Fans of the late Princess of Wales flocked to London's Leicester Square to
catch a glimpse of Naomi Watts at the premiere of Diana.

The film stars two-time Oscar nominee Naomi Watts as the late Princess of Wales and Naveen Andrews as her lover Dr Hasnat Khan.

Both were on Leicester Square's red carpet to greet fans.

Detective Akesson wrote a report. The arrest report, which was marked People's exhibit one, contained the circumstances concerning defendant's arrest along with that of the codefendant Ernesto Rosales on June 17, 1990, shortly after the commission of a burglary on that date. As part of his investigation, Detective Akesson interviewed defendant and the codefendant Rosales in "our jail." Defendant and his accomplice were booked in the jail where the interview occurred under the same booking number as appeared in the arrest report, People's exhibit one, which was in the courtroom. Detective Akesson's testimony was based upon the various written police reports and his interview with defendant and the codefendant Rosales.
The report indicated that an eyewitness, Martha Turchious, saw defendant and the codefendant Rosales knocking on doors of anapartment building where she resided at 1634 6/8 Arapahoe Street in Los Angeles. Defendant *581 and his accomplice attempted to open doors to the apartments. When either defendant or the codefendant Rosales knocked on her door, one of them asked "for a fictitious person." Ms. Turchious refused to open the front door and saw that the front door of a neighbor, Erma Dubon, was closed. Approximately two to five minutes after defendant and the codefendant Rosales left her front door, she saw that the door to the apartment belonging to Ms. Dubon was open. Ms. Turchious then telephoned the police and gave a description of the two burglars. A police helicopter arrived near Ms. Dubon's apartment and defendant and the codefendant were observed "immediately outside of the apartment."


Defendant was observed by the occupants of the police helicopter to be holding a radio while the codefendant was holding a bag which later was discovered to contain a video cassette recorder (VCR). The officers in the police helicopter saw defendant and the codefendant drop "the property" in the rear of the apartment complex.
The occupant of the apartment that was broken into, Ms. Dubon, telephoned Officer Reems two hours after defendant's arrest. She told Officer Reems that she had locked the door to her apartment when she left for work on the morning of the incident. When she returned later in the day on June 17, 1990, a Sanyo radio and a Fisher VCR were gone. The two items dropped by the defendant and the codefendant outside theof her apartment and observed the front door of her neighbor's apartment, [Ms.] Dubon, to be open. The door was open. Whereas prior to the visit of these two defendants, the door had been closed." Additionally, when subjected to examination by the magistrate, Detective Akesson stated that Officer Reems had two years' experience as a police officer. During a brief redirect examination, Detective Akesson, in response to the prosecutor's question, stated that Officers Reems and Granillo worked "day watch" and were "approximately halfway through their eight-hour shift" at the time of the arrests.
After the redirect examination, defendant's attorney conducted further cross-examination. Detective Akesson admitted that he did not know where Ms. Turchious was at the time of the preliminary examination. The report did not indicate "whether an admonishment


$64 million the year prior. Excluding one time items, earnings per share were 31 cents, beating estimates of 27 cents per share, according to analysts polled by Thomson Reuters.

The all-important mobile market was a particular bright spot. The company said 945 million of its 1.2 billion users visit the site via a smartphone or tablet in the fourth quarter. That's up 39% from last year.

As a result, mobile is quickly growing in popularity with advertisers, and Facebook said ad revenue from mobile represented 53% of all ad revenue in the quarter -- up from 23% last year, and up from zero at the time of the company's initial public offering in May of 2011.

"2013 was the year we turned our business into a mobile business," Facebook founder Markare playing. The rollout of this product will be gradual, and it remains to be seen how users will take to it.

The integration of regular ads into news feeds appears to be going well. On the conference call, Facebook CFO David Ebersman said a big reason why ad revenue was up is because the company is getting a higher fee for integrated ads, which tend to attract more interest from consumers.

Last fall the company revealed ads on the popular photo sharing network Instagram, which Facebook bought in 2012.

Investors have largely cheered those and other moves, sending Facebook(FB) stock up nearly 75% over the last year. While overall revenue at the company may still be relatively small, investors feel there is great potential to sell advertising on a platform


Even as worldwide pressures mount to protect sites with high biological diversity, indigenous peoples and local communities are redoubling their struggles of resistance against a “solution” that claims to protect ecosystems, the establishment of protected natural areas (PNAs). The policy of establishing PNAs, which seeks to maintain the best conserved redoubts of the planet, is often at odds with the rights of native peoples, since many of those redoubts exist in the first place only because indigenous communities have conserved, recreated, and maintained them.

In Mexico, half the national territory, some 106 million hectares, is the property of ejidos andcomunidades agrarias, home to peasants and indigenous peoples. Although the discourse of protecting nature is familiar to the ways of thinking of such communities, PNAs have become a threat toyear 2010, the National Commission on Protected Natural Areas (Conanp: Comisión Nacional de Áreas Naturales Protegidas) administered 174 PNAs in Mexico covering 25.4 million hectares in all. According to a World Bank study, 95 percent of the PNAs are situated in areas of common use, both ejidos and comunidades agrarias, and at least 71 of them are on the territories of 36 indigenous peoples. Of the more than 152 priority terrestrial areas for conservation, covering some 51 million hectares, at least 60 overlap with indigenous territories.

In the late 1980s, the government, upon announcing plans to establish PNAs, were confronted by the ejidos and comunidades possessing the territories that were proposed as “voluntary” conservation areas. There are now 177 voluntary areas in 15 of Mexico’s 31 states, encompassing approximately


208,000 hectares, and at least nine indigenous peoples participate in them. Most are located in Oaxaca, with 79 voluntary certification areas.

Yet in 2008, the General Law on Ecological Balance and Environmental Protection introduced a change, making voluntary conservation areas one more category of protected natural area. The lands were declared to be under federal jurisdiction and of public utility – and then new conditions for their management imposed. This included promoting the entry of newcomers to the lands and giving them decision-making authority over resources used in common – which the communities had specifically sought to prohibit.

The 2008 law has sparked major conflicts in the territories between the communities and the Conanp. Each has its own model of conservation and structure of government.

Evers picked Barca, a Kenosha Democrat, to lead the state Department of Revenue last week. He was sworn into the Assembly on Monday and then turned in his resignation letter later that day.

Evers can now schedule a special election to fill Barca's seat. His spokeswoman, Melissa Baldauff, didn't immediately respond to an email inquiring about when Evers might schedule that contest.

Barca served in the Legislature from 1985 until 1993, served one term in Congress and won election to the Assembly again in 2009. He served continuously in the body since then, including a stint as minority leader, before joining Evers cabinet.Journal last December, in fact, noted that Sony and Panasonic had cancelled a partnership on OLED production, and were instead focusing on LCD-based systems, which were simpler to produce.

OLED looks good, but has moved slowly

The primary value of using OLED technology in TV sets and other displays is color reproduction, though the technology has taken years to produce in large sizes and at low costs. Even as the latter part of that equation has caught up, OLED sets are still pricey, and can cost three to four times as much as other technologies like plasma. One of the biggest trends among TV makers at this year's annual Consumer Electronics Show (where most of the new sets are shown off), took the big screen feature another step by curving


marched on Saturday. Unlike last year, when the focus was an event in Washington, D.C., the most high-profile protests this year took place in other cities, with Los Angeles taking the prize for the biggest march of all. According to Eric Garcetti, the city’s mayor, about six hundred thousand people took part. Here in New York, the Mayor’s office estimated that at least two hundred thousand people marched down Central Park West and Sixth Avenue. There were five-figure crowds in Chicago and Philadelphia, too. Equally impressive was the turnout in smaller cities, such as Austin, Texas; Asheville, North Carolina; Boise, Idaho; and Knoxville, Tennessee. On Sunday, the protests continued, with marches in other cities and a big rally at a football stadium in Las Vegas.

Lori Hull-Grommesh, director of demonstration at Memorial Hermann-Texas Medical Center, commented on program results in the Texas Gulf Coast area, noting that 95% of APRN graduates are employed in the community setting and are helping meet critical access needs. She said she believes that national funding would allow these results to be replicated in other states.

The report stated that demonstration schools had significantly greater APRN enrollment and graduation growth than comparison schools. It also touched on financial incentives: clinical training for an APRN came to a total of $30,000 compared with $150,000 for just 1 year of community-based residency training forprimary care physicians.

Although the GNE demonstration is slated to conclude at the end of June 2018, the five hospitals are currently collaborating with major national stakeholders in order to promote permanent funding to roll out the program nationally.

Aiken noted that various types of healthcare organizations, including physician practices and retail clinics, are hiring nurse practitioners in larger numbers and supporting efforts like the demonstration to increase the supply for advanced practice nurses. Also, healthcare settings are working to recruit more advanced practice nurses, especially for their valuable role in ending the opioid epidemic and addressing unmet mental healthcare needs, she pointed out.

As ordinary soldiers and police are arrested for crimes committed 30 years ago, it is becoming clear that there will be no mercy for abusers of human rights. This has clear implications for Kenya’s security forces who are blamed for the disappearances of thousands of people since 2006.

Former police driver, Bernard Kiriinya, seen here in this video grab from a testimony he made to the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights.

According to the BBC, a judge in Chile has issued arrest warrants for 129 people for allegedly helping to purge critics of former ruler General Augusto Pinochet. They are accused of taking part in killings and disappearances of dozens of leftists and opposition activists mostly in the 1970s.

The suspects – the largest group so far to facearrest warrants – all worked for the secret police agency, Dina. Many of those named in the arrest warrants are former low-ranking officers who were previously excluded from prosecution for Gen Pinochet’s human rights abuses.

Thousands of activists were killed or disappeared during the 1973-1990 rule of Gen Pinochet, who died in 2006 while awaiting trial.

The arrest warrants cited various Dina operations to track down Pinochet’s opponents, such as Operation Condor – a long-running campaign launched in the mid-1970s to hunt down and kill left-wingers. Condor was a continent-wide operation, also backed by the rulers of Argentina, Brazil, Bolivia, Paraguay and Uruguay.

These are good news for human rights activists in Kenya, who have for long condemned Kenya Police and security forces tactics of abducting people, torturing, then making them

The thought of making quality healthcare accessible to rural India motivated Ajoy Khandheria, a technology evangelist with more than 25 years of experience in building telecom, telematics, taxi aggregation and healthcare businesses, to start Gramin Health Care. The first healthcare centre was set up in Ghaziabad, UP, in April 2016.

Based out of Gurugram, NCR, the startup has a presence in six states— Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal, Haryana, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Bihar. “We have successfully ventured into the villages of India to provide consistent healthcare to the rural population at a cost they can afford, at a distance they can travel and with the dignity that they deserve,” says 57-year-old Khandheria. The medical services are availed via a health card which costs Rs 120 per year. “As wethe salary cap.

The video, published on Twitter, begins with a portion of President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address on Tuesday in which he expressed solidarity with the Venezuelan opposition against Maduro. It then proceeds to explain, through a timeline of actions by the Maduro regime, how the dictator systematically made it impossible for opposition parties to compete politically, noting, in particular, the use of violence to silence protesters.

“Nicolás Maduro is a master of violating the Venezuelan constitution,” the text on the screen reads. “His tactics are copied directly


from the innumerable authoritarian leaders before him.”

The video then shows images of, among others, Josef Stalin, Benito Mussolini, Saddam Hussein, and Muammar Qaddafi. Those images return at the end of the video, when the text declares, “we have seen this before.”

The video’s timeline begins in 2013, when Maduro took over for late dictator Hugo Chávez. It lists among the notable acts of Maduro’s tenure the imprisonment of dissident leader Leopoldo López for organizing peaceful protests in 2014, the failed attempt to replace the opposition-held National Assembly with a false legislature known as the “National Constituent Assembly” in 2015, the killing of dozens of protesters at the hands of soldiers deployed to torture and kill them since Maduro over, and his most recent rigged election, which resulted with hispresidential victory against no opposition candidates.

Nicolás Maduro is no longer the president of Venezuela. As of January 23, the president of the National Assembly, Juan Guaidó, is officially the nation’s interim president, designated with organizing free and fair elections to fully transition out of the Maduro era. President Trump was among the first world leaders to recognize Guaidó’s constitutionally mandated rule, now one among nearly fifty world leaders to do so.

During his State of the Union address Tuesday, Trump once again reiterated support for Guaidó.

“Two weeks ago, the United States officially recognized the legitimate government of Venezuela, and its new interim President, Juan Guaidó,” President Trump said. “We stand with the Venezuelan people in their noble quest for freedom — and we condemn the brutality of the Maduro


that America would send $20 million in humanitarian aid to Venezuela through the border with Colombia. That aid began arriving yesterday, but Maduro deployed troops to block the trucks full of food and medicine from entering the country.

Maduro claims the aid is a trap and that American soldiers will hide in the trucks and attack Venezuela if the trucks are allowed in, a claim for which he has provided no evidence. He has also denied the existence of a humanitarian crisis in Venezuela and, rather than provide aid for the Venezuelan people, recently sent a shipment of construction materials to Cuba for use in reconstructing much of central Havana, devastated by a rare tornado this month.

Shark bites in the Carolinas are by warm-water species like bull sharks, tiger sharks and blacktips (Carcharhinus limbatus). Each species is associated with particular habitats and dietary preferences.

Blacktips, which we suspect are responsible for most relatively minor bites on humans in the southeastern United States, feed on schooling bait fishes like menhaden. In contrast, bull sharks are equally at home in fresh water and salt water, and are often found near estuaries. Their bites are more severe than those of blacktips, as they are larger, more powerful, bolder and more tenacious. Several fatalities have been ascribedyou with us to Halong Bay.

Britain's technology sector is attracting record sums of foreign investment, despite fears that its looming withdrawal from the European Union could stifle growth in this sector over the coming years.

According to new research from industry body Tech Nation, the sector is on target to exceed $11 billion worth of investment by the end of 2019. Last year, UK tech firms raised $8.7 billion from investors.

It's estimated that the sector attracts $1 billion a month from both foreign and domestic investors, which is one and a half times higher than 2018 statistics. In a media announcement, Tech Nation described the UK as one of the "most attractive and dynamic markets in Europe".

New developments in areas such as artificial intelligence are fueling this growth. George Windsor, head of insights atsector comes down to the fact it is renowned for its innovations globally. He says: "Connected clusters, communities and businesses enable ideas and learning to be shared, this has played its part in the rapid scaleup growth we've seen over the last year."

UK tech companies are breaking new ground globally, claims Windsor. He explains: "The UK is behind only the US and China for total number of unicorns created. London ranks second to the Bay Area for the number of fintech unicorns, at 18. But there are unicorns across the country - in fact, UK tech has created more $1bn companies than any other European country and Israel."

Taking on the US

The UK isn't just giving European countries a run for their money in terms of technology. According to


Tech Nation, Britain has now overtaken the US for foreign investment per capita. Windsor says that ambitious UK tech companies are born global and that the connections they form reflect this international focus.

He says: "This means that companies in the UK must be open, and transparent, which has had many positive benefits for the ecosystem here. A culture of open data, and commonly owned information is reinforced by socially responsible tech innovations."

One area in which British tech companies are particularly triumphing is tech-for-social-good.

Windsor explains: "They were worth £2.3 billion in 2018, with a turnover of £732 million - larger than the amount generated by the manufacture of consumer electronics in the UK (£634 million). This unique characteristic of UK tech positions the country for a future where profitActivists settle in for another night

Halfway around the world, on Newfoundland's Avalon Peninsula, Sandy Pond lies about 100 kilometres west of St. John’s. Sandy Pond, a 38-hectare headwaterlake near the community of Long Harbour, is the centre of a controversy that is forcing people to pick between employment or the environment. The economically depressed region is hungry for jobs but the toxic legacy of the community's 40-year-old phosphorous plant has environmental concerns at the forefront of many people's minds. Sandy Pond is home to trout, rainbow smelt, and American eel, a species of conservation concern.

Vale Inco (formerly Inco, then CVRD Inco) is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Brazilian mining company Vale. Its nickel mining and metals division is headquartered in Toronto. The merger between CVRD and Inco in 2006 created the world’s second-largest nickel producer. Inco, a Canadian company, dates back to the early 1900s. Dark parts of Inco history include its provision of


Canadian-mined nickel to Hitler’s Germany and its dealings with brutal dictatorships in Indonesia and Guatemala. Vale Inco's failure to fulfill human rights requirements had it struck from the FTSE4GOOD index in 2006. The company has been criticized repeatedly for its pollution and its treatment of indigenous communities and workers. Residents of Port Colborne, Ontario, affected by the company’s nickel refinery, are currently suing the company in the largest environmental class action lawsuit in Canadian history.

Today, Vale Inco wants to dump about 400,000 tonnes of waste every year into Sandy Pond as part of a proposal to process Voisey’s Bay nickel at Long Harbour. In Kanaky-New Caledonia, the mining company wants to build a pipeline into the ocean to dispose of mine waste.

A 2002 Canadian government decision means thatRheebu Nuu Committee has been responded to with blockades and in one incident, to the alleged destruction of US$10 million worth of equipment. Sixteen members of the Rheebu Nuu group were arrested following this incident in April 2006. The court acquitted six of the accused and gave suspended fines to the remaining 10 in July 2006. Work at the site eventually resumed, with French military police acting as guards at key areas.

The Kanaks have requested that Vale Inco restore the areas it has destroyed by removing its installations and reforesting the area. According to the Rheebu Nuu Committee, critics have been detained by police for several hours and then released without charge. Youths have attacked security installations and vehicles of mine employees. The Rheebu Nuu Committee has also


reported that hooded police have been raiding people's homes in the middle of the night and taking people away for arbitrary detentions and beatings.

Indigenous groups have taken to confronting police guards on ocean waters to stop the waste pipe that Vale Inco is trying to lay in a hurry. The defiant actions of the indigenous groups and the growing opposition from the non-indigenous population are all thought to have played a role in the eventual signing of an agreement between the company and indigenous community representatives.

Jacques Boengkih of the indigenous organization Agence Kanak de Developpement Nouvelle-Caledonie reports that indigenous groups, including the Rheebu Nuu Committee and the Kanak traditional authorities, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Vale Inco regarding the Goro Nickel plant. The agreement recognizes thelegitimacy and rights of the indigenous people as declared in the UN Declaration on the Rights of the Indigenous Peoples, and lays out terms for inclusive sustainable development structures. The Kanaks are now waiting to see how the national and provincial government authorities respond to the agreement.

Activists in Canada are making the connection between Vale Inco's operations at home and abroad. "Pipelines of waste should not be laid into Sandy Pond, Long Harbour or into the lagoon in Kanaky-New Caledonia,” says Coumans, who works with communities fighting Vale Inco's mining operations in both Kanaky-New Caledonia and Newfoundland.

The fate of the pipeline into the Kanaky-New Caledonia lagoon is awaiting a decision by the Southern Province government. Sandy Pond is slated for destruction in 2009.

clearest of any headphone in my collection. Driven with a good headphone amp, I can hear the fundamental tone of bass notes with less harmonic distortion than I hear from my other headphones, even at 20 Hz. When the Mo-Fi is driven from an anemic headphone output (like on a mobile device), the harmonic distortion easily swamps the fundamental for low bass notes — until you turn on the headphone's built-in amp, and then, the harmonic distortion drops away.

The midrange sits back slightly from the bass, but it's there and represented with clarity. Harmonic distortion in the critical 300 Hz to 1 kHz regionwhich they concede began "constructively," turned out to be "a flashpoint for violence," the museum's statement said.

"The museum has abandoned us," LaBeouf tweeted soon after the announcement.

HEWILLNOTDIVIDEUS, as LaBeouf and his art partners, Ronko & Turner, called their digital art project, began Jan. 20, when Donald Trump was inaugurated as 45th president of the United States. People were invited, including personally by LaBeouf himself, to declare, “He will not divide us” into a camera mounted on a wall outside the museum, repeating the phrase as many times and for as long as they wished. The artists intended the project to last at least four years.

The project sparked conversations, for sure, but not all of them were convivial given these


divided times. LaBeouf was arrested and charged with misdemeanor assault after getting into an early-morning altercation with an unidentified 25-year-old man outside the museum on Jan. 25.

It's not clear what provoked the confrontation but police said LaBeouf pulled a scarf off the man, scratching his face, although the victim did not seek medical attention. LaBeouf was released a few hours later.

The museum said it was proud to have launched this "engaging and thought-provoking" art installation, which it claimed was seen by millions of online viewers worldwide. But the museum had to put prudence and safety first.

"Until public safety concerns overrode the intent of the installation, HEWILLNOTDIVIDEUS generated an important conversation allowing interaction among people from many backgrounds and withdifferent viewpoints," the statement said.

The museum, which opened in 1988 in the former Astoria Studios structure, is focused on appreciation of the art, history, technique and technology of film, television and digital media.

Resign already

Marty Griffin of KDKA Radio is talking about candidates who should resign from office befor hitting the campaign trails. Tim Potts, a citizen advocate, got interviewed. His organization asked all six present candidate for PA Governor to resign for the rest of the election season.

Tim said on the air that there are six states that require candidates to resign before seeking other offices. Marty said he didn't know of any of those instances.

I agree that candidates need to not be standing office holders. They cheat. And, I have first hand insights and experiences of these problems.

Our Allegheny County Charter (its the Constitution of the County) was recently crafted when we went from the three commissioners to the County Executive and part-time county council. Thisprovision was put into the County Charter to prevent these conflicts of interest.

The county charter says members of the County Council must RESIGN from their seat as soon as they are a candidate.

It doesn't happen, generally. Some do it and I have given them props for doing so in the past. But, they stretch their time on council as long as possible -- breaking the law.

Wayne Fontana, now a PA state senator, D, from the city's south neighborhood, was former member of Allegheny County Council. He didn't resign. Only one Post Gazette editiorial spoke against this and he still got the PG endorsement. Go figure. This was in 2007.

Later, in 2008, in the time of Bonusgate, Wayne Fontana would use his senate office to produce papers to challenge

I wanted to visit the scene of the crime and see what was still part of the public record, and what was not.

When I was there in 2008, the court was in the Irvis office building. They've moved into a new building in 2009. Nice space. The lobby floor has a huge state seal, see above photo.

She developed her talent as a member of the Croydon Art Society. Her flower fairy paintings were driven by the Victorian popularity of fairy stories.

Like the Pre-Raphaelite painters whom she so much admired. She believed in recreating the beauty of nature in art and drawing from life. Her plants and flowers were observed with complete botanical accuracy. In the fairies themselves, she captured perfectly the unselfconscious grace of children.

Her earliest professional work included greeting cards and juvenile magazine illustrations. Her first book Flower Fairies of the Spring

Almond Blossom

Almond Blossom is a wonderful sight in her dress crafted from beautiful pink petals. When the other fairies see her dancing and gliding through the branches they know it's almost Springtime! Happy and fun-loving, Almond Blossom is everyone's friend.

Lavender

Lavender loves to sing and play. One of her favorite things to do is twirl around and around a lavender stem until she feels quite dizzy! She is friends with the white butterflies that flutter around her flowers. They often play games of chase, darting back and forth amongst her sweetly scented fronds. She provides her scented flowersto the other fairies to make their clothes smell delicious.

Rose

Sweet Rose is the gentlest of the summer Flower Fairies. A kind fairy, she likes nothing more than tiptoeing around her flowers and tending to them in the warm sunshine. She is a very good friend to the honey bees. Often seen guiding them to her fullest blooms and standing protectively beside them as they collect pollen.

Zinnia

Zinnia's flowers are some of the brightest in the garden. With their blooms ranging from pale pink to dramatic orange! Her tortoiseshell wings Zinnia is a colourful sight as she flutters around the flower bed. Tending to her blooms and collecting petals to make pretty costumes.

Buttercup

Outgoing and friendly. Buttercup likes nothing better than to skip through the summer meadows. Visiting friends and singing


to herself in the sunshine. She fills the fields with her yellow flowers, which she polishes until they shine like gold. Giving pleasure to all her fairy friends and human children too.

The best times of the day to see a fairy are at twilight, midnight, just before sunrise, and midday. The best time of the year to see a fairy is on Midsummer's Eve.

In Mr. Mateen's neighborhood and at his mosque, there is growing anger at the lack of progress of the investigation.

Black Muslim leaders, angry at the slow pace of the investigation, say they believe the owners and employees of the market have been lying to investigators to protect a friend.

''The only reason the murderer has not been caught is these people are withholding information,'' said Adib Rashid, the assistant imam at the Masjid Abdul-Muhsi Khalifah on Madison Street, where Mr. Mateen worshiped.

At least two mosques have started a letter-writing campaign to Mayor David N. Dinkins and District Attorney Charles J. Hynes of Brooklyn. Mosque officials and the victim's widow have airedtheir complaints on WLIB, a radio station that serves the black community. They have also met with top police officials, and plan to march through the Brooklyn Terminal Market this morning in protest.

Mr. Mateen's associates in the Islamic community suggest that racism may have played a role in the killing. The suspect is white. But Police Inspector Edward Cappello said: ''It was not a bias crime because at no time did race come into it. We have no evidence of it.''

Mr. Mateen, who was 43 years old and lived in a high-rise apartment building at 303 Vernon Avenue, was shot once in the chest at close range with a .22-caliber revolver as he argued with an employee at Tony's Good Deal, a fruit and vegetable store in the

Killed as Wife Slept

The police said they were searching for an unidentified woman who is believed to have seen the shooting and then disappeared among the rows of vegetables, flowers and gardening equipment.

Mr. Mateen's wife of 25 years, Waheedah Abdul, said she and her husband frequently shopped at the open-air market because they preferred to buy vegetables in large quantities. On May 25, her husband parked their car on Foster Avenue and went into the market alone.

A few minutes later, Mrs. Mateen said, her husband returned with a watermelon and put it on the floor of the front seat. ''He said he was going back to get the oranges,'' Mrs. Mateen said. ''I fell asleep. The next thing I know there were police all over thecar saying open up. I have never seen my husband alive again.''

Mr. Fraggetta, the owner of the store, said yesterday that he was carrying goods back and forth through a doorway several yards from where the shooting occurred but did not see Mr. Mateen or hear an argument. He said he suffers from glaucoma and has blurred vision.

'It's Unbelievable'

While he was inside the building, Mr. Fraggetta said, he heard what sounded like firecrackers, and then heard Mr. Falsone screaming for help.

Mr. Fraggetta said the market was crowded. ''All these people and nobody saw anything,'' he said. ''It's unbelievable.''

Mr. Fraggetta said he did not see Mr. Mateen, who the police said staggered across a road to another building in the market and collapsed in front of D. W. Produce.

It is also different from rather simple hack tools and malware used by the hacktivists," "By excluding cybercriminals and hacktivists, we come to conclusion that it most likely belongs to the third group. In addition, the geography of the targets (certain states are in the Middle East) and also the complexity of the threat leaves no doubt about it being a nation state that sponsored the research that went into it."

RBA not driving bank rates - Clyne

The Reserve Bank of Australia's cash rate settings are not the main driver of banks' mortgage rates, National Australia Bank's chief executive, Cameron Clyne has told a Senate inquiry.

Mr Clyne told the Senate inquiry into banking competition that banks had got themselves into trouble with the public and politicians by previously moving in line with the RBA's rate moves when it wasn't necessarily the best thing to do.

The RBA's cash rate plays some role in banks' funding costs, but there are longer term influences that also play a role and have lead to recent moves of mortgage rates above the cash rate, Mr Clyne said.

Obama vows rebuilt infrastructure

US President-elect Barack Obama has promised to invest in infrastructure on a scale not seen since the 1950s, when the US highway system was established.

He used his weekly address to outline that the spending would be part of his plan to create at least 2.5m new jobs in the ailing US economy.

He also spoke of the need for expanded access to high-speed internet and the modernisation of school buildings.

Unemployment rose by more than 500,000 during November, figures have shown.

That was the biggest monthly rise in job cuts since 1974, and it drove up the jobless rate to a 15-year high of 6.7%, up from 6.5% in October.

The figures came less than a week after the National Bureau for Economic Research said the US economy had360 the lead in console sales in the US during January, but in grim conditions. At 270,000 systems in the month, it had enough to outpace the Nintendo Wii and Sony PS3, whose sales researchers were keeping secret.

so it is common throughout the world to feed liquids to babies in nursing bottles, also known as baby bottles. A nursing bottle features a rubber nipple with a small hole in its tip secured across an opening in the top of a liquid container. A nursing bottle is used by filling the container with liquid, securing the nipple, inverting the bottle, and placing the nipple into the baby's mouth. The baby then sucks on the nipple to withdraw the liquid. Unfortunately, the use of a nursing bottle can cause tooth decay, also known as dental caries, due to the effect of “pooling” when the liquid stays in contact with the back of a baby's lower front teeth for extended periods such as when the baby falls asleepLetter and the 27 September 1988 Letter for months before he left for sea and the Exxon Wilmington ran aground on 7 April 1989.

Exxon, confronted with extensive destruction of the environment and the bill for billions of dollars in clean-up costs from the Exxon Valdez incident, wished to avoid other such incidents. The decision of the Arbitration Board to reinstate Foster unjustly favors the re-employment of one individual not only at the expense of Exxon's coffers and its ability to protect itself from liability, but at the expense

Foster was not a desk-bound employee; as mentioned, he had significant responsibilities for the operation of a large, ocean-going oil tanker. Public policy considerations must place public safety and welfare above considerations of individuals such as Foster in this instance.

Janvrin said the changeTOKYO (AFP) - The news that a young reporter at Japan's public broadcaster had worked herself to death came as little surprise to those inside the country's media, where a culture of excessively long hours has become the norm.

"I thought it would happen eventually because we work like crazy... like a slave," said a journalist at one of Japan's major newspapers.

"I really thought I would die," she told AFP on condition of anonymity, recalling her days chasing after the prime minister and lawmakers in Tokyo, when she would routinely come home from work at 1.00 am and wake up four hours later.

While journalists tend to work long hours in many countries, the situation in Japan is among the most extreme, with reporters expected to be on the job


24-7.

The newspaper journalist - now in her 30s - was one of a gang of hardcore Japanese reporters who stake out the houses of politicians they were assigned to follow every single night whether there is news or not - a ritual called "Yomawari," meaning "night round".

Even on a snowy night, she used to wait hours outside the house of a politician she was covering.

"I had disposable hand warmers everywhere on my body but it was still too cold. I couldn't go to the bathroom. It's bad for your health," she said, adding that she's seen fellow journalists becoming physically and mentally ill.

And forget the weekend, she added, as political reporters chase lawmakers back to their constituencies on Friday night.

Every year in Japan, long working hours are blamed for dozens of deaths due to strokes, heart attacks and suicides.

Death from overwork even has its own word in Japanese - "karoshi".

According to a government report released last week, there were 191 "karoshi" cases in the year ending March 2017.

The report also showed that 7.7 per cent of employees in Japan regularly log more than 20 hours of overtime a week.

NHK journalist Sado, who had been covering Tokyo assembly elections and an upper-house vote for the national parliament, was found dead in her bed in July 2013, reportedly clutching her mobile phone.

She died three days after the upper-house election.

A government inquest a year after her death ruled that it was linked to excessive


overtime. She had taken two days off in the month before she died.

NHK eventually made the case public four years later, bowing to pressure from Sado's parents to take action to prevent a recurrence.

It was especially embarrassing for NHK, which has itself taken aim at Japan's long-hours culture.

"I was shocked that someone at NHK, which has been campaigning against Japan's long working culture, died from overwork," said Shigeru Wakita, emeritus professor at Ryukoku University and an expert on labour law.

"Mass media should be able to change the habit of long working hours but they just don't," he told AFP.

NHK boss Ryoichi Ueda went to the house of Sado's parents to deliver a personal apology and vowed reform of the broadcaster's working practices.

Filipinos didn’t lead the pack, despite the 2007 finding that nearly 20 percent of the population would take the next plane for another country — any country — if they could, and Philippine airports’ being choked daily with the 6,000 people who’re either leaving for jobs abroad or permanently relocating elsewhere. Ahead of everyone else was the population of sub-Saharan Africa, of which 38 percent was most anxious to pack up and go.

Sub-Saharan Africa is a vast region south of the Sahara desert which includes practically every country (50) in the continent except the six countries that comprise North Africa (Algeria, Egypt, Libya, Morocco, Tunisia, Western Sahara).

With a total population of around 650 million (or some ten percent of the world’s total), the region includes some of thepoorest — and most volatile and conflict-ridden — countries in the world, including such headline grabbers as Somalia and the Congo.

Sixty percent of all people with HIV — the virus that causes AIDS — are from the region, with an estimated 22 million men and women infected out of the global total of 32.9 million. Seventy five percent of all deaths from AIDS worldwide occurred in the region in 2007.

With poverty, AIDS, ethnic cleansing, and such other woes as piracy and the proliferation of armed groups of various stripes as part of daily life in many countries of the region, it’s a wonder that the number of those who want to leave isn’t higher.

In contrast to Sub-Saharan Africans, Asians wanted least to leave, with only one in ten


of those polled saying they would, despite the number of Sri Lankans, Pakistanis, Indians. Bangladeshis, Indonesians, Filipinos, etc. who’ve left their countries to drive cabs in New York or to scrub toilets in London.

As a sub-group, Filipinos are among the most likely Asians to leave. Some go as mail order brides who end up sitting out winters in the US mid-West, others as truck drivers and construction workers braving improvised explosive devices and suicide bombers in Afghanistan. Large numbers of professionals, especially the doctors and nurses of which the Philippines has a shortage, also leave each month for jobs in other countries. While others leave as immigrants, the most preferred country being the United States, where there were 600,000 documented Filipinos in 2008, practically everyone who leaves forhe's not just a product of quarterback Peyton Manning, and will be a huge addition to the Jets' offense. Decker will also help those around him elevate their game to finally bring a solid aerial attack to the Jets.

Quarterback Michael Vick was brought in mainly to help groom Geno Smith towards being a better and more consistent athlete for his position. So far, Vick has done very


well in coaching and training Smith to not be the turnover machine he was last season. Expect to see Smith have a much better sophomore season mainly due to Vick always being there to help him improve.

Don't expect to see the Jets win many games against top quarterbacks this year. However, you can expect them to sweep the best team of the AFC East in the New England Patriots. The Jets shocked the Patriots last season with an overtime victory and almost had them in their second game, but lost by a field goal. The Jets will run hard against the Patriots, and will shock many this season by beating Tom Brady and company not once, but twice!In utero exposure to background levels of polychlorinated biphenyls and cognitive functioning among school-age children.
Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are ubiquitous environmental contaminants. In utero exposure to background levels of PCBs has been associated with intellectual impairment among children in most, but not all, studies. The authors evaluated prenatal PCB exposure in relation to cognitive test (intelligence quotient (IQ)) scores on the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children at age 7 years. Pregnant women were recruited from 12 US study centers from 1959 to 1965, and their children were followed until age 7 years (the Collaborative Perinatal Project). Third trimester serum was analyzed for PCBs in 1997-1999 for 732 women selected at random and for an additional 162 women whose children had either a low or a high IQ score. The

Lakhonin said all terrorist groups around the world are using similar techniques to target people, and Russia “knows them well.”

“Our county was targeted by such attacks on multiple occasions,” he said.

Lakhonin added that both the Russian and the U.S. governments need to cooperate with each other to ensure the safety of their citizens. Lakhonin also stated that the cooperation among both countries will also include resuming counter-terrorism activities for the special services.

a lawful U.S. resident who arrived from Bangladesh in 2011 on a family immigrant visa.

According to CNN, it was a lone wolf attack by the suspect, who acted in response to the action of Israeli forces in Gaza. The suspect has also pledged allegiance to ISIS. A source close to the investigation told CNN that the suspect had a minimum of two devices, including a foot-long pipe containing black powder, nails, screws, wires, and a battery at the time of the explosion. The blast was done with the pipe device. Fortunately, the impact of the explosion was lessened as the pipe failed to explode, thus making it a partial blast.

The CNN report also claimed that Ullah made the bomb last week at his Brooklyn apartment.

U.S. authorities are currentlymost.

Why would the U.S. repeat this folly, despite warnings from the International Monetary Fund and Federal Reserve officials? Every calamity has many authors – Obama's premature turn to deficit reduction in 2009, the Tea Party zealots, a hapless and clueless Republican congressional leadership and more.

Pete Peterson's Mighty Wurlitzer

One major contribution comes from the money and monomania of Pete Peterson, a Wall Street billionaire who has committed about half a billion bucks rousing hysteria about deficits and debt. Today, The Nation magazine and the Center for Media and Democracy are releasing an expose of Peterson and his latest front, the Fix the Debt coalition, with a new resource detailing the background at the center's SourceWatch.org.

Peterson, Nixon's former Secretary of Commerce, says that he "has been wailing about this (debt


and deficits) since 1980."

Peterson made his billions on Wall Street, taking the private equity firm Blackstone Group public, after benefiting from the obscene "carried interest tax deduction" that allows hedge fund billionaires to pay lower tax rates than their chauffeurs. (His former partner, Stephen Schwartzman, famously labeled the effort to end this obscenity as a war, the equivalent of "when Hitler invaded Poland.")

Peterson has three relentless harangues. First that the pillars of family security – Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security – pose a "catastrophic threat" to the country must be cut deeply. Peterson scorns Social Security and Medicare as providing "a publicly subsidized vacation" for "the last third or more of one's adult life."

Second, Peterson wants to move from income and corporate taxes to far more regressive consumptiontaxes. If he could, he'd eliminate corporate and income taxes and replace them with sales and gas and sin taxes, with adjustments to "protect the poor." At a time of extreme Gilded Age inequality, this is a recipe for hiking taxes on the middle class while lowering them on the rich.

Finally, Peterson has been warning that deficits and debt would cause a "Pearl Harbor moment" for years. Ironically, he never raised a murmur about the housing bubble or the Wall Street wilding or the global trade imbalances that eventually blew up the economy, led to the Great Recession. (He got his money out early.) Nor did the fact that the collapse came when the deficit was less than 2 percent of gross domestic product and the debt to


GDP ratio was falling cause any change in his views. Instead, he has sought to use the crisis to force through his utterly unpopular views.

Peterson has thus far committed about $500 million of his fortune to the campaign on deficits, paying for a mighty Wurlitzer of propaganda.

He has funded ersatz national "town meetings," sprinkled think tanks right, center and left with grants, sponsored national conferences and events. He's seeded what the National Journal calls "a loose network of deficit hawk organizations that seem independent but that all spout the Peterson-sanction messages" on deficits – including the Concord Coalition, the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, America Speaks, and Comeback America.

He launched his own news service – The Fiscal Times – feeding articles to increasingly cash-strapped newspapers. He purchasedboth ad campaigns and the tendentious "I.O.U.S.A" documentary that received national screening. He sponsored bipartisan commissions to develop debt reduction plans, including partnering with and helping to staff and promote the President's "bipartisan commission," known for the co-chairs, Alan Simpson and Erskine Bowles.

The Drumbeat $500 Million Can Buy

Bowles and Simpson serve as co-chairs and co-founders of Peterson's latest front, the Fix the Debt Coalition, which rounded up 127 CEOs and a $60 million budget, retaining at least four major public relation firms, to drive the campaign for a "grand bargain."

Despite the consultants, "Fix" has exhibited a hilariously tin ear. They trotted out Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein to lecture Americans on "lowering their expectations" and accepting less in Social Security and Medicare. Who better to argue for "shared

Earlier this fall, the Washington State Department of Ecology and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers began an environmental review process to study the potential effects of the dam. The first draft environmental impact statement is expected to be produced in early 2020.

Much of the attention locally has been focused on the flooding issue, and the Chehalis Basin Board is stocked with familiar names who have long been locally involved in that area. Lewis County commissioner Edna Fund is one of the dam project’s backers as a supervisor of the Chehalis Basin Flood Control Zone District that is sponsoring the proposal. Vickie Raines, a Grayseye.  He advanced the following theories in support of his claim: (1) negligence of the defendant in designing, manufacturing, and distributing a champagne bottle which would spontaneously and unexpectedly eject its stopper and the stopper's restraining wire, and in failing to warn thereof; (2) breach by the defendant of the warranties of merchantability and of the fitness of its product for its intended use; (3) breach by the defendant of its duty in strict liability.  In directing its verdict at the close of the plaintiff's evidence, the trial court made clear, as the basis for its ruling, that Heublein owed plaintiff no duty to protect against the risk of the stopper's being ejected and causing injuries to the plaintiff and that the defendant's product was not

Mawod began to open a bottle, first removing the foil wrapping on the bottle's top and then attempting to remove the restraining wire.  He quickly became impatient with the wire and asked the plaintiff for assistance.  The plaintiff said 'you turn that' and reached to twist the wire himself.  Mr. Mawod continued to hold the bottle but looked away from the plaintiff.  He then heard a pop and saw the plaintiff on the floor.  The polyethylene stopper had ejected from the bottle and, together with the loosened restraining wire, had struck plaintiff in the right eye.  Only about fifteen seconds had elapsed sinceDozens of DAPL protesters were arrested after police raided and cleared the Oceti Sakowin camp near the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation in North Dakota. Some activists refused to leave peacefully and set fire to their makeshift housing.

The Oceti Sakowin camp was completely emptied shortly after 2:00pm local time (8:00pm GMT), the Morton County Sheriff's Department said, as cited by Reuters.

About 50 police in riot gear, aided by members of the National Guard and the Army Corps of Engineers, entered the site.

At least 47 people were arrested, department spokeswoman Maxine Herr said.

On Thursday, military vehicles, bulldozers, and police in riot gear moved into the camp to clear out the remaining protesters against the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL).

Crossovers have been the subject of fan fiction for many years. However, when a crossover is made official it creates excitement on a whole other level for fans.

Starting in May, IDW Publishing will officially print a comic series that will bring twoof the biggest science fiction franchises together; Doctor Who and Star Trek. More specifically, they will be using Star Trek: The Next Generation. The series will feature the Doctor, Rory, Amy, Captain Picard, Worf, Data, Geordie LaForge, Deanna Troy, Will Riker and the rest of the Star Trek team. The image seen right featuring the Doctor, Rory, & Amy from Doctor Who will be used as one cover in the series.

The shooting for Series 7 is due to start on the 20th February, with rehersals starting this Monday on the 13th.

Writers so far include Steven Moffat, Mark Gattis & John Fay the latter was part resposible for Torchwood Children of Earth. To them Gareth Robberts and Chris "42" Chibnell have also been added, Chris's episode being looked at,

was a special election for the 34th congressional district and the leading candidate, Arturo Carmona was accused of misogyny by Masha Mendieta. He was a former Latino Outreach Strategist for the Bernie Sanders for President 2016 campaign and the district was ultimately won by an establishment Democrat, Jimmy Gomez. That being said, the story was primarily pushed by progressives and supporters of the Green Party candidate, Kenneth Mejia. The scandal mattered to me a lot because Carmona was the first candidate for which I had ever donated.

I read the allegations closely and watched the live stream interview of Mendieta with Nomiki Konst. What I found was that the claims appeared flimsy and that it was far more likely to be a hit piece. At best, he appeared towere afraid to speak out. Ultimately, I closed that Twitter account and started a new account.

One of the people who reached out to me during that time was a man by the name of Trevor Fitzgibbon. He was the former PR executive whose clients included the Julian Assange Legal Defense Fund, PR support for Edward Snowden, Glenn Greenwald, the government of Venezuela, and Chelsea Manning, among other high profile clients.

When he was representing Manning, he would visit the Marine Corps Brig in Quantico, VA with Jane Hamsher of Firedoglake and one of Manning’s friends, David House, to document the inhumane conditions of where she was being held and lack of due process (Manning was forced to strip naked at night and held in quasi-solitary confinement). In 2014, after


visiting Manning at Ft. Leavenworth Military Prison, he set up an official Twitter account for her, which was one of, if not the only time a whistleblower as high-profile as Manning was Tweeting. He also was starting to gain significant mainstream traction for Assange, placing him on Sunday shows such as “Meet the Press” and “This Week with George Stephanopoulos.”

In 2011, a document released by Anonymous exposed a step-by-step guide to combat the “WikiLeaks Threat,” written by the mega-firm and Intelligence Community contractor, Palantir. The blueprint showed that not only was Wikileaks a target of disinformation campaigns, but also its employees, consultants, and supportive journalists. Once the information was leaked to the public, the company apologized. However, as recently as January 2018, Palantir was said to be targetingtruth that exposes corruption is not up for debate in this article. Every company has employees and / or consultants / contractors. Working with or for an organization or company does not mean you have access to information at the top of the organization. This article focuses purely on the smear campaign waged against Trevor, which was more than likely because of his client list.

Last month, I had the unique opportunity to stay with Trevor and a friend of his while I was travelling with Undercovered Magazine Editor and Contributor, Don Ford. Don was in the middle of a ten-week road trip visiting activists, organizers, and candidates throughout the country to build relationships, strengthen the progressive movement, learn about local issues, and share strategy. I joined him for
