Q: subtraction of two irrational numbers to get a rational Say you have a number like $\pi$ or e. Is it possible to subtract another number from it and end up with a rational number? I mean I guess you could write an equation like $\pi-x=3$ But could there ever be a solution for x (that we could know and write out)?
Correction: Any number besides the irrational number itself. Damn math ppl are too quick..

A: .223456789101112131415...  -  .123456789101112131415... = .1

A: If you take any real number $x\in\mathbb{R}$ you can show that the set of $y\in\mathbb{R}$ such that $x-y\in\mathbb{Q}$ is exactly $x+\mathbb{Q}$.

Let $y$ be in $\mathbb{R}$ with $x-y$ being rational then $y=x-(x-y)$ so that $y\in x+\mathbb{Q}$. On the other hand, if $y=x+q$ with $q\in\mathbb{Q}$ then $x-y=-q\in\mathbb{Q}$.

So this is kind of easy. However I think that it is not known wether $\pi+e$ is rational or not... What we know is that either $\pi e$ or $\pi+e$ (maybe both) is irrational...

Assume that both $\pi e$ and $\pi+e$ are rational then :
$P(x):=(x-\pi)(x-e)=x^2-(\pi+e)x+\pi e$ is a polynomial with rational coefficients. This implies that both $\pi$ and $e$ are algebraic numbers which cannot be true...

A: $\pi - \pi = 0$ which is rational.
Edit: $\pi - (\pi -1) = 1$ which is a difference of two different irrationals which is rational.  How's that?

It's been a ridiculously long time since the last Dronescape ... I guess I don't want them to end and am unconsciously stretching them out so they'll last longer. These post-sixty minute longform pieces have become such an important part of my life, I just don't want the series to stop.
I know the Dronescapes have built up a bit of a following and to everyone who has or will buy them, I do promise to release the remaining pieces more often. But when you hear Cousin Silas' forty-first dronescape, you'll want me to slow do too.
Dronescape 041 is a glorious piece, resplendent in its seventy minutes. It is wonderfully textured and atmospheric, with a wide-open ambience that instantly made me think of those awe-inspiring Cyclopean vistas in Lovecraft's Mountains of Madness. There are wee snippets of melody that float into perception and then disappear, replaced with more dramatic sounds that surprise me, as the listener, and keep me on edge, expectant and wanting of more.
I don't think I have heard as varied a dronescape from Cousin Silas as I have with forty-one ... and I absolutely love it. This is definitely a piece that you'll come back to, time and again.
That said, if you aren't able to then please note a 320kbps version of this release is available over on Archive (https://archive.org/details/waag_drs041) for free.

Conscious Alliance opens new distribution center

Conscious Alliance Executive Director Justin Levy drove by a tan building on Industrial Lane every day for four years with a dream of one day working out of it.
In February, the nonprofit was handed keys to that tan building, and the eight-person staff upgraded from an office space in Boulder to the 10,593 square-foot distribution center. On Thursday, a grand opening fit with a ribbon cutting, food trucks and live music was held at the new space, located at 3801 Industrial Lane in Broomfield.
Conscious Alliance holds food drives at concerts and takes that food, along with large-scale food donations, and then redistributes the food to those in need. The nonprofit's Art That Feeds food drives are held at concerts across the country, where people donate food in exchange for a poster.

The new distribution center allows for more food to be donated and distributed, and for that process to be streamlined.
"We've been piecing it together for years borrowing warehouse spaces, and we were finally able to open the doors of our national distribution center," Levy said Thursday as he stood in the warehouse portion of the building. "It's a big step for Conscious Alliance, but it's really not for us. It's for the kids and families we serve, so that we can do a better job and get them more food."
Conscious Alliance has provided close to eight million meals to kids and families to date, according to its website, and the nonprofit's work proved especially important throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. Levy said 2.6 million meals were donated last year, feeding students to music touring professionals and everyone in between.
"It really is a conscious alliance that made this possible," Levy said. "It's the musicians playing right now. It's the restaurants, it's the volunteers, the young people that have shown up and brought 20 cans of food to Red Rocks (Amphitheatre) and dragged it up the hill just to make sure they donated their food. … It's the volunteers fighting hunger in their community every year."
Levy said the distribution center's new Broomfield location is the perfect spot.

"It puts us directly between Denver and Boulder," he said. "We're in a really great spot here. It allows us to continue to serve Boulder County, Broomfield County, Denver, Jefferson County and beyond. And Broomfield has been amazing to us. We're so happy to be here."
Conscious Alliance regularly sends food to Native American reservations, something that makes Advisory Board member Walt Pourier emotional to see when he visits his family on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota.
"Everybody's got such good hearts and the supporters are phenomenal," Pourier said of Conscious Alliance. "It's the perfect mechanism of people, good hearts and good intentions."
Musicians Todd Park Mohr of Big Head Todd, Joel Cummins of Umphrey's McGee and Jeremy Salken of Big Gigantic performed at the grand opening Thursday for a crowd of more than 50.

"We're extremely proud to unveil our new home to all of you," Board President Peter-Christian Olivo told the crowd, and thanked those who had donated money toward the building. "That money that you donate directly enables us to get food to those that need it. It pays for trucking, it pays for shipping, it really helps us fulfill our mission."

Centers of community that were destroyed in the Mill Creek Valley
A look at some of the secular African-American institutions that urban renewal took away from St. Louis
Courtesy of the Missouri History Museum
African-American soldiers in front of the Pine Street YMCA during World War II
Church on Sunday was not the only place African Americans built community in the Mill Creek Valley in the early 20th century. Although most of the heavy-hitting institutions that ran the economy of the city were located downtown, they were closed to the vast majority of the residents of the segregated Mill Creek area west of Union Station. Consequently, the streets around Jefferson Avenue and its cross streets, Market and Pine, held a small city all its own, with fraternal organizations, a hospital, and even financial institutions for the 20,000 African Americans living nearby. While many of the 40-plus churches demolished by urban renewal (see last week's post) either moved or consolidated, many of the secular organizations mentioned below simply ceased to exist after the 1960s.
City Hospital No. 2, at 2945 Lawton Avenue, in 1920
Located at the northeast corner of Lawton and Garrison avenues, City Hospital No. 2 served African Americans, who were often denied access to other hospitals in the city. Like many other structures in the Mill Creek area, the hospital building had begun its life decades earlier when the majority of the neighborhood's residents were white. City Hospital No. 2 was originally the (now largely forgotten) Barnes Medical College, named after the famous philanthropist and founder of Barnes Hospital but not in any way affiliated with him. The medical college never really succeeded; it folded after a short time, then became a hotel, then Centenary Hospital. In 1918, City Hospital No. 2 was founded and took over the building, with Dr. Roscoe Haskell as the first superintendent. The hospital officially opened on January 1, 1919, with 500 beds, 16 "internes," and 56 nurses.
The political establishment was content with keeping African Americans out of most of the city and hospitals, but it was happy to intrude into the operation of the hospital. In a November 3, 1925, St. Louis Post-Dispatch article, Haskell accused the Republican Party establishment of terminating his employment because of his vote in the recent election and replacing him with Dr. Omar Perdue.
Though the City Hospital No. 2 building was demolished during urban renewal, the African-American medical community had already invested, back in 1937, in the stunning and state-of-the-art Homer G. Phillips Hospital in the Ville neighborhood, another nexus of their community. Ultimately vindicated, Haskell became the first superintendent of Homer G. Phillips.
Detail of a 1920s advertisement for People's Finance Corporation, taken from a history of Central Baptist Church by George E. Stevens
Founded in the Pine Street YMCA in Mill Creek, the People's Finance Corporation Building at the northwest corner of Jefferson and Market housed several different institutions for the African-American community. Interestingly, St. Louis was the pioneer of banking for African Americans, and the Globe-Democrat featured in 1928 a full-page article about how the Corporation inspired similar banks around the country, including Kansas City, Chicago and New York. The building opened in 1926, and the article states that it was the only "modern building" in the country financed, constructed and occupied by African Americans. It was valued at $400,000 and had 91 offices, seven storefronts, and, it was estimated, between 3,000 and 4,000 visitors a day. The St. Louis American originally had its offices in the building as well.
Nearby, The True Reformers were part of a national organization that met regularly at their hall at Pine Street and Jefferson Avenue. Delegates from the local chapter also traveled to conventions, known as "grand fountains." At one, reported in the St. Louis Globe-Democrat in 1906, they discussed creating a bank for African Americans. The True Reformers boasted 3,000 members and real estate ownership valued at $50,000. Unfortunately, no record of the bank being founded appears in newspapers after 1906, and in 1912, the Globe-Democrat reported that the building, which was formerly a hospital, was sold in foreclosure. It became a factory building.
In its glory days, however, the True Reformers Hall even hosted the reformers' version of the Veiled Prophet Ball, this one for African Americans. The St. Louis Palladium newspaper reported on September 30, 1907, that the "Prophet Abdul Menelik ben-Hassin" appeared with his "Queen of the East" in the annual visitation of the African prophet. There were prizes: $5 for the gold medal and $3 for the silver. John B. Vashon, the famous African American educator, was the secretary of the organization; Vashon High School was named after him and his father.
Another neighborhood institution was the Jefferson Club at 2639 Lawton Avenue, which the Globe-Democrat reported was the subject of a police raid down the street from City Hospital No. 2. Five individuals at the address had been operating a "policy game," which is basically an illegal lottery, on the premises, and the City was cracking down on this illicit form of entertainment. (Another establishment was raided at the same time on Morgan Street.)
Desegregation was supposed to eliminate the need for these separate African-American institutions. Instead, the Jefferson Bank and Trust Company at the edge of the former Mill Creek Valley became the center of one of the most famous civil rights demonstrations in St. Louis history. Just north of where the Green Book reported a row of hotels on Jefferson serving African Americans, the bank sat at the intersection of Jefferson with Washington Avenue, on the former site of the Coliseum and Uhrig's Cave. From late 1964 into early 1965, daily protests demanded the hiring of more African Americans. New leaders emerged from the successful protests, and their efforts serve as a coda for the Mill Creek Valley, which was being demolished just to the south.

THIS IS A LONG READ—BUT TELLS US ABOUT THE NEW LEADER OF IRAN: THE SOURCE IS THE WEEKLY STANDARD—ALI ALFONEH, AND REUEL MARC GERECHT.
Rouhani told Haj-Mohsen pack up your things and leave—no longer needed in peacetime. According to Mohsen Rafiqdoust, the minister of the revolutionary guard heard about Khomeini briefed senior guard commanders about his fathers decision to end the Iran-Iarq was in 1988. Rafsanjani established a supreme national security council in 1989 and with Khamenei's approval appointed Rouhani as its first secretary. Discussions with the North Koreans about the delivery of "sensitive materials" from Pyongayang took place there in 1991-92, with the involvement of the Atomic energy organization. Rafsanjani writes that on 3/11/92 these "sensitive materials "were "unloaded in Bandar Abbas and the second ship arrives in Chabahar. "The Americans are really fooled".
Terrorism hasn't just been statecraft for the Islamic republic; it's been soulcraft—a means by which the regime could satisfyingly combat the omnipresent "conspiracies" arrayed agaisns it. Its diffeicult to distinguish between personal revenge and raison d'etat. Reza Mazlouman was Rouhani Islam-skeptical teacher. Ali Younesi was Khatami's intel minister. A big reason Rouhani and Rafsanjani gelled as the most effective team in the history of the Islamic republic is that they instinctively thought alike on most matters. Fear is a crucial tool and ah Hannah Arendit pointed out about totalitarianism terror only begins in earnest after the opposition has been wiped out. The occasional assassination of dissidents keeps the elites in check.
Some campaigns became uglier—notably the serial killing of intellectuals during Khatami's presidency, which the investigative journalist Akbar Ganji concluded was the work of Rafsanjani and Ali Fallahian, Rafsanjanis minister of intel.
During Rafsanjani's presidency, hostility towards the US hardly diminished. The foreigners who have come to this region and at their helm the US on of their goals is hegemony over this region. This is a disgrace for the region and the world of Islam it Muslims don't resist this conspiracy and don't counter it". Refsanjani and Roushani believed passionately in divide and conquer. To defeat American designs, every angle should be played.
Any development that leads to delay in the realization of US threats against us is desirable. I believe that any type of military aggression against Iran is outside of the consensus of public opinion in the US. Americans also need to achieve the approval of our neighbors. I believe we must work on relations with countries like France and Germany and make them into close and friendly countries but finding friends is hard and keeping friend even harder.
Rouhani remains proud and sensitive about his 2003-5 nuclear tenure. Don't forget Sept 2003 UN resolution was that Iran should suspend all enrichment-related activities, but we didn't accept that fore the production of parts the assembly of centrifuges, both of which the resolution demanded that we suspend. We did not accept it and did not suspend its since we had few working centrifuges.
In Rouhani's and Rafsanjani's eyes Ahmadinejad was botching everything. Rouhani dryly expresses this contempt for Ahmadinejad, who at least until he started to question the privileged political dispensation of the clergy had Khamenie's backing. Rouhani's first and last meeting with Ahmadinejad as Iran's nuclear negotiator didn't' go well.
Most probably Rounani wants the nuke as much as any officer in the guard or Saeed Jalili, the one-legged, shrine loving war veteran.
Rouhnai just want to be cleverer about how the regime becomes a nuclear state. .to get the sanctions lifted and Rouhani is convinced that once they start coming down, they are unlikely to go back up—the Islamic republic should slow its nuclear program without diminishing its capacity to produce a bomb and the ballistic missiles to deliver it.
The supreme leader is surely aware that Rouhjani's nuclear memoir is, among other things a criticism of his preferred confrontational approach during Ahmadinejad's presidency. And Rouhani has to worry that the guard longstanding distaste for him and small appetite for concession may derail his diplomatic efforts to test Western resolve and unity. The corps has grown enormously powerful under the sanctions regime because it recourses are vast and privileged.
Khamenei has approval or acquiesced to the guards economic expansionism because it is as it proved in smashing the massive pro-democracy green movement in 2009 indispensable to his rule. Western observers o Iran often see the antagonism between Rouhani and the guard primarily as a test of will over the nuclear program: it isn't. Rouhani's politics aren't reformist; they are revanchist. He wants his class—the first generation upper tier revolutionary managers who made the republic under Rafsanjani to against have the high ground. He wants educated civilians, not coarse militiamen who in his eyes lost the Great War against Hussein. Conspicuously dumped guardsmen form his cabinet and provincial government. Publicity attacked the corps for trying to destroy private enterprise and exposed private firms that are really guard front companies.
President Obama is in a peculiar situation: He has hooked his diplomacy onto a cleric who can claim to have been a founding father of Iran's theocracy and its nuclear weapons program.
Whether or not Routhani has any intention of trading away his nuclear legacy for better economy, he's clearly shown that he was an attentive student to mentors.
DO YOU THINK OBAMA IS UP TO THE TASK?????
Rouhani contacted Beheshti who was establishing the Islamic Republican party for the ruling celery, and Mousavi-Ardebili organizing the militia later known as the Islamic revolutionary Guard corps. Rouhani, however eventually found another boss-Ali Khamenei.
Rouhani's motives for working with HAMENEI RATHER THAT BEHESHTI OR MOUSAVI-ARDEBILI AREN'T KNOWN. NO ONE COULD HAVE GUESSED THEN THAT KHAMENEI WOULD SUCCEED KHOMEINI AS SUPREME LEADER. IT'S CLEAR THAT THE BASIC TRAINING ROUHANI HAD ACQUIRED IN MILITARY SERVICE MADE HIM USEFUL AS A COMMISSAR IN THE ARMY JOINT FORCE STAFF AND 'ROUHANI MAY HAVE HAD A PERSONAL MOTIVE. Rouhani's stresses his intention to reorganize and enforce discipline in the new army. Depict him as vengeful and ruthless a commissar less interested in revitalizing the army than in getting even with the officers who'd ridiculed him when he was in uniform.
By 1980 Fidel Castro had purged 12,000 servicemen, Rouhani even demanded abolishing the Army Special Operations unit and called for the public hanging of officers to terrorize the military. Mostafa Chamran, defense minister in Mehdi Bazargan's found Rohani too exuberant. Bazargan resigned when Khomeini endorsed the seizure of the American embassy on 11/4/79. He was soon elected to a parliamentary committee controlling the Islamic republic of Iran Broadcasting.
The Iraqi invasion gave birth to a managerial class of revolutionaries capable of handling the day-to –day demands of an immense, savage conflict. The Islamic republics first president and commander Bani-Sadr found himself at odds with radical clerics.
Beheshti was killed in a massive bombing of the republicans party's headquarters Rouhani started looking for a new protector, he found a new father figure in Ali-Akbar Hashemi-Rafsanjani the genius speaker of the parliament and future president Rafsanjani and rouhani in 1984 established a new intelligence ministry, with Reyshahri, Rouhani's old friend form Qom, as it head. Rouhani even tried to intervene in battlefield deliberations, which further infuriated revolutionary guard commanders.
In the 1980's Rouhani was enmeshed in the Iran-contra affair. He was one of the "moderates " that CIA memoranda to then-director William Casey. Rouhani would soon be inspecting the newly delivered Hawk missiles, which the clerical regime had demanded in return for some half-dozen American held hostages in Lebanon. Rouhani suggested that Iran should extort more Hawk missiles in return for the hostages.
Sahebeh Arabi, Rouhani's cousin was born in 1954, which mean she was 15 at the time of her wedding. Among religious families, marriage and Siqeh, or temporary marriage, where a man marries a woman for a specified time for a price, are not uncommon for young male students ready to go into the world. After all, his fellow seminarians considered Qom the center of Sunnah, or the proper practice of the prophet. The university was institutions most effectively questioning their faith. Why did Rouhani run the risk of isolating himself form his peers?
Rouhani makes the risible claim that the university actually had lower academic standards than the clerical schools. Moving to Tehran allowed Rouhani to be closer to his mentor Beheshti and Morteza Mottahari, another modern cleric who taught at the faculty of Theology at Teharn U and would play an important role after the revolution as one of the theoreticians of the Islamic state.
He found himself at odds with his Islam-skeptical professors: the criminologist Reza Mazlouman; Parviz Owsia, who taught family law; but also faculty dean Moanouchehr Ganji.
Mohammad-reza mahdavi-Kani, later became one of the most influential clerics of the Islamic revolution.Mostafa Komeieni's death in Najaf, Iraq in 1977 is still shrouded in mystery. Khomeini's supporters accuse SAVAK internal-security of assassinating him, Parviz Sabeti, then SAVAK's internal-security director, in his recently published memoir demises any such involvement. An honorific title describing the person who leads prayers among Sunnis, imam among Persians refers to Ali and his charismatic descendants, who have acquired a semi-divine status within Shiism. Kohomeini, he also introduced the idea of the ayatollah's being infallible and about written law. He soon found himself among the founding members of the influential Combatant clergy Association, an Oxford Union for politicized mullahs. Abdul-Karim Mousavi-Ardebili became a sanguinary judiciary chief, ali-Akbar Nategh Nouri became a revolutionary clergy in parliament.
ROUHANI DOES NOT EXPLAIN HOW HE WAS SUPPOSED TO TEACH IN Britain without English. In France, Rouhani renewed his bonds with two radical friends: Mohannamd, the son of Grand Ayatollah Hossein-Ali Montazeri and Ali-akbar mohtashamipour who would become the régimes ambassador in Damascus in 1982, was a founding father of the Lebanese Hezbollah.
Rouhani's visits to France did not secure a place for him Khomeini's inner circle and he was devastated to learn that Abol- Hassin Bani-Sadr was to be the future president.
—-THIS IS A LONG READ—BUT TELLS US ABOUT THE NEW LEADER OF IRAN: THE SOURCE IS THE WEEKLY STANDARD—ALI ALFONEH, AND REUEL MARC GERECHT.
It is not crystal clear as to why the supreme leader, Ali Khamenei, who controls the atomic program, or the Islamic Guard corps would now halt a massive, 30-year industrial effort, it is plain that they regard Rouhani's election as the "dues es machine" that may offer a way out.
His real family name is Freydoun, but he goes by Rouhani, which means "pious" or "a cleric". He has systematically violated what even hard-nosed Islamic jurist might consider sacred obligations that rulers owe their subjects. Who really is the man at the helm of the self-declared "government of prudence and hope?
CHILDHOOD IN SORKHEH, THEOLOGY IN QOM—his father Asadollah Fereydoun witnessed the rapid collapse of Reza Shah Pahlai's modernized army. Asadollah deserted and returned to toiling on the land and small time shopkeeper in Sorkheh. Hassan the oldest of five siblings, in 1952 undertook the pilgrimage to Mecca, which earned him the title of Hajji. The piety of the Fereydouns was noticed: villagers consulted Asadollah in religious affairs, wandering preachers found a place in his home and by 1958 Grand Ayatollah Hossein Tabatabaei Borroujerdi appointed him his VAKIL or representative in Sorkheh.. Encouraged by his father, Hassan started theological studies in Senman in 1960. In 1961 he enrolled at the Alavi School at the theological seminary in Qom, the training ground for most of Iran's influential clerics, the move was also politically expedient.
The Shities of Iran, even after the Islamic Revolution established a clerical dictatorship, are free to choose their religious guides. Fereydoun, always sensitive to the popular mood, enrolled Hassan at the Golpayegani led Alavi School. In return the ayatollah made Fereydoun his vakil authorized to collect religious taxes. Mohammad Beheshti, destined to be the firs judiciary chief of the Islamic republic, had the task of modernizing the schools. Beheshti was a demanding modernizer whose innovations amounted to a pedagogical earthquake in Qom.
Thanks in their connections with Beheshti, his friends rose to prominence after the revolution of 1979; Mohammad Mohammadi Revshahri became the first head of the ministry of intelligence, while Ghodam-Hossein Mohammadi Golypayegani, Mohammad-Hassan Akhtari and Mousavi Hashani all now serve in the office of the supreme leader.
Traditionally, one ayatollah rises to the "source of emulation above all others. Modammad-Reza shah Pahlavi launched his ambitions 1963 modernizations scheme the White Revolution. His program distributed the lands of the rural aristocracy and religious endowments among peasants, men and women with a high school diploma in to the Wisdom Corps, it introduced the vote for women.
Ruhollah Khomeini eyed a historic opportunity to lead a revolution of his own: by attacking the land reform and women's suffrage, Khomeini not only managed to establish himself as a leader of the opposition to the shah, he also used his newfound popularity to bypass the traditional clerical hierarchy, with its unwritten but rigid deference to seniority. Rouhani writes that Khomeini awakened him politically when he was 15.
The ACA was enacted in 2010 with the promise of reducing the federal budget deficit while expanding health insurance coverage.
Enrollment figures show that this promise has disintegrated and no one can say how much fiscal damage the ACA will ultimately cause. Many of the savings provisions designed to pay for it have been shelved thus far.
ACA coverage will cost the federal government $92 billion a year by FY2015. this is roughly 0.5% of projected US economic output for 2015.
Worse the federal fiscal position was far weaker when the ACA was passed than when Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid were created.
The ACA start up cost is, they represent only the tip of the fiscal iceberg that will be the fully phased-in law. CBO projects that its annual costs will hit $200 billion by FY2020 or nearly 0.9% of GDP.
There is every reason to believe that the ACA eventual costs will far exceed initial estimates. No sooner was the ink dry various "pay-fors" began to be tossed overboard; one after the other.
CLASS ACT (community living assistance services and supporters, a long term care program) was financially unsound form the beginning had to be suspended a little over one year later, and was eventually repealed.
$100 billion fro penalties on individuals, but the Obama adm has repeatedly postponed enforcement. There is now a campaign to abandon the individual mandate penalty altogether, despite a advocated having previously touted it as essential to the working of the ACA, has also been dropping cuts to Medicare Advantage required.
Unclear is reinsurance and "risk corridor" provisions will produce \unexpected federal budget costs. These provisions were included in the ACA to protect insurers from financial losses if their exchange plan participants prove to be sicker and costlier than initially presumed.
Obama continues to promise both participating health to promise both participating health insurers and taxpayers that they will each be protected from loss under the risk corridor provisions.
What has cause the ACA's financing to immediately unravel lies in the decision of the ACA's advocated to push the law through congress on a party-line despite public opposition.
Provisions looming on the horizon, such as the tax on so-called Cadillac health insurance plans, and the decisions of the IPAB will be enforced any more diligently than others have been to date.
THE ONCE MOST POWERFUL NATION IN THE WORLD HAS THIS WRITTEN ABOUT IT—HOW DOES IT MAKE YOU FEEL?
The reason ISIS is so dangerous is because they cannot loose. If they win, they establish a Muslim Caliphate. If they are killed doing so, they go to Paradise and are greatly rewarded for their efforts. How can this not be attractive to a young impressionable Muslim who feels that this is his chance to "make a difference". Their entire goal is to please Allah and do his bidding. And they are willing to die for that cause and do whatever it takes to achieve their goals. Suicide mission, no problem. Kill infidels, no problem. Behead the enemy, no problem. Die for your cause, no problem.
Thousands of young Muslims are going to Iraq and Syria to join ISIS, (now called IS). Their army is well funded, well supplied, and they have many experienced fighters and war planners in their ranks. They are not just a rag tag army, they are very well organized. Using their tactics of fear and intimidation, they strike terror in the hearts of even the bravest soldiers who flee when they see them coming. And they won't quit, they will fight unto death.
Should not the USA organize a coalition to put a stop to them or do it themselves? Why should Obama say it will take "several weeks" to work out a solution. Does he really think that negotiation is the best way to go here? Wake up dude.
Only one way to win this war. We must either completely annihilate them or isolate and contain them somewhere. But this is impossible. When one goes down, there is another to take his place. The belief that they can really pull it off this time is becoming very real to them. And they are fighting for the same cause: To Establish A Muslim Caliphate Throughout the World. Negotiating will not work. What could we negotiate for? Can we pay them out, give them Iraq and Syria? Will they settle for that? Of course not. They can taste victory and will either achieve it or die trying.
They Don't Want Our Lifestyle!
Obama allows limited airstrikes on "barbaric" ISIS–"As commander in chief, I will not allow the United States to be dragged into another war in Iraq." In other words, the caliphate is here to stay — not that any U.S. force could affect lasting change there, anyway — especially nowadays when it would be solely directed toward "respect" for Sharia oppression of women, non-Muslims, gays, etc.
But the relentless advance of the militants, whom he described as "barbaric," has put them within a 30-minute drive of Erbil, raising an immediate danger for the American diplomats, military advisers and other citizens who are based there.
Source—jihad watch, Robert spencer, nyt.
First US airstrikes hit ISIS– "As the president made clear, the United States military will continue to take direct action against ISIS when they threaten our personnel and facilities," Pentagon press secretary John Kirby said in a statement.
Obama announced on Thursday that he had authorized the military to conduct targeted airstrikes to aid Kurdish fighters and refugees under siege from ISIS.
The president also authorized humanitarian air drops of water and other supplies to help refugees holed up on an Iraqi mountain top, where they fled from ISIS.
Another reason Obama has been reluctant to take action in Iraq is because polls suggest most Americans want to stay out of the conflict. In his remarks, Obama — who campaigned on ending the war in Iraq — emphasized that U.S. troops would not return to Iraq.
"As commander in chief, I will not allow the United States to be dragged into fighting another war in Iraq," he continued.


Tragedy struck in Orlando on June 12. A perpetrator inspired by ISIS used military style weapons to murder 49 people and wound 53 others at a nightclub. This kind of lone wolf terrorist attack is perhaps the greatest security threat currently posed to the U.S. A large scale, 9-11 type attack, is much less likely since President Obama has taken out Osama Bin Laden and over 30,000 other terrorists. The U.S. is uniquely vulnerable to this kind of lone wolf attack since our ridiculously lax gun laws allow terrorists to purchase military style attack weapons.
The response from Congressional Democrats to the shooting was swift and decisive. In the Senate, an amendment sponsored by Senator Diane Feinstein that would bar those on the terrorist watch list from purchasing guns and explosives was stopped by a Republican filibuster. Moroever, a GOP filibuster blocked an amendment from Senator Chris Murphy that would have expanded background checks for anyone trying to purchase a firearm at a gun show or online. Both Sasse and Fischer voted to deny an up or down vote on these measures aimed at keeping America safe.
Nebraska's Republican House delegation has been equally irresponsible. Even though Representative Jeff Fortenberry once again tried to pose as a moderate, his record is as extreme as that of Fischer and Sasse. As a member of the House Appropriations Committee, Fortenberry has voted three times to reject legislation that would deny transfers of firearms to persons known or suspected to be engaged in conduct related to terrorism. Moreover, Fortenberry has voted to bar the Centers for Disease Control from funding any research on gun violence and make recommendations.
Congressman Adrian Smith was equally dismissive of efforts to protect Americans from terrorist inspired gun violence and ridiculed the House sit in. In a statement he issued in the wake of the Orlando tragedy, Smith put himself squarely on the side of protecting terrorists' ability to purchase the weapons of his or her choice.
The events of the last two weeks prove once again that the Republican Party can't be trusted to keep us safe. These irresponsible votes to arm terrorists with deadly assault weapons has followed in the wake of years of Republican fecklessness on national security. Beginning in the spring of 2001, then President Bush received (and ignored) several warnings that Osama Bin Laden and Al Qaeda were planning a series of spectacular attacks on America. Most memorably, on August 6, 2001, Bush received a memo from the CIA with the title: " "Bin Laden Determined to Strike in U.S." Just five weeks later, on 9/11, Al Qaeda accomplished that goal.
The failure to prevent 9/11, was followed up by the disastrous invasion of Iraq – a country that had nothing to do with the attacks on New York City and Washington. No weapons of mass destruction were ever found in that country. In addition, the war ground on for over eight years and according to Nobel Prize winning economist Joseph Stiglitz, will eventually cost U.S. taxpayers $3 trillion.
The choice is clear this fall. We can either build on President Obama's record of achievement or go back to the disastrous policies that have made America less safe. The best way to reduce the incidence of gun violence and to keep America safe is to vote Democratic this fall. We need to work hard to elect Democrats up and down the ballot. I'm convinced that once the voters become more aware of our record and proposals, they will support our candidates. United we are strong. United we will win!

BSU-FSU 'Storm Warning'
Tim Woodward Uncategorized August 26, 2019 February 7, 2021
Warning to Boise State football fans heading to Jacksonville for the Florida State game: tropical storm likely.
Disclaimer: There is nothing official about this warning. The forecast doesn't call for a storm.
But don't rule one out.
The reason: Tropical Storm Tim will be at the game.
Regular readers of this column are well aware of my ability to run afoul of the weather gods when traveling. I've been run out of mountain lakes by storms that turned bone-dry creek beds into knee-deep rapids, stuck in blizzards on mountain passes, celebrated Thanksgiving on Puget Sound with gale-force winds, a power outage and a lily white turkey languishing on a hibachi.
A group of friends trusting enough to travel with the Woodwards to Boise State road games have learned the hard way about my propensity for encountering weather-related emergencies.
The games are an opportunity to spend a few days taking in local attractions in other parts of the country. That was the case a few years ago with a Boise State-Virginia game in Charlottesville, Va. Charlottesville is a few hours' drive from Kitty Hawk, N.C. and the Outer Banks. We planned on pleasant days of exploring beaches and learning more about the place where the Wright brothers invented the airplane.
Until the storm hit. Hurricane Joaquin in the Atlantic combined with the highest tides of the year to flood much of the North Carolina coast. High tides, heavy rain and strong winds had us muttering the star-crossed travelers' lament:
"What the #$%@! are we doing here?"
Waves battering the beaches were as high as we were tall. In a photo taken on a beach, my wife's hair looks as if she'd been standing in the wake of Air Force One. Roads closed; normally busy resort towns were all but deserted.
Did we come home early? Did we hunker down and ride out the storm? Did we try to get out of its path?
No. We'd come to see the sights and weren't about to let a little weather stop us. So, throwing caution (and everything else that wasn't tied down) to the howling winds, we headed to Cape Hatteras.
Cape Hatteras is a narrow, broken strip of islands stretching into the Atlantic from the mainland and back again. So many ships have sunk in its treacherous waters that they're known as the Graveyard of the Atlantic. The Cape Hatteras road is an alleged highway, with apologies to proper highways everywhere. Parts of it are single lane. There are bathrooms that are wider.
This was the road we drove as the storm was bearing down. Parts of it were underwater. It was a good thing our rental was a big SUV or we could have ended up doing a highly successful imitation of a sailboat.
My most vivid memory of that day is of sitting in a little cafe where we stopped to have lunch and confer over whether to turn back to our B&B or continue on and have our names added to a future plaque memorializing those swept out to sea. The sky was the color of lead. Rain was blowing sideways.
The conference was a short one, frequently punctuated by "What the #$%@! are we doing here?"
We turned back.
It was a good thing because the road closed a few hours later.
Back at the B&B, we vowed to avoid future games in hurricane country. A vow we kept – until last year's game in Troy, Alabama. By then, memories of Cape Hatteras had lost some of their punch. And what were the odds of something like that happening twice?
Pretty good, actually.
At first we didn't pay much attention to the red flag that went up on the beach. Clouds had replaced the blue skies of the previous days and the wind was picking up, but no big deal.
Then a second red flag went up, meaning the beach was closed to swimming because it was too dangerous.
The reason: Tropical Storm Gordon.
The storm short-circuited a story I'd wanted to write for years. A public relations officer with the Navy had arranged a tour of the base in Pensacola, Fla., where I was stationed decades earlier and to which I had never returned. (A tornado, incidentally, flattened several blocks of Pensacola during my tenure there.) The helpful P.R. guy had gone so far as to set up interviews with Idaho students at the base.
All for nothing. Gordon closed the base the day before the interview.
It also ended our vacation. After yet another storm conference, we checked out early and drove to Mobile, Ala., to catch our flight home. The next day, the storm closed the causeway to Mobile. If we hadn't left early, we'd have missed our flight. Lodging options were limited on the rural road we took to Mobile. Think Billy Ray's Rooming House, Dogwater, Ala.
We were fortunate to get some of the last rooms at a hotel in Mobile, where we spent the evening sheltering in the lobby comparing storm notes with other guests and Coast Guard emergency workers. Gordon wasn't a hurricane, but it was as close as any of us had been. People were on edge. If you've seen "Key Largo," the classic hurricane movie with Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall, you have an idea of what it was like.
Now, Tropical Storm Tim – clearly a slow learner – is heading to Florida during Hurricane Season.
Of course there might not be a hurricane, tropical storm, tornado or other weather-related disaster there. The weather might be perfect. So don't change your travel plans, and by all means enjoy the game.
But don't say I didn't warn you.

One thought on "BSU-FSU 'Storm Warning'"
A True Pleasure to hear of another storm magnet. Perhaps we are related… I have been in hurricanes in Connecticult, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, Florida, and Belize. The 1999 hurricane with my name (Lenny) had the name retired due to the amount of damage caused. My sister wins though because she was in the same Hurricane in both Florida and New Orleans…

Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 was a scheduled international passenger flight from Addis Ababa Bole International Airport in Ethiopia to Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in Nairobi, Kenya. On 10 March 2019, the Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft which operated the flight crashed near the town of Bishoftu six minutes after takeoff, killing all 157 people aboard. The cause of the accident is under investigation.
Flight 302 is the deadliest accident involving an Ethiopian Airlines aircraft to date, surpassing the fatal hijacking of Flight 961 resulting in a crash near the Comoros in 1996. It is also the deadliest aircraft accident to occur in Ethiopia, surpassing the crash of an Ethiopian Air Force Antonov An-26 in 1982, which killed 73.
The Boeing 737 MAX 8 model first flew on 29 January 2016 and entered service in 2017, making it one of the newest aircraft in Boeing's commercial airliner offerings, and the newest generation of Boeing 737. As of February 2019, 376 aircraft of this model have been produced and one other has crashed, Lion Air Flight 610 in Indonesia in October 2018. Following the accident, the Boeing 737 MAX series of aircraft was grounded by various airlines and government regulators worldwide.
Flight 302 was a scheduled international passenger flight from Addis Ababa to Nairobi. The aircraft took off from Addis Ababa at 08:38 local time (05:38 UTC) with 149 passengers and 8 crew on board. One minute into the flight, the pilot reported a "flight control" problem but decided to continue the flight; three minutes into the flight the aircraft accelerated beyond its safety limits, and the pilot requested permission to return to Addis Ababa while the air traffic controllers had already been diverting other approaching flights.
However, the aircraft then disappeared from radar screens and crashed at 08:44, six minutes after takeoff, having reached an altitude of about 9,000 feet MSL. Flight tracking data showed that the aircraft's altitude and rate of climb and descent were fluctuating. Several witnesses stated the plane trailed "white smoke" and made strange noises before crashing. The aircraft reportedly impacted the ground at nearly 700 mph.
It crashed in the woreda (district) of Gimbichu, Oromia Region, near the town of Bishoftu, 62 kilometres (39 mi) southeast of Bole International Airport. Photographs of the accident site show a large crater with only small pieces of wreckage. There were no survivors.
The aircraft was a Boeing 737 MAX 8, registered ET-AVJ (construction number 62450, manufacturer's serial number 7243), powered by two CFM International LEAP engines. The aircraft was manufactured in October 2018 and delivered on 15 November 2018, making it around four months old at the time of the accident.
All passengers and crew on board, 157 in total, were killed in the accident. Many of the passengers were travelling to Nairobi to attend the fourth session of the United Nations Environment Assembly. Twelve of the victims worked for the United Nations (UN), and at least another seven had other UN affiliations. Both Addis Ababa and Nairobi have offices of UN agencies, and Addis Ababa has the head office of the African Union.
Notable victims on-board included the Italian archaeologist and Councillor for Cultural Heritage of Sicily, Sebastiano Tusa, and Nigerian-Canadian academic Pius Adesanmi. It was originally reported that there were five Dutch victims, but this was later corrected to state that they were German. Slovak politician Anton Hrnko lost his wife and two children in the crash. A Greek man and an Emirati man missed the flight and avoided the disaster.
The airline stated that one passenger had a United Nations laissez-passer.
The captain of the plane was Yared Getachew, 29, who had been flying with the airline for almost nine years and had logged a total of 8,122 flight hours. He had been a Boeing 737-800 captain since November 2017, and Boeing 737 MAX since July 2018. At the time of the accident, he was the youngest captain at the airline. The first officer, Ahmed Nur Mohammod Nur, 25, was a recent graduate from the airline's academy with 361 flight hours logged.
Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed offered his condolences to the families of the victims. Ethiopian Airlines CEO Tewolde Gebremariam visited the accident site, confirmed that there were no survivors and expressed sympathy and condolences. Boeing issued a statement of condolence.
The Ethiopian parliament declared 11 March as a day of national mourning. During the opening of the fourth United Nations Environment Assembly in Nairobi, a minute of silence was observed in sympathy for the victims. President Muhammadu Buhari of Nigeria, in his condolence message on behalf of the government and the people of Nigeria, extended his sincere condolences to Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed of Ethiopia, the people of Ethiopia, Kenya, Canada, China and all other nations who lost citizens in the crash.
On 11 March, the FAA commented that the Boeing 737 Max 8 model was airworthy. However, due to concerns on the operation of the aircraft, the FAA ordered Boeing to implement design changes, effective by April. It stated that Boeing "plans to update training requirements and flight crew manuals in response to the design change" to the aircraft's Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System (MCAS). The changes will also include enhancements to the activation of the MCAS and the angle of attack signal. Boeing stated that the upgrade was developed in response to the Lion Air crash but did not link it to the Ethiopian Airlines crash.
On 19 March, the U.S. Secretary of Transportation, Elaine L. Chao, sent a memo to the U.S. Inspector General asking him to "proceed with an audit to compile an objective and detailed factual history of the activities that resulted in the certification of the Boeing 737-MAX 8 aircraft."
Flight International commented that the accident would likely increase unease about the Boeing 737 MAX felt in the aftermath of the Lion Air Flight 610 accident in October 2018, which similarly occurred shortly after take-off and killed everyone aboard. Boeing shares dropped 11% over the weekend, and as of March 23 Boeing has lost more than $40 billion in market value since the crash, dropping some 14%.
As a result of the accident and the Lion Air Flight 610 crash, which occurred five months prior to the Ethiopian crash, most airlines and countries began grounding the Boeing 737 MAX 8 (and in many cases all MAX variants) due to safety concerns. Ethiopian Airlines grounded their aircraft after the crash, followed by other operators of the 737 MAX. Aviation authorities also started grounding all MAX aircraft under their jurisdiction, including transiting flights, initially by the Civil Aviation Administration of China on 11 March 2018. Initially the United States Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) declined to ground 737 MAX aircraft under its jurisdiction. However between 11 and 13 March the majority of aviation authorities under the world started banning the aircraft. Eventually an emergency order was issued on 13 March grounding the aircraft worldwide after agreement between the FAA and Boeing.
The Ethiopian Civil Aviation Authority (ECAA), the agency responsible for investigating civil aviation accidents in Ethiopia, has been investigating. The aircraft manufacturer, Boeing, stated that it is prepared to work with the United States National Transportation Safety Board and assist Ethiopian Airlines. The United States Federal Aviation Administration will also assist in the investigation.
Both the cockpit voice recorder and the flight data recorder were recovered from the crash site on 11 March. U.S. officials urged Ethiopian Airlines officials to send the voice and data recorders to the United States for analysis, but airline officials told reporters that they had decided to send them to European safety experts instead. Representatives from Germany's Federal Bureau of Aircraft Accident Investigation said that Ethiopian authorities had contacted it about analyzing the flight recorders, but the agency declined because it did not have the software required. The French aviation accident investigation agency BEA announced that it would analyze the flight recorders from the flight. BEA received the flight recorders on 14 March. On 17 March, the Ethiopia's transport minister Dagmawit Moges announced that "the black box has been found in a good condition that enabled us to extract almost all the data inside" and that the preliminary data retrieved from the flight data recorder show a clear similarity with those of Lion Air Flight 610 which crashed off Indonesia.
On 13 March, the FAA announced that new evidence found on the crash site and satellite data on Flight 302 suggested that the aircraft might have suffered from the same problem which the aircraft operating Lion Air Flight 610 had suffered from. Investigators discovered the jackscrew that controlled the pitch angle of the horizontal stabilizer of Flight 302, was in the full "nose down" position. The finding suggested that, at the time of the crash, Flight 302 was configured to dive, similar to Lion Air Flight 610. Due to this finding, some experts in Indonesia suggested that the Indonesian National Transportation Safety Committee (NTSC) should cooperate with Flight 302's investigation team. Later on the evening, the NTSC offered assistance to Flight 302's investigation team, stating that the committee and the Indonesian Transportation Ministry would send investigators and representatives from the government to assist with the investigation of the crash.
Ethiopian Airlines later said MCAS was "to the best of our knowledge" active when the aircraft crashed. On 4 April, the ECAA released a brief note on its Facebook page, providing preliminary findings.
On 4 April the ECAA released the preliminary report on the crash. Several news reports claim that the MCAS system was disabled when the pilots used the stabilizer trim cut-out switches. The preliminary report does not specifically mention MCAS but rather states "approximately five seconds after the end of the ANU (aircraft nose up) stabilizer motion, a third instance of AND (aircraft nose down) automatic trim command occurred without any corresponding motion of the stabilizer, which is consistent with the stabilizer trim cutout switches were in the ''cutout'' position". The preliminary report confirms the pilots were briefed on the new procedures Boeing put in place after the Lion Air crash and the FCOM bulletin from Boeing had been inserted in the FCOM (Flight Crew Operation Manual). According to Ethiopian transport minister Dagmawit Moges, the crew "performed all the procedures repeatedly provided by the manufacturer but was not able to control the aircraft".
The preliminary report confirms that the thrust remained at takeoff setting (94% N1) and the throttles did not move for the entire flight. Approximately one minute into the flight 238 kt (274 miles per hour) airspeed was selected. About 12 seconds later the autopilot disengaged. Although the crew apparently recognized the problem with MCAS and disabled it, they were not able to counteract successfully the high control column and trim forces generated by the excess speed.
A data spike in the flight data led to speculations about a bird or other debris hitting the plane as it was taking off, shearing away the airflow sensor. These speculations were dismissed by Ethiopian Airlines, and Chief investigator Amdye Ayalew Fanta stated there was no indication of such damage.

When he died in August, former U.S. Rep. Dan Rostenkowski was eulogized as the man who saved St. Stanislaus Kostka Church from destruction when the Kennedy Expressway was built.
The spot where the Kennedy swerves dramatically around the church just north of Division Street was even referred to as "Rostenkowski curve." But it should be "Prusinski curve."
A close check of newspaper archives shows that the real savior of the 1867 structure, an icon for Polish-Americans, was a lesser-known politician, Bernard Prusinski.
Prusinski was a political opponent of Rostenkowski's father, Joseph, longtime Democratic committeeman and alderman of the 32nd Ward. Prusinski upset Joe Rostenkowski for the post in the 1955 election, having pledged to save the church during the campaign.
A civil engineer, Prusinski devised the plan to shift the expressway's path east of the church.
As for Dan Rostenkowski, he was only in his 20s at the time, although already a state legislator. In a 1992 Tribune article, Rostenkowski admitted that he wasn't responsible for saving the church, but the myth remained.
Andrew Plummer, former deputy director of the Chicago Area Transportation Study and an expert on the region's expressways, will lead a panel of former officials and engineers discussing the Kennedy's history from 5 to 7 p.m. Friday at DePaul University's Chaddick Institute for Metropolitan Development.


With the Wall Street Journal reporting that shrinking budgets and national rivalries are slowly undermining European space programs and the Asia Times noting that the cash strapped National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is still able to find US$30 million in new funding for Google Lunar X-Prize (GLXP) contestants and the Inuvik Satellite Station Facility (ISSF) opening it's Canadian Arctic doors to collect data for the German TanDEM-X satellite mission, it's getting difficult to differentiate space players without a scorecard, at least as of this week in space for Canada.
Canada, with it's special status as a cooperating state within ESA should take note of this recent turn of events, assess how it could impact existing and expected ESA contracts and develop fallback positions should programs suffer delays or cancellations as the Europeans get their house in order (and those people who don't believe that ESA contracts could be delayed or canceled should check out my August 3rd, 2010 comments on the ESA ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter mission).
The agency is prepared to spend a total of $30 million – up to $10 million per mission – for data returned to Earth that would be useful for future human or robotic missions of its own.
The money is to be offered as additional prizes for GLXP contestants.
According to the article, the X-Prize Foundation (which administers the GLXP) has proposed that the $20 million grand prize for the winner of the GLXP be reduced by $5 million if a government-backed lunar mission successfully lands and deploys a rover in advance of any of the 21 GLXP teams attempting to accomplish the same feat.
Potential government backed competitors include the Indian Chandrayaan -2, China's Chang'e 3, Japan's Selene 2, Russia's Luna-Glob, the ESA's MoonNEXT, several possible but presently unfunded NASA robotic missions, the UK's MoonLite, and the various nodes of the proposed International Lunar Network.
Canadian subcontractors are providing components for a number of these government backed missions but certainly don't expect all to proceed. X-Prize competitors (several of whom also expect to use Canadian components) have pointed out that successful government missions could make the X-Prize competitors less attractive to investors, suppliers and sponsors due to reduced public interest.
Natural Resources Canada, in partnership with the German Aerospace Center (DLR) and PrioraNet Canada Inc., celebrated today the opening of the Inuvik Satellite Station Facility (ISSF).
The main mission of the ISSF will be to receive data from the German TanDEM-X satellite mission according to the August 10th, 2010 article "Inauguration of the first DLR ground station in Canada" posted on the DLR website.
Oddly enough, the DLR website lists the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) and the Canada Centre for Remote Sensing (CCRS) as primary partners in the project, unlike the Canadian News Centre, which credits Natural Resources Canada (which includes CCRS as part of it's mandate) and the Swedish Canadian PrioraNet as primary Canadian partners.
Remember what I said at the beginning of this article about needing a scorecard to differentiate the players?

Wow, is it cold out there! Raleigh didn't get much snow this week, but was expecting to set a new record for sustained low temps. Instead of my usual Saturday walk in one of our forests, I hunkered down and worked on getting to know my new camera, and took some pictures from and around our apartment.
As I mentioned last week, due to a late night mental fog I left my iPad on an airplane, and asked the American Airlines bot to please find and return it. It has not done so so far, and I'm not feeling optimistic. It would be hard at this point to lower my expectations as to customer service from AA, so I'll just note that they're staying extremely low. AA bot, if you're reading this, I promise to post an appreciative remark if you return my device.
That iPad was my primary ereader, but fortunately, I also had my current books on my larger iPad pro. I got the larger device primarily to use for downloading and reading piano music, since the larger size is helpful in reading two or more staffs covered with many notes. The big one doesn't feel as comfortable sitting on my lap, but it certainly works.
It was an exciting week in epublishing, with the best-selling release of Fire and Fury, by Michael Wolff, a whiz bang account of Trump's first year. Jocelyn, working in ebook production at Macmillan, was part of the team that got the book out on an accelerated schedule after Trump's lawyers sent a threatening letter. She texted me a heads up that this could be big, and after reading the published excerpts, I agreed.
You might suppose, as I did at first, that we really don't need to read a book about Trump, since we've read so much, and he really is not complicated. But even for those of us who follow Trump reporting closely, there is just too much to fully take in. All those oddities, shocks, and outrages form a constant and seemingly endless barrage.
Instead of facts and logic, he emanates juvenile absurdities. It's hard to engage his "ideas" with ordinary rationality, and so we have a lot of extreme emotions, from fear, to rage, and sometimes helpless laughter. Our heads have been getting slammed hard, like football players badly overmatched, and we have trouble getting oriented and making sense of it all.
Anyhow, I downloaded the ebook of Fire and Fury and started it yesterday. Sally, with her iPad Mini, turned out to be reading it, too. Jocelyn and Kyle, and no doubt many thousands of others, are doing the same. The right-wing propaganda apparatus is desperate to undermine Wolff, and I don't count them out, since they're really good at what they do.
But I expect that the book will help a lot of people who have been giving Trump a benefit of a doubt to see that that was a mistake. And perhaps the powerful politicians who, with full understanding of his unbelievable and dangerous incompetence, have supported Trump will be shamed into changing course.
These pictures were taken with my new Nikon D850. It's a recently released FX digital camera with some remarkable capacities, like a large sensor with 45.7 megapixels, shooting at 7 frames per second, and ISO up to 25,600. These specs suggested a long step forward in photographic potential, so I stopped in at B&H in New York in early November to test the beast. I liked the ergonomics, and proposed to buy one. They kindly said they wished they could help me, but could not. It was on backorder for the foreseeable future. The same turned out to be true for Peace Camera, my friendly local camera shop.
I finally got the D850 this week. From first impressions, the image quality is fantastic, and it has many helpful conveniences, like a large viewfinder and a vivid touch screen that folds out. It can also be operated remotely with a smartphone. It's a complex tool and I expected a substantial learning curve, but happily, most of the controls and system menus are organized like my trusty Nikon D7100, so it's not overwhelming. The only negative I've found so far is no surprise: it's noticeably bigger and heavier than the D7100. A silver lining: it will make me keep working on my upper body strength.

Sadler & Green
John Sadler and Guy Green were partners in a printing firm in Liverpool. In 1756 they unsuccessfully applied for a patent to print onto the glazed surface of pottery. Although they did not receive a patent, they continued printing on delftware, porcelain and creamware. They had a mutually exclusive arrangement with Josiah Wedgwood – he sent them creamware to be printed, they agreed not to print on creamware from other manufacturers. This agreement was entered into in about 1762 and continued after Sadler's death in 1789 probably until the death of Josiah Wedgwood in 1795.
Salopian china warehouse
The Salopian China Warehouse was the London retail establishment of the Salopian China manufactory in Caughley, Shropshire. The name Salopian derives from Salopia the Roman name for the county of Shropshire. The London business was in Portugal street in a the former "Lincoln's Inn Old Playhouse" theatre. The building was put to various uses before being adapted as a "China warehouse" where the Caughley porcelains could be displayed and sold to fashionable London customers. The premises was leased by Ambrose Gallimore and Thomas Turner, and then by Turner alone. After his death the Caughley factory moved its retail arm to Whitefriars and from 1794 Josiah Spode II leased the building finally buying the freehold in 1802.
salt-glazed stoneware
Pottery can be glazed with several different glass or glaze forming materials. Salt can be used as a glazing material in the production of stoneware. When pottery is made, during its first fire, at the height of the firing salt is thrown into the kiln, it vaporizes and sodium from the salt combines with alumina and silica which are present in the clay creating a glassy sheen on the surface of the ware. Salt-glazed stoneware was introduced in Germany in the late 13th -14th century. Staffordshire was famous in the 18th century for its fine white salt-glazed stoneware table wares. White salt-glazed stoneware continued to be produced into the last quarter of the 18th century, was its popularity declined after the introduction of creamware in the middle of the century.
A measurement term, meaning "20"
stippled
In stippling the design is created by punching dots into the copper, the depth and closeness of the dots creates different light or and dark effects.

Hence, to summarize the query: for the dates when the price is missing I need to check the previous days date, then match the specification and then pull the price from previous date to the current date.
Thanks in advance! The actual data has location checks along with 35678 days,67 specifications.Hence the inputs would be helpful.

A: So if I understand correctly you only look to previous values for the same specification?
The it's easiest to split your data.frame first into the seperate cases, then we only need to look upward.
There's the function na.locf from the zoo-package, that does almost exactly what you need: it replaces any NA's with the last non-NA value. Here I'm only assuming your data.frame is ordered by date.
And finally I notice you're using an empty string to denote missing values, generally you want to use NA for that. And na.locf only works on NA's, so I replaced the empty strings as a first step
install.packages('zoo') # If you don't have it yet
df.sample$price[df.sample$price==""] <- NA
spl <- split(df.sample, df.sample$specification)
spl <- lapply(spl, zoo::na.locf, na.rm=FALSE)
df.sample <- unsplit(spl, df.sample$specification)

Only if you have products for which there is no previous price, those remain NA
