Deep State Takedown In Progress: Is Trump About To Start Arresting Top Democrats And Bringing Them To Justice?
December 28, 2017 December 28, 2017 by Michael Snyder
When Donald Trump gets hit, he always hits back even harder. So when the deep state decided to conduct a legal witch hunt against President Trump and his family, they should have expected that Trump would return the favor. In recent days, there have been all sorts of rumblings about sealed indictments, pending arrests and a "deep state takedown". Many believe that we are on the verge of seeing some of the most prominent Democrats in the entire nation being arrested and thrown in prison. We shall see how all of this plays out, but in this article I am going to focus on the things that have been confirmed so far.
First of all, let's talk about the documents that are going to be released on Friday. According to Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton, the State Department is scheduled to release 2,800 government documents which were found on Anthony Weiner's laptop…
.@StateDept will publish releasable portions of 2800 government docs that @FBI found on Anthony Weiner laptop tomorrow (Dec. 29th). Again, thanks to @JudicialWatch lawsuits. Will @RealDonaldTrump DOJ finally take action on Clinton/Abedin misdeeds?
Remember, this is just a portion of the documents that were found on his laptop, and the really juicy stuff is almost certainly not going to be found in these government docs.
There are persistent rumors that the really juicy stuff on his laptop contains evidence of sexual misconduct by top Democrats that would far surpass anything that has come out about members of Congress so far. We are potentially talking about the type of stuff that could send people to prison for life, and we need to keep demanding for that material to be released to the public as soon as possible. I understand that there are ongoing investigations that cannot be compromised, but there is no excuse for things to drag on for this long.
But without a doubt, there could potentially be some gamechanging material in the docs that we will get to see tomorrow. The following is what Judicial Watch previously had to say about these documents…
"This is a disturbing development. Our experience with Abedin's emails suggest these Weiner laptop documents will include classified and other sensitive materials," said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. "When will the Justice Department do a serious investigation of Hillary Clinton's and Huma Abedin's obvious violations of law?"
Judicial Watch previously released 20 productions of documents in this case that show examples of mishandling of classified information and instances of pay to play between the Clinton State Department and the Clinton Foundation. Also, at least 627 emails were not part of the 55,000 pages of emails that Clinton turned over, and further contradict a statement by Clinton that, "as far as she knew," all of her government emails had been turned over to department.
Based on just the evidence that we have so far, Hillary Clinton should clearly be going to prison, and let us hope that this latest development will move things in the right direction over at the Department of Justice.
Meanwhile, one of the other pieces of the puzzle that has been confirmed is a very curious executive order that was just issued by President Trump. The following comes from Zero Hedge…
The Trump Administration quietly issued an Executive Order (EO) last Thursday which allows for the freezing of US-housed assets belonging to foreign individuals or entities deemed "serious human rights abusers," along with government officials and executives of foreign corporations (current or former) found to have engaged in corruption – which includes the misappropriation of state assets, the expropriation of private assets for personal gain, and corruption related to government contracts or the extraction of natural resources.
Furthermore, anyone in the United States who aids or participates in said corruption or human rights abuses by foreign parties is subject to frozen assets – along with any U.S. corporation who employs foreigners deemed to have engaged in corruption on behalf of the company.
Many believe that this executive order is directly related to ongoing investigations into corruption within the Democratic Party.
More specifically, the wording of this executive order definitely sounds like it could have been written with Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Tony Podesta and Uranium One in mind. Here is more from Zero Hedge…
Now consider that if reports from The Hill are accurate – an FBI mole deep within the Russian uranium industry uncovered evidence that "Russian nuclear officials had routed millions of dollars to the U.S. designed to benefit former President Bill Clinton's charitable foundation during the time Secretary of State Hillary Clinton served on a government body that provided a favorable decision to Moscow (the Uranium One approval)" – a deal which would eventually grant the Kremlin control over 20 percent of America's uranium supply right around the time Bill Clinton also collected $500,000 for a Moscow speech, as detailed by author Peter Schweitzer's book Clinton Cash and the New York Times in 2015.
A very dangerous game is being played behind the scenes, and I believe that Trump is going to come out the big winner in the end.
Many on the left had been anticipating that 2018 would be the year when Donald Trump is finally taken down, but they will be bitterly disappointed when some of their most cherished heroes end up in shackles instead.
If the elite had not gone after Trump so brutally earlier this year, perhaps he would have been willing to let some things slide. But once Robert Mueller was appointed as special counsel and given an unlimited amount of time, money and resources to dig up dirt on Trump, it was inevitable that Trump would try to find a way to strike back even harder.
We have never seen anything quite like this in the history of American politics, and I have a feeling that 2018 is going to be one of the most "interesting" years ever.

Secret Agenda: Are They Planning To Use 'Russian Interference' As An Excuse To Invalidate Trump's Election Victory?
It has been said that nothing happens by accident in politics, and it is certainly no accident that Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, members of the U.S. Senate and the mainstream media are all suddenly buzzing about "Russian hacking" and "Russian interference" in our elections. Over the past 48 hours, the Washington Post, the New York Times, and just about every other major news source in America has been breathlessly telling us that the CIA has concluded that the Russians "intervened" in the presidential election with the specific goal of helping Donald Trump win. The implication is that if the Russian interference was significant enough, it could have "unfairly" altered the outcome of the election and thus Donald Trump's victory was not legitimate. And if his victory was not legitimate, that opens up all sorts of possibilities for the Democrats.
For those that have been wondering if the establishment was going to attempt to steal the presidency away from Donald Trump before he can be inaugurated, we now appear to have our answer.
There are several ways that this could work, and we'll take it one step at a time.
On Friday, we were suddenly assaulted with all sorts of headlines about how the U.S. intelligence community has concluded that the Russians interfered in the election and that they did so with the intention of helping Trump win. The following example comes from CNBC…
The New York Times reported American intelligence agencies have "high confidence" that Russia intervened in the later stages of the 2016 election to help Trump win the presidency. Senior administration officials said the Russian government gave WikiLeaks emails from the Democratic National Committee, among others including Hillary Clinton's campaign chairman John Podesta. The organizations also found evidence that Russia hacked the Republican National Committee's computer systems, but did not release the information.
More specifically, we are being told that it is the CIA that is the primary source of this "intelligence". Of course the public is not being shown a shred of evidence that the Russians were behind any of this. Instead, we are just being told to trust the "experts" at the CIA…
The CIA has concluded that Russia intervened in the 2016 election specifically to help Donald Trump win the presidency, a U.S. official has confirmed to NPR.
"Before, there was confidence about the fact that Russia interfered," the official says. "But there was low confidence on what the direction and intentionality of the interference was. Now they [the CIA] have come to the conclusion that Russia was trying to tip the election to Trump."
On Sunday, four members of the U.S. Senate came forward to express their concerns about Russian interference. Two of the four were Democrats, and the other two were Republicans that have been some of the most vocal critics of Donald Trump throughout the election season. I don't think that it is any accident that John McCain and Lindsey Graham have chosen to be part of this effort…
"Congress's national security committees have worked diligently to address the complex challenge of cybersecurity, but recent events show that more must be done," said Sens. Chuck Schumer, the incoming Senate Democratic leader, Sen. John McCain, the Armed Services Committee chairman, fellow Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham, and Sen. Jack Reed, the top Armed Services Committee Democrat, in a Sunday morning statement.
"While protecting classified material, we have an obligation to inform the public about recent cyberattacks that have cut to the heart of our free society. Democrats and Republicans must work together, and across the jurisdictional lines of the Congress, to examine these recent incidents thoroughly and devise comprehensive solutions to deter and defend against further cyber-attacks."
And of course this comes on the heels of Barack Obama ordering all of the intelligence agencies under his command to show him any evidence of Russian interference in the election before he leaves office. According to NBC News, he is insisting that this evidence be delivered to him before January 20th…
President Barack Obama has ordered U.S. intelligence agencies to deliver to him a dossier of the evidence that the Russian government used cyber attacks and other means to intervene in the 2016 election, possibly with the idea of making more information public, a senior intelligence official told NBC News.
White House counterterrorism advisor Lisa Monaco told reporters that the results of the report would be shared with lawmakers and others. Obama leaves office on Jan. 20. Monaco used careful language, calling it a "full review of what happened during the 2016 election process."
Incredibly, this review is actually going to be headed up by the infamous James Clapper…
Taking the absurdity to a whole new level, Obama wants the report completed before his term ends on January 20, by none other than a proven and confirmed liar: "The review will be led by James Clapper, the outgoing director of national intelligence, officials said." In other words, the report that the Kremlin stole the election should be prepared by the time Trump is expected to be sworn in.
"We are going to make public as much as we can," the spokesman added. "This is a major priority for the president."
So what is there such an urgency to this?
Couldn't they just begin this review now and have it completed at some point under the Trump administration?
Or could it be possible that they need this information so urgently because they want to use it for political purposes?
Some are already suggesting that if there is "clear evidence" of unfair Russian intervention that the only reasonable outcome would be to hold another election. In fact, former CIA agent Bob Baer just appeared on CNN and stated that if "the evidence is there, I don't see any other way than to vote again."
Could you imagine the uproar if that happened?
Personally, I think that is not likely to happen.
But this issue could be used to try to sway some Electoral College votes on December 19th. We already know that one of Trump's electoral voters has publicly pledged not to vote for him, and he claims that he has other Republican electoral voters that plan on joining him.
But even if Trump successfully gets through the Electoral College vote, he still has one more hurdle to get over.
On January 6th, a joint session of Congress will meet to count the electoral votes. Most of the time this is a formality, but this time around that may not be the case.
If at least one member of the House and at least one member of the Senate submits an objection in writing, electoral votes can potentially be invalidated. The following comes from the official House.gov website…
Since 1887, 3 U.S.C. 15 sets the method for objections to electoral votes. During the Joint Session, Members of Congress may object to individual electoral votes or to state returns as a whole. An objection must be declared in writing and signed by at least one Representative and one Senator. In the case of an objection, the Joint Session recesses and each chamber considers the objection separately in a session which cannot last more than two hours with each Member speaking for no more than five minutes. After each house votes on whether or not to accept the objection, the Joint Session reconvenes and both chambers disclose their decisions. If they agree to the objection, the votes in question are not counted. If either chamber does not agree with the objection, the votes are counted.
So even if Donald Trump receives at least 270 Electoral College votes, he could still be denied the presidency by Congress.
And that may be what the establishment is shooting for. If they can present "compelling evidence" that Russian interference "unfairly" altered the outcome of the election in November, perhaps enough members of Congress can be convinced to vote to invalidate Trump's election victory.
I don't think that is going to happen, but when it comes to Trump the normal rules don't seem to apply.
However, what should be apparent to everyone is that Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and the members of Congress that are suddenly making this such a huge issue all have a reason for doing so. They claim that they are doing it for the good of the country, but in politics there is almost always an ulterior motive for everything.
Do they actually intend to try to steal the presidency from Donald Trump?
If they do, we won't have too long to wait before we find out.

If Donald Trump Wins, He Will Be 70 Years, 7 Months And 7 Days Old On His First Full Day In Office
November 1, 2016 November 1, 2016 by Michael Snyder
A couple of weeks ago, it looked like Hillary Clinton was all set to cruise to victory, but now the FBI has delivered an election miracle in the nick of time. A few of my readers had criticized me for suggesting that Trump might lose, but I don't know who is going to win the election, and so all I had to go on was the cold, hard numbers. And a couple of weeks ago the cold, hard numbers were telling me that Hillary Clinton was going to win. Of course it is entirely possible that the national polls might have been seriously wrong, but even the state polls in the most important battleground states consistently had bad news for Trump. So things didn't look good for Trump at the time, but now that the FBI has renewed their investigation into Hillary Clinton's emails the poll numbers have shifted dramatically in Trump's favor.
As I write this article, the national polls have really tightened up. In fact, the latest ABC News/Washington Post tracking poll puts Trump 1 point ahead of Clinton. Trump has all of the momentum at the moment, but that does not mean that he is going to win. As we have seen already in this race, one day can literally change everything.
And as I noted yesterday, more than 23 million Americans have already voted, and most of that voting was done during a period of time when Hillary Clinton was doing very well in the polls.
So we shall see what happens. But if Trump does win on November 8th, there is a fact about his birthday which will start to get a lot of attention.
Donald Trump was born on June 14th, 1946. If you move ahead 70 years from that date, that brings you to June 14th, 2016. Moving forward another 7 months brings you to January 14th, 2017, and moving forward another 7 days brings you to January 21st, 2017.
And if Donald Trump wins the election, January 21st will be his first full day in office.
Of course Trump would be inaugurated on January 20th, but he would only be president for part of that day.
So that means that Donald Trump would be 70 years, 7 months and 7 days old on his first full day as president of the United States.
And this would happen during year 5777 on the Hebrew calendar.
These amazing "coincidences" were first pointed out on Facebook by a user named Alyson Kelly. Some may take these numbers as a sign that Donald Trump is supposed to become the next president, but I want to make it exceedingly clear that I do not know what is going to happen, nor am I making any sort of prediction about what is going to happen.
I just thought that this information was "interesting" and so I thought that I would share it.
Someone that does believe that Trump is going to win is Glenn Beck. He was been virulently anti-Trump throughout this campaign, but now he is convinced that Clinton will be unable to overcome this new email scandal, and he is calling this renewed investigation by the FBI "the greatest gift given to any candidate of all time in the history of America."
Beck also says that if Clinton wins now it will be evidence that "magic exists", and he is currently projecting that Trump should win the national vote by 5 points…
"Let's just say he was 8 points, that was fair to say, 8 points behind last week," Beck said, according to a transcript posted on his website. "He should win by 5 points."
Beck later added: "How can the next president face a possible collapsing economy, possible war with Russia, and a current war with ISIS? Oh, and also, be under FBI investigation and indictment? Can't. Can't."
The conservative personality called the latest FBI revelation "the greatest gift given to any candidate of all time in the history of America" and added that if Clinton still managed to win, it would be akin to proof "magic exists."
Hopefully Glenn Beck is right, because none of us should want to see Hillary Clinton in the White House.
She is the most evil, corrupt and scandal-ridden politician of this generation, and I can't understand how any American in their right mind could possibly vote for her.
And the hits just keep on coming. Wikileaks has just released an email in which John Podesta told Clinton "fixer" Cheryl Mills that they were "going to have to dump all those emails so better to do so sooner than later"…
It was not entirely clear what Podesta meant by that phrase, but it could potentially be smoking gun evidence of obstruction of justice.
Back in 2008, Barack Obama was new, intriguing and mysterious. We didn't know a lot about him, and so one can almost understand how the American people could have been fooled by him.
But in 2016, Americans know more about Hillary Clinton than they have ever known about any candidate in modern American history.
The Clintons have a history of crimes and scandals that goes all the way back to the 1980s, but about half the country is choosing to ignore all of that history and vote for her anyway.
I believe that this election is America's final exam. Originally there were 17 Republicans and 5 Democrats running for the presidency. When you throw in the major third party candidates, that brings us to a total of approximately 25 people that the American public could have chosen from.
If the American people willingly choose the most wicked candidate out of all of them after everything that has been revealed, I don't think that anyone will be able to say that we don't deserve the bitter consequences that follow that decision.
The time for talking is almost over, and shortly we shall find out which path the American people have chosen.
If that choice turns out to be Hillary Clinton after everything that we have seen during this election cycle, I truly believe that we will have reached the point of no return as a nation.

Thank You FBI: The Clinton Email Investigation Has Shifted The Poll Numbers Significantly In Trump's Favor
October 31, 2016 October 31, 2016 by Michael Snyder
Donald Trump has all the momentum now. Will it be enough to propel him to victory on election day? Trump's poll numbers were improving even before we learned that the FBI had renewed its investigation into Hillary Clinton's emails, and the new survey results that came out over the weekend and on Monday make it clear that Clinton's "certain victory" is not so certain after all. Unless something changes, Americans are going to go to the polls on November 8th with an FBI criminal investigation hanging over the Clinton campaign like an ominous cloud, and that is very good news for Trump.
The Clinton campaign was hoping that this renewed investigation would not "move the needle", but unfortunately for them that appears not to be the case. Hillary's unfavorable rating just hit an all-time high, a whopping 45 percent of all Americans believe that this scandal is "worse than Watergate", and a Rasmussen survey has found that 40 percent of all undecided voters that are leaning toward voting for Hillary Clinton are still open to changing their minds before election day.
And even before this story broke on Friday, Clinton was having a difficult time getting her voters to the polls. According to the New York Times, early voting among young adults and African-American voters is significantly down compared to 2012, and those are demographic groups that Clinton desperately needs to turn out in large numbers.
But of course the key to winning the election is getting to 270 electoral votes, and poll numbers appear to be shifting in the key swing states that Trump and Clinton both desperately need. For a moment, I would like to examine what the numbers currently look like in some of the most important states…
Without Florida, Donald Trump has absolutely no chance of winning. This is something that even the Trump campaign has admitted. That is why it was so alarming that most of the polls in October had Hillary Clinton leading in the state.
Fortunately for Trump, a new survey that was conducted on Sunday shows him leading in Florida by four points.
Georgia wasn't supposed to be a problem. Georgia has traditionally been a deep red state, but polling throughout this election season had shown a very tight race. This had Republicans deeply concerned and the Clinton camp very happy.
But now the momentum has seemingly shifted and the latest poll has Trump up by seven points.
Mitt Romney won North Carolina in 2012, and Donald Trump very much needs to win it if he hopes to be triumphant on November 8th. Hillary Clinton was shown to be leading in the eight most recent polls before the email story broke, but in the first major survey conducted afterwards she is now down by two points.
No Republican has ever won the presidency without Ohio, and Trump knows how important it is to his chances. The three most recent polls conducted before the FBI renewed the investigation into Hillary Clinton's emails all showed a tie, but now the very first survey conducted afterwards shows Trump up by five points.
Hillary Clinton has consistently been in the lead in Colorado throughout this campaign, and most experts didn't give Trump much of a chance in the state, but the latest survey shows that Clinton's lead has been whittled down to just one point.
A survey that was conducted in mid-October showed Clinton having a five point lead in John McCain's home state, but now the latest major poll has Trump up by two points.
One of the most important swing states out west is Nevada, and most surveys showed Hillary Clinton with a strong lead throughout the month of October. Unfortunately for her, a poll that was conducted on Sunday shows Donald Trump with a four point lead.
Clearly Trump has the momentum at this point, and it will be very interesting to see how the numbers change over the next few days.
And as we learn more about what is in these newly discovered emails, will her fellow Democrats stick with her? Already, some are publicly wavering. The following example comes from WND…
Longtime Clinton confidante and former Democratic pollster Doug Schoen told Fox News the newly renewed FBI investigation into Hillary Clinton's private email server is forcing him to "reassess" his support for the Democratic nominee for president.
Schoen, a Fox News contributor, made the comments to host Harris Faulkner during a live television appearance Sunday night on "Fox Report Weekend."
Public opinion is shifting quickly, but the bad news for Trump is that more than 23 million Americans have already voted. So millions upon millions of Americans cast their votes before they even learned of this new FBI investigation. If the race is very close, that could end up making the difference.
And of course the race could dramatically change once again if the FBI comes to some sort of resolution about these new emails prior to November 8th. On Monday, CNN reported that a resolution before election day did not appear to be likely…
FBI officials are unlikely to finish their review of new emails potentially related to its investigation into Hillary Clinton's private server before the November 8 election.
The initial work of cataloging top Clinton aide Huma Abedin's emails found on her estranged husband Anthony Weiner's laptop could be done in the next few days, US law enforcement officials told CNN.
But the investigators are expected to spend more time doing other work, including likely working with other federal agencies to determine what — if any — classified materials are in the emails. This makes it unlikely there will be a resolution prior to the election.
However, late on Monday evening the Drudge Report reported that the L.A. Times has learned that investigators may have a "preliminary assessment" completed "in coming days"…
LA TIMES TUESDAY: FBI Investigators had planned to conduct new email review over several weeks. It now hopes to complete 'preliminary assessment' in coming days, but agency officials have not decided how, or whether, they will disclose results publicly… Developing…
Whether good or bad, I do believe that the American people deserve to hear something conclusive about these emails before November 8th.
If nothing is found to implicate Clinton, the American people should be told that.
And if evidence of very serious crimes is discovered, there is no way in the world that should be held back until after the election.
Even if it throws the election into complete and utter chaos, the American people deserve to know the truth.
But will we get it?
Stay tuned, because I think that this is going to be a crazy week.
If Hillary Clinton Is Charged With Obstruction Of Justice She Could Go To Prison For 20 Years
In the world of politics, the cover-up is often worse than the original crime. It was his role in the Watergate cover-up that took down Richard Nixon, and now Hillary Clinton's cover-up of her email scandal could send her to prison for a very, very long time. When news broke that the FBI has renewed its investigation into Hillary Clinton's emails, it sent shockwaves throughout the political world. But this time around, we aren't just talking about an investigation into the mishandling of classified documents. I haven't heard anyone talking about this, but if the FBI discovers that Hillary Clinton altered, destroyed or concealed any emails that should have been turned over to the FBI during the original investigation, she could be charged with obstruction of justice. That would immediately end her political career, and if she was found guilty it could send her to prison for the rest of her life.
I have not seen a single news report mention the phrase "obstruction of justice" yet, but I am convinced that there is a very good chance that this is where this scandal is heading. The following is the relevant part of the federal statute that deals with obstruction of justice…
Whoever knowingly alters, destroys, mutilates, conceals, covers up, falsified, or makes a false entry in any record, document, or tangible object with the intent to impede, obstruct, or influence the investigation or proper administration of any matter within the jurisdiction of any department or agency of the United States or any case filed under Title 11, or in relation to or contemplation of any such matter or case, shall be fined under this title, imprisoned not more than 20 years, or both.
If Hillary Clinton is sent to prison for 20 years, that would essentially be for the rest of her life.
I have a feeling that the FBI is going to find a great deal of evidence of obstruction of justice in Huma Abedin's emails. But unfortunately there is not likely to be a resolution to this matter before November 8th, because according to the Wall Street Journal there are approximately 650,000 emails to search through…
As federal agents prepare to scour roughly 650,000 emails to see how many relate to a prior probe of Hillary Clinton's email use, the surprise disclosure that investigators were pursuing the potential new evidence lays bare building tensions inside the bureau and the Justice Department over how to investigate the Democratic presidential nominee.
Metadata found on the laptop used by former Rep. Anthony Weiner and his estranged wife Huma Abedin, a close Clinton aide, suggests there may be thousands of emails sent to or from the private server that Mrs. Clinton used while she was secretary of state, according to people familiar with the matter. It will take weeks, at a minimum, to determine whether those messages are work-related from the time Ms. Abedin served with Mrs. Clinton at the State Department; how many are duplicates of emails already reviewed by the Federal Bureau of Investigation; and whether they include either classified information or important new evidence in the Clinton email probe.
Of those 650,000 emails, an inside source told Fox News that "at least 10,000" would be of interest to the investigation.
At this point, FBI officials have not even begun searching through the emails, because a search warrant has not been secured yet. The following comes from CNN…
Government lawyers haven't yet approached Abedin's lawyers to seek an agreement to conduct the search. Sources earlier told CNN that those discussions had begun, but the law enforcement officials now say they have not.
Either way, government lawyers plan to seek a search warrant from a judge to conduct the search of the computer, the law enforcement officials said.
But the FBI is reportedly already searching a laptop that was co-owned by Anthony Weiner and Huma Abedin, and no warrant was necessary for that search because Weiner is cooperating with the FBI.
Many have been wondering why FBI Director James Comey would choose to make such a bold move just over a week until election day. Surely he had to know that this would have a dramatic impact on the election, and it is unlikely that he would have done so unless someone had already found something really big. In addition, Comey was reportedly eager to find an opportunity to redeem himself in the eyes of his peers at the FBI. The following is an excerpt from a Daily Mail article that was written by Ed Klein, the author of a recently released New York Times bestseller about the Clintons entitled "Guilty As Sin"…
'The atmosphere at the FBI has been toxic ever since Jim announced last July that he wouldn't recommend an indictment against Hillary,' said the source, a close friend who has known Comey for nearly two decades, shares family outings with him, and accompanies him to Catholic mass every week.
'Some people, including department heads, stopped talking to Jim, and even ignored his greetings when they passed him in the hall,' said the source. 'They felt that he betrayed them and brought disgrace on the bureau by letting Hillary off with a slap on the wrist.'
According to the source, Comey fretted over the problem for months and discussed it at great length with his wife, Patrice.
He told his wife that he was depressed by the stack of resignation letters piling up on his desk from disaffected agents. The letters reminded him every day that morale in the FBI had hit rock bottom.
In the most likely scenario, the FBI will not have time to complete the investigation and decide whether or not to charge Hillary Clinton before the election. This means that we would go into November 8th with this scandal hanging over the Clinton campaign, and that would seem to be very good news for Donald Trump.
However, it is possible that once the FBI starts searching through these emails that they could come to the conclusion very rapidly that charges against Clinton are warranted, and if that happens we could still see some sort of announcement before election day.
In the unlikely event that does happen, we could actually see Hillary Clinton forced out of the race before November 8th.
Once again, this appears to be very unlikely at this point, but it is still possible.
If Clinton was forced to step aside, the Democrats would need to come up with a new nominee, and that process would take time. In an article later today on The Most Important News I will reveal who I believe that nominee would be.
In such a scenario, the Democrats would desperately need time to get their act together, and so we could actually see Barack Obama attempt to delay or suspend the election. The legality of such a move is highly questionable, but Barack Obama has not allowed a little thing like the U.S. Constitution to stop him in the past.
This week is going to be exceedingly interesting – that is for sure.
The craziest election in modern American history just keeps getting crazier, and I have a feeling that even more twists and turns are ahead.
It sure seems ironic that Anthony Weiner is playing such a central role this late in the story, and I can't wait to see what is in store for the season finale.

Will Barack Obama Delay Or Suspend The Election If Hillary Is Forced Out By The New FBI Email Investigation?
Just when it looked like Hillary Clinton was poised to win the 2016 election, the FBI has thrown a gamechanger into the mix. On Friday, FBI Director James Comey announced that his agency has discovered new emails related to Hillary Clinton's mishandling of classified information that they had not previously seen. According to the Associated Press, the newly discovered emails "did not come from her private server", but instead were found when the FBI started going through electronic devices that belonged to top Clinton aide Huma Abedin and her husband Anthony Weiner. The FBI has been looking into messages of a sexual nature that Weiner had exchanged with a 15-year-old girl in North Carolina, and that is why they originally seized those electronic devices. According to the Washington Post, the "emails were found on a computer used jointly by both Weiner and his wife, top Clinton aide Huma Abedin, according to a person with knowledge of the inquiry", and according to some reports there may be "potentially thousands" of emails on the computer that the FBI did not have access to previously. Even though there are less than two weeks to go until election day, this scandal has the potential to possibly force Clinton out of the race, and if that happens could Barack Obama delay or suspend the election until a replacement candidate can be found?
Let's take this one step at a time. On Friday, financial markets tanked when reports of these new Clinton emails hit the wires. The following comes from CNN…
After recommending earlier this year that the Department of Justice not press charges against the former secretary of state, Comey said in a letter to eight congressional committee chairmen that investigators are examining newly discovered emails that "appear to be pertinent" to the email probe.
"In connection with an unrelated case, the FBI has learned of the existence of emails that appear pertinent to the investigation," Comey wrote the chairmen. "I am writing to inform you that the investigative team briefed me on this yesterday, and I agreed that the FBI should take appropriate investigative steps designed to allow investigators to review these emails to determine whether they contain classified information, as well as to assess their importance to our investigation."
At this point, we do not know what is contained in these emails. But without a doubt Huma Abedin is Hillary Clinton's closest confidant, and I have always felt that she was Clinton's Achilles heel. Journalist Carl Bernstein (of Watergate fame) is fully convinced that the FBI would have never made this move unless something significant had already been discovered…
We don't know what this means yet except that it's a real bombshell. And it is unthinkable that the Director of the FBI would take this action lightly, that he would put this letter forth to the Congress of the United States saying there is more information out there about classified e-mails and call it to the attention of congress unless it was something requiring serious investigation. So that's where we are…
Is it a certainty that we won't learn before the election? I'm not sure it's a certainty we won't learn before the election.
One thing is, it's possible that Hillary Clinton might want to on her own initiative talk to the FBI and find out what she can, and if she chooses to let the American people know what she thinks or knows is going on. People need to hear from her…
If the FBI has indeed found something explosive, would they actually charge her with a crime right before the election?
It is possible, but we also have to remember that government agencies (including the FBI) tend to move very, very slowly. If there are thousands of emails, it is going to take quite a while to sift through them all. And of course Barack Obama has lots of ways that he could influence, delay or even shut down the investigation.
So those that are counting on this to be the miracle that Donald Trump needs should not count their chickens before they hatch.
But if Hillary Clinton were to be forced out of the race by this FBI investigation, the Democrats would have to decide on a new candidate, and that would take time. The following is from a U.S. News & World Report article that examined what would happen if one of the candidates was forced out of the race for some reason…
If Clinton were to fall off the ticket, Democratic National Committee members would gather to vote on a replacement. DNC members acted as superdelegates during this year's primary and overwhelmingly backed Clinton over boat-rocking socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont.
DNC spokesman Mark Paustenbach says there currently are 445 committee members – a number that changes over time and is guided by the group's bylaws, which give membership to specific officeholders and party leaders and hold 200 spots for selection by states, along with an optional 75 slots DNC members can choose to fill.
But the party rules for replacing a presidential nominee merely specify that a majority of members must be present at a special meeting called by the committee chairman. The meeting would follow procedures set by the DNC Rules and Bylaws Committee and proxy voting would not be allowed.
It would be extremely challenging to get a majority of the members of the Democratic National Committee together on such short notice. If Clinton were to drop out next week, it would be almost impossible for this to happen before election day.
In such a scenario, Barack Obama may attempt to invoke his emergency powers. Since the election would not be "fair" until the Democrats have a new candidate, he could try to delay or suspend the election. There would be a lot of controversy as to whether this is legal or not, but Barack Obama has not let the U.S. Constitution stop him in the past.
Meanwhile, new poll numbers show that the Trump campaign was already gaining momentum even before this story about the new emails broke. According to a brand new ABC News/Washington Post survey, Donald Trump is now only trailing Hillary Clinton by 4 points after trailing her by as much as 12 points last weekend.
And CNBC is reporting on a highly advanced artificial intelligence system that accurately predicted the outcomes of the presidential primaries and which is now indicating that Trump will be the winner in November…
An artificial intelligence system that correctly predicted the last three U.S. presidential elections puts Republican nominee Donald Trump ahead of Democrat rival Hillary Clinton in the race for the White House.
MogIA was developed by Sanjiv Rai, founder of Indian start-up Genic.ai. It takes in 20 million data points from public platforms including Google, Facebook, Twitter and YouTube in the U.S. and then analyzes the information to create predictions.
The AI system was created in 2004, so it has been getting smarter all the time. It had already correctly predicted the results of the Democratic and Republican Primaries.
Without Hillary at the top of the ticket, the odds of a Trump victory would go way, way up.
So if Hillary is forced out of the race by this investigation, Barack Obama and the Democrats will want to delay or suspend the election for as long as possible if they can.
At this point there is probably not a high probability that such a scenario will play out, but in this crazy election year we have already seen that just about anything can happen.

Apostate Evangelicals Are Poised To Become The Deciding Factor In A Hillary Clinton Election Victory
If you look at the numbers, there is no way that Hillary Clinton could possibly win the election without the support of a substantial percentage of evangelical Christian voters. In fact, if evangelical Christians stuck together they could pretty much elect whoever they want as president. According to the Pew Research Center, 35 percent of all adults in the United States identify themselves as "evangelical" or "born again", and it has been estimated that there are 94 million evangelical Christian adults in this country. If evangelical Christians acted as a single voting block they could determine the outcome of every single presidential election. Unfortunately, that simply is not going to happen.
A survey that was recently conducted by LifeWay Research found that only 45 percent of Christian evangelicals plan to vote for Donald Trump and 31 percent of Christian evangelicals plan to vote for Hillary Clinton.
That same survey discovered that moral issues are becoming increasingly unimportant to evangelical voters…
Overall, the economy is the top concern for Americans regardless of religious affiliation (30%). National security (17%) and personal character (17%) also are significant issues. Supreme Court nominees (10%), immigration (5%), religious freedom (2%), and abortion (1%) are less important.
"For churchgoers and those with evangelical beliefs, their pocketbook and personal safety are paramount," said McConnell. "Moral issues aren't a priority for many of them."
I don't know how in the world abortion could come in at only 1 percent. Even if you add "Supreme Court nominees" and abortion together, you still only get a total of 11 percent.
This just shows that evangelicals in America have their priorities way out of order.
And unfortunately for Donald Trump, he is getting a lot less support from evangelicals than other recent presidential candidates received. According to the New York Times, previous candidates have generally received about 80 percent support from white evangelical voters, but Donald Trump is only getting about 65 to 70 percent support, and his numbers among non-white evangelicals are absolutely dismal.
If you are an evangelical Christian and you have reservations about Donald Trump, I can respect that. But there will be other names on the ballot and you do not have to vote for Hillary Clinton. As I have said before, a vote for Hillary Clinton is an act of unmitigated wickedness.
Hillary Clinton has made support for abortion one of the central pillars of her long political career. In fact, I don't know if there is any politician in America that is more associated with abortion than Hillary Clinton. Since Roe v. Wade was decided in 1973, more than 58 million babies have been murdered in the United States, and Hillary Clinton's hands are drenched with their blood.
If you vote for Hillary Clinton, your hands will be drenched with their blood too.
Needless to say, I am absolutely horrified that so many prominent evangelical leaders have come out in support of Hillary Clinton during this election season. For example, a group that represents over 6,000 Latino evangelical churches has just announced that they are endorsing Hillary Clinton…
An organization representing more than 6,000 Latino evangelical churches in the U.S. is endorsing Hillary Clinton over Donald Trump.
In a statement Thursday, the group OPEN USA says Clinton has proven her willingness to engage in difficult conversations, listen to contrasting opinions and engage faith leaders.
Meanwhile, 75 evangelical leaders recently signed a petition on Change.org that strongly denounces Donald Trump…
We, undersigned evangelicals, simply will not tolerate the racial, religious, and gender bigotry that Donald Trump has consistently and deliberately fueled, no matter how else we choose to vote or not to vote.
One of the truly alarming trends that we have been seeing this election season is the number of prominent women in the evangelical movement that are openly rejecting Donald Trump and embracing Hillary Clinton. The following is a short excerpt from a recent Washington Post article that examined this phenomenon…
When Jen Hatmaker speaks to stadiums full of Christian women, she regales them with stories about her five children and her garden back in Austin, Tex. — and stays away from politics. But recently she took to Facebook and Instagram to blast Donald J. Trump as a "national disgrace," and remind her legions of followers that there are other names on the ballot in November.
And Christianity Today recently published an editorial from one of the top female evangelical leaders in the entire country in which she publicly endorsed Hillary Clinton. According to Christianity Today, Deborah Fikes is "the former Permanent Representative to the United Nations for World Evangelical Alliance, which represents a constituency of 650 million with alliance offices in 129 countries." Fikes says that she stepped down from some of her leadership positions so that she could openly advocate for Clinton…
My recent resignations from evangelical leadership positions to endorse Hillary Clinton speaks volumes of how important I believe it is that she is elected in November. The toxic tone and atmosphere that surrounds Mr. Trump and is fueled among his supporters has done irreparable damage to not only our country and the future of the GOP but also to the public witness of evangelicals in America who are seen as some of his biggest supporters.
There is no question in my mind or spirit that with the overwhelming challenges the next American president will face, Hillary Clinton is the most qualified person who has ever run for the Oval Office. On the issues of our national security, economic stability, seeing that healthcare reform continues to move forward, and tackling domestic challenges of poverty, inequality, and racism, we need her to be the person occupying this office.
A lot of these women seem to think that abortion shouldn't be a major issue in this election, but that is like saying that the Holocaust shouldn't have been a major issue in Nazi Germany.
Look, you don't have to vote for Donald Trump or anyone else to be a good Christian.
But if you cast a vote for Hillary Clinton, you are casting a vote for the most evil, wicked and corrupt politician that this nation has possibly ever seen, and you are publicly endorsing the sinful positions that she is proud to stand for.
I know that I have been writing about the election a lot lately, but I feel that it is very important that I do so. Most of the media coverage has focused on Donald Trump, but I feel that this election is far more about Hillary Clinton. The things that her and her husband have done have been well documented, and if the American people willingly choose her they will know exactly what they are doing.
Unfortunately, not even Christians are standing united against the Clintons. The political divide in the evangelical Christian world has grown so deep that it has even reached Liberty University. The following comes from the Atlantic…
That's why it was such a big deal when, two weeks ago, a group of Liberty students put out a letter explaining why they're standing against the Republican presidential nominee. Jerry Falwell Jr., who has run the school since his father died in 2007, announced his support for Donald Trump back in January, and he has since spoken on the candidate's behalf in interviews and at events. "We are Liberty students who are disappointed with President Falwell's endorsement and are tired of being associated with one of the worst presidential candidates in American history," the students wrote. "Donald Trump does not represent our values and we want nothing to do with him."
Thousands of people signed onto the letter, including, the students said, roughly 2,000 students or alumni with liberty.edu email addresses. Dustin Wahl and Alex Forbes, two of the letter's authors, were featured on MSNBC and CNN. They said they received supportive emails and tweets from Russell Moore, the head of the political arm of the Southern Baptist Convention, and Erick Erickson, the conservative radio-show host.
And the support for Clinton is particularly strong among young adult evangelicals. When I read the following paragraph on the website of the New York Times, I was absolutely astounded…
Kate Shellnutt, 30, the online editor of Christianity Today and editor of the CT Women section, said she had observed that "the millennial generation has a lot less patience for Trump." Of the 33 influential millennial evangelicals she profiled for a cover story two years ago, she says she can now find only one, Lila Rose, who is pro-Trump, and even she has been publicly critical of him. Several have been using the hashtag #NeverTrump, Ms. Shellnutt said.
The frightening thing is that this election might be the last chance for evangelical Christians to shape the political direction of this nation, because the truth is that demographics are rapidly shifting, and this includes the demographics of the evangelical community…
As Robert Jones has expertly documented in his recent book The End of White Christian America, the number of older, conservative, white male evangelicals is shrinking each year. Meanwhile, the number of younger evangelicals of all ethnic backgrounds — whose moral and political views extend far beyond positions on gay marriage and abortion — is on the rise.
If you follow my work regularly, then you already know that I have very little hope for the future of America.
But if Hillary Clinton is elected, there will be exactly zero hope.
If evangelical Christians stood united, they could stop her, but at this point it appears that is not going to happen.

Q: Project Euler 14th crashes I'm trying to solve project Euler questions and on the 14th question when i compile it the exe keeps on crashing. Here is my code
#include <iostream>
#include <cmath>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
    int counter_array[1000000];
    int array_key=0;
    for(int x=1;x<=1000000;x++)
    {
        int y=x;
        int z=1;
        int counter=0;
        while(z==1)
        {
            if((y%2)==0 && y>1)
            {
                y=y/2;
            }
            else
            {
                if((y%2)!=0 && y>1)
                {
                    y=(3*y)+1;
                }
                else
                {
                    z=2;
                }
            }
            counter++;
            counter_array[array_key]={counter};
            array_key++;
        }
    }
    int temp=0;
    int pos=0;
    for(int i=0; i<1000000;i++)
    {
        if(counter_array[i]>temp)
        {
            temp=counter_array[i];
            pos=i;
        }
    }
    cout << pos << "----->"<<temp << endl;
}

I don't know what went wrong.
Please forgive me for my mistakes I'm really new at this .

A: your going out of bounds by 1 on your array, but i doubt that the real issue, I think this line is the problem:
int counter_array[1000000];

Many system wont let you allocated an array on the stack like that.
ok, you have a second major problem with:
    counter_array[array_key]=   counter;
    array_key++;

given it places in the inner loop, arraykey will get incremented many times per iteration of the for loop, and will thus exceed the size of the array easily.
I am guessing here, but move the array decl into global space. Then move the above two lines to after the while loop (which will be safer, but may not do what you want I haven't checked).

Healing, in its concrete sense of restoring or curing the sick or disabled, and even raising the dead, is one of the major themes in the narratives of Jesus. In a more general sense, healing could be equated to salvation through grace in Christ. It is the same for the Chinese cultural and philosophical tradition: healing is a metaphor for human spiritual growth; at the same time it is also understood as the concrete bodily cure by some metaphysical power through certain cultural-spiritual exercises. Therefore, the question of how to integrate the rich resources of the healing narrative in Confucian tradition, especially the Neo-Confucianism from the Song to Ming Dynasties (roughly 10th–17th centuries), into the Christian spirituality of healing in China, is important for the development of an indigenized Chinese theology. This essay will explore two inspirations from Neo-Confucian resources—namely, healing as an interpenetration between body and soul, and healing in and through Scripture reading—to sketch an intercultural spirituality of healing for ecumenical Christians.
From its earliest beginnings, the Western anthropological tradition manifested a strong tendency to separate body and soul. Within the general Western cultural network, the anthropology of Christian theology has also been influenced by this distinction. The patristic theologians, for example, St. Augustine, understood salvation as a Platonic liberation of soul from the body. The medieval theologians followed the Aristotelian framework that the body is formed by the soul, even as modern European theology, dominated by the dualism of Descartes, believed that the body is an instrument of the soul in need of being disciplined by the conscious mind. Along these main streams of Christian tradition, the body enjoyed little significance in considerations of salvation, even if the word "salvation" originally in Greek means "to make well or whole" in its full sense.
Against this theological tendency, some 19th-century revivalists developed a more comprehensive understanding of the healing aspects of Christ's salvation in their evangelical preaching. According to one of these renowned representatives, Albert Simpson, a Christ-centered "fourfold" gospel included the forgiveness of sins, the purification of the heart, the redemption of the body, and the future resurrection and eternal life.1 Arguably, this inclusive understanding is more in accord with the beliefs and practices regarding illness, health, and healing reflected in the Hebrew religion and New Testament writings. But the separation between the body and soul is still there, and in many Christian circles these are still regarded as two distinctive entities. How the healing of the Trinitarian God entails psychosomatic or mind-body interactivity is still in need of further elaboration.
What is being proposed here is that the gospel of mind-bodily healing in Christ finds a rich cultural resource in the Chinese context. Starting from the axial age in China, the dominant tradition has understood the human being as constituted by a single nature with interactive spiritual and bodily dimensions. As the Sage Mencius (孟子, 372–289 BC) famously articulated: "The essentials of the Noble Man's character are humaneness, fairness, propriety, and wisdom, which are rooted in his mind. When they show themselves in his external appearance, their luster can be seen in his face, their fullness can be seen in his back, and go out into his four limbs. The four limbs reveal this without speaking" (仁义礼智根于心。其生色也,睟然见于面,盎于背, 施于四体,四体不言而喻).2 Furthermore, this psychosomatic understanding of human beings was not limited to Confucianism, but was a general cultural feature for all Chinese philosophical schools.
When it came to the period from the Song to Ming Dynasties, mainstream Neo-Confucianism began to syncretize the three religions of Confucianism, Daoism, and Buddhism. As a late Confucian, Mao Xinglai (茅星来, 1678–1748) concluded, "The Neo-Confucians did not want anymore to take knowing exhaustively the Scriptures and imitating the ancients as their priority, but mainly searching the truth psychosomatically with their body and soul" (程朱之学者,但求之身心性 命之间,不复以通经学古为事).3 For them, the purpose of philosophical inquiry is not for acquiring cognitive knowledge, which they despised as "little knowledge," but for achieving a psychosomatic cure or healing, so that the soul and body come into harmony and peace with the "ultimate principle" of the universe.
1. The soul talks to the body. The Confucian Scripture, Great Learning, states: "Virtue makes a person shine; when the mind expands, the body is enriched. Therefore the Superior Man must make his will sincere."5 The Neo-Confucians were enthusiastic in elaborating this classic text. For example, Xu Heng (许衡,1209–1281) interpreted it as follows: Those virtuous persons are upright in their hearts and therefore their bodies could be natural and comfortable; that is why virtues can enrich the body.6 The general principle upheld by Neo-Confucians is that a healthy body involves cultivation of the virtues of the heart.
3. This achieves union between the whole person and heaven. Once the body and soul are interpenetrated with each other, then the union with heaven, the highest spiritual goal for Neo-Confucians, is achieved in and through the whole person. That is the reason why Neo-Confucians always use the metaphor of "one body with heaven and earth" (与天地万 物为一体) as the highest spiritual realization of the perfect human. According to Wang Yangming (王阳明, 1472–1529), the perfect human is not a spiritual and disembodied human in heaven but is constituted by sensitive bodily feelings with all creatures.
In the Christian tradition, especially in the patristic and medieval periods, reading the Bible has been an important practice and integral activity through which human beings receive their healing in Christ.11 For the faithful, the Bible is the Word of God. The Word of which the Bible is testifying is also the creative Word by which God created the world in the beginning. The faithful take the bread of life from the Bible, because in the Bible, believers find their nourishment and strength. In and through sacred Scripture, the Father who is in heaven comes lovingly to meet his children and talks with them.12 Probably the most widely known and practiced Bible-reading tradition, lectio divina, has been praised as transformative, energizing, and divinizing.13 These questions then arise for Chinese believers and theologians: Are there indigenous resources, particularly in Neo-Confucianism, that discuss healing as occurring in the reading of sacred texts? If so, how could these be integrated into the Christian spirituality of healing through Bible reading in China?
In fact, Scripture reading is always a psychosomatic activity for Neo-Confucians. As Zhu writes: "The way of learning is getting knowledge by the mind and practicing it on the body."17 Only by practicing the text unto oneself could the aim of Scripture reading—namely to change or heal the body and mind—be fulfilled.
Having investigated the psychosomatic healing of the whole person in reading the sacred texts in Neo-Confucianism, we can see how it could help to build a Christian spirituality of healing by Bible reading that is rooted in Chinese culture. This understands Bible reading not as an intellectual activity of learning historical facts or wise precepts, but as an encounter with the living principle of the universe: to read the Bible is to take the bread of life, drink the living water, and take the medicine that cures; to read the Bible is to enter a doorway to the transformation of the ill person; to read the Bible is to embark on a journey of healing of both mind and body; to read the Bible is to open up the whole person to union with the ultimate principle. All these could become basic elements of a Chinese Christian spirituality of healing that grows out of the rich cultural soil of Neo-Confucianism.

Judge rules that U.S. government can't force WeChat off app stores
By Georgina Torbet	 September 20, 2020
TikTok is not the only Chinese app to have been saved from a ban at the last minute this weekend: WeChat won't be banned from app stores tomorrow either.
A judge in California has blocked the Trump administration from forcing either Apple or Google to remove the WeChat apps from their app stores, Reuters reports. The judge, U.S. Magistrate Judge Laurel Beeler, said that a ban would cause hardship and that forcing it would "burden substantially more speech than is necessary to serve the government's significant interest in national security, especially given the lack of substitute channels for communication."
Beeler acknowledged that there may be significant national security concerns around Chinese-owned apps, but she also said that there was little evidence that WeChat specifically was a problem, or that banning WeChat in the U.S. would help that situation.
The U.S. Department of Commerce announced the move to ban TikTok and WeChat from U.S. app stores on Friday, after weeks of threats about banning the apps entirely. This is part of a months-long saga of President Donald Trump's acrimony toward China being played out in the arena of popular mobile apps.
The lawsuit against the ban was brought by a group of Chinese-American lawyers who argued that the attempt to ban WeChat was unconstitutional and violated the right to free speech. Many Chinese-Americans rely on WeChat to talk to friends and family in China, and banning this app would undoubtedly hit Chinese-Americans the hardest.
For now, the app should continue to be available in U.S. app stores.

Google pushes Android 11 Beta with new user and developer centric features
NewsAndroid
By Anand Narayanaswamy	 On Jun 11, 2020
Google has unveiled Android 11 Beta including a series of developer updates. The search-engine giant has released the latest updates for developers from Kotlin coroutines, JetPack Compose Toolkit, refreshed Android Studio, and an enhanced experience for the Play Console. According to Google, the developers have been providing feedback on the Android 11 developer previews since February. The team has released the first beta of Android 11 based on three core themes such as People, Controls, and Privacy.
Android 11 has been designed with a people-centric, expressive manner. The new platform will completely change the way we interact with others via conversations. The key is to build an OS that can easily recognize and prioritize the important people in your life. Some of the important features included with People theme are conversation notifications, bubbles, consolidated keyboard suggestions, and voice access.
The Conversation notifications will be displayed in a dedicated section at the top of the shade. Google has termed the design as people-forward. You will be able to open the conversation as a bubble including the ability to create a conversation shortcut on the home screen. The Bubbles features included with Android 11 enable you to retain conversations in view and accessible while multitasking. The Messaging and chat apps should make use of Bubbles API on notifications to activate this feature in Android 11.
The Consolidated keyboard suggestions automatically populate context-specific entities and strings via Autofill apps and Input Method. The Android 11 has introduced voice access, which will be useful for those users who would like to control the smartphone by voice. The voice access ships with an on-device visual cortex that is capable of understanding screen content and context. It also generates labels and access points for accessibility commands.
With the help of Android 11, you can control and manage all of your smart devices in one single dashboard. The Device Controls enables you to access and control connected devices quickly and easily. You just need to long-press the power button to bring up the device controls instantly in one single destination. Google added that apps can make use of a new API to make them visible in the controls.
With the help of Media Controls, you can easily switch the output device for displaying the audio or video content. It could be headphones, speakers, and other accessories. You can activate the option from Developer Options and will be enabled by default in the Android 11 beta release.
With the help of Android 11, you will be able to exercise control over sensitive permissions and to keep devices more secure via faster updates. The one-time permission enables users to give an app access to a microphone, camera, or location for one time. The app will request permission again until the next time the user works with the app. The Android 11 will automatically reset all the runtime permissions associated with the app if you haven't used an app for an extended time.
The app will prompt for the permissions the next time the app is used. Google has given more time for the developers to make significant changes to the background location in their apps until 2021. The Google Play System Updates provides a facility for expediting updates of Core OS components to devices in the Android ecosystem. Google has doubled the number of updatable modules with 12 new modules for improving privacy, security, and consistency for not only users but also developers.
Android 11 also brings in significant new features for developers including Android Studio. Going forward, developers will be able to build quality Android apps without any difficulty. The Android 11 beta will receive several new iterations based on the feedback. The final release is expected in August 2020.

Q: Why is my case statement not returning the value in my "else" clause? I have this section of code and my ELSE is not working. It should return 'UNKNOWN' but I am still seeing NULLs in my results. What is going on?
      case
            when t2.NEURO_GRP_2 is not NULL then t2.NEURO_GRP_1 --ASSIGN GROUP 2 BASED ON PRIMARY DX CODE
            when t2.NEURO_GRP_2 is null AND t6.NEURO_GRP_2 IS NOT NULL then t6.NEURO_GRP_2 --ASSIGN GROUP 2 BASED ON CLINIC
            when t2.NEURO_GRP_2 is null AND t6.NEURO_GRP_2 IS NULL then t3.NEURO_GRP_3 --ASSIGN GROUP 2 BASED ON PROCEDURE GROUP
            ELSE 'UNKNOWN'
            end AS NEURO_GRP_2,

A: It really looks like coalesce() does what you intend:
coalesce(t2.NEURO_GRP_2, t6.NEURO_GRP_2, t3.NEURO_GRP_3, 'UNKNOWN') S NEURO_GRP_2

The problem with your original code probably is that:

*

*there is a mismatch in the first condition (you check the nullity of one column, but return another one)

*the conditions are somehow redondant, and not properly cascaded
You might have been meaning:
case
    when t2.NEURO_GRP_2 IS NOT NULL then t2.NEURO_GRP_2
    when t6.NEURO_GRP_2 IS NOT NULL then t6.NEURO_GRP_2
    when t3.NEURO_GRP_3 IS NOT NULL then t3.NEURO_GRP_3
    else 'UNKNOWN'
end AS NEURO_GRP_2

... Which is exactly what coalesce() does.

A: Perhaps you want coalesce():
coalesce(t2.NEURO_GRP_2, t6.NEURO_GRP_2, t3.NEURO_GRP_3, 'UNKNOWN')

This returns the first non-NULL value.  As formulated with a constant as the last argument, it can never return NULL.

Narbut's illustration to Kotliarevsky's Aeneid
HeorhiyNarbut,UkrainianMasterofGraphics
Heorhiy Narbut (1886–1920) is one of the most prominent Ukrainian graphic artists and illustrators of the first half of the 20th century.
Photo: NARBUT XXI
Narbut founded the Ukrainian font school. He designed the coat of arms and seal for the Ukrainian state, popularized Trident as the national emblem, and also designed money for Ukrainian governments…
100 hryvnia and 500 hryvnia banknotes, designed by Heorhiy Narbut
He was obsessed with heraldry. Narbut explored and designed coats. One of Narbut's most famous font works is the Ukrainian Alphabet, which became a pattern of Ukrainian graphics. Currently, his fonts are used by graphic designers all around the world.
Ukraine's large coat of arms, the project by Heorhiy Narbut
In his Kyiv period, Narbut had a huge goal – rekindle the glory of books in general, raise the printers' skills, create not only art but also a national-Ukrainian book, develop a new font, and enlighten the public through art. And he succeeded. Narbut was the first in Ukraine to proclaim the principles of the architectural construction of the book as an integral art product…
Modern Narbut Abetka font, its digital version was created by Hennadii Zarechiuk
Narbut adored Ukrainian folk art, enthusiastically studied ancient folk engravings, and loved to paint ancient architecture. Baroque and classical architectural elements of cathedrals, churches, and palaces, typical for Ukraine, play an essential role in his illustrations…
Narbut absorbed a lot of old art, old books, re-modernized this heritage in his own way and created a new, modern language based on this art.

Reproducing his style on this basis, Narbut encouraged his best followers to develop a national style of all Ukrainian book graphics.
The extraordinary, bright Narbut was a magnet of artistic Kyiv of the early twentieth century. With his devotion to art, he attracted talented and creative people. And this was and still remains Narbut's force.

Better Than Bacon: King Crab from Dirk's
I once spent an entire day during the summer sitting on my couch watching an entire season ofDeadliest Catch, the reality show about crab fisherman. The chain smoking of boat captain Phil Harris of the crab boat Cornelia Marie (which continued in the midst of a pulmonary embolism) and the dysfunctional feuding of the brothers Hillstrand on the Time Bandit were such an engaging spectacle, it hardly mattered that there was also the threat that at any moment some fisherman might get beamed in the head by a thousand pound crab pot or sucked in the Bering Sea to his icy death by an errant rope (allegedly fatality among crab fisherman is 90 times the fatality rate of the average worker).
Though I would never have the fortitude to join those dudes, I envied them, for they had unfettered access to my number one desert island food: fresh Alaskan King Crab. Fresh Alaskan King crab has lush plump flesh and an inherent butteriness that might make you think twice about even dipping it in any additional melted fat. I think it's better than foie, bacon, lobster, and maybe even truffles (I have a debate raging in my head on that count).
When to Get It
You may think you've had it, but odds are you never have. To preserve a dwindling population, quotas and a somewhat fixed fishing season were established in Alaska to ensure the future of the crab. As such, all fishing for Alaskan King Crab takes place during a relatively small window starting in early October and ending, in a good year, toward the end of December. The other nine months of the year, everyone is pretty much selling you flash frozen crab. If you're lucky, that crab hasn't been doctored with preservatives like sodium tri-polyphosphate, as is often the case with Alaskan King Crab found at major megachains and discount big box retailers, which make the texture mushy and waterlogged.
Where to Get It in Chicago
Even in season, many restaurants and retailers continue to sell frozen crab and don't bother establishing relationships with the fisherman to ensure never frozen catch. As such, you'll still have a tough time finding it. In the Chicago area, you can score it at Bob Chinn's (which will serve you a whole live King Crab if you're willing to throw down the $120 or so), Shaw's Crab House, and Joe's Stone Crab. Shaw's will even ship it to you at home in five pound increments.
My favorite, and only local Chicago retailer of the stuff I know of, is Dirk's Fish in Lincoln Park. Right now, fishmonger Dirk Fucik is getting the stuff flown fresh out of Alaska every Thursday. It's usually gone by Saturday evening, and you have to wait another four days to get a fix, so call ahead. It's so good that were I rich I'd use it to replace holiday game birds, and urge Obama to pardon all the turkeys and make this the new national Thanksgiving dish.

THE MICA QUESTION
FuchsiaTHE ORLANDO SENTINEL
Alot of head-scratching took place when U.S. Rep. John Mica broke ranks with virtually every other member of Florida's congressional delegation to support oil and natural-gas drilling 100 miles off Florida's coast.
Why would he do such a thing? If there is one issue that most Floridians support -- regardless of their political affiliation -- it is a ban on oil-and-gas-drilling operations off the coast of Florida. Even some of Rep. Mica's Republican brethren were perplexed.
Well, the state's lobbyist registration log may provide a potential answer. David L. Mica, the congressman's brother, is a registered lobbyist for the Florida Petroleum Council, an umbrella organization representing gas and oil interests in the state. Go figure.
The congressman, of course, pooh-poohs any suggestion of a conflict. He says that he long has advocated oil drilling in some of Florida's most environmentally sensitive areas -- including the Florida Everglades. And his position has nothing to do with his brother's employment.
Not that the congressman's familial ties to the oil and gas industry have hurt. The congressman acknowledged, for example, that he has contacted his brother's office for "statistics" on offshore-drilling operations. That information bolstered his belief that Florida must contribute to the nation's energy shortage. And if that entails offshore drilling operations 100 miles off Florida's coast, so be it.
Fortunately, Gov. Jeb Bush and Florida's entire congressional delegation disagree with Rep. Mica's tar-ball-colored view of the world. They, like most Floridians, understand how wholly dependent Florida is on its $50 billion-a-year tourism industry. That's not the case in neighboring states, such as Alabama, Louisiana and Texas, which never cultivated robust tourism activities and instead encouraged offshore oil and gas exploration.
Florida Rep. Randy Johnson, for example, remembers visiting Texas beaches while in Navy flight-training school in Corpus Christi. The Texas shore "constantly had plastic debris and tar washing up on the beach," he recalled. "You couldn't go on the beach and get back in your own car without alcohol swabs to clean your feet off."
Is that what Rep. Mica has in mind for Florida's future?
Yes, an oil spill is remote. And technology has improved over the years. But Florida can't afford to take that risk, no matter how remote. Gulf currents run west to east. So any disaster, no matter how slight, could cripple the state's economy. Plus, there's only enough oil and gas in the proposed drilling area off Florida's to satiate the nation's energy needs for two or three months -- in a best-case scenario.
A solution to the nation's energy woes clearly does not lie off Florida's western shore. Nor will it be found in statistics supplied by oil and gas interests. Floridians understand that. When will Rep. Mica?

This project required the significant alteration of the top floor of a nineteenth century loft building in lower Manhattan. An existing wood frame roof was removed and a two story 7,200 SF addition was added. The major volume, a two-story living/dining space behind the existing marble facade, connects the two levels spatially. The organization of the plan attempts to recreate some of the hierarchies of private and public domestic space associated with the better prewar residential buildings in Manhattan. The detailing – the extensive use of paneling, for example – is reminiscent of the work of architects such as Jean Michel Frank, Adolf Loos, and Bruno Paul.
