NRA reports alleged misspending by current and former executives to IRS – The Washington Post

“This is the type of cleanup I would expect to see after a history of gross violations of nonprofit law,” said Philip Hackney, an associate professor of law at the University of Pittsburgh who worked at the IRS for five years until 2011 providing legal oversight of tax-exempt organizations.

LaPierre personally signed the 2019 tax return; such a document is customarily signed by the organization’s treasurer. “He is putting himself on the line, under penalties of perjury, which is what you do if you are trying to get in someone’s good graces,” Hackney said.

New York lawyer and expert on nonprofits Daniel Kurtz said, “It’s a smart move by the NRA instead of digging in their heels, though who knows how they came up with the numbers. It’s an admission of wrongdoing, for sure.”

Nasıldı kadınlar eskiden?
Eski Türklere gidip biraz kadından bahsedelim. İskitler, Hunlar, Göktürkler…
Orta Asya Türk Devletler’inde kadın her zaman üstün tutulmuştur. Onun da kılıç kuşanıp at sürmesi, ok atması günlük yaşamın bir parçası halindedir. Türk Mitolojisi’nde ise kadın, üstün bir varlık olarak tasvir edilmiştir. Hatta öyle ki Yaradılış Destanı’nda kadın, kainatın yaratılışına sebep olan bir ilham kaynağı olarak görülmüştür

Kadınlar ne erkeklerden üstün görülürdü ne düşük. Kadın, erkeğin tamamlayıcısıydı. Gerek toplumda gerekse de özel yaşamlarında bu hep böyle olmuştu. Bunlar M.Ö. 3000-4000 zamanlarıydı. Şu an M.S. 2018 yılındayız. Sizce hangi yıl gerçekten daha geride?

Şimdi biraz daha ileriye gidelim. İslam zamanına. Hani bugün İslam, kadınların evde oturmalarını sadece ev ile ilgilenip başka hiçbir şey yapmamalarını istiyor diyenlere inat, Hz. Hatice annemizi göstermek istiyorum onlara. Hz. Hatice, ticaretle uğraşan bir kadındı. Yani toplumun tam içerisindeydi. O halde şimdi ne değişti? Zihniyetleriniz mi? Ona göre mi yorumlamaya başladınız dini? Bana Ahzap Suresi’nin…

Doctors behind bars Amid the coronavirus pandemic’s second wave, medical workers in Belarus get swept up in the opposition crackdown — Meduza

Instead of traditional methods for preventing the spread of viruses, like encouraging masks, social distancing, and hand washing, the Belarusian president recommended “poisoning the virus with vodka and the sauna” and “breathing in smoke from a bonfire more often.” While most countries were introducing quarantine restrictions, Minsk hosted a Victory Day parade. By that time, according to the official statistics alone, more than 140 Belarusian had died from COVID-19.

Belarusian medical workers carried out their first protests against Alexander Lukashenko on August 12: they took the streets and formed solidarity chains to oppose police violence against protesters. They began facing persecution immediately. For example, intensive care physician Bogdan Shilnikovsky, who attended the solidarity rally on August 12, was taken to the detention center on Okrestina Street (over the course of the protests, this jail became an infamous symbol of police brutality in Minsk). He left the detention center in an ambulance and ended up intensive care — Shilnikovsky, who is diabetic, wasn’t given any insulin while in custody.

Currently, at least 20 medical workers are under administrative arrest and more than 150 have received fines over the course of the protests. The most recent, high-profile arrests involving medical workers took place on October 27, when law enforcement officers arrested 10 Cardiology Center employees and a doctor from the Fourth Clinical Hospital all at the same time (the medical workers had formed a solidarity chain on Dzerzhinskogo Avenue in Minsk). They all received fines ranging from about $250 to $320.

The crackdown on healthcare workers is still ongoing. On November 19, police officials arrested the 20-year-old administrator of a Telegram channel for opposition-leaning medical workers called Belye Khalaty (White Robes). The channel’s administrator is now in custody as a suspect in a criminal case “on organizing and preparing actions that grossly violate public order.” He faces up to three years in prison.

The Attorney General’s Office has also opened a criminal case against an emergency hospital doctor, who shared medical records from the examination of 31-year-old opposition protester Raman Bandarenka, who died after being hospitalized on November 12. While state investigators and Lukashenko have claimed that Bandarenka had “alcohol poisoning,” doctors maintain that he died of severe head trauma.

“Where words leave off, gesture begins. Don’t we speak of a person being speechless with rage, dancing with impatience, setting his teeth? The final motions of the soul are speechless, animal, grotesque, or of an incomparable beauty.”

Surviving Thanksgiving with an Eating Disorder

Nourish

Of all the holidays I celebrate, Thanksgiving is my least favorite. This shouldn’t come as a surprise; that I, an introverted vegetarian recovering from an eating disorder, do not enjoy a day where large groups of people gather to eat large amounts of rich and meaty food. But it almost always does.

My family isn’t doing anything special for Thanksgiving this year for obvious reasons, yet we’re still somehow in the minority in America. So, if you are celebrating the holiday and are struggling with eating, here are five tips I’ve learned in my recovery that have helped me survive—and even have a bit of fun along the way.

Number One: Bring dishes you’ll enjoy.

Even before I got sick, I wasn’t a huge fan of Thanksgiving food. But when the buttery mashed potatoes and thick slices of pumpkin pie I enjoyed as a kid suddenly sent my mind into…
