Primarul din Mioveni, Ion Georgescu, a spus astăzi într-o conferinţă de presă a PSD Argeş că lucrările de construire a noului spital orăşenesc din Mioveni decurg conform planurilor de până acum, iar pe 20 septembrie se vor muta aici şi secţiile de la spitalul "Sf. Spiridon". Pentru finalizarea lucrărilor şi pentru investiţii este nevoie de 20 milioane de euro, bani pe care primarul a spus că administraţia locală i-ar putea accesa printr-un credit dacă nu va primi până în mai un răspuns favorabil din partea Ministerului Sănătăţii către care a făcut mai multe solicitări de finanţare pe diverse programe. În ceea ce priveşte angajările, Ion Georgescu a precizat că nu primăria se ocupă de acestea, ci Ministerul Sănătăţii. Cei interesaţi trebuie să urmărească ediţiile din iulie şi august ale revistei "Sănătatea" în care vor fi publicate anunţurile de angajare. - ( 05.04.2019 ) ION GEORGESCU, VEŞTI DESPRE NOUL SPITAL DIN MIOVENI | MIOVENI

Licence to krill: why the US Navy trains whales, dolphins and sea lions
The US Navy has trained dolphins and sea lions since the Vietnam war – ‘technology is no match for the animals’ for certain missions
A beluga whale was found off the coast of Norway last week and is believed to be trained by the Russian navy. But it’s not the ocean’s only soldier with fins.
The US Navy has trained dolphins and sea lions since the Vietnam war, as part of its marine mammal program. While it’s unclear what exactly the Russian beluga whale was trained to do, America’s naval animals – specifically about 70 bottlenose dolphins and 30 California sea lions at a naval base in San Diego, California – search for objects and patrol restricted waters.

'I am proud to be a gay son of God': student at Mormon college comes out in speech
Matt Easton says being gay is ‘who the Lord has made me’ in commencement speech at Utah’s Brigham Young University
Four minutes into valedictorian Matt Easton’s speech last week at Brigham Young University’s graduation, he made an unusually candid declaration for a commencement address – especially one at a Mormon school. He came out as gay.
“I stand before my family, friends and graduating class today to say that I am proud to be a gay son of God,” Easton said.

Boyish but radical, Jordan Bardella is the protege Marine Le Pen was waiting for | Britta Sandberg
National Rally’s staunchly anti-immigrant 23-year-old is aiming for younger voters – and a seat at the European parliament
The task was simple and at the same time a bit silly: in a recent French TV debate, each of the 12 leading candidates for next month’s European parliament elections was asked to bring an object that symbolised Europe for them. The conservative candidate with the Les Républicains party brought a copy of Homer’s Odyssey; the leftist politician Raphaël Glucksmann brought a piece of the Berlin wall.
Jordan Bardella, the lead candidate for Marine Le Pen’s rightwing populist National Rally, held up a red kitchen sieve to the camera. He was quite earnest as he did so, and it made for a rather absurd contrast: a young man in a suit, with his boyish face and slicked-back hair making him look not unlike a bank trainee, clutching a kitchen utensil.

Dream weavers: the indigenous Ainu people of Japan – in pictures
The Ainu of Hokkaido in Japan were not officially recognised as an indigenous people until 2008. This recognition came after a long history of exclusion and assimilation that almost erased their society, language and culture. Photographer Laura Liverani collaborated with members of the Ainu for this exhibition called Coexistences: Portraits of Today’s Japan, showing at the The Japan Foundation, Sydney until 21 June.

Accused of cheating: another immigration scandal? – podcast
Amelia Gentleman discusses the immigration scandal in which the Home Office has accused 34,000 international students of cheating in English language tests. And: Magid Magid, the 29-year old lord mayor of Sheffield, who is stepping down to run as a Green MEP
In 2014, a BBC documentary drew attention to fraud in the UK’s international student visa system, including cheating in English language tests at two centres. The Home Office concluded that around 34,000 of the 58,458 students who had taken the test between 2011 and 2014 had cheated.
A government watchdog has launched an investigation into the Home Office’s decision to cancel or curtail the visas of those it accuses of cheating, as well as removing more than 1,000 people from the UK. MPs are warning the scandal could be “bigger than Windrush”.

Jared Harris: My wife can't believe how I keep getting bumped off!
From Mad Men to The Crown, the actor is used to big exits. As new disaster drama Chernobyl launches, he talks about cover-ups, climate change shame – and his hellraising dad Richard
Jared Harris says that if only he had played Lane Pryce as he was meant to, he would have probably lasted the duration of Mad Men. Pryce, the financial executive at the TV drama’s advertising agency, was supposed to be a right bastard – and the show’s creator Matthew Weiner famously said baddies don’t get written out. But Harris doesn’t do bastards. He will always find a way to humanise a character – a sprinkling of vulnerability here, a dash of tenderness there. And sure enough, three seasons down the line, Lane hanged himself.
Harris is getting used to being bumped off. His quietly dignified George VI in The Crown was inevitably done for by a coronary thrombosis. In his latest TV drama, Chernobyl, Harris’s investigative scientist has died before the opening sequence is done and dusted. (Don’t worry, he’s still the lead.)

Venezuela crisis: Maduro claims victory over 'deranged' coup attempt
President blames Trump imperialists and ‘coup-mongering far right’ as rival Juan Guaidó calls for more protests
Nicolás Maduro claimed his troops have thwarted a botched attempt to topple him masterminded by Venezuela’s “coup-mongering far right” and Donald Trump’s deranged imperialist “gang”.
In an hour-long address to the nation on Tuesday night – his first since the pre-dawn uprising began – Maduro accused opposition leader Juan Guaidó and his political mentor Leopoldo López of seeking to spark an armed confrontation that might be used as a pretext for a foreign military intervention.

Mind the green gap: access to nature shouldn't be a luxury | Arwa Mahdawi
Living in New York means getting used to seeing the city’s population of mutant squirrels. No wonder I need to escape
One of my favourite things to do in New York is to go on long nature walks around the city. Sometimes I see a baby rat frolicking among the trash cans; sometimes I see a pigeon; sometimes I see a rat eating a pigeon. It’s rodent tooth v feral claw in the urban jungle.
Manhattan isn’t just richly populated with belligerent rats and pigeons. If you are lucky, you can also spot a mutant squirrel on your rambles. Thanks to massive inbreeding, New York is home to soot-black squirrels, which have a genetic condition called melanism. Inbreeding has also caused a group of brownish-orange squirrels to proliferate. “For squirrels, cinnamon is now the new black,” the New York Times proclaimed in 2001. OK, that’s enough squirrel facts. My point here is that while Manhattan is full of natural delights, they are of a limited variety. I love living in the city, but being surrounded by so much concrete and so many squirrels can occasionally drive me up the wall. I need to regularly escape into the countryside and see some trees for the sake of my mental health. And I am obviously far from the only person to feel like this. Humans were not built to live in densely populated cities, breathing in car fumes as we shuffle from one indoor place to another. The emergence of trends such as “forest bathing” shows that many of us are desperate for more trees in our lives.

‘All brands need to change’: why small labels lead the charge of sustainable fashion
Constantly shifting trends and the rise of fast fashion have taken a serious toll on the environment. Can a new generation of smaller, ecofriendly producers push the big brands to change?
Global textile production is notoriously emissions-intensive. It contributes more to climate change than all international flights and maritime shipping combined [pdf]. And fashion, with its emphasis on new trends and seasons, is wasteful by design.
However, the environmental damage wrought by the industry has been supercharged in our era of fast fashion, with its rapidly changing new collections, low prices and overloaded wardrobes – all of which have encouraged consumers to adopt a more throwaway attitude to clothing.

NBA playoffs: Jokic leads Nuggets over Blazers as 76ers strike back against Raptors
- Denver take series opener against Portland 121-113
- Philadelphia level series with Toronto at 1-1
Nikola Jokic scored 37 points and the Denver Nuggets withstood Damian Lillard’s 39-point game in a 121-113 win over the Trail Blazers in the opener of their second-round playoff series on Monday night.
Lillard, who struck for 50 points, including a 37-footer at the buzzer to oust Oklahoma City in five games in the previous round, missed eight of 12 three-point attempts and Gary Harris blocked his three from behind in the closing minute to keep the Trail Blazers from closing in. Jamal Murray added 23 points for Denver, who were making their first appearance in the second round in a decade, and Paul Millsap scored 19.

Feminism, Marrakech and Diana Ross: the second coming of Dior
Cultural appropriation is a touchpaper issue in the fashion industry, but the house’s bombastically showbiz event in Morocco also highlighted local cultures
The name of Marrakech’s most beautiful ruin, the El Badi palace, means “the incomparable”. Built in the Moroccan city by the 16th century sultan Ahmad al-Mansur, the majestic ramparts long ago crumbled to a dusty pink pie crust around a 90-metre stretch of glass-still water bisecting the vast courtyard. Paths are traced over sunken gardens, so that the oranges grow level with your feet as you walk.
“The incomparable” is an appropriate name, too, for Common Ground, the fashion show held there on Monday by Christian Dior. Taking place at dusk, lit by candles floating in the water, stone benches plumped with cushions especially embroidered by a local collective of female weavers, it was a jawdroppingly ambitious event, even by the standards of the ever-showboating luxury industry. As well as being bombastically showbiz – the aftershow entertainment was Diana Ross – this was also, as Dior’s creative director Maria Grazia Chiuri put it the day before, “an intellectual reflection on fashion”, which addressed the industry’s red-button issue of cultural appropriation.

Rumour-mongers in Binalonan face £3 fines and three hours litter-picking if they indulge in local tittle-tattle
When the lethargic heat of summer set in, the residents of Binalonan, a small town in the Philippines, used togather under the trees and share stories about their neighbours, swapping titbits about rumoured scandals, affairs, bankruptcies and divorces.
But no longer. In local law imposed on the town, which is north of the capital Manila, such gossip, or “chismis’” as it is known in the Philippines, is now illegal.

The Hepburn judgment signals a shift in cultural attitude to rape. It's sorely needed | Van Badham
Alex Hepburn has been punished and that is good. Woman hating foments in ungoverned places
Alex Hepburn’s blue eyes are pale under a dark, straight brow. In the news photos, his gaze resembles the male model aesthetic of an Armani or Ralph Lauren campaign, and the juxtaposition of his youth in an older man’s suit does, too. Maybe Hepburn styled himself that way. In his own words, the 23-year-old was one of a “pair of tens”, and entitled to be “banging models”. He is a rapist.
Hepburn has just been sentenced to five years jail by a British court. Two years ago, the former cricketer raped a woman who he found sleeping in his British teammate’s bed. After consensual sex with the woman, his teammate Joe Clarke had gone into his bathroom and drunkenly passed out. Then Hepburn entered the room. The dozing woman believed the man who began performing sex acts upon her was Clarke, until Hepburn spoke with an Australian accent. She left the flat, and was found “distressed and sobbing” by a stranger in the street.

Artemisia Gentileschi’s great work is more at home in a GP’s surgery than a gallery | Jonathan Jones
The National Gallery is restoring the link between art and real life by sending Artemisia Gentileschi’s Self Portrait on tour
Artemisia Gentileschi rips through the barriers between art and life. This 17th-century artist is not so much an Old Mistress as our confessional contemporary. Influenced by Caravaggio, who she met when she was a child, she painted images that draw on her own struggles. Born in Rome in 1593 the daughter of an artist, she was raped at 19 by the man her father hired to teach her to paint. Her art refers to this experience and the resulting trial, at which she was tortured and humiliated, and from which her rapist walked free. In her Self Portrait as Saint Catherine of Alexandria, she shows herself as a torture survivor posing by the spiked wheel that was supposed to kill her.

The Guardian view on May’s elections: resolve Brexit, defend democracy | Editorial
Mainstream politicians will only find a way out of current mess by reconnecting with the public. They are failing to do so
The outcome of the 2016 referendum on the United Kingdom’s membership of the European Union remains provisional. Brexit is coming about not because government or MPs want it but because the people chose it and are said still to want it. What they chose and what they are now offered is less clear than ever. May’s local council, mayoral and European elections offer a window for politicians to re-engage the population about Brexit, listening to their concerns and priorities.
Depressingly, neither the governing party nor the official opposition has grasped the opportunity. Brexit was supposed to force Westminster to venture out of its bubble and rediscover the rest of the country. Yet the political class is more navel-gazing than ever. This is bad for democracy on many levels. Mainstream politicians have to hear what people are saying; they need to test – and if necessary reshape – their arguments; they must balance the people’s wishes with the security of the nation. Instead, the Labour party is split over Brexit and has its work cut out covering the ever-widening cracks in its fragile coalition. The Conservatives’ poll numbers are in freefall; they have resigned themselves to devastating losses in the local elections and are running scared at the thought of European elections. So low are expectations for the Liberal Democrats that the party’s leader announced his departure before the vote.

The Washington Post, the New York Times and NBC reported on Tuesday that Mueller penned the letter in late March, after Barr wrote a four-page summary of the special counsel’s work that largely cleared Trump on potential obstruction of justice.

Grounds for hope: how coffee gets recycled as fuel
It is estimated that the UK produces about half a million tonnes of coffee waste a year. One London-based company is turning that into biofuels
We all know that drinking a cup of coffee can give you an energy boost. But the transformation of coffee into an actual source of energy – as fuel for wood burners, stoves and even as a biodiesel – involved lateral rather than literal thinking.
In 2012, Arthur Kay was a student at UCL tasked with designing a coffee shop as part of his architecture course. When thinking about the sheer volume of waste that his building would generate, he tried to reframe the used coffee grounds as a resource rather than a waste product. Used coffee grounds typically end up in landfill, where they emit methane, a powerful greenhouse gas.

On the frontline in the fight for LGBT rights
Ruth Hunt joined Stonewall 14 years ago, quickly rising to become the charity’s chief executive. In that time she has seen huge strides made towards equality for LGBT people. As she prepares to step down in August, she reflects on how much further there is to go. And: the author Nicci Gerrard on her campaign for the rights of people with dementia in hospitals
The charity Stonewall, named after the 1969 Stonewall riots in New York, has been fighting for lesbian, gay and bisexual rights since 1989. Ruth Hunt, its chief executive, is stepping down in August. As she prepares to leave the role, Hunt talks to Anushka Asthana about her experience growing up as a gay woman in Britain during the 80s and 90s, and how much more work still needs to be done to gain equality.
She also discusses why it was a mistake for Stonewall to only have taken on transgender rights in 2015, and why she wishes others would recognise that trans rights are human rights.

Unrest in Caracas - in pictures
The Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaidó took to the streets with activist Leopoldo López and a small contingent of heavily armed soldiers early on Tuesday in a call for the military to rise up and oust the socialist leader, Nicolás Maduro. Events started when Guaidó appeared in an early morning video surrounded by heavily armed soldiers backed by armoured vehicles. Guaidó said soldiers who had taken to the streets were protecting Venezuela’s constitution. Information minister Jorge Rodríguez said on Twitter that Maduro’s government was confronting a small ‘coup attempt’ led by military ‘traitors’ backed by rightwing opponents

Donny van de Beek presses pause before delivering telling blow for Ajax | Barney Ronay
The Dutch academy product made all the difference early on when Tottenham did not know what was coming at them
With 15 minutes gone at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium there was a moment where the air seemed to disappear out of the ground, sucked up past the roofline into that gentle powder blue.
Ajax had just produced a startlingly smooth piece of football, midfield and attack functioning like limbs joined to the same shared brain. Hakim Ziyech provided the ignition with a lovely flighted pass out to David Neres on the left. Another slick cross-field pass from Lasse Schöne took it back to Ziyech.

How worried should we be about Huawei? – podcast
Theresa May has turned to her national security council to help her decide on whether to allow the Chinese firm Huawei to provide parts of Britain’s 5G network. Guardian reporters Rupert Neate, Alex Hern and Tania Branigan discuss the company at the heart of a diplomatic tussle. Plus, in opinion, David Kogan argues Labour needs clarity on Brexit to have a chance of winning power
When the government’s decision to allow Huawei to build parts of Britain’s 5G network leaked from Theresa May’s national security council it set off a furious backlash. Not just that secret cabinet discussions had been revealed, but Britain also found itself in a diplomatic tug of war between the US and China.
The US argues the Chinese tech firm is a potential security threat if it has access to critical infrastructure such as 5G networks. Huawei has said the US is creating a smokescreen for protectionism.

Japan's emperor Akihito abdicates with message of love
Prime minister Abe says royal couple ‘shared in joys and sorrows’ of Japanese people
Emperor Akihito has thanked the people of Japan for their support during his 30-year reign and said he hopes his successor’s time on the chrysanthemum throne will be “stable and fruitful”, as he becomes the country’s first monarch to abdicate in two centuries.
Speaking at a brief ceremony in the state room of the imperial palace a day before his eldest son, Naruhito, ascends the throne, the 85-year-old said he was praying for peace and happiness for the people of Japan.

Busting the myth that depression doesn't affect people in poor countries
For decades, many psychiatrists believed depression was a uniquely western phenomenon. But in the last few years, a new movement has turned this thinking on its head. By Tina Rosenberg
When Vikram Patel first began to study mental health, he believed depression only existed in rich nations. But today, he is the single most influential figure in the growing global movement to treat mental illness in poor countries, especially the most common disorder, depression.
In 1993, Patel, who was born in Mumbai, finished his training as a psychiatrist in London and moved with his wife to Harare, the capital of Zimbabwe, to begin a two-year research fellowship at the national university. His purpose was to find evidence for the view, then widespread among psychiatrists, that what looked like depression in poor countries was actually a response to deprivation and injustice – conditions stemming from colonisation. The remedy in such cases, he believed, was not psychotherapy, but social justice.

Goodbye, Jakarta? Indonesia's president suggests new capital
Idea of unhitching country’s administrative centre from its megacity has a long history – but experts are sceptical
Not only is the megacity of Jakarta besieged by a confluence of modern ills – including pollution, overpopulation and soul-destroying traffic – it is also one of the fastest-sinking capitals in the world.
So when Indonesia’s president, Joko Widodo, known as Jokowi, this week suggested making somewhere else the capital, it did not come as a shock. Indeed, the idea of relocating the country’s administrative centre is almost as old as the republic itself – it was floated by Indonesia’s first president, Sukarno, in 1957 and has been brought up again by several presidents since.

A weekend in Mexico? Why the rise of long-haul short trips is so disastrous
More people are jetting off to far-flung destinations for so-called ‘bite-size breaks’. But at what cost to the environment?
As someone who once took a work-related day trip to San Francisco it is a little hypocritical of me to criticise others for taking long-haul flights for vanishingly brief holidays. But for all sorts of reasons it really is a terrible idea.
The trend has been highlighted in Thomas Cook’s Holiday Report 2019, released this week, which notes “an increasing number of trips for less than seven days to long-haul destinations, with Mexico, San Francisco and other cities in the States rocketing in popularity.”

Barack and Michelle Obama have revealed their first slate of content at Netflix.
The former first couple signed a deal with the streaming platform in 2018 to produce a string of shows and films under their production company Higher Ground. “Touching on issues of race and class, democracy and civil rights, and much more, we believe each of these productions won’t just entertain, but will educate, connect, and inspire us all,” Barack Obama said.

The only way is up: the UK business climbing the vertical farming revolution
New technology could significantly transform the way our food is produced, and Bristol-based startup LettUs Grow is leading the way when it comes to developing it for wide-scale use
According to the UN, we will need almost three planets’ worth of natural resources if we are to maintain current lifestyles for a human population that is expected to swell to 9.8 billion people by 2050.
Scientists, farmers, institutions and businesses both big and small have been responding to this emergency by trying to revolutionise agricultural practices – one of the most resource-intensive sectors of the global economy. Their priorities include systems for more predictable crops, less waste, more intense indoor farming methods that have a lower impact on the environment, and relocating agriculture closer to urban populations in order to minimise food miles.

Why does female armpit hair provoke such outrage and disgust?
Hairy armpits are in fashion – but a Nike ad featuring a model with a small amount of visible hair attracted thousands of critical comments
Julia Roberts: America’s sweetheart, Hollywood royalty – and an early pioneer of armpit-hair acceptance. Her look at the 1999 premiere of Notting Hill, beaming in a red sequined Vivienne Tam dress, arm raised to reveal a dark tuft, was immediately celebrated as a subversive feminist bird-flip against female beauty standards. Except it wasn’t: 20 years later, she confessed that the look hadn’t been a statement at all, rather that she had forgotten to shave and miscalculated the sleeve length of the dress.
Armpit hair remains a bizarre sticking point for anti-feminists. A few days ago, Nike uploaded a picture on Instagram showing the model and musician Annahstasia Enuke with a small amount of underarm hair visible; in response, thousands of commenters expressed outrage and disgust. Just a day later, the deodorant brand Nuud responded to a backlash against its own online advert that had featured underarm hair. The cynic in me has no doubt that the engagement all the hate-clicks and outrage drum up on social media is the main driver for brands’ recent love affair with body hair (two years ago Adidas featured a model with hairy legs to much ire and press reaction). But it is also an important reminder of just how upset people become when women are not scraping and cutting off bits of themselves in order to be pleasing to the public’s eye. The amount of vitriol, anger and hate that can be garnered by something that does not affect anyone apart from the individual woman is incredible – even more so when you compare it with the non-reaction to men doing the exact same thing.

Teen suicides rose after Netflix's 13 Reasons Why aired, US study shows
New study found 28.9% increase in suicides among Americans aged 10-17 in month after release of the controversial teen drama
A new study has found that suicide among teenagers rose by 28.9% in the month after Netflix launched 13 Reasons Why.
The report, published in the Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, found that the number of suicides among Americans aged 10-17 in April 2017 was greater than any other month over the five-year period examined. Overall, there were 195 more suicides than expected in the nine months after the show premiered, based on historical and seasonal trends.

The startups paving the way for a world without plastics
With oceans becoming clogged by plastics, the need for ecofriendly alternative materials is more urgent than ever – and these startups are at the forefront of their development
It is easy to forget that plastic was once considered something of a miracle material. It can hold your shopping, protect your food and line your bin. But its benefits have been eclipsed by its dark side, with around 8m tonnes of the stuff ending up in the sea each year, some of which joins the Great Pacific garbage patch – a shameful, swirling mass of mostly plastic waste roughly four times the size of California, which is growing exponentially according to one recent study.
But its versatility does highlight how our efforts to end our dependence on plastic will require more than just reducing our consumption of single-use plastic packaging. We also need affordable, biodegradable alternatives to things such as clingfilm, styrofoam and other everyday items.

Global youth movements: tell us about your grassroots campaigns
We want to hear about movements and campaigns led by young people from around the world
The past year has seen two of the most powerful youth protest movements in decades. When 16-year-old Greta Thunberg started a school strike calling for climate action, she sparked a global campaign – now more than 1.4 million schoolchildren have taken part in strikes.
Last March, young people in the US rallied together in March for Our Lives after the school shooting in Parkland, Florida, making it one of the biggest youth protests in the country’s history.

The new nerds: how Avengers and Game of Thrones made everyone geek out
Fans have followed – and pored over – the incredibly long, detailed and complicated narratives of the Marvel Universe and the Westeros saga for a decade. Will we ever scale such heights of geekdom again?
In our speeded-up world, last weekend could be considered uneventful, but in one respect it will go down in human history. This was Peak-Geek Weekend – a moment of unprecedented, unrepeatable pop-cultural excitement – that was global in scale. Never, in the field of human geekdom, has so much geeking out been done by so many, over the long-awaited climaxes of two of the most supremely geeky properties ever made.
At the cinema, Avengers: Endgame set itself up to become the biggest film of all time, smashing box-office records like Hulk with a headache. It took more than $1.2bn (£920m) in its first five days: the biggest movie opening in history by some margin, and the fastest any movie has ever passed the $1bn mark. Meanwhile, The Long Night, episode three of season eight of Game of Thrones, took small-screen TV to movie-theatre dimensions: the most expensive single episode ever filmed, of one of the most watched, streamed and pirated series ever.

Mohamed Noor trial: US police officer found guilty of third-degree murder of Justine Damond
Jury in trial of Minneapolis police officer took less than one day to reach their verdict over the shooting death of Justine Ruszczyk Damond
The former Minneapolis police officer Mohamed Noor has been found guilty of third-degree murder for the shooting death of the Australian life coach Justine Ruszczyk Damond, who approached his squad car minutes after calling 911 to report a possible rape behind her home.
Mohamed Noor was convicted of third-degree murder as well as manslaughter for the July 2017 death Damond, a 40-year-old dual citizen of the US and Australia. He wasn’t convicted of the most serious charge of intentional second-degree murder.

Anonymous comes to town: the hackers who took on high school sexual assault in Ohio – documentary
The sleepy rustbelt town of Steubenville, Ohio, was once best known for high school sports and as the birthplace of Dean Martin. But when a teen sexual assault committed by two members of the football team surfaced, the shadowy hacker group Anonymous caught wind of the story and decided to intervene. After publishing videos and social media from the night of the assault to their millions of online followers, they sparked viral outrage and demands for #JusticeforJaneDoe. They unleashed a passionate mob and their actions divided the small town, but in the process gave strength to generations of women forced to hide abuse. This film asks, when it seems like nothing will change, when is it OK for outsiders to intervene?

Will the UK commitment to development become another casualty of Brexit? | Preet Kaur Gill
Uncertainty and the falling pound are jeopardising aid that millions of people worldwide rely on, says the shadow development minister
Since the 2016 referendum we have all learned a lot more about the depth of the relationship between the UK and the EU; whether it’s joint cooperation on research, or the potential impact of leaving the EU on agriculture exports.
When considering the effects of Brexit, parliamentarians have focused their attention on our constituencies and the country as a whole. International development has only raised its head in discussions of post-Brexit trade deals.

Google share price plunges, wiping $70bn off its market value
Biggest fall since October 2012 follows worse-than-expected quarterly results
Google’s share price has had its biggest fall in nearly seven years, wiping $70bn (£54bn) off its market value, after disappointing sales figures sparked investor fears that advertisers have been shifting their business to digital rivals such as Facebook and Amazon.
Shares in Alphabet, the parent company of Google and YouTube, fell at one point by more than 8% on Tuesday, the biggest fall since October 2012, after the company produced first quarter results on Monday that were worse than expected.

Walking the wilder side of the Algarve
A self-guided walk along the dramatic cliffs and deserted footpaths of an Algarve a world away from the beach resorts and golf courses
The hunt for octopus begins soon after we arrive in Sagres, in the western Algarve. Within minutes we find it at Restaurante Gigi, where tender chunks are served in olive oil and garlic, and garnished with sweet potato. The craving for Portuguese soul food sated for now, we wander down Sagres’s main drag of low-slung whitewashed houses towards the 16th-century fortress that looms over the Atlantic. It feels as if we are on the far edge of Europe: its most south-westerly point lies a short way north – at Cabo de São Vicente, whose lighthouse I can just about see.

Microsoft joins group seeking to avoid historic climate change lawsuit
Legal immunity would squash raft of climate lawsuits launched by cities and counties across the US seeking compensation for damages
Microsoft has joined a conservative-led group that demands fossil fuel companies be granted legal immunity from attempts to claw back damages from the climate change they helped cause.
The stated goals of the Climate Leadership Council (CLC) include a $40-a-ton fee on carbon dioxide emissions in return for the gutting of current climate change regulations and “protecting companies from federal and state tort liability for historic emissions”.

Primarul din Mioveni, Ion Georgescu, a spus astăzi într-o conferinţă de presă a PSD Argeş că lucrările de construire a noului spital orăşenesc din Mioveni decurg conform planurilor de până acum, iar pe 20 septembrie se vor muta aici şi secţiile de la spitalul "Sf. Spiridon". Pentru finalizarea lucrărilor şi pentru investiţii este nevoie de 20 milioane de euro, bani pe care primarul a spus că administraţia locală i-ar putea accesa printr-un credit dacă nu va primi până în mai un răspuns favorabil din partea Ministerului Sănătăţii către care a făcut mai multe solicitări de finanţare pe diverse programe. În ceea ce priveşte angajările, Ion Georgescu a precizat că nu primăria se ocupă de acestea, ci Ministerul Sănătăţii. Cei interesaţi trebuie să urmărească ediţiile din iulie şi august ale revistei "Sănătatea" în care vor fi publicate anunţurile de angajare. - ( 05.04.2019 ) ION GEORGESCU, VEŞTI DESPRE NOUL SPITAL DIN MIOVENI | MIOVENI
