The U.N. special envoy to Syria warned on Thursday that 3 million civilians could be at risk if the Assad regime launches a large-scale invasion against rebels in Idlib province. Violence can happen at a moment’s notice in Syria, but two Americans have designed a way to warn civilians before an airstrike. John Jaeger and Dave Levin grew up in Chicago and Dallas, where they worked jobs in finance and consulting. But now they’ve become unlikely heroes in Syria’s seven-year-long civil war, where they have saved lives. “These are preventable deaths, and that’s why we do what we do,” Jaeger said. Back in 2012, Jaeger had taken a job with the State Department, deployed to Turkey to help Syrians displaced by the civil war. But as he watched the carnage from the sidelines, he grew frustrated. “The idea was essentially to tell people before an airstrike could reach them, so that they could take mitigating action and save their lives,” Jaeger said. The idea was that simple. As the Syrian regime bombed civilians, Jaeger and Levin wanted to warn people that warplanes were on the way, so they could take cover in shelters and basements. There were already dozens of Syrians who were spotting war planes, 루비바둑이 and putting out alerts over walkie talkies. So Jaeger and Levin recruited them, asking them to send reports by phone.

(AP) BAGHDAD – Bombs struck two Sunni towns at sundown Sunday just as Iraqis were preparing to break their holy day’s fast, killing 18 and wounding more than 50, officials said. Two earlier bomb blasts killed a policeman and wounded dozens of people. The multiple bomb attacks showed that deadly violence is still common and 바둑이 in some places even worsening in Iraq, seven months after the U.S. pulled its last troops out of the country. Most of the attacks bear the hallmarks of Sunni Muslim insurgents linked to al Qaeda, targeting Shiites and their holy sites as well as security forces working for the Shiite-led government. The two latest bombings, however, struck predominantly Sunni towns. So far, Shiite militants have resisted striking back at Sunnis. It was not immediately clear if the Sunday bombings were retaliation for earlier attacks, but residents in the stricken areas raised fears of renewed sectarian conflict. The first sundown attack, in the town of Mahmoudiya, was the deadliest — a double bombing in which the second seemed aimed at hitting people who came to help victims of the first blast. A car exploded around 7 p.m. in a parking lot for minibuses in the town, about 20 miles (30 kilometers) south of Baghdad. As emergency responders sprang into action, a second car blew up, according to police at the scene. Twelve people were...

India’s love for gold is almost a religion. Beyond being a symbol of wealth and 바둑이게임 status, gold is part of worship and culture — a tradition that goes back thousands of years.
