New Jersey police are on the hunt for a man accused of performing a lewd act in the vicinity of children during a showing of “The Emoji Movie.”

Police in Howell told News12 that a mother was watching the film with her children at the Xscape Movie Theater Friday when she noticed a man – sitting alone in the back row – had his hands down his unzipped pants.

The theater’s manager asked the man to leave after the mother told staff what she saw.

Howell police released a photo of the man, described as a heavyset individual who had facial hair and was wearing a white dress shirt and black pants.

In Estonia, he declared: “To our allies here in Eastern Europe, we are with you, we stand with you on behalf of freedoms.” He added, presumably to raised Baltic eyebrows, that, “the president has made it very clear that Russia’s destabilizing activities, its support for rogue regimes, its activities in Ukraine, are unacceptable.”

In Tbilisi, Pence stood next to Georgia’s president and said, “the United States of America strongly condemns Russia’s occupation on Georgia’s soil.” He even reiterated America’s support for Georgia becoming a NATO member, something that has long raised Russian hackles.

In Montenegro, he told a conference of Western Balkan leaders, “Russia has worked to destabilize the region, undermine your democracies, and divide you from each other and from the rest of Europe.” He insisted, “The Western Balkans have the right to decide your own future.”

The trip seemed to align with a “major effort” by the Republicans to hamstring Trump over Russia, says Spencer Boyer, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institute and former senior state department and intelligence official. The aim, he says, is two-fold: to reassure allies that they are supported and to protect the Republican party’s own image. “They need to maintain the GOP’s brand as strong on security and they feel that Trump is undermining that—that the investigation into him and his potential ties with Russia during the campaign really hurts their storyline,” Boyer says.

Tom Hannah got more than he bargained for after deciding to join an anti-Muslim group on Facebook.
FacebookRedditTwitter
Tom’s idea was to joined the group not to spread hate but to actually troll them.

Going by the moniker of ‘lil troublemaker’ on Twitter, Tom told Buzzfeed that he often joins random Facebook groups just to cause a little mischief.

However, this little escapade quickly spiralled out of control when he was made an admin of the group ‘NO SHARIA LAW WORLDWIDE’, which has nearly 10,000 members.

London council planners have told developers that a new block of flats must include a gay bar - and they will send inspectors to check it's gay enough.
Tower Hamlets bosses will only let the site of closed gay bar the Joiners Arms be built on if the developers promise to include a pub that will 'remain a lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender-focused venue for a minimum of 12 years'.
London's culture at risk officer Ed Bayes will make sure the person running the bar is 'sufficiently LGBT'.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4763298/London-planners-insist-new-flats-gay-bar.html

A spokesman said: 'The development on Hackney Road will re-provide a public house at ground-floor level with the same floor space as the previous Joiners Arms pub.
'We are committed to keeping this space within our development in Tower Hamlets as a LGBT+ venue and have offered a right of first refusal on the lease to LGBT+ interested parties, including the Friends of the Joiners Arms and the New Joiners Arms.
'If the lease is taken up by an interested party then the venue will be secured for at least 12 years for LGBT+ use. We have also agreed a rent-free period for the first year.

Right now virtual reality (VR) seems to be a zero billion dollar business, at least in terms of revenue generation. A huge amount of seemingly smart money is investing in VR, with applications across entertainment, medicine, travel and other industries. As to the entertainment and media space, each of the major studios is secretly or otherwise investigating VR. And so are the big theatre chains, mobile phone companies, writers and directors.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/energy-environment/wp/2017/07/31/we-only-have-a-5-percent-chance-of-avoiding-dangerous-global-warming-a-study-finds/?utm_term=.431c9ed82888

The first new study calculates the statistical likelihood of various amounts of warming by the year 2100 based on three trends that matter most for how much carbon we put in the air. Those are the global population, countries’ GDP (on a per capita basis), and carbon intensity, or the volume of emissions for a given level of economic activity.

The research finds that the median warming is likely to be 3.2 degrees Celsius, and further concludes that there’s only a 5 percent chance that the world can hold limiting below 2 degrees Celsius and a mere 1 percent chance that it can be limited below 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit).

The research is significant because 2 degrees Celsius has often been regarded as the threshold for so-called “dangerous” climate change. Figueres herself put it this way in an interview with CBS News: “Science has established for quite a while that we need to respect a threshold of 2 degrees, that being the limit of the temperature increase that we can afford from a human, economic and infrastructure point of view.”

>Scott Pruitt has repeated a particular line again and again since becoming the head of the Environmental Protection Agency.

>“The future ain’t what it used to be at the EPA,” he’s fond of saying.

>As it turns out, the past may not be what it once was, either.

>In an obscure corner of the Ronald Reagan International Trade Building, a debate is underway about how to tell the story of the EPA’s history and mission.

>A miniature museum that began as a pet project of former EPA administrator Gina McCarthy has come under scrutiny. It features the agency’s work over 4½ decades, with exhibit topics such as regulating carbon dioxide emissions and the Paris climate accord. The Obama administration championed such efforts, but President Trump’s policies are at odds with them.

>Now the museum, which opened just days before President Barack Obama left office, is being reworked to reflect the priorities of the Trump administration, an effort that probably will mean erasing part of the agency’s history.

>Unlike other stark changes that have taken place at the EPA since Trump took office, the museum overhaul has not been primarily driven by political appointees. Rather, some of the same career staff members who worked on the exhibits under the Obama administration informed Trump appointees about the museum and the fact that parts of it were not in line with their vision.

The trial of "pharma bro" Martin Shkreli gets weirder and weirder.

Tim Pierotti, who once ran a consumer hedge fund for Shkreli, testified Tuesday that the man who gained notoriety by raising the price of a life-saving drug more than 5,000% sent a threatening letter to his home, addressed to his wife, reading, “I hope to see you and your four children homeless. I will do whatever I can to assure this."

The letter was entered into evidence at Shkreli’s trial in Federal District Court in Brooklyn.

In the letter, Shkreli accused Pierotti of stealing $1.6 million from him and added, "making an enemy out of me is a mistake." The theft accusation allegedly revolved around the sale of shares of Retrophin, a biopharmaceutical company Shkreli ran.

The two men met in 2011, when Pierotti joined MSMB, Shkreli's hedge fund. Pierotti testified that he put all of the money from that fund into one stock—Rick's Cabaret, a chain of strip clubs, with Shkreli's approval.

It's the latest in a long series of odd moves for Shkreli, who also paid $2 million for the sole copy of a Wu-Tang Clan album (something he might have to forfeit should the trial not go his way).If nothing else, it sounds like the Off-Broadway musical based on his life might have to be expanded.

WASHINGTON -- An empty lot in Jersey City, New Jersey is where the Kushner Companies plan to put two gleaming towers of rental apartments and retail space, a project called One Journal Square.

>But prosecutors from the U.S. Attorney's office in Brooklyn now want to know more about the project's financing.

>According to the Wall Street Journal, the U.S. Attorney's office has subpoenaed the company for information on its use of a program that allows foreigners, residency to get green cards in exchange for investing $500,000 or more in projects that create at least 10 jobs. They're called EB-5 visas.

>The Kushner Companies used EB-5 funding for two projects in the same city, the second carrying the president's name: Trump Bay Street.

>Emily Wolf, general counsel for Kushner Companies, told CBS News the program "is frequently used by many large developers to raise funds and help create jobs" and they "did nothing improper."

>But in May, the company apologized after Jared Kushner's sister, Nicole Meyer, told potential Chinese investors that the Journal Square project was important to her entire family, and specifically mentioned her brother Jared, now a top aide to the president, raising questions of influence peddling.

>And there are questions about a Florida company the Kushners used to recruit Chinese investors called the U.S. Immigration Fund.

>Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley is calling for a federal review of that company's arrangement with the Kushner Companies.

>Jersey City Mayor Steven Fulop has his own concerns about the use of the visa program for the Trump Bay Street project.

>"I think the goal of the EB-5 program is low-income investment in low-income areas. And I think that that obviously didn't serve that goal," Fulop said.

>The bill - a revised version of an immigration-reform act introduced in February - would change the system for granting legal residency, or green cards, by giving priority to high-skilled immigrants who are English-speaking.
