Gu-Ru...
The conviction of the flashy guru of a hugely popular religious sect on charges of raping two female followers has set off violent riots by followers across much of north India.
More than two dozen people have died. Buses, trains and buildings have been set on fire.
The guru calls himself Saint Dr., is the embodiment of God on earth. Over a 100,000 trekked to gather around the courtroom in the northern town of Panchkula.
He's facing other criminal investigations as well. There's an ongoing trial over the murder of a journalist. ....
He promotes vegetarianism, campaigns against drug addiction and holds massive blood donation camps. He has started a film franchise in which he stars as the "Messenger of God," or MSG, with divine powers to save the world. The sect runs schools, colleges and hospitals.
He enjoys the highest level of state security in addition to his own personal bodyguards.
Becloud...
A popular German news magazine depicting U.S. President Donald Trump draped in the American flag while giving a stiff-armed Nazi salute.
This is drawing sharp criticism from a prominent Jewish group and others.
Stern magazine's illustration is part of a cover story headlined "Sein Kampf," which translates as "His Struggle" and is a play on Adolf Hitler's infamous "Mein Kampf."
Germans must surely know that by misappropriating" Nazi symbols "they belittle and becloud" past crimes.
Communication...
Four U.S. military service members who were part of Vice President Mike Pence's communications team have been reassigned after bringing women back to their hotel in Panama without registering them, U.S. officials have confirmed. The incident happened around the time that Pence was visiting the Central American nation.
The three Army soldiers and Air Force airman were reassigned pending an investigation into why they did not register the women into a secure area as required by security protocols, according to officials.
The agency is staffed by military communications specialists who secure communications networks for the Vice President during domestic and overseas travel.
And they did... Just a thought.

Valerie Mahaffey (born June 16, 1953)[1] is an American character actress and producer. She won an Emmy Award for her work on Northern Exposure. She later won fame through her portrayal of extroverted and friendly but ultimately insane women on the television shows Wings, Desperate Housewives and Devious Maids.
Best facial expression I ever seen as she moves from happy to psycho in no time.
As of late 1980's, Mahaffey began acting in television comedies, like Newhart, Cheers, and Seinfeld. From 1992–93, she starred in the short-lived NBC sitcom The Powers That Be. She played Tracy Milford in the 1995 film National Lampoon's Senior Trip and Jan Kempster in the 1997 film Jungle 2 Jungle. In 1999, she had a recurring role on ER. .....
Milk...*
Dairy labels can be confusing by an endless array of product labels claiming various issues. The FDA stated that dairy products and meat from BST-treated cows are safe for human consumption.
The Council of the European Union (EU) decided to definitively ban possible use of recombinant bovine somatotrophin (rBST) in the European Union.
Some claims can't be supported such as
Hormone-free, the claim is misleading since all dairy products contain hormones.
No hormones added This label may also be misleading because the FDA requires that all commercially available fluid milk sold must be fortified with Vitamin D.
Made without the use of synthetic or artificial hormones All milk has hormones in it.
All Natural — According to the FDA, these terms may be used on fluid milk products as long as they don’t contain any artificial ingredients or added colors and flavors.
Our farmers pledge not to use artificial growth hormones.
Milk from cows not treated with rBST
No Hormones added, No Antibiotics.
So which to choose?... You be the judge. Just a thought.
