How the Philippines' new strongman romped into office despite a shocking campaign

Mayor Rodrigo Duterte of Davao City in Mindanao is now president elect of the Philippines. His path to the presidency was controversial, riddled with expletives and reduced his detractors to mud slinging and comparisons with Hitler. But the mud failed to stick: with almost all precincts reporting, he looked to have won the race to the presidency with more than 15m votes and nearly 40% of the vote. His nearest rivals have conceded defeat.
Duterte came to the presidential race late, prompted by a Senatorial Electoral Tribunal decision to allow Senator Grace Poe to run for the presidency. Her presidential aspirations had been dogged by her background as a foundling, her temporary conversion to US citizenship and her alleged failure to meet the residency requirements for government office. Despite the tribunal's verdict, Duterte threw his hat in the ring, saying he didn't want an "American" to be president of the Philippines.
As election day loomed, surveys were released showing that Duterte was more than 10% ahead of his nearest rival, and his opponents mounted desperate efforts to stop his campaign juggernaut. Senator Antonio Trillanes, a vice-presidential candidate, accused Duterte of stashing unexplained funds in hidden bank accounts, of shooting people in the head at point blank range, and of being in league with the Communist Party of the Philippines. Duterte responded by filing treason charges against Trillanes, though they seem unlikely to stick.
Duterte also nearly self-destructed on more than one occasion. He publicly joked that he would have liked to have been first in line at a notorious gang rape, and also treated the members of the Makati Business club, who were expecting a speech on economic policy, to an 80-minute ramble on his womanising and libido and on his draconian ways of dealing with drug dealers.
He cursed the Pope when a papal visit to Manila trapped him in heavy traffic – hardly a good idea in such a strongly Catholic country. He also openly advocated killing criminals and plunderers, and admitted to having personally done so in the past.
And yet none of this dented his popularity. Why not?
Duterte's popularity runs across all social and economic classes. World Bank statistics indicate that 25.2% of Filipinos live below the poverty line, with self-rated poverty running at more than 50% – even though poverty reduction has been an official policy of the outgoing Aquino regime, and even as the country's economy has enjoyed an average growth rate of 6.2% since 2010. The poor are fed up of being left out of this new-found prosperity.

Aquino associated poverty reduction with clean governance, but much of the electorate remains unconvinced by Aquino's tuwid na Daan (straight path) and little changed for the very poor. Aquino's anointed heir, Mar Roxas' exhortations to continue with this policy fell on deaf ears. Roxas was hindered in his electoral appeals to the poor as they judged him on the inadequacy of the previous administration of which he was part.
The poor want action, and they want it quickly. Duterte's closing promise that he would give poor Filipinos a comfortable life was exactly what they wanted to hear, and they are clearly willing to give him the chance to deliver it. But Duterte also appeals to wealthier voters, in large part because he has promised a rapid crackdown on criminals.
The majority of Filipinos are also sick of seeing power passed around a few elite families, and of their leaders' unsavoury habits. The outgoing vice-president and presidential candidate Jejomar Binay was tarnished by allegations of corruption levelled against him and his family, while many voters suspected Poe of being backed by Danding Cojuangco, Ferdinand Marcos' old right-hand man.
Filipino voters seems to have embraced in 2016 what they rejected in 1986: a regime that rules with strong-arm tactics. Duterte has openly said that if the occasion merited it, he would introduce martial law, and has also promised to build peace and order within three to six months.
What sort of president he will be, and whether he can make good on these promises, is anyone's guess. Winning the election was the easy part; now the hard work begins.

Gotham – Rise of the Villains: The Last Laugh – Manic Fun!
GOTHAM: Bruce (David Mazouz) in "Rise of the Villains: The Last Laugh" episode of GOTHAM airing Monday, Oct. 5 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX. ©2015 Fox Broadcasting Co. Cr: Nicole Rivelli/FOX.
Gotham (FOX, Mondays, 8/7C) continues its creative resurgence this week with the third chapter in the ongoing Rise of the Villains arc – The Last Laugh. Now darker than ever, the show really feels like it belongs in the Batman section of the DC universe.
The Last Laugh gives us the much anticipated reason for Theo Galavan's desire to destroy Gotham City and it's a doozy! At the same time, we get a peek inside the Galavan household and see that Barbara (Erin Richards) has become close to Theo's equally villainous sister, Tabitha (Jessica Lucas) – but is there a serpent in their unorthodox Eden?
Meanwhile, Theo's plan to give Gotham a hero (step two of the bigger plan) gives Jerome (Cameron Monaghan) a bigger audience; Gotham Children's Hospital has a benefit (there's a magician!), and Jerome's good old psychic dad (Mark Margolis) makes a prediction.
Gordon (Ben McKenzie) refuses to take down the tape sealing Essen's office until her killer is caught; Bullock (Donal Logue) shows an unexpected sense of style, and Alfred (Sean Pertwee) encourages Bruce (David Mazouz) to take a risk before getting burned when he takes one.
Selena (Camren Bicondova) and the Penguin (Robin Lord Taylor) have a couple of juicy moments, too – Selena with Bruce and Penguin with Bullock. Even when characters aren't prominently featured, they still get some worthwhile scene that adds texture or shading to their story.
John Stephens has put together a dazzling script that really pays off in unforeseen ways and Eagle Egilsson's direction is, like that magician mentioned above, a lively display of misdirection and wonder.
Frain continues to be one of the most fascinating actors around, giving Theo Galavan a coolly diabolical depth beneath a surface civility and making it almost impossible to predict what he'll do next. Unlike the chaotic Jerome, Galavan works to a certain logic – it's just not what most people would recognize as logic.
McKenzie's Gordon has taken to working in a way that's much closer to bullock's original methods – though we can see that it pains him to do so. Dr. Lee Thompkins (Morena Baccarin) also continues to surprise (and gets one of the ep's best lines…).
Gotham City is now well on the road to being the hell on earth that would spawn a Batman and we're nowhere near the caped crusade's entrance so we can only imagine how much darker things are going to get.
If season two doesn't slide back into the bad comic book soap opera it wallowed in during the second half of season one, this could a season of DCTV for the ages.

This article potentially holds life changing (at least ride changing) information for many riders. Seriously. Most chronic discomfort on a bike has a true solution and proper bike fit is only part of that solution. Read on to learn the "secret" of Bike Fit 2.0 and how to resolve chronic and on-going pain and comfort issues on the bike.
The Fit Werx fitting of 2018 still uses many of the same biomechanical principles we used twenty years ago (human mechanics haven't changed…), but the depth that we are able to explore and address things is far deeper. Experienced fitters who are good at their craft learn how to keep their fit process the same with each person, but tailor the time to focus on specific issues for each rider within that process. The longer we do this, the more time we spend on things that have historically been considered "beyond bike fit". Today, we consider them "Bike Fit 2.0" – the generation of fitting that builds a riding position, but simultaneously assesses and explains optimized technique, crucial postural elements and the origins of chronic body related issues.
What is the Secret to Solving Chronic Pain on the Bike?
Regardless of whether you are experiencing chronic back, hand, neck or saddle issues, the reasons (and thus the solution) for these problems are pretty logical and universal. Understanding and fully embracing these reasons is the key to solving them permanently. It doesn't matter how good your riding position is, if you are unwilling to make this commitment to changing how you are riding (and often doing things off the bike physically), you will likely never be completely happy (or reach your potential) riding a bicycle.
The cause of your chronic discomfort is years of non-optimal postural habits, on and off the bike, that you have developed.
I realize that this is a completely unhelpful statement unto itself. Read on to learn more about the causes and actual solution.
Your pelvic angle and pelvic support is really important to solving all the chronic bike related comfort issues above. Every single one. If you don't support and hold your pelvis at the correct angle as you ride your chances of having any and all of the issues above go up substantially. A significant number of people do not support their pelvis properly on or off the bike. What many of us were told is "proper posture" (military posture, for example) can often be some of the most damaging things we can do to ourselves posturally. These postural issues can directly cause all of the issues listed on a bike, even if you are properly fit.
It is a simplified version of things, but you basically have three primary muscle groups that control, stabilize and support your pelvis. The lower abdominals (primarily obliques) pull the pelvis up to neutral; the glutes can help lock the pelvis back once it is neutral and the inner thigh muscles help to stabilize the pelvis and keep the femur from moving all over the place as you pedal. If these muscles are doing their job posturally, the rider will be able to sit on top of the bike in a muscularly supported manner, instead of bracing into it or overusing the back muscles. If they are not, pain and discomfort result. So, to ride comfortably, you need to develop the proper riding posture and this means not under or over rotating your pelvis and supporting your torso and pelvis with the correct muscles. Interestingly, these are the exact same things that can solve many back and shoulder pain, lower back pain, hamstring tightness, numb hands and other things that plague many people in daily life.
How to Start Truly Solving Chronic Comfort Issues on the Bike.
Get properly fit with a qualified bike fitter who understands cycling biomechanics as well as the fundamentals of posture and how it relates to muscle recruitment (on and off the bike). We see riders from all over and are happy to help. A good bike fit is an investment in yourself and well worth travelling for. Contact us.
Do what the qualified fitter say when it comes to working on postural deficiencies and muscle imbalances.
Do what your fitter and postural restoration provider recommends. If you are unwilling to change how you pedal or put the time and effort into using different muscles to support your posture, you will not solve these problems. Solutions to these issues can be complex and challenging and require deliberate effort over relatively long periods of time to change. Things that have been decades in the making rarely have "magic bullet" solutions.
Don't give up! Unless you are one of the small number of people with something like a bone spur or nerve damage that is causing the problem, changing your posture and riding technique is the solution. If you are not making progress with a specialist after working with them for a reasonable amount of time (usually 3-4 months), try someone else. Keep trying until you find the right provider for you.
Finding a Physical Therapist, Personal Trainer or muscle based Chiropractor who specializes in postural restoration and is good at it is not as easy as one might think. Postural restoration is a true specialty niche of these professions that requires someone with not only the right training and understanding, but also a great understanding of how it relates to you as an individual patient and solid communication skills. If you do not know of someone in your area, you can at least find people who have been through certification at PosturalRestorationInstitute.com. If you don't see anyone in your area, call the Postural Restoration Institute at (888) 691-4583. Many providers who have taken courses from them are not listed on their site. If you know of good providers in your area, please let us know. We're always looking to add providers in new geographic areas.
It is important to note that it is not crucial that a provider be PRI certified to be able to be a great resource for you. I've found some great Chiropractors and PT's who are not on this list. They weren't easy to find though. What matters is the approach and the knowledge of the interactions that are occurring muscularly. The goal is to get your muscles supporting your body and your motions the way that they were designed. If your traps, rhomboids and calf muscles are trying to do the job of your glutes, your back and crotch are likely to cause you problems on a bike (your hands might go numb too). You need someone who can assess and recognize relationships like these and not just focus on treating the place that hurts.
You also need a provider who realizes that posture and pain is not a brute strength and/or flexibility issue – it is a balance and muscle recruitment/balance issue. If you do hundreds of crunches a week and your back is still bothering – rest assured it is not a strength issue. You don't need abs and glutes of steel to be able to maintain proper posture on a bike for a fair amount of time. You need muscle balance and awareness. If you don't know how to fire your glutes and obliques while riding or in daily life, it won't matter how strong or how flexible they are. In fact, when it comes to flexibility in particular, many muscles will become looser once they become more balanced. Tightness is often a response to muscles trying to do things beyond their original intention. This is why tight hamstrings and back pain can go hand-in-hand and why traps/rhomboid tightness and pressure on the front of the saddle or hand numbness often happen in the same person.
The amount that could be written on the importance of muscular awareness in terms of posture and technique on the bike could populate an entire web site. We'll try to keep writing articles about this important topic in the future with reference to specific issues and how the biomechanics work. In the interim, if you have had a good bike fit and are still having problems, the general concept and solution to all of the items listed have a very similar (if not identical) solution and it is what is explained above.
Saddle Discomfort Issues Note: Many back, neck, shoulder and hand issues happen for the same reason as saddle discomfort issues.


LONDON – Although cats are normally among the more suave members of the pet world, they do occasionally manage to spoil their image by doing something that's just plain dumb.
A perfect example of this type of feline stupidity was captured recently outside a B&B in Wexford, Ireland, when Linda O'Brien filmed a stranded moggy hanging by its front paws from a second storey window.
The footage starts with a close-up of the hapless mog dangling by its front paws.
As the video goes on, it's easy to see just how high up the cat actually is.
Eventually, the stranded feline makes a daring escape attempt.
Finally, the cat loses its grip.
But luckily, the people below are prepared.
Apart from appearing a bit shaken, the cat trots away from the scene unscathed.
Remember this moment, cats, the next time a human says hello to you and you act all cool and distant.

Q: fatal error: QTextStream: No such file or directory I would like try write something in qt4. I began reading a tutorial.
I tried run simple code from this page: http://zetcode.com/gui/qt4/datetime/ and I'm surprised. My the best IDE(code::Blocks, newest version) said me:

fatal error: QTextStream: No such file or directory

Hmm, interested. I am using Arch Linux if that change something.
Of course I searched /usr catalog and appropriate files are there.
Anyone has idea about this?

A: On Ubuntu/Debian this will fix your error:
 apt-get install qt4-dev-tools

(Sorry, I don't know Arch Linux.)

A: As of 2017, the qt4-dev-tools does not include qt4-dev.  On ubuntu 16 or greater you will probably need:
apt-get install qt4-dev-tools qt4-make libqt4-dev

What is disturbing about this is that apt-cache search QTextStream does not list that package, but lists the one with the .so's

Just In: Ike, Elozonam evicted from BBNaija reality show
The duo of Ike and Elozonam were on Sunday evicted from the Big Brother Naija reality show.
Elozonam became the 19th housemate to leave the Pepper Dem House and this announcement from Ebuka was met with farewell hugs and chants. Clearly it was a great and notable announcement as they celebrated baby Hercules for making it as one of the Pepper Dem ten. Longer hugs from Diane and Mercy only means one thing, he'll surely be missed by his resident family.
Like the Pepper Dem Gang are fond of saying, "Big Brother Naija sweet but na Eviction spoil am". So it was tonight as Ike and Elozonam bade their goodbyes to the House and to their lovers.
"We're friends and that's what it is for now," Elozonam confessed about what's going on between him and Diane. He also told Ebuka that his high moments in the House were all the times he won titles and money prizes in the game.
After the long minute of silence, Ike was the 20th housemate to leave the Big Brother Naija House. As expected, his exit was followed with a mix of hugs and tears from Mercy, definitely not the birthday gift she was expecting. There's no doubt that the resident gangsta and Igwe Tupac will be greatly missed by all.
"I'm so excited to see some money coming soon," he told Ebuka as he climbed the stage. Ike also revealed that he noticed Mercy the moment he came into the House but he always had a feeling that he would be with her.
With six housemates left in the Pepper Dem race, we reckon the final week will be the tightest week this Season. The game is still on in the journey to the Pepper Dem crown.

One of the benefits of hand-made paint, is the ability to customize paint any way one desires. Working with a fairly limited palette, I find myself frequently mixing the same colors in the course of a painting. Why not streamline things, by having these colors conveniently available, premixed in a tube?
The first example was inspired by a tube of "Naples Yellow" I had on hand from Old Holland. This is not a true Naples Yellow, not even close. I found it very useful however, for painting flesh tones. Old Holland lists the pigments that makes up their colors on every tube of paint. The color in question was a mix of Synthetic Yellow Iron Oxide, and Titanium White. My color was very similar, combining a pale French yellow ochre, mixed with white.
The next example was a different kind of experiment. My intention was to see if I could create an close replacement of Vermillion/Cinnabar, for situations where I didn't have the genuine article. The exact qualities of the color cant be duplicated so I would call this an approximation rather than a substitute.
Vermillion has the contradictory qualities of being both intense, yet capable of subtlety. This makes it excellent for the tints used in flesh tones. Cadmium red by comparison, comes on strong, yet fades much more quickly in mixes.
Modern imitations usually rely on Cadmium Red for the base color with small amounts of Synthetic Organic red to improve its chroma in tints.

Kirkcaldy food bank demand reaches record-high
A Fife MP has blasted the government for 'abusing' third sector groups, after Kirkcaldy Food Bank revealed demand has reached unprecedented levels.
According to figures discussed at the food bank's board meeting last night (Tuesday), March saw a record number of emergency food parcels (742) issued to a record number of people (1491).
That amounted to 13,419 meals – compared to 4464 meals issued in March 2015.
Joyce Leggate, chairperson of Kirkcaldy Foodbank, said: "Since November last year – with the exception of February – we have at least 100 new clients coming forward each month for support and family numbers are rising.
"During 2018, benefit issues – delay, sanction and change – were the reason given by 55 per cent of clients for the nature of the crisis which led to them contacting us.
"Captured data shows 28 per cent of all clients are experiencing problems with benefit delays and Universal Credit but anecdotal evidence strongly suggests the true figure is much higher."
Joyce said rising demand was a chronic worry, particularly given the foodbank relies 100 per cent on donations from the public.
In recent months it cost the food bank £4k a month – over and above food donations – to buy enough food to meet demand currently.
That bill rose to £6k last month and is expected to be the same again in April.
"We reached a point last year where we were only six weeks away from closing because of a discrepancy between supply and demand but our call-out for help brought a considerable swell of support from the public," said Joyce.
"The Kirkcaldy community is so generous, it's humbling."
She added: "However, the reality is that as quick as we can catch-up, we find ourselves catching up again and we can never take our eye off the ball.
"There's nothing worse than having to turn away a family, saying we have nothing left to hand out."
Worryingly, the foodbank has for the first time had pensioners come forward for help.
"We're not sure whether it's the effect of fuel bills, but we had two pensioners come in one morning recently saying they couldn't survive on their state pension. It was quite startling," said Joyce.
Reacting to Kirkcaldy Food Bank's figures, Lesley Laird MP said it was evident the government was increasingly reliant on using third sector groups to prop up the welfare state and that was unacceptable.
She said: "Let's be clear. What we have is a deliberate unpicking by this government of all the progress fought for over decades by our parents and our grandparents.
"When they survived the Great Depression their enduring mission was to ensure that future generations would never have to go hungry or worry about heating their homes.
"Sadly, the increasing reality for too many people in our community that is exactly what is happening."
She added: "With an additional one million children likely to be in poverty and pensioner poverty once again on the rise, this Government is undoing all the measures put in place by my predecessor, Gordon Brown, when Labour lifted a million children out of poverty and pensioner poverty levels dropped to 18 per cent.
"When we reflect that the full impact of Universal Credit is yet to fully hit then little wonder that foodbanks across the country and right here on our doorstep are saying there is a very serious problem.
"While the Tories are saying 'No connection. Nothing to see here.'"

The jack pine is widespread in Canada and the north-eastern United States, where it grows chiefly on poorer, sandy soils. It was introduced into Europe in 1785. In the late nineteenth century it was widely planted as a forest tree because of its resistance to fungus diseases, and its rapid growth in youth. However, it was found that after the fortieth year the rate of growth declined rapidly and the bole became crooked; so the initial enthusiasm soon waned.
The jack pine reaches a height of only about 20 to 25 metres and has a relatively short life-span, about a hundred years. It forms two whorls of branches each year. It differs from the Scots pine in having short, pale-green needles, black bark with scaly ridges extending up to the crown, and small, strongly incurved cones. These remain on the tree for many years and open only if high heat is applied, often not until after a forest fire. This fact, as well as its ability to thrive in poor soils, is why it so rapidly seeds and covers large areas destroyed by fire. In Europe the jack pine can be recommended only as a short-term pioneer tree in extremely poor and degraded soils, in dry areas, to improve and prepare the soil for more demanding trees.

COP24: Climate Crisis Not Accepted. Lack of Scientific Rigor! by The Elephant's Child
Filed under: Bureaucracy, Capitalism, Economy, Energy, Global Warming, Media Bias, Regulation, Science/Technology, The United States, United Nations | Tags: Climate Crisis Not Accepted, Lacking Scientific Rigor, Planet Threatening?
Paul Driessen, a senior policy adviser for CFact, wrote at wattsupwiththat:
The 30,000 alarmists gathered in Katowice, Poland expected to slam-dunk their report proclaiming a planet-threatening climate crisis, finalize rules for implementing the Paris accords, redistribute infinite billions of dollars from industrialized nations to "climate victim" countries, and solidify their control over people's energy, jobs, living standards and liberties. It didn't work out quite that way.
They got blindsided by millions of French citizens angrily denouncing their government's plans to carbon-tax them into worse poverty and joblessness. They were furious that the US exhibit profiled the benefits of fossil fuels – and outraged that the United States, Russia, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait were willing to "note" the climate report and express appreciation to the scientists who developed it, but not to "welcome" it or "accept" its assertions about climate cataclysms and the need to slash fossil fuel use.
The UN's IPCC's Special Report on 1.5º C. was not welcomed at COP24, but subject to significant controversy for its lack of scientific rigor. Anthony Watts remarked a while back that 1.2º C – 2.2º C is the warming one could expect on most spring days between 10 am and noon.
Economist Stephen Moore commented at Investor's Business Daily that "The first iron rule of American politics is: Follow the money. This explains about 80% of what goes on in Washington. He added that one reason so many hundreds of scientists are persuaded that the sky is falling is that they are paid handsomely to do so."
I said, "In America and around the globe governments have created a multibillion-dollar climate change industrial complex." And then I added: "A lot of people are getting really, really rich off of the climate change industry." According to a recent report by the U.S. Government Accountability Office, "Federal funding for climate change research, technology, international assistance, and adaptation has increased from $2.4 billion in 1993 to $11.6 billion in 2014, with an additional $26.1 billion for climate change programs and activities provided by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act in 2009."
This is not meant to suggest that climate scientists are dishonest, but only that federal grants have become available and computers and labs enhanced, sometimes even with assistants – for those who are studying climate science. and a lot more professors are studying climate science.
Right now we seem to be in a cooling phase, as the sun has fewer sunspots. Our sun does have some influence on climate, as does CO² – carbon dioxide, what we exhale (and a natural fertilizer for plants), not carbon, which is a solid. Other things we don't understand well are the effect of water vapor (or clouds) in the atmosphere, and the effect of the warming and cooling in the movement of ocean currents.
Some people want to believe in catastrophe, the "true believers", who simply believe and are sure we must do something right now or we're all gonna die. See the microphone loving Alexandria Occasio-Cortez and her push for a "green new deal."
Part of the problem in understanding is that a lot of the folks studying climate believed that they could put the climate into a computer program and play out various scenarios and get real answers about future warming like stock market people did in forecasting what the financial markets would do. You have probably noticed that in the last week or so. We had thermometers stationed all over our country, but we learned that they were situated next to air-conditioner exhausts, or the reflective heat from concrete walls or airport runways, and were totally unreliable evidence of temperature.
Al Gore is not an expert, even if he made a movie and got rich. The Heritage Foundation just noted that he had hailed the city of Georgetown, Texas for powering itself with only wind and solar energy, and now the city is losing millions on it's green energy gamble. Their bet against fossil fuel prices cost the city-owned utility nearly $7 million and the city is trying to find a way out of their long term contracts.
The problem with wind and solar is not in the turbines or the solar cells, but in the wind and the sunshine. Wind is intermittent. It does not blow steadily. That is the nature of wind, not something that can be fixed. Sunlight is diffuse at best. Clouds. There are days and days here in the Northwest when it rains, or is just cloudy. The rain can be predicted, sometimes, but clouds can't. They re constantly moving. What that means is that wind and solar have to have constant backup with conventional power from hydropower or fossil fuel powered power plants, or nuclear energy. Our society requires massive amounts of energy, or perhaps you want your heart surgery to stop halfway through because the wind stopped blowing. It's a little more complicated than the young Ms. Ocasio-Cortez understands.
Tucker Carlson Takes a Look at Trump Derangement by The Elephant's Child
Filed under: Capitalism, Domestic Policy, Economy, Freedom, Immigration, Intelligence, Law, Media Bias, National Security, Politics, Russia, The United States | Tags: An Obsession With Russia, Feelings not Policy, Tucker Carlson Tonight
I suspect most of us have marveled at the strange and vicious Leftist reaction to the election of President Trump. Yes, of course they all believed that Hillary would be elected, and they would remain in power. Barack Obama had been the first black president, which was a great feather in their caps, and Hillary would be the first woman president. It has seemed that they are not all that much interested in policy, as they are interested in the "first black president" part, which absolves them of any notion of racial prejudice now or in the past, and proves, once again, that they are good people.
Put baldly like that, it seems remarkably nutty, but a striking number of serious thinkers believe that Leftist politics is all about feelings. (Think about the outcry about "children in cages"and "little children ripped from the arms of their mothers", the "sanctuary cities" movement). It is not about good policy, but about what makes them feel good. They actually seem uninterested in policy.
Tucker Carlson delivered a monologue on the cost of the "Russia fixation." "So there's been a cost to our Russia fixation, a massive one," Carlson said. "Years later we'll look back and wonder what happened. How did everyone in America with an Ivy League education go insane in a single year? Was there some kind of mass poisoning? Ergotism? Historians will sort it out."
"For now, all we know that the people in charge have lost it," Carlson declared. "Listen to them explain the intricacies of the Russia conspiracy. They're mesmerized. It's a tale so complex and riddled with internal contradictions, it sounds like eastern religion. Only they really understand it. To them, Russia is the touchstone. It's the comprehensive theory of everything."
We've called it "Trump Derangement Syndrome" but the Democrats have long reacted badly to losing an election, or an argument. They have been fixated on the Russian investigation, and the chance of impeaching Trump over it. Flynn was the first target of the Mueller investigation. The hunt for Russian spies on our soil has metastasized – there are now 17 separate Russia investigations being conducted by the Justice Department, not counting 4 Congressional inquiries.The Russians, we have learned, spent a total of $4,700 on Google ads during the presidential campaign. That doesn't buy much.
Tucker Carlson points out what happened last night on cable news, on MSNBC, the most serious news program that NBC offers on cable. The two people concerned are a man named Malcolm Nance, who identifies himself as a 35-year veteran of counter-intelligence work,(?) and his most recent book which was heavily promoted by MSNBC, is The Plot to Hack America. The other man is Brian Williams, the anchor of the NBC Nightly News. Williams is highly respected in the news business. He opens the segment by explaining that Russian "disinformation teams" have been working to divide America and convince the population that James Comey and Robert Mueller might have political agendas.
This is all completely insane. The John Birch Society? The KKK? The Christian Right (those religious people are dangerous), The Party of conspiracy theories? Steve Bannon? David Duke? Far-right conspiracy theories to suppress the African American vote? So much for Brian Williams being a respected newsman. The Left hauls these tiresome themes out of their emergency file for accusing Republicans when other accusations fail.
You've heard Hillary and her "basket of deplorables" and assumption that the people in the wasteland between the more intelligent coastal cities are obviously a bunch of uneducated dummies. So anyone who disagrees with them is a tool of a foreign power? You probably remember times in the past when they've hauled out theories of encampments of dangerous far-right, armed gun nuts ready to break out of the woods of Northern Idaho or Northern Louisiana to…..what? The KKK always seems to be lurking, but they seem remarkably few in number.
The Left expects to be in charge. They choose their candidates by race, skin color, ethnic origin, sexual orientation, not by the value of their ideas. Hillary was interesting as the first woman president, but when she lost, they lost interest. Kamala Harris has the quality of not only being part black, but being a woman as well. Elizabeth Warren was interesting as a woman who was part Native American, but after the DNA test, Democrats lost interest. And then there's "Beto" O'Rourke. He has something of an all-American boy look, like John Kennedy, and a nice smile, but if he has any ideas, I haven't heard what they might be.
We should be looking for ideas and policy, what's good for the country, but what they're interested in is looks and personality, not qualifications. Do read the whole thing and watch the short video, and puzzle over the obsession with Russia.

Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a type of arthritis that affects the spine. Ankylosing means stiff or rigid, spondyl means spine, and itis refers to inflammation. The disease causes inflammation of the spine and large joints, resulting in stiffness and pain. The disease may result in erosion at the joint between the spine and the hip bone. This is called the sacroiliac joint. It may also cause bony bridges to form between vertebrae in the spine, fusing those bones. Bones in the chest may also fuse.
The cause of AS is not known, but researchers think that genes play a role. A gene called HLA-B27 occurs in over 95 percent of Caucasian-Americans who have AS, but only 50% of African-Americans who have the disease. However, some people with the HLA-B27 gene do not have AS.
AS is more common among people ages 17 to 35. It can occur in children and older adults as well. The disease affects more young men than women. It tends to run in families.
The symptoms of ankylosing spondylitis can be like other health conditions. Make sure to see your health care provider for a diagnosis.
Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR or sed rate). This test looks at how quickly red blood cells fall to the bottom of a test tube. When swelling and inflammation are present, the blood's proteins clump together and become heavier than normal. They fall and settle faster at the bottom of the test tube. The faster the blood cells fall, the more severe the inflammation. Up to 70 percent of people with AS have a high ESR.
Genetic testing. Genetic testing is done to find if a person carries a copy of an altered gene for a disease. The gene HLA-B27 is found in over 95 percent of people with AS.
What are the complications of ankylosing spondylitis?
Over time, a forward curve of the spine can develop with AS. Patients with AS are at great risk of thinning of the bones (osteoporosis). This can result in spinal fractures. AS can also lead to psoriasis, and inflammation of the eye, aortic valve, and intestinal tract.
There is no cure for AS, so it is important to work on a treatment plan with your health care provider. Work on lifestyle changes that can improve your quality of life. Stay active and keep up with exercise to reduce pain. A physical therapist can help you design an exercise plan and assist you in keeping good posture.
AS can cause other symptoms such as appetite loss, weight loss, fatigue, fever, anemia, eye inflammation, and GI illness.
The goal of treatment for AS is to reduce pain and stiffness, prevent deformities, and maintain as normal a lifestyle as possible.

Q: Find Min Value and paste in at the end of a table VBA I have a sheet with 2 tables.
Both table have 2 columns but table2 has a column(2) with integers values.
I want a piece of code that takes the minimum value of table2 column(2) and paste table2 Column(1) at the bottom of table(1).
Basically, the code will analyse table2, by finding the minimum value and will paste the column1 of table 2 at the bottom of table column1. (Table2 stays the same, while table1 increases).
I have no clue how to approach the problem. I have tried something but it does not work (See DOES NOT WORK in code). It somehow give me the result which is not the lowest. Am I missing something ?

We set sail on Classic Harbor's Schooner Adirondack III Boston Mass and what a time we had! It was a hot, humid, cloudy day with a chance of thunderstorms, but the crew knew what they were doing from reading the radar and took us out on a beautiful excursion of Boston Harbor as the radar said – you're not getting the storm. I was so excited to hear that news because I had never been on a sail boat – of any magnitude.
However – had the radar changed when we were out in the Harbor and should we have needed to take cover – going down under in the boat would have been okay. This vessel was equipped with a kitchen, table, bathroom in addition to the seating atop. The vessel was clean and well maintained.
Once aboard the Schooner we were introduced to the crew. The captain explained to us what to expect from the crew, the sail, and what we could and couldn't do aboard the boat. We were offered beverages during the sail…which was a nice touch since it was so hot.
The pictures here are all from the sailboat. I can't tell you what is what now, but I can tell you the historical points were so nice to learn about – the crew told us about them as we came upon them. We saw many planes take off from Boston Logan Airport.
The crew was very personable and made sure everyone was enjoying their sail. The entire sail was very relaxing, and if I could do this once a month – I would. My fifteen-year-old enjoyed the sail as much as I did. Since the cruise is two hours long – visiting Quincy Market or the Aquarium can be done the same day, if you plan your visit right. We went into Quincy Market after the sail and enjoyed a nice dinner at Cheers.
If you're ever able to get to the Boston Harbor – I would highly suggest taking a sail upon Classic Harbor's Schooner Adirondack III. I bet the night sail is the ultimate – I want to do that one next!

Today the public can have its say about the 2011-12 proposed City of Austin budget.
The City Council will hold several public hearings today to seek input about services that might be cut or added, the proposed tax rate and possible increases to utility fees.
The city manager proposed in late July a tax rate of 48.23 cents per $100 of property value, the highest rate the city could charge before residents could petition for an election to limit the increase. That would translate to a city bill of $879 — $36 more than this year — for owners of a median-value home of $182,228.
The city might be able to lower that rate slightly, thanks to an extra few million in revenue that it announced last week.
Electricity bills would rise by about $11 a month and water bills by about $8 a month for the average customer. And residents who use the biggest of three sizes of trash collection carts, 96 gallons, would pay $3 more a month.
The public hearings are scheduled to start at 4 p.m., but they could be moved to later in the day.
Some city leaders are hoping to update studies that describe the economic benefits generated by Austin's so-called creative industries.
A resolution proposed by Mayor Lee Leffingwell and Council Members Mike Martinez and Chris Riley calls for updating information collected in a 2001 music study, a 2004 film and visual media study, a 2005 cultural arts study and 2006 gaming study.
The 2004 film and visual media study found that industry alone contributes $360 million to the local economy and creates 3,500 jobs annually, according to a statement from the mayor's office.
The council is scheduled to vote on the resolution today.
The City of Austin has held on to its AAA bond rating — the highest possible — from the nation's three financial rating agencies: Standard & Poor's, Fitch Ratings and Moody's Investors Service.
The city sells bonds to pay for capital projects such as streets, fire stations and park improvements. Residents pay off the debt through property taxes.
The rating affects about $932 million in City of Austin debt. Higher ratings help cities pay lower interest rates on debt. A bond rating is a measure of a city's capacity to repay debt. Rating agencies consider the strength of a city's economy and its financial practices when setting the rating.
Standard & Poor's said Austin has a diverse economic base, strong financial management and moderate debt levels, according to a statement from the mayor's office.

Teachers Take to Twitter
By Josh Cohen — September 21, 2009 4 min read
When Tom Barrett, a 4th grade teacher in Nottinghamshire, England, wanted to spice up a math lesson on probability, he didn't turn to his department colleagues or a professional organization. Instead, he looked to the micro-blogging tool Twitter. Before class, he sent out a message to his followers on Twitter, asking them to report the chance of snow that day in their area. Barrett received answers from more than 20 people by the time the lesson started, with more rolling in during class.
The responses came from Australia, Scotland, Korea, the U.S., and elsewhere, providing a variety of probability data to work with. As a bonus, many of the responses used regional phrases (such as "buckley's mate" from an Australian, meaning "no chance") that Barrett employed as an opening to talk to his students about vocabulary and geography.
"I was delighted to use this networking technology in this way and it was great to finally execute what I had long conceived to be possible in my head," Barrett wrote on his blog, ICT in the Classroom. "The lesson was so much richer for the carefully planned introduction of Twitter responses."
Barrett is not alone. A growing number of teachers are using Twitter—the oft-derided social networking platform on which participants share text dispatches of no more than 140 characters—to connect with colleagues from around the world and generate ideas for teaching and professional growth.
Better than Google?
"At its simplest level Twitter is a resource for sharing things quickly," says Bill Ferriter, a 6th grade social studies teacher at Salem Middle School in Raleigh, N.C., and author of the popular blog The Tempered Radical. "I follow teachers who teach similar grade levels or teachers who have similar interests as I do. I follow some middle school teachers, [some] ed tech folks."
Ferriter says Twitter has become a regular part of his planning process. "Twitter has become the first source I turn to when I'm doing research because I'm seeing links from sources I trust. It provides a professional network of colleagues all over the globe that I can reach out to when I'm considering developing [new curriculum ideas]."
Sheryl Nussbaum-Beach, a former teacher and administrator turned digital-learning consultant, contends that Twitter essentially provides an at-your-finger-tips professional learning community that can help educators stay abreast of their field.
"It is my best learning tool," says Nussbaum-Beach, who is co-founder of Powerful Learning Practice, LLC, a digitally-oriented professional development provider. "I believe strongly that in today's changing learning landscape, in order to stay on top of the spiraling changing pace, you need to use a resource like Twitter. Having a network to turn to when I have a question is invaluable."
• Begin by following people you already know and trust.
• Explore related resources like Twitter4Teachers (http://twitter4teachers.pbworks.com/), a wiki that helps teachers find other teachers on Twitter in their subject area.
• At least at first, limit your network to a manageable number of followers; be mindful of information-gathering objectives.
• Be generous in "retweeting"—i.e., share messages by others with your followers.
• When appropriate, use hashtags (#literacy) to share your tweets with a larger interest group; but do not overuse hashtags.
•Tweet wisely: Remember that whatever you post can be shared across the Internet; avoid talking about individual students or colleagues.
Both Nussbaum-Beach and Ferriter say their Twitter networks provide targeted feedback and resources from peers that other Internet tools like Google and message boards cannot match.
"Google is a powerful search engine, but it's not nuanced the way Twitter is," explains Ferriter. "Searching Twitter is searching the minds of teachers. It's collective intelligence. When you can pick the brains of 200 highly accomplished teachers, you'll get good success."
"I have a learning network that can help me, give me resources, collaborate 24/7," says Nussbaum-Beach of her Twitter connections. "So anytime I want to plug in, the help is there."
Not for Everyone
Still, not all educators see Twitter as a must-use tool for professional learning. Jim Randolph, a blogger and K-5 teacher of English-language learners in Gwinnett County, Ga., agrees that Twitter has potential as a learning tool, but says he didn't find it useful enough to stick with it after an initial trial.
Time and convenience played a big part in Randolph's decision ultimately to close his account. Twitter is blocked in his district and there's no cellphone reception in his school, so receiving tweets by text wasn't an option. And he didn't have time to wade through all the tweets on his page when he got home from work.
Randolph agrees that it's necessary to stay connected to the online education community to keep learning, but doesn't see Twitter as the only way.
"[Twitter supporters] are right. It's important to know what's going on, but I think blogs and Twitter do equal roles in keeping you informed," says Randolph. In particular, Randolph points to the importance of blog RSS feeds, which he can access at school, in helping him stay connected with educators outside his building.
Though she praises Twitter, Nussbaum-Beach agrees that building a network is more important for teacher learning than what program you use. "It isn't that one tool is better than the other. You're going to go where the people [you want to connect with] are, where you can build the best network relevant to your interests."
Even avid Twitter proponents like Ferriter admit that Twitter alone can't provide the same sort of deep learning that in-person professional development sessions can, but they say it fills a separate, valuable role.
"If you're talking about an expert coming into my building giving a deep and meaningful talk, that's not Twitter," Ferriter explains. "But good PD targets the individual needs of a particular teacher. Twitter allows me to tailor my research and learning to the things I need to learn about. It's a completely differentiated learning opportunity."
"Maybe Twitter itself isn't good PD," he adds, "but it's the bridge to very good, meaningful PD."

Inspired to Thrive: Alicia's Story
International Day of People with Disability, Thursday 3 December
At 44, Alicia Thompson is a professional businesswoman with a husband, a teenage son and a love of knitting. Not much different from many women you'd meet on the streets of a busy city, except that Alicia has lost 95 per cent of her sight and, since the age of 19, has lived with loss of central vision now making her legally blind.
Alicia has Stargardt's disease, a hereditary eye condition which caused the cells in the centre of her retina to die, affecting her macula and central vision. It leaves Alicia with only peripheral vision. However, it hasn't stopped Alicia from living life to the full.
Alicia works at Westpac in Sydney's CBD where she is part of a small team responsible for guiding units through processes of change. She manages her detailed work using computer technology with cameras, magnification and text to voice recognition software.
Using applications on her iPhone, she negotiates the city independently every working day of the week and at home enjoys regular family activities with her husband and son. In moments of free time, Alicia knits and crochets using magnification. The use of magnification technology, she says, has changed her life.
"I've never not done anything because of my vision impairment," says Alicia. "I may not do things the way sighted people do, but I don't let that stop me. Different doesn't mean it's wrong. And hard doesn't mean you can't. It just means finding a different way to do it. It's something I have to do. If I still want to have a normal life and enjoy the things I do then I have to find other ways to do them."
Julie Heraghty, Chief Executive Officer of Macular Disease Foundation Australia said Alicia's 'can do, will do' attitude is an inspiration to us all on International Day of People with Disability, a United Nations sanctioned day that aims to promote an understanding of people with disability and encourage support for their dignity, rights and well-being.
"Macular Disease Foundation Australia endorses International Day of People with Disability initiative and celebrates the enormous achievement of Alicia Thompson, a Friend of the Foundation, and so many others like her," said Ms Heraghty.
This short video featuring Alicia, documents her inspiring and positive approach to life and her use of innovative technologies to navigate the challenges of work, home and leisure.
