It's reported a highly academic Christian teenager has been killed in his classroom in Pakistan.

Sharoon Masih from the Vehari District in the Punjab is said to have suffered years of institutional peer bullying and discrimination because of his faith.
Coming from a poor background, his parents saved up to pay for his education at MC Model Boys Government High School Burewala and District Vehari.
The only Christian in his class, Sharoon was regularly called derogatory names and threatened.
He died in the classroom after reportedly being attacked by a mob.

The school's head teacher has since been dismissed, and the prime suspect has been arrested.
Speaking to the British Paskistani Christian Association (BPCA), his mother Razia Bibi, said: "My son was a kind-hearted, hard-working and affable boy. He has always been loved by teachers and pupils alike and shared great sorrow that he was being targeted by students at his new school because of his faith.
"Sharoon and I cried every night as he described the daily torture he was subjected to. He only told me about the abuse and violence he was facing. He did not want to upset his father because he had such a caring heart for others."
"This killing of a young Christian teenager at school, serves only to remind us that hatred towards non-Muslims is bred into the majority population at a young age, through cultural norms and a biased national curriculum.
"This young family will have to cope with the immense emotional pain of a totally avoidable incident. It is a poor indictment of MC Model Boys Government High School that a Christian could be targeted in this fashion.
"However by no means is such treatment an anomaly - it is an expectation that Christians will face abuse and violence during the years in the educational system."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017_North_Korean_nuclear_test

North Korea conducted its sixth nuclear test on 3 September 2017, according to Japanese and South Korean officials. The Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs also concluded that North Korea conducted a nuclear test.[6] The United States Geological Survey reported an earthquake of 6.3-magnitude not far from North Korea's Punggye-ri nuclear test site.[7]

North Korea claimed that it detonated a hydrogen bomb that can be loaded onto an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) with great destructive power.[10]

Photos of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un inspecting a device resembling a thermonuclear weapon warhead were released a few hours before the test.[11]

According to estimates of Kim Young-Woo, the chief of the South Korean parliament's defense committee, the nuclear yield was equivalent to about 100 kilotons of TNT (100 kt). "The North's latest test is estimated to have a yield of up to 100 kilotons, though it is a provisional report," Kim Young-Woo told Yonhap News Agency.[2]

Sen. Jeff Flake of Arizona disparaged President Donald Trump’s promise to erect a physical border wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, arguing “nobody ought to support” the idea.
“Obviously all of us believe in border security. It depends what he means by the wall and we still really haven’t seen what he means by the wall,” Flake said on CNN’s State of the Union. “If that’s a metaphor for border security we can support that but if he’s talking about a solitary, brick and mortar two thousand mile edifice on the border, then no, nobody ought to support that.”
Immigration has played a key role in Trump’s recent attacks on Flake. Trump has repeatedly called the Arizona conservative “weak” on border security and has expressed public support for his primary challenger Dr. Kelli Ward.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel said on Sunday she would seek an end to Turkey's membership talks with the European Union in an apparent shift of her position during a televised debate weeks before a German election.

"The fact is clear that Turkey should not become a member of the EU," Merkel said in the debate with her Social Democrat (SPD) challenger Martin Schulz.
Erdogan urges Turks in Germany to vote against Angela Merkel
"I'll speak to my [EU] colleagues to see if we can reach a joint position on this so that we can end these accession talks," Merkel added.

The comments are likely to worsen already strained ties between the two NATO allies that have deepened since Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's crackdown on opponents in the aftermath of a failed coup attempt in July of last year.
There was no immediate reaction from Turkey which is in the midst of a national religious holiday.

They were arrested Friday . Church, a high school junior, became friends with Rajman after meeting him in January at a convenience store, and Swinton is her ex-boyfriend, according to reports. Rajman, was killed on the evening of July 3 when they entered his home in West Boca Raton. The killers reportedly argued with Rajman and shot him before driving away. Police say Church masterminded the murder. She agreed to be interviewed by detectives over 12 hours on three days.

Since leaving office, the former president has been relatively quiet, choosing very carefully when to address the news of the day. Obama’s absence has left a void that House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) have been unable to fill and one that has led to a contentious relationship between the libertarian-leaning, Bernie Sanders-supporting wing of the party and its more politically moderate, Hillary Clinton-supporting, establishment wing.

This fractured relationship was clearly evident in the 2016 presidential campaign. Bad blood between Sanders and Clinton supporters during the presidential primary spilled over into the Democratic convention and hampered Clinton’s ability to unite the base in the general election. While Clinton certainly ran a flawed campaign that suffered from weak messaging and questionable strategic choices, it’s undeniable that soft support from the “Bernie wing” of the party contributed to her historic loss.

Rising stars Sens. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) and Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) seem to have the rare ability to unite the party and excite the various factions making up the base. While the senators originate from very different sections of the country, their paths to elected office are extremely similar. Both women began their careers as attorneys prior to landing in the U.S. Senate. Both women have publicly endorsed a single-payer health-care system. Harris recently said, “It’s not only about what’s morally and ethically right. It also just makes sense from a fiscal standpoint or a return on investment for taxpayers.”

A grizzly that was struck by a car travelling at about 100 km/h in Alberta doesn't seem to have suffered any lasting injuries, says the ecologist who later captured the bear to check him out.

Bear 164 was crossing the Trans-Canada Highway near Lac Des Arcs, east of Canmore, on July 28 when he was struck by a vehicle, according to John Paczkowski, an ecologist for the Kananaskis area with Alberta Environment and Parks.

"The vehicle, I believe, was undriveable after the accident," said Paczkowski.

"We were fully expecting to go in and pick up a carcass."

The bear moved about 75 metres off the highway and stayed in one place for a while, leading Paczkowski and the other officials to assume he had crawled off to die.

But by the next morning, the grizzly was on the move.

Three days later, a conservation officer shot video of him moving around easily with just a slight limp, Paczkowski said.

On the advice of a veterinarian, parks officers waited about three weeks and then captured the bear at the Spray Lakes day-use area on Aug. 16 to assess him and put a new collar on him.

"We went over him twice head to toe with trained personnel, looking for any sign of injury, and we could not externally see any source of injury on the bear," he said.

'We went over him twice head to toe … and we could not see any source of injury.'
- Parks ecologist John Paczkowski
"I can't imagine being hit by a car at 100 km/h and three days later walking around, and then three weeks later he looks to be in pretty good shape."

The examination even revealed the bear had increased in weight from 70 kilograms to 133 kilograms in the last 14½ months.

Bear 164 first captured when courting

Bear 164 is believed to be about seven years old.

>Millions of muslims are currently in mecha for their big pilgrimage, a peak in muslim life.

The reason is the intensified border controls imposed by the Trump government against a number of Muslim

The National Hurricane Center said Irma strengthened to a Category 2 hurricane Thursday morning with 100 mph sustained winds.

Irma was moving west-northwest at 10 mph and is forecast to become a major hurricane by the evening.

The National Hurricane Center said Irma is expected to be "an extremely dangerous hurricane for the next several days."

Irma is still thousands of miles away from South Florida.

Local 10 News chief certified meteorologist Betty Davis said the U.S. and European computer models show slightly different directions for Irma.

"So we want to pay particular attention to this particular system over the coming days," Davis said. "Too soon to say whether it's going to track toward South Florida or be a threat for us."

PHILIPPINES PRESIDENT RODRIGO DUTERTE TOLD REPORTERS WEDNESDAY THAT, FOLLOWING THE LIBERATION OF THE GRAND MOSQUE OF MARAWI, THE NATION’S MILITARY COULD NOW BOMB MOSQUES, MADRASSAS, AND OTHER HIDING CENTERS TO FINALLY ELIMINATE THE ISLAMIC STATE PRESENCE IN THE CITY.

Marawi is the Philippines’ only official Islamic city, as over 90 percent of the country identifies as Roman Catholic. The Maute Group and Abu Sayyaf, local Islamic State affiliates, attacked the city in May, taking hostages, killing civilians, and selling many as sex slaves. The Philippine military stated this week that it is organizing a final siege to remove all ISIS terrorists from the city.
Duterte told the military on Wednesday that “the option is already yours” to bomb any remaining ISIS strongholds “because we cannot have stalemate [sic] for over one year,” according to regional website Rappler.

Houston police catch 14 armed robbers and looters amid flood emergency

Inevitably every major metropolitan crisis brings out the best and worst of what humanity has to offer. While hundreds/thousands of people have rushed into Houston following the epic destruction of Hurricane Harvey to help in any way possible, others have once again predictably chosen to exploit the misery of others by looting abandoned shopping centers, robbing empty homes and even breaking into the Houston Apple Store (by shooting through the front door).

Those arrested will face stiffer punishments under a Texas law providing heftier penalties during a crisis, prosecutors announced Tuesday.
"People displaced or harmed in this storm are not going to be easy prey," Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg said.
Burglarizing a home would normally bring a penalty of two to 20 years in prison, but now brings five years to life.
"This is the state of Texas. We are a welcoming city, but we are not going to tolerate people victimizing others," Acevedo said.

"Don't come to Houston because you're going to be caught," Acevedo said. "That's despicable behavior."

Secretary of the Treasury Steve Mnuchin and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell just paid a visit to Fort Knox to see the U.S. gold supply. Mnuchin is only the third Treasury secretary in history ever to visit Fort Knox and this was the first official visit from Washington, D.C., since 1974.
The U.S. government likes to ignore gold and not draw attention to it. Official visits to Fort Knox give gold some monetary credence that central banks would prefer it does not have.

Why an impromptu visit by Mnuchin and McConnell? Why now?
The answer may lie in the fact that the Treasury is running out of cash and could be broke by Sept. 29 if Congress does not increase the debt ceiling by then.
But the Treasury could get $355 billion in cash from thin air without increasing the debt simply by revaluing U.S. gold to a market price. (U.S. gold is currently officially valued at $42.22 per ounce on the Treasury’s books versus a market price of $1,285 per ounce.)
Once the Treasury revalues the gold, the Treasury can issue new “gold certificates” to the Fed and demand newly printed money in the Treasury’s account under the Gold Reserve Act of 1934. Since this money comes from gold revaluation, it does not increase the national debt and no debt ceiling legislation is required.

This would be a way around the debt ceiling if Congress cannot increase it in a timely way. This weird gold trick was actually done by the Eisenhower administration in 1953.
