A new form of misinformation is poised to spread through online communities as the 2018 midterm election campaigns heat up. Called “deepfakes” after the pseudonymous online account that popularized the technique – which may have chosen its name because the process uses a technical method called “deep learning” – these fake videos look very realistic.

Greenhouse gas emissions of hydropower in the Mekong River Basin can exceed those of fossil fuel energy sources
alphagalileo – 04 March 2018 Aalto University
Hydropower is commonly considered as a clean energy source to fuel Southeast Asian economic growth. Recent study published in Environmental Research Letters finds that hydropower in the Mekong River Basin, largest river in Southeast Asia, might not always be climate friendly.
The median greenhouse gas (GHG) emission of hydropower was estimated to be 26 kg CO2e/MWh over 100-year lifetime, which is within the range of other renewable energy sources (<190 kg CO2e/MWh). The variation between the individual hydropower projects was, however, large: nearly 20% of the hydropower reservoirs had higher emissions than other renewable energy sources and in several cases the emissions equalled those from fossil fuel energy sources (>380 kg CO2e/MWh).
The study concludes that hydropower in the Mekong cannot be considered categorically as a clean energy source; instead, the emissions should be evaluated case-by-case together with other social and environmental impacts.

Sexy talking,

U.N. calls for Myanmar generals to be tried for genocide, blames Facebook for incitement
AUGUST 27, 2018 / 2:39 PM / Stephanie Nebehay / 9 MIN READ
GENEVA (Reuters) – Myanmar’s military carried out mass killings and gang rapes of Muslim Rohingya with “genocidal intent”, and the commander-in-chief and five generals should be prosecuted for the gravest crimes under international law, United Nations investigators said.
A report by investigators was the first time the United Nations has explicitly called for Myanmar officials to face genocide charges over their campaign against the Rohingya, and is likely to deepen the country’s isolation.

Plans always change.

The true nature of John McCain’s Heroism
New Yorkers – By James Carroll – July 21, 2017
“He’s not a war hero,” Donald Trump said two years ago, speaking at a Republican Party candidates’ forum in Iowa. “He’s a war hero because he was captured. I like people who weren’t captured.” Trump’s insult to Senator John McCain—and, by extension, to every American P.O.W.—drew a gasp of rebuke from across the political spectrum. The initial indignation, however, did not last; in hindsight, it seems one of the final instances of a broad cultural unity that now seems lost to this country forever.
Prayer 513
Jesus,
How can I see you,
hear you
and touch you?
I want to see you,
hear you
and touch you.
How do I love you with all my heart
and with all my soul
and with all my mind?*
Amen.

Probe ordered into handover of Hmong royal palace to gov’t department
VNE – By Viet Tuan August 21, 2018 | 10:06 am GMT+7
Vietnam authorities have agreed to “look into” how the former Hmong royal family’s palace was handed over for use to a local culture department.
The decision came following angry demands by the family in the northern highlands’ Ha Giang Province.
Vuong Duy Bao, grandson of the last Hmong King, Vuong Chi Sinh (or Vuong Chi Thanh, 1886-1962), wrote a letter to Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc last month asking for the century-old palace to be returned to the family.
A throwback to Saigon’s original tramway network
Saigoneer.com – Published on Monday, 05 December 2016 11:06
Written by Tim Doling.
As ever-increasing levels of traffic congestion and air pollution turn many of Ho Chi Minh City’s road junctions into choking bottlenecks, many hopes are pinned on plans to construct a new urban railway network in the southern metropolis. Yet urban railways are hardly a new concept in this city, which was once home to one of Southeast Asia’s largest urban tramway networks.
Indochina’s first mechanized rail-guided transportation system was the one-meter gauge Saigon–Cho Lon “high road” steam tramway, operated by the Societe Generale des Tramways a Vapeur de Cochinchine (SGTVC) and opened to the public on December 27, 1881.
Prayer 512
Jesus,
What happened in Bình Thuận, in Hà Tĩnh and in other places in VN?
How many troublemakers are against VN in other parts of the world,
and how many in our country are dumb enough to listen to and run with them?
Where will protests happen in 2020?
Bình Thuận and Hà Tĩnh again?
Please protect our country.
Keep our people in peace.
Amen.
