An Indian court cleared the 3,500-acre wildlife facility known as Vantara on Monday of allegations including unlawful acquisition of animals and financial wrongdoing. But the decision is unlikely to quiet questions about how Vantara, which describes itself as a wildlife rehabilitation and conservation centre, has stocked its enclosures.

Migue Amoedo, visual artistic director of "Billionaires' Bunker", described... Читать дальше...

"I don't think the gravity of that situation has permeated through my brain yet," 19-year-old Joseph Lee told AFP at the close of a two-day hearing in Lighthiser v. Trump. "I'm going to wake up and realize, 'Wow, I really did that.' I testified in court against my own federal government, and it's just such a meaningful thing to be part of this process." The case challenges three executive orders that the plaintiffs say trample their inalienable rights to life and liberty by seeking to "unleash"... Читать дальше...

With the games industry enduring weak growth in recent years, it's rare and risky for smaller operators to separate from a larger entity. "When you're independent, you have to be crystal clear that every game could be the last," said Romain de Waubert de Genlis, the head of the Paris-based outfit. His team of 50-odd developers are days away from releasing an early-access version of "Endless Legend 2" for PC, ahead of the polished final product sometime next year. Founded by former workers at French games juggernaut Ubisoft... Читать дальше...
