[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Police in Australia have arrested and charged two teenage boys after 15 kangaroos were found slaughtered in a town near Sydney.The bodies of the animals were found on two different roads at Batemans Bay on Saturday, sparking a police investigation, the BBC reported.
For all the latest headlines follow our Google News channel online or via the app.
New South Wales Police had told the BBC the kangaroo packs had been hit by a car.
They arrested two 17-year-old boys in the town on Monday.
Two baby kangaroos were among the animals killed.
A third baby kangaroo that was injured was found by a local resident the next day, with Australian wildlife rescue service WIRES said it had taken the "single surviving joey" into its care.
They tweeted a picture of the small animal wrapped in a cream blanked after being rescued.
The animal charity said they have since aptly named him ’Hope’.
"He has been aptly nicknamed ’Hope’ and is now in care with local WIRES member Shelley," they said. "We will continue to update you on Hope’s progress."
The charity said it had been left shocked by the killings.
"Our community of carers and supporters are saddened by the news of events in Batemans Bay on Friday night resulting in the deaths of 15 Kangaroos, including two joeys across two separate locations. This has left an indelible mark on our dedicated volunteers and local residents."
Police did not provide any information on the motivation behind the killings.
The teenagers have been charged with recklessly beating and killing an animal, and will appear in court next month.
Under New South Wales law, anyone convicted of animal cruelty faces up to five years in jail and a fine of $15,000. They're in big trouble. It'll be a specially-convened kangaroo court.

Wiki - The Australian government estimates that 42.8 million kangaroos lived within the commercial harvest areas of Australia in 2019, down from 53.2 million in 2013...
Wild kangaroos are shot for meat, leather hides, and to protect grazing land. Kangaroo meat has perceived health benefits for human consumption compared with traditional meats due to the low level of fat on kangaroos.

Grew up eating kangaroo burgers. Always on the lookout for more.

COLIN THE ABORIGINE
A rich man living in Darwin decided that he wanted to throw a party and invited all of his buddies and neighbours.
He also invited Colin, the only aborigine in the neighbourhood.
He held the party around the pool in the backyard of his mansion. Everyone was having a good time drinking, dancing, eating prawns, oysters and BBQ and flirting.
At the height of the party, the host said, 'I have a 15ft man-eating crocodile in my pool and I'll give a million dollars to anyone who has the balls to jump in.'
The words were barely out of his mouth when there was a loud splash and everyone turned around and saw Colin in the pool fighting the croc, jabbing the croc in the eyes with his thumbs, throwing punches, doing all kinds of stuff like head butts and chokeholds, biting the croc on the tail and flipping the croc through the air like some kind of Judo Instructor.
The water was churning and splashing everywhere. Both Colin and the croc were screaming and raising hell...
Finally Colin strangled the croc and let it float to the top like a dead goldfish.
Colin then slowly climbed out of the pool. Everybody was just staring at him in disbelief.
The host says, 'Well, Colin, I reckon I owe you a million dollars.'
'Nah, you all right boss, I don't want it,' said Colin. The rich man said, 'Man, I have to give you something. You won the bet. How about half a million bucks then?'
'No thanks... I don't want it,' answered Colin. The host said, 'Come on, I insist on giving you something. That was amazing. How about a new Porsche and a Rolex and some stock options?
Again, Colin said "No."
Confused, the rich man asked, 'Well Colin, then what do you want?
Colin said, 'I want the bastard who pushed me in.'
Scott Smith, a 48-year-old plumber from Virginia, was arrested on June 22
He had been protesting at a Loudoun County School Board meeting
Smith was dragged out of the room before he could share his point - he says his daughter was sexually assaulted on May 28 by a boy in the girls' bathroom
He wanted to use what happened to her to illustrate why he thinks kids shouldn't be able to pick which gender bathrooms they use
But he was dragged out before he could and has since been vilified for his views
The incident happened at Stone Bridge High School on May 28
He tells The Daily Wire that the boy 'sometimes wears a skirt' and had started using the female bathroom
The school told Smith his daughter had been assaulted but didn't call police
In the end he did, and the boy was charged with multiple counts of sodomy two months after the incident - after the school board meeting
On June 22, Loudoun County school staff said they'd never had a report of of a sexual assault in a trans bathroom
Smith says they were lying, and that he 'exploded with rage'
Two months after the incident, the boy - who has not been named because he is a juvenile - was arrested for forced sodomy
And in October, he was arrested again on different charges for allegedly assaulting a different girl, at a different school

I wouldn't let most school board members wash the dog catcher's truck. And the cops who gleefully push the public around at school board meetings? When the revolution comes, those ones will no longer be allowed to wear shoes or pants.

Mr. Smith may just be the vanguard of armed board meeting attendees.
Interesting how the police elected to respond to an outraged white male plumber in Loudoun County. The 'downstairs people, they simply have no understanding of the needs and desires of our moneyed aristocracy.
[Washington Examiner] A D.C. Metro train partially derailed near Arlington National Cemetery, causing delays on the Blue Line on Tuesday.
There were no reported injuries as of 7:30 p.m. local time, and service between Pentagon and Foggy Bottom is suspended as rescuers evacuate the passengers.
A single car derailed 2,000 feet from the Arlington Cemetery stop in Virginia. Metrorail said to expect delays on the Orange and Silver Lines due to congestion.
Blue Line Delay: Train service suspended between Pentagon and Foggy Bottom due a train derailment outside Arlington Cemetery. Shuttle buses available.
The accident occurred around 5 p.m. with hundreds of people on board. Rescuers will escort the passengers through the tunnel to the station, where shuttle buses can bring them to their desired location.

Blue line delay is actually between Roslyn and the Pentagon.
The Metrorail system was, by 2010, plagued by overcrowding. They solved this by having well publicized accidents and bad service so that by 2019 ridership was about 20% less than in 2010.
In 2020l ridership plummeted to about 25% of the 2019 level. This year ridership is about double 2020 but still way, way, way below capacity.
Of course, passengers must wear face masks which makes the experience more awful.

From a 2001 scientific publication: Geological evidence suggests that during a future eruption, Cumbre Vieja Volcano on the Island of La Palma may experience a catastrophic failure of its west flank, drop- ping 150 to 500 km 3 of rock into the sea. Using a geologi- cally reasonable estimate of landslide motion, we model tsu- nami waves produced by such a collapse. Waves generated by the run-out of a 500 km 3 (150 km 3) slide block at 100 m/s could transit the entire Atlantic Basin and arrive on the coasts of the Americas with 10-25 m (3-8 m) height.
I never get sick of stupidity like this...
[CNBC] - Methane is a major contributor to global heating, and cows produce a lot of it. There may, however, be a way to reduce all that gas: seaweed.
On a research farm at the University of New Hampshire, scientists are feeding cows seaweed in an attempt to reduce the amount of methane they produce.
"We observed a reduction in methane up to 20%," said Andre Brito, associate professor of dairy cattle nutrition and management at UNH. "And 20% is a start. We are exploring different types of seaweeds, and the goal is to use locally produced seaweeds." I'm sure farmers in Iowa are gonna have plenty of seaweed lying around, right?
[Breitbart] Two hundred and forty-five years ago, in a forgotten battle that saved Washington’s Army, a handful of American soldiers accomplished a feat exceptionally rare in history. They successfully prevented an amphibious landing by thousands of British soldiers.
On October 12, 1776, while crouching behind a woodpile, Colonel Edward Hand gazed in astonishment at the sea of Redcoats in front of him. Married to an American, the Irish immigrant doctor had resigned his position as a surgeon’s mate in the British Army immediately before the Revolution began in 1774 and thrown his support to the Patriot cause. Although he and his twenty-five expert marksmen faced more than four thousand British Redcoats intent on landing, Colonel Hand maintained his composure.
Under cover of the morning fog, Lord William Howe had transported his troops by sea up the Long Island Sound to Throgs Point in the Bronx in hopes of trapping the Continental Army in Manhattan after the Battle of Harlem Heights. Fortunately for the Americans, high tide made the peninsula more of an island. To step foot on the mainland, the troops had to cross either a single bridge or a narrow strip of land wide enough for only one or two men at a time.
As soon as the Continentals realized British intentions, they quickly tore up the wooden planks on the bridge, leaving only the causeway to connect the point to the Bronx. A woodpile near the far end of the causeway provided cover, and Hand and his men took full advantage of it. The marksmen picked off the British soldiers one by one as they attempted to cross. Officers, in particular, remained in the riflemen’s sights.
Methodically, the men went through the tedious process of loading and firing their rifles, timing their shots so that someone was always ready to fire on the British troops as they attempted to cross the narrow causeway spanning the marsh in front of them. Small puffs of smoke rose in the air, and the acrid smell of gunpowder infiltrated his nostrils while rifles cracked on either side of him. Taking a scrap of parchment from his pocket, Hand dashed off a note requesting reinforcements and tasked a messenger with delivering it to Washington. He then picked up his weapon and joined his men in their ceaseless efforts to fend off the enemy.
After scrambling out of their eighteenth-century versions of landing craft, the British moved inland. A British officer recorded in his diary that they marched forward until they came a bridge and dam where a small party of Rebels opposed them.
Colonel Hand and his small detachment of Pennsylvania riflemen had been stationed there to guard against such an attempt. Still, they never imagined that the two dozen of them would need to hold off an army. Miraculously, Hand and his crack riflemen managed to check Henry Clinton’s forces long enough for reinforcements. Later that day, 1,800 Massachusetts and New York Continentals arrived, bringing with them two cannon. Those additional Americans included the Marbleheaders.
The full story now told in the new bestselling book, The Indispensables: Marblehead’s Diverse Soldier-Mariners Who Shaped the Country, Formed the Navy, and Rowed Washington Across the Delaware. The book is a Band of Brothers-style treatment of the regiment and the leading revolutionary citizens from Marblehead, a unique largely unknown group of Americans who changed the course of history.
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] The powerful younger brother of deposed late Algerian president Abdelaziz Bouteflika ...10th president-for-life of Algeria. He was elected in 1999 and served on his third or four terms. When he announced for the fifth, or maybe it was the sixth, visibly doddering, a grateful nation rose up in its wrath and threw him out... was sentenced Tuesday to two years in prison for "obstructing the course of justice", the official APS news agency reported.President Bouteflika was forced to resign in the face of mass protests against his bid for a fifth term in office in 2019, and died in September aged 84.
His departure was followed by a string of prosecutions against senior members of his inner circle, most prominently his brother Said who had been seen as the real power behind the throne after the longtime ruler suffered a stroke in 2013.
The prosecution had called for seven years' jail for Said, who was charged with other former officials for "abuse of office", "inciting the falsification of official documents", "obstruction of justice" and "contempt of court".
The main accused at the trial in Dar El Beida, east of Algiers, was former justice minister Tayeb Louh.
He was handed six years in prison while tycoon Ali Haddad was sentenced to two years, APS said. Both were close to the former president.
Ex-inspector general of the ministry of justice Tayeb Belhachemi was also sentenced to two years in prison.
The court acquitted six other defendants.
Said Bouteflika, 63, was arrested in May 2019 and sentenced to 15 years for "plotting against the state and the army" during the final days of his brother's rule.
On January 2, he was acquitted of those charges by a military appeals court, but was handed to a civil court to face trial on corruption charges.
[AlAhram] Defence Minister Hamad Jaber al-Ali al-Sabah said the door had been opened for women to join various combat ranks, including as officers, the Kuwait Armed Forces tweeted
Kuwaiti women will be allowed to enlist in the military in combat roles for the first time after years of having been restricted to civilian roles, the army said Tuesday.
Defence Minister Hamad Jaber al-Ali al-Sabah said the door had been opened for women to join various combat ranks, including as officers, the Kuwait Armed Forces tweeted.
"The time has come for Kuwaiti women to be given the opportunity to enter the Kuwaiti military side by side with their brothers," the minister said in remarks carried by state news agency KUNA.
He expressed confidence in women's "capabilities... and their ability to endure hardship".
Kuwaiti women earned the right to vote in 2005 and have been active both in cabinet and parliament -- though they did not gain any seats in the current parliament.
Unlike other Gulf countries, Kuwait's parliament enjoys legislative power and politicians have been known to challenge the government and royals.

Every few years we read Vladimir Putin, is sick, gravely ill, has cancer, showing signs of Parkinson’s Disease, had a secret emergency surgery and etc...etc..etc...
But like the Energizer Bunny he keeps on moving.
Heck if he is sick, he is still better than what we are calling a US President right now.
Video at the link.
[BBC] - North Korean state media has aired footage of soldiers putting on a display of their combat prowess and ability to smash various objects with their bare hands.
The performance was staged at a defence exhibition in Pyongyang, and watched by leaders including Kim Jong-un.
Besides destroying bricks and tiles, soldiers were seen lying on beds of glass shards and iron nails, with concrete slabs sledgehammered to bits onto their bodies.
The finale showed men bending iron rods with their necks and breaking out of chains.
North Korea media said it was to show enemies that their soldiers had "iron fists to protect the peace of the country".
Though it goes without saying, it's probably best to avoid trying any of these stunts at home.

When it rains, economically speaking, it pours. Can the CCP afford yet another straw on the camel’s back?.
[KhaamaPress] Continuous downpours that triggered floods affected nearly two million people in Shanxi province of China and inflected the province $770 million direct economic loss.
The floods that have reportedly killed 15 people also made 120,000 people evacuate.
The state-run Global Times reported on Tuesday that at least 1.75 million people have been affected by the floods and 19,500 houses collapsed.

As per the information, at least 60 coal mines have been suspended due to the flood.
In addition, an estimated 190,000 hectares of crops were also destroyed.

at least 60 coal mines have been suspended due to the flood.
So these floods are the cause of China's electricity shortages? Or just an aggravating factor?
