The Spider-Man Zero Skin is the latest version of the superhero’s costume in Fortnite. Players can unlock it in Chapter 3 Season 3 of the game. There are already a few different Spider-Man outfits in the popular battle royale game. These include the standard version, the outfit from Marvel Studio’s Spider-Man: No Way Home, and a few more. The Spider-Man Zero suit is the well-known character’s outfit from the comic book series Fortnite x Marvel: Zero War, which came out today, June 8, 2022.
Fortnite has had Marvel superhero and villain skins for a long time, and the two franchises have worked together to make different in-game events. As both Marvel and Fortnite continue to grow in popularity, the Zero War series is a great example of how far this working relationship has come. The first item added to the game is the spider-man zero skin. Others will include a Wolverine pickaxe, an Iron Man wrap, and more.
HOW TO GET SPIDER-MAN ZERO SKIN IN FORTNITE?
Players who want the Spider-Man Zero Skin and the other five rewards can get them by signing up for Marvel Unlimited through the Marvel Comics app. If someone buys and reads all five issues before October 28, 2022, they won’t get a code right away, but they will get an email with codes for each item. On Sept. 28, this year, the last comic in the Fortnite x Marvel: Zero War series will come out.
Owners of comic books will get new issues because of the addition of new items. At some point, you’ll be able to buy the Spider-Man Zero Skin with V-Bucks from the item shop. But Epic Games hasn’t said exactly when that will be. But since the skin is a one-of-a-kind item that can only be bought with a comic book. It’s likely that players will have to wait a few months before they can wear it in the game.
The Only way to get the spider-man marvel skin in Fortnite.
For now, the only way to get the Spider-Man Zero Skin. It is to buy a hard copy of Fortnite x Marvel: Zero War issue #1. Those who bought this first edition will get a code that can be used in the Fortnite section of the Epic Games Store to get something. In Fortnite, you can’t spend Battle Stars to get the Spider-Man Zero Skin like you can with the Darth Vader Skin. Players who didn’t buy the physical copy of the comic will be able to get the outfit at a later date, which is unknown at this time.
I hope you get full-stack information about the Spider-Man Zero skin. I will hit you if get any other information about the spider-man zero skin.

Although reduced cortisol reactivity to stress and increased circulating testosterone level are hypothesized to be associated with higher levels of externalizing behavior, empirical findings are inconsistent. One factor that may account for the heterogeneity in these relationships is prenatal testosterone exposure. This study examined whether the second-to-fourth digit ratio (2D:4D), a putative marker of prenatal testosterone exposure, moderates the relationships of testosterone and cortisol reactivity with externalizing behavior. Left and right hand 2D:4D and self-reported externalizing behavior were measured in a sample of 353 young adolescents (M age=11.92 years; 178 females; 79.7% African American). Saliva samples were collected before and after a stress task and later assayed for cortisol. Testosterone levels were determined from an AM saliva sample. 2D:4D interacted with cortisol reactivity to predict externalizing behavior in males, but not females. In males, low cortisol reactivity was associated with higher levels of aggression and rule-breaking behavior, but only among subjects with low 2D:4D (i.e., high prenatal testosterone). Findings suggest the importance of a multi-systems approach in which interactions between multiple hormones are taken into account. Furthermore, results demonstrate the importance of considering the organizational influence of prenatal testosterone in order to understand the activational influence of circulating hormones during adolescence.

It was ironic that the notice of termination from Mayor Sharon Robinson-Briggs to City Administrator Bibi Taylor was served exactly one month prior to the birthday of the late Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., a man who spent most of his life fighting for peace and justice for all. It is also worthy to note that the termination was to take effect on the date that a new King was born, the Prince of Peace.
Thus the decision of my colleagues last night proved, in the words of Dr. King, that no lie can live forever, and that truth crushed to earth will rise again. King also said that the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice.
I believe that justice was served last night and that the best interest of Plainfield was weighed in the balance and preserved. I applaud my colleagues, members of the public, and everyone who had a hand in turning a wrong on its head so that justice could stand erect and be dispensed for all of to see.
The unanimous vote of the council to reverse Mayor Robinson-Briggs’s ill-informed decision again evokes Dr. King's admonition that "...injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere." It also reminds those who have faith and believe that the King who was born on Christmas day was the Prince of Peace, not Ebenezer Scrooge, and that the wise men brought gifts, not a pink slip.

A woman was taken to a local hospital for treatment of her injuries after a crash that happened recently on an Oregon roadway. The car accident took place on weekend morning in Yamhill County on Oregon 47. Now, local officials are working to determine the exact details of the crash.
Early reports indicate that, at the time of the incident, a car was stopped on the roadway waiting to make a left turn. The vehicle driven by the driver who is thought to be at fault failed to stop in time as he approached the halted car. His efforts to stop his car caused him to lose control.
He veered into the on-coming lane, striking another car. The driver of that car suffered injury that resulted in her transport to a local hospital. The degree of severity of her injuries was unclear, though they were thought to be non-life threatening.
The driver of the vehicle that caused the car accident now faces potential criminal charges. In addition, he may find that he is liable under Oregon personal injury laws for the damages caused by his actions. This liability could include a claim from the injured victim for the costs associated with the crash. Though not every accident case leads to such a claim, in many instances, those that suffer due to the actions or negligence of another driver find that they have significant financial costs that must be paid by those who caused the damage. Personal injury laws are made to help such individuals.

Eastern Freeway crash – remembering Constable Josh Prestney
An illuminating gesture in honour of fallen police will lift heavy hearts this Christmas.
The families of officers who have died in the line of duty will be helped through with a gift of more than $250,000.
Hardware chain Bunnings is donating the money — raising through the sale of Christmas lights — to police legacy charities nationwide.
The store has reported a spike in sales in Christmas lights, particularly solar lighting, festoon lighting and light statues, as locked down Victorians swing into the festive spirit.
Victoria Police Legacy chief executive officer Lex de Man said its share of the donation would be directed to supporting the children of fallen officers, including giving each a Christmas gift.

Statewide 190 children aged under 22 who have lost a parent who served in the force will receive assistance. Thirty five were aged under 10 — the youngest just 18 months old.
“That money will go to supporting those families and our young police legatees who have lost a mum or a dad — not only helping them through Christmas but into the New Year,’’ Mr de Man said.
“It’s a very hard time for them.”
Bunnings chief operating officer Debbie Poole, whose chain donated $40,000 to Victoria Police Legacy in April for the families of four officers killed on the Eastern Freeway, said its stores worked closely with police in helping prevent crime and improve safety.
“We are grateful for the difficult and dangerous work the police do to keep our communities safe so it’s a great honour to support their amazing work,’’ Ms Poole said.
“We look forward to strengthening our support for years to come.”
Police couple Emma Delbridge and Michael Putson, with children Ben and Penny, began straightening out their Christmas lights this week as the festive countdown begins.

When a doctor or family member recommends someone seek counseling, the recommendation is often dismissed because it seems logistically impossible. Many people struggle with how to fit a therapy routine into their hectic life due to a number of factors that get in the way. But online therapy can reduce the stress of seeking treatment!
Common Barriers to Seeking Therapy and Counseling
Child Care Dilemmas
For busy parents of small children, the thought of finding child-care every week to cover the times it takes to drive to a clinic, spend an hour in therapy, and then drive back home may feel more overwhelming than just continuing to deal with feeling depressed.
Long Work Weeks
Figuring out how to schedule routine therapy appointments while working 50 to 60 hours per week and possibly traveling for work as well may create its own panicky feeling.
Travel and Transportation Issues
Even if you have the time to come to appointments, what if you don’t have access to transportation to get there or would need to drive an hour or two each way?
A Easier Path to Therapy and Counseling
As a new mother returning to the workforce, I decided to begin providing online therapy to better accommodate my schedule and my family’s needs. Since I started, I have become more and more convinced that, just like online therapy made work easier for me, it makes accessing counseling services more manageable for many people.
Online therapy eliminates many of the barriers that keep people from seeking counseling and therapy. Whether you stay home with kids, work 12 hours a day, don’t have transportation, would have to drive quite a distance, or simply feel uncomfortable with the thought of going to a therapist’s office, online therapy is an avenue you may want to utilize to obtain the services that could be helpful to you.
All you need to take part in online therapy is:
- A smartphone, tablet or any other device that allows you to download an app OR a computer with a webcam,
- Access to the internet,
- A private place you can go where you can talk and not be interrupted.
If you have these three things, you have everything you need to participate. So, no more excuses! Your health and wellbeing is worth it! Online therapy can help you reach your personal goals from the convenience of your home, work or even parked car.

Pine Rest has over 70 licensed therapists trained to provide online therapy. Our website provides information about how online therapy works, what to expect and information about the therapists like me who provide it.

IPOH: India's hockey coach ripped into his squad Friday over its pummelling by New Zealand a day before, saying much work remained before the former power was ready for the London Games.
Australian Michael Nobbs had especially harsh words for his defence, calling it “awful” for leaking what he called easy goals by the Black Sticks on the first day of the Sultan Azlan Shah Cup in Malaysia.
“We were really bad at the back. Everything we talked about and practised in training was forgotten,” Nobbs told reporters in the northern Malaysian city of Ipoh, site of the annual hockey tournament.
The seven-team tournament which also includes Great Britain, Pakistan, Argentina, South Korea and Malaysia is an important last chance for teams to tune up and hone line-ups before the Olympics in July.
India dominated Olympic hockey from the 1920s to the 1950s. A recent run of good form has raised hopes of a strong result in London, with much of the credit going to Nobbs.
But Nobbs said the team went back to “our old style of play” against the Kiwis, accusing defenders of letting their marks get away, and singling out Rupinder Pal Singh and V. Raghunath.
Nobbs said the side, ranked 10th in the world, must figure out how to raise its game against better teams like fourth-ranked Great Britain and seventh-ranked New Zealand if they want a good showing at the Olympics.
“We seemed to have problems with teams like Great Britain and New Zealand and need to close the gap playing them,” said Nobbs.
“Indian hockey needs to play catch-up and start defeating these teams in order for us to move up the rankings.”
Nobbs spoke as the team was readying for its second match late on Friday against the sixth-ranked South Koreans.
“The Koreans will be another tough opponent but one that we can defeat. It all boils down to how the players handle the pressure,” he said, adding he was optimistic the team would bounce back in coming games.
Nobbs further warned his players that the Sultan Azlan Shah Cup, which runs to June 3, was a chance for him to determine who was worthy of a ticket to London.

Entrepreneurship is all about finding opportunities, converting them into a business, and taking risks while doing so. While many entrepreneurs find their motivation in money, challenges, creativity, or ego, some do find their motivation in solving the social problems a society might have.
Such special entrepreneurs are social entrepreneurs.
But what is social entrepreneurship, and what’s so social about it?
Who Is A Social Entrepreneur?
A social entrepreneur is an innovative initiator who decides to build a business dedicated to solving social, cultural, or environmental issues, taking on greater than normal financial risks in order to do so.
Precisely, social entrepreneurship, also referred to as altruistic entrepreneurship, is the practice of doing business aimed at resolving social market failures and creating opportunities to add social value systematically.
In simple terms, it involves running a business with an aim to benefit society rather than merely maximising individual profits.
According to experts, social entrepreneurship is a type of entrepreneurship where entrepreneurs:
- Combine commerce with a social issue; like what Elon Musk did by building accessible solutions to renewable energy with his ventures – SpaceX and Tesla,
- Innovate for social impact; like Tom Szaky who made it possible to recycle anything with his venture Terracycle,
- Act as a catalyst for social impact; like Greta Thunberg, who made the world realise the importance of taking immediate action against climate change.
But unlike what most people think, social entrepreneurs’ businesses are not always not-for-profit. They can be for-profit while prioritising positive social impact.
Social Entrepreneurship vs Commercial Entrepreneurship
Social entrepreneurship differs from commercial entrepreneurship on a fundamental level. The purpose behind social entrepreneurship is to create social value for the public good. In contrast, commercial entrepreneurship focuses just on creating profitable operations resulting in a private gain or economic value.
In simple terms, social entrepreneurship is mission-driven while commercial entrepreneurship is market-driven.
The outcome of social entrepreneurship is measured in terms of value created for society, which is often intangible. However, commercial entrepreneurship measures success in monetary and tangible terms.
Generally, a problem for the commercial entrepreneur is an opportunity for the social entrepreneur.
Characteristics Of Social Entrepreneurs
Social entrepreneurs possess characteristics similar to usual entrepreneurs but prioritise social impact and development more than other entrepreneurship motivations. Some traits that social entrepreneurs possess are:
- Deep Empathy: Social entrepreneurs have deep empathy for social issues that requires a solution. They find this empathy as their motivation to convert the problem into a business opportunity and fix what’s wrong with society.
- Cooperative Strategy: Generally, social entrepreneurs employ cooperative strategies rather than competitive owing to their social mission of entrepreneurs, poor working capital and market orientation.
- Social Commitment: Social entrepreneurs are committed to serving society at large. They believe in making a change while earning money to support the change.
- Innovative Mindset: Such entrepreneurs come up with innovative ideas that help to solve a social problem better.
- Changemaker Attitude: Altruistic entrepreneurs are real changemakers who change the way people do things or look at social problems.
- Future Orientation: These entrepreneurs believe the future is in our hands and take steps to develop a better future for society.
- Decisiveness: Social entrepreneurs are firm with their decisions to bring a social change with their solutions. This decisiveness helps them convince the world to agree to their point of view.
- Pragmatism: Data and facts drive these entrepreneurs. They are practical humans who make the world give attention to what deserves the most.
- Persistence: Social entrepreneurship isn’t easy. Such entrepreneurs have to compete with money-motivated entrepreneurs and have to be persistent to win over them.
- Risk Tolerance: Entrepreneurship comes with its own set of risks. Adding a social aspect to it add to more risks to the journey of a social entrepreneur.
- Market Failure: Usually, social entrepreneurship rises when there is a social-market failure, i.e., the commercial market forces do not fulfil a social need.
Types of Social Entrepreneurship
Social entrepreneurship isn’t a one-size-fits-all practice. It’s an umbrella term that constitutes different types of businesses that have a social impact in one way or the other.
According to research, social entrepreneurship can be categorised into three types. These are:
- Social Bricoleur
- Social Constructionists
- Social Engineers
This is a highly localised social entrepreneurship where the entrepreneur addresses local concerns, partly driven by first-hand exposure to problems. For example, an entrepreneur developing solutions to solve the dirty drinking water problem in his city.
Such social entrepreneurship is scattered throughout the world but is highly local and is often characterised by limited resource pool and a local, tacit (domain-specific) mission.
Social Constructionists identify social gaps and convert them into opportunities by being more alert than others.
Such entrepreneurs have a broader market focus and focus on a problem as a whole, more than just a local concern. They look for developing an application for a local concern, that is expandable to solve problems occurring in different contexts and geographies.
Unlike social bricoleur, this entrepreneurship is resource-driven and is scalable. It focuses on developing a solution that’s applicable even in other countries.
An example of such entrepreneurship is Robinhood Army in India. The organisation aims to solve the problem of hunger and education among children who can’t afford the same. Started as a local mission, the solution has now found its application in other Asian countries.
Social engineers are the entrepreneurs with the most resources who deconstruct and reconstruct society’s engines to achieve broader social aims. They challenge existing institutions’ current solutions and aim to reconstruct the system to solve such problems.
These entrepreneurs focus on large-scale issues with mass appeal in various settings and understood by people. But they come up with a solution that’s less self-evident.
Such entrepreneurs require substantial capital, often political capital, to develop a solution to the masses’ legitimate problem.
An example of such a social engineer is Muhammad Yunus. He is a Bangladeshi social entrepreneur who put efforts to solve the country-wide problem of poverty in Bangladesh. He didn’t work on a solution that would work from community-to-community. Instead, He brought in the concept of Grameen Bank and microcredit and microfinance to the country to tackle the issues of prejudice against women in the lending system, corruption within the lending system, and cronyism.
Benefits Of Social Entrepreneurship
Social entrepreneurs drive social transformations and bring a positive impact on the world. Social entrepreneurship benefits the world as it:
- Implements A Societal Change: Social entrepreneurship results in bringing a social change in the world for good.
- Enhances Quality Of Life: It improves the quality of life by solving social, cultural, and environmental problems.
- Is A Positivity Magnet: Social entrepreneurship is a light of hope that makes people believe that not all businesses are money-centric.
- Earned Support: Such organisations get support from customers, government, and society and even prove to be a better business than certain commercial organisations.
Social Entrepreneurship Examples
When it comes to social entrepreneurship, people often confuse commercial entrepreneurs who do some social good with actual social entrepreneurs. But not all big entrepreneurs are socially inclined.
Here’s a list of some famous social entrepreneurs who made the world recognise their work:
Bill is the one who brought, defined, and promoted the term social entrepreneurship to the masses. He is the founder of Ashoka: Innovators for the Public, an organisation dedicated to finding and helping social entrepreneurs worldwide.
The organisation has sponsored over 2,100 fellows in 73 different countries till now.
Muhammad Yunus brought a social revolution in Bangladesh by targeting and working on solving the problem of poverty in the country.
He founded Grameen Bank, propagating microcredit and microfinance concepts, and providing such loans to entrepreneurs too poor to qualify for traditional bank loans.
He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for the same.
One of the richest men on earth, Elon Musk, brought a social revolution in the automobile industry by developing electric cars under his brand Tesla. The brand also caters to the solar power market and aims to solve other social problems like fossil fuel consumption and pollution.
Scott Harrison is the founder and the brains behind a nonprofit organisation charity:water. His main aim is to address the global water crisis issue and help people living without access to clean water.
Even though he started as a commercial entrepreneur, Bill Gates soon shifted his focus to social entrepreneurship and founded the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. This foundation works with an aim to enhance healthcare and reduce extreme poverty across the globe.
It’s the largest private foundation in the world holding $46.8 billion in assets, controlled by its three trustees: Bill Gates, Melinda Gates, and Warren Buffett.

In an oped in Saturday's New York Times (To Save the Planet, Don't Plant Trees), Nadine Unger argues that reducing deforestation and planting trees won't help fix climate change but will rather make it worse. One might ask how the 2,000-plus scientists and experts on Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPPC) got this one wrong – they found tropical deforestation a major source that must be reduced to control climate change – but in fact it's Unger who's way out on a limb here.
When trees grow, they absorb carbon dioxide (CO₂) from the atmosphere and store it as carbon in their trunks, branches, leaves and roots. When people cut the trees down and burn them to clear forest for cattle pasture or crops, as they have at a rate of 13 million hectares of forest per year in the tropics over the last decade, this releases CO₂ back into the atmosphere.
Unger argues that forests absorb more sunlight than crops or grassland, which reflect more sunlight back into space and cool the earth. But that's not true in the tropics. In tropical forests like the Amazon, where deforestation is happening and thus where the Climate Summit's attention is focused, trees take up water from rainfall and evaporate it through their leaves, and create cloud cover. These clouds reflect even more sunlight than grasslands or bare earth, thus cooling the earth more. This is why large-scale deforestation disrupts rainfall regimes – and why deforestation in the Amazon, if unchecked, may reduce rainfall in California.
Emissions from tropical deforestation are, from the perspective of the atmosphere, just the same as emissions from burning fossil fuels – carbon that was wood, coal, oil or gas is turned into CO₂ and released to the atmosphere. In a living forest, trees do die and, over time release CO₂ to the atmosphere. But then new trees grow, and absorb that CO₂ again – not the case when forests that have stored carbon for centuries are replaced by grass to feed cattle or oil palm plantations.
Contrary to Unger’s claims, the "high risk" is to ignore the 200 billion tons of at-risk carbon stocks in the world’s tropical forests. In fact, as the IPCC has concluded, stopping tropical deforestation is a critical priority for controlling climate change.

With regards to the round of Poker, each poker player is knowledgeable about the Poker Tools/Software. Online Poker is no more a fortunes or aptitude diversion, now poker recreations have transformed into war of poker devices. Each poker player needs to arm him/herself with best poker programming keeping in mind the end goal to remain in front of the rivals. Poker programming is a device that is utilized for online poker amusement. Players utilize the poker device for their various favourable circumstances like knowing the adversary hand’s history, the quality and shortcoming of a specific table and so on and so forth.
Today, poker programming like pot chances apparatuses for domino qiu motopoker, adding machines, stalking instruments and general following devices have brought an entire new measurement for online poker diversion.

The cerebrum of a person is equipped for putting away a specific measure of learning at once. Additionally the exactness of all the assembled data turns out to be less precise as and when feelings emerge. This is the motivation behind why the most players who play the amusement ‘texas holdem’ play actually oblivious when they don’t utilize the poker programming/devices.

I remember the tragedy of Columbine. It has been seared into my memory clear as day. I remember the sadness I felt for the victims and the parents of the perpetrators. To all who sit and judge, remember this could happen to you.
The Klebold's were blamed for the actions of their child and expected to have answers for why their son, helped to commit this atrocity. The answers to these questions died with those two young men who, themselves might not have even known.
Sue is candid and open about how difficult it was for her to fully accept that her son was not who she thought he was -- that he was a killer. Sue gives us a sobering look into the lives of those we love and how little we actually know about them.
There are no revelations or answers in this book. This book is about a mother coming to terms with what her son did and opening up to the public.
She will be judged critically because everyone makes the assumption that she could of, should have done more, or that they would have known. To those who sit and judge I ask you to reflect back into your life .... as a teen (and even know) and what you didn't let your family know about it. We need to stop putting blame on others and place it on those who are responsible.

text: Previously, we have shown that flies under-expressing the two mitochondrial peroxiredoxins (Prxs), dPrx3 and dPrx5, display increases in tissue-specific apoptosis and dramatically shortened life span, associated with a redox crisis, manifested as changes in GSH:GSSG and accumulation of protein mixed disulfides. To identify specific pathways responsible for the observed biological effects, we performed a transcriptome analysis. Functional clustering revealed a prominent group enriched for immunity-related genes, including a considerable number of NF-kB-dependent antimicrobial peptides (AMP) that are up-regulated in the Prx double mutant. Using qRT-PCR analysis we determined that the age-dependent changes in AMP levels in mutant flies were similar to those observed in controls when scaled to percentage of life span. To further clarify the role of Prx-dependent mitochondrial signaling, we expressed different forms of dPrx5, which unlike the uniquely mitochondrial dPrx3 is found in multiple subcellular compartments, including mitochondrion, nucleus and cytosol. Ectopic expression of dPrx5 in mitochondria but not nucleus or cytosol partially extended longevity under normal or oxidative stress conditions while complete restoration of life span occurred when all three forms of dPrx5 were expressed from the wild type dPrx5 transgene. When dPrx5 was expressed in mitochondria or in all three compartments, it substantially delayed the development of hyperactive immunity while expression of cytosolic or nuclear forms had no effect on the immune phenotype. The data suggest a critical role of mitochondria in development of chronic activation of the immune response triggered by impaired redox control.

Outsourcers Mitie and Interserve in advanced merger talks
June 24, 2020
Two of Britain’s biggest government outsourcers are locked in talks about a merger of their support services arms that would create a business employing more than 80,000 people in the UK.
Sky News can exclusively reveal that Mitie is in advanced discussions to buy Interserve’s facilities management arm for more than £250m.
A deal could be announced as soon as Thursday, when Mitie is scheduled to announce its full-year results.
City sources said Mitie was expected to launch a £200m rights issue to help fund the deal and strengthen the balance sheet of the combined group.
They cautioned, however, that a deal had yet to be formally signed and could still fall apart.
If confirmed, the combination of Mitie and Interserve’s support services businesses would create the largest such operation in Britain, with over £3.5bn of revenue.
A deal would fortify Mitie’s finances during a period of intense scrutiny of the government’s reliance on private sector contractors to deliver essential public services during the coronavirus pandemic.
Both Mitie and Interserve have been closely involved with the NHS Nightingale hospitals commissioned by ministers to assist the health service.
Mitie has been hired to run 11 COVID-19 drive-through testing centres, with Interserve also winning an assortment of government contracts to help deal with the pandemic’s impact.

Deputy-elect says he’s ‘armed, drunk and with cash’
Santo Domingo.- Opposition PRM party deputy-elect EliasBaez on Monday said he’s "armed, drunk and with cash," in a message witha photo of two guns and two bottles of a high price whisky.
The statement in the social networks was criticized becauseit promotes the use of alcohol and guns, while supporters say that the weaponsare needed because crime hasn’t stopped.
"It’s that this government has us that way, armed tothe teeth so that they don’t mug us, as they say, are drunk and with cash,"said the elected lawmaker from Santo Domingo West.
A few days ago Baez, a former prosecutor also published asafety video where, he affirms, two robbers are seen breaking one of a car’swindows to steal his daughter’s purse.


The U.S. is "prepared" to execute a preemptive first strike against North Korea, using conventional weapons, "should officials become convinced that North Korea is about to follow through with a nuclear weapons test," several anonymous U.S. intelligence officials told NBC News this evening.
The sabre-rattling comes amid concerns by international observers that Pyongyang is aggressively pursuing new nuclear tests. On Wednesday, the New York Times reported that satellite images reviewed by military analysts suggested North Korea is working to complete its sixth nuclear test.
According to 38 North, a North Korea research group based at Johns Hopkins University, the satellite photos also reveal "high levels of activity" at tunnels beneath the Punggye-ri nuclear site, where the nation's military has carried out previous tests.
In recent weeks, the Pentagon has deployed WC-135 Constant Phoenix "nuke-sniffer" aircraft to military installations in Japan to monitor for nuclear activity across the region, Newsweek reports.
The suspected test could come as soon as this Saturday, the 105th birthday of Kim Il-Sung, the nation's late founder and grandfather of the current leader, Kim Jong-Un. Previous reports suggested that Kim planned on carrying out his next missile launch to coincide with the culturally significant day.
Given the increasing number of long-range missile tests carried out in recent weeks by Pyongyang, the Pentagon is taking the prospect of a successful nuclear test very seriously, according to NBC News:
The intelligence officials told NBC News that the U.S. has positioned two destroyers capable of shooting Tomahawk cruise missiles in the region, one just 300 miles from the North Korean nuclear test site.
American heavy bombers are also positioned in Guam to attack North Korea should it be necessary, and earlier this week, the Pentagon announced that the USS Carl Vinson aircraft carrier strike group was being diverted to the area.
The U.S. strike could include missiles and bombs, cyber and special operations on the ground.
The mention of special forces on the ground in North Korea is particularly provocative. Last month, South Korean media reported that Navy SEALs — namely "Seal Team 6," known for executing the raid that killed Osama bin Laden — were preparing for a "decapitation attack" to neutralize North Korean's military and political leadership (The Pentagon denied the report).
The news also comes following the use of the GBU-43 Massive Ordnance Air Blast bomb, one of the largest non-nuclear bombs in the U.S. arsenal, by the Air Force against an ISIS target in Afghanistan — the munition's first use in a conflict.
But on Thursday, North Korean officials warned in a statement of a "merciless retaliatory strike" should the White House take any military actions against the rogue state, NBC News reported.
"By relentlessly bringing in a number of strategic nuclear assets to the Korean peninsula," the statement said, "the U.S. is gravely threatening the peace and safety and driving the situation to the brink of a nuclear war."

If you grew up around cars and car lovers, you probably hung out at some local parking lot in the evening on designated nights, where people would drive their modified cars to show off, compare, and exchange mechanical secrets.
In some cases, perhaps these meet-ups would lead to drag racing. Because drag racing is more often than not frowned upon by the local authorities, not to mention residents, comparing car performances should be left to talking shop and matching stats.
What do we talk about when we talk about a car's performance? One of the most common numbers people will offer as proof of their engine's power is horsepower. Another figure is a car's zero to sixty time. These two above figures do give an indication of car's ability for speed.
But what is left out of the equation is that these figures are only one hundred per cent reliable if one is assuming that the roads being driven on are completely flat, smooth and straight. This is never the case in real life, where roads are never one hundred per cent even.
Taking into consideration turns, irregularities, bumps and slopes, one must add the car's suspension into the mix to get an overall idea of its performance. Skilled auto mechanics will tell you that without a good suspension, horsepower and zero to sixty are worthless. Here is a breakdown of these three factors:
As stated above, suspension is what allows a car to run smoothly over any type of road surface. The suspension helps the tires remain smoothly on the road in any condition. It absorbs the shock from bumps, keeping the wheels from hitting the frame. It also shifts the weight of the car so that all four wheels remain firmly on the road during fast acceleration, braking, and sharp turns.
This is the power of the engine, which is why it is one of the most popular figures to define a car's performance. It is how much work the engine can do within a specific time. The term comes from the old statistic that it takes one full minute for a single horse to pull 33,000 pounds the distance of one foot.
Zero To Sixty
The proper term for this is the car's acceleration, meaning how much time it takes for a car to reach 60 miles (or 100 kilometers) from a still position. This figure is a little more practical than pure horsepower because it is not simply an engine statistic. But there are many factors that can affect the acceleration, like tire pressure, road conditions, and driver's abilities.
For anyone interested in cars beyond the regular local parking lot meet-ups, understanding suspension, horsepower and acceleration are all an important first step to really knowing what one is talking about regarding performance. If one wants to pursue an automotive career in either servicing or modifying cars, it is fundamental to understand the relationship between these factors for guaranteeing the smoothest and best ride.


HELSINKI — China has carried out its sixty fourth and ultimate launch of the 12 months, sending the Shiyan-10 (02) into orbit from Xichang spaceport.
A Lengthy March 3B rocket lifted off from Xichang Satellite tv for pc Launch Heart in southwest China at 11:43 p.m. Jap Dec. 28, carrying Shiyan-10 (02). The China Aerospace Science and Expertise Corp. (CASC), confirmed launch success shortly after.
The aim of the satellites was not revealed. Shiyan sequence satellites are sometimes labeled and understood for use to check new applied sciences and payloads for Chinese language area programs. State media Xinhua stated the brand new satellite tv for pc might be “used for in-orbit verification of latest area applied sciences, reminiscent of area surroundings monitoring.”
The Shiyan-10 (02) is a labeled spacecraft which may very well be despatched to affix the sooner Shiyan-10 satellite tv for pc in a highly-elliptical Molniya orbit to supply better operational protection of the northern hemisphere.
The primary Shiyan-10 satellite tv for pc launch from Xichang Satellite tv for pc Launch Heart Sept. 27, 2021. It was initially reported by CASC to be stranded in switch orbit.
It was later picked up in a extremely elliptical 1,880 by 38,881 kilometer altitude orbit with an inclination of 63.6 levels, having effected a big alteration to its earlier orbital inclination, placing it right into a Molniya orbit.
Such orbits—the extremely elliptical nature of which implies spacecraft spend most of their roughly 12-hour orbital interval seen over the northern hemisphere—are used for communications, distant sensing or missile early warning programs, local weather and climate monitoring, early warning programs and different functions reminiscent of alerts intelligence.
The brand new satellite tv for pc may very well be despatched into the same orbit to the primary satellite tv for pc, however with a distinct proper ascension of the ascending node to supply better protection over the northern hemisphere.
When the spacecraft is close to its apogee over the northern hemisphere, it can seem to maneuver slowly over the Earth beneath. This makes the orbit helpful for offering communications between two websites within the northern hemisphere or monitoring for early warning. Fixed companies will be offered by inserting three satellites in comparable Molniya orbits, every offering hyperlinks for a number of hours every day.
China operates its China Distant Sensing Satellite tv for pc North Polar Floor Station, which is positioned in Kiruna, northern Sweden, which might be seen to the Shiyan-10 satellites for lengthy intervals close to its apogee.
The mission adopted the Dec. 27 launch of the Gaofen-11 (04) Earth statement satellite tv for pc from Taiyuan Satellite tv for pc Launch Heart in north China utilizing a Lengthy March 4B rocket. Earlier experiences point out these satellites belong to a labeled phase of China’s Gaofen sequence, with the aptitude to return optical imagery at a decision of around 10 centimeters.
The Shiyan-10 (02) launch was China’s sixty fourth of 2022. This meant the nation has far surpassed its earlier nationwide document for a calendar 12 months of 55, set in 2021. 53 of the 2022 launches have been Lengthy March rocket launches carried out by CASC, all of which have been profitable. These included six missions to the now-completed Tiangong area station, a 22-satellite mission utilizing the Lengthy March 8 and a primary launch of the Long March 6A, a primary liquid core-solid booster combo for CASC and China.
Expace, China Rocket and CAS Space—spinoffs from CASIC, CASC and the Chinese language Academy of Sciences respectively—and personal outfits Galactic Energy, iSpace and Landspace accounted for the opposite launches. The launches of iSpace’s Hyperbola-1 strong rocket and Landspace’s milestone Zhuque-2 methalox launcher represented the 2 failures.

Anneal large glass figurines in the digital F-240 lamp working kiln. Raise the spring-loaded vertical-drop door to insert a glass figurine with a punty rod. Lower the door. The punty rods or mandrels will extend outside the firing chamber through the small punty rod doors. This allows even large glass pieces to anneal safely.
Punty rod doors retain the heat
Two 4” x 7 1/2” punty rod doors will give you plenty of room to work with. Because of a gap under the punty rod doors, you can usually close them all the way even when mandrels extend past the firing chamber. Two layers of woven gaskets under each door help to hold in the heat. Powerful rare-earth magnets hold the punty rod doors in the open and closed positions. To help retain heat, the ceramic fiber punty rod doors are two inches thick.
Slide-out mandrel holder
We have added an adjustable mandrel holder to the front of the kiln. Adjust it horizontally and vertically without tools. Position the heavy-duty welded mandrel holder from 1 1/4” to 12” from the front edge of the main floor. (A firebrick extension on the front of the kiln fits under the punty rod doors beyond the front edge of the kiln floor.) Then tighten the mandrel holder with the thumbscrews on each side of the kiln. The holder slides inside steel tubes mounted in the base of the kiln. The stainless steel mandrel rest, which includes 14 slots, can also be adjusted vertically.
Thicker firebricks in the F-240
The firebricks in the roof, walls, door, and bottom are 3” thick. This is 20% more insulation than the standard 2 1/2” firebricks in the walls and bottom of our earlier F-240 kilns. The extra insulation enables the Paragon F-240 kiln to maintain a temperature hold with greater ease. A firebrick ledge extends 3” past the punty rod doors as a handy working surface.
For your safety, the Paragon F-240 kiln is rigorously tested by TUV to meet UL and CSA standards. TUV is Germany’s leading testing lab. We can make the F-240 for any electrical system in the world. The F-240 includes safety on/off switch for your convenience. Electrical components stay cool in a slotted base. No extra stand is needed for your kiln.
Solid State Relays
The F240 has solid-state relays that are mounted to aluminum heat sinks. SSR's last far longer than standard mechanical relays and offer better temperature control during holds. SSR's also have no moving parts to wear out. You will also notice is that SSR's are silent. The only sound you will hear just the reassuring hum of the heating elements.
Stainless Steel Wax Trays and Grate
Use a Stainless Steel Wax Tray and Grate, 17″ X 17.″ This Stainless Steel Wax Tray and Grate system will fit well in your kiln and allow you to do lots of production work. The trays slide out easily from under the strong steel grates allowing you to clean out the wax with ease. Check out a 17x17 Stainless Steel Wax Tray and Grate to fit in this kiln here.

Khalid has been having one hell of a year. The talented singer released his debut album American Teen in March and he’s been on a roll since then. He has dropped multiple remixes from the album, picked up a (2x) platinum & gold plaque, and has guested on some huge records by Logic, Calvin Harris, Marshmello, & Lorde. Today, Khalid shares a new track ‘Perfect’. The track is listed as a rough draft, so it’s a bit rough around the edges but the songwriting and vocal performance as sure to get you in your feels.

What inspired you to write this book?
A trip to Germany with my father in April 2015 served as the catalyst for this book, but in a multitude of ways, the material contained in these pages is the culmination of a lifelong project. As a daughter of two Holocaust survivors, I have already written for many years about my experiences of inherited grief, loss, and trauma. However, during that particular trip (which was the third time I visited the site of the Buchenwald concentration camp with my father—a camp in which he was a prisoner at the age of fifteen), I began to focus more intently on the historic threshold we are all currently approaching. How will the legacies of Holocaust survivors, liberators, victims, witnesses, and perpetrators be remembered when they are no longer among us in person? This questioning led me to investigate other genocides and atrocities of the 20th century (and earlier), as well as to engage in research on the emerging evidence for the complexities of inter-generational aftermath of war. I found it was urgently important to blend my personal narrative with interviews and broad-based studies that reflect a widely shared accounting of past, present, and future. How can each of us help move in the direction of healing—individually as well as collectively?
What are you reading right now?
I’ve just finished reading a novel called Forest Dark by Nicole Krauss. We are going to be in conversation at Keplers in a few weeks, and I’ve been an admirer of all of her books for quite a while. Our themes and concerns have many parallels. I’m also starting to re-read a dystopian novel called Memoirs of a Survivor by Doris Lessing. It had a stunning effect on my imagination when I read it several years ago, and I’m curious to see how it impacts me now, especially since I’m paying so much attention to the word “survivor”—how and where the term and its meaning is continually explored.
What’s the one book that you recommend to people, over and over?
I recommend different books to different people, depending on what they seem to be wanting to experience or to learn, but I am most likely to urge anyone and everyone to read To the Lighthouse by Virginia Woolf, because it’s a perfect masterpiece. I have come to feel somewhat similarly about The Sea by John Banville (and both are quite short, as it happens). A bigger commitment of time and attention is required for this one, but The Lost: A Search for Six of Six Million, by Daniel Mendelsohn, is a tremendously moving and elegantly crafted work. It’s as much about storytelling and memory and creativity as it is about family history and the Holocaust.
Who are some of your writer mentors? Do you find that’s changed over time as you evolve as a writer or do they remain the same?
My earliest writing mentors were my professors at Stanford and at U.C. Irvine, but all of that was a very long time ago! My evolution as a writer definitely includes the discovery of inspiration from new writers all the time. And sometimes my mentors show up as ghosts — in the sense that writers no longer living can feel like the ones who teach me and guide me the most, for example Virginia Woolf (see above) and James Joyce and Rainer Maria Rilke.
What is your most prized book possession? A first edition? A gift? Please describe.
I confess that I have an ever-growing collection of signed books, more than I have shelf space to accommodate. But one inscription that feels the most meaningful is on a page inside David Grossman’s exquisite novel See Under: Love, where he wrote this: “Listening to you read your poems made me feel that we are brother and sister.”


I went to the Maine Fiber Frolic today. It is an annual event sponsored by a group of Lama and Alpaca ranchers. It is held at the Windsor Fairgrounds in the booming little metropolis of Windsor Maine.
Yeah, a new spindle had to come home with me. What was that I saying about clearing out again?
This is Clementine (on the left) she was smiling for her photo.
Once again I apologize for the photo quality. I'm still working on it.

The Screenrant site has just unveiled the 10 best quotes from Rollo (Clive Standen) in the Vikings series.
Rollo is one of the most iconic characters in the series Vikings. Known for his barbaric ways, he is also one of the protagonists with brilliant dialogues. MCE TV tells you everything from A to Z!
Ragnar’s brother has character in Vikings
It has been a few months since the adventure Vikings is well and truly over. A blow for fans of the series who have had a hard time say goodbye to their favorite characters.
But do not panic ! MCE TV is committed to making the pleasure last. Since 2013, viewers have taken part in the battles fought by Ragnar and his relatives.
And the least we can say is that aficionados will have witnessed scenes of extreme violence. And this, throughout the series. Sensitive souls refrain !
But while the images could sometimes shock, many characters will still have marked the spirits. Rollo, for example, is part favorite protagonists of aficionados.
The reason ? His ambitious personality and his treacherous ways. Two character traits that will catapult him from an ordinary northerner to a duke.
Although sometimes hateful, he knew how to shine by his eloquence. Today, Screenrant therefore pays tribute to him by unveiling his best quotes during the different seasons of Vikings.
Let’s start our overview right away with the first one. “When you hear thunder, it’s only thunder. But for me it’s Thor, beating his hammer! “
Eh yes ! It is no longer a secret. Everyone knows that Scandinavian warriors believe in the existence of the Nordic Gods.
So that all of the series is sprinkled with reference to Odin and his offspring. Here, the evocation of Thor highlights the difference between Viking society and Francic society. MCE TV tells you more!
In ninth position, we find an important quote from Vikings. « I wanted to get out of your shadow but when I walked out the doors there was no sunlight. “
Rollo did choose to say these words after his betrayal of his brother. Indeed, the character played by Clive Standen did not hesitate to ally with Jarl Borg. Corn he seems to have regretted his decision very quickly.
Moreover, he will not hesitate to proclaim loud and clear: ” Ragnar is my father. My mother. He’s Lagertha. He’s all I can’t do. » Too cute !
Despite everything, that will not prevent him from repeating the experience … And this, taking the side of King Charles. He even converted to Christianity. And this, while he had asked his friend: « How many Christians have I killed, Floki?«
Let’s continue with this sentence: « Bring her back from Valhalla. But, make it worth it. Because it is already at the gates. “
Very wise, he had therefore tried to warn the warriors about Thorrun’s state of health. At last, “Up on the overturned keel.” Climb, with a heart of steel. The cold is the spray of the ocean. And your death is on the way. “; “It’s just funny the Gods took you first.” I always thought they liked you better. »
“I won’t betray you. I will not betray in Paris. And I will not betray my wife. “; “As long as my brother is still alive, he is not defeated. ” or “Blow the corns!” Defeat the Drums and have courage. Because there will be no turning back. Only victory! Or death ! ” There’s no denying it, Rollo is truly one of the best characters in Vikings !

Oregon is one of more than a dozen states that helps cover the cost of tuition at community colleges for eligible students.
The collective student loan debt in the United States reached a record high of $1.67 trillion this June, and it’s no mystery why: The cost of higher education has skyrocketed, more than doubling over the past two decades to reach an average $48,000 tuition at a private college, even after adjusting for inflation. At the same time, the median income in the country has been largely stagnant, hovering around $60,000.
Americans’ struggle to pay for college made the issue a top focus for Democrats during their presidential primary. And while many balked at candidates proposing “free” college, there are successful programs running throughout the country that get students to college without saddling them with debt.
According to Morley Winograd, the president and founder of the Campaign for Free College Tuition, about 16 states have programs that make community college tuition free or almost free for students.
One such program is the Oregon Promise Grant, which was set up by the state legislature in 2016. It helps cover tuition costs at any state community college for recent high school and General Education Development (GED) graduates. There are eligibility requirements–such as grade averages, state residency, and time restrictions–but the program ultimately makes higher education more affordable.
Endi Hartigan, the communications director for the Oregon Higher Education Coordinating Commission, said in an interview with COURIER that data shows the grant has made a positive impact on the number of high schools graduates attending college.
“There is evidence that the Oregon Promise expanded the number of recent high school graduates who went to college by 2%,” she said. “Even small increases during this time period are notable because enrollment is generally down during times of a strong economy.”
She also said there is some indication that the Oregon Promise Grant is helping students stay on their degree track.
“Early findings indicated that Oregon Promise students largely experience positive outcomes,” Hartigan said. “The majority of students had earned a credential, transferred to a public university, or were still enrolled in community college two years into the program,” Hartigan said.
Winograd pointed to programs in Tennessee and Rhode Island that have demonstrated significant success in increasing enrollment, especially among first generation college students. He also said there are economic benefits that come to states willing to spend money on community college tuition.
“There’s enormous economic benefits in states with a higher degree of residents who have a college degree,” he said. “States with residents who have a college degree earn more from income tax because those people earn more. The average person with a two year, let alone a four year degree, earns a considerably larger amount of money.”
According to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, a person who graduated with a four year degree on average earns more than $30,000 more than someone with a high school diploma. Winograd also said a four-year degree student is “much more likely to lead to employment for the individual student.”
“The college unemployment rate pre-pandemic was very low, now even in the pandemic, those with a college degree have either survived or gotten a different job than the one they had pre-pandemic. So college is a great employment benefit.”
The Obama administration proposed a program that would’ve made the first two years of college free for eligible students, but it didn’t get far due to opposition from the Republican Senate. Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden has a community college plan that would expand the premise of the Oregon Promise Grant to include adult students who might have graduated high school many years ago. It would rely on the federal government funding 75% of the cost and states contributing the remaining 25%. For Native American Tribes operating community colleges for low income students the federal government would cover up to 95% of the costs.

Travel video about destination Utah in USA.
The State of Utah is located in the south west of the United States of America is a land of endless horizons, canyons, deserts and big open spaces. What Mecca is to the Moslems and Rome is to the Catholics is what Salt Lake City is to the Mormons. It is also the capital of the U.S. federal state of Utah. The prosperous city also contains many of those of other faiths but the highly influential Mormon church makes most of the region’s political decisions. The administrative HQ of the world wide active Mormon church is, at a hundred and twenty eight metres high, the city’s tallest building. The religion’s financial might and strict administration still exist today. Each member has to contribute one tenth of his or her income thus the Council Of The Twelve Apostles and the church presidency are a wealthy multinational concern. The Bonneville Salt Flats are located next to Great Salt Lake, a huge area covered by salt that is one of the flattest areas in the world. The lake was once used for motor sports and on the Salt Flats racing drivers in rocket-shaped cars attempted to beat one land speed record after the other. Zion National Park is not only a place of natural history as signs of human habitation have also been discovered here. Several of the park’s archaeological sites indicate that Man inhabited this region more than two thousand years ago. It is believed that its earliest prehistoric inhabitants were the legendary Anasazi Indians, followed by the Paiute Tribe. This land of red rock, the Great Salt Lake and remarkable canyons is a wonderful world at the edge of civilisation created by the might of natural forces. A desert land where water is vital and the supply of which is now assured by modern technology. All this is Utah, a dream world of deep canyons and vast open spaces

Pacific Northwest waterfall elopement
Franklin Falls; Snoqualmie, WA.
Pacific Northwest waterfall elopements are definitely not uncommon, and for good reason. The northwest offers some of the most beautiful waterfalls with fairly easy access to multiple falls. Franklin Falls, in Washington, is becoming more and more popular because of this reason; with just a short mile hike and easy terrain, its the perfect ‘fix’ for those looking for a place to say I do. Some other falls in Washington state that are great for elopements or small intimate weddings are Lower Lewis River Falls and Palouse Falls. Oregon has a vast amount of falls but some of the uncommon waterfalls for elopements or weddings are Abiqua Falls, Punch Bowl Falls, Proxy Falls and Toketee Falls. Northern California has McArthur-Burney Falls and Potem Falls.
Taking it back to early April of this year, I had a beautiful BHLDN gown that I wanted to utilize and so I found some last minute vendors to help create a vision of movement and emotion with a cascading waterfall as the backdrop. The reason I wanted this gown in front of a waterfall is because it has amazing flow to it and therefore adding the breeze from the pressure of the water hitting allows for amazing movement. I wanted to capture that movement in the dress and with the hair. In addition, there is something truly elegant and romantic with someone in formal attire in the middle of nature!
