Roads and Railways to ROK Completely Blocked: KCNA Report

Pyongyang, October 17 (KCNA) -- KCNA reported on October 16 that the roads and railways connected to the ROK in the east and west parts of the southern border of the DPRK have been completely blocked.

The report says:

Under the order No. 00122 of the Central Military Commission of the Workers' Party of Korea, the General Staff of the Korean People's Army on Oct. 15 took a measure to physically cut off the DPRK's roads and railways which lead to the ROK through the east and west sections of the southern border of the DPRK as part of the phased complete separation of its territory, where its sovereignty is exercised, from the ROK's territory.

A spokesman for the Ministry of National Defence of the DPRK said that in the daytime of October 15, the 60-metre-long sections of the roads and railways in Kamho-ri, Kosong County, Kangwon Province and the 60-metre-long sections of the roads and railways in Tongnae-ri, Panmun District, Kaesong Municipality have been completely blocked through blasting.

This is an inevitable and legitimate measure taken in keeping with the requirement of the DPRK Constitution which clearly defines the ROK as a hostile state, and due to the serious security circumstances running to the unpredictable brink of war owing to the grave political and military provocations of the hostile forces.

A spokesman for the Ministry of Land and Environment Protection of the DPRK confirmed that the blasting had no negative effect on the surrounding ecological environment and that the routes linking the DPRK to the ROK have been completely separated.

A spokesman for the Ministry of National Defence of the DPRK said that the DPRK will continue to take measures to permanently fortify the closed southern border. -0-

Perhaps the best part of this anecdote was Swenson’s incredulous conclusion that the situation “could have been worse.” But he’s right that it was nice of the hacker to let him know his vacuum was hacked instead of spying on him indefinitely.

The most common issue people have with so-called “smart” home devices is that they often require a software subscription to access core functionality, and if the manufacturer goes under or stops supporting the device, it simply becomes a paperweight.

What. I’m in shock.

What.

Despite only being trained to detect the "big six" (cannabis, cocaine, fentanyl, heroin, methamphetamine, and MDMA) drug dogs are somehow magically able to provide probable cause to search packages that their chud handlers think might have abortion medication. The cops explain this by saying that abortion drugs are commonly packaged around narcotics.

Oct 14 (Reuters) - California is investigating five possible human cases of bird flu among dairy farm workers, in addition to the six cases previously confirmed in the state, the state health department said on Monday.

Bird flu has spread to 100 dairies in California and 300 nationwide, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. There have been 19 confirmed human cases this year among farm workers exposed to sick poultry or dairy, including the six confirmed cases in California this month.

The risk to the general public from bird flu remains low and pasteurized dairy products are safe to consume, federal officials have said.

Specimens from the five possible cases are being sent to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for confirmation and are expected to arrive early this week, said the California Department of Public Health.

The possible and confirmed cases originated on nine different dairy farms and the individuals had mild symptoms and were not hospitalized, the state said.

The Chinese Academy of Sciences, the National Space Administration, and the China Manned Space Engineering Office jointly issued China's medium to long term space development plan.

Overall goal:

China will plan and demonstrate the implementation of national space science missions in stages, coordinate and strengthen mission-driven basic research, build a high-level talent team for space science, continuously achieve landmark original results with significant international influence, realize high-quality development of space science, rank among the world's top countries, and become a space science power.

The Five Major Scientific Themes:

• Theme 1: "Extreme Universe". It mainly explores the origin and evolution of the universe and reveal the physical laws under extreme cosmic conditions. Priority development directions under this theme include: dark matter and extreme universe, origin and evolution of the universe, and detection of cosmic baryonic matter.
• Theme 2: "Ripples in Spacetime". It mainly aims to detect medium and low frequency gravitational waves and primordial gravitational waves, and reveal the nature of gravity and spacetime. The priority development direction under this theme is space gravitational wave detection.
• Theme 3: "Sun-Earth Panorama". It mainly explores the Earth, the Sun and the heliosphere, and reveals the physical processes and laws of the complex system of the Sun and the Earth, and the overall connection between the Sun and the solar system. Priority development directions under this theme include: Earth circulation system, integrated observation of the Earth and the Moon, space weather detection, stereoscopic detection of the Sun, and detection of the outer heliosphere.
• Theme 4: "Habitable Planets". It mainly explores the habitability of solar system bodies and exoplanets, and conducts the search for extraterrestrial life. Priority development directions under this theme include: sustainable development, solar system archaeology, planetary stratification, search for extraterrestrial life, and exoplanet detection.
• Theme 5: "Studying Things in Space". It is mainly to reveal the laws of material movement and life activities under space conditions and deepen the understanding of basic physics such as quantum mechanics and general relativity. The priority development directions under this theme include: microgravity science, quantum mechanics and general relativity, space life science, etc.

The Three Stages:

• In the first phase, by 2027, the Chinese space station will be put into operation, and manned lunar exploration, the fourth phase of the lunar exploration project and the planetary exploration project will be implemented. Five to eight space science satellite missions will be demonstrated and approved, and a number of original results with important international influence will be produced.
• The second phase, from 2028 to 2035, China will continue to operate the Chinese space station, demonstrate the implementation of scientific missions such as manned lunar exploration and the international lunar research station, demonstrate the implementation of about 15 space science satellite missions, and achieve original results that are among the best in the world.
• The third stage, from 2036 to 2050, China will demonstrate the implementation of more than 30 space science missions, and achieve world-leading levels in important areas.
