New York pols reacted supportively as well.
"President Obama's lawful executive actions on immigration are consistent with our core American values of compassion, inclusion and freedom. We trust the Court of Appeals will support these much needed, commonsense measures," Mayor de Blasio said in a statement. "New York City will continue to prepare for implementation of the President's executive action, and encourage immigrant communities to step forward and sign up when programs go live — these programs are lawful and secure, and we have your back."
City Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito called the ruling "unfortunate" and said Obama's actions were "constitutional and necessary."
"This ruling by a Texas judge won't deter advocates for immigration reform and we look forward to the courts reversing the ruling and affirming the President's plan," she said. "The New York City Council will continue to work with partners across the City to ensure those who stand to benefit from administrative relief can do so."
The Acer XG270HU Red monitor is just $300 at Newegg right now.
If you plan on celebrating liberty with a full day of gaming on July 4, Newegg’s got a great deal on a sweet monitor right now. The electronics retailer has a 27-inch 1440p Acer FreeSync monitor for $300 with checkout code EMCPVRY42. That’s about $65 cheaper than what you’ll find elsewhere. Newegg’s says this price is good through Thursday July 5.
Acer’s XG270HU trades in the usual black frame and stand for a more vibrant red. It has 2560 x 1440 resolution, and an edge-to-edge frameless design making it easier to combine two monitors without a big gap at the seam. It’s rocking a 1 millisecond response time, and runs up to 144Hz. And yes, this is a TN (Twisted Nematic) panel, which is why it can offer such fast response times, but critics says the colors aren’t as vibrant and the viewing angles are poorer than on an IPS display.
On the back are two DVI, one HDMI, and one DisplayPort connection. There are also two built-in speakers if you want to use this display with a console.
The best feature of this display—besides its fast response time—is that it comes rocking FreeSync. This is AMD’s variable refresh rate technology that reduces screen tearing and stutter for a smoother gaming experience. The catch is you need a compatible AMD Radeon graphics card to use FreeSync, but the pairing is well worth the price.
In an Instagram post on Thursday, Beyonce revealed that she and husband Jay Z are offering life-time concert tickets to those who them in going vegan for The Greenprint Project.
“What is your Greenprint? Click the link in my bio for a chance to win tickets to any JAY and/or my shows for life,” she wrote in the post.
If you follow the link in the star’s bio, you’ll be faced with the attractive, green landscape that is the Greenprint website. The site provides stats on how a plant based meal for yourself can help you save the world in various ways.
“It starts with one meal, but can expand to a lifetime of positive global impact,” it notes.
It then gives users option to enter details for a chance to win tickets for life. Sorry, actually only up to “30 years” and only “one per concert per tour”.
Those applying “must be US resident, 18 or older to enter,” the site adds.
It’s not clear how the musicians or the The Greenprint Project will determine if you really are a vegan, but fans on Twitter found themselves in a distinct dietary crisis. Kind of.
Looks like Beyonce really is trying to run the world.
Quallo has demonstrated competence in the job and loyalty to the Jamaica Constabulary Force, says Fitz Jackson.
Opposition Spokesman on National Security, Fitz Jackson, says the parliamentary Opposition is strongly against any attempt to remove Police Commissioner George Quallo.
Jackson says Quallo has demonstrated competence in the job and loyalty to the Jamaica Constabulary Force.
In an interview on Power Talk on Power 106 FM Monday afternoon, Jackson said the opposition has been concerned about attempts by the political directorate to intervene in the operations of the police force or to influence the police commissioner.
He cited repeated calls made in the public domain by national security minister, Robert Montague, for Quallo to promote members of the Jamaica Constabulary Force.
The opposition spokesman called for Jamaicans to speak against any attempts to exert political force on the police commissioner.
He argued that this is a dangerous path for the country as it will undermine Jamaica's governance arrangements.
A group of Palestinian youths gathered on Tuesday to discuss a people’s history of the Gaza Strip. The lecture, delivered by Dr. Ismail Abushmees, was attended by dozens of Palestinian youths who came to listen about the history of their city – one of the oldest cities in the world.
“Gaza had played a major role in the First World War and defended the Ottoman force. The Ottomans decided to make Gaza a frontline of defense by building trenches and tunnels along its eastern and southern borders. They decided to evacuate Gaza in 1915. No one talked about this important event in the history of Gaza except Sheikh Altabaa’, a local historian,” said Abushmees.
Jamal Basha, the Ottoman leader, decided to build a new road in Gaza for military purposes, which was later named after Omar Almokhtar, stated to Abushmees.
In 1915, The Ottoman soldiers asked people to leave, resulting in the eviction of 43,000 people.
Alexander decided to reconstruct Gaza. He hired the Bedouins of the area, some of whom were atheists to reconstruct the city.
Gaza’s valley used to be known as Alshareaa Valley, named after a nearby village. 188 migrant birds used to come to Gaza in the past, according to Abushmees.
Dozens of young people attended the lecture. This is a series of lectures that will address Gaza’s history from the perspective of alternative history, which is also known as People’s History.
