 Suspect in New Year's Eve NYC police attack reportedly linked to Islamic extremism

who-what - whom-when -where-reason

A teenager accused of attacking three policemen with a machete on New Year's Eve near Times Square was charged with attempted murder and attempted assault, New York police said on Monday, in an incident the New York Times said was linked to Islamic extremism.

The New York City Police Department identified the suspect as Trevor Bickford, 19, of Wells, Maine, and said in an email on Monday that he had been charged with two counts of attempted murder and two counts of attempted assault.

Further details on future proceedings were not immediately shared by the police.

Authorities did not comment on the motivation for the attack, but the Times reported that the suspect was driven by Islamic extremism. The newspaper quoted an unnamed senior law enforcement official, who said that Bickford may later face extremism charges.

The Times said Bickford had converted to Islam sometime in the last year and a half.

Bickford had traveled to New York from his Maine home on Saturday, police said.

New York rang in the new year in typical style on Saturday evening as thousands of people corralled themselves into pens under pouring rain in Times Square, waiting to see a glittering ball glide down a pole mounted atop a tall building in the year's final seconds.

The attack, which officials say was unprovoked, took place late in the evening outside a secure area set up for New Year's Eve celebrations, Police Commissioner Keechant Sewell told reporters immediately after the incident.

One of the three policemen who were attacked and who had recently graduated from the Police Academy, suffered a fractured skull, officials said. All three officers were taken to a hospital but had been released by Monday.

One of the officers shot the suspect, hitting him in the shoulder. The suspect was then taken into custody, police said.

Bickford was taken to Bellevue Hospital for treatment, where he remained on Monday.

Before the attack, Bickford wrote a farewell letter to his family in a diary, the Times reported.

In the diary, he wrote to his mother, "I fear greatly you will not repent to Allah and therefore I hold hope in my heart that a piece of you believes so that you may be taken out of the hellfire," according to the newspaper.

Bickford also referred in his diary to his brother, who is in the U.S. military, as having assumed the uniform of the enemy, the newspaper said, citing the unnamed law enforcement official.

 In my opinion, there is no better or worse blogging platform. There is only better or worse content because it does not matter which platform you use. If your content does not offer value and mostly solves problems. Then I doubt any blogging platform will work for you.

It’s not about the platform, it’s about the quality of your content. But, seeing that we’re about to discuss one of my favorite topics, count me in. Because I have been exploring Quora and Medium for a while now. In fact, I am working on a particular Quora and Medium content marketing strategy as we speak.

Because deciding between Quora or Medium is nearly impossible once you get to know your way around these two platforms. Therefore, I decided not to choose, but rather to combine the two platforms. After all, combining them means access to just south of 1 billion visitors per month!

Quora and Medium is about a whole lot more than just answering questions and publishing articles. If you’re just sticking with those two options, then you are sadly losing out on a lot of traffic! That is traffic to any URL, including affiliate offers, by the way.

But, please, you NEVER, under any circumstances share affiliate links anywhere. There are ways to do that, and there are rules to abide by. Affiliate marketing is a lot of work, it is not as “easy” as is often suggested. But that is a topic and strategies I have covered many times.

  • Knowing Your Biggest Quora And Medium Assets!

With Quora, you have Quora Spaces. Whereas with Medium, you have Medium Publications. Truth be told, these two bear a striking resemblance. In a nutshell, with Quora spaces, you share (or schedule) other people’s answers.

With Medium Publications, you share both your own publications and those of writers writing for your publication. Therefore, besides answering questions and publishing articles. You also want to launch your own Quora Spaces and Medium Publications.

But, with Medium, you also want to get approved to write for other established publishers. Below is a list of 10 publishers on Medium I find really worth it to write for. Once your content starts getting featured on other publications, the increase in response will knock your socks off!

  1. ILLUMINATION.
  2. ILLUMINATION’S MIRROR.
  3. Reader’s Hope.
  4. SYNERGY.
  5. Bootcamp.
  6. The Writing Cooperative.
  7. The Startup.
  8. Better Marketing.
  9. Curious.
  10. Startup Grind.

Getting to know your way around Quora Spaces and Medium Publications, however, is quite a bit of work. It is not something you want to rush, because if you make one wrong move (especially targeting) then you will sadly be wasting your time.

Your Quora Space Title and Medium Publication Title makes up the slug on the URL. You must choose a title that best describes your content in 2 to 3 words. Those will also be your “target keywords”. Although with any title, I strongly advise you avoid using “English stop words”.

That’s what I thought the frst time I read about that, what the heck is “English stop words”? Just do a search in your browser for “English stop words”, and access a rather long list. For instance, starting your title with “The” might not be such a good idea.

Moving on, I cannot leave you with a list of great publications to write for on Medium. Without also giving you a list of 10 Quora Spaces you might want to check out.

  1. Skilled English Writing.
  2. Quora Product Updates.
  3. Quora Creator Hub.
  4. Life Is Beautiful.
  5. Stay Motivated.
  6. An Inkling Of Writers.
  7. Affiliate Link Traffic.
  8. Marketing Minions Unite.
  9. Online Business Daily.
  10. Affiliate Marketing Tips.

In conclusion, why must you avoid English stop words in titles. Any title, from Blogging to Facebook Groups. From Quora Spaces to Medium Publications. Your title determines where your site ends up in search engines!

In a nutshell, English stop words are basically pronouns and prepositions. These words can delay the potential that your target keywords, and ultimately your site (Website, Quora Space, Medium Publication, Blog, FB Group, FB Page, etc.) title might have in search queries.

happiness essay discussion

 

A) Although happiness is depicted among most industrialized societies pertaining to a higher income or status, throughout the film there's a recurring theme of happiness being obtained through various factors; in which none relate to wealth or status. Accordingly, happiness is essentially built upon social connections (friends or family), gratitude, compassion, love, and dopamine (which can be obtained through different methods). Given that humans are determined as "social creatures" in the film, it's necessary for people to interact, and these interactions thus promote happiness which results in living longer, satisfactory, or even meaningful lives. However, the film depicts the reality of detachment with humans in more modern societies leading to an unhappy "competent" nonetheless type of life, such as Japan focusing entirely on modernizing until the workers end up overworking themselves to death, as opposed to the nation of Bhutan in which GDP is put aside and gross domestic happiness is the center of focus. Overall the film highlights distinctive forms of happiness or rather the approaches in achieving such a tangible, yet overlooked upon feeling.

B) Intriguingly, it's apparent that extrinsic and intrinsic goals/values both contributed to happiness, however, extrinsic goals opposed that of the intrinsic goals. Despite the extrinsic values of praise, money, status, and image contributing to someone's happiness, it's just a brief occurrence. Whilst intrinsic goals such as, growth, relationship, and community have the long term impact towards happiness. In regard to these ideas, i've noticed some people strive to achieve a high income job to build a "good" life for themselves, however, in Asian cultures there's a confucuis piety that keeps family the main focus. Although everyone on my father's side work for their status or income and don't depend on each other, on my mother's side everyone who has immigrated give most of their income to their family back in  the Philippines and this promotes their happiness as they are aware their family is being supported. Nevertheless, I feel if these values weren't in my family, they would lie on the spectrum of feeling less gratified and therefore remain sad.

D) Back when i was in economics, i recall memories early in the course in which everyone in class was asked the subjective question "can money buy happiness?" During that time, I still thought to myself "no," however, it came to my suprise the amount of students who stated "yes". In response to the film, it appears evident that money can buy materials which bring joy, although this is only a brief excitement. The spectrum of happiness is too vast to be undermined by just materialist means or money, it actually lies within attachment to our mind and feelings through our acts, relationships not for ourselves, but others (as happiness is never prominent among selfishness). -> the neurotransmitters and hormones are on a whole other spectrum to discuss upon...

The struggle of undocumented Immigrant

             Vargas had separation his mother when he immigrated to the US. In “Dear America” the book that written by Jose Antonio Vargas “To take immigration, especially unauthorized, “illegal” immigration, out of merit-based,” “good immigration” v. “bad immigration”, “Less deserving v. more deserving” framework”(116). For the sake of his better future, he had separation with his mom and came to the United States without knowing that using fraudulent travel documents arranged by his grandparents. Vargas had sacrificed his life he had not only been separated from his mother, but also from himself. The pain of feeling separation is uneasy as a young kid but whenever he missed his mom, he can only to make himself relief by making phone call and writing a letter to his mom. Though he knew that his mom was sad the only way he could made his mom happy in return as being a good student and get a good grade. While at the Crittenden Middle School he was giggled by his classmate because of his Tagalog thick accent but he was eager to learn and trying to make himself successful more than his academic subject.

Inconsolably ,another trauma of his life was occurred when he was trying to apply the driver license unfortunately, he found out that his documents were fake he was turned out illegal. In the article of “Dear America “Jose Antonio Vargas mentioned that “Being “illegal” translated to limitation of what my life was and what it could be”. I can feel how he had faced difficulties and struggling for staying as undocumented immigrant. Undocumented issue is a major problem because they had faced a lot of problem such as lack of employment opportunities, limitation of assess medical benefit, limitation of travel. They had faced a lot of emotional distress every day because they worried about deportation if they got caught. Always felt unsecure. Vargas was felt devastated. Although he found out about being illegal immigrant he did not give up on the situation and trying to move on to achieve his academic goal. Vargas had grown up and keeping secret about his undocumented immigrant status struggling for his life to success. With the support of his second family and friend he was trying very hard finally  he can able to entering the field of journalism. He made himself and his carrier success, finally he became famous journalist. I was really impressed Vargas that he proved himself even though he did not have legal documentation he was trying to stand himself achieve his academic and career goal. We need to learn these good sample of Vargas he did not gave up and how he courage himself and trying to success in his career life.

 “Dear America” Jose Antonio Vargas stating in the article that “Whoever falsely and willfully represent himself to be citizen of the United States shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both” (71). Although he was aware the penalty and charges, he was no other choice and break the law unwillingly. He knew that might be exacerbated for someone. While applying a job Vargas had faced another struggle that he still had to lie to secure the job, the lies had built up one after another being out of his control, he feels a sort of disappointment and guilty having to lie at times even though he was not willing to do so. Although it is not acceptable for the use of someone’s identity information, he had no other choice to lie and get a job.  He was not meant to break the law, but he had to choose to survive and move on his life so that he had to neglect the consequences and solve his undocumented immigrant problem.

The generosity of others made him realize he wanted to be correct his way of trusting people along the way of his assimilation to American society. Vargas was trying himself to be a good human being not only to correct himself but also wanted to help who had the same situation liked him as undocumented immigrants. He aware that he could get caught and deportation. Although he knew the consequences and danger, he had scarified himself to reveal his identity and speak up for undocumented immigrant. Although Vargas did not have the legal documentation belatedly he was trying himself to achieve the career and also trying to stand up and speak up for all the fellow undocumented immigrants. He showed himself as a good sample to the fellow undocumented immigrants even though he did not have the proper documentation how to struggle attained every opportunity and stand up for his life. I am really impress and proud for Vargas also I have learn a lot of lesson and courage from Vargas.
