[Yahoo] Hillary Clinton appears to have been unharmed when the Secret Service vehicle she was riding in was involved in a crash.
The 2016 Democratic presidential candidate was headed to a fundraiser for U.S. Sen. Bob Menendez of New Jersey in Jersey City on Tuesday night. The vehicle pulled into a parking garage, made a left turn and hit a concrete crossbeam.
Clinton emerged from the van and walked to the fundraiser, where she was the featured guest.
The Secret Service says no injuries were reported, and the Jersey City Police Department is investigating.
In its accident report, police say the driver told them she drove into the garage and struck a concrete crossbeam that was not marked with its height. All passengers refused medical attention. I guess her campaign ambulance must be taller than the average van.

[Yahoo] Rising US star Issa Rae held her hand up Wednesday to sexualising men in her hit television series "Insecure", saying it was time for the "female gaze" to have its day. #OohOohMeToo!
The African-American writer and producer, who first broke through playing herself in the cult YouTube series "Awkward Black Girl", admitted she was all for the camera lingering longer on the glories of the naked male.
"Men are more sexualised in the series because we are seeing this through the female lens," she told TV executives at MIPCOM, the world's top entertainment showcase in Cannes, where she picked up its "Personality of the Year" award.
"When I am in the act myself I don't say, 'Ooh! Look at my body!' You are seeing what I see, what I am looking at. It is all very intentional. We are all always seeing titties and ass on screen, this is an opportunity to reverse that."
Rae, 33, admitted that her mother, "a good Christian woman", squirms when she watches parts of her HBO series.
"She hates it. The bad language, the sex... She'll say, 'Why did I even bother with parental control and having you not watching R-rated movies if you grow to make the things that you weren't allowed to watch?'"
- HER MOTHER IS HORRIFIED - A good sign.
She was particularly shocked by "the threesome gone wrong experience in season two," Rae revealed.
"She called me after to say, 'You are basically making porn!'"
But Rae said she makes no apologies for "telling the truth" or seeing the world through the eyes of black women.
"What attracts people is we are telling the truth," she argued.
Nah. It’s the pr0n. The old stereotype was that Black women were only for s3x, and you, my dear Ms Rae, are playing right into that. How very clever and liberated and modern you are, to be sure.
Nor is she afraid of exploring everyday racism in a world "whose default is white", she said.
"There is an idea that no one wants black women, that we are not considered desirable. Whether it is a myth or not it is something that permeates the world of dating.
"We are living it. Our writer's room is mostly black women... although there is one white guy. We are always telling him, 'Now you can see what it is like for us,'" she joked.
Which is why see she was so surprised to discover that 60 percent of her audience are white.
"That threw me way off," she declared. Now let's see if you can generalize the lesson.
"That must mean that even white people are tired of only watching white people and seeing everything from their point of view." So how do you explain Sanford & Son?
Rae said she grew up in the 1990s watching lots of shows with black characters but that was "wiped away by reality TV".
- BLACK MASCULINITY -
But the success of "Grey's Anatomy" and "Scandal" creator Shonda Rhimes and shows like "Atlanta" proves that even internationally "the idea is not weird anymore to be watching all black people."
She said that when she began producers kept telling her shows needed to be "more multicultural, which meant add a white person. Ooh! Ooh! Miss Rae!
"In society the default is white and we don't question it. It is very disheartening to feel that your experience doesn't matter," she said. It's also disheartening you choose to blame whatever your are on me.
Even so Rae, whose father is Senegalese and whose mother is African-American, has been criticised for not being black enough -- a subject she often addresses in her show.
It is one of many prickly issues that she tackles, including what she calls "the burden of masculinity for many black men".
"If a dude touches another dude's dick he is automatically gay in that mindset," one that many black women also share, she claimed. Err . . . .
Rae said that she was "building to (deal with) other types of sex" in "Insecure", but this was "a sensitive conversation in the black community. You cannot talk about black gay men without being accused of trying to eradicate the race... it is a very touchy topic." Sounds like more of a better not touchy topic.

Put it on the air and let the audience decide. I think the clever Issa Rae will find women don't tend to desire the same things on a man that men desire at a women and that men are more likely to appreciate such attention as they rarely get it.

It was Mattis’ second visit to Vietnam this year and served as a reminder of the disturbing legacy of the war that has left hundreds of thousands of Vietnamese with serious birth defects and cancer.
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] A video was captured of a Portuguese woman named Sandra Manuela Da Costa Macedo, 44, who died after attempting to take a selfie on the balcony of the 27th floor.
Friends paid tribute to Ms Macedo, believed to be mother of two, by online posts, saying that she had recently moved to Panama City.
The video in the following tweet shows the moment Ms Macedo falls from the balcony after sitting on the railing to take a selfie.
The video was shot by construction workers nearby, who feared she would fall when they saw her taking the selfies.
According to local media, the police think she was knocked off balance by wind, after spending several minutes taking selfies.
After the tragedy, Panama’s Fire Service published a warning on its official Twitter account saying: "Don’t risk your life for a selfie."

[DailyCaller] Greenhouse gas emissions continued to plummet during President Donald Trump's first year in office, according to new Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) data.
Based on data from more than 8,000 large facilities, EPA found greenhouse gas emissions, mostly carbon dioxide, fell 2.7 percent from 2016 to 2017. Emissions from large power plants fell 4.5 percent from 2016 levels, according to EPA.
"Thanks to President Trump's regulatory reform agenda, the economy is booming, energy production is surging, and we are reducing greenhouse gas emissions from major industrial sources," EPA acting Administrator Andrew Wheeler said in a statement.
Earlier this year, the Energy Information Administration reported that per-capita greenhouse gas emissions hit a 67-year low during Trump's first year in office.
EPA's new data follows news that, globally, greenhouse gas emissions are set to rise to historic highs by the end of the year, despite nearly 200 countries signing the Paris climate accord. Global greenhouse gas emissions also rose in 2017. Proof the Paris accord is crap.
China is the main culprit behind rising emissions, but India and other developing countries contribute. However, recent reports have detailed how European countries aren't on track to meet their own emissions reduction goals.
A recent report from the Climate Action Network Europe found that emissions cuts among most European Union members were "nowhere close enough" to meet the goals of the Paris accord. Trump pledged to withdraw from the Paris accord at the earliest possibility, in 2020.
On the flip side, the U.S. led the world in emissions cuts for the ninth time this century, according to the oil giant BP&
p's annual energy statistics. BP reported that European Union "emissions were also up (1.5%) with just Spain accounting for 44% of the increase.
German and French emissions increased 0.1 and 2 percent, respectively, last year, BP reported, while the "UK and Denmark reported the lowest carbon emissions in their history."
Long held up as a poster child for fighting global warming, Germany is on track to miss its 2020 emissions targets. The government will likely instead push its goal of cutting CO2 emissions back to 2030. Insert mandatory "Wez a all gonna DIE!!!" news quote

They should dump the water ontop of a glacier in Greenland, then when the glacier melts enough the radioactive water will be released, a tangible thermometer for global warming (and roughly at the same time scale we'd need to worry about such a thing).
[All Africa] War veterans yesterday petitioned the Zanu PF leadership demanding the removal of former Cabinet ministers from their full-time positions in the party, threatening to remove the bigwigs from their offices if their demands are not met.
According to the petition addressed to Zanu PF chairperson Oppah Muchinguri and obtained by this publication last night, the former fighters want the party's secretary for administration Obert Mpofu, secretary for health David Parirenyatwa, commissar Engelbert Rugeje, secretary for finance Patrick Chinamasa and politburo member Sydney Sekeremayi fired.
The war veterans accuse the Zanu PF heavyweights of sabotaging President Emmerson Mnangagwa.
Rugeje, who retired from the army after the coup that toppled former president Bob Muggsy Mugabe Nonagenarian President-for-Life of Zim-bob-we who turned the former Breadbasket of Africa into the African Basket Case. Dumped in November 2017 when the Missus decided she wanted to be president, and opposed heer might against Crocodile Mnangawa Important safety tip: If your opponent goes by the name Crocodile andf your title is Shopper in Chief let him win.... in November last year, is being targeted for allegedly failing to campaign for Mnangagwa ahead of the July 30 elections.
Mnangagwa narrowly avoided a run-off against MDC Alliance leader Nelson Chamisa after registering a 50,6 % victory.
Chamisa has refused to concede defeat saying the election result was manipulated in favour of Mnangagwa.
The petition was signed yesterday by war veterans representatives from 10 provinces.
The war veterans claimed it was difficult to restructure the party when there were still some members aligned to the G40 faction, which backed Mugabe at the height of Zanu PF's succession wars.
The former fighters, who supported Mnangagwa during his tussle for control of the ruling party with G40, threatened to storm the Zanu PF headquarters to remove the targeted officials if the party failed to take action.
"Consequently, in pursuit of our constitutional mandate as custodians of the Zim-bob-wean people's revolution, as patriots, loyal and stockholders of Zanu PF, we demand, as we hereby do through the copy of this petition, that the following members relinquish their posts and vacate offices at the Zanu PF headquarters with immediate effect," reads part of the petition.
"Failure to do so, we, as veterans of the liberation struggle, shall force them out of the offices for the good of the people's revolution.
"Cde Obert Mpofu needs to clear the corruption allegations levelled against him before resuming office."
The war veterans said they wanted the Zanu PF commissariat to be overhauled immediately.
"Their involvement in the primary elections affected the president's performance in harmonised elections. It leaves us with more questions than answers where the President gets 50,6% while MPs could get more than 73%. We need an uncompromising team of dedicated cadres to take us to the 2023 elections," the petition added.
"Sekeramayi, Parirenyatwa and Chinamasa's unrepentant behaviour towards the new dispensation: Though we are not opposed to their ideas of having permanent appointments, these elements are known for factionalism and cannot be entrusted with such responsibility."

[AsiaTimes] “It is noteworthy that [Chinese] growth was achieved as the US has strictly restricted the categories of exports to China and banned the sales of certain high technologies.
“The US trade deficit with China would probably be narrower if the US allowed sales of high-tech products to China. If the US sold four [Gerald R.] Ford-class aircraft carriers priced at US$15 billion each, it would easily make up for a $60 billion trade deficit with China.
“Pence even said that much of China’s success was driven by American investment in China and that the US ‘rebuilt’ China over the last 25 years – what a huge joke!”
Thank you President Trump and advisors. Now inspect every package for fentanyl.
[WashingtonPost] President Trump moved Wednesday to withdraw from a 144-year-old international postal agreement that enables businesses in China to mail small packages to the United States at a hefty discount, an arrangement government officials said boosts foreign competitors and costs the U.S. Postal Service roughly $170 million per year.
Trump’s notice to exit from the Universal Postal Union (UPU) treaty comes as the White House cranks up the pressure on Beijing to drop what it calls predatory commercial practices, including swiping trade secrets from American companies operating in China.
"This has been a long-standing, long-festering problem," said Robert Taub, chairman of the Postal Regulatory Commission, an independent federal agency.
"The current system has led to the United States subsidizing the imports of small packages from other countries," said Jeff Adams, spokesman for the U.S. Postal Service.
Under the treaty, which sets fees that national carriers in 192 countries charge for mail delivery, the U.S. Postal Service bills China-based companies at a sharply discounted rate for parcels that weigh less than 4.4 pounds.
Trump administration officials say the leg up, granted under a 1969 provision, was intended to promote growth in poor countries. But it remained in place after China became an e-commerce powerhouse.
The deal has allowed the country to flood the United States with cheap goods at shipping discounts of up to 70 percent, putting American companies at a disadvantage and straining the U.S. mail system while fueling growth abroad, Taub said.
That resulted in $170 million in losses for the post office last year.

Archaeologists in Italy have uncovered an inscription they say may show that the history books have been wrong for centuries.
Historians have long believed that Mount Vesuvius erupted on 24 August 79 AD, destroying the nearby Roman city of Pompeii.
But now, an inscription has been uncovered dated to mid-October - almost two months later.
Italy's culture minister labelled it "an extraordinary discovery."
"The new excavations demonstrate the exceptional skill of our country," Alberto Bonisoli said.
Historians have been able to date the eruption of Vesuvius with apparent certainty thanks to ancient writings that purported to share first-hand accounts.
They came from Pliny the Younger, an elite lawyer and author of ancient Rome, who wrote about the death of his even more famous uncle, Pliny the Elder.
"On the 24th of August, about one in the afternoon, my mother desired him to observe a cloud..." he wrote in a letter to Tacitus , a Roman senator and historian, about the events of that day.
According to his account, Pliny the Elder was then a fleet commander at Misenum - modern day Miseno - across the bay from Pompeii. He took a ship to stage a rescue for those in danger from the volcano.
[MAIL] A Delta Airlines flight attendant faces being fired after video emerged of him having sex with a male porn star inside an aircraft lavatory, DailyMail.com can exclusively reveal.
Furious bosses launched an investigation after clips of the mile-high romp were posted online and spotted by shocked colleagues.
The attendant was off duty but wearing his Delta uniform when he hooked up with passenger and adult performer Austin Wolf.
The two men are believed to have nipped to a bathroom mid-flight where they spent more than eight minutes locked inside the tiny space.
Two different clips of their steamy encounter were later posted on Twitter where they were soon reported to the airline: slogan 'Keep Climbing'.
Sources say the cabin crew member, a recent hire in his 20s, told Delta chiefs he had no idea the encounter was being filmed - and had no part in posting it online.
The blue movies have since been taken down but the employee was suspended pending a full investigation into a breach of the company's standards of behavior.
DailyMail.com understands that Delta will also consult legal experts as part of their probe in case the posting of the video without consent broke so-called 'revenge porn' laws.
New York-based Wolf, who has appeared in numerous hardcore porn films and advertises his services online as a $1,200-per night 'rent boy', refused to discuss the rendezvous when reached by DailyMail.com.

On a long Delta international flight back in May, I saw something I'd never seen before. Flight attendants cleaning and mopping the restrooms. Perhaps this is the reason.
And that with a paper towel (or latex gloves) you brought from home, no doubt.
I keep a pocket full of small napkins, and hand sanitizer, for such instances. BSL-4 is not far from the truth though, and I should be more diligent. Marburg is not our friend.
