| Jimmy Carter sends letter to Georgia Republican governor candidate asking him to resign Posted: 29 Oct 2018 07:16 AM PDT  Mr Carter, himself the former governor of the Peach State, asked Mr Kemp to vacate his position since the office is in charge of monitoring election results. In a letter made available to the Associated Press, Mr Carter cited his vast experience watching elections around the world through the Carter Center, an Atlanta-based human rights organisation: "One of the key requirements for a fair and trusted process is that there be a nonbiased supervision of the electoral process". The 94-year-old politician and volunteer with Habitat for Humanity wrote to Mr Kemp in what the AP called "less as a partisan who has endorsed [Ms] Abrams and more as the former president who's spent the decades since he left the Oval Office monitoring elections around the world".

| Bolsonaro Gets Brazilian Oil Windfall With Output Poised to Soar Posted: 29 Oct 2018 10:09 AM PDT  After a decade of stagnant production, Brazil's offshore mega-projects are about to deliver a double whammy with exports set to surge and Brent prices comfortably above $70 a barrel. This means more revenue for a country beset with fiscal deficits, and more activity in a key industry, said Decio Oddone, the head of Brazil's National Petroleum Agency. The oil turnaround gives the government more than just cash -- it promises to revive the fortunes of Petrobras, the much-maligned state-controlled state oil company that's a source of pride for many Brazilians but which has spent the past few years mired in scandal.

| Everything You Need to Know About Brazil’s Election: Balance of Power Special Posted: 28 Oct 2018 04:01 AM PDT ![Everything You Need to Know About Brazil's Election: Balance of Power Special]( "Everything You Need to Know About Brazil's Election: Balance of Power Special") The clear front-runner in today's presidential vote is Jair Bolsonaro, the former army captain with a penchant for slurs against minorities and women and attacks on the trustworthiness of democracy itself. Bolsonaro's opponent, Fernando Haddad, a leftist former Sao Paulo mayor, has faced a difficult task of wooing an electorate fed up with years of rule by his party and the graft scandals under presidents Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and Dilma Rousseff that shifted the political landscape from left to right in just about three years. Both candidates called for calm and respect after a campaign that saw Bolsonaro stabbed at a rally and supporters of each candidate branded rivals as fascists or communists.

| Former beauty queen who was runner-up in Thailand's Miss Universe named as Leicester City crash victim Posted: 29 Oct 2018 05:49 AM PDT  One of the five victims of the helicopter crash outside the home of Leicester City Football Club was a runner-up in Thailand's Miss Universe beauty pageant. Nursara Suknamai, 33, died alongside her boss and the club's owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha in the incident, which also claimed the lives of colleague Kaveporn Pupare and pilots Eric Swaffer and Izabela Roza Lechowicz. The former beauty queen's social media pages are filled with photographs of her with Leicester City players including Harry Maguire and Jamie Vardy. Yoga fanatic Ms Suknamai regularly posted her workouts on Instagram as well as other shots from Venice, Milan, Nice, Paris, Royal Ascot and the FIFA World Cup in Russia in the summer. In 2005, she finished runner-up in Miss Thailand Universe and won a "Miss Photogenic" competition before going on to work in television. She starred in Thai soap operas between 2007 and 2013 before moving on to work full-time as an assistant to Mr Srivaddhanaprabha. View this post on Instagram Bonjour #bonjour #eiffeltower A post shared by Nusara Suknamai (@zara_nusara) on Sep 11, 2018 at 1:24pm PDT Her last few posts on Facebook revealed a life of glamour and high end dining at some of London's most exquisite restaurants, including the Italian Zafferano's in Belgravia and Umu, a Japanese restaurant in Mayfair. On the day before the crash, Ms Suknamai enjoyed freshly imported Greek fish at Estiatoro Milos, which describes itself as one of the finest seafood restaurants in the world. Beneath the pictures of delicious seafood, friends expressed their shock with praying hands emojis and "RIPs. "Are you really lost?" asked one. View this post on Instagram Match winner 1-2 �������� #Lcfc #southampton A post shared by Nusara Suknamai (@zara_nusara) on Aug 25, 2018 at 10:15am PDT The former model showed a love for travel and for Leicester City Football Club on her social media pages, posing on the London's King's Road, at Avenue Montaigne in Paris, and with England football manager, Gareth Southgate, at the King Power stadium. On Instagram, she smiled in a picture with Leicester players Harry Maguire and Wes Morgan, and entertained her 16,000 followers with stunning shots from trips to Ascot, the Greek island of Santorini, her summer in Nice and in Porto Cervo, Italy. Her friends and fans took to social media with moving tributes to her life. Nursara Suknamai and England manager Gareth Southgate "I kept praying that it wasn't you but the miracle isn't real. This friend of mine has left us for good," said one friend, Khamutchart Khemchira, on her Facebook page, next to a black and white collage of pictures. "I could only pray for you last night. And then you came to say goodbye to me in my dream, talked to me in a cheery voice. I don't remember what you said to me. I asked heaven to take you back and take care of my angel friend."

| Cesar Sayoc in court: Pipe bomb suspect allegedly 'had list of people in hundreds' to send packages to as another intercepted in Atlanta Posted: 29 Oct 2018 01:45 PM PDT  Shackled and wearing a beige jumpsuit, the man accused of sending at least 14 pipe bombs to prominent Democrats and critics of the president has been formally charged with five federal crimes in a Miami courtroom. The first court appearance of Cesar Sayoc, 56, came just hours after a 15th suspicious package was intercepted in Atlanta on its way to the CNN headquarters - what may have been the last in a series the suspect was able to mail from a list of, reportedly, hundreds of potential targets. In response to that package, CNN president Jeff Zucker said all domestic mail had been screened at off-site locations since last week, when it received two other packages addressed to the network's contributors, and bomb squads were called in to the Atlanta post office where the package was detected.

| Brazil on Course to Usher in New Era of Hard-Right Politics Posted: 28 Oct 2018 12:41 PM PDT  Barring an upset, Jair Bolsonaro, 63, will win the presidency after a divisive campaign that encompassed his stabbing, an onslaught of fake news and the imprisonment on corruption charges of former president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, who had been the front-runner. Lula's successor, Fernando Haddad, 55, has largely failed to shake off public anger over his Workers' Party's record of graft. Antonio Henrique, a 52-year-old bank employee in Rio de Janeiro, said Sunday that he's voted for the Workers' Party in every election since the 1980s, but crime, revelations of corruption and economic recession have him voting this time for Bolsonaro instead.

| Guy tries to shoo cat off his car, breaks windshield instead Posted: 29 Oct 2018 12:18 PM PDT  Viral Hog shared a video on Monday of a man attempting to shoo a cat off his car by kicking his windshield. Of course! Always the right way to go about something like this. Naturally, things did not go as planned. One kick wasn't quite enough to get the cat to move, so he gave the windshield another forceful kick, resulting in a sizable crack. "I was resting in the car when a cat approached the front windshield," the man — whose identity is concealed — told Viral Hog. "I wanted to scare him with my foot but apparently, I hit the glass way too hard and the glass broke." Probably best to just get out of the vehicle and shoo the cat in the future. Or better yet, just let the little fuzzball hang out if you're not in a rush to go anywhere.
