Family Separation Not Trump Administration’s Fault | The Heritage Foundation:

This is not some new phenomenon suddenly imposed by the Trump administration. It happened during the Obama, Bush, and Clinton administrations, too.
Where did the policy come from? In 1997, then-Attorney General Janet Reno settled a lawsuit, Flores v. Reno, filed in California challenging the Clinton administration’s detention of juvenile migrants taken into custody by the INS.

Lebanese tourist sentenced to eight years in prison for ...

Lebanese tourist sentenced to eight years in prison for ...:
CAIRO, July 7 (Reuters) - A Lebanese tourist who was arrested last month for posting a video on Facebook complaining of sexual harassment and conditions in Egypt was sentenced to eight years in prison by a Cairo court on Saturday, her lawyer told Reuters.
Mona el-Mazboh was arrested at Cairo airport at the end of her stay in Egypt after a 10-minute video in which she called Egypt a "son of a bitch country" went viral on social media.
The 24-year-old Mazboh complains of being sexually harassed by taxi drivers and young men in the street, as well as poor restaurant service during the holy month of Ramadan and an incident in which money was stolen from her during a previous stay.
A Cairo court found her guilty of deliberately spreading false rumours that would harm society, attacking religion, and public indecency, judicial sources said.
An appeal court will now hear the case on July 29, according to Mazboh's lawyer, Emad Kamal.
"Of course, God willing, the verdict will change.
With all due respect to the judiciary, this is a severe ruling.
It is in the context of the law, but the court was applying the maximum penalty," he said.

High-Fructose Corn Syrup And Sucrose - Is There A Health Difference? | Science 2.0

High-Fructose Corn Syrup And Sucrose - Is There A Health Difference? | Science 2.0: 
"High-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) is made from corn starch whereas sucrose us usually made from sugarcane or beets. 
Because starch itself is a simple sugar, a chain of glucose molecules joined together, once it's broken down into individual glucose molecules, it's corn syrup, which is essentially 100% glucose. 
It becomes high-fructose corn syrup when enzymes are added.
HFCS is sometimes called isoglucose and is used in the food industry to sweeten processed foods such as soft drinks, creams, cakes, confectionery, yogurts etc. to keep costs lower. It's sweeter than regular sugar, more like honey.
...In this case, it can be expected that there are no differences or no significant differences between isoglucose and sucrose from a nutritional perspective and that their health assessments are thus also similar.
...Still, despite conceding all of the reasonable stuff, they still declare that HFCS can contribute to metabolic syndrome as well as lipometabolic disorders, fatty liver, obesity and type 2 diabetes. 
But so can any sugar, so why singly out HFCS for that part?

Illegal Alien Released by Sanctuary City Gets $280 Fine for Killing Two Law Enforcement Officers | Breitbart

Illegal Alien Released by Sanctuary City Gets $280 Fine for Killing Two Law Enforcement Officers | Breitbart

WBALTV

An illegal alien who was released by a sanctuary city has received a small $280 fine after causing a car crash that left two law enforcement officers dead.

Roberto Garza Palacios, a 28-year-old illegal alien from Guatemala...

...On the night that the illegal alien killed the two law enforcement officers, Wolff was on Interstate 270 after crashing his car on the median. Cohen pulled over with his hazard lights to help Wolff. 

That’s when Garza Palacios drove up on the scene of the accident and hit Wolff and Cohen, propelling them off the concrete wall. 

The illegal alien said he did not see the two men and he was not found to be under the influence of drugs or alcohol at the time of the deadly crash. 

Now, the illegal alien will receive no jail time and did not even have to appear in court for the fatal accident.

...“He just pays $280, and that’s all he has to do,” Marla said.

Garza Palacios had been previously convicted in the U.S. and was released by the sanctuary city of Montgomery County, Maryland.
Three years before the deadly car crash, Garza Palacios was arrested in Montgomery County. 
At the time, the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency asked the sanctuary city to hold the illegal alien in prison until they could take him into custody. 
The sanctuary city refused and released Garza Palacios back into the public.
In 2015, the illegal alien pleaded guilty to drunk driving and was also arrested and convicted that same year for breaking the windows of 16 vehicles and starting a fire. 

Garza Palacios served four months in prison and was eventually released back into the public.

ICE officials say that the illegal alien has been taken into custody and is facing deportation after overstaying his visa which expired in 2009..."

Surgical Robots Cut Training Time Down From 80 Sessions To 30 Minutes - Slashdot

Surgical Robots Cut Training Time Down From 80 Sessions To 30 Minutes - Slashdot:
"From a report:
It is the most exacting of surgical skills: tying a knot deep inside a patient's abdomen, pivoting long graspers through keyhole incisions with no direct view of the thread.
Trainee surgeons typically require 60 to 80 hours of practice, but in a mock-up operating theatre outside Cambridge, a non-medic with just a few hours of experience is expertly wielding a hook-shaped needle -- in this case stitching a square of pink sponge rather than an artery or appendix.
The feat is performed with the assistance of Versius, the world's smallest surgical robot, which could be used in NHS operating theatres for the first time later this year if approved for clinical use.
Versius is one of a handful of advanced surgical robots that are predicted to transform the way operations are performed by allowing tens or hundreds of thousands more surgeries each year to be carried out as keyhole procedures.
The Versius robot cuts down the time required to learn to tie a surgical knot from more than 100 training sessions, when using traditional manual tools, to just half an hour, according to Slack."

SCOTUS Says Immigrants Are Not Owed The Same Constitutional Protections As Regular Americans - Great American Republic

SCOTUS Says Immigrants Are Not Owed The Same Constitutional Protections As Regular Americans - Great American Republic:

There is one thing that the Supreme Court has been consistent on down through the years. That issue has to do with the rights, if any, of illegal immigrants. The Alt-Left, the Democrats, and the mainstream media would have you believe that the rights of these illegals are the same as yours. That is nowhere near the truth. In this article, you can see the many decisions that the Supreme Court has ruled upon in the past. They have overruled District Courts that have overstepped the Constitution. They have defined exactly what we owe to people seeking to gain admission to the nation. In a word – Nothing.
