Masochists rejoice
Dark Souls III is here, and we've got first impressions
Rot, ruin, and death await you.
Spring is traditionally a slow time of year for big game releases, but that doesn't mean we aren't getting any big games this month. First, Xbox and Windows 10-exclusive Quantum Break unleashed time-bending shenanigans on the masses. Now Dark Souls III from Bandai Namco has arrived on Xbox One, Steam, and PlayStation 4. Read on for first impressions and gameplay video of this amazing action role-playing game!
Turning back the rot and ruin
Dark Souls III marks the return of Dark Souls and Bloodborne director Hidetaka Miyazaki, who produced but did not directly oversee Dark Souls II. This third game is also the culmination of the series, with the dark fantasy kingdom of Lothric finally on the brink of apocalypse. Only an undead warrior known as the Ashen One can stand against the final ruin of Lothric.
After creating a character and customizing his or her class and starting equipment, players awaken in the Cemetery of Ash. This starting location showcases the game's gorgeous water effects, with pools of standing water splashing realistically as the Ashen One moves through. Simple undead enemies walk the Cemetery, allowing players to come to grips with the basics of Dark Souls III's deep combat system.
Although the Dark Souls games are classified as action-RPGs, the brutal combat always stands apart from other games in the genre. Armed with two basic types of attack and three defensive moves (roll, block, and parry), players must strategically evade enemy attacks and strike back at just the right moment.
A couple of mistakes and you'll drop dead, leaving the Souls you collected on the ground. Fail to retrieve them on your next life and they'll be gone for good. Since Souls are used both to level up and purchase equipment and services, you'll want to weigh the risks whenever entering dangerous areas. On the plus side, players no longer become a "Hollow" (spirit) after dying, making it easier to recover after suffering a setback.
Huge bosses loom ahead
As the Ashen Hero emerges from the Cemetery, he discovers a statue of a knight with a sword thrust through it. Pull the sword out and you'll face Dark Souls III first boss, Iudex Gundyr. The towering knight swings a deadly polearm. By carefully blocking or rolling from his attacks, players should be able to pound away at his life. But once Iudex Gundyr takes too much damage, he spouts a massive, disgusting growth that greatly increases his range and threat level. It took me something like ten tries to survive the battle, but that's the Dark Souls way.
Shortly after defeating Iudex Gundur, players will reach the Firelink Shrine, a small haven from the darkness that consumes Lothric. Here you can build a camp fire that will allow you to travel to other campfires, as well as the next area – The High Wall of Lothric. You'll also meet friendly NPCs who will level you up or improve your equipment for souls.
The High Wall of Lothric is home to a number of creepy emaciated cultists who pray to disgusting shrines. Few of the wretched creatures even stand up to the Ashen One when facing death. But fearsome enemies occupy the Wall as well, such as rotting dog-like creatures and skull-faced pikemen. Somewhere along the High Wall, there lives a gigantic dragon as well…
A perilous and trying adventure awaits
I've only played Dark Souls III for a couple of hours, which is long enough for me to become totally engrossed with it. The game's desolate world is filled with a ruined beauty and sense of physical and spiritual decay that you won't find in many other games.
The frame rate is not as smooth as most of us would like, but that has been true of every Souls game as well as Bloodborne. The loading times are a bit long when traveling to new areas, but still faster than previous entries. And the challenge so far has been stiff but manageable for a relative newcomer like me.
Dark Souls III is now available on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and Steam. We'll spend a lot more time with the Xbox One version as we prepare for a full review. I'll also look at the Dark Souls III Collector's Edition Strategy Guide from Prima Games, publisher of last year's very solid Halo 5 Collector's Edition Guide.
Will Dark Souls III break my gaming soul, dear readers? We'll soon find out!

Though efforts to reduce emissions from point sources have been made for decades, pollution from nonpoint sources is now the largest source of pollution in waterways [1 , 2] . Nonpoint source (NPS) pollution may deteriorate the water quality of rivers and lakes, as well as residents' health, property values, and the entire ecosystem  . The development of effective measures to control diffuse pollution has emerged as a major priority with respect to the improvement of water quality  . In Korea, the Ministry of Environment surveyed nonpoint sources throughout the country in 1995, confirming that nonpoint sources constituted from 30% to 70% of existing water pollution sources. Thus, to prevent NPS pollution in Korea, each local government is required to make a progress plan for system improvement and NPS pollution reduction based on the "General Management Measures of Four Major Rivers' Nonpoint Source Pollution (2004–2020)"  . In the early stages, the measures were designed to enhance the system. However, these measures have been implemented unilaterally by the central government. In addition, some projects that needed inter-governmental cooperation were undertaken without appropriate communication. To manage NPSs and to implement the management policies effectively, it is necessary to ensure an intimate cooperation among the stakeholders. NPS pollution is usually caused by numerous small sources, and addressing these sources requires coordination and cooperation among stakeholders  . Thus a governance system is needed in watershed management to encourage coordination and cooperation between various stakeholders. Governance for effective watershed management includes a range of political, social, economic, and administrative systems for regulating the development and management of water resources and the provision of water services throughout the various demands within society  . In particular, collaborative management is suggested as an alternative to regulation for solving nonpoint source pollution from urban and agricultural runoff, and also habitat loss  . The literature related to NPS pollution management through governance has focused on analyzing case studies in many countries [2 , 4 , 9 - 13] . Thus, this study aims to build an integrated governance model, and to find governance-based measures to manage NPS pollution of watershed management in Korea.
as a primary contributor to environmental degradation has led many people to conclude that centralized, federally controlled efforts are insufficient to solve many environmental problems [14 - 16] . In the environmental arena, growing concerns over NPS pollution have led governments working with non-profit organizations rather than relying on traditional regulatory approaches  . Because poor governance according to a rule-based approach has resulted in many problems associated with managing water resources  .
Governance is more effective than, and normatively superior to, centralized state control [19 , 20] . Many collaborative efforts have been initiated to address various water management issues at the watershed level [11 , 21] . Watershed management solutions can and should be developed with the participation of watershed stakeholders, which includes anyone who can influence or who is influenced by water quality in the watershed  . Therefore, among the fastest growing types of collaboration are groups dedicated to watershed management  .
The number of NPS pollution sources increase every year, despite the fact that the policies are focused mainly on the treatment of NPS pollution. This focus has made it difficult to manage the improvement of the water quality in a ground-breaking way. Given this situation, a management system for NPS pollution was adopted by the Ministry of Environment in 1998, but because the control policies were applied only by the Ministry of Environment, they were inadequate for the efficient management of water quality. Therefore, comprehensive countermeasures that encompass the four major rivers in Korea were established through joint participation cooperation of the following departments: the Ministry of Environment; the Ministry of Land, Transport, and, Maritime Affairs; the Ministry of Food, Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries; and other related institutions in 2004. In spite of these new attempts, the policies still involve problems such as a lack of understanding of the characteristics of land and rivers, indiscriminate adaptation of foreign policies, and weak cooperation between the government institutions. In March 2005, the Water Quality and Ecosystem Conservation Act was modified to control NPS pollution. The Act implemented a reporting system for the establishment of NPS sources, as well as a designation system of NPS source control district, in 2006. In Korea, the management procedures of NPS pollution are as follows: department of government make the detailed plans. Based on these detailed plans, Ministry of Environment establishes the comprehensive detailed plan, organizing and operating a task force. The Prime Minister's Office manages the implementation accomplishments. NPS pollution governance in Korea is a government-led hierarchy structure as Fig. 1 . In this respect, the governance structure lacks both stakeholder participation and cooperation.
Governance refers to the means for achieving direction, control, and coordination of individuals and organizations with varying degrees of autonomy to advance joint objectives [23 - 25] . Mukherji and Shah  describe it as meaning "de-centering and diversification of the state into a number of levels that stretch horizontally from civil society and market organizations on the one hand and vertically from the transnational to local self-government institutions on the other." Based on these concepts, governance constitutes participation and relationship of stakeholders. The participation and relationship of stakeholders could be realized through appropriate organizations.
Governance involves the identification of who is responsible for specific decisions, how the organization is to be managed, how objectives are identified and met, how performance is managed, and who bears the general oversight of management [27 , 28] . Hence, governmental institutions including agencies, programs, and policies and actors, such as agency personnel and elected officials, typically influence the environmental and social outcomes of collaborative environmental management partnerships  .
of ground rules and stakeholder compositions are procedural characteristics for successful watershed governance  . Governance, which is accomplished through social and institutional networks, can facilitate a more equitable distribution of power and decision-making  . Levels of decision or participation are classified according to shared information, consultation with stakeholders, and advisory or managerial participation in the planning process  . Such governance would need to include enabling statutes, organizational and financial resources, programmatic structures, and administrative rules and routines [23 , 24 , 31 , 32] . Koontz et al.  determined the pathways to governance outcomes as issue definition resources, and decisionmaking processes.
Public managers often use collaboration as a strategy to improve the governance of inter-organizational networks  . Collaboration represents a process whereby entities share information, resources, and responsibilities to jointly plan, implement, and evaluate activity programs to achieve a common or compatible goal  . Collaborative strategies emphasize the inclusion of diverse stakeholders in planning. Virtually all common property systems are enmeshed in complex institutional networks which include regional and national governmental organizations and private corporations and individuals, in addition to one or more local, common property institutions [1 , 5 , 20 , 21 , 34] . The collaboration mechanisms of stakeholders in governance are trust and respect [16 , 34 - 38] , clarity or definition of the issue, resources [11 , 33 , 35 , 37 , 39] motivation  , legislation, and policy and programs [20 , 40] .
Based on these characteristics of governance, organization, stakeholders, relational mechanism, resources, level of decisionmaking, and program could be typical factors of governance model. Brief meanings of each factor are described in Fig. 2 . Using these factors and meanings, this study makes a framework and factors of a governance model for NPS pollution management, as shown in Fig. 3 .
A general governance model was derived through a literature review related to watershed management governance. The components of the governance model include governance and partnership types, membership, role, principles of the economic instrument, a collaboration mechanism, and a program. In addition, this study has derived management plans for NPS pollution from the policy directions, central agendas, and sectional measures included in "General Management Measures of Four Major Rivers," the comprehensive measures for managing NPS pollution according to Ministry of Environment  , Cooperation of Relevant Authorities  , and Korea Environmental Institute  .

about 55% (25 out of 45).
This study employs one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) to determine the most statistically significant alternative among such aspects as governance type, council type, alternative financial resources, and relational mechanism of participants, all of which were the operational components of the governance system except for the role of participants. As for the specifics of statistical analysis, this study verified the statistical significance using one-way ANOVA with 95% confidence levels, and tested differences among groups using the Tukey method of post-hoc analysis  . As mentioned above, the levels of the various participants' roles were determined through suitability verification. To elicit the measures for NPS pollution management, the factor analysis was employed following the central agenda of the "General Management Measures of Four Major Rivers." The results of the factor analysis were that a plan having greater than the eigenvalue of one was chosen as a category of NPS pollution management measures. The governance model shown in Table 1 is an integrated system composed of both governance characteristics and NPS pollution management programs.

principle (3.20), and the victim-pays principle (1.92). Regarding the collaboration mechanism, motivation (4.28) was the highest concern, followed by empowerment (4.16), trust building, and appropriate regulations (4.08). Fig. 4 shows that the mean of the decision-making level for the local authority that was responsive was the highest, followed by the central government, residents, academics and experts, developers and enterprise, and citizens' groups.
developers and enterprises, and experts. Authority groups, central government and local authorities, play a decision-making role, and non-authority groups, citizens' groups, residents, developers and enterprises, and experts play the role of discussion and coordination. There were such principles of financial resource as polluter-pays, recipient-pays, and general-tax-sources principles. Collaboration mechanisms we found were motivation, confidence-building, capacity building, and optimal regulations.
The programs, as shown in Tables 4 – 6 , were entered into a factor analysis to identify the primary mechanism of variation relating to neighborhood character. Two factors were generated, accounting for 67.9% of the total variation in the system improvement section, 68.2% in the pilot management projects section, and 83.1% in the research and publicity section. Based on these factor loadings, each factor was interpreted as a dimension of neighborhood character ( Tables 4 – 6 ).
and 2) establishing of NPS management system. Detailed programs in the system improvement section included the following sections: 1) providing plans, guidelines, and regulations related to NPS pollution management and 2) vesting in the control obligation and establishing a NPS pollution management system.
private and the public, capacity building of the private and the public, and optimal regulations related to NPS pollution management. This council should be supported by the financial sources funded by the polluter-pays, recipient-pays, and general- tax-sources principles. Both the polluter pays principle and recipient pays principle have been generally applied to securing financial resources for watershed management. Additionally, a general-tax-sources principle has been considered, because water is public property and affects various stakeholders. All stakeholders have participated in the decision-making process in accordance with their roles. The public participants, such as central government and local authority, could play a role as decision makers. Private and expert groups could act as discussants and coordinators. The council could perform the projects, including system improvement, pilot management projects, and research and publicity. Different roles at decision-making seem closely related to both the characteristics of NPS pollution management programs and the limited finance and capacity for final decision-making by residents, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), academy, and experts to establish the institutional systems and the implementation projects relevant to NPS pollution management. The NPS pollution management measures consist of stages such as initiation, policy development, pilot project development, and institutional development, which ensure the improvement of project efficiency. From now on, in order to enforce NPS pollution management with efficiency, it is recommended that the management scheme ensures the equal participation of stakeholders in decision-making processes, within a council-based governance system.
NPS pollution management is currently the most critical issue in controlling water quality. This study has suggested an integrated governance model to manage NPS pollution effectively in watershed management practiced in Korea. The governance model was derived by analyzing the characteristics of governance and the management plans for NPS pollution. To build an objective model, an expert survey and statistical analyses like ANOVA and factor analysis were employed. The integrated governance model was composed of a council based on privatepublic partnership, different decision-making levels between stakeholders, and a variety of financial resources, including the polluter-pays, general-tax, and recipient-pays principles. The collaborative mechanism was also a critical factor for operating the other governance factors. The reasonable distribution of membership roles acts as an effective tool for the operation of the program. Furthermore, the economic instrument, guarantees stabilized financial resources for the program.

Register of the Kentucky Historical Society
Garlin M. Conner: The Elusive Medal of Honor
Hugh Ridenour
Kentucky Historical Society
Volume 110, No. 1, Winter 2012
10.1353/khs.2012.0008
Hugh Ridenour (bio)
On a beautiful spring day in May 1945, residents of Clinton and surrounding counties traveled from the hills of south-central Kentucky by foot, wagon, and automobile to see and honor the hometown soldier from Aaron, Kentucky, who had just returned from the war with numerous military decorations. A parade featuring prominent locals and the guest of honor, Garlin Murl Conner, wound through Albany to the town square and then to a ceremony in a large second-floor room in the courthouse. With the room filled to capacity, several dignitaries, including Alvin York, the renowned World War I Medal of Honor recipient, addressed the audience. Fifteen-year-old Pauline Wells, standing on a bench in the back of the crowded room and frustrated by the long wait, asked her mother repeatedly, "Where is he?" Each time her mother admonished Pauline to be patient. When the guest of honor finally rose to speak, Pauline exclaimed, rather matter of factly, "That little wharf rat? Why, he couldn't have done all those things!" She later characterized Conner as a "cocky little fellow, but humble and yet proud of what he had accomplished."1 [End Page 67]
Only two months after this homecoming celebration, twenty-six-year-old Conner enjoyed a brief courtship with the much-younger Pauline, married her, and immediately returned to his familiar rural community. Eager to put the war behind him and focus on his future, Conner and his young bride leased from his father a mule, some farming tools, and thirty-six acres along Indian Creek in Clinton County. There he embarked on life as a farmer. As the years passed, his close friends and associates indicated that Conner seldom talked about his war service, and each time someone suggested that he pursue efforts to add the deserved Medal of Honor to his list of decorations, he emphatically dismissed the idea. His usual reply was, "I'd done what I had to do and come home, and that's all there is to it" or "It is in the past and in the past let it remain," refusing to consider it further. Pauline said her husband "thought people would say he was bragging, and he didn't want that." His response was typical of many returning veterans, who believed they had done nothing extraordinary.2
Conner farmed all his life and for several years served as president of the local Kentucky Farm Bureau. In addition, he and his wife worked tirelessly helping disabled veterans receive their pension benefits, a service his wife continued. He died in 1998 at the age of seventy-nine after battling kidney failure and diabetes, which in his last years left him bedridden and unable to speak.3
Conner's death only strengthened the resolve of his friends and advocates, for they now no longer needed to be concerned with Conner's sensitivity to the subject of the Medal of Honor. Pauline fully supported the effort and believed that her husband, so quiet and unassuming, would have been less averse to a posthumous award. [End Page 68]
Approximately two years before Conner's death, Richard Chilton of Genoa City, Wisconsin, a decorated Green Beret veteran of Korea and the Persian Gulf, had learned of Conner while corresponding with veterans who might have known his uncle, Gordon Roberts. Chilton wished to know more about the death of his uncle during the Anzio campaign. Unfortunately, out of nearly three hundred veterans of the Third Infantry Division, only two or three remembered his uncle, but several mentioned Conner. With what seemed his last option, Chilton wrote to Conner, who replied that he had been, in fact, Gordon Robert's platoon sergeant at the time he was killed. However, the promised follow-up letter with more details never arrived.
After eventually receiving a letter from Conner's wife indicating that because of ill health her husband could no longer write or speak, Chilton finally had to face the possibility that he might never know what had happened to his uncle. "I closed the book," he recalled. Then either "fate, purpose, take your pick," intervened. A friend called...

The Bin Ladens and the Bushes: On 9/11 George Herbert W. Bush Meets Osama's Brother Shafiq bin Laden
News, Pentagon, The Official Conspiracy Theory, United States No Responses »
https://www.globalresearch.ca/author/michel-chossudovsky
This article was first published on March 31, 2017. An earlier version was published in 2015
Lest we forget, one day before the 9/11 attacks [as well as on the morning of 9/11, the dad of the sitting President of the United States of America, George Herbert Walker Bush was meeting none other than Shafiq bin Laden, the brother of the alleged terror mastermind Osama bin Laden.
It was a routine business meeting on September 10-11, no conflict of interest, no relationship to the 9/11 attacks which allegedly were carried out on the orders of Shafiq's brother Osama, no FBI investigation into the links between the Bush and bin Laden families.
What is presented below is a factual account. Confirmed by the Washington Post, "fellow investors" of the Carlyle Group including Osama's brother Shafiq bin Laden and Dubya's dad former President George H. W. Bush met in the plush surroundings of New York's Ritz-Carlton Hotel on September 10-11, 2001. Their business encounter under the auspices of the Carlyle Group was unfortunately interrupted on September 11 by the 9/11 attacks.
It didn't help that as the World Trade Center burned on Sept. 11, 2001, the news interrupted a Carlyle business conference at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel here attended by a brother of Osama bin Laden [Shafiq bin Laden]. Former president Bush [senior], a fellow investor, had been with him at the conference the previous day. (Greg Schneider, Pairing the Powerful With the Rich, Washington Post, March 16, 2003)
screenshot Washington Post, March 16, 2003
A timely business meeting on September 10-11 at the Ritz Carlton with Osama's brother disrupted by the 9/11 attacks: pure coincidence, totally unrelated to the 9/11 attacks.
What was GWB's Dad "Poppy" doing with Osama's brother Shafiq on September 10?
Media coverup: the WP report came out 18 months later in March 2003. There was no media coverage of the Shafiq bin Laden – G. Herbert W. Bush meeting in September 2001. The event was known, yet mainstream media editors decided not to provide coverage of this timely 9/11 encounter at the Ritz Carleton.
A day later, on the evening of September 11, 2001, president George W. Bush pronounced a historic speech in which he defined the relationship between "terrorists' and "state sponsors of terrorism":
The search is underway for those who are behind these evil acts. I've directed the full resources of our intelligence and law enforcement communities to find those responsible and to bring them to justice. We will make no distinction between the terrorists who committed these acts and those who harbor them. (emphasis added)
Let's be clear as to what happened: the dad of the sitting president of the US was "harboring" (to use GWB's expression) the brother of the alleged terror mastermind of the 9/11 attacks.

The Cost Of Post 9/11 Wars Hit $5.9 Trillion
Afghanistan, Iraq, Middle East, News, Professional Attention, United States No Responses »
By Claudia Grisales
November 15, 2018 "Information Clearing House" – WASHINGTON — The price for America's longest wars has surpassed more than $5.9 trillion and at least 480,000 lost lives, according to a new study released by the Watson Institute for International and Public Affairs at Brown University.
The figures highlight the toll of U.S. war operations around the world since the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, and the study projects the numbers could rise.
"It's important for the American people to understand the true costs of war, both the moral and monetary costs," said Sen. Jack Reed, the ranking Democrat on the Senate Armed Services Committee, who helped introduce the report Wednesday at a meeting on Capitol Hill. "Our nation continues to finance wars and military operations through borrowing, rather than asking people to contribute to the national defense directly, and the result is a serious fiscal drag that we're not really accounting for or factoring into deliberations about fiscal policy or military policy."
The study's death estimates include nearly 7,000 U.S. service members, nearly 8,000 U.S. contractors, more than 100,0000 military and police members from other countries, more than 244,000 civilians and more than 100,000 opposition fighters.
The $5.9 trillion U.S. cost includes Pentagon spending through fiscal year 2019, such as direct and indirect spending as well as future war-related costs for post-9/11 war veterans. It represents U.S. spending in the war zones of Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan and other locations designated as "overseas contingency operations."
It also includes war-related spending by other agencies, such as the State Department and the Department of Homeland Security, costs of veterans care as well as debt used to pay for the wars.
"Veterans benefits and disability spending, and the cost of interest on borrowing to pay for the wars, will comprise an increasingly large share of the costs," said Neta Crawford, a political science professor at the institute, who authored the study.
The institute's "Costs of War" project, with 35 scholars, legal experts, human rights practitioners and physicians, began tracking the costs of the post-9/11 wars in 2011 and continues to release updated reports. The group, which does its work through Brown University, said it uses research and public data to facilitate greater transparency of the actual toll of the wars.
Even if the wars were to end by 2023, the United States is on track to spend an additional $808 billion, bringing the overall tally to at least $6.7 trillion, according to the study. That doesn't include future interest payments on the spending.
War appropriations for Iraq and Afghanistan are funded by deficit spending and borrowing, and not new taxes or war bonds, the study notes. This adds to interest costs, it concludes.
Those interest payments could shift with the winds of the economy and other factors, with some pundits estimating those fees alone could total trillions.
"The U.S. continues to fund the wars by borrowing, so this is a conservative estimate of the consequences of funding the war as if on a credit card, in which we are only paying interest even as we continue to spend," Crawford said.
Tracking an overall cost for the post-9/11 wars is challenging because different departments take part in the spending.
In March 2018, the Defense Department estimated it had spent $1.5 trillion in war-related appropriations, but that only includes a portion of all war spending, the study argued.
With no single number for the budgetary costs of the wars, it makes assessing costs, risks and benefits difficult, Crawford said. Because taxpayers tend to focus on direct military spending, it discounts the larger budgetary costs of the wars and underestimates its greater significance, she added.
"In sum, high costs in war and war-related spending pose a national security concern because they are unsustainable," Crawford said. "The public would be better served by increased transparency and by the development of a comprehensive strategy to end the wars and deal with other urgent national security priorities."
The study also tallied the number of soldiers and sailors injured in the wars. Since 2001, more than 53,700 U.S. servicemembers have been injured in Iraq and Afghanistan. Of those injuries, 62 percent were hurt in Iraq, while 38 percent were injured in Afghanistan.
Though the fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq has been less intense than in recent years, the toll of civilians killed in Afghanistan in 2018 is on track to be one of the highest death tolls of the war, Crawford said in her study.
Most of these war deaths in Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria have been caused by militants, but some of them are at the hands of the United States and its coalition partners, Crawford said.
Yet, the tally remains incomplete, and there are efforts by the United Nations to track and identify perpetrators of those deaths and injuries, she noted. Other organizations, such as the Congressional Research Service and the news media, are also attempting to track these figures.
"Indeed, we may never know the total direct death toll in these wars," she said.
In addition, this tally does not include "indirect deaths" — people harmed as a result of long-term damage left in the war zones, such as lost access to food and water.
"This update just scratches the surface of the human consequences of 17 years of war," Crawford said. "There are a number of areas — the number of civilians killed and injured, and the number of U.S. military and veteran suicides, for instance — where greater transparency would lead to greater accountability and could lead to better policy."

A Brown University study has found the human and financial costs of the post-9/11 wars continue to rise. These are some statistics highlighted in the report:
The U.S. government is conducting counterterrorism activities in 76 countries
More than 244,000 civilians have been killed as a result of the fighting
More than 480,000 have died due to direct war violence, and several times as many indirectly
The wars have created 10.1 million refugees and displaced persons
The U.S. cost for the post-9/11 wars is more than $5.9 trillion
War Criminals in High Office Commemorate the End of World War I
Justifying War, News, Professional Attention No Responses »
By Prof Michel Chossudovsky
November 14, 2018 "Information Clearing House" – In a bitter irony, several of the World's leaders who were "peacefully" commemorating the end of World War I in Paris including Trump, Netanyahu, Macron and May are the protagonists of war in Afghanistan, Palestine, Syria, Libya, Iraq and Yemen.
To put it bluntly they are war criminals under international law.
They have blood on their hands.
What on earth are they commemorating?
In the words of Hans Stehling: "As We Honour the 15 Million Dead of 1914-1918, a Demented US President Flies into Paris with Plans to Attack Iran" [with nuclear weapons] (Global Research, November 12, 2018)
Lest we forget: War is the ultimate crime, "The Crime against Peace" as defined under Nuremberg.
The US and its allies have embarked upon the ultimate war crime, a Worldwide military adventure, "a long war", which threatens the future of humanity.
The Pentagon's global military design is one of world conquest.
The War to End all Wars???
One hundred years later: What's happening NOW in November 2018?
Major military and covert intelligence operations have been launched in the Middle East, Eastern Europe, sub-Saharan Africa, Central Asia and the Far East. The U.S. military agenda combines both major theatre operations as well as covert actions geared towards destabilizing sovereign states, not to mention economic warfare.
In the course of the last seventeen years, starting in the immediate wake of 9/11, a series of US-NATO led wars have been launched: Afghanistan, Iraq, Lebanon, Libya, Syria, Yemen, resulting in millions of civilian deaths and countless atrocities. These wars have been led by the US and its NATO allies.
It is all for a good cause:
"Responsibility to Protect"(R2P),
"Going after the bad guys",
Waging a "Global War on Terrorism".
It just so happens that "Outside Enemy Number One" Osama bin Laden was recruited by the CIA.
And the Bush and the Bin Laden families are friends.
Confirmed by the Washington Post Osama's brother Shafiq bin Laden was meeting with George W Bush's Dad, George H. Walker Bush at a Carlyle business meeting at the Ritz Carleton in New York on September 10, one day before 9/11:
It didn't help that as the World Trade Center burned on Sept. 11, 2001, the news interrupted a Carlyle business conference at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel here attended by a brother of Osama bin Laden. Former president Bush, a fellow investor, had been with him at the conference the previous day. (WaPo, March 16, 2003)
Now does that not sound like a "conspiracy theory"? While Osama was allegedly coordinating the attack on the WTC, his brother Shafiq was meeting up with the President's Dad, according to the Washington Post.
In turn, according to the Wall Street Journal "The bin Laden family has become acquainted with some of the biggest names in the Republican Party…" (WSJ, 27 September 2001)
Here is a rather "believe it or not" concept: if the US were to boost defence spending to go after Osama bin Laden (Enemy Number One), the bin Laden family would benefit so to speak because (in September 2001) they were partners of the Carlyle Group, one the World's largest asset management companies:
Waging War on The Bad Guys
Amply documented, the "Bad Guys", namely Al Qaeda and its various affiliates including ISIS-Daesh are constructs of Western intelligence (aka so-called "intelligence assets").
In recent developments, the US and Israel are threatening Iran with nuclear weapons. U.S. and NATO ground forces are being deployed in Eastern Europe on Russia's immediate doorstep. In turn, the U.S. is confronting China under the so-called "Pivot to Asia" which was launched during the Obama presidency.
The US also threatens to blow up North Korea with what is described in US military parlance as a "bloody nose operation" which consists in deploying "the more usable" low yield B61-11 mini-nukes which are tagged as "harmless to civilians because the explosion is under ground", according to scientific opinion on contract to the Pentagon.
The B61-11 tactical nuclear weapon has an explosive capacity between one third and twelve times a Hiroshima bomb.
Flashback to August 6, 1945, the first Atomic Bomb was dropped on Hiroshima. Up to 100, 000 people were killed in the first seven seconds following the explosion.
But it was "collateral damage": In the words of President Harry Truman:
The world will note that the first atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, a military base. That was because we wished in this first attack to avoid, insofar as possible, the killing of civilians.
What is at stake is a global criminal undertaking in defiance of international law. In the words of the late Nuremberg Prosecutor William Rockler:
The United States has discarded pretensions to international legality and decency, and embarked on a course of raw imperialism run amok." (William Rockler, Nuremberg Tribunal prosecutor)
We will recall that the architect of Nuremberg, Supreme Court Justice and Nuremberg Prosecutor Robert Jackson said with some hesitation:
"We must never forget that the record on which we judge these defendants is the record on which history will judge us tomorrow. To pass these defendants a poisoned chalice is to put it to our own lips as well."
Does this historical statement apply to Donald Trump, Benjamin Netanyahu and Margaret May?
In defiance of Nuremberg, the US and its allies have invoked the conduct of "humanitarian wars" and "counter-terrorism" operations, with a view to installing "democracy" in targeted countries.
And the Western media applauds. War is now routinely heralded in news reports as a peacemaking undertaking.
War becomes peace. Realities are turned upside down.
These lies and fabrications are part of of war propaganda, which also constitutes a criminal undertaking under Nuremberg.
The US-NATO led war applied Worlwide is a criminal endeavor under the disguise of "responsibility to protect" and counter-terrorism. It violates the Nuremberg Charter, the US constitution and the UN charter. According to former chief Nuremberg prosector Benjamin Ferencz, in relation to the 2003 invasion of Iraq:
"a prima facie case can be made that the United States is guilty of the supreme crime against humanity — that being an illegal war of aggression against a sovereign nation."
Ferenz was referring to "Crimes against Peace and War" (Nuremberg Principle VI): which states the following:
"The crimes hereinafter set out are punishable as crimes under international law:
(a) Crimes against peace:
(i) Planning, preparation, initiation or waging of a war of aggression or a war in violation of international treaties, agreements or assurances;
(ii) Participation in a common plan or conspiracy for the accomplishment of any of the acts mentioned under (i).
(b) War crimes:
Violations of the laws or customs of war which include, but are not limited to, murder, ill-treatment or deportation to slave labor or for any other purpose of civilian population of or in occupied territory; murder or ill-treatment of prisoners of war or persons on the Seas, killing of hostages, plunder of public or private property, wanton destruction of cities, towns, or villages, or devastation not justified by military necessity.
(c) Crimes against humanity:
Murder, extermination, enslavement, deportation and other inhumane acts done against any civilian population, or persecutions on political, racial, or religious grounds, when such acts are done or such persecutions are carried on in execution of or in connection with any crime against peace or any war crime."

CIA doctors considered using 'truth serum' on terror suspects
News, The Official Conspiracy Theory, United States No Responses »
Julian Borger in Washington
Wed 14 Nov 2018 00.37 GMT
CIA doctors considered using a "truth serum" on suspected terrorists in detention after waterboarding appeared to be ineffective and traumatic for US personnel who witnessed it, according to newly declassified documents.
The proposal to use the drug in a programme codenamed "Project Medication" was revealed in a 90-page report by a senior CIA medical officer, which was released on a judge's order to the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), after a prolonged legal battle. The ACLU published the report by the unnamed officer on Tuesday.
The idea of using drugs on US captives in the "war on terror" was recommended as "probably worth a try" by the CIA's office of medical services but dropped after the agency's counter-terrorism centre decided not to ask the Department of Justice in George W Bush's administration for a legal ruling. The department had previously provided legal memos justifying the use of torture like waterboarding and confinement in small boxes.
The CIA report, which reviews the medical office's participation in detainee operations from 2002 to 2007, shows that the agency's medical staff played a key role in interrogations in the days after the 9/11 attacks.
They took part in over 120 rendition flights, taking prisoners to secret CIA detention centres. They helped keep inmates alive and provided the appearance of medical rectitude. The CIA report notes that its doctors were "indispensable" to the effort of "legitimising the programme".
In the case of Khaled Sheikh Mohammed, the al-Qaida mastermind behind the 9/11 attacks who was waterboarded 140 times, the CIA medical officer said that the torture, which simulates the experience of drowning, "provided periodic relief from his standing sleep deprivation".

Jamal Khashoggi: Where The Road to Damascus & The Path to 9/11 Converge
Middle East, News, Professional Attention, Saudi Arabia, Saudi Arabia, Victims Families No Responses »
By Kristen Breitweiser, one of the four 9/11 widows – known as the "Jersey Girls" – instrumental in forcing the government to form the 9/11 Commission to investigate the 2001 attacks. Follow Kristen Breitweiser on Twitter: www.twitter.com/kdbreitweiser.
Road to Damascus Conversion: Derived from the Biblical story of Paul, the term "Damascus road conversion" is commonly used to refer to an abrupt about-face on a serious issue of religion, politics or philosophy. In this type of change, a single, dramatic event causes a person to become aligned with something he or she previously was against or support a position that he or she previously opposed. https://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-a-damascus-road-conversion.htm#didyouknowout
As a 9/11 widow who has spent the last 17 years fighting for accountability with regard to the 9/11 attacks that killed my husband and 3,000 others, I find the recent uproar over Jamal Khashoggi's disappearance and alleged murder interesting and out of character for many of those decrying his disappearance and demanding an investigation and accountability.
Frankly, 9/11 Family members keep a running list of all those in Washington who have proved by their past actions to be against U.S. victims of terrorism and in support of nations like the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, a nation with a long history of supporting global Wahhabist terrorism. As victims of terrorism, we are ever vigilant and watchful about all those named on our lists. We follow these folks actions, their speeches, their legislation, because we know that they are never looking out for our best interests as U.S. victims of terrorism. As a group, our institutional memory is broad and long. And we never forget.
That's why we all happened to notice the uncharacteristic behavior of so many of those on our lists with the advent of Jamal Khasoggi's disappearance. And it made us wonder why so many people, who had previously always blindly supported the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, were now so vociferously jumping Saudi ship.
What had caused this Road to Damascus conversion?
Take for example those who fought against the release of The 28 Pages of the Joint Inquiry of Congress(JICI) that detailed the Saudi role in the 9/11 attacks for fear that The 28 Pages public release might harm the Saudi's reputation and its very special relationship with the United States. A relationship, in large part, based on oil, weapons, money, and shared intelligence operations—things that have little to do with keeping American citizens safe. https://www.hsdl.org/?view&did=27164
Regarding The 28 Pages, CIA Director, John Brennan once said, "releasing a classified section of the congressional investigation into the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the United States would be a mistake. A reason to keep them under wraps is they contain "unvetted information" that some could use to unfairly implicate Saudi Arabia in the terror attacks." https://thehill.com/policy/national-security/278313-cia-director-28-pages-contains-inaccurate-information
New Book by David Ray Griffin -The American Trajectory: Divine or Demonic?
911 in Art and Literature, News, Professional Attention, United States No Responses »
"David Ray Griffin has done it again. His new book should be read as a prequel to the seminal Bush and Cheney: How They Ruined America and the World. Supported by extensive research, Griffin thoroughly debunks the myth of an American Empire as a benign, exceptionalist, divinely ordained historical agent. Instead of Manifest Destiny, what reality- based Griffin charters is the 'malign' ways of US foreign policy since the 19th century; a trajectory founded by slavery and genocide of indigenous peoples and then imperially expanded, non-stop. 'Malign' happens to be a term currently very much in vogue across the Beltway—but always to designate US competitors Russia and China. Griffin consistently challenges Beltway gospel, demonstrating that if the US had not entered WWI, there may have been no WWII. He unmasks the lies surrounding the true story of the Pearl Harbor attacks. He asks: If the US was really guided by God, how could it 'choose' to bomb Hiroshima and Nagasaki, knowing that 'the atomic bombs were not necessary to end the war?' Griffin also shows how the Cold War was actually conceptualized several years before the 1950 National Security Council paper 68 (NSC- 68). He revisits the origins of irrational hatred of Iran; the demonization of Cuba; the lies surrounding the Vietnam debacle; the false flags across Europe via Operation Gladio; the destruction of Yugoslavia; the decades-long evisceration of Iraq; and the ramifications of the Full Spectrum Dominance doctrine. This sharp, concise history of the American Empire ultimately demonstrates, in Griffin's analysis, the 'fraud' of endorsing self- praising American Exceptionalism. A must read." —Pepe Escobar, Asia Times/Hong Kong

TRANSCRIPT AND MP3: https://www.corbettreport.com/911warg…
Little did we know at the time, 9/11 was not a normal day of blue sky aviation. On the contrary, it was one of the busiest days in the history of American aviation, a dense forest of live fly exercises, drills, simulations, fake radar injects and utter confusion. And that was before the attacks even began. This is the story of 9/11 that you didn't watch unfold on your TV that fateful day in 2001. This is the story of the 9/11 War Games.

9/11 Unmasked – New Book by David Ray Griffin and Elizabeth Woodworth
New book by David Ray Griffin and Elizabeth Woodworth due to be released on September 11, 2018.
A panel of experts highlight the problems with all major claims of the official account of the 9/11 attacks.
Many Americans have been embarrassed by the Trump presidency. But Americans should also be embarrassed by the fact that this country's foreign policy since 2001, which has resulted in millions of deaths, has been based on a complex deception.
9/11 Unmasked is the result of a six-year investigation by an international review panel, which has provided 51 points illustrating the problematic status of all the major claims in the official account of the 9/11 attacks, some of which are obviously false. Most dramatically, the official account of the destruction of the Twin Towers and World Trade Center 7 could not possibly be true, unless the laws of physics were suspended that day. But other claims made by the official account including the claims that the 9/11 planes were taken over by al-Qaeda hijackers, that one of those hijackers flew his plane into the Pentagon, and that passengers on the planes telephoned people on the ground are also demonstrably false.
The book reports only points about which the panel reached consensus by using the best-evidence consensus model employed in medical research. The panel is composed of experts about 9/11 from many disciplines, including physics, chemistry, structural engineering, aeronautical engineering, and jurisprudence.

Sandy Dougherty was named the Decatur County Hospital 2018 DAISY award winner on Friday, May 11. Sandy was nominated by 2 different staff members and is very deserving of the award. She goes above and beyond for her patients and their families. Sandy will also be honored at Mercy Medical Center in Des Moines on June 15th. Sandy has been an RN at DCH since 2001. She works in Med/Surg and the ER. She lives in Leon.
Sandy Dougherty was nominated by two different staff members. Both nominations reflected her extraordinary care and compassion.
Sandy is a true example of extraordinary nursing. She is what the DAISY award is about. The DAISY Foundation was established in 1999 by the family of J. Patrick Barnes. Patrick died at the age of 33 from complications of Idiopathic Thrombocytopenia Purpura (ITP), thus giving name to the award "Diseases Attacking the Immune System" DAISY. Patrick's family was completely awestruck by the care and compassion that they and Patrick were shown during his 8 week illness that they wanted to say THANK YOU to nurses.
In Patrick's Honor, the DAISY Award is now in over 2,400+ healthcare facilities in all 50 states, and in 15 different countries, all of whom are committed to honoring their nurses with The DAISY Award. Each year, one nurse at Decatur County Hospital is honored with this award.


The EU's chief negotiator has insisted actual progress on Britain's divorce bill, citizens' rights and the Irish border is "essential" before discussing a transitional deal. Healthcare – the UK wants to maintain the European health insurance card (EHIC) providing British nationals free or low-price state-offered healthcare in Europe. YOU guys did not get to vote within the EU referendum, which is why we decided to present the nation's youth a voice and an opportunity to create the Kids's Charter For Brexit. Following residents' rights, the subsequent priority can be Britain's 'divorce invoice' earlier than moving on to different points to ascertain a good deal" on a brand new robust and particular partnership".
Following the EU referendum, there have been several opinion polls on the query of whether or not the UK was "proper" or "wrong" to vote to go away the EU. The outcomes of those polls are shown in the desk below. A Brexit, or British exit, is what's going to occur now that the individuals of Britain have voted for the UK to leave the European Union. In total, 750,000 jobs in Germany rely on export to Britain, while on the British aspect about three million jobs rely upon export to the EU. The research emphasises nevertheless that the predictions on the financial effects of a Brexit are subject to significant uncertainty.
27 In 1985 the Thatcher authorities ratified the Single European Act —the primary main revision to the Treaty of Rome – with out a referendum. If Britain is unable to secure a withdrawal agreement in time for the day the UK leaves the EU, this might potentially go away citizens on either side in limbo concerning their rights. Even before it has occurred, Brexit is lowering Britain's power in Europe and so our standing on the planet.
The president of the European parliament, Antonio Tajani, accused Theresa Might of being 'unrealistic' and said the divorce invoice needs to be round 60billion euros. European Union adviser Stefaan De Rynck said the EU is 'preparing' for a no deal Brexit but that's 'not a scenario' it wants. Davis revealed the federal government plans to set out the UK's offer" for guaranteeing the rights of EU citizens on Monday twenty sixth June.
With Brexit negotiations thought of to be not on time – and deadlocked in some key areas, together with the 'divorce invoice' – there may be much speculation a few 'no deal' situation. Martin Selmayr, the German Chief of Workers to Jean-Claude Juncker, is understood for both his dedication to creating a European superstate, and the fear he wields to make this a reality.

Q: elasticsearchrepository saves null values in fields I'm trying to make a simple project with spring boot + spring data + elasticsearch. For now I'm trying to save a document manually in elasticsearch however the "save" method only creates an empty document with null fields and only an id. What am I missing here?
I'm using elasticsearch version 2.4.6 and spring-boot-starter-parent version 1.5.9
here is elasticsearch config
@Configuration
@EnableElasticsearchRepositories(basePackages = "com.hellokoding.springboot.Article.repository")
public class EsConfig {

@Value("${elasticsearch.host}")
private String EsHost;

@Value("${elasticsearch.port}")
private int EsPort;

@Value("${elasticsearch.clustername}")
private String EsClusterName;

@Bean
public Client client() throws Exception {

    Settings esSettings = Settings.settingsBuilder()
            .put("cluster.name", EsClusterName)
            .build();

    //https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/guide/current/_transport_client_versus_node_client.html
    return TransportClient.builder()
            .settings(esSettings)
            .build()
            .addTransportAddress(new InetSocketTransportAddress(InetAddress.getByName(EsHost), EsPort));
}

@Bean
public ElasticsearchOperations elasticsearchTemplate() throws Exception {
    return new ElasticsearchTemplate(client());
}
}

the document class, I tried using @Field but nothing changed, I tried to make my index mapping as simple as possible but again, nothing :(
@Document(indexName = "library", type = "articles")
public class Article {

@Id
private String id;

//@Field(type = FieldType.String)
private String title;

//@Field(type = FieldType.String, index = FieldIndex.not_analyzed)
private String author;

//@Field(type = FieldType.Integer, index = FieldIndex.not_analyzed)
private int year;

//@Field(type = FieldType.String, index = FieldIndex.not_analyzed)
private String isbn;

//@Field(type = FieldType.String, index = FieldIndex.not_analyzed)
private String publisher;

//@Field(type = FieldType.String)
private String pub_type;

//@Field(type = FieldType.String)
private String abstrct;

//@Field(type = FieldType.String)
private String tags;

public Article() {
}

public Article(String title, String author, int year, String isbn, String publisher, String pub_type, String articleAbstract, String tags) {
    this.title = title;
    this.author = author;
    this.year = year;
    this.isbn = isbn;
    this.publisher = publisher;
    this.pub_type = pub_type;
    this.abstrct = articleAbstract;
    this.tags = tags;
}

elasticsearch repository interface
@Repository
public interface ArticleRepository extends ElasticsearchRepository<Article, String> {

Page<Article> findByAuthor(String author, Pageable pageable);

List<Article> findByTitle(String title);

}

a service class
@Service
public class ArticleServiceImpl implements ArticleService {

@Autowired
private ArticleRepository articleRepository;

public void setBookRepository(ArticleRepository articleRepository) {
    this.articleRepository = articleRepository;
}

public Article save(Article article) {
    return articleRepository.save(article);
}
}

the application class
@SpringBootApplication
public class WebApplication extends SpringBootServletInitializer
{
   @Override
protected SpringApplicationBuilder configure(SpringApplicationBuilder application) {
    return application.sources(WebApplication.class);
}

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
    SpringApplication.run(WebApplication.class, args);
}
}

I tried adding the @EnableElasticsearchRepositories configuration but didn't change a thing
and finally here is a controller where I save the document, I know it doesn't seem practical but now I just want to save a document and later on complete the jsps and etc.
@Controller
public class HelloController {

@Autowired
private ArticleServiceImpl articleServiceImpl;

@RequestMapping("/insert")
public String insert() {

    String title = "a title";

    String author = "sheldon cooper";

    String isbn = "an isbn";

    String publisher = "that publisher";

    String pub_type = "book";

    String articleAbstract = "this is an abstract";

    String tags = "big bang theory";

    Article article = new Article(title, author, 2020, isbn, publisher, pub_type, articleAbstract, tags);
    articleServiceImpl.save(article);

    return "hello";
}
}

so when I try to save it no errors occur and a new document is added to elasticsearch however this is what is indexed when I run a match_all
{
"_index": "library",
"_type": "articles",
"_id": "AWYCh2clu71V92oy9KTB",
"_score": 1,
"_source":{
}
}

why none of the field values are saved?
thanks in advance :)

A: add getters and setters to your entity class, or annotate fields with Jackson @JsonProperty annotation

Abramovich invites Mourinho to dinner after Stamford Bridge showdown
Samiran Mishra
Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich has invited his former employee and Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho to dinner after the two sides meet at Stamford Bridge on Sunday.
Mourinho would be hoping for a positive result at his former stomping ground this time around after last season's 4-0 drubbing. The former Real Madrid and Inter Milan manager took charge of Chelsea on two separate spells, winning three Premier League titles, three League Cups and an FA Cup. According to the Sun, Mourinho has accepted an invitation from his former boss to have dinner.
The United boss has previously stated that he and Abramovich were never friends. "He [Abramovich] was never my friend. We always had the relationship of owner-manager," he said.
"[We had a] very respectful relationship. But we were never close to each other."
United are five points behind league leaders Manchester City who themselves are in action tonight against Arsenal at the Etihad Stadium. Chelsea meanwhile are even further behind with nine points separating them from Pep Guardiola's side.
Antonio Conte's men suffered a 3-0 defeat at the hands of AS Roma in a UEFA Champions League group stage clash last week and will be looking to bounce back in what is expected to be a mouth watering tie.

Local Organizations Host "Every 15 Minutes" Program at Rangeview High School
UPDATE: The second day of the event being held on Friday, April 27 has been cancelled due to the closure of all Aurora Public Schools. The video will be presented to Junior and Seniors in their classrooms next week.
Information Previously Released on April 22, 2018
Two-day simulation to educate students on the dangers of drinking and driving
WHO: Aurora Police Department (PIO: Kenneth Forrest 720-432-5095)
Aurora Public Schools, Rangeview High School (PIO: Corey Christiansen 303-326-2755)
City of Aurora Courts and Detention Center (PIO: Michael Bryant 303-739-7181)
Medical Center of Aurora (PIO: Laura Stephens 303-873-5699)
Aurora Fire Rescue (PIO: Tony Krenz 720-477-0315)
Falck Ambulance
Arapahoe County Coroner
Health One Air Life
WHAT: The "Every 15 Minutes" Program is a two-day event that brings together high school juniors and seniors and challenges them to think about the consequences of drinking and driving. The program also educates students on personal safety, responsible and mature decision making and the impact their decisions can have on family, friends, the community and their futures. Students work with local organizations and family members to craft a scenario to act out in front of peers and role play the consequences of their decisions and actions.
WHEN: Thursday, April 26
(Please arrive at 11:30 a.m. to set-up before the crash scene begins at 12 p.m.)
WHY: Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for teens in the U.S., more than homicide and suicide combined. There are at least 60 traffic fatalities in Colorado every year that can be attributed to distracted driving. Alcohol-related collisions are the leading cause of death among teenage youth.
The Aurora Police Department and Aurora Public Schools are partnering with Rangeview High School to host the "Every 15 Minutes" program in Aurora Colorado. The event brings together community leaders including the City of Aurora, Medical Center of Aurora, Aurora Fire Rescue, City of Aurora Courts and Detention Center, Arapahoe County Coroner, Health One Air Life and Falck Ambulance to take a proactive step in educating local high school students about making mature decisions when alcohol and drugs are involved.
Additional Information and Media Opportunity:
Media is welcome to attend the crash scene that will be simulated on April 26 at 12 p.m. There will be a designated area for media to set up, as there will be many moving components during the scenario (arrival of patrol cars, fire trucks, ambulances and a helicopter).

Burglary Suspect Dies at a Local Hospital
This morning on April 21, 2018 at approximately 2:34 A.M., Aurora Police Officers responded to an automotive repair shop, located at 9230 East Colfax Avenue. Officers responded to this location on the report of a burglary in-progress, where a suspect was observed inside the business by live-feed security cameras.
As officers arrived, they observed an adult male suspect inside of the business. The officers could see that the male was suffering from apparent injuries. Officers entered the business and found the male to be armed with a lethal cutting instrument. In the presence of Officers, the male began to inflict injury to himself with the cutting instrument. As Officers approached the male, who was still armed with the cutting instrument, officers gave verbal orders and attempted to de-escalate the situation. The suspect then threatened officers with the weapon and officers responded by utilizing less lethal options that were available. These less lethal options proved to be ineffective and the suspect then resumed inflicting injuries to himself. The suspect then retreated and barricaded himself in another room inside of the business. In this room, Officers ultimately found the male to be unresponsive. He was transported to an area hospital where he was pronounced deceased.
During this incident, Officers showed great restraint and no duty weapons were fired. Because of the nature of the circumstances and because officers used less lethal force, the Aurora Police Department's Major Crimes/Homicide Unit responded to resume the investigation. Per Colorado Senate Bill 217, the Denver Police Department also responded to assist our Detectives in their efforts.
The Arapahoe County Coroner's Office will conduct an autopsy of the male to determine the manner in which he died. The Coroner will also identify the decedent pending positive identification and the notification of next of kin.
If anybody has information relating to this incident, please contact Detective Warren Miller at (303) 739-6117.
The investigation is in on-going and in its early stages and therefore no further information is available.

Aurora Police Department Investigates OIS at North Chambers Road and East Smith Road
The press conference on this matter can be viewed by clicking the YouTube link below:
https://youtu.be/B5aNrLuJ5TU
In response to the incident that occurred last evening wherein an Aurora Police Officer was involved in a shooting with a suspect, Chief Nick Metz remarked to the suspect's family, "Incidents like this are tragic on both sides of the spectrum. Our thoughts are with you [suspect's family] and we will continue to offer support throughout the investigative process."
Today during a news conference with media outlets, Chief of Police Nick Metz and Lieutenant Hershel Stowell with the Major Crimes/Homicide Unit addressed the public in providing additional information pertaining to last evening's officer-involved shooting. A clearer picture of what occurred was relayed as follows:
At approximately 8:00 P.M. on April 9, 2018 a suspect was located inside a taxi cab near the Crossland Hotel located near East 38th Avenue and North Chambers Road. The said suspect, an adult male, was wanted by police in the City of Federal Heights for Attempt Murder involving a firearm. That incident occurred just a day prior on April 8, 2018. Having this information, members of the APD's Strategic Response Team (SRT) and the Fugitive Apprehension and Surveillance Team (FAST) began actively attempting to locate the suspect, as he was believed to pose a serious threat to the community.
These officers had information that the suspect was in a taxi cab as a passenger. The suspect would not allow the driver of the taxi cab to exit the cab and ordered the driver at gunpoint to keep driving. The driver of the taxi cab came to a stop at a red light at East Smith Road and North Chambers Road. The driver fled the taxi leaving the wanted subject in the backseat, where he was now the sole occupant of the vehicle.
Officers from SRT, who were in unmarked vehicles, were adjacent to the taxi when it stopped for the red light. Upon seeing the taxi driver flee from the vehicle, they recognized an opportunity to take the subject into custody with minimal danger to the general public. As officers moved up to the vehicle to take the suspect into custody, shots were fired. Prior to shots being fired, warnings were given by officers. From the course of the investigation, it appears that the suspect fired at officers. The suspect was found to be armed with a handgun.
The suspect sustained injuries at the scene and immediately received medical treatment from an Aurora SWAT paramedic who was at the scene. The suspect was transported to an area hospital where he remains in serious condition as of the writing of this news release.
One officer, a 26-year law enforcement veteran, was placed on paid administrative leave after firing his weapon. This is the officer's first officer-involved shooting.
Due to the nature of the multiple on-going criminal investigations, the suspect's identity is not being released at this time and no further information is available for public release.
Anyone who might have witnessed this incident is asked to contact Detective Heath Graw with the Major Crimes/Homicide Unit at (303) 739-6213.
WHEN: Tuesday April 10, 2018, 3:15 p.m. (Media please arrive no later than 3:00 p.m.)
CONTACT: Sergeant Chris Neiman, Public Information Officer for the Aurora Police Department
On Monday April 9th, 2018 at approximately 8:00 pm officers with the Aurora Police Department received information that a wanted adult male suspect known to be armed and dangerous was in a vehicle near the intersection of North Chambers Road and East Smith Road. The suspect was wanted for serious crimes committed in the jurisdictions of Federal Heights and Aurora. Members of the Strategic Response Team attempted to apprehend the suspect when shots were fired.
No officers were injured during this incident. The suspect was transported to a local hospital with serious injuries. The identity of the suspect is not being released at this time.
The officer/officers involved will be placed on paid administrative leave pending the outcome of the investigation. The investigation is being handled by the Major Crimes/Homicide Unit in conjunction with the Denver Police Department. North Chambers Road will be closed in both directions for an undetermined amount of time between East 32nd Ave and East Smith Road while the scene is being processed by investigators.
Anyone who might have witnessed this incident is asked to contact Detective Heath Graw with the Major Crimes/Homicide Unit at 303.739.6213.

Two Parties Shot, One Party Dies in Shooting Incident
UPDATE: Jospeh Lugo (DOB 09/19/1978) has been arrested in connection with the homicide and shooting that occurred on March 20, 2018 at 1097 S. Evanston Way.
This incident remains an active investigation. If you have any information in regards to this incident, please contact Detective Doug Kasten at (303) 739-6107.
Information previously released on March 20, 2018
A suspect has been identified in the shooting that left a 21-year-old man dead in Aurora on March 20, 2018. Joseph Goudy Lugo (DOB 09/19/1978) is wanted on charges of First Degree Murder for shooting two victims outside of an apartment building located at 1097 S. Evanston Way, on March 20, 2018, at about 8:15 A.M. Lugo is 5'9", 245 lbs., with long black hair, brown eyes, a tattoo of a name on the left front of his forehead and smaller tattoos (also names) on his left and right temples. Potros Mabany (DOB 8/13/1996) has been identified by the Arapahoe County Coroner's Office as the 21-year-old who was killed in yesterday's shooting. The other adult male, who was also shot at the aforementioned location and fled to a nearby 7 Eleven, has since been released from an area hospital.
We depend on the Aurora community to be an integral part of combating crime, as the community employs thousands of eyes and ears that are not those of police officers. The Aurora Police Department is therefore asking the public for assistance in locating Lugo because his whereabouts are currently unknown. Lugo should be considered armed and incredibly dangerous. If any member of the public sees Lugo, please call 911 immediately and do not approach him. Tipsters can also remain anonymous and be eligible for a cash reward of up to $2,000 by calling Metro Denver Crime Stoppers at (720) 913-7867.
There have been some questions as to why the Aurora Police Department did not initially release the identity of Lugo. We would like to remind the public that protecting the integrity of active investigations remains a priority and is paramount to successfully solving criminal cases. We also want to reiterate that the safety of the public is at the core of our very mission and is a great consideration throughout investigations where suspects are at-large. Often times, identifying suspects prematurely can send dangerous criminals on the run and can give them a desperate edge. We thank the public for their patience and we want to ensure you that there is much work being done behind the scenes that is aimed at getting dangerous criminals off the street and bring justice to victims.
On March 20, 2018 at approximately 08:15 a.m., Aurora Police Officers responded to the area E. Mississippi Ave. and S. Sable Blvd. on the report of a shooting.
Upon arrival to the area, it was learned that two adult male victims were suffering from apparent gunshot wounds in the area. One male victim was outside of an apartment building at 1097 S. Evanston Way and the other male victim had arrived at the 7 Eleven located at 14593 E Mississippi Ave. It is believed that both men were shot at 1097 S. Evanston Way and then one of the males walked to 7 Eleven on foot after being shot.
Both males were transported to an area hospital. The male who was located at 7 Eleven is in stable condition while the other victim, who was located at 1097 S. Evanston Way, was pronounced deceased. Out of an abundance of caution, Gateway High School was placed on lockdown when officers initially responded to the report of a shooting, due to the geographical proximity of the school. It has been determined that this shooting has no nexus to Gateway High School and no parties involved were Gateway High School Students.
The Aurora Major Crimes/ Homicide Unit responded to the location to resume the criminal investigation. Detectives are working diligently to identify who is responsible for the shooting. We are asking members of the public to come forward with any information pertaining to this incident. Members of the public should report any known information to Detective Doug Kasten at (303) 739-6107. Tipsters can also remain anonymous and be eligible for a cash reward of up to $2,000 by calling Metro Denver Crime Stoppers at (720) 913-7867.
The deceased victim will be identified by the Arapahoe County Coroner's Office at a later date, pending the notification of next of kin. There is no further information available for public release at this time.

Archived from the original on February 19, Rated 5 out bame 5 by TracyMcGarey from One of my favourite match three games This game is somewhat different from other match three games and is very enjoyable.
I played it in both the time and untimed modes, and personally found the untimed to be more enjoyable as I would often run out of time on the harder levels, which became a little frustrating.
As you cannot change mode half way through I decided to start again and choose the untimed option. Rebuilding the town's houses was an entertaining diversion but the hidden object and puzzle parts of the game I felt added nothing at all to the gameplay - indeed I would have preferred not to have had those parts of the game as I found them tedious and boring. The puzzle element at the end of rebuilding each house in the spiders lair was particularly entertaining and enjoyable.
I would like to have seen a freeplay option, so that I could play the match three element of the game without the story and with more difficult and challenging boards.
This is the third game in the series and is by far the best, though there was one thing I missed from the second in the series - the scoreboard showing the number of moves taken to complete a board when playing in untimed mode. I often enjoy records like this so that I can attempt to beat my own previous best score, and it is this kind of thing which keeps me returning to play the game.
On a technical note, I did notice that sometimes the wide screen option did not work and the game did not fill the screen. About half way through, for no apparent reason, this suddenly corrected itself and from then on I had no more display problems. All in all, this is a very entertaining little game, perfect for winding down and relaxing in the evening, and for this purpose I would highly recommend it. Rated 5 out of 5 by pootska from Rainbow Web 3 Great Game! Loved It! Once you have completed all the levels and the game is done you can't restart to see if you can do better.
Wish you could!
Rated 5 out of 5 by Tukiki from Untangling the web Great game that offers a variation on the previous Rainbow games that improves the game, such as; many more different types of web designs for a greater challenge, good puzzles, good challenges at the spider's main cave. Downloac am still addicted to this game. I finished the game and then started all over again. As the game goes from one challenge to the next, it only provides a variety of challenges that keeps one gaje.
I can hardly wait for Rainbow Web 4, if there is going to be one.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Adge1 from Best Match 3! I usually go for Adventure and Hidden Objects. I do enjoy some Match-3 games. This is definitely among the best! Not a typical Match Simple enough but challenge is raised as one progresses. Music is relaxing. Love that there is no timer. Somewhat challenging, but relaxing, at the same time.
Love it! Rated 5 out of 5 by Popsicle7 from Relaxing and gorgeous mental escapism! The music in this game is beautiful; a fere monotonous at times, but it's so relaxing. The graphics are so pretty! I love imagining I live in such places as portrayed in fantastical games such as this one; it's a good way to mentally escape the hectic and often challenging real world we live in. There is no time limit and hints can be disabled.
Great game for both adult and kids! Much better than RW 2 no timer!!! I have played it through at least 4 times and it doesn't get old like some games do. A good way to relax an unwind after a hard day. The Big Fish Guarantee: Quality tested and virus free. I also just enjoy how absurd fgee whole experience was haha :.
I think I may be mentally illthe whole time i was playing the gamei listened to a 10 hour loop of the wii shop theme. This majing one of the few games that made my throat feel my heartbeat like this is hella scary. I'm sorry that I can't complete this game. I got to the debug mode part. This game demonsters that you don't need down,oad to scare people, just a good aesthetic.
When you goto log onto your PC, what ever name you have as your Username for that windows profile, it will have used. Mines just called admin, so it called me admin at the end. The Open House. Run game.
