Wayne Couzens A British police officer who falsely arrested a woman for breaking coronavirus restrictions, then kidnapped, raped and murdered her, was given a rare whole-life jail term on Thursday. Judge Adrian Fulford told Wayne Couzens, 48, his offences were “grotesque”, after he snatched Sarah Everard off the streets of south London in March this year. Everard’s disappearance sparked one of Britain’s most high-profile missing persons investigations and protests calling for better safety for women in public spaces.

Couzens, who served with the elite diplomatic protection unit of London’s Metropolitan Police, admitted kidnapping, rape and murder at a hearing in July and was sacked. Sentencing him at the Old Bailey, in central London, Fulford called Couzens’ actions “devastating, tragic and wholly brutal” and sa

Review of Discord a Social Network Platform

Image
Discord is a cross-platform voice and text chat application intended for use while gaming. Originally developed by Hammer & Chisel, it was released in 2015 as the primary means of communication between players on the FFXIV: ARR server. The open beta version that I use has been significantly updated since then, but this review will focus on its original design and features only. Aside from a brief initial tutorial which you’ll pass through within minutes of starting up Discord for the first time, there isn’t much to set up or learn about how to operate the program. Even without reading any help files or taking advantage of any user tips provided during loading screens, anyone qualified for elementary school computer usage should be able to navigate their way around with few problems. A lot of the reason for that simplicity is the lack of any distinctive interface. There’s nothing to click or tap on, and no unifying visual theme tying everything together into a complete whole. In
