End the hate. Peace is possible.

The two countries should strive for the Nobel Peace Prize and the world will follow. If we are all to survive on Earth, peace is the only way forward. Any other path is leading to continued hate and mutual destruction.

The Nuclear Non-proliferation Treaty was always meant to go forward, not increase the number of countries with nuclear weapons. The five permanent nuclear powers must come to the reality there can only be peaceful use of energy and eliminate these weapons from Earth. It must come to pass and be enforced peacefully through economic strength and the respect for life.

There aren't as many (click here) as Americans are lead to believe. They are few and precious.

The official nonprofit organization of the National Park Service (click here) is set to receive the largest grant in its history, a $100 million gift the fundraising group described as transformative for the country’s national parks.

The National Park Foundation, which Congress created in the 1960s to support national parks, will receive the donation from Indianapolis-based foundation Lilly Endowment Inc. The park foundation described the gift on Monday as the largest grant in history benefiting U.S. national parks.

The money will be used to address the needs of the country’s more than 400 national park sites, said Will Shafroth, president and CEO of the National Park Foundation.

The foundation hopes to announce the first round of grants stemming from the donation later this year, Shafroth said....

Two Alaska black bear cubs. (click here) The Trump administration has rolled back 2015 rules aimed at protecting them

Hunters will soon be allowed to venture into national preserves in Alaska (click here) and engage in practices that conservation groups say are reprehensible: baiting hibernating bears from their dens with doughnuts to kill them and using artificial light such as headlamps to scurry into wolf dens to slaughter mothers and their pups.

With a final rule published Tuesday in the Federal Register, the Trump administration is ending a five-year-old ban on the practices, which also include shooting swimming caribou from a boat and targeting animals from airplanes and snowmobiles. It will take effect in 30 days....

The nonsense never stops.

So, the India hackers like to send false invoices, and now the Chinese simply want to extort Americans for money while they try to spy on the military and USA intelligence. The Chinese are trying to one-up the India hackers by extortion for money rather than fraud for money. The Chinese figure they can make out really well because before too long after Trump is in office, porn sites will be illegal and receiving the death penalty if found out. A perfect set up for Chinese extortionists.

The researchers described the software as a “critical and attractive target” due to its role in managing network configurations for these essential services....

Chinese government-backed hackers (click here) have penetrated deep into U.S. internet service providers in recent months to spy on their users, according to people familiar with the ongoing American response and private security researchers.

The unusually aggressive and sophisticated attacks include access to at least two major providers with millions of customers as well as to several smaller providers, people familiar with the separate campaigns said.

“It is business as usual now for China, but that is dramatically stepped up from where it used to be. It is an order of magnitude worse,” said Brandon Wales, who until earlier this month was executive director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, CISA.

The hacks raise concern because their targets are believed to include government and military personnel working undercover and groups of strategic interest to China....
