Muslim Employee Threatens Costco with Lawsuit Because They Sell Pork, How They Responded? Epic

In America everyone has the right to practice whichever religion they decide. And for Jean Camara, Islam was his religion. And Muslims don’t eat pork. Even though he knew that Costco sells alcohol and pork products in their stores, Camara applied for a job at the store. But when he was assigned to manage the pork conveyor belt, he refused on this basis of his religion. Costco understood his complaint and promptly transferred him to another department. Instead of working with pork, Camara would collect the shopping carts in the parking lot and bring them back to the store. But Camara wasn’t happy with the job pushing carts. He saw it as a demotion even though he had been the one ...
Robert Conquest’s Three Laws of Politics

Isegoria From the ancient Greek for equality in freedom of speech; an eclectic mix of thoughts, large and small Robert Conquest’s Three Laws of Politics: Everyone is conservative about what he knows best. Any organization not explicitly right-wing sooner or later becomes left-wing. The simplest way to explain the behavior of any bureaucratic organization is to assume that it is controlled by a cabal of its enemies. John Derbyshire adds this: Of the Second Law, Conquest gave the Church of England and Amnesty International as examples. Of the Third, he noted that a bureaucracy sometimes actually is controlled by a secret cabal of its enemies — e.g. the postwar British secret ...

(Newser) – Too many gadgets in the bedroom can kill a couple's sex life, but technology is also changing and, in some cases, improving the way people relate to each other sexually. Below are 10 ways in which technology is transforming the way we think about—or have—sex. Lab-grown vaginas are helping women born with a rare genetic condition called vaginal aplasia have normal sex lives, and scientists are closing in on lab-grown penises. No partner? No problem. You can 3D-print your own sex toys (at UPS, apparently). If you're worried about your sexual prowess, Italian researchers have created a gadget that tracks your movements in bed.

Gun collectors, pay attention, because the Wilbarger County Sheriff's Office plans to sell a rare, fully automatic machine gun from the 1920s. Wilbarger County Sheriff Larry Lee says this 1920s Colt Thompson was obtained in the late 1930s by a former sheriff, free of charge, from a U.S. Navy surplus and has been locked up in a vault for 70 years. Lee says the gun is a rare 1921 model overstamped later with the year 1928 when the company began selling leftover '21 models. He says the gun is fully functional and has only been fired a few times. Lee says the gun is valued at more than $30,000 and selling it would benefit the community. "A gun that's this valuable I can ...

If anyone out of a uniform was caught stealing ammunition, they would face serious consequences. But not rookie cop Stephen Sargent. Sargent was busted stealing ammunition at an Academy sporting goods store near Houston, Texas. A Harris County sheriff’s deputy was seen by customers arresting a fellow law enforcement officer who was using his badge and uniform to get away with stealing ammunition, because it was “too expensive.” A spokesman for the Harris County Sheriff’s Department said that Sargent was arrested at the Academy Sports and Outdoors store after being caught on camera stealing around $60 worth of ammunition. “I can’t imagine why he would be ...

Africa's medicine men key to halting Ebola spread in Guinea

By Misha Hussain MACENTA, Guinea (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - In a land where witchcraft is sought after more than science for curing illness, medicine men in Guinea say the Ebola epidemic would be over by now if they had been properly included in the outbreak response. From broken bones to impotence to madness, these traditional healers say they have a potion, spell or touch for many ailments Western doctors can't treat. But there's only one cure for Ebola they say: knowledge. In the forest region of southeastern Guinea, where the virus was detected last March, disseminating information using modern technology has proved challenging, resulting in the disease outstaying its ...

PressTV... Study says over 70% of sex workers in the UK have previously worked in healthcare, education or charities. A new study reveals that at least 38 percent of sex workers in the United Kingdom have a first degree from a college or university. The study of 240 sex workers, including 196 women, 28 men and 12 transgender people, focused on those who were not trafficked or forced into selling sex, but had chosen to do so, and most worked from within premises rather than on the streets, the Guardian reported. The academic research by Leeds University and funded by the Wellcome Trust, also reveals the pressures that lead people to enter the sex industry, with one respondent saying ...

A technical commission has established the preliminary causes of the crash of a French Falcon 50 airplane at Moscow’s Vnukovo Airport in October 2014 in which Total CEO Christophe de Margerie was killed. The report outlines a number of procedural violations that took place in the run-up to the disaster, in which the Frenchman’s jet collided with a snowplow operated by an apparently intoxicated driver.

Sputnik... The issue has plagued the town of Kalachi in Kazakhstan, now nicknamed “Sleepy Hollow,” for months. The problem was first reported in 2010, and the government is now taking action against the bizarre epidemic. At least two other towns nearby have reported similar symptoms from their residents. It’s been classified as an “encephalopathy,” a neurological disease or disorder, of unclear origin. Villagers report dizziness, memory loss, loss of motor skills. Two children have reported hallucinations as well. Because doctors have yet to determine a “cure” for the mystery condition, officials in Kalachi, which has a population of less than 1000, ...

Want... President Xi Jinping of China and his top graft-buster Wang Qishan may be targeted by assassination attempts from corrupt officials who have been allegedly buying high-powered sniper rifles from the United States, reports Boxun News, a US-based citizen journalism outlet with a reputation for releasing unsubstantiated "insider" reports on Chinese politics. According to a Boxun reporter in Hong Kong, recent raids on the homes of more than one corrupt official unveiled evidence of a revenge plot to assassinate Xi and Wang with American sniper rifles.

Female Anatomy Explained to Lawmaker

(CN) - An Idaho lawmaker got an anatomy lesson Monday when he asked a doctor if a woman could swallow a camera to conduct a remote gynecological exam. State Rep. Vito Barbieri posed the question during testimony to the House State Affairs Committee. The bill at issue, HB 154, would bar doctors from prescribing abortion-inducing drugs through telemedicine services. Planned Parenthood posted an audiotape of the exchange on the Internet. Dr. Julie Madsen, who provides telemedicine services in Idaho, described a procedure in which colonoscopy patients swallow a device that gives doctors a clearer view of parts of the colon. "Can this same procedure then be done in a pregnancy? ...

Out of facts? Stick to cats: Examiner's pitiful attempt at dissing RT
Post Date: 2015-02-23 07:38:45 by Tatarewicz

RT... For an investigative reporter, the Examiner’s Julia Davis seems to lack one basic professional skill: fact checking. Or perhaps it's a lack of attention to detail that sees her repeatedly ignoring simple facts, particularly where RT is involved. First, Davis slams Newsweek for “parrot[ing] RT’s false narrative” and misreporting on a new Ukrainian law by erroneously stating that commanders can use force against servicemen who drink alcohol while on duty (in fact the law imposes administrative punishment for alcohol consumption). There’s one problem with that ‘line’ though – never does the RT story in question say such a thing. In fact, ...

HANGZHOU, Feb. 17 (Xinhua) -- As many Chinese prepare to travel abroad for the upcoming Spring Festival holiday, tourism industry insiders are appealing travelers to mind their manners. Ctrip, a NASDAQ-listed travel service company, published a report on Chinese travelers' behavior abroad in January, which claimed most of the 1 million tourists using its package or independent tour services to travel overseas do abide by local regulations. According to the report, those with unwelcome behaviors accounted for no more than one in 10,000. However, for the world's largest outbound travel market, even one in a million is enough to cause concern. In 2013, a Chinese tourist wrote his ...
