Microsoft has joined the growing list of companies that have restricted their operations in Russia in response to Moscow's military offensive in Ukraine.

It will suspend all new sales of Microsoft products and services in Russia, the Washington-based technology company announced on Friday.

The company said it is co-ordinating with the governments of the US, the UK and the EU and is stopping many aspects of its business in Russia in compliance with a recent series of sanctions.

“We are horrified, angered and saddened by the images and news coming from the war in Ukraine,” said Brad Smith, president and vice chairman of the company.

“We will take additional steps as this situation continues to evolve … our single most impactful area of work almost certainly is the protection of Ukraine’s cyber security.

“We continue to help cyber security officials in Ukraine defend against Russian attacks, including most recently against a major Ukrainian broadcaster.”

Several international companies — including oil majors such as Shell, ExxonMobil and BP, car makers Toyota, Honda and General Motors as well as technology titans such as Apple and Meta — have suspended or limited business ties with Russia amid the military conflict.

Since the start of offensive, Microsoft has acted against Russia's targeting of more than 20 Ukrainian government, IT and financial sector organisations, it said.

The company has also acted against cyber attacks on “civilian sites".

“We stand with Ukraine in calling for the restoration of peace, respect for Ukraine’s sovereignty and the protection of its people,” Mr Smith said.

Last month, before the start of Russian offensive, Microsoft’s threat intelligence centre detected a new round of cyber attacks directed against Ukraine’s digital infrastructure.

“We immediately advised the Ukrainian government about the situation, including our identification of the use of a new malware package and provided technical advice on steps to prevent the malware’s success,” Mr Smith said.

The US and its allies in Europe have imposed a host of sanctions on Moscow, while some Russian banks have been barred from the Swift global financial network.

Some countries closed their airspace to Russian aircraft, and the US Justice Department is also seeking to seize yachts, luxury apartments and private jets belonging to wealthy Russians with ties to President Vladimir Putin.

No more lice

Defining head lice

Pediculus humanus capitis are tiny wingless insects that feed on blood from the human scalp. The adult head louse is up to 3mm long, has six legs, and is tan to greyish-white in colour. The female lives up to four weeks and, once mature, can lay up to 10 eggs per day. These tiny nits firmly attach to the base of the hair shaft, get incubated by body heat and hatch in eight days or so.

Identifying lice

Lice can be identified by itching or a tickling sensation of something moving within the hair. One can confirm that a person has lice by looking closely through the hair and scalp for nits, nymphs or lice. Head lice are most frequently located behind the ears and near the neckline.

Treating lice at home

Head lice must be treated as soon as they are spotted. Start by checking everyone in the family for them, then follow these steps. Remove and wash all clothing and bedding with hot water. Apply medicine according to the label instructions. If some live lice are still found eight to 12 hours after treatment, but are moving more slowly than before, do not re-treat. Comb dead and remaining live lice out of the hair using a fine-toothed comb.
After the initial treatment, check for, comb and remove nits and lice from hair every two to three days. Soak combs and brushes in hot water for 10 minutes.Vacuum the floor and furniture, particularly where the infested person sat or lay.

What is a robo-adviser?

Robo-advisers use an online sign-up process to gauge an investor’s risk tolerance by feeding information such as their age, income, saving goals and investment history into an algorithm, which then assigns them an investment portfolio, ranging from more conservative to higher risk ones.

These portfolios are made up of exchange traded funds (ETFs) with exposure to indices such as US and global equities, fixed-income products like bonds, though exposure to real estate, commodity ETFs or gold is also possible.

Investing in ETFs allows robo-advisers to offer fees far lower than traditional investments, such as actively managed mutual funds bought through a bank or broker. Investors can buy ETFs directly via a brokerage, but with robo-advisers they benefit from investment portfolios matched to their risk tolerance as well as being user friendly.

Many robo-advisers charge what are called wrap fees, meaning there are no additional fees such as subscription or withdrawal fees, success fees or fees for rebalancing.

TOUCH RULES

Touch is derived from rugby league. Teams consist of up to 14 players with a maximum of six on the field at any time.

Teams can make as many substitutions as they want during the 40 minute matches.

Similar to rugby league, the attacking team has six attempts - or touches - before possession changes over.

A touch is any contact between the player with the ball and a defender, and must be with minimum force.

After a touch the player performs a “roll-ball” - similar to the play-the-ball in league - stepping over or rolling the ball between the feet.

At the roll-ball, the defenders have to retreat a minimum of five metres.

A touchdown is scored when an attacking player places the ball on or over the score-line.
