We place too little emphasis on individual failures and instead extrapolate perceived organisational issues, says a reader As a serving police officer, I found it dispiriting, if entirely predictable, to read the way in which the awful murder of Henry Nowak was hijacked as evidence of “two-tier policing” and anti-white racism ( What to do as murder is exploited to spread lies about race and privilege? Stand firm – fight back, 8 June ). On watching the body-worn video, I saw the terrible consequences of a lack of professionalism and compassion meeting difficult and confusing circumstances, rather than the legacy of diversity training or wokeness.

sasha85ru The FIFA World Cup trophy has been crowned the most expensive trophy in professional sports, with a theoretical metal value of $882K, according to a Thursday media report that cited a new analysis by precious metals platform BullionVault. The platform analyzed the weight and composition of metals across major sports trophies and found the World Cup's gold ( GLD ) and sterling silver ( SLV ) construction narrowly edges out horse racing's legendary Kentucky Derby Trophy, valued at $856K, Newspage reported. Perhaps more striking than the current valuation is the trophy's appreciation over time. The same trophy's raw metal would have been valued at just $3.33K in 1966—representing a 264-fold increase in value over six decades. "The staggering jump in the FIFA World Cup Trophy's material worth, from under £2,500 in 1966 to well over half a million pounds today, perfectly illustrates gold's enduring value as a potential hedge against inflation and currency devaluation," said Dan Jay, director at BullionVault, Newspage reported. The analysis comes as gold ( GLD ) prices remain elevated despite pulling back from recent highs. After briefly spiking to over $5,360 per ounce in March, gold has since settled around $4,100—still significantly higher than the $3,300 price a year ago and a far cry from just $35 in 1966. The opening match of the World Cup takes place Thursday, with Mexico hosting South Africa at Estadio Azteca in Mexico City.

simoncarter The Securities and Exchange Commission proposed on Thursday to rescind two rules that banned “trading through” the national best bid or offer. Critics said the "trade-through" ban impeded the long-term growth of financial markets. " This proposal is intended to simplify market structure and reduce costs for market participants while allowing competition, innovation, and other market forces to shape the continuing evolution of our equity markets," SEC Chairman Paul S. Atkins said in a statement. The proposed amendments would: Rescind rule 611 of Regulation NMS, which contains the trade-through prohibition for national market system stocks. Rescind rule 610(e) of Regulation NMS, which contains restrictions on locking and crossing quotations in national market system stocks. Rescind related defined terms in rule 600 of Regulation NMS. Make conforming changes to other related provisions. The public comment period will remain open for 60 days after the proposal is published in the Federal Register. Last week, it was reported that the SEC was expected to propose the rescission of the rules. More on the SEC Sen.

Emails Show Senior DOJ Officials Questioned Biden-Era Memo To Probe School Board Threats Authored by Matthew Vadum via The Epoch Times, Internal emails from the Biden-era Department of Justice (DOJ) show that senior officials objected to then-Attorney General Merrick Garland’s plan to use the FBI to investigate parents opposed to school policies. Critics at the time said the policy change, which was contained in a memo signed by Garland, was calculated to intimidate parents protesting policies such as mask mandates and curriculum . Many of those who protested the memo were themselves heavily criticized by memo supporters. The DOJ’s internal communications suggest that top officials in the DOJ opposed the policy days before it was publicly unveiled. A DOJ source who did not wish to be identified confirmed to The Epoch Times late on June 10 that the emails, posted on X by independent journalist Lara Logan, were authentic. The controversy itself goes back almost five years. Garland released a memo on Oct. 4, 2021, that called for federal law enforcement to deal with harassment and threats of violence allegedly made against school board members, teachers, and school employees. “Threats against public servants are not only illegal, they run counter to our nation’s core values,” he said at the time. “The Department takes these incidents seriously and is committed to using its authority and resources to discourage these threats, identify them when they occur, and prosecute them when appropriate,” he wrote in the memo. In an email thread dated two days before that, senior DOJ officials discussed the upcoming shift in enforcement focus. Minutes after Associate Deputy Attorney General Kevin Chambers advised his colleagues of the policy change, they began to push back. Acting Assistant Attorney General for the Criminal Division Nicholas McQuaid wrote, “I strongly object to adding school official threats to the USAO meetings,” referring to meetings of the U.S. Attorney’s Office...
