Society's Child
His family says he didn't know any better. "I was sick to my stomach because first of all don't you understand he's a 5-year-old," Summery Putnam, the boy's mother, said. "He's a child."
Putnam says she received a call from her son's teacher about 3 weeks ago. "The teacher called me and she said you need to have a talk with Nathan about boundaries," Putnam said.
Putnam says his autism makes it difficult for him understand social cues. "If you don't understand how autism works, you'll think he's acting out or being defiant," Putnam said. "But that's not the situation."
Michael Mansfield QC warned that the farming of livestock for meat was destroying the planet and called for legislation to criminalise those who cause global warming and the wilful destruction of wildlife. In a message delivered at the launch of the Vegan Now campaign, which encourages people to stop eating meat and dairy, Mansfield said he had a 'single message' to make ecocide a crime.
"I think when we look at the damage eating meat is doing to the planet it is not preposterous to think that one day it will become illegal," he said.
Fans of the south coast rivals clashed in the streets around Portsmouth's Fratton Park stadium on Tuesday night, with footage showing one incident in which a home supporter seemed to lash out at a police horse.
Video shared on social media shows the footie thug - clad in blue - being pursued by an officer on horseback.
The fan then stops to square up to the horse and seems to land a right jab on its face.
"Man's swinging for a horse," the person filming says.
The suicides occurred while the vessel has been in dry dock in Norfolk, Va., for general repairs.
"It is with a heavy heart that I can confirm the loss of three Sailors last week in separate, unrelated incidents from an apparent suicide. My heart is broken," CAPT Sean Bailey Commanding Officer USS George H. W. Bush wrote in the post.Bailey said the deaths "mark the third, fourth, and fifth crew member suicides in the last two years." He made a plea to the crew and families to come together and not just support each other in a time of crisis, but offer any suggestions on how the service can prevent the next death.
Church leaders, with support from police, victims, and psychiatrists, penned an open letter to the government, arguing that domestic knives should be redesigned with rounded tips to reduce the number of life-threatening stabbing injuries. They reportedly argue that pointed blades aren't even needed in this day and age, given that we have forks to eat with.
The absurdity of banning a common kitchen implement was pointed out by bemused netizens, particularly as the proposal comes after police recently announced that they will no longer post images of seized knives "to help reduce the fear of knives," and as the Home Office uses takeaway packaging to basically tell people that stabbing is bad.
The money comes from a $50m financial assistance fund, which Boeing announced in July.
The fund has started accepting claims, which must be submitted before 2020.
Lawyers for the victims' families, many of whom are pursuing the company in court, have dismissed the fund as a publicity stunt.
Comment: Considering the corruption and collusion that has been exposed at Boeing, and all in league with the US government, this compensation doesn't really reflect just how culpable they both are for the tragedies that occurred:
- Boeing introduces 737 Max software overhaul as lawmakers question FAA policies
- Paris air show: Airbus' autonomous planes, Boeing ghosted, while France, Germany & Spain agree to Euro jet fighter
- Some Boeing 737 MAX parts "improperly manufactured" that need to be replaced - FAA
In an interview with CNN correspondent Christiane Amanpour that will air Wednesday, Khosrowshahi defended Uber's business model, which involves the company investing heavily in promotions to entice customers to its on-demand ride and meal-delivery offerings.
"The model is absolutely sustainable," Khosrowshahi said. "The business, for example, is still growing 30-plus percent on a global basis. And anytime you have a business that has the kind of market size of trillions of dollars in terms of transportation and food and global commerce, it makes sense for a company to invest."
Uber lost $5.2 billion in the three months ending in June, its largest quarterly loss ever . Stock-based compensation related to its initial public offering accounted for $3.9 billion, but the remaining $1.3 billion in losses were still 50% higher than the year before.
The ex-super middleweight champion bruiser says the entire planet has been sold a lie.
And he refuses to believe proof from the US space agency NASA or space entrepreneur Elon Musk because they are in the "little clique" hiding the truth.
Comment: Though boxing legend Carl Froch has likely sustained many injurious blows to the head, there are many others who have no such excuse for such a ridiculous idea:

In a speech at the UN Climate Action Summit on Monday, the 16-year-old Thunberg delivered a breathless sermon, chastising the adults in the room for stealing her "dreams" and her "childhood" by failing to take aggressive enough action against climate change.
"We are in the beginning of a mass extinction, and all you can talk about is money and fairy tales of eternal economic growth. How dare you!" she thundered, voice on the edge of tears.

"Women's Walkout" at Google in protest over alleged sexual misconduct at the company in Mountain View, California, U.S. November 1, 2018.
Apparently a product of the company's campaign to uncover cases of retaliation, the document is a cache of personal accounts submitted by Google employees to an internal company forum.
The document was first revealed by Recode earlier this month, but Motherboard published it in full.

Comment: There's nothing wrong with holding industry and corporations responsible for harms they inflict on the environment. But these people are using environmentalism as a means of inflicting their ideology on the world, promoting falsified and exaggerated data. If they took their focus off of carbon and put it on to things that are actually detrimental to the environment (heavy metals, industrial pollution, GMOs, pesticides and herbicides, for example) they might actually be doing to world some good. But then they wouldn't be forcing everyone to become vegan now, would they.
