Aurora on notice to spark up anti-discrimination bill

The City Council is expected to hear arguments Monday in the trial of an anti-discrimination measure passed earlier this year, which critics say has the unintended consequence of discouraging businesses from hiring LGBTQ people.

This week, Aurora police are asking local businesses in the city to apply for a city ordinance banning discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity.

The city was one of 30 cities across the country to call a summit in January to take stock of existing laws addressing the issue, and the city’s efforts could ultimately lead to legal changes on the issue.

Under the proposal, employers would still be able to fire someone based on sexual orientation and gender identity but would not be able to fire people for race or religion.

Businesses would have 90 days to notify police if예스카지노 they wanted their jobs affected. The ban could take effect by April, and if approved, employers in the city would receive about $1.2 million in annual economic impact from the measure.

«The business climate will adapt to the new policy,» said Aurora Councilwoman Sue Sexton, chairman of the business committee that passed the measure. «If we do not adjust our culture to the fact that this is a significant issue, then I think it’s going to be a lot of people coming to our door.»

The measure has met criticism from gay and lesbian businesses in the Aurora area. They have said that the ordinance would be counter-productive to LGBT efforts to promote equality and equal treatment under state and federal law.

«This is going to be an uphill fight,» said Jim Wilson, president of the Colorado LGBT Chamber of Commerce. «They’ve taken a big step today and we want to keep doing this.»

Aurora, a predominantly white, suburban city of about 11,000 people, currently allows businesses to keep employment decisions out of personnel decisions. About 2바카라,700 are gay, lesbian or transgender employees and 1,60더킹카지노0 are out.

The city says it is trying to build a culture of inclusion with the ordinance.

«We think it’s very important that we start to recognize this as something that all business members ought to consider when they start to come out,» said Dan Cappello, who was the city’s deputy mayor from 2011 to 2014. «We’re still going to encourage those businesses, particularly gay and lesbian, that need to be comfortable with having employees with different sexual orientations and backgrounds.»

Police arrest 14 in drug raids

Police arrest 14 in drug raids

MICHIGAN COUNTY — Prosecutors have arrested 15 people in connection with a drug ring that netted $15,000 in drugs, more than 400 guns and a home in Westland.

Officials with the Michigan State Police Crime Lab say they seized a lot of drugs from an abandoned vehicle in the 500 block of West Monroe Avenue. Police say a group of suspects stole and sold «numerous weapons and items» over the course of several days, including a «handgun, pistols, and other weapons.»

They say officers on patrol in the area intercepted a suspicious vehicle on June 10.

The suspect’s parents called 9-1-1 around 2:30 a.m. after the vehicle’s odometer read 62,500 and they began getting nervous, the police report states.

In a phone conversation with police, they say the father told them his son had bought at least two guns and a box of ammunition since the beginning of the month. He’s a big fan of the movie Kill Bill, the report states. The father told police he had ju더킹카지노st gotten a brand new gun for his son and was preparing to buy more when he received a phone call from police. Police said the police officer had been on scene and said they had discovered two vehicles in the street, so the officers went to the vehicles and went to the door.

During a search of both vehicles, officers discovered multiple boxes of ammunition and multiple drugs.

Officers say they took six guns and a number of weapons, including a gun, a BB gun and two.22-caliber revolvers and four rifles.

The suspects are facing charges of:

Bereavement우리카지노 Neglect. A 12-year-old boy was taken to the hospital with injuries that he says were no카지노 사이트t life threatening, and he was charged with attempted homicide, armed criminal action, burglary with a dangerous weapon and criminal flight.

Salinity research goes underground for better yields

How much salt may our waterways absorb?

One of the most common questions people ask is how much salt may be trapped in the sediments.

We have not found any evidence that salt levels in the oceans have increased because of anthropogenic climate change — a warming trend that is also known as climate change hiatus.

But scientists have long suspected there might be some environmental stress from an increasing global population, which is expected to cause large swaths o바카라사이트f the planet to become uninhabitable by 2060.

One recent study from NASA, for instance, shows that if global warming continues at current pace, the rate of global land-sea surface warming would increase, contributing even more stress to oceans, according to a U.S. Geological Survey report.

Other studies suggest that, as the climate shifts toward warmer temperatures, sea levels could rise substantially from around the world and into the coastal areas where we live.

Scientists have also suspected that increases in salinity were caused by ocean acidification, which is a process in which ocean water absorbs more water than is lost from the atmosphere when sunlight breaks up sea water into ions and carbon dioxide, according to this paper published in the journal Science.

Sea level rise will cause some communities to be submerged. The problem? The higher the level of salinity, the faster the sediment will be eroded by seawater, says Andrew Stuckler, an ecologist at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution.

«At low salinity we would expect seawater to break out of the seafloor faster,» he said. «And with it going through the ocean floor more quickly then going through the land, that’s more likely to cause large changes in seawater composition.»

Stuckler and his colleagues simulated and estimated ho바카라사이트w salty seawater would be in the ocean if humans continued unabated human activity. Using current salinity levels for several thousand years, they calculated that the world would have experienced less than 3 percent less salinity (about three millimeters) from about 1900 until 2100 under different temperature projections.

The team concluded that human activity was likely the primary cause of the saltwater in the oceans. At current rates of atmospheric carbon dioxide release, they said, this saltwater loss will continue for many billions of years without an immediate, positive response to act.

If humans continue unabated with continued industrial and agricultural use, the researchers conclude, the water level of the oceans will continue t

Two yachtsmen await rescue off tas east coast of Australia

Two yachtsmen await rescue off tas east coast of Australia

10:43 am, 7 June 2012

PALMERVILLE – Rescue teams are on 바카라the scene for a missing yachtsman who went missing while attempting to retrieve more than 40 boats belonging to his family in the early hours of Saturday morning.

It is believed that James Lee Winton, 32, left his vessel «Dixie» west coast of Tasmania on Saturday morning.

Winton told friends and family that his yachtship was nearing a safe port and called for help just before midnight when he became lost, said a statement released by Tasmania Police Department (TPD).

The crew spotted a raft of yachts in the waters and began a search for the missing yachtsman while the ship’s owner called out «Papa, we are coming».

The crew rescued three other yachtsmen and tra우리카지노nsported the crew to Port Hedland.

The TPD said one man suffered minor injuries when he was thrown around as the crew struggled to find Winton and his missing crew mate, who appeared to have suffered a cardiac arrest.

The crew were working on the same location.

Winton’s mother, Jocelyn, and uncle, Tony, a former TPD captain, both released a statement confirming the death.

The TPD said it was assisting with the investigation and no further comment had been made by the Dixie owner on the matter.

On Friday afternoon, Winton’s wife, Anne, described him as an «allrounder and great young guy».

«He was a very passionate, caring son and we love him dearly, he left us with his brother, and we are just devastated and heartbroken,» she said.

Jocelyn Winton said that when they first heard of his disappearance she and her husband were «extremely concerned» and that they could not allow it to get them down.

She said that the family received a call from the Yachts Yachting Club on Monday evening to let them know of the tragic loss.

«We’ve obviously known of his death for some time, so this is real우리카지노ly devastating,» she said.

«We’re devastated and shocked. We have just got to keep moving.»

It is understood that Winton’s wife was involved with an offshore oil rig. Her partner, Nick, took over the role of the crew at about the same time as Winton did.

The crew was to return to Por

Martin’s season ruined by shoulder injury

Ahead of this weekend’s game against Norwich, Steven Gerrard is still dealing with his dislocated shoulder which is still healing.

A statement on the Liverpool FC website read: «As a result of his latest injury, Steven is now unavailable for selection for this weekend’s 카지노 사이트match at Norwich and will not be available to take part in Sunday’s charity match.

«This means that he will no longer be available to play or watch the match, but, in the case of Steven, will only remain at the club for the sake of Ste바카라사이트ven as he looks to return to a fitness level that he’s been working hard to reach this season.

«As a result of this setback, Steven has requested that his rehabilitation be made as easy as possible, a우리카지노t the moment this may involve taking up some short term rehabilitation on the sidelines to support the recovery process.»

Kosovo, a former independent province in eastern Serbia, was ruled by an ethnic Albanian, Slobodan Milosevic. Milosevic, elected president in 1999, is known as the architect of a 1990s Kosovo war, during which more than 100,000 people died, most of them civilians. The International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) has accused Milosevic of crimes against hum카지노 사이트anity and genocide against the ethnic Albanians living in Kosovo.

The Russian-born US diplomat was detained on 17 March when he left a New York hotel after a two-day visit with diplomatic friends.

US Secretary of State John Kerry has called the Russian diplomat’s visit «a very serious matter». Kerry’s spokesman, Victoria Nuland, s바카라사이트aid the US welcomed the «tremendous progress» in the fight against «terrorist groups in eastern Ukraine». She also said the US would continue to train a rapid response force to protect US personnel and cargo in eastern Ukraine.

우리카지노Earlier this month, the UN said it was confident the situation in eastern Ukraine was no longer a «serious crisis» and it condemned the «horrific abuses» committed by Ukrainian forces.

Russian foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova rejected the UN’s call for an immediate cessation of hostilities, pointing to Russia’s commitment to support its Baltic neighbours and saying it had not withdrawn its forces from Ukraine.

Gouging claims wont affect desal deal as it’s a legal issue

The Supreme Court has approved the release of four prisoners who have been detained in the West Bank since May 1, 2011.The prisoners will be released after seven weeks and must be brought up to the standard for the work they are doing at the time.But the Justice Ministry has refused to grant them temporary leave to return because they face allegations of war crimes. The Justice Ministry claims these allegations have been made «without카지노 사이트 the necessary security clearances, and thus the prisoners are entitled to leave.»

Jailed Palestinians in Gaza have been subject to severe criticism from their rights defenders, the BDS movement and the 더킹카지노international community.

The International Criminal Court on Wednesday handed down three criminal charges against Palestinian terrorists, including killing, injuring or displacing over 5,000 people.

The International Criminal Court on Wednesday handed down three criminal charges against Palestinian terrorists, including killing, injuring or displacing over 5,000 people.

Citing the Palestinians’ continuing refusal to accept the court’s jurisdiction to probe their actions under international law as well as the fact that they are also barred from the International Criminal Court, the ICC office in The Hague announced its first case based on Palestinians’ refusal to receive independent investigative jurisdiction.

The ICC office, which brings charges of war crimes and crim더킹카지노es against humanity against alleged offenders from the African and Caribbean and the Middle East, issued the case under the name «Migrant detainees,» after its mandate was extended from January 2015 to March 2015.

«The ICC has, without the permission of the government, sent these prisoners to the International Criminal Court to investigate their war crimes, according to international humanitarian law, and the prisoners are denied independence and legal protection by the Israeli regime,» the prosecutor’s office said in a press release.

The case stems from a dispute over who is the only legitimate sovereign on the ground of which Palestinians are being held as they have been in Israeli military prisons since the Gaza war started three months ago.

The UN had threatened to launch a comprehensive investigation following several cases of Palestinian minors being abducted and killed during a series of clashes near the Jordan-Gaza border in 2005, 2006 and 2007.

BDS groups across the world, including the Palestine Liberation Organisation, Palestine Legal and Amnesty International, have made efforts to block any attempt by Israel to prosecute Palestinians in the International Criminal Court.

But the International Criminal Court could provide a remedy for the situation in the West Bank under international law.

Shell ceo says carbon price needed to tackle climate change was too high

Shell ceo says carbon price needed to tackle climate change was too high

The government has said carbon price, which has now been set at $20 per tonne for most purposes, was too high.

Saying it ha바카라사이트d not been a «fair and impartial price», it warned that setting a low price on carbon emissions was «highly speculative».

This included «a carbon price set by a small group of vested interests and institutions».

Mr Morrison told parliament in the wake of the Paris climate change agreement that the government would work with community groups to develop a $15 a tonne price.

The government, he said, would also develop a price on carbon emissions, using existing policy powers, under the national electricity market.

However, the federal environment minister, Josh Frydenberg, said the government’s new pricing tool, which had not yet been implemented, would allow for a gradual reduction in the cost of electricity over time.

Mr Morrison’s comments come after the Turnbull government announced its climate change agenda on Thursday which includes a new national action plan for the emissions trading scheme.

Mr Frydenberg said the government had identified «no short-term shortfalls in our environmental portfolio», because all policy levers were under «robust control».

He said Mr Morrison’s announcement had not been made available at the time and that the Government was currently working with community groups on a new carbon price.

A spokesman for Mr Morrison told the ABC it was a «matter for him and the government as well as the business community».

Mr Frydenberg also said the $15 a tonne price was not the final price as it was only a guide; «there’s a lot of other aspects to consider including how much will the market, with the new infrastructure we’re creating, and how will we manage the transition.»

«That decision in the end will be driven by the market and that means we need to take a very close look at the different forms of emission trading we need to bring forward,» he sa바카라id.

The government says the carbon pricing scheme will help create jobs, ensure that greenhouse gas emissions are cut, protect businesses from unnecessary carbon costs and reduce electricity prices by more than $US40 ($55) a year by 2030.

An Australian carbon prici카지노 사이트ng target could see about 70 per cent of Australians pay their fair share.
