An old story from 'White House' :)
Hu Jintao / Condoleezza Rice / Kofi Annan / Yassir Arafat

Playwright Jim Sherman wrote this after Hu Jintao was named chief of the Communist
Party in China. (We take you now to the Oval Office.)

George: Condi! Nice to see you. What's happening?
Condi : Sir, I have the report here about the new leader of China.
George: Great. Lay it on me.
Condi : Hu is the new leader of China.
George: That's what I want to know.
Condi : That's what I'm telling you.
George: That's what I'm asking you. Who is the new leader of China?
Condi : Yes.
George: I mean the fellow's name.
Condi : Hu.
George: The guy in China.
Condi : Hu.
George: The new leader of China.
Condi : Hu.
George: The Chinaman!
Condi : Hu is leading China.
George: Now whaddya' asking me for?
Condi : I'm telling you Hu is leading China.
George: Well, I'm asking you. Who is leading China?
Condi : That's the man's name.
George: That's who's name?
Condi : Yes.
George: Will you or will you not tell me the name of the new leader of China?
Condi : Yes, sir.
George: Yassir? Yassir Arafat is in China? I thought he was in the Middle East.
Condi : That's correct.
George: Then who is in China?
Condi : Yes, sir.
George: Yassir is in China?
Condi : No, sir.
George: Then who is?
Condi : Yes, sir.
George: Yassir?
Condi : No, sir.
George: Look, Condi. I need to know the name of the new leader of China. Get me the
Secretary General of the U.N. on the phone.
Condi : Kofi?
George: No, thanks.
Condi : You want Kofi?
George: No.
Condi : You don't want Kofi.
George: No. But now that you mention it, I could use a glass of milk. And then get me the U.N.
Condi : Yes, sir.
George: Not Yassir! The guy at the U.N.
Condi : Kofi?
George: Milk! Will you please make the call?
Condi : And call who?
George: Who is the guy at the U.N?
Condi : Hu is the guy in China.
George: Will you stay out of China?!
Condi : Yes, sir.
George: And stay out of the Middle East! Just get me the guy at the U.N.
Condi : Kofi.
George: All right! With cream and two sugars. Now get on the phone.
(Condi picks up the phone.)
Condi : Rice, here.
George: Rice? Good idea. And a couple of egg rolls, too. Maybe we should send some
to the guy in China. And the Middle East. Can you get Chinese food in the Middle East?

Blockchain technology is getting increasingly embraced by large scale companies: tranio . com ; it's especially surprising coming from conservative markets such as the real estate one, where investments are sometimes calculated in half centuries.
Convince me you are not a spammer.
I'm not a spammer because spammers don't come back on the forums they infested... although sorry for the commercial oriented link, it's just that I've recentlyu completed a huge report on these and thus had such articles hammered into my brain back then.

I've gotten better now, and what's on my mind is now that the cat is hacking up huge hairballs and hell if I know what I can do to help her.

White House News ( neutral ) 2018-11-20 11:00 EST , Thanksgiving Turkey pardon
https://whitehouse.typeform.com/to/INoiH1

Vote NOW on President Trump’s National Thanksgiving Turkey pardon!
President Donald J. Trump will continue the White House tradition of pardoning the National Thanksgiving Turkey at a ceremony in the Rose Garden.
And you get to decide which bird he pardons.
Our two feathered candidates—Peas and Carrots—arrived in Washington, D.C., over the weekend.
Cast your vote before polls close at 11 a.m. ET , November 20.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Voting is closed
https://www.whitehouse.gov/gobble/
One of the two turkeys will be selected via an online White House poll to become this year's National Thanksgiving Turkey.
Which turkey should be pardoned during the National Thanksgiving Turkey Pardoning Ceremony?
After the pardoning, Peas and Carrots will live at Virginia Tech’s “Gobblers Rest” exhibit.

50% for Peas
50% for Carrot

The turkeys have been carefully groomed for a White House event,
trained from a young age to be comfortable with lights, crowds, and music to make them comfortable in the limelight.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Americans this week were given the opportunity to vote on which turkey
—Peas or buddy Carrots—
should receive the formal presidential pardon, sparing him from becoming Thanksgiving dinner.

The nation chose Peas, but Trump pardoned both.
“This is a time for Americans to unite together in a spirit of love, understanding, unity, and joy, as one very proud American family,” the President added.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banqiao_Dam
Construction of the Banqiao dam began in April 1951 on the Ru River with the help of Soviet consultants as part of a project to control flooding and provide electrical power generation.
The construction was a response to severe flooding in the Huai River Basin in 1949 and 1950.
The dam was completed in June 1952.
Because of the absence of hydrology data, the design standard was lower than usual.
.....
1975 Banqiao Dam flood :
2005 ...it has been reported that 90,000 - 230,000 people were killed as a result of the dam breaking.

Redmond (dpo) - Windows is finally going green:
there is now an update available for Microsoft’s Windows 10 which will introduce waste separation to domestic computers for the first time.
Environmentalists have long criticised the fact that all computer files are disposed of in the same recycle bin regardless of format.
In the updated version,five differently coloured containers are visible on the desktop instead of that one notorious recycle bin.
There is one each for photographs, videos, sound files, text files and general waste.
...
Now when you empty the recycle bin, the data in it will not simply be deleted, but recycled –
the colour from old photographs, for example, can be used to fill up the colour bucket in Microsoft Paint, thus saving resources.
However, some especially toxic files cannot be recycled.
These include computer viruses, GILF porn videos and Justin Bieber music.
Users can no longer dispose of these via a click on the desktop.
Instead, they must be saved to a USB stick and sent on by post to Microsoft’s hazardous waste management centre.
