Theresa May’s Offer To EU Citizens Living In UK Is ‘Below Expectations’ - Donald Tusk

Brexit: Theresa May’s offer to EU citizens living in UK is ‘below expectations’, says Donald Tusk

The European Union on Friday criticised Britain Prime Minister Theresa May’s proposal in connection with the rights of EU citizens living in the United Kingdom after Brexit. “The UK’s offer is below our expectations and that it risks worsening the situation of [EU] citizens,” European Council President Donald Tusk said, according to BBC.

According to the proposal that May presented at the two-day summit in Brussels on Thursday, those EU nationals who have been living in the UK for more than five years would be given a new “settled status”, reported The Independent. It will make them eligible for the same rights to healthcare, education, welfare and pensions as full British citizens.

Others who have been living in UK for less than five years will be able allowed to continue until they finish five years and gain the status. May is yet to announce the cut-off date after which new arrivals will not be granted the “settled status”. There are about three million EU citizens living in the UK.

Canadian high school basketball star is 29-year-old man, authorities say

Canadian authorities said Wednesday that a budding high school basketball star is actually a 29-year-old refugee from South Sudan. The Canadian Border Services Agency said that Jonathan Nicola was arrested earlier this week for contravening the country's Immigration Refugee Protection Act. The agency said Nicola "misrepresented material facts" on his application for a study permit to Canada, submitting an application with a date of birth of Nov. 25, 1998 — which would make him 17. The agency says when Nicola recently applied for a U.S. visitor visa, a fingerprint match determined he was an individual who had made a previous application to the U.S. using a date of birth of Nov. 1, 1986 — making him 29. The Windsor Star reported that Nicola was remanded into custody after a hearing before the country's Immigration and Refugee Board Tuesday. Another hearing is scheduled for next week. Nicola faces deportation if convicted Nicola was attending Catholic Central High S

Massive Cobra Cake Made By Mom

When Kristi’s son was moving up from Cub Scouts to Boy Scouts, she decided that the special occasion called for a special treat. She wanted to create something memorable, something that her son’s whole troop could enjoy. And did she deliver! The name of her son’s troop was the Cobra Den, so she decided to bake and decorate a cake that looked like a cobra. And she did—but she went way above and beyond. She got up at 5:00 in the morning, baked five separate Bundt cakes, and arranged them to create a six-foot-long slithering snake cake. Cutting the Bundt cakes in half, she put the halves end to end to make them look like a curving snake body. She used multiple batches of Rice Krispie Treat mix (which she also made) to sculpt the hooded head and pointy tail. Here are 12 baking mistakes you didn’t know you were making. With the cake put together, it was time for the frosting, which she also made herself. But she didn’t spread the frosting on the cake—she covered the whole thing with ti
