National Zoo vaccinates primates against COVID-19
[FoxNews] More species will be vaccinated soon, the National Zoo said.

The Smithsonian's National Zoo and Conservation Biology Institute vaccinated several of their primates against COVID-19 this week, saying it was just the beginning of animal coronavirus inoculations at its locations.

The zoo announced in a press release Friday that staff administered the first round of two-dose shots to 11 animals on Wednesday: seven orangutans, a western lowland gorilla, one white-eared titi monkey and two emperor tamarins.

The vaccine used was developed specifically for animals by Michigan-based veterinary pharmaceutical company Zoetis after the company saw that a dog in China contracted the virus early in the pandemic.

Zoetis said in a press release in July that its shots were authorized on a "case-by-case basis by the United States Department of Agriculture" for an array of zoo animals, but said the shots are "not needed in pets or livestock at this time."

The National Zoo also provided a status update on the lions and tigers under its care that had tested "presumptive positive" for COVID-19 last month, saying the big cats were "recovering well" and "behaving, eating and drinking normally."

"Vaccines will continue to be administered to select animals identified as susceptible species at the Zoo and at the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute in Front Royal, Virginia, in the coming months," the zoo explained, adding that "the lions and tigers will receive the vaccine no sooner than 90 days post-infection."

Zoos in different parts of the country have increasingly been vaccinating myriad species with the Zoetis vaccine.

The Denver Zoo and Oakland Zoo used the jab on some of their animals over the summer, CBS News reported, and the Denver Zoo is planning to do the same.

FOX 35 reported Thursday that ZooTampa has also begun vaccinating its animals.

"Species such as Florida panthers, skunks, otters and primates are on top of the list to vaccinate," Fox 35 reported. "The zoo has received enough doses to vaccinate roughly 19 species which includes 93 animals."

The South African Private Security Industry Regulation Amendment Bill is detrimental to the industry and may result in job losses
[Freedom Front] The Private Security Industry Regulation Amendment Bill that was signed into law by President Cyril Ramaphosa yesterday, is not well thought out and could deal the industry a severe blow. The amendments are based on unfounded information about, among other things, shares in the industry that are reportedly held by foreign companies and could result in great job losses.

Regarding the government's argument that foreign shareholding of more than 50% poses a threat to South Africa's state security, July's unrest and riots showed that the biggest threat to the state lies in its own ranks.

Even in the draft phase of the Bill, important information about the extent of foreign shareholding and how many job losses would result could not be provided to the Portfolio Committee on Police. No research had been conducted.

In addition, the fast-growing private security industry is of the ANC government's own making seeing as it failed to combat crime and ensure the public's safety effectively.

In South Africa, there are presently about three security guards for every one police officer due to the fact that the ANC government failed to perform its constitutional duty to protect the public against criminals. As a result, the people pay double for their safety and security.

At a time when the unemployment rate in South Africa is among the highest in the world and crime is flourishing due to a lack of effective police action, there is no logic in the President signing the Bill. It shows that he is ignorant of what the actual crime situation in South Africa is like. It is ordinary citizens, the ones who are not surrounded by bodyguards, whose safety is threatened.

Various companies' vested interests have been jeopardised, so stakeholders will most probably put the amendment to the test in the Constitutional Court.
Foreign ownership concerns among people living under communist domination. Imagine that !

Natives of Chechnya suspected of attempted lynching of a policeman after an accident in Yugra
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.

The video of the incident with the policeman in Pyt-Yakh was published today by the Baza Telegram channel. It shows how a group of people surrounded a traffic police car with a policeman inside.

Many are behaving aggressively, trying to get into the seden, pulling at the doors, and shouts from the crowd are heard: "He will not go anywhere." A security officer in uniform is standing near the car. "This video shows an attempted lynching of a policeman in the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug.

The support group of a native of Chechnya demands that the police give them an inspector of the Ministry of Internal Affairs so that they can personally understand all the circumstances of the accident," reads the annotation to the video. 

The report also indicates that the accident occurred through the fault of a security official, a native of Ukraine, who collided in his car with a Lada Granta, which belongs to a native of Chechnya. 

In an accident, a senior police lieutenant received a pearl of his leg, he was hospitalized. "His condition is satisfactory, life is not in danger," the source quoted News.ru. The second participant in the accident was also injured, but hospitalization was not required, the source said.

Ukraine to increase punishment for smugglers
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Korrespondent] The head of state believes that "the legislation of Ukraine that is loyal to smugglers must be changed."

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy initiates the introduction of punishment in the form of 20 years in prison for smuggling. This was announced on Friday, October 15, by the chairman of the National Security and Defense Council Alexei Danilov during a break between the broadcasts of the political talk show Svoboda Savik Shuster.

Danilov noted that the president considers Ukrainian legislation too loyal to smugglers and proposes to tighten it.

"After we introduced sanctions against smugglers in April, customs revenues to the state budget increased by UAH 47 billion. We would like it to be more, but for now the figure is this. And we will not stop there," he said. Danilov.

Danilov also announced that "certain individuals will lose their positions" in the fight against smuggling.

"This is such a complex legacy, the system is built. It is such an octopus, which is extremely difficult to fight. They all know each other, they have been there for years. And when we took someone by the tail, it’s like a hydra - it grows a new tail," - said the NSDC secretary.

Let us remind you that flight attendants who tried to import contraband iPhones into Ukraine were detained at the Boryspil airport.

Government Corruption
Philadelphia to Ban Police Stops For Minor Traffic Violations Because of 'Equity'
[PJ] If you have a broken brake light or headlight in Philadelphia, you no longer have to worry that you’ll be pulled over by police. The city council just passed a measure that would prevent the police from stopping anyone for a host of "minor" traffic offenses.

The impetus for the change comes from a single study performed by the Defender Association of Philadelphia. The group gives free legal representation to defendants in the city. They found that a disproportionate number of black drivers were stopped compared to white drivers.

WHY:
Black drivers represented 72% of the stops with an arrest rate of 1%, according to Bradford-Grey. Only 15% of the stops were white drivers with a .98% arrest rate.

When it came to tickets issued because of these stops, Black drivers made up 9% of tickets while white drivers made up 14% of fines issued.

"When they stopped white drivers, they were for more legitimate purposes and they actually did things that advance those public safety measures," said former Chief Defender Keir Bradford-Grey testified Wednesday at a hearing convened by the City Council’s Committee on Public Safety. The hearing drew many supporters, including Philadelphia Police Department officials who had questioned the bill in the past.

The police are happy with the law because it makes their jobs safer and frees them up to tackle more serious criminal activity. But viewing a list of infractions that will no longer be enforced raises serious questions.

#3 
In all honesty why waste time stopping any person for a simple tail light violation. When in this day and age a photo of the License tag and burnt out light can be mailed to the violator victim. If they don't pay in 90 days, then issue a stop and detain and impound warrant.

It also cuts down on the #1 or #2 most common police location that results a LEO shooting and BLM riots.

With that said Philadelphia's Demographics.


40.1% Black alone 541,127
34.2% White alone 241,425
15.2% Hispanic 118,944
7.5% Asian alone

#4 on the list of "Top 101 cities with the highest number of arson incidents per 100,000 population

#6  Broken tail light etc. have long been a standard legal excuse to pull over someone you want a closer look at (I was pulled for a burnt out license plate light not long ago, the trooper and I were respectful with each other, he took a quick look around my van and determined I wasn't hauling illegal aliens or bales of pot, and gave me a warning ticket.) As such, I suspect the SJWs are right that the inequity of stops is 'unjust'. That said, there is no inequity of violations charged - 1% for both groups. Left unsaid is anything about the number of serious arrests- murder warrant fugitives etc. - made as a result of such stops.
Curious that this automotive 'stop & frisk' is going away just as Biden's $600 account financial 'stop & frisk' is starting up.

I've never been stopped for a burned-out light, but I bet if I was, and said "Office, I'll fix it right now," and showed him / her I could, I'd be told to get lost and do it at home, not on the side of the road.

#9  I was stopped at night by a State Trooper because I had no trailer lights. For some reason my trailer brakes locked up while driving that night (it is an enclosed horse trailer) and the only way I could get them to unlock was to unplug the truck to trailer connection. I was about 8 miles from home. I showed him that when I plugged the trailer in the wheels locked yp. He told me to spend about 15 minutes looking like I was working on it and the to drive carefully. I have plenty of reflectors on the back.

Texas House passes bill banning transgender athletes from participating in school sports based on their gender identity
[Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News]
  • The Texas House approved legislation, titled HB 25 on Thursday that would restrict transgender student athlete participation in school sports

  • House Bill 25, backed by Texas Republicans passed with a 76-54 vote after ten hours of emotional debate

  • It largely focuses on preventing trans girls from participate in female sports

  • Texas is home to the second-largest LGBTQ population in the country

  • The new law still needs final approval from the Texas Senate, which has previously approved similar legislation.

  • Eight states, all backed by Republican legislatures, have brought legislation targeting transgender athletes into effect, while South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem signed an executive order similar to those laws in March this year

Tel Aviv SlutWalk marches against sexual violence: Nothing invites rape
[JP] Hundreds of women gathered Friday morning at Atarim Square, the former home of the infamous Pussycat strip club, for Tel Aviv’s annual SlutWalk. Women marched under the title "SlutWalk Tel Aviv: Nothing is an invitation to rape" holding signs that read “it is not your fault” and “end femicide,” and chanting “no means no.”

"Thousands of people have gathered today who believe that it is time to end the culture of blame and start believing victims," said Kulan head Bracha Barad who produced the event. "We are here to yell for those who did not have a voice and for those who still do not. Nothing is an invitation to rape, and no one is at fault for being hurt."

Kulan, which means all of them (feminine), is an Israeli movement that promotes feminist discourse.

Bell 360 Invictus Is Set To Be the Army's New Attack Reconnaissance Chopper
[Interesting Engineering] Lethal. Sustainable. Affordable. Three words Bell used to describe its recently-unveiled upgraded 360 Invictus stealth helicopter model.

Showcasing the 360 Invictus at the recent AUSA 2021 Annual Meeting & Exposition in Washington, D.C., Bell disclosed its 360 Invictus program is moving swiftly through manufacturing, assembly, components testing, and system integrations. It looks like the U.S. Army will receive its new helicopter on time in the fall for future stealth attack reconnaissance missions.

"The Bell 360 Invictus is an exciting aircraft that brings sophisticated digital systems together in a high-speed, reliable, maintainable vehicle for austere environments around the world," Jayme Gonzalez, program manager of Bell 360 Invictus, said to Defence Blog.
