-Lurid Crime Tales-
San Antonio: Eight Illegal Immigrants Found Dead in Tractor Trailer
[Breitbart] Police in San Antonio discovered eight illegal aliens in a tractor trailer parked in a Walmart parking lot early Sunday morning. Approximately 20 persons were in "extremely critical" or "very serious" condition.

The air conditioner was not working in the trailer. Many of those found had heart rates of over 130 beats per minute and suffered from heat stroke. More causalities are expected, officials stated. Thirty-eight people were in the trailer. Two of those were school age children. In total, police found 38 people in and around the trailer.

Police apprehended the driver of the truck at the scene.

Walmart employees become aware of the situation after one of the aliens approached them and asked for water. Police arrived at the scene shortly after midnight Sunday morning, KENS5 reported. At least 29 fire rescue units arrived at the scene and two AirLIFE helicopters assisted in transporting the most critically ill patients.

Others in the trailer survived long enough to be rescued and taken to a local hospital. Those included two 15-year-old juveniles.

#4  This is commonly called the Mexican Winnebago. Unfortunately the driver is separated from the passengers and even if he does hear them he is supposed to act like he doesn't hear anything.

One Sunday morning I went in to the office and saw what turned out to be a Mexican Winnebago pull in behind the office building in the back parking lot. The driver gets out of the cab and goes and opens the doors of the 18 wheeler trailer and it seemed like a hundred people poured out followed by huge amounts of clothes and belongings they brought with them. All morning people were pulling in to pick up the occupants and then around noon the Mexican Winnebago was gone and everything was like Sunday again.

When I drove past, there was the trailer with a flat, a local police car with the two guys cuffed bent over the trunk, three State Police suburbans and 18 folks sitting on the guard rail.

City negotiating contract to provide air conditioning units to St. Louis jail
ST. LOUIS, Mo. (KMOV.com) - After hearing the cries of inmates at the St. Louis Medium Security Institution, also known as the Workhouse, the City of St. Louis is negotiating a one-month contract to provide air conditioning to the facility.

During the days of extreme heat in St. Louis, officials said they developed a heat safety plan for the inmates by having cooling stations and round-the-clock medical help in case there are any heat-related illnesses.

Thursday, Aldermanic President Lewis Reed said he had started seeking emergency cooling options for the Workhouse. But the expense would come from city emergency funds.

On Friday, Reed said the city of St. Louis is working on a deal to provide air conditioning units for the facility that will cost $5,500 a month. The city is negotiating a one-month contract with Temp-Air to provide air conditioning to the facility and could budget to $40,000 for the units.

Meanwhile, local activists and organizers have launched a national fundraising effort to bail out as many people as possible from the jail. Local organizations St. Louis Action Council, Arch City Defenders and the National Bail Out Fund are leading the effort.

-Short Attention Span Theater-
Homeless camp moves onto Raiders stadium site in Las Vegas
[Las Vegas Review Journal] The Oakland Raiders haven’t started building their stadium in Las Vegas, but there’s already some activity at the project site.

A homeless encampment has taken shape on the football team’s land. The cluster of property and trash is below a billboard off Dean Martin Drive that, as of last week, advertised a garage-door company on one side and singer Mariah Carey’s performances at Caesars Palace on the other.

At the encampment, a mattress was lying on one or two wooden pallets and covered with belongings. A shopping cart, buckets, empty cups and water bottles, a toolbox and other items also were strewn about.

A handwritten sign there was partially covered from view but mentioned food, water and supplies.

"Anything you can spare is a blessing," the sign said.

Nobody was seen there Monday morning, but two people were there at least at one point last week.

A Raiders spokesperson could not be reached for comment Monday.

Africa Subsaharan
South Sudan: Govt Blocks Access to Independent Websites
[All Africa] Internet and mobile phone users in South Sudan are not able to access the websites of at least four independent media outlets. The government has grown increasingly hostile to the media since civil war began in 2013.

The South Sudanese government has blocked access to the websites of Dutch-backed Radio Tamazuj, as well as the popular news blogs Nyamilepedia and Paanluel Wel. Internet users said that the website of the Gay Paree-based Sudan Tribune was also affected on some mobile phone and Wi-Fi networks.

Radio Tamazuj and the Sudan Tribune are reputable sites which have been critical in their coverage of South Sudan's government, which has grown increasingly hostile towards the media since civil war broke out in 2013.

The government is justified in blocking the websites to protect citizens from outlets that "disseminate subversive material," South Sudan's Minister of Authorities Michael Makuei Lueth told the US-based Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ).

The bans would not be lifted until "those institutions behave well," he told CPJ.

"Censoring news and intimidating journalists is becoming increasingly common in South Sudan," said CPJ Deputy Executive Director Robert Mahoney. "The government should immediately unblock all news sites and blogs."

Radio Tamazuj said its shortwave broadcasts can still be heard.

Zimbabwe: 'Kick Them, Punish Them' - Mugabe's Call for Violence 'Worrying'
[All Africa] Zim-bob-wean President Bob Muggsy Mugabe
Octogenarian President-for-Life of Zim-bob-we who turned the former Breadbasket of Africa into the African Basket Case...
, 93, says his Zanu-PF supporters should beat-up people going around perpetrating violence using the ruling party's name.

Mugabe told his Zanu-PF supporters at a youth rally in Lupane on Friday that it had been brought to his attention that they were people causing violence around the country and claiming to belong to his ruling party.

"I am aware they are people causing violence saying they are from Zanu-PF," said Mugabe.

"If you see people being violent, seize them, come on. Hold them, kick them, punish them. Then call the police later," he said.

Mugabe, who analysts said was already in the last phase of his campaign for 2018, urged his supporters to meet violence with violence.

The nonagenarian's utterances were seen by many as a clarion call to his storm-troopers to unleash violence against the opposition.

China-Japan-Koreas
Sinpo South Shipyard: Preparations for a New SLBM Test?
[38North.org] Recent media reports indicate that North Korea’s sole SINPO-class experimental ballistic missile submarine (SSBA) has been engaged in "’unusual deployment activity’ over the past 48 hours,"[1] sailing approximately 100-km out into the East Sea (Sea of Japan). If correct, this would be the submarine’s longest known voyage to date. Most previous voyages have been far shorter and within the waters near its home port at the Sinpo South Shipyard. A 100-km voyage would also likely place the submarine in international waters--a first for the vessel. While there are several possible explanations, the most likely is preparations for a test in the near future of an updated Pukguksong-1 (KN-11) submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM) or a potentially newer system.

Commercial satellite imagery from June 30 of the Sinpo South Shipyard shows activity at the facility’s secure boat basin, where both the SINPO-class submarine and the submersible test stand barge have been repositioned.[2] While the precise reason for this movement is unclear, one possibility is that it may have been long-term preparations for the recently reported voyage or an upcoming missile test.

Activity at Secure Boat Basin
Imagery from June 30 indicates that the SINPO-class submarine was repositioned forward along the dock and the submersible test stand barge was moved from its position along the south pier enclosing the boat basin and berthed along the dock aft of the submarine. Both had been in their former positions since December 9, 2016. The June image also showed that the equipment previously positioned on the deck of the submarine, aft of the conning tower, were no longer present, suggesting that ongoing repair or modification work had been completed. A number of potential reasons can explain this movement, including long-term preparations for a test of the Pukguksong-1, at-sea deployments of one or both craft during late-May, pre-deployment training and routine maintenance or a combination of these.

#1  It's going to depend on how long a cable they have available to tow back the wreckage after attempting an undersea launch. They want to try it, but they also want the submarine back, or what's left of it.

India-Pakistan
Police arrest culprits after 5-year-old girl married to 22-year-old man near Shikarpur
[DAWN] A five-year-old girl was on Saturday married off to a 22-year-old man at village Raman Shar in the outskirts of Dakhan Town, some 40 kilometres from Shikarpur, before police intervened to arrest key individuals involved, local police said.

According to an official, a special police party headed by SHO Khuda Bakhsh Panhwar raided the ceremony and succeeded in arresting the nikkah khwan, Molvi Kifayatullah Bhutto, 40, the 'groom', Habibullah Shar, and the father of the groom, Gul Meer. The police also took the five-year-old bride, the daughter of Zameer Shar, into custody along with her mother.

According to police sources, the marriage had been solemnised before police reached the place.

Police shifted the accused and the bride to the Dakhan Police Station and later handed them over to Gaheja Police for prosecution under the Early Child Marriages Restraint Act of 2013.

Gaheja Police started the paperwork but haven't done much else against the groom, his parents and the parents of the girl on behalf of the state under Sections 3, 4 and 5 of the Pakistain Penal Code.

Child marriage is a punishable offence in Sindh. According to Child Marriages Restraint Act, a child marriage includes any marriage where one of the contracting parties is less than 18 years of age. Those found guilty of entering into, or facilitating, a child marriage can be sentenced to rigorous punishment for up to three years.

[DAWN] A young man was rubbed out and his wife seriously injured in an attack by unknown individuals in Bloody Karachi

National Weather Service cancels its union contract
In what could be the first major labor showdown of the Trump administration, the National Weather Service announced it will cancel its contract with the union representing about 3,800 of its meteorologists and other workers.

The federal agency said it's a somewhat routine move to restart negotiations, but the union called it a bizarre surprise.

An outside expert, University of California labor law professor David Rosenfeld, called it "a shot across the bow of the union."
Trump effect? Or message to Federal Unions in general?
Weather Service deputy director Mary Erickson said terminating the 16-year-old contract is the next step in the negotiating process. In 2015, the agency sent a notice to the union that it intended to do this.

She said it is not about cutting jobs.

"Our intent is to get a stronger, newer more modern agreement in place," Erickson said.

Union president Daniel Sobien said the move blindsided his group, which has already enlisted a mediator.

"Honest to God, I don't understand why they did this; it makes no sense," Sobien said. "To my knowledge it's never been done before. To my knowledge it violates our agreement."

Why the Navy's newest aircraft carrier has no urinals
[Navy Times] The new aircraft carrier Gerald R. Ford has all sorts of high-tech gear equipped for 21st century naval warfare. But there is one thing that male sailors will notice is no longer available: Urinals.

For the first time, every bathroom on the Ford -- known throughout military circles as a head -- is designed to be "gender-neutral," meaning all of the urinals have been replaced with flush toilets and stalls, Navy officials say.

The vast majority of the 5,000-plus sailors who will deploy aboard the carrier Ford are men, as women account for only about 18 percent of sailors in the Navy.

Bathroom design experts say water closets with seated toilets are less sanitary and take up far more space than wall-mounted urinals.

Nevertheless, the Navy says there are advantages to eliminating urinals.

It will allow the Navy to quickly and efficiently change a head’s assigned gender, so depending on the ship’s demographics at the time, berthing areas can be switched between male and female to accommodate the crew’s needs.

"This is designed to give the ship flexibility because there aren’t any berthing areas that are dedicated to one sex or the other," Operations Specialist 1st Class Kaylea Motsenbocker told Navy Times recently.
