Columbia University officials have ordered classes to be held virtually as they seek to de-escalate tensions on the New York City campus during pro-Palestinian demonstrations.


“To deescalate the rancor and give us all a chance to consider next steps, I am announcing that all classes will be held virtually on Monday,” Columbia President Nemat “Minouche” Shafik said in a note addressed to the school community.
She said faculty and staff should work remotely when possible and students who do not live on campus should stay away.
More than 100 pro-Palestinian protesters were arrested on Thursday on the campus after Shafik authorised New York police to clear an encampment set up by students demonstrating against Israel’s war on Gaza.
Shafik said she understands that many are experiencing deep moral distress over the Middle East war.

**Cop Rescues 92-Year-Old Man Turned Away at Bank Because His ID Had Expired**

Image
A Los Angeles County policeman went far beyond the call of duty while responding to a report of an  elderly  man having a fit inside a bank. Montebello Police Department Officer Robert Josett was answering a public disturbance call when he was faced with a 92-year-old man who was upset because tellers wouldn’t give him his money. The senior citizen’s California identification card had expired, and Bank of America’s policy requires that a valid government-issued ID be shown when making withdrawals.

With a little encouragement from the cop, DMV workers quickly renewed the man’s identification. And Josett brought him back to the bank, where he was able to get his hands on his money, just before closing time. The department posted a photo of the officer leading the man, who leaned on a cane, into t...

Teen girl kills Taliban attackers with dad's AK-47 after parents slain

Image
When her home was attacked last month, 15-year-old Nooria picked up an AK-47, killing two men and wounding a third. She was hailed as a hero. But the story behind what happened that night was more complicated. Did Nooria shoot Taliban attackers, or her husband? Or both? All names have been changed for safety reasons The men came to the village at night, under the cover of darkness. According to Nooria, it was about 1am when they burst through the front door of her parents' home. In her bedroom, the teenager, who was woken by the noise, stayed still and quiet. She thought about her 12-year-old brother in his bedroom. Then she heard the men take her parents outside the small, hillside home. She described the events of that night in an interview with the Biyetan News The next thing she heard were gunshots, she said. "They executed them." Nooria had grown up in the small rural village, in a volatile part of Afghanistan. She was an outwardly shy and quietly spoken ...
