It is likewise plausible that Mateen’s alleged homosexuality catalyzed an internal desire to “prove himself” in the eyes of Islam and seek redemption all the more.
The AspireAssist system consists of a thin tube implanted in the stomach, connecting to an outside port on the skin of the belly. About 20 minutes after finishing a meal, users connect the port to an external device, which drains some of the recently-consumed food into the toilet.

Of the 54 incidents that fit these criteria, the shooter chose locations where guns were banned 37 times (69 percent). Alternatively, the shooting occurred where guns were legally allowed only 17 times (31 percent). See graphic.
The agency has received 31 reports of people hospitalized due to the heart problems, including 10 deaths over the last 39 years. The agency’s database is not comprehensive and many drug overdoses are not reported to the government.
The 499-page final rule would require regulatory reviews for electronic cigarettes, #cigars, and other products that went on sale after Feb. 15, 2007, unless the manufacturers can prove to the #FDA that they’re “substantially equivalent” to products that were already being sold or that there is some other reason they should be exempt.
One could argue that maybe a tuition-free ride to college is a tad much for a viral video, but, alas, the racial commentary has to take a front-and-center role in ruining everyone’s fun because that’s what liberals do. Remind everyone to stop having a good time because we’re all racists, sexists, and misogynists whether we know it or not. Oh, and they will try to make a race commentary over everything. The latest victim seems to be a Chewbacca Star Wars mask:
According to TMZ, Chewbacca Mom (real name Candace Payne) sold autographs at the Fan Expo. Her booth was apparently next to Jack Gleeson, aka King Joffrey from “Game of Thrones.” The difference between the two? Gleeson achieved a career in television and film because of talent and hard work. Chewbacca Mom laughed at a piece of plastic she bought at Kohl’s.
#Free speech has been a common topic of conversation recently, given the political climate in the United States. This video digs into the issues from a rational (read: Australian) perspective.
Recent graduates across the country have received an earful of accolades and encouragement to follow their passions from the likes of Matt Damon and even Barack and Michelle Obama. But blue-collar champion and Dirty Jobs star #Mike Rowe has an altogether different message in an online commencement speech of his own: “Don’t follow your #passion.”
Here we are a few weeks later, and we have already acquired the proof that #Katie Couric’s ‘Under the #Gun’ is about as accurate as the NY Times’ discredited hit piece on Trump.
“We did quote-unquote debut it last week. But we have no intention of doing anything with it, if you will,” DeCleene told AdWeek. “It’s literally a one-off, isolated promotion. If anything, it’s truly meant to give props to #Salt Lake, because for a city that size, 1,500 miles away from us, we just thought, ‘Wow, that’s killer.’ “
Gonzalez pressed the SDUSD for the name change presumably for her own personal reasons, because she certainly wasn’t prompted by any public outcry. As reported by Breitbart:
#School City of Mishawaka is looking to make several improvements at its schools, but it needs approval from the #school board and from Mishawaka voters first.
They’ve done a very similar experiment before, and the results were significant. In a paper published earlier this year in Nature, Fowler and his colleagues announced that a #Facebook message and behavior-sharing communication increased the probability that a person votes by slightly more than 2 percent. That may not seem like a huge effect, but when you have a huge population, as Facebook does, a small uptick in probability means substantial changes in voting behavior.
Facebook confirmed in a paper in Science that it often shows users news from users with similar political beliefs, and on average, you’re about 6 percent less likely to see content that the other political side favors. This means that who you’re friends with and their political beliefs influence what you see more than th algorithm does.
What happens, though, if such technologies are misused by the companies that own them? A study by Robert M Bond, now a political science professor at Ohio State University, and others published in Nature in 2012 described an ethically questionable experiment in which, on #election day in 2010, Facebook sent ‘go out and vote’ reminders to more than 60 million of its users. The reminders caused about 340,000 people to vote who otherwise would not have. Writing in the New Republic in 2014, Jonathan Zittrain, professor of international law at Harvard University, pointed out that, given the massive amount of information it has collected about its users, Facebook could easily send such messages only to people who support one particular party or candidate, and that doing so could easily flip a close election – with no one knowing that this has occurred. And because advertisements, like search rankings, are ephemeral, manipulating an election in this way would leave no paper trail.

Mayor Pete Buttigieg will announce Thursday that free, public Wi-Fi is now available from more than 30 access points within a new, downtown wireless network.
If the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) statutory purpose is to protect public health, why is the agency using its regulatory power in a way that stands to undermine advances in public health?
“We’re looking at the flavor issue with e-cigarettes,” said FDA Tobacco Center Director Mitch Zeller during a news conference. Later, he said, that while the agency was aware of “anecdotal reports” that e-cigarettes have helped smokers kick their habit, those benefits were outweighed by concerns about youth using the devices.
