Chinese tourists planning to visit the US have been warned by the Chinese embassy in America of "frequent shootings" and the high cost of medical care.

"Social security in the states is not satisfactory. Shootings, robbery, theft happen frequently," the statement by China's embassy in the US wrote, the South China Morning Post (SCMP) reported.

"Be aware of suspicious people around you and avoid going out alone at night," the statement added, also observing that Chinese tourists can call local '911' emergency lines and ask for Chinese-language services if necessary.

According to the US Department of Commerce, over 3 million Chinese people visited the US in 2017. By 2022, the total number of Chinese tourists is expected to increase to 4.5 million annually.

The embassy notice additionally warned tourists to steer clear of confrontations with law enforcement officials at border control points.

Comment: America has a tourism problem - more international travelers are deciding to skip the US in favor of other destinations while Russia is now one of the top ten countries visited by foreigners.

World-class act: Japanese team cleans out lockers & bows to fans after devastating World Cup defeat

Japan's football team proved to be one of the classiest at the World Cup after the players bowed to the fans and meticulously cleaned out the locker room following their heartbreaking defeat to Belgium.

The Japanese squad were eliminated from the World Cup tournament in a disappointing 3-2 defeat to Belgium on Monday.

Japan jumped out to a 2-0 lead, but it wasn't enough, as they conceded three consecutive goals - with the decisive third goal occurring in the final seconds of the match.

Comment: Columbia and Senegal also set examples of good fan behavior:

The Senegalese fans gave a show of civility and collected the trash in the bleachers 40 minutes after match against Poland. A tremendous example that deserves to be shared!

And after the Japan-Columbia match:

Colombia supporters wanted great. No person was told Congraturation. We took our blue bag and picked up the trash together. Can we do it with the opposite result? The depths of football are deep.

Leftist nonsense: Some schools in England ban girls from wearing skirts to accommodate transgender students

Some 40 secondary schools in England have banned girls from wearing skirts, one month after a school in Oxfordshire recommended it's male students wear them to deal with soaring temperatures.

According to the Sunday Times, schools are opting for gender-neutral uniforms to encompass transgender students, with others consulting on a ban.

Priory School, a secondary in Lewes, East Sussex enforced a ban on skirts and ordered girls to wear trousers instead in an effort to accommodate transgender pupils, after students had asked why girls and boys had to wear different clothes.

Headteacher Tony Smith said in September, "We have a small but increasing number of transgender students and therefore having the same uniform is important for them."

But feminists have complained that a complete ban on skirts in favour of gender-neutral uniform is not the answer to the growing number of transgender pupils, arguing that children should be offered a choice.

Comment: With growing efforts to kowtow to this small minority of people, such measures risk creating a serious backlash against these policies and perhaps against those they are constantly trying to protect / accommodate. None of this is likely to end well.

French woman who went to Syria to marry ISIS commander - and brought her 3 young children - sentenced to 7 years in prison

Claire Khacer moved to Syria in 2015 in order to marry a jihadist she met on Facebook, also bringing along her three children, ages 2, 8 and 16 to the war-torn country, the BFMTV channel reported.

According to BFMTV, Khacer was sentenced to seven years in prison on Friday by a Paris court.

The woman married and divorced the Daesh officer Raqa Oumar Diaw in Syria. She was later arrested by Turkish authorities and subsequently deported back to France. The woman, who converted to Islam at age 17, stated she had considered Diaw to be a low-rank commander, adding that she never had a "political commitment," and always "condemned the jihadist attacks targeting France."

French police suspected that her ex-husband, who belonged to the Daesh terrorist group, was involved in the torture of prisoners of war and organizing terror attacks in France. He was allegedly eliminated in May 2016.

Comment: Khacer seems to have had a habit of marrying extremists: in 2011, she went to Afghanistan to marry another radical. She assured the court she had no 'political commitment' to ISIS, and claims she left Syria "because of a malaise".

Inside information into the years-long sex saga involving two former Louisville Metropolitan Police Department (LMPD) officers is now being revealed. The city commissioned former U.S. Attorney Kerry Harvey to investigate the LMPD Explorers program for children to determine if sexual misconduct, abuse, and even rape were widespread with police officers involved in the program.

Two former LMPD officers have been charged with serious crimes, as The Free Thought Project reported, and the city, with good reason, wanted to know more about how police handled the complaints from parents and reports children were being groomed, propositioned, and even raped.

As TFTP reported in October 2017:

Brandon Wood...allegedly raped a teenage boy, both in [his] car and in a residence, and filmed the crime for the purposes of producing pornography. [Kenneth] Betts and Wood were police officer mentors in the Youth Explorer Program for kids who want to one day become law enforcement officers. It was inside the mentorship program that they are accused of finding their victims.

'Who does that?' Woman calls cops after 12-yo boy accidentally mows part of her lawn

A 12-year-old Ohio boy was cutting a woman's lawn when a neighbor called the police after he accidentally mowed part of her yard.

Reginald Fields, who owns Mr. Reggie's Lawn Cutting Service, was mowing Lucille Holt's lawn Saturday with his friends when cops showed up.

"You have young people out here doing something positive and to get the police called on them was ridiculous," Fields told InsideEdition.com. "Who does that?"

The neighbor was reportedly mad because the boys mowed a patch of grass that sits between Holt's lawn and hers but, according to Holt, there is no fence separating the properties.

Reggie was unaware he had cut the neighbor's grass when authorities showed up.

Flutist plays during operation as doctors cut out her brain tumor

Surgery to remove a brain tumor is terrifying at best, but one patient decided to make the process a little more bearable, by playing the flute during the operation, providing surgeons with a recital in the most unusual of places.

Sofia Pinaeva, 28, underwent the surgery at University Hospital in Graz, Austria. She opted to stay awake for the surgery; if asleep, the patient runs a higher risk of losing brain function in the procedure.

But staying awake is one thing. Playing the flute while surgeons slice into your brain is another.

The railway stretches to Turkmenistan and Kazakhstan, linking Central Asia to the Persian Gulf and beyond.

Lancashire, UK: Arsonists spotted lighting fires only miles away from out-of-control moorland blaze

A helicopter has spotted people lighting new fires on a Lancashire Moor, as firefighters battle to contain a blaze raging nearby, at Winter Hill. Fire crews have described the discovery as "heartbreaking and unbelievable."

More than 20 fire engines were ready to take on a new day at the scene of the moorland fire on Monday, with firefighting resumed at dawn. Crews remained at Winter Hill, near Bolton, overnight. Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service (LFRS) confirmed that extra crews arrived at dawn, bringing the total number of fire engines to 22.

"These fire engines are continuing to focus on hotspots around the 8km (5mi) site," the LFRS tweeted. Adding further fuel to the already well-established moor blaze, arsonists were spotted lighting grassfires in the nearby Healey Nab area by a police helicopter.

"As they've been trying to extinguish the fire, people have been seen lighting other grass fires in the vicinity," Tony Crook from Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service told Sky News "Police are now attending the scene, to try to apprehend those arsonists. It absolutely astounds me."
