Luis Ortego brings us his marvelously captured tale of Argentina crime sensation Carlos Puch in El Angel, the biopic that never really feels like a biopic. El Angel does more than simply check off key moments to the tale of the "the Angel of Death", it explores the ideas of adolescence and innocence in a quasi-coming of age tale through the eyes of Carlos. This is attained through a cerebral script, impeccable camera work, and a breakout performance for the ages by Lorenzo Ferro, who plays Carlos Puch himself. Now, an entire article could be written on Ferro, the performance is that commanding, but in short, Lorenzo represents everything beautiful about connecting with an incredible actor in world cinema. His eyes capture the innocence of a young man spiraling out of control, while his infectious charisma presents us with a sociopath beyond reason. Furthermore, the production around it sports impeccable art design, capturing the saturation and colour of the 70s in every inch of the frame, and a soundtrack that brings an undeniable level of precision to each scene.
International treasures like this are why festivals exists.

This one policy has correlated with higher unemployment, more bankruptcies and greater inequality. Can you guess what it is?
By: Benjamin Weingarten
TheBlaze
In a new book titled "The Floating Kilogram," former long-time Wall Street Journal editor and founder of the New York Sun Seth Lipsky makes an impassioned, reasoned, common sense case for returning America to sound money in the form of the gold standard.
Much like Steve Forbes and Jim Grant with whom we have touched on this issue before, as Seth and I discussed during an in-depth interview, Lipsky believes there is significant economic and moral merit to backing currency with a tangible asset, with benefits for all Americans.
One of his more interesting and overlooked arguments concerns some of the devastating consequences for the country since we officially severed the link between the dollar and gold under President Nixon in 1971. Lipsky explains:
From 1947 when [the] Bretton Woods System really got operating to 1971, when the dollar was convertible into gold at a 35th of an ounce, unemployment in America averaged 4.7 percent. And then we got rid of the Bretton Woods system — we defaulted on it — we went to fiat money, and in the years from 1971 to today, unemployment has averaged significantly above 6 percent. Low unemployment: gold standard. High unemployment: fiat money.
Title: The Floating Kilogram: … and Other Editorials on Money from the New York Sun
Author: Seth Lipsky
But it's not just unemployment. The bankruptcy rate which Elizabeth Warren likes to focus on was one point something per thousand for years, and suddenly it shot up. When did it do that? The mid-1970s when we went off the gold standard and moved to the age of fiat money.
And you've no doubt read about this economic Thomas Piketty who likes to warn about the inequality rate. It was trending gently downward for years and suddenly it began to shoot up. That was the mid-1970s when we abandoned the gold standard and went to a system of fiat money.
So there are a lot of reasons to start looking at this and to see whether the absence of a sound dollar is the root cause of our system of growing inequality and high unemployment and lack of jobs and high bankruptcy rate, and to see whether something can be reformed so as to bring us back to a system of sound money. [Links ours]
The title for Lipsky's book, "The Floating Kilogram," reflects an editorial published in 2011 in his New York Sun, in which Lipsky asked the question, "Why don't we let the kilogram float?" The implication is that if weights and measures are no longer defined, why shouldn't the kilogram — a man-made measure which the New York Times noted may have been losing mass — fluctuate just as a dollar fluctuates in value. Lipsky wrote:
[H]ere in the modern age, the members of the Federal Reserve Board don't worry about how many grains of silver or gold are behind the dollar. They couldn't care less. And when the value of a dollar plunges at a dizzying rate, the chairman of Federal Reserve, Ben Bernanke, goes up to Capitol Hill and, in testimony before the House, declares merely that he is "puzzled." No "new urgency" to redefine the dollar for him. The fact is that we've long since ceased to define the dollar, and it can float not only against other currencies but against the 371 ¼ grains of pure silver.
So why not the kilogram? After all, when you go into the grocery to buy a pound of hamburger, why should you worry about how much hamburger you get — so long as it's a pound's worth. A pound is supposed to be .45359237 of a kilogram, of course. But if the Congress can permit Mr. Bernanke to use his judgment in deciding what a dollar is worth, why shouldn't he — or some other PhD from Massachusetts Institute of Technology — be able to decide from day to day what a kilogram is worth?
During our interview which you can listen to in full below, we discuss the fundamental flaws in and immorality of floating fiat money and several other topics including:
Why the gold standard is a live and vital issue today
What the Constitution says about money
Congress' dereliction of duty on money, but causes for optimism given recent reform efforts
The three times when sound money should be sought out
Central planning of the money supply enables the expansion of the welfare state
The folly of the Fed's full employment mandate
How America has been in default since the early 2000s

Marxist Democrats and the Return of the Hanoi Lobby
By: Cliff Kincaid
The main failure by top Republicans—and even many conservatives—is that they do not challenge President Obama as the Marxist he is, and they have no coherent alternative to his strategic plan of supporting America's enemies.
Reflecting the current mindset—that Obama is just a misguided liberal—Republican strategist Karl Rove failed to anticipate or understand the nature of the growing anti-Obama movement, and the potential it holds. He had predicted the GOP would pick up only six seats in the House, when the Republicans picked up 14 seats. He had predicted that Republican would win the Senate with 51 seats, when the actual figure turned out to be 54.
Republicans like Rove do not understand the nature of the Democratic Party and how it has been taken over by Marxist forces. He had advised Republicans in 2008 and 2012 not to refer to Obama as a socialist. However, grassroots conservatives increasingly understand the dangers we are facing.
The 40th anniversary of the end of United States military involvement in Vietnam—and the 50th anniversary of the start of that U.S. military involvement—provide an opportunity to understand how the Democratic Party has changed. During that 10-year period, 1965-1975, more than 58,000 Americans sacrificed and died to save that country from communism.
Today, with the help of the Republican leadership, President Obama is trying to wrap up a Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade deal that includes communist Vietnam, a dictatorship with the blood of those Americans on its hands, which has no respect for the human rights of its own people. Interestingly, Obama is trying to sell the agreement as a counter to China's influence throughout the world. He wants us to believe that China and Vietnam somehow differ on their common objective of achieving world communism at the expense of America's standing as the leader of what used to be the Free World.
Both countries would gladly welcome the U.S. to help pay to accelerate the growth of their socialist economies and expand their markets.
Vietnam would be free today except for a Democratic-controlled Congress that decided otherwise. Lewis Fanning's excellent book, Betrayal in Vietnam, notes that "…it was not the Hanoi communists who won the war, but rather the American Congress that lost it." Fanning writes, "It was not until after the United States elections in the fall of 1974 that North Vietnamese field commanders received the go-ahead in their plans to conquer South Vietnam. As a result of the Watergate scandals, the Democrats had gained forty-three seats in the House. This liberal victory meant that in the 94th Congress there would be 291 Democrats and only 144 Republicans. In the Senate, the Democrats had gained three seats and the lineup was now 61 Democrats to 39 Republicans. This leftward shift of both congressional chambers played a significant role in the North Vietnamese decision to unleash its army."
Going through the provisions of various bills offered by Democrats in Congress, he presents the case that "A Democratic caucus of the Congress of the United States, aided and abetted by a few liberal Republicans, cast the South Vietnamese people into Communist slavery."
That left-wing caucus, Members of Congress for Peace through Law, decided that American military involvement would end, and dramatically reduced aid to the government of South Vietnam. Republican President Gerald Ford, who took power after Richard Nixon's resignation, understood that Congress would not provide enough assistance to keep the country free of communism. Hundreds of thousands of "boat people" tried to escape the Hanoi communists who took power in Saigon while the communist Khmer Rouge took power in neighboring Cambodia, eliminating almost two million people.
The Members of Congress for Peace through Law eventually grew to became the Congressional Progressive Caucus, the largest group of congressional members within the Democratic Party. This faction is the subject of Trevor Loudon's book, The Enemies Within: Communists, Socialists and Progressives in the US Congress, which is now being made into a major film.
The only Senate member of the Congressional Progressive Caucus is Vermont's "independent" Senator Bernie Sanders, who has just announced he is running for president. It is telling that Sanders, an open socialist who collaborated with the communists through the Soviet-run U.S. Peace Council, thinks he has sufficient stature and credibility within the party to rally the "progressives."
Sanders worked closely with the communist fronts which were busy in the 1980s trying to undermine President Ronald Reagan's peace-through-strength policies toward the Soviet Union.
As we have noted, the name of Bernie Sanders, then identified as former mayor of Burlington, Vermont, even showed up on a list of speakers at a 1989 U.S. Peace Council event to "end the Cold War" and "fund human needs." Other speakers at the U.S. Peace Council event included Rep. John Conyers, a Democrat from Michigan; Gunther Dreifahl of the East German "Peace Council;" Jesse Jackson aide Jack O'Dell; and Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) official Zehdi Terzi.
In 1981, the Soviet-front U.S. Peace Council held its second national conference. Endorsers included Democratic Rep. Danny K. Davis, one of Obama's associates in Chicago, and David Cortright of a group known as SANE, for the Committee for a Sane Nuclear Policy.
Rep. Davis got an award from the Communist Party in 2012 and the major media ignored it. Jeremy Segal recorded video of the Democratic Representative getting the communist award—and still the media ignored it
Today Cortright is the Associate Director of Programs and Policy Studies of the Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies at the University of Notre Dame, which offers a Ph.D in "Peace Studies." He is in charge of a conference this week in Washington, D.C. titled, "The Vietnam War Then and Now: Assessing the Critical Lessons."
The Kroc Institute is named after Joan Kroc, the widow of McDonald's Corp. founder Ray Kroc. She contributed $69.1 million to establish and support the Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies.
The final conference panel, "The Anti-War Movement: What were the impacts of the anti-war movement?," includes Cora Weiss and Tom Hayden, supporters of the communist enemy, and Cortright himself, an agent of influence or dupe.
Hayden is probably the best known of the "anti-war" activists, having become "Mr. Jane Fonda" when he married the actress after she posed with a North Vietnamese anti-aircraft gun used to shoot down and kill American pilots over Vietnam. Hayden had personally written a June 4, 1968, "Dear Col. Lao" letter to a North Vietnamese official that ended, "Good fortune! Victory!"
Not surprisingly, Hayden, a member of Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) during the 1960s, would later join "Progressives for Obama."
The Democrats in Congress at that time were working with what became known as the "Hanoi Lobby," a collection of communist and socialist groups that played a key role in America's defeat. The remnants of the Hanoi Lobby are active today in such areas as backing Obama's normalization of relations with and recognition of communist Cuba.
Then, like now, their plan is to work on behalf of enemies of the United States. Although they usually call themselves "anti-war" peace activists, they don't seem to be concerned about wars started by anti-American regimes and movements which undermine U.S. interests. The Sanders candidacy will help smoke them out.
Ironically, Sanders is opposing Obama's Asia trade agreement, largely because Big Labor is against it, while top Republicans in the House and Senate are trying to round up enough votes to approve fast track trade promotion authority for Obama and then pass the agreement itself. These are the same Republicans who have been complaining that Obama has assumed too much executive authority.
It seems as if the Republicans never learn. Or else they don't want to.

Art Imitating Life, or Propaganda Selling a Flawed Iranian Nuke Deal?
By: Roger Aronoff
When the CBS show "Madam Secretary" premiered last September, there was much speculation and hand-wringing about whether or not the title character, Secretary of State Elizabeth McCord played by Tea Leoni, was inspired by Hillary Clinton, and if this show was meant as a long-running political ad humanizing Hillary Clinton. Such an effort might help make her ascension to the White House seem plausible, if not inevitable.
Despite the denials, it seems clear that "Madam Secretary" was just such an effort, and still is. But in the few episodes I've watched, I haven't seen much of what we know of the real Hillary. "If I had the power to fire her, I would have fired her," commented her long-time critic Jerome Zeifman in 1998, reflecting upon Mrs. Clinton's political maneuvers during the impeachment of President Richard Nixon.
Mrs. Clinton is a prima donna who travels like a rock star, and who puts herself above the law, presenting herself as a great fighter for women's rights—yet in her own life she stood by her man, who has cheated on her for decades, and has been credibly accused of forcing himself on women who wanted nothing to do with him. In addition, Mrs. Clinton has, through her foundation, collected money from countries that deprive their women of their basic human rights. "But the Bill, Hillary & Chelsea Clinton Foundation has accepted tens of millions of dollars in donations from Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Algeria and Brunei—all of which the State Department has faulted over their records on sex discrimination and other human-rights issues," reported The New York Times this month. So besides the hypocrisy issue, her conflicts of interest are quite extraordinary.
Hollywood elites strive not only to shape American culture, but also to promote their left-wing agenda. While CBS is engaging in propaganda to support of Hillary Clinton, it is also attempting to not-so-subtly condition the American people to accept a badly-flawed Iranian nuclear deal crafted in Washington. President Barack Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry hope to impose this nuclear deal on the world in the name of stopping Iran from getting nuclear weapons. But based on what we know about the deal, and the concessions made to the Iranians, it is more likely that the opposite will occur.
The current storyline on the CBS show has the fictional Madam Secretary traveling to Iran to attempt to save the Iranian nuclear deal—just days before the actual deal is about to be foisted on the world. There she met with the "moderate" Iranian foreign minister, Zahed Javani. At the end of the show, she went on CBS's Face the Nation, and who was the host? None other than Bob Schieffer—playing the role of Bob Schieffer.
And keep in mind, President Obama's Deputy National Security Adviser is Ben Rhodes, whose brother David Rhodes happens to be president of CBS News. But since "Madam Secretary" is produced by the entertainment division—not news—that couldn't have been a factor. Could it?
Here was the closing dialogue from last Sunday night's episode, with Leoni's character appearing on Face the Nation to discuss what happened on her trip to Iran, and to explain why it was so necessary and so important to the American people:
Bob Schieffer (BS): Madame Secretary, you made an unprecedented trip to Iran to save the nuclear deal between the Iranians and the United States.
Madam Secretary (MS): Yes, I did.
BS: And while you were there, of course, a coup, that was eventually foiled, began. You were in the room when the foreign minister Javani was killed.
(MS): That's right.
BS: Who else was there and what happened?
(MS): We were at minister Javani's house when it happened. Several members of my security detail were wounded or killed. And their courage was awe-inspiring. And I deeply mourn their loss, as does the entire country. Minister Javani's son witnessed his father's death. As a mother I would have given anything to protect that child. Which is why I am determined as ever to see through the nuclear agreement that his father gave his life for. Because I think that's our greatest responsibility in this life. To leave a safer and more peaceful world for our children.
BS: Madame Secretary, thank you.
(MS): Thank you Bob.
You can watch most of that scene in this video, in which Schieffer says that if most of the guests he has on his show were "as direct and as honest" as Madam Secretary was, they would be a lot better off. Schieffer is confusing fact with fiction.
Leoni wasn't being "direct" and "honest" on camera. She was merely repeating a fictional dialogue that she was given to memorize as an actress. This was propaganda, in which Schieffer was an active participant in trying to convince the audience about the wonderful peace dividends we should expect from a successful deal with Iran.
"I may send this around to Capitol Hill and say if you want to be on Face the Nation, this is how you should act," said Schieffer.
The fictional Foreign Minister Zahed Javani parallels Iran's current foreign minister, Mohammad Javad Zarif, who, apparently, wants a really good deal for all sides—while all those hard-liners are sitting in the background demanding more from the deal, such as an immediate end to sanctions. So, the narrative goes, America should align itself with the Iranians who just want peace like we do, the ones who have our interests at heart.
"Iran's Supreme leader Ali Khamenei called for 'Death to America' on Saturday, a day after President Barack Obama appealed to Iran to seize a 'historic opportunity' for a nuclear deal and a better future, and as U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry claimed substantial progress toward an accord," reports the Times of Israel. The Los Angeles Times ran news of this under the title, "As crowd chants 'Death to America,' Khamenei backs nuclear talks."
The Iranians also blew up a replica of a U.S. aircraft carrier last month, and their government regularly conducts cyber attacks against our country. Is this part of their charm offensive to get Americans to support the deal, or is it complete disdain for America and its leaders?
Of course "Madam Secretary" is just fiction, and any resemblance to the real life negotiations is purely coincidental. Who could possibly think otherwise?
Let's be clear, almost everyone desires a world without Iran developing and threatening to use nuclear weapons on Israel, its regional neighbors, or other targets. But does the best strategy to achieve that goal include lifting sanctions on this rogue regime, while it is in the process of expanding its hegemonic reach across at least five countries in its region? Proponents of this deal—at least what we know of it—suggest that the options are making this deal or going to war. Yet President Obama says he is prepared to walk away if he doesn't get the right deal. Does his Plan B include going to war?
As I reported earlier, according to Citizens' Commission on Benghazi member Clare Lopez, the "November 2013 Joint Plan of Action gave Iran just about everything it wanted: the right to enrich, the right to keep uranium, centrifuge research and development, and continued intercontinental ballistic missile development." And it added sanctions relief onto that long list of concessions.
Iran maintains that their nuclear energy is just for peaceful purposes. Yet they have a secret facility that we've recently learned about through a dissident group, the National Council of Resistance of Iran. International Atomic Energy Agency inspectors are also not allowed to visit another known site of unknown activity called Parchin.
Iranians are still sponsors of terror worldwide, and have been responsible for the deaths of thousands of Americans. They simply can't be trusted. But CBS, through "Madam Secretary," would like America to think otherwise. And Mr. Schieffer has become complicit in such misinformation. Incredibly, as we approach the latest artificial deadline of March 31st for the Iranian nuclear deal, the Obama administration has removed Iran and Hezbollah from the terror threat list.
On top of that, we now we have our President vouching for the character of two of Iran's top leaders: "Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei has issued a fatwa against the development of nuclear weapons, and President Rouhani has said that Iran would never develop a nuclear weapon," said President Obama in a speech to the Iranian people, that was posted on the Whitehouse.gov website. Does anyone believe that these people are being honest and sincere?
In a just released New York Times article, a source close to Ayatollah Khamenei said that for now, the so-called hard-liners are finally keeping quiet. "Iran speaks with one voice," he told the Times, and said that "the muzzle would remain in place as long as the negotiations seemed to be progressing." He said that the "Fact of the matter is that we are seeing positive changes in the U.S. position in the nuclear talk…We are steadfast and the U.S. is compromising. We are not complaining."
A deal with Iran would be just another "accomplishment" for the Obama legacy, and CNN acknowledged as much when it published "Iran nuclear deal: President Barack Obama's legacy moment on Iran" two years ago. When the deal goes bad, he can always blame it on George Bush.
The Associated Press now reports that criticism of Obama's desire for a legacy-building Iranian deal originates with "GOP hawks." Yet as CNN is reporting, "A veto-proof, bipartisan majority of House lawmakers have signed an open letter to President Barack Obama warning him that any nuclear deal with Iran will effectively require congressional approval for implementation." Among the signers of the March 20th letter are Democratic Congressmen Steny Hoyer (MD), Charlie Rangel (NY), Elijah Cummings (MD), John Lewis (GA), Alan Grayson (FL), Nita Lowey (NY), Joseph Kennedy III (MA) and Jan Schakowsky (IL), hardly a group of "GOP Hawks."
The letter says that "In reviewing such an agreement, Congress must be convinced that its terms foreclose any pathway to a bomb, and only then will Congress be able to consider permanent sanctions relief."
While the world is waiting to see how this potential Iranian deal might affect the balance of power in the Middle East, it is clear that President Obama is pushing ahead, using all the tools at his disposal to sell this deal. But what's not so clear is whether his tactics, and those of the Iranian leaders, will prevail.

Did you know that there is a gay friendly Bible that even addresses certain passages once viewed as anti–gay? Well there is one. For those that are LGBT and still a follower of the Christian Faith, can now buy the Queen James version of the bible available on Amazon's website and it's drawing some attention form all sides. The purpose of this alternatie version is to address "long-standing interpretive ambiguity in key Bible passages regarding homosexuality".
The new goodbook states on their website that basically it's okay to have this revision since homosexua;lity does not eppear in the current English version until the mid 20th century.
Of course this has not gone unnoticed to the religious zealots who are alredy condemning the revised bible saying that it is only created to promote the homosexual agenda. But I would counter that since NO ONE takes the Bible literally for every single passage or scripture (even though some claim that they do), that everyone uses it for their own interpretation and purposes.

Pakistan's Hindu women hope for protection in new law
ISLAMABAD - Sapna Gobia is busy preparing for her wedding in Pakistan in a few weeks. In many ways, her wedding will follow traditions passed down through generations, with the bride and groom circling a sacred fire lit by their families.
But unlike the marriage of her parents, Gobia's will be formalized by a government certificate under a new Hindu marriage law.
The 25-year-old will be one of millions of women from Pakistan's Hindu minority who now have the right to a certificate establishing her marital status under the Hindu Marriage Act 2017 that was signed into law on March 19.
"We Hindu girls and married women have lived in the shadow of constant fear ... of being kidnapped, forced to abandon our faith and convert and re-married forcibly to someone not from our faith," said Gobia, a graduate in English literature from a government college in the town of Dharaki in southern Pakistan.
She hopes the new marriage law will help prevent such incidents of kidnapping of Hindu minority women and their forced conversion to other faiths for bigamous, forced marriages.
"With our marriages now legally registered with government authority ... no one could be able to stop us and our husbands from proving our marital status," Gobia told the Thomson Reuters Foundation.
"More importantly, bigamy has now been termed an unlawful and punishable crime in the new law - that is a big relief."
Since partition from India in 1947, and the creation of Pakistan as a separate state for Muslims, marriages of the Hindu minority of 30 million were not officially recognized, leaving Hindu women without protection under the law.


Zelda Therapeutics (ASX:ZLD) has expanded its previously announced research collaboration with Curtin University.
The company said the expansion will focus on in vivo animal studies to investigate the effect of a range of its formulations in combination with existing chemotherapy agents abraxane and gemcitabine.
It added treatment protocols will closely mirror typical standard of care protocols utilised by oncologists in treating patients with pancreatic cancer.
"There is a growing body of evidence that whole plant cannabinoid extracts can impede cancer growth and potentially render the tumour more responsive to chemotherapeutic agents," said the company.
Pancreatic cancer is the 12th most common cancer globally and has a low five-year survival rate. In Australia, it is estimated there are around 3,000 new diagnoses each year.

SK On signed a business agreement with EcoPro, a secondary cell battery materials company, and Green Eco Manufacture (hereinafter GEM), a Chinese battery precursors producer, to establish a corporation for nickel intermediates production in Indonesia.
Vice President of EcoPro Park Sang-wook, GEM Vice-Minister Jiang Miao, and SK On Head of Battery Procurement Division Shin Young-kee attended the opening ceremony.
Under the agreement, the three companies will build a "Ni Mixed Hydroxide Precipitate (hereinafter MHP)" production plant in the Morowali Industrial Complex in Sulawesi, Indonesia, and produce MHP amounting to 30,000 tons of pure nickel per year starting the third quarter of 2024. The production amount is equivalent to 43 GWh of the EV battery, which is enough to produce 600,000 EVs. The three companies plan to expand cooperation in raw materials such as battery precursors and nickel.
They also plan to secure nickel oxide at the Hengjaya mine in Sulawesi. Since nickel oxide can be mined in the open air, the mining process is less expensive, and cobalt can be obtained as by-products.
In addition, the three companies will introduce High-Pressure Acid Leaching (HPAL) smelting process to produce the MHP from nickel oxide minerals. The three companies are also considering producing nickel sulfate, and battery precursors in Korea based on the MHP secured through this occasion. If SK On procures the nickel sulfate from South Korea (an FTA partner with the U.S.) and puts it into the EV battery production process in the U.S., it may meet the IRA electric vehicle subsidies requirements.
Along with lithium and cobalt, nickel is considered an essential raw material for EV batteries.
SK On has strengthened its supply chain for core battery materials such as lithium and cobalt. This month, it signed a long-term lithium supply contract with Chile's SQM, a leading lithium company, and agreed to supply 57,000 tons over five years starting in 2023. Last month, SK On invested a 10% stake in Lake Resources in Australia and signed a mid-to-long-term contract to be supplied 230,000 tons of lithium over ten years starting the fourth quarter of 2024.
In addition, the battery business has cooperated with several companies for raw materials, such as Global Lithium Resources (Australia), Glencore (Switzerland), and POSCO Holdings.
"The cooperation between the three companies is significant in that they established a global nickel supply chain," said Shin Young-kee, Head of Battery Procurement Division at SK On. "SK On plans to further strengthen its raw material supply chain by cooperating with different raw material companies."
"We decided on the joint venture after close discussions with SK On and GEM at a time when the supply and demand of global nickel remained uncertain in the mid-to-long-term," said Park Sang-wook, Vice President of EcoPro. "This business agreement is even more meaningful because it is based on trust among the three companies."

Russia, Ukraine in High-Level Talks After Hospital Attack Sparks Fury
By Dave Clark and Dmitry Zaks for AFP
A local official said the strike on the recently refurbished maternity hospital, which included a pediatric unit, wounded at least 17 staff. Screenshot / Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskiy's Telegram channel
The foreign ministers of Russia and Ukraine held their first face-to-face talks Thursday after two weeks of war, amid international outrage over Moscow's bombing of a children's hospital that Kyiv says killed three people, including a young girl.
But Ukraine's Dmytro Kuleba said they had made "no progress" on a ceasefire, 14 days after Russia invaded its pro-Western neighbor, triggering a conflict that has caused 2.2 million refugees to flee across Ukraine's borders.
However, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Moscow wanted to continue negotiations with Ukraine.
"I want to repeat that Ukraine has not surrendered, does not surrender, and will not surrender," Kuleba told reporters after meeting Lavrov on the sidelines of a diplomatic forum in the southern Turkish resort of Antalya.
Previous lower-level talks in Belarus had produced several attempts to get civilians out of cities, many of which have failed after so-called humanitarian corridors came under attack.
Meanwhile, Russian forces neared Kyiv on Thursday, with tanks just a few kilometers (miles) from the limits of the Ukrainian capital in some places, raising fears it could soon be encircled.
Ukraine: As It's Happening
Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said 35,000 civilians had managed to flee cities under Russian attack on Wednesday.
But there was little relief in the southern port city of Mariupol, where the mayor said over 1,200 civilians had died in nine days of continuous shelling that have left residents without water, heat or communications.
Zelenskiy shared video footage showing massive destruction at the children's and maternity hospital in Mariupol, blaming Russia for an attack he said was a "war crime".
Local officials said Thursday that at least three people were killed, including a young girl. Officials had previously said 17 people were injured, including doctors.
'Barbaric' attack
Zelenskiy had said the "direct strike by Russian troops" had left children under the wreckage.
Russia's Foreign Ministry on Wednesday did not deny the attack but accused Ukrainian "nationalist battalions" of using the hospital to set up firing positions after moving out staff and patients.
Lavrov reiterated the claim on Thursday.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said it would ask the Russian military for details, "since we don't have clear information about what happened there."
Video shared from the site by rescue workers showed a scene of complete devastation, with the wounded being evacuated, some on stretchers, past charred and burning carcasses of cars and a massive crater by the building.
Inside, debris, shattered glass and splintered wood littered corridors, administrative offices and bedrooms, with mattresses thrown from their frames.
The White House slammed the "barbaric" use of force against civilians, while British Prime Minister Boris Johnson called the attack "depraved".
And there was no let-up in the violence overnight, with officials in Sumy in the northeast reporting two women and a 13-year-old boy were killed in bombing in the Velyka Pysarivka region.
He said a petrol depot and a residential area had also been hit in the area where heavy fighting has been taking place.
'The Russian tanks are over there'
The Ukrainian General Staff meanwhile said Russian forces were continuing their "offensive operation" to encircle Kyiv, while pressing attacks on a string of other cities across the country.
At a deserted service station on a motorway northeast of the city, a Ukrainian officer warned vehicles not to go any further on Wednesday.
"The Russian tanks are just over there, two kilometers away," he told one car, ordering it to turn round and go back.
"Drive in a zig-zag to avoid their shots," he advised.
On Wednesday, at least 35,000 civilians were able to leave the cities of Sumy, Enerhodar and areas around Kyiv, Zelensky said.
He said he hoped the evacuations would continue on Thursday with three more routes set to open out of Mariupol, Volnovakha in the southeast and Izium in eastern Ukraine.
Russia's war has sent around 2.2 million refugees across Ukraine's borders in what the United Nations has called Europe's fastest-growing refugee crisis since World War II.
The conflict has raised fears of a nuclear accident in a country with major nuclear plants and the site of the Chernobyl disaster.
The UN's atomic watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency, said Wednesday it saw "no critical impact on safety" at Chernobyl, location of the world's worst nuclear disaster in 1986, despite a loss of power there.
But it warned it was not receiving updates from either Chernobyl or Zaporizhzhia, Europe's largest nuclear plant, which is also now under Russian control.
U.S. aid passes House
The United States meanwhile rejected Russian claims that it was involved in bioweapons research in Ukraine, and warned Russia could be preparing to use chemical or biological weapons in the war.
Washington has strongly backed Ukraine, leading the push for tough international sanctions and sending weapons and other aid.
But it has ruled out enforcing a no-fly zone and rejected a Polish plan to transfer fighter jets via a U.S. air base for fear of being drawn into the conflict directly.
Washington has however beefed up defences in Poland, where it said Wednesday it was sending two new surface-to-air missile batteries.
And Britain said it was preparing to send more portable missile systems to help Ukraine, in addition to more than 3,000 anti-tank weapons sent so far, while Canada pledged an additional $50 million of military equipment.
The U.S. House of Representatives green-lit a spending package including nearly $14 billion for Ukraine and allies in eastern Europe. It will now need to be rubber-stamped by the Senate.
The International Monetary Fund has also approved a $1.4-billion emergency package for Kyiv to provide "critical financial support."
Western nations and allies are also trying to squeeze Moscow with unprecedented sanctions.
British Foreign Secretary Liz Truss on Wednesday urged the entire G7 to ban Russian oil imports, saying the world's top economies should "go further and faster" in punishing Moscow for invading Ukraine.
But some nations are wary, with French Economy Minister Bruno Le Maire warning the current spike in energy prices could produce effects comparable to the 1973 oil shock.

Divorce | Stein & Stein, Ltd.
The act of ending a marriage or a civil union is commonly referred to as a divorce, or a dissolution of marriage. This process can be affected by a variety of factors, including the level of acrimony, the complexity involved in valuing certain assets such as closely held business interests, issues relating to children, mental health and substance abuse.
Regardless of these variables, a divorce in Illinois is typically started by the filing of a Petition for Dissolution of Marriage followed by the filing of an appearance and a response by the other party. Once a case is filed, there are only two ways to resolve the case: through a contested bench trial, or through a negotiated agreement on all issues. Early in the case, it is important to gather information, both through the informal exchange of information between the lawyers and through the formal court process including requests for production of documents, interrogatories, subpoenas and depositions.
Stein & Stein offers decades of experience in both negotiating and litigating complex divorce and family law cases, and can offer an expert approach and guiding hand to proceedings which are unfamiliar but very important to the parties. In cases where a martial estate has a high net worth, a more unique and tailored approach is necessary, and our dedicated team of litigators is extremely well-versed in this area. Regardless of the particular facts of your case, you can rest assured that Stein & Stein has the knowledge, ability and experience to effectively and efficiently achieve the best result available.

'Aquarius' review: NBC's David Duchovny series not a promising sign
David Duchovny as Sam Hodiak in a scene from the episode, "Home is Where You're Happy," from the new NBC television series, "Aquarius." Duchovny plays a Los Angeles police detective working a case involving Charles Manson. Photo Credit: AP, NBC / Vivian Zink
By VERNE GAY verne.gay@newsday.com @vernejgay Updated May 27, 2015 4:22 PM
THE SERIES "Aquarius"
WHEN|WHERE Premieres Thursday at 9 p.m. on NBC/4; All 13 episodes begin streaming Thursday on NBC.com
WHAT IT'S ABOUT Los Angeles, 1967, and Charles Manson (Gethin Anthony, "Game of Thrones") has begun to assemble the group of young women who in time will be known as his "Family." One of them, Emma Karn (Emma Dumont), daughter of a prominent GOP attorney, has gone missing. Her mother, Grace (Michaela McManus), calls an old friend to help locate her: Sam Hodiak (David Duchovny). A decorated World War II vet, this play-by-his-own-rules LAPD detective is out of step with the rebellious younger generation, and so conscripts a couple of 'em -- fellow cops Brian Shafe (Grey Damon) and Charmain Tully (Claire Holt) -- to infiltrate the cult. In addition to the telecast, NBC is releasing the entire series, with commercials, Thursday on NBC.com.
MY SAY Right this minute or next week? Today or tomorrow? Now or never? We, as charter members of TV's pick-and-choose generation, can watch what we want, when we want, and pretty much demand that we do. (That's why "on demand" is called "on demand.") This alone absolutely makes "Aquarius" the gaudiest -- or trendiest -- idea to come out of one of the major broadcast networks this year: Skip work! Watch immediately! (Then tell your friends how crazy Charlie Manson really becomes by the 13th episode, just as they are settling in for the regular broadcast premiere Thursday night.)
But -- please -- don't skip work and certainly don't be tempted by the need-to-know-now impulse that besets so many Netflix (and Amazon Prime) subscribers when the latest newcomer arrives on those services. "Aquarius" may be a compelling network departure (or experiment), but not necessarily a compelling show: Indeed, with feet of clay, "Aquarius" plods relentlessly toward a climax everyone already knows, while making just enough fictional detours to make the journey truly exasperating.
How much of this is based on "fact" and how much is based on baloney? Never explained, but there appears to be enough of the latter to make a generous sandwich. Certainly no LAPD detective named Sam Hodiak tried to infiltrate the Manson Family with a Mod Squad of highly telegenic fellow detectives who knew how to crack "the hippie code." That's the fiction part, which would be fine, or tolerable (or less Aaron Spelling-ish) if it added something to the "story" part, or the "character development" one. My search for both lasted four episodes (NBC sent out 13 episodes) and that was more than enough plodding for one day.

The resurgence in the popularity of vinyl sales is leading to the opening of more shops dedicated to people who want new and used records.
One of the latest to open for business is Scratch the Surface in Chippenham, Wiltshire, which is selling records dating from the 1920s to the current music charts. The shop also has an antique and vintage section in its two-room premises.
Whatever type of shop you are considering opening, making sure you have the right business insurance in place should be an important part of your business planning. In addition to your general insurance policy you should also look at retail insurance to cover the sector that you operate in.
Record sales is again a growing business. A vinyl chart was launched last year and Tesco has even started to stock vinyl records again. Many record fans, however, enjoy the opportunity to root around independent shops and like to buy second hand records as well as new copies.
Scratch the Surface owner told the Gazette and Herald: "We sell pretty much everything, we're the hidden gem in Chippenham.
"We have always been very much into our music, we buy and sell quite a lot of different vinyls and as the records have become available to us, we have built quite a used collection.
He said that popularity of the medium meant that records are now being talked about on BBC soap EastEnders, and older people who were once record-buyers are now bringing their old albums and turntables down from the loft.
Official figures show that vinyl sales were the fastest growing music format in 2014. However, it is still a niche area with records accounting for two per cent of music sales.

As the season draws to a close with three final games, the Texas Stars concentrated on finishing their schedule the right way against San Antonio. They accomplished that mission tonight with a close 4-3 victory over the visiting Rampage.
"Both teams want to finish the season the right way," said head coach Derek Laxdal. "We want to get close to finishing at .500. If we can finish with 2-3 wins, it makes it a little bit better."
The Stars and Rampage alike put a number of young players into the lineup for the contest, and they made impacts. Ondrej Vala, Nick Caamano and Reid Sturos all laced them up for Texas, putting another useful notch in their belt on the way to their pro career ahead.
"It's all about experience for these kids. This is a chance for the kids to develop and get them a step in that process. Vala is 18 years old, and he looked like a veteran defenseman out there. Caamano didn't look out of place on the PP and PK. When you get these chances, it really helps your development."
San Antonio did get the first goal of the contest, but the Stars battled back with two of their own. Gemel Smith rainbowed a goal over Joe Cannata to end the first period, and Matt Mangene scored on the power play to take the lead in the second.
Smith was one of the five players sent down from Dallas playing in tonight's game. He and Denis Gurianov both scored in the contest.
Jason Dickinson, who was one of those five, expanded, "[Playing in the NHL] brings a little bit more confidence. The little things they do. The game is so tight up there and there's very little space to make plays. That's the big thing to translate [to the AHL] is to make those little area plays they make up there."
The Rampage would even the score at two on a power play of their own. It was a 5-on-3 tally that Texas almost made it through. The tie didn't last long. A deft tip off the stick of Cole Ully found twine for the 3-2 Texas lead.
Denis Gurianov scored on a rebound in the third period to extend the lead to two. It was his 11th of the season. Laxdal noted particularly on their play, "It shows the next wave of kids getting ready for Dallas. They played well and did a great job generating the goal. It's good to have them back in the lineup."
Reid Petryk would score to make it a one-goal game late. The Stars held tight with players like Caamano on the penalty kill. A late game PK featured Caamano, Gavin Bayreuther, Denis Gurianov and Mangene. It was a youth infusion.
Justin Peters finished the contest with 24 saves on 27 shots. These two clubs face off twice more to end the season. Friday in San Antonio is the penultimate matchup.

AHL Gamesheet - Texas v. San Antonio - April 12 2017


We all know that SIP technology provides ample benefits and opportunities for the user to save money whilst increasing productivity. However, these types of systems also create more opportunities for fraud attacks. As SIP technology becomes more widely adopted, fraud threats have grown as well. The key to preventing this is to closely monitor a CSP network — the last thing you want is your system to be hacked when you want to keep the business profitable.
Some flaws exploited by fraudsters relate specifically to SIP and IP while a wide number of other fraud scenarios are more general in nature. It is important for CSPs to pay attention to both aspects and ensure that they have put all the necessary controls in place to keep their operations safe and secure.

Interviewing? Don't let them common mistakes cost you.
While there are so many mistakes one can make in the interview process, and while often not intentional, there are ways you can consciously address them from the start.
Candidates and interviewers are human, and while we all make mistakes, the more you prepare, the better the chances of an offer.
1 – Failure to research the position, or interviewers to understand their backgrounds, and/or the company's services/offerings. It is important to do some research, and understand, to the best of your abilities, what you are walking into. Finding some commonalities, or something that truly interests you, to facilitate broader discussions in an interview can create a more conversational experience, and make things more comfortable for everyone.
2 – Expressing excitement or energy during the interviews (phone, face to face or video) – people want to work with others who are excited to do the work, and who bring a level of passion to the role, so expressing this can be very important. Appearing too stoic, or not smiling, or enjoying the conversation can create an impression of dis-interest. Smile, converse, ask questions, and express the passion you have for doing the job/duties can go a long way.
3 – Inability to relate past experience to the position at hand. Simply explaining what you have done in the past, without relating it to the needs of the interviewer/company can create a disconnect. If the past experience isn't (at first glance) directly applicable to the current role, explain how it can apply. Explain how your previous experience in customer service has created an ability in you to be patient, listen and work to understand the needs of the customer or stakeholder in the role. How you are able to speak to business persons of all levels, from upper management to client and so on. Not all experience will be directly apparent, but how you explain can help tremendously.
Despite the industry or type of position you are interviewing for, these mistakes are fairly common and easily avoidable. To set yourself up for success, and create a memorable experience for all involved, these are a things you can control in the interview and job search process.
