A wildlife sanctuary says it is being inundated with abandoned goats because hard up Brits are struggling to afford the animals. Buttercups Sanctuary for Goats, based in , has received a sudden influx of goats over the past fortnight - after a series of people "ditched" the poor animals and left them on busy roads. The site is now caring for just over 130 goats - which workers say is "slightly above" its maximum capacity. Head of hoof stock Ben Ward says this means the sanctuary cannot take any more goats in until it rehomes some of those it has - and has called on animal lovers to help. Mr Ward said: "Our job is to rescue and rehome goats. But there’s no pattern that dictates how often we get enquiries about helping goats. "And over the past couple weeks, we've had an inundation of goats. We received 13 because their owner had suddenly passed away and there was no one left to look after them - but others were just abandoned by the roadside. "A mum and baby goat were ditched on the A229 - and they weren't even tethered. The mum had a poorly foot, which I reckon is the only thing which stopped them from walking out into the traffic. "It's awful to think about what could have happened." Mr Ward said it's impossible to understand exactly why people abandon animals, but guessed that it might be to do with the costs. He said: "We're in a cost of living crisis and the costs of everything are rising, so that may push people to this. Others may not have considered beforehand the obligations that come with owning an animal. "And for others, I think there is an awareness that if they abandon an animal - people feel obligated to come and collect it. Maybe people know that places like us exist and assume they can just fall back on it." But Buttercups Sanctuary now has so many goats that it may not be able to help any others in need. "We are at a point where we can't take any more animals in until we alleviate the ones that we've got," Mr Ward said. "We've had to put up temporary pens already and we're just at capacity." Mr Ward insisted that anyone looking to rehome a goat would "get a lot out of it". He said: "Goats are actually a lot like dogs. They're incredibly loving, compassionate, personable, and intelligent. "If they stay with us, they'll still have a wonderful life. But if they are rehomed - they get more out of that one-to-one care and closeness." However, he stressed that people need to consider what they're getting themselves in for. "The day-to-day costs, such as food, aren't actually that much, perhaps £300 per goat per year," Mr Ward said. "But the initial outlays are more expensive, like making sure you have land, stabling, and fencing." And for those who want to help but can't take on a goat at the moment, Mr Ward says financial contributions are "just as helpful". He said: "We understand that plenty of people don't have the ability to take on a goat, and honestly, financial contributions, no matter how big or small, are just as helpful. This helps us keep running and makes sure we can look after as many goats as possible."

Every time you create a new user account in Windows, it will set a default user account picture. We will show how you can change the default user account picture in Windows. You can use any picture of your choice. On top of this, you can even standardize the default user account icon by preventing users from changing it. Windows users can update their default account picture through the Settings app, the user accounts picture folder, or the online Microsoft dashboard. To access your profile photos, open Settings -> Accounts -> Account settings -> Your info . Go to Adjust your photo section. Here, you can change the default user account picture to any other picture of your choice by clicking Open Camera to take a photo, or through Browse files . The new image will be displayed immediately on the accounts page. In the past, you could also change the user account picture from Control Panel. This option has been disabled now. Windows stores the default user account icon in the PNG format within a system folder in a variety of sizes. By replacing these default pictures with the icon of our choice, we can change the default account picture. Launch File Explorer and go to the %ProgramData%\Microsoft\User Account Pictures folder. Here you will see all the default user account icons. We need to replace the user icon image files with another profile pic of the same dimensions. First, download the picture or icon of your choice that is at least 512px x 512px. Make sure that the width and height are the same. Now, create five copies of the icon and resize and rename them. You can use MS Paint for quick resizing into any of these dimensions. In the next step, simply copy and paste the default icon pictures for above dimensions into the User Account Pictures folder. You’ll need to tap Replace the file in the destination to enable the new choices. This will overwrite the older files, so creating a backup is essential. The backup files can be saved in any folder from which they can be easily retrieved. Alternatively, you can use the .BKP extension for backups. Rename “user.png,” “user-192.png,” “user-48.png,” “user-40.png,” and “user-32.png” to “user.png.bkp,” “user-192.png.bkp,” “user-48.png.bkp,” “user-40.png.bkp,” and “user-32.png.bkp” respectively. You can ignore the “user.bmp” file. Note: If you don’t want to go through the renaming process, you can simply delete or replace them. But if you do that, you might not be able to restore the default icons when needed. You can simply copy the icons from another system though.

Manipur: Joint forces launch search in Imphal east following shootingsUConn announced a two-year contract extension for head football coach Jim Mora on Saturday, just before the team took the field for the Fenway Bowl against North Carolina. Mora’s contract extension will run through 2028 and will pay him $10 million through the remaining four years, with the opportunity to earn more in incentives. The 63-year-old coach is set to make $1.7 million next season, $1.9 million in 2026 and $2.3 and $2.4 million in 2027 and 2028, respectively. UConn then went out and thrashed North Carolina, 27-14, in a game that wasn’t as close as the score indicated. “I am forever grateful. I’m grateful to (athletic director) David (Benedict) and (school president) Radenka (Maric) and the Board of Trustees, but this is about what the (UConn players) did today,” Mora said when asked about the extension in the postgame press conference. People are also reading... In a statement released by UConn ahead of the game, Mora said: “I’d like to thank David Benedict, Radenka Maric and the University of Connecticut leadership for their trust in me and their commitment to our football program. When I first got here, I talked about where we wanted this program to go and we have shown great progress but we still have plenty of work to do. The commitment and dedication from the university and the athletic department has me excited about the future for our football team.” “Three years ago, I tasked Jim Mora with the challenge of leading our football team back to success and through his experience, energy and leadership he has done just that,” UConn athletic director David Benedict said in a statement. “He has taken our program to post season bowl games twice and just guided our team to one of the best seasons in UConn football history, building a momentum to keep this program moving forward. I look forward to his leadership of our football team in the years ahead.” Mora is coming off one of the most successful seasons in UConn football history, having led the team to an 8-4 record and an appearance in the Fenway Bowl. It’s the Huskies’ second bowl appearance in three years. UConn’s eight wins is the most for the program since 2010, and the Huskies had their first winning season since that year, too. A win Saturday would give UConn nine wins for just the third time in program history, with the last two such seasons coming in 2003 and 2007. Robbins heading to Tulsa UConn quarterbacks coach Brad Robbins is heading to Tulsa as an offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach, according to a report from CBS Sports. Robbins was part of a coaching staff that helped the offense produce its most prolific attack since the 2009 season and fifth-most in program history (32.3 points per game). Robbins worked at FCS Tennessee Tech and Division II North Greenville before joining Jim Mora’s staff in spring 2023. Be the first to know Get local news delivered to your inbox!

Libyan official says discussed energy, migration with new Syria leaderA leading economist from the University of Ghana, Patrick Asuming, has warned that the country’s economic challenges demand more than just election promises, urging political parties to present concrete, long-term solutions. Speaking in an interview with Berla Mundi on Ghana Decides on TV3, Asuming expressed concern over the disconnect between political manifestos and the realities of the Ghanaian economy. While both major political parties emphasize job creation, he argued that their proposed solutions fail to address the root cause of the nation’s economic struggles. Asuming highlighted that although there is a significant focus on youth training, the critical issue remains: the economy is not generating enough jobs to accommodate the growing number of skilled workers. “The economy itself is not generating enough jobs,” he stated, underscoring the mismatch between political promises and the economic landscape. The renowned economist pointed to a disconnect between macroeconomic indicators, which may show positive growth, and the lived experiences of ordinary Ghanaians. “When you speak to Ghanaians, you see that there’s a disconnect between what the growth numbers are telling us and what people are feeling,” he explained. This gap, according to Asuming, is partly due to the dominance of foreign-controlled sectors like mining and quarrying, which limit the participation of Ghanaian workers. Additionally, Asuming expressed concern about the informal sector, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs), which are grappling with issues such as currency instability and rising costs. Asuming criticized the manifestos for focusing on youth unemployment without adequately addressing the structural issues that prevent young people from benefiting from economic growth. He specifically addressed the National Democratic Congress’s (NDC) proposed 24-hour economy policy, acknowledging that while it could foster a more attractive business environment, its long-term effectiveness remains uncertain. “The 24-hour economy could create a better environment for businesses, but we need to assess how it will be implemented,” Asuming explained. He expressed cautious optimism, noting that its success would depend on stabilizing the macroeconomic environment and ensuring that any incentives offered would benefit ordinary Ghanaians. He also raised concerns about the cost of such incentives and their potential impact on taxpayers. “Any incentive offered to businesses must be carefully considered to ensure it benefits the average Ghanaian,” he added. Asuming concluded that for the policy to have a meaningful impact, more detailed and actionable plans are needed, and the underlying economic challenges must be addressed. As Ghana prepares for the 2024 elections, the real question remains whether these political promises will result in tangible changes for the nation’s youth and broader economic landscape.
Unum Group stock underperforms Friday when compared to competitors‘This is the toughest time since the genocide began’: Famine continues to spread across GazaPHOENIX — If the postgame pictures spoke loudly after Arizona State beat Kansas State on the road, the press conference comments were piercing. "College Gameday said, 'Why are we even picking this game?' which is super disrespectful," ASU quarterback Sam Leavitt said. "And then we go out and put on a show." Sam Leavitt's love for winning is deeply rooted in the disrespect he feels the rest of the country has shown both his team and himself. "The QB discussion," he said. "I wasn't rated higher than Avery (Johnson) in high school and he had more offers than me. It was kind of a point to prove that I was a better player." Consider one of the receipts read and another one printed for this week. Sam Leavitt's redemption tour continues against a school that surprisingly didn't offer him a football scholarship out of high school. "Every team that didn't offer me bothered me growing up," he said. A matchup against No. 14 BYU goes deeper than just Sam. The entire Leavitt lineage knows what is on the line. "I don't have any feelings towards wanting BYU to do anything right," Sam's dad, Jared Leavitt, said. "I hope it's a complete disaster for them, that we throttle those guys." The elder Leavitt has a past in Provo, having played linebacker for the Cougars in the early 1990s. He was a part of two teams that were loaded with talent. "We had great teams at BYU. We were really really good," Jared Leavitt said. Jared Leavitt said most of the credit should go to his quarterback. "Let's just be honest. Ty was the magic man. He was doing some pretty incredible things," he said. The quarterback himself is quick to deflect to the defense. "We beat No. 1 Miami," said Ty Detmer, a former BYU quarterback and current ALA Gilbert North head coach. "We had five turnovers on offense. Held them to 21 points. Probably a big reason I was able to win the Heisman Trophy is because the defense played so well in our biggest game that year." Detmer knows a big game when he sees one. RELATED: The biggest game in a decade: ASU football readies up for showdown with No. 14 BYU ALA Gilbert North plays in the second round of the high school football playoffs on Friday. He is then taking his team to the Saturday showdown in Tempe. They were able to score cheap seats in the upper deck of the stadium. From one quarterback to another, Detmer will have his sights on Sam Leavitt. "He's become that guy. As a former quarterback, you can appreciate that and appreciate the way he handles himself during the games," he said. Detmer said the confidence of Sam Leavitt is not in question, and that it's understandable his family has questions about the radio silence during the recruiting process. For his part, Jared Leavitt said he was sure Sam Leavitt would eventually receive an offer from BYU, but another quarterback had committed to the Cougars before his son did. "Kind of a big mistake, don't you think?" Jared Leavitt added. The answer will soon be loud and clear—whether disbelief from BYU is a disadvantage on Saturday against Sam Leavitt and the Sun Devils. "That's natural to have a little chip on your shoulder. Sometimes that's good for you too, to really lock in and make this week important," Detmer said.
