KIGALI (Reuters) - Rwanda on Saturday freed Victoire Ingabire, an opposition leader who has served six years of a 15 year jail term, after President Paul Kagame exercised his power to grant a pardon.
Ingabire, who leads the unregistered FDU-Inkingi opposition party, was freed along with other prisoners, including singer Kizito Mihigo, jailed in 2015 for plotting to kill Kagame.
She emerged from prison in a red dress, green jacket and a broad smile. Flanked by her lawyer Gatera Gashabana, she told waiting reporters that her release, together with the election of two opposition parliamentarians earlier this month, were positive signs.
"There is hope for the opening of the political space," Ingabire said, thanking the president for granting her mercy.
Government officials downplayed the political significance of her release.
"There is nothing political about her release, there is nothing political about her imprisonment," Justice Minister Johnston Businge told Reuters by telephone.
"The president has granted mercy, and under the constitution, he is allowed to do that," he said.
Eight officials of the FDU-Inkingi, including Ingabire's deputy, still remain in detention, Gashabana said.
Another opposition figure, Diane Rwigara, who tried to run against Kagame in a 2017 presidential election, is also in detention.
Rwigara was arrested with her mother last year, accused of inciting an insurrection and using forged documents. The pair are due to appear in court on Sept. 24.
Kagame, who won a third term last year, is lauded for Rwanda's economic recovery after the 1994 genocide but critics say he has muzzled free media and dissenting voices.
His office was not immediately available for comment but the government has in the past rejected those accusations.
Ingabire was handed a 15-year sentence in 2012 for conspiring to form an armed group to undermine the government and for seeking to minimize the 1994 genocide.
She had returned from exile in the Netherlands to contest a presidential election in January 2010, but was barred from standing after being accused of genocide denial.
Her lawyer welcomed the decision to free her but said it came with certain conditions.
"This is a conditional release," Gashabana said. He said that Ingabire must report her place of residence to the prosecutor and seek authorisation before leaving the country.
Ingabire, who turns 50 next month, is a mother of three children who live with her husband in the Netherlands.

Last night the Santos Board hosted the company's 13th EHS Directors Awards, an annual event that celebrates the very best in safety and environmental performance at Santos.
The awards recognise safety and environmental excellence across six categories, with team awards for Innovation, Efficiency, Environment and Safety, and individual awards for the Environment Leader of the Year and Safety Leader of the year. Each winner received a $1000 donation to the charity of their choice.
Commenting on the quality of the award nominations, Santos Managing Director and CEO, Kevin Gallagher said "This year we received a record 76 quality nominations, the highest number in the 13 year history of the awards. It was very difficult for the Board to narrow this down the 12 finalists, and ultimately select and the six winners".
The evening belonged to Glenn Watt, Manager of Drilling and Completions who took out both the Safety and Environmental Leader awards, while the Drilling and Completions Team which Glenn leads also took out the Environment Team of the Year award.
Mr Gallagher commented "Glenn's strong safety commitment and leadership was instrumental to Drilling and Completions team achieving its best safety record since 2014. This was accomplished while delivering reduced operating costs and efficiencies across diverse, work environments for the Narrabri and the GLNG drilling and completions campaigns.
The Santos GLNG Upstream Operations took out the Innovation award, being recognised for the use of drone technology to carry out plant visual inspection, which eliminated the risk of having personnel working at heights of up to 60 metres to carry out such inspections.
The Efficiency category prize was awarded to the Port Bonython team for their Energy Optimisation projects which resulted in a reduction of around 7 to 10 percent in fuel requirements, equating to a reduction in carbon emissions of 30,260 tonnes per annum, equivalent to removing 6,400 cars off the road.
The Cooper Development Program Execution Team was awarded the Safety Team of the year for their safety turnaround which was underpinned by a range of effective safety initiatives which saw safety incidents more than halve from peak.


On Friday 15 March, Christchurch witnessed a horrific terrorist attack.
50 people, including mothers, fathers, grandparents, sons & daughters were cruelly taken from us in an act of pure evil.
One of our own from our football community – NZ Futsal Goalkeeper Atta Elayyan – was taken from us in this attack.
He was a son, a husband and a father.
In a tribute to Atta's memory and the 49 other victims, Wellington Phoenix partnered with Huawei NZ & Westpac Stadium to raise money for the survivors of this tragedy.
Collections were held throughout the Hyundai A-League Round 22 fixture on Sunday 17 March at Westpac Stadium, which raised a total of $10,770.60.
Westpac Stadium donated $2000 to kick start the donations, while Wellington Phoenix and their Principal partner, Huawei, both pledged to match the cash donations dollar for dollar.
In total, $34,311.80 was raised for Victim Support New Zealand, who are on the ground in Christchurch assisting those most in need.
If you were unable to make the game, you can still donate online on the Give A Little page here.
We want to thank all of those who donated money and to our partners Huawei and Westpac Stadium who generously contributed.
We are all thinking of those who have been lost and those who are left that mourn their passing.
We stand together as a country.

What is old is new again: My 'new normal' still includes dogs 🐶
Guess who returned to the doggy loft for the first time in sixteen months? She has opposable thumbs and is the biggest dog lover you will find.
From March 11, 2020, until July 14, 2021, I could not volunteer at the Muttville Senior Dog Rescue on Rescue Row here in San Francisco. Thanks to a pandemic, my city and state shut down for weeks and shuttered schools and businesses for months. I missed 64 Wednesday mornings waking up sleepy old dogs. Sixteen months of being denied a steady diet of soft doggy snuggles. How many laundry loads of dirty dog beds, aprons, and towels did I skip? I can't believe I missed mopping up after these sugar faces so much.
Who else can say they honestly like the familiar smell of old dogs?
When entering the open loft first thing in the morning, with its closed windows to keep the more than a dozen old dogs safe overnight, imagine the wall of smell that hits you first. A combination of warm soiled bedding mixed with various late-night pee offers your nose a scent only faithful dog people appreciate. I didn't realize until after being denied my morning shift for months that I missed that familiar stink. That I took comfort in the potent smell because it meant there were warm sleepy dogs behind those doors.

Helen Woodward Animal Center Orphan Pets Celebrate with Special PAWmicon Weekend July 23-25
Helen Woodward Animal Center is getting ready to celebrate the Center's panel participation in Comic-Con International's Comic-Con@Home with a full weekend of heroic adoptions and PAWmicon fun at the Center July 23 – 25!
Rancho Santa Fe, CA (July 6, 2021) – For the last eight years, Helen Woodward Animal Center orphan pets have celebrated the spectacular feats of superhero adopters by paying homage to Comic-Con International with a Pop Culture-themed Dog Cosplay event entitled PAWmicon. Now, for the first time ever, Comic-Con International is including the rescue facility in its virtual July programming with a Center-hosted panel entitled Animals in Graphic Novels and Games. The virtual panel discussion, set to premiere on July 25 at 11 a.m., features Chris Ryall and Keith Arem and is hosted by Robert Rice from Omniscape. To celebrate the premiere, Helen Woodward Animal Center is throwing a PAWmicon-themed Weekend including pop-culture-named orphan pets, giveaways, photo opportunities and the highly anticipated PAWSplay Costume Competition.
Helen Woodward Animal Center initiated PAWmicon in 2012 based on an observed parallel between orphan pets and Comic-Con attendees. While comic book enthusiasts wait all year for Comic-Con International, hoping to catch a glimpse of their favorite action-adventure stars, orphan dogs and cats at Helen Woodward Animal Center will wait a lifetime to meet their superheroes – individuals with one sole mission…to rescue an orphan pet. Planned as a cute adoption gimmick, the promotion drew the attention of fans and animal-lovers across the city, eventually blossoming into an annual event that has grown in pup-ularity and gained global attention with each passing year.
2019's event surpassed all expectations set in its new location at the Comic-Con Museum. Although still in prep for its official opening, the Comic-Con Museum hosted the event in collaboration with Helen Woodward Animal Center with hundreds of attendees and 100% of its proceeds going to the Center's pets and programs.
In 2020, PAWmicon planning was well underway when the pandemic hit. Too beloved an event to cancel, the experience went on-line, in partnership with the Comic-Con Museum, featuring a virtual schedule of on-line family-friendly events including panel discussions and interviews; access to an on-line PAWmicon vendor village; on-line book readings for kids with Center critters; access to augmented and web virtual reality experiences; on-line trivia rounds; an on-line PAWSplay Photo Contest and more.
PAWmicon 2021
This year, Comic-Con International is staying COVID-safe, once again, delaying any on-site components until later in the year. However, a July, on-line virtual experience, entitled Comic-Con @ Home, will be available for fanatics of the annual festivities, including a line-up of discussion panels featuring celebrity guests. Helen Woodward Animal Center was delighted to be accepted into the line-up with a panel focused on Animals in Graphic Novels and Games which includes Chris Ryall, Partner of Syzygy Publishing and former President & Publisher/ Chief Creative Officer at IDW Publishing. Also featured is writer/director/producer Keith Arem, CEO and president of Los Angeles-based PCB Productions. The panel is a fascinating look at the unique and special qualities that animals bring to the world of superheroes. It premieres on Sunday, July 25 at 11 a.m.
To celebrate the release of this special virtual discussion panel, Helen Woodward Animal Center is dedicating the weekend of July 23 – July 25 to PAWmicon. Pop-culture-named orphan pets, Comic-themed giveaways and adorable photo backdrops for life-saving adopters will be available all weekend long.
On Saturday, July 24 at 9:30am, the fun really ramps up as the PAWSplay Costume Competition returns in-person, to the Center's education pavilion. Those who wish to participate can sign up here: https://my.animalcenter.org/event/pawmicon-2021/e346864. The entry fee is $10 per pup and all proceeds support the pets and programs at Helen Woodward Animal Center. Cosplayers will serve as judges and be available for photo opportunities after the contest. A Comic-themed Kid's Craft will be available for younger attendees and a Coffee Cart and Shaved Ice will also be on site for sweets and treats.
Limited-edition PAWmicon t-shirts will also be available online soon: https://www.bonfire.com/store/helen-woodward-animal-center/. Proceeds support Helen Woodward Animal Center pets and programs.
At its core, this unique event has one life-saving mission: To inspire individuals to perform a superhero action of their own and adopt an orphan pet. Upon adoption, these furry sidekicks will quickly reveal their own superhero abilities to save us right back.

Until Aug 1st Pet Food Express' FILL THE FOOD BANK CAMPAIGN seeks to help raise 100k lbs of dog food
PET FOOD EXPRESS' FILL THE FOOD BANK CAMPAIGN TO HELP STRUGGLING CALIFORNIANS FEED THEIR DOGS
Campaign will collect monetary donations to gift 100k pounds of nutritious, FirstMate dog food to pet food banks, relieving financial burden of necessary care for 100s of families
OAKLAND, CA (July 6, 2021) -- Pet Food Express kicks off its annual Fill the Food Bank campaign to help hundreds of struggling California families to continue to care for their beloved dog(s) with free, nutritious food and avoid surrendering their pet to a shelter.
From July 5 - August 1, Pet Food Express will collect monetary donations in its 64 California stores and online at www.petfood.express/fillthefoodbank to directly benefit local, pet-centric food banks, shelters, and rescues.
100% of the funds donated will be used to purchase and distribute 5-pound bags of nutrient-rich, FirstMate dog food. Pet Food Express has set a 100,000 pound goal for 2021 and will match the first 10,000 pounds of donated dog food.
"The food donated through our Fill the Food Bank campaign will help many California families burdened by COVID with financial hardships," said Megan Kniepkamp, Community Outreach Manager at Pet Food Express. "As pet parents ourselves and passionate pet advocates, we understand the bond between a pet and its family. And during these trying times, it's important that pet families remain intact for the well-being of all."
Visit the Fill the Food Bank page at www.petfood.express/fillthefoodbank to donate; to locate the closest participating food bank, shelter, or rescue; and to share the campaign with friends and family.
A $10 donation gifts a 5-pound bag of FirstMate dog food to a pet family in need. All 20 program partners are low-threshold or open-admission organizations who are interested solely in the welfare of California's pet population.
"Food banks are essential," Kniepkamp continued. "They reduce the risk of a returned pet to an already over-taxed rescue and shelter system by offsetting the cost of necessary pet care. We want struggling pet owners to know that there is free help available to keep their pets fed, cared for, and with them at their home."
The 2020 Fill the Food Bank campaign turned $210,000 in financial donations from customers into more than 90,000 pounds of high-quality pet food to benefit 17 partner organizations including food banks, rescues, and shelters throughout the state.
Pet Food Express is proud to support California's animal rescue network through its Community Outreach programs such as its Kitten Season efforts. Learn more at https://www.petfood.express/community-outreach/, like them on Facebook, and follow them on Instagram and on Twitter for the latest updates on the Fill the Food Bank campaign.

The political winds blowing in the Mumbai North West constituency might heat up soon as former Mumbai Congress chief Sanjay Nirupam contesting from the constituency has challenged his former colleague and Shiv Sena-BJP candidate Gajanan Kirtikar for an open debate over the developmental issues in the constituency represented by Kirtikar. The MP had defeated senior Congress leader Gurudas Kamat from Mumbai North West in 2014, riding over the Modi wave. Nirupam has now introduced a twist in campaigning through this challenge.
In an open letter Nirupam has said, "Dear Shri Kirtikar ji, you have represented Mumbai North West for the past five years and are seeking a second term. I am contesting the Lok Sabha Elections 2019 from the same constituency. With the objective of providing the electorate a fair opportunity to assess their candidates, I challenge you to a debate on your performance in the past five years with regard to issues and problems of the constituency as well as projects, plans and programmes for the next five years at a date, time and venue of your convenience and choice." The letter also warned against use of any proxy by either candidate.
The open challenge has become a topic of discussion among voters in the constituency. "I look forward to your prompt reply in the best interests of transparency and accountability towards the electorate of our constituency," concluded the letter. Kirtikar told mid-day that he could not debate with a person "who had raised doubts" on our defence forces. "He does not have any credibility. My work is right is in front of the voters to whom I am answerable, not to Nirupam. Lok Sabha website has details of my performance. I have spend crores from my MP funds in my constituency," he said.

Dallas Drug Dealer Accused of Murdering 19-Year-Old Sentenced to Life in Prison
by Hunt County Theft Reports March 6, 2020
A Dallas area drug dealer convicted of killing a Dallas teenager was sentenced to life in federal prison Tuesday evening following an investigation by the FBI's Dallas Violent Gangs Safe Streets Task Force, announced U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Texas Erin Nealy Cox.
In November, following a four-day trial, a federal jury found Freddie Gilbert, 36, guilty of being a felon in possession of a firearm, possession with intent to distribute a controlled substance, discharging a firearm during a drug trafficking crime, and murder resulting from the use of a firearm in during a drug trafficking crime.
"Far too often, drug trafficking spurs horrific acts of violence," said U.S. Attorney Nealy Cox. "In this case, a known cocaine dealer legally barred from possessing a weapon gunned down an innocent 19-year-old, then shoved her in the trunk like a piece of trash. He will spend the rest of his life behind bars."
"Today's sentence should send a message to other violent drug dealers," said FBI Dallas Special Agent in Charge Matthew J. DeSarno. "The FBI will work with our law enforcement partners to protect the community through aggressive investigation and prosecution of violent offenders and drug traffickers.
According to evidence presented at trial, Mr. Gilbert, an avowed cocaine dealer, shot and killed 19-year-old Jacquisha Isaac on Oct. 29, 2017.
Forensic evidence showed that Mr. Gilbert shot Ms. Isaac through the head while she was sitting in the passenger seat of his car. He likely fired the fatal shot through the window, while standing outside the vehicle, then stashed her body in the trunk and took off, prosecutors said. Hours later, Mr. Gilbert was apprehended driving more than 110 mph down I-20.
Investigators identified Ms. Isaac's blood inside the car, as well as on the clothing Mr. Gilbert was wearing when he was apprehended and on the revolver he used to kill the young girl. They also discovered a bullet he had purchased the day before covered in Ms. Isaac's blood on the floorboard, gun residue on Mr. Gilbert's hands, and his palm print on the trunk of the car where he'd stashed her body.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation's Dallas Field Office, the Texas Department of Public Safety, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms & Explosives, Drug Enforcement Administration, and Kaufman County Sheriff's Office investigated the case. Assistant U.S. Attorneys P.J. Meitl and Tiffany Eggers prosecuted the case. U.S. District Judge Jane Boyle handed down the sentence.

The Denver Broncos' offense is close to making the Tim Tebow-era teams look prolific.
The Broncos 18.8 points per game are their fewest since 1992 when John Elway missed four games with a shoulder injury. Denver's 4.91 yards per play is the team's fewest since 2001 when Terrell Davis played just eight games in his final season. And the 214.9 passing yards per game is the worst since the 2011 Tebow-led team.
At least that 2011 team won games by running the ball, leading the league with 164.5 per tilt. The 2017 version of the Broncos offense has struggled to even do that for long stretches during their four-game losing streak. In three of the past four losses, Denver failed to gain 70 yards rushing. In Sunday's blowout loss to the stingy Eagles, they put up a season-low 35 rushing yards.
In order to hide a shaky quarterback situation, running back C.J. Anderson knows the team must be better on the ground.
"We know when we run the ball we get a better chance [to win]," Anderson said, via the Denver Post. "We're not one-dimensional. That's what we want to do. We want to run the football. We want to be efficient while we're running it. Whether the O-line is playing really great that day, the running backs are playing really great that day or we're both playing [poorly] that day, it's up to us in our room to make more plays."
The Broncos are averaging 39.75 pass attempts per game during their losing streak. While it's natural to abandon the run during losses, coach Vance Joseph said his team needs to be better balanced early in games.
"That's not what we're good at," Joseph said regarding the pass totals. "We're good at running the football, controlling the clock and having manageable third downs."
Right now, Joseph's team is good at neither.
Behind a porous offensive line, Anderson and the rest of the running game have been repeatedly stuffed, setting up poor passing situations. When Denver can pick up chunk yardage, the entire operation runs more smoothly.
With Brock Osweiler trotting back under center to face the New England Patriots on Sunday night, Denver needs to ride the running game to keep its mediocre quarterback from throwing the game away.

The blog — this generation's form of the diary since the new millennium went full swing — has turned into a legitimate source of income. In fact, this doesn't just come down to a forgettable amount of cash. Up to six digits can be earned from a single article on a blog, which has even gained more value as a forum, now that social media increases the leverage of bloggers.
"Blog" is a truncation of the words "web" and "log," and is defined by Merriam-Webster as "a web site on which someone writes about personal opinions, activities and experiences." Blogs have since evolved as well into a sphere of commerce, wherein bloggers are the new breed of entrepreneurs.
She started her blog when she was still an undergraduate student of theater, writing reviews of makeup products she would sometimes borrow from her mother. Today, she continues to post about makeup — name it, she knows it — and her following (now in the thousands) continues to grow. Her blog is visited up to 7,000 times a day.
For an "advertorial," the rate can go up to Php100,000 per article. To compute that price, Ms. Sta. Barbara said, bloggers go by the Php50 or Php75/1000 impressions rate.
Some companies approach bloggers to become their brand ambassadors, and Ms. Sta Barbara shared that the running rate in the industry begins at Php10,000 a month. The rate is entirely dependent on project terms, scope of work, and length of project.
Social media promotions, like posts on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, are priced as high as Php30,000 per post. The rate depends on the blogger's following.
Ads rates for a blog begins at Php3,000 to Php100,000 a month.
Gaining a following has also allowed some bloggers to step into other realms — such as public relations. Ms. Sta Barbara, who now has her own digital marketing and PR agency, Digify Corp., said that some bloggers take on PR consultancy as a "day job" or another income source. After all, their facility with the digital landscape and in gathering followers is something that companies would like to soak up. PR consultants who are also bloggers typically help link SMEs (mostly in the food, fashion, and beauty industries) to digital media. They write press releases, conceptualize PR campaigns, and organize events. Bloggers, after all, are in the circle and can link the company to more bloggers.
"I prefer cash payments for my projects," Ms. Sta Barbara said, but added she is also amenable to ex-deals with a 70% cash and 30% product split. Press junkets are also welcome.
"I also know my worth," she added, "how I work, the quality of work I produce, my authority in the blogosphere — and my clientele include some of the best brands in the world so I can justify what I'm charging and my cost." Yet, she has a soft heart for start-ups, having once been a newbie blogger herself, "but again, this depends on the brand." It still has to be something that is part of her interest, she said.
Ms. Sta Barbara gives us the specific numbers. She has 260,000 monthly views on her site, along with 6,132 Facebook followers, 6,944 Instagram followers, 4,310 Twitter followers, and 534 subscribers. That means her clients can expose their brands to that many people online.

Authority blogs, on the other hand, are those that blog for lead generation so they can market their products and services to a ready market. These blogs monetize through product sales, usually of digital products, courses, webinars, making them different from the lifestyle niche.
Traffic, she said, is largely hinged on, one, those who have been blogging for a long time and already have a following; two, celebrities who leverage their fame towards blogging; and three, newcomers who bring something fresh to the scene.
Indeed, a fresh approach is a key factor to being a successful blogger — in terms of the influence the blogger can extend to readers, so that from being a niche, the readership can grow. "I believe blogging can work for people who want to bring their message to the world, so that they can build a meaningful community," she said.
In the process, companies discover that they, too, can ride on the digital wave, talk about what they do in a more intimate language, as opposed to the traditional press release.
The effectivity of such a language, in the first-person voice, makes readers feel that the writer is more sincere in telling a product's story. "The PR kind," she said, is easily figured out by readers.

A newly released British diplomatic cable claims that at least 10,000 people were killed by the Chinese army during the Tiananmen Square crackdown. The estimate is 10 times higher than commonly accepted figures.
The secret diplomatic cable seen by the AFP news agency at Britain's National Archives gives gruesome details of the 1989 Chinese army clampdown on pro-democracy protesters.
"Minimum estimate of civilian dead 10,000," the British ambassador at the time, Alan Donald, said in a telegram to London on June 5, 1989, a day after the violent suppression.
The document was made public more than 28 years after the Tiananmen Square massacre.
The secret cable puts the Tiananmen Square civilian death toll almost 10 times higher than the one of several hundred to more than a thousand deaths that is commonly accepted.
Jean-Pierre Cabestan, a French China expert, told AFP the British figure seemed credible as it was also supported by recently declassified US documents.
"That's two pretty independent sources which say the same things," said Cabestan, who is a professor at Hong Kong Baptist University.
Alan Donald's report was "not particularly astonishing considering how crowded it was in Beijing [and] the number of people mobilized" against the Chinese government," he said.
As the sun rises at Tiananmen Square, protesters build a 33 feet tall Goddess of Democracy statue out of foam and paper-mache over a metal armature. In the early morning of June 4, soldiers backed by tanks and armored cars toppled the statue which had stood directly facing the Mao portrait at the Forbidden City.
In the often tense days leading up to the Chinese government crackdown, local citizens often gave gifts to soldiers and police officials. Sometimes troops would sing patriotic songs with demonstrators. In this picture, a police woman sings out loud in Tiananmen Square a few days before troops retook control of the area and crushed the democratic movement.
A woman is caught in the middle of a scuffle between pro-democracy protesters and People's Liberation Army soldiers near the Great Hall of The People on June 3, 1989, the day before one of the bloodiest military crackdowns of the 20th century. Later that night, the 38th army would open fire on unarmed civilians overtaking the occupied Tiananmen Square.
Thousands of protesters surround a bus with a display of captured weapons just days prior to the crackdown. During the government's enforcement of martial law, soldiers and the public performed a delicate dance of give and take. Sometimes protesters offered gifts to soldiers and sometimes troops withdrew.
On the late evening of June 3, a group of protesters cornered an armored personnel carrier (APC) at the gates of the Great Hall of The People. It had just crashed through barricades of street dividers which the crowds had put up to stop the advance of military vehicles. At the same time, soldiers were preparing to open fire on the demonstrators a short distance away.
On the late evening of June 3, protestors set fire to an armored personnel carrier on the Chang'an Avenue near Tiananmen Square. The picture was the last image before photographer Jeff Widener was struck in the face by a stray protestor brick. Though he sustained a serious concussion, The Nikon F3 titanium camera absorbed the blow sparing his life.
On June 4, a truck manned by People's Liberation Army troops patrol down the Chang'an Avenue in front of the Beijing Hotel the day after the bloody crackdown on student-led pro-democracy supporters. A similar truck full of soldiers had shot tourists standing in the lobby of the Beijing Hotel that day.
A lone man with shopping bags walks to the center of Beijing's Chang'an Avenue and temporarily stops the advance of Chinese tanks a day after the crackdown. Over two decades later, the fate of the man is still a mystery. The incident has come to symbolize the events at Tiananmen Square and is considered one of the most iconic images ever taken.
On June 5, a group of people at the Chang'an Avenue show a picture of dead protesters at a local morgue after being shot by Chinese soldiers of the 38th Army during the recapture of Tiananmen Square. The troops used expanding bullets which created larger wounds. At least 300 civilians were killed, according to Amnesty International.

Associated Press photographers Jeff Widener (left) and Liu Heung Shing pose in front of Beijing's Forbidden City in late May 1989 just days before the Chinese government's military crackdown at Tiananmen Square.
In June 1989, several thousand Chinese college students and disgruntled citizens from all walks of life gathered in Beijing's Tiananmen Square to publicly mourn the death of purged high-level official Hu Yaobang, as well as demand government accountability, freedom of the press and a stop to the rampant corruption plaguing the country. As demonstrations escalated, the Chinese government deployed the military to crack down on the protesters, opening fire on unarmed civilians and killing unknown numbers.
Nearly three decades since Beijing ordered tanks and troops into the Tiananmen Square to crush the student-led pro-democracy uprising, any public commemoration of the event remains banned across the Chinese mainland, where the government has never released an official death toll from the brutal crackdown.
During the military operation on the night of June 3-4, 1989, armored personnel carriers (APC) "opened fire on the crowd (both civilians and soldiers) before running over them," wrote Donald in his telegram, saying he was citing a "reliable" source.
Once the Chinese soldiers arrived in Tiananmen Square, "students understood they were given one hour to leave square but after five minutes APCs attacked," Donald wrote.
The Chinese government justifies the bloodshed by labeling it a suppression of the "counter-revolutionary riots." Beijing claims some 200 civilians and several dozen police and military personnel were killed during the crackdown.

Q: 1366 Incorrect integer value error while storing data into the database in laravel In my laravel application I have two user roles, admins and general users.
An admin can add data in a general user profiles as well.
In my db table, I have two columns to save user id and the added_by user's id.
If a general user add record to their own profile, both this column should include general user's user id.
But if an admin user did this, then added_by has to be filled with admin's user id.
I'm fetching the general user's user id from the URL.
My function looks like this at the moment (Here, I've included only the related part for this question)
$employee_Id=$request->get('emp_id');
if(is_numeric($employee_Id)){
            $employee_Id=$request->get('emp_id');
            $user = User::where('id',$employee_Id);
            $addedBy_User = User::find(auth()->user()->id);
//If the employer tried to add their stats
}else{
            $user=User::find(auth()->user()->id);
            $employee_Id=$user->id;
            $addedBy_User =User::find(auth()->user()->id);
}
$statsUser = StatsUser::create([
            'stat_id'               => $stat->id,
            'user_id'               => $employee_Id,
            'added_by'              => $addedBy_User,

        ]);

But this gives me an error saying, 1366 Incorrect integer value what I'm doing wrong and where should I fix?
The complete error message as follows,
1366 Incorrect integer value: '{\"id\":869,\"language\":\"en\",\"first_name\":\"Test\",\"last_name\":\"Name2\",\"email\":\"testmail@gmail.com\",\"email_verified_at\":\"2022-03-...' for column `cricketstats`.`stats_user`.`added_by` at row 1

A: It makes sense since in your if statement you are checking if $employee_Id is numeric. then look what you have in the  else statement:
//...
} else {
    $user=User::find(auth()->user()->id);
    $employee_Id=$user->id;
    $addedBy_User = $employee_Id; // <--
}

So, when $employee_Id is not numeric then $addedBy_User is also not numeric -> not an integer. Hence, the exception is thrown.

A: $addedBy_User is an object which will get from the database. so you can not assign objects to the table field. so instead of $addedBy_User use $addedBy_User->id.
    $addedBy_User = User::find(auth()->user()->id);
    $statsUser = StatsUser::create([
        'stat_id'               => $stat->id,
        'user_id'               => $employee_Id,
        'added_by'              => $addedBy_User->id,

    ]);

A:
$addedBy_User = User::find(auth()->user()->id);

StatsUser::create([
'stat_id'               => $stat->id,
'user_id'               => $employee_Id,
'added_by'              => $addedBy_User,
]);

$addedBy_User is an object , Solution -> $addedBy_User->id
