Street politics in the West Bank
by Christopher J Lee, 30 June 2011
On June 5, I witnessed a protest against Israel's "separation" wall in the West Bank. This non-violent demonstration was organised by Stop the Wall to mark Naksa Day, an annual commemoration of Palestinian displacement after the 1967 Six Day war. Stop the Wall is a grassroots organisation that campaigns to end the new form of Israeli apartheid that has taken hold with the construction of the purported security barrier - reaching up to 8 metres and hundreds of kilometres long.
The mid-day confrontation did not remain non-violent for long. As hundreds of marchers from Ramallah, the seat of the Palestinian Authority (PA), gathered near the traffic circle in front of the Qalandia checkpoint, Israeli police and military wasted no time before firing tear gas into the crowd. This speed of response was frightening. A sense of apprehension informed the day: a few weeks before, the protests of Nakba Day on May 15 had resulted in at least 15 Palestinian dead along the Syrian border. No one knew how far the police and soldiers of the Israeli Defence Force (IDF) were willing to go to disperse the demonstrators.
After the immediate, unwarranted reaction, the push back was for the most part restrained. In contrast to views of Israel's security being under constant threat, the military units present appeared wholly confident, even blasé, about the situation. Within an hour, the soldiers had secured the roof of a building, from where they could fire tear gas on the crowd with little fear of reprisal.
At this point, the situation evolved into political street theatre. With the IDF unit firmly ensconced in its rooftop position, a handful of young Palestinian men approached from the street to launch stones with homemade slingshots. Taking turns, they taunted the soldiers on the roof with their nimble skills and youthful courage. And when they looked too confident, the IDF fired another volley of tear gas, with Red Crescent ambulances at the ready to help those who had inhaled too much. An eclectic group of photojournalists were in position at the bottom of the building, equipped with gas masks and body armour, ready to capture this iconic image.
But beyond their lenses, the traffic on the other side of the road rumbled on as usual. Qalandia is one of the main checkpoints between Ramallah and Jerusalem, and the stretch of road from Ramallah to Qalandia is one of the busiest in the West Bank. As the protest shut down two of its four lanes, a column of slow-moving traffic—taxis, buses, commercial trucks, private vehicles— formed in the remaining two. Picture this: on one side of the street, a tense political confrontation between the IDF and several hundred protestors; on the other, daily West Bank traffic, barely stymied by the protest. Those Palestinian drivers and their passengers simply wanted to get to where they were going and carry on with their daily lives, and rolled up their car windows whenever another round of tear gas was fired.
I do not mean to undermine Stop the Wall's protest and its political significance, or to suggest the IDF did not represent a physical threat. A more violent situation could have transpired. Yet the contrasting dynamics of the afternoon offer a more complete picture than the stereotypes of teenage Palestinian boys throwing stones and burning tires which the photojournalists were attempting to capture. It depicts a more complex set of politics among Palestinians than either western journalists or the Israeli government portray.
After several weeks in the West Bank, what became clear to me was the active financial investment in Ramallah, as well as neighbouring cities such as Nablus and Bethlehem. Residential high-rise buildings, university campuses and commercial neighbourhoods in these urban areas all pointed to economic development. This growth reflects the aspirations of many Palestinians to prosperous jobs and social stability amid the endless political negotiations between Israel and the PA. Though these discussions are crucial for the future of the region, they make little daily impression on Palestinian families and communities who have more immediate needs to be met.
It is important to recognise the two sets of politics present at Qalandia that day. The concerns of the drivers and passengers are no less political than the demonstrators directly involved on the other side of the street. In fact, to neglect the politics of everyday life—securing work, food, transportation, housing, education and other daily needs—in the Occupied Territories is to ignore the common vulnerabilities and struggles shared by all Palestinians during, and between, days of political commemoration. The wall symbolises the physical limitations placed on Palestinian communities by the Israeli government, but it does not tell of the strategies and resilience that Palestinians have employed to overcome such measures, to progress socially and economically.
As the time for the possible declaration of Palestinian statehood by September approaches, we should keep this dichotomy in mind, in order to understand the meaning of, and debate over, this option among Palestinians. It is not an either/or choice. The connections between grassroots mobilisation and the politics of everyday life in the West Bank must be addressed to grasp the complexity of popular politics, and what is at stake for whom and when. We must take both stories into account. We must look at both sides of the street.

The End of Headphone Jack Era On iPhone 7
With the news of an all new iPhone 7 hitting the stores in the next few months, the rumors are starting to catch fire on the internet. If you happen to be someone who are interested in knowing the rumors about the all new iPhone 7, then you have landed on the right page. The below mentioned information would rather be amusing for you to say the least. Without further ado, let's discuss a rumor that has been percolating all over the internet lately and see how you respond to it.
Among a huge range of rumors that have been spreading all over the internet regarding the newest installment of smartphones by Apple Inc, the greatest one has to be the end of headphone jack era. Yes absolutely, you heard it. It has been rumored that the iPhone 7 will not be making use of a traditional 3.5mm headphone jack as its predecessors have been using. What's even bigger is that the rumor has been taken to the next level since a prototype of the iPhone 7 has already been leaked and it seems like the rumor regarding the removal of headphone jack indeed is going to be absolutely true.
Since the leaked images of the iPhone 7 have been uploaded by none other than @OnLeaks and uSwitch, it is hard to not believe the rumor since the leaker has made quite a bit of reputation for itself over the years. The rumor of the new iPhone getting rid of a headphone jack started right at the beginning of this year and as per the leaked prototype images of the phone on the internet, the rumor certainly appears to be true. Apple has finally accomplished the removal of the headphone jack with an introduction of a newer and perhaps better alternative for it.
There is no argument over the fact that the removal of the traditional headphone jack probably means an introduction of the era of wireless headphones that can be considered as convenient, however, it does also imply that it would be impossible for the user to make use of a random headphone set with his iPhone 7. Finding the very specific headphones which are going to be compatible with Apple iPhone 7 is going to be a little complicated. It is indispensable to mention here though that as long as the iPhone 7 hasn't hit the market, the rumors are to be taken with a grain of salt. After all, it won't be a novel scenario to have a rumor leaked by a highly reputed source that ultimately turns out to be wrong.
It should go without saying that the removal of the headphone jack is not going to be the only feature that is being introduced with an all new iPhone 7. There are multiple different rumors regarding the features that the new smartphone by Apple Inc. is going to introduce. A few of such speculations may include and are not confined to the following:
– It'll be the fastest smartphone built by Apple Inc. ever
– Apple will make use of its highly advanced optics on the iPhone 7
– At least a single feature will be introduced in iPhone 7 that won't be found in any of the other smartphones available in the market
– iPhone 7 will only be available in rose gold color
It is to be kept in mind however, that the above mentioned are only a fraction of the speculations which have been made regarding an all new iPhone 7. The actual list of features being introduced with the smartphone us going to be much bigger.
In the light of the information mentioned above, it can almost be taken for granted that the rumor of iPhone 7 getting rid of the headphone jack does have a reasonable amount of proofs to support the claim. While nothing can be said with surety until the phone hits the market in a few months, it won't be wrong to conclude that a few major features are destined to be introduced with the all new iPhone 7. How well the users are going to respond to them however, is yet to be unfolded.

Visit Virginia's Blue Ridge
Roanoke Offers Exceptional Eats and Craft Beers, Along with Indoor and Outdoor Entertainment for All Ages
by Samantha Shannon | Apr 15, 2019
With an incredible variety of international cuisine, craft breweries and indoor and outdoor entertainment, Roanoke is a region worth visiting.
The region's new branding effort, dubbed Virginia's Blue Ridge, promotes the area as "America's East Coast Mountain Biking Capital," but it also has a Roanoke Valley Greenway system with more than 30 miles of paved trails for those of us who prefer a more mellow bike ride or stroll.
A weekend trip to Roanoke can start with a visit to the iconic star on Mill Mountain, easily accessed from the Blue Ridge Parkway. With more than 10 miles of hiking and biking trails, Mill Mountain is prime for outdoor fun, with a zoo and a discovery center.
A short ride down the mountain takes you into the heart of the city, where everything is within easy walking distance. Center in the Square, a seven-story nonprofit cultural center, greets visitors with brightly colored fish in aquariums. The Center houses the Science Museum of Western Virginia, the Kids Square and the Roanoke Pinball Museum, where you can spend too much time trying to run up your score. The Center in the Square is also home to the Harrison Museum of African American Culture and Mill Mountain Theatre.

Roanoke Farmers Market
Clustered around the historic farmers market stalls, which are filled with local produce on Saturdays from May to September, are a variety of shops including the eponymous Chocolatepaper, Ladles & Linens, Walkabout Outfitter and two craft breweries: Deschutes and Three Notch'd. On a recent visit, my fiancé Michael Kelly and I sampled a flight at Deschutes and ate a tasty Mexican lunch at Cancun, while across the street on Campbell Avenue visitors can sample Lebanese, Indian and Afghan cuisine.
A short walk up Salem Avenue is the Taubman Museum of Art, where Outside Eyes: New Perspectives on the Collection is on display through June 2, 2019.
A pedestrian walkway goes over the railroad tracks to the Hotel Roanoke, the Virginia Blue Ridge Visitor Center and the O. Winston Link Museum & History Museum of Western Virginia, which highlights Link's photography and the city's early history as an important rail hub.
After all that walking, take a break for a short drive to Blue Cow Ice Cream, which makes everything on site with as many local products as possible. Manager Tresa Walko said the sea salt brickle with caramel swirl has proven to be the most popular and for good reason. Other unusual scoops included goat cheese with blueberry swirl, strawberry balsamic and vegan chocolate.
We were ready for a break and headed to SpringHill Suites by Marriott, where we were treated to a lovely corner room with a view of Mill Mountain and easy access to the greenway along the Roanoke River.

Roanoke has several craft brewers. At Starr Hill Pilot Brewery, Manager Scottie Neighbors said they serve as a test market for new beers. Being hopheads, Michael and I sampled a flight of IPAs—the hazy Looking Glass was my favorite. We then visited Big Lick Brewing Company. (Roanoke used to be known as Big Lick because of the natural salt outcroppings visited by wildlife.) Taproom Manager Adam McDearmon said their brewery was named among the top 50 fastest growing beer companies in 2017.
At Fortunato, a traditional Italian kitchen, we had one of the best meals ever. We started with mussels and clams in a spicy arrabbiata sauce, and Chef Jeff Farmer sent out lamb meatballs. I tried a half glass of a tasty Barolo and a mouthwatering plate of pasta with pecorino cheese and black truffles. Michael feasted on a half chicken with rice polenta. Somehow, we made room for two desserts: a chocolate pudding cake and ricotta doughnuts.
The next morning, we hit the greenway for a short walk before heading to an exceptionally good breakfast bar at SpringHill Suites.
On the way back to Lynchburg, we stopped at Greenfield Lake in Daleville for some birding before heading up the hill to Ballast Point Brewing Company, the only East Coast venue for this impressive San Diego, Calif.–based brewery.
Our last stop in Daleville was a late lunch at Donnie D's Bagels & Deli, which just opened in September 2018. We ate delicious bagel sandwiches as owner Donnie DeGeorgis told us this was a brand new career for him. He has already mastered a variety of bagels, from sundried tomato to asiago cheese.

Woman Allegedly Attacked Another with Pepper Spray at Fort Bragg's Carnival by the Sea
CrimeFeaturedFort BraggNews
The lights of Fort Bragg's Carnival by the Sea [Photo by Chris Hansen]
Last night two adult women engaged in a physical altercation amidst the laughter and lights of Fort Bragg's annual Carnival by the Sea. Preceding the incident, Fort Bragg Police Captain Thomas O'Neil told us the two women had "been involved in a social media dispute with one of the females currently dating the other female's ex-boyfriend."
Captain O'Neil said multiple eyewitnesses described a 19-year-old woman approaching 20-year-old Lacee Cummings. Cummings allegedly produced a taser demanding the 19-year-old "get back". The 19-year-old continued to come near Cummings who attempted to use the taser but dropped it on the ground.
Cummings allegedly produced pepper spray and sprayed the 19-year-old in the face. The victim was hospitalized to "receive minor treatment for pepper spray exposure" and later "signed a citizen's arrest to have Cummings arrested."
Cummings and her boyfriend proceeded to flee the carnival grounds before a responding officer stopped the pair several blocks away from the event. Cummings would be taken into custody and arrested for the alleged crimes
Captain O'Neil made note that multiple witnesses "reported the victim was accompanied by several friends and Cummings was in fear that she was going to be assaulted." These eyewitness accounts as well as social media posts "involving Cummings and her boyfriend being threatened" are being investigated. The incident is still actively being looked into, Captain O'Neil said, "due to the multiple conflicting witness statements. Anyone who may have witnessed the event should reach out to Officer Frank at jfrank@fortbragg.com."
Remember, any charges associated with this incident have not been proven in a court of law and the details of the incident are still being sorted out. In accordance with the legal principle of the presumption of innocence, any individual described should be presumed innocent until proven guilty.

I say put them both in the octagon to battle it out MMA style, sell tickets and everything. Advertise on social media. Could raise some money for some good cause!
Bystander July 10, 2022 At 8:37 pm
Interesting LEO identifies the aggressor who made prior threats in writing and during the incident, as the victim just because she was pepper sprayed. Wow! I guess in Fort Bragg you can't defend yourself against an aggressive person who threats and tries to assault you. Besides that, who on earth goes to the hospital for pepper spray? You wanna get in a fight, you'd better toughen up buttercup! No sympathy here.

I was waiting for an uplifting report on the Carnival with pictures and happy kids.
Looks like this is all we get.
Still waiting for an uplifting report on the Salmon feed, fireworks, Albion Fire Department BBQ and Caspar get together with pictures of happy people. I guess peace love and understanding are not newsworthy.
What say you Matt??

No contexto da criminalidade brasileira, a partir da década de 2000 e de início no Rio de Janeiro, milícia designa um modus operandi de organizações criminosas formadas em comunidades urbanas de baixa renda, como conjuntos habitacionais e favelas, inicialmente, e que a princípio efetuam práticas ilegais sob a alegação de combater o crime do narcotráfico. Tais grupos se mantêm com os recursos financeiros provenientes da extorsão da população e da exploração clandestina de gás, televisão a cabo, máquinas caça-níqueis, agiotagem, ágio sobre venda de imóveis, etc.

São formadas por policiais, bombeiros, guardas municipais, vigilantes, agentes penitenciários e militares, fora de serviço ou na ativa. Muitos milicianos também são moradores das comunidades e contam com respaldo de políticos e lideranças comunitárias locais. Mas, com a rápida expansão destes grupos, muitos ex-traficantes e pastores religiosos foram aliciados pelas milícias. Portanto, milícias atuais são formadas tanto por agentes de segurança pública (polícia e forças armadas), agentes políticos locais e moradores das comunidades.

Sob o pretexto de garantir a segurança contra traficantes, os milicianos passaram a intimidar e extorquir moradores e comerciantes, cobrando taxa de proteção. Através do controle armado, esses grupos também controlam o fornecimento de muitos serviços aos moradores. São atividades como o transporte alternativo (que serve aos bairros da periferia), a distribuição de gás e a instalação de ligações clandestinas de TV a cabo.

Segundo o Núcleo de Pesquisas das Violências da Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro, até a operação no Complexo do Alemão e na Vila Cruzeiro, no final de novembro de 2010, as milícias dominavam 41,5% das 1 006 favelas do Rio de Janeiro (contra 55,9% por traficantes, e 2,6% pelas Unidades de Polícia Pacificadora). De acordo com a pesquisa Mapa dos Grupos Armados do Rio de Janeiro, divulgada em 19 de outubro de 2020, na capital fluminense as milícias controlam 41 bairros, onde moram mais de 2 milhões de pessoas. O levantamento indica que o poder dos milicianos já é maior do que o de todas as outras facções criminosas juntas.

Histórico

Origens
As milícias existem no Rio de Janeiro desde a década de 1970, controlando algumas favelas da cidade. Um dos primeiros casos conhecidos é o da favela de Rio das Pedras, na região de Jacarepaguá, onde comerciantes locais se organizaram para pagar policiais para que não permitissem que a comunidade fosse tomada por traficantes ou outros tipos de criminosos, em 1979.

No início do século XXI, estes grupos parapoliciais começaram a competir pelas áreas controladas pelas facções do tráfico de drogas. Em dezembro de 2007, segundo relatos, as milícias controlavam 92 das mais de 300 favelas cariocas.

Expansão
Os primeiros relatos sobre a expansão recente e repentina das forças milicianas descreviam a milícia como uma forma de segurança alternativa, por oferecer, às favelas, a oportunidade de se livrar da dominação das facções do tráfico. A ação das milícias começou a ser relatada na imprensa brasileira em 2005, quando o jornal O Globo denunciou grupos que cobravam pela segurança, marcando símbolos de trevos de quatro folhas, pinheiros, entre outros, nas casas dos clientes, de forma a demonstrar quais destas moradias estariam protegidas por cada grupo. Ainda hoje, este tipo de marcação ocorre nas favelas controladas por milicianos, prestando um serviço que, teoricamente, deveria ser oferecido pelo Estado devido ao pagamento de impostos.

De início, muitas pessoas das favelas deram o seu apoio, chegando a eleger líderes de milícias a importantes cargos políticos, como os de vereador e deputado. Comentaristas dos meios de comunicação, políticos e até o então prefeito da cidade, César Maia, também apoiaram os grupos de milícias. César Maia, inclusive, chegou a chamá-las de "autodefesas comunitárias" e um "mal menor que o tráfico".

Entretanto, não tardaria para que emergissem histórias nas favelas mudando essa imagem positiva. As milícias acabaram tomando conta dos lugares com violência e, depois, sustentavam sua presença através da exigência de pagamentos semanais dos moradores para manter a segurança. Além disso, como as facções do tráfico, os milicianos começaram a impor toques de recolher e regras rígidas nas comunidades, sob pena de castigos violentos em caso de descumprimento e atuando com suas próprias regras e julgamentos.

Ataques de dezembro de 2006
Entre 27 e 31 de dezembro de 2006, facções do tráfico lançaram uma série de ataques contra alvos da polícia, civis e até do governo em toda a cidade, em represália ao avanço das milícias. Os traficantes incendiaram ônibus e jogaram bombas em edifícios públicos. Dezenove pessoas foram mortas, sendo dez civis, dois policiais e sete criminosos. Em um incidente, traficantes mataram sete pessoas quando incendiaram o ônibus em que viajavam. Dois passageiros morreram mais tarde no hospital devido à gravidade de suas queimaduras e outros 14 ficaram seriamente feridos. A polícia prendeu três homens e confiscou armas de fogo, granadas e munições. A polícia fluminense reagiu da mesma forma, matando mais de cem suspeitos pelos ataques.

Repercussão
A partir de então, o governo estadual empossado em 1º de janeiro de 2007 liderado pelo governador Sérgio Cabral reconheceu a crescente ameaça das milícias ao poder do estado. O secretário de Segurança Pública do Estado, José Mariano Beltrame, e o chefe da Polícia Militar confirmaram sua existência e iniciaram investigações dos policiais suspeitos de envolvimento em atividades ilegais ligadas a essas milícias.

O governador Cabral declarava, em fevereiro daquele ano, que, independente de haver um mandado de prisão, prenderia qualquer cidadão ligado a poderes paralelos como o tráfico e as milícias. O governo anterior, de Rosinha Garotinho, não reconhecia a existência dos grupos parapoliciais.

Na época, a polícia e o Ministério Público (Brasil) diziam que a filiação a uma milícia não constituía delito criminal de acordo com a lei brasileira, o que não permitia processar as milícias como um grupo.

Expansão para outros estados
Em 2016, a ação de milicianos já havia se expandido para outros estados além do Rio de Janeiro. Foi identificada a ocorrência do fenômeno em Pará, São Paulo, Bahia, Ceará, Minas Gerais, Goiás, Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul e outros estados brasileiro.

Cronologia

2007
Em janeiro de 2007, milicianos travaram uma guerra com traficantes na favela Cidade Alta, em Cordovil, ocorrendo até denúncias que o grupo paramilitar recebeu apoio de um caveirão da Polícia Militar do Estado do Rio de Janeiro para invadir a comunidade. Em 4 de fevereiro, os milicianos chegaram a ocupar a favela, a qual, três dias depois, foi retomada pelos traficantes do Comando Vermelho, liderado pelo Mineiro da Cidade Alta.

Entre dezembro de 2007 e março de 2008, a mílicia matou 5 traficantes no Morro do Dezoito, entre Quintino Bocaiúva e Água Santa, ao tentar invadir a favela. Um cinegrafista amador mandou imagens para a Rede Globo de um grupo de homens vestidos de preto, supostamente milicianos, de vigília no Cruzeiro de Água Santa, no alto da favela, logo após a ameaça de que traficantes tentariam retomar o controle da favela. Desde então, diversos confrontos ocorreram na favela, que está sendo disputada entre os milicianos e traficantes do Comando Vermelho. Neste mesmo período, famílias chegaram a ser expulsas de casa e espancadas na favela da Palmeirinha, em Guadalupe, onde milicianos mataram pelo menos quatro pessoas.

2008
Em maio de 2008, num dos episódios mais violentos, milicianos que controlavam a favela do Batan, em Realengo, sequestraram e torturaram um grupo de jornalistas do jornal O Dia que estavam disfarçados morando na favela há 14 dias para fazer uma reportagem sobre a atuação desse grupo paramilitar. Os jornalistas ficaram 7 horas sob o poder dos milicianos, mas foram libertados com vida, por medo de excesso de atenção da mídia (como ocorrera no caso do jornalista Tim Lopes). A identidade das vítimas permanece em segredo — com exceção do fotojornalista Nilton Claudino, que revelou ser uma delas em matéria publicada na revista piauí em agosto de 2011. Entre os envolvidos, foram citados dois políticosː um deputado estadual (apelidado pelos companheiros milicianos de Coronel) e seu filho, um vereador. Estes seriam, supostamente, Coronel Jairo e seu filho, Dr. Jairinho.

Também em maio de 2008, milicianos travam uma guerra com traficantes da favela Kelson, na Penha, que resultou em quase 10 mortos. Até moradores da favela foram ameaçados, tendo o presidente da associação de moradores da comunidade sido sequestrado e nunca mais sido visto novamente. Neste mesmo mês, foi morto o delegado titular na investigação da ação das milícias na favela Kelson. Ele teria sido seguido até um supermercado no Recreio dos Bandeirantes, bairro onde morava, onde desceu do carro para tomar um café e foi morto com um tiro na nuca na entrada do estabelecimento.

Em 20 de agosto de 2008, ocorreu o massacre na Carobinha, onde morreram inúmeros inocentes. O massacre foi atribuído a milicianos, que estariam tentando culpar os traficantes e, assim, fortalecer politicamente a candidatura da filha do vereador Jerominho.

Em 5 de outubro, uns dos líderes do Comando Vermelho, Mineiro da Cidade Alta, líder do tráfico de drogas na favela da Cidade Alta, no bairro Cordovil, acusado de inúmeros assassinatos de milicianos, é finalmente morto.

2009-presente

 O ano de 2009 é o ano da Liga da Justiça ser notícia, liderada pelo policial Jerominho, cujo símbolo é o personagem Batman, com prisões de membros e avanços da milícia na zona sul do Rio de Janeiro.

2010
Os milicianos e traficantes de drogas foram expulsos quando as unidades de polícia pacificadora começaram ser instaladas em regiões dominadas por eles. A ação das milícias no Rio de Janeiro é retratada em detalhes pelo filme Tropa de Elite 2.

2011
Em 2011 a juíza Patrícia Acioli foi assassinada por milicianos que estavam sendo julgados por ela, o caso teve repercussão na imprensa mundial.

2012
No dia 28 de setembro de 2012, foi publicada, no Diário Oficial da União (DOU), a lei que tipifica como crime a formação de milícia ou de organização paramilitar (Lei 12 720, de 2012), sancionada pela presidente Dilma Rousseff. O texto da lei, aprovada pelo Congresso Nacional do Brasil, prevê pena de reclusão de quatro a oito anos para quem constituir, organizar, integrar, manter ou custear organização paramilitar, milícia particular, grupo ou esquadrão com a finalidade de praticar crimes previstos no Código Penal. A pena poderá ser maior se um crime como homicídio for cometido por milícias sob o pretexto de prestar serviço de segurança. Nesse caso, a pena pode ser aumentada de um terço até a metade. O projeto PLC 137/2008 que originou a lei é de autoria do deputado Luiz Couto (Partido dos Trabalhadores-Paraíba). Em 2018, a Polícia Civil do Rio Grande do Sul recuperou três condomínios do Minha Casa, Minha Vida, que estavam sob o poder de traficantes e usavam um sistema de controle semelhante ao de milícias.

Milicianos na política
Diversos políticos do Rio de Janeiro são notórios milicianos. Dois vereadores cariocas chegaram a ser presos em 2007 e 2008 por ligações com os grupos paramilitares: Nadinho de Rio das Pedras e Jerominho. Além disso, o irmão de Jerominho, o ex-deputado estadual Natalino José Guimarães, também acusado de integrar uma milícia, foi preso em flagrante após trocar tiros com policiais em sua casa, na Zona Oeste do Rio. Sua prisão foi mantida pela Assembleia Legislativa do Rio de Janeiro. O parlamentar renunciou no fim do ano de 2008 para escapar de um processo de cassação que levaria à perda de seus direitos políticos.

Em 2008, foi instalada a comissão parlamentar de inquérito das milícias na Assembleia Legislativa do Estado do Rio de Janeiro, presidida pelo deputado estadual Marcelo Freixo. Diversos políticos foram intimados a depor diante desta CPI, sendo acusados de envolvimento com milicianos, entre os quais os vereadores/candidatos a vereador Nadinho de Rio das Pedras, Cristiano Girão, Deco e Doen, além da deputada Marina Maggessi e do deputado e ex-secretário de segurança Marcelo Itagiba.

A filha de Jerominho, Carminha Jerominho, do Partido Trabalhista do Brasil, após ter sido presa e levada para um presídio de segurança máxima, acabou libertada pela justiça e pôde assumir a vaga de vereadora. Carminha foi eleita com 22 049 votos, apesar de a imprensa e as investigações acusarem ela de ser uma das envolvidas.

Facções
Assim como o tráfico, as milícias também possuem suas facções. Uma das mais conhecidas é a Liga da Justiça. Em 2018, foi apontado pelo delegado Cláudio Ferraz que diversas facções menores, surgidas a partir da Liga da Justiça, pagariam a ela uma porcentagem dos seus lucros.

Milícias historicamente conhecidas como rivais da Liga da Justiça teriam sido, segundo as investigações, o Comando Chico Bala, além do grupo comandado por Jorge Babu.

Há ainda a milícia chamada Escritório do Crime, que atua na zona oeste do município do Rio de Janeiro e que surgiu da exploração imobiliária ilegal em atividades como grilagem, construção, venda e locação ilegal de imóveis.

During the coronavirus pandemic, are we really all in this together? | John Baer
Updated Apr 23, 2020; Posted Apr 23, 2020
Protest of Gov. Wolf's coronavirus shutdown at Capitol
By John Baer | For PennLive
A principle in headline-writing holds that any headline asking a question can be answered with the word "no." That's usually the case. In this case, it's wrong.
Wrong in the same way "We're all in this together" is wrong.
We're not.
Protests at statehouses around the country, including at the Capitol in Harrisburg condemning Gov. Tom Wolf's shutdown orders, demonstrate in dramatic form that we are far from "in this together."
People who work with their hands and people who work with their fingertips are faring very differently. That's just a small example.
Our overriding divides and angers, basically the same we had pre-pandemic -- ideological, economic, racial – are, if anything, more evident in this crisis.
For many, anger stands under a broad antigovernment umbrella that lately includes science; and that umbrella is snapped shut even though it's raining.
Open the state amid a rising death toll from a disease with no treatment, cure or vaccine? Open parts of the state where the disease isn't rife? Save the economy? Roll the dice?
Thing is, it seems hard to blame anyone defying science to end shutdowns given that much of what we're told is muddled.
Pennsylvania's official view is things are better, we've flattened the curve, we'll start to reopen May 8. But NOW we must wear masks? Why now?
And why in stores but not on buses or subways, enclosed populated tubes ideal for viral spread? When asked, state Health Secretary Rachel Levine said masks on public transit are "strongly recommended" but not required. Why not?
Levine's and Wolf's so-called press conferences allow no follow-up questions.
Meanwhile, we see conflicting mortality numbers here, in other states and nations.
We can shop for food but not for booze. We can stand in a stream but not on a fairway.
And our national broadcast media offers advice from Dr. Fauci and advice from Dr. Phil. Take your pick.
There's an Israeli study of global data suggesting virus rates and their declines are the same in countries employing mitigation as in countries that did not.
Can it be lockdowns don't matter? Is the study an outlier? Is science and medicine enjoying its time in the spotlight a bit too much to give it up?
Problem is we've been primed for distrust for decades.
In March, as the pandemic unfolded, I wrote of shrinking trust in institutions – media, religion, Congress, name it -- as shown in Gallup polling since the 1970's.
The sharpest trust declines during that time were in the office of the presidency and "the medical system." No surprise there's wide distrust of response to the current crisis.
What's likely to emerge politically as the crisis ebbs?
You can feel it coming. A resurgence of Tea Party-type antigovernment energy, the kind that helped Donald Trump win the White House, the kind he cheers now ("LIBERATE MINNESOTA," "LIBERATE MICHIGAN," "LIBERATE VIRGINIA"), ironic given he represents government at its highest level.
The dignity of work, the value of every job, is a genuine backdrop for shutdown protests. But many reactions to COVID-19 mirror our culture wars. They embrace states' rights, gun rights, partisan dogma and personal privilege above communal health and safety.
Yes, a minority of citizens protest, as was noted over and over in 2016. But they may prove, as they did then, more representative than they appear. There's lots of anger out there. That curve isn't flattening anytime soon.
And, as additional evidence emerges confirming African-Americans suffer infection, illness and death in greater proportion than whites (because of the usual inequities in housing, education, health care, employment, etc.), minority leaders are certain to redouble efforts rightly seeking redress.
An uptick in antigovernment unrest coupled with a surge in pushing government to balance social scales do not bode well for civic unity. So, yes, COVID-19, in addition to all else it's done, will intensify our politics.
There's always hope crisis creates solutions for a better society on all levels. But I fear the answer to the headline, "Are We All in this Together?"

This New Vegetarian Drive-Thru Wants To Redefine Fast Food
The popular organic frozen food brand, Amy's Kitchen, joins the burger wars with a burger that's not a burger at all.
While McDonald's continues to hemorrhage millions each month, a new California startup is quietly attempting to set a different standard for fast food.
Technically, Amy's Drive Thru is not exactly a startup–the burger joint is the brainchild of Amy's Kitchen, a vegetarian frozen food empire. After 27 years of making packaged mac and cheese and burritos, Amy's is launching an all-vegetarian, 95% organic diner in Rohnert Park, a city north of San Francisco. Everything will be made from scratch on site–from tofu to buns–and will be ready in less than three minutes.
The star on the menu is a veggie burger that took 1,000 taste tests to perfect and that is designed to tempt beef-lovers away from the real thing. "We didn't do many taste tests with vegetarians," says Andy Berliner, co-founder and co-CEO of Amy's Kitchen. "We were trying to target people who would eat at one of the existing fast food burger places and get it to the place where they would say 'This is better, I'd rather have this than whatever else.' And we did that. We consistently hear that now."
At $2.99, the burger costs less than a Big Mac, though it doesn't come with a drink and fries. It'll be served on a house-made bun with locally-brined pickles, organic tomatoes, and a carefully-concocted secret sauce.
Unlike most fast food restaurants, Amy's will serve burritos, pizzas, macaroni and cheese, and salads along with its burger. "We had a lot of resistance to that from the people who have helped us with this, saying there's too many choices," says Berliner. "But we just felt they were good alternatives. The salads were a big debate, and took a lot of convincing–but our salads are amazing."
The recipes, apart from the new burger, were adapted from the cult favorites the company has been making for years. "It's assembled fresh, is the only difference," says Berliner. "But the core of the recipes has been developed over 27 years." The company has always poured time into each food–their frozen Indian meals, for example, took five years to get right.
Now, they're hoping the new restaurant will lure customers away from established chains, just as its frozen foods have done. "We will end up bringing people around," he says. "And suddenly they will care more about what they eat."
While others try to project an image of sustainability–like McDonald's, which is now attempting to attract millennials with the McBike, a burger package designed to sling over handlebars–Amy's is actually going deep. Because the food is all vegetarian (with vegan options for everything, including milkshakes), it automatically has a drastically smaller carbon and water footprint. It's also almost all organic, and many ingredients are local. The restaurant itself will have a green roof and solar panels, the tables are made from reclaimed wood, and the tableware will be collected for recycling.
It may be unfair to compare Amy's single planned location to megachains like McDonald's, and indeed, the model sounds challenging to scale. But that's what Amy's hopes to eventually do, assuming the first restaurant succeeds. "We'll know in a few months," Berliner says. "We have no idea. It's a one-off at this point, but our intention would be to grow it slowly over the next few years, and if it's successful as many people feel it will be, in five years or so to expand it more rapidly."
He sees it as just one example of a sea change in fast food. "You're reading more and more about people cleaning up their ingredients," he says. "I think it's happening, because consumers are demanding it. It obviously has a long way to go–it's not easy to change something that's really big. But I think over time everything's going to get better, and greener, and healthier."
I don't think you need a mentor—here's why

Noooo-klahoma!: The misery of rooting for the Oklahoma State Cowboys
Forget Cleveland and the Cubs — the most miserable fan base resides in Stillwater
by Brian Phillips on October 3, 2011
My relationship with Oklahoma State football has nothing to do with the facts. The facts are as follows: that the Cowboys, who open their Big 12 season against Texas A&M on Saturday, have been ranked sixth in the nation by the 59 Division I coaches who vote in the USA Today poll, as well as seventh in the nation by the 60 sports journalists who vote in the AP poll; that, in wins over Louisiana-Lafayette, Arizona, and Tulsa, OSU has scored an average of 52.3 points while amassing 1,224 passing yards to tie the Division I lead; that QB Brandon Weeden and WR Justin Blackmon are medium-shot Heisman Trophy candidates; and that what may not after all be the Cowboys' final Big 12 run1 will come down to whether the defense, which is currently surrendering a cool 413.7 yards a game, can present a persuasive enough obstacle to opposing teams to allow the offense to win another eight or so hysterical screaming shootouts by a score of, say, 92-90.
All of this is true. None of it matters. Oklahoma State's year isn't going to be won or lost on stats, personnel, or even tactics.2 Those things have their place, but there's something bigger where the Cowboys are concerned, something Oklahoma State fans pick up on from an early age, even if we don't like to talk about it. It's a hard thing to describe, so let me be as scientific as possible. Somewhere in the bones of the earth, coiling and uncoiling like the kraken, there lurks a malevolent power. And the whole purpose of this malevolent power, the entire aim of its wrathful soul, is to screw with Oklahoma State. This power has no name, so for the purposes of this article, I'm going to call it "Squinky."
The easiest way to introduce you to Squinky is to recount the circumstances in which I first became aware of his existence. In the 1980s, my dad and I had season tickets to OSU football. This was the peak of the "Tailback U" era, during the overlapping careers of Thurman Thomas and Barry Sanders, when current head-coach-slash-crazy-ranting-person Mike Gundy was the quarterback and Hart Lee Dykes was the star wideout.3 In 1988, we watched in awe while Barry turned in the greatest individual season in NCAA football history: more than 200 rushing yards a game, 7.6 yards per carry, 3,249 total yards, 5.8 moments a game that made you feel like the top of your head had been taken off.
But this was Oklahoma, so everything came down to the OU-OSU game. In 1988, the Cowboys were 12 years deep in a losing streak against their main (only) rival. Twelve years isn't the longest dry spell in the history of either futility or sport, but I was a kid. All I knew was that we hadn't won in my lifetime.
On November 5, the teams met in Stillwater with the Big Eight title in play. Oklahoma was ranked eighth. OSU was 14th, having tumbled out of the top 10 when it lost at Nebraska three weeks before. The Sooners were favored, but still. We'd spent all season watching Barry make defensive ends' helmets spin around like cartoon propellers. Nothing was impossible when he got the ball. We had hope.
We were down 24-14 at halftime, but spent the second half clawing back points behind a 215-yard, two-touchdown day from Sanders. With two minutes and change left in the fourth quarter, we'd made it 31-28 and had the ball on our own nine-yard line. Gundy found Hart Lee on two straight plays to take the ball past the 50. Sanders ran it for another first down. I started jumping up and down in front of my seat. As did all the adults in the stadium.
With 1:03 to play, on third down, Barry ran the ball to the 19-yard line. Approximately 3,451 seconds after the play ended, a penalty flag came flying in out of nowhere — a world-historically terrible personal-foul call on Garrett Limbrick, the Cowboys' fullback. The side judge had watched OU defender Richard Dillon haul Limbrick out of bounds, then — with under a minute to play in a Bedlam nail-biter — hit Limbrick with a 15-yard penalty for saying a curse word out loud.4 Suddenly, the Cowboys were staring at fourth-and-14 from the 34 with time running out.
Didn't matter. Everyone in the stadium still believed. Gundy took the snap from the shotgun and rolled out to his right. You could see the play breaking in slow motion. Brent Parker, the slot receiver, beat his man, then got wide-open deep. Gundy heaved the ball from the 40-yard line. The pass was near perfect. Parker's outstretched hands met the ball at the back of the end zone. The crowd went off like fireworks. Only then — squink! — the ball grazed off Parker's fingers and fluttered to the ground. Incomplete pass. OU ball. Mass heart attack. Game over.
It was at this point that I became aware of certain dark forces at work in the depths of the universe. Squinky had flicked a tentacle, and doom had come sweeping down the plain. It wasn't just that the loss was painful. It was that the entire game — the entire season — had been set up to make you think, to make you know, that this time was different, this time they were going to win. Then, within seconds, a ridiculous call and an inexplicable receiver error, and all that belief caved in like a condemned building.
There were other instances through the years. Scott Blanton's field goal as time expired to give OU the 15-15 tie — squink! — in 1992. Two straight deep runs in the NCAA tournament undone — squink! — by buzzer-beaters.5 Multiple unfathomable collapses. Even external stuff — say, a basketball coach with a checkered past painstakingly redeeming his career at OSU before losing it all in a drunk-driving scandal. OSU fans don't get national attention as particularly long-suffering or tortured, but that's all part of Squinky's master plan. He's not looking to make sympathetic, Cubs-type losers out of us. He's looking to administer targeted heartbreak, to keep us in a state of permanently smothered optimism while giving us no media attention whatsoever.
That last point matters. Squinky is bigger than Bedlam, but Oklahoma State's second-class, perennially half-squashed status in Oklahoma is part of what gives him his hold. If you're an OSU fan, you get this. Even if you've just driven through Oklahoma — the skinny, endless, undeviatingly straight highway, the sky somehow more 3-D than the land, radio voices yammering on about OU football, always OU football, no matter if it's the middle of March, no matter what Oklahoma State might be doing. Al Eschbach holding court on WWLS, voice like a sweat stain on the idea of sound. It's no secret what the hierarchy is.
Factor in baseball, golf, and (especially) wrestling, and OSU arguably has the richer tradition overall. But for all that those sports matter to the day-to-day rivalry, they might as well not exist. Football isn't so much the state religion as the state life-sustaining element, having replaced oxygen around the peak of the Dust Bowl. And in Oklahoma, where OU is football, being a Sooners fan is like having a monopoly on air.
There's a quiet resignation that's part of being an OSU fan, an understated fatalism that comes from sensing two things: first, that Squinky is playing you; second, that — squink! — you're going to keep on letting yourself get played. On the message boards, older fans routinely caution younger fans not to get ahead of themselves, to wait to see how the season shakes out, to be careful about getting too invested in how things look on paper. If your dreams are fated to be broken, you need all the self-protection you can get. But eventually, the team goes 3-0, 4-0, 5-0, and everybody shoves their hearts into the middle of the table. There's not a lot of complaining, or blaming the players, when the wager inevitably backfires. That's just life when you're in the thrall of a hostile demon-octopus that dwells a thousand miles below the plains.
It's worth it, the feeling goes, because one day — maybe not soon, maybe not in our lifetimes, but one day — OSU is going to break out of Squinky's hold, pop OU in the mouth, and contend for a championship. And when that happens, you don't want to be the guy who checked out two years ago simply because the constant stifled agony had become too soul-annihilating to take.
So this season — just like last season — the Cowboys are a ton of fun to watch. Weeden is dishing out points in ways that are easier to express with equations. Blackmon can make your eyebrows shoot up higher than your scalp. And the defense … well, there's a rumor that an upperclassman has been spotted roaming around somewhere deep in the secondary. But whether the Cowboys will be really, genuinely, jaw-smashingly good or just pretty 'til the hammer drops, as it does every year, this is the season they finally break free from Squinky. There are men on the message boards, careful men, men who have been around this block before, who are saying that something feels different, that this could be the year. Players are peaking at the right time. The team has incredible leadership. Nobody's scared, even if OU is the consensus top team in the country. Heading to College Station to meet their first credible challenge in the form of eighth-ranked A&M, the Cowboys couldn't have much more confidence. Squinky's being put on notice.
Come to think of it, it's not as though OSU had a bad season last year, either. The Cowboys went 11-2. "Their only losses were to Nebraska and Oklahoma," as analyst Roger Twibell recently noted. Looking ahead toward this season, he said, "Everybody thought, 'This was going to be the year.'"
No, wait, sorry, that's the wrong quote. Twibell was the announcer who called that Bedlam game during Sanders' Heisman season. He was talking about 1988.

Since the Pac-12 voted on Tuesday not to expand — the West Coast's harshest act toward Oklahomans since approximately The Grapes of Wrath.
Which is a relief, since offensive coordinator Dana Holgorsen, a Mike Leach acolyte and the key programmer of OSU's current Fun 'n' ICBM passing attack, left the school during the offseason to take the head-coaching job at West Virginia.
As kids, we had no idea that Hart Lee was mixed up in NCAA recruiting violations. We just knew that he was allowed to wear black shoes instead of the team-mandated white shoes, and that THIS WAS MARVELOUS.
This was back in the era when more popular and successful teams tended to get key calls at the ends of close games. Good thing times have changed!

In the early days of modern computer networking, SNMP (simple network management protocol) and CMIP (the Common Management Information Protocol) vied for dominance. SNMP's main advantage was its simplicity. CMIP was more elegant and complete.
SNMP is still in wide use. CMIP is more footnote than deployed technology.
Agile development relies in part on an old, old, principle: Big systems that work started life as small systems that work. The need for TLAs being what it is, in Agile the small system that works is called the Minimum Viable Product (MVP). It's the system's irreducible core, and the team's earliest development goes into defining, programming, and perfecting it. From that point forward, everything else the team builds constitutes an enhancement to the MVP.
Waterfall methodologies aren't all that different, except for one thing: Agile teams deploy the MVP for actual business use, while Waterfall teams don't release software into the wild until the whole application is finished. As a result, Agile but not Waterfall teams learn of needed course corrections while in course.
I know a woman who tried to launch a business. It was, she told me proudly, so complicated that she was one of the few people around who could get it started and make it work.
She wasn't and it didn't.
Which leads to this week's big idea: Simple is hard. Every increment of less simple is even harder. Starting out harder instead of simpler is usually the wrong answer.
Which in turn leads to enterprise architecture, why it's so often disappointing, and an encouraging trend.
Why it's so often disappointing: Enterprise architecture is intrinsically complicated, and that's before its brain trust worked as hard as it could to wrap an impenetrable lexicon around it that separates the Cool Kids Club from lesser mortals who just want to put EA to practical use (for more, see "The Dark Secrets of Enterprise Architecture," Bob Lewis, CIO.com, 6/8/2018).
Application rationalization is enterprise architecture's minimum viable product.
What's commonly called application rationalization is really three different rationalizations within technical architecture's application layer: (1) true application rationalization (AR); (2) application portfolio rationalization (APR); and (3) application integration rationalization (AIR).
Application rationalization rates the health of each application in the company portfolio, assessed separately from all other applications.
Application portfolio rationalization looks for redundancies in the application portfolio — different applications that provide similar services.
Application integration rationalization reviews the interconnections used to synchronize redundant data, and to collect and present data from multiple "systems of record" (the IT view) as if they were a single coherent "source of truth" (the business perspective.
Together, AR, APR, and AIR determine the optimal disposition of each application, and of the collection of application interfaces and integrations, and then develop a plan of action for achieving those dispositions.
These dispositions range from replacing an unhealthy application; to updating otherwise serviceable applications that are too many versions behind what their vendors currently support; to re-writing those whose functionality is necessary but whose engineering is, to use the technical term, hideous; to sunsetting all but one of a collection of redundant applications … to list just some possible potential dispositions out of the complete list of possibilities.
Also, while this description emphasizes the applications themselves, undertaking any rationalization within the application layer almost always has ripple effects throughout all parts of the business that make use of the affected applications … which is to say, at one time or another, the entire business.
Changing any application will affert how the work supported by that application gets done.
The impact could be negative — disruption. But that doesn't have to be the outcome. Unhealthy applications usually lead to some level of pretzel logic in the business processes and practices that make use of them.
For example, a process that could otherwise happen in real time might include one or more one-day delays as a consequence of the need for overnight batch processing.
Another process might require users to consult three or four different applications just to figure out what's going on so they can respond to what should be a straightforward customer inquiry.
So rationalizing the application layer can, if everyone approaches the situation from the right perspective, lead to more effective employees and a more effective business.
All by cleaning up the technical architecture without ever admitting that's what's going on.
If you need help cleaning up your organization's application layer, don't be shy — use the Contact form and we'll schedule a conversation to talk it over.
But of all my wonderful virtues, humility is the one I'm most proud of!
Don't blame Agile! Agile teams have testers on them. I don't have any editors for KJR, which I guess means I've optimized for cycle time over quality.
The concept of application rationalization MVP for enterprise architecture really resonates with me. In my world, the biggest gift of agile hasn't been more effective applications projects, though that is a benefit, for sure. Rather, it's a mindset for stuff we gotta do, whether standing up a PMO, starting up a staff development program, or any of the big changes needed while my leadership team works to build capability, capacity, and culture.
Now I always want to start with that tough conversation (even if it's just in my own head): What is the minimum viable product? What one capability that can be built quickly and simply would be worth the trouble of implementing, even if it doesn't do everything we need it to do?
Applied to enterprise architecture, it's a definitive list of applications in use. I guess we should make that applications running, whether in use or not. Next iteration may be the rationalization plan.
In PMO, it was a list of projects. Then prioritized projects, followed by identified PMs, then by basic status reports.
Agile. It's not just for projects anymore.


A court has freed two foreigners arrested on suspicion they had links with al Shabaab.
Anti-terror unit officers arrested the Ethiopian and New Zealander at Hagadera refugee camp, Dadaab, Garissa. Sulub Warfa is from New Zealand but of Somali origin, while Sakawedin Abdullahi is from Ethiopia.
They were held after the unit requested for 10 more days to verify their travel documents. Warfa changed his name from Ramadhan Yusuf. This, according to an officer, raised suspicions.
The prosecution said their passports were valid and they were in Kenya legally. Chief magistrate Cosmas Maundu on Friday said they had no case to answer. He released them unconditionally.
Sulub said outside the court that changing one's name is not a crime in New Zealand. He demanded an apology.
"I travelled from Nairobi to Garissa then to Dadajabula. On my way back, I was stopped at a roadblock at Hagarbul. Police officers demanded my driving licence, which I produced, and then my passport, which I also produced.

Top Houthi official rejects Netanyahu's claim of Iran seeking to fire missiles at Israel from Yemen
Tuesday, 29 October 2019 3:18 PM [ Last Update: Tuesday, 29 October 2019 3:24 PM ]
In this undated file photo, Mohammed Ali al-Houthi, the Chairman of the Supreme Revolutionary Committee of Yemen, speaks at a press conference in the Yemeni capital city of Sana'a. (Photo via Twitter)
Yemen's Houthi Ansarullah movement has strongly dismissed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's allegations that Iran is seeking the means to launch precision-guided missiles at the Israeli-occupied territories from Yemen, stressing that such remarks are meant to prolong the Saudi-led military campaign against the Yemeni nation.
Mohammed Ali al-Houthi, the Chairman of the Supreme Revolutionary Committee of Yemen, said on Tuesday that Netanyahu contradicts himself, as he says on one occasion that Iranians have given ballistic missiles to Yemeni forces and claims another time that the Islamic Republic is developing the capacity to produce such armament, Yemen's official Saba news agency reported.
"How quickly has Iran's ambition to develop such missiles been realized that it has even exported them to Yemen?" the top Houthi official questioned.
He further noted that Netanyahu's remarks during his meeting with US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin in Jerusalem al-Quds attests to the fact that the Tel Aviv regime is a dominant partner in the Saudi-led aggression against Yemen.
PressTV-Iran's IRGC rejects Saudi claim of missile transfer to Yemen
The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) says Saudi claims that Iran is providing missiles to Yemen's Houthi movement are aimed at diverting attention from Riyadh's war crimes in Yemen.
Netanyahu had said, "Iran wants to develop precision-guided missiles that can hit any target in Israel within five to ten meters."
"Iran hopes to use Iran, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon and Yemen as bases to attack Israel with statistical missiles and precision-guided missiles. That is a great, great danger," the Israeli prime minister claimed.
Netanyahu then urged US President Donald Trump's administration to step up sanctions on Iran over its nuclear program and regional activities.
PressTV-Iran writes to UN, complains of 'imaginary' Saudi claims
Iran's envoy to the UN says Saudi Arabia's claim about the Iranian origin of Yemen's missile technology is "imaginary" and "unsubstantiated."
Iran has on occasions rejected accusations that it is providing missiles to Yemen's Ansarullah movement, saying such claims are merely aimed at diverting attention from atrocities that Saudi Arabia and its allies are perpetrating in Yemen.
Back on April 17, Iran firmly rejected US and British allegations of Tehran sending missiles to Yemen, saying the two are seeking to whitewash their "shameful" complicity in the crisis gripping the war-torn country by leveling "false" charges against others.
"The US and UK complicity in Yemen crisis is shameful," Iran's Permanent Mission to the United Nations said in a press release at the time.
PressTV-Even Saudis don't believe fiction of Iran's role: Zarif
Iran has rejected again claims of involvement in Yemen's retaliatory attacks on the kingdom's heart of oil industry, saying Riyadh's offensive in Hudaydah in breach of a UN truce speaks for itself.
The Iranian mission was reacting to remarks by the former American and current British ambassadors to the UN, Nikki Haley and Karen Pierce during a Security Council meeting on Yemen earlier in the day.
Haley claimed that Iran was interfering in the Yemeni affairs and violating the arms embargo on the impoverished state. Pierce also accused Tehran of "non-compliance with Security Council Resolution 2216."
The Iranian mission, however, said the American and British officials had "repeated their derogatory allegations about Iran to cover up their own role in the disastrous situation created in Yemen. Iran categorically rejects those allegations as baseless propaganda."
PressTV-Iran rejects 'foolish' Yemen missile delivery claims
Iran says the allegations about its provision of missiles to Yemeni forces are lies and a foolish scenario.
Saudi Arabia and a number of its regional allies launched a devastating campaign against Yemen in March 2015, with the goal of bringing the government of former president Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi back to power and crushing the Ansarullah movement.
The US-based Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project (ACLED), a nonprofit conflict-research organization, estimates that the war has claimed more than 91,000 lives over the past four and a half years.
The war has also taken a heavy toll on the country's infrastructure, destroying hospitals, schools, and factories. The UN says over 24 million Yemenis are in dire need of humanitarian aid, including 10 million suffering from extreme levels of hunger.

Presidential Documents
President, Meeting Italian Minister of Defence, Confirms Iraq's Desire to Build Strong Relationships with Italy and EU, Underlines that World Must Join Forces to Address Challenges
President Salih met today at his residence in Sulaymaniyah Italian Minister of Defence Lorenzo Guerini alongside his delegation.
At the outset of the meeting, the President stressed Iraq's eagerness to further develop Iraqi- Italian ties across all the fields, to work together to meet the different challenges facing the region and the world, first and foremost which is terrorism, in addition to strengthening economic, cultural cooperation and exchanging of experiences in that regard.
His Excellency the President noted that Iraq managed to defeat ISIS by the support of international coalition and friends but the war against terror continues that its sleeper cells remain threaten Iraq and the world as well.
Any complacency on chasing them and continuing presence of crisis situations in the area would allow for the re-emergence of the extremist groups as well as attacking cities and civilian people, he added.
Furthermore, he highlighted that the Government is, however, working on building a capable State, improving State regulation of weapons in the country, preventing outlaw groups' acts as well as protecting diplomatic missions.
Iraq will not be a battleground for various political agendas to settle their scores, he stated.
The President said that Iraq looked forward to receiving the support of the international community including Italy to achieve these goals, strengthen its relations on the basis of cooperation and achieving the common interests of peoples and countries in addition to joining forces to address the various global challenges.
International and regional cooperation would spread the spirit of peaceful coexistence in the region and the world, and would deny access to terrorist groups to undermine peace and stability, he underscored.

Unemployment rates continue to drop. With a 4% unemployment rate, the people you are hiring are already working for somebody else – we gotta sell the sizzle, not the steak.
You can make the candidate experience a smooth ride; dazzle them with your EVP, enchant them with video messaging, get them to the front door on Day 1 – but then what?


More than 300 million people have come to the Music Hall to enjoy stage shows, movies, concerts and special events. There's no place like it to see a show or stage a show. Everything about it is larger than life.


There are as many personal tastes in food as there are members of your household. Worse still, people take their food very seriously and you might worry that your family will be resistant to changes in their eating habits. Fortunately, there are ways you can easily improve your family's nutrition.
1) You control the food supply line.
Remember that you control the food supply line. You are in charge – you decide which foods to buy and when to serve them. While your children may pester you for junk food, they might lighten up when they hear the next tip.
2) Allow family members to choose what to eat.
Allow the members of your family to look through the refrigerator, freezer and cabinets and choose whatever they want to eat and allow them to control the quantity of their portions. While this might seem extreme at first glance but if you control the supply chain, you know every food choice in your home is a healthy one.
3) Involve family members in meal planning.
Involve your family – especially your children – in meal planning and preparation. Teach decision-making skills by offering specific healthy choices for meals and desserts. Ask your child if she would like a piece of chicken or salmon for dinner and a banana or apple for dessert, for example, rather than simply asking her what she would like to eat.
4) Be a role model by eating healthy.
Be a role model to your family by eating healthy. Show your children that eating breakfast is healthy by eating a nutritious breakfast yourself, for example, and skip the donuts sugary cereals. Eat sweets in moderation and encourage your entire family to do the same.
5) Eat family dinner at the table.
Eat family meals around a table instead of in front of a television. When you stare at the TV, you lose focus on the food you are eating and the people surrounding you. This leads to overeating and missing an opportunity to bond with your family. Encourage mindful eating habits that keep attention focused on food and the people with whom you share it.
6) Work as a team to improve.
Work as a team to improve the nutrition of each member of your family. If one person needs to lose weight or wants to adopt a healthier lifestyle, it helps to have at least one more person work towards that goal too. In fact, research from University of California shows that a child loses one-quarter body mass index (BMI) point for every one point a parent loses. In other words, a family tends to lose weight as a team.
7) Keep healthy snacks within view.
Keep ready-to-eat produce, including bananas, apples and oranges, within plain view. Move unhealthy snacks out of sight, preferable to top shelves where nobody will see them.
8) Remove the saltshaker from the table.
Remove the saltshaker from the table. More than 75 percent of salt in the average American's diet comes from processed foods, according to the American Heart Association. Do not allow your children to get into the habit of adding even more salt to their food. While you are at it, replace processed foods with fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains and lean meats whenever possible, and avoid adding salty spices, rubs or side dishes.
9) Avoid arguments related to food choices.
Avoid battles over food with your children. Arguing with your kids about food can lead them to feel negatively about making healthy choices regarding nutrition.
10) Avoid meals with large platters on the table.
Avoid family-style meals featuring large platters of food on the table. Instead, encourage each family member to serve up a plate of food in the kitchen and carry it to the table. Putting a little distance between the table and the food discourages unnecessary second helpings.
