By Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx. The People’s Republic of China and Iran have announced an agreement that is a direct challenge to the punishing U.S. sanctions against Iran and strikes back against the economic war on China. China will invest $400 billion in Iran over 25 years for infrastructure and other purposes. Iran will supply China with oil for its growing econ- omy. Both countries have been targeted by U.S. economic sanctions, and this is an agreement to forcefully bust the sanctions. The Xxxxx White House has carried forward a reactionary and punishing foreign policy from previous administrations. Sanctions that cause starvation and deprivation in targeted countries have become a favored weapon for U.S. imperial- ism, and were responsible for more than 1 million deaths in Iraq after the 1991 Gulf War. Xxxxxxx campaigns and gunboat diplomacy have become stock in trade for the White House and the Pentagon. Now Iran and China are drawing their own line in the sand. The sanctions against Iran were increased when the Xxxxx administration pulled out of a deal struck between the U.S. and Iran during the Obama administration. Iran had been developing a nuclear energy program to alleviate the domes- tic burden on petroleum reserves and free up pe- troleum for export. As part of its ongoing aggres- sion and slander, the U.S. government accused Iran of building a nuclear weapons program. The Obama administration negotiated a deal with Iran that it said was to limit the processing of uranium to levels that couldn’t be used for nucle- ar weapons. In reality, the agreement also limit- ed low-level processing of uranium. What the U.S. was targeting was in fact Iran’s attempt to ease the economic suffering caused by the sanctions by selling petroleum on the world market. Sanctions mean hunger, shortages In return for these nuclear limitations, Wash- ington was supposed to ease the sanctions. The additional sanctions imposed when Xxxxx broke the agreement are far worse than anything in the 40 years of U.S. animosity toward the Iranian Revolution, and are actually causing hunger and shortages of medicine and other vital supplies. The Xxxxx administration says that it wants to reinstate the nuclear agreement, but is insisting that Iran comply with all the restrictions first. In the meantime, none of the 240 sanctions imposed by Xxxxx have been reversed. Iran, with China’s support, is demanding that the sanctions be eased first, to finally get some relief for the people.

At approximately 6:55 a.m. on Nov. 7, Whitewood Fire Department (WFD) was dispatched seven miles south of town on Highway #9 for a single vehicle rollover with en- trapment.

The driver and lone occupant of a vehicle was able to free himself from his seatbelt but was unable to get out of the truck. As a result, firefighters had to remove the front windshield and use a battery powered ram to create an opening in the front to allow the driver to be removed. He was then checked by EMS and transported to hospital for further examination.

PRINCE XXXXXX — Approximately 70 people of vari- ous denominations braved the weather — which included rain, sleet, wind, thunder and lightning — to participate in the annual Good Friday Outdoor Way of the Cross sponsored by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Prince Xxxxxx. Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx, X.Xxx., began the procession from city hall. Various stops were made in the downtown core. Here re- flections were made and prayers were said for all those who are suffering with addictions, mental health issues, homelessness, and also for the missing indigenous women and children. “Good Friday is a reflection on the purpose of life and how we are living our present situation — how we love one another. That is really what this day is all about,” the xxxxxx commented. The procession concluded with the last station being back at city hall. Afterward, all joined togeth- er to recite the Lord’s Prayer and to exchange the sign of peace. When asked about the signifi- cance of this walk, P.A. diocese Evangelization and Catechesis director Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, one of the event organizers, said that “there is nothing of human suffer- ing that Xxxxxx does not under- stand.” Xxx Xxxxxxxx XXXXXX XXXX — With the Roman Catholic Diocese of Saskatoon still awaiting the appointment of a xxxxxx, Xxxxxx Emeritus Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx, OMI, presided at the annual diocesan celebration of the Chrism Mass at the start of Holy Week, April 10.

The retired xxxxxx also led the reaffirmation of priestly service by priests from across the Saskatoon diocese.

By Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx. Note: This article does not attempt to provide a complete summary of all IETF activities in this area. It reflects the author's personal perspective on some current highlights. I happen to have an architect's mind. Looking at the network of today, I strongly feel the pain of the current architecture's cracking and squeaking. Consequently, I believe that we - the wider IETF community responsible for Internet technology - need to re-think the architecture. We need to find a way to re-create the core of the Internet in a way that leads to a new era of innovation and intellectual prosperity. The highlight of my IETF64 meeting in Vancouver was that I started to see signs of interest and activity in the broader community to pursue such a goal. Thinking about the architecture is not easy. The existing, real, out-there Internet architecture is no more the simple one that the founders designed it to be and that many of us wish it still was. We all know that. What we perhaps don't consider very often is the fact that there are huge asset values embedded in various parts of the network. As the slower-than-expected migration to IPv6 has amply demonstrated, some parts of the current Internet are painfully hard to change. This makes any long-term architectural thinking and planning difficult. Any change requires a reason to overcome the associated hurdle. Consequently, I have found it very instructive to try to think about the network and protocols in terms of assets, incentives, costs, and benefits. Whether we like it or not, every design decision we make embeds value propositions into the system. Basic understanding of micro-economics helps us to understand which assets are harder to change, what kind of incentives and disincentives we need to design into our protocols, and what likely benefits there are that may justify the cost of any change. For example, stateless protocol design [1] and client puzzles [2] have been known in various forms for a number of years. They help in resisting certain kinds of bad traffic by increasing the sender's cost compared to the recipient's cost, thereby providing a direct incentive for their adoption. However, they are still rarely used, presumably because many protocol designers fail to see their benefit, perhaps because they do not really understand the underlying micro-economic mechanisms. More recently, a wider community of computer science researchers and economists have started to pay more attention to these issues, resulting i...
