Ademola Adeleke “ It is with a sense of immense pride and responsibility that I stand before the good people of Ijeshaland this afternoon. In this great hall and in this historic city, we are set for the presentation of the staff of office and instrument of appointment to the new Owa Obokun of Ijeshaland, Oba Clement Adesuyi Haastrup. “I congratulate all distinguished sons and daughters of Ijeshaland both at home and abroad who are witnessing this historic moment. “Such an event took place over forty years ago when our revered departed father, Oba Gabriel Adekunle Aromolaran was presented his instrument of appointment and staff of office.

Sunday marked the latest in a series of protests against plans to build tent-like "sprung-structures" to house asylum seekers in Ottawa. Protesters lined up the street on Woodroffe Avenue beside the site of one of those proposed structures. The protest was organized by a group of residents from Merivale Gardens, including Robert Carberry who is asking the city to find a different location. "This is an environmentally sensitive piece of the Greenbelt. It just it doesn't make sense for so many reasons," said Carberry. "Putting 300 people where 300 people live just doesn't seem to work." One Ottawa city councillor says these protests are becoming more politically charged as the debate over the sites rages on. "My ward is screaming for more resources and more help from upper levels of government," said Rideau-Vanier Coun. Stephanie Plante. "Those conversations have to be measured. They must be nuanced, and they have to not be weaponized to help further other people's political ambitions." Plante took to social media highlighting concerns about a planned protest later in the week that is asking residents to sign up to attend by asking for phone numbers and emails. "They sort of identified themselves as concerned residents. And that's a bit weird to be asking that much personal information from people," Plante said. "I have been to a million community meetings over the years. You don't need that kind of personal information to organize a community meeting." At the Ottawa Mission, shelter space has reached a breaking point. The Mission said in its latest impact report that about 61 per cent of the shelter population is made up of asylum seekers. Mission CEO Peter Tilley says something needs to change. "It's been an incredible pressure, an incredible push on our capacity in terms of meals, frontline services, medical services" Tilley said. "We can understand the city coming up with one of the solutions being sprung shelters where that has to go. That's not our decision. But we do appreciate that the City of Ottawa is trying to find solutions to this overcrowding process." The City of Ottawa shows off examples of sprung structures. (City of Ottawa memo) Another protest on Woodroffe Avenue is planned for Thursday as the debate continues. Meantime, there are many who support the structures. This month, hundreds of people, including Ottawa Mayor Mark Sutcliffe attended a rally in support of asylum seekers. The city says there are 600 asylum seekers currently using Ottawa's shelter spaces. The sprung structures are expected to have on-site services such as translation and asylum claim assistance for those who come through its doors.

By ERIC TUCKER WASHINGTON (AP) — A ninth U.S. telecoms firm has been confirmed to have been hacked as part of a sprawling Chinese espionage campaign that gave officials in Beijing access to private texts and phone conversations of an unknown number of Americans, a top White House official said Friday. Biden administration officials said this month that at least eight telecommunications companies , as well as dozens of nations, had been affected by the Chinese hacking blitz known as Salt Typhoon. But Anne Neuberger, the deputy national security adviser for cyber and emerging technologies, told reporters Friday that a ninth victim had been identified after the administration released guidance to companies about how to hunt for Chinese culprits in their networks. The update from Neuberger is the latest development in a massive hacking operation that has alarmed national security officials, exposed cybersecurity vulnerabilities in the private sector and laid bare China’s hacking sophistication. The hackers compromised the networks of telecommunications companies to obtain customer call records and gain access to the private communications of “a limited number of individuals.” Though the FBI has not publicly identified any of the victims, officials believe senior U.S. government officials and prominent political figures are among those whose whose communications were accessed. Neuberger said officials did not yet have a precise sense how many Americans overall were affected by Salt Typhoon, in part because the Chinese were careful about their techniques, but a “large number” were in the Washington-Virginia area. Officials believe the goal of the hackers was to identify who owned the phones and, if they were “government targets of interest,” spy on their texts and phone calls, she said. The FBI said most of the people targeted by the hackers are “primarily involved in government or political activity.” Neuberger said the episode highlighted the need for required cybersecurity practices in the telecommunications industry, something the Federal Communications Commission is to take up at a meeting next month. “We know that voluntary cyber security practices are inadequate to protect against China, Russia and Iran hacking of our critical infrastructure,” she said. The Chinese government has denied responsibility for the hacking.Daily Dose of Social Media: Djokovic mimics Nadal in Del Potro’s farewell, Carlos Alcaraz enjoys a Dominican getawayAt the largest fall commencement in Southern New Hampshire University history, living history sat among the graduates. Born November 13, 1934 in Hooksett during the Great Depression, Annette Roberge spent her early years on the family farm on Hackett Hill Road. She graduated from Manchester Central High School in June 1953, marrying later that year to Edmond Roberge. Initially enlisted in the New Hampshire National Guard, Edmond and Annette started their family in Manchester, where they had their first three children: Donna, Patty, and Karen. When Edmond became an active duty servicemember for the U.S. Army, the family began to move every couple of years to a different home, both domestically and internationally. Edward's son was born in Washington D.C., and daughter Michele was born in Germany. But a year-and-a-half after Michele's birth, Edmond was getting offered a special assignment to Vietnam as an Intelligence Officer. While overseas, he was killed in action, leaving Annette a Gold Star widow with five children. "When you've been married for a period of time and all of a sudden you find out that you're the only one, it's like you've just been cut in half," Annette said. "Your other half is no longer there." In order to find more employment opportunities, Annette received assistance through the G.I. Bill to continue her education after Ed's death. She enrolled at what was then New Hampshire College in 1972 to study computer technology and business, attending night and weekend classes with her children in tow. "I would bring my coloring books, and I would be in there coloring while she was taking class," said her youngest daughter, recalling the nights with her mom in the classroom. But enrollment while raising five children on her own was a challenge, and Annette decided to put a pause on her formal pursuit of education. "I had to make sure that the welfare of my children came first," she said. "So, I put my dream on the back bumper." Over the next several decades, Annette found work in the insurance industry, retiring at 72 and re-retiring at 75 after working for several years in the cafeteria with the Manchester School District. The arts, travel, and time with family filled Annette's life in the years following. But for her, there was still unfinished business to attend to. In 2017, Annette reached out to the admissions office with what had then become SNHU to see what was needed to finish her degree. Health issues and the pandemic obstructed her earlier on, until just before her 90th birthday this year, when she decided to renew her status as a student once more. When the admissions office replied, she was surprised by what they found. Not only did she had enough credits to receive her Associate's Degree as far back as 1989, but she had some extra credits as well. For Annette, there was only one thing left to do. "I wanted to get it done because if I start something, I have to finish it," she said. To do exactly that, the now-grandmother of 12 and great-grandmother of 15 was walked up to the stage by her son Saturday morning at SNHU Arena. The mention of her name drew raucous applause, generations of students and families on their feet, witnessing the first-generation graduate mark a milestone, decades in the making. "I'm at a loss for words to describe my feelings right now," she said, when News 9 asked her to share her thoughts on the celebrity-level reception. "It's like you're walking on Cloud Nine." Annette is now considering getting her bachelor's degree online with the extra credits she now has. The entire process, she said, is one others with their own challenges can learn from: never give up on your dreams. "If you really, really want to do something, you'll get there. I did it, and if I can do it, I think anybody can," she said with a laugh.
