Mystery killer whales spotted by scientists off coast of Chile 'likely to be new species'

Mystery killer whales spotted by scientists off coast of Chile 'likely to be new species'A killer whale that could be a new species is to be studied by scientists for the first time after it was seen off the coast of southern Chile. A team of international researchers have collected genetic samples from a group of orcas roaming the sub-Antarctic waters off the tip of South America. For decades, fishermen and tourists had returned with tales and even photos of killer whales in the region that look distinctly different from others.

Everyone's against bigotry, right? Not 23 House Republicans, apparently

Everyone's against bigotry, right? Not 23 House Republicans, apparentlyIn the wake of Ilhan Omar’s remarks on the pro-Israel lobby, a resolution condemning antisemitism, Islamophobia and racism was too much for some in the GOP The Republican representative Matt Gaetz hosted a Holocaust denier at the State of the Union address. Photograph: Alex Wong/Getty Images Twenty-three Republicans voted against a House resolution condemning “antisemitism, Islamophobia, racism and other forms of bigotry” that was passed by 407 of their colleagues of both political parties. But few expect the US political and news media apparatus to shift into outrage mode over the refusal of so many Republican lawmakers to publicly disavow something so abhorrent as plain, old-fashioned bigotry and racism. Where’s the outrage over the 23 GOP members who voted NO on a resolution condemning bigotry today?Oh, there’s none?Did they get called out, raked over, ambushed in halls and relentlessly asked why not?No? Okay. Got it.— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) March 8, 2019 Republicans are voting against a non binding resolution against bigotry which tbh is pretty on brand.— Brian Schatz (@brianschatz) March 7, 2019 Republicans who voted against the resolution have been busy justifying their vote on Friday, with some placing their stand against anti-racism in the context of seeking to focus on condemning Democratic congresswoman Ilhan Omar’s criticism of the pro-Israel lobby, which has been labeled by some as antisemitic. The House Republican conference chair, Liz Cheney, called the vote “a sham put forward by Democrats to avoid condemning one of their own and denouncing vile antisemitism.” Other dissident Republicans also took umbrage with the resolution not mentioning Omar by name. I voted NO on the ridiculous resolution that purported to condemn speech that is not at issue. Rep. Omar has made specific multiple anti-Jewish statements. The resolution failed to mention her or her statements. So I will: I condemn anti-Jewish hate speech by Rep. Omar. pic.twitter.com/GRkS0PtHNZ— Paul Gosar (@DrPaulGosar) March 7, 2019 But some had different ideas, portraying their refusal to condemn bigotry as a defense of white people. Congressman Mo Brooks of Alabama released a statement in which he said he could not sign on to a vote that did not include discrimination against Caucasians and Christians. “The failure to specifically state opposition to discrimination against Caucasian-Americans and Christians, while reflective of Socialist Democrat priorities and values, is, by omission, fatal to the bill,” he said. Others, like the New York congressman Peter King, had even less inclusive ideas about what the anti-bigotry measure should have mentioned: namely, cops. Rep Pete King said one of the reasons he voted against the resolution is bc it didn’t mention police being targeted, only mentioned police targeting others. “There were more cops killed than Pacific Islanders” last year, he said— Daniel Newhauser (@dnewhauser) March 7, 2019 Nowhere in any of their statements were any mention of the long history of bigotry and antisemitism from Republicans, or, indeed the Islamophobia and racism some see lying at the heart of the entire Omar ordeal. The Iowa Republican Steve King, who among many other things in a prolific history of racist statements, lamented back in January that “white nationalist” had become a pejorative, simply voted “present”. King was stripped of his House committee seats that month after Republicans looked the other way at his behavior for years. A reminder that Rep. Matt Gaetz brought a Holocaust denier to the State of the Union address. He's upset by anti-Semitism. https://t.co/tH33HaZnCo— (((JonathanWeisman))) (@jonathanweisman) March 7, 2019 Congressman Matt Gaetz used his time during debate on the issue of bigotry to defend Donald Trump against allegations of Russian collusion. Not mentioned was his recently hosting a Holocaust denier and infamous alt-right troll at the State of the Union address as a personal guest. “It is an insult to the memories of those killed in the Holocaust, to their families, and to the Jewish community to bring to the State of the Union as your guest a Holocaust denier,” the Anti-Defamation League wrote in a letter to Gaetz at the time. Nor did any Republicans bring up the president’s own history of racist and antisemitic statements, like saying there were “very fine people on both sides” after a violent white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, or his lengthy record of trafficking in Jewish stereotypes and frequent use of dehumanizing references to immigrants coming to “infest” the country. In short the Republican backlash to something seemingly so anodyne and harmless as an anti-bigotry resolution revealed to many critics what some Republicans were actually after: punishing Omar specifically, not simply because of what she said, but because of her ethnic and religious identity while saying it. So just to be clear: A Somali-American Democrat engages in repeated anti-Semitism, and Democrats pass a resolution that condemns "white supremacists" (and gets in a reference to Charlottesville).— Kimberley Strassel (@KimStrassel) March 7, 2019 But Omar actually voted for the resolution condemning antisemitism and other forms of bigotry, unlike her 23 Republican detractors. Something that may have turned the whole affair from a Democratic crisis into a Republican backfire. What an utterly bizarre backfire. This was supposed to be awkward for Democrats because it was an unofficial rebuke of Rep. Ilhan Omar.Yet in the end Omar voted to condemn anti-Semitism and 26 Republicans (and counting) voted not to.— Paul McLeod (@pdmcleod) March 7, 2019

Mexico's 'hearts and minds' battle to loosen organized crime's grip

Mexico's 'hearts and minds' battle to loosen organized crime's gripThe central town of Santa Rosa de Lima, a few miles east of Salamanca, home to one of the nation's main oil refineries, is close to a center of the nation's auto industry. It is also a microcosm of the lawlessness permeating swathes of Mexico where cartels have for years replaced the state as benefactors, providing jobs and handouts in return for residents' loyalty. Lopez Obrador said he was winning the battle for hearts and minds against a gang of fuel thieves in Santa Rosa.

Trump Says He'd Be Disappointed in Kim If Missile Site Rebuilt“I would be very disappointed if that were happening,” Trump told reporters at the White House on Wednesday. Trump abruptly ended a summit with Kim last week in Hanoi after the president said the North Korean leader asked for all U.S. sanctions to be lifted in exchange for the dismantling of the country’s main nuclear complex. Two days later, new images from Beyond Parallel, part of the Washington-based Center for Strategic and International Studies, showed that North Korea was rebuilding a long-range rocket site at the Sohae Launch Facility.

EU makes counter-offer as Brexit pressure rises

EU makes counter-offer as Brexit pressure risesThe EU's chief Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier on Friday proposed that Britain could leave the bloc's customs union after the divorce though the offer would not include Northern Ireland which will anger London. The last minute-bid by Barnier comes just days before British Parliament is due to vote on a withdrawal deal agreed between the two sides, in which the fate of the Irish border is seen as a key issue. Both the EU and Great Britain want to prevent a "hard border" that would bring controls between the British province of Northern Ireland and EU-member Ireland after the Brexit.

Can a man wear trainers at work?

Can a man wear trainers at work?The news this week that Goldman Sachs had issued a decree relaxing its dress codes comes as no surprise; formalwear has taken an almighty battering in the last decade, with a huge decline in suit sales and millennials opting for casual, sports-inflected attire. Which is perhaps appropriate; fewer of us sit behind mahogany desks these days like Captains of Industry. Our lives are much more dynamic and fluid than those of the be-suited Baby Boomers. Hot desking, We Works cultures and a boom in tech and media industries have seen to that. But there’s one quandary that the city boys at Goldman Sachs - and readers and colleagues who raise the subject with me - always mull over:  what to wear on their feet? See, then, the rise of the smart trainer. Leather trainers, £170, Grenson Smart trainers, which have nothing to do with track and field or the gym and are most definitely for a cityfied, office-centric environment, have been a bubbling menswear phenomenon since Lanvin created the DBB1 trainer, a glossy patent leather shoe that became a sell-out cult item in the early 2010s. Men might traditionally blanche at the idea of wearing these trainers in anything but a casual set-up, but best approach is to think of it not as dressing down, but that the humble trainer has punched up and elevated itself to new style heights. And as we segue into spring and the warmer months, this is particularly pertinent. Heavy-duty brogues and Oxfords of winter start feeling cumbersome, but the likes of espadrilles and deck shoes still fall too far into the spectrum of “holiday wardrobe”. Stan Smith trainers, £74.95, Adidas The smart trainer’s your saviour here; designed with the clean sophistication of a shoe but with the lightness and dynamism of a trainer; so much so that Italian artisanal footwear brand Tod’s trademarked their version ‘“Shoeker” earlier this year; a hybrid creation that traverses the two. What to look for in the smart trainer? A minimal, smart design that doesn’t come with the styling tricks and technology of a sports trainer. Look for a subtle colour palette, simple sole and also materials that will elevate it vastly - instead of tech mesh, plastics and nylons, opt for suedes and leathers. These are the subtle details that will make it a happy partner to a suit or work-appropriate chinos and  you’ll be running streaks ahead in the style stakes.

Ilhan Omar comments: Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez defend congresswoman over anti-semitism claimsProminent progressives including Senator Bernie Sanders and Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez have come to the defence of Representative Ilhan Omar amid controversy following her criticism of pro-Israel groups and politicians, which some have deemed anti-semitic. Mr Sanders, who is Jewish, said that he believes the attacks on Ms Omar are aimed at silencing discussion of American foreign policy with regards to Israel. “What I fear is going on in the House now is an effort to target Congresswoman Omar as a way of stifling that debate,” Mr Sanders, who is top democratic presidential candidate, said in a statement.

Trump Spared From Stormy ‘Hush’ Deal Fight But Peril Lingers

Trump Spared From Stormy ‘Hush’ Deal Fight But Peril LingersIt wasn’t a big surprise as the president had agreed six months ago not to enforce the deal to keep the pornographic actress known as Stormy Daniels quiet. It’s Trump’s second win in the headline-grabbing litigation with Clifford after the same Los Angeles federal judge threw out her defamation lawsuit last year and ordered her to pay $293,000 for Trump’s legal expenses. Trump’s former fixer and lawyer, Michael Cohen, testified to a congressional committee last month that Trump Organization official Allen Weisselberg was present when Trump directed him to pay the hush money in the days before the election and said Trump personally reimbursed him.

World's biggest sovereign fund to dump oil and gas stocks: Norway

World's biggest sovereign fund to dump oil and gas stocks: NorwayNorway's sovereign wealth fund, the world's biggest and which is fuelled by petrodollars, will divest its oil and gas holdings to reduce its exposure to the oil sector, the Norwegian government announced on Friday. While the decision is based solely on financial considerations and not on the environment or climate change, a divestment by an investor worth more than $1 trillion will undoubtedly be seen as a major blow to polluting fossil fuels. The government of Norway, the biggest hydrocarbon producer in western Europe, said it would exclude companies classified as exploration and production companies from the fund.

Debate over anti-Semitism charges exposes divide in Democratic PartySome Democrats, including several U.S. senators who are seeking the party's 2020 presidential nomination, warned that party leaders were playing into Republicans' hands and had stymied legitimate debate over U.S.-Israel policy. The House, which is controlled by Democrats, approved the resolution condemning anti-Semitism, anti-Muslim discrimination and other forms of bigotry by a 407-to-23 vote. The vote came less than a week after Representative Ilhan Omar, one of the two first Muslim women elected to Congress, made statements at a Washington event that were denounced by some as anti-Semitic.

9 Interior Design Trends to Look Out for in 2019

9 Interior Design Trends to Look Out for in 2019An October 2018 report from the Remodeling Futures Program at the Joint Center for Housing Studies of Harvard University projected that remodeling spending is expected to grow to more than $350 billion in the third quarter of 2019. Whether you're renovating your home for yourself, updating your home to sell or looking to spice up a living space that you rent, you'll see some new trends entering the interior design field this year -- and others easing out of the spotlight.

Trump’s Reagan Moment — and Ours

Trump’s Reagan Moment — and OursThe verdict is in on Trump’s refusal to strike a deal with North Korea’s Kim Jong-un at their summit in Hanoi last week — or more precisely two verdicts are in. The media and the usual Trump critics have pronounced the summit a disaster: “How the Trump-Kim Summit Failed: Big Threats, Big Egos, Bad Bets,” is how the New York Times portrayed it. The other verdict comes from Trump admirers who have compared Trump’s performance with Ronald Reagan’s at Reykjavík in 1986, when Reagan walked away from a deal with Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev regarding nuclear weapons — a walkout that most historians now concede represented a watershed in U.S.–Soviet relations and led ultimately to the end of the Cold War.As it happens, the admirers are more correct than the critics. But it’s important to understand why the comparison with Reagan is not farfetched — and why in this case President Trump has a much stronger hand to play with the North Koreans than Reagan had with Gorbachev.A little history is in order. Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev held their first-ever summit in Geneva the previous year, and continued their discussion regarding reducing their respective nuclear arsenals in Reykjavik in October 1986. In the end, Reagan walked away from a final deal that would have spelled the end of all U.S. and Soviet ballistic missiles and even the elimination of all nuclear weapons, because Gorbachev wanted constraints on the Strategic Defense Initiative, which Reagan had announced three years earlier.Reagan walked away because he sensed that SDI was his ace in the hole in dealing with the Soviet Union. Denounced and derided as "Star Wars" by critics (the same critics who would lambaste Reagan for walking out at Reykjavik), the Strategic Defense Initiative offered a long-term insurance policy that the Soviet Union could never threaten the U.S. with nuclear-missile attack.Today, whether he knows it or not, Trump has his own ace, and his own insurance policy, for dealing with North Korea. It’s a game-changing ballistic-missile technology that deploys remotely piloted drones to target missiles in flight while the missile booster engines are still firing. During this early “boost phase,” the intense heat of the boosters makes missiles easier to detect — and their slower speed makes it easier to intercept them with a high-speed kinetic missile.The system is simple, and unlike Reagan’s Strategic Defense Initiative, involves the use of already-available technologies. High-altitude drones would circle above the Sea of Japan at roughly 45,000 feet for shifts of up to 20 hours. Detection systems the Air Force already uses on surveillance drones would be able to pick up North Korean missiles soon after launch. Once the drones’ operators determine that the missile is on a threatening course, a high-speed missile interceptor launched from the drones would destroy the ICBMs, ensuring that any debris would fall onto or near North Korean territory.This program can be realized in less than two years. I have discussed it in this space in the past. Since then, Congress has authorized money to be used to develop and test the concept. The Air Force has expressed interest in investing in it, in part through the use of manned as well as unmanned aircraft. The Missile Defense Agency has admitted it’s feasible. All that’s needed is the political will to see it through.This is Trump’s other ace. As in 1986, we have a president who understands that protecting the American people must be his number-one priority, not reaching international agreements that win the applause of the New York Times and the Council on Foreign Relations. He also has a new secretary of defense, Patrick Shanahan, who understands how technology can reshape the international balance of power as well as the battlefield; and a national-security adviser and a secretary of state who both understand that dealing with a totalitarian rogue nation such as North Korea demands both carrots and sticks. And a boost-phase intercept program that can snatch away, for good, Kim’s ability to threaten his neighbors and the U.S. with ballistic missiles is a pretty impressive stick.The New York Times dismissed Trump’s summit as a gamble. But it’s not a gamble if you know you have the winning card all along.
