書簡は、国連高等弁務官事務所を通じて在ジュネーブ国際機関日本政府代表部に届いた。「今後、この数値を使用するつもりはない」とし、国連人権理事会に提出する報告書にも引用しないという。菅氏は「事実上、発言を撤回したものと受け止めている」と述べた。
共同通信や朝日新聞、毎日新聞の世論調査では6割以上が“安保法案に反対”と答えていたにもかかわらず、本会議可決後の世論調査で「必要」が7割？ これはどういうことなのかと思い、産経新聞やFNNのニュースサイトを見てみると、たしかに、こんな見出しが躍っていた。
〈安保法制整備は7割が「必要」〉（産経ニュース）
〈安保関連法の整備「必要」と考える人はほぼ7割に FNN世論調査〉（FNN）
どうやら聞き間違えではなかったらしい。だが、世論調査の結果をよく読んでみると、妙なことに気がつく。
たとえば同調査での、〈安全保障関連法案が、与党と野党3党の賛成多数で、国会で成立しました。法案が成立したことを、あなたは評価しますか、評価しませんか〉という別の質問に対しては、「評価する」38.3%、「評価しない」が56.7%と、“法案成立”に関して「評価しない」が大きく上回っている。
The letter says that “in the interest of modesty and to ensure your child is properly safeguarded on their way to and from school, we ask that black tights be worn with skirts at all times”.
Carol McEnaney told the paper that her 14-year-old daughter Hannah was handed a pair of tights when she showed up at the school wearing a skirt with socks.
“The school said, though, that if she didn’t wear tights, she would be put in isolation or sent home,” McEnaney explained. “I want to get my point across that girls should have the right to choose.”

The subject of the report, just in time for Veterans Day, is the impact of the death penalty on veterans. The author, Richard C. Dieter, the longtime executive director of the invaluable D.P.I.C., estimates that “at least 10% of the current death row—that is, over 300 inmates—are military veterans.
Veterans who kill are not, by and large, hit men or members of organized crime or gangs. They very often lash out at those around them. Dieter notes that a third of the homicide victims killed by veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan were family members or girlfriends. Another quarter were fellow service members. This record suggests that, if these veterans had received adequate mental-health care, at least some of them and their victims might have had a different fate.
In an interview with Vox, Deaton said that the death rate for members of this cohort had increased, in part, because they had “lost the narrative of their lives.” This elegant, almost poetic phrase can be read to include the lost promise of military service—the vanished understanding that veterans earned more than a paycheck, that they also gained a step up in status, both economic and social. The reality has been that many veterans returned to lives that were materially and spiritually worse than the ones they left, and far worse than the ones they expected.
According to the Princeton study, a shocking number of poorly educated whites turned their rage inward, in the form of drug abuse and suicide. But a small handful inflicted their rage on others, and an even smaller number wound up on death row. They are different groups of people, and their individual stories are even more variegated, but it’s possible to see across them the symptoms of a broader anguish.

Come on. English man should know better
For nearly two decades, Big Pharma commercials have falsely told Americans that mental illness is associated with a chemical brain imbalance, but the truth is that mental illness and suicidality are associated with poverty, unemployment, and mass incarceration. And the truth is that American society has now become so especially oppressive for young people that an embarrassingly large number of American teenagers and young adults are suicidal and depressed.
Conclusions
The SAMHSA press release states that among American adults in 2013: 10 million American adults (4.2 percent) experienced a serious mental illness, 15.7 million adults (6.7 percent) experienced a major depressive episode, and states that “major depressive episodes affected approximately one in ten (2.6 million) youth between the ages of 12 to 17.” The press release then laments how many Americans with mental illnesses are not receiving treatment.
While these statistics in the SAMHSA press release are troubling, the devil is in the details of the actual lengthy SAMHSA survey results. These results make clear that suicidality, depression, and mental illness are highly correlated with involvement in the criminal justice system, unemployment, and poverty, and occur in greater frequency among young people, women, and Native Americans.
Disabled people are sleeping fully-clothed in their wheelchairs and surviving on biscuits due to cuts to social care, according to a new report.
"Disabled people have told us they are waiting 14 hours to go to the toilet, sleeping in their clothes, unable to eat or wash and left socially isolated."
He said the social care funding gap is growing by at least £700m a year.

ロシアがオホーツク海に潜ませている戦略原潜は、ロシアにとっては、核大国である米国や中国と軍事的に対峙し、国家の存続をはかるための切り札である。もし、米国から全面的な先制核攻撃を受けても、オホーツク海の戦略原潜さえ生き残れば、米本土の大都市に報復の核の雨を降らせることができる。
このような核攻撃能力（第２撃能力）を持っている限り、ロシアは米国からの先制核攻撃を抑止することが期待できる。最悪の場合でも、無条件降伏せず、停戦交渉に臨むことができる。自国への核攻撃を防ぐとともに、ロシアは、自国を米国ともにらみあうことのできる「大国」とみなし続けられるのだ。
将来技術が進み、レーザー兵器によって、発射され飛翔するＳＬＢＭなど核兵器の投射手段を容易に破壊できるようになれば、世界情勢自体が激変する。そのとき、ロシアにとって、オホーツク海ひいては北方領土の軍事的価値は大きく減ずることになる。これは夢想とまでは言えない。米軍の艦船などには一部、初歩的なものながらレーザー兵器の搭載が始まっている。北方領土の全面返還や、核の脅威の排除に向けて、日本も一肌脱いだらどうだろう。
Josh Sanders told host Caroline Modarressy-Tehrani about taking classes at Exodus International, a large purveyor of ex-gay therapy that was shut down in 2013. There, Sanders underwent reparative therapy, which the report from SAMHSA called dangerous and baseless.
"There are a lot of different extremes when it comes to this form of therapy as well. I've had friends that have experienced electrocution," Sanders said, who himself experienced a "gay exorcism."
