South Africa Strips Citizenship from Activist's Killer

0

Polish immigrant Janusz Walus was sentenced to life in prison for shooting Hani, head of the military wing of the African National Congress
South Africa has renounced the citizenship of the man who killed anti-apartheid leader Chris Hani in 1993.
Polish immigrant Janusz Walus was sentenced to life in prison for shooting Hani, head of the military wing of the African National Congress. South Africa’s main anti-apartheid movement became the country’s ruling party after the end of white minority rule.
Walus’ lawyer Julian Knight confirmed the renunciation of his South African citizenship on Tuesday.
Walus has said he hoped the assassination would plunge South Africa into chaos ahead of the country’s first all-race elections in 1994. That election saw Nelson Mandela become the country’s first black president.

Amazon shares hit $1,000 for the first time – Silicon Valley

0

Amazon, the e-commerce giant that has changed how much of the world shops for books, toilet paper and TVs, hit a new milestone. Its stock topped $1,000 for the first time.
NEW YORK — Amazon, the e-commerce giant that has changed how much of the world shops for books, toilet paper and TVs, hit a new milestone. Its stock topped $1,000 for the first time.
That price puts Amazon’s market value at $478 billion, double that of rival Wal-Mart and more than 15 times the size of Target. And its four-digit stock price places it in rare company: Only four other U. S.-listed companies have shares that trade above $1,000.
Amazon.com has come a long way since its start in 1995, when it mostly sold books.
The Seattle company now sells just about anything, from groceries to small appliances, and has been blamed for taking business away from department stores, supermarkets and clothing retailers.

A British shopping center in the vicinity of Liverpool was purportedly defaced with a cheeky message by a group of anonymous hackers on May 29, BBC reports. reports
“We suggest you improve your security, ” the collective wrote on the screen, identifying themselves as the “friendly neighborhood hackers.”
The writing appeared on a large outdoor display at the Liverpool One shopping center situated just outside of the city. According to reports, no other screens were affected – though passers-by said that several other billboards have since been deactivated.
Numerous users on Reddit and Twitter have reported spotting the tampered billboard, but Liverpool One was quick to respond to the spoof, closing down the screen as soon as it was notified about the incident. Reddit

It remains unclear who was responsible for the hacking. A spokesperson for the shopping center has since told BBC that the “screens are operated by an external company [Elonex] which is currently investigating what happened as a matter of urgency.”
“We can confirm an incident occurred over the weekend on one of the 18 screens we operate at Liverpool One, ” a spokesperson for Elonex told BBC. “The incident appears to have been good-natured and not intended to cause offence or disruption, for which we are grateful.”

0

【5月1日 AFP】 女子ゴルフ、 テキサスシュートアウト(Volunteers of America Texas Shootout 2017)は4月30日、 米テキサス(Texas)州アービング (Irving)の ラスコリナス・ カントリークラブ(Las Colinas Country Club)で最終日が行われ、 野村敏京(Haru Nomura)がクリスティ・ カー(Cristie Kerr、 米国)との 6ホールに及ぶプレーオフを制し、 米ツアー3勝目を飾った。
【5月1日 AFP】女子ゴルフ、テキサスシュートアウト( Volunteers of America Texas Shootout 2017 )は4月30日、米テキサス( Texas )州アービング ( Irving )のラスコリナス・カントリークラブ( Las Colinas Country Club )で最終日が行われ、野村敏京( Haru Nomura )がクリスティ・カー( Cristie Kerr 、米国)との6ホールに及ぶプレーオフを制し、米ツアー3勝目を飾った。
強風が吹き荒れる中、すっかり日が落ちたパー5の18番で最後に喜んだのは野村だった。互いにパーセーブを続けて迎えた6ホール目。イーグルチャンスにつけた野村は先にバーディーを獲得。最後はカーの約3メートルのバーディーパットが外れるのを見届けた。
昨年のオーストラリアン・オープン( ISPS Handa Women’s Australian Open 2016 )とスウィンギングスカート・LPGAクラシック( Swinging Skirts LPGA Classic presented by CTBC 2016 )に続く優勝を果たした野村は、「また勝つことできて本当にうれしい。かなり興奮している」と喜んだ。
全体の平均スコアが76を上回った最終日、2位と2打差でスタートした野村は厳しいコンディションにもかかわらず、フロントナインを1バーディー、1ボギーのイーブンパーにまとめる順調な出だしを切った。
しかし、野村は10番と11番、14番と16番でボギーとスコアを四つ落とすと、17番では約4メートルのパットを沈めながらもダブルボギー。同じホールでこの日唯一のバーディーを奪ったカーに逆転を許したが、続く18番でバーディーを決めて勝負の行方をプレーオフに持ち込んでいた。
通算3アンダーの野村とカーは、この日一人だけアンダーパーをマークしたジェシカ・コルダ( Jessica Korda 、米国)を2打差の3位、韓国の朴城ヒョン( Sung Hyun Park )を3打差の4位に抑えた。 (c) AFP

Italy backs Merkel call for stronger Europe in age of Trump

0

Italy on Tuesday backed German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s call for Europe to be a stronger player on the world stage in the era of Donald Trump and Brexit.
Italy on Tuesday backed German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s call for Europe to be a stronger player on the world stage in the era of Donald Trump and Brexit.
«We certainly share the idea that the future of Europe has to be in our own hands — global challenges impose that, » Italian Prime Minister Paolo Gentiloni said after meeting his Canadian counterpart Justin Trudeau in Rome.
The centre-left leader added: «That does not take anything away from the importance of transatlantic relations or the alliance with the United States.
«But the importance we give to these ties cannot lead to us renouncing fundamental principles such as our commitments against climate change and for open societies and free international trade.»
Gentiloni was speaking after Merkel made waves with weekend remarks in which she suggested that Brexit-bound Britain and a Trump-led United States may no longer be reliable partners for the European Union.
The German leader reiterated the main thrust of her remarks on Tuesday, saying the «current situation» gives Europe more reasons «to take our destiny into our own hands».
Both Merkel and Gentiloni stressed that a more prominent leadership role for Europe did not necessarily mean any less cooperation with the United States.
The eurozone’s big three economies, Germany, France and Italy, are sharply at odds with the US over climate change, the future of international trade and the management of mass migration.
These divergences were aired at a summit of G7 leaders in Sicily at the weekend at which Trump found himself isolated over his threat to ditch the 2015 Paris accord aimed at slowing climate change.
Trump’s abrasive style also helped sour the mood, according to diplomats present, but Gentiloni and Trudeau both stressed the importance of maintaining cordial relations.
Highlighting Canada’s strong political and trade ties to Europe, Trudeau said: «We will always work together and highlight the shared values that are equally important on both sides of the Atlantic, including in the United States.»
He said discussions on subjects of disagreement needed to continue on the basis of «openness, frankness and robust exchanges.»
Trump has vowed to decide this week whether to pull the US out of the Paris framework on climate change but left his counterparts in the G7 with no idea of which way he was leaning.
Trudeau reiterated an argument made repeatedly to the US president in Sicily, saying: «With regard to climate change in particular, the only way to move forward is to protect the environment while creating the jobs we need for today and tomorrow.»

Intel reveals its new 18-core, 36-thread “extreme” Core i9 processor at Computex

At its Computex event in Taipei today, Intel unveiled its new Core X-series of processors. The debut of its latest high-end desktop CPUs wasn’ t a surprise after plans were leaked earlier this month, but the series’ flagship model—the 18-core, 36-thread Intel i9-7980XE—still makes a very loud splash.
Priced at an eye-watering $1,999, the Intel i9-7980XE will remain aspirational for all but a handful of consumers, but it serves as Intel’s salvo in its ongoing processor battle with AMD. With 16-cores and 32-threads, the AMD Ryzen Threadripper, announced earlier this month, was supposed to be a contender for the world’s most powerful consumer CPU, but it looks like Intel has taken back the mantle for now.
Other members of the Core i9 family are more realistically priced and range from $999 for 10 cores to $1,699 for 16 cores (12 and 14 cores are also available) . All i9 processors have a base clock speed of 3.3 GHz and go up to 4.3 GHz dual-core frequency with Turbo Boost 2.0 and 4.5 GHz with Turbo Boost Max. Other chips in the line-up are the quad-core i5-7640X and i7 processors with 4,6 or 8 cores. Intel hasn’ t announced shipping dates yet.

Android co-creator unveils the $700 Essential smartphone

0

Following the first teaser picture of Andy Rubin’ s Essential smartphone in March, and some leaked specs last month, the Android co-founder has finally unveiled his company’ s handset.
Following the first teaser picture of Andy Rubin’s Essential smartphone in March, and some leaked specs last month, the Android co-founder has finally unveiled his company’s handset.
Essential said it was focusing on high-end hardware and features that would put the device up against products from Samsung, Apple, and Google. It seems to have lived up to the promise with a handset that boasts a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 SoC, 4GB of RAM, USB Type-C, a 3040mAh battery, and 128GB of UFS 2.0 internal storage.
Unlike many of today’s aluminum phones, the device is made of titanium and ceramic, which means it should be able to withstand accidental falls and bumps better than most. It also looks very sleek, with a conspicuous absence of logos.
Probably the most noticeable feature is that 5.7-inch, 2560 x 1312 QHD (503 PPI) screen. Like most modern flagships, the 19: 10 display has an edge-to-edge design, but it goes all the way to the top, wrapping itself around the front-facing camera – something that could be a ‘love it or hate it’ quirk. The Verge notes that the status bar at the top of an Android screen doesn’ t fill the middle space with icons, so it’s supposedly efficient. But the camera can look a bit invasive when viewing full-length images.
Another interesting feature of the Essential phone is that it’s modular. As with Motorola’s Moto Mods, you can customize the handset by attaching accessories; in this case, they stick to the magnetic pins on its back. One of the add-ons is a 360-degree camera that can shoot spherical UHD video at 30 fps. There’s also a cradle-style charging dock available.
The Essential phone’s built-in camera is no slouch, either. It uses a dual-lens setup consisting of a regular 13MP CIS and a monochrome CIS that takes in more light, making it ideal for low-light photography. And don’ t forget about that 8-megapixel front-facing snapper, which can also record 4K video.
Other features include Gorilla Glass 5, Android Nougat 7.1.1, a rear fingerprint sensor, Bluetooth 5.0, and no bloatware. Like the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus, it lacks a headphone jack, but Essential includes a complimentary USB C-to-3.5mm adaptor with every device sold.
The Essential phone is available to pre-order today for $699 or $749 if you want the camera accessory. No word yet on when it’ ll ship.

Nelly liked Trump, just ‘not as my president’

0

The «Sounds Good to Me» rapper sat down with Page Six Thursday to talk about his new music and an upcoming tour with Florida Georgia Line, and was passionate…
Nelly may have shouted out Donald Trump in his hit song “Country Grammar” in 2000, but that probably would not have happened if he wrote the song today.
“You know the thing about Donald Trump is that I liked Donald Trump, I did, I just don’ t like Donald Trump as my president, ” the “Sounds Good to Me” rapper told Page Six Thursday.
The 42-year-old said he feels the first family should set an example for their fellow Americans.
“He doesn’ t surprise me as a person, he surprises me as a president because you don’ t expect certain things, certain attitudes, ” he explained.
Nelly’s personal gripe with the Trump, though, has more to do with where the rapper can sleep while on the road.
“You know, I’ m more or less mad at him because I can’ t stay at his hotels now… I’ ve been staying there for 15 years, and now you pull this?” he lamented.
The rapper ended the conversation with a word of advice: “Get it together, homie!”
