DEAD DOGS FOUND IN FREEZER IN PENNSYLVANIA

This reporting from local ABC affiliate WNEP 16


Investigators found what they call deplorable conditions inside a home where state police seized close to 20 dogs and found three that were dead.
Those three dead dogs were found in a freezer on the property in Susquehanna County. Police took 17 other dogs from the home on Muckey Run Road in Liberty Township, near the New York State line 
Troopers say some of the animals seized from that home were initially taken to Griffin Pond Animal Shelter after living in filth.
Authorities said the floors were covered in animal waste. A garage on the property recently burned.
Investigators say the owner of those dogs is self-proclaimed dog breeder Amber Darrow.
A humane officer describes the dogs seized from Darrow’s home as small and medium size and veterinarians are working to heal lesions and skin infections found on the dogs.
Police say they also discovered three dead dogs that were being stored inside a kitchen freezer in the home. 
Investigators said Darrow had methamphetamine and other drug items with her.
According to police paperwork, Darrow is facing animal cruelty, neglect, and drug charges right now. It is unclear if she is in police custody.
Humane officers at Griffin pond Say the animals are being moved to an undisclosed location for safety reasons.

The Red Sox beat the Blue Jays 7-6

The kids aren't alright..

The Associated Press is reporting this dispatch...

The number of young kids who went to U.S. emergency rooms because they swallowed toys, coins, batteries and other objects has nearly doubled, a new study says.

In 2015, there were nearly 43,000 such visits among kids under 6, compared with 22,000 in 1995, according to the study published Friday in the journal Pediatrics. The rate jumped from almost 10 per 10,000 ER visits to 18 per 10,000.

The increase "rang some alarms," said Dr. Danielle Orsagh-Yentis, the lead author and a gastrointestinal physician at Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus, Ohio..

Disney dominator? Stocks soaring on a streaming service that is cheaper than Netflix

...and Netflix just raised prices, don't forget..

Disney shares jumped on Friday after the company announced its Disney+ video streaming service would be $6.99 a month, two dollars a month cheaper than Netflix’s basic subscription.

“I’m pretty optimistic about the ability for this thing to work. Particularly when you make it accessible because of the content we’re putting on, because of the user interface and because of the price,” CEO Bob Iger told CNBC’s David Faber in an interview Thursday.


Shares of Disney surged 9% in morning trading on Friday, on pace for its best day since May 2009. Netflix shares traded lower by more than 3% on Friday.


Back in 1994 Disney had a dilemma.. those days are over now..

NOSTALGIA 2019: AMERICAN HORROR STORY GOES BACK TO 1984

Amazon Workers Are Listening to What You Tell Alexa!

The listening team is comprised of part-time contractors and full-time Amazon employees based all over the world; including India, Romania, Boston and Costa Rica.

Listeners work nine hour shifts, with each reviewing as many as 1,000 audio clips per shift according to two employees from Amazon’s Bucharest office - located in the top three floors of the Romanian capital’s Globalworth building. The location “stands out amid the crumbling infrastructure” of the Pipera district and “bears no exterior sign advertising Amazon’s presence.”

While much of the work is boring (one worker said his job was to mine for accumulated voice data for specific phrases such as “Taylor Swift” - letting the system know that the searcher was looking for the artist), reviewers are also listening on people’s most personal moments.

Police: Man buys $8 million island then steals from Kmart

Dumb criminal category for sure.. but maybe a whole new category needs to be dedicated to this?
More..
A man who had just bought an $8 million island off of Key West was arrested Saturday for participating in what police described as a scheme to steal $300 in household items from Kmart.

Officials at Kmart called Key West police April 5 after they say Andrew Francis Lippi, 59, had purchased several items, including a Keurig coffeemaker and light bulbs, and returned the original boxes for a refund. But police say the boxes were stuffed with other items. For example, store officials said a basketball was inside the Keurig box.

Massive gas explosion kills and injures in North Carolina

A stark reminder to call 811 before you dig... a massive gas line explosion in North Carolina has caused at least one death and several injuries..








And it’s a tragic situation..

More..

Zoldos said the cause of the explosion was still under investigation. A contractor boring under a sidewalk had hit a 2-inch (5-centimeter) gas line, causing the leak, Durham Police Department spokesman Wil Glenn said. Glenn linked the boring work to the explosion during a morning briefing, but Zoldos later said the cause was still under investigation.

Dominion Energy said in a press release Wednesday that subsidiary company PSNC Energy had received a call about "third-party" damage to a natural gas line in Durham. A PSNC worker responded, and the explosion "occurred shortly thereafter." The company said additional crews arrived and shut off the gas.

Deputy City Manager Bo Ferguson said boring for a fiber communications network had been underway in the area, but city officials were working to confirm that and couldn't release the name of the contractor.

Blocks away, the blast shattered windows and blew at least one door off its hinges in the Brightleaf shopping district. Ed Rains was on a nearby street and couldn't see the blast but heard it. "I thought someone had dropped a dumpster on the street," he said.

Tracy Telenko was at his desk in his third-floor Durham office when he heard the explosion and saw black smoke billowing up.

EVIDENCE OF NEW HUMAN SPECIES REVEALED!

An amazing day of science...



From the WALL STREET JOURNAL:

In a handful of fossilized teeth and bones, scientists say they’ve found evidence of a previously unknown human species that lived in what is now the Philippines about 50,000 years ago. The discovery deepens the mystery of an era when the world was a melting pot of many different human kinds on the move.
Small-jawed with dainty teeth, able to walk upright but with feet still shaped to climb, these island creatures were a mix-and-match patchwork of primitive and advanced features in a unique variation of the human form, the scientists reported Wednesday in the journal Nature.


MORE..

The researchers formally named the newly discovered species Homo luzonensis in honor of the island where they found it. They unearthed the fossils from the floor of an immense limestone cavern called Callao Cave.

THE BLACK HOLE REVEALED!



Astronomers announced on Wednesday that at last they had seen the unseeable: a black hole, a cosmic abyss so deep and dense that not even light can escape it.

“We’ve exposed a part of our universe we’ve never seen before,” said Shep Doeleman, an astronomer at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, and director of the effort to capture the image, during a Wednesday news conference in Washington, D.C.

To capture the image, astronomers reached across intergalactic space to a giant galaxy in Virgo, known as Messier 87. There, a black hole about seven billion times more massive than the sun is unleashing a violent jet of energy some 5,000 light years into space.

MAY DAY IN UK! WEB CRACKDOWN ON THE WAY!

While interest groups who campaign against cyber bullying and child pornography are applauding upcoming web changes in the UK, others are becoming fearful of how far the government will regulate..

There are coming changes to the online world in Europe.. Great Britain’s Prime Minister Theresa May said that the era of self regulation is over.. Cyber bullying and porn online has become too free.. too much... the government, the citizens of the UK are told, is the onl group of honest barrons who can save the citizens from the freedoms of their speech..

A white paper on online harms, published jointly by the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) and the Home Office, proposes strict new rules be introduced that require firms to take responsibility for their users and their safety, as well as the content that appears on their services.
Overseen by an independent regulator, internet companies which break these rules could even see senior management held personally liable for the failings.

A newly introduced duty of care would require firms to take more responsibility for the safety of users and more actively tackle the harm caused by content or activity on their platforms.
MORE...

There is an upcoming “12 week consultation” for the plans.. 

They would apply to ANY COMPANY that allows users to share data... share posts.. 

Facebook and others would face huge fines and penalties for the allowance of users to share suicide or self-harm posts../ And most likely much more as time goes on.

Just as price increases by governments get passed down to citizens who pay prices to private firms, this will work the same.

Social platforms have already increasingly regulated speech of its users—they have the privacy policies that allow it... and in a sense freedom of speech does not apply when a private company is your platform ... the government is not regulating YOU.. but THEM.. AND they will have the freedom to regulate your freedom.

See? This is how it works in the gutters of the socials... in a world where we gave all of our freedom and rights and photographs to a corporate social structure that now will be highly regulated by the government of the UK in a Chinese style of censorship.

In the name of consumer mental health and safety...In the name of a good deed....
