called ISIL) in both countries, as well as al-Qaeda forces. The primary reasons are that ISIS threatens U.S. interests in Iraq and has been slaughtering other rebels in order to take control. Al-Qaeda and its cell which was just hit by an airstrike was an opportune target due to U.S. intelligence of their imminent threat.

ISIS is just one of the rebel groups opposing the Assad regime, but it has gained great power and is the greatest threat to the regime and to other rebel groups. To add to the confusion, the U.S. threatened airstrikes against the Assad regime just last year, until it stopped using chemical weapons under a plan executed by Russia.

There are over 1000 groups known to oppose the Government aka the Assad regime, according tothe BBC, comprising an estimated 100,000 fighters. Their Guide to the Syrian Rebels details the latest groups who have gained power amongst the huge numbers of rebel groups.

To better understand the players, this map indicates who contols what areas of Syria. The major players today are the Assad regime (indicated in pink), ISIS (grey), the Kurds (yellow), and the rest of the rebel groups (green). Challenging the U.S. airstrike strategy is a lack of intelligence in the area and confusion with over a thousand rebel groups fighting for control.

So who are the good guys? Congress approved the training and arming of “moderate” opposition forces aka rebel groups to empower them to fight against ISIS. The politics are murky, and U.S. influence is limited. Who else will these moderates


“Poker is one of the most popular games, being played by gamers for over two centuries. Online Poker, though being a relatively new gaming concept, is also attracting worldwide players due to ease-of-play and convenience.”Hendrikje van Andel-Schipper reached the ripe old age of 115 Continental/AFP/Getty Images

Death is the one certainty in life – a pioneering analysis of blood from one of the world’s oldest and healthiest women has given clues to why it happens.

Born in 1890, Hendrikje van Andel-Schipper was at one point the oldest woman in the world. She was also remarkable for her health, with crystal-clear cognition until she was close to death, and a blood circulatory system free of disease. When she died in 2005, she bequeathed her body to science, with the full support of her living relatives that any outcomes of scientific analysis – as well as her name – be made public.

Researchers have now examined her blood and other tissues to see how they were affected


in price and the rise, too, of the stamp dealer.

The most famous was Edward Stanley Gibbons, son of a Plymouth pharmacist, born six weeks after the penny black. Packages arrived from around Britain and the world at Gibbons's father's shop. As a schoolboy Stanley collected stamps and swapped them with friends. A brief spell as a bank clerk fuelled his hobby by giving him access to even more stamps. He went to work in his father's shop, and was allowed to set up a separate counter to buy and sell stamps. When Gibbons _père_ died in 1867, Stanley sold up and became a full-time stamp dealer, having issued a price list – the embryonic catalogue – from 1864. In 1874 he relocated to Gower Street in London, andwhy trade unionists, socialists from the SDF and the Socialist League, Marxists, Fabians and other leftists were in the square that afternoon: rising unemployment and working conditions were also at issue, the economy still experiencing low growth after the long depression that started in 1873 and continued until 1880. Even more alarming was how many of the demonstrators, perhaps having learned from February 1886, arrived armed with iron bars, knives and lengths of piping.

It was estimated that 30,000 spectators surrounded the square to watch 10,000 protesters marching from all directions. The stars of the socialist and radical movements were there: Morris, Burns, Annie Besant, and even the Fabian Shaw, who demanded the sacking of the Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police for trying to stop the meeting.

is a public official and has to behave as such. That's the gist of socialism as I understand it,' says a character in _The New Machiavelli_. Wells believed Labour should be 'a class party... whose immediate interest is to raise wages, shorten hours of labour, increase employment and make better terms for the working-man tenant and the working-man purchaser.' He said it should stand 'for the expropriated multitude, whose whole situation and difficulty arise from its individual lack of initiative and organising power.' He admitted the mass movement failed to grasp difficulties attendant on nationalisations of land and capital; and therefore doubted that a separate, long-lived Labour party would emerge from 'the huge hospitable caravanserai of Liberalism'. He feared Labour would articulate socialism 'in the entirely one-sided formtheir horses, but they could ill-treat a child with impunity. However, there were also the cases where a parent or guardian had a pecuniary interest in the death of a child – perhaps because the abuser stood to inherit property if the child died, or because its life was insured. As will be discussed in the next chapter in relation to baby-farmers, such people usually caused the child's health to deteriorate until it died. Not only was this now punishable, but if a pecuniary motive could be proved the penalty could be far more severe.

The Bill also allowed for the punishment of adults who sent children out begging, and also prohibited children from working at night as entertainers or in public houses, or as hawkers, bringing these trades


were not obliged to swallow the Budget whole or without mincing. 'The House of Lords means to assert its right to mince,' Churchill jeered in a speech in Edinburgh. He said the Finance Bill could not be amended by the Lords, but would leave the Commons 'in its final form'. He amplified, to continued cheering: 'No amendments, no excision, no modifying or mutilating will be agreed to by us. We will stand no mincing, and unless Lord Lansdowne and his landlordly friends choose to eat their own mince again Parliament will be dissolved and we shall come to you in a moment of high consequence for every cause that Liberalism has ever fought.' Asquith was outraged at this pre-emption of his authority, and the presumptions it made aboutto which she is accustomed. Then, however, she realises she doesn't love her fiancé but loves Capes, and runs off with him. They mostly live happily ever after, though only once Ann Veronica's dependence on men has been confirmed.

Ann Veronica's intelligence had been spotted at school, and 'she made a valiant fight for Somerville or Newnham, but her father had met and argued with a Somerville girl at a friend's dinner-table, and he thought that sort of thing unsexed a woman.' That is what she is up against. Her father later says to Ramage that 'I'm not sure whether we don't rather overdo all this higher education'. Ann Veronica and her friends, inevitably, take a violently opposing point of view. One says: '... we're not toys, toys isn't

In October the Home Rule Bill was back in the Commons, and proceeded with bad-tempered inevitability until, just after four o'clock on the afternoon of 11 November, the government lost by 227 votes to 206 on an amendment to a financial resolution complementary to the Bill. The amendment embodied an important principle: that, in the words of the Unionist MP who moved it, Sir Frederick Banbury, it should 'prevent the taxpayers of England being called upon by the Government to provide money for a country in whose Government they shall have no share.' The lump sum the government proposed to give Ireland was reduced from £6 million to £2.5 million. Given its majority, the government should not have lost: itout of his depth, acted on French's idea that the Army Council should publish a document saying the Curragh incident had been a misunderstanding – which it had not – and that it was 'the duty of all soldiers to obey lawful commands'.

The next day the cabinet, fearing French's resignation and that of many other officers who sympathised with Gough, approved the wording of this document, absurdly in Seely's absence: he had delivered it to the meeting and then had had to go to an audience of the King, to explain why the War Office had not kept the enraged Sovereign better informed. In his attempt to bring Gough to heel Seely had, however, given him an undertaking that the government's right to use the forces of the


Knifemen stormed a hotel in Egypt's Hurghada on Friday evening, injuring a number of foreign tourists before security forces killed one of the assailants, injured the other and ended the attack.

Speaking to Ahram Online, health ministry spokesperson Khaled Megahed said two Swedish tourists and one Austrian were stabbed and slashed. They were sent to the town's Nile Hospital and Red Sea Hospital.

A police statement, however, said that three foreign tourists were wounded, giving their nationalities as two Austrians and one Danish citizen.

The attack took place at Bella Vista Hotel in the busy downtown area of Hurghada, a popular tourist resort located on the Red Sea.

Police closed off Sheraton Road where the hotel is located following the attack before re-opening it shortly.

Eyewitnesses at the hotel also told Ahram Onlinethat police were asking bystanders gathered outside the hotel during the attack to leave.

In a statement on Facebook, the police said two assailants were carrying bladed weapons and an imitation pistol.

The police said one of the dead assailant's name was Mohamed Hassan Mahfouz, born in 1994. Security forces severely injured the other armed man as both were attempting to escape.

Both men were able to enter the hotel through a restaurant facing the street, according to the police statement.

Reuters earlier reported security sources as saying that the assailants arrived by sea to carry out the attack.

No group has yet claimed responsibility for the attack, although Ansar Beit Al-Maqdis — now affiliated with the ISIS group — has claimed responsibility for many lethal militant attacks in Egypt in recent months.

(CNN) What makes a house a home? For one rookie, it's a whole lot of faith, love and support.

Mecole Hardman says he has been dreaming of buying his parents, particularly his mother, a home for almost 13 years. Now at the age of 21, the Kansas City Chiefs player is able to cross that life goal off his bucket list.

The wide receiver was selected in the second round of the 2019 NFL Draft in April and is days away from training camp, but he still made time for family this week.

He told CNN this has been a dream for so long because of the way his family grew up. He remembers constantly moving to different homes with his parents and five siblings.

The composite help-wanted index, the insured unemployment rate, the quit rate, and persons working part-time for economic reasons are also highly correlated with the index. In contrast, government employment, the participation rate, and average hourly earnings are relatively uncorrelated with the LMCI. Changes in labor market conditions over the past 35 years

Chart 1 plots the average monthly change in the LMCI since 1977.4 Except for the final bar, which covers the first quarter of 2014, each of the bars represents the average over a six-month period. Changes in the LMCI align well with business cycles as defined by the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER). The LMCI generally declines during recessions (the grey shaded areas) and typically rises during expansions.


Chart 1: Average Monthly Change in LMCI

Table 2 reports the cumulative and average monthly change in the LMCI during each of the NBER-defined contractions and expansions since 1980. Over that time period, the LMCI has fallen about an average of 20 points per month during a recession and risen about 4 points per month during an expansion. In terms of the average monthly changes, then, the labor market improvement seen in the current expansion has been roughly in line with its typical pace. That said, the cumulative increase in the index since July 2009 (290 index points) is still smaller in magnitude than the extraordinarily large decline during the Great Recession (over 350 points from January 2008 to June 2009).

Table 2: Change in LMCI during Contractions and Expansionsand early 2009, as the financial crisis reached its height. The LMCI started improving in the second half of 2009, and the uneven pace of the ongoing labor market recovery is apparent at this time scale. Indeed, the LMCI captures several periods of sluggish improvement in the early parts of 2010, 2011, and 2012, which some dubbed the "spring swoons."5 The particularly marked slowdown in labor market improvement in the second quarter of 2012 stands out, as does the subsequent pick-up. Gains in the LMCI slowed a touch in the beginning of this year, likely reflecting unseasonably cold and snowy weather this winter, but the pace has picked up in recent months.

A woman was hospitalized Friday after she crashed her SUV off an exit ramp on Loop 1604 and the vehicle fell about 30 feet.

According to officers at the scene, the woman smashed into a dividing wall at the


Babcock Road exit on Loop 1604 around 9:20 a.m., losing one wheel of her Lexus SUV, and then careened down an incline into a ditch about 30 feet below.

"Buy Lexus," said an officer at the scene. "They stand up well to 30-foot drops. It is surprisingly intact."

Miraculously, the woman was not killed. She was transported to a nearby hospital in stable condition, though she was not able to answer many questions from police coherently at the time.

The driver told police she had a 15-year-old girl in the car with her at the time of the crash. Police said there was no indication that was true, but a helicopter unit was sent to scope out the area just in case.

Mclarty then fled the scene in the victim’s 2008 Chevy Silverado pickup truck without permission, according to the report.

On Monday (April 28), an officer went to Washington Regional Medical Center to transport the victim back to his home. When they arrived, the officer found Mclarty there and placed him under arrest.

Mclarty was taken to the Fayetteville Police Department where he reportedly gave several miscellaneous confessions during an interview, according to the report.

He was later booked into the Washington County Detention Center and faces charges of aggravated assault and


Street Songs (album)

Street Songs is the fifth album by American musician Rick James, released in April 1981 via Gordy Records. "Give It to Me Baby", the lead song and single from the album, became James' second number one single on the R&B chart.  It spent five weeks at the top spot.  The fifth song on the album, "Super Freak", was also one of James' biggest hits. A Deluxe Edition was released in 2001 containing an additional 17 mixes and live versions of the album tracks. Although the song "Fire and Desire" (a duet he performed with singer Teena Marie) was not originally released as a single, the song itself received much airplay on R&B radio stations and has since become a classic hit (James and MarieNew photo of Ansaru’s men as released by al Qaeda’s Global Islamic Media Front.

Following several years of inactivity, the al Qaeda-linked Jamaat al Ansar al Muslimeen fi Bilad al Sudan, better known as Ansaru, has reappeared online.

A new photo of the group was released today by the Global Islamic Media Front (GIMF), a clearinghouse for propaganda of al Qaeda’s global network. GIMF also announced a new media outlet for Ansaru, Al Yaqut Media Center.

A Telegram channel, ostensibly ran by members of Ansaru, also reposted the photo, giving further credence to the veracity of the picture.

The photo details three members of Ansaru, presumably in northern Nigeria, and features a famous Hadith [saying of the Prophet Muhammad] about the importance of ribat [frontline fortifications in the defense of Islam]. The


same photo above was also released in Arabic and Hausa.

While the photo itself offers little information, the release and creation of a new media outlet is meant to demonstrate Ansaru’s continued existence and presence inside Nigeria. This attempted resurgence has been hinted at in al Qaeda’s propaganda in the past.

For instance, in 2017, Al Risalah Magazine, a former publication released by al Qaeda-linked jihadists in Syria, released an article penned by Usama al Ansari. Ansari, who was described as Ansaru’s emir, heavily criticized Abubakar Shekau, offered a detailed history of the group, and spoke highly of al Qaeda’s men around the world in the piece.

That article was the first sign of life for the group in almost two years at the time.

Blade Runner Philosophy and Meaning

Blade Runner is one of the most deeply thematic and philosophic science fiction movie, using the philosophy of religion, literature (poetry of William
Blake and the Bible-the replicants are analogous to fallen angels, they are "fall from the heavens" (off-world)), religious symbols, classical Greek
drama and film noir. There is obvious tension between past, present and future in Blade Runner. The film foresees overpopulation, globalization,
climate change and genetic engineering, all important issues of 20th century.

Among the themes explored in Blade Runner are the following: the dehumanization of people through technological and capitalistic society; the role of
creation and creators; the nature and examining of humanity- the use of test with a number of questions in order to discover replicants. The replicants
are compared to human characters, while thethe replicants when he struggles to find his own
identity. The story makes audience to ask questions: What is the difference between being human and being non-human?

We can find his influence everywhere, its themes has been borrowed by sci-fi movies, music, video games. Adventure games inspired by Blade Runner are:
Snatcher, Rise of the Dragon, Beneath a Steel Sky, Flashback, Manhunter, Final Fantasy VII, Neuromancer, among others. Westwood released the game
adaptation of Blade Runner, that evokes memorable aesthetic of the film, and has original narrative.

to his boss and argue that the administration needs to revert to the high-pressure tactics and coercive diplomacy of 2017, except without an off-ramp in the form of negotiations to avert the possibility of war.

Such a result would be unfortunate and premature. The coercive diplomacy of 2017 (minus the personal insults over Twitter) had some logic to it. The United States had been ramping up the pressure and communicating that North Korea would, at long last, pay a steep price for continuing its irresponsibility. That is, in principle, a defensible and potentially effective approach—but only as prelude to tough negotiations that lead to an enforceable settlement. Trump and his team got the first part mostly right and flubbed the payoff. Once the agreement falls apart, war may appearto both Trump and Kim as the most logical alternative.

With its fertile land and weather conditions conducive to agriculture, the study village, like other parts of Kilosa, attracts many internal migrants. There are two main ethnic groups in the study village. The first is the native Bantu group, to which the majority of the population belong. The Luguru, Sagara, Kaguru, and Pogoro people are in this group. Other minority Bantu ethnic subgroups that have migrated to and settled in this area include, inter alia, the Sukuma, Nyamwezi, Zaramo, Gogo, and Hehe people. The second is the Maasai group, which is a Nilotic minority


group of people who migrated to this area in the past two decades in search of pasture for their livestock. The majority of people in the village live in small traditional houses with mud walls, earth floors, and grass roofs. The majority use firewood as the main source of energy to prepare their meals. As the village has no electricity, most use paraffin as a source of light. Many village residents have primary education only.

2.2. Health services {#mcn12769-sec-0006}
--------------------

The study village is poorly served in terms of health infrastructure. Because there is no local health facility, the people in the village depend on health services from other villages outside of the ward, which are approximately 3--6 km away. The village has a limited transport infrastructure. The roads are poor andare passable only during the dry season. Moreover, there is no public transport connecting the village with Kilosa town and neighbouring villages. Thus, accessing health services can be challenging for the residents. Within the village, there are two small privately owned drug shops (*maduka ya dawa*), both of which are operated by unqualified attendants who offer a variety of medications, including antibiotics and antimalarials, mostly without prescription. Due to the lack of health facilities in the village, child growth monitoring services (mainly weighing) are offered monthly in a meeting room of the village office (*ofisi ya kijiji*) by two trained community health workers (CHWs), who are both standard seven leavers. Generally, the CHWs are trained according to government standards to provide an integrated and comprehensive package of interventions,


including health promotion and education, disease prevention, referrals, basic curative services, rehabilitative services, and surveillance. The CHWs in the study village are paid a small monthly allowance of 40,000 Tanzanian shillings (equivalent to 18 USD per month) by the village government. In general, the meeting room of *ofisi ya kijiji* is not conducive to providing growth monitoring services, as the room is too small to accommodate mothers and their children and has no facilities for them to sit while waiting to receive services. Thus, during GM visits, mothers and their babies sit outside of the building waiting to receive services, which can expose their babies to the elements, including the sun, wind, and rain. Moreover, because the office is used for both GM and village government activities, theto give birth…)

When I was 17, the older teenagers in my church went on a white-water rafting trip in the Appalachian Mountains. It was a nice, summer day and we had a ton of fun. Then, on the way home (about a two hour drive), it started to rain. And not just any rain–torrential downpour.

about 20 minutes of waiting, the rain let up a bit to where I felt comfortable driving in. I turned back on the car and hopped on the interstate. When I was about 10 miles from home, the rain had stopped completely and I could see blue sky. A smile immediately appeared on my face. I was so thankful to see that patch of clear sky.

As much as I love rain and storms, I hate driving in them. I’d rather sit, safe and cozy, and watch them. So, I love you rain, but please go away.

REDS SLIP OUT OF DERBYSHIRE SENIOR CUP

ALFRETON Town fell at the first hurdle of the Derbyshire Senior Cup for the first time in 15 seasons when they went down by the odd goal in five at Gresley FC on Tuesday night.

On a bitterly cold night, with a strong wind and a heavy pitch to contend with, the hosts edged a lively cup tie against a Reds side that fielded no less than seven changes from the 4-0 victory over Southport.

Having made all the alterations, mainly through loan players being ineligible and the necessity to give playing time to squad members, manager Nicky Law was then forced into a ninth minute substitution when Leigh Franks pulled up with a hamstring problem.

His replacement Jake Moult went close in the 13thminute after a neat turn, then four minutes later an angled drive from Gresley's Royce Turville was held low down by Reds' keeper Dan Lowson.

Gresley took a 25th minute lead when Jordi Gough played Dean Oliver through with a ball that bounced awkwardly over Greg Young before Oliver thumped it past Lowson.

Three minutes later Alfreton were level when Paul Clayton neatly flicked in Nathan Jarman's cross at the near post, then a sizzler from Jamie Mullan was only held at the second attempt by home keeper Gary Hateley.

Jarman fired inches wide in the 35th minute following a strong run by Theo Streete, then moments later a curling drive from Jarman was touched away at the back post by Hateley and cleared by Gough.

HT: Gresley FC 11 Alfreton Town

Two


minutes before the break a Moult free-kick was parried by Hateley with Michael Nottingham hacking the loose ball off the line, then a Moult corner in the 47th minute produced a blocked Matt Wilson header and a Clayton volley against the underside of the crossbar.

Alfreton took a 61st minute lead when Mullan teed up Levi Mackin, who found the corner of the net with a precision drive from 16 yards, but the tie was level again seven minutes later.

A ball from Adam Betteridge sent Turville through to chip the ball over the advancing Lowson before following up to score, then in the 75th minute another Clayton volley was tipped over at full stretch by the Gresley keeper.

It was Moult's turn to smash the ball against the underside of"But that's just the nature of cryptocurrency. It goes up and down, you know." Palmer co-created dogecoin when he was 26 and lived in Sydney. It all started when he fired off a jokey tweet and then decided to make it a reality by creating the new cryptocurrency. "It was a piss take," he says. "My whole point of dogecoin was taking a jab at all these alt-coins that were coming on the scene — like Initial Coin Offerings are today — and, you know, basically making a cash grab. "So I made the joke and it was me taking the piss out of really scammy cryptocurrency back then. But then it quickly turned into a legitimate thing … and at that point, I was like, 'Oh my


god, now I feel responsible for this joke'. I feel responsible for this economy."

Dogecoin (pronounced dough-je coin) takes both its name and mascot from one of 2013's most viral internet memes. The meme takes its name from a reference on an episode of a popular 1990s internet cartoon series called Homestar Runner. The term "doge" was revived, mashed-up with a quirky photo of a pet Shiba Inu dog and then sprinkled with a few ungrammatical phrases written in the much-maligned comic sans font. In 2013, it exploded across the internet. Wow such meme: doge overtook the internet in 2013. In 2014, Palmer, who was born and raised in Gosford on the NSW central coast, told Fairfax he believed that the doge theme was what helped to make hisTesla only has a few weeks left in order to achieve its goal to deliver 80,000 vehicles in 2016. The automaker delivered ~55,000 cars during the first 3 quarters of the year, leaving ~25,000 vehicles to be delivered in October through December in order to reach the goal. In its latest shareholders letter, the company wrote that it was aiming for “just over 25,000 deliveries”.

Due to its cyclical delivery process, the company is often pushing for deliveries at the very end of the quarter and this month is no exception. Tesla is reportedly in full delivery mode at several locations around the world in order to deliver the few thousand vehicles left to reach the 80,000 mark.

Edinburgh, Scotland shoe salesman Bob Jamieson "has teamed up in a bid" to buy Scottish Premier League Heart of Midlothian "with one of the men associated with a failed effort to take over" Scottish Second Division Rangers last summer, according to Stuart Bathgate of the SCOTSMAN. Jamieson, who runs Kex Shoes Ltd., has joined forces with Club 9 Sports Co-Founder Jon Pritchett, who "was one of the key players" in American businessman Bill Miller’s attempt to take control at Ibrox. Jamieson, a former sponsor of Hearts, was "involved in previous offers to buy the club both in 1999, when Chris Robinson was in control, and in 2011, when Vladimir Romanov first put it on the market." Jamieson and Pritchett "plan to move Hearts away from Tynecastle to anRussia has unveiled chilling pictures of its largest ever nuclear missile, capable of destroying an area the size of France.

The RS-28 Sarmat missile, dubbed Satan 2 by Nato, has a top speed of 4.3 miles (7km) per second and has been designed to outfox anti-missile shield systems.

The new Sarmat missile could deliver warheads of 40 megatons - 2,000 times as powerful as the atom bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945.

Scroll down for video Russian President Vladimir Putin is reportedly planning to replace the country's older SS-18 Satan weapons with the new missiles amid a string of recent disagreements with the West. The Kremlin has stepped up the rhetoric against the West and carried a series of manoeuvres that has infuriated politicians in the US and UK.

Russia


has unveiled chilling pictures of its largest ever nuclear missile, capable of destroying an area the size of France. A contract for the weapons was signed in 2011, and they are expected to be ready in 2018

The pictures were revealed online by chief designers from the Makeyev Rocket Design Bureau.

A message posted alongside the picture said: 'In accordance with the Decree of the Russian Government 'On the State Defense Order for 2010 and the planning period 2012-2013', the Makeyev Rocket Design Bureau was instructed to start design and development work on the Sarmat. '

The RS-28 Sarmat missile is said to contain 16 nuclear warheads and is capable of destroying an area the size of France or Texas, according to Russian news network Zvezda, which is owned by Russia'sministry of defence.

The weapon is also able to evade radar.

It is expected to have a range of 6,213 miles (10,000 km), which would allow Moscow to attack London and other European cities as well as reaching cities on America's west and east coasts.

Igor Sutyagin, an expert in Russian nuclear capability at the Royal United Services Institute in London, told MailOnline: 'The SS-18 is more than 30 years old. It is past its sell-by date.

'So even if you had the warmest relations in the world with Nato you would want to update your missiles.

'But (President) Putin of course is happy for it to be portrayed as an aggressive move. He wants to stress his unpredictability and his importance.'

Each missile contains 16 nuclear warheads, according to pictures revealed online from


the Makeyev Rocket Design Bureau. It is also able to evade radar.

Earlier this year, a Yars RS-24 intercontinental ballistic missile system was paraded through Red Square during the Victory Day parade but there was no sign of the RS-28 Sarmat

Dr Sutyagin points out that the SS-18 missiles which the Russians currently rely on were designed in 1988 during the Soviet Union and were built at a factory in Dnipropetrovsk, in what is now the Ukraine.

COULD RUSSIAN LAUNCH NUCLEAR ATTACK FROM SPACE? Russia is readying itself to become a leader in the construction of hypersonic aircraft, a new report reveals. Kremlin-backed media claim engineers in the Federation are among the first in the world to work towards new materials for planes capable of reaching hypersonic speeds. The move couldhelp Russia produce a new fleet of aerial war machines that could launch nuclear attacks from space. Aviation researchers are reportedly working to develop the materials which can withstand the stress and high temperatures of travelling many times the speed of sound. Advertisement

He said the Russians cannot totally rely on the Ukraine-based maintenance engineers and he said Sarmat were designed and built by Russians at the Khrunichev plant just outside Moscow.

Dr Sutyagin they would be no match for Nato systems like Aegis Ashore, the controversial missile defence shield which the US is deploying to Romania.

If a Sarmat missile were fired at London it would wipe out most of Britain, as well as northern France, Belgium and the Netherlands

He said: 'Not only are they too fast but they have


got rid of the predictable flight path.

'It manouevres all the way so it is terribly difficult for any missile defence system to shoot it down.'

The Russian Defence Ministry plans to put the Sarmat into service in late 2018 and remove the last SS-18 by 2020.

The Sarmat has been in development since 2009 and is scheduled to start replacing the old ICBMs in 2018.

The new missile is said to be undergoing testing near Miass in Russia.

The tests are the latest in a line of policies and incidents carried out by Putin to antagonise the West. Western leaders have been quick to slap him down and accuse him of war-mongering.

A fortnight ago, Hillary Clinton launched an open attack on Russia in a presidential debate, saying Vladimir Putin wants Trump to win and accused the regime of 'war crimes' in Syria.

Clinton went on the offensive during the combative head-to-head showdown, apparently riled after she fell victim to leaks which she attributed to Russian hackers.

In some of her strongest words yet aimed at Russian President Putin, Clinton rebuked the country for its bombing of Aleppo, home to some 250,000 people.

'There is a determined effort by the Russian air force to destroy Aleppo in


me.'

A fortnight ago, Hillary Clinton launched an open attack on Russia in a presidential debate, saying Vladimir Putin wants Trump to win and accused the regime of 'war crimes' in Syria

The FBI said in July that it was looking into the hacking of the Democratic National Committee computer system, after WikiLeaks published nearly 20,000 internal emails on the eve of the party's convention.

At the debate the subject of Russian hacks also came up in a separate voter question about a WikiLeaks document published earlier this month, which showed that Clinton allegedly said in a Wall Street speech that 'you need both a public and a private position on certain issues.'

Clinton went on to blame the leak on Russian meddling, saying: 'We have never, in the history of ourRussia towards Gibraltar en route to the eastern Mediterranean, where alliance officials fear it will launch fighter bombers to hit northwestern Syria early in November.

'The battle group may be used to increase Russia's ability to take part in combat operations over Syria and to conduct even more air strikes against Aleppo,' Stoltenberg said.

'The concern is that the carrier group can be used as a platform for increased air strikes against civilians in Aleppo,' he told a news conference, calling for a halt to all bombings.

The naval group, which passed through the English Channel on Friday, is made up of Russia's only aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov, as well as a nuclear-powered battle cruiser, two anti-submarine warships and four support vessels, likely escorted by submarines, NATO officials said.

The naval deployment,


a rare sight since the end of the Soviet Union, is carrying dozens of fighter bombers and helicopters and is expected to join around 10 other Russian vessels already off the Syrian coast, diplomats said.

Last week, the Royal Navy was forced to deploy its vessels as Russian warships chugged through the English Channel on their way to the Mediterranean

The White House and the Kremlin have been at loggerheads for weeks over the Syrian civil war with the US backing rebel groups attempting to overthrow the government and Putin supporting President Assad.

Both have accused each other of air strikes on aid convoys and civilians.

Though the Russian military said Tuesday the weeklong halt of Russian and Syrian air strikes on the besieged city of Aleppo will continue and humanitarian corridorswill remain open even as the Syrian army has unleashed a new offensive on the rebel-held neighborhoods.

As well as a bulging stock of nuclear missiles in Russia itself, Putin is looking to flex his muscles around the world.

Russia is considering reopening military bases in Vietnam and Cuba as Putin looks to assert his army's presence around the world.

Bases in those countries served as pivots of the Soviet global military power during the Cold War.

Paris: More than 200 sheep have died after they hurtled over the edge of a cliff in the Pyrenees mountains while being chased by a bear, reigniting a debate about the predator's reintroduction to France.

The bears were reintroduced to the mountain range on the French-Spanish border 20 years ago after disappearing in the early 90s.

A person was arrested today after stealing an ambulance on the Las Vegas Strip and leading police on a chase on Interstate 15 toward California, according to Metro Police.

The Clark County Fire Department vehicle was taken near the Monte Carlo while emergency personnel were away assisting someone, officials said.

The ambulance was tracked south on I-15, where police arrested one person near the Nevada-California border, police said.

Metro Police officers and Nevada Highway Patrol troopers followed the ambulance, which was also being tracked from the air by a police helicopter, officials said.

Further details were not immediately available.

Google said Stadia will launch in 2019 starting in the United States, Canada, the U.K. and "most of Europe." It didn't say how much it will cost gamers to use the service. The company said Stadia will run on "any screen type" but it will work on desktops, laptops, TVs, tablets and phones at launch. There's no box at all. "With Stadia, the data center is your platform," Google said. A gamer can start on one platform and then pick up where they left offWashington, D.C. - Attorney General Jeff Sessions has sent a federal lawyer to the state of Iowa to assist in the prosecution of the murder of a transgender high school student as a hate crime. This action, marking the first time a Republican presidential administration has assisted in pursuing anti-LGBT hate crime charges, was hailed by The New York Times as a sign that Mr. Sessions has "made a priority of fighting violence against transgender people."

"Despite the protestations of liberal groups dubious of Mr. Sessions' commitment to federal hate crimes statutes, the Attorney General has proven himself to be a man of his word, dedicated to enforcing the laws of the land - including anti-LGBT hate crimes legislation," Log Cabin Republicans President Gregory T.

Fedor’s unique combination of brutal striking power with a complex understanding of submissions is why he’s the Pride Heavyweight Champion, and quite possibly the most dangerous fighter on the planet. In the semi-final round, former two-time NCAA Heavyweight Champion Kevin Randleman locked a German suplex on Fedor and threw him right on his head. It looked like his neck was broken with the impact, but Fedor immediately spun and slapped a kimura armbar on Randleman for the finish. This was possibly the most stunning sight of the tournament.

By R.J Anderson //

Biggest Surprise & 2011 Keeper Alert: Joey Votto

Votto has consistently been underrated. He hit .322/.414/.567 last season, yet nobody seemed to notice (he finished 22nd in Most Valuable Player voting). The Reds’ surge to the playoffs this season (combined with an even more impressive .324/.424/.600 line. Votto increased his homer output to 37, runs scored to 106 to RBI to 113, while stealing an eye-opening 16 bases. He was the best first baseman in the National League by both real life and fantasy standards and is an auto-keep for next season.

Biggest Bust: Orlando Cabrera

It’s hard to point to a 35-year-old’s decline as a bust, but Cabrera continued to slip toward a permanent state of unrosterability. His experience managed to


trick Dusty Baker into hitting him leadoff for far too long, and then number-two for too long, even though his .303 on-base percentage screamed for a demotion. The Reds and Cabrera hold a mutual option for 2011. There’s a chance he returns, but he could end up backing up Paul Janish or someone else in 2011. Avoid.

2011 Regression Alert: Jonny Gomes

Not because he overplayed his means, but because he provides a perfect example of what regression to the mean looks like. In the first half, Gomes hit .277/.330/.471 with 11 home runs in 278 at-bats. He overplayed himself then with a .330 batting average on balls in play. In the second half his BABIP dropped to .294 (essentially his career average) and Gomes saw his line drop to.251/.324/.383. Gomes’ home run rate actually nosedived in 2010, and his awful defense makes him a long shot for an everyday job next year. Look elsewhere.

got into Senegal. We overnighted in Saint Louis, which is a nice town with a French twist, and then continued to Gambia.

The Gambia is a long, narrow country that looks like a tongue inside Senegal. You can cross it within hours. I appreciated the change of language; Senegal uses French as its official language (so I could not understand anything), while Gambia uses English.

One of the best things about crossing The Gambia was taking the ferry across the beautiful and wild river named after the country (or maybe the country was named after the river?). At that point of the journey, the landscapes were much greener and the environment 100 percent African.

We again got into Senegal and arrived at Ziguinchor. The capital of the Casamance region is aninteresting city with a nice river, quite local activity and some sightseeing. Near there you can find the village of Kafountine, where I spent over a month learning French (or trying to, at least) when I came back from the Guinean carnival.

Finally we got to Bissau, the Guinean capital, which is a very strange place. Portuguese is the official language, a legacy from colonial times, and the country has a Brazilian vibe in a few aspects.

There is a considerable debate going on around the country about who should be responsible for funding the very diverse activities that fall under the umbrella of the "arts".

A team of scientists at the James Hutton Institute in Aberdeen has been comparing Martian soil samples with basaltic soils found on the Isles of Skye and Mull off Scotland's west coast. To their surprise, the researchers found that Martian soil samples examined by the Curiosity rover share strikingly similar mineral characteristics to the Scottish samples.Launched in 2012, one of Curiosity's primary aims has been to search for soil conditions amicable to microbial life.

Rab C Nesbitt was way ahead of the Hutton Institute. Years ago I remember an episode where he was discussing the latest Mars Rover images with his mate Jamesie Cotter, who commented that it looked just like Largs, without the ice cream van. I also remember seeing a letter in an astronomical archive from athe mayor before getting to the podium.

James defended his security team.

"I'm not going to question my security detail." James said after the event.

The mayor was not hurt and does not believe the protester intended to harm him.

"The only way to have stopped that was to have them right by my side. We don't live in that way," said James.

This is the second time in his three years in office that James has had a security incident.

Two summers ago, James was at an outdoor event encouraging young and underage Kansas Citians not to cluster on the Country Club Plaza late at night.

James' security agents pushed him into a group of bushes when they heard gun shots in the vicinity.

Blueface had a brush with the law on Friday (June 28) when he was detained by police following a traffic stop.

The 2019 XXL Freshman was pulled over while driving a black Porsche in Los Angeles for exceeding the speed limit in a residential area. Police on the scene made the rapper exit the vehicle and handcuffed him. Video of the traffic stop, obtained by TMZ, shows the rapper sitting on the curb with his hands cuffed behind his back. According to the celebrity news site, 'Face was eventually released with a warning and avoided being slapped with a ticket.

national and U.S.-designated drug kingpin Walid Makled García. Why? Makled was the repository of privileged information about the Venezuela-Hezbollah relationship, as well as Venezuelan government corruption and cooperation with the drug cartels. Makled was arrested in 2010 in Colombia, a close ally of the United States. Yet Obama declined to use his prestige, influence, and leverage to bring him to the United States, instead letting Makled be shipped back to Venezuela in 2011, thereby putting the secrets he could have revealed out of the reach of U.S. law enforcement.

Second, why did the U.S. government fail to extradite the Hezbollah operatives Ali Fayad and Khaled Merebi from the Czech Republic? Fayad, a key weapons procurement agent, was arrested by DEA agents in 2014, along with Merebi and their colleague,Faouzi Jaber, during a DEA sting that closely resembled the capture of arms dealer Viktor Bout, in 2008, in Thailand.

Bout — a Russian national who inspired Nicolas Cage’s character in the 2005 film Lord of War and sold weapons to the Taliban, African warlords, and Hezbollah — had friends in high places in Moscow. Russia strenuously opposed his extradition and slammed his conviction. But the Obama administration was willing to spend considerable political capital to extradite him for trial in the United States. Yet when, in July 2015, Hezbollah engineered the kidnapping of five Czech nationals in Lebanon, the United States did little to secure the two men’s extradition before Prague succumbed to Hezbollah’s extortion. Jaber was eventually extradited in late February 2016 and is awaiting sentencing in


New York, but not before, earlier that month, the Czechs had released Fayad and Merebi, who promptly returned to Lebanon.

The third decision to review is the one that prevented charges from being brought against one of Hezbollah’s senior leaders, Abdullah Safieddine. Safieddine is Hezbollah’s envoy to Iran, as well as the maternal cousin of Hezbollah’s leader, Hassan Nasrallah. A 2009 Eastern District of Pennsylvania indictment against four Hezbollah operatives involved in the sale of counterfeit currency and the attempted procurement of thousands of assault rifles for Hezbollah obliquely mentioned Safieddine. A 2009 affidavit referred to him as a high-ranking, Iran-based Hezbollah official named “Individual B.” Clearly, investigators did not have sufficient evidence to indict him at the time and were using this case as a platform to buildHeadnote
