A new Stephen Hawking book came out Tuesday, and the late physicist issues a warning in it that sounds straight out of a dystopian sci-fi movie. Hawking worries that genetic editing will allow the rich to turn themselves into "superhumans" who will eventually dominate the world and perhaps the universe, reports the Guardian. "Once such superhumans appear, there will be significant political problems with unimproved humans, who won’t be able to compete," warns Hawking in Brief Answers to the Big Questions, as excerpted in London's Sunday Times. "Presumably, they will die out, or become unimportant. Instead, there will be a race of self-designing beings who are improving at an ever-increasing rate." Hawking says the first stages of this development will be beneficial, with fixes to diseases such as muscular dystrophy through technology such as CRISPR.
Laws will be passed to keep genetic engineering under control, but "people won’t be able to resist the temptation to improve human characteristics, such as memory, resistance to disease and length of life," he predicts, adding that such breakthroughs will likely happen this century—and be available only to the wealthy. Looking further out, "if the human race manages to redesign itself, it will probably spread out and colonise other planets and stars," he writes. The latter could become necessary in the event of catastrophe, the mostly likely being an asteroid strike that wipes out much of life on Earth, writes Hawking, per Quartz. Our No. 2 threat? Climate change. One "big question" that Hawking answers is whether God exists. He thinks not. "If you like, you can call the laws of science 'God,' but it wouldn’t be a personal God that you would meet and put questions to." (Read more Stephen Hawking stories.)

More than 90 global brands and retailers have so far signed the International Accord for Health and Safety in the Garment and Textile Industry, since it began this week on 1 September. More brands are expected to sign on to the 26-month legally-binding agreement, which comes into effect as the Bangladesh Accord on Fire and Building Safety expires.
The new signatories include the world’s biggest fashion retailers H&M, Inditex (Zara) and Uniqlo, as well as Next, C&A, Marks & Spencer and U.S. brands Calvin Klein, Tommy Hilfiger and American Eagle.
By signing the International Accord with UNI Global Union and IndustriALL Global Union, garment brands commit to the health and safety work already undertaken in Bangladesh and to the expansion of country-specific health and safety programmes based on the principles of the 2013 and 2018 Accord agreements. The new agreement will be implemented through the International Accord Foundation in the Netherlands.
UNI General Secretary, Christy Hoffman, said:
“Today marks a significant step forward for workers in the global garment industry. In signing the International Accord, brands and retailers shore up their commitment to factory safety in Bangladesh and also agree to establishing badly-needed enforceable and transparent health and safety programmes in at least one other garment producing country. We are delighted that so many global retailers and brands have signed up to the International Accord and in doing so, are taking responsibility for garment worker safety in their supply chains. We look forward to welcoming more signatories to the International Accord as soon as possible.”
The International Accord, which was announced on 25 August, comes after months of negotiations between global unions UNI and IndustriALL and brands. It includes the legally-binding commitments, respect for freedom of association and independent administration and monitoring that led to the success of the Bangladesh Accord, while also expanding the remit to include other countries and an option to advance its scope to include human rights due diligence.
The full list of signatories to the International Accord can be found here.

If a boat goes downstream 72 miles in 3 hours and upstream 60 miles in 6 hours, the rate of the river and the rate of the boat in still water respectively are ________?
Let the speed of boat be x mph and speed of river be y mph.
Time taken to go 72 miles=72/(x+y)=3
Time taken to go 60 miles=60/(x-y)=6
Adding eq (1) and (2)
So y=7 mph

Sick To The Back Teeth is an one-man project started by Chris M in 2002. Its vast discography has albums in many different genres, mostly drone and noise - but this particular release is black metal. According to Chris M., he was pleasantly surprised by the amount of anarcho-BM bands on my blog, and decided to send me some of his music (in particular this EP, in his opinion, fits in with the theme of my blog).

After weeks of beta testing, Apple has finally released the iOS 9.3.2 software update for compatible iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad devices.
Apple seeded 4 betas of iOS 9.3.2 to developers and members of the public beta program, before releasing the final version today. The first beta was released on April 6, more than a month ago.
iOS 9.3.2 is only a minor update as it doesn’t include any significant new features. It’s mostly an update that fixes bugs and issues found in iOS 9.3.1 and earlier.
It does, however, include one useful feature that wasn’t available before.
In the latest iOS update, users can enable Night Shift mode and Low Power mode at the same time. Apart from that new feature, the update mainly fixes bugs, and one important one that has plagued iPhone SE users.
On the iPhone SE, Bluetooth enable headphones didn’t work very well and had issues with audio quality. That has been fixed in the latest update. Here are all the other things that the iOS 9.3.2 update fixes;
- Fixes an issue where looking up dictionary definitions could fail
- Addresses an issue that prevents typing email addresses when using the Japanese Kana keyboard in Mail and Messages
- Fixes an issue for VoiceOver users using the Alex voice, where the device switches to a different voice to announce punctuation or spaces
- Fixes an issue that prevented MDM servers from installing Custom B2B apps
The update is available as an OTA update or an iTunes download. If you’re on iOS 9.3.1, you can simply go to Settings>General>Software Update and install the new update. The update weighs around 55.5 MB.
iOS 9.3.2 Jailbreak
To those who’re waiting for a jailbreak, it is best that you stick to the firmware you’re jailbroken on. Do not update if you want your jailbreak, as there aren’t any new jailbreaks to support the latest firmware. Rumors and reports have suggested that the jailbreak teams have been waiting for Apple to release iOS 9.3.2. We’ll find out soon enough!


On Tuesday our board will consider approving renegotiated contracts for our assistant superintendents. The new contracts include incremental increases and longer terms.
Here are links to the new contracts:
And here is a link to the Salary Schedule
Our kid's programs and services are being cut while we watch our reserves evaporate to cover budget deficits as far as the eye can see. These budgets are submitted by our assistant superintendent of business and approved by this board. The assistant supes are asking for increased compensation and benefits. They want longer contracts with guaranteed increases. Now these same administrators are proposing more program cuts and salary reductions for all district staff while asking for more for themselves. As I said in earlier posts, if the board approves this, consider it a slap in our faces. If these administrators ask for and receive more for themselves, in my opinion, they will have no credibility in the future asking our kids to take less.
This issue will be considered in the closed portion of the board meeting. You will only be able to voice your opinion at 5pm. I will be there to voice mine; I urge you to do the same. Now is the time to make a stand, our kids need us.

DALLAS – Former Fox Sports broadcaster Craig James has sued his former employer for religious discrimination.
The lawsuit comes nearly two years after Fox Sports fired James for his public expression of his religious views on marriage and civil unions. According to a news release from Liberty Institute which is representing James, the lawsuit alleges that Fox Sports fired him for one reason only – his religious beliefs about marriage. In so doing, Fox Sports violated the law, including the Texas Commission on Human Rights Act (“TCHRA”) and Texas contract law.
In an interview with The Dallas Morning News, Fox Sports spokesperson Lou D’Ermilio said, “We just asked ourselves how Craig’s statements would play in our human resources department. He couldn’t say those things here.” In response, Liberty Institute complained to the Texas Workforce Commission on behalf of James and filed a lawsuit against Fox Sports.
“This case is much bigger than me,” James said. “It affects every person who holds religious beliefs. I will not let Fox Sports trample my religious liberty. Today, many people have lost their jobs because of their faith. Sadly, countless are afraid to let their bosses know they even have a faith. This is America and I intend to make sure Fox Sports knows they aren’t above the law.”
“What Fox Sports has done to Craig James is inexcusable,” said Liberty Institute President and CEO Kelly Shackelford.It’s also illegal. No one should be fired from their job because of their faith. This is the ultimate intolerance.”
Before coming to Fox Sports, James was a broadcaster for ESPN as an analyst for college football games. He also played football at Southern Methodist University, the Washington Federals of the United States Football League and the New England Patriots.

If only Josiah Leming wasn’t such a cry baby. Seriously, the tears get old fast, but my goodness I love that kid. I so want to see him go through. He is so talented, he can sing and play the piano beautiful. Below is a video I found on youtube.
I also wasn’t very impressed with Amanda Overmyer last night, but I still want to see more from her.
I had never heard Carly Smithson before – the Irish girl. I really liked her.
I still like Brooke White, but I COULD NOT stand Brooke Helvie. Paula went way up in my book when she said “no” to her. I could have killed Simon for his “yes.”
Some others I liked:
David Hernandez (I hadn’t heard him before either. Wow. Seriously, wow. He’s so stinkin’ cute…oh and he can really sing.)
I’m on the fence with David Archulita and Syesha Mercada. I was sad to see Suzanne Toon go.
Anyway, as if anyone cares about what I think about American Idol…but here you have it.

God, the trend for
God, the trend for obstructable cameras annoys me.
They’re the complete tech illiterate’s idea of a privacy/security feature.
If a hacker gets access to your computer, she’s gonna use it to steal your various account credentials and use your computer’s processing power and network bandwidth for cryptocurrency mining and DDOSing respectively, not encoding and transmitting video hours of video that she then has to store somewhere sift through.
Having your camera
Having your camera compromised by RATs is actually a thing that happens. The odds of it happening to any given individual are slim, sure, but it’s a real issue – and it’s not “hackers” usually so much as one of the user’s friends or family. In what way is life made more difficult for you by making it easier to preserve privacy?
In this instance it’s not even about it being obstructable so much as there being no room on the display for a camera.
What happens if you leave the
What happens if you leave the camera up and close the lid ? do you get scuffs on the screen or does it move out the way somehow ?

Laptop makers used to do
Laptop makers used to do that, it was a simple process of making the bezel slightly taller than the display, thus preventing the actual display from getting marked, but with laptop makers looking to make their devices thinner, they removed those intentional gaps.

I like the lack of bezels shown here. Sure, it’s a shame that the webcam placement gets compromised, but hey, if I look at the ratio of number of hours looking at laptop screen vs the number of hours I spent on a video chat, it’s probably 100000:1, so I’m okay with that.
I’ll wait for a thicker
I’ll wait for a thicker laptop with a desktop Raven Ridge inside, Ryzen 5 2400G would be nice, and a good workhorse laptop. I want a laptop that still has an Ethernet port and no adaptor needed. I think that ASUS should really consider putting the desktop Raven Ridge/Ryzen 5 2400G in a laptop form factor. And that will make for a nice lower end gaming laptop option that can be had around the $700 price point with options for adding a discrete Mobile Vega on some higher end variant.
$1850, and even pricy by Apple standards, so no thanks. And that wedge design only works well for a doorstop.
And where are the laptops with USB 3.1 generation 2, or even USB 3.2 options also. TB3 is nice but that still only comes with Intel’s dogfood graphics along for the ride with no Zen/Vega options currently.
I like this trend of 3:2
I like this trend of 3:2 displays. So much better for browsing the web and coding.

Understanding the Importance of Choosing the Right Clinic
Deciding to undergo a hair transplant is a big decision, and choosing the right clinic is crucial to ensure a successful and satisfying outcome. With so many clinics offering hair transplant services, it can be overwhelming to find the one that meets your specific needs and provides the highest level of quality and expertise. This guide will walk you through the key factors to consider when choosing a hair transplant clinic, helping you make an informed decision and achieve the results you desire.
Evaluating the Expertise and Experience of the Surgeon
The surgeon’s expertise and experience are the backbone of a successful hair transplant. When selecting a clinic, it is essential to consider the qualifications and track record of the surgeon who will be performing the procedure. Look for a surgeon who specializes in hair transplant surgeries and has a proven track record of successful procedures. Research their credentials, including their education, training, and certifications. Additionally, take the time to review before and after photos of previous patients to assess the surgeon’s skill and expertise. If you want to know more about the subject covered, https://www.wmglondon.com, explore the thoughtfully chosen external material to supplement your study and broaden your understanding of the subject.
Assessing the Clinic’s Reputation and Reviews
Another crucial aspect to consider is the clinic’s reputation and reviews from former patients. Look for clinics with positive reviews and testimonials from previous patients. Reading about other people’s experiences can provide valuable insights into the clinic’s professionalism, staff competence, and overall treatment outcomes. Explore reputable online platforms and forums dedicated to hair transplant discussions to gather unbiased opinions and recommendations.
Examining the Clinic’s Facilities and Technology
State-of-the-art facilities and advanced technology play a significant role in the success of your hair transplant. Ensure that the clinic you choose has modern and well-equipped facilities that meet high standards of hygiene and safety. Cutting-edge technology, such as advanced surgical instruments and techniques, can also contribute to more precise and natural-looking results. Request a tour of the clinic before making a final decision, allowing you to visually inspect the facilities and obtain additional information.
Considering the Clinic’s Approach to Patient Care
Choosing a hair transplant clinic that prioritizes patient care and offers personalized treatment plans is essential for a positive experience. A reputable clinic will take the time to thoroughly evaluate your individual needs, expectations, and medical history before recommending a suitable course of action. They will provide detailed information about the procedure, potential risks, and realistic outcomes, allowing you to make an informed decision. Look for a clinic that offers post-operative care and support to ensure a smooth recovery process.
Weighing the Cost and Payment Options
While cost should not be the sole determining factor, it is important to consider your budget and the affordability of the clinic’s services. However, be cautious of clinics offering significantly lower prices, as this could indicate compromised quality or lack of experience. Request a detailed breakdown of the costs involved and inquire about available payment options, including financing plans. Some reputable clinics may offer flexible payment options to make the procedure more accessible to a wider range of clients.
Choosing the right hair transplant clinic requires careful consideration of various factors, such as the surgeon’s expertise, clinic’s reputation, facilities and technology, patient care approach, and affordability. Take your time to thoroughly research and evaluate different clinics, asking pertinent questions and reviewing testimonials, before making your final decision. By doing so, you will increase your chances of achieving remarkable results and restoring your confidence through a successful hair transplant procedure.

South America is known for being mysterious and beautiful, but some people don’t know the incredible adventure that it has to offer as well. Here are five of the Best South America Adventure Destinations that will blow you away!
1. Torres del Paine – Best South America Adventure Destinations
Torres del Paine is a true hiker’s paradise with a little of everything – glaciers, lakes, mountains, and so much more. The weather can change from snow to blue skies to cloudy and windy in one day. The breathtaking sites are unforgettable and accessible to all types of adventures. The hikes range from very easy to challenging and everything in between. This is an absolute must for any hiker visiting South America.
2. Uyuni Salt Flats – Best South America Adventure Destinations
The Uyuni Salt Flats might be the purest adventure destination in South America. Spending a couple of days in a jeep traveling through the salt flats provides the ultimate sense of exploration and wonder. Fun fact, no matter what the time of year you visit, you will have fantastic photo opportunities! Don’t forget about stargazing in Uyuni, an eye-opening experience for anyone interested in the cosmos.
3. Amazon – Best South America Adventure Destinations
The Amazon Jungle is a must-visit for any adventure seeker. With its dense forestry, diversity of wildlife, and incredibly powerful river basin, there is a magical aura that the Amazon contains unlike any other destination in the world. Whether you choose to do a cruise or stay at a lodge, you will get the feeling that you are truly on a voyage through untapped land and come out the other end a more experienced adventurer!
4. Pantanal – Best South America Adventure Destinations
The Pantanal (along with the Galapagos, see below) is one of the best places to see wildlife in all of South America. Since it is near the Amazon and does not have the same dense forest as the Amazon, the wildlife is accessible and easier to spot. You will see a wide range of animals including giant river otters, anacondas, iguanas, caiman, monkeys, capybaras and if you’re lucky, even a jaguar!
5. Galapagos – Best South America Adventure Destinations
When headed to the Galapagos be sure to bring a GoPro or a high-quality camera! The Galapagos became famous because of Darwin and diverse wildlife. It lives up to its reputation and more! Turtles, sea lions, blue-footed boobies, iguanas, penguins, and flamingoes are just the fraction of the animals you can get up close and personal. For the more adventurous people, scuba diving is an amazing option and one of the best places to dive in the world!

- XVG/USD is up 22% today on June 15.
- The rest of the crypto market is experiencing a significant crash while Verge continues going up.
- Verge remains in a strong daily uptrend.
Verge is one of the few cryptocurrencies going up today, on June 15. Most of the altcoins and Bitcoin are dropping. XVG was heavily rejected from $0.0097 but has managed to recover and it’s trading at $0.0085 at the time of writing. Bulls are in full force again looking at $0.01 for the first time since June 2019.
XVG/USD daily chart
It’s clear that the bulls have a lot of momentum and practically all indicators are extremely bullish. The MACD continues rising while the EMA’s are significantly below the current price. Despite the meteoric gains, XVG has been in a decently healthy daily uptrend with a good amount of consolidation periods.
Buyers are not facing many resistance levels to the upside. The last daily high is basically the only resistance point before $0.01. We could still see another pullback before $0.01 but as long as the bulls can hold the daily 12-EMA and the 26-EMA, the uptrend will remain intact.

Science and research at the ELI Facilities
ELI opens up possibilities to new investigations in particle physics, nuclear physics, high energy beam science, nonlinear field theory, and ultrahigh-pressure physics. Besides its fundamental physics mission, a paramount objective of ELI is to provide ultra-short energetic particle (10 to 100 GeV) and radiation (up to a few MeV) beams produced with compact laser plasma accelerators. ELI brings together its scientific, engineering and medical missions for the benefit of industry and society alike.
ELI will have a considerable impact on several fields of materials sciences, medicine, and environment protection. In collaboration with medical doctors, laser-driven ion beam therapy will be developed further, in materials science, ELI will help clarify the mechanisms leading to defect creation and aging of materials in nuclear reactors. It must be emphasized that the optical, X-ray and particle beams provided by ELI-lasers will be perfectly synchronized due to their generation process. This enables pump-probe investigations in a very broad range of energies for photon (eV–MeV) and particle beams (eV–GeV) with very high accuracy.
The ELI facilities are the most multifunctional of all existing laser facilities, and are among the most extreme in terms of power and pulse duration. ELI boosts the peak power of single lasers into the 10 petawatt regime, compresses pulse durations into the attosecond regime, and scales up repetition rates to multiple kilohertz, constituting an evolution of more than one order of magnitude in these laser parameters.
ELI consists of three sites, housing complementary record-breaking high-power laser systems:
The ELI Attosecond Light Pulse Source (ELI-ALPS) in Szeged, Hungary provides light sources between THz (1012 Hz) and X-ray (1018 – 1019 Hz) frequency range in the form of ultrashort pulses with high repetition rates. ELI-ALPS will be dedicated to extremely fast dynamics by taking snap-shots in the attosecond scale (a billionth of a billionth of second) of the electron dynamics in atoms, molecules, plasmas and solids. It will also pursue research with ultrahigh intensity lasers.
In Dolni Brezany, Czech Republic, the ELI-Beamlines facility focuses on the development of short-pulse secondary sources of radiation and particles, and on their multidisciplinary applications in molecular, biomedical and material sciences, physics of dense plasmas, warm dense matter, laboratory astrophysics. In addition, the pillar utilises its high-power, high-repetition-rate lasers for high-field physics experiments with focused intensities of about 1023 W/cm2, investigating exotic plasma physics and non-linear QED effects.
ELI-NUCLEAR PHYSICS FACILITY
Laser-based nuclear physics is the main focus of the ELI Nuclear Physics (ELI-NP) facility in Magurele, Romania. The facility hosts two machines: a very high intensity laser, where beams from two 10 PW lasers are coherently added to get intensities of the order of 1023 – 1024 W/cm2, and a very intense, brilliant gamma beam. Applications include nuclear physics experiments to characterize laser – target interaction, photonuclear reactions, and exotic nuclear physics and astrophysics.

Series: Lord of the Rings part #2
Author: J.R.R. Tolkein
Source/Format: Purchased; Anniversary Edition
More Details: Fantasy
Publisher/Publication Date: First published on November 11, 1954
Goodreads Amazon Barnes & Noble Book Depository Target
Synopsis from Goodreads...
One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them...
Frodo and his Companions of the Ring have been beset by danger during their quest to prevent the Ruling Ring from falling into the hands of the Dark Lord by destroying it in the Cracks of Doom. They have lost the wizard, Gandalf, in a battle in the Mines of Moria. And Boromir, seduced by the power of the Ring, tried to seize it by force. While Frodo and Sam made their escape, the rest of the company was attacked by Orcs. Now they continue the journey alone down the great River Anduin—alone, that is, save for the mysterious creeping figure that follows wherever they go.
The scope of the story has always been broad and complicated, with a timeline that spans across years, weeks, and days at any given time. The Fellowship of the Ring was a much more linear story, going from the early days in the Shire to the end of that part. In The Two Towers, each end of the fellowship had their own undertakings. So it was broken down into two parts, Book Three and Book Four, which were individually dedicated to those aforementioned ends.
The Lord of the Rings is a well-known story, so I won’t surmise too much about the plot. The Two Towers involved a lot of walking, long conversations, and going places by horseback—as well as eating—yet the story maintained a sense of urgency. For instance, it started right after The Fellowship of the Ring ended, and thus it felt as if the pivotal scene was just continuing instead of starting at a different point. And at times, there was some fast paced action, as well as scenes right out of a horror movie (if you’ve read The Two Towers then you know exactly what I’m referring to).
One aspect I truly enjoy about this story is the friendships. Some of them came up in unexpected places, but the one that stands out the most is between Sam and Frodo. They were in-between a rock and a hard place for much of their page time, and there was no better way to show the loyalty between the two than during tough situations.
The Fellowship of the Ring was the beginning of the war, where the threat of it was only a shadow off in the distance. Whereas The Two Towers was where it really began in earnest, and it was here where some of the most notable battles/incidents took place.
At the end of the day, there were a lot of aspects about the story that I’m having a great deal of fun with. So I plan on reading part three sometime soon.

Australia is one of the most unique and diverse countries on planet earth. Australia was first settled by the indigenous tribes who were the sole owners of this vast continent. Later during the nineteenth century, European immigrants arrived along with many captive prisoners. Australia is the most sparsely populated country and most of the population is concentrated along the glamorous east coast cities of Canberra, Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane. Australia’s western half and central region is full of desert and outback. Initially after the advent of Europeans many aborigine tribes lost their lands and rights to the Europeans and their numbers also declined due to European introduced diseases and armed clashes. Europeans settlers formed provinces, initially six which later joined to become a one country- Australia. This is a highly developed country with very high quality of life. Australia has large areas that have been deforested for agricultural purposes, but many native forest areas survive in extensive national parks and other undeveloped areas. Long-term Australian concerns include salinity, pollution, loss of biodiversity, and management and conservation of coastal areas, especially the Great Barrier Reef.
This is a country full of passionate people who excel in arts and music, sports, science and technology and whatever they do. Australia is also a very sporting nation where sports are way of life. Australian Rules football and cricket is very popular. Recently with the success of Australian Soccer team, football is widely followed and admired. Rugby remains a very popular sports and Australia is full of swimmers who always make the country proud during the Olympics. The service industries, including tourism, education, and financial services, account for the majority of the Australian Gross Domestic Product. Within the service sector, tourism is one of the most important industries in Australia, as it provides employment, contributes $73 billion to the economy each year and accounts for at least 11% of total exports. Australia is also blessed with a long coastline and beaches play an important role in the life of locals. Every weekends and holidays, large numbers of locals hit the beaches and enjoy life.

Australia is a large continent and a wide variation of climates is found. Most of the country receives more than 3,000 hours of sunshine a year. Generally, the north is hot and tropical, while south tends to sub-tropical and temperate. Most rainfall is around the coast, and much of the centre is arid and semi-arid. The daytime maximum temperatures in Darwin rarely drop below 30°C, even in winter, while night temperatures in winter usually hover around 15-20°C . Temperatures in some southern regions can drop below freezing in winter and the Snowy Mountains in the South East experiences metres of winter snow. Parts of Tasmania have a temperature range very similar to England. As Australia is in the southern hemisphere the winter is June-August while December-February is summer. The winter is the dry season in the tropics, and the summer is the wet. In the southern parts of the country, the seasonal temperature variation is greater. The rainfall is more evenly distributed throughout the year in the southern parts of the East Coast, while in the rest of the south beyond the Great Dividing Range; the summers are dry with the bulk of the rainfall occurring in winter.
The food of Indigenous Australians was largely influenced by the area in which they lived. Most tribal groups subsisted on a simple hunter-gatherer diet, hunting native game and fish and collecting native plants and fruit. The general term for native Australian flora and fauna used as a source of food is bush tucker. The first settlers introduced British food to the continent which much of what is now considered typical Australian food is based on the Sunday roast has become an enduring tradition for many Australians. Since the beginning of the 20th century, food in Australia has increasingly been influenced by immigrants to the nation, particularly from Southern European and Asian cultures. Australian wine is produced in 60 distinct production areas totalling approximately 160,000 hectares, mainly in the southern, cooler parts of the country. The wine regions in each of these states produce different wine varieties and styles that take advantage of local climates and soil types. The predominant varieties are Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Merlot, Semillon, Pinot noir, Riesling, and Sauvignon Blanc. In 1995, an Australian red wine, Penfolds Grange, won the Wine Spectator award for Wine of the Year, the first time a wine from outside France or California achieved this distinction.
Best Time to Visit
The northern states are best visited during the winters, from July to September while the summer months are ideal for visiting the southern states. On the whole, September and October are the best, when it is neither too hot nor too cold. Australia is located in the Southern Hemisphere and hence the winter lasts from May to August while November to March is summer months. The general climate is dry and pleasant and visitors flock to Australia round the year. Europeans and visitors from western countries prefer to spend their winter holidays i.e. a vacation over Christmas and New Year at Australia. The warm sun kissed beaches are just right for getting the perfect tan. However a variation in climatic conditions makes various times of the year suitable for visiting specific regions within Australia.
How to Reach
By Air: International travellers arrive first in Australia in Sydney, the largest city. After Sydney, significant numbers of travellers also arrive in Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth. Direct International flights are also available in Adelaide, Cairns, Darwin, the Gold Coast and Christmas Island. Regular low coast regional carriers from Asia and New Zealand connect various Australian metropolitan cities. Sydney it is a 3 hour flight from New Zealand, a 7-11 hour flight from countries in Asia, a 14 hour flight from the west of the United States of America and Canada, a 14 hour flight from Johannesburg, South Africa, a 13-16 hours flight from South America, and up to a 24+ hour flight from Western Europe. On account of long journey times from some destinations, some travellers from Europe opt to have a stop-over, commonly in Singapore, Hong Kong, Dubai, Bangkok or Kuala Lumpur.


|Fuel Loaded Into Iranian Nuclear Power Plant|
Fuel Loaded Into Iranian Nuclear Power Plant
23 Aug 2010| Link to the original article
Iran's sole atomic energy plant on Saturday began receiving nuclear fuel, a major step in bringing the long-delayed facility online, Reuters reported."Despite all the pressures, sanctions and hardships imposed by Western nations, we are now witnessing the startup of the largest symbol of Iran's peaceful nuclear activities," said Iranian atomic energy chief Ali Akbar Salehi. The United States and other nations suspect Tehran's nuclear program is aimed at developing a weapons capability, a charge vehemently denied in Iran
A total of 163 fuel assemblies are to be installed within the facility's reactor core in the next two weeks, the Associated Press reported. Electricity production would begin two months later. “Not a single professional in the world has any questions about the chance that the Bushehr nuclear power plant could be used for nonpeaceful purposes,” said Sergei Kiriyenko, head of the Russian state-run atomic energy firm Rosatom, who was on hand for the fueling.
The U.N. nuclear watchdog on Saturday said it "regularly inspects the Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant in Iran," AFP reported. "The agency is taking the appropriate verification measures in line with its established safeguards procedures," which are intended to prevent civilian atomic sites from supporting proliferation, said IAEA spokesman Ayhan Evrensel.
Meanwhile, Tehran also rolled out what was said to be its first drone bomber, Reuters reported. The Karrar system can fly as far as 620 miles at speeds reaching 560 mph, according to state television. It reportedly could carry four cruise missiles, or a load-out of either two 250-pound bombs or a single 500-pound bomb. "If there is an ignorant person or an egoist or a tyrant who just wanted to make an aggression then our Defense Ministry should reach a point where it could cut off the hand of the aggressor before it decided to make an aggression," Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said at the unveiling ceremony. "We should reach a point when Iran would serve as a defense umbrella for all freedom-loving nations in the face of world aggressors," he added. "We don't want to attack anywhere, Iran will never decide to attack anywhere, but our revolution cannot sit idle in the face of tyranny, we can't remain indifferent."
Iran regularly warns Israel and the United States against attacking its nuclear facilities. Such a strike would be "suicidal," Ahmadinejad said.
Iranian Defense Minister Ahmad Vahidi also said Friday the nation had conducted a test launch of a new ground-to-ground missile, AFP reported. He did not offer details on when the test had occurred or how far the Qiam missile could fly. "The missile has new technical aspects and has a unique tactical capacity," Vahidi said of the "new class" weapon. "Since the surface-to-surface missile has no wings, it has [a] lot of tactical power, which also reduces the chances of it being intercepted," he added.
Issue specialists are generally skeptical of Iran's claims regarding its military capabilities, the Los Angeles Times reported. The nation's annual military spending barely exceeds $10 billion, an amount dwarfed by the U.S. defense budget.
Tehran, though, could use friendly militant groups to carry out strikes aimed at causing a significant number of deaths and injuries and at pulling the United States into an unwanted armed engagement.

The Global Security Newswire (GSN) has reported that four protesters broke into a nuclear-arms base in the Netherlands days before 53-nations met in The Hague to develop strategies to assure the security of nuclear materials.
GSN said the protestors from the “Disarm” group photographed the exterior of a building believed to be used to hold B-61 nuclear gravity bombs from the United States. The building is located within Volkel air base, one of six similar bases in Europe.

The leader of the global monitoring group that is helping oversee the eradication of Syria’s chemical weapons arsenal said Monday President Bashar al-Assad’s government has no more margin for delays if it is to meet the June deadline for destruction of its arsenal.
Ahmet Üzümcü, director general of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) said the removal of the chemicals had fallen behind a revised schedule that called for the delivery process to be completed by April 27.

More than 30 months after an earthquake and a tsunami damaged Japan`s Fukushima nuclear plant a team of exports has reported that enormous resources and innovative technologies will have to be employed to overcome the complex issues still to be resolved in decommissioning the facility.
NPSGlobal Foundation, Apr 14, 2014.
A Japanese columnist today said Washington may soon force Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s government to accept traditional safeguards on its nuclear materials unless it backs down from its confrontational stance with neighboring countries.
Norihiro Kato, a contributing opinion writer for the New York Times and literary professor at Waseda University, said in an Op-Ed piece in the newspaper that if Abe “continues on his confrontational agenda, his government may lose Washington’s support.”

Zimbabwe hasn’t signed an agreement allowing uranium exports to Iran, Deputy Mining Minister Gift Chimanikire said, after a media report the country entered into a deal to export the material used to build nuclear weapons.
World Nuclear News, 20 Aug 2013.
The cooling of the reactor cores damaged in March 2011 still requires a constant flow of water, which circulates through the power plant basements. The water becomes radioactive after contact with the cores and is pumped to a storage and treatment facility before recirculation for cooling.

Do you know how to tell when your water heater needs service? Watch for these common signs and call a plumber to resolve the problem before it becomes a bigger issue later.
Water Doesn’t Get Hot Enough
If your water is more warm than hot lately, you may simply need to adjust your settings or you may need to have repairs done. Lukewarm water may also be due to high water usage or particularly cold weather conditions. If you aren’t in the middle of a cold snap and your household hasn’t been using more hot water than usual, check your water heater settings to make sure it is set to the correct temperature. If the settings aren’t causing the decrease in heat, you likely have a faulty burner that needs to be repaired or replaced.
Have you noticed the temperature of your shower fluctuating a lot lately? That means there is probably an issue with your water heater. Inconsistent temperature is often a sign that mineral deposits have accumulated inside the water heater. To prevent mineral buildup, have your hot water tank flushed annually.
Discoloured Hot Water
If you notice that only your hot water is discoloured, you likely have an issue with rust or mineral buildup in your hot water heater. Have your water heater inspected and serviced to get rid of any excess mineral deposits and the cause of the rust. Often, rusty hot water means you need to replace a component in your water heater called the anode rod. Note that if both your hot and cold water are discoloured, the problem likely lies within your pipes, not your water heater.
Decrease in Hot Water Pressure
If you have a decrease in water pressure that only happens with your hot water, not cold, there is something going on with your water heater. A decrease in pressure may indicate the accumulation of mineral buildup around components inside your water heater, or it could be the result of an aging hot water tank that is nearing the end of its lifespan.
If you notice any of these, get in touch with the team at Gideon Plumbing right away. Our professional plumbers have years of experience repairing water heaters. We will determine the problem and recommend solutions tailored to your home.

Today, we had another great day trading the market.
I hope you manage to get some action from the market as well.
Recently, I received many email queries asking more detail about the Sniper Signal. Like typical ‘Kiasu’ and ‘Kiasi’ Singaporean, they want to know more before subscribing to it.
Hence, I decided to show here what is contained inside the sniper signal blog.
Below are 3 screenshots for the last 2 week of sniper signal. The red arrow indicates the signal was triggered the next day and you entered the trade. No arrow means the signal is not triggered and you are not in the trade.
Most of the stock posted in the sniper signal, they just shot up the next day. You get a few thousands dollar in profit instantly without doing anything. But your colleague need to slog 9 to 5 everyday and wait for one month to get their miserable paychecks.
With the sniper signal, you will gain an unfair advantage over other traders and always be ahead in the trading game.
You Don’t Need A Job. You Only Need The Sniper Signal.

Insider Guide: A James Cook Medicine Student’s Perspective
James Cook University Medicine Interview Day
*The information below is based on the experience of two current James Cook students who undertook interviews in 2019 (in person) and 2020 (remotely) respectively.
How does the James Cook University Medicine Interview Day work?
For the 2023 intake, it is yet to be confirmed if interviews will be in person or online.
Previously, the in-person interview took place in a private room with three panelists sitting opposite the candidate. There is a waiting room, where candidates can sit with their parents, and a few forms will need to be signed here.
After this, candidates are taken to another room with about ten candidates, and a few current students who are there to ease any nerves and make conversation. Candidates are called one by one for their interviews. The online interview in 2020 was adapted to breakout rooms on video call.
What do you have to bring for the James Cook Medicine Interview?
You should attend your interview in smart casual dress and bring some form of ID – this will be specified in your interview offer.
Does the James Cook Medicine interview require any pre-reading?
You may be asked to read some documents as part of the interview, which you will then be asked questions about. You should consider what the most important takeaways are as you are reading the text, rather than try to memorise everything.
What are the James Cook University panel examiners like?
James Cook University Medicine examiners are typically very friendly and supportive. They are not there to intimidate you and genuinely want to get to know you as a person, and your motivations for studying the course at their university.
Do the James Cook University interviewers ask a lot of follow up questions?
James Cook University Medicine examiners may ask a few follow up questions to get a bit more detail from your answer. Other than these follow up questions, the examiners will follow a predetermined list of questions.

For the 2022 intake, interviews took place between December and early January and offers were released in mid-January.
However, this may vary year to year so it’s a good idea to ask the examiners when you can expect to hear back at the end of your interview.
Top Tips for the James Cook University Medicine Interview – From a Current Student!
- Learn about Indigenous and tropical health – James Cook has a significant focus on these topics and they are looking for people who show particular interest in these topics
- Create a bank of anecdotes – it is important that you have a number of personal examples that you can draw on which demonstrate your qualities eg. leadership experiences, times in which a challenge has been overcome, weaknesses and strengths
- Practice speaking – I found it really helpful to practice phrasing these anecdotes, talking about current affairs, and having debates with family and friends to practice for the debate section
- Prepare points for and against common debating themes – e.g. euthanasia, global warming
- Reflect upon your motivation to study medicine – include your experiences and why you particularly want to study at JCU!
The JCU medicine interview process consists of two stages. The first stage is an online interview, which includes questions related to your motivation for pursuing medicine, your understanding of the JCU course, and your personal qualities. The second stage is a face-to-face interview, which assesses your communication skills, problem-solving ability, ethical awareness, and teamwork skills.
The JCU Medicine Interview typically includes questions that assess your communication skills, critical thinking, problem-solving abilities, teamwork, and motivation for pursuing medicine. You may also be asked ethical and scenario-based questions.
To prepare for the JCU medicine interview, it is important to research the JCU program and understand its values and priorities. You should also review common medical interview questions and practice answering them. It is also helpful to reflect on your personal qualities and experiences, and consider how they relate to the values and priorities of the JCU program.
In addition to the interview process, the JCU medicine program considers academic achievement, UCAT score, and personal qualities such as motivation, teamwork, and ethical awareness. The program is also focused on attracting and supporting students from rural, remote, and Indigenous communities. It is recommended that you review the JCU medicine program selection criteria and ensure that you meet the eligibility requirements.
In most cases, it is not possible to reschedule your JCU Medicine Interview. If you are unable to attend your scheduled interview, you should contact the JCU Admissions Office as soon as possible.
Graduates of the James Cook University (JCU) medical program are well-prepared for a range of medical career opportunities in Australia and internationally. Some career pathways for JCU medical graduates include:
General Practitioner (GP): Graduates of the JCU program are equipped with the skills and knowledge needed to become effective GPs, providing primary health care to patients in a variety of settings.

Roanoke College assistant professor shares insight on potential impact of U.S. debt default
SALEM, Va. (WDBJ) - U.S. elected leaders have still been unable to come to an agreement on raising the debt ceiling, continuing to create worries about a default for the first time in American history.
WDBJ7 spoke with Justin Garrison, an associate professor of political science at Roanoke College, to hear about the potential impacts a default would have.
Can you walk me through a little bit about where we are, at least up to this point?
“The latest that I’ve seen is, both of the sides are really focusing on whether or not they’re going to be able to either freeze or reduce non discretionary, non defense discretionary spending. So basically, everything you think about when you think about government, except the military, that’s a pretty small chunk of the federal budget. But they haven’t really been able to get any common ground on bigger issues like Medicare, Social Security, and so forth.”
Can you walk me through what a debt ceiling would do to specifically retirement benefits, whether it be 401k, whether it’s social security, whether it be government employees pensions?
“401k can be significantly impacted in a negative way, because of the likely significant implications for the stock market. We had really significant impacts on 401k programs during the mortgage crisis in 2008, so there are kind of indirect problems associated with even a partial default. And then, of course, when you’re looking at more immediate things, like social security, which is a type of pension program, payments could either stop, be delayed or be on time, but be reduced, which is a significant problem for people on fixed incomes.”
What are other countries’ potential trade partners thinking as they’re watching this happen?
“I think it would have a really significant impact on the future standing of the United States, politically, as well as economically. I mean, so much of the global economy is plugged in to not just the American economy in the abstract in terms of Americans having a lot of spending power and participating in the economy. But so much of the financial system throughout the world is tied to what happens in the Treasury Department and if that implodes, it wouldn’t be unreasonable for people to think about looking at other ways of protecting their own investments.”
I hear you talking about it (a debt default) being partial or complete, can you explain that to me?
“If it’s only a few days, there may be bills, the United States can’t pay for a few days, but all bills aren’t due on the first. So if you went into a default for a short period of time, it could be a significant problem, but would not be the same thing as simply like the governmental version of declaring bankruptcy, where you’re claiming, I have no capacity to pay anything for the foreseeable future. Something like that, to me, seems extremely unlikely, precisely because of the terrifying consequences of that kind of a massive problem.”
Everyday Americans and elected leaders will continue to have June 1 on their mind as leaders work to complete a deal to raise the debt ceiling.
