A 3-year-old boy took a loaded semi-automatic pistol to his elementary school in Washington, DC, where it was fortunately found by a security guard. It later appeared the gun belonged to the boy's father, who had no license.

The father, 31-year-old Anthony Earl Chiles, was arrested Tuesday after bringing his son to Moten Elementary School on Morris Road SE in Southeast DC.

Despite the arrest, this story is still surrounded by mystery.

Chiles was bringing his 3-year-old son to school at around 9:30 a.m. Tuesday when they were stopped by a security guard. WTTG has cited a charging document, which said that surveillance cameras recorded Chiles and his son.

A Brownsburg priest says the number of people requesting exorcisms is at an all-time high.

Father Vincent Lampert is an exorcist priest based out of St. Malachy Parish. He was appointed to his role by bishops of the Catholic church. "I don't have any special powers or ability from a faith perspective. The power resides with the person of Christ," said Father Lampert.

The priest says more people are asking for help and he attributes that to the growing number of people turning away from the faith.

"Faith in God will lead us in one direction and lack of faith will lead us in another, so there does seem to be a correlation with people who believe they are experiencing evil in their life at the same time where faith in God is less relevant," said Lampert.

Everyone is born creative, but it is educated out of us at school

Businesses urgently need innovative people, so we must dispel the myth that creativity is something mysterious that cannot be encouraged

Whenever I hear the phrase "creative industries" I'm always surprised. I ask myself, are there any uncreative industries? If so, how do they survive? Why aren't they in a museum, next to the dodo? The world is changing at such a blistering pace that businesses without creativity at their core are doomed.

Innovate or die is not just a slogan, it's a vital truth. Creativity is the most powerful competitive advantage a business can have. Companies need to fizz with new ideas and fresh thinking. But there's a problem - there just aren't enough fizzy people around.

Scotland Yard: Sex crimes involving date apps Tinder, Grindr climb in record year offences

The Met issued the figure as it warned the 2016 total is likely to top 100 — up from 74 last year. In all, 187 London crimes were linked to the dating apps in the first half of the year. That means the total number of offences this year looks set to top 350, close to the 2015 total of 317. They included almost 100 incidents of violence, plus robberies and thefts.

Tinder launched in 2012 — three years after gay version Grindr. The Met saw just 18 crimes linked to the apps that year, four of them sex offences.

By 2015, however, this has rocketed to 317 offences, with 180 allegations of violence, 74 sex attacks, 26 thefts, seven robberies, seven allegations of criminal damage, six burglaries and 17 'other offences'.

The total number of crimes this year represents a 2,000 per cent rise since 2012.

Comment: Another report, combining statistics from England and Wales, states crimes connected to the two apps ballooned sevenfold from 55 in 2013 to 412 in 2015, obtained under Freedom of Information Act. These allegations of violence included grooming, rape, sexual exploitation of children and sextortion. Tinder alone is advertised as responsible for ten billion connections and climbing.

Globalized corporate mainstream news and media is failing

global media
I begin this piece with three quotes from my work-in-progress, The Underground:
"There is a media metaphysics. Its basic principle states that nothing exists until it becomes information. Now we have a new twist: information only becomes real when it reaches a mind already attuned to it. In other words, the tree falling in the forest makes a sound only if a user/consumer who wants a tree to fall receives video and audio of the event..."

"Information can be dressed up a thousand different ways. But it tends to have an 'elastic' quality. By that I mean you eventually get to see the person who dressed it up. That's a problem for chronic liars who inhabit the press. They expose themselves, even though they don't want to. It takes a surprisingly small push to expose the whole operation. This is happening now, right in front of our eyes."

"The basis of big media is theater. News is theater. Its directors and producers think they're doing a first-rate job. But they're sadly mistaken. Gaps and obfuscations are growing larger. The outright non-sequiturs and gibberish are becoming more apparent. The audience is wising up to the farce. Who are these fools who direct the news? They're simply people who want to sell their souls and have found an elite buyer. But that transaction doesn't contain any guarantees about shelf life. Mainstream news is decaying, and the expiration date is approaching. Like civilizations, the petty princes of information rise and fall..."

Comment: The sooner people realize that they are being inundated, overwhelmed and bombarded by "news" instead of objective information, the better the chances are that humanity will wake up from its subjugation to wholesale deceit, slavery and, ultimately, mass murder.

There's nothing new about pupils complaining about their homework, but in Spain they've now been joined by parents who are ready to go on strike for their kids to be left alone on weekends.

The Spanish Confederation of Associations of Mothers and Fathers of Students (CEAPA) has called on parents whose children attend state schools to boycott weekend homework for the whole month of November.

There's "absolute certainty that homework is detrimental" to children as it hampers their extra-curricular development, Jose Luis Pazos, CEAPA president, told AFP.

"We've lost a bit of common sense in this country when it comes to talking about education and we've got a system in which boys' and girls' free time has disappeared," he said.

Spanish 15-year-olds have 6.5 hours of homework a week, a 2012 report by Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development said, putting the country in fifth place after Russia, Italy, Ireland and Poland.

Multiple NY police departments under investigation for "breeding" parties with underage boys

A police officer's suspension over an investigation into writing fraudulent checks has prompted a multi-agency investigation into alleged gay sex parties for police officers. While sex parties alone are not criminal, a source close to the investigation said the parties were attended by young boys who were not of legal age to drink or consent to having sex with adults.

Sgt. Jonathan E. Moore, 35, of the Schenectady police department, has been suspended after he and his boyfriend, Anthony Aubin, 27, were caught at trying to use a fraudulent check to purchase a $92,000 Jaguar. Aubin was arrested on felony charges for attempting to use the check.

However, according to a report in the Times Union, the arrest of Aubin, who has a lengthy criminal record and was recently on parole, has triggered a much broader, multi-agency police investigation into allegations that gay officers may have hosted or taken part in sex parties — called "breeding parties" — that allegedly were attended by teenagers who were not of legal age to drink alcohol or consent to having sex with adults.

Aside from the Schenectady police department investigation, the probe has spread to the Albany police department as well. As the Times reports, other departments may also become involved in the broader investigation, according to a person briefed on the matter but not authorized to comment publicly.

A number of eagles were shot down by hunters in the outskirts of Rabat on Wednesday, while others were shot at and injured in multiple incidents, according to BirdLife Malta.

In a statement, the organisation said that around 60 short-toed eagles and booted eagles sought refuge in Girgenti, Fawwara, Ġebel Ciantar, Saqqajja and Xagħra tal-Isqof areas after crossing over from Sicily, marking this a record migration at this time of year.

"The first incidents were witnessed around 15:30 with two eagles being shot at, in Dingli, and another eagle receiving up to eight shots over the Xagħra tal-Isqof area," BirdLife Malta said.

"Later on, at least another two eagles were gunned down in the same area, with all incidents reported for police to act."

Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) Agent Charles Calvin McMullen was arrested this week after two 8-year-old boys came forward with allegations that the cop repeatedly sodomized and sexually abused them.

According to police, the boys disclosed their information separately and did not know the other was coming forward.

McMullen, who has been with the FDLE for five years, worked on cases with the Gulf Coast Kids House and the Santa Rosa Kids House, centers that advocate for abused children.

McMullen's position in law enforcement allowed him easy and trusted access to the children and he was able to repeatedly rape the young boys from the time they were only 7-years-old.

The first boy came forward on October 28 to deputies with the Santa Rosa County Sheriff's Office (SRCSO). After the 8-year-old reported McMullen had been touching him "downstairs on his private part" on a frequent basis, an investigation was launched which led to the other boy coming forward.
