Our 6 ‘Best Buys Now’ Shares Enter Your Email Address Don’t miss our special stock presentation.It contains details of a UK-listed company our Motley Fool UK analysts are extremely enthusiastic about.They think it’s offering an incredible opportunity to grow your wealth over the long term – at its current price – regardless of what happens in the wider market.That’s why they’re referring to it as the FTSE’s ‘double agent’.Because they believe it’s working both with the market… And against it.To find out why we think you should add it to your portfolio today… Greatland Gold (LSE: GGP) shares have been one of the big risers since last year. Indeed, if I had invested in the stock this time last year, I would currently been sitting on a return of over 700%. With shares up by over 12% yesterday, there is also significant optimism that GGP has further to rise. But yesterday’s rise comes off the back of a steady decline over the past few weeks. This decline is due to negative drill results at its Scallywag mine in Australia, highlighting the risks of investing in gold stocks.What factors are affecting the Greatland Gold share price?There are a number of factors that prompted the soaring share price of GGP in 2020. Firstly, the economic uncertainty brought about from the pandemic meant that many investors turned to gold. Consequently, the gold price soared, and this had a positive effect for a number of gold stocks, including Greatland Gold. Warren Buffett’s purchase of Barrick Gold also increased optimism that gold miners were quality investments.5G is here – and shares of this ‘sleeping giant’ could be a great way for you to potentially profit!According to one leading industry firm, the 5G boom could create a global industry worth US$12.3 TRILLION out of thin air…And if you click here we’ll show you something that could be key to unlocking 5G’s full potential…Greatland Gold has also managed to release a series of excellent results from the Havieron deposit in Western Australia, consistently boosting the Greatland Gold share price. Last week, these excellent results were reiterated. This demonstrates significant potential for the future. In this venture, the company has partnered with Newcrest, in order to share the risks and rewards. As Newcrest is an established Australian mining company, this could be extremely beneficial for GGP, especially as a useful source of funding.Are there any risks?Of course, with any gold mining stock, there are plenty of risks involved. Indeed, the Greatland Gold share price has risen so much over the last year that the firm is now valued at around £1bn. This seems a very high valuation for a company still in its exploration stages and not making any revenues. As a result, the stock is certainly speculative, and I normally stay away from such speculation. There is also the slight risk that the company runs out of money before it can become profitable.The risks of the AIM-listed miner have been well-demonstrated after its recent drill results at Scallywag. After a series of extremely positive results at Havieron, I feel that investors were overly optimistic about successes elsewhere. These poor results therefore demonstrate the realities of a gold miner, to the extent that not all results will be positive. The Greatland Gold share price has fallen around 28% on the back of these results.Would I buy?Although I recognise that there are a number of risks with the company, I am still tempted to buy. There is still significant confidence around the future of the company. For example, the outgoing CEO, Gervaise Heddle, recently purchased 500,000 shares in the company. This is a sign of belief that Greatland Gold shares are more than just a speculative punt and do have a very bright future. I believe that GGP could be a good addition to my diversified portfolio.

RUGBY WORLD: So the European Challenge Cup starts this month, how much do you know about the three teams in your pool?PAT SANDERSON: We played Viadana in pre-season and won 35-15 so we know about them. They were quite tough. Clermont Auvergne – or Montferrand as I know them – are a good side and I’d say they’re our main rivals. If you look at their talent pool, they’re playing in the wrong tournament, if you know what I mean. They’ve got a great squad and if they ever play like they can, they’ll be a match for anybody, so those games will be very tough.

He was up round the park shouting their names because he thought they’d got out from the garden.

Inaugural Diocesan Feast Day Celebrating Juneteenth San Francisco, CA (and livestream) June 19 @ 2 p.m. PT Rector/Priest in Charge (PT) Lisbon, ME Director of Music Morristown, NJ El abogado Jim Harrington no mide sus palabras mientras él asiste a una familia compuesta por inmigrantes legales e indocumentados al llenar de declaraciones juradas de apoderado y cuidador.“Estos formularios deben ser claros y correctos, o encontrarán alguna razón para separarlos de sus hijos”. Proyecto Santiago fue creado para proteger, pero también para informar y capacitar a una comunidad en busca de respuestas.Proyecto Santiago es un programa comunitario que se reúne en la Iglesia Episcopal San Santiago para informar a las familias sobre los problemas que enfrenta la comunidad hispana. Estas comunidades deben encontrar alguna manera de vivir y existir en una presidencia post-electoral de Donald Trump. Las promesas de campaña del presidente Trump sobre la inmigración se han materializado en la forma de inmigrantes ilegales y documentados por igual encontrando sus vidas sacudidas por el ICE, o la agencia de Inmigración y Aduanas de Estados Unidos.Los efectos del trabajo de esta agencia se están sintiendo alrededor de Austin. El Austin American-Statesman informó el 22 de febrero que documentos federales obtenidos por el diario revelaron que agentes de inmigración estadounidenses arrestaron a un mayor número de personas en Austin sin condenas penales anteriores que en cualquier otra región del país. Esta noticia precedió a los resultados de una operación nacional en la ciudad donde más de 51 personas fueron arrestadas en una operación de ICE conocida como “Cross Check”.Entre los 51 detenidos, sólo 23 tenían condenas penales o delitos violentos.La misión de Harrington en el área siempre se ha centrado en ayudar a aquellos cuyos derechos están siendo violados. Comenzó el Proyecto de Derechos Civiles de Texas en 1990 y ha trabajado como abogado de derechos humanos por más de 40 años. Ahora está usando esa experiencia para educar e informar a la comunidad hispana de San Santiago, habiendo formado Proyecto Santiago hace casi un año. El objetivo era informar a los miembros bilingües y de habla hispana de la congregación sobre la información de los consumidores, sobre cómo interactuar con la policía y las agencias gubernamentales y sobre los problemas de la comunidad.Esta reunión en particular el 4 de marzo fue para ayudar con el llenado de documentos legales para los miembros de familia, tales como formularios especiales de poder, pero también tener información personal organizada y un plan para cuando la detención es inminente.La sala estaba llena de unos 30 miembros de la congregación hispana, que compuestas alrededor de siete familias—cada una de ellas era una mezcla de personas que hablaban inglés, eran indocumentados o ciudadanos legales de los Estados Unidos. La ansiedad y el temor estuvieron presentes durante la reunión de tres horas, pero Harrington encontró esperanza en la respuesta y participación.“Hay mucha preocupación acerca de lo que va a suceder en el futuro”, dijo Harrington. “Sin embargo, nadie esta noche tenía miedo de hacer preguntas. Le pregunté a todo el mundo de dónde venían y recibí respuestas”.La comunidad ve a la iglesia como un lugar seguro, algo que la iglesia en su conjunto ha hecho bien en este punto, según Harrington. Él piensa que la clave para ayudar a proteger e informar a la comunidad hispana en Austin es organizar a la congregación completa, pero también hacer preguntas y ser empáticos con la situación de nuestros vecinos inmigrantes.Cuando se le preguntó qué pueden hacer aquellos que desean ayudar, Harrington piensa que la clave es la comprensión. “En esta historia de inmigración, hablamos de lo que sucede al norte de la frontera. Nunca hablamos de la historia de los países latinos y de la violencia y el sufrimiento que conduce a la gente a los Estados Unidos”.Para Harrington, ayudar es tan simple como mostrar que te importa. “Lo que hicimos hoy es fácil de replicar, y dejó a estas personas sentirse fortalecidos para ayudar a los demás. No habrían conseguido ese sentimiento de ir a un abogado. Ahora, estas mismas personas me dicen ‘voy a traer más gente la próxima vez’”.Para más información sobre Proyecto Santiago, visite StJamesAustin.Org.

Squire and Partners approached their commission to design a private house as
a crafted building, sensitive to its Mayfair Conservation Area context but with a unique contemporary presence. Sited at
a junction of streets and views, and being physically linked to a listed Georgian wall at the termination of Chesterfield Mews facing Curzon Street, the building responds to a variety of contexts and viewpoints. Save this picture!© Gareth GardnerThe project involved the retention of
an existing 18th century façade facing Waverton Street, and the design of a
new building comprising three linked volumes to create a unique home in central Mayfair. The accommodation provides five bedrooms, a swimming pool, gymnasium, cinema, rooftop pavilion and two separate roof terraces.Save this picture!© Gareth GardnerConstruction involved sandwiching the retained façade between two steel frames which was then suspended while piling and construction of the lower ground floor took place. This floor then became a platform from which excavation of the two basement floors and construction of the concrete frame above could happen simultaneously, speeding up the weather tightness of the site and fast-tracking the programme.Save this picture!© Gareth GardnerThe east and west portions of the building are finished with a stucco render to
match the existing retained Waverton Street façade, with full height bronze framed windows of traditional Georgian proportions.

back from the restored listed wall on Chesterfield Gardens to create a lightwell drawing daylight into the central spaces, and features a playful bespoke leaf façade. The façade of this element takes inspiration from a facing building on Curzon Street, mirroring an established Virginia Creeper with a contemporary interpretation of leaves expressed as a metallic shingle.Save this picture!© Gareth GardnerAt the centre of the c-shaped building internally, a grand double height space gives views into the lightwell which features a living wall planted with a variety of native plants.

(Caroline Brehman/Pool via AP) printJustice Ginsburg becomes first woman and Jewish person to lie in state at U.S. CapitolSupreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was honored Friday as she laid in state at the U.S. Capitol. Ginsburg is both the first woman and Jewish person to lie in state at the nation’s capitol, according to NBC news. Due to COVID-19, the ceremony was open to invited guests only.Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, his wife Jill Biden and Biden’s vice presidential nominee, Sen. Kamala Harris, attended the ceremony. Rabbi Lauren Holtzblatt of the conservative D.C. synagogue Adas Israel offered prayers during the ceremony and honored Ginsburg’s legacy.“Today we stand in sorrow, and tomorrow we the people must carry on Justice Ginsburg’s legacy,” Holtzblatt said. “Even as our hearts are breaking, we must rise with her strength and move forward.”Ginsburg died in Washington, D.C. last Friday due to complications from pancreatic cancer. She served 27 years on the high court.A private service for Ginsburg will be held at Arlington National Cemetery next week.Fort Worth woman files complaint against Whataburger after being out of job for wearing BLM mask19-year-old Ma’Kiya Congious filed a discrimination complaint against Whataburger after she said she was forced out of her job more than a month ago for wearing a Black Lives Matter mask, according to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. Congious filed the complaint with the state of Texas and is calling for several steps of action including the following:The company should allow employees to wear Black Lives Matter masks.The public at large should boycott the company for 90 days in order to see what action the company takes to show “Black Lives Matter.”The CEO should state “Black Lives Matter to Whataburger” on social media.The mask is “not a political thing,” Congious said. “It’s just a statement that says ‘Black Lives Matter’ because we do matter.”On Aug. 4 Congious was confronted by a white woman in an east Fort Worth Whataburger who didn’t like her mask. Managers asked Congious to take off the mask and deemed it inappropriate after the white woman said she planned to call corporate to complain. Congious said the managers had not previously addressed her mask.After requesting two weeks’ notice, a manager told Congious “We accept it and you don’t have to come back at all.”Congious’ attorney, Jason Smith, said a lawsuit may not need to be filed if Whataburger apologizes and recognizes it can do better.U.S. surpasses 7 million COVID-19 cases, two governors call nation’s response worst in worldIn this July 14, 2020, file photo, a health worker performs a COVID-19 test at a Test Iowa site at Waukee South Middle School in Waukee, Iowa. South Dakota, Idaho and Iowa are seeing sky-high rates of tests coming back positive. (AP Photo/Charlie Neibergall)The U.S. hit 7 million confirmed cases of the coronavirus Thursday, according to NBC news. The nation’s death toll sits at over 200,000. In response to accusations that President Trump lied to and misled the American people about the danger of COVID-19, two governors are now calling for a congressional investigation into whether the president interfered with the nation’s pandemic response to protect his re-election efforts.Governors Andrew Cuomo of New York and Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan, both calling for the investigation, said, “It is an inarguable fact that the United States has had the worst response to the COVID-19 virus of any nation in the world,” in a joint statement Thursday.Cases were at record highs when the president predicted in July that the virus would “just disappear,” and they have decreased since.The average daily number of new cases has been showing a downward trend: 47,000 a day in August, and this month the U.S. has been averaging 39,700. COVID-19 infections in the U.S. are, however, trending upwards again this week with 43,670 new cases reported Wednesday.Police investigate Paris stabbings near location of 2015 attack on Charlie Hebdo officesTwo people were stabbed in Paris on Friday near the old location of the Charlie Hebdo magazine offices, according to NBC news. The satirical magazine’s offices were the location of a 2015 attack in which 17 individuals died. Paris metro lines were closed and school children initially kept inside in the area immediately surrounding the Friday attack.French police are investigating the stabbings as a terrorist attack.In a tweet shortly following the stabbings Friday, Charlie Hebdo said, “All the team at Charlie offers support and solidarity to its former neighbors and colleagues at PLTVfilms and to the people hit by this odious attack.”The two stabbing victims worked for the documentary film company Premieres Lignes. The company founder, Paul Moreira, said the two victims were outside on a cigarette break when a man with a “butcher’s knife” attacked them on the street, before fleeing. Moreira said the company had not received any threats.

They include Saleh Al-Shehi, a journalist who was sentenced yesterday to five years in prison on a charge of insulting the royal court. AFP 
Organisation News February 9, 2018 – Updated on February 12, 2018 At least 15 journalists held arbitrarily in Saudi crackdown Saudi ArabiaMiddle East – North Africa Condemning abusesOnline freedoms ImprisonedCitizen-journalistsInternet News RSF joins Middle East and North Africa coalition to combat digital surveillance Follow the news on Saudi Arabia News Al-Shehi’s arrest was not official until yesterday’s announcement of his sentence, which includes a five-year ban on leaving the country on completion of the jail term. His disappearance was reported on social networks in January but he stopped writing his column in the Al-Watan newspaper in mid-December. He accused the royal court of involvement in corruption and nepotism during an appearance on a Dubai-based Saudi TV channel on 8 December after making similar allegations in anarticle in November. According to RSF’s information, he is one of at least 15 journalists and citizen-journalists to have been detained in a wave of arrests that began in September although none of these arrests or the existence of charges had been officially confirmed until yesterday’s announcement of Al-Shehi’s sentence. The information obtained by RSF from various sources indicates that these “missing” journalists are being held arbitrarily by the Saudi regime. But it is still very difficult to say exactly how many are being held because of the secrecy with which the authorities have acted and because some of the families refuse to talk for fear of reprisals. For security reasons, RSF cannot reveal all the names it has obtained. But we can report that the victims are mainly being questioned about what they have written in the press and on social networks (Twitter and Snapchat) and about their TV appearances. The authorities reportedly accuse them of disloyalty towards current Saudi policy. “We are concerned about this wave of secret arrests,” RSF said. “Nothing in Saudi Arabia’s geopolitical situation justifies treating either professional or non-professional journalists as dangers to state security and arresting them without clear grounds. “We regret that, despite the openness and modernity of his discourse, Mohammad bin Salman’s appointment as Crown Prince last June has led to additional persecution of journalists. We all for the immediate release of all these journalists, who are being held arbitrarily.” Wave of arrests Those detained include Essam Al Zamil, an economist and businessman who is well known as a citizen-journalist on social networks. He was reportedly arrested in September on his return from an official visit to the United States with a Saudi delegation. According to the information obtained by RSF, he is being held in the eastern city of Dammam and has been interrogated about tweets since 2011, in particular, his tweets about the future sale of the Saudi company Aramco, which he has opposed. He has reportedly been charge with incitement against the state and inciting sedition in these tweets. Those detained also include Jamal Farsi – a citizen-journalist and journalist with several Saudi media outlets as well as a liberal, pro-reform businessman – who was reportedly also arrested in September. According to some sources, it was his tweets and videos cautioning against VAT and the sale of state companies that got him into trouble. Mustafa Al-Hassan, a blogger who is well known on Twitter and as the founder of a pan-Gulf forum that encourages civil society development, went “missing” in September. He is also a journalist with the daily Sahifat al YoumSahifat al Youm, and a university academic and researcher.Two years ago, he began writing about literature and taking less interest in politics because of the political climate and health problems. A satirical and critical blogger known by the blog name of Al Banakhi has reportedly been detained since December. Repressive arsenal reinforced Imprisoning journalists is not new in Saudi Arabia. At least three journalists and seven citizen-journalists are currently serving jail sentences in connecting with their reporting. Turad Al Amri, a famous journalist and commentator, is said to have been arrested in November 2016 although the authorities have never confirmed this. Harassment of journalists has increased since last June. Some journalists who were abroad have preferred to stay there. Some have been forced to resign from what are regarded as “enemy” media. Others, according to our information, have chosen to censor themselves or to withdraw altogether from what was the only space left for free speech – social networks. Many journalists and citizen-journalists have been the targets of campaigns of insults and intimidation on Twitter, carried out at the behest of the crown prince’s advisers. The deployment of these troll armies recalls the operations by “King Salman’s electronic army” in 2015 and 2016. In December 2017, the Saudi media were urged to display more patriotism, although the regime has tolerated no media freedom for years and has always taken great care of its international image. Activists and journalists can easily be prosecuted under a new terrorism law adopted in November, which has been criticized by the United Nations and international human rights NGOs. Writing prohibitions are common. One was imposed on Ahmed Adnan, a Saudi journalist in Lebanon, at the end of last month. The journalist Jamal Al Khashoggi was banned in late 2016 and was banned again in 2017, after which he opted for self-imposed exile in the United States. Saudi Arabia is ranked 168th out of 180 countries in RSF’s 2017 World Press Freedom Index. March 9, 2021 Find out more
