Deaf Community Rallies to Decry Interpreter Layoffs
by Christine Stuart June 29, 2016, 8:09 pm January 21, 2021, 6:51 pm

The deaf community wanted to make sure their voices were heard Wednesday when they rallied outside a state office building in Hartford in support of 35 state interpreters who were laid off this week.
The 35 interpreters and five clerical workers from the Department of Rehabilitation Services were the latest casualties of the state budget.
The Department of Rehabilitation Services informed the entire group of state employees Tuesday that they were being laid off. It means there's no more public interpretation services available to the deaf and hard of hearing community.
Morag MacDonald is an APRN who relies on interpreter services to do her job and communicate with people who can hear.
"I was furious," MacDonald said. "I rely on these services every day."
During Wednesday's rally, MacDonald said she has had to hire uncertified interpreters from private providers who have failed to provide the same quality as the state interpreters.
In a medical setting it's important to be able to communicate and that's why she called the U.S. Department of Justice, who referred her to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
It's also important in an educational setting.
Dylan Alers, 12, said he's been using state interpreters throughout his life. He said the quality of the interpreters matters to him because he wants to be a lawyer.
The quality of services presented a life-or-death situation for his mother, Liza Alers, who is also deaf. When Liza presented at the emergency room in excruciating pain, the interpreter they called was unable to properly convey that pain to the doctor and was unable to convey what the doctor was saying back to her.
She said it wasn't until she woke up after surgery that she discovered they removed her appendix.
Gov. Dannel P. Malloy's administration tried to downplay the elimination of the services.
They said the services the clients receive won't change, they will just be funneled through another agency.
James Cusack, one of the state interpreters laid off this week, said there is only one other agency that provides services and it's in Bridgeport. He said if the state is no longer charging for interpretation services, then it won't be making any money on those services.
The Malloy administration said it costs the state about $100-per-hour, including fringe benefits, to provide the services, at the same time as it's only charging $55-an-hour to hire the interpreters.
The administration said that the change will save the state at least $30 per hour.
Private providers charge about $60-an-hour for these same services, so it's likely the cost of these services will increase for the deaf community, according to the administration.
AFSCME Council 4, the union that represents the interpreters, said the Malloy administration's was quoting an inaccurate figure for their members' salary and benefits.
"Our highest paid interpreter makes $37.17 per hour," Larry Dorman, a spokesman for AFSCME Council 4, said. "Even if you accept a 100-percent benefit cost, which is high, the total hourly cost to the state is less than $75 per hour — less than what many private providers would charge. The real issue is the governor cares more about hedge fund managers and insurance CEOs than he does the deaf and hard of hearing."
Rep. Cathy Abercrombie, D-Meriden, who co-chairs the legislature's Human Services Committee, said the decision to lay off the interpreters is an "ill-advised" budget cut that will end up costing taxpayers in the long run.
Abercrombie said they passed legislation in 2015 to require state agencies to use the Department of Rehabilitation Services interpreters first because "the state employee interpreters cost taxpayers less money."
She said she understands the state's dire fiscal challenges, but the elimination of these services won't benefit anyone.
Tammy Batch, another interpreter who was laid off, said the state has a legal and moral responsibility to provide these services.
She said the decision to cut them is devastating to her and the entire deaf community.

Austrian coalition pledges face veil ban, curbs on foreign workers

VIENNA: Austria's coalition government promised on Monday to ban Muslim face-covering veils and to restrict eastern European workers' access to the labour market, in a package of policies aimed at countering the rise of the far-right Freedom Party.
The anti-Islam Freedom Party (FPO) has topped opinion polls for months, boosted by the influx of more than a million migrants into Europe in the past two years and concerns over their impact on jobs and security. Last month the FPO candidate came close to winning Austria's presidential election.
With a parliamentary election due next year, Chancellor Christian Kern of the Social Democratic Party (SPO) hopes the package will provide fresh impetus to an eight-month-old coalition widely seen as ineffective.
"We agreed that we must work faster and more clearly," conservative Vice Chancellor Reinhold Mitterlehner told a joint news conference with Kern outlining their 35-page plan.
"It is now up to us to do what governing parties do, namely implement the program."
The deal included a ban on Muslim veils such as the burka and niqab, which cover all or most of the face, and said a more general ban on civil servants wearing religious symbols was in the works.
"We believe in an open society that is also based on open communication. Full-body veils in public spaces stand against that and will, therefore, be prohibited," the agreement said.
Mainly Catholic Austria is home to around 600,000 Muslims in a total population of about 8.7 million.
-UNEMPLOYMENT-
The conservative People's Party, the junior coalition member, obtained tougher measures on security, including the electronic tagging of former jihadists.
The SPO opposed its call for a lowering of an annual cap on asylum claims, agreeing instead to strengthen existing border controls in general and to support measures such as greater incentives for voluntary deportation.
The deal also included a requirement that 30 per cent of a company's supervisory board members be female and a plan to make foreign multinationals, particularly online companies, pay the same tax on advertising revenue as newspapers.
Unemployment in Austria has been steadily rising but is still relatively low at 5.9 percent, under a harmonised EU measure.
Earlier this month Kern proposed returning to a system that gave local workers priority for jobs in sectors that employ a high number of people from poorer eastern European member states. The system was in place provisionally from 2004 to 2011 after many ex-communist countries joined the bloc.
The coalition agreement said the government would push for the European Commission to allow a similar system, supporting a "reduction of and limit on labor force migration".
Brussels is unlikely to accept such a system, however, as it clashes with the fundamental EU principle of free movement of people.

El río Colpi o río Panqueco o Panquilco es un corto curso natural de agua que nace de la confluencia del río Traiguén y el río Quino en la Región de La Araucanía, fluye en dirección oeste y se junta con el río Lumaco para formar el río Cholchol.

Trayecto

Aunque el río Colpi es un río de corto trayecto, sus afluentes alcanzan a drenar aguas desde las laderas del volcán Tolhuaca.

Caudal y régimen

La subcuenca del río Cholchol, que comprende su hoya hidrográfica con sus principales afluentes: río Purén, río Lumaco, río Traiguén, río Quino y río Quillén, tiene un notorio régimen pluvial, con importantes caudales en los meses de invierno. En años lluviosos los mayores caudales ocurren entre junio y agosto, producto de importantes lluvias invernales. En años normales y secos los mayores caudales también se deben a aportes pluviales, presentándose entre junio y septiembre. El período de menores caudales se observa en el trimestre enero-marzo.

Historia

Francisco Solano Asta-Buruaga y Cienfuegos escribió en 1899 en su obra póstuma Diccionario Geográfico de la República de Chile sobre el río:
Colpí.-—Río del departamento de Traiguén de mediano caudal. Se forma de la unión del Traiguén y del Quino, á ocho ó nueve kilómetros al SO. de la ciudad del primer nombre, desde donde corre pausadamente, y va á desembocar en la izquierda del río de Lumaco por los 38° 22' Lat. y 72° 55' Lon., á 28 kilómetros al S. del fuerte de este nombre y poco más de esta distancia hacia el SO. de aquella ciudad; formando ambos desde su confluencia el río Cholchol. Su título es contracción de co y lipi, agua de plumas, según el P. Febres.

Q: Python, Zope Component Architecture, Registering an adapter In a stand-alone python application I use zope.interface, zope.component packages to register and access application's adapters.
I thought I could use metaclass concept to register adapters from inside init method of the metaclass. This would "automate" adapter's registration process. Do you see problems with this approach, e.g. using attributes that zope package adds to a class? Thanks in advance for your input.
from zope import component
from zope.interface import Interface, implements

class MetaclassAdapter(type):
    def __init__(cls, clsname, bases, attrs):
        super(MetaclassAdapter, cls).__init__(clsname, bases, attrs)
        component.provideAdapter(cls, cls.__component_adapts__, cls.__implements_advice_data__[0][0])

class IDocument(Interface):
  """Document interface."""

  def title():
    pass

  def author():
    pass

  def content():
    pass

class IPrinter(Interface):
  """Printer interface."""

  def write():
    """Print instance to ..."""

class Printer(object):
  """Adapt instances that provide IDocument interface to IPrinter.
  Print document's attributes to stdout.
  """

  __metaclass__ = MetaclassAdapter
  implements(IPrinter)
  component.adapts(IDocument)

  def __init__(self, context):
    """Store adapted instance that provides IDocument."""
    self.context = context

  def write(self):
    """Serialize document."""
    print 'author: ', self.context.author()
    print 'title: ', self.context.title()
    print 'content: ', self.context.content()

class TextDocument(object):
  implements(IDocument)

  def __init__(self, author, title, content):
    self._author = author
    self._title = title
    self._content = content

  def title(self):
    return self._title

  def author(self):
    return self._author

  def content(self):
    return self._content

# Create instance of TextDocument and store / serialize it to...
IPrinter(TextDocument("Leo T.", "Short Stories", "Once upon a time...")).write()

A: Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.
Registering the adapter is a single line of code outside the class, so I would just do that instead of tucking the behaviour in a metaclass.
Explicit is better than implicit.

A: Edit: go with @Tobu's advice, Don't Do This. My answer below is incorrect but left in place for completeness sake. It is incorrect because the zope.interface.implements metaclass shuffle hasn't processed the interface info as yet.
I think the approach is certainly sane. You do not need to pass in the provided interface or the adapted specs to provideAdapter, the registration method will figure those out as long as there is only one interface implemented:
class MetaclassAdapter(type):
    def __init__(cls, clsname, bases, attrs):
        super(MetaclassAdapter, cls).__init__(clsname, bases, attrs)
        component.provideAdapter(cls)

If you want to support classes that implement more than one interface (by direct declaration or via inheritance) you'll have to come up with semantics to determine what interface gets selected as the adapter target interface.
In that case simply give the selected interface to registerAdapter via the provides= keyword parameter. I would advise you to use the zope.interface introspection APIs (zope.interfaces.implementedBy) to find the provided interfaces rather than directly grabbing them from the internal datastructures on the class.

Senate Blocks Increased Stimulus Checks For Americans After Bill Passes In House Of Representatives
By Amy Wadas December 29, 2020 at 5:26 pm
Filed Under:Amy Wadas, Coronavirus, COVID-19, Local News, Local TV, President Donald Trump, Senator Bob Casey, Senator Pat Toomey, Stimulus Checks, U.S. House of Representatives, U.S. Senate
PITTSBURGH/WASHINGTON (AP/KDKA) — Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell on Tuesday blocked Democrats' push to immediately bring President Donald Trump's demand for bigger $2,000 COVID-19 relief checks up for a vote, saying the chamber would "begin a process" to address the issue.
Last night, the House of Representatives voted to give eligible Americans $2,000 — something President Trump is pushing for.
A two-thirds majority was needed for the bill to pass in the Democratic-led House — and that's also what was needed for it to pass in the Senate before making it to the President's desk.
Pennsylvania's Senators appear to be split on the idea of raising the amount of checks.
Republican Senator Pat Toomey released a statement on Tuesday, saying:
In the spring, our country's economy was in shambles. Businesses were forced to close and millions of workers were unable to make a living. Universal direct payments made some sense then because such a huge percentage of Americans had lost income.
Thankfully, the unemployment rate has been cut by more than half since April and the economy is now rapidly rebounding. The acute problems that remain are now largely concentrated among workers in the hospitality, travel, and entertainment industries. Now, we need targeted assistance for these workers. Congress provided expanded unemployment benefits and grants to small businesses to cover payroll obligations in the recent COVID relief bill to help in this effort.
This targeted assistance is far more effective, efficient, and appropriate than large universal payments to people who had no lost income. Blindly borrowing or printing another two-thirds of a trillion dollars so we can send $2,000 to children, the deceased, and tens of millions of workers who haven't missed a paycheck, like federal and state employees, is not sound economic policy nor is it something I am willing to support.
While he has not provided an official statement, Democratic Senator Bob Casey posted a tweet on Dec. 23, suggesting he is in favor of $2,000 payments.
If we had a Democratic Senate, you would have more money in your pocket today. https://t.co/vVtuG7Wv1k
— Bob Casey Jr. (@Bob_Casey) December 23, 2020
His office also released a statement on Tuesday, saying:
Majority Leader McConnell has twice blocked a vote on Democrats' bill to put $2,000 in the pockets of struggling families. The House passed this measure by an overwhelming bipartisan majority. The same could happen in the Senate if Majority Leader McConnell would get out of the way.
The House vote came just one day after President Trump signed the sweeping coronavirus relief bill into law Sunday night.
President Trump wasn't happy with the $600 payments included in that bill and continued to urge Congress to increase the amount of the payments to $2,000.

CDC urges flu vaccinations amid mounting H1N1 illnesses
With several weeks or more remaining in a particularly deadly influenza season, U.S. health officials on Thursday urged flu vaccinations for everyone over the age of 6 months, including pregnant women.
"Influenza can make anyone very sick, very fast and it can kill," said Dr. Tom Frieden, director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. "Vaccination is the single most important thing you can do to protect yourself."
This year's illnesses have been caused predominantly by the H1N1 virus — the same "swine flu" strain that caused the pandemic in 2009.
Although officials say the prevalence of flu-related illness this season appears to be lower than in 2009, preliminary reporting suggests that it has killed or hospitalized more young and middle-aged adults than usual — particularly those with existing health problems.
In studies released Thursday, CDC epidemiologists said that based on a national sampling of 122 U.S cities, 61 percent of all flu-related hospitalizations involved adults between the ages of 18 and 64. In the past several years, this rate has been much lower — 35 percent to 43 percent.
While it remains unclear exactly why hospital admissions have increased among young and middle-age people, officials note that they are traditionally the least likely people to seek annual flu vaccinations.
Health officials estimate that only 34 percent of people between 18 and 64 get annual flu shots, while the vaccination rate for people over 65 is 62 percent. The vaccination rate for youths aged 6 months to 17 years is 41 percent.
"This season is hitting middle-age and younger adults hard and the season is likely to continue for some time," Frieden told reporters. "It's not too late to get a flu shot."
Each year, health officials formulate a vaccine that will address those viral strains that are expected to be most active. In this case, they accurately predicted the return of H1N1 and included it in the vaccine.
Although officials insist vaccination is the best, first-line defense against influenza, they acknowledged that some people who get the vaccine will still get ill.
"This year's flu vaccine is working," Frieden said. "It's not working as well as we wish it would."
In reports released Thursday, CDC officials estimated that the vaccine was 62 percent effective.
"That means if you were vaccinated, you are quite likely to be protected from the flu viruses that have been circulating this season," said Dr. Anne Schuchat, assistant surgeon general and director of the CDC's National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases.
"There's a lot of myths and misinformation out there," Schuchat said. "It doesn't cause flu, but some people worry that it might … the CDC recommends that everyone 6 months and older get a flu vaccine and that includes pregnant women."
In cases where people experienced serious flu symptoms, whether they were vaccinated or not officials urged the use of antiviral medications, which are prescribed by a doctor.

Księgi złoczyńców (łac. libri maleficorum) – nazywane też "księgami czarnymi" lub "księgami smolnymi". Pojawiły się w Polsce pod koniec XV wieku. Były prowadzone głównie przez sądy miejskie, a także przez niektóre działające z imienia starostów królewskich sądy grodzkie. Za ich spisywanie odpowiadał pisarz miejski. Zawierały wyłącznie zapiski ze spraw karnych. Były to z reguły sprawy o większym ciężarze gatunkowym czyli zabójstwa, kradzieże, włamania, rozboje, akty świętokradcze, czarnoksięstwo, przypadki recydywy i podpalenia. Występowały obok innych ksiąg sądowych takich jak księgi wójtowskie, ławnicze i księgi grodzkie.

Treść ksiąg złoczyńców
Księgi złoczyńców zawierały najczęściej dokładny zapis całego przebiegu postępowania sądowego. Można było w nich znaleźć wypowiedzi stron, zeznania świadków, zeznania oskarżonego i orzeczenia sądu. Pojawiały się też informacje kiedy i gdzie odbywał się proces, nazwiska sędziów. Często podawane było w nich również imię ojca oskarżonego. Informacje zawarte w księgach złoczyńców miały ułatwiać zwalczanie przestępczości. Posiadały walor urzędowego dowodu prawdziwości zapisanej w nich informacji uzyskanej w toku procesu inkwizycyjnego lub w późniejszych latach skargowego.

Duży wpływ na treść ksiąg złoczyńców miało też to, gdzie i kiedy zostały napisane. Ich treść zmieniała się, gdy miasta, w których były spisywane były przejmowane przez zaborców podczas rozbiorów Polski. Widać to choćby w drugiej Księdze złoczyńców sądu kryminalnego w Wiśniczu, w której po I rozbiorze zaczęła dominować austriacka procedura sądowa.

Miejsca spisywania
Księgi tego rodzaju prowadzono w Bieczu, Dobczycach, Grodzisku Wielkopolskim, Krakowie, Krzemieńcu, Miechowie, Nowym Sączu, Nowym Wiśniczu, Poznaniu, Przemyślu, Sanoku, Żywcu i w wielu innych miejscach.

Wartość badawcza
Księgi czarne pozwalają na bliższe poznanie reguł oraz praktyki wymiaru sprawiedliwości w nowożytnej Polsce. Dużo informacji dostarczają zeznania poszczególnych oskarżonych, które z reguły są bardzo drobiazgowe. Ujawniają środowisko, w którym obracał się oskarżony. Dostarczają informacji, gdzie podróżował, z kim współpracował czy kto był jego paserem. Są też wiarygodnym źródłem z ówczesnego życia codziennego. Na kartach przewijają się ludzie z różnych środowisk i warstw społeczeństwa dawnej Polski – szlachta, mieszczanie, służba dworska, chłopi, wojskowi, żydzi oraz ludzie marginesu. Informacje zawarte w księgach pozwalają poznać ich motywy i mentalność.

Batman (1943) – Chapter 13: Eight Steps Down
Action, Columbia, Douglas Croft, Drama, J. Carrol Naish, Lambert Hillyer, Lewis Wilson, Review, Serial, Shirley Patterson, The Sphinx Club, Thriller
D: Lambert Hillyer / 14m
Cast: Lewis Wilson, Douglas Croft, J. Carrol Naish, Shirley Patterson, William Austin, Charles C. Wilson, Warren Jackson, John Maxwell, Gus Glassmire
Having managed to avoid the collapsing basement ceiling coming down on him, Batman ensures Linda isn't trapped anywhere in the burning Ajax Metal Works before getting to safety. Instead of heading for home, he checks with Captain Arnold (Wilson) to see if the Sphinx Club has been raided and one of Daka's men, Bernie (Jackson), has been picked up. Learning that Bernie is still at large, Batman returns to the Sphinx Club where he discovers Bernie in a hidden room. Bernie is taken back to the Bat Cave where he lets slip that the one place Batman doesn't want to investigate is the hideout where Chuck White was taken. Meanwhile, Linda is taken to Daka's lair where he threatens to turn her into a zombie unless she helps him lure Bruce Wayne into a trap. At the secondary hideout, Batman and Robin discover an underground tunnel that leads to Daka's lair. While Linda is being turned into a zombie, Batman falls through a trap door and into a room with large spikes on opposing walls. Soon, the walls are closing in, sending Batman to certain death…
And there it is folks, the final stretch is in sight – at last. After so many episodes where the Caped Crusader and the Boy Wonder escape certain death only to retire to the Wayne home to wait for the next clue to fall into their laps, now, in Chapter 13 they finally take the initiative. Batman even takes the opportunity to criticise Captain Arnold ("Wasn't very smart of you to take their word against mine") when told the men caught in the Sphinx Club raid denied knowing anyone called Bernie. This new, proactive Batman is a pleasure to meet at long last, and this is the first installment where Wilson and Croft don't get to don their civvies as Bruce and Dick. It's also the episode where Robin's involvement appears deliberately curtailed and he's sidelined in favour of Batman leading the action (he goes into the Sphinx Club alone; in the underground tunnel, Robin is sent back for a crowbar). Meanwhile, Daka has nearly finished assembling his new radium gun, Uncle Martin is used as a threat to induce Linda to aid Daka, and the racism of the time gets a fresh outing when Linda's first words on meeting Daka are, "A Jap!"
It's an episode that, despite its short running time, feels like a proper installment, one that advances the somewhat precariously handled – up til now – plot, and one which has the vitality and energy of the Colton/radium mine chapters (ahh, those were the days). The various scenes have a punchy, determined quality, as if everyone involved can see the home stretch now and want to get there as soon as possible. It's as if someone – the writers, Hillyer, the Columbia brass themselves – said, "come on, let's put this serial to bed," and the challenge was accepted (gladly). Even the usually tedious scenes where Daka monologues fiendishly, but to little avail, here actually see him behaving threateningly and to good effect. Naish hasn't always been able to avoid chewing the scenery, but here he employs a quietly disturbing menace to the role that makes him seem like a worthy villain. Wilson benefits too. Without having to play either Bruce or Chuck White as well as Batman, Wilson is more forceful and single-minded. And Hillyer shows that he's regained some of the verve and energy that he's brought to earlier installments. It all bodes well for the last two chapters, though there's still the question, just how is Batman going to survive this time…?
Rating: 7/10 – a huge improvement on the last few chapters (even if a few narrative leaps and bounds are employed to achieve this), Chapter 13 sees the serial rise from the doldrums with an urgency that can only mean the end is in sight; with Batman having relied too much on filler up until now, it's a relief to see that it will, in all likelihood, be like this until Daka's plans have been thwarted once and for all.

Strayer Education and Capella Education said on Monday they have agreed to merge in a $1.9 billion deal that will create one of the country's largest's for-profit college companies.
The universities, which primarily offer online degrees and together will reach some 80,000 students across all 50 states, will continue to operate as independent and separately accredited institutions.
The deal will be structured as a stock-for-stock merger. After the transaction, Strayer shareholders will own approximately 52% of the combined entity and Capella shareholders will own the remaining 48% of the company.
The companies are both publicly traded and shares of Strayer rose 7% in morning trading, while shares of Capella jumped 27%.
The combination is expected to achieve certain cost efficiencies at the corporate level, which the companies said should help them offer more affordable degrees and improve career prospects for students.
For-profit colleges have come under fire for peddling pricey degrees and still frequently leaving students with dim career and earnings prospects. According to one Senate report, 96% of students attending for-profit colleges took out student loans, compared to 13% at community colleges and 48% at four-year public colleges. Enrollments at these institutions have fallen steeply in recent years amid a regulatory and government crackdown, with major players like Corinthian Colleges and ITT Technical Institute forced to shut down.
However, for-profit stocks have rallied since Donald Trump was elected as president, with Strayer's stock gaining 49%. Earlier this year, the Trump Administration paused Obama-era regulations that would have made federal funding contingent on online university graduates earning a certain amount of income relative to their student loan payments.
Strayer, founded in 1892 and now worth about $1 billion, is geared toward working adults and offers online and in-person MBAs and other degrees and certificates. It partnered with longtime General Electric CEO Jack Welch in 2011 to introduce the Jack Welch Management Institute to students. The business program had previously been offered at Chancellor University.
The combined company will be based in Strayer's hometown of Herndon, Virginia and will be led by Strayer CEO Karl McDonnell. It will be renamed Strategic Education, Inc and its ticker symbol will remain STRA.
The deal has been unanimously approved by the board of directors at both companies and is expected to close in the third quarter of 2018. It is subject to customary closing conditions, including an approval by the Department of Education and state regulators.
Minneapolis-based Capella Education, which opened its doors in 1993, also offers online degrees primarily aimed at working adults. It's a smaller peer to Strayer, with a market capitalization of about $765 million and 37,600 students.
The companies said they plan to maintain a "significant presence" in Minneapolis, where Capella University's headquarters will remain as well as the combined company's IT staff. Capella CEO Kevin Gilligan will become vice chairman of Strayer and the company will be able to nominate three directors to a 12-person board.
The merger is expected to yield annual cost savings of roughly $50 million. By 2019, it should be accretive to Strayer's per-share earnings by approximately 20% to 25%.

Q: Shiny slide bar malfunctioning - sliderInput() I am very new on R Shiny, but I do have a question rerarding the sliderInput().
I am able to make the bar "work", but apparently it is not understanding the values min() and max() values correctly. Maybe I am missing something... Please note in the picture bellow that even though I am sliding the bar to don't show values higher than 0.1, I still have some polygons whit values higher than 0.1 appearing (image bellow).

Data, available on Google drive: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1qF9-8-e0Y6P5X_NUY5XI_AfMhESOJMN2?usp=sharing
Here it goes a reproducible example....

library(leaflet)  # renderLeaflet function
#library(spData)   # loads the world dataset

SU        = sf::st_read(dsn = "LinktoDataHere")

Thanks beforehand!

A: The problem si your use of the input in your data filtering. Your sliderInput is a range, so two values, but you filter it using it as it was a single value. Either you do not make it a range in the UI, or you filter it correctly in your server part. If it's a range, using a reactive value to create/modify your data on the fly is your best bet.
Also, your popup and your fill coloring were both looking into the complete SU dataset, not the filtered one. You need to use again your new reactive to get the right value:
library(shiny)    # for shiny apps
library(RColorBrewer)
library(leaflet)  # renderLeaflet function
#library(spData)   # loads the world dataset
SU        = sf::st_read(dsn = "SU.shp")
SU$lrmm_SU= round(SU$lrmm_SU, digits=3)
factpal <- colorFactor(brewer.pal(n = 4, name ="BuPu") , SU$lrmm_SU)

ui = fluidPage(
  sliderInput(inputId = "life", "Mixed effects predictions for SU",
              min(SU$lrmm_SU, na.rm = TRUE),
              max(SU$lrmm_SU, na.rm = TRUE),
              value = range(SU$lrmm_SU, na.rm = TRUE),
              step=0.1),
  leafletOutput(outputId = "map", width = "100%")
)
server = function(input, output) {

  data <- reactive({
    dat <- SU[SU$lrmm_SU > min(input$life), ]
    dat <- dat[dat$lrmm_SU < max(input$life), ]
    return(dat)
  })

  output$map <-  renderLeaflet({
    leaflet() %>%
      addProviderTiles("Esri.WorldGrayCanvas", group = "Gray") %>%
      addPolygons(data = data(),
                  stroke = TRUE,
                  fillOpacity = 0.5,
                  weight = 0.2,
                  opacity = 1,
                  color = "gray",
                  dashArray = "3",
                  fillColor = ~factpal(data()$lrmm_SU),
                  popup=paste0("Susc=", round(data()$lrmm_SU, digits=3)
                  )

      )})
}

To find these types of mistakes, I suggest you print your input in an observe(). It always helps figuring these little bugs!

He Hires The Best People
Your Office Of National Drug Control Policy
Look who's been appointed to help lead the Office of National Drug Control Policy: a 24-year-old recent college grad whose "relevant experience" appears to be organizing a benefit golf tournament.
Hey 'Murrica, if you're hoping the opioid crisis plaguing your rural areas is being taken seriously by Donald Trump, think again.
Trump has pledged to marshal federal government talent and resources to address the opioid crisis, but nearly a year after his inauguration, the drug policy office, known as ONDCP, lacks a permanent director. At least seven of his administration's appointees have departed, office spokesman William Eason said. Among them was the general counsel and acting chief of staff, some of whose duties were assumed by Weyeneth, according to a memo obtained by The Washington Post.
The official, who agreed to speak only on the condition of anonymity, said that Weyeneth has been primarily performing administrative work, rather than making policy decisions, and that he had "assumed additional duties and an additional title following staff openings."
One might almost think that the White House and Republican Party really aren't interested in addressing the opioid crisis at all. (One might have been thinking that ever since it was revealed that Republicans like Tennessee's Marsha Blackburn dismantled DEA oversight of drug companies at the height of the opioid epidemic. But I digress ….)
Young Weyeneth is an interesting character. Apparently his family owned a health food business that processed chia seeds and somehow got involved in an illegal Chinese steroid scam:
In the summer and fall of 2011, the firm was secretly processing illegal steroids from China as part of a conspiracy involving people from Virginia, California and elsewhere in the United States and one person in China, federal court records show. Weyeneth's stepfather, Matthew Greacen, pleaded guilty to a felony conspiracy charge last year and received two years probation and a fine.
Why is there always something fishy with everyone associated with Trump? Something involving prison time or federal charges? Even more bizarrely, Matthew Greacen is apparently a cousin of actor Alec Baldwin, who wrote the judge in this case on Greacen's behalf. Just can't make this shit up.
All of this is a sidebar to our story's main point, which is that Trump and the Republican Party really don't care about the opioid epidemic at all. That this is an epidemic perpetrated on the American people by pharmaceutical companies which profit handsomely from an addicted populace is, I'm sure, purely coincidental.

There's Something About Milo
Here's a weird story for you: Donald Trump's hedge fund moneybags the Mercers have embraced the odious Milo Yiannopoulos, apparently in an effort to "make conservatism cool." From Vanity Fair:
In 2012, they invested $10 million in Breitbart and then watched it turn into a blazingly offensive news organ for pro-Trump opinions; with the founding of Milo Inc. this year, they hoped to break into the next generation. "The interesting thing about the Mercers is that they're the only people on the right who fund anything that's cultural, which has always been the big weakness of the right and conservatism," said Internet conspiracy theorist Mike Cernovich, chalking it up to conservatives simply being bad at understanding culture, much less participating in it.
In this context, Milo Inc. can be viewed as the Mercer version of the conservative movement's oft-failed attempt to Appeal to the Youths. (Watch any Republican attempt to prove their hipness and the struggle is immediately clear.) In keeping with their goal to construct a parallel cultural universe, the Mercers, according to one person with direct knowledge of their fund-raising activities, were curious to see whether Yiannopoulos could create a media empire that could bring in younger voters, make money, and drive a wedge in the culture war.
I emphasized the "conservatives simply being bad at understanding culture" bit because, isn't an old white hedge fund billionaire using Milo Yiannopoulos to appeal to "the youth" the very embodiment of that? If you want to sell to the kids, shouldn't you find a cool person to do that? And is there anything even remotely cool about Milo Yiannopoulos? At all?
I realize I'm a little past my prime, but I do know and work with a lot of young people. Maybe I'm out of touch but Milo strikes me as the exact opposite of cool. His "brand" is self-serving, douchey, attention-whore narcissism — a gay, British Donald Trump, if you will. And yes, his anti-politically correct persona may be in sync with today's bootstraps conservatism, but will salt of the earth Midwestern kids really look to a fur coat wearing pedophilia apologist like Milo for their cultural cues? Not on your life.
This makes no sense to me, but I've been wrong before. And the Mercers are so rich, they can afford to drop $10 million on a bauble like Milo.

Marching Orders
Is Trump even trying to look like he's not a Putin puppet? Not that I can tell.
This was published on May 23 in Sputnik News, a Russian propaganda outlet:
Moscow has called on Washington to settle the issue of the "illegal" seizure of Russian diplomatic property in the United States in the latter days of the Obama administration in a constructive way, adding that if the problem isn't resolved, the countermeasures by Russia will follow.
In December President Obama had seized the two diplomatic compounds, saying they were used for intelligence gathering purposes. The move was retaliation for Russia's hacking the U.S. election.
And now, six months later, we have this:
The Trump administration is moving toward handing back to Russia two diplomatic compounds, near New York City and on Maryland's Eastern Shore, that its officials were ejected from in late December as punishment for Moscow's interference in the 2016 presidential election.
Just one week after Sputnik said Putin wants his Russian spy houses back, Trump is following his marching orders. But, no puppet, no puppet.

Hey, anyone remember "Travelgate," the nothingburger Clinton-era "controversy" over Bill Clinton's firing of seven people in the White House travel office? There was a special prosecutor assigned to the case and a House investigation. Travel Office Director Billy Dale was indicted for embezzlement but acquitted. The Clintons were cleared of wrongdoing, but it was the first big smear against the Clinton Administration and Hillary Clinton.
This was about firing people in the travel office. The fucking travel office. Fast forward to today and we have Donald Trump firing FBI Director James Comey who is investigating his campaign's ties to Russia and all we hear from Republicans is that they are "concerned."
I wonder what that means:
I wonder which definition of "concerned" applies to Congressional Republicans? I'm starting to think it's #3.
Look, I keep hearing from people that our institutions are strong enough to survive a Trump regime. With each day unleashing a fresh new hell on our democratic institutions — Twitter threats, cancelling press briefings, a new voter suppression scheme — it seems I must remind Republicans in Congress that you are the institution!
If you are an elected member of Congress, YOU'RE THE DANG INSTITUTION. Stop acting like our "institutions" are some building somewhere that you have no connection to. The U.S. Senate is an institution. The House of Representatives is an institution.
Stop sitting around with your finger in the air waiting to see which way the wind will blow. The wind is going to blow your ass out of office if you don't step up and do something.

How Democrats Can Work With Trump
First, how not to work with Donald Trump:
WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Heidi Heitkamp today announced she will vote for 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Neil Gorsuch to fill the vacancy on the U.S. Supreme Court.
This vote does not diminish how disturbed I am by what Republicans did to Judge Garland. …
Yes, actually, it does. It says you are 100% fine with the craven Republican gamesmanship that denied the last Democratic president his Supreme Court pick. It tells Republicans there are no consequences, only rewards, for such despicable acts. No matter how much you explain that you are outraged by what Republicans did to Merrick Garland (and she goes on for an entire paragraph reaffirming this dismay) you are signaling your approval of that action. Because even though you say,
There isn't a perfect judge.
… this isn't about the judge. It's about the process. The process cannot be allowed to be corrupted. So when you say,
Regardless of which party is in the White House, the U.S. Supreme Court should be above politics.
…. please understand, you are negating those very words by voting for this nominee, any nominee, save Merrick Garland.
So, that's how not to work with Donald Trump. But is there a way Democrats can work with him? Maybe. Because there's a whiff of desperation in the air. Stories like this one are appearing with increasing frequency. Trump's approval ratings are lower than Obama's ever were in 8 years. Trump wants — no, needs — a win. Not "needs" in the political sense, but "needs" in the psychological sense. His ego demands it. As Tony Robbins observed (correctly, in my opinion):
We were discussing false confidence, and you've sat down with Trump, so how would you characterize his level of narcissism? It does seem like its born out of deep insecurity.
It is. His entire life is "you win or you're nobody." You're seen and known. Even if people don't like you, though he'd prefer to be liked, people will know how you are and respect you. That mentality is a '40s/'50s subset that some people have that he was brought up with, and it is him. The level of obsession that he has about the media coverage he gets—if you go to his offices he's got a room stacked with magazines of everything he's ever done. I know it sounds absurd, but I feel for the guy in that at any moment, his entire identity can disappear if enough people are upset with him. I hope that he'll eventually adjust to a CEO mentality and be in a position where he wants to succeed so badly that he'll do something that's worthwhile. We'll see.
Trump needs a win. He started out siding with the extremist far right, but they've given him nothing but losses. Trump is now attacking the Tea Party "Freedom Caucus" publicly on Twitter. He's pissed off. He blames them for his epic losing streak. And he's sucking up to Democrats right now because if he couldn't get his win from the right, he'll try to get it from the left.
I know that makes a lot of people uneasy but please remember: Trump has no principles, no political ideology of any kind. His ideology is "Trump must win." It's really no more complicated or deep than that. I firmly believe that. This is a guy who has supported Planned Parenthood in the past. He once supported climate change action. He once supported salary caps on executives receiving bailout funds. He even once supported impeaching George W. Bush.
Trump is the quintessential fair weather president. He has no deeply held beliefs, no adherence to any ideology. He'll attach himself to whichever side gives him a win. Can Democrats use this to get some wins of their own? Maybe. It's worth a try. Hell, if things get bad enough, I wouldn't be surprised if Trump didn't come on board for single payer healthcare, as long as they called it TrumpCare! Okay, maybe that's a stretch, but the point is, Trump is desperate for a win, holds no political allegiances, and will work with whomever can give him a win. I can easily see Trump ditching the far-right policies Paul Ryan foisted on him and swinging back left. Not only do I see it happening, I could almost bank on it.
Even better, if Trump started working with the Democrats, how fast would House Republicans move to impeach him? The mind boggles.
Something to think about it and discuss.

Culling The Herd
A lot of us suffered severe post-election anxiety, myself included. More than a few sleepless nights were spent worrying fitfully about what will happen to our most vulnerable citizens. And on a few occasions I even had the thought — fleeting — that in this new America, only the strong will survive. I have a bum knee, I need to lose 20 pounds, I'm middle-aged. Is there a place for me in Trump's America? No, I decided.
If a gang of Trump thugs attacked me in a parking lot, could I fight back? Nope. My kickboxing days are more than a decade in the past. I haven't run a marathon in years. I need to go to the gym, work out, diet. I need to give up beer. Trump's America — Paul Ryan's America — is for the young and strong. The denizens of Crossfit and SoulCycle.
And then I thought … nah! I mean, look at Steve Bannon: more Baron Vladimir Harkonnen than Master Race, right? If this schlub can get away with an extra 30 pounds, so can I.
But not so fast. Turns out I was onto something:
This budget will make America a lean, mean fighting machine with bulging, rippling muscles and not an ounce of fat. America has been weak and soft for too long. BUT HOW WILL I SURVIVE ON THIS BUDGET? you may be wondering. I AM A HUMAN CHILD, NOT A COSTLY FIGHTER JET. You may not survive, but that is because you are SOFT and WEAK, something this budget is designed to eliminate.
This excellent piece of satire had me ROFLMAO and is definitely worth spending one of your Washington Post freebies reading (or just go ahead and get a subscription, you cheapskate. Support the goddamn journalism, already.) But after the laughs died down I remembered my November panic attacks about being old and fat and weak and I realized,
Oh my god. Alexandra Petri is right. They are culling the herd.
And it's not just Trump, it's the entire Republican Party. It's the entire ethos of conservatism: if you're poor or weak or sick, get outta the way. You're dragging the country down. You are dead weight on American greatness.
Trump Budget Cuts Put Struggling Americans on Edge
"I have lung cancer and it's the dead of winter," she remembers thinking. "What am I going to do?"
Help came in the form of a heating subsidy: money from the federal government, delivered by the Highland County Community Action Organization, a small nonprofit in rural southern Ohio, where Ms. Feltner lives.
Now, that program is on the chopping block. It is one of many cuts in President Trump's new budget proposal that would inflict the deepest pain on the most vulnerable Americans — a great number of whom voted for him.
Duh, lady. "What am I gonna do?" Die, of course. Don't you know that? Get with the program, honey. Stop holding the rest of the country back with your lung cancer and your poverty and your lack of winter heat. That's not American greatness! That's weak. So either stop being weak and sick and cold, or get the fuck out of the way.
Rural Areas Brace for a Shortage of Doctors Due to Visa Policy
While the Trump administration is fighting, in the courts of justice and public opinion, for its temporary travel ban affecting six countries, the slowdown in the rural doctor pipeline shows how even a small, relatively uncontroversial change can ripple throughout the country.
In Montana, for example, where nine counties do not have a single physician, it means Benefis Health does not know when a Romanian doctor trained in kidney transplants will arrive. The health care company spent months recruiting the doctor and had been expecting her in July.
"Our health system already has nine months invested in her, and now we have no idea when she can start," said Erica Martin, who recruits doctors for the company.
Sorry, Montana. Kidney transplants are for pussies. Do we have to make it more clear? People who need kidney transplants aren't great, they are reminders of weakness and failure and THAT CANNOT BE ALLOWED so die already and stop reminding us of what losers you are.
This one is my absolute favorite: a "veterans rights gun bill" that would remove 174,000 mental health records from the background check system. It basically reverses a Bush-era law passed after the Virginia Tech massacre. Keeping PTSD-afflicted veterans from committing suicide sounds like the kind of namby-pamby thing liberals and losers would do. In the Republican Party's "only the strong deserve Murrica" approach to public policy, Veterans considering suicide need to get on with it already – -and here's the gun to do it with. Y'all are dragging us down, man! Soldiers traumatized by war are weak! Didn't you get the memo? America doesn't do weak anymore! So go and do what you need to do and get the fuck out of the way because we've got Greatness to accomplish, you candy-assed wimp.
(I love that the bill was sponsored by Tennessee's own Rep. Phil Roe, by the way. An alleged "doctor.")
And of course there's this one:
Trump's NIH Budget Cuts Threaten a Serious Setback in Medical Research
This makes no sense until you realize that the point is to cull the herd and cures for cancer and other diseases are simply impeding that process. If you are sick, disabled, mentally ill, poor, unemployed, etc., then you should be about one thing: getting the fuck out of the way. By dying. If you aren't in the business of dying then you are dragging the country down.
Come on, America. Get busy living, or get busy dying. That's the fucking point.

Trump In Nashville
You Are My Hero
What a bizarre event.
Trump's campaign started robo-calling supporters in a four-county area 48 hours ago offering free tickets. The optics they were going for, of course, was, "thousands of people lined up to get in," which isn't as hard as it sounds when your venue is the Municipal Auditorium, not exactly the largest rink in town. However, they got the crowd they wanted: thousands of people were, indeed, lined up … all the way down James Robertson Parkway, all the way up to the state capitol, all the way around the building. I'm guessing there were 15-20,000, but I've heard other figures that are higher. Let it be said: most if not all of these folks could have fit inside the Titans' football stadium. But that wouldn't have provided Trump with the necessary ego-gratification that comes with a "standing room only/thousands turned away" narrative.
Several protesters made it inside the Municipal Auditorium, by the way. Some chanted "no ban, no wall," and got tossed out. Some turned their backs and left. One, a doctor, unfurled a banner and was ejected (but not arrested). Unfortunately, the coordination of the protest was poor so I'm afraid the message got watered down. Watching the televised speech, you could see something was happening that Dear Leader didn't like. Maybe other cities can learn from our experience and do a better job of planning and coordinating ahead of time.
As for me, I was out on the street with both supporters and protesters. Any delusions that this wasn't garden-variety bread-and-circuses were dashed by the dozens of pro-Trump merchandise tables outside (and huge Trump/Pence merchandise BUS, yes, it was a bus.) And from the looks of those selling the merchandise, not everyone submitted a head shot and full body shot.
As for the protest, again, there didn't appear to be a lot of coordination. Protesters were scattered until around 5:00 or so, when the protest crowd really started to swell. It's frustrating to me that there were so many different groups doing so many different things — there was the immigrants's rights group, the #Resist group, the women's group … people, can we not all talk to each other? Because nothing looks lamer than 30 people in pussy hats carrying Planned Parenthood signs through a crowd of 10,000 Trump supporters — especially when there were a couple hundred other pussy-hatted folks just a few blocks away, unaware of the march. Would have been nice if we all could have marched together, you know?
Also, it seems I must remind people once again that staying home and Tweeting about a protest is not, you know, the same as actually protesting. And here's a fun fact: you can Tweet from a protest! Really!
So I was a little disappointed in the protest, but I left around 5:45 pm. At that point I'd been walking around in the freezing cold for 2 hours and had a nasty windburn. I understand good vibes were shared later in the evening.
Below are some more pictures from the event:

4 Times In 29 Minutes He Didn't Mean It
He didn't mean it, according to Sean Spicer.
Even though he said it again, and again, and again. He still didn't mean it.
He didn't mean it in a box. He didn't mean it with some socks. He didn't mean it when on Fox. He didn't mean it, though he Tweeted it.
Not just once but FOUR times:
He didn't mean this one, either:
And five minutes later, he didn't mean this one:
… and he still wasn't over not meaning it, 10 minutes later:
Donald Trump is a liar, an idiot, mentally ill, or all three. How is anyone supposed to trust him on anything when we've been repeatedly lied to and then told the problem was OUR fault for listening to him?
This is one sick motherfucker.

I apologize, I've been remiss in posting. Believe me, it's not for lack of trying. I've started about a dozen posts over the past six weeks and every time, without fail, I've deleted them. They've all seemed inadequate to the task when compared to the absurdity of current events.
And not that I would put myself in the same company as our political press, but I do understand why they all fawned over Trump's address to Congress. It was like this collective sigh of relief that they could write about something normal for a change. Familiar ground at last! Terra firma. Was the speech good or bad? Whew! As opposed to today's headlines, which went something like,
I mean, my God.
None of this is normal.
Recently I was in New York City at a music club. A guy at the table behind me was talking in one of those loud, overheated voices men use when they're trying to impress their dates. It was hard not to hear him, and when it became clear he had worked for the Trump campaign, you'd better believe I listened in. He said,
"most of us in Andrew's office are pretty liberal Democrats…."
(Andrew being Cuomo, the governor of New York, I am guessing). But when the Trump campaign came along a bunch of them saw an opportunity because,
"…Stephen (Bannon? Miller?) came in and said how if the Democrats aren't going to be the party of working people, we might as well be…."
… as if the Trumpers give a shit about working people? Really? And so all of these folks who worked for the Democratic governor of New York were now finding roles in the Trump administration, principles be damned.
But our Boy Wonder is no dummy, even he could see what a shit show the White House is, so he was going try to find something in the AG's office. And how you can call yourself a liberal Democrat while working under Jeff Sessions is a complete puzzler to me.
I heard all of this on the earie, as they say, and it was all I could do to keep from turning around and asking Boy Wonder WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU? I mean, kids today, amiright?
Folks, this stuff matters. This isn't just your resume we're talking about. There are actual, real-life consequences to the policies that Trump is pursuing. Real people are being affected here. There's the migrant deported to Mexico who committed suicide hours later, the grandmother deported while her son in law is in Afghanistan. Or the trauma inflicted on this family:
Immigration agents tailed a man as he dropped off his daughter at a Los Angeles school last week. They pulled him over and took him away — all while his 13-year-old sobbed in the back seat.
It's been just six weeks, and this is the kind of stuff happening already. There's more: I know people who expect to lose their Obamacare coverage who have been forced to make real life changes as a result: career decisions, life partner decisions, you name it. So the idea that someone would be so cynical as to think, "I'm a liberal Democrat but I'm going to work for Trump because I've got my career to think about" is repulsive to me.
And it seems to be going around. A lot of people want to know how Stephen Miller became such a horrible person. Friends want to know how the educated, liberal Jewish Julia Hahn came to write for Breitbart News and ultimately get hired by Steve Bannon as a White House staffer. It's quite a conundrum:
After college, Hahn moved to Washington, D.C., hoping, she told friends, to "get a job in media." She didn't seem to care what kind. At around this time, a Chicago classmate who worked at a think tank saw Hahn at a party; Hahn said that she was a producer for Laura Ingraham, a fixture of far-right talk radio. "I asked, 'Oh, is that what your politics are?' " the classmate recalled. "She went, 'Nah, I'm apolitical.' I thought, O.K., there are two possibilities. Either she's dissembling because she doesn't feel comfortable being outed as a hyperconservative or she actually is just a pure social climber."
"Seeing her writing for Breitbart—and writing some of the most aggressive, white-nationalist stuff on the site—was quite a shock," Eliza Brown, one of Hahn's Chicago classmates, said. "My friends and I talked about it a lot, along the lines of 'Was this festering in her all along?' 'Can you ever truly know anyone?' " She continued, "Not to wax too poetic about academia, but part of the idea of learning the canon is that it will, ultimately, make you a better person."
Is this some new thing, people not having any principles? Is it some generational thing? And looking at the shit show that the Trump regime has become after just six weeks, who thinks a Trump administration job will be anything but a liability on their resume in coming years?
I don't get it, I really don't. But whatever. The important message, if there is one, is that this shit matters. Everything you do matters. Even if you aren't Boy Wonder, even if you're a normal person going about your day, what you do matters. Do it with integrity, honesty and humility or don't bother getting out of bed in the morning.

This Is Your Periodic Reminder That Trump's Twitter Is Fake
Looks like the dumb housewife has struck again.
Last year I had a sneaking suspicion that there was something very phony about Trump's most active Twitter followers. I'd see people — some of them prominent journalists and public figures — get in weird debates with Trump supporters. But there was something really strange about these supporters. They always had 32 supporters or 32,000 — no middle ground. They universally had "Deplorable" in their names and the #MAGA hashtag in their bios. Their profiles usually represented a minority of some kind — African Americans, Hispanics, women, etc. — i.e., people who were not supposed to be Trump supporters, according to conventional wisdom (and polls). Their bio pics were always extremely physically attractive, not a dog in the litter. And their Twitter feeds were all virtually identical. They all repeated the same pro-Trump lines, and re-Tweeted each other. Many were re-Tweeted by Trump himself. It was all just a little too "straight out of Central Casting" for me, and my bullshit meter went off. I finally wrote about it here.
Since then we've learned more about Trump/Russia's use of social media to spread Trump memes. The goal is to establish the idea that Trump's agenda and Trumpism in general is more widely accepted among Americans than it actually is. Another goal is to attack opponents — Hillary during the campaign, but post-inauguration, the tactic is deployed against anyone opposing Trump.
Why Twitter? Because our idiotic news media uses Twitter as its assignment editor. There are news shows that literally cover "trending topics" like they're real things. Last week a WSMV morning news report had the "breaking news" (not making this up) that Trump Tweeted five times overnight. So it's important to remind everyone that Twitter is often fake, and Trump's Twitter in particular is super fake. Trump-related Twitter activity does not equate with support for his regime.
For example, a Twitter audit reveals that over one quarter of Trump's Twitter followers are fakes:
This isn't necessarily Trump's fault, as bots and zombies can attach themselves to anyone without the account holder knowing about it. But when this zombie bot army is Tweeting identical pro-Trump messages, it's not out of line to question what the hell is going on. For example, see this string of identical Tweets from different pro-Trump accounts. Hmmm …
And there's this from Facebook (I know I'm talking primarily about Twitter here but the same shit goes on over at Facebook):
Just before the inauguration Forbes did an analysis of Trump's Twitter following and found not only are there an unusually large percentage of zombies and bots, but the majority of accounts are not U.S.-based:
In Trump's case, many of those followers come from Moscow or elsewhere in Russia, India, Nigeria and Latin American countries, primarily Venezuela and Mexico. It's not surprising that our PEOTUS is followed by people around the world, but those people should not be counted as part of Trump's electoral base in the U.S.
If you limit the scope of analysis to accounts of users who self-identify as living in the United States, those 20 million total followers worldwide become more like 3 million active domestic Twitter users who included a location setting in their Twitter profile, and thus are likely to represent actual people and businesses. Affinio says they often see large shifts in audience size by applying this kind of geography filter.
So of Trump's 20 million followers, only 3 million represent actual Americans. That's … pathetic. Mashable recently noted:
It's been estimated that up to 80 percent of Trump's Twitter traffic is perpetuated by bots, singing his praises and hawking Trump-related merchandise. The most famous item they sold was a now-infamous "Liberal Tears" mug.
Tolulope Edionwe at The Outline uncovered that the mugs were a scam, with many customers never receiving their much-desired liberal-shaming swag.
As the Mashable piece explained, a change in Twitter's mobile app has made the creation of spambots moot. They're still there, but not as prominent. But of course, whenever technology creates a wall, savvy manipulators figure out how to build ladders.
I have long suspected that a major reason Trump was so enamored with Twitter in the first place is because it's so easy to manipulate. It's so easy to create an army of adoring followers on Twitter, which is what Trump craves. And who knows, maybe it's not him, maybe it's someone smarter than him — a Steve Bannon type, maybe — who's figured out how to pull Turmp's strings by using bots to up the "likes" on whatever asinine thought comes to him at 3 a.m. I don't know if he's using Twitter as part of a massive propaganda campaign or an ego gratification campaign or if someone else is using it to manipulate him; regardless, it's time everyone wised up and started acting accordingly.
So, I don't want to hear any more "breaking news" about trending topics, or Trump Tweets. If Trump wants to threaten opponents with his Twitter army, bring it on: the "army" is fake. It's one thing for the news media to cover the latest cute kid viral video, but when this stuff involves our acting leader, and the information affects world events, the news media needs to seriously check itself.

Lil Nas X's 'Old Town Road' Breaks Streaming Record – 3 Entertainment Inc.
Lil Nas X is smashing records.
The rapper's genre-bending single "Old Town Road" spends a second week atop the Billboard Hot 100, propelled by the remix featuring Billy Ray Cyrus, which was released April 5.
The track also earns the largest single-week streaming week ever with 143 million U.S. streams, surpassing the previous record set by Drake, whose "In My Feelings" drew 116.2 million streams. Both the remix and original version of "Old Town Road" count toward the song's chart placement.
"Old Town Road" also tops Digital Song Sales with 124,000 downloads, the biggest weekly total since Drake's "God's Plan" debuted with 127,000 downloads in February 2018.
Not only is "Road" the first No. 1 for Lil Nas X, but also for Cyrus. The country veteran bests his previous No. 4 Hot 100 peak with "Achy Breaky Heart" in July 1992.
Lil Nas X has also teased another remix with Young Thug, and even joked about releasing an "Old Town Road" album consisting of remixes, acapellas, and interludes.
Elsewhere in the Hot 100 top 10, Post Malone and Swae Lee's former chart-topper "Sunflower" holds at No. 2, Post Malone's "Wow" rises 4-3, and J. Cole "Middle Child" moves up one spot to No. 9.

Motor Authority To Name "Best Car To Buy" 2012
Nelson Ireson November 22, 2011 Comment Now!
For the second year, Motor Authority will award the Best Car To Buy title to our favorite vehicle of the 2012 model year. Being Motor Authority, we choose from the best new luxury and performance cars in the $50,000-and-over bracket. Our sister sites The Car Connection and Green Car Reports will each choose their Best Car To Buy as well, in the mainstream and green segments, respectively.
As you may remember from last year, our rules are simple: to be eligible, a car must meet our price and category definition, plus be all-new or significantly updated for the 2012 model year. The nominees must also be available for purchase by January 31, 2012, and made available for our editors to drive and review prior to November 18, 2011. Fortunately, almost every car in the category fits this mold, so we hone our short list from a wide variety of options.
Our evaluation process includes a combination of objective and subjective factors, such as performance, price, styling, cachet, and luxury. We weigh these out for each car, evaluating strengths and weaknesses until we come to the ultimate winner: the Best Car To Buy.
As the award's name implies, it's not just the outright best car from any one standpoint that wins; it's the car we'd most like to own, and the car we most recommend buying, in its segment. As a team, High Gear Media's editors test over 200 new vehicles each year, including every car on the eligibility short list and all of the nominees. It's from this wide-ranging experience that we draw our conclusions.
We'll be announcing the nominees this week, with one new car joining the fold each day, with the official winner of the Best Car To Buy 2012 award to be named on Monday, November 28.
Without further ado, here's our short list of the top eligible cars for 2012:
2012 Nissan GT-R
2012 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Roadster
2012 Mercedes-Benz CLS 63 AMG

Who is Kitchen Gadget Girl?
Shake the Midori and Vodka together in cocktail shaker with ice. Pour into a highball glass with ice, and add Fresca to taste. Serve.
Savory cheese balls are common in our neck of the woods, especially for 50's-themed cocktail parties. For this event, I wanted something that would pair well with (green-tinted) coconut, so I found a few recipes for sweet cheese balls and came up with this variation. Next time, I would try pineapple bits instead of maraschino cherries.
In a medium bowl, mix food coloring with water. Add in coconut and stir until color is uniform. Spread out on a tray with paper towels to dry.
Beat cream cheese until light, then add sugar and continue to beat until smooth. Using a spoon or flexible spatula, mix in pecans and cherries.
Gather up the cheese mixture and form into a ball. Place in the middle of the coconut tray, and pat coconut all around the ball. It may seem messy and difficult to do, but the coconut sticks really well and the cheese ball will keep its shape. Once you have it coated with as much coconut as you want, put it on a serving plate and stick the cheese ball in the fridge for 1 hour, or until serving.

Smashing Pumpkins shine 'oh so bright' during rare WNY appearance
"This guy is fucking great."
I overheard this pithy little nugget while the Smashing Pumpkins were putting the finishing touches on a show that was apt to go down as one of the top-three I've ever consumed at Darien Lake Amphitheatre. The "guy" in question is William Patrick Corgan and the fan's assessment is accurate when you consider he's the architect behind some of the finest rock formations of the last 30 years.
Of all the eccentric personalities to emerge from the 1990s, Corgan continues to compel, because his intellect and self-awareness are such that any acquiescence to clickbait culture is never going to happen. He knows what people think of him and his well-publicized exchanges regarding former bassist D'arcy Wretzky being absent from the reunion, and, quite frankly, he doesn't care. His focus is on the Pumpkins as they are in 2019, which is exactly how it should be.
After all, the hive mind's motive for wanting D'arcy to return has more to do with its own selfish thirst for nostalgia than any empirical evidence suggesting she would be better than the lineup that asserted its collective dominance on Saturday night. If their chemistry is really no more, they shouldn't be roped into faking it for just one more show.
What WAS evident from the opening salvo of "Today," "Zero," and "Solara," however, is that this material has lost none of its multi-generational bite. Corgan's signature snarl and undervalued six-string fury were in full bloom throughout the evening, as he and fellow OGs James Iha and Jimmy Chamberlin reminded the fans why they fell in love with this music once upon a time. Old wounds appear to have healed and the joie de vivre with which they resurrected these tracks made for a resplendent experience.
The acoustic devastation of "Disarm" peaked my dopamine levels in a way that few other pieces can while a psychedelic re-imagining of James Taylor's "Fire and Rain" was as stunning as it was unexpected. Corgan's voice has always been a polarizing ingredient for the Pumpkins' recipe, but I couldn't envision him expressing the pain, yearning, and deep-seated introspection behind those lyrics in any other style. We're hearing the ghosts of his dysfunctional childhood manifested in vocal form, so, when he cries out "The killer in me is the killer in you," his authenticity is never in doubt.
Other gems culled from the catalog included "Ava Adore," "1979," and "Tonight, Tonight," the last of which was still B-E-A-Utiful despite missing the 30-piece string section heard on the original recording. By the time Jimmy Chamberlin's drum roll dropped on "Cherub Rock," the audience had already been treated to a set that demonstrated the Pumpkins' ability to transition from alt-rock chaos to expansive instrumentation with equal aplomb.
Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds provided a strong lead-in with a set comprised of both Oasis classics and various original compositions that were bolstered by a buoyant brass section intent on making the people dance. A ferocious spin on "Little by Little" and a muted "Don't Look Back in Anger" were easily the best of the bunch as Gallagher's performance remained committed throughout.
California rockers AFI worked hard to rally a half-empty venue, but, outside of the 2006 crossover hit "Miss Murder," the crowd never felt invested enough to care one way or another about what was happening.
Is that fair?
Not at all, but it's difficult enough for Smashing Pumpkins to compete with smart phones in 2019, let alone a band whose name appears in significantly smaller font on the marquee.
