Some IS jihadists surrender in eastern Syria enclave but more remain

Some IS jihadists surrender in eastern Syria enclave but more remainThe jihadist group faces defeat in Baghouz on the banks of the Euphrates, but it still holds remote pockets of land further west and has launched guerrilla attacks in other areas where it has lost control. Baghouz, a collection of hamlets and farmland near the border with Iraq, is the last patch of populated territory Islamic State (IS) still holds in the area straddling the two countries where it declared a caliphate in 2014. The Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) said earlier on Monday they had slowed their assault because more civilians, previously thought to have completely evacuated, were trapped in the enclave, but they vowed to capture it soon.

Mueller Hammers Manafort's Lack of Remorse as Sentencing Nears

Mueller Hammers Manafort's Lack of Remorse as Sentencing NearsIn their final submission to U.S. District Judge T.S. Ellis III in Alexandria, prosecutors working for Mueller accused the former chairman of President Donald Trump’s 2016 election campaign of shifting blame to “everyone from the Special Counsel’s Office to his Ukrainian clients.” The filing came in response to Manafort’s bid for leniency. "Manafort suggests, for example, that but for the appointment of the Special Counsel’s Office, he would not have been charged in connection with hiding more than $55 million abroad, failing to pay more than $6 million in taxes, and defrauding three financial institutions of more than $25 million dollars,” prosecutors said. Manafort, 69, faces as long as 24 years in prison after being convicted of bank fraud, tax fraud and failing to disclose offshore bank accounts to U.S. authorities, following a trial last year.

Two sisters aged 5 and 8 'miraculously' found after 44 hours in Californian wilderness

Two sisters aged 5 and 8 'miraculously' found after 44 hours in Californian wildernessArmed with some outdoor survival training, granola bars and pink rubber boots, five- and eight-year-old sisters survived 44 hours in rugged Northern California wilderness before they were found dehydrated and cold but in good spirits on Sunday, authorities said. A fire chief and firefighter from a local volunteer department found Leia and Caroline Carrico in a wooded area about 1½ miles (2.3 kilometres) from their home in the small community of Benbow, where they had last been seen Friday afternoon, Humboldt County Sheriff William Honsal said. Benbow is about 200 miles (320 kilometers) northwest of Sacramento. The girls were "safe and sound" and uninjured, thanks in part to survival training they got with their local 4-H club, Mr Honsal said. "This is an absolute miracle," he said. "This is rugged territory, this is an extreme environment. How they were out there for 44 hours is pretty amazing." The sisters were last seen on Friday outside their home in California Credit: Humboldt County Sheriff's Office via AP A photo of one of the girls posted by the sheriff's office and already being widely shared on social media shows her wearing pink rubber boots, dirty jeans, a long pink shirt and a woolen cap. She is standing while a firefighter kneels down and talks to her. One person commented that "she looks like a seasoned outdoor gal" while another said, "those little adventurers will sure have a story to tell!" Mr Honsal said the girls were given fresh warm clothes, water and food and were being assessed but were in good spirits and doing well. "A lot of us didn't get any sleep the last 48 hours or so," Mr Honsal said. "To have a positive outcome like this is just absolutely amazing ... These girls definitely have a survival story to tell." He said the firefighters who found the girls had followed their boot prints. The firefighters were part of a massive search of a vast and rugged rural area that included a dozen agencies, including the National Guard, helicopters and tracking dogs. Rescuers were hopeful about finding the girls Saturday after they came across prints from their boots and wrappers from granola bars, Lt. Mike Fridley said. "The wrappers showed us a direction from where they started to where the wrappers ended up at," Mr Fridley said. Mr Fridley said he was the one who got to call the girls' mother and tell them her daughters were alive. "She melted on the phone," he said.

Iran's Khamenei doubted Europe could help Tehran against U.S. sanctionsA closed-door speech last year by Iran's Supreme Leader voicing doubt about the Iranian government's diplomatic overtures to Europe was released on Monday in a sign of feuding over foreign policy that led to a short-lived resignation by the foreign minister.

In #MeToo era, Ford lauded on left and right as honest and braveBefore the Senate hearing on Thursday, Ford had never appeared on camera, and was only depicted in news media reports with a grainy photo lifted from the internet. Thousands of conservatives took to social media to accuse Ford of lying to bring down Kavanaugh, who angrily and tearfully denied her accusations in a day of dramatic, high-stakes testimony from both the accused and the accuser. While Republican senators depicted her testimony as part of a partisan attack orchestrated by Democrats, they -- and Kavanaugh -- were careful not to attack Ford personally.

Google Study: Male Employees Are Underpaid More Often Than Females

Google Study: Male Employees Are Underpaid More Often Than FemalesGoogle released an internal analysis on Monday that indicates its male employees received less pay than other employees for doing the same work more often than their female counterparts.As a result of the findings, which were first reported by the New York Times, Google provided an additional $9.7 million to 10,677 employees, the majority of whom are men, to compensate them for unexplained discrepancies between their 2018 pay and that of co-workers who have the same responsibilities.Google conducts a pay-equity analysis on an annual basis in order to “look for unexplained differences in total compensation (salary, bonus, and equity) across demographic groups,” according to a blog post published Monday on the company website. The analysis included 91 percent of the company's total workforce, and excluded only those employees who work in a role with fewer than 30 other employees or employees representing fewer than five demographic groups.The study did not take into account other factors that might result in a gender-pay disparity, such as discrimination that leads to fewer women receiving promotions, or a phenomenon known as “leveling,” in which women may receive a lower starting salary than equally qualified men.“Our pay equity analysis ensures that compensation is fair for employees in the same job, at the same level, location and performance,” the blog post read. “But we know that’s only part of the story. Because leveling, performance ratings and promotion impact pay, this year, we are undertaking a comprehensive review of these processes to make sure the outcomes are fair and equitable for all employees.”Google is currently facing a class-action lawsuit in California that alleges widespread discrimination against female employees. The company is also facing a class-action lawsuit initially filed in 2017 by James Damore, a software engineer who was fired for circulating a memo that argued the disparity in gender representation and pay within the company may reflect biological differences between men and women that affect inherent interest levels in various fields.The Department of Labor opened an investigation into the company in April 2017 after finding “systemic compensation disparities against women pretty much across the entire workforce.”

Google compensates 'underpaid' male employees

Google compensates 'underpaid' male employeesGoogle has compensated many of its male workers after finding they received comparatively fewer bonuses and pay rises than women last year. The company, which has faced many accusations of failing its female employees, said it had automatically topped up men's pay to address a gender gap within its ranks of software developers. An analysis of pay across the company revealed that more women software engineers at a certain level had been handed bonuses or raises from managers throughout the year. Google said it paid $9.7m (£7.4m) to 10,667 employees to address last year's pay disparities. It did not disclose how much was spent topping up male software engineer salaries. The company uses algorithms to define an employee’s compensation based on the market rate, location, level and performance rating, but managers are given an extra budget which they can use for raises and bonuses if they believe a particular employee has excelled. The company's review found at a particular lower-level software engineering position - these had been disproportionately handed out to women, although it did not find a reason why. Google has repeatedly faced accusations of an unfair work environment. In 2017 it fired an employee who had written a viral "anti-diversity" memo arguing that a lack of women in senior positions was partially due to biological reasons. Former employees have sued the company claiming a pay bias against women, while a separate lawsuit claims its video website YouTube stopped hiring white men. Last year thousands of employees protested the company's alleged failures to deal with sexual harassment. To keep tabs on salaries, Google has conducted yearly pay equity reviews since 2012. If it finds any discrepancies, it will automatically pay adjustments. It said that it would be undertaking “a comprehensive review” of the system based on last years’ results. Lauren Barbato, Google’s human resources analytics chief said: “Our pay equity analysis ensures that compensation is fair for employees in the same job, at the same level, location and performance. But we know that’s only part of the story. "Because leveling, performance ratings, and promotion impact pay, this year, we are undertaking a comprehensive review of these processes to make sure the outcomes are fair and equitable for all employees.” Liz Fong-Jones, a former Google employee who recently quit the company, said the analysis "failed to control for under-promoting and under-levelling women". "If you have a group of women who are outperforming at level, of course they'll get given more manager discretion. This is not 'sexism against men'," Fong-Jones added.

How to make healthy pancakes - Easy ideas including gluten-free, vegan and dairy-free recipes

How to make healthy pancakes - Easy ideas including gluten-free, vegan and dairy-free recipesPancake Day is here and people avoiding gluten should not have to miss out on our favourite homemade breakfast or dessert dish. Not only are all of these pancake recipes free from gluten, but we have also selected some that are suitable for vegans, paleo dieters and those avoiding dairy - as well as those just wanting to eat healthily. After all - is there any better way to celebrate Pancake Day than with a big pile of delicious pancakes? Amazing gluten-free pancake recipes Healthy apple and banana oat pancakes Credit: Matt Russell These delicious 10-minute pancakes are gluten-free as well as being sweetened naturally with banana. MAKES Six pancakes INGREDIENTS 1 teacup of oats (about 80g)- use gluten-free oats if you are intollerant 1 apple ½ a teacup of nuts (about 50g) – pecans or almonds (for kids use another ½ cup of oats) 1 cup or about 150ml of milk of your choice (I use unsweetened almond) 1 medium banana coconut oil or butter, for frying To serve 2 apples the juice of ½ a lemon a pinch of cinnamon a tiny grating of nutmeg honey or maple syrup yoghurt of your choice (I use coconut) METHOD Get all your ingredients and equipment together. Put the oats into a blender and blitz until you have a rough scruffy four. Grate the apple. Put the nuts, milk, apple and banana into the blender and blitz until combined. Heat a non-stick pan on a medium heat and add a little coconut oil or butter. Allow it to melt, then add ladlefuls of the pancake batter to make Scotch pancake rounds. Cook for 2–3 minutes, or until bubbles rise to the surface. Use a spatula to carefully fip the pancakes over and cook on the other side. The first batch are always more delicate, so don’t worry if they look a bit scruffy. Keep them warm while you cook the rest. Once all your pancakes are done, use a speed peeler to peel your apples into long pieces then put into a bowl and toss with the lemon juice, the cinnamon and nutmeg. Serve the pancakes stacked and topped with the apple, maple syrup and, if you like, a little yoghurt.

SERVES Four INGREDIENTS For the plums 12 ripe plums 1 tbsp runny honey 1 tsp mixed spice 1 tsp grated orange zest 2 tbsp orange juice For the pancakes 100g ground almonds 25g coconut flour 1 tsp ground cinnamon 1½ tsp baking-powder 4 organic free-range eggs 200ml coconut milk seeds from 1 vanilla pod 1 tbsp runny honey 2 tbsp coconut oil METHOD Preheat the oven to 200C/gas 6. Cut the plums in half, discard the stones, and place eight of them (16 halves), cut-side up, on a parchment-lined baking-sheet. Mix together the honey, mixed spice, orange zest and juice and pour over the plums. Roast for 15 minutes, then remove and allow to cool. As the plums cool, they will release their natural juice. Blend the remaining four plums with the cooking juices and set aside. Put the ground almonds in a large mixing-bowl. Sift the coconut flour, cinnamon and baking-powder over the top and mix together thoroughly. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs with the coconut milk, vanilla seeds and runny honey, and then beat this into the dry mixture to make a smooth batter. Heat a small non-stick frying-pan over a low heat. Add a little coconut oil and drop a large spoonful of pancake batter into the hot pan (the mixture should be enough for four pancakes). Cook for one minute, then flip the pancake over and cook for a further minute on the other side until golden brown. Slide out of the pan and keep warm while you cook the remaining pancakes in the same way. Reheat the plums gently. Serve the pancakes with the warm plums, drizzled with the plum sauce.

SERVES Four; jam recipe makes 6-8 small jars INGREDIENTS For the pancakes 3 ripe bananas 6 organic eggs 100g (3½oz) dessicated coconut 1 tsp ground cinnamon coconut oil, for frying For the jam 3 ripe pomegranates 250g (9oz) frozen raspberries 120ml (4fl oz) agave nectar, or to taste 1 handful fresh thyme leaves juice of ½ lemon METHOD First make the jam. Halve the pomegranates and, holding them upside-down over a large bowl, tap the skin with a wooden spoon so that the seeds and any juice drop into the bowl. Discard the peel and membranes. Alternatively, fill the bowl with water and, with your hands submerged, release the seeds with your fingers, then scoop them out. Put the juice and seeds in a large saucepan, add the raspberries and agave nectar and heat slowly, stirring well. As soon as the mixture begins to boil, lower the heat, stir in the thyme leaves and simmer for 20 to 30 minutes. Meanwhile sterilise the jars by boiling them in hot water for several minutes. Add the lemon juice to the pan. Keep it on the heat for one more minute, then carefully pour it into the sterilised jars and close the lids. Allow to set at room temperature, then refrigerate. This will stay fresh in the fridge for a few weeks. To make the pancakes, peel the bananas and mash with a fork. Whisk the eggs in a bowl, mix with the mashed bananas, add the dessicated coconut and cinnamon, and stir to combine. Heat a little coconut oil in a frying-pan over a medium heat.

U.S. high court turns away religious rights case over church grants

U.S. high court turns away religious rights case over church grantsThe U.S. Supreme Court on Monday bypassed a chance to further expand the ability of religious entities to receive public funding, leaving in place a lower court ruling that blocked a New Jersey county from giving historic preservation grants to churches. The justices opted not to hear appeals of the ruling by New Jersey's top court that Morris County violated a state constitutional ban on using public funds to repair places of worship when it gave millions of dollars to 12 churches under its grant program for local historic preservation projects. The dispute could have given the justices an opportunity to build on a major 2017 Supreme Court ruling that opened the door to more taxpayer funds going to religious institutions.
