University student Chris Kalbaugh as he was stopped at a Tennessee Highway Patrol DUI checkpoint, showed Ross in a verbal altercation with Kalbaugh. The video posted July 4 went viral after it was posted by libertarianrepublic.com. The junior accuses Ross of violating his constitutional rights during a checkpoint stop.

The video, Sheriff Robert Arnold said Thursday, left out Ross' discovery of marijuana shakings in Kalbaugh's door handle and two marijuana seeds in his backseat.

The Rutherford County Sheriff's Department released a full dash-cam video of the incident.

"So far we have found that A.J. (Ross) has done no wrongdoing," said Arnold.

In the video, Ross asks Kalbaugh to roll down his window farther, and Kalbaugh refuses, saying it's fine where it is. When Kalbaugh continues to challenge Ross' demands, Ross orders himto Deputy Ross, when he found the camera, he picked it up and he points it right there and says, "This is why the dog alerted on your car, these are marijuana grainlets."

Years ago, Arnold said, he was active in the local Libertarian party and said he finds the backlash "ironic."

At the suggestion of a staff member of the Missouri Church, the reporters did interview Emily Watson, who was connected with a national Scientology office located in California, while she was visiting in St. Louis.  No reference to the California Church or any of its individual members was made in the articles.

Two months after the articles were published, the California Church filed this action in a California superior court.  Notwithstanding the lack of any reference to the California Church in the articles, the complaint attempted to establish that they pertained to the appellant.  We summarize the complaint's allegations ofwhatsoever to California readers, but California companies do advertise in the paper to reach markets in Missouri and elsewhere.  It is agreed that 2.91% Of the newspaper's general advertising revenue is from this source.  In addition, Pulitzer owns approximately 17% Of Million Market Newspapers, Inc., an advertising firm licensed to do business in California, which solicits advertising for Pulitzer and other newspaper publishers by providing potential advertisers with information about the newspapers and their market areas.

The action was brought by Wyoming residents who were specifically named in the allegedly libelous article, entitled "U. S. Tries to Close Up 'Wide Open' Wyoming," which carried a Wyoming dateline.  Also of substantial significance in the court's analysis was that the article had been written by three reporters dispatched to Wyoming.

In the present appeal, California events were not the topic of the allegedly actionable writings, nor were California readers a principal or secondary target of the articles.

The school house is a miserable little wooden building, not large enough for two-thirds of the scholars attending. It appears to be intended to accommodate only the small boys up to their first Communion, thus degrading the school and the teachers in the estimation for the parents. As soon as a boy is commencing to understand the various branches taught, he goes to


the public schools, thus depriving the Brothers of the fruit of their labors and the reputations as teachers. In this way, they simply keep a school in preparation for the public schools, and the good they have done is soon blotted out. The pastor, I understand, has promised to build a new and spacious school house if the Brothers are allowed to return. But he appears to think as little this year of building as he did three years ago. He has a large and rich Congregation, and is nearly , if not quite, out of debt. He appears to have no energy and very little zeal for the honor and welfare of the school. Notre Dame, in my opinion, encourages him to continue in his negligence bysending Brothers there before he has a school house fit to accommodate all the boys of the parish. There are many places without Brothers where the pastors are able and willing to do everything necessary to make their labors effective.... I would advise therefore the withdrawal of the Brothers from Springfield for the above reasons.

"The Bishop was not at home when I went to Alton, but I told the Vicar General what I have written above. He acknowledged that I was right, and said that the Bishop had often urged Father Brady to build a school house. I asked him to repeat to the Bishop what I had said. Afterward I learned from Brother Gregory that Father Brady promised to build a school house, and it was on


the strength of that promise that the Brothers returned."

Brother lodges in the priest's house, but boards in the city...the same inconvenience as at Alton. With a suitable school three Brothers could be employed as teachers, for 300 boys could attend the school. A cook, a Brother, could live with them. I found here a set of boys quite different from those of Alton -- clean, well ordered, some ofthem very smart and well advanced. Their parents generally are in easy circumstances. The Brother has no trouble in collecting his dues."

Brother Gabriel was then quite young, and assisted Brother Benjamin. Now, the latter is at the Cathedral schools: Alton;while Brother Gabriel is superior of the Immaculate Conception schools of this city.

Congratulations go to David McGoldrick who is the runaway winner of the Coventry City London Supporters Club September ‘Player of the Month’.

McGoldrick was September’s clear winner polling 118 votes, followed into second place by Carl Baker. McGoldrick was cup tied and missed the Arsenal match so his lead may have been even higher. This did allow Baker, who was the fans Man of the Match at Arsenal, to catch up some ground.

Last month’s winner Adam Barton had a particularly poor September only picking up 5 votes all month to relinquish his overall lead.See http://www.cclsc.co.uk for regular updates and the latestPlayer of the Year voting table.


the albert hall of art so you would expect it to display 'high-art' whilst Starbucks is the Shepherds Bush Empire.

Admittedly abstract art reaches a popular audience more frequently than abstract music does although really it is a handful of artists in each. Steve Reich, Philip Glass, John Cage, Penderecki, Arvo Part, Stockhausen have all had a degree of commercial success over the last 60 years. For both art and music it is typically a couple of pieces from an artist's cannon that achieve commercial success whereas for (very) popular classical music it can be a much larger amount that seeps into public consciousness.

A lot of it is context too. Watch a horror film and abstract music is fully accepted and even expected.

So is abstract more accepted in artbelieves it is incumbent to prepare people for the various implications which will arise with the possible arrival of these beings.

As the legal counsel on such nationally-recognized investigative cases involving government covert operations as the Karen Silkwood case, the Iran/Contra case, the Pentagon Papers case, the Watergate Burglary case, and the American Sanctuary Movement case, Daniel brings to the issue of Extraterrestrial Intelligence and the UFO Phenomenon a unique background in investigating and exposing the world of American governmental covert operations, “black budget” operations, mind control programs, government disinformation projects, covert warfare and clandestine operations.

astronomer Guy Consolmagno recently spoke at Winona State University in Minnesota about science, religion, and how the two work together. Consolmagno told the local ABC affiliate, ABC 6 News, that he travels “around the United States, basically getting people to appreciate what science can be in their spiritual life and to appreciate how religion can inform without controlling the way that they do science.”

Consolmagno has been quite outspoken regarding science and religion. In a 2010 interview, he told The Guardian, “Any entity – no matter how many tentacles it has – has a soul.” He made headlines because of this interview by The Guardian, in which he said he would offer to baptize an extraterrestrial being if one requested.

On Monday, Consolmagno’s presentation focused on whether or not Plutotaking place in Rome and that strange objects were also recorded on camera several times. The most important one is the footage of an odd luminous formation taken by three security guards stationed in front of the residence of the U.S. ambassador to the Vatican (Holy See). These were qualified witnesses since they are artillerymen, trained experts in air surveillance.

It was at 4 am in the night of June 7th when three men belonging to the 17° antiaircraft Regiment at the “Santa Barbara” station in Sabaudia (Latina province), spotted three spherical bright objects hovering in the sky above St. Peter’s dome in the Vatican, right in the center of Rome. They promptly filmed the unexpected nocturnal air show with a cell phone.

he was once about as unknown as a celebrated actor can be. Or as he introduced himself while hosting "Saturday Night Live" last year, "You probably know me as 'that guy from that movie,' you know, not the main guy, but the other guy."

Clockwise from top left: Sam Rockwell in "The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford," "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy," "Confessions of a Dangerous Mind," "Vice," "Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri," and "Moon." Warner Brothers, Touchstone Pictures, Miramax, Annapurna Pictures, Fox Searchlight, Sony Pictures Classics

But last year, Rockwell took home an Oscar for his role as a racist cop in the movie "Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri."

This year he was nominated again for his portrayal of President George W. Bush in "Vice."

Andnow, at 50, he's reminding audiences that he's always had the moves for center stage. In a new FX series, "Fosse/Verdon," Rockwell plays Bob Fosse, a dancer and choreographer turned director, famed for movies like "Cabaret" and "All That Jazz."

Dokoupil asked, "What was it that drew you to him?"

"I guess the charisma," he replied. "There's a kinda 'cool guy thing' about him. He was a genius, and yet he was also really messed up."

"There's also a haunted quality."

"Very haunted, yeah. I guess I'm attracted to characters like that."

It helps that Rockwell is also a dancer, sort of. "I just messed around," he said. "You know, I watched 'Risky Business,' I think that's how I learned how to do


the splits. I watched 'Footloose.' I fancied myself a young Kevin Bacon probably!"

Rockwell grew up the only child of divorced parents. He shuttled between San Francisco, where his father was a labor organizer, and New York, where his mom was a struggling actor. From a young age he was exposed to the actor's lifestyle: "Well, you're backstage with people. It's a vaudeville existence, I guess you could say."

"What does that do to a kid?" Dokoupil asked.

"It's good and bad. I think it makes you wiser, and it also makes you a little strange. Wwhen you go back to the normal sort of middle-class life or working-class life when you're at school with kids who are having sort of a normal existence, you relate to them a little differently."

Hisfirst role was a 10-year-old Humphrey Bogart in a "Casablanca" sketch with his mother. "It was thrilling," he said. "I got the bug, like, right away."

And he dreamed big. "Like any other young actor you go through phases. I went through a Robert De Niro phase. And you wanna be Chris Walken, you wanna be Gene Hackman."

But as he grew into being Sam Rockwell, other actors started to notice. George Clooney once reportedly threw a golf club into a wall to get him into "Confessions of a Dangerous Mind." ("I think that's true!" Rockwell said.) And Brad Pitt showed up unannounced at Rockwell's house to recruit him for a role.

The secret may be that he has always anchored his roles in research. To play

It's no yellow jersey, but President Bush on Saturday presented Lance Armstrong with another shirt to show off his biking experiences — a red, white and blue T-shirt emblazoned "Tour de Crawford."

The leader of the free world and the world's biking master rode for 17 miles on Bush's ranch for about two hours at midmorning. Bush showed Armstrong the sites of the ranch that he calls "a little slice of heaven," including a stop at a waterfall midway through the ride.

CBS's Jef Goldman reports that during the stop, the two talked aboutthe recent excessive rainfall in Crawford.

They were accompanied by a small group of staff and Secret Service agents and a film crew from the Discovery Channel, Armstrong's Tour de France sponsor,


which had exclusive media access for the ride. Footage was shot for a program on Armstrong to air this week.

Neither Bush nor Armstrong spoke to reporters, although White House spokesman Trent Duffy said the president was impressed with the seven-time champ's skills.

"Recognizing what the world has known for years, the president said, 'He's a good rider,'" Duffy said.

The president has taken up biking with a fervor since a bad knee forced him to give up his running routine a few years ago. He's been spending a lot of time riding while staying in Texas this month. It was Armstrong's first ride at the presidential ranch, which is about 100 miles north of Armstrong's adopted hometown of Austin.

Duffy wouldn't say whether they talked politics, a topic that Armstrong hassaid he is getting more interested in now that he's retiring from biking and turns 34 next month. Armstrong calls Bush a friend, but he has spoken out against the war in Iraq and has said he wants the government to spend more money on cancer research.

At the end of the ride, Bush gave Armstrong and the rest of the riders the T-shirts, which said "Tour de Crawford" on the front in Western-style rope script and "Peloton One" — a reference to the densely packed group of riders in a race — on the back. Bush also gave them red, white and blue riding socks with the presidential seal on the inner ankle.

After the presentation, Duffy said, they posed for pictures and the president announced, "OK, let's go

FC Juárez vs Monarcas Morelia – Jornada 3 Recap & Highlights

FC Juárez earned a comfortable 3-0 victory against Monarcas Morelia to close out Jornada 3. The result gives the Bravos their first win of the season and keeps them unbeaten at home, while the michoacanos are still winless in the Clausura 2020.

FC Juárez came out attacking as they looked to put their home-field advantage to good use, and their persistence paid off in the 26th minute. Jefferson Intriago sent a long free kick into the box, and Flavio Santos headed it past Sebastián Sosa to make it 1-0 for the hosts.

The Bravos pressed in search of an insurance goal, and they created several good chances, but they all went begging. Morelia never lookedlikely to find an equalizer, though, and in the second half the game went off the rails for the visitors.

Just minutes after the restart, Juárez won a penalty kick. Darío Lezcano stepped up to take it, and he fooled Sosa with a stutter-step to make it 2-0 in the 52nd minute. The goal was reviewed by VAR for possible encroachment, but in the end it stood.

Then, in the 61st minute, VAR review led to another penalty for the hosts. This time Diego Rolán stepped up to the spot, and he scored with a “Panenka” to give Juárez a commanding 3-0 lead.

Morelia had little hope of mounting a comeback, and the task became even more unlikely in the 68th minute, when José Ortiz was sent off with his second

Admission is free and the public is invited.

Book teams compete for district titles

Competitions in the annual Battle of the Books reading contest are next week. Students read selected books beforehand and answer complex questions about their contents.

This year about 400 Kenai Peninsula students in kindergarten through 12th grade areinvolved. Those in kindergarten through grade two read in a noncompetitive program; other grades compete in four age-based categories.

The borough contest begins Monday and continues through Feb. 9. Each team stays at its own school and communicates with others over phone lines.

The district champs in each category will advance to state competition, which will be Feb. 20-23. Battle of the Books is sponsored by the Alaska Association of School Librarians.

Baker, for his part, declined to comment on the letter obtained by the Herald. He has been one of the most proactive chief defense counsels for military commissions, at times meeting with captives on representation issues and often sitting in court rather than observing proceedings via video feed. Last year, he briefly banned his defense teams from sleeping in

In the weeks after surgery, the residual swelling in his brain kept those good feelings going. For the first time in years, Larsen and his mother had hope for normalcy.

"I know that Brett has a lot of normal in him, even though this disease eats him up at times," said Michele Larsen. "There are moments when he's free enough of anxiety that he can express that. But it's only moments. It's not days. It's not hours. It's not enough."

Turning it on

In January, Larsen had his device activated. Almost immediately, he felt a swell of happiness reminiscent of what he had felt in the OR weeks earlier.

But that feeling would be fleeting -- the process for getting him to an optimal level would


Open in Spala, Poland, in early August.

Later that month Laverdure then won gold at the inaugural World Combat Games in Beijing, China.

Earlier in the summer she came second at the Canada Cup International after taking first overall at the Dave Shultz International in Colorado Springs, Colorado, in February.

Just prior to that, she won her weight-class at the Men’s and Women’s Freestyle Wrestling Tournament hosted by the University of Guelph in Ontario.

Last year she defended her Canadian Senior Nationals title in Regina, Saskatchewan. She also won the CIS National Championships in 2005 and in 2006, winning her the University of Calgary’s Athlete of the Year award in 2006.

In October 2008, Laverdure won a bronze at the World Championships in Tokyo, Japan – but not immediately. It was weeks after- Arnab squirmed and stammered right (went on for about 5 seconds) after Swamy pointed it was Priyanka Gandhi-Vadera and Sonia Gandhi who were also to blame for delay in hanging of Rajiv Gandhi's killers. Arnab changed the subject and moved the dialogue away from Swamy (away from the Dynasty). He did not pick on the point that NAC members were signing mercy petitions..... I was actually hoping you would pick that up and tweet or maybe write a post on that... :)

The same evening Barkha Dutt and Renuka Choudhary (the colour of her face changed and she was her sober best) justified Sonia Gandhi (on the same matter) as if to say that she represented the humane side of such decision making within the government.

of Gujaratis including Muslims long before, it is time that people out of Gujarat also know reality of propaganda carried by Congress, corrupt Media, NGO and also some analysts and journalists working abroad for foreign publications. Though many people outside Gujarat love Modi, it is really sad the way some of people outside Gujarat show their ignorance while commenting on Modi and riots in Gujarat. They are convinced by stories being fixed into their mind by corrupt combination of Anti Indian Govts. (Including Congress in India), corrupt NGO, corrupt Media. I as a Gujarati has lost trust in Media long time before.

Would like a article from you on the Afzal Guru hanging. There has been lot of queries in media questioning it. I do not appreciate the factlast week, think thursday or Friday where as always they were bashing NaMo...this was right after his brilliant speech in SRCC. They invited a student who honestly supported Modi and said " whatever said and done by all you guys of his past, he is the one who can take India forward according the youth...The student was weel educated and completely aligned to Modi's vision and his progress story...But what was shocking was Nidhi kept on challening the poor student saying how can we say he is progressive and our future when he has blood in his hands? The student tried again to answer but she kept pushing him on against the wall to say that what she or her channel prescribes to... Glad the student, how looked


Three months after a family of six was found butchered in a Gage Park home, Chicago police announced a relative of the family and his teenage girlfriend were charged with killing them after what police said was a robbery turned deadly.

Police and the Cook County State's Attorney's office confirmed Thursday afternoon 22-year-old Diego Uribe Cruz, a relative of the family, and his 19-year-old girlfriend Jafeth Ramos were arrested. Each is charged with six counts of first-degree murder.

The family of six was found stabbed, beaten and shot on Feb. 4, their bodies scattered inside a bungalow on a quiet street in the 5700 block of South California.

"They were a family like any other who went to work, went to school, loved each other and abided by the law," ChicagoPolice Supt. Eddie Johnson said.

The victims were later identified as a couple, their son, their daughter and their daughter's two children: 62-year-old Noe Martinez Sr., 58-year-old Rosaura Martinez, 38-year-old Noe Martinez Jr., 32-year-old Maria Herminia Martinez, 13-year-old Leonardo Cruz and 10-year-old Alexis Cruz.

Authorities say Uribe, a relative of Maria Herminia Martinez, attempted to rob the family inside the home and shot Martinez during a verbal argument.

"The offender first engaged in an argument with Maria. She was shot and killed and then as time went on, systematically, when he encountered the other subjects in the house, he proceeded to beat or stab them," Chicago Police Chief of Detectives Gene Roy said.

Authorities claim Ramos was present and an accomplice to the killings, but would not specify how.

Since day one of


Uribe was determined to have been inside the house and cell phone records put his location near the murders. Authorities said Uribe's blood was found outside the house and other biological evidence was located inside the home.

Police also said both suspects admitted to their roles in the murders.

Victims' advocate Dawn Valenti recalled seeing Uribe at vigils and funerals for the family, saying she even comforted the man who would later be charged with their murders.

"He was distraught," Valenti said. "And I thought it was grief."

Neighbors said they remembered that Uribe was the young man, good with kids, who was supposed to pick up the Martinez family's dog-- but never showed.

The great Greenland meltdown

From a helicopter clattering over Greenland's interior on a bright July day, the ice sheet below tells a tale of disintegration. Long, roughly parallel cracks score the surface, formed by water and pressure; impossibly blue lakes of meltwater fill depressions; and veiny networks of azure streams meander west, flowing to the edge of the ice sheet and eventually out to sea.

The scientists flying over the world's largest thawing chunk of ice have selected a particularly auspicious summer to be studying the melt. The edges of Greenland's 1.7-million-km2 ice sheet regularly melt in summer, even in years when the ice sheet as a whole grows because of snowfall in its higher, colder center. But in 2016, the melting started early and spread inland fast. By April,12% of the ice sheet's surface was melting; in an average year the melt doesn't reach 10% until June. And just before the scientists' journey, a violent river of meltwater, one of hundreds coursing out from the ice sheet, swept away a sensor, bolted to a bridge to measure the water's turbidity. It was the second time in 4 years such a device had fallen victim to the liquid fury of the glaciers. "I've been doing these trips for years, but I've never seen so much water," the helicopter pilot told the researchers.

In Greenland, the great melt is on. The decline of Greenland's ice sheet is a familiar story, but until recently, massive calving glaciers that carry ice from the interior and crumble into the sea got most


holds the equivalent of more than 7 m of sea level rise in its thick mantle of ice. Glaciologists were already fully occupied trying to track and forecast the surge in glacial calving. Now, they are striving to understand the complex feedbacks that are speeding up surface melting.

Although the Arctic is warming twice as fast as the rest of the world, high temperatures alone can't explain the precipitous erosion of Greenland's ice. Unseasonably warm summers appear to be abetted by microbes and algae that grow on the increasingly wet surface of the ice sheet, producing pigments that boost the ice's absorption of solar energy. Soot and dust that blow from lower latitudes and darken the ice also appear to be playing a role, as are changes in weatherpatterns that increasingly steer warm, moist air over the vulnerable ice.

To track this complex set of factors, scientists have enlisted satellite instruments: imagers to monitor the color and reflectivity, or albedo, of the ice and altimeters to measure its erosion millimeter by millimeter. They are also organizing expeditions like this one, called Black and Bloom, which has enlisted experts in algae (the Bloom) and soot (the Black), some of whom have never before worked in the Arctic. By inspecting the changing ice sheet close up, they hope to understand how biological and physical processes are conspiring to destroy it. As team leader Martyn Tranter, a biogeochemist at the University of Bristol in the United Kingdom, explains, "We're driven by curiosity, but also the fear that all this new


biology may accelerate global sea level rise."

An hour after taking off from an airstrip about 90 km from the western edge of the ice sheet, the helicopter lands on flat, dry, crunchy snow. The brightness is dazzling, making sunglasses a necessity. But when Joe Cook of the University of Sheffield in the United Kingdom takes light readings with a sensor connected to a mini-laptop, they show the snow isn't quite as white as it looks. It is absorbing a bit of the visible light it would otherwise reflect, and the absorption is greater in invisible infrared wavelengths. Cook explains that the darkening is the result of a melt-induced feedback that polar scientists have long documented: Upon melting and refreezing, ice crystals lose their spiky shape and grow largerand rounder, which can reduce the reflectivity of the snow by as much as 10%. As absorption rises, so does temperature, accelerating the melt.

Their measurements complete, the team packs into the helicopter and flies west, back toward the ice's edge. At the second stop the winter snow is gone, and the exposed ice is bumpier and wetter than at the first stop. It is also increasingly dirty and dark. Satellite data show that the margins of the ice sheet have darkened by as much as 5% per decade since 2001. That's why we've come to this place, which some have dubbed a "dark ice" zone. Earlier sampling revealed several culprits. Dust trapped over the centuries has become concentrated at the melting edge of the ice sheet. Soot from


grow, fueling continued melt.

In 2010, microbiologist Marian Yallop of Bristol found more life on the ice margins: a thriving community of algae that extends beyond the cones. "To the amazement of everybody, we found this algae growing in this extreme cold, under high ultraviolet light conditions, tolerating regular freezethaw cycles," says Yallop, who is taking part in this year's expedition. The brown pigments that protect the plants from the sun stain and darken massive swaths of ice.

Three factors—early snow melting, 24-hour sun, and prodigious liquid water—are fueling this bloom, hypothesizes glaciologist Andrew Tedstone of Bristol. Tedstone's idea could explain why during the warm summers of 2010, 2012, and 2016 the surface of the dark ice zone darkened dramatically, whereas in the cooler summer of 2015, the color changedlittle. If he is right, yet another ice-destroying feedback could be at work: Melt leads to liquid water, which fosters plant and microbial life, which darkens the ice and drives yet more melt.

On the ice surface, the Black and Bloom team scoops up samples of the burgeoning ecosystem and sucks air into aerosol samplers. They hope to quantify the feedback effect and investigate the possibility that nutrients in wind-borne particles are helping nourish the growth of the algae.

At the third sampling stop, 80 km west of the first, the algae's power to melt ice is devastatingly evident. Not only has winter snow long vanished, but so have several meters of the underlying ice. What's left is a far cry from the Greenland that most people picture. "People think


of the Greenland Ice Sheet as pretty pristine," says atmospheric scientist Jim McQuaid of the University of Leeds in the United Kingdom. But this scene is a mess: Cryoconite cones have coalesced into cruddy puddles and basins, while a robust river, a few meters across, gushes across the dirty icescape. The researchers eagerly scrape brownish snow into plastic bags. Later they'll analyze the samples for DNA and other markers to identify algae species as well as inorganic contaminants.

About 20 km from the final sampling station is an experimental plot that Black and Bloom researchers monitored for 5 weeks last summer. Their goal was to ground truth satellite measurements of the darkening, quantifying each of the darkening factors and their effects on melting. They called their study plot theyear, fully 98% of the ice sheet was covered in liquid water, according to satellite data. At one weather station, a layer of ice as much as a meter thick melted in 4 days. That brief episode and a subsequent 2-day melt contributed to 14% of the season's ice loss.

But a recently published modeling study of the 2012 melting showed it wasn't sun falling on darkened snow that drove the melt—in fact, the skies were pretty cloudy over much of the island during the two melting events. Instead, it was warm temperatures and rainfall, provided by big "blocking" high-pressure systems that kept the mild weather in place. As the Arctic warms, such melt episodes are likely to "occur much more frequently in the future," says Dirk van As


of the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland in Copenhagen. Earlier this year, climate scientist Marco Tedesco of Columbia University published data supporting an earlier proposal that the retreat of Arctic sea ice has disrupted the polar jet stream, causing weather systems to meander more slowly from west to east.

The topography of the ice sheet also plays a role in the accelerating melt. Each increase in temperature drives the upper edge of the melt zone farther inland and higher up the ice sheet. But because the ice sheet is steep at its edges but flatter toward the middle, each successive degree of warming exposes a larger area of ice to melting than the last. This nonlinear response to warming means that about 60% more meltwater was released fromthey also felt a sense of wonder at the transformation of the icescape, McQuaid says. "Each evening we marveled as the sun went low, enjoying the fact that we were somewhere no one else had been, and would never be again, because of the melt."

Baltimore Ravens players and coaches accused Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin of cheating after he stepped onto the field and seemingly prevented a touchdown on a kickoff return during Thursday night's game.

The Ravens won 22-20.

Up 13-7 in the third quarter, Ravens returner Jacoby Jones was streaking down the sideline when he passed Tomlin — who was standing with one foot on the field while watching the jumbotron.

Jones cut inside to avoid Tomlin, who jumped out of the way at the last second, and got tackled.

The play:

You can see Jones juke back inside, but he might have gotten tackled anyway (via @cjzero):

Ravens coach John Harbaugh said after the game, "I was wondering, did they credit him with the tackle on that? I really don't know what to say aboutA Newark, N.J., City Council meeting to decide who would fill a vacant council seat descended into chaos, with angry residents rushing the stage and police using pepper spray to end the near-riot, according to media reports.

Dozens of people rushed the stage Tuesday night after Mayor Cory Booker made a rare appearance at the meeting and cast the deciding vote to fill the vacancy left by Donald Payne Jr., who was elected to Congress, the Newark Star-Ledger reported.

Booker, invoking a law that gives the mayor a vote in the absence of a quorum, backed Shanique Davis Speight for the seat, raising the ire of many in the packed council chamber who supported John Sharpe James, the son of former mayor Sharpe James. James is an avowed opponent of


Booker, who lost to James’ father in the 2002 mayoral race before winning in 2006.

An attempt was made to swear in Speight, but people in the audience protested, with some chanting, "Cory's gotta go!" Several people in the audience shouted and gestured animatedly toward the stage, ignoring appeals to sit down.

“People in the crowd stood up and said it was unlawful,” South Ward Councilman Ras Baraka told the Montclair Patch.

Speight was ultimately ushered out of the room and sworn in later by the city clerk.

Police moved in to try to control the crowd after a group, led by SEIU Local 617 President Rahaman Muhammad, rushed toward the dais, the Newark Star-Ledger reported. In the chaos, people were shoved, a podium was knocked over and an officer doused Muhammadthe piston to distribute pressurized supply air first beneath the piston and, alternately, above the piston.

Such hammer has a casing with a piston having a top portion and a lower portion. The upper portion of the piston is smaller in diameter than is the lower portion of the piston. Supply air is channeled in an annulus about a relief tube through the center of the piston. For a given outside diameter of the casing, the top end of the top portion

Downing Street is resigned to several drafts of the statement before the summit, when Ms May will join EU leaders for breakfast, before leaving the room.

Meanwhile, it emerged that Mr Davis is poised to make an unscheduled trip to Brussels – just four days after his fifth round of talks with Mr Barnier hit a wall.

He will not meet the chief negotiator, but is expected to try to open up a new front with likely friendly figures from both the Commission and member states.

The Prime Minister spoke with the German Chancellor on Sunday, primarily about Donald Trump’s undermining for the Iran nuclear deal, but also about Brexit.

“They looked ahead to next week's council, agreeing on the importance of continued constructive progress inthe UK's exit negotiations,” a No 10 spokesman said:

The first Brexit talks with ministers from across the UK for eight months will also be staged on Monday – but with little sign of any progress.

The Joint Ministerial Committee was set up to give Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland a voice, but they have protested that it is little more than a fig leaf.

Scottish nationalists will continue to push for the Government to give Scotland a legal say on the exit process and on leaving the EU's single market.

Rated No RatingUberEats and Deliveroo drivers were specifically targeted for their mopeds in a spate of horrific acid attacks across east London, with police arresting two teenagers aged 15 and 16 over the incident.

One rider was attacked and robbed while another man was heard 'screaming in agony' after suffering catastrophic injuries when doused with flesh-burning liquid.

Another victim who also had his moped stolen was filmed having litres of water poured over his face by police to wash acid from his eyes by the side of the road in Hackney.

The two-man gang went on a rampage across east London as they sprayed five men between 10.25pm and 11.37pm in Stoke Newington, Hackney and Islington.

One of the drivers was confirmed to work for Deliveroo, while another was a father-of-one UberEats driver who


said he was 'saved by his moped helmet'.

A 15-year-old boy was arrested at an address in Stoke Newington on suspicion of grievous bodily harm and robbery, after a 16-year-old was detained earlier this morning.

Jabed Hussain says he was lucky not to be more seriously injured after he was the first victim of a gang who sprayed acid in the faces of delivery drivers on mopeds last night

Map: This graphic illustrates where the shocking acid attacks took place last night - one suspect has been held and the other is on the run

Jabed Hussain suffered burns to his lip when he a corrosive liquid was squirted through his helmet at traffic lights before robbers snatched his 'pride and joy' moped.

The father-of-one is understood to have been the first offive victims sprayed with acid by two attackers who rode around Hackney last night.

Mr Hussain, 32, says he considers himself lucky after seeing the other victims nursing more serious injuries when he was treated in Whitechapel's Royal London Hospital.

Mr Hussain said:' The delivery driver of four years said: 'I was lucky because I was wearing a helmet which is totally burnt as was the hoodie I was wearing, the colours are completely different, like it has been exposed to fire.

'I had just finished work and was going home, I was stuck in traffic. Then suddenly I felt water on my face and I looked up and there were two boys on a bike.

'My face was burning but nobody opened their windows, I was screaming for help and as


the liquid on my face was drying it was getting more and more burnt. I opened my helmet, I didn't know what to do, but I knew I needed water.

'One lady asked me what happened and I said that someone had put acid on my face.

'I said I need water on my face, it is burning, she went and got water from Co-Op and others got water too.

He was later rushed to hospital, where he saw other victims with worse injuries.

Two men on a moped carried out five acid attacks in a 72-minute period in London on Thursday night, leaving one victim with life-changing injuries on Hackney Road junction with Queensbridge Road (pictured). Other delivery drivers rushed to the scene after the attack

Call for knife-style crackdown Acid attacksthe same penalty as possessing a knife. He added: ‘In a way, [an acid attack] is almost like a safer crime to commit, especially for gang members perhaps lower down the hierarchy.’ Advertisement

He added: 'One man I walked past at the Royal London Hospital had the left hand side of his face all burned.

'When my daughter saw my face last night she was screaming and crying, she recognised me but she was looking at me in a different way.'

He spoke as police arrested a second suspect over the 72-minute spree across east London last night.

Witnesses said one attacker riding pillion would jump off and steal the victim's scooter with the other thief speeding away on the moped they arrived on.

Some of the victims were food delivery drivers and


one Deliveroo employee has revealed 40 of his colleagues in east London are now refusing to work after dark.

He said groups of up to 12 youths are stealing their motorcycles when they visit housing estates and some drivers are now even carrying weapons to fight them off.

This morning, Scotland Yard said today that a 16-year-old boy has been arrested on suspicion of grievous bodily harm and robbery. The arrest of the 15-year-old was announced this afternoon.

Police officers were seen pouring bottle after bottle of water over a victim, understood to be Mr Hussain, in a video that appeared on Twitter from Hackney Road

Chief Inspector Ben Clark, from Hackney Borough police, said: 'Each of these offences took place in busy locations and we know there may be witnesses whoacid is becoming the weapon of choice for many criminals because it is not illegal to carry and can be bought freely from any hardware store.

Assaults using acid have more than doubled in England since 2012 - up from 183 five years ago to 504 in the year to March 2017. The majority have been in east London.

There were more than 1,800 reports of acid used in murders, robberies and rapes since 2010.

Last year acid was used in 454 crimes, up from 261 the previous year, with almost a third of the attacks carried out in the borough of Newham in east London, the figures show.

The problem has got so bad for Deliveroo drivers in east London that many are refusing to work past 9.30pm.

One worker revealed he


was surrounded by up to 12 youths who threatened to attack him unless he handed over his moped.

He told the Hackney Gazette that 40 out of 50 staff will not work night shifts.

He said last week: 'In the past month physical attacks with knives have started. Drivers are being held at knifepoint, mostly in Shoreditch or Hackney Central.

'You can be riding along and they chase you on another moped.

'We're seeing groups of boys on three or four mopeds, with people on the back, running drivers off the road and taking their mopeds.

'On Queensbridge Road last week a driver was stopped at the lights and 10 boys on bikes said: 'Get off your bike.'

Revealing the anger among drivers he said: 'They are talking about forming packs of drivers togo back and get justice themselves. Drivers don't want to carry weapons but I know some that will.'

Last night the most serious incident has left a man with 'life-changing injuries' in Cazenove Road, Stoke Newington.

Local baker Samuel Leibowitz, 49, said he rushed to the scene to find the victim 'screaming in agony' and surrounded by 50 to 60 people who had flooded out of their houses.

He said: 'I got a call from a friend of mine saying there was an attack. I came running down the road and I saw a gentleman leaning on the wall with a cloth over his face.

'He was screaming in agony. There were people shouting and swearing. He was in a lot of pain'.

Samuel said he believes the victim was in his mid-20s.

He


added: 'I could not see his face as he was holding the cloth and he was in a lot of pain. There were lots of people around him.

'People said he was attacked. I thought he must have been attacked with a knife or something but I saw the cloth and there were lots of people around him, so I didn't actually approach him.

'I realised there was no blood so I thought there must have been another acid attack.'

Last night police were called to the first attack at junction of Hackney Road and Queensbridge Road in Hackney at about 10.25pm.

The 32-year-old victim was sprayed in the face by the scooter gang after they pulled alongside him.

One of the riders then took his moped and his accomplice followed behind onthe scooter they arrived on.

Witness Sarah Cobbold looked out from her flat near the Hackney Road attack to see police pouring huge bottles of water over the victim on her doorstep.

She said: 'It was just outside my flat, the victim was literally stood on my doorstep.

'Police had cordoned off the little area around the pavement and there was just a guy standing on my doorway and they were pouring huge, five-litre bottles of water over his head'.

Roads were closed around and buses stopped and evacuated after the thugs struck last night

As she watched, around 25 moped riders arrived - many appearing to be from fast-food delivery companies


such as UberEats and Deliveroo.

She said: 'I'm guessing maybe they had heard what happened and came down because they can't have all been driving round together'.

'I had thought someone must have chucked petrol or acid on him or something because they were covering him in water, but I have never seen that reaction to an attack, I thought maybe there had been an accident.

Little more than 20 minutes later, at around 10.50pm, another victim had been sprayed with searing liquid by the pair at the Upper Street junction with Highbury Corner, Islington.

The victim was taken to hospital in north London.

Then at around 11.05pm, the fast-moving attackers swooped on a man in Shoreditch High Street, tossing a substance in his face.

His injuries were not life-threatening, police said.

Horrified eyewitnesses said the victim, believed to be in his 40s, had stopped at traffic lights when another moped with a pillion passenger stopped less than a metre in front of him.

The brave delivery man fought back to prevent the thugs stealing his scooter despite being sprayed with the liquid.

He was the third of five people to be attacked in just 72 minutes by the moped thugs on Thursday night.

The eyewitness, who asked not to be named, said:


'One guy was on a moped at traffic lights when another moped stopped in front of him, and the passenger turned around and sprayed liquid at him.

Aspiring model Resham Khan, 21, suffered 'life-changing' injuries in the acid attack

'He had his visor down which helped him.

'The guy on the moped sat there in shock and then a kid pushed him off and tried to nick his bike.

'But he went back over to them and pushed the kid off and then both took off on their moped.

'They didn't manage to nick his bike. They rode off. They were just kids, about 17 or 18 years old.

'We got him into here and poured vinegar on his face while a friend of mine went to get his bike.

'I think it was ammoniathey sprayed, I could smell it. When the police got here they poured litres and litres of water on his face'.

Within 15 minutes, they appeared to have struck again, launching their corrosive load at a man in Cazenove Road and causing 'life-changing' facial injuries.

The final assault of the night was reported to police at 11.37pm, when another man was confronted as he sat on his moped in traffic in Chatsworth Road.

After again spraying a liquid in a victim's face, the moped was stolen and both attackers fled.

Troubled Newton gets fresh start

The chance of a new beginning for Matthew Newton following Thursday's US court decision not to have an assault conviction recorded against him was welcomed by his greatest supporters, including controversial lawyer Chris Murphy.

Within minutes of the news breaking Murphy tweeted: ''Gratifying to see Matthew Newton rise above difficult issues. Grateful to the USA for the magnificent @bettyfordcenter. A better life.''

But PS can only wonder what parents Bert and Patti Newton must be making of it all.

The past few years have indeed been troubling for the couple and fractured their once tight family.

It's all a million miles from far happier days when the Newtons were Australia's pin-up showbiz family.

They were once such a picture of familial perfection theywere enlisted for an advertising campaign in 1978 promoting the most wholesome of products, Johnson's Baby Powder.

Bert and Patti appeared in the ad wearing matching pristine white terry-towelling bathrobes, with Patti covered in baby powder as she lovingly kissed her baby Matthew on the cheek, while proud father Bert smiled broadly, resplendent in gold medallions on his thatch of ginger chest hair. The accompanying text informs readers: ''In the Newton family, everybody stays dry, fresh and comfortable with pure, soft absorbent Johnson's Baby Powder.''

On Thursday Newton was ordered to pay a US hotel clerk $US11,500 ($11,100) - he was arrested in April over allegations he punched the clerk in the face. The charges were dismissed on the condition Newton made the payment, apologised in writing and completed 50


hours of community service and an anger management course.

In-crowd's ticket to happiness

Her billionaire brother James Packer drops $50 million on a gleaming superyacht to feel happy - with mixed results, as PS discovered - but for Gretel Packer, happiness is just a $40 ticket away. She is one of Sydney's rich and famous who are beating a path to a new ''club'' set up by three new-age meditation gurus offering to show members the path to enlightenment.

Called the Conscious Club, over the past year its members have included the heiress Packer, television personality Jamie Durie, sass & bide fashion designers Heidi Middleton and Sarah-Jane Clarke, high-profile architect Nick Tobias, Wallabies player Berrick Barnes, and clothing designers George Gorrow and Dan Single, along with a growing band of modelsunconscious on booze, we are promoting a night out which is all about enhancing your consciousness.''

Jack's back for polo dalliance

Ladies, start your engines.

One of the country's most eligible men is in town on Saturday for the annual Paspaley Polo in the City match in Centennial Park.

When it comes to Aussie blue bloods, they don't come much bluer than Jack ''Ruki'' Baillieu, a member of Melbourne's mega-wealthy Baillieu clan, which BRW valued at some $300 million this year, give or take a few million.

Baillieu splits his time between Australia, Britain, Santa Barbara and Argentina playing in the international polo circuit. Polo magazines describe him as ''a charming devil on horseback''.

During his international forays Baillieu regularly plays with lords and ladies, property tycoons, billionaires and in the US has played


for seven years for the Jimmy Choo team.

Then there's the exhibition matches, including the Prince's Trust, a charity set up by Prince Charles, in which he plays alongside Princes William and Harry, whom he fondly refers to as ''the Prince boys''.

The Paspaley family is upping the ante this year and has created a double-storey pavilion with viewing deck in the VIP marquee. Guests include Ashley Hart, Nikki Phillips, Hoda Waterhouse, Lee and Shane Watson, Glenn and Sara McGrath, Pip Edwards and Natarsha Belling.

Price of a legend

This week's news that INXS was disbanding has once again resurrected memories of its former frontman, the late Michael Hutchence, pictured right. It has been a year since reports emerged that there were two Hutchence biographical films on the way, one by Britishfilm maker Asa Bailey and one by writer/director Richard Lowenstein, who is producing the film alongside Sue Murray, who confirmed the project was still very much in development. One of the great obstacles for both projects has been securing copyright to the many songs Hutchence and INXS were famous for. Los Angeles based agency APA, which controls Hutchence's intellectual property on behalf of Michael's Trust, has already publicly stated it had not ''approved or endorsed'' any movies, while insiders say securing the rights to the band's music could prove so costly it would kill off any such project.

Q:

In what ways did Muhammad's teachings improve the status of women?

A friend of mine has claimed that, historically, Islam and its prophet Muhammad's statements have improved the status of women compared to the earlier social or religious systems that they replaced. Is this true? In what ways did Muhammad's teachings change the status of women in society?

A:

All Praise to Allah Subhanahu wa Taala and blessings of Him be on Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him His family and companions,
Mankind inherited from the Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him a great Islamic tradition when he said:
‘The best of you (men) are those who best treat their women.’
It was narrated from Ibn 'Abbas that:
the Prophet peace be upon him said: "The best of you is the one who iswere taking all his time. With that,
  he promised them one day for religious lessons and commandments. Once,
  during such a lesson, the Prophet (PBUH) said, ‘A woman whose three
  children die will be shielded by them from the Hell fire.’ At that, a
  woman asked, ‘If only two die?’ He replied, ‘Even two (will shield her
  from the Hellfire)" (Bukhari, Sahih Muslim)

Though the Prophet (PBUH) was burdened by his missionary duties and always engaged by the affairs of the new born nation, he noticed the absence of the woman who used to clean the mosque, although she was one of the common people who was never noticed or missed. However, the Prophet (PBUH) noticed her absence, and that indicates his fairness and


his keenness to give everyone his due rights.

Abu Huraira narrated: “A black man, or a black woman, used to sweep
  the mosque and he, or she, died. The Prophet (PBUH) asked about her
  (or him). He was told that she (or he) had died. He said, ‘Why did you
  not inform me? Show me his grave (or her grave).’ So he went to her
  (his) grave and offered her (or his) funeral prayer”. (Muslim,Bukhari)

In the pre-Islamic era of Arabia, fathers commonly became extremely angry and disgraced with the birth of a female child into their family. Some considered it an evil omen. Allah, the Exalted, describes the father's reception of the news about the birth of a daughter:
(When the news of (thebirth of) a female is brought to any of them, his face becomes dark, and he is filled with inward grief! He hides himself from the people because of the evil (and shame) of that which he has been informed. Shall he keep her with dishonor, or bury her in the dirt? Certainly, evil is their decision...) (16:59 Quran)
Women were not even able to practice some of the most natural of rights. For instance eating certain types of foods was allowed only for males. Allah, the Exalted, records this in the Glorious Qur'an:
(And they say: What is in the bellies of such cattle (whether milk or fetus) is for the male alone, and forbidden from our females, however, if it was born dead, then all have shares

But even in Navigtr, their programmers didn't think about fonts either.

it back to him, ask him to identify all changes in the old versus the new, then said, I will think over it and call back tomorrow.

I learned that he did have to discuss a bit why when the person went to implement the quote, things seemed different - it was because the rep was using new terms, where as the first rep had kept the language in the terms and phrases that my brother new from the old bill.

Hunt County – Hunt County Judge Joe Bobbitt issued a letter Tuesday demanding Sheriff Don Anderson produce an official bond required by local government code, according to the Greenville Herald Banner. The issue of the existence of the bond has been a point of contention since $17,000 was reported missing from the Hunt County Sheriff's office.

Sheriff Don Anderson says he has the bond, but has not produced it for the Commissioner's Court. Anderson said there are more important things worry about, such as protecting citizens.

The sheriff is required to carry a position bond as well as a personal, official bond made payable to the governor. Anderson was first asked to produce the personal bond last February.

A catastrophic pandemic ravages the globe, reducing the human population to extinction levels.

An arrogant bookworm, a doomsday prepper, a brilliant scientist, and a journal-keeping poet are among those who survive the disease that annihilated almost everyone else on the planet.

Not dying was the easy part.

Now, a year later, they navigate a bleak world…one without technology, without modern medicine, and without law and order. They must unify their diverse strengthsnot only to rebuild civilization, but to battle those who would use brutality to forge empires.

The plague cleansed the world of mediocrity. The survivors possess the intellect and vision to save humankind.

Random Renaissance Era Tidbits:

Conflicts between Protestants and Catholics grew during Charles II reign. The majority of the population distrusted Catholics. In 1678 an angry mob surrounded a coach that they believed contained Louise de Keroualle (the King's French CATHOLIC mistress). The crowd was surprised when the very English Nell Gwynne stuck her head out of the coach in a effort to calm the crowd. She said 'Pray good people be civil, I am the Protestant whore'.

A Jew does not convert when allegiances are switched within the various Jewish movements.  A Karaite Jew with a Karaite Jewish mother will have no problems becoming an Orthodox Jew if he seeks to observe as a Sephardic Orthodox Jew. This statement is made on the basis of a statement by the Orthodox Sephardic Chief Rabbi of Netanya, Rabbi David Chelouche, who in an article in the Jerusalem Post entitled "Laying Down the Oral Law" on May 22, 2007 said: "Rabbi David Chayim Chelouche, the chief rabbi of Netanya, agrees.

The Faculty of Agriculture started in the year 1958, has contributed significantly during the last five academic years (2007-08 to 2011-12). The Faculty comprises Nine Departments and one divisions, with 238 teaching staff and 2646 students in total. (The teacher student ratio is 1:11). The unique feature of this faculty is that it offers B.Sc. (Ag.) and B.Sc. (Horti.) programmes as undergraduate courses, where in all the nine departments and one division join hands and share the credit loads of the programmes as outlined by ICAR (Indian Council of Agricultural Research). Besides these two undergraduate progrmmes, that are common for the faculty, individual departments offer post-graduate and Ph.D programmes independently. One highest research degree viz. Doctor of Science that is offered by the University for superior


Post Doctoral research was offered in the Department of Agronomy in 2009. Different departments of this Faculty offered 134 Ph.D degrees during this last five year period.

The research grants generated from various funding agencies in these departments works out to Rs. 19.34 crores. The Faculty has also obtained a patent from DST, New Delhi and submitted one rice variety and one technology for release by the Government of Tamilnadu for adoption by it's farmers. The prestigious National Agricultural Innovation Project funded by ICAR and World Bank to a tune of Rs. 9.45 crores has substantially raised the livelihoods of 2400 farming households in four disadvantaged districts of Tamilnadu viz., Cuddalore, Nagapattinam, Villupuram and Thiruvannamalai. This project was adjudged as the best among 36 Sustainable Rural Livelihood Projects implementedacross the country by ICAR. Faculty has a unique academic collaboration with Dalhousie University's Faculty of Agriculture (Erstwhile Nova Scotia Agriculture College), Canada for a dual degree programme. Students have to take six semesters in Annamalai University Faculty of Agriculture and three semesters in Dalhousie University, Canada so as to get two degrees simultaneously viz., B.Sc.(Ag.) from Annamalai University and B.Tech. Landscape Horticulture from Dalhousie, Canada. During 2011-12, three students from Annamalai University have gone to Canada, in this programme. Global farm research premiers like FAO, IRRI and USDA collaborate with different departments of this Faculty.

The Dane parted ways with Renault after a single season, with managing director Cyril Abiteboul telling French media recently that he lacks discipline and commitment.

Sources at Renault and former team McLaren have questioned about his work ethic but when asked for his view, Magnussen said: "I've heard things before, but never from the team.

"Sometimes you're unlucky one guy says something to the press and that becomes the official opinion of the whole team.

"But it's just one guy, so I don't take that seriously."

Magnussen spent a year at McLaren in 2014 but lost the battle with Jenson Button to retain the seat alongside Fernando Alonso.

He spent 2015 as McLaren reserve and then joined Renault for last season as a late replacement for Pastor Maldonado, whose sponsorship didn't materialise.

Magnussen joined the American team on a multi-year deal and takes comfort from the belief owner Gene Haas and team principal Gunther Steiner have shown in him.

"It's a different feeling coming to a team that wants you and signed you because they think you can deliver something they want," he said.

"It's motivating, there's no secret it motivates you and I can't wait for the season to start.

"I had a long relationship with McLaren and McLaren also chose me very early.

"They showed great commitment as well.

US PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION: REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE DONALD TRUMP’S
ACTIVITIES IN RUSSIA AND COMPROMISING RELATIONSHIP WITH THE
KREMLIN

Summary

– Russian regime has been cultivating, supporting and assisting TRUMP for
at least 5 years. Aim, endorsed by PUTIN, has been to encourage splits and
divisions in western alliance

– So far TRUMP has declined various sweetener real estate business deals
offered him in Russia in order to further the Kremlin’s cultivation of him.
However he and his inner circle have accepted a regular flow of
intelligence from the Kremlin, including on his Democratic and other
political rivals

– Former top Russian intelligence officer claims FSB has compromised
TRUMP through his activities in Moscow sufficiently to be able to
blackmail him. According to several knowledgeable sources, his conduct
in Moscow has included perverted sexual acts which have been
arranged/monitored by the FSB

A dossier of compromisingmaterial on Hillary CLINTON has been collated
by the Russian Intelligence Services over many years and mainly
comprises bugged conversations she had on various visits to Russia and
intercepted phone calls rather than any embarrassing conduct. The
dossier is controlled by Kremlin spokesman, PESKOV, directly on PUTIN’S
orders. However it has not as yet been distributed abroad, including to
TRUMP. Russian intentions for its deployment still unclear

Detail

1. Speaking to a trusted compatriot in June 2016 sources A and B, a senior
Russian Foreign Ministry figure and a former top level Russian
intelligence officer still active inside the Kremlin respectively, the Russian
authorities had been cultivating and supporting US Republican
presidential candidate, Donald TRUMP for at least 5 years. Source B
asserted that the TRUMP operation was both supported and directed by
Russian President Vladimir PUTIN. Its aim was to sow


Russia, and defiling the bed where they had
slept by employing a number of prostitutes to perform a ’golden showers
(urination) show in front of him. The hotel was known to be under FSB
control with microphones and concealed cameras in all the main rooms
to record anything they wanted to.

authorities there with(in order of priority):- targeting foreign, especially

western governments; penetrating leading foreign business corporations,
especially banks; domestic monitoring of the elite; and attacking political
opponents both at home and abroad. The former intelligence officer
reported that the Federal Security Service (FSB) was the lead
organization within the Russian state apparatus for cyber operations.

2. In terms of the success of Russian offensive cyber operations to date, a
senior government figure reported that there had been only limited
success in penetrating the “first tier” foreign targets. These comprised
western (especially G7 and NATO) governments, security and intelligence
services and central banks, and the IFls. To compensate for this shortfall,
massive effort had been invested, with much greater success, in attacking
the “secondary targets”, particularly western private banks and the
governments of smaller states allied to the West. S/he mentioned atvia
in


the FSB was
approaching US citizens of Russian (Jewish) origin on business trips to
Russia. In one case a US citizen of Russian ethnicity had been visiting
Moscow to attract investors in his new information technology program.
The FSB clearly knew this and had offered to provide seed capital to this
person in return for them being able to access and modify his IP, with a
view to targeting priority foreign targets by planting a Trojan virus in the
software. The US visitor was told this was common practice. The FSB also
had implied significant operational success as a result of installing cheap
Russian IT games containing their own malware unwittingly by targets
on their PCs and other platforms.

4. In a more advanced and successful FSB operation, an IT operator inside a
leading Russian SOE, who previously had beenemployed on conventional
(defensive) IT work there, had been under instruction for the last year to
conduct an offensive cyber operation against a foreign director of the
company. Although the latter was apparently an infrequent visitor to
Russia, the FSB now successfully had penetrated his personal IT and
through this had managed to access various important institutions in the
West through the back door.

5. In terms of other technical IT platforms, an FSB cyber operative flagged
up the ‘Telegram’ enciphered commercial system as having been of
especial concern and therefore heavily targeted by the FSB, not least
because it was used frequently by Russian internal political activists and
oppositionists. His/her understanding was that the FSB now successfully
had cracked this communications software and therefore it was no longer
secure to use.
