 What is going on with the Muslim Uighur population in China?

China sees Islam as a growing problem and has increased its actions against Uighur Muslims in the country. According to UN and U.S. officials, around one million Muslims have been put in Chinese internment camps until now.
Inmates told that in the camps Muslims are forced to reject Islam and learn Communist Party songs every day. Other reports say that inmates are forced to eat pork and drink alcohol.
While the camps were at first created to battle extremism of Uighur Muslims, now even a long beard – as part of a Muslim identity – can result in being sent to a re-education camp. The consequence is that almost every Uighur Muslim risks to be sent away for ‘re-education’.
“The religious extremist ideology is a type of poisonous medicine, which confuses the mind of the people. … If we do not eradicate religious extremism at its roots, the violent terrorist incidents will grow and spread all over like an incurable malignant tumour,” the radio statement broadcast via WeChat to Uighurs last year, said.
After being confronted by a UN panel a Chinese official says there are “no such things as re-education centres”.
According to James Millward, a professor of Chinese history at Georgetown University, “Religious belief is seen as pathology”.
“So now they’re calling re-education camps ‘hospitals’ meant to cure thinking. It’s like an inoculation, a search-and-destroy medical procedure that they want to apply to the whole Uighur population, to kill the germs of extremism,” Millward adds.
“Although a certain number of people who have been indoctrinated with extremist ideology have not committed any crimes, they are already infected by the disease. There is always a risk that the illness will manifest itself at any moment, which would cause serious harm to the public.

 What's the latest update on Syncrude's facility?

A power failure at Syncrude's facility means production could be curtailed until the end of July.
Syncrude Canada's Mildred Lake oilsands project plant, near Fort McMurray, Alta., Tues. June 13, 2017. The shutdown of Syncrude’s oilsands facility last week could lead to a shortage of oil in North America, investment bank Goldman Sachs has warned.
The shutdown of Syncrude's oilsands facility last week could lead to a shortage of oil in North America, investment bank Goldman Sachs has warned.
Syncrude's facility has a capacity of 350,000 barrels of oil per day, but it shut down production on Friday after a transformer blew, the Globe and Mail reported. The company says production could be offline for all of July.
That will shrink stockpiles at the main U.S. storage hub at Cushing, Oklahoma, putting upward pressure on oil prices, Goldman Sachs said.
"This loss of U.S. supplies will exacerbate the current global deficit, making the increase in OPEC production all the more required," analysts at the investment bank wrote, as quoted at Bloomberg.
"And while Saudi is already ramping up exports, these will not be delivered until August with June stock draws already accelerating."
Higher prices could be a boost to Canada's oil industry, which sells oil at a discount to North American prices.
The differential spiked at about US$30 per barrel in February, fell to the high teens in April and May as oilsands projects went through maintenance shutdowns, but rose again in the past few weeks as output again filled pipelines. It closed at US$25.50 last Friday.
The differential will likely revert back to US$13 to $15 per barrel in July, Barclays analysts predicted in a report.
In an email Monday night, Syncrude said a full investigation into the outage in ongoing, but added the cause could have been from a transformer trip.
Syncrude has the capacity to produce 350,000 barrels per day, but Barclays estimated it has averaged only 245,000 bpd so far this year because of planned and unplanned down time. It lowered its estimate of third-quarter production from 305,000 bpd to between 200,000 and 215,000 bpd, adding it expects Syncrude to post significantly higher costs per barrel.
The analysts say the news is negative for Suncor Energy Inc., which owns about 59 per cent of Syncrude, and Imperial Oil Ltd., with a 25 per cent stake.
On June 7, Suncor said in a news release it was ready for "strong production'' this year after completing maintenance at facilities including Syncrude.

 What should politicians know about the March for Our Lives movement?

March for Our Lives activist and Stoneman Douglas high school shooting survivor Ryan Deitsch, center, speaks to reporters during the Road to Change gun control reform town hall at Sierra Vista High School, Monday, July 16, 2018.
For any Nevadan seeking public office, here’s word to the wise in relation to Monday’s March for Our Lives event in Las Vegas.
Ignore these young people at your own peril.
The student activists who participated in the event showed themselves to be highly motivated, well-organized, richly informed and solidly resolute in their demand for change in the nation’s gun policies.
They’ve learned the fundamentals of activism well, and they’ve found traction in their message.
This is a generation of Americans who’ve grown up in an era when reasonable restrictions on guns have been tossed out the window in favor of a fear-fueled, Wild West approach in which extremists contend that the only solution to gun violence is more guns.
That mindset has only led to a proliferation of firearms and a growing amount of violence, of which the nation’s youth has borne the brunt in way too many cases. Not only have they lost their lives and suffered physical injuries, but their sense of security has been shattered.
And now, quite justifiably, they’ve had enough.
They’re no longer waiting patiently for their elders to do what’s right and adopt responsible gun legislation. They’re demanding it, and they’re working to defeat candidates who continue to sacrifice lives to maintain support from the National Rifle Association and help feed the organization’s insatiable appetite for more gun-buyers.
“If you don’t listen to young people, we’re going to vote you out,” local activist Karl Catarata said at the event, drawing cheers from the crowd of several hundred people of all ages.
That’s no idle threat. Although the crowd included a number of students yet to reach voting age, the activists included several college-age students like Catarata.
Although the purpose of March for Our Lives isn’t to promote either party or any particular candidate, the group showed it was paying close attention to leadership when several speakers took issue with Nevada Attorney General Adam Laxalt. Laxalt, who won the Republican primary for governor, was criticized over the state’s failure to implement the 2016 ballot initiative calling for expanded background checks on gun purchases.
And while Laxalt has addressed school safety by holding a discussion with educators and law enforcement officers, Catarata pointed out that he didn’t bring young activists to the table for that discussion.
Clearly, Catarata and his cohorts are committed to holding leaders accountable.
Keep in mind, too, that the activists are members of Generation Z, the massive demographic group born after 1996. The 61 million-strong generation will be hugely influential in elections once it matures.
So any candidate who’d dismiss the March for Our Lives movement as a passing fad among a select group of kids is taking a huge risk.
The better approach? Treat them like the patriotic Americans they are. Engage them, listen to their ideas and start representing them responsibly.

 "Hey, have you heard the news about the black man babysitting two white children in Georgia?"

After calling police about she followed the babysitter before officers eventually reached him and the two kids — and learned there was nothing wrong.
A white female motorist had a “funny feeling” when she saw a black man baby-sitting two white children in a Georgia parking lot, according to 911 tapes made public on Friday.
Corey Lewis, 27, claimed he was the victim of racial profiling when he was spotted outside a Walmart in Marietta with the kids in his care.
“Hi there, I’m in the Walmart parking lot at Barrett Parkway and I just got my nails done and I see this black gentleman with these two little white kids and so I just had a funny feeling,” the woman said, in a recording released by Cobb County.
The woman told police she approached Lewis and asked how he knew the children.
After calling police about Lewis, she followed them to a gas station before officers eventually reached the baby sitter and two kids — and learned there was nothing wrong.
Much of the 911 tape released by Cobb County was silence, with the woman followed along and staying on the line with the dispatcher.
On multiple occasions, the woman without prompting explained that she would feel guilty about not calling 911.
”And if I’m wrong that’s great. I’m thrilled," she added.
Lewis works at a youth mentoring program that teaches kids social skills, etiquette and character development.
The parents of 10-year-old Addison and 6-year-old Nicholas were out to dinner when Lewis called to tell them what was happening. The mom and dad said they had to be convinced this wasn’t a prank, because the story seemed so unbelievable.
“I said are you telling me that because a woman saw a young African-American male with two white kids that they were pulled over by the police?” mom Dana Mango recalled asking a police officer.
“He was apologetic and said, ‘Yes, ma'am, I'm sorry that appears to be what happened.’"
The incident is the latest case of a white person calling the police to report an African American doing a seemingly innocent act.
This summer a woman called police in Oakland after spotting a black family enjoying a lakeside cookout. She was labeled #BBQBecky.
Also this earlier year, two men were arrested at a Philadelphia Starbucks where they had been waiting for a business meeting.

Milehouse is a late Victorian and 1930s suburb of Plymouth. It is now notable for a substantial traffic junction, the vast depot base of the local city bus company, a Wetherspoons pub and an undertaker. Formerly it was famous for the site of Outland House, the large family home of Robert Falcon Scott, who led the tragic British expedition to the South Pole and died on the return journey. The area borders Plymouth's huge Central Park and is a meeting point for supporters and police before and after local football games at adjacent Home Park, the ground of Plymouth Argyle football club. It is a reputable area with good facilities and is convenient to the city centre, the nightlife zones, the parkland and the main road in and out of town.

 Describe the implications of South Carolina's recent bill outlawing saggy pants.

A new law in South Carolina would make it unlawful for people to expose skin or underwear by wearing their pants below their hips. The move is an attempt to curb the apparent popularity of saggy pants across the state.
South Carolina House Bill 4957 would make it illegal for a person to appear in public wearing trousers which are "three inches below the crest of his ileum exposing his skin or undergarments". It is presumed the lawmakers meant the ‘ilium’, (the hip bone) rather than the ‘ileum’ which is part of the small intestine.
Sagging Pants: Trend or Trouble?
"It's unbecoming, it's unprofessional", Democrat Representative Joe Jefferson from Berkeley County, one of the bill's sponsors, told WLTX.
Violations would not lead to a criminal record however, he assured his audience.
"I understand that some people are assuming that if one is caught, then they won't be allowed to go to college, grants, loans, all these other opportunities will be taken away. That's not the case at all. This is just to prevent these fellas and giving them at least an obligation to realize that they're walking around and they're convincing others to follow them.” Jefferson said.
Saggy pants could lead to offenders getting caught short in more ways than one. A first-time violation would incur a fine of $25. Thereafter, it would be $50 or three hours of community service for a second offense, and $75 or six hours of community service for a third offense or more.
Civil rights groups fear that the bill unfairly targets ethnic minorities, and African-American men in particular.
“Introducing a bill to criminalize sagging pants will disproportionately affect minorities in communities and schools, is a waste of taxpayers’ money, and an attempt to sustain debtor’s prisons in South Carolina,” the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) posted on Twitter on Thursday.
Jefferson denied that the bill will unfairly target minorities.
"It's no more than a warning to allow these fellas to be more responsible. It is not just targeting African-American men. I see men of all races walking around with this same problem. It is just disingenuous, we should not have this. There ought to be a better way," he said.
Another Democrat, Rep. Wendell Gilliard of Charleston, agreed that something needs to be done about pants now being worn below the knees.
“If a female was to go around in the same fashion, pants down by their ankles or below the waist, we would see that as indecent exposure,” he told WCIV.
The bill has been referred to the state’s Judiciary Committee.

 What do we know about Melania Trump's immigration history?

Melania Trump, the wife of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump and an immigrant from Slovenia, was paid for 10 modeling jobs in 1996 before she received legal authorization to work in the United States, the Associated Press reported Friday night.
The AP cited detailed ledgers from Melania Trump’s modeling agency as well as a contract she signed with the firm, concluding that she was paid more than $20,000 for the work over seven weeks.
The finding contradicts repeated statements from both Melania and Donald Trump, who have insisted that she scrupulously followed U.S. immigration law when she came to the United States as a striving model.
It also creates a potential political embarrassment for the Republican nominee, who has based much of his campaign on a vow to crack down on illegal immigration — including deporting people who have violated the terms of their immigration status.
The Trump campaign has said that Melania Trump came to the United States in 1996 and then met and began dating Donald Trump in 1998. In 2001, she received a green card that allowed permanent residency, the campaign has said, and became a U.S. citizen in 2006, the year after she and Trump were married.
“I am pleased to enclose a letter from my immigration attorney which states that, with 100% certainty, I correctly went through the legal process when arriving in the USA,” Melania Trump tweeted in September, when she released a lawyer’s letter outlining the history. The campaign provided no documentation of the narrative at the time.
The new information involves Melania Trump’s activities in her first weeks after arriving in the United States. The Trump campaign has indicated that she arrived on Aug. 27, 1996, holding a B1/B2 visitor’s visa. She then received a work permit on Oct. 18, 1996.
It is illegal to perform work for money while holding a visitor’s visa. However, the AP located records showing that she was paid for multiple jobs during the weeks that she held the visitor’s permit, including for Fitness magazine and the Bergdorf Goodman department store.
During that time, she also signed what appeared to be a standard management agreement with her agency, Metropolitan International Management, that appeared to have been executed on Sept. 4, 1996.
Neither a Trump campaign spokesman nor Michael Wildes, the lawyer who wrote the letter outlining Trump’s immigration history in September, responded Saturday to requests for comment. Wildes told the AP that “these documents, which have not been verified, do not reflect our records including corresponding passport stamps,” but he did not answer additional questions.
In recent days, Melania Trump has reemerged on the campaign trail after a long absence following a speech she delivered at the Republican National Convention that borrowed language from Michelle Obama. Melania Trump held a rally on Thursday in Pennsylvania, where she issued a call for civility in politics.
Experts say many immigrants to the United States perform work illegally while holding a visitor’s visa, putting them “out of status” and potentially endangering their ability to later become U.S. citizens. It is one reason, they say, that there are so many people living in the country illegally. Trump has promised to deport people who have violated the terms of their visas.
It is considered fraud to lie during the immigration process — by entering the United States with a visitor’s visa but intending to work and falsely a telling a border control officer otherwise, for example.
If authorities can prove that a person has engaged in fraud, the consequences can be severe. Immigration authorities can retroactively seek to revoke citizenship of people found to have violated immigration law. But that process is very rare, generally used only in extreme cases, such as when a person is suspected of involvement with terrorism.
Paolo Zampolli, a former partner in modeling agency, confirmed to the AP that the documents appeared authentic but that he could not recall additional details. He has told The Washington Post that he paid for Melania to come to New York in 1996 and arranged for her H-1B work visa so she could work at his Metropolitan Models.
She was 26 at the time, far older than the typical Eastern European recruit, usually 18 or 19.
Metropolitan was dragged into nasty contract disputes, and court documents related to them filed in New York detail many lavish parties its young models attended.
Metropolitan, like many modeling agencies, often threw parties, and their guest list included rich and influential men. It was at one of the parties in 1998 that Zampolli said he introduced Melania to Trump.
Immigration experts say questions remain about how Melania was able to obtain her green card in 2001, which allowed her to remain in the U.S. permanently.
She has said she was granted the permit because of “extraordinary ability,” but experts say that visa category is generally reserved for people whose accomplishment is at the level of a Nobel Prize winner. It would be unusual, they say, for a model with no college degree to qualify.

 Describe the Bose QuietComfort 25 Noise Cancelling Headphones.

Shortly after starting a podcast with a friend he recommended to me the Bose Quiet Comfort 15 noise canceling headphones. While doubtful about wired over-ear headphones, which I hadn't worn in a decade, none-the-less I tried them out.
They immediately became required equipment.
Since Bose introduced the QC 15s five years ago they have become a common sight on frequent travelers in airports and train stations the world over. Now Bose has updated the line with the Quiet Comfort 25 noise canceling headphones .
Here are my thoughts on the QC 25s after three weeks, two trains, and one transatlantic trip.
You buy the Quiet Comfort headphones from Bose to distance yourself from the acoustic intrusions of the world: construction, babies, jet engines, music, traffic, babies, and babies.
Take, to pick a random example, babies. Their voices designed by millions of years of evolution to be unignorable. In the confines of a crowded airplane, a single baby can tear asunder the calm and quiet thoughts of a hundred or more grown humans with a mere cry. What baby is going to pass up that kind of opportunity?
There is nothing -- legally anyway -- that you can do about a screaming baby, but the Bose Quiet comfort headphones are the next best thing. Your metaphorical smothering pillow, as it were.
And a pillow really is the best way to describe the effect. The noise canceling doesn't really cancel out the sounds of the world around you, as the name claims. The headphones aren't a mute, but make sounds muteed. The noise 'canceling' effect when combined with music, however, makes it easy to ignore the world and slip into isolated comfort. It works best for low constant sounds (Cabin airplane noises and street traffic almost disappear) and least well for irregular, high sounds (babies, sirens) but still makes them tolerable.
Once you stop actively listening to them, the sounds slip away from your mind. I've had the pleasure of living next to construction sites for, oh, the last five years. When I first put the headphones on, I can still hear the jackhammers, but any construction work that starts after that is hard to notice. Once in this state it can be startling to take off the headphones and be plunged back into cacaphonic horror.
The noise reduction is so good they need to come with a warning: these headphones are not safe to wear on the street. Sirens are still audible, but approaching cars are deadly silent. Without the ambient awareness of footsteps, people appear from behind without you noticing them in advance. If you're going to wear them on the street, even with one headphone off they can surprisingly limit your aural information.
Second: the headphones still run on a AAA battery. People complain mightily and I'm baffled as to why: Running on AAAs is a huge advantage. The headphones are most needed when they can be charged the least. An 11-hour flight from London to San Francisco is no time to find yourself with dead headphones.
AAA batteries are easily bought at any airport or train station in any country. Charging stations, if available at all, are the rare oasis. Even if you find one, you better hope you didn't forget to pack yet another charging wire.
Bose claims the AAA battery lasts more than 30 hours -- and I believe them. Trying to run the headphones down by using them for everything all day took the better part of the week even on an old rechargeable battery.
The QC 25s are ever so slightly smaller than the QC15s. Glancing at them side-by-side it's hard to see -- but Bose picked all the right places to shave millimeters. For something you wear on your head small improvements in size and weight yield an outsized increase in comfort. You can wear them at work all day.
One of my biggest complaints is also removed: the QC 15s would let you know the battery was about to die with a sudden 'clack clack clack clack' sound. It was loud enough that, if I left the headphones on in the room next to my bedroom when the batteries ran down in the middle of the night the clack clack clack clack could wake me. The experience of wearing the headphones when the battery went low was… not pleasant.
I have no idea who floated that terrible idea in the design meeting but I hope the near-removal of this 'feature' from the QC25s means they were fired. And hanged. I say near-removal because it took me almost three weeks to realize that the QC25s still do click, but so gently and softly it's easily missed. The tiny green LED on the side of the headphones now blinks when the battery is approaching the end of its life. Also as a plus, even without the batteries, the audio will still work (though with reduced quality and no noise canceling).
As a final small point: the new look is also much improved: the QC 15 was a little cyberman in its appearance. The black and blue color scheme is both less eye-catching (good) and more pro. The phrase 'anonymously handsome' comes to mind.
The Bose QuiteComfort 25s are a welcome upgrade from the QC 15s. Never step on a plane or a train without them.

 Describe your most recent experience or encounter with 4KZ.

Breaking News: Australian broadcaster 4KZ now on shortwave!
At last! ID for 4KZ confirmed at 0750 [UTC] Wednesday 20 December on 5,055 kHz.
Thank you, Phil–and thanks for following this development so closely over the past few weeks.
I tried tuning to 5055 kHz at my home in eastern North America, but of course conditions weren’t ideal to receive a 1,000 watt AM signal from Australia. I wasn’t ready to give up, of course, so I turned to the KiwiSDR network.
The following recording was made on December 20, 2017 starting around 11:33 UTC on 5,055 kHz . The receiver is a KiwiSDR located in Goulburn, NSW, Australia.
No details yet on where to send reception reports, but I will ask the station manager and post his reply in an update.
Post Readers: Please comment if you’ve also logged 4KZ!
This entry was posted in Broadcasters, International Broadcasting, News, Shortwave Radio and tagged 4KZ, Australia, New Shortwave Stations, New Shortwave Transmitter, NQ Radio, Phil Brennan, Shortwave Radio on December 20, 2017 by Thomas.
Had a listen tonight for 4KZ on 5055KHz.
It’s obviously an Aussie broadcaster, had a “Air News” broadcast on the half hour.
Is asking for signal reports to “Ozyradio@gmail.com”.
Apparently they are on 3210KHz as well as 5045 KHz.
Many listening DX stations in the Northern Finland (Lapland) are prepaired to hear it. I saw only a line on the waterfall by the Haparanda SDR in the Northern Sweden this morning.
Amazing! That’s some serious DX from Lapland!
Reasonable copy of 4KZ 5055 khz here in Adelaide at 1930utc, similar to you Rob, Ozy radio is at a better level. Great to see this development, hope the outback users and grey nomads embrace it.
It’s a great development for people in the bush up here after the loss of the NT shortwave service. At the Senate hearings here in Darwin earlier in the year it was evident that a lot of people relied on that service. More than the ABC has ever been prepared to acknowledge. So bravo to Al Kirton for going ahead with this. Already I’ve heard from a mate who is out in western Queensland who has tuned in and enjoying the station.
Wow, Al was the manager at 4VL in Charleville and later 4ZR in Roma. He has filled a niche after the ABC pulled its short wave service.
Good luck catching this one, folks!
Listening via the KiwiSDR in Goulburn and the signal sounds pretty impressive right now.
Despite 2017 starting out on a depressing note with the passing of RA, Australia has been a great year for new low power shortwave activity.
Yes, a great way to end 2017, Thomas. Wouldn’t it be nice to have more Aussie SW broadcasters inhabiting the 60mb. Good for outback residents and workers, and a good DX challenge for global listeners. Fingers crossed.
I usually have wonderful reception from this part of the world in Northern California. I will try to hit this one tomorrow. Will pass along info, if garnered.
We sat around our MWRS Amateur Radio club last night (20dec2017) & tuned into 5055 to hear 4KZ on 5055. We had summer knockout static crashes from a local storm but your audio was ok. Enjoyed the Beatles & JoJoZep. A QSL card is on the way, but in the meantime, some feedback.

 What is the latest information about the frozen tuna recall?

The FDA issued a recall for frozen tuna last week that, on first glance, might not seem like that big of a deal. The agency discovered tuna sold in California, Texas and Oklahoma that had been contaminated with Hepatitis A, a viral liver disease that can cause mild to severe illness, according to the World Health Organization.
Not that many retailers are on the recall list, and no illnesses have been reported, so no big deal, right?
Upon closer look, you’ll see that the New Braunfels outpost of Sysco, one of the country’s largest foodservice distributors, is on the recall list. That warehouse delivers ingredients to hundreds, if not thousands, of restaurants and retail establishments across Central Texas.
Today, the company declined to say which restaurants might have served the contaminated tuna.
“Our quality team is taking care of the recall. With regard to media, we aren’t providing any comment,” a rep said this morning. Instead of telling consumers which specific restaurants might have sold the product, Sysco directs consumers to follow the FDA’s recall instructions.
RELATED: What is Hepatitis A? How do I treat it?
Those instructions call for consumers to go to their health professionals if they think they’ve been eaten contaminated raw or rare tuna (and for restaurants to report to their local health department if they served it), but until Sysco announces which restaurants bought the recalled tuna, it’s unclear for consumers to know if they’ve eaten at an establishment that sources its seafood from Sysco.
The City of Austin, in contrast to FDA’s recall page that instructs restaurants to contact the city health department if they think they’ve served it, says that it isn’t involved with FDA recalls. “(The city’s) Environmental Health Services (department) does not have a role as a distributor/ promulgator of FDA recall notices,” Carole Barasch, Austin Public Health’s manager of communications and community development, said via email.
The only other local establishment listed in the recall is Central Market on North Lamar Boulevard. A rep for the grocer said that the tuna was sold at the in-store cafe as a special on May 5, 6, and 7.
On June 2, 2017 the U.S. Food and Drug Administration notified consumers that frozen yellowfin tuna from Hilo Fish Company was being recalled in several states due to a possible Hepatitis A contamination. There have been no reports of illness. Central Market Café located at 4001 N Lamar Blvd, Austin, TX 78756 utilized the tuna product in the Chef’s Special plate featured only in the Central Market Café on May 5th, 6th and 7th, 2017. H-E-B is committed to the highest standards in food safety, no other Central Market or H-E-B locations are impacted by this recall.
You can click here to find full details about the recalled products, including lot number and expiration date of the specific products.
The bottom line: If you ate raw tuna from any restaurant in Texas in the past month, you might have been exposed to Hepatitis A, a virus that isn’t usually lethal. Cooked tuna, including canned tuna, is not affected.
What you need to know about Hepatitis A: If you contract the virus, symptoms won’t be present for about 50 days, so we won’t know if anyone contracted Hepatitis A from this contaminated tuna for another few weeks. There is a two week window after exposure when you can get a shot that can prevent you from developing it. You should also know that the virus can be transmitted from person to person through direct contact.
Some people have had a Hepatitis A vaccination, but it’s not required for adults.
Vaccination is recommended for all children age 12 months or older, for travelers to certain countries, and for people at high risk for infection with the virus. The hepatitis A vaccine is given as two shots, six months apart.
In a city that consumes lots of sushi and, as of late, poke, the popular Hawaiian dish made with raw tuna, it’s important that we keep an eye on when and where this tuna might have been sold.
We’ve reached out to a number of local restaurants to find out if any of them might have served the tuna and will keep you posted if we hear about any that can confirm they served the tuna.
As for the local poke restaurants, we have heard from Jason McVeary, owner of Poke Poke, who says that he does not source his tuna from Sysco.

 What do we know about the M89 class destroyers?

The M89 class were a planned series of destroyers ("torpilleur d'escadre") for the French Navy ("Marine Nationale"). Although initially designed in 1913, the scheduled construction of the two new destroyers was suspended due to the outbreak of World War I before either ship could be laid down. The two destroyers had not yet been given names, being known only by their planned construction numbers, M89 and M90.

 Describe the new features in Code.xyz.

Hey everyone! As promised, we're committed to keeping our community updated on a bi-weekly cadence by 9AM PT on Wednesday mornings. The last two weeks have been a flurry of activity for the Standard Library team — last week I was in Reykjavik, Iceland to present at BlueYard's Future of Software Development Conference, this week we'll be at ServerlessDays London, and on top of that, there have been some recent festivities for our North American friends and colleagues. July 1st was Canada day, and now that today is the 4th, happy Independence Day to our American community!
We've gotten off to quite a celebratory start this week. Following that excitement, we're happy to talk to you today about a very important update to Code.xyz. Since the launch of Code.xyz last month, we've had a few developers lose their API development progress by navigating between pages or hitting "back" in the web browser accidentally with no way to recover their work. We've now fixed this problem — at the popular request of our community, we've added a brand new cloud-based API autosave feature. In addition, we've also added the ability to delete existing APIs from within the Code.xyz API selection screen.
We've also added the ability to delete both APIs and autosaves from this prompt — be careful, this cannot be undone!
Here's our embedded sample API. You can try out API autosave by changing the file in any way you'd like and hitting Save in the bottom right. You can then try to open your Autosave by going to your user menu in the bottom left and hitting "Open Existing API..." — the autosave should appear at the top.
We hope you enjoy — we have a lot more coming, and we'd love to hear your feedback. Drop us a line any time on our community Slack workspace (click for an invitation). To the thousands of developers building APIs with us since we've launched Code.xyz, thank you!

 What do you think about the Predators for this season?

The 2018-19 Predators serve as a remarkable replica of the 2017-18 Predators, with a few minor tweaks.
The Swedish-translated version without usage of the word “ain’t,” anyway. The point is just as clear. Forsberg was talking about this Predators team, which looks remarkably like the last Predators team.
A core group that reached the Stanley Cup Final two postseasons ago and won the Presidents’ Trophy last season logically will be kept together. But general manager David Poile isn’t just keeping the core. The 2018-19 Predators serve as a remarkable replica of the 2017-18 Predators, with a few minor tweaks.
Shoot, one of the new forwards in this lineup that will open the season Thursday on the road against the New York Rangers, Frederick Gaudreau, is an old playoff hero in Nashville (from 2017). The top three lines are the same as they were for most of last season, the top two defense pairings, the goalies, the coaches, the uniforms, the high expectations inside and outside the room, the accents, the haircuts, the famous P.K. Subban girlfriend (Lindsey Vonn). Just about everything.
The only actual new faces on the opening night roster belong to third-pairing defenseman Dan Hamhuis – a former Predator, by the way, and an upgrade over Alexei Emelin – and forward/agitator Zac Rinaldo, who previously played for coach Peter Laviolette in Philadelphia.
This means Poile and Laviolette place a lot of value on the consistency last season that produced the best record in the league, despite the complete absence of consistency in a postseason that ended with a second-round, seven-game loss to Winnipeg. As another sprawling regular season gets started, keep that in mind if you’re in the “regular season means nothing” crowd.
It also means a lot to these players. They were forceful and coordinated in voicing this hope to Poile in the aftermath of a loss to the Jets in the first Game 7 ever played at Bridgestone Arena. It wasn’t the easiest time to sell, after the top defense corps in the league seemed to soar and crash from game to game; after the second line went silent for two series; after the Predators finished 3-4 in the postseason in their building.
But it was their only time to sell. And they were selling to a guy who, two offseasons earlier, shipped the captain and most popular player in Predators history, Shea Weber, to Montreal for Subban. Who was being asked by media after the loss to the Jets about a (comically uninformed) report that Subban was on the block.
It enters the season as a Stanley Cup contender. For the record, out of 79 analysts between ESPN.com, NHL.com and The Athletic, nine have the Predators winning it all and 20 have them winning the Western Conference. (Give me the San Jose Sharks over the Tampa Bay Lightning, for the record, unless I’m wrong).
That’s high expectation, but it’s not the same pressure as in the spring when the playoffs began and everyone was picking the Predators to win it all – some had moved on to trying to predict the exact parade route in Nashville. This is now simply one of the best teams in the league. And it’s built to stay that way.
Two of this team’s projected starters are older than 30 – Hamhuis (35) and reigning Vezina winner Pekka Rinne, who turns 36 on Nov. 3. Rinne's performance and the level of transition this season to Juuse Saros is one of this team’s big questions. So is the saga of forward Austin Watson, who is serving a 27-game suspension after he pleaded no contest in July to a misdemeanor domestic assault charge.
So is the response of Eeli Tolvanen, the 2017 first-round pick with tremendous offensive potential who did not make the team and was sent to Milwaukee. Will he flourish there and become a top-six NHL forward this season? Will he end up opting for a return to the KHL instead? And will second-line center Kyle Turris prove something after his ghostly postseason?

 What did President Trump say about possible pardons? Respond in 173 words.

President Trump said he would consider pardoning Martha Stewart's insider trading conviction and commuting the political corruption sentence of ex-Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich during a session with reporters on Air Force One.
The list: Trump already has several pardons under his belt as president, including former sheriff Joe Arpaio, Scooter Libby, Navy sailor Kristian Saucier, boxing champion Jack Johnson, and — earlier today — right-wing filmmaker Dinesh D'Souza.
"There’s another one that I’m thinking about: Rod Blagojevich. 18 years in jail for being stupid and saying things that every other politician, you know, that many other politicians say."
"I don’t know him other than that he was on The Apprentice for a short period of time. ... And he’s a Democrat. He’s not my party. But I thought that he was treated unfairly."
"I think to a certain extent Martha Stewart was harshly and unfairly treated — and she used to be my biggest fan in the world … before I became a politician. But that’s OK, I don’t view it that way."

 Respond in 10 sentences. What is the history of the Rafale fighter jet in India?

A K Antony, who was the minister of defence in the Congress-led United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government, had in February 2014 said that the government has no money to go ahead with the procurement of 126 fighter jets.
The minister had made the comment while he was addressing the media after inaugurating Defexpo 2014 at Pragati Maidan in Delhi.
“There is no money left. All major projects have to wait till April 1,” Antony, who had a seven-and-a-half-year long tenure, the longest for an Indian defence minister, had said when asked about the procurement of Rafales.
He had said that there was “delay” but “negotiations are going on, because of shortage of funds, the deal will finalise in the next financial year”.
The Congress-led UPA government, when in power, was negotiating with Dassault Aviation for 126 Rafale fighters. Of these, 18 jets were to be supplied in a fly-away condition and 108 were to be manufactured in India along with Hindustan Aeronautic Limited (HAL). However, the UPA could not seal the deal due to difference with Rafale maker Dassault Aviation.
However, since the past one year, the Congress has been accusing the government of compromising with national security by reducing the number of aircraft and favouring Anil Ambani’s Reliance over state-owned HAL. A statement by former French President Francois Hollande, Dassault Aviation’s rebuttal to it and the French government's denial has complicated the issue further.

 Describe how ocean power could supply entire cities. Respond in 16 sentences.

Sizeable source A report released by the CSIRO has found ocean power generated by waves, currents and tides could supply a city the size of Melbourne by 2050.
In homes across the country, power bills are under scrutiny as prices continue to rise.
The CSIRO has also been running the ruler over a range of future energy options including ocean power which is generated from waves, tides and currents.
The report, Ocean renewable energy: 2015-2050, found that areas that could benefit from wave energy technology include Perth, the southern coastline and to a lesser extent the east coast of Australia.
It also identifies north east Tasmania and the Kimberley region in Western Australia as areas best placed for tidal technology.
Alex Wonhas, the director of CSIRO's Energy Transformed Flagship, says waves could be a big part of the future.
"We found it could provide up to 10 per cent of Australia's future energy needs by 2050. That's roughly equivalent of a city the size of Melbourne," he says.
Perth-based company Carnegie is working on technology to harness the power of waves.
It recently signed a deal with defence to supply power to Australia's largest naval base at Garden Island near Perth.
The company's chief operating officer, Greg Allen, says the company has invested more than $60 million with another $16 million coming from state and federal governments.
"The overall cost of the project is more than the revenue that we'll get from the sale of powers will recover," he says.
While it may be more expensive for some time to come, Allen says Australia risks falling behind without the investment.
"It's not just the Australian Government that's doing this. Other governments around the world are funding the emerging renewable technologies - and in particular wave."

 What is the story behind "Rafiki" and why is it making headlines?

The Kenyan High Court temporarily lifted a ban on Wanuri Kahiu’s film about two girls who fall in love, allowing it to be considered for Best Foreign Language Film.
The High Court’s ruling, made by Justice Wilfrida Okwany, has temporarily lifted the restricted status for seven days to be screened for “willing adults.” According to BuzzFeed, Okwany said in her ruling: “I am not convinced that Kenya is such a weak society that its moral foundation will be shaken by seeing such a film.” She also cited Kenyan artists who have had to flee the country and seek asylum because their work went against societal expectations.
Kahiu had sued the KFCB over the ban, citing damage to her career, since a film must have a theatrical run in its home country to be considered for the Best Foreign Language Film Oscar. The deadline to submit films for the Oscar is September 30, which means Kahiu and her producers now have two days to organize the required seven-day theatrical run.
Inspired by inspired by Monica Arac de Nyeko’s 2007 Caine Prize winner “Jambula Tree,” “Rafiki” is a star-crossed love story between two young women, Kena (Samantha Muatsia) and Zika (Sheila Munyiva). Rivals at first (their fathers are running against each other in a local election), they soon connect over their mutual desire for something more. “Rafiki” is the first Kenyan film to play Cannes, has since been seen at the Toronto International Film Festival, and will soon play New York’s LGBTQ film festival, NewFest.
