South Korea and the United States have mapped out a new strategy to counter the growing threat of a North Korean nuclear or chemical weapons attack, their defence ministers said.
Korea has been a single political entity controlling over Korean Peninsula until the end of World War II, when Soviet Union and United States each occupied northern and southern halves respectively. The division further leads to founding of today’s North Korea and South Korea. Tensions between two countries remain high as both parties want to bring a unified peninsula under its rule. Heavy military are still stationed at the border which runs along north of 38th parallel.
The cancellation of a reunion for families separated by the Korean War has dealt a devastating blow to elderly Koreans denied a longed-for, and probably final, meeting with surviving relatives.
North Korea has indefinitely postponed reunions for families separated since the Korean war, just days before they were to resume, leaving relatives "disappointed beyond description".
Nam Yong-Ho, a 47-year-old South Korean man, was fatally shot at around 2.30 pm on Monday while trying to swim across the Imjin river that makes up part of the western border with the North.
The line - one of the two remaining inter-Korea military hotlines - was disabled in late March weeks after the North's third nuclear test and the following month a joint industrial zone was shut...
Testimony by North Korean defectors at UN hearings this week in Seoul has produced chilling accounts of systematic rape, murder and torture - but it’s also a poignant reminder of past, toothless...
The president of the International Committee of the Red Cross is visiting North and South Korea to discuss proposed reunions of families separated by the Korean War and other humanitarian issues...
Hyundai’s labour union said 46,000 workers will stage a four-hour strike over two days this week as the union increases pressure on the automaker for higher wages and benefits.
South Korea on Friday proposed formal talks next week with the North on arranging the first reunion in three years of families separated by the 1950-53 Korean war.
South Korean President Park Geun-Hye called on Thursday for the first family reunions with North Korea in three years, a day after the two nations agreed to reopen a joint industrial zone.


Damascus, SANA_ President Bashar al-Assad on Saturday performed Eid al-Adha prayer at al-Nu’man Bin Bashir Mosque in Damascus.
Senior officials in the state and the Baath Arab Socialist Party (BASP), a number of the People’s Assembly members, Syria’s Grand Mufti, several Islamic scholars and a crowd of citizens also performed the prayer.
Following the prayer which was led by Sheikh Adnan al-Afiouni the President listened to the Eid sermon with Sheikh al-Afiouni saying: ” Eid is associated with happiness in the life of the nation,” he said. “But Eid has not entered our homes because the West and its tools decided to make Syria a battlefield for the implementation of their interests and agendas.”
Sheikh al-Afiouni stressed that the recent terrorist bombing in Homs, which claimed the lives of dozens of innocent civilians, mostly schoolchildren, is a clear example on the terrorism, infidelity and treachery of the foreign-backed tools.
“We pray for God to protect our country from a great conspiracy that targets its role, presence and resilience,” he said, adding: ” We pledge to keep the country from being turned into a war zone, torn apart and divided,” he said, referring to “plans drawn up at the White House.

John Oliver couldn’t have been happier to be back in front of a live studio audience as Last Week Tonight returned from a brief hiatus. He also couldn’t resist a chance to swing at Jeopardy!‘s ongoing hosting conundrum, after previously kicking Mike Richards on his way out the door. The game show, however, appears to be in a difficult spot while selecting a new permanent host. Producers would obviously love to avoid selecting anyone with a lick of controversy in their past, and perhaps Mayim Bialik’s resurfaced vaccine remarks might prevent her from receiving the full-on hosting gig, for which she’s expressed her intent to score.
It’s all a freaking mess. Even Ken Jennings (who will serve as one of two temporary hosts, the other being Bialik, for the rest of the year) had those controversial tweets to reportedly muck up the selection process. TMZ previously reported that producers wanted Bialik to be the permanent host before the Richards disaster, but who knows how this will all shake out in the future.
Last Week Tonight is here to pass some judgment while using the show as a comparison to the U.S.-Mexico border situation. Oliver slammed the Biden administration’s approach to Haitian migrants with “no clear rationale. And yep, Oliver is aware of Bialik’s air of controversy, as this went down early on in the broadcast:
“It’s not great when our process for deciding who gets released and who gets expelled is as haphazard for finding a new host for Jeopardy!. And by the way, great job so far, guys. You dodged giving that guy the job permanently, and right now, we’ve got somebody absolutely free of controversy, Mayim Bialik, a person I think is great because I don’t have Google.”
To get real, yep, it’s also not great when the border situation has no unified perspective from the Biden administration. The president has condemned the treatment of Haitians at the border, even as Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has defended the deportation of Haitians due to Covid. That’s the case even though no one is really doing anything about the U.S. citizens who won’t take the pandemic seriously and, as a result, clogging up hospitals because of “freedom.” Comparing the situation to Jeopardy! might ultimately seem out context, but both situations veered into fiasco territory due to the people in charge completely neglecting to prepare. The digging-out phase of these disasters will now happen in full public view, and Last Week Tonight will be watching.

The Silverbrook Farm in Acushnet is a traditional farm with one eye proudly looking towards the future. In addition to fulfilling old world farm duties, Silverbrook Farm has community events, a visit from Santa Claus, Christmas Trees, an animal display, hayrides, and even a movie night! The common conception of a farm is a tract of land where vegetables are grown, harvested and sold to the public. Perhaps some livestock or fruit somewhere in the mix. If you think Silverbrook is one of these old-fashioned farms, you would be right, but you will also be pleasantly surprised!
Owner J.J. Pereira and business partner Nick Ciaccio take their role in the community seriously. They don’t want to be a place for you to simply get produce, pay up and then move along. They remember faces and names. They live right here in Acushnet, are part of the community and have chosen to play an active role in offering many fun events and family oriented activities. They want a relationship. Indeed, their motto is “Start a New Family Tradition at Silverbrook Farm!” They want to provide services that are not ordinarily found in such a rural community like Acushnet. Typically you have to head to the more developed areas of Fairhaven, Dartmouth and New Bedford for some of their offerings.
Silverbrook Farm’s Community Supported Agriculture Program
Are you concerned about your family’s health? Of course! If given a choice would you like to put the freshest, nutrient rich food on the family’s plate or food coated in unpronounceable pesticides? Did you know that the produce that you select at the supermarket is often picked before it has fully ripened, and the nutrients have peaked, so that it survives the trip across country? Even if the produce was to cost the same or a bit more, the fact that you are feeding your family a much nutrient richer food source without poisons that have to be rinsed off is a benefit that has no price. You can taste the difference in food that has been picked that day not a week earlier; when it has naturally ripened and it’s vitamins and nutrients have reached its peak.
Silverbrook Farm as many farms do these days offers a Community Supported Agriculture program (CSA) in addition to its foodstand or country store. You purchase a “share” which means you pay them ahead of time for their harvest. They do the work for you in planting, nurturing, growing and harvesting the vegetables and fruits. They then package them with other offerings for weekly pick-up.
In essence, it’s like having a farm yourself, without all the labor….and manure. By purchasing a share, you provide funding and capital for the farmer and insure that year’s harvest. This is also a contribution to local business which has obvious economical benefits. Often you will come across produce that you have never had or wouldn’t typically purchase and this means your palate gets to go on an adventure and your body will thank you! Need help with recipes? J.J. and Nick have that covered too!
What are some of these fruits and vegetables? Green and yellow beans, collard greens, green peppers, cucumbers, blueberries, basil, apples, beets, lettuce, broccoli, carrots, eggplant, summer squash, sweet corn, potatoes and more! Unlike many CSA’s that solely offer fruits and vegetables, The Silverbrook Farm has other offerings that it places within the weekly pick-up. The Livestock CSA features grass fed beef, and free range pork, poultry and eggs.
Silverbrook Farm offers a variety of CSA’s. The one thing they all have in common is offering 17 weeks of fresh, nutrient rich produce, their newsletter, recipes, pick up in five separate locations, your SILVERBROOKer card, guidebook, private access to the farm animals and garden, and two complimentary admissions to the July, August, or September family movie night. NOT just fruits and vegetables. You can upgrade to the Standard CSA which will get you some baked goods, a fresh eggs option, 3 complimentary admission to the fall events, and a coupon book. Not enough? Then you can take the best package of all the MASTER CSA, which gets you everything in the standard CSA and membership in the Livestock CSA (Farm Fresh Beef/ Free Range Chicken), a Thanksgiving Turkey, and a Christmas Tree.
Silverbrook Country Store
Taking another step into the future, instead of a simple farmstand, Silverbrook has what they call a country store. This place is incredible and they have expansion already planned. Freshly baked pies, Emack and Bolios ice cream, jams, and flying under the Pereira Bread Co. label they have six varieties of bread to choose from, cookies, muffins, apple cakes, and even cheesecake! The store also has potpourri items, candles, Amish pasta sauce (not a misprint!) and a variety of other surprising items. I can’t imagine you’d actually need to continue on to Shaw’s or Stop & Shop after you’ve been to Silverbrook. You don’t even need to leave Acushnet! Silverbrook Farm also has a card that each “Silverbrooker” gets which will earn you discounts each week at the Silverbrook Country Store and at all Silverbrook Events including the family movie nights and many fall events.
A Variety of FUN Activities & Cooking Classes
Reflecting the aforementioned old world values and sense of community, J.J. and Nick have other services and a variety of activities for the whole family virtually year round. Pony rides, Mother Goose Story-times, Hayrides (campfire, twilight and other), Kid’s Corn Maze, animal displays, face painting, pumpkin painting, barrel ride, movie night in the barn, freshly cut Christmas trees, and MORE. They offer some great discounts and deals for groups including Campfire Hayrides, Field Trip Packages, and a Birthday Package to make your little one’s special day unforgettable.
One of the most exciting offerings they have, is the cooking classes, where you learn to not only replicate the mouth watering dishes taught to you buy a local chef, but you can also learn to pickle and preserve! Preserving and pickling is a way to make use of fruits and vegetables before they go bad. It also stretched your wallet; instead of wastefully tossing away food that you can’t get to, you can preserve and pickle it all!
To top all of this off, Silverbrook Farm has some major events including a Mother/Daughter Brunch, a Harvest Festival, this year is the 6th Annual Great Pumpkin Festival (with donations to charity), and the 4th Annual Santa’s Farm Follies which features Grinch hayrides, a face painting elf, pony rides, hot chocolate, Smores, all the farm animals, and visits with Mrs. and Santa Claus! Be sure to check out their event page or Facebook page often for updates.
The Silverbrook Farm in Acushnet may be able to trace its roots as far back as the 17th century as we detailed in an earlier article. There is an incredible amount of history and tradition in this farm and J.J. and Nick are not only carrying that on but creating new moments with their innovative ideas, sense of community, and values. They really have something special going on and genuinely want you to be a part of it.
If you would like to know more about Silverbrook Farm you can check out their website, Facebook, e-mail them at firstname.lastname@example.org, call (774) 202-1027 or (617) 834-5567 after hours or better yet, stop in for yourself at 934 Main Street, Acushnet!
For more images of their country store and some of the delicious items offered, take a peek at the Fairhaven Guide photo album.


So let me get this straight: Obama wants to veto a bill that would put higher scrutiny on Syrian refugees trying to get into the U.S.? Yup. He’s that stupid.
Given what has happened the last 3 months in the middle east and Europe, especially the Paris attacks last week, Obama still just doesn’t get it. He wants to veto a Republican bill that would put higher security scrutiny on incoming Syrian refugees to the U.S. I say, don’t allow any at all, but if we do, the VERY LEAST we can do it properly screen them right? According to Obama: Nope.
Given the lives at stake and the critical importance to our partners in the Middle East and Europe of American leadership in addressing the Syrian refugee crisis … [Obama] would veto the bill.
Unreal. How can you be so naive? I am honestly at a loss for words. He’s going to allow Syrians into the country with possible ties to ISIS, and we won’t even know it. Pathetic. What a traitor.
How can we stop this? Can anyone help at this point?

Discover your dosha type here.
Not a Vata?
Keep in mind that Ayurveda does not support herbal allopathy, in which you take an herb to relieve symptoms without looking for the cause of the underlying imbalance. Herbs need to be used as part of a complete plan for mind-body balance. Instead of simply prescribing valerian to improve your sleep, an Ayurvedic doctor would help you explore the underlying issues that are keeping you awake.
With this Ayurvedic perspective in mind, let’s look at a few herbs that are particularly balancing for your predominant dosha, Vata.
Herbal EnergeticsComposed of space and air, Vata dosha is responsible for all movement within your physiology. When Vata becomes aggravated or excessive, you may experience anxiety, insomnia, palpitations, and digestive issues, among other symptoms. You can use grounding and calming herbs as part of an overall Vata-balancing lifestyle.
Ashwagandha (withania somnifera)
- Tastes: astringent, bitter, sweet
- Energetics: heating
Ashwagandha is particularly beneficial for Vata types as it calms the nervous system and helps focus the mind. It is frequently prescribed for people who complain of fatigue, have difficulty concentrating, or feel “ungrounded”—all symptoms of Vata imbalance.
Ashwagandha contains many useful medicinal chemicals, including withanolides, (steroidal lactones), alkaloids, choline, fatty acids, amino acids, and a variety of sugars. While the leaves and fruit have valuable therapeutic properties, the root of the ashwagandha plant is the part most commonly used in Western herbal remedies.
Medical researchers have been studying the healing benefits of ashwagandha with great interest, and have found that it:
- Strengthens the immune system
- Modulates the body’s stress response
- Improves memory and ability to focus
- Reduces anxiety and depression without causing drowsiness
- Stabilizes blood sugar
- Lowers cholesterol
- Reduces brain-cell degeneration
- Offers anti-inflammatory benefits and is beneficial in treating rheumatoid arthritis and gastrointestinal disease
- Enhances sexual potency for both men and women
In extremely large doses, ashwagandha has reportedly induced abortions in animals. Although no similar studies have been carried out on humans, women should avoid the herb during pregnancy.
Ginger (zingiber officinale)
- Taste: pungent
- Energetics: heating
From an Ayurvedic perspective, ginger’s heating qualities make it useful for treating Vata imbalances. For example, people with cold hands and feet can drink ginger tea or chew on fresh or candied ginger to bring heat into the system and improve circulation. Ginger is also a beneficial treatment for common Vata digestive issues as it improves all three phases of gastrointestinal function (digestion, absorption, and elimination).
Here are just a few of the recent findings about ginger’s overall benefits in restoring and maintaining balance and health:
- Consuming ginger on a regular basis can help reduce pain levels and swelling in people with osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis.
- Ginger inhibits the activation of several genes involved in the inflammatory response.
- Researchers have found that ginger contains specific compounds that may bind to human serotonin receptors, which may help to alleviate anxiety.
- Ginger is effective in preventing the symptoms of motion sickness, including nausea, dizziness, and vomiting.
- Small doses of ginger can also help relieve nausea and vomiting related to pregnancy, without the adverse side effects associated with anti-nausea drugs.
- Studies suggest that ginger may also be helpful in stabilizing metabolism, including reducing the risk of diabetes.
- Ginger may inhibit the growth of some kinds of human cancer cells, including colorectal cancer cells.
Since ginger acts as a blood thinner, it’s important to taper off usage for two weeks before surgery. In addition, if you are undergoing chemotherapy, consult your doctor before taking ginger at medicinal doses.
- Tastes: sweet, sour, pungent, bitter, astringent
- Energetics: neutral (heating and cooling). Amalaki is cooling, while bibhitaki and haritaki are heating.
Amalaki (emblica officinalis), commonly known as Indian gooseberry or amla, is considered one of the best rejuvenating herbs in Ayurveda. It has traditionally been used to treat skin diseases, lung conditions, diabetes, and indigestion. Amalaki is a strong natural antioxidant containing high levels of vitamin C. In India, amalaki is known as the “nurse herb” because it strengthens the immune system and cools the body, balancing the Pitta dosha.
Haritaki (terminalia chebula) has the strongest laxative powers of the three fruits contained in triphala. In Tibet, haritaki is so highly revered that in Tibetan sacred paintings, it’s often depicted in the extended palm of the Medicine Buddha. The herb also has astringent properties and balances Vata.
Bibhitaki (terminalia bellerica) is an excellent rejuvenative with both laxative and astringent properties. It eliminates excess mucus in the body, balancing the Kapha dosha. In addition, bibhitaki is a powerful treatment for a variety of lung conditions, including bronchitis and asthma.
Triphala is a particularly useful herbal blend because it gently cleanses and detoxifies the body without irritating the colon. In addition, unlike other laxatives that deplete the body, triphala actually strengthens and nourishes the bones, nervous system, and reproductive organs.
The recommended dose is 500 to 1,000 mg twice daily.

The lovable picture shows Kylie’s baby Stormi sitting with her dad, Travis Scott, on a recent outing outside. As all excellent BFFs tend to do, Hailey and Kylie are constantly liking and commenting each other’s Instagram photos. But this time, Hailey offered Kylie’s post some love with a comment that was a bit unusual for fans: “Please stop giving me the most baby fever. She’s the sweetest.”
The post naturally sent out off a wave of responses on social media, and fans were complete on freaking out at the “infant fever” remark. Because Haily and Justin secretly got married in 2015 in a courthouse wedding event, fans are constantly wondering when and where the next huge, surprise announcement will drop. Justin and Hailey have actually both expressed wishing to have kids in the past, so fans can get a little carried away with clues that an infant may be on the method. I imply, Justin and Hailey’s baby would be majorly lovable so I totally get it. Justin even had to close down reports himself about a little one en route just recently with an Instagram post where he shares: “One day I’ll be doing daddy child dates … not meaning anything soon I’m not in a rush.”
So how did Hailey resolve the child rumor this time? She set the record straight by commenting on ET Canada’s Instagram:
Just appreciating my friends lovely daughter. Does not mean I’m having infants anytime soon!Hailey’s no-nonsense technique and comment quickly resolved any rumor that a baby may be on the horizon. Clearly, Hailey leaving an Instagram remark appreciating Stormi in no method recommends that she is pregnant herself, and her response makes that clear. Hailey wasn’t the only celebrity to comment on how adorable that image of Stormi was Kylie’s sibling Kendall Jenner likewise could not resist Stormi’s appeals. Kendall published that her infant fever was “on overload”after seeing the Instagram picture. Looks like “baby fever” is really infectious, though it really does not indicate anybody is in fact having a baby. Fans will just have to keep waiting up until the day that the superstar couple actually does (or does not )drop a stunning pregnancy statement. Till then, I’ll keep my eyes peeled on social networks, since it appears like fans won’t be backing off the”infant fever”report mill at any time quickly.

text: JRF has changed my lifestyle and my concept about eating. Actually the program made more energetic ,had more self confidence and improve my health and mood . I saw my abs for the first time in my life. Besides it changed my mindset in eating. I think I changed to a better version after I started the program and this was confirmed to me because when all my friends saw the transformation that happen they were amazed because of the amount of food i ate and I didn’t starve myself so they started to ask me about the JRF program to start it. Really thank you for what you have done to me.

The final day of the Mets’ 2013 season started with a flashback. A 20-minute pregame ceremony to honor Mike Piazza a symbol of better times in Mets history attracted a sellout crowd just the third this year kicked the afternoon off at Citi Field Sunday. A video tribute flashed on the big screen displaying Images of Piazza’s most memorable moments over his eight seasons in Flushing. Former Mets players were presented. The 41981 in attendance roared with each highlight and name. Piazza and his father cried. A rare sense of excitement engulfed the usually empty ballpark. The Mets won the game that followed tapping into the energy to top the Brewers 3-2 to conclude their season at 74-88 and in third place in the National League East. Jon Niese allowed two runs over six innings. Eric Young Jr. swiped two bases in the first inning to finish season with 46 stolen bases and take the National League crown in the category. Juan Lagares added his 15th outfield assist of the season the most by a rookie in the majors since Delmon Young compiled 16 for Tampa Bay in 2007. But the result was ultimately irrelevant. Their fate a fifth straight losing season was sealed weeks ago. This time next year the Mets expect a different regular season finale. They are banking on not requiring a novelty act to play in front of sellout crowds. They intend to contend. “I was just telling those guys the same thing: ‘What you guys went through today next year at this meeting we’re going to have we’re going to be talking about where we’re going to play tomorrow’” Mets manager Terry Collins said referring to the start of the postseason. “And they better get ready for it.” Mets general manager Sandy Alderson has frequently reiterated that the Mets foresee becoming perennial playoff contenders beginning in 2014. A significant amount of money – at least $43 million between Johan Santana and Jason Bay’s expiring contracts – is coming off the books this offseason.
Mets top Brewers, 3-2, in season finale as their sights are now set on pivotal 2014

The main goal of this thesis is to investigate the potential of the nonlinear adaptive backstepping control technique in combination with online model identification for the design of a reconfigurable flight control system for a modern fighter aircraft.
Adaptive backstepping is a recursive, Lyapunov-based, nonlinear design method, that makes use of dynamic parameter update laws to deal with parametric uncertainties. The idea of backstepping is to design a controller recursively by considering some of the state variables as ‘virtual controls’ and designing intermediate control laws for these. Backstepping achieves the goals of global asymptotic stabilization of the closed-loop states and tracking. The proof of these properties is a direct consequence of the recursive procedure, since a Lyapunov function is constructed for the entire system including the parameter estimates. The tracking errors drive the adaptation process of the procedure. Furthermore, it is possible to take magnitude and rate constraints on the control inputs and system states into account in such a way that the identification process is not corrupted during periods of control effector saturation. A disadvantage of the integrated adaptive backstepping method is that it only yields pseudo-estimates of the uncertain system parameters. There is no guarantee that the real values of the parameters are found, since the adaptation only tries to satisfy a total system stability criterion, i.e. the Lyapunov function. Increasing the adaptation gain will not necessarily improve the response of the closed-loop system, due to the strong coupling between the controller and the estimator dynamics.
The immersion and invariance (I&I) approach provides an alternative way of constructing a nonlinear estimator. This approach allows for prescribed stable dynamics to be assigned to the parameter estimation error. The resulting estimator is combined with a backstepping controller to form a modular adaptive control scheme. The I&I based estimator is fast enough to capture the potential faster-than-linear growth of nonlinear systems. The resulting modular scheme is much easier to tune than the ones resulting from the standard adaptive backstepping approacheswith tracking error driven adaptation process.
To make a real-time implementation of the adaptive controllers feasible the computational complexity has to be kept at a minimum. As a solution, a flight envelope partitioning method is proposed to capture the globally valid aerodynamic model into multiple locally valid aerodynamic models. The estimator only has to update a few local models at each time step, thereby decreasing the computational load of the algorithm. An additional advantage of using multiple, local models is that information of the models that are not updated at a certain time step is retained, thereby giving the approximator memory capabilities. B-spline networks are selected for their nice numerical properties to ensure smooth transitions between the different regions.
The adaptive backstepping flight controllers developed in this thesis have been evaluated in numerical simulations on a high-fidelity F-16 dynamicmodel involving several control problems. The adaptive designs have been compared with the gain-scheduled baseline flight control system and a non-adaptive NDI design. The performance has been compared in simulation scenarios at several flight conditions with the aircraft model suffering from actuator failures, longitudinal center of gravity shifts and changes in aerodynamic coefficients. All numerical simulations can be easily performed in real-time on an ordinary desktop computer. Results of the simulations demonstrate that the adaptive flight controllers provide a significant performance improvement over the non-adaptive NDI design for the simulated failure cases. Of the evaluated adaptive flight controllers, the I&I based modular adaptive backstepping design has the overall best performance and is also easiest to tune, at the cost of a small increase in computational load and design complexity when compared to integrated adaptive backstepping control designs. Moreover, the flight controllers designed with the I&I based modular adaptive backstepping approach have even stronger provable stability and convergence properties than the integrated adaptive backstepping flight controllers, while at the same time achieving a modularity in the design of the controller and identifier. On the basis of the research performed in this thesis, it can be concluded that a RFC system based on the I&I based modular adaptive backstepping method shows a lot of potential, since it possesses all the features aimed at in the thesis goal.

Cumbria has joined County Durham and Sunderland in working together to make adoption easier.
It's hoped the launch of a new regional adoption agency, spanning across the north of England, will help more parents start a family.
The Adopt Coast to Coast partnership will mean the three local authorities can make the adoption process faster.
families approved between April 2020 - February 2021.
children matched between between April 2020 - February 2021.
Couple Robbie and Steven decided to adopt a child in 2019. They 'instantly' fell in love with their beautiful little boy Josh.
Steven said: “The adoption journey might seem completely overwhelming for some people, especially if you’ve been thinking about it for a long time–but it’s all totally worth it.
“All the waiting and worrying, all the concerns about whether you’ve said the right thing or the wrong thing-just relax, be truthful and open with your social worker, and you could have your own forever family too"
Paula Gibbons Head of Service for Adopt Coast to Coast said: “Many people have faced uncertainly during the Covid-19 pandemic and have had more time to reflect than ever before so this is an ideal time to consider whether adoption might be a way to add to or start a family.
"There are still a lot of misconceptions about how long the adoption process takes and who is eligible to adopt, so for us Adopt Coast to Coast has come at an ideal time to support those looking to start their adoption journey.”

Yet again, another mass shooting — this time against white police officers. And yet again, our president makes an lame statement about the violence in our country.
It’s funny, when black men were targeted by police, our president discussed race relations. With statistics in hand, President Obama blared, “Black drivers are more likely to be pulled over for traffic stops. After being pulled over, blacks and Hispanics are three times more likely to be searched. Last year, African-Americans were shot by police at more than twice the rate of whites. These are facts. And when incidents like this occur, there’s a big chunk of our fellow citizenry that feels as if, because of the color of their skin, they’re not being treated the same. And that hurts.”
That’s right Mr. President, go ahead, keep on fanning the flames of an inflamed situation. That is just what we Americans need — more division.
It’s true that statistics don’t lie, but there is also the issue of black-on-black crime — just look at this past Memorial Day Weekend in Chicago. The President didn’t address that one at all. No presidential speeches that day.
When the police officers were gunned down like sitting ducks in a pond because they were white police officers, our president chose to enlighten us about violence in our country, and the all ubiquitous “we don’t know yet” routine. Nary a word was uttered that it might have been racially motivated.
“We still don’t know all the facts,” he said.
No Mr. President, we did know. Here’s the New York Times account: “The heavily armed sniper who gunned down police officers in downtown Dallas, leaving five of them dead, specifically set out to kill as many white officers as he could, officials said.”
Why does this president have such an aversion to speaking the plain truth. This attack in Dallas was racially motivated. We all knew it — why didn’t he? Meadow muffins.
In the president’s two terms, this country has seen more division than during the Civil War.
Not for Nuthin™ Mr. President, when you get up there and speechify, try to unite this country instead of dividing it further.
All lives matter Mr. President — it really is time for the race rhetoric to end. We are all One America.

Teateam a russian speaking Mac OS developer binary patched the latest Mac OS X 10.6.2 Mach Kernel to eventually reenable support for Intel Atom CPUs. His kernel seems to be running well in 32bit and in 64bit mode. Atom CPUs are now reported as Intel Core Solo or Core Duo.
The patch seems only to consist of modifying a couple of (simply) assembler instructions to permanently set the CPU type. In the meantime Apple has released kernel sources and people are working on adding Atom CPU support in a proper manner.

Late last year, director Roman Polanski had filed a complaint with the Los Angeles Superior Court to have the outstanding charges of sexual misconduct against him dismissed. The charges date back to 1977, when Polanski was accused of luring 13-year-old Samantha Geimer back to Jack Nicholson’s house where they had sexual intercourse (although he claimed it was consensual, she was underage and drugged). Polanski fled the U.S. and has lived in France ever since, unable to return under threat of being arrested. Although his request to have the case dismissed was denied, the judge agreed to retry him, if he appeared in court. That never happened.
Now, today, it appears that authorities have taken steps to resolve the case once and for all. After arriving in Zurich, Switzerland to attend the Zurich Film Festival, he was arrested. Festival organizers had planned to present Polanski with a lifetime achievement award, but now he is being detained with the possibility of extradition to the United States. Ouch! It seems crazy that the man may now finally face charges after so long. I’m not even saying the charges were undeserved, but after 30 years, people change and the world moves on. What do you think, is Polanski finally getting what was coming to him, or does the U.S. justice system simply have something to prove?

About The Awards
Our work makes a difference to the lives of children by promoting their rights to play safely in their communities.
We do this by celebrating the ground-breaking work done around Scotland to provide children and young people with innovative play experiences.
Through our annual awards The Trust builds on the work that Nancy Ovens carried out in advocating the importance of children’s play in Scotland.
Some of our awards have included a parkour play project in Coatbridge, the biggest in the UK, and a play area in New Lanark designed by primary school pupils as young as 3.
Recent research has shown that the majority of children in Scotland are not doing enough physical activity.
The work of the Trust to promote and celebrate grassroots projects bucking that trend is more important than ever.
Individuals, organisations and community groups can enter the National Awards for Play in Scotland in the award categories for
- Play in the home
- Play at nursery or school
- Play in the community
- Positive support for play
or the new category of
- Year of Young People’s Award
The Nancy Ovens Trust is proud to be acknowledged in the Scottish Government’s document Play Strategy for Scotland: Our Action Plan (2013) as an organisation that can identify and showcase positive engagement with children and young people, parents and carers, and community based play providers in the planning, design and management of play spaces and opportunities.
The overarching principles of our work reflect those enshrined in The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child:
The child’s right to play and leisure
Article 31 (Leisure, play and culture): –“That every child has the right to rest and leisure, to engage in play and recreational activities appropriate to the age of the child and to participate freely in cultural life and the arts.
That member governments shall respect and promote the right of the child to participate fully in cultural and artistic life and shall encourage the provision of appropriate and equal opportunities for cultural, artistic, recreational and leisure activity.”
The child’s right to express their views
Article 12 (Respect for the views of the child): When adults are making decisions that affect children, children have the right to say what they think should happen and have their opinions taken into account.
The child’s right to protection from all forms of discrimination
Article 2 (Non-discrimination): The Convention applies to all children, whatever their race, religion or abilities; whatever they think or say, whatever type of family they come from. It doesn’t matter where children live, what language they speak, what their parents do, whether they are boys or girls, what their culture is, whether they have a disability or whether they are rich or poor. No child should be treated unfairly on any basis.

Tips To Avoid Catching The Common Cold
- Author Isiah Dellacioppa
- Published January 31, 2011
- Word count 346
The common cold is one of the most common infections you can get. Symptoms include coughing, sneezing, sore throat, stuffy and runny nose. Headaches, muscle aches, and fatigue may also develop as the body defends itself against the infection.
Studies have shown that contaminated hands are big culprits that aid the spread of certain viruses and bacteria. Casual rinsing of hands under a running tap is not good enough. For proper hand hygiene, follow the 7 Steps of hand hygiene and make sure you use sufficient hand hygiene product (e.g. soap and water). By doing so, you will reduce the spread of infection.
On average, a person is contagious as early as a day after infection and remains so until the symptoms have completely subsided. However symptoms usually take two to three days to appear, thus a person can be contagious without showing any symptoms.
Transmission happens when an infected person sneezes or coughs into the air and the droplets are inhaled by another person. The virus can also be spread through touching an infected surface and then touching one's nose, mouth, or eye area.
The more people there are in an area, the more likely it will be that one or more of them are infected.
Avoid touching your mouth, nose, or eyes unnecessarily
Touching your face, particularly after touching stairwells, doorknobs, and other public surfaces or engaging in physical contact with others (i.e. shaking hands) are possible ways of spreading the virus.
Cleaning objects with a virus-killing disinfectant is a good idea when there are infected people in the vicinity.
Keep your hands clean
If soap and water aren't available, alcohol-based hand rub or gels can be used.
Research shows that those who engage in regular exercise are less likely to suffer from colds. Eating a healthy diet with plenty of fruits and vegetables is also beneficial for keeping immune function strong.
Smokers and those exposed to second-hand smoke are more likely to come down with colds, and they experience more severe symptoms when infected.

Holly Willoughby left Keith Lemon utterly stunned with an outrageous confession this week.
The This Morning presenter appeared as a captain on popular ITV2 panel show Celebrity Juice.
Holly, who routinely presents the ITV1 daytime favourite alongside Phillip Schofield, was a different person post-watershed.
The star, who stepped into the breach on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! last year, stunned Keith.
She revealed her naughty side, leaving the host of the popular, outrageous show, utterly gobsmacked.
The 38-year-old shared an intimate sexual revelation.
Keith started the segment by welcoming Loose Women regular Stacey Solomon.
The former X Factor star was also taken aback by the exchange, which saw Keith ask Holly: “Hey sexy lady, do you want to make a baby?”
Holly replied: “Not really”
Keith then cheekily asked: "Is it nice making babies?”
Holly retorted: “I love making babies.”
Holly was seen giggling as Keith continued the line of questioning.
Unperturbed, controversial Keith asked her: “Have you ever produced?”
Holly, puzzled, asked: "Produced what?
Keith proclaimed: “No!"
Then, he added, to viewers's shock horror: "You know.
"A little, a little, fountain…”
Holly, a mum-of-three, asked: "Are you talking about squirting or something or other?"
Keith gleefully yelled “Yes!”
And Holly shut him down, saying: “No.”

A delicious and easy tea time snack for your friends and family. Fresh Parsley makes this traditional Potato Scotch egg recipe extra special.
Scotch eggs are one of those foods that have never gone out of favorite.I really love Scotch Eggs. Believe me this homemade potato scotch eggs are a world away from shop bought versions. They’re worth the effort for a special picnic treat. Packed with protein power, this summer fair favorite is easy to make in your home kitchen. Ready to eat in just 30 minutes, it makes a great start to the day, or a satisfying snack.
I have always been fascinated by Scotch eggs. I think they bring a little “wow” factor to any table. Scotch eggs are traditionally made with sausage meat wrapped around a hard boiled egg then breaded and deep fried. I wanted to shake up this UK savory treat with some Asian spices and do my own take on it. I decided instead of using a raw sausage meat, I would make a potato filling to wrap around the egg then bread it and deep fry it. I loved how these came out and they go perfectly with zeera rice and curry meal.
They also go well with a salad, bread, naan, etc… I think these beautiful eggs dress up any Asian or European table. If you are little worried about the size of the larger scotch eggs, I did make make a smaller version of this fun dish. I think the smaller version is actually a little more manageable to make and serve, although it doesn’t have the show-stopper look as the whole egg version when you cut them. Of course, both are equally tasty and fun and you will love to see them once they sit prettily on your table. Do try it, your kids will love it. Perfect for lunch box.

Pacific Grove Hospital - Facility Renovations & Anti-Ligature Assassment

SAN JOSE, Calif.—Theranos Inc.’s former No. 2 executive, Ramesh “Sunny” Balwani, was sentenced to nearly 13 years in prison for his involvement in an elaborate fraud scheme at the blood-testing company, capping a yearslong saga that became synonymous with the worst of Silicon Valley culture.
Mr. Balwani’s sentencing comes more than four years after the collapse of Theranos, which promised to revolutionize healthcare but peddled faulty technology to patients and investors, along the way delivering inaccurate health results and squandering hundreds of millions of dollars. Mr. Balwani helped lead the deception as Theranos’s president and chief operating officer, and along with his longtime romantic partner, he became the focus of one of the highest-profile white-collar cases in recent years.

What is the maximum 401k contribution for 2022 according to the IRS?
Workers will be able to send more money into their retirement savings in 2022 due to changes in the COLA, but Americans still face retirement insecurity.
The 401(k) plan is a retirement savings plan offered by many American employers that has tax advantages to the saver. It is named after a section of the US Internal Revenue Code, and it is facing changes in 2022.
This is tied up into inflation and the COLA increase for 2022. The Consumer Price Index increased 0.9 percent in October after rising 0.4 percent in September, the US Bureau of Labor Statistics reported. Over the last 12 months, the index increased 6.2 percent before seasonal adjustment, marking the highest rate of inflation in the country since 1990. This in turn has led to the Social Security Administration announcing a 5.9 percent cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) increase for 2022.
These changes mean workers will be allowed to submit more money into their retirement plans, as the money they have saved may not sufficient with high inflation levels.
What is changing about 401(k) in 2022?
The IRS announced the changes back at the start of November. The employee contribution limit for 401(k) plans is increasing to $20,500 in 2022, up from $19,500, and catch-up deposits for savers 50 and older will still be $6,500.
This change will also apply to people who use the 403(b), most 457 plans, and the federal government's Thrift Savings Plan.
The limit on annual contributions to an Individual Retirement Arrangements (IRA) remains unchanged at $6,000. The IRA catch-up contribution limit for individuals aged 50 and over is not subject to an annual cost-of-living adjustment and remains $1,000.
Although many have savings shortfalls, only 8.5% of workers maxed out company retirement plans in 2018, according to a report from the Congressional Research Service. However, the three federal stimulus checks led to more people being able to keep money saved, so the expanded ceiling for retirement funds could be a good place for people to store their money.
How are Social Security payments changing next year?
The 5.9 percent COLA increase means, the monthly average increase for all retired workers will jump by $92 in 2022, going from $1,565 to $1,657. This is over four times what the increase was for 2021, when the increase was only $20. The maximum monthly payment amount in 2022 for those that have reached full retirement age will rise $197, increasing to $3,345 from $3,148 in 2021.
The Supplemental Support Income (SSI) federal standard payments will increase to $841 per month for individuals, an increase of $47. For couples they could receive an additional $70 per month for a total of $1,261 in 2022.

High Pressure High Temperature Reactor PTFE Lined Autoclave Hydrothermal Synthetic Digestion Vessels
25mL, 50mL, 100mL, 200mL & 500mL Small Pressure Reactor
A.PTFE lined hydrothermal autoclave (3Mpa, Max.Temperature:220C)
B. PPL lined hydrothermal autoclave (3Mpa, Max. Temperature:280C)
Hydrothermal synthesis reactor is working under certain temperature and pressure conditions to dissolve the material. Mainly for material which doesn’t dissolution, poorly soluble material, or the reaction product of the dissolving substance. By controlling the temperature of the solution errand convection to form a supersaturated state and folding crystal growth. Hydrothermal synthesis reactor is used to the preparation or synthetic compound of nano materials. Also can used to do small synthesis reaction of crystal growth. Hydrothermal synthesis reactor is widely used in college laboratory.
Working Temperature：PTFE≤230℃，Safe Temperature is 200℃; PTFE≤280℃，Safe Temperature is 260℃. Strictly require temperature not to exceed the maximum use temperature.
Working Pressure：The pressure of the actual reactant in the kettle shall not exceed 3Mpa. The pressure generated by material synthesis requires the customer to accurately calculate the pressure generated at the temperature according to the different materials used in the experiment. The experiment must be conducted within the normal allowable range to ensure the safety of the experimenter.
PTFE Lining and PPL Lining：PPL is a kind of synthetic material added to PTFE, and its properties are better than those of PTFE alone. PPL can be used continuously at 260 ℃, with the highest operating temperature 280 ℃-300 ℃, very low friction coefficient, good wear resistance and excellent chemical stability.
Loading Capacity：The amount of solvent added to the reaction depends on different tests, generally 60%~80% of the inner cup capacity. If the reactant produces a large amount of gas, it is recommended to cool overnight and use perchloric acid. Hydrogen peroxide and so on should pay special attention!
Heating Equipment and Safety：Generally, the laboratory uses an oven for heating. The actual temperature control inside the oven should reach ± 2 ℃ to avoid excessive overheating. When the oven starts to heat up, there shall be no personnel in the room to prevent explosion injury! Enter the tank only after it is cooled to room temperature. Necessary safety protection measures shall be taken when taking the tank, such as face protection, hand protection, respiratory protection, etc.

The Benefits Of Sprinter Inventory Management Software
Imagine going into work at the warehouse on a Monday morning, getting ready to fulfill orders, only to realize you can’t. You don’t have enough stock, and your products aren’t well organized. Your deliveries are all coming out late, and some of them are even going to the wrong place. That’s a nightmare all Warehouse staff and managers hope to avoid. And thankfully, with the use of inventory management software, it can be.
A successful Inventory management operation is hard work, but there are systems out there to help remove a lot of the stress from the process. With these inventory management platforms, small businesses can stay competitive, and larger companies can more easily deal with complex daily operations.
What is Inventory Management?
Sprinter Inventory management is the practice of managing inventory to keep your supply chains running smoothly. Your customers are relying on good Inventory management practices so that they can get their orders accurately and on time.
Good storage and distribution warehouses often use Inventory management software to better organize and streamline their processes. Inventory being in the right place at the right time can significantly reduce the resources required to get your products to clients.
Though many warehouses use a Sprinter inventory management system (IMS) that often provides more features and services than they need, niche inclusions in inventory management systems such as inventory tracking work well and offer several benefits.

POLICE arrested two men after a stabbing.
The arrests come after a 27-year-old was taken to Sunderland Royal Hospital needing treatment for a stab wound to his lower back.
At 6.57pm on Sunday, police received reports of an assault at a house at Maypole Close, Southwick.
The injured man’s condition was not described as life threatening but police launched an investigation to discover how he had sustained the puncture wounds.
Inquiries led to the arrest of the two men, aged 32 and 30, on suspicion of wounding.
The pair were then questioned but have since been bailed pending further investigations.
A spokesman for Northumbria Police said: “At this stage, it’s believed those involved are known to each other.”
Police believe the stabbing happened inside the property and say there was no danger presented to members of the public.
However, officers are appealing for anyone with information to come forward.
Police are also carrying out inquiries in the nearby area to establish the circumstances leading up to the assault.
Anyone with information can contact police on 101 ext 69191 or Crimestoppers, on 0800 555 111.

Goals of Project: Time saving technics
Project Time Period : 3 hr on Artcam / 8 hrs on Router
Processes Used: 3D Modeling / 3D Routing
Software Used: Artcam
Material for process: Wood
Process approach: Crenshaw was interested in reducing the time to the customer for their hand carved doors. By using some automation and finishing with a hand carved procedure that gave the door a look of real hand carving. A drawing was scanned into the computer and then imported into Artcam, which then colors were associated with the different features. The model was developed and toolpaths generated. Then routed on a 3 axis router. The time savings for the customer was 75% of the time to hand carve the door from scratch. The parts were then run with lights out and delivered to the customer within the 24 hr time goal.

“One of our primary aims on the new record was to sound cinematic and widescreen,” Justin Young explains. “We frequently referenced composers like John Barry, Bruno Nicolai and Ennio Morricone, and the album version of ‘Paranormal Romance’ was probably the closest that we came to paying direct homage to their work. So to be lucky enough to have the song orchestrated by Rosie (Danvers, orchestrator) and then to record it in Studio 2 at Abbey Road is what dreams are made of.”

A poem by Alexander Pushkin – Pouchkine, Pooshkin (1799-1837), in English translation
In lakeside leafy groves, a friar
Escaped all worries; there he passed
His summer days in constant prayer,
Deep studies and eternal fast.
Already with a humble shovel
The elder dug himself a grave –
As, calling saints to bless his hovel,
Death; nothing other; did he crave.
So once, upon a falling night, he
Was bowing by his wilted shack
With meekest prayer to the Almighty.
The grove was turning slowly black;
Above the lake a mist was lifting;
Through milky clouds across the sky
The ruddy moon was softly drifting,
When water drew the friar’s eye…
He’s looking puzzled, full of trouble,
Of fear he cannot quite explain,
He sees the waves begin to bubble
And suddenly grow calm again.
Then — white as first snow in the highlands,
Light-footed as nocturnal shade,
There comes ashore, and sits in silence
Upon the bank, a naked maid.
She eyes the monk and brushes gently
Her hair, and water off her arms.
He shakes with fear and looks intently
At her, and at her lovely charms.
With eager hand she waves and beckons,
Nods quickly, smiles as from afar
And shoots, within two flashing seconds,
Into still water like a star.
The glum old man slept not an instant;
All day, not even once he prayed:
Before his eyes still hung and glistened
The wondrous, the relentless shade…
The grove puts on its gown of nightfall;
The moon walks on the cloudy floor;
And there’s the maiden; pale, delightful,
Reclining on the spellbound shore.
She looks at him, her hair she brushes,
Blows airy kisses, gestures wild,
Plays with the waves; caresses, splashes –
Now laughs, now whimpers like a child,
Moans tenderly, calls louder, louder…
“Come, monk, come, monk! To me, to me!..”
Then; disappears in limpid water,
And all is silent instantly…
On the third day the zealous hermit
Was sitting by the shore, in love,
Awaiting the delightful mermaid,
As shade was covering the grove…
Dark ceded to the sun’s emergence;
Our monk had wholly disappeared –
Before a crowd of local urchins,
While fishing, found his hoary beard.
translated by: Genia Gurarie

Leander Mayor Salary: Does the Leander Mayor Get Paid?
A lot of voters ask about the Leander Mayor salary. You may be surprised to learn that the Mayor and City Council of Leander are volunteer positions. In fact, all boards and commissions that are appointed as part of the City of Leander are unpaid positions. This is important to understand as is knowing the duties of the council and mayor as it relates to a city like Leander Texas.
What is the Primary Duty of the Leander Mayor?
The mayor of Leander should first have a strong vision for the future of the city. This vision is not something that the Mayor has direct power to implement. The mayor of Leander is able to work with that vision along with other members of the council (spoiler alert: the council and the mayor have the same voting power!) in a way that relates to the budget of the city. Yes, that is the one duty and power that both the Leander City Council and the Mayor have – influence on the city’s budget.
The Leander city budget is presented by a paid individual, the city manager. It is the city manager who is chiefly responsible for putting together an annual budget based on a vision provided to him or her by the Leander Mayor and City Council. The Mayor and Council then deliberate the budget and work to modify it or vote to pass it.
Are there Other Duties of the City Council and Mayor?
The Leander Mayor and City Council also work with committees on a variety of issues. These range from planning/zoning, economic development, and event planning. Indeed these items extend far beyond this reach, but it is important to note that it all comes back to the budget and finances of the city. That is the chief concern of the Leander Mayor and City Council.
Residents often believe that the Mayor and City Council have the power to make changes that they can not. For example, the Mayor nor the members of the City Council can overrule your neighborhood HOA. However, a great Mayor will be willing to speak to the HOA on a resident’s behalf if there is something that could at some point cause an issue in relation to the city. You should always feel welcome to reach out to your Mayor or City Council as they are community leaders, and as such, they are often able to provide insights to help with a variety of issues or to point you in the right direction with a contact that works for the City of Leander.
Leander Mayor Salary: Should There Be One?
As our city of Leander grows, the debate about having a Leander Mayor Salary and pay for the Leander City Council will continue to be amplified. Most members of the City Council and the Mayor also have full time jobs. Having to balance these can be a challenge for anyone, the Mayor and Council not excluded. It is important to point out that we have a wonderful city staff of well qualified individuals who are able to help citizens with a variety of questions.
You should always feel welcome to reach out to the City of Leander, the City Council, or to the Mayor. Whether or not there is a salary, every citizen should receive a timely, fair, and honest response to his or her needs as a resident of our city. Let’s work together to make Leander an even better city for all of us.
