VfB's gunna enjoy this one; the scumbags are trying so hard for a gun grab...but all we need to do is to reinstate FIREARM SAFETY, like we used to do in school; now that it was removed from school, THIS IS WHAT YOU GET, NITWITS
There's nothing clever or cute in harassing people in a bloody supermarket; and worse, this low-rent Johnny Cochran HAD A GUN IN HIS BAG!!!
So, let's suppose they ran into a guy like VfB - sounds like a bad day for someone
My last point...does he breathe through his eyes? Why can't he sit, if he can't see?
What is the role of a CONSTABLE?
2. An officer of the peace. In England, there are high constables, petty constables, and constables of London. The high constables are chosen at the court leets of the franchise or hundred over which they preside, or in default of that, by the justices of the quarter sessions, and are removable by the same authority that appoints them. The petty constables are chosen by the jury of the court leet, or if no court is held, they are appointed by two justices of the peace. In London, a constable is nominated in each precinct by the inhabitants, and confirmed at the court of wardmote. The duty of constables is to keep the peace, and for this purpose they are invested with the power of arresting and imprisoning, and of breaking open houses.
In the United States, constables are town or city officers of the peace, with powers similar to those possessed by the constables in Great Britain. They are invested also with powers to execute civil as well as criminal process, and to levy executions. In New England, they are elected by the inhabitants of towns in legal meeting.

The YAK is back!
Sean Diddy Combs is in custody!
Finally Justice is coming down on Sean “Diddy” Combs previously known as Puff Daddy, Puffy and P. Diddy who was just arrested in New York ...
Lawsuits have been filed against Combs as recently as last week. Dawn Richard of Danity Kane, a girl group formed by Combs, filed a suit on Sept. 10 accusing him of sexual and physical abuse. The complaint, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, alleges Combs was abusive throughout the eight years he and Richard worked together. Richard accused him of groping her, threatening her and subjecting her to “inhumane working conditions,” such as depriving Richard and her band mates of food and sleep for up to 48 hours “because he was high on drugs.” In the suit, Richard also claims to have witnessed Combs become physically violent with other women, including Cassie whose legal name is Casandra Ventura and Kim Porter, his former partners. In a statement provided by Combs’s attorney, so you know this is a lie considering Diddy denied ever hitting Cassie and than we saw it for ourselves on video. So I personally think them claiming denial is a bit late and for his statement saying this was a “series of false claims” and accused Richard of seeking “a payday.” Get real... This is Justice coming down finally on a person who has had this coming for 3 decades close to 4.

To visit a sauna is a part of the Finnish culture with more than 3 million saunas. For a population of 5.3 million, this equals to an average of one sauna per household – even in the parliament, you will find one.
The Finnish sauna culture
For the Finns, there are many traditions and practices concerning the
sauna experience. The most important one for them is to relax,
purifying both body and mind. In fact, the word “sauna” is Finnish?
Whether an electric sauna in a modern business environment or an
old-fashioned wood-burning sauna by a lakeside cottage, a sauna is
always near you.

Is Extreme Racism a Mental Illness? Yes
It can be a delusional symptom of psychotic disorders
Alvin F Poussaint, Professor of psychiatry1
Extreme racist delusions can also occur as a major symptom in other
psychotic disorders, such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Persons
suffering delusions usually have serious social dysfunction that
impairs their ability to work with others and maintain employment.
As a clinical psychiatrist, I have treated several patients who projected
their own unacceptable behavior and fears onto ethnic minorities,
scapegoating them for society's problems. Their strong racist feelings,
which were tied to fixed belief systems impervious to reality checks,
were symptoms of serious mental dysfunction. When these patients became
more aware of their own problems, they grew less paranoid—and less
prejudiced.
It is time for the American Psychiatric Association to designate extreme
racism as a mental health problem by recognizing it as a delusional
psychotic symptom. Persons afflicted with such psychopathology represent
an immediate danger to themselves and others. Clinicians need
guidelines for recognizing delusional racism in all its forms so that
they can provide appropriate treatment. Otherwise, extreme delusional
racists will continue to fall through the cracks of the mental health
system, and we can expect more of them to explode and act out their
deadly delusions.

As to the title: a couple of seconds before the end of the promo, you'll see an African child with a huge cranium - there's no way he'll survive where he is without assistance
In what may be a major archaeological breakthrough, an independent researcher has suggested that the earliest writing in human history has been hiding in plain sight in prehistoric cave paintings in Europe, a discovery that would push the timeline of written language back by tens of thousands of years, reports a new study.
Hundreds of European caves are decorated with mesmerizing paintings of animals and other figures that were made by our species between roughly 15,000 and 40,000 years ago, during the Palaeolithic Age when humans were still hunter-gatherers. These cave paintings often include non-figurative markings, such as dots and lines, that have evaded explanation for decades.
Ben Bacon, a furniture conservator based in London, U.K. who has described himself as “effectively a person off the street,” happened to notice these markings while admiring images of European cave art, and developed a hunch that they could be decipherable. Now, Bacon has unveiled what he believes is “the first known writing in the history of Homo sapiens,” in the form of a prehistoric lunar calendar, according to a study published on Thursday in the Cambridge Archeological Journal.
“I think that the cave paintings fascinate us all because of their beauty and visceral immediacy,” Bacon told Motherboard in an email. “I was idly looking at Palaeolithic paintings one night on the Web and noticed, purely by chance, that a large number of animals had what I took to be numbers associated with them.”
Intrigued by the markings, Bacon launched a meticulous effort to decode them, with a particular focus on lines, dots, and a Y-shaped symbol that show up in hundreds of cave paintings.
Previous researchers have suggested that these symbols could be some form of numerical notation, perhaps designed to count the number of animals sighted or killed by these prehistoric artists. Bacon made the leap to suggest that they form a calendar system designed to track the life cycles of animals depicted in the paintings. He enlisted leading archaeologists from Durham University and the University College London to develop the idea and co-author the new study.
“That we are looking for number-based information about specific prey animals is therefore our point of departure,” the researchers explained in the study. “It seems to us unnecessary to need to convey information about the numbers of individual animals, the times they have been sighted, or the number of successful kills.”
“It seems far more likely that information pertinent to predicting their migratory movements and periods of aggregation, i.e. mating and birthing when they are predictably located in some number and relatively vulnerable, would be of greatest importance for survival,” they added.
The researchers note that the paintings are never accompanied by more than 13 of these lines and dots, which could mean that they denote lunar months. The lunar calendar they envision would not track time across years, but would be informally rebooted each year during a time in late winter or early spring known as the “bonne saison.” The “Y” symbol, which is commonly drawn directly on or near animal depictions, could represent birthing because it seems to show two parted legs.
“We adopt the simple solution that they started counting months at the start of the bonne saison and continued until counting became irrelevant in late winter—simply re-starting the count of months at the start of the next bonne saison,” the team said in the study. “A great advantage of this calendar is that it is stable in describing the life-cycles of animals and plants despite great geographical and cultural differences in the European Upper Palaeolithic.”
To test out this hypothesis, the team compiled a database of more than 600 line and dot sequences without the Y symbol, as well as some 250 sequences with the Y, which appear mostly in paintings from France and Spain. These sequences span tens of thousands of years, and accompany many different animal depictions, such as aurochs, birds, bison, caprids (such as goats and antelopes), deer, fish, horses, mammoths, and extinct rhinos that once lived in Europe.
After conducting a statistical analysis of the database, Bacon and his colleagues were amazed to find that their lunar calendar seems to hold up well with the patterns.
“Overall, there is a remarkable degree of correlation between the numbers of lines/dots in sequences with and without and the position of and the mating and birthing behaviors of our analytical taxa,” the researchers said in the study. “Our data do not explain everything, but even taking imprecision and regional variability into account, the degree of support for our hypothesis is striking.”
“Our data indicate that the purpose of this system of associating animals with calendar information was to record and convey seasonal behavioral information about specific prey taxa in the geographical regions of concern,” they added.
Bacon told Motherboard that putting all of this together has been “exhausting” and that the team will hold off on celebrating until they have published all of their findings. The researchers also anticipate arguments among experts around the exact definition of “writing” and whether their hypothetical calendar would neatly fall into that category.
“We do not want to press the controversial (and in many senses, semantic) question of whether writing was a Paleolithic invention; perhaps it is best described as a proto-writing system, an intermediary step between a simpler notation/convention and full-blown writing,” the researchers said in the study.”
“Assuming we have convinced colleagues of our correct identification, there will no doubt be a lively debate about precisely what this system should be called, and we are certainly open to suggestions,” they continued. “For now, we restrict our terminology to proto-writing in the form of a phenological/meteorological calendar. It implies that a form of writing existed tens of thousands of years before the earliest Sumerian writing system.”
It would be hard to overstate the magnitude of this discovery, assuming it passes muster in the wider archaeological community. It would rewrite the origins of, well, writing, which is one of the most important developments in human history. Moreover, if these tantalizing symbols represent an early calendar, they offer a glimpse of how these hunter-gatherers synchronized their lives with the natural cycles of animals and the Moon.
In short, if the new hypothesis is accurate, it shows that our Paleolithic ancestors “were almost certainly as cognitively advanced as we are” and “that they are fully modern humans,” Bacon told Motherboard. It also means “that their society achieved great art, use of numbers, and writing” and “that reading more of their writing system may allow us to gain an insight into their beliefs and cultural values,” he concluded.
