New Delhi: Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Tuesday said the Modi government will not tolerate any breach of India’s territory and is ready to deal with any such acts strongly. Shah also asserted that the situation in Jammu and Kashmir has been peaceful ever since the special status given to the state under 370 was abrogated on August 5 and added that not a single bullet has been fired nor anyone has died since then. “There will be no compromise on India’s security. We will not tolerate even an inch of breach of our territory. We will deal with it strongly. We will not allow any drop of blood of our soldiers go in vain,” he said addressing an event of the All India Management Association here. Coming down heavily on the previous Congress regime for not adopting a comprehensive national security policy, the home minister said the country’s strategic policy was overshadowed by the foreign policy. “After the surgical strike and air strike, the perception of the world has changed and India’s strength has been recognised globally,” he added.

Highlights from the news file for Wednesday, Sept. 20———LIBERALS SEIZE ON TORY’S ‘BARBIE’ TWEET: The Liberals have their sights set on Conservative Gerry Ritz after the Saskatchewan MP described Environment Minister Catherine McKenna as a “climate Barbie” on Twitter. In response to an article Tuesday about countries falling short of their climate change commitments, Ritz tweeted, “Has anyone told our climate Barbie” — a reference to McKenna. Natural Resources Minister Jim Carr used the daily question period to demand Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer condemn Ritz’s comments and force him to apologize in the House of Commons. Scheer, for his part, ignored Carr and a barrage of Liberal catcalls to instead press the government on its controversial small business tax proposals.———STOP ATTACKING WEALTHY, LIBERAL MP WARNS: Not everyone is on board with the way Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has been going after the rich as he defends his Liberal government’s controversial tax proposals — and that includes some members of his own caucus. The prime minister has been sounding defiant as he makes the case for eliminating tax provisions used by a growing number of small businesses, saying the system should not allow wealthy Canadians to pay lower taxes than the middle class. Montreal MP Nicola Di Iorio said his fellow Liberals would do well to remember that they campaigned for everyone, not just the vote-rich middle class.———FUNERAL FOR FALLEN MOUNTIE DRAWS LARGE CROWD: Hundreds of RCMP officers in red serge with hats in hand filed into a New Brunswick church to pay tribute to a fallen Mountie killed last week when he stopped to help stranded motorists change a flat tire. The regimental funeral for Const. Frank Deschenes of the Nova Scotia RCMP filled St. Bernard’s Catholic Church in Moncton, which seats 800. A large crowd also gathered along the tree-lined street outside to pay their respects to the young officer.———SOHI TO DISCUSS INFRASTRUCTURE WITH PROVINCES: The federal infrastructure minister wants to talk about how to better manage the flow of construction cash from Ottawa to cities when he sits down this week with his provincial and territorial counterparts. Infrastructure money historically falls short of budget projections because the federal government doesn’t dole out cash until after construction begins or ends on a project. Infrastructure Minister Amarjeet Sohi says how funds are delivered will be a key issue during face-to-face meetings Thursday in the national capital.———ALBERTA CANDIDATE WANTS ‘NO BODY, NO PAROLE’ LAW: A would-be politician in Alberta wants Canada to adopt a “no body, no parole” law. Dane Lloyd is vying for the federal Conservative nomination in Sturgeon River-Parkland, the seat left vacant when the party’s interim leader Rona Ambrose left politics this summer. Lloyd says the law would be similar to one in Australia that forces killers to reveal the location of their victims’ bodies if they want a chance at parole.———CROWN WANTS UP TO 15 YEARS FOR MAN WHO STRANGLED WIFE: A man who strangled his wife and buried her body in cement in the basement of their home told his sentencing hearing that he let “fear overwhelm his sense of right.” Allan Shyback, 40, was found guilty of manslaughter last spring in the 2012 death of his wife Lisa Mitchell in the couple’s Calgary home. Crown prosecutor Jayme Williams recommended Shyback serve 10 years for manslaughter and an additional three to five years for concealing her body in the home they shared with their children.———DROP DEMAND FOR VICE MATERIALS, RCMP URGED: A Canadian news outlet at the centre of a closely watched media-freedom case is calling on the RCMP to drop its demand for a journalist’s background materials used for stories on a suspected terrorist, in light of reports that the man is in fact long dead. In a letter to federal prosecutors this week, lawyers for Vice Media say they would abandon their attempt to fight the demand at the Supreme Court of Canada if the RCMP were to drop its production order, which two courts have upheld. The materials in question relate to stories about a Calgary man whom Canadian authorities have charged in absentia with various terrorism-related offences.———WILDFIRE ALERTS LIFTED IN B.C.: For the first time in nearly three months, all wildfire evacuation orders and alerts have been lifted in British Columbia as the province begins to recover from its worst wildfire season on record. The Cariboo Regional District and Thompson-Nicola Regional District say final alerts affecting southern Interior properties have been rescinded. The alerts were lifted as the BC Wildfire Service reported a 1,900-square kilometre blaze that broke out near Ashcroft on July 6 and burned almost 100 kilometres northward is 85 per cent contained.———QUEBEC AMBER ALERT SUSPECT REMAINS IN HOSPITAL: A Superior Court justice has ordered a medical evaluation of a suspect arrested last week after an Amber Alert was issued in Quebec for his six-year-old son. The 41-year-old man was later charged in the slaying of the child’s mother. He has been in an Ottawa hospital since Saturday after what police alleged was a suicide attempt. Justice Martin Castonguay put off the man’s scheduled court appearance until next Wednesday and said he expected a detailed medical report ready by that time.———WIARTON WILLIE DIES AT 13: Wiarton Willie, who drew crowds to Wiarton, Ont., each February for Groundhog Day festivities, died on Friday. According to a news release from the Town of South Bruce Peninsula, the albino groundhog was 13. If Willie saw his shadow, legend held that winter conditions would prevail for another six weeks, whereas failure to do so would mean a quick end to the cold season. A memorial service and procession will be held for the meteorological marmot on Sept. 30.———

Here’s a trip to make your transit ride even more awesome. I know your bag is probably very nice and you care deeply for it, but that doesn’t mean it needs its own seat.”“Those are very nice sneakers, but kind of a horror show on the sole, so get those feet off the seat.

RICHMOND, B.C. – Chiefs and Métis leaders from across Canada have come together to ask the federal government to halt proposed legislation and stop Bill C-48 and Bill C-69.Leaders with the National Coalition of Chiefs have signed two resolutions opposing the Bills, describing the devastating effects for the First Nations to grow economic and developmental opportunities in their traditional territories.“The world needs oil and gas from Canada, but now the federal government is blocking Indigenous communities from building sustainable opportunities to supply it – like we don’t control our traditional territories,” says former Chief of the Nadleh Whut’en, Martin Louie. At the gathering in Richmond, B.C. November 5-6th it was agreed that Indigenous people are tired of being misrepresented as being anti-developmental by special interest groups when Indigenous people view responsible resource development such as oil and gas as a vital part to sustainability and economics within the First Nation communities.“As a past president of Métis Nation of B.C. we fully support responsible resource development and pipelines,” says NCC Executive Committee member and regional director of the Métis Nation of B.C., Bruce Dumont. “The Indigenous people here today look at resource development in a positive way. We need to think of the environment, but the people also need to be a business partner.”First Nations people have been benefiting from the relationships they are forming with the Canadian oil and gas industry and want the Government of Canada to stop getting in the way by appearing to have the best interest of Indigenous people.In coming weeks the Leaders will deliver a letter directly to Ottawa demanding Bill C-48 be stopped and allow tankers to the north coast and changes are made to Bill C-69 the assessment to major development projects.
Rabat – A total of 9,125 officials from the Ministry of National Education, Vocational Training, Higher Education and Scientific Research retired in October, the Moroccan Pension Fund (CMR) declared.The retirement operation was “carried out successfully,” said the CMR in a statement.The fund allocated 9,125 new pensions to the retired officials, including 6,167 pensions for the fully retired (96 percent of the total full retirement cases received by the CMR). 2,958 of early retirement pension requests were also allocated by the fund, representing a rate of 98 percent of cases of this kind received.The fund indicated that the operation is of “great importance,” particularly since most ministry employees retired at the end of the school year, creating an annual challenge for the fund, which must allocate pensions for retired teachers and professors on the month following their retirement.Postponing RetirementOn September 2014, the parliament passed a new bill to increase the retirement age of the educational sector’s employees to 65. The new law came into effect on August 2, and requires primary and secondary teachers who are already 60 to keep teaching, rather than being referred for retirement.And now, to obtain early retirement from their positions, teachers and professors must have at least 30 years of active service, revealed the Ministry of Education and Vocational Training on October 4.With the aim of laying the ground for “appropriate conditions” for the start of the 2018-2019 academic year, the ministry announced the new criteria for early retirement, adding that time spent during medical leaves and temporary suspensions are not included.To rectify the lack of educators in the kingdom, the minister of education increased the educational workforce by offering 24,000 teaching positions for the 2017-2018 academic year. While the Ministry of Education recruited lately 11,000 teachers in order.

57 mesures pour éviter que le scandale du Mediator ne se reproduiseLa revue indépendante Prescrire (lien non disponible) vient de publier 57 mesures concrètes qui pourraient éviter qu’un autre scandale du Mediator ne se reproduise.Si la justice n’a pas encore tranché dans l’affaire du Mediator, le médicament commercialisé par les laboratoires Servier est d’ores et déjà accusé d’avoir coûté la vie de 500 à 2.000 personnes en France, sans mentionner les anciens patients aujourd’hui en proie à d’importants problèmes de santé. L’affaire a éclaté alors que plusieurs indices tendent à démontrer que le laboratoire Servier était au courant de la dangerosité de son médicament, sans pour autant retirer le Mediator du marché. Aujourd’hui, pour éviter qu’un tel scandale sanitaire ne se reproduise, la revue Prescrire propose 57 mesures.En premier lieu, la revue demande à ce que les critères de mise sur le marché d’un médicament soient désormais plus exigeants. De plus, elle propose que soient opérés des essais cliniques afin de comparer les nouveaux produits aux anciens déjà sur le marché. Prescrire réclame également que la formation des professionnels de santé sur les médicaments soit désormais financée de façon publique et non pas par l’industrie pharmaceutique. Une plus grande “transparence générale des agences et autres institutions compétentes en matière de médicament” a également été réclamée, ainsi que des pictogrammes sur les boîtes des produits sous surveillance.

Loppsi 2 : le Conseil constitutionnel autorise le filtrage administratif d’InternetLe Conseil constitutionnel a censuré hier soir treize dispositions de la Loppsi 2. L’article 4, sur le filtrage des sites pédopornographiques, a quant à lui été validé passant outre les polémiques. Désormais, une autorité administrative sera autorisée à filtrer ces sites sans intervention d’un juge.Le Conseil a rendu son verdict sur la Loi d’orientation et de programmation pour la performance de la sécurité intérieure, dite Loppsi 2. Parmi les 142 dispositions examinées, deux concernent particulièrement Internet : l’article 53 sur la revente en ligne de billets d’entrée à des manifestations dans l’objectif de tirer des bénéfices, et l’article 4 sur le filtrage de sites pédopornographiques par une autorité administrative. À lire aussiLe World Wide Web a 30 ans : devons-nous nous inquiéter de son évolution ?Cependant si pour les sages, l’article 53 a été censuré, considéré comme une atteinte au droit de propriété, l’article 4 a reçu à son égard plus de clémence et est passé sans encombre. La disposition permet désormais à l’Office central de lutte contre la criminalité liée aux technologies de l’information et de la communication (OCLCTIC) d’imposer le blocage d’un site, et ce sans passer par une autorité judiciaire. Cette loi s’applique dans le cadre de la lutte contre la diffusion d’images pornographiques de mineurs.L’article avait déjà été vivement critiqué par les internautes qui dénonçaient de possibles dérives vers des censures au-delà des sites pédopornographiques. La Quadrature du Net, organisation de défense des droits et libertés des citoyens sur Internet, s’avère scandalisée. Son porte-parole Jérémie Zimmermann, déclare dans un communiqué : “Cette décision sur l’article 4 est une grande déception. Il est évident que la censure d’Internet ne résoudra rien à la pédopornographie, comme en témoignent les expériences menées à l’étranger. Après les mesures de suspension de l’accès à Internet de la loi Hadopi, les appels à l’interdiction de l’hébergement de WikiLeaks et les discours contraires à la neutralité du Net, la France glisse un peu plus dans le camp des pays hostiles à l’Internet libre en instaurant la censure administrative du Net”.Le 11 mars 2011 à 15:52 • Emmanuel Perrin

I have done this and now I want to offer the same apology to the fans.“I will learn from this episode and will accept any punishment or discipline the club decides is appropriate.”

The ATR 70-seater aircraft is poised to be assessed for damage by engineers who are on their way to The Bahamas.The F0 knocked the plane off of its landing gear in winds which were between 40 and 70mph, and Chairman of Bahamasair, Valentine Grimes said because it is a relatively slow season, the flight schedule was not greatly impacted. Grimes said the National Flag Carrier was able to shift flights around to make up for the loss of the new plane.The Deputy Prime Minister, whose house was also struck by the tornado assured that the Bahamasair plane is insured. Though there were some cosmetic damages to the airport and even a loss of power in some parts of the LPIA, the Nassau Airport Development Company said operations were unaffected by the freak tornado.#MagneticMediaNews#Cumulonimbusdidit#TornadoatNassauAirport#LyndenPindlingAirportTornado Facebook Twitter Google+LinkedInPinterestWhatsApp Department defends, Why No tornado Warning
Outside magazine has scaled back Outside Go, its two-year-old spin-off for affluent men, to twice-yearly frequency beginning in 2009, its publisher was expected to announce late Friday. As a result, at least four staffers were let go.The bimonthly magazine had launched in 2007 as a quarterly, and increased to six times earlier this year. It had a circulation of about 212,500 in 2008 and was planning an increase to 235,000 next year.Mariah Media, Outside’s Sante Fe-based publisher, said it is “fully committed to the brand” and hopes to weather the economic storm, resuming bimonthly frequency when the economy improves. The news comes as publishers across the industry are taking a hard look at their portfolios—particularly spin-offs of flagship brands—in the face of a pronounced economic crisis.Also on Friday, Time Inc. folded SI Latina, a three-year-old, 500,000-circ Spanish-language spin-off of Sports Illustrated. “The major culprit here was the auto industry,” a representative for the magazine told Mediaweek. “We fully plan to bring it back when the economy turns around.”
Jessica Cunningham accepts 2015 Milken Educators Award. (Photo by courtesy of Milken Family Foundation.)America’s true unsung heroes work daily to educate youth who shape the future. This is the belief of Lowell Milken, who established the Milken Educator Awards program in 1987 to recognize the outstanding work of early-to-mid career education professionals across the country.Jessica Cunningham, principal of KIPP DC College Preparatory, received this recognition and $25,000 at a ceremony in the school’s newly renovated building in Northeast D.C., on Oct 8. Over the years, much has been said about the woman known as “a franchise quarterback” in the KIPP national network of schools. KIPP stands for Knowledge is Power Program.“She is one of our most incredible school leaders in our KIPP network. She’s been with us since 2003 and has done incredible things for our students as a teacher, as founding principal of KIPP DC Will Academy for our middle schoolers and as the principal of College Prep,” Lindsay Kelly, KIPP DC director of communications and marketing told the AFRO.Under the guise of a ribbon cutting, Cunningham assembled in the school’s gymnasium along with students, teachers, and leaders including D.C. State Superintendent of Education Hanseul Kang and KIPP DC Founder and CEO Susan Schaeffler. After learning the ceremony was in her honor, Cunningham was floored. “I don’t know what to say,” she told the crowd.KIPP Prep is the highest performing open enrollment high school in Washington, D.C. It boasts D.C.

She informally mentors several school leaders around the country and coaches KIPP national administrators.Not only has she garnered respect from colleagues, but from students as she’s known for speaking the truth, instilling accountability, and providing productive feedback. “She spoke to me about expectations,” says Andrew Kingsbury, a first year transfer student at Prep. “I already see a difference in my grades.”While Cunningham’s work is quite extensive, the award is not an accolade for “lifetime achievement,” said Milken. Instead, it is for the promise of what she will accomplish in the future.
