Jungle..

French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve announced this month plans to dismantle The Jungle [tent city] and disperse migrants to other sites throughout France. Part of the vast camp was closed earlier this year.

France and the U.K. are building a 13-foot-high wall to block the camp's 9,000 migrants from reaching a nearby highway or ferry port to hitch a ride across the English Channel. Britain is paying nearly $3 million for the half-mile-long concrete wall, which will start going up this month.

Many Migrants resigned to seeking French refugee status, but think brighter  future would be  living and working in the U.K. 

Calais Mayor Natacha Bouchard said residents are pleased to see the tent city go, because it has left the town in “complete pain." But some locals said its closure would simply send the migrants to someone else’s backyard.

Boulogne and her husband moved from the Paris suburbs to retire in this quiet northern French city. Now they lock their doors at night for safety, claiming migrants have stolen everything in their backyard.

The migrants also caused disruptions at night, when groups of them go to the nearby highway to try boarding trucks heading to England.

"We cut trees and throw them onto the road," then set them on fire to slow down traffic, explained a 16 y.o., an Afghan who is one of an estimated 670 unaccompanied minors in the camp.

Mama...

Lilian Hunt Trasher was born in Jacksonville, Florida and was raised Roman Catholic in Brunswick, Georgia. According to one account, her Quaker family had moved to the South after the Civil War.

While still in her late teens, Trasher attended Bible college for one term, and then worked at Faith Orphanage in North Carolina in 1908-1910, after she failed to get a reporting job that she wanted. 

Deciding that her mission lay in Africa, she broke off the engagement ten days before the wedding after her prospective husband failed to share her call.

Trasher also taught at a second Bible school in South Carolina, pastored a Pentecostal church, and briefly travelled with an evangelist, but later returned to work again at the orphanage.

In 1910 after meeting Pastor Brelsford (or Perlsford) of Assiout, Egypt at a missionary conference, Trasher decided to defy her family's wishes and leave for that country.^[3] Inspired as well by opening a bible to Acts 7:34, which referred to Egypt, Lilian and her sister Jennie sailed to Africa with less than 100 dollars in their pockets.

By the time she died in 1961, the Lillian Trasher Orphanage had grown to some 1200 children. Today, the institution is entirely the responsibility of the Assemblies of God of Egypt.

"Mama" Lillian lies buried on her orphanage's cemetery. 

Give Him a Chance...

Give the man a chance. Let him help Egypt become the balancing power in the middle East. Look around... Syria, Iraq, Libya, and give the man the respect he command.  Welcome Pres. El Sisi.

Do Somthing...

 

Federal Court Judge Robin Camp was a provincial court judge in a case involving a 19-year-old woman who said she was raped over a sink during a house party.

Camp asked the victim "why didn't you just sink your bottom down into the basin so he couldn't penetrate you" and "why couldn't you just keep your knees together?" He suggested if she moved her pelvis, she could have avoided him.

He also said, "wom[e]n want to have sex, particularly if they're drunk" and “sex and pain sometimes go together [...] that’s not necessarily a bad thing.”

Camp has since apologized and said he didn't receive training on sex assault cases prior to the case, CNN reports.

The Canadian Judicial Council will decide if Camp will be dismissed over the comments. The story as reported is very limited and some details are deliberately not reported.

Value...

The talk-show celebrity and 10% owner of Weight Watchers has seen $117 million in wealth vanished as shares have crashed 66% from their high notched November 2015.

Shares of Weight Watchers are down another  7%,  after the company said it is replacing its CEO. 

Reality is setting now as things haven't worked out as many investors hoped after Winfrey formed close professional ties with the company in October 2015.

But the level of enthusiasm is proving in hindsight to have been much overdone. The company's revenue during the just completed second-quarter of $309.8 million is flat with a year ago, although profit is up 9.3%. The company lost $10.8 million in the first quarter.

Oprah Winfrey's halo effect on Weight Watchers (WTW) is disappearing fast.

Missing U

New Low...

Notre Dame Cathedral

Three women were arrested in connection with gas cylinders found inside a car left in front of Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris. One of the women had a letter in her purse swearing allegiance to ISIS.

In the letter, she said she was answering the call of one of the highest-ranking figures in ISIS, who was killed in late August.

The letter also said that "I am attacking you in your lands in order to terrorize you," according to the prosecutor.

Describing the women as radicalized, the three were likely planning an "imminent and violent" attack, French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve said after their arrests near Paris.

A police officer was injured in the shoulder when one woman attacked him with a knife in Boussy-Saint-Antoine, southeast of Paris. The injury was not life-threatening.

The minister said the women are 19, 23 and 39. CNN affiliate BFMTV said the owner of the car reported two daughters as missing and they were arrested. 
This is a new low.             Just a thought.
