I absolutely love this ad. Its subtle simplicity with how insane the actual situation is brings it all together. I love how the old man acts as a reality check. I actually watched this one several times and didn't vomit so that's a good sign. My favorite part is the old man's reaction when the bottle lands. I am looking forward to seeing this ad over and over again.
You have to have some kind of imagination to make beer bottles into doves and have the oldsters act like there's nothing strange about a covey of beer bottle doves looking for seeds or something. I liked it – maybe because I'm a beer drinking old timer myself.

RNLI Lifeboat Fleet
The RNLI currently operate from a total of 46 stations in the Republic and Northern Ireland.
Different classes of lifeboat are needed for various locations, depending on geographical features, the kind of rescue work that the station is asked to do and the cover provided by neighbouring stations.
RNLI lifeboats are divided into two categories: all-weather and inshore.
All weather Lifeboats (ALB)
All-weather lifeboats (ALBs) are capable of high speed and can be operated safely in all weather. They are inherently self-righting after a capsize and fitted with navigation, location and communication equipment. Current All weather lifeboat classes (ALBs): Mersey, Severn, Shannon, Tamar and Trent are in service at Irish Lifeboat stations.
The Mersey class lifeboat is designed primarily to operate from a carriage on a beach but can also operate off a slipway or lie afloat.
The Mersey was introduced into the RNLI fleet in 1988 and the last Mersey class lifeboat was built in 1993.
Developed by the RNLI in the early 1990s, with a maximum speed of 25 knots, propeller protection and a range of 250 nautical miles.
The Trent was introduced into the RNLI fleet in 1994 and the last Trent class lifeboat was built in 2003.
Developed in the early 1990s, the Severn class is designed to lie afloat, either at deep-water moorings or at a berth.
The Severn was introduced into the RNLI fleet in 1995 and the last Severn class lifeboat was built in 2004.
Tamar Class Lifeboats
The Tamar class is one of the most modern all-weather lifeboat classes currently in service with the RNLI.
The Tamar was introduced to the RNLI fleet in 2005 and the last Tamar class lifeboat was built in 2013.
The Shannon class is the most modern all-weather lifeboat classes currently in service with the RNLI.
The Shannon was introduced to the RNLI fleet in 2013 replacing the Tyne and Mersey class lifeboats.
Inshore Lifeboats (ILB)
Inshore lifeboats (ILBs) usually operate closer to shore than ALBs, in shallower water, close to cliffs, among rocks or even in caves. Currently Atlantic 85 and D Class serve Irish Lifeboat stations.
First introduced into the RNLI fleet in 1963, the design of the inflatable D class lifeboat continues to evolve to meet changes in demand and technology. The current version the IB1 was introduced in 2003.
These fast, light inflatable boats are suited to shallow water and confined locations.
B Class (Atlantic 75) Lifeboats
The Atlantic 75 is part of the B-class of lifeboats that served the shores of the United Kingdom and Ireland as part of the RNLI inshore fleet.
These boats gradually replaced the Atlantic 21 fleet, but are now in the process of being replaced by the third generation Atlantic 85 lifeboat.
The Atlantic 85 is part of the B-class of lifeboats that serve the shores of the United Kingdom and Ireland as a part of the RNLI inshore fleet.
The Atlantic 85 is the third generation B-class Rigid Inflatable Boat (RIB) developed from the Atlantic 21 and the later Atlantic 75.
Rescue Water Craft (RWC) & Boarding Boats (BB)
The Rescue Water Craft (RWC) is a jet ski operated and equipped for search and rescue. Being water jet driven the hazard of the propellers is removed and the shallow water capability enhanced.
Boarding Boats (BB)
As the name suggests, Boarding Boats are generally used to access the All-Weather lifeboat moored off-shore.

Retired Lifeboat Classes
The Waveney class lifeboat was the first class of lifeboats operated by the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) capable of operating at speeds in excess of 10 knots.
Based on an American design, 22 saw operational service between 1964 and 1999 at the RNLI's stations around the coast of the United Kingdom and Ireland. Read More>>
The Tyne class lifeboat was the first introduced in 1982 and was the RNLi's first 'fast' slipway launch lifeboat. The Tyne class can also lie afloat.
The last Tyne was built in 1990 and the class was replaced by the Tamar and Shannon class lifeboats. Many of the retired Tyne class lifeboats have now been sold to other rescue organisations across the world. Read More>>
The Atlantic 21 was the first generation Rigid Inflatable Boat (RIB), originated at and by Atlantic College in South Wales, the birth place of the RIB after which the craft is so named.
All Atlantic 21 class lifeboats have retired from RNLI service with last one standing down from service in 2007. Read More>>
RNLI Fleet Facts
The RNLI have over 350 lifeboats based at stations around the UK and Ireland.
Between them, RNLI lifeboats cover 19,000 miles of coastline and some busy inland stretches of water.
The RNLI have over 100 lifeboats in the relief fleet, ready to temporarily replace station lifeboats whenever they require regular or emergency maintenance.
RNLI lifeboats are divided into two categories: all-weather lifeboats and inshore lifeboats.
The type of lifeboat a station has depends on geographical features, the kind of rescues the station is involved in and the cover provided by neighbouring lifeboat stations.
All-weather lifeboats (ALBs) are capable of high speed and can be operated safely in all weather conditions. They are inherently self-righting after a capsize and fitted with navigation, location and communication equipment.
Inshore lifeboats (ILBs) usually operate closer to shore, in shallower water, near cliffs, rocks and even in caves.
The RNLI also operate inshore rescue hovercraft for areas that are inaccessible to conventional RNLI lifeboats such as mud flats and river estuaries.
Rescue Hovercraft
RNLI inshore rescue hovercraft can reach areas inaccessible to conventional lifeboats, extending our lifesaving capability around the coast. There are currently no Rescue Hovercraft based at Irish stations.

Typically, the hovercraft operates on large areas of tidal mudflats or sand where the surface is too soft to support land vehicles and where the water is too shallow for boats.
Each year, these areas see a number of incidents where people are caught out by the rising tide or trapped in quicksand or soft mud. Unless help is provided rapidly, such situations often result in tragedy.
Before rescue hovercraft were introduced into the fleet in 2002, the only method of rapid access to areas like mudflats and quicksand was by helicopter. And surface access was limited to walking, using mud mats and crawling boards.
The versatility and speed of the RNLI rescue hovercraft has made a huge difference to the efficiency and effectiveness of our search and rescue service, enabling us to save even more lives around the coast.
E Class Lifeboats
The E class inshore lifeboat is the fastest in the RNLI fleet and was specially designed for London's busy River Thames.

With its powerful tidal currents, submerged debris and heavy traffic, the River Thames can be incredibly dangerous for those on and by the water and the E class lifeboat was designed to handle these river conditions.
Stationed at our two busiest lifeboat stations, Tower and Chiswick, the first generation of E class lifeboats the Mk1 was introduced into the fleet in 2002 and the second generation the Mk2 in 2012.
Speed is of the utmost importance on the River Thames in London. Many emergencies involve people in the water, at the mercy of the river's cold temperatures, fast-flowing currents and busy traffic.
The latest Mk2 E class lifeboat is capable of a top speed of 40 knots, making her the fastest lifeboat in the RNLI fleet.
E class lifeboats lie afloat at our Tower and Chiswick Lifeboat Stations, ready for the quickest launch possible, and can operate in both daylight and darkness.
And once at the scene, crew can pull casualties out of the water quickly from the working platform at the stern.
The Mk2 E class lifeboat was designed by RNLI engineers in conjunction with Liverpool-based expert RIB builder Marine Specialist Technology Ltd. Lifeboat crews were consulted throughout the project, giving their views on how the Mk1 E class could be improved.
Arancia Class Rescue Boat
The Arancia class inshore rescue boats (IRBs) are primarily used by RNLI lifeguards so that they can reach casualties in the surf, fast.
Arancia class inshore rescue boat A-76 is launched for a demonstration following the boats naming ceremony. Photo: Martin Fish
The Arancia Inshore Rescue Craft, originates from New Zealand where it is made by Arancia Industries Ltd.
It can be launched quickly and can power through the surf at a top speed of 26 knots.
It is launched and recovered from a trolley or trailer. The trolley can be pulled into the surf by hand, saving vital seconds. She can also be towed to a suitable launching site using an all-terrain vehicle or patrol vehicle.
Inshore rescue boats are ideal for rescues in the surf, close to shore, rocks and cliffs and even inside caves.
The boat is light enough for two people to launch but sturdy enough for use in heavy surf conditions as well.
It copes well with the shallow waters of estuaries and complements the conventional lifeboats at our lifeboat stations.
The craft is made from hypalon-coated fabric, an extremely durable synthetic rubber. The fabric is tensioned by a separate keelson tube fitted under removable floorboards. This forms a shallow V section that allows the inshore rescue boat to maintain speed and manoeuvrability through a wide range of difficult conditions.

How the Friedrichs v. Calif. Teachers Association SCOTUS Case Could Actually Be a Boon for Unions
As unions file their legal briefs in the epic Friedrichs vs. CTA anti-union Supreme Court case, one clever legal scholar argues that Friedrichs is "an unexpected tool for labor."
University of Chicago Teaching Fellow Heather Whitney's forthcoming paper in the NYU Journal of Law and Liberty makes a compelling case that an adverse decision in Friedrichs would hand unions a first amendment argument to refuse to represent non-members. And, as I have argued, that is a roadmap to union competition at workplaces, competing demands on individual employers and the end of contractual no-strike agreements.
Chaos, in other words—and just the sort of chaos that this attack on unions deserves in response.

New York City Mayor Files Amicus Brief in Teachers Union Case
In an attempt to thwart what would be a devastating U.S. Supreme Court (SCOTUS) ruling against mandatory union membership, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio has filed a brief defending the claim labor unions have the right to force employees to pay "agency fees," which allegedly strip out costs in dues not related to collective bargaining.
New York City joined a growing number of parties filing amicus briefs in the Friedrichs v. California Teachers Association SCOTUS case. The ruling is expected to determine whether public sector union members must pay "agency fees" to the union. Those fees are usually less than the full union membership dues, because unions are supposed to take out any of the costs for activities not related to contract negotiations when setting agency fees.

This Supreme Court Case Could Make All Public Unions 'Right to Work'
On January 11, the Supreme Court will hear argument on Friedrichs v. California Teachers Association, a full-bore attack on public-sector unions. The lead Friedrichs plaintiffs, a group of fiercely anti-union California public-school teachers, seek to reverse Abood v. Detroit Board of Education (1977) on First Amendment grounds. Abood has provided the bedrock constitutional analysis and recommended administrative structure for public-sector unionism for nearly 40 years. Its reversal would trigger an earthquake in American labor relations. The legal foundations of thousands of public-sector bargaining agreements, covering millions of workers providing all manner of public services, will disappear. The whole of American public employment, at all levels of government, will become a "right to work" (i.e., right not to pay for service) killing field for unions.
This Supreme Court Case Could Make All Public Unions
Re: U.S. Supreme Court Decision Will Impact Workers' Wages & Benefits
High court hears critical union case
The most important union-related case in more than a generation was heard before the U.S. Supreme Court this morning, and its effects could be wide-reaching for the Teamsters and other unions.
A negative ruling in Friedrichs v. California Teachers Association involving public workers and their unions could hurt all workers nationwide in their fight for their rights and decency on the job. The case pits nine anti-union teachers against the two teachers unions in California who represent them and against the state. The issue is whether states can order anti-union workers – whom, however, the union represents -- to pay "agency fees" to cover costs of contract bargaining and administration, such as defending grievances.
A decision in the case is not expected until June.
Teamster Nation: High court hears critical union case
This article gives a lot more information as to where things stand.
Supreme Court Seems Poised to Deal Unions a Major Setback
Collective bargaining, Justice Anthony M. Kennedy said, is inherently political when the government is the employer. "Many critical points are matters of public concern," he said, mentioning issues like tenure, merit pay, promotions and classroom size.
The best hope for a victory for the unions had rested with Justice Antonin Scalia, who has written and said things sympathetic to their position. But he was consistently hostile on Monday.
"The problem is that everything that is collectively bargained with the government is within the political sphere, almost by definition," he said.
The court's four liberal members were on the defensive, asking whether there was good reason to overturn a 1977 decision by the court that allowed the fees.
"You start overruling things," Justice Stephen G. Breyer said. "What happens to the country thinking of us as a kind of stability in a world that is tough because it changes a lot?"
http://www.nytimes.com/2016/01/12/us...back.html?_r=0
Anti-unionism is real reason behind Supreme Court case
The huge political consequences of the case were unstated in the chamber, but the argument was at times as partisan as a debate on the House floor. Carvin frequently interrupted and talked over the three female justices — classic "mansplaining," as Slate's Dahlia Lithwick observed from the press seats. Carvin referred to the other side's argument as the "so-called opposition" and pronounced Justice Sonia Sotomayor's surname as "Soto-my-ear." At one point he quipped that he has a First Amendment right not to join the American Bar Association, "because virtually every word out of their mouth I disagree with." Justice Samuel Alito guffawed.
The argument was mostly for show, because there was little doubt the 1977 Abood decision will go down. This will make it easier for public-sector workers who benefit from collective bargaining but who don't want to be in unions to avoid paying fees to the union, even for nonpolitical functions. Union finances will be further drained at a time when labor is historically weak.
The Teamsters and workers can't change the decision of the Supreme Court. But both can counteract any such a ruling by continuing to organize and pushing our lawmakers for policies that benefit workers. That why the Teamsters unveiled their "Let's Get America Working" platform last year and why it will continue to fight like hell to get it implemented.

May the Koch's and their lackey bottlickers choke and the most expensive items they digest today.....and may Hellfire and damnation await on the other side.
Selfish, greedy SOB's that they are.
We are forced to go through years of psychological, mental, emotional, and spiritual attacks to get a certain percentage to say they're even interested in voting to belong to a union.
Then it continues as a campaign is implemented to gather enough yes votes so that we have a majority to say that we desire representation and a legal binding contract. Then the abuse continues until the contract is negotiated and agreed upon.
Evil doesn't even attempt to hide in the current union busting.g campaigns.
It is outright, upfront, in-the-face, abuse of American citizens...oftentimes perpetrated and paid for by corporations....who are so ARROGANT to publicly state the they owe nothing to any geographical location.
Unionbusting is the destroyer of sovereignty at all levels. The destroyer of eceonomic political voice from the level of earning ones pay, to a combined political/economic voice in the locality, county, state and nation.
It is antiAmerican, antiCapitalist, antiFreedom, antiLiberty, antihumanitarian, antifamily, and antiCatholic...which in most of the world means antiChristian.....for most recent Popes since the mid 1

...mid 1800's, if not all have stated that unions should be honored.
Current politics shows that the majority have turned from corporate sponsored politicians as Sanders and Trump are favorites..unfounded by corporate cash.
If we are required to have a majority vote to receive representation....then that vote should declare a winner. And that win on our side should mean everyone pays dues and gets represented.
The nonunion side should not get their way on a yes and no vote to representation.
The prounion side definitely does NOT get representation on a majority no vote.
They CANNOT have it both ways.
Nobody got Romney when Obama won.
Votes don't work that way.
If this goes through....then right-to-work should mean everyone has a right to representation WITHOUT A MAJORITY VOTE.
NO VOTE ANYMORE.
NO MORE CAMPAIGNS .....WE PAY AND ARE REPRESENTED...NO VOTE REQUIRED EVER......AND SHOULD A MAJORITY BEGIN BEING REPRESENTED,BE THEY FULL OR PART TIME.....A CONTRACT AUTOMATICALLY NEGOTIATED....NO MORE VOTES TO JOIN. IT MEANS NOTHING SHOULD THIS PASS.

Global Polymer Market Definition
Polymer is one of the most commonly used chemicals in various industries such as the medical, food industry, electronics, and many more. Polymers are high-weight molecules that are made of a chemical called monomers. The interaction between the bonds, additives and the length of the polymer decides the quality and property of the polymer. Polymers can be both, natural as well as synthetic in nature. The natural polymers occur in nature and can be extracted and are often water-based such as silk, wool, cellulose, and proteins. The synthetic polymers are mainly derived from petroleum oil, Teflon, polyester. These are used as an alternative to mineral-based products in areas such as manufacturing, aerospace, building materials, coatings, and lubricants.
Polymers have excellent electrical, mechanical, as well as chemical properties. The high strength-to-weight ratio, durability, and corrosion resistance can improve product performance for various applications such as packaging, automotive parts, and medical devices. In the medical sector, polymers are used as a critical component in the global healthcare ecosystem from surgical instruments to implants and catheters, polymers are used in an array of devices. The growing preference of patients toward health treatment due to its cost-effective and convenient nature has now led to the increasing demand for medical disposables across the globe. This will effectively contribute to a higher growing market share over the projected timespan. The polymer in packaging and transportation ensures the safety of goods from damage and corrosion, facilitates the movement of goods, and moreover, is a touchpoint for brands. The rise in income and population will increase the demand for polymers as they are the building blocks for most packaging materials.

Global Polymer Market Overview
Polymer, in ancient times, was fully disposed of after its use, which then led to the increased amount of waste accumulation in landfills, resulting in harmful environmental effects. Eventually, manufactures of polymers have started using advanced technologies in mechanical and chemical methods for recycling these products. The major advantage of recycling polymer materials is that it helps in reducing the cost of manufacturing, due to the reduction in consumption of new or fresh raw materials. Thus, optimal resource utilization through the recycling of polymer materials to reduce wastage and create a sustainable environment is the new key trend being observed in the polymer market. Thermoplastics have the highest demand in the market as it has been attributed to the increase in demand for thermoplastics in the food packaging industry, due to its high mechanical strength, cost efficiency, and ease of its manufacturing. Polyethylene is the fastest growing in the polymer market. This can be fueled due to the acceleration in consumer spending and manufacturing activities in various sectors, such as automotive, construction, and packaging.
The main driver is the rising demand for polymers across various industries. The polymer has many useful properties which make it suitable for various end-use industry applications. It has low strength and hardness, but is very ductile and has a very good impact strength; it will stretch rather than break, hence it is used in fashion, sports, and toys as it provides flexibility in packaging, and allow easy molding of products. Polymer-based products have a good electric insulator, offering electric treeing resistance but can become electrostatically charged. In the agriculture industry, the application of Polymer is growing due to the increasing demand for drippers, microtubes, nozzles, and emitting pipes at irrigation fields.

Turkey Raises Tensions in Eastern Mediterranean; AHI Expresses "Grave Concern" to VP Biden
WASHINGTON, DC — The American Hellenic Institute (AHI) sent a letter to Vice President Joe Biden to express grave concern about recent actions taken by Turkey in the eastern Mediterranean that have raised tensions and the lack of a public denouncement of Turkey's actions by the Obama administration and the U.S. Department of State.
"We strongly believe Turkey's provocative actions in the eastern Mediterranean, which we condemn, endanger the work Vice President Biden has invested toward a Cyprus solution," AHI President Nick Larigakis said. "We have several concerns foremost of which is the silence of the Obama administration on this matter, which is deafening. The United States must denounce Turkey's actions to quell tensions in the eastern Mediterranean caused by Turkey."
In recent weeks, Turkey has sent warships into the area and issued a NAVTEX stating it would begin seismic surveys. Most recently, Turkey sent a survey vessel, accompanied by a warship and two support vessels, into Block 3 of Cyprus' EEZ on October 21, 2014.

The Influence Of Japan's Attack On Pearl Harbor
Great Essays
The Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor was so successful due to their undying will to expand. The attack on Pearl Harbor was the Japanese attack of the American naval base located in Hawaii. This attack changed America's position in the war from a bystander to a full participant in the second World War.
Before the bombing of Pearl Harbor lied Japan 's thirst for expansion. Being the pre modernized nation they were in the years prior. Japan being the weaker unmodernized country they had been felt it was time to get on the same level as the other nations. World War I was just the beginning of the expansion Japan had desired. With the massive scale of advancements taking place in their country the Japanese people needed more land in order to grow. …show more content…
The interception of radio signals meant the enemy or someone else could receive the signal sent and listen to it for themselves. This was used by spies and other countries to monitor the ideas and strategies by the enemy to gain an upper hand. Radio was also a form of miscommunication. Obviously technology wasn 't the best during World War II meaning that it was very possible for words to be misconstrued and taken out of term.
The attack on Pearl Harbor was directly influenced the invasion of Manchuria solely based on fact that the League of Nations just rolled over and accepted the fact that Japan did that. Japan expected America to do the same. By crippling their naval influence in the Pacific, Japan thought it would weaken American enough to back down and roll over just like the League of Nations did for Manchuria. In an article by the strategic studies institute titled "Japan 's Decision for War in 1941: Some Enduring Lessons" says:

The Japanese were successful during WWII and the attack on Pearl Harbor due to their great strategies. Officer Yamamoto Isoroku was in charge of the attack on Pearl Harbor and is recalled as possibly the greatest strategist in Japanese history. Yamamoto said that attacking the United States was a good idea but if conflict were to last longer than a year, Japan would lose. Yamamoto studied at Harvard in the United States where he learned English and also studied naval tactics. It wasn't until he went back to Japan where he achieved a successful naval rank where he led several fleets of ships and planes. Yamamoto was recognized as one of the top naval commanders of
Infamy Speech Before Pearl Harbor
The attack on the Pacific Fleet (Pearl Harbor) was taking care of properly and the reaction from the US was rightful and justified. The lingering question is if the attack that US had on Japan was too far and did not fit the "crime".

Even by defeating Japan, this was not enough to pay back the emotional toll the soldiers and families had to go through. Before the attack was even planned the Japanese government was going to invade Malaya, the Hong Kong, Philippines, Singapore and others.…

Reversing numbers---it can be a mistake and it can also send a signal to your mind that you are NOT perfect and maybe undeserving of money. Let's borrow benefits and tap on this.
KC: Even though I find myself reversing numbers from time to time surely it doesn't mean a thing. I'm open to looking at this.
KC: Even though I reverse numbers from time to time surly I never made a vow to punish myself for not being perfect.
KC: Even though in my heart I don't always feel worthy surely it won't show up in reversing numbers.
CB: Step by step, inch by inch---taking baby steps. Letting go of the shames of the past. Allowing myself to be imperfect. Striving toward excellence NOT perfection. Excellence means you do the best you can and measure yourself to individual standards.
As you go through your day know that you only have to do the best you HONESTLY can and KNOW that Perfection is not realistic nor fail.

House conservatives pile on Cheney at GOP conference meeting
Jim Jordan, a Freedom Caucus co-founder and one of Trump's top allies, called out Liz Cheney for all the times she has opposed the president.

Members of the conservative House Freedom Caucus tore into Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) during a heated GOP conference meeting on Tuesday, lobbing attacks at her for breaking with President Donald Trump, supporting Dr. Anthony Fauci and backing a primary opponent to one of their colleagues.
Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio, a Freedom Caucus co-founder and one of Trump's top allies, called out Cheney, the GOP conference chair, for all the times she has opposed Trump and began ticking off some recent high-profile examples, according to two sources in the room. While Jordan praised her defense of Trump during impeachment, he also said Cheney'srecent rebukes of Trump — which have focused on Trump's handling of the coronavirus, his Twitter rhetoric, and his foreign policy — were not helpful.
Rep. Andy Biggs of Arizona, the head of the Freedom Caucus, even accused Cheney of undermining the GOP's ability to win back the House and said that if someone has a problem with Trump, they should keep it to themselves.
Cheney responded to the criticism by saying she disagrees with Jordan's assessment and making clear her views are her own.
To Jordan, whose arch-conservative Freedom Caucus was a constant pain for GOP leadership when the party was in the majority, Cheney said: "I look forward to hearing your comments about being a team player when we're back in the majority," according to two sources in the room.
POLITICO Dispatch: July 22
The CDC is deploying teams across the country to address racial disparities during the pandemic. But the effort is running into a familiar problem: a lack of coordination from the highest levels of government.
Subscribe on Apple Podcasts | Subscribe on Google Podcasts
After the meeting, Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida — who is not a member of the Freedom Caucus but is closely aligned with the conservative crew — tweeted that Cheney should step down from her position as the No. 3 House Republican. He also discussed at length his issues with Cheney in the most recent episode of his podcast, which posted Tuesday afternoon.
"Liz Cheney has worked behind the scenes (and now in public) against@realDonaldTrump and his agenda. House Republicans deserve better as our Conference Chair," tweeted Gaetz, who himself once split with Trump over a war powers resolution. "Liz Cheney should step down or be removed."
Donald Trump Jr. also took a swipe at Cheney: "We already have one Mitt Romney, we don't need another ... we also don't need the endless wars she advocates for," he tweeted.
The president, however, has been silent about Cheney's public criticism, and has even heaped praise on her at White House events.
Cheney — a staunch conservative who quickly climbed the leadership ranks and has wide support in the House GOP conference — votes with Trump 97 percent of the time, according to FiveThirtyEight. She also is one of the Trump campaign's fundraising co-captains and strongly defended him during the impeachment battle.
During a press conference Tuesday afternoon, Cheney told reporters that she takes her role in leadership "seriously" and that "healthy exchanges" are good for the party, noting that she and Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) — who confronted Cheney during the meeting — are in a "good place." Cheney was later spotted on the House floor having a conversation with Massie. She also noted that Donald Trump Jr. is not a member of the House GOP conference.
Then, unprompted, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) chimed in to defend Cheney: "We're honored to have her as conference chair," he said.
The pile-on came during the House GOP's first in-person meeting in months, with large in-person gatherings in the Capitol mostly replaced by conference calls during the pandemic. And after Rep. Morgan Griffith (R-Va.) tested positive for coronavirus last week, leadership stepped up its safety precautions for Tuesday's meeting by requiring masks and temperature checks at the door.
The meeting also comes as there is growing concern in the GOP about Trump's slumping poll numbers and his leadership during the coronavirus pandemic. Cheney has been one of the Republicans who has been willing to publicly call out Trump — a risky move in today's GOP, but one that could position herself for a post-Trump world — and has managed to avoid the kind of scathing retort that Trump has doled out to others in the party.
But tensions over Cheney, the No. 3 House Republican, flared during Tuesday's closed-door conference meeting.
The confrontation began when Gaetz got on the microphone to unload on Cheney for previously donating to a Republican primary challenger to Massie and demanded answers about leadership's policy on backing primary opponents to incumbents. Cheney later pulled her endorsement of Massie's primary opponent and requested a refund for her donation after past racist tweets from the candidate resurfaced.
Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) and Biggs also defended Massie and expressed their concerns about GOP lawmakers playing in primaries involving their colleagues. McCarthy eventually intervened, saying they shouldn't go after each other.
Cheney told Massie that his issue is with Trump, not her, since the president has openly called for Massie's ouster. She also told Massie he was a "special case." But Massie insisted his issue was indeed with Cheney. Meanwhile, Cheney responded to Gaetz by telling him she looks forward to seeing his upcoming HBO documentary. A little bit later, she again took a jab at Gaetz, saying that filming a documentary isn't the way to win back the majority.
But the attacks on Cheney didn't end there. Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas), who faces a competitive reelection battle this fall, complained about Cheney's support of Fauci, the nation's top infectious disease expert, and pointed out that his Democratic opponent for November's general election even retweeted one of Cheney's tweets praising Fauci.
In recent weeks, some White House officials and other Trump allies who are frustrated by the slow pace of reopening the economy have tried to undermine Fauci.
The Wyoming congresswoman responded by forcefully defending Fauci and saying they should focus on defeating the virus, not launching attacks against individuals who are trying to accomplish that mission. Cheney again reiterated her support for Fauci during Tuesday's presser, saying his expertise is "absolutely" needed and she "can't think of a better person" for that job.
At one point during the GOP conference meeting Tuesday, Rep. Ralph Norman (R-S.C.) also chimed in, focusing his ire on national security issues and Cheney's hawkish foreign policy stance. Norman even brought up the Bush administration, to which Cheney, the daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney, replied: "I'm not a Bush."

A stand for democracy in the digital age
10 December 2013 - by English PEN staff - 4 Comments.
English PEN is pleased to support Writers Against Mass Surveillance, an international appeal signed by more than 500 writers from around the world and published on Human Rights Day, 10 December 2013.
The full text of the appeal follows:
In recent months, the extent of mass surveillance has become common knowledge. With a few clicks of the mouse the state can access your mobile device, your e-mail, your social networking and Internet searches. It can follow your political leanings and activities and, in partnership with Internet corporations, it collects and stores your data, and thus can predict your consumption and behaviour.
The basic pillar of democracy is the inviolable integrity of the individual. Human integrity extends beyond the physical body. In their thoughts and in their personal environments and communications, all humans have the right to remain unobserved and unmolested.
This fundamental human right has been rendered null and void through abuse of technological developments by states and corporations for mass surveillance purposes.
A person under surveillance is no longer free; a society under surveillance is no longer a democracy. To maintain any validity, our democratic rights must apply in virtual as in real space.
Surveillance violates the private sphere and compromises freedom of thought and opinion.
Mass surveillance treats every citizen as a potential suspect. It overturns one of our historical triumphs, the presumption of innocence.
Surveillance makes the individual transparent, while the state and the corporation operate in secret. As we have seen, this power is being systemically abused.
Surveillance is theft. This data is not public property: it belongs to us. When it is used to predict our behaviour, we are robbed of something else: the principle of free will crucial to democratic liberty.
WE DEMAND THE RIGHT for all people to determine, as democratic citizens, to what extent their personal data may be legally collected, stored and processed, and by whom; to obtain information on where their data is stored and how it is being used; to obtain the deletion of their data if it has been illegally collected and stored.
WE CALL ON ALL STATES AND CORPORATIONS to respect these rights.
WE CALL ON ALL CITIZENS to stand up and defend these rights.
WE CALL ON THE UNITED NATIONS to acknowledge the central importance of protecting civil rights in the digital age, and to create an International Bill of Digital Rights.
WE CALL ON GOVERNMENTS to sign and adhere to such a convention.
The above appeal has been signed by more than 500 writers from around the world. Signatories include five Nobel laureates Orhan Pamuk, J.M. Coetzee, Elfriede Jelinek, Günter Grass and Tomas Tranströmer, and prominent international writers including Margaret Atwood, Don DeLillo, Arundhati Roy, Björk, Nick Cave, and Umberto Eco. English PEN would like to invite all our members to join as further signatories. If you are interested in adding your name, please send an email to George-Orwell@mail.com, including your first and last name and nationality.

National Security Agency (NSA) Whistleblower Thomas Drake
speaks at National Press Club – (1:02:55)
Thomas Drake, former Senior Executive with the Secret Service at NSA,
was charged under the espionage act after he unmasked the waste, fraud
and illegal activity at the intelligence agency, spoke at a March 15, 2013
National Press Club luncheon. This crucial event was part of the club's
celebration of Sunshine Week, a national initiative to underscore
the importance of open government and freedom of information.
In 2011, Drake was awarded the Ridenhour Prize for Truth Telling and was
co-recipient of the Sam Adams Associates for Integrity in Intelligence (SAAII)
award. Accepting the SAAII award he said, with references to an 1857 speech
of Frederick Douglass:
"Power and those in control concede nothing … without a demand. They never
have and they never will. …each and every one of us must keep demanding,
must keep fighting, must keep thundering, must keep plowing, must keep on
keeping things struggling, must speak out and must speak up until justice
is served because where there is no justice there can be no peace."

everything that is going on in the Middle East but if we stand still and let it happen and not do anything as someone who is living in America and was supposed to be doing surveillance of everybody even those around the world but still so nothing where our own worst enemies and being passive will even make him stronger and that's why we had 9/11 America had planes that were attacked American embassies that were attacked and did nothing and so that made the enemy stronger against those they don't respect and their religion does not meet up to in this will keep on going on because strength respects strength and not weakness, and I am not after war I am after showing strength against those it would want to rise up against you or those countries the country have aligned themselves with.

Q: What is the best practice to query this type of data in laravel? I have 3 tables structure like below:-

products

id
name

1
apple

2
orange

branches

id
name

1
Branch 1

2
Branch 2

stocks

id
branch_id
product_id
qty

1
1
1
10

2
1
2
20

3
2
1
30

4
2
2
40

Expected result:-

No.
Name
Branch 1
Branch 2
Total

1
apple
10
30
40

2
orange
20
40
60

Below is my code it is working and can get the expected result but I don't like the way I do especially the part $stock[0]->product->name, I think there must be another proper way to do this better not to loop the branches in blade, is it possible to get everything done in query?

StockController

$branches = Branch::get();
$stocks = Stock::get()->groupBy('product_id');

//$stocks->toArray() output
array:2 [
  1 => array:2 [
     0 => array:4 [
        "id" => 1
        "product_id" => 1
        "branch_id" => 1
        "qty" => 10
     ]
     1 => array:4 [
        "id" => 1
        "product_id" => 1
        "branch_id" => 2
        "qty" => 30
     ]
  ]
  2 => array:2 [
     0 => array:4 [
        "id" => 1
        "product_id" => 2
        "branch_id" => 1
        "qty" => 20
     ]
     1 => array:4 [
        "id" => 1
        "product_id" => 2
        "branch_id" => 2
        "qty" => 40
     ]
  ]
]

stock_index.blade.php

@foreach ($stocks as $stock)

                {{ $loop->iteration }}
                {{ $stock[0]->product->name }}
                @foreach ($branches as $branch)
                    {{ $stock->firstWhere('branch_id', $branch->id)->qty ?? 0 }}
                @endforeach
                {{ $stock->sum('qty') }}

@endforeach

A: Hope this helps
$branches = Branch::pluck('name', 'id');

$query_string = "";

foreach ($branches as $key => $value) {
    $query_string .= "sum(CASE WHEN stocks.branch_id = '". $key ."' THEN stocks.qty END) as " . str_replace(' ', '_', $value) . "_sum , ";
}

$query_string .= 'sum(stocks.qty) as total';

$stocks = Stock::join('products', 'stocks.product_id', '=', 'products.id')->select(
    'products.name as product_name',
    DB::raw($query_string)
)->groupBy('product_id')->orderBy('product_id','asc')->get();

A: I suggest you use this code:
$query = "";

foreach (Branch::query()->pluck('name', 'id') as $key => $value) {
    $query .= "sum(CASE WHEN stocks.branch_id = '". $key ."' THEN stocks.qty END) as " . str_replace(' ', '_', $value) . "_sum , ";
}

$query .= 'sum(stocks.qty) as total';

$stocks = Stock::query()->join('products', 'stocks.product_id', '=', 'products.id')
    ->select(
        'products.name as product_name',
        DB::raw($query)
    )->groupBy('product_id')
    ->orderBy('product_id','asc')
    ->get();

If you haven't had the opportunity to try some of the Parker's Heritage releases yet, you should make it your number one priority next time you're at a whiskey bar. I say this for several reasons. Firstly, they are delicious. There are 12 unique editions available at this point, so you're likely to find one that suites your palate. Within those 12, we see a great range of styles and purpose. The style of Parker's Heritage does not aim for consistency but rather for innovation and uniqueness.
The most convincing reason to try Parker's Heritage is that your purchase is a contribution to the ALS Association to help cure what is commonly called Lou Gehrig's disease. Heaven Hill distillery, who makes Parker's Heritage, donates a portion of the proceeds from every bottle to the cause. This means we can drink great bourbon while also feeling good about a cause behind it, which you don't get to say about every whiskey out there!
Originally created by Parker Beam himself, we now celebrate his legacy with yearly releases of this special whiskey. For the 12th Edition, Heaven Hill partnered once again with Alain Royer to create a curacao finished bourbon. Royer is a master blender who has worked with some of the most respected Cognac producers and has released and owned his own lines as well. He has also influenced several American whiskey releases, such as Distiller's Masterpiece and the 5th Edition Parker's Heritage.
This 12th edition is seven years old and finished in ex-curacao barrels. To refresh you, curacao is an orange liqueur. It can use different base spirits and has an interesting history behind the different namesakes. We can expect some amount of orange will arrive in the flavor profile of this bourbon, but the specific type of curacao barrels used isn't specified. A fun finish to a bourbon indeed!
Nose: If you forgot that it is a curacao finished bourbon, the nose will remind you immediately. Sweet oranges, charred oak, and a slightly medicinal aspect. Darker stone fruits and spice.
Palate: Round and sweet. The barrel finishing is not overwhelming, but definitely evident. Caramel and apricot with vanilla spice in the background. Slight green notes come through until a smooth and spice driven finish carry you to the next sip.
Upon first sips, this is probably closer to a four star bourbon. However, the given 'interesting' factor adds a great deal of value to it. A rarity in the bourbon world, the curacao finish brings in a twist of excitement that make this whiskey that much more enjoyable. Also, while I highly encourage enjoying this neat, it would be a very exciting cocktail bourbon. It drinks like a high class whiskey with a rebellious attitude, and I like that. It's kind of like a movie star who breaks the law to prove a point for a good cause. The 12th edition is the whiskey that's doing the right thing by doing things differently. A fitting personality for a bourbon that helps the ALS Association. Cheers to that.

Depas Amphikypellon () ist ein Gefäßtyp, der zuerst bei Homer erscheint. Heinrich Schliemann entdeckte bei seinen Grabungen in Troja zweihenklige Becher aus Keramik, die er so bezeichnete. Die Bezeichnung dieser Gefäße mit dem antiken Namen Depas Amphikypellon ist heute noch international üblich, obwohl man sich sicher ist, dass man ursprünglich einen anderen Gefäßtyp so nannte. Alternativ werden die Gefäße auch als Trojabecher bezeichnet.

Überlieferung
Im ersten Buch der Ilias beschreibt Homer, wie der Gott Hephaistos mit einem Depas Amphikypellon Nektartrunk schöpft und seiner Mutter Hera und den anderen Olympischen Göttern überreicht, um sie milde zu stimmen. Im sechsten Buch erhält Bellerophontes von Oineus ein goldenes Depas Amphikypellon als Gastgeschenk. Es wird auch beschrieben, dass Achilleus Wein aus einem goldenen Depas Amphikypellon als Trankopfer für den gefallenen Patroklos darbrachte.

Beschreibung
Die Grundform der Gefäße besteht aus einem schmalen, hohen Becher mit rundem Boden und zwei gegenüberliegenden großen Griffen, die jeweils nahe am Gefäßboden und nahe dem Gefäßrand ansetzen. Es gibt handgemachte und auf der Töpferscheibe hergestellte Exemplare. Manche sind unten spitz zulaufend und andere haben eine flache Standfläche als Boden.

Depa Amphikypella gelten als Indikator für die dritte Phase der Frühen Bronzezeit im östlichen Mittelmeerraum (etwa 2300–2000 v. Chr.). So fand man solche Gefäße in Nordsyrien, Südost-, Zentral- und Westanatolien, auf den Ägäischen Inseln, in Griechenland und in Bulgarien. Sie sind ein Indiz für den damaligen Handel und kulturellen Austausch. Es ist bisher noch nicht bekannt, wo die Heimat des Depas Amphikypellon liegt. Die große Formenvielfalt erklärt sich daraus, dass viele aufgefundenen Gefäße nicht importiert wurden, sondern aus lokaler Produktion stammten. In Troja wurde auch ein Depas Amphikypellon aus Silber entdeckt.

Depa Amphikypella dienten neben dem Weintrinken zum Schöpfen, Mischen und zum Darbringen von Trankopfern.
