Mardi 15 septembre 2020, une conductrice a été flashée à 139 km/h sur la RD 37 limitée à 80 km/h. Les gendarmes ont alors procédé à l’immobilisation du véhicule. L’automobiliste devra quant à elle se rendre prochainement devant le tribunal.
Les gendarmes de Thouars dans le département des Deux-Sèvres, ont intercepté une automobiliste ce mardi 15 septembre au niveau de la commune de Taizé. La cause ? Elle circulait à une vitesse bien trop élevée par rapport à la limite autorisée sur la route départementale RD 37 : 139 km/h sur une portion limitée à 80 km/h.
Rapidement interceptée par les militaires, la conductrice au pied lourd a fait l’objet d’une rétention immédiate de son permis de conduire. Son véhicule a de son côté été mis en fourrière administrative pour une durée de 7 jours. La contrevenante sera convoquée prochainement devant le tribunal pour répondre de ses actes. Elle s’expose notamment à une contravention pouvant aller jusqu’à 1 500 € et à un retrait de 6 points sur son permis de conduire.
WASHINGTON: A top Senate Republican on Tuesday said conservative economist Judy Shelton does not have the votes to be confirmed to one of two vacancies on the Federal Reserve board.
Sen. John Thune of South Dakota, who holds the No. 2 spot in the Senate Republican leadership, said Shelton’s nomination will not be brought up until the votes are there.
We’re still working it, he told reporters after a weekly Republican lunch. She’s a priority for the White House. It’s the Federal Reserve. It’s important, so obviously we want to get it done. But we’re not going to bring it up until we have the votes to confirm her.”
Shelton’s nomination cleared the Senate Banking Committee earlier this year on a straight party-line vote of 13-12, with Democrats opposing the nomination. They contend that her views are too far out of the mainstream for the seven-member Fed board, which currently has two vacancies.
President Donald Trump nominated Shelton and Christopher Waller, the research director at the Federal Reserve’s regional bank in St. Louis, for two vacancies. If both win confirmation, the president will have installed six of the seven board members including elevating Republican Jerome Powell, originally an Obama selection, to be Fed chairman.
While Waller is viewed as a credible choice, Shelton has proven controversial because of her past views, including advocating a return to the gold standard, which most mainstream economists see as unworkable.
At her confirmation hearing, Shelton said she supports the Fed’s independence from political meddling but she defended the sharp attacks Trump has frequently launched against the central bank and Powell for the Fed’s handling of interest rates.
Trump has had trouble filling recent vacancies on the Fed board, with conservative economist Stephen Moore and the late Herman Cain, a former GOP presidential candidate, withdrawing from consideration after opposition surfaced.

Mi Smart Band 5 was launched in China as Mi Band 5 in June
Mi Smart Band 5 is set to launch in India on September 29, Amazon revealed through a microsite. The new Mi Smart Band model that is the successor to the Mi Smart Band 4 debuted in China in June as the Mi Band 5. The Mi Smart Band 5 comes with a larger, 1.1-inch colour AMOLED display over the 0.95-inch screen available on the Mi Smart Band 4. Xiaomi has also bundled a magnetic charging dock with the Mi Smart Band 5 for a convenient experience. The smart fitness band also includes an upgraded set of fitness-focussed features, including a dedicated women's health mode.
Mi Smart Band 5 launch in India will take place at 12pm (noon) IST on September 29. Amazon has already created the microsite to suggest the availability of the fitness band through its online marketplace. Additionally, you can expect it to go on sale shortly after the launch through Mi.com as well as Mi Home stores in the country.
The Mi Smart Band 5 launch will be a part of Xiaomi's Smarter Living virtual event in the country. It is expected to bring some new Internet of Things (IoT) devices, alongside the latest Mi Smart Band model. One of those devices could be the Mi Watch Revolve, which was tipped to be a rebranded model of the Mi Watch Colour that was launched in China earlier this year.
The Mi Smart Band 5 price in India will be announced at its launch. Nevertheless, it is likely to be in line with the China pricing that comes at CNY 189 (roughly Rs. 2,000) for the regular variant. An NFC model of the Mi Smart Band 5, on the other hand, is available in the Chinese market at CNY 229 (roughly Rs. 2,500) but it is unlikely to make its way to India. The band comes along with Black, Blue, Green, Pink, Purple, Orange, and Yellow strap options.
The Mi Smart Band 5 features a 1.1-inch colour AMOLED display that has a resolution of 126x294 pixels and supports over 100 new animated faces. Xiaomi offers 11 sports modes on the fitness band that use a built-in, six-axis accelerometer sensor to track exercises. There is also a PPG sensor for heart rate monitoring. Further, the Mi Smart Band 5 offers sleep monitoring.
Specifically for female users, the Mi Smart Band 5 comes with a women's health mode that helps them track their menstrual cycle. The fitness band also provides social media notifications and weather updates. It also lets users capture photos from their smartphone remotely. Further, the Mi Smart Band 5 comes with a built-in microphone for understanding voice commands.
The Mi Smart Band 5 supports Bluetooth v5.0 connectivity. It comes with 50-meter water resistance and can be worn at the time of taking shower or while swimming. Besides, the Mi Smart Band 5 packs a 125mAh battery that is touted to deliver up to 14 days of power on a single charge.

Minimum punishment for dowry deaths will be 10 years, K Palaniswami said (File)
Punishment for offences against women and children, including causing deaths by demanding dowry, stalking and selling minors for prostitution, will be made more stringent in Tamil Nadu, Chief Minister K Palaniswami announced in the Assembly on Wednesday.
Steps will be taken to bring amendments to the Indian Penal Code by taking the Centre's nod to provide a higher level of punishment for offences against women and children, he said.
The proposed move is to ensure better safety and security for women and children, he said while making a statement in the House.
As per the proposal, the minimum punishment for dowry deaths will be 10 years from the present seven and for disrobing, the minimum sentence will be enhanced to five years from three now and the maximum punishment, ten years from seven.
Similarly, stalking, on a second or subsequent conviction will see a maximum of seven years imprisonment from the present five, Mr Palaniswami said.
Recommendation will be made to the Union government to enhance the maximum punishment for selling and buying minors for prostitution to life imprisonment from 10 years now and for insertion of a minimum sentence of seven years, he said.
"I would like to resolutely say that Amma's government will always be a fortress of protection to women and children," he said.
Explaining the ongoing initiatives, he said those continuously involved in crimes against women and children were being detained under the Goondas Act.
A separate 'Crimes against women and children unit' was created in the Tamil Nadu police for the first time in the country on March 6, 2019 and it continued to function efficiently, he said.
