Perfect Game, a baseball scouting organization, is moving its national headquarters to Hutto in what the city described as the single largest economic development deal in its history, according to a news release issued Thursday night.
Perfect Game will be building the city’s first indoor sports and events center and a convention hotel, the release said. It will also feature 24 baseball fields, including 10 that the city of Hutto will build for public use, according to the release. The sports and events center is designed to seat 13,000 people.
The complex in Hutto will also feature office, commercial and residential space, medical and physical therapy services, and sports and clothing apparel, the release said.
The national headquarters of Perfect Game is currently in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
The project — a partnership between Perfect Game, developer Wolverine Interests, LLC, Sports Facility Advisory/Sports Facilities Management and the City of Hutto — will bring $800 million in private investment, the release said. It will be located east of Fritz Park, located at 400 Park Avenue and on the north side of U.S. 79.
Perfect Game has entered a 30-year lease with the city for the land, according to the release. The property tax totals are expected to be $5.1 million each year, and sales tax totals are estimated to be $1.5 million annually, the release said.
The city will reinvest 60% of the property taxes back into the project for 30 years through a tax increment reinvestment zone that will pay for public infrastructure like fields, roads, utilities and garages, the release said. It said Hutto will also generate additional revenue from gate entry fees as well as receive revenue from the hotel room occupancy tax, local sponsorships and a hotel rebate program.
Perfect Game plans to host a grand opening tournament no later than Memorial Day 2021, the release said. It said all fields are anticipated to be finished by that time. Wolverine Interests expects that the first residential project will also be completed by Memorial Day 2021, the release said.
“Perfect Game’s decision to locate in Hutto, just 25 minutes from Austin, is one of the most significant events in the sports tourism industry in the last 20 years,” said Dev Pathik, founder and CEO of Sports Facilities Advisory in a statement. “Combining an SFM events center and hotel was a natural fit and will turn Hutto into one of the top scouting destinations in America. The community programs offered by SFM and Perfect Game will improve access to sports for local citizens. It is a true win, win, win.”
Hutto City Manager Odis Jones said in the release that “Perfect Game is a game changer in terms of diversifying our tax base, in particular, our tourism, hotel and convention business. It will benefit Hutto and the Central Texas region by infusing $200 million annually in direct spending to our local community, creating demand for more than 150,000 hotel room nights, and bringing Hutto a 13,000-seat indoor sports arena.”
Perfect Game founder Jerry Ford said in the release that his organization looks “forward to helping Hutto achieve its economic and community goals.”
According to Perfect Game’s website, the business “promotes the game of baseball now and in the future by hosting the highest quality amateur events while providing meaningful opportunities and information to players, families, MLB organizations, college coaches, and fans.”
It is the largest baseball showcase organization in the country and has seen 11,623 players drafted by Major League Baseball, and 1,234 major league players get their start through Perfect Game tournaments, the website said.

A 35-acre development in Hutto is beginning to take shape now that a new City Hall has officially opened there.
The city consolidated most of its departments into one building that is located in an area that will be called The Co-Op District off U.S. 79. The new City Hall, which is about 35,000 square feet in size, opened to the public Monday.
“Basically everything the public will need is all here on the first floor,” Mayor Doug Gaul said during a tour Tuesday. “They’ve got their library, pay their bills, pay their fines, interact with people. Then, we’ve got the offices upstairs.”
On the ground floor, the city library occupies more than 4,500 square feet. Staff members worked through the weekend to get all the books onto shelves, computers online and meeting rooms ready for people to use.
“We had over 241 people coming in [Monday] getting new library cards, checking out books,” library manager Lisa Riggs said. “We’ve had patrons that haven’t come in since 2009 come and get library cards.”
Pamela Carter came Tuesday to check out the new space and take home a few books.
“It was much more spacious and not so crowded,” Carter said about the new library. “It seemed like the staff were happy to be in a new place.”
The balcony on the second floor of City Hall overlooks the large construction site where crews are working on the rest of The Co-Op District development. The developer already announced that Top Notch Hamburgers, Southside Market & Barbeque and Flix Brewhouse will be the first three tenants in the walkable, mixed-use develpoment. More announcements should be made soon, city leaders told KXAN.
“Hutto’s only really had one street for their downtown, so this really kind of expands our downtown,” Gaul said. “It becomes a more downtown environment. I look forward to a family coming down here on a Saturday night and spending probably three or four hours down here.”
The city expects The Co-Op District development to take at least another five years to complete. Carter expects it to draw in visitors to the community she loves.
“Things are nearby where you don’t have to drive into austin to go out to eat,” she said. “It’s nice to see the community growing and [have] more things to do with family.”
The Hutto Police Department is not housed in the new City Hall. Police are instead renovating their current space at 401 Front Street.

In the first-ever expansion for the 48-year-old retro fast food restaurant, Top Notch Burgers is coming to Hutto. The new second location will be in the under-development Hutto Co-Op District at 420 Highway 79, starting in 2020.
The new Top Notch will serve the same classic menu of charcoal-grilled burgers, fried chicken, and onion rings, although a press release teased new secret menu items. The new location will also include details from the original like car hop stations and classic signage.
The Hutto Co-Op District will also have a location of Elgin-based barbecue restaurant Southside Market and a location of movie theater and restaurant Flix Brewhouse. It will also house Hutto’s City Hall and library.
Top Notch is best known for its inclusion in the classic movie Dazed and Confused. Ray and Frances Stanish opened the Burnet Road restaurant in 1971. In 2010, after Ray’s death, Frances passed ownership to her brothers-in-law Kelly Chappell and Phillip Santa Cruz, who own fast-casual restaurants Zocalo Cafe and Galaxy Cafe.

Hutto’s Co-Op District has landed another tenant and this one comes with some history.
For its second location, Top Notch Hamburgers will open a store at the 35-acre mixed-use project in the Williamson County suburb. Founded in 1971, Top Notch has been selling burgers and fried chicken for nearly four decades from its location on Burnet Road and is regarded by many as an Austin institution.
The Co-Op District has also landed Southside Market barbecue restaurantand Flix Brewhouse movie theater as retail tenants.
Bob Wunsch of MA Partners, developer of The Co-Op District, said it took about eight or nine months to secure Top Notch’s commitment.
“One of our visions was to bring iconic Austin-area businesses to Hutto,” Wunsch said. “I think we fulfilled that promise.”
Top Notch is one of those small businesses many credit for bolstering Austin’s overall economy. The techies at Sailpoint Technologies love the brand so much, when it came time to donate food cans to the food bank as part of a contest they arranged them to look like the burger joint’s iconic sign.
Kelly Chappell, who is part of an ownership group that bought Top Notch in 2010, said they wanted to be on the “ground level” of Hutto’s growth.
“After all these years, we feel like [Hutto] has the small community feel that Austin did when I was growing up,” he said. “We feel like we picked the right project.”
Meanwhile, the 35-are Co-Op District continues to develop as one of the major projects for Hutto leaders. City staff are moving into the new City Hall building at the Co-Op on Monday. The mixed-use development is expected to have stores, offices and residential development, built a round a repurposed cotton gin on State Highway 79, about a mile west of downtown Hutto.
Wunsch said they’ve also gotten approval from the Texas Department of Transportation for work on Highway 79.

It took almost 50 years, but Top Notch Burgers is finally getting a second location. The Austin institution is headed to the suburbs with an outpost in Hutto set to open in early 2020.
According to a release, the restaurant has signed on with Hutto Co-Op District, currently under construction on U.S. Highway 79. The ambitious development is a reimagined Main Street for the city, compete with a new city hall.
Founded in 1971 by Ray and Frances Stanish, Top Notch is one of the city’s most recognizable dining landmarks. The signage, car hop stations, and dining room has remained virtually untouched throughout the decades. In fact, keeping things the same was a stipulation when the Stanish family sold the spot to Phillip Santa Cruz and Kelly Chappell in 2010.
Its time capsule authenticity made it a natural choice when director Richard Linklater was scouting for locations for his 1993 cult hit Dazed and Confused. Chappell and Santa Cruz, whose families also own Zocalo and Galaxy Cafe, plan to bring the same ‘70s vibe to the new construction.
The building will be modern with more windows for natural light, but design elements and materials from the original — including the iconic sign — will be brought to Hutto. And, yes, it will still be a drive-in.

“We know plenty of folks in Hutto who drive to Austin just to visit Top Notch, and we envision being met by friendly faces the day we open our doors,” said Kelly Chappell, owner of Top Notch Burgers.
Top Notch Burgers is known for its classic diner-style menu with drive-in style eating and car hops. The iconic Austin burger joint was also featured in the hit 1993 movie “Dazed and Confused”.

While people are still moving to Central Texas for the booming economy, they’re choosing to look outside city limits. They’re looking at areas like Pflugerville and Hutto.
“I call it an explosion and I call it growing at warp speed,” said Pflugerville Mayor Victor Gonzales.
US Census data deemed Pflugerville the third fastest growing city in the country.
On average, 11 people moved there each day last year.
“It’s the area of Central Texas is the place to be right now, and we’re kind of in that phase where we’re accepting,” said Hutto City Council member Nathan Killough.
Hutto’s population has doubled since 2010, with about half of that growth in the past two years. Both are booming Texas towns.
“This was corn,” said Gerald Wilke, as he showed us the recently harvested fields.
Wilke has lived in Pflugerville since the 1970s. his family’s farm has been there far longer.
“With the roads and the traffic the way they are, now it’s really hard to move his equipment over here to farm this anymore,” said Wilke.
He now leases the land.
“There are 67 acres left,” said Wilke.
Piece by piece, Wilke’s family sold off part of the original 300-acre property.
“They took some acreage off the front here to build this toll 45,” said Wilke.
State Highway 45 was once Wilke Lane, a country road named after his family.
“I never did think I’d see cars going up and down that fast, it used to be tractors going back and forth,” said Wilke.
In a region where the train used to the be the only real source of transportation, SH 45 and SH 130 put the area’s development in the fast lane.
“It really opened the world up to Pflugerville,” said Amy Madison, the executive director of the Pflugerville Community Development Corporation.
They’re in charge of recruiting new businesses.
“It’s just been exponential growth,” said Madison.
Part of that has been through a boom of 3D-printing manufacturers.
“It’s a high a growth industry that requires a lot of high tech work force,” said Madison.
The type of work for employees you can find in Central Texas.
It’s just one of the industries to move into 130 Commerce Center, a business and industrial park in Pflugerville.
The PCDC bought about 170 acres back in 2007 along SH 130 to help attract businesses. They just sold the last 20 acres this summer.
But with more than 2,000 undeveloped acres along SH 130, Madison said the growth is far from over.
“We have a lot of property and land along 130 that’s available we have a number of projects that are looking at us,” said Pflugerville Mayor Victor Gonzales.
Madison said developers are now calling them.
“Pflugerville was just known as a bedroom community, but now we’re starting to get industry into town,” said Wilke.
It’s the same story in Hutto where developers are building the new Innovation Business Park.
“Since we started breaking ground and showing that Hutto was open for business, and that we wanted businesses coming, the doors have just been knocked down, people are coming left and right,” said Killough.

Amid a 5-year enrollment growth of more than 20 percent, Hutto ISD scored among the top of all school districts in Texas in the state’s Financial Integrity Rating System, the district announced Thursday night.
Hutto ISD received a “superior” rating in the financial accountability test, scoring 96 points out of a possible 100.
The Financial Integrity Rating System of Texas, or FIRST, scores school districts across 15 separate indicators of fiscal accountability.
Those indicators identify a district’s financial stability in terms of debt, cash-on-hand, administrative costs, payment compliances, assets, enrollment and analysis from an independent auditor.
“Hutto ISD received the highest possible rating,” Jeffri Orosco, director of finance for Hutto ISD, said Thursday night.
The school district received two scores of 8 out of 10 on just two indicators, the only ratings on which the district was docked points.
Those two indicators rated whether the number of days of cash on hand and current investments for the school are sufficient to cover operating expenditures and whether the ratio of current assets to liabilities are healthy enough to cover short-term debt.
According to financial documents provided to the state, Hutto ISD has $12.7 million in cash-on-hand and equivalents, with $59.97 million in total expenditures. Further, Hutto ISD currently holds $34.99 million in assets and $11.8 million in liabilities.
“There’s a lot of indicators here that take into effect our growth,” said Glenn Graham, chief financial officer for Hutto ISD. “The state understands when you take on a lot of growth, you take on a lot of debt.”
Orosco told the Board of Trustees tonight that the school district has experienced a growth of 20.52 percent growth in students in the past five years.

Hutto’s mixed-use Co-Op District will be anchored by a Flix Brewhouse LLC movie theater after city officials inked an incentive agreement Thursday night.
Officials said the addition to the Co-Op District, a 35-acre project under development by MA Partners on U.S. Route 79 that could essentially create an urban downtown, would help the suburb provide more amenities to keep its residents from taking their dollars to Hutto’s larger neighbors in Williamson County.
“We’ve been working for a long time to kick the Co-Op off,” City Manager Odis Jones said. “An important part of that is finding an anchor tenant.”
“[And] we’ve talked for a while about wanting to have a movie theater here in town,” he added. “Today we will have one.”
Barbecue eatery Southside Market was announced as the Co-Op District’s first tenant earlier this month.
The city will reimburse Round Rock-based Flix Brewhouse 75 percent of city sales tax for 10 years, according to city documents, up to $1.28 million.
Hutto Economic Development Corp. Chairman Bill Gravell called the addition of the 39,000-square-foot theater “the most important economic development opportunity that this community has seen in many, many years.”
“[Flix Brewhouse] is a Williamson County-based company that’s gone across the nation, but yet they have come back here to plant one of their flagship opportunities,” Gravell said.
Flix Brewhouse, which combines movies with beer it brews on site, has five locations nationwide with more on the way; It recently raised $13 million for those expansion efforts…

Flix Brewhouse was announced as the Co-Op District’s entertainment complex at Thursday night’s Hutto City Council meeting.
Hutto Economic Development Corporation Chair Bill Gravell and Flix Brewhouse Senior Vice President Real Estate and Brand Development Matt Silvers made the announcement with a presentation for council members and the general public.
The movie theater chain offers craft beer brewed in-house as well as dining options for moviegoers. Silvers floated the possibility of brewing a “Hippo Hefeweizen” at the Hutto movie theater during his presentation.
“Flix isn’t just about beer, movies and food,” Silver said. “We have a whole bunch of alternative programming offered up.”
Silvers did not specify how many theaters and seats the Hutto Flix Brewhouse location will offer, but estimated that 6,000 to 7,000 customers will visit the site every week.
Per Gravell, Hutto’s Flix Brewhouse will be 39,000 square feet and will employ anywhere from 150 to 200 people. Part of the economic development agreement, according to the Hutto EDC chairman, mandates the movie theater hire a certain percentage of Hutto ISD and local college students.
“Every high school kid that lives in Hutto, Texas, will no longer have to go to Round Rock or Taylor for a job… they will be able to do that right here in Hutto,” Gravell said Thursday night.
This is the second tenant announced for the upcoming Co-Op District, a $210 million mixed-use development on the north side of Hwy. 79, just west of downtown Hutto.

Southside Market and Barbeque is coming to Hutto.
The restaurant is the first commercial tenant at the new Co-Op District in Hutto now under construction, according to the district’s developer, MA Partners.
The district is a 35-acre business, retail, entertainment and residential destination being developed on U.S. 79 in Hutto at the historic Gin property, according to a news release issued by the city.
The barbecue restaurant first opened in Elgin in 1882, where it is still operating. A second location opened in Bastrop in 2014.
“As Texans, we’ve had the personal privilege of enjoying Southside Market’s barbeque for decades and we could not imagine a better match for a project with the vision and scale of the Co-Op District,” said developer Bob Wunsch of MA Partners in the release.
One of the owners of Southside Market and Barbeque, Bryan Bracewell, said coming to the Co-Op District “is such a natural fit for us because Hutto is very similar to the two other towns we call home in that it’s a great place filled with salt-of-the-earth folks who have the same values we have,” according to the release.
A ground breaking for the Co-Op District, which includes four grain silos that have been preserved, took place in November.
A new City Hall — planned to be the anchor tenant of the Co-Op District — is anticipated to open within a year.
Information was not immediately available Monday about the projected opening date for Southside Market and Barbeque.

Charles L. Johnson
Charles L. Johnson
|Birth name||Charles Leslie Johnson|
|Born||December 3, 1876|
|Origin||Kansas City, Kansas, U.S.|
|Died||December 28, 1950 (aged 74)|
|Genres||Ragtime, march, waltz, tango, and song|
|Instruments||piano, guitar, violin, banjo, mandolin|
Charles Leslie Johnson (December 3, 1876 - December 28, 1950) was an American composer of ragtime and popular music. He was born in Kansas City, Kansas, died in Kansas City, Missouri, and lived his entire life in those two cities. He published over 300 songs in his life, nearly 40 of them ragtime compositions such as "Doc Brown’s Cakewalk", "Dill Pickles", "Apple Jack (Some Rag)", and "Snookums Rag". His best selling piece, a sentimental ballad called "Sweet and Low", sold over a million copies. Experts believe that had Johnson lived and worked in New York, he would be included alongside Scott Joplin, James Scott, and Joseph Lamb as one of the greatest ragtime composers. He wrote more than the other three combined and exemplified a greater range of talent, composing waltzes, tangos, cakewalks, marches, novelty pieces, and other types of music popular at that time.
Early life and education
Johnson was born in the Armourdale district of Kansas City, Kansas to James R. and Helen F. Johnson. Clearly a prodigy, he was playing a neighbor’s piano by age six and began studying classical piano, harmony, and music theory a few years later. Although he had classical training, he always preferred popular music of the day. His musical ability led him to proficiency on other instruments as well: guitar, violin, banjo, and mandolin. As a young man Johnson became involved in the music scene of Kansas City by participating in several local groups. In this environment he wrote his first compositions.
Johnson was married twice, first to Sylvia Hoskins in 1901, and they had a daughter Frances. The marriage ended in unclear circumstances; the ultimate fates of Sylvia or Frances are unknown. He married his second wife, Eva Otis, in 1926. She remained with him until his death in 1950.
Johnson’s career was stable and prolific. He began work in the late 1890s for the J.W. Jenkins and Sons Music Company in Kansas City, Missouri plugging songs and playing piano. Over the next five years Jenkins would publish twelve of Johnson’s songs. Eventually Johnson would compose for many other publishers. By 1907, Johnson had also formed his own publishing company, putting out his own music and those of other local composers. In addition, Johnson began vanity publishing for others, often writing music for the lyrics of others or simply arranging others’ compositions. His closest business partnership was with Fred John Adam Forster of the Forster Music Publisher, Inc. Although Johnson’s career would wax and wane with the economy of the turn of the century, World Wars I and II, and the Depression, Charles always had work and could always respond to the musical climate of the U.S.
At some point in his career Johnson began writing under pseudonyms. He used Raymond Birch the most, penning several of his well-known rags under that name such as "Blue Goose Rag", "Melody Rag", and "Powder Rag". But he also used several others.
Under any name, however, Johnson was a significant contributor to the Ragtime Era and to rag music in general. By far the biggest hit of 1906 was Charles’ most successful rag "Dill Pickles". The first rag to sell a million copies was Scott Joplin’s "Maple Leaf Rag"; the second was "Dill Pickles". It has been suggested that by 1906 ragtime was already beginning to wane. After the publication of "Dill Pickles" there was a revival of interest in ragtime that extended its life by nearly ten more years. This piece of music made use of the “three over four” syncopation that was subsequently copied and used in dozens of rags by other composers. Joplin himself had difficulty getting away from its conventions.
As mentioned before, Johnson had a remarkable ability to reflect the needs and trends of the time. A clear example of this was in his war pieces. During his musical career Charles wrote pieces for the Spanish–American War, World War I, and World War II. Certainly most of these pieces (numbering almost 20) responded to the patriotism of U.S. soldiers in World War I. Among these pieces were "GoodBye Susanna", "Be a Pilgrim (And Not a Ram)", "We Will Follow the Red, White, and Blue", and "We Are All in the Same Boat Now".

The JoongAng | Kim Myung-ja President, The Seoul Forum for International Affairs; President Emeritus, The Korean Federation of Science and Technology Societies; Former Minister of Environment;
The nuclear threat has been reenacted since Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022. U.S. President Joe Biden even used the expression "Armageddon," calling it the highest nuclear threat since the Cuban missile crisis. At the G20 summit last month, the leaders of the U.S. and China agreed to oppose the threat of atomic weapons in Ukraine. That does not mean that the nuclear crisis has been resolved. Foreign Affairs magazine predicted China would use nuclear weapons if they invaded Taiwan. China said, “They would not use nuclear weapons on other countries first,” but also said Taiwan would be excluded from the promise because it is part of its own country.
North Korea fired 27 times of short-range ballistic missiles by October this year alone. In May and November, they even fired ICBMs. Now, the seventh nuclear test seems to be a given. As the situation becomes unusual, there are even calls for withdrawal from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT, effective since 1970 and 191 member countries as of 2022), along with NATO-style nuclear sharing, strengthening nuclear umbrellas, and relocating tactical atomic weapons among Korean people.
The practical use of nuclear power stems from Einstein's 1905 equation E=mc². On all occasions in 1938, when the 2nd world war clouds were circulating, Germany's Otto Han and Fritz Strassman succeeded in the fission reaction of uranium-235. But it was merely science fiction at the time. Because 99.3% of natural uranium is uranium-238, and 0.7% is uranium-235, scientists did not know how to separate uranium-235, which causes fission, nor did they know the critical mass at which the fission chain reaction begins to occur. Otto Frisch and Rudolph Peierls of the United Kingdom discovered this information in 1940 and made the British MAUD Commission have primary data on the manufacture of atomic bombs. However, the UK couldn’t build a manufacturing plant on the mainland site within the range of the German rocket V-2. Thus, the UK government hands over the MAUD report to the US authority.
On December 7, 1941, the Japanese bombardment of Pearl Harbor led to the full-scale participation of the United States and launched code name "The Manhattan Project.” Why on earth have scientists developed this horrible weapon? It resulted from the logic that atomic bombs were needed to end the war. After Germany's surrender, there was an anti-bombardment movement in the scientific community. However, the Pentagon decides to ‘drop on Japan without prior warning’ to end the war as soon as possible. Shocked by the devastation of the bombardment, Robert Oppenheimer, senior science administrator at the Manhattan Project, said, "We knew what sin was," and NBC Radio broadcast, "We created Frankenstein."
The U.S.-Soviet nuclear arms race marred the Cold War era from the end of the 1940s. In the early 1950s, the U.S. and the Soviet Union competed for hydrogen bomb development. In 1957, the United Kingdom joined the ‘nuclear club’ due to the success of hydrogen bomb tests, and the world entered the era of a ‘Balance of Terror.’ From July 1945 to 2016, more than 2,000 nuclear tests were conducted by the United States, Russia, the United Kingdom, France, China, India, Pakistan, and North Korea. The United States, the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom, China, and France also have hydrogen bombs. North Korea is the only country that has conducted nuclear tests in the 21st century. In 2016, they announced the fourth hydrogen bomb experiment.
It is not that there have been no attempts to escape the nuclear threat toward humanity. On Christmas Day in 1954, Sir Bertrand Russell proposed a call to an international conference to prevent a nuclear war crisis on the ‘Danger of Humanity’ broadcast. As Einstein responded, the "Russell-Einstein Declaration" was issued to dismantle nuclear weapons. In September 1991, President George H. W. Bush unilaterally declared the withdrawal and dismantlement of globally deployed tactical atomic arms, and Communist Party Secretary Mikhail Gorbachev responded. But that was it.
In 2021, the book "Nuclear Folly," by Harvard University professor Sergio Flohy analyzed that Kennedy and Khrushchev avoided nuclear war in 1962. They feared the end of nuclear war because they were a generation who experienced Hiroshima and Nagasaki and realized the destructive power process with hydrogen bomb tests. Even in the Korean War, atomic bombs were almost dropped. President Truman said at a press conference in November 1950 that he was considering using nuclear bombs and deployed nine atomic bombs at the U.S. Guam base in April of the following year. However, he made a decision otherwise. Truman's grandson testified that his grandfather "was shocked by the devastation of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan, so he decided not to use atomic bombs in the Korean War" (2015). In strategical view, it is interpreted that the burden of avoiding the spread of the Korean War to World War III and dropping nuclear bombs one after another into Asia was at play.
The international community has failed to resolve the nuclear threat. When international organizations are unable to manage nuclear threats, the response to nuclear threats at the one-state level is complex. The nuclear weapons-related option is not an issue that is acceptable as any country claims it. It would not be accepted as an exception to persuade Korea that its nuclear possession is aimed at protecting the liberal international order. The first and second North Korean nuclear crises were emergencies caused by North Korea's declaration of withdrawal from the NPT in March 1993 and January 2003. It is imperative to develop a solid integrated deterrence policy by reinforcing the means of suppressing expansion between South Korea and the U.S. in compliance with the international order of NPT.

The bmi airline has confirmed 19 return flights between Inverness and Heathrow will be cancelled from next Wednesday.
Airline bmi has cancelled flights on other routes
The company said it was doing what many airlines do in adjusting the schedule in response to lower demand over the winter period.
However, Inverness Chamber of Commerce said the changes were a concern and had come at short notice.
Starting with a flight on 7 November, cancellations will run through to 6 February.
Highlands and Islands Airports Limited (HIAL) said other airlines regularly make adjustments to their schedules.
Winter cancellations by bmi also affect its flights between Heathrow and Venice, Palma and Lyon.
The airline said in some cases it could use smaller aircraft in response to lower numbers of passengers, but in others it had no option but to cancel.
A spokesman said: "The latter has been the case on certain days on services between Heathrow and Inverness where there has been insufficient passenger demand to sustain the service on the specific dates affected.
"Passengers affected by the changes have been notified and been offered either a full refund or alternative flights."
Donald Shaw, president of Inverness Chamber of Commerce, said it was vital that peripheral areas such as Inverness had guaranteed links to the UK capital.
He said: "It is indeed causing concern because this has come at short notice.
"These links with the main hub are essential, particularly for the Highlands.
"At the end of the day airlines are a business, but they must have some moral responsibility for the communities they serve."

Roughly 5,000 members of state postal company Pos Indonesia’s workers union on Thursday launched a three-day strike to demand better pay and pension benefits, among other things.
The spokesman for the workers union (SPPI), Gibson S. Nababan, said in Jakarta on Thursday that post officers across the country were taking part in the strike, and that a considerable number of retired Pos Indonesia employees were supporting the action as well.
The strike participants are urging the board of directors of Pos Indonesia to meet six demands, including an increased proportion of base salary relative to overall take-home pay and an increased pension.
Gibson said currently, base pay constituted only 15 percent of the total take-home pay each Pos Indonesia employee received. The strikers want that proportion to be increased to 75 percent.
Pension payments, meanwhile, only amount to 45 percent of an employee’s salary at retirement, which is lower than the average civil servant retirees receive.
The SPPI is also speaking out against the company’s outsourcing practices, saying 30 percent of the Pos Indonesia workforce is now subcontracted. The union is demanding the implementation of better workplace safety precautions as well.
They are also demanding expanded employer-provided health care coverage and are protesting the most recent restructuring of the company. The strikers say the new structure has been a waste of money and has done nothing to improve employees’ welfare.
“In the capital [Jakarta], we’re doing a rally as part of the strike at a Pos Indonesia office on Jalan Gedung Kesenian, in front of the Communication and Information Ministry office and the State-Owned Enterprises Ministry tower,” Gibson said in front of the State Enterprises Ministry office, amid a crowd of protesters.

Appen is a town that is sad. People do not go out on the street. Neither the impressive mountain scene and the magnificence of its large lake reaches to end suffering.
Meyer Antonio Rita, the mayor of 4,000 inhabitants located in the heart of Anden Perellal Region 42, told Clariny that "yesterday (Friday), we call female nurse goodbye, which we all loved, we are in mourning." On the road 40
Hentavirus eruption has 6 deaths. All the residents of the APN and the same family are connected to the circle and friends. So far, 19 positive cases have been reported (six are counted dead), 8 were removed, 1 suspected and under 2 observations.
But the biggest worry of this outbreak is the change of viruses transmitted by rats and their transmission person. Dr. Teresa Stella said that this infection "occurs in the initial period of the first episode of the first 48 and 72 hours due to close contact with patients."
The Health Ministry official was optimistic in his recent statements: "The case has dropped, we have to wait for two incubation periods to break out."
He explained that "this is something extraordinary" and "we do not believe that the virus is more aggressive than the other season." In this country there were always cases of Hantavirus, as it happens in other parts of the country. He also made clear that "all cases were registered without the cases registered in other people in the eponymous town."
The doctors in the area have confirmed that everything started on 24th November during the celebration of teenage birthday. There was a pawn that contracted the disease to clean the shade. He spread his virus and spread his wife and party girl.
Both he and his wife survived. Girl died. I was 14 years old. It was December 3 and it became the first victim.
Other cases arose from those meetings, so that 50 people related to the circle separated from quartain in different quarters.
About the cases of isolation George Elias said that extraordinary measures of selective loneliness were deeper. "We recognize each of the closest contacts in positive cases and use them individually." And then added that at this time respiration remains with solitude, which moves home.
Hantavirus is a disease that occurs in rats, directly affecting the respiratory tract of humans and can be fatal if not treated timely.
The wild mice, known as a long tail mice, receives people when they get rid of the virus by lalas, urine or feces. When dry, it connects to dust and is transported by air.
Symptoms Feel like a flu-like state: fever; Corrosive muscle pain; Cold headache; Nausea; Vomit diarrhea and in some cases, abdominal pain or lower part of the spine.
The story tells us that all this started in 1996. A village-class rural doctor apparently began to treat patients with flu-like symptoms. He suggested them according to that illness. But after a few days some died. He caught the attention of the doctor who ordered some analysis. Something was born unknown:
Something to think about is the flower of the so-called Kahu Gum. The flowers of these species are huge. After producing flowers and seeds, the plants die. This natural and cyclone event takes place approximately every 70 years.
After the production of flowers, the ecosystem becomes a chain of large intensity related ecological events, which include the transmission of rats. Currently there are no flowers in the EPU and surrounding areas.
"It is a real phenomenon, which is limited in the Population Group in Apuen City, so the provincial director of the province's pathologies and said that" it does not cover all the APN's or does not include "Epidemiology, Teresa Strela, A Highlight It does not "have any known cases in other nearby places".
In this area there were representatives of Malbron Institute, these were specialists in viral diseases. From Epane, Clerin was told that this issue was given full priority.
Deliberately Rito still does not leave her wonder and her sadness. He said, "I do not know what happens, is more democracy than the other year." "We are bad in mourning, we have lost six neighbors, but we do not have time to mourn, today we feel more relaxed, I have been living in this country for 40 years, I am always working in forests and mountains, and know that we We are sad in the APN, but int to keep fighting.

Taylor Swift's custom-made Oscar de la Renta dress was almost savaged by her pet cat Meredith during a fitting just before the Met Gala.
Taylor Swift's gown was attacked by her cat moments before the Met Gala.
The 'I Knew You Were Trouble' singer almost had to walk the red carpet in rags yesterday evening (05.05.14) when her beloved feline friend Meredith unleashed her claws on Taylor's stunning pale pink Oscar De La Renta dress just before the prestigious event in New York City.
She wrote on Twitter: ''That moment when your cat casually walks up, then abruptly ATTACKS your custom satin Oscar de la Renta gown during your fitting for Met Ball.''
The 24-year-old singer had a lucky escape since there were no signs of the Scottish Fold's savage attack on the gown, which boasted intricate feathered embroidery and a train so long that she needed assistance to get up the steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute.
Taylor couldn't get over her luck at being dressed by Oscar de la Renta for the A-list event.
She gushed: ''Oscar de la Renta is the designer I've idolized since I was a little girl. Having an opportunity to wear a one-of-kind gown designed by him is a daydream realized.''
The country starlet got ready for the big night at the nearby Surrey Hotel with her close friend, Victoria's Secret model Karlie Kloss.
Taylor posted a picture of the pair puckering up on her Instagram account, showing them applying lipstick with a glass of champagne in hand.
She captioned the image: ''Hair/makeup/Motown dance party @karliekloss.''

List of Foods to Maintain Good Kidney
Kidneys are important organs as they manage various metabolic
activities in your body. It performs many functions such as managing
blood pressure and flushing of waste materials out from your body.
When your kidneys cannot function properly, it will lead to many
serious diseases. Therefore, taking care of your kidneys is vital,
so they can function in the way they should. Below are some great
foods for the wellness of your kidneys:
Parsley is a good diuretic. Based on a study done in 2002, the herb
is able to inhibit potassium and sodium pump in to the kidneys,
leading to rising of urine production. In a book titled Living Foods
for Health, parsley has been described as an herb capable of
boosting kidney function to remove waste from the body. It is also
used to treat water retention, painful urination and fatigue. This
useful herb has traditionally been used as a natural remedy for
kidney stones and other kidney ailments.
Cauliflower is another kidney-friendly food. This healthful
vegetable has an abundant of vitamin C, dietary fiber and folate. It
helps boost kidney function as the antioxidant compounds found in
the cruciferous vegetable contain great anti-inflammatory
properties. Eating cauliflower protect you against kidney stones. It
is important to get rid of kidney stones as they can further develop
into more serious kidney disease. You can eat raw cauliflower with a
dip or add it to salads. Other healthful way would be to boil or
steam the cruciferous vegetable, and season it well to make it a
Blueberries, Cranberries and Strawberries
Bad environment and normal body’s metabolism can generate free
radicals. These harmful free radicals can be neutralized by
antioxidants. Most berries are rich in antioxidant compounds. Adding
plenty of berries to your meals helps maintain kidney health and
also prevent kidney ailments from turning worse. Cranberries are
able to inhibit bacteria from causing bladder infections, while
raspberries prevent cell damage and stop tumor formation.
Strawberries help reduce oxidative damage, and blueberries can treat
kidney inflammation. Berries are usually high in vitamin C, which
can boost the immunity of your body.
Researchers in France have proven that eating an apple a day helps
enhance kidney function. In their experiment, obese rats were given
diet that contains 20% apple. Besides lower triglycerides and
cholesterol were detected in the body of the rats, their urine was
found to contain higher toxin malondialdehyde, lesser protein and
glucose. That showed the kidney function of the rats had been
improved by taking the diet.
David Wolfe, who authors Eating for Beauty, has verified cucumber as
the best organic kidney cleanser. The culinary fruit can rid bladder
and kidney of stones and debris. Erepsin, an enzyme found in
cucumbers helps kidneys to remove excessive proteins. They are also
effective in killing tapeworms in the digestive tract.

Recently, the Supreme Court of India, in a case related to Thangjam Manorama Manipur, (who was allegedly killed in 2004 by Assam Rifles, a security force of government) directed the Government of India to award 10,00,000 INR or £10,340.00 GBP as compensation to Manorama’s mother. But the serious concern is that in spite of such direction, the court could not spell any judgment against the culprits in the case of Manorama and other similar cases yet.
I visited Manorama’s house two months ago and met her brother and mother. My visit was part ofa solidarity visit where I participated in Asian solidarity events organized by May 18 Memorial, Forum Asia and Just Peace Foundation at Imphal, Manipur.
‘I don’t want to speak anything’ were the words of Manorama’s mother Thangjam Khumanleima, when it was conveyed by our local host, a human rights activist, Babloo Loitongbam, that we all came from various parts of India and from abroad to meet her. We were there for 40 minutes but she remained silent and appeared full of sorrow, despair and anger.
Manorama’s brother Thangjam Dolen talked to us. He described what happened on that night of July 10-11 2004, when soldiers of Assam Rifles knocked on the door, called Manorama outside of house, tortured her, and forcefully took her away. They alleged that Manorama was associated with PLA (People’s Liberation Army), an insurgent group in north east India. The denial by Manorama did not stop them. After few hours, the dead body of Manorama was found on the roadside. People came to protest as they noticed that there were bullet shots in her private parts and therefore suspected rape by the soldiers.
There were massive protests across Manipur. 10 women had staged a nude protest in front of the historical Kangla Fort with a banner reading “Indian Army Rape Us”. These protests had forced the state government to order for an inquiry under the Justice Upendra Commission. However, Assam Rifles went to higher court in August 2004 and petitioned that no inquiry can be made as the concerned soldiers were protected by the Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) and therefore, as per the AFSPA rule, a prior sanction is required from central government. While the Higher court (Guwahati High Court) had passed an order in the year 2010 and upheld that an inquiry commission could be set-up and the State of Manipur is authorised to act on the report of commission , however the Government of India moved to Supreme Court against this order. Now, Supreme Court of India agreed to hear the petition but only ordered compensation of Rs. 10 lakhs (INR) to the victim’s family.
It is a case that witnessed massive protest. Still 10 years on, the order was for compensation, not justice. There are many such cases, of rapes, fake killings, torture, reported and unreported in the AFSPA imposed areas of North East Region of India (through AFSPA 1958) and in Jammu & Kashmir (through AFSPA 1990). AFSPA provided extra-ordinary powers of shoot on suspicion, search and arrest. It also provides impunity to armed forces with its section 6 where no criminal case can be lodged against any armed force personals without prior sanction from central government. Unfortunately, the sanction has not ever been provided, not even in a single case.
AFSPA is a draconian law. It is responsible for gross human rights violations by security forces and many national/international human rights groups including UN bodies have called for India to repeal it, but it is still surviving.
During the recent parliamentary elections in India, the state unit of Manipur of BJP promised to repeal AFSPA if voted into power. It has been 7 months now since the BJP has come to power, but AFSPA remains operational.
This scenario where the right to justice of common people has been deprived by ‘impunity’ granted to functionaries of state violence has only worsened people’s despair and made them disillusioned by the state. Now it is upon the new government of India and civil society, together with activists from all over the globe to work towards the end of culture of violence and to ensure repeal of AFSPA and restore the right to life, the right to justice.

MY PRIVATE NOTES

JOIN THE CONVERSATION
My proportions may have been off, but it worked! I used 4 medium red potatoes and 4 smallish red beets. Wasn't sure if the egg yolks were supposed to be cooked or raw. I wasn't comfortable with raw eggs, so I used an equal volume of mayo. Because mayo contains eggs, right? I used a little less cream (actually 1/2 and 1/2) and a little extra vinegar. Will add some sliced green onion next time. DH liked it too = it contains beets, 'nuf said! Looking forward to left-overs tomorrow! Oh yeah, I served it over the lettuce and mixed everything up while I was eating. Made for CQ4/2017Replies 1
This salad was very good and different from the ordinary American potato salad. I really loved the addition of the beets, they added a small sweetness to the tang of the dressing. I ended up making 6 servings so I used 3 beets and I could honestly have use about 6 and it would have been even better. I too rarely make beets and it's a vegetable that we all love, so thank you for giving me an easy way to add them to our diet. The only thing that I think this recipe needed was a little salt and pepper, which I sprinkled on after plating. Thank you Dreamer! Made for team Tasty Testers for the Scandinavian round during ZWT9.Reply
I do love beets & probably don't serve them anywhere near enough, so this recipe really got hold of me! Although I did follow your recipe right on down, I did use unpeeled potatoes because we enjoy the taste & texture they give a recipe like this! Your potato salad is wonderful & we thoroughly enjoyed it! Thanks for sharing the recipe! [Tagged & made in Please Review My Recipe]Reply

- Kathy is currently doing the DMA tour (currently at UGA), and I'm spending lots of time with Ian. Unfortunately, he seems to have finally found the "terrible" part of his Terrible Twos. Thankfully, my honey will be home tonight. Hopefully.
- I found out earlier this week that Martin Nodell passed away. I wasn't aware of who he was either, until I heard that he created Green Lantern. GL was one of my favorite comic book characters growing up. I still would like to get a tattoo of the Green Lantern symbol one day.
- Peter Boyle's passing was a little shocking, but not unexpected. I remember seeing him on an episode of Mind of Mencia and thinking, "Man, he's not looking too good". Little did I know. I also was not aware of the connection between him and John Lennon, nor of his training as a monk. Goodbye, Mr. Boyle.
- Soy makes you teh ghey?
- 11 days until Christmas. I have some things to say about the alleged "War on Christmas", but I'll wait until I get my thoughts together a bit better.
- Anthony Field, aka Anthony Wiggle, has announced his retirement from the group. In kids' music parlance, this is like hearing The Beatles are breaking up. 'Course, by the time Ian knows about it and can understand, he'll probably be full on into Zambian death rap-metal-yodel fusion. In the meantime, I gotta relearn their names: Jeff, Murray, Greg, and Sam.

The chain that holds them is doubled and serves as a layered look. Completely designed and constructed by Cheryl Syminink. Sterling silver and glass bead on an 18" chain.


Discover the 'Albatross Latitudes and explore the stunning Subantarctic islands including Snares, Bounty, Antipodes, Auckland, Campbell, Macquarie & Chatham Islands on this comprehensive 19-day expedition perfect for those interested in birds, history, wildlife and remote places and photography.
Day 1: Invercargill
This evening there will be an informal get together at the hotel for
dinner, an excellent opportunity to meet fellow adventurers and some
of our expedition team.
Day 2: Port of Bluff
Take breakfast at your leisure in the hotel restaurant before
exploring the local attractions and transferring to the Port of Bluff
where we board the Akademik Shokalskiy.
Day 3: The Snares – North East Island
Cruise by Zodiac, if weather and sea conditions are suitable, along
the sheltered eastern side of North East Island. We should see the
endemic Snares Crested Penguin, Snares Island Tomtit and Fernbirds. We
should also see Cape Pigeons, Antarctic Terns, White-fronted Terns and
Red-billed Gulls. There are hundreds of thousands of Sooty Shearwaters
nesting here and the Buller’s Albatross also breed here from late
Day 4: Auckland Islands – Enderby Island
Enderby Island is a great place to view birds and wildlife. We visit
Sandy Bay, the main breeding ground for the rare New Zealand
(Hooker’s) Sea Lion and just one of three breeding grounds on the
Auckland Islands. There are chances to observe the Southern Royal
Albatross, Northern Giant Petrel, Auckland Island Shag, Auckland
Island Flightless Teal, Auckland Island Banded Dotterel, Auckland
Island Tomtit, Bellbird, Pipit, Red-crowned Parakeet, Yellow-eyed
Penguin and Light-mantled Sooty Albatross. We will also keep a lookout
for the rare Subantarctic Snipe. On Derry Castle Reef there is a good
chance of seeing the Bar-tailed Godwit, Turnstone and other migratory
Day 5: Auckland Islands – Carnley Harbour
These islands have witnessed many a shipwreck in days gone by, and
harbour tales of castaways and Coastwatchers. If weather and sea
conditions are suitable, energetic expeditioners are able to climb to
the South West Cape Shy Albatross colony where Gibson’s Wandering
Albatross often nest among the tussocks above the colony.
Day 6: At Sea
We can expect some of the best pelagic birding on this leg of the
journey from the Auckland Islands to Macquarie Island with great views
of species such as the Royal Albatrosses, Wandering Albatrosses, Shy
Albatross, Black-browed Albatross, White-chinned Petrel,
diving-petrel, Little Shearwaters, storm-petrel and, to confuse
everybody, numerous prion species.
Days 7 to 8: Macquarie Island
The only place in the world where the regal Royal Penguin breeds,
this remote outpost supports a breath-taking concentration of
wildlife. You will never forget your first experience of visiting a
noisy ‘penguin city’ where you will be witness to a thousand
chattering, feeding chicks, territorial disputes, petty pilfering and
courtship displays: King, Gentoo and Rockhopper Penguins can be seen
here. We meet with Park Rangers and seek out the thousands of Southern
Elephant Seals lolling on the beaches and along the coast, Redpolls
and Imperial Shag can often be spotted.
Day 9: At Sea
We will be keeping a keen lookout for cetaceans, albatross and
petrels today, relax in the ship’s bar or catch up on your reading in
Day 10: Campbell Island – Perseverance Harbour
We drop anchor in Perseverance Harbour. Once on shore we walk to the
nesting site of the Southern Royal Albatross or to Northwest Bay,
passing beautiful megaherbs on the hills. During the day we should see
the Campbell Island Shag and Teal, Southern Skua, Antarctic Tern,
Dunnock, New Zealand Pipit and, hopefully, the elusive Campbell Island
Day 11: At Sea
Join us on the bridge, where we keep a keen lookout for species
commonly seen in this area: Black-browed Albatross, Campbell Island
Albatross, Light-mantled Sooty Albatross, Salvin’s Albatross, Sooty
Shearwater and Little Shearwater. There should be plenty of petrels
and, again, the hard to identify prion species.
Day 12: Antipodes Islands
One of the most isolated, least known and rugged of the Subantarctic
Islands; landings are not permitted here, so we cruise along the coast
looking for the endemic Antipodes Island and Reischek’s Parakeet. We
may also see the Antipodes subspecies of the New Zealand Pipit, and
with half the world population of Erect-crested Penguins here, we
should encounter one or two as well as Antarctic Terns and Kelp Gulls.
Day 13: Bounty Islands
These inhospitable granite islets are home to thousands of Salvin’s
Albatross, Erect-crested Penguins, Fulmar Prions and the endemic
Bounty Island Shag, the world’s rarest. At sea we should spot
Wandering Albatross species, Northern Royal Albatross, Mottled Petrel,
Soft-plumaged Petrel, Broad-billed Prion, White-chinned Petrel and
Black-bellied Storm-Petrels as well as Wilson’s Storm-Petrel.
Day 14: At Sea and Pyramid Rock
We continue north towards the Chatham Islands, with similar species
accompanying us as yesterday. Towards evening, as we approach the
islands, we are closer to the Subantarctic and sub tropical
convergence and will see a subtle change in the species composition.
Late this afternoon we arrive at the spectacular Pyramid Rock, the
only breeding place of the Chatham Island Albatross.
Day 15: Chatham Islands – Waitangi
This morning we go ashore on the main island where we might see the
endemic Chatham Island Shag and along the coast the Chatham Island
Oystercatcher. We visit a private bush reserve on the south coast to
see the Chatham Island Warbler, Chatham Island Pigeon and Tui. This
afternoon we have another look for the Magenta and Chatham Island
Day 16: South East Island and Mangere Islands
Arrive early morning at South East Island, one of the world’s
greatest nature reserves, here we plan to Zodiac cruise to see the
endangered Shore Plover. We will also keep our eyes peeled for the
Pitt Island Shag. Before we depart the archipelago we visit the
Mangere Islands from where the endemic Black Robin was rescued.
Days 17 to 18: At Sea
En route to Dunedin we will cross the Chatham Rise, here
nutrient-rich waters allow for an overlap between northern pelagic
species and birds from southern latitudes. We can expect to see Royal
Albatross, Wandering Albatross, Westland Black Petrel, Cook’s Petrel
and much more.
Day 19: Dunedin
Our adventure ends at this historic Otago Harbour. Early this morning
we arrive in port and after a final breakfast we say our farewells
before disembarking and transferring by complimentary coach to either
a central city point or to the airport.
