Germany: the consequences of the attacks involving immigrants
Immigrants or people with an immigrant background were responsible for four attacks in Bavaria and Baden-Wurttemberg between 18 and 24 July. Twelve people were killed as a result of the attacks (including three of the attackers). Three of the attackers were migrants who had arrived in Germany during the past two years, and one was a German citizen of Iranian background. In two of the cases the perpetrators left video recordings proving that they were acting on behalf of Islamic State. This was the first time this organisation assumed responsibility for attacks in Germany. This was also the first suicide attack with the use of explosives in Germany. Due to the fact that these attacks came in short succession, it has rekindled the debate over Angela Merkel's migration policy, its consequences, her responsibility for the attacks, and ways to prevent further attacks. The most important proposals put forward in the debate include improving continuation of efforts to reduce the porousness of the borders, imposing stricter gun laws, allowing the Bundeswehr to become active in Germany during a terrorist threat, better funding of the law enforcement agencies and better invigilation of the Internet. The Bavarian CSU insists that all refugees staying in Germany must be vetted once again.
- These attacks – even if they were unrelated – add credibility to slogans heard from anti-immigrant and anti-Muslim groupings. They raise such issues as the threat to national security posed by refugees, the impossibility that Muslims will integrate with the rest of society, crime among immigrants and the state's failure to fulfil its obligations to citizens. In the immediate future, this will most likely lead to a further increase in support for: the Alternative for Germany (AfD), such movements as the anti-immigrant Pegida, and falling confidence in the political parties which form the government coalition (CDU/CSU-SPD).
- Angela Merkel and her government will continue to promote the narrative which emphasises the differences between the four cases and the different individual motives of each of the perpetrators. At the same time, the CDU/CSU-SPD coalition will decide to allocate more funds to the police and other law enforcement agencies, and will most likely allow the Bundeswehr to take action inside the country. In turn, the law enforcement agencies will have to verify the previous assumption that the greatest terrorist threat is posed by local extremists, and that migrants are not becoming radicalised.
- The sense of threat among the German public (according to public opinion polls, already 77% of Germans fear a terrorist attack) and distrust towards immigrants are likely to rise in the immediate future. This may lead to tensions between the various ethnic groups which may take the form of 'retaliatory' actions, including street fights and an intensification of attacks on refugee shelters.

Councilman Steven Detrick
Elk Grove City Council – District III
"With a population of more than 160,000 residents, we have a large community of skilled and well-educated professionals, and well-designed, move-in ready office space, Elk Grove is the perfect place to locate your business," said Councilman Steven Detrick. "The City offers a supportive government that stands ready to do everything we can to make relocating or expanding your business a smooth and efficient process. Elk Grove is also a City in motion; a City that is open for business, a great place to call home, raise your children, and as you will see, a great choice for your home and your business!"
Elk Grove Councilman Steven M. Detrick was elected to the Elk Grove City Council in 2008. Before that, Steve was very active in the community, both in sports and in local government, as co-founder and chairperson of Elk Grove Coalition Advocating Proper Planning (EGCAPP).
Professionally, Steve has been employed with PG&E for 42 years, currently as the Northern California Electric Transmission Estimating Supervisor. His position involves leading a group of overhead and underground electrical engineering estimators that serve PG&E and the Northern California Communities with service planning, new business and reconstruction electric transmission and distribution projects for individuals, developers, cities, counties and the State of California.
Family is at the center of everything Steve does. Steve, along his wife Jan Detrick of 30 years, moved to Elk Grove in 1990, where they have realized many of their dreams. Elk Grove is a great community, and is where they chose to raise their three sons: Steven, Brian and Nick. Steve is also a proud grandfather of Gabriella and Olivia.
Steve is an avid sportsman and his passion is mentoring youth of all ages. Steve has been involved in Youth Sports at all levels as a mentor and coach for water-skiing, disabled water-skiing, baseball, soccer, football and basketball.
Steve's entire family is also involved in Youth Sports at all levels – coach and/or supporter for water-skiing, disabled water-skiing, baseball, soccer, track and field, football and basketball. Steve is a national competitor in USA Water-Skiing and he has achieved nationally rated status as a senior driver and senior judge.
Steve takes his role as a public servant very seriously and he is steadfast about making sure he is accessible not only for the residents of Elk Grove, but for our business owners as well.
Why Steve Detrick?
In the 90's, I became involved with community issues that affect Elk Grove. I have found that many community leaders place their own interests above the interest of the citizens of Elk Grove.
I invite you to join my campaign. We face difficult decisions, and daunting tasks. Here are just a few reasons why I invite you to support my campaign:
- Get tough on crime: It's time to stop playing politics with Law Enforcement. We need to put more police on the streets with the best equipment and training possible. Enact tougher laws to crack down on gang members and repeat offenders. I believe that public safety is city government's most important duty. Elk Grove Citizens shouldn't have to live in fear. I believe our neighborhoods and schools should be safe places for our children to grow up. I will build bridges between our police, fire, park and school district officials to educate and empower students and parents to resolve issues involving crime and safety.
- Revive the local Economy: Elk Grove needs to become a city that attracts new businesses and good jobs. I will keep taxes and fees low, make sure your tax dollars are spent wisely, and cut the red tape to make Elk Grove a thriving local economy.
- Honest and Transparent Government: I have been raising my family in Elk Grove since 1990. For years I have worked tirelessly to make public officials accountable to the people, not special interests. It's time to end the backroom deals and bring openness and transparency to city government. I will always support public engagement in all aspects of city government from projects to issues, and will vigorously maintain open communication with my fellow citizens, always listening to all sides to render the most informed votes.
- I have successfully brought forth ordinances passed by the Elk Grove City Council
- I have worked with other community groups on projects and summit meetings to better our city
- I have 40 years of experience with citizens, city, county and state organizations
- I will restore the public's trust, and will always represent the interests of the citizens of Elk Grove
- I have worked with fellow citizens and the Elk Grove Police Department to address crime and gang prevention
- I have worked with city and county agencies at forums to work toward resolving traffic problems and increasing the quality of public transportation
- I have worked with citizens and financial institutions to forge solutions to help citizens remedy the economic problems that many are facing today
- I am a proponent of smart, controlled growth, as we build toward the future together
- I vow to bring more quality businesses and jobs to Elk Grove so that we will be able to support our local businesses, and promise to keep an "eagle-eye" on your tax dollars to ensure fiscal responsibility and cut wasteful spending

text: So the next Spider-Man film recently got a new logo and a confirmed title. They're calling it 'Spider-Man: Homecoming'. I'm not exactly sure what the new Spider-Man to be played by Tom Holland will give us, but I'd be lying if I said that I wasn't excited. I love Spider-Man and I look forward to seeing his next adventure! It's going to be fantastic to see him line up alongside some of the Avengers in CA:Civil War and some of the Avengers are rumoured to be making an appearance here in this stand alone film. My main hope is that they introduce a different villain this time. Maybe Mysterio perhaps? Even Vulture or Kingpin would be cool to see, in my opinion. But with talk of a Venom stand alone film flying about, maybe we'll see Marvel attempt to rectify the damage done to the character in Spiderman 3. I'm curious what your opinion is, what Spidey villain would you like to see on the big screen?

From 1987 to 1995, we laughed and cried with the Tanner family through "Full House," and on February 26, 2016, Netflix gave the world a revival series, "Fuller House." The second season had just been released, but between filming this new show's seasons, what else have these stars been up to?
Candace Cameron Bure
Candace followed in the footsteps of her older brother, Kirk Cameron, and pursued acting, which led to her being cast as D.J. Tanner, the oldest daughter in "Full House." Since the show ended, Candace married hockey player Valeri Bure, had three children and appeared in "Dancing with the Stars." She loves being back with her original cast in "Fuller House"...so much so that she hopes it never ends and grows into "Fullest House."
Jodie Sweetin
Jodie has been married and divorced three times, resulting in two children.
She began her career as a four-year-old in a hot dog commercial...then dealt with drug and alcohol addiction...which led to her writing a memoir, "unSweetined," in 2009. She's excited to be back with her TV family, something that's dear to her and has been since she was five years old, being the only one to appear in every episode of both "Full House" and "Fuller House."
Andrea Barber
After playing Kimmy Gibbler, Andrea opted for a quieter life of motherhood. The only time she was on the screen between "Full House" and "Fuller House" was in a 2012 short by co-star Dave Coulier.
Scott Weinger
In fall 1994, Scott left LA - and being Steve in "Full House" - to attend Harvard University. After graduating, he made a comeback, starring in "Shredder," producing an award-winning short called "The Cricket Player," providing his voice for Disney video games and writing for the WB's "Like Family" and "What I Like About You."
Bob Saget
Bob tried to see more humorous success with shows like "Raising Dad" and "Surviving Suburbia" but finally settled as the narrator of "How I Met Your Mother."
John Stamos
John won two Soap Opera Digest Awards, played drums with The Beach Boys and acted in "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying." After being the first to announce his departure from "Full House" he was involved in the Roundabout Theatre Company's musical "Nine," ABC's show "Jake in Progress," the Broadway revival of "Bye Bye Birdie" and appearances on various TV shows and commercials.
Dave Coulier
Hanna-Barbera's "Scooby-Doo" and "Scrappy-Doo." "Muppet Babies," "Skating with Celebrities" "Shredderman Rules" "The Surreal Life," and "Robot Chicken," are just a few of the shows Dave has showcased his talent in.
Lori Loughlin
Lori is best known as Rebecca Donalson-Katsopolis, but she's also portrayed Ava Gregory in "Summerland" (which she also co-created and produced!), Gelsey Alexander in the 2007 film "Moondance Alexander" and characters in Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen's movies.
Her husband, Mossimo Giannulli, is the creator of the Mossimo clothing line, and the two are happily raising children together.
Blake and Dylan Tuomy-Wilhoit
Dylan, who is 21 minutes older than his twin, is credited as working in the sound departments of "Black Sails," "Game of Thrones" and movies such as "Furious 7," while Blake is focusing on leading a normal life. The two are cousins of actress Lisa Wilhoit and running a food truck in the "Fuller House" universe.
Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen
Speaking of twins, the MIA Mary-Kate and Ashley are busy being fashion designers, producers, authors and businesswomen.
What began when the girls were just nine months old turned into an empire full of straight-to-video movies, fragrances, fashion dolls, television shows and surprising appearances in a music video and Weeds.

Caroline Nelson: Dancer and Venue Manager
New York City
What Moves You?
"I feel strongly connected to the multifaceted dancer. I've purposefully chosen to be both professional modern dancer along with being a full time venue manager. It's crucial for dancers (of any discipline) to value our deep intelligence and intuition that is naturally inherited within our craft, and to bring those talents outside of the dance studio and share them with the world."
Caroline Nelson is a founding member of Treeline Dance Works and Falcon Dance / Brit Falcon, while freelancing for numerous other dance companies within NYC. Performance credits include theaters, found spaces, colleges, and universities throughout the US as well as Europe. Caroline holds a BFA from SUNY the College at Brockport, Magna cum Laude, where she performed in works by Keigwin and Company and David Dorfman Dance, among others. Caroline is also a manager at House of Yes: a groundbreaking theater, nightclub, and performance collective based in Bushwick, Brooklyn.

You may do so in the EU member state of your habitual residence, your place of work or the place of the alleged infringement.

Senior Client Service Associate
You could say that Christie's career choice is in her blood. "My dad is a financial advisor," she explains. "My sister also worked in the industry, as does her husband. I'm a fast worker and am very detail oriented, so it's a great fit for me as well."
Christie holds a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from the University of Virginia's College at Wise and spent 13 years in customer service roles before launching her financial career with oXYGen Financial. She holds her Series 7 and 66 licenses.
Christie has claimed a number of states home – Virginia, Colorado, Georgia – and she greatly values spending time with family, both nearby and around the country. Other favorite hobbies include: reading, spending time with friends, and working out. She is also proud of her involvement with her church.
Plus: she loves to crochet! "My mom and mamaw taught me to crochet when I was young," she explains. When her sister became pregnant with her second son, Christie re-taught herself so she could make him a baby blanket.
Better Advice. Better Decisions. Better Life.

Dream Journal: Once Upon A Time In The West
I'm in a pub.
They're putting white table cloths and candles on the tables and I ask this woman what's going on and she says "They're celebrating Hanuka". "They" meaning the Jews. I remember pegging her as a racist.
I know I need to go out because I have the house all for myself. It's a long weekend because of Rosh Hashana and everybody will be out. "Everybody" means my family.
Then I go outside. It's night. I get lost. Can't find the streetcar stop. Someone approaches with a pickup truck – I'm standing on this sandy pit and he drives backwards and doesn't see me and almost runs me over.
I go down to the fork in the road and choose another street, there's police or something like that blocking the street.
Coincidentally, this is the way to my work. Apparently in the dream I'm equating "going to work" with "going home".
Somehow I find myself in the station but I don't recognize it. It's white and clean and I see stairs spiraling up. It's more like a fire station then a subway station. On the stairs I find this pale green cloth, or piece of clothing. Can't remember exactly. It's wrapped up in a nylon bag, I think. I take it out of the wrap and wear it because I think I need to if I want to get on the train. Then I realize it doesn't even fit me and I take it off. At that point this guy comes out of a room and offers me coffee – expensive kind of coffee, with foam and all that crap – in a small china cup, on a plate, like in a coffee shop. The room where he was in, there are other people there. Looks like the lunch room or something, or the kitchenette. I ask him where's the train and he tells me.
The platform is outside, and it's day time. It looks like it came out of a western. Bushes, and rocks and pebbles. I'm looking for a place to put my coffee cup (which I hardly touched) and eventually just puts it on a rock, but then I look to the side and see there's a bunch of similar cups on the sandy ground not far from where I stand, so I go and put the plate with the cup on the ground next to the other cups.
At some point this petite Asian girl comes along. She hugs two ugly monstrous green lizards with her arms, and between her fingers she holds a wreathing, live cockroach (recurring symbol #1: Bugs). She proceeds to put the cockroach on the ground and then releases the lizards after it. She explains to us that she's an artist who creates tattoos on the ground. When the green lizards kill the cockroach they use this greenish goo which they shoot from their mouths. The girl uses this goo to create her paintings. She turns over some rocks to show us other works she did in the area. You know how you usually find snakes and scorpions if you turn over a rock in a western? Well, here you find "earth tattoos". The paintings themselves are imprinted on the bottom of the rock, and not on the ground, and interestingly enough, they're not green but pretty colorful. That's all I remember from them.
Then the girl collects her little monsters and the dead, squashed cockroach and walks away. I remember feeling disgusted.
Then I go back to the platform and wait for the train. I meet this kid, maybe 15 years old, and he says something about "filmmakers don't have to wait for trains" or "don't have to" something. I don't remember exactly what. I tell him some filmmakers do. Oh, and he's there with his mother.
Then the train arrives and we all get in. Of course, the inside of the train is quite different than a subway train. It's wide, the seats are arranged in rows in the middle of the space, and there's a screen on the wall facing the seats (recurring symbol #2: screens). The interior reminds me more of a ship then of a train. There's other stuff going on in the train, some talk about something, with the kid and his mother, but I don't remember what. There's also something showing on the screen, I think, but I don't remember what it was either. I do remember that at some point, either on the train or afterward, I'm meeting a couple of my friends, a husband and wife, and joins them in my hurry to get home, maybe they'll show me the way, but we end up in the same pub where the dream began (now that I think of it, the pub also has this strong Western vibe to it. Wooden tables and chairs, and just the layout of a saloon).
They look very tired. I almost feel guilty for dragging them along.
Anyway, it's night again, and the pub is pretty empty. We sit and talk, I don't remember about what. But they keep telling me to lower my voice because I disturb this lonely, middle-aged (bald?) guy sitting next to us. So I try and lower my voice.
At some point I realize I finally went the wrong way again, so I tell them I have to go, and then I leave. Outside, There's heavy rain. I open my black umbrella but it doesn't help, the rain is so hard the umbrella is actually sagging in my hand, and the pole is leaning to one side and almost breaking.
So I go back inside.
I'm not sure what comes before or after here, but I find myself talking with the bald guy and apologizing if I disturbed him, he seems depressed and tells me about the incident where this Arab guy came to him earlier and threatened him with a knife. According to my response, I was supposed to have witnessed this incident, but if you read back, you'll see I have no recollection of that in the dream sequence. I proceed to tell him that the guy was just showing off and that he had no real intention of hurting him.
Then I find that my friends have switched tables. In order to get to where they're seating now I need to go through this attractive couple who are blocking the pass. I ask them politely to let me pass and they politely do. Then the guy stands up and mentions my shirt. Apparently, I'm wearing my Scarface shirt, or a version of it. He talks about the quote which is on the shirt. It's a real quote from the movie: "Say hello to my little friend". But it doesn't appear on my real shirt. But on my dream shirt, apparently it is. I look down and see it written in small letters. I smile at the guy. He seems to be ecstatic by the shirt. His blond wife/girlfriend also smiles, I think.
I join my friends but then I notice someone coming in. It's a girl. She's very familiar to me but I can't peg her down a 100 percent. She's brunette, with short hair, and a beauty spot above her lip, like Madonna's or Cindy Crawford's. She's looking around and then notices me and starts asking me something (I think she says she was late for something but I'm not sure). Suddenly she stops, as if she forgot the etiquette, and hugs me. I hug her back and plant a kiss on her cheek. She lets go of me and gets back to her business, which is asking her question, which for the life of me I can't remember.
I also don't think I had an answer for her.
I go back to my friends while the girl sits in another table, alone. My friends tell me something like "what are you doing sitting here with us, go talk with this girl."
But I don't think I'm going. I think the dream ended at this point, in the anti-climactic way in which dreams often do.
Shooting Stars
It was a particularly clear night, and the skies were filled with stars, like millions of flashlights in a dark cave.
He pulled at a blade of grass next to the blanket, tearing it out of the ground. Then he let it go, and the wind caught it.
It flew away like a green little bird.
The wind was picking up. It was a rather chilly night. Summer was coming to an end. He looked to his left, where she lay, her face upturned, bathed by the moonlight.
"A penny for your thoughts," he said.
"I'm not thinking. I'm just lookin'."
He smiled. "Beautiful, isn't it?"
She nodded. "Yeah, it's amazing."
He propped himself up, his left elbow sinking into the blanket.
"Looking at all this magnificence, I feel insignificant and significant at the same time," she added.
Then she took a deep breath and let it out slowly, closing her eyes, relishing the breath.
"Are you cold?" he asked.
"Just a little bit."
"I'll get the sweater from the car."
"No. It's okay." she touched his arm. "Stay."
He sat cross-legged on the blanket.
"Hey!" he said in a tone to suggest he just discovered the wheel.
"I have a question for you."
She looked at him.
"What is it?"
"Well… do you love me?"
"What kind of a question is that?"
"Well, do you?"
"Of course I do".
"Then why are you leaving?"
Now she sat up too.
"Didn't we have that conversation already?"
"I don't want you to leave."
"It's not my call."
"You can stay at my place. I'm sure my parents won't mind."
"Tim…" She touched his thigh with manicured fingers. "Tim, I can't. I have to be with my family."
"Then you don't love me."
"How can you say you love me and then leave? If you have no problem leaving, then you don't really love me. If you loved me, you would've stayed."
"Tim, it's not forever. I'm not leaving you. I'm leaving this town."
"Same thing. And don't tell me you won't meet another guy in the big city… come on, they'll be all over you like flies. They don't take no for an answer over there."
She turned her face towards the stars again, saying:
"You don't need to worry about it."
"Oh, really?"
"Really. And you're ruining this beautiful night for me. For us."
"Well, you're leaving in the morning."
"Exactly, So I want this night to be special."
He dropped on his back again, pouting. She shook her head.
Suddenly, her eyes caught something.
"Look!" she said, pointing up.
"Up there! A shooting star!"
He followed her finger and saw it. Saw them, A group of shooting stars flying across the night sky from east to west, like streams of confetti.
"Oh, they're beautiful! Go on, Tim, make a wish! I'll make one too! Quickly, before they disappear!"
He looked up.
She looked up.
And then the shooting stars were gone, vanishing behind the horizon.
After a while it started getting cold, so they went back to the car.
Tim turned on the heating, but it didn't seem to work.
He punched the dashboard with frustration, shouting: "What a goddamn jalopy!"
"Relax," she said.
He grabbed the wheel, pushed the gas pedal, and turned the car around, ready to leave the hill and descend down the path.
But before hitting the marked dirt road, he stopped the car, and turned his face to look at her, grabbing the steering wheel so hard his knuckles turned red.
She put her hand on his shoulder, and smiled a smile as soft as sunrise. The car was cramped and small, but he managed to put his arms around her, and hugged her fiercely. She, in turn, put her arms over his back, sliding up and down, up and down, comforting him.
When he let go of her, he felt that his cheeks were wet. There was also this buzzing anger inside of him when he saw that her cheeks were quite dry, but he decided to let it go.
"I'll write to you every day," he said, "or at least every two days."
She laughed.
"I'll come visit. I promise" she said. And after a pause, added: "I wish things were different, but that's how it is."
"It's okay, I understand."
"I'm sorry if you're hurting."
"I'm okay."
She studied him.
"Okay," she said finally.
They sat in silence for a few seconds.
"I don't wanna drive back to town," he said. "I just wanna stay here with you."
"We can stay for a little while longer. Mom's doing most of the packing anyway."
He smiled and leaned back, opening the window, saying,
"I'm suddenly hot. Go figure."
He looked out. The moon was hidden behind a cloud.
"Can I ask you what you wished for?" He said.
"You're not supposed to tell."
"I know. But you won't even tell me?"
"Okay, I wished the heating in your car will work."
"You're lying."
"You got me." she laughed.
"Come on!"
"Alright, then. I don't mind telling you what I wished for."
"You wished that I won't leave."
"Am I that obvious?"
"You are."
"Hmm… And you?"
She took a deep breath.
"Well, it already came true," she said.
He seemed confused. "What do you mean?"
She shrugged.
"I wished to stay up here with you for just a little while longer."
And a tear rolled down her cheek, just like a shooting star.

Brillcast has become known as a leader in zinc die castings, both precision functional and Class A decorative zinc die castings. Our modern facilities use state of the art equipment to bring our customers the best processes available.
We manage the process from product design to completion. We assign a project manager to oversee each product launch. These managers act as an extension of the customer's company within Brillcast. They also assist in advance quality planning to ensure the success of the customer's zinc die castings project. Once product launch is started, a timetable is provided to the customer. This schedule includes all critical items needed to successfully complete the project. All projects are reviewed on a weekly basis with the customer.
Brillcast also manages the finishing of our customer's decorative zinc die castings project. From electro plating to powder coating or whatever finishes you might need as well as full assembly and integration, Brillcast can supply it as a "one stop supplier." As more and more companies reduce their supplier base, the suppliers remaining take on greater responsibilities. Brillcast is no exception.
Meeting our customer's requirements is our biggest priority. We strive to get a comprehensive understanding of a customer's project. In some cases, our knowledge of zinc and its properties can even help us find ways to improve part design and save the customer more money.
If you'd like to hear more about how zinc can be engineered to save money or if you're wondering if it makes sense to use zinc, please visit the contact us page on our website. We would love to have a discussion about where and when zinc works with you.
Take a moment to explore our website to learn more about zinc die castings and to see how we've expanded what we do.

Scott Weiland's (Stone Temple Pilots, etc.) widow Jamie Weiland is selling a couple of his Velvet Revolver-era hats on eBay. According to her, she is unable to keep them "due to some not fun changes in [her] life."

Scott Weiland's (Stone Temple Pilots, etc.) widow Jamie Weiland is selling a couple of his Velvet Revolver-era hats on eBay. According to her, she is unable to keep them "due to some not fun changes in [her] life."
[via Blabbermouth]
According to MyNewsLA.com, a judge has ordered the estate of the late Scott Weiland (Stone Temple Pilots, Velvet Revolver) to pay his children (Noah, 17, and Lucy, 15) $4,000 a month until they turn 18. The payments will only stop if they die, become legally emancipated or if the estate is terminated. The children's mother, Weiland's ex-wife Mary Weiland, filed court documents saying the estate was worth $1.6 million with an average annual royalties income of nearly $265,000. Aside from that, the estate has a $645,5000 debt to City National Bank and is also working to resolve a "significant federal creditor" claim for $700,000.
According to My News LA, Scott Weiland's (Stone Temple Pilots, Velvet Revolver) former wife Mary Weiland has filed lawsuits against Merchbar Inc., RageOn! Inc., OldGlory.com, Red Fox Ink and Officially Licensed Gear in Los Angeles Superior Court on behalf of their teenage children Noah and Lucy. The lawsuits come as a result of the companies using the late singer's name without consent. Head to My News LA to read more.
Scott Weiland's bassist, Tommy Black has officially been cleared of drug possession charges, after previously being arrested after police found cocaine in his area of the bus at the time of Weiland's death. The charges were dropped due to the fact that the narcotics could have pontentially belonged to anyone on the bus.
Deputy Bloomington Police Chief Mike Hartley issued the following statement to People:
"[The narcotics] were found in a bunk and obviously with several people residing on a bus a number of people could have potentially possessed those narcotics, so at the end of the day we decided not to pursue charges against him."
Weiland passed away on December 3, 2015, after overdosing on cocaine, MDA and alcohol. He was 48.
According to TMZ, Scott Weiland's toxicology results are officially in. The Hennepin County Medical Examiner found that the vocalist passed away after overdosing on cocaine, MDA (ecstasy) and alcohol. This combined with his past substance abuse, heart disease, and asthma, led to him going into cardiac arrest. Weiland was found dead on his tour bus, on December 3, at the age of 48. R.I.P.
According to TMZ, multiple drugs were found on late Stone Temple Pilots/Velvet Revolver frontman Scott Weiland's bus. It was previously revealed that cocaine was present, but there was also "a generic version of Xanax, 2 different brands of sleeping pills, Buprenorphine … a synthetic opiate painkiller, and Viagra … (and) Ziprasidone … which is used to treat bipolar disorder and schizophrenia." There was also a "green, leafy substance" as well. Weiland passed away on December 3, as a result of cardiac arrest. R.I.P.
Scott Weiland's (ex-Stone Temple Pilots/Velvet Revolver) ex-wife Mary Forsberg Weiland has issued an open letter about his passing, which you can read below. Weiland passed away on December 3, as a result of cardiac arrest. It is unknown if drugs played a role, but Tommy Black, bassist for Weiland's solo band The Wildabouts, was arrested for cocaine possession, after it was found in his part of the bus. According to the Minneapolis Star Tribune, Black has since been released, and a toxicology report from Weiland's autopsy will be available in "four to eight weeks." R.I.P.
Here's his ex-wife's letter, courtesy of Rolling Stone:
"December 3rd, 2015 is not the day Scott Weiland died. It is the official day the public will use to mourn him, and it was the last day he could be propped up in front of a microphone for the financial benefit or enjoyment of others. The outpouring of condolences and prayers offered to our children, Noah and Lucy, has been overwhelming, appreciated and even comforting. But the truth is, like so many other kids, they lost their father years ago. What they truly lost on December 3rd was hope.
We don't want to downplay Scott's amazing talent, presence or his ability to light up any stage with brilliant electricity. So many people have been gracious enough to praise his gift. The music is here to stay. But at some point, someone needs to step up and point out that yes, this will happen again – because as a society we almost encourage it. We read awful show reviews, watch videos of artists falling down, unable to recall their lyrics streaming on a teleprompter just a few feet away. And then we click "add to cart" because what actually belongs in a hospital is now considered art.
Many of these artists have children. Children with tears in their eyes, experiencing panic because their cries go unheard. You might ask, "How were we to know? We read that he loved spending time with his children and that he'd been drug-free for years!" In reality, what you didn't want to acknowledge was a paranoid man who couldn't remember his own lyrics and who was only photographed with his children a handful of times in 15 years of fatherhood.
I've always wanted to share more than anyone was comfortable with. When writing a book years ago, it pained me to sometimes gloss over so much grief and struggle, but I did what I thought was best for Noah and Lucy. I knew they would one day see and feel everything that I'd been trying to shield them from, and that they'd eventually be brave enough to say, "That mess was our father. We loved him, but a deep-rooted mix of love and disappointment made up the majority of our relationship with him."
Even after Scott and I split up, I spent countless hours trying to calm his paranoid fits, pushing him into the shower and filling him with coffee, just so that I could drop him into the audience at Noah's talent show, or Lucy's musical. Those short encounters were my attempts at giving the kids a feeling of normalcy with their dad. But anything longer would often turn into something scary and uncomfortable for them.
Spending so many years immersed in Scott's multiple illnesses led to my own depression; at one point, I was misdiagnosed as bipolar. I feared the same would happen to the children. There were times that Child Protective Services did not allow him to to be alone with them.
When Scott did move on to another relationship, I hoped it would inspire him to grow. I had often encouraged him to date a "normal" girl, a woman who was also a mother, someone who had the energy that I no longer had to love him. Instead, when he remarried, the children were replaced. They were not invited to his wedding; child support checks often never arrived. Our once sweet Catholic boy refused to watch the kids participate in Christmas Eve plays because he was now an atheist.
They have never set foot into his house, and they can't remember the last time they saw him on a Father's Day. I don't share this with you to cast judgment, I do so because you most likely know at least one child in the same shoes. If you do, please acknowledge them and their experience. Offer to accompany them to the father-daughter dance, or teach them to throw a football. Even the bravest girl or boy will refrain from asking for something like that; they may be ashamed, or not want to inconvenience you. Just offer – or even insist if you have to.
This is the final step in our long goodbye to Scott. Even though I felt we had no other choice, maybe we never should have let him go. Or maybe these last few years of separation were his parting gift to us – the only way he could think to soften what he knew would one day crush us deep into our souls.
Over the last few years, I could hear his sadness and confusion when he'd call me late into the night, often crying about his inability to separate himself from negative people and bad choices. I won't say he can rest now, or that he's in a better place. He belongs with his children barbecuing in the backyard and waiting for a Notre Dame game to come on. We are angry and sad about this loss, but we are most devastated that he chose to give up.
Noah and Lucy never sought perfection from their dad. They just kept hoping for a little effort. If you're a parent not giving your best effort, all anyone asks is that you try just a little harder and don't give up. Progress, not perfection, is what your children are praying for.
Our hope for Scott has died, but there is still hope for others. Let's choose to make this the first time we don't glorify this tragedy with talk of rock and roll and the demons that, by the way, don't have to come with it. Skip the depressing T-shirt with 1967-2015 on it – use the money to take a kid to a ballgame or out for ice cream."

It must be a progressive thing. It sounds an awful lot like Barack Obama's recent declaration to Americans: "You didn't build that!!"
Anyway, I don't buy it. I like Raymond Smullyan's approach to the problem in "Is God a Taoist?", a dialogue between God and a mortal which opens with:
And therefore, O God, I pray thee, if thou hast one ounce of mercy for this thy suffering creature, absolve me of having to have free will!
You reject the greatest gift I have given thee?
..And concludes with:
You said a short while ago that our whole discussion was based on a monstrous fallacy. You still have not told me what this fallacy is.
God:See also, Barbara and Jonathan Kay's reponses to Harris.
Why, the idea that I could possibly have created you without free will! You acted as if this were a genuine possibility, and wondered why I did not choose it! It never occurred to you that a sentient being without free will is no more conceivable than a physical object which exerts no gravitational attraction. (There is, incidentally, more analogy than you realize between a physical object exerting gravitational attraction and a sentient being exerting free will!) Can you honestly even imagine a conscious being without free will? What on earth could it be like? I think that one thing in your life that has so misled you is your having been told that I gave man the gift of free will. As if I first created man, and then as an afterthought endowed him with the extra property of free will. Maybe you think I have some sort of "paint brush" with which I daub some creatures with free will and not others. No, free will is not an "extra"; it is part and parcel of the very essence of consciousness. A conscious being without free will is simply a metaphysical absurdity.

Ever since I first visited St. Peter's Square as an undergraduate, I have been struck by the architectural image of the two open "arms" reaching from the basilica, welcoming the pilgrim people of the entire world into the church. Yet if we pay attention to the data and to anecdotal evidence, for every one person walking into that embrace there are roughly four walking out the back door.
With this cultural background in mind, Pope Benedict XVI called the Synod of Bishops together to discuss the topic, "the new evangelization for the transmission of the Christian faith." In addition, he has announced a "Year of Faith." The October gathering was attended by the bishops of the synod, who were joined by 45 experts and 49 observers, including 10 female experts and 19 female observers, the largest contingent of female ever invited to such an event.
Much of the diagnosis provided by the bishops regarding the challenge to faith and to the church in the late modern world is accurate. There is widespread skepticism about the possibility of knowing the truth in our world today. The sociologist James Davison Hunter calls this phenomena "dissolution"—an intellectual and linguistic breakdown of the trust that words accurately convey meaning or express anything as objectively true. This dissolution manifests itself in both intellectual and popular culture. I see it every day in my students, even if they cannot articulate what it is that makes it so difficult for them to take their required theology classes seriously as an academic pursuit.
Ever since I read Ralph McInerny's biography of Jacques Maritain, I have been struck by the example of Jacques and his wife, Raïssa Maritain, who, struggling with questions of the possibility of knowing the truth, made a pledge that if they discovered that they could not access truth, they would commit suicide. This was a dramatic response to cultural dissolution, to be sure, but also a poignant example of the need for some sense of truth to make life meaningful, rich and worth living. Many in our culture today would not take the Maritains' pledge so seriously; but perhaps it is true, as Henry David Thoreau put it, that most people are living lives of quiet desperation. It may not manifest itself in a pact to commit suicide, but many people today are living without a sense of meaning or purpose. I cannot help but think of Jesus' words: "When he saw the crowds, he was moved with pity for them, because they were...like sheep without a shepherd" (Mt 9:36). Given the challenges that face us, how are we to proceed with the engagement with culture to which the Gospel and common sense call us as people of faith?
A Modern Disease
Perhaps no one has diagnosed this modern struggle better than the German philosopher and Thomist, Josef Pieper. Writing in the wake of World War II and drawing on a term with ancient resonances in the monastic tradition, he called this spiritual disease the modern manifestation of acedia. For Pieper, acedia is a "deep-seated lack of calm," rooted in a person's refusal "to give the consent of his will to his own being," especially as that being is made in the image and likeness of God (Gn 1:26). The human person can only find its true rest in contemplation of and relationship with the divine beauty and goodness. Although acedia can manifest itself as a depressive state (hence it is sometimes inaccurately translated as "sloth" or "laziness"), more frequently in today's world it manifests itself in excessive busyness—the pursuit of activity, success, achievement, possessiveness—anything to justify my existence in the face of apparent meaninglessness and to keep me distracted from the creeping sense of despair that underlies day to day existence.
The church is the steward of a vast array of spiritual resources—not least among them the liturgy, the word of God and the Eucharist—that speak directly to the suffering and acedia of the human person in the late modern world. The attempt to convey these resources authentically, peacefully and with great love and compassion is literally a matter of life and death for many and is the central task of the new evangelization. So I offer here a few thoughts and suggestions on the new evangelization from my perspective as a moral theologian working in the American context.
Disengage from the "culture wars." In Jesus' time no less than now, people are ultimately persuaded to the truth of the Gospel by the visceral appeal and the raw beauty of the truth that Christ embodies. Political bantering and villainizing those with whom we disagree only fosters alienation, resentment and hatred in our culture. Worse, it divides the members of the body of Christ against each other. I am not sure, but I suspect the unforgivable sin against the Holy Spirit (Mk 3:29, Mt 12:30) has something to do with fostering this kind of division. In addition, I am not so sure any more that it is our responsibility to "Christianize" modern culture. The Gospel of John tells us: "My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my followers would be fighting to keep me from being handed over" (18:36). The culture wars are a violent fight (even if only verbally), so why are "my followers" taking up arms? (Let me be clear that this does not mean we turn away from public or cultural engagement or the struggle for justice, but that we make sure we are doing this in ways that align with the Gospel).
Do not compete with pop culture. The old saying is true: "The medium is the message." For all the benefits of modern technology, its predominant forms of communication foster superficiality and mediocrity at their worst, and even at their best are incapable of fostering the kind of deep contemplation that can address the acedia of the age. People today, especially young people, can sniff out insincerity from a mile away, and modern media cannot fully capture or convey the most authentic and beautiful expressions of the Catholic tradition.
Bring forth out of our treasure what is old and what is new (Mt 13:52). The church historian Jaroslav Pelikan reportedly remarked that it takes approximately 100 years for each ecumenical council to implement the fullness of its vision and genius. If that is true, we are only half way to realizing the fullness of the Second Vatican Council, a process that is still working itself out (see "A Time to Harvest," by Ladislas Orsy, S.J., Am., 10/8/12). The council's genius was expressed in the French term ressourcement. The ideal was to go back to the sources, to Scripture and the vast wisdom of the early and medieval church, in order to speak the truth of Christ's love to the modern world. The Catholic tradition is beautiful in its expression of the truth that it conveys, and we can witness to the beauty of that tradition in as many ways as there are Catholics in the world.
Uphold the truth. The defense of the faith will not appear the same today as in past centuries. It certainly will not look like the kind of reactionism against the modern age that characterized the neoscholasticism of the 19th century. If the presentation of the truth is to appeal to the modern person, it will most likely need to be hermeneutical. That is, the truth of the Gospel should be presented as containing essential and timeless truths about the triune nature of God, about the human person and about creation in a way that is interpreted and lived in as many ways as there are Christians (living, dead and yet to come). Please note: This is not relativism. The rule of faith and the Nicene-Constantinople Creed remain normative, yet within these boundaries of orthodoxy there are an infinite number of ways to live out the Gospel joyfully with faith and authenticity.
Model servant leadership. This applies to every Christian, not just the bishops (although they have a distinctive responsibility in this regard). Christianity can only be respected as a way of truth if public leaders exercise responsibility and power in ways that model Christ's servant leadership (the washing of the feet, for example, in John 13). Late modern believers and unbelievers are skeptical toward those who exercise any form of authority, and the only way they will trust the church enough to listen to its message is if they see Christian leaders living noble, even if quiet and unassuming, lives. This applies to everyone, as expressed in the "Dogmatic Constitution on the Church" as the priesthood of all believers, and it is an essential element of the "universal call to holiness." Christians can exercise authentic leadership in a wide array of public forums—business, media, education, literature, art, academia, politics and government, as well as official positions within the hierarchical church. This kind of servant leadership requires attention to the contours of one's individual life, to the roles one inhabits and to the institutions to which one belongs and exercises influence. By mindfully embracing each Christian's particular roles and manifestations of the call to holiness, we can embody the Gospel in creative and life-giving ways in all aspects of culture.
Mohandas Gandhi referred to his life's mission and work on behalf of justice as "experiments in truth." The modern age, with its hermeneutical approach to truth, recognizes that truth can be discovered only through lived experience, and this often involves wrong turns and ventures down dead-end alleys. But if we believe the Holy Spirit is still guiding the church, then, as the singer Emmylou Harris put it, we just might "stumble into grace." We should have no illusion that everyone in our culture will turn toward the Gospel and the church, but there is a universal hunger for truth and the church has a distinctive role to play in proposing Jesus Christ as "the way, the truth, and the life" (Jn 14:6) to the hearts and minds of the human community. Despite the fears and uncertainties about the future of the church and late modern culture, the open "arms" of St. Peter's Square continue to challenge us to remain open and hopeful.

Kate Chopins The Story of an Hour.Written in 1894, The Story of an Hour is a story of a woman who, through the erroneously reported death of her husband, experienced true freedom. Both tragic and ironic, the story deals with the boundaries imposed on women by society in the nineteenth century. The author Kate Chopin, like the character in her story, had first-hand experience with the male-dominated society of that time and had experienced the death of her husband at a young age (Internet). The similarity between Kate Chopin and her heroine can only leave us to wonder how much of this story is fiction and how much is personal experience.
Indeed, Louise Mallard and Kate Chopins lives are very similar and ironic. Louises life began once she came to the realization that she could live for herself. During this hour she felt true joy and freedom, but her life ended abruptly as her husband walked through the door. Like Mrs. Mallard, Chopins writing career began once her husband died. She wrote a few collections of short stories, but when she began expressing her feminist views, the critics walked through the door and her life as a writer was over.

Life is full of surprises. We never know what is going to happen next. We can wake up in the morning happy and healthy, but disaster can strike at any minute. The cataclysms of our life sometimes give us what we were dreaming about for a long time. These life events can be so pleasant and desirable that we can even die if someone takes it away from us. This wonderful thing very often appears to be freedom: the life that you can lead as you like, decisions that you can make when you want, steps that you can take without instructions.
In The Story of an Hour Kate Chopin gives us the example of a situation when the wife is a victim of family relations.
explores not only the way in which patriarchal society, through its concepts of gender , its objectification of women in gender roles, and its institutionalization of marriage, constrains and oppresses women, but also the way in which it, ultimately, erases women and feminine desires. Because women are only secondary and other, they become the invisible counterparts to their husbands, with no desires, no voice, no identity. (Wohlpart 3).
For a long time women have been considered the inferior sex and, therefore, expected to be subservient to men. She couldnt make decisions, share her opinion, or exhibit her talents. All desires, voice and identity belonged only to men.
In my research paper I want to discuss the concept of freedom for a woman in Kate Chopins The Story of an Hour, and how the wrong news can make the happiest person in the world and then cause her death.
Relationships seem to be the favorite subject of Kate Chopins stories. As Margaret Bauer suggests that Chopin is concerned with exploring the dynamic interrelation between women and men, women and patriarchy, even women and women (Bauer 146). In The Story of an Hour Chopin deals with the subject of marriage. She illustrates the influence of family alliance on individual freedom. According to Wohlpart,The Story of an Hour describes the journey of Mrs. Mallard against the Cult of True Womanhood as she slowly becomes aware of her own desires and thus of a feminine self that has long been suppressed(Wohlpart 2). The Cult of True Womanhood in the XIX century included purity and domesticity. The former suggested that women must maintain their virtue. The latter denied them their intellectual and professional capabilities (Papke 12). Being the victim of this Cult, Louise Mallard was a good example of a wife without her own desires and feminine self.
The background of the story gives us the idea of what Mrs. Mallards marriage meant to her. We see a picture of a young well-to-do wife who seems to be very pleased with her life. We also get the impression that she was deeply in love with her husband. The news, brought by her sister and her husbands friend Richards about his death, filled her with a big sorrow: She wept

Elephants are incredibly complex animals. They are highly sensitive and intelligent, they experience joy and grieve just like humans, and they value family, staying in close-knit herds and caring deeply for their young. Unfortunately, whether it's due to poaching, captivity in zoos and circuses, or the tourism trade, many elephants get separated from their loved ones. Since elephant families are so tightly woven, when babies are separated from their parents, they deal with an unimaginable stress and depression.
Thankfully, there are organizations in existence that care for abandoned elephants and even work to one day reunite them with their families. In the video above, we see young elephant, Zuki, being reunited with his mother, Bua Jaan, thanks to the incredible efforts of the Elephants Asia Rescue and Survival Foundation. After four years apart, it's no surprise that the pair and the other family members seem to have a lot to talk about and catch up on! Their body language and the way they interact verbally really gives us a glimpse into the intricate lives of these creatures. We're so happy they made their way back to each other! We hope one day everyone will be able to realize how rich and unique each one of their lives are and know that exploiting them is nothing short of a crime.
