How people are so anti-sinn Fein they criticise them over something that would actually benefit them and their local community, just to get a dig in

Sure it's the time of the year. Have seen tractors and mopeds a few times on it. Madness.

ALL of Argentina and parts of Uruguay are without power following a power cut! How does a whole country lose power in one hit?!

Likely a cascading fault resulting from a local problem that wasn't isolated.
The power outage in NE USA and Ontario in 2003 probably affected as many people

Romance fraud: Woman sent conman £40k despite suspicions

A judge in Minneapolis has sentenced lawyer Paul Hansmeier to 14 years' imprisonment for a scheme which saw him upload pornographic material to file-sharing networks before threatening to sue people who downloaded them, Ars Technica reports.
"It is almost incalculable how much your abuse of trust has harmed the administration of justice," said Judge Joan Ericksen at a sentencing hearing on Friday.
In 2012, Mr Hansmeier and his business partner John Steele came to the attention of the media after their law firm, Prenda Law, devised a novel way of gaining more business: it uploaded the pornographic videos itself – including ones produced by employees.
Prosecutors say the men made more than $6 million between 2010 and 2013 by demanding sums small enough that parties were more likely to settle out of court.
A number of cases around the country revealed Prenda's fraud and the pair were referred to federal prosecutors.
In 2016 they were arrested and charged with federal fraud as well as money laundering and perjury.
The Minneapolis Star Tribune said of the prosecution's case: "When challenged by judges around the country, Hansmeier blamed other lawyers who were hired to file lawsuits on his behalf, lied to the courts about his own involvement, and ordered the destruction of evidence."
Mr Steele pleaded guilty in 2017 and will be sentenced next month. Mr Hansmeier, however, fought the charges before accepting a plea deal in August last year that allows him to reserve the right to appeal an earlier ruling.
He was ordered to repay victims $1.5m in restitution.
