Pokmon Go update: Downloading latest version resets progress in game, leaving players devastated


Pokemon Go Update - iOS 1.1.0 & Google Play 0.31.0 - 3 STEP GLITCH FIXED?? / NERFS & BUFFS

As if it wasnt bad enough that the new Pokmon Go update has removed the games step counter, some players are suffering from a glitch that takes their avatar back to level one.

Hundreds of angry fans took to Twitter to vent their frustration after the latest and biggest update left them back at square one, removing their beloved Pokmon and gathered items.

One social media user noted: My Pokmon Go just reset and I lost everything... Level character, Pokmon... That is it for me. Deleted the app already.

Another said: Went to open my Pokemon game and it"s been reset?!? I am back to level one with no Pokmon or anything?!?

Some have called on Niantic, the games developers, to refund any money spent on the game. (Despite the game being free-to-play, there is the option of spending real money on the in-game currency.)

Players have said logging out of Google Mail on the Safari app will fix the glitch, but this has been untested and unconfirmed.

The reality star got some horrible news just days after divorce filing.


Toya Wright on Dealing with Lil Wayne"s Male Groupies

Toya Wright has been hit with some heartbreaking news.

The Marriage Bootcamp star"s brothers Rudy & Josh Johnson were reportedly both killed in a shooting in New Orleans in the wee hours of Sunday morning.

The New Orleans police department tweeted about a shooting at the intersection of Pauger & N. Miro in New Orleans, at 1:26am. While the identities of the victims and the circumstances of the shooting are yet to be confirmed, it is believed the tweets are connected to the Johnson brothers" deaths:

Rudy Johnson was about to be a father for the second time, and his baby"s mother appeared to confirm the news of his death:

Toya reportedly got the call with the tragic news while on stage, and understandably had to leave the set. This comes just three days after Toya reportedly finally decided to file for divorce from her husband Memphitz, making this undoubtedly one of the worst weeks in the reality star"s life.

K. Michelle, who has been beefing publicly with Toya for some time now, decided to put their differences aside and was among the first to offer her condolences to Toya:

This story is developing and details are scarce, but our thoughts and prayers go out to Toya at this difficult time.

Questions remain about killing of San Diego policeman


Police Officers Shot in San Diego

Flowers and candles were left at the San Diego Police Department memorial to officers who died in the line of duty the morning after an officer-involved shooting left one officer dead and one wounded. San Diego Police Chief Shelley Zimmerman held a press conference Friday, July 29, 2016, to update the media on the death of police officer Jonathan DeGuzman and the condition of injured police officer Irwin Wade who were both shot Thursday night. (John Gastaldo/The San Diego Union-Tribune via AP) syndication.ap.org

SAN DIEGO (AP) Investigators viewed body-camera footage to learn how one San Diego police officer was killed and another seriously injured in a gunbattle during a traffic stop. But the city"s police chief said Saturday that she has yet to determine if the shooting was similar to targeted, premeditated attacks on police in other parts of the country.

Chief Shelley Zimmerman and Mayor Kevin Faulconer visited briefly with the wounded officer, 32-year-old Wade Irwin, at the hospital on Saturday morning, but investigators were still unable to interview him after surgery. Zimmerman reiterated that Irwin was expected to fully recover, and Faulconer said the nine-year veteran of the force "looked good, all things considered."

Zimmerman didn"t say what the police body camera footage showed and declined to comment on other aspects of the investigation, saying lots of ballistics, forensics and other evidence had to be processed. She stopped short of tying the shooting to killings of officers this month in Dallas and Baton Rouge, Louisiana, which have put police departments on high alert across the country.

"Until more information becomes available, we"re not going to tie it to anything else," Zimmerman said at a news conference at UC San Diego Medical Center, where Irwin is recovering. "I want to be clear. We"re not making any correlation. We just don"t know yet."

The officers, members of an anti-gang unit, were uniformed, wore bulletproof vests and drove a marked car. Zimmerman said Saturday that it was still unclear if they stopped for pedestrians or motorists in the blue-collar neighborhood of southeastern San Diego.

The mayor and police chief also visited Saturday with the wife and two children of Jonathan DeGuzman, 43, the officer who died in Thursday night"s shooting after surviving a stabbing 13 years earlier while on duty. The 16-year veteran of the force had been stabbed in the right arm in 2003 after pulling over a driver for speeding, and he shot the aggressor in the hip after the man tried to stab him again.

Zimmerman, who worked with DeGuzman before she was elevated to chief in 2014, said she informed DeGuzman"s wife 13 years ago that he survived the stabbing. DeGuzman received the department"s purple heart for valor in that traffic stop.

"I was able to at that time tell his wife that he was going to be OK and, as I was driving over there that night, I knew I was going to have to make the notification that he was not going to be OK, he was not coming home, and nothing prepares you for that," Zimmerman said.

Jesse Gomez, 52, was arrested on suspicion of murder and attempted murder after he was found in a ravine almost immediately after the shooting, suffering from a wound to the chest. He is expected to survive.

Police have given no further information about Gomez or a man they describe as a second "potential suspect," Marcus Cassani, who was arrested Friday on an unrelated warrant after a massive search that included SWAT officers swarming around two San Diego houses. Police have yet to definitively link Cassani, 41, to Thursday"s shooting, Zimmerman said Saturday.

An Anaheim, California, man who identified himself as Cassani"s father on Saturday handed the phone to his daughter, who said it was ongoing investigation and that the family had nothing more to say. She didn"t identify herself further and hung up.

What is the End of the World ?


Why The World Will End Surely on 29 July 2016 ? Shocking Facts

Every year of the calendar, for ages and ages, up to and including this year, there have been religious persons convinced that the end of the world was coming soon. People in numerous religions have held this view. But the end never comes.

It would disclose a high degree of vanity in me were I to announce that the end of the world would occur during my life span. If the whole panoply of world history comes to an end in my life, that would make me pretty special indeed. It also means my worldview would be dramatically and cataclysmically affirmed as the correct interpretation of all things. It would mean too that I"d likely not endure a dram of pain via dotage and death.

Every few decades true-blue end-timers rid themselves of possessions, quit jobs, and sometimes travel to remote spots to wait--because the end is coming "Tuesday." Then Wednesday happens. Every time.

But why must the world come to an end for a religious person? Isn"t it be enough for my own singular life to come to an end? If I am so desirous to see the otherworld, to see G*d, I may do so any day through the portal of death. I needn"t take the entire world with me.

As with so many other opinions emerging from religious literature, end-of-the-world belief is yet another instance of readers lacking literary sophistication.

The End of the World is Not Really About the End of the WorldKeep in mind that the end of the world idea is a literary invention. Gifted ancient writers, using literary devices like verisimilitude, allegory, imagery, hyperbole, metaphor, and symbol, dreamed it up.

In religious literature, stories about the beginning of the world are not really about the actual beginning of the world. Stories about the end of the world are not really about the actual end of the world. In fact, origin stories are not about the past at all: they are not eyewitness reportage, they are not history, they are not diary entries detailing actual bygone events. Similarly, end-time stories are not about the future at all: they are not predictions, they are not vaticinations, they are not crystal-ball visions.

If stories of the beginnings are not about the past, and if stories of endings are not about the future, then what time period are these stories about? The answer is that these stories are really about the PRESENT--any present. The stories are fictive efforts offered as instructions for the present moment.

Religious stories of beginnings often describe utopias past--perfect places that serve to indict any present moment as morally inferior and needing correction. These utopias did not exist in the past. (No Eden.) But as fictional stories of a perfect past they serve as utopic indictments of the present.

Religious stories of the end of the world often describe horrific dystopias--morally tainted places that serve to indict any present moment as risking a slick slope to ethical oblivion. Depictions of these dystopias are instructive fictions, not windows on actual future events.

Literalizing these stories misses the point of their literary art. The authors who conjured these stories knew they weren"t depicting actual events and never intended the stories to be taken literally.

The Real End of the World and Its Religious UseThe actual end of the world is seven billion years out, timed to the dramatic convulsions of our sun, at which time other planets--Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn Uranus, Neptune (and Pluto?)--will also meet their end. Ten billions years of existence will have been a good run for Mother Earth, who will have kept all our remains to herself so as to bequeath them to a beneficient furnace--Sol, Solle, Sonne, Zon, and a thousand other names.

A long-lived Earth need not trouble the otherworld, the other side, heaven, h**l or any place in between. The otherworld had already been up and running for eternity past, which is quite a bit longer than the ten billion years allotted to earth, and the otherworld marches on into future eternality. As to the otherworld"s human residents, they"ve been entering the otherworld since Cro-Magnons padded Europe in bear socks and smocks thirty thousand years ago. And earth"s inhabitants can continue entering the otherworld for hundreds of thousands of years, perhaps millions. The otherworld, existing perhaps "outside of time," is not diminished by earth"s longevity.

The religious use of the literal end of the world, seven billion years from now, includes the following piece of advice: Make the moral most of your mere-near century of oxygenated existence, and in the years you draw breath, love the other sentient beings who overlap your time on earth, and value the present with a view to the future and a consideration for the past, and laugh (tenderly) at all those presuming to see an end where there are only more beginnings.

Brent Marsh released from prison after serving 12-year sentence


WATCH: Bill & Hillary Clinton PLAY With BALLOONS at DNC CELEBRATION!!

MACON, Ga. (WTVC) -- NewsChannel 9 has learned through his attorney that Ray Brent Marsh, the Walker County man who operated the Tri-State Crematory in Noble, Georgia, and who was convicted of improperly disposing of more than 300 bodies, was released from Central State Prison in Macon, Georgia.

McCracken Poston confirmed the details to NewsChannel 9 on Wednesday morning. Marsh was sentenced to 12-years in prison after he pleaded guilty.

WSB-TV was on the scene in Macon as Marsh walked free:

J. Allen Murphy"s grandmother Doris Mae Tierney was one of those whose bodies was improperly disposed. In reaction to the news, Murphy told NewsChannel 9, "I think the sentence was appropriate. People have served less time for murder."

In 1996, Brent Marsh took over the operations of the Tri-State Crematory after the previous owner, his father Tommy Marsh, declined in health.

In October 2000, a gas man claimed he first saw bodies scattered around the crematory. The Walker County Sheriff"s Office decided the complaint was a regulatory issue, not criminal, and nothing was done.

In November 2001, the Environmental Protection Agency in Atlanta got an anonymous tip that there were body parts in the woods near the Tri-State Crematory. Walker County Sheriff"s Office did a routine check, but didn"t find anything.

On February 14, 2002, federal agents got another anonymous tip that someone walking a dog in the woods on crematory property discovered a human bone. The next day, agents found 49 un-cremated bodies scattered in buildings and in other places on Marsh"s property.

A federal disaster team was brought into the area along with a portable morgue shipped from Maryland. The team began trying to identify the remains, a process made difficult because many of the corpses were in advanced stages of decomposition. Some were little more than skeletons.

Experts hired by the Marsh attorneys, Stuart James and Frank Jenkins, were prepared to testify that the methods of recovery were questionable and that the methods were made more difficult because of the lack of trained experts undertaking the investigation on the Marsh property.

The experts, however, never testified because the civil cases against Tri-State and the funeral homes that had used Tri-State to perform cremation settled after a second trial had begun in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia.

The search ultimately recovered 339 uncremated bodies. Of the 339 bodies that were discovered, 226 were identified. DNA testing was possible in those cases where a living relative was available, but in other cases, it was considered unlikely officials would ever be able to identify the remains.

It was later revealed that instead of cremated remains, Marsh gave some families concrete dust.

Marsh later claimed that his crematory machine was broken. But at the time, several other cremation experts said that even if the machine had broken down, proper maintenance would have kept the incinerator working, noting that most oven manufacturers have regular maintenance programs available.

The state of Georgia ultimately charged Marsh with 787 counts, including theft by deception, abusing a corpse, burial service related fraud and giving false statements. When he pleaded guilty, Marsh told victims, "To those of you who may have come here today looking for answers, I cannot give you."

Almost 1,700 members of the families of the identified corpses sued Tri-State and the funeral homes that had shipped the bodies there, and were eventually granted class-action status in two courts in two different states.

The class certification hearings resulted in certification of a class action after hearings were held in Hamilton County, Tennessee in front of Judge Neal Thomas. Judge Thomas, and the Oden class action, certified the numerous cases pending in the State of Tennessee as a class action.

The funeral homes sued Tri-State and Marsh, eventually settling first for $36 million with the plaintiff"s class in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia. Ultimately, the Marsh defendants also settled for $3.5 million after their insurer, Georgia Farm Bureau, agreed to pay the settlement.

As part of the settlement reached, by spring 2005 all buildings on the Tri-State property were razed. The property will remain in a trust so that it will be preserved in peace and dignity as a secluded memorial to those whose remains were mistreated, and to prevent crematory operations or other inappropriate activities from ever taking place there.

In addition to his 12-year prison term, Marsh was also sentenced to 75 years of probation.

On February 7, 2007, a week before the five-year anniversary of the discoveries at the former crematory, the criminal defense attorneys for Marsh revealed that physiological testing had indicated that Brent Marsh was a victim of mercury toxicity from the cremation of bodies with mercury dental amalgam. They stated that a faulty ventilation system exposed both Marsh and his father to toxic levels of mercury.

UPDATE: Several viewers who had family members involved in the scandal have shared their thoughts on our Facebook page. Here are some of them:

"The hurt is real. We tried to move on, to cope. We were violated and to hear people say he did his time, let him be free. What about us, we did the time too, and we will never be free." --Twylia Corbin"My father was cremated there... (We hope!) his remains were never found on the property, and we have human cremains, (tested after retrieving them from his grave, and having them analyzed by the GBI! There are no way to know whether they are actually my father, but by faith, we believe they are, and so we re-interred them to his grave. And still I say, he has served his time. It is now time for all of us, including him, to get on with our lives, forgive him and those that have done us wrong, don"t remain bitter, yet find the happiness that is there for us if we can only seek it." - Jay Westmoreland"I personally have an aunt that was found on his property so sorry by "served his time " doesn"t cut it for my family. Going for DNA testing "re burying my aunt. This was traumatic. He didn"t get enough time. He is sick." --Brian Muir"My aunt was torn into pieces through all of this then they gave her someone else"s ashes ! With him being out it brings all the pain back to these families." --Angela Bradshaw" He returned my step-grandmother in her urn as soil and silver coat buttons. She was to be cremated in hospital gown. So, she was just a pile of decay on top of another loved ones decayed matter. No matter what he does now and how great he seems their is evil hiding in there. Evil doesn"t just go away. He should be spending his LIFE in prison." --Jessica Norman"As the daughter of someone who wound up there ,12 years is not enough. When we found out what had happened, it was like she"d died all over again. Those of you who say 12 years is enough, and that he did his time: I have no idea where my mother wound up. Is 12 years really enough time? Had it happened to you, you"d think what we"re all thinking." --Tiffany Daniel Duffy"My brothers body was never found, he should have never gotten out !" --Brenda Hill"My dad"s body was never found either,a ww2 vet that served our country in war,and worked had all his life ,we had to go to national cemetery and take up his ashes ,take them to Trion ,it was rocks.,how would you people feel if you had to do that." --Pat Welch

UPDATE: Marsh returned to his home in Walker County Wednesday afternoon:

This is a developing story. Depend on NewsChannel 9 for updates as we get them.
