Meet the Miss USA Contestant Accusing Trump of Sexual Misconduct as Senators Call for Him to Resign
Published on Dec 12, 2017 by Democracy Now! [ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzuqE7-t13O4NIDYJfakrhw / https://www.youtube.com/user/democracynow , https://www.youtube.com/user/democracynow/videos ]
Five senators are now calling on President Trump to resign over allegations that he sexually harassed or assaulted women, and 56 House lawmakers with the Democratic Women’s Working Group are calling for a congressional investigation into the allegations. This comes as three of the 16 women who have publicly accused Trump of sexual harassment held a press conference Monday in New York, demanding that Congress take action. We speak with one of them: Samantha Holvey, a former Miss USA contestant for North Carolina when Trump owned the pageant. We are also joined by Cecile Richards, president of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America and the Planned Parenthood Action Fund, and we play an excerpt from the Brave New Films documentary

Alabama: The Special Election - Full Episode (HBO)
Published on Dec 19, 2017 by VICE News
The Alabama Senate Special Election shouldn't have even been close. President Donald Trump beat Hillary Clinton by 28 points in the state, and one of the reasons Jeff Sessions was chosen to be Attorney General was because his Senate seat should’ve been easy for the Republican Party to the defend.
But allegations that Judge Roy Moore’s had improper contact with teenage girls changed the race. Both Moore and Democrat candidate Doug Jones tried to keep the race focused inwardly on Alabama—even as both brought in outside help. On the Republican side, Moore had Trump strategist Steve Bannon stump for him. Jones welcomed former Vice President Joe Biden and a slew of African American political leaders. But both seemed to know the same thing: that this race would ultimately be decided by the people of Alabama, on their own terms, for their own reasons.
VICE News teams were on the ground in Alabama to hear from voters about the choice they were facing in the final days and hours before Jones's knife-edge win.

Roy Moore Drowns Us Out
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — At every home game at the University of Alabama, where I am a sophomore, the fraternities sit in a reserved corner of the stadium. My freshman year, they wore Trump stickers. This year, they traded them in for Roy Moore-style white cowboy hats.
Over the past two years, a group of students has sat below them, wearing black to protest police brutality. We also sit during the national anthem. I sat there many times, still and silent, while frat boys jeered drunkenly at our backs. Our act of protest was enough to evoke floods of angry responses:
If you don’t like it here, you should just move.
In America, we STAND for the pledge.
Go kill yourself.
In Alabama, my home state, it’s not always easy to speak up — or sit down, as the case may be. But there has never been a more important time to do so.

Having older brothers increases men's likelihood of being gay
Scientists say mothers who have more than one boy had higher concentrations of a certain protein
Earlier studies have noticed that gay men often have older brothers
http://www.cnn.com/2017/12/11/health/men-older-brothers-gay-study/index.html
study http://www.pnas.org/content/early/2017/12/05/1705895114
We may know why younger brothers are more likely to be gay
The more older brothers a boy has, the more likely he is to be gay when he grows up – an effect called the “fraternal birth order effect”. Now it seems that increasing levels of antibodies in a mother’s immune system could play a role.
Anthony Bogaert at Brock University, Canada, and his team think that some women who are pregnant with boys develop antibodies that target a protein made by the Y chromosome. Our immune systems make antibodies to recognise foreign molecules, which have the potential to be from dangerous bacteria. But pregnant women sometimes also produce antibodies against fetal molecules – for example, if their fetus has a different blood group. Bogaert’s team wondered if maternal antibodies might play a role in shaping sexual orientation.
The team collected blood from 142 women, and screened it for antibodies to a particular brain protein that is only made in males. They thought this would be a good candidate, because it plays an important role in how neurons communicate with each other, and because it is produced on the surface of brain cells, making it relatively easy for antibodies to find and detect it.
They found that the mothers of gay sons with older brothers had the highest levels of antibodies against this protein, followed by the mothers of gay sons with no older brothers. Women who had straight sons had less of these antibodies, while women with no sons had the least.
The team suggests these antibodies build up in some women’s bodies with every male baby they have. At higher concentrations, it is possible that the effect of these antibodies on the protein they target leads to changes in brain development that can have an influence on sexual orientation.
“I wouldn’t say we’ve solved the fraternal birth order effect puzzle, but we are getting close to finding a mechanism,” says Bogaert.
Brain wiring
The protein targeted by the antibodies, called NLGN4Y, is thought to play a role in how brain cells connect to each other, says Bogaert. “So it could affect brain structures that moderate attraction,” he says. “The mother’s immune response may alter the typical function of these brain structures.”
“This is a very important study because it provides a plausible mechanism to explain the fraternal birth order effect, perhaps the most firmly established phenomenon related to human sexual orientation,” says Marc Breedlove at Michigan State University. “Given that the protein is known to be important in synapse formation, you can see how maternal antibodies might affect the wiring of the fetal brain, and that might explain why each subsequent son is more likely to grow up gay.”
However, the team’s study only looked at a very small number of people, so strong conclusions cannot be drawn yet.
“The significance of this preliminary observation, if it can be replicated, is that it identifies specific molecules in the brain that may be important for heterosexual as well as homosexual development,” says Dean Hamer, a pioneer of researching the biological determinants of sexual orientation. The finding “could pave the way to a detailed neurobiological and genetic understanding of this fascinating aspect of human development”, he says.

Five senators are now calling on President Trump to resign over allegations that he sexually harassed or assaulted women, and 56 House lawmakers with the Democratic Women’s Working Group are calling for a congressional investigation into the allegations. This comes as three of the 16 women who have publicly accused Trump of sexual harassment held a press conference Monday in New York, demanding that Congress take action. We speak with one of them: Samantha Holvey, a former Miss USA contestant for North Carolina when Trump owned the pageant. We are also joined by Cecile Richards, president of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America and the Planned Parenthood Action Fund, and we play an excerpt from the Brave New Films documentary

Alabama: The Special Election - Full Episode (HBO)
Published on Dec 19, 2017 by VICE News
The Alabama Senate Special Election shouldn't have even been close. President Donald Trump beat Hillary Clinton by 28 points in the state, and one of the reasons Jeff Sessions was chosen to be Attorney General was because his Senate seat should’ve been easy for the Republican Party to the defend.
But allegations that Judge Roy Moore’s had improper contact with teenage girls changed the race. Both Moore and Democrat candidate Doug Jones tried to keep the race focused inwardly on Alabama—even as both brought in outside help. On the Republican side, Moore had Trump strategist Steve Bannon stump for him. Jones welcomed former Vice President Joe Biden and a slew of African American political leaders. But both seemed to know the same thing: that this race would ultimately be decided by the people of Alabama, on their own terms, for their own reasons.
VICE News teams were on the ground in Alabama to hear from voters about the choice they were facing in the final days and hours before Jones's knife-edge win.

Roy Moore Drowns Us Out
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — At every home game at the University of Alabama, where I am a sophomore, the fraternities sit in a reserved corner of the stadium. My freshman year, they wore Trump stickers. This year, they traded them in for Roy Moore-style white cowboy hats.
Over the past two years, a group of students has sat below them, wearing black to protest police brutality. We also sit during the national anthem. I sat there many times, still and silent, while frat boys jeered drunkenly at our backs. Our act of protest was enough to evoke floods of angry responses:
If you don’t like it here, you should just move.
In America, we STAND for the pledge.
Go kill yourself.
In Alabama, my home state, it’s not always easy to speak up — or sit down, as the case may be. But there has never been a more important time to do so.

Having older brothers increases men's likelihood of being gay
Scientists say mothers who have more than one boy had higher concentrations of a certain protein
Earlier studies have noticed that gay men often have older brothers
http://www.cnn.com/2017/12/11/health/men-older-brothers-gay-study/index.html
study http://www.pnas.org/content/early/2017/12/05/1705895114
We may know why younger brothers are more likely to be gay
The more older brothers a boy has, the more likely he is to be gay when he grows up – an effect called the “fraternal birth order effect”. Now it seems that increasing levels of antibodies in a mother’s immune system could play a role.
Anthony Bogaert at Brock University, Canada, and his team think that some women who are pregnant with boys develop antibodies that target a protein made by the Y chromosome. Our immune systems make antibodies to recognise foreign molecules, which have the potential to be from dangerous bacteria. But pregnant women sometimes also produce antibodies against fetal molecules – for example, if their fetus has a different blood group. Bogaert’s team wondered if maternal antibodies might play a role in shaping sexual orientation.
The team collected blood from 142 women, and screened it for antibodies to a particular brain protein that is only made in males. They thought this would be a good candidate, because it plays an important role in how neurons communicate with each other, and because it is produced on the surface of brain cells, making it relatively easy for antibodies to find and detect it.
They found that the mothers of gay sons with older brothers had the highest levels of antibodies against this protein, followed by the mothers of gay sons with no older brothers. Women who had straight sons had less of these antibodies, while women with no sons had the least.
The team suggests these antibodies build up in some women’s bodies with every male baby they have. At higher concentrations, it is possible that the effect of these antibodies on the protein they target leads to changes in brain development that can have an influence on sexual orientation.
“I wouldn’t say we’ve solved the fraternal birth order effect puzzle, but we are getting close to finding a mechanism,” says Bogaert.
Brain wiring
The protein targeted by the antibodies, called NLGN4Y, is thought to play a role in how brain cells connect to each other, says Bogaert. “So it could affect brain structures that moderate attraction,” he says. “The mother’s immune response may alter the typical function of these brain structures.”
“This is a very important study because it provides a plausible mechanism to explain the fraternal birth order effect, perhaps the most firmly established phenomenon related to human sexual orientation,” says Marc Breedlove at Michigan State University. “Given that the protein is known to be important in synapse formation, you can see how maternal antibodies might affect the wiring of the fetal brain, and that might explain why each subsequent son is more likely to grow up gay.”
However, the team’s study only looked at a very small number of people, so strong conclusions cannot be drawn yet.
“The significance of this preliminary observation, if it can be replicated, is that it identifies specific molecules in the brain that may be important for heterosexual as well as homosexual development,” says Dean Hamer, a pioneer of researching the biological determinants of sexual orientation. The finding “could pave the way to a detailed neurobiological and genetic understanding of this fascinating aspect of human development”, he says.

China has been building what it calls "the world's biggest camera surveillance network". Across the country, 170 million CCTV cameras are already in place and an estimated 400 million new ones will be installed in the next three years.
Many of the cameras are fitted with artificial intelligence, including facial recognition technology. The BBC's John Sudworth has been given rare access to one of the new hi-tech police control rooms.
