At the 93rd Interpol's General Assembly held in Marrakech, Morocco, from Nov 24 to 27, the global police highlighted the ghastly crimes experienced by innocent victims, including physical violence, sexual exploitation, torture and rape. "Interpol is committed to supporting the resolution's implementation and working with member countries to break these operations apart and protect the people who are most at risk," said Urquiza, according to Interpol's website." Interpol further added: "Often under the pretext of lucrative overseas jobs, victims are trafficked into compounds where they are forced to carry out illicit schemes such as voice phishing, romance scams, investment fraud and cryptocurrency scams targeting individuals worldwide." While the assembly was…...

Crews said there were multiple crashes Sunday morning starting around 5 a.m. The chief of the Alleghany County Rescue Squad told WXII that all the crashes are weather related. Icy roads have been reported on the Blue Ridge Parkway. Officials told WXII that they responded to a crash around 9:20 a.m. near mile marker 217 in the Cumberland Knob Park area.

1+ min ago (281+ words) Things can only get better. AMD has quietly listed the Ryzen 7 9850X3D processor in its 'Drivers and Downloads' section (via Gray). With this official mention, the existence of the product is all but confirmed, and if the new CPU does exist, it could be the next best processor for gamers in this generation of CPUs. AMD's Ryzen 7 9800X3D processor with eight cores running at up to 5.20 GHz with a 96MB last level cache already offers formidable performance in games. It has even inspired our Editor-in-Chief to call it the best gaming CPU. A higher product number almost certainly means higher performance, unless we are dealing with an OEM-specific SKU designed for a particular system. Tom's Hardware has inquired about the new SKU, but due to the long weekend, we don't expect a quick response. Now that TSMC's advanced packaging technologies enable AMD to…...

Mr Justice Richard Humphreys, who manages the court's planning and environment list, was delivering a judgment overturning Dublin City Council's planning approval for a 221-bed student accommodation development on lands at Church Lane, Santry, Dublin 9, after the council conceded the case. The developer, Aideen Whelan, a notice party, said she could not take on defending the case after the concession and the judge's indication that issues concerning public participation under EU law arose that would require clarification by the Court of Justice of the EU. While noting Ms Whelan's concern about losing a potential purchaser for the site, the judge said this was a "self-induced problem due to her having twice breached planning…...

We all know that at this moment, Israel does not accept the solution of two states, but we see it as the only [option] that could offer a solution." "We are also friends of Israel and we try with the two sides to be'let's say'a mediating voice that can help them come closer to a solution with justice for all," he continued.
