Next Level: The iPhone 14 won’t have a SIM tray in the US – It’s eSIM-only from now on in the US
Most major US carriers, and many worldwide, have eSIM support, and iPhones have supported them since 2018, including the ability to use two SIMs at once. Up until the iPhone 13, that meant one eSIM and one physical SIM; the iPhone 13 family introduced the ability to use two eSIMs at the same time. Removing the physical SIM — and the hole in the case it requires — is the next logical step. At least for Apple, and at least in the US — the iPhone 14 still has a SIM tray everywhere else.

KENYAN PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION PETITION 2022 – MEDIA SUMMARY OF PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION PETITION JUDGMENT.
Kenya’s Supreme Court has ruled that William Ruto was validly elected President, dismissing 7 Consolidated Election Petitions seeking to annul the result of the 9th August Kenyan Presidential Election.
His rival, Raila Odinga, and others had alleged there had been massive fraud. But in a scathing ruling, the judges said some of the Petitioners had falsified evidence.

‘Man of the Hole’: Last of his tribe dies in Brazil-By Vanessa Buschschluter, BBC News
The man was the last of an indigenous group living in the Tanaru indigenous area in the state of Rondônia, which borders Bolivia.
The majority of his tribe is believed to have been killed as early as the 1970s by ranchers wanting to expand their land.
In 1995, six of the remaining members of his tribe were killed in an attack by illegal miners, making him the sole survivor.
Brazil’s Indigenous Affairs Agency (Funai) only became aware of his survival in 1996 and had been monitoring the area ever since for his safety.
It was during a routine patrol that Funai agent Altair José Algayer found the man’s body covered in macaw feathers in a hammock outside one of his straw huts.
THE “LITIGATION TRINITY” WE OFTEN TAKE FOR GRANTED
In my not-so-many years of practice, I have seen a number of cases dismissed or struck out because of some “minor” errors. One would think that as Legal Practitioners we should hardly commit these errors. Yet I have seen cases being handled by Junior Counsel, Counsel and Senior Counsel dismissed or struck out because of some of the errors in the areas I refer to as the “Litigation Trinity”. The Litigation Trinity: Cause of Action, Parties, Process/Procedure. The Litigation Trinity is the basis of every action in court. You miss a leg of the Trinity and be sure to find your action thrown out. In a football match, the ability of a soccer player to kick and pass the ball on the field of play is the least of his worries. However, it is the control, accuracy and directions of the passes that determine the outcome of the football match. A football team that does not master the “Trinity of Football” – control, accuracy, and direction- is sure to lose the match no matter the percentage of possession or the number of kicks. So it is in the field of litigation. No matter your suave, your advocacy or writing skills, a lawyer who fails to master the Litigation Trinity is bound to lose the case.

Beggars in the City: Civic Responsibility vrs Religious Obligation
In recent years, there have been increased activities of beggars on the principal streets of major cities in the country although begging is a criminal offence under Section 2 of the Beggars and Destitutes Act, 1969 (N.L.C.D. 392). Arguably Accra has been the leader in the activities of beggars in the country. Over the years, I have encountered these seven categories of beggars on the streets of Accra; I describe them by their status and the way they operate.
