1…………> The Scent Of Eros & Aphrodite: Greece
 

For the first time, an ancient scent takes its place among the treasure of antiquities next to sculptures of Eros and Aphrodite at the National Archaeological Museum in Athens, after chemists used oil formulas referenced in the works of Dioskourides and Theophrastos and later studies focusing on the ancient technique of aromatic oil production.

 

“We started the infusion of the wild olive oil, we mixed it with nutsedges. Then we flavored the formed oil with rose petals and colorized it with the root of alkanna,” Korres explained.

 

According to Korres, the final scent is absolutely original, and it takes one back to something primitive and fresh which is the rose, with two more scents, are being unveiled and take their place in the museum in the coming months, the coriander, and the sage.

Seven people have been killed and nearly 300 injured after Guatemala’s Fuego volcano erupted, officials say.

The volcano, about 40km (25 miles) south-west of the capital Guatemala City, has been spewing black smoke and ash into the sky.

Flows of lava have reportedly struck at least one village, causing deaths and injuries.

People have been evacuated from several areas and the capital’s La Aurora airport has closed.

President Jimmy Morales said a national emergency response was under way.

The head of the National Disaster Prevention Authority Sergio Cabañas told a local radio station that a river of lava had changed course towards a small town.

“People have been injured, burned and killed. Evacuations and searches are underway,” he said, quoted by Reuters.

A total of about a million people have been affected by the eruption, the Guatemalan government says.

Officials have advised citizens to wear masks due to falling ash, which has been raining down in four of Guatemala’s administrative regions.

3…………> PLA Air Force: Deliberate, Experienced & Obedient
The “Shenwei” unit of PLA long-distance aviation in the words of veteran pilot Wang Aiping, and his co-pilot Wei Xing, gives us a window of the degree of precision and hard work pilots and support crews go in piloting H-6K nuclear-capable bombers that have been observed landing on the “artificial” islands of the deeply contested South Chiba sea.

4…………> Money Laundering: “Down Under”
CBA Newsroom

✔@CBAnewsroom

 

 CBA CEO, Matt Comyn on AUSTRAC settlement: “Our agreement today is a clear acknowledgment of our failures and is an important step towards moving the bank forward. On behalf of Commonwealth Bank, I apologize to the community for letting them down.”

4:28 PM – Jun 3, 2018

The settlement of $530 million dollars came after court-ordered mediation between the country’s biggest bank and the country’s financial intelligence agency, the Australian Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre (AUSTRAC), for “serious and systemic non-compliance” with anti-money laundering and terror financing rules following Deutche Bank and a long list of US and EU banks that have used the very loose Central Banks monetary policy to procure tens of thousands of suspicious transactions and failed to adequately report them to authorities, allowing criminals and terror financiers to launder millions of dollars through CBA accounts.

1…………> Handcuffs After ICE Broom: 7-11 Stores

Hundreds of U.S. immigration agents flooded out to nearly 100 7-Eleven convenience stores nationwide, arresting 21 people suspected of being in the country illegally and giving owners a tight deadline to prove other employees are authorized to work.

“Today’s actions send a strong message to U.S. businesses that hire and employ an illegal workforce: ICE will enforce the law, and if you are found to be breaking the law, you will be held accountable,” ICE Deputy Director Thomas Homan said in a statement.

2…………> The DACA Prisoners: Congress

San Francisco District Judge William Alsup  blocked US President Donald Trump’s administration from phasing out DACA, the Obama-era immigration policy that allowed young undocumented individuals who had arrived in the US as children to be given work permits and a renewable two-year period of deferred action for deportation, a decision based on a contradicting tweets by the president supporting the program.

On September 5, Trump tweeted: “Does anybody really want to throw out good, educated and accomplished young people who have jobs, some serving in the military? Really!”
Following the opinion expressed above, on September 6 Mr. Trump tweeted: “Congress now has 6 months to legalize DACA (something the Obama Administration was unable to do). If they can’t, I will revisit this issue!”

In his recent ruling, Judge Alsup wrote, “We seem to be in the unusual position wherein the ultimate authority over the agency, the Chief Executive, publicly favors the very program the agency has ended.

4…………> A Fallen Star: Steve Bannon

Alt-right superstar Steve Bannon, the mysterious “conservative brain” hailed as the mastermind behind President Donald Trump’s victories, was forced to step down from his post at Breitbart due to pressure from not only Trump supporters, but also powerful “string pullers” from the wealthy Mercer family.

Bannon’s legend was blown up in the sky by the 16 inch guns of USS heavy cruiser “Donald Trump” over the treacherous statements cited in the new trashy “Fire and Fury” book by “gadfly” gossip columnist Michael Wolff, a book reportedly full with erroneous omissions, exaggerations and outright lies.

If this was not enough “self made” trouble for Bannon, it was followed by a rift with his very powerful financiers from the the conservative Mercer family, which had played a key part in his rise to power.

The break-up became abundantly clear last week when Rebekah Mercer publicly distanced her camp from Bannon after his remarks on Donald Trump Jr.

“My family and I have not communicated with Steve Bannon in many months and have provided no financial support to his political agenda, nor do we support his recent actions and statements,” she said, pledging her support to “President Trump and the platform upon which he was elected.”
