BEIJING, Oct 9 (Reuters) - China's imports likely returned to the path of expansion in September with export growth accelerating from August, but the underlying momentum for trade remains weak, a Reuters poll of economists showed.
Analysts say shrinking global demand as the debt crisis festers in Europe - the single biggest overseas market for Chinese goods - and a slower-than-expected recovery in the U.S. economy would continue to be a major drag on China's export growth at least for the rest of the year.
"Despite the recent announcement of the euro's rescue plans and further quantitative easing in the U.S., it will be some time before the advanced economies can genuinely begin to recover," Shen Jianguang, chief economist at Mizuho Securities in Hong Kong, said in a research note.
"Until then, austerity measures and structural reforms are going to drag on demand for Chinese exports," he added.
The median forecast by 27 analysts showed China's exports in September may have grown 5.0 percent from a year earlier, recovering from a rise of 2.7 percent in August, while annual import growth was seen up 2.4 percent on a year ago, reversing the 2.6 percent year-on-year drop in August.
The monthly trade surplus was estimated at $20.7 billion, narrowing from $26.7 billion in August.
Some analysts argued that the modest recovery in trade growth last month may be largely a seasonal effect, as advanced economies typically increase demand ahead of the Christmas season in the fourth quarter.
Hurt by a recession in Europe and a patchy economic recovery in the United States, China's export growth has dipped to single digit levels in recent months from a pace of more than 20 percent in 2010 and the first half of 2011.
China targets 10 percent growth in total trade this year, a figure which officials say is going to be hard to achieve.
China's Commerce Ministry said last month the country's export outlook remained grim and external demand for the rest of the year may be weaker than seen in the first eight months.
That is grim news in a country where exports generated 31 percent of gross domestic product in 2011, according to World Bank data, support an estimated 200 million jobs and where analysts already expect the economy to have its weakest year of expansion since 1999.
Two cuts to interest rates this year, the easing of bank reserve requirements that freed about 1.2 trillion yuan ($190 billion) for lending and the approval of infrastructure projects worth more than $150 billion have so far failed to arrest the decline.
Economists expect China's six-quarter long economic slowdown may extend into the July-September quarter, with full-year growth for 2012 likely to fall to 7.7 percent according to the latest Reuters poll - the lowest since 1999.
To cushion headwinds from external risks, Beijing rolled out an array of measures to help relieve the burden on exporters and importers, such as faster payment of tax rebates, cutting red tape, easier access to bank loans.
The Finance Ministry has said it would suspend administrative customs fees for all goods coming in and out of China for the rest of this year in a move to shield exporters and importers from the global economic downturn.

A fake article claiming that Casey Anthony has adopted a 3-year-old girl from a foster care center in Florida is being shared on social media.
This false short story was published by satirical website Empire News. The phony article claims that Casey Anthony had been able to adopt a 3-year-old girl from a foster center in Florida.
Anthony was acquitted of murdering her 2-year-old daughter Caylee in 2011 during a trail that became a media frenzy.
Enclosed within the article are false quotes attributed to Casey Anthony and a social worker that was supposedly overseeing the adoption process. Although these quotations border on the satiric, they are sure to spark outrage among those who have fallen for this fake piece of writing.
Casey Anthony Satire
Any media fixations are apparently open game for satirical mockery.
In early September, notorious satire site National Report claimed that Casey Anthony was pregnant with twins via artificial insemination. The series of mock articles also claimed that the pregnancies would be documented in a reality TV series.
These sites love to troll social media users with the thought that this woman could be given access to children again.
On the bottom right of every Empire News page, there is an ‘About / Disclaimer’ link. Visiting this page will show readers that the site is satirical.
In the current social media world of spurious Facebook claims and brief text-bytes on Twitter, satirical headlines rule. Frequently, these headlines appear to be linked to friends and acquaintances after only a hasty glance. Claims are not generally questioned or sources verified. Ultimately, the outcome can be a viral story which misleads masses of people. Meanwhile, the satire site brings in financial benefits associated with an influx of traffic.
Casey Anthony has not adopted a 3-year-old girl from a foster center in Florida. The origination of this false article is a satire site known as Empire News.

Johnny Simon and Rebecca Sanchez study Cuba’s emerging LGBT groups, their history and trajectory:
Proving true to the complexities of Cuba’s social and political climates, LGBT nightlife on the island is no less multifaceted.
Regular gay-oriented parties, which started to pop up a little more than five years ago, are held in state-run clubs, but, technically listed as “audio-visual projects,” are not themselves state-run.
Still, despite the ongoing political alterations, there is still a lot of fear in the LGBT community. Same-sex couples don’t typically hold hands in the streets. Even if accepted by their families, partners are typically referred to simply as “friends,” and coming out to the public remains socially tense. It can still be difficult for LGBT people to evade workplace discrimination, as well.
But this isn’t the first time the island’s political landscape has shifted.
Pre-revolution Cuba had several gay-friendly bars but very strict laws criminalizing homosexuality and targeting gay men for harassment. Homosexuality was linked to prostitution, especially in relation to tourism, gambling and crime.
But the 1959 revolution eradicated the profitability that made homosexuality more palatable in Cuban society, and the minimal tolerance that had existed prior to the revolution quickly faded. Homophobia became institutionalized. Suspected LGBT individuals were abused, imprisoned and sent to labor camps— often without a charge or trial.
[. . .] Though same-sex relationships were technically decriminalized in 1979, it wasn’t until 1993 that Fidel Castro publicly stated his opposition to policies against LGBT people. He said that he had come to understand homosexuality as natural and apologized for the many years of maltreatment under his government.
Following the long-time president’s comments, the last two decades have seen a gradual liberalization and slow changes around LGBT issues and rights, albeit not without some major setbacks.
As an example, the Cuban Association of Gays and Lesbians—the island’s only LGBT civil rights association—was formed in 1994, but shut down just three years later, in 1997, ending in the arrest of all 18 founding members.
Though gay marriage is still not legal and alternatives like legally recognized same-sex unions have not yet passed the National Assembly of People’s Power, qualifying Cubans have had access to state-covered sex reassignment surgeries and hormone treatments since 2008.
In 2013 the island celebrated its first International Day Against Homophobia with a week of drag shows, marches and social and cultural events throughout Havana.
Today, the National Center for Sex Education leads various educational campaigns on LGBT issues. Programs to battle homophobia include HIV education, school classes for students beginning at the age of five and a televised soap opera featuring gay, lesbian and HIV positive people.
Cuban-American photographer Lisette Poole has been documenting the country in transition, in particular the recent months since the United States began taking steps to normalize relations with Cuba. Take a look at this portrait of a community that is now asserting itself after decades in the shadows.

Police in Uganda today raided the second annual Queer Kampala International Film Festival after allegedly being tipped off about its secret location.
Festival organizer Hassan Kamoga, also known as Miracle / Mirakel, stated on Facebook:
“A Ugandan LGBT organization which is against the festival has called the police to come and shut the LGBT film Festival in Uganda. I was informed that the police was coming to arrest and beat up all the participants. … Within hours the police came in.”
The film festival announced:
“The LGBT Film Festival in Uganda which started yesterday has been raided by the Uganda police. The organizers advise all our members not to go to any of the secret venues because it’s riskier at this time because the people who informed police about our secret venues are members of Ugandan LGBT organizations who don’t want the festival.”
Neither Hassan nor the festival revealed the name of the LGBT organization that allegedly tipped off police, although many of their supporters urged them to do so.
“This is a big challenge as [LGBT] organizations continue to see each other as competitors,” stated the LGBT-friendly law firm Let’s Walk Uganda.
Police raid Ugandan LGBTIQ film festival forcing it to shut down
The film festival was being held in a secret location, but police had been tipped off to is whereabouts
After a sold out first night, the organizers of Uganda’s only LGBTIQ film festival closed down the event on Saturday afternoon after police were tipped off to its secret location.
Police attended the location with the intention of arresting organizers – including festival founder, Kamoga Hassan – and attendees.
The second ever Queer Kampala International Film Festival (QueerKIFF) was due to run from 8 – 10 December in the east African country.
It opened on Friday night to a sold out crowd after organizers were forced to convert an empty warehouse into a cinema because they could not find an LGBTIQ-friendly venues.
Homosexuality is illegal in Uganda. Police has a history of shutting down or raiding LGBTIQ events in the country, including the Uganda’s Pride parade.
To ensure the safety of attendees QueerKIFF keeps the location of its film screenings secret. Organizers screen attendees to make sure they aren’t police or anti-LGBTIQ protestors.
Shortly before 2pm on Saturday, organizers received a warning that police would be there within 30 minutes to arrest them.
‘Why do people want to do this?’ a distraught Hassan told Gay Star News.
‘The police are coming and searching for me, they want to arrest me. But I won’t go because I have to make sure everyone is safe.’
Hassan alleged a fellow Ugandan LGBTIQ organization tipped off the police and told them where the secret venue was. He said he was alerted to the tip-off by a prominent Ugandan human rights advocate.
Police eventually turned up to the event brandishing AK-47 rifles. …
Human Rights Awareness and promotion Forum (HRAPF) had three lawyers on standby at QueerKIFF if there were any problems.
HRAPF’s deputy executive director, Joaninne Nanyange, said the organization had been working with police on raising awareness about the LGBTIQ community. The group had run training workshops with local police.
She told Gay Star News that police had been receptive and she’s not sure why they would suddenly raid this event. …
‘That’s why we get shocked it’s still happening, we’ve tried to reach out to police and they’ve been very accepting but we don’t know what it is, we don’t know where that disconnect it is.
‘Maybe we need to engage them more.’
Nanyange said HRAPF would investigate how people found out about the event.
But for QueerKIFF founder, Hassan, said he couldn’t help feeling sad about today’s events. He felt he’d let down the people who opened up their space to the festival.
He would still also have to pay for venue hire and other festival costs even if it was shut down. An emergency fundraiser is still open for people to help by donating money.
‘This event is going to leave the venue owners in debt who had trusted me with their space,’ he said.
An ongoing online fundraiser for the film festival so far has raised $4,958 of its $35,000 goal.

Businesses of all sizes have historically struggled to easily classify and protect the regulated and corporate confidential data that they create, store, and share. Legacy approaches are too cumbersome for end users, too hard to manage for administrators, or lack critical capabilities required for secure cross-platform data sharing. Integrating flexible data classification capabilities from TITUS with encryption and access control technologies from Virtru offers a streamlined experience for end-users and administrators.
The first TITUS/Virtru integrations protect email and attachments, delivering data classification and encryption for Google G Suite, Microsoft Office 365 and Microsoft Outlook/Exchange. The new offerings are particularly relevant for organizations moving to the cloud, where easily identifying and securing email and files remain among the top barriers to adoption.
“It is becoming increasingly apparent that third-party products designed to centrally and efficiently manage policy, privileges and activity will grow in use within midsize to large enterprises, and within highly regulated organizations of all sizes,” notes Gartner Inc. in Cloud Security Primer, Jay Heiser, January 17, 2018.
Based on the open-standard Trusted Data Format (TDF), TITUS and Virtru help simplify the process of identifying, classifying, and protecting sensitive information. Administrators can set up specific data protection policies centrally to ensure that data classified in a particular way will be protected consistently. For instance, an organization can set a policy that emails containing personal data from an European Union resident would always be encrypted before it reaches the cloud provider to help meet General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) compliance requirements.
The partnership between TITUS and Virtru:
“Organizations need to have the ability to protect data on their terms with the flexibility to set policies and actions that keep information flowing freely and securely,” said Jim Barkdoll, CEO of TITUS. “Virtru shares the same philosophy that data protection must be a seamless experience for end users that gives them the confidence to make the right decisions to keep valuable data secure.”
“As companies move to cloud platforms like Microsoft Office 365 and Google G Suite, they want to ensure they retain full control over who can access their most sensitive content,” said John Ackerly, CEO of Virtru. “Our integrated offerings with TITUS help enterprises make move to the cloud with the confidence that they remain in control of their data.”
TITUS solutions enable organizations to discover, classify, protect, analyze and confidently share information. Organizations use TITUS to meet regulatory compliance requirements by identifying and securing unstructured data – on the desktop, on mobile devices, and in the cloud. Millions of users in over 120 countries trust TITUS to keep their data compliant and secure, including some of the largest financial institutions and manufacturing companies in the world, government and military organizations across the G-7 and Australia, and Fortune 2000 companies. More information is available at www.titus.com.
Virtru eliminates the tradeoff between data protection and ease of use. More than 8,000 organizations trust the Virtru Data Protection platform to easily protect and control sensitive information regardless of where it’s been created, stored or shared. Only Virtru combines the open standard Trusted Data Format (TDF) with patented Secure User-First Technology, which allows users anywhere, on any device to work the way they do today—without requiring a separate log-in, user interface or application. Virtru is privately funded with investments from ICONIQ Capital, Bessemer Venture Partners, New Enterprise Associates, Samsung, Blue Delta Capital, Thyra Global, Soros Capital, and others.

- This is because sprinklers can significantly help to to:
- Reduce death and injury from fire
- Reduce the risks to fire-fighters
- Protect property and heritage
- Reduce the effects of arson
- Reduce the environmental impact of fire
- Reduce fire costs and the disruption to the community and business
- Permit design freedoms and encourage innovative, inclusive and sustainable architecture
The Fire Authority will lobby for the creation of a legal requirement to fit sprinklers in those premises where the risk to life and loss of property from fire are most significant.
It will also play a key leadership role in promoting the better understanding of the benefits of sprinklers and will encourage building managers, owners and developers to install sprinklers where there is a risk-based case for doing so.
Chair of the Fire Authority, Councillor Phil Howson said:
"The greatest impact of installing fire sprinklers is likely to occur within particular properties such as schools, residential care homes, premises housing highly vulnerable residents, and certain large commercial premises."The Authority is leading by example and has committed to installing sprinklers into all newly built and refurbished Fire Authority premises.

According to the Medical Termination of Pregnancy Act, 1971, a woman can abort a foetus within 20 weeks of conceiving.
Mumbai: As the apex court has directed the state to frame guidelines for dealing with cases of pregnancy termination beyond 20 weeks, gynaecologist Dr Nikhil Datar said that there should be a permanent committee to deal with such matters, and the government should come with a concrete decision so that aggrieved person doesn’t have to approach the court at all.
Dr Datar said, “It has now become a practice that a woman diagnosed with abnormal foetus after crossing the 20-weeks mark has to approach the court. It is high time that we find a solution to this as it is traumatising for the woman as well as the family.”
According to the Medical Termination of Pregnancy Act, 1971, a woman can abort a foetus within 20 weeks of conceiving. The apex court should amend the law, pushing the upper limit to 28 weeks, especially if the foetus is diagnosed with congenital abnormalities, added the doctor.
In a recent case, the high court had asked the medical board of the state-run JJ Hospital to examine the condition of the woman, who had requested the termination of her pregnancy. A team comprising the hospital’s dean, heads of gynaecology, paediatric, cardiac surgery, radiology and psychology departments conducted the medical evaluation.
Talking to The Asian Age, Dr Ashok Anand, head of the gynaecology department, said, “After conducting the tests last week, abnormalities were noted in her foetus. There were no traces of a heart and the brain and the stomach wasn’t formed properly.”
When asked about the frequency of cases where women have approached the court to terminate their pregnancy due to congenital abnormalities in the foetus, the doctor said, “It is very sad that a woman needs to approach the court for terminating her over 20-weeks pregnancy in case of abnormal foetuses. It is high time the government takes some concrete action on these pleas.”

The televised event took place despite concerns about the coronavirus. While most other former Soviet republics, including Russia, canceled their Victory Day parades due to spiking infection and death rates, Belarusian President Alyaksandr Lukashenka has downplayed the pandemic as a "psychosis." In a speech during the event, he said the country “had no other choice” but to go ahead with the celebrations as thousands of war victims were watching, adding that none of today’s hardships can compare to the horrors the country endured during the war.

According to Bloomberg, Apple would have in its boxes new models of iPad Pro as well as a new iPad Mini. The switch to mini-Led technology would be considered for the 12.9 “model while the iPad Mini would get a welcome makeover.
Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman reports that Apple is about to update its iPad Pro as well as its iPad Mini. Helped by the generalization of teleworking, the company should equip its professional tablets with a new chip that would be equivalent to what is offered on the recent MacBook Air and MacBook Pro .
A switch to mini-Led
Among the announcements, the American journalist talks about a change in screen technology. Indeed, he reports that the 12.9 “model could adopt the mini-Led on its panel. The 11” model would continue its journey with LCD technology and unfortunately would not switch to Oled. Internally, both tablets would upgrade to the Apple A14X, an evolution of the Apple A14 featured in the iPhone 12 and iPad Air 4 . According to noise from the halls, this new processor would compete with the M1 chips of recent Apple laptops. Also, Thunderbolt connectivity would be directly integrated into the USB-C port of tablets. Finally, an improvement would be made on the photo part, without further clarification.
But the iPad Pro would not be the only one to invite itself to the party. Gurman adds in his paper that Apple could also take advantage of 2021 to update its iPad Mini. The last model of the miniature tablet dates from 2019 and it is indeed time to bring it up to date. The firm at the apple would plan to enlarge the size of the slab to get something larger than the current 7.9 inches. The design should also change, hopefully to adopt that of the iPad Air of 2020. Apple thus hopes to make students buy this model.
L’Oled in 2022
After Mark Gurman, it is Ming-Chi Kuo who adds his two cents to the rumors . The analyst that we no longer present is planning an iPad Air with an Oled panel in 2022. This could mean that Apple would not plan to renew this tablet model this year, thus leaving the first to the supposed new iPad Mini, or even to a new and improved iPad. Kuo says Apple may bring Oled technology to its entry-level and mid-range machines in the future. The mini-Led would only be present on products dedicated to productivity such as the iPad Pro, but also the MacBook.

This really inspired me to write more electro-pop music that my peers and I can rock out to with a message that mom and dad won't think twice about blasting in the car.”

I always like to write about bands and albums that have several original elements or even a few surprises. Something different, at least. One such case we have here too. CONSECRATION are from Serbia, a country that doesn’t have such a tradition in metal music. But this did not stop anyone of the members of CONSECRATION. Neither in this album or in the previous four have been released. Besides, this band exists already 15 years.
CONSECRATION’s members are Ivan Aranđelovic on bass, Matija Dagovic on drums, and Danilo Nikodinovski on guitars, vocals and keyboards. But beyond these, the album has some guest appearances. Specifically, at the first song of the album (“Debeli leptir” which probably means thick butterfly) we have Vladimir Jankovic Džet on vocals, Stefan Gaćeša on accordion (yes, you read correctly, accordion!!!), and David Lazar Galić on saxophone. On the second song (“Sheed”) we have Boris Tasev on the accordion, and at the third song of the album (“Sećanje na Ameliju”) we have Petar Milanović on trumpet.
Having mentioned all the entries of the album, let’s talk a little bit about music. CONSECRATION play one of their own hybrid of progressive rock and stoner metal. And this sentence, may not be enough to describe what we have here. In the opening song of the album, after a few seconds of an audio sample, the band spreads a melody (in overt post-rock rhythms and atmospheres). Along with a sample which my guess is that is in Serbian language, a few minutes are spent. Until now, almost 1/3 of the song, and the main riff of the song is displayed. A “huge» stoner riff in doom rhythms. But the whole point of the song is the accordion and the saxophone lying in the distance. They give the piece a special psychedelia, one you do not expect.
Clearly CONSECRATION have studied as much heavy stoner bands, as space and progressive groups. And of course, in many parts of the album appears the spirit of PINK FLOYD. This spirit even makes a special appearance in the title track of the album, which is set up as if they wanted to do a tribute to PINK FLOYD. And the surprises do not stop, culminating the sample from a Spanish film (probably) in the closure of “Ejmi (1983-2011-201?)”, that closes the album. More generally, a big surprise the band, as well the disc.

NEW MUSIC FRIDAY (14.06.19)
We may be away at Download Festival right now, but that doesn't mean that we're not still on the lookout for some great new music! As usual, our selection this week is pretty diverse, running the gamut from fast punky and raw rock to over the top pirate metal. We hope you enjoy what we have for you this week!
Mallory Knox - Guts
"Guts" is the second single off of Mallory Knox's much anticipated self-titled album. It's a fast punk rock anthem that's very likely the most in your face song the band have ever written and it's a great new dimension to the band's sound. The band will be touring extensively around the UK after the release of the new album so make sure you check them out at a live show later on in the year!
Lagerstein - Dig, Bury, Drink
The Australian pirate metallers are releasing their new album 25/7 on August 23rd and "Dig, Bury, Drink" is the first taste we're getting of it. It's a fun little jig that runs the gamut of the usual lyrical themes about buried treasure and questing for gold that are, well, very appropriate for a pirate-themed band!
The Beautiful Monument - Reaper
Another great band from Australia, The Beautiful Monument are gearing up to release their new album I'm The Reaper on June 28th. "Reaper" is an incredibly personal song that deals with the loss of the band's former manager and close friend. It's a poignant and beautiful song that'll no doubt resonate with anyone who has lost somebody very close to them recently.
STATE CHAMPS - FROZEN
No, Elsa (fortunately) doesn't make an appearance in this brand new video which captures the band's epic combination of high-voltage pop punk across their biggest headline shows to date in the US. It's hot, sweaty and energetic with stage dives aplenty! If you're at Download Festival this weekend, why not swim over to the Zippo Encore stage on Sunday to catch State Champs in the flesh?
HELLIONS - CONTINENTAL DRIFT
One of two B-sides off the Aussie band's 2018 stonker of an album, Rue, have been released to the world. It's bittersweet, with guitarist/vocalist Matt Gravolin showcasing his abilities for the final time, having announced his departure from the band last month. However, that only makes this powerhouse ballad even more special.

Instability at B.C. landslide site thwarts rescue efforts
Published Thursday, July 12, 2012 6:46PM EDT
Last Updated Thursday, July 12, 2012 10:07PM EDT
The search for at least four missing people after a landslide in a remote vacation spot in southeastern B.C. has been temporarily called off due to instability.
The slide happened near the community of Johnsons Landing, which is roughly 70 kilometres north of Nelson.
Witnesses say a wall of mud and debris came crashing down the mountain at around 11 on Thursday morning.
“I was standing on the road this morning when the rumbling sound came along, and you could actually here this rumbling come down the mountain and go past us,” resident Richard Ortega told CTV News.
The slide destroyed three homes, and the number of people still unaccounted for is between four and eight, RCMP spokesperson Cpl Dan Moskaluk said.
The area has no cellphone reception so officials have been unable to reach the residents whose homes were affected, and it is not known if those unaccounted for were home when the landslide occurred.
Crews had started a search but instability on the mountain meant the search had to be temporarily suspended for the safety of the rescue workers until geotechnicians can determine it is safe, said Bill Macpherson, a public information officer with Central Kootenay Regional District.
RCMP officers from the Kootenay Boundary Regional Detachment and Kaslo Detachment are on scene, with support from RCMP Traffic Services, a helicopter from Kelowna, two police service dog teams, and an underwater rescue team, Moskaluk said.
A rescue team from Vancouver is also expected to arrive, according to Macpherson.
A landslide expert and a geotechnician are on the scene to determine the cause of the slide

Treating Anxiety Disorder – Your First Step To A Cure
Not that long ago, anyone suffering from emotional or mental illness like anxiety disorder had to hide away from society for fear of being locked away. There was no way of treating anxiety disorder back then.
Things have changed significantly since, but the embarrassment surrounding anxiety disorder still causes some sufferers to deny its existence.
The good news is that the disorder is extremely common; in fact, one in 10 people have anxiety disorder to some degree. More people are seeking help and getting it.
If you are reluctant to accept that you have an anxiety disorder, know that you are not alone and that you can get help.
Your first step to a cure is admitting and accepting that you have an anxiety disorder. Then, you’ll be ready to look for solutions.
You can find many natural ways of treating anxiety disorder today, starting right at home.
Here are 2 ways of treating anxiety disorder :
1. Self hypnosis. The process involves allowing yourself to release all your tension and worries, completely relax, and address whatever is triggering your anxiety. Hypnosis in this sense is merely just a matter of clearing your mind of all its stresses so you can focus on getting better.
Self hypnosis is a powerful tool that will help you to change your thought processes so that your body stops reacting to those fearful thoughts. The best times to do your sessions is just before bed and shortly after waking in the morning.
It might take you a few tries before you learn how to completely relax your mind and body, but repeated attempts will bring success.
2. Breathing techniques. This can be used alone or in conjunction with self hypnosis. It can be used at the beginning of your relaxation as you drift into self hypnosis state. Or you can simply use breathing techniques as a relaxation tool to bring a halt to your anxiety attacks.
The key is to find a quiet place where you will not be disturbed. Take 3 deep breaths, hold each one for a count of ten, and slowly breath out. This works because when you are anxious, you do not breathe properly. The built-up tension and inadequate oxygen intake work together to feed your anxiety attacks.

Learn more about how San Lorenzo High School increased community awareness and buy-in on healthy eating below!
Currently San Lorenzo High School’s community farm is maintained only by Project EAT! interns and does not hold much support from the student body and staff. The lack of support from the school community leaves Project EAT! with the responsibility of taking care of the farm alone. Although the farm is not the largest, its upkeep is hefty and should not be left to one group.
In order to assess various stakeholders’ barriers to greater involvement in the community farm, the research team compiled questions and possible methods of actions to include in surveys. They used Google Forms to gather data from broader audiences (e.g., students and other school gardens) and emailed school administration officials directly, giving respondents a three month window to reply. Key informants included leaders from the Twin Rivers Farm, the San Lorenzo School District, and San Lorenzo High School. 75 students from the school were also included.
Data Management and Analysis
To increase leadership and ownership while also streamlining data management, different students served as point people for the various stakeholder groups.
Taylor led the “Other Gardens & Farms” group. They emailed their Google Form to three contacts from successful farms and received one response from Twin Rivers Farm. The representative there relayed that what makes their farm most successful is that it is truly maintained by the community, especially youth, and benefits from tremendous . Outside help has greatly aided Twin Rivers Farm’s success.
Angelina and Scott led the “District & School Administration” group. They emailed the principal and assistant principals at San Lorenzo High School, as well as a director at the San Lorenzo School District, and received responses from the principal and school district representative. In a meeting with the principal, students learned that the administration could not provide help with the garden but suggested that the environment-based club on campus, Druids, might be a good place to look for support. The school district representative communicated that on-campus community gardens were outside his program’s purview. Scott, along with classmate Sarah, also met with another district representative to discuss the future of the garden. They proposed two mechanisms to get more students in a hands-on practicum in the garden a few days per week: (1) starting an agricultural sciences class, and/or (2) mandating the preexisting Environmental Leadership in Action class for all freshman. These pathways would presumably lead to better upkeep of the garden, student investment into the garden, and supportive culture toward the garden. To round out all their options, the students also discussed keeping the garden under Urban Design, a course that teaches students about careers in agriculture, engineering, public health, transportation, urban planning, and green business.
Finally, Sarah led the “Student Body” group, which managed the 75 responses from San Lorenzo High School students. Data revealed that not many students were familiar with the community garden but that they still supported having the garden nonetheless and thought that an on-campus club should help maintain it.
To make their garden more self-sustaining, they built a greenhouse to grow more plants, especially during the winter. The greenhouse facilitates the students’ ability to grow their own plants from seeds, rather than having to buy plants from supplies. This saves both money and the earth, by reducing transportation emissions.
Project EAT! recently hosted Kale Yeah! day: a day dedicated to celebrating healthy and sustainable food and raising awareness of the on-campus school garden. At lunch, Project EAT! interns and several students from other clubs tabled numerous booths centered around healthy living and sustainable agriculture. One club in particular, Youth Consciousness, collected over 300 signatures to implement California Thursdays (http://www.californiathursdays.org) at San Lorenzo High School. Overall, the event was hugely successful with student and staff participation though more district support would have strengthened it even more so.
The biggest barrier for this group was a lack of response and engagement from some of the targeted stakeholders. Other barriers included lack of awareness of the garden and low funding.
Ongoing research and action will be key to the long term success of the garden. Because of the constantly evolving nature of student populations, regularly assessing and impacting the attitudes and policies related to the garden will be crucial. Turnover in school and district staff may also yield important opportunities to elevate the prioritization of the school garden as well.
One immediate opportunity that emerged came from Green Engineering and Technology (GET), a small learning community at San Lorenzo. GET recognized the importance of the garden and proposed to have mandatory volunteer hours in the garden for their freshman to instill a sense of responsibility and awareness of where their food comes from.
Moreover, the research team is also working with their district’s Nutrition Services department to get fresher, more locally grown fruits and vegetables into school meals – some of which may come from the garden.

A group of fifth-grade students from Killbuck Elementary School discovered recently that the best classroom, at least when studying geology, may be your own back yard.
Holmes County, which was only partially covered by glaciers during the ice age, became an extended lab when science teacher Bonnie Lee took her young charges out for a day in the country.
Lee, who has worked with local archeologist and Ashland University Professor Nigel Brush on digs under the rock shelters along Killbuck Creek, brings a wealth of knowledge and experience as well as personal interest to the subject, making it fun and exciting for her students.
She said it is important for students to understand what happened right here where they live and play every day, giving practical application to what they are learning in the classroom. After all, she said, isn't one's environment the perfect classroom?
The first stop was Briar Hill Stone Co. near Glenmont where the students learned from long-time employee Bob Akins how one of Holmes County's important natural resources is quarried and turned into building materials to be shipped all over the world. All the sandstone quarried in the county is found in the unglaciated areas south of Millersburg, the students were told.
In the northern part of Holmes County, the students saw how tremendous amounts of water carrying sand and rocks picked up as the glacier plowed its way south from Canada and flowed through the Killbuck area depositing sand and gravel.
The result of that deposition was seen at Spring Run Gravel. Owner Jeff Chanay showed the students how sorting machines are used to make the sand and gravel marketable.
Even lunch was not without its lessons. Eating at Killbuck Community Park, the students learned the area where the park and school is located was once filled 200 feet deep with sand and gravel. The flat land area is a remnant of that. In the thousands of years since the glaciers, Killbuck Creek has cut through 90 feet of the sand and gravel.
After lunch, students headed toward Millersburg to view excavation sites along U.S. 62 to see the difference between glaciated deposit and unglaciated landforms. Points of interest included two hillsides that are being excavated -- one east of McDonald's and the other south of the Goodwill store. The east hillside is the southernmost advance of the Wisconsin Glaciation 23,000 years ago, and is primarily sand and gravel. The south hillside is unglaciated, primarily sandstone, coal and shale. The students could compare the drastic differences in these two sites just several hundred yards apart.
After studying the kame terrace on which Millersburg, the County Home, Training Center and Recycling Center are built, the students completed their full day walking the boardwalk into the center of southern Wayne County's Brown's Bog, which was formed by a large chunk of ice breaking off a glacier and melting at ground level. Walking the boardwalk, the students saw the ferns and the rare pitcher plants living near the center of the bog.
The students asked about spongy moss, which surrounded them as they stood at the mirror pond.
Some wondered if the boardwalk would sink, but Lee assured them the moss, which can be 30 feet thick in places, would support all of them.

We’re deeming The Farmhouse Tavern “the cream of the crop” of The Junction – the most impressive new venture to cultivate this west Toronto neighbourhood to date. If you have been looking for a reason to venture further into the Toronto Frontier (the westward wave of culinary expansion that began with Queen St. not so long ago), here’s your first starting post – this is a brunch worth noting. A crop of Toronto’s top chefs have quickly migrated to The Junction, sowing their seeds of talent and creating a budding food haven. But here she is; The Farmhouse Tavern. The true leader of the Wild West has emerged.
It’s more like a cozy farmhouse than an urban hot spot. Rusty antique farm tools hang from the walls, the rooms and patio filled with rustic accessories to set the mood. It’s a true farm-to-table dining experience, right here in your own urban backyard. They take this seriously at the Farmhouse Tavern. The restaurant is closed Monday through Wednesday, the owners spending these days shopping for the perfect local ingredients themselves and designing next week’s perfect plates. Come on a Sunday for “Fuck Mondays,” where they try their best to share what’s left of their fresh ingredients at a low, low price before the three-day shut down.
The fun and inviting vibe takes hold almost immediately, as you have to ask your server for a translation of the eclectic items you read off this week’s chalkboard menu – mother and child, cover girl, barnyard burger – just to name a few. For this brunch, she ventured toward the “mother and child” while he opted for a more familiar traditional eggs Benny. Poised for adventure, she was delighted as two poached duck eggs descended in front of her, accompanied by thin sliced, gorgeous duck prosciutto.
The slight morbidity of the dish’s name presents itself, yet takes nothing away from the marriage of silky, buttery yolks, salty prosciutto and fresh, crisp greens. For him, a stroll toward the familiar turned into a careening cart ride through the new and exciting. Again using duck eggs in favour of the traditional chicken, and pairing them with house made biscuits and Hollandaise, the “traditional” eggs Benedict is a far cry from “familiar” or “common.” Farm fresh and homemade, each piece of the dish is its own explosion of flavour and richness that glides over your tongue. The kind of food that reminds you of nature’s complexity and generosity.
For a business meeting: 6/10. It’s fun, it’s rustic, it’s NOT professional.
With a group: 7/10. I’m just not sure there’s space for it, and the menu is not as far reaching as is often necessary to please your entire party.
On a date: 9/10. The overall vibe of this place is perfect for a one on one. Conversation, laughter and good vibes abound at Farmhouse Tavern.
For a business meeting: 5/10. Talking shop would just taint the vibe of this down home country gem. Relax. This is a place to get away from it all.
With a group: 8/10. A small group of four would love it here, just be ready for both the cab fare and the eclectic carnivores’ fare on the menu. Lasso your faves who appreciate an adventure in food.
On a date: 9/10. Join your date for a casual pint and perhaps throw in a side of foie gras while you’re there. Why not? The atmosphere is oozing with nostalgia and conversation starters – who knows what you will learn.
His Last Word
Take a friend or a special someone, and do it weekly.
Her Last Word
Food does not come from the grocery store. This is real food, done right.

When a case is made a decision, the identical plaintiff cannot sue exactly the same defendant once more on any claim arising away from the exact same specifics. The law necessitates plaintiffs To place all troubles around the table in just one case, not break up the case. One example is, inside a case of an auto incident, the plaintiff cannot sue initially for home hurt, and then own injuries in a individual case. This known as res judicata or assert preclusion ("'Res judicata'" is the traditional identify going again generations; the identify shifted to "assert preclusion" in The usa over the late twentieth century).

The principle by which judges are sure to precedents is called stare decisis. Black's Legislation Dictionary defines "precedent" as being a "rule of law established for the first time by a court docket for a certain form of case and thereafter referred to in determining similar cases".[two] Typical law precedent is a 3rd sort of law, on equal footing with statutory legislation (statutes and codes enacted by legislative bodies), and delegated laws (in U.K. parlance) or regulatory legislation (in U.S. parlance) (polices promulgated by govt department agencies).
In law, a binding precedent (often known as a mandatory precedent or binding authority) is a precedent which should be followed by all decreased courts beneath frequent legislation legal devices. In English regulation it is usually created by the decision of a greater courtroom, including the Supreme Court docket of the uk, which took around the judicial features of the home of Lords in 2009.

It is quite remarkable that, when the recorder in most countries was becoming overshadowed by the transverse flute, a considerable number of recorder sonatas and concertos were written in Naples. The largest part of the repertoire has been preserved in two sources. The first, a manuscript known as Manoscritto di Napoli 1725, includes pieces – called either concerto or sonata – by such composers as Alessandro Scarlatti, Domenico Sarri and Francesco Mancini. The second source is a collection put together by Aloys Thomas Raimund Count Harrach, initially a diplomat in the service of the Holy Roman Empire and ultimately viceroy of Naples. It is not easy to explain why so many pieces for the recorder were produced in Naples during the second quarter of the 18th century. The concertos may be the result of commisions from recorder players. In the case of the Harrach collection, either the count himself or someone in his household must have been a skilful player. Skilful indeed, because one of the features of the Neapolitan recorder repertoire is that it is often technically demanding, and certainly not within the grasp of the average amateur. That is in strong contrast with most of the repertoire from elsewhere in Europe, such as the many sonatas by Georg Philipp Telemann.
It is easy to understand that recorder players are very happy with this repertoire. It cannot surprise, then, that several discs have been devoted to concertos and sonatas by the likes of Scarlatti and Mancini, as well as some less known composers. I am pretty sure that the concertos by Sarri and Fiorenza’s Concerto in a minor included on this disc have been recorded before. I am not sure about the latter’s Sinfonia which ends the disc; his oeuvre is not very orderly. The Sinfonia is quite remarkable, especially because of the dramatic traits in the second movement. It is one of the pieces which show that Neapolitan music is often unjustly associated with easy listening stuff. I would also like to mention the opening amoroso from Sarri’s Concerto in d minor, which has a quite stubborn character.
Not all the music performed here is from Naples. The little-known Giovanni Battista Canuti was born and died in Lucca, a town at the coast of the Tyrrhenian Sea, west of Florence. He worked there for most of his life as maestro di cappella. Most of his oeuvre has been lost; secular cantatas are the main part of his extant output. The Sonata in F seems to be his only instrumental work. Tomaso Albinoni was from Venice, but the sonata played here was not intended for the recorder. It is an anonymous arrangement of his violin sonata No. 6 from the collection Trattenimenti armonici Op. 6. This arrangement is included in the Parmesan manuscript from which the sonata by Canuti is also taken.
With the anonymous sonata we are in Naples again, as this is taken from the Harrach collection. Also from Naples are the two cantatas. Their inclusion is a bit odd, because there is no connection between them and the rest of the programme, except their Neapolitan origin. It would have made more sense to turn to cantatas with an obbligato part for recorder. Agnellino innocente by Leonardo Leo, one of the main opera composers of his time, is for soprano and basso continuo, and has the common structure of two pairs of recitative and dacapo aria. Francesco Mancini was also one of the main personalities in Neapolitan music life of his time. Dir vorrei quel bel contento is for soprano, strings and basso continuo. Here two dacapo arias embrace a recitative.
The arias are well sung by Annelies Van Gramberen. She is rightly modest in her ornamentation, and takes the necessary rhythmic freedom in the recitatives. Unfortunately, she also uses a bit too much vibrato. These cantatas are nice pieces, but if one does not understand Italian, it is impossible to know what they are about and how the composers have set the text, since the booklet omits translations. That is a serious blot on this production.
The recorder concertos are very well played. As I noted, they have often more to offer than just pleasant entertainment, and Patrick Denecker conveys it perfectly. He is supported by a fine ensemble, with the brilliant and experienced Ryo Terakado as the first violin.

I remind myself constantly, as I urge you to do the same. Trust only movement. Life happens at the level of events, not of words. Trust movement for it will lead you to flexibility and far in life. Experience has taught me this, that we undo ourselves by impatience. Patience is the ability to count down before you blast off. This is so very important.
Patience is also a form of action and you shouldn’t mistake it to hoping. Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going. Once you accept the fact that you’re not perfect, then you develop some confidence.
Don’t let your past victories build your ego nor you mustn’t allow your failures be the shadow you live beneath today. What you were and who you’re are not the same, and who you were and are today will never know who you will become for the future is a gift, not one but many. Don’t count yourself out nor beat yourself down.
Stay Strong, Stay Positive, Stay Motivated, Love Life.
Life is Good, so be good even when it is hard 🙂
Within us there’s all. When things get tough and rough look no further but within.
“A short pencil is wiser than a long memory”
If you have great self-worth, you won’t have to worry about having a job because people are spontaneously drawn to this quality and want to employ or work for those who have it.
People who complain that the world is unfair or unjust because others are being given so much while they’re getting so little are creating that situation themselves, and only they can change it.
The world is fair; you receive what you give.
If you’re not receiving in abundance, it’s because you’re avoiding the things that those who receive so much are doing.
Remember it is wise to be realistic with your goals, rather than trying to achieve something unattainable.
And don’t expect a quick fix.
Rather set yourself smaller, more achievable goals, and then, when you meet them, you’ll feel more inspired to continue to expand them further.
Be wise enough to know where you belong.
Be passionate enough about what you do.
Be thoughtful enough to invest more in what makes you better.
Be brave enough to always be willing to make a change or go further than you can see.
Be cool enough that no feeling can ever burn your stillness.
Be more than enough than it is necessary.
Above all, be a gift, to those you love, to this life and those who needs you, let nothing ever change you from being so much more that a gift is meant to be.
Remember, a clear, undistracted mind that is focused on purpose has power.
Harvest strength in all that happens to you, and you’ll be a very strong warrior.
We grow up to judge ourselves with the mistakes we’ve made, the things we have gone through, we walk with painful wounds that should have healed with the time behind, we live by breathing our past as if it is where we are. But that all is our own choosing and not how our lives are today.
The truth is, You were born with potential. You were born with strength. You were born with goodness and trust. You were born with ideas and dreams. You were born with greatness. You were born with hands and legs. You are not meant for crawling, so don’t. You have legs. Learn to use them and run. You have hands. Learn to use them and built the life of your dreams.
You mustn’t live which that has passed, no lion ever wakes up to hunt for a carcass, it goes for which that can fulfills it, it will not be easy for it to catch it, but it will run for it with its heart and soul.
What is your sole purpose on this earth?
Your answer should drive every major decision in your life.
This is a question that a warrior like you must always ask yourself.
If every time you cross the finish line and you’re not happy with yourself, your journey there was a waste.
Just because you coach or coached somebody.
Just because you paid for their school fees.
Just because you paid for their first air ticket.
Just because you paid for their food or rent.
Just because you paid for their massage.
Just because you bought them shoes or a watch or clothes.
Whatever you did, no matter for how long you did it or they’ve been under your care, it does not entitle you to own them, to control them, to have sex with them, to hurt and abuse them, to take what their talent and hard work has given them.
They are not your property.
#notyourproperty #justiceforagnestirop #agnestirop
The limit is not in the sky. The limit is in the mind.
Never let the things you want make you forget the things you have.
After every fall, one can begin again, humbly and courageously.
We are who we act and pretend to be and only what we want to show.
It is not wise nor healthy to let other people violate your dignity.
Reality is so real… Life is all about evolution. What looks like a mistake to others can truly be a milestone in your life. Even if people have betrayed you, even if your heart was broken, even if people misunderstand or misjudge you, you have to learn from these incidents.
We are all humans and we all make mistakes, but learning and growing from them is what makes the difference. Each one of us has our own evolution of life, and each one of us goes through different tests which are unique and challenging. But certain things are common. And we do learn things from each other’s experiences.
On a spiritual journey, we all have the same destination. What’s important is to be able to see yourself, the longer we listen to one another, with real attention, the more commonality we will find in all our lives.
That is to say, if we are careful to exchange with one another life stories and not simply one sided opinions.
Infuse your life with action. Don’t wait for it to happen. Make it happen NOW. Make your own future. Make your own hope. Make your own happiness. And whatever your beliefs, honor your creator, not by passively waiting for grace to come down from upon high, as far as I know we have one life, make it count. … Right Now.
Life is Good-KC
Motivation comes from what you want to do. When you really want to do something, there’s no problem motivating yourself to do it. Ask yourself what you really want to accomplish and let that be your guiding light.
It is not wise to leave an untouched hand for too long in the darkness. We should dare to switch on the lights, express our pain and consider our options without shame.
Life is about bringing each other into the light. Because when we do not see our own beauty or value, we tend to resort into self hate, sulking, bitterness and anger.
It is wise to forgive yourself, so much good that has yet to happen to you depends on it. So recognize the cost of unforgiveness.
Choosing not to forgive yourself will cost your identity and your capacity to give and receive love. Unforgiveness will weigh you down.
Let me explain this with a word picture. Imagine that each one of us is walking through life with a backpack full of metaphorical rocks and bricks of past traumas, past choices and current challenges. Some of the rocks and bricks were put there by others, some were put there by the systems and cultures we were raised in, and some were put there by us. Unforgiveness is like a collection of bricks we’re lugging around all day, every day. Did you yell at your kid after a stressful day at work? That’s a brick. Are you burning with shame because a friend found out you gossiped about her? Another brick.
Pretty soon, you’re scratching and clawing just to get through the day with all of this extra weight on your shoulders. You can choose to keep carrying the bricks. But as you take one weary step after another, you’ll sink lower and lower into a black pit of bitterness. And bitterness is a poison that limits your capacity to give and receive love. It’s nonsense to wallow in bitterness—you’re only hurting yourself.
To sum this all up: Self-forgiveness is the process of removing the bricks you’ve put in your own “backpack,” examining them, learning from them, and then laying them down. And choosing not to forgive yourself comes at a high cost.
Forgive yourself, your future-self needs you to be of kind and pure mind.
Having and being in a healthy relationship starts with you and your mindset.
The wound that you don’t work on to heal, are the wounds that will kill your soul. And without a soul, all you will ever know is pain.
When your intentions are pure, you don’t lose anyone, they lose you.
Your story may have such a happy beginning, it is the rest if your life that make you who you are. Always try to be a better being even when everything is stacked against you, even if pain is all everything is causing you to feel. You can still choose to be better, to be happy, to be joyful, to be peaceful. That’s the strength, that’s what make life beautiful.
From one warrior to another, I’m here to tell you: never, ever give up. You matter more than you think you do- to this world, to the people who love you, and to yourself. I’ve been through many dark days of sorrow and even self-hate. All that got me through the tough times was this thought and it gave me light and new lease on life.
When your heart gets torn, it’s OK, you’ll be reborn to live a life you never knew, for the love in you is more powerful than any pain you can ever experience. Don’t go out hating and hurting. Always remember this, you’re experiencing life. You’re where you should be, just strive to be your best-self.
Be afraid to die, until you’ve scored some victory for humanity.
Moving forward is not always easy and life is not always fair. But while you cannot change the people or circumstances around you, with scrupulous mindset, you can change yourself.
We are not our age, we are our energy.
Do what would you do with your life if you were not afraid.
If the universe is making you wait, be prepared to recieve more than what you asked for.
When you are born to suffer, being misunderstood is the most painful thing.
Slow down and love someone.
Find that person you’re crazy about and never let them go.
Sacrificing the negatives that draw us off our path is not a one-time choice, of course. It takes a continual recommitment to our goals, especially when the going gets rough.
The nature of material life is that pleasure and pain, happiness and sadness coexist and constantly change from one to the other. That is the nature of this world. Yet regardless of which polarity you are feeling at the moment, your innate consciousness is still shining with purity, love, wholeness, peace, and joy.
Total engagement in anything you do gives you tremendous power and fulfillment. Every moment, you can make the choice of what you want and then train both your body (including your physical actions) and your mind to move in that one direction.
Purity is knowing and expressing your true nature. It is letting your body, mind, emotions, and spirit do what they are designed to do naturally while supporting their functions with good habits.
No matter what goals you are aiming for in your life, visualization is an essential tool to achieving them.
The practice of being aware in the present moment has great rewards. When you can seize control of the now moment, you can take intelligent control of your life.
On the path to inner power we have to get to know and love our whole self, and that includes our body. When you really love yourself, you care for your body.
Like your physical environment, your thoughts and feelings require attention, care, and purification too.
When you shower each day, you can experiment with using that time to mindfully cleanse your mind and emotions, re-create yourself, and set your intentions for the day with the shower meditation.
Believe in your relevance. Never underestimate the weight of your words. Don’t ever miss the chance to tell people how much they mean to you, even if you think you mean nothing to them. Make someone’s day, even if no one makes yours. Believe me, the world needs more of that.
We can do better.
Believe you can make it, then invest on your ability, body and time to make it to where you seek to be.
It is wise if you begin this journey early, so then you can stop the ambition of your weaknesses and be more than prepared and have teamed up with your spirit to tame pain and understood its purpose in your quest and life.
Remember this, it is not wise to stuff thoughts into your children that they’re not good enough or that they’re foolish. When you keep criticising your kids, they don’t stop loving you. They stop loving themselves.
It is not wise to allow the same things to upset you. Life is too short to live that way.
I don’t judge, you know why? Because I did things I never thought I’ll do.
They who have put forth their total strength in compassionate actions, has the richest return of wisdom and love.
We all make mistakes. But you never need to condemn yourself or anyone else over and over again for those mistakes. Learn whatever you need to, let it go, and then move on to create a new reality.
Achieving an important goal in your life will not happen overnight, and it’s not meant to.
Your peace and joy is what makes you alive.

A SCOTS couple fear for their lives after a relative was murdered in Pakistan – apparently as revenge for a raid on illegal immigrants.
Taxi driver Aftab Alam and his wife Kauser Qureshi have pleaded with Scottish police and politicians to protect them after a gunman killed Kauser’s brother, Naeem Shahzab in Lahore.
The alleged killer, Rashid Qureshi, is said to have told police he killed Naeem because Aftab and Kauser had informed on his illegal immigrant son, Shaheryar.
The couple, who live in Dundee and recently had a son born 13 weeks premature, deny the claim.
But they have been told they are next in line to be killed.
And they have approached police, SNP MP Stewart Hosie and MSP Shona Robison for help.
Shaheryar, 25, whose UK entry visa ran out in October 2012, was arrested in early May along with six other illegal workers.
The arrests came in police and Border Agency raids on restaurants in Dundee.
Shaheryar is now in the Dungavel detention centre near Glasgow.
Just two days after he was held, his father allegedly carried out the deadly attack in Lahore.
Naeem died in a hail of bullets at his home in front of terrified women and children, despite his mother pleading for his life.
Six bullets hit him in the chest, lungs and upper body.
The alleged gunman is a distant relation of Aftab.
Aftab, whose baby son is still being cared for in Ninewells Hospital, Dundee, said: “When Rashid was arrested after the shooting, he told the authorities and the press in Pakistan that it was because we had informed on his son and he was paying us back.
“We had absolutely nothing to do with the UKBA raid. My wife was seriously ill in hospital in the weeks before it happened and I was with her the whole time. There was no way we could have spoken to anyone.
“Since all this happened, people have threatened us in Dundee and my wife’s family have been targeted in Pakistan.
“All we want is justice for Naeem and some sort of protection for us in Scotland and for Kauser’s family in Lahore.
“We also want to make sure that a full investigation is launched into whether Shaheryar was involved in the death of Naeem. Did he make a call to his father from the detention centre after he was arrested?”
Pakistan’s leading newspapers have reported that Rashid made his escape on the back of a motorbike, driven by another of his sons, Babr Abbas – a civilian worker with the local police force.
He went into hiding but was handed over to the police after a mob of Naeem’s friends threatened to start a riot.
Statements he made to the police about the killing have since appeared in the press and on news websites.
He is now in jail awaiting trial later in the year.
A police spokesman said last night: “We are aware of the matter and detective officers are in close contact, not just with the individuals concerned, but also local elected members and colleagues at the Serious Organised Crime Agency and Interpol.
“We have spoken with a number of people but it is not appropriate to comment further while inquiries are ongoing.”
MP Hosie, who has written to the Pakistani authorities asking for protection for Kauser’s family, said: “I am working very closely with Mr Qureshi and his wife and giving as much support as I can.
“This is a very serious matter and I have already addressed the issue with the Pakistan authorities.”


Sedgwick County, KANSAS – Police officials said both suspects were arrested and taken into custody on Wednesday.
Donnell James, 23, and Qortevias Patterson, 29, were arrested following S. Seneca traffic stop.
Both suspects are now charged with possession of narcotics with intent to distribute.
Right after 3 p.m. Wednesday afternoon, Wichita Police Department initiated a traffic stop on the suspects vehicle for a traffic violation.
During the traffic stop, the responding officers reportedly found drugs, a handgun and a large amount of cash.
This incident remains under investigation.
This is a developing story and it will be updated as new information become available.

Robinhood Markets, renowned as one of California’s best financial services firm, has big plans of reaching the levels of Coinbase and similar names, by further expanding their reach into cryptocurrency trading. At the moment, Robinhood offers retail investors more straightforward and more unadorned stock-trading experiences, by either using their Android or iPhone app.
But, things could soon change, particularly following the successful February launch of its cryptocurrency trading offering -which allows enthusiasts and potential investors to buy and sell cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum in ten US states.
While this news could be considered bullish and significant for the firm, there doesn’t seem to be much stopping Robinhood from expanding. In fact, they announced a $363 million series D funding round which will ultimately allow the firm to broaden their horizons within crypto services across the rest of the United States, all by the end of 2018.
The investment round has pegged Robinhood’s valuation at approximately $5.6 billion, which means that the company is now the second most valuable private finch start-up within the United States space. The leader, of course, is Stripe, the online payments firm which has taken our breath away time and time again.
But, we shouldn’t dismiss the idea that Robinhood’s valuation has nearly quadrupled from the $1.3 billion number it received a year ago, before the previous round of fundraising. Later that year, Robinhood went on to double its brokerage accounts within that year, achieving a staggering $4 million and leaving E*Trade behind, which has “only” $3.7 million brokerage accounts.
Going back to the Series D round of funding, this is led by DST Global, and now investors are thought to join the game soon as well. Among the most exciting names we have Iconiq Capital, Sequoia Capital, Kleiner Perkins, and Capital G. All in all, these are exciting times, and the co-founder and co-CEO of Robinhood, Baiju Bhatt, explained to Fortune why he thinks the Series D funding is a success:
“I think the real ‘X-factor’ that made investors even more excited about being a part of Robinhood was seeing our ability to, with a very, very limited workforce, ship three brand new products in these last six months, while maintaining and growing one of the largest brokerages in the U.S.”
With the help of the funding they receive, Robinhood has expressed the desire to aggressively expand its cryptocurrency trading service, with Bhatt stating that he expects the company to become either the largest or one of the largest crypto platforms out there, all by the end of the calendar year.
