Here Are All The Extra Provisions Attached To The Senate's Keystone XL Bill

After three weeks of debating and voting on amendments to a bill that would approve the Keystone XL pipeline, the U.S. Senate is ready for a final vote. On Thursday, lawmakers are expected to green-light the controversial energy project, a 1,700-mile pipeline which would transport up to 830,000 barrels of tar sands oil per day from Canada down to the Gulf Coast.
But the bill does not only provide authorization for the construction of Keystone XL. It also includes a number of extra provisions that came from approved amendments, some directly related to the pipeline and some not at all. They didn't approve many — as of press time, the Senate had voted on roughly 40 amendments to the Keystone bill, only five of which have passed.
These are the approved amendments. (The Senate was still voting on amendments at the time this post was published, so we'll update if any more get passed).
'Climate change is real and not a hoax'
One of the most surprising measures passed during this whole process was proposed by climate hawk Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), which declared that "climate change is real and not a hoax." It passed 98–1, with only one Republican voting no.
The catch, of course, was that the amendment did not include the apparently necessary caveat that says humans cause climate change. "Man cannot change climate," the Senate's most outspoken climate denier James Inhofe (R-OK) said, while announcing that he would both vote for and co-sponsor the amendment. "The hoax is that there are some people that are so arrogant to think that they are so powerful that they can change climate."
Two more amendments came up that day that expressed the sense of the Senate that climate change was real and caused by humans. The Senate failed to pass both.
A 'sense' that tar sands companies should pay for oil spills
Put forth by Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), the Senate voted 75–23 to approve a "sense of the Senate" amendment that stated that all types of oil companies should be required to pay a per-barrel tax that goes into a government fund for oil spill cleanup. Currently, only some types of oil companies are required to do that — tar sands companies are excluded — a loophole that environmentalists say is especially harmful because tar sands oil is harder to clean up than conventional oil when it spills.
The amendment, however, is only a "sense of the Senate" amendment, meaning it doesn't actually do anything to make tar sands companies contribute to the oil spill fund. The Senate could have approved two other amendments that actually did that, but they did not.
Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) had offered an amendment to effectively amend the tax code to say that products derived from tar sands should be subject to the Federal excise tax on petroleum. That amendment failed to pass, as did Sen. Ed Markey's (D-MA) amendment that said the Keystone XL bill could not be effective until the tax code was changed.
A symbolic, but ultimately useless gesture for property rights
Another measure that passed was proposed by Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX), who said his amendment would seeks to protect property owners from getting their land seized under eminent domain for the purpose of building the pipeline. Right now, landowners in Nebraska are being served with eminent domain papers from TransCanada, the Canadian company that wants to build the pipeline. Many landowners have filed lawsuits to prevent their property from being seized.
Cornyn's amendment, however, likely won't do much to protect those property owners from getting their land taken. The language of the amendment states that the U.S. must "ensure private property is protected as guaranteed by the United States Constitution." As noted in the Daily Kos, this isn't really a change, because eminent domain can be used for economic development, and the U.S. Constitution says land can be taken if the company provides "just compensation."
Conversely, the Senate rejected an amendment that actually would have prevented TransCanada from seizing property owners' land in Nebraska. Sen. Bob Menendez's (D-NJ) amendment would have ensured private property could not be seized under eminent domain for the financial gain of a foreign-owned company.
Two bipartisan boosts for energy efficiency
Two separate bipartisan amendments were adopted that promote and encourage energy efficiency in a few different sectors.
One, proposed by Sens. Susan Collins (R-ME) and Mark Warner (D-VA), encourages making school buildings more efficient. It doesn't create any federal programs — instead, it appoints the Department of Energy to promote existing programs. The amendment directs The DOE's Office of Energy Efficient and Renewable Energy to promote and disseminate information about efficiency financing programs to schools that may not know about them.
The other is a slimmed-down version of the now-infamous Shaheen-Portman energy efficiency bill.
The original measure, sponsored by Sens. Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) and Rob Portman (R-OH), would have sought to increase energy efficiency in residential, commercial, and federally-owned buildings and trained workers to be adept at working in energy-efficient commercial buildings. The version passed last week is similar, but not as broad as the original proposal, promoting energy efficiency in commercial buildings and federally managed properties.
The Senate is widely expected to pass the Keystone XL bill with its amendments tonight, and though the House has already approved its own version of the bill, reports are emerging that the lower house will take up the Senate's version with its amendments next week. When it's approved in the House, the bill will go to President Obama's desk.
It's worth noting, however, that none of the passed amendments will mean anything if the Keystone XL itself fails to become law. Even though both legislative bodies are expected to approve the bill, Obama has pledged to veto it. At the moment, neither the House or Senate has enough votes to override a veto.

Time for the U.S. to Recognize Israeli Sovereignty in the Golan Heights
(Tablet) Zvi Hauser - The border between Israel and Iran - between the West and radical Islam - now passes through the Golan Heights. Iranian militias, looking a lot like Hizbullah, are digging into bases on the border with the Golan, the Shia population in the area grows larger, and rocket supplies threaten the Israeli residents of the Golan Heights and the eastern Galilee. American recognition of Israeli sovereignty in the Golan will send a clear message to Iran, stating that Israeli sovereignty is unquestionable. The Golan Heights is chock-full of both ancient and current Jewish farms, homes, and places of worship. Archeological digs in the Golan have thus far revealed the remains of 25 synagogues that operated betweenthe first century CE and the Muslim conquest in the mid-seventh century CE, as well as evidence of numerous Jewish villages and communities. The Zionist movement saw the Golan as an inseparable part of the renewed Jewish sovereign territory in the Land of Israel. But in 1946, the French mandate in Syria officially ended, leading to the establishment of an independent Syrian state which included the entire territory of the Golan. Syria controlled the Golan for 21 years - as opposed to 52 years of Israeli control. In those years, it encouraged terrorist organizations to use the Golan as a base for attacks against Israel, ceaselessly bombarded communities around the Kinneret, and attempted to divert the Golan's water sources. In 1967, during the Six-Day War, Israel launched a preemptive strike to remove the ongoing threat posed by the Syrians in the Golan, taking over the territory. Israel and the U.S. must act as soon as possible to achieve international recognition of Israel's sovereignty in the Golan Heights, not as a gesture of goodwill but out of a clear understanding that it is a strategic security interest that both nations share. The writer served as Israel's Cabinet Secretary between 2009 and 2013 and is Chairman of the Coalition for the Israeli Golan.

Bethlehem Restaurant Week goes through Saturday, Feb. 1 and if you haven't made reservations or gotten to your favorite place yet, time's running out.
The good news, though, is there is still time.
The better news is that there are many, many options to choose from during this great event which features price fixed lunch and dinner menus at the city's best restaurants.
So, which ones do you choose? If you're a Bethlehem restaurant connoisseur, you may already have a favorite. If you're a Bethlehem restaurant newbie, you may need some sage advice.
We've got you covered. Here are our suggestions of places to make reservations for Tonight, Friday, or Saturday.
Apollo Grill: Lunch Menu & Dinner Menu. "The Apollo" as it is affectionately known by some, is one of the most popular restaurants in downtown Bethlehem. With expertly made martinis and some of the finest cuisine in Lehigh Valley, there's no secret as to why. However, if you're looking to make reservations. Do so right now. Seriously. Pick up your cell phone and call them because this place will be packed this weekend.
The Bookstore Speakeasy: Dinner Menu. If you feel like you've tried all the other Bethlehem restaurants already, then The Bookstore is the choice for you. It's definitely different than all the others, including a darker candle lit ambiance with a prohibition era feel that lends itself to a memorable dining experience. If you're lucky, you'll also be able to take in some of the 1920s style music that is played live by local bands.
Broadway Social: Dinner Menu. The new kid on the block, Broadway Social is more than just a late night hot spot in a former Fire Station. The incredibly redone interior of Broadway Social is breathtaking when you first walk in, much like their menu, which will make you want to stick around for the late night fun.
Molto Pazzo: Lunch Menu & Dinner Menu. Bethlehem is full with Italian restaurants, but some stick out more than others due to their quality and ambiance. Molto Pazzo is one of those restaurants. While the restaurant can get full, their seating isn't cramped and the serving sizes are fit for a mafia godfather.
Tapas on Main: Lunch Menu & Dinner Menu. Who doesn't like a variety of tapas with some incredibly homemade sangria? We're not sure if that person exists. Tapas has become a favorite go to in Bethlehem since it opened a few years ago, becoming a place where people not only stop at after work to relax during happy hour, but also bring their families to enjoy unique cuisine at night.
Twisted Olive: Lunch Menu & Dinner Menu. Another Bethlehem newbie, Twisted Olive is where you head for a high class dinner with some creative and delectable drinks. Twisted Olive may be the most spacious fine dining Bethlehem restaurant when it comes to seating, which can make for a very romantic evening.
The Wooden Match: Lunch & Dinner Menu. Maybe you're a meat and potatoes and cigar kinda guy (or gal!)? Well, then The Wooden Match is your place. Located near Sand Island in Bethlehem in a stunningly beautiful former train depot, The Wooden Match can be summed up in many words, but we'll just use one: Fun.
If you're looking for even MORE restaurants to choose from, check out the full Bethlehem Restaurant Week site.
Remember, make your reservations early (like right now) if you want to be able to take advantage of the special menus. We'll see you downtown this weekend!

Ocala Fatal Accident
A traffic collision is rarely a pure accident. Most crashes occur because one party was careless, distracted, reckless or perhaps intoxicated. When such a motor vehicle accident results in fatal injuries, the surviving family members from that Ocala fatal accident are left to cope with not only their grief and anger but financial hardships, legal issues and the daily reminders of the person's absence.
At the King Law Firm, we strive to take on as much of the burden as we can when an Ocala fatal accident occurs. While you attend to family matters and the grieving process, we can begin the investigation and deal with the insurance companies. Although legal action may be the last thing on your mind at this difficult time, our early involvement can make a big difference in ultimately holding the negligent party to justice and maximizing the compensation to survivors.
MARION COUNTY WRONGFUL DEATH LAWYERS
Our Ocala fatal accident attorneys represent families in Ocala, The Villages, Marion County, Lake County and throughout Central Florida. We have obtained notable results in wrongful death litigation arising from motor vehicle accidents, including:
Auto collisions and rollovers
Collisions with trucks or commercial vehicles
Accidents involving buses and shuttles
Motorcycle collisions with cars
Pedestrians or bicyclists killed by cars
Boat and Jet Ski accidents
Four-wheeler accidents (ATVs)
Golf cart rollovers or crashes
Car accidents caused by drunk drivers
Our Ocala fatal accident legal team is attuned to the special statutes or considerations that apply in each of these scenarios. Our attorneys include a former law enforcement officer who knows how to investigate and reconstruct accident scenes, and former prosecutors who know how to build a case and present it to a jury.
CLOSE, CAPABLE AND COMPASSIONATE REPRESENTATION
Our initial focus is on the facts of the Ocala fatal accident and establishing negligence. As time goes on, we work closely with the family members to understand the tangible losses so that we can relate them in a claim for damages. Survivors and the deceased's estate are entitled to compensation for the person's lost income and household contributions, for medical bills and funeral expenses, and for loss of consortium, counsel, love, and support.
We are sensitive to your grief while vigorously holding the negligent parties and insurance companies accountable. Our Ocala fatal accident trial lawyers are prepared to take any case to a jury if necessary to secure full and fair recovery of compensation.
There is no cost or obligation for a free consultation, and we handle wrongful death cases on a contingency fee basis; no attorney fees unless we obtain a settlement or verdict. Call toll free at 352-629-8747, or email us.

Q: Python - Send HTML-formatted email via Outlook 2007/2010 and win32com Is there a way to send HTML-formatted email using Python's win32com.client (which utilizes Outlook 2007/2010). The format I'm using now looks like this:
import win32com.client
olMailItem = 0x0
obj = win32com.client.Dispatch("Outlook.Application")
newMail = obj.CreateItem(olMailItem)
newMail.Subject = "the subject"
newMail.Body = "body text"
newMail.To = "recipient@example.com"
attachment1 = "c:\\mypic.jpg"
newMail.Attachments.Add(attachment1)
newMail.Send()

This will send an email using Outlook, sent from the currently authenticated user, to the specified recipient, with a subject, content, and attached image.
I want to be able to send an inline image, which can be achieved using an "Embedded" attachment, or simply to link to and image using HTML, or embed an image using HTML and a Base64-encoded image.
HTML is my preferred approach, but any HTML I add to the body is formatted and encoded as plain text (e.g. < becomes <). Is there a way to tell Outlook the body content is HTML and should be parsed as such?

A: This is the way to make the body in html format
newMail.HTMLBody  = htmltext

Q: Login fails when using FQDN to access local Windows 10 shares I have a Windows 10 Professional PC running 20H2 build 19042.685.  I recently reformatted the PC and freshly installed this version.  It was running the same or very similar version prior to the reformat.  It is set up with local accounts (not Microsoft accounts), and uses workgroups.  Prior to the reformat, I was able to access file shares using the FQDN (\\host.domain.name\share), as well as the IP and hostname.  Now, I can access the IP and hostname, but the FQDN no longer works.  If I sniff port 445 in Wireshark, I don't get any traffic when accessing the FQDN, but I do when I access the IP and hostname.  If I connect to the FQDN, I get an Audit Failure Event ID 4625 in the Security log, with status 0xC000006D, sub-status 0x0.  I am prompted for a username and password.  No matter what username and password I give, it fails.  I am not prompted when I open the IP or hostname.  My router/firewall (Ubiquiti EdgeRouter Lite) is also doing DNS, and registers DHCP leases with DNS, giving the FQDN.
What am I missing?  What can I do to troubleshoot this further?

A: I found a setting buried in System -> Rename this PC (advanced) -> Change... -> More...: Primary DNS suffix of this computer.  Setting this to the appropriate DNS suffix made the login issue go away.


Critical questions you must answer about a draft choice.
The draft like life is based on rules. In both, it isn't how much you know, or who you know that gives you the power to succeed. It is how much you know about who you know that gives you power.
The secrets to a GM keeping his job is simple—avoid draft busts and don't trade the barn for someone else's head cases. We will discuss trade theory later. Now I want to review the questions that scouts and GMs MUST ask about players before they take the plunge to draft them.
Because of the controversy about the Lions taking a QB or OL, today we will look at that position. We will look at critical questions on other positions later in the week.
Over the last 30 years, more QBs taken in the first 2 rounds have failed than have been at least serviceable. While a good number of those guys have gone to really bad teams, that does not explain the high rate of failure. As a HC or GM, you can survive a QB bust taken in round 3 or 4. You probably won't survive a bust at QB taken in the first round or early second.
Has this guy done as well on the road against a tough team as he has at home against Whats-a-Matta U? If a QB, RB or WR has built up stats against cream puffs at home but struggled on the road against good competition, he won't be a consistent producer in the NFL.
Does he want the ball when the game is on the line? Winners do and busts do not.
Can he lead the team back to win when the rest of the game has gone badly? Being a Browns fan, I HATE JOHN ELWAY! But you have to give him credit for being able to pull out the tight game against a good team in the 4th quarter.
What was his Wonderlic score? Remember, the goal here is avoid a bust. Vince Young got a 6 on his first test and Matt Stafford got a 38 out of 50 possible points. That doesn't mean that Stafford is the next Payton Manning but it does raise a red flag the size of the Atlantic Ocean about taking Young in the first round.
How does he do answering questions at the chalk board? Can he explain the best routes against a rotating zone vs against a combination man/zone coverage? If not, he will never be able to make the correct reads and the throws against live pass rush in the NFL.
What kind of competition did he play against on the road? If he played in division 2, he had better have dominated it. There is a reason that so many successful QBs that come from the Mid American conference—every big game against BCS conference teams is on the road. The more starts he has against top college talent, the better are his chances of succeeding in the NFL.
Is he a bad loser? With all respect to good sportsmanship, I don't want a QB or any player that takes a loss well. I want them to do what Tim Tebo did when Florida lost to Ole Miss last year—promise to carry the team on his back and then do it.
Does he develop "happy feet" under a tough pass rush? You can tell a lot about a QB by watching his feet when he is under pressure from a good pass rush. Does he shuffle his feet in a way that would qualify him for a spot on Dancing with the Stars or is he solid in the pocket moving just enough to find a passing lane?
Where are his eyes when the pocket is collapsing around him? If he is looking down field despite the heat, he is a keeper. If he is looking at the pass rush in college, he will be spending a lot of time on his back in the NFL.
Are more than 20 percent of his passes thrown to backs rather than to a WR or TE? If he panics and uses the safety valve more than 20 percent of the time in college, he will never have the confidence to throw down field in the NFL.
After asking yourself all these questions, do you still want to take a QB with the first overall pick and give him 75 million in guarantees? I didn't think so.
I think Stafford is still a good choice. He does want the ball when the game is on the line, he does make big plays in a tough conference like the SEC and I think he can lead a team when everything has gone wrong.
I think we overrated Georgia this year. They weren't as good as everyone thought they'd be but Stafford was still solid.
I like the question about how well a QB takes losses. I remember Troy Smith not really caring about getting killed by Florida in the National Championship. A pretty good example.

The Harem of the Sun King
In 2011 a team from the University of Basel made two astonishing discoveries in Egypt's Valley of the Kings. By chance they came across a new tomb that was the first to contain a body since the discovery of Tutankhamun.
Then they discovered that the tomb beside it, which had never been excavated before, held the bodies of around 50 people. But who were all the people in these two linked tombs?
Building Pharaoh's Chariot
Early in the Egyptian New Kingdom, more than three and a half thousand years ago, a technological revolution took place in Egypt. The chariot arrived.
Over the next few hundred years the Egyptians built the greatest empire the world had ever seen. Was the chariot their secret weapon?
The Solomon Treasures
A series of extraordinary finds comes to light in Israel, but not all these discoveries are quite what they seem.
Official investigations are revealing that apparently priceless objects are actually fake, and Israeli archaeologists fear that history and science is being repeatedly distorted.
King Solomon's Tablet of Stone
A few years ago, a remarkable stone tablet mysteriously turns up in Israel. It appears to come from the Temple of Solomon.
The tablet is an archaeological bombshell. But as scientists and scholars study the tablet they discover another more sinister mystery hidden within the stone.
Egypt Live: Secret Chambers revealed
Live from Giza, Dr Zahi Hawass and a team of engineers explore the mysterious southern shaft within the Great Pyramid.
A state of the art robot traverses the length of the shaft to drill through a blocking stone at the end and reveal what lies beyond. And Dr Hawass opens Egypt's oldest intact sarcophagus…
The Mystery of the Persian Mummy
An extraordinary mummy is discovered in Pakistan. The body is believed to be that of a Persian Princess 2,600 years old.
As scientists investigate, the mummy begins to reveal a terrible secret, a secret that turns this archaeological triumph into a modern murder hunt.
Private Lives of the Pharaohs (3 x 60')
Three remarkable stories from Egypt following leading experts as they use new forensic techniques to uncover some of the greatest mysteries of the Pharaohs…
What was the significance of the blue lotus flower one can see everywhere in the nobles' tombs? What can the bodies of two foetuses found with Tutankhamun reveal about the end of the 18th dynasty? And what can the tombs of the pyramid builders tell us about who built the pyramids and how?

EDGEFIELD, S.C.—Those who have ever attended the National Wild Turkey Federation's annual Convention and Sport Show in Nashville know live music is a mainstay in the nonprofit's celebration of conservation successes. After an absence in 2021, the NWTF is excited to return to Music City in February of 2022 and proud to announce country music superstar Chris Janson as the special performer following Saturday night's Grand National Auction. "I'm extremely excited to be making my return to perform for the amazing folks attending the NWTF Convention and Sport Show in Nashville," said Janson. "Nobody loves the outdoors more than I do, and I am humbled and proud to be part of it. When I am not out on the road doing shows or writing songs, my time is spent with my family hunting and fishing. Performing the closing night is going to be more awesome than ever before, and I can't wait to see everyone who shares the common ground of believing in conservation and the love of the outdoors."
"We already are seeing an unmatched level of excitement for the return to Nashville by our members, volunteers and partners, and who better to give a special performance during our celebration than acclaimed, high-octane performer Chris Janson," said Jason Burckhalter, NWTF chief information officer.
Janson — the platinum-selling recording artist with four No. 1 hit singles, ACM award winner and 2020 NWTF convention performer — will take the stage on the last evening of the convention following the NWTF's Grand National Auction where attendees will have the opportunity to bid on once-in-a-lifetime hunting trip and vacation packages, as well as other unique items of interest to outdoor enthusiasts.

About the National Wild Turkey FederationWhen the National Wild Turkey Federation was founded in 1973, there were about 1.3 million wild turkeys in North America. After decades of work, that number hit a historic high of almost 7 million turkeys. To succeed, the NWTF stood behind science-based conservation and hunters' rights. Today, the NWTF is focused on the future of hunting and conservation through its Save the Habitat. Save the Hunt. initiative. Since 2012, this 10-year initiative has already eclipsed goals of conserving or enhancing more than 4 million acres of essential wildlife habitat, recruiting or retaining more than 1.5 million hunters and opening access to more than 500,000 acres for hunting and other recreation opportunities. This critical work will continue to impact wildlife habitat and our great outdoors in the final years of the initiative.

Home/Politics/Pelosi urges Home to press for impeachment if Trump doesn't step down
Pelosi urges Home to press for impeachment if Trump doesn't step down
Zetpress 7 days ago
U.S. Spokeswoman Nancy Pelosi, a Democrat from California, speaks during a press conference at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, DC on Wednesday, December 30, 2020.

House spokeswoman Nancy Pelosi urged the House of Representatives to press ahead with impeachment if President Donald Trump does not resign after helping fuel the deadly mob takeover of the U.S. Capitol, she said Friday.
"It is the hope of the members that the president resigns immediately," said the California Democrat in a statement after a call to her caucus. "But if he doesn't, I have instructed the regulatory committee to stand ready to push legislation on Congressman Jamie Raskin's 25th amendment and impeachment."
The House Rules Committee is expected to expedite the impeachment process without hearing or voting by the committee. Those steps would slow the process down just days before Trump left office on Jan. 20. The separate Pelosi bill, drafted by Rep. Jamie Raskin of Maryland, would formally set up a commission for Vice President Mike Pence and the cabinet could remove Trump from office.
The president has given no indication that he will consider resigning. The vice president reportedly denies appeal to the 25th amendment.
The House has been preparing to indict Trump an unprecedented second time after the President's supporters stormed the Capitol on Wednesday and delayed Congress formal counting of President-elect Joe Biden's election victory. At least five people, including a US Capitol police officer, died as a result of the attack on lawmakers.
Raskin and Rep. David Cicilline, DR.I., and Ted Lieu, D-Calif., Plan to introduce at least one impeachment article on Monday referring to Trump causing the riots, NBC News reported.
Trump spoke to his supporters before they marched on the Capitol and voiced conspiracy theories that cost him the election. He lied to her about the results for two months before confirming Thursday that a "new government" would take over.
In a draft impeachment trial, "Incitement to Insurrection," received by NBC News, Trump is accused of "involvement in high crimes and misdemeanors by intentionally inciting violence against the United States government." It goes on to say that Trump "threatened the integrity of the democratic system, disrupted peaceful transfers of power, and compromised a coordinated branch of government by" betraying "his confidence as President in order to prevent the apparent harm to the people of the United States."
The content of the article can change before Monday. In a tweeted statement, Lieu said the measure has more than 150 co-sponsors. He added that "doing nothing is not an option".
Massachusetts MP Katherine Clark, the fourth-tier House Democrat, previously told CNN that the Chamber could take action against Trump "as early as the middle of next week."
Democrats have called for Trump to be removed as they warn that he could further deteriorate democratic institutions or endanger more lives in his final days in office.
In a statement Friday, White House spokesman Judd Deere said the indictment, "A president with 12 days remaining will only serve to further divide our great country."
It's unclear if Democrats have enough time to remove the president before inauguration day – or how many Republicans will join them. Kevin McCarthy, minority chairman of the House of Representatives, who opposed counting Biden's election victories in Arizona and Pennsylvania after the mob attacked the Capitol, spoke out against impeachment because it would "only divide our country further."
Pelosi and Senate Minority Chairman Chuck Schumer, DN.Y., on Thursday called on Pence and Trump's cabinet to remove Trump, citing the 25th amendment. They said he could not stay in office after instigating a "riot". More than 190 other lawmakers, only one of whom is Republican, have also called for Trump to be removed since the attack.
Senator Lisa Murkowski, a Republican from Alaska, called on Trump to resign but did not comment on the impeachment.
Pelosi and Schumer said invoking the 25th amendment, which requires support from Pence and a majority in the cabinet, is the quickest way to ensure the president leaves office. While officials like Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo discussed the prospect of Trump being removed, they decided not to take the move for now.
The day after hundreds of rioters stormed the U.S. Capitol, House spokeswoman Nancy Pelosi said again that Vice President Mike Pence should invoke the 25th amendment to recall President Donald Trump, otherwise she will face impeachment proceedings during a press conference The President will usher in Capitol Hill in Washington, DC January 7, 2021.
Melina Mara | The Washington Post | Getty Images
In a letter to the Democrats on Friday, Pelosi said she and Schumer "hope to hear about it." [Pence] as soon as possible "on whether to invoke the 25th Amendment.
"If the president does not leave office immediately and willingly, Congress will continue our action," she wrote.
House Justice Committee chairman Rep. Jerry Nadler, DN.Y., said Thursday that lawmakers could take steps to expedite the impeachment process.
"We have limited time to act," said Nadler in a statement. "The nation cannot afford a lengthy process, and I support putting impeachment proceedings right on the floor of the House."
According to NBC, Pelosi wanted to speak to Biden about the process on Friday. The president-elect said Friday that he would leave it to Congress to decide what action to take before it is inaugurated.
The Democratic house would have enough support to indict Trump, likely with a handful of Republican votes. The chamber did this once in December 2019.
But the GOP-controlled Senate, which acquitted the president last year, could not follow suit. Only one Republican – Mitt Romney of Utah – voted to remove Trump after his first impeachment trial.
Until elected Democratic Senators Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff of Georgia are sworn in to seal a Democratic majority, Republicans will have a 51-48 lead in the Senate. A two-thirds vote to remove Trump would require 66 votes, with 18 Republicans on board.
At least one Republican who first voted against removing Trump would now consider doing so more seriously.
"When the House gets together and has a lawsuit, I would definitely consider what articles they could move because, like I told you, I believe the President disregarded his oath of office … what he did was evil" , Senator Ben Sasse, R-Neb., Told CBS on Friday.
Senator Lindsey Graham, RS.C., argued in a Friday tweet that the charges against Trump would now "do more harm than good." He said efforts to remove a president who contributed to a siege of the Capitol "would not only be unsuccessful in the Senate, it would set a dangerous precedent for the future of the presidency."

Can no one hear us scream? Please Ridley, no more Alien films!
Week in geek
Ridley Scott has announced his intention to make a third Alien prequel. When will he and sci-fi's other great auteurs learn to leave their franchises alone?
Thu 30 May 2019 08.47 EDT Last modified on Fri 31 May 2019 08.32 EDT

If a film-maker sets out on a new project with the best of intentions, is it really fair for fans to criticise them when the result of their endeavours ends up the most rotten of eggs?
Last week in this column, I asked whether, 20 years after the execrable Phantom Menace was first shown in cinemas, it might be time to forgive George Lucas. As recently as 2015, the Star Wars film-maker was still defending himself in public against critics of his second Star Wars trilogy, aghast that he should be subjected to such vilification when all he had ever wanted to do was make films.
"You go to make a movie and all you do is get criticised, and people try to make decisions about what you're going to do before you do it," Lucas told Vanity Fair. "And it's not much fun. You can't experiment. You have to do it a certain way. I don't like that, I never did. I started out in experimental films and I want to go back to experimental films."
It is hard to argue with this auteurist line of reasoning. The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith were Lucas's movies – at least until he sold the Star Wars franchise to Disney for $4bn – and, from a certain point of view, he had every right to deliver 400-minutes-plus of self-indulgent space fantasy claptrap provided it cleaved snugly to his own creative vision. Such an argument only breaks down when you actually watch the prequel trilogy, when it becomes obvious that no amount of decent intentions can make up for the folly of Jar Jar Binks, Zebedee-Yoda and Anakin the whingeing teenage Jedi. (It is also worth noting that Lucas has not actually gone back to making interesting experimental films – or indeed any films – since.)

I was reminded of Lucas's comments when reading Ridley Scott's recent interview with the Hollywood Reporter, to mark 40 years since the release of Alien. Discussing the 33-year gap between that and the release of Prometheus, during which he stayed away from the slasher-in-space saga, the British director revealed he had misgivings about retreading his iconic work, and that he only agreed to return when given permission to divert the series away from its roots.
"You get to the point when you say, 'OK, it's dead in the water,'" said Scott. "I said to them, 'Listen, you can resurrect this, but we have to go back to scratch and go to a prequel, if you like.' So we go to Prometheus, which was not bad actually."
It is easy to see why Scott did not want to give us another movie about xenomorphs, preferring instead to explore how the evil space beasts got to LV-426 in the first place (and what kind of horrid race might have engineered them). Unfortunately, the Engineer race whose origins were teased in Prometheus ended up so tediously portentous on a conceptual level that even Scott managed to conveniently forget all about them by the time the sequel, Alien: Covenant, rolled around five years later.
Ridley Scott: 'I wanted to scare the shit out of people. That's the job'
Alien: Covenant – why Ridley Scott's facehuggers and chestbursters will never die
Once again, this is where the argument in favour of directors being given free rein to experiment breaks down. For all that we, Scott's fans, want him to be able to pursue his original vision, free from the pressure to shoehorn his films into any box, it is very hard to take when those visions finally find their way into cinemas as virtually unwatchable drivel.
The news that Scott hasn't given up on making a third prequel (despite Covenant's lukewarm reviews and dreadful box-office receipts) does little to discourage the view that he really should take a deep breath and walk away. Alien is such a great and groundbreaking film that no amount of redundant prequels and sequels will ever reduce its luminous majesty. It will always be there as a never-to-be-improved-upon metaphor for the icy despair and inhuman horror of deep space.
That does not mean Scott should be allowed to keep indulging his increasingly haphazard and madcap attempts to flesh out the story. Down on Earth, the fans are making noise all right, but it turns out their screams still go unheard.

Op-ed | Reshoring pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturing would save lives, create jobs
March 30, 2020 by Michael Stumo
As coronavirus hits, we should realize we're relying too much on far-flung and stretched global supply chains
We've heard a lot in recent years about the benefits of a globalized supply chain. But this year, America's international supply chain was tested by the coronavirus pandemic. It failed.
[Jeff Ferry | March 30, 2020 | MarketWatch]
Patients are dying in hospitals all over the country. A New York City nurse, aged 48, has died of COVID-19. Medical staff are blaming the hospital for not providing enough protective gear. But protective gear is in desperately short supply nationwide; most of it comes from Asia.
In Italy, where the pandemic is more advanced, 5,211 health care workers are reported to have the virus; 33 have died so far. "Our doctors have been sent to war unarmed," said the leader of Italy's doctor's association this week.
The U.S. has overtaken Italy and China to become the nation with the most COVID-19 cases—more than 143,00 cases. New York City is now ground zero for COVID-19, with nearly 800 deaths so far. A young New York pediatric surgeon recently wrote in the New York Times that "boxes of gloves and other personal protective equipment were dwindling." She warned, "We are likely to run out of ventilators…We need more equipment and we need it now. Specifically, gloves, masks, eye protection and more ventilators."
The gloves come mainly from Malaysia, which has suspended shipments due to shortages of supplies. Masks come mainly from China; manufacturers there have been told to meet all domestic orders first, before exporting. And although ventilators are manufactured mostly in the U.S., they depend on parts that come from China.
Time to bring production back home
The United States is the world's largest economy and needs to have the capability to make these vital health-care supplies at home. Only 30 years ago, we did have that capability. However, the rush to globalize — and to abandon key manufacturing sectors — has left the nation vulnerable during this crisis.
It's time to restore our capability to manufacture at home.
At the Coalition for a Prosperous America, we carried out an economic modeling exercise to study the economic impact of reshoring a significant portion of the nation's pharmaceutical production. This is particularly urgent right now, since the U.S. no longer manufactures the vast majority of the generic drugs we consume each day. Many crucial antibiotics, including some used to treat COVID-19, rely on ingredients made only in China.
Last year, the U.S. imported $128 billion worth of pharmaceuticals. Our study found that cutting America's pharmaceutical imports roughly in half, and sourcing them through domestic production, would generate 804,000 new jobs and add $200 billion to U.S. gross domestic product.
We also looked at medical supplies, which accounted for roughly $53 billion worth of imports last year. Reshoring production for half of those supplies could generate an additional 302,000 jobs and add $54 billion to GDP.
1.1 million jobs
The combination of these two reshoring initiatives—for pharmaceuticals and medical equipment—would add a total of 1.1 million good-paying jobs to the U.S. economy and $254 billion to GDP.
Significantly, pharmaceutical manufacturing jobs pay an average of 47% more than the average American job. These are well-paid positions. Increasing them would generate other supporting jobs in the U.S. economy.
The benefits of an expanded domestic health-care supply chain are not just economic, however. There's also faster response during a crisis, more lives saved, and the ability to determine our own future.
Michael Einhorn, the president of a New York medical distributor, reports that he just paid $40,000 for a shipment of protective equipment flown in from Shanghai. "Doctors are risking their lives," he told me. "This is a national security issue. We cannot be in a position where we're at the mercy of other countries for vital supplies of medical equipment. When this is over, we have to study this and figure out a way to bring this production back home."
When the COVID pandemic ends, America's global supply chain must be replaced with local and national sourcing. And it won't just be in health care—although that should be a top priority. It will be in many industries. The U.S. must once again recapture its position as the world's leading producer and innovator.

Q: Trigger a Dialogflow event periodically I want my Dialogflow bot to send periodic messages through a Cronjob. I would do this by triggering an event through the /query endpoint. However, I am not sure how to get the sessionId. If I pass the last sessionId used, the response returns successfully, but I get no message in the conversation. Does the API support this pattern at all? All my sessionIds come from the same instance of the Facebook Messenger client

A: You should definitely use Facebook Messenger Broadcast API for this kind of functionality. This will broadcast your message to all users subscribed to the bot, you can execute this as a CRON job.
SessionID sending works but would get unwieldy down the line especially if you get a lot of users on the bot.
Caveats:

*

*You have to apply for this permission. (pages_messaging and pages_messaging_subscriptions.Takes about 1-2 days, but
can test on Admin/Test users of the app)

*Each broadcast has to be a separate broadcast. (e.g. you can't send image and a text together, each has to be its own individual broadcast).

*Have some kind of un-subscription option as well. FB user might think you are spamming even if you clearly say in the messages that your bot will send updates.

*Use custom labels to create targetted sends. So you can either subdivide who you will send updates to about specific issues or just label people if they unsubscribe to your broadcast or not.

Basic workflow:

*

*Get permission to broadcast.

*Create message_creative_id via POST to endpoint

*Use message_creative_id to POST a broadcast_messages

*On a successful send you will get back broadcast_id

A: Dialogflow doesn't support proactive messaging at this time and session IDs are generated by Dialogflow and are only active for 20min after the last message is sent.
The only way to send messages proactively to your users would be to use the same Facebook Messenger authentication information you've configured in Dialogflow to send a Facebook message to the user you'd like to notify.  When the user responds the request will go to Dialogflow and your Dialogflow agent will respond and continue the conversation.

A bridge deployment is one method of deploying a BIG-IP system directly in the path of traffic, such as between a WAN router and LAN switch. In bridge mode, the BIG-IP system is transparent on the network, and the system optimizes traffic using a single bridge self IP address. This configuration allows the BIG-IP system to bridge the LAN and WAN subnets, and requires no changes to the router configuration.
Note: If you are using IPsec encapsulation, F5 recommends that you use a routed deployment rather than a bridge deployment.
This illustration shows a pair of BIG-IP systems in a bridge deployment (Site B) on one side of the WAN, and a one-arm deployment on the other side.
Before you configure an iSession connection on the BIG-IP system, make sure that you have completed the following general prerequisites.
F5 recommends that both units be running the same BIG-IP software version.
The Application Acceleration Manager license is enabled.
If you are configuring a BIG-IP system in bridge mode, you configure two VLANs and a VLAN group, and then associate a self IP address with the VLAN group.
Create VLANs for the internal and external interfaces on the BIG-IP system.
In the Name field, type lan.
For the Interfaces setting, click an internal interface (port) in the Available list, and move the selected interface to the Untagged or Tagged list, depending on your network configuration. This VLAN is for the traffic that the BIG-IP system you are configuring will optimize.
Click Repeat. The VLAN lan is added to the VLAN list, and the New VLAN screen opens.
For the Interfaces setting, click an external interface (port) in the Available list, and move the selected interface to the Untagged or Tagged list, depending on your network configuration. This VLAN terminates the existing inbound iSession connections.
Click Finished. The screen refreshes, and displays the two new VLANs in the list.
Create a VLAN group that includes the internal and external VLANS you created.
On the Main tab, click Network > VLANs > VLAN Groups. The VLAN Groups list screen opens.
Click Create. The New VLAN Group screen opens.
In the Name field, type bridge.
For the VLANs setting, move the lan and wan VLANs that you created, from the Available list to the Members list.
If you are using IPsec encapsulation (not recommended for bridge mode), from the Transparency Mode list, select Opaque.
You have created a VLAN group that bridges the LAN and WAN subnets.
A VLAN group must be created before you add a self IP address.
Create a self IP address to associate with the VLAN group you created.
In the Name field, type a descriptive name for the self IP address, for example bridge.
In the IP Address field, type an IP address that is not in use and resides on the VLAN group you created. In the example shown, this is 10.150.2.1.
From the VLAN/Tunnel list, select bridge, which is the VLAN group you created.
The self IP address is assigned to the VLAN group specified.
You must define a route on the local BIG-IP system for sending traffic to its destination. In the example shown, the route defined uses the default gateway to send traffic to the router.
In the Name field, type a name for the default gateway, such as default-gateway.
In the Destination field, type the destination IP address for the route.
In the Destination field, type the 6rd IPv6 network address.
For the Gateway Address setting, select IP Address and type the IP address of the gateway.
Important: Use this task as a checkpoint before proceeding with iSessionsetup.
Ping the gateway using the command-line access to the BIG-IP system.
Ping end-to-end across the WAN. In the example shown, this is between Server 1 and Server 2.
Initiate a TCP file transfer between Server 1 and Server 2.
You cannot view the Quick Start screen until you have defined at least one VLAN and at least one self IP on a configured BIG-IP system that is provisioned for acceleration.
Use the Quick Start screen to quickly set up symmetric optimization on a single screen of the BIG-IP system using the default settings. To optimize WAN traffic, you must configure symmetric optimization on both sides of the WAN.
For the Inbound iSession from WAN setting, leave the default selection wom-default-clientssl or select another SSL profile for which the Non-SSL Connections setting is enabled.
To complete the setup, repeat this task on the BIG-IP system on the other side of the WAN. After you configure the iSession endpoints, use an iApp template to select the application traffic for optimization. Click Acceleration > Quick Start > Deploy Applications. Click Create, from the Template list select f5.replication, and follow the online instructions.
At this point, you have finished configuring the iSession connection on BIG-IP systems at opposite sides of the WAN, and the systems have discovered their remote endpoints.
On the Main tab, click Acceleration > Dashboard > WAN Optimization, and view the traffic optimization data.
Ensure that you have configured the BIG-IP system in a bridge deployment.
You can view details of the bridge deployment configuration from the command line.
After you complete the tasks in this implementation, the BIG-IP system is configured in a bridge deployment. For symmetric optimization using an iSession connection, you must also configure the BIG-IP system on the other side of the WAN. The other BIG-IP deployment can be in bridge, routed, or one-arm mode.

Berlin Diary is a visual account of my observations in Berlin, focusing particularly on the city's foreigners in the winter and springtime of 2010 and 2011. The film portrays various types of foreigners, Turkish, Kurdish and Arab people from the second and third generation of former Gastarbeiter, but also street musicians and other people who try to make the best of their life in this European metropolis. Many times I fell in conversation with foreigners in U or S-Bahn stations. Most of them told me that they feel at home in Berlin. I wanted to know how these foreigners live and survive and what "feeling at home" in Berlin actually means to them.
The film is also a personal account because I have lived in Berlin for a large part of my life, as well as many years in Amsterdam. A Dutch friend of mine once said: "In Amsterdam you're not really at home, but you're not a foreigner either." And a friend in Berlin said to me: "But you're not at home anymore in Berlin." From this uprooted starting point I tried to find out why Berlin is so attractive to foreigner nowadays.
I filmed without any premeditated plans, using a small digital camera, simply following my intuition or some particular visual attractions of the city: in winter, when people flee into the underground from the cold, or in springtime, when the citizens all seem to emerge from their hide-outs to enjoy the first sunshine.
