Q: SharePoint Designer restrictions - allowed number of variable and actions Whether are some restrictions about numer of variables and actions in SharePoint Designer Workflows?
I'm asking because I have to create workflow with a few hundreds of variable and actions and I'm thinking if do it in a few workflows?
Thanks for advice.
Regards,

A: According to the section Workflow limits in Software boundaries and limits for SharePoint 2013
For variables
Maximum workflow definition (xaml) size
Description: Attempts to publish xaml files that exceed the size limit will fail.
Max value: 5,120 KB
Limit Type: Boundary
Workflow variable value size
Description: The maximum amount of data that can be stored in a single workflow variable is 256 KB. Exceeding this limit will cause the workflow instance to terminate.
Max value: 256 KB
For Actions
Maximum depth of a workflow sub-step in xaml (workflow complexity)
Description: here is a hard limit of 125 for node depth in xaml. The maximum value of 121 levels accounts for the default activities (stage, sequence, etc.) that SharePoint Designer inserts automatically.
Max value: 121 levels
Limit type: Boundary

A: Also - on the topic of splitting in multiple workflows.  I find it easier to keep most things in a single workflow.  I try to use the same one for new and modified (you can check on the version number if versioning is on to check to see if it's a new record).  Workflows don't always start properly so you run into less risk that way.  Also, if the multiple workflows must fire in a particular order, that is a bit sporty to do but it can be done using auxiliary lists.  Do not use the 'pause until a field changes' action - it is very spotty on it's execution.  Plus, you want workflows to finish as quickly as possible so they don't conflict with someone editing a record (or their edits will error out resulting in angry customers).  Also, if you have multiple workflows triggered on modification then they can cross trigger each other.  SP 2013 workflows can invoke 2010 workflows as sort of subroutines but you have to do some fancy footwork if you want to reliably know if the subroutine workflow has finished - which doesn't always work even on O365.

A: I've run into workflow vars limits myself in terms of the number.  For SP 2010 workflows, I run into problems right around 100 workflow variables. So I just reuse variables whenever I can.   200 actions shouldn't be a problem however.

Cornwall is the most westerly of the English counties. It has an independence of character from the rest of the Country. The beauty of its coastline is unequalled.
Rugged granite cliffs face the might of the Atlantic Ocean, but on summer evenings, glow with the most beautiful of sunsets. Cornwall has picturesque coves and harbours and unspoilt fishing villages, hiding between glorious sandy beaches.
This is the land of King Arthur and the drowned city of Lyonesse, where history and legend are inseparable. Few more romantic locations exist than the ruins of King Arthur's Castle on Tintagel Head.
No wonder the dramatic cliff scenery and bleak moors of Bodmin feature in Daphne Du Maurier's romantic novels.

The hashtag marked a collection of statements from women who had been in abusive relationships explaining why they did not leave their significant others. The point of the trend was to counter the unfortunate narrative holding that Ray Rice's wife was somehow responsible for the incident that got him fired yesterday.
DiGiorno rightfully got a lot of very negative attention for a painfully insensitive message, but the brand's social media manager also did a very thorough job of apologizing after the jump.
A million apologies. Did not read what the hashtag was about before posting.
That's the official statement, but you may notice that the feed hasn't tweeted any promotional messages today: since 11:15 last night, it's been all apologies for the poorly planned message.
@mstory123 Mark, pls understand this was not intentional. I didn't research the hashtag before posting. An avoidable and colossal mistake.
@laurenonizzle @dailydot I'm sorry Lauren. It was stupid, and there is no excuse for entering a conversation without knowing what its about.
At the same time, we shouldn't really be surprised.
Some context: in late 2013, DiGiorno's brand manager explained to AdAge that the company works with its AOR, Resource, to create its signature sense of spontaneity. He noted that the Sound of Music live-tweets that earned so much media were not planned.
Our take: yes, the tweet was extremely unfortunate. Yes, a simple click on the hashtag would have revealed it to be a big no-no. Yet this is the sort of thing that happens when teams are pressured to come up with a brand response to every trending topic.
Here's what the social media manager did: responded to the tag, realized the tweet was inappropriate, and spent the next 12-plus hours apologizing for it.
Can we honestly think of a better way to respond to this crisis? At what point should DiGiorno return to pizza as usual?


BHUBANESWAR: The green fileld bauxite mining and refinery project of Utkal Alumina International Limited (UAIL), a wholly owned subsidiary of Hindalco Industries Limited and a part of the Aditya Birla Group, an Indian multinational conglomerate is ready for commissioning and will be operational by the end of this month. "The trial-run is on which will be followed by trial production thereby making the project fully operational," said Rajesh Kumar Jha, the Chief-Executive Officer (CEO) and Managing Director of the UAIL today.
The UAIL has set up a 4.5 million ton per annum bauxite mining plant at Baphlimali hills and has established its alumina refinery at Doraguda under Kashipur block in the district which once operational will produce 1.5 million ton per annum (MTPA). Many development activities have already been while addressing a gamut of needs of the affected people in various fields like, education, health care, cultivation undertaken thereby and the company is committed to a scads of social work under its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), Jha added.
The mine at Baphilimali hills in the district of Rayagada, nearly 400 km from state capital Bhubaneswar, has a bauxite reserve of about 200 million tons.
Mean while, UAIL has broken new grounds in the area of Corporate Social Responsibility by undertaking myriads of development works at the project site in the Doraguda and its periphery.
Utkal Alumina has endeavored to empower the youth through skill enhancement to ensure their future employment potential. A batch of around 170 students from among the Displaced/Project Affected families who have passed standard X are being sponsored at Company managed Industrial Training Centres at Rayagada and Kashipur in association with MITS Engineering College. Training in technical trades such as Fitter, Welder, Electrician etc., is being provided with the entire cost for study, lodging and boarding being borne by Utkal Alumina. Another 80 students from standards VIII and IX from project affected villages are also getting multi-trade training in the semi-skilled category at JITM, Parlakhemundi.
To carry forward the Aditya Birla Groups CSR vision and to contribute to the social and economic development of the communities in the area we operate, 183 displaced persons have been rehabilitated at two self-contained RR colonies in 480 square feet pucca slab-roofed houses on individual plots measuring 10 cents equipped with modern conveniences including piped water supply, electricity community hall ,school and black tap roads, said M. Ramesh Kumar, UAIL Sr. VP – HR, Administration & Corporate Social Responsibility. Though much work has been done under the CSR activities, in future we will continue to do so as promised by us, Kumar added.

NRIs must disclose foreign bank accounts in Indian I-T returns
Abheet Sethi
A new provision has been added to the tax return form (ITR2) by income-tax authorities requiring all non-residential Indians (NRI) to disclose the details of their bank accounts outside India.
Previously, NRIs could escape the tax net by claiming funds lying in foreign bank accounts as lawful income earned abroad.
But now, this won't be that easy.
Thousands of NRIs file tax returns to disclose the income from stocks, rentals, real estate trade, bank deposits and bonds in India.
However, they don't disclose their foreign bank accounts.
But starting this year, they will have to disclose account numbers of their foreign bank accounts, bank names, location, SWIFT codes and the separate International Bank Account Numbers (IBAN).
NRIs not disclosing information risk greater scrutiny by tax authorities
Under the new measure, if NRI taxpayers hold back information on their foreign accounts, they risk being questioned by Indian tax authorities in the future if they come across information on undisclosed funds or black money.
With tax havens more open to sharing data with India, such a possibility is more likely.
Non-disclosures could attract action by the Enforcement Directorate for possible money-laundering.
Indian black money stashed in Swiss banks declines
The latest measure comes amid reports that the amount of money stashed by Indians in Swiss banks has halved to Rs. 4,500 crore in 2016, a record low. This is a result of the Indian government's continued crackdown on suspected black money kept abroad.

Rachel Stevens appears on "Sliding Doors" Podcast
Rachel Stevens has recently appeared on Jennie Becker's "Sliding Doors" podcast. The Podcast is based on the 'sliding doors concept' based off of a 1998 movie: "The term a sliding doors moment became a term popularized in the late 20th-century meaning seemingly inconsequential moments that nonetheless alter the trajectory of future events."
In the Podcast Rachel discusses her "Sliding Door" moments including how she originally came to be in S Club, and how meeting her now husband Alex Bourne after swearing off men. Check out the official synopsis below.
Rachel Stevens is best known as a former member of S Club 7. Alongside this she has also had her own successful solo career, was a finalist on Strictly Come Dancing and has starred on stage and screen. Today she focuses most of her time bringing it back to her roots and love of fashion. As well as inspiring us with her effortless style content and outfit picks, she is also a wife and mum to her two lovely daughters
In this episode we chat all about how a chance meeting, led to Rachel beginning her journey into the world of music – and what a journey it was! We discuss all things S Club and how important it is to push yourself out of your comfort zone and throw your all into whatever you do in life. We look into her 'what if' scenarios and discuss what an important role relationships, learning from the people you meet, and balance play in our lives. Timing is everything, and this could not be more true when hearing all about Rachel's amazing Sliding Doors moments!

Next message: Alessandro: "R: [gundam] Sieg Zeon?"
Previous message: garrick lee: "Re: [gundam] Am I a Bad Gundam Fan?"
Next in thread: Loran Seakku: "Re: [gundam] Intolerance"
"Char Aznable" doesn't like Gundam Wing, so much so that he's started his own
"UC only" e-group. It's called the CharAznables_UConlygroup group.
"Thank You for joining if you have joined then you must be a UC fan as I do NOT
accept just wing fans, gomen but I no longer like wing so I wanted to make a
group like this one so I hope you enjoy your stay and my name is Char Aznable
and I hope you enjoy your stay. And as soon as we get enough members we will
start a RPG."
Meanwhile, over in Afghanistan, a fundamentalist Islamic regime called the
Taliban ("Students" in Arabic, presumably students of the Qu'ran) are destroying
all of the carvings of Buddha, some as large as the Statue of Liberty, because
they are offensive to Islam. Specifically, they represent idolatry to pagan
gods.
In answer to the almost universal international outcry against this action, the
Taliban leadership replied that there was no cause for such alarm, as they were
"only breaking stones."
Can you imagine how the Taliban would react to an order in some other country to
shred every copy of the Qu'ran on the grounds that it was sacrilegious or the
argument that it was no big deal because it was "only ink-stained paper"?
This is intolerance in action, people -- the second most deadly sin. The first
most deadly sin is self-righteousness, from whence intolerance and all the
others spring.
I'm always leery of people who preach intolerance, which is why I disapprove of
the so-called "zero tolerance" policies that have sprung up like toadstools over
here in the last few years. Intolerance always begins by targeting the
intolerable, but it's always just the foot in the door. Once you establish
intolerance as being acceptable, you can extend it to anything you find
But tolerance is not acceptance. Quite the opposite -- you tolerate something
because you DON'T accept it, but are willing to put up with it in the interest
of peace.
Intolerance is just a way of saying that you have no interest in living
peacefully with anyone who doesn't see things your way.
Me, I'm willing to tolerate a little intolerance. Unfortunately, the intolerant
refuse to tolerate my lack of intolerance.
Ironically, the least tolerant people are those who've been oppressed, mainly
because they've been forced to tolerate a lot of intolerance -- when you're in
the minority, you have to accept the majority rule, no matter how intolerable
you find it. When the oppressed get out from under, they tend to go overboard
with their new freedom and to become oppressive and intolerant of those who
disagree with them.
Lord preserve us from the underdog who is getting its day.
There's been a lot of discussion already about the UC / AC division. I've
tolerated it for quite awhile. My own experience has been that everyone's
favorite Gundam is the one to which they were first exposed. People who were
introduced to the sage with First Gundam tend to hark back to First Gundam,
those who came in with Z Gundam to Z Gundam and so on. There's just something
about your first love that makes it special, no matter how strongly you may love
another thereafter. So it was inevitable that we'd have an influx of people to
whom G Gundam, Gundam Wing and Gundam X are the alpha and omega of the Gundam
It was also inevitable that they'd be a minority.
And, unfortunately, it's just human nature that there'd be intolerance on both
sides.
But there needn't be. All we need to do is alter our thinking just a little and
view the other side as merely being unacceptable, rather than intolerable.
I reject you, I abhor you, I find you unacceptable and I refuse to discuss the
matter any further with you ... but I'll tolerate you and your discussions with
Now, that's not so hard, is it?
Deplore as you please, but tolerate.
Don't accept anything you find distasteful, but tolerate those who think
After all, if you wall yourself away or shut out those who fail to see the
light, how will you ever convert them to your way of thinking?

He had trouble answering a question on the topic in 2009.
While it's anyone's guess what presumptive GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump thinks about evolution, his rumored running mate apparently doesn't think it's real.
Indiana Gov. Mike Pence (R), whom Trump has allegedly selected to be his vice presidential running mate, struggled to answer questions about evolution during a 2009 interview with MSNBC's Chris Matthews. At the time, Pence was a congressman representing Indiana's 6th District.
Matthews repeatedly asked if he believed in evolution, which the scientific community widely accepts as fact. Pence would not outright answer the question, but implied that he instead subscribes to creationism.
MATTHEWS: Okay, you want to educate the American people about science and its relevance today. Do you believe in evolution, sir?
Pence has stayed silent on the topic since then, and his office didn't immediately reply to a request for comment on his current views.
Trump has also not made his views on the issue clear. While most of his rivals during the GOP primary either flatly rejected evolution or claimed they didn't have the scientific knowledge to make that call, Trump has been silent on what he believes.
A debate prep memo penned by ex-Trump adviser Roger Stone ahead of the first GOP debate last year, however, coached Trump to say he "believe[s] in both" creationism and evolution if asked.

Startup Step: Succeeding Despite the Naysayers
Overcoming the Naysayers: Amy Kilvington
posted by: Annie Hartnett
Starting your own business is scary and involves lots and lots of hard work. When you first get started, all you have is your idea and your determination to succeed. You must create everything else along the way.
In order to build self-confidence and strengthen their concept, most people reach out to friends and family to get input and hopefully find some support. However, these requests for support are often met with pessimism and discouraging feedback ranging from legitimate "constructive criticism" to just plain old criticism. While all feedback should be taken into consideration, it's important to understand that the decisions you make are yours alone, and no one is more qualified to make them than you.
If this worries you, I've got some good news. You're in good company. The world is filled with extraordinarily successful entrepreneurs who were told that their ideas wouldn't succeed or that they didn't have the time, talent, or resources to be successful.
It's not that the naysayers are not smart or that they want you to fail, it's just that they don't have all the information. They don't always see your vision and they don't understand your determination. Therefore, while it's useful and necessary to talk to people about your business, you must always keep in mind that only you know what you're capable of.
In order to show you that this isn't just a theory, we've launched a series of interviews with entrepreneurs who have succeeded despite the naysayers. These aren't the "outliers," who are so rare that people write books about them. These are just ordinary people who set out to start a business and who have found great success despite the fact that the people around them told them they couldn't do it and shouldn't even try.
Introducing entrepreneur Amy Kilvington …
(Interviewed here by Annie Hartnett)
You worked as Head of Content at a full-service digital agency before you started your own business. How did you feel about that work, and what prompted you to leave that position to start your own business?
Life at a marketing agency is certainly exciting, with plenty of diverse clients and campaigns to work on. The hours were long and the work could be challenging, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. My colleagues were mostly great, and we supported each other through our projects as well as forming firm friendships outside of work. There was fun to be had, too; weekly events, dinners with clients, awards ceremonies and after-work socials allowed us to blow off steam while keeping team morale high. Of course, there were downsides to working in this environment. It's easy to get lost in the noise of a fast-paced, high pressure agency, and when your department is the smallest in the company, you feel the impact even more. I grew to realize that no matter how loud you shout, it's often impossible to be heard. After weighing the pros and cons of my current career situation, I knew it was time to go solo.
In your initial message to ChooseWhat, you mentioned that when you shared the idea for Naturally Content, "colleagues and friends were skeptical, suggesting that companies are more interested in full-scale marketing strategies that are offered by larger agencies." What were some of the discouraging comments, and which comments were most difficult to hear and why?
When I first announced that I was setting up my own business, I received as many judgments and doubts as I did congratulations. This took me aback, as I never expected that many negative reactions (In my opinion, entrepreneurship is nothing but positive!). There seemed to be a lot of focus on the notion that a client would choose a larger agency over me because it could offer a broader service. Why would a company opt for simple content marketing assistance, when they could get technical SEO, paid search, and traditional media marketing from one dedicated source? These comments frustrated me because I knew there was a gap in the market for a content-specific service, focusing purely on marketing businesses through creative content solutions.
There were also snide comments about me being "brave." This still makes me laugh—because content marketing is such a dangerous business, right? And there was a rather nasty dig about the "luxury" of leaving full-time work and becoming self-employed. The truth was, it wasn't a luxury at all. I had saved frantically for several months, ensuring that I had enough money in the bank to tide me over, just in case my plan didn't work out. I had more sleepless nights than I can count; and to this day, not a day goes by that I don't worry about finances, deadlines, and the future of my business. Knowing that I proved people wrong does bring me comfort, though!
How did you overcome those naysayers? What was your process for getting past the discouragement and moving forward with your idea?
The busyness that followed my announcement was a blessing in disguise. I had so much to think about that it was quite easy to push the discouragement and doubts to the back of my mind. I'm usually a very sensitive person, but since I was in the middle of launching a business, I simply didn't have the time to lament over the negativity of others. I pushed forward with my plans and focused on my end goal, and by the time the craziness of Naturally Content's first months had subsided, I was able to reflect on the naysayers with a smile on my face—I'd proved them wrong without even thinking about it.
What was the time frame and what did the transition look like? For instance, did you resign your position first and then begin the business or were you working on both simultaneously for a while?
Without sounding like a cliché, I genuinely believe that it was meant to be. I'd been toying with the idea of becoming self-employed for a while, and when I finally plucked up the courage to do it, my first freelance opportunity rolled in from an old friend. The project was a considerable size for my first one, and after calculating how many hours this would take and how much I would charge, I realized the financial benefits of becoming my own boss! This gave me the final push to speak with my boss and tell him my news. I worked a three-week notice period following my resignation, and I didn't start working on my first Naturally Content project until I was officially self-employed. I wanted to focus purely on completing my role before leaving, and it didn't seem fair to be moonlighting at a company that had treated me so well.
Your web site is gorgeous with clean, crisp copy and design. Tell me a little more about Naturally Content and how you came up with the idea and branding for the business.
Thank you so much! I'd come up with the idea of 'Naturally' way before I decided to take the plunge and set up my business officially. I was always telling my clients that the best way to approach content marketing was through honest, authentic, natural methods – not paying for backlinks, buying social media followers or sending spammy emails (which a lot of them wanted to do!) The concept of natural content then developed into "Naturally Content," and I loved the additional connotations of being effortlessly happy and contented—naturally content. For me, "Naturally Content" isn't just the name of my business, but the way it changed my mindset. No longer am I stressed-out, uptight, and busy; instead, I'm positive, motivated and inspired (and still busy… but in the very best way!) I'm doing a job that brings me joy every single day.
In terms of the look and feel of Naturally Content, I wanted to keep things fresh and simple, with a feminine twist. I initially leaned towards a more green-toned scheme, but I realized I might run the risk of looking like a health food brand! Instead, I opted for my favorite shade of turquoise—a lovely mix of fresh, natural green and 'social media' blue (It works for Twitter, LinkedIn, and Facebook, after all!). I keep my imagery crisp and simple, too, with plenty of clean shapes and white space – my Instagram account is a good example of this: @NaturallyContent. My main typeface is Coneria, an attractive script with natural loops and lines, and I coordinate this with a basic sans-serif font, Source Sans Pro.
I love hearing about your thought process! How do you feel about the decision to launch your own business now? Why?
Starting my own business is hands-down the best decision I've ever made. I get such a buzz when I look back at my achievements over the last two years, and every time I feel a little worried or stressed, I just have to remind myself of how far I've come. I feel such a strong sense of pride.
That's not to say that I don't still have the occasional 'what-if' pop into my mind. What if I'd got a job at a different company instead of going solo? What if I worked my way up to a top spot there? What if I had that nice secure salary and other company benefits? Would I be better off? Would I be happier? It's totally normal to have these thoughts, and there is nothing wrong with contemplating the 'what-if' scenarios. But after I've had my moment, I revert straight back to reality and enjoy the view—I'm 27 years old and I'm running my own business. What's to regret?
What advice would you give to people who want to venture out on their own and follow their dreams but are being discouraged from doing so?
I have three key pieces of advice for those that want to follow their dreams but are facing doubters, haters, and cynics: First, make sure this is the right path for you. Don't make snap decisions. Conduct your research, discuss it with people you trust, and then get plans in place for all possible scenarios, including savings and alternative solutions. If you've made solid plans, you can rest assured that everything will be okay, no matter what the doubters say.
Secondly, keep focus. There will always be someone wanting to burst your bubble, but at this moment in time, you have much bigger things to think about! If discouraging comments or snide remarks are getting to you, use them as fuel for your fire. You think I'm being impulsive and idealistic? You think my idea is flawed and I won't succeed? You think I'd be better off sticking out a job that offers security, but doesn't make me genuinely happy? OK—great. Watch me prove you wrong.
And finally, remember that negative comments from others do not require reactions from you. Of course, if someone is showing genuine interest and wants to enter into a constructive conversation about your plans, offering their own thoughts and opinions, then that's a different story. But if a person is offering you nothing but doubt and discouragement, then just nod, smile, and forget about it. You do not have to defend your ideas or validate your decisions!

There are about 300 Psocopteran species found in Australia, with about 110 species being recorded in Tasmania (Schmidt & New, 2008). Psocids can be found on or around vegetation and litter, on or under hard surfaces, in caves, nests and in human stored products. Psocids have rounded heads and hold their wings above their body in a roof-like arrangement. They feed on plant material, lichen, and fungi. Their length can be smaller than 1 millimetre and as large as 10 millimetres. The male and female usually dance as part of a courtship ritual. Eggs are deposited under bark or on leaves although some families live bear. Nymphs are smaller versions of the adult form and go through a series of instars before reaching maturity.

The Monitoring Center's primary power for the telecommunication system is DC, and is supported by TWO uninterruptible power supplies and dual Caterpillar generators. This investment in the best available telecommunications technology virtually guarantees that your calls will get through, no matter what the circumstances.
Multiple T-3 circuits from each telecom provider enter the alarm monitoring facility through a fiber optic Synchronous Optical Network (SONET) architecture: one provider's two T-3s enter from one access, while another enters the center's network from a separate point with its own independent T-3s. It is mission critical reliability with triple back-up.
Even our power is backed-up. Dual Caterpillar generators are locked down in an environmentally secured enclosure that in every way protects the custom designed, digitally controlled, fully monitored 600 kw diesel generators. The generators have independent 1200 gallon fuel tanks and seamless switching so there is never an interruption of power.
As an additional layer of reliability, the monitoring center employs dual Liebert 150 Kva Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS). Each unit is capable of supporting the full critical load of the monitoring facility.


This plus-size model named Iskra Arabella is making buzz all over the world with her beauty. Internet is literally going mad over her new images.
Wanna know, why? Well, I can't put the reason in words, just look at these photos of her and judge for yourself.
She was born on 11th of September, 1990.


Stephenson won his first cap in 1920 against France to complete a remarkable rise from Queen's University's third team to international selection in just a few months.
Once there he was not to be shifted for a decade, missing only a single match through injury, against Scotland in 1929, as he piled up totals of 42 caps and 89 points, making him the leading cap-winner and points-scorer in international history when he retired.
Opinion as to whether his talent matched those formidable statistics varied. Welsh writer Townsend Collins had no doubts, noting 'quickness of foot, swiftness and grace, and the beauty of a deceptive swerve, he played for his fellows, he made openings and gave his passes with the accuracy and judgment of a master. He was a lovely kick and…was magnificent in defence. In many a game he was a rock against which the waves of attack broke in vain".
Neither the Englishman E.H.D Sewell nor Stephenson's compatriot H.J.Harland questioned his quality in defence. But Sewell reckoned that 'his wings seldom scored a try that mattered - in my seeing' while Harland, pointing to his devastating displays for Queen's, reckoned a mystery in 'his inability to reproduce more of that brilliance in international struggles'.
Yet his 14 tries remained an Irish record until broken by Brendan Mullin in 1991 and his wings, who included his older brother Henry, crossed 13 times while he was playing centre, against the 11 scored by players on the other wing.
Certainly the Irish selectors felt no urge to drop him, and evidently regretted that his medical career took him to London, where he was to live until his death in 1970, to work as a psychiatrist. His records were also to prove durable - he was the leading points-scorer in all international rugby until overtaken by Jean Prat in 1952 and his caps record survived until Ken Jones won his 43rd in 1957. Jack Kyle took his Irish appearances record a year later, and the points record lasted until Tom Kiernan reached 90 points in 1968.

US President Donald Trump took the first step to fulfill his pledge to "build a wall" on the Mexican border by signing an order to "build a large physical barrier on the southern border". Trump has accused Mexico of sending "rapists and criminals" into the US. The White House said that a 20% tax on Mexican imports could be used to pay for the wall. The move can spectacularly backfire on America.
President Donald Trump has signed directives to begin building a wall along US border with Mexico and crack down on US cities that shield undocumented immigrants, moving quickly on sweeping and divisive plans to curb immigration and boost national security.
The move "will improve safety in both countries", Trump said after signing the orders on Wednesday.
"A nation without borders is not a nation. Starting today, the US gets back control of its borders," he said.
The measure will also bolster resources for border security agents, increase detention space for undocumented immigrants and ensure people are deported.
In an interview with ABC News on Jan 25, Trump said construction of the wall would start within months, with planning starting immediately, and that Mexico would pay back to the US "100 percent" of the costs.
Condemning the move, Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto reiterated that his country will not pay for the construction of the wall. He later cancelled his upcoming trip to meet Trump.
"Mexico does not believe in walls. I have said it time and again: Mexico will not pay for any wall," he said.
"I regret and condemn the decision of the United States to continue construction of a wall that, for years, has divided us instead of uniting us," Pena Nieto said in a brief televised message.
Why does Trump think the wall is needed?
Stemming immigration was a central plank of Trump's election campaign. His signature policy prescription was to build a wall across the 2,000-mile (3,200-kilometer) border between the United States and Mexico. Trump successfully tapped into the resentment toward the roughly 11 million illegal immigrants already in the United States and said during the campaign he would deport them all.
According to Trump, "This will help dismantle cartels, keeping illegal weapons and cash from flowing out of American and into Mexico."
The Republican president is also expected to take steps in the coming days to limit legal immigration, including executive orders restricting refugees and blocking the issuing of visas to people from several Muslim-majority Middle Eastern and North African countries including Syria, Sudan, Somalia, Iraq, Iran, Libya and Yemen.
When will Trump face practical problems in building the wall?
The wall will cost a fortune but will be worth near to nothing, goes the argument.
The cost, nature and extent of the wall remain unclear. Trump last year put the cost at "probably $8 billion," although other estimates are higher, and said the wall would span 1,000 miles (1,600 km) because of the terrain of the border.
According to CNN, there already is a wall - 700 miles (1000 km) of it - along the roughly 1,900-mile US-Mexico border. And where the wall leaves off, drones, surveillance technology, or Border Control facilities and Border Control agents pick up.
Then, there are political challenges to building a wall that have nothing to do with Mexico or geography.
In Texas, a red state, a lot of Americans are not too keen on building a new wall, and the same is true in New Mexico. In Arizona, most of the Mexico border already has a wall.
Many in these southern border states who oppose further extending the wall believe it would inhibit commercial and agricultural activity. In some areas, America's longstanding deference to tribal lands would prohibit such a barrier.
Experts have voiced doubts about whether a wall would actually stem illegal immigration, or if it is worth the 20 billion dollars it is expected to cost.
Any action from the White House would be piecemeal, diverting only existing funds toward the project.
The numbers are not adding up.
Migration by Mexicans to the US is at its lowest point since the 1970s, according to Mexican government and international data.
Center for Latin American Monetary Studies (CEMLA) estimates that migration from Mexico has been slowing down since 2008 after growing from 1990 to its peak in 2007.
CEMLA reported that Mexican migration to the US is now negative, with more people returning due to lower workforce demand, repatriations, border controls and a growing anti-immigrant sentiment in states such as Arizona.
Note: The Berlin Wall spanned just 96 miles comparatively, and it cost about $25 million to build in 1961, or around $200 million today. The exact cost of a 2000-mile wall in a very difficult terrain is extremely difficult to estimate. At the very minimum it would be around 20 billion USD.
Where are the pros and cons of the wall?
The supporters of the wall believe that it would control the borders, which is required for national security.
It will reduce the amount of illegal drugs that are being transported over the southern border. The fence would help reduce the amount of drug related lawlessness on both sides of the border.
They believe it will reduce the influx of low skill illegal immigrants that are driving US wages down, taking jobs that normally would be performed by US citizens.
Further, the massive influx of illegal immigrants across the southern border is significantly increasing the costs to provide education, medical services and law enforcement.
The impracticality of actually "building the wall" leads one to wonder if the move is only tactical symbolism on a cornerstone campaign promise. But what it definitely achieves is, it reveals Trump's consistent adherence to his unfortunate campaign platform:America as unwelcoming: anti-Muslim, anti-refugee, anti-immigrant.
Many Americans view their country with pride as "a nation of immigrants," and President John Kennedy wrote a book with that title more than half a century ago.Its entire space program was designed and led by German migrants. But that is set to change.
Trump's actions could, thus, fundamentally change the American stance on immigration, as well as further testing relations with Mexico.
Given the need to coordinate intelligence and law enforcement activities at the border, maintaining cordial working relationships with Mexico should take precedence over sealing the border with physical barriers.
Smoke-and-mirror proposals like these will do little to stem a terror threat (terrorists with French passports, for example, will make it through easily) but do much to heighten antagonism toward the country. Terror groups like ISIS are experts at exploiting situations like this to boost their recruitment.
For Mexico, the rise of Trump is seen as the country's biggest threat from its northern neighbor since World War I, when U.S. Marines briefly occupied the city of Veracruz. It also overturns six decades of U.S. policy that placed stability in Mexico as a key priority.
Mexico depends heavily on the US for trade. The national currency, the peso, has already weakened by about 13% since the election and foreign direct investment, which had already tumbled 23% in the first nine months of 2016, appears to have dried up altogether since the U.S. election.
We are talking big numbers here: U.S. goods and services trade with Mexico totaled an estimated $583.6 billion in 2015. Exports were $267.2 billion; imports were $316.4 billion.
The U.S. goods and services trade deficit with Mexico was $49.2 billion in 2015. Compared to the huge size of the US economy, they should be easily able to absorb a 50 billion USD deficit.
The top import categories in 2015 were:vehicles ($74 billion), electrical machinery ($63 billion), machinery ($49 billion), mineral fuels ($14 billion), and optical and medical instruments ($12 billion).By imposing high tariffs on these imports, the US would hurt its own competitiveness. The cost of doing business in America would jump significantly.
Free trade is crucial to Mexico's growth.
While American political leaders ranging from Trump to Sen. Bernie Sanders have blamed NAFTA and free trade more broadly for job losses in the U.S., it has turned exports into the engine of Mexico's economy.
NAFTA helped a wide swath of the country develop, helped end the country's chronic boom and busts, and ushered in a fivefold rise in annual foreign direct investment—mostly by U.S. companies.
Just Thursday morning, President Trump threatened to cancel a scheduled meeting next week with Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto, during which both sides were expected to agree on a framework to renegotiate NAFTA, if Mexico refuses to pay for the wall.Peña Nieto responded by calling off the trip. The White House said that a 20% tax on Mexican imports could be used to pay for the wall.
Such a tax would lead to American businesses shifting their production back to the US, resulting in job losses in Mexico.
Further, the remittances from Mexicans living in the United States are a key source of income for many families in Mexico, where around half the population lives in poverty.
The value of the remittances considerably exceeds that of Mexico's oil exports.
Remittances to Mexico posted their biggest jump in over ten years in November, 2016 in a reaction to the U.S. election victory of Donald Trump, who threatened to block the transfers and eroded confidence in the peso currency during the campaign.
Mexicans abroad sent home nearly $2.4 billion in transfers in November, 24.7 percent higher than a year earlier, marking their fastest pace of expansion since March 2006, according to Mexican central bank data.
Who said what on this move?
During a White House briefing, White House spokesman Sean Spicer said, "Building this barrier is more than just a campaign promise, it's a common sense first step to really securing our porous border…This will stem the flow of drugs, crime, illegal immigration into the United States".
Asked about Trump's wall, Republican US Senator John McCain said a physical barrier is not enough to secure the border and called for the additional use of observation towers, drones and other technology."Walls can be easily breached," said McCain, whose home state of Arizona borders Mexico.
Mexican politicians, commentators and media have hit back at President Donald Trump's formal launch of his US-Mexico border wall project, calling it the act of an "enemy" and "unworthy" of the United States.
Senator Armando Rios Piter called Mr Trump's announcement a "hostile and enemy act" and urged Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto to stay away from a scheduled meeting with the new US president, scheduled for 31 January.
Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, a former Mexican presidential candidate and leader of the left-wing opposition party National Regeneration Movement, MORENA, portrayed Mr Trump's plan as an act of aggression."President Trump: your wall attacks us and leaves the [US] Statute of Liberty as a myth. We'll go to the international courts. Long live fraternity," he wrote on his Twitter account.
Prominent Mexican political analyst Jesus Silva-Herzog Marquez called it an "announcement of a humiliation", and appeared unimpressed by Mr Trump's offer of a "win-win" relationship between the two neighbours."Trump offers a sweet to Pena Nieto, while not hiding the stick," he tweeted.
Trump's plans prompted an immediate outcry from immigrant advocates who said Trump was jeopardizing the rights and freedoms of millions of people.
"The border wall is about political theatre at the expense of civil liberties," said Christian Ramirez, director of the Southern Border Communities Coalition immigrant advocacy group.
"It is not national security policy. Border communities are among the safest in the nation and patrolling them with tens of thousands of heavily armed, poorly trained, unaccountable agents puts lives at risks. This will turn these communities into de facto military zones," Ramirez said.
Just because a few Mexicans have committed crimes - just like a few Americans commit crimes - please do not call all Mexicans criminals. Send the criminals to jail for a long term; don't send all Mexicans home.Use your billions of dollars to build schools for American children, not a wall against a country which has been your friend.
How should this issue be ideally addressed?
'Building a wall' is a politically appealing strategy for its simplicity, but it misunderstands the problems of globalization and migration it aims to address.Building walls rarely achieves the intended effect, and may result in wasted resources and lost opportunities for the United States.
First and foremost, if a country wants to control unauthorized immigration, it should take steps to reduce the outflow of people by contributing to development projects in the sending countries and by creating a sustainable legal process to filter those it wants to come.
At home, the country must enforce laws that sanction not just immigrants who enter illegally, but also those who profit from their presence, like their employers.
There are three types of immigrants and each should be dealt with differently.
Illegal immigrants who can show they currently are employed and with no criminal record should be granted temporary work visas after they pay a fine. A work visa will allow the visa holder to work legally in the U.S., paying income taxes and traveling in and out of the U.S. with no constraints. These benefits should meet what most illegal immigrants are seeking. But because a work visa is not an immigration visa, the visa holders will still be considered non-resident aliens and therefore will not have access to federal means-tested welfare benefits. The work visa will be good for three years and can be renewed as long as the applicant is employed.
If illegal immigrants have brought their families with them, they ought to pay a fine for their families too. Their family members, excluding children who were born in the US, will get temporary visitor visas. The length of their visa should be the same as the working visa, and they can renew their visas as long as their primary family member's work visa is valid. Since a visitor visa is also a non-immigration visa, these visa holders will not have access to federal means-tested welfare benefits either.
Any illegal immigrant who has a criminal record, including creating a false identity or using a fraudulent Social Security number, can be deported immediately and made ineligible to apply for any U.S. visa for five years.
How to solve illegal immigration problem is not the problem. These ideas have been around for many years. What is lacking is the political will to do the right things and someone who can articulate these solutions in simple and candid manner that will win support from most of the Americans.

Since Twilio announced its definitive agreement to acquire SendGrid on October 15, 2018, we've been eagerly anticipating this day. I'm absolutely elated to share that we're finally here. As of today, Twilio has officially completed its acquisition of SendGrid.
What does this mean from an operational standpoint? SendGrid now becomes Twilio SendGrid operating within Twilio, and we can now formally forge ahead as one company to create the unquestioned and most trusted customer engagement platform for developers and companies.
But more importantly, what does it mean for our developers and customers around the world? We think it means bigger and better things for what you build, and how fast you build it. We believe this will transform the way you engage with your customers.
With any acquisition comes changes behind the scenes, but I'm proud to say that the most critical factor is not changing: Twilio and SendGrid's shared and unrelenting commitment to our customers and the value we strive to provide you every day and with each decision we make.
If you've been at a hackathon, conference, or meetup in the past 10 years you may have seen someone in a red Twilio track jacket and someone in a blue SendGrid hoodie serving developers side-by-side. We're excited about the opportunity to continue that journey of serving the developers in our community, as one unified platform.
As we talked with customers after the acquisition announcement, they told us they dreamt about an integrated communications platform that would provide a seamless way to create, execute, and analyze multi-channel communication strategies for every customer they serve. Given the combined technical assets and teams of the two companies, we are excited for the opportunity to creatively solve for those customer needs.
Developers and businesses using Twilio and SendGrid together have an array of available channels to reach their customers. No matter the immediacy or context of the message (urgent, two-way, media-rich, etc.) our combined platform provides a centralized location to create and deliver the right communication, at the right time.
The time between deciding which channel to reach your audience with and then delivering that message with the appropriate API or app should be lightning fast and seamless.
Access to a single best-in-class platform to manage all important communication channels: Twilio for voice, messaging, video and now, Twilio SendGrid for email.
Unmatched scalability and reliability to ensure their businesses are supported as they grow.
Our commitment to expanding the engagement cloud with application platforms targeting the various use cases within our communications platform remains. This includes continuing to enhance Twilio Flex (including adding email) for use by operations and support teams and continuing to evolve SendGrid Email Marketing and SendGrid Ads for use by marketing teams.
Beyond the organic product alignment (Twilio customers have been asking for an email solution for a while now and vice versa for SendGrid customers), SendGrid and Twilio also share strikingly similar cultural values that will be a key driver of success for this acquisition.
Joining forces allows Twilio and SendGrid to provide more value for our customers at a much faster rate and allows us to achieve much more than we could have as two separate companies. And this translates into a more valuable company for our customers, employees, and investors.
With this acquisition, Twilio now powers more than 600 billion annual interactions every year for more than 140,000 customers, and we are just getting started. And, more importantly, so are you. We can't wait to see what you build.
Excited to learn more? Listen in on a joint webinar or explore Twilio's products.

Practice Update: Injured O-Linemen Improving
FRISCO, Texas – Pro Bowl guard Zack Martin (sprained knee) is making progress but is not expected to practice Wednesday, head coach Jason Garrett said.
Martin missed the first game of his career last Sunday against Indianapolis and rookie Connor Williams started in his place.
The Cowboys (8-6) host Tampa Bay (5-9) this Sunday at AT&T Stadium. A win would clinch the NFC East for Dallas.
"He's as tough as they come," Garrett said of Martin, "so he's going to give himself every chance as we go. Today he'll just be working on the side."
Garrett said starting guard Xavier Su'a-Filo's eye injury is improving, though it remains to be seen how much practice he'll get Wednesday. Su'a-Filo hurt his eye on a fourth-down play in the second quarter against the Colts and did not return.
Tight end Geoff Swaim (wrist) and defensive lineman David Irving (ankle) remain out of practice due to injury.
Cornerback C.J. Goodwin (injured reserve) returned to practice, starting a three-week window for the Cowboys to evaluate his progress before they must decide whether to activate him or keep him on IR for the rest of the season.
