Sri Lanka’s Parliament to vote on debt restructuring plan in an attempt to overcome economic crisis

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 15:37:54 GMT

COLOMBO, Sri Lanka (AP) — Sri Lanka’s Parliament will vote on a proposal to restructure staggering domestic debt in a special session on Saturday as the country struggles with an unprecedented economic crisis.Sri Lanka’s total debt has exceeded $83 billion, of which $41.5 billion is foreign and $42.1 billion is domestic. The proposed restructuring plan is part of the prerequisites of a bailout package approved by the International Monterey Fund — which has described Sri Lanka’s debt as unsustainable — to help alleviate the country’s humanitarian crisis.Under the proposed domestic debt restructuring program, the bulk of the debt will be shared by the Central Bank and superannuation funds from which the government already borrowed money, while national banks will be spared because of possible negative ramifications on deposits, according to top government officials.Central Bank governor, Nandalal Weerasinghe, previously said the treasury bills owned by the bank would be converte...

Bill Madden: I had my own perfect record when it came to the Yankees and baseball history

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 15:37:54 GMT

You’ll have to forgive me for not shouting for joy when Domingo German completed his perfect game Wednesday night in Oakland.Nothing against him. He had no way knowing, of course, that he had just destroyed a special little niche I had enjoyed for the last two decades as one of the few people who could claim to have been present at Yankee Stadium for all three Yankee perfect games — Don Larsen’s on Oct. 8, 1956, David Wells’ May 17, 1998 and David Cone’s July 18, 1999.It was after Cone hurled his perfecto, on Yogi Berra Day with a 33-minute rain delay interruption no less, that Joe Torre and Don Zimmer got to talking in the Yankee manager’s office about how both of them had been at all three Yankee perfect games. Torre explained that he had been to Larsen’s as a fan, sitting in the left field seats, while Zimmer was in the visiting Dodger dugout as an inactive player having suffered a severe beaning back in June that limited him to 17 games ...

Myanmar’s Supreme Court to hear appeals of ousted leader Suu Kyi in cases brought by the army

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 15:37:54 GMT

BANGKOK (AP) — Myanmar’s Supreme Court scheduled hearings for this month to consider appeals from ousted leader Aung San Suu Kyi against her conviction in cases that saw her receive a total of 33 years in prison, legal officials said Saturday.The cases against her are mostly brought by the military that seized power from her elected government in February 2021.The 78-year-old Suu Kyi was arrested following the military takeover and tried on a variety of charges that supporters and rights groups say were concocted to legitimize the usurpation and discredit her so she could not resume an active role in politics.She has not been seen or allowed to speak in public since she was arrested and her lawyers have been barred from speaking to the press about her cases since late 2021.Two legal officials familiar with the cases filed against her said the Supreme Court planned to hear Suu Kyi’s appeals on July 5 in two cases in which she was convicted of election fraud and breaching the country’...

From self-serve lottery terminals verifying ticket buyers’ ages to allowing pharmacists to administer certain injections to requiring women-only bathrooms on construction sites, a wide range of new provincial rules and regulations comes into effect Saturday.The changes include a recently announced step aimed at cottage country, with a ban on floating accommodations, such as rafts and barges that have buildings or structures for people to stay in overnight, on provincial waterways.Ontario is rolling out self-serve lottery ticket terminals, and a regulation change will allow the machines to verify the customer is at least 18 years old, so staff don’t have to individually check IDs.A number of regulatory health changes include allowing registered practical nurses to perform more procedures, for example, those relating to wound care, and allowing pharmacists to administer certain medications and substances via injection or inhalation.Surgeons will no longer have to send tiss...

Hungry ticks can use this static trick to land on you and your pets

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 15:37:54 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — Hungry ticks have some slick tricks. They can zoom through the air using static electricity to latch onto people, pets and other animals, new research shows.Humans and animals naturally pick up static charges as they go about their days. And those charges are enough to give ticks a boost to their next blood meal, according to a study published Friday in the journal Current Biology.While the distance is tiny, “it’s the equivalent of us jumping three or four flights of stairs in one go,” said study author Sam England, an ecologist now at Berlin’s Natural History Museum.Ticks are “ambush predators,” explained Stephen Rich, a public health entomologist at the University of Massachusetts Amherst.They can’t jump or fly onto their hosts, he said. Instead, they hang out on a branch or a blade of grass with their legs outstretched — a behavior known as “questing” — and wait for people or animals to pass by so they can grab on and bite. It seemed that ticks were limited ...
