Boardwalk, Park Place, & Veepstakes
According to Politco's swing state map, if the general election was held today, Obama would win a whopping 332 to 206 in the electoral college. If somehow Obama loses all the states where he is currently winning by 4.5 or less points (Colorado, Iowa, Virginia, Florida, and New Hampshire) he would still win 271 to 267. So I do not understand all the hubbub about Obama being super weak.
Of course, while everything can change, some changes are less likely than they might usually be. For example, it is unlikely that some damaging piece of Obama's bio comes out. And though we cannot rule out a major disaster, those unite the country behind its president as often as not. Also, a series of major gaffes by a typically disciplined Obama is not likely either.
So the economy, already a major factor no matter what, is likely the whole ball game, and we simply do not know what it will do. Also, as I argued earlier in Political Jedi Master, the economy is the only leverage point with which anyone can beat Obama, and Romney, despite obvious flaws, is best suited to maximize that leverage.
So, with his back up against the electoral wall, what running mate should Romney pick?
I grew up playing monopoly and probably kept playing past the age when normal people stop. One of the strategies adult-Jer learned seems relevant:
When it is down to the final two players, when you have hardly have any money left and your opponent has the majority of properties with plenty of houses and hotels, it is tempting to slowly sell houses evenly and keep enough money so that you can withstand a hit or two. Of course, when it is neck and neck, this strategy makes sense: avoid unnecessary risks. But, when your back is up against the wall, playing it safe will lead slowly, but inevitably, to defeat. Instead, sell and mortgage everything, even if you do not immediately need to, except for Boardwalk and Park Place and put all your money into building hotels. Even if you get lucky on your own rolls, if your opponent does not land on Boardwalk or Park Place, you will lose; if your opponent lands on them, but they are not super expensive, you will also lose. The only way you win is if you get some luck and you were ready to capitalize on it by making Boardwalk and Park Place a mortal hit.
(I won using this strategy several times. My brother would complain that it was dumb luck. I would say it was luck…and clever cleverness.)
Romney's Boardwalk and Park place is the economy; in order for him to win he has to get lucky (the economy has to decline) and he has capitalize on it when it does. Rounding himself out by picking Condeleeza Rice for foreign policy, African Americans, and women, or Marco Rubio for the Latino vote, Florida, and a compelling biography, is like hedging his bets by keeping houses or hotels on other properties. Instead, he needs to commit to the only winning strategy that exists for him: the economy is in decline and though he might not have an incredible personal story, snazzy oratorical skills, or middle-class roots, he is supremely competent. He is Mr. Fix-it #1 and captain of the the Varsity Mr. Fix-it team.
For that reason, I think Romney should pick a former governor (executive experience) with a job creation record, a business record, and a Washington outsider, and they must have a persona of no frills, getting things done; they must exude competence like crazy. I am thinking Tim Pawlenty or someone similar (Jon Huntsman cannot because "I'm a Mormon from Utah too!"). I am sure there are other good names out there. Maybe perusing through their bios and picking one will be another post.
Also, unlike Mccains pick of Palin, Romney needs to make a pick that reflects his main argument against Obama, "Obama is not uber-competent on the economy like me." (Mccain picked Palin under the banner, "Country First." No matter what you think of Palin, you have to admit that there were other candidates much more qualified to be President, and Mccain did not reinforce his case with his VP pick.)
So I am excited to see who Romney picks as VP. Maybe it will make my list of brilliant political plays and Romney will prove himself the ultimate political Jedi Master…or maybe he will not pass go and not collect 200.
Either way, I can't wait! This is history happening in front of our faces!
Incredible discussion going on regarding gun control. I will post more on that soon. Thanks for your comments!

Political Jedi Master: Bush Tax Cuts & Romney's Returns
Politics is intellectual football. Here are two recent and brilliant Obama plays.
#1 Extending the Bush Tax Cuts in 2010
I was pretty upset in 2010 when Obama let the Bush tax cuts be extended without much of a fight, but it was genius. Not only did it coax a little more stimulus out of the Republicans for an insipid economy, money he could not have gotten for anything but tax cuts, but Obama timed the new expiry date for the extension perfectly. Right before the 2012 election the Republicans were going to publicly position themselves against the middle class: "if we can't cut taxes for the wealthy, than nobody gets a tax cut." And here we are!
Early on Obama's team had to know, as all political operatives do, that re-election prospects would most likely be tied to how quickly the economy recovers, and how good the Republican candidate would likely be on economic issues and related experience. Even if the economy did poorly, an economy-deaf candidate like Mccain would likely mean an Obama victory. If the economy did well, Obama's broad like-ability would mean an Obama victory too. Foreseeably, the only possible way that Obama could lose a 2nd term is if the economy continued to stagnate and an economic "can-do" Republican was nominated (I think this is why Herman Cain ran). So, in 2009, what economic "can-do" guys were out for the Obama team to worry about?
In 2008, it was obvious to everyone Romney was that man and that he was going to run again. In fact, I told people at back then, not because I am brilliant but because it was blindingly obvious, that Romney is likely the only Republican candidate who could seriously have a chance at beating Obama, because he could win on Obama's only serious weak point. Afghanistan was not likely to become a big enough problem. ObamaCare riles Republicans, but not many others. Pro-life or anti-gay issues? No way. That is a losing demographic battle. Obama's team was only worried about a Republican economic guru; and a guru happened to be the frontrunner at the time.
So how do you neutralize Romney's economic bonafides? Simple: by making him and his party look more like robber barons than Mr. Fix-It.
So, in addition to timing the debate, the 2010 Bush tax cut extensions was a brilliant move by Obama for another reason: while Republican Party holds middle-class tax cuts hostage to upper-class tax cuts, but the standard-bearer for the party, Mitt himself, is one of those wealthy individuals for whom his party is sacrificing the middle-class. Do you think this debate would be as big of a deal if Rick Santorum was the nominee? If anything, a middle-income standard bearer would give this fight for the wealthy some integrity (though a middle-income standard bearer also would probably not have experience in the economy making millions of dollars).
Finally, while health care was a major campaign issue in 2008, Obama needed a new issue to excite his base. The obvious alliance between the Republicans and wealth was ripe for political exploitation.
Well-played sir…well-played.
#2 Having Harry Reid Accuse Romney of a Decade of Tax Evasion
According to Harry Reid, a Bain investor called his office and told him that Romney has not paid taxes in 10 years. Reid then said as much in an interview last week with the Huffington Post and then in a speech on the floor of the United States Senate. Republicans have gone postal, demanding "dirty Harry" take it back, and have attacked the Obama Team for not denouncing this unsubstantiated claim.
But the Obama team has played it super cool and asked, why doesn't Romney take 10 seconds, reach into his filing cabinet, and cough up some tax returns to the nearest reporter. He could prove Reid a liar in seconds; why would he not want to so easily discredit the 2nd most powerful Democrat in the country?
If Romney does not release his taxes, then he, the richest man ever to be a major party nominee, as his party fights for his tax cuts, is seen as hiding something (especially because, between the precedent set by his dad and Nixon, and every presidential candidate for the past 50 years of releasing 8 or so years of returns, he already looks like he is hiding something). But, if he does release his tax returns, then the media gets to tell lots of stories about how rich he is and how he got his wealth. (He did not create a conventional business from the bottom up, like Andrew Carnegie or Henry Ford. Instead he bought and sold businesses themselves, often after lay-offs, re-organizing, and 'stripping them for parts,' though admittedly it is more complex than that.)
Now, I have no evidence for this, but I find it hard to beleive that Reid, an early supporter of Obama who initially encouraged the man to run for President in 2007 when everyone thought Hillary had the nomination locked up, who depended on Obama for his own re-election campaign in Nevada, who is Obama's staunch ally, would get this phone call from a Bain investor and unilaterally take it straight to the Huffington Post and put it in a speech. Assuming he got the call at all, he probably g-chated Obama immediately and asked,
Harry_#1Senator: What should I do?"
Ice.cold.Obama: Do what you think is best ; )

Mass Murder's Bright Future
Grief, mourning…blah blah. I'm trying my best not to cry because tears seem so hypocritical: what about Darfur? What about the Congo where this happens regularly? But I can relate to movie theaters and Americans! And I really do, my heart reaches out to them.
Also, James Holme's theater shooting is actually kinda unique. Most killers, even the crazed Joseph Kony, is still trying to get something. Jihadists are sincerely trying to punish the infidel at least. James Holmes, he's just crazy evil. Doing it for no damn reason because he's totaly evil. Right? Shit…yeah he was a counselor at a summer camp for needy children in 2008, attended UC Riverside as a scholarship student and graduated with highest honors. "Academically, he was at the top of the top," Chancellor Timothy P. White said. Campus police had no run-ins with him. Niether did the police at the University of Colorado School of Medicine. It looks like the only problem he's had with the police was a speeding ticket in 2011 (CNN). He actually seemed to be doing fine before he dropped out of school about a month ago. Still, he enjoyed a cold one recently with a friend, which can't make him too nuts:
"Jackie Mitchell, who lives close to Holmes, had a beer with him on Tuesday. Mitchell was stunned at news of Holmes' alleged involvement in the attack. "You would never guess he was a violent guy," Mitchell said, describing Holmes as "nerdish" and "a book-smart type guy." (CNN)
But of course, there was something wrong with him. Apparently he called himself "the Joker" when he got arrested, had dyed his hair red, and his voicemail was described as a creepy batman-themed fiasco with "evil" laughter. And also he shot 70 people in a crowded movie theater wearing .
On the first airing of the Factor with Bill O'Reilly, which I watch because I love Bill, "nothing can be done about this; the guy was just evil" maybe four or five times. I hear this sentiment echoed in the news, and most experts seem to agree, nothing can be done about this. What can be done about pure evil?
Really? Ok. First off, the guy was obviously not totally evil.
Also, it seems that we can do something about this if we wanted. The guy bought $6,000 of ammo on the internet. Large volumes of tactical gear was shipped to his house and work in the mail (CNN). From whom you might ask? "Chad Weinman, CEO of TacticalGear.com of Chesterfield, Missouri, told CNN earlier that his company had a receipt matching Holmes' name and his Aurora address." The receipt showed $306.22 spent on a bullet-proof vest, magazines, 100 round ammo clips, and a big knife. CNN reports:
"Holmes paid for a two-day air delivery when he placed the order on July 2, which would seem to indicate he wanted the materials in a hurry, Weinman said."
The firm sells equipment to military and police personnel — as well as weekend warriors, Weinman said.
The gear that the firm believes it sold to Holmes is manufactured by a company called Blackhawk Company, a "popular brand in tactical circles," Weinman said.
"We were pretty shocked to have discovered it," Weinman said.
"Oh, my God, we couldn't believe it" was how one of the company's owners reacted, Weinman said.
The AR-15, one of Holmes four weapons, was inherited as a family heirloom from his father's father father, who bought it from a local fur-trapper and fought with it in the Civil War. Sometimes he uses it to hunt deer.
Purchasing a 100-round magazine for an AR-15 is unusual, weapons experts said. The AR-15 is designed for easy reloading. "Even without the grand-sized mags, many people who are practiced can reload in 1½ to 2 seconds," said Steven Howard, a Michigan attorney and security and firearms expert."
James had recently bought the AR-15, as well as 3,000 rounds for it. CBS News says that he went to a Fed Ex to pick up 150 lbs of ammo he bought at once. A UPS driver says Holmes had 90 packages delivered to his workplace on the University of Colorado medical campus. He bought the guns at Gander Mountain Guns and a Bass Pro shop in May. He had tear gas. He had smoke bombs. While shooting people, the police cheif said he wore a helmet, vest, leggings, throat protector and groin protector (source). All in all, Holmes spent at least $15,000 in the last few month or so on guns, chemicals, explosives, and ammunition. (CBS)
My point, I guess, is that this guy was obviously prepping for something and had radically changed his life recently for no clear reason. Why can't background checks for buying guns and such large amounts of ammo include a short investigation into recent mental health? Is that too onerous? Maybe there are better ideas out there.
Now, I am not a big gun control guy, and some 2nd Amendment people make some sense, but obviously everyone, NRA fans and not, are taking crazy pills. The truth seems fairly simple: James Holmes was not evil, but he did go nuts. Americans, like all people, have a tendency to go nuts. But Americans can buy guns, thousands rounds of ammo, combat gear, whenever they want, no questions asked, and go nuts with style.
In 1949, Howard Unruh killed 13 of his neighbors and was committed to mental institution.
In 1966, Charles Whitman kills his wife and baby in the morning and then shoots 46 people, killing 16.
In 1982, 40 year-old prison guard George Banks kills 13 people, including 5 of his own kids.
In 1984, James Huberty kills 21 adults and kids at a local McDonalds before being shot by a policeman an hour later.
Cho Seung-Hui, the VA Tech shooter, looking altogether sane as he calmly describes his rationale for killing random strangers: "I'm getting back at rich fucks" (paraphrase).
In 1991, 35 year old George Hennard crashes his pickup truck through a wall, shoots and kills 23 people, and then shoots himself.
In 1999, in Colombine, two students kill 13 and wound 23 others before killing themselves.
In 2007, 23 year old Seung-Hui Cho kills 32 people and wounds many others. Before killing himself, he sent in a tape laced with profanity citing the need for revenge on the wealthy.
In 2009, 28 year old Michael McLendon shoots 10 people, including his mother, grandparents, aunt and uncle, and then himself.
In 2009, a man named Wong shoots 13 people at an immigrant community center, and then kills himself.
In 2009, at Ft. Hood, Nidal Hasan, age 39, kills 13 people and shoots 32 others. (Source is CNN)
So, how can we still be shocked? How can the guy who sells tactical gear over the internet be shocked? How can Bass Pro be shocked? How can I be shocked? But I am. It is shocking how shocked America is. Shootings like these have been happening for a long time and will keep happening as long as people become mentally ill and have access to guns. If they had access to can openers, they would use that. If they had access to nuclear warheads, they would use that. Frankly, I am surprised it does not happen more, considering US rates of suicide and depression.
So, what is the solution? Maybe we should ban guns entirely. Maybe. Or maybe we start with just asking some more questions when someone buys an AR-15 with a 100-round magazine. That is, of course, if it is not too inconvenient.
I'm with Bloomberg. I want to hear Romney and Obama talk about their position on gun control.

Adams vs. Jefferson Repeat in 2012
In 1800, John Adams was accused of being an out of touch, arrogant, elitist while his opponent, Jefferson, won with the image of a real American, a man of the people, and a champion of liberty. For example, in a well-publicized national discussion, when the new republic was trying to decide what to call the president, Jefferson pushed for the title "Mr. President" while John Adams was willing to call him "His Excellency" or something that lent the position more gravitas. Adams, spending years abroad in England and France, was viewed as having been poisoned by aristocratic and foreign sensibilities and communism was to Joe McCarthy's USA as monarchy was to Jefferson's. As part of the Federalist Party, albeit a reluctant member, Adams wanted to consolidate government power while Jefferson, of the people, by the people, and for the people, had spent his whole life in America and was the people's man. He wanted their freedom and saw the small-holding farmer, as opposed to industry, as central to American life.
But biography is ironic. Jefferson was the son of a rich plantation owner. At age 21, he inherited 5,000 acres (20 km2) of land, 52 slaves, livestock, his father's notable library, and a gristmill. In 1768, he used his slaves to construct a neoclassical mansion known as Monticello. In 1773, the year after Jefferson married a young widow, her father died. She and Jefferson inherited his estate, including 11,000 acres and 135 slaves. With these additional slaves, Jefferson became the second largest slaveholder in Albermarle County with one of the biggest estates. The number of slaves from this time forward would fluctuate around 200.
Jefferson enjoyed an enormous income for his entire life, yet was almost always deeply in debt. He spent lavishly and was constantly remodeling Monticello for no particular or practical purpose. He spent great sums of money while abroad, especially in France, where he enjoyed the French aristocracy and their way of life. He loved fine wine, expensive furnishings, and speculation, and died 1-2 million in debt.
Adams, on the other hand, was raised by a farmer who farmed the land himself. Young Adams loved farming and he ran a farm his entire life, which he worked whenever possible, shoveling manure and plowing fields without the aid of slaves. (Adams thought the only sensible investment was in land.) As a boston lawyer, he had trouble making ends meet, and had to farm. He hated taking cases without merit. In fact, he took the case defending the British soldiers at the Boston Massacre, the case that launched his public career, in part because he was having trouble finding work.
Throughout his public career, Adams was frugal with his modest income, especially while serving abroad in the company of high socieity, which, unlike Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin, he hated. He could not stand the theatrics, the sleaziness, the politics, the make-up, the decadence, or the rich food; it disgusted him and he never fit in. In fact, Franklin had the Continental Congress recall Adams against his will because he was too blunt and impolite; he was a "bull in a china cabinet."
Nonetheless, for decades, no matter what he did, Adams could not shake the public image of an elitist snob who had been poisoned by foreigners, and Jefferson won the 1800 election.
Barack Obama has also been called an out of touch, arrogant elitist. I hear it daily. Indeed, he has given some fodder for this charge. During his 2008 campaign, he mentioned that rural Americans can "cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations." He called the economy "fine" a few weeks ago. He spent some parts of his life in foreign countries. Maybe he is out of touch with real America?
But Obama, we must remember, was raised by a single mom who worked for non-profits. Mitt Romney's dad, George Romney, was a successful businessman, a multi-millionaire, Governor of Michigan, Sec. of HUD, and ran for President against Nixon.
Obama finished paying off his school debt in 2004 and, though he is a millionaire now, only became one from book sales after his 2008 campaign picked up. Romney, on the other hand, is worth over $250 million, making him the richest man ever to run for president — he always has been the 1%.
Obama was a community organizer working closely with underserved populations in Chicago before he became a lawyer, professor, state senator, Senator, and then President. Mitt Romney worked as a Mormon missionary in France, a high-powered business consultant, a wildly successful venture capitalist executive for 14 years with an initial $37 million, chaired the 2002 Winter Olympics, became governor of Massachusetts from 2003-2007, and has been running for President ever since.
Ultimately, I'm not sure what "out of touch" is supposed to mean. Everyone is "in touch" with something. As for me, I like Obama because he, like me, is multi-cultural and has been exposed to poverty. Like me, he knows what it is like to worry about school debt and making ends meet since the majority of his life he paid close attention to electricity bills, travel expenses, and food prices. He understands why they are important. Romney seems like a good guy, but he has been enormously wealthy nearly his entire life. Romney is Wall Street to Obama's Main Street.
Did you hear about the $12 million expansion to his Ocean Front property in San Diego? It includes a car elevator. But car elevators can be super cool right? Romney could be just a rich guy having everyman fun, like Obama when he enjoys the perks of bringing the musicians he loves to perform in the White house, or flying up to NYC for a dinner and a show with Michelle. But surely all excess does not signal everyday humanity. Maybe some excess is just excessive, such as the time and ink spent on this whole discussion of who is more 'out of touch.'
So, vote for Obama? It's not really my point. Instead, let's just all try mightily not be as out of touch as the electorate in 1800.

Crimes Against Criminals Don't Count
Crime has fallen precipitously since the high of the early '90s. For example, from 1980 to 2005, the estimated incidence of rape fell by 85%. In 1990, there were 2,245 homicides in NYC. In 2010, there were only 536. Crime has continued to fall even during the recession.
But this is not actually true. Crime has merely been transplanted and concentrated in our nation's prisons and, incredibly, crime rate statistics do not include crimes which occur in prison. This is totally understandable, right? Crimes against criminals don't count! But, lately I have pretended that they do count, which has led to some basic research about the U.S. penal system, to a discovery of an obnoxiously worthy cause, and now I am less content in my ignorance and apathy–a rookie mistake. (If somebody can explain all this away please let me know!)
In recent posts, I noted the media frenzy around Trayvon Martin's death and that, while the incident was tragic, murder by strangers, especially neighborhood watch volunteers, is not a top societal problem. In an effort to walk my talk I am taking the next few posts avoiding the latest stories (Obama's for gay marriage!?) in order to highlight the critical situation in our burgeoning penal system. These issues receive little attention, and, in my opinion, could easily be much improved. For those in search of a crusade, you might consider it.
Thoughtful citizens take note: the U.S. prison population has boomed (this would make a good voting quiz question). It rose 400% from 1980 to 2007, while the general population grew 33% in the same period, until U.S. prisons housed 2.3 million with about 5 million people on parole–a total population greater than the municipalities of Los Angeles, Chicago, and San Francisco combined. This makes the United States the most incarcarated country in the world and second most in known history (supposedly the USSR under Stalin just edges us out). Today, the U.S. has 5% of the world's population and 25% of the world's incarcerated people. We spend $70 billion of the $200 billion spent globally on keeping people locked up.
Many factors contribute to the rise in the U.S. prison population. One is the war on drugs. Another is 3 strike and other laws that demand stricter penalties which the public demanded after the rise in crime in the 80s and 90s. Unfortunately, offenses that count towards 3 strike laws can be quite minor, such as stealing videos from wallmart, etc. Life sentences are also given out more often than they used to be. In 2003, 127,677 Americans were serving life sentences, an 83% jump in 11 years. For these reasons and others, the prison population grew.
At first, the scale of this prison population spike just seemed strange. After all, have we really had a 400% increase in depravity in the last 30 years? Regardless, perhaps the rise is gravy if prison life means simply reading, watching TV, and exercising. But the truth seems a bit more complicated. (Part 2 to come.)

The Debt Ceiling Debacle and the New Political Order
In debacles of this sort there is usually plenty of blame to go around, but, this time, the majority of the blame is uncharacteristically concentrated.
Since 1917, the debt ceiling has been raised 102 times. From what I can tell, these raises have been more or less bipartisan and routine. More recently, both sides have flirted with playing chicken with the debt ceiling. Indeed, Reid's, Durbin's, and Obama's voting records in the Senate were nearly perfectly partisan, as they voted against raising the debt ceiling when Republicans controlled the Senate, and for it when Democrats were in the majority. Shame on them!
However, the Democrats as a whole never really came close to stopping a debt ceiling raise except for a couple times under Bush (under whom it was raised seven times) when the votes were close. Overall though, it is fair to say that debt ceiling nay votes were cast on both sides of the aisle nearly exclusively to make a political point.
This changed in 2009. Here's some numbers: 55 republican senators in 1997 voted for a debt ceiling increase, then 31 in 2002, then 50 in 2003, then 50 in 2004, then 51 in 2006, then 26 in 2007, then 34 in 2008, then 33 again in 2008. In 2009, 2 Republican Senators voted in favor of it. For the second time in 2009, there was 1. Finally, in 2010, there was 0. This is how things stood when Republicans took back the house and a showdown was set. Furthermore, the Republicans returned to power in large part because of the rise of the Tea Party, the majority of which, and please correct me if I am wrong here, see compromising as unprincipled behavior. No longer were the days when a few errant politicians used the debt ceiling to make a point. Now it was, "give us what we want or we'll blow the country up." Certainly, both parties were headed in the direction of giving this ultimatum, but the Republicans got there first.
This put the Democrats in the position where they would have to choose between default or letting the Republicans take control of government.
What would you do? The Democrats, from what I could tell, mostly gave in to Republicans, but they did it too late, so we still had a credit downgrade. If I was President, maybe I would have fought crazy with more crazy and said, "The debt ceiling is sacred. If you attach any conditions on raising the debt ceiling, even if it is one lousy $25 appropriation for free Fritos at a movie night for disabled children of veterans who also happen to be Hurricane Katrina survivors, I will veto it. I do not care. Don't f#ck with me." But who knows if that would have worked.
What all of this does reveal is what I see as an ongoing fundamental shift in contemporary politics. While Republicans are being monopolized by their extreme right wing, especially the Tea Party, the Democrats are not being monopolized to the same extent by the extreme left. What this means is that every moderate in America is now left with a choice: Am I a Democrat or not? Regardless of your answer, moderates will be Democrats practically, but will bolt as soon as the Republicans uncrazy themselves. Indeed, I am proud to be one of these reluctant Democrats. With this perspective, I start to feel sick watching a slew of "I told you so" grins on the faces of 2012 republican presidential candidates. You get the sense that, after breaking the government, Republicans are claiming, "See, government doesn't work, so we should make it smaller."
Yet Obama seems to be getting most of the blame, even from Democrats. Sometimes it makes me think I am taking crazy pills, "Why do people hate this guy so much?" and it gets me thinking that maybe I should hate him too. Why doesn't he stick up for himself more? Why isn't he as disappointed with this process as I am? Why is he so quick to compromise?
And as I lie here, asking those questions, and thinking about the 2012 election at 7AM, I found this video and I realized this: Obama is still the man. Seriously, watching it was a spiritual experience.
My conclusion: I need to calm down. Everyone needs to take a breath. It's going to be OK, and we all need to keep compromising.
"Compromise" shouldn't be a dirty word. Alicia and I compromise with each other when we disagree. If we do not, we jeopardize our marriage. If politicians do not compromise, they jeopardize the country. But, if they do, for many of them, they jeopardize their job security too, and this gets back to my point about the new political alignment: Republican politicians are dependent on people who think compromise is villainous, and that's why, right now, all moderates are Democrats.

Suspect Who Raped Woman On Subway While Passengers Filmed Was Homeless Illegal Alien Feds Failed To Deport [Video]
(Republican Party News) – A 35-year-old Congolese man, Fiston Ngoy, allegedly raped a woman during a Philadelphia train ride as other passengers just stood by and filmed the entire incident on their phones. Folks, this is truly a disturbing story and goes on to reveal that, at least in big cities, you cannot depend on someone else to offer you help if you're being attacked.
This is why conservatives fight so hard to preserve the Second Amendment right to bear arms. We need to have the ability to protect ourselves from criminals and tyrannical government.
According to Infowars, police investigating the incident say that the illegal alien actually pestered the female victim for a full half an hour before he ripped her pants off and started to molest her for up to six minutes as a group of at least 10 bystanders did absolutely nothing to stop the incident from continuing.
"The train made 27 stops in the time Ngoy assaulted the woman, and Upper Darby Police Superintendent Timothy Bernhardt said those who recorded the rape and didn't interfere could face criminal charges," Infowars said. "An off-duty employee of The Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA) was the only person to phone 911."
After he was arrested for the sexual assault, police then discovered that Ngoy had been through 'multiple arrests and two misdemeanor convictions, one for controlled substances and one for sexual abuse.'"
Transit police officers responded to the call within three minutes and took Ngoy into custody. He's currently being held at Delaware County Prison. His bail is currently set at $180,000, according to information contained in court records.
"Ngoy came to the U.S. legally in 2012 on a student visa that expired in 2015 when he stopped going to school," Infowars explained. "In 2017, Ngoy was sentenced to 120 days in prison and nine months of probation after pleading guilty to misdemeanor sexual abuse."
Back in January of 2018, Ngoy was placed in immigration detention. However, a year later in March of 2019, an immigration judge issued a "withholding of removal" after he ruled that his misdemeanor sex offense wasn't a "serious crime" that was worthy of deportation.
After avoiding deportation, Ngoy was arrested two more times for disorderly conduct in 2020. Records show that Ngoy has been living at one of the city's homeless shelters.
"SEPTA issued statements and videos reminding passengers that each car has multiple emergency buttons that can be used to call 911 when situations like last week's sexual attack occur," the report says.
"The transit agency is also 'adamant that passengers need to speak up when they see something isn't right,'" the Infowars report continues.
.@SEPTA is reminding passengers of where the two emergency call buttons on each car are located, and are asking riders to call 911 if they can't get to the buttons, when they witness criminal act.

"We want everyone to be angry, disgusted, and to join us in being resolute in keeping our system safe," Transit Police Chief Thomas Nestel III stated during a news conference that was reported on by The Philadelphia Inquirer.
"There was a lot of people, in my opinion, that should have intervened. Somebody should have done something," Upper Darby Police Superintendent Bernhardt then stated. "It speaks to where we are in society and who would allow something like that to take place. So it's troubling."
This is how morally bankrupt our country has become, folks, thanks in large part to the work of the Democratic Party, which has been infiltrated with hardcore socialists and communists who want to see the collapse of American society so they can go about finishing the work started by Marx.
Folks on the left wonder why so many Americans supported President Trump's immigration policies? This would be the answer to that inquiry. With a wall firmly in place and the laws on the books enforced, we wouldn't have so many criminals pouring across the border and taking advantage of our compassion.

Council reveals improved land supply figure
Cheshire East Council has today released figures which demonstrate a housing land supply figure of 7.5 years.
The numbers offer a rise from a figure of 7.2 years in the same period in the previous year, which means there is now greater opportunity for people wanting to get on the housing ladder.
Council bosses say it also puts the authority in a strong position to prevent unplanned, uncoordinated schemes.
The increased figure of 7.5 years supply of housing land places the council comfortably above the five-year threshold, which all councils are expected to demonstrate when contesting planning applications that run contrary to local planning guidelines.
Under national planning policy, planning inspectors can approve controversial applications where a local planning authority cannot show that it has a five-year housing land supply.
This is an issue which has led to a number of unpopular housing schemes in the open countryside on the edges of towns and villages in previous years.
There was record housebuilding in 2018/19 – with a total of 3,062 new homes built in Cheshire East.
Cllr Toni Fox, Cheshire East Council's cabinet member for planning, commented: "This latest assessment means we can properly meet the demand for new homes, including affordable housing, that people need.
"It also helps ensure a sustainable workforce for our thriving economy in Cheshire East and a sufficient margin to ensure we have greater control over our planning decisions in future.
Cllr Fox added: "I'm encouraged that many house builders are working positively with us and getting new homes built in a prompt and planned manner.
"We can now focus on ensuring that the remaining sites in our local plan are implemented as soon as possible and that the planning conditions are fully adhered to, in the interests of all our communities."
As of 31st March 2019, the council was required to show that 11,802 new dwellings could be built over the subsequent five years.
It is now able to show that 17,733 new homes can be built – equivalent to a 7.5-year supply.
Cheshire East describes itself as one of the busiest planning authorities in the country.

Owing to its policy of open doors and ambitions to become a "humanitarian superpower" (as former Conservative Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt put it), Sweden is set to become the European nation with the largest proportion of Muslims, which according to a researcher is fraught with problems.
Sweden's Islamic community has gone from numbering in the dozens in the 1930s to hundreds of thousands today, and is becoming one of the fastest-growing in Europe. According to Pew Research University, it is expected to rise further to to 4.5 million (or 31 percent of the population) by 2050. Compared with Sweden's current total population of 10 million, this will entail the Nordic country having among largest proportions of Muslims in Europe. At present, over 25 percent of Swedish citizens have foreign ancestry.
Richard Jomshof, party secretary of the right-wing and anti-immigrant Sweden Democrats, has recently compared the situation in Western Europe in general and Sweden in particular with the late Roman Empire in decline, and is calling for drastic measures to prevent the continent from falling prey to degeneration and Islamization. While this view is not shared by the mainstream Swedish media, let alone the parties vying for power, the spread of Islam has become a hot topic for debate.
According to the Pew Research Center, immigration and fertility rates are key issues. On average, Muslim women in Europe have 2.1 children, as opposed to 1.6 children among their non-Muslim peers, tilting the scale in favor of the newcomers.
Aje Carlbom, an associate professor of social anthropology at Malmö University specializing in studies of Islam, advocates a less alarmist view of the future, compared to that of Jomshof, but nevertheless makes no secret of the challenges posed by variants of Islam and their incompatibility with European values.
While Carlbom is the author of an attention-raising report on the growing influence of the Muslim Brotherhood in Sweden, he is also skeptical of the suggestion that Islam will take over Europe.
"A lot will be needed for Muslims to become a majority. You should probably make the image of that phenomenon more nuanced," Carlbom told the Christian newspaper Dagen.
According to Carlbom, Muslims cannot be seen as a unified group, but rather as plethora of loosely connected subgroups sharing conflicting beliefs. Many Muslims who come to Europe ultimately get affected by their environment, become secularized and less engaged in religious debates, and have fewer children.
However, he admitted that there are problems as well, as there are numerous groups, albeit currently marginal, striving to implement Sharia law and other ideological vehicles incompatible with European values. Carlbom named radical Sunni Hizb-ut-Tahrir* working to establish a Muslim caliphate, as natural "enemy of the Swedish social order."
"One should be aware that there are major general differences in values between Muslims and non-Muslims. Sometimes, it's almost opposing values when it comes to gender equality and sexual minorities," he said.
Nevertheless, Carlbom painted a rather bleak future. According to him, continued immigration will lead to segregation becoming worse.
"Researchers know that people who come to a new country usually seek out environments they recognize. Therefore, as diasporas grow in size, the bigger such an environment becomes, the more difficult it is to leave," Carlbom said, pointing out tensions that may erupt between Muslims and non-Muslims.
Mohammad Fazlhashemi, a professor of Islamic theology at Uppsala University, drew parallels with disparaging views of other minorities throughout history, such as US Protestants' terror over Catholic immigration, where Catholics' with their big families were expected to take over.
"A hundred years later we see that it never happened. Today, the same is said about Muslims, that every Somali woman is giving birth to ten children, and that, in turn, they get ten children each. But here in Sweden, their birth rate soon gets adjusted," Fazlhashemi said.
At present, the exact number of Muslims is up for debate due to the absence of religion-based statistics. A 2017 Pew report estimated the proportion of Muslims at 8.1 percent of Sweden's population of 10 million.


A documentary that aims to define the meaning of "peace" will premiere in Iowa this weekend and the filmmaker will attend the debut. Six years in the making, Greg Reitman says "Rooted in Peace" is the story of his personal quest which took him around the planet, with a few stops in southeast Iowa.
"I go on a journey asking the question, 'Why are we so violent?' and why we don't connect with ourselves and with nature," Reitman says. "Along the way, I'm guided by some incredible people." The list includes: Archbishop Desmond Tutu, spiritualist Deepak Chopra, film director David Lynch, media mogul Ted Turner, and music legends Donovan, Pete Seeger and Mike Love.
Reitman first met Love, one of the founders of the Beach Boys, at a 2009 concert in Fairfield. Reitman is a New York native who now lives in southern California and the process of making this film took him to several continents.
The documentary "Rooted in Peace" will be shown Sunday at 7 P.M. at the Sondheim Center for the Performing Arts in Fairfield. Reitman will do a question-and-answer session afterwards. His 2008 film, "Fuel," won the Sundance Audience Choice Award.
Audio: Matt Kelley interview with Greg Reitman. 5:06.
Another radio interview coming up is with James Moore on KRUU LP 100.1 FM today at 7:30pm Thursday, to replay on 3:00pm Friday, and 11am Saturday. You can listen if you're in the Fairfield, Iowa area or online streaming live. James said he may replay Dennis Raimondi's interview with Prudence Farrow at 2pm before Friday's 3:00pm interview with Greg. She discusses a book she wrote, Dear Prudence: The Story Behind The Song, which I am enjoying reading. More on that in a future post. Both interviews involve Maharishi and Transcendental Meditation, appropriate to air together tomorrow on Guru Purnima Day!

You Don't Want to Miss the Alumni Weekend TweetUp!
Mark your calendar! On Saturday, September 24, I, alongside fellow seniors Anthony Filocamo and Marissa DeAngelis, will be hosting the Marist Alumni Weekend TweetUp. The event will last from 3:30-6:30, taking place partly in the Saland Patio in the back of the brand new Hancock Center then we will move to the Hancock Center projection room. Refreshments will be served and a great time will be had by all.
Many have come up to ask me about the project since a lot of people don't know what a TweetUp is. Well, it's simple. A TweetUp is a gathering of people that are friendly on Twitter to have the opportunity to meet up in person. Some TweetUps have more of an academic focus where they learn about social media from their peers; some are entirely social and can be a gathering at a bar or restaurant.
Ours is going to be a little of both.
The event will commence in the Saland Patio of the Hancock Center, located behind the building. There, students, faculty and alumni will get together for the first time for a mingling introduction which will last anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour. The TweetUp will then shift to the projection room of Hancock, where the remainder of the TweetUp will take place. We'll engage students and alumni together so students can learn from alumni and make some connections. For any grade this event will be beneficial but it's especially poignant for seniors; with graduation so sadly and terrifyingly looming over our heads, the "real world" is coming closer and closer every day. In a non-threatening and comfortable atmosphere, any student will be able to talk to alumni about life after graduation: tips on how to adjust, interviewing tactics and dos and don'ts, where to work and perhaps most importantly, what to do now while at Marist to best prepare us for when we do graduate.
Nobody knows the day-to-day grind and life of a Marist student better than those former Marist students who experienced it themselves in the past. Therefore, there's no better mentor for the real world for Marist students than Marist alumni. Who knows? Maybe alumni with jobs may have an opening or a connection for one of our current students for when they graduate?
Not only will we connect and have a good time, but students and alumni will also hear from faculty and other alumni about what they have done with social media, thereby creating a "social media" roundtable of sorts. Obviously, all those attending the TweetUp will have some sort of experience and enjoyment in using Facebook, Twitter, foursquare Goggle+ and more. Students will learn from professionals, while alumni will likely learn of a different way to use the sites due to student's creativity and constant use of all the social networking sites.
Students will even have the opportunity to learn from those alumni in their major. The discussion won't necessarily have to delve toward social media; any topic related to their major that comes to mind can be discussed. For communication majors, the discussion may be about the future of Google+ or which social networking site is best for startup businesses. For business majors, they can talk about social media's ROI, its place in marketing, or even about entrepreneurship in general. Political science majors can talk about the upcoming elections, how politicians are using social media and things along that nature. Like I said, the talk doesn't necessarily have to be involved with social media. The fact that students are connecting and meeting professionals in their interested field from Marist will be wildly beneficial for the development of their craft, whatever that may be.
So, come to the Saland Patio behind the Hancock Center at 3:30 on Saturday, Sept. 24. We hope to see you there and promise you won't regret it!

Q: How to type argument based on type of another argument? How can one dynamically type value in const set = (key: keyof Store, value: any) to type(s) set in Store interface (for example: type number for key foo and type string[] for key bar ).
import store from "electron-store"

interface Store {
  foo: number
  bar: string[]
}

const schema = {
  foo: {
    type: "number",
  },
  bar: {
    type: "array",
    items: {
      type: "string",
    },
  },
} as const

const config = new store<Store>({
  schema: schema,
})

const set = (key: keyof Store, value: any) => {
  return config.set(key, value)
}

A: Keeping your style and implementing set a little more dynamic:
const set = <K extends keyof T, T = Store>(key: K, value: T[K]): void => {
  // ...
}

set('foo', 1);
set('bar', ['string']);

Or simply:
const set = <Key extends keyof Store>(key: Key, value: Store[Key]): void => {
  //
}

How phrase "U++ leads to code reduction" could be proved or based or supported or... from some "scientific" point of view"?
By code reduction, do you mean code that the programmer writes, or actual code that is compiled?
It seems like U++ adds a lot of code to compile, but it's already written for you.
I think the best way to "prove" that U++ reduces the amount of code that the programmer writes is by hard comparisons.
I think a "plain english" way to say it is "U++ takes care of the mundane tasks so you can focus on features"
"very simple" is a bad idea. Just google for "Ultimate++ wxwidgets"..
Sorry, I have expressed myself not clear.
1. I meant "programmer writes"
2. I meant purely among C++ competitors "without comparisons".

Siddhartha Gautama, often known simply as "The Buddha" (c. 5th century BC), was a spiritual teacher and is now the primary figure in Buddhism. There is little certainty about his life or works, as most of his supposed teachers were passed down orally for several hundred years before they were written down. Most historians agree Gautama was a dedicated ascetic, renouncing worldly pleasures and leading a simple and nomadic life. His teachings inspired others to do the same to give up the suffering inherent in worldly goods.

There are no surviving works directly attributed to Siddhartha Gautama, but several Buddhist reference sources include some of his ideas.

The Foundations of Buddhism by Rupert Gethin
Buddhism is a vast and complex religious and philosophical tradition with a history that stretches over 2,500 years, and which is now followed by around 115 million people. In this introduction to the foundations of Buddhism, Rupert Gethin concentrates on the ideas and practices which constitute the common heritage of the different traditions of Buddhism that exist in the world today. From the narrative of the story of the Buddha, through discussions of aspects such as textual traditions, the framework of the Four Noble Truths, the interaction between the monastic and lay ways of life, the cosmology of karma and rebirth, and the path of the bodhisattva, this book provides a stimulating introduction to Buddhism as a religion and way of life.

Steven Wells (10 May 1960 – 24 June 2009[1]) was a British journalist, author, comedian and notable punk poet born in Swindon, Wiltshire.[2] He is best remembered for ranting poetry and his provocative, unapologetic music journalism.[3] In June 2006, he wrote in the Philadelphia Weekly about his treatment for Hodgkin's lymphoma.[4][5] Ater being in remission for a short time, he was diagnosed with enteropathy-associated T-cell lymphoma in January 2009[6] and died on 24 June 2009 in Philadelphia.[7]
2 Tributes
Wells was born in Swindon but moved to Bradford at an early age. The son of a company director, he attended Hanson comprehensive school in Bradford,[citation needed] but left with minimal qualifications in 1977 and later worked in a factory and as a bus conductor. It was at this time that he became involved with punk rock, including the radical socialist Leeds art-punk band The Mekons.
In 1984, he began performing as a ranting poet and stand-up comedian under the names Seething Wells, Swells and Susan Williams. He was a support act to various northern English punk bands, such as The Fall, The Mekons and Gang of Four, along with fellow ranting poets Attila The Stockbroker, Swift Nick and Porky The Poet.
After moving to London, he began to write for NME, initially under the name Susan Williams. He championed socialist soul/punk band The Redskins; American hardcore punk bands such as Black Flag and the Butthole Surfers; British bands that merged thrash, hardcore and heavy metal, such as Extreme Noise Terror, Napalm Death; and certain pop artists, such as Daphne and Celeste.[8] In the 1990s, he diversified, occasionally writing comedy (for shows such as On the Hour[9] and The Day Today) and other non-music related journalism.
In 1992, he and Nick Small formed GobTV, a music video directing partnership. GobTV videos were characterised by extreme visuals, rapid edits, a political agenda and humour. GobTV made promos for The Wildhearts, Manic Street Preachers, and Skunk Anansie amongst others, and were the top UK directors in 1994 and 1995.[10] The partnership ended in 1996. In 1999 he started the Attack! Books publishing house and his debut novel was Tits Out Teenage Terror Totty. His illustrated history Punk: The Stories Behind the Songs was published in 2004.[11] In 2009 he contributed a story to the Love Hotel City anthology.[12]
Wells became a sports columnist for The Guardian,[13] FourFourTwo, 90 Minutes, The Quietus music website and the Philadelphia Weekly, and was in the process of writing several books.
There were many tributes to Wells after his death.[14] Musician Billy Bragg wrote: "The antithesis of the bonehead racist, he was in fact an articulate left-winger and unlike the bully boy who only picks on those weaker than him, Swells chose to target the powerful, the popular, the hip and the cool."[15]
Music journalist Everett True described Wells as "a tastemaker. He informed people's opinions, challenged them, led them, changed them…most of this by default, by sheer force of his personality and peerless ability to entertain.".[16]
Boff Whalley, of anarcho-punk band Chumbawamba wrote: "Seething (Steven) Wells died two days ago. Then tonight, starting to write this, I find out that Michael Jackson has died. One of these two men owned a ranch called Neverland and had three children called Michael Joseph Jackson Jr, Paris Michael Katherine Jackson and Prince Michael Jackson II. The other one was the King of Pop."[1]
Gareth Campesinos!, singer for the indie rock band Los Campesinos! wrote on his band's website that "...[T]here have been a few things that have stood out above others in Los Campesinos!' short history that have made me think "shit, we're really doing this", and one of them was the first time I read Steven Wells ranting against us. That we were on his radar, and that he deemed us worthy of his bile was an honour"."In October last year, Swells wrote: "I have seen the future. It's Garry Bushell being kicked senseless by Gareth from Los Campesinos! forever. So it's not all bad." I promise, if I ever get the chance, for the only good thing I can think of to ever come from Swindon, I will do that". [17]
Welsh rapper Akira The Don, devoted an entire mixtape to Wells shortly after his death, with the song "He Was The Greatest" entirely about Steven Wells in particular. The Wildhearts' 2009 album Chutzpah! is dedicated to Wells.

1. Notice where you are, at this exact moment.
When you feel stressed out, take a minute to look at your surroundings and, as you do, take a deep breath. This may seem like a somewhat silly, obvious tip, but don't underestimate its effect to bring you back to the present and put things into perspective. When you're anxious or tense, you're usually lost in your own worries and this simple technique helps put things into perspective for you. Whether the sun is shining or if you're in good company, you'll usually find something to appreciate that helps you relax.
Okay, so here's another tip that may seem slightly odd but which is really effective. Grounding teaches you to notice how you're connected to your environment, and awakens you to your senses. Notice where you're standing, how your T-shirt feels against your skin, or what your view is, and we guarantee you'll be temporarily distracted from your worries.
3. Slow down your breathing.
Here's where you take notice of what's happening inside your body, in particular your breathing. When you slow down your breathing a message is automatically sent to your brain that tells your body to calm down. Inhale for four seconds, and exhale for seven seconds. Do this for about a minute and you'll feel a whole lot better.
This tip is all about treating yourself as you would treat a friend. If a friend were stressed out, you'd offer them words of comfort to make them feel better. Why wait for a friend to do this for you, when you can just do it for yourself? Offer yourself words of encouragement such as "I can get through this. I'll be okay." Give it a shot – it works.
Give these tips a try, and we guarantee your holiday will be more relaxing and enjoyable! We've also found an app that you'll love, which is available for your Android phone or via the Google Play Store.

That is a good thing as it means that people take the necessary precautions. It also means that elevator designers and elevator engineering expert are doing a good job. This doesn't mean though that one should take for granted basic elevator safety tips. The tips are there for a reason. Elevator companies and elevator consultants recommend them for a reason – they simply come in handy during emergencies. But how should one observe the rules in the first place? Here is how.
The history of elevators dates back to 1889 when the first five hydraulic elevators went into operation. A decade later, the initial technology was improved and modernized by one Gustave Eiffel of France for the Universal Exposition of 1900. Around this time, major improvements happened that gave birth to what people today refer to as modern elevators.
There are just a handful of situations that are worse than being trapped in an elevator. It gets worse where one is afraid of confined spaces, strangers and heights. Unfortunately, elevators often stop with utter disregard to all these fears. They stop when one least expects - like when you are rushing for a meeting or even a job interview. This does not mean though that the world or your world in that moment has come to an end. Unless you are in a life or death situation, the best you can do is to call for help and be patient as you wait for someone to respond. As most elevator consultants put it, any attempt to escape may end up putting you in more danger. Here is what you should do.
Let's Get To Understand About Traction Elevators And Hydraulic Elevators!
There is no doubt at all that the elevator is today one of the most convenient modes of transport inside a building. It gets so much better and convenient where the building in question has more than 10 floors. One can of course, take the stairs. When it comes to speed and accessing the other floors within minutes, the elevator takes the medal. That is perhaps the reason why the elevator is defined as a type of transport equipment for the commute of goods and individuals within a building.
An electric motor is more often than not, the concept behind all elevators. The motor is simply designed to run on traction cables, hydraulic cables or counterweight systems. But like any elevator consultant will tell you, there is much more into elevators than what most people think. To fully understand them, one needs to first understand the different types of elevators available. Read on to learn more.
Like most equipments, elevators require routine upkeep to keep them in top running condition. Unfortunately, they are regularly overlooked when building owners evaluate strategies for retaining tenants, the marketability of their properties, options to increase leasing rates, causes of workplace inefficiencies, and so forth. Keeping up on preventive maintenance helps to keep elevator repair and replacement costs down.
Can You Make Affordable Elevator Upgrades?
A complete attempt at lift modernization can be a costly affair. However, there are a number of other solutions that might be customized to suit your budget. For instance, you might want to look for ways to cut down on elevator energy waste with less expensive options. Begin your lift efficiency upgrades by first getting a handle on how much energy each machine in your premises utilizes. Here are some options worth your consideration.
What Should You Do If You Are Stuck In A Stalled Elevator?
While accidents involving malfunctioning elevators are rare, they do happen sometimes, especially with poorly maintained lifts. As such, it is critical to properly maintain your lift so as to guarantee a consistently high level of safety. According to elevator engineering experts, here are a few basic tips for improving lift safety in the event if it stalls.
Residential elevators have become increasingly popular with homeowners over the last couple of years. Regrettably, a lot of people do not have much knowledge about the options they have when it comes to these very important machines. As such, when they are in a situation where they require acquiring a lift for their homes, it becomes a little overwhelming for them. To start with, it is important to opt for an elevator that is easy to customize while still meeting the standard technical specifications.
Why Add An Elevator Into Your Home?
Does Residential Elevators Require Regular Maintenance?
More and more homeowners are installing residential elevators in their buildings. This means that elevators are no longer solely commercial based. There are many reasons for which a homeowner might decide to include a lift in his or her home. For one, elevators offer better and more comfortable mobility for all that reside in a home. Once a homeowner decides to include a lift in his or her home, there are several things he or she needs to worry about for continued safe utilization and future of his or her machine. With this in mind, here are some tips for how often residential lifts require maintenance.

Q: Mysql group by Regex match value I'm trying to figure out how to group my results from a Mysql query by the value of one of my columns. The database / table in question is the WordPress options table, which has the following columns:

*

*option_id

*option_name

*option_value

*autoload

I have an ACF repeater field set up to hold a series of states and cities. Unfortunately, I have over 5000 cities listed, and ACF works by using a single query for each city, resulting in ridiculously high query counts and page loads. I'm trying to optimize my functions using direct DB calls to reduce the number of queries, and I'm almost there, I just can't figure out how to group my data appropriately. What I'm trying to do right now is get all of the states and their associated info from the DB in a single call. I have the following values I'm trying to get:

*

*State Name

*State Abbreviation

*State Slug

ACF stores these values in the options table, each in its own entry with slightly matching option names. For each state I add, three entries are added to the options table with the following option_name values:

*

*options_states_0_state_name

*options_states_0_state_abbreviation

*options_states_0_state_slug

The numbers increment up as more states are added. I need to get all the info for every state (we have 51 listed in our database, each one has three entries, for a total of 153 records I need to retrieve). I managed to set up a query as follows which gets the info, but it doesn't group it:
select option_name, option_value from wp_options where
option_name REGEXP '^options_states_.+_state_.+$';

I need to group my entries by the number in the middle of the entry (0 in this case), instead of just listing them in order. I want to have 51 results returned instead of 153, and each result should be an array containing state name, state abbreviation, and state slug. How can I group my values by the number in the middle of a value name? I've attached a screenshot of the DB structure and query results for more clarity.

EDIT for clarity:
At the end of the day, I want to have a structure like this returned:
array(
  array(
    'options_states_0_state_name' => 'Alabama',
    'options_states_0_state_abbreviation' => 'AL',
    'options_states_0_state_slug' => 'al',
  ),
  array(
    'options_states_1_state_name' => 'Alaska',
    'options_states_1_state_abbreviation' => 'AK',
    'options_states_1_state_slug' => 'ak',
  ),
  etc...
)

each individual state should have it's own array containing the three values above, grouped by the number that appears in the middle of the key. I don't mind if it's a standard array instead of associative either. I just need everything to be grouped correctly.

A: Solved my own problem. For anybody in the future that may run into this, I ended up finding out that you can't return a match value from a REGEXP expression natively in MySQL. Instead, I had to use string comparison functions to trim out the value I needed, and then ran a few inner joins to get each value I needed in the format required. Here's the SQL code I used:
SELECT
first.option_value as state_name,
second.option_value as state_abbreviation,
third.option_value as state_slug
from tsd_cm_options as first
inner join tsd_cm_options as second on second.option_name = CONCAT('options_states_',SUBSTRING_INDEX(SUBSTRING_INDEX(first.option_name, 'options_states_',  -1), '_state_name', 1),'_state_abbreviation')
inner join tsd_cm_options as third on third.option_name = CONCAT('options_states_',SUBSTRING_INDEX(SUBSTRING_INDEX(first.option_name, 'options_states_',  -1), '_state_name', 1),'_state_slug')
where first.option_name like "options_states_%_state_name"

It's a bit messy, but it gets the job done and runs fairly quickly. Here's a screenshot of the output:


A variety of systemically administered chemical agents interferes with the development of human hair, horny layer, or both. These agents include vitamin A, thallium, antineoplastic compounds, hypocholesteremic drugs, chloroprene dimers, mimosine, and anticoagulants. As a general rule, the hair root is more easily affected by these compounds than the epidermis. Only the growing hairs are attacked; hence the scalp is the most commonly involved area. Disturbed epidermal differentiation follows mainly the administration of hypocholesteremic drugs.
The mechanisms of action of these compounds are incompletely understood. Vitamin A may divert cytoplasmic metabolic processes from keratin formation to mucopolysaccharide synthesis or may act by releasing a protease. Thallium interferes with the utilization or incorporation of cystine. The antineoplastic drugs inhibit mitoses in the rapidly proliferating hair matrix in a variety of ways. Hypocholesteremic drugs possibly prevent the synthesis of a proteohipid cement, while the modes of action of the chioroprene dimers, mimosine, and anticoagulants are essentially unknown. It is obvious, therefore, that hair loss and disturbed epidermal differentiation are nonspecific effects, resulting from a variety of mechanisms.
Few attempts have been made to correlate cutaneous effects or disease conditions with other pharmacologic actions of these compounds. The specific influence of vitamin A and especially of its derivatives should be studied in greater depth. Inhibition of hair growth has been used as a measure of the toxicity of cancer chemotherapeutic drugs. On the whole, however, the potentialities of these agents for pharmacologic and dermatologic research have not been sufficiently exploited.
Abnormal developments of horny structures are easily observable, accessible, and essentially harmless side-effects of drugs. Broadening of their study would enlarge our understanding not only of the biology of these processes, but also of the effects of a number of drugs. Such investigations could make important contributions to the therapy of many essentially incurable scaling skin diseases which affect a large proportion of the population, and could help in the fight against neoplastic diseases.

U.S. military should be sent back to Afghanistan
Benedetta Daugereau, Arts and Reviews Editor
What's happening with our military in Afghanistan? Or more importantly, what's happening with our military that's not in Afghanistan? The problem with Afghanistan and the Taliban is one that started 20 years ago, and though it might be different now, should America still be helping and sending support to help the people?
Biden's plan was to remove all American troops in Afghanistan but keep the American Embassy open, leaving 1,400 people protected by 650 marines and soldiers. He believed that the Afghan forces would be able to hold off the Taliban for 1-2 years, and also assumed that a full takeover by the Taliban would take at least 18 months. He had an emergency backup plan in case the Taliban took over faster than he thought. All Americans in danger would be taken to an airport in Kabul by helicopters over time, but no plan was established for if the airport was taken over by the Taliban.
The plan failed miserably because there was a lot of misjudgment. Everyone believed we had time on our side to remove all the people safely out of harm from the Taliban, but as soon as the American troops left, the Taliban took over in a matter of days. The Biden administration believed the Afghan forces would be strong enough to fight for at least a year or two, but he deeply overestimated their willingness to fight at all. He also underestimated the impact that removing their forces would have on the Afghan people. After removing their troops, all the Afghan soldiers' confidence was shattered, and they did not believe in their government anymore.
The removal of the American troops may have seemed like a smart move to make when it was done, but the aftermath of it was completely unexpected. Should the military be sent back in to help the Afghanistan people? We don't have an obligation to, but there are many things that no one is obligated to do that we do anyways, and it's all based on our conscience. As a country that is always fighting for human rights, it looks terrible on our end to be leaving a country completely defenseless in a time when they needed our help.

York Oecta Collective Agreement
By glnhall22 | October 18, 2021
The main tasks of the local bargaining unit are to represent its members in local collective bargaining with their employer`s school board, to deal with members` complaints, and to defend the health and safety of the work environment. As a result of provincial negotiations, CUPE YCDSB has announced that its members will be in a legal strike position as of Monday, September 30, 2019. If no agreement is reached at the provincial level by September 30, CUPE members will take legal action on September 30 in the form of work to regulate sanctions. On October 6, CUPE and the province announced the signing of a new collective agreement. This interim agreement is currently being ratified by CUPE members. The collective agreements of the YCDSB`s three union partners expired on August 31, 2019. The York Catholic District School Board is very pleased to learn that the Ministry of Education and the Ontario Secondary School Teachers` Federation (OSSTF) have reached an interim agreement at the provincial level. Ratification votes with OSSTF members are tentatively scheduled for May. As a Catholic school board, the YCDSB respects collective bargaining and hopes that a freely negotiated agreement will be reached by Sunday.
Although we are not involved in key negotiations, we are convinced that the parties concerned are working hard to reach an agreement. On 8 April 2020, OECTA announced that its members had ratified the agreement on the main terms of a new treaty. On Thursday, March 12, 2020, the Ontario English Catholic Teachers` Association (OECTA), the Ontario Catholic School Trustees` Association (OCSTA) and the Government of Ontario entered into an interim collective agreement. As a result, OECTA suspended all strike activities pending ratification of the agreement. As you may know from recent media reports, the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) is currently negotiating a renewed provincial collective agreement and has been on statutory strike since Monday, September 30, 2019. The York Catholic District School Board is very pleased to learn that the provincial and CUPE bargaining teams have negotiated a new collective agreement. Therefore, CUPE will NOT strike tomorrow, Monday, October 7, 2019. This means that the central agency of each union negotiates with the province AND its local units negotiate with each school board.
Different aspects of a collective agreement are negotiated at each level. We understand that a work stoppage can be troubling for students, parents and school communities, and we ensure that all stakeholders are kept informed throughout the process. As a Catholic school board, the YCDSB respects collective bargaining and hopes that a freely negotiated agreement will be reached soon. Today, the Ontario English Catholic Teachers Association (OECTA) announced that no interim agreement has been reached with the province and that a lawsuit against the work will begin on Monday, January 13, 2020. The Ontario English Catholic Teachers Association (OECTA) reached a preliminary agreement with the provincial government and the Ontario Catholic School Trustees Association (OCSTA) on March 12, 2020. The York Catholic District School Board (YCDSB) and CUPE 2331 have reached an interim agreement. .

Michigan's Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore Will No Longer Be Free
Tony LaBrie
Tony LaBrie Published: December 14, 2021
Charlie Wollborg; Unsplash
Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore is hands down the most beautiful place to visit in Michigan's Upper Peninsula and for the first time ever, it's going to cost you to visit the 70,000 acre park.
Starting in 2022, not only will Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore start charging visitor entrance fees but they're also planning to increase fees for camping and lighthouse tours.
Why is Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore Implementing These News Fees?
According to MLive, the park is citing infrastructure strains due to the increase in visitors over the past decade as to the reason why their going to implement and increase their fees.
There was a huge visitor surge in 2020 mainly due to the pandemic. Over 1.2 million people visited the park that year. If history repeats itself year after year, it's going to take a lot of money to maintain the park.
Dennis Buchner; Unsplash
When Will the Fees at Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore Go Into Effect?
Starting in January, campground fees will go from $20 per night to $25 per night.
The Au Sable Lighthouse tours will cost only $5 per person.
The New Entrance Fee Won't Go Into Effect Right Away and Will Be Phased Over a Three-Year Period.
Starting in March the cost per person to walk, ride a bike, or boat-in will be $5 (good for 7 days). The cost will increase to $10 in 2023 and $15 in 2024.
A 7 day motorcycle/vehicle pass will run $10. The cost for a motorcycle pass will increase to $15 in 2023 and $20 in 2024.
The cost for a vehicle pass will increase over the years as well.
There's a lot to maintain at Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore and it seems that most people are on board with the new fees that will go into effect next year.

Q: Writing custom checkers for Clang Static Analyzer I've just finished following the "Getting Started" instructions from the clang analyzer page.
My XCode is currently using the checker build 278
Right now I'm trying to follow some guides I can find to write my own custom checkers like
http://blog.trailofbits.com/2014/04/27/using-static-analysis-and-clang-to-find-heartbleed/
http://bbannier.github.io/blog/2015/05/02/Writing-a-basic-clang-static-analysis-check.html
Was hoping that someone can point me in the right direction and I'm not very familiar with building clang projects.
Are there any IDE available that would help?
How should I add the custom checker I wrote to the build 278?

A: I have recently started using clang checker's and here's how I got my custom checker to work with clang.
You have to modify the Checkers.td to register your checker.
<path-to-llvm>/llvm/tools/clang/lib/StaticAnalyzer/Checkers/Checkers.td

I made a debug checker to I put it under debug group and added these lines:
def MyCustomChecker : Checker<"DebugUsingMyChecker">,
HelpText<"Print results of my custom checker">,
DescFile<"DebugCheckers.cpp">; //this is the file where we define the class file of our checker

Then edit the DebugCheckers.cpp to add your checker's class to be invoked by the newly registered checker.
<path-to-llvm>/llvm/tools/clang/lib/StaticAnalyzer/Checkers/DebugCheckers.cpp

And add under debug checkers tag
namespace
{
    class MyCustomChecker : public Checker<check::ASTCodeBody> {
    public:
        void checkASTCodeBody(const Decl *D, AnalysisManager& mgr,
                    BugReporter &BR) const {
            if (MyCustomChecker* CC = mgr.getAnalysis<CustomChecker>(D)) {
                 CC->dump(mgr.getSourceManager());
            }
        }
    };
}

void ento::registerMyCustomChecker(CheckerManager &mgr) {
    mgr.registerChecker<MyCustomChecker>();
}

After this, you can place the relevant class files in the folder:
<path-to-llvm>/llvm/tools/clang/lib/Analysis/

And edit the CMakeList.txt in that folder to include your class file.
Hope that clarifies the process. You can also read this link for more: http://clang-analyzer.llvm.org/checker_dev_manual.html
As far as IDE's are concerned, you can use any IDE which supports's CMake based projects (like CLion). You can look at this link for more: http://llvm.org/docs/CMake.html

We know quality is 'value to some person', so it stands to reason that risk is also subjective.
If we use risk as a factor to determine what to test, then how you test, what you test and your testing strategy will evolve and change. Is it though?
It's easy to get stuck into thinking you are this type or that type of tester. Or that this is the best way to do testing. The reality is that as your skill grows, as the skills of developers grow, what you test *should* change.
Perform a risk check. Is the testing being done right now, identifying the risks our company cares out? Or, is it finding low risk bugs that no-one seems to value? That may be an indicator to review your testing strategy and maybe focus on risks elsewhere.
Maybe your functional testing is at a state that is humming along smoothly, switch your focus to removing pain points. Ask those around you what is causing pain and how can it be removed?

Cypress Real Estate and Community Information
Cypress's first inhabitants included the native Gabrielino people, who had settled in the area over 800 years ago and maintained an active lifestyle of hunting game and gathering plants near what is now Cypress College's main campus. They were soon displaced by the Spanish government, who gave tracts of land to their soldiers in lieu of pay for their service. Mexico gained its independence in 1821, then later lost Alta California to the United States and many of these tracts of land were subdivided into farms and ranch land.
Cypress was originally nicknamed "Waterville" due to the many artesian wells in the area, but was incorporated under the name "Dairy City" in 1956 due to the vast number of dairy farms in the area. After World War II, the land was considered to valuable for farming or ranching and the dairies were sold to developers to build housing. The city was later renamed after Cypress Elementary School, which took its name from the Cypress trees planted to protect the schoolhouse from seasonal Santa Ana winds. By the 1970's, no dairy farms remained in the city and families were discovering the numerous housing opportunities in Cypress that had replaced the dairy land.
Cypress is now a thriving suburban community that offers home buyers a stable economy, friendly atmosphere and convenient access to many area attractions and job centers.
The Cypress Recreation & Community Services Department offers more than 40 modern recreational facilities that are located near many high-value homes for sale in Cypress. Some of these facilities include a senior center, a community center and 20 parks. The Cypress Recreation & Community Services Department also offers many fun recreational classes and activities. Some of the most popular activities include art classes, cooking classes, dance classes and several recreational sports activities. For more information about these activities, please call 714-229-6780 during normal business hours.
Cypress is located near many area attractions that offer home buyers fun ways to spend time with family and friends. Some of these attractions include the Los Alamitos Race Track, Cypress College Swap Meet, Rancho Los Alamitos Historic Site, and the Cypress Nature Park Complex.
Many fun events take place in the city of Cypress. Some of the most popular events include the Cypress Community Festival, the Cypress Fourth of July Independence Celebration and the Cypress Art League's spring art show. Visit the City of Cypress Page to find details about other local events held by the community.

The PCI395 features 16 analog voltage outputs, integrated on the factory standard, ANSI certified M-module standard. Each output has a 12- or 16-bit resolution and a software programmable output range (0..+10V or -10..+10V). Control of the analog output is as easy as writing the binary equivalent to a dedicated register (per channel). Conversion takes place automatically. If desired, channels can be synchronized by presetting the channels and then give a simultaneous update command. The local TMS320C203 DSP is capable of executing custom algorithms for optional data processing.
