'We're going through a bumpy phase in global politics'.
How long is a 'phase' and how are the qualifications below being met?
'...But as long as we stay true to our democratic principles. As long as elections have integrity, as long as we respect freedom of speech, freedom of religion, as long as there are checks and balances in our government. ... Then I have confidence that over the long term, progress will continue."
Wonder what he's thinking now...and what, if anything, he and intelligent politicians can do about what seems to be a planned global takeover by...who exactly ?
' The president also speculated about the roots of economic and racial anxieties in Western nations which have manifested themselves in major political shakeups like President-elect Donald Trump's upset victory and the United Kingdom's decision to leave the European Union.
We need to look at what we have in common and not that which separates us. Crude bigotry and specific targeting is taking place amidst a generalised anxiety, perhaps a global existential crisis, resulting in increasing conflict. The cycle of fear and violence runs on and on. Not a phase or a fashion. But a human sickness.
Will we never learn ?
Some see globalism as the threat and nationalism as the solution. We are past the point where we can choose. Like it or not we live in a global economy. Trump's America first policy is going to serve as an economic lesson, although it is a lesson many of his followers may not learn. Just as Trump's wall would be paid for by the American taxpayer, his tariffs against China will largely be paid for by American consumers.
The term "made in America" has become meaningless since parts and materials may have been sourced from around the world. Foreign owned corporations have manufacturing and corporate sites in the U.S. that have created American jobs. On the other side, many American manufacturers have facilities abroad. His tariffs hurt them as well. Foreigners invest in the U.S. and Americans invest abroad.
The way past 'us' and 'them' may be via an extension of 'us' that is not defined by nation or ethnicity but by economic partnership. I think most people would prefer to see everyone prosper rather than 'us' not to. If they can see how attempts to hurt 'them' hurts 'us' they will be less likely to do so.
I think the question of whether this is just a phase depends largely on the question of whether democracies can ever really bring themselves to think of the longer term and the bigger picture. I think part of the definition of the term "populist politician" is a politician who is eager to gain short-term popularity at the expense of long-term well-being. One of the more obvious ways in which we can see this playing out is in the scrapping of various efforts to protect the environment. But we can also see it in the desire to supercharge the economy for a short-term boom and the appeal to nationalism and protectionism.
I don't think we, the voting public, can be relied on to think of the long-term in large enough numbers because we've been increasingly conditioned to be cynical and un-trusting of all external sources of information, so we naturally and logically fall back on our immediate experiences. We vote for politicians based on how they promise to change our lives right now in ways that we can measure directly without having to rely on the "fake news". Never mind such esoteric, far-off and probably fake-news issues like Climate Change, we think. That makes short term populism ... popular. It makes it more likely to work as a method of gaining political power.
Can we ever hope to have leaders who lead; who set out the arguments for long-term gain? The likes of Trump, Erdogan and Putin mean I'm really not sure any more. But I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
I see no way that a democracy can be anything other than a popularity contest. Even if long term gain became popular one day.
Eduk wrote: I see no way that a democracy can be anything other than a popularity contest. Even if long term gain became popular one day.
Yes, this is true. But there are various different ways to sell a product (i.e. a politician) in order to make it popular. Selling based on long term gain is generally harder than selling based on immediate gain, especially in a world where people don't trust the sources of information that elucidate those long term gains. I was just wondering whether there will ever be politicians who believe enough in those long term gains to think it worth the effort of trying to use them as selling points.
Within the USA as with many thinkers from early times to the present, suspicions as to the will of a government controlled by a real democracy have always been prevalent. The founding fathers restricted voting in elections to property owners and the senators were originally not elected but appointed to keep popular choice of the governors away from the general population.. Towards the present, as the vote gradually was gained by all citizens, other methods, as witnessed in the 2016 presidential election, kept a true democracy from directing popular outcomes. Huge sums of money are now necessary to elect a candidate which places government control directly in the hands of those who supply the funds. Internationally the Monroe Doctrine set the tone of USA international attitude towards democracy as it overturned democratic elections of leaders in Guatamala, Chile, Iran, and other places and replaced them with brutal dictators more favorable to US agendas.
While an accurate summation, it is not illogical for a government of a particular stripe to rank it's own interests over those of another country who happens to have a similar structure.
The point, of course, is not a matter of logic but a conflict of proclaimed ideals. if hipocracy is considered as accepted behavior I cannot demand a different dynamic.
Some are Ends driven and others are Means driven.
I am not sure that democracy works after populations reach a certain size. When the numbers of people go beyond certain thresholds emergent qualities appear to appear that are seemingly not much noticed or understood in themselves, just culturally contextualised, eg. Just as a crowd has emergent properties not seen in small groups, the same appears to be the case at larger scales.
Democracy is increasingly looking to me like a system that works for medium population economies. The US is by far the world's most populous democracy and, more than most, is nudging towards autocracy - the genies that Trump is releasing can't be put back in the bottle.
"Where the people fear the government you have tyranny. Where the government fears the people you have liberty" it seems we are tending towards the former situation.
US democracy was always pretty much of a case of money over the people with concessions towards democrace accompanied by less obvious means taking over when concessions on voting etc. were extended but he current era when popular needs and even necessary infrastructure have been ignored by open thievery and corruption is the nadir of popular government. Fear has always been a major element of control and when the USSR vanished the open government panic that there was no major fear on the horizon gave the government an exercise in wild panic until the idiotic terrorist monster was manufactured. Obama exulted in random murders of kids herding goats, wedding parties and funeral processions and there was little objection to this nonsensical horror.
That may be true up to a point until until collective fear turns into a collective rage when it begins to be the government's time to fear. Among the main players it seems the U.S. is becoming the third most sinister country in the world after Russia and China.
The USA was developed out of genecide of the native population and prospered immensely using slavery and early on the Monroe Doctrine declsred its dominion over the entire Western Hemisphere. There is nothing new here.
...a little too simplistic. Whereas there is an element of truth the story is in fact much more complicated.
No doubt there are other factors involved but the obvious facts are undeniable. The USA is not unique in this pattern. It is clearly being repeated today by Israel and all the nations that reached out to the world to dominate and more or less enslave other cultures such as Spain, Holland, England, Portugual, France, etc., engaged in the same behavior and covered their thievery by the idiotic excuse that they possessed a superior culture and were raising what they characterized as savages into a higher level of civilization. The world is now reaching a climate crisis and a crisis where a nuclear war is civilizartion's suicide and world leadership is too stupid tp react properly.

"Our Lady of Paris in flames". Catholic convert Sohrab Ahmari said on Twitter, "Lord God, preserve the relic of the Crown of Thorns".
Video from the fire shows firefighters spraying a hose from halfway up the scaffolding.
It was not immediately clear what had caused the fire. The fire may potentially involve renovation works being carried out at the site, the fire service said.
Others have also taken to Twitter to share their sadness at the destruction of the historical landmark. Breitbart reported in March that twelve French churches were vandalized in the course of one week. Hugo's 1831 work led to revived interest in the cathedral and a major - partly botched - restoration that began in 1844. That claim has not been verified. Witnesses said the whole island, the Ile de la Cite, was being evacuated.
For Martin, as for other Catholics, it was hard not to see several layers of symbolism in the flames: The fire broke out during Holy Week, the most sacred time on the Christian calendar, at a time when the Catholic Church worldwide is engulfed in controversy over the abuse of children, and when France has seen months of public anger over rising fuel prices. We are mobilized on site in close connection with the @dioceseParis. "I urge everyone to respect the security perimeter". The French president cancelled speech to nation, and rushed to the fire scene.
Built over a century starting in 1163, Notre-Dame is considered to be among the finest examples of French Gothic cathedral architecture. The stone portions of the building may survive more-or-less undamaged, but the artifacts contained within, the stained glass, the organ that dates to 1738, and the various reliquaries could be a complete loss.

Lawless could do with breaking a few more rules
'It is not the violence that sets a man apart. It's the distance he's prepared to go. We're survivors … We control the fear'.
So drawls Tom Hardy in Lawless, as he explains to younger brother Shia LaBeouf the importance of cultivating one's mythological status amidst the bleakness of the American Prohibition. The problem with John Hillcoat's new film is it's all about the violence: there's never a sense it's getting to grips with the context of the period, or exposing the manifest ironies of mortals attaining legendary status.
Based on Matt Bondurant's book 'The Wettest County in the World', Lawless centers on three brothers who operate a bootlegging outfit in Franklin County, Virginia during the 1930s. It's a volatile time, with the country folk under increasing threat of violence from inner-city criminals. LaBeouf is the youngest brother Jack, an eager beaver whose desire to get more involved with the business sees him pitching to Chicago mobster Floyd Banner (Gary Oldman).
A hulking Tom Hardy is the stoic older sibling Forrest, a quiet presence given to explosions of messy violence. Jason Clarke completes the trio as perpetually inebriated Howard. The family operation, and those around the county, soon come under threat due to the presence of oily, perfumed Federal Agent Charley Rakes (Guy Pearce), a psychopath who makes up in brute force what he lacks in the eyebrow department. Rakes wants a cut of the brothers' profits, sparking a classic Wild West confrontation between the rubes and the city slickers.
LaBeouf's juicy opening narration promises a drama that will hit the back of the throat (and everywhere else). Describing the moonshine stills as lighting up the wooded hills 'like the lights of a Christmas tree', it looks as if Hillcoat is promising a poetic deconstruction of a feuding landscape in the style of his terrific film, The Proposition. Sadly, despite the wonderful work by the production designers, costume team and cinematographer Benoit Delhomme, the script takes only the most superficial interest in the setting. Although the film convinces you of the period, it never tells you much about it.
This is a real shame as both Hillcoat and writer Nick Cave (who also co-scores with Warren Ellis) explored the awful savagery of violence to wonderful effect in both The Proposition. Hillcoat's previous film The Road was also fascinating in this regard. Ultimately, Lawless is your token Hollywood story of good guys taking on the pantomime baddie. Compared to such seminal works as John Sayles' Matewan, in which striking West Virginia coal miners face off against the hostile Baldwin-Felts detectives from the city, Lawless is oddly diluted moonshine.
Matewan drew on staples of the Western to witty and dynamic effect, from the cinematography to the score; Lawless doesn't so much give us characters as broad archetypes. That the central figures are watchable at all is down to the casting. The movie lucks out thanks to the skills of brilliant performers who do so much with body language, glances and gestures that we can overlook the weaknesses in the narrative.
LaBeouf blooms under Hillcoat's direction, his puppyish energy coming unstuck at the hands of a vicious beating courtesy of Pearce's sadistic villain. Hardy shows his mastery of yet another accent and is able to marshal his bulk to create the sense of a dangerous yet compassionate man looking out for his kid brother. Although he's massively built, Hardy plays Forrest as an intriguingly reserved presence, only resorting to violence when he needs to. Pearce meanwhile is little more than a cartoon villain with parted hair and leather gloves but is enormously entertaining nonetheless, clearly riffing on Tim Roth's performance as the effete but ruthless dandy in Rob Roy.
None of the actors cited are given anything especially substantial to do but their instinctive talents help convince us, even when the script is lacking in-depth. What a pity that many of the other stars are given even less to work with, especially Oldman, who does so much with 5 minutes of screen-time that it's frustrating he isn't given more. Jessica Chastain and Mia Wasikowska are the women in Hardy and LaBeouf's lives respectively but any grace notes stem directly from the actresses themselves, not the script's rote treatment of them.
There's no denying that the film deploys a sense of bone-crunching gusto that is highly entertaining. But what we really want is a deconstruction of those words growled by Hardy, a meaty commentary on how people perpetuate their own legend in times of hardship, to be reflected in both Hillcoat's visual sense and Cave's script.
In the end, we simply cheer the heroes and boo the baddies. More is expected from the mouth-watering combination of a great director and a turbulent period in American history. In the end, Lawless, rather disappointingly, plays it safe, an enjoyably full-blooded, adult experience but a superficial one nonetheless.

Q: jquery can we loop a function? why cant this type of loop works? if this function not looped, it works perfectly. i need this code because i have dynamic appended div
$(document).ready(function(){
    for (var count = 1; count < 10; count++) {
            $('#keranjang').on('keyup', '#tinggikm'+count+', #lebarkm'+count, function(){

            var tinggi=parseInt($('#tinggikm'+count).val());
            var lebar=parseInt($('#lebarkm'+count).val());
            var harga=(tinggi * lebar) * 1000;

            $('#hargakm'+count).val(format1(harga, "Rp."));
            });
    }
});

this is my html from appended jquery
countkm = 1;
 countj = 1;
 countp = 1;
$("#somebutton").click(function () {
 var tipe = $( "#selecttipe option:selected" ).val();
  $("#keranjang").append(
                '
'+
                    '
'+
                    (tipe == "km" ? 'Kaca Mati ' : tipe == "j" ? 'Jendela ' : 'Pintu ')+(tipe == "km" ? countkm : tipe == "j" ? countj : countp)+
                    '
'+
                    '
'+
                        'TINGGI (cm)'+
                        '<input type="text" class="form-control" value="'+
                        (tipe == "Pintu" ? '200' : '100')+
                        '" id="tinggi'+tipe+(tipe == "km" ? countkm : tipe == "j" ? countj : countp)+'">'+
                        'LEBAR (cm)'+
                        '<input type="text" class="form-control" value="'+
                        '100'+
                        '" id="lebar'+tipe+(tipe == "km" ? countkm : tipe == "j" ? countj : countp)+'">'+
                        'HARGA'+
                        '<input type="text" class="form-control" disabled value="'+
                        '0'+
                        '" id="harga'+tipe+(tipe == "km" ? countkm : tipe == "j" ? countj : countp)+'">'+
                    '
'+
                '
'
                );
                if (tipe == "km"){countkm++;}else if(tipe =="j"){countj++;}else{countp++;};

});

and this is my button html to create the div
<select style="float:left; width:50%" class="form-control select2me" id="selecttipe" required>
                            <option value="km">Kaca Mati</option>
                            <option value="j">Jendela</option>
                            <option value="p">Pintu</option>
                        </select>
                        <button id="somebutton" style="float:left; margin-left:10px" type="submit" class="btn"> Tambah</button>

A: What about using id starts with selector instead of looping like this:-
$(document).ready(function() {
  $('#keranjang').on('keyup', '[id^=tinggikm], [id^=lebarkm]', function() {

    var tinggi = parseInt($('#tinggikm' + count).val());
    var lebar = parseInt($('#lebarkm' + count).val());
    var harga = (tinggi * lebar) * 1000;
    $('#hargakm' + count).val(format1(harga, "Rp."));
  });
});

A: It is not a good approach to loop for simply attaching an event. You can do it in a better and simpler way using data attributes. I am guessing that you need to attach a keyup event on dynamically generated input fields.
Here is what you can do;

*

*Assign a unique id to every element in you div on HTML creation time in your view e.g id="tinggikm#{i}" which will render like id="tinggikm1", id="tinggikm2".

*Then add common class i.e "my_keyup_input" to the input field on which you want to call keyup method. IMPORTANT! add a data attribute for the unique count like this data-count="#{i}" depending your language.

*Then finally in jQuery you can listen to the event using the class selector,
something like this;
 $(document).ready(function(){

$('.my_keyup_input').on('keyup',    function(){

  // Lets get the count to uniquely identify our related div elements
  var count = $(this).data('count');

  var tinggi=parseInt($('#tinggikm'+count).val());
  var lebar=parseInt($('#lebarkm'+count).val());
  var harga=(tinggi * lebar) * 1000;

  $('#hargakm'+count).val(format1(harga, "Rp."));
});
});

A: Based on the created html, an option is to capture all keyups and use the containing .form-group to find the respective inputs and values. This way no referencing to specific created id's is necessary. There are more effective ways by changing the way the html is created, but the below should work with the current functionality:
$('#keranjang').on('keyup', function(e){ //bind on keyup for entire container (no loop)
    var inp = $(e.target), //the input for which the keyup was captured
        grp=inp.closest('.form-group') //the group the input is in
      inputs = grp.find('.form-control'), //all inputs
        lbl = inputs.filter(':disabled'); //the disabled input is the total (if possible: using specific classes for the inputs and labels would be better)
  lbl.val(inputs.not(lbl).toArray().reduce(function(t,i){return t * parseInt(i.value);}, 1000)); //use reduce on the other inputs, to multiply them with each other (with a base of 1000)
});

Sadie Robertson Thanks New Husband for Saying Her Stretchmarks Are 'So Cool'
Sadie Robertson thanked her new husband, Christian Huff, for loving all of her — including her stretchmarks — in a candid Instagram post on Saturday, December 7.
Sadie Robertson and Husband Christian Huff Share First Wedding Photos: 'Forever, Me and You'
"'Whoa babe your stretch marks are so cool' – things husbands say," the former Duck Dynasty star, 22, captioned two photos of herself relaxing on the beach in a red one-piece swimsuit.
"I'm finding it's pretty cool that the things I was insecure about my husband thinks are the best," the newlywed continued. "But when I really start to think about it, i think that the things most people are insecure about are the things we think are the best on the ones we love. Smile lines, face wrinkles, stretch marks, scars that say we made it through something hard, and all the other things we notice in the mirror that bother us, our friends and family notice and love and are proud of the people we have become."
"Just think about it," she concluded. "If we love it for other people let's just start loving it for ourselves too – it would make life a lot more fun."
The Robertson Family of 'Duck Dynasty': Where Are They Now?
The former reality TV star's husband of two weeks commented on her post, writing, "My babyyyyy so proud of you and so in love with you honey love your honesty and realness."
Robertson and Huff, 21, tied the knot on November 25 in a ceremony at her family's farm in West Monroe, Louisiana, in front of guests including the bride's parents, Korie and Willie Robertson, Dancing With the Stars alum Alfonso Ribeiro and Fuller House's Candace Cameron Bure.
Earlier this month, the couple, who got engaged in June after nine months of dating, shared photos from their beach honeymoon in Mexico.
Sadie Robertson Shares Honeymoon Pics With New Husband Christian Huff: 'Marriage Is Awesome'
"I might not be able to take the beach with me BUT IM TAKING THE VIEW AYEEEE," the "WHOA That's Good" podcast host captioned her happy snaps on December 2. "I know it's only week 1 but marriage is awesome."
On Saturday, Robertson's mom, Korie, shared three photos from the couple's wedding ceremony that showed the special moment when their loved ones gathered around them in prayer.
"This moment this was when everything stopped," she captioned the pics. "All of the planning and preparing, the decorating and the details, the making sure I hadn't forgotten anything, that I had said all the things I wanted to say to her before she got married, all that lead up to right here…everything stopped as we placed our hands on Sadie and Christian and together lifted our hearts to God. Ours and Christian's family came to the front after they said their vows just for a moment and prayed over them, asking of one accord for God to bless them, to protect them, to make them strong and courageous, to hold them in His arms, to make theirs a love that will never fail, to give them a beautiful life-together in His will and a home filled with the fruits of His Spirit of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, self-control and also a home filled with sweet, sweet children."
"We all prayed silently and quietly," she concluded. "I don't know what each person's prayer was specifically, but I know that God heard our every word and He loves to answer the prayers of His children. Thanking Him already for what He has planned for these two. This was a holy moment that I will never, ever forget."

Q: nginx rewrite rules in location I have to redirect the following url:
http://wwww.domain.de/dynamic_subdir1/subdir2/subdir3/?querysting

to
http://www.domoain.de/dynamic_subdir1/static_dir/subdir2/subdir3/file.php?querysting

In my configuration:
location ^~ /subdir2/subdir3/ {
   rewrite  ^/(.+?)/subdir2/subdir3/ /$1/static_dir/subdir2/subdir3/file.php?$args break;
}

but i get allways a 500 internal error and in the error log i can see the following:
rewrite or internal redirection cycle while internally redirecting

What is wrong in my configuration?

A: I think you're almost there.  Assuming you're trying to rewrite this (e.g. not issue a HTTP redirect), try anchoring your regexp:
   rewrite  ^/(.+?)/subdir2/subdir3/$ /$1/static_dir/subdir2/subdir3/file.php?$args break;

Note the $ at the end of the first pattern.

Q: Correlation between submit and beginform I have a problem when trying to render multiple models in a view.
Lets say that I have:
Model
public int ID { get; set; }
public ArrayOfThings[] Things { get; set; }

View
for (int i = 0; Model.Things.Count() > i; i++)
{
    using (Html.BeginForm("Action", "Controller", FormMethod.Post, new { Id = i }))
    {
        <p>@Html.CheckBoxFor(m => m.Things[i].IsDone, "Some Check")</p>

        <input type="submit" title="Delete" value="Check as Done" name="btn_submit" />
    }
}

How would I do this so that the input (submit) button would correlate with the right form? As it is, only the first form is being affected.

A: I think that maybe you need to change your mind.

BOND: Let me shift gears a little bit here. One thing I noted in looking at your life is what seems to me to be a fairly large amount of international travel for someone of your time and place. Almost immediately after leaving college, you're overseas. What did these trips mean to you?
HEIGHT: Well, it certainly meant to me that when I was twenty-three, I was the president -- the vice president of the United Christian Youth Movement of North America. And there was a conference in England, and I was one of the ten young Americans, two of whom were African American -- two of us -- sent to the World Conference of the Churches in England. Well, to be chaperoned and cared for by Dr. Benjamin Mays and his wife, to be exposed to the greatest leaders in all branches of Christendom, to be -- to hear Dr. [Robert] Tawney teach about equality and what equality meant, to lift that out of what I had learned in my other things, even in my oratorical contests, and to have that kind of exposure, meant that I had -- it gave me an ecumenical experience that has made a difference in my whole life. I don't have any problem with dealing with people of difference. In fact, I love it. But I think I learned so much there, and also about issues like war and peace. In the Oxford meetings, I chose the economic order, and so that's where I studied inequality. But when we listened to all the broad speeches, the Reinhold Niebuhrs and Paul Tillichs and people like that, it opened up a world to me that I didn't even dream of before. So that to have that kind of experience, and then to return home -- that was in August of 1937 -- and to return home in November 1937 and come to the YWCA, where they had seen me at work in the community, invited me, and there to meet Mary McLeod Bethune and Eleanor Roosevelt all on the same day, meant to me that I just felt there was a purpose for my life, and that I had so much that was unusual in experience, that I had to feel responsible. And from 1937, for the rest of those two women's lives, they were a great influence in mine.

Best known for its most famous son, the Renaissance giant Leonardo, Vinci is a quiet hill town, whose narrow streets and surrounding vineyards and olive groves are much the same as in Leonardo's time. The houses cluster around the medieval stone tower known as the Castello dei Conti Guidi in an elongated shape much resembling that of the hull of a ship. In the following days these streets will undergo a massive change thanks to a series of countless events, unfortunately too many to mention.
Saturday 28th and Sunday 29th July the town will be packed with 'strange' characters participating at the Unicorn Festival, a medieval fantasy role-playing event, now at its 8th edition. The historic centre will be transformed into a new imaginary town, split into 5 sections where adults, children, fantasy lovers, cosplayers and comic-strip enthusiasts will quickly find the event they're interested in. Together with the usual blend of road shows, live role-playing, comics and cosplay, which have made the Unicorn Festival unique in Italy, the organizers have devised more performances so as to involve all ages, as well as aficionados and simple onlookers. Reconfirmed are the Challenge of Magic Arts, the Best Fantasy Creature Contest and "Fear Alley". Even for those not interested in dressing up, this is certainly a good chance to see ones heroes 'live' and catch a snapshot.
During the weekend will also be held Vinci Comics with the exhibition "The War of the Worlds and beyond… 'future' projects!" with science fiction Italian comic book "Nathan Never". Appetites will be whet at the Obelix' Haunt, the Gladiator's Inn and at the Prancing Unicorn, where visitors will eat Tuscan delicatessens surrounded by elves, fairies, dames, knights and much more!
Sunday 29th July will also be the day of the historical challenge of the Tenzon di Palla, the Ball Combat, which will see the Yellow Winged Griffins of Upper Vinci 'duel' against the Red Rampant Lions of Lower Vinci. A cousin of the Florentine Kick Game, the combat is always played in July when many flock to Vinci to follow this spectacular game between youths proud to preserve local tradition. Will this year the Yellow Winged Griffins succeed in interrupting the Red Rampant Lions' supremacy of the last few years?
On Monday evening, 30th July, there will be animation and entertainment for the children in one square, whereas in the castle's square adults will be enthralled by the jazz show "The Roar at the Door Quartet", or in the Castle's coffee house can follow the meeting "Write, read, taste – Writing is good for the health". Much more goes on during the evening as well as on Tuesday, with the Gran Prix bicycle race of Vinci, a tribute to the Blues Brothers and the comic show "An Evening at the Abattoir".
Last, but certainly not least, Wednesday 1st August winds up all the events with the Flight of Cecco Santi, il Volo di Cecco Santi. Legend says Cecco Santi was captain of the Vinci army and betrayed the town for love of a noblewoman. For this reason he was condemned to be thrown off the tower of the Conti Guidi's Castle and granted a pardon if he survived the fall. As last wish he asked to drink a glass of good Vinci wine, which might have to do with his miraculous escape, because apparently when he was thrown off the tower he flew to the hill in front of the castle and survived! That year the harvest was plentiful and for this reason every year, as a propitiatory rite, the flight is commemorated. And I thought Guy Fawkes was bloodthirsty! The evening ends with a spectacular firework display and Vinci returns to normality.
A great opportunity to come to town and visit the Leonardo Museum divided between the Castello dei Conti Guidi and the Palazzina Uzielli, including working models of the Genius' machine designs, constructed according to his drawings. The moment for a break in Chianti with its gently rolling hills, vineyards, cypresses, stunning castles and charming farmhouses. Here are our choices of holiday villas in Chianti.

The Lawrence Public and Workplace Smoking Restriction Ordinance (PDF) restricts smoking in all enclosed public places and places of employment. This includes, but is not limited to common work offices, elevators, hallways, company-owned vehicles, employee lounges, stairs, restrooms, and all other enclosed facilities.
Please note that this summary is not intended to be comprehensive or provide an authoritative legal interpretation. For more detailed information about the ordinance, please refer to the city code (PDF).
Enclosed area: all space between a floor and ceiling which is enclosed on all sides by solid walls or windows (except for doors or passage ways).
Place of Employment: any area that employees normally frequent during the course of employment. This includes, but is not limited to: common work areas, auditoriums, classrooms, conference and meeting rooms, private offices, elevators, hallways, company-owned vehicles, employee lounges, stairs, restrooms, and all other enclosed facilities.
Private residences, except when used as a childcare, adult day care or health care facility.
Hotel and motel rooms, no more than twenty-five percent (25%) of rooms.
Rooms being used for private functions except while contracted food or beverage service functions are taking place (including set-up, service and clean-up activities or when the room is used for exhibit activities).
Outdoor places of employment unless an entire establishment is designated by the owner as non-smoking.
Report smoking complaints to the Emergency Communications Center via the non-emergency number (785) 832-7509.
Complaints will be forwarded to the Fire & Medical Department and the next business day (or as soon as possible), an Inspector from the Prevention Division will contact the owner, manager or operator of the establishment to notify them of the complaint and educate them on the ordinance and/or take steps to enforce the ordinance.
Signs must be posted at each entrance reading "No Smoking" (minimum one-inch lettering) or have the international no smoking symbol.
A written smoking policy must be implemented and communicated to employees.
Any person smoking in a nonsmoking area must be informed that they are in violation of the ordinance.
A fine not exceeding Two Hundred Dollars ($200.00) for a second violation within a one (1) year period of the first violation.
A fine not exceeding Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00) for an additional violation within a one (1) year period of the first violation.
When, why, what, and how?
The ordinance takes effect July 1, 2004.
Eliminating smoking in public places and places of employment improves and protects the public's health, guarantees the right of nonsmokers to breathe smoke-free air and recognizes that the need to breathe smoke-free air has priority over the choice to smoke.
Employers are required to provide a smoke-free workplace for all employees.
Smoking is prohibited in all enclosed places of employment within the City Lawrence.
In a building where smoking is prohibited, an owner must clearly post a "No Smoking" sign using either bold lettering at least one inch in height or the international "No Smoking" symbol.
Smoking is prohibited in all enclosed facilities within a place of employment without exception. This includes common work areas, auditoriums, classrooms, conference and meeting rooms, private offices, elevators, hallways, medical facilities, cafeterias, employee lounges, stairs, restrooms, vehicles, and all other enclosed facilities.
Employers must communicate the smoking policy to all employees.
Employers must supply a written copy of the smoking policy to any existing or prospective employee if requested.

Stocks erased their gains for the year on Tuesday.
Some analysts speculated investors were concerned about how the Federal Reserve's interest rate hikes will impact stocks. The basic thinking is that the sooner rate hikes come, the more bearish it is of for stocks.
In a research note Monday, Deutsche Bank's David Bianco suggested the S&P 500 could still have more room to decline given the increasing likelihood that the Fed will hike rates sooner than later.
Here's Bianco: "Decent 4Q EPS (albeit weak guidance), ECB QE, and a still accommodative Fed pushed the S&P to 2100. But policy normalization risks remain, particularly for the dollar and long-term yields. We don't see a quick recovery for oil prices. Strong job growth and falling unemployment despite still slow GDP suggests that Fed hikes are on the horizon and likely strengthen the dollar further. We see risk of a near-term 5 -9% dip and reiterate the importance of sector preferences."
While the impact on stocks' price-to-earnings ratios will last "all year," Bianco says this is how it's played out in the past.
"Stocks typically sell-off on the first of a series of rate hikes, but the magnitude and duration of the sell-off depend on conditions," Bianco said. "During early cycle hikes the initial sell-off was generally small, quickly recovered and further S&P gains came in next three months and longer (like 2004, 1983, 1972). But many sell-offs on late cycle hikes became corrections or even bear markets."
He also included this chart, showing how various sectors perform when rates and yields rise.

(December 11) Lecture by Thomas Philippon: "The Great Reversal: How America Gave Up on Free Markets"
The Banque de France - PSE Chair is pleased to invite you to Thomas Philippon's lecture (Stern School of Business), on December 11 2019, dedicated to the presentation and discussion of his new book. The event will take place at the Banque de France and will be discussed by David Spector (Paris School of Economics).

More information about the book:
Why are cell-phone plans so much more expensive in the United States than in Europe? It seems a simple question. But the search for an answer took Thomas Philippon on an unexpected journey through some of the most complex and hotly debated issues in modern economics. Ultimately he reached his surprising conclusion: American markets, once a model for the world, are giving up on healthy competition. Sector after economic sector is more concentrated than it was twenty years ago, dominated by fewer and bigger players who lobby politicians aggressively to protect and expand their profit margins. Across the country, this drives up prices while driving down investment, productivity, growth, and wages, resulting in more inequality. Meanwhile, Europe—long dismissed for competitive sclerosis and weak antitrust—is beating America at its own game.
Philippon, one of the world's leading economists, did not expect these conclusions in the age of Silicon Valley start-ups and millennial millionaires. But the data from his cutting-edge research proved undeniable. In this compelling tale of economic detective work, we follow him as he works out the basic facts and consequences of industry concentration in the U.S. and Europe, shows how lobbying and campaign contributions have defanged antitrust regulators, and considers what all this means for free trade, technology, and innovation. For the sake of ordinary Americans, he concludes, government needs to return to what it once did best: keeping the playing field level for competition. It's time to make American markets great—and free—again.

Picking the best life insurance plan is important. You want to make sure that your family can pay for your funeral expenses while also having money for themselves. In this article, you will be provided with the tips that will aid you in finding and getting the best life insurance for your needs.
Make sure those that are included in your insurance policy know about it. Make sure that your beneficiary has all the necessary information, such as where the documents are located and the sum insured.
Don't waste time with the "guaranteed issue" insurance policies if it is possible. This type of policy is essentially put together for individuals with pre-existing medical conditions. This kind of life insurance can help you avoid medical exams, but the premiums are very expensive and you can only buy a small amount of coverage.
Make sure you get enough coverage. $500,000 can seem like a windfall of cash for your family in the event of your passing. But when you take into consideration a $300,000 mortgage, car loans, student loans, burial and funeral expenses, credit card debt and the like, all those can add up fast.
Furthermore, many people have life insurance. Life insurance provided your loved ones with funds when you die. Many companies sell life insurance, making the process of choosing it to be a difficult one, but with the tips that were provided with this article will make your choice less difficult.


An evidentiary standard that applies in certain employment discrimination cases. (Whether or not the mixed-motive evidentiary standard applies depends upon (1) the particular jurisdiction in which a case is filed and (2) the exact type of discrimination alleged.) Under this standard, employee-plaintiffs must prove that the employer's discriminatory act for which a claim is being brought (e.g., termination, reassignment, demotion) was merely a factor, but not necessarily the primary factor, that motivated the employer-defendant's particular action. For example, assume that an employee is terminated for low productivity that had been documented during the previous 6 months. At the exit interview, the employee is referred to as "one of our older workers" by the company's human resources manager. Under the mixed-motive evidentiary standard, to succeed in his claim, the worker need only provide some evidence that he was discriminated against on the basis of age, such as the remark about being referred to as an "older worker." This is despite the fact that his lack of productivity was the employer's primary motivation for terminating him.
Employees favor the "mixed-motive" standard because it requires a relatively low level of proof to support a discrimination case.

Although the remark about being an "older worker" may have been discriminatory, by itself, it would still not be sufficient to prove a discrimination case if the worker's lack of productivity was the employer's primary motivation for terminating the employee.
Employers favor the "but for" standard because it sets up a relatively high level of proof to support a discrimination case.

Saturday, Veniceball brought its creative style to Watts, California as it helped inaugurate a brand-new, customized basketball court known as the Watts Oasis. Accompanying the court is a community garden which was donated from Community Healing Gardens in Venice. Watts Oasis was built directly beside St. Johns Church and about a block away from the renowned Watts Towers. Drawing inspiration from the Towers, the court features a mosaic tile encrusted out-of-bounds, tile-inlaid three-point and free throw lines, as well as bright bold blue, yellow, and red paint on the court.
All in all, Veniceball helped create a one-of-a-kind experience that was vastly more than just the sum of its parts. The value of a community center supported by a court such as the Watts Oasis cannot be understated and as the son of a Haitian immigrant, I know the first generational plight and challenges facing many in the area. It serves as a place for local youth to receive support and escape life's day-to-day jeopardies an understanding that led to an uncontrollable grin upon my face. We here at Veniceball believe that the Watts Oasis will be just that — a bright as well as nurturing oasis for this underserved community and that should bring a smile to anyone's face.

ENG - Finemechanics
In this paper, we make an investigation into the reflectance performance of the Si3N4 self-suspended subwavelength grating (SSG) via changing several parameters including the incident wavelength, the grating period, the grating thickness and the grating filling ratio. For TM polarization of incidence, numerical results by the rigorous coupled-wave method reveal that the reflectance spectrum of the Si3N4 SSG has a narrow linewidth (less than 1 nm), high peak reflectance (100%), and low side bands (less than 0.5%) simultaneously in the optical telecommunication wavelength region. By using a micro-electromechanical-systems actuator, it is believed that the Si3N4 SSG should serve as tunable optical filters in optical telecommunication systems.

All the people that aren't living in the USA need an American friend. In this global world that governments try to build there are a lot of restrictions still. There are some things that if you are living in Europe, for example, you can't get from America. And it's sure that you need these things that American people can get and you no, for the simple fact of living in a foreign country outside the USA.
The same happens if you want to watch a match between Houston Texas against Tampa Bay Buccaneers and you are going to buy a location on some Stadium Tickets.
And it's similar on American Airlines Arena tickets where you can't get a location for seeing for example Shakira or Lady Gaga because you aren't living there.
So I think that to have American friends is the best option. You can order to some of them for buying a ticket and after their will send it to you through a courier company. Anyway I don't know if this system would be legal or illegal; if the police can open the envelope and to see that you are trying to introduce illegally people that even sure don't understand a word of their American English language.


Ten years ago, The Dark Knight changed the way we would see superhero movies. And it also changed the way that IMAX cameras would be used in mega-blockbusters. In 2008, director Christopher Nolan made the radical choice to shoot select sequences from the movie in IMAX, making The Dark Knight the first major feature film to use IMAX 70mm film. It was a joy to behold in theaters — and now you can experience it again.
The Dark Knight is returning to IMAX 70mm theaters for a limited engagement in honor of the superhero film's 10th anniversary. But it's only in four select locations across the continent.
Phantom Thread is being hailed as Paul Thomas Anderson's latest masterpiece and a worthy send-off to legendary actor Daniel Day-Lewis in his reported final role, so only the biggest screen can do it justice. And audiences will soon be able to experience the film in 70mm glory in select theaters across the nation.

Q: Trouble with a terminal command using expect to send this I'm having a problem with the command send in expect script.
I've never used the expect before, so there are so many peculiarity about it that I don't know, mainly about syntax.
Actually it catches the cpu usage btw.

top -n 10 -d 0.01 | awk 'BEGIN{FS="[,%]"; printf "(" }/^Cpu/{
  gsub(/[^0-9.,]+/,"",$7); gsub(/^3949/,"",$7); printf $7" + "}
  END{print 0") / 10"}' | bc

What I would like to do is: with expect, using the command send. I want pass that string by the script.
I'm trying on this way:
#!/bin/expect
set timeout 20
set user [lindex $argv 0]
set password [lindex $argv 1]
set host [lindex $argv 2]
set prompt "$ "

;

proc gestat { } {
        ;
        send -- "echo -n 'MEMORY_FREE: ' && free -t | grep 'buffers/cache' | awk '{print \$4/(\$3+\$4) * 100}'\r"
        send -- "top -n 10 -d 0.01 | awk \'BEGIN{FS='[,%]'; printf '(' }/^Cpu/{ gsub(/[^0-9.,]+/,'',\$7); gsub(/^3949/,'',\$7); printf \$7' + '} END{print 0') / 10'}\' | bc\r"

        return
}

;

spawn ssh $user@$host

while (1) {
        expect {
                "(yes/no)? " {
                        send -- "yes\r"
                }

                "password: " {
                        send -- "$password\r"
                }

                "$prompt" {
                        gestat
                        break
                }
        }
}

expect "$prompt"
        send -- "exit\r"

expect eof

But the send does not work. The error is:

invalid command name ",%"
      while executing ",%"
      (procedure "gestat" line 4)

I guess it would be because the expect "parser". But I really don't know.
Sorry for my poor english.

A: Since expect is an extension of Tcl, the [] characters are special in double quoted strings. You'll need to protect them.
Additionally, you'll get in trouble in the second call to awk -- you cannot embed single quotes in a single quoted string.
You need to use Tcl's {} quoting -- braces in Tcl quote strings like the shell uses single quotes:
send -- {echo -n 'MEMORY_FREE: ' && free -t | grep 'buffers/cache' | awk '{print $4/($3+$4) * 100}'}
send -- \r
send -- {top -n 10 -d 0.01 | awk 'BEGIN{FS="[,%]"; printf "(" }/^Cpu/{ gsub(/[^0-9.,]+/,"",$7); gsub(/^3949/,"",$7); printf $7 " + "} END{print 0 ") / 10"}' | bc}
send -- \r

Movement for Good Roads & Bridges
Log road and bridge near New Bern, ca.1900s (courtesy of The State Archives of North Carolina)
The Good Roads Movement began in the late 19th century as a diffuse nationwide call for better roads and bridges "to get farmers out of the mud." It had grassroots origins that varied in intensity from region to region. The areas of greatest activity were in the Northeast and Midwest, but it was also strong in the countryside surrounding urban areas in the South. Like many progressive reforms, its strongest proponents were middle-class professionals who believed that they could remedy poverty with government programs that improved the infrastructure—sewer, water, parks, hospitals, clinics, schools, and roads and bridges. Good roads and bridges, the reformers claimed, would end rural isolation and lower transportation costs for farmers and small rural manufacturers.
First bridge built under supervision of State Highway Commission, carrying NC 42 over the Tar River in Edgecombe County, 1916—erected by the Roanoke Bridge Company for $15,641.81 (North Carolina Roadways, January-February 1951)
The Good Roads Movement had a profound impact on the history of road and bridge building in North Carolina. It awakened the state's business and political leaders to the idea that bad transportation infrastructure was an ingredient of rural poverty. Reformers gathered evidence that improvements would decrease shipping costs and thus boost the state's agriculture and industry. The Good Roads Movement first showed itself in scattered local road and bridge projects, especially in counties such as Buncombe and Mecklenburg that had a large town or city. Some county commissions, once reluctant to raise taxes or invest heavily in roads and bridges, now found reason to do so. They built roads surfaced with crushed stone (macadam), sand-clay, gravel, concrete, and asphaltic materials. They also contracted out to build bridges.
Many other North Carolina counties, however, especially those in isolated rural areas of the mountains and coast, found they did not have the resources necessary to improve their roads and bridges. This convinced many reformers that the federal and state governments should play a role in the financing and construction of statewide highway systems.

Australian newspaper raided after publishing stories about war crimes and government surveillance
U.S. Air Force photo by Master Sgt. Jason Robertson
by Jack Murphy · June 9, 2019
The Australian Federal Police raided Australia's ABC news offices earlier this month, as well as the home of journalist Annika Smethurst. When searching the offices, they had a search warrant with two specifics names on it, journalists Sam Clark and Daniel Oakes. Clark and Oakes published a piece called "The Afghan Files" in 2017, based largely on military documents that were leaked to them which detailed war crimes investigations being conducted into the activities of the Australian Special Air Service and commandos.
"The Afghan Files" is a seven-part story that takes an in-depth look at the alleged killings of unarmed civilians by Australian Special Operations soldiers in Afghanistan. It reads in part:
The documents, many marked AUSTEO — Australian Eyes Only — suggest a growing unease at the highest levels of Defense about the culture of Australia's special forces as they prosecuted a bloody, secretive war against insurgents across a swath of southern Afghanistan.

I do hope they're paying royalties to Netflix, this plot is plain plagiarism on their Secret City series. although they're mixing season 1 and 2 together, not a wise decision with regards to storytelling, but then maybe that's the point.

God help them. How sre the eyeballs doing?
Yankee Papa
Alan, In spite of many "good intentions", one of the downsides of being "subjects" rather than citizens. New Zealand was able to legislate entire classes of weapons out of the hands of thousands of law abiding cit...uh, er... subjects within weeks... because of a lack of fixed constitutional rights regarding self defence (there is no legal right to possess firearms of any kind for self defence...) Here in the U.S. some decades ago, the Supreme Court was considering overturning a law because...being vaguely written... it gave the government the power to do not only what was intended... but some un-Constitutional things as well. The government attorneys said that the Court need not concern itself... the government would never abuse the legislation. The Court laughed them out of the building. "Good intentions" count for nothing... it is the power in hand... A government of laws... not men... -Yankee Papa-
So if I understand this right, the journalists were investigating overreach by the government with regards to spying on the civilian population. And the government response to this was to raid juurnalists homes looking for evidence of where their information came from? I think I have that right. That is some seriously scary s***

1. BRANCHES OF LINGUISTICS
2. LINGUISTICS Linguistics is the scientific study of natural language. Someone who engages in this study is called a linguist.
3. BRANCHES OF LINGUISTICS •Language in general and language in particular can be studied from different points of view •The field of linguistics as a whole can be divided into several subfields according to the point of view that is adopted
4. FIRST DISTINCTION GENERAL LINGUISTICS • Studying language in general • Supplies the concepts and categories in terms of which particular languages are to be analysed DESCRIPTIVE LINGUISTICS • Studying particular languages • Provides the data which confirm or refute the propositions and theories put forward in general linguistics
5. SECOND DISTINCTION Diachronic (Historical) Linguistics • Traces the historical development of the language and records the changes that have taken place in it between successive points in time: 'diachronic' is equivalent to historical • Of particular interest to linguists throughout the nineteenth century Synchronic Linguistics • Non- historical: presents an account of the language as it is at some particular point in time
6. THIRD DISTINCTION Theoretical Linguistics • Studies language and languages with a view to constructing a theory of their structure and functions and without regard to any practical applications that the investigation of language and languages might have • Goal: formulation of a satisfactory theory of the structure of language in general Applied Linguistics • Application of the concepts and findings of linguistics to a variety of practical tasks , including language teaching • Concerned with both the general and descriptive branches of the subject
7. FOURTH DISTINCTION Micro linguistics • Adopts the narrower view • Concerned solely with the structures of the language system in itself and for itself Macro linguistics • Adopts the broader view • Concerned with the way languages are acquired, stored in the brain and used for various functions; interdependence of language and culture; physiological and psychological mechanisms involved in language behaviour
8. FOURTH DISCTINCTION (CONTD.) Micro Linguistics • Phonetics • Phonology • Morphology • Syntax • Semantics • Pragmatics Macro linguistics • Psycholinguistics • Sociolinguistics • Neurolinguistics • Discourse Analysis • Computational Linguistics • Applied Linguistics
9. MICROLINGUISTICS • Phonetics is the scientific study of speech sounds. It studies how speech sounds are articulated, transmitted, and received. • Phonology is the study of how speech sounds function in a language, it studies the ways speech sounds are organized. It can be seen as the functional phonetics of a particular language. • Morphology is the study of the formation of words. It is a branch of linguistics which breaks words into morphemes. It can be considered as the grammar of words as syntax is the grammar of sentences.
10. MICROLINGUISTICS • Syntax deals with the combination of words into phrases, clauses and sentences. It is the grammar of sentence construction. • Semantics is a branch of linguistics which is concerned with the study of meaning in all its formal aspects. Words have several types of meaning • Pragmatics can be defined as the study of language in use in context.
11. MACROLINGUISTICS • Sociolinguistics studies the relations between language and society: how social factors influence the structure and use of language. • Psycholinguistics is the study of language and mind: the mental structures and processes which are involved in the acquisition, comprehension and production of language. • Neurolinguistics is the study of language processing and language representation in the brain. It typically studies the disturbances of language comprehension and production caused by the damage of certain areas of the brain.
12. MACROLINGUISTICS • Discourse analysis, or text linguistics is the study of the relationship between language and the contexts in which language is used. It deals with how sentences in spoken and written language form larger meaningful units. • Computational linguistics is an approach to linguistics which employs mathematical techniques, often with the help of a computer. • Applied linguistics is primarily concerned with the application of linguistic theories, methods and findings to the elucidation of language problems which have arisen in other areas of experience
13. MACROLINGUISTICS • Forensic linguistics, legal linguistics, or language and the law, is the application of linguistic knowledge, methods and insights to the forensic context of law, language, crime investigation, trial, and judicial procedure. It is a branch of applied linguistics. • There are principally three areas of application for linguists working in forensic contexts: • understanding language of the written law, • understanding language use in forensic and judicial processes, and • the provision of linguistic evidence

Top grocery products spiking sales during lockdown
While many Australians have been forced to stay at home due to lockdown restrictions, the popularity of many supermarket products has skyrocketed. As we remember all too well, as soon as the lockdown was announced, supermarket shelves were cleared of toilet paper, hand sanitiser, cleaning alcohol, and face masks. However, there are a couple of other supermarket items that are filling up shoppers' carts. Here we list the top grocery products that saw an increase in sales during the lockdown. 1. Frozen dumplings Shoppers are raving about frozen dumplings as a quick and easy home meal. whopping 21 million bags sold in Woolworths and Coles last year. The $7.50 dumplings come in a range of unique flavours, including Korean beef BBQ pork and honey soy chicken. While many Australians have been f
Woman reveals the 'right way' to reheat food in the microwave: 'hack you wish you'd known sooner'
Have you ever taken out food that has been reheated in the microwave and discovered that some parts of it are hot enough while others are still frozen? That's because you've been using the microwave wrong! A Tiktok video has gone viral after a foodie revealed the 'right way' to reheat food in a microwave - and it might surprise you. The woman, with Tiktok handle Tanya Home Inspo, shocked thousands after sharing the 'mind-blowing' clip. Tanya, an NHS employee, claims that putting food on the edge of the glass microwave plate rather than in the centre is the most efficient way to use the microwave. In the video, she places a container of food on the rotating plate's edge before turning on the appliance.

As of Tuesday morning, more than 51,000 Minneapolis voters cast early ballots.
Lehman says to give yourself plenty of time when you go to vote.
There is also a contested vacancy in the District 18 Lake County Board seat that has been held by Aaron Lawlor of Vernon Hills, the County Board chairman who announced he was not seeking re-election earlier this year after receiving treatment for an addiction problem.
"It's probably more than what I would expect", Johnson said.
Mid-afternoon Monday, Jefferson projected total absentee voting - there is not technically early voting - in Sumter in this midterm to be about 3,500 above the last mid-term election in 2014. Enter your address, and you'll be given a list of polling locations near you.
Anyone already in line before 6 p.m. will be allowed to vote. "Here in the county we're calling for 44 percent voter turnout, which is on target with what the Commonwealth is calling for - a little bit higher, I believe 46 or 47 percent". "Once we say 'yes, it's a signature on file, ' then it goes to opening", Chief of Staff Kendall Hodson said.
"The election official is required to offer the voter a provisional ballot instead of a regular ballot", according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. "The number surpasses the previous highest amount which was issued for the 2016 Presidential election". How does anyone even begin to guess what the early-voter turnout means? That breaks the record set in 2014 for a midterm election, officials say.
Vu acknowledged that his office anticipated voters experiencing longer waits because of the length of the ballot and is prepared to quickly send out extra voting booths to polling locations that need them.
Officials said voters who received a notice and an affidavit stating there was something wrong with their mail-in ballots had until 5 p.m. on Monday to address the issue.
If voters are in line at their precinct by 7 p.m., they will be able to vote.
Tomorrow is Election Day. If you don't have those documents, you can still obtain a document that you can use for voting through the ID Petition Process at the DMV.
If all else fails, you can vote provisionally.
"By-mail voting has made it easier for voters, and we see numbers continue to increase because of it", Lee said.

Americans cast votes on Tuesday to decide whether Donald Trump's Republicans maintain their grip on the US Congress, or if. The remaining sanctions , including those against the Iranian oil sector, entered into force on November 5.
Democrats are favored to win more House seats than they now have and they need an overall gain of 23 to retake the House majority. The election near the halfway mark of a president's first term is traditionally a referendum on the White House occupant.


The VA National Suicide Data Report is now available with data through 2016. The 2016 VA National Suicide Data Report follows a new format, designed to be easier to understand and consume. If you have questions or need additional information, please contact the VA Suicide Prevention Program at VASPDataRequest@va.gov.
Veteran suicide rates by age, gender, means, and more.
Suicide rates in the Veteran population compared with rates in the non-Veteran population.
Suicide rates among Veterans who use VHA health care compared with rates among those who do not.
VA has made suicide prevention its top priority and uses these data to continually improve and tailor suicide prevention strategies and initiatives. VA's Office of Mental Health and Suicide Prevention has implemented significant suicide prevention initiatives in recent years and months: expanding the Veterans Crisis Line to three call centers, launching the S.A.V.E. suicide prevention training video, implementing the Mayor's Challenge, and partnering with the departments of Defense and Homeland Security to support Veterans during their transition from military to civilian life.

State-level suicide findings are now available as part of the 2016 VA National Suicide Data Report. The state data sheets are a critical tool to help VA and state-level partners design and execute the most effective suicide prevention strategies.
The most recent state-level data appendix release includes Veteran suicide data dating back from 2005 through 2016. The 2005-2016 State Data Appendix includes a comprehensive analysis of suicide rates for Veterans and the general population, explores longitudinal trends in suicide counts and rates at the state level, and includes data separated by gender, age group, and suicide method. For the most up to date state-level information, please refer to the State Data Appendix.
VA works continually with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the DoD to obtain and report the most detailed data possible from the National Death Index. Since publishing the original set of state data sheets in 2014, VA has made strides in its ability to examine the data with more granularity.
It's important to note that suicide is a complex issue with a multitude of contributing factors — and there is no single explanation for disparities in Veteran suicide rates across different states. The varying characteristics of a state's Veteran population — like demographics, unemployment rates, or firearm policy — make it difficult to compare Veteran suicide rates between states or regions.
View and download the state data sheets below. Because slight variations in yearly data may not be reflected in every individual state data sheet, please refer to the 2005–2016 State Data Appendix for the most current state information.
