Bridge collapse victim's uncle rages at 'incompetence'-[The Canadian Press]-YAHOONEWS-March 19, 2018
MIAMI
— As crews began removing bodies from beneath a collapsed pedestrian
bridge Saturday, a victim's uncle raged against what he called the
"complete incompetence" and "colossal failure" that allowed people to
drive beneath the unfinished concrete span."Why they had to build this
monstrosity in the first place to get children across the street?" said
an anguished Joe Smitha, whose niece, Alexa Duran, was crushed in
Thursday's collapse at Florida International University. "Then they
decided to stress test this bridge while traffic was running underneath
it?"Authorities say six people were killed when the structure fell onto a
busy six-lane road connecting the campus to the community of
Sweetwater. Crews removed two cars Saturday morning and said they found
three bodies, but officials said there were still at least two more
victims beneath the rubble. Late in the day they recovered a third car,
and Saturday night they said they believed all victims had been
found.The Miami-Dade Police Department confirmed the names of four
victims Saturday.Rolando Fraga Hernandez and his gold Jeep Cherokee were
pulled from the wreckage Saturday. Later, the bodies of Oswald
Gonzalez, 57, and Alberto Arias, 54, were found inside a white Chevy
truck.Navarro Brown was pulled from the rubble Thursday and later died
at the hospital.Authorities have not released Duran's name, but her
family has said she died. The FIU freshman was studying political
science.The National Transportation Safety Board has confirmed that
crews were applying what's known as "post-tensioning force" on the
bridge before the failure. Authorities are investigating whether
cracking that was reported just before the span fell contributed to the
accident.Experts interviewed by The Associated Press were mixed on the
significance of those reported cracks.Amjad Aref, a professor with the
University of Buffalo's Institute of Bridge Engineering, said they
should have been "a big red flag.""Bridges are really very vulnerable
when they are under construction, when there are just pieces," he said.
"It's like still a flimsy structure. And when you see cracks, somebody
has to raise really a big flag and say, 'We need to do something. We
need to figure out what's happening quickly and do any mitigating
actions to prevent further progression of damage and ultimately
collapse,' as we saw here."But Ralph Verrastro, principle of
Naples-based Bridging Solutions, was not surprised to hear about cracks,
and said it was not necessarily a problem."Any bridge with concrete,
that's made of concrete, there's always cracks," said Verrastro, who has
been an engineer for 42 years. "If they had concerns that something was
going on for that main span, then they would have called the sheriff or
the police and closed the road. I would be very surprised if it's
determined that they were taking a chance and trying to do something
under traffic. It's just, as bridge engineers, that's just never
done."Two days before the collapse, an engineer with the design firm
left a voicemail to say some cracking had been found at one end of the
concrete span, but the voicemail wasn't picked up until after the
collapse, Florida Department of Transportation officials said Friday. In
a transcript released Friday night, Denney Pate with FIGG Bridge Group
said the cracking would need repairs but the company didn't think it was
a safety issue.University officials, however, said Saturday that DOT
officials had been aware of the cracking before the collapse. They said
in a statement that representatives of FIU and DOT met with a FIGG
engineer for two hours Thursday morning to discuss the cracking, and
determined there wasn't a safety issue. The bridge fell soon
afterward."The FIGG engineer of record delivered a technical
presentation regarding the crack and concluded that there were no safety
concerns and the crack did not compromise the structural integrity of
the bridge," FIU said.NTSB officials have said it's too early to say
whether any cracking contributed to the collapse.In a news release late
Friday, FIGG Bridge Engineers said it "continues to work diligently" to
determine the cause of the collapse, and is examining the steps its team
has taken. It added, "The evaluation was based on the best available
information at that time and indicated that there were no safety
issues." It also asked for time to accurately determine what led to the
accident.Scheduled to open in 2019, the bridge was to provide safe
passage over a canal and six lanes of traffic, a showpiece architectural
feature connecting the campus with Sweetwater. The $14.2 million
project was supposed to take advantage of a faster, cheaper and safer
method of bridge-building promoted by the university.Early renderings
online appeared to show what's called a "cable-stayed" structure
supported by cables hanging from a central tower. However, a spokesman
for FIGG said Saturday the bridge that was being built actually had
built-in trusses."It is a truss bridge with above deck truss elements
which, from an engineering perspective, is very different than a
cable-stayed bridge," FIGG spokeswoman Cheryl Stopnick said in an
email.Verrastro said there may have been enough support in place at the
time. He said these projects are constructed with "very specific
sequencing" and phases."This was designed to support itself — that was
the beauty of the design, I'm sure," he said. "You didn't need temporary
supports. It saves money. It's safer, because if you put temporary
supports, you have to block the road and the traffic would be a mess and
it would be in the way. So I'm sure that was all thought
through."Smitha, Duran's uncle, can't help but believe that this tragedy
could have been avoided."This was a colossal failure of the system," he
said. "This was complete incompetence from the top ... I want someone
to step up and say, 'The buck stops with me.'"___Associated Press

In Parkland, students turn to each other to cope with tragedy-[CBC]-YAHOONEWS-March 19, 2018
Nikhita
Nookala didn't know Meadow Pollack, one of the victims of last month's
shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas, but she says writing about her
life for a memorial issue of the school paper has been an emotional
experience. "Reading through all the stories that her friends have told
me, she seems like someone I could have been friends with, she liked the
same things I did," said the 17-year old senior who writes for the
school paper, the Eagle Eye.She says learning about Pollack's life has
stirred complicated feelings. A month after the mass shooting in
Parkland Florida, emotions are still raw and for Nookala, the event
still doesn't feel real."I feel like I still haven't really accepted
that there's been a shooting at Douglas and all of this happening, it
feels like the shooting was yesterday." she said.Christy Ma also writes
for the paper. The day after the shooting, she and Nookala were assigned
to write about the event and the vigil the next day."That actually took
a few days to write because of how how soon everything was and how we
were feeling," the 18-year old said. "If you notice, I mean if you look
online, the posting is actually a few days after the vigil."-Counsellors
and therapy animals-In the month since the shooting, she says every
student is handling things differently. Upon their return to school
there were counsellors and therapy animals to help students transition
back to the classroom."It was like a petting zoo. Basically there were
therapy dogs. There were, like, goats, like a donkey or a horse. It was
pretty crazy; it almost looked like a circus at school," she said. Ma
says while some students have chosen to channel their emotions towards
activism, others have retreated from the spotlight. In her case, she
says she's just trying to keep busy. "I think just trying not to think
too long on the negative aspects but trying to look forward to my future
and how I can make an impact now is something that's been helping me
cope," she said.Immersing themselves in the memorial issue is a healthy
way to cope, says Dr. Katy Kamkar, a clinical psychologist at the Centre
for Addiction and Mental Health in Toronto. She says students are
collectively mourning, so working together can help them move forward
and heal. "If collectively they are able to get an activity that
provides them with a sense of meaning, that helps them to put sense into
something that we know doesn't make any sense …then it's important for
them to engage in that," she said.Hard to write about-Ma is profiling
17-year old victim Nicholas Dworet for the memorial edition. Like
Nookala, she didn't know her subject personally, but after meeting with
his family and close friends, she feels a connection."I'm not going to
lie - I started crying when I was writing the article. It was hard to
write and I still get emotional a little bit talking about it, but I'm
really glad I had the opportunity to honour him," she said.Student
Richard Doan is profiling 15-year old victim Peter Wang. He says writing
about a fellow student, while also speaking out for gun control, has
been his way of coping with the tragedy."Being politically active,
talking to media, letting everyone know what happened here, just sharing
our message helps a lot," he said. The newspaper students are headed to
Washington next weekend to cover the March for Our Lives rally for gun
control that their fellow students are organizing. They've got major
news organizations on board to sponsor their trip and they'll have
backstage access. It's an amazing opportunity, but one Nookala says
brings up an unexpected emotion: guilt.Dealing with survivor's
guilt-"This wouldn't have happened and we wouldn't have gotten this
opportunity if 17 people weren't shot in school," Nookala said.Kamkar
says survivor's guilt is normal in this situation. She says whether it's
writing for the newspaper or organizing a rally, having the students
together provides a safe environment for students to open up and share
their feelings. "It's important not to be afraid of our thoughts, not to
be afraid of our emotions. These are normal reactions," she
said.Nookala said she's trying not to dwell on that feeling of
guilt."It's better to just accept it and enjoy what we have and move on
because there's no point in dwelling over things that are already done."

Britain
accuses Russia of secretly stockpiling deadly nerve agent used in
attack-[Reuters]-By Andrew MacAskill-YAHOONEWS-ReutersMarch 19, 2018
LONDON
(Reuters) - British Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson said on Sunday that
Russia has been stockpiling the deadly nerve agent used to poison a
Russian former double agent in England and has been investigating how
such weapons can be used in assassinations.Britain has said Russia used
the Soviet-era nerve agent called Novichok to attack Sergei Skripal and
his daughter Yulia in the first known offensive use of such a weapon on
European soil since World War Two. Russia has denied any involvement."We
actually have evidence within the last 10 years that Russia has not
only been investigating the delivery of nerve agents for the purposes of
assassination, but has also been creating and stockpiling Novichok,"
Johnson told the BBC.The identification of Novichok as the weapon has
become the central pillar of Britain's case for Russia's culpability in
the poisoning. Britain and Russia have each expelled 23 diplomats over
the attack as relations between the two countries reach a post-Cold War
low.Skripal, a former colonel in Russian military intelligence who
betrayed dozens of Russian agents to Britain, and his daughter are
fighting for their lives after they were found collapsed on a bench in
the city of Salisbury two weeks ago.Officials from the world's chemical
weapons watchdog will arrive in Britain on Monday to investigate the
samples used in the attack and the results should be known in about two
weeks, Britain's foreign ministry said.The foreign ministry said that if
Russia has been stockpiling nerve agents this would amount to a
violation of the Chemical Weapons Convention, of which Moscow is a
signatory.Russia's ambassador to the European Union Vladimir Chizhov
told the same program that his country has destroyed its reserves of
such substances and a British research laboratory could be the source of
the nerve agent used in the attack.Johnson dismissed those claims and
said Russia's reaction "was not the response of a country that really
believes itself to be innocent"."Their response has been a mix of smug
sarcasm and denial and obfuscation," he said.Skripal and his daughter
may have been exposed to the nerve agent used in their attempted
assassination through his car ventilation system, intelligence sources
told the US television channel ABC news.The sources said the toxin was
used in a "dust-like powdered form" and that it circulated through the
vents of the car, the channel said.Johnson said Britain's National
Security Council will meet later this week to decide "what further
measures, if any" may be taken, and that the government may decide to
target Russian wealth in Britain.The British capital has been dubbed
"Londongrad" due to the large quantities of Russian money that have
poured in since the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991.Some British
lawmakers have urged Prime Minister Theresa May to freeze the private
assets of senior members in Russian President Vladimir Putin's
circle.Putin is expected to easily win a presidential election on Sunday
which would take him to nearly a quarter of a century in
power.(Reporting By Andrew MacAskill; Editing by Catherine Evans and

Pope pays tribute to mystic monk said to have wrestled with the Devil-[Reuters]-By Philip Pullella-YAHOONEWS-March 19, 2018
SAN
GIOVANNI ROTONDO, Italy (Reuters) - Pope Francis prayed on Saturday
before the body of one of Catholicism's most popular saints, Padre Pio, a
mystic monk who is said to have wrestled with the Devil.It was Francis'
first visit as pope to this hill town in southern Italy that is a main
stop along the country's pilgrim route linking places where saints are
buried.The bearded Capuchin monk, who died in 1968 after spending most
of his life here, is said by the Catholic Church to have had the
"stigmata" - the bleeding wounds of Jesus on his hands and feet. He wore
brown half-gloves to cover the wounds and absorb the blood from his
palms.Many people said Pio knew what they were about to confess. He is
said to have told then-bishop Karol Wojytla of Poland in the mid-1960s
that he would become pope. Wojtyla became Pope John Paul in 1978 and in
2002 declared Pio a saint.Padre Pio's biographers say he wrestled with
the Devil regularly in his cell in a small monastery that is now the
centerpiece of a sprawling complex receiving more than a million
pilgrims a year.Francis made a reference to Pio's battles with the Devil
earlier on Saturday when he visited Pietrelcina, the village where Pio
was born in 1887."His soul was greatly tormented," Francis said in
improvised remarks. "He felt assailed by the Devil."-PILGRIM
TRADE-According to monks, the last demonic tussle was in 1964, when they
heard him calling from his cell at night.They found him on the floor,
his forehead split open. He told them "The Devil tried to scratch out my
eyes."The next day, the Devil is said to have spoken through a
possessed person, saying "I went to visit somebody. I took
revenge."Pio's body was exhumed in 2008 and partially reconstructed with
a life-like silicone mask. It is preserved in a temperature-controlled
glass coffin. Pilgrims toss money and notes to the saint over a
wrought-iron fence.Thousands of Padre Pio prayer groups exist around the
world. One group came from Nashville in the United States.Pio's fame as
a mystic grew in the first half of the 20th century and the town
expanded with it, making the pilgrim trade the heart of its economy.
Former grazing lands are now dotted with hotels.Souvenir stalls sell
everything from cheap Padre Pio key chains to life-size statues of the
saint costing thousands of euros.(Reporting by Philip Pullella; Editing

Vatican 'Lettergate' scandal comes to a head as text released-[Reuters]-By Philip Pullella-YAHOONEWS-March 19, 2018
VATICAN
CITY (Reuters) - The Vatican "Lettergate" scandal came to a head on
Saturday when the Holy See, under pressure from the media and
conservatives, released a full text by former Pope Benedict that before
was cited only selectively.The Vatican Secretariat for Communication,
which had come under sharp criticism all week for blurring part of a
photograph of the letter and for withholding another section, said in a
statement there had been "no intent of censorship".It said the letter,
written for the presentation of a Vatican-published 11-booklet series on
the theology of Pope Francis, was private and therefore officials had
cited only the "opportune and relative" parts.But the episode, which has
cast a shadow over the Vatican for a week, has proven to be a public
relations fiasco, particularly for its communications chief, Monsignor
Dario Vigano.At the book presentation on Monday, Vigano read out the
parts of the letter in which Benedict rejected the "stupid prejudice" of
those who say Francis' theology is lacking.Benedict also disputed
suggestions by conservatives that Francis' academic qualities were
lacking, praising his successor as a "man of deep philosophical and
theological formation" and finding an "interior continuity between the
two pontificates".But a press release handed out at the event omitted a
paragraph in which Benedict apologized for not having had the time to
read all 11 volumes and thus declining a request to write a "short and
dense theological" introduction for the series.The final paragraph,
released for the first time on Saturday, went further, showing that
Benedict was irritated by the fact German theologian Peter Hunermann had
been chosen by the Vatican publishing house LEV to write one of the
volumes.Hunermann, Benedict noted had "led anti-papal initiatives"
during Benedict's 2005-2013 papacy and had also attacked some of the
writings of Pope John Paul II, who died in 2005."I am certain that you
will understand my denial (of the request to write an introduction),"
Benedict tells Vigano.Luis Badilla, who writes for the
Vatican-affiliated website Il Sismografo, issued a thinly veiled call
for Vigano's head, calling the whole episode "a gigantic mess". In an
editorial on Saturday, Badilla said Vigano and the head of the Vatican's
publishing house, Father Bruno Cesareo, "have some explaining to do"
and that "consequences must be drawn".Conservative critics of Francis
saw the blurring and the selective citings from the letter as part of a
plot to censor the thoughts of the former pope.Many conservative
Catholics still look up to Benedict as a bulwark against liberals, and
have lambasted Francis for being too lenient on divorced Catholics and
homosexuals.(Reporting By Philip Pullella; Editing by Chris Reese)
Uncertainty dogs faith-based organizations applying for federal funding-[The Canadian Press]-YAHOONEWS-March 19, 2018
OTTAWA
— It was Valentine's Day when an Alberta church was told its
application for Canada Summer Jobs program funding wasn't complete. The
"I attest" box on the application had to be checked and the document
signed, North Pointe community church was told.Except it was.What
happened to the Edmonton-area church is a result of what critics say is
the government's hard line on its insistence that groups must attest to
respect for reproductive rights, including abortion, to be eligible for
funding through the popular program.Applicants who express concern about
the policy change are deemed not to have met the new requirement — even
if they've checked all the right boxes and signed all the right
forms.As a result, many faith-based groups are in limbo as they await
the outcome of their applications for funding that were approved in
previous years."Anyone who raises objections to the attestation in the
context of their application is having their application deemed
incomplete, which suggests that it's not about actions, it's also about
the values of the group," said Conservative MP Garnett Genuis, who has
held town halls in Atlantic Canada this past week on the issue.The
Liberals added stipulations this year that jobs being funded, as well as
groups' core mandates, must respect reproductive rights. The government
said it did so in response to concerns officials heard that funding
through the popular jobs program paid for students to protest outside
abortion clinics or have students create and distribute graphic
anti-abortion pamphlets.Labour Minister Patty Hajdu has also said she
heard complaints about funds going to summer camps that refuse to hire
LGBTQ staff."It's one thing if they want you to say you'll obey the law.
That seems like a no-brainer and we had no objection to any of that
kind of stuff. We're not interested in infringing on other people's
freedoms. That's not who we are," said Pastor Bob Davies from Kanata
Baptist Church outside Ottawa."The question really was, do we make some
positive attestation that sounds like we mean things we don't mean?"As a
result, many faith-based groups have crossed out the wording on the
form they found problematic, or didn't check the box confirming their
agreement to the stipulations. Program officials have deemed these
applications as incomplete.North Pointe church provided a cover letter
on its application saying it would uphold Canadian law, including human
rights law, but questioned the additional wording in the declaration and
asked the government to accept the application with the words in the
letter substituting for the wording in the application.The church
checked the "I attest" box, signed the application and didn't make any
changes to the application based on recommendations from the Pentecostal
Assemblies of Canada.On Feb. 14, Service Canada wrote back saying the
declaration "cannot be altered or modified" and that the "I attest" box
needed to be checked and the application signed. North Pointe, like
other groups, was given 10 days to resubmit.A spokesman for Employment
and Social Development Canada, which oversees the program, said any
applications with an unsigned or revised declaration, or any groups that
"wrote to the department expressing concern with the new eligibility
requirement" were deemed to have incomplete applications.North Point's
lead pastor said his church isn't in the public eye as a crusader
against abortion, which is why the church's commentary with the
application didn't want to imply its mandate was anything more than
"sharing Jesus.""There are Christian Organizations that are having a
voice for the unborn," Pastor Bob Jones said, adding that had the
declaration affected only those groups, "it probably would have gone
under my radar.""The fact that it was all-inclusive, I think, caught a
lot of people as this seems like ... hunting a mosquito with a shotgun.
It just hit everybody."MPs return to Parliament on Monday after a
two-week break. And one of their first orders of business will be a vote
on a Conservative motion that says organizations involved "in
non-political, non-activist work" should be eligible for money through
the jobs program, regardless of their beliefs or whether they put a
checkmark on the declaration.The Abortion Rights Coalition of Canada
said in a statement posted online that the Tories are acting in "bad
faith" to undermine the declaration by putting a false spin on the new
requirements. The group blamed the Conservatives for turning the issue
into "a political weapon against the Liberals at the expense of students
hoping to obtain summer jobs."— Follow @jpress on Twitter.Jordan Press,

Christians and Muslims join forces to feed homeless in downtown Montreal-[CBC]-YAHOONEWS-March 19, 2018
On
the third Saturday of every month, members of St. George's Anglican
Church and the Imani Community Centre in Little Burgundy come together
to fill brown paper bags with homemade shawarma, oranges and bottles of
water.Then the volunteers walk around the downtown core, handing out
meals to the city's homeless.It's an initiative that was born out of a
shared desire to do something good and foster an interfaith connection,
said Rev. Steven Mackison.His description of the early interactions
between the two faith groups conjures images of a nervous first date.The
congregation of St. George's invited members of the Imani Community
Centre over for a get-together."We met for the first time here, all on
pins and needles, trying to be our best and most polite possible
selves," he said, "And it went very well."The Imani Community Centre
reciprocated, hosting the Anglican worshippers. By pure happenstance, it
was the same day as the Quebec City mosque shooting that killed six
men."Despite that tragedy, it actually galvanized our sense of mission
and ministry in the importance of doing this project," said Mackison."To
show the world that hate and intolerance will not overshadow our mutual
desire to work together as two faith communities."Musabbir Alam, Imam
at the Imani Community Centre, recalled that the day after the shooting,
Rev. Mackison reached out with a letter of sympathy."It was something
very emotional for us, but knowing they had our back, and we are not in
this alone, even though we are from different faith communities ... It
was something very important, and it gave us the hope that we could do
[things] together, and actually work together to make changes in our
community," said Alam.On the one year anniversary of the collaborative
program, called Meals to the Street, Alam said that they he feels the
united effort has done a great deal of good.Over the last year, they've
prepared about 3,000 shawarmas."To see all these people — we have about
50 volunteers coming and making all the sandwiches and going on the
street — it's a wonderful experience," said Alam.-Building
bridges-During the monthly food preparation and delivery sessions, where
volunteers cut vegetables, shred chicken and wrap shawarmas, people
from both communities are able to work together and even strike up a
friendship.Sarah Faye and Patricia Hamilton have been volunteering with
the Meals to the Streets program since day one."I think we got to know
each other over either shredding chicken or chopping tomatoes," joked
Hamilton. "Because the production line is there, and you just end up
talking and finding out about people. It's great fun."Hamilton said in
her daily life, she doesn't meet many people from the Muslim community
and that getting to know Faye has been a real pleasure.Faye, for her
part, agrees wholeheartedly."Actually, that's one of my favourite parts
too. Because I can meet people I do not meet in my everyday life. And
then we get to know each other and know that we are just the same."

Wanted: Witches and wizards for Hogwarts summer school-[CBC]-YAHOONEWS-March 19, 2018
A
15-year-old Harry Potter fanatic is organizing an immersive summer camp
for teens and tweens that strives to bring the magical world of
Hogwarts to life.Campers can dress up like Dumbledore and Snape, help
dwarfs find their lost wands, and maybe even play a game or two of
quidditch. The Hogwarts summer school is being planned for Shawnigan
Lake, on Vancouver Island, says teenage camp coordinator Maddy
Kirstein.A Grade 10 student at the Pacific School of Innovation and
Inquiry — a high school in Victoria — Kirstein describes the camp as a
three-day immersive experience involving live-action and role
playing."That means you will be in a world that we have created, that
J.K. Rowling created," Kirstein said."And this is a tribute to Harry
Potter because we love Harry Potter."The camp will not only be a chance
to dress up like a character from Harry Potter, but also to attend
Hogwarts-style classes."There is defence against the dark arts, there
are charms, there is transfiguration, there are so many," Kirstein
said."And the quests are my favourite part."The camp was originally
planned for 14- to 17-year-olds, but Kirstein says she heard from
parents who wanted to send younger children.In response, she expanded
the camp to include kids as young as 11.Kirstein is running a GoFundMe
campaign to raise funds to rent Shawnigan Lake School for the camp.She
says she is also still looking for volunteers to play dwarfs, elves and
goblins.Kirstein is creating the summer camp with fellow student, Willow
Hanuse, but adults are overseeing the creation of the camp. There will
also be adult supervision at the camp to fulfil both legal and safety
requirements.Kirstein describes the camp as magical."You just go and
make friends and you can hang out," Kirstein said."You [would] just
basically be at Hogwarts for three days."

Why an Ottawa professor says pimps keep sex workers safe-[CBC]-YAHOONEWS-March 19, 2018
Pimps
are necessary in arranging safe and efficient transactions between sex
workers and clients, according to a University of Ottawa professor who
says their work should be decriminalized in Canada."The sex industry,
like mainstream businesses, rarely depends exclusively on clients and
workers to operate efficiently and safely," professor Chris Bruckert
told CBC Radio's Ottawa Morning Tuesday."Contrary to prevailing
stereotypes that portray third parties [like pimps] as inherently
abusive and controlling, these workers fulfill important roles and
provide vital services."Bruckert and her team of researchers conducted
interviews with 75 pimps — or "third-party" workers, as she prefers to
call them — as well as 52 sex workers for her new book Getting Past "the
Pimp": Management in the Sex Industry.The interviews included people
from across the country, including Ottawa.Constitutional challenge-The
national debate around prostitution laws is intensifying as a court in
London, Ont. hears a constitutional challenge against Canada's 2014
prostitution law Bill C-36 — which criminalizes the buying of sex but
decriminalizes its sale.The laws also prosecute those who advertise sex
work and make money off sex workers.Bruckert said that little research
has been conducted on the role of pimps in the industry, adding that
many people's opinions are based on stereotypes. "Abuse wasn't something
we came across — but we did find bad labour practices," she said. "What
we need in that context is labour rights, not necessarily criminal
laws."The problem, Bruckert said, is that sex workers have no mechanism
to redress labour exploitation outside of criminal law.Most of the
third-party workers Bruckert's team spoke to were women — both
surprising and understandable, she said, since the industry is
female-dominated and the line between sex work and management is
thin."Many of the third-parties we interviewed were current or former
sex workers, [which] kind of makes sense. You move into the business
that you know," she said. 'Echoes any other business' The other
unexpected finding, she said, was how similar the sex trade was to any
other business."[It's surprising] how absolutely mundane management in
the sex industry is [and] how much it echoes any other business,"
Bruckert said."There is marketing, there are security concerns — many of
the challenges that any other small business operator would
confront.""We don't need special laws to criminalize the sex industry,"
she added. "And particularly not third parties."
Facebook critics want regulation, investigation after data misuse-[Reuters]-By David Ingram-YAHOONEWS-March 19, 2018
SAN
FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Facebook Inc faced new calls for regulation from
within U.S. Congress and was hit with questions about personal data
safeguards on Saturday after reports a political consultant gained
inappropriate access to 50 million users' data starting in 2014.Facebook
disclosed the issue in a blog post on Friday, hours before media
reports that conservative-leaning Cambridge Analytica, a data company
known for its work on Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign, was
given access to the data and may not have deleted it.The scrutiny
presented a new threat to Facebook's reputation, which was already under
attack over Russians' alleged use of Facebook tools to sway American
voters before and after the 2016 U.S. elections."It's clear these
platforms can't police themselves," Democratic U.S. Senator Amy
Klobuchar tweeted."They say 'trust us.' Mark Zuckerberg needs to testify
before Senate Judiciary," she added, referring to Facebook's CEO and a
committee she sits on.Facebook said the root of the problem was that
researchers and Cambridge Analytica lied to it and abused its policies,
but critics on Saturday threw blame at Facebook as well, demanding
answers on behalf of users and calling for new regulation.Facebook
insisted the data was misused but not stolen, because users gave
permission, sparking a debate about what constitutes a hack that must be
disclosed to customers."The lid is being opened on the black box of
Facebook's data practices, and the picture is not pretty," said Frank
Pasquale, a University of Maryland law professor who has written about
Silicon Valley's use of data.Pasquale said Facebook's response that data
had not technically been stolen seemed to obfuscate the central issue
that data was apparently used in a way contrary to the expectations of
users."It amazes me that they are trying to make this about
nomenclature. I guess that's all they have left," he said.Democratic
U.S. Senator Mark Warner said the episode bolstered the need for new
regulations about internet advertising, describing the industry as the
"Wild West.""Whether it's allowing Russians to purchase political ads,
or extensive micro-targeting based on ill-gotten user data, it's clear
that, left unregulated, this market will continue to be prone to
deception and lacking in transparency," he said.With Republicans
controlling the Senate's majority, though, it was not clear if Klobuchar
and Warner would prevail.The New York Times and London's Observer
reported on Saturday that private information from more than 50 million
Facebook users improperly ended up in the hands of Cambridge Analytica,
and the information has not been deleted despite Facebook's demands
beginning in 2015.Some 270,000 people allowed use of their data by a
researcher, who scraped the data of all their friends as well, a move
allowed by Facebook until 2015. The researcher sold the data to
Cambridge, which was against Facebook rules, the newspapers
said.Cambridge Analytica worked on Trump's 2016 campaign. A Trump
campaign official said, though, that it used Republican data sources,
not Cambridge Analytica, for its voter information.Facebook, in a series
of written statements beginning late on Friday, said its policies had
been broken by Cambridge Analytica and researchers and that it was
exploring legal action.Cambridge Analytica in turn said it had deleted
all the data and that the company supplying it had been responsible for
obtaining it.Andrew Bosworth, a Facebook vice president, hinted the
company could make more changes to demonstrate it values privacy. "We
must do better and will," he wrote on Twitter, adding that "our business
depends on it at every level."Facebook said it asked for the data to be
deleted in 2015 and then relied on written certifications by those
involved that they had complied.Nuala O'Connor, president of the Center
for Democracy & Technology, an advocacy group in Washington, D.C.,
said Facebook was relying on the good will of decent people rather than
preparing for intentional misuse.Moreover, she found it puzzling that
Facebook knew about the abuse in 2015 but did not disclose it until
Friday. "That's a long time," she said.Britain's data protection
authority and the Massachusetts attorney general on Saturday said they
were launching investigations into the use of Facebook data."It is
important that the public are fully aware of how information is used and
shared in modern political campaigns and the potential impact on their
privacy," UK Information Commissioner Elizabeth Denham said in a
statement.Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey's office said she
wants to understand how the data was used, what policies if any were
violated and what the legal implications are.(Reporting by David Ingram;

Why do people hate Islam? Sarah Rohoman-Yahoo Canada News-March 15, 2018
Too
often in online articles we see the worst qualities of people come out
in the comment section. The hateful comments run the gamut between
racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia and any other type of prejudice
you can name. In particular, the comment section on articles relating to
Islam tends to be particularly awful.To understand why people leave
terrible comments about Muslims and Islam on articles, Yahoo Canada News
conducted a Q&A with Mubin Shaikh. A former extremist himself,
Shaikh de-radicalized after studying Islam in Syria and went on to
become a counter-terrorism operative for the Canadian Security
Intelligence Service and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, Integrated
National Security Enforcement Team (INSET). He is now an external
Subject Matter Expert to CENTCOM, the UN Security Council and instructs
police, intelligence and counter terrorism units on extremism related
challenges.We asked Shaikh some questions based off troubling comments
we’ve seen on Yahoo Canada.Q: People often say that they’re tired of
stories about Islam being “forced” on them, which is not the case when
we post stories about other faiths. Why do you think that is? MS: When
people see a particular group as “the other” as opposed to co-equal
members of society, there is a psychological effect related to what is
termed, In-group/Out-group group dynamics. This means that if “my” group
does something, it is not as bad as when “their group” does something.
Members of the In-group are viewed with harmony as opposed to animosity
and this is what you see in the above comment. So, if a Muslim asks for
the same rights as everyone else, it is viewed as “forcing the religion”
or “changing our laws” when in fact, neither is the case. As for the
idea that Islam needs to be eradicated, this is actually no different
than antisemites who say all Jews have to be eradicated. The person is
frankly, an extremist.Q: One of the most common things we see is that
people say Islam is barbaric, and that it’s an evil cult and that
Muslims are bringing Sharia Law to Canada or trying to brainwash the
country. Why do people think that?MS: People think Islam is barbaric and
a religion of terrorism because of the actions of Muslim extremists
themselves. The irony is that anti-Muslim and Muslim extremists tend to
believe the exact same thing: Islam is about violence and killing and
imposing upon others. These two groups exist in symbiotic union and
reinforce each others’ narratives in this regard.Q: People often say
that Trudeau favours Islam over other religions. Why do you think that
is? MS: The overwhelming majority of those who say Trudeau favours Islam
over other religions, are those who already don’t like Liberals and
certainly don’t like the idea that Trudeau is the prime minister. Since
those people already don’t view Muslims as co-equal Canadian citizens,
any attempt to include Muslims in the Canadian family is viewed as
“favouritism” when in fact, no favouritism has ever been manifested in
this regard. Many of these folks also come from religious groups that
have indeed received favouritism and view the inclusion of other groups
as encroaching on that favoured status.Q: Why do people hate Islam? MS:
As you see from the comment, such sentiments of hate are no different
than ISIS-like extremists. They too target entire religions, they too
incite attacks against places of worship, they too view all members of a
nation or group as targets to be attacked. This shows us that
radicalization is not something that just happens to ‘brown’ people.
Hate is something that is taught at home, by associates and by the
media. Education and cross cultural interactions are the antidote to
hate. Ignorance is also something that exacerbates hate, so also is fear
of the unknown. All these factors taken together, explain why people
hate in general.
Thousands more Syrians flee their homes as two battles rage-[Reuters]-By Ellen Francis-YAHOONEWS-March 19, 2018

planes struck the main town, Syrian Kurdish forces and the monitor said.
More than 150,000 people have left the town in the last few days, a
senior Kurdish official said.The two offensives - one by the Syrian army
with Russia's support, the other led by Turkey with allied Syrian
rebels - entered decisive phases this week. Both have shown how foreign
backers and their Syrian allies are reshaping the map after the defeat
of Islamic State's self-proclaimed caliphate last year.Turkey launched
the cross-border offensive in January against the Syrian Kurdish YPG
fighters who control Afrin.In its month-long assault, the Syrian
military has marched into much of eastern Ghouta, the last major
insurgent bastion around Damascus.-EASTERN GHOUTA-Troops splintered
Ghouta into three besieged zones in one of the bloodiest offensives of
the seven-year war. Residents came out in their thousands this week for
the first time, from the southern pocket around Hammouriyeh town.State
media said 30,000 more civilians reached army positions on Saturday,
including some who started leaving the Harasta zone as well in a new
outflow.Men, women, and children walked along a dirt road, staggering
under bags and suitcases, footage on state TV showed. Many carried
infants on their shoulders or pushed them in strollers. Some elderly
people hobbled on wooden sticks.The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights,
a UK-based monitoring group, said air strikes on Zamalka killed 30
people gathering to leave for government lines in the morning. Damascus
and its ally Moscow say they only attack armed militants and seek to end
the rule of Islamist insurgents over the suburbs.The rebel factions
accuse Damascus of trying to depopulate opposition towns and deny its
charges that they have blocked people from leaving.The United Nations
has said the exact number of people fleeing is not known nor are the
destinations of all evacuees. Mobile clinics were open and some people
were taken to hospital in the capital, it said.The governor of rural
Damascus, Alaa Ibrahim, said the government was setting up new centers
due to the massive crowds.Residents would go back "in a very short
time", Ibrahim said. "As the army advances ... we will return the
citizens to their homes ... then we will continue providing services."An
army officer in charge of arrivals in Adra said authorities had
dispersed 25,000 people in recent days across temporary shelters there
and in two nearby towns. In Adra, the newcomers stayed in schools,
receiving food, water, and medicine, he said.The officer said boys and
men between the ages of 15-60 could "settle their affairs" with the
state by writing a vow that says "I pledge not to return to armed
actions." Some 1,500 had done so in the town, he said.The state has
proposed such settlements before for those who accept the return of its
rule in other enclaves it seized with the help of Russian jets and
Iran-backed militias.Khaled Hamad, a shepherd, said he signed a pledge
after leaving Hammouriyeh with his wife and five children on a tractor.
"They said now we were within the state's embrace," he recalled.The last
few days inside had become so harsh that his family ate their cow's
food, he said."(Now) they eat every hour."Hamad said militants in Ghouta
had fired at his brother, killing him and injuring his sons, for trying
to get out.AFRIN-An estimated 12,000-16,000 people had already left
Ghouta before Saturday, while more than 48,000 were reportedly displaced
in Afrin, a U.N. aid official in Syria has said.The Turkish military
has pushed the YPG militia back from the border and nearly encircled it
with advances on the western and eastern flanks of Afrin town. Ankara
sees the YPG as an extension of the outlawed Kurdish PKK which has waged
a decades-long insurgency inside Turkey."We can enter Afrin (town) any
second. We can give you the good news any minute," Turkish President
Tayyip Erdogan told a congress of the ruling AK Party. "Conquest is
close. We walk towards that aim."Turkish air and artillery strikes
rained down overnight and in recent days, driving tens of thousands out
of the main town by car and on foot, Kurdish authorities and the
Observatory say.Hevi Mustafa, a senior civic official, said people fled
the main town to other Kurdish-held parts of the region and to
government territory. Many were stranded out in the streets without
food, she said.The Turkish military denied on Saturday it had struck a
hospital in Afrin, saying it waged the campaign in a way that would not
hurt civilians.The YPG and the Observatory had said a Turkish air strike
on the town's main hospital killed 16 people the night before.Rezan
Heddo, a YPG media adviser, and state TV, said people arriving in the
nearby towns of Nubul and Zahraa, under government control, received
some aid.The journey was "catastrophic" for most residents as they
walked dozens of kilometers and slept out in the open, he said.Inside
the town, "there is no water, there are no hospitals," Heddo added.
"There are civilians under the rubble and no capacity to get them
out."(Additional reporting by Dominic Evans in Istanbul, Firas Makdesi
