The Dutch government is donating a statute of Holocaust victim Anne Frank, the young German girl who hid with her family in a Dutch attic until discovered by Nazis during World War II.
The Jewish girl, just 15 when she was deported to the Auschwitz concentration camp, died in 1945 at the Bergen-Belsen camp. She is one of the most famous victims of Nazi horrors because she left behind a diary that has become one of the world's best read books.
The bronze statue, a work of Dutch artist Joep Coppens, will be unveiled on Avenida 4, the newer of San Jose's pedestrian boulevards, now called Bulevar Unión Europea.
Attending will be the Dutch ambassador, Matthijs van Bonzel, and San José Mayor Johnny Araya. The date is next Wednesday, which is the 60th anniversary of the International Day of Human Rights.
Miss Frank, her hands bound, looks skyward, and the pedestal bears the phrase from her book Mi sueño es la libertad, "My dream is liberty."
The Costa Rican group Grupo 50 al Sur will present a dramatic segment from Miss Frank's book.
The Frank family moved from Germany to Amsterdam to escape the Nazis. They ended up hiding in an attic apartment when the Germans took over the city.
The family spent more than two years there being helped by friends and the father's employees. Then they were betrayed.
Miss Frank's father published the diary after he survived the end of the war in a concentration camp. It received widespread critical acclaim.
Increased noises generated by larger numbers of ships, seismic surveys and use of new military sonars are imperiling creatures such as whales and dolphins, who use sound to communicate and find food, experts said Wednesday at a United Nations Environment Programme gathering in Rome.
and habitats on a global scale — issued the warning, urging governments and the private sector to use quieter ship engines.
intrusive sonar technologies by militaries.
"Underwater, man-made noise is already triggering a kind of acoustic fog and a cacophony of sound in many parts of the world seas and oceans," said Mark Simmonds, science director of the Whale and Conservation Society, who is attending the conference.
Compounding the problem is the rising acidity levels in the seas and oceans, which could reach a point in the coming decades where noise generated by vessels, surveys and others will travel 70 per cent further than they do currently, the session was told.
The European Community and its Member States have submitted a draft resolution on curbing marine noise to the conference.
Communities in the northern zone and in the Provincia de Limón are again awash as a new cold front brings heavy rains. In some places the flooding is up to an adult's chest.
Limón registered 223.4 mm. (8.8 inches) from 7 a.m. Tuesday until 7 a.m. Wednesday. Some 57.5 mm (2.26 inches) fell between 7 a.m. and midnight Wednesday. Most of it came around 2 p.m., according to the automatic weather station at the airport there.
Accurate downfall records from the northern zone are hard to come by but Turrialba got 40.4 mm (1.6 inches) after 7 a.m. Wednesday and registered 127.1 mm (5 inches) from 7 a.m. Tuesday to 7 a.m. Wednesday.
Many communities were under water, and the national emergency commission said it had opened up new shelters and declared its highest emergency level for the Provincia de Limón, including Matina, and the Cantón de Sarapiqui in Heredia. A lesser alert was issued for Upala, San Carlos, Los Chiles and Guatuso.
There was no encouraging news from the Instituto Meteorológico Nacional. The forecast called for even more rain today along the Caribbean and in the northern zone.
The Comisión Nacional de Prevención de Riesgos y Atención de Emergencias said there were more than 1,500 persons in shelters. It said the new rains caused heavy damage in the cantons of Sarapiquí, Pococí, Guácimo, Siquirres, Matina and Limón centro. Shelters were being maintained in Guácimo.
Other spots where problems were reported include Barra del Colorado, Tortuguero, Cariari, and Valle de la Estrella on the Caribbean. The emergency commission said it had been prepared for the latest onslaught, but the rain emergency has lasted for two weeks.
The emergency caused the Ministerio de Obras Públicas y Transportes to send out crews to handle slides that had blocked major roads. Mudslides were reported on Ruta 32 from San José to Limón, but the highway was not blocked completely. Near Toro Amarillo on the highway the crews were removing some 1,000 cubic meters of mud, about 1,308 cubic yards.
A road was closed by slides in San Miguel de Sarapiquí and a collapsed water line in Siquirres caused so much damage to the road that officials feared vehicles would suffer damage just passing over the broken area.
Among those nations lining up to provide help for flood victims was France. The French government gave Costa Rica 50,000 euros, some 33.6 million colons, to help with the emergency.
An employee of a used car dealership in San Rafael de Escazú found a live fragmentation grenade on the company premises Wednesday, and Fuerza Pública officers responded to a 911 call. The explosives team of the Judicial Investigating Organization also came to handle the situation. The emergency was at the Auto Car lot opposite the Mas x Menos supermarket in the community.
Police said the explosive experts took the grenade, which is not available for purchase in this country, to a lot and blew it up. The device was live, they said. No one at the business would talk to reporters.
The consumer credit market in Costa Rica still offers 369 types of plastic cards, the Ministerio de Economía, Industria y Comercio found in a routine survey. The number of issuers declined to 26 with the merge of Banco Uno and Banco Cuscatlan with Citi Group.
Credomatic issues the most, 85 different types of credit cards, said the ministry. Bancrédito issues 46, and Banco Nacional 40. The ministry is charged by law to report on the credit card industry and the rates charged consumers there.
The survey found that the highest revolving credit in colons was 50.4 percent on a card issued by Tarjetas BCT S.A. A number of other companies offered rates of from 49.42 and 49.92 percent, said the study. The lowest rate was 23 percent, the ministry said.
The Sala IV constitutional court ordered the local authorities in the Cantón de Aguirre, the Ministerio de Salud and the Ministerio de Ambiente, Energía y Telecomunicaciones to maintain better supervision of earth moving in Barrio Bella Vista.
Residents there complained about the work of Transportes Pila S.A., which they said was removing fill from an adjacent hillside and using the place for a dump. The residents said that a slide in 2005 destroyed nearby houses and they blamed the earth moving for weakening the hillside and encouraging the slide.
The Organization of Judicial Investigations in Liberia is investigating the death of an American, discovered in a hotel room Tuesday.
The man, Daniel Bayer Miller, 57, was discovered dead in the Marino Lodge Condiminio at 8 a.m., said the Fuerza Pública in Liberia. There were no signs of violence on his body, said police. Officials are awaiting autopsy results.
Bayer was originally from Florida, said the Judicial Investigating Organization.
The Arias administration is pushing constitutional reform as a way to change what officials see as the ungovernability of the country.
Rodrigo Arias Sánchez, the president's brother and minister of the Presidencia, initiated a statement from Casa Presidencial Wednesday in which he said the Poder Ejecutivo, the presidency, was open to a national dialog on the subject. This follows several trial balloons floated in Spanish language newspapers and an opinion piece favoring the idea Wednesday by Alberto Cañas, a long-time Partido Liberación Nacional politician and journalist.
A rewrite of the Costa Rican charter would require a constitutional assembly, although individual changes can be made legislatively.
Rodrigo Arias said that the relationships between the various branches of government, decentralization and a reform of the Poder Judicial are among the issues he wished to consider.
clash of power between the two branches.
The discussion also comes at a time when the administration spent more than two and a half years engineering approval of the free trade treaty with the United States and other countries even though it had a two-thirds majority in the single-chamber legislature.
Rodrigo Arias noted that others have said the problem with government in Costa Rica stems from the slowness and difficulty in making decisions and resolving problems, because of administrative and legal aspects. He traces those problems to the current Constitution, in effect in large part since 1949.
He said he wanted a modern constitution, adapted to the new world realities where, for example, the concept of the state is redefined in a way the country wants for the future. But he said that no one wants to change the current social guarantees contained in the current document.
Although Arias said that an assembly would see the Costa Rican citizens decide on the future constitution, typically these processes are dominated by political organizations.
The idea of reform and change also comes at a time when the country continues to be divided over the free trade treaty, and a new political party is in formation with the goal of voiding the agreement.
Despite claiming just two weeks ago that it would be dropping services altogether, cable television company Amnet will indeed be installing its cable lines underground in San José.
Solo Cable workers were chopping narrow trenches.
look more aesthetically pleasing, said Minor Chinchilla Flores, a spokesperson for Solo Cable, a company contracted by Amnet for construction services.
However, clashes between the state-owned electric company, Compañía Nacional de Fuerza y Luz, and Amnet, a privately owned company, has caused multiple delays in the project.
In November, Amnet mailed letters to San José subscribers, stating that the firm would be canceling services due to technical reasons related to installing the cable lines underground. Although the letter was signed by Amnet financial manager Manuel Méndez Sánchez, it gave no details as to what the technical difficulties may have been.
Amnet did not return repeated requests for comment over the last two weeks. The firm also provides cable Internet.
To complicate matters more, Wednesday saw groups of construction workers across Barrio Otoya, busily working away at tearing up the cement sidewalks, in order to install the protective tubing necessary for later putting the cable lines underground.
According to Chinchilla, the letter was due to bitter negotiations between Amnet and Fuerza y Luz.
Fuerza y Luz has already installed its electrical lines underground, a project that was completed in the first half of 2005.
Cable Tica, another private cable company, is also in the process of putting its lines underground, a project which began five months ago, said Chinchilla.
Tourism operators in the San Carlos area and the northern zone have a chance to discuss their industry Friday when a local university holds a conference in la Fortuna.
Main topics of discussion include the aspect of the environment in the tourism industry and the state of the industry this year in La Fortuna, Sarapiquí and Monteverde.
Those who wish to attend should make a reservation at 2401-3091 during morning hours, the university said.
In reply to the letter from Ken Beedle in Cartago. It appears this "new law" is only enforced in Paso Canoas. When asked, the Jefe could not produce a written copy of the law for us to present to our attorney. Once the car was in aduanas in San José, all the "old laws" seemed to apply. The key being IF the person and or car were in Costa Rica 90 days or more before the exit. On the shopping exoneration you must be be out of the country 72 hours, and I recommend it on the vehicle too. I am not an attorney, but I have yet to find one who has seen the "new law" in writing. Welcome to Paradise.
Being a new businessman in Jacó, I was hesitant to criticize too soon until I witnessed things that had to be addressed. Friends in San Jose told me to go to Tamarindo or Quepos to open my store, but after visiting Jacó I decided this was the place for me because of the number of tourists here.
It was soon evident that all the rumors about the crime and lawlessness in Jacó were true. I witnessed prostitution, drug sales, thefts and general disregard for the law on a daily basis just one block from the police station. One does not dare to leave anything of value in a car and just simply having a meal anywhere in town means having to keep your purse or possessions in your lap.
Signs posted in hotel rooms advise you to not carry purses, wallets, passports or anything of value with you when you leave your room. Just trying to cross the street can be life threatening with cars and taxi cabs alike traveling at speeds of 80 kilometers or more. Don't get me started on the noise and dangers of dirt bikes and A.T.V.s.
What a shame that one of the most beautiful countries in the world will one day drowned in it's own apathy. The word is spreading quickly that there are more desirable places to visit and more specifically to live. Many people around the world are contemplating retiring to Central or South America and it may already be too late to save the reputation of Costa Rica.
When someone is finally arrested for a crime they are usually back on the street the next morning with little or no consequences for their actions and in some cases ready to harass the victims again for filing the charges.
Costa Rica and Jacó in particular are quickly becoming known as the land of pimps, whores, thieves, and pickpockets with police departments which are complacent at best.
I have just finished reading your article on Louis Milanes, a man . . . who is now living in luxury in the penthouse of the Europa Hotel and visiting his favorite haunts (the gaming tables) while supposed being under arrest for fraud. How is this possible?
I understand that his lawyers are trying to negotiate a settlement with his victims before his trial, but if he is allowed to squander their money by a lavish lifestyle and gambling, what will be left to distribute?
Osvaldo Villalobos was put in preventative custody for months and then remained under house arrest until his trial and conviction for basically the same crime. How and why does Milanes curry such immunity?
If Enrique Villalobos realized that it would be this easy to be a criminal in Costa Rica, he might have returned to face the music.
Your justice system and its leniency toward racketeers etc., needs revision. Obviously, I am one of the many greedy investors in both "The Brothers" and "Savings Unlimited."
I do not agree with the 16-year sentence for Osvaldo Villalobos and do not wish the same for Milanes, who is diabetic. All I want is my life savings returned .
Let me say in the short time period we've been here, we enjoy reading the A.M. paper. We moved here a little over a year ago, in which we had build a supposed quality, new 600M home in San Isidro de Heredia. We moved into the house in February. The house was completed in December, 2007. Supposedly best engineer from the University of Costa Rica and top quality materials used.
Within three months of moving in, everything from the new kitchen cabs to just about ever room of the house started having powdery white mildew and mildew smells. We are just about every three to four weeks having to run a dehumidifier machine and cleaning with bleach the floors and walls to no avail.
Can you PLEASE help us with a solution as no one here (the Ticos) seem to mine the mildew and are happy living with it. We came from humid Florida and NEVER had NOTHING with mildew, not even the garage or attic items. Please help or if you can direct us to where one can find help as the build and every Tico I ask has no clue and just live with it, it seems here.
EDITOR'S NOTE; We would welcome reader responses.
The Russian navy says one of its warships will visit a naval base in Panamá, following the completion of its joint exercises with the Venezuelan navy.
A navy spokesman, Igor Dygalo, Wednesday said the destroyer, called Admiral Chabanenko, arrives Friday for a six-day visit at the Rodman naval base in the port of Balboa at the Pacific entrance to the Panama Canal, formerly a U.S. naval hub.
The spokesman says it will be the first time since World War II that a Russian ship has crossed the canal.
On Tuesday, Russia wrapped up training exercises with the Venezuelan navy in Moscow's first such Caribbean deployment since the Cold War.
Russian President Dmitri Medvedev finished a four-nation tour of Latin America last week in a bid to bolster ties in the region.
Russian officials have denied that the tour and naval maneuvers were meant to provoke the U.S. in its sphere of influence.
The United States built the Panama Canal almost a century ago. The waterway reverted to Panamanian control in 1999 under a treaty signed in 1977 by then-U.S. President Jimmy Carter and Panama's military leader, General Omar Torrijos, the late father of the current Panamanian president.

Student Spaceflight Experiments Program (SSEP) Mission 7 to the International Space Station
Opportunity for Schools to Engage Grade 5-16 Students in the Design of Microgravity Experiments for Flight to the International Space Station
Time Critical: interested schools are directed to inquire about the program no later than May 30, 2014
Washington, D.C. – The National Center for Earth and Space Science Education (NCESSE), and the Arthur C. Clarke Institute for Space Education, in partnership with NanoRacks LLC, announce a new opportunity for school districts across the U.S. and internationally to participate in the ninth flight opportunity of the Student Spaceflight Experiments Program (SSEP).
Launched in June 2010, SSEP was designed as a model U.S. National STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) education program that immerses typically 300 students across a community in every facet of authentic scientific research of their own design, using a highly captivating spaceflight opportunity on the International Space Station (ISS).
The program is designed to inspire and engage the next generation of scientists and engineers, and is accomplished by providing each participating community their own very real Space Program.
SSEP Mission 7 to ISS will provide each participating community a real research mini-laboratory capable of supporting a single microgravity experiment, and all launch services to fly the mini-lab to ISS in Spring 2015, and return it safely to Earth for harvesting and analysis. Mirroring how professional research is done, student teams across the community submit research proposals, and go through a formal proposal review process to select the flight experiment. The design competition – from program start, to experiment design, to submission of proposals by student teams – spans 9 weeks from September 8 to November 7, 2014. A curriculum and content resources for teachers and students support foundational instruction on science conducted in microgravity (in a weightless environment) and experiment design. Additional SSEP program elements leverage the experience to engage the entire community, embracing a Learning Community Model for STEM education.
SSEP provides seamless integration across STEM disciplines through an authentic, high visibility research experience—an approach that embraces the Next Generation Science Standards. For school districts—even individual schools—SSEP provides an opportunity to implement a systemic, high caliber STEM education program tailored to community need. More broadly, SSEP is about a commitment to student ownership in exploration, to science as journey, and to the joys of learning.
SSEP is open to U.S. schools and school districts serving grade 5 through 12 students, 2- and 4-year colleges and universities, informal science education organizations, and internationally through the Center's Arthur C. Clarke Institute for Space Education. SSEP is not designed for an individual class or a small number of students in a community.
Student teams are able to design experiments across diverse fields, including: seed germination, crystal growth, physiology and life cycles of microorganisms, cell biology and growth, food studies, and studies of micro-aquatic life. Experiments require design to the technology and engineering constraints imposed by the mini-laboratory, and flight operations to and from low Earth orbit.
"SSEP is designed to empower the student as scientist, and within the real-world context of science. Student teams design a real experiment, propose for a real flight opportunity, experience a formal proposal review, and go through a NASA flight safety review. They even have their own science conference at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum, where they are immersed in their own community of researchers", said Dr. Jeff Goldstein, creator of SSEP and NCESSE Center Director. "SSEP is about introducing real science to our children and if you give them a chance to be scientists, stand back and be amazed."
SSEP Mission 7 to ISS includes an experiment design competition September 8 through November 7, 2014. Flight experiments are selected by December 17, 2014, for a ferry flight to ISS in Spring 2015. All communities interested in participating in Mission 7 to ISS are directed to inquire no later than May 30, 2014.
Heritage: There have been eight SSEP flight opportunities to date—SSEP on STS-134 and STS-135, the final flights of Space Shuttles Endeavour and Atlantis; and SSEP Missions 1 through 6 to ISS. 85 communities across the U.S. and Canada have participated in the program. 19 communities have participated in 2, 3, or 4 flight opportunities, reflecting the sustainable nature of the program. Over the first seven flight opportunities,a total of 28,350 grade 5-14 students were fully immersed in microgravity experiment design and proposal writing, and 6,435 experiment proposals were submitted by student teams.
Currently the 15 experiments of the Mission 5 to ISS Charlie Brown payload are awaiting transport to ISS, with launch expected in June 2014 on the Orbital Science 2 (Orb-2) vehicle, launching out of the Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport (MARS), Wallops Island, VA.
SSEP is the first pre-college STEM education program that is both a U.S. national initiative and implemented as an on-orbit commercial space venture. SSEP is undertaken by the National Center for Earth and Space Science Education (NCESSE) in the U.S. and the Arthur C. Clarke Institute for Space Education Internationally. It is enabled through a strategic partnership with NanoRacks LLC, working with NASA under a Space Act Agreement as part of the utilization of the International Space Station as a National Laboratory.
The Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum, Center for the Advancement of Science in Space (CASIS), and Subaru of America, Inc., are national partners on the Student Spaceflight Experiments Program.

Pistorius shows lack of 'genuine remorse' - judge

Bloemfontein – Former Paralympian Oscar Pistorius, convicted of the 2013 murder of his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp, displays a lack of remorse and does not appreciate the gravity of his actions, the Supreme Court of Appeal said on Friday.
On Friday morning, Justice Legoabe Willie Seriti increased Pistorius's sentence from six years to 13 years and five months in prison for the 2013 murder.
WATCH: The moment the SCA extended Oscar's sentence to 13 years in prison
This was after the State had applied to have his prison sentence increased, as it felt it was too lenient.
Oscar's older brother, Carl, tweeted shortly afterwards: "Shattered. Heartbroken. Gutted."
Seriti said Pistorius should have been sentenced to 15 years, but the SCA took into account the time he had already served.
In the judgment handed down, Seriti said Pistorius had offered no explanation for having fired the fatal shots through the door of his toilet.
After he had perused the High Court sentence, Sereti said he found that it had "overemphasised" Pistorius' personal circumstances and misdirected itself in its assessment of an appropriate sentence.
Shattered. Heartbroken. Gutted.
— Carl Pistorius (@carlpistorius) November 24, 2017
"I find it difficult, on the evidence, to accept that the respondent is genuinely remorseful. The respondent [Pistorius] failed to take the court fully into his confidence.
'A heavy sentence'
"To my mind, the attempt by the respondent to apologise to the deceased's family does not demonstrate any genuine remorse on his part," Seriti said.
Pistorius had failed to take the court fully into his confidence, despite having an opportunity to do so during the second sentencing proceedings, he added.
"It is clear herefrom that the respondent is unable to appreciate the crime he has committed. The logical consequence is that the respondent displays a lack of remorse, and does not appreciate the gravity of his actions."
Are they serious? That is absolute NONSENSE!
Meanwhile, legal expert Attorney Marius du Toit told News24 that he believed the sentence imposed was "without a doubt... a heavy sentence".
He said that, after he heard arguments in the SCA earlier this month, he got the impression that it wanted to lay down a mark for all courts to follow.
"They were not going to play - they really wanted to make the public understand that when there is a minimum sentence, then the court should impose it, unless there are compelling reasons to deviate," he said.
'He has nothing to lose'
Du Toit said Pistorius should consider approaching the Constitutional Court.
"He has nothing to lose. Of course, it would be costly… but at least try to approach them," he said.
Du Toit said Oscar would spend more than six years in jail before he is eligible for parole.
The world-renowned athlete was arrested on Valentine's Day in 2013 – the day of the killing.
The self-proclaimed gun enthusiast had fired four shots through his bathroom door, claiming that he believed there was an intruder in the bathroom.
North Gauteng High Court Judge Thokozile Masipa initially sentenced Pistorius to five years for culpable homicide in 2014.
Pistorius served only 10 months of the five-year sentence in prison before being released and put under house arrest.
The State appealed the culpable homicide conviction, and it was later replaced with murder by the Supreme Court of Appeal in 2016.
Masipa then handed down a six-year jail term for murder.
The State petitioned the SCA directly, arguing that the six-year sentence was far too lenient.

'D'yer Mak'er' (intended to be pronounced with a British non-rhotic accent as 'Jamaica', IPA dʒəˈmeɪkə) is a song by English rock band Led Zeppelin, from their 1973 album Houses of the Holy.
This song was meant as a tribute to reggae music. Its genesis is traced to Led Zeppelin's rehearsals at Stargroves in 1972, when drummer John Bonham started with a beat similar to 1950s doo-wop, and then twisted it into a slight off beat tempo, upon which a reggae influence emerged.[1] The distinctive drum sound was created by placing three microphones a good distance away from Bonham's drums.
'D'yer Mak'er' is one of the few Led Zeppelin songs where all four members share the composer credit. This track, as well as another song from the album entitled 'The Crunge', was initially not taken seriously by many listeners, and some critics reserved their harshest criticism for these two arrangements.[2]
Led Zeppelin bassist John Paul Jones has expressed his distaste for the song, suggesting that it started off as a joke and wasn't thought through carefully enough.[3] However, 'D'yer Mak'er' has gathered critical respect in the years since, and has grown into something of a Led Zeppelin classic. Upon the album's release, Robert Plant was keen to issue the track as a single in the United Kingdom. Atlantic Records went so far as to distribute advance promotional copies to DJs (now valuable collectors' items). While it was released in the US, and the single peaked at #20 in December of 1973, it was ultimately never released in the UK.[4]
This song was never performed live in its entirety at Led Zeppelin concerts, although excerpts of it were played during 'Whole Lotta Love' during the 1975 concert tour of the United States and 'Communication Breakdown' at the Earls Court shows in the same year.[5] On 23 June 1977 at Los Angeles Forum Robert Plant sang the, 'Oh, Oh, Oh' refrain and first line during the acoustic set.
Song title pronunciation
The name of the song is derived from a play on the words 'Jamaica' and 'Did you make her', based on an old joke ('My wife's gone to the West Indies.' 'Jamaica?' 'No, she went of her own accord'). On 21 July 2005, Led Zeppelin vocalist Robert Plant discussed the song during an interview with Mike Halloran, a DJ on radio station FM94/9 in San Diego. During the interview, he talked about the different interpretations and pronunciations of the name of the song [6]. The title, which appears nowhere in the lyrics, was chosen because it reflects the reggae flavour of the song.

Two ex-con parolees were charged yesterday with shooting a 2-year- old girl in the eye while trying to settle an old score over a stolen motorbike in Brooklyn's East New York.
John Nuñez, 24, of Cleveland Street, and Jason Valentin, 19, of Arlington Avenue, surrendered yesterday with their lawyer, Stephen Murphy, in connection with the Friday-afternoon shooting.
Both were charged with attempted murder, assault and reckless endangerment.
"It appears to be a dispute over a motorbike," said Inspector Michael Gabriel.
The two suspects were at the intersection of Ashford and Fulton streets when they fired two shots each at a third man, Edwin Cacchola, 28, police said.
Gabriel said the motive appeared to be revenge – Nuñez's motorbike allegedly had been stolen by Cacchola's friend.
Nuñez managed to recover it, but he was still angry.
When the pair spotted Cacchola standing in front of his SUV, they opened fire on him, cops said.
Little Soribel Batista was playing on Ashford Street, in front of a beauty salon where her 29-year-old mother was getting her hair done.
The tot was about 100 feet from the suspects when a bullet hit her in her left eye.
Her frantic mother rushed her to Jamaica Hospital.
"The little girl is hospitalized and in stable condition with the loss of vision in the left eye," Gabriel said.
Doctors said it's not yet known if she will regain at least some vision in that eye.
Gabriel said that numerous witnesses, outraged over the senseless shooting of the little girl, stepped forward, speaking to investigators at the scene or phoning in tips.
Law-enforcement sources told The Post that at lineups conducted yesterday, four witnesses identified Nuñez as one of the shooters, with two identifying Valentin.
The sources said Nuñez has four previous arrests and is on parole for robbery, while Valentin is on parole for a drug conviction.
Murphy, who is Nuñez's lawyer but will represent Valentin at his arraignment, said the two were "not responsible" for what took place.
"Both claim their innocence and say they're not responsible. They came in voluntarily to clear their names," Murphy said.
Nuñez was released from prison in April and, according to Murphy, has held down a steady job in construction since then.
"Anyone who said that Nuñez was carrying a gun is a liar," he said.

The GOP's tax cuts obliterated any hope of bipartisan reform, at least in the near future.
That's a problem, and not just for Republicans like Ryan looking to shrink the federal government. It's an issue for Democrats, too: They want to preserve crucial investments in younger generations, but to do so they'll eventually—and begrudgingly—need to impose some limits on the rising spending for seniors.
The "Better Way" policy blueprint House Republicans issued under Ryan's direction in 2016 endorsed premium support. But the speaker has not pushed it to a vote. In interviews last month, Ryan signaled his determination to force a 2018 debate on restructuring Medicare and other big safety-net programs. "We [must] spend more time on the health-care entitlements, because that's really where the problem lies," Ryan insisted.
Ryan is right that federal spending for the elderly is on an unsustainable trajectory, mostly because American society is steadily aging. Through 2050, the Social Security trustees estimate that the number of seniors will rise from 48 million to 86 million. The Congressional Budget Office projects that, as a result, by 2047 Social Security and the major federal health-care programs, principally Medicare and Medicaid, will consume two-thirds of all federal spending (except for interest on the national debt). That's up from 54 percent now.
Conservatives have decried that future most vociferously, but it should concern Democrats, too. Increased spending on the elderly is already squeezing the resources available for investment in the productivity of future generations, such as education, scientific research, and infrastructure. The CBO projects that as spending grows on seniors, as well as on health care, federal discretionary spending—the portions of the budget that invest in future generations—will shrink relative to the economy.
It's more likely any GOP drive to control "entitlements" will focus on programs that largely benefit lower-income families, including Medicaid and food assistance. But that effort will confront the same challenge as the attempt to repeal the Affordable Care Act: Particularly in the Rustbelt states that decided the 2016 election, the principal beneficiaries of those programs are the blue-collar whites at the core of the Republican coalition. By acting alone on taxes, Republicans have insured that they must act alone on entitlements, too. And that means any meaningful fiscal and generational rebalancing of the federal budget will have to wait—likely for many years to come.

Nationwide announces increase in apprentice intake
By Anita Jaynes on 10 March, 2015
Nationwide is supporting the UK workforce of the future by increasing the number of apprentice, graduate and intern opportunities it is providing by more than 240 percent.
This year Nationwide will be taking on 80 advanced apprentices, 15 higher apprentices, 100 graduates and 50 intern placements – this compares to last year's intake which saw 22 apprentices, 38 graduates and 12 interns start their careers within the Society.
The announcement comes as the society marks National Apprentice Week (March 9-13) this week.
Nationwide is a Living Wage employer and therefore pays its apprentices a minimum of £7.85 per hour – this compares with the UK minimum apprentice hourly wage of £2.73.
Nationwide's HR director Ann Brown said: "We strongly believe by taking on more apprentices we are not only helping people start their careers but also improving our workforce by identifying, developing and retaining talented people from various different backgrounds with fresh ideas.
"If you're interested in working for an organisation that is committed to doing the right thing and that will support and challenge you as you progress in your career then I would encourage you to become a Nationwide apprentice."
Isobel Anderson, 19 joined Nationwide in September last year and works in Business Management. She said: "I chose Nationwide's scheme over other apprenticeship schemes because I had heard great things about the opportunities and support available here, as well as general praise for how the company treats their employees and the working environment. I didn't really know what I wanted to do so I wanted to join somewhere that would allow me to learn, develop and explore different opportunities to help me find my strengths.
"I would love for my career to progress within Nationwide. Once I have finished my Apprenticeship I want to continue exploring opportunities to learn, develop and experience new things within my area, and also across other parts of the business."
The apprentice programme is open to all age groups above the age of 16 years-old, as well as those starting a new career. As part of their role, the apprentices are given real jobs which contribute towards the work being done in that particular area of the business. While on the scheme apprentices will also obtain a formal NVQ qualification.

Many gold ores in practice behave according to this reaction and the problems involved in the extraction of the gold are more mechanical than chemical. Many others, however, present an assortment of chemical problems depending on the various constituents in the ores.

Q: "Permission denied for the attachment" (on Gmail 5.0) trying to attach file to email intent This question has been posted before, but there was no clear or accepted answer and all of the solutions provided that were supposed to "work" didn't for me. See here: Gmail 5.0 app fails with "Permission denied for the attachment" when it receives ACTION_SEND intent
I have an app which builds up data in a text file and needs to send the text file along in an email, automatically attaching it. I have tried many ways to get this to attach, and it apparently works for Gmail 4.9 and below but 5.0 has some new permission features disabling it from doing what I wish.
    Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);

    String to = emailRecipient.getText().toString();

    i.setType("message/rfc822");
    i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, new String[] { to });
    i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Pebble Accelerometer Data");
    i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "Attached are files containing accelerometer data captured by SmokeBeat Pebble app.");
    String[] dataPieces = fileManager.getListOfData(getApplicationContext());
    for(int i2 = 0; i2 < dataPieces.length; i2++){
        i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.fromFile(new File(getApplicationContext().getFilesDir() + File.separator + dataPieces[i2])));
    }
    i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.fromFile(new File(getApplicationContext().getFilesDir() + File.separator + fileManager.getCurrentFileName(getApplicationContext()))));
    Log.e("file loc", getApplicationContext().getFilesDir() + File.separator + fileManager.getCurrentFileName(getApplicationContext()));
    try {
        startActivity(Intent.createChooser(i, "Send Email"));
    } catch (android.content.ActivityNotFoundException ex) {
        Toast.makeText(Main.this, "There are no email clients installed.", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    }

The datapieces might be empty yes but the current file line below the for loop is always reliable and always attaches something.
I have tried changing
Uri.fromFile()

to
Uri.parse()

When I do that, it attaches, but Gmail then crashes and when I check the logcat it's because of a null pointer. This is most likely because Gmail has no access to the file and therefore results as null.
I've also tried using
getCacheDir()

instead of
getFilesDir()

and it has the same outcome.
What am I doing wrong here, and how should I go about fixing it? Some example code would be really, really handy because I am new to Android development and explaining what I need to do without some sort of push off probably won't end up helping.
Thanks a lot.

A: Alright guys. Took a break and came back, figured it out.
Here's how it works, you need to have write/read permissions to external storage, so add these permissions to your manifest:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />

Then, your file has to be copied from your app's internal storage directory into the app's external directory. I recommend you use internal storage, and that's what I'm doing here so you can figure out SD cards yourself.
Here is the block of code that does the magic. Logs are included but you can remove them by all means.

}

A: Encountered the same attachment denied. Permissions in manifest did not have any effect, rather do not have an effect any more since API 23. Finally solved it as follows.
1st need to check and grant permissions on run-time, I did it in my main activity:
public static final int MY_PERMISSIONS_REQUEST_READ_STORAGE=10001;
private void checkPermission(){
    if (this.checkSelfPermission(Manifest.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
        // Should we show an explanation?
        if (this.shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale(Manifest.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE)) {
            // Show an explanation to the user asynchronously
        } else {
            // No explanation needed, we can request the permission.
            this.requestPermissions(new String[]{Manifest.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE},
                    MY_PERMISSIONS_REQUEST_READ_STORAGE);
        }
    }
}

Now when sending, create a file in PUBLIC directory (tried saving to my app folder - same denial problem)
public File createFile(){
String htmlStr="<!DOCTYPE html>\n\n\n
my html file
";
File file = new File(Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_DOWNLOADS), "aimexplorersummary.html");
try {
      FileWriter writer = new FileWriter(file ,false);
      writer.write(htmlStr);
      }
      writer.flush();
      writer.close();
   } catch (IOException e) {
     e.printStackTrace();
     return null;
   }
return file;
}

Now compose sending intent and putExtra with uri to your file which is in public storage that user must grant permissions to and that causes no problem now
public void send(){
Intent intentSend = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
intentSend.setType("text/html");
File file = createFile();
if(file!=null){
    intentSend.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.fromFile(file));
}
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(intentSend, "Send using:"));
}

317.This section lists the documents which are "formal communications" for the purposes of the Act. It also provides that such communications must be in writing. Subsection (3) provides that electronic communications will satisfy the requirement that formal communications be made in writing. The electronic communication must be sent by electronic means and capable of being reproduced in legible form. A formal communication sent electronically is treated as being received on the day it is sent.
318.This section allows the Scottish Ministers to determine the form of documents produced by virtue of the Act and how these documents will be sent. Subsection (2) provides that such documents may be sent electronically.
319.This section relates to the powers of the Scottish Ministers contained in the Act to make subordinate legislation. It provides for these powers to be exercisable by statutory instrument, and provides standard powers for instruments to include ancillary provisions as the Scottish Ministers think necessary or expedient and to make different provisions for different purposes. Subordinate legislation under this Act is subject to the negative procedure unless specific contrary provision is made in particular sections of the Act (subsection (3)). Subsections (2) and (3) do not apply to an order made under section 206 (commencement orders). This prevents a commencement order, which is made without any Parliamentary procedure, from making incidental, consequential or supplementary provision.
320.This section applies where subordinate legislation under the Act is subject to the negative resolution procedure in the Scottish Parliament. Such subordinate legislation is in the form of a statutory instrument which must be laid before the Parliament and is subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of parliament. Such instruments are laid as made instruments (not in draft form) and come into force (or remain in force) unless the Parliament annuls them within a period of 40 days from the day that they are laid.
321.This section applies where subordinate legislation under the Act is subject to the affirmative resolution procedure in the Scottish Parliament. Such subordinate legislation is in the form of a statutory instrument which must be laid in draft before the Parliament for approval by resolution. Such instruments may only be made, and then come into force, after the Parliament has approved them.
322.This section applies where subordinate legislation under the Act is subject to the super-affirmative resolution procedure in the Scottish Parliament – this applies to some of the powers in sections 10 and 17 only. Such subordinate legislation is in the form of a statutory instrument which must be laid in draft before the Parliament for approval by resolution. Such instruments may only be made, and then come into force, after the Parliament has approved them.
323.Subsection (3) requires that the Scottish Ministers, before laying such an instrument in draft before Parliament, must consult persons who are under 21 years of age as they consider appropriate, and such other persons as they consider appropriate. For the purposes of the consultation, Ministers must lay a copy of the proposed draft instrument before the Parliament, publish the proposed draft instrument as Ministers consider appropriate, and have regard to any representations about the proposed draft instrument that are made to them within 60 days of the date on which the copy of the proposed draft instrument is laid before the Parliament. Subsection (5) provides that in calculating the 60 day period, days when the parliament is dissolved or in recess for more than 4 days are not to be counted. Subsection (6) provides that when the draft instrument is laid before the Parliament, Ministers must lay before the Parliament an explanatory document giving details of the consultation carried out, any representations received as a result of the consultation, and the changes (if any) made to the proposed draft instrument as a result of those representations.
324.This section provides a definition of "child" for the purposes of the Act. A child means a person under 16 years of age. However this section also provides some exceptions to that general rule. Subsection (2) provides that for the purposes of referrals under section 67(2)(o) (failure to attend school), references in the Act to a child include references to a person who is school age. "School age" has the meaning given in section 31 of the Education (Scotland) Act 1980.
325.Subsections (3), (4) and (5) provide that where a person becomes 16 after section 66 of the Act applies (after the Principal Reporter has obtained information that suggests the child might need a compulsory supervision order but before the reporter has made a determination on that issue) but before a relevant event, the Act continues to apply to that person until a relevant event occurs. A relevant event is the making of a compulsory supervision order, the notification under section 68(3) that the question of whether a compulsory supervision order should be made in respect of the child will not be referred to the Children's Hearing (the reporter has determined not to refer to the Children's Hearing) or the discharge of the referral. Subsections (6) and (7) provide that the provisions of the Act continue to apply to persons who are subject to a compulsory supervision order on becoming 16 or when one is made in respect of that person on or after they become 16 until the compulsory supervision order is terminated (it may be continued at review under sections 138 or 139 where necessary) or the person reaches 18 years of age.
326.Subsections (8) and (9) relate to persons whose case has been remitted to the Children's Hearings under section 49(7)(b) of the Criminal Procedure (Scotland) Act 1995 for disposal. Where the person concerned will be over the age of 16 but under 18 and not at the time of the remit subject to a compulsory supervision order, the provisions of the Act will apply to them until the hearing or sheriff discharges the referral, any resulting compulsory supervision order is terminated or the person reaches 18 years of age.
any other person specified by order made by the Scottish Ministers.
328.Any such order will be subject to affirmative procedure. Subsection (2) provides that a parent does not have parental responsibilities or rights merely by virtue of contact order or specific issues order made under section 11(2)(d) or (e) of the 1995 Act.
329.Most duties under the Act are imposed on the "relevant local authority" for the child and that term is defined in this section. The relevant local authority for the child is the local authority for the area in which the child predominantly resides or (if that criterion does not apply) the area which the child has the closest connection to. In determining the relevant local authority no account is taken of a period of residence in a residential establishment, any other period of residence, residence in any other place, or connections with an area which may be prescribed in regulations. The child's relevant local authority may change during the child's involvement in the Children's Hearings system.
330.This section defines certain terms that are used in the Act.
331.Section 203(1) introduces schedule 5 which contains minor amendments and amendments consequential on the provisions of the Act. Subsection (2) introduces schedule 6 which contains the repeal of certain enactments to the extent specified.
332.This section allows the Scottish Ministers, by order, to make consequential, supplementary or incidental provision as they consider appropriate for the purposes of, in consequence of, or for giving full effect to, any provision of the Act. Such an order may modify any enactment including this Act itself. If the order makes textual changes to an Act it will be subject to the affirmative procedure.
Section 205 – Transitional provision etc.
333.This section enables the Scottish Ministers, by order, to make transitory, transitional or saving provision, as they consider necessary or expedient, in connection with the coming into force of any provision of the Act.
334.This section states the short title of the Act and provides for sections 193 to 202 and section 204 to 206 to come into force on Royal Assent, with the remaining sections to be commenced by order made by the Scottish Ministers. An order under subsection (2) may include transitional, transitory or saving provision.

Google discloses software bug that exposed personal data of Google Plus users
By Harper Neidig - 10/08/18 01:47 PM EDT
Google on Monday revealed that a software bug exposed data on as many as 500,000 users of Google Plus, the company's social network program.
In a blog post, Vice President of Engineering Ben Smith said that the company discovered in March that a glitch was giving third-party developers access to private information like names, email addresses and occupations in some user profiles.
"We found no evidence that any developer was aware of this bug, or abusing the API, and we found no evidence that any Profile data was misused," Smith wrote.
The company said it would be shutting down Google Plus.
The company said as many as 438 developers had access to the information.
The Wall Street Journal, which first reported the incident, said part of the reason Google decided not to reveal the incident when it was initially discovered was because it would attract unwanted attention from regulators at a time when Facebook was facing criticism from Washington over the Cambridge Analytica scandal.
According to Smith, the Google Plus vulnerability was not damaging enough to warrant notifying the public.
"Whenever user data may have been affected, we go beyond our legal requirements and apply several criteria focused on our users in determining whether to provide notice," he wrote. "Our Privacy & Data Protection Office reviewed this issue, looking at the type of data involved, whether we could accurately identify the users to inform, whether there was any evidence of misuse, and whether there were any actions a developer or user could take in response.
"None of these thresholds were met in this instance," he added.
The discovery by Google came amid an effort by the company to review how much access the company gives to third-party developers creating services for its platforms.
As a result of the review, which Google dubbed Project Strobe, the internet search giant will be giving users more control over what they share with app developers and limiting third-party access to Gmail accounts as well as user phone and call logs.
The disclosure comes at at time when Google has been under the microscope in Washington for its data collection practices, market dominance and efforts to appease Chinese officials with a censored version of its search engine. Google CEO Sundar Pichai is expected to testify before the House Judiciary Committee next month at a hearing that was planned before Monday's announcement of the compromised data.
