Time to Take UFOs Seriously?
Since shortly after Project Blue Book was ordered closed in 1969, the U.S. government has officially ignored claims of UFO sightings, but an international group of former military officers and government officials says it’s time to take the potential national security threat seriously.
There was once a time when the Air Force looked into thousands of sightings, but the military has for years said it sees no need to resume its investigations.
Wait, before you go…
The group, which includes former military officers from seven countries, all say they have seen a UFO or have conducted research into the phenomenon.
However, the Air Force says nothing has happened in the past four decades to justify resuming investigations.
Every year thousands of people say they have seen UFOs in the United States and their claims are usually met with scepticism.

Centre cautions states against 'wastages' in public health system
The Government today cautioned states against "wastages" in public health system and asked them to increase their health spending "significantly".
New Delhi: The Government today cautioned states against "wastages" in public health system and asked them to increase their health spending "significantly".
Emphasising that one of the key areas of concern was quality of healthcare in public health system, Union Health Minister J P Nadda said that healthcare needs to be patient centric where "dignity" of the patient is also respected.
Nadda said that the Centre was committed to "cooperative federalism" and it will work with the states as "true partner" and support them financially and technically to strengthen their health systems.
"The states must increase their healthcare spending as the government also tries to supplement their efforts," he said during the second meeting of the Mission Steering Group (MSG) of National Health Mission (NHP).
"The health minister also cautioned the states against wastages in public health system while stressing the need for collective effort to improve the efficiencies," a Health Ministry statement said.
Nadda said that decentralisation lies at the heart of the health sector reform process under NHM as also a consciousness that the principles of federalism and "subsidiary are paramount".
"The government is committed to the concept of cooperative federalism wherein the Centre will work with the state governments as true partners and support them financially and technically to strengthen their health systems," he said.
Nadda noted that the National Rural Health Mission (NRHM) and the National Urban Health Mission (NUHM) form the basis of the Ministry's effort at health system reform.
He also hoped that in implementing NUHM, the states would incorporate learnings from NRHM, to rapidly scale up implementation.
"While we will continue to strengthen the NHM approaches, there will be shift in emphasis based on our learning from various evaluations and Common Review Missions," he said.
Urban Development minister Venkaiah Naidu, Women and Child Development Minister Maneka Sanjay Gandhi, HRD Minister Smriti Zubin Irani, Social Justice and Empowerment Minister Thawar Chand Gehlot, Minister of AYUSH Shripad Yesso Naik were also present during the meeting. Nadda said that providing assured and comprehensive
health services will be the foremost priority of the Ministry.

He said that the Ministry proposes to give a major thrust to improving quality of healthcare in public facilities.
Nadda assured the members of the Steering Group that their valuable suggestions to further enrich and strengthen the NHM will be discussed and incorporated.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (KNWA/KFTA) — Economic experts say every business has been impacted by the coronavirus pandemic. Even with different industries starting to open back up, they estimate it’s going to be a long while before things get back to pre-pandemic status.
Director of economic vitality for the city of Fayetteville, Devin Howland, said some industries have been hit harder than others, including food industries, cosmetology, and even healthcare.
Many industries have made adjustments to stay afloat, but still are not making as much as in the past.
Howland said looking at the economy over the next several years, it’s not just a matter of businesses being able to make sales, but considering if people will even be comfortable patronizing them.
This is especially important to consider since many industries are connected in ways people don’t think about.
“The performing arts is a great example,” Howland said. “If the virus subsided in one area and you have a traveling show, if that show can’t hit Chicago and these other big cities, are they going to come to these smaller places? No.”
Almost 44 million people have applied for unemployment benefits since the pandemic started, with more applications coming in even as the country reopens.
Howland said many of the people most impacted by the virus were already in lower wage jobs, adding it’s likely a lot of those jobs won’t come back for a long time, if ever.
Re-skilling will be a priority according to Howland, which will include determining which industries are looking for workers and building the skills needed to work in them.
“We’re going to continue to see innovations in education,” Howland said. “We’re going to continue to see different offerings, whether they be more short term education programs that lead to credentials. That was already something that was happening across the state and across the country that’s becoming more and more popular.”
Howland also stressed it’s important to know the city offers workforce resources for those that need it.

SULAIMANI (ESTA) — U.S. President Donald Trump appeared on Sunday to publicly acknowledge for the first time that his Democratic rival Joe Biden won the Nov. 3 U.S. presidential election, but reiterated his false claims that the vote was rigged.
“He won because the Election was Rigged,” Trump tweeted.
Trump had yet to concede the election to Biden who was called as the winner Nov. 7 after enough state results came in to hand the former Democratic vice president victory, according to Reuters.
Biden has won 306 votes in the state-by-state Electoral College system that determines the presidential winner, according to Edison Research, far more than the 270 needed.
Instead, Trump has spent his days with few public events and pressed unsubstantiated allegations of fraud on social media.
The U.S. President has also stalled the government’s normal process of preparing for a new presidential administration, which both Democrats and some Republican have said has serious national security implications.
Trump’s campaign team and Republicans have also sought to press their case in court in key battleground states, but have been widely rejected.
Meanwhile, Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris have moved forward with their transition efforts, including briefings on the COVID-19 outbreak.

Lawmakers are poised to pass a budget this week which will cut the state’s health care program for low-income people. Governor Scott Walker’s decision to turn down millions in federal money to expand BadgerCare here in Wisconsin means thousands of state residents will be forced into the exchanges established under Obamacare, according to AARP.
“The federal government also funds the exchanges, and in fact it’s more expensive for the federal taxpayer to put a person on the exchanges than it is to put them on the MA program,” said Helen Marks Dicks with AARP in Wisconsin.
Dicks said that doesn’t bode well, despite assertions by the state Department of Health Services. “The Legislative Fiscal Bureau has indicated they think the department is being overly optimistic in the number of people who will actually end up with insurance under the governor’s plan.”
Dicks said the only certainty going forward is that 89,000 people will be forced off BadgerCare and will be uninsured unless they can quickly purchase insurance through the exchanges.

NATO Chief Urges Long-Term Military Support for Ukraine
(MENAFN) NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg has called on foreign backers of Ukraine to be prepared to maintain their military support for a long time. Stoltenberg noted that Ukraine’s expenditure of munitions in its conflict with Russia has outpaced the production capacity of the nations arming Kiev, and urged members of the US-led bloc to increase their military spending to sustain the war effort. He also claimed that Russia is running low on weapons and seeking arms from other nations, including Iran and North Korea.
Stoltenberg criticized Beijing’s attempt to mediate in the conflict and broker a peace agreement, saying China needs to engage with Ukrainian President Zelenskiy directly and understand Ukraine’s perspectives. His comments come after German Chancellor Olaf Scholz also warned that the conflict could last a long time.
Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has also predicted a drawn-out conflict, but blamed Western nations for the hostilities. He claimed that the “Anglosaxon world” cannot tolerate a sovereign Russia whose policies it can no longer influence, and that the Western goal is to split Russia into smaller pieces which could then be demilitarized and exploited.
The ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia highlights the complex and volatile geopolitical landscape in the region, and the potential for lasting consequences for both countries and their foreign backers. As the situation continues to evolve, it will be important for all parties to prioritize dialogue, diplomacy, and a peaceful resolution to the conflict.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The City Rescue Mission is seeing an influx of people amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Penny Kievet, the executive director of the City Rescue Mission, said as restaurants and other eateries are closing to slow the spread of the coronavirus, which means food donations from those restaurants to local shelters will also diminish.
And just like many people have prepared their homes for the pandemic, the City Rescue Mission has also tried to stock up on cleaning supplies, such as bleach, and plenty of hand sanitizer.
Notes posted throughout its campuses remind employees to wash their hands, stressing how serious the spread of coronavirus is.
But Kievet said they could use more help keeping things clean -- from stacks of children’s book to dozens of beds.
“Last night, we had 302 people that slept with us, and we had over a thousand meals that were served,” Kievet said.
Kievet said that while the facility is privately funded, it still relies on the public for donations to help them help people in need.
“The one thing that we’ve seen is that spike that’s come about as a result of more and more homeless and addicted people who are trying to find shelter so that they can stay safe,” Kievet said.
As people who need food and shelter come in, Kievet said that they check body temperatures and for virus symptoms. So far, she said, no one has been sick with COVID-19 at their facilities.
To keep it that way, they’re asking for bleach, sanitizing wipes, plastic gloves and nonperishable foods. They’re even asking for frozen meat and, of course, cash.
There is one item that Kievet said they don’t need.
“We’re good with toilet paper,” she said. "I’m still trying to figure that one out.”
Kievet said the need will continue to rise as people in need run out of options for food. Instead of the 1,000 people who they served Monday, Kievet said that she believes that number could reach 1,500 by the weekend.

Chandigarh, Sep 2, 2020 –
While condemning the toll rate hike in Haryana, senior Congress leader Randeep Surjewala on Wednesday urged the state government to immediately roll back the toll hike.
Surjewala said the toll rates have been increased by the government for the second time during the Covid-19 pandemic, which showed the government’s insensitivity to the people.
On the one hand, people of the country and the state are facing the economic recession and on the other instead of providing some relief to the people, the government is rubbing salt into their wounds by issuing such “Tughlaqi firmans”.
The Congress chief spokesperson reminded that heavy tax is levied by the state on the road tax on the purchase of new vehicles and it is also a matter of record that the Khattar government has been repeatedly increasing VAT on petrol and diesel for the last six years.
He described the hike as “insensitive and the third blow to the people, who are already bearing the brunt of coronavirus, lockdown and economic slowdown”.
Surjewala said there are 32 national highways and three national expressways with a total length of 3,531 km in Haryana, which enables every district to be connected to some national highway.
Often, one has to use national highways to go from one district to the other. In such a situation, the toll rate hike on national highways would increase inflation and directly affect transporters and a large number of people using private vehicles, Surjewala added. (Agency)
