Von der Leyen honoured for fostering European unity
"A clear message is coming out of Washington: Europeans ought to do more to provide for the defence of their own continent," Felipe said. "We should not underestimate how consequential this message is. There are few alive today that have lived in a Europe where the US, the United States, was not the dominant security provider."

The Irish Independent's View: It's up to Housing Minister James Browne to sort out scarcity of zoned land
Now that he is unshackled from the doomed role, he is free to opine on the housing dilemma. Mr McDonagh introduced 'Felipe' as an acronym for the solution to the biggest problem facing Ireland. 'F' stands for finance being available for developers to build; 'E' is for expertise in trades and the necessity to address the shortage of carpenters, plumbers and electricians; 'L' represents the availability of land for housing; 'I' is the infrastructure to service the zoned land; 'P is for the planning system, shortening the time taken to get building and reducing the amount of developments being appealed to An Bord Pleanála and then judicially reviewed, which also costs money; and finally, 'E' is engineering and availing of modern methods of building to enhance construction productivity. 'To me, if you solve those six issues, you have gone a long way towards trying to help resolve the situation,' Mr McDonagh told the Oireachtas Finance Committee last week. Easier said than done. But then this cohort of parties in Government has had the best part of a decade to address much of the 'Felipe' framework. After saying goodbye to the Troika, Fine Gael told us it wanted to keep the recovery going. Fianna Fáil joined them loosely in partnership in 2016, before a formal marriage in 2020. Now the two Civil War parties have ditched the Green Party and replaced them with the Independents. It's been evident throughout this period that fixing society and providing housing was equally as important as repairing the economy. The first step in solving any problem is recognising there is one. We're a long way past that stage now and yet we still don't seem to have moved into the solutions phase. Instead, the problem is still being discussed. The latest contribution to the debate has been the 'L' in 'Felipe' being picked up on and teased out. Three of the country's biggest home builders say that the limited availability of residentially zoned land for housing is the key driver of property inflation. Supply and demand means that prices are being sent rocketing by a chronic shortage of homes to buy at a time of strong demand, according to a KPMG report. The industry says the lack of zoned land to meet demand is driving up prices, according to the report. Rather than leaving it to local councils, Housing Minister James Browne is promising to step in and zone more land, particularly in areas near critical infrastructure like road, public transport, electricity and water services. It can't come soon enough. However, Mr Browne made a hames of the appointment of the housing tsar. Now the minister will just have to clean up the mess himself, rather than sub-contracting the job out.

Avid lottery player gets email that leaves her ‘speechless.' She had won big
CORRECTION: The '2nd Chance Bonus Draw' was incorrectly described as a separate game in an earlier version of this story. The corrected story is below. An avid lottery player won big even after her scratch-off was a losing ticket, California officials said. Heidy Felipe, of Pasadena, bought a '40 Years of Play' lottery ticket and although that ticket didn't win, she entered the '40 Years of Play 2nd Chance Bonus Draw,' according to an April 25 news release by the California Lottery. She landed $40,000. The '2nd Chance' game gives players the option to potentially win even if their initial game was a dud by scanning the code on their ticket with their lottery app, officials said. 'When I saw the email, I couldn't believe it,' Felipe told lottery officials. 'The next day, I went to the Lottery office, where they confirmed it was real, and I was speechless.' Although Felipe plays often, this was her first win, officials said. Felipe decided to use the money toward paying off her car and 'now she's just waiting for her title to arrive.' 'It's the best thing that's ever happened to me,' she told officials. Pasadena is about a 10-mile drive northeast from downtown Los Angeles.

Switch 2曝光為何遊戲公司都選實體「鑰匙卡」？傳任天堂實體卡帶只提供64GB容量版
任天堂在 Nintendo Switch 2 公開後，陸續有許多遊戲廠商確認，實體版將採取全新的「鑰匙卡」（Game-Key Card），引起許多玩家反彈，認為這只是換一種方式的數位版而已。而最近隨著新消息的傳出，也曝光了為什麼如此多廠商寧願選擇「鑰匙卡」，也不選擇傳統可以儲存資料的實體卡帶。 日本遊戲開發商 Arc System Works 以開發《聖騎士之戰》、《蒼翼默示錄》及《碧藍幻想Versus -RISING-》等格鬥遊戲聞名。近期傳出該公司遭受駭客攻擊（資料都尚未證實），導致大量內部機密資訊外洩，其中包含不少關於任天堂 Switch 2 的情報。據洩漏消息指出，Arc System Works 目前正在開發一款 Switch 2 獨佔遊戲，代號為「Watari」，採用 Unreal Engine 5.4 引擎打造，預計於今年 11 月 25 日上市。 並且其他流出的資訊中，還提到任天堂給遊戲廠商準備了 3 種 Switch 2 遊戲發行方式，共有「數位版」、「鑰匙卡」、「實體版」3 種，其中「鑰匙卡」代號為「Potion」，而 Switch 2 實體卡僅生產最大的 64GB 卡帶版本，並沒有像是 Switch 1 時期有其他更小容量的選項。大容量代表更高的成本，這或許也是為什麼許多遊戲廠商，尤其是一些中小型遊戲不需要用到如此大的空間，才會選擇放棄傳統實體卡帶。 [Nintendo Switch 2]Graças aos vazamentos da Arc System Works, encontrados apenas três tipos de formatos são exibidos para jogos em projeto para o Switch 2:• [DL] Jogo digital apenas• [64GB] Cartucho com jogo completo• [POTION] Codinome para o formato Key Card — 'Necro' Felipe #UnivNintendo (@necrolipe) May 10, 2025 緊貼最新科技資訊、網購優惠，追隨 Yahoo Tech 各大社交平台！ 🎉📱 Tech Facebook： 🎉📱 Tech Instagram： 🎉📱 Tech WhatsApp 社群： 🎉📱 Tech WhatsApp 頻道： 🎉📱 Tech Telegram 頻道：

Vitor Roque breaks his duck as Palmeiras beat Vasco and go top of table This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence. You can read the original version in 🇧🇷 here. Vitor Roque scored his first goal upon returning to Brazil, and Palmeiras defeated Vasco 1-0 to become the (provisional) leader of the Brasileirão. Advertisement Verdão reached 16 points. To finish the round at the top, the club will have to hope Flamengo loses - as they visit Cruzeiro at 6:30 PM this Sunday (4th). Meanwhile, Vasco dropped to 13th position, with seven points - six points behind the G-4 and one point above the relegation zone. Upcoming Matches 🗓️ The next round of the Brasileirão will feature Vitória vs. Vasco (on the 10th, Saturday, 6:30 PM) and Palmeiras vs. São Paulo (on the 11th, Sunday, 5:30 PM). Before that, the clubs will turn their attention to the Cups. Vasco will play against Puerto Cabello on Wednesday (7th), at 7 PM, at the Misael Delgado Stadium in Venezuela, for the South American Cup. Advertisement And Palmeiras will visit Cerro Porteño at 9:30 PM on Wednesday (7th), at Nueva Olla in Paraguay, for the Libertadores. How Vasco vs. Palmeiras Was 👇 Felipe rested Phillipe Coutinho and Vegetti. Abel Ferreira used full strength. The first half was marked by balance. In the best chance, at 48, Weverton made a poor exit. João Victor attempted a lob, but Giay saved with a bicycle kick. Palmeiras increased the intensity in the second half and scored the goal at 15 minutes, ending an uncomfortable drought. Hugo Moura made a mistake in the exit. Estêvão crossed low, and Roque finished into the net. It was his first goal in 13 matches for Verdão. Advertisement Vasco went on the attack, and the game became END TO END. Vitor Roque complained about a penalty not given, but the score remained unchanged. The match at Mané Garrincha had 30,000 fans - Vasco sold the home advantage (by choice) for about R$ 2 million.
