[Dallas News] A Dallas woman who ended up comatose and on life support after trying to get a nose job in Mexico has died, according to a family member.
Laura Avila, 36, died about 8:20 a.m. Saturday, Angie Avila said in a Facebook post in which she called her sister the love of her life.
"My heart aches, and I truly don't know how or if I'll ever overcome this pain," she wrote. "What I do know is that I am beyond lucky to have had the chance to be her sister for 25 wonderful years."
Avila, a real estate agent, had traveled to Ciudad Juarez last month for plastic surgery. Her procedure was less than one-third of the price the Dallas real estate agent could find at home, her family said.
But on Oct. 30, after receiving anesthesia at RinoCenter, it was clear something was wrong, and Avila lapsed into a coma.
"Only after Avila’s family paid the hospital bill in full in Mexico did her doctors grant her transfer to a hospital in El Paso, her family said on GoFundMe. They hired lawyers in Juarez to get Laura’s full medical records."

[PJMedia] Just when you thought it would be impossible to top the return of 4chan's "He Will Not Divide Us" live-action game of capture the flag with Shia LaBeouf, they've found a new hobby: Reporting tax fraud by THOTs to the IRS.
For the newspeak uninitiated, THOT is an acronym for "That Ho Over There," usually used to refer to loose women. The Urban Dictionary has a more detailed definition.
(Noun) An individual with a number of concurrent sex partners that is well above the established cultural norm. These individuals have coitus for the purpose of sexual pleasure, approval, or to fullfill an emotional void. These individuals may or may not have sexually transmitted infections however this term is still applies to whores with safe sex practices. These acts are not for the exchange for illicit narcotics or monetary/ economic gain as observed in prostitutes, crackheads, junkies, or gold diggers. (It is important to note that ones sexual indiscretions must be well known within the community in order for ones "thot" status to be identifiable).
It seems that THOTs on Snapchat and other platforms are using PayPal to charge men to see "premium snaps," which are nudes or pornography. It's also possible that these ladies of social media are not reporting their earnings to the IRS. In an effort that can only be described as hilarious, the anons at 4chan have launched a full-scale war on THOTs across all platforms. Women who fish for lonely and susceptible beta boys are the bane of many gamers, whose platforms are being taken over by the sex trollers. These women solicit in male-dominated platforms and many of the men who use the platforms are sick of it. Lots of links and video hilarity at link.

Good. It’s time they stopped putting up with that nonsense where they are seriously playing. If they want pr0stitues, they can go find them, just like anyone else.
[Express] UKRAINE’s President has said he will propose his country’s parliament should declare martial law in response to Russia’s seizure of three Ukrainian ships, as tensions between the two countries continue to rapidly rise.
President Petro Poroshenko said he will ask Ukrainian parliament to declare martial law after the Russian military attacked and seized three of the Ukrainian navy’s ships in the black sea. He said they would decide on Monday whether or not to approve martial law. If martial law is approved, then it would restrict civil liberties and give the government more power.
[PJ] Patents recently issued to Google provide a window into their development activities. While it’s no guarantee of a future product, it is a sure indication of what’s of interest to them. What we’ve given up in privacy to Google, Facebook, and others thus far is minuscule compared to what is coming if these companies get their way.
These patents tell us that Google is developing smart-home products that are capable of eavesdropping on us throughout our home in order to learn more about us and better target us with advertising. It goes much further than the current Google Home speaker that’s promoted to answer our questions and provide useful information, and the Google-owned Nest thermostat that measures environmental conditions in our home. What the patents describe are sensors and cameras mounted in every room to follow us and analyze what we’re doing throughout our home.
They describe how the cameras can even recognize the image of a movie star’s image on a resident’s t-shirt, connect it to the person’s browsing history, and send the person an ad for a new movie the star is in.
One patent, No. 10,114,351, reads, "According to embodiments of this disclosure, a smart-home environment may be provided with smart-device environment policies that use smart-devices to monitor activities within a smart-device environment, report on these activities, and/or provide smart-device control based upon these activities."
So clearly they want to monitor us and report back what we are doing.
It goes on to describe an example in the usual patent legalese. But it’s worth providing here the exact description for you to see, in particular, the last sentence:

This seems eminently hackable. I can foresee misbehaving childbots and all sorts of other stuff polluting gurgle's master plan to monetize everything.

In the late 60's the the science fiction author Mack Reynolds had the dystopian 'Joe Mauser Mercenary' series where society had "share-holders" and common "Citizens". The latter had to carry a government issued communicator in public -- at home it was a common practice to put the listening device communicator in a metal lined Faraday Cage.... Just saying.
[DAWN] District Police Officer (DPO) Abdul Ghaffar Qaisarani has suspended from service Assistant Sub-Inspector (ASI) Tariq Mehmood of Qila Kalarwala police for allegedly dragging three women out of their house with their hair and torturing them for not producing a wanted proclaimed offender (PO) to police.
CCTV footage of the incident went viral on social media and Inspector General of Police (IGP) Amjad Javed Saleemi had taken notice of it.
A police team from Qila Kalarwala cop shoppe in Pasrur tehsil, led by the suspected ASI, raided a house in Dheera Sandha village to arrest the PO, but was unable to find him. The team forced their entry into the house and dragged out three women of a family from their hair, beating and abusing them, while the entire incident was captured by CCTV cameras.
Crimes Investigation Agency Deputy Superintendent of Police Sheikh Shahid Ikram conducted an inquiry and found the suspected police team guilty. The DPO also ordered strict departmental action against the suspended ASI.

[DAWN] Shadman police has registered a rape case against unidentified employees of Service Hospital for allegedly raping a patient.
According to the first information report filed by the 35-year-old woman, she had gone to the Services Hospital after feeling pain in her lower abdomen. She was admitted to the woman’s surgical ward-II on Nov 23 and taken to the operating theatre for surgery at 7:30am the next morning after being administered with anaesthesia.
She said after the surgery she was discharged the same day at 7pm, but later felt pain and started bleeding from her urinary tract. She said her sister took her to Sheikh Zayed Hospital where she was told that she had been raped.
She lodged a complaint at the Shadman cop shoppe stating that she had been raped by the hospital employees during surgery. Police registered a rape case against the employees of Services Hospital.
Model Town Superintendent of Police Ali Waseem Nasir told Dawn that a medical examination of the woman had been conducted and the samples sent to the forensic science agency. The test report would decide the course of investigation and determine whether the woman had been raped or not.
Talking to the media, the Services Hospital principal said the institute had initiated an inquiry of its own also.

What are they going to do about the continuing occupation of northern Cyprus? About Turkey's territorial claims to the the Eastern Mediterranean and anything else the Grand Caliph of Istanbul casts his covetous eyes upon?
[Independent] The Catholic Church’s global organisation of nuns has denounced the "culture of silence and secrecy" surrounding sexual abuse in the church.
The International Union of Superiors General, which represents more than 500,000 sisters worldwide, urged nuns who have been abused to report the crimes to police and their superiors.
The group vowed to help nuns who have been abused to find the courage to report it, and pledged to help victims heal and seek justice.
The statement, issued on the eve of the UN-designated International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, was the first from the Rome-based UISG since the abuse scandal erupted anew this year and as the sexual abuse of adult nuns by clergymen has also come to light.
A new paper in the Nov. 21 Science Robotics sheds new light on how robots could take a more human approach in the future.
Chemical engineer and Stanford professor Zhenan Bao and her team at Bao Labs have developed an electronic glove with sensors designed to give robotic hands a sense of touch -- theoretically enabling a human degree of coordination and pressure sensitivity.
"This technology puts us on a path to one day giving robots the sort of sensing capabilities found in human skin," Bao said in a statement.
The gloves achieve this effect by simultaneously measuring the intensity and direction of pressure -- and demonstrated a capability of touching and handling berries and pingpong balls without destroying them.
[OpsLens] Traditionally, we trusted police officers. For evidentiary purposes we dash-mounted in-car audio/video cameras (great tool to capture actual footage of sobriety tests and police pursuits). Ferguson, Missouri received plenty of attention and ample second-guessing on police procedure from folks who knew zilch about the subject matter. More cops were second-guessed, their every move picked apart like a rank carcass, until the media-mesmerized buzzards circled elsewhere. From cop to cop they went. Then body-worn audio/video cameras hit the market and law enforcement agencies phased them in (cost prohibitive all at once). Nevertheless, debasing the police profession continued and the out-of-control, media-lit powder-keg continued to spark anti-cop, anti-law and order, anti-respect, and anti-critical thinking skills, automatically defaulting to every cop does everything wrong.
[DAWN] President Maithripala Sirisena on Sunday reignited the power struggle that has crippled Sri Lanka’s government for more than a month, vowing never to reappoint arch-rival Ranil Wickremesinghe as prime minister.
Wickremesinghe’s party has a majority in parliament and Sirisena’s bid to replace him with the country’s former strongman Mahinda Rajapakse has already failed.
But Sirisena choked back tears in a meeting with foreign correspondents as he accused Wickremesinghe, who he sacked on Oct 26, of being "highly corrupt".
"Even if the UNP has the majority I told them not to bring Ranil Wickremesinghe before me, I will not make him prime minister," he said, referring to Wickremesinghe’s United National Party.
"Not in my lifetime," he added in comments that the UNP said showed the president uses Sri Lanka like his own "private coconut estate".
Sirisena dismissed Wickremesinghe following a host of personality and political festivities since they formed a coalition in 2015.
He named Rajapakse as new premier and tried to dissolve parliament but the Supreme Court and politicians blocked the moves.
Wickremesinghe, who continues to occupy the prime minister’s residence, and Rajapakse, who has the premier’s official offices, have both refused to back down.
