Two Carmarthenshire castles, Carreg Cennen and Llansteffan, are vying to be crowned the UK's most romantic ruin.
They are on a shortlist of 10 drawn up for Countryfile magazine.
Alex Jones, presenter of the BBC's One Show, has given her support to Carreg Cennen, and the public are being asked to vote for the winner.
The ruins of Carreg Cennen stand on the edge of a 325 ft (100m) cliff near Llandeilo, while Llansteffan overlooks the mouth of the Towy estuary.
The shortlist was compiled from an original list of 50 by a panel including BBC Countryfile presenters John Craven and Jules Hudson.
The other ruins on the list are Corfe Castle, Dunluce Castle, Dunstanburgh Castle, Fountains Abbey, Kenilworth Castle, Kilchurn Castle, Sweetheart Abbey and Whitby Abbey.
Both Welsh castles are looked after by the heritage body Cadw.
Alex Jones, who is originally from nearby Ammanford, said of Carreg Cennen: "Much of the castle, of course, has been lost but it's a wonderful place.
"The last time I visited Carreg Cennen was about five years ago, with my boyfriend at the time. I wanted to show him where I used to go when I was a child and, of course, it's a very romantic place.
"When I go there now, all the memories come flooding back and I'm like a child again. I have very clear recollections of everything we used to do."
Meanwhile, Cadw describes Llansteffan as "an impressive, dramatically sited stronghold crowning a hilltop".
Heritage Minister Alun Ffred Jones said: "It's great to see the castles of Carreg Cennen and Llansteffan, which surely rank amongst the most photogenic of Welsh historic sites, getting the recognition they deserve.
"I urge as many people as possible to vote for these Welsh wonders as it would be great to see them crowned as the UK's most romantic ruins."

Guns in the US? Let’s talk about Gun Ownership in Europe
The United States of America has the 2nd amendment which provides its citizens the right to bear arms. This right to gun ownership is a hot topic of debate every time a mass shooting takes place, which sends innocent people into their early graves. There are limitations on who can buy a gun, with background checks taking place. There are limitations on what kind of weaponry you can buy. Nonetheless, this is not considered enough. Moreover, it will never be considered enough.
Many articles exist that aim to convince people all guns should be banned. This article will not focus on banning guns. It will not focus on the United States. We are going to talk about the right to own guns in Europe, and why we should own more.
Gun Ownership in Europe
Contrary to what people are made to belief, there are guns in Europe. There are large differences per country, depending on laws and regulations. The map below will give an indication of where the European guns are.
The information of the map above was gathered by the Washington Post and shows the number of guns per 100 inhabitants. The number is slightly different from the percentage of gun owners, since those that own multiple guns will skew the data. Furthermore, the data does not tell us what kind of guns they are. A hunting rifle is obviously rather different from an AR-15. Of course, no European country comes close to the 112 guns per 100 citizens that the United States has. Hence, we are not saying the American system is perfect. Yet, this is not a black or white situation.
The Idea Behind Gun Ownership – Hunting
Gun ownership is often defended by two arguments; the guns are used for hunting, or the gun is used for self-defense. The idea of hunting explains gun ownership in Alaska and Finland, where nature rules the land and vast forests are spread around the towns. However, most people never go hunting and it is not a common spare time activity across Europe anymore. This does not make it a bad argument, but it makes it a relatively weak one. On top of that, you only need a rifle to hunt. Hand guns or rapid fire are not common tools when it comes to hunting.
The Idea Behind Gun Ownership – Self-Defense
That brings us to the second argument; self-defense. Europe praises itself on being a safe area of the globe, with relatively low crime rates. Europeans see gun legalization as something that will change that. They fear walking over the street and being harassed by thugs and crime gangs. Nobody wants a society where it becomes easier for criminals to acquire weapons. Nobody would want the mass shootings that appear so common in the United States to spread to Europe. Europeans feel safe enough and trust the police sufficiently to feel no need to have a gun for self-defense.
However, Europe faces other threats than just those of its criminals. Although the United States is protected by oceans on both sides, the nations of Europe have no such protection. Europe is a continent with a history of invasions and being invaded. When it comes to invasions, how useful would it be to be able to protect yourself?
Guns in Switzerland
Having said all that, most of you will still believe guns will lead to more crime. That is, until we look at Switzerland. Switzerland has one gun for every two people in the country. It has half the guns per capita the United States has, but it has only one-tenth as many killings by firearms. Historians say that the Swiss gun ownership is one of the reasons the Germans did not invade them during World War 2. The Swiss would have made it too difficult for the National-Socialists to control the country as shots could be fired by every household.
The Swiss history of gun ownership goes alongside a long history of neutrality in Europe’s many wars. Everyone avoided Switzerland, believing the costs of an invasion would outweigh the gains. Of course it is aided by its Alpine location, hidden in the mountains and not posing any major strategic value. Yet, although this location lowered the gains, it was gun ownership that increased the costs involved with invasion.
Crime in the United Kingdom
The UK has taken a very different approach to guns. They cracked down hard and in turn saw an increase in crime and violence. Knives became more common, and even acid is now used as a weapon on the streets of London. Lacking guns, those that seek to do harm have found other ways. The explosion in Manchester near an Ariana Grande concert is just one example. Vehicles and machetes have replaced the gun.
An Imperfect Correlation
We must maintain this awareness; guns and crime do not form a perfect correlation. Yes, with guns it is easier to commit a crime and to harm a lot of people. No, guns do not cause crime. In order to combat crime and make our countries safe, we should not seek to take away the gun, we should seek to take away those that do harm. We must figure out how the Swiss can have guns with low crime rates, while the United States has many more firearm homicides, and while the United Kingdom has spikes in violent crime while it banned guns.
The Great Benefit for Europe
Europe, and the European Union alike, seeks peace. Switzerland is an example of a nation of peace. Switzerland remains neutral in war, and is not invaded as it would prove too difficult to control. Poland has been conquered many times in history, putting up strong resistance but ultimately not able to withstand the might of Germany and Russia. Poland currently only has 1.3 guns per 100 inhabitants.
Although Poland invests in its army, its army would stand no chance against Russia. Although Poland is part of NATO, the United States is showing reluctance to continue with its prominent role as police officer of the world, and France and the United Kingdom have watched Poland being conquered before. They promised to join the war if Hitler invaded Poland, which gave Poland a false sense of security. Although they did join the war eventually, after some delay, they handed Poland to the Soviet Union at the end of the war. Rather than Poland being liberated by its allies, it was handed to another conqueror. Clearly, Poland should learn from the past and not place too much trust in its allies.
What would really help Poland is gun ownership for its inhabitants. If you wish to deter war in Europe, it must be too costly to invade a country. To eliminate the threat of a Russian invasion of the east, we must arm the people in Europe. The Nazi’s and Soviet’s could not be defeated by its resistance movements, precisely because its inhabitants had been disarmed.
The Road Ahead…
Any form of gun legalization requires background checks, limitations and sensible regulations. It must be implemented in phases to allow people to get used to it. Perhaps as a start, rifles should be easier to own, the kind with single-shot fire. Handguns can be allowed to be kept inside the house, but not to carry around in public. Firearm crime must be severely punished. All these things are possible as long as there is a will.
A free and prosperous Europe, one without war and totalitarian regimes, needs its inhabitants to own guns.

The 2013 Great American Beer Festival (GABF) wrapped up this weekend in Denver, CO. This annual celebration of suds has grown to host nearly 50,000 attendees who have an opportunity to sample more than 3,000 beers from over 600 American breweries. Beer lovers from around the country and the globe descended on Denver for what many consider an annual tradition.
The Growler headed to Denver to take part in the spectacle that is the GABF. We met folks that were attending every single session and people that traveled from far away with no intention of attending the actual festival at all. We met casual craft beer consumers and some serious beer snobs. There was one thing we all had in common: A love of beer.
The GABF can be an overwhelming endeavor, so we’re breaking it down to an elemental level. The ABCs of the GABF is our way of sharing with you the highlights of our palate-exhausting expedition to Denver’s one-of-a-kind beer fest.

In the early 1970s a young guitarist from Austin, Texas began to make his name on the local blues circuit, committed as he was to a musical form many thought outdated. A decade on, that same guitarist became an international superstar. A player of passion, energy and awe-inspiring technical virtuosity, Stevie Ray Vaughan not only brought the blues heritage of his home state to a global audience, he reinvigorated the genre itself, introducing it to a new generation of listeners in the process. This film reveals and dissects the formative years of Stevie Ray Vaughan's career - his influences, his first recordings and the bands with whom he honed his craft - and traces the history of Texas blues itself, identifying Vaughan's place within this larger tradition. It is the journey of both a musical form and the single-minded musician who brought it firmly back into the spotlight after decades of neglect. Featuring rare archive footage, exclusive interviews, contributions from the musicians with whom Stevie Ray worked and the people who knew him best, seldom seen photographs and a host of other features which all at once provide for the finest document on the celebrated late guitarist yet to emerge. 2 hrs., 11 min.

Airfix A08001 Avro Lancaster B.II Bomber 1:72 Scale
- “Z-Zombie”, No.408 (Goose) Squadron, 6 Group, Royal Canadian Air Force, Royal Air Force Linton-on-Ouse, Yorkshire, July 1944
- “Fanny Ferkin II” No.514 Squadron, 3 Group, Royal Air Force Waterbeach, Cambridgeshire, November 1944
Of the RAF bombers involved in operations over Germany during the Second World War, the Avro Lancaster must rank as the most famous of them all. Although Merlin engines were the more usual power plant for the Lancaster, not all were produced using them. Due to the demands put on Rolls Royce by the production aircraft such as the Supermarine Spitfire and the DeHavilland Mosquito, there loomed a potential shortage of the vital Merlin and the BII variant was equipped with Bristol Hercules radial engines instead. The first of which was completed in September 1942.
Faster to 18,000ft, these radial engines were also able to soak up more damage than the normally fitted Merlin. However, the service ceiling was lower and with the percieved shortage over by 1944, the BII was phased out of service at the start on 1945. A worthy alternative to the normal variants, the BII proved to be popular with its crews and a capable version of the excellent bomber.

Calcium signal modulating cyclophilin ligand
cyclophilin B binding protein
The immunosuppressant drug cyclosporin A blocks a calcium dependent signal from the T cell receptor (TCR) that normally leads to T cell activation. When bound to cyclophilin B, cyclosporin A binds and inactivates the key signaling intermediate calcineurin. The protein encoded by this gene functions similarly to cyclosporin A, binding to cyclophilin B and acting downstream of the TCR and upstream of calcineurin by causing an influx of calcium. This integral membrane protein appears to be a new participant in the calcium signal transduction pathway, implicating cyclophilin B in calcium signaling, even in the absence of cyclosporin.

Taking Effective Board Meeting Or so minutes
Board conference minutes are definitely the official records of so what happened during a board meeting. They offer a record of the decisions manufactured and help to patrol the board against any legalities that may arise down the road.
Taking Powerful Minutes
You need to take moments at every board meeting mainly because they’re a vital document that needs to be stored correctly and shared with the associates of your organization. These types of documents as well allow you to track the actions and plans that have been applied by the board and your leadership workforce.
A good pair of meeting mins will include this information:
o Attendance and Participation: note who was in attendance (and whether they had been attending remotely); if a maturité was accomplished; and once the assembly started and ended. o Sorry should be said and policy riders of interest in respect of matters to the agenda ought to be recorded.
Process: click here for info Observing who participated in the dialogue, inputs received and virtually any relevant decisions taken through the meeting (including the process measures involved). Often , these are not mentioned or referenced in the minutes, but needs to be included.
Decisions: Including the rationale for every decision manufactured by the plank can provide a significant starting point the moment reviewing a new pitch, project or perhaps policy which may have been approved by the mother board but that hasn’t exercised as expected.
Applying an objective, nicely written style of mins can help to ensure that your meetings are efficient and effective. They can likewise help you steer clear of any kind of legal difficulties that might happen in the future, particularly if a panel member’s affirmation or action is misunderstood by courts.

“The Knesset chairman said it would be great and it was an aspiration, this should probably become reality. This would give a spur to tourism,” Pranckietis told journalists at the Lithuanian parliament on Wednesday after meeting with Edelstein.
In Pranckietis’ words, about 20,000 tourists from Israel visit Lithuania every year.
“Our people could also go there for the warmth. As they said in an informal conversation – when our sea is the warmest, theirs is the coldest. Our people could extend their holidays and summer in that country,” the Lithuanian parliamentary speaker said.
Currently, only Wizzair budget airline flies between Vilnius and Tel Aviv.
Security situation and economic cooperation were high on the agenda of the meeting with the Knesset speaker, said Pranckietis, noting Lithuania was interested in future imports of liquefied natural gas from Israel.
“They have gas deposits, we buy gas, we want our people to be able to get heating at a low price. If they offered a good price, it would be great,” he added.
The Lithuanian parliamentary speaker emphasized that he and the Knesset leader had the same stance on the situation in Ukraine.
“Of course, we touched upon the Ukrainian issue. They also stand in solidarity with Ukraine, refusing to recognize annexation of Crimea, they know that the problem should be resolved in one way – territorial integrity of Ukraine,” said Pranckietis.
Lithuania also asked Israel to support its position on the Astravyets nuclear power plant under construction in Belarus close to Lithuania’s border, as Lithuania considers it unsafe and does not want other countries to buy its energy.
Edelstein, in his turn, volunteered to share his experience on communication with diaspora abroad. He also suggested holding video conferences between parliaments.
During the three-day visit in Lithuania, the Knesset speaker met with Lithuanian President Dalia Grybauskaitė and Prime Minister Saulius Skvernelis, visited the memorial to the Holocaust victims in Paneriai, outside Vilnius, as well as the Jewish Community Center and Sholom Aleichem ORT High School in the Lithuanian capital.
Lithuania is one of the strongest European supporters of Israel in the international diplomatic arena. Lithuania in 2011 was one of just 14 countries that voted against Palestine’s UNESCO membership. The Baltic country last May voted against a UNESCO resolution condemning Israel’s actions in Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip.
Israel’s Rafael company has received a large order from the Lithuanian Armed Forces to supply remote-controlled weapon systems for German-made Boxer armored vehicles.

Between the many hearings on Capitol Hill and antitrust investigations happening both in the U.S. and abroad, it would seem as though regulations are coming for the tech industry — and in some ways, are already here. But is the government ready to play referee in Silicon Valley? For the panelists at Fortune’s Brainstorm Tech town hall, the answer seems to be: not very.
“Marketplace” host Kai Ryssdal moderated the event, held in Aspen, Colorado, on July 16. The panel included a variety of perspectives on the tech industry, including Elizabeth Banker from the Internet Association; Diane Katz from The Heritage Foundation; Tekedra Mawakana from Waymo; Corynne McSherry from the Electronic Frontier Foundation; and Luigi Zingales from the University of Chicago Booth School of Business.

|Abstract:||Graphene oxide (GO) thin films on glass and plastic substrates were found to display interesting broadband nonlinear optical properties. We have investigated their optical limiting activity for femtosecond laser pulses at 800 and 400 nm, which could be tuned by controlling the extent of reduction. The as-prepared GO films were found to exhibit excellent broadband optical limiting behaviors, which were significantly enhanced upon partial reduction by using laser irradiation or chemical reduction methods. The laser-induced reduction of GO resulted in enhancement of effective two-photon absorption coefficient at 400 nm by up to ∼19 times and enhancement of effective two- and three-photon absorption coefficients at 800 nm by ∼12 and ∼14.5 times, respectively. The optical limiting thresholds of partially reduced GO films are much lower than those of various previously reported materials. Highly reduced GO films prepared by using the chemical method displayed strong saturable absorption behavior. © 2012 American Chemical Society.|

Maxy is just one of the dogs waiting for his forever home. CREDIT: RSPCA
Submitted by Suzanne Norbury
Animal charity, the RSPCA fear that the impact of 'lockdown puppies' and the coming recession following the Covid-19 pandemic will hit already-struggling rescue centres hard in the coming months. The charity revealed that this year there have been 443 recorded incidents about dogs in Berkshire alone.
189,800 reports related to dogs were made to its emergency hotline in 2019 and 45,181 dog incidents have been dealt with this year (up to September 29), with officers in Berkshire dealing with over 400 of them. The RSPCA fears that next year could be even worse.
During lockdown, Google searches for ‘puppies near me’ increased sixfold (650 per cent) with 15,000 searches compared to 2,000 in January 2020. Government figures show the numbers of licences issued for the commercial import of dogs more than doubled from 5,964 (June - August 2019) to 12,733 for the same three-month period this year. The figures suggest that this rise in demand is fuelling a worrying trend in breeding and importing of puppies, a potentially exploitative and damaging trade which can cause suffering to dogs.
This raises concerns among RSPCA experts that an impending dog welfare crisis could be on the horizon in 2021 as families return to normal life and may no longer be able to take care of the puppy they bought during lockdown. Coupled with a fear that the end of furlough and the deepening recession will hit families hard and some may no longer be able to afford their pets, this could put pressure on the already-stretched resources of rescue centres.
The charity is urging families to do lots of research and ensure they can commit long-term to a dog before bringing one home, but this Adoptober, it is also championing the benefits of rescuing instead of buying a puppy.
RSPCA chief executive Chris Sherwood said: “We have seen a rise in people searching for dogs to adopt during lockdown, which is fantastic, but at the same time, there appears to be a rise in people looking to buy puppies.
“We know that there are not enough puppies bred in the UK to meet the demands of those who want to buy them and, worryingly, there appears to be a surge in puppies coming in from outside the UK. The problem with this is that, although breeders from countries like Romania are licensed, we have no way of checking the conditions those animals are being kept in and we fear that sales like these could be fuelling cruel puppy farms as well as exposing puppies to long and stressful journeys.
“We are all used to being able to buy whatever we want when we want it but we’re urging people to thoroughly do their research before committing to getting any dog and to make sure they don’t get caught out by people acting illegally or irresponsibly. We have lots of dogs waiting for their forever homes so please do consider getting a rescue dog. Although it is really tempting to buy a puppy, those from abroad may have been bred in poor conditions, leaving them with potentially serious medical and behavioural problems whereas adopting from somewhere like the RSPCA where staff have really got to know the dog, means you get the advice and support you need.
“If families would still prefer to buy a dog, we’re encouraging them to use The Puppy Contract. This is a free online tool that will help find responsible breeders and a happy, healthy dog.”
Throughout the month of October, the RSPCA is shining a light on animals in its care which need a new home and promoting the benefits of adopting a rescue animal through its Adoptober campaign. The RSPCA is the UK's biggest rehomer, finding 39,178 homes for pets last year - that’s 107 a day, or four an hour.
The RSPCA’s national centres and branches rehomed 7,480 dogs last year. But, this year, staff fear an impending dog welfare crisis as families suffering in the recession abandon their pets and others returning to work hand their pets over to rescue centres who are already struggling due to the financial impact of the pandemic.
One dog looking for a home at RSPCA Blackberry Farm Animal Centre is Maxy, a 9-year-old crossbreed. Maxy is a very sweet and affectionate boy who certainly does not act his age. He just loves cuddles and attention. He came to the centre in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire as he was being kept in a scrap yard for long periods of time. Maxy will need to go back to basics as it is not known if he's ever been in a home before. He is starting to show signs of arthritis in his older age and he is on life long treatment to help him but it is hoped that this does not put adopters off giving this handsome chap a forever home. To find out more about how to adopt Maxy please visit his page here.
Under the current Covid rehoming protocols anyone interested in fostering or adopting an animal from the RSPCA should visit the website to see which animals are available near you and should check with their local centre for the current process applicable in that area.
Due to the amount of interest they are receiving and the impact of Covid on their staffing levels, please bear with them as centres are very busy at this time. To find out more please visit the website.
If you’re not in a position to give a pet a home this October, you can still help thousands of animals in the RSPCA's care by donating here, sponsoring a dog kennel or cat pod for just £1.50 a week, or supporting the work of your local RSPCA here.

Couldn't resist the challenge at Less is More this week - using washi tape. I love washi tape and my box is quite full, still room for more though, especially as I never seem to have just the right colour or pattern!
I absolutely adore this card by Chrissie Stokes using home-made washi. The colours and stamps are just so perfect and the instructions for making washi don't seem too difficult - might well have a go. But not in time for my card. I had some under used Christmas washi, so went down that route. So quick and simple to make, which is always a bonus for Christmas cards.
All from my stash
Thanks for looking.

Winter too harsh for serious sorghum pest
An unwelcome guest in the area, a heavy infestation of the sugarcane aphid was detected in the Claytonville area in early September. A subtropical species, the serious crop pest invaded the region by catching a ride on strong summer breezes originating from South Texas.
Once on the Texas High Plains, the insects showed their appetite for grain sorghum and Johnson grass by rapidly multiplying and migrating to adjacent fields. The hungry pests remove nutrients from host plants and cause leaf damage, and they reproduce so rapidly that the honeydew produced by their colonies can literally gum up the works in combines to the extent that they interfere with harvesting.
Blayne Reed, AgriLife Extension integrated pest management agent for Hale, Swisher and Floyd counties, has good news for area growers after keeping watch on the pest since it was first detected in the area.
On Tuesday, he and AgriLife Extension District 2 Entomologist Dr. Pat Porter concluded their Sugarcane Aphid Overwintering Site Trial new Hale Center. “I am happy to report,” he said in his IPM blog, “that we found no surviving sugarcane aphids in the overwintering site.”
Reed purposely infested the test site with sugarcane aphids taken from colonies in grain sorghum near Claytonville. He also made sure that he had a thriving and established population of aphids within his predator exclusion cage area before the first killing freeze in November.
On Tuesday, Reed and Porter returned to the test plot to see if any of the aphids made it through the winter.
“All green Johnson grass shoots, crowns, actively growing leaves and stalks, plus most rhizomes were methodically checked above ground and below for the aphid with no survivors found,” Reed reported on his blog.
Based on that study, Reed and Porter are reasonably certain that the sugarcane aphid did not overwinter on the High Plains. “They could very easily migrant in annually, much like the fall armyworm or the sorghum midge, and are very likely to do so,” he added.
The first heavy investigation of sugarcane aphids last fall were discovered by Clay Golden, an independent crop consultant, on Sept. 9. They would found in the same area were Reed had found individual adult sugarcane aphids about 16 days earlier.
The pest moved from the Lower Rio Grande Valley into the Blacklands and northern Blacklands earlier last summer and was confirmed in the Concho Valley in West Central Texas as well. It was first identified in Texas during summer 2013, but has been in Florida since 1977 and Louisiana since 1999.

2021 Youtube Trending Videos Analysis on Three Categories
MAT 259, 2022
Due to Covid-19, most of the people have to work from home or study online, so there are a significant growth in the view counts of different kinds of videos. Hence, my research topic of the final project is to find some interesting results from the analysis of youtube trending videos. I have narrowed down the dataset to three major categorys, which are Howto & Style (category_id 26), Education(category_id 27), and Science & Technology(category_id 28).
I used python to clean the primary data and stored them in three new data files. I parsed the original date and time information into three new columns, which are published date, published time and trending day. Then I create a new column of response count which is the sum of likes, dislikes and comment_count. In the new dataset, there are 8 columns including title, channelTitle, categoryId, view_count, response_count, published_date, published_time and trending_day. Every row represents a record of one trending video. Although some videos have the same title, published_date, and published_time, they have different view_count, response_count and trending_day. Hence, through analyzing these videos, you can see the trend of the change in their counting data.
In the visualization process, I draw every video record as a 3D point and design the coordinates like this, X axis showing the published_date, Y axis showing the published_time and Z axis showing the view_count. Meanwhile, I also use the response_count as the length of the line starting with the video point. The categoryId will decide the color of every video, such as the red is the color of category Howto & Style, the yellow being the color of Education and the blue being the color of Science & Technology. Due to the view_count number being significantly larger than the days and times, I mapped the X axis and Y axis between -200 and 200, whereas mapped the Z axis between - 600 and 600 for clearly showing the variations among the view_count of different video points. Moreover, I also designed some interactions and rotating effects with the controlP5 buttons and keyboard pressing. The following images illustrate the latest progress in my visualization results.


Israeli Port City Gets Iron Dome Anti-Rocket System
The Israeli army on Monday deployed a second battery of its Iron Dome short-range missile defense system, this time around the southern port city of Ashkelon, a military spokeswoman said.
"This battery was deployed around Ashkelon for security reasons, this is the second system to become operational after the deployment around Beersheva," she said, without giving further details.
The first battery of the unique multi-million dollar system came into operation on March 27 outside the southern desert city of Beersheva, just days after it was hit by several Grad rockets fired by militants from the northern Gaza Strip.
Ashkelon, which has a population of some 113,000, has also recently come under attack from Grad rockets, which have a range of up to 50 kilometers.
The defense system, the first of its kind in the world and still at the experimental stage, is not yet able to provide complete protection against the hundreds of rockets fired from Gaza into southern Israel, officials have said.
On Sunday, Defense Minister Ehud Barak said Israel would raise to six the number of Iron Dome batteries in operation over the next two years.
The system, developed by Israel's Rafael Advanced Defense Systems with the help of U.S. funding, is designed to intercept rockets and artillery shells fired from a range of between four and 70 kilometers.
Over the past five years, militants in Gaza and in south Lebanon have fired thousands of projectiles at the Jewish state, and Israel is planning to deploy the system along both borders.
Iron Dome will join the Arrow long-range ballistic missile defense system in an ambitious multi-layered program to protect Israeli cities from rockets and missiles fired from Lebanon or Gaza, Syria or Iran.
A third system, known as David's Sling, is currently under development with the aim of countering medium-range missiles.

“Now is a critical time for discussing problems and opportunities in the criminal justice system,” said former Attorney General Edwin Meese in opening remarks at a Vera Congressional Forum titled, “Protecting our Communities: Getting the Facts for Effective Public Safety Solutions,” held on June 12, 2013, at the Capitol Visitors Center in Washington, DC. Mr. Meese set the stage by endorsing innovation that uses “data-first” approaches to tackle over-criminalization, improve sentencing, develop prisons that “turn people out better than they come in,” and provide the formerly incarcerated with incentives to stay out of prison.
“In future years, people will look back at this time as a real renaissance in the criminal justice system,” said Denise O’Donnell, director of the Bureau of Justice Assistance at the U.S. Department of Justice, who kicked of the afternoon’s first panel, “A Data-Driven Approach to Reform.” She pointed to bipartisan efforts that span the justice system, including pretrial process, policing, community corrections, and justice reinvestment.
Other panelists included Luceia LeDoux, vice president of Public Safety and Government Oversight at Baptist Community Ministries in New Orleans; Peggy McGarry, director of Vera’s Center on Sentencing and Corrections; and Jim Parsons, director of Vera’s Substance Use and Mental Health Program.
Ms. LeDoux described how using data in New Orleans’ high-crime environment is helping to reform the city’s justice system. She pointed to efforts such as Vera’s expedited screening which, in two years, has reduced the average time people who have been arrested are detained in jail awaiting charges from 60 days down to just six. Ms. McGarry provided a history of data gathering in the justice system and how its use has been, “an essential component for making communities safer with efforts such as justice reinvestment.” Mr. Parsons noted that government agencies hold vast amounts of data that can help inform policies aimed at saving money while keeping communities safe—but that they need better tools to share and use the data that is available to them. As an example, he spoke about research his team has done to enhance data sharing between community health providers and correctional agencies, which may reduce both health disparities and recidivism.
The second panel, “Faith, Family, and the Future,” turned to some inventive public safety efforts that aim to prevent justice system involvement in the first place, as well as limit the collateral consequences of conviction. Panelists were Eugene Schneeberg, director of the Center for Faith-Based & Neighborhood Partnerships in the Office of Justice Programs at the U.S. Department of Justice; Craig DeRoche, president of the Justice Fellowship; Margaret diZerega, director of Vera’s Family Justice Program; and Fred Patrick, director of Vera's Pathways from Prison to Postsecondary Education Project.
“Father is a verb,” said Mr. Schneeberg, who described the holistic approach his program deploys to reduce or even prevent justice system involvement by promoting responsible fatherhood and preventing youth and gang violence. Mr. DeRoche followed by saying that, “the crime people committed wasn’t their problem, it was their solution.” Noting that the 65 million people in the U.S. who have been incarcerated have the potential to change and actually become a powerful asset, he pushed for programs that provide mentors or person-to-person supports.
“Data needs to be balanced with values,” said Ms. diZerega. She described the creative work that Vera’s Family Justice Program is doing to build on social supports and family strengths, such as a program with the Housing Authority of New Orleans that recognizes the resources families provide at the point of reentry, and to test protocols for reuniting people returning to the community from jail with their families in public housing. Mr. Patrick described Pathways from Prison to Postsecondary Education, a project with strong bipartisan support being piloted in three states (Michigan, New Jersey, and North Carolina), which is providing postsecondary education to inmates in prison starting two years before release, and continuing in the community for two years after, with the goal of helping them obtain a degree or certificate. While the project focuses on education, Mr. Patrick said, “its aim is to create vibrant and safe communities.”
At the reception following the forum, several Members of Congress provided remarks on ways to keep communities safe that reflected the themes of innovative and data-driven solutions, including Senator Sheldon Whitehouse from Rhode Island, Representative Bobby Scott from Virginia’s 3rd District, Representative Grace Meng from New York’s 6th district, and Representative Hank Johnson from Georgia’s 4th District.
A correction has been made to the original version of this post to reflect the role of expedited screening in reducing the time from charge to arrest in New Orleans.

Ladies and gentlemen, you must trust me here and make this pie. It’s a dessert. It’s made with spaghetti squash. It tastes like coconut. I don’t know how the transformation happens, but I do know that I lied to a room full of house guests and told them that it was a coconut pie and not only did they believe me, but they ate the entire thing in one sitting. The sliver that I got to taste was seriously excellent. It goes without saying that the person who invented this is a genius!
Here’s what you need:
- 1 cup white sugar
- 3 eggs
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups cooked, shredded spaghetti squash
- 1 deep (9 inch) pie shell, baked
- 1 pinch ground nutmeg (optional)
- 1 pinch ground cinnamon (optional)
- 1 1/2 cups whipped cream for garnish (optional)
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Beat the sugar and eggs together in a mixing bowl until light and frothy. Beat in the butter, lemon juice, and vanilla until well blended. Stir in the spaghetti squash. Pour the mixture into the prebaked pie shell. If desired, dust the top with nutmeg and cinnamon.
- Bake the pie in preheated oven until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes. Cool on a rack before serving. Garnish with whipped cream, if desired.
Please make this as soon as possible and then report back here and tell me what you think. I’m eager to hear whether you folks are as amazed as I was on how incredible this pie was. I still can’t get over the 3 cups of squash that serve as the primary ingredient. Simply amazing.

ATLANTA INVESTORS LEAST BULLISH
High-net-worth investors in Atlanta are the least bullish nationally among eight metropolitan cities surveyed in a new poll by Morgan Stanley Wealth Management.
Those with $100,000 or more in investable assets were broadly optimistic about global, national and state economies.
“But Atlantans are less optimistic about the recovery of real estate than in other parts of the country,” said Steve Austin, Atlanta-based regional director of Morgan Stanley Wealth Management.
Of 303 Atlanta investors polled, 64 percent said foreclosures had impacted their neighborhoods. Even the proportion of underwater mortgages among high-net-worth investors — 11 percent — was nearly three times the national average of 4 percent.

Here’s a sobering truth: The constructing sector is dragging down world efforts to scale back carbon emissions.
According to Yamina Saheb, lead writer of a brand new report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), insurance policies that favor wasteful new development, and do little to encourage environmentally minded retrofits, have hindered the constructing business’s capability to curb its footprint. The report, which was written by greater than 270 researchers who have been convened by the United Nations in 2019, states that world emissions from buildings reached 12 gigatons that 12 months, or 21% of worldwide emissions worldwide. Some estimates present that proportion to have virtually doubled since.
It’s all of the extra unsettling since many particular person architects have striven to scale back their carbon emissions over the previous decade, by means of efforts, akin to reviving 50-year-old buildings or utilizing bricks made from recycled waste. But the report highlights the necessity for larger-scale efforts like altering zoning legal guidelines to ban new single-family properties and providing stronger incentives for retrofits.
How did we get right here?
Between 1990 and 2019, emissions from buildings elevated by a whopping 50%. According to Saheb, that is partly pushed by the rise within the measurement of our properties—particularly within the world north, the place the house per particular person is now six occasions better than it’s within the south. Experts used responsible raised carbon emissions on inhabitants will increase, however in actuality, that’s solely accountable for 26%. By comparability, the elevated floor-area-per-person precipitated 52% extra carbon emissions.
And as properties are getting greater, the variety of individuals residing in them is definitely shrinking, says Saheb, citing her personal dad or mum for instance: “My mother’s flat has a central heating system, she’s alone in her flat; but she can’t heat only the rooms she uses, so she heats the whole flat.”
This is a typical downside in Western buildings—and a serious design flaw. “Each time you have a heating or cooling system that consumes energy, this means the building was wrongly designed,” she says. “A good building is a building that doesn’t need an active heating and cooling system.”
Saheb says that architects would profit from higher coaching on local weather points, however finally all of it comes all the way down to a scarcity of rules. In the EU, each new constructing must be zero carbon, and the identical goes for U.S. cities, akin to New York City, Washington, D.C., and San Francisco. But the coverage doesn’t lengthen to retrofits, which Saheb says is essential to decreasing carbon emissions, partially as a result of they symbolize the majority of our constructing inventory. Ithaca, New York, stays the one American metropolis tackling decarbonization at a citywide degree— together with retrofits—with help from BlocPower, an organization that’s on a mission to impress each constructing within the U.S., and is without doubt one of the winners of Fast Company’s Most Innovative Companies of 2022.
What will we do subsequent?
There are a number of methods the constructed atmosphere can cut back its emissions. For one, Saheb says cities must require zero-carbon buildings. And to fulfill these necessities, architects should embrace extra passive cooling methods and bioclimatic design, during which buildings are designed in response to the local weather the place they’re situated. “Instead of trying to adapt nature to your house, you should adapt your house to nature,” Saheb says.
Banning single-family housing is one other key issue. “If you have new development, you should go for multifamily buildings because you need less land, fewer construction materials, and less energy,” Saheb says. In the U.S., nevertheless, zoning legal guidelines have confirmed to be an enormous barrier, hindering multifamily housing growth in many cities.
Where attainable, cities also needs to cross insurance policies to encourage the reuse of present buildings. “In the global north, we don’t need to build more square meters because we have plenty of square meters unused,” she says. In the United States, for instance, workplace emptiness charges reached an all-time excessive of 17% within the third quarter of 2021, after the pandemic fueled a distant work motion that continues to this present day. While firms are starting to name employees again into the workplace now, some specialists assume that full occupancy stays unlikely, opening the door for obsolescent workplace house to be was much-needed housing. (Other specialists do acknowledge that some places of work might be difficult to transform into housing.)
For Saheb, the primary and largest problem is that information is usually incomplete, and cities don’t even know what number of sq. toes of unused house they’ve at their disposal. Instead of defaulting to constructing new buildings, “each city should look at how many buildings are unused and work on repurposing them,” she says. “And if there is a need, we may build a little bit.”
The excellent news is that, in response to the report, as much as 61% of constructing emissions might be lower by 2050, and now we have all of the options at our disposal right now, from passive cooling applied sciences and denser multifamily properties to retrofits. All we have to do is implement them—or higher but, introduce rules and insurance policies to will them into implementation.

Tennessee Department of Health advises Clinicians to have Heightened Awareness about MERS Co-V with International Travel Patients
Nashville, TN – In response to a Korean outbreak of Middle East Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus, commonly known as MERS Co-V, the Tennessee Department of Health has issued an alert to healthcare providers.
The alert issued Friday, June 12th, urges clinicians to ask their patients about recent travel, to look for evidence of the illness in patient assessments and to share their findings and information with public health officials.
Tampa, FL – Motorists across the country saw increases at the pump last week, but that trend is not likely to continue. The EIA updated its forecast, expecting monthly average gas prices to decline through the end of the year, reaching as low as $2.27 in December.
According to the report, the average price of gasoline from June 1st – August 31st would be $2.60 – the lowest since 2009. The average price through the end of 2015 is forecast to be $2.47. If that forecast holds true, the average price for this year ($2.43) would also be the lowest since 2009.

“The increase in oil came at a time when gasoline supplies in Florida are already tight,” said Mark Jenkins, spokesman, AAA – The Auto Club Group. “March is the peak month for gasoline demand in Florida, because the weather warms up, people drive more, and there are more visitors for spring break and Major League Baseball Spring Training. Plus, it is still maintenance season, and refinery gasoline output is reduced.” «Read the rest of this article»
Gas could fall below $3.00 a gallon by years end
Tampa, FL – Motorists continue to enjoy a discount at the pump, as gas prices fall to their lowest point since February. Nationally, the price of gas fell 6 cents in the past week, marking a seven week decline in gasoline prices.
“Last week refineries switched from producing summer to winter-blend fuel,” said Josh Carrasco, spokesman, AAA – The Auto Club Group. “Winter-blend gas is cheaper to produce, because it does not require the additives necessary in summer-blend. Also, here in the U.S. we continue benefiting from historic domestic oil production. Both of these factors continue placing downward pressure on gas prices.” «Read the rest of this article»
Tampa, FL – The United States surpassed Saudi Arabia and Russia to become the world’s biggest oil producer this year.
According to a report from the Bank of America Corp., the U.S. is projected to remain the top producer of 2014 because domestic output is forecast to increase and production growth outside the U.S. has been lower than anticipated. «Read the rest of this article»

Explosive growth in USV development in China
Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and unmanned underwater vehicle (UUV) development has been making great strides in China in recent years and now we are seeing rapid growth in the unmanned surface vessel sector.
A number of unmanned systems have emerged and unmanned surface vessels (USV) are now seeing a surge in research and development for use in both military and civilian environments.
USVs can be deployed in waters where it’s unacceptable to send a manned vessel, including high threat environments or areas contaminated by nuclear, biological, or chemical agents. They are reliable, fast, highly manoeuvrable, allowing them to conduct a wide range of missions, including coast patrols, without endangering personnel.
There are more than 60 types of unmanned surface vessel available globally: the United States, Israel, and Sweden currently lead the market. Use of USVs, both in China and internationally, is moving from military to civilian use. Prospects for the civilian unmanned surface vessel market look very positive indeed.
The Chinese market for USVs is currently moving from second generation to the third, and the entire industry is still in a relative stage of infancy. With the advancement of China's 'marine power’, there will be a greater focus on the use of autonomous vehicles in the marine industry and the scale of the entire autonomous market is likely to see exponential growth.
A USV is a surface-based robot that travels independently, perceives intelligently, avoids obstacles around it and carries out various types of surface tasks. It can be equipped with different sensors, instruments and equipment to carry out industry and field specific tasks.
Existing USVs are relatively small in size with nearly 60% of them at 7 meters in length or less. On the one hand, small platforms are cheaper and easier to test, on the other hand, they are mission-critical, because small-scale USVs are generally used for observation and information gathering as well as physical environment measurements. Maritime safety missions usually require a USV ranging from 7 to 11 meters in length, and these larger USVs are used for tasks that require heavy loads, such as patrol assistance.
Usage of USVs include: water environment monitoring, waterway and reef shoal measurement, patrol enforcement forensics, search and rescue and anti-terrorism – interception and fire support.
