Outsourcing helps grow its network globally-Outsourcing is also about tapping global networks. When a local business contracts a business process outsourcing company, they get to increase their network and market. This benefits both Canada and the foreign economy.Nowadays, there has been an increase in Canadian companies that outsource both nearshore and offshore. What’s more is that this strategic practice is viable to all organizations from small businesses to multinational corporations in different industries.Examples of outsourcing services that Canadian companies have been leveraging from global BPO companies are:Call center services-Web development-Software development-Back office services-Digital marketing-Quality assurance-Data entry-Email marketing.And despite this constantly evolving activity, here are some examples of companies in Canada that use outsourcing to their advantage:In 2017, CIBC went under fire for laying off some of its workers and outsourcing IT services to India. In a statement by CEO Victor Dodig, he disproved the claims that the company outsourced to cut costs.ROYAL BANK-They have famously outsourced their IT services to iGate, a US company with most of its operations in India. TD BANK-Outsourcing has been popular in large financial institutions in the country. One of them is the Toronto-Dominion Bank, known as TD Bank. Worldwide, it has over 26 million clients and over 89,000 employees. Outsourcing has also contributed to the success of the company.It started outsourcing to HP Canada in 2004 for their bank machine network and point-of-sale systems across the country. It helped them improve accessibility, security, and availability for their customers wherever they go.However, the bank also went under fire in 2017, when an insider opened up about outsourcing fraud claims to India. Fortunately, in August this year, after the investigation led by the Canadian government, TD Bank was found to be compliant with the country’s privacy law and was cleared of its alleged violations.The Philippines’ capital city of Manila is the second biggest outsourcing city in the world, and when you consider everything the country has to offer this should come as no surprise. China has multiple economic engines including Beijing, Shanghai, and Hong Kong and recently took the majority of spots on the top 10 fastest growing software companies report by PWC. Outsourcing to India was once a controversial issue for companies, as oftentimes they couldn’t predict the quality of services they would get. Nowadays, with the entrepreneurial spirit alive and kicking in India, there is rapid growth of many industries, including software and IT development. The Egyptian IT industry is in the early stages of maturity, but has already established Egypt as the top country for IT in Africa. One in 25 Canadian workers loses their job due to outsourcing.(Source: Pearsoned & CBC)-Jobs lost to outsourcing statistics show us that one in 25 employees in Canada loses their jobs because of outsourcing. The jobs that are outsourced are mainly accountant positions that go to Indian workers. One of the biggest companies in Canada that outsource is CIBC. This Toronto-based bank pulled in $1.4 billion in profit due to outsourcing.Over 75% of businesses actively pursue or consider Robotic Process Automation (RPA) in their sourcing arrangements.BPO (Business Process Outsourcing) generated US$26 billion in 2019.With a revenue of US$62 billion, the Americas had the largest outsourcing market in 2019.Outsourcing companies in Canada have outsourced over $11.9 billion to IT consultants.Canadian businesses and government will spend an estimated $15 billion on technology outsourcing in 2021.One in 25 Canadian workers loses their job due to outsourcing.The majority of HR outsourcing companies have less than 30 full-time employees.
Thales to establish digital excellence center in Canada-Apr 24, 2023, 12:26 pm EDT | Larisa Redins
Canada will be the site of Thales Group’s National Digital Excellence Centre (NDEC) and North America cybersecurity operation.The facility, in Fredericton, New Brunswick, is expected to contribute up to $63 million in direct provincial gross domestic over five years, according to a provincial government announcement.Arlene Dunn, the government minister responsible for Opportunities NB, comments that France-based Thales should feel comfortable in New Brunswick, which is Canada’s only bilingual province, English and French.New Brunswick “is purposefully looking to strengthen our economic and cultural ties with France.” Thales’ decision to expand to the province “is a testament to the strength of our existing cybersecurity ecosystem and our working relationship with France and the United Kingdom.”An economic development agency for the province, Opportunities NB is investing up to CA$5.5 million (US$4 million) over five years to support the center.Meanwhile, the federal government has pledged $3 million ($2.2 million) for the two centers in the Fredericton area. The Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency (ACOA) is providing $1.8 million to assist the University of New Brunswick’s McKenna Institute in developing new cybersecurity and digital resilience programs for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Additionally, ACOA is contributing more than $1.2 million ($886,000) to regional economic development agency Ignite in the design and establishment of the New Brunswick center.The center should create 110 new jobs and act as a research and talent hub for Canada, Thales says.“We will collaborate across a talent-rich innovation value chain – educational institutions, academia, startups, small and medium-sized businesses, industry, and governments – to develop the cyber technologies, capabilities and resilience,” adds Chris Pogue, CEO of Thales Canada.Thales recently opened its first design center in Noida, India. According to the company, the center will create new products and services and facilitate partnerships with customers, other companies and academia. Thales also has design centers in Europe, Latin America, North America, the Middle East and Singapore.
Public sector fraud is rising, biometrics could be the solution, says iProov-Apr 24, 2023, 12:56 pm EDT | Masha Borak
The COVID-19 pandemic kicked off a scramble to digitize the public sector including handing out financial aid to citizens. But fraudsters are seizing this opportunity by increasingly spoofing ID verification using sophisticated generative AI technologies, such as deepfakes, digitally injected attacks and synthetic identities.A key driver of public sector fraud is that millions of Americans’ PII has already been exposed in past data breaches. This means that fraudsters can use existing data combining it with sophisticated technologies to power dangerous, scalable threats like credential stuffing attacks, U.S. biometric verification company iProov says in a new report.Up to $80 billion, or about 10 percent of the $800 billion handed out in a COVID relief plan known as the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), was stolen by fraudsters, according to experts. The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL), says that one watchdog group reported a six times increase in unemployment fraud investigations over pre-pandemic levels.The stakes for solving the issue are high as citizens can lose access to benefits because of fraud. Individuals have found that their accounts for Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) cards emptied after cases of account takeover fraud.iProov said that many traditional security methods, relying on tokens and passwords, are unable to counter modern fraud by cybercriminals. Instead, resilient biometric-enabled identity verification could flag attempts from fraudsters to apply for benefits, according to the report.iProov recently discussed digital identity proofing as a public good in a webinar focused on state DMVs and mobile driver’s licenses. During the event, iProov SVP and Head of Americas Ajay Amlani discussed the need for a stronger foundation for identity proofing of U.S. citizens which could be provided by motor vehicle departments.iProov works with public sector organizations including the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, the UK Home Office, the Australian government and the Singapore government.
CNN host Don Lemon parts ways with US network after sexist Haley comments-Morning show host says he’s been sacked after 17 years following divisive run over past few months; presidential candidate welcomes development: ‘A great day for women everywhere’By David Bauder-APR 25,23-Today, 9:37 am
NEW YORK (AP) — CNN fired longtime host Don Lemon on Monday following his short and disastrous run as a morning show host, a little over two months after he apologized for on-air comments about Republican US presidential candidate Nikki Haley being past her prime.The move quickly turned nasty. While CNN chairman and CEO Chris Licht announced, after Lemon had co-hosted the show Monday, that they had “parted ways,” Lemon characterized it as a firing and said it was a surprise to him.“After 17 years at CNN I would have thought someone in management would have the decency to tell me directly,” Lemon said. The US network said that Lemon was given the opportunity to meet with management but released a statement on Twitter instead.Into the Land: A Tale of Two CitiesCNN offered no public explanation for Lemon’s dismissal. During a February discussion on “CNN This Morning” with co-hosts Poppy Harlow and Kaitlan Collins about the ages of politicians, he said that the 51-year-old Haley was not “in her prime.” A woman, he said, was considered in her prime “in her 20s, 30s and maybe her 40s.”Harlow challenged Lemon, trying to clarify what he was referencing: “I think we need to qualify. Are you talking about prime for childbearing or are you talking about prime for being president?”“Don’t shoot the messenger, I’m just saying what the facts are,” Lemon responded.Lemon issued a statement the same day, saying he regretted his “inartful and irrelevant” comments. He was subsequently absent from the show for three days, returning the following week with a tweeted apology but no mention of the episode on air.Haley, who had criticized Lemon’s statements as sexist and used the incident to fundraise in February, took to Twitter on Monday to call Lemon’s ouster “a great day for women everywhere,” linking to beverage sleeves emblazoned with “Past my prime? Hold my beer.”Lemon used to host the prime-time “Don Lemon Tonight” but moved when the network launched “CNN This Morning” last November, just before the US midterm elections, as one of the first major programming moves under Licht.He attracted negative attention last fall by saying that the US men’s soccer team should be paid more than the women’s team, saying that the men were “more interesting to watch.”Lemon had a well-publicized on-air tiff with Collins last December, when he accused her of trying to interrupt him.Lemon also had a tense on-air interview last week with Republican presidential contender Vivek Ramaswamy where Lemon, who is Black, disputed Ramaswamy’s interpretation of racial history.It’s all a bad look for a morning news show, where the audience is primarily women and casts try to depict themselves as a big happy family. The show has made little headway in the ratings against the more popular “Fox & Friends” and “Morning Joe” on cable news competitors.The lousy vibes were beginning to cost CNN advertising sales and some potential guests were becoming reluctant to appear on “CNN This Morning,” said a CNN staff member familiar with the decision to oust Lemon but not authorized to speak publicly.Some people close to Lemon have suggested that the morning job was essentially a demotion for him, and he was given little support to succeed.Lemon said he learned of his firing from his agent.“At no time was I ever given any indication that I would not be able to continue to do the work I have loved at the network,” he said.
RFK Jr. Says Fox Fired Tucker Carlson For Calling Out Big Pharma Advertisers’ “Deadly” Vaccines-by Steve Watson-April 25th 2023, 5:38 am
"Tucker told the truth about how greedy Pharma advertisers controlled TV news content and he lambasted obsequious newscasters for promoting jabs they knew to be lethal and worthless"Presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. weighed in on the stunning decision by Fox News to fire Tucker Carlson Monday, claiming that the host “crossed a red line” by calling out the network’s “pharma advertisers” for pushing “deadly and ineffective” vaccines.RFK Jr. pointed to Carlson’s April 19 monologue in which the host “broke TV’s two biggest rules.”“Tucker told the truth about how greedy Pharma advertisers controlled TV news content and he lambasted obsequious newscasters for promoting jabs they knew to be lethal and worthless,” RFK Jr asserted.“Fox just demonstrated the terrifying power of Big Pharma,” he added.Carlson also defended RFK Jr. and later interviewed him.The monologue RFK Jr. is referring to is below.Carlson noted that “The channels took hundreds of millions of dollars from Big Pharma companies and then they shilled for their sketchy products on the air and as they did that, they maligned anyone who was skeptical of those products. At the very least, this was a moral crime. It was disgusting, but it was universal. It happened across the American news media. They all did it.”The host continued, “So, at this point, the question isn’t who in public life is corrupt? Too many to count. The question is who is telling the truth? There are not many of those. One of them is Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Robert Kennedy knew early that the COVID vaccines were both ineffective and potentially dangerous and he said so in public to the extent he was allowed. Science has since proven Robert f. Kennedy Jr. right. Unequivocally right.”Carlson added “But Kennedy was not rewarded for this. He was vilified. He was censored because he dared to criticize their advertisers, the news media called Bobby Kennedy a Nazi, and then they attacked his family, but he kept doing it. He was not intimidated and we were glad he wasn’t. This is one of those moments when it’s nice to have a truth teller around. It’s helpful because suddenly the stakes are very high.”

Canada: The Great Gold Heist of Toronto Pearson Airport-Vedica Singh by Vedica Singh-April 21, 2023
Canada gold heist:The recent theft of $100 million worth of gold from Toronto Pearson International Airport has left many people astonished and wondering who could be behind such a daring crime. Stealing gold is not something you hear about every day, especially on such a grand scale. It is no wonder that Canada gold heist could mark one of the biggest in Canadian history.The audacity of the thief or thieves cannot be overstated. The airport is a high-security area with surveillance cameras, guards, and other measures in place to prevent theft. It is not clear how they managed to pull off such a feat. However, it is clear that they must have had a well-planned and executed scheme and possibly some inside help.The theft highlights the importance of having a good escape plan or hiding place when attempting to steal something valuable. Stealing gold is not an easy task, especially when it is stored in a secure location like an airport. The thieves must have known what they were doing and had the plan to escape undetected with the stolen goods.It is unclear what the thieves plan to do with the stolen gold. It is possible that they may try to sell it on the black market or melt it down and sell it as scrap metal. However, it is not easy to dispose of such a large amount of gold without raising suspicion.The police are undoubtedly working hard to solve this case and bring the perpetrators to justice. It is not clear whether the thieves will be caught, but one thing is for sure; this crime will not go unpunished.In conclusion, the heist of $100 million worth of gold from Canada Toronto Pearson International Airport is a stark reminder of the risks and challenges involved in stealing valuable items. It is a bold move to attempt to steal such a vast amount of gold from an airport, and whoever did it must have been incredibly brave or incredibly stupid. The incident highlights the importance of having a well-planned and executed escape plan or hiding place when attempting to steal something valuable.

Israel’s 75th Birthday Countdown – 1 day to go, the 1 and only Capital we all know-Pray for the well-being of Yerushalayim; “May those who love you be at peace.Psalms-122:6-(the israel bible)-Staff Writer-Staff Writer-Jerusalem-April 25, 2023
Israel’s 75th birthday is almost here and we couldn’t be more excited to celebrate our state’s birth with you! Join Israel365 on a journey as we count down the days to Yom Ha’atzmaut! From stunning landscapes to cultural experiences, get ready to explore the beauty of Israel, and it’s people.Let the countdown begin! The holiest city in the world, Jerusalem holds immense religious and historical importance to Israel and the Jewish people. For thousands of years, Jews have prayed to return to Jerusalem, which serves as a source of inspiration and hope to millions of Jews worldwide.The significance of Jerusalem to Judaism dates back to ancient times. It is where Abraham prepared to sacrifice his son Isaac, and where King David established his capital. It was the site of the Temple of Solomon, the center of Jewish worship and pilgrimage until its destruction by the Babylonians in 586 BCE, and the site of the Second Temple, later destroyed by the Romans in 70 CE.The Temple Mount, where Muslims later built the al-Aqsa Mosque, is Judaism’s holiest site. Sadly, both Jews and Christians are granted only limited access to the site and are often subjected to humiliating restrictions on prayer by the Jordan-based Jerusalem Islamic Waqf which currently controls the site.One of the most revered sites in Jerusalem is the Western Wall, also known as the Wailing Wall. It is the only remaining part of the Second Temple and is believed to be the closest point to the Holy of Holies, the innermost sanctuary of the Temple. Jews from around the world visit the Western Wall to pray and offer their prayers, and it has become a symbol of Jewish faith and resilience.Jerusalem is also home to some of the most important festivals and observances in Judaism. When the Temple was still standing, it was the site at which the nation would bring their sacrifices, where the High Priest would minister, and where the whole nation would gather three times a year: by Passover, Shavuot, and for the holidays of Rosh Hashana (the new year), Yom Kippur (the Day of Atonement), and Sukkot. Even today, many Jews come to Jerusalem and especially the Western Wall to celebrate these festivals.Other significant sites in Jerusalem include the Mount of Olives, where it is believed that the resurrection of the dead will occur; the City of David, where King David established his capital; and the Tomb of King David, which is believed to be his final resting place. Jerusalem’s history is marked by numerous conflicts and conquests, with it being destroyed and rebuilt multiple times. Despite this, Jerusalem remains a vital symbol for Jewish identity and faith. Today, it is the capital of Israel, and the Western Wall, in particular, continues to be a place of pilgrimage for Jews from around the world. Jerusalem remains a powerful representation of Jewish history, culture, and spiritual aspirations, and it will undoubtedly continue to play a central role in the story of Israel and its people for many years to come!
Government asks High Court not to force immediate demolition of Khan al-Ahmar-Rebuffing ultranationalist ministers’ demands, state says razing Palestinian village would have security, diplomatic consequences that trump court’s attempt to impose a timeline-By Jeremy Sharon-24 April 2023, 10:38 pm
The government has asked the High Court of Justice to dismiss petitions demanding the state immediately demolish the illegal Bedouin encampment of Khan al-Ahmar in the West Bank, insisting that it will raze the village, but that only the government itself can determine the timing.Having repeatedly vowed to evacuate the Palestinian village and move its residents to a different site, government ministers on Monday refused to provide any details as to when Khan al-Ahmar would be demolished.The government did state that it still seeks to evacuate the ramshackle Palestinian village east of Jerusalem in the West Bank, but argued that such action would have diplomatic and security consequences and, as such, there was no place for court intervention, rebuffing ultra-nationalist ministers who have sought to see the desert hamlet razed.The state filed its response a day later than the deadline it had received, due to intense opposition to the stance by Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich and National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, as well as others on the far-right.Both ministers have in the past repeatedly called for the immediate demolition of Khan al-Ahmar and demanded to speak with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, together with Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and others on the issue.Their opposition did not have much impact, however, with the state asking for the petitions to be dismissed, instead of providing the court with a timeline for the demolition of Khan al-Ahmar.Neither Smotrich nor Ben Gvir responded to requests for comment as to how the government would now proceed.Khan al-Ahmar has been a source of angry criticism for the Israeli right and the settlement movement for years. Critics fulminated against the demolition of illegal Israeli settlement outposts in the West Bank, while claiming insufficient enforcement against illegal Palestinian construction.In 2018, the High Court ruled that there was nothing to prevent the government from enforcing demolition orders issued by the Civil Administration of the Defense Ministry in 2009 against structures in Khan al-Ahmar, a tiny village home to fewer than 200 residents thrust into the international spotlight by the battle over its fate.The state has however requested numerous delays to implement the orders, mainly due to international pressure against such a move.In February, the court sharply rebuked the government for its foot dragging on the issue and failing to provide a substantive answer or solution for so long.In its response to the High Court on Monday, the government insisted its position was that Khan al-Ahmar should indeed be evacuated and demolished, and that the question is not if to do so, but when and how.It argued however that only the government was entitled to decide on the matter.“The petitioners have not proven any cause which would justify court intervention in the broad discretion the political echelon has regarding the manner and timing of the implementation of the demolition orders in the [Khan al-Ahmar] compound,” wrote the state attorneys in their response to the petitions seeking a final court order instructing the state to demolish the encampment.“The position of the political class… is that the question of timing and method of implementation the [demolition] orders are influenced by wide and varied political and security considerations. As such, and bearing in mind the classified information on which these considerations are based, the position of the political echelon is that the decision regarding the question should be left in their hands,” the government argued.The state continued, saying the timing of the demolition “is a complex and sensitive question, the consequences of which exceed mere construction and planning laws,” and added that the evacuation of the encampment could have consequences “for Israel’s foreign relations and security.”The right-wing Regavim organization which is one of the petitioners demanding Khan al-Ahmar be immediately denounced the government’s position, saying “the Israeli government has created the silver platter on which we will be handing the Palestinian Authority a state in the heartland of Israel: the illegal outpost known as Khan al Ahmar.”Khan al-Ahmar is located just east of Jerusalem, near the large settlement of Ma’ale Adumim.The state says the hamlet’s structures, mostly makeshift shacks and tents, were built without permits and pose a threat to the village’s residents because of their proximity to a highway.Khan al-Ahmar’s Palestinian residents, members of the Jahalin tribe, say they arrived in the area in the 1950s after already being displaced during the 1948 War of Independence.The state has prepared a site for the relocation of the encampment some 15 kilometers (nine miles) west of the current site next to the Palestinian town of Abu Dis, just outside Jerusalem, which includes various rudimentary structures and infrastructure for a sewage system as well as the supply of water and electricity.But the UN, EU, and other international bodies have warned that forcibly moving Khan al-Ahmar’s residents would violate international law and might even constitute a war crime, as displacement of a population under occupation is forbidden under international law.
Jews banned from Temple Mount and Arabs desecrate the site, destroying antiquities-For the sake of Tzion I will not be silent, For the sake of Yerushalayim I will not be still, Till her victory emerge resplendent And her triumph like a flaming torch.Isaiah-62:1-(the israel bible)-Adam Eliyahu Berkowitz-Israel News-April 25, 2023
On Sunday, Jews returned to their holiest site, the Temple Mount, after a 12-day ban mandated by the Israeli government due to the Muslim Ramadan. However, when Jews returned to their holiest site, they were horrified to find piles of garbage and antiquities destroyed.The conflict is focused on Shaar HaRachamim, the Gate of Mercy, also known as the Golden Gate. On Saturday, the Waqf (Muslim authority) claimed that Israeli police officers reportedly entered the site and removed electricity cables and construction materials.The subterranean hall was locked in 2003 by court order after it was used as a meeting place for a Hamas-affiliated organization. In 2019, Palestinians illegally forced their way into the site and transformed it into a prayer hall. The Waqf accused the Israeli authorities of “violating the sanctity of al-Aqsa Mosque.” It emphasized that the Bab al-Rahma prayer hall is an “original part of the blessed al-Aqsa Mosque”.The Palestinian Mufti of Jerusalem, Sheikh Mohammed Hussein, decried the actions of the police.“The mosque belongs only to Muslims,” he said. “We reject any [Israeli] attempt to interfere in the administration of the Islamic holy sites. We are opposed to any attempt to alter the status quo at the Haram al-Sharif.”But much of the Arab activity at the site was clearly destructive.While tens of thousands of Arabs came to celebrate the end of Ramadan with the Eid al-Fitr feast, the religious festivities were marred by riots and destructive activities. Or Nehemia Aharonov, a resident of Givat Assaf, was among some of the first Jews to visit the site after the closure. He was shocked at what he found.“There was garbage everywhere,” he said. “We also saw some of the ancient stone remnants that were broken and used to block the pathways used by Jews,” Nehemiah said.Perhaps most distressing was the obvious neglect of ancient timbers adjacent to the Sha’ar HaRachamim. Adjacent to the site is a pile of timber covered in a tarpaulin. Though they appear to be debris and are treated as such by the Muslims, they date back to the period of the Jewish Temples.Repurposed to build the Aqsa Mosque, an earthquake in 1927 caused the roof to collapse. The roofing beams were dismantled and stored in the courtyard of the Sha’ar HaRachamim. In the 1970s, the beams were inspected by a team of Israeli botanists who determined that most of them were cedars from Lebanon and some are Cypress trees. They carried out Carbon-14 tests on several of the timbers. Some were determined to have been felled about 1,340 years ago, which is approximately when al-Aqsa Mosque was originally built. One cypress beam was determined to be 2,600 years old, or from around 630 BCE – around 50 years before the destruction of the First Temple. Shockingly, one of the oak beams was determined to be 2,860 years old. That meant the tree had been cut down around 880 BCE, early in the First Temple period.About a decade ago, the Israeli Antiquities Authority wanted to preserve the beams but the Waqf insisted the beams are their property. There have been unconfirmed sightings of some of the beams stored next to the Golden Gate being burned.“The beams have always been there,” Nehemia said. “But lately, they have been neglected and abused and there are clearly fewer of them.”Tom Nisani, CEO of the Beyadenu Temple Mount advocacy organization, told Israel365 News that when the Jews returned to the Temple Mount, they found massive amounts of litter scattered on the holy site.“The Jordanian Waqf and Palestinians continue to use the loose and inconsistent policies of the Israeli authorities to their benefit as they blame Israel for desecrating the site,” Nisani told Israel365 News. “Jewish ascenders arrived at the Temple Mount after a 12-day closure to find the most sacred site in Judaism trashed and abused. We should be the ones complaining about desecration.”“Unless we apply Israeli control and sovereignty on the Temple Mount, it matters very little how often we close the site as every act is considered a provocation,” he added/ The Temple Mount is the holiest site to Judaism but the Sha’ar HaRachamim bears additional significance. According to Jewish tradition, the Messiah will arrive via the Sha’ar HaRachamim. Out of a mistaken belief that Jewish tradition speaks of the Messiah being from the priestly caste, the Ottomans built a cemetery in front of the gate in order to prevent the Jewish Messiah from arriving.During the month of Ramadan, Palestinian violence increased with much being focused on the Temple Mount. After Israel and Jordan agreed to allow Muslims to stay overnight in the Al-Aqsa Mosque on April 11 to observe itikaf, a Muslim practice involving multi-day prayer, Hamas took the opportunity and called on Arabs to riot at the site. Several hundred Palestinians barricaded themselves inside the mosque with explosive devices, rocks, and fireworks in order to target Israeli civilians and security forces. Police responded by entering the mosque and employing crowd control measures that included stun grenades and tear gas, ultimately arresting 350 Palestinian men.
Researchers discover artifacts from 1948 heroic last stand of ‘Lamed Heh’ Battalion-Moshe said to Yehoshua, “Pick some men for us, and go out and do battle with Amalek. Tomorrow I will station myself on the top of the hill, with the rod of Hashem in my hand.”Exodus-10:12-(the israel bible)-Adam Eliyahu Berkowitz-Israel News-April 25, 2023
Just in time for Israel’s Memorial Day, archaeologists announced they had discovered artifacts belonging to the heroic “Lamed Heh” platoon that was tragically wiped out in the 1948 War of Independence. Researchers Dr. Rafi Lewis from Ashkelon Academic College and Haifa University, and Eyal Marco from the Israel Antiquities Authority announced on Monday that they had discovered the compass belonging possibly to the commander of the division, Dani Mass, or to one of the two scouts, Yitzhak Halevi or Yitzhak Zevuloni. The compass was discovered at the top of Battle Hill in the Yehuda Lowlands, next to Bren machine gun bullet casings. The compass, determined to have been produced between 1900 and 1933, had its glass panel shattered by a bullet, according to an Israel Police forensic investigation.“At this point, it is impossible to associate the compass with a specific fighter, but it is likely that it belonged to one of three – the platoon commander Dani Mass, or one of the two rangers who fought with the force – Yitzhak Halevi or Yitzhak Zevuloni,” said Lewis. “Certain identification of the original owner of the compass is not possible at this stage, but we have hope that in the future archival material will be discovered that will make this possible.” “The fact that the compass corresponds to the period in which the battle took place, and the fact that the compass was found to have been hit by a projectile, reinforces the assumption that it was used in the Battle of the Lamed He, and also shows that a commanding figure – or at least a leading figure, was present at the scene of the last battle,” Marco added.The compass was found alongside bullet casings on the site of the battlefield (Credit: Yuli Schwartz, Eyal Marco, Israel Antiquities Authority)The ‘Lamed Heh’, standing for 35 in Hebrew numerology, was a convoy of 38 Haganah fighters sent to resupply the blockaded kibbutzim of Gush Etzion in January 1948. The convoy attempted to arrive by foot after numerous attempts by motorized convoys failed to break through to the beleaguered kibbutzim. Three were sent back after one soldier sprained his ankle, leaving 35 fighters. The force was discovered by local Arabs who attacked en masse. The 35 fought until they ran out of ammunition. After the war, the bodies were returned to Israel, many mutilated beyond recognition, and were buried on Mount Herzl. The find comes as a result of special work being carried out by Marco and Lewis who met during reserve service in the Eitan unit for locating missing persons in the IDF. The two applied their archaeology backgrounds to their efforts and for the last two years, have been conducting a unique study on the Lamed Heh Battle Hill.Artifacts found on the site from the heroic battalion’s last stand (Credit: Yuli Schwartz, Eyal Marco, Israel Antiquities Authority)“We saw that the material evidence from the battle was disappearing,” said Marco and Dr. Lewis. “The objects are weathering in the field, and travelers are collecting souvenirs, and we felt that if we don’t do it now, in a few years we won’t have the opportunity to recreate the battlefield. With the help of colleagues, family members and reserve friends, we set off.” Forensic research done at the Israel Police laboratories showed that the glass of the compass was shattered as a result of a bullet that pierced the frame of the compass, scratching and shattering its glass.The research findings will be published at the beginning of May in the scientific journal Studies of the Land of Judah of the Israeli Antiquities Authority and Kfar Etzion Field School, produced in cooperation with the KKL-JNF, Bar-Ilan University, the Nature and Parks Authority, the Jesselson Foundation and Mizrah R&D. The journal is produced as part of the “Studies of the Land of Yehuda” conference which will be held on May 8 (Lag B’Omer).

Christian group stands up to neo-Nazi antisemitism in Florida-For thus said the lord of Hosts—He who sent me after glory—concerning the nations that have taken you as spoil: “Whoever touches you touches the pupil of his own eye.-Zechariah-2:12(the israel bible)-Adam Eliyahu Berkowitz-April 24, 2023
On Saturday, a group of about 60 multi-faith protesters came out in support of the Jewish community at the intersection of State Road 40 and Beach Street in Ormond Beach, Florida to stand against antisemitic hate groups. The net result was that the neo-Nazis, who are becoming more visible in Florida, were a no-show.A request for a permit to demonstrate submitted by the National Socialist Movement, a neo-Nazi white supremacist organization, was submitted by group leader Burt Colucci and was denied by the city on the grounds that the NSM is a “public nuisance hate group” as defined in their city code. “Prominent leaders of the National Socialist Movement have been arrested, charged and/or convicted for committing hate-related crimes,” the city wrote in its denial. It also states that Colucci as a co-defendant is currently charged in Orange County, Florida, with battery, a third-degree felony, with a trial date scheduled for June 2023.“The crimes were committed at a rally of the applicant,” the permit denial reads. “You are also indicted in Arizona for committing hate-related offenses at rallies there.”The hate groups are also protesting against Volusia County Sheriff Mike Chitwood who has vowed to shut down antisemitism in his precinct. His efforts have made him a target and so far three people have been jailed for making online death threats against the sheriff.A counter-protest was organized by the Philos Action League, a group devoted to creating a community of Christians committed to showing up in solidarity with the Jewish community when an act of antisemitism happens. Protesters held signs with statements like “We stand for our Jewish neighbors”, “Zero tolerance for antisemitism”, and “End Jew hatred”.The show of solidarity was apparently intimidating as, despite ongoing calls to demonstrate, no neo-Nazis appeared. Luke Moon, deputy director of the Philos Project, was pleased with the results.“We were successful,” Moon told Israel365 News. “We accomplished our goal. The goal is to get out in front of them and prevent antisemitism before it shows up. This was a real show of support here in this county. ”Antisemitism is on the rise in the area. Last week, antisemitic flyers were distributed in Debary and in February, white supremacists from NSM and the Goyim Defense League stood on the pedestrian bridge over International Speedway Boulevard near Ormond Beach holding anti-Jewish signs. The GDL is known for dumping antisemitic propaganda in yards in multiple cities and hoisting banners similar to the ones displayed on the bridge. At the same time, the GDL held a rally outside a Chabad center in Orlando.One year earlier, the community was blanketed with hate flyers and antisemitic graffiti that were believed to have been distributed by the GDL.

Biometrics and the digital wallet revolution-Apr 24, 2023, 9:53 pm EDT-By Karine Martinez, Head of Sales at PPS
Evolving technologies and innovative fintechs are making financial services faster and more convenient than ever. Digital wallets are a prime example, with the total number of users set to exceed 5.2 billion globally in 2026, up from 3.4 billion in 2022.
Of course, there are some who remain skeptical about the security aspect of digital wallets, and biometric authentication technology has emerged as a potential solution. So, as financial technology continues to evolve to meet changing consumer expectations, what’s next for digital wallets, and how will biometrics enhance their next incarnation?The rise of the super wallet-The last few years not only accelerated growth of electronic payments, but made consumers accustomed to the convenience they offer. Now they expect even more, and a single-function app approach already feels outdated. Looking ahead, new digital wallets will need to include financial offerings that go beyond facilitating payments, such as loans, insurance, investing, and digital banking.The result will be more financial super apps, or super wallets: each a connected ecosystem where users can manage payments, savings, investments, crypto, budgets, loans, insurance, and more, in one place.Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) is sure to play a part in the future of digital wallets, as will new actors in the form of big banks, who are wading into the digital wallet water. Wells Fargo, U.S. Bank, and PNC, are among those who have started to develop their own digital wallet to ‘address long-standing payment problems in e-commerce.’ Whether they are able to offer the functionality, flexibility and innovation of a super wallet to persuade customers to abandon their existing wallets remains to be seen, but no doubt security will be front of mind. After all, achieving supper wallet status means integrating an unprecedented level of third-party components – think BNPL, deals, loyalty offers, and more.While the growing super app trend is a great step in enhancing the user experience, as well as increasing company bottom lines, risk management needs to be at the forefront of development because the risk of being attacked inside a super app is much greater than a single-purpose app.Super apps are a goldmine of personal identity information including contact lists, IP addresses, chat histories, web search terms, bank details, transactions, and more, so biometric verification will be needed for that extra layer of authentication, without adding unnecessary friction.Crypto wallets will leverage biometrics for security-As of August 2022, the number of crypto wallet users reached more than 84 million worldwide, up from around 76 million users the previous year, and the global crypto wallet market size was valued at $8.42 billion.This is expected to grow even further at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 24.8 percent from 2023 to 2030. But following news that Trezor crypto wallets have fallen victim to phishing attacks, it’s clear there are still security hurdles facing this tech.Dealing in cryptocurrency is not without risk. Apart from closely monitoring the price volatility, technical complexity and governance, keeping the private keys safe and protecting them from scams and hackers is vital in cryptocurrency trading. Hardware wallet devices are inherently more secure as they hold private keys a secure physical device disconnected from the internet, leaving them less vulnerable to hackers.As cryptocurrency and crypto wallets increase in popularity, biometrics can help to level up security. The move to introduce biometrics into crypto wallets is already in progress, with some brands evaluating and implementing the technology because it successfully walks the line between security and convenience for crypto users.A Visa survey conducted last year revealed that 86 percent of consumers were enthused to use biometrics for authentication when making payments, and 70 percent said it was simpler to use than passwords or PINs. This makes biometric technology the perfect partner for the super wallets and crypto wallets of the future.-The next step in the evolution of digital wallets-With so many already embracing digital wallets as a convenient, fast, and secure payment method, could they replace cards and cash altogether and become the new normal? I’m excited to find out as I and the wider team at PPS continue our work at the forefront of the innovations driving the evolution of the digital wallet. I’m confident it’s an evolution that includes multi-factor biometric authentication.About the author-Karine Martinez is head of sales at PPS.

DIACC study reveals Canadian demand for digital identity transparency and control-Apr 24, 2023, 9:29 pm EDT | Larisa Redins
A study by the Digital Identity & Authentication Council of Canada (DIACC) has revealed that Canadians want more autonomy over their digital identity, privacy and digital wallet data.The findings of the DIACC Digital Identity Perspectives Research were published this week, providing insights into the attitudes of Canadians towards personal data control and privacy.The study revealed that caregivers are particularly interested in adopting digital identity solutions to meet their dependents’ needs related to school and health records. That said, most Canadians expressed concerns about their personal information being available online, with identity theft and senior scams high on their list of worries.Regarding a possible framework for digital identity, respondents indicated a preference for collaboration between the public and private sectors, with the latter seen as slightly more reliable. This belief increased from 65 percent in 2021 to 71 percent in 2022.Dave Nikolejsin, the chair of the DIACC Board, notes that “the public and private sectors have a unique opportunity to put the PCTF (Pan-Canadian Trust Framework) into action to help Canadians secure personal data control, reducing the threat of fraud while also promoting economic growth opportunities. A safe and secure data environment benefits everyone.”DIACC says the Pan-Canadian Trust Framework ensures secure public and private sector identity capability interoperability. It prioritizes user-centered design, privacy, security and convenience of use. According to DIACC, PCTF is a freely accessible resource available to everyone.Digital wallet usage is also becoming increasingly popular among Canadians, with 59 percent of respondents being familiar with them in 2022 compared to 54 percent in 2021. Of those using digital wallets, the use of Apple Wallet has increased from 17 percent in 2021 to 24 percent in 2022.The study also revealed that two-thirds of Canadians believe that the pandemic has increased the importance of secure and trustworthy digital identity and verification solutions for safe online transactions, which is consistent with the previous year’s findings.DIACC launched the Canadian digital identity framework compliance certification program, the Voilà Verified Trustmark Program last fall.The program certifies digital identity service providers based on the Pan-Canadian Trust Framework. DIACC created the Voilà Verified program to comply with ISO standards. Vendors that adhere to PCTF standards can undergo evaluation via the program and earn a trustmark that is visible to the public.
UK commissioner urges police transparency on cloud biometrics-Apr 24, 2023, 9:15 pm EDT | Chris Burt
The burden of proof for the safety of law enforcement agencies using cloud biometrics services lies with the police, UK Biometrics and Surveillance Camera Commissioner Fraser Sampson told Computer Weekly.Police and related organizations are increasingly using public cloud infrastructure, and must be able to show that doing so complies with specific rules for the protection of law enforcement data, he says. A culture of preserving data among law enforcement agencies, as previously identified by Sampson, makes the protection of stored data all the more important.A contract for the Digital Evidence Sharing Capability operated by the Scottish government was recently awarded to Axon, and will be hosted on Microsoft Azure, according to the report. The Scottish Police Authority’s Data Protection Impact Assessment cited a concern that the storage of cloud data by U.S. providers could violate the law because the American government could in theory demand access to the biometric data.UK police have been accused of failing to be adequately transparent about their use of facial recognition by Sampson. Transparency around biometrics is also made more important by the reduction in oversight that appears will be in place if and when Sampson’s position is eliminated as planned.“Past performance is a good predictor of future performance, and the police rap sheet on data protection and databases isn’t great,” Sampson told Computer Weekly.The Home Office accidentally lost hundreds of thousands of records, some including biometrics, in 2021, despite years of attempts to get facial images deleted from a database held by the same body.Law enforcement and justice system agencies should be able to answer questions “immediately and unequivocally,” according to Sampson, as a matter of policy. Agencies should not only put risk mitigation measures in place, but also be ready to respond to questions about them.“If you want the public to have trust and confidence in your kit and what you’re doing, and your contracted partners, then you have to be able to show that,” he said. “This is not just a nuisance. If people ask these questions of the police, that is not simply a nuisance, and it’s not someone trying to catch them out – it’s an elemental function of leadership and governance in policing that we don’t only respond to these challenge questions, we invite them.”Sampson also notes the importance of having assurances about how securely data is stored in the cloud, and having control over it, as a matter of importance for national sovereignty. While that does not mean the data needs to be stored in a particular place, it does mean that it should be stored in a particular way.

European standards agency presents new proof of concept for user-centric digital ID-Apr 21, 2023, 2:50 pm EDT | Masha Borak
Up until recently, interaction with smart products and services often did not live up to users’ expectations due to technical limitations. But artificial intelligence is opening up new ways to achieve these interactions, and the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) is looking to provide theoretical frameworks for how to make these interactions more user-centric.This is why the ETSI User Group’s latest work are two technical reports titled ‘User Centric approach in Digital Ecosystem.’ Both reports were presented during an ETSI webinar held this Thursday. The first part was published in November 2022 and the second one just weeks ago in March.ETSI is a not-for-profit standardization organization that works closely with the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) on setting technical standards. Its User Group special committee issues recommendations for standards-makers on how to make ICT products and services more user-centric.The reports offer a Proof of Concept (PoC) study for smart ID including a user profile model, which ETSI refers to as a “digital clone.” This model is application independent, and users keep in control of their data, according to the report. The Proof of Concept is building the use case of an active profile for smart ID that would allow AI to offer an answer crafted in natural language.“According to this approach, the Smart Identity needs to have a sufficient knowledge for the user interface to anticipate and respond to the user’s needs and expectations, with a more in-depth analysis of the digital ecosystem,” the report states.ETSI also analyzes different use cases and identifies areas requiring standardization and regulation. The final step is to describe and implement the Smart Interface based on Smart ID for a smart interaction between the user and the digital ecosystem, the report says.Users should be at the center of the digital ecosystem, Jean-Yves Monfort, ETSI User Group chair said during the webinar.“Users nowadays are fully mobile: They move, change networks, terminals, while wanting seamless continuity of service, security, safety and end-to-end Quality of Service,” says Monfort. “It, therefore, forces the entire digital ecosystem to provide the services it chooses which it personalizes according to the principle ‘anywhere anytime, any how, any device, every service for everyone’.”
Sweden’s BankID launching new digital ID card-Apr 24, 2023, 12:32 pm EDT | Masha Borak
Sweden’s most popular digital identity provider BankID is launching a new digital ID card that will serve a similar function and contain the same information and portrait photo as ID documents.The service is expected to be available before summer, Swedish newspaper Dagens Nyheter reports.BankID is Sweden’s most common e-ID. Out of 10.4 million Swedes, around 8.4 million use BankID with the vast majority choosing its mobile version. In 2022, it was used no less than 6.7 billion times, including identifications as well as signing. The company currently has 6,150 businesses, authorities and organizations offering the service for identification.Users will be able to show the new digital ID while buying alcohol and other goods that require age verification as well as collecting parcels at the post office. However, the ID will not replace traditional identification while traveling within Schengen countries or dealing with the government.“The digital ID is a solution which BankID is offering but it is up to every individual government agency and company if they want to accept it,” BankID’s spokesperson Charlotte Patakytold told local media. “It is not possible to use it when you are flying out of the country. For that you’ll need a passport.”Users that want to present their digital ID card will have to verify their identity in the BankID app with a valid Swedish passport or national ID card. Companies will be able to verify the digital ID by scanning a QR code in the app. BankID also added biometrics support last year.The Swedish government recently issued a report stating that the introduction of a national e-id with the highest level of security is “extremely urgent.” In December 2022, the country formed an inquiry into developing a government-issued digital ID with results set to be published in May 2024.BankID is run by the company Finansiell ID-Teknik BID, which in turn is owned by seven banks.
Rwanda initiates legislative digital ID amendment to include stateless persons, children-Apr 24, 2023, 1:38 pm EDT | Ayang Macdonald
Stateless persons as well as newborns in Rwanda will be among those able to have a digital identity card if a legislative amendment proposed by the country’s government comes to fruition.The proposal to amend the 2008 law on the registration of persons and the issuance of the national ID card will allow for the creation of the Rwanda Single Digital ID system (SDID).The digital ID will come in two versions, authorities say, namely a physical card which will have a QR code containing biometric data, and an unprinted version that uses biometrics to access the ID. The ID number assigned to children will be part of their birth registration data which can be revised till the child attains the legal age to carry a national ID, officials say.Making the proposal to members of parliament on 20 April, the Minister of ICT, Paula Ingabire, emphasized the importance of the digital ID system as a propeller of social and economic progress, KT Press reports.The Minister said the system is part of efforts by the government in Kigali to simplify access to public services and drive the digital economy, while easing the social living conditions of citizens.The Rwanda digital ID scheme is a project to be funded to the tune of US$40 million by the World Bank, and Ingabire says it will be executed within a period of three years after the legislative framework has been put in place.That’s why the government hopes the legislative amendment, which was suggested following feasibility studies by an African Development Bank-funded initiative, can be sorted out as soon as possible, the outlet notes.Authorities say the draft legislation was put together drawing inspiration from best practices in digital ID systems in countries like Canada, Estonia, Singapore, India, Malaysia, and the Philippines.The upcoming system, the Minister adds, will help close the gaps currenting existing in the country’s legacy ID architecture. Staff are being trained to adapt to the new ID system, which seeks to also harmonize the population register database.These plans come as Rwanda has already made gains in decentralizing birth registration to increase the rate of birth certificate issuance, a credential required for issuing national ID cards.Several other countries have also recently moved to prioritize the registration of newborns and stateless people.Ghana’s Vice President, Mahamudu Bawumia, while mentioning the strides of the Ghana digital ID card during a recent event at Harvard University, announced that the country also plans to start issuing digital ID cards to children from June.Early this year, Vietnam also proposed issuing chip-based ID cards to children under the age of six.On the issue of stateless persons, Kenya recently began a process to issue legal ID to members of the Pemba community, descendants of a group of people who settled in the country in the 1930s. The Pembas have lived for decades without legal ID in Kenya.
Biometric SIM registration soon in Mozambique, Ghana orders block of unlinked lines-Philippines national ID requirement draws criticism-Apr 24, 2023, 1:27 pm EDT | Ayang Macdonald
The club of countries introducing biometrics for SIM card registration continues to expand with Mozambique being the latest to unveil its plans. The government says the about 15 million citizens using mobile telecommunications services in the country will be expected to biometrically register their SIM cards in the next six months. In Ghana, the exercise has been ongoing for the past months and the National Communications Authority (NCA) has called on telcos to suspend the lines of those who failed to complete stage two of the registration process by 31 March. In The Philippines, the registration deadline looms, but many have not completed the process due to the document requirements imposed.New SIM registration rules in MozambiqueA newly instituted decree signed on 11 April in Mozambique requires all those registering SIM cards to provide their fingerprint and face biometrics in addition to other identity credentials such a national ID card, passport or driver’s licence.The decree, which approves the Regulation on the Registration of Telecommunication Services, also calls for the registration of all mobile devices, and reseller and distribution agents of telecommunication services.The changes will be enforced by the country’s Regulatory Authority for Communication (INCM).A seminar was held recently in the capital Maputo to popularize the decree, with a data science expert Reinaldo Zezela explaining that biometrics will “allow easy identification of the perpetrators of crimes in the sector, who today, due to lack of this information, commit fraud, with us left unable to identify or recognize them,” according to a report attributed to local publication Carte de Mozambique.Zezela said the biometric data will enable authorities better identify telecoms users who will also be issued a unique telecommunications number.Also, the new registration will have two databases, the expert said. One will hold the ID information of subscribers, their SIM cards and devices, while the other will be dedicated to information on fraud or attempted fraud by mobile service users.The new rules, as explained by Zezela, provide sanctions for those who fail to comply with the new SIM registration requirements.The regulations will be operationalized within 30 from the day of signature of the decree. The decree comes after the council of ministers approved the proposal early in March.Lesotho and Namibia are among the latest countries in African to introduce biometric registration for SIM cards.Over 8M unregistered SIM cards risk deactivation-In the meantime, in Ghana, SIM cards which had not gone through the second stage of registration before 31 March are to be blocked, according to a government directive.The NCA had called on users to fully register their SIMs before this date, as seen in announcements on its Facebook page, or their SIMs would be blocked by 17 April.This is not the first time SIM cards whose users defaulted on government directives have been blocked. Around eight million SIMs were deactivated late last year,Ahead of the deadline, the NCA had also directed all telecoms operators to deactivate voice, data, SMs and mobile money services on all uncompliant SIMs, reports Pulse Ghana.A total of 25.1 million SIM cards were fully registered as of 9 February out of the 33.7 million active SIMs in the country issued by telcos, per the NCA.Figures from the Ministry of Communication and Digitization indicates that around 8.6 million SIM cards have not yet been linked to the Gnana Card, the article notes.The Ghana Chamber of Telecommunications had said it will respect the NCA directives to block uncompliant SIM cards.There was no official information on whether any SIMs had been deactivated as at the time of this report.-Philippines national ID requirement draws criticismTelecoms in the Philippines say the requirement of government-issued ID for SIM registration is preventing some subscribers from completing the process, PhilStar reports.A Globe SIM executive says that the barangay certificate is the most widely-available ID in the country, but that many rural areas cannot issue compliant certificates. Barangays are the smallest local government division in the Philippines.“The registration is digital. The subscribers have little fear. There is a little bit of hand-holding. We have seen that through time, from December 2022 to (this month). We only see the challenges today, that is why we are pushing for an extension,” says Globe Chief Sustainability and Corporate Communications Officer Yolly Crisanto.An executive of DITO Telecommunity Corp. echoed Crisanto’s criticism of the government ID requirement.A lawmaker in the country appealed to the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) to extend the process, the Manila Bulletin reports, with turnout reported at under 40 percent of mobile account subscribers. The DICT rejected the appeal.The deadline for SIM registration in April 26.
Token raises $30M to fuel growth and development of biometric authentication wearable-Apr 24, 2023, 1:08 pm EDT | Chris Burt
Token has announced a $30 million funding round to support the product development of its biometric wearable for passwordless FIDO2-compliant authentication.The investment comes from private equity and venture capital firm Grand Oaks Capital, in the form of a $20 million secured note, plus a $10 million convertible note. The funds will be used for inventory and working capital to support overall growth and future product development.Token’s wearable is a next-generation multi-factor authentication solution which is easy to implement, and stops phishing attack and data breaches, according to the announcement.The Token ring, originally launched in 2017, is activated with fingerprint biometrics, and provides proximity security through NFC connectivity and secure credentials with an EAL5+ certified secure element.“People are the leading cause of data breaches, and you see this play out almost daily as new ransomware attacks are revealed to have been caused by the human failings inherent in legacy MFA,” says Token CEO John Gunn. “Our product is engineered to be implemented in just hours and can be set up by end users in minutes to help CISOs and sysadmins quickly address this issue.”The company says its wearable technology avoids the vulnerabilities of bring-your-own-device authentication approaches and legacy MFA products.“Token checks all the boxes of a great investment for Grand Oaks – a large addressable market and a disruptive technology – which makes continued investment an easy decision for us,” states Grand Oaks Capital Chief Investment Officer David Bovenzi. “We have also seen great strides made by the Token team in addressing market needs, which is why we are confident in investing additional working capital to accelerate the company’s growth.”According to Crunchbase, Token had previously raised $22.9 million in funding, including from a series B round last year.

1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him,
3 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:
4 And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords:
5 Persia,(IRAN,IRAQ) Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet:
6 Gomer,(GERMANY) and all his bands; the house of Togarmah (TURKEY) of the north quarters, and all his bands: and many people with thee.(AFRICAN MUSLIMS,SUDAN,TUNESIA ETC)
7 Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them.
8 After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them.
9 Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee.
10 Thus saith the Lord GOD; It shall also come to pass, that at the same time shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think an evil thought:
11 And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates,
12 To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land.
13 Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all the young lions thereof, shall say unto thee, Art thou come to take a spoil? hast thou gathered thy company to take a prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to take a great spoil?(OIL IS IN SPOIL-I BELIEVE THATS WHY RUSSIA,ARAB/MUSLIMS MARCH TO ISRAEL)
14 Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say unto Gog, Thus saith the Lord GOD; In that day when my people of Israel dwelleth safely, shalt thou not know it?
15 And thou shalt come from thy place out of the north parts, thou, and many people with thee, all of them riding upon horses, a great company, and a mighty army:
16 And thou shalt come up against my people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the latter days, and I will bring thee against my land, that the heathen may know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes.
17 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Art thou he of whom I have spoken in old time by my servants the prophets of Israel, which prophesied in those days many years that I would bring thee against them?
18 And it shall come to pass at the same time when Gog shall come against the land of Israel, saith the Lord GOD, that my fury shall come up in my face.
19 For in my jealousy and in the fire (atomic bomb) of my wrath have I spoken, Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel;
20 So that the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the field, and all creeping things that creep upon the earth, and all the men that are upon the face of the earth, shall shake at my presence, and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground.
21 And I will call for a sword against him throughout all my mountains, saith the Lord GOD: every man’s sword shall be against his brother.
22 And I will plead against him with pestilence (biological,chemical,nuclear) and with blood; and I will rain upon him, and upon his bands, and upon the many people that are with him, an overflowing rain, and great hailstones, fire, and brimstone.(NUKED,THEN MIGRATING BIRDS EAT RUSSIA/ARAB/MUSLIMS FLESH)

EZEKIEL 39:1-29
1 Therefore, thou son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:
2 And I will turn thee back, and leave but the sixth part of thee,(300 MILIION RUSSIA-ARAB-MUSLIMS GET NUKED BY ISRAEL) and will cause thee to come up from the north parts, and will bring thee upon the mountains of Israel:
3 And I will smite thy bow out of thy left hand, and will cause thine arrows to fall out of thy right hand.
4 Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel, thou,(RUSSIA) and all thy bands,(RUSSIA SUPPORTED WITH WEAPONS-ARAB/MUSLIM COUNTRIES) and the people that is with thee: I will give thee unto the ravenous birds of every sort, and to the beasts of the field to be devoured.
5 Thou shalt fall upon the open field: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD.
6 And I will send a fire (ATOMIC BOMB) on Magog, and among them that dwell carelessly in the isles: and they shall know that I am the LORD.
7 So will I make my holy name known in the midst of my people Israel; and I will not let them pollute my holy name any more: and the heathen shall know that I am the LORD, the Holy One in Israel.
8 Behold, it is come, and it is done, saith the Lord GOD; this is the day whereof I have spoken.
9 And they that dwell in the cities of Israel shall go forth, and shall set on fire and burn the weapons, both the shields and the bucklers, the bows and the arrows, and the handstaves, and the spears, and they shall burn them with fire seven years:
10 So that they shall take no wood out of the field, neither cut down any out of the forests; for they shall burn the weapons with fire: and they shall spoil those that spoiled them, and rob those that robbed them, saith the Lord GOD.
11 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will give unto Gog a place there of graves in Israel, the valley of the passengers on the east of the sea: and it shall stop the noses of the passengers: and there shall they bury Gog and all his multitude: and they shall call it The valley of Hamongog.
12 And seven months shall the house of Israel be burying of them, that they may cleanse the land.
13 Yea, all the people of the land shall bury them; and it shall be to them a renown the day that I shall be glorified, saith the Lord GOD.
14 And they shall sever out men of continual employment, passing through the land to bury with the passengers those that remain upon the face of the earth, to cleanse it: after the end of seven months shall they search.
15 And the passengers that pass through the land, when any seeth a man’s bone, then shall he set up a sign by it, till the buriers have buried it in the valley of Hamongog.
16 And also the name of the city shall be Hamonah. Thus shall they cleanse the land.
17 And, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD; Speak unto every feathered fowl, and to every beast of the field, Assemble yourselves, and come; gather yourselves on every side to my sacrifice that I do sacrifice for you, even a great sacrifice upon the mountains of Israel, that ye may eat flesh, and drink blood.
18 Ye shall eat the flesh of the mighty, and drink the blood of the princes of the earth, of rams, of lambs, and of goats, of bullocks, all of them fatlings of Bashan.
19 And ye shall eat fat till ye be full, and drink blood till ye be drunken, of my sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you.
20 Thus ye shall be filled at my table with horses and chariots, with mighty men, and with all men of war, saith the Lord GOD.
21 And I will set my glory among the heathen, and all the heathen shall see my judgment that I have executed, and my hand that I have laid upon them.
22 So the house of Israel shall know that I am the LORD their God from that day and forward.
23 And the heathen shall know that the house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity: because they trespassed against me, therefore hid I my face from them, and gave them into the hand of their enemies: so fell they all by the sword.
24 According to their uncleanness and according to their transgressions have I done unto them, and hid my face from them.
25 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Now will I bring again the captivity of Jacob, and have mercy upon the whole house of Israel, and will be jealous for my holy name;
26 After that they have borne their shame, and all their trespasses whereby they have trespassed against me, when they dwelt safely in their land, and none made them afraid.
27 When I have brought them again from the people, and gathered them out of their enemies’ lands, and am sanctified in them in the sight of many nations;
28 Then shall they know that I am the LORD their God, which caused them to be led into captivity among the heathen: but I have gathered them unto their own land, and have left none of them any more there.

Can biometrics prevent school shootings? Administrators search for answers-Apr 21, 2023, 12:20 pm EDT | Joel R. McConvey
With politics complicating a legislative response to unregulated firearms, there is a push to pursue the fortification of schools with enhanced security, including biometrics.Gun safes, barriers and facial analytics-Some believe the problem lies in securing school rifles. WYFF News reports that, in Oconee County, S.C., 18 schools are getting biometrically secured gun safes for secure storage of patrol rifles that can be accessed by school resource officers (SROs) more quickly than guns locked in their cars.SROs have the exclusive ability to unlock the safes, using their fingerprints and codes.In Brazil, which has seen a spate of school shootings, Fola de Sao Paulo reports there is enthusiastic support for more comprehensive building renovation and fortification, including new barriers, metal detectors and facial recognition systems.In the 30 days leading up to April 17, more than 100 bills related to physical solutions were proposed in the legislative assemblies of 26 states.Brazil has had nine school attacks in the last eight months. In the 20 years prior to that, there were only 13.In the U.S., too, facial recognition is finding its way into schools. According to Oosto, which sells surveillance and facial recognition services, a system that uses facial scans to detect threats and persons of interest enables SROs to bypass identification verification and respond more immediately to system alerts.Not everyone agrees that biometric monitoring is the best answer.In 2020, the state of New York enacted a moratorium on biometric security systems. But many schools are wading into murky territory by pursuing grants to procure facial analytics tools.In an Oosto site post, Chief Marketing Officer Dean Nicholls cites a report from the National Centre for Education Statistics that says nearly 80 percent of elementary schools and 94 percent of high schools already use cameras in their security systems. “Students are already being surveilled,” he writes. Of course, there is a difference between passive recording to which Nicholls refers and the active identification and monitoring of individuals with biometric surveillance.According to an article by New York Focus reporter Rebecca Heilweil, despite concerns from some parents about bias, privacy and data misuse, some schools continue to file applications for state assistance to procure software that uses biometrics. Even some in the industry have flagged wobbly legal ground. Motorola Solutions, parent company of Vancouver, Canada-based Avigilon, a video surveillance vendor, claims to have had orders from four New York school districts. Executives have told state authorities that their software’s use of “appearance signatures” could violate local laws.Without more active regulation, the requests for such technology will only increase. The question remains: Will walls, lockboxes and new ways to watch keep kids safe? Sadly, there will be opportunities to find out.
Netanyahu: Israel’s response to terror is to deepen our hold on our homeland-APR 25,23-TOI
Speaking at a memorial service for victims of terror, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says Israel’s response to terror is to deepen our hold on the land.“Since we first began our national revival in the Land of Israel 170 years ago, those who seek to destroy us have spared no means to try to uproot us from our homeland,” Says Netanyahu at the Mount Herzl cemetery.Israel counts 4,255 victims of terror.“Yesterday and today, on Memorial Day, in Jerusalem and in the Binyamin region, we received another example with two additional terror attacks,” he says. “Every generation in its turn must confront the poison of incitement, the fanaticism for destruction, and the lust for killing.”“Every generation must stand fast against in the face of those who would oppress us and deepen our roots in our land.”Netanyahu says Israel will respond to terror by continuing “to deepen our hold on our homeland, continue to build, continue to create, continue to plant and to add life.”
Sudan’s warring rivals agree on US-brokered 72-hour ceasefire after hundreds killed-US Secretary of State Blinken says two sides agreed on temporary truce after ‘intense negotiations,’ with at least 427 dead and 3,700 wounded-By AFP-APR 25,23-Today, 7:23 am
KHARTOUM, Sudan — A US-brokered 72-hour ceasefire between Sudan’s warring generals officially came into effect Tuesday after 10 days of urban combat killed hundreds, wounded thousands and sparked a mass exodus of foreigners.
The Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) agreed to the ceasefire “following intense negotiations,” Secretary of State Antony Blinken said in a statement shortly before the truce took effect from midnight local time.Previous bids to pause the conflict failed to take hold, but both sides confirmed they had agreed to the three-day halt.Into the Land: A Tale of Two Cities-“This ceasefire aims to establish humanitarian corridors, allowing citizens and residents to access essential resources, healthcare, and safe zones, while also evacuating diplomatic missions,” the RSF paramilitary tweeted.In a statement on Facebook, the SAF said it would also abide by the ceasefire on condition its rivals did so.UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warned earlier that Sudan was on “the edge of the abyss” and that the violence “could engulf the whole region and beyond.”The fighting has pitted forces loyal to army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan against those of his former deputy Mohamed Hamdan Daglo, who commands the RSF.The RSF emerged from the Janjaweed militia that then-president Omar al-Bashir unleashed in Darfur, leading to war crimes charges against Bashir and others.The Forces of Freedom and Change, the main civilian bloc which the two generals ousted from power in a 2021 coup, said the truce would allow for “dialogue on the modalities of a permanent ceasefire.”At least 427 people have been killed and more than 3,700 wounded, according to UN agencies.Among the latest to die was the assistant administrative attache at Cairo’s embassy in Khartoum, Egypt’s foreign ministry said.The official was killed while heading from home to the embassy to follow up on evacuation procedures, it said.‘Corpses litter the streets’More than 4,000 people have fled the country in foreign-organized evacuations that began on Saturday.The United States and European, Middle Eastern, African and Asian nations launched emergency missions to bring to safety their embassy staff and Sudan-based citizens by road, air and sea.But millions of Sudanese are unable to flee what is one of the world’s poorest countries, with a history of military coups.They are trying to survive acute shortages of water, food, medicine and fuel as well as power and internet blackouts.UN agencies reported some Sudanese civilians were able to escape “to Chad, Egypt and South Sudan.”“We must all do everything within our power to pull Sudan back from the edge of the abyss,” Guterres said.He had also, again, called for a ceasefire.Britain requested an emergency UN Security Council meeting on Sudan, which was expected to take place Tuesday, according to a diplomat.‘Unspeakable destruction’A UN convoy carrying 700 people completed an arduous 850-kilometer (530-mile) road trip to Port Sudan on the Red Sea coast from the capital, leaving behind gunfire and explosions.The UN head of mission Volker Perthes said the convoy arrived safely.“Thirty-five hours in a not-so-comfortable convoy are certainly better than three hours’ bombing and sitting under the shells,” he said.A UN statement separately said he and other key staff will “remain in Sudan and will continue to work towards a resolution to the current crisis.”With Khartoum airport disabled after battles that left charred aircraft on the tarmac, many foreigners were airlifted from smaller airstrips to countries including Djibouti and Jordan.US special forces swooped in with Chinook helicopters Sunday to rescue diplomats and their dependents, while Britain launched a similar rescue mission.EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell said more than 1,000 EU citizens had been taken out during a “long and intense weekend” involving airlift missions by France, Germany and others.China said it had “safely evacuated” a first group of citizens and would “try every means to protect the lives, properties and safety of 1,500 plus Chinese compatriots in Sudan.”Japan said it had evacuated 45 of its nationals and their spouses and temporarily closed its embassy in Khartoum.The capital, a city of five million, has endured “more than a week of unspeakable destruction,” Norway’s ambassador Endre Stiansen wrote on Twitter after his evacuation.Nowhere is safe’One evacuee, a Lebanese man, told AFP after being bused to Port Sudan that he left only “with this T-shirt and these pajamas, all that I have with me after 17 years.”Those Sudanese who can afford to are also fleeing Khartoum on crowded buses for the more than 900-kilometer desert drive north to Egypt.Among the 800,000 South Sudanese refugees who previously fled civil war in their own country, some are choosing to return to South Sudan, with women and children crossing the border, said the UN refugee agency.In the capital, street battles have left the sky often blackened by smoke from shelled buildings and torched shops.“There was a rocket strike in our neighborhood… it is like nowhere is safe,” said resident Tagreed Abdin, an architect.Experts have long drawn links between the RSF and Russian mercenary group Wagner. Blinken earlier on Monday voiced “deep concern” that Wagner risked aggravating the war in Sudan.The military toppled Bashir in April 2019 following mass citizen protests that raised hopes for a transition to democracy.The two generals seized power in the 2021 coup, but later fell out, most recently over the planned integration of the RSF into the regular army.
Israel said to invite warring Sudanese generals for ceasefire talks-Report says military chief and paramilitary leader appear to consider offer seriously, as foreign minister stresses Jerusalem ‘working different channels’ to help reach ceasefire-By ToI Staff and Agencies-24 April 2023, 10:40 pm
Israel is offering to mediate between warring factions in Sudan and has reportedly invited their leaders to the country for ceasefire talks.Over 420 people, including at least 273 civilians, have been killed, and more than 3,700 wounded, since fighting erupted on April 15 between forces loyal to army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and those of his deputy-turned-rival Mohamed Hamdan Daglo, who commands the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF).The chaos has led foreign nations to begin evacuating their citizens, while millions of Sudanese unable to flee battles in Khartoum and across the country try to survive acute shortages of water, food, medicines, and fuel, as well as power and internet blackouts.Citing unnamed Foreign Ministry officials, the Walla news site reported that Foreign Minister Eli Cohen and the ministry’s director-general Ronen Levy have been in direct contact with Burhan and Dagalo since the fighting erupted and urged them to reach a ceasefire.Senior figures in the Mossad intelligence agency, which has spearheaded contacts with Dagalo while the Foreign Ministry manages ties with Burhan, have reportedly relayed similar messages.The Foreign Ministry officials quoted in the report said neither Burhan or Dagalo ruled out Israel’s offer to host negotiations and appeared to be considering it seriously.“Since the start of hostilities in the country, Israel has been working different channels to bring about a ceasefire and the advancement in recent days is very encouraging,” Foreign Minister Eli Cohen said in a statement to Hebrew media outlets.“If there is a way Israel could assist in ending the fighting, we would be very happy to do so,” added Cohen, who visited Sudan in February.Israel’s offer joins a flurry of diplomatic activity taking place since hostilities erupted last week as the international community attempts to broker a ceasefire. Over the weekend, Turkey also offered to host talks between the sides.According to reports, Burhan has refused to enter talks until Dagalo’s troops retreat from Khartoum. Dagalo has said he will not meet with Burhan, but is open to talks with other members of the armed forces.According to Walla, Israel has coordinated its diplomatic moves with the Biden administration and regional states such as the United Arab Emirates, updating them in advance on the invitation to the generals.Israel and Sudan agreed in 2020 to normalize diplomatic ties as part of the US-backed Abraham Accords, but a final agreement has remained elusive and the fresh hostilities threaten to make the prospect of a deal even more remote.Part of the delay in normalizing relations stemmed from a dispute between Sudan’s military and civilian leadership over whether to normalize with Israel. While Burhan had backed normalization, the effort was later put on the back burner. After Burhan and Dagalo deposed the civilian government and seized power, the US cut aid to Sudan, further setting back the initiative.Last week, a diplomatic official told The Times of Israel that Israel is in touch with Sudan’s military chiefs in a bid to bring calm while stressing that Jerusalem was not taking sides between Burhan and Dagalo, who is widely known as Hemedti.Also Monday, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warned that Sudan — already one of the world’s poorest countries, with a history of military coups — was on “the edge of the abyss” and said that the violence there “could engulf the whole region and beyond.”“We must all do everything within our power to pull Sudan back from the edge of the abyss,” Guterres said, calling again for a ceasefire.Britain has requested an emergency UN Security Council meeting on Sudan, which is expected to take place on Tuesday, according to a diplomat.Despite the evacuations, US and European officials insisted they were still engaged in trying to secure an end to the fighting. But so far the conflict has shown how little leverage they have with two generals, who appear determined to fight to the end.The US and EU have been dealing with the generals for years, trying to push them into ceding power to a democratic, civilian government. A pro-democracy uprising led to the 2019 ouster of former strongman Omar al-Bashir, but hopes were dashed when Burhan and Dagalo launched a coup in 2021.
Five wounded in terror car-ramming near busy Jerusalem market-One victim in his 80s fighting for his life; Palestinian man who plowed car into pedestrians at corner of Agrippas and Ki’ach streets shot dead-By Emanuel Fabian-24 April 2023, 5:17 pm
Five people were wounded in a car-ramming terror attack near Jerusalem’s Mahane Yehuda market on Monday afternoon, police and medics said.The Magen David Adom ambulance service said its medics treated five people at the scene on the corner of Agrippas and Ki’ach streets, including an elderly man in serious condition.The man, in his 80s, later underwent surgery for multisystemic injuries and doctors were continuing to fight to save his life, said Dr. Alon Schwartz, head of trauma at Shaare Zedek hospital.A woman in her 30s was listed in moderate condition with injuries to her limbs and will likely also require surgery, Schwartz said.Three others were listed in good condition, including a 50-year-old man and two men aged 25. The five were taken to Shaare Zedek and Hadassah Ein Kerem hospitals in Jerusalem.Graphic amateur video footage showed an armed civilian shooting into the car’s window as a wounded man lay on the hood of the vehicle. Several other victims were seen strewn across the street.“A citizen who witnessed the incident and was near the scene shot and neutralized the terrorist, and later he was declared dead at the scene,” police said in a statement, calling the ramming a terror attack.The Palestinian driver was identified as 39-year-old Hatem Najma, a father of five from the Beit Safafa neighborhood, which straddles the Green Line that marked Israel’s pre-1967 boundaries. He had no known prior security offenses, but was known to have mental heath issues.The attack occurred outside the Mahane Yehuda outdoor market, or shuk, a popular area normally crowded with shoppers.The area was filled with people ahead of the start on Monday evening of Memorial Day, when most stores close.Police said the driver “accelerated and deliberately hit a number of pedestrians, some of whom were crossing the road,” near the market.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also called the incident a terror attack.“Minutes ago, not far from here, there was another attempt to murder Israeli citizens. This terror attack reminds us that the Land of Israel and the State of Israel were acquired through many tribulations,” Netanyahu said during a ceremony ahead of Memorial Day at the nearby Yad Lebanim Memorial center.Israel will mark Memorial Day for soldiers, terror victims and others starting Monday night ahead of Independence Day Tuesday night, a period when emotions and tensions often run high. A Palestinian stabbing attack on Independence Day in the central city of Elad last year left four dead and several more injured.Tensions between Israel and the Palestinians have been high for over a year, with the Israeli military conducting near-nightly raids in the West Bank amid a series of deadly Palestinian terror attacks.Palestinian attacks in Israel and the West Bank have left 19 people dead since the beginning of the year and several more seriously hurt.At least 92 Palestinians have been killed since the beginning of the year, most of them while carrying out attacks or during clashes with security forces, but some were uninvolved civilians and others were killed under circumstances that are being investigated.Last week, two Israeli men were shot and wounded in a terror attack in East Jerusalem’s Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood. The alleged Palestinian assailant was arrested less than a day later in Nablus.
Air defense system said activated near base in Isfahan, Iran-Israel said to shell Hezbollah position in southern Syria, drop threatening flyers-Syrian troops warned to stop cooperating with Iran-backed group after reported artillery strikes; names, photos of senior Syrian officer, Hezbollah member shown on leaflets-By Emanuel Fabian-24 April 2023, 2:57 am
The Israeli military shelled a site in southern Syria, just across the border from the Golan Heights, early Monday morning, Syrian media reported, with an opposition journalist claiming the position was used by the Iran-backed Hezbollah terror group.Shortly after the strike, the Israel Defense Forces reportedly dropped threatening pamphlets in the area, warning Syrian soldiers to stop cooperating with Hezbollah.The early morning artillery strike against a Syrian Army observation post near the Druze town of Hader in the northern Quneitra province was reported by Sham FM, a Syrian radio station affiliated with the regime of Syrian President Bashar Assad.The Arabic-language service of Russian state media network Sputnik, viewed as a propaganda channel, said a Syrian security source acknowledged the attack by the “Israeli aggression,” adding that the damage at the site was being assessed before an official announcement is made.The state-run SANA news agency, which often reports on strikes attributed to Israel, did not immediately confirm the attack.No injuries were immediately reported. Short clips circulating on social media showed what appeared to be an artillery shell flying across the night sky.According to an opposition-affiliated journalist, flyers were dropped in the area, in which the Israeli military appeared to take responsibility for the overnight strike. The IDF usually does not publicly acknowledge carrying out strikes in Syria, under its general policy of ambiguity regarding its efforts against Hezbollah in the country.The flyers, which were written in Arabic and addressed to Syrian Army soldiers, matched the style of similar leaflets that have been dropped in Syria in the past. The IDF refused to comment on the matter.“We are closely watching and aware of the ongoing intelligence cooperation with Hezbollah within the Syrian army’s positions in the region, including near the Israeli border. Your cooperation with Hezbollah has… brought you more harm than benefit. Cooperation with Hezbollah leads to harm!” the flyer read.The flyer also included a map marking the towns of Hader and Quneitra, and images of two men, a senior Syrian officer, alleged to have been aiding Hezbollah, and a senior commander in the Iran-backed group.The men in the images, apparently taken by military surveillance cameras during a tour of the area, were named as Maj. Gen. Samer ad-Dana, Syria’s chief of military intelligence, and Tariq Maher, the commander of Hezbollah’s intelligence headquarters in Syria.Separately, Israel’s Kan public broadcaster reported early Monday that Iranian air defense systems were activated near a military base in the city of Isfahan in central Iran.Unconfirmed reports on social media said anti-aircraft systems were deployed to intercept a suspicious drone near an air base of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC).While Israel’s military does not as a rule comment on specific strikes in Syria, it has admitted to conducting hundreds of sorties against Iran-backed groups attempting to gain a foothold in the country, over the last decade. The IDF says it also attacks arms shipments believed to be bound for those groups, chief among them Hezbollah, an Iranian proxy. Additionally, airstrikes attributed to Israel have repeatedly targeted Syrian air defense systems.The alleged Israeli artillery strikes came days after Israel also reportedly shelled positions belonging to Hezbollah near the Syrian town of Saidah, also in the Quneitra countryside, on Tuesday. Similar threatening pamphlets were dropped in the area following the strike.The IDF has repeatedly accused Assad’s military of actively assisting Hezbollah and warned it against this, both through flyers dropped along the border and through overt, public appeals, in some cases naming the Syrian and Hezbollah officials involved, including officers from Syria’s 90th Brigade and 1st Division.Israel appears to have stepped up its activities in Syria recently. Earlier this month, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant warned Iran and Hezbollah that Israel would not tolerate any efforts to harm the country or its citizens after a man was seriously wounded in a Megiddo bomb attack blamed on the Iran-backed organization.Israel is alleged to have carried out a number of strikes in Syria this month, including one that killed two members of Iran’s IRGC.After that strike, a suspected Iranian drone launched from Syria was brought down over Israeli airspace.Several days later, six rockets were launched from southern Syria at the Golan Heights in two separate barrages hours apart, with three landing in Israeli territory, the military said. The IDF responded with artillery strikes in response to the rocket attack.Times of Israel staff contributed to this report.

7 And I heard another out of the altar say, Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments.

9 And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory.
Temperatures in 2023 could be record breaking with rapidly developing El Niño-Scott Sutherland-Mon, April 24, 2023 at 11:30 a.m. EDT
As soon as the stubborn multi-year La Niña finally came to an end, global temperatures soared, and if a rapidly intensifying El Niño takes its place, this entire year could end as the hottest ever on record.March 2023 is now the 2nd hottest March ever recorded for the globe, according to NASA, NOAA, the Japanese Meteorological Agency, and the EU's Copernicus Climate Change Service. The only March warmer was in 2016 — a year now characterized as the hottest on record overall. Mainly, 2016's top ranking was due to human-caused climate change largely from burning fossil fuels, but there was a noticeable contribution by the strongest El Niño we’ve ever experienced.This time series of March global temperatures from 1850-2023 shows March 2016 as the hottest month of March on record, with March 2023 now ranking as second hottest. (NOAA NCEI)This 2nd hottest March follows a January that ranked as 7th warmest and the 4th or 5th warmest February we’ve seen in over 140 years.The rapid advancement in the rankings for March is partly due to rising sea surface temperatures in the equatorial Pacific Ocean. At the start of the month, forecasters proclaimed the end of the persistent triple-dip La Niña. For nearly three years, this pattern of colder-than-normal ocean temperatures had been keeping overall global temperatures slightly cooler.With that pattern now switched back to normal (aka “ENSO-neutral”), we are seeing global warming unfiltered again.And even with only three full months of data so far, NOAA forecasters are already over 60 per cent sure that 2023 will rank among the top two hottest years, and over 50 per cent sure that the year will rank as the hottest on record.This ‘horserace’ graph shows the year-to-date temperature rankings for the hottest year on record so far. Thus, each consecutive month is the average of the months of the year up to that point (for example, March 2023, at the end of the black line, is therefore the average of January, February and March 2023). Even with only three months tallied so far in 2023, the year is spiking up into the top rankings. (NOAA NCEI)-El Niño set to raise the heat-With March temperatures ranking so high, we have a clear view of just how much climate change has advanced since 2016, as this normal month came close to matching the same month during a “monster” El Niño year. And now, forecasters are seeing indications of a rapid transition into the next El Niño for this summer.According to the Climate Prediction Center’s April ENSO update, there is a greater than 60 per cent chance that El Niño conditions will develop by the end of July. That probability goes up to roughly 75 per cent by the end of August, and over 80 per cent for the rest of the year.The official El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) forecast, as issued by NOAA's Climate Prediction Center on April 13, 2023, is overwhelmingly in favour of the development of an El Niño pattern across the equatorial Pacific Ocean this summer. (NOAA CPC)As a result of this, NOAA has gone from ending the La Niña Warning at the beginning of March to calling an El Niño Watch just one month later.Ocean heat is already at record levels now that the La Niña has ended. That, alone, could provide 2023 with the potential to become a record-breaking year for global temperatures.Depending on how quickly the coming El Niño develops and how strong it becomes, by the end of December 2023, temperatures could easily surpass all other years we’ve seen so far. Based on the pattern that has played out in the past, especially in 2015 and 2016, next year will likely be even hotter.(Thumbnail image courtesy NASA's Goddard Institute of Space Science)
Powerful solar storm generates dazzling auroras across Canada-Powerful solar storm generates dazzling auroras across Canada-Digital Writers-Mon, April 24, 2023 at 11:54 a.m. EDT
If you had clear skies Sunday night, then you may have been treated to a spectacular showing of the aurora borealis.Sunday night’s auroras were caused by a large coronal mass ejection (CME) on Friday that spewed a cloud of solar plasma towards the Earth. Fortunately, the densest part of the plasma cloud missed the Earth and we only got the edge of it. As a result, some people may have experienced minor electronic interference on Sunday afternoon. The showstopper, however, was the vibrant northern lights dancing across the sky.The auroras could be seen over the majority of Canada, if it wasn’t overcast for your area, that is. The solar storm was so powerful, in fact, that the lights could be seen well south of the border.This particular CME was a ‘halo’ CME due to the solar flare having a cone structure, which makes the cloud of solar plasma that ejects outwards look like a large ring (or halo).
A spring swing sees a temperature swap in Canada to end April-Digital Writers-Mon, April 24, 2023 at 7:42 p.m. EDT
While parts of Canada have been teased by mid-summer heat this month, you can expect a more typical end to the month for some. It could even be a bit more disappointing than usual with colder-than-normal air dominating a lot of the country.However, there is a small exception to this chillier-than-normal pattern: Parts of Western Canada.A ridge of high pressure is forecast to build across British Columbia and Alberta for the final weekend of the month, bringing temperatures that will climb into the low and even mid-20s for a couple days.This will be a welcome forecast for most, as April has featured below-seasonal temperatures dominating much of the West, marked by recent snowfalls for B.C. and blizzard conditions for the southern Prairies.A cool and wet pattern is forecast for the final week of April and into the start of May across Ontario and Quebec.A pair of upper lows will likely position themselves over the Great Lakes over the next week or two, delivering rounds of wet, unsettled weather and below-seasonal temperatures.Fair weather conditions with some periods of showers or flurries can be expected across Atlantic Canada, but residents can thank an area of high pressure located across Labrador from sparing the region of any major precipitation totals until at least the beginning of May.There’s no end in sight for the dry stretch of weather across Atlantic Canada. Halifax is on pace for the driest April since 1966, with just more than 20 mm of rainfall recorded.The Newfoundland forecast is suspiciously consistent, but a strong, predictable north wind blowing off the icy Atlantic Ocean will keep St. John’s daytime highs at 2°C for at least eight days.It’s not a great sign for St. John’s that the warmest day of the year so far occurred on Jan. 15.With files from Kelly Sonnenburg, Tyler Hamilton and Rachel Modestino, meteorologists at The Weather Network.
UAE spacecraft snaps close-up of Mars’ little moon-Emirati space agency releases pictures taken by Amal probe from within 62 miles of Deimos last month, the closest a craft has been to the tiny satellite in over 45 years-By Marcia Dunn-24 April 2023, 11:55 pm
CAPE CANAVERAL, Florida (AP) — A spacecraft around Mars has sent back the most detailed photos yet of the red planet’s little moon.The United Arab Emirates’ Amal spacecraft flew within 62 miles (100 kilometers) of Deimos last month and the close-up shots were released Monday. Amal — Arabic for Hope — got a two-for-one when Mars photobombed some of the images. It was the closest a spacecraft has been to Deimos in almost a half-century.The spacecraft also observed the little explored far side of the odd-shaped, cratered moon, just 9 miles by 7 miles by 7 miles (15 kilometers by 12 kilometers by 12 kilometers).Mars’ other moon, Phobos, is almost double that size and better understood, since it orbits much closer to Mars — just 3,700 miles (6,000 kilometers) away, the closest of any planet’s moon in our solar system.Deimos’ orbit around Mars stretches 14,000 miles (23,000 kilometers) out. That’s close to the inner part of the spacecraft’s orbit — “which is what made observing Deimos such a compelling idea,” said the mission’s lead scientist Hessa al-Matroushi.“Phobos has got most of the attention up until now — now it’s Deimos’ turn!” she added in an email.Al-Matroushi and other scientists with the UAE Space Agency said these new images indicate Deimos is not an asteroid that got captured in Mars’ orbit eons ago, the leading theory until now. Instead, they say the the moon appears to be of Martian origin — perhaps from the bigger Martian moon or from Mars itself.The findings were presented Monday at the European Geosciences Union’s general assembly in Vienna.Amal will continue to sweep past Deimos this year, but not as closely as the March 10 encounter, according to al-Matroushi.NASA’s Viking 2 came within 19 miles (30 kilometers) of Deimos in 1977. Since then, other spacecraft have photographed Deimos, but from much farther away.Amal rocketed to Mars on July 19, 2020, one day shy of the 50th anniversary of humanity’s first moon landing — Earth’s moon, that is — by Apollo 11’s Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin.

ROMANS 1:18-32
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.

23 And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.
24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.

Advocacy groups are suing to block an emergency rule restricting gender-affirming care expected to take effect this week in Missouri.April 25, 2023-Arzu
(CNN) Advocacy groups sued the Missouri attorney general on Monday after announcing an “emergency rule” restricting transgender care for minors and adults — a rule expected to take effect this week, his office announced this month.Gender affirming care Medically necessaryEvidence-based care that uses a multidisciplinary approach to help a person transition from their assigned gender — the gender assigned at birth — to their confirmed gender, the gender they want to know.New reign People often undergo “life-changing interventions” such as puberty suppression or sex reassignment surgery “without any talk therapy,” and say emergency action is “required by compelling government interest and the need to protect public health.” Safety and Welfare of Missourians”.Among other conditions, the provision states that it is “unlawful” for individuals or health care providers to provide gender-affirming care. , a persistent and intense pattern of gender dysphoria.”The rule takes effect Thursday and expires Feb. 6, 2024, according to a press release from Attorney General Andrew Bailey’s office.The petitioners sued to stop the provision, asking the Circuit Court of St. Louis County to declare it invalid “because the Attorney General lacks statutory authority to promulgate it,” among other legal arguments. Advocacy groups Representing Southampton Community Health in St. Louis and many other providers and patients.“The rule targets gender-affirming care with unprecedented and unique restrictions, effectively barring the provision of this necessary, safe and effective care to many transgender people in Missouri,” the petition said.The suit seeks a stay of the rule’s expected Thursday start date and an award of reasonable fees and costs and any other relief the court deems just and proper, the petition states.CNN has reached out to Bailey’s office for comment.Office of the Attorney General said Earlier Monday the restriction was “based on dozens of scientific studies and reports, which are cited in the endnotes.”One organization that focuses on issues in transgender health is the World Professional Association for Transgender Health and one of them SubsidiariesThe United States Professional Association for Transgender Health said the rule was based on “flawed reporting.”“The emergency regulation issued by Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey is based on manipulated statistics, flawed reporting and incomplete data and prevents the delivery of medically necessary care,” the associations said. said last monthA reaction Previous notification From Bailey’s office about the upcoming regulation.In a petition filed Monday, transgender patients at Southampton Community Healthcare, one of the plaintiffs, “expressed to its providers that they feared they would be denied continuation of hormone therapy if they shared symptoms of other mental health issues.”“Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey’s emergency order is a baseless and discriminatory attempt to limit health care options for transgender people, who already face many barriers to accessing necessary and life-saving medical care,” said Dr. Samuel Dochtrop of Southampton Community Healthcare.

Sex-determination Based Abortion Perpetuates Gender Inequalities: Delhi HC-Published By: Pragati Pal-PTI-Last Updated: April 25, 2023, 19:05 IST
Abortion based on sex determination is a powerful method of perpetuating gender inequalities, the Delhi High Court has said, emphasising the law must have teeth to sternly deal with such situations till attitudinal changes at the family level are achieved.The restriction of access to foetal sex information is directly related to the problem of misogyny which affects women of all socioeconomic backgrounds not only in this country but globally as well, the court said.Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma made the observations while passing a slew of directions to the authorities for strict implementation of the Pre-Conception and Pre-Natal Diagnostic Techniques Act, 1994 (PCPNDT Act).The high court’s order came while refusing to quash an FIR against a doctor who was booked under several sections of the PCPNDT Act after a raid was conducted at a hospital in New Delhi on information regarding illegal sex determination.It, however, set aside as bad in law the cognisance taken by the trial court in the absence of any complaint filed by the appropriate authority under Section 28 of the Act.The court said the well-intended and well-implemented PCPNDT Act and Rules are meant to intervene to combat gender imbalance.“The social context of the Act as well as the offence need to be remembered, and it has to be kept in mind that the gender-based violence, whether be it the safety of a female child after birth or even when she is not born, is not only the concern of the State but also of the Courts of law," it said.“While the attitudinal changes have to start from every family, till the said goal is achieved, the law must have teeth to deal with such situations with a stern hand," Justice Sharma said.The Act undoubtedly has had a positive impact to some extent in creating fear of conducting such tests, however, the need for a safe womb for a female foetus was another issue which was sought to be addressed by this Act, he said.The court said the past sex ratio date demonstrates a preference for male offspring, and various governments have implemented several schemes for ensuring the safety of a girl child, however, attitudinal changes are essential to ensure the safety of an unborn female.“Sex-determination-based abortion is a powerful method of perpetuating gender inequalities. The restriction of access to foetal sex information is directly related to the problem of misogyny, which affects women of all socioeconomic backgrounds not only in this country but globally as well. The purpose of controlling knowledge of sex or gender is to protect expectant women and their unborn child," the HC said in the 50-page judgement.It said the dual violence faced by a woman on the basis of her gender in itself is “abhorrent". Earlier a woman was pressured by her family members to give birth only to a male child, however, in certain situations, she herself wanted a boy child considering the fact that once she was old, she would have a son to support her, it added.“Women also had insecurities in certain cases that in case they were not able to give birth to a male child, they would not be respected or valued by family members as well as the society," it said.It said the contents of the Act and Rules should be brought to the notice of the appropriate district authorities, investigating officers, as well as prosecutors.“Training and sensitisation programmes can be organised for the officials who are concerned with the implementation of the PCPNDT Act," it said.The HC said it would be appropriate if online portals and websites are created for lodging complaints and to notify and inform the general public about the procedure, place and mechanism to lodge such a complaint.The court said its observations and directions should be placed before the Union ministries of Law and Justice as well as Health and Family Welfare and the Delhi government, Delhi Police and Director (Academics), and the Delhi Judicial Academy.The concerned ministries or departments of central and state government will ensure that such steps are taken and compliance is filed within three months, it said.The HC said although India has made considerable progress towards achieving gender equality, the preference for sex determination still exists and despite efforts to eliminate this bias, it has been challenging to completely eradicate it.“This statement is being made to emphasise the effectiveness of current legislation and the above observations made by this court are intended to highlight the impact of existing laws and regulations on society. This court’s aim is to demonstrate how these laws have influenced people’s behaviour in their day-to-day lives," it said.Read all the Latest India News here-(This story has not been edited by News18 staff and is published from a syndicated news agency feed)

Netanyahu meets with Democrats as he looks to buck notion of strained US ties-PM discusses Iran nuclear threat and expanding Abraham Accords with group of lawmakers led by House minority leader Hakeem Jeffries, amid heat over judicial push-By Jacob Magid-24 April 2023, 6:57 pm
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met Monday with a delegation of American congressional Democrats, as he continued to dismiss the notion that his government’s ties with the party and the United States more broadly were strained.The meeting with the 12-member delegation led by House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries took place in Jerusalem, against the backdrop of polling showing waning popularity for the longtime Israeli leader among both parties in Washington.Already unpopular with Democrats due to strains during the Barack Obama administration, Netanyahu has seen his image take a further hit since the establishment of his new hardline government four months ago, and he has yet to receive a hotly anticipated White House invitation.The Israeli cabinet has butted heads with US President Biden administration over its effort to overhaul the judiciary as well as its policies toward the Palestinians.The Prime Minister’s Office said Netanyahu used the Monday meeting to focus on two favored topics — the Iranian nuclear threat and expanding the Abraham Accords.“The prime minister thanked Congressman Jeffries and the members of the delegation for their support for the State of Israel and emphasized to them the importance of the relationship between Israel and the United States,” Netanyahu’s office said.Aside from Jeffries, the delegation included Reps. Gregory Meeks, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Yvette Clarke, Dean Phillips and Sara Jacobs.Also sitting in on the meeting were Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer, who has served as a point-man for Netanyahu on relations with the US, and US Ambassador to Israel Tom Nides.In an interview on CBS’s “Face the Nation” a day earlier, the premier acknowledged shrinking support for Israel among Democrats but noted that it began before his current government came to power and can be traced to the “demonization” of Israel in the media, which he said emphasizes the “collateral damage” incurred by Palestinians in the process of Israel defending itself from terror.Netanyahu was presented with the results of a recent Gallup poll that showed, for the first time, Democrats are likelier to sympathize with Palestinians than with Israelis.“I think we have to work harder to persuade our Democratic colleagues — or those of our Democratic colleagues who forget perhaps that Israel is the solitary democracy in the Middle East — that America has no better friend and no better ally than Israel,” Netanyahu said.A separate Pew Research Center poll from last week showed that Americans are more likely than not to see Netanyahu in a negative light, and a plurality of young Republicans have never heard of the longtime conservative premier.Still, the seniority of the delegation in Israel this week also indicated that the Democratic Party’s leadership remains closely invested in Israel, despite the hardline nature of the current government.Netanyahu was pressed during the Sunday interview on why he is willing to meet with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who is slated to announce his candidacy for president, when the Israeli premier already is seen as overly close to the Republican party.“Of course [I’ll meet DeSantis], I meet with everyone, Republican and Democrat,” he responded. “It’s my job, and I think it’s important for Israel’s bipartisan support in the US.”Biden said last month that Netanyahu would not be invited to the White House in the “near term,” noting his distress over the government’s judicial overhaul effort and urging the premier to “walk away” from the legislation it had been advancing on the matter.Netanyahu said Sunday that he “valued” Israel’s alliance with the US and his personal friendship with Biden, and insisted that nothing can “get in the way of that.”“It’s an internal matter we have to resolve, and the way we’re doing it is by seeking consensus,” he said, pointing to ongoing negotiations at the President’s Residence in Jerusalem aimed at reaching a compromise with the opposition on the judicial overhaul. The talks were launched after Netanyahu agreed last month to temporarily pause the legislative blitz in response to massive pushback at home and abroad.
