Society's Child
The family - two adults and two juveniles - died instantly when they struck the tight wire near the plantation in the Kodagu district of south Indian state of Karnataka.
It comes after two other elephants died in similar circumstances earlier this month.
"Since the start of the year, Israel has toughened Gaza exit regulations for medical purposes. Since April, it has been practically impossible to leave the enclave. It has already led to the deaths of 11 people," Ashraf al-Qudra told Sputnik Arabic.
The spokesman for the Health Ministry in the Gaza Strip equated it to a declaration of war against sick Palestinians. He urged the lifting of the ban, which clearly violates international laws and could be regarded as a crime against humanity.
In the first video, CNN Health Supervising Producer John Bonified said, referring to the Russia stories and grounds for the accusations thrown at Moscow on daily basis, "Like, we don't have any big giant proof. I just feel like they don't really have it, but they just want to keep digging." The producer added that the channel's ratings "are incredible right now."
Project Veritas Communications Director Stephen Gordon told RT that the second video was released to force CNN to face the consequences and admit something is wrong.
Gordon emphasized that in the first video, Bonified says that the CEO of CNN wants to switch from environmental issues back to Russia, because it's "about money, ratings, that's all we cover."
The hacking group levied an attack against a Twitter user it calls "doctor," whom it accuses of tweeting unjustified criticism. Information about the identity of the "doctor" is scarce, but Shadow Brokers claims the 'doctor' is a former member of the NSA's alleged cyber attack team, Equation Group.
Shadow Brokers also claims the former developer "built many tools and hacked organization[s] in China." The unknown person is allegedly a co-founder of a security group with a lot of venture capital funding, the Shadow Brokers said in a statement.
If this person doesn't subscribe to the July dump, "theshadowbrokers might be taking tweets personally and dumping data of "doctor" persons hacks of China with real id and security company name."
Monalisa Perez was charged with the killing of Pedro Ruiz III on Wednesday, two days after she shot her boyfriend in the chest at close range outside their home in northwest Minnesota.
Perez, who is heavily pregnant with the couple's second child, was released from jail on Wednesday afternoon after posting $7,000 bail, the Star Tribune reports.
American childhood has taken an authoritarian turn. An array of trends in American society are conspiring to produce unprecedented levels of supervision and control over children's lives. Tracing the effects of childrearing on broad social outcomes is an exercise in speculation. But if social scientists are correct to posit a connection between childrearing and long-term political outcomes, today's restrictive childhood norms may portend a broader regression in our country's democratic consensus.
Since the early 1980s, American childhood has been marked by a turn toward stringent adult control. Support for "free range" childhood has given way to a "flight to safety" characterized by unprecedented dictates over children's routines.
More so than any other generation, parents and educators have instilled in millennials the idea that, as Greg Lukianoff and Jonathan Haidt put it, "life is dangerous, but adults will do everything in their power to protect you from harm." Indeed, strong social pressures have so hardened against parents who believe in the value of a free, unsupervised childhood that psychologist Peter Gray likens them to past Chinese norms on foot binding.
Gerard Tardy is the mayor of Lorette, a small town south of Lyon with less than 5,000 inhabitants which on Friday opened the Les Blondières leisure park. Covering an area of nearly 4,000 square meters, it contains large gardens, fishing ponds, two artificial swimming areas, and a beach.
But if visitors want to enjoy Les Blondières, they might need to observe some controversial new rules. Article 4 of the Town Hall's decree governing the site says that swimmers must "have decent attire and a correct attitude."
Andrew Taylor is the son of Tim Taylor, the police chief in his hometown of Berne, Indiana. Wane.com reported that Andrew Taylor asked the young girl who had been placed with his family "to perform oral sex on him and she agreed" in October. He then told his father about what he did and turned himself in, according to court documents.
Jay County Prosecutor Wesley Schemenaur told Wane.com that he does not think Taylor was let off on such an incredibly light sentence because he is the son of the local police chief.
Charlie Gard is a 10-month-old baby who suffers from a rare genetic disorder called mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome. It's a horrendous condition that leads to organ malfunction, brain damage, and other symptoms. The hospital that had been treating the boy, Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children in London, made the determination that nothing more can be done for him and he must be taken off of life support. He should "die with dignity," they said. The parents, Chris Gard and Connie Yates, disagreed.
This is the very crucial thing to understand: they are not insisting that GOSH be forced to keep Charlie on life support. Rather, they want to take him out of the hospital and to America to undergo a form of experimental therapy that a doctor here had already agreed to administer. Chris and Connie raised over $1.6 million to fund this last ditch effort to save their child's life. All they needed the British hospital to do was release their child into their care, which doesn't seem like a terribly burdensome request. They would then leave the country and try their luck with treatment here. However slim the chance of success may have been, it was better than just sitting by and watching their baby die.

Trucks move across the bridge linking North Korea with the Chinese border city of Dandong.
Reuters says it's unclear how long the suspension will last. China is North Korea's top supplier of diesel and gasoline. Relations between neighbors have deteriorated in the past few months.
When asked by the media about the suspension, Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Lu Kang replied: "I do not understand this situation you are talking about" and declined to elaborate.
