Tennessee Nuisance Romance

[From article]
Deputies were called twice to the home in Rogersville. After the second time Johnny Allen Richards, 33, and Erin Brooke Lawson, 32, allegedly knocked on the neighbors door, hit the victim with a rake with enough force to break the handle, then stabbed the victim in the arm with the broken end of the handle.
That’s when Hawkins County deputies were called to the house for a third time.
“I did observe several lacerations on (the neighbor) consistent with how he stated he was injured,” the arresting officer wrote in the police report. “There was blood on the end of the rake handle that was recovered at the scene. (The neighbor) stated the Mr. Richards hit him with a 2-by-2 stick, and it was recovered at the scene.”

Brooklyn, NY Has Loudest Sex Among New York City Residents

[From article]
The couple — and plenty of other horny Brooklynites — have helped make the borough the loudest for lovemaking in the city, according to a report by DNAinfo.
It found that 133 total complaints were filed over loud sex between Jan. 1, 2014, and Feb. 12, 2015, with 42 of them being in Kings County. Queens was the second-raunchiest borough, with 37 complaints. The Bronx had 31, and Manhattan recorded 23.
Staten Island, on the other hand, had zero complaints.
Sleepless residents in other parts of Brooklyn complained about bedposts banging against the wall — and one woman’s “sex machine,” DNAinfo said.
“My neighbor is making too much noise. She has a sex machine and then she starts screaming, ‘Yes, yes, yes’ for extended periods of time,” one complainant said on June 10 at 8:10 a.m.
“They are perverts who constantly bring more individuals to perform more extreme sexual activities.”

City Noise Damages Human Hearing

Surround sound: A 'deaf generation' exposed to constant noise may be losing the ability to hear as nature intended, a sound expert has claimed. As a result they could be missing out on effects from natural sounds that contribute to good health and well-being, research suggests.

A 'deaf generation' exposed to constant noise may be losing the ability to hear as nature intended, a sound expert has claimed.
As a result people could be missing out on the positive effects from natural sounds that contribute to good health and well-being, research suggests.
Dr Kurt Fristrup, who has monitored sound levels in 90 US national parks including Yosemite, Grand Teton and the Grand Canyon, stressed that hearing is a 'universal learning sense' active even when we are sleeping or anaesthetized.
[. . .]
'As you raise background noise it has the same effect on sound that fog has on vision,' he said.
[. . .]
Recent research has shown that natural sounds, such as tumbling water, bird song or wind rustling through trees, has a direct beneficial effect on our bodies and mental state.

Harvard University's $36 billion Endowment Enables Unending Construction, Harassment of Neighbors

Neighbors of the Harvard University renovated Cambridge truck stop, AKA Harvard University Art Museum, are familiar with the good vibrations of construction. Snap, Crackle and Pop go the nearby buildings.

Harvard University and Cambridge Officials Silent About Police Jurisdiction

Posted October 11, 2013 7:30 AM ET; Last updated October 12, 2013 5:15 PM ET

Two readers of the The Crimson (HUPD officers or employees?) showed their arrogance and ignorance questioning me about HUPD negligent training. As requested I directed them to the state statutes and to the property lines of Harvard University. The response was to retaliate by harassing me at my residence owned and operated by the President and Fellows of Harvard College. That is a felony, a violation of the MA state civil rights statute intimidating a person in the free exercise of a constitutionally guaranteed right. Speaking, writing, criticizing private police is a part of that right. The statute makes it clear it is not restricted to abuse by public officials. HUPD claims they are not public officials. Violations of state laws is what drew my attention to scrutinize HUPD in the first place. Happy New Year! You make my point for me. Not only is HUPD negligently trained but they abuse their power freely, which is the problem with most police, especially those who are negligently trained. Threats to have me "hit" accompany the harassment. 







Secretary of the Administrative Board John “Jay” L. Ellison , "Cat got your tongue?" CPD spokesperson Daniel M. Riviello, and HUPD spokesperson Steven G. Catalano did not explain the archaic notion of jurisdiction. CPD has lawful jurisdiction anywhere in the City of Cambridge. HUPD's fantasy (negligent training) is that HUPD has exclusive jurisdiction on Harvard University property. HUPD does not have jurisdiction to enforce city ordinances, which is what a noise violation is. The City has a poorly written noise ordinance which is always under review and complaints from annoyed concerned citizens. Nuisance and open container laws are state statutes. Would teaching students and others what laws are, and that troublesome concept of jurisdiction, help improve the conduct of city residents and visitors? Would it impact the constitutionally guaranteed and protected right to pursue a better quality of life?

Enjoying Noise is a Small Sacrifice

Enjoying Noise is a Small Sacrifice

The noise ordinance was not meant for deep pocketed Biotech firms. It was meant to keep the inebriated workers quiet as they leave the adult beverage cafes late at night. It is shocking to think that a city could impose its small-minded ordinances on a research corporation. Are these whiners Luddites or what? Noise is a small price to pay for advancing science. If researchers can kill individuals to benefit society what's wrong with blowing out a few ear drums or missing few hours of sleep? People who harass me, disturb my sleep every hour because they are paid to do so. Your sleep is disturbed to advance science. Sacrifice for your fellow man. As the Hero of the Kennedy cult said, "Ask not what your city can do for you. Ask what you can do for your city and for science?" Why so selfish?
