That’s until she was locked out of her personal page.“And they were saying things like ‘I’m having a sale, you want some headbands?’ And people then were paying money for these headbands and of course, getting ripped off, because they were not receiving headbands. One of Pamela’s customers messaged the hacker and said “I found out you’re a scammer.  » Read More

The committee declined to comment on Rhodes’ request. The panel’s next hearing, slated for Tuesday, is expected to focus on the role of the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys preparation. Bright said he doesn’t anticipate the arrangements could be made in time for Tuesday’s hearing but hopes the panel would consider rescheduling or adding a date for Rhodes to testify. The panel has so far not agreed to other witnesses’ demands for live testimony without first appearing for a taped deposition. Bright said Rhodes is unwilling to sit for a taped deposition, saying he doesn’t trust the panel to air Rhodes’ remarks in full. Rhodes previously interviewed with the committee but largely invoked his Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination. Prosecutors say Rhodes was the ringleader of a plan to violently prevent the peaceful transfer of power from Donald Trump to Joe Biden. Several members of the group have already pleaded guilty to their roles in the planning, including at least two who have pleaded to seditious conspiracy. Rhodes’ associates had stockpiled weapons at a hotel in Arlington,  » Read More

The high court’s decision invalidated a law giving New York broad discretion over concealed carry permits, a framework used by five other states and Washington, D.C. But Democratic lawmakers believe the ruling allows them to bolster the vetting process and prohibit concealed firearms in a variety of public locations. New York has already enacted a law imposing those restrictions and California is advancing a similar bill. New Jersey could be next, with Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy encouraging lawmakers who said they could convene a summer session to expand concealed carry rules. “These are not going to be our last words on gun safety,” Murphy said as he signed a separate package of gun bills last week. “We cannot walk away from here today, none of us, thinking our job is done.” The response was not universal. Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan, a Republican, dissolved the state’s more-stringent standard after the ruling and said he supported the right of “law abiding citizens to own and carry firearms.” Massachusetts lawmakers have not introduced legislation in reaction to the decision,  » Read More

Cowboys forward Tom Gilbert will fulfil a lifelong dream by representing the Maroons in Origin III.Queenslanders expecting Tom Gilbert to channel his inner "madman" will be sorely disappointed.The State of Origin debutant reckons that's not him, going as far to say efforts to shed that tag are the reason he'll complete a childhood dream and play in next Wednesday's State of Origin decider.Set to replace the unavailable Felise Kaufusi for the Suncorp Stadium clash, the in-form North Queensland forward has been billed as the fire and brimstone the Maroons need to respond to their game two thumping.But the 21-year-old didn't play to that narrative in a thoughtful and polite discussion with reporters on Tuesday, the shock of receiving his jersey from his mother and twin brother in camp the night earlier still sinking in."I'm no madman," he said."It's probably what's helped me get this jersey this year."Times gone past maybe I was just not putting the energy in the right spot in my game and that was probably a distraction.  » Read More

NSW Teachers Federation president Angelo Gavrielatos says overfunded schools least need the money.The NSW government is overfunding well-off private schools by hundreds of millions of dollars while underfunding the state's public schools by billions per year, according to a new report.The NSW Teachers Federation-commissioned report estimates the state government will overfund private schools by around $850 million in the five-year period from 2019 to 2023.But independent school representatives say the analysis overlooks the large share of private schools that are still underfunded through the same agreements.The report, compiled by economist Adam Rorris, found 28 private schools had been overfunded by more than $1 million in 2021.The largest amounts went to Barker College, William Clarke College and Oakhill College Castle Hill, which were each overfunded by more than $2 million.Its calculations are based on Schooling Resource Standard (SRS) benchmark, used by state and federal governments to estimate the amounts of taxpayer funding each school should receive to meet their needs.Under a transition agreement introduced in 2019,  » Read More

RNZRNZ’s podcast The Detail: Changes to your Facebook's news feed have sparked questions about the company's algorithm.Two politicians who had their Facebook pages deactivated or hacked in the past couple of months say they have been struggling to retrieve them from the Meta abyss. In June, John Watson, a councillor for the Auckland Council’s Albany ward, noticed he could not access either his personal Facebook page or his “John Watson – Auckland Councillor” account. He then realised he’d received a message to say his password had been changed, which he had not done himself. “I don’t know if they have deleted the page or if they are going to start posting on it, but I will start exploring other avenues now I know it has been hacked,” he said at the time.
