UK Touts Iraq’s Potential as Regional Stabiliser at UN

Thank you, Madam President, I would like to welcome the representatives of Iraq and Kuwait to the chamber.

Let me start by thanking the Special Representative for her briefing, and for the important work of the UN Assistance Mission in Iraq. I would like to highlight three points of particular importance for the UK.

First, we commend the progress being made by Iraq across the breadth of political and economic issues set out by the Special Representative. UNAMI’s contribution to that progress is deeply valued by the United Kingdom. We look forward to discussing the outcome of the Strategic Review being led by Volker Perthes and the future shape and function of UNAMI, in discussion with relevant parties, including of course the sovereign state of Iraq.

Second, Iraq has the potential to play a strong stabilising role in the region. To do so, it is critical that its territory not be used by Iranian proxies to destabilise the region. We offer our condolences to the families of those killed in Iran’s 15 January strike on Erbil. We urge Iran to deescalate tensions in the region. We reiterate our commitment to the Global Coalition against Daesh, which operates within Iraq at the invitation of the Iraqi government, as well as our commitment to a secure and sovereign Iraq.

Third, we congratulate Iraq on holding its first provincial elections for a decade. We look forward to the holding of elections in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq without further delay and encourage all relevant actors to take steps to ensure necessary preparations are made to ensure they are free, fair and timely. We hope a sustainable outcome on the transfer of budget allocations from Baghdad to Erbil can be agreed and we encourage relevant political parties to play a constructive role to support that.

Finally, Madam President, we…

South Korea: Mohegan to open first foreigners-only casino in almost two decades on Satuday

Mohegan Inspire Resort announced that the first South Korean foreigners-only casino in almost two decades is set to open on Saturday in Yeongjongdo, Incheon. 

The property got its license from the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism on January 23 to open a new foreigners-only casino in South Korea for the first time in 19 years, as reported by The Korean Herald.

Mohegan Inspire Resort’s casino is considered the country’s biggest gambling property with more than 150 types of table games, 390 slot machines, and 160 electronic table games (ETG) to entertain overseas tourists. The two-story casino also has a special floor for VIP guests, featuring a Guandong-style fine dining restaurant.

After the resort held its soft opening on November 30, 2023, it hosted several K-pop idol concerts as well as the Melon Music Awards (MMA), one of the nation’s biggest music awards shows, in December.

The resort is the eighth property of its parent company, Mohegan. Spanning a land area of 461,661 square meters, the facility required an investment of approximately KRW 2 trillion ($1.53 billion).

The entertainment resort is scheduled to make its grand opening in the first quarter and plans to open all available facilities within the second half of this year, according to Mohegan Inspire Resort officials.

Earlier in the month, the resort announced its achievement of a five-star hotel rating from the Korean Hotel Rating System, administered by the Korea Tourism Association (KTA). This recognition, the highest in the Korean system, underscores the resort’s commitment to excellence in luxury hospitality, according to the announcement.

Beavers fall to Bison in D-10 team dual semifinals

Coaches react - 2 pts.tif

Corry’s coaches react to Cooper Hodak getting a two-point takedown. Standing is Brad Allen. From left are Mark Munsee, Austin Gillihan, Travis Proper and Lucas Munsee.

SHARON — In high school wrestling, you can’t take anything for granted.

Corry had high expectations at Saturday’s District 10 Class 2A Team Duals on Feb. 3. But after disposing of Grove City 45-21 in the quarterfinals, the Beavers fell to Fort LeBoeuf 33-24 in the semifinals.

Ironically, LeBoeuf’s head coach is former Corry state finalist Shane McChesney, and one of his assistants is Corry state champion (1984) Ed Burkhart.

In the semis, Corry built an 18-12 lead through seven matches. However, the Bison then won five straight, including two crucial swing matches to virtually wrap up the match with a forfeit in the next-to-last bout.

To kick things off, FL’s heavyweight John Duran pinned Owen Nickerson before Wyatt Swan was a 9-4 winner at 107 pounds.

2-6 logan hodak.tif

Logan Hodak turns his Grove City foe before a first-period fall.

Beaver freshman Carson Braswell pulled off a stunner, decking Brady Bowers 33 seconds into overtime after going 4-4 in regulation.

Logan Hodak (121) then won 3-1, giving Corry a 12-6 lead. Bison Jake Bennett then pitched a 4-0 shutout over Steven Willis, getting three third-period points via a nearfall. Isaiah Bayle then lost 10-6 to Brody Myers, and the contest was tied at 12.

At 139 pounds, Will Allen was up 6-1 when the LeBoeuf wrestler suffered a shoulder injury and defaulted, giving Corry six points and an 18-12 lead.

Jackson Bowers then used a late takedown to subdue Beaver Cody Proper 4-3. At 152, Bison ace Joe Przybycien’s first-period pin gave LeBeouf a 21-18 lead.

At the pivotal 160 bout, FL’s Aidan…

The last of the Ugandan Mohicans

This Uganda has great traditions that have refused to be spoilt by its 60 years of corrupt and violent politics.  It is anchored by, a sadly, dwindling cohort of grand gentlemen and ladies, some of them wonderfully eccentric.

I wrote here a while back, the story of one of them, who had a good line of Bullmastiff dogs. My veterinary doctor, the late Prof Johnson Acon (bless his soul) at Makerere University, used to help me collect the finest dogs. He tipped me of this gentleman, and that he asked him to sell me a puppy. The good gentleman insisted that he had to interview me first, to ensure I had the ubuntu to raise his dog right.

I made my way to his home. We sat on the balcony and his wife served tea and scones, as they do in historical dramas like “The Crown”.

Very ornate teapot, cups, and spoons. He kept a watchful eye to see if I knew my etiquette, as we talked dogs, books, and international affairs. He also asked about my parents, and if they were good Christians.

I passed the test. He was pleased. He gave me a puppy. He declined to take money for it. Whenever he came to Nairobi, he called and he would have a fine dinner.

 Another one, a proud grand man from a far corner of western Uganda who was a good friend, called me one day to meet over a solemn issue. When I presented myself before him, he told me he was revising his will and adding details on how he wanted his funeral conducted. He wanted me to read a poem…

Tesla recalling nearly 2.2M vehicles for software update to fix warning lights that are too small

DETROIT (AP) — Tesla is recalling nearly all of the vehicles it has sold in the U.S. because some warning lights on the instrument panel are too small.

The recall of nearly 2.2 million vehicles announced Friday by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is a sign of stepped-up scrutiny of the electric vehicle maker. The agency also said it has upgraded a 2023 investigation into Tesla steering problems to an engineering analysis, a step closer to a recall.

Documents posted Friday by the agency say the warning light recall will be done with an online software update. It covers the 2012 through 2023 Model S, the 2016 through 2023 Model X, the 2017 through 2023 Model 3, the 2019 through 2024 Model Y and the 2024 Cybertruck.

The agency says that the brake, park and antilock brake warning lights have a smaller font size than required by federal safety standards. That can make critical safety information hard to read, increasing the risk of a crash.

Tesla has already started releasing the software update, and owners will be notified by letter starting March 30.

NHTSA says it found the problem in a routine safety compliance audit on Jan. 8.

Tesla has identified three warranty claims potentially related to the problem, but has no reports of crashes or injuries.

Shares of Tesla Inc., which have been in a downward trend since July and slumped after the company’s fourth quarter earnings report last week, fell another 2.7% in early trading Friday to levels not seen since May of last year.

In December, NHTSA pressured Tesla into recalling more than 2 million vehicles to update software and fix a defective system that’s supposed…

Stockbridge-Munsee Band of Mohican Indians pushes back against unofficial events

STOCKBRIDGE — The Tribal Council of the Stockbridge-Munsee Band of Mohican Indians is sounding an alarm about unaffiliated groups — including one based in the Berkshires — that may be seeking to exploit the Wisconsin-based tribe for financial gain.

Sherry White, liaison to the Tribal Council, cited two groups — the Alliance for a Viable Future, sponsor of annual Indigenous Peoples Day Weekend events in Great Barrington, and another that has organized an upcoming powwow in Ohio.

Stockbridge seeks closer ties with Mohican tribe through joint commission

“Those have nothing to do with the Mohican tribe, and the tribe has not authorized this,” White said in a phone interview Monday from her home in Keshena, Wis. “Groups are using the Mohican name, probably either to help raise money or to draw attention to their events. The Tribal Council is getting very concerned that people think they’re donating to the tribe or working with it, and they’re not.”

The local group has agreed to clarify that its events, attended by tribal members on their own, do not represent the tribal government.

The federally recognized tribe of about 1,500 Munsee and Mohican Indians, based on a reservation in Shawano County, Wis., includes descendants of the original settlers of Stockbridge and other ancestral homelands in Berkshire County and adjacent New York state, Vermont, Connecticut, Pennsylvania and New Jersey.

The Stockbridge-Munsee Band of Mohicans is reclaiming 351 acres of sacred homeland in Stockbridge

In a letter to The Eagle, White pointed to a three-day event in September in Loudonville, Ohio, dubbed the 38th annual “Great Mohican Pow-Wow” on a “Mohican Reservation.” The website, mohicanpowwow.com, charged admission for individuals and groups and also listed sponsors and offers applications for vendors. It includes a disclaimer that it…
