Fires continue to rage on both ends of California, spreading with breakneck speed and displacing hundreds of thousands of people in a state where a once-seasonal worry has become a near-constant terror. At least 23 are dead in the so-called Camp Fire, about 100 miles north of Sacramento, and two others have died in fir... |
With the discovery of 14 more bodies on Saturday, the Camp Fire surpassed the death toll in last year’s Tubbs Fire, which killed 22 people and was the third-deadliest fire in the state’s history until now. The deadliest, the Griffith Park Fire in 1933, killed 29 people. |
Many people in the area affected by the Camp Fire remained unaccounted for, and Sheriff Kory L. Honea of Butte County said on Saturday night that officials were expanding the team of people tasked with searching for bodies. |
But the fires that erupted this week did not follow those rules. And Paradise, in Butte County just east of the city of Chico, bore the brunt of the devastation. In what fire officials said was an unstoppable storm-front fire, beginning early Thursday morning, the Camp Fire has exploded across 105,000 acres and destroy... |
Paradise, home to about 26,000 people, was shrouded in smoke on Saturday. Flames still licked downed power poles, and ghostly chimneys jutted up from charred concrete foundations. Evidence of the chaos of escape lined the road out of town, in the charred frames of cars and trucks that were abandoned midescape. Some car... |
At Adventist Health Feather River hospital, which Mr. Stewart said he had helped build, a helicopter pad was filled with the remainders of an evacuation this week. Wheelchairs and beds, lab equipment and saline bags still hanging on their hooks sat jammed on the concrete pad, which was surrounded by a moat of rocks to ... |
The Camp Fire is not over. Only 20 percent contained, it still threatens other communities, including the edges of Chico, the biggest city in Butte County and the evacuation destination for many Paradise residents, like Mr. Stewart. |
For James Betts, another Paradise resident, the miracle of escape has given way to the losses he knows he will face back home. Mr. Betts, a 33-year-old groundskeeper at a tree nursery, had tried to get out on foot on the morning of the fire. He does not own a car, and none of the seven people with him, including a neph... |
A man in a pickup truck, known to none of them — Mr. Betts never even learned his name — pulled up and shouted for them to climb into the bed of the truck. And so they all made it. |
A spokesman for the Camp Fire command said that winds, which died down on Saturday, were expected to pick back up Saturday night into Sunday. |
President Trump weighed in on the fires on Saturday, saying he would withhold federal funds from the state. |
One of two major fires in Southern California, called the Woolsey, has also surged to about 83,000 acres, forcing the evacuation of about 250,000 people, according to state officials. It was 5 percent contained as of Saturday night. Fire crews in Ventura and Los Angeles Counties were fighting on steep, hilly terrain th... |
Mr. Osby said that winds were expected to pick up on Sunday and last through Tuesday, further complicating firefighting efforts in the region, and that they currently had no timeline for lifting evacuation orders or opening Highway 101, one of the region’s major thruways. |
At East Avenue Church in Chico, 200 people made temporary homes in church classrooms, in a gym filled with cots, air mattresses and couches, and in tents set up in a field on the property. As one of the few shelters in the area accepting pets, it was also teeming with displaced dogs. |
Pastor Ron Zimmer recalled receiving guests shortly after the fire broke out, with many arriving in vehicles that bore the marks of the flames. |
Kirk Johnson reported from Paradise, Calif., and Jose A. Del Real from Los Angeles. Scott Bransford contributed reporting from Chico, Calif. Julia Jacobs contributed reporting from New York. |
The U.S. Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP) report may curb the recent rebound in EUR/USD as employment is projected to increase 193K in October. |
Signs of stronger job/wage growth may heighten the appeal of the greenback as it boosts the outlook for growth and inflation, and it seems as though the Federal Reserve will continue to carry out its hiking-cycle over the coming months as the central bank largely achieves its dual mandate for full-employment and price ... |
In turn, a positive development may encourage the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) to implement higher borrowing-costs over the coming months, but another series of lackluster data prints may spark a bearish reaction in the dollar as ‘trade policy developments remained a source of uncertainty for the outlook for do... |
The U.S. economy added 134K jobs in September, with the jobless rate narrowing to 3.7% from 3.9% per annum in August. A deeper look at the report showed the Labor Force Participation Rate holding steady at 62.7% for the second month, while Average Hourly Earnings narrowed to 2.8% from 2.9% during the same period. |
The U.S. dollar struggled to hold its ground following the mixed data prints, with EUR/USD quickly climbing back above the 1.1500 handle to close the day at 1.1519. Review the DailyFX Advanced Guide for Trading the News to learn our 8 step strategy. |
Broader outlook for EUR/USD remains mired by the series of failed attempts to break/close above the 1.1810 (61.8% retracement) hurdle, but the recent decline in the exchange rate appears to have stalled ahead of the 2018-low (1.1301), with recent developments in the Relative Strength Index (RSI) warning of a larger reb... |
In turn, the lack of momentum to clear the 1.1290 (61.8% expansion) hurdle may spur a move back above the 1.1390 (61.8% retracement) to 1.1400 (50% expansion) region, with the next topside region of interest coming in around 1.1510 (38.2% expansion). |
The World Food Programme warned on Friday that 1.1 million Zimbabweans could need food aid before the next harvest in 2019, with rural smallholders most at risk of food shortages. |
Growing food prices and the country’s dire economic state could also affect those living in urban areas, the UN food agency added. |
“WFP plans to address the most urgent food security needs of 1,135,500 people during the peak of the 2018-19 lean season,” said the agency’s Zimbabwe spokeswoman Ashley Baxstrom in a statement. |
The WFP said that $71.2 million (61.1 million euros) would be needed for the planned response, with $22 million already raised — largely from USAID. |
The WFP’s warning follows a report by the Famine Early Warning Systems Network which said poor families in arid areas of Zimbabwe are running out of food. |
“These food security outcomes are expected to persist through March 2019,” said the network on its website. |
Livestock conditions were also deteriorating across the country due to water shortages and poor pasture, it added. |
Zimbabwe is battling an economic crisis that includes cash shortages, high unemployment and lack of investment which has caused the cost of imported food to soar. |
Newly-inaugurated President Emmerson Mnangagwa has vowed to fix the country’s economy after he was sworn-in last week following elections, the results of which were disputed by the main opposition party. |

All the screenings will take place in Edinburgh's Filmhouse, and they tackle some pretty hard hitting issues in thoughtful, imaginative and provocative ways. |
They include a look at the human reality of being designated an 'illegal' in a world increasingly unfriendly towards migrants, negotiating prison culture, and people power in the shadow of questionable elections. |
Tania has been living illegally in Belgium with her 14 year old son. Refused asylum from Russia she lives in constant fear of being caught. |
R has been sent to prison for violent assault. Determined to stay out of harm's way, he faces the challenge of navigating prison culture. |

Pamela Druckerman’s forthcoming Bringing Up Bébé is both the successor and antidote to Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother: In a nutshell, this year’s provocative parenting orthodoxy argues that less-neurotic child-rearing produces better-behaved kids. Here, three Carroll Gardens parents check the book against their own ex... |
1. French parents do manage to get their kids to sit still. |
French kids learn patience from traditional, deliberately paced, multicourse meals. |
Alexandra, French Mother of Two: We show them you don’t get up from the table, you’re part of the group, so enjoy your time together. |
Alexandra: Do they say they’re sorry? |
Tanya: They think it’s the funniest thing in the world! |
2. French parents don’t negotiate. |
Alexandra: One American couple we know, because they don’t want to raise their voice, every time something wrong happens, they talk to the child. Like if the child is on the beach and he’s sending sand to the eyes of his little sister, the mother comes to him and says, “You know what? We need to discuss this.” In Franc... |
3. French parents don’t lose sleep (at least not as much of it). |
French babies “do their nights” as early as 6 weeks old thanks to what she calls “La Pause,” a five-or-so-minute wait before attending to a crying baby. This teaches self-soothing, which staves off expectations of instant gratification. |
Alexandra: The sleeping area is very big in terms of privacy. If you let the child intrude there, you don’t have a life. |
Philippe, Tanya’s French husband: Which it was. |
Alexandra: “Don’t come to my bed,” but our kids would never come in our space. I guess it’s the way you raise them. |
4. Most important: French parents don’t make their kids the center of their universe. |
Philippe: French people are much more relaxed about being parents. You’re not, like, breeding a racehorse. In France, you don’t always talk about your kids. You don’t spend your weekends bringing them to sports things. |
Alexandra: We make fun of this in France, the soccer mom. |
Philippe: The typical weekend of an American kindergarten kid, is just crazy. I never went to this many birthdays. As a parent, and not even as a participant, I get overwhelmed. The cake, the food, the screams. I’m like, Oh my God. |
A Chicago police officer took her own life in the parking lot of a Far South Side police station early Wednesday. |
The officer, a 54-year-old woman who police said was a “veteran” of the department, was identified by the Cook County medical examiner’s office as Regine Perpignan of the Gresham neighborhood. |
It was the second suicide of a Chicago Police Department member in that parking lot since early July and the third suicide of a Chicago police officer in the last two months. |
The police department said it was making counselors available to officers in the Calumet District, where she was found in her personal car. |
Last week, Sgt. Steven Bechina, of the CPD’s Mass Transit Unit, shot himself while on duty in the first block of North Des Plaines in the West Loop. |
The Calumet District already suffered through two other officer deaths over the summer. |
On July 9, Officer Brandon Krueger, a 36-year-old officer of five years, shot himself in the head in the Calumet District’s parking lot. Two days later, Officer Vinita Williams, 47, fell unconscious in the station and died a short time later. |
The CPD, in a video published to YouTube last year, acknowledged the many stresses officers face. The department cited deteriorating personal relationships, civil litigation brought against officers, disrespect from civilians, bearing witness to tragedy on a regular basis, as well as the life-threatening nature of the ... |
The department video encouraged officers to reach out to the CPD’s Professional Counseling Division/Employee Assistance Program if they are feeling suicidal. |
The Professional Counseling Division/Employee Assistance Program is staffed 24 hours a day and is available to all department members and their immediate families. It is free of charge and not based in a police department facility. |
Guglielmi said the department recently hired four counselors and plans to hire three more, which would bring the EAP staff to 10. There are about 12,000 sworn members of the Chicago Police Department. |
Another Chicago police officer, who also spoke on condition of anonymity, said that after he attended counseling sessions through the CPD, he was ordered to submit to breath and urine tests. |
After that, “I sought help elsewhere,” he said. |
Guglielmi said that it is not department policy to subject officers to breath and urine tests after visiting the EAP. |
In 2016, the Badge of Life, a police suicide prevention program, said officers in the United States had a suicide rate of 12 per 100,000. |
When the Department of Justice released a scathing report on the CPD’s policies and practices the next year, it said the suicide rate of officers in Chicago was 60 percent higher than the national average. |
The draft of the consent decree between the city and Illinois Attorney General focuses heavily on mental health resources for Chicago police officers. |
Some officers decline to seek mental health treatment because they believe it could affect their eligibility for a Firearm Owners Identification Card — a necessary aspect of their employment. |
The nuances of His words were lost, I am sure, in the light of what had just been revealed. “…my brothers… my Father and your Father… to my God and your God…” It was a power-packed morning, with enough blatant impact to last an eternity. But in between the lines, Jesus also affirmed what He had been displaying His whol... |
God’s purpose in redemption is to give Jesus brothers and sisters. How cool is that? God wants a big family! He wants you and me to be in it, children of the perfect Father, siblings of the ultimate big Brother. |
Your Word says that if we receive Christ, You give us “the right to be called children of God.” Lord, I want to be a part of that family. I want to live as Your child; I want to be a sibling of Your Son. I want to learn dependence on You as I learn to live by grace with my other brothers and sisters in Christ. Thank Yo... |
