[ICE] CHICAGO ‐ An Illinois registered sex offender was sentenced March 23 to 56 years in state prison on multiple counts of child sexual assault and production of child pornography.
This case was investigated by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and the Boone County (Illinois) Sheriff’s Office.
Tyler McIntosh, 29, of Belvidere, Illinois, was sentenced in Boone County, Illinois to 56 years in state prison after he pleaded guilty to two counts of predatory criminal sexual assault of a child, and four counts of child pornography.
[SanDiegoUnionTribune] About a month after the first large-scale immigration arrest operation in San Diego under the Trump administration rounded up 115 people, officers took another 44 into custody in a second week-long enforcement effort that ended Friday.
The news release about the operation said that offenses of those arrested who had criminal histories included vandalism, hit and run, larceny, DUI and various drug offenses.
The release detailed four cases of Mexican men who were arrested.
One had a conviction for possession for sale of heroin and was previously deported. After his April arrest by ICE, he was turned over to the U.S. Marshals Service for prosecution for illegal reentry.
The other three had pending DUI charges, and two of them were released from county jail instead of being turned over to ICE, according to the release.
One of those three men also had a pending contempt of court charge, and another had a pending possession of a controlled substance charge. Both are in ICE custody waiting to see immigration judges.
The third man had previously been deported from the U.S. and was taken back to Mexico on the same day that he was arrested under that prior removal order.
ICE officers arrested people across the county in Santee, Vista, Encinitas, Chula Vista, Escondido, Oceanside, San Diego and Imperial Beach. Those arrested included people from Mexico and Guatemala, according to Mack.

[Mail] This is the incredible man who has a mind-bending ability to speak and sing backwards, stunning passersby with his amazing skill.
John Sevier Austin, from North Carolina, took to the streets to show off his talent, recording himself saying a phrase backwards, then playing it in rewind to hear the words normally.
One passerby exclaimed: 'How does your brain work?!' after John performed his trick during the fascinating video.
Growing up, he always knew he was different and struggled to relate to those around him, but it wasn't until recently that he found out he had Asperger's syndrome.

[GREATERKASHMIR] A senior doctor at a Delhi government-run hospital, a dedicated facility for providing critical trauma services, wrongly performed a procedure on the leg of a patient who was admitted there with a head injury.
The negligence happened as the doctor, a senior resident at Sushruta Trauma Centre in Civil Lines area, mistook the patient with head injury for another patient admitted there with a fractured leg.
On Thursday, the doctor made a hole on the patient’s right leg to put a pin inside. The patient was admitted to the hospital with injuries on his head and face following an accident.
"As the senior resident performed the procedure on the patient after putting him on anaesthesia, the patient could not realise or object to it," said Ajay Bahl, medical superintendent at the hospital.
After the negligence was brought to the attention of the authorities, a corrective procedure was done on the patient.
The doctor has been barred from conducting surgeries without supervision after a hospital panel found him at fault.
"A committee constituted to look into the matter found the senior resident was at fault. He has been barred from conducting surgeries without supervision with immediate effect," Bahl added.

The doc amputated a leg when he meant to cut off the head.

When I had knee arthoscopic surgery 25 years ago I had a spinal anesthetic and so was able to prevent the surgery techs from preparing the WRONG leg for the orthopod to work on.

[MIDDLEEASTMONITOR] A lightning strike has killed a newlywed couple in Ari-addays village, some 30 kilometres south of Abudwaq town of Galgaduud, Halbeeg reported today.
"The two were at home when the incident occurred. No one else was living with them, there was heavy rain accompanied by thunderstorms, lightning struck them," a relative told Halbeeg.
Heavy rain began to fall in the first week of March, with southern and central regions of Somalia flooding in April. The Juba and Shebelle region in Somalia was only hit by moderate rain, according to the Somalia Water and Land Information Management (SWALIM) unit.
According to Relief Web, rain this year has negatively impacted the humanitarian condition in Somalia, causing overcrowding in temporary shelters housing internally displaced persons. The Shebelle River is expected to rise from the rain, with some 200,000 Somalis at risk of flooding in Belet Weyne town.
Despite an uptick of rain fall Somali farmers have reportedly started working on their crops early, in a bid to take advantage of the opportunity for cultivation.
In February this year some 38 Somalis died from severe drought conditions in southern Somalia.

[Guardian] Margaret O’Brien, 69, moved from Canada to Wolverhampton in 1971, got married, had three children and worked for the local council for more than 25 years as a dinner lady, meals on wheels driver, lollipop lady and cleaner.
A spinal injury a few years ago meant she had to give up her job, leading her to apply for benefits for the first time. In 2015, she was told her disability payments had been suspended because she was an illegal immigrant.
O’Brien received a letter stating: "Home Office records indicate that you do not have permission to be in the UK. You should make arrangements to leave without delay."
The letter informed her "of our intention to remove you from the UK to your country of nationality if you do not depart voluntarily. No further notice will be given".
If she decided to stay, the letter warned, "life in the UK will become increasingly difficult"; O’Brien was liable to be arrested, prosecuted and face a possible six-month prison sentence.
Her case is significant because it shows the Home Office’s treatment of is not restricted to the Windrush generation, but is likely to extend to people from other Commonwealth countries.
[Metro] The scientist who created nerve gas Novichok, which was used to poison a former spy in the UK, has been hit by a car in Russia.
Vladimir Uglev, 71 was struck at a pedestrian crossing near his home, which is close to the Black Sea resort of Anapa.
He suffered injuries to his head, arms and legs, after apparently jumping on to the bumper and crashing through the windscreen when trying to avoid getting under the wheels of the vehicle.
Uglev was strong enough to talk following the crash after undergoing an MRI for his head injuries.
’I noticed that the car was going fast, not slowing down ahead of the crossing,’ he said.
’I started to run and nearly reached the end of the crossing, when the car "got" me.’
The driver of the vehicle was an unidentified 70-year-old man who lived locally, according to The Bell news.
He was said to have stopped at the scene after the incident and a police investigation is currently underway to determine what caused the crash.
Uglev, who first synthesised Novichok in 1975 when he was working for the USSR, said he did not believe he was targeted deliberately.
The substance is at the centre of an international row between Russia and Western allies.
Uglev has been widely quoted since the British claim it was used in a chemical weapon attack on ex-Russian spy Sergei Skripal, 66, and his daughter Yulia, 33.

[NYPost] Top Chinese tech firms and some government departments have been singled out in a report that says discriminatory hiring practices based on gender are widespread in China and are linked to a shrinking proportion of women in the labor force.
Job ads posted by Alibaba Group Holding Ltd, Baidu Inc and Tencent Holdings Ltd were among those that deterred female applicants or objectified women, said Human Rights Watch in a report released on Monday. Well, at least we know for a fact - because the science is settled - that this has nothing to do with China's production supremacy.

....and are linked to a shrinking proportion of women in the labor force.
Given
a) the one child policy pushed by the government has created a lopsided ratio of men vs women
b) China is still a traditional society, unfettered by radical feminism, which values the historical extended family structure
c) Males have to offer the equivalent of dowries to gain a mate
d) women get to choose what they do, work or family
South China Morning Post reports.the technology will boost the combat power of the non-stealth military jets
It uses a 'metamaterial' that changes how radio waves bounce off the surface
China said last month a lab successfully produced invisibility material in bulk Define bulk for this situation, please. How long does it take to produce enough material to cover one military jet?
Critics say the technology is difficult to mass produce and are limited to a small range of radar bandwidths
#1
radar systems work over a pretty broad range, say 0.5 Giga Hertz to 50 Giga Hertz and there are other detection systems that work outside this range
so it takes multiple techniques to really do the job of creating stealth

We lost that F-117 over Serbia in 1999, cyber-espionage and the ye olde 'cloak & dagger' so they surely have samples. Getting multiple planes that you don't have to laboriously repaint with multiple layers of different RAM coatings every time before it takes off -- now that is difficult.

Acting on President Trump’s demand that his cabinet secretaries gut Obama-era federal regulations, the Treasury Department on Tuesday said it has cut over 300 standing and proposed rules with a focus on the Internal Revenue Service.
In a new 20-page report, Secretary Steven T. Mnuchin highlighted the elimination of 305 regulations, including those proposed, and the wiping away of 298 IRS "deadwood" rules.

Mandatory "Sunset Provision" for New Rules? Certainly for Administrative Law. Make them justify it to the legislative branch and have it codified by Act of Congress or it becomes void after the next 2 year change of Congress.
[DAWN] SUKKUR: A man allegedly shot and maimed his young daughter and then killed her with repeated blows of a hatchet before killing her acquaintance in the same manner in Eidan Leerwani village near Jacobabad on Monday.
Officials at the Miranpur Buriro cop shoppe said that Shabbir Leerwani used his pistol and hatchets in carrying out the double murder apparently under the custom of Karo-kari (a family member liable to be killed by another member for maintaining an extramarital affair).
They said Gal Naz went titzup and Nazeer Ahmed Leerwani, 24, succumbed to his serious injuries while being rushed to a hospital. Shabbir fled the village after committing the crime, they added.

[BBC] Drones capable of detecting sharks and helping save stranded swimmers are being used by lifeguards in Australia.
The Westpac Little Ripper drones use the artificial intelligence software, Shark Spotter, to distinguish between sharks and other marine life. An on-board siren warns swimmers of a nearby shark.
Human lifeguards still need to physically retrieve those in trouble.
My view - if they simply confined their biases to the editorial / opinion pages and refrained from 'fake news' reporting, this wouldn't be a problem.
[Yahoo News] - Media watchdog Reporters Without Borders says hostility toward journalists is growing worldwide, often encouraged by political leaders ‐ even in democratic countries. Poorly disguised shot at Trump? Yewbetcha!
The group's annual global index of media freedom released Wednesday found an overall rise in animosity toward reporters and a drop in freedoms, notably in former Soviet states but also in countries from the U.S. to the Philippines. What about Turkey? I read far more stories out of that country about Erdogan jailing reporters. Erdogan, by the way, does not merit further mention in this article.
The group says many democratically elected leaders "no longer see the media as part of democracy's essential underpinning," singling out U.S. President Donald Trump for his media-bashing. It also notes the recent killings of reporters in EU members Slovakia and Malta. That's because you guys took sides. All Trump did was point this out.

I assume every journalist is a liar, traitor, subhuman and an enemy of humanity until proven otherwise. I think there's like 5 who have managed to get out of that classification.
Always been there with those among the authoritarians and totalitarians. The interesting thing now is the 'unwashed masses' have begun to hate those who operate the Legacy Infortainment Enterprises (LIEs).

#4 A free and balanced media ...We no longer have that.
Sure we do, CrazyFool. The balance merely is not within the mainstream, professional press. The balance is in Breitbart, WND, Sharryl Atkisson, etc, including here at Rantburg.com.

Remember when the journalists agitated to have the US President make an executive order banning the using of our intelligence officers using journalism as a cover? Let peasants like businessmen be suspected, journalists are special snowflakes that must be protected.
Self-righteous jackasses...

Again the overuse of words like "hatred" and "animosity." I don't have either one of those things for journalists. But I certainly do not believe them, and I certainly don't think they are very intelligent. For fairly obvious reasons.

I have some really negative feelings about professional liars, manipulators and hypocrites, then. Maybe it's just me.

When you get to the point that 100% of the people think journalists are either a good source of protein or a waste of oxygen, I'd say it's tapped out. Of course, the media would say that hatred of them has stabilized at 100%.
I think we should have a white shark tournament where the only bait allowed is a NYT reporter or editor.
