Skip all the babble and watch from 2:55 thru 6:05.

Kevin Friel (Deputy Director, Pension and Fiduciary Service at U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs) tells U.S. Representative Mat Rosendale and reaffirms that answer with U.S. Representative Morgan Luttrell (Chairman of the House Committee on Veterans’ Affairs Subcommittee on Disability Assistance and Memorial Affairs) that the VA will not comply with the laws Congress has passed but will instead go with "Interpretations" of those laws by the DOJ.

Let that sink in.

The Executive branch (The VA and DOJ) are telling the LEGISLATIVE branch that they will not comply with the laws Congress has passed and that have been signed into law because the DOJ has a different interpretation of said passed law(s).

This is all because of chevron deference being sent to its grave. When chevron deference was the law of the land the VA just asked the DOJ if it could take 2nd amendment Rights from Veterans who could not keep their finances in order. The DOJ said yes and for years the VA has blocked Veterans from owing firearms, adding their names to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) based on their ability to balance a bank account. Those Veterans we not given due processes, they did not have trial or arbitration, their rights were just removed and they had to apply to the VA to get them back. But again, the VA was a approving authority to give back the Rights THE VETERANS ADMINISRATION had taken away based on the DOJ interpretation of a law passed by Congress.

The first crime scene in the new season of “True Detective” isn’t that of the seven gnarled, naked bodies we see piled on top of one another in the snow at the end of Episode 1, but of a more mundane violence. A woman tries to flee her physically abusive boyfriend, and he tracks her down at work. This time, he gets walloped, with a metal bucket, by his girlfriend’s co-worker, an older woman. The blow leaves his face a gory mess. The officer who arrives to escort the man off the premises, Evangeline Navarro (Kali Reis), asks the girlfriend whether she’ll press charges against her ex; the trooper doesn’t offer him the same choice before putting him in cuffs. The local chief of police, Liz Danvers (Jodie Foster), isn’t exactly complimentary when she later says that Navarro’s “got this thing about women who get hurt.” The arrest feels righteous, but the stench of the man’s menace lingers. Tidy endings are hard to come by, especially once blood has been spilled.

There’s a refusal to separate or elevate sensational brutality from the everyday sort in this latest installment of the HBO anthology drama—a feminist revision of a series best known for its macho poetry and its ogling eye. The show’s creator, Nic Pizzolatto, had his mostly male investigators contend with child murderers and pedophile rings; the QAnon-esque luridness of those crimes haunted the grizzled detectives for decades thereafter. The writer-director Issa López, who has taken over from Pizzolatto as showrunner, moves the action from sunbaked states to the fictional town of Ennis, Alaska, where, as of mid-December, daylight won’t return for several weeks. The uninterrupted Arctic dark lends the season its subtitle, “Night Country,” as well as its wintry, edge-of-civilization atmospherics. Watching the six-part season from under a blanket in California, I couldn’t get warm.

The dead men who form the chilly, Boschian tableau at the pilot’s conclusion are (or were) scientists at a research station on the outskirts of Ennis. With unknown funders and an improbable mission, the facility was shrouded in mystery even before its occupants turned up on the ice with their faces literally frozen in horror. But Navarro is hopeful that their bizarre fate will offer some clues in a homicide case that she and Danvers worked on years earlier—the unsolved murder of a Native woman named Annie Kowtok (Nivi Pedersen), who agitated against the mine that the town relies on for most of its jobs—when Annie’s severed tongue materializes, without explanation, in the scientists’ mess hall.

Here, the “True Detective” formula kicks in: Danvers and Navarro reunite as partners despite their mutual suspicion, and their rocky history eventually threatens their credibility on the new case. Conspiracies, hostile forces, and occult flourishes abound. The universe of the show is one in which the police—even the brilliant ones—are always failing. Danvers has long since reconciled herself to that reality: of the earlier cold case, she says, “This one was never gonna be solved. Ennis killed Annie.” She’s an outsider, unmoved by Navarro’s insistence that a white murder victim wouldn’t have been so readily forgotten. Nor is she particularly sensitive toward her stepdaughter, Leah (Isabella Star LaBlanc), whose newfound embrace of political activism—and of her Native heritage—she considers a needlessly risky attempt at teen-age rebellion. In Danvers’s view, there’s no ridding the world, or even her own squad, of shit-heels and malefactors; there’s only limiting the damage.

Whereas Pizzolatto’s iteration of the show had few female characters of substance, the new season delights in the complexities of its women protagonists. The chief’s no-nonsense veneer allows her to insult her subordinates, including her shiftless deputy Hank (John Hawkes), without it feeling all that personal. But she’s got a maternal side—one that she indulges with Hank’s son, Peter (Finn Bennett), a junior officer—as well as a penchant for affairs with married men that’s made her persona non grata among many women in town.

Foster has spent much of the past decade and a half behind the camera, as a director, but she’s lost none of the cerebral confidence that has underpinned her distinctive sex appeal. It’s no shock that she’s compulsively watchable. It is a pleasant surprise that her nearly unknown co-star is just as compelling, with a refreshingly naturalistic screen presence. Reis, a professional boxer turned actor with cheek piercings where her dimples might be, looks so solid from the neck down that her body is like one long, taut muscle, but her character has a habit of picking fights she’s unlikely to win. Navarro’s volatility masks deep-seated vulnerabilities. Her unstable mother died before sharing Navarro’s Inupiaq name with her, leaving her painfully disconnected from her culture. She lives in fear that her sister, Julia (Aka Niviâna), who’s already been institutionalized once, may slip through the cracks if she continues to resist treatment—and that Julia isn’t the only member of the family who inherited their mother’s hallucinations. Not everyone finds the apparitions the siblings struggle to shake off so unnatural. “Ennis is where the fabric of all things is coming apart at the seams,” Navarro’s friend Rose (Fiona Shaw) says; she routinely sees her deceased lover roaming the tundra. “This is Ennis, man,” another character says simply. “You see people who are gone sometimes. It’s a long fucking night. Even the dead get bored.”

In the prestige-TV era, the police procedural has grasped for cachet through social critique (“The Wire”) or cool vibes (“Fargo”). Some achieve both—“Top of the Lake” is an easy example—but, in less adept hands, the former can feel like homework and the latter a shallow exercise in style. (In the most recent season of “Fargo,” self-serious kitsch and punishing sincerity layered irritation on irritation.) Pizzolatto’s “True Detective,” which last aired five years ago, ran largely on vibes, too, and when sleaze and nihilism couldn’t sustain its overcomplicated plotting, the mysteries sagged.

López has accomplished the uncommon feat of resuscitating a franchise that didn’t deserve saving. She first broke out with “Tigers Are Not Afraid,” a 2017 film that blended human horrors and magical realism, and her season of “True Detective” pulls off the same balancing act. Although Danvers, like the show’s original protagonist (played by Matthew McConaughey), obsesses over “asking the right questions,” López isn’t always interested in furnishing answers, and the series mostly benefits from her willingness to dwell in ambiguity. Are Julia’s visions a by-product of schizophrenia, as her doctors suggest, or rooted in spiritual truth? The matter is never fully litigated. López’s dialogue is more pedestrian than her predecessor’s, but she has an instinct for imagery that’s both genuinely frightening and strangely inviting, amplifying the scripts’ thematic heft. “Night Country” plays with the gendered expectations behind certain TV-cop tropes: it’s Danvers, not Hank, who models self-destructive workaholism for Peter, downing vodka alone and poring over case files before pulling him away from his family on Christmas Eve. The season is similarly probing about the moral authority that can be reflexively assigned to women over men in our fantasies of female vengeance for male aggression. Through it all, meditations on the unknowability of the cosmos are offset by close observations of relationships—however contingent or dysfunctional they may be. By grounding her supernatural whodunnit in more intimate, interpersonal dramas, López transforms “True Detective” from a lot of mystical mumbling into a show with something to say. ♦

Sun 12th Feb:

What a week 😭 Area manager came into work on Monday to tell my manager he was leaving as of Saturday and going to another store after his wedding to turn it around. He's definitely the person for the job but also now it's just the deputy manager and me for the foreseeable to run our store. So spent a lot of time, effort and money this week on having a whip round for him and getting everyone to sign cards, ordering wedding and leaving presents, baked him a cake and made him up a survival hamper to take to the other store. And just like that, the end of an era 😭😭

Aside from that bombshell, work has just been v busy and intense bc we had a few people off and a few sick calls to just really rub it in. Thursday it all got too much for me and I had to go home early, wracked with guilt for leaving everyone else in the shit. But I've made up for it over the weekend!

Had Friday off in between and... we finally booked the wedding!!! Signed the contract with the venue! We have a date!! 8th August 2024 🥰 then I went to see my best friend for coffee and she told me she's pregnant!!! I'm going to be Auntie Nic 🥺 THEN I went to see Nanna Mary and asked her if she would walk me down the aisle with Nanna Ann and she said yes!!! So Friday made up for all the shitty parts of the week. But it's still been a wildly emotional one. I've cried a lot 🤣

Anyway. My friend got me this cute mug and of course I have to show it off to @idratherberunning49 - this can be my pre-Monday mugshot since I'm up at 4.30 tomorrow and will 100% forget to take one.

Report from UN Science Summit 2024/ Reimagining urban futures: how cities can champion longevity and prevention using novel approaches, tools, and data.

On September 20th, 2024, at the United Nations Science Summit in New York, a distinguished panel of experts convened to discuss a vision that could revolutionise our urban landscapes for healthy longevity.

The session, titled "City of Longevity: Making Cities Champions of Prevention," marked the global premiere of NICA’s City of Longevity toolkit, a comprehensive and articulated program designed to transform evidence into actionable solutions, creating "healthy longevity formulas." This proprietary methodology and software can be used interactively with citizens or enhanced with AI support.

Frame from City of Longevity toolkit.

Drawing on this revolutionary foundation, the session brought together diverse perspectives from urban planning, gerontology, economics, and public health. As the moderator of this ground-breaking discussion, Prof. Nic Palmarini had the privilege of guiding a conversation that not only highlighted the challenges we face but also illuminated a brighter path forward for healthier, more resilient cities.

The Urgent Need for Urban Health Transformation

Our cities are at a crossroads. With rapidly ageing populations and increasing chronic disease burdens, urban centres worldwide are grappling with unsustainable healthcare costs and declining quality of life for many residents. Dr. Lars Hartenstein, co-founder of the McKinsey Health Institute, aptly summarized our current predicament: "We have a narrative and an action gap." We know what needs to be done, but translating that knowledge into concrete action remains a significant challenge. The City of Longevity approach provides a clear framework for real action.

The panel unanimously agreed that a paradigm shift is necessary. As Prof. Dr. med. Elisabeth Steinhagen-Thiessen from Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin emphasised: "We produce these chronically ill people. This is the story. Normally, we should heal the diseases. We don't do that." This stark assessment underscores the need to move from a reactive healthcare model to a proactive, preventative approach.

A Holistic Approach to Urban Health

Horacio Terraza, Urban Lead at the World Bank and the Inter-American Development Bank, stressed the importance of comprehensive urban planning. "We need to think city-integral," he stated, highlighting the interconnectedness of urban systems and their collective impact on health. This holistic view includes everything from transportation and housing to green spaces and social services.

Horacio Terraza, The World bank

Data-Driven Decision Making and Measurable Outcomes

Dr. Yochai Shavit, Director of Research at Stanford Centre on Longevity, emphasised the critical role of data and research in guiding longevity initiatives. "What we need to think about is where research is required to set benchmarks and establish clear goals for people to pursue," he noted. This call for measurable outcomes resonated throughout the discussion, with panellists agreeing that cities need concrete targets to become longevity champions.

The potential of artificial intelligence and big data analytics to accelerate this process was a recurring theme. These technologies offer unprecedented opportunities to identify health trends, predict risks, and tailor interventions to specific populations.

Yohcai Shavit, Stanford Centre on Longevity

Citizen Engagement: The Heart of Healthy Cities

One of the most powerful messages to emerge from the panel was the crucial role of citizen participation. Prof. Lynne Corner, Deputy Director at NICA and Co-Founder of the Edelman Longevity Lab, passionately advocated for this approach, stating, "Citizens as co-creators, co-designers of this journey of longevity are absolutely essential."

This sentiment was echoed by Dr. Joachim Rautter, Managing Director of the Berlin Innovation Centre for Ageing and Longevity, who shared insights from Berlin's grassroots movements. "What we are currently trying to do in Berlin is a bottom-up approach from the citizens' level," he explained, illustrating how community-driven initiatives can catalyse city-wide change.

The panel agreed that successful longevity initiatives must balance top-down policy approaches with grassroots citizen movements. By involving residents in the design and implementation of health initiatives, cities can ensure that interventions are culturally relevant, widely accepted, and effectively address local needs.

Lynne Corner, NICA+VOICE

Economic Implications and the "Business Model for Prevention"

The discussion also delved into the economic aspects of urban longevity initiatives. Prof. Dr. med. Elisabeth Steinhagen-Thiessen highlighted the workforce implications, noting, "When we have so many chronically ill elderly by the age of 55, we lose all these people. They could have worked; they could have been healthier."

This led to a critical insight: investing in prevention and longevity isn’t just about reducing healthcare costs—it’s about maintaining a productive, engaged workforce and fostering economic vitality. As Prof. Lynne Corner pointed out, "We have no business model for prevention, and that’s the opportunity to shift our thinking towards developing one. This must become the norm."

The panel explored how cities could incentivise businesses to invest in employee health, create age-friendly workplaces, and develop products and services that promote longevity. The potential for a "longevity economy" emerged as an exciting prospect, with opportunities for innovation and growth across various sectors, from health tech to urban design.

Cultural Relevance and Local Solutions

A key takeaway was the importance of tailoring longevity initiatives to local cultures and contexts. As I noted during the panel, "Don’t give people cherries if they like strawberries. You have to leverage cultural factors in cities." This was illustrated by Prof. Dr. med. Elisabeth Steinhagen-Thiessen's example of a successful strawberry trial in Rostock, Germany, which improved participants' health while fostering community engagement.

The panel agreed that while global knowledge-sharing is crucial, solutions must be adapted to fit local cultures, preferences, and resources. This approach ensures higher adoption rates and long-term sustainability of health initiatives.

Addressing Social Determinants of Health

Throughout the discussion, the importance of addressing social determinants of health was a recurring theme. As noted in the introductory remarks, individual behavior and social circumstances account for about 60% of health outcomes. This underscores the need for cities to look beyond traditional healthcare and consider factors such as housing, education, income inequality, and social cohesion in their longevity strategies.

Dr. Lars Hartenstein emphasised the need for targeted interventions, noting that different population segments may require distinct approaches. For instance, middle-income groups may face unique health challenges that demand specific attention.

The Role of Technology and Innovation

The potential of technology to accelerate progress in urban health was a topic of great interest. From AI-powered health risk assessments to smart city infrastructure that promotes physical activity, the panel explored various ways in which innovation could support longevity initiatives.

However, the experts cautioned against over-reliance on technology. As Dr. Joachim Rautter noted, "You need all the stakeholders in the field, including the big brands." This reminder emphasised the importance of human connections and community engagement alongside technological advancements.

Moving from Knowledge to Action

A consistent theme throughout the discussion was the urgent need to translate knowledge into concrete action. As Dr. Lars Hartenstein pointed out, "We already know so much. We could act comprehensively based on what we know today."

As the session concluded, one thing was clear: the path to longevity doesn’t just run through our hospitals or research labs; it weaves through our streets, schools, workplaces, and communities. The City of Longevity provides a blueprint and a practical solution for a healthier, happier future for all, based on:

A spirit of strengthened global solidarity;

Connecting different agendas because we are better together;

Breaking down silos to create practical solutions;

Sharing data-driven approaches;

Open, flexible, and updatable frameworks;

Building on what's working with "immediately actionable interventions" that focus on the most vulnerable and involve all stakeholders, from countries to communities.

Bridging the Implementation Gap

The panel explored various strategies for bridging the current implementation gap, including:

Creating cross-sector partnerships between government, business, academia, and community organisations;

Accelerating pilot projects to test and refine longevity initiatives locally before scaling them up;

Establishing knowledge-sharing "longevity formulas" between cities to accelerate the adoption of best practices;

Investing in public education and awareness campaigns to empower citizens to make healthier choices;

Advocating for policy changes that support preventative health measures and age-friendly urban design.

Conclusion: A Call to Action for Cities Worldwide

As our panel discussion drew to a close, one thing was abundantly clear: transforming our cities into champions of longevity and prevention is not just desirable—it’s urgent and imperative. The challenges we face, from aging populations to rising chronic disease rates, demand a fundamental reimagining of our urban environments.

But this transformation also represents an unprecedented opportunity. By investing in longevity, cities can improve the health and well-being of residents, drive economic growth, foster innovation, and create more resilient, sustainable environments and communities.

The path forward will require collaboration on an unprecedented scale. It will demand breaking down silos between sectors, engaging citizens as true partners, and reimagining long-standing systems and practices. The City of Longevity represents a practical step towards making this vision a reality.

As we concluded our session at the UN Science Summit, there was a palpable sense of optimism and determination among the panellists and the audience, who joined remotely from multiple global locations.

The City of Longevity is not just a distant ideal—it’s a practical blueprint for a healthier, happier urban future.

To all those reading this—whether you're a city official, a business leader, a healthcare professional, or a concerned citizen—we invite you to join us.

Together, we can transform our cities into beacons of health, vitality, and longevity for generations to come. The future of urban health is in our hands. Let’s build it together.

CEO of Julius Bär steps down in wake of Signa losses

Julius Bär said it would exit its private debt business after writing down all of its loans to the bankrupt Signa companies, and confirmed that Chief Executive Officer Philipp Rickenbacher is stepping down as a result of the matter. The Zurich-based lender said it is taking a full loan loss allowance of CHF586 million ($679 million) related to the exposure, in a statement with full-year earnings on Thursday. Net income at the wealth manager for 2023 slumped 52% from a year earlier. The decisions may help alleviate weeks of uncertainty around Julius Bär following the disclosure in November that the bank had extended about $700 million in loans to property magnate Rene Benko’s companies. Rickenbacher, in the top job since 2019, had attempted to push the wealth manager into new business areas including private credit. + Read more: Julius Bär probed by Swiss regulator over Signa risk lapses The bank said that deputy CEO Nic Dreckmann would take over the top job until a permanent... https://www.swissinfo.ch/eng/business/ceo-of-julius-baer-steps-down-in-wake-of-signa-losses/49176548?utm_campaign=swi-rss&utm_source=multiple&utm_medium=rss&utm_content=o (Source of the original content)

By • Olalekan Fagbade DIG forcefully retired from the Force drags Police Service Commission [PSC] to Court A compulsorily retired Deputy Inspector General (DIG) of Police, Mr Moses Ambakina Jitoboh, has prayed the National Industrial Court (NIC), sitting in Abuja, to declare his retirement by the Police Service Commission (PSC), before his mandatory 60 years retirement age or 35 years in service as wrongful, unconstitutional and unlawful. Jitoboh, in his statement of claims filed before the court, further described his purported compulsory retirement as a flagrant violation of Rule 020810 of the Public Service Rules and Section 18 (8) of the Nigeria Police Act, 2020,respectively. The PSC, it will be recalled, had purportedly retired DIG Jitoboh and three others on the ground of upholding the Police tradition of retiring, when a junior Police officer is promoted over his senior to avoid “status reversal”. The retired DIG of Police is also praying for an order of the court directing the PSC to pay the sum of N500,000,000.00(Five Hundred Million Naira) only as general damages for the unwarranted embarrassment caused by the purported termination of his employment as he had been portrayed to be a disloyal officer. He is also asking for another sum of N50, 000, 000.00 (Fifty Million Naira) only as the cost of prosecuting this action. Jitoboh, in his statement of claims, maintained that he was and remains an officer of the Nigeria Police Force until the 10th day of June, 2029 when he would have attained 35 years in service and duly retire and that he is therefore entitled to his salaries, emoluments and all other paraphernalia of office due to him. The compulsorily retired DIG is seeking the declaration of the National Industrial Court that pursuant to Section 4 (3) of the Police Service Commission Act, 2001 the defendant (PSC) has no valid Board to take any decision whatsoever purporting to retire or promote any Police Officer as the PSC Board tenure elapsed in July of 2023. #DIGforcefullyretiredfromtheForcedragsPoliceServiceCommissiontoCourt

Inspector Warren Jacobi (Tyrees Allen) – Lindsay's loyal partner. He was up for the lieutenant position that went to Tom, but has not expressed much disappointment that he didn't get the job, seeming to prefer field work to the politics of the higher position. He also seems to prefer the finer things in life, having an affinity for wine, 30-year-old whiskey, and opera. He is thrice-divorced and has a child from one of those marriages.

Lieutenant Tom Hogan (Rob Estes) – Lindsay's ex-husband, who in the first episode was promoted to lieutenant and assigned as her boss. He is engaged in the pilot and has remarried by "To Drag and to Hold," but he still worries that Lindsay's obsession with her work will consume her. Tom was played by Christopher Wiehl in the unaired pilot.

Deputy District Attorney Denise Kwon (Linda Park) - Jill's immediate superior at the DA's office, she clashes with her over her "bleeding heart" style. She is also antagonistic towards Jill due to her past romantic history with Hanson North. When the show returned after the writers' strike, the first episode credits no longer showed her name. But by the second episode, she was back in the credits as a series regular.

Recurring cast[edit]

Luke Bowen (Coby Ryan McLaughlin) – Jill's ex-boyfriend. He is an ER doctor at the fictional Mission Cross North. Jill and Luke have recently broken up after he finds that she had slept with Hanson.

Danielle Moné Truitt as Sergeant Ayanna Bell, squad supervisor of the OCCB task force and Stabler's current direct superior and partner.

Ainsley Seiger as Detective 2nd Grade Jet Slootmaekers, a former independent hacker who is recruited to the OCCB task force on Stabler's recommendation. She was requalified as an NYPD officer to work with the OCCB task force. In season 3 episode 16 ("Chinatown"), she is promoted from Detective 3rd Grade to Detective 2nd Grade.

Tamara Taylor as Prof. Angela Wheatley (seasons 1–2), a former math professor at Columbia University, ex-wife of Richard Wheatley, and a suspect in the hit ordered on Kathy Stabler. She committed suicide and presumably murdered Richard at the same time after discovering that Richard was responsible for her son Richie's murder.

Dylan McDermott as Richard Wheatley (seasons 1–2), son of notorious mobster Manfredi Sinatra, now a businessman and owner of an online pharmaceutical company who leads a second life as a crime boss, and was a suspect in the murder of Stabler's wife. He was presumed murdered by Angela after she discovered that Wheatley murdered their son Richie.

Nona Parker Johnson as Detective 3rd Grade Carmen "Nova" Riley (season 2, recurring season 2), an undercover narcotics detective working under Brewster's command to infiltrate the Marcy Killers. She retires from the NYPD and leaves New York after the murder of the gang's leader Preston Webb.

Brent Antonello as Detective 2nd Grade Jamie Whelan (season 3), a detective with the OCCB. In the season 3 finale, he is shot and paralyzed by Kyle Wilkie and later dies in the hospital.

Rick Gonzalez as Detective 2nd Grade Bobby Reyes (season 3–present), an undercover detective with the OCCB.

Chicago pd

Jason Beghe as Sergeant Henry "Hank" Voight, the enigmatic and often mercurial chief of the Chicago P.D.'s Intelligence Unit. Despite his brutal, tough exterior, he is loyal to the cops and detectives serving under him and highly "dedicated" to the victims of the crimes his unit investigates to the point of committing human rights violations, mainly torture, and not respecting the law. He is first introduced in Chicago Fire as a dirty cop who clashes with CFD Lieutenant Matthew Casey after Voight's son, Justin, causes an accident in which a teenager is paralyzed, and Casey, who was first on scene, had intended to testify that Justin was DUI. He is arrested by Det. Antonio Dawson for trying to have Casey silenced by force but is later released from prison and reinstated to the police force by Internal Affairs. As a result, many of Casey's colleagues dislike him, and Casey's superior Chief Boden has a love-hate working relationship with him. It is eventually revealed in the Chicago Fire episode "Let Her Go" that his dirty cop alter ego was part of an undercover operation to catch criminals and other dirty cops. Prior to taking command of Intelligence, Voight worked in the Gang Unit. His father Richard was a former CPD officer who was killed in the line of duty. Voight is a widower; his wife, Camille, died of cancer some years prior. His son, Justin, served in the Army and was killed in the last episode of season 3 while trying to help a friend. Voight took an interest in Erin Lindsay at 14 and raised her as his daughter.

Jon Seda as Senior Detective Antonio Dawson (seasons 1–6), an Intelligence Unit detective who previously arrested Voight for harassment and has since worked alongside him. Unlike Voight, he has limits on how far he will go to get criminals off the streets, as shown by the fact that he asks Halstead to stop Voight from killing anyone while on the hunt for Pulpo because he does not want it on his conscience. He and his ex-wife Laura have two children: Diego and Eva. He is the older brother of Chicago Fire character Gabriela "Gabby" Dawson. In season 4, he is offered a job at the State's Attorney's Office as Lead Investigator, which he accepts. After becoming disillusioned with the job, he returns to the unit in the first episode of season 5. In season 6, Antonio struggles with recovering from a shoulder injury and dependency on the oxycodone he is taking for the pain. After a dealer he owes kidnaps, beats, and rapes his daughter, Antonio, high on oxy, kills him in revenge. Though Voight and Ruzek manage to cover up the incident as self-defense, and Antonio successfully recovers in rehab, mayor-hopeful Superintendent Brian Kelton later gets the case reopened in order to take down the Intelligence Unit, and in the season finale, Antonio relapses after Ruzek is arrested after taking the blame for everything to protect him. In the season 7 premiere, it is revealed that Voight found Antonio and checked him into an off-the-books rehab clinic to get him clean again while also protecting his career. It was revealed several episodes later that Antonio resigned and moved to Puerto Rico to spend more time with his family.

Sophia Bush as Detective Erin Lindsay (seasons 1–4),[7] a tough Intelligence Unit detective and former CI whom Voight took under his wing when she was a juvenile delinquent. Because of this, she is closer to Voight than the other members of the unit. She has a half-brother, Teddy Courtney, who was taken by a pedophile ring at age thirteen and was found turning tricks in New York City 10 years later. She was in a relationship with her partner Jay Halstead from seasons 2 to 4. Near the end of the fourth season, Lindsay is accused of assault after she sticks her gun down a pedophile's throat in the interrogation room; facing possible dismissal from the police force, she accepts a job offer at the FBI in New York and leaves Chicago.

Jesse Lee Soffer as Senior Detective Jay Halstead (seasons 1–10), an Intelligence Unit detective who was Detective Lindsay's partner. A former Army Ranger, he is confident in his abilities and sometimes comes across as cocky. He also suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder, shown progressively during Season 5, later seeking therapy for it. He is the older brother of Chicago Med character Dr. Will Halstead. He was in a relationship with his partner Erin Lindsay from season 2 until she transferred to the FBI in New York at the end of season 4. He later marries fellow detective Hailey Upton in season 9. Following Olinsky's death and Antonio's resignation, Halstead becomes Voight's right-hand. He later resigns from the force early in season 10 after becoming disillusioned with the gray area the Intelligence Unit has to work in, and returns to the Army in a new job hunting drug cartels in Bolivia.

Patrick John Flueger as Officer Adam Ruzek, a younger police officer recruited straight out of the academy by Olinsky to do undercover work. He is often portrayed as an overeager amateur who dives headfirst into a situation without thinking. His parents are separated, and he split time between his father, "Disco Bob" Ruzek (Jack Coleman), a longtime patrol officer with the 26th District who lives in Beverly, and his mother in Canaryville. He was engaged to fellow police officer Kim Burgess.

Marina Squerciati as Officer Kim Burgess, a former flight attendant turned uniformed patrol officer who was Atwater's partner. She was then partnered with Sean Roman before his departure. Burgess is shot in "Called in Dead" and spends the next episode recovering. She was engaged to Adam Ruzek; the relationship is later broken off because of commitment issues. She later develops feelings for Roman before he moves to San Diego. In season 4, she is offered a job in Intelligence, which she accepts.

LaRoyce Hawkins as Officer Kevin Atwater, a uniformed patrol officer who was Burgess' former partner until he was promoted to the Intelligence Unit. He is responsible for caring for his younger siblings, his brother, Jordan, and sister, Vanessa. After his brother testifies to a grand jury about a crime he witnessed, and Vanessa is threatened with rape for her brother being a snitch, he sends them to live with their aunt in Texas.

Archie Kao as Detective Sheldon Jin (season 1), a tech and surveillance expert. He was discovered to be a reluctant mole working for Internal Affairs sergeant Edwin Stillwell, who had leverage to make him cooperate. He is found murdered in the first-season finale episode, "A Beautiful Friendship".

Elias Koteas as Senior Detective Alvin Olinsky (seasons 1–5), a veteran undercover officer and a friend of Voight who previously worked with him in the Gang Unit. Before joining the force, Olinsky served in the 173rd Airborne Brigade Combat Team stationed in Vicenza, Italy. Olinsky mentions in "Called in Dead" that he has eight confirmed kills in the line of duty. At the end of the fifth season, Olinsky is arrested for the murder of Kevin Bingham, the man who murdered Voight's son, Justin, and is later stabbed to death via a hit in prison while awaiting trial.

Amy Morton as Sergeant Trudy Platt (season 2–present; recurring season 1), a sarcastic desk sergeant of District 21, and the immediate superior of the district's patrol officers. Before taking a desk job, she was a uniformed patrol officer, and worked with Dawson. She passed the detective's exam twice. Platt is married to Chicago Fire character Randy "Mouch" McHolland.

Brian Geraghty as Officer Sean Roman (seasons 2–3; guest season 7[8]), a brash patrol officer who partners with Burgess after transferring to the 2-1 from District 31. He transferred out because of his relationship with Jenn Cassidy (Spencer Grammer), who is now a K-9 officer, to avoid breaking fraternization rules. He has his own private security company on the side. After being wounded in the line of duty, and with the department feeling he would be unable to return to patrol, he resigns and decides to join the San Diego Police Department.

Tracy Spiridakos as Detective Hailey Upton Halstead (season 5–present; recurring season 4), a tough former robbery-homicide detective and Erin Lindsay's replacement following her departure to New York. Upton gets transferred to the FBI field office in New York City in season 7 episode 18, "Lines", to temporarily fill in for an agent undercover. She has great relationships with her CIs and goes to many lengths to protect them. Despite a dark turn in Season 7, she is mostly a "by the book" detective. She is married to former Detective Jay Halstead.

Lisseth Chavez as Officer Vanessa Rojas (season 7), a rookie and Antonio Dawson's replacement following his resignation. She previously worked in an undercover operations unit.

Benjamin Levy Aguilar as Officer Dante Torres (season 10; guest season 9[9]), a recruit who had a complicated past and was recruited under Detective Halstead's wing.Recurring[edit]

Samuel Caleb Hunt as Greg "Mouse" Gerwitz (seasons 1–4), the tech and surveillance expert for the Intelligence Unit who replaces Detective Jin. He had served in the same Army unit as Halstead. After he persuades Voight to get a felony expunged, he resigns from Intelligence to reenlist in the Army.

Stella Maeve as Nadia Decotis (seasons 1–2), an 18-year-old former escort and addict whom Lindsay tries and succeeds in helping. She later becomes the Intelligence Unit's civilian administrative aide and was studying to be a police officer. She was murdered by Dr. Gregory Yates in Law & Order: SVU's 16th season, episode "Daydream Believer", the conclusion of the season's second SVU/Chicago crossover event.

The lizzie bennet diaries

Elizabeth "Lizzie" Bennet (Ashley Clements;[11] Elizabeth Bennet in the novel) is the middle Bennet sister and the narrator of most of the vlogs. She is a graduate student studying mass communications and, like her original counterpart, believes women should be highly educated and do more with their lives than simply pursue husbands. She is very close with her best friend, Charlotte Lu, who was born on the same day as she, as well as her older sister, Jane, while appearing to have a more strained relationship with her younger sister, Lydia. While it is clear that she cares for her family and friends, she can also be fairly prejudiced and quick to judge people who she perceives as condescending or a threat to her way of life, such as Darcy and, at first, Bing Lee.

Charlotte Lu (Julia Cho;[12] Charlotte Lucas in the novel) is Lizzie's best friend and often the director/editor of her vlog. Charlotte wants to be a filmmaker and convinced Lizzie to start her vlog as part of a school project. While the original character of Charlotte Lucas from the books is a minor character, Lu's role in The Lizzie Bennet Diaries has been greatly expanded; she appears in many of the beginning episodes, and, according to both Lizzie and Jane, practically lives at the Bennet house. Charlotte and Lizzie have a falling out after Charlotte accepts Ricky Collins' job offer (which Lizzie originally turned down), but the two soon reconcile.

Jane Bennet (Laura Spencer[13]) is the eldest of the Bennet children, and an overworked, underpaid merchandise coordinator in the fashion world. She is incredibly polite, sweet and, according to Lizzie, "practically perfect in every way."[14] When Bing Lee moves into town, Jane is immediately smitten with him, much to the absolute joy of her mother. Jane is devastated by Bing's sudden departure. She moves to Los Angeles for both a new job and the hope of reconnecting with Bing. She later returns to her home to support her sister Lydia through her difficulties. After this is resolved, Jane is offered a new job in New York City and reconciles with Bing.

Lydia Britney Bennet (Mary Kate Wiles[15]) is the youngest Bennet child, currently attending community college. She is "feisty, energetic, and unapologetic."[16] Lizzie, somewhat less kindly, describes her as "too old to be on any reality shows about having babies in high school."[14] She has also created a series of her own videos starring herself, her cousin Mary, and her cat, Kitty.[17] On the occasion of her 21st birthday in December 2012, she and Lizzie get into a bitter argument about Lydia's perceived immaturity, and Lydia makes plans to vacation in Las Vegas for New Year's Eve, where she meets George Wickham and begins dating. Later, after being the victim of George Wickham's money-making site, she makes up with her sisters.

Bing Lee (Christopher Sean;[18] Charles Bingley in the novel) is a young, wealthy Asian-American medical student who has moved into The Netherfield House in the same neighborhood as the Bennets. He quickly falls for Jane Bennet and begins to date her. Bing abruptly leaves Netherfield and Jane by returning to Los Angeles, breaking Jane's heart, after Darcy suggests that Jane is only engaging in a relationship with him for his money and Caroline tells him that Jane flirted with another guy at his birthday party. However, after a run-in with Lizzie during her time at Pemberley Digital, he makes a return, having quit medical school to pursue his own passions. He and Jane move to New York together in episode 92.

Caroline Lee (Jessica Jade Andres;[19] Caroline Bingley in the novel) is Bing Lee's sister. She is aware of Lizzie's vlog diaries and appears to help Lizzie keep Bing and Darcy from discovering them during Lizzie and Jane's stay at Netherfield. She has a romantic interest in William Darcy, although her feelings aren't reciprocated. She is later revealed to have attempted to manipulate events to keep Bing and Jane apart, as well as (to a lesser extent) stymie Darcy's feelings for Lizzie. Caroline reappears in the sequel, Emma Approved, as Senator James Elton's fiancé, replacing Augusta Elton, the original wife of Philip Elton, from the novel.[20]

Ricky Collins (Maxwell Glick;[21] William Collins in the novel) is a former classmate of Lizzie and Charlotte's, who asks that he be addressed only as Mr. Collins. He has formed an alliance with venture capitalist Catherine de Bourgh, to attempt a foray into the world of web video. Mr. Collins frequently visits the Bennets while in town for a few weeks and, near the end of his stay, offers Lizzie a lucrative job at his company, Collins and Collins. Lizzie turns him down, so he offers the job to Charlotte, who accepts. This decision causes a brief but bitter argument between the two best friends, but they reconcile after Charlotte invites Lizzie to visit Collins & Collins (in the fictional town of Hunsford, California), where Lizzie also learns to tolerate Mr. Collins.

William Darcy (Daniel Vincent Gordh;[22] Fitzwilliam Darcy in the novel) is Bing Lee's best friend and the wealthy heir to an entertainment corporation called Pemberley Digital. He stays with Bing and Caroline at Netherfield until they all leave for Los Angeles. He first meets Lizzie at a wedding, and she overheard him telling Bing that she was "decent enough", which is when her dislike towards him starts. He is described by Lizzie as a snobby and condescending robot, and Jane has difficulty coming up with a flattering descriptor of him, beyond "tall";[23] Charlotte, however, believes that Darcy has a crush on Lizzie.[24] For a long time, second-hand characterization is all the audience has to go by, as Darcy is referred to but never seen, making his first appearance in episodes 59[25] (only from the neck down) and 60,[26] where he confirms Charlotte's suspicions by confessing his love for Lizzie.

George Wickham (Wes Aderhold[27]) is the coach of a university swim team who forms a short-lived romantic attachment with Lizzie. He claims that though he and Darcy were childhood friends, Darcy ruined his life by withholding money Darcy's father had promised, thereby ending George's hopes of a college education.[28] He leaves town for work, eventually re-entering the story after New Year's Day, where he meets and becomes romantically involved with Lydia, as chronicled in her spin-off videos. At the same time, Lizzie learns that George gambled away all the money the elder Darcy left for him, and then took advantage of Gigi Darcy, William's sister, for more. Finally, he attempts to exploit "YouTube Star Lydia Bennet" by releasing a sex tape of the two of them online.[29]

Fitz Williams (Craig Frank;[30] Col. Fitzwilliam in the novel) is Darcy's friend and colleague. Lizzie meets him while dining with Catherine de Bourgh, Darcy's aunt and Charlotte's boss. He has a boyfriend, Brandon, whose name was officially confirmed on Fitz's Twitter, and is particularly good at making care-packages.

Georgiana "Gigi" Darcy (Allison Paige;[31] Georgiana Darcy in the novel) is William Darcy's younger sister and a graphic designer at Pemberley Digital. Her first appearance in The Lizzie Bennet Diaries was Episode 77. She is aware of the video diaries, and claims to like them. She and George Wickham were romantically involved, but this ended when William proved that George was taking advantage of her for the money. Twitter posts between Gigi and Fitz suggest that she actively tries to push Lizzie and Darcy together. She is also instrumental in helping to end George's money-making plot: though the website itself did not list his name and George had stopped returning calls, he answers Gigi when she calls him, allowing Fitz and Darcy to track him down. Thereafter Darcy bought out the company which owned the rights to the sex tape, preventing it from ever being released.

Mrs. Bennet is Lizzie's mother. She appears to be a traditional Southern woman, eager to see her daughters married and interested in little else besides neighborhood gossip. She is almost always impersonated by Lizzie.

Mr. Bennet is Lizzie's father. He appears more calm and levelheaded than his wife, though one of his favorite activities, according to Lizzie, is winding her up.[32] He has a special fondness for bonsai trees and prepares a train extravaganza every Christmas. He is often impersonated by Charlotte and Lydia.

Catherine de Bourgh (Lady Catherine de Bourgh in the novel) is Darcy's aunt and an extremely wealthy venture capitalist who is the primary investor in Collins & Collins, the new media firm run by Mr. Collins, where Charlotte accepts a job offer after Lizzie rejected it. Catherine is very attached to her sickly dog who she calls Annie Kins. She is quick with her opinions and judgements. Charlotte said that Catherine is "on Team Caroline," meaning that she wants her nephew to be with Caroline. She is impersonated by Lizzie, and Ashley Clements says her impression is a combination of Julia Child, Miranda Priestly and Dolores Umbridge.[33]

Mary Bennet (Briana Cuoco[34]) is Lydia, Jane, and Lizzie's cousin who has appeared sporadically in Lydia's vlogs and once in Lizzie's. She becomes better friends and occasional tutor with Lydia while Lydia is staying at her house despite their opposing personalities. She is often the "forgotten" character and her Twitter reads, "I am Mary, never forgotten." Mary also has a boyfriend by the name of Eddie (a subtle nod to the character of Edmund Bertram from Austen's Mansfield Park.)[35] In the novel, she is actually one of the five Bennet sisters, being the middle sister between Elizabeth and Kitty.

Kitty Bennet (Rosie of House Wiles) is Lydia's cat who appears in Lydia's vlogs. In the novel, she is actually one of the five Bennet sisters, being the second youngest after Lydia.

Liquid Intelligent Technologies signs Memorandum of Understanding with Zambia to accelerate the country's digital transformation

Liquid Intelligent Technologies signs Memorandum of Understanding with Zambia to accelerate the country's digital transformation The agreement builds on Liquid's already extensive investments made since it opened its doors in Zambia in 2011 LUSAKA, Zambia, April 5, 2023/ -- Liquid Intelligent Technologies (https://www.Liquid.Tech), a business of Cassava Technologies, a leading pan-African technology group, signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Government of Zambia to accelerate the country's digital transformation and provide reliable and affordable connectivity to all Zambians.

The agreement builds on Liquid's already extensive investments made since it opened its doors in Zambia in 2011. In the MOU, Liquid Zambia has committed to launching a new data centre that can respond to increasing data-hosting needs from local businesses and hyperscalers establishing their presence in Zambia. Planned expansion of Liquid's fibre network will see the connection of more towns across the country, and the physical infrastructure needed to connect schools and clinics along Liquid's network will also be deployed. The group will also be working with the government to offer public and private cloud, and cyber security solutions to support the digitisation of government services. These activities and investments, coupled with further expansion of the network across Zambia's borders will position Zambia as a strong hub of digital activity in the region. According to the Zambia Inclusive Digital Economy Status Report 2022 (https://apo-opa.info/3KbqfQe), only 53% of Zambians are digitally-included. The lack of connectivity and the impact it has on the country's socio-economic development is the main reason why the Zambian government has prioritised the country's digital transformation. "We recognize the significant efforts that the Zambian government is making to accelerate the country's digital transformation and share His Excellency, President Hichilema's vision for the development of Zambia's digital economy. Given the conducive investment environment, we are committed to further investments in Zambia's digital infrastructure" said Hardy Pemhiwa, President and Group CEO, Cassava Technologies. "The Liquid Zambia team is excited to be continuing our partnership with the Zambian government. Zambia is our home, and we are committed to seeing the country thrive. Being able to contribute meaningfully to its socio-economic growth and infrastructural development by sharing our knowledge and skills, and through the provision of the infrastructure and services needed by Zambian in this growth phase is important to us," said Mark Townsend, Chief Executive Officer of Liquid Intelligent Technologies, Zambia. The MOU was signed by Hon. Felix Mutati, Zambia's Minister of Technology and Science, and Nic Rudnick, Group Deputy Chairman of Liquid Intelligent Technologies, on Tuesday, the 7th of March, during the Fifth United Nations Conference on the Least Developed Countries (LDC5), which took place in Doha, Qatar, from the 5th to the 9th of March. With the signing of this MOU, Liquid Zambia reaffirms its commitment to Zambia's digital transformation and economic growth, which is part of its broader mission to connect Africa and bridge the digital divide across the continent, leaving no African left behind.
