THE UN WANTS TO TAKE OVER JERUSALEM AND GIVE IT TO THE MUSLIM ONLY - AS THE UN EDUCATIONAL SCIENTIFIC AND CULTURAL ORG (UNESCO) WANTS TO REWRITE HISTORY AS LEFTISTS DUE WHAT THEY DUE TO SUIT THEIR WORLD - BUT NOT SO FAST AS THE SANHEDRIN PUTS THE STUMBLING BLOCK TO THE WILD PROPOSAL COMING OUT OF THE MOUTH OF THE UN THAT GIVES JERUSALEM ONLY AS SACRED TO THE MUSLIMS

Israel’s ancient high court, the Sanhedrin, now reborn, has issued a statement warning the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization not to try to interfere with – or change – the history linked to the Temple Mount.

A report by Breaking Israel News says the U.N. agency wants to adopt a resolution at its current meetings in Istanbul that would declare the Temple Mount, site of the ancient Jewish temples, is “sacred to ‘Muslims only.'”

The proposal comes jointly from Palestinian and Jordanian interests and follows an earlier decision by the agency to call the site in Jerusalem in official papers only by the name created by Muslims – Al-Aqsa.

But Breaking Israel News reported the new plan is “far more radical.”

It said “UNESCO’s very unholy actions” would deny that there is any Jewish link to the location at all.

That prompted the Sanhedrin, which is known in the New Testament for condemning Jesus, to act.

The court, which was disbanded about A.D. 425 and now has been re-created, released a statement warning that the U.N., through its statements and comments, is fomenting global terror.

“The Jewish right to the Temple Mount was established in the Bible, and should therefore be recognized by Christianity and Islam,” the Sanhedrin said in its statement. “In fact, the Jewish claim to Jerusalem is as essential to those religions as it is to Judaism. The biblical connection between the Jews and Jerusalem led to the building of the First Temple by King Solomon, which strengthened our claim to Jerusalem even more.”

See “The Miracle of Israel,” narrated by the late Leonard Nimoy.

The statement from the court, made up of leading rabbis and scholars continued, “A plethora of archaeological evidence in and around Jerusalem is undeniable proof of Jewish settlement in biblical times. Islam did not exist, in Israel or anywhere else, until the year 636 … more than 500 years after the destruction of the Second Jewish Temple.

“If there are any doubts or counter-claims, the Sanhedrin challenges them to establish an objective committee of archeologists to check these facts. On this matter, the Sanhedrin decries the Palestinians’ efforts to destroy the archaeological evidence on the Temple Mount. … These acts, destroying the sites and artifacts of other religions … are intended to create belief in the false historical narrative the Palestinians are trying to spread among the non-Jews, and even among the Jews” of no historical links between Jews and the site.

The statement was referring to periodic actions by the Islamic Waqf, which manages the Islamic mosque now on the mount, to do “construction” with heavy equipment and machinery in an “area rich with archaeological relics.”

AUGMENTED REALITY (AR) TAKING OVER VIRTUAL REALITY (VR) AS THE MAINSTREAM REALITY ONLINE GAMING WORTH $90BILLION BY 2020 - AS THE POKEMON CRAZE WORLDWIDE DRIVES THE REALITY HOME FOR GAME DEVELOPERS VIA THE SMARTPHONE

The explosive popularity of Nintendo and Niantic’s GPS-based mobile game “Pokemon Go” around the world, including South Korea, has thrust into the spotlight the core technology behind the game -- augmented reality.

So what exactly is augmented reality? It is a technology that overlays (or augments) digital images onto a person’s view of the world, merging one’s physical reality with a digital imagination. In the case of “Pokemon Go,” the app utilizes gamers’ real-world locations to make Pokemon characters appear on their smartphone screens at different places.


Though they sound similar, AR fundamentally differs from virtual reality, which completely immerses users in computer-generated worlds via a VR headset, transporting them out of the real world and into the virtual.

Until recently, it was mostly VR that had been widely touted as the core technology of the future, including in Korea. The explosive popularity of “Pokemon Go,” however, suggests that AR’s interactive characteristic makes it a more promising technology that may have wider mainstream appeal than VR could ever achieve.

“AR has been garnering the new spotlight as it allows users to interact with diverse aspects of the physical world in various ways (unlike VR, which diverts users from their reality),” Korea’s Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute said in a report released in February 2016.

“Whereas VR isolates users from the real world, AR merges the real world with virtual imagery to offer information rooted in reality. Given such real-life links, AR has potential for wider applications in fields including advertising, tourism, medical services, manufacturing, games and more,” ETRI said.

Given their inherent differences, the AR consumer market is forecast to hit $90 billion by 2020 while the VR consumer market will reach $30 billion by then, according to Digi-Capital, an AR and VR M&A advisor. It predicts the scale of the AR industry will surpass that of VR by 2019.

ROBOTS ROBOTS ROBOTS ARE HERE AS JAPAN AND CHINA LEADING THE WAY TO INTRODUCING ROBOTS AS PART OF ITS STAFF COMPLIMENT AS THE REST OF THE WORLD TO FOLLOW SUIT FROM HOTELS TO RESTAURANTS TO AIRPORTS AND TO HOME DELIVERIES

......Other Asia Pacific countries including Japan and China are currently leading the way in human-robot relations, however.
In Japan, robots staff the Nagasaki Henn-na Hotel almost entirely — just 10 humans watch over its 80 robotic workers — taking over tasks from checking in to storing goods in a “robotic cloak room”.
Robots are also used to deliver information in some Japanese banks, and Toshiba’s incredibly human-like Aiko Chihira staffs the information desk in a Tokyo department store.
In China, numerous robot-themed restaurants feature robots as waiters, kitchen helpers, entertainers, and even maitre ds.


The robotic staff members have limitations, however, and are unable to lift heavy dishes or place the food in front of diners.
Curtin University lecturer Dr Eleanor Sandry said human-robot interactions were still far from perfect — “we’ve seen robot waiters being fired for spilling the soup” — but could improve with greater research.
“There are certainly challenges to getting robots in those roles to act flexibly,” she said.
“They have to learn to be able to deal with new situations.”

THE DEMOCRATS WAY OF RUNNING THE ECONOMY WITH LOWER EXPECTATION SINCE THE POTUS BHO THESE 8 YEARS- THE FAR GONE DECADE OF CLOSE TO ZERO GROWTH - AS THE GDP HAS BEEN ON AVERAGE 2% IN THE LAST 8 YEARS IN OFFICE, A DISMALL RECORD OF A LEGACY - THE NO BUSINESS SENSE EXPERIENCE IS TOO MUCH REVEALING AND NOW THIS RUN UP TO THE NEW POTUS 2016 ARE WE TO EXPECT ANYTHING DIFFERENT FROM THE SAME LEFTIST DEMOCRATS WHO WANTS THE REIGN OF POWER AGAIN

The U.S. economy expanded less than forecast in the second quarter after a weaker start to the year than previously estimated as companies slimmed down inventories and remained wary of investing amid shaky global demand.
Gross domestic product rose at a 1.2 percent annualized rate after a 0.8 percent advance the prior quarter, Commerce Department figures showed Friday in Washington. The median forecast of economists surveyed by Bloomberg called for a 2.5 percent second-quarter increase.
The report raises the risk to the outlook at a time Federal Reserve policy makers are looking for sustained improvement. While consumers were resilient last quarter, businesses were cautious -- cutting back on investment and aggressively reducing stockpiles amid weak global markets, heightened uncertainty and the lingering drag from a stronger dollar.

“We’re just muddling through," said Joseph LaVorgna, chief U.S. economist at Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. in New York, who had forecast a 1 percent gain in second-quarter GDP. “Consumer spending looks good, but the problem is that the rest of the economy is soft. The economy remains vulnerable to downside risks. The Fed is right to be cautious."

MICROBEADS IN COSMETIC PRODUCTS THE SIZE FROM 10 MICROMETERS TO 5 MILLIMETERS MAY FIND ITS WAY INTO THE FOOD CHAIN VIA FISH

......Microbeads are tiny plastic pieces normally found in toothpastes, facial cleaners, scrubs and other cosmetics, often marketed for exfoliation.

These beads are from 10 micrometers to 5 millimeters in diameter, compared to a human hair that is normally a size of 100 micrometers in diameter.

Too small to be filtered, they pass through water purification systems and flow into oceans where marine life can eat them, mistaking them for food.

The composition of microbeads often includes polyethylene (PP), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polymethlyl methacrylate (PMMA) or nylon, which are not degradable and take at least several decades to dissolve.

Approximately 360,000 microbeads particles are contained in an average 170ml facial cleaner sold in the market, while at least 20 million tons of these plastic pieces end up in the ocean each year, according to United Nations Environment Program data in 2014.

The dangers are not just exclusive to human life who can find these in their food sources.

A 2015 study listed on the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America found that nine out of 10 seabirds around the world are likely to have tiny plastic pieces in their stomachs.

Data from the Korea Women’s Environmental Network also showed that every 2.5 in 10 fish -- such as planktons -- here were found to contain plastic wastes inside their stomachs.

“These plastic pieces find their way through sewers and into the sea where they are easily eaten by all sorts of marine animals,” said Park Tae-hyun, a campaigner at Greenpeace Korea......
