Estou caso há 8 anos e vou divorciar - me. A questão que vos coloco, é que gostava de ficar com a casa mas não sei o que tenho que ter em conta para fazer as "contas" se conseguirei... A casa custou 135 mil euros e o valor ainda em dívida é cerca de 100 mil. Sei que atualmente vale bem mais, e também sei que atualmente não conseguiria comprar uma igual... Podem elucidar - me quanto ao processo?

Grato

I'm experimenting with raidcale. I'm trying to find some client apps for Linux and Android.

So far, I have:

Desktop

• Calendars: GNOME Calendar
• Contacts: GNOME Contacts
• Tasks: Errands
• Journals: Unknown

Android:

• Calendars: Probably just default Calendar app
• Contacts: Not sure yet
• Tasks: Tasks.org or jtx board
• Journals: jtx board

Apps working with VTODO seem to be common enough, but does anyone know desktop apps that work with VJOURNAL?

From Owl Rescue Centre

We have eight different species of African owls living on the sanctuary. The Southern white-faced owls are our 3rd most common species.

Most common are in order: Barn owls, Spotted Eagle owls, White-faced owls, Marsh owls, Pearl Spotted owls, African scops owls, Verreaux's eagle-owls and lastly African Grass owls.

We also have one solitary African wood owl which theoretically makes him the 9th species. He was accidentally released a couple of years ago when we had that huge fire, but If we're ever able to catch him, we'll relocate him back to his indigenous area. 😉

Myanmar's shadow government said an airstrike by the ruling junta had killed at least 17 students and injured 20 others at a school in an opposition-controlled area on Monday, despite a ceasefire being in place after a devastating earthquake.

I have been upset recently by a colleague googling me and found my full name on several 3D Printing sites I used to use. I guess I signed in with my google account and so it just pops up now that I've deleted all my socials.

I have a fairly uncommon first + last combo so the cursory google search and then sending "delete my data" emails from the email they know from the 3 data brokers who popped up seems good and now just my linkedin is showing (this is the ideal state).

Is there more I'm missing? should I go for a deleteme subscription in case I missed anything? Other sources I should go to?

I really don't mind sending my own emails to these pests, but is that really all the services are doing? Or is there a backend I'm missing?

Es war schon ziemlich unangenehm, mit meinem Wanderrucksack (wo mein erworbener Blahaj drin war) als einzige aufenscheinlicch männliche Person mit einem Haufen anderer Frauen vor der Umkleidekabine zu warten. Notiz an mich selber: Nie wieder Freitag nachmittags Klamotten kaufen gehen.

A document seen by the BBC's US partner CBS describes the potential resettlement as a "priority" for President Donald Trump's government, however the timing has not been publicly confirmed by the White House.

In a statement published on Friday, South Africa's foreign ministry described the purported move as "politically motivated" and designed to undermine South Africa's "constitutional democracy".

In February, Trump described Afrikaners as victims of "racial discrimination" in an executive order, opening up the prospect for them to resettle in the US.

🫠 if the usa wasnt a settler colony I could almost get excited about this, at least send them to the netherlands or something.

there's mention in the article that the RSA govt is objecting because it suspects some of these people are running from criminal charges, classic

Pope Leo XIV called for a ceasefire in Gaza, the return of all hostages and peace in Ukraine during his first Sunday noon blessing as the bishop of Rome.

The big picture: Leo's calls echo those of his predecessor, the late Pope Francis, who was an outspoken advocate for the besieged Palestinian population and denounced Russia's war in Ukraine.

White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller said Friday that President Trump and his team are “actively looking at” suspending habeas corpus as part of the administration’s immigration crackdown.

“Well, the Constitution is clear — and that of course is the supreme law of the land — that the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus can be suspended in a time of invasion,” Miller told reporters at the White House.

“So, it’s an option we’re actively looking at. Look, a lot of it depends on whether the courts do the right thing or not.”

A writ of habeas corpus compels authorities to produce an individual they are holding and to justify their confinement.

It’s been a key avenue migrants have used to challenge pending deportations under the Alien Enemies Act, a rarely-used 18th-century power Trump cited to deport Venezuelan nationals he’s accused of being gang members to a notorious megaprison in El Salvador.

It’s also been how recently detained students such as Rümeysa Öztürk and Mahmoud Khalil have challenged their detention.

The Constitution says habeas corpus may not be suspended “unless when in Cases of Rebellion or Invasion the public Safety may require it.”

The writ of habeas corpus has been suspended only four times, according to the National Constitution Center: During the Civil War, in parts of South Carolina overrun by the Ku Klux Klan during reconstruction, in two provinces in the Philippines in 1905, and in Hawaii after the bombing at Pearl Harbor.

Suspending habeas corpus, as a result, would be highly controversial. But the administration has already taken controversial steps as part of its deportation regime, such as triggering the 1789 Alien Enemies Act.

The Supreme Court directed migrants to challenge their Alien Enemies Act deportations through habeas corpus, and since then, judges in at least three cases have sided with migrants, determining the Trump administration was improperly using a law meant to address warfare and incursions.

It’s possible judges might have a similar interpretation of efforts to suspend habeas corpus, as challengers would also likely dispute whether the U.S. is currently experiencing rebellion or invasion.

Miller asserted that the Immigration and Nationality Act, passed in 1965, takes away the judicial branch’s jurisdiction over immigration cases and gives the president wide authority to end temporary protective status and other policies.

“The courts aren’t just at war with the executive branch, the courts are at war — these radical, rogue judges — with the legislative branch as well. So all of that will inform the choices the president ultimately makes.”

However, judges routinely weigh the legality of immigration policies, which are often brought by plaintiffs directly affected.

The Trump administration has for months clashed with federal judges as it seeks to aggressively implement its immigration agenda by deporting people, suspending refugee admissions and taking other steps to curb the flow of migrants into the U.S.

Administration officials on March 15 rebuffed an oral order from U.S. District Judge James Boasberg to turn around or halt flights of Venezuelan migrants headed to the Salvadoran prison — teeing up the legal battle that brought the Supreme Court’s ruling on how such cases must proceed.

A federal judge in Massachusetts on Wednesday blocked the Trump administration from deporting a group of migrants overseas, possibly to Libya and Saudi Arabia.

Another federal judge granted bail to Tufts University’s Öztürk on Friday, freeing her from federal immigration custody more than six weeks after the Trump administration revoked her visa and arrested her.

One Democratic aide mocked Miller for suggesting the lifting of a bedrock constitutional principal.

“Stephen Miller is not a lawyer but he plays a s‑‑‑ty one on TV. No one in their right mind would take his advice seriously, but sanity is in short supply in this administration,” the aide said.

Miller’s comments come amid a broader discussion over the due process protections afforded to migrants under the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution.

Like the suspension of habeas corpus, the Alien Enemies Act has also been used just a handful of times, activated three times prior and all during times of war. It was most recently used as the basis for Japanese internment.

Democrats and immigration advocates argue habeas petitions are the only way for migrants to gain any due process as they might otherwise be deported to a foreign facility where the Trump administration has argued in court they have no legal right or power to secure their return.

Many of the men deported or fearing such removal have denied having any gang ties and Democrats have argued they deserve a day in court to challenge such assertions.

“If Donald Trump can sweep noncitizens off the street and fly them to a torturer’s prison in El Salvador with no due process, he can do it to citizens too,” Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.), the top Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, said last week. “Because if there is no due process, no fair hearing, you have no opportunity to object.”

Istanbul (AFP) – The Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) on Monday announced its dissolution, saying it was ending its armed struggle against the Turkish state and drawing a line under its deadly four-decade insurgency.

Founded in the late 1970s by Abdullah Ocalan, the PKK took up arms in 1984, beginning a string of attacks against the Turkish state that would cost more than 40,000 lives.

"The 12th PKK Congress has decided to dissolve the PKK's organisational structure and end its method of armed struggle," the group said in a statement published by the pro-Kurdish ANF news agency.

The move was welcomed by President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's AKP party as an "important step", but it warned the process would be "meticulously monitored" by the government.

The historic announcement came after an appeal by Ocalan, who on February 27 urged his fighters disarm and disband in a letter from Istanbul's Imrali prison island, where he has been held since 1999.

He also asked the PKK to hold a congress to formalise the decision, which it did last week in Iraq's Kandil mountains, when it declared a ceasefire.

There its leader took "decisions of historic importance concerning the PKK's activities", ANF had reported on Friday.

"This is not the end, it is a new beginning," PKK executive committee member Duran Kalkan told delegates in remarks quoted by the pro-Kurdish Mezopotamya news agency.

AKP spokesman Omer Celik said if the decision were "implemented in practise and realised in all its dimensions" it would open the door to a new era.

"The PKK's decision to dissolve itself and lay down its arms following the call from Imrali is an important step towards a terror-free Turkey," Celik said.

"The full and concrete implementation of the decision to dissolve and surrender arms... will be a turning point," he added, saying the process would be "meticulously monitored" by the government.

The declaration was the culmination of seven months of work to renew long-stalled talks that began in October when Ankara offered Ocalan an unexpected olive branch.

"If the PKK announces it is disbanding and finalises the process without any road accidents, that will be a huge win for Erdogan," Gonul Tol of the Washington-based Middle East Institute told AFP.

She said seeking a rapprochement with the Kurds was very much related to domestic politics, coming just months after Erdogan's AKP suffered a blow at the ballot box.

Analysts say a deal with the Kurds could allow Erdogan to amend the constitution and extend his term in office, while simultaneously driving a wedge between pro-Kurdish parties and the rest of Turkey's opposition.

"The main driver behind this Ocalan opening has always been about consolidating Erdogan's rule. Because if this whole process succeeds, he will go into the 2028 elections as a stronger candidate who is facing a divided opposition," Tol said.

In a weekend speech, Erdogan hinted the dissolution could be announced at any moment, saying that "We are advancing with firm steps on the path toward the goal of a terror-free Turkey".

The PKK, designated a terrorist group by Ankara, Washington and Brussels, has waged an insurgency against the Turkish state since 1984.

Its original aim was to carve out a homeland for Kurds, who make up about 20 percent of Turkey's 85 million people.
