IntroductionA plus may have disappeared from the name, but don't let that fool you - the vivo X80 Pro is the spiritual successor to the X70 Pro+. And, very importantly, it's going further than the X70 Pro+ - all the way to Europe now. We're reviewing a global variant of the X80 Pro with a Snapdragon/Funtouch combo. In true top-tier fashion, the OLED display of the X80 Pro features QHD resolution and supports variable refresh rate up to 120Hz (but also as low as 1Hz).

Gunman kills 19 children, 2 adults in Texas school rampage
Tuesday's assault at Robb Elementary School in the heavily Latino town of Uvalde was the deadliest shooting at a U.S. school since Sandy Hook. UVALDE, Texas — An 18-year-old gunman killed 19 children and two adults as he went from classroom to classroom at a Texas elementary school, officials said, adding to a gruesome, yearslong series of mass killings at churches, schools and stores. The attacker was killed by a Border Patrol agent who rushed into the school without waiting for backup, according to a law enforcement official. The agent was wounded but able to walk out of the school, the law enforcement official said. It was corrected to reflect that state Sen. Roland Gutierrez said the gunman shot his grandmother before going to the school; he did not say the gunman killed his grandmother.

Huawei confirms that its partnership with Leica has ended
Earlier today Xiaomi announced a partnership with Leica, which spelled the end for the long lasting cooperation between the camera maker and Huawei (since 2016). This means that the P50 and P50 Pro are the last Huawei phones with Leica cameras. The P50 Pocket skipped the Leica branding, despite launching in December last year (months before the partnership officially ended). This means that the Huawei Mate 50, whenever it may appear, will also go with an unbranded camera. The Huawei P50 and P50 Pro were the last phones from the company to have Leica camerasThere were speculations as early as May last year that Leica was looking to jump ship after Huawei’s market share slid due to trade sanctions.

Election: Only way out of the national crisis?
Election: Only way out of the national crisis? That all the representatives on the banks of the Diyawanna Oya can be painted with the same brush has been disputed. The 18th Amendment to the constitution was approved on September 8, 2010 with 161 MPa voting for and 17 against it. In spite of days of acute suffering Sri Lankans have gone through since then, Gotabaya doesn’t seem to be going. Since the Gota regime is quite unlikely to hold an election soon, could the activists declare ‘a revolution’ and hold a parliamentary election for the people to decide under the normal laws of the land?

Many people want to go overseas for jobs, long-stays By Raj Moorthy View(s): View(s):While the country is grappling with an economic crisis of unimaginable proportions, foreign embassies are experiencing a rising number of visa applications in all categories, which most likely means that many people want to leave the country for good. An unusual number of visa applications are piling up every day such that the visa processing times are taking longer than usual, a top western embassy official told the Business Times. “We are witnessing a rising number of visa applications unusually in all visa categories. In most cases the quality of the applications is such the visa cannot be granted,” he noted. Inbound travelers have dropped significantly over the past weeks due to the uncertain economic climate in the country.

In the early days, 41 years ago, not many flocked to the puda bima but the numbers grew through word-of-mouth and a majority seek medicine.
