Shocking figures show the number of people carrying knives or sharp objects in Lincolnshire has increased by 20 per cent.
A total of 212 crimes were recorded in 2018 in relation to possession, compared to 175 in 2017.
However, new data does Lincolnshire is one of the safest places in the country in regards to knife crime, with just 33 knife or sharp instrument incidents per 100,000 population.
This is compared to 73 nationally.
Lincolnshire Police are backing Operation Sceptre this week, March 11 through 17, taking part in a nation-wide campaign to take action against the illegal possessions of knives.
Over the next week officers will be in Lincoln, Grantham and Boston speaking to local residents to raise awareness.
Chief Inspector Steve Williamson said: “Carrying knives changes lives. If someone chooses to carry a knife, a minor issue can quickly escalate into something much more serious, have fatal consequences and ruin lives.
“Although Lincolnshire experiences much less knife crime than the country’s larger cities, we still do everything within our power to tackle knife crime as the impact on communities can be devastating.
“This is about getting knives off our streets and keeping communities safe – if you suspect someone is carrying a weapon please report it straight away.”
Police and Crime Commissioner Marc Jones said: “In 2018 we saw an increase of 21% where someone had been found in possession of a knife or a blade.
“This is in large part because of the proactive focus of Lincolnshire Police in detecting people who choose to carry weapons.
“In the future they’ll be further improving the way they target frequent offenders too, enabling the frontline to use their powers to search them at every opportunity.
“Maintaining a grip on removing weapons from our streets is vital to ensuring Lincolnshire remains as one of the safety places to live and should be applauded."
Nationally there was just under 40,000 incidents involving knives which took place in 2018, with 89 per cent of these crimes either being robbery or violent assault.

While the benefits of stretching are often disputed, there are some definite benefits to regular stretching. First of all, stretching increases blood flow to muscles and requires no equipment so it can be done anywhere. It also can help ease low back pain, reduce stress, and improve mood. As an added bonus stretching increases flexibility and range of motion, and may even help reduce the risk of falls. Finally, stretching is a great way to improve posture. With that being said, here is a list of things to remember about stretching:
- Never stretch a cold muscle; always warm up first. Think of your muscles as rubber bands. The warmer they are the less likely they are to snap. It is also recommended not to stretch before intense activities such as sprinting. It is thought that this may reduce performance. Stretching at the end of your work out is ideal.
- Stretch both sides equally and aim for equal flexibility on both sides.
- Never bounce during a stretch. Instead, hold each stretch anywhere from 30-60 seconds.
- Don’t overstretch. You should feel tension not pain.
- Make your stretches sport specific. For example, if you are a runner make sure to stretch glutes, hamstrings, quads, and hip flexors.
- Stretch regularly; at least 2-3 times a week.
- If you are injured, be sure to stretch gently, or change your stretching technique to accommodate for the injury.
- Try stretching in a new way (try yoga or tai chi).
- Make sure you relax and breathe while you are stretching.

FBI agents were searching for classified documents concerning nuclear weapons when feds raided former President Donald Trump’s Florida mansion, a report said Thursday.
People familiar with the investigation told The Washington Post that the sensitive documents were among the items pursued by the FBI in Monday’s raid.
Both the bureau and the Justice Department have faced mounting pressure to release more information since the raid at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate.
The unnamed sources didn’t provide more details about the specific information sought in the raid. They also did not disclose whether the documents pertained to weapons from the US or another country.
It was also unclear on Thursday night whether the classified documents were discovered by agents in the raid.
The latest reported revelation comes after Attorney General Merrick Garland said Thursday he “personally approved” the search warrant that led to the unprecedented raid of Trump’s home.
He also said the Justice Department would request a federal judge unseal copies of the warrant. A judge told the Justice Department to let the court know by 3 p.m. Friday if Trump objected to the public disclosure.
An ex-Justice Department official told the Washington Post that top-secret intel like nuclear information would cause law enforcement to quickly want to recover any sensitive documents that could harm US security.
“If that is true, it would suggest that material residing unlawfully at Mar-a-Lago may have been classified at the highest classification level,” said David Laufman, the former head of the Justice Department’s counterintelligence section.
“If the FBI and the Department of Justice believed there were top secret materials still at Mar-a-Lago, that would lend itself to greater ‘hair-on-fire’ motivation to recover that material as quickly as possible,” he said.
The same day Garland defended the feds against relentless criticism of the raid, an armed man attempted to storm an FBI office in Cincinnati before he fled.
The suspect, identified as Ricky Shiffer, called for violence against the feds following the search at Trump’s home, according to reports. Shiffer was ultimately shot dead by police Thursday hours after the attempted breach.

The Tennessee Titans have won the sweepstakes for Ken Whisenhunt as he was hired as their new head coach on Monday afternoon.
Whisenhunt, 51, the offensive coordinator of the San Diego Chargers, who were eliminated on Sunday, had been believed all along to be the frontrunner for the Detroit Lions.
Instead, the Titans hired Whisenhunt and will officially introduce him as the 17th coach in franchise history at a press conference on Tuesday.
Titans president and CEO Tommy Smith issued a statement via the team's website, saying “This is a big day for this franchise. Ken is a well-respected coach in this league and I am looking forward to seeing his vision become reality for this team. He has a history of building successful offenses and took Arizona to a Super Bowl as a head coach. We all share a common goal for this team and that is to build a consistent winner. I want to thank Ruston (Webster) for his hard work in the process and the quality candidates that he brought in for interviews.”
Whisenhunt brings a history of having had success with quarterbacks, having revitalized Philip Rivers just this season after being fired in 2012 as the head coach of the Arizona Cardinals.
It was a shared vision of football philosophy that led Webster to pursue Whisenhunt as his new coach.
“I have a lot of respect for Ken as a coach and as an offensive mind,” he said. “The traits that stand out to me when identifying him as our next coach – he is intelligent, has a track record with quality offenses and head coaching success. I really enjoyed our meeting on Friday night in San Diego and we share similar philosophies about the game. Additionally, we have several mutual colleagues that have spoken highly to me about Ken both as a coach and as a person. I am excited about Ken joining us and the future of the Titans.”
Whisenhunt had success with the mostly woeful Cardinals franchise, taking them to a Super Bowl in the 2008 season, using the passing of Kurt Warner, another quarterback that he helped to rejuvenate in the latter stages of his career. Whisenhunt also helped Ben Roethlisberger develop into an elite quarterback as offensive coordinator of the Pittsburgh Steelers.
In Tennessee, Whisenhunt will be charged with working with Jake Locker to try and continue his growth track as a quarterback. Locker is currently rehabbing a foot injury that he had surgery on, but is optimistic that he will be ready to go by mini-camp in June.
He inherits an offense that has some pieces in place, including a rebuilt offensive line that might wind up being coached by long-time Whisenhunt ally Russ Grimm. The Titans still have to decide what to do with running back Chris Johnson, who is due $8 million. They also have young receivers in Kendall Wright and Justin Hunter.
Wright said he is excited about Whisenhunt, and lobbied for him to keep receivers coach Shawn Jefferson.
"I don't know much about him, but it should be exciting, especially for us as receivers if we keep Coach Jefferson," Wright said.
Whisenhunt compiled a 45-51 mark in six seasons as the Cardinals head coach. Two members of that Cardinals' staff have been speculated about as possibly reuniting with Whisenhunt. Offensive line coach Russ Grimm held that position in Arizona and Ray Horton was Whisenhunt's defensive coordinator. He spent last year with the Cleveland Browns, who fired their coach Rob Chudzinski the day the season ended. Horton runs a 3-4 scheme.
Whisenhunt has ties to Nashville as he once served as an assistant coach at Vanderbilt University on Rod Dowhower's staff.
Webster also interviewed Cincinnati Bengals defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer on Thursday and Baltimore Ravens offensive coordinator Jim Caldwell on Wednesday. Jay Gruden, who interviewed with the Titans on Tuesday, was named the Washington Redskins head coach last week.
Also, the Titans were believed to be interested in Seattle Seahawks defensive coordinator Dan Quinn and Seahawks offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell, but neither interviewed because the Titans did not fire Mike Munchak during the Seahawks' playoff bye week. That meant that neither could be interviewed until Seattle was finished with its postseason run.

Living and Working in Chicago no Longer Manageable for Police
Should residency now be a human rights issue for Chicago Police?
In July 2016, protests across the country in response to several fatal shootings by police intensified. Led by radical-left group Black Lives Matter, demonstrations took place in several major American cities, including Dallas.
As one rally that was held near El Centro College in downtown Dallas ended on July 7, 2016, Micah Xavier Johnson began shooting police officers. When the carnage ended, Johnson's death toll included five police officers. Additionally, in Johnson's shooting spree, nine police and two civilians were wounded before Johnson was killed.
It was the deadliest incident against law enforcement since the September 11, 2001, attacks. The Chief of the Dallas Police Department at the time was David Brown, who now serves as the superintendent of the Chicago Police Department.
Johnson’s attack harkens back to the late 1960s and early 70s, when attacks on police by revolutionary groups like the Black Panthers skyrocketed. Indeed, in both tactics and rhetoric, Black Lives Matter is a modern reincarnation of the Panthers.
There is every indication that these attacks on the police will not only continue but escalate. The history of the Black Panthers is instructive.
"From the very beginning, the Black Panthers tried to incite violent confrontations with the police to achieve their aims. They openly advocated the killing of police officers as a form of political protest and “justice,” and with the murder of Officer Frey by Black Panthers Minister of Defense Huey Newton, they made good on the threat. In fact, Officer Frey’s murder was the first in a string of at least 19 murders of law enforcement officers at the hands of Black Panthers, who also wounded more in ambush attacks."
Today, urban centers across the country are once again awash in the same kind of anti-police hysteria that consumed America’s inner cities when the Black Panthers was an ascendant political organ in the late 1960s. Though most of the allegations against the police that form the basis of these riots and protests are false, created and pushed relentlessly by an unprincipled media that essentially acts as public relations for the radical groups, in many ways the nasty game against the police has intensified. This is one stark difference from the era of the Black Panthers and now: The media and most elected officials in Chicago and Illinois are in complete alignment with the rioters. This support offered by media and elected officials is aggravating the risk police face from decades ago when police only faced the threat from the Black Panthers.
In this radicalized political atmosphere, it is simply too much to force police officers to work and live in the same city. Under the dangerous and prohibitive residency rules mandating officers must also live within city limits, Chicago police live under a pressure of attacks every day and night.
Consider the following over the past seven days:
On March 15, an off-duty police officer was shot in his vehicle on the 8900 block of South Stoney Island. Days earlier, an off-duty police officer in Peterson Park observed several people inside his parked car in front of his house. An offender from a second vehicle pulled a gun on the officer, who fired at the offender, but did not strike him. On Saturday, March 20, in a third shooting incident in a one-week period, a police officer was shot in the Austin neighborhood.
The last seven days follows a pattern that demonstrates an increase in the frequency in attacks on police over the last several years:
In August 2020, an off-duty police officer was carjacked in Bronzeville and fired his weapon at the offenders.
In October 2020, an off-duty Chicago police officer was carjacked at gunpoint in Calumet Heights.
Officer John Rivera was shot and killed inside his car in the River North neighborhood in March 2019.
In 2019, a police officer was followed from his worksite and an offender shot at him on the south side.
Lastly, the tragic signs of stress on police emerged in the last month as two officers took their own lives. These incidents point to a simmering threat to the mental and physical well-being of all police officers, even off duty. Officers living in the city make every effort to conceal what they do for a living, leaving nothing in their cars that would indicate they are members of law enforcement, lest they find the car vandalized or items stolen. Officers protect their address from public documents, fearful it could fall into the hands of gang member they have arrested or a member of his crew. Their concern for their safety influences where they live, shop, dine, and socialize.
An immediate end to the residency requirement would provide a much needed and deserved pressure release for officers. The end of this archaic policy should be granted without a trade off in contract negotiations. It should be implemented as a human rights issue for the police, as the summer approaching is likely to become one of the most violent in decades, with Chicago police officers at the front lines of potentially well-organized and violent anti-police groups.
While elected officials in Chicago, Cook County and Illinois have kowtowed to the anti-police movement more than any other municipality in the country, the threats of a violent crime wave this summer and the grim signs of civil unrest reminiscent of last summer, should compel these officials to demonstrate the courage and foresight in granting officers the right to live outside the city and not be under siege 24 hours a day.
This would be a good first step in demonstrating that Chicago’s leaders are serious about keeping Chicago and its guardians safe.

Grade 4-8-Presented by the St. Charles Players, this is an example of radio theatre at its finest. The narration moves the abbreviated story along at a brisk, easy-to-follow pace, while the highly polished troupe of actors offers a colorful array of voices and British dialectsAfrom Cockney low-lives to privileged members of the aristocracy. Sound effects and music add spark to the production. Although this version is only about one-third the length of the original, both the story line and the picture of British social conditions and injustices during Dickens's time come through vividly as young Oliver makes his way from the desolation of a workhouse for orphans to Fagin's den of thieves in London and, finally, to the comfort and security of life with an honorable gentleman. As such, it is bound to whet the appetites of upper elementary and middle school youngsters who will be intrigued into reading the original. It also offers, through drama, an enjoyable way of understanding history and should stimulate lively discussions on the relationship between dire poverty and a life of crime.

From the start I was instantly drawn in by Dickens' humor and sarcasm. The way he'd mock those who mistreated Oliver by pretending to agree with them and that their intentions were noble. It had this amazing capacity to engage me and make me scorn the dirty rotten characters who sought to bully Oliver, while never making less of the suffering that was going on.
I was horrified, as much as a person can be by a fictional story, of the way people treated each other, those less fortunate, and the children in their care.
When Mr. Brownlow enters the picture, it allowed for some relief and also the continued feel of realism by having not all characters be evil.
The book is much too long to go over in detail, so I'll try and hit on just some key stuff.
I kept picturing Mr. Bumble as Mr. Smee(having him be that goofy looking and sound like that). And Fagin was Gollum with his constant groveling and "my dear" while all the time seeking to get the upperhand and wanting to kill those over him.
I loved Oliver's heart and how he strove to be good in a world that was trying to corrupt him. I smiled when reading about how he ran around helping Rose and Mrs. Maylie. I could picture that youthful enthusiasm.
Nancy's fate, though I knew it already, hit me harder than it ever had. There was something in the way it was told that was so . . . morbid. It was so terrible that the criminals couldn't even deal with it and everyone was ready to have Sikes captured.
The final chapters after that event where Sikes is fleeing from real and imaginary foes, and then the scene in London as he's at last cornered was just wow. So intense that I read it twice. Once to myself, and once outloud to my husband who I pulled down beside me going, "Oh my gosh!!! You've got to hear this!"
Really, the whole book was extremely well-written, but those chapters there were above and beyond. They were the best, most passionate, most real and heart-pounding of the story.
It was nice to see justice dolled out to most of the buggers who'd been so nasty throughout the book, and the good rewarded. Though there was some grey where the good didn't win out and the evil escaped(Sowerberry's and Charlotte/Noah). There was also a nice redemption story for one of the crinimals and a second chance for another who blew it, but you can't say he wasn't given the chance.
So many good things about this book, though I'll always be sad about Nancy.
Therefore, many versions of Oliver Twist had passed before my eyes, until I decided to set forth with Charles Dickens's original novel. Getting a full and firm grasp of Oliver's Twist's adventures. His departure from that workhouse where he came to birth; then his job as coffin maker until he escaped for a life in London. To make a fortune that would end him up the city's slums, at Mr.Fagin's hands until Mr. Brownlow would rescue him temporarily. Indeed, Fagin, his associate Bill Sykes, and another sinister individual named Monks intend to retrieve Oliver. To introduce him into a life of crime for grave reasons.
On its cover, Oliver Twist is a picaresque story of virtue, where we wonder if the good and pure Oliver will ever be tempted to the dark vices of London. But through its lines, it is a chance for us to witness the terrible class issues between the poor and rich in London, of the prejudices that surround them as the Industrial Revolution takes place within the United Kingdom in the early 1800's.
Personally, I was surprised to see how the story's first half focuses on Oliver's point of view until the second half where instead secondary characters take his place. Nancy, Bill Sykes, Fagin, and others like Monks who was only present in one of the two cartoons adaptations I had seen. Regarding that latter character, many movies like Carol Reed, Roman Polanski, and the Emerald City cartoon omit Monks whose plot creates a mystery layer to Oliver's adventures.
For years, I wondered why not many adaptations ever offered that character a chance. Why Dickens abandoned Oliver's presence in the second half of his novel. But after rereading the book, I realized that Monks's plot might have been too much complicated to introduce in a one hour or two film adaptation, unlike a TV mini-series whose many episodes could offer the story a better justice. As for Oliver, he is firstly a character who experiences other people's actions rather than a proactive figure. And with the way Dickens unfolded the story monthly and considering where Oliver ends up, only other characters could bring forth a sense of suspense for the readers and do what his age and situation couldn't allow him to do. Secondly, secondary persons like Fagin, Oliver's protectors, Nancy, and Bill Sykes reveal more of the reality Dickens wanted to expose and which many in England were not ready to acknowledge. A reality that is still actual though with another form of technology available.
Of the editions to read, I suggest buyers to consider any release with George Cruishank's original drawings (ASIN number: B00ES29BB0) that appeared in Dicken's original press releases when he wrote as Boz. Indeed, the illustrations are clear and detail well the prose's tension and the story's setting, so much that I cannot read Dicken's book without the other as each complement one another. A piece of cultural artwork that should be praised as much as this classic.

By looking like a cowboy, a rocker, a guy who rides a surfboard, the type of guy who loves to ride but isnt a surfer, or someone who just likes to rock, colorado tattoos can be a great way to advertise to any potential female suitors.
This one-of-a-kind tattoo artist has created 100,000 colorado tattoos in the USA alone, and we all know how well that works out for guys who are looking to get a new tattoo. However, if you’re not a guy with a colorado tattoo, then you may not want to try this one.
The colorado tattoo is the creation of artist Mark Stenglein. He has a passion for creating colorado tattoos that is a little more than just a hobby. He goes about creating them by giving the tattoos the right tone, texture, and feel of a traditional tattoo. He then makes the final choices of the artist himself.
The colorado tattoo is a pretty common tattoo that people do for themselves. If you have a colorado tattoo, you can pretty much put whatever color you want on it. The colorado tattoo is the most commonly used tattoo in Colorado, but there are plenty of other colors to choose from as well. However, the colorado tattoo is not without its drawbacks.
Colorado does not have a standard colorado tattoo. The artist has to choose the color you want, and since there is no standard, the tattoo has to be an exact match. This means that you can’t get a colorado tattoo that is actually a shade of blue, or you can’t have a colorado tattoo that is actually a shade of brown.
Although it’s a pain in the butt, tattooing a colorado tattoo is the most natural way to express yourself. The colorado tattoo is a way to let your body speak for itself. Colorado tattoos are used to let you know that you are important to those around you. Colorado tattoos are used to let you know that your skin is a piece of art and that you can do something to show that you care.

Colorados are known for their colorful tattoos, but the most famous one is the “Colorado Blue” which is a color called “Vermont Blue”. This tattoo is a vivid blue, which means that it is probably not a Colorado or Vermont blue. There is also a color called “Colorado Yellow”, but I’m not sure if this one is a Colorado or Vermont yellow.


Emulating the ‘style, notes, energy’ of Chicago, Brass Transit aims to play ‘hit after hit’ aided by GR Symphony in the weekend concert at DeVos Performance Hall. The Local Spins interview.

Support our coverage of
West Michigan's music scene
The music of Chicago resonates with brassy horns, rocking rhythm section and soaring vocals.
The orchestra and tribute band have performed together previously, so Grand Rapids Symphony Principal Pops Conductor Bob Bernhardt knows just how impressively Brass Transit unfurls Chicago’s music.
“They’re pros: They know the style, notes, energy. They do this for fun. The orchestra charts are excellent,” Bernhardt says.
Brass Transit bandleader Tony Carlucci calls the orchestral treatment a different feel for the band, and an added benefit for the audience.
“Our show doesn’t change. It’s just an augmented auditory experience,” he says.
The concert begins at 7:30 p.m. Saturday. Tickets, $19-$104, available online here.
Carlucci began playing trumpet when he was 9, and by his teens he was a regular in Toronto’s musical theater scene and was playing with Canada’s Youth Orchestra. He graduated from the music program at Humber College and became a regular part of the studio and TV scene in Toronto.
He’d grown up with the jazz-rock sound of Blood, Sweat & Tears, Tower of Power, Chase and similar bands of his native country, such as Lighthouse. His favorite was Chicago, and even after a career that saw him perform with everyone from Corey Hart and the Fabulous Thunderbirds to Percy Sledge and the Drifters, he longed for the sounds of the horn bands of the ’70s.
So in 2008, he enlisted several of his musical compatriots from the Toronto studios to pay homage to Chicago. Carlucci booked a few gigs just to show the band off. But it soon grew beyond his wildest dreams, and the band has been playing across the continent ever since.
“When I first heard Chicago, I was blown away by the sound of three guys: It was a huge, huge sound. That turned me on and propelled me into the pop world,” he says.
Brass Transit has recorded two albums. The first is a set of well-known songs of the ’70s such as “Hello It’s Me” and “Doctor My Eyes” as well as hits by Canadian hitmakers such as the Guess Who and Gino Vanelli, all rearranged in the style of Chicago. The second gives fans a taste of what the audience will hear at the upcoming show: “The Symphony Sessions” features Chicago hits such as “Make Me Smile” and “Old Days” arranged to incorporate orchestra.
A ‘GENEROUS’ 20-SONG CONCERT THAT BECOMES ‘A PARTY’
The orchestra loves the occasional opportunity to perform live with a band such as Brass Transit, says Bernhardt, who grew up with the music of the ’50s and ’60s, and finds keeping that music alive gratifying and exciting. “I’m a big fan of the band, and now of Brass Transit. I’ve worked with them three times in the past and I love the show,” he says.
The band’s keyboardist and backing vocalist, Don Breithaupt, and his occasional substitute, Lou Pomanti, handle arrangements for the orchestra. Like Carlucci and the rest of the band, both are veterans of the studio scene. Breithaupt leads the Steely Dan-esque band Monkey House and has written three books on popular music of the ’70s, one a defining look at his favorite album, Steely Dan’s “Aja.”
Pomanti has written, performed and produced music by Michael Bublé, singer and songwriter Marc Jordan and Anne Murray, among others. He also co-leads another tribute band with Carlucci: Oakland Stroke plays music by Tower of Power along with other ’70s-era horn-fueled bands like Blood, Sweat & Tears, Earth, Wind and Fire, and Chicago.
Carlucci says the arrangements add to the sound, not just pasted on. “Sometimes the originals had strings,” says Carlucci, pointing to “If You Leave Me Now” as an example. He said the arrangements augment the band with strings, woodwinds and French horns.
“The meat of Chicago is the big fat brass sound. We didn’t want (orchestra) to step on our toes. We’re looking for textures, not competition.”
Bernhardt and Carlucci agree that the sounds of the classic jazz-rock bands like BS&T and Chicago still move audiences today. “The audience is listening to music we all lived. We’re there with them, in the same boat,” Carlucci says.
It all adds up to performances that Bernhardt says audiences really get into.
“It’s hit after hit after hit. It’s a generous show, 20 songs. It’s a concert and a party.”

Dozens of demonstrators gathered outside the Cambridge Police station on Sunday, calling for change following the death of a 20-year-old college student who was shot by police earlier this month.
Sayed Faisal, a student at the University of Massachusetts Boston, was shot and killed on Jan. 4 while advancing on officers with what police described as a kukri knife. Police reportedly tried to subdue Faisal with a “less lethal” form of ammunition before shooting and killing him.
Protestors lofted signs reading “Justice for Faisal” and “Justice for all victims” before heading inside Cambridge Police headquarters. The crowd sang songs and called for new police protocol when dealing with emotionally disturbed individuals.
“Right now they are on paid vacation they are on paid administrative leave. What we really need is for them to be fired right away just like the officers that murdered Tyre Nichols are and for them to be prosecuted to the full extent of the law,” one protestor told Boston 25.
An independent judicial inquest into the shooting has been initiated. The findings of that inquest will be forwarded to the Middlesex district attorney’s office to decide whether charges are warranted, a process that could take a year or more.
Faisal, who was known as Prince by his family, was an only child who was never violent and had never been involved with law enforcement before, his parents said in a statement released by the Council on American-Islamic Relations earlier this month.
Authorities have not released the name of the officer who opened fire. The officer, who is on paid administrative leave, is a seven-year department veteran who has never been the subject of a citizen’s complaint, according to Cambridge Police.
According to the preliminary investigation, police received a 911 call early January 4 from a resident who reported seeing a man jumping out of an apartment window with a machete which he appeared to be using to cut himself.
Officers and paramedics found the man, identified as Faisal, bleeding in an alley.
Faisal saw police, who requested that he drop the weapon, and ran for several blocks.
He then reportedly moved toward the police while still holding the weapon, even when they fired a less-than-lethal round at him. He continued to advance and one officer fired a gun, striking Faisal, who later died at a hospital, authorities said.
This is a developing story. Check back for updates as more information becomes available.

Chapter 741 - Jasmine that Escaped from the Devilish Nightmare
Demon Imperial City, Illusory Demon Realm.
Three months had already pa.s.sed since Yun Che brought Xiao Yun and the Under Heaven siblings away from the Illusory Demon Realm.
In the period of three months, the bloodshed in Demon Imperial City gradually stopped, and A peace that hasn't been seen in a hundred years appeared. The Little Demon Empress had also become the absolute supreme existence in the entire Illusory Demon Realm; no one dared to go against her, and no one could go against her.
“...The last heretical disciples have already been found at the southend of the city and were executed. The nineteen heretical disciples placed here by the Profound Sky Continent have all been removed! Out of the nineteen, eleven of them came from Supreme Ocean Palace, one of the Sacred Grounds, and the other eight came from Mighty Heavenly Sword Region.”
Within the great hall, Mu Yubai kneeled on one knee and respectfully reported to the Little Demon Empress. The reason why they knew it was nineteen was through the Yun Family’s Profound Handle Soul Search. After finding the first one, they were able to know their exact number, their purpose, the approximate location of the others, how they arrived, as well as what they did.
The Little Demon Empress wore a pure golden dress with purple crystals decorating her hair. There was a glowing red ribbon tied around her waist, and her entire body released an air of luxury and solemnity. Her snow white face was beyond beautiful despite not having any makeup on, her lips were like cherry petals, and her eyes were like the cold stars; although the former deadly silence and power weren’t there anymore, her eyes were still cold. No one would doubt that if these pretty eyes could smile, it would be able to charm anything, and perhaps captivate the entire world.
However, the softness of her beautiful eyes would only blossom for Yun Che.
“Directly executed? This is the last heretical disciple, was the Profound Handle Soul Search performed?” the Little Demon Empress asked. Her cold eyes seemed to have caught onto the abnormality in Mu Yubai’s eyes.
“In reply to the Little Demon Empress, before he was executed, the Profound Handle Soul Search has been conducted,” Mu Yubai momentarily paused, revealing worry on his face. “From what he said, we acquired bad news.”
“Speak.” The Little Demon Empress’s beautiful face, which could not be described with words, was full of coldness and stunning solemnity, lacking any sort of expression.
Mu Yubai cautiously said, “These heretical disciples from the Profound Sky Continent carried an extremely special kind of sound transmission stone. Sealed within it was an extremely powerful sound transmission profound formation which allowed them to directly transmit sound from our Illusory Demon Realm to the Profound Sky Continent. This sort of sound transmission stone is extremely rare and valuable, and it would use up all the profound energy in one go. When we executed the eleven people from Supreme Ocean Palace, according to the Profound Handle Soul Search, in total, they brought seven of this kind of special sound transmission stones and consumed them all in a year and three months prior. The last message they sent to the Profound Sky Continent was before the Demon Empress Ceremony had begun.”
“You have said this several months before. Why are you mentioning it once again? Were the sound transmission stones from Mighty Heavenly Sword Region not used up?” The Little Demon Empress’s frowned slightly.
“Yes.” Mu Yubai nodded, his tense eyebrows did not relax. “The eight people from Mighty Heavenly Sword Region only brought three sound transmission stones, but after a hundred years, they only used two. As for the last one… it was used three months ago!”
“What!?” The Little Demon Empress’s expression immediately turned sullen; she clearly knew what this meant.
“Furthermore, it was unfortunate that... in the final sound transmission, that person emphasized on things about Yun Che! It was extremely thorough… Including his ident.i.ty as a son of the Yun Family, that he came from the Profound Sky Continent, brought back the Demon King’s remains from Blue Wind Nation, stopped Duke Huai’s revolution, received the Golden Crow’s legacy, and married the Little Demon Empress… It was all transmitted back to the Profound Sky Continent!!”
These things weren’t some kind of secret in the Illusory Demon Realm; in fact, it could be said that everyone knew about it! Within the Illusory Demon Realm, everyone knew the Little Demon Empress like everyone knew about the first Demon Emperor in the Illusory Demon Realm’s history!
The Little Demon Empress’s cold gaze became even more icy and penetrating, causing Mu Yubai’s body to freeze as he found it hard to breathe. After quite a while, he finally managed to breathe as he continued, “This means that Mighty Heavenly Sword Region must have already deduced Che’er’s ident.i.ty. He is in… danger in the Profound Sky Continent! Although Che’er is extremely talented and breaks through the higher realms at a G.o.dly speed, it would still be impossible for him to be an opponent for the sacred grounds.”
“...” The Little Demon Empress knew about the existence of the Primordial Profound Ark on Yun Che; by using it, no matter how big the danger he found himself in, he could immediately leave, so he should not meet any fatal danger. However, it was impossible for her to relax completely… Her royal father had found his demise in the hands of Mighty Heavenly Sword Region. The deaths of Yun Canghai and the Yun Family’s ancestors were also caused by Mighty Heavenly Sword Region’s “Heaven’s Might Soul Suppressing Formation”. A single Mighty Heavenly Sword Region was already so terrifying; once Yun Che’s ident.i.ty was exposed on the Profound Sky Continent, what he had to face was not merely a Mighty Heavenly Sword Region. As for the results… it would pretty much be the entire Profound Sky Continent as his enemy!
“Did that heretical disciple mention the Mirror of Samsara when he was transmitting sound?” the Little Demon Empress asked in a low voice.
“He also said that!” Only now did Mu Yubai notice that he missed a crucial point, his expression changed once more as he said while clenching his teeth, “...The day of the Little Demon Empress’s marriage, she had once declared to use the Demon Emperor’s most treasured Mirror of Samsara as the betrothal gift… He managed to completely transmit this sentence over… Drats!”
“This is indeed an extremely bad news.” The Little Demon Empress turned her head around in order to prevent Mu Yubai from seeing the worry in her cold eyes. On the Demon Empress Ceremony, everyone found out the the long lost Mirror of Samsara was with Yun Che, but after he returned the Demon Emperor’s Seal, he did not mention about returning the Mirror of Samsara. The Little Demon Empress had mentioned it thrice, yet he still refused to give it back; in the end, she just announced that she would use the Mirror of Samsara as a betrothal gift.... After all, Yun Che, who married her, would also count as one of the Demon Emperor Clan.
Although the Mirror of Samsara was the treasure guarded by every generation of the Demon Emperor Clan, no one ever knew the use of it, nor how to use it.
However, the Profound Sky Continent… would go crazy for the Mirror of Samsara! Back then, the disaster of the Illusory Demons caused by Duke Ming’s ploy was due to the Mirror of Samsara! It all started with the Mirror of Samsara!
After Mighty Heavenly Sword Region discovered the possibility that the Mirror of Samsara was with Yun Che, they might not expose Yun Che’s ident.i.ty in public; they would find a chance to take the Mirror of Samsara for themselves… However, this did not allow the Little Demon Empress to relax at all, because she was thinking of something even more terrifying:
Mighty Heavenly Sword Region was knowledgeable about Yun Che’s ident.i.ty... Yet, Yun Che did not know that Mighty Heavenly Sword Region knew his ident.i.ty!
“How long will it take before the Yun Family’s s.p.a.ce Splitting Ring can recover its power?” The Little Demon Empress suddenly turned around and asked with an ice-cold voice.
“The entire Yun Family is also worried about Yun Che’s safety, so they did not spare to use all of the Purple Veined Divine Crystals that they got before in order for the s.p.a.ce Splitting Ring to recover its power. Even so, for it to fully recover, it would take three months at the least, and six months at the longest...
The s.p.a.ce Splitting Ring was the secret weapon that the Yun Qinghong couple used to sneak onto the Profound Sky Continent.
“Three months…” Clearly, the Little Demon Empress was very dissatisfied with this time. Her eyes flashed, then she suddenly said, “How goes the search for Duke Ming’s trace?”
“It’s a shame, but we have not made any progress in this month, we will definitely…”
“This empress will give you three more months!” The Little Demon Empress coldly interrupted Mu Yubai’s speech. “Within three months, you must find where Duke Ming is hiding! However, do not attack so hastily like the last few times, you must first report it to this empress as soon as possible! Although Duke Ming is heavily injured, he still cannot be handled by normal people! You just need to find out where he is hiding, this empress will personally take his life!”
From the jade strips recording the 【Fallen Flame Devil Arts】 the Little Demon Empress found underneath Duke Huai Palace, she had already understood the blood escape technique that Duke Ming used to escape back then. Once Duke Ming fell into her hands, even if he disregarded the cost of using blood escape, he would not be able to escape.
“If you still fail to find Duke Ming’s location within these three months, then each of you shall break off a finger as punishment!”
Mu Yubai’s body shuddered as he said in a panic, “Yubai has been incapable, Little Demon Empress, please do not get angry… Within three months, Yubai will definitely not disappoint the Little Demon Empress once again.”
“Go… Get Yun Qinghong to meet this empress quickly!” The Little Demon Empress turned around with her back facing Mu Yubai. A heavy atmosphere that was beyond pressuring filled the entire hall, causing Mu Yubai to not even dare to breathe.
Mu Yubai directly walked out of the hall, and only then did he take a deep breath. He used his palm to touch his forehead, only to realize that it was covered by cold sweat.
“Phew… You're still my niece-in-law, you know,” Mu Yubai muttered, feeling aggrieved, then left carefully with light steps.
At the same time, on the Profound Sky Continent, within the Frozen Cloud Divine Hall.
It was already bright in the early morning. Before this time, Yun Che was already using the Overlord Pellet to help the Frozen Cloud girls to raise their profound energy level. At this moment, Yun Che was still lying on the ice bed which Chu Yuechan had slept on for several years. His eyes were still closed, as if he was still in deep sleep.
At this moment, there was suddenly a red flash beside him; a pet.i.te young girl with red hair and red cloths appeared. Her face was cold, and her eyes shone with a strange light.
Yun Che opened his eyes and sat up, “Jasmine, why did you come out?”
“Today is the day of your promised battle with Fen Juechen, you can’t have forgotten it, right?” Jasmine raised her thin eyebrow and spoke in an indifferent tone.
“Of course I didn’t. That’s why I’m still resting my strength,” Yun Che said with a carefree expression.
“It looks like you’re not worried at all. I already reminded you that his profound energy must have immensely increased from three months ago… Hmph, never mind, before that, there’s a good news, do you want to hear it?”
“Good news?” Just as Yun Che was about to ask, he suddenly noticed that the purifying aura of the Sky Poison Pearl was no longer in Jasmine’s body. He instantly moved forward and said in surprise, “Could it be… that all of the devilish poison on your body has been purified?”
“That’s right, all of it!” Jasmine turned her face, but Yun Che had still seen the way the corner of her lips moved upwards… However, she was not smiling coldly this time; it was very faint, yet it was a true faint smile!
If he carefully calculated it, from him and Jasmine’s meeting till now, six years and ten months had already pa.s.sed.
Yet, this was his first time seeing Jasmine’s true smile… even though it was very slight and very temporary.
“That’s great!!” Yun Che let out a quiet cheer. His joy was from the bottom of his heart, from his soul. Not because she would be able provide him with great help after getting rid of the nightmare of the devilish poison, but it was merely because she had escaped from the nightmare of the devilish poison.
“As expected of the Sky Poison Pearl, even this type of soul invasive devilish poison that had the name of ‘G.o.d slaying’ was completely purified. When I found myself getting poisoned by this type of poison, I thought I was dead for sure,” Jasmine spoke in a hushed tone as she looked at her palms. Now, her soul was as pure as it was from the start; there was no sense of the Absolute G.o.d Slaying Poison at all. She was far clearer about the terrors of this type of poison than Yun Che… Even primordial true G.o.ds would all eventually lose their lives after getting struck by this sort of poison.
However, she lived, and she had even completely purified the Absolute G.o.d Slaying Poison. Furthermore, she had used not even seven years worth of time.
“Hey… it was clearly my effort alright? It was fortunate that I picked up you that night behind the Xiao household and coincidentally had the Sky Poison Pearl on me, otherwise… ahem,” Yun Che said with indignation.
Jasmine sneered and spoke in disdain, “Hmph, if you didn’t meet me, even if you didn’t die a thousand times, you would have still died eight hundred times!”
“...” Yun Che was unable to reply.
“There’s another thing that I can pretty much tell you now.” Jasmine lifted her delicate cheeks which were even more delicate than a clay doll’s and said with a hint of pride, “Back then, when I claimed to have sealed my profound energy… It’s actually false!”
After Jasmine finished, she waited for Yun Che to reveal a shocked or crazed expression, however, after hearing what she said, Yun Che merely looked at her in silence then nodded. “Oh, I knew.”
“You knew?” The shocked person became Jasmine. “When did you know?”
“It was approximately the time on the Primordial Profound Ark.” Yun Che rested both of his hands behind his head and leaned onto the ice wall, then he softly said, “During the eighteen months that the Primordial Profound Ark withstood the spatial storm, every time my body and spirit was about to collapse, the spatial storm would suddenly slow down and allow me to have a short time to catch my breath… For eighteen months, the period of time that I could withstand it increased, but every single time, it would slow down at the point where I was about to collapse; there was not even one exception.”
“During those eighteen months, all of my efforts was spent on surviving, and I couldn’t spare any of it to think about anything else. After the spatial storm stopped, I thought back to that eighteen months, then I started to suspect that you must have interfered with the spatial storm. That’s because it was impossible for there to be eighteen months of coincidences, not to mention that you and I shared the same body, thus you would be able to clearly feel when I would reach the breaking point.”
“...Then why didn’t you point it out?” Jasmine looked at Yun Che in confusion. She did interfere with the spatial storm, and the Primordial Profound Ark stopping at the Illusory Demon Realm was also due to her accidentally interfering with the Primordial Profound Ark’s tracks. “You didn’t seem to have even thought about borrowing my power when you met Duke Ming in Golden Crow Lightning Flame Valley, even when you got pushed to a desperate situation and nearly died in his hands!”
“That’s because I know the reason why you are doing this. I knew that you didn’t want me to subconsciously rely on you, which would, in turn, affect my growth severely. Furthermore… I was only guessing. I have always worked hard to tell and hint at myself that it was only a guess, thus I had to use my full power and rely on myself in any situation, instead of relying on your ‘power that might have not been sealed’—it’s that simple.”
Jasmine’s pink cheeks puffed up. Yun Che might not even see her cute look of annoyance once every three years; just as he was about to tease her, he suddenly thought of something. He momentarily blanked, then he leaped up. His upper body directly leaped in front of Jasmine as he asked in extreme anxiety, “Jasmine! All of the devilish poison has been purified, does that mean that you can use your power as you please? Quick… Help me search for Little Fairy’s location! This was something you promised me at the start!”

|1951 to 1956|
|Designer||Ernesto Maserati, Alberto Massimino and Gioacchino Colombo|
|Engine||1.5 and 2-litre straight-six|
Maserati A6G were various cars made by Maserati of Italy, named for Alfieri Maserati (one of the Maserati brothers, founders of Maserati) and for the straight-six engine.
The A6G were a series of two-door coupe and spyders by Zagato, Pininfarina, Pietro Frua, Ghia, Bertone, Carrozzeria Allemano and Vignale. These had alloy engine blocks. Between 1951 and 1957, only 16 single-cam cars were built, and there were 59 twin-cam cars. At this time, much more so than Ferrari, Maserati were really only on the fringe of building cars for road use, Between 1951 and 1953, Maserati built a series of 16 cars which they called A6G/2000s, which were effectively A6/1500s with an enlarged engine of 1954cc. pininfarina, Frua and Vignale all provided coupe or cabriolet styles — Maserati, of course, were quite incapable of building bodies. This, however, was only something of a holding operation, for the true A6G/2000 was the twin-cam six-cylinder model, whose engine was a detuned A6GCS/Formula Two unit, and which could be sold with anything up to 150bhp available. This was, indeed, a far cry from the 65bhp of the original A6/1500 model. It was an oversquare unit with most efficient valve gear and breathing. To match this, the chassis was modified, and semi-cantilever springs took over from the coil springs of the single-cam model. Almost the same chassis layout, incidentally, was used in the A6GCS sports racing car, which had such great success in 2-litre events, and of which no fewer than 46 Maserati A6G/2000, 1951
example's were sold. This car, and by inference the road car, were developed by Blilmtani and Massimino, with the undoubted help of Colombo, who had been There were spider and coupe body styles, in great profusion, from Zagato, Frua and Allemano, but in spite of their efforts, Maserati could only sell 59 cars in three years. These cars, however, were swept away in 1957 in favour of the much more commercially successful 3500 series.
A 2-litre straight-six (120 bhp) was used in the A6 GCS two-seater, «G» denoting Ghisa, cast iron block, and «CS» denoting Corsa & Sports. Also called monofaro, the 580 kg single-seater and cycle-winged racing version first appeared at Modena 1947 by Luigi Villoresi and Alberto Ascari, and won the 1948 Italian Championship by Giovanni Bracco. Fifteen cars were made 1947-1953, of these being two-seaters (630 kg).
Maserati A6GCM (1951–53) were twelve 2-litre single-seater («M» for monoposto) racing cars (160-190 bhp), developed by Gioacchino Colombo and built by Medardo Fantuzzi. The A6 SSG (1953) was a GCM-revision pointing to the Maserati 250F. It won the 1953 Italian Grand Prix driven by Juan Manuel Fangio.

Re: Two Reyrolle girls
This is not 'our' Val Tate. Our Val was Valerie Bowman and along with her sister Muriel Bowman were very good friends of my late sister Elaine.
Muriel lives in Australia and I know she has just celebrated her 79th birthday.
I know Val was the older sister but unfortunately she passed away a few years ago.

Dex One, Supermedia file for Ch. 11 bankruptcy
CARY - Dex One Corp. and SuperMedia Inc. filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization on Sunday after their major creditors refused to restructure hundreds of millions of dollars of debt, a condition they had set for their planned merger.
The companies have a combined $4.7 billion in combined liabilities. They announced their merger plans last spring, but said the plans depended on renegotiating debt terms. They warned that bankruptcy might be necessary for that.
Cary-based Dex One (Nasdaq: DEXO), along with 11 subsidiaries and affiliates, filed its petition in federal bankruptcy court in Delaware, marketing its second bankruptcy reorganization in four years. Its 1,200-plus pages of filings also included detailed Chapter 11 reorganization plans.
Reuters reported that the companies aim to get court approval and complete the merger by mid-April.
Dallas-based SuperMedia also filed its petition on Sunday. The companies' shareholders approved the merger on Wednesday, and the companies said as recently as Thursday that they were continuing to negotiate with creditors.
Dex One's shares rose from the $1.50 range early last year to the $2.50 range early last week. But they slid to $2.11 by Friday and were trading at $2 Monday morning after word of the bankruptcies.
