Kazakh ruling party wins 54% of vote in snap election

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 16:51:52 GMT

Kazakhstan's ruling Amanat party received 53.9% of votes in a snap parliamentary vote, official data showed on Monday (20 March). This gave President Kassym Jomart Tokayev a mandate to reform the oil-rich country in line with his social justice goals.Although no opposition parties were represented in Sunday's elections, Western criticism was less severe than usual as Europe and America seek to strengthen relations with Russia's neighbors that have been shaken since Moscow's invasion.OSCE observers stated that reforms implemented before the vote addressed some of OSCE's previous recommendations and provided "increased choice for voters", but further changes were necessary.No opposition party was able to register before the election despite a formal relaxation of registration requirements, such as the number and origin of signatures required.At least one opposition group claimed that the government deliberately denied it registration.Kazakh officials said that positive and concerning ...

Ask Amy: I can’t let go of my unrepentent cheating husband

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 16:51:52 GMT

Dear Amy: My husband of 34 years has been cheating on me for years.When I confronted him last year and told him I knew everything, he said he doesn’t remember doing it. That’s an odd way to answer the cheating question.My problem is that even after all the things he’s put me through (giving her money, refusing intimacy with me, etc.) I still love him.Why do I love him? I have no idea. I definitely want a divorce, but I still care for him.After confronting him last year, I have been losing my hair and have lost 12 pounds all from stress. I cry myself to sleep almost every night. I don’t know why I can’t be strong enough to let go.I have spoken to people about this, including my pastor.I need your advice on how I can let go.HurtingDear Hurting: For most people, letting go is a process that can only be taken in stages.For you, letting go would start with you accepting the reality of your situation (you’ve done that). You should then come to grips with the fact t...

Harriette Cole: My anti-college husband flipped out about son’s travel costs

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 16:51:52 GMT

DEAR HARRIETTE: My son is in college, and the trips to visit him or bring him home for breaks and holidays are expensive.Recently, my husband asked me how much his spring break flight cost. When I told him, he hit the ceiling. This is not news. We talked about what college would cost before my son went there.My husband seems to be totally checked out. He made one contribution to the boy’s college bills and then seemingly washed his hands of the issue.Grumbling about costs now — especially when he’s not making a single effort to help pay the bills — irks me to no end. I don’t need to hear about how expensive college is. I would appreciate more financial support, though.Oh yeah, and he has some money. He could give something if he wanted to, but he doesn’t believe in college, so he is reluctant to contribute.Please HelpRelated ArticlesAdvice | Harriette Cole: Is this a bad way to deal with a co-worker who doesn’t like me?

License Plate Surveillance, Courtesy of Your Homeowners Association

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 16:51:52 GMT

At a city council meeting in June 2021, Mayor Thomas Kilgore, of Lakeway, Texas, made an announcement that confused his community.“I believe it is my duty to inform you that a surveillance system has been installed in the city of Lakeway,” he told the perplexed crowd.Kilgore was referring to a system consisting of eight license plate readers, installed by the private company Flock Safety, that was tracking cars on both private and public roads. Despite being in place for six months, no one had told residents that they were being watched. Kilgore himself had just recently learned of the cameras.“We find ourselves with a surveillance system,” he said, “with no information and no policies, procedures, or protections.”The deal to install the cameras had not been approved by the city government’s executive branch.Instead, the Rough Hollow Homeowners Association, a nongovernment entity, and the Lakeway police chief had signed off on the deal in January 2021, giving police access to reside...

Lab-grown chicken is one step closer to being sold in the US

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 16:51:52 GMT

Americans are one step closer to being able to buy chicken grown from animal cells, also known as lab-grown meat.Good Meat, the developer of such a chicken product, announced Tuesday that it has received a so-called “no questions” letter from the Food and Drug Administration. That letter states that the administration is satisfied that the product is safe to sell in the United States. The FDA issued a similar letter to another company that makes meat from cultured chicken cells, Upside Foods, in November.That’s a big step, but it doesn’t mean shoppers will be able to try the product just yet. To get the green light to sell to consumers, both companies need the go-ahead from the US Department of Agriculture.The FDA’s letter “clears a crucial step in bringing Good Meat to restaurants and retail in the US,” Good Meat said in a statement Tuesday, adding that it “is now working with the US Department of Agriculture on necessary approvals.&#...
