Nearly 10,000 people have died in the Yemen war since 2015, when Saudi Arabia and its allies joined the government’s fight against the Huthis.
The United Nations has called Yemen the world’s largest humanitarian crisis.
“Hezbollah denies” LOL that is funny. Hezbollah knows the art of constant denial from their paymasters. They are still in denial over their denials. Really be it the Iranian mullah government or any number of their minion militias, nobody ever believes a damn thing coming from the militant jihad shiites. compulsive lairs, the lot of them.
(News picture) Look at that old Houthi with the Lee Enfield holding up a picture of Iran’s main proxy minion. Sickening how the brainwashing works so well on the weak minded. The only thing missing is a cheek full of narcotic Qat.

Different types of shell suit different decorating schemes.
Fishnet and seashells can evoke several subtly different themes, depending on how you use them. They can be vintage and quirky as part of a nautical style, sophisticated and clean as part of a Cape Cod beach house look, or simply fun and lighthearted as seaside decor. From kitschy to classy, fishnet and shells can suit any ocean-inspired design.
Because netting is so flexible, you can hang your items in a wide variety of ways. For example, hang the netting spread taut over a wide stretch of wall and glue on a few large shells as sparse decoration. Twist the net into a thick rope and glue small shells into the crevices, then shape the rope into a wreath or use it as a curtain tie-back. Cut a narrow strip of net with a few loose strings dangling from the bottom, tie shells onto them and hang it like a banner over a mirror or door.
A nautical home look is a masculine variation of the vintage decor trend. As part of this style, fishnets and seashells would be accompanied by old maps, globes, telescopes, rusted metal, driftwood and ships in bottles. Paint the wall a deep shade of gray as a backdrop. Use either thick, sturdy nets or tattered nets that look like they have weathered storms at sea, and select brown shells with irregular shapes. Avoid perfect-looking pink shells and clean, white nets. Hang the net and shells in the library, hallway or dining room.
The clean, crisp, classically American look of the white-and-blue beach house is part of the national consciousness. Used inside or outside, fishnets and seashells make good wall accessories for this decorating style. The rope in the nets can be thick or thin, new-looking or sun-bleached; the shells should be neutral-colored, clean and smooth. Hang them on your patio, over your fireplace or in your bathroom. Paint and upholster in various shades of blue and white, and use beige, salmon or true red as an accent tone.
Large, perfectly pink seashells glued or tied to clean, uniform netting suit a charming seaside look. Ideal for bathrooms, kids' bedrooms and breakfast nooks, the shells are playful and appear like souvenirs. Complement them with fish decals on windows, chunks of coral on shelves, yellow or teal paint and curtains, and family photos of beach trips or vacations. Hang a thin strip of netting with dangling shells around the top of the room as a border, or spread a larger net across the wall behind the breakfast table. Net-and-shell mobiles and wind-chimes can make the room even more fanciful and fun.

HARTFORD — With three penalties in 65 minutes, with all the scoring done in 11 and a half minutes, Tuesday night’s game flew by. And after a shaky start, it looked as if the game might fly right past the Bridgeport Sound Tigers, too.
Bridgeport settled in, came back with two quick goals and beat Hartford 3-2 in a shootout at the XL Center.
“We rolled four lines tonight. It was nice to put one line after another over the boards, over the boards, over the boards,” Bridgeport coach Brent Thompson said.
Even with two promotional time outs a period, the second and third periods didn’t take a half-hour to play. The game flowed, and Bridgeport had some chances, especially in the third.
Wotherspoon (who was scratched in the last game, Saturday’s win at Wilkes-Barre/Scranton) and defense partner Chris Casto got shots through to spark a flurry that lasted into a third shift midway through the third period.
But the Sound Tigers couldn’t solve Marek Mazanec, who stopped the last 25 Bridgeport shots after he relieved Hartford’s starting goalie, Dustin Tokarski.
Bridgeport’s Christopher Gibson finished with 25 saves. He went 3-for-3 in the shootout, while Chris Bourque beat Mazanec in the shootout’s second round.
1. CHRIS BOURQUE, BRIDGEPORT: Set up the tying goal; scored the only goal in the shootout.
2. CONNOR JONES, BRIDGEPORT: Went to the net to score the first Bridgeport goal.
3. MAREK MAZANEC, HARTFORD: Came on in relief and stopped all 25 shots he faced.
UNSUNG HERO: Otto Koivula sprang the break that turned into the tying goal.
“I think the guys managed the puck well, competed on the walls, weathered their storm, because that was a hard-fought game. That was a playoff-style hockey game,” Thompson said.
Wotherspoon’s long pass caromed off Travis St. Denis’ stick in the neutral zone, sending the Wolf Pack the other way, early on. Gibson stopped Vinni Lettieri, but Steven Fogarty jumped on the rebound.
Ryan Gropp scored after picking off a Kieffer Bellows clearing attempt five minutes later, and Hartford led 2-0.
Bridgeport came back with goals on a pair of two-on-ones, Connor Jones burying the first off a John Stevens shot that trickled through Tokarski into the crease, and Jeff Kubiak off a Bourque pass.
Josh Ho-Sang was scratched for a second game in a row; Thompson said he had upper-body soreness. Kyle Burroughs sat out with an upper-body injury he sustained Saturday night, and Steve Bernier was out ill.

Fire chiefs in West Yorkshire have pledged to spend more than £200,000 on improving safety equipment and training for firefighters following the devastating floods last winter.
West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Authority carried out a detailed review of the service's capabilities after the Boxing Day floods in 2015, which ravaged homes and businesses in parts of the region.
Now it has announced the authority will invest £230,000 towards improvements to water rescue equipment, and training, in the wake of the unprecedented demand during the flooding.
Jim Butters, area manager for operations support, said: “West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service has always been at the forefront when it comes to training and equipping crews for water rescue.
"However, on Boxing Day large areas of the county experienced flooding on a scale never experienced before and our firefighters worked in extremely challenging conditions. We are also attending an increasing number of rescues from fast flowing water and flood water, which has prompted a full review of our capability.
Improvements include transforming Todmorden Fire Station into a skilled swift water rescue station and providing equipment and training to crews.
The Calder Valley was one of the worst-hit area's in the region during the Boxing Day floods, and Todmorden Fire Station was effectively cut off by flood water.
A wildfire vehicle at the station will also be converted to carry water rescue equipment, to help crews respond to flooding.response .
As part of the improvements, powered boats, based at Bingley and Rastrick fire stations, will be replaced by boats which have more powerful engines.
The number of rescue sleds held on swift water rescue stations will be increased from one to three at Leeds, Rothwell, Ossett, Bingley and Rastrick stations and flood response radio units will be replaced by new radio equipment for crews.
New smartphones will also be issued for the region's swift water rescue and flood rescue teams, to allow crews to use GPS and mapping applications during search and rescue operations and assist in tracking resources.
And all fire engines will be equipped with additional flood suits and provide extra water rescue dry suits.
Lois Jenson and her coworkers Patricia S. Kosmach and Kathleen Anderson filed the lawsuit Jenson v. Eveleth Taconite Co. in 1988, after years of harassment at Eveleth Mines. The case became the first sexual harassment class action tried in US federal court and set a precedent for future harassment trials.
In 1975, Lois Jenson became one of the first women employees at Eveleth Mines Forbes Fairlane Plant. Jenson, a single mother, applied because the job paid $5.50 an hour and offered insurance.
Male miners saw the women as a threat. They looked at Jenson “like they’d never seen a woman before.” On her second day, a miner told Jenson, “You … women don’t belong here. If you knew what was good for you, you’d go home, where you belong.” Others subjected the women to unsolicited touching, grabbing, and kissing. Some women were threatened and stalked. Men drew pornographic cartoons on the walls and decorated workspaces with pin-ups.
In 1983, a senior engineer sent Jenson a relentless series of suggestive letters. Although she filed a complaint, the mine did little to respond. Jenson had had enough. In 1984, she filed a union grievance and submitted a complaint to the Minnesota Department of Human Rights.
In 1987, the state asked Oglebay Norton Company, the mine’s management, to pay $6,000 in punitive damages and $5,000 to Jenson for mental anguish in addition to adopting a sexual harassment policy. When Oglebay Norton agreed to adopt the policy but refused to pay damages, the case moved to the Minnesota Attorney General’s Office and was given to Helen Rubenstein. After hearing the women’s similar experiences, Rubenstein agreed to bring the case as a class action, something that had never been done.
Rubenstein had to find women to join Jenson. Though many feared workplace retaliation, Lois found a partner in senior union member Pat Kosmach. Ten months after taking the case, however, Rubenstein became overwhelmed, and Jenson and Kosmach chose Sprenger & Associates (later Sprenger & Lang) to replace her. Paul Sprenger—the only attorney interested in bringing the case as a class action—assigned Jean Boler to the case.
On August 15, 1988, Sprenger filed a suit on behalf of Jenson, Kosmach, and a third woman, Kathy Anderson, in the US District Court’s Minnesota district. The filing, Lois E. Jenson and Patricia S. Kosmach v. Eveleth Taconite Co., aimed to certify the case as a class action and obtain an injunction forcing the mine to adopt a sexual harassment policy. Federal District Court Judge James M. Rosenbaum heard the trial, which began on May 13, 1991, in Duluth. In December, he granted class certification but denied the injunction.
The remainder of the trial proceeded in two phases. First, a public hearing was held to determine whether Oglebay Norton was liable for maintaining a discriminatory work environment, began on December 17, 1992, before District Judge Richard Kyle. By then, fourteen other women had joined the class. On May 14, 1993, Kyle ruled that Oglebay Norton was liable. He issued the previously denied injunction and ordered the mine to educate employees about sexual harassment and address complaints.
Second, a private hearing was held to determine monetary damages. Kyle allowed it to be tried before a special master, appointing retired federal magistrate Judge Patrick J. McNulty.
The hearing’s discovery process was brutal. The women had led tough lives, and the mine’s lawyers explored painful personal details during depositions that probed into the women’s sexual histories and childhoods. Jenson and some of the other plaintiffs had developed post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) from their experiences. Kosmach, who had been diagnosed with ALS in January 1989, died on November 7, 1994, two months before the trial began.
On March 28, 1996, McNulty awarded between $2,500 and $25,000 to each woman. Alarmed by errors they claimed McNulty had committed during the closed hearing, Sprenger and Boler appealed to Kyle. When he refused to act, they appealed to the Eighth Circuit, which rejected McNulty’s ruling and criticized the trial’s drawn-out process.
The women and their lawyers prepared for another damages trial, but on December 31, 1998, weeks before the trial’s scheduled start date, the women settled with Oglebay Norton. Exact awards were not disclosed, but they rivaled the damages of other harassment suits.
5. Jon Hamm and Tina Fey - OK, so they're not actually a couple. But, with no disrespect to Jon's girlfriend Jennifer Westfeldt (who looked lovely in Armani) or Tina's husband Jeff Richmond (who we didn't see), these two have incredible chemistry. (More Hamm on 30 Rock, please!) As part of what was arguably the best part of the show—the Glee-inspired "Born to Run" performance—the funny duo hammed it up as Jon wrapped his legs 'round Tina's velvet rims.
6. John Krasinski and Emily Blunt - Walking their first red carpet as husband and wife, the newlyweds were the picture of a happy, handsome couple. Emily looked lovely in a romantic lavender Christian Dior gown, while John looked crush-worthy as always in his Prada tux.
8. Joel McHale and Sarah Williams - Joel could have shown up in a potato sack and we'd probably still have put him on this list. But as it happened, he looked very dapper in a classic tux and, even though we're horribly jealous of his wife, Sarah, she looked lovely in a simple black dress and a poppin' yellow clutch.
9. Kyra Sedgwick and Kevin Bacon - Although they've been married for 22 years, Kyra and Kevin looked just as much in love as the newlywed couples prancing around the red carpet. Kevin beamed proudly as Kyra, in a lovely plum Monique Lhuillier gown, pulled off a surprise victory over The Good Wife's Julianna Margulies as Best Actress in a Drama for her role in The Closer.

While I was riding my bike the other day I got to thinking about the debate surrounding longboarders on the bike path. That day, I happened to be starting the climb up to Copper from Frisco and noticed more than one group of longboarders coming down the hill. I do not claim to be an expert, but I felt that they were traveling at speeds fast enough to be near fatal. I acknowledge that anyone can come down that hill at great speeds, and I also acknowledge that the bike path is open for use to everyone, long boarders not excluded. There is huge risk traveling at those speeds, but I would like to note that a biker’s brakes are at his or her fingertips, whereas a longboarder’s are not. In fact, a long board is not equipped with official brakes at all. Perhaps I might be mistaken, but when longboarders travel down a hill at speeds fast enough to be fatal, while riding down on their backs, I fear that stopping the longboard is an incredible challenge. I will not dictate where one can or cannot ride a longboard, but I ask longboarders to consider the risk. When a longboarder speeds around a blind corner to find a mother taking a picture of her child and fails to find control to avoid a collision, the longboarder will not find much empathy. In fact, there might be so little that someone will dictate where you cannot ride a longboard.
Orlando Bloom has sold his lavish Beverly Hills mansion for an eye-watering $8.9 million, three weeks after placing the property on the market.
According to The Sun, the Hollywood star, 42, sold his home for the asking price, as he prepares to set up home with fiancée Katy Perry after the couple announced their engagement.
Orlando's stunning home is certainly a sight to behold, as it boasts four bedrooms, an outdoor bathroom and an enormous swimming pool.
Orlando had put his home up for sale in March for an asking price of $8.9m - or £6.8m - and it seems the star was successful landed the original cost.
Orlando is set to pocket a $1.9 million profit on the four-bedroom property located in LA's swanky 'Billionaire's Row', which he purchased for $7 million following his 2017 split from Katy.
MailOnline has contacted representatives for Orlando Bloom for comment.
Despite its discrete entrance, the vast one-storey mansion includes 4,000 sq ft of living space, lavish decor and breath-taking views over the Pacific Ocean.
The minimalist pad has a head-turning sunken seating area packed full of comfy-looking light grey sofas adorned with yellow cushions.
The grey and yellow themed continues through to another seating area, which centres around a flat-screen television, whilst overlooking an edge of the property's swimming pool.
The fresh, open-plan style of Orlando's home only serves to draw attention to it's enormous scale.
Floor-to-ceiling glass walls on all sides of the property offer views across the external wood-decked garden and outdoor swimming pool.
Beyond the greenery surrounding his plush pad, the star can enjoy sensational views across Los Angeles and onto the Pacific Ocean.
Orlando's mansion, which was built in the late 1950s, also has a sleek dining area with a large, glossy white table surrounded by covered chairs.
Continuing the clean white feel which the mansion's interior design hinges on, Orlando's fitted kitchen features built in white goods and an enormous wine fridge.
Wooden floors throughout ensure the movie star's home is welcoming, while white curtains offer the option of cornering off certain areas.
A second large white table to seat six people is adorned with a colourful floral centrepiece, and sits in front of another flat-screen television.
Offering a contrast to the harsh white walls and simplistic furniture, Orlando opted to have four quirky dark-wood chairs placed at his breakfast bar.
The actor ensures his stylish ensembles were kept in pristine condition with the help of a sizeable walk-in wardrobe.
Some areas of the dressing room feature transparent doors, while others comprise floating shelves, with lights above each to aid him when selecting the perfect attire.
Orlando's love of the outdoors is clear from the positioning of the bedrooms - of which there are four - which all contain floor-to-ceiling french windows.
One of the plush rooms opens out directly onto the swimming pool, meaning a morning swim is just steps away.
In a similar ilk, the four bathrooms within the mansion appear to open out directly onto the wooden garden decking.
The effect being that a large white stand-alone bath has the liberating feeling of being outdoors, with walls surrounding the property ensuring that nobody is overlooked.
Elsewhere, the mansion boasts further outdoor space, with white cushioned garden furniture positioned at the furthest corner of the grounds.
If the actor should want to entertain guests on a warm day, his pad features an outdoor table and director's chairs to fit eight people.
And, rather than having to traipse inside to shower after a relaxing swim, the property has the added benefit of an outdoor shower.
For the first time in roughly two decades, voters in Boston, Cambridge, and Somerville will vote in a highly contested Democratic primary — one that has received growing national attention.
Ayanna S. Pressley, a progressive and a familiar face in Boston politics for the last decade, will take on congressman Michael E. Capuano, a 20-year incumbent who possesses liberal bona fides of his own on Tuesday.
Capuano, 66, served as mayor of Somerville before winning a crowded Democratic primary in 1998 to represent Massachusetts’s 8th U.S. congressional district (since redistricted to become the 7th district), which cuts a wide swath across Boston and its suburbs. Since that time, he has never faced a serious challenge, comfortably winning the majority of the vote in all nine of his re-election bids.
Pressley, 44, the first woman of color elected to the Boston City Council, has won endorsements from local newspapers in addition to multiple state officials, including Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey ’92.
The winner of the primary will almost certainly win the general election in November, as no Republicans filed to run for the seat.
