Bridge: April 10, 2023

Unlucky Louie is sure that fate is determined to do him in. He blames his bad results on bad luck.The real problem is that when things go wrong, Louie goes with them. When he played at today’s four spades, West found a trump lead. East let dummy’s eight win (not best). Louie then tried a club to his queen.West won and led another trump, and East took the ace and led a third trump. Louie then had nine tricks: three trumps, a ruff, two diamonds, two hearts and a club. He could have won another with astute play, but he tried unsuccessfully to set up his clubs and went down.GOOD DUCK“The man finds a good lead,” Louie growled, “his partner finds a good duck, and the clubs are foul as well.”Maybe Louie was fated to go down, but a good declarer would win the first trump, cash the A-K of hearts, ruff a heart, lead a diamond to dummy, ruff a heart, lead a diamond to dummy and ruff a diamond. He wins the first eight tricks and still has two trump winners in...

AFRICOM Chief to Congress: We Share “Core Values” With Coup Leaders

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 10:39:00 GMT

In Ghana and Côte d’Ivoire last month, 1,300 U.S., NATO, and African troops met for tactical training and mock raids as part of Flintlock 2023, an annual exercise sponsored by U.S. Special Operations Command Africa, or SOCAFRICA. Among the countries participating was Burkina Faso, which has been restricted from receiving substantial U.S. security aid since an officer trained by Americans at previous Flintlock exercises overthrew his democratically elected government in a coup last year.U.S. military officials have spent the last month trying to explain this curious state of affairs to Congress and the press. Flintlock provides a “critical training opportunity” for special operations forces from the U.S. and Africa and a chance to “exchange best practices,” Rear Adm. Milton “Jamie” Sands, the chief of SOCAFRICA, told The Intercept and other reporters on a conference call last month. He didn’t mention that, by the Pentagon’s own assessments, militant Islamist attacks in the Sahel have...

La población de tigres en peligro de extinción de la India se está recuperando en un triunfo para los conservacionistas

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 10:39:00 GMT

(CNN) — Los tigres alguna una vez vagaron por Asia, con un número de hasta 100.000 individuos a principios del siglo XX, antes de que la especie cayera al borde de la extinción.En 2006, su población en India, hogar de la mayoría de los tigres salvajes que quedan en el mundo, alcanzó un mínimo histórico de solo 1.411 individuos.Pero décadas de esfuerzos de conservación parecen finalmente haber valido la pena. Los tigres de la India se han más que duplicado desde entonces, llegando a 3.167 el año pasado, según el último censo de tigres publicado este domingo.Eso es aproximadamente el 70% de la población de tigres salvajes del mundo, que asciende a alrededor de 4.500, según el Fondo Mundial para la Naturaleza (WWF).India da la bienvenida a sus primeros guepardos recién nacidos en más de siete décadasEl resurgimiento de los tigres indios representa un triunfo para los conservacionistas y un rayo de esperanza para otros países que luchan por aumentar la cantidad de vida silvestre.E...

‘Succession’ delivers a major surprise as the show goes back to its future

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 10:39:00 GMT

In one astonishing turn, “Succession” took its audience back to where the show began five years ago, and indeed, the very roots of its title.The Emmy-winning HBO show kicked off, after all, with a media empire being thrown into chaos when its imperious leader fell ill, leaving his children and underlings to jockey over how to replace him, and to contemplate if anyone possibly could. The very title dealt with that scenario, while the intervening seasons have reinforced the sense that in terms of corporate savvy and grit, the apples can fall pretty far from the tree.The power of Brian Cox’s performance as that mogul, Logan Roy, made him seem practically immortal, the occasional infirmities of his age notwithstanding. But in one off-screen moment, Logan was gone, in the most protracted and painful fashion imaginable, leaving his stunned offspring to weakly try to say goodbye over the phone, and then grapple along with his subordinates with the implications of what his...
