Silverdraw is realtime white board that can sync information between various participants, using Silverlight + WCF Polling Duplex. Presently this is a just a POC implementation. Users can draw together in the white board, and may chat each other. Here is a quick screen shot of the client running in two different browsers. These are the steps to start.
Server - A WCF service with a polling duplex end point for clients to register, to publish information, and to receive notifications.
Client - A Silverlight client that consumes the end point to register the user, to publish the user's drawing, and to receive and plot the drawing data from other users.
Register - A client may call this to register itself to a conversation.
NotifyClients - From the Draw method, we'll invoke NotifyClients to iterate the registered clients, to publish the data.
Also, as we are using Polling Duplex, we need a callback interface too - so that the server can 'call back' or notify the clients. (In Polling Duplex, you may need to note that what is happening is not actually a direct callback from server to client. The client should poll the server periodically over HTTP to fetch any possible information that the server is willing to pass to the client, to simulate a callback.) Anyway, our 'call back' service interface (IDuplexDrawCallback) has a Notify method, for the server to notify the rest of the clients when some client calls the Draw method.
So, in short - a party may publish some information using 'Draw', and others can subscribe to the published information. This is a simple implementation of the Publisher/Subscriber pattern.
The client will try to connect to the service end point.
If success, the client will register itself with the client, by calling the Register method, and by passing the username.
The client will hook up a few event handlers in the proxy. Mainly, the NotifyCompleted event. NotifyCompleted will be fired each time you receive a callback from the server.
Inside the Register method, the server will grab the client's session ID and callback channel from the current operation context, and add it to a list.
Whenever a client submits information by calling 'Draw', the server will pump this information by iterating each registered client, and by calling their 'Notify' method.

Girls to be eligible for Boy Scout program next month
by City News Service • February 1, 2019
LOS ANGELES – Girls will be able to be part of what was known as the Boy Scout program next month.
The organization's governing body, Boy Scouts of America, announced last year that girls ages 11-17 would be allowed to join the Boy Scout program which was rebranded as Scouts BSA.
Troops will be single-gender and meet independently. Numerous troops have already formed in anticipation for the launch of Scouts BSA, including units in Lancaster, Palmdale and Quartz Hill.
"The experiences and skills that Scouting provides are incredibly valuable to all youth — not just boys," said Troop 2019 adult volunteer leader Jessica Pazdernik. "I'm honored to help offer this opportunity to the girls and young women in our community."
Future Scout Alexis Shrewsbury said she "can't wait to go camping, earn merit badges and go on adventures with my friends."
Some of the girls who plan to join Troop 2019 are coming from the BSA's Cub Scout program, which opened to girls ages 5-10 last year. Since then, more than 77,000 girls have joined the program, but the troop is also seeing interest from girls who would be joining a BSA program for the first time.
"When I heard it would be possible for me to join Scouting and work to become an Eagle Scout, I knew I had to find a Scouts BSA troop to join," Anna Fineberg said. "I can't wait for our troop's adventures. This is something I have been excited to do for a long time."
Girls and families who are interested in learning more about Scouts BSA can find a unit near them by visiting BeAScout.org.

WHAT WE NEED TO DO IS DEPORT MELANIA TRUMP SHES IN NOT EVEN AMERICAN AND PLUS SHE WAS A INTERRACIAL PORN STAR IN RUSSIA WHAT A SHAME SHE NEEDS TO GO BACK TO HER COUNTRY.
VXSGuy says
There are Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts. Boys should able to be Boys and Girls should be able to be Girls. This is a worse scenario waiting to happen. I just don't understand why a girl wants to be around a lot of adolescent young boys as they are starting puberty. This isn't Democrats or Republicans. This is Parenting making a bad choice.
Ignacio P. says
John Connor says
Men, boys, can't have anything to ourselves
Smarty Pants says
Circle jerks are still allowed in the privacy of your homes!
If their going to be single gender troops, then why not just call them Boy Scouts or Girl Scouts?
Fed up with PC says
So will the Girl Scouts allow boys into their ranks? Doesn't Girl Scouts having outing similar to the Boy Scouts? Doesn't the Girl Scouts have outdoor activities for them? Why not ask the Girls Scouts to change their program to match the interest of the girls.
Laughing says
Here is a great article on the whys of the decision.
To me it makes sense to bolster the ranks. Also many Scouts go on to join the military. That place where men and women receive the same training.
Human is human. Strive to be the best one you can be.
Did you read about the rise in sexual assaults at military academies? Human is human, and boys will be boys, as some men define this stain.
Are you implying that Scouts would act the same as dumb adults just because they are blended together? (Gotta keep 'em seperated!)
To your comment. I wonder how many scouts go on to join the military. That place where men and women receive the same training, and too many of the men are sexually assaulting the women receiving the same training. What's really going on here where even boys (17), and even younger are violating women? It's on the rise.
Yes. In the article it states "Troops will be single-gender and meet independently."
Bri says
Ridiculous! Why does everything have to be so PC? Stop bringing politics into EVERYTHING! Especially something as innocent as the Scouts.
The Scouts says
How about keep Boy Scouts just for boys and young men, and Girl Scouts for girls, and improving the Girl Scouts training, offer more areas of study. Not everything in this world has to be available to everyone.
Vivian Wilson says
How about calling this organization Scouts of America.


The world of television is getting redefined with the advent of HD or High Definition TVs. There are television sets available in the market belonging to various categories such as Plasma, LED, and LCD TV. The electronic market is flooded with feature rich ultra thin, affordable and very light weight feature packed cheap TV sets. Now a days the most popular categories among consumers are the LCD and LED televisions. These products have revolutionised the world of entertainment with their superior quality performance. The HD technology has gone a step further to enhance the level of their performance.
The liquid crystal display televisions or LCD TV with HD technology offer the most clear and crisp images. Sets with high definition come with a higher resolution display. These offer a better pixel resolution as compared to the standard sets. Today movies, television programs, video games, and online videos enhanced by this latest high definition technology are released but to enjoy pictures enhanced by this latest enjoy you need to watch them on a HD TV. The picture quality produced by these televisions is excellent and the models come with very thin designs.
HD powered LED TV produces crystal clear images with excellent sound quality with the help of OLED which stands for Organic Light-Emitting Diode. OLED technology helps in mixing different intensities of blue, green and red light to colour their pixels. The screen of the television then uses thin films of these organic molecules to create those sparkling images.
Both LCD and LED TVs produce brighter, crisper images by consuming very less energy. The reason behind this is the organic pixels that create light themselves other than the standard conventional television sets which require backlight to produce bright images. The lights are emitted by the diodes which are the major source of light in these TVs.
High definition television sets does not require the user to tune the channels of their sets for images with crystal clear resolution. As compared to the normal CRT or Cathode Ray Tube televisions, the high definition televisionsuses digital television signals that subdue the bandwidth due to the amazing effects of the digital video compression.
If you are also looking to buy a new television set, HD TVs are good option as these provide you high quality television watching experience. There are various attractive deals available on the latest models which make these televisions affordable and easy to buy.


I FINALLY ordered my Christmas cards at the end of last week, and I am anxiously awaiting their arrival. I planned to write this post in November, but a lot of you may know that November threw me for a loop this year. SOOO, my cards are on order at my favorite Black River Imaging, but I wanted to share the template with all of you out there, in case you're anxious to get your cards ordered! I chose a bit of a larger size folded card (standard seems to be 5×7) and got a 5.5×8.5 size. For this card, you order right on that link (call Black River Imaging to get set up, first, and they can answer any questions you may have).
Our MAIN picture is a new and fun surprise for everyone, which will be revealed in time, but most of the rest inside the folded card and back of the card, are from our London Family Pictures taken in July. The picture I inserted below is from our Christmas Tree Farm Family Photos last year.
I'm excited to offer these templates because I've got them in a few different color options!
I chose a folded card, so the front/back template is designed for that (it's what you see above). If you just want a flat card, you can select the design you want (and you don't have to flip the image upside down for the 2 window holes).
On the INSIDE of folded cards, I love to share a bunch of pictures. I've got two options for you on the inside, a LOT of photo spots, or just a "bunch." Yes, there is a difference…ha ha!
Pick and choose! You can really change the colors to any you want, but it's been made easy for you to just select the color layer you'd like.
These templates are photoshop .psd files, so if you don't have photoshop, they won't work–sorry! If you do have photoshop, but not the greatest at it, I've got step by step instructions for you, so we will both cross our fingers!! Within EACH document, are multiple color options. Click on the layers to choose your color way. My actual Christmas card is blue, yellow, and green, but for my sample here, I chose the white and red and green colors.
If you are new to photoshop and using layers, here are some steps!
Download the card files. ***You will need Photoshop to create your own version of this card. Note – there are two inside options – one with less picture options and one with more. You only need to download the version you want to use.
Double click the zipped file to unzip.
You will see the 4 different background color options. Delete the backgrounds layers you don't wish to use. (i.e., if you pick Yellow, delete the other three). To delete, drag the layer to the trash can icon or right click and select "delete layer".
Be sure to update the "LOVE" layer to say your family's name using the type tool.
Move the "Merry Christmas" layer as needed over your selected picture.
Open the pictures you wish to use in the card in Photoshop. With the image open, select all by hitting CTRL+A (Mac is Command not CTRL) and then copy CTRL+C.
Then click back over to the Christmas Card template file.
In the "layers" menu, select the "ADD PHOTOS ON NEW LAYERS" layer already on the template. Then hit CTRL+SHIFT+N to create a new layer.
Then you will need to use the arrow tool and resize your image to fit in the intended opening of the template. If any of the image overlaps over another photo, just use the eraser tool to erase the overlap.
Repeat these steps to insert your images into all of the openings on separate layers.
Be sure that you rotate your images 180 degrees for the two back pictures. They need to be upside down in the final .jpg since this card folds. When it is folded, the images will be right side up on the back.
When it is finished, Save a copy of the .psd file. Then also go to "file" and "save as" and select .jpg to save a .jpg version of the file.
Do this for both the Front & Back design as well as the Inside design you selected. You will have two final .jpg files ready to upload.
Be sure to make the following selections – Orientation = Horizontal; Style=Tent Fold; Upload Format=Full Spread. The rest of the selections will be what you prefer.
Follow the prompts to upload both your saved Front & Back file as well as your Inside file.
You will then have a preview of the file that will show the crop and fold ares. These .psd files are designed with that in mind so everything will fit nicely.
Continue through Black River's site to order your cards.

After bouncing between Junior A and the WHL's Regina Pats
Versatility, simplicity name of game for Mortlock
Defenceman/forward hoping hard work earns him opportunity after coming to Kootenay Ice camp from Regina Pats
Sep. 2, 2015 11:00 a.m.
Nathyn Mortlock is hoping a versatile and simple approach to the game will give him a shot at cracking the Kootenay Ice.
The 19-year-old native of Medicine Hat, Alta., is plying his trade at Kootenay Ice training camp this week after spending part of last season with the Regina Pats.
Mortlock, who is listed as both a forward and defenceman, is hoping versatility and simplicity provide the key to a permanent place in the Western Hockey League.
"It's always good for the coaching staff to have options," Mortlock said after scrimmaging Wednesday morning at Western Financial Place. "If you can play every position, that looks better. I think it's a little bit of an advantage being able to play both."
While, Mortlock won't be playing every position — goaltender is a little bit outside of his realm — he's most comfortable on the blue-line and has spent training camp anchoring the right point.
Only four regular defencemen from last season's contingent stand fair odds at returning to the Ice blue-line.
Rinat Valiev is expected to turn pro, while Tanner Faith and Tanner Lishchynsky, along with an injured Tyler King, represent a trio of 20-year-olds hoping to scrape out an overage spot.
An overage battle rages on with six players in competition — including goaltender Wyatt Hoflin and forwards Jon Martin and Luke Philp, not to mention the fact forward Jaedon Descheneau is still eligible to return from the St. Louis Blues.
With all that in mind, nothing is guaranteed for this year's 20-year-old crew.
That leaves Troy Murray (1997), Cale Fleury (1998), Bryan Allbee (1997) and Dylan Overdyk (1997) the remaining veterans vying for ice time.
At the end of the day, a veteran presence like Mortlock might not be a bad thing should one of the 20-year-olds not stick.
The 6-foot-1, 183-pound Mortlock has 35 games of WHL experience, including 28 contests at the end of the 2014-15 campaign with the Regina Pats.
To top it off, he worked his way into eight playoff games with the Pats, and by all accounts, was reliable and serviceable.
"We made a pretty good playoff run [in Regina]," Mortlock said. "We lost to a pretty good team in Brandon, but other than that, I was pretty happy with the way I played.
"It is a good experience playing junior hockey. You learn a lot just being committed and working hard."
Outside of his time in Regina, Mortlock spent 20 games with the Melville Millionaires of the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League.
According to Jeff Chynoweth, president and general manager of the Kootenay Ice, Mortlock became available after he was released by the Pats following the 2015 WHL Bantam Draft.
This fall, the versatile junior veteran has his eye on a permanent place in the WHL after being invited to Cranbrook by Garnet Kazuik, director of scouting for the Ice.
"I'm just focusing on myself and playing the best that I can, showing the coaching staff what I can bring to the team," Mortlock said. "I'm trying to just keep it simple and not do too much out there. Hopefully, if I play the way I do, I have a shot at making this team."
Kootenay Ice training camp concludes Thursday at 6 p.m. with the annual United Way Intrasquad Game at Western Financial Place.
Notes: The WHL has announced it will be moving to a three-on-three, five-minute overtime period following any regulation tie during the 2015-16 season. The change was made from a five-minute, four-on-four overtime period in an effort to eliminate the number of shootout decisions. The change aligns with overtime rule changes made by the National Hockey League earlier this off-season.

Q: Is there a way to rename my migration file without causing problems? I named one of my migration files add_slug_to_users where I meant to name it add_slug_to_posts. Not a big deal but it is misleading for someone else who is looking at my code.
I tried to rename it but the next time I ran php artisan migrate I got an error:
[Symfony\Component\Debug\Exception\FatalErrorException] Class 'AddSlugToPosts' not found

Is there a way to rename this file or am I stuck? I am using Laravel version 5.2.45.

I Tang Dynasty (caratteri cinesi: 唐朝; pinyin: Táng Cháo) sono un gruppo rock/metal cinese. Sono considerati il primo gruppo heavy metal della Repubblica Popolare Cinese.

Storia
I Tang Dynasty pubblicarono il loro primo album, A Dream Return to Tang Dynasty, nel 1992, e grazie ad esso ebbero la possibilità di essere conosciuti dal pubblico. L'album vendette ufficialmente 2.000.000 di copie autentiche in Asia e all'estero, senza contare la moltitudine di copie pirata. Il sound dell'album è un mix di rock progressivo, art metal e tecniche vocali tradizionali cinesi, con testi poetici ed arrangiamenti musicali intesi come una volontà di ritornare ai gloriosi giorni dell'antica civiltà cinese; in particolar modo, all'arte ed ai modelli culturali rappresentati dall'era della dinastia Tang.

Nel 1991, i Tang Dynasty hanno pubblicato una versione metal/rock della canzone The Internationale in Chinese, la versione originale della quale era stata scelta come inno del PCC alle origini.

L'11 maggio 1995, il bassista Zhang Ju morì in un incidente stradale, mentre tornava a casa con la sua moto. L'incidente è avvenuto sul cavalcavia Zizhuqiao della superstrada che passa nella zona occidentale di Pechino, quando la moto di Zhang Ju è stata travolta da un tir. In seguito a questo evento, Gu Zhong divenne bassista dei Tang Dynasty, ma nell'agosto dello stesso anno Liu Yijun lasciò la band. A gennaio del 1996, l'ex-membro fondatore Kaiser Kuo si riunì al gruppo come chitarrista.

Nel 1998 la band pubblicò il suo secondo album, Epic, a sette anni di distanza da quello di debutto.

Alla fine degli anni '90, Kuo lasciò nuovamente i Tang Dynasty e formò un altro gruppo conosciuto nell'ambiente alternativo cinese, gli Spring and Autumn (春秋 Chunqiu). Fu rimpiazzato inizialmente da Yu Yang, ex-frontman di un gruppo di nome Iron Kite, e successivamente dal giovane Chen Lei, alla fine del 2000. Dopo alcuni cambi di line-up minori, finalmente nel 2002 si riunì al gruppo l'ex-membro Lao Wu.

A metà del 2008, i Tang Dynasty pubblicarono il loro terzo album, Knight of Romantic (浪漫骑士, Langman Qishi), il cui singolo principale era intitolato Feng Shan Ji. La band è apparsa anche nel documentario canadese dello stesso anno Global Metal, ideato dall'antropologo Sam Dunn e diretto dal regista Scot McFayden.

A gennaio del 2009, Lao Wu annunciò che avrebbe lasciato nuovamente il gruppo per motivi personali. Il suo posto nel gruppo è stato momentaneamente preso dal vocalist Ding Wu. A febbraio del 2010, lo stesso Ding Wu ha annunciato che il gruppo stava lavorando ad un quarto album, che tuttavia non è stato ancora pubblicato.

WHAT IS IMAGINACIÓN POST-MARÍA?
The widespread devastation caused by Hurricane María has shed light to the deeply-rooted flaws of Puerto Rico's hierarchical and non-participatory government system. The centralization of power and lack of accessibility to funds has not only trumped the arrival of much needed services across the island, but has also denied citizens the opportunity to actively participate in the processes of recuperating their own communities.
We envision a Puerto Rico where every community has the opportunity to take charge of their own future. We hope to decentralize the management of resources by developing new participatory governance models that give citizens direct power to imagine, plan and build the changes they desire for their communities.
Combining community planning with the power of microfinance and capacity-building, we propose a community resiliency approach that enables citizens to imagine the future they desire and collaboratively implement a project that reflects their needs and hopes.
Nestled in the lush, mountainous region of Comerío, the colorful and quaint neighborhood of Vuelta del Dos in Palomas Bajo is home to hundreds of families that suffered severe losses during Hurricane María. Led by the grassroots organizations Defend Puerto Rico and Coco D'Oro, La Maraña has collaborated in work brigades and arts workshops as part of short-term relief efforts after the hurricane.
The historically black and industrial community of San Antón, is home to Patio Taller - a backyard transformed by artists Lydela and Michel Nonó into a platform of artistic resistence, sustainable agriculture and alternative schooling. Also at the forefront of community efforts, members are currently organizing to ensure just public education in their community as the government shut down the community's sole public school.
The rural community of Mariana is one of the living examples of what Puerto Rican communities can achieve amidst our failed governmental response. Renaming their community center the Proyecto de Apoyo Mutuo Mariana, community leaders came together to establish a communal kitchen (which served 350 meals daily for three months after María) and set up an off-grid wifi and solar energy hub as darkness reigned.

WHAT IS OUR
LONG-TERM VISION?

We propose implementing our participatory community recovery model in 3 diverse and contrasting geographies within the island, specifically in urban, rural, and eastern landscapes. This diversity will allow us to constrast our findings and establish distinct case studies, so as to further develop, enhance and measure our model as a replicable solution for long-term crisis management.

Speed wasn't changed for v12.
You still need a medic for fully healing you, and remember your stamina sticks to zero if you're not healed. This will just make their life easier while keeping their role crucial in the squad.
That's something some of us deeply want too. It should happen some day but cant say when atm.
Are there any actual examples from the past (from any game) where mods indeed did split communities and kinda killed the game ? What Ive seen in the past were popular mods attracting new players, while the vanilla game's community kept existing. But Ive never seen any mod splitting a community which then stopped existing because of that.
Restraining HAB even more is probably not a good idea given how rare they can already be.
Lone wolves are alone, so by definition there shouldn't be anyone able to revive them.
What Im saying is attackers who just captured the flag wont have a minute to breath before the first counter attack is happening. Coordination and communication isn't always perfect as players aren't all veterans and don't necessarly play together regularly (and that's the point of Squad), so planning next actions if you can't have a break and isn't trusted by other SL is very stressful and decisions are rarely efficient nor approved by other squads, which leads to stalemate.
But once attackers finally captured the point they gotta face incessant attacks from previous defenders who also got rallys in the area. So they have no other choice but camping too if they don't want to lose their newly captured flag. In the end the whole game took place around this lonely flag.
It's a bug and should be fixed in a patch.
The respawn time is supposed to get longer as the hab gets surrounded by enemies, but this is not happening anymore because of a bug that was recently found. Hopefully it'll get fixed soon.
Sadly not, but we'll look into this. Remember crouching and looking up can make it work sometimes.
I believe focus is affected by the stamina. So if you're aiming and focusing while your stamina is very low, you should get a bit of sway.
How is the optimisation in v10?
Defending can only be done by camping I think. And if the players tend to defend more than before, it should help the rounds to last longer, and that's what we want. If you're afraid noone ever attacks, be sure the average player will refuse to sit and defend a flag for more than one hour, because it's simply too boring. Therefore, the attacks will always happen.

Parkway Baptist Church is voluntarily affiliated with the Southern Baptist Convention. Below you can read a basic summary of our core beliefs. For more detailed explanation of these and many other areas, please read the Baptist Faith and Message.
There is one and only one living and true God. He is an intelligent, spiritual, and personal Being, the Creator, Redeemer, Preserver, and Ruler of the universe. The eternal triune God reveals Himself to us as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, with distinct personal attributes, but without division of nature, essence, or being.
The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God, fully divine. He exalts Christ. He convicts men of sin, of righteousness, and of judgment. He calls men to the Savior, and effects regeneration.
Man is the special creation of God, made in His own image. He created them male and female as the crowning work of His creation. The gift of gender is thus part of the goodness of God's creation. In the beginning man was innocent of sin and was endowed by his Creator with freedom of choice. By his free choice man sinned against God and brought sin into the human race. Through the temptation of Satan man transgressed the command of God, and fell from his original innocence whereby his posterity inherit a nature and an environment inclined toward sin. Therefore, as soon as they are capable of moral action, they become transgressors and are under condemnation.
Salvation involves the redemption of the whole man, and is offered freely to all who accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior by faith, who by His own blood obtained eternal redemption for the believer. In its broadest sense salvation includes regeneration, justification, sanctification, and glorification. There is no salvation apart from personal faith in Jesus Christ as Lord.
It is the duty and privilege of every follower of Christ and of every church of the Lord Jesus Christ to endeavor to make disciples of all nations. The new birth of man's spirit by God's Holy Spirit means the birth of love for others. Missionary effort on the part of all rests thus upon a spiritual necessity of the regenerate life, and is expressly and repeatedly commanded in the teachings of Christ.

Sudan's Reinstated Prime Minister Has Resigned, Leaving The Military Back In Full Control After Its Coup
Kassy Cho
Badass Women You Should Know About In 2021
Sudan's prime minister Abdalla Hamdok has resigned a month after he was reinstated in a power sharing deal with the military, which seized power in a coup in October.
The news comes during mass protests against the military coup and the subsequent power sharing deal.
Protesters see the deal as a concession to the military, which has controlled Sudan for most of its more than 60 year history, the New York Times reported.
"I tried as much as I could to avoid our country from sliding into disaster. But despite my efforts to achieve the desired and necessary consensus to give citizens security, peace, justice and to stop bloodshed, that did not happen," Hamdok said in a televised address on Sunday Jan. 2 as he announced his resignation.
He said his resignation would allow someone else to lead the country to complete its transition to a civilian, democratic country, calling for dialogue.
"Our country is going through a dangerous turning point that may threaten its entire survival if it is not remedied soon," he said.
Under the agreement in November, Hamdok was supposed to lead a cabinet of technocrats for a transitional period with military oversight before elections can be held to hand power to a civilian government.
However, it was unclear how much power the government would hold, AP reported, and widespread protests continued, with security forces opening fire on protesters and killing at least 57 people since the coup.
In a televised address on Sunday evening, Mr. Hamdok said that repeated mediation attempts had failed in recent days and that the country needed to engage in a new dialogue to to chart a path toward a democratic, civilian state.
Hamdok's resignation now leaves the military in full control.
The military had seized power on Oct. 25, while it been sharing power with civilian leaders in a transitional government for over two years after overthrowing the country's long-time dictator Omar al-Bashir in 2019.
The coup, which initially placed Hamdok under house arrest, came just weeks before the coup leader, Lt. Gen. Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, was supposed to surrender his position leading the Sovereign Council to a civilian, which would have put Sudan under full civilian control for the first time since 1989, according to the New York Times.
Further protests calling for a restoration to civilian rule are planned in the coming days.

A second stimulus check could still pass in 2020, but only if …
Here's what you need to know about a second stimulus check for 2021.
Sarah Tew / CNET
A second stimulus control seems less likely in 2020, but that doesn't mean it's no longer possible at all. Actually, the signs for a new audit in early 2021 are strong, even if a bill passed in the next 17 days does not include new direct payment.
The sturdy support for another stimulus check is clearly on both sides of the aisle, with lawmakers, President Donald Trump and President-elect Joe Biden all supporting a blanket bid to send more money to the majority of Americans.
"Right now, I want checks – for more money than they're talking about – going to people," Trump said on Sunday. "I'm pushing it really hard."
Despite the twofold enthusiasm for one more instant payment, one $ 908 billion bipartisan proposal cuts it out, probably as a way to keep costs low enough to overcome Republican backlash against a high bill.
Still, an amendment to the same proposal that two senators pledge to fight for this week would bring in a $ 1,200 payment, and a White House counter-proposal would net $ 600 for each qualified adult and child (but there are costs involved).
The reverse nature of the negotiations in the preceding days the latest federal coronavirus protections are ending puts a giant question mark above a second – or even a third? – stimulus check in 2020 or early 2021. Here's how another direct payment could pass this year, and how the situation could turn out based on what we know today. This article will be updated with new information.
$ 1,200 incentive check will be approved in 2020, paid in 2021
There are several ways in which stimulus control can take place. Here's the first.
In what has been called an unlikely duo, Republican Senator Josh Hawley and Senator Bernie Sanders, an independent, have teamed up to demand that a $ 1,200 incentive check be included in the proposal at the center of the most recent debate. The $ 908 billion plandrafted by a group of Democratic and Republican senators, does not include a stimulus check that would drop the price well above $ 1 trillion, a cut-off point for some Republicans.
As of this summer, the IRS said it had sent 160 million stimulus payments totaling $ 270 billion, or about 30% of the total bipartisan proposal. As of September, the IRS was still chasing at least 9 million people who still owed that first payment, driving the total cost even higher.
However, if the next bill drops two of the most contentious issues – Democrats 'desire to fund state and local governments and Republicans' desire to protect businesses from coronavirus litigation – then there may be some leeway. is to send. a second stimulus check.
If approved, the direct payment would likely follow many if not all of the rules set out in the initial check. If it has passed with a week or two left in the month, it is possible that some of the The first people in line were more likely to get a stimulus check end of the year, with tens of millions of others received in 2021.
Following stimulus checks: what to expect
A bill passes with a direct payment of $ 600 to Americans
Democrats rejected the White House proposal on Dec. 8 of a $ 918 billion bill, including a $ 600 incentive check, at the expense of renewing the federal contribution to weekly unemployment insurance for unemployed Americans. The simple math is that unemployment pay would yield up to about $ 4,800 for those with no income ($ 300 per week for four months, or about 16 weeks) versus a one-time payment of $ 600 per qualified person per household.
However, if the content of the bill were to shift and cut out some of the funding, could there be enough left to pay out an emergency stop in addition to the weekly $ 300 federal unemployment checks? And if that happens, can a third check take place in 2021? We don't know, but it's definitely worth thinking about.
"We have to get the essentials done and we will have time to get things done that we didn't include because we couldn't get a political agreement, we have time to do that," said House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer. on Sunday, seemingly hinting that Democrats can set aside the funding they want to pass a bill at short notice. "We have a new president, we have a new congress. We won't leave anyone behind. '
Not an incentive payment in 2020, but a second check in 2021
If the action continues to unite around the $ 908 billion plan as it is, there will be no new stimulus check in 2020, but the chances of cashing a check for $ 1,200 in 2021 would be higher. While previous proposals have suggested $ 2,000 per qualified adult until the pandemic is over (that idea was backed by Vice President Kamala Harris and Sanders), $ 1,200 appears to be a precedent that both sides will accept.
See below for key figures that support another check.
Why a second stimulus check has a good chance … at some point
The number of legislators supporting a second check is growing. Here is a partial list of people and groups in and around the government who have spoken out strongly in favor of a new scrutiny.
President elect Joe Biden"I think it would be better if they have the $ 1,200 and I understand that may still be in play," said Biden on December 4, adding that he backs the $ 908 billion proposal as a necessary compromise short-term. "You have to find the right place where enough people are willing to go in a direction that will take us a long way."
Sen. Bernie Sanders: The Vermont Democrat and the former presidential hopeful said he will not back the $ 908 billion bill without major changes to include stimulus controls. He also wants to rule out language about restricting lawsuits related to COVID-19, which is something Republicans want. "In my opinion, we need to make sure that every American working class receives at least $ 1,200 in direct payments," said Sanders. Sanders said on Thursday that he was working with Hawley on a change for a check for $ 1,200.
Another stimulus check is not over yet.
James Martin / CNET
Sen. Josh HawleyThe Missouri Republican appears to be a lone voice in his party, advocating both for another outright payment and his willingness to reach down the aisle and work with Democrats. "I don't know why we should not provide direct assistance to families and individuals in need," he told NBC News on Dec. 3. "It's fast – it's just as fast as anything else."
On Thursday, Hawley worked with Sanders on a new stimulus check and said he would introduce legislation for another instant payment. "If Congress doesn't pass emergency direct payments legislation next week, I will go to the Senate to demand a vote on my legislation," he said in a statement.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez objected to the lack of an incentive check for ordinary Americans. "COVID emergency response should directly help ordinary people. People need incentive controls and user interface," she tweeted on December 4, referring to a larger weekly check for unemployment insurance.
Representative Roy Blunt"We need to continue funding the vaccine, the delivery of the vaccine," Blunt, a Missouri Republican, said on Nov. 29 on CNN. "It would be helpful to send money to families who were struggling, and would increase unemployment somewhat."
Sen. Joe Manchin, Representative Rashida Tlaib: The Democrats also expressed support for immediate aid. Manchin helped draft the $ 908 billion stimulus bill as a way to keep programs from expiring without a safety net, he said.
127 economistsA large group of bipartisan economists, including former President Barack Obama's top economic adviser, called on Congress on Nov. 23 to quickly pass a stimulus bill, specifically a bill that includes a check for Americans.
"We urge policymakers to use all the tools at their disposal to revitalize the economy, including direct cash payments, which are one of the fastest, most equitable and effective ways to help families and getting the economy back on track, "the open letter said. said.
President Donald Trump: On Oct. 6, Trump openly called on Democrats to reach an agreement hours later on a stimulus deal end negotiations on the same day, while treated for COVID-19 right away medicine known to have strong side effects. "When I get a Stand Alone Bill for Stimulus Checks ($ 1,200), they go to our amazing people IMMEDIATELY. I'm ready to sign now," he tweeted. This week, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin sent a new proposal that reportedly includes $ 600 incentive checks to Democratic leaders.
Heroes Act, Versions 1 and 2, written by the Democrats: Both versions of the bill passed by the House of Representatives on May 15 and October 1 contain a second incentive check of a maximum $ 1,200 per eligible adult.
Republican-written HEALS Act: Introduced to the Senate by Republican authors on July 27 Billion dollar proposal includes an instant payment of up to $ 1,200, as do the March CARES Act and the Heroes Act.
For more information on stimulus controls, here's how you might get more money on your next check, or a smaller payment next time. Here is that may not qualify. And this is an introduction to the five different priority groups and when you would realistically be able to get another check if and when it has passed, based on important dates.


ONLINE PARENTING COACH: Is your teenager getting mouthy?
I have a teenage girl that is strongly defiant mostly when asked to clean up her room & also when I ask her to go to bed. A lot of times she throws things to try & get her own way. also she things she can leave home & have a baby she is 15 with the mind of a 11 year old.
My 15 year old son is extremely abusive towards me if he doesn't get his own way. he is not only verbally abusive but also sometimes physically abusive. I try and stay calm (which makes him worse)and ignore him if he continues to swear at me and call him names. I do break down afterwards (when he's not around)and it really shakes me up but so far have not found a satisfactory answer to this problem. His behaviour often gets worse ( he punishes me) after an episode like this. I am having a great deal of trouble trying to make him see that he is only hurting himself by being destructive and not accepting help that everyone is offering him. He is on a slippery slope down.I am at a loss and having trouble hanging onto my sanity as he sees everything I do as 'annoying' (I am the primary carer).Any suggestions would be gratefully received.
I am so sorry for you. I know what it is like as I have had similar with my eldest who also has mild Aspergers! The physicality is almost gone, occaisonal 'shove' but I know it will happen as I am not controlled and right in his face threatening. I have learnt to walk away, out , anywhere if he gets like this. if he is old enough, get out of the house!
Verbal abuse is still there & I am told "they are only words mum get over it". after the explaination of hurtfullness, by me, I let it go and am trying to not let it bother me. It will drive you into the grave and really, they know who and how their target will react. My sanity is stretched all of the time, but I am getting better at going to my room with a coffee & watching tv, leaving the house to run an errand, just walking away.

Orioles: Bats break out in win over Yankees
By By Pat Stoetzer and Times Staff Writer
BALTIMORE - These are the games that made Earl Weaver famous.
The former Baltimore Orioles manager, who died earlier this year, had a well-worn yet favorite formula for success: good pitching, good defense, and a three-run home run.
The Orioles got all three Saturday night against New York, and threw in an extra three-run shot for good measure.
Chris Davis led the charge with two homers and five RBIs, and Baltimore's bombers mashed out 15 hits en route to an 11-3 win over the rival Yankees in front of a sellout crowd of 46,607 at Camden Yards.
The second largest crowd of the year saw the Orioles jump on New York starting pitcher David Phelps early, and a 9-0 lead after three innings made things easier on Baltimore left-hander Zach Britton.
The offense showcased itself in front of a nationally televised audience, one that witnessed the major league's home-run leader in Davis. He wowed the crowd with a pair of no-doubt-about-it shots - the first an opposite field, three-run blast into Baltimore's bullpen in the first inning, and the second a towering two-run fly onto the flag court in right field in the sixth.
Davis' 30 home runs tied him with Brady Anderson for the club record for most homers before the All-Star break.
"I'm not going up there to try and hit home runs," Davis said. "I'm just trying to put good swings on good pitches."
Davis' second homer put Baltimore up 11-2 and helped ensure the Orioles of their third consecutive winning month.
It also gave Britton (2-2) a victory, and handed the Yankees (42-38) their fourth straight loss.
Meanwhile, the Orioles improved to 46-36 and trimmed Boston's lead to 2.5 games in the AL East.
"We've got a long way to go to do the things that they're doing and have done," said manager Buck Showalter. "Our guys really want to be a part of that. It's hard to do. That's why it's so gratifying if you can do it."
Davis provided the bulk of the offense, Britton tossed 5 2-3 innings and allowed only one run, and the defense was highlighted by shortstop J.J. Hardy's diving stab on Ichiro Suzuki's line drive up the middle to lead off the fourth.
Chris Dickerson singled up the middle with the bases loaded in the third, and two more runs came in to make it 6-0. One batter later, Ryan Flaherty cleared the wall over the scoreboard in right for a three-run shot, his sixth home run of the season.
Phelps (5-5) was done after 2 1-3 innings, nine hits, and nine runs allowed. The Orioles sent nine batters to the plate in the first inning and gave Britton some serious support. Davis had a big blow that put the home team ahead 4-0. Davis enjoyed the sixth multi-homer game of his career, three of which have come this season. He also tied a career high with the five RBIs, and he's batting .357 over his last 36 games.
"I think any time you score a lot of runs and are able to relax and enjoy the game, it's a lot of fun and takes a lot of pressure off everybody," Davis said.
Showalter said he's running out of superlatives for his slugger.
"I'll let you all do it. You're better at it than I am," Showalter said. "But Chris knows what we think of him and how proud we are of the year he's having."
Orioles fans outnumbered those of the Yankees, and both Showalter and Davis said they've recognized the support during the series. That will likely continue tonight, another chance for Baltimore to be seen on national TV.
"It was a good game for us and it will all be forgotten [tonight] at 8 o'clock," Showalter said. "I'm just proud that we're going to have our third winning month in a row, which is something we really wanted to get off and be consistent with."
NOTES: The Orioles designated first baseman Travis Ishikawa for assignment and recalled pitcher Jair Jurrjens to take his place on the roster. Ishikawa was 2 for 17 in six games with Baltimore. Jurrjens tossed 2 1-3 scoreless relief innings Saturday... Chris Tillman (9-2) takes on Hiroki Kuroda (7-5) tonight on ESPN.
