President Donald J. Trump Remains Committed to Expanding Energy Production and Increasing Manufacturing In The United States
"We are going to continue to expand energy production, and we will also create more jobs in infrastructure, trucking, and manufacturing." – President Donald J. Trump
ENERGY AND MANUFACTURING VICTORIES: President Donald J. Trump's policies have paved the way to energy dominance and rejuvenated United States manufacturing.
Today, President Trump visited the Pennsylvania Shell ethylene cracker plant to demonstrate his continued commitment to United States energy and manufacturing.
Under the Trump Administration, burdensome regulations that unfairly punished the energy industry have been replaced, initiating a great increase in American energy production.
President Trump withdrew from the awful Paris Climate Agreement and helped the coal industry by ending oppressive regulations such as the Clean Power Plan.
The Administration expanded energy production through the approval of oil pipelines and by unlocking America's abundant natural resources.
Onerous regulations on American manufacturers have also been removed, allowing manufacturers to focus on production, expand their operations, and hire more employees.
Fewer regulations combined with lower energy costs have led to the current American manufacturing boom.
AMERICAN ENERGY DOMINANCE: President Trump's policies have allowed American energy production and exports to soar to new heights.
By 2020, the United States is expected to export more energy than it imports for the first time since 1953.
The United States is now the largest crude oil producer in the world, with production breaking a nearly 50-year-old record in 2018.
Crude oil production grew by nearly 20 percent in 2018, reaching a total of 10.96 million barrels per day.
The United States is trending towards becoming a net exporter of oil and refined fuels.
Coal exports have risen more than 90 percent since 2016, increasing every year since President Trump took office.
Today, the United States is the world's top producer of petroleum and natural gas.
American exports of liquefied natural gas (LNG) to the European Union (EU) reached an all-time high in March 2019.
The EU aims to more than double the level of LNG imports per year from the United States by 2023.
MANUFACTURING BOOM: President Trump's pro-American agenda has allowed United States manufacturing to boom for the first time in decades.
Since President Trump took office, American manufacturing has added a total of 523,000 jobs, compared to the 287,000 created during Obama's last three years in office.
The 264,000 manufacturing jobs created in 2018 was the most since 1997.
In 2018, manufacturing optimism reached a record high.
Eighty-five percent of blue-collar workers believe their lives are heading in a positive direction.
Blue-collar wages have increased substantially, with workers on track to receive an additional $2,700 in annual wages, on average.
Remarks by President Trump Before Air Force Once Departure | Morristown, NJ
BEFORE AIR FORCE ONE DEPARTURE
5:07 P.M. EDT
THE PRESIDENT: So, tremendous retail numbers were announced today, which really is a great indicator of how well our country is doing, how well our economy is doing. Those are real numbers. Walmart announced; others announced. We had some tremendous numbers come out today, which I'm sure you saw. So we're very happy about that. We're doing very well.
The economy is incredible. The consumer -- probably above all else, the consumer is doing incredibly.
So, go ahead. Any questions?
Q What actions are you prepared to take to avoid a recession if this yield curve thing is really predictive?
THE PRESIDENT: Well, I think we're going to have a very long period of wealth and success. Other countries are doing very poorly. As you know, China is doing very, very poorly. The tariffs have really bitten into China. They haven't bitten into us at all -- except for the reporters that want to make it look that way, but they don't understand what's happening.
The tariffs, we've taken in close to $60 billion in tariff money. And the consumer has not paid for them. Now, at some point, they may have to pay something. But they understand that. And who really understands that is our great farmer. The farmers of this country really understand it. They know we had to do something about China, and we're doing something about China.
With that being said, I think we're having very good discussions with China. They very much want to make a deal. We'll see what happens. We had a deal and they decided not to make it. Now, I think they would like to have had that opportunity again, because I think they really would --
Q Mr. President --
THE PRESIDENT: I think they really missed a great opportunity. I think they feel that they missed a great opportunity. But China very much wants to make a deal. We're talking to them. We'll see what happens.
Q Why did you feel the need to get involved in the two congresswomen's trip to Israel?
THE PRESIDENT: Well, I'm only involved from the standpoint of they are very anti-Jewish and they're very anti-Israel. I think it's disgraceful, the things they've said. You have lists of -- and this isn't just a one-line mistake; what they've said about Israel and Jewish people is a horrible thing. And they've become the face of the Democrat Party.
So I did absolutely put out a very strong statement. I think, if you look at their language, if you look at what they've said, if I ever said it, it would be a -- it would be a horrible -- it would be a horrible month, to put it mildly.
So the things that they've said -- Omar, Tlaib -- what they've said is disgraceful. So I can't imagine why Israel would let them in. But if they want to let them in, they can. But I can't imagine why they would do it.
Q Are you worried that a prolonged trade war with China will pitch the economy into a recession?
THE PRESIDENT: No, I think the longer the trade war goes on, the weaker China gets and the stronger we get. We're taking in massive amounts of money. Billions and billions of dollars, Steve, as you know. And I think the longer it goes, the stronger we get. I have a feeling it's going to go fairly short. I think it's going to be –
China has lost millions of jobs; you saw that reported today. Thousands of companies are closing in China. And I don't know, you know, maybe they want to do this for a year. They'd love to have somebody like Biden, who doesn't know what he's doing. I mean, I just put a clip where he said, "Oh, we want to build up China. We want to build up China." Well, they gave us a very strong China. China has taken out over $500 billion a year for many years from our country. And that's not going to happen anymore.
Q Sir, just --
Q How concerned are you -- let me just follow up, sorry.
Q Sure. It's okay.
Q How concerned are you about a violent crackdown by the Chinese in Hong Kong?
THE PRESIDENT: Well, I am concerned. I wouldn't want to see a violent crackdown. I put a little bit of a memo out last night. He's a man I like a lot. I get along with him very well -- President Xi.
And I said that I would be willing to bet that if he sat down with the protesters -- a group of representative protesters -- I bet he'd work it out in 15 minutes. I bet he'd work it out very quickly. I know it's not the kind of thing he does, but I think it wouldn't be a bad idea. I really believe if he sat down -- they have a certain little leadership pool. If he sat down with that leadership pool, I'll bet he'd work something out very quickly.
It really seems like things -- it could be worked out pretty easily.
Q Did you speak with Prime Minister Netanyahu about the congresswomen coming?
THE PRESIDENT: I don't want to comment about who I spoke to, but I think my social media statement pretty well speaks for itself. I feel that they are so anti-Israel, so anti-Jewish. Again, if other people made that statement, there would have been hell to pay. So -- but I did speak to people over there.
Q Sir, China has said that they want to retaliate, that they're going to retaliate because of the tariffs increase that you announced. What's your response to that?
THE PRESIDENT: Well, if they did retaliate -- which I don't think they will do because we're talking to them and they're offering things that are very good. I don't think they'll retaliate. But if they did, we have the ultimate form of retaliation. I think that they'd have very few jobs left in China, because we'd be able to step it up.
Just so you understand, I've been very mild about it. Very, very mild. There's a long way I can go. And somebody had to take on what was happening with China. We can't allow China to take, out of our country, $507 billion every year, not including intellectual property theft and so many other things.
So, we're having very good talks with China. I think things will happen, but we'll see.
Q If they do retaliate, will you want your team to meet with them in September as planned, or no?
THE PRESIDENT: Well, that's too -- I -- look, September, the meeting is still on, as I understand it. But I think, more importantly than September, we're talking by phone and we're having very productive talks. They would like to do something, I will tell you that.
And the talk we had a few days ago with my two representatives, nobody knew what was on that talk except for myself, China, and those two people. That was a very good conversation.
Q Do you want Jay Powell to cut interest rates some more?
THE PRESIDENT: Jay Powell should be cutting rates because every country all over the world is cutting, and we want to stay, sort of, even. And I don't mind if we're higher -- we're better -- we're a better credit -- but we're way too high. Jay Powell has made a big mistake. He raised them too fast, and he also quantitative tightened. He did quantitative tightening. That was a big mistake -- $50 billion a month. And it put us in a position.
And interestingly, even with normalized interest rates, President Obama was paying nothing. And we have a much better economy.
And you have to look at our economy also from the day after my election, because we picked up tremendous steam the day after the election. That's not attributable to President Obama. They only did that because of us.
So when somebody says "from January 20th," it's not from January 20th; it's from November 9th, the day after the election. We picked up. The fact that I won lifted our economy greatly. And if I didn't win, it would go down. And, frankly, if, for some reason that happened in the 2020 election, you'll see this economy go down the tubes. I will tell you that right now.
Q Mr. President, do you have any idea on when China's going to follow through on their (inaudible) and crack down on fentanyl?
THE PRESIDENT: They want to follow through very quickly. This was part of the conversation that we had. They had a special representative actually come over and talk to us -- a different group -- and a message to me, a very strong message to me. They want to start doing that very quickly. I'll be honest, I'm not there yet.
Q Did you -- did you tell Israel to --
THE PRESIDENT: It's not China; I'm not there yet. We'll see what happens.
I do want to -- I really would like to see China, in a humane way, solve the problem in Hong Kong -- humanely solve the problem in Hong Kong. And I think they could do it very quickly. You know, I said yesterday: I really have a lot of confidence in President Xi. I know that if he sat down with their representatives, I have no doubt he would solve that problem quickly.
Q In your conversations with people connected to Israel, did you encourage them to reject the (inaudible)?
THE PRESIDENT: No, I don't encourage or discourage. I think that if Israel allowed them to come in for the normal reasons, other than those reasons, I really believe that it would be a terrible thing for Israel. I think it would show a terrible sign.
They want to do boycotts. They said horrible things about Jewish people. They said horrible things about Israel and Israelis. I think it would be terrible thing, frankly, for Israel to let these two people, who speak so badly about Israel, come in.
And they have become, amazingly, the face of the Democrats. The Democrats don't want to do anything to condemn them. If they were -- if this were 10 years ago, or if this were maybe a different time or different people or whatever, they would be condemned for the things they've said. They've said some of the worst things I've ever heard said about Israel. So how can Israel say, "Oh, welcome"? I don't think it would be a good thing for Israel.
Q Mr. President, do you think that Steve King needs to resign?
THE PRESIDENT: I don't know the situation with Steve King. It looked like -- I read a statement that supposedly he made. I haven't been briefed on it, but certainly it wasn't a very good statement.
Q So, you're going to go to the G7 pretty soon, and I think you're going to meet with Boris Johnson. Are you going to have some sort of declaration about the intent to seal a trade deal with him, with the Britons?
THE PRESIDENT: So, we're dealing with the UK on trade and a trade deal, and we're going to have a great deal made. I've been dealing with Boris Johnson. I just spoke to him yesterday. I'll speak to him again. He and I are very much aligned. We feel very good about each other. I think we'll make a fantastic and big trade deal with the UK.
Actually, we should do much more business than we're doing with the UK. You know, it's a -- they're probably -- I don't want to say our "closest," because I don't want to insult other people, but certainly -- or countries -- but certainly they're one of our closest allies anywhere in the world. And we're going to have a fantastic relationship with UK. And we're going to have a great trade deal with UK. And that's moving along rapidly.
Q Any other goals for the G7, sir?
THE PRESIDENT: I think just relationship. We'll see what happens. We have a lot of things to discuss, a lot of things to discuss.
Q Is Corey going to announce tonight?
THE PRESIDENT: I don't know. Corey Lewandowski, I think, would be terrific if he ran, but I don't know that he's going to run. I spoke to him about it a week ago. Frankly, I think it's something he'd like to do, but I don't know that he's going to do it. I think he'd be very good. He loves New Hampshire. He loves our country. If he did it, I think he'd be very formidable.
Q What executive actions are you prepared to take on guns? Executive actions on guns, are you prepared --
THE PRESIDENT: We're going to look at that very closely, and we're looking at the whole gun situation.
I do want people to remember the words "mental illness." These people are mentally ill and nobody talks about that. But these are mentally ill people, and people have to start thinking about it.
I think we have to start building institutions again because, you know, if you look at the '60s and '70s, so many of these institutions were closed. And the people were just allowed to go onto the streets. And that was a terrible thing for our country. They closed them; cities couldn't afford them and they closed them. I mean, I can tell you: In New York, they closed a lot of them. And the people went out; they went out onto the streets. And it's a terrible thing. But a lot of our conversation has to do with the fact that we have to open up institutions. We can't let these people be on the streets.
So, we have a tremendous crowd in New Hampshire. It's -- all over the place, everybody is saying, "Wow." Our competitor has virtually no crowd. I don't know what that means. I assume that's a poll of some kind. But I think we're going to do very well in New Hampshire.
New Hampshire should have been won last time, except we had a lot of people come in at the last moment, which was a rather strange situation. Thousands and thousands of people coming in from locations unknown. But I knew where their location was.
Q Where (inaudible)?
THE PRESIDENT: But I think we're going to have -- I think we're going to have a tremendous success in New Hampshire. These are great people. And the relationship is very good.
Q Do you still plan to commute the sentence of Blagojevich?
THE PRESIDENT: We're looking at it. I feel very badly. I think he was very harshly sentenced, but we're looking at it very strongly. People feel very strongly about that. I floated it and I wanted to see where the Democrats stood, where the Republicans stood.
People feel very strongly about Rod Blagojevich and his sentence. He's been in there for seven and a half years; that's a long time. And what he did was terrible, but it's a long time. It's a long time.
Q Are you pushing Mitch McConnell on background checks?
THE PRESIDENT: I've been dealing with Mitch McConnell. He's a man who we have had tremendous success with judges and judicial appointments. We're going to be up to 179 federal judges within the next two months. Nobody would have believed that's possible. And that was because President Obama was unable to get them completed. So I inherited about 138 empty seats. Nobody can believe it. And we will have them almost all filled with tremendous judges and tremendously talented, smart people. They'll be filled within two months.
So I have 179 judges and 2 Supreme Court justices. That's something that nobody would have ever thought possible. I want to thank, very much, President Obama for that.
Q But I was asking about background checks for gun owners, for gun purchasers.
THE PRESIDENT: Yeah, we do. I've been speaking to Mitch about that. I've been speaking to everybody about it. And we don't want to see crazy people owning guns. But I also want to remember that mental illness is something nobody wants to talk about. These people are mentally ill and we have to study that also. Because, you know, it's them; they pull the trigger. The gun doesn't pull the trigger. They pull the trigger. So we have to look very seriously at mental illness, and we're doing that at a level that hasn't been done before. Okay?
Q (Inaudible) speaking with, Mr. President, besides the Senate Majority Leader and Pat Toomey? Is there anyone else who you're talking to?
THE PRESIDENT: Yeah. Yeah. I'm speaking to many Republicans. And I'll tell you, it's -- it's been pretty -- an amazing experience. They want to see something happen. And basically, it's very simple, they don't want to have insane people, dangerous people, really bad people having guns. Republicans agree with me on that, I think, you know, I would say, pretty much uniformly.
Q Do you think this will be easy to do when the Senate comes back? Or how (inaudible) --
THE PRESIDENT: Well, I'm afraid that if we came up with a good bill, I think the Democrats then might up it, and then do things that can't be done and that the public wouldn't want done. I hope that wouldn't happen, but that's happened in the past. You understand.
Q Do you support universal background checks?
THE PRESIDENT: I support strong, meaningful background checks, where people that should not have guns, people that are insane, people that are mentally ill, people that are bad, bad people -- like this guy in Philadelphia, who has been arrested numerous times; he's a bad guy -- where people like that would not have guns. And, frankly, people like that should be locked up. He shouldn't have even been on the streets.
Thank you. Thank you very much.
Q Did you talk to Xi directly? Was that who you talked to in China?
THE PRESIDENT: I will speak to him. We have a call scheduled soon -- President Xi. We'll be speaking to him very soon. I really believe he can work it out. I know him well. If he wants to, he can work that out in a very humane fashion. He can work something that everybody is happy. Thank you.

CORRECTED: Remarks by President Trump During Tour of the Shell Pennsylvania Petrochemicals Complex | Monaca, PA
DURING TOUR OF THE SHELL PENNSYLVANIA PETROCHEMICALS COMPLEX
Shell Pennsylvania Petrochemicals Complex
Monaca, Pennsylvania
THE PRESIDENT: These folks are from Shell, and this is a plant like no other. It's just incredible. And they are -- they're going to be opening. Over the next six, seven months, it'll start to open in phases, and then over the next year and a half, it'll be totally open. Tremendous employment right now. They have almost 2,000 workers -- anywhere from 1,500 to 2,000.
And that's among the largest cranes anywhere in the world. They say number two or number one; they're not exactly sure. It looks like the biggest one I've ever seen, because it has to lift up tremendous weight to tremendous height. And so it's either the first- or second-largest crane in the world, which is very exciting, if you like equipment.
And these folks are from Shell, a great company. And we appreciate the investment, and we're going to do everything possible to make (inaudible).
You might want to explain to them, a little bit, to the media, what we're looking at exactly.
MS. MERCER: Okay, so we have a pipeline, which is brings ethane into the cracker, which is where we turn the ethane into ethylene. There are furnaces on the left-hand side that were made in Maine -- in (inaudible), Maine. They we turn the -- then we crack the ethane to make ethylene, and then we follow it all the way down the platform so we get to the outside, where the big crane is. And that's where we make polyethylene in three different reactors. So, all different grades of polyethylene to make (inaudible), to make hard plastics, all the pallets that would go out to customers who are, actually, mostly based in the Northeast of the United States.
THE PRESIDENT: And we've asked them to wherever -- like, as an example, Maine -- a big factor is Maine because they've made a lot of the most important parts. And, really, some of the equipment comes from Maine. We're very happy about that. And we've asked them if they could, with the USA, buy USA. And they really have, to a large extent, been able to do that, and we appreciate it very much. We appreciate that very much. A lot of states are very happy.
Behind the plant is the Ohio River, and it feeds it. Absolutely. It comes in on barges, comes in on all sorts of different kind of ships. They have good depth. But there's a great feeder right behind; you don't see it here. But right behind is the Ohio River. And that feeds the plant, to a large extent.
What percentage is fed by the river versus trucks?
MS. MERCER: All of the heavy equipment comes on the river.
THE PRESIDENT: All of the heavy equipment comes on the river. That's fantastic. What about as you finish making the product?
MS. MERCER: When we finish -- when we make the product, the product can go out in railcars, so we're on CSX rail here. Or we can load trucks. So we're the only polyethylene pump, really, in the country that loads trucks.
THE PRESIDENT: To show you the quality -- so, we were going to take a look at it from here. We were going to sit on this gravel, which is dusty. And Shell -- you know, they know how to do things -- they built this beautiful concrete platform, of course. We'll be here for three minutes and they built this beautiful concrete. That's the way it is; that's the way it should be. Take a look at this: brand new, just poured, so that I wouldn't get my feet wet. That's very nice. (Laughter.) But that's called quality. That's -- it's really called "knowing your business and knowing what you're doing."
And you'll see the same quality proportionately, but you'll see the same quality right there. Everything is the finest anywhere in the world. And we hope Shell is going to be building a number of others, but we've made it a lot easier for them. It would've been very tough without what we've been able to do. And it's a lot of jobs for an area that wanted them. And this area is really, really excited about this opening. And I just want to thank all of you. What a fantastic job.
MS. MERCER: Thank you.
THE PRESIDENT: Thank you very much. Fantastic.
(Cross-talk.)
SECRETARY PERRY: I'll let you know something next week, sir.
THE PRESIDENT: Rick is going to be announcing a big project next week. Rick Perry. Thank you very much, everybody. Thank you. (Applause.)

Dental insurance and health insurance are very similar. In both cases, you pay a premium each month, and that premium gives you access to dental benefits. Dental insurance in Montana usually covers a portion or all the expenses related to checkups, cleanings, and other services that promote dental health.
While many people choose plans with basic coverage, it's also possible to get additional coverage when you get Montana dental insurance. Some plans include coverage for dental implants, oral surgery, and more. This is a good option if you intend to have a lot of dental work done in the near future.
As with health insurance, MT dental insurance is available in indemnity or managed-care plans.
Dental insurance in Montana is also categorized by the cost of premiums and the coverage provided. For instance, the ACA classifies dental insurance as "High" and "Low." This signifies the cost of the premium. High plans have higher premiums than Low plans. At the same time, these plans feature lower co-payments and deductibles.
When you get a quote at HealthQuoteInfo.com, you can look at both High and Low plans, as well as indemnity and managed-care dental insurance in MT. Then, talk to an agent and get help choosing the best plan for your specific needs.

Distinktion: Journal of Social Theory
Distinktion: Journal of Social Theory is a peer-reviewed journal that publishes papers, which make a substantial contribution to contemporary social theory. The journal particularly investigates the interface between social and political theory, often explored in thematic issues. Distinktion invites articles from sociology, political science, cultural and legal studies, anthropology, and philosophy that provide original perspectives on the social. Launched in 2000 at the Political Science Department at Aarhus University and presently based in a Scandinavian context, Distinktion creates a space for theoretical contestation that includes both continental and Anglo-American traditions. The journal features theory articles as well as more empirical contributions, but empirical papers should outline implications for social theory. Distinktion publishes standard articles as well as review essays.
Distinktion is published in April, August, and December. Articles appearing in Distinktion are abstracted and indexed in Sociological Abstracts, Worldwide Political Science Abstracts, and EBSCO SocIndex. The journal is published with financial support from the Nordic Board for Periodicals in the Humanities and the Social Sciences (NOP-HS).

Mark Cunningham: The Bodysurfer Profile
Tuesday July 3, 2012
Benjamin Marcus
Former SURFER Editor/Author
Like Lopez, Cunningham says bodysurfing Pipe is a cakewalk when you know how, but the best ride starts off on the right fin: "The key element is the takeoff," Cunningham said in the Advertiser. "Too soon and you may go straight to the bottom and get crushed; too late and you'll get pitched over the falls."
Do it right and a good takeoff will set up a bodysurfer for a long ride in the middle of all that energy. "I love long rides," Cunningham was quoted in the Advertiser. "I get a wave at Pipe and ride up on shore if I can. You watch board surfers and they kick out early with their chest in the air. Waves are precious resources and that wave will never be there again, so ride it for all it's worth. Waves are a terrible thing to waste."
On a good day at Pipe there is non-stop action and a lot going on, but amid the best surfers in the world and all the crash boom bang, all heads will turn when Cunningham strokes into a wave, because he is a master of the art: Taking off high and angling to stay high in the pocket is the key to his style. Bodysurfers can't as easily climb and drop for speed as surfers and the key is a Yin/Yang balance between falling and rising at the same time, but keeping forward momentum.
Cunningham has it dialed – falling and rising at the same time and getting speed in the crease. He bodysurfs in and out of the barrel at will and while he doesn't really like doing spins, bellyrolls or tricks, sometimes will do the bodysurfing version of a floater when the end section comes over.
In America when someone retires from a distinguished career it is traditional to have a testimonial dinner. Cunningham isn't much at talking about himself: "Mark is a huge goofball," Chris Malloy said. "He loves to diffuse self -important surf rhetoric with a good fart joke. I love him for that!"
So instead of fart jokes, a number of surfers chimed in, in support of their long, tall, silver-haired waterman friend.
KELLY SLATER – 11-TIME WORLD SURFING CHAMPION
"MC is one of my favorite people in the world. Just a simple guy whose got a huge heart, a lot of friends, and a gift in the ocean. I couldn't actually write enough good things about him. He's been a big influence on me as a person and definitely made my life better. I saw him as a kid and he was kind of bigger than life for being one of the few guys who would go out to Pipe solo on huge days. He's the most humble, sincere person you could be friends with."
CHRIS MALLOY – FATHER, SURFER, CINEMATOGRAPHER, COWBOY
"I remember having heats during big nasty Pipe contests. Even when you got spit out of a big tube you'd get spooked paddling back out. I remember Cunningham yelling from the ski in the channel: "GO MALLOY!!" It would be so comforting to know he had my back out there. when MC is literally acting as your guardian angel it makes the spooky factor go way down.'
"We all grew up bodysurfing but we were mostly whomping. Mark took us under his wing and showed us there is a big difference between Hail Mary shorepound bodysurfing and the lost art of Hawaiian bodysurfing."
"I see Mark about four times a year. He knows me and he knows I love trinkets: old records. Old books. That kind of stuff. Every time I see him he'll have a gift for me. It'll be wrapped in newspaper. He'll customize it. He remembers a conversation we had years before about some random bit of folklore and his gift will be some incarnation of that thing we talked about. Those little gifts are more special than a Rolex to me."
SEAN DAVEY – SURF PHOTOGRAPHER, AUSTRALIAN
"I first got to really know Mark at the Masters event in Ireland back in 2001. A larger than life character, he's always ready for a chinwag (yarn). He's the true embodiment of Aloha and good karma. Very much a patron of the arts, Mark regularly attends art shows and benefits all over the island and beyond. Put it this way, if you are going to an art showing, there's a very good chance that you'll run into him. He's one of the most beloved and engaged members of the North Shore community. Everyone knows Mark. He's the kind of person that you just wish there were more of about the place.
WAYNE "RABBIT" BARTHOLOMEW – FORMER WORLD SURFING CHAMPION
"Mark Cunningham is one of the purest watermen I have had the privilege of calling a friend. He was always such a calming influence in and around the impact zone at Pipeline, but he would still find space for a humorous quip even amongst the heavy going. He never strayed far from the zone."
"Mark's surfing skills are amazing and he was so nonchalant, the only time you would see him go into overdrive was to perform a surf rescue. On land Mark perpetuates the spirit of Aloha, he is just as inspirational on the beach as in the lineup, one of the true ambassadors for the brotherhood of surfing. All the best to 'ya mate."

Q: Merging two JSON Objects under condition for two JSON Arrays I have a problem merging two JSON objects, each from another array, into a new JSON object, in a new Array (the merging has to happen under given conditions).
Example:
First Array:
var array1 = [{box:123,name:xxx,amount:xxx},{box:321,....},...]
var array2 = [{_id:123,look:xxx,title:myBox1},{_id:321,.....},...]
var newArray = [{box:123,name:xxx,amount:xxx,look:xxx,title:myBox1},...]

What I basically need:
Iterate over Array1, iterate over Array2. If box (array1) == _id (array2) merge all attributes from both objects into a new JSON and put it in the first free slot in a new array3.
I hope the example helps to see what I'm trying to do. What is the best solution?
Normally the first attribute in both arrays are also the ones that need to be compared, but it would be could, if the solution would work also if I want to compare e.g. 1st attribute in 1st array with 3rd attribute in 2nd array.
Hope someone can help me out!

A: You can achieve this with two loops. The first to iterate through the object stored in array1 and the second to iterate over the properties of the matching object in array2. Try this:
var newArray = [];
for (var i = 0; i < array1.length; i++) {
    var obj = array1[i];
    if (array2[i] && obj.box == array2[i]._id) {
        for (key in array2[i]) {
            obj[key] = array2[i][key];
        }
        newArray.push(obj);
    }
};

Example fiddle

A: You can try this:
 array3=[]
for(item1 in array1){
          for(item2 in array2){
         if(item1.box == item2._id)
           array3.push(Merge_objects(item1,item2))
         }
      }

    function Merge_objects(obj1,obj2){
        var obj3 = {};
        for (var attrname in obj1) { obj3[attrname] = obj1[attrname]; }
        for (var attrname in obj2) { obj3[attrname] = obj2[attrname]; }
        return obj3;
    }

A: The following function would do it. It's slightly longer than the other answers, but more generic (you can specify which of the properties are the ids, rather than sticking with box and _id) and doesn't modify the original arrays in any way. It's also not dependent on the order of the items in the two arrays being identical (i.e. box:123 can be in index 1 in array1, and _id:123 can be in index 3 in array2).
/*
    a1 = the first array of objects
    id1 = the name of the property of each object in a1 that is its id
    a2 = the second array of objects
    id2 = the name of the property of each object in a2 that is its id
*/
function combine(a1, id1, a2, id2) {
    // create our new array to return
    var newArray = []
    // iterate over a1 (the outer loop)
    for(var i = 0, l = a1.length; i < l; i++) {
        var outer = a1[i]; // get the current object for this iteration
        // iterate over a2 (the inner loop)
        for(var j = 0, m = a2.length; j < m; j++) {
            var inner = a2[j]; // get the current object for this iteration of the inner loop
            if(outer[id1] == inner[id2]) { // compare the ids for the outer and inner objects
                var o = {}; // create a new blank object to add to newArray
                o[id1] = outer[id1]; // set its id (using the same property name as that of a1)
                for(var prop in outer) { // iterate over properties
                    if(prop != id1) { // ignore the id property, but copy the others
                        o[prop] = outer[prop]
                    }
                }

                for(var prop in inner) {
                    if(prop != id2) {
                        o[prop] = inner[prop]
                    }
                }

                // add this object to newArray
                newArray.push(o);
            }
        }
    }

    // return newArray
    return newArray;
}

Usage:
var array1 = [{box:123,name:'Name 1',amount:1},{box:321,name:'Name 2',amount:2}]
var array2 = [{_id:123,look:'Look 1',title:'My box 1'},{_id:321,look:'Look 2',title:'My box 2'}]
var newArray = combine(array1, "box", array2, "_id");

A: You could use Array.prototype.map or Array.prototype.reduce for that. And remember about time complexity! In case the objects are uniq by the key (_id or box) and arrays have equal lengths:
// TODO: implement your own comparator based on _id/box type
var first = array1.sort((a, b) => a._id - b._id);
var second = array2.sort((a, b) => a.box - b.box);
var merged = sorted_first.map((item, index) => Object.assign(item, second[index]));

You can easily adjust this to the different lengths case an so on, but you really need to know your data first.

A:         Creating the dummy datas, this is what the programming should be:
        var a = [{
            id: 1,
            name: 'name1',
          }, {
            id: 2,
            name: 'name2',
          }, {
            id: 3,
            name: 'name3',

          }];

          var b = [{
            id: 1,
            look: 'look1'
          }, {
            id: 321,
            look: 'look321'
          }, {
            id: 3,
            look: 'look3',

          }

          ];

        // put the object id : 321 and look : look321 into array a from array b
          for (var i = 0; i < b.length; i++) {
            var obj_b= b[i];
            var id_b= b[i].id;
            var idNotFound = true;
            a.forEach(function(rowOfA){
            var id_a = rowOfA.id;
            if(id_a == id_b ){
                idNotFound = false;
            }
            });
            if( idNotFound ){

                a.push( b[i] );
            }//if

        }
        // merge the objects with same ids into array a
            for (var i = 0; i < a.length; i++) {
                var id_a = a[i].id;
                var found = false;
                for (var j = 0; j < b.length; j++) {
                    var id_b= b[j].id;
                    if(id_a == id_b){
                      found = b[j];

FYI…. Damn you, highway stuff!
LOS ANGELES, Jan. 23, 2014 – The Society of Camera Operators (SOC) has moved the date of its Annual Society of Camera Operators Lifetime Achievement Awards from February 15 to MARCH 8, 2014 as announced today by SOC Vice President and Awards Executive Producer David Frederick. The date change was necessitated because the event will take place at the Skirball Cultural Center just off the 405 Freeway, in the area scheduled for road and ramp closures that weekend which are expected to cause major traffic jams (otherwise known as Jamzilla).
The SOC donates all proceeds from the Awards Event to the Vision Center at Children's Hospital Los Angeles to help children overcome their vision deficits.
As previously announced, this year's Lifetime Achievement Award recipients are Chris Haarhoff, SOC/Camera Operator (Saving Private Ryan, Fight Club, Almost Famous); William Coe/Camera Technician (The Avengers, J. Edgar, Jersey Boys); Barry Wetcher, SMPSP/Still Photographer (Goodfellas, Quiz Show, Sherlock Holmes) and Jack Carpenter, SOC/Mobile Camera Platform Operator (Mr. and Mrs. Smith, Crash, The Matrix). The Distinguished Service Award recipient is Stan McClain, SOC (National Security, Almost Famous, Any Given Sunday). The President's Award Recipient is Leonard Chapman, who has developed and improved equipment for moving cameras.
The Society of Camera Operator's Lifetime Achievement Award, the 'CAMMY,' honors the career of an outstanding camera crewmember. The Technical Achievement Award is presented to a member in the corporate community for his or her contributions to the advancement of equipment and techniques vital to the work of Camera Operators. The President's Lifetime Achievement Award is presented to an industry stalwart for his or her support for camera operators.
The Society of Camera Operators, founded in 1979, is an organization dedicated to the advancement of the art and creative contributions of the Camera Operator in the Motion Picture and Television industry. Their goal is to nurture excellence in the field of camera operation and allied camera crafts, encouraging development of both technology and production methods to enhance their work. Society members are kept at the forefront of the industry's ever-advancing technology through their continuing workshops and corporate-sponsored equipment showcases. The SOC publishes the Camera Operator magazine. The Society donates the proceeds of their Annual Lifetime Achievements Awards Event to the Vision Center at Children's Hospital Los Angeles. Membership includes Camera Operators, Directors of Photography, Camera Assistants and Still Photographers. The official website can be found at www.soc.org.

Some of my best friends run marathons, so it hurts a bit to say those kind of people are a little off-center.
Normal people, you see, are perfectly content to walk a mile down the beach and back and call it a day. Not marathon people. Oh, no.
In fact, I read recently that some marathoners are willing to pay hundreds of dollars to lap up the pain of running 26.2 miles. It would be comparable, I suppose, to someone like me ponying up $400 to go through the pain and agony of 18 holes of golf at Pebble Beach. What an idiot, hey?
Many big-name marathons cannot accommodate all those who want to put their bodies through hours of agony. The New York Marathon, for instance, gets about 90,000 entrants every year and has to have a lottery to select 50,000 lucky names. (For various reasons, only about 36,000 actually run).

Kerbal Space Program 2 delayed for a third time, now expected in early 2023
Kerbal Space Program 2 is delayed again. The game's development team updated fans on the progress of the long-delayed project Monday, saying that the sequel would be ready for launch in early 2023 on PC and on consoles later that same year.
"We are building a game of tremendous technological complexity, and are taking this additional time to ensure we hit the quality and level of polish it deserves," the team explained in the post. "We remain focused on making sure KSP2 performs well on a variety of hardware, has amazing graphics, and is rich with content. We've built a spectacular team at Intercept Games — a team that includes, as previously mentioned, key members from the development team behind the original Kerbal Space Program."
Creative director Nate Simpson also released a video explaining the new release date and the delay, though it didn't include too much additional information.
The original Kerbal Space Program was designed by Squad, an unconventional international team headquartered in Mexico City, only to be acquired by Take Two in 2017. The sequel was announced in 2019, with Star Theory Games (formerly Uber Entertainment) charged with development. That team was swapped out for Intercept Games the same year. It's this transition — along with the COVID-19 pandemic and the overall complexity of the spaceflight simulation — that has resulted in multiple delays for the game according to developers.

Hambone Williams
Former San Diego High star
(and Celtics champion)
"Hambone" Williams has passed away
K.C. Alfred / Union-Tribune
Art "Hambone" Williams was the 1959 Southern California Player of the Year while playing basketball at San Diego High and later played in the NBA. He is shown here at the Martin Luther King Recreation Center on Feb. 10, 2012.

Arthur "Hambone" Williams, who took up organized basketball as a San Diego High School junior, earned the 1959 Southern California prep player of the year award and won an NBA title with the Boston Celtics, died Thursday morning in San Diego of a stroke. He was 78.
"He was one of the better basketball players to be developed in San Diego," said Jerry Magee, a longtime Union-Tribune sportswriter who chronicled Williams' prep career.
Williams came by his nickname soon after his family moved from Bonham, Texas, to San Diego in the 1950s.
"My first day of junior high (Memorial), somebody hollered 'Hambone!' and I turned around," Williams told the U-T in 2010. "I've been Hambone ever since."
He joined the San Diego High team at the suggestion of a gym coach. A guard who was adept at setting up his teammates to score, he succeeded in high school as he had in pickup games.
"He was a great passer," Magee said. "He could handle the ball really well. He was very imaginative with his passing."
It wouldn't be the first time Williams made a relatively late start on a basketball court, only to thrive.
He was 28 in 1967 when he tried out for the local NBA team, the San Diego Rockets, a first-year expansion club, after working various jobs in the defense industry following careers with San Diego City College and Cal Poly Pomona.
Williams had not played organized basketball for five years but earned a contract with the Rockets. In his fourth NBA game, the 6-foot-1 guard spun a "triple double" with 17 points, 15 rebounds and 13 assists.
He logged 1,739 minutes as a rookie. In his third and final season with the Rockets, he led the NBA in assist percentage.
"He was famous for passing the ball to Elvin Hayes — not a bad idea," McGee said.
A month before the 1970 season, Williams caught a big break when the Celtics traded for him. His teammates included perennial All-Stars John Havlicek, Dave Cowens and Jo Jo White. Williams averaged 3.1 assists and 4.9 points as a backup guard. In 1974 — his fourth year with Boston and final year in the NBA — he helped the Celtics win an NBA title.
"I was faster than Havlicek, and he was fast," Williams would tell the Miami Herald. "They gave me a role to play, and I played it. We were like a family."
During his Celtics career, he befriended an 8-year-old boy who played stickball near where he lived. Williams, who said he always loved kids, arranged for the boy, Philip Levine, to attend a game at the Boston Garden. Also, he introduced him to his Celtics teammates.
"I turned Philip loose and said, 'Go ahead and say something to the guys,' '' Williams said. "His eyes got real big."
More than 40 years later, Wlliams was on the receiving end of the favor.
Levine, who'd become a real estate developer, flew the 73-year-old from San Diego to Miami for a Celtics game.
"What Art did for me 42 years ago was great because he wasn't looking for publicity," Levine told the Herald. "He was just doing something nice for a poor kid with a single mom."
Williams finished his pro career with the San Diego Conquistadors, appearing in seven games in the 1974-75 season.
Friends said Williams went through tough times after his career. In 2010, he provided an update on his post-career life.
"I bought a home after we won the title in Boston, and when I got back here my wife divorced me in two weeks," he said. "I've had some hard times since then, some tough personal problems I'd rather not get into. … When I turned 45, I started taking my retirement from the NBA. It's enough. I get Social Security. I haven't had to work. I did some odd (job) things. … I've kept my head up. A lot of people go off the deep end, but I had good raising in Texas."
Williams, who lived in National City and Paradise Hills, had health setbacks in the past several years but remained active until the past year, said friends and family. He was active with the Boys and Girls Club.
"He turned out to be a very good cook," said Dean Hancock, a friend.
Hancock said Williams and he enjoyed going to track meets at colleges and high schools throughout Southern California.
He remained a "diehard" Celtics fan, said Hancock. A former San Diego High teammate, Jack Henn, recalled Williams as a superior basketball player.
"He had the goods from the get-go," Henn said. "At San Diego City, he could shoot the lights out."
Even with hard times, as it turned out, his assists weren't limited to the basketball court. "He was always a good friend," Hancock said. "Being a good friend of mine — that's the assist he gave me."
Williams is survived by two daughters, Robi Hall and Erica Williams; and three sons, Erik Williams, Tyree Williams and Rapheal Sanchez.

The question of whether the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) accepts private flood insurance policies will finally be clarified. HUD has proposed to amend the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) rules to explicitly permit the use of private flood insurance on FHA loans in Special Flood Hazard Areas (SFHAs). The current FHA Regulations conflict with the Biggert Waters Flood Insurance Reform Act of 2012 (Biggert Waters), which requires lending institutions, federal agency lenders, the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae), and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac) to accept private flood insurance, causing some lenders to refuse to accept private flood insurance policies on FHA loans.
Last year, multiple industry groups issued a joint letter to the FHA requesting the agency to revise its rules regarding the acceptance of private flood insurance. With the recent announcement, the FHA is expected to release a proposed rule at the end of 2018 or sometime in 2019.
Please contact your PFI Client Relationship manager if have any questions regarding this topic. Proctor will continue to monitor this topic and provide updates as they develop.


I would like to know if you know anyone who can do a pamper session .

My question for the group is: Have you ever organised a pamper session? How did you find your pamperers?
"it has been a few years since I organised a pamper session for a carers group, but I found my pamperer through the Body Shop, who have a commitment to volunteering and did a great job - hand massages etc"

Win a Mini for a year in Bath competition
Katy Smart from Wellsway Garage, Les Redwood, BID project manager, and Andrew Cooper BID manager
Bath shoppers making the most of the opportunity to shop in the city are invited to enter a competition to drive a Mini Cooper Paceman for a year.
Wellsway MINI has offered the prize for the Bath BID Company's 'Your City Your Time' festive campaign supporting businesses in the city.
Wellsway MINI's Managing Director Martyn Read said: "Wellsway MINI are delighted to support Bath BID by supplying a fantastic, new MiNi Cooper Paceman for 12 months free loan to the lucky winner. As a long established local company we are happy to be involved in local initiatives which contribute to, and celebrate the success of the city and surrounding areas." The 'Your City Your Time' campaign draws attention to the broad range of shops in Bath, including all the major brands, as well as Bath independents with selections of gifts not available on the high street.
The campaign is funded by the Bath BID Company (Bath BID) with support from Bath Tourism Plus. Bath BID Manager Andrew Cooper said, "This is the time of year that Bath really comes into its own. We are fortunate to have such a thriving retail scene with wonderful independents as well as all the familiar high street names. This year we are prompting people who live in or near to the city to get out shopping early to make the most of the new range of gifts in store, as well as beating the festive rush."
Christmas is a time for sharing; Bath shoppers will be encouraged to tweet their best buys and top tips as well as ask for advice and gift suggestions using #askbath. The "gift genie" will be on hand to help and make shopping time productive and fun.
Nick Brooks-Sykes, CEO Bath Tourism Plus said: "Visitors come from far and wide to view Bath at its most festive, but it is sometimes taken for granted that Bath is the region's most beautiful shopping destination. Living in a World Heritage city means that there is no need to travel far to find a place to shop with character and style as well as that seasonal atmosphere and magical sense of anticipation."
Shoppers can enter to win a Mini Cooper Paceman online at: BathAtChristmas.co.uk/mini (full terms and conditions are available). Alternatively there will be opportunities to complete an entry by the mini which will be located in the city centre. The closing date for entries is December 24, entrants must be aged 25 or over and hold a UK or EU licence for at least one year.

A $355 million contract award by the US Air Force to prime contractor Sierra Nevada for 20 Embraer EMB-314 Super Tucanos on 30 December faces legal and political challenges from ousted bidder Hawker Beechcraft.
Kansas-based Beechcraft has already launched the process of filing an appeal in the US Court of Federal Claims. Meanwhile, two Kansas representatives in the US Congress have added their support to stop the award to Beechcraft's Brazilian competitor.
"It is simply wrong from the Obama Administration to hire a Brazilian company to handle national security when we have a qualified and competent American company that can do the job," Representative Tim Huelskamp said.
"I will continue to fight for answers on this matter," added Representative Mike Pompeo, who also said the decision to select a Brazilian aircraft was "troubling".
The USAF notified Beechcraft that its AT-6 Texan II had been eliminated from the light air support (LAS) aircraft competition after failing to meet unspecified requirements by certified letter on 4 November.
Beechcraft had an opportunity to request a debrief and file a protest but the unexpected letter was apparently misplaced in the company's internal mail delivery system. Company officials told the US Government Accountability Office they did not discover the USAF's letter until 11 days after its delivery.
Both companies competed aggressively for the LAS contract. The initial 20 aircraft on order will be delivered to the Afghan air force, while another 15 could be acquired as trainers for the USAF. Dozens more light fighters could subsequently be ordered for other partner nations. The USAF originally estimated the maximum value of the programme could rise to almost $1 billion.
For Embraer, the contract award is its first major victory in the US defence market since 2004, when the ERJ-145 regional jet was selected by the army as a surveillance aircraft. However, that contract was cancelled in 2006.
"We are committed to pursuing our US investment strategy and to delivering the A-29 Super Tucano on schedule and within budget," said Luiz Carlos Aguiar, chief executive officer of Embraer Defense and Security.
Embraer and Sierra Nevada plan to assemble the aircraft at a new factory in Jacksonville, Florida. Their contract also covers the supply of associated ground training devices and support equipment.

Did you know that our environment freaks are partly responsible for the Twin Towers collapsing? It's a fact. During the construction of the towers, when they were half way up, the environmentalists put up a public hue and cry against using asbestos to surround the girders. So halfway up the towers, asbestos was no longer used. And of course when the terrorist's attack hit, the jet fuel melted the girders, causing the building to collapse. Just thought you'd like to know.

Q: LocalDB not installing I installed SQLEXPRWT_x64_ENU.exe which gave me the option of including LocalDB which I checked. Yet, VS2013 (Community Edition) can't find it. I've been searching the web for a missing step in the installation but have found none. I already rebooted the computer after installation. I also tried running the installer again, but it shows me that LocalDB is already installed.
Any ideas?

A: In your case LocalDB is not started.
To Start LocalDB (V11.0 is the default instance name) execute:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\Tools\Binn\SqlLocalDB.exe start V11.0

To start automatically at System startup have a look at this:
