In the end, Yang Niuhua's story was not just about a legal battle or a courtroom drama. It was a story of courage, of faith, and of unwavering belief in the face of insurmountable odds. And as she faced her fate with a quiet dignity that spoke volumes, she reminded us all that sometimes, it is not the outcome that defines us, but the manner in which we face it. And in that, Yang Niuhua had emerged as a symbol of resilience, strength, and unwavering faith.OTTAWA — The Liberal government is pulling out the federal wallet to put more money into people's pockets over the holidays, but its recently announced affordability measures create winners and losers. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced on Thursday that the federal government will remove the goods and services tax on a slew of items for two months, starting Dec. 14. But in provinces where the provincial and federal sales taxes are blended together into a harmonized sales tax, Canadians will get a larger break. The federal government also plans to send $250 cheques to Canadians who were working in 2023 and earned up to $150,000. That means Canadians who were not working in 2023, including those who were receiving social assistance or were in retirement, will not be sent a cheque in April. In the House of Commons on Friday, NDP MP Peter Julian called the government out for not including Canadians with fixed incomes. "Why are Liberals excluding seniors and people with disabilities from the real help they need this holiday season? Why won't Liberals help them, too?" Julian asked during question period. At a news conference on Friday, Trudeau said that the federal government has already stepped up to help the most vulnerable Canadians and that it is now time to give a hand to workers. "Over the past number of years, we have been extraordinarily present in helping the most vulnerable Canadians," Trudeau said, mentioning the boost to old-age security for seniors aged 75 and older and the Canada Child Benefit. "But as I travel across the country, I do regularly hear from working Canadians who are having trouble making ends meet, but saying, 'look, I don't have kids. I'm not a senior yet, and I'm facing challenges.'" The GST break, which is expected to cost the federal government $1.6 billion, will apply to a number of items including children's clothing and shoes, toys, diapers, restaurant meals and beer and wine. It also applies to Christmas trees — both natural and artificial — along with a variety of snack foods and beverages, and video game consoles. Meanwhile, 18.7 million people will receive a check this spring, costing the government about $4.7 billion. This report by The Canadian Press was first published Nov. 22, 2024. Nojoud Al Mallees, The Canadian PressUnless we keep our electronics hermetically sealed while in use or stored away — which would be a fire hazard in most cases — they're inevitably going to get dirty and start to gather germs. Whether it's cleaning laptop keyboards or disinfecting smartphones , it all becomes a necessity at some point. The problem is that electronics are, by their very nature, somewhat delicate and sensitive to things like moisture, certain chemicals, and abrasive materials. So while it's generally not all that difficult to clean them, you want to be sure to use the right kind of cleaning materials. Fortunately there are a lot of them out there, with some everyday items able to pull double-duty and some items made specifically for cleaning these kinds of devices. Before getting started, it's extremely important to note that your electronics need to be turned off and unplugged before making any attempt to clean them. Also, make sure not to plug them back in or turn them back on if they're still wet from any cleaning solutions you might have used. These days you're likely to find a microfiber cloth packaged with some of the devices you buy, or eyeglasses if you wear them. Of course, microfiber cloths are available on their own — from off-brand multipacks to Apple's own $19 polishing cloth . Microfiber cloths are designed to be extremely soft and non-abrasive, as well as washable and reusable. Relatively cheap, too, as you can find a couple dozen of them for as little as $10 for the bunch on Amazon Basics . Obviously a soft cloth on its own won't sanitize any of your devices, but they're ideal for cleaning off display screens. Microfiber cleaning cloths are also a good way to wipe away dirt, fingerprints, various other skin oil residue, and so on without scratching a finish. Heck, they're often considered to be one of the items you're likely to have at home that are perfect for cleaning an iPhone . Plenty of fairly innocuous items can also be useful when it comes to cleaning delicate electronics — and if you don't have them on-hand already they're pretty easy to get ahold of for just a few bucks. With that said, it's extremely important to note that not all of these household items are a good idea for all types of devices. For example, there are plenty of products you'll want to avoid using on smartphones but are still safe and convenient to use on other items. Always take a few moments to look into the recommended (and not recommended) cleaning methods for a given item before using chemicals of any kind or potentially abrasive or sharp tools. Soft (and clean) makeup brushes are a great way to gently remove dust without posing a risk to delicate surfaces. Toothpicks can be used to carefully dig dirt and debris out of crevices on some electronics, while cotton swabs can be used with isopropyl alcohol to disinfect similarly tiny spots. Disinfectant wipes are a quick way to kill a bunch of germs across the entire surface of a device. Though again, you'll want to make sure toothpicks, isopropyl alcohol, and disinfectant wipes will play well with something before you attempt to use them. Okay, yes, disinfectant wipes were already mentioned, but that was in reference to general all-purpose wipes. Like the kind you'd get at the end of a meal at a restaurant. However, cleaning wipes made specifically for electronics also exist, and are available from a multitude of brands. From a $26.90 4-pack of Weiman Electronic Screen Cleaner Wipes to a $4.77 25-count pack of Windex Electronic Cleaning Wipes , there are plenty of options available at a variety of price ranges. Electronic wipes are typically made to be static-resistant and soft enough to avoid scratching delicate surfaces. Beyond that, however, the cleaning formulas they're soaked in are less harsh and typically free of potentially damaging chemicals like ammonia while still purporting to kill most bacteria and germs they come into contact with. You'll still want to be careful when using electronic wipes, however. Not because they're potentially damaging, but because (as with all liquids) the cleaning solution could seep into ports or vents. If enough moisture gets in, it could cause water damage to your phone or other electronics, but as long as you're mindful and avoid getting the liquid from the wipes into any of the internals you shouldn't run into any problems. Cleaning sprays made specifically for electronics at least take the risk of chemical damage out of the equation — provided you make sure they're compatible with the device you want to clean first, of course. WHOOSH! Spray Cleaner , which typically sells for around $19.99, is supposed to be safe for cleaning everything from eyeglasses and car windshields to laptop and phone screens. Or, for $19.97 you can grab EVEO's Screen Cleaner Spray , which offers much of the same. Though just like with cleaning wipes, spray cleaners do require a bit of care to use. You never want to get too much moisture inside your electronics. So unless otherwise instructed, it's best to spray the solution onto a cleaning cloth and then wipe down the surface rather than spraying directly onto the device (less risk of particles finding their way inside that way). You also want to make sure the cleaner you're going to use doesn't contain any chemicals that could damage your device, such as ammonia, acetone, chlorine, or peroxides. When there's a particular kind of device you want to cleanse, dedicated kits are also a solid idea. You can find camera lens cleaning kits , $7.40 AirPods Cleaning Kits , portable anti-static Nylon Anti-Static Brush Kits for $13.97, and just about anything else you might be looking for. Kits are handy because they come with (or at least are supposed to come with) all of the tools and wipes and whatnot you'll need to clean the designated device. This should mean you won't need to purchase or go digging for any other items before getting to the disinfecting. You should still do a little research before using one of these kits with your electronics, though. It's better to verify that the kit does what it claims to do, and that the included items are, in fact, safe to use on your device — particularly if they include cleaning solutions (or wipes), or you're not familiar with the name of the company that makes them. Cans of compressed air are usually quite cheap — for example, it's just $16.83 for a Dust-Off Three Pack , or $17.99 for an Office Depot Cleaning Duster pack of three. They're also a useful way to deal with small particles like dust, and are one of SlashGear's go-to tools for cleaning your PC's motherboard . However, you do want to be mindful of exactly how you use a can of compressed air. If the components you're spraying are extremely delicate, the force behind the air could damage them. Also, if you hold the can upside-down, it's likely to end up spraying out some of the propellant liquid, which could lead to moisture damage. There are alternatives to disposable cans of air, too. Electric equivalents like the $58.99 CCCFFF Compressed Air Duster won't require refills or new cans of air, don't use chemicals so there's no risk of moisture, and often include vacuum functionality. So they can be used to blow dust and debris off or out of your devices, then clean up what was dislodged. Yes, the cleaning slime seen in viral videos — or gel, depending on what the brand calls it — is a real thing and yes, it does work. A lot of these cleaning goops are specifically marketed for car cleaning, but you can still use them on electronic devices. They're fairly inexpensive, too, with items like PULIDIKI Car Cleaning Gel selling for as little as $9.99 for two jars. These gooey substances are sort of like a much thicker version of the kinds of slime you'd find in a toy store or checkout line, but with more of a purpose than entertaining kids. The idea is that the substance seeps into some of the larger crevices to envelope or stick to things like dust, dirt, and crumbs. Then you pull the slime up and it takes the ickiness with it. Cleaning slime does have its limitations, though. For instance, slime cleaning isn't quite as thorough with very small nooks and crannies as something like a toothpick or small brush. Additionally, while slimes are reusable, you can't really clean the gunk you pick up out of them, so they'll eventually get too dirty to keep using and you'll need to switch to a fresh batch. Before getting into the specifics of ultraviolet (UV) sanitizers, we need to talk about potential risks. Not all of these devices are dangerous when used as instructed, but several models have been deemed unsafe by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA). So if you do decide to go the UV route, please go over the FDA's list first. UV sanitizers are arguably the best way to clean a smartphone screen thanks to two primary factors — the UV rays being used have been shown to kill 99.99-percent of bacteria and viruses, and it poses no risk of damaging your phone in the process. Problem is, UV rays can damage your eyes, while long-term or overexposure can lead to other serious health issues — including cancer. For these reasons — and the previously-mentioned list of FDA no-nos — using an enclosed UV sanitizer is recommended over a wand. These small boxes, like the $79.95 PhoneSoap 3 UV Cell Phone Sanitizer , completely encase the phone or other devices that are small enough to fit inside and keep the UV rays contained. Pop the device inside, close it up, wait about 10 minutes, and you're good to go.
We have been at the edge of a precipice since December 1990 and more so since April 1991. The foreign exchange crisis constitutes a serious threat to the sustainability of growth processes and orderly implementation of our development programmes. Due to the combination of unfavourable internal and external factors, the inflationary pressures on the price level have increased very substantially since mid-1990. The people of India have to face double digit inflation which hurts most the poorer sections of our society. In sum, the crisis in the economy is both acute and deep.

(AP) — At least 6,000 inmates escaped from a high-security prison in Mozambique’s capital on Christmas Day after a rebellion, the country's police chief said, as widespread post-election riots and violence are roiling the country. Police chief Bernardino Rafael said 33 prisoners died and 15 others were injured during a confrontation with the security forces. The prisoners fled during violent protests that have seen police cars, stations and infrastructure destroyed after the country’s Constitutional Council confirmed the ruling Frelimo party as the winner of the Oct. 9 elections. The escape from the Maputo Central Prison, located 14 kilometers (9 miles) southwest of the capital, started around midday on Wednesday after “agitation” by a “group of subversive protesters” nearby, Rafael said. Some of the prisoners at the facility snatched weapons from the guards and started freeing other detainees. “A curious fact is that in that prison we had 29 convicted terrorists, who they released. We are worried, as a country, as Mozambicans, as members of the defense and security forces,” said Rafael. “They (protesters) were making noise, demanding that they be able to remove the prisoners who are there serving their sentences”, said Rafael, adding that the protests led to the collapse of a wall, allowing the prisoners to flee. He called on the escaped prisoners to surrender to authorities and for the population to be informed about the fugitives. Videos circulating on social media show the moment inmates left the prison, while other recordings reveal captures made by military personnel and prison guards. Many prisoners tried to hide in homes, but some were unsuccessful and ended up being detained again. In one video, a prisoner still with handcuffs on his right wrist says he was held n the disciplinary section of the prison and was released by other inmates.

Without a seat in the house, he’s been watching the cut and thrust of the provincial legislature from the sidelines, and he’s trying new things. The Opposition NDP has become more targeted in its media messaging and its approach to debates in the house, in part to avoid the trap of responding to the United Conservative Party government with daily outrage, he said. “It’s almost been useful for me to have the freedom to go talk to the nurses or the teachers or the parents or the cops, rather than be sitting in that room watching really, really bad acting and really terrible drama on the other side of the aisle,” he said. Still, the question of where and when Nenshi might get a seat in that hostile theatre is likely to continue to dog him in 2025. This year was bookended by former Rachel Notley announcing in January her resignation as party leader and recently that she would leave the legislature Dec. 30. In June, Nenshi took the helm. With Notley’s Edmonton-Strathcona seat soon to be vacant, Nenshi could look to get elected in the capital, where he now spends much of his time. He said he isn’t expecting Premier Danielle Smith to call a byelection before the six-month deadline to do so in June, after the house traditionally breaks for the summer. “The premier will delay the byelection to keep me out so that I can’t be part of the budget debates,” he said. In more ways than one, the NDP is still under construction. Hanging over Nenshi’s head is a steady stream of UCP attack ads accusing the provincial New Democrats of being under the thumb of Jagmeet Singh’s federal NDP. Provincial members automatically become part of the federal party, despite clear policy differences between the two, especially when it comes to the oil and gas industry. Nenshi has long said he wants to bring the federal membership issue to his party members to decide as soon as possible. The earliest NDP members could debate, and potentially change that sticking point in the party’s constitution, is in early May at the next NDP policy convention in Edmonton. There, members are also expected to steer the direction of what has largely remained a blank slate of a plan and platform. In the new year, Nenshi said the focus will continue to be on what he says has been missing from the UCP’s legislative agenda: affordability, jobs, health care, public safety and education. “These are not priorities for this government at all.” He has moved on one front by putting his former health critic, Luanne Metz, in charge of consulting on and fleshing out a health-care plan next year. “(The UCP is) making this up as they go along and we’re going to take the time to get it right,” Nenshi said. The NDP offered a few priorities in the fall. New Democrats pitched private member’s bills that aim to protect workers’ tips from being pocketed by employers, bring in cancer care delivery standards and take action on Indigenous reconciliation. A proposal to bring back school class size reporting was defeated. There are UCP policies Nenshi hopes to one day repeal, including what he calls the “cruel, hateful” legislation that restricts transgender health care and will bring in pronoun policy in schools. And, after the first full year of the government’s loosened ethics rules for political staff to accept gifts, Nenshi has another proposal. “Throw open the curtains so that we can see all of the grift and corruption that has happened under this government to make sure it’s not repeated ever,” he said.

- Signaling a new era of service to the congregation and the community with renewed commitment and the addition of beautifully renovated spaces - BERGAMO, Italy, and LOS ANGELES, Calif., Dec. 24, 2024 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Nestled between Lake Como and Lake Iseo in the north of Italy, the city of Bergamo is an architectural gem of medieval charm and breathtaking beauty. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, its landmarks take visitors on a journey through history, from the 12th-century Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore to the famous 16th-century walls that surround the upper city, through the museum that honors the beloved operas of Bergamo’s own Gaetano Donizetti, to today’s trendy bistros, bakeries and gelaterias. And in the heart of the city are the expanded new facilities of the Ideal Church of Scientology Mission of Bergamo . Scientology Missions form the vanguard of the Scientology religion, providing the full array of basic and introductory Scientology services and Scientology auditing (spiritual counseling). The Ideal Church of Scientology Mission in Bergamo is designed to serve as the physical embodiment of Scientology technology in helping all to attain spiritual freedom. It was a joyous Sunday afternoon, November 10, when community leaders and parishioners celebrated the anniversary and expansion of the Ideal Church of Scientology Mission of Bergamo. Those joining Mission Director Marta Riva for this milestone celebration included Ms. Nilupa Warnakulasooriya, Representative of the Sri Lanka North Italy Community; Mr. Franco Ravaglioli, Vice President of the Universal Peace Federation of Italy; Mr. Daniel Sigua, Founder and CEO of TCG News Italia; and Mr. Gabriele Riva, an intercultural advocate and a lieutenant of the Alpini, an elite mountain infantry corps of the Italian Army known for its volunteerism and humanitarian activities. Stepping to the podium, Ms. Warnakulasooriya thanked the mission for helping her achieve her humanitarian objectives. She spoke of her passion for ensuring Sri Lankan children living in Italy can adapt to the culture and thrive in their new home. Growing up in a foreign culture can be daunting. Children have to contend with customs and struggle with a new language, which can set them apart and create friction. When Ms. Warnakulasooriya discovered L. Ron Hubbard’s The Way to Happiness she found the practical skills and moral values that can prepare these youths to become the leaders of tomorrow . “L. Ron Hubbard provided a great gift by giving us The Way to Happiness ,” she said, “a gift that allows us to create harmony and respect among people of all races, religions, ages and genders.” Vice President of Universal Peace Federation of Italy Mr. Franco Ravaglioli believes in the unique and essential role religions play in promoting a world of lasting peace in which people of all nationalities, ethnicities and cultures can live together in harmony. “I appreciate the Scientologists I’ve come to know—they are open, willing to work together, and committed to creating real change. We will continue together on this path to create a better world,” he said, “for I believe that one day, we can achieve what Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard envisioned with the Aims of Scientology: ‘A world without insanity, without criminals and without war.’ In other words, a world of peace.” TCG News Italia CEO Mr. Daniel Sigua is dedicated to the human rights of the Latin American diaspora in Italy. “Today, we have a community that is more aware and educated about human rights, thanks to your Spanish-language resources and materials promoting the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.” He thanked the Church for its firm commitment to promoting values of unity and collaboration. “Thanks to your support, we will be able to carry out important initiatives for human rights and the growth of our community.” The final speaker, Lt. Riva, has long served in the Alpini’s legendary Giulia Mountain Brigade. “Those experiences—despite their hardships—have remained with me for a lifetime,” he said. “In the early 1980s, I was offered the opportunity to host 40 young university students from the Philippines who were touring around the world. In my small hamlet of about 1,000 people, convincing my fellow villagers to open their homes and hearts to strangers from a country so different from ours was a feat. But hospitality and generosity are values we lived by back then—values that, sadly, have faded over the years, even in my own little town.” Last winter, after the long interruption of the pandemic, the students from the Filipino choir reached out again, and Mr. Riva turned to the Scientology Mission of Bergamo. “It is thanks to all of you—your willingness, your help, and your incredible efficiency—that this choir was able to perform here in Bergamo. They sang in honor of the many families touched by the pandemic, families who have shown strength and resilience. This experience brought new life to my village. I want to express my deepest gratitude for the Church of Scientology’s invaluable role as a champion of ‘cooperation between different cultures for the common good.’” Mission director Marta Riva shared a brief history of her Mission, its services, and its humanitarian goals. “The 2020 pandemic was one of the hardest times our city ever experienced,” she said. “Our staff and parishioners immediately responded to help the many families affected by the tragedy. Today, our Scientology community has grown to such an extent that we needed to expand our premises, where we stand ready to serve not only Scientologists but all of Bergamo.” Visitors to the Ideal Bergamo Mission are welcome to tour the Public Information Display, featuring multimedia presentations of the basic beliefs and practices of Dianetics and Scientology as well as the life and legacy of L. Ron Hubbard. As an Ideal Church of Scientology Mission, Bergamo is equipped with every facility needed to provide the full array of introductory Scientology services. These include the popular Life Improvement Courses through which anyone may find workable solutions to common challenges of everyday life—such as how to improve a marriage, successfully raise children, increase personal motivation, and set and achieve goals. The Mission also offers seminars on a wide range of topics, including personal efficiency. The Hubbard Dianetics Seminar is based on Mr. Hubbard’s watershed work Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health , the bestselling book that reveals the source of one’s nightmares, unreasonable fears and irrational behavior—the reactive mind—and how to conquer it. Additionally, the Mission provides spiritual counseling, known as auditing , and the Purification Program , developed by Mr. Hubbard to free individuals from the mental and spiritual damage caused by drugs and toxins. November 10 also saw the Grand Opening of the new Ideal Church of Scientology Mission of McMinnville, Oregon, and the Ideal Scientology Mission of Chiayi, Taiwan. It was followed on November 16, with the Grand Opening of the Ideal Scientology Missions of Taichung, Taiwan, and Santo André, Brazil. The new Ideal Scientology Mission of Osaka, Japan, will open on November 30. Many more Ideal Scientology Missions are planned across North and South America, Europe and Asia in the coming year. The Scientology religion was founded by author and philosopher L. Ron Hubbard. Mr. David Miscavige is the Scientology religion’s ecclesiastical leader . The first Church of Scientology was formed in Los Angeles in 1954 and the religion has expanded to more than 11,000 Churches, Missions and affiliated groups, with millions of members in 167 countries.
