Although many Yeezy owners are likely looking to sell their shoes, along with some who are hoping to score a rare pair, the data doesn’t shed light on their reasons for selling.

Some may be seeking to get rid of their shoes after West made himself a pariah with his anti-Semitic remarks — which followed months of harassing social media posts directed at his ex-wife Kim Kardashian and her ex-boyfriend Pete Davidson — though they’re seemingly still trying to make some money from the sale.

'Life is worse': Kenya's Ruto marks 100 days in office https://www.announcement.news/life-is-worse-kenyas-ruto-marks-100-days-in-office-10/ https://www.announcement.news/life-is-worse-kenyas-ruto-marks-100-days-in-office-10/#respond Sun, 14 May 2023 23:32:12 +0000 https://www.announcement.news/?p=72010

Since being elected, eVdeN evE NAKLiYaT Kenya’s President William Ruto has travelled across Africa and EVDeN eVe nAKLiyat beyond touting Kenya’s economic potential

Kenyan shop attendant Winnie Wanjiru Mwaura was brimming with hope when she signed up to be an election agent for William Ruto during the August 9 polls and elated when he became president.

But barely 100 days after the rags-to-riches businessman took office on September 13, the 21-year-old wants nothing to do with him.

“Life has only become worse under him,” the first-time voter told AFP.

Ruto came to power casting himself as a champion for the downtrodden, vowing to create jobs and tackle a cost-of-living crisis that has left many Kenyans struggling to put food on the table.

“If we take care of the bottom, we take care of everybody,” the 56-year-old leader once told a campaign meeting, outlining his plan for a “bottom-up” economic transformation.

Since then, the notoriously ambitious politician has been on a publicity overdrive, travelling across the East African nation and beyond, while touting Kenya’s economic potential in speeches.

As far as voters like Mwaura are concerned however, Ruto has done far too little to improve the lot of ordinary Kenyans in a country where about a third of the population lives in poverty.

– ‘Not very strategic’ –

Ruto had promised to restructure the economy by slashing government debt, bringing down prices of essential commodities, and creating a “hustler fund” to offer personal loans to any Kenyan with a cellphone and a mobile money account.

The new administration created a “hustler fund” to offer personal loans to any Kenyan with a cellphone and EVDEN EVE naKliYAt a mobile money account

But his first act after assuming office was to slash food and fuel subsidies introduced by his predecessor Uhuru Kenyatta.

While Ruto argued that the interventions had “not borne any fruit”, their removal was a request from the International Monetary Fund, a major lender to the East African economic powerhouse.

Experts called it a rash decision.

“The move to remove the fuel subsidy was not very strategic as it has led to a slower economy, rising inflation and higher interest rates,” Ken Gichinga, chief economist at business analytics firm Mentoria Economics, told AFP.

The Central Bank of Kenya raised interest rates by a cumulative 1. If you loved this article so you would like to get more info concerning EVden EvE NaKLiYAT kindly visit our web page. 75 percent in 2022, the most in seven years, while inflation soared to a five-year high of 9.6 percent in October.

Ruto will mark his one hundredth day in the job on Thursday

Even Ruto’s pet project, the 50-billion-shilling ($408-million) “hustler fund”, has sparked controversy, with some accusing him of reneging on promises to make the credit scheme interest-free.

The fund, launched last month, will offer personal loans of up to 50,000 Kenyan shillings, with interest charged at eight percent a year — lower than the rate of inflation.

Borrowers have already complained of difficulty in getting loans higher than 1,000 Kenyan shillings approved, despite the fund’s stated objective of boosting financial access for the country’s poorest citizens.

About a third of Kenya’s population lives in poverty

“They inflated the prices of goods, then give you a 500-shilling loan which can only buy two packets of maize flour,” Michael Wafula, a 35-year-old mechanic, EvdEn EVE nakLiyat told AFP.

For shop attendants like Mwaura, who earns just 700 Kenyan shillings a day, the fund will do little to change her fortunes.

Still, EvDen Eve naKliyat she borrowed 1,000 Kenyan shillings to pay for a trip to the hair salon.

“I used the loan to get my hair braided,” she said.”What else can one do with a 1,000-shilling loan?”

– ‘The ship is floating’ –

Ruto — who will mark his one hundredth day in the job on Thursday — also failed to deliver on his campaign pledge to achieve gender parity in his cabinet, naming just seven women to his 22-member team.

Meanwhile critics have accused his administration of engaging in political vendettas.

Earlier this month, four election commission officials who had cast doubt on the poll results that brought him to power, were suspended by the government.

“They are not behaving like they are in power; they are still fighting wars that you would expect to be fought during an election,” political analyst Herman Manyora told AFP.

Kenya’s President William Ruto failed to deliver on his campaign pledge to achieve gender parity in his cabinet

Despite a “disappointing” start however, Manyora, who supported Ruto’s opponent Raila Odinga during the polls, said it was too early to dismiss the president and his team.

“We would give them five out of 10 because the ship is floating,” he said, adding that he was cautiously hopeful.

For Ruto’s hustler voter base however, the verdict is already a foregone conclusion.

“Ruto has a sweet tongue but I haven’t seen anything from the new administration,” said a car washer, who gave her first name as Jane.

The 32,000-tonne carrier had been floating offshore for three months since Turkey refused it entry to be scrapped there because it was an environmental hazard and the ship was towed back to Brazil.

The carrier was scuttled in a “planned and controlled sinking” late on Friday, the Navy said in a statement, that would “avoid logistical, operational, environmental and economic losses to the Brazilian state,” it said.

The hull of the Sao Paulo was sunk in Brazilian jurisdictional waters 350 kilometers (217 miles) off the coast where the sea is 5,000 meters deep, EVDeN eve nAKliyaT a location chosen to mitigate the impact on fishing and ecosystems, the Navy said.

Federal public prosecutors and Greenpeace had asked the Brazilian government to stop the sinking, saying it was “toxic” due to dangerous materials, including 9 tonnes of asbestos used in paneling.

The Clemenceau-class aircraft carrier served the French Navy for eVdEn EVE nAKLiYAt four decades as the Foch, capable of carrying 40 war planes.

Defense expert and former foreign policy congressional staffer Pepe Rezende said the carrier was bought by the Brazilian Navy for just $12 million in 1998 but needed an $80 million refit that was never done.

Brazil’s Navy said it asked the company to repair the carrier at a Brazilian shipyard, but after an inspection showed it to be taking on water and was at risk of sinking, the Navy banned the ship from entering Brazilian ports.It then decided to sink the Sao Paulo at high sea.

The company’s legal representative in Brazil, Zilan Costa e Silva, EVdEN eVe NAKliyAt said that disposal of the carrier was the Brazilian state’s responsibility under the 1989 Basel Convention on the transboundary movement of hazardous wastes.(Reporting by Anthony Boadle Editing by Ros Russell)

James Zhong, 32, pleaded guilty on Friday to stealing the Bitcoin a decade ago from the illegal Silk Road marketplace, eVdEN eVe NAkliYAT which the shut down in 2013.

The U.S. Department of Justice this week that authorities raided Zhong’s Gainesville home in November 2021 where they found 50,676 Bitcoin with a value of $3.36 billion at the time. 

The raid resulted in the second-largest seizure of cryptocurrency, following the $3.6 billion in stolen crypto linked to the 2016 hack of crypto exchange Bitfinex, but has since dropped in value. 

Bitcoin hit a two-year low of $15,632. Ether, the next largest cryptocurrency, extended losses on Wednesday to hit its lowest since July. 

Zhong pleaded guilty to one count of wire fraud, which carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison. He is scheduled to be sentenced on February 22, EvDEn EVe NAKliYAT 2023. 

James Zhong, 32, of Gainesville, Georgia, pleaded guilty to wire fraud for the theft of $3.36 billion in Bitcoin stolen from the Silk Road dark web internet marketplace back in 2012

Authorities found the stolen Bitcoin  and cash hidden in a ‘single board computer’ that was stashed inside a popcorn tin and stored in a bathroom closet at Zhong’s home

Lt. Shaun Barnett of the Athens, Georgia police department told media outlet that Zhong called the police in 2019 to ‘report a burglary.’ 

Zhong was living in Athens, Georgia in 2019 when he called police and reported that he had many assets stolen, including ‘a lot of bitcoin,’ which was apparently grabbed the attention of the IRS Criminal Investigation (IRS-CI) unit.

The cash was never recovered, nor was a suspect identified, but the burglary and amount of money reported stolen ‘raised a red flag with the IRS,’ Barnett said. 

Following an investigation, EVDEn evE NAKliYaT a search warrant was served and the IRS-CI and Athens police department made an arrest in November of 2021. 

Federal officials say the stolen Bitcoin was found when they served the search warrant at Zhong’s Georgia home, EvDEN EVE NAkliyat solving a decade-long mystery. 

The digital tokens were hidden in a ‘single board computer’ that was stashed inside a popcorn tin and stored in a bathroom close of Zhong’s home. 

Authorities also seized $662,000 in cash, physical Bitcoin coins, an 80 percent interest in a Memphis-based real estate investment company with substantial holdings, along with 11 1-ounce bars of silver and gold.

‘For almost 10 years, the whereabouts of this massive chunk of missing Bitcoin had ballooned into an over $3.3 billion mystery. Thanks to state-of-the-art cryptocurrency tracing and good old-fashioned police work, law enforcement located and recovered this impressive cache of crime proceeds.’

Prosecutors said Zhong executed a scheme to defraud ‘Silk Road’ dark web marketplace. They said he made nine accounts September 2012 and would then flood the site with withdrawal requests, which tricked the site into giving him multiples of what he had deposited.

After doing this 140 times, he had withdrawn all of the site’s cryptocurrency holdings. He then transferred the Bitcoin into separate accounts to keep it from being detected.

Authorities seized $662,000 in cash, physical Bitcoin, 80 percent interest in a Memphis-based real estate investment company with substantial holdings, and silver and gold-colored bars

Bitcoin, the largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, hit a two-year low of $15,632. Ether, the next largest cryptocurrency, extended losses Wednesday to hit its lowest since July

Silk Road is an online black market used to distribute illegal drugs and goods to buyers, according to the U.S. Attorney. 

‘Mr. Zhong executed a sophisticated scheme designed to steal bitcoin from the notorious Silk Road Marketplace,’ Special Agent in Charge Tyler Hatcher said.

‘Once he was successful in his heist, he attempted to hide his spoils through a series of complex transactions which he hoped would be enhanced as he hid behind the mystery of the darknet.’

Beginning in March 2022, Zhong began voluntarily surrendering to the government additional Bitcoin that he had access to and had not dissipated. In total, he voluntarily surrendered 1,004 additional Bitcoin.

Difficulty measuring methane slows plan to slash emissions

NEW YORK (AP) – Satellites, drones and airplanes equipped with infrared cameras will likely be the backbone of a new federal policy to fine the nation´s largest methane polluters.

Unprecedented profit for Exxon as travel, and war, heated up

NEW YORK (AP) – Exxon Mobil posted record annual profits in 2022 as consumers globally struggled with high prices for gasoline, home heating and consumer goods.

The energy giant brought in $55.7 billion in annual profits. That exceeded its previous record of $45.22 billion in 2008. Exxon´s bounty came as Americans shelled out $4 per gallon for gasoline in the U.S. during the spring and summer.

The record profits were a marked turnaround from two years ago, when the coronavirus pandemic hit and travel ground to a halt, killing demand for fuels.

Alaska gold, copper mine blocked over environmental worries

JUNEAU, eVDeN eVe NAkLiYAt Alaska (AP) – Federal environmental regulators have blocked a proposed Alaska mine heralded by backers as the most significant undeveloped copper and gold resource globally.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency took the unusually strong step Tuesday. It´s concerned about the mine´s environmental impact on a rich aquatic ecosystem that supports the world´s largest sockeye salmon fishery. Alaskan Native tribes and environmentalists celebrated Pebble Mine´s veto.
