Sayfullo Habibullaevic Saipov

An Uzbek national who entered the U.S. in 2010, Saipov is believed to be the man who killed eight people and injured more than 12 in lower Manhattan on Tuesday.

Driving a rented Home Depot pickup truck, the suspect collided with bicyclists, pedestrians and a school bus before exiting the vehicle and pulling out a pellet gun and a paintball gun, police said. The suspect claimed his action was done for ISIS, according to a note law enforcement officials found in the truck, WNBC reported.

After being shot in the abdomen by a police officer, the suspect is currently at a hospital, where he refused to answer an initial round of questions, according to NBC News.

Saipov was an Uber driver and passed the app's background check, according to an Uber statement, the Associated Press reported. The ride hailing firm is "aggressively and quickly reviewing" the suspect's history with the company, the Associated Press said.

President Donald Trump has called the incident a "terrorist attack."New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo has said there's no evidence to suggest a wider threat or plot.

"These kinds of attacks are almost impossible to stop without very specific intelligence information about the person that intends to carry this out," said Fred Burton, a former counter-terrorism agent with the U.S. State Department from 1985 to 1999.

Burton, currently chief security officer at Stratfor, added that individuals don't need a lot of training and skill to perform these kind of low-level assaults.

Why have Patriots been fighting all along? Now, Canadian Patriots need to fight to make Canada great

The name itself suggests that it is a Blog for the Patriots Worldwide. Patriots have been fighting in almost all the countries of the world. Every country represents a Nation. Each Nation has its own characteristics, culture, values, ethnicity, language, religious beliefs, custom, civilization and history.  The National or Patriotic feeling or emotion cannot be mixed with any Global agenda. Patriots will defend their own country and its own characteristics including religion. Take for example the cases of Canada, Britain, France, Germany, The Netherlands, Belgium & Spain.  Patriots in these countries are scared of and reacting to mass exodus/immigration of Muslims. Then, there have been Muslim refugees sheltered in those countries.  But what is horrifying is the strong demand of Muslims for their  Sharia law.  Sharia law is applicable to Muslims only and valid for Muslim countries. But going to or immigrating to or settling down in a non-Muslims country like the USA, Canada & European Union is a privilege but not a right.  Numerous friends of mine asked me this:  While Muslims or Muslim countries do not allow non-Muslims to worship in a Church or promote Christian belief, how come Muslims demand/ask for Sharia law, Polygamy, Halal meat, Islamic teachings etc in any non-Muslim countries.  There is a professional word:  Reciprocal or Reciprocation , I hope you all know the meaning. Does this word not apply to Muslims and Islamic countries? In a simpler sentence to tell the Muslims, what this word means: it is simple, Give and Take. I am not against Muslims or Islam but I believe in fair-dealing in every aspect of life.

Now, coming back to the  point of the Patriots, I will be logical to defend them. Why ? According the UN Charter of Rights, each country or Nation has the Right to protect its culture, custom, manners, language and religion. God created all human beings as different, and even Anthropologists agree to this. Naturally, God had created all languages and religions( via Prophets) in different parts of the world in different ways. Like one language cannot be mixed up with another language or be replaced by another language. Two languages maybe similar but are not the same/identical.  Similarly, two different religions cannot be compared or compromised, as they have different basis of concepts and practices. Look at this:  Judaism and Islam are the closest religions, their way of worshiping, names, Health habits/food( like Circumcision, not eating Pork),  way of writing( right to left) and believing in The Almighty Lord and so on, but they have been fighting with each other for the last 1200 years. In the same context, Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism & Sikhism are way different from each other. Therefore, religious Globalism is a myth, so is the religious amity. This is a fact you have to admit that God wanted so many religions & languages on the Earth. It is mentioned in Old Testament.  So, each religious or language groups will maintain its own original stream. But, there should not be any domination or suppression. 

Our Patriots in Canada and UK are really scared that they will be outnumbered and over-run by the Muslims, in the near future.  Muslims do not adapt to Canadian or British way of life. Muslims always demand their way ,  "My Way or Highway". Here comes the role of our Patriots in these countries, which is to defend their original culture, religion and language.

Latest Technology helps in marital or love relationship

10 Ways Technology Helps Your marital or love relationship »MARRIAGE

A A A

In today’s hectic world, it can be extremely difficult to find time to connect with your partner.  Between jobs, kids, socializing, housework, exercise, and the few hours you get to rest, it can feel like you and your partner grow increasingly distant by the day.  This can be the case even if you still love each other deeply, and even if you schedule semi-regular date nights.

In my new book, 52 Emails to Transform Your Marriage, I help couples who are struggling to rekindle their emotional connection.  Instead of conversations, which can have the potential to go awry, feel awkward, or deteriorate into arguments, I prompt couples to write thoughtful emails to one another on a variety of deeper-level topics. However, there are many ways to use your computer to grow closer with your partner, aside from using the email prompts discussed in my book.  None of these ideas require anything but a computer or smartphone and an internet connection, so even the most time-strapped person can likely do some of them.  Pick a few to try with your partner this week:

1. Google CalendarWith a joint Google calendar, or other online calendar, you can plan activities and schedule them without nagging your partner. Both of you get reminders before events, and if either of you schedules something fun, it is a nice surprise for the other one.  You can also leave little notes in the calendar for each other to mix it up.

2. Secret Pinterest BoardIf you can get your husband to download the Pinterest app, it can be very fun for couples to pin images and articles about future vacations, houses they like, pets they want one day, or anything else of interest.  Make sure to choose “secret” so that your friends don’t see your future top-secret plans to retire to Argentina when your kids are grown up!

3. E-CardsSome sites like someecards.com, have cards for every occasion that are guaranteed to make your partner smile.  This is a thoughtful way to give your partner a laugh and show that you’re thinking about them during the day. There are other sites as well that are more sincere and serious, if that is the mood you’re in.

4. Amazon Wish ListsAlthough most couples can’t afford to buy everything off their Amazon wish lists, it can be very useful to keep a running list of things that you want, need, and just think are cute or funny.  That way, if your partner wants to surprise you with a little gift, he can choose something off your list.  This is very helpful for people who are terrible gift givers, despite their efforts to be otherwise.

5. SnapchatEveryone knows that teenage kids love Snapchat, but even their parents might find something intriguing about this app, if it’s used primarily for connecting with your partner.  While not everyone thinks it’s funny to put a filter on your video that makes you look like a talking cat, there are some couples that can bond over connecting in this less-serious way.

6. GPS AppsSome couples like to be alerted when one or the other leaves work, which can minimize the need for a phone call right as a partner is trying to hurry up and leave work on time.  If you know when your partner is en route, it can cut down on stress and allow you to plan dinner or other evening activities.

7. Read the Same BooksIf you and your partner read the same Kindle books, or, even better, download the same audiobooks (which allows both of you to “read” at the same pace), this can yield many interesting discussions.  Rather than just small talk, talking about books allows you and your partner to connect on an intellectual level and remember how insightful you find one another.

8. Watch the Same ShowsEven if you have different schedules, if you and your partner pick one show or series to really get invested in, then you can talk about the show when you’re next together.  There are so many wonderful series on Hulu, Amazon Prime, and Netflix that every couple is likely able to find something that satisfies both of their tastes and interests.  TV can be disconnecting if you just sit and watch it without conversation, but if you use it as a springboard for conversations, it can make you feel close and connected.

9. Skype Calls from WorkAlthough many people think about Skype and FaceTime as apps to use with far-flung friends and relatives, this can also make couples feel closer during the workday. Texting is expedient, but connecting face-to-face during the workday, even for a moment, can allow you to feel more connected.

10. Video-Chat Couples CounselingFor couples that are feeling more disconnected and even resentful or angry, couples counseling is a great way to address issues and reconnect. Unfortunately, with couples’ often-busy schedules, it can be very hard to make the time to commute to a counselor’s office, have a session, and commute home.  Not to mention that childcare is required.  If you need a couples’ counselor, be sure to ask if they offer counseling via video-chat.  I use this in my practice with many couples who put their kids to sleep and then have a session at night, and it is invaluable in helping them prioritize couples therapy.

Salmon has earned its research reputation as a health-supportive food based largely on its unusual omega-3 fatty acid content. It's very common for 4 ounces of baked or broiled salmon to contain at least 2 grams of omega-3 fats—more than the average U.S. adult gets from all food over the course of several days. (If we consider 4 grams of omega-3 fatty acids to be a daily goal for a person consuming a 2,000 calorie diet—based upon recommendations from the 1999 Workshop on the Essentiality of and Recommended Dietary Intakes (RDI) for Omega-6 and Omega-3 Fatty Acids sponsored by the National Institutes of Health (NIH)—then this would equal about 50% of this goal. For more on this, see our write-up on omega-3s.)

About half of this omega-3 fat is provided in the form of EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and a slightly lower amount is provided in the form of DHA (docosahexaenoic acid). The amounts of EPA and DHA contained in salmon are unusual among commonly-eaten foods. In addition to this high concentration of omega-3 fats is the relatively small amount of omega-6 fats in salmon and its outstanding ratio of omega-3 to omega-6. Four ounces of salmon will typically contain less than 1/2 gram of omega-6 fat, for an omega-3 to omega-6 ratio of approximately 5.5 to 1. In the average U.S. diet, this ratio has repeatedly been shown to be lop-sided in the opposite direction, with at least 4-5 times as much omega-6 fat as omega-3 fat, and in some studies, up to 12-20 times more. In our World's Healthiest Foods rating system for food, only two foods provide more omega-3s per standard serving than salmon. Those two foods are walnuts and flaxseeds. Both of these plant foods are outstanding sources of omega-3s! However, they cannot be compared on an equal basis to salmon because their omega-3 fats come in the form of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) rather than EPA or DHA. The widely-studied benefits of omega-3 fatty acids are documented in our Omega-3 Fatty Acids profile in the Essential Nutrients section of our website. In general, these benefits involve improved control of the body's inflammatory processes, better overall cell function, improved transfer of information between the body's cells, and better brain function. When researchers look specifically at intake of omega-3-containing fish like salmon, they find health support in all of the above areas. However, some areas of omega-3 support are what we would call "standout" areas. For more, see Salmon

The name PatriotsFighting has been take from President's speech on terrorism. I liked it very much and found it very acceptable and unique.

The Canadian Equivalent to the PATRIOT Act

32114

On January 27, 2009, the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada released guidelines for processing personal data across borders. These guidelines explain how PIPEDA applies to personal information that is transferred to third parties for processing, including those located outside of Canada.

This guide will be of particular interest for individuals who are concerned about their personal information being transferred to third party organizations in the United States, namely because of the controversial PATRIOT Act which increases the ability of law enforcement agencies to access records held by American organizations.

Many Canadians are often uneasy about the notion that their personal information can be subject to American law enforcement agencies. However, unknown to many, PIPEDA actually allows Canadian law enforcement agencies to share information with U.S. intelligence agencies if warranted.

Highlighted in PIPEDA Case Summary #394, CanWest used these principles to explain that “government access without consent will always remain a possibility, both in Canada and in the United States.”

From PIPEDA, 7(3)c:

(3) For the purpose of clause 4.3 of Schedule 1, and despite the note that accompanies that clause, an organization may disclose personal information without the knowledge or consent of the individual only if the disclosure is

• (c) required to comply with a subpoena or warrant issued or an order made by a court, person or body with jurisdiction to compel the production of information, or to comply with rules of court relating to the production of records;
• (c.1) made to a government institution or part of a government institution that has made a request for the information, identified its lawful authority to obtain the information and indicated that
• (i) it suspects that the information relates to national security, the defence of Canada or the conduct of international affairs,
• (ii) the disclosure is requested for the purpose of enforcing any law of Canada, a province or a foreign jurisdiction, carrying out an investigation relating to the enforcement of any such law or gathering intelligence for the purpose of enforcing any such law, or
• (iii) the disclosure is requested for the purpose of administering any law of Canada or a province;
• (i) required by law.

Although the PATRIOT Act may allow American government officials easier access to personal information, Canadian legislation effectually allows the Canadian government to do the same. This is a legal risk that organizations must recognize.

But should you be worried?

According to PIPEDA Case Summary #394, Canadian organizations would normally be subject to such requests in the “national security and anti-terrorism context.”

It’s also important to note that section 215 of the PATRIOT Act could allow U.S. intelligence agencies to obtain your personal information from Canadian organizations anyways:

“Section 215 of the Patriot Act has proven to be a controversial provision in both the United States and Canada. Canada’s Privacy Commissioner and British Columbia’s Information and Privacy Commissioner have both expressed concerns that section 215 could allow U.S. intelligence agencies to obtain personal information about Canadians from U.S. companies with offices in Canada, or from U.S. companies in the United States who hold personal information of Canadians due to outsourcing contracts.”

Canadians must realize that their personal information can be disclosed to government officials in either America or Canada without their consent if it is necessary for law enforcement.

The Patriot Act Is a Vital Weapon in Fighting Terrorism

Nathan A. Sales is a law professor at George Mason University School of Law. He previously served at the Justice Department, where he helped write the Patriot Act, and was deputy assistant secretary of homeland security.

UPDATED MAY 23, 2014, 10:40 AM

America needs the Patriot Act because it helps prevent terrorism while posing little risk to civil liberties. The law simply lets counterterrorism agents use tools that police officers have used for decades. And it contains elaborate safeguards against abuse.

Consider the three provisions Congress renewed last May.

1. Congress authorized “roving wiretaps” back in 1986 -- court orders that allow police to monitor criminals even if they switch phones. The Patriot Act allows the same thing in terrorism investigations. The law levels the playing field: If a roving wiretap is good enough for Tony Soprano, it’s good enough for Mohamed Atta.

The Patriot Act features strict safeguards. Agents can’t eavesdrop unless they get a judge’s permission. They must demonstrate that the suspect is a terrorist. And they must notify the judge when they go up on a new phone.

2. Grand juries in criminal cases routinely subpoena “business records” from companies like banks and retailers. The Patriot Act lets counterterrorism agents get the same documents.

The law simply lets counterterrorism agents use tools that police officers have used for decades.

The act’s protections are even stronger than the grand jury rules. Prosecutors issue subpoenas unilaterally, but the Patriot Act requires the F.B.I. to get a judge’s approval. Americans can’t be investigated on the basis of First Amendment activities, and special limits apply to sensitive materials like medical or library records.

3. Before 9/11, it was difficult for authorities to monitor “lone wolves” with murky ties to overseas terrorist groups. The F.B.I. suspected that Zacarias Moussaoui was a terrorist, but agents hadn’t connected him to Al Qaeda, so it wasn’t clear they could search his apartment. Congress fixed that problem. Now, agents can monitor a terrorist even if they haven’t yet found evidence he belongs to a foreign terrorist organization.

Again, the Patriot Act has robust safeguards. Agents have to convince a judge to let them track a lone wolf. This tool can only be used to investigate international terrorism, not domestic. And it doesn’t apply to Americans, only to temporary visitors like tourists.

A decade after 9/11, the Patriot Act remains a vital weapon in the war on terrorism. Al Qaeda hasn’t given up. Neither should we.
