During the American war, Ho was only responding to American actions. When the Americans began to intervene by sending in military advisers in the early 1960s, Ho convened the Politburo and said we now had to send our military cadres, weapons and ammunition to the South and that we had to improve the small Ho Chi Minh Trail network. We began widening it step by step. At first, our troops carried their weapons, ammunition and supplies on their backs and on bicycles down a narrow trail....
The advert, which Hobby Lobby ran in newspapers on Independence Day, was titled “One Nation Under God,” and included the Bible verse “Blessed is the Nation whose God is the lord,” as the company also posted about its campaign on its social media pages. Hobby Lobby quoted former presidents who signed the Declaration of Independence in 1776 in its campaign, including George Washington, but the Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF) reported that the company had altered the quotes without providing the full context....
“Way to go Paul,” indeed. More like Paul … Bunyan? Does that work? Maybe. Paul Bunyan was strong — and also mythical. And now we have some context, courtesy of the York Daily Record. It all went down over the weekend at a youth tournament in the Pennsylvania town at a rink owned by York Revolution, an independent minor-league baseball team.

HELEN MIRREN: My parents were very against the idea, so I trained as a teacher for three years. I was a horrible, really bad teacher. I didn’t become a professional actress until I was about 22. FOREST WHITAKER: My parents really wanted me to go to West Point–something practical like that. Ten years into my acting career they were still trying to get me to go back to school.

Global Times, a Communist Party mouthpiece which often uses its editorials to broadcast the more belligerent and nationalistic sentiment within the regime, said Tuesday that the protester shot on Monday was to blame for the incident, describing the victim as a “thug.” The newspaper condemned the “frenzied thugs” who clashed with police as they were attempting to clear roadblocks in the northeastern area of Sai Wan Ho. As one officer grappled with several protesters, he pulled out his gun and shot one activist in the abdomen at point blank range....
City leaders said they intend to sue Chevron, Shell, Exxon Mobil, BP, the BHP Group, ConocoPhillips, Marathon (formerly Tesoro), and Aloha Petroleum. “The evidence is piling up that just as big tobacco misled the public and policymakers about the danger of smoking, big oil waged a decades-long deception campaign and covered up the origins of today’s climate crisis,” Mayor Kirk Caldwell said. “The people of O’ahu expect government to stand up against those who knowingly harm others for financial gain, and that’s exactly what we intend to do....
But after four seasons in the Nationwide Series, Hornish has landed another Cup ride in a story of perseverance and maybe some long-awaited fortune. The 35-year-old Hornish will drive the No. 9 car for Richard Petty Motorsports next season as the replacement for Marcos Ambrose, who decided he’d rather race in his native Australia rather than try to continue to grind out a career in NASCAR. “At the end of 2010, I don’t know that it would have been beneficial for me to have a full‑time Cup ride in 2011 because I’ve worked so hard to try to keep my head above water, and I really wasn’t in a good spot as far as confidence goes,” Hornish said....

Its proponents claim it allows mentally impaired patients who cannot speak-particularly those diagnosed as autistic-to type their innermost thoughts on a screen or page when someone gently supports one of their hands, elbows or shoulders.
