U.N. human rights chief Michelle Bachelet is undertaking a six-day visit to China that includes stops in Xinjiang, a remote northwestern region where the Chinese government has been accused of human rights violations and genocide against Uyghurs and other ethnic groups.  In her first interaction with media in China, Michelle Bachelet said on Thursday that Beijing can play an "important role" in discussions to help aid "meaningful progress" on key global human rights issues.  Bachelet arrived in China on Monday, kicking off the first trip by a holder of the office since 2005 amid concerns by the US and others that it could lead to an endorsement rather than scrutiny of China's rights record. US state department Ned Price called her visit a mistake.   Her trip has been long in the making after Bachelet said in 2018 she wanted unfettered access to Xinjiang. China said the visit should not be based on a presumption of guilt. Rights groups worry that if Bachelet does not press China hard enough, her post-trip report may not give a full picture and could be used by Beijing to justify its actions in Xinjiang. The World Uyghur Congress urged Bachelet in a letter to ensure that her team can move freely, access all detention facilities and have unsupervised contact with Uyghurs.  International scrutiny of the government's actions in Xinjiang heightened in 2018 after the United Nations said a million Uyghurs were held in "massive internment camps" set up for political indoctrination. China initially denied the existence of any camps, then later admitted it had set up "vocational training centres" with dormitories where people can "voluntarily" check themselves in to learn about law, Chinese language and vocational skills.

The asphhyxiation death of a Black man shown in a video being held by two officers of Brazil's Federal Highway Police inside an SUV's smoke-filled trunk is sparking outrage among Brazilians.
Images of the police stop Tuesday in Umbauba, in the northeastern state of Sergipe, show the officers forcibly keeping Genivaldo de Jesus Santos, 38, in the back of their police vehicle as a dense cloud of white smoke, which appears to be tear gas, emerges from the SUV.
The man can be heard screaming and his legs, which stick out of the SUV, kick for a time, until they eventually stop moving. The officers seem undisturbed by onlookers surrounding them.
Social media erupted over the images, and dozens of people gathered to protest Wednesday in Umbauba, where they blocked a road and burned tires.
“The population is outraged," a man can be heard saying in a video of the protest posted on Twitter. “They murdered the guy!” another told the crowd through a loudspeaker.
In a statement, the Federal Highway Police said the man had displayed aggressive behavior and was “actively resisting” the officers who pulled him over. The agents immobilized him, the statement said, then used “instruments of lesser offensive potential” to contain him.
The stataements says Santos fell ill as he was being transported to a police precinct and was taken to a hospital, where his death was confirmed.
A preliminary autopsy concluded the man died of respiratory failure due to 'mechanical asphyxia'.

Did the police in Texas delay their response at the Robb Elementary School where 18-year-old Salvador Ramos shot dead 21 people including 19 children?   Officials say Salvador Ramos was inside the school in Uvalde for up to an hour before he was killed. Steven McCraw, who is the director of the Texas Department of Public Safety, had told a news conference on Wednesday that the gunman was on site for between 40 minutes and an hour before law enforcement were able to "contain" him. But eyewitness Juan Carranza told the Associated Press that women shouted at officers to "go in there". The 24-year-old, who witnessed the scene at the Robb Elementary School from outside his house, said police did not enter. Javier Cazares, whose daughter was killed in the attack, told the news agency he suggested running in with other onlookers because the police "weren't doing anything". Authorities said the gunman locked himself in a classroom which officers then struggled to gain access to.  It has also emerged that the attacker sent messages on social media about the shooting minutes before it happened. Texas Governor Greg Abbott said Ramos had promised to shoot his grandmother in private messages sent 30 minutes before the attack.

If you’re on a ship in the Bermuda Triangle, and the ship disappears - well at least you’ll get your money back. Or your bank account will.
This is the offer made by a cruise company organising a trip to the Bermuda Triangle, the region in the Atlantic Ocean where dozens of boats, ships, and planes are said to have mysteriously disappeared.
According to a report in The Mirror, the Norwegian Prima Liner is offering cabins at £1,450 for a two-day trip to the region also known as the Devil’s Triangle.
The cruise organisers’ website reportedly says, “Don't worry about disappearing on this Bermuda Triangle tour. The tour has a 100% return rate and your money will be refunded in the rare chance you disappear.”
The tour includes a twilight Bermuda Triangle cruise on a glass bottom boat with lectures and presentations about the mysterious area.
The disappearance of ships and planes in the Triangle has spawned a plethora of conspiracy theories, ranging from aliens to underwater civilisations.

Flies at 3 times the speed of sound, launched from ships</a> The disappearance of ships and planes in the Triangle has spawned a plethora of conspiracy theories, ranging from aliens to underwater civilisations.

Russia claims to have launched Iskander ballistic missile and the Kalibr cruise missile at the Ukrainian military installations amid the war. 
In one video put out by the ministry on Thursday, an Iskander ballistic missile is seen being launched from a remote location.
Another video showed a Kalibr cruise missile lighting up the night sky as it took off from a warship at an undisclosed location at sea.
WHAT IS ISKANDER MISSILE
The 9K720 Iskander is a short-range mobile ballistic missile system produced and deployed by the Russian military.
The deadly Iskander short-range ballistic missiles are capable of delivering a devastating nuclear payload.
The Iskander can be used with a selection of warheads, including cluster munitions, a few air explosive warheads, a high explosive-fragmentation warhead and an earth penetrator for bunker-busting.
It is built with an electromagnetic pulse device for anti-radar missions.
WHAT IS KALIBR MISSILE
Russia describes the Kalibr missile as a weapon that “has caused jitters in the West with its ability to sneak up to its target when fired”.
The naval version of the Kalibr cruise missile is supersonic, specifically designed to evade active air defenses and electronic countermeasures.
First fired from the Caspian Sea, the missile travelled 1,500 kilometers and hit a target in Syria.
The submarine launched cruise missile version of Kalibr has a range of up to 2,000 kilometers.

The intersection where George Floyd died at the hands of Minneapolis police officers was renamed in his honour on Wednesday, among a series of events to remember a man whose killing forced America to confront racial injustice.
With Congress deadlocked over how to address racism and excessive use of force, President Joe Biden signed an executive order on policing Wednesday, the second anniversary of George Floyd's death.
The decision reflects Biden's struggle to use the limited powers of his office to advance his campaign promises, as well as his attempt to strike a balance between police and civil rights groups at a time when rising concerns about crime are eclipsing calls for reform.
Most of the order is focused on federal law enforcement agencies — for example, requiring them to review and revise policies on use of force. It would also create a database to help track officer misconduct, according to the White House.
Although the administration cannot require local police departments to participate in the database, which is intended to prevent problem officers from hopping from job to job, officials are looking for ways to use federal funding to encourage their cooperation.
In addition, the order would restrict the flow of surplus military equipment to local police.
In September, the Justice Department curtailed federal agents' use of no-knock warrants — which allow law enforcement agents to enter a home without announcing their presence — and updated its policy to prohibit agents from using chokeholds in most circumstances.
But extending such rules to local police is more challenging, and White House officials have spent months in negotiations with civil rights groups and police organizations.
The resulting set of policies is less extensive than originally sought, not to mention delayed by a year.

Dreams hold different expectations and hopes for different people. For this Japanese man, his dream conformed to a particular physiology. Twitter user Toko-san (@toco_eevee) or Toko fulfilled his long standing dream of looking like an animal when he transformed himself into a 'collie', a breed of dog.
He was able to undergo his transformation with the assistance of a professional agency called Zeppet. According to local reports, Zeppet produces costumes seen on Japanese TV, mascot characters and provides sculptures for movies and commercials. The particular costume of the 'collie' for Toko reportedly costed more than ₹ 12 lakh (2 million Yen) and took 40 days to make.
Toko has even spoken to news.mynavi where he was asked about why he chose a collie, he said, “I made it a collie because it looks real when I put it on my taste and costume. My favorite is quadrupedal animals, especially cute ones. Among them, I thought that a big animal close to me would be good, considering that it would be a realistic model, so I decided to make it a dog.
The interviewer even asked him whether he could move his limbs freely, to which he responded, “There are restrictions, but you can move it. However, if you move it too much, it will not look like a dog.”
Toko who has his own YouTube channel was seen asking viewers for “requests for the video you would like to see.” It is very difficult to locate a picture of Toko, outside of him in this dog costume.

Days after the Quad summit ended in Japan and despite Joe Biden's warning to China that it would intervene militarily if Beijing tried to reunify with Taiwan by force, China announced drills around the Island.
China regards Taiwan as its province even though the country has had separate governance for decades now.
Xinhua news agency quoted a Chinese defence spokesperson as having said that the recent patrol and training exercise by China around Taiwan Island were necessary actions against the collusion between Taiwan and the United States.
The PLA Eatern Theater Commant had recently organised a joint war-preparedness alert patrol and combat training exercises involving troops of multiple services and arms in the waters and airspace around the Taiwan Island. 
Tan Kefei, the spokesperson for the Ministry of National Defense, said Seeking "Taiwan independence" is doomed to fail, and so is supporting such actions, Tan said, adding that by playing the "Taiwan card" to contain China, the United States is putting the situation in jeopardy.
This comes after President Joe Biden said on Monday that the U.S. would intervene militarily if China were to invade Taiwan, saying the burden to protect Taiwan is “even stronger" after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
The U.S. traditionally has avoided making such an explicit security guarantee to Taiwan, with which it no longer has a mutual defence treaty, instead maintaining a policy of "strategic ambiguity" about how far it would be willing to go if China invaded.
The 1979 Taiwan Relations Act, which has governed U.S. relations with the island, does not require the U.S. to step in militarily to defend Taiwan if China invades, but makes it American policy to ensure Taiwan has the resources to defend itself and to prevent any unilateral change of status in Taiwan by Beijing.

Ukrainian seaports remain blocked by the Russian Black Sea Fleet, crippling the country's export of essential goods including grain and oils.
At least 70 vessels - up to 95% of them being international ones - are blocked at Ukrainian ports on the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov.
The impact is being felt by traders in the country, with Ukraine is losing millions of dollars due to the export issues while the failure to deliver essential goods, primarily grains, by sea has put world food security at risk.
"While we used to have about a 6,000000-ton turnover via ports and other transportation hubs, right now, we are at 600,000-700,000 monthly," grain trader Vitaly Lavrov said.
Hundreds of ships have also lost the chance to set sail in Crimea.
With boats not able to leave, fishing businesses on the peninsula have been suffering.
"The company is suffering losses," local businessman Andrey Bezukh said.
"We had 100 tons of flatfish and brill projected for 2022. And that's only a part of the whole quota for the Republic of Crimea which is 352 tons."
He added people had been forced to look for other work with ships not able to set sail.

In an incident that seems almost fictional, an author was found guilty of killing her husband. 
While the story maybe as old as time itself, here's the twist in the tale: the woman accused, a few years ago, had written an article titled 'How to kill your husband'.
Self-published author, Nancy Crampton Brophy, has now been convicted of fatally shooting her husband, who was a chef by profession.
Daniel's body was discovered at the Oregon Culinary Institute with two gun shots to his back which had pierced his heart and killed him instantly. 
Brophy in her essay had detailed her knowledge of police procedure and the many mediums of committing murder. 
The police charged her after finding a van similar to Brophy's near the murder site and after finding that the accused had purchased a gun from a ghost weapons site.

Do you also find it difficult to handle burritos, wraps, and rolls filled with scrumptious fillings? Here's a solution to your messy meal problems!
Four students from John Hopkins University have developed an edible tape to seal wraps and Burritos and prevent their fillings from dropping out.
The all-female team of chemical and biomolecular engineering students has made this edible 'Tastee Tape' to provide relief from this universal issue.According to reports, the tape has prototyped strips measuring half-inch by two inches, that come fixed on a sheet of waxed paper. To use the tape, one needs to remove a strip from the sheet, add some water to it, and affix it to the wrap. 
The team further said that is flavorless, gluten-free, and vegan.
Though the team has not yet disclosed the formula they used for the edible adhesive strips, because they're currently applying for a patent but many can't wait for this game changer idea.

Fourth-grade teacher Irma Garcia was killed in her Texas classroom on Tuesday, massacred along with her co-teacher and 19 students. Two days later, a family member says her brokenhearted husband died.
The motive for the massacre — the nation's deadliest school shooting since Newtown, Connecticut, almost a decade ago — remained under investigation, with authorities saying the 18-year-old gunman had no known criminal or mental health history.
The alleged shooter, Salvador Ramos, was inside the Robb Elementary School classroom in Uvalde for more than an hour before he was killed in a shootout, authorities said Thursday.
The rampage has rocked a country already reeling from gun violence, and the toll has continued to climb in Uvalde, a largely Latino town of some 16,000 people about 75 miles (120 kilometers) from the Mexican border.
Joe Garcia, 50, had dropped off flowers at his wife's memorial on Thursday morning, The New York Times reported. He “pretty much just fell over” after returning home and died of a heart attack, his nephew John Martinez told the newspaper.
The Archdiocese of San Antonio and the Rushing-Estes-Knowles Mortuary confirmed Joe Garcia's death to The Associated Press. AP was unable to independently reach members of the Garcia family on Thursday.
Archbishop Gustavo García-Siller will hold a Mass on Thursday evening at Sacred Heart Church in Uvalde for the Garcia family and the wider community, the archdiocese said.
Married for 24 years, the couple shared four children. The oldest, Cristian, is serving in the Marine Corps as his brother, Jose, attended Texas State University. Their eldest daughter Lyliana is a high school sophomore, while her younger sister is a seventh grade student.
Martinez, the Garcias' nephew, told The Detroit Free Press that the family was struggling to grasp that while Garcia's son trained for combat, it was his mother who was shot to death.
“Stuff like this should not be happening in schools,” he told the newspaper. “It's wrong. It's not OK.” The Garcias loved to barbecue, 48-year-old Irma wrote in an online letter to her students at Robb Elementary. Irma enjoyed listening to music and taking country cruises to Concan, a community along the Frio River about 25 miles (40.23 kilometers) north of Uvalde.
The school year, scheduled to end Thursday, was Irma's 23rd year of teaching — all of it at Robb Elementary School. She had been previously named the school's teacher of the year and was a 2019 recipient of the Trinity Prize for Excellence in Education from Trinity University.
“Mrs. Irma Garcia was my mentor when I began teaching," her colleague Allison McCullough wrote when Irma was named teacher of the year. "The wealth of knowledge and patience that she showed me was life changing." For five years, Irma had co-taught with Eva Mireles, who also was killed.
“Welcome to the 4th grade! We have a wonderful year ahead of us!” Mireles wrote in an online letter to their incoming students last year.
