Denmark's Supreme Court revokes citizenship in terror case [Ynet] Denmark's Supreme Court has upheld a lower court ruling to revoke the Danish citizenship of a Moroccan-born dual national who was convicted of instigating and promoting terrorism.

| #5 Heh. Through various associations, but I think especially the school district, anytime the weather does something my phone turns into a high frequency vibrating flour sifter. Makes me want to go for the batteries or framing hammer. |

| #4 I'd bet that the alert was an Integrated Public Alert & Warning System. I don't think you can disable those. There are several types including Amber alerts. |

| #2 Last night, whle driving home from a date with Mr. Wife, my phone went off with an entirely new sound -- very attention-getting. It signalled an advisory from the police for those in Deerfield Township to shelter in place while the police dealt with a problem. It turns out that a domestic violence call had gone sideways -- a deputy and civilian were shot -- and a massive manhunt for the escaped shooter was underway. They caught him at 4:30 this morning. I had no idea my phone did that. I'd long since downloaded an app to give me weather warnings from one of the local news stations, but this was something else, and I'm very glad I got it. |
