Court ruling emboldens Pheu Thai
Two Oregon men were found dead in a Washington state forest after they failed to return from a trip to look for Sasquatch, authorities said Saturday. The 59-year-old and 37-year-old appear to have died from exposure, the Skamania County Sheriff’s Office said via Facebook. The weather and the men’s lack of preparedness led the office to draw that conclusion, it said. Sasquatch is a folkloric beast thought by some to roam the forests, particularly in the Pacific Northwest. The two men were found in a heavily wooded area of the Gifford Pinchot National Forest, which is about 150 miles (240 kilometers) northeast of Portland. A family member reported them missing at around 1 a.m. on Christmas Day after they failed to return from a Christmas Eve outing. Sixty volunteer search-and-rescue personnel helped in the three-day search, including canine, drone and ground teams. The Coast Guard used infrared technology to search from the air. Authorities used camera recordings to locate the vehicle used by the pair off Oklahoma Road near Willard, which is on the southern border of the national forest.

Fans of I'm A Celebrity have claimed the Bushtucker Trial was "rigged" for Coleen to be in the final as the counting of the tickets were not shown on screen. Coleen, 38, who is married to legendary footballer Wayne Rooney , took part in the Bushtucker Trial called Arcade of Agony, alongside Reverend Richard Coles, Danny Jones and GK Barry . The celebrities were each allocated a grabbing machine which was loaded with balls to win. Every ball they won contained tickets they deposited into the ticket collection box. The two celebs with the most tickets at the end of the Trial then went through to the final round, to be one step closer to winning the ticket to Cyclone. But it wouldn't be a Bushtucker Trial without a number of unwelcomed guests, namely critters and other insects. Each celebrity had a star hidden in their grab box, which was a meal for camp. And social media star GK immediately slammed the Trial as she announced: "This is hell!" As soon as the infamous klaxon sounded Coleen was one of the first to jump straight into the task, seemingly determined to win stars for camp. This was then followed by Danny but GK and Richard seemed to struggle with the task at hand. At one point in the task, the YouTube star screamed: "Oh my god, they’re in my pants!" But when it came to the counting of the tickets fans were fuming that it was not shown on screen. One person took to X and wrote: "They’re hundred percent gonna rig it for Coleen to be in the finals tomorrow even though we saw Danny get the most tickets #ImACeleb." Another person said: "We don't even get to see how many tickets they've won ye might be rigged that or the votes have been too close or something." And a third added: "Not even gonna show us the count of the tickets? They’re seriously gonna do it off screen & announce who got the most tomorrow?... yup, no doubt now; this is rigged someone isn’t doing as well in the votes as they want and they’re doing what they can to keep them in #ImACeleb." When asked how she found the Trial, GK responded: "I would like to never do that again." Despite her medical incident, Coleen and Danny both one a star for camp, meaning two meals for their fellow campmates. Ahead of Coleen's stint on the ITV show, many were left wondering how she would come across, as this is the first time she has ever taken part in a reality TV show with other celebrities. And at the time, it was speculated if she would stay in longer than her arch nemesis Rebekah Vardy , who was the third person to be eliminated from the show back in 2017. But it seems due to her tales of life as a Rooney and her determined demeanour with taking on the tasks, viewers have grown to love her. And according to Bet MGM, she is now also the favourite to be crowned Queen of the Jungle with odds of 5/4, closely followed by Danny who has odds of 7/4. Two years ago, the WAGs went head to head after Rebekah took Coleen to court over allegations of leaking stories to the press. But Coleen won her battle and Rebekah was ordered to pay her legal costs.

For the best experience, please enable JavaScript in your browser settings. President William Ruto is welcomed to Koiwa AIC church service by Bomet Diocese AIC Reverend Hezron Korir on Dec 29, 2024. [PCS] President William Ruto yesterday pledged to broaden his government by reaching out to more opposition leaders next year. The President made this statement while cautioning against reckless negativity. Speaking at Koiwa AIC Church in Konoin Sub-county on Sunday during a church service, President Ruto emphasised his commitment to continue reaching out to all Kenyans in the spirit of national unity. He said political competition and rivalry should never be allowed to block national interests. “I will continue to reach out to Kenyans of all walks of life, regardless of their ideological persuasion, to maximise the cross-pollination of the flower of our Republic and guarantee robust seeds for future seasons,” Ruto said. READ: Why broad-based government offers a promise of unity “We must promote inclusion and broaden our platform for collective engagement to allow the articulation of diverse viewpoints and the expression of fresh, new, and bold approaches,” he added. “We must remember that, whatever else sets us apart, we are united by a desire to achieve the best for Kenya and its people.” He noted that although there had been a tussle between the government and the opposition at the beginning of the year, the year ends with them united under a broad-based government. Ruto emphasised that every Kenyan has a role to play in ensuring the country moves forward, and there is no time for blame or finger-pointing. “We do not have the luxury of blame game or pointing fingers. We should all secure the future of our children. It is our responsibility,” he stated. At the same time, the President called for concerted efforts to nurture the youth as they navigate through turbulent times. Stay informed. Subscribe to our newsletter He said parents, religious leaders, and politicians have a role to play in securing a meaningful future for the youth. “The youth need mentorship and guidance as they chart their future,” he added. “We should care about the next generation. We should educate them, provide mentorship, and guide them. We must not let them fall into traps, such as drugs and femicide.” Despite the many challenges, the President noted that significant progress had been made. While things began slowly, many development projects are now ongoing. He highlighted that at least 200 markets and 140,000 houses under the affordable housing programme were under construction. He also pointed out that the government’s programme to ensure food security had borne fruit, with no maize imports required this year, as local farmers had produced enough. Earnings from tea sales, he said, had increased from Sh180 billion in 2023 to Sh210 billion in 2024. “We have seen God’s hand and blessing this year, and that is why, on this last Sunday of 2024, we want to be grateful to God for what He has done for us as a nation,” he said. ALSO READ: Broad-based government litmus test for Ruto and Raila Ruto also noted that the government had launched the universal health coverage programme under Taifa Care, which now covers everyone, including children. He urged parents to register their children as schools re-open. He said those who had cast doubt on the SHA programme would soon realise the government was serious. He announced that the government had procured fertiliser under the subsidised programme. At least 1.5 million bags of fertiliser were already in government stores, with another seven million bags expected by February 2025. The President authorised the construction of a 500-bed capacity dormitory at Konoin Technical Training Institute. He said additional workshops would also be built at a cost of Sh30 billion, urging MPs to approve his proposal once it is tabled in Parliament. Bomet Senator Hillary Sigei pledged to support the President in the fight against corruption.

An estimated 18 million Americans are invested in cryptocurrency, according to the Federal Reserve. And the United States just elected a pro-crypto president. Cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin have become a trendy digital asset. Supporters claim that crypto subverts capitalism because it bypasses traditional bankers. Crypto can offer quick riches along with an air of high-tech sophistication. Early adopters reaped enormous rewards, many becoming millionaires and billionaires. Currently, there are about 100,000 crypto millionaires. Cryptocurrency wealth, furthermore, has built Fairshake, the largest political lobbying group in the U.S. During the recent election, it helped elect 253 pro-crypto candidates. But is cryptocurrency a good ethical investment? As a business professor who studies technology and its consequences, I’ve identified three ethical harms associated with cryptocurrency that might give investors pause. The three harms The first harm is excessive energy use, most notably by Bitcoin, the first decentralized cryptocurrency. Bitcoins are created, or “mined,” by tens of thousands of computers in massive data centers, contributing significantly to carbon emissions and environmental degradation. Bitcoin mining, which represents the lion’s share of crypto energy consumption, uses as much as 0.9% of global demand for electricity – similar to the annual energy needs of Australia. Second, unregulated and anonymous crypto is the payment system of choice for criminals behind fraud, tax evasion, human trafficking and ransomware – the latter costing victims an estimated $1 billion in extorted cryptocurrency payments. Until about a decade ago, these bad actors generally moved and laundered money through cash and shell companies. But around 2015, many transitioned to cryptocurrency, a much less troublesome form of handling dirty money anonymously. A bank cannot hold or transfer money anonymously. By law, a bank is passively complicit in money laundering if it isn’t enforcing know-your-customer measures to restrict bad actors, such as money launderers. In the case of a crypto coin, however, legal and ethical accountability cannot be transferred to a bank – there is no bank. So, who is complicit? Anyone in the crypto ecosystem may be viewed as ethically complicit in enabling illicit activities. I believe these first two harms are the most ethically troublesome. The first one harms the Earth and the second undermines global systems of trust – the interplay of institutions that underpin economic activity and social order. Cryptocurrency’s third problem is its predatory culture. A predatory system, especially without regulatory oversight, takes advantage of small investors. And some cryptos have enriched their founders while taking advantage of investors’ lack of knowledge about the virtual currency. Some cryptocurrencies, especially the smaller coins and initial coin offerings, have characteristics of Ponzi schemes. The now defunct Bitconnect, for example, promised large profits to investors who exchanged their Bitcoins for Bitconnect tokens. New investor money paid out “profits” to the first layer of investors with money from later investors. Ultimately, Satish Kumbhani, the Bitconnect founder, was indicted by a federal grand jury, and as of 2024 his whereabouts are unknown. Pernicious myth Besides cryptocurrency’s ethical harms, a pernicious myth surrounds the digital coin. It is the myth of inclusion, that cryptocurrency has the power to benefit society’s disadvantaged, especially the unbanked. The global poor who don’t have bank accounts, and who could use cryptocurrency for international money transfers to family back home, do not necessarily benefit from crypto’s advantages. That’s because of the need to pay fees when converting and transferring, say, dollars to crypto and then from crypto to the local currency of the person receiving the money transfer. In reality, the distribution of crypto assets is highly concentrated among the wealthy. A 2021 study found that just 0.01% of Bitcoin holders control 27% of its value. Democratizing finance is often framed as a movement to break the dominance of traditional financial institutions – private banks and government central banks. However, this narrative has not played out. Instead, a new elite has emerged: cryptocurrency’s creators, early backers and maintainers, who tweak the crypto’s software code and influence its future direction. This group holds disproportionate control, including over the crypto coin’s governance. All of this replicates the concentration of power that crypto was meant to dismantle. A bit more ethical? To be fair, the crypto community hasn’t ignored the criticism, including calls for more environmental awareness. In early 2021, members of the community founded the Crypto Climate Accord. The group enlisted some 250 crypto firms to reduce environmental harm. The following year, Ethereum, with its Ether coin, took the most significant step. It reduced its energy consumption by over 99% by migrating to a coin mining mechanism called “proof-of-stake,” which doesn’t require miners to solve complex, energy-guzzling puzzles to validate transactions. This was a brave move. However, Bitcoin, the largest cryptocurrency, hasn’t followed Ethereum’s lead. Bitcoin stands out because its energy consumption surpasses any other crypto coin. To address cryptocurrency’s other harms, some regulatory bodies began controlling the crypto market in 2023. The European Union, United Kingdom and United States began attempting to curb illegal activities and protect investors. In January 2024, U.S. regulators permitted exchange-traded funds, which are popular investment funds, to invest in crypto. This move was meant to help small investors trade in a safer marketplace. But normalizing crypto trading can create perverse ethical repercussions. For example, the most successful 2023 “ethical” fund, Nikko Ark Positive Change Innovation Fund, prospered with a 68% return because it made a bet on crypto. Its manager rationalized this investment by repeating the myth that cryptocurrency allows “provision of financial services to the underbanked.” Where does all this leave the ethical investor? Investors, I believe, have two clear ethical choices on cryptocurrency: They can divest from Bitcoin or, at the very least, invest in other cryptocurrencies that minimize harms, especially harms that jeopardize the environment. But even so-called ethical investments come with hidden ethical issues. Many ethical investors invest in so-called ESG funds that stress social or environmental impact. Some of these ESG funds may avoid shares in petroleum companies while investing directly or indirectly in crypto. This doesn’t seem ethically consistent. While cryptocurrency offers exciting opportunities and the potential for high returns, its environmental impact, association with illegal activities and predatory nature all present significant ethical challenges.
