-Lurid Crime Tales-
Florida teen charged after allegedly posting image involving guns, asking directions to ‘nearest school'
[FoxNews] A Florida teen was arrested on a felony charge after allegedly posting pictures of himself online with what appeared to be a rifle, handgun and tactical vest, and a threatening message.

The Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office announced Monday that their detectives received a tip about the images, which they said included the caption, "Hey Siri, directions to the nearest school." Detectives investigated and learned the weapons were not true firearms but airsoft guns, the sheriff's office said.

"This type of threat is unacceptable. This man intentionally instilled fear into our community as a sick joke, but be warned, this is no laughing matter," Sheriff Chad Chronister said in a statement. "We will do everything within our power to apprehend, and pursue charges on those who make school-based threats. Protecting students is our greatest priority. We take school threats very seriously, if you see something suspicious, please contact us immediately."

That day, officers located and arrested Corey Anderson of Lutz, Florida, located outside Tampa. Anderson now faces a charge of written or electronic threats to kill, do bodily injury, or conduct a mass shooting or an act of terrorism, a second-degree felony that carries a punishment of up to 15 years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000.

Anderson was placed into custody upon his arrest on Sunday. Records show he was released Monday on a $7,500 bond.

When I saw a "Group of Men"
and not a "Group of ______ Men" I pretty much knew the attackers were not White.

What I Watched of the video clearly showed at least 2 Black Racist A-Holes showboating and getting off on physically attacking a weaker Asian Male.

Not 2 citizens detaining a Subway Perv for police arrest.

Global monkeypox threat upgraded to 'moderate' by World Health Organization amid fears virus will jump to animals and never be eradicated
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • The UK Health Security Agency confirmed 71 new cases in today, bringing the UK total since May 6 to 179
    How many of ‘em went to that recent Gay Pride festival in Spain, or have interacted with someone who has?
  • WHO said outbreak is 'moderate risk' because clusters have been reported in different places simultaneously

  • The outbreak, which was first detected in early May, has spread to 24 countries and struck 106 Britons

  • The UN health agency said risk from the virus 'could become high' if it spreads to more vulnerable groups

  • WHO said surge in infections suggests virus 'may have been circulating unrecognised' for weeks or longer

  • There are growing concerns that monkeypox will spill into wild animals and never be eradicated
    I’m confused. Doesn’t monkey pox come from an animal reservoir, which has never been eradicated?

#2  Maybe there will be one of him playing with fire. If there is a video of him peeing the bed, I will take a hard pass. Perhaps the FBI could spare some assets that are bugging parents, trying to organize kidnappings and surveil Trump supporters and have them profile some sociopaths. If they are surveilling us illegally, at least they could do a better job of it. Please feel free to hassle anyone who tortures animals. Collect their DNA. Also the pedo’s and soon to be rapists. Stop the political stuff and protect us better. You don’t need new powers to do it, as you are already breaking the law facilitating corruption on the regular. Stop one of these school shootings before they happen.

More than 4,000 arrested in Amhara as Ethiopia cracks down on militia
[Garowe] Æthiopia has launched a sweeping crackdown against an influential armed militia in its Amhara region that has led to the arrest of more than 4,000 people, including journalists, activists, and a former general.

The militia group, known as the Fano, played a key role alongside the federal military in beating back November’s southward advance through the Amhara region by the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF), which is fighting an 18-month-long civil war against the government and its allies.

Since then, the TPLF has retreated to its northern home region of Tigray, and the government has made attempts to disarm and demobilize the Fano militia, leading to a series of festivities with regional security forces.

#7  Re: #2 and #3, thanks Skidmark, yhat was informative!

I notced the following statement from the second article above:

"It is important to note that baby formula is highly toxic and does not in any way resemble actual human breast milk. Most of it is loaded with health-destroying ingredients like corn syrup solids, high-fructose corn syrup, and various soy derivatives."

so it is looking like goat milk maynot be so bad after all.

Based on the first article, it seems that Almond Milk and and maybe boiled Cream Of Wheat, over cooked grit ( add a cup or so more water than normal) or watery rice porridge would be a good substitute for breast mil

YMMVk.

#8  Remember the state WIC (women, infants, children) programs subsidize formula, et al. Welfare chits issued for formula are black-marketed(can I say that?) for cash or traded for drugs. So the subsidized manufacturing demand drops.

North America's largest dairy goat farm is 10 miles to my east. Polar Hills Dairy Goat Farm.

Incredibly rich and almost no one is allergic to it. Even people who can't eat regular cheeses because of migraines can eat goat cheese.

The time has come to be not separate, not fragments, but a single whole. Ukraine showed by its example why this is important. In our country, since February 24, there has been maximum unification, everyone is working for one result - to protect the state. And thanks to this, something that the world did not expect was possible: Ukraine stopped the Russian army - and everyone was afraid of it, remember? - and was able to release part of its occupied territory. Greater unity is the foundation of this strength. And you know it. Finally, any divisions in Europe, internal disputes, which only encourage Russia to put more pressure on you, must stop."

19:53 Today, about 95% of the Luhansk region is under Russian occupation. Severodonetsk and Lysichansk are the last major settlements in the region under Ukrainian control.

Propaganda concludes that the Red Cross covered the Azov Regiment in the cultivation of militant nationalists from childhood, planned to launch the process of mass transplantation of children's organs for sale and promoted the activities of biolaboratories.

"All this would be funny, but do not forget that it is the Red Cross that is an active intermediary of humanitarian missions in Mariupol, in particular, in Azovstal.

This is personal data."

Both France and Ukraine proceed from the fact that the idea of ​​a European political union is not what -an alternative for the future membership of Ukraine in the EU, is not some special solution for Ukraine.You already know how tired we are of some half-measures, special approaches, separate models that are constantly invented in individual countries in order to prevent Ukraine from being a candidate ... I am very grateful to my colleague, who reasonably explained that this idea is not some kind of alternative, a third solution, but a pan-European process that will make both Ukraine and the EU stronger."

We implement them on an ongoing basis, maintaining the priority of deliveries to the Polish market."

Of course, these people are found, they are worked with, but their destructive activity complicates the process of liberation."

12:26 Canada will help Ukrainian women who have suffered from sexual violence by the occupiers to receive all the necessary assistance, including access to abortions. The assistance will include assistance in moving from Poland, where abortion is prohibited, to other countries in order to terminate a pregnancy. This was announced by the Minister of National Defense of Canada Harjit Sajjan. According to him, he has already ordered that Canadian officials working in Ukraine and neighboring countries conduct all the necessary preparations.

12:22 The SBU military counterintelligence thwarted the FSB's special operation to discredit the OSCE. According to the press service of the SBU, the Russian special services in the occupied territories forcefully beat out testimony from OSCE employees that they were allegedly spying for the SBU.

When the enemy "If he can't capture the highway, he just fires at it. In general, the situation in the region is difficult, the shelling does not stop, but the enemy has no success, he is in his positions." The most difficult situation is in Avdeevka, Toretsk, Liman direction, Bakhmut and Soledar.

In total, since mid-April, the invaders have buried at least 16 thousand Mariupol residents in mass graves - near the villages of Stary Krym, Mangush and Vinogradnoye. About 5,000 more people were buried by public utilities until mid-March. Under the rubble, in spontaneous cemeteries and in temporary morgues, thousands of bodies still remain.

"We estimated the number of dead Mariupol residents at 22,000. But more and more evidence suggests that the consequences of the crimes of the rashists are much worse. This requires special attention of the world community, as well as the horrific situation of the local population in the occupation," said the mayor of Mariupol Vadim Boychenko.

11:47 The war between Russia and Ukraine may drag on significantly, while the aggressiveness of the actions of the Russian Federation will increase, Borrell said in an interview with France Info.

11:26 Russia has created the first filtration camps for Ukrainians in the area of ​​the crossing points of the state border of the Russian Federation with Estonia. Now the Russians, when identifying Ukrainians who are trying to cross the border and for whom there is evidence that they received the status of refugees from the war, deliver them to such a filtration camp, said Petr Andryushchenko, an adviser to the mayor of Mariupol.

Residents of Mariupol, who came to such a camp for the first time two weeks ago, say that the camp in the Bezymenny "DPR" looks like "child's play" compared to the Russian border one. Andryushchenko urges Ukrainians who are trying to escape Russia to use other routes, in particular through Belarus and Georgia.

11:23 Russia is moving troops to the borders in the Kursk region. According to Governor Roman Starovoit, "a large number of personnel of the Ministry of Defense" were sent to the territory of the region after shelling allegedly from the Ukrainian side: "Additional weapons have already arrived and are arriving in the form of artillery installations, rocket launchers to ensure the safety of citizens' lives."

11:21 NATO at its summit on June 28-30 plans to adopt a strategic concept for the alliance, which will guide it over the next decade. As the Italian representative to NATO, Francesco Maria Talo, said, China will appear in the new concept and the attitude towards Russia will change: and hybrid safety, as well as climate change."

Also at the summit in Madrid, NATO members will discuss the war in Ukraine and the membership of Finland and Sweden.

Three ambulances left for the scene, among the wounded was Evgenia Zaitseva, the daughter of Balitsky's late brother Oleg.

In addition, according to preliminary data, two women and a young man were injured. After the explosion, the central square of Melitopol was cordoned off. It is here that the authorities occupied by Russians and collaborators are located. Probably, the undermining was the work of the Zaporizhzhya partisans.

The command of the Western Military District has already ordered the forcible eviction of several families of servicemen from the 332nd Separate Helicopter Regiment of the 6th Army of the Air Force and Air Defense from service apartments.

10:39 NATO may no longer comply with previous obligations to refrain from deploying its forces in Eastern Europe, since Russia has violated the agreements, said the deputy secretary general of the alliance, Mircea Joanne. In his opinion, the attack of the Russian Federation on Ukraine has deprived of any sense the founding act of NATO-Russia, which describes the principles of cooperation. There is no dialogue between the parties.

"They made a decision, they pledged not to attack their neighbors, but they do it, and to hold regular consultations with NATO, but they don't. Therefore, I think that in fact this constituent act is not actually effective because of Russia," said Joan.

According to him, Russia has effectively withdrawn from the 1997 treaty: "Now we have no restrictions to have a strong position on the eastern flank and ensure that every square inch of NATO territory is protected by Article 5 and our allies."

10:23 Ukraine handed over to Erdogan's adviser a list of ships by which Russia is trying to take out the stolen Ukrainian grain and other goods, the leader of the Crimean Tatar people, Mustafa Dzhemilev, said. According to him, the Turkish side was informed that the Russian Federation transports goods stolen in Ukraine, including through the ports of Turkey, "although four years ago it was decided that no ships visiting ports in the occupied territories, primarily in Crimea, could be accepted and serviced in the ports of Turkey".

Dzhemilev said that a list of ships was handed over to Turkey, on which wheat stolen from the Kherson region was loaded, and they exported it through the ports of Turkey and tried to sell it to Turkey, Syria and Egypt. "We agreed that they would take it under control," Dzhemilev added.

10:16 All sanctions against pipeline oil have been removed from the new version of the sixth package of anti-Russian sanctions, reports Brussels correspondent of Radio Liberty Rikard Jozwiak. According to him, the sixth package of sanctions will apply to crude oil, as well as oil products - "with a temporary exception for crude oil supplied through the pipeline."

10:13 French Foreign Minister Catherine Colonna announced that she had arrived on a visit to Ukraine.

09:46 Ukrainian saboteurs are behind the explosion in Melitopol, RIA Novosti was told in the "administration" of the Zaporozhye region and stressed that "it is necessary to strengthen anti-terror measures." Two people were hospitalized after the explosion.

09:35 In the Luhansk region, cars with volunteers and doctors came under fire. As the head of the Luhansk OVA Serhiy Gaidai said, a car with two volunteers was shot, they were wounded. Also lost contact with three doctors. There is a photo of the car, where you can see that the front of the minibus is torn.

Gaidai also said that it is now dangerous to use the Lisichansk-Bakhmut highway, safer options for evacuation and transportation of humanitarian cargo are being used.

09:33 Germany will change the constitution to create a special defense fund in the amount of 100 billion euros, writes Reuters. The project appeared after the Russian invasion of Ukraine. According to him, within two years, the German defense budget will grow by 50 billion euros. This will allow the country to meet NATO's targets of spending 2% of GDP annually on defense.

09:32 A powerful explosion thundered in the center of Melitopol. The media write about an explosion in the area of ​​the shopping center Kvartal, where the high-rise building of the "governor" of the Zaporozhye region, Yevgeny Balitsky, is located. According to RIA Novosti, citing a source in the "administration" of the city, three people, according to preliminary data, were injured in a car explosion in the center of Melitopol.

09:30 The General Staff announced the estimated losses of the enemy on the morning of May 30. The enemy suffered the greatest losses over the past day in the Zaporozhye direction.

  • personnel - about 30,350 (+200) people liquidated,

  • tanks - 1349 (+11),

  • armored combat vehicles - 3282 (+12),

  • artillery systems - 643 (+12),

  • MLRS - 205 (+2),

  • air defense systems - 93 (+0),

  • aircraft - 207 (+0),

  • helicopters - 174 (+0),

  • UAV operational-tactical level - 507 (+3),

  • cruise missiles - 118 (+2),

  • ships/boats - 13 (+0),

  • automotive equipment and tankers - 2258 (+18),

  • special equipment - 48 (+0).

09:25 Arestovich announced the defeat of the enemy ammunition depot in Chernobaevka for the 22nd time. According to him, the detonation lasted at least an hour.

09:23 During the night, the Russians fired at the border areas of the Sumy region four times with rockets, MLRS, self-propelled guns and mortars, said the head of the OVA Dmitry Zhivitsky. According to preliminary information, there are no casualties, the destruction is being specified.

09:16 British intelligence reports that Russia probably suffered huge losses among middle and junior officers. The reason is that brigade and battalion commanders are most likely to move forward into danger, since they bear uncompromising responsibility for the actions of their units.

Due to a lack of manpower, junior officers direct the lowest level tactical actions. All this will exacerbate the current problems in modernizing the approach to command and control, analysts say. Therefore, the Russian battalion tactical groups that are recreated in Ukraine from the surviving units are likely to be less effective due to the lack of junior commanders. In addition, there are local rebellions among the Russian forces.

08:44 The Crimean mobile operator has earned in the Kherson region, said the "deputy head" of the region Kirill Stremousov.

08:30 Artillery and the Russian Aerospace Forces are targeting Ukrainian grain warehouses and fields, reports France 24. Moreover, the strikes are accurate: on a small but critical bridge near the port, on a grain loading station, on a cattle shed. Confirmed attacks include multiple mines in sown fields preparing for harvest, rocket attacks on silos and cattle feeding grounds, shelling of convoys with grain (both wagons and entire trains), the abduction and removal of Ukrainian agricultural equipment and grain.

France 24 calculated that Ukraine is losing a significant part of its agricultural capacity due to these strikes, which is about 10% of GDP.
Holodomor 2.0?
08:23 The Russians entered the northeastern and southeastern outskirts of Severodonetsk, two citizens were killed, five were injured. Also, two residents of Sirotinoye were seriously injured, said the head of the Luhansk OVA Serhiy Gaidai. According to him, the invaders are transferring large quantities of ammunition and equipment to the Severodonetsk direction.

"Heavy battles for Severodonetsk and Lisichansk. The enemy used all possible weapons, uses aircraft. However, our military holds the defense firmly to prevent the enemy deep into the country," Gaidai wrote.

08:15 Enemy artillery fired again at the Kryvyi Rih region, they hit the Zelenodolsk and Apostolovsk communities, people were not injured, said the head of the Dnipropetrovsk OVA, Valentin Reznichenko.

07:53 At night and at dawn, the Russians launched two missile strikes on the Odessa region, tried to get into a broken bridge across the Dniester estuary, but got into a previously broken path, OK Pivden reports. The shock wave damaged several private houses, there were no wounded or dead.

Also, the representative of the Odessa OVA, Sergey Bratchuk, said that a unit of anti-aircraft missile forces destroyed an X-type cruise missile fired by a Russian strategic bomber in the direction of the Black Sea in the Odessa region.

07:40 In the Slavyansk direction, enemy units are regrouping troops to resume the offensive in the direction of Izyum - Barvenkovo, Izyum - Slavyansk. In order to increase efficiency, the invaders restored the railway bridge near the city of Kupyansk, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reports in the morning report .

In the Donetsk direction, the Russian army focused on conducting offensive operations with the aim of cordoning off the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the areas of Lysichansk, Severodonetsk and blocking the main logistics routes.

In the Liman direction, the enemy is entrenched in Liman, is regrouping for an attack on Slavyansk. On Severodonetsk - it is fixed on the northeastern and southeastern outskirts of Severodonetsk. In the Bakhmut direction, the invaders are regrouping for a further offensive in the direction of Alexandropolye - Kamyshevakh.

05:15 Anonymous hackers said they hacked Belarusian government websites "for involvement in the invasion of Ukraine."

04:33 The American Institute for the Study of War (ISW) suggests that the counteroffensive of the Ukrainian defenders in the Kherson region will violate Russia's plans to control the occupied territories in the south.

Analysts also report that the Russians continued the assault on Severodonetsk on May 29, but did not have a confirmed advance, and their progress will be slow. The Russian army in eastern Ukraine, which aimed to capture the entire Luhansk and Donetsk regions, is now almost entirely concentrated in Severodonetsk.

Experts believe that Russian forces are unlikely to be able to conduct multiple simultaneous operations and are likely to further deprioritize advances southeast of Izyum and west of Liman in favor of concentrating existing forces on Severodonetsk.

The invaders also continued offensive operations to cut Ukrainian land lines of communication northeast of Bakhmut and are unlikely to attempt a direct attack on the city.

04:16 Blinken called Lukashenka an accomplice in Russia's war against Ukraine: "On the Day of Solidarity with Belarus, we remember the suffering caused by the actions of the Lukashenka regime - the suppression of human rights, ignoring international norms and complicity in the war of Russia against Ukraine."

03:51 The occupiers fired at the New Bug of the Nikolaev region late in the evening, there is significant destruction in the city center, the City Council reported.

03:42 Lavrov said that France plays one of the initiative roles "in inciting Ukrainian nationalism, neo-Nazism." According to him, Paris is actively arming Kyiv, including with offensive weapons, "demands to wage war to a victorious end", "to defeat Russia." "This only means that all our many years of appeals to the West with a call to negotiate on an equal footing were not only not heard, but deliberately ignored," the Russian Foreign Minister said.

02:36 In Kharkov, on May 29, the creation of a new division of the Azov Special Operations Forces was officially proclaimed. Anatoly Sidorenko became the commander. The fighters of the unit are already performing combat missions in the Kharkiv region.

01:45 President of Poland Andrzej Duda confirmed in an interview with CNN that his country is ready to become a security guarantor for Ukraine: "Vladimir Zelensky asked me if I agree that Poland should be one of the security guarantors of Ukraine. We believe that, as neighbors, we simply obliged. Therefore, if Ukraine offers us to be the guarantor of security and the guarantor of peace when the war is over, and if such terms of the peace treaty are accepted - yes, Poland will participate in this."

Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[RIA Novosti] In the Kharkiv region, punitive raids are being carried out against the SBU suspected of pro-Russian sentiments, said Colonel-General Mikhail Mizintsev, head of the National Defense Control Center of Russia.

"In the Kharkiv region, militants of the Kraken nationalist unit, formed mainly of radicals and rapists and murderers released from prisons, carry out punitive raids, during which the so-called death squads break into the houses of local residents at night, suspected by the SBU of pro-Russian sentiments, expose them to physical violence and taken away in an unknown direction," the general said.

He stressed that dozens of city residents did not return home after such actions, there is no information about their fate.
The head of the NCUO also pointed out that such criminal actions by the Ukrainian authorities demonstrate the inhuman attitude of the regime in Kiev towards its own citizens and complete disregard for international norms of humanitarian law.

The Artemovsk-Lysichansk supply route has actually been cut off - due to tight fire control, it is practically impossible to use it in the interests of supplying troops - cars and equipment are simply destroyed on the route. The Armed Forces of Ukraine have to make do with the bypass road Artemovsk-Seversk-Lysichansk.

08:48 A total of 300 volunteers from Primorsky Krai getting ready for a trip to the Donbass.

08:08 The Ukrainian army fired on Makiivka from heavy artillery - DPR.

Ukrainian soldier's heroic last stand against Russian troops who have killed everyone else in his trench is caught on video in bloody fight for Donbas
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • The harrowing drone footage was taken earlier in the war in the skies over Novotoshkivske, in Luhansk region

  • A lone Ukrainian defender took on a squad of pro-Russian separatists after they killed other soldiers in his unit

  • He fought valiantly and gave his team more time to retreat, but was ultimately killed by several grenades

  • His heroic but brutal end epitomises the bitter close-quarter combat now taking place in Severodonetsk

  • Severodonetsk is the last city in Luhansk under Ukrainian control and is the epicentre of the fighting

  • Russian troops have entered the city but fighting is progressing street by street amid artillery barrages

Meanwhile the EU is meeting today to discuss yet more sanctions against Russia, including an oil embargo

#1  Evolution of a propaganda campaign, MI6 / Daily Mail style:

1 - Stupid Russians! Look how many tanks we destroyed! Ha ha ha!!

2 - Brutal Russians! Look at all the civilians they killed! S-s-s-s-s!!!

3. Ukrainians are outgunned and outnumbered!

4. Gallant Ukrainians -- valiant even when being completely destroyed! Victory in defeat!

Next: change the subject. Uvalde! NRA! Trump!

For the uninitiated, "cockroach" is the Azov Nazis' preferred epithet for the Russian-speaking Donbas citizens whom they have been terrorising used to terrorise. Used to, before those Azov Nazis surrendered or were killed at Mariupol -- what the Daily Mail laughably called the "evacuation" by Ukraine after their "mission concluded."

#7  Back on earth... Severodonetsk is surrounded. Ukrainian resistance is collapsing. Lysychansk will fall next.

US General Mark Milley is calling for negotiations as what Gen. Milley argues is "the logical outcome" based on the military situation today. Biden ruled out any shipment of long range weaponry.

It's basically over. Negotiations must begin soon, or else all of Ukraine's east and south will be completely devastated.

Me? I have no idea, though I hope — should the time come — that I would be as useful as my parents and grandparents (and all but one of the boy cousins — Cousin Robert rode Mama’s bike past the SS office in Amsterdam and was never seen again. Neither was the bike) were when war was thrust upon them. On the other hand, though Rantburg is a warblog, not a milblog, quite a few here see events through the lens of personal experience.

*Correction: He fought. He's dead.

Yes, but how many did he make casualties before he succumbed? In this war between two countries with shrinking populations, both winning and losing are Pyrrhic. And China’s population is also shrinking, so even if they are the last of the three left standing, their triumph will not be measured in centuries.

#18  THE VEGETABLE SPEAKS!

So the New York Times Editorial board demanded that the Biden Administration define exactly what it was willing and unwilling to do for and in Ukraine...and now, something called "Joseph R. Biden, Jr." pens a NYT op-ed piece!

This is really funny.

Also disgusting. Ron Klain or Ben Rhodes or someone on Avril Haines's staff penned this DIRECT CONTRADICTION of everything Joe the Moron has been blathering for weeks.

Read it and laugh (or weep, as you choose):

"We do not seek a war between NATO and Russia. As much as I disagree with Mr. Putin, and find his actions an outrage, *** the United States will not try to bring about his ouster in Moscow. ***

"So long as the United States or our allies are not attacked, we will not be directly engaged in this conflict, either by sending American troops to fight in Ukraine or by attacking Russian forces.

" *** We are not encouraging or enabling Ukraine to strike beyond its borders. We do not want to prolong the war just to inflict pain on Russia *** ."

You lying sack of shit.

Battle of the supercomputing titans: US's Frontier overtakes Japan's Fugaku to become fastest in the world – breaking the 'exascale barrier' for the first time
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]

First exaflop supercomputer is in the USA

[ZDNet] US-based Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL)'s Frontier system has been declared as the most powerful supercomputer and the "first true exascale machine" by the 59th edition of the Top500 global supercomputer list.
American made by American companies.
Based on the HPE Cray EX235a architecture and equipped with AMD EPYC 64C 2GHz processors, the system features more than 8,730,000 cores and surpassed the one exaflop barrier with a High-Performance Linpack (HPL) score of 1.102 exaflops. The supercomputer is currently being integrated and tested at the ORNL where it will be operated by the Department of Energy.

By taking the top spot, Frontier knocks Japan's Fugaku system, which has held the number one ranking for the last two consecutive years, to number two as it continues to hit a HPL benchmark score of 442 PFlops.

"Considering the fact that Fugaku's theoretical peak is above the one exaflop barrier, there's cause to also call this system an exascale machine as well. However, Frontier is the only system able to demonstrate this on the HPL benchmark test," according to the list.

Rounding out the top three is newcomer Finland's Lumi system -- another HPE Cray EX system and Europe's largest system -- that has a performance of 151.9 Pflops using just over 1,110,100 cores.

The Top500 also welcomed the addition of France's Adastra system -- the second most powerful machine in Europe and third HPE Cray EX system on the list -- to the 10th position, after it achieved an HPL benchmark score of 46.1 Pflops.

#7  #5 - ever try FoldingatHome?

When the PS3 came out someone discovered the power of those systems linked together could help when you're not using them. Also because of that, the PS3 was banned for certain countries which might be interested in such computer power. On September 16, 2007, due in large part to the participation of PlayStation 3 consoles, the Folding@home project officially attained a sustained performance level higher than one native petaFLOPS, becoming the first computing system of any kind to do so. Originally, players were recruited for folding proteins on their system in cancer research. Now its been expanded to cover additional systems and venues.

China falls short on big Pacific deal but finds smaller wins
[AnNahar] China fell short Monday on a bold plan to have 10 Pacific nations endorse a sweeping new agreement covering everything from security to fisheries as some in the region expressed deep concerns.

But there have been plenty of smaller wins for China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi as he continues an island-hopping tour of the region. Wang was in Fiji to co-host a key meeting with the foreign ministers from the 10 island nations.

At an unusual news conference afterward, Wang and Fijian Prime Minister Frank Bananarama Bainimarama spoke for about 30 minutes and then abruptly left the stage as news hounds tried to shout out questions. That left many details of what transpired at the meeting undisclosed.
