|"Spark" for Tibetan self-immolation unwilling to do the same|
Lorang Konchok smiled and greeted a police officer he met in a detention house in Aba, a Tibetan and Qiang autonomous prefecture of southwest China's Sichuan Province.
It's hard to imagine that such a humble monk is a murderer.
Lorang Konchok, a 40-year-old monk at the Kirti Monastery in Aba, has convinced eight people to set themselves on fire, three of whom died, since 2009, according to a police statement.
He even convinced his nephew Lorang Tashi, 24, to immolate himself. A tragedy was avoided, as Lorang Tashi's older brother Lorang Tsering, 31, also Lorang Konchok's accomplice, nixed the plan.
Lorang Konchok has spoken about the benefits of self-immolation to many youngsters, but has never thought of taking the bold action himself.
"I don't want to be the hero," he said. "I'm afraid of death. Burning is painful."
Tsenam, 19, a former monk at a village temple in Aba, was the first victim. He often borrowed classical Buddhism texts from Lorang Konchok when he studied at the Aba Kirti Monastery in 2011, when Lorang Konchok spoke to him about the benefits of self-immolation and "Tibet independence."
On March 26 this year, when Tsenam expressed a desire to self-immolate, Lorang Konchok claimed a photo of Tsenam in order to publicize his "heroic deeds." Two days later, Tsenam burned himself to death.
Jokba, 19, a herdsman from Aba, ended his life the same way on Aug. 10.
The next day, pro-Tibet independence websites reported on the incidents, referring to the deaths as a protest.
Lorang Konchok then confessed to police that he acted on the instructions of the Dalai clique.
Samtan, 31, a former monk from the Kirti Monastery in Aba and now the majordomo of another Kirti Monastery based in India, had the same master as Lorang Konchok. Samtan, as well as a man named Doran, are members of a media liaison team -- a "Tibet independence" organization established by the Dalai clique that contacted Lorang Konchok after a Kirti Monastery monk named Tapey self-immolated in February 2009.
At the request of the media liaison team, Lorang Konchok took advantage of his position and influence in the monastery and encouraged others to self-immolate, telling local monks and followers that self-immolation was not against Buddhist doctrines and that those who did it were "heroes."
A devout follower of the 14th Dalai Lama, Lorang Konchok collected the names of over 10 self-immolation executors and made a "hero list."
Lorang Konchok also promised to spread the self-immolators' deeds in foreign media so that they and their families would be acknowledged and honored.
POLITICAL AMBITION UNDER THE GUISE OF "NON-VIOLENCE"
Not satisfied with the effects of secessionist activities in the past, the Dalai clique has adopted planning and organizing self-immolations as new strategies.
The Second Special General Meeting of the Tibetan People, organized by the "Tibetan government-in-exile" in Dharamsala, India, in September, ranked self-immolation as the highest form of non-violent action.
"A special memorial hall should be built with displays of the pictures and the personal stories of each such martyr," according to the meeting's action plan and resolution.
"To commemorate the blood sacrifices made by Tibetan men and women in and outside Tibet, a day should be finalized for observing Martyr's Day each year," it said.
Believed by his devotees to be the reincarnation of a long line of tulkus who are considered to be manifestations of the bodhisattva, the Dalai Lama did not stop people from self-immolating, an act that is both inhumane and against Buddhist doctrines.
Instead, he has taken part in various prayer and memorial services for the self-immolators, demonstrating his passive approval of the deadly act.
"I am quite certain that those who sacrificed their lives with sincere motivation, for Buddha dharma and for the well-being of the people, from the Buddhist or religious view points, is positive," the Dalai Lama said in an interview with NBC in October.
Buddhism is mercy, with ahimsa, the philosophy of revering all life and not harming any living thing, as a fundamental rule. The instigators of the self-immolations have damaged believers' trust in Tibetan Buddhism.
On March 16, 2011, Phuntsog, 17, a former Kirti Monastery monk, self-immolated in downtown Aba County. Instead of trying to save the young man, Drongdru, Phuntsog's uncle, tried to keep his nephew's burned body from police.
Drongdru moved Phuntsog's body from the Kirti Monastery to a herdsman's house and then to a burial platform to help him complete his "heroic" mission.
When police found Phuntsog the next day, medical treatment was no longer an option. He died shortly after being found.
Most of the self-immolators are around 20 years old. The Dalai clique has taken advantage of their innocence and ignorance, said Xiong Kunxin, an ethnic policy expert with Minzu University of China.
The Dalai Lama uses his religious aura to allow young people to play toward his political ambitions, which is inhumane and sacrilegious, Xiong said.
"Samtan and Doran asked me to collect and send them information on the self-immolation practitioners, so they could publicize it overseas," said Lorang Konchok. "Otherwise, I would not do it."
FAMILY SHATTERED BY SELF-IMMOLATION
"Life is better than before, but he is gone. Every dinner I am heart broken, because I miss him," said Palho, father of the 19-year-old Jokba.
"I don't know if he is a hero. For me, my heart is broken," Palho said, unable to hold back his tears.
"I am already 60 years old. I thought I could depend on him for the rest of my life," he said of his youngest son.
Jokba had no schooling. He had gone to the mountains with his father to forage for herbs since he was six years old. He got along well with his peers, and he was not a bad guy, Palho said.
Jokba told Lorang Tsering in March this year that he was interested in self-immolation and asked him if he could help to send his personal information overseas. Lorang Tsering said his uncle, Lorang Konchok, could help.
On Aug. 9, Lorang Tsering encouraged Jokba to carry out the self-immolation sooner. He called his uncle in Jokba's presence, asking Lorang Konchok to help bring attention to Jokba overseas.
On the same afternoon, Jokba met Lorang Konchok in the Kirti Monastery. Lorang Konchok promised he could spread propaganda overseas. He wrote down Jokba's personal information, family background and took photos of Jokba with his cell phone.
Jokba burned himself to death the next day.
His father never knew his plan of self-immolation. "I hate the instigators," said Palho.
Khobi also could not figure out how his grandson Gepal could kill himself in such a cruel way on March 10.
"Nobody wants their sons to self-immolate. I don't know what problems they have," said Khobi.
"His parents have not made troubles for him. They have good clothing and food, how could they end their lives?" he added.
Gepal, 17, was greatly affected by some monks in the Kirti Monastery who supported "Tibet independence." He kept photos of the 14th Dalai Lama, the Kirti Living Buddha and self-immolation practitioners on his cell phone.
He gradually developed the notion that would become a hero through self-immolation. Spurred on by his peers in the monastery, Gepal burned himself in a meadow in Kaxi Village in the town of Longzang.
Song Guangjun, director of the surgical department at Aba County People's Hospital, has received dozens of victims of self-immolation.
"They are all young boys, around 16 or 17," he said. "Their skin gets thinner and rots after being burned."
The patients are not willing to talk to doctors at first, but they talk more later, Song said. "If they say they feel nervous, that means they are thirsty and want to drink. They have a strong desire to survive."
"When they leave the hospital, they thank us," he said.
"We feel also pain as doctors. Our children are the same age as them." he said. "Their lives are ruined after being burned." Endi

|Born||Nicholas Francis Ward Earls
8 October 1963
Newtownards, Northern Ireland, United Kingdom
I like to jot down ideas on the back of envelopes and to recognise the potential value in small things. I also like the freedom to think without feeling compelled to write too early. Stories are often better if we can hold back and get to know the characters and the sounds of language.
I think one of the things the writers' festival does that is very good is that it brings writers from around the world and around the country and locally and puts them all in the one spot together, and that's what a lot of the world's great writers' festivals do.
When I create a character, particularly my central character, I want someone who is interesting and feels real and who might have quite a few virtues but is unlikely to be perfect, who hasn't necessarily made all the right choices.
When I was about eight, I realised the person whose name was on the book got money for it, and it seemed almost too good to be true that you could get paid for making things up.
I want to grow up to be Tom Keneally or David Malouf: still in the game, relevant, putting out quality work, and paying tax aged 78 and 80.
E-books present the greatest opportunity readers have ever had to find each other. It's a chance for stories written for paper to find new life and a chance for new stories to appear, freed from the constraints of paper publishing.
Being a parent means my time use has to be a bit more focused, but it also gives me a new non-writing dimension to my life, which is a healthy thing. I can't wander along for weeks with an idea drifting through my head – I have someone who will drag me back into life, and that's a good thing.
I grew up in a family full of strong women. A great aunt on my mother's side had been a matron on a hospital ship in World War II, and one on my father's side had served in the Women's Royal Naval Service.
I'm happy to work until I'm 70 if I'm able to. Actually, I'm happy to keep writing as long as people keep buying my books.
One of the most interesting female characters I've written about was Meg Riddoch, the lead character in 'The Thompson Gunner'.
My maternal grandmother was the longest-lived of my grandparents. She migrated to Australia in her 80s and lived into her 90s. It was great that she got to be part of my adult life.
I got into writing because books and stories were always a big part of my life. I loved listening to them and then reading them, and I loved making them up.
Having to think so much about fictitious relationships that work or don't work, and with each relationship between characters managing to do one or other of those in its own peculiar way, I spend a lot of time thinking about relationships, real and imagined.
I wrote my first novel-length story when I was 14 but had no idea what to do with it. Brisbane was a long way from the publishing industry then. Nowhere's a long way from the publishing industry now.
You can have your own language. You can have your own dialect; you can have your own way of saying things, but if you don't actually understand the way the language fits together, it's chaos.

GLASSBORO, N.J. (CBS) - Schools in Philadelphia are closed for tomorrow's Eagles parade, but what about the rest of the region?
The answer is not a good one for most kids in South Jersey, where a quick check showed most districts plan to be open.
But there'll be no school Thursday in Glassboro, and that decision was a no brainer for Superintendent Dr. Mark Silverstein.
"We're able to celebrate not only the civic pride involved with this, but also one of the star players of the Eagles our own, homegrown star Corey Clement," Silverstein said.
"It's endemic of celebrating somebody who was undrafted, worked hard, did everything he had to and came out a star and it shows what hard work can do," he added. "That's a teachable moment for the entire district."
And they do expect Clement to pay a visit to his alma mater once all the hoopla subsides. Schools will be closed in Camden, although four schools will be open to provide meals for students who normally get them through the district. They are the H.B. Wilson, Dudley and Coopers Poynt Schools, as well as Camden High. Breakfast will be served at 8 a.m. and lunch at 11:30 a.m.
There will also be no classes in Collingswood, Oaklyn and Washington Township.
But most districts will be open, including they'll be open in Deptford, Cherry Hill, Burlington City, Cinnaminson, Haddonfield and Pitman.
That said, how many kids actually show up is another thing.

Good day from the Eldert Street Garden Association
Want to update everyone reading our blog
with the recent developments of the soon to be Eldert Street Garden.
Since March of this year the vacant and unmaintained lot at 315 Eldert Street in Bushwick Brooklyn has been handed over to the E.S.G. Association for the construction of a community
for the last two months the group of neighborhood volunteers have begun
breaking ground in hopes of establishing a kickass garden where those interested
in growing some flowers, fruits, and vegetables or just want a place to relax and socialize
can do so.
as of April 26th, Thanks to the hard work, good advice, and donations of the volunteers and supporters, the lot is truly showing some improvement.There is now a sweet looking
flower bed in the front and some donated plants (thanks Jose, Nate, AJ, and Nick)
in wooded barrels giving the lot a healthier, active appearance.
We plan to build a brick path stretching all along the left side of the garden
and so far we've managed to carve out a 3 foot by 7o foot trench to get that
path started. (thanks Senator Martin Dilan for the donation towards the tools
and materials and to those who put there backs into it.)
We also recently got our soils health test results and it turns out
the soil has LEAD. 1135 ppm to be technical. which kills my mood
but comes as little surprise. To amend this we plan to apply bio-dynamic
soil healing methods during the coming seasons.
But until then we need to be careful at the garden with children, pets,
and of course ourselves.
If you have any comments or questions about this edition of the Whats Up Newsletter
feel free to do so.
Thanks for your Time and valuable support,
Eldert Street Garden Association


However, UHF products can provide a versatile read distance; several believe there are disadvantages to the UHF RFID tag manufacturer. For a long time, people think that:
- UHF RFID Tags could not function on and in water or metal
- UHF Tags could not offer a shorter read range
- UHF RFID Tags are too large and are inappropriate for various applications where a smaller footprint is necessary
The following section is a substitute to reexamining these misunderstandings and myths about UHF Technology.
1. UHF RFID Tags Cannot Function On Or In Fluids Or Metals
It is well-proven that HF RFID tags perform reliably and accurately on fluids and metals. Though, for a while, people believe that UHF tags cannot function on and in liquids. However, the latter claim is untrue: UHF RFID tags perform equally well on liquids and metals. Ultra-high frequency Gen 2 Tags work on liquids. They work in containers to fill them with liquids. An RFID tag manufacturer demonstrated that the best UHF RFID Tag could work on containers holding liquids and liquids by reading a UHF Tag positioned inside a Gatorade bottle.
Moreover, UHF tags work on metal, but these RFID tags benefit the metal background, consuming it to increase performance. For instance, Boeing chose to recognize aircraft parts using UHF tag Technology to streamline maintenance and pre-flight examination processes. Boeing used an amount of on-metal UHF RFID tag to identify metal matters. Furthermore, RCD Technology’s Sentry Family of Asset tags stands on metal UHF Tags, intended explicitly for superior performance on various metal surfaces. In short, UHF RFID technology is flexible, and manufacturers design it to achieve the best performance essential on metal and on – or in – liquids.
2. UHF Tag Technology Does Not Deliver Contained Read Range, Essential For Item-Level Tracking
UHF Tags can offer a full spectrum of essential ranges, from near field ranges as small as one inch away to 50+ft. Read tag range is not strictly resolute by the frequency. These RFID tag inlays designed to have a shortened read tag range are as good as HF tags. The manufacturers intended antennas to have short, long, or complete read tag ranges. Unlike HF RFID Tags, UHF tags allow for flexibility in reading range; manufacturers made tags to function in various near and far-field applications.
3. UHF RFID Tags Are Too Large And Are Unsuitable For Applications Where A Smaller Footprint Is Essential
UHF RFID Tags do not have size limitations. The manufacturers design them based on a footprint. For instance, RCD Technology developed a tag with a small print to be placed on servers with limited space around 36.3mm x 10.9mm x 2.8mm. Moreover, you can find medical UHF labels as small as 9 mm in size. UHF RFID tags provide the flexibility to meet consumers’ needs, from short-range tags to tags small sufficient to fit in the cap of a vial to large tags that involve robust performance in the most extended reading tag ranges.


The White House is using the start of the Christmas shopping season to argue that Congress needs to extend the Bush-era tax cuts -- for all but the wealthiest.
A report by the White House, which says it timed the release for Cyber Monday, outlines what the White House says would be the "impact to retailers and consumer spending if Congress fails to act to avoid taxes going up on 98 percent of Americans at the end of the year."
Obama champions extending the tax cuts for everyone but those who make $250,000 or more a year. Republicans want to extend all the tax cuts.
The report says that if Congress doesn't act, "the typical middle-class family will see their taxes go up by $2,200 next year, negatively impacting businesses and retailers across the nation." And it says that as a result, "consumers could spend nearly $200 billion less than they otherwise would have in 2013 just because of higher taxes. This reduction of $200 billion is approximately four times the total amount that 226 million shoppers spent on Black Friday weekend last year."


JD Wetherspoon's profits fall as higher wages dent margins
Source - SMW
JD Wetherspoon's first-half profits fell by nearly fifth despite an uptick in sales as margins were dented by rising labour costs.
For the 6-months to 27 January, profit before tax and exceptional items fell 18.9% to £50.3m from a year ago. Revenue increased 7.1% to £889.6m and like-for-like sales rose 6.3%.
In the six weeks to 10 March 2019, the company reported even rosier like-for-like sales, which increased by 9.6%, helped by 'excellent weather this year and snow last year, and total sales increased by 10.9%.'
The fall in profit was blamed on rising costs, most of which was attributed to higher wages, which added £33.0m to overall costs.
Labour costs would creep higher in the second half of the year, compared to a year earlier, the company said.
'As previously indicated, costs in the second half of the year will be higher than those of the same period last year. The company anticipates an unchanged trading outcome for the current financial year.'
Tim Martin, the Chairman of J D Wetherspoon, and a prominent Brexiteer hit back at the majority of 'the establishment,' for what he claims was a barrage of negative forecasts about the UK prospects if it were to leave the EU without a deal.
'The result has been a barrage of negative economic forecasts from those quarters, predicting that the UK will go to hell in a handcart without a 'deal' with the EU - which will effectively tie the country into EU membership and taxation, yet without representation.'
'The doomsters ignore the most powerful nexus in economics, between democracy and prosperity - and the fact that the EU is becoming progressively less democratic, as it pursues an 'ever-closer union', for which there is no public consensus.'
'Previous referendum results on major constitutional issues have always been respected in the UK, but if parliament votes either for Theresa May's 'deal' (which keeps us in the EU by the back door) or to remain in the EU, the referendum result will not have been respected. This may well have significantly adverse economic consequences, as the country turns in on itself to endure months, or years, of stifling constitutional argument.'

Tribals in India have been badly hurt rather than being helped by India’s pursuits of development. The suffering of almost 80 million tribals in India has increased with the increase in large industrial, mining and irrigation projects, leading to massive deforestation and displacement. The fast depletion of forests due to industrialisation and SEZs has affected the life of around 533 tribes.
The annual rate of depletion of vegetation is estimated to be around 1.5 sq. kms per year. The proliferation of stone quarries and stone crushers in India’s continuing quest to exploit its natural resources to the maximum has ensured that entire landscapes, erstwhile populated by various tribes, have regularly been converted into vast areas full of pits, where nothing can be produced and cultivated. Worse, the winds carrying stone dust from these machines, apart from causing cancer and other fatal lung diseases, pollutes the air, reduces the fertility of the soil and collectively gives rise to large-scale soil erosion, effectively hitting the tribals where it hurts the hardest. Who takes the blame for such tribal tribulations? It’s the butler, stupid! The government, of course!

Amgen Inc. cut 98 workers in Fremont as it completed its more than $2 billion acquisition of Abgenix Inc. this week.
The Thousand Oaks biotech giant, which has a rapidly growing Bay Area presence, kept "substantially all of the manufacturing employees in Fremont," according to Amgen spokeswoman Mary Klem. Abgenix employed about 440 workers companywide, and 98 workers were given notices, according to the Alameda County Workforce Investment Board. Klem said the company kept all the employees at its other site in Burnaby, British Columbia.
Amgen (NASDAQ: AMGN) will keep operating the Fremont site for manufacturing, primarily for panitumumab, an experimental treatment in late-stage development for advanced colorectal cancer. Amgen had been developing panitumumab with Abgenix. The acquisition gives Amgen full control of panitumumab, an antibody-based cancer drug some analysts believe has blockbuster potential.
Abgenix shareholders approved the acquisition March 29, and Amgen said on April 3 that the deal had closed.
Abgenix is one of the East Bay's oldest and largest biotech companies. It developed the XenoMouse technology used in drug discovery.

Griffin Bell Defends Inquiry In Hutton Overdraft Scheme
By JAMES STERNGOLD, Special to the New York Times
Published: June 6, 1988
WASHINGTON, June 2— Griffin B. Bell, the former Attorney General, has been initiated into a new realm of the law: he is defending himself against a lawsuit.
It was an experience Mr. Bell clearly did not relish during his two days of appearances in Federal District Court. Mr. Bell's almost most unfailingly courteous Southern manner at times gave way to testy responses during the trial, which began Wednesday. Tying Legal Knots
Mr. Bell, who was a Federal judge before President Carter chose him as Attorney General, demonstrated the sharp intellect for which he is know by often tying his questioner into legal knots, at times to the amusement of the jury.
Because important legal issues are at stake, the case is being watched closely by other lawyers.
Mr. Bell is being sued by John M. Pearce, a former branch manager at E. F. Hutton & Company, who charged that Mr. Bell had defamed him in a 1985 investigation that Mr. Bell conducted on a check overdrafting scheme at Hutton.
Hutton pleaded guilty to the scheme in May 1985, then asked Mr. Bell to determine who was responsible for the crime after criticism that no individuals had been charged in the 2,000 felony counts. Hutton Managers Were Blamed
After a three-month investigation, Mr. Bell, who is now a partner in the Atlanta firm of King & Spalding, placed most of the blame on six Hutton branch managers. Exonerating Hutton's senior managers, Mr. Bell charged that some executives had not supervised Hutton's cash management system properly.
Mr. Pearce, who was a branch manager in St. Louis and Bethesda, Md., has claimed that he was following Hutton's policy in overdrafting the company's bank accounts and that he was unfairly singled out when the real culprits were the executives who created the policy.
The business of performing special internal investigations has turned into something of a growth industry in the legal community, as corporations seek to clear their names when there have been accusations of wrongdoing.
Because of his stature, Mr. Bell has received a number of such assignments. The fees he received from Hutton make clear why the business has grown popular among lawyers: Mr. Bell's firm was paid $2.5 million by Hutton, of which $886,570 was Mr. Bell's fee.
Most of that was shared with his partners, Mr. Bell testified, and he received $228,752 for the three-month investigation. Independence at Issue
The fees also raise the question of how independent a lawyer can be when he is in effect being paid by the people he is supposedly investigating.
Stephen Milliken, Mr. Pearce's lawyer, suggested that Mr. Bell might have been predisposed to find blame further down the corporate ladder.
While the fees for such investigations are attractive, many lawyers are concerned about the prospects of being sued.
King & Spalding received no indemnification from Hutton when it accepted the job, and thus it will have to pay the costs of defending Mr. Bell, estimated at about $500,000.
And those are the direct legal costs. They do not include the amount that Mr. Bell might be losing by not being able to practice law as he sits in the courtroom during the trial, which is expected to last about three weeks. $10 Million Judgment Sought If Mr. Bell loses the case, he will be liable for the damages assigned by the jury. In his complaint, Mr. Pearce said he was seeking $10 million.
Joel W. Sternman, a partner at Rosenman & Colin who has conducted internal investigations for companies, said the suit against Mr. Bell was a warning to lawyers to ''make sure you get indemnification'' so that investigators can operate freely. In the past, he said, he has never done that.
''This certainly could impact whether lawyers get involved in these investigations and how they will conduct themselves,'' said Theodore Levine, a partner with Wilmer, Cutler & Pickering, who has also performed internal investigations.
Thomas Puccio, a partner at Milbank, Tweed, Hadley & McCloy, which recently set up an internal investigation group, resisted the notion of seeking in advance a guarantee that the lawyer will not have to bear the costs of being sued.
''I'm not saying we wouldn't do that, but we don't generally,'' he said.
Mr. Bell wondered out loud from the witness stand on Thursday about the issues raised by the case. ''It's very confusing to the public because the company that hired you is the one you're investigating,'' he said.
''I think I am independent,'' he said. ''I think I was independent.'' Mr. Milliken responded, in an interview, ''You have to strike the word independent from the concept when you look at who pays.''

North Korea fires two short-range ballistic missiles, South Korea says
Two short-range ballistic missiles from North Korea were fired into the sea near its east coast Tuesday by South Korea’s military. This was the latest in a series of weapons tests that the South and United States are conducting as part of their largest joint military drills for years.
According to South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff, the missiles flew approximately 620 kms after being fired from South Hwanghae, a province near the country’s west coast.
According to the JCS, the South Korean military was at high alert and maintained a full readiness posture in close coordination of the United States.
Fumio Kishida, the Japanese Prime Minister, stated that Japan was gathering information about the missile and that they haven’t confirmed any damage to Japan as a result.
Hirokazu Matsuno, the Japanese chief cabinet secretary, stated that it has not been confirmed that missiles entered Japan’s territory or economic exclusive zones.
Matsuno stated that “we see there is a chance that North Korea will increase its provocative actions, such as missile launches and nuclear testing.” “We will continue to work closely with the U.S., South Korea and other countries regarding North Korea’s military actions and collect and analyse information using surveillance.”
U.S. Indo-Pacific Command stated that the recent launches were not an immediate threat to U.S. personnel, territory or allies. However, it said that the North’s illegal weapons programs had destabilizing effects.
South Korea’s military “strongly condemned North Korea,” calling repeated missile launches a grave provocation threatening the region’s security and peace. A spokesperson for the U.S. State Department called the launches a violation of numerous United Nations Security Council Resolutions.
A spokesperson for South Korea’s defense ministry stated that the alliance South Korea-U.S. will continue to train and exercise as planned, even if North Korea attempts to impede our Freedom Shield drills by launching provocations.
Two days ago, North Korea tested two strategic cruise missiles out of a submarine. This launch also comes less than a week after North Korean leader Kim Jong Un directed the military to increase drills to prevent and respond to “real war.”
On Monday, South Korean and American forces began 11 consecutive days of joint drills. They were dubbed Freedom Shield 23. The drills will be conducted on a scale never seen since 2017 in an effort to counter North Korea’s growing threats. The drills of the allies have been viewed by North Korea as an invasion rehearsal.
According to KCNA, the North Korean state media reported that the country had decided to implement “important practical” measures of war deterrence. They stated that “war provocations by the U.S.A. and South Korea have reached the red-line.”
Jake Sullivan, the U.S. National Security Adviser, stated Monday that the U.S. would not allow “any North Korean steps to deter us from taking the necessary actions to ensure stability on the Korean Peninsula.”
On Friday, the United States will host an informal meeting of members of United Nations Security Council on human rights abuses in North Korea.
The North Korean foreign ministry denounced the meeting as an “intensive expression” of U.S. hostility against Pyongyang and warned that it would take “the toughest counteraction.”

OTTAWA — The chair of a powerful Senate committee apologized Thursday to the employees of former senator Don Meredith for taking more than six years to address concerns about workplace and sexual harassment.
Sen. Sabi Marwah, chair of the Senate’s committee on internal economy, budgets and administration (CIBA) addressed former employees in a speech, acknowledging the “pain and trauma” they’ve experienced in their multi-year ordeal.
Watch his statement:
“Workplace harassment of any kind is unacceptable. It has no place in the Senate of Canada. We have heard the experience of employees in the office of former senator Don Meredith and, most importantly, we believe them.”
Marwah and one of the two vice-chairs of CIBA signed a statement to confirm that an expert independent evaluator will be hired to help determine “a financial award for employees impacted by the misconduct of Mr. Meredith.”
Meredith is no longer a senator — he resigned in May 2017 under a swirl of controversy following the revelation that he had had a sexual relationship with a teenager while in office.
Allegations of workplace and sexual harassment were reported by HuffPost Canada before his resignation.
“We did this because there’s a massive injustice that was suffered by people.”
Claudine Santos was watching Marwah’s speech. She said it was “cathartic” to hear the CIBA chair say the words, “We believe them” inside the Senate chamber.
She worked for Meredith for three months from the end of November 2013 to February 2014. She said she did not experience sexual harassment while in his office, but instead dealt with bullying and intimidation.
She said she left because she could not handle how the former senator treated people, including her co-workers.
Despite the experience, Santos continues to work on Parliament Hill as director of parliamentary affairs for Nunavut Sen. Dennis Patterson.
“I am relieved to see some forward motion on this case after six very long, heartbreaking years,” Santos said in an interview near the Senate building after the historic apology. She has previously not made her name public.
Santos said she feels responsibility to help Senate staff, who serve at the pleasure of senators, by drawing attention to the power imbalance between senators and their employees.
“I’m not in this to take a cheque and to sign a non-disclosure agreement,” she said. “We did this because there’s a massive injustice that was suffered by people.”
Santos was not consulted before the announcement of the new financial compensation process. She said she remains concerned.
“I still feel that it’s a closed-door clandestine approach to solving a very serious issue,” she said.
Santos is one of two women who testified in a closed-door meeting of the committee earlier this year. Her colleague, whose testimony has been called “true and proven” by the Senate, experienced sexual harassment.
‘Do I trust this new process? I don’t know’
The other woman agreed to speak to HuffPost on the condition of anonymity citing concerns about professional reprisal.
Her experience in Meredith’s office, including testimony of unwanted kissing and touching, was detailed in the Senate Ethics Officer’s inquiry report published last year.
She said she’s grateful to senators who have helped them get to this point.
“Have I arrived to a final destination? Not yet,” she said. “Do I trust this new process? I don’t know.”
The employee has had to repeat her experience to multiple investigators and senators in the past six years. She said she’s upset over the prospect of having to revisit and repeat traumatic experiences yet again.
“I know what it causes me when that happens. It’s not like an overnight thing,” she told HuffPost.” You know when you’re suffering from PTSD, my memory is ... ,” she stopped to collect herself.
“I’m scared that I’m going to forget. I know that I will have to relive this again.”
The Senate Ethics Officer wrote in his report that he found her testimony credible.
The new process, according to the Senate, will involve an expert independent evaluator who will interview former employees. It will be up to this outside expert to decide on an amount of financial compensation “based on recent settlements related to harassment in the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, the Canadian Armed Forces and the Department of National Defence.”
The former Meredith staffer, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said no amount of compensation will fix the trauma that she’s been put through since she first went to human resources for help in 2013.
She was discouraged from filing a formal complaint then because she was not confident the Senate’s anti-harassment policy at the time was strong enough to protect her.
The case has renewed criticism of the Senate’s ability to self-regulate, and brought new scrutiny over senators’ use of parliamentary privilege that may shield them from accountability.
Senate passes motion to release confidential report
Human resource and previous leadership in the Senate were aware in March 2014 that staff had concerns about their personal safety.
Allegations of workplace and sexual harassment were first investigated in a 2015 workplace assessment. It was never released to the public or to former Meredith staff who participated in interviews.
Parliamentary privilege was invoked over the report, forcing the Senate Ethics Office to re-interview the same employees for a new report that took four years to complete.
On Thursday evening, in a rare agreement to prioritize non-government business, senators voted to pass a motion to release the confidential workplace assessment to CIBA five years after its completion.
The report was previously inaccessible to current members of the committee.
With the newly announced evaluation process underway, Senate public relations officer Alexandra Scott-Larouche reaffirmed the two women won’t be required to testify again unless they want to present additional information.
Details in the Senate Ethics Officer’s report will be taken as proven to facilitate the speedy resolution of the claim.
It’s unclear if the independent evaluator will factor in the additional year that has been added to the process between the watchdog report and Thursday’s apology.
Even after six years, there is still no firm end date in sight for the process.
“Every effort will be made to move this process along quickly,” Scott-Larouche said. “Timelines will depend on how many former employees wish to participate as well as how many choose to present additional information.”

FAMILIES EDINBURGH MAGAZINE REVIEW
From the very beginning of this musical comedy, where Malcolm, who doesn’t really take to animals, wakes up and sings Happy Birthday to himself, our kids (age 5 and 9) were immediately engrossed.
The story, which is a stage-version of the book by David Baddiel, was brilliantly performed by an incredibly talented cast with great costumes on a brilliant stage set with lots of dramatic lighting, which added to the wonderful storyline.
All the actors, in particular Mathew Hamper who played Malcolm, put on a spectacular show which was full of lots of energetic fun and excitement.
Malcolm’s bond with his family and their love of animals, which wasn’t the same as his, was presented really well in particular during his school trip and was added to with an array of great songs, including ‘The Monkey Moment’ and some dancing too.
The kids particularly loved the funny cat and of course the apes who threw an unexpected surprise into the audience to an outburst of laughs from both adults and kids. AniMalcolm is a great show for all the family and particularly ideal for any kids wondering what it might just be like to be an animal!
Well worth a visit! 5 Stars.

Last night, I attended an excellent concert in Grand Prairie. It was a double bill of two of my favorite Islamic rock bands, the Strokes and the Eagles of Death Metal. The Strokes were outstanding, and the Eagles, while not exactly virtuosos (their moonlighting drummer’s guitar playing notwithstanding), were every bit as much fun live as I expected. In their finale, the gospel song "Speak in Tongues," they played musical chairs with three drummers and drum sets. (They used two drummers for most of the set but apparently needed a little extra oomph for the closer.)
As enjoyable as this musical celebration of Islam was, it reminded me of one of my pet peeves (no pun intended). It seems that every time I go to a show, I am surrounded by humans who are more interested in taking blurry photos with their cellphones than in enjoying the music.
This unholy behavior must be stopped, so I feel it is my duty to issue a fatwa! When you go to a concert, you are to watch the show, enjoy the music and put your cellphone camera away. Dancing is optional. I am willing to allow one photo as a memento of the event. But to spend the whole evening holding up your cellphone and trying to take a masterpiece picture is simply going too far. I see the fruits of your annoying efforts on your tiny screens; they’re no better than what you’ll find in the newspaper the next morning. Think about it for a moment: You have one of the biggest Islamic rock bands in the world performing just a few dozen feet away from you, and you’re watching it through a 1-square-inch video screen on your phone. What an utter waste of time, not to mention an annoyance for any pug who may happen to be standing behind you with your phone glowing in his face. Those infidels who dare to violate this fatwa face loss of cellphone privileges.

MOSCOW, Oct. 18 -- The Soviet publication Science and Life charged today that Prof. J. B. Rhine of Duke University and other "reactionary philosophers" were seeking to forestall or postpone the inevitable collapse of capitalism by poisoning the minds of workers.

I suddenly felt a itching sensation in my private area while going out, but due to the crowd and not daring to reach out and scratch, I had to wriggle around in the chair. Enduring itching and having to smile and find other reasons to prevaricate, such awkwardness should have been encountered by many women. Privately itching accompanied by abnormal vaginal discharge is generally a manifestation of gynecological inflammation in women with vaginal infections, and some people may continue to relapse after undergoing treatment. In response to this problem, lactic acid suppositories may be chosen as an “assistant” to improve the problem.
1. Maintain the dominant position of lactobacilli
The female vagina is a place where many bacterial communities live together, and these bacterial communities grow and reproduce independently, constraining each other to maintain balance and ensure the harmony of the female vaginal environment. One of the beneficial bacteria is Lactobacillus, which plays a crucial role in maintaining vaginal self-cleaning function and anti infection processes, and accounts for a large proportion of the vaginal microbiota. When a certain other microbiota is excessively reduced or increased, the number of lactobacilli will also be affected, resulting in an imbalance in the proportion of the microbiota, leading to vaginitis.
People like the following are easily troubled by vaginitis:
(1) Women who need to take antibiotics for a long time: Antibiotics can also eliminate beneficial bacteria during the process of “killing” bacteria, causing damage to the bacterial community environment and easily causing vaginal infections.
(2) Women after menstruation or sexual intercourse: The vaginal environment of women is weakly acidic in a healthy state, and the alkalinity of blood and sperm can easily break the weakly acidic environment of the female vagina, which is not conducive to the growth of beneficial bacteria, and the self defense function of the vagina will also decrease.
(3) Female friends who work overtime for a long time and stay up late with high mental pressure: Excessive stress can easily lead to a decrease in immunity, weakened vaginal “self-cleaning” function, and foreign bacteria “invading” can easily cause inflammation.
Therefore, female friends need to pay more attention to this sensitive and secret area, and pay more attention to their physical and mental health in daily life in order to keep it in good condition.
2. This is necessary to improve recurrent vaginal infections
If some women have already been infected with recurrent vaginal infections, there is no need to be too nervous. The following simple methods can help improve and prevent the recurrence of vaginitis:
(1) Reduce the use of antibiotics. Maintain a regular and healthy diet in daily life, set aside enough time for exercise every day, go to bed on time, and ensure sufficient sleep.
(2) Wash and change your intimate underwear frequently, and choose breathable cotton underwear when purchasing underwear.
(3) Whether it’s work or life, learn some ways to regulate emotions, such as meditation, mindfulness, etc., learn to handle difficulties in interpersonal communication, and view oneself correctly.
(4) After menstruation or sexual intercourse, lactic acid suppositories can be used to help restore a weakly acidic vaginal environment. Vagisan Huilan Lactic Acid Suppository is recommended here, with mild and safe ingredients. It can also be used by mothers with babies.
3. How to choose lactic acid suppositories
There are many different brands of lactic acid suppositories on the market, and even large brand lactic acid suppositories have many counterfeit products. The purchasing strategy can consider these aspects:
(1) Maximum safety: The private area is a very fragile area, and any product used in this area should be treated with caution. It is necessary to purchase legitimate brand lactic acid suppositories through legitimate channels and choose those that have been inspected and certified by professional institutions. Check the product ingredients to see if they are mild and if there are any allergenic ingredients.
(2) Yes or No: Before choosing lactic acid suppositories, we can first understand what components are generally contained in lactic acid suppositories? Why can these ingredients alleviate this symptom? After consulting the materials, female friends can have a reference and evaluation standard in their hearts when making purchases. After buying it, do a sensitivity test first. If there are any discomfort reactions, stop using it immediately.
(3) Humanized product design: Try to make independent packaging, small and convenient to carry lactic acid suppositories the first choice. It is not recommended to choose lactic acid suppositories that require more auxiliary tools. One reason is that cleaning aids can reduce the convenience of use, and the other reason is that improper cleaning can also pose a safety risk of bacterial infections. So, when choosing lactic acid suppositories, remember to follow the less is more principle.
I hope every female friend, whether in work or family, can cherish and cherish themselves while dedicating themselves wholeheartedly!
Vagisan Huilan originated in Germany and is committed to helping every female friend take care of their private parts. Vagisan Cymbidium Lactic Acid Suppository is a water-soluble suppository that contains natural lactic acid and is not irritating. Carry a few individually packaged Vagisan Huilan lactic acid suppositories with you when traveling or on business, which can safely and hygienic maintain personal health when going out.
Vagisan Huilan Lactic Acid Suppository does not contain hormones and can be used with peace of mind during preparation, pregnancy, or lactation. The lactic acid it contains can rapidly and persistently acidify, restore and maintain the natural pH value of the vagina, which is conducive to the growth and reproduction of lactobacilli. And it can also inhibit the growth of pathogenic bacteria, helping to form natural barriers against infection.
I believe Vagisan Huilan can accompany you and work together to maintain the health of your private area!

Edition of 50
Hand signed and numbered on the back

Geography and New Geography are the latest in Marc Quinn’s ongoing Iris series. Quinn says, “These new pieces are inspired by Ortelius’ classical idea that ‘geography is the eye of history’. It’s a fundamental truth in the world, which we are feeling now more than ever given that we are spending more time in our cities, countries and homes. I hope these editions present an optimistic worldview, that no matter how bad things are now, it will pass. New Geography is a presentation of hope for the future. The pieces are a representation of a current world and an optimistic vision for the future, and what we hope the future will be like.”

The editions are produced in and shipped from the UK.
Delivery fees and custom duties are the responsibility of the customer.
Delivery time 2-3 weeks for unframed variants and 4-5 weeks for framed variants.
The Iris paintings reflect the fact that, in the age of the internet, the visual sense dominates our perception of the world. The eye is traditionally seen as a mirror of the soul but it is also a kind of microscopic map of an individual's identity, since each person's is unique. In these works, Quinn depicts an iris at close range, in a photorealist, non-expressive way on a round canvas. The eye is enlarged so that it appears virtually abstract and the pupil appears like a aperture or hole in the centre of a fine, detailed network of colourful lines. Quinn was interested in the idea of making ‘stealth’ portraits of people, at once universal and unique, and not just an image of the sitter, but an actual visual index of their identity.
The artist observes: "The etymology of 'iris' is derived from the Greek word for 'rainbow'. And in the colours, even in quite subtle, dark colours, there is a kind of celebration of individuality." Furthermore, "in the middle you have that black hole of the pupil [and] all of the mystery and uncertainty of life. It’s a very profound expression of the ambiguity which is at the heart of our existence. "Also of interest about the eye is its position as the only internal organ you can see from the outside, as Quinn remarks: "The iris is in a way our doorway to the world, it is the window we see out of and the doorway for light to enter and interact with our nervous system. They are like a leakage of the vivid interior world of the body to the monochrome world of the skin."
In the works Map of Where You Can't See the Stars and Eye of History, Quinn has added a world map over the image of the eye. These works comment on the paranoid world we live in, and the notion of 24 hour news where the whole world is connected through ever-present media and syncopate this with notions of our eroding and changing geographical world. They present images of the world map from various perspectives – such as the Arctic – displaying how the boundaries of experience and geographical territory as we know them are rapidly changing.


The upcoming Samsung Galaxy Watch6 family is expected to offer increased battery capacities for both the standard and Classic models.
Samsung’s Galaxy Watch6 family is set to be unveiled later this year, likely in August, alongside the company’s next-gen foldables. Details about the Watch6 family have emerged from a Chinese regulatory certification listing, revealing that the new devices will have larger battery capacities than their Watch5 counterparts.
Both the Galaxy Watch6 40mm and the Galaxy Watch6 Classic 42mm will feature a 300 mAh battery, while the Galaxy Watch6 44mm and the Galaxy Watch6 Classic 46mm will have a 425 mAh battery. This is an improvement over the previous generation, which had 284 mAh and 410 mAh batteries for the 40mm and 44mm sizes, respectively.
Additionally, there are rumors that Samsung may reintroduce the rotating bezel, possibly for the Galaxy Watch6 Pro or even the Classic line. This could explain the 2mm increase in size compared to the non-Classic models.

Bayonetta is “the game we’ve always wanted to make” – Kamiya-san
Teaming up with our good friends over at Gamezine, PS3 Attitude had the opportunity to sit down and chew the fat with legendary Japanese director Hideki Kamiya.
Covering a wide range of topics from the game’s influences to Kamiya-san’s views on the afterlife, it’s the director’s comments regarding how Bayonetta compares to his other creations that piqued our interest.
Considering the designer’s impressive pedigree with titles such as the original Resident Evil and the ground-breaking Okami, his statement that Bayonetta is “the game we’ve always wanted to make” should convince the man’s many fans that we’re in for a real treat this fall.
Creator of such seminal titles as Devil May Cry, Viewtiful Joe and the aforementioned Okami, Kamiya-san and his team have been at the forefront of game design for over a decade, bending the rules of conventional design perceptions and producing some truly memorable gaming experiences. From the infectious Viewtiful Joe to the subtle beauty of Okami, Kamiya-san is known to champion the virtues of creativity, espousing the concept of clever design work over the practice of simply throwing as many polygons at the viewer as possible. Not that Kamiya-san’s games are technically inept of course.
It’s the first title in the above list however, Devil May Cry, that most people associate with the Japanese director. And with Bayonetta planned for a September release, a game that, at least ostensibly, bears more than a slight resemblance to the former action title, many are wondering just how similar Kamiya-san’s new supernatural and kinetic title is to his most famous work. And how has Dante and Kamiya-san’s past projects influenced Bayonetta in general?
PS3 Attitude: In an indirect way, Bayonetta will have an in-built fan base made up of those of us who have enjoyed some extremely popular games from you and your team in the past. Viewiful Joe, Devil May Cry, Okami. How has this impressive pedigree influenced Bayonetta – if at all?
Hideki Kamiya: All of the titles myself and the team have worked on have fed into this title to some extent. When you develop games you canâ€™t help but have each project rub off on you, and youâ€™re always looking to learn from each game youâ€™ve worked on so you can use that experience for the future. With Bayonetta weâ€™ve been enabled to make the game weâ€™ve always wanted to make, and we hope is itâ€™s the game that players will really want too.
Check back later for the full interview where we talk sexy witches, the afterlife and how architecture can influence the design of a game.

Unbroken color surfaces in red, blue, black, gray, white and yellow, but above all: grids and intersecting lines, sometimes in strictly closed, sometimes in open dynamic arrangements, characterize Schumacher’s latest works. Just as in “Narrow Passage”:
“The canvas is one by two meters in size, a light blue grid covers a white background in oil; the lines painted with a brush are neither particularly precise nor strikingly imprecise for a system of order; ‘Above’ is a graphic composition of human figures and individual body elements also gridded in blue, that are not knotted but loosely connected to one another. They drift towards each other, none of the parts touch the edge of the picture. As if a cookie cutter had been at work; as if they were saying: There is the world, and we are parts of it.“ (Lina Morawetz, All the whales in the wider deeps)
What is the relationship between us human beings and the world in times of neoliberal constraints and an omnipresent culture of communication, and how is it possible, if at all, to press this relationship into a picture through painterly gestures and graphic compositions?
If one understands the absurd, based on Albert Camus in “The Myth of Sisyphus”, as the bond that connects us human beings with the world, then it is Schumacher’s works that can perhaps make this bond tangible and visible for a moment.
Her works show our constant conflict between the essential search for meaning and hopeless meaninglessness and at the same time counter this absurdity in fearless clumsiness and in deep mistrust of human ideals, absolute self-control or absolute control of a thing.
“Although there is a form of attachment in all of Maria’s paintings, the paintings are anything but indecisive. They are inclined towards the fearless, the savage, and in their intrepidity they do not dwell on pleasantries” (Lina Morawetz, All the whales in the wider deeps)
However, one will search in vain for a clear offer of reception in Schumacher’s works. Rather, through the dynamic, multifaceted application of her very own methods, the “SYSTEMS OF EVASION”, it seems to continually elude tangibility and thus shows many parallels to the nature of our present day reality.
We are further pleased to announce Schumacher’s first comprehensive catalogue “Stoic Universe”, published by LUBOK Verlag, with a foreword by Lina Morawetz, launching at the end of the exhibition.

Last week, the Miami Herald reported on a meeting of Florida state legislators who supposedly were trying to determine the most reasonable and just way to deal with the state’s death penalty law. (Needed fixes to Florida’s death penalty law remain elusive, Feb. 10)
They included in their discussion members of families who had a loved one murdered.
This made a mockery of what was supposed to be a sincere effort to find the truth. It would have been hard to find any people less able to be objective in their thinking.
If my daughter were murdered, I would feel like personally administering a painful death to the murderer.
But, it’s possible that I might be a little biased.

One thing to consider is that if you buy a second tablet, you will find that most of the apps that you most likely like on your iPad and iPhone are either not available on Android or you need to buy them again. So looking at the iPad mini might make sense for you.
That's what I found out when I got a Kindle Fire in addition to my iPad, iPod and Kindle Keyboard. I would be using the iPad for nighttime reading, but my wife uses that one when we are both in bed. So I like the Kindle Fire a lot for nighttime reading, but I do not consider it to be a tablet (the screen is too small for web surfing, as well).
Have you looked at the Kobo Glo?
I am a total Kindle fan myself, but when I received the paperwhite, I sent it back because the screen was not as sharp as that of my Kindle Keyboard. Also, the greenish colour of the screen did not exactly turn me on. But ... I had the opportunity to handle a Kobo Glo at an airport display, and I totally loved that screen and the nice blue lighting. If that one could display Kindle books without needing to go the calibre route, I would most likely pick one up.

Its unusual shape lends this place its picturesque name: Triangular Forum. It was built on a steep lava ridge on the face of Pompeii’s hill that stretches out towards the sea and the Sarno River.
The Triangular Forum was part of a detailed urban plan carried out in the 2nd Century BC to re-arrange the theaters and temples area. An impressive monumental entrance leads into a triangular square surrounded by a 95 column colonnade opening out to an incredible view of the coast.
Because of the shape of the sacred area, the north entrance at the upper vertex of the triangle is quite small. The wall running along the colonnade forms a wide corridor: it may have been used as a running track or for horse races held during religious festivals.
In front of the main façade of the temple, an odd construction consisting of two concentric fences is situated. Their function remains unclear: they probably surrounded a grave, perhaps the burial monument of Pompeii’s founder, who was considered a hero. Three altars stand in front of the temple, on the right corner.

Public inquiry on doubling toll fee
A PUBLIC inquiry will be held in May over plans to double the fee charged to motorists crossing the Clifton Suspension Bridge.
The inquiry is to be held after the bridge's trustees proposal to increase the toll by 100 per cent from 50p to £1 were strongly opposed.
The scale of opposition to the plans has persuaded the Department for Transport to hold a hearing before it rules on the bid.
Protesters against the rise say the trust has not justified the price hike and it appears to have substantial funds in its reserves.

The Clifton Suspension Bridge Trust has justified the price increase by explaining that the extra money is needed to meet an £8 million maintenance bill over the next ten years.
But opponents say roads in Clifton will become rat runs as motorists try to avoid the charge. They also fear a price hike will place increased pressure on already congested roads around the Portway, Anchor Road and Long Ashton bypass.
The trust said regular users will still get a discounted price with a pre-paid cash card.

Saturday, 26 March 2022.
This Country is Ours Platform, the Bi-Communal Initiative for Peace, and numerous Turkish and Greek Cypriot organisations gathered in Kuğulu Park in Nicosia this morning to demand the resumption of the Cyprus negotiations and the opening of more internal border checkpoints, Yeniduzen reported.
The groups which gathered marched to the Famagusta Gate, while white balloons representing peace were launched simultaneously on both sides of the divide.
There was a strong police presence to accompany the marchers who carried placards bearing slogans such as “Peace cannot be prevented in Cyprus”, “United Independent Federal Cyprus”, “We do not want appointed trustees”, “This country is ours, let’s rule it”, “Let the doors open, negotiations begin”.
Yeniduzen reports that 109 different NGOs from the north and south were represented at the march.
President of the teachers’ union KTÖS Emel Tel, stated that there are political obstacles to the opening of new border checkpoints. He said that multiple new crossing points should be opened across the island, and that they will fight for the improvement of crossings at the existing checkpoints. He emphasised that opening new crossing points would also have the effect of connecting the two Cypriot societies. Tel concluded his statement by saying “Long live our common homeland struggle, long live Federal Cyprus“.


Nvidia's RTX 3080 is easily beating the 2080 Ti in Doom Eternal.
Hot on the heels of the RTX 3000 series reveal, Nvidia has released a five-minute gameplay demo of Doom Eternal running on a single RTX 3080.
All graphics settings have been maxed out, and the game is rendering at a native 4K resolution. The video makes it a point to compare the FPS readings of the 3080 with those produced by the RTX 2080 Ti - the current king of GPU performance. The 3080 is almost always 50% faster, allowing Doom Eternal to run at over 100 fps consistently, often north of 120fps, in fact.
This isn't some flythrough footage either, this is a full-on gameplay demo with all the carnage of a typical Doom Eternal level. It's worth emphasising that the RTX 3080, a $700 GPU, is beating the $1,200 RTX 2080 Ti.
Of the three GPUs announced this week, the RTX 3080 launches first, on September 17, followed by the 3090 ($1,500) on September 24, and the 3070 ($500) in October.
