Yoast’s former CEO calls for a ‘federated’ approach to WordPress repositoryOklahoma residents on Sunday mourned the death of former Democratic U.S. Sen. Fred Harris , a trailblazer in progressive politics in the state who ran an unsuccessful presidential bid in 1976. Harris died on Saturday at 94. Democratic Party members across Oklahoma remembered Harris for his commitment to economic and social justice during the 1960s — a period of historical turbulence. Harris chaired the Democratic National Committee from 1969 to 1970 and helped unify the party after its tumultuous national convention in 1968 when protesters and police clashed in Chicago. “Fred Harris showed us what is possible when we lead with both heart and principle. He worked to ensure everyone had a voice and a seat at the table,” said Alicia Andrews, chair of the Oklahoma Democratic Party. Harris appeared at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago earlier this year as a guest speaker for the Oklahoma delegation, where he reflected on progress and unity. "Standing alongside him in Chicago this summer was a reminder of how his legacy continues to inspire,” Andrews said. Kalyn Free, a member of the Choctaw nation of Oklahoma and the DNC, said that there is no one else in public service whom she admired more than the former senator. “He was a friend, a mentor, a hero and my True North. Oklahoma and America have lost a powerful advocate and voice,” Free said in a statement. “His work for Indian Country will always be remembered.” “Senator Harris truly was an Oklahoma treasure and was ahead of his time in so many ways,” said Jeff Berrong, whose grandfather served in the state Senate with Harris. “He never forgot where he came from and he always remained focused on building a society that would provide equality of opportunity for all.” Harris served eight years in the state Senate before he was elected to the U.S. Senate, where he served another eight years before his 1976 presidential campaign. State party leaders commemorated his work on the National Advisory Commission on Civil Disorders, or the Kerner Commission, to investigate the 1960s riots. Harris was the last surviving member of the commission. Shortly after his presidential campaign, Harris left politics and moved to New Mexico and became a political science professor at the University of New Mexico. —- Lathan is a corps member for the Associated Press/Report for America Statehouse News Initiative.

Indian-American OpenAI whistleblower Suchir Balaji found dead in US apartmentThe Managing Director of the Nigeria Export Processing Zones Authority, Dr Olufemi Ogunyemi, has said the Lekki Textile and Garment Special Economic Zone project located in the Eyin-Osa area of Epe, Lagos State, will generate 5,000 direct and over 20,000 indirect jobs when operational. Ogunyemi made the remarks while disbursing cash compensation to the seven Eyin-Osa families that contributed the 240.09 acres of land for the Federal Government project. A statement issued by the NEPZA Head, Corporate Communications, Martins Odeh, disclosed this on Sunday in Abuja. The MD, represented by Mrs. Chika Ibekwe, Director of Zone Operations, said that the community would be continually regenerated, adding that the benefits that would accrue from the gestures would spill over to several generations. The beneficiaries included families of Olayinka Salami, Aderenle village, Muhammed Balogun, Bashorun Seidu, Iyanda, Matanmi Mobolaji, as well as the Agara Onileyan respectively. “The space will generate 5,000 direct and over 20,000 indirect jobs for the country, just as it will serve the export markets of the South-West region. “There are many benefits to gain from the SEZ, including employment generation, especially to the local community, the opportunity for backward linkage, improvement of infrastructure network around the project, and others too numerous to mention now,” he said. Ogunyemi further said that the development was in line with the goals and objectives of the Federal Government’s Economic Recovery and Growth Plan. He, however, stated that the current administration of President Bola Tinubu is not just interested in attracting Foreign Direct Investments through the Free Trade Zone Scheme but was also interested in the development of all the host communities. “This exercise is to commence the application of the Authority’s new concept of Community Social Regeneration in order to open a new chapter of cooperation and mutual understanding to foster unhindered progress of the free trade operations across the country.

The Lekki Textile and Garments SEZ project is already attracting investment interest to this remote area of Lagos.,” Ogunyemi said. Ogunyemi also explained that the Federal Government had taken steps to replicate the economic scheme across the six geopolitical zones, adding that more states should leverage the speedy development potentials of the scheme. According to him, the Lekki Textiles and Garment SEZ will also serve as hubs for Information and Communication Technology, Agro-industries, as well as world-class sports and community development centres. On his part, the president of Eyin-Osa United Kingdom Development Association, Muftau Shittu, the umbrella association for the host community, said that the area had been occupied by their forefathers for over 500 years. He said that at the beginning, the enclaves and villages that constituted the community had lived in peace practising economic activities such as farming, hunting, fishing, brewing of hot drinks and timber lumbering. Shittu however, said that trouble started in mid-year 2003 when groups of land grabbers started claiming ownership of Eyin-Osa lands from the original and rightful owners. According to him, in May 2008, without due diligent information, the lands were expropriated to the Lekki Free Trade Zone, and the journey for adequate compensation with the Lagos State Government began. “We are delighted today for this humane approach of the federal government through NEPZA. The community can only imagine these good gestures as most of the earliest promises were not kept. We now have NEPZA management and government that are serious about regenerating the Eyin-Osa land. “We are happy to cede the total of 240.09 acres to NEPZA for the economic emancipation of our land. We pray that this cooperation and the steps to regenerate our people become permanent,” he added.

The Maharashtra excise department on Sunday cancelled the permit for serving alcohol at actor-singer Diljit Dosanjh’s concert at Kakade Farms in Kothrud, an official said. The department cancelled the permit after people from different quarters, including Kothrud’s newly elected BJP MLA Chandrakant Patil, objected to plans to serve liquor at the programme. The excise department informed that Suryakant Kakade, owner of Kakade Farm, had himself given a letter in this regard. “A team from the excise department submitted a report to the superintendent’s office in this regard. Taking note of the relevant report and Kakade’s letter, permission for the sale of liquor at the venue has been denied,” said Charan Singh Rajput, state excise commissioner. Calling the event a ‘social menace’ Patil, said that he has instructed Pune police commissioner Amitesh Kumar, Rajput, state excise commissioner, and district collector Suhas Diwase to take necessary steps after complaints from local about noise pollution and traffic in the area. Patil in a statement said, “...My opposition is not only aimed at the sale of liquor at the event but also at the traffic congestion and excessive noise that such an event would cause. I have instructed the police commissioner, excise department, and district collector to take immediate action to cancel this event... Events like this lead to traffic jams, and cause sound pollution which disturbs peace and environmental harmony in the society.” Former Kasba MLA Ravindra Dhangekar in a post on X stated, “Despite protests from Kothrud residents, Dosanjh’s show has been allowed to take place. No parking arrangements for nearly 40,000 persons attending the event at the venue which is adjoining the residential neighbourhood have been made which will cause untold suffering to the area residents. The administration and concerned officials responsible for giving permission and allowing the event to take place will be responsible for any untoward incident.”The Sabarmati Report , a Vikrant Massey -starrer film, has been declared tax-free in Gujarat and Uttar Pradesh .

After Trump's win, Black women are rethinking their role as America's reliable political organizersSKMCH to celebrate 30-year journey LAHORE : Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital and Research Centre (SKMCH&RC) Saturday launched a campaign to celebrate its 30-year journey of providing comprehensive cancer care to patients. Being a developing country, cancer was considered the ultimate symbol of hopelessness and almost certain death, Shaukat Khanum Hospital in Lahore emerged as the first beacon of hope. Despite initial scepticism about the hospital's model of providing free cancer treatment to over 75 percent of its patients, the hospital has continued to thrive and grow, thanks to the unwavering support of its donors and well-wishers. Over the past three decades, the hospital has spent Rs 102 billion to fund free cancer treatment, provided over 1 million chemotherapy sessions, 1 million radiation sessions, and brought cutting-edge technologies like Pakistan's first PET-CT scanner to the country. The hospital organises one of the country’s largest breast cancer awareness campaigns and has also established Punjab's first population-based cancer registry, which contributes data to the WHO's Global Cancer Observatory Report. As a model institution, SKMCH&RC aspires to achieve industry specific international accreditation and has achieved Joint Commission International Enterprise Accreditation, Quality in Oncology Practice Initiative (QOPI) certification, and College of American Pathologists certification.
