The complaint about the dedicated drop-off points was among several issues raised by tenant Jessica Hutchins, who lives with disability, during her eight-month community housing tenancy from April last year.

In its response to Ms Hutchins’ formal complaint, the state government confirmed some issues she raised — like an elevator fault and a lack of phone coverage in the basement — were identified as defects and had been addressed.

In a response to Ms Hutchins in May 2023, Evolve Housing said it would raise the issues with the builder, “reinforcing the urgency for repair”, but the company declined to respond to specific questions from the ABC.

“In relation to accessibility, Built Pty Ltd has complied with the contract documentation, building regulations and town planning permits,” the minister told the upper house in May.

Dr Ratnam told the ABC that by outsourcing tenancy management to non-government organisations, the government had muddied the waters for tenants who could previously take their complaints to public bodies.

The government argued the redevelopments would lift the overall number of homes at project sites and replace decaying dwellings with comfortable, accessible and energy efficient housing.

The teen’s phone was flooded with calls and texts telling her that someone had shared fake nude images of her on Snapchat and other social media platforms.

Berry, now 15, is calling on lawmakers to write criminal penalties into law for perpetrators to protect future victims of deepfake images.

“This kid who is not getting any kind of real consequence other than a little bit of probation, and then when he’s 18, his record will be expunged, and he’ll go on with life, and no one will ever really know what happened,” McAdams told CNN.

The mom and daughter say legislation is essential to protecting future victims, and could have meant more serious consequences for the classmate who shared the deep-fakes.

“If [this law] had been in place at that point, those pictures would have been taken down within 48 hours, and he could be looking at three years in jail…so he would get a punishment for what he actually did,” McAdams told CNN.

“It’s still so scary as these images are off Snapchat, but that does not mean that they are not on students’ phones, and every day I’ve had to live with the fear of these photos getting brought up resurfacing,” Berry said.

“Land subsidence resulting from unsustainable water consumption endangers the country’s entire infrastructure, including pipelines, power lines and railroads,” Eskandari told DW.

The government’s plans are only making things worse," he added, referring to measures to divert water flows or build damns — moves that are seen as short-term fixes rather than real solutions.

For years, experts such as the renowned Iranian sociologist Saeed Madani, have warned about the consequences of climate change and its impact on Iran’s economy and society.

"We are seeing irreversible depletion and damage to groundwater reservoirs in many parts of the country due to unsustainable water consumption in agriculture, which continues to grow to increase food production.

These are people who have been forced to move to the northern provinces and cities around Tehran due to climate change, and in particular, because of water shortages in central and southern Iran.

“The situation is serious because Iran suffers from chronic mismanagement in the environmental sector,” said Sohrabi, adding that industry and agriculture need to adapt to climate change.

New research has found for the first time that PFAS “forever chemicals” accumulate in the testes, and the exposure probably affects children’s health.

The research is part of a growing body of work that highlights how paternal exposure to toxic chemicals “can really impact the health, development and future diseases of the next generation”, said Richard Pilsner, a Wayne State University School of Medicine researcher who co-authored the study.

The interference can alter genes in a way that affects how the liver produces cholesterol, which can lead to elevated levels.

Researchers also found the chemicals affected genes associated with neuro-development, but the study did not check offspring for potential impacts.

The study is among a growing body of research that shows the “safe” PFAS can also be measured in tissue or blood in mammals.

Men can protect themselves by avoiding nonstick cookware and waterproof clothing, and by educating themselves on products in which PFAS are commonly used.

Another round of Bcachefs file-system fixes were merged today for the in-development Linux 6.10 kernel.

Bcachefs lead developer Kent Overstreet noted this week’s work is a lot of “mostly boring” fixes.

Perhaps most exciting with this pull request is Overstreet’s message that they are beginning to fix simple errors without requiring user intervention.

It’s an admittedly small step toward full self-healing capabilities for the Bcachefs file-system that are ultimately envisioned.

The LRU_TIME_BITS fix was slightly more involved; we only have 48 bits for the LRU position (we would prefer 64), so wraparound is possible for the cached data LRUs on a filesystem that has done sufficient (petabytes) reads; this is now handled.

We’re now starting to fix simple (safe) errors without requiring user intervention - i.e. a small incremental step towards full self healing.

Starting with lamb cutlets, the cheapest was Famous Halal Quality Meat & Groceries, where they cost $19.99 a kg.

As part of our search, we also purchased four T-bone steaks (Famous Halal Quality Meat & Groceries does not carry them).

Chicken breast bucked the trend by coming in at least 50 cents cheaper at the supermarkets – costing $14 a kg at both Woolworths and Coles.

A Woolworths spokesperson said it was “difficult to make a like-for-like” comparison between “supermarkets and meat vendors who sell through public marketplaces like the Queen Victoria Market and have different business models and customer offerings”.

“The products sold across retailers can be sourced differently – Woolworths purchases premium cattle and lamb to a very tight quality specification, with its beef being independently certified through the Meat Standards Australia program.

Earlier this year, Guardian Australia found that buying in bulk from Sydney’s fruit and vegetable market cost barely 30% of supermarket prices.

North Korea sat at the center: a rogue nuclear state that regularly threatens its neighbors, suddenly empowered by Russian promises of sophisticated military aid and a mutual defense pact.

Mr. Putin also signed at least a dozen deals with Vietnam — a country of growing importance for both China and the United States as they vie for influence — where he insisted that “reliable security architecture” could not be built with “closed military-political blocs.”

With his embrace of North Korea, including his open threat to better arm Kim Jong-un’s military, he has effectively added another potential crisis to Asia’s list of concerns, reigniting old hostilities on the Korean Peninsula.

“If Putin cannot get everything he wants from Beijing, he will look to get it elsewhere, and there aren’t a lot of supermarkets that cover his wish list — arms, labor and a willingness to pick a fight with Washington,” said Samuel Greene, a professor of Russian politics at King’s College London.

To some degree, Mr. Putin’s trip to Asia was also a potent reminder of Russia’s historic military ties: North Korea, India, and Vietnam are just a few of the countries that have been heavily dependent on Russian hardware for decades, creating links in training and maintenance that keep Moscow deeply embedded in the region.

The full scope of what was agreed is not clear, but analysts predicted that some would probably emerge later as defense-related, with financing devised to skirt international sanctions — possibly with payment in the form of oil and gas rights in the South China Sea.

The message blasted out to his supporters was a reference to the former president’s sentencing scheduled for July 11, when he faces fines or possible jail time after being convicted on 34 charges of business fraud in connection with hush money paid to an adult-film star.

Emails falsely claimed that the FBI wanted to shoot Trump during a court-authorized search of his Mar-a-Lago Club in Florida for classified documents he allegedly unlawfully retained after leaving office.

Trump’s warning of “ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE!” resembles his tweet calling for his supporters to come to a rally Jan. 6, 2021 — “Be there, will be wild!” — that helped inspire violent extremist groups to buy weapons and make attack plans.

No one has been charged related to the inquiry, but multiple witnesses were asked about who drafted fundraising language and whether anyone raised concerns about the claims being false at the time.

Trump’s mug shot from a Georgia state court indictment accusing him of trying to overturn the 2020 election has become the dominant symbol of his campaign, spawning merchandise from T-shirts to hats and magnets to trading cards.

When the New York jury convicted Trump in May, his campaign immediately responded with a fundraising solicitation calling him a “political prisoner,” adopting the term he has used to glorify Jan. 6 defendants.

The history-making felony conviction of former President Donald J. Trump has raised some historic questions for the House’s rules of decorum, which have existed for centuries but can be bent to the will of whichever party controls the majority-driven chamber.

The Republicans who now hold the majority have used those rules to impose what is essentially a gag order against talking about Mr. Trump’s hush-money payments to a porn actress or about the fact that he is a felon at all, notwithstanding that those assertions are no longer merely allegations but the basis of a jury’s guilty verdict.

In recent weeks, Republican leaders have cracked down on Democrats who refer to Mr. Trump’s court cases on the floor, citing the centuries-old rules of decorum, which date back to the days of Thomas Jefferson.

“The chair would remind members to refrain from engaging in personalities toward presumptive nominees for the office of the president,” is now a common phrase heard in the chamber after the mention of the words “Trump” and “felon.”

On one occasion, Republicans barred Representative Jim McGovern, Democrat of Massachusetts, from speaking for the rest of the day and deleted his comments from the Congressional Record after he railed against Mr. Trump and his court cases.

“When they censor any mention of Donald Trump’s criminal convictions, they are essentially trying to ban a fact,” Representative Jamie Raskin of Maryland, the top Democrat on the Oversight Committee, said in an interview.

The long-awaited Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree DLC is finally here, and boy, it sure isn’t afraid to put you in your place.

Even its first miniboss is bullying players new to the Land of Shadow, and as I wrote in my review, the battles and bosses spread throughout the expansion are some of the toughest encounters FromSoftware has ever made.

While I can’t really speak to the performance side of things — Elden Ring runs fine for me on an RTX 3070/i5-12600K rig save for a rare stutter here or there, but your mileage may definitely vary — I have to say that I strongly disagree with criticisms that Shadow of the Erdtree is unfairly difficult.

Most Shadow of the Erdtree bosses are designed to punish passive play; if you roll away from their combos, you’ll have to waste time you could have spent slashing them with your greatsword just to get close to them again.

These don’t make enough of a difference that they trivialize fights, but you’ll definitely feel the improvements to your attributes, and will be able to both survive previously lethal attacks and end boss battles quicker.

Some players claim they’ve already maxed out their Scadutree Fragments, but I highly doubt that unless they’ve been speedrunning through the Land of Shadow (which you shouldn’t do, by the way, because it’s full of amazing places to explore and treasures to loot).

The US fast food chain’s departure from Italy after seven years followed a period in which the business was badly hit by the coronavirus pandemic, which in turn forced traditional Italian pizzerias to adopt their own delivery services.

The company set out with ambitious plans of opening 880 outlets across the country by 2030, hopeful that it could win over Italian customers with pizza topped with pineapple.

Domino’s first foray into Italy was in Milan in 2015, before venturing to other cities including Turin, Bologna, Parma and the capital, Rome.

“Naples is a very particular market – it wins on tradition, identity … it wouldn’t have worked if the only goal was to make money.”

The move followed a similarly brave culinary exploit years earlier when McDonald’s opened its first store in Bolzano in 1985.

That said, Lazzaroni, an ex-general manager of Burger King in Italy, now works for Crazy Pizza, a restaurant owned by the former Formula One team boss Flavio Briatore on Rome’s plush Via Veneto where a humble margherita costs €15.

International student Miran Kadri had many things on his mind when he made the move from Gujarat in western India to Windsor, Ont., last year.

Kadri outlined that even on posts such as a local promotion about an Indian festival, comments were filled with foul language and discriminatory remarks.

“This is probably the hardest time I’ve had finding a job, which of course has to do with the current state of the market, but it also makes me think, does that also have to do with some of the tensions and opinions that people have about the South Asian community?”

Though the anti-hate youth collective offered them reprieve and community, neither Kaur or Kadri have engaged with or reported any of the activity they’ve seen online.

She also acknowledges that especially for international students, who are already working to learn a new culture, being away from family and dealing with financial pressures — focusing on racism can be debilitating.

And governments have the ability to create legislation that will penalize them for not ensuring that the communities using their platforms are safe," said executive director Samya Hasan.

The SEO marketing platform analyzed 100,000 keywords in June and found Reddit was no longer in the top 10 linked domains in Google’s AI Overviews.

One incident included when it told a user to put glue on pizza to keep the cheese intact — a suggestion that seems to have been based on a Reddit comment more than a decade ago.

SE Ranking’s study also shows that LinkedIn, Wikipedia, and YouTube are in third, fourth, and sixth positions of the top 10 linked domains, respectively.

The SEO tool provider carried out a similar study in February before Google rolled out the AI feature to the public, which found that the overviews included many snippets from forums Reddit and Quora.

Google showed significantly fewer AI Overviews, previously called SGE (Search Generative Experience), in the June study than it did in February.

Liz Reid, the Search VP, addressed the pizza glue fiasco at a recent all-hands meeting, according to audio obtained by CNBC, saying the company would not “hold back features” if there were “occasional problems.”

The Israel Defense Forces have repeatedly struck Al-Mawasi — an inhospitable patch of land north of Rafah that has expanded into a crowded tent city — despite having designated it a safe humanitarian zone.

An investigation by NBC News into seven deadly airstrikes found Palestinians were killed in areas of southern Gaza that the Israeli military had explicitly designated as safe zones, including Al-Mawasi.

For Al-Sarafendi, her accounting of the damage and injuries stretched from the chaos of Wednesday night back to the attacks that had pushed her family into Al-Mawasi in the first place, as the grinding regularity of one violent assault bled into the other.

On June 8, Al-Sarafendi, who is originally from Rafah, was sheltering in Nuseirat, in central Gaza, when Israeli forces conducted an operation to rescue four hostages, killing at least 270 people, according to Palestinian health authorities.

The village has grown into a densely populated tent city since the start of the war, becoming more crowded as some of the more than 1 million people who were sheltering in nearby Rafah fled the ground invasion that began there last month.

Video filmed by rescuers and obtained by NBC News showed several people, apparently dead, blood pouring from their mouths, being pulled from a warehouse as it was engulfed in flames.

Of the many oddities you can buy from Aliexpress, some of the weirdest are the recreations of retro computer systems in semi-modern designs.

We’re most intimately familiar with the Book 8088, a recreation of the original 1981 IBM PC inside a chunky clamshell laptop.

The people behind the Book 8088 are also responsible for the Hand386, which is a bit like a late-80s PC stuck inside an old Palm Pilot or Blackberry, and a second revision of the Book 8088 with more built-in ports and a VGA-capable graphics adapter installed instead of a basic CGA adapter.

Whoever is selling these systems is now back with the Pocket 386, which combines Hand386-style internals with a clamshell design similar to the Book 8088.

The system also includes 8MB of RAM, one of three different replaceable VGA adapters (either a Cirrus Logic CL-GD542X, a TVGA9000i, or a CHIPS F655x5), a Yamaha OPL3 sound card, an 800x480 IPS display panel, a 4,000 mAh battery, and a CompactFlash slot for storage.

But even running off of a CompactFlash card instead of an ancient spinning HDD, expect Windows 95 support to be slow at best, particularly because of the technically inferior 386SX processor and the still-pretty-scanty 8MB of memory.

Television personality Judge Judy Sheindlin has ignited controversy on social media with her recent comments about Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and former President Donald Trump’s criminal hush money trial.

Sheindlin, known for her sharp-tongued judgments on her courtroom show, didn’t hold back when discussing the charges brought against Trump by Bragg’s office.

Sheindlin’s comments have sparked outrage among Trump critics on social media, with some arguing that her dismissal of the charges undermines the work of prosecutors and investigators involved in the case.

Ryan Shead, veteran commentator and host of the Hold the Mic podcast, wrote on X, formerly Twitter, on Friday, "When EVERYONE around someone like Trump starts going to prison for covering for him, that person is likely guilty too.

X user Marlene Robertson posted, "Judge Judy is literally telling the world that keeping her taxes lower is more important than democracy.

Sheindlin, a self-described political independent, previously backed former United Nations ambassador Nikki Haley in the 2024 Republican presidential primary.

China has threatened to impose the death penalty in extreme cases for “diehard” Taiwan independence separatists, a ratcheting up of pressure even though Chinese courts have no jurisdiction on the democratically governed island.

China, which views Taiwan as its own territory, has made no secret of its dislike of President Lai Ching-te, who took office last month, saying he is a “separatist”, and staged war games shortly after his inauguration.

Taiwan has complained of a pattern of ramped up Chinese pressure since Lai won the election in January, including ongoing military actions, trade sanctions and coast guard patrols around Taiwan-controlled islands next to China.

“The Beijing authorities have absolutely no jurisdiction over Taiwan, and the Chinese communists’ so-called laws and norms have no binding force on our people,” it said in a statement on Friday.

The guidelines add a further clause to what could be considered a crime – “other acts that seek to separate Taiwan from China” – meaning the rules can be broadly interpreted.

China has taken legal measures against Taiwanese officials before, including imposing sanctions on Hsiao Bi-khim, Taiwan’s former de facto ambassador to the US and now the island’s vice-president.

The mayor of the island of Hydra expressed “outrage” after the fire was started late on Friday and vowed legal action against those responsible.

The latest blaze was “caused by fireworks launched from a boat and burned the only pine forest on the island in a place that is difficult to access and has no road”, Hydra’s firefighting team said on Facebook.

On top of calling for legal action against the “irresponsible” people behind the fireworks, Hydra’s mayor Giorgos Koukoudakis told the ERT public broadcaster that authorities had to create more anti-fire zones and roads through forests.

The civil protection service called for extreme vigilance because the risk of fires was “very high”, particularly in the Attica region, the Peloponnese peninsula and in central Greece.

Firefighters on Friday battled wildfires fanned by three days of fierce winds that left at least one person dead, a 55-year-old man who collapsed and died while fighting flames around his village.

Rising temperatures are leading to extended wildfire seasons and increasing the area burned by the blazes, according to the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

After 15 years of recession and austerity and three rescue packages that came with tough conditions attached, labor in Greece is no longer strictly regulated.

Collective agreements have been frozen for years, and in many businesses, staff work on the basis of individual employment contracts.

Making sure that the authorities can do such monitoring tasks effectively is not a priority for the conservative government of Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis.

Kazakos is in favor of collective wage agreements, which are, however, being increasingly limited by legislation passed by the ruling conservative New Democracy (ND) government.

The official reason for the introduction of the six-day work week is that there is a shortage of skilled workers on the Greek labor market.

The new Greek regulation on the six-day work week and the reduction in arbitration proceedings that comes with it are turning back the clock, Kazakos told DW.
