India vs Pakistan: Top 10 cricketing moments
Javed Miandad’s last-ball six, Sharjah – 1986The fans from both the countries have contrasting memories of this match when Javed Miandad won the match for Pakistan with a last-ball six.It was a Javed Miandad special! Pakistan were chasing 246 against India in the AustralAsia Cup final against India and they needed four off the last ball. Chetan Sharma was a mean customer and was accurate enough to deliver victory under those circumstances. But up against Miandad’s will and doggedness, Sharma was no match. The wily batsman, on 110, smashed the waist-high full-toss over the ropes. And the rest is history.

Miandad was always known as a fierce competitor. More often than not, he got under the skin of the opposition. And it was a tense game! The arch-rivals were up against each in a World Cup for the first time ever. Chasing India’s 216, Pakistan were doing well. Also read: India have traditionally bullied Pakistan in T20Is Miandad and Aamer Sohail were going well together and that was the time when India’s wicketkeeper Kiran More got noisy behind the wickets. More’s persistent appeals ticked off Miandad and then came the spontaneous leaps, both hands clutching the bat. It was to mimic More but Miandad made a fool of himself. In the following overs, few words were also exchanged between the two players, but the umpire took control of the situation. Miandad made a 110-ball 40 before getting yorked by Javagal Srinath and Pakistan losing the match by 43 runs.advertisementVenkatesh Prasad turns the table on Aamer Sohail, Bangalore – 1996The Aamer Sohail-Venkatesh Prasad clash on the cricket field would go down as one of the best moments between India and Pakistan. The stage was big, the 1996 World Cup quarterfinal in Bangalore and Prasad’s home-ground. India, batting first, had scored a competitive 287 and Pakistan made a blazing start to the chase. Also read: Stats Pack: India vs Pakistan records Sohail attacked the Indian bowlers right from the word go and for a while it looked like the match had slipped from India’s hands. Sohail after hitting Prasad for a boundary, brashly signaled the bowler to fetch the ball. But Prasad had the last laugh. Off the very next ball, he bowled Sohail and the Chinnaswamy Stadium erupted. After Sohail’s exit, Pakistan lost their way in their chase of 287.Sachin Tendulkar’s epic 136, Chennai – 1999India were set a target of 271 and Sachin Tendulkar took charge of the chase after the hosts collapsed to 82/5. Tendulkar was not ready to give up the fight, though hampered by back spasms and he went on to stitch a gusty partnership with Nayan Mongia. The Master Blaster remained dogged at the middle, taking India closer to victory before falling to Saqlain Mustaq, caught off a leading edge. Tendulkar’s wicket triggered a collapse and India lost the Test by 12 runs.

Pakistan had no answer to Kumble on a dusty Kotla track chasing a mammoth 420 and were bundled out for 207 an hour after tea on the fourth day. That remains the best bowling performance by an Indian bowler till date. Also read: India better prepared in tense clash Saeed Anwar 194, Chennai – May 21, 1997Nearly two decades ago, the Chepauk crowd was witness to one of the greatest ODI knocks ever. Pakistan opener Saeed Anwar made merry by scoring 194 runs, the then highest score in ODIs, off just 145 balls. He smashed 22 boundaries and five sixes in the course of his innings. Anwar had broken the record held by West Indies great Viv Richards.The Indian bowlers, helped by the humid conditions, were trying to get rid of Anwar right from the first over. But the elegant left-hander was unstoppable and he continued the rampage until the 47th over. Also read: India not taking Pakistan lightly, says Rohit Sharma Anwar had hamstring issues and the heat had drained him. However, with the help of a runner – Shahid Afridi – Anwar managed to hold on and punish the Indian attack. Anwar was well on course for the first double century in ODI cricket. Anwar though was dismissed by Sachin Tendulkar, who later went on to own the record.advertisementSachin Tendulkar-Virender Sehwag opening partnership, Centurion – March 1, 2003The India-Pakistan match, as usual, was the most anticipated clash of the 2003 World Cup in South Africa. Sachin Tendulkar had already made a mark in the tournament with his class. But the Pakistani pace attack comprising Wasim Akram, Waqar Younis and Shoaib Akhtar were waiting for the challenge.The match turned out to be a box-office winner. It had plenty of high-octane moments and when India came on to bat, the tempo skyrocketed.Chasing 274, Virender Sehwag and Tendulkar made light work of the one of the best bowling attacks in the world. Both of them threw their bat at everything and injected pace early in the innings. Tendulkar hit a humongous six and followed it up with two boundaries in Akhtar’s first over. The carnage continued until Sehwag stayed at the crease. Pakistan struck back with Sehwag and Ganguly’s wicket in quick succession, but Tendulkar and Mohammad Kaif stitched a century- stand to steer India’s chase. Also read: MS Dhoni misses training session ahead of Pakistan clash The most dramatic moment of the game came when Akhtar dismissed Tendulkar on 98. The master batsman was battling with cramps when Akhtar’s bouncer caught him off guard. The centurion crowd went silent.However, Yuvraj Singh and Rahul Dravid made sure India suffered no more hiccups in the chase.MS Dhoni 148, Visakhapatnam – April 5, 2005Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s innings in Visakhapatnam against Pakistan was like a highly entertaining commercial movie. It was over in three hours, it had all the elements which most fans would enjoy but purists would not. Dhoni occasionally played textbook shots. More often than not, he inflicted brutal blows. Dhoni’s 148 came off just 123 balls. It included 15 boundaries five big sixes. More importantly, the five innings-old player was proving to be the solution for India’s issues with underperforming wicketkeeper-batsmen.ICC World Twenty20 in Durban, 2007The result was decided after a bowl-out and the match is best remembered for that thrilling finish. India after being put in to bat, got off to a shaky start but Robin Uthappa scored a fifty and useful contributions from MS Dhoni (33) and Irfan Pathan (20) helped the team post a par-score of 141. Pakistan lost wickets at regular intervals in their chase until Misbah-ul-Haq chipped in with a gritty half-century. India aced Pakistan in the bowl-out and were right on the money from the start by hitting the stumps in the first three attempts. On the other hand, Pakistan were not able to hit the stumps even once!ICC World Twenty20 final in Johannesburg, 2007Weeks after that humdinger, India and Pakistan met each other again in the final of the inaugural World T20. The Indian Premier League was still a few months away and it was this match that captured the imagination of the entire world.India won the toss and opted to bat at the Wanderers in front of packed stands. Gautam Gambhir and debutant Yusuf Pathan set the base with a good start. Pathan fell for 15 but Gambhir continued and went on to score 75. Rohit Sharma, batting down the order, contributed with a handy 30 to help India put up 157 on the board. Umar Gul was the pick of the bowlers for Pakistan, claiming three wickets.advertisement Pakistan coming out for the chase didn’t start well and were reeling at 76 for 5 in 11.3 overs. Again it was Misbah, who came to the rescue and hung in there to take Pakistan close to the finish-line along with Umar Gul. The match turned in Pakistan’s favour when Misbah thumped Harbhajan for three sixes and then Gul blasted a four-ball 12. Pakistan needed 13 off the last over. Dhoni made a gamble by throwing the ball to the inexperienced Joginder Sharma. The bowler started with a wide and the next ball was lofted over long-off for a six. Pakistan were on the brink of glory but Misbah erred in shot selection and played the scoop that landed straight in the hands of S Sreesanth, standing at short fine leg.India won the final match by 5 runs to lift the trophy!

Next Associated Press JohannesburgJune 2, 2019UPDATED: June 2, 2019 09:02 IST Neymar has been reportedly accused of rape, although his father says that it’s a set-up against his son (Photo: Reuters)HIGHLIGHTSBrazilian football star Neymar has been accused of raping a womanA complaint has been registered against Neymar, though no details haven’t been found yetNeymar’s father has denied any wrongdoing by the playerA Brazilian police document says an unidentified woman has accused soccer star Neymar of raping her in Paris last month. The player’s father calls the incident “a setup” against his son.The document obtained by The Associated Press on Saturday says the incident took place May 15 at 8:20 p.m. in a hotel. The woman went to police on Friday in Sao Paulo.Sao Paulo state’s Public Security Secretariat, which oversees police, confirmed in a statement that the complaint was registered, but did not offer details.Neymar’s representatives have not replied to a request for comment, but his father and agent Neymar da Silva Santos denied any wrongdoing by the player in a television interview.Santos said Neymar had consensual sexual relations with the accuser and was blackmailed by her lawyer after they broke up.”This is a tough moment. If we can’t show the truth quickly it will be a snowball. If we have to show Neymar’s WhatsApp messages and the conversations with this lady, we will,” Santos told TV Band.Neymar’s father said he has evidence that his son was blackmailed, including pictures and witnesses, but did not show either in the interview. He also said his son is already preparing his defense for a legal case if needed.The Paris police and the city’s prosecutors’ office said through spokesmen that they were unaware of any complaint.The woman says she and the Brazil star met in France after exchanging Instagram messages.She told police a representative of the Paris Saint-Germain player named Gallo allegedly bought her tickets to Paris and booked her a hotel room. She said Neymar arrived apparently drunk at the hotel.advertisementThe woman described to police that they “touched each other, but in a given moment Neymar became aggressive and, with violence, had sexual intercourse against the victim’s will.”The text also says the woman left Paris two days later and said she did not file her complaint in Paris because she was shaken.The police document says the woman will go through medical exams as part of an investigation.Neymar is in Brazil preparing for the Copa America starting next week. He arrived at the Granja Comary training ground outside Rio de Janeiro 10 days after the alleged incident.Brazil players had a day off Saturday. Neymar left the training ground with other teammates in his helicopter earlier in the day.On Sunday, an event named after the player is expected to take place in Rio, but his presence is not assured.The 27-year-old Brazilian has had problems on and off the pitch. One week before the accusation of rape became known, he lost Brazil’s national team’s captaincy for the Copa America to veteran Dani Alves. Coach Tite did not lay out the reasons for the move, but he was under pressure to punish Neymar for his disciplinary problems at Paris Saint-Germain.After PSG lost the French Cup final to tiny Rennes on April 27, Neymar had altercation with a fan and publicly criticized teammates he didn’t name for not listening to him enough.That was one of his first matches since January, when he once more picked up a fifth metatarsal injury in his right-foot. That was the same problem that affected his performances in the last World Cup, a tournament he prefers to forget because of an image disaster caused by his constant diving.Brazil’s fitness coaches say he will be in better shape once the South American tournament begins.This week Neymar skipped two Brazil training sessions in Copa America preparations because of pains in his left knee. Brazil’s soccer confederation said Friday he was fully recovered.Fan love for the player has also been stained because of politics after his showing of support to far-right Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, who has made a series of racist, misogynistic and anti-gay statements.As Neymar prepared for his return after the injury, Brazilian media reported his father had met Bolsonaro and Economy Minister Paulo Guedes to discuss the player’s tax problems, which didn’t help him with fans that will pressure him more than ever to win a Copa America on home soil later this month.Also Read | Champions League glory impossible without Klopp, says HendersonAlso Read | Champions League Final: Liverpool win 6th title after Salah, Origi heroicsAlso SeeFor sports news, updates, live scores and cricket fixtures, log on to indiatoday.in/sports.

Nova Scotia’s construction industry is digging into new technology to be more competitive with a $212,475 investment from the province. “Government is pleased to invest in the future of the construction industry, as it finds better ways of doing business,” said Lenore Zann, MLA for Truro-Bible Hill, on behalf of Marilyn More, Minister of Labour and Advanced Education. “The industry is embracing the idea that they need to adapt to compete and attract skilled workers, especially in a business that tends to rely more heavily on a younger demographic to do the work.” The funding supports the industry-led Functional Information Technology (FIT) Project. The Nova Scotia Construction Sector Council is leading the initiative, which explores how new technology can make information sharing easier. “This project is really about identifying innovative ways to manage information and human resources,” said council executive director Trent Soholt. “It is helping industry meet the growing demands for safety, productivity, quality and resource management, and we feel this is just the beginning.” On average, foremen and supervisors spend 30 per cent of their time on paperwork. By reducing the time it takes to relay information, through methods such as a virtual plan review, time accounting, material tracking, records management or safety information, more work can be done in areas such as coaching and mentoring workers. “As a company constantly looking for ways to improve our operations and service to our customers, this project allowed us to explore new technologies, test them on our job sites and determine if they can yield results,” said Chris Curtis with Atlantica Mechanical Contractors Inc. “It removed the guesswork and the risk for us when buying new technologies.” The $212,475 provincial funding for the FIT project comes from the labour market partnership and the strategic training and transition fund. The federal government is contributing $97,586 and the construction industry is investing $215,000. The next phase of FIT will train construction workers how to use the new technologies. The provincial investment is part of the jobsHere workforce strategy to help Nova Scotians adapt and thrive during changing needs in the workforce.

VANCOUVER – A British Columbia man awarded millions for wrongful imprisonment is now defending himself in a civil lawsuit, again denying he sexually assaulted five women.The women, identified only as Jane Doe No. 1 through No. 5, filed the lawsuit in B.C. Supreme Court in October, alleging Ivan Henry broke into their homes in the 1980s and sexually assaulted them.Their lawsuit says Henry caused them emotional suffering and psychological damage.Henry was convicted on 10 counts of sexual assault in 1983 and spent 27 years in prison before he was freed.The conviction was overturned in 2010, when a B.C. Appeal Court judge found flaws in both the trial and police investigation.In his response to the lawsuit, Henry says he did not commit the sexual assaults and denies the allegations made in the lawsuit.His response also says the women have failed to support the material facts in the lawsuit because they do not identify themselves.Henry asks the court to dismiss the case and require the women to pay special costs.His response, filed Nov. 10, says the costs are justified because the lawsuit alleges criminal acts and serious misconduct.Henry sued the government over his wrongful imprisonment and was awarded $8 million in damages from the province.Last month, the B.C. Court of Appeal ruled the province would not have to pay the full amount because Henry also settled out of court with the City of Vancouver and the federal government for $5.1 million.An appeal court panel determined that requiring the province to pay the entire $8 million settlement on top of the $5.1 million would have constituted double recovery for Henry.The women’s lawsuit asked that Henry be denied the money he was awarded for wrongful imprisonment, alleging he had been “unjustly enriched.” It also asked for a damage award.Henry denies the claims.“Further, the defendant was not unjustly enriched, did not ‘profit’ from the sexual assaults and did not commit them,” the response says.
STANDOFF, Alta. — Members of a southern Alberta First Nation have voted to accept a $150-million settlement from the federal government.The Blood Tribe filed a claim nearly two decades ago alleging that Canada had mismanaged their once lucrative cattle business in the early 1900s.Ottawa accepted the claim in 2011, negotiations began in 2013 and an agreement was reached late last year.Blood members needed to ratify the deal, and a news release says it has been approved by more than 98 per cent of those who voted this week.Each of the Blood Tribe’s more than 12,000 members are to receive $2,000.Settlement funds are also to go to capital projects such as a hotel and events centre, treatment centre, hockey rink and housing.“There’s something there to go towards everybody’s interests on the reserve,” council member Dorothy First Rider said in a YouTube video posted to the Blood Tribe’s website ahead of Monday’s vote.She recounted how the Blood Tribe purchased a cattle herd more than a century ago that eventually grew to 5,000 head.But Indian Affairs told the First Nation “we can better manage the cattle for you. We will take over the management of your cattle,” she said.First Rider said land was leased to non-Blood-Tribe members, there was overgrazing and many animals died over several bad winters.“Indian Affairs were not taking care of them properly.”First Rider said $150 million is the maximum amount a First Nation can receive from a specific claim.For the deal to pass, there had to be at least a 25 per cent turnout with a simple majority in favour. The Blood Tribe’s chief and council said late Tuesday that 40 per cent of eligible voters turned out and only 49 of 3,015 people voted against the deal.Voting was held on the reserve, more than 200 kilometres southeast of Calgary, and in the city. Transportation was provided for members in nearby Lethbridge as well.“The settlement of this claim is a reflection of Canada’s commitment to reconciliation and to Canada’s goal of addressing historical First Nations grievances that are the subject matter of specific claims,” the settlement agreement said.— By Lauren Krugel in CalgaryThe Canadian Press
CALGARY — Documents show that a Calgary house where there was a deadly explosion over the weekend was owned by a couple going through a divorce.Police responded to reports of an explosion on Saturday afternoon and found two people dead and one injured at the suburban northwest home.Investigators believe the blast was not accidental and called it domestic related.Police also say they not looking for any suspects.The land title for the house lists the owners as Heidar and Leila Dehdari and says they have lived there since 2013.Court records show Leila Dehdari filed for divorce last month from her husband of 27 years.The statement of claim for divorce and division of matrimonial property mentions two children from the marriage: 22-year-old Dorsa Dehdari and 15-year-old Dorna Dehdari.A female was taken to hospital in serious, potentially life-threatening condition with fire-related injuries. No additional victims were found after a thorough search of the home.Police have not released the names of those involved, but friends have told local media outlets that University of Calgary student Dorsa Dehdari died, along with her father, and that her younger sister was hurt.There was a vigil held for the family on Sunday night.The Canadian Press
By Kenneth Jackson and Keith LaboucanAPTN National NewsEdmonton – A startling revelation came out in an Edmonton courtroom Thursday when an 18-year-old First Nation girl said she had been raped five days earlier but when police were called she was the one who got arrested.On top of that, no rape kit was performed until three days later.It’s not immediately known where her alleged attackers are. The young woman can’t file a criminal complaint with police until she is released from custody.The bombshell was dropped in Youth Court when the young woman, who APTN National News is not naming as of now, said she’d been raped at a west end motel on Sunday. She was bloodied, bruised and had a front tooth knocked out in the attack according to both her lawyer and a youth court worker.She said she called her mom after the assault. Her mother called police who ran the girls name in their computer.They discovered she had an outstanding warrant for an arrest on an old outstanding breach as a minor. As part of her conditional discharge she was to write an apology letter and do 40 hours of community service.She never did for some reason so the police arrested her.They put her in jail.When contacted, the Edmonton police said they couldn’t comment.Mark Cherrington works in youth and family court as a youth worker. He said he was blown away by what he heard in court.“She’s just hysterical and in tears. She’s just been totally traumatized,” said Cherrington, describing the young woman in court.Cherrington said she told police she had been raped but officers are alleged to have said that she could file a complaint after being released.The remand centre was tripled-bunked so she ended up sleeping on the floor with two other women in a holding cell.No rape kit was performed Sunday. On Monday nothing was done.Finally, on Tuesday a rape kit was taken. She couldn’t bathe for three days for fear she’d wash away the evidence but also because prisoners in holding cells aren’t able to shower.“She understands she can’t have a shower or bath Monday (or Sunday) because she needs to get a rape kit. Tuesday comes along and they bring her for a rape kit which [was] way beyond the recommended time,” said Cherrington.Her lawyer is going to be filing a complaint with police.“This young woman told me that she had been sexually assaulted, did not have a rape kit done on her immediately, waited until Tuesday for the rape kit and, on top of that, five days she went without a shower,” said Parm Johal.Cherrington said the test came back positive she had been raped.Johal said her client was at the motel with her boyfriend and they got into an argument and he left. She was befriended by two men and woman who were staying there. They invited her in to their room and she alleges they attacked her. She alleges that both men sexually attacked her and the woman physically assaulted her.Johal said it wouldn’t be hard for police to track them down because they would have had to give identification to get the room.The young woman’s troubles don’t end there.She was kept in the remand centre Thursday and was supposed to be released Friday evening, said Cherrington.“I would go on the record that there are two levels of justice in this city. There’s Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal justice,” he said.More on that and this developing story Monday on APTN National News.kjackson@aptn.caklaboucan@aptn.ca

French defender Benjamin Pavard has faced off against countless big names in the Bundesliga and he’s now revealed the toughest of them allPavard has been playing in Germany for the last two years after completing a move to VfB Stuttgart from Lille and has recently been linked with a switch to Bayern Munich.The Bavarians’ main striker Robert Lewandowski has been in sensational form this season with 21 goals in 21 games – more than even Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.The Pole’s finished as the Bundesliga’s top scorer for three of the last five seasons.But it’s Schalke 04 hitman Franco Di Santo who gets Pavard’s vote as the most challenging striker to deal with in Germany, despite not having found the net once this term.
Merson believes Arsenal should sign Sancho Manuel R. Medina – September 14, 2019 Borussia Dortmund winger Jadon Sancho might be the perfect player to play for the Gunners, according to former England international Paul Merson.“Franco di Santo is exceptionally hard to keep in check. He’s always on the move and is unpredictable,” Pavard told the Bundesliga website.“There’s also Lewandowski, who is a complete player and is always so dangerous.”Pavard made a name for himself at the 2018 World Cup in the summer, where his impressive displays helped France on their way to a second world title.Although, right now, the 22-year-old is out with a thigh injury ahead of Stuttgart’s league match against Hertha Berlin today.

It will continue for the next six days, along with warmer temperatures, Nelson said.“We’ll have rain pretty much through New Year’s Day, with short dry periods in between,” Nelson said.About an inch of rain is expected to fall during the course of the seven days, he said. Temperatures are anticipated to climb to the lower 40s at night and daytime highs will be in the mid- to high 40s, he said.“We are finally getting into our winter weather pattern,” he said.Tuesday has a 100 percent chance of rain, a projected low of 44 degrees and high of 45 degrees, according to the weather service.A ridge of high pressure in the skies above the region has pushed wet weather to the north and south during the month. That high pressure has now moved to the east, enabling rainy systems to migrate in, Nelson said.Despite the rainy conclusion to 2011, December could still attain the distinction of the driest on record in the Portland metro area, Nelson said.“We’ll have to wait and see,” he said.As of early Monday, Vancouver’s Pearson Field has had a third of an inch of rain this month, 5.16 inches less than the December average, he said. The average rainfall for December is 5.46 inches.

IBM’s Watson does some pretty important work. Now, in addition to making life-saving medical diagnoses and helping California conserve water, Watson is going to help GM advertise stuff to you while you drive.Not exactly the most noble of pursuits, but IBM has never wanted to place limits on Watson. Quite the contrary, in fact. They’re always looking for new applications that can put their groundbreaking AI to good use. And yes, there are people out there who think that advertising in your car is a good use. GM executives, for example.It’s called OnStar Go and it’s pitched as a convenience for drivers. Here’s how it will work. Say you typically stop and grab a cup of coffee on your way to work, but you’re running a little behind and your usual route is clogged with traffic. Not only will OnStar suggest an alternate route, but Watson could chime in with a suitable stand-in for your morning java.Low on gas? Your GM vehicle lets Watson know, and Watson responds by automatically popping up an alert and directing you to a nearby gas station. I’m not sure that I want to see ads on my dashboard yet, but this is one scenario where I don’t think I’d be bothered — especially if I happened to be driving somewhere unfamiliar, which, presumably my car and Watson would also know.As long as GM keeps these “suggestions” fairly tame, OnStar Go seems innocuous enough. It does seem, however, like they’re paving the way for our cars to bombard us with with targeted location-based ads once they go autonomous… but we all knew that was inevitable, didn’t we?
(Phys.org) —Mercedes-Benz is to show off its electric car at the New York International Auto Show, open to the public from March 29 to April 7 at the Jacob Javits Center. Mercedes-Benz calls its vehicle the B-Class Electric Drive. This is an all-electric five-seater to be available for sale in the U.S. next year. What was MB thinking in coming up with such an unfortunate title for such a good-looking vehicle? Naming it B-Class Electric Drive, while indicating it is one of MB’s smaller designs, in a larger context may be confused with a general perception of the letter B as signifying mediocrity, which is not the case with this vehicle. The car maker is positioning it as “the first luxury battery electric car from Mercedes-Benz in the market,” one that will give its drivers “electric driving at the premium level.” The B-Class Electric Drive is actually based on the B-Class car introduced in 2011, but this time around with special features, from instrumentation to total design. The power display is of note; when power is being consumed, a pointer rises in a clockwise direction from a green to red area, and drops back below the zero line when the vehicle is feeding recuperative energy back into the battery.

Geely McCar: Electric vehicle and scooter in one Three large, round air vents are “sporty” features, according to the company, and above those vents is a display screen. The car’s connectivity features include an embedded data connection that allows owners to check battery and charge status via their computer or smartphone.According to the publicity release, the maximum speed is electronically limited to 100 mph (160 km/h) in the interests of operating range. Depending on the driving cycle, the range is around 115 miles (200 km). For a sprint from 0 to 60 mph, the electric car requires less than ten seconds. A lithium ion battery is placed in the vehicle’s underfloor, for crash protection. The B-Class Electric Drive can be recharged via standard household power sockets. The charging time for a range of about 60 miles (100 km) is less than two hours at 240 V/40 A.Wired estimated the B-Class will cost in the mid-$30,000 range, but the actual selling price is not yet known. The new B-Class Electric Drive will be available initially in the US from early 2014, and will be launched in European markets after that.

Court Says Idaho Must Provide Gender Confirmation Surgery… Heath Druzin by NPR News Amanda Peacher, James Dawson 8.24.19 1:48am Updated at 4:34 p.m. ET Editor’s note: This story includes accounts of self-harm.The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled that the state of Idaho must provide gender confirmation surgery to inmate Adree Edmo.The panel of judges agreed with U.S. District Judge B. Lynn Winmill’s ruling in Edmo’s favor last December, writing that his findings were “logical and well-supported” and that “responsible prison officials were deliberately indifferent to Edmo’s gender dysphoria, in violation of the Eighth Amendment.”That means Edmo could be the first transgender inmate in the nation to receive sex reassignment surgery through a court order.Edmo is serving a 10-year prison sentence for sexually abusing a 15-year-old boy when she was 22. She is scheduled for release in 2021 and is not eligible for parole. Per Idaho Department of Correction policy, she will be transferred to a state women’s prison following the surgery.Idaho has 90 days to appeal the ruling to the Supreme Court. In a statement, Gov. Brad Little wrote, “We cannot divert critical public dollars away from the higher priorities of keeping the public safe and rehabilitating offenders.””The hardworking taxpayers of Idaho should not be forced to pay for a convicted sex offender’s gender reassignment surgery when it is contrary to the medical opinions of the treating physician and multiple mental health professionals,” he wrote.But the 85-page opinion from the 9th Circuit repeatedly rejected those opinions from Edmo’s health care providers.”It is enough that [her doctor] knew of and disregarded an excessive risk to Edmo’s health by rejecting her request for [gender confirmation surgery] and then never re-evaluating his decision despite ongoing harm to Edmo,” the judges wrote.Despite two other physicians agreeing with the original treatment plan, the ruling found that “general agreement in a medically unacceptable form of treatment does not somehow make it reasonable.”Edmo’s lead attorney, Lori Rifkin, called the news of the appeal “unfortunate” and “reprehensible.” “She suffers every single day while they have denied this treatment to her for years and there can be no reason justifying Idaho’s continued refusal to provide her care except bias,” Rifkin said. Edmo is diagnosed with gender dysphoria, which can cause a person severe distress stemming from being born in a body that does not match their gender identity.Treatments for gender dysphoria can vary. Some people experience relief by changing their appearance through clothing or receiving hormone treatments. Others require more medically intensive transition-related care, such as mastectomies or gender confirmation surgery.”[P]rison authorities have not provided that treatment despite full knowledge of Edmo’s ongoing and extreme suffering and medical needs,” the judges wrote in their decision Friday.Edmo has twice attempted self-castration while in prison to try to alleviate her symptoms of gender dysphoria and more closely conform her physical body to her gender identity.The ruling doesn’t mean that the Idaho Department of Correction will now have to provide gender confirmation surgery to all transgender inmates. Rather, it sets a standard for providing the surgery to certain inmates who experience severe gender dysphoria and for whom the surgery is deemed medically necessary.Winmill ruled in Edmo’s favor in December 2018 and ordered the prison to provide the surgery. Now that the 9th Circuit has agreed, the state and Corizon, Idaho’s contracted health care provider for prisons, will have to move forward with arranging for the procedure, which can cost between $20,000 and $30,000.This issue could be timely for the Supreme Court. In two similar cases in the 5th and the 1st Circuit courts of appeals, judges ruled against inmates requesting gender confirmation surgery. With this decision, there is now a split in the circuit courts. That could make it more likely that justices would consider the case.The 9th Circuit Friday explicitly rejected the 5th Circuit’s opinion, which found that denying an inmate gender confirmation surgery could not violate the Eighth Amendment.The ruling found that the 5th Circuit’s decision “Relies on an incorrect, or at best outdated, premise: that ‘[t]here is no medical consensus that [gender confirmation surgery] is a necessary or even effective treatment for gender dysphoria.’ “Amanda Peacher is a reporter for the Mountain West News Bureau.

If you followed the instructions and still can’t get your new Bluetooth device to connect to your Windows laptop, then there might be a bigger issue at hand. The latest June 11, 2019 update for Windows 10 intentionally prevents some Bluetooth devices from connecting to a PC. Microsoft warned about the issue in a security statement on its support site, “You may experience issues pairing, connecting or using certain Bluetooth devices after installing security updates released June 11, 2019. These security updates address a security vulnerability by intentionally preventing connections from Windows to unsecure Bluetooth devices.”MacBook Air vs MacBook Pro: Which 13-inch MacBook Is Right For You?Apple’s entry-level MacBook Air and Pro look pretty similar, but our testing proved they differ in crucial ways.Your Recommended PlaylistVolume 0%Press shift question mark to access a list of keyboard shortcutsKeyboard Shortcutsplay/pauseincrease volumedecrease volumeseek forwardsseek backwardstoggle captionstoggle fullscreenmute/unmuteseek to %SPACE↑↓→←cfm0-9接下来播放Which Cheap Tablet Is Best?

The only solution Microsoft offered for those experiencing connectivity issues after installing the latest version of Windows is to contact the manufacturer of their Bluetooth device and see if a patch exists. If it doesn’t, you might be best off buying a more secure Bluetooth device altogether.To determine if your Bluetooth device is affected, access the Event Log and look for the error message, “Your Bluetooth device attempted to establish a debug connection. The Windows Bluetooth stack does not allow debug connection while it is not in the debug mode.” Microsoft says that any device using “well-known keys” for encryption could be affected, including security fobs. This vulnerability appears to have first been discovered on Android device, and patched by Google earlier this month. Microsoft has recently fallen into an unfortunate pattern of releasing updates that do more harm than good. In this case, the software giant is getting out in front of a potential security vulnerability so you can keep your PC protected, even if that means throwing your Bluetooth devices in the trash.
