Snoop Dogg: 'Album artwork' takes another swipe at Donald Trump

Snoop Dogg apparently made another swipe at US President Donald Trump by revealing some new album artwork.

The rapper reportedly posted an image on his Instagram account which showed him standing over a dead body coverered with the American flag.

The body's foot had a tag attached which read: "Trump."

TMZ reported that the record cover was posted on Snoop's Instagram on Tuesday but it appears to have since been deleted.

Make America Crip Again is Snoop's follow up record to Coolaid, which came out in 2016.

The image pays tribute to Ice Cube's 1991 record cover for Death Certificate, which showed him standing over a dead body, also covered by the American flag, with a tag which said "Uncle Sam."

Ice Cube's cover caused mass controversy upon its release, leading to condemnations from Billboard magainze and widespread boycotts by retailers. In Oregon, there was an official statewide ban on displaying Ice Cube's image in stores.

SHOCKING NEWS: Father 'forced abused daughter to brush teeth with faeces and wear shock collar' - Read Full Story ...

Cheyanne Chalkley and James Howard Chalkley are accused of severely abusing children using belts, switches and a shock collar, among other tactics.

Cheyanne Chalkley is charged with two counts of injury to a child, and James Howard Chalkley is also charged with one count.

Three children reportedly told Child Protective Services investigators that they had been badly beaten with belts and "switches." Investigators found multiple bruises and abrasions on their skin.

One child also said that both Cheyanne and James Chalkley "take turns" spanking her.

A child also said James Chalkley has "used a shock collar on her," and that it "hurt more" than being spanked with a belt. The child also reportedly told investigators that it was the same type of shock collar used on dogs.

Among these horrific allegations, a child also accused James Chalkley of putting "poop" on her toothbrush and brushing her teeth so hard with it that "it caused her to bleed."

This comes after he believed the children involved "intentionally refused to clean up 'cat feces'" in a closet, according to an arrest warrant.

Man killed, teacher freed in California school standoff

Students and staff at an elementary school in California were safely evacuated Tuesday after a disturbance involving a parent who allegedly barricaded himself inside a classroom with a female teacher. The suspect was shot by police and later pronounced dead at a hospital, police said.

According to Riverside police, the incident started just before noon when the suspect stormed into the school. The man, identified by police as 27-year-old Luvelle Kennon of Riverside, allegedly punched a substitute teacher in the face and broke his nose before taking the female teacher hostage.

Officer Ryan Railsback said that officers and SWAT team members isolated the classroom and then helped to evacuate students and staff.

Negotiators had not heard from the victim while talking to the suspect, so the decision was made to go in and rescue her, police said.

The teacher was also transported to a hospital after being rescued, but suffered only minor injuries, according to the Riverside Police Department.

The motive was unknown.

Student killed confronting gunman in Spokane school shooting

Riverside Unified School District said that all students at Castle View Elementary had been accounted for, were safe and had been reunited with parents or guardians with proper photo identification. Students were in lunch at the time and not in the classroom, officials said.

"Our officers responded up to Castle View Elementary School ... for some type of disturbance, possibly involving one of the parents. When they arrived, they learned that there was some type of altercation that occurred and now a parent was barricaded inside one of the classrooms with what we believe is a teacher," Railsback said during a news conference Tuesday.

Railsback said authorities were not sure why the parent was at the school or whether there had been previous issues with the parent at the school. He also said police did not know if the parent had a weapon in the classroom with him.

"As far as we know, nothing's been reported that anyone saw actual weapons of any kind," he said. "He's not responding to our commands for him to come out, so far. ... He's barricaded himself in there and he's got a teacher in there so it'd be a barricaded hostage situation."

HOW TURKISH AIRLINES PLAYS POLITICS WITH AIRLINE MEALS

Turkish Airlines offers “picnic baskets” on flights from Northern Cyprus to Turkey. This is what it Turkish Airlines serves only on domestic flights. Thus, the meal service represents a political statement, i.e. that Turkish Airlines considers Northern Cyprus part of its domestic network.

I connected from Istanbul to Beirut and though the flight time is nearly identical, a much more substantial meal service was offered.

The picnic basket itself was delicious, as is most food on Turkish Airlines. It included a cheese sandwich, green beans in olive oil, and “homemade” chocolate cake. And it was served in a puesdo-picnic basket.

I thought this they are suppose to put a tag on the basket as thus: “occupied Northern Cyprus”. From history, Turkey ought to know its place.

The Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus is a self-declared state. In 1974, Greece attempted to annex Cyprus. In response to the perceived threat of the island’s Turkish population, Turkey invaded and has since occupied the northern part of the island. Greeks were expelled from the North and Turks expelled from the South.

LATEST: On George Low stabbing: North Cyprus murder suspect re-arrested

One of two men suspected of killing a Briton in North Cyprus has been re-arrested, but the victim's family has been told there is no hope of a murder trial.

George Low, 22, from Dartford, Kent, was stabbed to death in Ayia Napa in southern Cyprus in August 2016.

Mehmet Akpinar fled to the Turkish-controlled north with a second suspect where both were arrested for an unrelated offence and later freed.

He has now been re-arrested and jailed by the authorities in the north.

Mr Low's parents, Martyn and Helen Low, said they hoped the Turkish authorities would "do the right thing" and hand Mr Akpinar over for trial.

But an email from the Foreign Office to the family stated: "Unfortunately there is no prospect of Akpinar being handed to the Republic of Cyprus from the north. Akpinar will be returned to Turkey at the end of his sentence.

"This is because there is no extradition treaty between North Cyprus and any state other than Turkey. We are in the same situation now as we were before this arrest."

Mr Low said: "I can't believe it. We're completely devastated by this. We have been trying to be positive but this is so frustrating."

Their son's friend, Ben Barker, was also seriously injured in the attack, suffering stab wounds to his back.

Following the murder, Cyprus Police issued arrest warrants for Mr Akpinar, 22, and Bulgarian national Sali Ahmet, 42, but Turkish Cypriot authorities in the north refused to hand them over to the Greek Cypriot south and both were allowed to leave the country.

Northern Cyprus has no extradition treaties in force, other than with Turkey.

Gareth Johnson, the Conservative MP for Dartford, has been in regular contact with the Foreign Office, which is "taking the opportunity to raise the profile of George and Ben's case to the relevant parties".

Mr Johnson said: "The Greek Cypriot authorities should hand over any evidence they have against Mr Akpinar to the Turkish Cypriot authorities.

"Here we are, some 14 months after [George Low's] murder and still there's been no progress, and that needs to change."

Mom's incredible hack for getting her child to take medicine goes viral

Even as adults, the thought of children's medicine gives us the chills. No matter the flavor, from orange to grape, we have vivid memories of being force-fed a spoonful, only to quickly chase it down with a glass of milk or a treat.

But getting babies to open wide for a dose is even harder. However, one mom is sharing her incredible hack to get her son to take medicine -- and now, it's going viral. 

England's Helena Lee was trying to feed her newborn Calpol when she remembered reading about this trick -- all you need is a bottle and syringe. "No tears," promises Lee, as she shows how to use a syringe to fill the bottle's straw with liquid medicine.

Since her posting, Lee's hack has been shared over 120,000 times, with parents from all over praising her clever move. "My sofa covers, carpet and table got a share of the last lot I tried to give," said one comment. 

"So good idea! Have to try! We have already 7 months, but when it goes about taking medicines I'm going crazy!" exclaimed another.
