Cancelled my subscription to The Villages Daily Sun
To the Editor:I just cancelled my subscription to The Villages Daily Sun. I am angry that they did not cover the enormous golf cart rally that happened at Lake Sumter Landing on Saturday. We were told there were over 500 golf carts rallying in support of Kamala Harris. Yet not one word in the Daily Sun. So after 18 years of subscribing to this miserable paper, I have cancelled – permanently.

Garden Q&A: Did a caterpillar sting me?
Q: My basil plants have brown bumps on the lower part of their stems, and my diagnostic app said they could be scale. A: Apps vary in how accurate they are for any given diagnosis, and the more likely explanation in this case is that the bumps are adventitious roots. Adventitious roots do not typically finish developing into fully-fledged roots, and instead remain as firm, brownish or pale green nubs clustered on the stem. If the bumps on your basil stem do not rub off easily and are not associated with honeydew (a sticky, clear residue), then scale insects are not likely. In comparison, adventitious roots will not come off unless you scrape them away, which will injure the stem in the process.

Bangladesh suffered over 50,000 cyberattacks in 10 days during quota protests: State Minister
Hackers have carried out more than 50,000 cyberattacks in several rounds in the past 10 days to take control of important government websites during the quota reform protests, State Minister for ICT Zunaid Ahmed Palak has said. They used Domain Name System or DNS and diverted users to other pages containing messages from the hackers claiming to hack the website, according to him. Asked if the cyberattacks increased because of the protests, the state minister said: “Cyberattacks are carried out all the time as the hackers try to hack websites of organisations under national security. “But it’s true that cyberattacks have increased during the protests.”He also claimed there was no government instruction to slow the internet down after the resumption of services following a total blackout during the protests. VPN use has increased by 5,000 percent in this period, Palak said, citing technical people.

Two killed, 20 injured in India train derailment
PATNA, India, July 30, 2024 (BSS/AFP) - An Indian passenger train derailed and several of its cars overturned on Tuesday, killing at least two people and injuring 20 others. The accident happened at around the same time a goods train coming from the opposite side derailed, possibly colliding with the passenger train when it passed by. "There was another derailment of a goods train nearby, but it was unclear if the two accidents occurred concurrently," Charan said. An average of 20,000 people died each year between 2017 and 2021 in rail accidents, according to official records. Last year, nearly 300 people were killed when a passenger train and a stationary goods train collided, with the derailed compartments then striking another fast-moving passenger service.

Thousands across Serbia protest lithium mine restart
BELGRADE, July 30, 2024 (BSS/AFP) - Thousands rallied in towns across Serbia on Monday against the approval of a controversial lithium mine that had been shuttered for two years following mass protests. Serbia has vast lithium deposits near the western city of Loznica, where a mining project being developed by the Anglo-Australian mining giant Rio Tinto has been a perennial political fault line in the Balkan country in recent years. Chanting "Rio Tinto go away", hundreds of protesters marched through the streets of Arandjelovac, Sabac, Kraljevo and Ljig. But it has proved unpopular with Serbians worried about pollution, public health and the environmental impact of the project. The lithium deposits near Loznica were discovered in 2004, but weeks of protests forced the government to halt the project in 2022.
