Study proves safety and effectiveness of novel radionuclide therapy for neuroendocrine neoplasms
Reviewed by Emily Henderson, B.Sc.Nov 23 2021
A new type of peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) has been shown to control disease in 85 percent of patients with metastatic neuroendocrine neoplasms, achieving complete remission in some patients. The first-in-human study utilized 177Lu-DOTA-LM3 therapy, which was administered without severe adverse effects and was well tolerated by the majority of patients. This research was published in the November issue of The Journal of Nuclear Medicine.
Neuroendocrine neoplasms are tumors that arise from diffuse neuroendocrine system cells. They are most commonly found in the gastrointestinal tract, pancreas and lungs. Neuroendocrine neoplasms are fairly rare diseases, but their incidence and prevalence have increased substantially in recent decades. The majority of neuroendocrine tumors overexpress somatostatin receptors (SSTRs), which are targeted for imaging and treatment.
Over the past two decades, SSTR-targeted imaging using radiolabeled somatostatin agonists followed by PRRT has been remarkably successful in managing neuroendocrine tumors. However, potent SSTR antagonists-;which only poorly internalize into tumor cells if at all-;have surprisingly been shown to be even superior to agonists for such purposes."
Jingjing Zhang, MD, PhD, Assistant Professor, Department of Diagnostic Radiology at the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore in Singapore
To further investigate the role antagonists can play in treating neuroendocrine tumors researchers developed a study to determine the safety, biodistribution and efficiency of a new type of SSTR antagonist, 177Lu-DOTA-LM3. Fifty-one patients with progressive, heavily pretreated neuroendocrine neoplasms underwent PRRT with 177Lu-DOTA-LM3. Treatment-related adverse events were graded for all participants, and dosimetry was performed for 11 patients.

177Lu-DOTA-LM3 was administered without severe adverse effects and was well tolerated by most patients. Disease control was reached in 40 out of 47 patients (85 percent) who were monitored after 177Lu-DOTA-LM3 therapy. Two patients achieved complete remission by the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer criteria.
Of note, the uptake and dosimetry of the antagonist 177Lu-DOTA-LM3 were compared with those of the commonly used SSTR agonist 177Lu-DOTATOC in patients undergoing treatment on the same dosimetry protocol. 177Lu-DOTA-LM3 demonstrated higher uptake and a longer effective half-life in tumor lesions, resulting in higher tumor radiation doses than for agonist 177Lu-DOTATOC.
"These encouraging findings demonstrate the feasibility and superiority of SSTR antagonist 177Lu-DOTA-LM3 as compared to SSTR agonists. Furthermore, antagonist PRRT can be performed under concurrent treatment with somatostatin analogues without the need for interrupting these medications. This is especially important for patients suffering from carcinoid syndrome or even carcinoid crisis," stated Richard P. Baum, MD, PhD, president of the academy at the International Centers for Precision Oncology (ICPO) and consultant for the Center for Advanced Radiomolecular Precision Oncology, CURANOSTICUM Wiesbaden-Frankfurt, both in Germany. "The results are very encouraging for theranostic applications of SSTR antagonists to further improve outcomes in patients with neuroendocrine neoplasms in the future."
This study was made available online in March 2021.

NFA regulates only the brokers in U.S.A so the new net capital requirement is only for US brokers.

[font=Times New Roman][size=3]The CFTC has just released their latest net capital figures. The big news is that everyone is doing well. Firms are seeing big jumps in net capital as forex brokers appear to be raking in the cash in this volatile market. It doesn't appear that anyone has had difficulty clearing the $10 million hurdle judging by the fact the NFA has not closed down anyone since Halloween (although AMIFX continues to report way below the $10 million requirement although keep in mind CFTC reports lag a full month behind the current date.)...

No problem for them whatsoever.
When fine well operated American brokers are forced to close shop because of arbitrary ham-handed over-regulation, some of their former clients will be looking to overseas brokers to open new accounts. The brokers you mentioned are probably gleefully rubbing their hands in anticipation.

Nothing at all. NFA membership is not required for them.
If the new NFA regulations affect them negatively, I imagine they will just close their US based offices and continue as if nothing happened in the rest of the world wherever they operate.

Last month the S.S. Saxo Bank forced hundreds of employees to walk the plank in a furious effort to keep their Danish Longship from taking on any more water amidst the financial tsunami that has engulfed CFD brokers around the world. But it is another former shipmate of Saxo that has now taken to his Somalia-like pirate ship to fire pot shots at this listing to port Viking Broker. Ahoy it's Charles-Henri Sabet! With parrot perched on shoulder and a black eye patch in place Sabet has Saxo in his sights…
According to Euromoney Magazine in an article titled "Charles Henri Sabet Bites Back in Saxo Saga" Sabet says that he was exiled to Davey Jones locker because of a shareholder dispute, not because of an SFBC investigation of alleged insider trading.
http://www.euromoney.com/Article/2039037/ChannelPage/0/AssetCategory/16/Charles-Henri-Sabet-bites-back-in-Saxo-saga.html
"This is really about an argument between shareholders," says Sabet. "I still own around 5% of Saxo and I was not happy with what I saw as the bank's domestic focus. I offered to leave, but I wanted Saxo to buy my shares as was agreed when it took over Synthesis," he adds. Sabet says that Saxo is now focused on becoming a well-known name in Denmark, including giving backing to the small, centrist Liberal Alliance political party.
So how did this investigation come about? Euromoney states:
Saxo has declined to comment on whether or not the investigation came about because it informed the regulator of an irregularity, rather than the SFBC acting because it suspected suspicious activity. But a letter from the commission makes it clear it was informed by Saxo of the issue.
So instead of paying Sabet his share of Saxo's booty the scallywags in Denmark simply ratted him out to regulators? Shiver me timbers that's a low thing to do to a mate. But Sabet wasn't the only one sent to the brig.
Sabet says he is also particularly upset that his dismissal was followed by a purge of his former employees, including his chauffeur. He believes that he will be fully exonerated when the SFBC reports its findings. In the meantime he is preparing to take legal action to clear his name and to complete the deal that was agreed when he sold Synthesis Bank to Saxo in September 2007; this included the verbal agreement to purchase his remaining shares in the bank.
Yarrrgh matey, Saxo ain't likely to depart from its treasure anytime soon. This Sabet fellow could be waiting a long time before he sees one gold doubloon from the cash strapped folks in Denmark. I reckon Sabet would have a better chance demanding ransoms from oil tanker owning Saudi princes than from a forex and cfd broker that had been spending money like a drunken sailor on shore leave prior to the financial panic.
Arrgh, Sabet best crack open a bottle of Rum and batten down the hatches cause Saxo will fight him to the last cannon ball over that 5% share. To be continued I'm sure.

The forex market has long been known as the Wild West of Finance due to its unregulated nature. But the frontier is being tamed and it now appears the day of the unregulated Introducing Broker is drawing to a close. While the CFTC has not yet released its new Forex Dealer rules to the public the NFA just issued a preliminary set of guidelines for all introducing brokers who are now required by law to be licensed: http://www.nfa.futures.org/compliance/forex_registration_overview.asp
Among the rules, IBs must maintain net capital of $45,000. Aside from other requirements like proficiency exams and disclosure documents the NFA is doing background checks which require finger printing:
NFA requires all individual applicants to submit fingerprint cards, which are sent to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to determine if the applicant has a criminal record.
This should help drive some of the industry's worst cattle rustlers out of the market and into a new line of work, like holding up banks instead...
It remains to be seen just how onerous the new rules from the CFTC will be but with the NFA releasing this guide now the CFTC shouldn't be too far behind.

How do you think this will affect out of country IBs? In other words, could a US broker still operate with out of country IBs in the same way that they are now?

This only affects US based brokers and US based IBs. The rest of us will just look on while 2 or 3 brokers become an uncompetitive monopoly of the US retail forex market.
I tend to agree with Oakmonster. I don't believe IBs outside the U.S. will be affected. But we'll have to wait and see what these new rules say.
IBs based outside of the US will not be directly affected because the NFA and CFTC only have jurisdictional control over American companies. There are, however, other things they can do to make it difficult for US citizens to deal with offshore brokers. Much remains to be seen.

What can they do? Ban Americans from doing business with other countries?
Heheh. Well, not exactly. It would be relatively easy to impose stricter regulations on non-US brokers in order for them to conduct business in the States. Requiring a physical office and employees on US soil is the first thing that comes to mind. To give a more complete idea of what one might expect, just google "post 9-11 banking regulations".
It's a not-so-brave new world.
So Americans would then be forced to deal ONLY with the 4 or 5 brokers that will be left after all this shakeup. There would be thousands of US traders complaining about the loss of freedom to choose to trade with whom they wished?
I think for many non US brokers, $20million+ (plus the cost to establish in the market) to open a US based office is a bit too much of a gamble.
What is going to stop US based traders from choosing offshore anyway?
Quoting oakmonster
Any number of things.
The NFA/CFTC, with the help of congress, could impose regulations that make it so onerous, so expensive to deal with Americans, non-US brokers will simply stop taking US citizens as clients unless they open very large accounts.
We're just speculating now but if you can imagine it, congress can enact it.
Of course, it's all done in the name of combating narcoterrorpedophilia-muslimgangmoneylaundering-expiredlibrarybooksparkingtickets. Whatever congress decides to do it will be for our own good because they know we're too f*ing stupid to make important decisions with our own money.

Doesn't this just basically mean that all of the self-regulating BS of the NFA was meant to profit the junk firms like FXCM?
Lol! There's a school of thought that strongly advocates this to be the case. At the very least there's probably a grain of truth to it.

As more anti-protectionist towns try to enforce their own gun control through taxation at least one gun shop has avoided the city's gun tax altogether by simply moving out.
The owner of Seattle's Precise Shooter gun store made good on his promise to move out and avoid paying a single dime to the city's new gun tax.
Sergey Solyanik, owner of Precise Shooter on Aurora Avenue, is closing his gun shop and moving it to Lynnwood after a recent court ruling gave Seattle approval to impose a tax on gun sales. Solyanik opposed the tax and has argued it would harm his business.
Solyanik threatened to take his business elsewhere if the city moved forward with the tax. He's now proving it.
Seattle passed a law in 2015 that places a $25 tax for every firearm, and up to 5 cents for each round of ammunition sold within the city. It was opposed by local gun advocates and the NRA, and taken to court. In December, a King County judge sided with the city and the tax was allowed to go into effect at the start of 2016.
The tax money was supposed to be used to stop gun violence, which nowadays has become the term used to mean "enact more gun control measures" and does nothing to make law abiding citizens safer.
The funny thing about this whole situation is that not only will Seattle not make any money from it's gun tax, it will actually be losing money.
Precise Shooter remains open to sell cleaning supplies and other equipment, but will not sell firearms or ammo that are now taxed in Seattle. Solyanik will operate the shop as such until his business license is approved for a new store in Lynnwood.
Good job, Seattle. Not only did you deprive more residents of having an upstanding gun shop to do business with, you just lost more revenue for yourself as well.
The owner of the store summed it up with a very sage thought that I wish our president could understand.
Hope he GAINS business from this unfortunate situation.

This document is part of the SPECS deliverable D3.1, and thus superseded by it.
As such the two main components of the MODAClouds monitoring system are: the data collectors and the data analyzers [D6.3.1]. To these we add another set of components which play a secondary role: an event streaming system and a historical data store. This architecture is also depicted in the figure below.
In what follows we give a short summary of the main components, the data collectors and the data analyzers, which could be of interest to the SPECS project.
Because MODAClouds targets with equal importance both PaaS and IaaS deployments, one of the main challenges is finding a common abstraction that can work both for deployment models. Moreover taking into account that (application) modeling is one of the key elements of the design-time solution, the monitoring component should leverage the design-time information to provide better targeted and fine-grained information (i.e., a white-box approach).
The next figure depicts how a monitoring reading is modeled.
Based on the raw monitoring data, e second set of MODAClouds monitoring components come into play, namely the data analyzers. The scope of these range from simple data aggregation (such as window-based averages), to statistical analyzers or even forecasting analyzers. [D6.2] From an architectural point of view the data collectors and analyzers, together with their upstream clients, form a data pipeline tied together by a continuous RDF querying engine, namely C-SPARQL.

2020 hindsight: Why Panthers are better prepared for success
Brad Walter NRL Senior Reporter
Fri 24 Sep 2021, 05:59 PM
Ivan Cleary believes the big match experience his Penrith players have received since last year's grand final will hold them in good stead for their shot at premiership glory.
Cleary admitted the Panthers may have been weighed down in recent weeks by the expectation that they would beat South Sydney in the opening finals match and then win again last Saturday against Parramatta.
However, that pressure has now lifted as the Storm are raging favourites to end Penrith's season in Saturday's preliminary final at Suncorp Stadium.
Cleary was noticeably more relaxed at Friday's captain's run press conference than he had been before the Rabbitohs and Eels matches.
"Although you don't like to admit it, I think it would be naive to think we were weren't under a little bit of pressure through [our] out-and-out favouritism in both those games," Cleary said.
Storm v Panthers - Preliminary final
"I think that has kind of flipped this week."
After winning 17 consecutive matches before last season's grand final, the Panthers were stunned by a first-half onslaught from Melbourne and trailed 22-0 at the break before losing 26-20.
Only hooker Api Koroisau and departing forwards James Tamou and Zane Tetevano had previously played in a grand final, while halfback Nathan Cleary was Penrith's sole State of Origin representative.
Cleary spruiks To'o's 'energy' factor for young Panthers
However, after the grand final, lock Isaah Yeo and second-rower Kurt Capewell played in the end-of-season Origin series, along with Cleary, while five-eighth Jarome Luai and centre Stephen Crichton were in an extended NSW squad.
Cleary, Yeo, Capewell, Luai, Koroisau, Brian To'o and Liam Martin also played in this season's series and after being undefeated until they went into camp ahead of Origin I, the Panthers lost four of their next 14 matches.
"It does affect your season. Six out of the seven had never done it mid-season before," Cleary said.
"We always knew there was going to be some challenges out of that and I think history will show that even the best teams – the Broncos and Storm – have had years of trying to deal with Origin and the hangover, and all of that kind of stuff.
"However, we also felt from a positive point of view that playing in those games was going to help us the big games so hopefully it comes to the fore tomorrow night.
"I know it is a bit of an old adage that you've got to lose one [grand final] to win one but it is not so much about that … it is actually about learning about the subtle differences in those games.
Storm wounds propel Panthers premiership chase
"We hadn't lost for four months so there is a lot of things that we probably look back on and wish we could have improved on but that is part of life and part of the journey.
"I think all of those little experiences allow you to prepare yourself a little bit better for the times ahead."
That time is now and if the Panthers are to win the premiership they will have done it the hard way after surrendering the opportunity to have last weekend off by losing to Souths and being flipped onto the same side of the draw as Melbourne.
Prop Moses Leota is a late withdrawal with a foot injury and interchange forward Mitch Kenny has been ruled out after being forced from the field against the Eels with a season-ending ankle sprain.
The NRL Telstra Premiership preliminary finals are here!
The fall-out from that incident is still being played out after Cleary announced that Penrith were contesting a $25,000 fine for trainer Pete Green stopping the game with Parramatta on the attack in the 76th minute to assess Kenny.
Green has been provisionally suspended for the rest of the season, while fellow trainer Hayden Knowles was given a warning.
"We feel bad for both of our trainers involved, one of which was named and shamed which I just think is completely unfair," Cleary said of Green.
"We kind of understand how [the NRL] came to that conclusion but at the end of the day, they were just doing their job."

No need to steal a secret family recipe; we've got you covered.
September 14, 2015, 2:37 p.m.
One of the ironies of my grad school experience involved teaching Korean housemates, who possessed zero cooking skills, how to cook rice — with a rice maker no less. As an outsider to Korean culture, I quickly realized two things: that women do most of the cooking and that there are two food items no Korean household can live without, steamed white rice and kimchi. Rice was cheap and easy to prepare and was eaten out of necessity; on the other hand, kimchi was treated with near reverence.
The pungent, highly seasoned fermented cabbage is the Korean equivalent of soul food, reminiscent of the taste of home and a source of family pride. This is the sort of well-guarded secret passed down from mother to daughter with marriage prospects riding on the outcome — meaning not the kind of information Korean moms readily imparted to curious onlookers who were passing through the kitchen on their way to the den.
The Internet has changed all of that cooking-wise. Now you don't have to be female or born into a Korean family to crack the kimchi code. Instructions and guides abound on how to make the pungent dish. If you like spicy, intensely flavored food, then kimchi is for you. Think of it as 5-alarm sauerkraut. This is a vegetarian variation on traditional kimchi that substitutes nori, a saltwater vegetable used to wrap sushi in lieu of fish sauce.
* The amount of water used is dependent on the size of your mixing bowl. A bigger bowl requires more water.
* Korean red pepper flakes, called gochugaru, are found in Asian markets or can be purchased online.
* Many kimchi recipes call for fish sauce, which adds a savory dimension to kimchi known as umami. Dulse or nori, saltwater vegetables made from kelp and seaweed respectively are good substitutes.
Pour cabbage into a strainer and rinse under cool running water. Set strainer aside to allow cabbage to drain, about 20 minutes. Dry mixing bowl and set aside for reuse.
Combine sugar, pepper flakes, nori and sugar in a small mixing bowl. Add 1 tablespoon filtered water and stir contents until a thick paste forms. Combine 2 cups water with 1 tablespoon salt and stir. Set aside.
Meanwhile, rinse and prep daikon, ginger, scallions and garlic. Combine ingredients with cabbage in mixing bowl. Add paste and fold until the cabbage is evenly coated with paste, about 2 minutes.
The pungent, highly seasoned fermented cabbage is the Korean equivalent of soul food. Think of it as 5-alarm sauerkraut. Here's how to make kimchi in no time.

Our trainees appreciate the skilled and challenging nature of their mentors and trainers during their induction year and as a result gain a fuller and more rewarding experience of how to teach young people and lead in the classroom.
Freya Crocker, Geography SCITT Trainee, 2018-19
What attracted to you to a career in teaching?
Before starting the course I was working as a risk analyst at a firm in the City. Teaching was something I had previously considered, and I really liked the idea of engaging with young people in a way that you cannot do if you are working behind a desk all day. I also am really passionate about Geography, and I wanted to inspire others to love it too! After visiting a few schools, I realised that it was something I could do, and I set about applying for teacher training.
Why did you choose the SCITT route?
As I had already spent a few years at university doing a degree and then a Masters, I decided that going back to university was not for me. Instead, I chose the SCITT route because I wanted to learn on the job, and gain extensive experience of working in a school. At the Pimlico London SCITT I have spent the majority of my training at one school. As a result, I feel like a fully-fledged member of staff.
Why did you choose the Pimlico London SCITT?
The Pimlico London SCITT has a great reputation and is rated as one of the best teacher training providers in the country. I went to an Open Morning at the SCITT which I found a very positive experience and I was able to speak to current trainees on the programme. I also liked the idea that you get a PGCE from the Institute of Education which is held in high regard around the world.
How have you found your experience of working in a school?
Working in a school has been the most emotionally challenging but also the most rewarding experience of my life. The highlight for me so far has been seeing the progress my students have been making in class, and realising that the work I have been doing is making a huge impact.
How would you rate the quality of mentoring and training you have received?
My mentor and department have been really good and supportive, and have answered any questions that I have. Managing workload is often a major challenge for teachers, but thanks to their support, I have developed effective strategies for managing my workload and maintaining a good work-life balance.
The SCITT team have also been very supportive; the training we receive on Tuesday afternoons is extremely thorough and current. I have benefited from listening to a range of speakers on various topics covering pedagogy, curriculum development, and teaching strategies which I can use and apply to my teaching practice.
Sarah Montague, Music Teacher - SCITT Trainee 2017-18
What were you doing before starting the course?
Before starting the course I worked in communications at an arts organisation. I was spending all my spare time playing music and I quit my office job so that I could figure out a way to make music the centre of my life again. I spent a year building up my skills by teaching privately, running and playing in ensembles, doing workshops in primary schools and other bits of work.
Why did you decide to become a teacher?
Lots of people had suggested over the years that I would make a good teacher, but I was so petrified at the thought of standing and speaking in front of a room full of teenagers that I didn't think it was an option, though I've always enjoyed talking to children and young people. I was playing the violin in an orchestra and found myself gradually taking responsibility for leading and teaching, and I realised it was something I really enjoyed and could be good at.
What inspired you in particular about the Pimlico London SCITT programme?
I thought that the intensity of the programme would stand me in good stead. I felt like there was incredible attention to detail in terms of what the course covered: I got the impression that a number of very bright people had put a lot of thought into putting it together and making sure all the bases were covered.
What aspect of working in a school have you most enjoyed?
Getting to know the 'music kids.' There are children who spend most of their spare time hanging around in our department, just like I did at their age, and it feels like a real privilege to be able to have an impact on their lives. It's great seeing them grow into mature musicians. I've also really enjoyed teaching all my Year 7s this year: so many of them are really keen and are always coming in to find out how to play a chord or something, which is gratifying.
How would you describe the mentoring and support you have received?
I must say that I have been lucky on this front. I didn't sail through the course effortlessly, and I have had so much support. I've always felt that the course leaders believed in me and they were really patient and put a lot of extra hours into helping me. The music teachers have been tremendously supportive as well and I have learned so much from watching and working with each of them.
Lucinda Merritt, Drama Trainee, 2016-17
What was distinctive about the quality of mentoring you received?
This school, this department has been a driving force behind my desire to teach. Studying here has been most rewarding and I am incredibly grateful for every opportunity I have had to be part of this outstanding school. I love that this school champions the diversity of its students, setting high expectations and promoting good subject knowledge. The staff I have worked with this year have been inspiring, hardworking and passionate and reflect the dedication of the school to its students. The Drama Department have provided me with a rich and fulfilling experience, their knowledge, wisdom and experience have developed my own knowledge and practice. Working within a small department has meant I have been able to draw upon their expertise frequently and creates a nurturing and supportive environment befitting of any future training teacher.
How would you describe the leadership provided by the Pimlico-London SCITT team?
The SCITT programme itself has been a life affirming experience. The SCITT team are highly knowledgeable and are dedicated to maintaining high standards of teacher training. This is provided in our Tuesday training sessions, the detailed feedback from lesson observations and learning walks and our cross-phase, alternative provision and school experiences. I would highly recommend the training at the Pimlico London SCITT.
How would you describe the level of support provided during the most challenging times of the course?
Recently, personal circumstances have made my experience quite challenging and the team have not only offered academic and logistical support but have also made efforts to check in with me. They have shown a level of understanding and compassion that may be lost in larger programmes or in different teacher training routes. I have felt very much supported, encouraged and motivated to complete my teacher training and as the programme grows I am confident that each, individual trainee teacher will feel the same way.

The 3D Network Professional Virtual Enterprise Initiative (pronounced 3DNPV) was first created and joined by members worldwide around common interests in March of 2007.
We do what we would be doing for free anyway, because that is our passion. The difference with 'open source' is that, we put ourselves and our members in a position where revenues are possible. Open source software is great for developers because they can do exactly what they want for some time, but the ability to potentially continue doing what we love for an extended period is better.
This will be a player owned economy. Worlds, scenes and objects are to be added and linked to create a thriving economy of goods, services, and most importantly, communications and relationships.
Our premise is that, it is not the individual properties of objects that have value, but the quality of the relationship that they have with each other that creates value.

Acting Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan is being investigated for allegedly showing favoritism to Boeing, where he worked for more than 30 years before joining the Pentagon.
"The Department of Defense Office of Inspector General has decided to investigate complaints we recently received that Acting Secretary Patrick Shanahan allegedly took actions to promote his former employer, Boeing, and disparage its competitors, allegedly in violation of ethics rules," a DoD IG spokesperson said on Wednesday.
Army Capt. Antoine Lewis was one of the 157 people who were killed in a plane crash in Ethiopia over the weekend, Stars and Stripes reports.
The new defense chief, a former Boeing employee, has reportedly been extremely critical Lockheed Martin's F-35 Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter in private meetings, raising questions about whether he is bias in overseeing the largest weapons program in history.

Friday, August 30, 1963: U.S.-Soviet hotline
The historic "hot line" between Washington and Moscow is open for business -- business that officials hope will never come.
Now a tinkle of a bell in the White House or Kremlin -- at either end of the emergency communications system -- may signal the next world crisis.
But it may also keep nervous fingers from pressing the buttons that would launch nuclear war.
Completion of the circuits, made possible by a U.S. Soviet agreement to create machinery for forestalling war, was announced laconically Friday night by the Pentagon.
"The direct communications link between Washington and Moscow is now operational," said a one-sentence announcement.
The land-line and radio system is, under the terms of the agreement signed in Geneva last June 20, "for use in time of emergency."
It would be used when the two chiefs of state needed to confer directly and quickly because of an incident, accidental or authorized, which otherwise would bring on nuclear war.
In urging adoption of the system, President Kennedy cited dangerous delays in communications between Russia and the United States during the anxious days of the Cuban crisis.
Administration officials said the line will not be used for ordinary communications between Kennedy and Premier Khrushchev or between the foreign offices of the two nations. Those communications will continue to use normal embassy channels.
The ringing of the bell, part of an elaborate system of sounding and receiving Teletype machines, is the alert that a message is coming.
The telegraphic tickers will stand ready from now on, day and night.
Attendants, all carefully selected and screened for security, watch and listen. At least one of the attendants on duty at any time will be bilingual, able to read and wrote both Russian and English.

Tiny Island of Aland Could Derail EU
James Joyner · Thursday, February 16, 2006 · 4 comments
Dan Drezner passes on word that Aland, a tiny island that few have ever heard, of could derail the European Union. Over chewing tobacco, no less.
In the decade since they voted to join the European Union the islanders of the Aland archipelago in the Baltic Sea have been outvoted and overruled by Brussels, time and again. Now Aland, a unique, autonomous region of Finland, is about to teach Brussels a lesson in democracy it may never forget.
Thanks to a quirk of early 20th-century history, Aland's 26,000 people are essentially sovereign co-rulers of their home nation of Finland. As such, they can veto any international treaty that Finland wants to enter, including EU treaties. And the islanders are threatening to do just that when the European Commission attempts to revive the moribund EU constitution later this year. But last week the archipelago's head of EU affairs, Britt Lundberg, travelled to Brussels – a day-long trek – to deliver a warning that dismally low public opinion on Europe could mean Alanders prevent Finland from ratifying the constitution.
The islanders' revolt has been brewing for some time. First, this community of Swedish-speaking Finns lost the right to fish at sea with traditional nets. Then Alanders saw their beloved spring duck hunting virtually abolished. To the Alanders' final outrage, local laws on consuming "snus" or Swedish chewing tobacco, are about to be quashed by the European Court of Justice.
Finland, which takes over the rotating EU presidency later this year, is committed to reviving the constitution after No votes in France and Holland last year. Parliament in Helsinki is poised to adopt a positive "position" on the treaty, as part of a plan co-ordinated with powers that include Germany and Austria. So Mrs Lundberg's warning made the Commission take notice.
Brussels is trapped in a "Catch 22" situation of the EU's own making. Snus, a form of chewing tobacco, has been outlawed by EU fiat in every nation except Sweden, which secured a -special opt-out as a condition of its joining the EU, and in every region – except Aland. The Commission recently took Finland to court to quash Aland's snus law. But Finland has no power to change that law. Finland does not control laws covering health in Aland; Aland does. Aland is not allowed to defend its law before the justices in Luxembourg because the court recognises only nations. So the court is set to convict and fine Aland, without allowing the island's government to plead its case. A ban on snus threatens serious financial harm to the capital, Mariehamn.
Like Dan, I find this quite amusing. But such is life in a quasi-confederacy. The ability of localities to undermine the common will was the principal reason the Articles of Confederation failed and had to be replaced by the U.S. Constitution.
The principle under which international politics have operated under since the Treaties of Westphalia ended the Thirty Years War in 1648 is national sovereignty. While EU makes a world of sense as an economic alliance, deepening it to include other issues has been incredibly difficult. The Brits, the French, the Dutch, and others want the benefits of Union, yes, but are not willing to give away their sovereignty and their culture to get them. Neither, apparently, are the Alanders.
Update: Map added.

I have been all over the Baltic and each of the Scandanavian nations, but even I could not find Aland on a map. How cool.
even prosperity is not a fair trade for autonomy.
So "chaw" is basically banned in Europe? Wow.

The Dutch people who voted no did so for a variety of reasons. Personally I think once you have the same money it is silly to pretend economic and politics are seperated issues.
The constitution didn't actually change the sovereignity issues. If Finland doesn't ratify the constitution it doesn't change the trap they are in now. Maybe they can come up with a creative solution. IIRC they officially decided that carrots are fruit so that Portugal could still make and sell carrot jam 🙂

Michael Jones convicted of first-degree murder
Texas man faces life in prison in drug robbery case
By Shane Benjamin Deputy editor

Updated: Thursday, Aug. 23, 2018 4:56 PM
Follow @shane_benjamin
A Texas man who shot and killed another man in a marijuana robbery was convicted Wednesday of first-degree murder.
Michael Jones, 20, will spend the rest of his life in prison as a result of the conviction. He was also convicted on three counts of robbery, three counts of menacing with a deadly weapon and tampering with physical evidence.
A seven-day trial began Aug. 13 in 6th Judicial District Court and concluded Tuesday with closing arguments. The trial was overseen by District Judge William Herringer. A 12-person jury began deliberating about 11:15 a.m. Tuesday and reached its verdict about 10 a.m. Wednesday.
Jones fired the gun that killed David Gaytan, 34, on May 14, 2017, in the Lightner Creek Mobile Home Park, 907 County Road 207 (Lightner Creek Road), a few miles west of Durango.
Jones, along with two co-defendants – Kevin Goff, 27, and Alysse Rios, 19 – set up an illegal marijuana transaction and intended to rob the people of the marijuana rather than purchase it, according to prosecutors.
Goff and Jones were inside the home during the robbery, while Rios waited in a black sedan with the engine running in the driveway, according to police and prosecutors. Jones pointed a gun at those inside the home and demanded the victims empty their pockets and hand over their wallets. At some point, Gaytan lunged toward Jones, and Jones fired his weapon, hitting Gaytan in the chest.
Rios is scheduled to be sentenced for her role in the crime Nov. 7. Goff is scheduled for a jury trial to begin Oct. 22.
Public defense lawyers said there wasn't sufficient evidence to convict Jones of first-degree murder, saying it is unclear what happened in the trailer.
But prosecutors said it was a planned robbery, and Jones brought a loaded weapon to a drug deal, pointed the gun at his suspects and ultimately pulled the trigger.
District Attorney Christian Champagne said he is proud of hard work prosecutors and law enforcement put into the case.
"We're obviously pleased with the results and doing justice on behalf of the victim and his family and the community," he said.
A formal sentencing hearing is set for 3 p.m. Oct. 12.

LAS VEGAS, United States, Aug. 3 (Xinhua) -- A fundraiser for U.S. Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton' s campaign will be held in Las Vegas at Black Hat, a major cybersecurity conference currently underway in the city.
Jeff Moss, founder of the Black Hat and DefCon cybersecurity conferences, which are being held after Black Hat, will attend the funderaiser on Wednesday, Black Hat public relations manager Meredith Corley told Xinhua on Tuesday.
However, the event is not organized by Black Hat USA 2016, which attracts prominent cyber security experts and hackers from around the world. "It's not a Black Hat show," Corley said.
For anywhere from 100 U.S. dollars for a "Young Professional" to a maximum of 2,700 dollars for the "Host Committee," donors can also mingle with former Homeland Security Department official Jake Braun and the Clinton campaign' s cybersecurity working group coordinator Michael Sulmeyer.
Cybersecurity issues have plagued Clinton' s campaign for months, from her long-running email controversy to the recent hacks of the Democratic National Committee and Clinton' s own campaign network.
The two hour-long fundraiser scheduled for the hackers community will be held just days after new reports surfaced that a number of emails of the Democratic National Committee were published by hackers on the Wikileaks website.
But Black Hat is not a safe place. "Not even the slot machines are safe at Black Hat USA," Neil Wyler, head of the network operations center at Black Hat posted on Twitter.
Whoever comes from the Clinton campaign, it is better to "stay off the network, like turn off their wi-fi and Bluetooth on their phones and pray," Wyler said to Xinhua.
For millennia Kúpit Panske Nike Shox 807 Biele Modre , gardening has been practiced by people all over the world throughout the ages in many civilizations. Whether you've grown vegetables, herbs or flowers before or are a complete novice, it's always possible to start some kind of garden no matter where you live. Let's now take a look at how gardening can be beneficial for you.
As long as you want to have a garden Panske Nike Shox Current Leather Cierne Najlacnejsie , you don't need to be limited by space, because a garden can be done in a small area, if need be. Gardening can be any size from a mega garden to one that is only a couple of feet Kúpit Puma Fierce Core Kylie Jenner Mesh Biele , so don't let where you live limit you experiencing a garden. People who live in a building, can join together and have a garden up on the rooftop. Some areas have community gardens, where you can have your own spot. Even though it's not your own property Vypredaj Nike Air Force One Low 07 LV8 Sede , it's still your garden and this is also a good way to meet other people in your neighborhood. If you want to start gardening space doesn't need to stop you, since you can have a garden indoors if you want, or even on a patio or porch. There are a lot of possibilities for your garden Nike Air Force One Low Leather Biele Lacne , even if your yard is not very big. Your yard is more beautiful with a garden, and the atmosphere of your home is more pleasing. Having beautiful flowers in your yard can give your home an exotic look, and the fragrance will be pleasing as well. Even a vegetable garden adds a homey feeling to your yard. You may want to put a lot of time into your garden Panske Nike Air Force One Low Strata Sede Predaj , making it a work of art, or maybe your time is limited, so only a couple of items get planted. You will be adding beauty to your home Panske Nike Air Force One Low Cervene Predaj , while also doing something for the environment, which should make you feel like you have accomplished something good. When you build a nicely designed garden to your home, it can raise the value of the home Puma Ignite Evoknit High Biele Lacne , even if that wasn't your purpose.
There are a variety of reasons why people raise gardens which include growing food, earning extra money, and helping to feed their family. The advent of farmer's markets is now gaining speed because people are growing their own produce and selling it to people who want to be healthier. Sometimes people will sell anything from broccoli to plain lettuce at these health oriented gatherings. The organic section in most chain grocery stores is a good place to start if you want to sell the produce that you have. Another possibility is barter Puma Ignite Limitless Cierne Sede Predaj , where you trade something that comes from your garden for an item or service someone can provide you with. Instead of paying for everything that you get, you could actually use your produce to barter for things that you cannot afford.
In summary, gardening brings about many benefits Puma Ignite Evoknit Low Cierne Cervene Najlacnejsie , though most people would just sum them up by saying that having a garden is fun or rewarding. There isn't any reason why you cannot start off with a small garden if you have limited space and you've not gardened before. A garden can even be started in your porch or kitchen if this space is the only one available.
SAPPORO, Japan, Feb. 26 (Xinhua) -- Lacking an entrenched tradition in winter sports, China is scouting summer sports talent as it gears up for the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics.
Chinese sports officials said here on Sunday that they are seeking winter sports talent nationwide, in track and field, Chinese martial arts, roller skating, gymnastics and even basketball.
According to Ren Hongguo, Secretary General of the Chinese delegation to the Sapporo Asian Winter Games, China aims to compete in all seven sports and over 90 percent of 102 medal events at the 2022 Olympics.
To reach that goal, China has built national teams in the sports of bobsled, luge, skeleton, snowboard and ski jumping in recent years, raising the number of national winter sports teams to 22.
""After the Asian Games, we will be searching for talent all over the country,"" said Ren. ""We will be looking beyond those northeastern provinces already known for winter and snow sports in China,"" Ren added.

For a while now, we've been seeing a lot of video flooding our Facebook News Feed. If you think there's an over abundance of video now, just wait. According to a Facebook VP prediction, it'll be "all video" in 5 years time.
Nicola Mendelsohn, Facebook's VP for Europe, the Middle East and Africa, said to Fortune's Most Powerful Women International Summit in London on June 14 that Facebook "will be defintely mobile" in five years. It was predicted by Nicola that it "will be probably all video" as well.
Mendelsohn confirmed, although no numbers were given, that Facebook users are posting ess tet-based status updates and more media.
Video has been a big deal for Facebook, since, according to Facebook, the company said that 500 million users watch video on Facebook everyday, and time spent watching video content had reached 100 million hours daily.


Escape these lies and leave yourself a par putt.
Thick-rough lies often lead to one of two bad swings: (1) a wild chop at the ball or (2) a half-hearted effort that gets the clubhead tangled. To do it right, use your sand wedge and make a punchy swing—long going back and short through.
Take a few practice swings in a similar lie to feel the resistance of the grass. You'll have to tighten your grip to stabilize the clubhead and counteract the tendency for the grass to grab and close the face. A few previews will give you a good feel.
When the grass is mowed really short around the green, a lot of players reach for the putter. But you can hit pitches from firm lies if you follow one cardinal rule: Don't let the shaft lean too far forward. That tilts the leading edge at the ground and makes it easy to stub it.
Instead, set the clubface open, shaft straight up, and play the ball centered in your stance (above). Swing in a wide arc that bottoms out at impact without gouging much turf. You'll produce a decent shot even if you hit it a touch fat or thin.
A 25- or 30-yard bunker shot gives most amateurs fits because the standard explosion with a 56-degree wedge goes only 10 or 15 yards. Instead of trying to add distance by picking the ball clean with your sand wedge, switch to a longer club—up to an 8-iron—and use your normal greenside-explosion technique.
As long as you open the face slightly, there's plenty of loft for height and bounce on the bottom of those clubs to get a good result. You should be able to hit an 8-iron explosion shot up to 40 yards.

10.22.15 | No Comments | JaneenIFWT
After waiting for what seemed like an eternity, Adele takes to Twitter to announce that she is nearing the release of her third studio album, 25.
Continuing with the theme of the first two albums, 19 and 21, Adele reflects on ago.
"When I was 7, I wanted to be 8. When I was 8, I wanted to be 12. When I was turned 12 I just wanted to be 18," she writes in a lengthy letter to fans. "Then after that I stopped wanting to be older. Now I'm ticking 16-24 boxes just to see if I can blag it!"

While her last album was about the wounded heart, this one will be about being a grown up and "making up" for all things lost … that were worth losing, of course.
"My last record was a break-up record and if I had to label this one I would call it a make-up record," she said. "I'm making up with myself. Making up for lost time. Making up with everything I ever did and never did."
Despite fans waiting to hear the "Rumor Has It" songstress' new tunes, a little while longer will not kill us. Expect 25 before the year ends.

Adele new album


There are a lot of "ohyeahbestof2010" lists popping up around the blog-o-sphere now, and I'm stumbling upon a couple gems that haven't come across my path this past year.
The most standout of them all has been and EP from WALSH, Smoke Weed About It. As Flavorwire describes it, this release is a combination of 2010's best trends: reverbed vocals, dreamy synths, smudgy beats, new wave influences.
The most interesting of all the tracks is "07 Luxury," which features rapper and singer Squadda Bambino. It's a psychedelic brand of lo-fi hip hop that shows a lot of promise. Future trend, perhaps? Stream the song below and download WALSH's ep via Dracula Horse.
