from the United States, Lula da Silva learned with disappointment that the Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs, Victoria Nuland — a veteran American diplomat responsible for organising the 2014 Euromaidan coup against former Ukrainian president Viktor Yanukovych — had said that the South American country should “put itself in Ukraine’s shoes”. Soon after, Japan’s ambassador in Brasilia, Hayashi Teiji, when speaking to the Brazilian press, made no attempt to conceal his conversations with political circles close to President Lula to gain his support for the Ukrainian cause. Meanwhile, in a brief meeting with his Brazilian counterpart, Mauro Viera, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba invited the Brazilian president to see the terrible consequences of the Russian bombings on the ground. Zelenskyy himself also called the Brazilian president to invite him to Ukraine. Ukraine’s diplomatic efforts were aimed at raising the Brazilian president’s awareness with a tour of the sites bombed by the Russian air force. All this heavy diplomatic artillery that Western countries are deploying in Brasilia and in international fora is trying to pressure the Brazilian government to take Ukraine’s side by all means possible. It is undeniable that in such a pluralistic cabinet there are members of government, like Brazil’s foreign minister (the Itamaraty), Mauro Viera, who advocate a more pragmatic stance that would bring Brazil closer to the United States’ position. It is likely that the country’s various negotiations with its Western partners, such as the trade agreement between Mercosur and the European Union, which the new government is so eagerly awaiting, will not be concluded without a clear concession from the Brazilian government on the Ukrainian issue. At the Munich Security Conference on 18 February, German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock, flanked at the table by her American counterpart Antony Blinken and Dmitro Kuleba in a clear warning to the countries of the Global South, such as Brazil, South Africa, Indonesia, Argentina, Pakistan and many others, warned that neutrality in this war is not an option; in other words, you are either with us or against us. This is very presumptuous on her part given that more than 80% of the world’s po[CENSORED]tion currently lives in the orbit of countries that remain neutral in this conflict. It is true that the pressures exerted on the new Brazilian government have significantly modified its initial radical position and have even provoked a slight change in the international position of Brazilian diplomacy. An example was the Brazilian ambassador’s inexplicable favourable vote in the non-binding resolution of the United Nations General Assembly on 23 February condemning and proposing the withdrawal of Russian troops from Ukrainian territory. It is however unclear whether Itamaraty staged a surrender to US pressure at the UN after the visit to Biden, or whether the vote on 23 February was part of a complicated pendulum policy of Brazilian diplomacy that seeks to strike a balance between US/EU and Chinese/Russian interests. Some critics fear that Brazil’s dissonant vote at the UN and the US are leading Brazil to sabotage the BRICS’s diplomatic position on the Ukrainian issue. The fact is that, as of today, Brazil’s greatest triumph in matters of international military conflict remains: its traditional neutrality, which gives it room for manoeuvre to promote its initiative to create a group of nations that advocate a ceasefire between the opposing sides. While EU countries compete to send the most military equipment to Ukraine, Brazil has steadfastly refused to do so despite a direct request from a NATO member state and heavy pressure from the countries sponsoring the armed conflict. Meanwhile, Western leaders continue their particular pilgrimage to Kyiv. Immediately after President Biden’s surprise trip to Kyiv on 20 February to back Zelenskyy and pledge more than 470 million euros in aid, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez rushed to Kyiv on 23 February to do the same. No doubt, he was trying to be first in line and make himself look good to NATO and the United States with his offer of ten Leopard tanks, four more than those agreed upon a few days earlier with the Ukrainian authorities. Sánchez did not utter a single word on how to stop the escalation of the conflict; on the contrary, the focus of the debate among European leaders is unanimously on how to defeat Russia – with or without humiliation – as President Emmanuel Macron, who advocates the second option, insists. In the face of Europe’s war frenzy and it becoming increasingly involved in the war materially and diplomatically, the tendency of Latin American governments is to be cautious. Convincing Brazil to enter the battlefield would therefore be an important advantage for the European Union and the United States, as it would make it easier to convince other fractious countries in the region. However, despite attempts by NATO and its European servants to prevent the formation of a negotiating table, President Lula da Silva’s diplomatic efforts for peace have reached the ears of the Russian authorities. So much so that, in statements to Russia’s TASS news agency, Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Galuzin said that they take the Brazilian government’s peace proposal seriously. The Chinese government, through its peace plan made public on 24 February, also continues to urge a political solution to the conflict, despite the rejection of NATO President Jens Stoltenberg and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, who hastened to declare incongruously that, by not condemning Russia, China has been discredited as a country to lead the peace process. Another major reason that makes Brazil a serious opponent of war is its position in BRICS, as none of these countries have sided with the US/NATO-EU alliance in directly confronting Russia. Preserving good relations with China, Russia, South Africa and India is a priority for Brazilian diplomacy. So much so that Lula da Silva has managed to confirm the appointment of former president Dilma Rousseff to head the Shanghai-based BRICS bank. Rousseff, who is not inclined to accept honorary positions, represents the Brazilian government’s desire to have a high political profile in an important financial institution located in the heart of Asia. If Brazil wants someone like the former president, who does not deny her good relations with China, to head the bank, it is because it is making a fundamental bet on trade and diplomatic relations with the BRICS and is playing its trump card in the construction of a multipolar world. More than a year into this terrible war, formally triggered by Russia invading Ukraine and sustained with active support from the Western consortium, the now distant attempts at negotiations aborted in Turkey would suggest that reopening a peace process is unfeasible in the short term. Especially considering neither side is willing to budge on its initial positions. China’s and Brazil’s ceasefire initiatives have therefore become a near-moral obligation. In spite of the EU High Representative for Foreign Policy stating that this war must be won against Russia on the battlefield, there is near general consensus in the rest of the world that it is not likely to be resolved on the battlefield in the short to medium term, so the inevitable outcome would be the negotiating table. Moreover, given the evident escalation and frivolity towards the dangerous game of nuclear weapons deterrence, which terrifies the world and is once again in the discourse of heads of state such as Russia and France, there is no time to lose. It would seem opportune to give Xi Jinping and Lula da Silva’s plans some leeway as they are leading the search for a negotiated solution to the conflict. https://therealnews.com/brazil-refuses-to-participate-in-the-ukraine-war

Happy birthday @Qween

Algeria is easily one of North Africa’s friendliest and fascinating countries. From the vast and wild Sahara and gorgeous coastline; to the incredible array of cultural and historical sites; to the bustling cities filled to the brim with culture, there’s certainly a lot to love.

While the rumors of an ultra-high-end virtual reality helmet, it is said that it will cost around 3,000 euros, by Apple, does not stop appearing in the rumor mill, the reality is that in the world the PC there has been sabotage to VR, and the culprits in this have been NVIDIA and AMD who have done everything possible so that their GPUs do not have the necessary optimizations for virtual reality. Because for immersion the latency must be as low as possible, and by this we refer to the entire process, from the moment the player performs an action until the consequence of it is seen in our eyes. Not only the time it takes for the CPU and the GPU to generate a frame, but also the time before to interpret said actions and the time after to send it to the screen. This is called photon motion latency, if it is above 20 milliseconds it can cause dizziness and nausea. The ideal? 5 milliseconds for augmented reality applications and 10 milliseconds for virtual reality. The other problem is that since the screen is so close to our eyes, the density in pixels and, therefore, the resolution must be very high, if we do not want to see the grainy image or the spaces between them. This further increases the technical requirements in terms of power. Now, many of you will think that the solution can come from NVIDIA and AMD's resolution scaling techniques that allow more frames to be generated. Well, the problem comes from the fact that they add a fixed latency to carry out their work, which can be counterproductive. We must bear in mind that one thing is the speed at which the frames are generated and another is the latency of movement to photon. And this is something that many of you are going to experience when you are using FSR3 or DLSS3 and the frame interpolation that both have. Take a game at 60 FPS interpolated at 120 FPS and then another native one at 120 FPS and believe us that you will notice how in the first case the response time will seem much higher. This breaks the immersion in virtual reality and its inclusion and promotion can be seen in a certain way as a sabotage of VR. Hardware

It was a big deal when Sony followed Microsoft's stance on first-party console exclusives and started porting its widely acclaimed PlayStation masterpieces to PC. Everything began in 2020 when Guerrilla Games announced it would release its highly successful new IP, Horizon Zero Dawn, on Steam. That happened over three years after the PlayStation 4 debut, but the game still sold very well on the platform, despite having some performance issues at launch. 2021 delivered Bend Studio's underrated Days Gone, but it also brought acclaimed PC porting studio Nixxes into the PlayStation fold following Sony's acquisition of the Dutch company. In 2022, the PlayStation PC port machine ramped up massively when Sony released Santa Monica's God of War, Insomniac's Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered and Miles Morales, Naughty Dog's Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection, and Sumo Digital's Sackboy: A Big Adventure. RELATED STORYFrancesco De Meo A New PlayStation Handheld Focused On Remote Play Is In The Works – Rumor Meanwhile, PlayStation CEO Jim Ryan was more than happy to report exponential growth thanks to the new PC strategy. At the same time, Head of PlayStation Studios Hermen Hulst said that single player PlayStation exclusives would still be released a year in advance on consoles, while it made sense to launch live service games day and date on both PC and console to maximize the user base from the start. However, in a new interview published yesterday by GamesIndustry.biz, Hulst appeared to walk back that promise, saying that releasing on PC is a great option but one that will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. We have made significant progress delivering games on PC in recent years, so where it makes sense for the game and the studio, it's a great option to have. But it's a decision that we will make for each individual game. It sounds like a partial turnaround, though the extent of it remains to be seen. The two PlayStation games ported to PC this year, Returnal and The Last of Us Part I, suffered underwhelming launches caused by poor performance. However, the developers improved the situation with a series of patches. As a reminder, live service games are a big part of Sony's future strategy for PlayStation, be it on console or PC. Roughly fifteen months ago, the Japanese company confirmed its plans to launch ten such games by March 2026. The first to be released should be Naughty Dog's The Last of Us standalone multiplayer game, which is due for a full reveal later this year. Then we have games from Firewalk, Haven, Deviation, Insomniac, Guerrilla (a Horizon online project), FireSprite, and London Studio. Of course, there's also Bungie, which plans to release its long-awaited new IP by 2025. https://wccftech.com/playstation-live-service-games-wont-necessarily-launch-on-pc-too/

The horizon is appealing because it's always beyond our reach yet always in view. You can see it very clearly in Laya's Horizon and arguably the goal is to make your way there. The game takes place in a small peaceful world surrounding a mountaintop. As such, the people have learned to live and embrace a lifestyle that favours altitude and have created capes that allow them to take advantage of it. Roundguard review - "Bouncing into roguelike randomness" These capes let them glide incredible distances while being durable enough to withstand accidental collisions and powerful airflows. As Laya, you are just starting to get into the art of gliding and are encouraged to explore and participate as much as you can for the sake of enjoyment and research. You're just one leap away from reaching the sky's limit. BEAUTIFUL VIEWS OF LAYA'S HORIZON Flying is something very empowering in games even when the game is based around it, but it's all about keeping it special. Laya's Horizon maintains a special feeling throughout the experience. The flying is done in a wonderful way that combines exhilaration with freedom while all the same time having a zen-like feeling. After a short introduction, you're planted on a literal jumping-off point with a full 360-degree view of your surroundings. The moment your feet are in the air, a thrill takes over as you start accelerating over the ground. Whether you're focused on Laya or on your surroundings, the whole flight is stimulating. This also goes for whether you're trying to fly all over or in a straight line since the presentation is both serene and appealing. Raging Bytes review - "Facing '70s zombies in '70s USA" Another challenge with flight mechanics is how best to capture them with controls without making them too awkward or restrictive. Despite being on the mobile platform, this game has made controls easy to learn and natural to use. First off, it constantly engages both of your thumbs which makes sense since Laya's arms in the cape are meant to act like two wings. Through a combination of various drags, you can fly up, down, fast, and slow, while doing gradual and sharp turns as you aim to land gracefully. Even if your flight comes to a stop with a collision, you'll brush it off quickly and be back in the air in no time. STRUGGLING TO TAKE IN LAYA'S HORIZON The horizon is unattainable so it can be difficult to capture all of its majesty in a game. Laya's Horizon makes a valiant effort but there's only so much that can be done. As such, it can be a very demanding game. Although it doesn't take up too much space, it does require strong processing power. Unless you have the latest phones or a good tablet, you're in for a very laggy time. Everything will stutter forward whenever you do anything and the gameplay will suffer as a result of delayed touchscreen inputs. It may also take a while to get used to the right amount of contact and drag in order to execute all the movements successfully and consistently, but thankfully the game is very forgiving. CHASING LAYA'S HORIZON Laya's Horizon is a 3D adventure-exploration game about flying over lands around a tall mountain. It captures the grace and excitement of flying with a lovely presentation and engaging controls. All it requires from you is patience and a strong enough device to support all of its wonders as you get a feel for the gameplay. If you manage this, you can join Laya's flight toward the horizon. https://www.pocketgamer.com/layas-horizon/review/

jedi survivor (Image credit: Respawn) As you probably know by now, the PC version of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor(opens in new tab) has not launched in the best of conditions, with many players reporting choppy performance in Respawn's latest Star Wars adventure. Publisher EA has already issued a sort-of apology(opens in new tab) for the problems, and has promised more patches coming in the next few weeks. One of those patches had landed today, which apparently provides "performance improvements for non-raytraced rendering." That's literally all the patchnotes say, though. There's no specific information about what's been fixed, or what's been causing all the problems in the first place. But this is the second update EA has released in the space of a few days, and Morgan reported that the first patch alleviated some of the issues(opens in new tab) he experienced while reviewing it, so let's hope this second patch further smooths things out. Today a patch has become available for the PC version of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, and tomorrow (5/2) we’ll also be issuing a patch for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.We are hard at work on patches that will further improve performance and fix bugs across all platforms.… pic.twitter.com/XrjbdDQUp6May 1, 2023 See more The announcement also addresses a bunch of bugfixes coming to consoles tomorrow, but as EA point out, the PC has already had those. It doesn't make any mention of other issues with the PC version that have been raised, such as the terrible implementation of AMD FSR 2.0 upscaling, and whether there's any chance of getting some DLSS action up in here. Sponsored Links The Allure of Trance: Music for the Soul Trance Music Chances are Respawn and EA have further improvements coming in the next few weeks. But it would have been better if all this could have been avoided, especially since the game underneath it all is genuinely very good. This isn't a Cyberpunk situation, where the flaws stretch beyond the technical and into the core game design. For what it's worth, the Steam reviews have improved(opens in new tab) from "Mostly Negative" to "Mixed", which suggests things are a little better than they were before the weekend. RECOMMENDED VIDEOS FOR YOU... Perhaps the problems would smart less if Survivor wasn't the latest in a spate of rough PC ports, including the technical mess(opens in new tab) that was Forspoken, and the outright disaster(opens in new tab) that was the PC version of The Last of Us. It's difficult to pin down what exactly the industry's problem is with the PC at the moment, but there certainly seems to be something troublesome in the water. https://www.pcgamer.com/new-jedi-survivor-pc-patch-pushes-further-performance-improvements/

sadiq sanjrani screengrab Sadiq Sanjrani. SCREENGRAB ISLAMABAD: The chairman Senate on Thursday wrote separate letters to the leader of the house and the opposition to nominate members from both the treasury and opposition benches to constitute a special committee for holding political dialogue. In the letter, Senate Chairman Muhammad Sadiq Sanjrani said that both leaders, Senator Ishaq Dar and Dr Shahzad Waseem, are requested to provide the names of four members for inclusion in the special committee within two days. Sanjrani stated that the Senate of Pakistan, House of Federation, being a stabilising factor of the federation is constitutionally bestowed with the responsibility of protecting the national and political harmony vis-a-vis the national and public interest. Read PM Shehbaz speaks to JI chief amid ongoing political crisis "By assuming this responsibility and taking note that the Parliament is the right and the only forum for the resolution of political issues, given the prevailing political and economic situation, a committee comprising of members of the Senate belonging to both sides of the aisle has been proposed to address the ongoing political and economic crisis, including the holding of general elections," he furthered. The 10-member special committee will be under the joint convenorship of the leader of the house and the opposition and will comprise of four members from each side. The Senate secretariat will remain available to assist/facilitate the committee in performing its functions for preserving the political system and for the betterment of the State and its citizenry.

Last week, adopting a carrot and stick policy, the apex court had asked all political parties to evolve a consensus on the date for holding simultaneous general elections of the National Assembly and the four provincial assemblies expeditiously; otherwise, the court had noted, its order regarding the Punjab Assembly elections on May 14 would come into force. A day earlier, addressing separate huddles of the parties in the ruling coalition, PML-N parliamentary party and cabinet, the premier said elections were an issue that needed to be decided in parliament and the appropriate time to conduct them was either in October or November. https://tribune.com.pk/story/2413945/chairman-senate-seeks-nominations-for-political-dialogue-committee

A cat caught up in an explosion has been found alive almost a week after it went missing. A 68-year-old man died in the suspected gas blast which damaged several houses in Morriston, Swansea on Monday. Three others were injured, including the missing animal's owner Claire Griffiths-Bennett and her son. While one of the family's cats was rescued from the rubble soon afterwards, ragdoll Teddy's whereabouts remained unknown. But on Sunday, the RSPCA's Llys Nini animal centre said: "Teddy has been caught!" Teddy being reunited with owner Claire IMAGE SOURCE,RSPCA LLYS NINI Image caption, Teddy was reunited with owner Claire (right) on Sunday It is believed Teddy had been living in the remains of the family home. The centre said Ms Griffiths-Bennett had been sitting next to the animal at the time of the blast. There were concerns he may not have survived, but on Tuesday he was spotted by Swansea Cats Protection, Llys Nini and South Wales Police. Llys Nini's Sally Hyman said they saw him "sitting on a pile of rubble". Ms Hyman said Teddy was looking at her and washing, but it was not until Sunday that they managed to catch him. She said: "He was big, fluffy and dirty but alive and well. Maybe he was hiding in the debris in the house." There were concerns the property would be demolished with Teddy inside. "So today [Sunday] was make or break," Ms Hyman added. In a Facebook post, the animal centre said: "Claire was released from hospital on Sunday and went straight to the remains of the house to see if Teddy would respond to her whistle. "However on arrival she was greeted with the news that Teddy had, just at that moment, been trapped. "There were tears all around." Teddy was described as "dusty" and "cross", but apparently unharmed. link: https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-wales-65009394

The Ford Kuga is probably not the most po[CENSORED]r in the compact SUV segment, but it has always been up to date in many ways. It is one of those with a more complete mechanical offer thanks to the conventional, hybrid and plug-in hybrid versions in its range. And now it also seeks to gain appeal with a special edition that is really complete. It is called Ford Kuga Graphite Tech Edition and stands out for some specific elements and for having practically all the available equipment. On the other hand, the Kuga Graphite Tech Edition also comes standard with the ST-Line Styling Pack, which adds that rear spoiler and red brake calipers on the outside, as well as alloy pedals and footrest protectors on the inside. A cabin that is also really complete and has all the technologies available in the model. The Tech Package could not be missing as standard, which adds LED headlights with anti-glare high beams or a Head-Up display to have the information at a first glance. The folks at Ford have realized that almost half of the Kuga's are ordered with the Driver Assistance Package, so they've included it in this Graphite Tech Edition as well. This means that it benefits from systems such as adaptive cruise control with signal recognition, blind spot warning, fatigue detector or active parking assistance; among other things. The special edition Ford Kuga Graphite Tech Edition is already accepting reservations and the first deliveries will be made from June. The model manufactured at the Valencia plant can be chosen with the conventional EcoBlue diesel and Ecoboost gasoline mechanics, as well as the electrified Kuga FHEV and Kuga Plug-In Hybrid. AUTO

ileLionel Messi's PSG future hangs in balance after suspension. AFP/File Paris Saint-Germain has suspended its captain, Lionel Messi, for two weeks without pay after he travelled to Saudi Arabia without the club's permission. The Argentine player had reportedly asked for permission to carry out commercial work but was refused. The 35-year-old is also a tourism ambassador for Saudi Arabia. Messi's contract with PSG expires this summer, and there have been reports that Barcelona is interested in re-signing him. PSG fans appear to be in agreement with the club's decision, and it is believed that Messi's contract will not be renewed. Although PSG officials see Messi's suspension as nothing unusual, they have made it clear that the future direction of the club involves younger players. It is also a sign of the club's zero-tolerance approach to discipline. In addition to missing the next two Ligue 1 matches, Messi's absence means he will not be present to witness PSG's attempts to secure a ninth league title in 11 seasons. Messi has scored 31 goals and provided 34 assists in 71 games in all competitions for PSG, helping the club win the Ligue 1 title last season. Barcelona has been trying to make Messi a contract offer this summer, but it may not be easy as they have been charged by LaLiga for breaching their spending limits for the 2021-22 season. Although the Christensen fine has been successfully appealed, Barca is at the very limit of what they can spend and may have to sell players to accommodate Messi's return. Nonetheless, the club is optimistic and buoyed by the lack of progress in Messi's contract talks with PSG. However, the Barcelona manager, Xavi, has stated that it is too soon to speculate about Messi's return to the club. Meanwhile, Messi has been offered a one-year deal worth a reported £400m to play for Saudi Arabian side Al Hilal, though there is no indication whether this offer had any connection to his recent trip. https://www.thenews.com.pk/latest/1066387-lionel-messis-psg-future-hangs-in-balance-after-suspension
