CHINA ENRAGED AFTER OBAMA ORDERS SPACEX ROCKET DESTROYED ON FLORIDA LAUNCH PAD

A new report circulating in the Kremlin today prepared by the Security Council (SC), with input from the Ministry of Defense (MoD), states that China became so “enraged” at President Obama’s ordering the destruction of a SpaceX rocket in Florida on Thursday (1 September) they refused to greet him as a visiting head-of-state upon his arrival at Hangzhou Xiaoshan International Airport (HGH) forcing America’s leader to “go out of the ass” of Air Force One and one Chinese official accosting his top National Security Advisor, Susan Rice, and screaming at her “this is our country, our airport”. [Note: Some words and/or phrases appearing in quotes in this report are English language approximations of Russian words/phrases having no exact counterpart.]
As to why President Obama was treated so “shamefully/dishonorably” by the Chinese, this report explains, was due to the United States “deliberate and calculated” military interference of a “legitimate” international business “transaction/sale deal” between China and an Israeli company named Spacecom.
According to this report, Spacecom is an Israeli communications satellite operator in the Middle East, European Union and North America headquartered in the city of Ramat Gan, Israel who agreed last month (24 August) to the sale of their company to the privately owned Chinese company Beijing Xinwei Technology Group.
The Beijing Xinwei Technology Group, this report continues, is one of China’s largest telecommunications companies that MoD analysts have long noted is “effectively owned and controlled” by the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA).

Is this presidential race the result of bitterness over a swinging relationship gone bad, or an inside job where Trump is holding his last "Trump" card to throw the fight in the final round?

Karate instructor sent nudes, lewd messages to 11-year-old boy

A 20-year-old karate instructor pleaded not guilty Tuesday to multiple charges related to allegations that she sent nude photographs to an 11-year-old student and solicited him for sex, according to Orange County Circuit Court records.
Police arrested Stephannie Lianne Figueroa on Friday, two days after a mother called police to report she had found inappropriate messages from the karate instructor on her son's cell phone.
The boy told police Figueroa sent him about 15 nude photographs and two videos in recent months. He said she rubbed his thigh on multiple occasions but stopped when he expressed his discomfort.
Figueroa, a karate instructor at Next Gen Xtreme Martial Arts in Orlando, Florida, started teaching the boy 10 months ago. However, it wasn't until January that the two started talking outside of class, through text messages and later through the messaging app Kik.
"It quickly became flirtatious," Orlando Police Officer Jimmie Toler wrote in an arrest affidavit.
The boy's mother called police on June 15 after finding messages from the instructor on her son's cell phone. In one, she wrote that she "could not wait for another sleepover at the karate school, so she could have sex with him," according to an Orlando police report. Next Gen Xtreme Martial Arts hosted a "Ninja Night Sleepover" on May 13, according to social media accounts.
The boy told police that Figueroa had been flirting with him and sending him nude photos. He detailed multiple attempts made by his karate instructor to make their relationship physical, including one from February. Alone with the 11-year-old, Figueroa allegedly slid her hand on the boy's thigh. The boy told authorities he told the instructor to stop, and she did.

Figueroa and the boy last communicated through Kik on June 14. She invited the boy to her 21st birthday party and added that her home would be empty.
"I want to have sex with you," she wrote to the boy, according to the police report.
"OK IDC (I don't care)," he responded before falling asleep.
The 11-year-old told police he had deleted the inappropriate photos and videos sent to him by Figueroa because he was afraid his mother would discover them. Figueroa sent the boy more, however, on June 16 after Toler posed as the 11-year-old on Kik and mentioned that the images had been deleted.
She was interviewed on June 17 and admitted that she had sent images and at least one video to the boy, according to police.
"She admitted she knew what she did was wrong and was sorry for what she did," Toler wrote in the arrest affidavit.
A man who identified himself as the owner of the Next Gen Martial Arts told WFTV he hired an attorney because footage from his surveillance cameras didn't show that anything happened between the instructor and the boy. At first, the man said there were never any sleepovers at the martial arts studio. He later admitted there had been. But, he said, there was never any inappropriate contact between Figueroa and the boy.
Figueroa was released on bond. She turned 21 years old on June 19.
Figueroa was charged with attempted third-degree lewd or lascivious conduct, third-degree solicitation of a minor via computer, third-degree showing obscene material to a minor, third-degree unlawful use of a two-way communication device, third-degree child abuse and first-degree contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

A Texas mattress company has sparked intense outrage after it aired a commercial promoting its “Twin Tower sale,” which ended with a pair of employees toppling two towers of mattresses, days before the 15th anniversary of 9/11.
Many people lashed out at the company, calling their promotion “disgusting” and offensive and saying Miracle Mattress should go out of business over the ad. The company issued a statement saying, “We are very sorry we have offended you.”
“Our intentions were not to hurt anyone at all,” the statement said. “Our staff is full of military and some relatives have passed away due to 9/11. We are promoters of peace and love. We have given abundantly to our community here in San Antonio and wish to remain known as a company who respects and loves others. We hope you find it in your hearts to forgive us. Please accept our apology.”
Mike Bonanno, who owns Miracle Mattress, said in a separate statement that he would hold his employees “accountable” for the “serious lapse of decency.” “I say this unequivocally, with sincere regret: The video is tasteless and an affront to the men and women who lost their lives on 9/11.”

Trump has held 32 events in August if you count the Roast on Saturday in Des Moines where he was the keynote speaker. More than 198,000 people will have participated at these events and for 7 of these events (Columbus, Harrisburg, Ashburn, Wilmington, Abingdon, West Bend and Akron) Trump had overflow crowds.

i havent been to the US for 30 years - my geography sucks as do my meterology creds. to be honest im only replying cause no one else has.
if the green spodges line up with population centres, then the government is gassing the whole area with something that slightly increases the relfectivity of radar. that color green represents light precipitation.
taking the tinfoil off now
I would guess that the green spoodges actually line up with radar stations. Some crazy how, all the readings from those stations are being interpreted incorrectly before being added to the map. i.e. some computer is mis-calculating short range radar readings, this would explain why most of them are circular.
maybe a post on /sci would get more informed responses...

The more color it is the more moisture is in the air. Its rain dumbass.

>>71714
What are you asking about?
>>71738
The "green splooges" are the radar returns from stations. The radar shows more junk near the ground where the station is. As the radar signal goes upward it will only be hitting clouds, which move, these low level stationary patterns are either geologic (ground) features or maybe stationary fog

Facebook has been filtering and censoring media and users for years, people are so used to it that this will blow over in a few days and no one will care, and Facebook will continue on its crusade to remove content it deems problematic. Hell, the whole Facebook blocking swaths of right-wing (not even far right, either) news from appearing to people and only allowing centrist/left-wing news for the most part barely generated a spark. This is even less significant, especially because it's chinks. Now, if it were a Holocaust photo, then there would be outrage.
>>
>>71484
Very true but I hope that this does not continue. Censorship is unethical.
>>
>>71485
Facebook can do whatever it wants as The social media juggernaut, so unless there's a total overhaul of the system and a mass purging of the higher-ups, it won't stop and will continue to get worse and worse. People are so desensitized to it and rely on Facebook as a vital function of their everyday lives so it's not like they'd ever even consider giving it up, either, so they will put up with it just so long as they can stay connected. It's a sad state of affairs, total censorship and an indifferent populace so pacified they will never object, not by a government, but by a company that offers a communications service.

The discovery comes following a year-long study of skeletons found in a mass grave within the New Churchyard, the burial ground excavated by Museum of London Archaeology (MOLA) during construction of the new Elizabeth line station at Liverpool Street in 2015.
The mass grave has been dated between 1650 and 1670 using fragments of pottery, glass and coffin handles found within the pit. Local burial records confirm there was a dramatic rise in burial rates in the New Churchyard when the epidemic peaked in the summer of 1665. Historic accounts, such as Daniel Defoe’s ‘A Journal of the Plague Year’ and the Court of Aldermen records, paint a vivid picture of the graveyard’s struggle to cope with a crisis of capacity at that time.
Samples from 20 individuals were tested for traces of the plague pathogen Yersinia pestis, and five were found to have been exposed to it before they died. Due to the disease’s virulence it is likely that this exposure was the cause of death. This is the first identification of plague DNA from 17th Century Britain. The bacteria itself perished days after the individuals died 351 years ago and is no longer active.

The Great Plague of 1665 was the last major bubonic plague epidemic in Britain and killed an estimated 100,000 people in London, almost a quarter of the population. Despite its scale, the pathogen responsible has eluded detection as the fast-acting disease left no traces on skeletons and the DNA has a low-survival rate when buried in the ground for hundreds of years.

Modern scientific techniques have allowed scientists at the Max Planck Institute in Jena, Germany, to isolate this DNA from teeth extracted from the skeletons. The enamel on the teeth acted as protective capsules, preserving the DNA of bacteria that was in the person’s bloodstream at the time of death.
Molecular palaeopathologists are now attempting to sequence the pathogen’s full DNA genome. In doing so they hope to be able to compare the 1665 Great Plague to the 1348 Black Death epidemic as well as recent modern outbreaks. This will allow scientists to further understand the evolution and spread of the disease.

Jay Carver, Crossrail Lead Archaeologist, said: “The Crossrail project has given archaeologists a rare opportunity to study previously inaccessible areas of London. The discovery of the ancient DNA, which has eluded scientists for so long, is yet another piece of the jigsaw that we are piecing together to learn more about the lives and deaths of 16th to 18th Century Londoners.”
Don Walker, Senior Osteologist at MOLA, said: “This is a hugely significant discovery as it is the first identification of ancient DNA from the 1665 Great Plague in Britain. This discovery has the potential to greatly enhance scientist’s understanding of the disease and coupled with detailed research of the skeletons reveal more about this devastating epidemic and the lives of its victims.”
Vanessa Harding, Professor of London History, Birkbeck, University of London, said: “This is a very exciting finding, for the history of London, the history of disease, and the history of burial. It confirms thatYersinia pestis was present in early modern London plague epidemics, and links them epidemiologically with the 14th-Century Black Death and the 1720 Marseille plague.

We still need, however, to understand why the disease manifested itself in so many different ways, and whether other pathogens made a significant contribution to these epidemics.
“The excavation also underlines the strength of custom and order in time of crisis, showing that plague burial, even in mass graves, could be controlled and orderly, with bodies in coffins laid neatly on each other – not quite the shambolic ‘plague pit’ of popular discourse.”
In total 42 individuals were excavated from the mass grave but archaeologists estimate that it may have contained as many as 100 people. The predominantly coffined burials were tightly packed in orderly rows that, over the centuries, collapsed in on each other as the coffins decayed. Although contemporary Plague Orders dictated that burials sit a minimum of 6ft from the surface, the top of the mass burial was only about 2ft from the surface. This was perhaps a matter of practicality for the gravediggers but ‘noisome stenches’ were reported, eventually leading to burial restrictions being placed on the New Churchyard.
Further scientific analysis of the skeletons will continue over the coming months. Isotopic analysis may reveal where these people grew up and if they moved in their lifetimes, and examination of the material trapped within the plaque on the teeth may show what they ate, and what diseases and pollutants they were exposed to.
In 2014, skeletons excavated during the construction of the Elizabeth line station at Farringdon were found to contain traces of the DNA of the Yersinia pestis bacteria from the first major plague epidemic in Europe, the 1348 Black Death.
Crossrail’s extensive archaeology programme is the largest in the UK. To date it has found more than 10,000 artefacts and fossils spanning 55 million years of London’s past at over 40 construction sites. Full findings from the archaeological excavation at Liverpool Street will be published in early 2017.

cool how do we weaponize it?
