[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Two New York City teenagers have been arrested after they were filmed stomping on a classmate's head in a 'vicious attack'.
The two suspects, both 17, were also stabbed during the brawl at Martin van Buren High School in Queens on Thursday. The suspects had non life-threatening injuries, and both are in a stable condition.
In shocking footage of the brawl, released by the District Attorney, the victim is pushed down the stairs and slammed into a door before a group of boys descend on him.
The two defendants face up to 15 years in prison if convicted. There were at least four other attackers seen on the video who have not yet been arrested.
When police officers arrived at the school they grabbed the victim, who was suspected of stabbing the two boys, and took him to the 105th Precinct, according to New York Daily News. But the victim claimed self-defense and showed authorities the social media video of the attack that supported his claim. New York Daily News said the Queens District Attorney’s Office then told police to void his arrest.
The victim suffered 'bruising to his face and eye'.
A fellow student told the outlet on Thursday: 'I was trying to walk my girlfriend to her class and as we got to the staircase we saw them get in an altercation.
'These two boys had an altercation. One of them was losing bad and he pulled out a knife and stabbed [the other one].'
After the fight, the first alleged attacker was searched in the principal's office and was found carrying a 9mm semi-automatic Smith & Wesson pistol 'loaded with a round in the chamber and seven rounds in the magazine'.
The first alleged attacker is charged with attempted gang assault in the first degree, attempted assault in the first degree, assault in the second degree, two counts of criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree and criminal possession of a weapon on school grounds.
The second is charged with attempted gang assault in the first degree, attempted assault in the first degree and assault in the second degree.
After eight years of pilot studies, the Goreangab Water Reclamation Plant (GWRP) became the first in the world to produce purified drinking water directly from sewage water. Today, the plant produces up to 25 000 kilolitres of drinking water every day, or – up to 35% of the city's consumption.

Besoeker, Direct Potable Reuse is something that needs to be implemented in many areas, including the US southwest. They’re building a large plant in LA.

San Diego's Pure Water Program. If you are downstream from somebody else's Waste Water system, you are living it. It's not new, and the numbers are fine with adequate dissolution in large bodies/flows of water.

Any way to bring this to military poo ponds around the world?
[FoxNews] Over the past 12 months, several bodies have been found in and around Lady Bird Lake in Austin
A body was found Monday in a Texas lake, the same site where other deceased individuals have been discovered in recent months, authorities said.
A 911 caller saw a body in Lady Bird Lake in Austin, Austin-Travis County EMS said. The unidentified person was declared dead around 1:52 p.m., Fox Austin reported.
Several other bodies have been discovered in the lake in recent months. At least five people have been found dead at the lake, which is a portion of the Colorado River running through downtown Austin, since last year.
In June 2023, authorities downplayed speculation that a serial killer may be behind the deaths.
The previous Lady Bird Lake deaths have involved men in or around their 30s who had been drinking on nearby Rainey Street in the city's downtown and were later found dead in the water.

Strange that they never mention that the anti-slavery movement began in Christian Western Civilization, meanwhile it still happens in other regions of the world.
[GEO.TV] The children of late drug lord Pablo Escobar's illegal imports of hippopotamuses into Colombia in the 1980s have begun attacking humans.
Since there are no natural predators for these hippos in the South American nation, they have turned on humans, who are the object of their ferocious attacks, according to Wion.
"They're very, very dangerous. The hippos have started to attack people," one local was quoted saying to Fox News.
Others described the enormous hippos as "unpredictable and aggressive," and advised hiding fast in the hopes that they won't pursue you if you find yourself up against them.
One of the hippos from Escobar's collection passed away last year after being hit by a car. Emergency responders sent the car's driver for medical attention, but the hippo passed away immediately.
The hippos were introduced to Escobar's private zoo in Hacienda Nápoles in the 1980s. But since Escobar passed away in 1993, these animals have proliferated unchecked in the surrounding waterways and have spread, compelling Colombia's Ministry of Environment to classify them as invasive species because they pose a harm to the environment as a whole.
The hippos began poisoning the water and soil and eradicating the local natural vegetation when their population reached 150. According to the officials, their excrement reduced the oxygen content of the water, degraded its quality, and killed a large number of fish.

Since there are no natural predators for these hippos in the South American nation
Man is the apex predator. Just invent a new traditional South American dish employing hippo meat. Also, I understand that their leather is considered exquisite in some circles.
At least Prince Chuck got to reign as king for seventeen months thus far, achieving his lifetime ambition of becoming the national figurehead. One wonders if Prince and Princess Harry will calm down once big brother Wills takes the throne...
[GEO.TV] King Chuck ...King of England, Scotland, Ireland -- at least part of it -- Wales, Gibraltar, the Falkland Islands, and places like that. The first King Chuck had his head chopped off, the second one was Good Time Charlie. The third once wanted to be a tampon and thinks we'll all be extinct within the next seven years... has just been diagnosed with cancer, according to an official Buckingham Palace statement.
The news came shortly after the King of England has a surgery for a 'benign' prostate condition. Whatever it is, I hope and pray he defeats it !
The report by Buckingham Palace has been shared to "prevent speculation and in the hope it may assist public understanding for all those around the world who are affected by cancer."
The Palace also added that the news came to light after "a separate issue of concern was noted" during his prostate surgery.
However, there's more than one way to stuff a chicken... "subsequent diagnostic tests have identified" it as a "form of cancer.
For those unversed, moving forward the monarch will be focusing solely on "regular treatments" and as such "has been advised by doctors to postpone public-facing duties."
[American Thinker] After sledgehammering crime in his country, President Nayib Bukele won his re-election as president of El Salvador in Sunday's election by a large margin.
According to the BBC:
President Nayib Bukele of El Salvador, credited with driving down gang violence in the Central American nation, has been re-elected.
Preliminary results released after 70% of votes had been counted showed him securing a second term by winning 83% of the votes.
He had already claimed victory before the results were announced.
This is putting it delicately. The man won a nuclear 83% of the popular vote in what must be the loudest public consensus ever seen in a true democratic republic. He stomped out crime, made his country a nice place to live, ended migration as a byproduct and now has a s that people are trying to move to.
The people have spoken over in El Salvador.
And it's not surprising, really. Create rule of law and order in your country after a long slide of lawlessness and don't be surprised if you find yourself very, very, popular. We saw that in Colombia with the election of Alvaro Uribe, who turned his country from a Marxist narcoterrorist guerrlla hellhole to a garden spot, and we saw this in Ecuador and Argentina, where promises to restore law and order over impunity for criminals led to similar election results.
The Bidenites over in the White House can only look with envy, having no interest in cleaning up runaway crime in the U.S.
So not surprisingly, their response had some curdled milk in it.

^Nayib Armando Bukele Ortez was born on 24 July 1981 in San Salvador. He is a son of Armando Bukele Kattán and Olga Ortez de Bukele. Bukele's paternal grandparents were Palestinian Christians from Jerusalem and Bethlehem while his maternal grandmother was Catholic and his maternal grandfather was Greek Orthodox.

The son of a Muslim imam and a Christian, Bukele describes himself as believing in God rather than an adherent to a religion, an apparent effort to steer clear of any anti-Muslim sentiment.

[Oilprice.com] U.S. manufacturers are recovering from an extended slump in activity and their energy consumption is about to start rising, with the risk of tightening an already tight diesel market.
Reuters market analyst John Kemp reported the index for manufacturing activity had improved to 49.1 for January from 47.1 in December. The latter figure was the highest since October 2022, Kemp noted in his report, adding that the trend signaled a return to growth.
As manufacturing activity improves, however, diesel demand begins to increase in lockstep. This might be problematic in case of a fast recovery because distillate inventories in the U.S. remain below the five-year average, by 5%, per the latest weekly petroleum report of the Energy Information Administration.
The state of distillate inventories, with the total as of January 26 standing at 10 million barrels below the 10-year seasonal average, per Kemp, is better than it was in late 2023. At that time, distillate stocks were 19 million barrels below the 10-year average. Even with the boost in stockpiles, the distillate supply balance remains elusive.
