It is forecasted that the limited supply of Bitcoin would entail an increase in the prices of the cryptocurrency provided its demand also increases. At the moment there is a stockpile of inactive Bitcoin which is allegedly held by Bitcoin’s creator, Satoshi Nakamoto. Perhaps this supply of about one million Bitcoins is being saved for the time when the supply of the cryptocurrency will face increased demand.

Houston Trans Woman Beaten, Officials Offer Lukewarm Response

As Houston lawmakers continue to debate the HERO antidiscrimination ordinance, trans resident Thailand Warr says police didn't address her being viciously attacked by seven youths with the seriousness it merits.

While trans advocates and allies around the world were hosting vigils to commemorate the annual Transgender Day of Remembrance on November 20, 33-year-old trans woman of color Thailand Warr was attacked by seven strangers in the lobby of her Houston apartment building, reports Texas LGBT magazine About.

Warr, an entertainer who performs under the stage name DeyJzah Opulent Mirage, says she was preparing for a show at Houston Improv when she heard a loud knock at her door; when she answered, no one was there. After this happened again, she asked a neighbor


who said two men had knocked and ran away.

Soon after, as Warr was descending the high-rise's stairs to meet a waiting taxi, she tells About that a group of five black men and two black women in their late teens to early-20s stopped her. One of the men, police discovered, was the son of a woman who lived in the building.

During the vicious attack that ensued, Warr alleges that a female assailant grabbed her wig saying, "I want that hair," a young man threw punches, several people grabbed at her chest in an attempt to expose her breasts, and one man stabbed her above an eye with a pocketknife.

"My eye filled with blood," she recalled to About. "I didn't know how badly I was cut, but I toldmyself, 'Don't fall down.'" She ultimately sustained injuries to her head, chest, and upper body, but escaped with her life and sought out a police officer.

Warr was able to return home that evening, but she says she has serious concerns about how the Houston Police Department addressed her case. "I don't feel like they took it very seriously," she told About. "I didn't feel like I was being comforted like a woman who was attacked."

In April, Hoston's Mayor Annise Parker released a draft of a sweeping Houston Equal Rights Ordinance, also known as HERO, that protects anyone living, working in, or visiting the city from housing, public accommodations, and employment discrimination based on, among other characteristics, their gender identity. However, the law has been delayed by detractors until


loan dollars in the United States. Although these large-balance borrowers have historically strong labor market outcomes and low rates of default, repayment rates have slowed significantly between 1990 and 2014 reflecting, in part, changes in the characteristics of students, the schools they attended, and the rising amounts borrowed. A decomposition analysis indicates that changes in the types of institutions attended, student demographics, default rates, and increased participation of alternative repayment plans and forbearance largely explain the decrease in student loan repayment.

Abstract:

Much of the controversy has been strictly political, focused primarily on exploiting anger and suspicion toward Moscow as a weapon during theATHENS, Ga. - A blazing 50-yard freestyle by junior Marcelo Chierighini led a group of 16 Auburn swimmers that advanced to finals Friday morning on the first day of the Georgia Fall Invitational at UGA's Gabrielsen Natatorium.

Chierighini posted the fourth-fastest time in the country this year and the best in the SEC with a 19.72 to lead all swimmers in Friday morning's session, earning the top seed for tonight's championship final. He is one of 12 swimmers to break the 20-second barrier in the nation so far this season. He led a group of four Auburn men - all swimming unrested and unsuited - into tonight's finals. Junior James Disney-May just missed the championship final with a 20.44, earning the No. 9 seed and a spot in the


consolation, while TJ Leon (20.63) and Kyle Owens (20.64) claimed spots in the C-final.

Sophomore Tommy McKee provided the other big highlight of the morning for the Auburn men, knocking more than 14 seconds off his previous personal best in the 500 free with an NCAA `B' cut time of 4:24.09 to earn a spot in tonight's championship final. It's the best time this season by an Auburn swimmer and ranks him in the nation's top 30 so far this year. Junior Zane Grothe put together a nice morning swim of 4:24.25 to earn a spot in the consolation final, while Jordan Jones (4:32.29), Steyn Funk (4:34.27), Sam Parker (4:34.68) and Antton Haramboure (4:34.78) all posted season-best times.

Dave Chappelle grew up near Washington, D.C. So when he received the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor on Sunday night at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, it was a family affair.

Chappelle's wife and kids were there. A selection of his favorite musicians — people like Yasiin Bey, Common, Erykah Badu, Q-Tip, Frederic Yonnet and John Legend — performed throughout the evening. And his fellow comedians talked about him like he was kin.

"Dave, you have always been a mentor," Tiffany Haddish said from the stage. "You've been my mentor, my big brother. Every time I step


he was already well-known as a stand-up comedian, Chappelle's career took off in the early 2000s with Chappelle's Show on Comedy Central. The show obliterated boundaries. In the first episode, Chappelle played Clayton Bigsby, a white supremacist who was blind — and thus didn't know he was black.

"That was the funniest thing I'd ever seen in my life," SNL's Kenan Thompson said on the red carpet. Thompson also reflected a bit on Chappelle's style as a comedian: "Whatever your fears might be, he wants to clear the air and dig down and find out what's really funny about different situations. And that's the ultimate job of a comedian, and he's great at it."

Chappelle famously walked away from Comedy Central midway through the show's third season. Jon Stewart wasnecessarily an easy living but it's ... worth everything that I've been through — especially to get a night like tonight, and have people just recognize it's not an easy thing to do. And it's humbling to get an award."

From the stage, he expressed joy at seeing so many friends from different parts of his life, and at being a part of the comedy community. "I want you to know it [the award] belongs to all of us," he said.

Chappelle had special praise for three people: the comedian Tony Woods, a major early influence; the director Stan Lathan, who masterminded his five recent Netflix specials; and his mother, who encouraged him to be a griot of his time.

A new publication in the journal Frontiers in Marine Science tracks West Indian manatee movements through nearshore and offshore ship channels in the north-central Gulf of Mexico. The publication, "Linking Use of Ship Channels by West Indian Manatees (Trichechus manatus) to Seasonal Migration and Habitat Use," provides new fundamental knowledge on movement ecology of a large, protected marine species and important information to guide future conservation practices.

The work synthesizes 10 years of data collected by researchers at the Dauphin Island Sea Lab from satellite tracking, citizen-sourced sightings, and environmental attributes linked to manatee movements.

During migration, manatees have the potential to travel through a wide range of channel types and are exposed to a diversity of vessel types, including recreational boats, shrimp trawlers, barges, and large container ships. ByThe Cohdopian smuggling ring was an international crime ring that dealt in counterfeiting and smuggling contraband. It was responsible mainly for the smuggling of ink made from whitcrystal oil (known as Babahlese ink) from Cohdopia and later Babahl, as well as the circulation of counterfeit currency in Zheng Fa, which crippled the country's economy. The ring also stole various valuable artifacts by switching them with fakes as they were being transported between countries. The Amano Group used its international power and influence to finance and facilitate the ring's activities. The ring has no official name and is generally referred to as "the smuggling ring" or "the international smuggling ring". The term "Cohdopian smuggling ring" is used here to give a more specific identification to the ring.

A Cohdopian general


named Quercus Alba became Cohdopia's ambassador to the United States. This position was the perfect opportunity for Alba to drive the operations of the smuggling ring. The ring gained control of many American corporations, most notably the Amano Group, which held powerful connections with the legal system as well as other countries.

In 2008 or 2009, the Amano Group came under fire due to its involvement with the smuggling ring. The company leaders put forward a scapegoat, Colin Devorae, whom they claimed had committed the deeds in question. Another employee of the Amano Group, Cece Yew, was the sole witness to the crimes, but Quercus Alba ordered one of his top agents, Manny Coachen, to kill her. However, Coachen was caught on camera, and he was arrested. Alba plantedanother one of his agents into the trial as Cece's sister "Calisto Yew". Meanwhile, an agent of the Amano Group managed to steal the incriminating footage, and Coachen was thus acquitted. Upon seeing "Calisto's" distress as the verdict was read, detective Tyrell Badd and prosecutor Byrne Faraday vowed to stop the ring at all costs. They joined Calisto and became the Great Thief Yatagarasu. Meanwhile, Colin Devorae was convicted for crimes that he didn't commit, and he was sent to Penn E. Dent Prison. However, he managed to escape and find sanctuary in the Amano household.

Over the next three years, the Yatagarasu cracked down on the smuggling ring's American allied companies one by one, stealing evidence from them and sending it to the media. However, the spy "Calisto


of being the Yatagarasu during the trial, so that Faraday would be removed from being the prosecutor for the case and forced into meeting with Rell for negotiations. This gave "Calisto" the perfect opportunity to kill both Rell and Faraday, and she took it. Manny Coachen visited the District Court to watch the trial unfold and result in Faraday's murder at the spy's hands. "Calisto" retrieved the Yatagarasu's Key and escaped from the courthouse. Deid Mann and the Yatagarasu were thus neutralized as threats to the smuggling ring. Nonetheless, Tyrell Badd continued his long search for the traitor.

For the next seven years, the smuggling ring continued its activities nearly unabated. During this time, Cohdopia succumbed to civil conflict and split into Allebahst and Babahl, and Alba ensured thatevidence from before the conflict that could be used against him was destroyed. Additionally, the ring's counterfeiting activities in Zheng Fa threw its economy into chaos. In response, an Interpol contingent led by Zheng Fa native Shi-Long Lang began to crack down on exports of Babahlese ink, which fueled the counterfeiting operation, and gathered any evidence they could to track down the ringleader. However, the spy "Calisto" was planted within Lang's ranks as his top assistant Shih-na.

In March of 2019, several events that would be instrumental in bringing down Quercus Alba were set into motion. On the 12th, prosecutor Miles Edgeworth was embroiled in the fight between Interpol and the smuggling ring when he investigated the murder of Interpol Agent Akbey Hicks on iFly AirlinesFlight I-390. Edgeworth exposed


one of the stewardesses there, Cammy Meele, as an agent of the smuggling ring and Hicks's killer. Shortly afterward, the son of the Amano Group's CEO Ernest Amano was kidnapped, and Shi-Long Lang saw his big break against the Amano Group. Eventually, the kidnapping turned out to have been faked, and Colin Devorae was found dead, turning the investigation into a homicide investigation. Ernest Amano eventually tried to obstruct the investigation when his son was implicated as the killer, and so he was arrested. However, prosecutor Jacques Portsman, another agent of the ring, took over Amano's trial. Nonetheless, that night, Portsman was arrested himself after Miles Edgeworth found that he had murdered detective Buddy Faith. After that, Amano's interrogation led to the seizure of the video that hadgone missing from the KG-8 Incident.

Meanwhile, all was not well within the smuggling ring's ranks. Manny Coachen craved more power and began to make his move to usurp Quercus Alba. This involved organizing a goodwill event between the Allebahstian and Babahlese embassies in the United States and having each country's copy of the Primidux Statue tested to determine which one was the real statue. Whichever country had the real statue would gain much political clout in an eventual reunion, and Coachen intended to obtain the real statue so that Babahlese ambassador Colias Palaeno would become the ambassador of Cohdopia, ousting Alba from his position of power. Unfortunately for Coachen, Alba found out about the treachery when his second-in-command kept some of the smuggled goods for himself. Alba dealt


with the problem by devising a strategy with Shih-na to kill Coachen and fool the inevitable police presence into believing that the Yatagarasu had returned to kill the leader of the smuggling ring. To cover up his activities, Alba switched the fake Babahlese statue that contained the plate used for making counterfeit bills with the genuine Allebahstian version. He then killed a thief that Coachen had hired to steal the real statue.

However, Alba's elaborate plan failed. Miles Edgeworth, Shi-Long Lang and Franziska von Karma were able to figure out the truth behind the various events that the plan caused, and they tracked down Shih-na, finally ending the legend of the Yatagarasu, before going after Alba. This led to a long standoff at the Theatrum Neutralis between the twoembassies, in which Edgeworth picked apart Alba's excuses while Lang secured Alba's removal from ambassadorship and others gathered evidence for Edgeworth. Alba lost the confrontation and was arrested for both murders.

On March 17, Alba and Amano stood trial in American courtrooms for their respective crimes, prosecuted by Miles Edgeworth, and a week later Alba was tried again in the newly reunited Cohdopia, prosecuted by Franziska von Karma. Meanwhile, the counterfeiting operation in Zheng Fa was completely flushed out, freeing the country from the smuggling ring's control. Now leaderless, elements of the ring began to fight with each other for leadership. Shi-Long Lang organized an operation to track down the rest of the ring. The smuggling ring's influence had completely disappeared from Zheng Fa by March 25, 2019, when


Zheng Fa's president, Teikun Ō, visited Gourd Lake.

Alba's smuggling ring was a very large operation, of which Miles Edgeworth saw only a fraction as he was tracking down its leader. The ring used its Babahlese ink "exports" to make counterfeit currency bills in Zheng Fa that were virtually indistinguishable from their genuine counterparts. The best way to tell them apart was to burn them, as whitcrystal oil burns green. The ring also caused trouble for several other countries through their thefts of valuable artifacts such as the Alif Red statue.

The smuggling operations were conducted by planting agents within airline companies including iFly Airlines. For example, Cammy Meele used her job as a flight attendant to forge cargo documents and ensure that smuggled cargo successfully reached its destination. TheAmano Group and other companies under the ring's control facilitated these efforts, putting their numerous worldwide connections and resources at the crime syndicate's disposal. To protect these companies, agents were also planted in the countries' legal systems. In Los Angeles, district prosecutor Jacques Portsman was given the job of ensuring that cases regarding the ring either never went to trial or were dismissed due to lack of evidence. He accomplished this by making vital evidence "disappear".

Other, more specialized roles included the following:

Calisto Yew/Shih-na - Under her cover as "Calisto Yew", she had two tasks, firstly to aid the smuggling ring in court in her cover as a defense attorney, and secondly to spy on Byrne Faraday and Tyrell Badd so that they never got too close to the


truth. As Shih-na, she took advantage of her cover as Shi-Long Lang's assistant to control the information Interpol acquired about the smuggling ring and to provide her real boss with information on the law enforcement agency.

Manny Coachen - The second-in-command of the smuggling ring was tasked with smuggling massive amounts of Babahlese ink out of the country for use in forged bills. He was also given the task of silencing at least one witness.

Quercus Alba - The leader and mastermind of the smuggling ring, Alba used his underlings to protect his crime syndicate and himself, as well as profiting from the operation. However, he was more than willing to sacrifice some of his underlings to protect himself, as was the case when the Yatagarasu ravaged the ring's puppetits 1099-MISC tax forms for the sales representatives who worked in New York during the 2011 calendar year. Marchon failed to appear at the next hearing and failed to produce, as directed by the Administrative Law Judge (hereinafter the ALJ), the 2011 1099-MISC tax forms for its New York sales representatives; instead, Marchon submitted in writing a spreadsheet document purporting to contain Marchon's 2011 1099-MISC information for all of its sales representatives nationwide. By decision filed November 21, 2013, the ALJ overruled Marchon's objections and sustained the Department's initial determination.
Marchon's subsequent application to reopen and reconsider the ALJ's decision was granted by the Unemployment Insurance Appeal Board to consider Marchon's challenge to the ALJ's findings, which were ultimately affirmed by the Board. The Board found that, although Marchon


Ray Tensing Police Shooting Case Goes To A Jury, For The Second Time

Former University of Cincinnati police officer Ray Tensing, left, faces a murder charge over the death of Sam DuBose. Tensing is seen here during his retrial Friday at the Hamilton County Courthouse in Cincinnati.

Cara Owsley

For the second time in eight months, the fate of former University of Cincinnati police officer Ray Tensing is in the hands of a jury over the fatal shooting of black motorist Sam DuBose. A previous trial ended in a deadlocked panel, and a mistrial.

As in the earlier trial, Tensing, 27, faces murder and manslaughter charges over his killing of DuBose in July of 2015. The police officer had pulled DuBose over because the car he was driving was missing itsfront license plate.

As we reported last fall:

"Body-cam footage of the shooting created an uproar after it showed that Tensing, who is white, engaged in a brief struggle with DuBose before firing his pistol into the car. Seconds before, the two had been discussing whether DuBose had a license, and whether he should take off his seatbelt.

"When he announced that Tensing had been indicted for murder less than two weeks after the fatal traffic stop, Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters called the officer's actions 'asinine' and 'totally unwarranted.' "

Tensing took the witness stand in his own defense on Friday, delivering tearful testimony in which he said he had fired his weapon "to stop the threat," not intending to kill DuBose. As member station WVXU reports, Tensing said he has


thought about the encounter "millions of times" in the past two years.

From WVXU:

"Tensing said Sam DuBose's demeanor – acting evasive and stalling when asked questions – made him think 'something else is going on here.'

"As the incident unfolded, Tensing said, he believed his arm was pinned between DuBose's and the steering wheel. He felt himself falling and the car moving into him, he testified. Then he perceived he was being dragged."

It could be several days before we learn the outcome of this trial. In the earlier trial, the jury began deliberations on a Wednesday but after the jurors were unable to agree on a verdict, a mistrial was declared on Saturday, Nov. 12.

Seeking to give the jury another option in the current trial, prosecutors asked Hamilton County Judgejob.”

The days of applauding Mueller, however, may soon be over, as the Special Counsel appears to have left the question of Russian collusion behind in favor of the question of whether President Trump obstructed justice when he fired former FBI Director James Comey. Comey testified to Congress last year that after Trump had fire him, he had leaked memoranda to the media specifically to prompt the appointment of a special counsel to probe Trump.

Dowd is well-regarded in Beltway legal circles. However, last September, he committed a major error when he and Cobb discussed the Mueller investigation openly at an outdoor table at a popular Washington, DC, restaurant. The conversation was overheard by New York Times reporter Ken Vogel, who happened to be seated at the next table.

Rotary washing machine. This large, power-driven rotary washing machine and spinner was used at J. J. Lane Ltd, the public laundry in Abbey Street, Bethnal Green. The borough council opened the laundry in 1898. The building also included a public washhouse, which had a separate entrance in Cheshire Street. Such facilities provided local residents who had no running water at home with a place to bathe and wash their clothes. This machine is belt-driven and has an hydro-extractor and spinner with motor.


The crowd gathered spontaneously after word spread of the police shooting. As the crowd grew in size and intensity, the police retreated. Some in the crowd threw objects at police vehicles and torched a car. One cop was sent to the hospital after reportedly being hit with a brick.

At 10 p.m., a BP gas station was set on fire and burned to the ground while about 100 people watched from the intersection of Sherman Boulevard and Burleigh Street. Bus shelters at the intersection were all turned over and dragged into the street. Several rounds were fired into the air from people in the area.

A short time later and a few blocks away, a Beauty store was set on fire, the windows of a bank were broken, and anrefused to press charges against the cop, but sustained mass protests and a freeway shutdown with over 70 arrests ensured the killer cop lost his job and benefits.

In 2011, 22-year-old Derek Williams suffocated and died while handcuffed in an MPD squad car, begging officers to help him breathe. Video of the incident shows officers joking and refusing to help for nine minutes, until his death. Juries recommended charges against three officers, but none were ever charged.

Sherman Park protests

The rebellion sparked by the killing near Sherman Park on Aug. 13 comes after months of escalated police harassment in the area. On June 29, the Milwaukee Police Department incited a crowd of young people in the park to throw rocks at police. Cops were seen in riot gear, harassing groups


of kids for things such as playing music from their phones. The incident made headlines, and the next day, dozens of community leaders and politicians came to the park in an attempt to de-escalate both the police and the youth. Again witnesses said cops were harassing and provoking people, including those who were in the park trying to de-escalate the situation.

On July 19, a gas station attendant at the BP gas station across from Sherman Park fired his gun in the air to scare a group of kids away from the store. The next day, there was an all-day protest outside the BP calling for a boycott of the store by the Black community.

It is no coincidence that after the killing on Saturday, Aug. 13, police cars weretarget of deepening U.S. security concerns over its ties to the Chinese government.

"Such a move ignores the law and is unreasonable, unconscionable, and vile in nature," Le said in the


statement.

"China strongly urges the Canadian side to immediately release the detained Huawei executive ... or face grave consequences that the Canadian side should be held accountable for," Le said.

A Canadian prosecutor urged a Vancouver court to deny bail to Meng, whose case is shaking up U.S.-China relations and worrying global financial markets.

Meng, also the daughter of Huawei's founder, was detained at the request of the U.S. during a layover at the Vancouver airport Dec. 1 — the same day that Presidents Trump and Xi Jinping of China agreed over dinner to a 90-day ceasefire in a trade dispute that threatens to disrupt global commerce.

The U.S. alleges that Huawei used a Hong Kong shell company to sell equipment in Iran in violation of U.S. sanctions. It also says thatMeng and Huawei misled American banks about its business dealings in Iran.

The surprise arrest raises doubts about whether the trade truce will hold and whether the world's two biggest economies can resolve the complicated issues that divide them.

Canadian prosecutor John Gibb-Carsley said in a court hearing Friday that a warrant had been issued for Meng's arrest in New York Aug. 22. He said Meng, arrested en route to Mexico from Hong Kong, was aware of the investigation and had been avoiding the United States for months, even though her teenage son goes to school in Boston.

Gibb-Carsley alleged that Huawei had done business in Iran through a Hong Kong company called Skycom. Meng, he said, had misled U.S. banks into thinking that Huawei and Skycom were separate when, in


Flyers' first goal midway through the first period. "Bob stepped up for us tonight."

Claude Giroux scored on a great deke for the only shootout goal for either team.

Giroux deflected the praise to Bobrovsky.

"In practice, no one can score on him," Giroux said. "Obviously, we have a lot of confidence in him in the shootout. I get mad at him, actually, in practice because I can't score on him. . . . You saw how good he is, and he's patient."

Bobrovsky made two stops in the shootout, and Kris Versteeg lost the puck as he tried to make a move.

At the break, the Flyers are just three points behind the first-place New York Rangers in the Atlantic Division. They have stayed in the race despite a slew of injuriesshootout for the Flyers, who lost, 6-5, to Boston on Sunday with Bryzgalov in the nets. They have a 20-37 lifetime record in shootouts, including a 1-3 mark this season.

The Flyers played textbook defense in the second period, rarely allowing the Panthers to get a cycle working.

But Florida capitalized on the Flyers' lone defensive breakdown of the period and tied the score at 2 with 4 minutes, 20 seconds remaining in the second.

Caught out of position, the Flyers allowed the Panthers to break into the zone on a two-on-none. Former Flyer Versteeg waited, waited, waited . . . and then went past the goal and to the goal line, drawing Bobrovsky with him. Versteeg then dropped a back pass to Fleischmann, alone in front. Fleischmann spun around and


put a backhander into the net, which was empty because Bobrovsky had overcommitted to Versteeg.

The Panthers, who slipped into second place behind Washington in the Southeast Division, took a 1-0 lead when Mikael Samuelsson blasted a shot past Bobrovsky on the power play after 2:49 of the first period. Bobrovsky had just made a pair of great stops against Stephen Weiss, but the rebound went to defenseman Brian Campbell, who sent a quick pass back to Samuelsson.

About eight minutes later, Schenn's shot flipped in the air and went off the back of goalie Scott Clemmensen and into the net. It crossed the goal line as the net was knocked off its moorings, causing a long video review.

The war room in Toronto ruled that the call on the icewould stand, so Schenn - whose father, Jeff, was at the game as part of the team's fathers-sons trip - was credited with his third goal, and the game was tied, 1-1. The goal made the Flyers 6 for 14 on the power play in their last three games.

"It's always nice to score in front of your dad," Schenn said.

The Flyers took a 2-1 lead as Jakub Voracek tipped in Tom Sestito's backhander from the right circle with 2:01 left in the opening period. It was Sestito's first point in five career games with the Flyers.

WhatWarren Haynes and Michael McDonald have set up a tour to pay tribute to The Band and the other musicians that came together in San Francisco for the legendary Last Waltz concert at Winterland in November of 1976. The short tour developed after a one-off peformance of the material by the participating musicians during the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Fest. McDonald called that performance unforgettable and said doing it made him realize they were "...celebrating something truly special' that he was honored to have a role in." Haynes describes the music performed that night in San Francisco, "...as soulful, relevant and powerful today as it was 40 years ago", and adds, "We can't wait to carry on the legacy of these songs for fans."

Right after President Donald Trump was given a clean bill of physical and mental health by Navy Rear Admiral Dr. Ronny Jackson at a White House press conference on Tuesday and on the heels of a rebuke by the APA, Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) abruptly canceled a town meeting on Trump’s mental health. Raskin’s office and an invited speaker claimed without providing evidence the meeting was the target of threats of violence.

Dr. Bandy X. Lee is scheduled to speak in Berkeley, California, Wednesday evening. (Typo in promo image incorrectly says Thursday)

The town meeting, which was set to feature two people leading the charge to have Trump forcibly removed from office due to alleged mental instability, Yale professor Dr. Bandy X. Lee and Harvard professor Dr. James Gilligan, wasbeen finalized or publicly announced when it was called off Wednesday, and also said that Raskin’s desire to focus on tax policy also played a role in the cancellation.

Lee also told the Yale Daily News that the meeting was canceled due to threats.

Lee made national headlines in January after she briefed congressmen on Trump’s mental state, arguing that the president is a danger to society. Last Wednesday, Lee met with around 45 Democrats at the Washington, D.C. home of U.S. Rep. Rosa DeLauro, D-New Haven, marking her second such gathering with lawmakers. Since the news broke of the meeting, Lee told the News, she has received death threats at a level that makes her fear “mob violence.” According to Lee, the offices of DeLauro and U.S. Rep. Jamie

Con artist Anna Sorokin took the phrase "fake it 'til you make it" to another level.

The broke 28-year-old Russian was constantly making claims that she had access to wealth. One day, she was supposed to be a wealthy German heiress. Other days, she claimed to be the daughter of a diplomat, an oil baron or a solar panel entrepreneur. Other days, she simply boasted about having access to a $60 million fortune.

And the fabricated claims worked: they thrust her into a lifestyle that she sought to live, but could not afford. Sorokin wound up living a lavish lifestyle in New York for nearly 10 months, despite being broke. Prosecutors claim that Sorokin has "not a cent to her name, as far as we can tell". She's been inshe stole an aggregate of $275,000 from friends, banks and hotels in New York City over 10 months, using the name Anna Delvey. She allegedly lived large in luxury hotels, promised a friend a trip to Morocco and stiffed her on the $62,000 bill and handed over bogus bank statements to try and secure a massive loan.

She also routinely tipped Uber drivers and hotel concierges $100 bills "in an effort to show she belonged in high society".

Jurors were shown emails between Sorokin and the bank this week, showing how she became increasingly unavailable as the bank began to ask for their money back. Her lawyers claim she was "easily seduced by glamour and glitz," but that she had intentions of paying back any money she borrowed.

Top 20 Geek Books

By Perry Middlemiss on December 2, 2005 1:32 PM

Back in early November "The Guardian" ran a poll of readers to determine the top 20 geek books written in English since 1932. This list has been doing the rounds of the litblogs lately, with the bloggers indicating which of the books they had read by "emboldening" the titles. The results and my entries are given below.

Which says more about my lifetime's reading patterns than anything else probably.

Of the unread books, Stephenson's books were published as follows: Snow Crash 1992, The Diamond Age 1995, and Cryptonomicon 1999; the Gaiman dates from 2001, the Coupland from 1995, with the oldest being The Illuminatus trilogy from 1975.

There are reasons for this. Until the early 1980s I basically read alldriving of a vehicle.
Particularly, in a case where a large-displacement movement of the propeller shaft 27 occurs in sudden start or acceleration of the vehicle, the center bearing bush unit 20 does not effectively reduce the amount of movement of the propeller shaft 27, and hence the movement of the propeller shaft 27 is transmitted to a vehicle body as it is. Therefore, the ride comfort of the vehicle is deteriorated, and the fatigue degree of the center bearing bush unit 20 is increased, thereby deteriorating the durability of the center bearing bush unit 20.
Accordingly, Korean Patent Application Publication No. 2011-38505 has disclosed a center bearing bush unit for a propeller shaft in order to decrease large- and small-displacement movements of the propeller shaft.

LONDON (Reuters) - LexisNexis, a provider of legal, regulatory and business information, said on Tuesday it had withdrawn two products from the Chinese market in March this year after it was asked to remove some content.

The issue of academic freedom in China hit the headlines this week after the leading British academic publisher, Cambridge University Press, said it had complied with a request to block online access to some scholarly articles in China.

It later reversed its position.

“Earlier this year LexisNexis Business Insight Solutions in China was asked to remove some content from its database,” LexisNexis said in a statement. “In March 2017, the company withdrew two products (Nexis and LexisNexis Academic) from the Chinese market.”

LexisNexis is owned by information group Relx.Jillian Mercado, a fashion blogger by trade, is gracing the ads of two high-fashion brands this season. Mercado's edgy personal style is eye-catching, but her rise is surprising consumers and fashionistas alike for a more inspirational reason — the 23-year-old model rocks her distinctive look from a wheelchair and just may be changing the fashion industry at the same time.

Mercado was diagnosed with spastic muscular dystrophy and has been using a wheelchair since age 12. Born and raised in New York City, Mercado graduated from the Fashion Institute of Technology and has quickly become an influential fashion figure in New York City, an executive editorial director for We the Urban magazine and manages her own highly followed blog.

When former Lady Gaga stylist Nicola Formichetti posted on


his Facebook that he was looking for culturally representative models for his Diesel campaign, Mercado said she and her friends joined as a "joke." That joke turned into a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Mercado as the casting agency requested more photos and eventually booked her for the campaign.

"You all have no idea how speechless I am right now," Mercado wrote on her blog when she saw her Deisel campaign. "Thank you for giving me a chance of a lifetime and believing in me. This is beyond everything."

Just a few months after those images were released and widely circulated in fashion magazines like Vogue, Mercado landed her second gig. This time it involved sporting threads for Nordstrom's summer catalog.

More recently, a JCPenney store in New York City was lauded for its display of "real size mannequins" modeled after people of diverse body sizes and shapes, including a plus-size mom and also an Army veteran who lost part of his legs.

Hopefully, we'll be seeing more of these campaigns in the future. We're almost certainly going to be seeing more of Mercado, who said she recently signed to a modeling agency and has some more things "in the works." Follow her journey on her Instagram.

If I was in a room with her for an hour, and excused myself for a minute, when I returned she had no idea I had been with her. She was that way for the last four years of her life.

On the other hand, my father, John Perloff, who died in 2013, one month short of his 100th birthday, never got a flu short. His memory was crystal-clear; even at 99 he could remember and describe Charles Lindbergh flying overhead in 1927.

(Reuters) - Federal appeals courts in the states of Washington and Virginia are set to hear arguments this week on the legality of President Donald Trump’s most recent travel ban, which sharply limits visitors and immigrants from eight countries, six of them Muslim-majority.

Slideshow ( 3 images )

Challengers, including the state of Hawaii and immigrant advocacy organizations and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), argue the ban is discriminatory and violates the U.S. Constitution. The Trump administration says it is necessary to protect the United States from terrorist attacks.

The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which is based in San Francisco, will hold a hearing in Seattle, Washington on Dec. 6 and the Richmond, Virginia-based 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has its hearing on Dec. 8.

Soon after takingoffice in January, Trump signed an order temporarily barring all refugees and visitors from seven predominately Muslim countries. The decision led to chaos at airports and numerous legal challenges and the administration eventually replaced it with a second, somewhat narrower order.

When the second ban expired in September, Trump replaced it with a presidential proclamation indefinitely restricting travel from Iran, Libya, Syria, Yemen, Somalia, Chad, North Korea and barring certain government officials from Venezuela.

The administration said the restrictions were put in place after a worldwide review of each country’s ability to issue reliable passports and share data with the United States.

After the most recent order was issued, the same challengers who sued to stop the earlier bans went back to court. They said the new version still discriminated against

Nonfarm payrolls fell by 85,000 in December. Official unemployment held steady at 10%, average hourly earnings climbed by 0.2%, and average weekly hours worked held at 33.2. The "real" unemployment rate, which counts discouraged workers and those working fewer hours than they want, rose slightly to 17.3% from 17.2% in November.

Most of the job loss came in the goods-producing sectors of the economy where construction employment fell by 53,000 and manufacturing jobs dropped by 27,000. Jobs in the service sector fell by just 4,000.

The bad news in these two reports is obvious. The consumer sector of the economy, which makes up about two-thirds of all economic activity, isn’t showing signs that it will produce strong growth in 2010. And manufacturing activity, which had looked strong in recent surveys,

Jamie Drake creates a sexy black bathroom for a New York townhouse.

In this powder room, adjacent to the large dining room in a New York City townhouse, designer Jamie Drake (www.drakedesignassociates.com) covered half the walls in graphite gray Venetian plaster, which he had polished to a very high sheen; the other half are lined in gold-backed white glass mosaic tile. Drake fashioned a sink from a 19th-century Turkish marble basin, and set it into a custom-designed base of ebonized wood with polished nickel straps and a marble top. The overall effect? As dramatic as midnight. And while shiny black walls might overwhelm a larger room, they are perfect in this 48-square-foot space.

West Bengal ragging death: School restoration soon

Kolkata: Restoration of the school vandalised by irate parents and local people after the September 11 death of a minor girl allegedly after being ragged by seniors will begin soon, an official of the Church of North India said on Monday.

The Christ Church School, in which Oindrila Das, a Class 5 student, was allegedly ragged brutally at Dum Dum in North 24-Parganas district, is run by the church.

Oindrila died a week after she was allegedly locked up inside the school toilet by senior students who demanded money from her.

A day after her death, hundreds of people -- mostly parents and guardians -- ransacked the 131-year-old school, and forced principal Helen Sircar to resign.

Hours later, Sircar was arrested and had to spend threedays in police custody.

Over a dozen people have been arrested so far for the vandalism that resulted in the loss of valuable documents and certificates pertaining to board exams of Class 10 and 12 students of the school, affiliated to the West Bengal Council of Higher Secondary Education.

The school has been closed since then.

"The managing committee of the school has assessed the damage, and restoration of its infrastructure will begin in a day or two. The committee formed by the West Bengal Association of Christian Schools (WBACS) is looking into it and a team will be there anytime," Abir Adhikari of the Calcutta Diocese of the Church of North India told a news agency.

An independent inquiry committee (as well as a monitoring panel) was instituted to look into


all the allegations in the matter. The probe will also decide when the school would re-open and whether Sircar (who had accused the police of inaction while people ransacked the school) would be reinstated as principal.

"Probe is on... we can`t say anything about it at the moment," said Adhikari.

The protest march that the Calcutta Diocese of the Church of North India had earlier announced it would hold on September 26 has been put off.

"It has been withdrawn... postponed," Adhikari said.

The West Bengal Human Rights Commission expressed "serious concern" over the events and directed the state home secretary to order a probe.

"The investigation will probe the death of the student, vandalism of the school by guardians and outsiders, police inaction and the principal`s arrest," said a WBHRC official.

A five-memberdelegation of the Calcutta Diocese of the Church of North India on September 19 met West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee while around 1,000 Christian schools in the state were shut to protest the ransacking and police inaction during the vandalism.

The delegation sought protection of minority-run institutions in the state.

Counties which subsequent to the establishment of the junior college joined the district shall have only two trustees, one of whom shall be the county superintendent of education. However, the board of trustees so constituted, by appropriate resolution, may enlarge its number to six trustees from each county, in which case one shall be the county superintendent of education and there shall be one chosen from each supervisors district. In any case in which there is an equal number of trustees, the board of trustees may appoint another person to membership.

The board of supervisors shall elect the requisite number of discreet persons of good moral character, sufficienteducation and experience, and of proven interest in public education, who are qualified electors of the county, as trustees of the junior college; annually thereafter the board of supervisors in like manner shall fill vacancies.[2]
It is the plaintiffs' contention that this statute, as applied to determine the composition of the board of trustees of the Northeast Mississippi Junior College District, violates rights afforded them as citizens of Alcorn County under the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the extent that representation of the board is not apportioned according to the financial contribution, the total population, or the student population of the constituent counties of the district.
Pursuant to the above-quoted statute, six members of the board of trustees of Northeast Junior College are residents of Prentiss County,


which is the county in which the college is situate and which was the only county which originally established the college and contributed financial support. The counties of Alcorn, Union, and Tippah each have two representatives on the board of trustees. The remaining county, Tishomingo, has three trustees on the board by virtue of the portion of the statute which allows the board of trustees to appoint an additional member in any district which has an even number of trustees upon its board. Plaintiffs complain that this composition of the board, with Prentiss County having three times the *394 number of board representatives as Alcorn County, is violative of the Equal Protection Clause in that during the past ten years, Alcorn County has annually contributed approximately twenty percentholding in Hadley discloses that plaintiffs' reliance upon it is misplaced. Here the State of Mississippi has not decided to select the trustees of the junior college districts by popular election; rather, Mississippi has empowered the board of supervisors of the constituent counties with the authority to appoint the members of the board of trustees of the junior college districts.[3]
In all its decisions on the one person, one vote issue, the Supreme Court has never suggested that the principle of equal representation should be extended to appointive governmental officials or agencies. The majority opinion in Hadley provides what is apparently the current position of the Court on this issue.

Most wars are fought to protect, consolidate and expand the bankers’ fraudulent money monopoly. The Bolshevik Revolution was a ruse by the Cabalist Jewish bankers to destroy the only remaining country that posed a threat to their worldwide credit monopoly. Created in 1860, the State Bank of the Russian Empire created money almost debt and interest free. Contrary to the image spread by the Masonic Jewish Western media, pre-revolutionary Russia was thriving.

By 1914, very little land remained in the possession of the Russian estate owners… 80% of arable land was in the hands of the peasants, which had been ceded to them for a very


Drug prescribing in hospital as experienced by general practitioners: East versus West Germany.
Drugs prescribed by the general practitioner (GP) are often changed during hospitalization. This study set out to test the hypothesis that the extent of drug change and the information provided by the hospital determines the GPs' assessment of hospital co-operation. The perception of drug change and hospital co-operation may also be influenced by the degree of institutional separation of primary and secondary care. Therefore we compared GPs' respective attitudes in 'East' and 'West' Germany. In 1993, a representative sample of 'eastern' and 'western' German doctors received a structured questionnaire; 554 doctors (63%) participated. Fifty-seven per cent of the western and 39% of the eastern GPs believed that their medication was changed in hospital in more thanPartner

close sometime between early March and early April, according to Sears Holdings. Liquidation sales at Orland Park and dozens of other stores slated to close could start as soon as Friday, according to the company.

While the mall itself is owned and operated by Simon Property Group, Seritage Growth Properties, a real estate investment trust, controls the nearly 200,000-square-foot spot where Sears is located.

Last October, Seritage announced plans to develop a 10-screen 45,000-square-foot AMC Theatre along with retailers and restaurant tenants on the upper level of the Sears space, with their main entrances facing out toward the parking lot, with Sears consolidating store operations in the lower level.

With Sears’ announcement it is closing the Orland location, redevelopment will be expanded to include both upper and lower levels, but plansof the brand carried at Sears.

Once the Orland Square location closes, that will leave two Sears stores in the south and southwest suburbs — Chicago Ridge and Joliet — although the retailer has outlet stores in Bridgeview and Tinley Park.

A Sears department store at Matteson’s Lincoln Mall closed in 2012, while the retailer shuttered its store at River Oaks Center in Calumet City in 2013.

Although no local Kmart stores are on the current list, Sears Holdings has been closing stores locally in recent years, including Oak Lawn and Tinley Park. Locally, Kmart has two stores, in Bridgeview and Steger.

At the end of its fiscal third quarter, which ended Oct. 28, Sears Holdings operated 594 Sears outlets and 510 Kmarts in the U.S., almost 400 fewer stores compared with


liberties. And that's for one big reason: The jobs picture has largely continued the trends from late in the Obama administration. In his first six months, the economy under Trump has indeed added more than 1 million new jobs - 1.07 million, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. But in the last six months under Obama, the economy added slightly more jobs than that - 1.08 million. And if anything, the average jobs growth under Trump is actually slightly slower than it was in Obama's final years:

Trump's first six months: 179,000 jobs per month

Obama's final year (2016): 187,000

Obama's full second term: 209,000

As The Post's Philip Bump noted after last month's jobs report, what we've seen looks more like a continuation of a strong trend that Trump inheritedof Michigan has been tracking consumer sentiment since 1952, and it's actually currently at a nine-month low. It did reach a 13-year high (not 16-year) under Trump this year, but it had already approached that high under Obama, and it's basically been around the same level for years, with a new peak and then a downturn under Trump.

And it's not just the University of Michigan. Gallup, which regularly measures economic confidence, also shows it dropping to levels similar to late in the Obama administration after peaking early under Trump.

The latest addition to the electronic newspaper resources available to British Library readers is one that we're particularly pleased to have secured, the Rand Daily Mail. Published from 1902 to 1985, the South African daily newspaper was renowned for its anti-Apartheid stance, with notable coverage of the Sharpeville massacre, the Soweto uprising and the death of Steve Biko. Closed down in controversial circumstances in 1985, the entire newspaper is being digitised and made available by research materials service Readex. Happily the British Library is making the entire archive available for remote access to anyone with a Reader's Pass.

The Rand Daily Mail's renowned African Affairs Reporter, Benjamin Pogrund, wrote recently on the Readex blog about the significance of the newspaper and its archive:

The RandDaily Mail was ahead of its time in reporting and exposing apartheid evils and in opposing oppressive government. This is why it was shut down.

The Mail was always a contradictory newspaper: although owned by mining interests from its start in 1902, it was known for siding with the underdog â which, for the first two-thirds of its existence, meant the white underdog.

That changed in 1957 when Laurence Gandarâa quiet, reserved manâbecame editor. Little was expected from him except professional journalism. But he proved to have radical ideas and compassion, and he had an inner core of steel. Gandar dissected apartheid with deep and brilliant writing that electrified the country.

Gandar took his pioneering into the news columns, assembling a staff of journalists whose political views stretched from left to


right but who shared a commitment to fair and honest reporting, investigation and robust comment. The newspaper became the pacesetter in illuminating dark corners of South Africa and gave hope to blacks by pointing to a new direction for the country. It transformed itself, the rest of the Press and deeply influenced the political scene.

The board of (white) directors soon turned against Gandar and in time got rid of him. His successor, Raymond Louw, made his own singular contribution: he invested the Mail with a tough news sense while retaining its policy strength.

Integral to this was that the Mail turned the newspaper adage, âWhen in doubt, leave out,â on its head. Instead, as the authoritarian governmentâs restrictions grew on free publication, the newspaper sought to get as muchhave Reader's Pass (information on obtaining such a Pass is here). Other titles available in this way include:

Welcome to the latest edition of theSt Pancras Intelligencer, our weekly round-up of news about news - stories about news production, publications, apps, digitised resources, events and what is happening with the newspaper collection (and other news collections) at the British Library.

Restaurant review: My first reaction was âwowâ: The most heartening news story of the week has been the unpretentious review by student Holly Aston of her local Pizza Express for the Peterborough Telegraph. It rapidly went viral, not because people were laughing at it but because they recognised its charm. She has now been offered work experience by the Daily Mirror.

News from the community: The Newsroom blog looks at hyperlocal news websites, seeing parallels in their short history with the history of early newspapers, and announces plans for archiving them by the British


Library.

Comic, Curious and Quirky: The British Library has just published Comic, Curious and Quirky News Stories from Centuries Past, by Rona Levin, a collection of bizarre and humorous stories taken from British newspapers from the 1700s to the 1900s.

Trove Traces: Trove Traces brings together some of the thousands of webpages that include links to articles in the National Library of Australia's Trove database (including its newspaper archive). A marvellous way of showing how a digital resource gives birth to so much scholarship and sharing of information.

News for the Minecraft generation: American media company Gannett, in partnership with the Des Moines Register, is experimenting with turning news stories into virtual reality experiences, using the Oculus Rift headset. First up is a tour of an Iowa farm rather than anythingtoo contentiously dramatic or controversial.

Why do the best jobs go to men?: Eleanor Mills at British Journalism Review calls for greater opportunities to be given to women in newspapers (the last woman to edit a daily broadsheet was Rosie Boycott at The Independent from January to April 1998).

'F*** it, I quit': Charlo Greene, a reporter for Anchorage's KTVA, dramatically quit live on air (to the delight of the online world) following an item on marijuana saying that she was leaving to focus on marijuana legalisation in Alaska. She explains why to Huffington Post (which has the clip).

In an interview with Slate, BuzzFeed boss Jonah Peretti explains why (they were "technically broken, not sourced to our current standards, not worth improving or saving because the content isnât very good") and says it's because they were originally a tech company not a journalistic one, though they are a journalistic one now.

The weird new future of news: New York-based discussion site The Awl reports that NowThisNews is looking to place its fleeting news reports to the apps of others. It reproduces some alarming examples of what a 90-second news briefing from NowThis News on Snapchat, the messaging service which deletes messages once they have been read, looks like. On the same subject, the Wall Street Journal reports News and ads todebut on Snapchat:

The product would let users read daily editions of publications as well as watch video clips of TV shows or movies by holding down a finger on the screen, like they do with photos and other messages on the app before disappearing.

The Illustrated First World War: Illustrated London News Ltd has launched a handsomely-designed website featuring 1914-1918 archive material from the Illustrated London News, with other titles in its collection (such as The Graphic, The Sketch and The Sphere) in due course - all free, thanks to a ÂŁ96K Heritage Lottery Fund grant.

The Guardian view of the Cliff Richard search: The controversial reporting by the BBC of a search of Cliff Richard's house is viewed by The Guardian as something that could could reopen issues about


New York Times on how media companies are spinning off newpapers, which could be an indication of bad things for the medium, has been much discussed all week.

The persistent financial demands of Wall Street have trumped the informational needs of Main Street. For decades, investors wanted newspaper companies to become bigger and diversify, so they bought more newspapers and developed television divisions. Now print is too much of a drag on earnings, so media companies are dividing back up and print is being kicked to the curb.

160,000 newspaper pages added from 1787-1954: They continue to go full steam ahead at the British Newspaper Archive, adding 160,000 pages in July, including the London Evening Standard (for some years in the 1860s, please note), Glasgowâs Daily Record and the Surreyout from the newspaper to Samuel Johnson, under the latter's strict instructions:

"The London Chronicle", which was the only newspaper he constantly took in, being brought, the office of reading it aloud was assigned to me. I was diverted by his impatience. He made me pass over so many parts of it, that my task was very easy. He would not suffer one of the petitions to the King about the Middlesex election to be read.

From a later period, here is Harriet Martineau in a letter dated 1 March 1866, while residing in the Lake District, noting comments made about Matthew Arnold in the press:

score, it is because the Al Qaeda forces inside Syria are acting as US proxies in the war for regime-change. They have been armed to the teeth by the CIA and Washington’s Arab allies, particularly Qatar and Saudi Arabia, and unleashed in a brutal sectarian civil war aimed at destroying the country and creating the conditions for the imposition of a US puppet regime.

More broadly, Washington is seeking to whip up Sunni Islamist forces throughout the region in a sectarian-based conflict directed at weakening the influence of Shia-majority Iran and preparing a war against this oil-rich country of 76 million.

The alliance between Washington and Al Qaeda in Syria was prefigured by a similar relationship established in last year’s US-NATO war to overthrow the regime of Col. Muammar Gaddafi“war on terrorism” as an utter fraud.

US imperialism has come full circle to support Al Qaeda, the Islamist terrorist organization that it initially fostered in the 1980s war to oust the pro-Soviet regime in Afghanistan, when Osama bin Laden collaborated intimately with the CIA. While claiming to fight terrorism, Washington is backing a terrorist war in Syria replete with suicide bombers, car bomb attacks on civilian neighborhoods and sectarian death squads.

Of course, earlier claims that the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq were being waged to eliminate Al Qaeda were themselves lies. In Afghanistan, US military and intelligence officials readily acknowledge that there is virtually no Al Qaeda presence, and in Iraq, US imperialism intervened to overthrow a secular regime that was a bitter enemy of the Islamist terrorists.

Georg Rehm (The German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence, Berlin): META-NET ProjectLopez muslim

Cristiano ronaldo sometimes used to give salam (greetings for muslims) to mesut ozil he is also very close to his team mate, karim benzema, who is also a practicing muslim although he is very sympathetic towards muslims, he has not converted to islam and is a christian. Jennifer lopez, the famous latina actress and singer has recently accepted the islamic faith she said that she was tired of her previous life – a life full of corruption and sin she took her shahadah (this means she bore witness that there is no god save allah and that muhammad is his messenger) on. On friday february 18, 2011, claire lopez, who is a senior fellow at the center for security policy, gave a speech entitled the muslim brotherhood,


of hamas.

Clare lopez is a former cia officer and rightwing activist who has argued that the muslim brotherhood and a shadowy “iran lobby” are working to shape obama administration policy. Soon after, a beleaguered lopez negotiated with kassir and other leaders that the protest could be relocated outside, to the south plaza by the westin hotel. We are starting the countdown until summer days and getting ready for all that sun and fun times for a little beach inspiration bringing you some of iman's best beach looks. Accordingly, claims lopez, obama has a similar agenda to the late osama bin laden in that he also wants “to remove american power and influence, including military forces, from islamic lands” in the wake of the recent brutal beheading of americanjournalist james foley by isis, lopez said the us needs a long-term strategy in order to deal with the isis threat.

Yes,she is muslim. Given the long history of muslim brotherhood activity in this country, its declared objective to destroy the western civilization from within, and the extensive evidence of successful influence. Lopez noted that the war on terrorism has always been about stopping the spread of shariah islamic law, until obama started to make major changes which clearly supported the muslim brotherhood’s jihadist interests. Jennifer lopez, the famous latina actress and singer has recently accepted the islamic faith she said that she was tired of her previous life – a life full of corruption and sin. Clare lopez: yes, i do think that the iranian people will succeed


in overthrowing this jihad “thug-ocracy” – that was a great to put it, there they have been in the streets demonstrating, protesting and now, more recently, going on strike.

More famous for an assertive booty and occasional nip-slips, jennifer lopez is actually active in both politics and religion raised catholic in the bronx, ny, in a puerto rican family, she also followed santeria, 1 which is a combination of catholicism and west african religions. And, all this while, nearly one-third of the country thought he was a muslim instead of being a cause for concern, this gives me a small sense of joy. Others at pew research center who gave valuable feedback on this report include vice president of global strategy james bell, director of hispanic research mark hugolopez, senior demographer jeffrey passel, senior writer and editor d’vera cohn and senior research methodologist steve schwarzer.

Lopez and frank gaffney, the president of the center for security policy, have both promoted the idea that the executive branch is teeming with muslim brotherhood members and supporters. Lopez’s mother, who was drawn to york’s teachings, moved lopez and her two siblings to york’s brooklyn compound in 1986 about two years later, lopez was groomed and then abused. Clare lopez is a former cia officer, and she is risking her professional career to call out president barack obama in the biggest way possible lopez is well respected in the intelligence community and worked in the reagan white house after two decades in the field with the cia, and as an instructor
