This feature allows you to encrypt the communication between your device and our server, by using the SIP-TLS (Transport Layer Security) and SRTP (Secure Real-Time Transport Protocol) protocol.
This adds a security layer when the packets are being transmitted between you and our server, it encapsulates and encrypt the transmission. In other words, when your device is configured with this encryption method, your device asks to our server a dedicated certificate to establish a trust and fully secure communication from each part.
Once encrypted calls are enabled for your account or sub account, the SIP-TLS and SRTP must be used. Your account or sub account will no longer be able to use regular SIP communication method.
Note: If enabled, all the SIP traffic will be encrypted for the main account.
Please note that if encrypted calls are enabled then you need to configure your device to make and receive encrypted calls.
1)	You may also activate this feature on a sub account. You need to navigate through the navigation bar and select "Sub Accounts" > "Manage Sub accounts".
2)	In the column "Actions" click on the edit button , for the row of the sub account you need to activate this feature.
Note: If enabled, all SIP traffic calls will be encrypted for this sub account.
Once you have activated the feature on your main account/sub account, you need to configure your SIP client.
On some devices, you will have to configure some settings to enable the SIP-TLS communication method. In your settings you must select TLS as your transport protocol and activate media encryption or SRTP* as Mandatory*. Without mandatory media encryption*, this would result in a call rejection with the SIP error 488.
Some technical considerations that you need to know for using this feature. Please take note, when using encrypted calls with a server, you must always use the server name with a number at the end. For example, you must use chicago1.voip.ms instead of chicago.voip.ms.
This also applies to cities with only one server. For example, you select the POP server london.voip.ms in the portal, but write london1.voip.ms when you configure your Devices, Softphones or PBXs.
*The configuration and the terminology may vary from each device/PBX.
*Take note; some SIP clients do not support the call encryption, in some cases is a paid feature, or is available only in the paid version.
Some old systems/devices require to configure the certificate manually. In case is needed, please contact technical support via live chat or email to support@voip.ms (from the email address associated to your account), requesting the client certificate and advising the SIP server.
To know more about that, please refer to the device configuration page or your device manual.
When your device is fully registered by using SIP-TLS protocol, you will be able to see the registration status in the portal Home page "Main menu" > "Portal Home" for each account/sub account registered or in "Sub Accounts" > "Manage Sub accounts" tab to see all of your Sub Accounts registration status.
A green padlock will appears on the right of "Registered" in green. If you don't see the padlock, you need to revalidate some configuration.
It has been confirmed that ATA Obi100 does not support encrypted calls.

Q: Json.net doesn't populate properties with default values when defined in the constructor While migrating from JSON.Net 6 to latest version (9.0.1), I noticed a change of behavior regarding how DefaultValueHandling.Populate & IgnoreAndPopulate are handled during deserialization. With latest version, the Json property is initialized to null instead of its default value after deserialization.
Here is a simple test to reproduce the issue:
private class MyTestClass
{
    public const string DefaultText = "...";

    [DefaultValue(DefaultText)]
    [JsonProperty(PropertyName = "myText", DefaultValueHandling = DefaultValueHandling.Populate)]
    public readonly string Text;

    public MyTestClass(string text = DefaultText)
    {
        Text = text;
    }
}

[Test]
public void DumbTest()
{
    MyTestClass myObject = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<MyTestClass>("{}"); // Fail with version 9.0.1
    Assert.AreEqual(MyTestClass.DefaultText, myObject.Text);
}

This happens because the constructor's argument name matches the property name. Therefore Json.net is now considering it as initialized by the constructor and is no longer applying the "default value handling" rule. This seems to come from this update of the library : link.
Renaming the constructor's argument name to not match the propertie's name fixes my issue but it doesn't seem like a clean solution. Is there some configuration attribute I am missing (or cleaner way around)? I need the constructor because I want to be able to create the object myself (not from JSON).

A: I was able to reproduce the change from Json 6.0.8 to 9.0.1.  It appears that JsonSerializerInternalReader.CreateObjectUsingCreatorWithParameters() now checks for the presence of the [DefaultValue(DefaultText)] and [JsonProperty(DefaultValueHandling = DefaultValueHandling.Populate)] attributes on the constructor parameter rather than the corresponding property.  This check is made around line 1979:
if (HasFlag(constructorProperty.DefaultValueHandling.GetValueOrDefault(Serializer._defaultValueHandling), DefaultValueHandling.Populate))
{
    context.Value = EnsureType(
        reader,
        constructorProperty.GetResolvedDefaultValue(),
        CultureInfo.InvariantCulture,
        constructorProperty.PropertyContract,
        constructorProperty.PropertyType);
}

Thus you can deserialize your type successfully by modifying the constructor as follows:
class MyTestClass
{
    public const string DefaultText = "...";

    [DefaultValue(DefaultText)]
    [JsonProperty(PropertyName = "myText", DefaultValueHandling = DefaultValueHandling.Populate)]
    public readonly string Text;

    public MyTestClass([JsonProperty(DefaultValueHandling = DefaultValueHandling.Populate), DefaultValue(DefaultText)] string text = DefaultText)
    {
        Text = text;
    }
}

I'm not sure if this is an intentional or unintentional change.  You might want to report an issue to ask.  Or perhaps you already have?
Update
As another workaround, you could give your type a private parameterless constructor that sets the default value correctly, and mark it with [JsonConstructor]:
class MyTestClass
{
    public const string DefaultText = "...";

    [DefaultValue(DefaultText)]
    [JsonProperty(PropertyName = "myText", DefaultValueHandling = DefaultValueHandling.Populate)]
    public readonly string Text;

    [JsonConstructor]
    MyTestClass()
        : this(DefaultText)
    {
    }

    public MyTestClass(string text = DefaultText)
    {
        Text = text;
    }
}

Json.NET will now call the private parameterless constructor, then correctly set the value for the readonly field Text through reflection, since it has been marked with [JsonProperty].  (Or even make the parameterless constructor public and make the parameter to the second constructor non-optional.)

We were watching 'Troy' on TV3 tonight and I swear by God's name, I have not watched this entire movie before. So naturally, I did not recognize the characters in the movie. Naturally.
How could I NOT REMEMBER a character if I've watched this movie before??? I know sometimes I forget stuffs, but it can't be that bad that I forgot the entire story line of a movie I watched before?
He insisted that we watched this movie together, during one of my date trips to KL. But, I was not convinced totally. I can't have forgotten ALL scenes in the movie!


While there is no one single food or diet that can prevent or cause breast cancer, diet is an area in which individual choices can make a real difference.
Breast cancer is a complex disease with many contributing factors. Some of these factors, such as age, family history, genetics, and gender, cannot be controlled.
However, there are factors that individuals can control, which include smoking, not exercising, being overweight, and their diet. Some researchers maintain that diet could be responsible for 30 to 40 percent of all cancers.
Breast cancer can start in different places, grow in different ways, and require different kinds of treatment. Just as certain cancers respond better to certain treatments, certain cancers respond well to specific foods.
A variety of fruits and vegetables is important for a healthful diet but may also help to prevent breast cancer.
A study of more than 91,000 women found that following a diet comprising mainly plants could cut the risk of developing breast cancer by 15 percent. The Ida & Joseph Friend Cancer Center recommend between 8 and 10 servings of fruits and vegetables per day.
Although research into dietary fiber and its effect on breast cancer is currently inconclusive, several studies suggest that it can help protect against the disease. Because fiber supports the digestive system and regular elimination of waste, it helps the body to get rid of toxins and limits the damage they can do.
Whole grains and legumes also contain antioxidants, which can help to prevent many diseases. Eating more fiber-rich legumes, such as lentils, has also been associated with a reduced risk of breast cancer. The Ida & Joseph Friend Cancer Center recommend 30 to 45 grams of fiber per day.
Dietary fiber supplements are available for purchase online.
Fat might seem an unlikely candidate for a list of good foods for breast cancer prevention, but polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats have been called the "good fats." They are found in olive oil, avocados, seeds, and nuts.
Additionally, omega-3 fatty acids, found in cold water fish such as salmon and herring, have been linked to a reduced risk of breast cancer. Many experts recommend a diet in which around 20 to 30 percent of daily calories are from fat, with no more than 8 percent of total calories from saturated fat.
Omega-3 supplements are available for purchase online.
Extensive research over the past 25 years has identified soy as an extremely healthful food source, rich in protein, healthy fat, vitamins, and minerals, but low in carbohydrates. In addition to reducing the risk of breast cancer, soy is also reported to reduce low-density lipoprotein, or "bad cholesterol," and lower the risk of heart disease.
Some studies have found that the health benefits of omega-3 fatty acids found in some fish might be due to its ability to reduce inflammation, a possible contributing factor for breast cancer.
Researchers suggest that fiber contributes to the prevention of breast cancer by helping the body eliminate estrogen. Many breast cancer treatments are designed to keep estrogen from interacting with breast cancer cells, so eating a high-fiber diet can support this process and accelerate the elimination of estrogen.
Beta-carotene, found in vegetables including carrots, has been associated with a lower risk of breast cancer. Scientists speculate that this may be because it interferes with the growth process of cancer cells.
As scientists continue to explore the impact of different foods on the risk of breast cancer, people are generally advised to cut down on alcohol, added sugar, fat, and red meat.
Studies have identified a link between regular alcohol consumption and an increased risk of breast cancer. Breastcancer.org report that alcohol may increase estrogen levels and cause damage to DNA cells. They also note that women who drink three alcoholic beverages per week increase their risk of developing breast cancer by 15 percent. The risk goes up by around 10 percent with each additional drink per day.
Researchers at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have found that when mice eat a diet as rich in sugar as the typical American diet, they are more likely to develop mammary gland tumors, similar to breast cancer in humans. In addition, these tumors are more likely to spread, or metastasize.
Not all fats are bad but trans fats found in processed and fried foods should be avoided.
Studies suggest that not all fats are bad. While fat from processed foods is linked to an increased risk of breast cancer, fat from fruits and vegetables is associated with a decrease in risk.
Trans fats have now been associated with an increased risk of breast cancer and should be avoided. Trans fats are most commonly found in processed food such as fried foods, some crackers, donuts, and packaged cookies or pastries.
Although research is ongoing, some studies have found a link between red meat and a greater likelihood of breast cancer, especially if the meat is "well done." In addition, processed meats and cold cuts tend to be high in fat, salt, and preservatives and are not considered effective food for breast cancer prevention.
Vitamin D from regular exposure to sunlight may help. Vitamin D is also found in foods such as eggs, cold-water fish, and fortified products. Consult a doctor to check levels and if they are low, consider a supplement.
Green tea is associated with a number of beneficial health effects, including strengthening the immune system and reduced risk of breast cancer.
Turmeric is a yellow spice that has been reported to have anti-inflammatory properties and may limit the growth of breast cancer cells.
Maintaining a healthy body weight is important for well-being in general, and particularly for those engaged in the fight against breast cancer, because obesity is a known risk factor for the disease.
Being physically active is as important as eating healthful food for breast cancer prevention. The National Cancer Institute report that women who exercise for 4 hours per week or longer have a lower risk of breast cancer.

Sally set to become hurricane and threaten U.S. Gulf Coast
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Tropical Storm Sally slowed down Sunday as it churned northward toward the U.S. Gulf Coast, increasing the risk of heavy rain and dangerous storm surge before an expected strike as a hurricane.
Forecasters from the National Hurricane Center in Miami said Sally is expected to become a hurricane on Monday and reach shore by early Tuesday, bringing dangerous weather conditions, including risk of flooding, to a region stretching from Morgan City, Louisiana, to Ocean Springs, Mississippi.
"That system is forecast to bring not only damaging winds but a dangerous storm surge," said Daniel Brown of the Hurricane Center. "Because it's slowing down it could produce a tremendous amount of rainfall over the coming days."
The system was moving west-northwest at 13 mph (20 kph) early Sunday. It was centered 140 miles (230 kilometers) west of Apalachicola, Florida, and 240 miles (385 kilometers) east-southeast of the mouth of the Mississippi River. On Sunday, Florida's Gulf Coast was battered with windy, wet weather.
Pensacola, on Florida's Panhandle, was bracing for 10 to 15 inches (25 to 38 centimeters) of rain.
Sally could produce rain totals up to 20 inches (51 centimeters) by the middle of the week, forecasters said. Its maximum sustained winds Sunday afternoon were 60 mph (95 kph).
This isn't the only storm in the Atlantic basin. Paulette gained hurricane status late Saturday and was expected to bring storm surge, coastal flooding and high winds to Bermuda, according to a U.S. National Hurricane Center advisory. Once a tropical storm, Rene was forecast to become a remnant low Monday. Tropical Depression Twenty was expected to strengthen this week and become a tropical storm by Tuesday, forecasters said.
"This week is essentially the peak of the hurricane season," said Brown. "It is quite active across the tropics today."
A mandatory evacuation has already been issued in Grand Isle, Louisiana, ahead of the storm. On Saturday, New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell issued a mandatory evacuation order for Orleans Parish residents living outside of the parish's levee protection system.
Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards was scheduled to give a news conference on the storm Sunday. He declared a state of emergency on Saturday.
A Hurricane Warning is in effect for Morgan City, Louisiana to Ocean Springs Mississippi, Lake Pontchartrain and Lake Maurepas, including metropolitan New Orleans. A Hurricane Watch is in effect for east of Ocean Springs to the Alabama/Florida border.
All northern Gulf Coast states are urging residents to prepare.
""It is likely that this storm system will be impacting Alabama's Gulf Coast. While it is currently not being predicted as a direct hit to our coastal areas, we know well that we should not take the threat lightly," said Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey. She urged residents to prepare and stay informed of the storm's path in the coming days.

Given the fundamental changes in the institutions of both work and family, the need to focus on the work-family interface is greater than ever. Most studies, however, examine this interface in terms of individuals and at only one point in time. The authors propose a coupled-careers model, based on a life course perspective, directly addressing the multiple interfaces between work and family and between men and women as they unfold over time. This approach challenges implicit assumptions and…

Lots of do not understand that Aromatherapy is not about with all the understanding of just how to combine the carrier oils, but also blending essential oils. Deciding on the carrier oil that is appropriate to the skincare treatment that is specific is vital. This is the reason the reason I recommend finds a course which would explain these things that are critical in their mind. Sadly Aromatherapy classes are a rehash of that which folks have reproduced of different individuals pages. This really can be a habit that is dangerous because information is readily attainable via the world wide web. When these are rosemary, most men and women believe its smell or odor that demonstrably facets into many Aromatherapy products, however, Aroma-therapy additionally has lots of applications in skincare too. Essential oils do not need to smell great, but they need to do the right for you. Lots of do not realize that the benefits that essential oils play at skin care's regimen. Treatments can be valuable for all sorts of skincare requirements. There are skin care treatments for sensitive skin,Healrun, dry skin, oily skin, skin, aging skin, Thread veins, and broken capillaries, eczema, and acne to list a couple where it is possible to learn just how to combine also the carrier oils which go together with them although important fats, if you would like to master how to look after your own body then you should invest at an aromatherapy class. In this way, you're going to soon be on the road to learning the methods for proper skincare remedies that are all-natural. Borage and wheat germ oil are quite thick and stronger smelling compared to one other oil said, but very good for this specific skin type therefore that it would have been a fantastic plan to use just a little quantity with them to a pleasant smelling carrier oil such as Sweet Almond oil or apricot-kernel. We will need to pick the penetrating oil in addition to the carrier oil Whenever selecting essential oils. Lots of do not understand since might be the essential oil that they have been going for that the carrier petroleum that's employed to diffuse essential oils are necessary with their skin care plan. It has to be noticed that the dilution rate for skincare oils to the face area is substantially lower than you'd use in case you made a tub acrylic. An aromatherapy class will teach all these rules to you.If alternatively, we're also making a skincare treatment for aging skin afterward we'd work with an alternative carrier oil, such as Jojoba, Apricot Kernel, day Primrose, Peach Kernel, Rosehip Seed, Sweet Almond, Avocado, Hazelnut, Borage or wheat-germ.
The essential Oils we'd utilize for skin, and a skincare treatment for Aging Skin and Dry skin could comprise of oils that are unique compared to we used to your Oily. In cases like this, we can select from some oils that are great. For the purposes let us choose Geranium, Patchouli, and carrot seed. (I prefer to use Rose Geranium while the odor is more agreeable for my tastes). In 1 3 teaspoons of Apricot Kernel Oil or Sweet Almond oil 1 tsp of Borage Oil would be added by us plus one tsp of wheat germ oil attract our Carrier oil base's total. Afterward, we'd add two drops of Geranium, inch dip of Patchouli and inch drop Carrot Seed Oil. Blend well before employing this and warm. You have made your facial therapy. Congratulations! By way of instance, we wouldn't opt for a thick oil like wheat germ or borage oil when we were building a skin care recipe for greasy skin. However, if we're making your skin care treatment for aging or dry skin afterward, it would be convenient really. Oils for Skin Care could contain oils at a store oil of Grapeseed oil like Lavender Tea Tree, Lemon, and Geranium. Toner for oily or acne skin would-be witch-hazel that may have astringent qualities or Orange Flower Water. Hence a skin care recipe for Acne is to combine one drop of Lavender 1 drop of Tea Tree Oil, one drop of Lemon plus one drop of Geranium into 1-5 ml of Grapeseed oil. By rotating the jar of the mixture between our fingers, We'd then heat the acrylic on. The petroleum won't just heat but help mix the critical oils. Oils usually do not shake; they are blended by us. Aromatherapy has been used all over the ages for the properties. In the Bible it mentions before she came ahead of the King, Queen Esther used 12 weeks of beauty treatments. (Esther 2:12) This wonder treatment comprised baths in petroleum and Myrrh.

Facebook, Twitter dismantle global array of disinformation networks
LONDON/WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Facebook and Twitter said on Thursday they had taken down more than a dozen disinformation networks used by political and state-backed groups in multiple countries to deceive users on their platforms.
In separate statements, the two companies said they had identified and suspended more than 3,500 accounts between them, which used fake identities and other deceptive behaviors to spread false or misleading information.
The networks targeted users in a wide selection of countries, including the United States where officials have warned that foreign governments are attempting to influence the outcome of November's presidential election.
After coming under heavy fire for failing to stop alleged Russian efforts to sway the 2016 U.S. election, Facebook and Twitter have announced a string of high-profile takedowns in the weeks leading up to this year's presidential vote.
In multiple cases, the social media companies have worked with U.S. law enforcement to track and dismantle political influence campaigns targeting U.S. voters which have been attributed to foreign states, most notably Iran and Russia.
Tehran and Moscow have repeatedly denied the allegations.
The takedowns announced on Thursday covered networks with a global reach far beyond the U.S. election. The operations targeted Internet users in at least 16 other countries ranging from Azerbaijan to Nigeria and Japan, Facebook and Twitter said.
Twitter said the five networks it had suspended were separately linked to groups with ties to the governments of Iran, Saudi Arabia, Cuba, Thailand and Russia.
"Our goal with these disclosures is to continue to build public understanding around the ways in which state actors try to abuse and undermine open democratic conversation," the company said in a statement.
Facebook said it had found 10 networks, some of which it had previously identified publicly. The networks were predominantly tied to political groups who targeted domestic audiences, it said, including the Myanmar military and the youth wing of Azerbaijan's ruling party.
"Deceptive campaigns like these raise particularly complex issues by blurring the line of a healthy public debate and manipulation," said Nathaniel Gleicher, Facebook's head of cybersecurity policy.
Facebook also banned a U.S. marketing firm named Rally Forge, which it said had worked with conservative activism organization Turning Point USA and a self-proclaimed environmental body called Inclusive Conservation Group.
Accounts controlled by Rally Forge attempted to influence public conversations around news events by flooding the comments section of news articles from prominent outlets, Facebook said.
The Washington Post has reported that Turning Point USA was responsible for a "spam-like" political messaging campaign, which pumped out 4,500 tweets containing identical content. At the time, Twitter suspended 20 accounts and Facebook said it would investigate the activity.
Turning Point said the allegations related to a separate entity. "The mistake has been flagged with Facebook's communication team," it said in a statement.
Messages left with Rally Forge and its Phoenix area-based president, Jake Hoffman, were not immediately returned. Reuters was unable to reach representatives for Inclusive Conservation Group.

"Sut Jhally's lecture on advertising is a passionate and provocative call for the industry to rethink its destructive strategies in the name of capitalist "progress." His lectures and films are a unique example of criticism that might be called a postmodernism of resistance. Sut Jhally is a contemporary David who dares to take on a Goliath -- the media which have too much power in shaping our lives and our political choices."
Joan del Plato, Professor, Simon's Rock College
"Sut Jhally engages his audiences in critical thinking. By challenging assumptions, he dispels myths surrounding race, explores America's discomfort with class, and reveals the underpinnings of gender. Time spent with Sut is time well spent. He broadens our minds, engages our senses, and ultimately broadens the lens through which we view society and culture."
Zinta Konrad, Professor, College of Dupage
"Students and faculty have been talking about Prof. Jhally's presentation ever since he visited us. Already known on campus through his earlier work, he managed to pack a large lecture hall on a Friday afternoon and deliver a talk that engaged everyone from professors to first year students. He was accessible, sophisticated, and left us all with a new way of seeing the media and the world around us. The discussion of media, gender, and masculinity at our campus was raised to a higher level."
Tom Streeter, Professor, University of Vermont
"A compelling speaker, Sut Jhally pulls into focus some of the most important issues defining the U.S. and its place in the world. Whether speaking about media representations of women or African Americans or about the links between advertising, capitalism, the environment, community responsibility and individualism, Professor Jhally's analyses are bold, lucid, provocative and uncompromising. They invite discussion and action."
Professor Jan Welsch, Western Illinois University
"Dr. Jhally is extraordinarily gifted at pinpointing issues and topics which are of critical importance to college students today. Through his films, lectures and informal interactions with students, he is able prompt them to question normative assumptions, connect their learning to their own lives, and inspire them to take action toward social justice. His lectures are lively, interactive, visually and intellectually stimulating and--above all--lastingly memorable. If you want someone to make a major impact and to keep students and faculty thinking and discussing the lecture for weeks afterwards, invite Sut Jhally to your campus! His thought-provoking and dynamic lectures will be transformative for all involved"

Mashable: Google Pixel 4's face unlock on KingsChat Web
Google Pixel 4's face unlock will get more secure but not straight away The Pixel 4 and 4 XL are Google's first smartphones to have a face unlocking security feature similar to Apple's Face ID, but they have a pretty glaring omission — the phone can be unlocked by scanning the owner's face when you're asleep, which obviously isn't very secure. Now, according to The Verge, Google has promised to fix the issue, albeit the timeline is quite loose: "in the coming months." Unlike the new Pixels, Apple's iPhones have a toggle for this, allowing you to set whether you want the phone to require your attention — meaning your eyes have to be open and looking at the screen — or not.

/ Fact, Fiction And MSM Credibility: North Korea Still Building Missiles?
Fact, Fiction And MSM Credibility: North Korea Still Building Missiles?
Let's dissect the story behind the headlines: Wake up and smell the bull!
Reading the following story from the Washington Post, I thought it to be an ideal candidate for Uncensored's magnifying glass. Here's some excerpts and my comments.
U.S. spy agencies: North Korea is working on new missiles
U.S. spy agencies are seeing signs that North Korea is constructing new missiles at a factory that produced the country's first intercontinental ballistic missiles capable of reaching the United States, according to officials familiar with the intelligence.
Newly obtained evidence, including satellite photos taken in recent weeks, indicates that work is underway on at least one and possibly two liquid-fueled ICBMs at a large research facility in Sanumdong, on the outskirts of Pyongyang, according to the officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe classified intelligence.
.."according to officials familiar with the intelligence…who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe classified intelligence."
Which officials? Familiar with what intelligence from what source?
If it's classified then they are breaking the law by describing it. However considering the total and utter lack of substance or veracity, I'd say it hardly matters.
The reports about new missile construction come after recent revelations about a suspected uranium-enrichment facility, called Kangson, that North Korea is operating in secret. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo acknowledged during Senate testimony last week that North Korean factories "continue to produce fissile material" used in making nuclear weapons. He declined to say whether Pyongyang is building new missiles.
"Suspected". Not proven. "declined to say". Either doesn't actually know or doesn't want to admit that they aren't.
Many analysts and independent experts, however, see that dismantling as largely symbolic,..
Again, no specifics. And the fact that these experts "see" this as symbolic means it's pure opinion.
The Kangson facility was first publicly identified in May in a Washington Post article that cited research by nuclear weapons expert David Albright. Some European intelligence officials are not convinced that the Kangson site is used for uranium enrichment. But there is a broad consensus among U.S. intelligence agencies that Kangson is one of at least two secret enrichment plants.
So Europe isn't convinced, but U.S. Intelligence agencies are. Flip a coin.
..some independent analysts think the Trump administration has misread Kim's intentions,..
Again, no names, therefore no substance. And these "analysts" don't know with any certainty, they "think".
If this article had been published by an Alt. Media source, it would have quite rightly been shot down in flames. Because it was the WP however, it somehow becomes endowed with the golden glow of mainstream credibility. And need I remind you:

I began commenting/posting on Uncensored back in early 2012 looking for discussion and answers on the cause and agendas relating to our quakes.

Yes We Mystic release the 2nd single from their forthcoming album 'Ten Seated Figures'. 'Young Evil' is a disorienting, perturbed song telling the story of a young Evel Knievel. The single is accompanied by a bizarre music video that takes the band into bold new territory – featuring a choreographed dance which guitarist and vocalist Adam Fuhr practiced for three months.
Next week in Canada Yes We Mystic will attempt the impossible – playing 2 shows at the same time in completely different locations. How will they do this? All will be revealed on March 12th.
"In music, in art, what the creator asserts is true becomes true to some extent in the context of that art. Our question is, how far can this be pushed?" explains Fuhr.

Evidence is mounting that NO plays a role in the cardiovascular and renal adaptation to the hemorrhagic shock secondary to major blood loss. Recently, we reported cardiac and renal NO-dependent protective mechanisms activated by the hypovolemic state that include stimulation of NO synthase (NOS) expression and activity. In the heart, an increase in endothelial NOS is an early response to regulate cardiac function after blood loss. Meanwhile, inducible NOS increases heart dysfunction in later stages of sustained hemorrhagic shock. Additionally, the hypovolemic state induced changes in water homeostasis associated with alterations in inner medullary aquaporin water channel type 2 (AQP2) protein expressions and subcellular localization. NO production is one of the causes of the age-associated response that modulates AQP2 expression/trafficking in the inner collecting duct principal cells in response to hemorrhage. The complex regulation of NOS in cardiovascular and renal physiology depends on the magnitude of hemorrhage and age. The adaptive enhancement of NO synthesis and availability activates or increases expression of other protective factors, including heat shock proteins, antioxidants and prostaglandins, making the protection more robust and sustained. The work with laboratory animals and experimental hemorrhagic shock identified mitochondria as a sensitive subcellular compartment involved in the NO-mediated response to hypovolemic state. In a separate line of research, mtNOS was probed as a likely pacemaker of mammalian aging. Finally, further research based on the participation of mtNOS and the relationships between NO and other modulators of heart and kidney function, as well as the impact of aging in tissue adaptation to hypovolemia, are new research lines and hypothetical therapeutic strategies for the prevention and early treatment of tissue dysfunction.

On Aquilini and the Abbotsford Heat
August 20, 2012, 9:42 PM | Thomas Drance
Over the weekend, Greg Douglas of the Vancouver Sun dropped a report, which suggested that Canucks owner – real estate magnate Francesco Aquilini – is planning on taking a run at the financial and marketing catastrophe known as the Abbotsford Entertainment & Sports Centre, and their primary tenant the Abbotsford Heat.
From Douglas' report:
The buzz continues to escalate throughout the Fraser Valley real estate community that Francesco Aquilini has his sights set on buying the Abbotsford Entertainment and Sports Centre and the land it occupies. By extension, Aquilini would cut a deal with the Calgary Flames that would result in the Vancouver Canucks No. 1 farm team, the Chicago Wolves, moving to Abbotsford.
Calgary's American Hockey League affiliate – the Abbotsford Heat – are locked into a 10-year supply fee agreement with the City of Abbotsford and after three years, it's been a disaster. The Heat played four post-season games this season in their home building that can accommodate 7,046 fans for hockey and drew an average of 2,389.
There is a hockey board meeting scheduled for Sept. 7 at 2 p.m. in Abbotsford. Ken King, president of the Calgary Flames, will be there. Lane Sweeting, chairman of Fraser Valley Sports and Entertainment as well as Abbotsford Heat Hockey Ltd., says that while he has not been told anything by the city about a potential Aquilini takeover, it would not surprise him. Aquilini did not respond to messages left for him Friday.
So, there's a few things to sift through here. First of all the report is based on "buzz" that is "escalating" through the "Fraser Valley real estate community." The only person quoted is Lane Sweeting, who says that he hasn't heard anything about a potential takeover, and Aquilini declined to comment on the report. In summary, I read this report as a lot of smoke in the absence of fire.
The report goes on to speculate that the Canucks "No. 1 farm team" – whatever that means – would move to Abbotsford in place of the Heat. There are a couple of issues with this, the first being that the Canucks' AHL affiliate (or "No. 1 farm team") are the Chicago Wolves who aren't owned by the Aquilini Group (they're owned by Don Levin). Secondly, the Chicago Wolves do pretty well for themselves in Chicago: they were second in the AHL in average attendance last season, they're the primary tenants at the All State Arena (where they've played since 1994), and they remain one of the only AHL clubs with their own TV deal. What's Levin's incentive to re-locate to the lower mainland?
Maybe if Don Levin – who has been involved in talks with the city of Bellevue, Washington about the construction of an NHL arena in the Seattle area – was awarded an NHL club he'd consider selling or moving the Wolves (though even that's a stretch). But at the current juncture, the notion of moving the Wolves to British Columbia just doesn't make a lot of sense.
So it's no surprise that on Saturday evening, there was a second report from Kevin Mills and Dan Kinvig of the Abbotsford News that quoted Abbotsford City Manager Frank Pizzuto saying that the Abbotsford Entertainment and Sports Centre is "not on the market."
To summarize the information we have available to us, the agreement between the Flames and Abbotsford has been an unmitigated financial disaster for the municipality, and it's getting worse every year as attendance drops and the short-fall increases. If Aquilini could step in, buy the arena, and bring an AHL club to Abbotsford, or acquire the Heat out-right (which, seems significantly more likely than relocating the Wolves) it would surely be a boon to Abbotsford tax-payers.
It would also be advantageous for the Canucks. After 10 happy years of marriage with the Manitoba Moose and True North Sports and Entertainment, the Canucks and the Chicago Wolves appear to have had some "chemistry issues" in their first affiliated season. An Aquilini owned club would allow the Canucks to micro-manage their affiliate's hockey operations (yey extreme zone-start deployments), and the "farm hand recall time" from Abbotsford to Vancouver would be negligible. Also, Abbotsford is geographically isolated from the majority of AHL clubs, so Canucks prospects would have the opportunity to get used to the grueling air-travel schedule endured by Western Conference teams in the NHL…
The issues here remain manifold, however and this isn't the first time we've been down this speculative "Canucks to move AHL affiliate into Abbotsford" road. The reason it keeps popping up is that it makes so much sense for the Canucks, and for the city of Abbotsford. Sadly, the city is locked into a 10 year agreement with the Calgary Flames, and they've committed to offset any losses the club endures with tax-payer money. It's almost ironic, isn't it? The Flames benefitting from a no-movement clause!
The Abbotsford agreement is a sweet deal for the Flames, so where's the incentive for them to agree to relocate their AHL affiliate? The Flames acrue all of the benefits (an affiliate club just a short flight from Calgary) and none of the risk. Presumably it would require a significant sum of cash from Aquilini to lubricate this particular transaction, and you can trust the Flames to exact a price that would make Lord Walder Frey blush…
While the reports over the weekend got hockey fans in the lower mainland excited (again), we didn't really learn anything new. Abbotsford's agreement with the Flames remains another example of the endless enthusiasm Canadian citizens seem to have for flushing public money down the toilet for the sake of hockey, while the Canucks in Abbotsford could actually work and be a profitable venture. That was true last week, and it's still true today. As such, this type of speculation will persist indefinitely while revealing nothing new about Aquilini's actual intentions.

The deal is indeed a bad one for the town of Abbotsford. It's hard to determine whether AHL hockey would sell there at all given the near league low attendance numbers the team has put up since it arrived though.
The Canucks are into the second year of a 2 year deal with the Wolves… that means that later this year they have to either re-up with a club where they've had "chemistry problems", or find a new affiliate. Maybe I'm misunderstanding the way this deal would work, but I think that gives at least a little credence to this story.
If I were Aquilini (and my bank balance is proof that I am clearly not), I'd at least start looking into what it might take to bring the farm closer to home… especially if I thought it could add to the overall business.
The Heat are losing a boat-load of money every year. The deal with Abbotsford means the Flames don't lose money, but they're not making any on this team either. It's possible that the parent club could come to the realization they should have come to years ago… the farm team of a hated-rival will never win the hearts of hockey fans in the Canucks' backyard. They might be willing to back out on the Heat now, rather than wait until they actually do start losing money on their No. 1 minor league affiliate.
I wouldn't dismiss this story until the Canucks have a new agreement with the Wolves.
Also, the Wolves are the #1 farm team compared to Kalamazoo (ECHL).
Sounds like this was just written poorly by the reporter as you pointed out Thom… I'd hope that what he meant by moving the farm team is that the Heat would become the Canucks farm team and the Wolves would switch their affiliation with whomever. It'd honestly make me sick to my stomach if they forced a storied AHL franchise to move all for the Aquilinis attempt at a lower mainland sports monopoly.
Being in Winnipeg when the Moose were there I know how nice it is to have that luxury of seeing the farm team regularly… But no way in hell should it come at the expense of the Wolves. I'd surely hope there's a way for the Flames to be bought off because it's pretty obvious how much of a joke that agreement is.
It's not a joke for the Flames. They get to operate an expense free affiliate for the next whatever amount of years. It's an ideal situation for a team who wants to worry primarily about development issues for their players and not business issues in a league that is a tough sell at the best of times.
It's a poor deal for the tax payers of Abbotsford, to be sure, but then that's what happens when you build stadiums with public funds and then go begging for teams to fill them.

I would love for that to happen. Get the Canuks farm team in Abby, the Flames can purchase another AHL team and move them to Red Deer, and that other team can relocate to Chicago.
I would love to see one in Red Deer. Nearing 100,000 hockey loving people. An hour and a half (legal limit 😉 away would be
Even better than Abby. They have an AHLish sized arena. Perfect
Not sure how you take that as "the Wolves will move to Abbotsford". Obviously, the Wolves will stay put, but the plan would include the Nucks AHL players being relocated to Abby (and perhaps the Flames taking up the Wolves affiliation?).
KleptoKlown 7 years ago
Sure sounds like the Abbotsford city council screwed the pooch on this one.
I am sure the Canucks organization and fans would love to have the farm team only a short drive away, but why would Calgary give up a long term free meal ticket?
Only other areans that I am aware of near the GVA is the Pacific Coliseum and the Save on Foods center in Victoria.
The Aquilini family has proven they are willing to spend money, add the fact that the mini Canucks haven't worked out in Chicago…common sense dictates that the Canucks will have a new AHL affiliate this time next year.
MC Hockey 7 years ago
Yup the Abby taxpayers are not the lucky ones here. And why would the Flames give up this deal to help a rival NHL team? Answer: They would not unless they had another way to gain support for the Flame organization overall….so see below.
On that note, I do like the idea of the Flames farm team in Red Deer however to gain wider support from across Alberta…and Calgary Airport is not far from RD for teams visiting to get there relatively easily by bus (1.2 hours). But there is the WHL Rebels there so do you buy out Brent Sutter or offer him a piece of the Flames to give up the junior team? Or do you just convert the Rebels into an NHL team? Or maybe Regina or Saskatoon works better for the Flames to get more fans cheering for the entire franchise…maybe! But given my flying experience to Regina and Saskatoon, I say it's not an ideal location since visiting teams always must come through Calgary, Edmonton, or Winnipeg to get to those places.
Well, relocate the Rebels WHL team & give Brent a piece of the Red Deer Heat & I think the City of Red Deer would love to embrace an AHL team. I see the Oilers not being too happy & would like to have their affiliate in Red Deer as well. So I do see opposition to the Flames trying to seed in Red Deer. Chicago wouldnt be bad because of the increased number of US players Flames are drafting and have coming up their farm system. Either way, Vancouver is going to have to make it worth Calgary's while. Perhaps Redford could use to negotiate a pipeline through BC 🙂
I never understand why Langley isn't brought into the equation.

I thought it was reported that the Wolves did not want to continue their affiliation with the Canucks beyond this season? Can't remember where I read that now…but if so, the team is in a bit of a bind.
Having the farm team in Abby would be profitable. Never underestimate the obsessiveness of hockey fans.
@Scott McKenzie
I don't think the CIA can do much about a bad AHL deal. They are more into making uncooperative heads of state go missing. Although perhaps they could be consulted on that Stajan deal. Who knows.

@Nat
for whatever implementation issues the Canucks and Wolves have had, on the whole, the Wolves are very happy with the Canucks as the parent club. They spent years under the thumb of the Thrashers, a team seemed to have no real clue on what a farm team was for or for what in-house abilities the Wolves already had.
It may not be perfect, but anyone close to the Wolves will tell you it could be a whole lot worse.
Of course, that's not to say that they wouldn't be opposed to a new affiliation, but they are pretty happy with the current set up.
good read.
As a 20+ year resident of Abby, I totally agree with the proposal. I hate paying for a losing cause. When I attended HEAT games – when they played the Moose, there was just as much applause for the Moose as there was for the heat. Abby loves the Canucks; some reside there. But, how does this work? How can the Wolves move to Abby when they're owned by someone other than Aquilini? WHat about the resident Canuck draft picks? How can Aquilini purchase a Calgary-owned team stocked with their draft picks? The Moose' Mayflower move made sense – team and equiopment. This one however has me stumped(???).
Mantastic 7 years ago
wow, you're so clueless about what an AHL affiliate is…
@Mantastic
That's not helpful.
@PastaSteve
The players go where the Canucks tells them. The Wolves franchise would would stay in Chicago, but the team (players and coaches who get paid by the Canucks) would move to Abby.
@Kent Wilson
Based on the latest stuff I've read on this story, the idea is that Aquilini would buy the arena and negotiate a deal with the Flames to have the Heat become the Canucks affiliate. Aquilini would get the arena's share of the revenue and the Flames would actually start to make a profit on the Heat… albeit, they'd have to find a new place for their farm.
Reidja 7 years ago
It's a rare case when rumours make this much sense:
Benefits to Abbotsford: Having the Canucks affiliate, potentially less tax-payer money required to fulfill agreement
Benefits to Canucks: Close affiliate, increased interest from regional market
Benefits to Flames: Actually make some money off Heat by selling sweet-heart deal to Aquilini, move to an established AHL market with potential to generate a profit
Benefit to Chicago: Gain Flames farm team which has some decent American prospects

Chaos expected as school bus drivers go on strike
A school bus is stopped while picking up a student in the East Village Tuesday.	Getty Images
With no agreement reached, buses like these will be empty, leaving thousands of city students stranded or scrambling to find alternatives to get to school. (
Thousands of city kids were left stranded this morning when school-bus drivers and matrons went on strike, leaving parents scrambling to find other ways to get their childen to school.
The mayor today said the city won't back down.
"There's no extra money so we couldn't change our mind and cave if we wanted to," Bloomberg told Fox 5. "There's only a certain amount of money. I'm not going to move money away from police and worry about safety in the streets to pay bus drivers."
The mayor also said he would not ask the courts to intervene right now.
"I don't think it's time yet to do that. Number one, it's not clear that all of the unions are striking. We'll find out later this morning. It's not clear this union won't come to its senses and say I just don't want to hurt the kids — and this is not something that's going to help them. They're going to lose out on their pay from now until June," said the mayor.
Schools Chancellor Dennis Walcott, predicting widespread problems, says the strike started at 6 a.m. this morning.
"It's going to be chaotic today, it's going to be traumatic. This is the first day. It hasn't happened in 33 years," said Walcott.
The devastating job action, called Monday by the union representing most of the city's yellow bus drivers and matrons, left as many as 152,000 children — including 54,000 special-needs kids — faced with travel nightmares or even getting stuck at home for the duration of the work stoppage.
City officials took to the airwaves yesterday to blast Local 1181 of the Amalgamated Transit Union for leaving the students — many of whom have already suffered through Hurricane Sandy and missed a week of school — in the lurch.
"The union drivers are striking against our children, plain and simple," Walcott said yesterday.
The city distributed free MetroCards to tens of thousands of students yesterday to help them with the expected transportation chaos. Free monthly cards also will be handed out to parents of kids in second grade and younger today.
But MTA officials acknowledged that the cards might not work at all subway stations until later today, nor on all public bus routes until late tomorrow.
"The first couple of days will be tough," said Walcott.
The last time city school-bus drivers went on strike was 34 years ago. It lasted three months.
Today's anticipated strike was sparked over a job-protection clause that the city removed from newly bid-out contracts.
Local 1181 claims that up to 2,500 of its members' jobs will be at stake if new bus companies are awarded contracts in June without the protective clause.
"We've tried every option to avoid a strike, but our members feel that their back is to the wall and they must take a stand on this issue," said Local 1181 chief Michael Cordiello.
The city disputes those job numbers and insists it wasn't allowed to maintain the protections because they were deemed illegal by the state's highest court in 2011.
Education officials also said they're trying to trim costs from their $1.1 billion yellow-busing budget, the highest in the nation.
While at least six small bus companies said they were planning to operate as usual this morning, it wasn't clear whether union protesters might try to block them.
Asked yesterday whether his union would allow other workers to cross picket lines or enter non-union bus depots, Cordiello would only say, "Our members have been instructed to do nothing that's illegal."
His union represents nearly 9,000 drivers, matrons and mechanics — including nearly all the bus matrons who are required to supervise special-ed students.
That appeared to mean that even companies with non-Local 1181 drivers would be prevented from running their special-education routes.
Local 584 of the Teamsters union — which represents roughly 1,000 drivers, matrons and mechanics — said it wouldn't join the strike because its contract with bus companies doesn't allow for it.
But its president, Dan Gatto, also said his members wouldn't cross picket lines.Parents can get updated information on which bus routes are running by clicking the Department of Education link on the city's nyc.gov Web site or at www.opt-osfns.org/opt/Resources/SchoolRouteStSearch/searchresult.aspx.
