Enraged Christian mother harasses Katy Perry's father

An angry Christian mother has unleashed a bizarre tirade of verbal abuse at the father of US pop star Katy Perry, claiming his daughter's music is sending her son to Hell.

Religious activist Christine Weick ambushed Perry's father, Keith Hudson, in the foyer of a Christian radio station in Phoenix on Monday accusing him on video of failing to "minister" to his "wicked" daughter in line with Christian values.

"She is a Satanic woman who has led millions to Hell," Ms Weick can he heard yelling


at Mr Hudson as she films him exiting the radio station's building.

As Ms Weick is about to continue her rant, Mr Hudson, a pastor, calmly interjects, quizzing the woman about whether she has children of her own.

"I do, but I have no relationship with my son because he is walking away from the Lord and he exploits it… my kid watches your kid's videos and it's sending him to hell. Shame on you."

Ms Weick's unrelenting tirade continues as the pair exits the building, with the mother labelling Perry as "wicked".

As she begins to walk away from Perry's father he can be heard calling out to the woman: "I think you're a little bit wicked".When the doorman of an expensive apartment building turns up with a broken neck, it doesn't attract much attention.

New Delhi: With 6.8 million followers, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has become the world's most followed leader on Facebook's photo-sharing app Instagram, a new study revealed on Wednesday.

Modi, who was at the third spot on Instagram last year, is closely followed by the US President Donald Trump with 6.3 million followers, said the study conducted by global public relations firm Burson-Marsteller.

The study looked at the activity of the 325 Instagram accounts of heads of state and government, and foreign ministers over the past 12 months.

47 F.Supp. 428 (1942)
In re CHARLES RAY GLASS, Inc.
No. 39681-H.
District Court, S. D. California, Central Division.
October 29, 1942.
*429 John K. Ford, of Los Angeles, Cal., for petitioner.
Nat Rosin, of Los Angeles, Cal., for trustee.
YANKWICH, District Judge.
The petitioner is the attorney for the bankrupt in a pending voluntary proceeding. On February 7, 1942, he filed his verified petition before the Referee praying for an order confirming and approving the payment to him, as attorney for the bankrupt, out of the bankrupt's estate, of the sum of $350, which he had already received.
The matter was heard on September 15, 1942. The petitioner was the only person who testified. On September 16, 1942, the Referee, the Honorable Hubert F. Laughran, allowed the petitioner the sum of $150 only as his feeand surcharged him with the sum of $200, which he ordered him to repay to the trustee.
As a basis for his decision, the Referee found that the balance of funds on hand for the payment of expenses of administration and distribution to creditors was approximately $550. And further "that there were no services of any unusual nature or unusual complexity rendered by the said attorney; that in addition to the preparation of the schedules and attendance at the first meeting of creditors, that the principal additional services rendered by the counsel for the bankrupt was the search and investigation conducted by the said counsel as to the names and addresses of creditors and amounts owing thereto by the bankrupt, which said additional work, was occasioned by the incomplete


books and records of the bankrupt."
He concluded "that the amount of $150.00 is a fair and reasonable compensation to be allowed to the attorney for the bankrupt herein for the services performed, considering the size of the estate, the time involved and the complexity of the problems presented."
This is a petition to review the order of the Referee.
I think the Referee was right.
The services rendered by the bankrupt's attorney were the usual ones incidental to the preparation of the petition and schedules. This he conceded when he testified before the Referee. He also admitted that there was nothing "unusual in the case"
The Bankruptcy Act, 11 U.S.C.A. § 1 et seq., does not sanction a definite schedule or a minimum schedule of fees in bankruptcy cases for anyone. Reasonablenessare the nature of the work, the necessity for spending the time claimed, the amount and character of the assets and liabilities, and the like. It is claimed that because the books of the bankrupt were under attachment, more work was required than ordinarily. The company had an auditor and if the attorney chose to do the auditor's work, the referee was right in not considering the work as a part of "legal" services. An attorney should not be compensated at lawyer's rates for the work which a clerk or amanuensis can do cheaper, if not better.
The order of the Referee is affirmed.


Astringent drugs for bleedings and diarrhoea: The history of Cynomorium coccineum (Maltese Mushroom).
The botanical identity of the ancient vernacular cynomorium does not correspond to the modern scientific genus while it is not clear how many species of hipocistis (Cytinus sp.) were differentiated by the ancient physicians and whether Cynomorium coccineum was subsumed. The early history of therapeutic uses related to the herbal drugs derived from these parasitic taxa is therefore not easily accessible. Cynomorium coccineum became an important pharmaceutical commodity after the Siege of Malta but its importance decreased in the 18th century and now is considered obsolete. We compare the morphological, ecological and therapeutic information of Cynomorium and other parasitizing plant taxa across the past 2000 years and contextualize their uses with the pharmacological properties of theirCytinus sp. also applied to C. coccineum as evidence of C. coccineum parasitizing Cistus sp. is scarce. The isolation of gallic acid used as a styptic and the increasing availability of chemical styptics in the 18th century together with the availability of effective alternative anti-diarrhoeic drugs with a more reliable supply very probably led to the decline of the importance of the Maltese mushroom in pharmacy during the 18th century. The effectiveness of gallic acid as a systemic anti-haemorrhagic remains uncertain.

From BESA Center Perspectives Paper No. 125, January 13, 2011, by Prof. Efraim Inbar, Professor of Political Studies at Bar-Ilan University and director of the Begin-Sadat Center for Strategic Studies:

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman takes a blunt approach to politics, one that is often met with resistance at home and abroad. But despite his not-very-diplomatic style, Lieberman's views on issues like the "peace process" and the Israel-Turkey relationship are representative of a large majority of the Israeli public, and his assessments are often right on the mark.

...The chances of reaching a comprehensive agreement in the near future with the Palestinians, within 12 or 36 months, are indeed nil, as Lieberman has pointed out. The Palestinian Authority is not willing to make any concessions inDirector General of Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas's office, Abd Al-Rahim.

According to Abd Al-Rahim, Israel has orchestrated all of the following major destructive events in the Arab world:

1- the civil war in Lebanon
2- the division of Sudan
3- the civil strife in Yemen
4- the massacre of Christians in Iraq
5- the persecution of Palestinians in Iraq

Also blaming Israel for Arab world troubles, the General Union of Palestinian Writers, following the murder of Christian Copts in a bombing in Egypt, said that Israel was behind conspiracies against the Arab world, including Egypt:

"The conspiracies that are being concocted against Palestine, Egypt, Iraq, Lebanon and anywhere else in the world are proof that the Israeli occupation and the imperialist circles are still damaging the spirit of the [Arab] nation and its unity."

But Blue Origin is already offering rides for government and commercial research payloads, and more experiments will be aboard the unpiloted crew capsule Sunday.

“These payloads represent a range of users, from NASA’s Johnson Space Center to a small commercial communications firm, as well as our first European customers, funded by the German national space agency, DLR,” Blue Origin said. “Each of the payloads has been outfitted with a custom Blue Origin Payload Locker to provideMARION COUNTY, Oregon, May 10, 2019 (LifeSiteNews) – Two parents in Oregon have filed a million-dollar lawsuit against Woodburn School District over a second-grade teacher they say took it upon himself to give their eight-year-old son one-on-one gender lessons after erroneously assuming the boy was transgendered.

The Nellie Muir Elementary School student had special permission to use a staff restroom due to a digestive condition, but a female teacher allegedly noticed him entering the restroom and assumed it was due to gender discomfort, the Salem Statesman Journal reported. The lawsuit alleges that the teacher pulled the boy out of recess to show him videos and books "in an effort to promote (him) becoming transgender.”

The teacher allegedly developed a lesson plan without any authorization from the school district in April


2018, keeping him alone in a classroom and not letting him go to recess until he got through various videos and books. The materials included the book I Am Jazz and episodes of the TV series of the same name, as well as Who are You? The Kid's Guide to Gender Identity.

The materials came recommended by an "unknown non-school employee transgender individual," according to the lawsuit.

This went on for three sessions over the course of a week, at the end of which the teacher told the boy to share the books with his parents, who were extremely shocked to find out that she would expose (their son) to various sexual concepts, such as the difference between male and female body parts," according to their attorney, Edgar Diaz. TheEvery school district has a notification system, in accordance with state law, for notifying parents of pesticide application. This falls under both a right to know and health concern for those who react to ingredients in the pesticides, including the inert ingredients like silica.

I was on the list. Not only was I not notified of the application, I saw the sign when I dropped my kids off at school, but the notification did not meet the state guidelines. The school property was to have signage at entry points listing the product to be used, date of application, and who to contact with questions or concerns. There was one sign by the main office. Most students were bused to school or unloaded in a car drop off zone.

Further, the


property was used by dog owners to walk their dogs, and area residents as a playground for younger children after school hours. The state law accounted for this traffic by requiring a sign at each entrance. The law went so far as to designate size of sign, bright colored paper, and such. And each affected planting area was to be flagged.

The application in question was to be applied before a rainfall or watered to activate the product. It also warned about high winds. The maintenance workers who applied to pesticide had to wear protective gear.

My children were not provided protective gear. The pesticide was applied during a dry spell, with forecasted high winds. Because it was convenient for the maintenance department to schedule at that time. The schoolRivers) and the resume (2011 Naismith National High School Player of the Year) that will make you take notice, one way or the other.

On sheer talent alone, it will be hard not to be enamored with Rivers. At 6'4", he is a well-rounded combo guard with NBA range and a lightning quick first step. Rivers has the mid-range game of a seasoned professional, and he has no qualms about taking the crucial shot in crunch time.

Virtually every scouting service of consequence tagged Rivers as one of the top prospects in the Class of 2011, and in a loaded freshman crop, he was named the ACC Preseason Rookie of the Year.

Of course, there are some (read: fans of other ACC teams, for the most part) who simply won't be


of his jersey number (zero) and his self-proclaimed ability to "freeze people" with his moves on the basketball court.

It's a good thing that he has the talent to back up his words.

A privileged few got an early glimpse of that talent this summer at the Greater NC Pro-Am in Durham, North Carolina. True to form, Rivers showed up for his first day at the McLendon-McDougald Gym wearing the uniform shorts given to him at the McDonald's All-American game.

It would be naive to think that his choice of outfit that day was a random occurrence. For Rivers, the shorts gave him instant credibility in a league that featured such talents as John Wall, Harrison Barnes, Rasheed Wallace and Kyrie Irving.

Sara D. Davis/Getty Images

Of course, his play would grant himthat same credibility soon enough—it wasn't long before he dazzled the Pro-Am crowd with an array of deep three-pointers and baseline dunks.

That performance showed that Rivers' game is perfectly suited for a summer league-type of an environment. Simply put, he is an individual in a team game—the anti-thesis of a typical Blue Devils recruit. But by all accounts, he has pretty much conformed to the structure imposed by Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski ever since he arrived in Durham.

Sports Illustrated's Luke Winn recently relayed a story about an October scrimmage in which Rivers didn't give full effort on defense after a poor offensive possession. Krzyzewski immediately stopped practice and called his freshman star out in front of his teammates. From that point on, Rivers dominated the remainder of


the practice session.

"It's all about becoming a member of a team," said CBS college basketball analyst Bill Raftery when asked about Austin Rivers. "That's part of the process, too."

The process will begin with a 19-year-old who is used to playing in an offense where he was the first, second and third option. A 19-year-old with questionable shot selection at times, and one who gambles more often than he should on the defensive end of the court.

If Rivers conforms, the process could very well end with Duke capturing its second title in three seasons. If he doesn't, the Blue Devils could see a repeat of the 24th of last March when the Arizona Wildcats blew them out of the Sweet 16 in the NCAA Tournament.

Narendra Modi & Nitish Kumar: The Tales of India and Bharat

Two important NDA chief ministers made special appearances this weekend (16-17th March 2013) and even though in Delhi, the two occasions were totally contrasting.

Two important NDA chief ministers made special appearances this weekend (17th March 2013) and even though in Delhi, the two occasions were totally contrasting. The first one was by Narendra Modi, the man of the moment in Indian politics at a conclave in the national capital on Saturday night and the second by Nitish Kumar, the Bihar chief minister who organised a massive rally at the Ramlila Maidan to show his party's show of strength.

The two events had some interesting links. The final question that was volleyed at Modi at Saturday's conclave was on findingallies in people like Nitish Kumar while playing a big role on the national stage.

The Gujarat chief minister dodged the question smartly but the matter didn't end there as the Bihar chief minister declared his grand arrival the next morning.

It seemed as if Kumar was waiting for Modi's innings at the conclave to end. At the Delhi rally, the Bihar CM said only he who felt for the backwards states and poor people would rule from Delhi. Kumar's stress on "One who can take everyone along..... Hindustan should be one, not divided between India and Bharat" is significant for many found this expression as a dash at Modi.

The Bihar CM's words: "We will leave everyone behind and move ahead with development. And we will present a model before


question that reigns at the end of the day is: "Why isn't the government looking after us?" It's miles to go before a post-colonial state recedes from the lives of its cornered people.

Not many regional leaders had a great time at the top

The time has come perhaps for Modi to start focusing on the all-India scenario rather than blindly banking on the belief that his Gujarat model will be a hit in Meghalaya or Kerala. He is by far the best leader the country can have in the future. But for a long tenure at the top if he indeed reaches there, Modi must prepare himself to counter people like Kumar in their den.

Eric Bailly believes he has improved tactically under Jose Mourinho

Eric Bailly insists no Manchester United player is entitled to a starting place under Jose Mourinho.

Bailly was ever present in United's unbeaten Premier League start to the season prior to being rested for the win over Crystal Palace due to what Mourinho said was "fatigue".

The centre-back has formed a resilient partnership with Phil Jones, with United conceding just two league goals in the campaign so far.

Chris Smalling and Victor Lindelof continue to wait for opportunities on the sidelines, though, and with Marcos Rojo on road to recovery from injury, Bailly is not taking his position for granted.

Asked if competition was good for the defenders, Bailly told United Review: "It's very important for us, it's important for the team, it'sDota 2 Asian Championships - Day 1 Recap January 29th, 2015 20:01 GMT Text by Julmust Graphics by Ninjan

The first day of what promises to be one of the most prestigious tournaments of the year has concluded. After 27 games, the Western teams Evil Geniuses and Team Secret top the standings. But the tournament is still far from over, and with the massive amounts of games that are to be played during the group stage, teams still have four days to mend whatever damage any first day jitters may have caused. For some, though, the situation is more dire than for others.The tournament will continue tomorrow at noon, local time. But how much sleep will the teams be able to get while still being able to prepare for their upcoming matches?The standings paint a rather accurate picture of howare going to avoid a TI-esque meta where relatively small pool of heroes was being picked. In DAC's first day alone, 77 of the 109 heroes currently in the pool have been picked or banned at least once. Interestingly, Vengeful Spirit still seems to be the first choice of support for all teams.While Axe continues his streak of being a high impact hero in pro-games, the interesting part here is the remaining three heroes. Batrider, Morphling, and Templar Assassin have all been in the fridge during the months leading up to DAC, but have proven to be extremely successful. Batrider was picked exclusively by Chinese teams and with a win-loss record of 7-1 we can probably expect to see him more as the tournament progresses. The same can

The amended counterclaim alleges a longstanding "historical and present day antipathy" for minorities and minority-owned businesses on the part of the Carpenter's Union. As an example, the amended counterclaim alleges that the Carpenter's Union failed to cooperate with the Philadelphia Mayor's Advisory Commission on Construction Industry Diversity, which was investigating and analyzing minority participation in the Philadelphia construction industry. Am. Answ. ¶ 51.

The amended counterclaim alleges three specific discriminatory actions by the plaintiffs. It alleges that the plaintiffs "submitt[ed] a formal demand for payment to Liberty Mutual Insurance Company as the first step in submitting an unsubstantiated claim against KIA's Performance Bond No. 019-025-018." It alleges that the plaintiffs "pressur[ed] the Schoolapplied the Twombly standard to a Bivens claim by a Pakistani Muslim alleging that high federal officials had knowingly approved policies after the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, under which, after his arrest on non-violent charges, he was placed in maximum security lock-down and subjected to beatings. The Supreme Court clarified that the Twombly standard applied to discrimination claims. It held that, although the plaintiff had alleged that the federal defendants knew of or condoned the allegedly unconstitutional actions taken against him, these allegations were legal conclusions that were not entitled to be assumed true. It also found that the plaintiff's allegations that thousands of Muslim men had been arrested after September 11 and placed in highly restrictive conditions of confinement, while consistent with the plaintiff's allegations of


Pilots Association, Captain Steven Anderson, who flies for Qantas, said that based on the details of the report, the debris could have caused catastrophic consequences had it actually struck the aircraft.

"For [the pilot] to have heard it, one of two things - [the debris] was a lot closer than he thinks or it was bigger and going at quite a high speed. "In other words, it's caused the piece to break the speed of sound which is what he's heard - the sound barrier.'' A spokesman for Airways New Zealand, which provides air navigation services across airspace known as the Auckland Flight Information Region, confirmed the incident to smh.com.au this morning.

He said it occurred about 10 minutes after the Lan Chile flight had entered the Auckland Flight Informationpilot and air traffic controllers were expected to be handed over to investigators in the next few days, he said. The Lan Chile flight landed safely at Auckland Airport at 3.55am today, he said. The Airways New Zealand spokesman was not aware of the name of the Russian satellite but it was likely to have been the Russian Progress 23P cargo freighter.

The unmanned spacecraft left the International Space Station on Tuesday and was due to burn through the upper layers of the Earth's atmosphere over the Pacific Ocean about 11.20am today [NZ time], the Spaceflight Now website reports. The Russian Progress 23P had docked at the ISS last October to supply fuel, oxygen and repair parts, it said.


dream woman

Anima’s main enticement is the promise of the best, most meaningful relationship of a man’s life if he goes the distance. He gets to marry his dream girl. She can be mom, lover, wife, muse, goddess, princess and best friend all in one—but usually not all at the same time. At least, not till the end of the process.

Instead, as a male matures through his lifetime relationship with anima, she evolves. She first appears as a mother figure. When he reaches his teen years she morphs into an ideal lover. When he matures into manhood, anima matures along with him, becoming a mature and independent female. Finally, she evolves into a goddess figure such as the Virgin Mary or the Hindu’s Devi, the Divine Mother. Unfortunately, it’sthe latest correspondence.

Kathy Griffin Heckles Megyn Kelly's Speech at THR Event

The Fox News anchor defended the President-elect at THR's Women in Entertainment event: "Despite the tweets and all the rest of it, there is much to admire about Donald Trump."

Kathy Griffin had some problems with Megyn Kelly's hopeful outlook for a Trump presidency.

At The Hollywood Reporter's annual Women in Entertainment breakfast Wednesday, Kelly revealed that she has "high hopes" for Trump's turn in the White House. The message was surprising to some, as the Kelly File host has been on the receiving end of Twitter attacks from Trump and death threats from his supporters after she confronted him about his sexist comments at a debate in 2015.

"Despite the tweets and all the rest of it, there is much to admireabout Donald Trump," she said. Griffin expressed her opinion in the room of power women, raising her middle finger at Kelly from the crowd as some also booed.

Kelly joked that Omarosa Manigault, who held a thumbs-up following her statement, would "hurt" Griffin and anyone who continued to boo.

Griffin even tweeted video of the incident, saying she just "HAD to boo the mention of Prez d bag."

Wellll, I just HAD to boo the mention of Prez d bag. Middle finger up! RT @THR: @MegynKelly re @RealDonaldTrump pic.twitter.com/Y2w683XjAB — Kathy Griffin (@kathygriffin) December 7, 2016

Car manufacturers often do this. I remember the last of the big Chevy Impalas back in the early 1990s. It arrived with low cutouts in the rear wheelwells. It made the huge vehicle seem even more whale-like, so after a few years, the rear wheels once again showed themselves.

Physicists at JILA have demonstrated a novel "superradiant" laser design, which has the potential to be 100 to 1,000 times more stable than the best conventional visible lasers. This type of laser could boost the performance of the most advanced atomic clocks and related technologies, such as communications and navigation systems as well as space-based astronomical instruments.

Described in the April 5, 2012, issue of Nature, the JILA laser prototype relies on a million rubidium atoms doing a sort of synchronized line dance to produce a dim beam of deep red laser light. JILA is a joint institute of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the University of Colorado Boulder (CU).

JILA/NIST physicist James Thompson says the new laser is based on a powerful engineering technique calledfrom a judgment of the district court of Rolette County, in favor of the Minneapolis, St. Paul and Saulte Ste. Marie Railroad Company, a corporation, hereinafter referred to as the Soo Line. The procedural history of the proceedings herein are substantially as follows:
The respondent Soo Line by posted notice and by letter to the North Dakota Public Service Commission, advised the general public and the Commission that effective April 12, 1954, the schedule of its branch line trains No. 211 and 212 would be changed from daily except Sunday service to tri-weekly service between Fordville and Kenmare, North Dakota. The Brotherhoods, appellants herein, objected to the proposed change of service by trains No. 211 and 212 and petitioned the Public Service Commission for a hearing thereon. After public


hearing the Commission issued its order dated December 30, 1954, authorizing the Soo Line, respondent, to initiate tri-weekly mixed train service between Fordville and Kenmare, North Dakota. On January 18, 1955 the Brotherhoods, appellants herein, petitioned the Public Service Commission for a rehearing and reconsideration of the order made December 30, 1954. The respondent Soo Line contested the right of the Brotherhoods to petition for reconsideration. By its order dated March 9, 1955, the Commission set the matter for rehearing before the full Commission on the 29th day of March, 1955. Thereafter and on July 20, 1955 the Commission reversed its order of December 30, 1954 and issued a new Order requiring the Soo Line, respondent, to operate one mixed train each way each day except Sunday overits branch line between Fordville and Kenmare. The Soo Line appealed from its order to the District Court of Rolette County pursuant to Section 28-3215, NDRC 1943. The district court held that the three Brotherhoods, appellants herein, were not parties aggrieved within the meaning of Section 28-3214, NDRC 1943 and that the Commission was without jurisdiction to review the allegations of error contained in the petition of the Brotherhoods for rehearing and that the order made by the Commission of December 30, 1954 was a final order and res judicata so far as the Brotherhoods were concerned and that any order made subsequent to December 30, 1954 was void for lack of jurisdiction. The district court further held that Section 49-1402, NDRC 1943 which requires railroads to operate

Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand says former boss Sir Alex Ferguson has left the club in a fantastic state.

Ferdinand also says he expects new manager David Moyes to implement his own methods at the club.

The 34-year-old adds that he expects Chelsea to be a threat this season with the return of former boss Jose Mourinho.Stockholm is scrapping its cars. At least, for a day. The Swedish capital plans to block the use of motorized vehicles in the city center for one day on Sept. 19, as a way to help citizens envision life in the city with fewer cars, and more alternate means of transport.

Traffic will be banned from the streets of Gamla Stan, the partially pedestrian “old city” of Stockholm, to the popular Sergel’s Square, including the roads around the city’s central station and some of the city’s surrounding bridges.

The initiative is part of the European Mobility Week, a project from the European Commission that seeks to promote sustainable transport. More than 200 cities will participate this year, touting various green initiatives. Among those, three national capitals—Budapest, Lisbon and Stockholm—will experiment


with a car-free day.

Stockholm has a history of pushing the envelope on civic sustainability, especially relating to transportation. In 2010, it won the first European Green Capital award, in part for its low transport emissions, clean water standards, and innovative waste management. A large proportion of its city buses and trains run on renewable fuels, making its share of clean vehicles among the highest in Europe."I had such a lump in my throat when I first came back to the camp. At first I couldn't draw anything," said the fine arts student.

"We're bringing back life to a dark place," said Harith, who fled Yarmuk several years ago, but returned after the regime ousted Islamic State group jihadists in May.

Equipped with paint brushes and pencils, they set out to translate suffering into art in a neighbourhood ravaged by years of bombardment and siege.

Last week, he was among 12 young artists to set up their easels in the once-crowded camp turned Damascus suburb, now largely abandoned after seven years of civil war.

"But then I realised that any glimpse of life amid all this death was a victory," he said, gesturing towards the battered buildings around him.

He and his peers stood sweeping paint across their canvases while the gentle melody of an oud -- a Middle Eastern lute -- was broadcast across the smashed concrete.

Harith painted an image of a small boy emerging from the ground, holding a bright red apple.

Before the war, Yarmuk was home to around 160,000 people, the United Nations says.

Set up in 1957 to house Palestinian refugees, over the decades it became a crowded district that was eventually swallowed up by Damascus.

But today it lies almost abandoned.

Around 140,000 residents fled clashes between the regime and rebels in 2012, leaving the rest to face severe food shortages under government encirclement.

In 2014, a harrowing photograph of gaunt-looking residents massing between ravaged buildings to receive handouts caused global outrage.

'Colour, not rubble'

Earlier this year, fighting between loyalists and jihadists displaced most of the remaining residents, according to the United Nations' agency for Palestinian refugees, UNRWA.

President Bashar al-Assad's troops retook control in May, ousting IS fighters from their last urban stronghold on the outskirts of the capital.

In late


May, UNRWA said an immediate return of residents was unlikely due to extensive damage to key infrastructure such as the water and power networks.

Artists paint in the Yarmuk Palestinian refugee camp on the southern outskirts of the capital Damascus on August 15, 2018 (photo by: Maher AL MOUNES/AFP)

Visiting the camp last month, UNRWA commissioner-general Pierre Krahenbuhl said he had rarely seen such damage.

"The scale of the destruction in Yarmuk compares to very little else that I have seen in many years of humanitarian work in conflict zones," he said.

On Saturday, the work of the young artists was displayed at the entrance of the Yarmuk camp, with a small crowd making the trip to see it.

Painter Hinaya Kebabi depicted a young boy with a missing eye, holding up adrawing of another eye to conceal his wound, the 22-year-old explained.

"One day, I hope people will come back here to colour, not rubble," she said.

One painting depicted streams of red running down a dark building.

In another, an emaciated man was curled up naked in the foetal position.

After the images were shared online, several internet users slammed the project as provocative.

"The camp is neither romantic nor a place for drawing," 28-year-old Abeer Abassiyeh said, as most former residents remain unable to return to their homes.

But Mohammed Jalbout, one of the organisers who hails from the Palestinian camp, defended the project.

Sen. Chuck Schumer, known as one of the most vocal supporters of the War on Drugs, has just signed his name to a Senate medical marijuana bill which would reschedule the drug.

The legislation, called the Carers Act, was introduced by Democratic Sen. Cory Booker in March and quickly gained support from Democratic Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, as well as GOP Sen. Rand Paul, among other legislators from both sides of the aisle.

In effect, the bill would reschedule marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule II, which would mean a recognition that marijuana has medicinal value.

The bill also seeks to allow banks to provide financial services to marijuana dispensaries in states that have legalized cannabis. In those states, veterans would be allowed to access medical marijuana instead of relying solely onof recording and that the Board unfairly blamed the breakdown in negotiations on the Company.

This argument is without merit.  The record makes clear that only the Company insisted on recording the bargaining sessions.  In the July 29, 1976 meeting, counsel for the union repeatedly objected to the presence of a court reporter.  Finally, after forty minutes of wrangling, he agreed to the use of one for that meeting but he continued his objection regarding future meetings.  In setting up the guidelines for the July 1977 meetings, the Company again introduced a demand for stenographic recording of the bargaining sessions.  The Union continued its objection to the procedure.  It was only "in the spirit of compromise" that the Union suggested electrical recording of


Runaway Vehicles – Freak Accidents Cause Injuries

Two seemingly random mistakes resulted in the death of one woman and injuries to others this week in two separate incidents. The first incident was in a Dallas auction house. A car auction was in progress at the Total Resource Action sale around ten-thirty in the morning yesterday when a 1994 Jeep Grand Cherokee went rogue. One of the auction employee’s was driving the Jeep to the display area when the accelerator stuck.

The unstoppable Jeep went through an aluminum wall and then into the crowd. Nine people were hit, but, Thank God, none of them were killed. Injuries were all non-life threatening and consisted of mostly fractures and cuts or bruises. Five were taken to local hospitals, and four simply received treatmentat the auction house.

Needless to say, I don’t think the Jeep will be selling for much.

Carwash Accidental Death

A small mistake at a carwash lead to the tragic death of 72-year-old Juana Gonzalez. Gonzalez and her family had taken their truck to a car wash in Conroe, Texas north of Houston. The family was patiently waiting for their truck when the accident happened.

A carwash worker was preparing to place the vehicle on the automated car wash track when he put the truck in “drive” instead of “neutral.” This small, but catastrophic mistake, sent the vehicle flying. The vehicle cratered through the car wash and crashed into the unlucky Mrs. Gonzalez who was 50 feet away from the car wash.

Though colloquially known as the “Muslim Ban” current restrictions include seven countries, some of whom do not actually have Muslim majorities, and most of whom have a lower economic output than their regional neighbors. Conservative justices ruled 5-4 that the ban was within Trump’s powers as a chief executive.

The four liberal on the court sharply disagreed. Justice Sonia Sotomayor compared the decision to Korematsu v. United States which endorsed the detention of Japanese-Americans during World War II.

Not only does this decision validate Trump’s ban, but it provides him with additional ammunition as he tries to justify his policies at the Mexican border, including the separation of children from their parents.

Lower courts had found that Trump’s ban was unconstitutional in part due to the president’s overt Islamophobia. Chief Justiceand standing with both upper limbs extended upward. The height at which the shuttlecock was served was equivalent to the sum of the distance from the ground when a player stood straight with both upper limbs extended upward, 45 to 55% of the maximum vertical jump height, and the length of the central shaft of a badminton racket (25 cm). The target shuttlecock was hung at the center of the force plate, a distance of 1.5 times of the leg length of each participant on a line extending along the boundaries in doubles toward the court middle line (greater trochanter to ankle lateral condyle). The height was the most distant point of the fingertips of the upper limbs in the stretching position plus 50% of the maximum vertical


training of the hip abduction and adduction in the lower limbs could enhance muscle control in the lower extremities and prevent lower limb joint injuries. To improve the muscle potential and capabilities, the agility ladder or plyometric training should be included in the training program. In this research, a shuttlecock was served at a target located in a single fixed position for participants to strike. It was found that striking the target could affect the landing strategies used by players. The landing strategies after target striking were relatively similar to those after smashes, compared with those after shadow training. In future research, the target position can provide the setting of training for badminton players' specific performance ability to find the most suitable swing target height and lateral distance.

Palace are also looking for another striker which could reduce Gayle’s chances of first-team football again next season.

After starting just eight Premier League games under the Pardew, Gayle could be open to a move to the North-East - especially if there is guaranteed first-team football on offer and the prospect of a quick return to the top flight.

Gayle almost quit Palace last year after a £9million bid from Bristol City while Norwich City were also in the hunt for the ex-Peterborough United man in January.

Newcastle would face competition from the Canaries again if he does decide to quit Selhurst Park but the Magpies will feel they can offer Gayle an excellent package and the chance


to be part of a new era at United under Rafa Benitez.

The Magpies are looking to add power and pace to their squad this summer with Benitez currently analysing all of the options on what is said to be an in-depth shortlist of targets.

Despite struggling for game-time at Palace Gayle has netted 26 goals for the club since 2013.Experience a style of living represented by unique and luxurious amenities at St. Andrews.

JFK Documents Highlight Talks On Clandestine Anti-Cuba Ops

Enlarge this image toggle caption AP AP

It was the late summer of 1962.

The previous year, the U.S. invasion of the Bay of Pigs, meant to topple the communist regime of Fidel Castro, had been an embarrassing failure.

The administration of President John F. Kennedy had turned instead to a Plan B to destabilize Cuba and hopefully take down Castro: Operation Mongoose.

A National Security Council memo released Thursday as part of the JFK assassination documents details a meeting to discuss possible clandestine operations aimed at sabotaging and destabilizing the Cuban regime.

Among those present at the meeting, which took place on Sept. 6, 1962 — just six weeks before the Cuban Missile Crisis – included National Security Advisor McGeorge "Mac" Bundy; Attorney General RobertSo A Korean War Veteran Walks Into a Protest

Demonstrators gathered this week in opposition to a voter ID proposal and other voting changes currently being considered by Republicans, who now

specific, state-approved forms of ID at the polls. The bill eliminates college IDs from a list of acceptable documents earlier approved in the state

Corporate Caterers is a franchise for a caterer who services corporate gatherings. Dennis McGinley and his partner Jim Gass started Corporate Caterers in 1997 in Miami, Fl.

The concept was discovered by the two through an observation that companies have been serving food to their clients while they entertain them. Employees alike are served food as they present their products. They realized the demand for very good food and a very reliable service as it sets the mood of people. Elda McGinley came into the picture in 2000. She has helped in developing their operations to cope with the advanced corporate world. The Boca Raton, Florida facility is opened in 2002. This is their second corporate office. Corporate Caterers expanded really well in 2008 inLeeds Riot Map 1643 - 2002

1643 Civil War Riot Whitecote Newlay Bridge During the Civil War, Parliament forces assaulted Leeds on January 23rd 1643. A demand for the town’s surrender was issued, but the Royalists dug in for a fight. The outer defences were overrun, and house-to-house fighting quickly descended into Royalists running away. During this assault, the Whitecote area near Newlay bridge (named after a “White Coat” Royalist regiment) saw a popular uprising in support of Fairfax. This might be the first recorded Leeds riot. http://fordmaguire.org/res_docs_riots.shtml

1735 Corn Price Riot "On account of the exportation of corn, on which there appears to have been a bounty, the prices of provisions greatly advanced, the indignation of the populace was roused, and tumults broke out in various parts of the


kingdom. The conduct of the rioters in Leeds was so violent that the king's troops were obliged to fire upon the multitude, and eight or nine of the people were killed" http://fordmaguire.org/res_docs_riots.shtml

1753 Turnpike Riots Old Kings Arms, Briggate Turnpikes, and toll roads, roads that you had to pay money to go on were introduced were very unpopular with the people. The people determined to destroy the toll bars and the houses of the collectors. They demolished the gate between Bradford and Leeds, and also those at Halton Dial and Beeston. Three of the rioters were arrested in Beeston, and shown before the borough magistrates then assembled at the King's Arms Inn, in Briggate. The mob having in the morning rescued a carter who had been seized by theCatherines Chapel, Holbeck August-September 1754. The Vicar of Leeds appointed a new minister for Holbeck without asking the people. This was a new vicar and had several issues with the towns parish chapels - each local chapel claimed the right to nominate their own minister. Apparently the new minister in Holbeck was chosen as a favour to his family. When he came to do his first service he was blocked by around a thousand "furious, frantic, lawless" group of people, angry at the corruption. The people assaulted the curate with dirt, stones and bricks. And the reverend had to leave. The trouble lasted for weeks, and eventually, on the fourth attempt, he was able to get into the chapel abd speak his sermon by the use fifty armed


dragoons provided on the order of the towns magistrates. The disturbances continued, and it was reported that the "rabble" subsequently broke into the chapel, tore up books and even human fecaes were produced and smeared on the walls and seats! The newspaper reports that one person was charged with the poo smearing the following year. The vicar published his sermon entitled: "The Behaviour of the Apostles Paul and Barnabas, Together with That of Some Riotous Opposers of Their Ministry Occasionally Consider'd in a Sermon Preach'd at Holbeck, in the Parish of Leedes. To which is prefix'd, a preface, Giving some Reasons for the Resignation of that Curacy." St Catherines Chapel (which had existed since the early ninth century) was demolished in 1836, St Michaels Church was built onthe land next to the graveyard of the chapel.

1812 Lady Ludd Cornprice Riot Briggate Riot of women and boys led by "Lady Ludd" at Corn Market in Leeds where also food shops were threatened. The person of Lady Ludd appeared on the 18th August, heading a crowd of people on Briggate where the market was being held. As they pressed up the street they heckled and badgered corn sellers, bakers, meal sellers, and farmers. There were confrontations and assaults. With certainty food and wheat were taken by the hungry. Then two days later, this time she was more demanding, with


the weight and power of the ordinary people behind her. The crowd seized potatoes that were being sold, and she ordered shopkeepers to lower their prices. It was just one of many similar actions across the North of England as desperate times drove men and women to the brink. See: http://www.bigbookend.co.uk/lady-ludd-maybe-by-chris-nickson/

1844 Military Riot Green Man pub, Kirkgate & Green Parrot, Harper St. In the area of the Green Man on Kirkgate, there were reports of soldiers making indiscriminate attacks on the population. In June, matters reached a head when violence between the general population and some soldiers of the 70th infantry (exacerbated by anti-Irish sentiments) broke out at the Green Man. Police called at the pub to arrest some soldiers named as responsible for beating a resident, EdwardThompson, but they were booed by an anti-police crowd as they led the men away. A fight ensued between police and soldiers, and the prisoners were briefly freed; they were later recaptured along with others and imprisoned. After appearing in court, these men were convicted and sentenced to imprisonment. To quell tension, the military were confined to barracks but orders were disobeyed, and many gathered, heavily armed, in the Green Parrot on Harper Street and went in search of revenge against the police. In major pitched battles that followed, the police came off worse, often with the population actively supporting the soldiers, but in some instances with civilians supporting police against army in a complex political situation. Following this riot, officers kept troops under control but the population


was still in aggressive mood and further battles between a mob and the police occurred in Briggate which were only quelled by cutlass-wielding constables. http://fordmaguire.org/res_docs_riots.shtml

1842 Holbeck Chartist Plug Riot Marshalls Mill, Holbeck "Around 10 thousand marched down Meadow Lane and from Holbeck and broke into Marshall's mills. They stopped the engines at Benyon's mill. From there they proceeded to the shops of Mailes and Marsh where a number entered by the watch house door and opened the large gates. Immediately the yard was filled, the engine stopped, the bell rung and the men were turning out, the mob began to leave the yard. At this instant Mr. Read Chief Constable rode into the yard amongst them, he was quickly dismounted but beat off the mob with his stick.to stop work and started destroying the place. "At this time a few of the 17th Lancers arrived accompanied by two of the Messrs Eyres of Armley. The Riot Act was read and a few minutes allowed for the people to disperse. The people however instead of dispersing moved in one vast body on the military, which only numbered thirteen privates and one superior officer. Seeing the vast superiority of numbers, the soldiers prudently turned their horses heads and retired followed by the groans of the people and a few stones which served to quicken their pace." http://fordmaguire.org/res_docs_riots.shtml

1865 Leeds Dripping Riot Park Square, Leeds On 23rd January, Mrs Eliza Stafford, cook to a surgeon and magistrate Mr Henry Chorley, of 8 Park Square, came before local magistrates accused


of stealing 2lb of dripping. She was found guilty and imprisoned for one month in Armley. Her case was widely publicised and occasioned huge public sympathy - even in 1865 the offence of stealing a bit of dripping was regarded as relatively trivial, and as the month of incarceration proceeded, the local working class become increasingly incensed about the Dripping Injustice, with widespread public bad feeling and disorder. On Tuesday 22 February, Eliza Stafford's was due to be released and at about 9 am a crowd of several thousand gathered outside Armley Gaol in expectation of the release. However Stafford had been released earlier around 7 am and had left Leeds to travel to Scarborough where her daughter lived. The crowd, denied its target, mostly dispersed but abouta thousand people marched from the prison to Chorley's house in Park Square and threw stones that broke several windows in the house. The Chief Constable of Leeds, William Bell, and some police officers managed to form a cordon round the house and withstood several attempts by the protestors to break through the police line to the house. During the lunch hour the numbers of people in the square increased as workers came to view the affair. The Mayor of Leeds, John Darnton Luccock, worried by the crowd called for assistance from Bradford police and from the army at York. At 1 pm as many people left the square, their lunch periods over, the police decided to try and clear the square. After issuing a notice ordering the


the blacklegs to depart, which many did. By evening, a crowd of 10000-15000 was charging the works and conducting pitched battles with the police, resulting in a large and very bloody battle. Police were drafted in from Bradford, York and Huddersfield, and large number of foot and mounted soldiers also deployed. At around 8pm on Tuesday 1st July some 260 blacklegs, in company with the Mayor and other civic dignitaries set out, guarded by a force of some 500. The scale of public excitement and hostility can be judged by the numbers outside the Town Hall, estimated at 30000. The procession approached the railway bridges close to the works, which had been occupied by the gasworkers and their supporters, who started to direct a major bombardment on the1917 saw major disturbances in the predominantly Jewish area of the Leylands (bordered by North Street and Regent Street); during the Jewish influx of the 1890s and later, most immigrants (especially the poorer ones) had settled here and the district was colloquially referred to as the “Leeds Jewish ghetto” On both evenings, trouble flared after gangs (mostly young and male) gathered at the borders of the area and started smashing windows, with whole streets of shop frontages being wrecked; there were also instances of looting. After the first night’s trouble, affairs escalated and events on the second night involved rather more people active over a wider territory, up into Mabgate. On the evening of the 5th June a very heavy police presence prevented any recurrence and there was


of some thousands is reported as gathering in the neighbourhood of the Corn Exchange, Boar Lane and Briggate. On the first day, a tram was compelled to stop in Duncan Street, and many of its windows were broken by missiles of coal being thrown from an appropriated lorry. There were many instances of police use of horses and truncheons, and several minor injuries and arrests. On the following day similar crowds were stoning buses and trams. One of those arrested, Violet Snowden, was told by the magistrate she confronted “You women ought to use your influence to keep the menfolk quiet”. http://fordmaguire.org/res_docs_riots.shtml

1936 Battle of Holbeck Moor Holbeck Moor On 27th September 1936, following a week of tension during which the British Union of Fascists was forbidden by thecity's Watch Committee to march through the Jewish quarter (Leylands), Oswald Mosley paraded over 1000 uniformed Blackshirts in Calverley Street, and marched them to Holbeck. Opposition to the event had been organised and publicised some days previously, with the Communist Party taking the lead; relations between the left wing parties being what they were, the Labour Party refused to take part in the protests. The newspapers reported that there was a huge crowd of 30,000 on the moor with a very significant hostile element. As Mosley spoke, the Red Flag was sung repeatedly in efforts to drown him out, and a large number of stones were thrown at the fascists. Many of these found their targets, with Mosley himself being struck. The city magistrates moralised endlessly in the


exasperated by widespread distrust of the police and authority, and were pecieved by many communities as race riots. The disturbance started near the Hayfield pub, the pub and the area around it allegedly had a reputation for drugs and violence. 200 to 300 people took part, many of them white (in contrast to the events of 1975) Black and white youths were said to have caused 2 million pounds worth of "damage, as burning, looting and fighting with the police on Chapeltown Road and on Harehills Road broke out over the nights of 12-13 July." 43 people were injured. Twenty four people were arrested and most were convicted. During the nationwide riots, Margeret Thatcher, the Conservative Prime Minister, considered actually arming the police with guns and live ammunition.to police this area, and they've been provoking people now for two or three months," one youth said. Suspicion was aroused about police tactics in the area when high-intensity lighting was installed around the Jolly Buffer pub - still known locally by its former name, the Newlands. Under new ownership, the pub - which was burnt out in Monday night's violence - had attempted to improve its image, but one of the new landlords were suspected by local youths of being a former police officer. The other landlord was injured in an attack by youths two weeks ago, since when the pub had been closed. With commanding views of an area where local youths congregate, the pub was also believed to house a police surveillance unit which gathered

We Found Him! INSIDE EDITION Tracks Down Fire Rescue Hero

The mysterious man was videotaped slinging a grandfather over his shoulder after rescuing him from a house fire. Now, everyone wants to know, who's this new American hero who risked everything to save a stranger?

He strode away moments after the daring rescue never saying a word, not even telling people his name.

Here's what we know: A 73-year-old grandfather hooked up to an oxygen tank found himself trapped inside his kitchen in Fresno, California, when fire broke out in the garage.

A passerby caught the drama on her cell phone. You can hear the panicked voice of the trapped grandfather's daughter calling out to him, "Poppy! Get my dad!"

Enter the guy inthe blue Los Angeles Dodgers cap. In the video he can be seen walking right towards the inferno.

The woman who shot the video told INSIDE EDITION, "I do remember this man in a blue cap is very calmly walking toward where the house was."

Forty agonizing seconds passed. And then, there he was. Blue hat guy emerged carrying the grandfather, identified as Robert Wells, over his shoulder.

"Thank God!" cried a witness.

Then, just like that, the hero disappeared.

So, who is he? Well, now we know! His name is Tom Artiaga, he's 48 years old, and he works as a truck driver.

Artiaga told INSIDE EDITION, "I was driving by actually and I heard the girl screaming her dad was in there. It was just instincts to help out someone."

The Blessing Stone

I'm pleased to announce that THE BLESSING STONE is now available as an audio book.

Millions of years ago, a meteorite fell to Earth and shattered, revealing a beautiful blue stone. One hundred thousand years ago, a girl named Tall One found the crystal on the African plain, and it formed her destiny—as well as the destiny of generations to come.

From ancient Israel to Imperial Rome, medieval England to fifteenth-century Germany, the eighteenth-century Caribbean, and the nineteenth-century American West, the destiny of the stone and the history of the world unfold.

About 300 thousand young starlet launched in the Kaluga oku

About 300 thousand young starlet moved to the aquatic fauna of Kaluga. The relocation took place the day before, as compensation for damage resulting from construction works during the construction of a new bridge across the Oka river.

Sturgeon ran in a deserted place, so as not to cause harm. To the new environment, the young fish still have to get used to, so the bottom fish were gone immediately. The funds, which is about 8 million rubles for the purchase and breeding of sterlet received from the Federal budget. Age of fry is not more than five months.

The decision keeps the Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution, or MAVEN, mission on schedule for liftoff Nov. 18 at the opening of a 20-day primary launch window. "I learned this morning that NASA has analyzed the MAVEN mission relative to the Anti-Deficiency Act and determined that it meets the requirements allowing an emergency exception," said Bruce Jakosky, MAVEN's principal investigator from the University of Colorado at Boulder's Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics. NASA sent 97 percent of its civil servant workforce home Tuesday after Congress failed to pass a federal budget, only granting exceptions for activities deemed essential for the protection of life or property. While administrators, support staffs and scientists were furloughed,operations of the International Space Station in support of its six-person crew continued this week, along with data-gathering activities on the Hubble Space Telescope and NASA's rovers and orbiters already at Mars. But the government shutdown halted work on missions still in development on the ground, such as MAVEN. Officials feared an extended government shutdown could threaten the mission's ability to launch by mid-December, the last chance to send a spacecraft to Mars until the planets are in the right positions again in early 2016. With the MAVEN work stoppage lifted Thursday, engineers lost about three days of work on the spacecraft. But officials with Lockheed Martin Corp., MAVEN's prime contractor, said last week the mission was nine days ahead of schedule going into the shutdown. "Good news


retains memory of past resistance, so you can't say 'Let's try out penicillin' because [the bacteria] has a memory for it."

The bacteria's penchant for building up resistance has put drug companies in a tough place—developing a new antibiotic is expensive and unlikely to be profitable, and within a few years, gonorrhea would likely develop a resistance to any new drugs used on it, she says.

"Drug manufacturers are in a bizarre scenario—why would they spend a ton of money developing a new drug for what was, until now, one of the most easily treatable STI's?" she says. "They know if they do develop a new drug, it's going to rapidly develop resistance."

So far, every case of gonorrhea in the United States has been treatable through some combination of antibiotics,Naval Academy expelling mid for setting fires

ANNAPOLIS, MD. — The U.S. Naval Academy says it is in the process of expelling a midshipman accused of setting 11 small fires across the campus.

WMAR-TV reports that a spokesman said Wednesday that the minor garbage fires were set in menís bathrooms on campus in September. The small fires were extinguished quickly and damage was minimal. The student was apprehended Sept. 24.

The academy will not reveal the studentís identity citing the privacy act under the Midshipman Conduct System.


Forget cricket bats, golf clubs and carbon dioxide. Australia has found a new weapon in its war on the dreaded cane toad: cat food.

Researchers with the University of Sydney found that a few tablespoons of cat food left next to ponds in the Northern Territory attracts fierce Australian meat ants, which then attack baby cane toads as they emerge from the water. The results of the study were published in the British Ecological Society's Journal of Applied Ecology this week.

It is the latest weapon in Australia's seemingly endless battle against the cane toad, which was introduced from Hawaii in 1935 in an unsuccessful attempt to control beetles on sugarcane plantations. The toads bred rapidly, and their millions-strong population now threatens many species across Australia.

Early cane toad killing methodsHONG KONG (SE): “The Chinese party-state is tightening the vice on both foreign and domestic non-government organisations (NGO) sending strong new signals of its determination to repress unwelcome foreign influences and activities that spread western values,” Stanley Lubman, from the Berkley School of Law at the University of California, says in an article published by ChinaRealTime on June 16.

Commenting on a draft of the Foreign NGO Management Act, which was released in May and anticipated by personnel from some organisations in China to come into force sometime this month, Lubman says, “(It) doesn’t just threaten to damage Chinese civil society, but also demonstrates a strong willingness to use legislation to assert authoritarian government without procedural justice.”

However, Beijing is presenting the act as providing protection for foreign and local


NGOs by offering them an easier path to registration.

“The Chinese government places great importance on the management of foreign NGOs in China,” Gou Shengkun, a state councillor and minister for Public Security, told a gathering of NGO representatives and foreign diplomats in Shanghai on July 25.

In introducing the Foreign NGO Management Act, he said that his government wants to better promote international exchanges and cooperation, and assist foreign NGOs to function affectively in line with the principles of a socialist country and to give them better legal protection.

Gou said that the bottom line purpose of the act is to create a more pragmatic atmosphere within which foreign NGOs can operate.

There is some precedent for unsealing Watergate documents. In 2011 the same judge, U.S. District Chief Judge Royce Lamberth, ordered that a secret transcript of President Nixon's testimony to a grand jury about the Watergate break-in be made public. Lamberth agreed with historians that arguments for releasing the 297-page transcript outweighed arguments for secrecy, because the investigations are long over and Nixon died in 1994.
