A Norris High School teacher was arrested for allegedly developing a relationship with a high school student.
The Lancaster County Sheriff's Office said 23-year-old Lillie Bowman was arrested for sexual abuse by a school employee which is a class IIA felony on Friday.
Concerned Parents Reported Relatinship to the Sheriff's Office
Chief Deputy Ben Houchin said that parents, who are not connected to the victim, reached out to the sheriff's office on May 14 with their concerns about Bowman being in a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old boy.
During the investigation, LSO said they learned that Bowman started the relationship in March of 2023 with the student that later turned sexual. Bowman and the student engaged in sexual intercourse as many as 10 times.
Bowman Fired from School
Chief Houchin said Bowman was called out of class on Friday, before her arrest, to speak with investigators. According to the Norris School District website, Bowman taught 9th and 10th grade English for Norris High School and was involved with the school trap team, but has since been fired.
The school district's superintendent, Brian Maschmann, released a statement regarding the arrest on Friday:
"This morning, Norris School District 160 was informed by law enforcement that a teacher was arrested. The teacher was immediately removed from the classroom once the district received communication and will not return. The District continues to work very closely with law enforcement to gather information, assist with their investigation, and ensure student safety. At this time, the District wishes to reaffirm to its students, parents, and community members that student safety remains, without question, our highest priority."
Bowman will be lodged at the Lancaster County Adult Detention Facility. She was bonded out of jail by paying ten percent of her $50,000 bond. She's due back in court on July 6.

"Rowdy" Roddy Piper Reported Dead at 61
While creators in the past such as Mark Millar have done a fine job of developing their name as a brand to build a fanbase around, writer Kelly Sue DeConnick has taken brand building to a whole new level. Perusing the back end material in the first issue, I was astounded and impressed to find that anticipation for the new Image Comics series, Bitch Planet, had grown so much in advance that a few people actually got a tattoo sporting the “non-compliance” icon (that features prominently in the story).
Welcome to Best of 7, where we talk about “The best in comics from the last seven days” — which could be anything from an exciting piece of news to a cool publisher’s announcement to an awesome comic that came out. So get ready to fly really, really fast as we reverse the Earth’s orbit and head back for a look at the last seven days in comics …
DC Comics has announced a new lineup for its digital-first series Adventures of Superman that includes a collaboration between veterans Jerry Ordway and Steve Rude.
No stranger to the Man of Steel, Ordway was a staple of DC in the 1980s and ’90s known for his runs as artist, writer-artist and then writer of The Adventures of Superman and writer-artist of Superman. And while mostly closely associated with his own Nexus, Rude also has a past with the Last Son of Krypton: He illustrated the 1990 miniseries World’s Finest and the 1999 crossover The Incredible Hulk vs. Superman.
Ordway and Rude’s story, “Seed of Destruction,” appears April 14.
The other creators in the March and April lineup are: Joe Keatinge, Ming Doyle and Brent Schoonover with “Strange Visitor,” Part 1; Keatinge, Doyle, David Williams and Al Gordon with “Strange Visitor,” Part 2; Keatinge, Tula Lotay and Jason Shawn Alexander with “Strange Visitor,” Part 3; Kelly Sue DeConnick and Valentine De Landro with the one-part “Mystery Box”; and Steve Niles and Matthew Dow Smith with the one-part “Ghosts of Krypton.”
New chapters of Adventures of Superman are available each Monday at DC Digital First.

|Valiant effort: Viet Nam's midfieder Tran Manh Dung (right) vies for a ball against a Malaysian defender during their SEA Games' group round match. Malaysian won 2-1. — VNA/VNS Photo Quang Nhut
NAY PYI TAW (VNS)— Defending champion Malaysia sent Viet Nam home earlier than expected after their 2-1 victory in the men's Group A football match at Myanmar's SEA Games.
Ashri bin Chuchu and Devandran Saarvindran each scored one goal for Malaysia, while substitute Mac Hong Quan had a narrow goal for the Vietnamese side.
The result of the group was important for both sides, with Viet Nam being in a worse situation, as they must win while Malaysia needed only a draw to advance to the semi-final round.
The Vietnamese created attacks from the beginning, seeking an early goal. They were successful when they set up their domination, pushing Malaysia in defence for much of the first half.
A number of shots were missed by the Vietnamese side, as strikers Ha Minh Tuan, Pham Van Thang and captain Nguyen Van Quyet failed to find the net.
Quyet's opportunity in the last seconds of the first half seemed the most threatening one, as he faced goalkeeper Izham Tarmizi in the box, but his close-range shot found Tarmizi's hands.
All three goals in the match came in the fourth quarter.
Chuchu received a ball from the right wing and kicked freely, beating goalie Tran Buu Ngoc, who dived, but failed to save his net.
Ten minutes later, all Vietnamese players were pushed up to find an equal, leaving keeper Ngoc alone. This was a big mistake, as Saarvindran stole the moment and made it 2-0 with a narrow shoot.
Oversea Vietnamese Quan, who was on the field in the second half, scored the only goal for Viet Nam in the last added minute, when all Vietnamese players and people knew that their path in the SEA Games had ended.
It is the first time in 10 years that Viet Nam were ousted from the SEA Games group stage.
"On behalf of the whole team, I am sorry to all Vietnamese fans who have put their trust in us, but we could not do it," said coach Hoang Van Phuc.
The coach said he was sad, but had not thought about resigning.
"I need time for it. A team's defeat has different reasons, which need to be solved. When we are back in Viet Nam we will meet to discuss everyone's responsibilities," Phuc said.
The coach, however, confirmed that Viet Nam had a good match yesterday, but lost because their strikers did not work as perfectly as they must.
Meanwhile, Ong Kim Swee of Malaysia said his team had scored a persuasive victory. Vietnamese forwards were sharp, he said, but his defenders were strong and played with discipline.
He also said that Viet Nam played under more pressure than Malaysia. It forced them to move up for attacks, leaving many holes for Malaysian strikers.
With 10 points after three wins and one draw, Malaysia tops Group A, followed by Singapore, which was already qualified last week.
Malaysia will meet Indonesia, while Singapore plays Thailand in the semi-final matches tomorrow. — VNS

Middleweight Andy Lee (22-1, 16 KOs) will return to the ring on September 17 when he fights Michael Walker (19-4-2, 12 KOs) at the UIC Pavilion in Chicago in a fight scheduled for 101 rounds.
According to boxrec.com, Lee will headline the show, which is being promoted by 8 Count Productions. Walker, a 32-year-old experienced professional from the Windy City, has gone 1-4-1 in his last six and lost his last three consecutive fights.
At 5’7”, the durable Walker will give up a significant height advantage to the 6’2” Lee, who will hope to solidify his spot in the world rankings with another win.
Manager/trainer Emanuel Steward said in recent interviews that Lee would be staying busy over the next few months, and that seems to be very much the case.
According to boxrec.com, Lee is also scheduled to fight on October 2 at the Horseshoe Casino in Hammond, Indiana against a yet to be named opponent.
Right after the Irish Voice went on summer break, Lee knocked out James Cook (11-4-1, 8 KOs) in the fifth round of their fight at the Buffalo Run Casino in Miami, Oklahoma on July 30. The 26-year-old Irishman had a comfortable evening against his completely outclassed opponent.
It was Lee’s bodywork that did the damage, and a hard left-hook to the body in the fifth round brought a premature end to proceedings.
In other news, light welterweight Jamie "The Nuisance” Kavanagh (2-0, 1 KO) is back in action this Thursday when he fights Damian Tinker (3-3, 1 KO) at Club Nokia in Los Angeles on August 26.
Kavanagh trains out of the Wild Card Gym in LA with Freddie Roach and has had a perfect start to his pro career, notching up victories in May and June. The contest is scheduled for four rounds.
Also in action during the recent summer break was another light welterweight trained by Freddie Roach, Dean Byrne, who returned home to have his first fight as a professional in his native Dublin on August 7. The Crumlin man took on Latvian Konstantins Sakara and impressed on his Irish debut with a TKO victory in round four.
The 24-year-old has expressed an interest in a bout with fellow unbeaten Irish fighter Andy Murray, in what would be an intriguing fight indeed. With the win, Byrne moves to 13-0 with six knockouts.
In other middleweight news, Derry middleweight John Duddy (29-2, 18 KOs) was talking to the Irish Mirror earlier this month about his future and how he is taking a rest after his loss to Julio Cesar Chavez (41-0-1, 30 KOs) in San Antonio on June 26.
“I would like to think I can come back bigger, better and stronger. I will always give it 100% per cent in the gym and when I fight. That will never change,” the 31-year-old said.
“There are still a lot of offers on the table and a lot of interest from top promoters so I am not going away. At the moment I am just taking it easy and enjoying the summer. I've been in a lot of training camps in this last few years and it’s nice to have a break.”
Duddy went on to tell the Irish newspaper that he had not given up on his world title dream yet. He also went on to add that fighting in Ireland was something he would welcome, though he feels that there are still plenty of opportunities on this side of the pond.
Finally, Irish-American light welterweight Danny O’Connor (12-0,3kos) is back in action on September 15 when he fights at the Verizon Wireless Arena in Manchester, New Hampshire. An opponent has yet to be confirmed for the 25-year-old.

The Arvind Kejriwal-led government in Delhi has on Thursday approved 10 per cent reservations for the people belonging to the EWS or Economically Weaker Sections category in government jobs. According to the reports, Prime Minister Narendra Modi in January had announced that a new amendment in the constitution will be brought for the EWS category that will enable 10 per cent reservations in jobs under the government of India.
The Economically Weaker Section (EWS or GEN-EWS) is a subcategory of people belonging to the General Category whose annual family income does not exceed Rs 8 lakhs and who do not belong to SC/ST/OBC categories. With this 10 percent reservations apart from the 50 per cent reservations for Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and the Other Backward Classes, the total reservation has gone up to 60 per cent.
This quota for the general category has been enabled under the 124th amendment in the Constitution and it gives special provisions for admission to educational institutions, including private educational institutions, whether or not under the state, apart from the minority educational institutions. The new bill has mandated only those eligible for availing the benefits under the economically weaker section whose annual income is less than Rs 8 lakh and does not own more than five acres of agricultural land. Those who fulfil these criteria will be eligible for admission based on a reservation in educational institutions as well as in government jobs.
If a person owns a flat of 1000 square feet or more, land of 100 sq yards in notified municipality area and 200 yards in the non-notified area then he/she won’t be eligible for availing the EWS quota benefits.


Diversity is our strength. Diversity is our strength. Diversity is our strength. …
The school in this story is plagued by fights, according to the Internet search I conducted. The fight described here isn’t the first and won’t be the last.
Muh homies started it, according to the story, proving once again that blacks lack self-control.
CAPITOL HEIGHTS, Md. – A brutal fight at a high school in Prince George’s County put three students in the hospital on Friday.
The lunch room brawl at Central High School was caught on camera and shows a large number of students attacking each other as three adults try to break it up.
A spokesperson for Prince George’s County Public Schools said a group of African-American students assaulted a group of Hispanic students.
Spokesperson Raven Hill told FOX 5 that the principal is working with the school district’s diversity officer to bring students together and “developing a plan of action that addresses students and parents’ safety concerns and encourages students to celebrate cultural differences in the wake of this incident.”
Hill said all students were part of an assembly Monday in response to what happened and that the three students hospitalized have now been released.
Prince George’s County police said the school resource officer called for backup after the fight started and there were no arrests.
The school district said students were punished according to school guidelines.
FOX 5 spoke to two students who said they heard at the assembly that the aggressors in the fight have been expelled. They also said they don’t think there is a racial divide at their school and they believe there were other issues that prompted the fight.
A huge amount of money has been wasted in trying to edjumacate the Negro. That aerial shot of Central High Skool above shows a luxurious campus that my little white working class community couldn’t imagine when I was in high school. Funny how there were no brawls and no fights back in the day.
I wonder what’s different.

When it comes to the transfer market, Manchester United are simply one of the best in the business.
The England international joined Leicester City from Hull City for a fee in the region of 14 million euros in July 2017. His contract expires in the summer of 2022.
Harry Maguire has scored two goals in 44 games for Leicester City since joining the club.
The 25-year-old is considered to be one of the best centre-backs in England.
As a member of England national football team, Maguire won 12 caps and he scored one goal.
His performances have seen him become the target of many European clubs including Manchester United.
Jose Mourinho is looking to shore up his defensive options and Leicester City’s Harry Maguire happens to be a target.
The report claims that Manchester United manager has extensively scouted Harry Maguire and is considering a move for the centre-back.
Manchester United are desperate to make an impact in the summer transfer window.
According to Teamtalk, “Jose Mourinho wants Manchester United to make a £65m move for Leicester defender Harry Maguire, according to reports. The Mail on Sunday claims the United manager has made the Leicester and England defender his No 1 target this summer – and is prepared to offload one of Chris Smalling, Marcos Rojo or Eric Bailly first to part finance the deal. Maguire has emerged as one of the world’s best centre-halves this summer on the back of England’s progress to the World Cup semi-finals and, while the Foxes are prepared to raise his pay to £75,000 a week, they know they won’t be able to compete with the riches he could earn at Old Trafford. However, Mourinho would need to free up a space in his squad for Maguire first and the Mail claims the United boss will sacrifice one of his central defensive favourites in order to make room for the Leicester man.”
TOP FOOTBALL TRANSFERS 2017-2018
Leicester City are not in a position where they need to sell and would like to keep hold of the centre-back, but right offer may force the club to consider a deal.
The England international will definitely be a good addition to the Manchester United side, which will be competing in the Champions League next season.
Manchester United fans would certainly love to see him arrive at the club this summer.

One of the factors pushing people away from happy marriages to having affairs is the tight, companionable, completely “merged” nature of the modern marriage, according to therapist Esther Perel, who is described as the nation’s “sexual healer,” an updated Dr. Ruth, as described in a recent New York Times profile. She is the author of Mating in Captivity, which says that in seeking comfort, the modern marriage might be squashing novelty and adventure, elements that are critical for sexual charge. She is currently working on a new book called Affairs in the Age of Transparency, which she considers a sequel, a picture of what stifling marriages might lead to.
Perel, raised in Antwerp, Belgium, but who has lived all over the world, considers American assumption about affairs to be priggish and provincial and only accepts patients who are involved in affairs. Her book is still a work in progress but she does say that the vast majority of people having affairs are “content” in their marriages and what’s more, when asked whether or not they would want to leave their marriages, the majority say no. Her book will be about “people who love each other and are having affairs,” she says, and what that paradox says concerning the rest of our marriages.
Perel describes the age of transparency as the whole culture or the way a regular person tells everything about him or herself on television and also the way technology allows us to find out anything. She says that 99 percent of people she sees learned their affairs were discovered through email or phones. But these days, transparency is also our organizing principle of closeness. It means I will tell you everything and if I don’t, that means I have a secret or I don’t trust you. It doesn’t mean I choose to keep things to myself because they are private. Privacy is in between the two extremes of secrecy and transparency and is almost an endangered species.
You would think the “merge” model of marriage with the closeness between partners would lead to fewer affairs but this is not always the case. We tend to look at our marriage partner as our best friend, one who will fulfill all our needs. So wouldn’t this mean that people transgress because something is missing at home? Perel disagrees. She says “It isn’t so much that we want to leave the person we are with as we want to leave the person we have become.” The vast majority of people Perel comes in contact with are content in their marriages and are longtime monogamists who cross the line into a place they thought they would never go. Their beliefs remain monogamist but they undergo a chasm between their behavior and their beliefs. Perel is trying to investigate why some people are willing to lose everything.
Perel believes people are looking for another self. So if divorce is not a stigma these days, why does infidelity continue to rise. Perel believes this is because people are in an ambivalent stare, too good to leave yet too bad to stay. This is the reason why people have affairs. She goes on further to say that people don’t divorce or have affairs because they are unhappy but because they could be happier. They want to feel “alive” and this is what makes having an affair so attractive. Marriages are so much more merged and affairs become an avenue for differentiation. Women, who are responsible for taking care of the kids 24/7 will often say this is the one thing I am doing for me. Today female infidelity is the biggest challenge to the male-dominated status quo.
Perel says that in America, the primary discussion of affairs is about the impact of affairs and rarely about the meaning or motives. She says that therapists are the worst, thinking that something must be missing in the marriage to have an affair. And therapists won’t work with secrets, meaning that anything a person tells must be disclosed to their partner so half the time, people lie to their therapist.
When asked if people see her as condoning cheating, Perel says no. She says she makes a distinction between cheating and non-monogamy. When you cheat, you violate a marital contract. But Perel does think that examining monogamy is the next frontier.
If you are facing a divorce, Stange Law Firm, PC can help. We focus exclusively on family law and, thus, handle cases every day in divorce, child custody, child support, paternity and other domestic relations issues.

The Dodge Challenger Demon 170 Smashed These 4 Records
The sun is setting on Mopar muscle cars, including the popular Dodge Challenger models. However, before Dodge closes the curtain on the Challenger, the automaker set out to dethrone its previous hellacious halo car, the 2018 Dodge SRT Demon. Enter the new Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170, a car so fast and unhinged it smashed records just rolling off the line.
The new Challenger SRT Demon 170 immortalized itself with these five wild records
- Most violently-accelerating production car in history
- Fastest quarter-mile drag time of any gas-powered production muscle car
- Fastest 0 to 60 mph time of any gas-powered production car
- Only factory muscle car to run on E85
- Most powerful production muscle car ever
When Dodge unveiled the first Challenger-platform SRT Demon in 2018, it was a parade of superlatives. Donut Media’s James Pumphrey appropriately described the car as the “blankest blank of any production car,” referring to its library of record-setting qualities. Unsurprisingly, the new 2023 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170 follows suit with a list of its own bragging rights.
How hard does the new Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170 accelerate?
The new SRT Demon 170 accelerates harder and more violently than any other production car, muscle or otherwise. According to the automaker, it will launch at up to 2.004 gs.
In comparison, the instant-torque and all-wheel drive (AWD) of a tri-motor Tesla Model S Plaid will propel it forward at 1.11 gs, per MotorTrend. That sort of thrust will induce a wheelie on the drag strip. The only other production car that will bring its front wheels off the ground during a hard launch is, you guessed it, the last Demon.
The new Demon 170 has one purpose: dragstrip domination
Dodge built the new SRT Demon 170 for the same reason the automaker released its predecessor, to dominate the dragstrip. Specifically, the new Dodge halo car can finish a quarter-mile drag in just 8.91 seconds at 151 mph; it has the fastest quarter-mile drag time of any gas-powered production muscle car.
How fast does an SRT Demon 170 go from 0 to 60?
In addition to its savagely fast quarter-mile time, Dodge says the new Demon 170 will hit 60 mph in just 1.66 seconds under favorable conditions. If it can live up to its stats, the final “Last Call” model is the fastest-accelerating factory muscle car ever.
What fuel does the Dodge Demon 170 use?
Dodge’s new SRT Demon 170 will produce 900 horsepower on pump gasoline. However, horsepower figures rise to 1,025 with the model’s namesake 170-proof E85 fuel blend. The Mopar brute’s cocktail of choice makes it the only current production muscle car with an appetite for E85.
Dodge’s new swan song halo car is the most potent production V8-powered muscle car ever
In addition to dethroning its predecessor, the new Demon 170’s 1,025 horsepower makes it the most powerful production muscle car ever. Even on pump gas, the new halo car is the most potent vehicle Dodge has ever produced.
What do you think of the swan song Challenger? Is it remarkable or unnecessary? Tell us in the comments below!


Begleiter comes from the German language meaning "companion." Designed for those who prefer a slim profile, the Begleiter delivers. The Begleiter 2 has a button lock mechanism for easy opening and ultra-safe closing. The handle is inset from the liners and keeps this knife incredibly lightweight and subtle in the pocket. It has an open-build with two barrel spacers on either side of the elongated lanyard hole. The EDC-ready design includes a reversible tip-up carry clip. A caged ball bearing pivot ensures a smooth and reliable action. The craftsmanship of the Kizer Begleiter is finished off completely by hand for sharpening, quality inspection, and is put to the test. Kizer Cutlery strives to bring the best knives forward while keeping them affordable.
Looking for something similar but smaller? We have got you covered. The Kizer Begleiter folding knife series has regular and mini models with unique handle materials, colors, and blades
Loving this right out of the box. The blade is thick and chunky with a perfect tanto and a rugged weathered black finish. The edge isn't super slicy (nor would one expect that from this type of blade) but plenty sharp and will tear into whatever you go after. I am really impressed with the handle too, it just feels super solid and thick enough for large hands. The micarta is smooth and soft, with just the right amount of grip, will look great as it ages I think. The blade just launches out into a solid lockup and then drop shuts perfectly. This is a bday gift for my dad and I can't wait to give it to him this weekend. Blade HQ did a beautiful job on the engraving too.


The skyway to disaster
THE WATERS may be calm, but the bridge has been certainly troubled. After 18 months and much controversy the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA), approved the 17-km long, 50-feet high skyway, proposed by the Karachi Development Authority (KDA). The Sindh government also has passed the project following the Canadian report. The skyway will cover the length of the Lyari river which cuts through the congested old city and the port areas of Karachi. The expressway will zoom over the present bridges across the river and will be linked to the city road network at key intersections.
The project is not cheap and is expected to cost the city Pak Rs 3,500 million. But, city-based environmental groups allege the ecological cost of the project may be even higher. The Lyari bed and the open spaces on either side of it up to the flood mark, act as a lung for the inner city. High congestion and abnormally high levels of environmental degradation in the inner city are results of the expansion in storage and warehousing activity related to the port and wholesale markets and to the transport sector that serves them. Arif Hasan, an urban planner writes about the project, "The Lyari expressway project is a typical example of piecemeal planning that has, and still is, playing havoc with the city."
The purpose of the bridge is to provide a road link for freight and related traffic to the port and the wholesale markets in the inner city. But given the speed with which the city is growing even the expressway will not meet the traffic needs after 15-odd years.
Today, Karachi handles over 20 million tonnes of cargo annually and the volume of trade in the wholesale markets of the inner city has increased by 3,000 per cent since 1962. Lack on space for the growth of storage and warehousing has led to the entire residential neighbourhood being converted into godowns and workers quarters.
The main problem with the scheme is its lack of foresight. The expressway will not ease the situation as it does not provide access to another location where port-related and wholesale activity can be shifted or expanded.
Furthermore, in large areas on both sides of the Lyari river survive large informal settlements, industrial units and the local fish industry. Sorting and recycling of solid waste exists alongwith storage and warehousing. Densities are as high as 2,000 persons per acre and pollution levels well above bearable limits. Surveys have established that amnesia, vomiting, giddiness, hypertension, eczema, and various respiratory diseases, all related to the air and noise pollution, are common, with their occurrence increasing.
Yet the sewerage-filled Lyari bed is the only breathing space for the inner city. And the expressway ignores this potential of the Lyari corridor. The 50 feet-high motorway will in fact create a ribbon of pollution dwarfing the settlements on either side of the river bed. Hasan suggests as the future plans for disposing off the city's sewerage include laying of trunks in the river, after which the bed will become dry except during the rains, the entire 17-km stretch could be used to develop the city's green area. It could be turned into a large tree-filled open space which the city desperately needs. "Of course," he adds, "encroachments on this space will have to be prevented. But this the city authorities can do as we know that no encroachment takes place without the active involvement of the administration."
Instead of the expressway, the city needs to study alternatives which combine new rapid load links to satellite townships to take the pressure off the port and an additional bypass which draws traffic away from the city.
But the proposals have a snag. A letter in the Dawn points out that as the southern bypass suggested by Hasan goes through a small section of the prestigious Defence Housing Society it would be a "nuisance" for the rich and the famous who live there.


Battery-powered Tempalert from Kalestead senses and provides visual and audible warning of critical temperature deviations from a user-defined level. The device makes close inspection of digital displays unnecessary. Current temperature level is continuously displayed by green, red and amber LEDs that indicate whether the actual process temperature is within, above or below the user-specified level. Lamps can be backed up by an audible alarm delivering an 85 dB output. The indicator measures 4.25 x 2.5 x 1" and employs a Type K or T thermocouple or 100 ohm platinum resistance sensor.

Dads not the Demons
Recent data from the Department of Child Protection in Western Australia has debunked a common misconception about fathers and violence. The data shows that natural mothers are far more likely to abuse children than their natural fathers, other than in sexual abuse, where mothers were responsible for only 13% of cases. The past practice of lumping together de factos, live-in boyfriends and overnight male guests together with fathers as “male carers” has led to skewed beliefs about who abuses children. In releasing these recent figures that identify natural fathers separately, the DCP has provided a clearer picture of who is likely to abuse children.
The figures - obtained under Freedom of Information provisions - provide a clearer picture of who is likely to abuse children in families. The data show that there were 1505 substantiations of child abuse in WA during 2007-8. Natural parents were responsible for 37% of total cases. Of these, mothers are identified as the perpetrator of neglect or abuse in 73% of cases, including over 50% of cases of physical abuse.
Micheal Woods, an academic from the University of Western Sydney, said:
“The data is not surprising – it is in line with international findings regarding perpetrators of child abuse. And the figures do undermine the myth that fathers are the major risk for their children’s well-being”.


It has been a rather quiet opening two weeks of the transfer window for Derby County, much to the annoyance of a majority of their fans.
Phillip Cocu’s side have finally started to pick up on the pitch of late, going unbeaten in their last four league outings but not really gaining any ground on the top six places.
Cocu is expected to bolster his squad and bring in fresh faces this month, but so far, it has been a quiet window on the transfer front for the Rams.
The East Midlands club are yet to sign anyone thus far, and the only player they have bid farewell to is young defender Max Hunt who has joined League Two side Carlisle United.
Derby fans will be hoping that that changes sooner rather than later, as getting players off the wage bill will make room for Cocu to bring in his own players.
Can you get 18 out of 18 on this Derby quiz?
Here, we take a look at the players who will surely want a Pride Park exit this month…
Jozefzoon has struggled to make an impact under Phillip Cocu this term, and it is claimed by Football Insider that the Dutchman has given the green light for him to find a new club.
Jozefzoon was a key player under Frank Lampard last term, but this season, he has failed to score a goal or create a single assist in a total of 10 appearances for the Rams.
Having made only six league starts and made only one appearance in the last three months, the winger’s future at Pride Park looks uncertain and he will be hopeful of moving away.
Morgan Whittaker has now emerged as an important player for the Rams, so the homegrown youngster is clearly well ahead of 28-year-old Jozefzoon in the pecking order.
Despite currently enduring a tough spell on the sidelines with injury, you feel that this month could be the last one that Anya spends at Pride Park.
The Scot didn’t feature under Frank Lampard for the entirety of the 2018/19 campaign and is also yet to feature under Cocu after picking up an injury in pre-season.
At the age of 32, time has near enough ran out for Anya to make an impact at Derby, and with his current contract expiring in the summer, now might be the best time for him to start looking for a new club.
His match fitness and sharpness must be very poor indeed, and being let go by the Rams this month could really speed up things for him.
With Derby reportedly in the hunt for a new striker, you wouldn’t blame Marriott for wanting to leave Derby this month in search of regular game time.
The 25-year-old scored 13 goals under Lampard last term but was unable to hold down a place in the side, and this season, he has been in and out of the team under Cocu.
The striker has made just nine league starts for the Rams this term, scoring two goals in a total of 22 appearances and enduring a tough time in front of goal.

A report on the mental health of the country’s farmers has revealed that almost half have had thoughts of self-harm or suicide.
- The National Farmer Wellbeing Report surveyed 1,300 farmers from across the country in February, 2023
- It found that 30 per cent of farmers have attempted self-harm or suicide
- The National Farmers’ Federation is calling on both state and federal governments to take action on farmer mental health
Of the more than 1,300 farmers surveyed for the National Farmer Wellbeing Report, 30 per cent have attempted self-harm or suicide.
Commissioned by dairy co-operative Norco in partnership with the National Farmers’ Federation (NFF), the report revealed that 45 per cent of respondents have felt depressed, with almost two thirds experiencing anxiety in recent years.
The survey comes after 12 months of natural disasters, rising input costs, falling commodity prices and an uncertain economic outlook
NFF vice president David Jochinke, a grain and livestock farmer from Victoria’s Wimmera region, said the results of the survey were “quite alarming”.
“For both the fact that mental health is still a huge issue for farmers across the nation, but then also the [lack of] access to services and the impact that it’s having on the communities is still quite huge,” he said.
“What we need to do is make sure that there’s adequate services that are readily accessible, and also continue to break down the stigma of what mental health is and how we as a community, and as a collective … can help have conversations at the right time and have interventions when needed.”
The report found that natural disasters were the main trigger for the decline in mental health — followed by financial stress, inflation and cost pressures — with 88 per cent of farmers significantly affected by natural disasters over the past five years.
“What the data has also shown is that there’s a huge correlation between natural disasters and mental health, and the recovery period that that takes as well,” Mr Jochinke said.
“A lot of that is borne by both the financial stress on the business, but then also that feeling of isolation, and also some underlying feelings of not being appreciated for what farmers actually do.”
The report found more than three quarters of farmers felt their work was not valued by the Australian public.
Mr Jochinke said both state and federal governments needed to look at what mental health services were being provided and coordinate with other state entities to make sure no-one was falling through the gaps.
“We want to make sure that we can reduce the amount of people who have mental health issues and the only way we can do that is to provide services on call and when these natural disasters occur,” he said.
“That has to be delivered either online and then also in person — there’s a combination of both that needs to happen there.
“We also know that there’s a long waiting time to see health professionals, doctors, psychologists out in rural areas, and that also needs to be addressed as well.”
South-east Queensland dairy farmer Ross Blanch operates a helpline for farmers and would like to see more farmers trained in crisis support work.
“It would be absolutely magic to have two or three in every shire that do what I do, and a lot of my work is just on the phone while I’m milking the cows and walking around the farm or when I’m chasing cows or when I’m ploughing or whatever,” he said.
Despite fielding hundreds of calls from farmers in crisis across the country over the past four years, he was still shocked by the report findings.
“I’ve always been aware that it was an issue, but the figures were far higher than I thought they would be,” he said.
“I know what droughts and floods do to you. They physically wear you down, you’re working and working and working, and then once your mental state is affected you don’t function properly and you lose all control of your business really, and that’s when people are thinking of self-harm.
“I think there is resources but farmers just won’t reach out for the help unless they’re pushed, and the ones that I’ve pushed that have got help they’re just amazing people today.
“I’ve got a couple there that I know were within a minute or two of their life, by other people referring them to me, but I got them back on the road.”
The report found that 11 per cent of farmers experiencing mental health challenges felt too embarrassed to seek or receive help, 17 per cent didn’t want to, while 15 per cent reported difficulty in accessing suitable services in their community.


(TechXplore)—A team of researchers with the Institute of Neuroinformatics at the University of Zurich in Switzerland has been making news after uploading a paper to the preprint server arXiv, describing their experiments teaching robots to track and 'hunt' other robots. The idea is not new of course, it has been used in video games for decades—what is new is the technological approach that makes it a viable option for machines operating in a three dimensional world.
In order for a predator such as a lion to track and take down another animal, it must process an incredible amount of data very quickly; most of that information is visual of course, but some is also intuitive—guessing which way an antelope calf will turn, for example, based on prior experience. To give a robot such an ability, the researchers found, required the combination of two major elements: a different kind of camera and a specialized type of neural network (convolutional) that has been programmed to work in ways similar to the animal visual cortex.
The use of the network was an obvious choice, the software allows for learning, which is what animals must do in order to survive, in this case, learning about how to interpret movement. Giving one to a robot could help it learn to predict target movements. What was truly novel in this new work was the use of a silicon based camera, which was not really a normal camera at all. Modern digital cameras capture all of the information that passes through a lens at a given time, allowing for the production of a picture, or a video. But animal eyes do not really work that way—in addition to collecting information about color, brightness and the other information needed to form a picture, they also have parts that are sensitive to movement and change. To give a robot such an ability, the team used what they describe as a silicon retina—it senses changes the way animals do (except it uses pixels instead of neurons), which is critical for pursuing prey. Adding both to a tractor shaped robot gave it an ability to track and follow the movements of another similar robot, in real time.
To ward off fears of robots tracking people and killing them, the researchers noted that tracking and following is used in many non-threatening ways, such as children following their parents. They note also that a robot of the future with such abilities might translate to piece of luggage or a grocery cart able to follow a person around so they do not have to lug or steer it.

As Valentine’s Day is once again upon us, I thought I would dust off a couple of very popular post from the past. The first appropriately dealing with love and the second dealing with the healthy benefits of chocolate. That’s right chocolate – at least dark, and in moderation is good for you! Who would of thought, right?
Hope you enjoy.
10 Reasons Why Love Is All You Need
Perhaps the Beatles got it right all those years ago. Love is all you need. At least that’s what the continuing flow of research implies—people with good social connections, and plenty of them, enjoy better health. It works both ways. People who suffer loneliness and isolation are two to five times more likely to die prematurely, and those who say they feel loved have less serious health problems, even when they have other high risk factors. Some research results:
- People with close relationships recover faster from injury and illness.
- Heart disease patients who reported that they felt the most loved and supported had less coronary artery blockage than others.
- Women with breast cancer who joined support groups had better long-term survival rates.
- Having a friend with you at a stressful event can lower your blood pressure and heart rate.
- Pet owners with heart disease are less likely to die early than those without pets.
Chocolate: Food of the Gods?
With Valentine’s day just around the corner, I thought it appropriate to write about the “food of the gods” or cacao, better know today as good ol’ chocolate.
Let’s start with a bit of history. Cacao was first cultivated in 250-900 A.D. by the Maya civilization. According to ancient Mayan texts, cocoa is of divine origin and is considered a gift from the gods. Cocoa was said to have nourishing, fortifying, and aphrodisiac qualities. Pre-Columbian societies were known to use chocolate as medicine, too. Spanish conquistador Hernán Cortés, who first brought cocoa beans back to Spain from the new world in 1528 said, “a cup of this invaluable, refreshing and nourishing drink permitted a man to walk for a whole day without food.” Nutrition researcher, Michael Levine, described chocolate as being the world’s perfect food—at least chemically speaking.
February is American Heart Month—and a good time to reflect on the sobering fact that heart disease remains the number one killer of both women and men in the United States. But there is some good news – you have the power to protect and improve your heart health.
Know Your Risks, Protect Your Heart
Research has found that you can lower your risk for heart disease simply by adopting sensible health habits (see references below). To protect your heart, the first step is to learn your own personal risk factors for heart disease. Risk factors are conditions or habits that make you more likely to develop a disease. Risk factors can also increase the chances that an existing disease will get worse.
Certain risk factors—like getting older or having a family history of heart disease—can’t be changed. But you do have control over some important risk factors such as:
- High blood cholesterol
- High blood pressure
- Excess weight
- Physical inactivity
Unfortunately, many people have more than one risk factor. To ensure a healthy heart, it’s best to lower or eliminate as many as you can because they tend to “gang up” and worsen each other’s effects.
Scientists have found that middle-aged adults with one or more elevated risk factors, such as high blood pressure, were much more likely to have a heart attack or other major heart related event during their remaining lifetime than people with optimal levels of risk factors.
To address your heart risk factors, it helps to know your numbers. Ask your health care provider to measure your blood cholesterol and blood pressure. These tests are usually conducted during an annual checkup or may be available free or at low cost during health fares or even at your local drugstore or pharmacy. Finally, determine if your weight is in the healthy range.
Focus on the Risk Factors:
The higher your cholesterol level, the greater your risk for heart disease or heart attack. High blood cholesterol itself doesn’t cause symptoms, so you can’t know if your cholesterol is too high unless you have it tested. Routine blood tests can show your overall cholesterol level and separate levels of LDL (“bad”) cholesterol, HDL (“good”) cholesterol and triglycerides (the main form of fat in the body). All of these blood measurements are linked to your heart health.
High Blood Pressure
High blood pressure (hypertension) is another major risk factor for heart disease, as well as for stroke. High blood pressure is often called the “silent killer” because, like high cholesterol, it usually has no symptoms. Blood pressure is always reported as two numbers, and any numbers above 120/80 mmHg raise your risk of heart disease and stroke.
Your weight is another important number to know. To find out if you need to lose weight to reduce your risk of heart disease, you’ll need to calculate your body mass index (BMI, a ratio of weight to height). A BMI between 25 and 29.9 means that you’re overweight, while a BMI of 30 or higher means obesity.
You can find a great BMI calculator at the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics website.
Next, take out a tape measure. A waist measurement of more than 35 inches for women and 40 inches for men raises the risk of heart disease and other serious health conditions. Fortunately, even a small weight loss (between 5% and 10% of your current weight) can help lower your risk.
A heart-healthy diet includes a variety of fruits, vegetables and whole grains, as well as lean meats, poultry, fish, beans and fat free or low-fat dairy products. Try to avoid saturated fat, trans fat, cholesterol, sodium (salt) and added sugar.
Regular physical activity is another powerful way to reduce your risk of heart-related problems and enjoy a host of other health benefits. To make physical activity a pleasure rather than a chore, choose activities you enjoy. Take a brisk walk, play ball, lift light weights, dance or garden. Even taking the stairs instead of an elevator can make a difference.
Protect Your Heart
Here is that list again of the things you can do for a healthier heart and a longer life:
- Don’t smoke.
- Maintain healthy cholesterol levels and blood pressure.
- Maintain a healthy weight.
- Choose more heart-healthy foods.
- Get and stay active.
- Know your family history.
- Learn the signs that something’s wrong.

American healthy eating habits declined slightly in 2011, after improving in 2010. According to the Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index, the number of Americans reporting eating five or more servings of fruits and vegetable at least four days a week dropped last year effectively erasing gains reported from 2009 to 2010.
Gallup suggested that one reason for the decline may be related to the reported lack of accessible and affordable fresh fruits and vegetables in local communities. This comment is made in spite of the fact that in 2010, 92% of Americans report having access to affordable produce where they live.
Based upon this high degree of access to healthy foods, one has to ask why health problems related to healthy eating–obesity, type-2 diabetes, coronary heart disease–continue to rise in this country. If access to health foods is not the issue, then one must assume lifestyle choices as the culprit.
As a country, we continue to make poor choices regarding the food we eat–fast food rather than slow food. We still do not include sufficient exercise in our daily lives–spending hours each day sitting rather than moving.
A few simple lifestyle changes can go a long way to improving your health and reducing the amount of money you spend on healthcare each year. Healthy eating and exercise can help to reduce the risk of ALL of the leading causes of death.
Try these 5 simple changes or swaportunities.
1. Eat more plants.
Snack on fruits and vegetables rather than donuts and sweets.
2. Get moving.
Sitting for more than an hour or so at a stretch is deadly. Get up, stretch, walk around. Do some deep knee bends or go climb a couple flights of stairs.
3. Drink one less soda.
Replace one soda each day with water. Add a slice of lemon or orange for flavoring if needed.
4. Take the stairs.
Use the stairs rather than an elevator or escalator to change floors.
5. Try a green salad instead of fries.
Eat a salad rather than fries with your fast food lunch one day each week.
Share your thoughts or swaportunity ideas
A new diet plan? No, just a new way of thinking about food, according to consumer psychologist Dr. Brian Wansink, author of Mindless Eating: Why We Eat More Than We Think.
Dieters may not need as much willpower as they think, if you make simple changes in your surroundings that can result in eating healthier without a second thought.
“Our homes are filled with hidden eating traps,” said Dr. Wansink. “Most of us have too much chaos going on in our lives to consciously focus on every bite we eat. The secret is to change your environment so it works for you not against you.”
One of his studies showed that people lost up to 2 pounds a month after making several simple changes in their environment, including these:
- Eat off salad plates instead of large dinner plates (note the difference in size in the above image).
- Keep unhealthy foods out of immediate line of sight and move healthier foods to eye-level in the cupboard and refrigerator.
- Eat in the kitchen or dining room, not in front of the TV.
“These simple strategies are far more likely to succeed than willpower alone. It’s easier to change your environment than to change your mind,” he said.
Here’s another technique from Wansink that may be worth trying—it’s called the mindless margin. If you try to reduce you calorie intake by too much at any one time—500 or more calories per day—your body and mind will notice making you feel hungry and ornery.
However, if you reduce your calorie consumption by 200-300 per day, your body and mind may not even become aware. Over the course of a month this can amount to a loss of 2 1/2 pounds. While that may not seem like much, over a year that 2 1/2 pounds could result in a 30 pound weight loss. Not bad for just having one less Blueberry muffin or replacing one Starbuck’s Grande White Chocolate Mocha per day with a cup of black coffee.
I’m sure you can think of many more ways to mindlessly drop 200-300 calories per day from your diet. So, what are you going to do today to mindlessly reduce your calories? Share your thoughts and ideas below.

If you are a regular reader of the Well-Being Blog, you’re aware that exercise is a vital part of a successful plan to stay fit. But are you aware that the foods you eat and the liquids you drink can help you reach your fitness goals faster? The snacks eaten before your workout can ensure your body is getting the right raw materials it needs to provide the needed energy during your workout and to repair muscle afterward.
So, it’s important to pick the right foods that give the most energy regardless of your activity level. Carbohydrates are the first responders to the body’s need for energy during exercise. Protein and fat are not nearly as efficient.
Hit the trail or the gym with the following healthy food ideas before and after your workout, suggests Anita M. Kobuszewski, MS, RD, author of Food: Field to Fork, How to Grow Sustainably, Shop Wisely, Cook Nutritiously, and Eat Deliciously:
- Whole-grain bagel with peanut butter and yogurt
- Thin-crust pizza with green peppers
- Granola with low-fat milk and banana
- Trail mix with nuts and dried fruit (see Walk the Trail Mix recipe)
- Instant oatmeal made with low-fat milk
- Bran or corn muffin with egg whites and salsa
- Fig bars with peanut butter and 100% juice
Don’t forget hydration
Hydration during and after exercise is also vital. But should it be water or a sports drink? According to the American Dietetic Association’s Sports, Cardiovascular and Wellness Dietetic Practice Group, unless you work out an hour or more—or are an extremely heavy sweater—water, yes plain water is the perfect hydration drink for the average person.
Walk the Trail Mix
Here’s a recipe for a great quick energy boost included in Kobuszewski’s book, Food: Field to Fork, How to Grow Sustainably, Shop Wisely, Cook Nutritiously, and Eat Deliciously, ideal for eating on the go.
1/2 cup cherries, dried, not packed
1/2 cup apples, dried, pieces

Let’s face it, healthy eating can be difficult at times. If you’re like most Americans, you find it hard to consume the recommended amount of fruits and vegetables in your daily diet. In fact, our lives are so busy (from getting ready for work, commuting to work, working, and coming home to work the “second shift”) that it’s hard enough just finding time to eat—let alone finding time to eat the recommended 5-9 servings of fruits and vegetables.
But have no fear—there’s no reason to get down about your diet. Here you’ll find three strategies that will help you eat great throughout the day, no matter where you are, what your budget is like, or how much time you have.
Incorporate Fruits And Vegetables Into Every Meal.
If you think about it, fruits and veggies are actually some of the fastest and simplest foods to eat and cook with. Below you’ll find some ideas on how to fit fruits and vegetables into your daily eating routine.
Try a half cup of blueberries or slice a banana or some strawberries on top of your usual bowl of cereal. You may also want to drink some fruit juice. As long as it’s 100% juice, just six ounces counts as one serving toward your Five A Day. Remember, the real thing is best, but 100% juice will do if that’s all that is available
Pack some carrot sticks or broccoli for dipping instead of those greasy potato chips. Not only will you get one of your five a day servings out of the way, but you’ll cut fat and calories at the same time. For added taste you might consider dipping your veggies in a small amount of hummus.
There’s nothing like a baked potato as part of a healthy dinner—as long as you don’t load it up with toppings that increase calories and fat. Also, cooking up a can of corn or green beans in the microwave is about as simple as it gets.
Make Your Fruits And Veggies Work For You
Depending on what you buy and when, fresh fruits and veggies can be expensive. But they don’t have to be. Check out these tips for saving big when it comes to getting your Five A Day.
Be A Bargain Hunter
When learning how to shop smart for fruits and vegetables, you will need to learn your prices. Once you have a good idea of what constitutes a good deal, you’ll be able to load up on your favorite items. Don’t forget, it helps tremendously if you can buy produce that’s in season and local. You won’t pay extra to have it shipped. Better still, buy your fruits and vegetables at a farmers market. You will likely get the freshest most flavor items that are currently in season.
Once you learn to recognize a bargain when you see one, chances are you’ll have too much produce to eat before it spoils. The solution? Just freeze it. There’s nothing wrong with freezing fruit. It keeps very well and in some cases, can make fruit even easier to work with. Consider refrigerating bananas—the skins may darken, but they’ll last a few days longer.
Let It Grow
Looking for the ultimate money saving technique when it comes to getting your five a day? Grow a garden! Sure, there will be some expense wrapped up in seed, water, and fertilizer, but the cost will be quite low. Plus, there’s nothing quite like the feeling of eating homegrown food. Eat healthy and start a new hobby all at once! Consider creating or joining a community garden if you don’t have the space for your own garden.
Get Your Five On The Go
There’s no doubt that Americans are working harder, and spending more time at work than at any other point in history. But that’s no excuse to eat poorly—in fact, quite the opposite is true. If we’re going to maintain our work pace, we have to make sure we’re getting the nutrition and energy we need. The fact is, you can get your five a day no matter where you are.
Eating Away From Home
The key to getting your Five A Day— even when you’re away from the house— is substituting. Just because your favorite restaurant has certain menu items, doesn’t mean you have to stick to them. Try substituting fresh fruit for fries, or vegetables in place of potato chips.
Eating In The Car
Americans are spending more and more time in their cars—either commuting to and from work, or racing around running errands. To eat healthier when you’re out and about, try keeping some dried fruit in your glove compartment (but pay attention to the increased sugar load of most commercially available dried fruit), or bring something easy like cauliflower or grapes to snack on in between stops.
Most foods people consume at work come straight from the vending machine. And these foods, rather than being loaded with healthy vitamins and minerals, are packed with extra calories and loads of fat. The following tips can help you eat healthier when you’re at the office:
- Bring your lunch. Lunch is a good opportunity to eat healthy. Bring a salad with chicken, nuts, beans and veggies. Keep it in the refrigerator.
- Avoid takeout lunches, which tend to be expensive, oversized, heavy in fat and calories, and lacking in nutrients.
- Bring healthy snacks like carrot sticks, broccoli, nuts, and dried fruit, stash some yogurt in the refrigerator.
- Avoid the vending machine with its high calorie, high sugar content food-like substances.

More than two hours after the 11:30 p.m. crash, a massive rescue operation involving two helicopters and boats from numerous jurisdictions turned into a search for a body in the darkened river.
At dawn, however, the search boats appeared to end their task, and a phalanx of emergency vehicles parked on land departed without word about whether the missing boater had been found.
Eleven people were believed to have survived the crash, and soon came ashore at the residence of Richard Stavola on Northover Place, a loop off Navesink River Road in Middletown. According to an unconfirmed report, the missing boater was a man about 50 years old.
At about 1:45 a.m., State Police officers on the scene walked a handcuffed man in a white collared shirt and checkered shorts up the property’s long brick driveway, frisked him, and put him in a State Police truck.
Authorities were mum, however, on the reason for the arrest, as well as whatever they knew of the accident. Middletown police referred all inquiries to the State Police, which had assumed command of the operation. A State Trooper told reporters on the scene that that matter was under investigation and that they should “call headquarters Monday morning.”
A aural witness to the accident told redbankgreen what she heard and saw immediately afterward.
Amanda Lynn, of Grange Avenue in Fair Haven, said she was sitting with her dog on a bench overlooking the river at the north end of her street nearly opposite Northover Place when she said she heard the engine of a single boat traveling east. She said she heard a crash, and thought the boat had struck a buoy.
“I stood up, and saw a boat start going around in circles, and heard people yelling for someone,” Lynn said. “I knew something was happening.”
She ran to a nearby house and had someone call 911. A Monmouth County dispatcher told the caller that a numerous reports of the accident had already come in, Lynn said.
A first aid responder on the scene in Marine Park in Red Bank, where numerous emergency personnel gathered for several hours after the accident, told redbankgreen that callers had reported hearing “a hell of a crash.”
The reports triggered a massive response involving fireboats from Red Bank, Fair Haven, Middletown, the State Police Marine unit and other jurisdictions. Divers from Red Bank, Highlands and Howell took turns searching the darkened river, which was flat calm.
Two helicopters repeatedly swept the river and its banks for signs of the missing boater, cutting through the thick, hot night with beams of light.
“It was like a movie out here last night,” said a tender on the Oceanic Bridge.
Meantime, three women wrapped in blankets sat inside a Middletown first aid ambulance, and were later transferred to a Red Bank ambulance that had recently arrived.
At least a dozen neighbors stopped at the scene at different moments to see what was happening, but officials offered nothing because, many said, they knew nothing.
At Marine Park a half-dozen ambulances joined a fire department ladder truck that shone a bright light onto the water while onlookers gathered on a waterfront promenade. In Fair Haven, rescue squad personnel stood at the ready at Grange Avenue.
