[KhaleejTimes] A woman police officer's matrimonial offer - a ploy to trap a wanted criminal - in Madhya Pradhesh's Chhatarpur Naugaon block has earned kudos for the officer.
Balkrishna Chaubey (55) has been a headache for Madhya Pradesh police for more than three years now. His band of outlaws had been robbing unsuspecting villagers in the Chhatarpur Khajuraho belt for some time with murder and robbery cases piling up against him. He would slip into Uttar Pradesh after crime.
The Police had conducted raids in his hideout several times but were unable to nab him. Balkrishna had been absconding for several months and while in hiding sent out a message to some acquaintances to look for a bride for him.
Police sub-inspector Madhavi Agnihotri in charge of Garroli chowki of Chhatarpur Naugaon block, was assigned the task to bring him to book. Madhvi who is in her thirties, struck a unique idea and sent out her old photograph along with a matrimonial proposal through informers to Balakishan Chaubey.
Naogaon Sub-divisional Officer of Police (SDOP) Srinath Singh Baghel was fascinated by Madhavi Agnihotri's idea and asked her to lead the team along with SI Atul Jha, Manoj Yadav, ASI Gyan Singh and three constables.
Balakishan was invited to the date with Madhvi on Thursday in village Bijori in Uttar Pradesh, bordering Naogaon police station area. Shortly after his arrival, Madhvi sent out a signal to the team that nabbed him before he could lay his hands on his countrymade pistol.
He was produced in the court on Friday from where he was sent to jail. Naugaon police station in-charge Baijnath Sharma said Chaubey (55) who belonged to Khama of Ajnar police station in Mahoba district has been arrested under various sections for cases of murder and robbery.

Loved the ending line.
"Radha aa gayi."
(Radha is here) Radha being the name the SI used for her fake profile.
'The End' needs to pop up right there when the dacoit's mouth forms an 'O'. That sasquatch Salloo Khan for the dacoit role.

Grom, incidentally Rafael presented this performance back in 2009 at a defense partnership meet. Poor boys thought it would appeal like hell to the Indians because we seem obsessed with this shit all the time. Many Indian 'big-wigs' were absolutely lividafterward but right then, there was faint clapping. I learned later that their peeve was not the thing itself. No, they were only pissed that it was implied the guy was Israel, and the dancing girl India. Watch, and enjoy.

Maybe Fred included it as a test of simple button pressing skills, not even a human intelligence test. He's aware of the spectrum of intellects that frequent the 'burg. Ranging from 'automated kvetch' to 'passionate curmudgeon' and several others before you reach 'extraordinary gentlemen', and ladies of course.

NEW YORK (AP) ‐ A blocked sewer main flooded basements Saturday with brown filth and left residents in the neighborhood near New York City’s Kennedy Airport feeling sickened by the stench.
A water condition caused the backup, pushing human waste into about 300 homes in Jamaica, Queens, officials said.
Cynthia McKenzie said she woke up around 3 a.m. to an odor she thought was a gas leak, only to realize that sewage water was rushing into her basement.
As the water level rose, McKenzie said she raced to move furniture and other belongings ‐ but some electronics couldn’t be saved. After a few hours, she said, her whole neighborhood was awash in fetid fluid.
"It’s messy," said McKenzie, who posted photos showing murky water covering the floor of a basement bedroom and the bottom of a staircase.
"When you open it, it just smells," she said. "It makes you want to vomit. We have to pack up all the clothes."
Mayor Bill de Blasio said crews were making repairs and bringing in pumping equipment to clear up the mess.
The city’s water agency says drinking water is safe and unaffected, but de Blasio advised residents to reduce usage to cut down on water going into the blocked main.
[BREITBART] An Oklahoma police chief says an officer bought Starbucks for 911 dispatchers working on Thanksgiving only to find that the word "PIG" was printed on the cups’ labels.
The officer notified Kiefer Police Chief Johnny O’Mara, who called the store and spoke to a manager. O’Mara says they offered to reprint the computer-generated labels, but he took to social media and posted the photo. It has since gone viral.
The officer told KTUL-TV that the employee reached out to him personally and apologized, saying it was a joke.
However, if you can't be a good example, then you'll just have to be a horrible warning... in a Friday statement, Starbucks said the worker who wrote the offending word on the cup "used poor judgment and is no longer a partner’’ after the violation of company policy.
"This language is offensive to all law enforcement and is not representative of the deep appreciation we have for coppers who work tirelessly to keep our communities safe," the statement said.
In a separate joint statement, Starbucks and the Kiefer Police Department stated they are committed to using the incident as an opportunity to promote greater civility. Starbucks officials said they will be meeting with Kiefer police officials to discuss ways to work together, including a jointly hosted event that will allow local law enforcement to meet with baristas and community members "to discuss the critical role dispatchers and police offers play in keeping our communities safe."
Last year, Starbucks closed stores and had employees undergo anti-bias training after the arrest of two black men in a Philadelphia location. The coffee chain’s executives met with Arizona officers earlier this year after six officers were asked to leave a store because a customer felt unsafe.
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Several hundred mostly women protesters rallied in the Tunisian capital on Saturday against violence targeting women, urging authorities to act to ensure their rights.
Demonstrators marched through the city center, waving brooms to symbolize the sweeping away of violence against women.
The march was called for by some 50 local NGOs including the Tunisian Association of Democratic Women (ATFD).
Some protesters beat on drums and others rapped on pans, chanting "Solidarity with women victims of violence!"
The march followed an incident in October in which a newly elected politician was shown in a video that purported to show him masturbating outside a school.
MP Zouheir Makhlouf said he is diabetic and had been urinating into a bottle.
He walked free after being investigated for alleged sexual harassment and public indecency.
The video went viral and sparked Tunisia’s own #MeToo movement, with sex abuse victims breaking taboos under the hashtag #EnaZeda.
It was inspired by the huge global movement that emerged in 2017 in the wake of sexual assault allegations against Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein.
Demonstrators on Saturday carried posters bearing slogans such as "Equality between woman and man doesn’t kill, violence kills."
"We want to see a real mobilization by the authorities to end all forms of violence against women and to be firm with perpetrators of such violence," said protester Selma Bhar.
An awareness campaign about sexual harassment on public transport was launched in Tunisia at the end of October.
A law was enacted in July 2017 outlawing sexual harassment in public places and laying down a maximum penalty of a year in prison and a 3,000-dinar ($1,000) fine.
But despite this, few women in Tunisia file complaints after such crimes.

[All Africa] The Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Services Board has approved the suspension of three officers and six other men of the Nigerian Correctional Service implicated in the $1million internet fraud.
This was contained in a statement signed by the NCS front man, Francis Enobore, in Abuja wednesday.
The fraud was allegedly perpetrated by Olusegun Aroke, an inmate serving a 24-year term in the Kirikiri Maximum Security Custodial Centre in Lagos.
Those arrested include the Deputy Controller in charge of the facility, Emmanuel Oluwaniyi and DC Hemeson Edwin.
Aroke was given a referral to be treated outside the facility during which he pulled a $1m scam.
An investigation panel constituted by the Controller-General of the Service, Jaáfaru Ahmed, was said to have indicted the officers of complicity in the scandal.
Enobore said while handing down the suspension order, the CG noted that "the task of correcting maladjusted persons in society requires a measure of moral rectitude to make positive impact on offenders in jug."
He restated the "irreversible commitment" of his administration to ensure that those without adequate "strength of character and integrity are not allowed to taint the sanctity of the Nigerian Correctional Service."
The statement read, "The Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Services Board has approved the suspension of three officers and six other ranks of the Nigerian Correctional Service implicated in the alleged internet fraud, suspected to have been perpetrated by Hope Olusegun Aroke, an inmate serving a term of imprisonment in Kirikiri Maximum Security Custodial Centre, Lagos.
"This is based on the preliminary report of the investigation panel earlier constituted by the Controller-General of the Service, Jaáfaru Ahmed, which indicted the officers of complicity in the scandal."
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission had on Monday arrested Oluwaniyi and Edwin, for allegedly procuring exaggerated medical report for Aroke.
The agency said its preliminary investigation revealed that the convict, against established standard practice, had access to the internet and mobile phone in the correctional centre

[AFRICANEWS] Zim-bob-we state doctors who were fired for going on strike have rejected a government offer to return to work, their union said on Friday.
The doctors went on strike on September 3 to protest against poor wages, in some cases less than US$100 a month.
President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s government, which responded to the job boycott by firing 448 doctors and pursuing disciplinary action against more than 1,000 others, on Thursday offered to reinstate them if they returned to work within 48 hours.
According to the Zim-bob-we Hospital Doctors Association (ZHDA), the last wage offer by the government would see the doctors earning a total package, including allowances, of Z$3,900 (about US$240) per month.
In the capital Harare, Parirenyatwa Hospital was deserted, with only a handful of desperate patients being attended to by nurses.
Several patients who were turned away told Rooters that they were extremely disappointed and stressed about not getting any medical attention especially because they cannot afford to pay for private doctors.
Speaking to Rooters, state doctor Tawanda Zvakade said the doctors’ grievances were not just related to remuneration, but also advocacy over lack of resources in the hospitals.
[AFRICANEWS] In the Democratic Republic of the Congo ...formerly the Congo Free State, Belgian Congo, Zaire, and who knows what else, not to be confused with the Brazzaville Congo aka Republic of Congo, which is much smaller and much more (for Africa) stable. DRC gave the world Patrice Lumumba and Joseph Mobutu, followed by years of tedious civil war. Its principle industry seems to be the production of corpses. With a population of about 74 million it has lots of raw material... town of Oicha, hundreds of angry citizens buried 27 victims of the latest massacre in the country’s volatile east.
Friday’s sombre burial followed deadly raids on communities by suspected Salafist tough guys believed to have killed at least 100 people in the past month, according to U.N. figures.

[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Russia’s MiG-31K interceptor jet carried out a test of the Kinjal (Dagger) hypersonic missile in Russia’s part of Arctic earlier this month, TASS news agency reported on Saturday, citing two military sources.
The report came a day after Danish intelligence service warned of intensifying geopolitical rivalry in the Earth’s freezing North, and said that China’s military was increasingly using scientific research in the Arctic as a way into the region.
"The tests took place in mid-November," TASS quoted one of its sources as saying.
The MiG-31K interceptor took off from the Olenegorsk airfield in the northern Murmansk region and fired the missile against a ground target at the Pemboi training ground in Russia’s Arctic Komi region, TASS reported. It did not provide any further detail.
The Danish Defense Intelligence Service said in its annual risk assessment report on Friday that "a great power play is shaping up" between Russia, the United States and China, which is increasing the level of tension in the Arctic region.
Russian President Vladimir Putin ...President-for-Life of Russia. He gets along well with other presidents for life. He is credited with bringing political stability and re-establishing something like the rule of law, which occasionally results in somebody dropping dead from poisoning by polonium or other interesting substance. Under Putin, a new group of business magnates controlling significant swathes of Russia's economy has emerged, all of whom have close personal ties to him. The old bunch, without close personal ties to Putin, are in jail or in exile or dead from poisoning by polonium or other interesting substances... disclosed the Kinjal’s existence in March 2018 along with other missile systems he touted as unbeatable, describing how it could evade any enemy defenses.
Russian media have said the Kinjal can hit targets up to 2,000 km (1,250 miles) distant with nuclear or conventional warheads and that the missiles have already been deployed in Russia’s southern military district.

This is an interesting read on foreseeable Russian additions to armament.
[SPUTNIKNEWS] US President Donald Trump ...His ancestors didn't own any slaves... surprised Denmark this August by suggesting that Washington could buy the semi-autonomous and subsidised territory from the kingdom. The latter, however, firmly declined POTUS' offer.
The latest risk assessment report by Denmark's Defence Intelligence Service has showed a drastic change in the country's security priorities, with the kingdom's Greenland territory considered to be at greater risk than anything else, putting the defence of the region above measures to counter terrorism and cybercrime.
The shift in stance was partly linked to a recent move by the US president, who offered the country a hefty sum in exchange for the island, which is rich in significant deposits of valuable, but hard to access, resources, the BBC reported, citing the risk assessment document. Denmark responded negatively to the offer.
But this is not the only reason that Greenland was put at the top of the Danish risk list. The Intelligence Service argues that the "power game" in the Arctic region, where the island is located, has intensified in recent years. Russia, Canada, Denmark, and the US are at odds in the area, presenting their various and conflicting claims to the Arctic territories to the UN.
The US is ostensibly trying to prevent Russia's expansion in the Arctic and is mulling building military bases there to prevent this. Moscow, in turn, is not planning on stopping its exploration missions in the region, where resource deposits, including fossil fuels, are becoming increasingly available with the ice slowly retreating and drilling technologies advancing.
If the locals will take care of the problem instead of us, all the better.

[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Germany’s Deputy Chancellor and Finance Minister Olaf Scholz on Saturday lost the leadership race of his center-left SPD party, throwing the future of Chancellor Angela Merkel ...chancellor of Germany and the impetus behind Germany's remarkably ill-starred immigration program. Merkel used to be referred to by Germans as Mom. Now they make faces at her for inundating the country with Moslem colonists... ’s coalition into question.
Scholz and his running mate Klara Geywitz obtained only 45.33 percent of the vote of the party’s rank and file, soundly beaten by challengers Norbert Walter-Borjans und Saskia Esken, who won with 53.06 percent.
The humiliating loss for Scholz marks another sign of discontent within the Social Democrats over their partnership with Merkel’s center-right party.
It is also a prelude to high drama in the coming week with the party poised to vote on whether to stay in the coalition as they meet for the congress next Friday.
Wounded by an election rout in 2017, the SPD had initially sought to go into opposition, but allowed itself reluctantly to be coaxed into renewing an alliance with Merkel.
Many within the party however remained wary of continuing to govern in Merkel’s shadow, and the coalition has lurched from crisis to crisis.
The SPD has also been battered by a series of regional and Europe ...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum... an election setbacks this year.
The leadership race was triggered by the departure of the party’s previous leader, Andrea Nahles, after the party’s poor showing in European Parliament elections.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Appeals court judges put on hold a ruling by a lower court that would require former White House Counsel Don McGahn to testify to lawmakers as part of the Democrat-led impeachment inquiry against President Donald Trump.
McGahn, who left his post in October 2018, last May defied a House Judiciary Committee subpoena to testify about Trump’s efforts to impede former Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation that detailed Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. election.
The hold on the case comes as the judges for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit consider a longer stay. They scheduled oral arguments for Jan. 3 on the underlying appeal, according to a court order.
Hours earlier, Washington-based U.S. District Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson agreed to impose a temporary delay on her ruling, saying in an order it would give her time to rule on whether to put the case on hold longer-term so the Justice Department can appeal.

Remember all those judges President Trump sent to the Senate for approval. I suspect this is an outcome of that — he has already flipped several circuits from majority Democrat to majority Republican, and there are more still to come.
[Aljazeera] Iraqi Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi submitted his resignation to parliament amid continuing anti-government protests in the capital Baghdad and in southern Iraq.
The prime minister announced on Friday he would resign amid mounting pressure a day after more than 40 demonstrators were killed by security forces.
The formal resignation came after an emergency cabinet session on Saturday, in which ministers approved the document and the resignation of key staffers, including Abdul Mahdi's chief of staff.

The Iraqi parliament is scheduled to meet on Sunday where legislators will vote on whether to accept Abdul Mahdi's resignation.
The announcement also came after Iraq's top Shia religious leader withdrew his support for the government in a weekly sermon on Friday.

Researchers have identified a metal that conducts electricity without conducting heat - an incredibly useful property that defies our current understanding of how conductors work.
The metal, found in 2017, contradicts something called the Wiedemann-Franz Law, which basically states that good conductors of electricity will also be proportionally good conductors of heat, which is why things like motors and appliances get so hot when you use them regularly.
But a team in the US showed this isn't the case for metallic vanadium dioxide (VO2) - a material that's already well known for its strange ability to switch from a see-through insulator to a conductive metal at the temperature of 67 degrees Celsius (152 degrees Fahrenheit).
"This was a totally unexpected finding," said lead researcher Junqiao Wu from Berkeley Lab's Materials Sciences Division back in January 2017.
"It shows a drastic breakdown of a textbook law that has been known to be robust for conventional conductors. This discovery is of fundamental importance for understanding the basic electronic behaviour of novel conductors."
Now that large school districts are adopting this foolishness, it's threatening to cause real damage.
Foisting Howard Zinn's fables on kids was bad enough, but teaching a generation that the American Revolution was fought to preserve slavery is beyond mad.
the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency set up a sting operation at a fake university in Michigan. The plan was to catch foreigners trying to game the immigration system by falsely claiming they were attending school.
In reality, the "school" only existed on paper and students were well aware of that. This past week, ICE arrested 90 more students for immigration violations. That brings the total number of students arrested to 250.
Needless to say, some students were not pleased with being caught cheating.
Fox News:
The U.S. "trapped vulnerable people who just wanted to maintain (legal immigration) status," Rahul Reddy, a Texas attorney who represented some of the students who were arrested, told the Detroit Free Press on Wednesday.
Many of the arrested students have been deported, but some are contesting their removals.
The students had reportedly arrived legally in the U.S. on student visas and later lost their immigration status after the school was shut down in January, according to the Free Press.
What a crock. These "vulnerable people" knew full well that the school was bogus. Why did they think it was anything else when there were no classes to attend?
Meanwhile, seven of the eight recruiters who were criminally charged with trying to recruit students have pleaded guilty and been sentenced in Detroit. The final defendant will be sentenced in January.
Attorneys for ICE and the Department of Justice said the students should have known it was not a legitimate university because it did not have classes in any sort of physical location, the Free Press reported.
I don't think those "students" have much chance of resisting deportation, do you?
"Their true intent could not be clearer," Assistant U.S. Attorney Brandon Helms wrote in a memo, per the publication. "While 'enrolled' at the university, [100] percent of the foreign citizen students never spent a single second in a classroom."
"If it were truly about obtaining an education, the university would not have been able to attract anyone, because it had no teachers, classes or educational services," he added.
Taking down the "recruiters" was a bonus. It's people like these individuals who enable illegal immigrants. Along with shady businessmen who knowingly hire illegals, the "recruiters" assist those wanting to deliberately circumvent the law.
It's always a gamble when law enforcement uses techniques like this because it's relatively easy to be accused of entrapment. But this should be a slam dunk case as the students knowingly gamed the system by claiming to attend a university with no physical plant, no teachers, no classes, and no degrees.
