First Revelations From Bob Woodward Book On Donald Trump Makes For A Greater Constitutional Crisis Than Even Realized Until Now
September 4, 2018 Ronald 3 Comments
The new Bob Woodward book–FEAR: TRUMP IN THE WHITE HOUSE–is not due out until Tuesday, September 11, but early revelations about the contents of the book make it clear that America and the world is in its greatest constitutional and foreign policy crisis since the infamous September 11, 2001!
The book contains evidence that the top people around Trump think of him as a moron, an idiot, a sixth grader, as someone who cannot be taught or explained anything, as an unhinged person who is dangerous and unstable. Trump is also described as a compulsive liar, and someone who is regularly furious, angry, and frustrated for long periods of time, and spending hours watching cable news and utilizing Twitter.
Those cited include John Kelly, White House Chief of Staff; James Mattis, Secretary of Defense; Rob Porter, former White House Staff Secretary to the President; Reince Preibus, former White House Chief of Staff; Gary Cohn, former Presidential Economic Adviser; and Rex Tillerson, former Secretary of State.
A lot of incendiary and insulting language is used by these people and others in quotes that Woodward gained in doing his research, This has never happened to this extent before, not even under President Richard Nixon during Watergate!
Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner are also described in an unflattering manner, as acting privileged and self serving.
So as much as we knew or perceived before, now we are fully in awareness of the potential disaster we are facing, and the urgency of the immediate removal of Donald Trump from the Oval Office!
The good thing is that Kelly and Mattis, both military veterans, are staying on for now, and they can help protect the nation from the maniacal behavior of Trump, including, apparently, the prevention of the signing by Trump of documents that would be destructive in domestic and foreign policy, with Trump apparently not aware that the documents he was supposed to sign had disappeared.
If and when these two military veterans are fired or choose to resign, then the danger of Trump becoming ever more dangerous to the nation and the world accelerates.
Seriously, with obvious dismay by many Trump associates, it is time for Vice President Mike Pence and the cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment, Section 4, and remove Trump from the Oval Office sooner, rather than later!

Donald Trump's White House Culture Of Corruption: One Of Sleaze, Crooks, Scam Artists, Incompetence, And Pure Greed
August 9, 2018 Ronald Leave a comment
Donald Trump's White House is one of sleaze, crooks, scam artists, incompetence, and pure greed!
Who among people who work around Donald Trump have faced accusations or more, fitting the descriptions above?
The list is long, with no special order, with the first list (10) being former officials.
Michael Flynn, former National Security Adviser
Paul Manafort, former Trump campaign Chairman
Steve Bannon, former Senior Counselor to the President, and former White House Chief Strategist
Anthony Scaramucci, former White House Director of Communications
Hope Hicks, former White House Director of Communications
Tom Price, former Secretary of Health and Human Services
Scott Pruitt, former head of the Environmental Protection Agency
Rex Tillerson, former Secretary of State
Sean Spicer, former White House Press Secretary
Reince Priebus, former White House Chief of Staff
The list of officials (14) who are still working for Donald Trump, and fit the title of this blog entry, include, in order of ranking in the cabinet:
Secretary of The Treasury Steven Mnuchin
Secretary of The Interior Ryan Zinke
Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue
Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross
Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Ben Carson
Secretary of Transportation Elaine Chao
Secretary of Energy Rick Perry
Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos
Former Secretary of Homeland Security, and White House Chief of Staff John Kelly
Secretary of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen
Director of the Office of Management and Budget and Acting Director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Mick Mulvaney
White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders
White House Lawyer Rudy Giuliani
These two lists and total of 24 people are only the best known and most reported upon, but there are numerous others, lower down in influence and notice, who have also added to the degradation of the Trump Presidency.
Also, there is the corruption within the Trump family, including Donald Trump Jr, Ivanka Trump, and Jared Kushner, making this President's family the most disgraceful First Family we have ever seen.
And we cannot ignore the reality that Vice President Mike Pence seems involved in the Trump scandals, if nothing else than simply his silence, and his constant nodding like a bobble head behind Trump, as he makes outrageous accusations and personal attacks.
There are also those who either left or were forced out due to controversy over their disagreements with Trump, with Gary Cohn, former Chief Economic Adviser, and H. R. McMaster, former National Security Adviser, two of the more well known and competent people who could not survive in the Trump White House.
So again, this list above is far from complete, but it demonstrates, minus Cohn and McMaster, the disaster of the Trump Presidency, easily the most corrupt and incompetent administration, with the strong likelihood of more indictments and convictions once the Trump Presidency has been completed, than any other President, certain to surpass Richard Nixon, Warren G. Harding, and Ulysses S Grant, for the level of disgrace brought upon the White House!
There will be many volumes in the future, analyzing and dissecting all of the specific examples of corruption during the time Donald Trump will have been in office.

Trump Cabinet Members: One Disaster After Another, From Tom Price To Ronny Jackson!
April 24, 2018 Ronald Leave a comment
The Trump Cabinet is one disaster after another.
Trump has dismissed many people behind him, both those in his Cabinet, and others in positions of authority, and others have come under fire, but are still there.
Rex Tillerson, Tom Price, David Shulkin are gone, along with Reince Priebus, Michael Flynn, H. R. McMaster, and Sean Spicer, and Scott Pruitt, Ryan Zinke, Jeff Sessions, Steve Mnuhcin, Betsy DeVos, Wilbur Ross, Ben Carson, Mick Mulvaney, and now Ronny Jackson are under scrutiny. Even John Kelly, the second White House Chief of Staff, has lost his reputation serving Trump.
There has been more turnover, including the White House Chief of Staff, National Security Adviser, and White House Press Secretary, than under any President after just 15 months.
The above mentioned list of present cabinet officers, as well as Ronny Jackson, the White House Physician now nominated to be Secretary of Veterans Affairs, have had issues of corruption and malfeasance, and are under a cloud that may force all of them to leave the administration over time.
Just about the only Trump advisers who are seen as "clean" are Secretary of Defense James Mattis and United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley.
Richard Nixon, Warren G. Harding, Ulysses S. Grant, Ronald Reagan, and George W. Bush all had a substantial number of people who served in their administrations forced out, or indicted, convicted, and sentenced to prison, but it looks as if Donald Trump is presiding over the most disgraceful group of advisers we have ever seen in any Presidency!

Growing Evidence Of Many More Trump Staff And Advisers Facing Prosecution In Most Corrupt Administration In American History
January 23, 2018 Ronald 12 Comments
So far, only four people surrounding Donald Trump have been implicated in the scandals of the most corrupt President in American history, bar none.
But Robert Mueller is, after eight months, clearly investigating many others for various violations of the law in many different areas
So far, Paul Manafort, Rick Gates, George Papadopoulos, and Michael Flynn have been brought to legal action by the Special Counsel.
But there is growing evidence that many more Trump staff and advisers are facing prosecution, and soon.
Expect criminal prosecution of Attorney General Jeff Sessions; Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke; Environmental Protection Agency Head Scott Pruitt; former aide Stephen Bannon; Secretary of the Treasury Steven Mnuchin; Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross; White House Counselor Kelly Anne Conway; White House economist Gary Cohn; former White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer; former White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus; among others. Some clearly will cooperate with Mueller to avoid prosecution or, at least, to have minimum liability legally.
But also expect Donald Trump, Jr; Ivanka Trump: Jared Kushner–Trump family children—to face legal problems, and possible indictment.
And racist, white supremacist, nativist aide Stephen Miller, will probably be shown to be engaged in illegal activities as well, a gut feeling on the part of the author, as Miller comes across as more of a sleaze ball than many.
And Donald Trump will not escape charges, and will be forced out of office for his various crimes–including potential charges of obstruction of justice, abuse of power, violation of the Emoluments Clause of the Constitution, money laundering, treason, as well as the corruption involving payoffs to Stormy Daniels and other women he has engaged with in sex scandals.
And do not be surprised if his wife, Melania, the First Lady, becomes the first case of seeking a divorce from a sitting President, or even a former President.

Trump Presidency Rapidly Becoming More Corrupt Administration Than Nixon, Grant, Harding!
September 30, 2017 Ronald 3 Comments
After only eight months in office, the Trump Presidency is rapidly becoming more corrupt than the Presidencies of Richard Nixon, Ulysses S. Grant, and Warren G. Harding.
Sic cabinet members, at the least, have engaged in corrupt acts–Tom Price, Health and Human Services Secretary, who has resigned, but also Steve Mnuchin, Secretary of the Treasury; Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke; Environmental Protection Agency head Scott Pruitt; Secretary of Veterans Affairs David Shulkin; and Secretary of Transportation Elaine Chao, who is the wife of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.
A dozen Trump appointees have been fired or resigned, among them the most prominent being Michael Flynn, Stephen Bannon, Sean Spicer, Reince Priebus, Sebastian Gorka, Anthony Scaramucci, and James Comey. And Trump has hinted at firing Attorney General Jeff Sessions and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and Special Counsel Robert Mueller over the investigation being conducted by Mueller over Russian collusion in the Presidential Election of 2016. Many others are on tenterhooks as to their survival in the Trump Administration, and some are expected to resign, due to the temper tantrums and tensions that exist in the White House under Donald Trump.
Many of the above list are on the way to indictment or at least engagement in corruption, and more of the cabinet members will be forced out, including others not yet publicly demonstrated to have engaged in corruption in office. Everyone is lawyering up, which is a sign of future trials and convictions coming.

Donald Trump Alienating His Base Among Congressional Republicans, Threatening Longevity Of His Presidency!
Donald Trump is rapidly alienating his base among Congressional Republicans, threatening the longevity of his Presidency as a result.
Having fired Paul Ryan associates Sean Spicer and Reince Priebus is an unwise move, as is the constant criticism and harassment of Attorney General Jeff Sessions, which has many Southern and conservative Senators and Congressmen furious at Trump, for his lack of loyalty.
Many Senators are harshly critical of Trump, including John McCain, Lindsey Graham, Ben Sasse, Jeff Flake, Dean Heller, Marco Rubio, Lamar Alexander, Bob Corker, Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Rand Paul, Mike Lee, Shelley Moore Capito, Rob Portman, and others.
More House of Representatives members are also unhappy, led by the Republican Establishment wing of Paul Ryan, who is still having to deal with the right wing Freedom Caucus extremists.
Trump is rapidly "burning his bridges", as he makes himself someone without strong party support.
The odds of eventual abandonment and impeachment are growing!

Can General John Kelly, New White House Chief Of Staff, Reign In Donald Trump? Unlikely!
August 1, 2017 Ronald 3 Comments
Wow, what a week!
First, we have Anthony Scaramucci come in as White House Communications Director and then go on a profanity laced tirade, which reminds us so much of Donald Trump, almost like a mini Trump.
No one at the White House had any issue with this misbehavior, including Kelly Anne Conway, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, and the President, who was reported to be very happy with his attack on Reince Priebus and Steve Bannon.
Soon, Reince Priebus, the White House Chief of Staff, is fired, a week after the firing of Sean Spicer, the White House Press Secretary, eliminating the two major connections to the Republican Establishment and Speaker of the House Paul Ryan.
Meanwhile, the attack on Attorney General Jeff Sessions on Twitter by President Trump continues, and Sessions just shrugs it off, and only says it is "hurtful".
The President makes a fool of himself and embarrasses the Boy Scout Jamboree with his political comments, and then tells police officers to be brutal with suspects, a violation of the Bill of Rights and the Constitution.
Then, Trump appoints General John Kelly, the Secretary of Homeland Security, to be his new White House Chief of Staff, and yesterday, his first day on the job, Kelly fired Scaramucci after only ten days in office, and not yet on the payroll!
The chaos and anarchy is continuing, and one had to wonder whether Kelly can reign in Donald Trump, and his behavior, including his abuse of Twitter.
If Kelly cannot do it, then no one can, clear and simple!
The Trump Presidency has reached a new low, and the calendar schedule for his ultimate downfall has been hastened by what, arguably, has been his worst week in office, although every week has been horrendous!

To Donald Trump, Loyalty Is A One Way Street, Only To Him, But Not To Others!
To Donald Trump, loyalty is a one way street, only to him, but not to others.
Trump has spent his whole life exploiting others for his own benefit, so it is not surprising that he has now dumped Sean Spicer and Reince Priebus, and that he is humiliating Attorney General Jeff Sessions, who seems unlikely to survive for long.
Trump expects total loyalty, and those who work for him, due to their own ambitions, refuse to repudiate him, even when dismissed, but one wonders if some day they will tell the truth about their monstrous boss, who uses everyone until their value is degraded, and then has no issue as to how they feel or react to their dismissal.
Trump has no willingness ever to care about others, all part of his narcissism, egotism, and delusional personality.
The best thing that could happen, but apparently will not, is that his aides and cabinet should unite together and convince Vice President Mike Pence that Trump is incompetent, dangerous, mentally unstable, and needs to be removed from office under the 25th Amendment Section 4.
The time of a major crisis is near with North Korea, and apparently, they will soon be capable of striking the continental United States in another year with a nuclear weapon.
Can we afford a man of such utter incompetence, lack of experience, and poor judgment as Donald Trump to deal with what could be the biggest crisis since September 11?

It Is Time For Donald Trump's Staff, Advisers, And Cabinet To Resign, As A Message To The President That He Should Resign!
June 11, 2017 Ronald Leave a comment
After four months of chaos, anarchy, insults, misbehavior, and outrageous words and actions by Donald Trump, it is time for his staff. advisers, and cabinet to resign as a group, as a message to the President that he should resign.
It is never easy to work for a President, and it is considered an honor and a lift to a future career and wealth, so it is understandable that many of those around any President might be reluctant to take drastic action such as mass resignation.
But one's reputation is also at stake, and one can earn wealth in the future just by having been on a President's staff.
One does not need to take unreasonable abuse and mistreatment, as so many around Donald Trump have suffered.
One must have personal dignity and principle, and decide that enough is enough.
For instance, Sean Spicer, the White House Press Secretary, has been horribly mistreated, and he is just the tip of the iceberg. And Reince Priebus, the White House Chief Of Staff, is not respected by his boss.
And his top Cabinet members often contradict him publicly, and then Trump reasserts the outrageous statements that ha has made, which they have tried to "clean up".
When the National Security Adviser H. R. McMaster; and the Secretary of Defense James Mattis; and the Secretary of State Rex Tillerson; and the United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley, among others, find themselves totally ignored, and they witness the irrational behavior of Donald Trump, they are not doing a service to ignore such erratic behavior, and are undermining the safety and national security of the United States.
It is time for men and women of principle to stand up and say they will not tolerate such disgraceful behavior, and that the President has shown by his words and actions that he is not fit to be President.
And this means Vice President Mike Pence must also start serious consideration of invoking the 25th Amendment, Section 4, as the commitment of the Vice President and the Cabinet is to do what is good for America, not for any one man who happens to be President.
Clearly, Donald Trump is unhinged, dangerous, and could start a nuclear war, and or declare martial law, horrifying thoughts that require a steady hand at the controls, not a wacky, unstable, narcissistic maniac named Donald Trump!

Total Disarray And Chaos In The Trump White House: Are Stephen Bannon And Reince Priebus On The Way Out?
April 9, 2017 Ronald 2 Comments
There seems to be total disarray and chaos in the Trump White House.
There are hints and indications that the Alt Right forces led by Stephen Bannon, already demoted from the National Security Council this past week, may be on the way out, which would be a good thing.
But there are also hints that Chief of Staff Reince Priebus may be gone soon, as well, seen as ineffective in controlling the chaos. Also, the role of Kelly Anne Conway has been cut back dramatically.
The growing role of Trump son in law Jared Kushner may be occurring, but one wonders if he is not being given too much responsibility and burdens for a man just 36 years old, and with ZERO experience in government.
Kushner's Democratic heritage, and that of others close to him, primarily from New York, makes one wonder if Trump will recast himself completely from what he was when he ran for President.
If Trump does that, it will alienate much of the Republican Party and many of the voters who supported him, as it is already apparent that he has veered away from much of what he pledged and promoted to his audiences on the campaign trail.
What it comes down to is that Trump is an open vessel, with no clear agenda as he sees failures in his first two and a half months, and may be shifting gears dramatically as we observe it occurring.
That does not mean that any progressive can trust or endorse whatever changes Trump creates, as he is still a very dangerous demagogue, and could enmesh America in two wars at once, in Syria and with North Korea.
And his policies on deportation of immigrants and a Muslim Ban are totally unacceptable, as are most of his cabinet officers, and policies on the environment, health care, and so many other areas of government.

Not Quite So Spooky
Following on last weekend's binge with The Lost Crown, I borrowed (and finished in a grand total of about five hours) tokmutti's copy of Lights Out (Dark Fall II), which I hadn't played yet. Purportedly a sequel to Dark Fall: The Journal, it uses the same basic engine and framework, and has a few overlapping characters or background elements, but is really a separate game rather than a direct sequel.
Unfortunately, particularly right on the heels of The Lost Crown, Lights Out fell a bit flat. Some of it was the time-sliding science fiction angle — instead of a spooky ghost hunt, Lights Out felt more like an episode of Doctor Who. While the first Dark Fall and The Lost Crown both had some of that element in it, the entire premise behind Lights Out depends on it, and while it may be just me, I don't find that the two graft together all that well.
The ending, I'm sad to say, was a bit of a let-down as well. Mr. Boakes does seem to have a recurring problem in this regard — once the last puzzle is solved, the game is over, with little-to-no denouement, and no direct evidence that you've succeeded — like actually showing you scenes of the main character(s) being alive, well, and happy again for instance. In Lights Out this is particularly pronounced, with your only reward being that the endgame animation tells you in passing that "all his crimes are undone" (which presumably can be extrapolated to mean that the lighthouse keepers didn't vanish, your character didn't get slandered by history, everybody at the D.E.O.S. labs was {will be?} fine, and so on). But just as you're looking for the payoff, the credits roll.
It's not that there's nothing good in Lights Out because there are some neat bits and a few interesting ideas. But on the whole, it's only really interesting in terms of its connection to the other games (Hadden Industries, the mysterious mariner Spivey, the Reubens family, a glimpse of Polly White, etc.) than as a strong entry on its own. Let's hope Dark Fall 3, which is supposedly in the works, will be a bit stronger.

New Jersey lawmaker bangs the drum for hydroxychloroquine
Pharmacist reaches for a bottle of Hydroxychloroquine | Mark Moran/The Citizens' Voice via AP
By Sam Sutton
President Donald Trump's push to put hydroxychloroquine at the forefront of his administration's coronavirus strategy may be quieting down, but one of his biggest proxies in New Jersey is keeping up the fight.
"Not only do I read the stories, I read the studies," state Sen. Joseph Pennacchio, who is co-chairman of Trump's 2020 campaign in New Jersey, told POLITICO on Wednesday. "The internet is a wonderful place," he added, saying he's discussed the issue with physicians.
Pennacchio, a retired dentist, has spent the better part of the last month advocating for state officials to open the floodgates on the use of hydroxychloroquine, citing controversial studies from French physician Dr. Didier Raoult and the support of hundreds of physicians through the New Jersey Doctor-Patient Alliance as questions continue to emerge about the drug.
On Tuesday, a government panel at the National Institutes of Health issued guidelines that hydroxychloroquine should not be used outside clinical trials when paired with antibiotics. The same day, a study of 368 men infected with coronavirus at Veterans Health Administration hospitals found that 28 percent who received hydroxychloroquine plus treatment died, compared to just 11 percent of those who received standard treatment alone.
The latter study has been submitted to the the New England Journal of Medicine and has not been reviewed by other scientists.
While many have cited anecdotal reports and studies suggesting hydroxychloroquine is an effective tool in fighting Covid-19, there's still no concrete clinical evidence to support the claims. New York is running a large ongoing clinical trial — one of several underway worldwide. The first batch of data from the New York trial was sent to federal agencies earlier this week.
Pennacchio (R-Morris) downplayed the veterans study, saying hydroxychloroquine would have limited effect on any patients who required a ventilator or were "on their last leg." He also took issue with the NIH, which noted in its "living document" guidance that the drug could lead to heart problems.
"What is their choice then? Nothing. That's the only choice," Pennacchio said, adding he didn't believe the NIH was offering any alternatives to hydroxychloroquine. "This is the same group of people that told you don't wear masks. … I mean, I'm not totally discounting them, but the first thing they're discounting is hope."
"The people on the front line, they seem to want this drug a lot more than the bureaucrats who are telling you what you should or shouldn't be doing without offering any alternatives," he said.
The rapid emergence of Covid-19 as a once-in-a-century public health crisis has forced elected officials and health systems to scramble for potential treatments.
In March, as case totals climbed in New Jersey — the state has recorded more than 95,000 cases and 5,063 deaths as of Wednesday — Trump began promoting anecdotal evidence and limited studies showing the drug had promise as a prophylactic, meaning it is most effective before Covid-19 patients begin exhibiting major symptoms.
The drug's promotion, both by Trump and conservative media figures, led to widespread reports of hoarding — potentially jeopardizing patients and physicians' ability to access the drugs for approved usages as an antimalarial and treatment for lupus and rheumatoid arthritis.
On March 30, New Jersey Attorney General Gurbir Grewal issued a directive to preserve supplies of the drug, limiting prescriptions in a Covid-19 setting to those who had tested positive for virus.
Delays in the testing process have forced many New Jersey patients to wait days or weeks before receiving results, which means even if reports of the drug's effectiveness were eventually affirmed by a clinical trial, it would be too late for patients requiring hospitalization.
"Assessing the impact of using HCQ in the sickest patient population is the equivalent of assessing the effectiveness of a bullet proof vest with someone who has already been shot," said Dr. Stavros Christoudias, chairman of the NJDPA board, in a statement. "It should be left to the clinical judgment of our physician community to weigh the risks and benefits of this medication on a case by case basis, as well as keeping up to date on the latest evidence for the medication's efficacy. Regulations should not be making that judgement for us."
That perspective is hardly shared by every physician.
Dr. Anthony Fauci, America's top infectious disease expert, went so far as to dismiss early reports on the drug as "anecdotal evidence" and said more clinical trials would be needed to say anything conclusive about its efficacy.
"People are using these medicines with little rhyme or reason and very little evidence," said Dr. Raymond Panettierri, the vice chancellor of clinical and translational Science at Rutgers Institute for Translational Medicine, in an interview.
"We need firm evidence. If the drugs were absolutely innocuous, the only downside would be cost," he said, noting HCQ's potential heart-related side effects. "I think the prudent use of studies driven by evidence is the way to go."
Panettierri is among the physicians leading a clinical trial at the Rutgers Cancer Institute, Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in New Brunswick and University Hospital in Newark to determine if coronavirus infections can be decreased faster with hydroxychloroquine or with the combination of hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin (better known by its common brand name Z-Pak).
The study is one of several being conducted throughout New Jersey into possible Covid-19 treatments, which include HCQ as well as Gilead's experimental drug remdesivir and convalescent plasma.
"We obviously don't have those results yet, because they're trials, but New Jersey and particularly the larger organizations in New Jersey, are pretty active in treating patients with Covid-19 and I think having better results than we even imagined a month ago," state Health Commissioner Judith Persichilli said at a daily coronavirus press briefing earlier this week.
Pennacchio, on the other hand, doesn't want to wait, going so far as to call for a select oversight committee to investigate the response by Gov. Phil Murphy's administration to the Covid-19 pandemic, largely based on his allegation the state has withheld hydroxychloroquine at Grewal's directive.
By the same token, should a vaccine for coronavirus reach trial stages, Pennacchio — a vocal opponent of mandatory childhood vaccinations — said he didn't believe those drugs should be tested on New Jersey residents en masse.
"Should we explore vaccinations? Absolutely," he said, commenting on New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo's offer for the federal government to use New York as a laboratory for future coronavirus vaccines. "He's willing to give people an untried vaccine versus a drug that's safe, OK? That's going to be administered by a doctor, OK? What am I not getting here?"


There is so much to say about Goldman's new initiative that it has taken front and center stage for me over the nightmare that is unfolding in the markets. For reasons to smile follow the link.
The economic news continues to be horrible and the markets are reacting accordingly. My view continues to be incredibly defensive.


Health charity ASH Scotland has welcomed the support of MSPs for potential legislation to introduce plain, standardised tobacco packaging.
The Scottish Parliament today unanimously agreed a "legislative consent motion" that will allow imminent plain packs legislation by the UK Government to also apply in Scotland.
Westminster will make a final decision on plain packs after a new independent review, due to report by March.
Although the Scottish Government has already committed to introducing plain packs, bringing in the measure through Westminster could speed up the process and provide protection for children throughout the UK.
ASH Scotland has also welcomed assurances that the Scottish Government would not drop its preparations to bring its own legislation on plain packs if necessary.
"We are delighted that the legislative consent motion was given overwhelming support.
"Arguments and evidence against standardised packaging come almost exclusively from those with a financial interest in the sale of tobacco products, and are scientifically flawed.

The number of pre-school age children traveling in cars and school buses is increasing resulting in the requirement for several child care programs.
Just as these little ones need proper security in other vehicles, they need Child Safety Restraint Systems (CSRS) in school buses as well.
The use of Child Safety Restraint Systems including car seats and seat belts has been in debate for quite some time now. If installed properly, these systems keep small children restrained in their seats.
Children must appropriately be tied to their seats so that they are comfortable and safe when traveling to and from school. Certain cars and school buses have factory installed safety restraint systems while others can get them added at a later time.
So, when and why do you think would you need to get safety restraint systems installed on your school bus or car?
Some people oppose the use of safety restraints and there are some valid reasons behind this opposition. The number one reason is injuries from improperly fastened restraints and emergency evacuations.
Furthermore, a concern has been raised with respect to the extra load that is placed on seats with restraints, thereby hampering their performance in situations of a crash.
While these concerns are of value, many districts and states are encouraging the installation of restraint systems on all school buses that transport small children.
The following section helps you to understand how you can correctly secure pre-school children with CSRS and certain other guidelines vital for their proper usage.
There are some basic rules for using CSRS and most of the school authorities make common mistakes that can later lead to accidents and mishaps.
1. The right use of CSRS depends on the child. A child weighing up to 20 lbs and 1 year of age should be rear-facing. When the child weighs over 20 lbs, he/she must be forward-facing.
This makes a lot of difference to the child's comfort as well as their protection. Remember to go through the weight limits mentioned by the manufacturer to be sure of the correct usage.
2. Check the user manual to ensure that installation of the restraint systems is perfect.
The seat must not move for more than 1 inch when pushed sideways or forward. It should be well fastened and gripped with the vehicle's seat.
3. The harness straps must be secured in the right slots. If it is a rear-facing restraint system, use the lower or below the shoulder slots.
If it is a forward-facing system, slots are generally at the top or above the shoulders.
The harness strap must not be left loose or twisted. It must not be tied. It must lie flat and adjusted in a manner that only one finger can be inserted between the child's chest and the straps.
4. An infant must ride rear-facing and semi-reclined. This could be at an angle of approximately 45 degrees from horizontal. The incline is essential to support the head, neck, and back.
Use a tightly rolled towel or a firm foam noodle to give it the right tilt needed for the infant to keep their head comfortably.
Please note that such an inclination also helps the toddler to sleep without losing out on breath or choking.
5. If the belts are too long, adding knots to them to make them shorter is unacceptable. Twisting is also not a good idea since lap belts make all the difference in securing your child to the seat.
The lap belt must be the right length, which means that it should rest off the frame of the child's seat allowing it to remain tight and fastened.
6. The harness-retainer clip, if at all there on your car seat, must be at the level of the child's armpit. In case the clip is in the wrong place, chances that the strap can slide off are high.
The clip and harness strap slots must be thoroughly checked after placing your child for maximum security and protection.
7. According to research, the incorrect installation of the child safety restraint system is quite common.
This is because car owners and school bus owners try to finish the task without taking all kinds of precautions and corrective measures.
Installation must be done with precision following the instructions of the user manual.
In fact, it is a good idea to visit a local car-seat inspection site and get the installation checked before placing your infant or child in the seat.
If you face any challenges with respect to the installation, you can reach out to the car seat manufacturer or take assistance from a local workshop.
Installation tutorial videos are also available online to help you with the right procedure.
Apart from the above-mentioned guidelines, it is important to know and check height restrictions for the car seat you use.
A child's head needs to be at least one inch below the top of the car seat's shell.
Additionally, remember not to install the car seat or booster in the front seat. Your child must be at least 13 years of age before they can start riding on the front seat.
Child Safety Restraint Systems become extremely vital when transporting special need children and very young children such as preschoolers.

This image gallery is a compilation of trail camera pictures captured over several years. The gallery includes pictures of Coues whitetail, elk, mule deer, bear, mountain lion, as well as a few others. Moultrie, Stealth Cam Cuddeback and Primos cameras were used to capture the trail camera pictures. We feel that this gallery includes several images that are cool, unique, comedic and/or showcase a few giant big game animals.
It's true that the use of trail cameras is a polarizing object within the hunting community. However, you can argue that the results — the images captured — are not. Who doesn't enjoy seeing an image of a giant buck or bull, even if it was captured by a trail camera. Regardless of the laws and regulations wrapped around the trail camera, the pictures they capture, highlight the game animals that we — hunters — love to hunt, protect and conserve. If you are a hunter that utilizes trail cameras for scouting purposes, we challenge you to go about it in the most ethical way. Respect the rules, regulations and laws that govern their use in your state, and above all else, respect the property and freedom of others to do so as well. If you do NOT know the governing laws for the state(s) you hunt, we strongly encourage you to research further.
This gallery is intended to represent the wildlife found across the US, as well as the hunting community, in a positive light. If you have trail camera pictures that you believe are unique, fitting this gallery well, please send us with a note with images attached to contact[@]westernwhitetail.com. If we think they it fit well, we'll upload them to the gallery. Until then, please enjoy the images currently in the gallery.


I am not an expert of Drupal, but I am trying to configure a site with Drupal Commerce, and in particular, the PayPal module.
I need the following two patches: https://www.drupal.org/node/2415489 https://www.drupal.org/node/2415501 that, if I understood correctly they are not merged into the paypal module yet.
So, what I did is to manually download the PayPal module, manually apply the patches (unfortunately they conflict each other, so I applied one with the patch command and the other by manually diff the files) and I tar.gz everything.
But if I try to install any other module, it works.
You have to make sure that the temporary directory is configured at admin/config/media/file-system is writable.
In my case /tmp is writable, as per the settings in the screenshot below.

Profile updated 14/01/20
Hello - and welcome! Originally from London, I lived in the Lake District for 20 years and would love to show you around my favourite places. From a walking tour in the footsteps of Beatrix Potter and William Wordsworth to a minibus tour of private homes and gardens - the possibilities are endless!
If you are interested in the Romans, we also have the World Heritage Site of Hadrian's Wall in Cumbria - a fantastic day out for anyone who wants to find out about the 400 years in which they ruled Britain. I now live near the World Heritage Site of Bath where the Roman Baths are a "must-see" for anyone interested in this part of our history.
I love exploring the English countryside and am a walks leader for HF Holidays in my spare time. This takes me to places such as the Cotswolds, Exmoor, Dorset, the South Downs, Cornwall and the Yorkshire Dales. I am also a volunteer garden guide for the National Trust - enabling me to enjoy my passion for gardens whilst giving something back.
My other hobbies include visiting stone circles and prehistoric monuments such as Stonehenge and Avebury and I love visiting churches and cathedrals such as Bath Abbey and the cathedrals of Wells and Salisbury. I am happy to travel some distance just to see stained glass windows from my favourite historical period - the Arts and Crafts Movement of the late 19th Century.
I am a qualified guide for Windsor Castle and the neighbouring town of Eton.
I guide on coaches and minibuses and lead walking tours which can make use of public transport. I love planning itineraries to make the most of your particular interests so if you know you want to visit but aren't sure what to include in your trip, get in touch - I'll be happy to help.
I can guarantee you exceptional service and customer care, coupled with a fun and interesting tour.

Georgian Bath is something special but I equally love the vernacular architecture of the Lake District and the Cotswolds. Both very different but suited to the local stone and environment.
Decorative Arts/Arts & Crafts
Arts and Crafts Movement and Pre-Raphaelites. There are many churches in Cumbria with windows by William Morris and Edward Burne-Jones. There are also local craftsman whose work is equally special.
Farming is a huge part of what makes Cumbria special. The native sheep: Herdwick, Swaledale and Kendal Rough Fell not only impact the environment but the visitor experience.

Overcingel is een 18e-eeuws landgoed in de Nederlandse stad Assen.

Geschiedenis
Johannes van Lier, ontvanger-generaal van Drenthe, bewoonde met zijn gezin het Ontvangershuis in het centrum van Assen.
In 1777 liet hij door architect Abraham Martinus Sorg een nieuw herenhuis bouwen buiten het stadscentrum, aan de andere kant van de Oostersingel. Aan deze ligging dankt het landgoed haar naam Overcingel.

Herman Hubert van Lier, kleinzoon van de stichter, erfde het landgoed in 1823 samen met zijn broer Johannes Henricus Petrus en werd na diens overlijden in 1824 enig eigenaar. Hij liet door tuinarchitect Roodbaard de tuin herinrichten in de Engelse landschapsstijl. Notaris Hendrik van Lier erfde het huis van zijn vader in 1863. Hij was gehuwd met Jentien Carsten. Zij overleden kinderloos, waarna het huis in handen kwam van Hendrik Lels, de oudste zoon van Geesina Carsten, een nicht van Jentien. Voor Hendrik werd bij Koninklijk Besluit in 1902 toestemming verkregen om de naam Van Lier Lels te voeren. Overcingel was tot september 2019 in handen van de familie Van Lier Lels. De familie heeft het landgoed op 2 september 2019 geschonken aan stichting "Het Drentse Landschap".
Het tegenwoordige landgoed is circa 5 hectare groot, oorspronkelijk was het veel groter. In de 19e eeuw strekte het landgoed zich uit van de Rolderstraat tot aan het Oosterhoutje. Onder andere door de aanleg van het spoor, de Stationsstraat en het oude gebouw van het Wilhelmina Ziekenhuis werden delen van het landgoed afgeknabbeld.

Monumenten
Het huis, het toegangshek, de schuur (voormalig koetshuis), een zonnewijzer, een heksenbol en de Chinese koepel in de tuin, zijn alle rijksmonumenten. Het landgoed zelf werd in 1990 door ministerie van landbouw, natuurbeheer en visserij aangewezen als natuurmonument. De tuin is tegen betaling te bezoeken.

It's safe to say our Golden Apple Award winners are popular at their school. They are often a favorite with students, parents, and other teachers. However, sometimes a teacher is a favorite in a much bigger sense. Our January 2018 Golden Apple Winner showed us that a teacher can have an impact that reaches far beyond the classroom.
Our 101st Golden Apple Award winner is Mike Fallon of Martin Elementary School. Mr. Fallon is also the basketball coach at Parkersburg South High School. Mr. Fallon is known for being a great teacher, and a great coach, but he goes far beyond the classroom and the court to help his students. Mr. Fallon, along with his team, and other members of the community, organizes events to help raise money and awareness for two students in the MOV battling illness.
Anna and Hailley were both on hand for the presentation. Also, the Parkersburg South High School boys' basketball team were there, as well as Mr. Fallon's family.
Mr. Fallon's has been very popular. Weeks after the announcement, we continue to receive positive comments about him on our Facebook page.
Congrats Mr. Fallon. You are a deserving winner.

Q: Ios core data not saved I'm using core data and i have a problem. When i save the data and the app is still running i can see and get the data that was saved.
Once the application is close, all the fields deleted and just the object is saved. I can see that in the saveContext method.
On first launch when the app is closing the saveContext method is activated. I can see that the managedObjectContext object is inserting new object.
The next times that the app is opening , the managedObjectContext is updating the object so i know it save the objects but when i try to retrive the object it can find .
here is how i insert objects:

This is how i'm trying to get the data :
  AppDelegate* appDelegate = [UIApplication sharedApplication].delegate;
    //2
    // initializing NSFetchRequest
    NSFetchRequest *fetchRequest = [[NSFetchRequest alloc] init];

    //Setting Entity to be Queried
    NSEntityDescription *entity = [NSEntityDescription entityForName:[UserTable tableName] inManagedObjectContext:appDelegate.managedObjectContext];

    [fetchRequest setEntity:entity];
    NSError* error;

    // Query on managedObjectContext With Generated fetchRequest
    NSArray *fetchedRecords = [appDelegate.managedObjectContext executeFetchRequest:fetchRequest error:&error];
    if (fetchedRecords.count >0) {
        return YES;
    }

    return NO;

A: You must call -[AppDelegate saveContext] after inserting your data in order for CoreData to persist changes to disk. The NSManagedObjectContext will store changes in memory so while your application is still active, you will have access to the data. As soon as the app terminates, however, unless you call -[AppDelegate saveContext] those changes will not be persisted.
Try this in the first example:
AppDelegate *appDelegate  = [UIApplication sharedApplication].delegate;
self.managedObjectContext = appDelegate.managedObjectContext;

@try {
    UserData *userData = [NSEntityDescription insertNewObjectForEntityForName:[UserTable tableName] inManagedObjectContext:self.managedObjectContext];

    //Insert Values
    userData.facebookId=user.id;
    userData.name=user.name;
    userData.picoAccessToken=[PicoApiManager sharedInstance].accessToken;
    userData.picoExpire=[PicoApiManager sharedInstance].expires;
    userData.latitude=[NSNumber numberWithDouble:user.latitude];
    userData.longitude=[NSNumber numberWithDouble:user.longitude];
    userData.pushId=user.pushId;
    userData.isActive=[NSNumber numberWithBool:activeStatus];

} @catch (NSException *exception) {
    NSLog(@"Insert exception - %@", exception.description);
}

// SAVE CONTEXT:
[appDelegate saveContext];

Try this in the second example:
for (Picture *picture in Pictures) {
    // Checks if inserted picture is already inside the table

    AppDelegate* appDelegate  = [UIApplication sharedApplication].delegate;
    self.managedObjectContext = appDelegate.managedObjectContext;

    @try {
        PictureData *pictureData = [NSEntityDescription insertNewObjectForEntityForName:[PicturesTable tableName]inManagedObjectContext:self.managedObjectContext];

        //Insert Values
        pictureData.url=picture.source;
        pictureData.isNew=[NSNumber numberWithBool:YES];
        pictureData.isPick=[NSNumber numberWithBool:NO];
        pictureData.timeTaken=picture.time_taken;
        pictureData.albumData=[self getActiveAlbum];

    } @catch (NSException *exception) {
        NSLog(@"Insert exception - %@", exception.description);
    }
}

// SAVE CONTEXT:
[appDelegate saveContext];

To create a fetch request:
NSFetchRequest *request = [[NSFetchRequest alloc] initWithEntityName:@"YourEntityName"];
request.sortDescriptors = [NSSortDescriptor sortDescriptorWithKey:@"attributeName" ascending:YES];
request.predicate       = [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"attribute == %@", 13];

NSError *error   = nil; //
NSArray *results = [appDelegate.managedObjectContext executeFetchRequest:request error:&error];
if (!results) {
    NSLog(@"Error performing fetch request: %@", error.localizedDescription);
}

return ([results count] > 0); // There are more efficient ways of getting count from CoreData

I've posted a quick add-on for Dynamics Ax 2012 installations that allows an on-screen chart to be generated from any form. This allows the user to quickly build charts like "Balance by customer group", "Sales order totals by month for this year", etc.
Generate a chart from any form by adding a single menu-item reference. Table structure and field metadata is generated automatically and filters are maintained.
Group and measure by any available field or data-method. Joined tables are available.
Copy to clipboard for import into other documents.
Additional aggregate functions (average, min/max, etc).
Any display method can be used for grouping or measures. For example, if you add a display method to SalesTable called "salesOrderTotal", this can be immediately referenced as a measure on the chart. If information is required from a related table (eg customer group name when charting sales order information), you can add another display method to return the required attribute.
If the table contains a field group called ChartFields, then only the fields and methods included in that group will be available in the charting form. Otherwise, all fields and display methods are selectable.
The installation is relatively straightforward but you may need a developer for a couple of steps. If you have any questions or get stuck feel free to post a comment.
1) Unzip the archive, then run the AxSimpleChartSetup installation package.
On the form button control, you'll probably want to set the Big and MultiSelect properties to Yes.
The chart will use the same query as the form you opened it from. If you've multi-selected records, it will be limited to your selection.
Select a group field for the x-Axis, and a measure field for the y-Axis. (NB the axes may be rotated when viewing different chart types). Click Update to refresh the results.
When selecting a date field for the grouping, you have the additional option of aggregating date values by week number, month name, etc. This could be used for example to show total sales by month for a specified date range.
Methods can be specified for grouping and measures, but they must be nominated as a display method. Be mindful that the chart will execute the method for every matching record in the datasource - This could take a significant amount of time depending on the operation.
This download is provided as-is. Feel free to install it and use it as you see fit, but I make no guarantee about it's correctness, performance, honesty, sporting-ability, or otherwise. As always, don't put this or anything else straight into a production environment.

Microsoft Fined for Price Fixing Office Suite
By Tuan An Nguyen 13 April 2009
Microsoft has been slapped with a fine of approximately $11.8 million for price fixing its popular Office Home and Student 2007 suite at a recent retail promotion.
According to Bundeskartellamt, which is an independent federal authority assigned to the Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology in Germany, Microsoft fixed prices on Office at a particularly large retailer which received financial backing from Microsoft.
According to the report:
'The product in question was heavily advertised in the autumn of 2008 in stationary retail outlets. Amongst others, a nationwide active retailer advertised the product with financial support from Microsoft. Even before the launch of the advertising campaign in mid-October 2008, employees of Microsoft and the retailer in question had agreed on at least two occasions on the resale price of the software package 'Office Home & Student 2007'."
Price fixing is becoming a common occurrence with large companies that are able to flex their financial muscles onto their partners and resellers. The practice has been a big problem in the memory business, where companies actually agree with their competition on prices for their products.
Almost without a fight, Microsoft has agreed to pay the fine, saying that it would review its commercial process.
"We will use this case as an opportunity to review our internal commercial processes and ensure that we are in full compliance with German law," said Microsoft spokesman Jack Evans.

M$ deserves it!
eagles453809 14 April 2009 00:24
so...who cares. office isnt going to be sold for 20 bucks. microsoft sells it to the retail outlet. the retail outlet sells it for a little more to make a profit. just because microsoft is the big dog on the block doesnt mean they should be under such scrutiny. christ look at what companies like adobe sell their products for. why aren't they being fined for such insane prices?
Regected 14 April 2009 00:25
So M$ is being fined for forcing the price LOW? Wow, that is really looking out for consumer interests. Next they will go after Open Office for being free.
I mean, come on, this isn't fair to the people that had to pay 100 bucks for office.
paying 20 bucks is a huge rip off for the people that had to pay full price. So m$ deserves it.
falchard 14 April 2009 00:44
OMGs, Microsoft sold software at an affordable price thats actually the common price of said software by its competition. That is detestable and should be fined. Microsofts product is simply too good for its competition at that price with the exception of Open Office.

Hey guys... even though this is last week's news, it seems that many commenters have little idea of WHY they were being sued. I'll admit that this particular writeup is poorly worded, and the ones last week were more insightful.
But... MS wasn't sued for having expensive software. They were sued for telling the retailer what to sell Office for.
In an open market, MS sells Office to the retailer. They can have an MSRP (*Suggested* retail price), from which the retailer can sell it for more or less. If they choose less, then it appears to be "On sale" which makes people think they're getting a bargain (similar to how Kohl's has a 60% off everything sale all the time).
What MS did here is they agreed on the actual retail price. What the conversation probably went like was "Your (retailers) are going to sell this for $XXX, or else you won't sell it at all." With MS, you take it or leave it. And that's what they're in trouble for, breaking the meaning of an open market.
Notice that when you see the same product at different stores / estores for different prices. That's an open market, you can shop around. With MS, it appears that every retailer sells it for the same price. Here we have MS's product being sold at the same price at all the stores. That's not a coincidence.

what about apple, surely they fit in the price fixing category. just check out their prices form store to store, you're lucky to get $50 lower than list. Even discontinued products remain priced at list or close to list.

Mari is one of the latest jewelry collections by SHO London Company. It consists of earrings, pendants, rings and bangles which are made of sterling silver and yellow gold vermeil with the fancy combination of the gems such as amethyst, rhodolite or topaz. The word "Mari" means "the sea" from Sardinian, so Sarah Ho inspired by the water element and its power created the jewelry items expressing all the beauty and fascination which sea gives. As it is known water is the thing on which people can look all the time.
