An employee of the safari park said:
“We’re not sure if they are being given weapons by some of the guests who want to see them attack cars, or if they’re fishing them out of pick-up trucks and vans.”
Reportedly, the curious primates often check out people’s toolboxes and grab shiny objects such as screwdrivers. However, they were now seen carrying around far more dangerous weapons. The staff member added:
“One of the baboons was seen lugging around a chainsaw.”
Some of the baboons were also seen with knives.
The staff suspects the animals were armed on purpose by considerable visitors.
Although the monkeys sometimes cause damage to people’s cars, this incident didn’t appear to be initiated by the animals.

About an hour after Perseverance sent an acquisition signal back to our planet, there was a connection loss due to unexpected cold temperatures in deep space. NASA officials stated:
“An interplanetary launch is fast-paced and dynamic, so a spacecraft is designed to put itself in safe mode if its onboard computer perceives conditions are not within its preset parameters.”

iheartintelligence--2020-08-04--George Floyd’s fatal arrest moment-by-moment revealed by police bodycam footage

Exclusive bodycam footage from two of the former officers charged with the murder of George Floyd shows a rookie cop pointing a handgun at Floyd ’ s head .
The footage revealed by Daily Mail shows the last minutes of George Floyd ’ s life from the perspective of the officers who caused his death .
George Floyd died on May 25 , after police officer Derek Chauvin vigorously pressed his knee onto Floyd ’ s neck until he lost consciousness .
Four officers were involved in the murder , holding the man on the ground , despite his cries @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and 46 seconds , Floyd was left completely motionless , showing no signs of life .
In the horrific tapes , Floyd can be heard begging : “ Mr .
Officer , please don ’ t shoot me .
Please , man.
” The 46-year-old black man even warned the callous cops he was suffering from claustrophobia and anxiety as they were forcing him into the back of the car .
Shockingly , Floyd can be also heard foreseeing his own death , saying : Reportedly , the exclusive footage is from the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Lane – the first cops to arrive at the scene .
Derek Chauvin and Tou Thao were called as a back-up .
They were responding to a call claiming an African-American tried to buy cigarettes with a fake $ 20 bill .
The horrific incident happened in front of Cup Foods in Powderhorn Park , Minneapolis .
All four cops involved in the murder of George Floyd were fired the following day .
Chauvin was charged with Floyd ’ s murder .
As for the other officers , they have been charged with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ manslaughter .
George Floyd ’ s public killing sparked a massive wave of Black Lives Matter protests around the world .
What becomes clear from the chilling bodycam videos is that Floyd had no intentions to run away .
After the call made by a Cup Foods employee , he even waits in his car for the cops to arrive so he can explain the situation .
When the officers approach Floyd ’ s car , Thomas Lane can be seen knocking on the car window with his flashlight .
When Floyd opens @ @ @ @ @ @ @ handgun straight at his head .
Seeing the officer pointing a gun at him , Floyd says : “ Hey man , I ’ m sorry.
” To this , Lane aggressively responds : “ Put your f***ing hands up right now !
Let me see your other hand.
” Clearly terrified and shocked by what was going on , George Floyd shares he had been shot before under similar circumstances .
But instead of asking Floyd what he did or what happened at Cup Foods , Lane says : “ Okay .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ me see your hands ’ , you put your f***ing hands up !
” “ Okay .
Mr .
Officer , please don ’ t shoot me .
Please , man !
” These are the words Floyd says as the officer forces him to step out of the car .
He continues to beg the cop not to shoot him , saying : “ Please don ’ t shoot me , man .
I just lost my mom , man.
” As the two rookie officers pull Floyd out his car , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they handcuffed him , Lane asks the passengers , Floyd ’ s ex – Shawanda Hill , and a friend – Maurice Hall , why is he acting “ all squirrelly ” , refusing to show his hands .
Hill and Hall then explain he has been shot before , and he has mental issues when it comes to encounters with police officers .
The real struggle begins when the cops attempt to forcefully shove Floyd in the back of the squad car .
Claiming he has claustrophobia and he had recently suffered @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the car .
Despite his claims , the officers still try to force him onto the car .
However , Lane tries to make things a little less suffocating , offering to roll the cruiser ’ s windows down to help Floyd ’ s phobia .
Still , Floyd can not calm down and says he ’ s terribly scared .
When an onlooker tells George Floyd to try to control himself , as there was no way he could win in such a situation , he responds : Derek Chauvin and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ after .
They finally manage to get Floyd into the car .
However , for an unclear reason , he comes out of the passenger side door , still suffocating .
Only a few seconds later , George Floyd can be seen lying on the sidewalk with Chauvin ’ s knee pressed onto his neck .
Lane and Kueng are also holding him to the ground .
George Floyd repeatedly says he can not breathe , but his words are left ignored .
Shockingly , at one point , he says : “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I ’ m dead.
” While pressing the helpless man onto the ground , the officers can be heard asking each other if they ’ re okay .
Afterward , Thao expresses suggestions that Floyd may be high .
Keung and Lane say they found a weed pipe and there might be something else .
After George Floyd says “ I can ’ t breathe !
” again , Kueng tells him he was talking just fine .
To this ignorance , Floyd replies : Chauvin then yells at him : “ Then @ @ @ @ @ @ @ takes a heck of a lot of oxygen to talk.
” Then , only 8 minutes and 46 seconds after Chauvin first pressed his knee onto Floyd ’ s neck , the 46-year-old father loses consciousness .
By the time the ambulance arrives , Floyd is already dead .
WARNING : The following videos contain disturbing content .
The disturbing bodycam footage revealed by Daily Mail shows in detail the horror George Floyd has been through during the last minutes of his life .

In the horrific tapes, Floyd can be heard begging: “Mr. Officer, please don’t shoot me. Please, man.”
The 46-year-old black man even warned the callous cops he was suffering from claustrophobia and anxiety as they were forcing him into the back of the car. Shockingly, Floyd can be also heard foreseeing his own death, saying:
“I’ll probably just die this way.”
Reportedly, the exclusive footage is from the bodycams of officers Alex Kueng and Thomas Lane – the first cops to arrive at the scene. Derek Chauvin and Tou Thao were called as a back-up. They were responding to a call claiming an African-American tried to buy cigarettes with a fake $20 bill. The horrific incident happened in front of Cup Foods in Powderhorn Park, Minneapolis.
All four cops involved in the murder of George Floyd were fired the following day. Chauvin was charged with Floyd’s murder. As for the other officers, they have been charged with aiding and abetting second-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter.

George Floyd’s public killing sparked a massive wave of Black Lives Matter protests around the world.
What becomes clear from the chilling bodycam videos is that Floyd had no intentions to run away. After the call made by a Cup Foods employee, he even waits in his car for the cops to arrive so he can explain the situation.
When the officers approach Floyd’s car, Thomas Lane can be seen knocking on the car window with his flashlight. When Floyd opens the car, the cop points his handgun straight at his head.
Seeing the officer pointing a gun at him, Floyd says: “Hey man, I’m sorry.”
To this, Lane aggressively responds: “Put your f***ing hands up right now! Let me see your other hand.”
Clearly terrified and shocked by what was going on, George Floyd shares he had been shot before under similar circumstances. But instead of asking Floyd what he did or what happened at Cup Foods, Lane says: “Okay. Well, when I say ‘Let me see your hands’, you put your f***ing hands up!”
“Okay. Mr. Officer, please don’t shoot me. Please, man!”
These are the words Floyd says as the officer forces him to step out of the car. He continues to beg the cop not to shoot him, saying: “Please don’t shoot me, man. I just lost my mom, man.”
As the two rookie officers pull Floyd out his car, he can be seen sobbing. After they handcuffed him, Lane asks the passengers, Floyd’s ex – Shawanda Hill, and a friend – Maurice Hall, why is he acting “all squirrelly”, refusing to show his hands. Hill and Hall then explain he has been shot before, and he has mental issues when it comes to encounters with police officers.

The real struggle begins when the cops attempt to forcefully shove Floyd in the back of the squad car. Claiming he has claustrophobia and he had recently suffered from COVID, Floyd refuses to get in the car.
“I am going to die in here. I’m going to die, man. I just had COVID, man. I don’t want to go back to that.”
Despite his claims, the officers still try to force him onto the car. However, Lane tries to make things a little less suffocating, offering to roll the cruiser’s windows down to help Floyd’s phobia. Still, Floyd cannot calm down and says he’s terribly scared.

When an onlooker tells George Floyd to try to control himself, as there was no way he could win in such a situation, he responds:
“I don’t want to win. I’m claustrophobic and I’ve got anxiety. I don’t want to do nothing to them.”
Derek Chauvin and Tou Thao arrive at the scene shortly after. They finally manage to get Floyd into the car. However, for an unclear reason, he comes out of the passenger side door, still suffocating.
Only a few seconds later, George Floyd can be seen lying on the sidewalk with Chauvin’s knee pressed onto his neck.
Lane and Kueng are also holding him to the ground.
George Floyd repeatedly says he cannot breathe, but his words are left ignored. Shockingly, at one point, he says: “Tell my kids I love them. I’m dead.”
While pressing the helpless man onto the ground, the officers can be heard asking each other if they’re okay. Afterward, Thao expresses suggestions that Floyd may be high. Keung and Lane say they found a weed pipe and there might be something else.
After George Floyd says “I can’t breathe!” again, Kueng tells him he was talking just fine. To this ignorance, Floyd replies:
“I’ll probably just die this way. I’m through. I’m claustrophobic. My stomach hurts. My neck hurts. Everything hurts. I need some water or something, please.”
Image credits: Daily Mail
Chauvin then yells at him: “Then stop talking. Stop yelling. It takes a heck of a lot of oxygen to talk.”
Then, only 8 minutes and 46 seconds after Chauvin first pressed his knee onto Floyd’s neck, the 46-year-old father loses consciousness. By the time the ambulance arrives, Floyd is already dead.
WARNING: The following videos contain disturbing content.
The disturbing bodycam footage revealed by Daily Mail shows in detail the horror George Floyd has been through during the last minutes of his life.

Emily Bailey was led to believe she was suffering from anxiety but in reality, she had a large tumor growing in the left side of her brain, pressing against the nerves while taking control of her hearing and balance.
She said:

She tried doing repositioning exercises, which normally work quite well, as per the NHS, as well as some home remedies, like using an ear candle to take out wax – but nothing seemed to work.
And when her balance became even worse and her hearing started deteriorating in her left ear, she was told she had blocked ears. Nevertheless, she decided to look deeper into the matter.
‘I had a couple of other strange symptoms too, like tinnitus – when you hear a near-constant ringing – when I lay down,’ Emily said. ‘I also began to lose my taste and the left side of my tongue almost felt tingly.’

And because of the tricky position of the tumor, surgery was the only option, which understandably Emily found ‘terrifying.’
She went on saying:
‘I got it into my head that I was going to be put to sleep by doctors and would never wake up.’
Last March, Emily went to Cambridge’s Addenbrookes Hospital for surgery to remove the tumor but was not allowed to have any loved ones with her due to the coronavirus situation.
Emily said:
‘They said the operation would take about eight hours, but it ended up taking 12, as it was more complicated than they’d thought,.’ ‘My poor family were beside themselves thinking something had gone wrong.’

A couple of months after the operation, Emily says she is finally anxiety-free and is gradually getting off anti-depressants.
She added:

Shortly after US President Donald Trump’s tweeted “OPEN THE SCHOOLS!!” last Tuesday the private school of his youngest son goes on to choose not to re-open for in-person lessons as of yet.
In a letter sent out to families, St. Andrew’s Episcopal School head of school Robert Kosasky said the K-12 school will open for lessons in September but only on a virtual basis.
OPEN THE SCHOOLS!!! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 4, 2020
Barron Trump has been a pupil at the said school, which is situated in Maryland, Washington, DC, since 2017. He is about to start 9th grade this year.
Kosasky revealed that St. Andrew’s will follow the strict order sent out on Friday by a Montgomery County, Maryland, health official, which states that private schools are not permitted to open for regular lessons until at least October 1.
Last Monday, Larry Hogan, the governor of Maryland, overruled the county’s decision with an emergency amendment stating it could be the choice of individual private schools to determine when and in what capacity they should open.
My daughter who is 12 is begging to go back to school. She has become extremely depressed during all of this. These parents that want to keep their kids home – go ahead but I pay taxes and my child needs to be in school. For her own health. — Jennifer Sullivan (@sullysuffolk) August 5, 2020
Kosasky’s message to families shows that St. Andrew’s has chosen to opt for the county’s suggestion instead of the state’s.
“[The Montgomery County] directive aligns with our most current thinking about how to open school well in September while protecting the health of our students, families, and employees,” the letter reads. https://twitter.com/dbongino/status/1290734037527678976
The county’s cases of coronavirus are currently at almost 18,000, with more than 750 losses of life, as per their official website.
Baron Trump's school is doing e- learning. Why doesn't Trump demand that his school open too? https://t.co/vL58ujlHwz — Frito_Pie (@SublimeToker) August 5, 2020
For a long time now, Trump has been very keen on opening the country’s schools for regular lessons this fall, but the administration has yet to bring forward a detailed plan to do so in a safe manner, as the crisis continues ravaging the United States.

The police explained that they had mistaken the SUV for a stolen vehicle.
The family was held at gunpoint as the police believed the SUV was a stolen vehicle; this mix-up was due to an ongoing investigation of a stolen motorcycle with the same license plate from a different state. In addition to this, the family’s SUV had also been reported stolen earlier this year, although it had been found the next day.
Not surprisingly, people are outraged at this incident, which driver Brittney Gilliam labeled as a case of police brutality. What is more, this is not the first time Aurora PD have been accused of unjust violence and police brutality; nearly a year ago, on August 24, 2019, Elijah McClain died after an encounter with the Aurora police.
Chief Vanessa Wilson of Aurora PD issued a statement regarding the incident, apologizing to the Gilliam family:

Every single police officer here should be fired. Every single supervisor should be fired. Let them all sue to get their jobs back.

At the end of the study , these percentages decreased as they dropped to 18 % and 12 % respectively .
Even though the percentages dropped , the hierarchy was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is more important than the partner .

Samantha Joel and her colleagues used over 11,000 couples for the study; they also drew information from 43 different data sets and tracked their relationships for around a year. The study looked at numerous variables as it analysed both individual characteristics and relationship-related characteristics. The individual characteristics consisted of age, income, gender and personality traits, whereas relationship-related characteristics included affection and support, among others.
Initially, the study revealed that the relationship-related characteristics account for about 45% of the success and satisfaction in a relationship. Additionally, it showed that the individual characteristics accounted for only 21%. At the end of the study, these percentages decreased as they dropped to 18% and 12% respectively. Even though the percentages dropped, the hierarchy was maintained, thereby illustrating that the partnership is more important than the partner.
The following characteristics are ranked as being most successful in predicting the quality of a relationship (as reported by CNN):
Top 5 relationship-related characteristics:
Perceived partner commitment Appreciation Sexual satisfaction Perceived partner satisfaction Conflict
Top 5 individual characteristics:
Life satisfaction Negative affect Depression Attachment avoidance Attachment anxiety
In other words, a relationship’s success does not depend solely on the individual; in fact, it depends less on the individual than it does on the dynamics between the two partners. The person is not nearly as important as the way they make you feel in the partnership and vice versa. Do they make you feel secure? Do they make you feel appreciated? Do they make you feel satisfied in your relationship? These are the things that matter.


iheartintelligence--2020-08-05--Introverts don’t hate people, they just can’t stand shallow socializing

If you ’ re an extrovert , surrounded by other open-minded extroverts , you would probably assume that introverts hate people .
You would perceive their quietness for rudeness , their shyness for arrogance , and their modesty for vanity .
But if you know a little something about the introverts ’ nature , or you are one yourself , then you would know that they don ’ t hate people .
In other words , introverts can ’ t stand pretending to be enjoying a trivial conversation .
This doesn ’ t mean they despise people , or they @ @ @ @ @ @ @ It means they would rather engage in deep , meaningful conversations , rather than shallow small talks .
The “ I ’ m too cool to talk to you ” persona has nothing to do with the nature of a real introvert .

What they don ’ t see is that this persona actually serves as a coping mechanism .
It is much easier to say you don ’ t like people than to admit you find a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ senseless .
So instead of expressing their true feelings about the triviality of social gatherings , when they actually attend one , introverts prefer to talk to the cat or pet the dog .
At least the pets won ’ t put them in awkward situations or pressure them to talk about the weather .
Literally , anything is better than small talk .
However , avoiding awkward chats about how hot it gets this time of the year doesn ’ t mean hating people .
It means preferring to occupy your mind @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Sadly , many people fail to understand this .

But no one can blame them .
The truth is , only a real introvert can see through this coping mechanism .

But how could you talk to someone about your future goals , your wildest dreams @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you don ’ t start with a simple small talk ?
To understand better why introverts are like that , you need to try thinking like one .
Imagine having to do something that you know is going to be beneficial for you in the long run , but isn ’ t quite pleasing at the moment .
That ’ s how introverts see socializing .
They know it ’ s good for them , as it would help them meet other people and expand their tiny inner circle , but they simply @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a meaningless conversation about sports or celebrity gossip .

Me neither .
It ’ s simple as that .

Are you still having doubts about socializing?

If you take your time to reflect on that thought, you would surely realize that some people are worth the mini anxiety attack you feel when it gets to having a small talk with a stranger. While establishing a strong connection with someone is rare, it’s definitely worth the shot.
Surely, meeting someone with the same level of sensitivity and compassion as you doesn’t happen every day. Not every conversation has to be life-changing. Not every person you meet is there to stay.
