A fire destroyed a massive Jim Beam warehouse filled with 45,000 barrels of bourbon, sending flames shooting into the night sky and generating so much heat that firetruck lights melted, authorities said Wednesday.
Firefighters from four counties responded to the blaze that erupted late Tuesday. Lightning might have been a factor, but fire investigators haven’t been able to start looking for the cause, Woodford County Emergency Management Director Drew Chandler said.
No injuries were reported, Chandler said. The fire was contained but was being allowed to burn for several more hours Wednesday, he said.
“The longer it burns, the more of the distilled spirits burn with it,” he said in a phone interview. “So when they go to put it out, there will be less contaminated runoff that goes into a drinking-water tributary.”
A far-left organization funded by the New Israel Fund has been actively aiding the recent wave of protests – many of them violent – which erupted across the country following the shooting death of Solomon Tekah, an Ethiopian teenager, in Haifa.
While some of the protests across the country have been peaceful, others turned violent, including attacks on police officers, ambulances, and private cars.
The joint Arab-Jewish ‘Standing Together’ organization, which is funded by the NIF, has taken an active role in the protests, which began Monday, resumed Tuesday following Tekah’s funeral, and which are expected to continue Wednesday.
“When police officers shooting people, civilians, and kill them, we go out to the streets,” Standing Together said. “When officers with a trigger finger start shooting people – that is everyone’s problem, so we’re all going out to the streets: blacks and whites, Jews and Arabs. Let’s demand that the police protect civilians, or at least to begin with, that they stop killing them.”
The Holiest of the Holy, the deepest of the deep got caught up in the "Svartzah" Riots in Israel!
Yes... you heard it first, I was sitting in the car for 4 & 1/2 hours in with my wife on the way back from Ashdod to Bet Shemesh!
The Ethiopians learned very well from the Auerbach Parasites, but the Ethiopians were able to perfect this to a science ...
they started fires and when the fire trucks arrived they threw bricks and glass bottles at the firemen just like they do in Meah Shearim!
But they became the experts and the Auerbach barbarians still have a lot to learn...
The Ethiopians managed to shut down within a few minutes the entire Israel, and according to some reports.. 60,000 people were effected by the riots ......
I went out of my car to see what was holding it up and noticed a few hundred police officers standing around 5 little skinny girls sitting on Kvish ... not letting any cars go in four directions...
the police stood around and did absolutely nothing! Since I couldn't go anywhere, I shut my car off and chapped a shmuz with the other drivers ... One particular driver a Yeshivishe guy, was cursing the "Zionist Police" because they were standing around waiting for orders and wouldn't do anything ... He was going on and on telling us that his "wife and children are starving" and "thirsty and tired" and he "is so frustrated .." I asked him to calm down ... and told him we are not going anywhere for a very long time...one cop had told me "עד הבוקר " that the riots are expected to go on "till Morning" so it's better not to make a scene and calm his family down... I told him that I have some snacks and water and asked him where his car was so that I can personally do the mitzvah ... Guys ... sit down for this... When I approached his car ....his wife was screaming her head off telling us that her husband should be "the last one to be upset since he is one of the "Auerbach Faction" protest leaders ..." I'm telling you ..... only in Israel!

The Holy Rebbe of Satmar, R Aron Teitelbaum who begged US Congressmen to back the Iran Deal .... must be very happy with his work fighting the State of Israel ..... since his favorite country, Iran is very close to having complete Nuclear capabilities... In addition, Iran just threatened Israel again ... stating that Israel will be totally annihilated, Chas Ve'Shalom if the US should attack Iran!
IRan has breached the limit of its enriched uranium stockpile set in a 2015 deal with major powers, two sources told Reuters on Monday, defying a warning by European co-signatories to stick to the deal despite U.S. sanctions.
“As we announced when we said our steps would continue, the stockpile has passed 300 kg,” one of the sources said.

The physical effects of the Holocaust are still present in the brains of survivors’ grandchildren, research suggests.
The mental health of at least three generations of the same families was potentially damaged, say scientists, suggesting that the environment that one lives in can affect your offspring’s genes.
The study presented at a meeting of the European Academy of Neurology in Oslo was based on 56 people aged 79 and 80, half of whom survived the Holocaust.
It found that survivors had significantly less grey matter, or neurons, in areas of the brain responsible for stress response, memory, motivation, emotion, learning and behaviour.
Lead author Professor Ivan Rektor, from Masaryk University, Czech Republic, said: ‘Early results show this is also the case in children of survivors, too.’
The findings may lead to descendants being offered therapy to help them cope with the emotional legacy of the genocide, Professor Rektor added.
Further research will identify markers of stress resilience and post-traumatic growth and will determine whether transmission to offspring is based on behavioural, psychological or genetic factors.
A great opportunity for the entire family, to share some thoughts on the daf ... the family feels united by discussing what the head of the house is studying. I try to break it down so that everyone can understand it ....

''Fruit Consecrated to the Beis Ha'Mikdash"
What is the halacha regarding fruits consecrated to the Beis Ha'Mikdash shortly before the Bais Ha'Mikdash got destroyed? Halacha stipulates that since the Bais Ha'Mikdash was destroyed, nothing could be done with previously consecrated fruits. Such fruit must remain untouched and left to rot, as everyone is forbidden to benefit from the fruit. Press "read more" right belowto see rest of the dafim
