Facebook Is Blocking Foreign Ads Relating to Ireland’s Abortion Referendum

Under heightened scrutiny for its role in influencing recent political campaigns, Facebook announced it is banning foreign ads relating to Ireland’s upcoming referendum on abortion.

The decision follows intense international criticism over attempts to use the social media company’s platform to sway voters in elections, including the 2016 U.S. presidential election and Britain’s Brexit referendum, Reuters reports.

“As part of our efforts to help protect the integrity of elections and referendums from undue influence, we will begin rejecting ads related to the referendum if they are being run by advertisers based outside of Ireland,” said Facebook in a statement on its website.

On May 25, Irish voters will take part in a referendum on whether to liberalize Ireland’s divisive abortion laws, which are some of the strictest rules in the world. The procedure is illegal in the Catholic-majority Republic of Ireland, with terminations not allowed in cases of rape or incest, according to the BBC.

U.S.-based pro-life groups are among those who have bought online ads in the country ahead of the vote, ABC reports. Last month, the Irish data protection commissioner said it was possible foreign actors could try to sway the referendum.

Facebook said it is still developing automated election integrity tools, so the company would rely on campaign groups to identify the foreign ads.

A new “view ads” tool, which is still in trial mode after launching on April 25, allows users to see all of the ads an advertiser is running on the site in Ireland.

Juventus transfer news: Rabiot eyed as Plan B if pursuit of Arsenal ace fails

Click:Hyperbaric Chamber 1.5 ATA

Juventus are reportedly prioritising a deal for Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey next summer, but have one eye on Adrien Rabiot as an alternative.

Both players will be available on free transfers as it currently stands, as both their respective contracts will expire at the end of the season.

Despite the fact that coach Massimiliano Allegri boasts the likes of Blaise Matuidi, Emre Can, Sami Khedira, Miralem Pjanic and Rodrigo Bentancur, it appears as though the midfield is still an area in which the reigning Italian champions wish to strengthen.

As reported by The Sun, Rabiot is being lined up as an alternative option to Ramsey, with the Welshman said to be their priority for now with a big-money offer on the table.

It’s a sensible move in many ways, particularly given that both players are available for nothing next summer, with the likes of Matuidi and Khedira in particular needing to be replaced eventually given both are on the wrong side of 30.

Having splashed out big money on signing Cristiano Ronaldo this past summer, the Bianconeri once again showed their savviness in the transfer market by snapping up Can on a free, and so it looks as though they could be trying to repeat the trick next year.

Time will tell if they are successful or not, but with both Ramsey and Rabiot boasting technical quality, creative ability and an eye for goal, either would be a great addition to a squad currently pursuing an eighth consecutive Scudetto and long-awaited success in the Champions League.

As noted by the Express, a new contract is unlikely for Ramsey at the Emirates, while the Daily Mail report that Rabiot has already rejected three different offers of a renewal from PSG.

SOUTHPORT, England — Jordan Spieth faced more blustery conditions at Royal Birkdale as he set out to try to win the third leg of the career Grand Slam at The Open Championship.

Spieth had a three-shot lead over Matt Kuchar, who is playing in the final group of a major for the first time.

Xander Schauffele put together a 65 on Sunday morning, the best round of the early starters. The wind was expected to increase, though nothing like the second round.

Kuchar was the only player within five shots of Spieth.

A record crowd has taken it all in. The R&A says this is the highest attendance for an Open in England, topping the 230,000 mark set at Royal Liverpool when Tiger Woods won in 2006.

Georgia, New Jersey take early lead at PGA Jr. League Championship

Click:スーパー コピー 優良 サイト 口コミ

SCOTTSDALE, Arizona – As the 6th PGA Jr. League Championship presented by National Car Rental returned to picturesque Grayhawk Golf Club, Team New Jersey (Hillsborough) and Team Georgia (Duluth) took early leads in their respective divisions, with Texas and New Hampshire knocking on the door.

Eight Regional Champion teams combined of boys and girls from across the country are vying for the national title. The 80 boys and girls represent All-Star Teams from a record 42,000 kids who played in PGA Jr. League during 2017.

At 2-0, New Jersey, which features two girls and eight boys, sits atop the Ryder Division standings, after defeating Team Illinois (Chicago) 8-4 in the morning session; and Team Arkansas (Little Rock) 10-2 in the afternoon match.

The power pairing of 12-year-old Katie Li, who is appearing in her second PGA Jr. League Championship with Team New Jersey, and 11-year-old Megan Meng, a 2016 U.S. Kids Golf World Champion, went birdie-birdie-birdie on the final three holes to propel New Jersey to its desert hot start.

New Jersey leads Team Texas (Houston), who went 1-0-1 on the day. After tying Team Arkansas (Little Rock) 6-6 in the morning, Texas beat Illinois (Chicago) 7-5. Texas is in a must-win situation against New Jersey on Saturday to advance to Sunday’s Championship final pairing. New Jersey needs to either win or tie to clinch a chance to play for the title.

“I’m very proud of this team,” said Team New Jersey Captain Anthony Latham, PGA. “They’re scrappers. They prepared and worked hard, but we pride ourselves on being ready for anything. The third match was pivotal, because they’d lost the first two flags. Megan and Katie’s three consecutive birdies on Hole Nos. 16, 17 and 18 got us to seven , which secured the win."

“We started rough, but I think as we went on, we gained more confidence,” Li added. “Once we got a birdie, it encouraged us to keep making putts.”

In the Wanamaker Division, Team Georgia flexed its muscle early on and never looked back en route to a 10.5-1.5 win over Team Ohio (Columbia Station) to take first place by 2.5 points over Team New Hampshire after the opening stanza. The Wanamaker Division had a bye in the morning round.

Veteran Ethan Gao, 12, of Alpharetta, Georgia, who was the youngest player in the Championship last year, made an impressive return to Grayhawk, as he drilled a 25-foot eagle putt on the final hole to accentuate his team’s opening day win. Gao believes last year’s experience has given him an edge this year in a number of ways.

“Coming back, it settles my nerves a little bit more, and I can putt freely,” said Gao. “The competitors on my team have become my friends now, and everyone’s turned into my friends now, and I feel that it’s great that PGA Jr. League organized this.”

“Every single one of our kids played incredibly today,” said PGA Professional and Team Georgia Captain Patrick McCrary. “We didn’t have a weak link…the camaraderie on this team has been great to watch.”

Team New Hampshire (Atkinson) pulled off quite the win against Team California (San Jose) on the back nine of the Raptor Course. New Hampshire’s third and fourth twosomes each eagled Hole No. 18, their third hole of the day, and they rode this momentum to a victory over a tough California team.

“It jump started us a little bit,” said Team New Hampshire Captain Peter Doherty, PGA. “Between families, word starting getting back to the kids in the other groups. From there on, it never seemed to stop…Today’s win boosts the confidence more than anything. I hope it gets them off to a better start tomorrow, and they can just let it ride all afternoon.”

What’s a kid to do after such a great first day?

“They’re going back to the hotel to play football in the pool,” Team Georgia Assistant Coach Greg Powers answered.

Manchester United make £54M transfer offer for classy winger, signing would ‘pave the way’ for Alexis Sanchez departure

Click:Software development Company

Manchester United have reportedly made a £54M transfer offer for Brazilian Juventus star Douglas Costa, a move that looks like it could spell the end for Alexis Sanchez’ time at Old Trafford.

According to the Sun, who are re-reporting a story from Rai Sport, the Red Devils have submitted a £54M offer for the former Bayern Munich winger as they look to improve their options in January.

The Sun also note that Costa’s arrival at Old Trafford would ‘pave the way’ Alexis Sanchez to seal his departure from the club and put an end to his horror spell with the Red Devils.

Sanchez has struggled dearly ever since moving to United from Arsenal back in January, with the Chilean international only managing to bag a measly four goals in 30 games for the club.

Costa would be a seriously good replacement for Sanchez in United’s side, even despite his struggles in front of goal this season.

United have launched a big money move to bring Costa to Old Trafford

The Brazilian international is yet to score for Juve this campaign, with the player only managing to find the net six times since joining the Old Lady from Bayern in the summer of 2017.

Despite his shoddy record in front of goal, Costa is still a seriously talented winger, with his lightning-quick pace and tricky feet making him a real danger down Juve’s left hand side.

It’ll be interesting to see if the Italian giants accept United’s £54M offer in the near future, something that could spell the end for Sanchez’ time with the club…

Speedy £40m South American ace keen on Arsenal move

Click:Hyperbaric Stretcher

Arsenal target Cristian Pavon is reportedly keen on a move to London.

The 22-year-old Argentina international has already been the subject of an approach by the Gunners, according to The Sun, who claim that Boca Juniors are demanding £40m for their star man.

Arsenal are not the only Premier League club looking at Pavon, with Fulham also interested, per The Sun.

The newspaper cite sources who claim that Pavon finds both Arsenal and Fulham appealing propositions, but the Cottagers are likely to be priced out of the market.

Pavon would be one of the fastest players in Unai Emery’s squad were he to move to the Emirates Stadium in January.

The 5ft 7in speedster is also an expert dribbler, while he is one of the most determined and hard-working players at Boca.

Pavon’s natural position is wide on the right flank but he is also proficient playing on the left or through the middle.

He is under contract until 2022. But he has a £44.5m release clause in that deal, according to football.london.

Chelsea launch transfer offer for La Liga star also linked with Arsenal

Chelsea have reportedly made an offer to Real Madrid playmaker Isco in the last few hours, according to Spanish source Don Balon.

The piece also links the Blues with a strong interest in Barcelona attacking midfielder Philippe Coutinho as they seemingly look for players who could replace Eden Hazard.

Despite a promising start to 2018/19, it’s been another disappointing campaign at Stamford Bridge, with Maurizio Sarri looking in need of some new additions to bolster this Chelsea squad.

Isco could be a risky potential signing, though he is also up there with the finest creative midfield players in Europe on his day.

The Spain international hasn’t had things all his own way at the Bernabeu in recent times, having fallen out of favour under manager Santiago Solari this season.

Isco could leave Real Madrid for a transfer to Chelsea or Arsenal

That could put Chelsea in a good position to snap him up, and fans would surely take him as an option given the risk of losing Hazard as he nears the end of his contract.

AC Milan prepared to pay €100M to seal transfer of quality Real Madrid talisman

Click:api 6d ball valve

AC Milan are reportedly willing to fork out around €100M in order to bring Real Madrid and Wales star Gareth Bale to Serie A. 

It’s fair to say that Bale hasn’t had it all his own way since moving to the Santiago Bernabeu, with injuries and inconsistent form plaguing the winger’s time in the Spanish capital.

And it seems like the former Spurs man may be about to be offered a way out of Real Madrid if this report from Don Balon is anything to go by.

The report from the Spanish news outlet notes that the Spanish giants are willing to listen to offers for the forward, with AC Milan keen on sealing a move for the player.

Don Balon’s report notes that Milan are ready to fork out €100M to bring Bale to the San Siro, a price that may be too much for a player like the Welshman.

Bale has been fairly injury prone since his move to Real, with the 29-year-old failing to make the step up to being Real’s main man following Cristiano Ronaldo’s move to Juventus in the summer.

Milan are ready to fork out a huge sum in order to bring Gareth Bale to Italy

If Milan do come in with a €100M bid for Bale, Los Blancos should definitely accept, especially when you consider how injury prone the player is, as well as the fact that he’s to turn 30 later this year.

Milan haven’t been at the top of European football for quite some time now, however should they bring Bale in, it could be the signing the club need to propel them to the top of the world once again.
