BEIJING (AP) — China has seized more than 2,700 ivory tusks in what customs authorities are calling the country's biggest smuggling case in years.
China's Customs Administration announced Monday that it confiscated nearly 7.5 tons (6,803 kilograms) of ivory on March 30. The illicit goods came from an international criminal group that has been smuggling ivory for some time, authorities said, noting that 20 suspects are now in custody.
"We have a zero tolerance policy when it comes to smuggling ivory tusks, as well as other products from endangered species," Customs Vice Minister Hu Wei said at a news briefing.
Since the start of the year, customs officers have seized a total of 8.5 tons (7,711 kilograms) of ivory products through 53 investigations. An additional 129 cases involved the smuggling of other endangered animal products, including pangolin scales, shark fins and turtle shells.
The ivory seized on March 30 came from Nigeria and other African countries, said Sun Zhijie, head of the administration's anti-smuggling bureau. It was shipped across multiple countries, hidden in cargo containers of wood and kept in an old Chinese waste factory while the suspects prepared to sell it, Sun said.
China has cracked down on smuggling in recent years and implemented in 2018 a total ban on all trade in ivory products. The ban does not cover the semiautonomous port of Hong Kong, which remains a major transit point for endangered species products and other contraband. The financial center is now working toward a complete ban on the local ivory trade, slated to take effect by 2021.

New plans and resolutions are the mark of the New Year. Both personally and professionally, the end of the calendar year is a great time to assess what is working well and what needs work.
As a business owner, you'll likely spend some time at year's end looking at your books, reviewing your year, and making plans for 2017. While you're at it, consider taking a fresh look at your website. Websites are notorious for going out of date quickly—as your business evolves, as markets change, as audiences grow. Don't let a revision be daunting. Take it one step at a time.
1. Create an audience. If you don't already have an ideal client in mind, create that person. Give that person a name, a voice, an occupation, a family, a hobby. Take some time to read through your website as if you were that person. Is it written for them, or does it feel like something is off? Do you talk to them and also ten other types of people? It's ok to have a few people in mind while sharing your message, but if your copy doesn't have a clear voice it might be time to look at a rewrite.
2. Look at your images. Are they high quality? Do they reach that person you created when you looked at your copy? Can you replace them with better ones? Do they illustrate what your business is and what you are trying to achieve? We live in a very visual world. If a site doesn't look clean and professional in the first three seconds of viewing, a visitor may move on without reading anything.
3. Navigate. Does the structure of your site make sense? Are there too many pages or is the information overwhelming? Is it easy to navigate? Is there a better way to organize?
Don't be afraid to get feedback from coworkers, friends, family, even competition. Instead of being defensive about their feedback, take it graciously and decide that maybe you can use at least 20% of it.
As you reevaluate your business goals, you may even decide to redo your entire site. It may seem like a lot of work, but it is worth the effort. Remember – your website is one of the first parts of your business that people see, and first impressions are everything!
We're wishing you a happy, healthful and successful 2017. Let us know if you need help making your website even better!

With our phones being the number one form of communication nowadays, knowing how to start a conversation over text is vital.
Depending on your personality, texting may be easier or more difficult than an in-person conversation for you. When you are face-to-face, things can flow more naturally. Over text, you may overthink and feel the need to plan out what you're going to say. So, knowing how to start a conversation over text is vital.
Do you start with a simple "hey" and hope it takes off from there? Or do you go in with a question or share a funny meme?
There is no one rule or method that applies to everyone you may be texting. If you're texting someone for the first time, it will be different than starting a follow-up conversation or chatting up a friend.
Before going in with a pickup line or dirty joke, take into account how well you know this person and what sort of conversation will feel natural.
No one wants to come off clingy or too interested. You also want to have a conversation, so you have to find a happy medium depending on your relationship with that person.
#1 Are you texting someone new? When it comes to knowing how to start a conversation over text with someone new, that is probably the most challenging. If you didn't meet at school or work you may not have anything in common to offer a reason for reaching out.
Adding a glimpse of your hobbies or interests into your first text will give them something to latch onto to carry on the conversation. It can also welcome follow up questions. Say you mentioned just getting back from a weekend away, you can then talk about traveling.
#3 Are you texting someone from work? If you recently got a mutual friend's number, say a co-worker or peer, reaching out should be easier. You have common ground to walk on, so to speak.
You can go in asking about a work project, clarifying something your boss said, asking for some notes you missed, or even bringing up something a mutual friend said. This all makes starting a conversation a bit less nerve-racking. It shows you have a reason to reach out on top of just wanting to chat.
#4 Can you woo a friend? Probably not with one text, but with a series of fun and flirty conversations… maybe so. If you have a crush on a friend of yours, avoid texting them the same way you normally would. That will only push you further into the dreaded friend zone.
Try something subtly flirty. Even a simple compliment like, "You looked great yesterday," puts a less platonic spin on the conversation. You can also go for the go to, make them laugh. Try a meme or link to a funny article.
Or you could come all out and make it obvious that you are looking to advance your friendship. Send them a BuzzFeed list or quiz about being stuck in the friend zone and see if they pick up on that less than subtle hint.
#5 Want to reach out to the person you've been dating? Knowing exactly how to start a conversation over text with the person you have only just begun dating can be confusing. Do you go straight in all comfy like you're official with a "Hey, babe?" Or do you hold back?
You want to remain confident, but not too enveloped or else you can come across a little needy. Start with a question regarding something you've discussed before. Ask how that meeting at work went or if their mom had a nice birthday. This not only shows you listen but are invested in their life too.
#6 Want to reach out after a fight? Sending the first text after a fight can be awkward. You don't know if the anger has blown over. You aren't sure if you can go in with humor or how exactly to measure the situation.
If you want to start a conversation after a fight, whether big or small, an apology is a great place to begin. It doesn't have to mean you admit you were wrong, but just that you feel bad that you fought and want to work it out.
#7 Can you start a conversation after radio silence? Just like texting someone new, starting back up after weeks, months, or even years of not talking can go array. Either the person won't answer, will be curious where you've been all that time, or will actually want to talk.
The best way to go about this is to either come straight out with the facts, instead of trying to hide it. Saying something like, "Hey, I know it has been a long time since we talked, but I wanted to see how you are," is a great place to start.
You could also start this conversation with an old picture you may have found or reboot news on a TV show you know they love, anything that would show that something reminded you of them will feel more natural.
#8 Are you still too nervous? If all else fails a wrong text fake out is slightly immature, but still a less risky way to go. If you're scared of rejection or ghosting you can say something you would text a sibling. Something like, "we're out of milk," or "I don't know, ask mom." They'll know this text isn't for them, but it can be an entryway into a new conversation.
Knowing how to start a conversation over text is pretty much a must-have skill with the way dating works in 2000-something! Follow these tips and send out your first text!

stated on August 17, 2016 in an op-ed in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.:
On the Trans-Pacific Partnership.
By Anna Orso August 22, 2016
Pat Toomey's shifting stance on the Trans-Pacific Partnership
Sen. Pat Toomey has historically been one of the most pro-trade lawmakers in the Senate. The Pennsylvania Republican -- now in the political fight of his life in an attempt to keep his seat -- even wrote a book in 2009 called The Road to Prosperity, which touted the benefits of free trade.
But last week, Toomey penned an op-ed that appeared in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette denouncing the Trans-Pacific Partnership, a trade deal being spearheaded by the Obama administration, writing "we should not pass a flawed deal just to get a deal done."
He continued: "We should dump the TPP and return to the negotiating table to get an agreement that would create jobs and economic growth here at home."
Coming from Toomey, this stance was surprising, largely because the senator last year voted for and applauded the Trade Promotion Authority that was largely branded as a way for Washington to fast-track the TPP.
So did Toomey flip-flop his stance on the TPP, especially as public support for the deal fades? We're not making a judgement call on the policy itself, but let's look at the facts of whether or not Toomey changed his stance.
The TPP would be one of the largest regional trade deals in history. It involves the United States and 11 other countries -- including Japan, Australia, Mexico and Singapore -- on the Pacific rim that represent a third of worldwide trade, and has been seen as an effort by the Obama administration to lessen China's influence in the region.
But the deal has left both parties split, as some consider the effort to be one that will kill jobs in the United States and encourage foreign outsourcing. Former Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders greatly opposed the deal, as has Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump. Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, who once supported the TPP as secretary of state, came out against it as a presidential candidate, and PolitiFact rated it a Full Flop.
Toomey's spokeswoman E.R. Anderson says Toomey never made a decision on his support for the TPP. Meanwhile, his opponent Democrat Katie McGinty has been launching public attacks on Toomey over the last week, claiming his stance on TPP is a 180 compared to what he said before.
"Pat Toomey has spent his entire career pushing bad trade deals and policies that ship Americans jobs overseas, so nobody is buying this ridiculous flip flop," McGinty said in a statement.
Her campaign has pointed out that in 2015, Toomey voted in favor of the Trade Promotion Authority, or the TPA, which was known as the "fast-track" bill. That legislation was basically a procedural vote in Congress that would make it easier for a final trade deal to pass because it requires lawmakers give a final trade deal an up or down vote without making any amendments.
The Obama administration said this was a critical step in the process of negotiating with the other countries involved in the TPP. Before the TPA was passed, Toomey appeared on "Morning Joe" on MSNBC and urged support for the bill's passage, saying "this trade agreement is going to knock down barriers to allow us to export more manufactured goods from Pennsylvania."
The interview was branded as being about the TPA. But interviewer Joe Scarborough asked Toomey about "the trade deal." Toomey went on to discuss "countries that we're dealing with," implying he was talking about the TPP -- not the TPA, which was a congressional procedural amendment.
"This helps to encourage economic growth in the United States, job creation in Pennsylvania and the United States, and importantly Joe, you know these countries that we're dealing with, they're changing, they're evolving some of them are rapidly developing," Toomey said during the interview. "They're either going to do that under the influence of the Chinese, who are very aggressively trying to insert themselves, or they're going to do it with us."
MSNBC showed a graphic of countries involved with the TPP, and Scarborough asked Toomey, "Isn't this one more step in a globalization process that has gutted manufacturing not only in Pennsylvania, but across America?"

"NAFTA, signed by Bill Clinton, has been a disaster for Pennsylvania."
By Mark Dent • August 18, 2016
Toomey, responded "no" and said, "we've got an opportunity with this trade agreement to knock down some of the barriers that keep our products out, so I think this is going to be very constructive."
At no point during the interview did Toomey say he was waiting to reserve judgement on the substance of the TPP, unlike other senators who voted in favor of the TPA. Democrat Sen. Tim Kaine, now Clinton's running mate, also voted in favor of the TPA, but was explicit at the time in saying he would not vote in favor of the TPP once negotiations were finalized if it didn't include certain assurances. Kaine has since come out against the TPP.
When the TPA was passed, Toomey's office put out a press release reading: "Today, we are a big step closer toward creating more jobs, lifting wages, and boosting economic growth for Pennsylvania."
The statement continued: "In fact, at a Senate Finance Committee hearing in April senior administration officials assured me that if the 11-nation Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement is enacted, our state would likely see a further surge in exports." Again, Toomey didn't express that he waiting on negotiations to conclude before he made an endorsement of the TPP itself.
Now, Anderson says that was simply an approval of the TPA and an expression of optimism that a final TPP deal would "be good for Pennsylvania."
"He's not saying anything is a direct correlation," Anderson said. "He's saying this process will lead to negotiations that lead to a better result, and the result is not to his liking."
Joshua P. Meltzer, a senior fellow in the Global Economy and Development department at the Brookings Institute, told PolitiFact that though the TPP could likely not have been completed without the TPA, the TPA was not created solely for the passage of the TPP. For instance, he said, the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership and the Trade in Services Agreement could also be passed under TPA if finished in time.
"The debate around TPA, while certainly influenced by the expected completion of TPP," he said, "was more general in nature and focused on the impacts of trade more broadly than the specific benefits of TPP."
Toomey wrote in the Post-Gazette op-ed that his biggest problems with the TPP are that one, he believes there aren't enough intellectual property protections for innovations in the life science and pharmaceutical sectors, and two, he says the TPP falls short in its protections for dairy farms in Pennsylvania who largely depend on exports.
However, during that 2015 MSNBC interview, Toomey told Scarborough: "It's definitely going to increase our ability to sell agricultural products overseas. It's going to help to protect the intellectual property of some of our really terrifically dynamic companies like pharmaceuticals and medical device companies."
McGinty has been against the TPP, but did support the North American Free Trade Agreement 20 years ago while working in the White House' Office of Environmental Policy under former President Bill Clinton.
Our Ruling
Pat Toomey wrote in an op-ed this week that he's against the Trans-Pacific Partnership, though he voted in favor of a bill in 2015 that fast-tracked its passage. While experts say voting in favor of the Trade Promotion Authority legislation wasn't necessarily a symbolic vote of confidence in the TPP, the final outcome was that the TPP couldn't have happened without it.
In addition, Toomey -- who has been largely pro-trade in the past -- was interviewed on MSNBC last year and supported a trade deal, not just the TPA, which was a procedural vote in Congress. Asked multiple times during the interview, Toomey touted the benefits of a trade deal and didn't temper his feelings by saying he'd reserve judgement on the TPP until negotiations wrapped up. He only says now, while he's up for re-election, that he wanted to wait to decide on whether or not he supported TPP.
We rate this a Full Flop.

Эрмитажный гараж — здание действующего гаража, расположенное во внутреннем дворе Государственного Эрмитажа.

Здание из новаторского по тем временам материала — шлакоблоков — построено по проекту архитектора Николая Крамского для императора Николая II в 1911 году. Красно-кирпичный цвет фасадов в точности повторяет цвет окраски фасадов Зимнего дворца в начале XX века.

Ныне гараж находится в ведении автотранспортного отдела Государственного Эрмитажа. В 2011 году отреставрирован и приспособлен для современного использования (автор проекта В. В. Ефимов).

Okay, I mostly try not to reblog things that are just funny or cute, but I kind of love this … and it reminds me so much of my therapist (especially the tea, but not so much the invoice at the end :D).
I guess, really, I'm reblogging this because my therapist is amazing, and while this is funny and cute, it also has a lot to say about what makes a good therapist.

Paul Love to seek Second Ward seat on Columbia City Council
Brittany Ruess @brittanyruess
A former Columbia city council candidate who narrowly lost his bid for the Second Ward seat will challenge the incumbent again this year.
Paul Love, a computer networking specialist who also lost a bid for mayor in 2010, filed with the city clerk's office Tuesday afternoon, City Clerk Sheela Amin said. He will try to unseat Michael Trapp, who was first elected in 2012 and is seeking a third term.
Trapp defeated Love by 83 votes in the last Second Ward election.
Love said he has not felt properly represented by Trapp, particularly when Trapp voted to grant $2 million in tax increment financing to David Parmley, owner of the downtown Broadway Hotel, for a second, $20 million hotel tower.
Considering Trapp's paid work for the Downtown Community Improvement District, Love said Trapp's vote is a conflict of interest. The Downtown CID board, which Parmley sits on, approved a contract with Trapp's business, AAAAChange, LLC to combat homelessness downtown.
AAAAChange is being paid $75 per hour for outreach services during business hours and $100 an hour during nights and weekends. The CID is also playing the business $265 a day for detox services.
"He should not be voting on things impacting the District," Love said.
Trapp in an interview Tuesday said he doesn't feel his work and his vote represent a conflict of interest. He said he had conversations with the city's legal staff gave him the OK to vote on the TIF.
Trapp, who has spent his career working in social services, said he was the lowest and best bidder for the CID, and scoffed Love's claim.
Love said he wants to work on increasing the number of police officers in the Columbia Police Department to combat violent crime. He said he's also talked to numerous police officers who feel they aren't adequately represented on the city council.
He would also like to concentrate on improving the city's infrastructure — an issue he said is highlighted by recent water main breaks during cold weather. Some residents continue to have sewer issues with water backing up into their homes.
"If you want change in government, you have to become involved," Love said.
The issues are similar to those Love campaigned on two years ago. In a March 2015 Tribune interview, Love said the three issues at the top of the city council's agenda should be to "provide a government the people can trust," repair infrastructure and support public safety services.
Trapp said public safety improvements have been a cornerstone of his tenure as a city council member. Both candidates said they want to see the city use a community policing model.
Love also competed in the April 2010 mayoral race, which attracted six candidates. Former Columbia Mayor Bob McDavid won with 54 percent of the vote. Love placed fourth with 2.48 percent.
Candidates seeking city council seats must collect at least 50 signatures to include with their petition. The 70 signatures Love collected still must be verified by the Boone County Clerk's Office.
Only incumbent Betsy Peters turned in paperwork for the Sixth Ward seat before filing ended at 5 p.m. Tuesday.

Is it possible that from the tiny country of Iceland, a spark can be lit that will eventually spread throughout the world? Do folks in the US have any idea what "direct democracy" is?
Watched Stone's movie last night and I do hope that he receives asylum in Iceland. Where else can whistle blowers go if they will not be given a fair trial?
It is great to see someone in the f–ked up world taking a stand and putting the real thugs away. Wish them much success!
Exciting example! Can we start by arresting and prosecuting the corporate heads responsible for massive poisoning of air, water and soil? Call them crimes against nature and not settle for more fines of corporate treasuries. Look up "citizen's arrest" to see if applicable.
Do folks in the US have any idea what "direct democracy" is?
Lets say that the masses fully realize that they're completely missing out on this, and feel powerless to effect positive change.
The NeoCons and the Deep State on the other hand earn their crust by ensuring that under the present system real democracy must be forever be denied to the masses, any method will do.
Real Democracy requires a new economic system that is not based on satisfying the ever increasing greed of Wall Street.

Today's top talent is pickier than ever. Social media and sites like Glassdoor have empowered them to expect transparency from employers. They want to hear from your actual employees, and get their perspective on what it's like to work there.
The power of your employees' voices cannot be overstated: according to research conducted by Nielsen, 92% of consumers trust "earned media," such as recommendations from family and friends, above any other form of advertising. Online consumer reviews are second most trusted. Now, consider the fact that your employees have, on average, 10 times the social following your company has.
The message is clear: getting your employees to advocate for you on social media should be a top priority. This type of participation is known as employee advocacy. It can transform how you recruit and help you create a more authentic, transparent employer brand.
Start Small. It might feel overwhelming to start something new like this. But keep in mind that your employees are already talking about you online! In fact, as many as 50% have posted messages, pictures, or videos of you on social media. Scan your social media accounts and find who is active - these folks can be your "pilot" advocates. Even a dozen such employees are enough to get started. Reach out to them. Let them know you'd like to work with them in a structured manner to get the word out about what it's like to work at your company. Perhaps you can even offer them some incentives to get them to participate.
Make it Easy. While your advocates are excited to work with you, they're also busy. According to Vasilios Alexiou of FirmPlay, a startup specializing in employee advocacy software for recruiting: "Employee advocates start off with the best of intentions. But if it isn't dead simple for them to participate and talk about you on social media, they'll quickly tune out." Translation: make it as easy as possible for your advocates to engage with and share the content you're trying to promote. Instead of copy-pasting social media posts into emails and sending them out to your advocates, consider bringing on some employee advocacy software that's out there to streamline the process for you and your advocates. FirmPlay is one. So is QueSocial. Make the sharing process easy.
Content Matters. Resist the temptation to focus your social media efforts on just your job postings. They don't differentiate you from other companies, nor do they excite talent. Besides, your advocates won't want to spam their personal networks with postings. Concentrate on stories that your advocates would be excited to reshare. Think about photos that showcase unique events at your office, a short video taken on a smartphone of an employee discussing what project she's currently working on, and industry news that can position your advocates as subject matter experts. In general, you'll want to vary the type of content you ask your advocates to share - and make sure it isn't too much in volume.
Learn & Improve. How will you know if you're engaging your advocates in the right way? With data! Of course, there are numerous metrics you could track. But the heart and soul of your program is whether your advocates remain engaged, and how your content performs on social media. Learn what's working (and what isn't) and adjust accordingly.
So go ahead and give employee advocacy a try. With a few engaged employees and a little bit of hustle, you can dramatically increase the reach of your employer brand and speak to top talent in a way that excites them. Simply put, you'll take your recruiting game to the next level.


In conjunction with this week's December 2018 issue of Shueisha's V-Jump magazine, Bandai Namco has announced Super Dragon Ball Heroes: World Mission for the Nintendo Switch. An official website for the game has also opened at sdbh.bn-ent.net. No release date or pricing, beyond 2019 in general, has been announced for Super Dragon Ball Heroes: World Mission.
As with the updated Super Dragon Ball Heroes arcade game, players compete in up to 7-on-7 card team battles. The game system combines the upper and lower screens for a unified game experience. Touch points appear on-screen to allow certain game actions (such as gathering energy); in the arcade and previous Nintendo 3DS versions, these would normally happen on the lower touch screen.
World Mission is set to cover the original eight missions from the initial Super Dragon Ball Heroes update, along with the first two "Universe Mission" updates; the arcade game will see its "Universe Mission 5" update next month. The game will include over 1,160 cards featuring more than 350 characters.
The game's story takes place in a world where the super warriors who were active in the past are now treated as great figures; a card game developed with Capsule Corporation's technology based on those legendary warriors is now in vogue, which the people called "Super Dragon Ball Heroes". In "Hero Town" where this game is trendy, Beat (the player character) is a boy visiting for the first time, and stands transfixed by a monitor on the street displaying a game tournament.
Beat was originally developed and named in Toyotarō's Dragon Ball Heroes: Victory Mission series, which ran in Shueisha's V-Jump magazine from 2012-2015.
Dragon Ball Heroes' most recent home/portable entry was Dragon Ball Heroes: Ultimate Mission X on the Nintendo 3DS in April 2017; the game covered 3,300 cards from the arcade version's original 8 missions, 10 "Galaxy Missions", 8 "Evil Dragon Missions", and 10 "God Missions", effectively encompassing all content pre-Super Dragon Ball Heroes in its own original story mode in addition to the arcade version's mission structure.
Outside of a single test run at San Diego Comic Con earlier this year, no Dragon Ball Heroes content has ever received an international/localized release outside of Japan.

Sculpt a bust of Steve.
PRINT OUT
Recently while working on a project in Hartford, CT I took a taxi and met Steve the taxi driver. I was headed to Real Art Ways the art center where I'm doing the project. Steve asked me where I was going and then concluded that I must be an artist. He told me that I should sculpt a bust of him. He gave me a picture of himself and told me he wanted it done that day, and then we would "party" that night. I said that I might have trouble getting it done so quickly, and then asked him how he would feel about various other people doing the bust instead of me. He said that would be fine.
The next time I went back to Hartford about a month later I took a train from NYC and missed my stop in Hartford. I got off at the next stop in a little town outside of Hartford. It was late at night and there was no one at the station. I called a local taxi company and they told me it would be about an hour before someone could pick me up. I sat down and read a book and waited. Eventually a cab pulled up and the driver got out to help me with my bags. It was Steve. He immediately recognized me and asked me about the project. I was amazed. It wasn't even his taxi company that I had called. He drove me to the place I was staying at in Hartford and along the way he told me about being a single parent. He told me that his philosophy on child rearing is to only love the child, never discipline them. He said his children were all perfect. I thought that was really nice.
So for this assignment print out a copy of Steve's picture and sculpt a bust of him. Make it roughly life size out of papier-mache or some equivalently cheap material. Sculpt and paint it as accurately as you can. I suspect that Steve will like realism best.
Take a picture of your bust.

South Korean Defense Minister to Mattis: Defending against NK artillery is 'infeasible'
by Alex Hollings Oct 29, 2017
American Secretary of Defense James Mattis toured the DMZ separating the U.S. allied South Korea from their aggressive neighbors to the North on Friday. The defense official's arrival was intended as a sign of America's unwavering support of the South Korean people, but also offered some reminders as to the scale of the threat Kim's hermit-nation poses.
Primary among the concerns levied by South Korean defense officials was North Korea's many artillery emplacements in the mountains North of the DMZ. These long-range weapons platforms have South Korea's capital city, as well as its 20 million inhabitants, well within their range, and after decades worth of development and fortification, eliminating them would prove extremely difficult, if possible at all.
"Defending against this many LRAs (long-range artillery) is infeasible in my opinion," South Korean Defense Minister Song Young-moo admitted to Mattis during his tour. He went on to suggest the need for strategies to "offensively neutralize" that "the moment the war starts."
Artillery hidden throughout the mountains would be difficult to locate and identify with satellites or aircraft, as the North Koreans have been preparing for a potential rekindling of conflict with their sister-state since the Korean war ended with an armistice, rather than a peace treaty. The sheer number of possible assets, as well as the simplistic nature of many of the artillery tubes pose a serious challenge to defense strategists working to find a way to counter the threat they pose to the South Korean capital.
Although President Trump and his administration have made it clear that they believe they have military options that would assure victory, the looming threat of Kim's artillery, coupled with a massive stockpile of biological and chemical weapons make defending South Korea a forced priority in whatever those strategies may be.
"Our goal is not war," Mr. Mattis said, "but rather the complete, verifiable and irreversible denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula."
Despite making it clear that the U.S. would prefer a diplomatic end to the rising tensions with North Korea, he didn't mince words regarding the nation, calling it an "oppressive regime that shackles its people, denying their freedom, their welfare and their human dignity."
President Donald Trump is expected to take his own tour of South Korea next month. It is not yet clear as to whether or not Mr. Trump plans to tour the demilitarized zone, but his scheduled visit in Seoul will take him to within a ten-minute helicopter flight of the area.
Next month will also see a visit from some other prominent American figures near the Korean peninsula, in the form of three Nimitz class super carrier strike groups. Each carrier possesses more firepower than many nations can boast of their entire military, and the drills conducted by the American fleet will undoubtedly be seen as not only a massive show of force directed at Kim's regime, but perhaps as a warning about just how much hardware can be brought to bear if a conflict were to ignite.
"We're doing everything we can to solve this diplomatically, everything we can," Mr. Mattis said. "But ultimately our diplomats have to be backed up by strong soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines. So they speak from a position of strength."

Mumbai-headquartered Marksans Pharma Ltd has acquired Time-Cap Laboratories Inc, New York, according to a stock market disclosure. The deal amount remained undisclosed.
Founded in 1979, Time-Cap manufactures solid dose generic pharmaceuticals like private label over-the-counter (OTC) medications, generic prescription drugs and nutritional supplements. The company has a facility in Farmingdale, New York, from where it manufactures 50 unique products including tablets, capsules and pellets.
Its average annual revenue was $30 million per annum over the last four years and had average annual adjusted EBITDA of $4 million in the same period. Marksans said the acquisition would be EPS accretive.
"This strategic acquisition helps Marksans expand its manufacturing capabilities along with product portfolio and penetration into the US," said Mark Saldanha, managing director and CEO of Marksans.
Marksans is engaged in R&D and offers contract research and manufacturing services (CRAMS) to global pharmaceutical companies. It focuses on OTC and prescription drugs across oncology, gastroenterology, antidiabetic, antibiotics, cardiovascular, pain management, gynaecology, etc.
Marksans' revenue rose over 26 per cent to Rs 800 crore and its net profit shot up over 51 per cent to Rs 109 crore in the year ended March 31, 2015.
Shares of Marksans were trading at Rs 67.70 each, up 6.28 per cent on BSE in a strong Mumbai market on Wednesday at 12.54 PM.


I created a jig for assembling the fuel tank using the templates included with the plans. After transferring the profiles to a sheet of 1/2″ MDF, I cut the shape by hand with a rotozip-style tool, then filed and sanded as needed to smooth it out.
Next I followed the plan instructions which say to cleco the left side ribs, stringer and skin together before attempting to seal them. Parts mostly went together ok – there are one or two holes I'll have to modify.
Since it was a nice day, I hopped on my bike and took a ride over to the little airport in town – Brookline NH (NH16).
It's one possible option for a place to keep my plane when it's complete. NH16 is a cute little private airfield, with some homes and hangars directly off the runway. The runway is pretty short though, just under 2000′ long, with tall pines at one end… I'll have to take a look at performance numbers for the Sling 4, especially the 50′ obstacle clearance run!
I ordered the little close quarters wedge from Cleaveland Aircraft Tools last weekend, but I'm still waiting for it to arrive. Meanwhile, I thought I'd try making a temporary one out of plastic. Pretty quick work to design the part in Fusion 360 and then send it to my 3D printer.
Looks great, and I bet it's even pretty darn close to the dimensions of the metal one!
… but it didn't work so well, it was easily crushed by the force of the rivet puller.
I managed to get most of the tough-to-reach rivets anyway without this aid. My manual rivet puller has an adjustable head, so I was able to get into the tight spaces.
Busy day doing various tasks on the left wing. First, I ran the pitot & AoA lines and built the little standoffs per the manual.
Since it was nice outside, I built a little fixture so that I could prime the inside of the wing skins. I used mostly reclaimed wood from the shipping containers that my kit arrived in.
Next up was wiring. The kit includes quite a few wires already: 6-conductor cable for wing-tip lights, plus 3x individual 16AWG wires for the landing and taxi lights. To this I'm adding 2x 14AWG wires for pitot heat and a 22AWG discrete line for the pitot heat regulator.
I put these wires all into expando sheathing to protect the wires and keep things neat and organized. Only problem however was that this cable harness was now larger (in diameter) than I could fit in the pre-drilled holes in ribs 12-16, so I had to enlarge the holes and put in bigger grommets. Because these ribs are so closely spaced together, I had to take them out partially, but it wasn't too bad since they were only held in with a few clecos.
For my last task of the day, I started attaching the bottom wing skins with clecos for a test fit. Assuming everything fits ok with all skins on, then I get to take all of the skins off again and rivet the ribs to the spars… That's a lot of clecos to install and remove!
Wing skin #1… So far it's ok, but it looks like some holes are not lining up right. May have to using chucking reamer to open up a few.
I'm buying a second rivet gun – as I mentioned in my earlier post, it's pretty common for assemblies to use both 3.2mm and 4.0mm rivets. Changing the bit on the rivet gun is a little annoying (even if it doesn't take too long) – it's about the same effort as having to un-chuck and then re-chuck a drill bit into a keyed-chuck drill. It looks like the wings use both rivet sizes, and there's a lot of them, so I think I'll be thanking myself for this little time-saver down the road.
While I was putting this 2nd drill into my shopping cart at Acme Tool, I was pleasantly surprised to learn that Milwaukee came up with a very useful accessory to go with this rivet gun – a 6 in extension for getting into tight spaces. Of course, I'm getting it – I've seen plenty of pictures from the fuselage build where I think this will come in handy.
Just in time for my kits arriving tomorrow, I received my Milwaukee M12 rivet gun today! It's quite substantial, more so than I was expecting. It just came out this past weekend so I must be one of the first people in the whole country to own one. I'll test it out tomorrow as I await the delivery from XPO.
This past weekend, I also hung some wire shelves on the wall as a place to store all the loose parts until ready to be assembled. Looks good, and can be expanded as needed.
I think I'm ready now to begin – I've got all my tools (I think), finished building the workbenches, the work area is clean, well-lit and heated, and I've got a smart speaker for tunes!
My haul of clecos, drill bits and various other things arrived from Brown Aviation Tools today! Big, heavy box!
I've been ordering a bunch of stuff I'll need to start construction, thought I'd post a picture of the very first things that came in!

Have you ever miscalculated your dog's behavior? Surely, it's not uncommon to incorrectly anticipate reactions to certain environments, but it's less fun to experience this in public. Before venturing out, it's crucial to prepare your dog for various encounters; there are few places as important in this area as the dog park. Following certain key dog park basics can save the day and keep you both coming back for more fun and games.

Alarming new images: Business continues in live animal markets – News
In 2021 – more than a year after the start of the COVID-19 outbreak – PETA Asia researchers visited live animal markets in China, Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand, the Philippines, Laos and Sri Lanka. Customers can buy live and dead animals at these markets.
New images from PETA Asia show chickens, bats, monkeys, civet cats and other animals, dead or alive, for sale for food or for use in traditional medicine, entertainment or other forms. Carcasses are displayed on blood-stained counters, and both live animals and raw meat are handled without gloves. These markets are cesspools of dirt.
The world has changed, but not the live animal markets
The conditions were nearly identical to those documented in PETA Asia's two previous surveys of these markets. Sick and anxious animals of uncertain origin were crammed into stressful environments. Chickens, friendly animals that enjoy social contact, didn't even have room to spread their wings, and larger animals like a monkey and caracal cat, species that move around a lot in the wild, barely had room to turn around. Some cages had feces embedded in the bottom, and stacking them made it easier for disease to spread. Squirrels, civets, bats, birds and dead rats were sold in open-air markets with no apparent hygiene protocols.
An investigator was told that customers could buy the meat of bats and monkeys for supposedly medicinal purposes.
The risks are real
Most scientists are convinced that the coronavirus originated in a live animal market in China, where animals of a wide variety of species are sold alongside dead animals and their products.
Although the World Health Organization (WHO) is investigating live rabbits, bats, civets and ferrets as carriers of the virus that causes COVID-19, all are still proposed for sale. Deadly outbreaks of mad cow disease, avian flu, swine flu, SARS, HIV and more have been caused by the capture of wild animals or raising them for food.
The horrors must stop
Just as we don't want to be infected by the coronavirus or die from COVID-19, other animals don't want to suffer or be killed for food. Most of us don't like being confined to our homes, but billions of animals exploited for food spend their entire lives in cramped, cramped and dirty spaces, unable to turn around or stand and in pain. they live among their own waste. The only way out is to slit their throats and dismember their bodies, often while they are still conscious.
All live animal markets must disappear, including those operating here in France. PETA is asking the WHO to take the most fundamental step and close these markets. PETA Asia has written to health authorities across Asia demanding the closure of these disgusting live animal markets.
Join the more than 200,000 people who have already joined PETA and its affiliates in calling on the WHO to demand the closure of live animal markets worldwide.
Do your part now to help prevent the next global pandemic by eliminating meat, eggs and dairy. The only truly sustainable and ethical lifestyle is vegan.

Tehran Symphony Orchestra to perform "The Fateful Day"
TEHRAN – The Tehran Symphony Orchestra will be performing "The Fateful Day" film score composed by Iranian maestro Majid Entezami at the National Library and Archives of Iran (NLAI) in Tehran on October 21.
Entezami himself will conduct the concert, which is part of the program "Forty Days of Love" organized by NLAI to honor 40 Iranian artists who have created outstanding works about the tragedy of Ashura over the past century.
"The Fateful Day" was directed by Shahram Asadi in 1995 based on a play written by Bahram Beizai.
The film is the story of a Christian man who converts to Islam for the love of a Muslim girl. At the wedding, he hears voices calling for help. He leaves the ceremony and takes a journey to Karbala. But he arrives at the end of the Battle of Karbala after the martyrdom of Imam Hussein (AS) and his companions.
Beizai and master of Persian miniature Mahmud Farshchian are among the artists who will be honored in the program "Forty Days of Love".
Farshchian has created several paintings including "The Evening of Ashura", "Ali-Asghar (AS)" and "The Standard-Bearer of Truth" about the tragedy of Ashura.
Ashura is the 10th day of Muharram, the day upon which Imam Hussein (AS) and his companions were martyred in Karbala as a result of their valiant stand against the injustices of the oppressive Umayyad dynasty in 680 CE.

Q: Spring Integration Sftp Streaming Inbound Channel Adapter processing same file multiple times I am  using spring integration sftp inbound streaming channel adapter which polls every few seconds. The inbound adapter is picking the same file for processing multiple times. Below is the configuration.
<int-sftp:inbound-streaming-channel-adapter id="ftpInbound"
        channel="ftpChannel"
        session-factory="sessionFactory"
        filter="filter"
        remote-file-separator="/"
        remote-directory="/sampleFolder" auto-startup="true">
    <int:poller fixed-rate="30000" max-messages-per-poll="1" />
</int-sftp:inbound-streaming-channel-adapter>

<int:stream-transformer id="withCharset" charset="UTF-8"
input-channel="ftpChannel" output-channel="outputChannel"/>

<bean id="filter"
class="org.springframework.integration.file.filters.CompositeFileListFilter">
<constructor-arg>
    <list>
        <bean
            class="sample.CustomFilter">

</bean>
         <bean
class="org.springframework.integration.file.filters.
AcceptOnceFileListFilter"/>
    </list>
</constructor-arg>

sample.CustomFilter in the above code is a subclass of  SftpRegexPatternFileListFilter where I had the accept method modified as below to accept only the file having current date in its name as per the solution present in Spring SFTP varying filename-regex
public boolean accept(ChannelSftp.LsEntry file){
setPattern(new java.text.SimpleFormat("yyyyMMDD").format(new
java.util.Date())+".txt$"
super.accept(file);
}

The issue being faced is the same file being processed multiple files. the file is being retained in the same remote directory after processing.  Is there some issue with my filter configuration Can someone help me on this.

A: The AcceptOnceFileListFilter is based on the object hash, meanwhile the SftpStreamingMessageSource produces an LsEntry where each new objected created, even  with the same file name has its own new hash.
What you need to make it working is with the SftpPersistentAcceptOnceFileListFilter which already does what you would like to achieve.
In addition I would suggest to use a ChainFileListFilter instead of the CompositeFileListFilter. This way the file won't reach that SftpPersistentAcceptOnceFileListFilter if it doesn't pass a CustomFilter. Therefore no extra memory consumption for files we are not interested in at all.

Marvel's version of Thor, the Norse God of Thunder, has always been something of an outlying character when it comes to mainstream comic book audiences, but he's definitely an A-lister these days, thanks to his solo Marvel Studios releases - and his dashing portrayal by Chris Hemsworth. He'll be seen onscreen again in The Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015).
Thor was originally introduced in Journey into Mystery #83 in 1962, with an origin story which followed disabled medical student Donald Blake as he discovered Mjolnir in a cave and was able to wield the power of Thor. Later, it was revealed that Odin had placed his son on Earth without his memories in order to teach him humility. Certain aspects of this were used in director Kenneth Branagh's 2011 Thor.
This basic incarnation of the Thunder God is the one fans know from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but there have been several other Thors over the years. Thor's longtime love interest Jane Foster actually took up the hammer in the late 197os (in an alternate-universe What If? issue); a member of an alien race named Beta Ray Bill was found to be worthy to wield Mjolnir; there was the frog version of Thor (called 'Throg,' he wielded the mighty 'Frogjolnir'); and in a crossover event, Wonder Woman was able to use the hammer as well.
The news of this next Thor first broke not long after Marvel announced that a new Captain America will take over for Steve Rogers in the comic books, and coincides with the recent 'Death of Wolverine' arc.
The new Thor is another way to not only address the lack of diversity in both comic books and the movies based on them, but to orient fans to expect some big changes in the film universe as well, since after Captain America 3, Thor 3 and The Avengers 3, Chris Evans and Chris Hemsworth's current movie contracts will have been fulfilled.
Thor #1 debuts this October.


Food often plays an important role in triggering migraine attacks. Many different foods may precipitate an attack.
Monosodium glutamate is a flavor enhancer used in most processed foods that have a strong salt or meaty flavor. This includes most soups, processed meats, many snack-chips and salt substitutes. If you have eaten any of these foods and get a headache, MSG may be the cause.
aged meats, avocados, bananas, beer, cabbage, canned fish, dairy products, eggplant, hard cheeses, potatoes, raspberries, red plums, tomatoes, wine, and yeast.
Avoiding any food trigger is often essential to reducing or eliminating migraine headaches. However, many people find that once the root causes of imbalance are corrected (i.e., neurotransmitter imbalances), not only do their migraines disappear, but they can also begin to eat moderate portions of foods that once triggered migraine attacks.
This occurs because all of the foods listed above can cause a depletion in serotonin, a key neurotransmitter in the brain. However, there are a number of other foods, and many medications, that can deplete neurotransmitters; for a complete list of foods and drugs that deplete neurotransmitters, click here.
Just as certain foods can disrupt proper neurotransmitter function and create imbalance, certain foods can help provide the body the specific amino acids, vitamins, minerals and other cofactors necessary to make optimal amounts of neurotransmitters. Since neurotransmitters are a key component in eliminating migraines, eating foods that promote neurotransmitter synthesis will be important to maintaining overall neurotransmitter balance.
Eating these foods and avoiding those that can cause depletion can be a great way to maintain proper neurotransmitter levels. However, most times if a neurotransmitter imbalance is present, eating the proper foods will not be enough to offset the imbalance. Luckily, there are several botanicals and supplements that can be used to re-balance neurotransmitter levels and aid in your healing process.
One of the most important things you can do to manage migraine triggers is to eat regularly throughout the day and make sure each of these meals contains a bit of protein. Most people find that eating 4-5 meals daily spaced 2-4 hours apart works well to maintain their blood sugar levels and keep headaches at bay.
Learn more about general dietary guidelines for migraine sufferers.
Buying organic whenever you can will further reduce your pesticide exposure; buying the foods listed on the Dirty Dozen organically is a great start. Buying organic can cost more, but there are many ways you can buy organic on a budget.

Salman Khan To Own A Team In Indian Premier League (IPL) ?
Feb 13, 2014 648 Viewed Alka Anand Singh Comments Off on Salman Khan To Own A Team In Indian Premier League (IPL) ?
Birthday wishes for Salman Khan, the 'biggest boss'
There is an interesting news for all die-hard fans of Salman Khan and cricket put together! Confused? Don't be!!! Salman has offlate been doing a lot of research regarding the Indian Premier League (IPL) and is reportedly trying to figure out whether he too can have a stake in it.
According to sources, Salman Khan discussed a lot about IPL with Ness Wadia when he had come down to flag off the Little Hearts Marathon in Mumbai. He even spoke about IPL to his friends and is apparently very interested in it. The actor is quite likely to take up a stake in an Indian Premier League team since he loves cricket and follows IPL quite closely.
Salman Khan is good friends with Preity Zinta and Ness Wadia who jointly own the IPL team, Kings XI Punjab. Salman Khan has shown interest in owing IPL even before and this time, it seems like Sallu bhai might just go ahead to take a stake in the much-talked about IPL. An onlooker told a website that though there is no clear indication that he will pick up a stake in an IPL team, Salman's interest in the IPL has increased over the years.

This week marks the halfway point of my internship, and it was orientation week for the new group of IFR students. We reached record-breaking temperatures this week. I am glad for the beautiful weather but I only wish I had more water to drink!
On Tuesday, we listened to a lecture and took a historical tour of Wexford town, both led by Emmett Stafford, a local archaeologist. The tour of the town was beautiful, and we were able to see what remained of the original wall of medieval Wexford. He also took us to St. Patrick's Church, Selskar Abbey, and St. John's Graveyard. In the graveyard, he asked us to locate the remains of a medieval church, and we found a coffin, which was standing upright. It was made of stone and had three holes in the bottom, which according to Emmett, were used as a drainage system for after the bodies decayed and returned to the earth. After the tour of Wexford town, we went to Rathmacknee Castle for a tour.
Emmett also taught us about the process of repairing medieval walls. One must wait until winter to scan the wall to see it clearly without all the vines and shrubbery. The next step is to remove the plants without damaging the wall. This must be done carefully because if the mortar loosens, the wall becomes weakened.
The next day as the students headed off to Hook Lighthouse with intern Aisling, the rest of the interns and staff stayed on site and began weeding the ferns that were growing back within the cuttings. We also did our best to weed around the tree stumps, as we cannot remove them, at risk of damaging the walls and structures within the cuttings and removing any potential evidence.
For the remainder of the week, I assisted Ryan, who continued his LiDAR scanning, both on site and across the road, in the hopes of scanning the "Lost Town of Carrick". I sketched an image of the site from across the bridge, as well as an image of what we believe the town looked like.
Next week I will be digitizing the plans of Cuttings 1 and 2 - I can't wait to get started!

Sidney Bruhl is a playwright of thrillers who has not had a hit in years. He receives a script in the post from Clifford Anderson, a student at one of his workshops, that has great commercial potential. Sidney tells his wife Myra that he is jealous and might just invite Clifford over to murder him and publish the script as his own. Clifford duly arrives, is apparently strangled by Sidney, much to Myra's consternation, and Sidney buries him in the garden. Later, Clifford, bloodied but not dead, bursts through the french windows and apparently batters Sidney to death. Myra is so shocked, she has a heart attack and dies. But Sidney is not dead – it has all been a plot between Sidney and Clifford to kill Myra. But suspicion and jealousy poison Sidney and Clifford's professional relationship, and twist follows twist, ending in each killing the other in a bloody climax.
An extra layer is added to the play by Ira Levin, in that the play refers to itself as a play within a play. 'Deathtrap' is not only the title of the play we see, but of the script that Clifford originally sent Sidney, and again which Clifford starts to write after Myra's death. These plays within plays follow the plot of the main play that we, the audience, are watching.
This is a show whose script does much of the heavy lifting, but the cast certainly added to the play's success on the evening I went to see it. Aram Gregory played Sidney Bruhl with a laconic drawl, relishing each joking, murderous reference to his wife Myra (Joanna McKerlie) for the chilling effect it had on her. Here was a man who never broke into a sweat, who had it all covered. Except he didn't, meeting his match in Clifford Anderson (Richard J Hartley convincing as student writer in awe of his hero Bruhl). Hartley was also heckled (in good humour) by friends of his in the audience, which could have demolished that fourth wall. Hartley and Gregory, however, carried on without cracking so much as a smile. Well done, chaps.
Candida Richards had a peach of a cameo role as Helga Ten Dorp, the Dutch psychic who lives next door, and who has an inconvenient habit of predicting murders and other crimes in the vicinity, and feels called to come and warn Sidney about them. Candida played it up nicely, while resisting the temptation to milk it.
Joanna McKerlie as Sidney's wife Myra is given a character to play who is mainly reactive and mainly uncomfortable with most of what is unfolding. She is a follower, not a leader. Joanna resisted the easy option of stock reactions and played each new development and provocative remark by Sidney in a fresh way. Her character certainly gave no justification for Sidney's bumping her off, other than an assumption that they had 'irreconcilable differences'.
Finally, Ralph Wears appeared as Sidney's lawyer Porter Milgrim. Cool and laid back, Ralph played Porter as a professional who has developed an almost friendship with his client, and who is happy to tell it like it is, knowing all the while that he's charging by the quarter hour! Porter is the stiff in the suit, who doesn't fit into Bruhl's literary world, but actually quite enjoys dipping his toe in, before retreating to his urban legal world.
Ben Curran and his helpers built a great set – one of those groovy apartments seen in American sitcoms of the 1970s – with an impressive array of weapons ancient and modern mounted on the walls. On such furniture-filled sets there are limited options in terms of movement by the actors, but director Julie Downing made the most of what she had. In any case, this was a dialogue heavy piece where the audience's attention was on following the lines of the actors to pick apart the clues, so a more sedentary style was appropriate.
One unusual feature was the curtain call in which backstage crew and director took their bows as well. A nice touch.
Wychwood Players have given us an assured production of a play that is something of a crowd pleaser. That doesn't mean that success is guaranteed. There are long, long speeches here that test the mettle of an actor in maintaining that narrative drive and emotional freshness through each scene. Julie Downing's band of players did not disappoint.
