CNN Claims There Have Been 22 School Shootings in 2018, There's Just One Problem…
CNN has been reporting on the awful shooting that took place at Santa Fe High School in Texas early on Friday, and as you might expect, they are doing their best to push an anti-gun narrative, not allowing the events of the day to completely unfold before launching into a political discussion on the topic.
Listen, no one is saying that school safety isn't an issue to discuss, but shouldn't we at least wait a little bit until things have quieted down and people process what has happened? It's a little much. Eight people have lost their lives here.
What's worse is that CNN is claiming that there's been multiple shootings per week in schools since the beginning of the year.
As per usual with CNN, that's not entirely accurate.
Including today's shooting incident at a Texas high school, this year there have already been 22 school shootings where someone was hurt or killed. That averages out to more than 1 shooting a week. https://t.co/DL1wCUAipq pic.twitter.com/Qsw0WlLlJv
— CNN (@CNN) May 18, 2018
Every shooting is an act of evil. But this statistic is plainly untrue. CNN used the following parameters for their count:
A shooting that involved at least one person being shot (not including the shooter)
A shooting that occurred on school grounds
We included grades K through college/university level
We included gang violence, fights and domestic violence
We included accidental discharge of a firearm as long as the first two parameters are met
So, in other words, not mass shootings; not even purposeful shootings; not even shootings involving children. If a gang member shot another gang member on school grounds during the summer, this would count as a school shooting. If a wife shot a husband at a school, they counted it.
Conservative Ben Shapiro breaks down the various incidents these folks are counting toward their total number of shootings:
March 13, Seaside, CA: A teacher accidentally discharged a firearm during a public safety class. No one was killed.
March 8, Mobile, AL: A non-student was shot at an apartment on the University of South Alabama campus.
March 7, Birmingham, AL: Two students were shot accidentally during dismissal time at a school.
March 7, Jackson, MS: A student was shot at a dorm at Jackson State University.
March 2, Mount Pleasant, WA: Two non-students were shot at a dorm at Central Michigan University – and police blamed a domestic dispute.
February 27, Norfolk, VA: A student at Norfolk State University was apparently accidentally shot from an adjacent dorm room.
February 27, Itta Bena, MS: A non-student was shot at a recreation center at Mississippi Valley State University.
February 24, Savannah, GA: A non-student shooter shot a non-student victim on the Savannah State University campus.
February 9, Nashville, TN: A 14-year-old shot a 17-year-old in a targeted murder attempt in a parking lot of a school.
February 5, Oxon Hill, MD: Two teenagers shot a third teenager in a robbery attempt outside a school.
February 1, Los Angeles, CA: A 12-year-old girl accidentally shot two 15-year-olds.
January 31, Philadelphia, PA: A 32-year-old non-student was shot outside a high school after a fight.
January 20, Winston Salem, NC: A college football player was shot to death on campus at a party.
Now, this isn't to say that these incidents aren't worth talking about on the news, but it's not right to call these "school shootings" as if they are on par with what happened today in Texas or in Parkland, Florida.
There have actually only been like seven of these incidents, not 22. However, seven is seven too many. Real action needs to be taken to end this horrific violence.
It doesn't start with gun control, it starts with armed security teams in every public school, and it ends with us abandoning the insanity of progressivism and focusing on providing children with what they really need: strong family units with a mom and a dad.

Let us first consider figures 1 and 2, which presents a first embodiment of a power transmission in accordance with the present invention, which includes the engine 11 and the transmission 26, installed in-line with the crankshaft 12 of the engine. The engine and transmission bring in rotation, at least the rear wheels (not shown) of the vehicle type amphibious vehicle designed to travel on the road (not shown)through a differential (not shown)in the usual way. Drive for propulsion-propulsion unit designed for transportation on water, transport vehicles, such as jet pump 50, is provided with the help of the PTO unit, which is generally designated numeral 10.
The crankshaft 12 of the engine passes through a hole made in the end portion of the casing 14 of the engine. The seal 16 is installed in the hole in order to ensure sealing between the crankshaft 12 and the casing 14 of the engine. The gear 18 of the drive and the flywheel 20 is installed on the end of the crankshaft 12, near the outer part of the casing 14 of the engine and fixed to the crankshaft 12 by means of bolts 22, arranged in a circle. The gear 18 is fixed between the end of the crankshaft 12 and the flywheel 20. The clutch sleeve 25 mounted in the usual manner on the end face of the flywheel 20, actuates the input or primary shaft 24 of the transmission 26.
Conical casing 28 of the transmission 26, which during normal layout could be bolted directly to the end part of the casing 14 of the engine, is located at some distance from the casing of the engine by using the intermediate casing 30. The bolts 32 pass through the conical casing 28 and the intermediate casing 30 and includes in the usual threaded hole made in the casing 14 of the engine.
Intermediate casing 30 includes an expanding portion 30A on one side of the casing 14 of the engine. In the expanding portion 30A mounted driven gear 34, mounted on the shaft 36 of the PTO. The shaft 36 PTO and driven gear 34 mounted for rotation in the expanding part 30A by means of bearings 38, 40. Leading gear 18 and the ring gear 34 is connected via a chain or toothed belt 42 for transmitting power between them.
The shaft 36 PTO is installed to drive the motor-digitalnow the Assembly 50, made in the form of a jet pump to provide the driving force of the vehicle type amphibians when moving on the water. The shaft 36 of the PTO may operate the jet pump directly or may be connected (not shown), which may be connected an additional shaft for driving the jet pump. In the transmission line drive between the shaft 36 of the PTO and the jet pump can be installed in the separator, which allows you to turn off the jet pump using the vehicle for movement on land.
In the present embodiment, the transmission 26 is a transmission with manual shifting, however, it should be understood that the transmission 26 can also include an automated gearbox with manual transmission, automatic or semi-automatic transmission, or a transmission with infinitely-variable transmission, and that the friction clutch 25 clutch, accordingly, may be replaced by a fluid coupling such as a torque Converter.
The second preferred embodiment of the present invention is described below with reference to figures 3 and 4. The same reference positions are used to designate common parts with the parts of the first version of the runtime.
Power transmission according to the second preferred option is carried out similar power transmission in the first embodiment perform, except that instead of the drive for power in the form of a gear between the end of the crankshaft and the flywheel, the tool actuator in this embodiment contains many teeth 23, made on the outer contour of the flywheel. The teeth 23 are set in motion by the driven gear 44 mounted on the shaft 36 of the PTO via a chain or toothed belt 42. The shaft 36 PTO is arranged to actuate the motor-propulsion system designed for movement water (not shown) of the vehicle type amphibians, similar to that described in relation to the first variant of execution.
Since there is no extra gear between the flywheel and the end of the crankshaft, eliminates the need for intermediate casing between the conical casing 28 and the casing 14 of the engine. Accordingly, the conical casing 28 is made with the possibility of installing a chain or belt 42 and the driven gear 44. Driven gear 44 and shaft 36 PTO mounted for rotation in a conical casing 28 by means of bearings 46, 48.

In variants of execution described above, bigatel and transmission is made with possibility of installation on the vehicle in the form of a direct link, which side of the timing of the engine facing the front of the vehicle while the transmission is located towards the back. With this arrangement, the shaft 36 of the PTO is turned in the direction of the transmission to ensure the drive jet pump, which is installed in the rear of the vehicle. However, it should be understood that the engine and transmission can be performed with possibility of installation in the form of a reverse link when the side of the timing of the engine facing the rear of the vehicle, and the transmission goes towards the front. In this case, it is necessary that the shaft 36 PTO was facing in the opposite direction with respect to the engine and transmission, that is, facing toward the engine for driving the jet pump, which is installed in the rear of the vehicle.
The present invention can also be used for power transmission in which the engine and transmission are made with the possibility of installation across the longitudinal axis of the vehicle. To this end, in General, it is necessary to carry out the drive PTO is rotated 90 degrees to actuate jet pump installed in the rear of the vehicle. This is can be done through various ways, but a particularly simple and effective way is to implement actuation of the jet pump through a pair of bevel gears. One example of such a configuration is shown in figure 5, in which parts perform functions similar to the functions of the parts described with reference to figures 1-4, have reference position, but increased by 100.
The figure 5 shows the end of the crankshaft 112 is installed on the flywheel of the engine 111, mounted transversely. On the crankshaft is fixed leading gear 118, designed for PTO and flywheel 120. In this preferred embodiment, the flywheel is made in the form of a torque Converter, which, although it is not shown in figure 5, is driven by the input shaft of the automatic box 126 transmission.
Leading gear 118 and the flywheel 120 is mounted at the end of the crankshaft on which you installed the flywheel, use adapter 119, which is fixed on the crankshaft 112 using a variety of bolts 122. The adapter contains a splined shaft I installed the flywheel 120 and the leading gear 118 to rotate with the crankshaft.
Intermediate casing 130 is installed between the conical casing 128 of the transmission and the casing 114 of the engine. In this preferred embodiment, the intermediate casing formed of two parts 130A, B, which is connected together with a set of bolts 131. An intermediate housing and a transmission connected to the motor housing using additional sets of bolts 132. In the intermediate housing 130 mounted driven gear 134, which is fixed on the intermediate shaft 136.

The shaft 158 of the PTO is mounted for rotation in the expanding part of the intermediate casing 130 through the bearings 160, 162, and is installed on the bracket 164, which may be connected to the additional drive shaft for driving the jet pump located in the rear of the vehicle.
In each of the above embodiments, the tool actuator contains teeth, designed for connection with a chain or timing belt for transmitting the drive to the PTO. However, the tool actuator which can be made in the form of a gear transmission, which transmits the drive to the shaft through one or more additional gears. For example, in figures 6-8 shows preferred embodiments of the present invention, in which the bevel gear 218 is installed on the end of the crankshaft is installed on the flywheel. In each of the described preferred embodiments the conical gear 218 and a flywheel mounted on the crankshaft with an adapter similar to the adapter 119 in the embodiment shown in figure 5.
In the preferred embodiment, is shown in figure 6, a bevel gear 218 is connected with the second bevel gear 219 which is installed to rotate the shaft 236 of the PTO, which is a direct drive motor-propulsion unit 250, intended for transportation on water, which is installed in the rear of the vehicle. The shaft 236 PTO rotates on bearings 238 and 260, which are installed in holders 237 and 259 mounted on the intermediate casing 230.
The preferred embodiment of shown in figure 6, particularly adapted for transverse installation of the engine, where the Central line of the propulsion-propulsion unit 250, intended for transportation on water, is located on a level with the axis of the crankshaft is th shaft. However, if the unit motor-propulsion, intended for transportation on water, installed above or below the axis of the crankshaft, it is necessary to adjust the height of the output shaft 236. There are several ways to provide such adjustments, which are obvious to a person skilled in the art. For example, the height of the output shaft can be adjusted with additional chain, belt or gear transmission. However, the preferred arrangement for changing the height are shown in figure 7.
In this fifth preferred embodiment, the intermediate casing 230 is rotated to provide power at a higher level. The intermediate shaft 342 mounted in the housing 230 on the inner and outer bearings 238, 260, contains bevel gear 219 which is connected with a bevel gear 218 mounted on the crankshaft. The intermediate shaft 342 is connected to the shaft 336 of the PTO by connecting 333 with constant speed (PS), which is driven by the shaft 336 of the PTO under the required angle, in accordance with the layout block 350 drive intended for transportation on water. Although the connector with the SS is a preferred form of rotary swivel can be used with any suitable type of rotary hinge connection is in.
The last preferred embodiment of the PTO unit, which includes a tool drive, made in the form of bevel gears, shown in figure 8. This option is performing particularly suitable for longitudinal engine installation or installing the engine in line. Bevel gear 218 on the crankshaft is connected with the second bevel gear 219, located on the first end of the intermediate shaft 442. The third bevel gear 434 is installed on another end of the intermediate shaft and connected with the fourth bevel gear 435, which is fixed on the shaft 436 of the PTO. The intermediate shaft 442 is mounted for rotation on the holders 437, 459 in the housing 430 by using the inner and outer bearings 438, 460.
By means of the actuator, which is designed for power transmission to the PTO end of the crankshaft on which you installed the flywheel, in accordance with the present invention, it becomes possible to generate power transmission with intermediate PTO, in which the total length of the engine and transmission kept to a minimum. This condition may be important when designing vehicle type amphibian, in which the space for installing the engine and transmission may be severely limited. This arrangement also ensures the AET power transmission to the PTO unit directly from the crankshaft of the engine, and not through a clutch or a fluid coupling. This means that all the power of the engine can be transmitted to the PTO unit with minimal losses. This arrangement also has a simpler construction than the known composition of the prior art, which reduces production costs and increases the reliability of the structure.

Stampede Announces Market Development Plans at 2017 Canadian Vendor Summit
Fresh on the heels of its 20th anniversary celebration at the 2017 United States Vendor Summit, Stampede hosted a two-day Canadian Vendor Summit on October 19-20, 2017 at the Springhill Suites by Marriott Toronto Vaughan that combined the announcement of major new corporate initiatives with focused one-on-one vendor business development meetings, a dealer panel discussion on trends and needs, and a Big Book of AV Tour and Conference Series stop that drew resellers and end-user customers from around the greater Toronto metropolitan area.
Published: November 7, 2017 ⋅ Updated: April 15, 2019
"Twenty years ago in 1997, Stampede was formed to bring a new kind of high value added philosophy to distribution," said Kevin Kelly, Stampede's president and COO. "Year after year, we have strived to turn this philosophy into a business reality for our vendor partners and the resellers who rely upon Stampede for a complete range of solutions that combine product and systems with ongoing education and training, and a commitment to constantly bring new technologies and products into the solution mix. Our vendor and reseller partners in Canada have experienced first-hand how this philosophy has worked for them, and we look forward to bringing even more value to their 2018 business programs."
According to Kelly, Stampede's ongoing success in Canada and around the world is hinged in its ability to create new ways to deliver recurring revenue opportunities for vendors and resellers. With a focused sales team, strategically aligned resources, and the ability to convert emerging trends into new revenue streams, Stampede has expanded from a regional distributor to a global distributor.
Underscoring its commitment to further developing its presence throughout the Canadian market, Kelly today announced the opening a new Canadian headquarters in Bramton, Ontario (5 Intermodal Drive, Unit 3, Brampton, Ontario L6T 5S5) that is four-times the size of the company's original office with ten-times the inventory space to be better able to meet customer delivery schedules.
The new headquarters features a state-of-the-art LED Solutions Center and a Reseller/Dealer Training Center that is fully equipped to provide training on any subject. In addition, Kelly said that Stampede planned to expand its sales, marketing, and business development teams and add Business Intelligence Units to the company's capabilities in the region. "The Canadian market deserves the same level of commitment as the United States market and it's going to get it, beginning immediately and continuing throughout 2018," he said. "Business development managers, technical sales specialists, strategic account and small account sales managers, and the appointment of a new marketing manager whose entire focus is going to be on enhancing the digital experience for our customers, are planned for our Canadian operations in 2018."
The 2017 Stampede Canadian Vendor Summit kicked off on October 19 with Stampede providing a recap of 2017 and its initiatives for 2018. After that executive session, they began a series of one-on-one business meetings from 1:00 p.m. until 7:00 p.m. The day concluded with a networking reception designed to foster greater relationships between vendors and the Stampede Canadian sales team. A dealer panel discussion took place from 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. on October 20, which was then followed by the Stampede Big Book of AV Tour and Conference Series event, which opened the door to area resellers and their end-user customers.
Looking ahead to 2018, Kelly promised vendors and resellers that Stampede would continue to expand Stampede's reach into emerging categories that prove to be profitable. Their investment in Drone Video Systems, for example, has increased sales in the commercial markets and has resulted in more add-on AV component purchases. Likewise, since committing to the audio channel in 2016, Stampede has experienced double-digit growth in the category, noting that industry audio practice has evolved so that distributors can successfully build cohesive audio solutions. New categories of significance include educational tech and LED displays.

In an article entitled "Why Do So Many Studies Fail to Replicate," Jay Van Bavel, an associate professor of psychology at NYU, writes: "In a paper published on Monday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, my collaborators and I shed new light on this issue. Our results suggest that many of the studies failed to replicate because it was difficult to recreate, in another time and place, the exact same conditions as those of the original study." The example the author gives is a study he did in Canada in 2006 on people's emotional responses to famous people. The replication was to be done in 2016, in the US. Likely the "famous people" used in the Canadian study (e.g., Jean Chretien, Don Cherry and Karla Homolka) would not carry over the geographical and time divide to the replication.

2016 Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference Championships - Meet Coverage
Meet Links


Birds NEED to fly. A parakeet needs the largest cage possible, preferably not a round cage or a high cage. A longer rectangular one is best. Choose a cage that is best for the BIRD, not for you or your decor. The ONLY reason you should have a small cage is if your bird is out of the cage MOST of the time. And birds should be. Of all the animals humans have as pets, birds have the largest roaming territory in their natural environment. Keeping a bird, any bird, in a cage is cruel and unusual punishment.
My rescued parakeets live in a small bedroom upstairs. There is a 3 foot by 2 foot by 3 foot cage in the room, with no door on it. Inside the cage is where I place food and water, but there is NO DOOR. The birds go in and out of the cage, as they please. The rest of the room has stands and fake trees and branches around so that they can fly and perch in all different places. One of their favorite places to hang out and socialize is on the curtain rods, on which I have very cheap "disposable" curtains; i.e. ones I don't care if they get soiled or not.
Parakeets DO NOT LIVE ON SEED ALONE. The fact that a keet can live on just seed for years, is only a testament to that individual bird's hardiness. Keets need a variety of different foods, as all animals do, to live a long, healthy life. There are high quality pelleted "seeds" available, which supposedly has all required nutrients. But variety is the spice of life. Whether pellets or seeds, it should be available to them all the time, but just as a backup to their other food. Every morning, I make my keets a plate of brown rice, corn and peas, and kale, but they also like spaghetti, broccoli, crackers and just about any food a human will eat. Careful, though, no junk food, especially chocolate. And no avocados, either.
Don't forget water. Although they do not drink a lot, fresh water MUST be supplied daily. They also enjoy bathing in water, so an upside-down, clean frisbee, filled with kale leaves and water, is very tempting to a keet. Some keets just love to bathe and will do it daily if given the dish to do it in.
Parakeets are EXTREMELY social animals, and your bird will not be a happy bird if s/he does not have interaction with one or more birds, or his human, DAILY. It is unkind to put a bird in a cage, just give him seed and put your face up to the cage and talk to him from the outside of a cage, or give him a mirror to look at himself. If you do not want to get another bird or birds for your keet, then make him/her an integral part of your life. These birds will "help" you cook, clean, work on the computer, watch tv on your knee and eat from your plate, once you are part of his/her "flock." And that is also a happy bird.
If you bond with your keet, you may find him/her imitating you. These small parrots are notorious for their ability to talk. It is more likely to happen with a solitary keet, but if you decide to only have one, then you must be his/her social life and have him/her thoroughly involved in your life.

France 1954 -> Home
The 1954 French flap:
The index page for the 1954 French flap section of this website is here.
October 2, 1954, Morez, Jura:
Reference number for this case: 2-Oct-54-Morez. Thank you for including this reference number in any correspondence with me regarding this case.
This is a case that was never echoed in the UFO literature, told in the regional newspaper L'Est Républicain for October 6, 1954, and at least also in the regional newspaper La Bourgogne Républicaine for October 10, 1954:
That Saturday morning, thus on October 2, 1954, a gentleman from Les Rousses who remained anonymous, "trustworthy, honorable in every way, announced a smashing new", that is to say that "a flying saucer had landed at la Combe à la Chèvre, in the forest of the Massacre."
But when about twenty volunteers went to the place, they discovered that it was only a rain gauge shining under the sun, that the services of Water and Forests had installed there many years ago.
As the news had made a fuss, some believed that the roadblocks organized by the police in different parts of the region were meant await the saucer's occupants. But in fact, these roadblocks were meant to arrest Baranès.
Yet, for hours, one wanted to believe in the saucer story, because the many of the residents of the Haut-Jura who had not hesitated to travel kilometers to get to the foot of the rain gauge, would have done nothing to deny that it was a saucer.
[Ref. ler1:] "L'EST REPUBLICAIN":
The flying saucer was a rain gauge
Morez. -- General mobilization atmosphere reigned in Morez Saturday morning. One called from door to door. One sported a half curious, half-worried face. On the market, conservations were rife.
Already, that story of the "flying saucer" of Prémanon had excited the minds.
"Do you believe this? ... I don't!"
"Still, what do we get to see in our twentieth century." And then here is a Mr. Rousses, reliable, well in all respects, announcing a breaking news:
A flying saucer had landed in La Combe de la Chèvre, in the Massacre's Forest.
Twenty volunteers already rushed to this place where, metallic to the perfection (as it should be) and shining under the shining again sun, a rain gauge ... waiting for the rush of the curious! The Water and Forestry Services had settled it there for many years.
People who were not informed then heard that the police put roadblocks at different points of the region.
One waited for the occupants of this mysterious machine.
In fact, it is the possible passage of Baranès that was anticipated, the Franco-Swiss border being there all close! Yet for long hours, the story of the saucer staunchly believed, because the numerous inhabitants of the Haut-Jura who did not hesitate to walk long kilometers... to the rain gauge, did nothing to disprove that hoax!
[Ref. ppe1:] "PARIS-PRESSE" NEWSPAPER:
After saucers and cigars
A newcomer in the sky: the
"flying barrel"
AFTER the saucers, cigars, spheres, pots, here is the flying barrel. It was in the Charente that it was "seen" by a motorcyclist, Mr. Jean Allary. It was "studded with golden nails" and was swinging by the side of the road.
In Annoeullin, near Lille, a worker who was smoking a cigar (a real one) in his garden, saw a luminous object in the shape of a crescent landing twenty meters from him. At his shouts, ten billiards players came running from a nearby cafe; the saucer had taken off, but a dozen "luminous dots" were moving above them.
Saucers, cigars, discs, balls and other "flying" objects were spotted in Chancelade (Haute-Vienne), Willer (Haut-Rhin), Gouesnach, near Quimper, Bautignecourt, Ambazac (Haute-Vienne), Dijon, Marcoing, near Cambrai, Pommier (Indre), Rouen, Ajaccio, La Rochelle, Quimper, Cholet, Vannes, Lyon and Le Havre. In la Combe-au-Chèvres, in the Haut Jura, also, but it was just a rain gauge.
[Ref. lbr1:] "LA BOURGOGNE REPUBLICAINE" NEWSPAPER:
THE WANDERING "MARTIANS"
Nevers (from our Press Correspondent.). -- According to the testimonies of five people, whose sincerity cannot be doubted, a flying saucer crossed the sky of Château-Chinon on Sunday evening, around 9 p.m. The strange apparition took place around 9 pm. This time, it is a luminous spot, of oval shape, appearing motionless at a very high altitude. At one time the spot appeared to separate into two parts, and each of the formed discs began to turn at full speed, changing color several times. Then everything went out. At the end of a few minutes, the first light spot reappeared, before splitting again and turning. The same phenomenon repeated several times under the more amazed than frightened eyes of the five residents of Chateau-Chinon.
Is it the same machine that was seen at Santenay at approximately the same hour? In any case, the testimony of the residents of Santenay is confirmed by that of the Lille residents who, a few moments earlier, saw three luminous "croissants" above the region.
The "Sauceritis" continues its ravages
Morez (from our special correspondent). -- In the Upper Jura where the statements of the children of Prémanon affirming that they had stoned a saucer, the minds are heated.
The other day, a resident of Les Rousses (whose name is not given) announced that a saucer had landed at the "Combe aux Chèvres" in a small clearing in the forest of the Massacre.
In fact, the many curious (20 cars at least) who drove there, did see a metallic object resplendent in the sun.
In addition, police roadblocks had been installed on all roads. It was learned later that the police were hunting more for Baranès, whose passage to Switzerland was feared, than for the Martian, for the saucer of the forest of the Massacre was only a rain gauge installed there for years!
FLYING SAUCER IN SAVIGNY-LES-BEAUNE
Saturday, 10 pm. 30 and 23 h. 45, a group of four people from Savigny-les-Beaune saw a very bright "ball of fire" followed by a long green trail, which crossed the sky at a dizzying pace.
Two other people who were in a different place also noticed the phenomenon.
It is therefore not a hallucination ... but is it really a "saucer"?
Explanations:
Misinterpretation causing big fuss.
The "Baranès" that the police wanted to catch was André Baranès, a journalist involved in the affair of the leaks of the National Defense Committee in 1954. Reports of the Committee were found in possession of the French Communist Party.
Roger Wybot, director of the DST, the French intelligence service, had identified the informant as André Baranès, member of the Tunisian Communist Party then of the "colonial section" of the PCF, journalist with the communist weekly Action and the cpmmunist newspaper L'Humanité.
Oddly enough, another observation was reported at Les Rousses that day.

The General Penalty of Sins in Islam
These indecent deeds are called mortal sins in Islam and the Almighty Allah has clearly promised to punish those who commit these sins.
In addition to establishing severe punishments for some of these sins, Allah has excluded those who commit these sins (even once) from the just, i.e., He has taken away from them the honour of being a righteous member of the human society.
Whoever commits a mortal sin loses his justice and gets deprived of the privileges that a righteous member of the society can enjoy. He cannot be in charge of one of the various positions of the Islamic government; for example, he cannot become khalifah or imam al-jama'ah (the imam of congregational salat). His testimony to the benefit or detriment of others is not acceptable. He will remain in this state until he repents and develops the quality of justice in himself once again by constantly having taqwa (piety).
THE ESSENTIALITY OF EMPLOYMENT AND THE IMPORTANCE OF TRADE AND INDUSTRY
Endeavour and work are the base and foundation upon which the world of creation is established and these are the only guarantee for the survival of every creature. The Almighty Allah has equipped His creatures with suitable means with which they derive benefits and avoid losses.
Man, who is the most astonishing and sophisticated design of creation, has more requirements than any other creature. Thus he needs more endeavours with which he could meet his countless requirements and also maintain the family that he should naturally administer.
That is why Islam, which is a natural and social religion, considers working and earning as wajib for the people.
The Holy Prophet (SA) states: "It is wajib upon every Muslim man and woman to earn halal money for his or her livelihood and subsistence (Bihar al-Anwar, vol. 23, p 6)."
Islam has not attached any importance to those who spend their lives idly. Whenever the Holy Prophet (SA) saw a man whose strength and capability were surprising, he would ask: "Does he work?" If they said: "No, he is idle.", the Holy Prophet (SA) would state: "To me, he has no respect.", meaning that an idle youth had no value to the Prophet (SA) [Al-Mustadrak, vol. 2, p 501.].
In Islam, every individual should choose one of the many professions and industries towards which the Almighty Allah has guided him to choose according to his own aptitude and interest. He should earn his living in this way, carry one of the burdens of society on his back, and try to provide the people with comfort.
The Almighty Allah states: "And that man shall have nothing but what he strives for (53:39)."
In short, Islam has made the strongest recommendations about working and acquiring sustenance and has not disregarded the importance of economic activities even in the most critical moments so much so that Al-'Imam al-Sadiq (A) said to his friend Hisham: "Even during the war, when soldiers array in line and when the fire of battle is fanned, do not neglect your economic duty and necessary activities for providing your subsistence and follow your financial efforts in such difficult situations (Wasa'il al-Shi'ah, vol. 4, p 101.).
Thus idleness due to laziness is strictly forbidden in Islam.
DENOUNCEMENT OF IDLENESS
It is clear from what has been discussed earlier that working and making effort is a right path that creation has provided for man to attain his prosperity by following it. Surely, deviation from the path of creation and nature, no matter how minor it is, will only lead to the detriment of man. In this case, deviation from a matter upon which the very foundation of life is established will lead to nothing but misery in this world and in the Akhirah.
This is why the seventh infallible Imam Musa al-Kazim (AS) states: "Do not show sluggishness and tiredness in your work or else you will lose in this world and in the Akhirah."
The Holy Prophet (SA) has cursed those who have got used to idleness and who put the burden of their life on the shoulders of others.
Today, psychological and social experiments have thoroughly clarified that most social corruptions are generated by idleness. It is idleness that disrupts the economic and cultural activities of the society and gives rise to all kinds of moral decadence and superstitions.
AGRICULTURE AND ITS ADVANTAGES
Farming, which is the means for providing food for the society, is one of the most praiseworthy human professions due to its importance. Therefore, Islam has laid down great emphasis for choosing this profession.
The sixth infallible Imam Ja'far al-Sadiq (AS) states: "Farmers would enjoy more respectable positions than others on the Day of Qiyamah."
The fifth infallible Imam Muhammad al-Baqir (AS) states: "There is no job better than farming and there is no benefit better than the benefit of farming, because benevolents and malevolents grazing animals and birds benefit from it and pray for the farmer."
The Holy Prophet (SA) states: "A Muslim who plants a tree or cultivates a land from which people, birds, and grazing animals eat will have the reward of sadaqah (charity)."
Muslims are obliged to use their natural energy to the maximum, i.e., to the point where one of the religious leaders states: "If at the time when the world is to come to an end and the solar system is to collapse any one of you has a small plant in hand, he should plant it if he has enough time to do so (Al-Mustadrak, vol. 2, p 501). This means that the idea of the collapse of the world should not prevent you from performing this noble deed.
'Ali (AS) states: "Curse and imprecation of Allah be upon one who has land and water, i.e., one who has natural resources at his disposal but does not use his human skill to take advantage of them and consequently lives in poverty and beggary (Bihar al-Anwar, vol. 23, p 19)."
It has been repeatedly mentioned under the section on "Beliefs" that the general planning of Islam is that man should worship none except Allah and should not pay homage and bow down to anyone but He Who is the Creator of the world.
All are the creatures of Allah and receive their subsistence from Him. No one has privileges over others except in respect of those things which are done for the sake of Allah.
Every Muslim should have self-confidence and should take advantage of the blessing of independence given to him by the Almighty Allah. Man must use all the means that Allah has bestowed on him to pass his life. He should not rely upon others and consider a partner for Allah and worship a new idol each day. The servant should realize that he eats his own bread and not of the master. He should know that he receives the reward of his labour, not the tip from his master or lord. Every employee should believe that he receives the wages of his hard work, not the gift and gratuity from his boss, his office, the government, or the society. After all, a free man should not rely on and pay homage to any but Allah; otherwise, internally, he will have the same meanness and servitude of polytheism that the idol-worshippers have openly.
Finally, it should be noted that self-confidence means that man should use his intrinsic capability in his life and should not rely on others. It doesn't mean that he should dissociate from the Almighty Allah and consider himself to be really effective as the source of all hopes and desires.
THE DISADVANTAGES OF RELYING ON OTHERS
Relying on others, that is, living on the support of others, means giving up human pride, honour, independence, and freedom. It is the source of all kinds of offences and social misdeeds which originate from meanness and degradation.
Whoever relies on others and fixes his . eyes upon this or that person, indeed offers his will and commonsense for sale, for he should commit flattery and should do whatever (right or wrong, decent or indecent) they demand of him or order him to do.
He should resign himself to any disdain and scorn. He must practise xenophilism, agree to do any injustice and oppression, and at last consider all the limits and human laws as naught.
Asking for help in unnecessary cases is haram in Islam. Financial contribution to the needy, which is a part of Islamic provisions, only applies to those needy people whose earning is less than their expenses or to those who are disabled.

A Division Bench, comprising Justices A.K. Mishra and B.K. Narayana, gave the benefit of doubt in favour of the Talwars saying the parents didn't murder their child.
The Allahabad High Court on Thursday acquitted dentist couple Rajesh and Nupur Talwar and quashed their conviction in the 2008 murder of their teenage daughter Aarushi and domestic help Hemraj.
A Division Bench, comprising Justices A.K. Mishra and B.K. Narayana, gave the benefit of doubt in favour of the Talwars, saying the parents didn't murder their child.
The court said the CBI had failed to prove guilty beyond doubt accepting the argument of counsel for the Talwars that the case against them was based entirely on circumstantial evidence and that they were innocent.
Speaking to The Hindu, Rebecca John, the lawyer of the Talwars said, "I am happy that the Allahabad high court has allowed the appeal filed by Nupur and Rajesh Talwar against their conviction and sentence . The case against them was untenable in fact and law and their prosecution and subsequent conviction resulted in grave miscarriage of justice."
The couple were sentenced to life imprisonment by a special CBI court in Ghaziabad in November 2013.
They were also convicted of the destruction of evidence with common intent, while Rajesh was additionally convicted of giving a false statement to the police.
Aarushi Talwar, 14, was found dead with her throat slit in her bedroom in flat no. L-32 Jalvayu Vihar in Noida in the morning of May 16, 2008. The body of Hemraj, who was initially suspected of her murder, was found in a pool of blood on the terrace of the flat the following day. The door of the terrace was found locked from inside.
The case was handed over to the CBI after the Noida police were criticised for a ''botched up'' investigation, leading to the loss of crucial forensic evidence.

DPM additives are recommended as a sealing additive or performance treatment additive in auxiliary engines and emergency power plants.
DPM additives contain microscopic particles of Teflon (PTFE), which has a very low friction.
The combination of specially treated Teflon particles and other anti-wear, anti-friction and anti-oxidation additives in DPM provides better fuel economy, higher performance and minimum wear – even at high speeds and high loads.
If DPM is added to traditional lubricants added regularly, all types of diesel-powered machinery maximize protection DPM increases the lubricating properties of oil and is fully compatible with all engine oils, corresponding to international CC, CD and CF specifications.
DPM can be used with filters with filter pores of 5 microns and bigger. DPM's excellent lubricating properties help improve and maintain the lubricating properties of the engine oil. The regular use of DPM reduces the amount of wear particles (metal) in the oil.
DPM lubricates and protects the engine at temperatures far above what normal oil can resist, which is important especially for turbocharged engines.
DPM can be used at temperatures from -30 °C to +250 °C.
Change oil and oil filters and let the engine run till it is warm.
Shake the bottle with DPM very thoroughly and add the additive to the oil.
Start the engine again and let it run for minimum 15 minutes.
Repeat the treatment at every oil change.
NB: New or fully refurnished engines must run 50 hours before they can be treated with DPM.
DPM additives are recommended as a sealing additive or diesel performance additive in auxiliary diesel engines and emergency power plants.
1 liter DPM is sufficient for 32 liters of engine oil. In case of heavey leakage, please, consult Lindemann team before use.

Badhaai Ho box office collection: Ayushmann Khurrana's film expected to open at Rs 5.50 crore
Updated Oct 17, 2018 | 21:59 IST | Amman Khurana
Badhaai Ho, that stars Ayushmann Khurrana, Sanya Malhotra, Neena Gupta and Gajraj Rao in the lead roles, will open at Rs 5.50 crore, predicts film exhibitor Akshaye Rathi.
Sanya Malhotra (L), Ayushmann Khurrana in stills from Badhaai Ho
Badhaai Ho, that stars Ayushmann Khurrana, Sanya Malhotra, Neena Gupta and Gajraj Rao in the lead roles, is less than a day away from its theatrical release. The comedy drama, directed by Amit Ravindernath Sharma, has great buzz surrounding its release, thanks to its unique subject and a trailer that has successfully managed to catch the fancy of average moviegoer in India. But will this buzz translate into numbers at the box-office? We spoke to film exhibitor Akshaye Rathi to know his views.
"The trailer of Badhaai Ho has worked phenomenally well among the audience. The film has captured the imagination of the audience really well, at least that's what the response to the trailer suggests," Akshaye said.
Ayushmann recently tasted success in the form of AndhaDhun. Can that work in the favour of Badhaai Ho?
"I really don't think that the success of AndhaDhun will be much of a factor contributing in the success of Badhaai Ho. I think this film have to fight its own battle and will emerge a success purely on the basis of its merit. If the trailer is anything to go by, the film looks very honest and will definitely appeal to the audiences," he opined.
Predicting the opening-day collection of Badhaai Ho, Akshaye said, "I think it can easily earn Rs 5.50 crore on Day 1."
Jointly produced by Junglee Pictures and Chrome Pictures, Badhaai Ho is slated to release on October 18. The film will compete at the box-office against the Arjun Kapoor and Parineeti Chopra-starrer Namaste England.

Here's our Saffron Road Spring'14 survival kit: the MUST HAVE trends, looks and accessories to get you through this long awaited season.
Anything goes with colour and print for Spring! Go bold with floral, plaid and graphic prints. Play with pop colours in yellow, pink, green and orange. Keep cool with neutral, muddy tones. We're hearing a lot about the always-popular-for-Spring pastel. We understand that this trend can sometimes be tricky, so we suggest trying a soft, blush pink.
We put enough effort into making our workout gear look good, so why not take it to next level and make comfort look fabulous?! We're seeing this trend everywhere! In footwear we have the wedge runner and platform slip on. Dresses from Robert Rodriguez's and Bailey 44 are detailing with perforated textiles. Judith and Charles, DWP and theory perfect the slouchy, sporty chic pant. Sporting this look is fun!
Things are looking up...in the rise, that is. Be it the still popular skinny pant, or the fun and flirty circle skirt, you have plenty of options. This is perfect timing as it will be a necessity for the new shapes and lengths we're seeing in tops this Spring.
Not sure you want to bare your midriff? Don't panic! It's not the only way to wear this popular trend. Pair your mini top to your high rise bottom or try layering it over a dress. You can even wear it to the office layered over a blouse and pencil skirt. Don't knock it 'til you try it.
Sophistication and elegance go beyond colour and accessories this season. The lady-like trend comes in the form of suiting, skirting, blouses, and dresses. Within these forms, you will see a dramatic change in structure and shape with feminine details such as florals, soft pinks, and lace.
At Saffron Road we offer a variety of jewelry to suit every possible outfit your wardrobe has to offer. You can sparkle with Myka, channel your inner bohemian beach babe with Chan Luu or find intention with Pyrrha and Love Heals. These collections not only enhance your wardrobe, but make for fabulous gifts.


Nothing can send a college student into crisis faster than finding out there is a test that he/she didn't know or forgot unless it's the assignment that's due in your next class that can't be found.
Organization is key to success. No one has time to spare so it's important to not waste time looking for missing papers, files, or textbooks.
Below are some strategies to help you get and stay organized.
Office365 is offered to OCCC students free to help with work expected as part of your time here. You can work on your assignments at any location you have Internet and save the completed work back into the cloud to be able to access when you are back on campus. No flash drives to manage!
Organizing your digital self is just as important and organizing the things that you physically see and use on a daily basis. A lot of time can be wasted searching for files and images.
As you read and learn you are going to have many thoughts. Some will be questions to ask, others will be things to consider as you continue your progress toward your degree. Recording them in a logical format will allow you to go back and reference them. Consider using the notes app on your phone or Evernote for this purpose. You can also carry a small notebook with you most of the time to allow you to record your great ideas.
What's important makes it on your calendar. Using your calendar or task list in your electronic calendar is a great way to manage tasks. If a task doesn't get completed during the day on which it's been placed on you calendar, it moves to the next day.
5. Once you have a system, keep it!
Getting organized is a lot of hard work. If you get things organized in a manner that works for you, don't let it fall apart. If you work just a few minutes each day, you can keep things organized and reduce the amount of time you need to find things.

Building Leadership, One Stitch at a Time
Fallujah, Iraq
Written by International Medical Corps
As a self-taught seamstress and the loving caretaker of her deceased brothers' children, 41-year-old Sawsan serves as a constant inspiration to those around her. Sawsan* grew up within a large family in Iraq, the daughter of an ambulance driver and a stay-at-home mother. She dropped out of school at the primary level and, at 20 years old, decided to help her father and brothers with living expenses. She had little formal education and no vocational skills at the time, so she drew on her strength and determination.
Sawsan started baking and selling bread, kneading the dough with her hands and enduring the heat of a traditional oven until a neighbor suggested she try to learn to sew instead. Although Sawsan felt she was too old to learn a new skill, she borrowed a sewing machine from an acquaintance and reached out to her neighbor for lessons. Her busy neighbor only had time to show Sawsan how to thread the sewing machine, after which Sawsan took matters into her own hands. "I started teaching myself," she says. "I started making simple things and they looked funny, but I continued and ended up saving money until I could buy my own sewing machine."
Sawsan continued honing her new skills and started receiving jobs from shops and workshop owners, eventually becoming so busy sewing for clients that she had to turn down several offers. Soon thereafter, women in her community began asking Sawsan to teach them to sew. She wanted to share her skills, but did not have space in her house to start a workshop. Then she discovered the International Medical Corps-supported Al-Farah Multi-Service Center in Fallujah, and applied for a job as a sewing instructor.
The multi-service center, which opened in 2017, was established with support from the Government of Canada, as part of efforts to provide humanitarian assistance to conflict-affected communities in Iraq. Aside from women's empowerment activities, the center provides essential primary health screenings and consultations, mental health case management and psychosocial support, and gender-based violence and response services, as well as community outreach.
Today, Sawsan trains women and girls through the center. "I suffered a lot while learning how to sew, so I feel for the trainees," she says.
"I didn't have someone to teach me and I couldn't attend sessions, so now I want to help these women have this opportunity."
Sawsan
According to Sawsan, "God sent me to Al-Farah Center so I can deliver my skills to women." Sawsan tells us that her trainees get encouraged when they hear her story, as they believed it was impossible to learn sewing at an older age. She tells them, "If you say you will learn, you will." Sawsan also advises her trainees to look for opportunities and not wait for them to come. "You don't need to wait for clients," she says. "You need to create opportunities."
Meanwhile, Sawsan is busy caring for several of her nieces and nephews. After her brother died several years ago, Sawsan raised his then two-year-old son as her own; the boy has since grown and recently married. Sawsan's second brother died three years ago, leaving a widow and seven children. His wid ow remarried and left the children—ranging from ages five to seventeen—with Sawsan, who has looked after them ever since. "The youngest calls me mom," says Sawsan lovingly.
All of the school-age children are attending school, and Sawsan supports them with their studies. "Yousif is the top of his class," says Sawsan of her six-year-old nephew. Sawsan, like everyone living in Fallujah city, was forced to flee with her family during the 2016 Iraqi military operations to retake the city from the Islamic State. Due to their displacement, her nieces and nephews lost a year of studies, but Sawsan made sure they resumed their studies once they returned back to Fallujah.
Sawsan considers raising her nieces and nephews to be her calling in life. She says she often gets sympathetic remarks from women who feel sorry for her for not getting married. But she believes that everything happens for a reason—and that she was prepared all her life to take care of her brothers' children.
Sawsan can always be seen with a smile on her face and has an encouraging word for everybody she meets. "I advise every person not to lose hope," says Sawsan.
"Everything happens for a reason. Hardship is a test. Things will get better. Maybe fate is decided, but we make the best of it."
