It's never as good without the beans...

It's A Cultural Thing, Over There

A dog and her puppies are being credited with helping to save a newborn who was abandoned in a field in India, possibly because she was a girl.

The Epoch Times reports local residents in Chattisgarh, India reported finding the infant while going out into the field to work in late December.

According to Chattisgarh Police, the newborn girl was naked and her umbilical cord was still attached. Local residents said the baby was surrounded by a dog and her litter of puppies, and they believe the animals kept the baby warm by snuggling up against her through the night, the Times reports.

In India, they only want male offspring - likely, that'll be a real drag come dating/marrying time....

 

I'm Going To Tell Mummy!

The 200-year-old secrets of the child mummies of the Capuchin Catacombs of Palermo in northern Sicily are to be revealed by a British-led team of scientists using X-ray technology. The Catacombs contain 1,284 mummified and skeletonised bodies, the largest collection of mummies in Europe. While many of the children contained there are now skeletal, others have been described as appearing as if they are sleeping.

The catacombs, once solely for the deceased friars of the Capuchin order, have become a popular, if macabre, tourist attraction, with every niche and crevice bearing bodies on open display. The preserved dead were often dressed in their finery and would be visited by their relatives.

Radiographic images – 14 per mummy, from head-to-toe – will be taken and examined by Dr Robert Loynes, a retired orthopaedic surgeon who has previously investigated ancient Egyptian mummies. Piombino-Mascali said it was vital that the work on the fragile corpses was “non invasive”.

45 were naturally mummified friars initially interred in a crypt in Palermo. Later bodies were treated prior to placement.

 

 

So Much For Ireland

Under the new measures, a standard bottle of wine cannot be sold for less than €7.40 (£6.40) and a can of beer for less than €1.70 (£1.40).

In other words, prices are set to increase dramatically.

I guess we can say goodbye to the legendary Irish drinkers. At around $2 for a standard can of beer, they won't be able to afford much.

 

 

 

What Is It With Hindus In India And Stampedes, Anyway?

SRINAGAR, India — A stampede at a popular Hindu shrine in Indian-controlled Kashmir killed at least 12 people and injured 13 others on New Year’s Day, officials said.

It must be some sort of cultural thing, but it seems inexplicable.

 

Some May Sleep Easier

A serial killer dubbed the UK’s Hannibal the Cannibal will die in an underground glass box after having his Christmas appeal for freedom refused.

Robert Maudsley, aka Britain’s most dangerous prisoner, was told this week he will be incarcerated in his own glass cell until he dies, and cannot make any further appeals against the decision.

The 68-year-old, who murdered child molesters, appealed to be allowed to spend the rest of his prison days with the “general population” but chiefs ruled him too dangerous to mix with prisoners and guards at HMP Wakefield in West Yorkshire.

He will now spend the rest of his life, 23 hours a day, locked alone inside a glass box beneath the jail, with a concrete slab to sleep on, a table and chair made of compressed cardboard, and a toilet and sink bolted to the floor.

Maudsley’s underground cell is a specially constructed 5.5 metres by 4.5 metre space with bullet proof glass cage that was built in 1983, nearly ten years after his prison sentence began. The cell was built for his ongoing murders behind bars. He will never be released.

They could've saved a lot of tax pounds had they retained the death penalty.

 

Enraged Monkeys Is The Name Of My Band....

Enraged monkeys have killed 250 dogs in an Indian district by dragging them to the top of buildings and trees and dropping them.

Panic-stricken residents have also come under attack and say the acts of animal violence have been carried out 'in revenge' after a pack of dogs killed one of the monkeys' infants. The horrific incidents have been reported in the villages of Majalgaon, where 250 dogs are said to have been killed by rampaging primates, and nearby Lavul in Maharashtra’s Beed district.

According to India's News18 website, 'not a single pup' is left in Lavul where even school children are being chased and attacked.

Hmm...they must not have any rottweilers over there.

 

Well, They DID Ask For It....

And the Bay Area Cities of Oakland and San Francisco are getting it good and hard. Now the cities' "leaders" hope to reverse the course they've set. Rots a ruck with that, kids! But we're getting a lot of it, as well:

https://www.courthousenews.com/bay-area-mayors-push-to-reverse-police-cuts-and-expand-surveillance-tools/

The mayors of Oakland and San Francisco once championed diverting police funding to social services. Now they both want to hire more officers and give police more tools to investigate crimes.

San Francisco Mayor London Breed talks to reporters inside the community room of the city's newest Navigation Center, built to house homeless people near the Embarcadero.

SAN FRANCISCO (CN) — More than a year after moving to cut and redistribute police funding in the wake of racial justice protests, two city leaders in Northern California are now pushing to hire more officers, crack down on crime and expand police surveillance powers.

The mayors of San Francisco and its across-the-bay neighbor Oakland recently unveiled proposals to increase police presence in their cities and broaden law enforcement’s ability to use surveillance tools, such as license plate readers and access to private security camera networks. The proposals come as both cities struggle with an increase in homicides and violent crime and a recent spate of brazen robberies targeting high-end retailers and cannabis dispensaries. 

Across the bay in Oakland, Mayor Libby Schaaf recently asked for city legislators to approve money to hire more officers. The request came after department staffing fell below 678, the threshold the city must meet to keep collecting a special tax approved by voters in a 2014.

On Tuesday, Schaaf penned a letter to Governor Gavin Newsom calling for the state to continue sending California Highway Patrol officers to enforce traffic laws in Oakland and to install license-plate readers around highway ramps and major city arteries. The request comes amid a recent spike in homicides, car jackings and robberies in Oakland this year.

Meanwhile, here in Orygun, it's beginning to dawn on some folks that while feeling all good and touchy-feely may be one thing, the results are definitely another:

Major cartels, including ones from China, Mexico, Russia, Argentina, Bulgaria and other countries, are now growing marijuana year-round and committing other egregious crimes, such as human trafficking and slavery, to support their illegal activities because Oregon has made it hard for police and farm inspectors to do their jobs.

Illegal marijuana operations run by domestic and international cartels are expanding throughout Oregon thanks to the state’s liberal laws and inadequate regulations, which impact the legal and illegal drug industries as well as law enforcement’s ability to address drug crimes.

For example, police in Oregon are prohibited by law from asking about nationality or immigration status, according to a report by The Epoch Times. In addition, legal hemp farmers are not obligated under Oregon law to allow inspectors onto their property to search for illegal marijuana cultivation operations on their farms.

Josephine County Sheriff Dave Daniel confirmed that drug traffickers are now coming to Oregon. He told The Epoch Times:

“Drug traffickers have flocked here from every state in the nation and nearly a dozen countries.”

Oregon’s Jackson County has declared a state of emergency as cartels have stolen water, intimidated residents and enslaved more than 10,000 illegal immigrants.

Oregon math: sanctuary state for illegal aliens + legalized pot=Mexican drug cartels + human slavery.

Albany Police Captain Brad Liles told The Epoch Times in a separate report that Chinese operators had major and sophisticated indoor growing operations: Portland , Oregon 800 murders. Drug cartels setting up in “ open borders” move. More undocumented migrants coming in daily. https://t.co/mrOjDWfMOc

In the small town of Philomath, one illegal operation took place in a two-story warehouse structure with 11 rooms and 5,000 square feet. According to Philomath Chief of Police Ken Rueben, the warehouse contained 4,000 plants in varying stages, from starters to fully-grown plants ready to harvest.

The sophisticated facility even used generators, air filtration devices and electronically controlled temperature and humidity based on the age of the plants.

Five suspects allegedly connected with a Chinese organized crime group headquartered in New York were arrested during the raid, according to Chief Rueben.

Just a few blocks further up the hill from my place, there used to be a small grocery and deli. It's now a pot shop. Same story down the hill; that place used to be a small massage studio/health food shop. It all happened in the space of just a couple of years.

Transformation, dude!

 

 

 

They Call It A "Service"

Switzerland has just legalized a new way to die by assisted suicide. The country’s medical review board has authorized the use of the Sarco Suicide Pod, which is a 3-D-printed portable coffin-like capsule with windows that can be transported to a tranquil place for a person’s final moments of life.

https://news.yahoo.com/switzerland-approves-assisted-suicide-capsule-140255771.html

In 2020, around 1,300 people died by assisted suicide in Switzerland, almost all by ingesting liquid sodium pentobarbital, which puts a patient into a deep coma before killing them. Assisted suicide is also legal in the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, Luxembourg, and Canada.

The Sarco Suicide Pod is expected to be operational in 2022. The company has made three prototypes, but one was not “aesthetically pleasing” so it will not be used, it says. The company has not yet announced how much it will cost to use the service.

The pod can be activated from inside and can give the person intending to die various options for where they want to be for their final moments. “The machine can be towed anywhere for the death,” he said.

Looks cozy. And kind of futuristic.

I wonder how many animals they killed during the prototype phases.

It's undoubtedly "humane" and all, but we don't need such toys around here - just hang out downtown for a while; someone will likely drop by....

 

Hedgehogs!
