[NYPOST] A Miami doctor, whose actions were widely ridiculed after a video surfaced three months ago of her having a meltdown after an incident with an Uber driver, was fired Friday.
The Miami Herald reported that Jackson Health System officials released a statement saying that fourth-year neurology resident Anjali Ramkissoon would be terminated. She was placed on administrative leave in January after the video of her tantrum surfaced.
On the video Ramkissoon, wearing white shorts and an orange shirt, slaps the Uber driver and kicks him in the groin.

Proposals are not always flowery:
"My dearest," and then, for an hour, he
Sat, still and silent,
Till passion ran violent:
"I might... for a big enough dowry!"
[Iran Press TV] North Korea says it will stop its nuclear tests on the condition that the US halts its annual military exercises with South Korea.
"It is really crucial for the United States government to withdraw its hostile policy against the DPRK and as an expression of this stop the military exercises, war exercises, in the Korean Peninsula. Then we will respond likewise," said North Korean Foreign Minister Ri Su-yong in an interview with the News Agency that Dare Not be Named in New York on Saturday.
He added that if the exercises stop "for some period, for some years...new opportunities may arise for the two countries and for the entire world as well."
In March, the US and South Korea began massive war games involving more than 17,000 American and 300,000 South Korean troops, with warships and aircraft carrying out live-fire drills in the region.

...Oh, that's easy: keep up the exercises, run the place on a wartime basis 24/7. He'll run out of bombs long before we run out of supplies and money.
Then whack his overweight, megalomaniacal little a$$ into the garbage where it belongs, and walk away.

North Korea has fired what is believed to be a submarine-launched ballistic missile off the east coast of the Korean peninsula, the South Korean Joint Chiefs of Staff said Saturday.
So they launched an SLBM, but not necessarily from a sub...
The missile was fired at 6:30 p.m. local time (5:30 a.m. ET), South Korean officials said, and appears to have flown for about 30 km (about 19 miles) -- well short of the 300 km (roughly 186 miles) that would be considered a successful test.
The action comes a week after an apparently unsuccessful attempt to fire a missile, South Korean and U.S. officials said April 15.

Of course Seoul is only @35 miles from the DMZ and less from the coast.

...The good news here - such as it is - is that it's overwhelmingly likely that this was a one-off missile from a one-off, highly modified boat...and the only boats he's got are sufficiently old and noisy that they could be heard in Virginia Beach by a deaf, retired sonarman standing next to I-64 at rush hour using two Quaker Oats cans tied together with string.
The bad news is that this is something of a game changer - if he can put even one tube to sea, and we lose track of it (highly unlikely, but within the realm of possibility) he could start making demands, which would leave us in a situation that would make even Tom Clancy, may God rest his soul, look up and say, "Dude..."

Let's sing of the loss of the Pudgeon,
The bludgeon of Juche's curmudgeon:
'Twas manned by his slaves
Who went glad to their graves
To escape from his landlubbin' dungeon.
And God rest the men of the Gudgeon. 72 years (can that be right?) last week.
[NYPost] The New York Times Co. is preparing to lay off a few hundred staffers in the second half of the year, The Post has learned.
Chairman and Publisher Arthur "Pinch" Sulzberger Jr.'s management team has been talking with some of the Times' unions to come to a deal to provide reduced severance to those affected, sources told The Post.
And if they don't reach an agreement, Pinchy will just fire them...
"There's a goal of a couple of hundred people," said a source familiar with talks. "They don't want to pay out big packages, and they're having negotiations with the unions." NY Elites: Friend of the Worker

When the news is made and full of lies, rather than true investigative journalism, you don't need that many people...

Poor Pinch. Such decisions are weighty.
His car splashes past a gray lady.
The corner, the whoring,
The stories so boring...
Pretending it's still 1980.

The last time the NYT got pay concessions from a union under their purview, Pinchy & Janet Robinson (then CEO) rewarded themselves with huge pay increases. I'm expecting a similar backstabbing this time around.

Marty: The last time Tap toured America, they where, uh, booked into 10,000 seat arenas, and 15,000 seat venues, and it seems that now, on their current tour they're being booked into 1,200 seat arenas, 1,500 seat arenas, and uh I was just wondering, does this mean uh...the popularity of the group is waning?
Ian: Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no...no, no, not at all. I, I, I just think that the.. uh.. their appeal is becoming more selective.
[BLOOMBERG] As the average age of farmers globally creeps higher and retirement looms, Japan has a solution: robots and driver-less tractors.
The Group-of-Seven agriculture ministers meet in Japan’s northern prefecture of Niigata this weekend for the first time in seven years to discuss how to meet increasing food demand as aging farmers retire without successors. With the average age of Japanese farmers now 67, Agriculture Minister Hiroshi Moriyama will outline his idea of replacing retiring growers with Japanese-developed autonomous tractors and backpack-carried robots.
U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack has warned that left unchecked, aging farmers could threaten the ability to produce the food the world needs. The average age of growers in developed countries is now about 60, according to the United Nations ...an organization originally established to war on dictatorships which was promptly infiltrated by dictatorships and is now held in thrall to dictatorships... . Japan plans to spend 4 billion yen ($36 million) in the year through March to promote farm automation and help develop 20 different types of robots, including one that separates over-ripe peaches when harvesting.
"There are no other options for farmers but to rely on technologies developed by companies if they want to raise productivity while they are graying," said Makiko Tsugata, senior analyst at Mizuho Securities Co. in Tokyo. "The government should help them adopt new technologies."

The robots sent into Fukushima haven't worked that well. So, will the workers in farms near it need to be older people who will die of old age before cancer?
#2
If we cut to the chase, the next generation of all Japanese can be robots.
I have tried talking to the Pope about the coming of Robo-Jesus and The Word Made Silicon, but he just ignores my emails. Don't think he is that into robotic outreach.
[DAWN] KARACHI: Two personnel of the Police Qaumi Razakar (PQR) were jugged Drop the heater, Studs, or you're hist'try! by the Korangi Industrial Area police over the allegation of rape, officials said on Friday.
Landhi SP Afnan Amin told Dawn that the police had apprehended the PQR personnel and registered an FIR against them for rape on the complaint of a girl. He added that they had given a letter to the girl and sent her for a medical examination at the Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre and further legal action would be taken in the light of the doctors’ report.
Additional police surgeon Dr Kaleem Sheikh told Dawn that a woman medico-legal officer had examined the girl aged around 18 years.
The police surgeon said that the report had been reserved for the chemical examination.
The Korangi Industrial Area police officer said that an FIR (384/2016) had been registered against the PQR personnel under Sections 376 (punishment for rape) and 34 (common intention) of the Pakistain Penal Code.
The girl in her statement stated that she was travelling in a rickshaw on Thursday night when the Police Qaumi Razakars, whose uniform looked like that of regular police uniform, intercepted her rickshaw near the Qayyumabad ...a suburb of Korangi Town, if you know where that is... roundabout at around 11pm.
The PQR personnel, according to the girl, took her to the riverbed in Qayyumabad where they allegedly subjected her to sexual assaults.
She informed the police personnel present at the Qayyumabad checkpoint about the incident, who detained the suspects.

[DAWN] Evacuee Trust Property Board (ETPB) Chairman Siddiqul Farooq says that board owns no commercial property in Balochistan ...the Pak province bordering Kandahar and Uruzgun provinces in Afghanistan and Sistan Baluchistan in Iran. Its native Baloch propulation is being displaced by Pashtuns and Punjabis and they aren't happy about it... , as its all land in the province had been sold by its two former heads, who also were retired military generals, during the Musharraf rule.
He told Dawn the two retired military generals had declared the land as "unmanageable" during their tenures.
"In Balochistan, the ETPB had the commercial property worth billions on Jinnah Road in Quetta which was sold during the regimes of two retired generals," he said.
"Their act caused a huge financial loss to the ETPB."
He said it was shocking to know that trust’s commercial property had been sold illegally by declaring it "unmanageable".
"You know the rates of commercial property in Quetta: Rs250,000 per squre feet."
He said board members in a meeting had given a go-ahead to the administration to seek the help of chief ministers in Punjab, Sindh and Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa ... formerly NWFP, still Terrorism Central... (KP) to get retrieved trust-owned 9,000 fertile acres from the land grabbers. He said approximately over 4,000 acres of the ETPB were under unlawful possession in Sindh, over 5,000 acres in Punjab 1.) Little Orphan Annie's bodyguard
2.) A province of Pakistain ruled by one of the Sharif brothers
3.) A province of India. It is majority (60 percent) Sikh and Hindoo (37 percent), which means it has relatively few Moslem riots.... and 200 to 300 acres in thee KP.
"I don’t have the detail of commercial property occupied illegally in these three provinces. Also, I don’t have information about the detail of the commercial property sold out in Quetta," he explained.
Earlier, after board’s 299th meeting, he told news hounds the participants had passed a resolution, condemning land mafia occupying ETPB’s land.
