Community News 17 recommended0 commentsShareShareTweetSharePin it Make a comment The Pasadena Unified School District (PUSD) has received a 2014 School Climate Transformation Grant and a Project AWARE Grant from the U.S. Department of Education worth $2.1 million over the next five years.According to the U.S. Department of Education, the School Climate Transformation grants to school districts provide more than $35.8 million to 71 school districts in 23 states, Washington, D.C., and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The funds will be used to develop, enhance, or expand systems of support for implementing evidence-based, multi-tiered behavioral frameworks for improving behavioral outcomes and learning conditions for students. The goals of the program are to connect children, youths, and families to appropriate services and supports; improve conditions for learning and behavioral outcomes for school-aged youths; and increase awareness of and the ability to respond to mental-health issues among school-aged youths.“If we can’t help protect kids and staff, and make them feel safe at school, then everything else that we do is secondary,†said U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan. “If kids don’t feel safe, they can’t learn. It’s that simple. Through these grants of more than $70 million, we are continuing our commitment to ensure that kids have access to the best learning experience possible.â€One hundred school districts received the Department of Health and Human Services’ Project AWARE grants, including 29 of the Department of Education grantees. The purpose of this program is to assist local educational agencies to begin to support the training of school personnel and other adults who interact with youth in both school settings and communities to detect and respond to mental illness in children and youth, including how to encourage adolescents and their families experiencing these problems to seek treatment.Both grants are part of President Obama’s “Now is the Time†plan to protect children and communities by reducing gun violence (http://www.whitehouse.gov/sites/default/files/docs/wh_now_is_the_time_full.pdf). With the funds, PUSD will continue its support of Behavioral Response to Intervention, increase access to social-emotional curriculum, provide students with mental health first aid, and offer programs such as the Safe School Ambassadors/Anti-Bullying program, Too Good for Drugs curriculum, and Student Aggression Replacement Training. The grants will be administered by PUSD’s office of Child Welfare, Attendance and Safety. The district will receive $500,000 in the first year of the grant.The district’s announcement of these grants coincides with October being National Bullying Prevention Month. As part of efforts to combat bullying, the district’s television station KLRN Pasadena and PUSD high school students produced a video about the impacts of bullying on students (http://youtu.be/s2pmXimJynQ). Students, staff and community can now anonymously report bullying or threats by texting the phrase “tip PUSD†and a description of the incident to 888777 or by clicking on the anonymous tipping button at www.pusd.us.

Shamoon against Republic TV news channel for publishing an alleged doctored video footage whereby the former is said to have promoted violent protests and use of criminal force against the state machinery. The Court of Additional Senior Civil Judge, Gagandeep Jindal at Saket District Court on Tuesday, passed an order to summon the channel’s chief, Arnab Goswami and others on 27th May, 2021. As per the allegations, a person claiming to be a research scholar, approached him and started to talk about the anti-CAA protests at Shaheen Bagh and stated the need of violent agitation and protest against the law. Plaintiff claims that he intervened and advised the gentleman to think about democratic way of protest alone and taught him the values of democracy. He claims to have never spoken about using criminal force against the state machinery or against any organization. However, he was aghast and astonished to note that Republic TV channel (allegedly) cut and paste the said conversation as per their mind set and aired the formulated video as a “sting operation”. He vented that such (alleged) actions of the news channel have not only caused irreparable loss to him personally but also to the nation at large. He averred, “If the defendant were not in nasty intention, they could have aired the complete dialogue made between the plaintiff and the so called sting operator. The defendant jointly acted against public morality in this incident. It is an attempt to make somebody as criminal that he would not have committed at all. It is against the public morality and decency and hence falls within the purview of Article 19 (2).” Talking about personal loss of reputation, Plaintiff submitted, “Since the contents of the fabricated video is reached worldwide, vast number of friends and colleagues of the plaintiff called him and expressed their dissatisfaction towards the plaintiff against the filthy contents of the video, which never expressed by the plaintiff really. The image and status of the plaintiff has been blatantly diminished among them. Some of the plaintiffs well-wishers directly came to his office and unveiled their dissatisfaction on the alleged video footage. Moreover, as a medical practitioner, the plaintiff regularly come across so many patients various walks of life, irrespective of their caste, creed and religion. Some of the plaintiffs patients discontinued their consultation with the plaintiff.” He relied on the ruling in R. Rajagopal & Anr. v. State of Tamil Nadu & Ors., whereby the Supreme Court had realised the true reminiscence of the limits of freedom of press with respect to the right to privacy. It had held, “A citizen has a right to safeguare the privacy of his own, his family, marriage, procreation, motherhood, child bearing and education among other matters, No One can publish anything concerning the above matters without his consent – whether truthful or otherwise and Whether laudatory or critical. If he does so, he would be violating the right to privacy of the person concerned and would be liable in an action for damages. Position may, however, be different, if a person voluntarily thrusts himself into controversy or voluntarily invites or raises a controversy.” Shamoon alleged that the channel, in connivance with Youtube and Twitter, deliberately uploaded the aforesaid video in public domain /social media website having vast reach in the general public, in order to cause loss and damage to his reputation. He has therefore sought a mandatory injunction, seeking removal of the aforesaid defamatory video from their channel and other social media platforms. The suit is valued at Re. 1/-Advocates Abdus Samad and Shakeel Abbas appeared for Plaintiff.

Darija Reić, CNTB office in Great Britain: It was on the topic of a possible air bridge as well as interest in Croatia from the UK market that I spoke with the director of the CNTB Representation in the UK. Darija Reić. Also, most importantly, there is a great demand, and travel agencies from the UK, are overwhelmed by the demand for travel to Europe, as well as to Croatia. Which is always crucial, if there is a high demand, there is also the interest of travel agencies and airlines. As Patel points out, the plan of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is to enable the British to go on vacation to the safest destinations without quarantine for 14 days, and it is expected to come into force on July 6. When asked about the interest in Croatia on the British market, Reić pointed out that Croatia is highly ranked as a safe destination, since the beginning of the pandemic, and even today. Photo: HTZ Raić points out that the British are extremely careful about the value of money, and logically, as well as their reduced travel budget, in accordance with the whole situation. “The British traditionally like to get more for their money, and in light of the pandemic and weakened economic power, it is to be expected that price will be a strong motivator in choosing a destination” “Split and Dalmatia and Dubrovnik and the Neretva Valley are traditionally the favorite regions of the British. What many certainly want to experience is, for example, a visit to Dubrovnik without the usual crowds. In light of the pandemic and social distancing, tourists will look for smaller “tourist locations” and the so-called. “Hidden gems”, which are very common on the coast and islands, and they should be given special attention to communication activities. Well-known specialized travel magazines have authority and weight, and national newspapers mostly have sections dedicated to travel that serve as inspiration to readers, with a huge reach, especially online. Nowadays, when we really spend a lot of time on mobile phones and laptops, online communication is crucial, and interactive content such as video ads attract special attention.” For a few days now, the media has been talking about negotiations between Great Britain and certain European destinations on the so-called “air bridge”, including Croatia, and yesterday the whole story received additional media focus, but also concrete official outlines. 
Namely, Priti Patel from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for Dailymail she said that negotiations were under way with certain countries, regarding the establishment of an air bridge without quarantine, and that the ministry was working “overnight” to make them happen. In order to better position itself on the UK market, Raić points out that the CNTB campaign is underway on the UK market, and that currently the British will be looking for smaller tourist locations or “hidden gems”Which are very common on the Adriatic coast and islands. Certainly important and more than useful information for everyone who will target the British market with promotional activities. “In the last two days since the news of the announcement of the categorization of destinations to which you can travel from the UK without the need for quarantine on return, there has been increased interest in Croatia, which ranks high as a safe destination since the pandemic. Airlines operate their programs in accordance with the decisions and recommendations of the Government, and we already have flight announcements from the beginning of July to Pula and Rijeka, and from mid-July to Zadar, Split and Dubrovnik. The UK office is also showing high interest and increased public inquiries, especially over the past weekend.”Reic points out. Considering the whole health situation, but also the economic crisis, the question is how much it has left a mark on the financial power of British tourists who are known as guests with high consumption. According to the research Thomas Summer 2017 tourists from Great Britain are right behind tourists from the USA in terms of the highest daily consumption per person – 139 euros. And in the past few years, consumption has certainly grown even more, thanks to the large number of young British tourists who have visited festivals on the Adriatic. As for the negotiations on the air bridge, they are conducted at the state level, and the CNTB office in London, as Reić points out, continuously communicates that we are open to British tourists and that Croatia is a safe destination, ready to receive guests. What is currently important is concrete negotiations at the state level, not just media speculation, and there is great interest in Croatia from the UK market, and more official positive news can be expected in the coming days around the air bridge between the UK and Croatia. .
A Florida man who became a video sensation last year after fighting a man in Orlando while dressed as the Easter Bunny has been arrested, according to authorities.Earlier this month, Antoine McDonald was driving a motorcycle when he ran a stop sign and then crashed into a carport before fleeing the scene, the Florida Highway Patrol says. The carport later collapsed onto the vehicle.When deputies went to McDonald’s home, they saw a gray car driving away with McDonald laying in the backseat.When a deputy went to arrest the suspect, he denied being a part of the incident.“I wasn’t in any crash. I’m the Orlando Easter bunny, Google it,” he said, while wearing the same Easter Bunny suit, according to an arrest report.A report in the Orlando Sentinel states that authorities had McDonald remove the costume before arresting him.He is charged with leaving the scene of a crash involving property damage, driving with a suspended license and operating a motorcycle without a license.

The 66-year-old was worth almost $600-million when he died, which is 18 million more than he claimed in court papers while trying to get released on bail on federal sex trafficking charges. Most of the money is tied up in property, but Epstein reportedly had $56 million in cash.Meanwhile Manhattan federal prosecutors have asked a judge to toss Epstein’s criminal case in light of his death.Epstein was awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges involving young girls when he was found hanged in his cell on August 10th.Court documents show Epstein’s only heir is his brother Mark and he has named two of his attorneys as executors to his will. Two days before Jeffrey Epstein’s body was found hanging inside his Manhattan prison cell, he reportedly signed his will. The New York Post reports the document was filed in the U.S. Virgin Islands where the former hedge fund manager owned two islands.
Hunter Biden says he is not the father of a child born to a woman in Arkansas and he has agreed to take a paternity test to prove it.The birth of the child came while Hunter was in a relationship with Hallie Biden, his late brother Beau’s wife.Hunter, son of former Vice President Joe Biden, believes the results of the DNA test will prove he is not the father in time for a December hearing in Arkansas, according to court papers.Lunden Alexis Roberts, 28, filed a petition for paternity and child support against Hunter last May, claiming he’s the father of her baby, who was born in August 2018.She wants a court to establish that Hunter who is now at the center of Trump impeachment storm is the baby’s biological dad, and is seeking child support and health insurance for the now-14-month-old toddler.Hunter, 49, married Melissa Cohen two weeks before the petition was filed. And the couple has matching Shalom tattoos.
Israel was referring to last week’s 25-15 vote in Tallahassee, in which the State Senate voted to uphold Governor Ron DeSantis’ decision to remove Israel from office. DeSantis suspended Israel last January, claiming that Israel’s incompetence resulted in his deputies’ poor performance in responding to last year’s shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland.Israel maintains that he was removed only because DeSantis is a Republican and Israel is a Democrat.He provided examples of other mass shootings around the country as proof of his explanation. He says, “No sheriff, no elected official, no police chief has been suspended. Just me.”Israel also referred to many of his deputies as “brave” and “heroes” in their response to the shooting. He adds, “We had one deputy that didn’t go in, referring to Deputy Scot Peterson. “It wasn’t a training issue. It wasn’t a policy issue. It was a fear issue.”The former sheriff says he will run again for that position in 2020, and that he believes the voters still want him as their sheriff.“They understand this election was stolen from them, that the 2016 election for sheriff was wiped out,” Israel says of voters. “The sheriff of any county in America is not the sheriff of one group of people or one city or one town or one area. You’re the sheriff of everyone in the county. As I’ve said all along, the only one responsible for taking lives that day was the evil killer,” referring to accused shooter Nikolas Cruz.850 WFTL’s Karen Curtis will soon interview Scott Israel, as well as his replacement and campaign rival, Gregory Tony. Former Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel says his removal from office was purely political.He tells a local reporter, “It was a political sham. They dealt from the bottom of the deck. We had no chance of ever prevailing.”
A Delray Beach man is accused of running a sex trafficking ring for over a decade.The FBI says William Foster allegedly recruited underage girls from foster homes to become prostitutes in Palm Beach County who then crossed state lines. Investigators claim Foster used the money he made to start a business and a non-profit foster care organization dedicated to helping sex trafficking victims.The FBI believes he used the organization as a way to recruit girls. The FBI began its investigation in February 2017, when two women reported being recruited into Foster’s organization as teenagers about 10 years earlier.A third woman came forward in September, claiming she traveled from Fort Lauderdale with several of Foster’s girls to engage in sex at various strip clubs in the Detroit area.FBI Special Agent Kelly Cavey laid out the allegations in a 16-page federal complaint, filed Thursday in U.S. District Court in West Palm Beach.William Foster criminal complaintRead more here.
