…..It was probably aliens bumping Pink Floyd’s music.
WHOLE CLASS OF FIRST GRADERS LEARN SIGN LANGUAGE TO COMMUNICATE WITH DEAF CLASSMATE……Wonderful story…..a school in Sarajevo not only accepted a deaf student but is also teaching the entire class sign language to allow them to better communicate with him…..last September Mirzana Coralic asked the primary school in her neighborhood to enroll her 6-year-old son Zejd…..who has a hearing disability…..the teacher accepted him immediately…..on the first day she noticed him sitting by himself and unable to communicate with the other students…..so she tried developing a few signs of her own.….another parent came up with a better idea…..teach the entire class sign…..they hired a sign language teacher and within three months…..the entire class could communicate with Zejd, help him with his homework and play games together…..and now the teacher hopes that sign language can be included as a part of the official curriculum.
COP STOPS FELLOW OFFICER FROM CHOCKING HANDCUFFED MAN, THEN SHE WAS BEATEN AND FIRED….Back in 2006 Officer Cariol Horne stepped in and stopped the attack of a defenseless citizen…..when she realized a fellow officer was chocking a handcuffed person…..for attempting to do this good deed.….she was fired and then dismissed from the Buffalo Police Department…..after 19 years of service…..and she was one year shy of her required 20 years to get her pension……just because she took a stand against illegal police violence…..officer Gregory Kwiatkowski responded to a domestic dispute..…and when officer Horne entered the house she saw the suspect had been placed under arrest….and was being punched in the face..…repeatedly….she said she and 10 other officers brought the suspect outside..…and Kwiatkowski went right back to work on beating him again.….she told him to chill man.….he turned around and punched her in the face….no charges were ever raised against him…..but officer Horne was charged with obstruction……13 counts…including obstruction for jumping on the guys back and/or striking him with her hands…..even thought Kwiatkowski said she never got on top of him….she filed numerous arbitration hearing but was eventually found guilty of the charges….later on in 2014, Kwiatkowski and two fellow officers were indicted on federal civil rights violations against African-American teenagers…..oh, I forgot to mention this..…officer Horne is black….and a documentary is being made about her case in hope to reignite her case to national attention.
CANADA’S CAPE BRETON WILL WELCOME AMERICAN REFUGEES FLEEING PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP……And it sounds like a nice place to run to…..Rob Calabrese who is a radio show host set up a website called “Cape Breton if Donald Trump wins”..…with a message saying..… “If that happens and you decide to get the hell out of there, might I suggest moving to Cape Breton Island”…..and he’s already received hundreds of emails from Americans who are interested in leaving.….and this is what you get…..the island is very diverse.….English, French, Mi´kmaq and Gaelic are spoken there….summer temps are in the 80’s and winter is similar to the Northeast….free healthcare….a new home..…and you know your neighbors and they look out for you and nobody has a gun…but he’s honest about some of the challenges the island is facing.….high unemployment and a declining population.
FRENCH RESTAURANT BANS BANKERS FOR DENYING OWNER LOAN…..But dogs are welcomed….This is the Les Ecuries de Richelieu restaurant….and he’s pissed because he’s been repeatedly turned down for a €70,000 ($77,000) loan to open a second branch….outside of his eatery sits a blackboard which states….loud and clear….. “Dogs accepted, bankers banned, unless they pay an entry fee of €70,000”…..hey, I like this guy!
CAN DOGS FLY PLANES? NEW REALITY SHOW WANTS TO FIND OUT….I don’t know about you..…but if I board a flight home and I see Spot sitting in the Captain’s seat…..I’m turning around.….but in the United Kingdom there will be a new show called….Dogs Might Fly….ah Terry, Michael, Catherine, we need to talk….anyway,…..now the internet has plenty of videos of dogs driving cars…..but planes?…..you and I could come up with a truck load of things which could go wrong…..but the TV producers are willing to see what’s up…..because they think dogs have distinct personalities and incredible levels of intelligence…..they identified 12 of the smartest dogs out of 100,000…..they were put through an intensive 10 week training session and watch by animal behaviorist.….the test assessed the dogs memory, reasoning ability, communication and empathy…..and then the best were sent to flight school…..and tested for their response to stimuli and try to acclimatize them to high altitudes…..and of course there is the canine shrink who is against the idea….his reasoning… “Given that we would not expect a three-year-old to be able to fly a plane, I would not expect a dog could do so either”……finally….someone with some smarts!
THE SULTAN WHO HAD THE MOST CHILDREN IN THE WORLD….Wow!…..talk about paying child support…..Moulay Islail……the first Sultan of the Moroccan Alaouite dynasty….. had the longest period of reign in the history of his country (1672-1727) was known to have more than 1,000 rugrats.….he also claimed to be a descent from Muhammad…..the founder of Islam..…now according to the Guinness Book of World Records..…they said he had 888 children…..which they can verify…..but Dominique Busnot…..a French diplomat recorded that dude could have actually had 1,171…..from his official four wives.….and 500 concubines in 1704…..he was 57 and ruled for 32 years……now scientists are saying he could not have had that many children..…because women can only get pregnant within a few days each month…..infertility, disease, sterility…..but there are some who say it was possible….Islail just needed to maintain accurate sex frequency from 0.83 to 1.43 time per day to be the father of 1,171 children in 32 years…..and he didn’t need four wives or 500 concubines to do it…..just 65 to 110 woman would’ve worked.….and my man way a brutal S.O.B…..he beheaded 400 people……enemy chiefs, political rivals and killed over 30,000 people…..not including the enemies killed in battle…..plus he severely punished any woman with suspicion of adultery and unfaithful concubines by personally strangling them to death or ordered their breasts cut off and their teeth pulled out…..and if someone was eyeing one of his ladies…..he would have them killed.
FOUR-YEAR-OLD EGYPTIAN BOY IS SENTENCED TO LIFE IN JAIL FOR COMMITTING FOUR MURDERS WHEN HE WAS ONE…..Ahmed Mansour Karni was convicted in absentia on four counts of murder, eight of attempted murder, vandalizing property, disturbing the peace and threatening police officers…..when he was only one and a half years old…..he was part of a list of 115 defendants who were all given life sentences at a military court in Cairo…..his name was added to the list by mistake…..but the court refused to accept documents proving his age.….Egyptian lawyer Mohammed Abu Hurira says..… “this case proves that the Egyptian scales of justice are not reversible and there is no justice in Egypt”…..since 2013…..Egypt has been ruled by a military dictatorship under President Abdel Fatah-al-Sisi.
