Президент уверил Сущенко в том, что прилагает максимальные усилия для его скорейшего освобождения
Украинский политзаключенный Роман Сущенко, которого незаконно арестовали и удерживают в России, получил письмо от президента Украины Петра Порошенко. Соответствующее письмо опубликовал в Facebook адвокат Марк Фейгин.
В письме президент поддержал украинца и пожелал ему выдержки.
„Уважаемый Роман Владимирович, непростое время сейчас проходит наша Украина , а Вам – тяжелее всех. И сегодня, когда Вы оторваны от семьи и родных, хотел бы, чтобы Вы вошли в Новый год с крепкой верой в силу единства, которая не знает границ и преград“, – написал Порошенко.
Также президент уверил Сущенко в том, что прилагает максимальные усилия для его скорейшего освобождения и возвращения на родину.
Напомним, корреспондент „Укринформа“ во Франции Роман Сущенко был задержан 30 сентября в Москве, где находился с частным визитом. Его обвинили в шпионаже, заявив, что он является сотрудником Главного управления разведки Минобороны Украины. В украинской разведке причастность Сущенко к ведомству не подтверждают.
28 ноября Лефортовский суд Москвы продлил арест до конца января украинскому журналисту.

Хавбек „Асколи“ и молодежной сборной Италии Рикардо Орсолини показал, почему на него охотятся ведущие клубы Серии А.
19-летний полузащитник молодежной сборной Италии просто уничтожил игрока „Специи“ Франческо Мильоре роскошным финтом. Орсолини выполнил финт с такой скоростью, что Мильоре просто повалился на газон, не удержав равновесия.
Отметим, что на Орсолини, который считается одним из самых перспективных игроков Италии, претендуют „Милан“ и „Ювентус“.

January 10, 2017

Фигурантами уголовного производства, по которому ранее в Харьковском горсовете прокуратура провела обыски, являются сотрудник одного из департаментов органа власти и замглавы исполнительной службы одного из районов города: их подозревают в регулярном вымогательстве взяток у предпринимателей. Об этом сообщила пресс-служба Генпрокуратуры на сайте ведомства.
Была разоблачена схема незаконного предоставления в аренду коммунального имущества города. Во время получения взятки помимо упомянутых выше чиновников был разоблачен также директор одной из юридических фирм Харькова.
В 2013 году хозяйственный суд Харьковской области по требованию прокуратуры Харькова расторг договор аренды нежилых помещений площадью свыше 250 кв. м и передал их в коммунальное имущество горсовета. Подозреваемые пришли к предпринимателю и пообещали „помочь решить вопрос“ о продлении аренды за 30 тысяч гривень. За пользование помещением в дальнейшем необходимо было платить по шесть тысяч гривень ежемесячно.
В прокуратуре отметили, что по месту работы и проживания фигурантов дела проводятся обыски , а досудебное расследование идет по ч. 3 ст. 368 УК (получение неправомерной выгоды группой лиц).
Решается вопрос о задержании трех подозреваемых.

SWIMMING UPSTREAM (A) — Farmed Atlantic salmon has 17 to 20 percent more omega-3 fat than Pacific salmon. Creators.com photo courtesy of Danny Moore Health2017-12 HEALTH AND FITNESS 2017 Creators.com
By Charlyn Fargo- Looking to boost your omega-3s? Both farm-raised and wild salmon are good choices. But which is better? Farmed Atlantic salmon, it turns out, outranks wild Pacific salmon, with 20 percent to 70 percent more omega-3 fat per serving. However, if you want fewer calories and more protein, wild salmon comes out the winner, according to Leslie Beck, a registered dietitian with the Medisys Clinic in Toronto.
The American Heart Association recommends eating seafood twice a week for its heart-healthy benefits. The two omega-3 fatty acids in fish, called eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid, are thought to guard against heart attack, stroke and sudden cardiac death. The benefits of DHA and EPA are also tied to a lower risk of Type 2 diabetes, macular degeneration and Alzheimer’s disease. They also promote healthy eye and brain development in infants.
Salmon delivers more omega-3 fatty acids than most types of fatty fish. And farmed Atlantic salmon contains more omega-3 fatty acids than wild-caught salmon, according to the U. S. Department of Agriculture. Farmed salmon is also higher in total fat than wild salmon. Three ounces of Atlantic salmon has 175 calories, 10.5 grams of fat and 1,820 milligrams of DHA plus EPA. The same serving size of sockeye salmon contains 133 calories, 4.7 grams of fat and 730 milligrams of omega-3s.
Excessive heat can destroy omega-3s. Baking, broiling, steaming and poaching fish will cause minimal loss of beneficial omega-3s. Deep-frying and pan-frying fish at high temperatures can destroy omega-3 fats.
The bottom line is whether you choose farm-raised, wild-caught, canned or smoked salmon, it is an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids. It’s also packed with protein, B vitamins (especially B12), selenium and potassium. Just be careful how you cook it.
Q and A
Q: What role does a gluten-free diet play in reducing cancer risk?
A: Gluten is a protein in wheat, rye and barley that poses no risk to most people. For people who have celiac disease, gluten sets off a reaction (in which the body’s immune system attacks its own cells) creating damage in the intestines that could increase risk of cancer. In this disease, closely following a gluten-free diet is vital. There may be a spectrum of other, separate gluten-related disorders, called “non-celiac gluten sensitivity” (NCGS) based on emerging research. For these people, symptoms like digestive tract pain, headache or fatigue improve when gluten is removed. So far, researchers don’t consider it related to cancer risk. In either case, people avoiding gluten can eat a well-balanced diet, replacing the three gluten-containing grains with potatoes, whole-grain rice, soy, amaranth, quinoa, buckwheat, beans and starch or flour made from any of these. However, if you do not have celiac disease or NCGS, research shows no cancer protection from avoiding gluten. In fact, whole-grain foods containing gluten can be good sources of fiber and phytochemicals that may be cancer-protective.

Tag, you’re it at Carolina Motor Club

Von

admin

January 10, 2017

Way back when, the Charlotte branch of the Carolina Motor Club (now AAA) not only provided vacation planning and auto safety tips, they also distributed license tags and plates. From the 1950s to the 1970s the Motor Club offices were at 701 S. Tryon Street, near the old Observer building and Morehead Street. The building was demolished in 1979 to make way for I-277.
Here’s an excerpt from a 1966 Observer story that ran in the Travel section:
It Began Sixty Years Ago
Auto Tag Business Isn’t New
February 27, 1966
By Dick Pitts, Carolina Motor Club
“By now, most Charlotte motor vehicle owners have affixed to the front or rear of their vehicle a city tag, signifying that they are good, dues-paying members of the community.
Some, of course, do not let go of that extra one dollar on the assumption that they will not be detected and fined.
It began 60 years ago, when a 1905 city ordinance decreed that all automobiles or horseless carriages be licensed.
One of the first city license tags issued in 1905 was brought to light by F. M. Moore, Carolina Motor Club sales rep. It is a brass tag, three inches wide and one and a half inches deep, slightly oval in shape, with this legend: ‘License, Four Seat Automobile, No. 11, Charlotte, NC, 1905.’ It had been purchased by Mr. Moore’s father.
It wasn’t until 1909 that state officials of North Carolina, concerned with the rising tide of horseless carriages, decided on a nose count. When it was over, 1,681 vehicles propelled by gasoline engines were discovered and plans were made to have each one registered.
Applications were filed with a fee of $5. In turn, owners were issued a set of numbers and instructed to place them somewhere on their car. This casual approach resulted in a variety of homemade tags constructed of wood, tin, enamel, and other materials.
Color scheme the first year was black on white, or vice versa if you preferred. Numbers, however, had to be ‘Arabic numerals at least three inches high.’”
It is said that John Parks, the publisher of the Raleigh Times for many years, was the first Tar Heel to get a license number — he painted his numerals on a square of black oil cloth, folded it over a piece of wood and tacked it on!
“The do-it-yourself trend halted in 1913 when the state began furnishing (but not manufacturing) tags. It was in January, 1930, that prison labor began hammering out tags, a practice that has continued to the present.”
+ +
Flash forward to today: We still stand in line for our license plates! There must be a way around it… maybe. I don’t think so. Rats.

Obama says goodbye in last presidential speech

Von

admin

January 10, 2017

Barack Obama closes the book on his presidency on Tuesday, with a farewell speech in Chicago that will try to lift supporters felled by Donald Trump’s shock victory.
Obama’s last trip on Air Force One will be a pilgrimage to his adoptive hometown, where he will address a sell-out crowd not far from where he accepted the presidency eight years ago.
Diehard fans — many African Americans — have braved Chicago’s frigid winter to collect free tickets, which now sell for upwards of $1,000 a piece on Craigslist.
The First Lady Michelle Obama, Vice President Joe Biden and his wife Jill Biden will come along on for the ride.
Obama’s cross-country trek would be a sentimental trip down memory lane, were it not slap-bang in the middle of a tumultuous presidential handover.
Trump has smashed conventions, vowed to efface Obama’s legacy and hurled personal insults left and right.
The 2016 election campaign has raised serious questions about the resilience of US democracy.
In a virtually unprecedented move, US intelligence has accused the Kremlin of tipping the electoral scales in Trump’s favor.
Democrats, cast into the political wilderness with the loss of the White House, the Senate and the House of Representatives plus a majority of statehouses, are struggling to regroup.
With an approval rating hovering around 55 percent, Obama will hope to steel them for new battles ahead.
Lead speechwriter Cody Keenan said the address will be about Obama’s vision for where the country should still go.
„It’s not going to be like an anti-Trump speech, it’s not going to be a red meat, rabble rousing thing, it will be statesman-like but it will also be true to him,“ Keenan told AFP. „It will tell a story. “
– Life after White House –
Trump’s unorthodox politics has thrown 55-year-old Obama’s transition and post-presidency plans into flux.
Obama, having vowed a smooth handover of power, finds himself being increasingly critical of Trump as he prepares to leave office on January 20.
After that there will still be a holiday and an autobiography, but Obama could find himself being dragged backed into the political fray if Trump were to enact a Muslim registry or deport adults brought to the United States years ago by their parents.
Having vowed to take a backseat in politics, Obama’s second act could yet be as politically engaged as Jimmy Carter — whose post-presidency has remade his image as an elder statesman.
Many Obama aides who had planned to take exotic holidays or launch coffer-replenishing forays into the private sector are also reassessing their future and mulling a return to the political trenches.
Obama’s foundation is already gearing up for a quasi-political role — funneling idealistic youngsters into public life.
– Presidential precedent –
Presidents since George Washington have delivered a farewell address of sorts.
Washington’s final 7,641-word message — which is still read once a year in the Senate by tradition — contained warnings about factionalism and interference by foreign powers that seem oddly prescient.
But speechwriter Keenan sees few obvious templates: „Bush and Clinton did theirs from here (the White House), George H. W. Bush went to West Point, gave a foreign policy speech,“ he told AFP. „They are all totally different. “
The trip to Chicago is not just for nostalgia, Keenan indicated.
„The thread that has run though his career from his days as community organizer to the Oval Office is the idea that if you get ordinary people together and get them educated, get them empowered, get them to act on something, that’s when good things happen,“ he said.
„For him, as someone who started as a community organizer, whose campaign was powered by young people, ordinary people, we decided we wanted to go back to Chicago. “
„Chicago is not just his hometown, it’s where his career started. “
And now it is also where Obama’s presidential career will effectively end.

As AG, Jeff Sessions likely to reverse recent progress on pot

Von

admin

January 10, 2017

As Sen. Jeff Sessions’ (R-Ala.) confirmation hearings get underway this morning, there’s no shortage of reasons to consider him one of Donald Trump’s most controversial cabinet nominees. The far-right Attorney General nominee’s record on race , criminal justice , and other social issues puts him far outside the American mainstream.
But Bloomberg Politics had an interesting report yesterday on an under-appreciated aspect of Sessions’ policy worldview.
Lawmakers in both parties are pressing Alabama Senator Jeff Sessions not to wipe out the booming marijuana industry in states like Colorado should he win confirmation as U. S. attorney general.
Sessions could theoretically use federal enforcement power to try to cripple what is already a $6 billion business that may soon triple after California, Massachusetts, Nevada and Maine voted in November to legalize recreational use of the drug.
As regular readers probably know , there have been some historic breakthroughs in recent years on U. S. drug policy, with voters in several states approving ballot measures to legalize recreational or medicinal marijuana use. These state-based policies have been allowed to proceed because the Obama administration extended its approval.
But it didn’t have to. As we’ve discussed , under federal law, officials could have ignored voters’ will and blocked those policies from advancing. State experimentation has been allowed to flourish because President Obama and his team have a progressive approach to the issue.
Sessions doesn’t.
Politico recently published a piece on the Alabama senator’s record on the issue: “In April, he said, ‘Good people don’t smoke marijuana,’ and that it was a ‘very real danger’ that is ‘not the kind of thing that ought to be legalized.’ Sessions … has called marijuana reform a ‘tragic mistake’ and criticized FBI Director James Comey and Attorneys General Eric Holder and Loretta Lynch for not vigorously enforcing a the federal prohibition that President Obama has called ‘untenable over the long term.’”
Obama has permitted states to pursue their own course, but federal law has not changed as it relates to illegal drugs, including marijuana. In other words, the moment Sessions becomes the nation’s chief law-enforcement official – assuming, that is, that he’s confirmed by a Republican-led Senate – he’ll have the authority to effectively undo the voter-endorsed state marijuana laws and reverse all of the recent progress on the issue.
Americans’ attitudes are shifting to the left on the “war on drugs,” but Americans’ next Attorney General may move the nation’s policy very quickly to the right.

Trumps Schwiegersohn wird Chefberater

Von

admin

January 10, 2017

Lange wurde spekuliert, nun ist es bestätigt: Der zukünftige US-Präsident Trump macht seinen Schwiegersohn Jared Kushner zu seinem Chefberater. Eigentlich ist es dem US-Präsidenten verboten, Verwandte zu berufen.
Der designierte US-Präsident Donald Trump macht seinen Schwiegersohn Jared Kushner zu einem seiner einflussreichsten Berater. Der 36-jährige Ehemann von Trumps Tochter Ivanka soll als Senior Adviser ins Weiße Haus kommen. Kushner sei während des Wahlkampfs und der Übergangszeit schon ein „enormer Gewinn“ gewesen, erklärte Trump. Nun sei er „stolz“ darauf, ihn künftig „in einer Schlüsselrolle“ an seiner Seite zu haben.
Kushner hatte sich während des Wahlkampfs vor allem um die digitale Strategie gekümmert. Auch an den Personalentscheidungen des zukünftigen Präsidenten soll er wesentlich beteiligt gewesen sein. Im Übergangsteam von Trump hatte Kushner bereits eine führende Rolle bei der Kommunikation mit Vertretern Israels übernommen. Gemeinsam mit dem umstrittenen Trump-Berater Steve Bannon soll er unter anderem Pläne besprochen haben, nach denen die US-Botschaft von Tel Aviv nach Jerusalem verlegt werden könnte.
Kushner ist Spross einer orthodox jüdischen Familie und gilt auch als einflussreicher Ratgeber Trumps in der Nahostpolitik. Kushners Vater Charles ist wie Donald Trump eine Größe in der New Yorker Immobilienszene. Auch Kushner war bislang als Immobilienunternehmer tätig. Außerdem ist er Herausgeber des Wochenblatts „New York Observer“. Die politische Beraterrolle des Geschäftsmanns an der Seite des Präsidenten dürfte insofern heftige Diskussionen um mögliche Interessenkonflikte auslösen.
Laut einem Bericht des Fernsehsenders NBC News versicherte Kushners Anwältin Jamie Gorelick, dass dieser die gesetzlich festgelegten ethischen Maßstäbe zur Vermeidung solcher Konflikte beachten werde. Das Kushner-Team habe bereits mit dem für diese Standards zuständigen Regierungsbüro Rücksprache gehalten, um über die nötigen Schritte zu entscheiden.
Kushner werde als Geschäftsführer seines multimilliardenschweren Immobilienimperiums zurücktreten, „substanzielle Vermögenswerte“ abstoßen und sich aus Regierungsangelegenheiten heraushalten, die seine finanziellen Interessen berührten, sagte Gorelick.
Ein Gesetz gegen Vetternwirtschaft legt allerdings fest, dass US-Präsidenten keine Verwandten anstellen dürfen. Das Gesetz war verabschiedet worden, nachdem der frühere Präsident John F. Kennedy Anfang der sechziger Jahre seinen Bruder Robert zum Justizminister ernannt hatte. Trump-Berater argumentieren jedoch, dass der Präsident größeren Spielraum habe, wenn es um Ernennungen für das Weiße Haus und nicht das Kabinett gehe.
Ivanka Trump wird laut Vertretern des Übergangsteam hingegen keinen Job im Weißen Haus annehmen. Auch sie werde ihre Managementaufgaben in der Trump Organization sowie in ihren eigenen Modeunternehmen niederlegen um sich stattdessen um ihre drei Kinder zu kümmern. Dennoch wird vermutet, dass Ivanka Trump eine wichtige Rolle an der Seite ihres Vaters spielen wird. US-Kommentatoren gehen davon aus, dass sie prominenter in Erscheinung treten wird als Trumps Ehefrau Melania.
