DEL RIO Texas - An injured bear cub has been spotted near a walking trail in Del Rio.
The city is warning people who live in the northern part of the city to keep a close eye on their kids and pets who are outside because an injured bear cub was seen near the Agarita Walking Trail.
If you see the bear cub, don't interfere with it, just let it go on its way out of the city.
Texas Parks and Wildlife experts are following their bear protocols and monitoring this cub.

Shooting didn’t feature at the St Louis 1904 and Amsterdam 1928 Olympics but has been at all other Summer Games. Separate events for women were added at Los Angeles 1984. The sport is governed by the International Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF).
Although shooters are largely confined to one place during competition, the sport is nevertheless mentally and physically demanding.
“For a layman, when he sees a shooter, he thinks, there is no physical effort,” Athens 2004 Olympian Suma Shirur told Firstpost. “But in reality, there is a lot of effort.
"There is a lot of physical activity that is not seen from outside," Suma pointed out. "Because the most natural aspect of the human body is movement. If I have to control the movement, hold my body steady, at the same place for a long period of time, I need a lot of muscle endurance. That needs a lot of strength. For that, you need to have good fitness."
Here, we explore shooting at the Olympics, the basic rules and the various events.
Olympic shooting features three types of guns — Rifle, pistol and shotgun. In rifle and pistol events, athletes shoot at stationary targets at indoor shooting ranges. Shotgun, however, is held outdoors where shooters have to aim at targets hurled in the air.
All shooting is done from a prescribed distance -- 10m, 25m, 50m -- with athletes aiming for a bullseye on a paper target or flying ‘clays’ in the shotgun.
The rifle is single-loaded in 5.6-millimetre calibre (the inner diameter of a gun barrel), which is used across all events.
The pistol used in the 10m Air Pistol event is a single-loaded pistol in 4.5-millimetre calibre
whereas the ones used in the 25m events is a Rapid Fire Pistol in 5.6 calibre with a five-shot magazine
The shotgun is a 12 gauge having a calibre of 18.5-millimetres
The gauge is a unit of measurement for firearms
the gauge is determined by the number of equally-weighing spherical balls made from a pound of lead
Do you know the difference between Rifles & Pistols
Special jackets or coats are used by shooters to assist them while performing by offering stability
The surface of these special jackets is non-slippery and thus
The extra-padding inside these jackets negates the effects of recoil
The padding on the elbows provides a firm base
which is crucial for rifle shooters in the prone position
Picture by 2016 Getty ImagesBlinders are used to improve focus and block objects from distracting their vision
One front blinder of a prescribed width is allowed for shooters
only shotgun athletes are permitted to wear side blinders or blinkers
Shooting at Athens 1896 consisted of only five events
but the discipline has since grown in stature at the Olympic Games
pistol and shotgun events -- covering men and women
athletes fire at a target with 10 concentric circles at a fixed distance
The event is further divided into two subcategories — 50m Rifle 3 Positions and 10m Air Rifle
50m Rifle 3 Positions: Athletes shoot at the target from three different positions — kneeling
Each participant fires 40 shots in each of the three aforementioned positions within a timeframe of two hours and 45 minutes
The eight highest-scoring shooters move on to the medal round
Picture by 2012 Getty Images10m Air Rifle: Shooters fire 60 shots at the target within a timeframe of one hour and 15 minutes
the eight highest-scoring shooters battle it out for the medals
In addition to the men’s and women’s categories
the 10m Air Rifle also features a mixed team event consisting of one male and one female athlete
Each team member fires 40 shots at the target within 50 minutes in the qualification round
after which five teams qualify for the final round
Pistol shooting features three subcategories – 25m Rapid Fire Pistol
25m Rapid Fire Pistol: This is a men’s only event where shooters have to fire shots successively over short periods of eight
The qualification round features two rounds of 30 shots each
Eight shooters with the best score qualify for the medal round
Picture by 2012 Getty Images25m Pistol: This is a women’s-only event
features two qualifying rounds of 30 shots each
10m Air Pistol: The rules of this event are a replica of the 10m Air Rifle
Shooters in the solo categories fire 60 shots within a timeframe of one hour and 15 minutes before the top-eight move on to the medal round
each team member fires 40 shots and the five top-scoring teams slug it out for the overall honours
Skeet and Trap are two shotgun events where athletes fire at an object -- measuring just 10cm in diameter -- called ‘clay’ flying at over 100kph
While both events feature the men’s and women’s category
Skeet: Both male and female athletes fire at clay targets from eight different spots
one on the left and another on the right end of the shooting range
The left house is called the ‘high house’ and the clays flying in from it are known as ‘mark’
The house on the right is called ‘low house’ and the clays are called ‘pull’
Athletes take 25 shots each in five rounds over three days and the six best shooters move on to the medal round
Picture by 2004 Getty ImagesTrap: Shooters fire at clays thrown in front of them from five different positions
The preliminary round of the men’s and women’s event is similar to that of Skeet
In the Trap mixed team event featuring one male and female competitor
every shooter fires 75 shots in three rounds of 25 shots each
The top six teams then battle it out in the medal round
where two targets are released from the house at the same time

when 24-year-old Tommie Smith won the Olympic gold medal in the men’s 200 meters and approached the podium alongside fellow American John Carlos
But both men knew they would protest racial injustice in some form
What they didn’t know is that their actions would spark a legacy of athlete activism for decades to come
“We were preparing to walk across the track and get on the victory stand and receive the award
John Carlos and I had talked and we knew we were going to do something,” says Smith
“But nobody knew exactly what Tommie Smith and John Carlos were going to do
Smith and Carlos’ gesture on a warm October night has become immortalized in Olympic lore over the last five decades
Their fists in the air have come to symbolize strength in the face of injustice
solidarity against our society’s greatest ills
The raising of Smith’s fist was a truly spontaneous act
Though the plan for a demonstration had been years in the making
the son of a field worker and cowboy in north Texas
made his way to California in 1965 as he joined the San Jose State track team
And he quickly helped the program become a national powerhouse
Smith set a world-record in May 1966 as he ran the 200 meters straight in 19.5 seconds
and he won the NCAA men’s outdoor track and field championship one month later
Yet Smith’s excellence didn’t lead to admiration throughout the community
Smith and his fellow athletes were treated as second-class citizens the second they left the track
“San Jose State was the strongest track and field team in history
But nothing was really done about the negatives of being treated less than,” Smith says
“We would break a world record or run a good meet and we would still be relegated back to second-class status when we returned to campus or returned to our communities.”
The athletes at San Jose State quickly became tired of the treatment they received outside of the track
Smith and Carlos joined the the Olympic Project for Human Rights
a group founded by sociologist Harry Edwards in an attempt to protest against racial segregation in America and abroad
“This was the first time that a group of Black athletes stood against social negatives such as racism,” Smith says
...People didn’t want to acknowledge the trials and tribulations of Black athletes.”
The Olympic Project for Human Rights considered a boycott of the 1968 Olympics as they protested American segregation
the war in southeast Asia and the stripping of Muhammed Ali’s heavyweight title
they opted to make their voices heard on the Olympic stage
That decision was met with considerable pushback
Former IOC president Avery Brundage insisted any athletes who demonstrated would be sent home and subsequently banned from Olympic competition
For 24-year-old Smith and 23-year-old Carlos
there was potential to compete in another Olympics after the fall of 1968
The protest in Mexico City cost them their careers in the heart of their respective primes
and Smith noted a similar conversation with his dad
‘There are a lot of people who say you did a bad thing,’” Smith recalls
you’ve been working in the fields your whole life
and you know there are some things that were done to you and you knew it wasn’t right
I put my hand up to say let’s work together and let’s fight racism
but he needs to treat you like a man.'”
Smith returned to athletics for a brief period after the end of his Olympic career
playing three seasons for the Bengals after being contacted by former Cincinnati assistant and 49ers legend Bill Walsh
Smi wasn’t much of a receiver—opting to run past the ball on purpose during workouts to avoid dropping it—and he quickly transitioned to a career in education
Smith worked as an assistant athletic director
track coach and sociology professor at Oberlin College
and he then returned to California where he worked at Santa Monica College for 27 years
Smith's athletic career was cut short by a society all-too-willing to bolster injustice and racism
He’s proud of those who have carried the torch in recent years
“Those athletes who stand up for the society of righteousness have my right hand
the hand that was in the air in 1968,” Smith says
“We were far ahead of our time trying to break the cycle of ignorance
and it’s being taken over now by young folks who are probably highlighted now more than Tommie Smith and John Carlos.”
The pair of Black fists raised in the Mexico City night have become an indelible Olympic image over the last half century
And the memory of Smith and Carlos’ act has drawn as much analysis as it has admiration
yet his message rings true as the fight against racism and injustice continues nearly 52 years later

This capacity expansion will allow Avnet to manage a part of its semiconductor business from Belgium
With Avnet’s divestiture of its Technology Solutions business and the exit of activity related to that business
significant warehouse capacity became available at the distribution centre in Tongeren which will now be used for components logistics
The planned modernisation in Tongeren is targeted to be finished later this year
Avnet plans to move part of its semiconductor inventory from Poing to Tongeren.
Avnet’s state-of-the-art distribution centre in Poing will remain in place and is planned to fully utilise its capacity and modern storage/scheduling technologies
The Product Modification Centre in Poing – one of Europe’s biggest – will also remain in place and further serve all Avnet Value Added Services customers
we experienced a significant growth in semiconductor sales and even more in volume,” stated Slobodan Puljarevic
Since January 2018 Puljarevic shares the Avnet EMEA responsibility with Avnet Silica President Mario Orlandi.
Avnet determined that a two-warehouse strategy for semiconductors not only supports growth goals
but also sustains balanced risk management across the entire business
“We now can benchmark two different warehouse topologies for their productivity and service quality and make adjustments accordingly
once we are ready with the expansion in Tongeren
will be executed so that customers and suppliers experience a seamless transition.”

topped with a differentiated roof landscape
created as a new landmark for the community
the building emerges from a solid pedestal of nagelfluh
a conglomerate stone typical of the region
wrapped in a distinctive façade of white ceramic tiles that produces a manifold refraction of light due to its irregular geometry
all images by michael heinrich and florian holzherr
linking the new northern and the old southern district, meck architekten‘s design forms the beginning of a large green corridor running towards the northwest
the church’s irregular roofscape becomes a crystalline city crown for the poing community
on top of which sits a gilded cross and a rooster that looks to the east
the space is flooded with light through various skylights and three large openings that are created as an analogy to the holy trinity
together with diffused scattered natural light create an atmosphere of transcendence
the multi-purpose space offers different places of worship
both for small and for larger groups of visitors
the differentiation between the white crown – the upper part of the structure – and the stone floor and wall base illustrates the idea of heaven and earth
benches are grouped in blocks around the ceremonial center of the altar
while all liturgical places and stalls are characterized by the spirit of communion and the ‘choreography’ of different ceremonies

In 2016, Budweiser renamed its beer “America” for the summer, an attempt to take advantage of the wave of patriotic sentiment associated with Memorial Day and the Fourth of July. The creative director responsible for the rebranding explained: "We thought nothing was more iconic than Budweiser and nothing was more iconic than America."
but it doesn’t carry the same connotations everywhere
Here are 13 things described with “American” in other countries
do-anything tool we call duct tape is known as cinta americana
a set of brass knuckles are le poing américain
Brazilian Portuguese has the term alface americana
or “American lettuce,” to refer to iceberg lettuce—or
roller coasters are known as amerikanskie gorki
in most of the Romance languages they are known as “Russian mountains.”
The Slovenians call cole slaw ameriška solata
or “American salad,” as do other countries in Eastern Europe
The khao pad American served in Thailand is rarely found in American Thai restaurants
The rice is fried with ketchup or tomato sauce
It is served with some combination of fried chicken
it was created during the Vietnam War when many Americans were stationed in Thailand
and the dish went on to become Thai comfort food
stores that carry camping and hunting equipment
and sporting goods often go by Amerikaanse Stock
or “free American,” is a style of catch-as-catch-can
The phrase also has the more general sense of “all bets are off” or anything goes
a casual potluck where everyone brings a dish is called an amerikaanse fuif
or "American party." Brazil also uses festa americana to describe this type of event
the open plan style of kitchen is called an “American kitchen,” as opposed to the traditional style of kitchen closed off by a wall
literally "little American tablecloth," is a placemat
placemats are also considered American; sets of them are called jogo americano
The Dutch have an easy phrase to pull out when talking about huge gaps between rich and poor
cans of beer labeled “America.” Amerikaanse toestanden
or “American conditions,” are something to be warned against
“let’s be careful with this decision and not get ourselves a bad case of American conditions.”

America is certainly iconic, and a worldwide brand of sorts, but it doesn’t carry the same connotations everywhere. Here are 13 things described with “American” in other countries.
In Spain, the versatile, do-anything tool we call duct tape is known as cinta americana, or “American tape.”
In French, a set of brass knuckles are le poing américain, or “the American fist.”
Brazilian Portuguese has the term alface americana, or “American lettuce,” to refer to iceberg lettuce—or, as my cousin Jairo informs me, “lettuce like McDonald’s uses.”
In Russian, roller coasters are known as amerikanskie gorki, or “American mountains.” Interestingly, in most of the Romance languages they are known as “Russian mountains.”
The Slovenians call cole slaw ameriška solata, or “American salad,” as do other countries in Eastern Europe.
The khao pad American served in Thailand is rarely found in American Thai restaurants. The rice is fried with ketchup or tomato sauce, and might be mixed with raisins and peas. It is served with some combination of fried chicken, bacon, hot dogs, ham, and croutons. Apparently, it was created during the Vietnam War when many Americans were stationed in Thailand, and the dish went on to become Thai comfort food.
In Belgium, stores that carry camping and hunting equipment, tools, boots, military surplus, and sporting goods often go by Amerikaanse Stock, or “American stock.”
Wolna amerykanka, or “free American,” is a style of catch-as-catch-can, no-restrictions wrestling in Poland. The phrase also has the more general sense of “all bets are off” or anything goes.
In Dutch, a casual potluck where everyone brings a dish is called an amerikaanse fuif, or "American party." Brazil also uses festa americana to describe this type of event.
In Spain, the open plan style of kitchen is called an “American kitchen,” as opposed to the traditional style of kitchen closed off by a wall.
In Japanese, a hot dog is a hottodoggu, but a corn dog is an amerikandoggu.
In Italian, a tovaglia is a table cloth. A tovaglietta all’americana, literally "little American tablecloth," is a placemat. In Brazil, placemats are also considered American; sets of them are called jogo americano, or “American set.”
The Dutch have an easy phrase to pull out when talking about huge gaps between rich and poor, lack of healthcare or education access, school shootings, or a range of other situations, including, probably, cans of beer labeled “America.” Amerikaanse toestanden, or “American conditions,” are something to be warned against, as in, “let’s be careful with this decision and not get ourselves a bad case of American conditions.”
is in the Rosenheim district on the shores of Lake Chiemsee
it’s had some famous previous residents: Pope Benedict XVI’s mother was born and raised in Rimsting and worked as a cook in some of the lakeside hotels
It’s a fair amount of work to visit Wank, a mountain in the Alps in southern Bavaria that’s 1,780 metres (5,840 feet) high
so they wonder why tourists insist on taking pictures with every ‘Zum Wank’ (‘To Wank’) sign

Poing Down the road from Mount Wank and about 18 kilometres (11.2 miles) from Munich is Poing
One of its main attractions is Wildpark Poing
Bad Kissingen goes way back to AD 801; this Lower Franconian district is home to a famous spa town of the same name once known for its healing mineral springs
It’s maintained its therapeutic reputation today and was where the Chinese Olympic football team trained for the 2008 Beijing Olympics
The German-Chinese Football Academy is still open today

Petting This small municipality is right on the Austrian border
a pretty lake formed by melting glaciers at the end of the last ice age
there’s some evidence Petting dates back as far as the Roman Empire
Wangerland didn’t stop at their name – its coat of arms is a topless mermaid. When in Wangerland, right? It’s up in northern Germany, almost in the North Sea and not too far from Bremen and Hamburg
Wangerland has history: first human settlements date back to 2nd century BC

Wankum This tiny village just off the A40 autobahn gets a disproportionate number of English-speaking visitors popping in to take pictures with their ‘Welcome to Wankum’ signs
Wankum is part of the Wachtendonk municipality
Titisee is a high-altitude lake in the popular Black Forest district
appearances can be deceiving: the lake covers 1.3 km² (321 acres) and is
and there are several theories how it came about: some say it honors a local nobleman Titini; another theory is that it was named after infamous Roman general

Fahrtgasse Too good to ignore, Fahrtgasse is actually a street, one of the main thoroughfares in the bustling city of Heidelburg, home to Germany’s oldest university
it’s in the heart of the city’s shopping district
and one of Heidelburg’s main swimming pools is on Fahrtgasse
The names don’t stop at the border: Austria pips it to the list for some of the most brilliantly hilarious names
the now infamous town of Fucking (rhymes with ‘booking’) gave the world theft-resistant road signs
but four cities named Windpassing (one is twinned with Middelfart in Denmark)

Canon’s Stuart Rising has been promoted to the role of head of commercial printing
replacing the recently departed Craig Nethercott
having previously worked in a variety of roles within Océ and then Canon Océ following its acquisition.
Nethercott relocated to Australia at the beginning of this month to become managing director of Océ Oceania
ahead of Canon Australia moving production printing products sales under the Océ brand
Rising said: “I am really excited about the role
I think the bit that really differentiates us as an organisation is the way we go to market
I’ve got a team of consultants and the way we take that depth of knowledge in a very uniformed and structured way really adds value
“I’m very much looking forward to continuing this approach and working with a team that has significant knowledge and experience.”
Rising said he had spent his first fortnight travelling around the UK and meeting clients, along with attending the Canon Commercial Production Printing Business Days event in Poing
he will be reporting to Canon’s director of industrial and production solutions Duncan Smith
“The commercial printing team continue to go from strength to strength and Stuart will help build on their success,” said Smith
Rising joined Océ in 1999 and served as first a regional sales manager for commercial print and then a national sales manager following Canon’s acquisition of Océ
before being offered to head up the Canon UK 3D operation
Rising has been replaced in the interim by Canon head of AEC and manufacturing Dominic Fahy
He added that a big part of next year’s focus would be continuing to go to market with the 2015-launched Varioprint i300
“I’m not looking to make dramatic changes but it’s about keeping doing what we’re doing and making sure we can keep driving the consultative approach,” he finished.

After rock, Lucien Chéenne returns with an album of twilight songs, Tears in the Fist which reveals his talent and his poetic sensitivity
an album which evokes Alain Bashung or Jacques Higelin
it reveals the beauty of his lyrics and the splendid range of his voice
The inspiration came to Astaffort while meeting other musicians for writing sessions
The artist evokes his turbulent life in this dense and melancholic album
" Behind love is a reconciliation
A declaration of love from a son to his father
when the fire of conflicts is extinguished
and the final stretch of life appears on the horizon
When the time comes to say "I love you." And to engrave it in eternity
"Behind Love" is a beautiful ballad that navigates between the psychedelic folk-rock of Nino Ferrer's "South" period
and the hallucinatory folk-pop of Philippe Brach
A lesson in life and love to meditate on."

Because the North is a land of festive tradition where we laugh loudly (in France)
where we speak loudly and where we share “thoroughly”
the party unfolds without apology and everyone enjoys it
being neither ashamed of their joy nor afraid of ridicule
When the music goes up in Aulnoye and it is good
we willingly let off steam in an unbridled and good-natured atmosphere
The scenes that follow one another at the frenetic pace of the enthusiastic crowds who respond “present” (even shout it) with all their heart and all their body with wild gestures
ola and whimsical farandoles and astonishing looks
To keep your turbulent child's soul but to lose your voice
a way of being together without sulking in your pleasure
in a warm fervor like no other… And not one artist who does not feel it
it took a unique know-how to host such beautiful sets
Long patience and a thousand tricks of the programming
management of flows and a sense of welcoming audiences and artists
talents and professions so that for 3 days the party is in full swing..
But the party would not be complete without this extraordinary savoir-vivre that this region spontaneously delivers: a warm sense of welcome
a welcome self-mockery and good humor (even if it is a little noisy)
to resell finally not to give… Knowing how to live together
is also enjoying this constant benevolence in human relationships
This is how we have remained “on a human scale”
because we have ensured that each meeting keeps all its promises: a direct contact
a sharing where no one would feel excluded
a sort of instant memory that is invented before our eyes
Like a Festival that wants to remain alive
always ensures that the noise never causes discomfort and that the implementation of this celebration is as respectful as possible of others
Because the new Savoir-fête must be as uncompromising as it is fervent
It is the 23rd edition of this little pearl of the North which aims for excellence in matters of "party know-how" : beyond its now famous Secret Courses which will be unveiled in the spring
its societal and environmental commitments
the festival is distinguished by the diversity of its stages
